The B.C. government has given funding to a Burnaby recycling brand whose work diverts automotive plastic waste from landfills and turns it into new products.
Reclaim Plastics is a plastics processing company that works with large entities like businesses and municipalities to remove plastics from the waste system. Within the automotive realm, most of the plastic that ends up on Reclaim's site is from the collision industry, which feeds materials from the ~850 car accidents that happen in the province each day.

As part of the CleanBC Plastics Action Fund , Reclaim Plastics has received $667,000 to help "scale up operations and allow it to recycle other automotive plastics that have not been abstracted to date."
How It Works: Vehicle recycling

The company is currently only skimming the surface, as some 80 million pounds of automotive plastic end up in B.C. landfills each year. For reference, the heaviest object ever weighed (according to Guinness) is the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which squashes the scales at 4.86 million lbs.
We contacted Reclaim Plastics partner Al Boflo to get some more details on what car parts are being recycled and how.
Exactly what car parts are recyclable?
Cars these days contain at least 400 to 500 pounds of plastic, an amount which continues to increase for fuel efficiency and to create lighter vehicles. There are about 5 different types of plastic used within cars, including polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, TPO, PVC, and ABS. Most of the plastics can be recycled, but the challenge of separation, sorting, and cleansing of contaminants is a different matter altogether.
Some parts that we regularly recycle include bumpers, spoilers, valences, fender trim moldings, headlight & taillight casings and covers, wheel liners, and bed liners. Interior trim such as trim panels, dash panel trim, and consoles can also be recycled, but are not removed very often. Same goes with engine bay trim, including engine covers and air baffles.

Are all brands equally recyclable? How about types of vehicles (SUV vs car vs pickup)?
Yes, all plastic parts that can be separated (i.e. the plastic polymers are the same) can be recycled. The caveat is that you can't take a mixed bunch of plastic parts that variously contain, PP, ABS, PVC, and PC for instance, and recycle them together. In order to recycle, the components need to be separated by polymer. And sorting black plastic – which most car parts are – is extremely challenging.
How exactly is the plastic recycled?
We first sort the plastics by polymer. We then decontaminate the parts. For example, in the case of a TPO bumper, contaminants may include metal parts, clips, sensor brackets made from different polymers, and/or an ABS grill, which is incompatible with TPO. Once this part is clean of all contaminants, we then group it with other TPO parts and put this through a shredding and granulating process to create "re-grind flake." We then work with partners who extrude and further process this material.
What is it made into?
These items get a second life if a variety of products. It may end up in piping, or as planters, or even as plastic pallets.
How about car parts?
Manufacturers, including the vehicle manufacturers, are looking for ways to re-incorporate the material back into car parts. But it comes down to volume available, purity, and shipping costs.
Ed Tretwold has sold hundreds of foreign car manuals to buyers all over the world on the internet.
Where do you source the car plastic from?
A lot of the auto plastics we recycle come from the collision industry. We offer a pick-up service for the body shops and service shops across B.C., and select parts of Alberta. We are also working on a solution for shops in Washington State.
We are also trying to work with metal recyclers to be able to recycle the automotive plastics before the vehicle gets shredded. Once the car gets shredded, the plastics in an end-of-life vehicle get mixed with fabric, rubber, glass, and sometimes ugly stuff like mercury. All of that ends up becoming Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR), which is landfilled. B.C. generates 80 million pounds of plastic that becomes ASR each year, so it's a big environmental problem to solve.
What can communities do to improve the situation and divert more auto plastics?
Vancouver has been doing pretty well. Metro Vancouver has banned the disposal of auto parts in the landfill, which helps encourage more recycling. Body shops generally want to do the right thing, and many shops hate seeing this plastic enter the landfill. However, it is expensive to do this work, and it would be nice to see if there was some support for the bodyshops to help them offset the costs of recycling.
We hope the insurance industry will help support their efforts to recycle. After all, we pay for insurance in case of an accident, and, in a collision, the insurance company is paying for the replacement parts to be replaced. Shouldn't they also be helping to ensure the end-of-life part is responsibly recycled, rather than turfed in the landfill?

