Palliative care centres say no to medically assisted death
The director of the West Island Palliative Care Residence says patients seeking assistance with dying will have to go elsewhere.
West Island Palliative Care Residence won't obey Quebec's 'dying with dignity' law

The director of a palliative care residence in Montreal says the facility won't offer medical aid in dying, despite Quebec's law. (Reuters)
"We are absolutely one of the 29 [palliative care programs in Quebec] that are opting out of providing this service," says the residence's executive director, Theresa Dellar.
Quebec MDs to get euthanasia guide to prepare for legalized assisted death
Will the end-of-life-care bill turn Quebec into a euthanasia tourist destination?
Supreme Court's assisted-death reversal welcomed by Quebec government
"The basic philosophy of palliative care is we do nothing to hasten death, and obviously euthanasia does hasten death. Our philosophy to provide comfort, care and dignity at the end of life and to allow for the natural process of death to take place," she said.
Dellar said patients at the palliative care residence who request medically assisted death will be transferred out to another facility where their wishes can be carried out, with no judgment, she told CBC Daybreak host Mike Finnerty on Wednesday.
However, she said, there needs to be a stronger case made for palliative care in Quebec.
"When people's symptoms [and pain] are managed, and they're allowed to die in a dignified manner, they actually live quite well," Dellar said.
She said only a fraction of Quebecers have access to palliative care, but Quebec's new law on allowing for medical help in dying makes that option available to 100 per cent of Quebecers.
"Right now only 16 per cent of Canadians have access to palliative care, so how can they make that choice?" she said.
Euthanasia guide
On Tuesday, the Collège des médecins du Québec said it was preparing a step-by-step guide on how doctors should approach people asking for help in dying.
Dr. Yves Robert said the regulatory body has developed a guide that shows doctors how to end a patient's life with sequential injections of three medications: a sedative such as a benzodiazepine to relieve anxiety, a barbiturate or similar drug to induce a coma, and finally a neuromuscular block, which stops the heart and respiration.
The step-by-step instructions also tell doctors what dosages of the medications to use, where to inject the drugs and what to do should complications such as vomiting or an allergic reaction occur.
Robert said euthanasia kits will be prepared by pharmacists based on the physician's prescription. Each kit will contain enough drugs and injection equipment for two euthanasia procedures, in the event a backup set is needed. Doctors must return any unused medication to the pharmacy.

Melodic Rendezvous is a contender for top honours once more, having returned to form with a comfortable success in Haydock's Champion Hurdle Trial. While connections were initially reticent about committing him to the real thing at the Cheltenham Festival in March, bookmakers slashed his odds to around 20-1 from 40s after he brushed aside the favourite, Ptit Zig.
"We really needed that," said the winning trainer, Jeremy Scott, who reported the horse had a torn muscle when flopping in the Fighting Fifth . "We've had a very anxious six weeks and it's lovely he's back to somewhere where we thought we should be. We actually thought he wanted quite good ground, but he's proved he loves soft ground and it's an edge he has over a lot of other horses. The Champion Hurdle looks competitive. Whether we are good enough to trouble the leading contenders I don't know, but it's an option."
Melodic Rendezvous got his season back on track with a game success in the stanjames.com Champion Hurdle Trial at Haydock Park.
Jeremy Scott's stable star was found to have torn a muscle after finishing fifth in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and returned to his best by capturing the scalp of the smart Ptit Zig.
Act Of Kalanisi took them along until unshipping Tony McCoy at the fourth-last, leaving Ptit Zig in front. Daryl Jacob was never totally happy on the even-money favourite and was collared at the final flight by Melodic Rendezvous (7-4), who pulled four and a half lengths clear on the run-in.

