News Release 16-Dec-2020
New recipe for antibiotic could prevent deafness
A new method of purifying gentamicin, a widely used antibiotic, reduces the risk that it will cause deafness, according to a Stanford Medicine-led study.
Gentamicin is used in U.S. hospitals to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including infections in newborns and in other susceptible patients, such as those with cystic fibrosis. It's a popular drug in developing countries because it is highly effective and inexpensive. Yet researchers estimate that up to 20% of patients who are treated with it experience some degree of irreversible hearing loss.
Now, researchers have found a relatively inexpensive way to reformulate the drug, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called aminoglycosides, to be safer. Their findings were published Dec. 7 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"When a drug causes hearing loss, it is devastating, and it's especially disturbing when it happens to a young child, as they rely on hearing to acquire speech," said Alan Cheng, MD, a professor of otolaryngology at the Stanford School of Medicine. He shares senior authorship of the study with Anthony Ricci, PhD, also a professor of otolaryngology at Stanford and the Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor II in the School of Medicine. Cheng is the Edward C. and Amy H. Sewall Professor IV in the School of Medicine. Postdoctoral scholar Mary O'Sullivan, PhD, is the lead author.
"We've developed a simple method of reformulating the drug that should be put to use as soon as possible," Ricci said. The researchers will be writing to the Food and Drug Administration to recommend changes to the organization's requirements for how drug companies make gentamicin.
"Currently, the FDA's instructions for how to make aminoglycosides are making people go deaf," Ricci said.
A dangerous recipe
Aminoglycosides have been in use since the 1950s. The drugs don't need to be refrigerated, which keeps the costs of storing them low. Despite new antibiotics, their use remains commonplace as they are cheap and potent.
"These drugs are used because they save a lot of lives," Ricci said. "We've stopped paying attention to their toxic side effects because living with hearing loss is better than dying."
The gentamicin used in hospitals today is a mixture of five different subtypes of the antibiotic grown together in the same mixture. The mixture also includes as much as 10% impurities. Using methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers tried to figure out how to chemically separate each of the subtypes so they could be tested separately. Once the researchers established methods of separating the different parts of the mixture, they tested these various subtypes of gentamicin individually on inner-ear tissues from animals. They identified the least toxic subtype as C2b, and the most toxic as sisomicin. Both C2b and sisomicin showed the same highly effective antimicrobial properties comparable to the mixture as a whole. The researchers also found that by removing impurities from the mixture, toxicity to the ear tissue was reduced.
"What this study shows is that the formulation that is currently in a hospital bottle of gentamicin is not optimized," Ricci said. The ingredients are required by both federal and international law; one of those is sisomicin, the subtype found to be most toxic to the ear tissue.
"If we just use the subtype that's less toxic or change the formulation of this bottle, we can make the drug much less ototoxic," Ricci said, referring to harm to the ear. Given that the subtypes are all approved by the Food and Drug Administration, new formulations don't necessarily need to be retested in humans and could get to patients fast.
The researchers are also working on plans to create a new aminoglycoside that could further reduce the risk of hearing loss, Ricci said. They've discovered that the inner-ear toxicity of the various subtypes highly correlates with the way they bind to the ion channels that open to the inner ear.
"This discovery lays the groundwork for the discovery of safer antibiotic alternatives and future drug development," he said.
Other Stanford co-authors are medical residents Yohan Song, MD, and Adela Perez, MD; chemist and adjunct lecturer Robert Greenhouse, PhD; research assistant Randy Lin; and research scientist Patrick Atkinson, PhD.
Other institutions that contributed to the study were NANOSYN Inc. in Santa Clara, California, Thermo Fisher Scientific in San Jose and the University of Bern in Switzerland.