Rationale in the Use of EDTA Chelation Therapy for my Patients with Multiple Chronic Diseases
Dr Rita Ellithorpe July 15, 2020
By Rita R. Ellithorpe, M.D. | July 7th, 2020
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP) tell us that 6 in 10 adults in the U.S. have chronic disease (29). They site heart disease, cancer, chronic lung disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
Wikipedia defines degenerative disease as "the result of a continuous process based on degenerative cell changes, affecting tissues or organs which will increasingly deteriorate over time."
Fortunately, we now have another tool as physicians to help slow this continuous process. The tool is chelation therapy, a man-made amino acid, calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Its electro chemical structure and charge attracts toxic heavy metals, transition metals that have the opposite charge. The complex is then primarily excreted in the urine. Lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium are typical examples.
EDTA chelation therapy was first approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1953 to treat lead poisoning in both pediatric and adult patients.
EDTA chelation therapy is normally administered intravenously each week for 20-40 sessions.
Shortly after the U.S. F.D.A. approved EDTA for metal poisoning removal, physicians began to observe a medical serendipity during treatment of their patients with improved perfusion of their cardiovascular diseases. Clark and Mosher published on this observation reporting 19 of 20 patients receiving EDTA for their lead poisoning were having less angina (17) in 1955.
Since then, physicians have published and shared these perfusion benefits with their colleagues worldwide to present. Innumerable articles have been published with exponential frequency and strength.
The 2008 National Health Statistics Report stated that 111,000 people used chelation in 2007 (13)(24). Annually that would be over 1.5 million in the last ten years. The American College for the Advancement in Medicine founded in 1972 trains hundreds of physicians in the use of EDTA chelation therapy each year.
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death globally. An estimated 17.9 million people died from CVD's in 2016, representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths 85% are due to heart attack and stroke, according to W.H.O. 17 May 2017.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that 647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year (National Vital Statistics Reports vol. 68, number 6 June 24 2019).
Low levels of environmental lead exposure is an important but largely overlooked risk factor for CVD mortality in the USA. Bruce P Lanphear, 2018, reported the population attributable fraction of concentration of lead in blood for all cause mortality was 18%, which is 412,000 deaths annually (4).
Andy Menke, MPH reported (28) "environmental lead exposures remain a significant determinant of cardiovascular mortality in the general population, constituting a major public health problem."
Chronic lead exposure from the environment is 95% deposited in the bone with an estimated half life of over 30 years. By middle age our bones begin to demineralize, and we can become auto intoxicated from our stored cortical bone lead. Marc G Weisskopf's Bone Lead Concentration and death from all causes reported "that bone lead, but not blood lead was associated with an increased mortality rate that was more apparent for CVD and specifically between patella lead and ischemic heart disease." (28)
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) reports on "The ATSDR for 2019 that Arsenic is #1, lead is #2, mercury is #3 and cadmium is #7 out of 275 toxins."
The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) sec 104 (i) requires ATSDR and the EPA "to prepare a list in order of priority of substances… which are determined to pose the most significant potential threat to human health due to their known or suspected toxicities."
On November 4, 2012, the (TACT) Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, investigators reported publicly the first large-scale, 1,708 patients, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evidence "that EDTA Chelation Therapy significantly reduced cardiac events in stable post-myocardial infarction patients."(6)(1)
The science to date supports seeing toxic heavy metals as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor we can safely moderate. Solenkova et al reported "There is strong evidence that xenobiotic metal contamination is linked to atherosclerotic disease and is a modifiable risk factor." (13) In this article they show "urine lead may be used to assess lead exposure and for monitoring of therapy for lead toxicity."
The new TACT-2 (6) seeks to replicate the 2012 findings (1) and is currently ongoing. In this study they are also focusing on mechanisms where heavy metal toxins injure vascular systems. Here also they are using urine lead pre and post chelation infusion testing as a valid instrument to assess lead exposure (2).
The urine collection study typically screens for 20 heavy metal toxins. These studies showed following EDTA chelation infusion the excretion of lead increased 3,830% and cadmium was 514% over baseline. This was also demonstrated by Arenas et al (21), Zenith H Alam (3) and Byung-kook Lee (22).
Furthermore, we are exposed to multiple environmental toxins regularly (7). One only needs to recall Flint Michigan's lead pipes contaminating thousands of peoples drinking water in 2015 and the IQ damage done to their children (31).
There are interactions to consider as multiple toxins are affecting our health and mortality. Dong-soon Bae (23) reports "these metals often occur together, such as arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury" and "as the mixture concentration increased, a trend of additivity changed to synergistic cytotoxicity… they also mediate development of additional pathologic conditions in individuals exposed chronically to low levels."
Rajiv Chowdhury et al (5) showed "there was a linear dose response relationship for arsenic, lead, cadmium with cardiovascular outcomes… these findings reinforce the importance of environmental toxic metal ions in cardiovascular risk, beyond the roles of conventional behavioral risk factors."
