Buzz - If these are the new TItans jerseys, they're god awful
The Tennessee Titans are on deck to get new uniforms this season, and some random dude tweeted (has since been deleted so I jacked just the pic) this photo on Tuesday night, which may or may not be their new style.
Every possible synonym for the word "terrible" is what this is. What number even is that? What font is that? What are those stars doing?
The NFL apparently is investigating the source of this photo, because of course they are. The tweet has been deleted somewhere between last night and this morning, hmmm. Apparently things are supposed to be very tight-lipped when it comes to uniforms and they protect this shit like its the holy grail. There's a big extravaganza for the uniform reveal (aka "how can we make money off of this?") with a performance by some atrocious country band, so whoever gets caught with this reveal (if it's the real thing) is def getting the boot. How dare they.
Buzz-worthy-
The Los Angeles Rams traded for receiver Brandin Cooks on Tuesday along with a fourth-round pick. The New England Patriots will receive the Rams' first and sixth-round picks. Jesus Christ in heaven stop giving the Patriots more draft picks. And the Rams are just straight up going for it. Their other new additions include big-time names like Aqib Talib, Ndamukong Suh and Marcus Peters.
"We're going to take all the time we need, but there will be no limitations once the season rolls around." - Kyle Long on if he'll be ready to go next season after having three surgeries.
Sam Darnold will workout for the Denver Broncos this week. They picked up Case Keenum in free agency, but John Elway insisted they were keeping their options open, cause god knows they have a way with QBs (that was a Tebow pun).
Drew Brees is suing a jeweler over a scam (and over millions of dollars worth of jewelry), and said jeweler's lawyer came back with fighting words. "He should restrict his game-playing to the football field, and refrain from bullying honest, hardworking businessmen like my client." Damn.
Jordan Reed had toe surgery which led him to only playing six games last season for the Washington Redskins. He hopes to be back by training camp (like it matters).
The Atlanta Falcons and Matt Ryan are "close" on a contract extension. Hahahahahahaaah
In better quarterback news, the Ravens apparently want Joe Flacco and his newest receivers to get extra work in beyond the practice field. This happens when you have little to no receivers, or new receivers every year and find yourself forgetting their names or even what they look like from time to time. After missing last year's entire training camp and preseason due to a back injury, Flacco's eliteness is due for a new awakening.
"That's stupid. That's stupid, man. It's a once-in-a-lifetime, or once-in-a-generation talent, man, and you've got to be ready. I think he'll get paid. They not that crazy." - AJ Green on the Giants' trading Odell Beckham.
Dez Bryant hasn't met with the Dallas Cowboys yet about his deal. Set to make big bucks in the next two seasons, Dez and his agent haven't yet discussed the shake up that could be the Cowboys' wide receiver room shortly. Dallas added Deonte Thompson and Allen Hurns this offseason.
"I have a divine purpose to be here. You don't just survive those shots and walk around normal." - Stedman Bailey opens up about the shooting, and about his NFL comeback. If you read something today, read this.

Oregon's economy, Mexico's declining farm labor supply and issues at the port all have significant bearing on the future of Oregon agriculture. These issues were the focus at the Agri-Business Council of Oregon's annual meeting January 22 at the Silverton Wellsprings Conference Center in Woodburn. Three speakers were invited to present their findings, Andres Bergero, VP of Global Trade & FX Solutions at Bank of the West, Diane Charlton, researcher at UC Davis, and Curtis Robinhold, Deputy Executive Director for Port of Portland. Together, they touched on what Oregon agriculture must do to continue to thrive now and into the future.
Their main prognosis calls for several adjustments based on a variety of factors at hand. The current and future state of the U.S. economy being one of them. Bergero shared that overall, the year ahead looks promising. Our unemployment rate is decreasing, consumer debt is lower, the housing market is starting to come back and consumers are getting a boost from lower oil prices. "Consumers have more money to spend, so you can expand what you do," says Bergero. All of these factors bode well, but the current economic climate is not without its challenges.
One effect producers will have to contend with is a higher GDP. According to Bergero, this puts importers "in the driver seat," but leaves exporters scrambling to find techniques to overcome a strong dollar and stay competitive. While importers can expect more from a strong dollar than they could in years past, especially if they're invoiced in that country's currency, exporter's products don't look as attractive with a strong dollar. Bergero advises reducing costs, considering different terms, and renegotiating. All things that will need to be considered as available labor continues to decline.
Job trends show that labor will continue to be a huge factor and will require an intensified response. Bergero shared a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics graph showing waged agriculture will remain flat while self-employed agriculture continues to decrease. A large part of this trend can be attributed to U.S. agriculture's dependence on an imported labor force. Charlton and her colleagues analyzed 30 years of data that points to this very conclusion and the need for a change.
"In the 1950's the farm labor force in the U.S. declined rapidly, and the measure they took in the 50s and 60s was to import (labor) from Mexico," says Charlton.
Today, research shows that only two percent of California's agricultural workforce comes from the U.S. This means the remaining 98 percent is made up of workers from a variety of other countries, predominately Mexico. A fact that presents an alarming situation. According to Charlton's research, Mexico's agricultural labor supply is in decline and several trends are responsible. The country itself is plagued by a falling birthrate, an increase in non-ag GDP, more secondary schools, and an increase in border control. With demand for farm labor in Mexico growing, Mexico finds itself in a transition stage, simultaneously exporting and importing farm labor. "Mexico is importing workers from Guatemala at the same time they are exporting workers to the U.S.," Charlton says. Thus, the U.S. and Mexico are competing for a dwindling supply of available farm labor.
One solution would be to import agricultural workers from other countries not as far along in transition. Yet, Charlton points out that those other countries may reach transition and then we'd find ourselves with the same problem. She notes a few other viable solutions instead, changing cropping patterns, growing less labor-intensive crops, and adapting ag education. The ultimate solution will require a combination of all three.
Changing cropping patterns to grow less labor-intensive crops goes hand-in-hand with increasing the mechanization of agriculture. Both could help fill the void left by a declining agricultural labor supply. Another practice Charlton recommends to help ag do more with less is changing ag education, "looking at different skill sets that we can bring into this industry to help it grow." Bergero's presentation points to job sectors that are on the rise, and one of those is technology. Bringing skill sets from these kinds of industries into the mix could be a huge asset to agriculture and its prosperity in years to come. "If we can match those skills to the work, perhaps make them more technical, match them with technologies to make those workers more productive, that can really keep more people in the sector," says Charlton.
These recommendations could be what maintains international trade through West Coast ports, now facing issues and shortages of their own in the wake of recent labor strife. Most notably, the loss of Hanjin. "The loss of container service from Hanjin will reduce one of the lower cost avenues for Oregon agricultural producers to get their products to international markets," says Robinhold. For some Oregon producers, an increase in costs will become the new norm. "They will still be able to export and import, but by container it could require shipping through Seattle, Tacoma, San Francisco and Oakland, and that increases costs to farmers and producers," Robinhold says. Methods that require less labor and add different skill sets, like those suggested by Charlton, could help make shipping through other ports more affordable. These are the kinds of tools we need to consider as we move forward.
Although challenges like these lie ahead, Oregon agriculture will continue to persevere as it has always done. Making adjustments is just part of the process. Strong dollar or weak dollar, Oregon's importers and exporters have the tools to weather the storm and stay profitable. Adapting labor and adding new skill sets will be part of this, as will exploring new avenues so Oregon agriculture can continue to thrive. It all boils down to doing more with less, and Oregon agriculture is ready for the challenge.