What's better than a great big ball of yarn, and a trip to the big city?! Making a set to wear there – the City Lights Hat and Mitts Set! Both free patterns, right here on Moogly!
I'm heading to New York for a fun/business trip next month, so I wanted to make a new crochet hat and matching mitts – and when I saw Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundles in the City Lights colorway, it was practically fate! But you don't have to travel to New York for this yarn – you can get it at over 800 Michaels stores, Michaels.com, and Lion Brand.com!
With the Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Bonus Bundle, you get enough yarn to make this hat and mitts set with just one ball – or you can use two balls of the standard size! Either way, this super bulky set will work up super fast. The hat has some fun loops to add texture and keep it interesting, while the mitts are quick, easy, and cozy!
Hold all ch-10 loops to the front and work tr sts behind them.
If desired, substitute a Chainless Starting Double Crochet for the "ch 3 (counts as first dc)" when indicated.
Rnd 12: Ch 2 and dc in next st (counts as first dc2tog), dc2tog around; join and break yarn leaving a long tail. Use the tail to gather the crown closed (see linked tutorial above). (8 sts) Add pom pom if desired.
Rnd 13: Ch 2 and dc in next st (counts as first dc2tog), dc2tog around; join and break yarn leaving a long tail. Use the tail to gather the crown closed (see linked tutorial above). (10 sts) Add pom pom if desired.
I just love the colors of the City Lights Set – such a fun colorway! And I also love that it took just one Bonus Bundle to make the entire set!
Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to find today! My kids walked to the store by themselves and spent their own money to buy me some yarn for Christmas❤. I needed a special pattern for this special yarn! You never disappoint!
♥ How wonderful! What great kids – happy new year Steph (and family)!
Hi! I'm working up this pattern right now. I have a question about rnd 4 on the small hat size. Can I post my question here??
Hi Selina! Please do! 🙂 I'd be happy to try to help!
I'm just not sure if I'm going in to the right stitch for the dc after the tr in the row below.
You would skip the stitch behind the tr and go to the next st for the dc – does that make sense?
I think I got it! I put a faux fur pom on it and have gotten so many compliments. Thank you for this pattern and yarn suggestion!
😀 I'm so glad to hear it, thank you Selina!

When you get called to something, You must GO!
I received my four year degree in Anthropology from the College of William and Mary and had spent an entire semester studying Incan culture, but that was almost two decades ago, and I had never before entertained the idea of exploring Peru.
When I met a woman at a fancy networking event in Santa Monica, California and she told me she guided sacred journeys to the Andes I knew I was going with her.
Two months later she greeted my friend and I at the airport in Lima Peru in a white gown with feathers in her hair, and whisked us off to a cafe to have coco tea before getting on the next plane to Cusco where we would be based during our week long adventure exploring the Inca ruins and participating in ancient traditional ceremonies.
Our residence in Cusco was down a tiny cobblestone and dirt one lane road. When we walked through the gate at the entrance, and it opened up to this stunning interior courtyard, I was taken aback by the juxtaposition of beauty and poverty.
One evening in the manicured courtyard of our residence, the moon was full in the sky, and there were lit candles hanging in the trees all around us.
Behind us, the statue of Cristo Blanco was lit up on the mountain top.
I had no idea such beauty existed on earth. The people, the mountains, the food... I hadn't known what to expect from this journey, but the spirit of this place was transforming me from the inside out.
I felt at peace with life, my world, who I was, who I wasn't. I was just being.
We took the scenic train to visit the Lost City of the Incas and as we arrived early in the morning at Machu Picchu the clouds and morning mist obscured our vision.
We hiked to the Sun Gate and sat in meditation with eyes closed until the sun warmed us as the morning clouds dispersed. As I opened my eyes I could not believe the magnificence of the sight before me. The ancient city sat between the two mountains Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu, with extraordinary views of the Urubamba River and valleys below.
The terraced hillsides with the clouds and mountains behind them looked to me like a fantastical place from the future, not a 500 year old ancient and abandoned city.
Water poured from the Incan water temple as if its people had disappeared only moments before, in an instant, like the clouds dispersing with the sunshine.
Though it would take me many years to unpack all that occurred during my first visit to Peru, it was undeniable that I had irrevocably changed at depth and my life would never be the same again.
The message and vision I received on that journey have been the guiding force for creating the life I now live. I understand that anything is possible once we find our own unique way of connecting with our divine source. And once you uncover the connection to your heart and engage the creative life force within you the transformation you experience becomes visible, the internal shift creates the external visible effects.
Creativity is the key to unlock the Divine. Self expression is the vehicle.
This bride appeared to me on the streets of Cusco after completing a ceremony where I released a past love and sent a prayer out to the Universe for partnership. As we were walking home from the Ceremony we found a beautiful bouquet of flowers on the road. This is when I began to interpret the signs that appear to us when our prayers have been heard and when the dialogue with the Universe began to flow to me and through me.
"Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.
For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself.
Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge.
"Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality.
No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him.
By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized.
So often, people feel like "there's got to be more to life..."
You need to know that your life purpose exists and who you are serves a greater purpose in this world.
How do I know about this?
...from my unique challenges in life, beginning with my 30 year battle with depression, to when I almost died in an accident and was permanently injured, to when I was diagnosed with a debilitating auto-immune disease, and risked every thing I had ever created in order to recover my health and ultimately my happiness.
I learned teachable techniques that helped me to grow a meaningful business which serves people around the world, and live a life filled with love, purpose, adventure, and miracles.
The same techniques I've used to create a life worth living, I have taught to many people who have then become fulfilled in life, love, and career, and I'd love to teach you how to start finding and restoring your life purpose too. I can promise that you will never look at life the same way again.
Whether you are considering making a life transition and don't know where to begin, or stuck in the same self-defeating patterns year after year, energy medicine offers unparalleled results in creating lasting transformation.