Mechanistically, EDTA chelation functions as an antioxidant reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) thus reducing lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide formation enhanced, glutathione function enhanced, and many enzyme functions critical to mitochondrial function for energy production of ATP are enhanced. It is also known to have a mild anticoagulation effect.
See the report by N D Vaziri et al on the Effect of Lead on Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in Coronary Endothelial Cells (25) and S.J. Stohs on the Oxidative Mechanisms in the Toxicity of Metal Ions (26).
Most now agree that hypertension and lead chronic toxicity is a modifiable and treatable risk factor (14). Here the author N D Vaziri found "chronic lead exposure can trigger a cascade of events that may culminate in the development of hypertension and CVD, by promoting oxidative stress and inflammation, by disturbing NO signaling pathways." He also tells us "in recent years, increasing evidence has emerged pointing to the role of oxidative stress as a major mediator of lead-induced hypertension."
"Lead and other metal ions deplete glutathione producing reactive oxygen species producing lipid peroxidation, DNA damage, and altered calcium and sulfhydryl homeostasis." S J Stohs (26).
"In diabetics it has been found that antioxidants, or transition metal chelators (like EDTA) can ameliorate retinopathy and neuropathy suggesting that oxidative stress contributes to these conditions… as the glycation theory of diabetic complications unfolded, metal catalyzed glucose auto-oxidation and oxidation of glycated residues emerged." (27) reported Vincent M. Monnier.
Many of the glucose-associated oxidative modifications have been attributed to the Fenton Chemistry carried out by transition metals.
There is a risk for chronic renal disease in patients without diabetes from environmental lead exposure. Ja-Liang Lin, M.D. reported "Repeated chelation therapy may improve renal function and slow the progression of renal insufficiency." (32)
Chiara Foglieni stated "EDTA administration resulted in the preservation of both function and histological parameters of rat kidneys."(33) This was after imposing ischemic injury to the kidneys compared to controls. She continued to state "This data provides evidence that EDTA treatment is able to protect rat kidneys from ischemic damage possibly through the stimulation of NO production."
Note must be made of the heavy metal toxin gadolinium used in imaging studies. There is brain deposition and other tissues. Kidney deposition and chronic inflammatory fibrosis has been reported as nephrotic systemic fibrosis (NSF). Tomonori Kanda stated "a history of exposure to gadolinium-based contrast agents, and this condition was named nephrogenic systemic fibrosis." (10)
Gadolinium's neurotoxicity is well reviewed by Alessandro Fulgenzi where he states "Oxidative injury is linked to Pb-induced neurotoxicity and chronic exposure to Pb can induce cognitive dysfunction." (8) He does an exhaustive review of all known causes and related mechanisms involved in direct neurotoxicity, including the other metals arsenic, cadmium and mercury. He also uses the EDTA urine collection pre and post treatment as validated tools in monitoring toxicity burden and reduction correlating to clinical improvement.
Th Vorvolakos wrote an article entitled "There Is No Safe Threshold for Lead Exposure: A Literature Review" where he stated "lead affects the cholinergic, dopaminergic and gloutamergic systems, thus intervening in the normal function of neurotransmission." (34) Lead as an environmental toxin increases neurologic and psychiatric morbidity. Should all military, police and firefighters be encouraged to learn, track, and reduce their likely burden from their work exposure? This needs to be addressed.
It would appear EDTA for lead reduction in chronic exposure has been well studied over 50 years.
With worldwide reporting and use in clearly millions of people over 50 years, it appears when given by trained physicians, it is very safe.
It also appears to have many clinical applications covering the six chronic degenerative diseases. This appears to be largely related to the antioxidant sparing effect of EDTA chelation. It is enhancing microcirculation throughout the body possibly improving oxygenation with better perfusion, literally from head to toe.
It makes sense to reduce any toxic. substance from our total body burden.
When you go to the internet as any patient might do and type in "What is Chelation Therapy" it offered "WebMD" entitled "What is chelation therapy?". There it states "when metals like lead, mercury, iron and arsenic build up in your body, they can be toxic. Chelation therapy is a treatment that uses medicine to remove these metals so they don't make you sick."
Susan Ipaktchian wrote an article for Stanford University School of Medicine as director of print and web communications. Office of Communications & Public Affairs News Center November 24, 2008 "14 drugs identified as most urgently needing study for off-lavel use, a Stanford Professor says." In it she stated "a 1985 study found that of the 100 most common uses of marketed drugs, 31 of those uses did not have approval from the FDA. And a study that Stanford led in 2006 showed that of the estimated 21 percent of off-label drug uses in 2001, 73 percent did not have strong scientific support… Once a drug is approved and on the market, though, physicians may choose to prescribe it for any condition."
EDTA chelation is being used to remove lead. This is what it was FDA approved for. This is not a mechanism question. The science of today, not 1953, supports a broader definition of lead toxicity or burden.
This tool EDTA has promise to impact favorably chronic degenerative disease today. We need FDA approval today to help patients with the "right to try" it covered by insurance as far too many cannot afford it.
As Dr. Gervasio A Lamas principal investigator for the TACT Trial stated May 26, 2015 in his article "Chelation Therapy – a new look at an old treatment for heart disease, Particularly in Diabetics… We learned the results of our work. Did chelation work to reduce heart events in a vulnerable population with a prior heart attack? It turns out that it did. And it was safe." (13)