Selected by SUP Examiner as the 2014 Gear of the Year, the V Drive from Quickblade Paddles is one of the most innovative paddle designs currently on the market. The unique blade, jointly developed by Quickblade founder Jim Terrell and renowned waterman Dave Kalama, was the result of a lengthy research and development period and marked the first true evolution in the design of SUP paddles.
The all carbon blade of the Quickblade V Drive is readily distinguished from all other paddles currently on the market. The paddle's name is derived from the pronounced "V" on the rear surface of the paddle's blade. The "V" is formed by a pair of dihedral edges which channel water as the paddle is pulled during the power phase of your stroke.
The V Drive employs a slight curve on the tip of the blade. The length of the curve is roughly the same as the section of the blade which flattens out on the Quickblade Kanaha. The curve angles rearward and positions the blade to make a cleaner catch. A similar design feature can be found on some outrigger canoe paddles.
Lastly, the "V" forms a small pocket in the center of the paddle which channels water and eliminates blade cavitation.
Moving away from the blade and up the paddle's shaft, Quickblade Paddles has crafted an elegant oval tapered carbon shaft which can be capped by a choice of either a carbon or EVA wrapped ergonomically shaped handle. The handle is smaller than most, if not all, other handles in the industry and fits snuggly into your hand.
Quickblade's oval shaft firmly locks into place in your lower hand when paddling and mitigates the possibility of the blade being out of alignment when setting up your catch. Quickblade's oval tapered shaft is stiff, quite possibly the stiffest in the industry. A useful analogy is to think of the suspension on a sports car vs. a sedan to give you an idea of the difference in construction.
In comparison to a conventional SUP paddle which breaks the plane of the water's surface during the catch phase of your stroke, the Quickblade V Drive pierces like a needle. Quick and responsive, the V Drive delivers a firm and quiet catch which is simply unrivaled in the stand up paddling industry.
The twin dihedrals on the V-Drive allow paddlers to rapidly accelerate and generate more power with greater efficiency than conventional blade designs. You can literally feel the paddle pulling your body forward as you propel your board over the water's surface during the power phase of your stroke. The use of the twin dihedrals quite literally "drive" water down and away in a solid, fluid manner. Similarly, the blade's release is quick, clean and efficient enabling paddlers to quickly set up their next stroke. A perfect complement to the strong catch and power phase.
Quickblade's oval tapered shaft is noticeably stiffer than other top of the line paddles and enables athletes to exert a higher degree of torque on the blade. By employing the tapered shaft, we found it was more comfortable for the bottom hand to grip the paddle as the shaft is slightly slimmer than other paddles on the market and has a more elegantly refined construction.
The V Drive works well in all manner of conditions, but if we had to choose a set where we felt it particularly excelled, race starts and choppy open water would win hands down. The manner in which the V Drive grabs ahold of the water during the catch phase of your stroke is remarkably superior to any other paddle we have tested.
The V Drive is an élite paddle designed for discerning athletes seeking the highest level of performance. It is best suited for SUP racers and surfers who derive a sense of accomplishment and thrill from using the best possible equipment while navigating the most challenging conditions and competitive environments on the water.

Adam Floy Casad (February 9, 1878 – November 14, 1927) was an American football player and an officer in the United States Army.

A native of Indiana, Casad grew up in Wichita, Kansas where he graduated from high school in 1896. He then attended the United States Military Academy where he played at the halfback and quarterback positions for the Army Black Knights football team from 1899 to 1901. He was captain of Army's 1901 team.  In announcing Casad's unanimous election as captain, The New York Times reported: "The new Captain is a short sturdily built young man.  He stands high in the Class of 1902 and is a general favorite with the whole corps."  In December 1901, Casad was selected by the New York Post as a second-team halfback on its 1901 College Football All-America Team.

Casad graduated from the Military Academy in June 1902.  He was given his diploma by President Theodore Roosevelt, who addressed Casad by his athletic, rather than military, rank: "How do you do, Capt. Casad. I have heard of you before."

Casad thereafter served for 25 years in the United States Army, attaining the rank of colonel.  He was awarded a Distinguished Service Medal for his service as Deputy Chief Ordnance Officer for the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I.   He was sent to study at the Army Command and General Staff School in August 1927 and died there in November at age 49. He was buried at the San Francisco National Cemetery a week later. Though a lieutenant colonel at the time of his death, he was posthumously advanced to colonel in June 1930 having served temporarily at that rank from January 1918 to June 1920 during World War I.