Some rough edges apart, Boston Cecilia continues its long tradition with Handel and Mozart
Nicholas White conducted Boston Cecilia Friday night at Jordan Hall.
Boston Cecilia has a rich and storied history. Founded in 1876, Boston Cecilia introduced several large-scale choral works to Boston audiences, not least Bach's Mass in B minor and Brahms' German Requiem. Cecilia also gave the Boston premiere of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and Dvořák's Requiem, the latter led by the composer himself. Long a champion of contemporary music, the society sang the choral part in the American premiere of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitzky's direction.
Following World War II, Boston Cecilia continued but strong, fresh direction was provided in 1968, when Donald Teeters, the society's longest serving conductor, took the reins. While continuing Cecilia's tradition of presenting both old and contemporary works, Teeters blazed a new path by reintroducing Boston audiences to music of Bach and Handel on period instruments, making it one of the first organizations in the city to do so.
Friday night's season opening concert at Jordan Hall, which featured works by Handel and Mozart, returned Boston Cecilia to this tradition.
The sixty-member chorus, led and prepared by Nicholas White, sings with a smooth vocal blend and crisp, percussive diction, and the two works heard Friday night showcased the group's broad interpretive powers.
Handel composed Dixit Dominus, which filled the first half of the concert, when he was 22 years old. Scored for soloists, chorus, and strings, the nine-movement piece is a setting of Psalm 110. Though a young man, the composer was already adept at writing powerful choral numbers that would characterize his mature oratorios. Vocal lines whiz by in florid melismas, and declamatory passages sound with religious fervor. "Handel understands effect better than any of us," Mozart wrote. "When he chooses, he strikes a thunderbolt."
Mozart's music is, of course, equally dramatic, and his Davide Penitente, which made up the second half of the concert, is such an example. Completed in 1785, this ten-movement setting of the Psalms of David reuses the Kyrie and Gloria from the composer's unfinished "Great" Mass in C minor, K. 427. Fresh solos for soprano and tenor fill out the piece. Its Italian text was long thought to have been adapted from the bible by Lorenzo Da Ponte, though scholarship has determined that the Neapolitan poet Saverio Mattei made the translation. Mozart lovers will also note that the work abounds in similar operatic lyricism and dark tragedy that the composer would mine in his unfinished Requiem.
In both pieces, Nicholas White drew clear, smooth lines from the chorus. The ensemble is particularly strong in its low voices, and while not exactly weak, the sopranos had trouble executing Handel's tricky counterpoint with the requisite intensity. Elsewhere, though, the ensemble was capable of rich resplendence. "Juravit Dominus" from Dixit and the stark chorus "Se vuoi, puniscimi ma pria, Signore," from Mozart's work sounded with righteous anger and penitence.
The soloists, for the most part, were excellent. Countertenor Daniel Roihl sang with a soft, fruity tone in Handel's aria "Virgam virtutis tuae," his high notes ringing clearly in the hall. Bass Charlie Evett, who sang with a wide vibrato, had trouble pulling off the vibrancy of Handel's trickling line in "Dominus a dextris tuis."
The tenor and soprano soloists fared best. Alexander Nishibun sang with a bright, smooth-toned voice and diction of spring-water clarity in his solo aria from Davide, "A te, fra tanti affanni," taking care to shape his phrases in beautiful arcs. Sarah Yanovitch brought bell-toned resonance and operatic weight to Mozart's "Tra l'oscure ombre funeste," and Clara Rottsolk, filling in last minute for an ailing Emily Noël, sang with dark radiance in Handel's "Tecum principium" and Mozart's "Lungi le cure ingrate."
In Dixit Dominus Handel proves a master of using harmonic suspensions for dramatic effect, and his "De torrente in via bibet," which featured both sopranos, was the musical highlight of the evening. There, the ear-tingling dissonances sung by Yanovitch and Rottsolk sounded with sweet, palpable sorrow. The trio for sopranos and tenor in Davide was a study in elegance. Yanovitch's bright lines complemented the dark, yearning statements sung by Rottsolk and Nishibun.
The orchestra, which consisted of some of the best period instrumentalists in Boston, had a few rough edges in Mozart's Davide, grinding out of tune in one brief moment and the texture suffered from a few tenuous attacks in another. But those moments were rare, and the orchestra sounded with vibrancy and intensity in Handel's Dixit and in the robust sections of Davide. Cellist Guy Fishman, bassist Erik Higgins, and organist Barbara Bruns supplied sturdy continuo support.
Nicholas White will lead Boston Cecilia in Christmas Concerts 8 p.m. December 2 at Church of the Advent and 3 p.m. December 4 at All Saints Parish, Brookline. bostoncecilia.org; 617-232-4540.