Home Sports Market "We are one of the most gender-equal organisations you"ll see today" -...
FeaturedSports Market
Not just the strong female ambassadors we hire, Puma as an organisation as well is probably one of the most gender equal organisations that you will see today
By Team Bridge
PUMA Sports Brand Ambassadors Virat Kohli, Mary kom, Sunil Chhetri and Dutee Chand
Puma is undoubtedly one of the biggest sports brand in India right now. The German brand has achieved quite some success in the Indian market with consumers going completely crazy to own apparels of the brand.
Since entering the Indian market more than a decade back in 2006, Puma has gone on to establish it as one of the fiercest competitors in the Indian sports market. At a time when the market was going through a slowdown, Puma not only managed a 23% revenue growth in FY19 but also increased the sales gap with its competitors to over 14%.
A large part of Puma's success in India has been due to some of their highly creative and successful marketing campaigns like Propah Lady which featured some strong female ambassadors like Mary Kom, Dutee Chand and others.
The Propah Lady is a marketing campaign which was released by Puma India in 2019. The campaign goes up against traditional, stereotypical idea of proper women and tries to reconceptualise it.
Speaking about the strong female presence in their marketing campaigns, Shreya Sachdev, the Head of Marketing and Strategic Initiatives of Puma India in a webinar with The Bridge said, "Not just the strong female ambassadors we hire, Puma as an organisation as well is probably one of the most gender equal organisations that you will see today, and the reason behind it is that unlike a lot of other organisations we don't really chase gender ratio as a goal. So, I don't think anyone at Puma will say let's hire more women, because that's one of the worst things you can do for gender ratio."
Shreya asserted that it was an early realisation about the diversity in opinions women bring to the table. This, according to her, helped Puma a great deal in maintaining the gender ratio in the workspace.
"I think we at Puma realised early on that diversity of perspectives has been and will continue to be critical to our success. If you need to ensure that diversity of thought process then you need to ensure that the ecosystem your employees are working in is extremely accommodating and flexible which brings out the best in every employee you hire. We probably have more than 40% gender ratio in corporate, the leadership team is evenly split and you will see a lot of women in leadership roles that are traditionally thought to be not suitable for women," she said.
The Marketing and Strategic Initiative Head maintained that this gender neutral working environment is what reflects brightly in their marketing campaigns like the Propah Lady and others.
"I think this reflects in our campaigns as well, because you have a bunch of extremely smart, hardworking, capable women who are sitting in a room and saying what we want to say to all the women out there, what we stand for as a brand. I think that really reflected on the Propah Lady campaign and how relevant it was. I mean, we all women are extremely tired of hearing women need to be empowered and I think we have realised that women exist in place that is inherently unequal and yet continue to go out there and do brilliant things."
"Mary Kom, Dutee Chand overcame a lot of odds to reach where they are"
Shreya added that campaigns like Propah Lady is just their way of celebrating women, who despite all the odds they face go on to achieve great things every day.
"The likes of Mary and Dutee have overcome lot of odds to reach where they are and nobody had to tell them to be empowered, they just went out there and did their thing. It was just about that, it was celebrating these women who despite all odds go out there and achieve great things every day. I think that's what made it successful. We as a brand spend time internalising the messages we want to give out to our consumers."
Not only social impact, a campaign like that also helps Puma to leverage their sales as well. According to Shreya, after the Propah Lady campaign Puma witnessed an overnight increase in the percentage of women followers on social media and also led to increase in women's business department.
"Overnight we saw a huge jump in percentage of followers on social, we also saw contribution of women's business go up for us. So in all plains, I think, it was a very successful campaign."
Women have been one of the most important driving forces behind the success of Puma in India. With a strong, creative team working behind the scenes and a very loyal customer base; it won't be any surprise if Puma, much like their ambassadors Mary Kom and Dutee Chand, soon start shattering some records in the Indian market.