Oregon's Indoor Clean Air Act (ICAA) protects nearly every Oregonian from the health risks of secondhand smoke. The ICAA prohibits smoking in the workplace and within 10 feet of all entrances, exits and accessibility ramps that lead to and from an entrance or exit, windows that open and air-intake vents. In 2016, the Oregon legislature added "inhalant delivery systems" to the ICAA. This means that the ICAA applies to products such as e-cigarettes and vape pens.
Under the ICAA, smoking is prohibited in public places and workplaces, with few exceptions. Public place means any enclosed area open to the public. Place of employment means an enclosed area that is under the control of a public or private employer and that employees frequent during the course of employment.
The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is responsible for enforcing the ICAA.

Delhi immersed in the celebration of the new year, embarrassed, the dead body of a girl was found naked
The capital Delhi, immersed in the celebration of the new year, once again got embarrassed. All of the Delhi Police's claims about women's safety were proven false when car rider Raiszade dragged the lone earning girl out of the house for about five kilometers from Sultanpuri to Kanjhawala.
Seeing the painful condition of the girl, your heart will sweat. The girl used to work in an event company. Was returning home after finishing work. That's why five noblemen riding the car dragged the girl for five kilometers, not one, not two, not even three, but crossing the limits of their cruelty.
After the death of the lone earner in the house, what will happen to that family now? My heart aches just thinking about it.
The police have arrested the five accused who killed the girl and sent them to jail. Were the accused intoxicated or not? It's hard to say. On the other hand, after the naked body of the girl was found, after linking the case with sexual assault, the Delhi Police made it clear that there was no rape angle in the case. The police are calling the incident an accident.
On the other hand, in the initial interrogation of the police, the accused told them that they could not hear the screams of the girl because of the loud music playing in the car. Later, they realized that someone was trapped in their car. Also Read: Captain Shiva Chauhan became the first Indian woman to be posted in the highest battlefield
But the police are still reluctant to believe anything about the accused. The police said that a five-member medical board was constituted for the post-mortem of the girl. The girl's post-mortem will be done on Monday. After this, the truth about the matter will be revealed.

On the other hand, Swati Maliwal, Chairperson of the Delhi Women's Commission, raised questions about the Delhi Police after taking the matter into cognizance. Swati Maliwal tweeted that, "a naked body of a girl was found in Delhi's Kanjhawala, It is being told that some boys in an inebriated state hit her scooter with a car and dragged her for several kilometers.

DCP Harendra Singh, on the other hand, stated that the matter is being investigated. Strict action will be taken against the accused. The accused had put the girl in a painful condition. The accused kept dragging the girl for five kilometers. The girl was in a bloody condition.
However, the investigation of the case is ongoing. In such a situation, what direction will this whole matter take in the coming days. Everyone's eyes will be fixed on this. Also Read: Delhi immersed in the celebration of the new year, embarrassed, the dead body of a girl was found naked

Samuel Collier comes prepared when he visits. He has to wear boots to walk through the grounds, which is more like a swamp.
He comes about every two weeks to visit. To see his son's grave in this condition makes him upset.
"Every day. I'm emotional now. It's horrible. This place is horrible," Collier said.
The cemetery has been the subject of angry criticisms about the lack of maintenance for years, but nothing seems to have been done to solve the problem.
WLOX first came out to the cemetery a year ago after a complaint that a plot had not been completely filled in a month after burial. It was not very good then, and it's not very good now. Several plots have been incomplete for two months or more.
Family members have taken to social media to speak with a united voice in hopes of getting the owners, Tutor Funeral Home, to do something about the mess.
Powers is originally from Pascagoula but now lives in Grand Bay.
One day, she will be buried here next to her husband.
"I have no choice," she said. "I have to be right here," Powers said.
"That it would completely roll over or sink," she said.
The mess is not just in the cemetery proper.
At the corner of the property sits a dumping ground of old head stones, vaults and debris piles that look more like a scene from a horror movie, and it's all in plain sight of neighbors.
Collier said he wants to move his son to another cemetery.

Intel's Gemini Lake processors are low-cost, low-power chips aimed at entry-level notebooks, 2-in-1 tablets, and compact desktop computers. They're branded with Celeron and Pentium Silver names, consume about 6-10 watts of power, and come in dual-core and quad-core versions.
Gemini Lake is the successor to the Intel Apollo Lake chips that have powered this space for the last year or so, and those chips are successors to the Intel Atom line of chips that were pretty much discontinued a few years ago.
While there aren't many devices shipping with Gemini Lake chips yet, Intel, Shuttle, MSI, and Gigabyte have all unveiled mini PCs powered by the chips. Now you can add Alfawise to that list.
A new mini-desktop computer called the Alfawise T1 is up for pre-order from Gearbest for $220.
It sports a 6W Intel Celeron N4100 quad-core Gemini Lake processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, and support for an M.2 2242 SSD and/or a 2.5 inch hard drive or solid state disk.
The computer measures about 6.3″ x 5.3″ x 1.3″ and features four USB 3.0 ports, a USB Type-C port, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, HDMI and VGA ports, a microSD card reader, and a headset jack. There's also a built-in microphone for use with Cortana voice controls or other audio recording apps and support for 802.11ac WiFi.
If the case looks familiar, that's because it appears to be nearly identical to the Apollo Lake-powered Beelink S1, which launched last year. The dimensions are the same, the ports, buttons, and expansion options are the same. The logo and picture on the top cover are different.
I'm not sure if Alfawise and Beelink are related or if they just buy their cases and components from the same supplier.
Anyway, it's always nice to see another low-cost, low-power PC for folks looking to build a home theater PC, home server, digital signage system, or other device where size and price are more important than performance.
In related news, if you're wondering how Gemini Lake stacks up against Apollo Lake, NUC Blog has a review of a new June Canyon NUC mini computer with a 10 watt Intel Celeron J4005 dual-core processor.
The short version is that it's hard to compare entry-level NUC models because last year's had a quad-core chip and this year's has a dual-core processor. But while that means the Apollo Lake model comes out ahead in tests of multi-core CPU performance, the Gemini Lake CPU appears to be faster when it comes to single-core tasks. Gemini Lake also brings hardware-accelerated support for decoding 10-bit HEVC and VP9 videos at up to 4K resolutions, which could make it a better choice for home theater PC builders.
It's also hard to compare the Alfawise T1 to those computers, since it has a 6 watt quad-core N-series chip instead of a 10 watt J-series processor. But the point is that all things being equal, a Gemini Lake processor should offer at least a modest performance boost over its Apollo Lake equivalent.
If nothing else, Alfawise's promotional materials point out that the Celeron N4100 chip used in this computer has 4MB of L2 cache and supports burst speeds up to 2.4 GHz, compared with 2MB and 2.2 GHz for the older Celeron N3450 Apollo Lake chip.
Update: Ian Morrison reminded me that he also published a review of the Intel NUC7CJYSAL in March with more performance notes, comparisons with Apollo Lake, and information about running Linux on the Gemini Lake-powered PC.