In what month of the year is it better to visit Machu Picchu?
In which month is it best to visit Machu Picchu?
Machu Picchu is open to visitors all year round, so you can schedule your dream trip to the Inca wonder anytime of the year. But factors such as weather and prices of services can determine the month in which you want to visit Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu has a special location, located in the jungle's eyebrow, but very close to it are located snow-capped Andean mountain range like the Salcantay or Veronica, these factors make the climate in Machu Picchu is changing. In Machu Picchu there are two marked seasons, the dry season (from April to September) and coincides with the high tourist season, and the rainy season (October to March). The offer of services also varies depending on the season, so if you want to get good services at reduced prices should come during the rainy season.
Below we detail how the climatic conditions and the offer of services in Machu Picchu are developed according to the month.
They are the rainiest months in Machu Picchu and generally in the Cusco region, during most of the days the sky is cloudy, but there are also short periods of clear days, the temperature is relatively pleasant with an average of 14° C. Although the rains can be inconvenient when visiting Machu Picchu, these same rains make Machu Picchu show a spectacular green with colorful flora in all its surroundings, besides the clouds and rain make Machu Picchu become a scenario of fable, almost surrealistic.
One of the main advantages of visiting Machu Picchu in these months is that you can find the vast majority of services at reduced prices, and with many offers in luxury services. So with a moderate budget you can enjoy your stay in Machu Picchu, and if it is the travelers who want to save the most, this is the time to visit the Inca city.
April is one of the most favorable months to visit Machu Picchu, the rains are minimal and the days become more sunny and pleasant. In this month the tourist season begins but it is still possible to find offers in the services.
In the month of May the days are already totally clear, except for occasional rain that usually occurs, the dry season is already felt, with sunny days and cold nights. During this month there is a large number of visitors arriving in the Inca city of Machu Picchu and tourism services rise in price. In May it is possible to see and enjoy many of the activities of the Jubilee celebrations of Cusco.
Without a doubt, June is the month with the most tourist activity, and Machu Picchu is full of tourists from all over the world. The weather in this month is sunny during the day and very cold at night, especially at night. The services are saturated so it is convenient to reserve them before arriving in Machu Picchu. All this is reinforced with the activities that are carried out in the city of Cusco, since in June are celebrated their parties and are realized multiple spectacles like the ceremony of the Inti Raymi.
During these months the winter of the mountains is accentuated, the days are similar to those of June, they are months in which Machu Picchu receives a high traffic of visitors, and the tourist services are very required. The clear days at these dates allow you to see Machu Picchu with splendor, you can take magnificent and clean photographs and maybe some sporadic rainfall, are days in which to visit Machu Picchu is very pleasant and in company of the imposing Inti (Sun).
Between May and August the demand for the Machu Picchu ticket is very high, so if you want to visit Machu Picchu at this time you must book your ticket in advance. If you want to climb the mountain Machu Picchu you must book your ticket more than two months in advance.
During these months the season change is made, the winter cold decreases and the temperature becomes warmer with a very pleasant climate. The high season of tourism begins to fall, as well as the costs of several services. For the experience of many visitors and travelers, these are the best months to visit Machu Picchu, the first rains make the Inca sanctuary begin to turn green and the sun shines on most days. They are auspicious days to enjoy all the beauty of the Inca wonder.
During these months the rains are felt more intensely in Machu Picchu, but it is still possible to enjoy sunny and warm days, tourist services begin to have more offers, so it is months in which you can visit Machu Picchu and stroll without it being saturated with people. Besides spending the holidays at the end of the year in Machu Picchu is a great experience.
Regardless of the month you visit Machu Picchu, the first thing to do is to book your Machu Picchu ticket, and depending on the season you must also book your train ticket in advance.
To purchase your Machu Picchu ticket you need to check availability and book now! If you would like more information about how to make your trip to Machu Picchu, write us at info@boletomachupicchu.com. Our travel consultants will give you all the information you need to know the Incan wonder.

Tags: Cyanide Studio; Julien Desourteaux; Nacon; Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood
Most of the trailers we've seen for Cyanide's upcoming Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood action-RPG have been kind of cringe, including the gameplay trailer from July. The game looks a bit more interesting in the seven minute gameplay video released today by publisher Nacon. Narrated by game director Julien Desourteaux, it offers a good look at the abilities of the protagonist's three forms as he raids various Endron facilities. In human form you can sneak around Splinter Cell-style and even do immersive sim-type stuff with your crossbow, wolf form is for scouting and travelling through vents, and when it's time for a fight you enter werewolf form. The combat system has a focus on stances and special abilities that require building up rage and frenzy. Some of this information is also recounted in a post by Julien at the PlayStation Blog. Here's the video and an excerpt from that:
Unlike a horror movie from the 80s, being a Werewolf isn't a curse. It offers great power, granting the ability to shapeshift into 3 different forms.
The Human or "Homid" Form
This is the main form you will make use of for anything related to social interaction, hacking computers, and stealth kills. You can quietly get the jump on enemies, perform silent takedowns, or pick off an enemy from afar with your crossbow. With some handy upgrades, you can also use the crossbow to disable electrical systems.
The Wolf or "Lupus" Form
As a human, sometimes there are places you just can't get into. It's these times where you'll be grateful for the speed and agility of the wolf. The Wolf form will help you navigate through vents and move rapidly between cover to avoid being detected by the guards. Speed and agility are the name of the game, and it's just as valuable when you're trying to take a stealthy approach.
The Werewolf or "Crinos" Form
This is the form that everyone immediately thinks about when you hear the word "Werewolf". These towering beasts are powerful creatures, capable of devastating acts of carnage. A Crinos is the ultimate combat machine, and if infiltration fails, it's time to go big or go home.
Brutal, fast-paced combat
Werewolves are not known for their patience, and your inner Rage will raise as you silently take down enemies. Sooner or later, you will have to fight your way through.
For our first foray into the action genre, we really wanted to design impactful, brutal fighting systems. Something that would bring these powerful creatures to life. We went through lots of iterations, balancing the different moves and enemies, with a focus on strength, power, and aggression. Every move, every animation needed that "snap" and "crunch" to ensure each strike feels heavy and satisfying.
Rage is at the heart of combat: it builds up as you damage enemies and allows you to perform a range of special moves, from unleashing a big area-of-effect attack to rushing towards an enemy.
The Crinos also has two different combat stances, each suitable for different situations.
In Agile Stance, you can perform fast attacks and move quickly between enemies. This comes especially handy when you need to get closer to ranged enemies, or when cornered.
Heavy Stance sacrifices agility for better strength and resistance, but it's a chance worth taking to quickly dispose of basic foes and break the guard of tougher enemies.
As the fight goes on, your Frenzy meter will also fill up, and once it boils over Cahal can unleash his fury. Frenzy is a double-edged sword: while active, it increases the speed and power of your attacks and allows you to unleash spectacular, dedicated combat moves. But in return, you can't block, heal or use any other special move until the Fury gauge empties.
Earthblood is now available for preorder at the Epic Games Store for $40 with a 10% discount. As somebody on our forums said, it looks janky enough to be promising.

