This study protocol describes a randomized double blind clinical trial, which main purpose is to evaluate the effect of the autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (ABMMC) implant in 300 Brazilian patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Double blind study design was chosen for this trial, based on several phase I and II safety trials of intracoronary autologous bone marrow stem cells transplantation, already published. The study coordinator committee, supported by the Brazilian Health Ministry, therefore has proposed a phase III trial with the purpose of proving the efficacy of this kind of therapy, for a population with a high risk of developing heart failure and of death by cardiovascular cause.
Thus, in this protocol we propose a prospective, double blind, controlled and randomized trial to evaluate the effect of ABMMC transplantation through intracoronary infusion, on systolic left ventricle (LV) function. The main hypothesis of this trial is that patients submitted to autologous bone marrow stem cell implant, after 6 months follow up, will present a 5% relative increase of the ejection fraction (EF) comparing to control group.
Masking Description: Control group received injection of saline with 5% autologous serum without the suspension of mononuclear cells.
Official Title: Multicenter Prospective Randomized Double Blind Trial of Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Transplantation Through Intracoronary Injection in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction.
Intracoronary injection in the infarcted-related artery of 100 million bone marrow mononuclear cells resuspended in a 10 ml solution of saline with autologous serum.
Catheter based stem cells delivery of 100 million cells resuspended in a 10 ml solution of saline with autologous serum. About 100 ml of Bone Marrow aspirate were harvested from iliac crest between the fifth and seventh day after myocardial infarction. ABMMC were isolated by density gradient centrifugation on Ficoll-PaqueTM plus (Amersham Biosciences) and manipulated under aseptic conditions for injection, after being filtered through 100 um nylon mesh to remove cell aggregates.
Intracoronary injection in the infarcted-related artery of placebo solution consisting of a saline containing autologous blood serum.
i) Presence of chest pain. ii) Elevation of the myonecrosis markers.
Age between 30 and 80 years old.
Ejection fraction ≤50% on Echocardiogram (Simpson) and segmentary dysfunction of the infarction area, measured between the 3rd and 5th day post AMI.
Among patients submitted to thrombolytic therapy, the angioplasty of the related artery should be preferably done up to 24h after thrombolysis, with a maximum deadline of 72h after thrombolysis.
AMI related artery presenting TIMI < 3 at the moment f cell injection.
Left Main Coronary Artery Lesion of >50% or multivessel coronariopathy (>70% lesion in vessels with >2,0mm diameter in left anterior descending, circumflex and right coronary territory) indicating the need for CABG or angioplasty with three or more stents implant.
Coronary anatomy, after thrombolytic reperfusion, presenting no need for angioplasty with stent implant.
Final Diastolic Pression of the LV higher than 30 mmHg during ventriculography for evaluating EF inclusion criteria for the research protocol (item "c" of inclusion criteria).
Cardiac arrest or Killip IV AMI at admission with need of ventilatory support.
Cardiogenic shock persisting up to the third day after AMI (with need of Intra-aortic balloon pump or vasopressors).
AMI mechanical complications (ventricular septal defect, papillary muscle rupture, and left ventricular free wall rupture).
Significant valve disease, defined as aortic stenosis (mean systolic pressure gradient across the aortic valve >50mmHg), mitral stenosis with a valvar area less than 1,5 cm,2 moderate to severe aortic and/or mitral regurgitation.
Chronic use of immunosuppressive agents.
> 2,0 mg/dl creatinine or previous dialysis treatment.
Presence of fever on the past 48h before injection glaring active systemic infection according to ACCP/SCCM (American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine) sepsis definition.
Sustained ventricular tachycardia 48h after AMI.
Illicit drugs abuse or alcohol abuse (based on DSM IV).
Any co morbidity, with survival impact in two years.
COPD in continuous steroids use.
Hematological disease, neoplasm, bone disease or hemostatic disturbances.
Inflammatory disease or chronicle infectious disease.
Presence of definitive implantation of a cardiac pace maker or cardiac defibrillator.
Impossibility to reach a cells suspension of 100 million mononuclear cells due to cells paucity in the bone marrow aspirate.

RA's Daily Russia News Blast – August 5, 2014
By Citizen M | Published: August 5, 2014
TODAY: Sanctions hit hard, but unlikely to influence Moscow; Russia begins military exercises near Ukraine border; 400 troops leaving Ukraine for Russia 'are PoWs'; inflation finally decreasing, but still higher than targets; Kasparov, Gessen, Putin video hoax.
In retaliation for Western sanctions against Russia, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin wants Russia to issue a full import replacement to help it 'become completely independent', and slammed 'unprecedented pressure on our country', as more U.S. products were added to Russia's blacklist, including America's Kentucky Gentleman bourbon. But despite palpable effects on the Russian economy, U.S. sanctions have not led to any policy changes in Moscow, noted a White House spokesperson – and they aren't likely to in the future, either; Putin ally Gennady Timchenko says business leaders in Russia will not put pressure on their president to change course; and analysts agree that those close to Putin are too dependent on him to revolt. Sanctions caused tour operator Labyrinth to collapse this week, leaving 27,000 of its Russian clients stranded in foreign resorts. But Europe's energy sanctions, at least, are more theatrical than anything else, says Reuters, and are primarily aimed at keeping costs to EU energy firms as low as possible. Japan has approved additional sanctions, including individual asset freezes, and a ban on Crimean imports; and Kiev is preparing a list of 500 Russian cultural figures who will be banned from its territory.
Moscow has commenced a week of major military exercises involving over 100 aircraft near Russia's border with Ukraine. Russia says that 400 Ukrainian troops deserted the Kiev government yesterday, crossing the border into Russia seeking asylum. Not so, says Ukraine – the soldiers are prisoners of war, driven into Russia by separatist rebels, and 180 of them have already requested to be returned. Russia's inflation is finally decelerating for the first time this year, but price growth is higher than the Central Bank target. 'There is no great joy in the July figures.' Lukoil says it will sell its European filling stations.
Masha Gessen contemplates 'Russia's continuing slide into darkness'. Former world chess champion and opposition figure Garry Kasparov is urging the West not to back down from its economic assault on Russia. Commiserations to those who thought that President Vladimir Putin really had been pooped on by a bird during a speech last week.