I hope that built in microphone can be physically disabled.
ISaidThat
No mention of whether or not this computer is fanless. That's usually not a good sign.
It is a 6 watt chip. They should be able to make it fanless.
too expensive, should be under 190$, and have 6GB of RAM or slot to expand the RAM.
and no build-in mic, but yes to remote controll with mic for cortana

BeeLink S1 not ap34
I have S1 on order. I debated on whether 4 GB was enough. The S1 I'm getting has 8 GB. I think that makes a difference in the perceived speed.
I do have a Beelink Ap34 that I've added a 256 GB M2 to. Extremely happy with that. If the S1 is similar and if this box is basically a S1 then buyers should be very happy with it.
Whoops, looks like you're right.
My second choice after the Chuwi Gbox.

High-Tech Socks Could Prevent Falls in At-Risk Patients
Every year, anywhere from 700,000 to 1 million people fall while in U.S. hospitals, and this often triggers a downward health spiral.
Little has been shown to make a dent in those numbers. Until now.
Enter Smart Socks, which are wired with sensors that send an alert when a patient tries to get up from a hospital bed and puts pressure on the socks.
In a 13-month study, nobody who wore the socks fell, which equaled a rate of 0 falls per 1,000 patient-days. Patient-days refers to the number of falls and the number of occupied bed days on a hospital unit over a study period. Historically, this rate is 4 falls per 1,000 patient-days.
"While further study is needed, I do believe there is an opportunity for these socks to be used in inpatient hospital settings, nursing homes and rehab facilities," said study author Tammy Moore. She's the associate chief nurse at Ohio State's Neurological Institute and Medical Surgical in Columbus.
The study was funded by Palarum's PUP (Patient is Up) Smart Socks, but Moore and colleagues have no financial ties to the company.
For the study, 569 people who were at high risk for falling in the hospital wore the socks. No other fall prevention systems, such as chair or bed alarms, were used. There were 5,010 alarms sounded by the socks during the study period, and 11 of these were considered false alarms, indicating that 99.8% of the alarms correctly alerted nurses when a person attempted to stand.
When the socks detect an attempt to stand up, the system alerts the three nurses closest to the alarm via wearable smart badges. If no one responds within one minute, the call goes out to the next three closest nurses. If no one responds within 90 seconds, the system alerts everyone with a smart badge.
Nurse response times ranged from one second to nearly 10 minutes, with an average of 24 seconds, the study showed. There wasn't any information on nurse response times for bed and chair pressure sensors available for comparison.
Now, researchers plan to test the sock system in a variety of units at the hospital, Moore said. "We believe that there is efficacy of the product but it needs to be tested in a variety of settings and [on] more patients," she explained.
The study was published online recently in the Journal of Nursing Care Quality.
As the co-chair of the Falls Oversight Committee at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Megan Dunning is always looking for innovative ways to prevent her patients from falling.
"I think there is a role for the socks in fall prevention in an inpatient setting," said Dunning, who reviewed the new study.
"The evidence in the article makes a pretty big statement, since the unit had 0 falls during the pilot period, [and it] also seems promising that the nurse response times were quick, as nurses knew that the chance this was a false positive was low," Dunning said.
Cost may be a factor for hospitals who are considering implementing this type of system, she noted.
One of the only things that has been found to decrease falls is walking around, she added. "Mobilizing patients while they are in the hospital, to prevent deconditioning and complications, can be very effective in reducing falls," Dunning said.
Dr. Catherine Sarkisian, a geriatrician and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, agreed that getting people up and walking is really important.
Unfortunately, these socks would force people to stay in bed.
"Staying in bed is a very strong driver of new disability for older adults who are hospitalized," she said. "Even if the Smart Socks actually prevented falls in the hospital, it might cause more disability and frailty, so that when patients go home they are weaker and more likely to fall at home."
Still, the research "addresses a huge problem since injurious falls in the hospital are very common and not only hurt, but literally kill, patients every year," said Sarkisian.
It's too early to draw any conclusions about what role these socks may play in preventing falls in the hospital, said Sarkisian.
There is not much else that is shown to prevent falls among people in the hospital, she noted. Despite their widespread use, bed and chair pressure sensors don't really prevent falls.
"The one intervention that has been shown to work is for patients with known low vitamin D levels: that is to replete the vitamin D in those patients and that does decrease falls," Sarkisian said.
The U.S. National Institute on Aging has more tips on how to prevent falls and fractures.

In cleaning the skin this general rule applies: "As little as possible, as much as necessary".
That means that the hands must not be cleaned with skin cleaning agents unless they are dirty or stained. For example, cleaning the hands after wearing gloves is not absolutely necessary.
The ph value should be pH-neutral (about 5.5) in order not to overtax the acid skin mantle.
The product should be free of artificial colour, perfumes and preservatives, as these substances can provoke an allergic reaction.
The product should be free of solvents and abrasives.
Lukewarm water should be used to clean the skin. After cleaning, the hands should be carefully dabbed dry with the softest disposable paper tissue available. In no case should you reuse customer towels, as residue of, for example, hair colouring agents or shampoo may be found on them which can harm the skin and even produce allergies. Vigorous rubbing leads to abrasion of the outer cornified layer and can thus increase the damage to the skin barrier.