We're Never Gonna Dance Again
Singer George Michael died early Christmas morning at his home in England.
Nearly twenty years ago, Michael was arrested in a Beverly Hills park for a "lewd act." This arrest and the publicity surrounding it forced Michael to publicly come out as gay.
George Michael faced the prejudices at the time and did what he did best: made a pop song. Michael released the song "Outside." The song can be seen as an act of self-deprecation and defiance in response to his arrest. In the lyrics of the song, Michael references his arrest for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer, singing: "And yes I've been bad/Doctor, won't you do with me what you can/You see I think about it all the time/I'd service the community/But I already have, you see!"
In the video, he dresses up like a cop and dances in a restroom. The message is clear: no one gets to shame George Michael for being George Michael.
Bravo and may you rest in peace, George.
George Michael discusses coming out on the Today show here.

Sara Ramirez of Grey's Anatomy Comes Out
Right before National Coming Out Day on October 11, former Grey's Anatomy star Sara Ramirez talked about her bisexuality. She "came out" during a youth conference centering around the LGBT homeless community.
"Because of the intersections that exist in my own life: woman, multi-racial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican and Irish sides, I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth's voices to be heard," Ramirez said at the conference.
A number of organizations have praised the actress, including the True Colors Fund.

Hayden's List Hurdles
By: Scott Tayloe
Like any new venture Hayden's List is facing challenges. Our biggest challenge so far? Getting people to leave reviews. Sure, there are loads of people leaving reviews but the truth is, lots of people who believe in what we're doing and who are vocal, supporting members of the LGBT community say they're very excited to leave a review and then just don't. We wanted to know why so we've asked around and received good feedback. Here are the reasons why people aren't reviewing, including our responses:
Hurdle Number 1:
People don't want to review a company or service provider solely based on LGBT-friendliness.
HL: There are a lot of good service providers out there who aren't just providing good service to LGBT community members but to everyone. Would-be reviewers are finding they don't want to review because they don't want to "limit" the business. We understand this and we appreciate the open-minded attitude. The thing is, there are a lot people in the world who aren't "out" yet or don't plan on being "out" and would like to know where they might be treated fairly and equally regardless of their sexual orientation. Whether openly gay or lesbian, straight, male, female, asexual, trans; whichever way you identify or choose not to identify we are all Hayden's List and this is our entire mission: we want to direct our community to those with open doors.
People don't want to "out" themselves by leaving a review.
HL: You can leave a review anonymously. Hayden's List asks your first name and email address because we must verify the authencity of the review. The information provided remains anonymous and only the review is publicized.
People think it takes a long time to leave a review.
HL: Actually leaving a review takes less than a minute. Some of our best reviews are less than five words.
People don't want to inadvertedly "out" a business owner by leaving a review about how LGBT friendly they are.
HL: One's choice to be publicly "out" or not is a delicate matter that should be handled with respect and discretion. Reviewers should remember that just because a service provider is LGBT-friendly and is noted for being LGBT-friendly does not automatically categorize them as being openly LGBT themselves. As for worrying about "outing" to the larger community, chances are those who aren't supportive of the LGBT movement aren't spending much time looking at who's reviewing and being reviewed on Hayden's List.