While I am still in retreat, I share this glowing post from my friend and business mentor, Nathalie Molino Nino. (She is brilliant at what she does! Here's the link to get her weekly love letter.) It is about me and my endeavors but also about following your dreams. Enjoy!
The idea is loaded with vivid imagery and for many, with disdain too. It's grey suits and cubicles, it's misogyny and boxes, lots and lots of nasty, narrow-minded boxes that no one with any creativity would ever squeeze into. Boxes that tell you what you need to sound like, what you need to prioritize and how you need to live, or not live. Then there are the rules that keep you in those boxes! Rules about being small, rules about being assertive (but not as assertive as your male counterparts because the same traits in a woman are quickly quelled), rules on how to win, about choosing to be rich instead of right, about working hard, losing sleep and bludgeoning the competition!
There's no denying, that is what business has looked like for a lot of us. And while there have always been exceptions, they don't make the cover of magazines and they aren't on anyone's top "anything" list, they rarely get the funding and even less frequently get the credit. That is the story we've been told about what it means to be a business woman and it's strikingly similar to the story of business men, but with longer hours, bigger risks and a smaller upside (about 77 cents to the dollar, last time I checked).
But it's just one story, an old story and moreover, it's a choice. Just like eating a meal can be drudgery or it can be a spiritual experience, the choice is yours. The process of growing food can be filled with unethical practices and greed, or it can be done with love. Again, a choice.
Business is a choice, you can be subjected to its injustices or you can flourish and create a new story, you choose.
But just like food, you can't opt-out. Because you, my kind reader, are a business woman. That's right, businesses come in all shapes and sizes and in the end are really just about transacting. And transacting is just another word for exchange. You, no matter if you're a CEO or an acupuncturist, are in the business of making exchanges happen. We all are. And this is an invitation to own it and find the love.
I've always known this was true on some level, but it took a Sufi Master to really help me understand it. Her name is Dunya Dianne McPherson and I would bet anything she's never been inside a grey suit. Oh and you know what else?
She's a damn good business woman.
Dunya is a living Sufi master (in addition to author, teacher, artist, performer) and when I met her she had a loyal, global following and was widely recognized as a meditative leader. She'd participated in a neuroscience study of great meditators, lectured at places like Princeton, been called a "modern Isadora Duncan" by the New York Times and her Summer Movement Monastery (where I'm headed next week) was the largest it had ever been.
She was on top of the world, or at least that's what it looked like.
But if you looked a little closer, you'd have seen that Dunya was struggling with her 'business woman' monsters. She had paid her dues (ten times over, I'd say), but like a sales person who keeps almostmaking the sale, she wasn't closing the deal. Despite all her accolades and accomplishments, Dunya's life was a life of subsistence, too often spent fretting about the event around the corner and rarely having time to visualize her organization's future. She dreaded the "business" aspect of her life but grudgingly accepted it as a necessary evil.
Fast forward to today, three and a half short years later, and you'll see something very different.
Dunya is still Dunya, but she's just a little more present. The necessary evil has transformed into something that is, in her words, "engaging, purposeful, prosperous, often inspiring, even exhilarating." And while I am honored to have had a part in the transformation, I can tell you with all confidence that this was Dunya's doing. Advising Dunya has been a little like lighting a fire, all it took was a little spark and I'm amazed every day at how far and wide the fire has grown.
I'll never forget the look in her eyes the first time I asked her what she saw herself doing in 10-15 years; when she shared what seemed then like an impossible dream of having a sanctuary somewhere in the high desert. She shrugged it off as the clichéd daydream of the typical Manhattan apartment dweller. Because who doesn't dream of a big plot of land somewhere to stop and rest a while, away from civilization?
Like any advisor would do for their client, be it the CEO of a multinational or a spiritual leader, together we built a path to get Dunya where she dreamed of going. And every month I reminded her that thisbusiness was hers to do with what she wanted, her story to tell however she saw fit.
And holy ^%$# did she do it!
She didn't just make nice with her inner business woman, she connected with her so deeply that she has surprised even her biggest believers, even me.
Look a little more closely now (at the photo above) and you'll see Dunya sitting on the edge of a cliff in New Mexico, a cliff that sits in the middle of 160 acres of spectacular land that she purchased in 2011, not even two years after our work sessions began. Her cliff, her land, her 15 year plan made a reality in a matter of months!
This isn't magic, it's business (which you can of course choose to make magical). Whether you're a meditation guru, the head of a non-profit changing the world (or your neighborhood), the proprietor of a yoga studio, a law firm or a multinational, you're in the business of something.
It's time to rethink your story, embrace your inner business woman and find the love.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop leads the charge on selling Australian innovation to the world
News » News & Analysis » Foreign Minister Julie Bishop leads the charge on selling Australian innovation to the world
Liz Leigh - January 27, 2016 2 MIN READ
Fresh off launching a $28 million advertising package to sell to Australians the idea that we are an innovative nation, the Government is now looking to sell this idea to the world and encourage foreign investors to look to Australian innovation as the next frontier.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has led the charge, using her current tour of the United States to encourage Americans to learn more about and invest in Australian innovation.
In a speech to Fortune 500 company executives, US policy makers, academics, and economists at the first event of the G'Day USA program in New York, Bishop announced that Australia has a lot more to offer in terms of innovation, and that our talent pool of entrepreneurs is world class.
It was the perfect venue for the speech, with the G'Day USA program itself designed to promote Australia to America. The program offers our leaders the chance to boast the value to Australia's creative industries to one of the world's most powerful markets.
"We are unleashing the full potential of our entrepreneurs and our high value-added creative industries on to the global market," said Bishop.
"This program is a celebration of the partnership between our countries and a showcase of the truly remarkable possibilities is that the partnership offers for the future. Australia is continuing to embrace innovation at the heart of our economic policies. Innovation is the watch world."
Given it's historically been Australian entrepreneurs learning about and visiting the United States, Bishop's speech encouraging the US to look to Australian technology and innovation is a welcome switch.
Her focus on the local talent pool also highlights the importance of the $28 million advertising campaign. While the benefits of the campaign were questioned by many in the tech scene, who suggested that the money would be better spent on investing in startups, selling innovation to the everyday Australian is crucial in helping to grow the local talent pool.
Through it, the Government hopes to change the culture and conversation around technology and innovation in order to inspire individuals around the nation to build globally viable and scalable businesses that can challenge and disrupt the current leaders.
"There truly has never been a better time to be an innovative Australian business or to do business in Australia," Bishop said.

Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica has thinned significantly during the last two decades and has provided a measurable contribution to sea-level rise as a result. Both glacier dynamics and climate are thought to be responsible for thinning, but exactly how they influence the glacier are incompletely known. Dutrieux et al. (p. 174, published online 2 January) provide another layer of detail to our understanding of the process through observations of ocean temperatures in the surrounding waters. The thermocline adjacent in the sea adjacent to the glacier calving front (where ice is discharged) lowered by 250 meters in the austral summer of 2012. This change exposed the bottom of the ice shelf to colder surface waters rather than to the warmer, deeper layer, thereby reducing heat transfer from the ocean to the overlying ice and decreasing basal melting of the ice by more than 50% compared to 2010. Those 2012 ocean conditions were partly caused by a strong La Niña event, thus illustrating how important atmospheric variability is for regulating how the Antarctic Ice Sheet responds to climate change.
Pine Island Glacier has thinned and accelerated over recent decades, significantly contributing to global sea-level rise. Increased oceanic melting of its ice shelf is thought to have triggered those changes. Observations and numerical modeling reveal large fluctuations in the ocean heat available in the adjacent bay and enhanced sensitivity of ice-shelf melting to water temperatures at intermediate depth, as a seabed ridge blocks the deepest and warmest waters from reaching the thickest ice. Oceanic melting decreased by 50% between January 2010 and 2012, with ocean conditions in 2012 partly attributable to atmospheric forcing associated with a strong La Niña event. Both atmospheric variability and local ice shelf and seabed geometry play fundamental roles in determining the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to climate.
Colder surface ocean waters decreased the rate of melting under the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in 2012.

Textile artworks inspired by Vincent's life and masterworks were displayed together in tribute to this favourite artist at the Australasian Quilt Convention in Melbourne, April 2018. These exquisite quilts from makers all over the world are made entirely from hand-dyed suede-look cotton from Cherrywood Fabrics, a small company in Minnesota, USA. The stunning visual impact of this exhibit is due to the cohesive colour, size, theme and fabric. The collection showcases a wide range of subject matter and beautiful quilting techniques. This is the third challenge sponsored by Cherrywood Fabrics, with participants from all over the world. The possibility of fabric prizes, extensive exposure, and having work published in a book has contributed to the growing interest in this unique contest. Over 450 entries were viewed by a panel of three jurors. The 200 selected quilts were divided into two exhibits which will travel all over the world, including stops in Canada, France, and Australia.