Abstract: A rhyolite porphyry in the Radzimowice deposit at Bukowinka Hill has a SHRIMP zircon U-Pb age of 314.9 ± 3.1 Ma. This is consistent with previous zircon dating of a monzogranite and a rhyodacite (ca. 315 Ma) in the Żeleźniak sub-volcanic intrusion (ZI), considered to be the igneous rocks, representing the oldest magmatic pulses in the region. First-stage mesothermal auriferous sulphide mineralization in the deposit was connected to hydrothermal processes, associated with the rhyodacite intrusions. This was followed by tectonic activity and younger alkaline magmatism in a post-collisional geotectonic setting. The first-stage Au-bearing sulphide mineralization was cataclased and overprinted by younger epithermal base-metal sulphides with microscopic Au, associated with Bi-Te-Ag minerals. The younger magmatic pulses are represented by porphyritic andesites and lamprophyric dykes, which cut the ZI. Zircon from these dykes yielded ages of 312.8 ± 2.8 Ma for an andesite porphyry and 312.4 ± 4 Ma for a lamprophyre. All these magmatic pulses, evidenced in the Radzimowice deposit, are considered to be the oldest post-orogenic sub-volcanic magmatism cutting the basement of the intramontane basins in the Sudetes, on the NE margin of the Bohemian Massif. A rhyolite porphyry in the famous 'Organy' exposure at Wielisław Złotoryjski (WZ) on the SE margin of the North-Sudetic Basin is younger, 297.5 ± 2.8 Ma. Vein-type auriferous ore mineralization, hosted by Early Palaeozoic graphitic schists in intimate contact with rhyolite porphyry in WZ, is also correlated with this magmatism. The auriferous ore mineralization at Radzimowice and Wielisław Złotoryjski formed at different times, during different magmatic pulses and successive hydrothermal stages, despite several similarities in geologic setting and country- and host-rock compositions. There was a transition from a post-collisional to a within-plate setting over about 20 Ma in Late Carboniferous-Early Permian times, with the older Żeleźniak and Bukowinka sub-volcanic intrusions in the uplifted part of the Kaczawa Metamorphic Complex (ZI) and the younger Wielisław Złotoryjski sub-volcanic intrusion in the metamorphic basement of an intramontane basin.