Bobby Moore: 20 Years Since West Ham And England Legend's Death (PICTURES)
Samuel Luckhurst— The Huffington Post UK
In an era of footballers so spoilt and detached that one England international allegedly threw a £10,000 watch out of a taxi just because he could, the aura of Bobby Moore continues to grow.
Indisputably England's greatest ever captain, unlike the modern underachievers who continue to wear the Three Lions, few had a bad word to say about Moore.
Moore leads out West Ham
As classy off the pitch as he was on it (Pelé says he is the greatest defender he had ever played against), he played every minute of every one of his 108 international caps, clocking up 9,780 minutes in an England shirt.
Barking-born Robert Frederick Chelsea Moore made his West Ham United debut in September 1958 aged 17, against a Manchester United team depleted after the Munich air disaster seven months previously. Handed the number six shirt in Malcolm Allison's absence (due to Tuberculosis), Moore never looked back and Allison never played for the Hammers again.
Moore made his England debut on the eve of the 1962 World Cup in Chile and captained his country on only his 12th appearance as a 22-year-old later that year, after Johnny Haynes' retirement and injury to Jimmy Armfield.
The mid-60s were a glorious spell for the sandy-haired centre-back. An FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup winner with West Ham in 1964 and 1965, they were the precursors for 1966 and all that as England lofted the Jules Rimet trophy on home soil in the eighth World Cup.
A hero rises in '66
Aside from the image of Moore being held aloft by his jubilant teammates, other glorious memories include his nonchalantly expert assists for Geoff Hurst in the final,as well as the sight of him wiping the dirt from his hands to shake the Queen's hand prior to receiving the golden trinket. The latter gesture might be regarded as pretentious in this more cynical age, but with Moore it was genuine courtesy.
Build up to Brazil 1970 included the he Bogotá bracelet incident, but the tournament boasted one of sport's greatest pictures of him and Pelé. Contrast is usually pivotal to a great picture but it plays a small role in the duo's embrace as two men from different cultures, and who speak different languages, communicate like lifelong friends after sweating pounds to beat each other in unforgivable heat.
Lows followed the highs with Moore, whose England career ended in 1973 a year earlier than his coach had anticipated. His final competitive match for the Three Lions ended in a 2-0 defeat to Poland and he was dropped for the return match. Moore allegedly asked Alf Ramsey if he was no longer required at international level after his demotion.
"Of course not. I need you as my captain at the World Cup next year," Ramsey replied. A Moore-less England failed to beat Poland and they would not be travelling to West Germany the net year. Both Moore and Ramsey's final England games came against Italy on a miserable November night later that year as Fabio Capello scored the only goal for the Azzurri.
Sixteen years after his West Ham debut Moore moved on to Second Division Fulham for £25,000. A year later he lined up against his former club in the 1975 FA Cup final in a bittersweet occasion as Fulham lost 2-0 thanks to an Alan Taylor double.
Having rubbed shoulders with George Best and Rodney Marsh at Craven Cottage, he followed the mavericks across the pond to promote US soccer before doing likewise in Denmark with Herning Fremad, retiring after 20 years playing football in 1978.
An unsuccessful managerial career preceded the obvious transition into punditry, but in April 1991 he underwent an emergency operation for suspected colon cancer. On 14 February 1993, he publicly announced he was suffering from bowel and liver cancer; which had spread by this stage.
Three days later, he commentated on England against San Marino at Wembley in what was to be his final public appearance. On 24 February, at 6.36 am, he died at the age of 51.
Outside Wembley and outside Upton Park, his legacy is remembered with two impressive and deserving statues that are a reminder that there was once a time when parents could look to footballers as actual role models.