Summer is here and for most of the country that equals fire restrictions. While these restrictions seem to put a crimp in your camping, they're really just a minor inconvenience. You still get to enjoy the outdoors - just in a different style.
During these periods, campfires and charcoal grilling are banned except in designated areas. Even though bans are an annual occurrence, many campers forget - they get all the way to the campground only to find the area is under a fire restriction.
The get-around solution lies in liquid fuel. Most people use propane, but camp fuel (often called white gas) is also an option. In lieu of a charcoal grill, you can use a gas-fired camp stove or grill. The Dutch oven can be replaced with saucepans and, for some dishes, a pressure cooker. You can cook just about anything you normally would.
I take a Char-Broil Gas Tabletop Grill (model 465133010) to use for grilling steaks, hamburgers, and hotdogs. These are so cheap that you might be tempted to buy a new one instead of just cleaning it. I removed the side handles for more compact packing.
Accessories for the stove broaden your cooking possibilities. I have the nifty Coleman Camping Oven. It's a metal box that sits on the gas stove and works great for baking a few potatoes, heating up appetizers, and warming up Cinnabons. The box folds up when not in use so it takes up very little space.
The biggest challenge you'll notice during a fire restriction involves the campfire. Or lack thereof. (Assuming you're not at a designated campsite.) Thankfully, there are propane options available to you. That's right: a campfire fueled by propane.
I have a propane campfire pit made by Camp Chef (model GCLOG), and I really like it. At 40 cm (16") wide, the pit sports a sturdy base and comes with a supply of lava rocks. They produce a very natural-looking fire. The pit is about 15 cm (6") high when it is in the provided carrying case. The best part about this psuedo campfire is the lack of smoke. No matter which way the wind blows, there are no stinging eyes or noses. At the right setting, you can enjoy a sociable campfire. Turn it up for more heat, but realize that you'll burn through your propane quickly. A 5 kg (2.5 gallon) tank might get you through a weekend, but a 9 kg (5 gallons) tank is better. Pack an extra tank for insurance.
My fire pit uses about one gallon of fuel each night running at a low to medium flame. After one weekend you'll have a pretty good idea of how much fuel you burn, which will help you decide how much to bring next time.
What if you don't have a propane unit? Place a lantern in the campfire pit and crank up the light. I know that sounds kitschy, but at least you and the gang have somewhere to congregate and chat. Those campfire bull sessions are so valuable. My feeling is that if you have a group, you have to have a campfire, even if it isn't a true campfire.
When fire restrictions are in place, it is time to switch gears. You won't be taking the Dutch oven, charcoal grill, briquettes, and firewood. Instead, you'll pack the gas fire pit, camp stove, propane BBQ grill, other liquid fuel appliances, and the necessary fuel.
Propane tanks can be carried inside or outside the vehicle. I bolt a 5 kg (11 lbs) tank onto the tire carrier with a quality bracket from Power Tank.
Due to the dry conditions, you should have also carry a fire extinguisher, shovel, and water.
Fire restrictions are common across Canada and the USA. The right gear and mindset will allow you to enjoy a fun camping trip regardless.

Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia
Multi Zone Meeting
Monday 6th April, 2020
Vin and Nancy Cosgrove will present on a selection of experiences from the Vietnam War.
Richmond resident Vincent Cosgrove is a Vietnam veteran, was an educator in western Sydney schools, and is the developer of the Vietnam Veterans education program and is now the recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division.
Beginning his degree at Armidale Teachers College, Mr Cosgrove was soon told he was going to complete a two-year long National Service stint in the Vietnam War.
Eight months of his service was spent completing intense training in parts of NSW and QLD. He went on to spend the compulsory 365 days in the thick of the war as an infantry soldier.
Returning to his teaching career, Mr Cosgrove taught for 36 years, 13 of which were spent as the principal of Whalan High School as well as various stints at other local schools.
''My time as a teacher and a principal was both a challenging and rewarding experience,'' he said.
Mr Cosgrove and his wife Nancy now spend their retirement running the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia's education program, which they developed together and now deliver at schools across the country.
''It's rewarding to be able to tell the students about the Vietnam War with a depth that teachers don't necessarily have,'' Mr Cosgrove said.
''In the 10 or so years we have been doing these two-hour talks, we have done about 530 of them to around 50,000 Year 10 students.''
''My wife has been a close support to me through everything and I was lucky enough to meet a woman who was ready and willing to support me in my endeavours for the past 45 years,'' Mr Cosgrove said.