Ebola or Acute, Febrile, Hemmhorahic, Viral-Like Tuberculosis? | Lawrence Broxmeyer M.D.
RENSE: Your focus has been in bringing awareness to the existing tubercular pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium Africanum currently raging in West Africa [See: http://rense.com/general96/ebooraf.html%5D and their similarities, especially with their pleomorphic L-forms or cell-wall-deficient forms, both physically and sign-and- symptom-wise to the Ebola virus. But How can this 'virus' be a RAGING WILDFIRE of contagion in West Africa and yet it has essentially made it to nowhere else? Not the UK, not Europe, not S America, not the US.
BROXMEYER: Different strains offer different virulence for populations for different immune systems. In the case of the West African Ebola zone, where the outbreak originated, almost half of all TB cases are caused by Mycobacterium africanum—an unusual tuberculosis, exclusive to West Africa. This is africanum's home, where it can build on its ability to infect humans as well as native species such as chimpanzees and African green monkeys. In 1970-71 the CDC estimated that tubercular infection in individuals in contact with these and other non-human primates was 60 to 100 times that of the population at large (Richardson, 1987). Both African monkeys and great apes are susceptible to the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex. But they are not alone. Members of this same complex have been also isolated from fruit bats, which I am told is a delicacy in West Africa.
That tubercular M. africanum can and has already caused TB in the USA, at least in California, is a matter of record. Also there is a body of evidence that M. africanum is of lower virulence than M. tuberculosis, requiring more sustained contact, even among household members—certainly mirrored in the current outbreak. Meanwhile, health officials continue to insist that "casual contact" cannot transmit Ebola—precisely the same claim that they've long made for TB.
RENSE: If long-standing African strains of tuberculosis are involved, then why have they become so virulent now?
BROXMEYER: Failure to read the stitches on the fast ball. Just over 81percent of the Ebola deaths recorded globally have originated from Liberia and Sierra Leone. While Liberian health officials warned as early as 2009 that TB was skyrocketing out of control, a mixed scientific coalition from Sierra Leone and Germany cautioned that Sierra Leone's own tuberculosis level was not only the highest in West Africa but was filled with resistant strains of TB and tuberculous Mycobacterium africanum which had "reached an alarming level…"raising the question of possible consequences" for a future new TB epidemic. This basically went unheeded as the infectious strains simmered.
RENSE: Yet everyone here recovers from what has been labeled Ebola. ZMAPP?
BROXMEYER: ZMapp is manufactured from the tobacco plant and under development as a treatment for Ebola. It has not yet been tested in a clinical trial. Nor is it known whether it is effective to treat the disease — or whether it is safe. It is manufactured by Kentucky BioProcessing, a subsidiary of Reynolds American.
However the idea is not new. In West Africa, extracts of the tobacco plant nicotiana tobaccum, used as medicinal plant extract, have long been known to be effective and inhibitory in the treatment of tuberculosis. This was written up by Adeleye, Conubogu and Ayolabi, in the African journal of Biotichnology in 2008.
RENSE: Again, everyone here 'recovers'… Something else?
BROXMEYER: Unfortunately, I'm not privy to these Ebola victims' patient charts. There has been talk of using serum from convalescent patients, which I believe is not enough. Also antibiotics are mentioned, and often used. Antibiotics of course should not work for viral disease, but several of the antibiotics in current and frequent use do have activity against tubercular involvement —the fluoroquinolone antibiotics, azithromycin and the aminoglycosides among them.
RENSE: There are those that feel that Ebola might be being misdiagnosed under other diagnoses…like malaria.
BROXMEYER: In the case of malaria, there are serological and thick and thin smears that must be performed. Diagnostics for typhoid or for that matter Yellow Fever are also quite adequate. But it is in the ability of tests for the viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) such as Ebola and Marburg — to rule out or even consider a possible cross-reaction making tubercular cases Ebola positive — that things become dicey. As an example — while an instruction booklet issued by the US Food and Drug Administration showed impressive results for detecting and thereby being positive for known "Ebola" samples, it sadly failed in its inadequate selection of those pathogens that might be cross-reacting and therefore making for false-positive Ebola tests. The instruction booklet, Version 2.0, which accompanied the new Ebola assay, mentions that no bacterial cross-reactivity was observed in the human DNA or any of the bacteria tested in their Table 51 — the problem being that neither Mycobacterium tuberculosis or its related Mycobacterium africanum appear in that Table 51.
Such diversion is no trivial point. As time went by, it became obvious that attempts were in the pipeline to link the pathogenesis of Ebola and AIDS. Peter Piot, the discoverer of Ebola also worked tirelessly to establish that still another virus was behind AIDS. To this effect, his work on the HTLV-1 virus, which did not cause AIDS, went nowhere. But problems with the HIV/AIDS diagnostic probes would have to be avoided with Ebola — at all costs. For example, in the past, as veterinarian Myron "Max" Essex—the first scientist to propose human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing—knew, tuberculosis and its allied mycobacteria gave a false positive for HIV in his tests in almost 70 per cent of cases. Such cross-reactivity between HIV and tuberculosis was so significant that it forced Essex and his protégé, Congo physician Oscar Kashala, to warn that the HIV screening test, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the western blot results "should be interpreted with caution when screening individuals with M. tuberculosis or other mycobacterial species." According to WHO, 1/3 of the world harbors TB. So you get the point.
RENSE: If such African-strains of tuberculosis are actually involved, then why are they not being quickly picked-up in the more advanced diagnostic capacity of countries like our own?
BROXMEYER: First, you are assuming that TB is even being considered and therefore looked for. In my experience, this has simply not been the case. You have patients coming from West Africa and doctors have been told to rule-out Ebola and perhaps malaria.
Secondly, current technology for mycobacterial diagnostics is advanced, but unhappily far from bullet-proof. Mattman found a sharp increase in positive tests for TB when special stains and cultures were used to detect its preferred cell-wall-deficient forms, but these are not being routinely used in most American diagnostic centers. Even the vaunted PCR (The polymerase chain reaction) — designed to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. — falls far short for detecting tubercular disease. And old standbys like the present 5TU [5 Tuberculin Units] tuberculin skin test and chest x-ray often are negative even in the face of full-blown disease.
RENSE: The CDC seems in general to be quite virus oriented. Your views?
BROXMEYER: This is nothing new. There was much the same viral passion there — at that time over "influenza" — when, in 1990, a new multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis outbreak took place in a large Miami municipal hospital. Soon thereafter, similar outbreaks in three New York City hospitals left many sufferers dying within weeks. By 1992, drug-resistant tuberculosis had spread to deadly mini-epidemics in 17 US states, and was reported not by the American press, nor the CDC — but by the international media as out of control. It seems that the first rule of public health officials is not to create panic — something which the mere mention of tuberculosis seems to do. So they shy away from its mere mention.
RENSE: It would seem to me that such conflicts of those who would attribute viruses to illness as opposed to those who would attribute them to ultra-microscopic bacteria or mycobacteria goes back considerably before that.
BROXMEYER: Yes. You have that right. In the words of respected historian Ton van Helvoort, going forward into the 1930s and 1940s, the concept of Laidlaw, Smith and Andrewes's "filterable influenza virus" was subjected to such criticism that its very foundations were threatened. And those threats came from many fronts, but none greater than from Dr. Arthur Kendall, director of Medical Research at Northwestern. Kendall, using his own culture medium and the ultra-powerful Rife microscope  saw bacteria and not viruses in influenza.
RENSE: Vitamin C is mentioned unofficially as an Ebola treatment. Your thoughts?
BROXMEYER: Everything in moderation, including Vitamin C, which is vitally important to our health and immune system. Actually Linus Pauling's interest in Vitamin C grew from the research of biochemist Irwin Stone. Stone, would eventually publish The Healing Factor: "Vitamin C" Against Disease. According to Stone: "The bacteria causing tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) was particularly sensitive to the lethal action of ascorbic acid" — Vitamin C. But just how well Vitamin C, at the proper concentration killed even drug resistant TB had to wait until 2013. In an unexpected discovery, researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine determined that Vitamin C, all by itself, killed both TB and drug resistant TB on culture plates. The finding suggested that Vitamin C, added to existing TB drugs could enhance and possibly shorten TB therapy. The study was published in the online journal Nature Communications.
RENSE: Interesting. Thanks for stopping by. Deeply appreciate it.
Regarding Ebola, we don't have the definitive answer, but we sure have a lot of questions, such as how such a deadly disease can enter America and be rendered suddenly curable and impotent. I don't have the answers but I have a LOT of questions.
EBOLA……….OR ACUTE, EPIDEMIC, FEBRILE, HEMORRHAGIC, VIRAL-LIKE TUBERCULOSIS?
Only a sin of omission. then, would explain why anyone or any group would not want to specifically mention the most commonly occurring cause of infectious death in Africa ― tuberculosis ― whose sky-high rates in West Africa make Ebola look like a dropper-full of water squeezed into the Mississippi.
If by October, 2014, Ebola had laid claim to what some say is 3,000-plus deaths since its February outbreak, certainly this ought to be weighed in the light of the approximately 600,000 Africans killed by TB in the same time-frame. Furthermore, although TB incidence is decreasing globally, incidence rates are increasing in most of West Africa (1) ― ground zero for the current Ebola outburst. Just as curiously, almost half of all TB cases in the West African Ebola zone are caused by an unusual, yet just as deadly member of tubercular family, Mycobacterium africanum ― a strain of tuberculosis exclusive to West Africa, which is fast becoming a microbe of great public ― and now possibly global concern.
Then why did the CDC not mention TB, by name, in their short-list of possibilities that could cause Ebola-like symptoms? If such oversight stopped there it would be unremarkable, but it seems to have been carried over in the very design of the most recent diagnostic tests issued to detect Ebola.
The fact that the mice died did not mean that it was at the hands of a "pathogenic virus". Piot's boss, Stefaan Pattyn, who Piot admitted "could be a bit of a bully", supposedly specialized in the study of mycobacteria ― tuberculosis and leprosy, yet seemed unaware of the hemorrhagic consequences of acute TB, nor had he taken the time to use special stains and cultures to detect its viral cell-wall-deficient forms. Instead Pattyn followed his current passion. He had recently worked in Zaire for six or seven years and exotic viral illnesses were now "right up his alley". So Pattyn's team likewise never really considered a strain of acute miliary TB or its viral cell-wall-deficient forms in his rule-outs for an acute hemorrhagic or epidemic fever ― among them Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium africanum.
Many often underestimate the speed, contagiousness and ferocity of a TB epidemic. Khomenko's 1993 study (5) should have cemented the notion that the explosive contagiousness of just such Ebola and influenza-like viral forms of tuberculosis are exactly the stuff that previous epidemics and pandemics could have been made of. But it didn't.
In the US, the CDC and NIH seemed to feel differently, ignoring the historic possibility. There was much the same viral passion, at that time over "Influenza", when in 1990, a new multi-drug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis outbreak took place in a large Miami municipal hospital. Soon thereafter, similar outbreaks in three New York City hospitals left many sufferers dying within weeks. By 1992, approximately two years later, drug-resistant tuberculosis had spread to deadly mini-epidemics in seventeen US states, and was reported, not by the American, but the international media, as out of control. Viral forms of swine, avian and human TB can be transmitted from one species to another. So can exotic strains of tuberculosis and Mycobacterium africanum, imported into the United States through countries such as Liberia. By 1993 the World Health Organization (WHO) had proclaimed tuberculosis a global health emergency (6). That emergency has never been lifted.