My Love for Paris: You know you're on a Parisian metro when..
1. You forget that other colours actually exist in the colour spectrum besides varying shades of black, black and black. Or maybe on a wild day, a dash of grey.
2. You are standing so close to your fellow commuter that you can feel their breath, and it feels strangely ... intimate/creepy depending on how attractive you find them.
3. You have 3G! Yay! Or E! Having an underground transport system that still gives you internet access now and then is great (especially when you are stuck and need to tell someone you are not standing them up).
c) someone with just a, natural scent.
You can also distinguish the respective different combinations and permutations between the three, with or without cologne.
5. Your ears prick up and you put your book/newspaper/mobile phone to the side when you recognise someone speaking in English. You then continue to discreetly eavesdrop into their entire conversation, sometimes resulting in you missing your stop. Damnit.
6. You wince when the last minute commuter decides to take a risk and jump onto the carriage after the warning bell has sounded and then proceeds to get stuck in the closing doors and has to be pried away in order for the train to start moving again.
7. However, you feel like, REALLY good about yourself when you take that exact same risk and make it in time to jump on the carriage at the very last minute after the warning bell has sounded! YEAH!
(Unless you didn't make it and had to be embarrassingly pried away from the jammed doors by a fellow commuter).
8. You know what's going to happen when a man carrying an accordion gets onto the carriage. Yay! Old French accordion music time! You then question if that busker was actually French after hearing their accent when they come around asking for tips.
9. You also know what's going to happen when a person gets onto the carriage and apologises for disturbing your journey, presenting their story and how they arrived at their situation before asking for a little "piece". They finish with a gracious thank you for all your time ladies and gentlemen, wishing you a good journey home, a good day and a good continuation. You feel that they might want to consider shortening their discours as half of the carriage has already gotten off mid way through their elaborate speech.
10. You aren't phased when you see someone on the metro with a dog. Or a cat. Or even a grown man, carrying a cat, in his arms. On the metro.
11. You think about what it would be like to drive home (in your imaginary car) instead of having to catch the metro, but then you do a double take when you see the ridiculously gridlocked traffic jam through the windows of the metro and quickly change your mind.
12. You look at that pole in the middle of the carriage that everyone puts their hands on to hold onto and wonder how moist and sweaty and gross it is. You then close you eyes when all the seats and 'leaning against something' positions on the metro are taken and you too end up having no choice but to hold on to that very communal pole.
13. Unless, it's peak hour.
You realise that you don't need to hold onto that communal pole because you are packed into the carriage like a sardine and someone's backpack has locked you into place. You physically cannot lose your balance and fall over because, there is literally no room to fall over.
14. You start to recognise which busker/beggar/gypsy/homeless person lives/works at which part of each metro station. You then become slightly worried when they aren't in their usual spot one day.
15. You notice that not very many women wear ballet flats/thongs/comfortable shoes with their work clothes on the metro in order to change into heels when they approach work. You feel weird when you do it yourself but justify it with, well in London they do this! You then quickly change your mind and never do it again.
(You also notice that in addition to not changing their footwear, hardly anyone seems to eat or apply their make up on the metro).
b) you know that sooner or later you're going to have to give up your seat for someone else and stand up again.
17. You feel like a lab mouse rushing around the passages of the metro station and swear that someone up there has aligned the signs in a roundabout way on purpose so that they can look down and watch you take inefficient windy back tracking paths that take twice as long to get to your desired platform.
18. You then arrive at your station after 1 minute and realise it would have been quicker to just walk those 500 metres from where you started in the first place, instead of following all those signs like a lab mouse to get to your platform (I'm talking to you Châtelet Les Halles).
19. You might miss out on an announcement over the loudspeaker but can guess fairly accurately that you aren't going anywhere for a while as soon as your fellow commuters start sighing loudly and swearing in French.
Hey, there is also another point: the metro is often or always delayed and you know that's pretty normal!
You don't need to really guess the reasons because there are contained into those three ones: traveller sickness due to crowded place, pranker that has ring the alarm, someone is blocking the doors!
True true!! You're definitely a well metro-ed Parisian ;) and seriously WHY would you ring that alarm as a joke, why, WHY! I've never actually seen it but I could imagine the death stares you would receive.

When you are pregnant, the most asked question is: Girl or Boy?
When you have the baby, the most asked question is: What's her name?
When the baby is 6 months old, the most asked question is: How many teeth does she have?
When the baby is 1 year old, the most asked question is: Can she walk yet?
When the baby almost turns 2, the most asked question is: And, baby number 2?
The first question in the row that really needs some thinking.
This little bumblebee is almost turning 2 already, and although for the outside world after the gender, the name, the teeth and the walking, the interest decreases and questions about new babies are being raised, for me every new day with her is a day of new discoveries and growing (both me & her), a thing that I will not easily take for granted.
PS: She had surgery for her ears today, ventilation tubes were inserted in her ears and the fluids in her ear that caused dulled hearing were removed. This was such a small operation, and we got to go into the surgery room with her until she slept, and it was already so difficult to leave her there, so I can only imagine what it is when your child is actually sick and undergoing major surgery. Let's hope this will never happen.

President Donald Trump boldly proclaimed that he was on the ballot Tuesday, even if his name didn't show up in any voting booths this year. And his effort to make the midterms a referendum on his presidency produced favorable results, although a number of Republicans he endorsed were in safe races.

LOS ANGELES — Democratic Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom won the California governorship Tuesday, thumping Donald Trump-endorsed GOP businessman John H. Cox and promising to lead an administration that will "roll the credits on the politics of chaos and the politics of cruelty.''
"The future belongs to California,'' Newsom told a crowd of cheering supporters, elected officials and celebrities in Los Angeles, taking a defiant posture toward President Trump's politics and governing style. "Tonight America's biggest state is making the biggest statement in America. ... Now is the time for leaders to lead.''