Restaurants urged to offer smaller portions
By Christina Villacorte | christina.villacorte@dailynews.com |
PUBLISHED: September 13, 2013 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 8:00 a.m.
Yvonne Allen only had a small appetite after jury duty but the Subway restaurant nearest the downtown Los Angeles courthouse didn't serve sandwiches the size she wanted — unless she was willing to order a kids' meal, complete with a sticker and lunch bag decorated with cartoons.
"I got this other sandwich but I can eat only half of it," the 55-year-old customer service manager from Los Angeles said. "I might eat the rest later, but I wish I had the option of just paying for a smaller portion."
Health-conscious and thrifty diners like her across Los Angeles are about to get that option.
Subway is among a handful of restaurants that have partnered with the county Department of Public Health to let customers order smaller portions of existing menu items, as well as healthier kids' meals.
"Almost two-thirds of county residents are overweight or obese," county health director Dr. Jonathan Fielding said in a news conference Thursday. "That puts them at higher risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, kidney problems, heart problems, etc."
He added if restaurants can shrink some of their menu items by 25 to 30 percent, their customers would still be "satiated but not overstuffed."
Kim Belshe, executive director of First 5 LA , a voter-created child advocacy organization, warned the obesity epidemic is becoming acute.
"It is a disturbingly shocking statistic that nearly a quarter of children 3 and 4 years old in L.A. County are obese or overweight," she said. "It is our shared responsibility to contribute to (their) health and well-being."
Under the program launched Thursday, DPH will give restaurants a "Choose Health LA" decal to display on their windows, as well as other promotional material, and list their address on an interactive map at www.choosehealthla.com.
Fielding stressed this would be good for business, as studies show 85 percent of diners want healthier options at their neighborhood restaurants.
Poquito Mas, which has 10 locations, mostly in the San Fernando Valley, signed up for the program immediately.
The restaurant's menu now includes Poquito's Petitos, which are smaller portions of its best-selling tacos, burritos, tostadas and quesadillas — offered at a fraction of the usual price.
The full-sized carnitas tacos are $2.75, while the petite version is $1.89.
"Our customers come in different sizes, so portions should too," the restaurant's founder, Kevin McCarney, said.
Other participating restaurants include Deano's Gourmet Pizza at the Farmer's Market near The Grove, and My Fit Foods in Century City.
The department is still trying to recruit fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King and Carl's Jr.
Aside from offering smaller portions of existing menu items, participating restaurants must make sure that at least half of their kids' meals are not deep fried, and include fruits and/or vegetables, and a healthy beverage.
County Supervisor Zev Yaroslasky, who adopted a healthier lifestyle after being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, said restaurants should not worry that offering smaller portions at lower prices would hurt their bottom line.
"There's an economic advantage to offering this option because mothers are increasingly concerned about the obesity problem, and they want to do something about it," he said.
According to a 2011 survey by the Hudson Institute, a public policy think tank in Washington D.C., "better-for-you" products accounted for as much as 70 percent of restaurant sales growth from 2007-2011.
In between bites of his own Subway sandwich downtown Thursday, Ben Cornell, a 41-year-old physical therapist from Hawthorne, said it's about time that restaurants in the U.S. stopped supersizing their meals and serving more sensible portions.
"I just got back from France, and their fast food is only about one-third the size of ours," he said. "I remember going to Australia and ordering a large drink, and what they gave me was smaller than what we'd call a 'small' drink here."
But Rick Thrall, a 53-year-old public employee from Glendale, expressed annoyance.
"I don't think it's the place of the government to try to make us healthier," he said. "If I want a big, fat meal, that's my choice, and restaurants should offer what people want."
"If I start not getting a big enough sandwich at a restaurant, I'll stop going there," he added.

Print this list out and keep it in your car. If you're in an accident you don't have to remember what to do, you can just look at your list.
This seems like common sense but hit and runs happen frequently. Legally, you are obligated to stop if you've been in an accident. Besides, you 'll need to exchange insurance information with the other parties involved, take photos of the scene, and speak with the police officer making the accident report.
This goes for both minor fender benders and 10 car pile ups. If there has been any sort of accident, you'll want the police to make a report. Plus, the police officer wasn't in the accident and isn't experiencing the same intense emotions as you, so they are able to better document details you might forget, like the weather, road conditions, witnesses, etc.
When someone puts you and your family in harm's way, it is easy to let your emotions get the best of you. But getting angry is not productive or helpful in the aftermath of an accident. Don't be aggressive or confront any of the other parties involved.
Even if it was obviously your fault, do not admit so and do not profusely apologize. Remain calm, help others in need, and wait for the authorities to arrive and make a report. Do be honest when giving a statement to the police but avoid phrases like "It was all my fault". Such statements may damage any potential insurance claim.
Gathering evidence is a big step in the process of making a legal claim, and the earlier you start the better.
Photo/Video: Get shots of the cars involved, the weather conditions, the road conditions, even a bank sign that might indicate date and time.
Witnesses: Did any bystanders witness the accident? Ask if the witnesses would be willing to provide their contact information and give statements to the police.
If you've been injured in an auto accident, call an experienced personal injury lawyer, like a car accident lawyer Phoenix, AZ trusts, today.
Thanks to our friends and contributors from Kamper Estrada, LLP for their insight into car accident cases.

Ford Motor Co. Announces $5.6 Billion Investment at Memphis Regional Megasite
Ford Motor Company has announced it will be locating its electric vehicle and battery manufacturing plant in West Tennessee, specifically at the TVA-certified Memphis Regional Megasite in Haywood County. This is a $5.6 billion investment – the largest in the state's history – and will create nearly 6,000 jobs in the area."Reliable, low-cost, clean energy attracts world-class companies like Ford to the Tennessee Valley," said TVA CEO Jeff Lyash. "Bringing jobs and capital investment to this region is what we do at TVA – it's a fundamental part of our mission. By helping to bring companies like Ford to this region, we are creating the jobs of the future."
Called "Blue Oval City," the complex will be constructed on the nearly 6-square-mile site in Stanton, Tennessee, and build next-generation electric F-Series pickups and advanced batteries.
"This is our moment – our biggest investment ever – to help build a better future for America," said Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO. "We are moving now to deliver breakthrough electric vehicles for the many rather than the few. It's about creating good jobs that support American families, an ultra-efficient, carbon-neutral manufacturing system, and a growing business that delivers value for communities, dealers and shareholders."
TVA partnered with the state of Tennessee, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development and others to ensure the site met Ford's criteria for clean, low-cost, reliable energy, a forward-thinking business environment and access to a quality workforce, among other factors.
TVA is taking a leadership role in EV technology.
We've helped attract more than $8.2 billion to the Tennessee Valley region for EV and battery manufacturing, helping create almost 4,600 EV-related jobs even before today's announcement.
TVA is partnering with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, local power companies and third parties to begin building a fast-charging network across Tennessee.
TVA has partnered with other utilities to be a founding member of the National Electric Highway Coalition.
So why would a company like Ford Motor Company invest in this area?
"This is another example of how TVA's low-cost energy and high reliability supports quality economic growth," said Mark Yates, Vice President of TVA's West Region. "Economic development is a fundamental part of why we exist."
In the past five years alone, TVA has helped deliver 341,000 jobs and over $45.4 billion in capital investment to the seven-state region.
In the past eight years in Memphis, TVA has partnered to attract or retain more than 41,000 jobs and $5.5 billion in capital investment. Examples include Amazon in the Frayser community – 1,000 new jobs and capital investments totaling more than $200 million, as well as AutoZone's headquarters expansion downtown with 130 new high paying jobs and capital investments of more than $80 million.
Locally, economic benefits of TVA's partnership with MLGW total more than $70 million per year for Memphis and Shelby County communities. This includes $19 million in payments in lieu of taxes. (TVA annually returns 5% of power sale revenues from the previous year in the form of in lieu of tax payments to states where it sells electricity or owns assets.)
And as part of TVA's offer to Memphis as its power supplier going forward, TVA would commit to investing more than $100 million over 10 years in the economic revitalization of core communities. Developing the port at the former Allen site for future economic development activity is also a top priority that would enhance commerce and provide job opportunities for Memphians.