An Important Question We Received
We recently received an email inquiry and figured it was beneficial to share with everyone. You know, kind of like in high school when one person raises their hand and asks something, it turns out the whole class was actually wondering the same thing.
We love getting email from you guys, so don't be shy, write away! (And show your love and support by submitting reviews!)
Dear Hayden's List,
I have someone I'd like to review on your site but I'm concerned about "outing" them to the world wide web. They have a really good clientele and as far as I know they are openly "out" but to err on the side of caution I have yet to review them. What do you guys suggest?
Thanks for your feedback,
Concerned Supporter
Dear Concerned Supporter,
That's a very good question and we're glad you asked.
We understand it can be tricky and we certainly don't want to compromise anyone's privacy if they choose to keep their sexual orientation to themselves.
Just know that reviewing a business or a service provider as LGBT-friendly does not mean you are outing anyone's sexual orientation. It just means you are classifying how friendly their attitude was to you as an ally or a member of the LGBT community.
If you are personally uncomfortable reviewing as an ally or a member of the LGBT community, you may choose to remain anonymous when you leave your review.
We hope this answers your question and we hope you leave some reviews!
The Hayden's List Team

It's been four days since National Coming Out Day. Surely there are some stories to tell, y'all!
The Huffington Post has a series of celebrity coming out stories which are fun to sift through, but to be honest, we are more interested in the general population. We want to know your story.
Whether it's one of coming out or staying in, if you feel like sharing, we would love to listen.
So, do tell. Contact us with your story.
P.S. If you need some inspiration about others who have shared their stories, visit this website we love: imfromdriftwood.com

Having represented clients in commercial disputes for more than seventeen years, I am still struck by the frequency in which the following scenario occurs — a small business owner claims that she has been wronged in a transaction, that considerable monies are owed and, most important, that proof of wrongdoing is embodied in a single document. Although the client is angry about the situation, her excitement about having the proverbial "smoking gun" is palpable.
When asked who prepared the document and whether a lawyer was consulted, the client responds, "That wasn't necessary, this was a simple transaction so we prepared the agreement ourselves and, look, it proves that he owes me money." I am then faced with the unenviable task of deflating the client's confidence, informing her that the document does not quite say what she thinks it says, or mean what she thinks it means. On some occasions, a lawyer must also be the bearer of bad news, informing the client that, even though her claim may be legitimate and compensable, the document she believed would prove her case does nothing of the sort and may, in fact, expose her to potential exposure.
The foregoing problem is one that likely would have been avoided had the agreement been prepared by an attorney. It begs questions that should be asked by any prospective or established home business owner — "When should I seek legal advice?" and "What kind of lawyer should I consult?" Speaking with an attorney can be intimidating, and hiring one can become expensive. It is understandable, therefore, that seeking counsel typically is not on the list of important priorities, as creating revenue and meeting expenses is always your primary concern. Many of the problems you face appear to be simple, the kinds that you reasonably believe you can handle yourself. In a world where information is widely available online and without cost, this is understandable. However, even with the ease of access to information, much is unreliable or incomplete. Moreover, there are many questions that non-lawyers simply do not consider when seeking answers on their own.
Although many legal issues are unanticipated, one can prepare for potential problems before they occur. The balance of this article offers a snapshot into the circumstances where it is advisable to seek the assistance of an experienced attorney.
Forming your corporation, partnership, or LLC may appear to be a matter of completing online forms provided by your state's Division of Corporations. Similarly, if you are interested in reserving a particular name for your business, many states provide web-based resources that identify entity names that are currently in use. However, even though finding and completing the correct forms may appear to be uncomplicated, you should seek advice from an attorney before jumping in. Most important at the outset is determining the type of entity you should form. The manner in which you proceed will be based on, among other things, the complexity of the anticipated business, the number of individuals involved, and the financial contribution of each. There are advantages and disadvantages to choosing one type of entity over another. Often, the decision involves a consideration of tax benefits and consequences as well as potential personal liability or exposure. The assistance of competent legal counsel (as well as a good accountant) will go a long way toward ensuring that all filings reflect the business goals of each participant in the venture.
When a home business involves multiple owners and/or contributions of capital, the parties should seek advice geared toward fostering the resolution of potential problems before they occur. An attorney can assist in the formulation of exit strategies at the start of the venture via the memorialization of business "prenuptial" agreements, including buy-sell, buy-back, or buy-out agreements. In planning ahead, the goal is to prevent future legal entanglements or financial issues, regardless of the circumstances surrounding the departure of a partner or shareholder.
Home businesses are often engaged in the buying and/or selling products or services, each of which creates a contractual relationship. For many transactions, particularly if you provide specialized services, it is of utmost importance that you properly document all elements of the agreement to ensure that the parties involved have a complete understanding of their respective rights, obligations, and responsibilities. Seemingly straight-forward transactions carry a degree of risk, even when the parties believe that they have accounted for potential contingencies. Written agreements prepared under an attorney's guidance serve to clearly express each party's intent, while also accounting for matters that the lay business person might not consider. The goal is always to minimize the unexpected and create protections in the event that the relationship breaks down.
Your home business has become successful and you realize that you need help, so you put out word that you are hiring. However, what seems like a simple undertaking must be done in accordance with applicable law. You can undertake the actual interviewing and hiring of employees on your own, but you must be keenly aware of the questions you are permitted to ask as well as the kinds of inquiries that can subject your company to liability. An attorney's advice on these matters can provide you with an understanding of all of the "dos and don'ts" in hiring, including relevant anti-discrimination statutes.
Any business that takes on employees is also subject to state and federal labor, employment, and tax laws. Issues can arise regarding whether a worker should be categorized as an employee or as an independent contractor, and whether you are required to provide that person with overtime compensation or benefits. At some point, you may also be faced with internal claims of improper treatment, including, but not limited to, sexual harassment or discrimination. And, if your business has processes, procedures, intellectual property, or a roster of clients that you want to protect, it might make sense to have an attorney prepare an employment contract that contains, among other things, confidentiality agreements and nonsolicitation agreements. Needless to say, you must retain counsel in the event you are forced to prosecute or defend any legal action nvolving a current or former employee.
Intellectual property is original work created by or for you or your business. These assets include ideas, inventions, writings, artwork, and software as well as brand names, logos, designs, and new products or processes intended for sale into the marketplace. Copyright, trademark, and patent laws offer protection to the creators or owners of intellectual property. Where this is important to your business, you should retain a specialist to secure all available rights (or to ensure that you are not violating the intellectual property rights of another). Even the look and content of your web site should be scrutinized to ensure that it does not violate a copyright or trademark held by another.
Lawyers do not come in one size. Personalities and areas of concentration differ, as do the capabilities of law firms of all sizes. When starting out, the people whom you know and trust are the best sources for a recommendation. Also helpful are local bar associations and lawyer referral services. It is advisable to meet with multiple attorneys and to review their web sites and written materials to ascertain whether their capabilities fit your needs. Be clear about your financial situation, and make sure that you understand any lawyer's fee structure (e.g., hourly rate, contingency, etc.). An attorney and client must always be on the same page, and this should be reflected in the letter of engagement. Also, it is advisable to choose a professional who possesses the humility to refer you to another lawyer when your problem falls outside her practice area. Finally, and perhaps most important, select someone with whom you feel comfortable, but who is also willing to provide honest and candid counsel.
Gary M. Heller, senior counsel at the law firm Hodgson Russ, represents clients in a broad range of commercial matters, with an emphasis on contract and business disputes, employment disputes, and litigation. He can be reached at gheller@hodgsonruss.com or gary_heller@hotmail.com.