House Dems ready to clash with Trump
Pelosi is poised to return to the speaker's chair and will lead an emboldened majority eager to take on the president.
By JOHN BRESNAHAN and RACHAEL BADE
House Democrats were romping to victory in Tuesday's midterm elections, in a stinging defeat for President Donald Trump that breaks the GOP stranglehold on power in Washington and immediately brings the question of impeachment into play next year.
The Democratic triumph could also propel Nancy Pelosi back to the speaker's chair after eight years in the minority, a historic comeback that would add to the California Democrat's already legendary career. It would make her the most important Democrat in the country — and favorite foil for Trump — until Democrats pick their 2020 presidential nominee.

Exasperated Steve Bannon: 'Thank you, Fox News'
By ALENA SADIQ
Fox News threw a lot of election-watchers for a loop Tuesday with its early-evening projection that Democrats would win the House — but perhaps none more vocally than Steve Bannon.
"Thank you, Fox News," the former Donald Trump strategist said during an election night webcast, where the news left him and several other rightwing panelists visibly rattled. "Thank you, Lachlan Murdoch. We've only got three more hours of voting, brother. I know they may not do that in Australia, but here in the United States we still vote."

Georgia's Brian Kemp faces his own hiccup at the ballot box
By CATHERINE BOUDREAU
Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, who faced accusations of trying to make it hard for blacks and Hispanics to vote, faced his own speed bumps when he went to cast a ballot Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Kemp told POLITICO that a poll worker did not properly program a card that was supposed to give him access to a touch-screen voting machine. Those electronic machines have been a cause of controversy for Kemp, who as secretary of state is Georgia's top election official. Activist groups went to court this year to demand that the state replace the machines, saying they're unreliable and make it impossible to audit the results.

Trump boasts of 'tremendous success' despite painful House defeat
The president and his aides celebrated the GOP's defense of the Senate, but there was no spinning away the grim reality of a Democratic House win.
By CHRISTOPHER CADELAGO and ANDREW RESTUCCIA
Republicans lost the House of Representatives in Tuesday night's midterm elections — a painful blow that will subject the Trump White House to ruthless Democratic oversight in the coming months.
But to hear the president and his allies tell it, the winner of the election was President Donald Trump himself.

Early exit polls: Midterms all about Trump
Most voters said that their vote in the midterm election was about President Donald Trump and that they had recent extremist violence on their minds as they headed to the voting booth, according to early exit polls.
Television networks early on Tuesday evening teased the results of exit polls even before the first polls had closed in Indiana and Kentucky. One potentially troubling sign for Republican incumbents: While majorities of voters polled said that they felt positively about the economy, they didn't name it as a key issue and also said the country is headed in the wrong direction.

Dems defeat Walker on mixed night in the statehouses
Thirty-six governorships are up for grabs on election night, including 26 held by Republicans.
By DANIEL STRAUSS
Wisconsin Democrats checked off a bucket-list item early Wednesday morning by defeating Republican Gov. Scott Walker, part of a mixed night in the statehouses that saw Democrats pick up a half-dozen governorships but suffer disappointment in several high-profile races, including Florida.
Democrats flipped governorships in Illinois, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, Wisconsin and — in an upset — Kansas on Tuesday night as the party sought to challenge Republicans' statehouse dominance around the country. But Republicans held on in Ohio, where Republican Mike DeWine will be the next governor, and Florida, where former GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis defeated Democrat Andrew Gillum.

Republicans romp in Senate battlegrounds
The GOP padded its majority by at least one seat — and as many as five.
Republicans rode a red wave in Trump country Tuesday night, keeping control of the Senate and handing President Donald Trump a partial victory in his first midterm election even as Democrats won the House majority.
A handful of Senate races broke decisively for Republicans, allowing them to defeat at least three Democratic incumbents and protect multiple seats where the party had been on defense. Trump's intense focus on protecting the chamber provided a late surge of momentum down the stretch: They won at least four races where he held rallies in the closing days of the campaign.