THOMAS 2ND EARL OF LANCASTER
"The natural leader of the group was Henry Lacy, Earl of Lincoln. One of the wealthiest men in the country, he was also the oldest of the earls and had proved his loyalty and ableness through long service to Edward I.[12] Lincoln had a moderating influence on the more extreme members of the group, but with his death in February 1311, leadership passed to his son-in-law and heir Thomas of Lancaster.[13] Lancaster – the king's cousin – was now in possession of five earldoms which made him by far the wealthiest man in the country, save the king."

"Hugh Despenser the Younger lived and ruled in grand style, playing a leading role in Edward's government, and executing policy through a wide network of family retainers.[227] Supported by Robert Baldock and Walter Stapledon, Edward's chancellor and lord treasurer, the Despensers accumulated land and wealth, using their position in government to provide superficial cover for what historian Seymour Phillips describes as "the reality of fraud, threats of violence and abuse of legal procedure""

"While the couple were still in France, King Edward had retaliated against Mortimer by taking Joan and all of their children into custody, and "treating them with severity".[22] In April 1324 Joan was removed from Hampshire where she had been confined in a lodging under house arrest and sent to Skipton Castle in Yorkshire; there she was imprisoned in a cell and endured considerable suffering and hardship.[23] Most of her household had been dismissed and she was permitted a small number of attendants to serve her. She was granted just one mark per day for her necessities, and out of this sum she had to feed her servants.[24] She was additionally allowed ten marks per annum at Easter and Michaelmas for new clothes.[25] Her daughters suffered worse privations having been locked up inside various religious houses with even less money at their disposal.[24]Joan was transferred from Skipton to Pontefract Castle in July 1326"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ William_Trussell
"As Edward II slowly regained power from the Ordainers he rewarded the reviled Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester with land he confiscated from the barons, leading to their revolt. William Trussell was amongst them and on 12 March 1322 a warrant for his arrest was issued describing him as "the King's enemy".[3] Four days later both Trussell and his son fought on the rebels' side at the Battle of Boroughbridge. Edward and Dispenser won, beheading the rebels' leader Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster (King Edward's cousin) and forcing others into exile."
"Trussell fled to France……."
"But – they were overwhelmingly avaricious, extorted anyone they could – imprisoning people if they had to, till they handed over their lands – and in a short time made themselves absolutely detested by absolutely everyone"

"Hugh Despenser the Younger lived and ruled in grand style, playing a leading role in Edward's government, and executing policy through a wide network of family retainers.[227] Supported by Robert Baldock and Walter Stapledon, Edward's chancellor and lord treasurer, the Despensers accumulated land and wealth, using their position in government to provide superficial cover for what historian Seymour Phillips describes as "the reality of fraud, threats of violence and abuse of legal procedure".[228] Meanwhile, Edward faced growing opposition.
"The time from the Despensers' return from exile until the end of Edward II's reign was a time of uncertainty in England. With the main baronial opposition leaderless and weak, having been defeated at the Battle of Boroughbridge, and Edward willing to let them do as they pleased, the Despensers were left unchecked. This maladministration caused hostile feeling for them and, by proxy, Edward II"

"His 1152 marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine allowed the future Henry II to gain control of his new wife's possessions of Aquitaine and Gascony. This addition to his already plentiful holdings made Henry the most powerful vassal in France.[3]"
GASCONY/ANGEVIN EMPIRE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Gascony#Angevin_Empire
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Gascony
"William IX, Duke of Aquitaine (d. 1127) who succeeded to the dukedom in 1087, gained fame as a crusader and a troubadour. His son William X (d. 1137) married his daughter Eleanor to Louis VII of France, and Aquitaine went as her dowry. But when Eleanor was divorced from Louis and married Henry II of England in 1152, the duchy passed to the English Crown. Having suppressed a revolt in his new possession, Henry gave it to his son Richard. When Richard died in 1199, it reverted to Eleanor, and on her death five years later, it was absorbed into the English crown and henceforward followed the fortunes of the other English possessions in France, such as Normandy and Anjou, ultimately leading to the Hundred Years' War between the French and English crowns."