GAD FREDERICK CLEMENT
(Danish, 1867-1933)
THE ARTIST'S WIFE AND CHILDREN
49¼ x 55 Inches

By Descent Through the Family of the Artist
A substantial, early 20th-century, painting of the artist's wife, Martha Caroline 'Tupsy' Clement (1871-1959), working at her easel in the presence of their daughters, Bitten (b.1912) and Lillemor (b.1909). Gad Frederick Clement painted this idyllic family scene in the garden of their summer house by Vesterby beach on the island of Skagen, circa 1920. He and Tupsy took their summers there every year from 1908 until 1920, when they began to summer in Civita dAntino, Italy.
In this large and masterful work, perhaps the crowning achievement of his career, Clement accomplishes a remarkable evocation of the bonds of maternity and childhood. While combining the ideal and the lyrical, his vision also reaches for, and achieves, a deeply satisfying emotional complexity. He has also allowed the scintillating, decorative surface to become a vehicle for the profound psychological penetration with which he has imbued his subjects.
Gad Frederik Clement, known as G. F. Clement (Danish, 1867-1933), first studied at Copenhagen's Technical School (1883–85) before attending the Academie des Beaux Arts in Paris (1885-1888). Returning to Denmark in 1888, he continued his studies under Laurits Tuxen and Frans Schwartz and, finally, under Kristian Zahrtmann.
Clement returned to France in 1890 with his friend, the Modernist painter, Mogens Ballin. In 1890, he spent time with Paul Gauguin in Brittany and began to adopt the Symbolist style that was evident in the works he exhibited at Copenhagen's 1893 Charlottenborg Exhibition. However, Clement's journeys to Italy from 1890 simultaneously led him to the works of the early Italian masters including Masaccio and Lorenzo di Credi. The clarity and color of these early Renaissance works can increasingly be seen in Clement's exhibited paintings of 1894-8. After the turn of the century, he gradually evolved a more relaxed and naturalistic style, combining both realism and Impressionism, of which the present work is such an outstanding example.
Over the course of a long and successful career, Gad Clement exhibited internationally with success, including at the Charlottenborg Exhibition, beginning in 1890, and the Salon des Artistes Français, from 1893. Clement was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards including an honorable mention at the Paris Universal Exposition (1900) and the Gold Medal of the Munich Academy (1909).