First report of Aspergillus parasiticus on Barley Grain in Serbia
Nikolić, Milica
Savić, Iva
Obradović, Ana
Stevanović, Milan
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a secondary grain crop in Serbia used commercially for animal feed, seed, and human food applications. The production of barley in the 2016 to 2017 growing season reached a record yield of almost 400,000 metric tons (USDA 2017). Aspergillus contamination has been rare in the agroecological conditions of cereal-growing areas in Serbia. Changes in climatic factors, such as occurrence of high temperatures and prolonged droughts, increased frequency of Aspergillus spp. Species Aspergillus parasiticus was isolated from maize grain for the first time in Serbia in 2012 and from wheat grains in 2017 (Nikolic et al. 2018). We hypothesized that these pathogens can also be present in barley fields in Serbia. Barley spikes exhibiting bleaching were sampled at the beginning of June 2017 grown in northern Serbia. In severe infections, barley spikes get a dry look with awns that stand upright and firm. The incidence of the disease of the bleached spiked in the field was... 15 to 20%. From each representative sample, 100 shriveled grains were collected. After surface sterilization with bleach/distilled water 1:3, 100 grains per sample (10 per Petri dish) were placed on potato dextrose agar and incubated at 25°C for 7 days. After isolation, 50% of isolates were identified as Alternaria spp., 20% as Fusarium spp., approximately 15% as Aspergillus spp. In order to reliably identify individual species of fungi, the fragments of colonies were transferred to malt extract agar (MEA) and Czapek yeast agar (CYA) and incubated in the dark for 7 days. The fungal colonies were dark green. The reverse side was pale yellow. The average colony diameter was 65 mm. Conidia were spherical and rough with thick walls. The average size of conidia was 5.1 µm. Colonies were floccose and thin on MEA and CYA. Based on growth and morphological characteristics, isolates were determined as A. parasiticus (Pitt and Hocking 2009). Molecular detection of Aspergillus species was done by using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the aflR-aflJ (genes for aflatoxin biosynthesis) intergenic spacer. The restriction enzyme BglII was able to cut the PCR product of A. parasiticus at one restriction site, resulting in two fragments of 363 and 311 bp (El Khoury et al. 2011). A. parasiticus CBS 100926 was used as a reference isolate. The pathogenicity of 20 isolates was verified on a group of 20 randomly selected spikes in four replicates (Mesterházy et al. 1999). A 7-day-old culture of each isolate was used for the preparation of the spore suspension (1 × 10⁶ spores/ml). Inoculation was carried out after 50% of plants reached the anthesis stage. Groups of 20 selected spikes were sprayed from all sides with 20 ml of fungal spore suspension. Control spikes were inoculated by applying an equal amount of sterile distilled water. The infection rate was estimated after 3 weeks on a 1 to 7 scale, with 1 = 0 to 5%, 2 = 5 to 15%, 3 = 15 to 30%, 4 = 30 to 50%, 5 = 50 to 75%, 6 = 75 to 90%, and 7 = 90 to 100% infected spike area. The average infection rate was 3.2. The pathogen was reisolated from the inoculated spikes and identified as A. parasiticus, with the aim to confirm Koch's postulates. Developed symptoms were similar to those observed on spikes collected from the field. Control spikes did not show any symptoms of the disease. These results confirmed the pathogenicity of A. parasiticus on H. vulgare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the occurrence of A. parasiticus on barley grain in Serbia. Because A. parasiticus is known to be a severe aflatoxin producer and climatic changes can increase the frequency of this fungus, further studies are necessary to improve strategies for food safety and quality.

Q: Python CSV Parsing, Escaped Quote Character I am trying to parse a CSV file using the csv.reader, my data is separated by commas and each value starts and ends with quotation marks.  Example:
"This is some data", "New data", "More \"data\" here", "test"

My problem is with the third value, the data I get which has quotation marks within it has an escape character to show it is part of the data.  The python CSV reader does not use this escape character so it results in incorrect parsing.
I tried code like below:
    with open(filepath) as csv_file:
        csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',', quotechar='\\"')

But I get an error complaining the quotechar is not 1 character.
My current solution is just to replace all characters \" characters with a single quote ' before parsing with csv.reader - however, I would like to know if there is a better way without modifying the original data.

A: The issue here is that you need to define an escapechar, so that the csv reader knows to treat \" as ".
csv.reader(csv_file, quotechar='"', delimiter=',', escapechar='\\')

#announceAlexis is now a reality, while the Armenian captain Mkhitaryan went to London. What does this actually mean for your FPL team?

It took ages, but he is now wearing the legendary number 7. Good luck Alexis!

You may challenge my statement, but the biggest and most long-awaited winter transfer window saga was completed tonight. Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal joined arch rival Manchester United on a four-and-a-half-year deal. He will wear the iconic #7 jersey once worn by David Beckham. The Chilean will now become the best-paid player in the Premier League. On the flip side, Henrikh Mkhitaryan of Man U moves to London to enable the swap. MkHit now claims he was dreaming to play for the Gunners, and I claim to be the reincarnation of... Never mind, I will park it here.
Alexis's perspectives
First, please enjoy the United's masterpiece, where Alexis is playing "Glory, Glory Man Utd" on a piano. I'm neutral to the Red Devils, but their marketing department deserves a credit:
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. Introducing #Alexis7…#GGMU #MUFC @Alexis_Sanchez pic.twitter.com/t9RIIx4mE4