As a trader and investor, it's important to have a trading strategy that helps you identify profitable trades, maximise your profits, and cut your losses when a trade goes against you. Technical analysis has risen strongly in popularity over the last few years and is actively used by traders to spot possible future price trends using a multitude of charting tools and historical data.
Technical analysis and fundamental analysis are the two main schools of thought in the financial markets. Technical analysts look at historical price data to forecast where price trends may move in the future and attempt to speculate on these forecasts. Fundamental analysts, on the other hand, look for a more rigid assessment of the core underlying factors that affect demand for an asset. The key beliefs of technical analysts are that prices moves in trend and history is likely to repeat itself!!
Technical analysts believe that investors collectively repeat the behaviour of the investors that preceded them. To a technician, the emotions in the market may be irrational, but they exist. Because investor behaviour repeats itself so often, technicians believe that recognizable and predictable price patterns will develop on a chart. Recognition of these patterns can allow the technician to select trades that have a higher probability of success. Technical analysis is not limited to charting, but it always considers price trends.
In our adblue TradeMaster you will find a no-nonsense approach to working with the most popular technical indicators. Our easy to use platforms keep you informed of all trade ideas, including FX, Stock Indices and commodities.
Important moments for trading are high points and low points in the prices, that much is clear. Word is also out that these markers can be derived with a certain degree of certainty from the monthly and daily price developments. However, how can one be sure that a high or a low will hold or that the security will break out?
The adblue TradeMaster module levels for resistance and support provide the trader with a powerful tool which not only examines the price levels but also illustrates the likelihood that the price level will hold or the price will break out of a level.
It is very important for the active trader to first define what price levels are interesting for him. But even the selection of specific price markers for resistance and support for the previous price change is often associated with high levels of uncertainty in practice.
When it comes to price activity, a monthly high is not always more important than a daily high or to name a different example, a support derived from an intraday sideways movement is not always the most important price marker for the next minutes or hours.
Only the combination of all the important price levels from various time periods results in a total pattern which is then sensibly weighted and where individual price levels can be derived, and used to mark a sensitive point for future price developments with a high level of probability.
Such a task is almost impossible for the individual trader to master. When you are not simply active on one market but active on several different markets and also want to be able to react immediately to developments, it is impossible to keep an overview of these important points.
Even a complete overview of all important resistance and support levels will not help you all that much. Since the knowledge about the individual prices is not enough to participate as a price can drop and break through every level.
To sensibly calculate risk, it is absolutely necessary to recognize whether or not the resistance or support will hold or be broken through. The resistance/support module with levels has been integrated as an instrument into adblue TradeMaster that helps you recognize the important price markers and which also indicates the probability that relevant resistance and support levels will be broken through or held. An essential tool for precise and risk aware trading.
As in the other modules, you can select the desired currency pair in the upper left menu and the time period .
To present the complex connections between price levels as well as resistance and support, a new and tangible graphic form was developed to be as intuitive as possible. The center has a red horizontal line , which shows the current price.
In the center of the window the current price is displayed numerically. The two lines above the current price indicate the two closest resistance levels.
The two lines above the current price indicate the two closest support levels. The current price is displayed numerically in the middle of the module here as well. Only the resistance and support closest to the current price are displayed, however, dependent of the time period. Thus for example, the "long-term" setting for the next resistance level for the pip interval to the current price might be far larger than the "short-term" setting.
An area in the left is enhanced with colors to display the pip intervals for each resistance and support level at the current price. Resistance in the area is signified with blue and support with red.
In the right half of the window individual price levels for resistance or support are shown as numbers in white circles .
The numbers are used to set alarms. If you want to set an alarm for the next support for example, select the number 2 in the alarm settings.
To the right of the numbers for the alarm settings, you can see two percentage figures for every resistance and support level . These numbers describe the probability of a price breakout or a bounce back from the current price level.
The colors of the arrows are also used to illustrate the likelihood of a breakout from each support level or resistance level or if the price is about to bounce back.
The module, of course, also works with real-time prices. Depending on the selection of time periods (very short term, short term, medium term, or long term), the relevant resistance and support for the time period shall be calculated and the two prices closest to the current price will be displayed.
Another detail supports you in risk aware trading: Should there be a breakout from the resistance or the support price levels, a safety mechanism will kick in. The software will check whether there has been an actual breakout from the price marker or whether it is only testing it and the price will return to the previous level.
Should the safety mechanism determine that a breakout has actually taken place, the support (or resistance) broken through will no longer be displayed but the next price level will then be displayed in the presentation. It means that two resistance levels and two support levels will always be displayed even if the price has broken through one of the levels.
Leonardo Fibonacci is considered one of the greatest mathematicians in Medieval Europe. He is known in particular for the series of numbers he developed to describe growth patterns in the natural world. The calculation of the price level is based on the calculation of prices that years of trading experience have shown to be highly likely as resistance or support for further price trends. The valuations are calculated using the difference between the absolute high and the absolute low for a market within a certain period of time.
Should the spread between the absolute high and low for the selected period be 100 pips, then the ratio figures from the Fibonacci series are: 0.382, 0.5 and 0.618, the Fibonacci Retracements are thus 38.2%, 50% and 61.8% and can be included accordingly in the chart or set as notable price markers. The sample chart illustrates the EUR-USD exchange rate for a day. The Fibonacci Retracements have been included for the spread between the absolute high (1.6037) and the absolute low (1.2328).
Regardless of whether the market is in an upward or downward trend, or is tending sideways, the maximum spread for the time period shall be measured and then used to define the price markers in the lines.
The module is structured like the module for resistance and support. The current price is always in the middle (red horizontal line). Above and below are the real time calculations for the Fiboanacci price markers.
In contrast to the Resistance and Support Module, none of the lines will disappear, if there is price breakout, the values are simply re-calculated and presented in the appropriate lines.
Should a Fibonacci line be above the current price, then it shall be labeled as "Resistance".
Should a Fibonacci line be below the current price, then it shall be labeled as "Support".
The screen shall include both of the Fibonacci lines closest to the current price . Our module can thus display the relevant values for resistance and support . at any price level. An additional feature in adblue TradeMaster is that you are provided with a clear percentage probability for a breakout or a rebound from the displayed price.
Our adblue TradeMaster thus provides you with another proven orientation marker for your trading success. As usual, you can select various time periods for the module and use the alarm function to adapt the instrument to your personal needs and habits.
Pivot, from the French, means turning point. Exchange traders refer to the pivot point as mathematically derived price level from the last completed bar chart, i.e. a pre-determined trading interval, which marks the probable resistance and support for the current bar chart. The calculation for these points is made using the high, low and close values from the previous trading day, where the median has been calculated and corrected for extremes. Two resistance and support levels can be determined for each price bar chart.
The module is structured like the Resistance and Support Module. The current price is always in the middle (red horizontal line).
Depending on whether the market rises or falls, the lines for the pivot point, resistance 1 and 2 as well as support 1 and 2 shall be above or below the current price.
In contrast to the Resistance and Support Module, none of the five lines disappears in a price break out. There will always be a maximum of two lines above the current price and a maximum of two lines below the current price.
The lines for the pivot point shall always be labeled as such. Should a pivot line be above the current price, then it shall be labeled as "Resistance".
Should a pivot line be below the current price, then it shall be labeled as "Support".
This module also contains the function to select the time period as well as the alarm function with which you can adjust the display as you see fit. As in the Support and Resistance Module and in the Fibonacci Modules, adblue TradeMaster will also display the likelihood in percent for price breakouts or rebounds for the individual price levels in real-time.
The pivot point is a median value from the high, low and close from the previous day. The first support is calculated by doubling the median value and subtracting the value of the last high.
The second support is calculated using the difference between the pivot point and the difference (high minus low) of the previous trading day.
The calculation of the resistance is done by doubling the value of the pivot point and subtracting the value of the last low. The second resistance is the product of the sum of the pivot point and the difference (high minus low) from the last trading day.
Should the point be crossed from below, it is considered a buy signal and the price now has room to run until the next resistance. Should this marker also be exceeded, then there is a high likelihood that the price will climb to the second resistance level. A sell signal is created when the pivot point is pierced from above to below.
Then the first and second support levels shall be considered the target price. As with the Fibonacci markers, this knowledge is based on the interpretation of the pivot point from years of experience and the fact that the marker is used by numerous traders as a signal.