Edward was meant to perform homage for Gascony and Ponthieu at Beauvais on 29 August 1325 to his brother-in-law Charles IV, his overlord for these lands. If he failed to do so, the lands would be forfeit to the French king. Edward's great-great-grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine had brought the duchy of Aquitaine to the English Crown on her marriage to (the future) Henry II in 1152, while Ponthieu was Edward's inheritance from his mother Eleanor of Castile, countess of Ponthieu in her own right."

""I feel that marriage is a joining together of man and woman, maintaining the undivided habit of life, and that someone has come between my husband and myself trying to break this bond; I protest that I will not return until this intruder is removed, but discarding my marriage garment, shall assume the robes of widowhood and mourning until I am avenged of this Pharisee."
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 1325: ISABELLA REFUSES TO RETURN TO EDWARD (1)
http://edwardthesecond.blogspo t.nl/2015/11/octobernovember-1 325-isabella-refuses.html
What her words actually say is that she believed a third party, Hugh, had come between herself and her husband to such an extent that she felt like a widow (and the French Chronicle of London confirms that the queen took to wearing clothes "as a lady in mourning who had lost her lord")
"She set Edward an ultimatum, and must have been deeply hurt by his utter refusal to consider her feelings; in long rambling letters to herself, her brother Charles IV and French bishops and noblemen, and in a speech to parliament in London in November 1325, Edward II showed that his greatest priority was to defend Hugh Despenser against all accusations. And of course he completely refused to send Hugh away from him."
"Prince Edward arrived in France, and gave homage in September. At this point, however, rather than returning, Isabella remained firmly in France with her son. Edward began to send urgent messages to the Pope and to Charles IV, expressing his concern about his wife's absence, but to no avail"

ROGER MORTIMER ESCAPES FROM THE TOWER, 1323
http://edwardthesecond.blogspo t.nl/2013/08/roger-mortimer-es capes-from-tower-1323.html
"Isabella remained in France for eighteen months, and when she finally returned to England in September 1326, it was at the head of an invasion force, with her husband's greatest enemy – Roger Mortimer, lord of Wigmore – at her side.
"They had begun some kind of association by 8 February 1326…."
"They had begun some kind of association by 8 February 1326, when Edward II complained that his queen was 'adopting the counsel' of Roger Mortimer and his allies on the Continent, meaning other English noblemen and knights who had joined the 1321/22 Contrariant rebellion against the king and the Despensers and who fled the country after the Contrariant defeat at the battle of Boroughbridge on 16 March 1322."
"Historians have speculated as to the date at which Mortimer and Isabella actually became lovers.[12] The modern view is that it began while both were still in England, and that after a disagreement, Isabella abandoned Roger to his fate in the Tower. His subsequent escape became one of medieval England's most colourful episodes. However almost certainly Isabella risked everything by chancing Mortimer's companionship and emotional support when they first met again at Paris four years later (Christmas 1325)"
ROGER MORTIMER, 1ST EARL OF MARCH/OPPOSITION TO EDWARD II
"Mortimer and Isabella began a passionate relationship from December 1325 onwards; Isabella was taking a huge risk in doing so – female infidelity was a very serious offence in medieval Europe, as shown during the Tour de Nesle Affair – both Isabella's former French sisters-in-law had died by 1326 as a result of their imprisonment for exactly this offence.[75] Isabella's motivation has been the subject of discussion by historians; most agree that there was a strong sexual attraction between the two, that they shared an interest in the Arthurian legends and that they both enjoyed fine art and high living"

"Not long after this, Edmund joined the queen and prince in Paris. A circle of opposition was emerging around the queen, including the exiled Roger Mortimer. Edmund, who had previously been steadfast in his support for his half-brother, now joined the plot against the king.[27] Though he still distrusted Mortimer, his hatred for the Despensers seems to have been even greater at this point.[28] When Edmund, along with the others, ignored the king's order to return to England, his lands were confiscated in March 1326"

"As Edward II slowly regained power from the Ordainers he rewarded the reviled Hugh le Despenser, 1st Earl of Winchester with land he confiscated from the barons, leading to their revolt. William Trussell was amongst them and on 12 March 1322 a warrant for his arrest was issued describing him as "the King's enemy".[3] Four days later both Trussell and his son fought on the rebels' side at the Battle of Boroughbridge."
"Trussell fled to France……"
"Trussell then joined up with Queen Isabella and Mortimer in Paris before moving to Flanders where he was allegedly tasked with helping to build an invasion army by William I, Count of Hainaut.[6] Trussell accompanied Isabella and Mortimer when they landed in England on 22 Sep 1326 at the start of their Invasion of England.'….
"Adam, Abbot of Glastonbury hid Dispenser and the Lord Chancellor, Robert Baldock in Glastonbury Abbey, and in December 1326 William Trussell was ordered to bring the Abbot before the next Parliament.[5] Both Hugh le Despenser, Earl of Winchester and his son Hugh Despenser the Younger were captured and Trussell oversaw the trial of Despenser the Elder where he was denounced and sentenced to death."
"Trussell was appointed Speaker of the House of Commons and, acting as Procurator of the whole Parliament, renounced allegiance to Edward II on 21 Jan 1327. Edward III was crowned as king in his place on 2 Feb 1327 and Trussell went on to become the new king's Secretary and undertake numerous important diplomatic missions, particularly to France and Spain."