Let's have a quick look at who is now available in Manchester United attack, ranked by price tag and total points this season:
Anthony Martial (8.0£) & 108 points
Alexis Sanchez (11.7£) & 97 points
Jesse Lingard (6.4£) & 91 points
Paul Pogba (8.0£) & 88 points
Juan Mata (6.8£) & 77 points
Marcus Rashford (7.6£) & 73 points* (he is a forward in FPL, but with Romelu Lukaku being fit, there is hardly any space for the young Englishman playing at a wing or just behind Lakuku)
Nemanja Matic (4.8£) & 60 points
Marouane Fellaini (4.7£) & 34 points
Ander Herrera (5.0£) & 28 points
The latter three aren't direct competitors, playing mainly in the deep defensive midfield area. Fellaini (if fit) is sometimes used as a differential in attack, but this is a pure tactical switch. I didn't mention Ashley Young, as he is now competing with Luke Shaw for the left wing-back position.
That leaves us with the six strong contenders for the remaining four midfield slots. Pogba is too essential these days to be benched, so we narrow it down to five for three. One of my good friends is a Red Devils' fan for life and he shared with me the fanbase views of the latest announcement:
"We are all very excited, though obviously bit cautious. There are still strong memories of Angel di Maria wearing number 7 and tremendously cracking under the pressure and stellar expectations. There is a hope though, as our team is so better equipped, as to the Argentinian's time with us. Alexis is an extremely versatile player, and this is probably his biggest value for the current Manchester United squad. All three of Martial, Lingard and Rashford are still possible stars-in-making, while Sanchez brings a ton of experience and a proven track record from his Barcelona and Arsenal times."
"Mata, on the other hand, is in his footballing prime. He has scored three and assisted three so far this season, which is not the rate we expect from a creative number 10 playing for a Top 4 side with ambition to fight for the Premier League crown."
"Lingard has been extremely flexible and effective this season, while Martial regained his form just lately. Rashford is in a bit of a limbo and he needs to get his form back and get it quickly if he has any plans for making the England World Cup squad."
" 'Tis said, we all expect Alexis to make an immediate impact on our attacking returns, but it remains to be seen in which role. We struggle with the creativity in general, but with Martial's form and Mata's experience our biggest gap is on the right attacking wing. Mourinho may give him a go right away in the upcoming game against Yeovil Town, and we are all looking forward to seeing him in action!"
So do we Andrey, so do we.
In my view, Alexis's arrival threatens Mata and Lingard most. Martial isn't much of use anywhere except his beloved left-wing. At Arsenal, Sanchez played mostly on the left, but had in fact the freedom to operate across the whole pitch. He had a short spell in the lone striker role, but there's no way he will be preferred to the Big Rom. Mourinho likes to tinker with his team, adapting its style to each and every opponent, so there will always be space for the hard-working Alexis.
My verdict is the supporting position right behind Romelu Lukaku and ahead of Pogba. My second guess is right wing. In essence, his position shouldn't really matter, as I expect him to be a revelation in the 2nd half of the season. I'm most probably buying him as soon as possible, and I recommend that you to follow me unless we see some hex from Mourinho in the upcoming Cup game.
Mkhitaryan's perspective
I will be less poetic and effusive about the Armenian captain transfer, starting with the plain Arsenal presentation of their new signing:
Love that, @HenrikhMkh - we're delighted to have you here pic.twitter.com/PDABMfhsNx
— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) January 22, 2018
What a contrast to United's video, right? In all honesty, I can hardly believe that Mkhitaryan dreamed in childhood to play for the Gunners, so I remain skeptical of his real incentives. It looks like an escape to me.
Mkhitaryan started the season in world-class fashion, assisting five goals in the United's first three games. He scored once in GW-5 against Everton, in what was his last productive week at Old Trafford. His subsequent performances went from bad to worse, resulting in his being axed from the starting eleven in GW-12. He has started only once since then (festive-congested GW-21). His downfall coincided with Pogba's injury in a Champions League game. Was he so dependent? Why didn't he step up to the starring role?
He will now cost you mere 7.6£ in FPL with 57 points to his name this season. In my view, there are better options in this price-bracket (e.g. Son, Lingard, Richarlison, Pogba and Shaqiri) who are all available and motivated.
Mkhitaryan will be cup-tied for the Arsenal's upcoming replay against their London rivals Chelsea in the FA Cup, increasing his chances to feature in league matches. Henrikh is a great and (per Wenger) "complete" player, once "his head is calm and focused". He was lost in Mourinho's mind games and unfortunately has never risen to his true potential as a Red Devil.
At Arsenal he has a partnership to build with fellow German-speaker Ozil, who is of a very similar profile as the Armenian. In Alexandre Lacazette he should find a target for his assists. Arsene Wenger now has a player whom he has long admired, but he has a huge task to rebuild confidence and style of an undoubtedly talented footballer.
It remains to be seen if Borussia Dortmund ace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will finalize his rumored transfer to Arsenal. If the stars align, PEA would re-unite with his 2015/2016 Dortmunder assist master (Mkhitaryan), who earned the Bundesliga Player of the Season award with 15 assists to his name.
Let me stop in here, ladies and gentlemen, as I'm dying to know your thoughts on this swap.
Is Alexis Sanchez now in a position to reignite his former meteoric form, making him again a fantasy must-have? Will Mkhitaryan rediscover his early-season composure? Or will he become yet another Mesut Ozil? Tell us your thoughts in the chat below, and thank you for reading!