An article published by The Sunday Times this week highlights a situation where parents are being 'forced' to pay for private treatment – amounting to around £170 a week, as the NHS refuses to prescribe cannabis-based medication.
The article tells the story of toddler Alfie Brocklebank who lost his speech, took to banging his head against walls and became 'inconsolable' on conventional epilepsy medicines. Alfie's consultant prescribed medication called Epidiolex, containing cannabidiol (CBD), but his local NHS Trust blocked the prescription.
Cannabis contains two elements – cannabidiol (CBD) which has none of the mood-altering properties associated with cannabis, and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which gives people the 'high' feeling. There has been lots of research into the potential of CBD as an epilepsy treatment. Most of this research has involved children with rare and hard to treat forms of epilepsy.
A recent evidence review found that one in eight people taking CBD would have a 50% or greater reduction in seizures. Less than 1 in 150 would become seizure free. One in three people reported side-effects such as drowsiness, diarrhoea, reduced appetite and fatigue.
Epidiolex, a medication containing CBD, is currently going through the licensing process. In the meantime, specialists may prescribe it in rare circumstances, but even if a paediatric neurologist recommends the medication, the decision must be approved by the hospital, and the NHS will need to agree to pay for it.

Armada Records asked us to create a fresh video for their remix of the classic 90's track Turn Around.
Having completed the video for the Reboot this was an opportunity to play around with the blueprint of the original, and to return to some of the concepts that had come up during the development process.
The 2016 remix is full of energy. We tried to match that energy with our video. Using unused footage from the original shoot we created an unusual narrative based on the original but with a few twists.