THOMAS DE BERKELEY, 3RD BARON BERKELEY
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Thomas_de_Berkeley,_3rd_Baron_ Berkeley
"The Lord of Berkeley was Thomas, who was born about 1293/97, and married Roger Mortimer's eldest daughter Margaret in 1319. He and his father Maurice were imprisoned by Edward in early 1322, during Edward's successful campaign against the earl of Lancaster and the Marcher lords, and Maurice died in prison at Wallingford Castle in 1326. Thomas, therefore, had every reason to detest the former king, and given that his father-in-law was now the main power in England, every reason to remain loyal to him."
"On 20 October 1318 Maltravers was chosen knight of the shire for Dorset. He seems to have sided with Thomas, Earl of Lancaster against the king Edward II, and was in his early life a close associate of Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March. In September 1321 he received pardon for felonies committed in pursuit of the Despensers, but in the following December is described as the king's enemy. In the spring of 1322 he was in arms against the king, and attacked and burnt the town of Bridgnorth. He was present at the battle of Boroughbridge on 16 March, and after the execution of Earl Thomas went overseas"

http://edwardthesecond.blogspo t.nl/2011/07/edward-of-caernar fon-and-rotting-animal.html
"The chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker, several decades later, gives the familiar story that Edward was mistreated at Berkeley, humiliated, half-starved, and incarcerated in a cell above animal carcasses, in the hope that the stench would kill him. However, it's also possible that Edward was treated reasonably well. The records show that he received delicacies such as capons and wine, though it may be that his guards stole them. While it seems highly unlikely that he was treated as an honoured guest, the stories of his incarceration above rotting animal carcasses may be exaggerated."

"All fourteenth-century chronicles which talk about the subject say that Edward II died at Berkeley in September 1327, with none claiming that he survived (the ample evidence for this comes from elsewhere). Some give the red-hot poker story as the cause of death, though the majority don't; some say instead that Edward was suffocated or strangled; some say that he died of natural causes or a grief-induced illness; some say that he was murdered without specifying how; some merely say that he died with no further details at all.

EDWARD II'S DEATH AND AFTERLIFE REVISITED (2)
http://edwardthesecond. blogspot.nl/2013/04/edward- iis-death-and-afterlife.html
"Edward's death was, as Mark Ormrod notes, "suspiciously timely", as it simplified Mortimer's political problems considerably, and most historians believe that Edward probably was murdered on the orders of the new regime, although it is impossible to be certain"
"Controversy rapidly surrounded Edward's death.[331] With Mortimer's execution in 1330, rumours began to circulate that Edward had been murdered at Berkeley Castle. Accounts that he had been killed by the insertion of a red-hot iron or poker into his anus slowly began to circulate, possibly as a result of deliberate propaganda; chroniclers in the mid-1330s and 1340s spread this account further, supported in later years by Geoffrey le Baker's colourful account of the killing.[332] It became incorporated into most later histories of Edward, typically being linked to his possible homosexuality.[333] Most historians now dismiss this account of Edward's death, querying the logic in Edward's captors murdering him in such an easily detectable fashion."

Henry VII of England declared Warbeck an impostor, and after his capture, Warbeck wrote a confession in which he said he was a Fleming born in Tournai around 1474. Due to uncertainty as to whether Richard of Shrewsbury had died in the Tower of London or had survived, Warbeck's claim gathered some followers, either due to real belief in his identity or because of desire to overthrow Henry and reclaim the throne."

NAKED EDWARD SAVES ISABELLA: "LOVE MADE HIM
http://edwardthesecond.blogspo t.nl/2016/01/naked-edward-ii- saves-isabella-love.html
"The author of the Flores Historiarum, whom I always think of as Not Edward II's Greatest Fan, claims that Edward armed himself against his cousin and that his fear of Thomas was the reason for his cancellation of the Scottish campaign that was meant to take place that summer. [1] Whether that's true or not, Edward was concerned enough about Thomas's hostility to summon Isabella to him in York after John of Eltham's birth, fearing for her safety."

"Lord Badlesmere was away at the time, having left his wife Margaret in charge of the castle. When the latter adamantly refused the Queen admittance, fighting broke out outside the castle between Isabella's guards and the garrison.[10]Edward mobilised his own faction and placed Leeds castle under siege, giving Isabella the Great Seal and control of the royal Chancery"

EDWARD II DIGS DITCHES

"Edward was criticised by various fourteenth-century chroniclers for enjoying the company of the lowborn, which is borne out by other evidence: he went on holiday for an entire month in the autumn of 1315 with "a great concourse of common people"; he drank in Newcastle with an unnamed but evidently lowborn woman in 1310; he dined privately in 1325 with a group of carpenters, and a group of sailors on another occasion; he went to a forge to talk to his blacksmith John Cole in 1323; he spent what seems like excessive amounts of time in the 1320s chatting to fishermen and often bought fish from them "with his own hands."

"Edward's most famous aquatic activity came in the autumn of 1315, when he spent an entire month on holiday at Fen Ditton near Cambridge, with the company he liked best, "a great concourse of simple people"."