Sure, we've lost some Tupperware along the way. Some left at potluck dinners at the neighbors, one container mistakenly left at the office during Refrigerator Cleanout Day. Anytime you lose some Tupperware is always a sad day. Worse when it was preventable.
But keeping Tupperware forever is not a good idea. And ACCORDING TO THE AARP, you need to THROW YOUR TUPPERWARE AWAY.
Not crazy – just crazy smart.
'Cause you know that evil BPA chemical plastic that's all the rage these days? Yeah – it's in Tupperware too, at least in the old Tupperware made before 2010…. like the collection in our pantry right now.
If your Tupperware… or any plastic food container you're currently using… has a RECYCLE CODE of 3 or 7, then that's more likely to contain BPA and be ultimately bad for you.
So toss that Tupperware out and replace it with new Tupperware, glass containers, or some other newly manufactured plastic container that isn't as good as Tupperware. Thank us later for helping you out.

Hosts were very nice and helpful. We really felt like we were at home. Breakfast was wonderful and the house is just a short walk from the center.
"Highly recommended!"
By Mr Robert M, Tong, UK
Owners Tommy and Jean are two of the most helpful and nicest people you could ever meet. Welcoming you was like long lost friends that hadn't seen each other in ages. The property was tastefully decorated throughout. I would highly recommend this B&B to any traveller.
"A Little Gem"
By Mr Mike W, Wick, UK
Occasionally my wife and I have to spend an overnight in Inverness and, now, we have no found our first choice. Wonderful warm hospitality with excellent food and all at a very reasonable price. Staying with Jean & Tommy is like visiting friends. We'll be back . . again and again.
"Flying visit"
By Mrs Margery M, Altrincham, UK
My partner and I stayed for one night as we were visiting family. I would recommend this B/B. Absolutely first class superb double room. Breakfast first class .Would certainly recommend to anyone thinking of booking excellent value for money. Jean and Tommy very friendly hosts.
"Excellent B&B"
By Ms Nuria O, Valencia, Spain
The stay at this B&B was very nice. The room was comfortable, very clean, with amenities. Scottish breakfast was really good, and the owners also suggested some places for dinner and road routes. I definitely recommend it
"Culcabuck House Review"
By Rev Alan M, Chislehurst, UK
The welcome was warm and the room just what we needed. The breakfasts were excellent and the lounge was comfortable. The bathroom - ensuite - was also splendid and the decor attractive. We felt verb at home. The only suggestion I would make would be to introduce a wi-fi booster into the room we were in, the one at the side of the house, the one we believe was once a garage. We had to go to the lounge in the main house for good reception.
"Short stay at Culcabock House"
By Mr Ian A, Cupar, UK
We could only stay for 2 nights but we were well looked after by Tommy and Jean. Great breakfast ! Culcabock House is spotlessly clean and we will see if we can book in there again if we are in Inverness. Thanks again from Ena and Ian.
"Lovely B&B with friendly owners"
By Ms S, ALKMAAR, Netherlands
We stayed for only one night at Culcabock House, but really liked it. The possibility of being able to use the lounge is something we really appreciate. The room was spacious, was was the en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was tasty, and the owners really helpful and relaxed.
"Lovely stay"
By Miss Alex P, Leeds, UK
Stayed here in June 2014, as I needed to stay close to the hospital overnight on short notice. Was given an upgraded room adjacent to the main property and made to feel very welcome and at home. The room was very well furnished with a television and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Room and en suite were also spotless, as was the living room in the main house, where breakfast was served. The owners were lovely, friendly people and were accommodating of my needs. I would strongly recommend this establishment and will almost certainly return if I make another trip to Inverness.
"Short break"
By Mr Michael S, Cardross, UK
Myself and and fiancée stayed at the B & B for three nights and had a wonderful stay. Warm welcome and really enjoyed our stay throughout. Standards kept to a high level for cleanliness, service and both Tommy and Jean would help in any way they could. Only a 10 minute walk from town so easy access to shops and bar's. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a short break or even a longer stay.
By Mr Paul O, kilmarnock, UK
Jean and Tommy really went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I arrived later than expected and they did not mind at all. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a delight. I will definitely stay again, and again. In all my stay was very pleasant.
"Culcabock House review"
By Mr Albert M, Dundee, UK
My wife and I stayed for the night of 23 August 2013. I have absolutely no complaints about any aspect of our stay. Don't be put off by the lack of any tourist board rating... it's 4 star accommodation in my book. Tom & Jean were excellent hosts... Tom even gave me a lift to my car the next morning as it was left overnight at a local hotel. Spotlessly clean rooms, fantastic shower and a great breakfast... all for £60!
"Tres bien"
By Mr Yves P, SAINT JEAN DE MOIRANS, France
Nous avons passé une seule nuit dans ce b&b, nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux, Jean et Tommy nous ont donné beaucoup de précieux conseils sur Inverness et sur les alentours. Ce couple est très sympathique, nous conseillons vraiment cet endroit. Le petit déjeuner est excellent. Le centre ville est à une quinzaine de mn à pied.