Newsweek Squeaks Towards Its Demise
By Ed Driscoll May 07, 2010 4:33 PM ET
Speaking of magazines that had lost their way, John Podhoretz has a must-read description of why Newsweek failed:
For years, Newsweek was a liberal journal of opinion masquerading as a news publication that attempted to sell itself to a mass readership with a lot of health-care, entertainment, and lifestyle fluff. As a vehicle for news analysis, it was entirely conventional; as a purveyor of sociological fluff, it was kind of fun, though often enragingly so; as a journal of opinion, it was to actual journals of opinion as tofutti is to gelato, flavorless and bland and mock. Last year, Meacham and Co. ditched much of the news analysis and sociological fluff in favor of more and more opinion.
It will not surprise you to know that much of the opinion dealt with the ways in which Barack Obama was right and noble and good and strong and tough and resourceful and a good symbol and an agent of change and so is his wife, by the way — and when it was not about that, it was primarily about how the right is at war with itself and torn and in conflict and dominated by anger and full of rage and presumptively racist and anti-gay and anti-women and anti-media. That was to be expected. But there was really almost nothing else in there, and what was there as a matter of ideological coloration wasn't especially tough or good or interesting or novel.
But in describing his redesign, there were two words that Meacham did not use, and they were "liberal" and "opinion." Instead, he promised "complexity" and the publication of "the argued essay — a piece, grounded in reason and supported by evidence, that makes the case for something." Even with the decision to jettison news from a magazine called Newsweek, its leaders could not bring themselves to acknowledge what the magazine actually was.
And the public beheld it, and like the child in the classic New Yorker cartoon, the public said, "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it."
Less than a year ago, Andrew Ferguson brilliantly skewered Newsweek, a magazine whose target audience basically consisted of its own editors, plus Katie, Maureen, Pinch, and not many others, and asked, "Are there really 1.5 million magazine readers–the number of subscribers Jon has promised advertisers–who want a liberal opinion magazine written by liberals who don't want to admit they're liberals?"
Hey, even the New York Times, MSNBC and Newsweek's soon-to-be former owner are honest enough to occasionally break through their epistemic closure and cop to their biases from time to time.


Here's a great tip to feel inadequate. Have a look at a picture of celebrity walking out the gym. Take extra care to notice their flawless skin and then as you realise your skin will never look this good; crumble and wallow in self-pity. And if you are a bride-to-be and looking at these pictures, I am sorry, it's just their skin actually looks just that good. And while you may not have access to the skin doctors, expensive potions and skincare magic, Hauterfly is giving you exclusive access to celebrity skincare expert Jamuna Pai and if you are a bride-to-be, this is the one article you should be reading today. So keep scrolling to see her tips for the bride to be.
The earlier the better, especially if you have problem skin. Treatments like laser hair reduction and acne scar resurfacing need to be done months in advance. As soon as your wedding date is fixed, get in touch with a cosmetic physician. Choose good, trusted people to handle your skin; if something goes wrong, you may not be able to fix it in a rush. And panic can't fix anything.
I would recommend a cleanup/facial once a month, depending on your skin type. If possible, take hydrating facials – they will nourish and moisturize your skin and add that much-needed glow.
A full body detan is best done once a month. When done well, it will eliminate tan, brighten skin and slough off dead skin.
For hands and feet, invest in monthly manicures and pedicures. Gel or acrylic nail extensions also work, especially for the all-important close-ups of the ring.
Drink lots of water. Eat well, eat balanced and eat at regular intervals. And even though you're rushing around, try to sleep on time and sleep well. Be a rested, happy, healthy bride: you will glow from the inside out.No matter how busy you are being a bride on the go, set aside 10 minutes for taking care of your skin. A sunscreen, moisturiser and a night repair cream have to be an integral part of the skincare regime on a daily basis.
Besides this, exfoliate your skin once a week or at least in 10 days. Exfoliation helps remove the unwanted dead skin cells which make the skin look dull and tired. A regular clean-up/ facial once a month, can help hydrate and rejuvenate your skin. However busy your schedule is, try and exercise as and when time permits. A balanced diet is imperative.