"All you'll ever need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!!"
By Mrs Margaret And William M, PORTREE ISLE of SKYE, UK
You will be delighted you chose CULCABOCK B&B in Inverness for your stay. Cosy, comfortable and the breakfasts were so much appreciated. We had to be near Raigmore Hospital, so were so pleased to have been treated more or less like family and yet, given all the privacy we could want.
"Very good service with great advice on all the local..."
By N/a
Very good service with great advice on all the local restaurants and tourist attractions. Very friendly hosts without being intrusive. The room was exceptionally clean and cosy. Only a pleasant 12 minute walk to City Centre and 10 minute drive to Culloden Battlefield. Local Pub with very reasonably priced meals 300 yards from B&B.
"Nice family room with large ensuite with a bath which was..."
Nice family room with large ensuite with a bath which was perfect for our 2 year old son. Comfortable lounge area and good breakfast. We stayed there whilst our son was in hospital and the owners were very helpful. Would definately stay there again.

FBI shines light on now shut down "human chop shop" in Phoenix
By: Nicole Valdes
The FBI has released new documents describing new details in the case of what is described as a "human chop shop" in Phoenix.
PHOENIX — Several years have passed since Biological Resource Center shut its doors, but new court documents detail the hidden horrors investigators found inside.
Former FBI Assistant Special Agent Mark Cwynar's testimony says he observed buckets of heads, arms and legs inside the building off 24th street and University Drive.
Cwynar also said he saw a cooler filled with male genitalia, body parts piled on top of each other with no apparent identification to indicate what bodies they came from, and even a torso "with the head removed and replaced with a similar head sewn together in a Frankenstein manner."
The Federal Bureau of Investigations raided the Phoenix based body-donor facility in 2014, after allegations that the company was selling parts of those donated bodies for profit.

At least eight families say they donated the bodies of their loved ones to the facility for medical research, but are now suing the company and its owner, Stephen Gore, for mishandling their corpses, and failing to meet the promises made in their consent forms.
Gore pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to probation.
Gore will appear in court in October to face several Arizona families who've filed civil suits against him and BRC.

Why Did The NJ Sports Betting Regulator Just Fine DraftKings?
DraftKings is getting an invoice in penalty from the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) over self-exclusion failings.
The sportsbook has been ordered to pay a $10,000 civil penalty for sending "promotional mailings" to 11 self-excluded individuals, the DGE announced Wednesday.
That's in violation of New Jersey sports betting regulations, specifically N.J.A.C. 13:69G-2.4(b)1.
The order was dated March 18, although only made public this week.
What did DraftKings say?
DraftKings acknowledged the error in a statement.
The operator's SVP of regulatory operations Tim Dent said:
"Nothing is more important than providing a safe experience for our customers. We remain committed to operating an industry-leading approach to customer protections."
Previous issues in NJ sports betting
This is not the first time DraftKings suffered self-exclusion failings in NJ sports betting. In 2019, the DGE gave DraftKings a $2,000 civil penalty for sending promotional emails and direct marketing to self-excluded customers.
The same year, DraftKings paid another $5,000 fine. On this occasion, 54 customers who requested a cooling off period were able to place bets. DraftKings said a software glitch accidentally set the 'cooling off' period to zero days.
More recently, the company paid a $5,000 fine in Iowa for a similar issue, as well as a $3,000 fine in Indiana.
Self-exclusion snafus elsewhere
Accidentally marketing to self-excluded customers is an occasional failing in online gambling. It has warranted a much larger fine in other regulated jurisdictions around the world, particularly for repeat offenders
In 2018, for example, the UK Gambling Commission fined an operator $900,000 for sending emails to self-excluded customers. The commission also suspended licenses for firms who failed to put a nationwide self-exclusion program in place.