The User State Migration Tool (USMT) is a command line utility program developed by Microsoft that allows users comfortable with scripting languages to transfer files and settings between Windows PCs. This task is also performed by Windows Easy Transfer, which was designed for general users but then discontinued with the release of Windows 10, where they instead partnered with Laplink. Starting with Windows 8, many settings and data are now being synchronized in cloud services via a Microsoft Account and OneDrive. USMT allows a high-volume, automated deployment of files and settings, and is also useful in migrating user settings and files during OS upgrades. Because USMT has high complexity and a command line interface, there have been several attempts to provide access to its useful functionality by creating GUI wrappers for it. 32-bit to 64-bit migrations are supported, but 64-bit to 32-bit are not.

USMT 3.0.1 is publicly available. 3.0.2 is a limited private bugfix release on Microsoft Connect for a few affected customers. USMT 4 is included in the Windows Automated Installation Kit. USMT 5 is included in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).

Overview
USMT consists of two separate programs. Scanstate.exe scans the source PC for the data and settings and stores it in a  file. Loadstate migrates the data and settings from the  file onto the target PC.

What to transfer is specified as commandline switches in the configuration XML files migapp.xml, migsys.xml, miguser.xml and other optional Config.xml files. Which Users (and their data) to transfer is controlled by other switches.

An example of a "load data on to PC" command could look like this (in one line – newlines and indents added here for readability):

 loadstate "Y:\temp\Migrationstorage\WS_toolshop1"
           /i:"Y:\temp\Migrationstorage\WS_toolshop1\migapp.xml"
           "Y:\temp\Migrationstorage\WS_toolshop1\migsys.xml"
           /i:"Y:\temp\Migrationstorage\WS_toolshop1\miguser.xml"
           /ue:*\* /ui:gutte /ui:Lotta /lac /lae
           /progress:"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\USMTprog.log"
           /l:"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\USMTscan.log"..
           /c

The "Scanstate" command is similar in complexity. Both commands require strict adherence to syntax.

Supported OSes

What USMT transfers

USMT transfers
 Selected User Accounts
 Files and folders
 E-mail messages, settings, and contacts
 Photos, music, and videos
 Windows settings
 Program data files and settings
 Internet settings

GUI wrappers for USMT
Because of the complexity of USMT command-line input, there have been third-party attempts to create GUI front-ends for it. These include (but are not limited to):

 Workstation Migration Assistant (open-source with source code posted on GitHub)
 Super Grate (focus on remote migration: open-source with source code posted on GitHub)
 M.U.S.T. - Move User's Stuff Tool (free USMT GUI that encapsulates most features of USMT4 plus more)
 USMT XML Builder (focus on editing USMT XML template files)
 USMTGUI (Use advanced USMT features - simply. A "one window GUI" for USMT.)

Both Workstation Migration Assistant and USMT XML Builder are out of date but there are up to date commercial GUI's for USMT.

You need to keep the skin around the feeding tube dry and clean. This helps prevent soreness and infection. The mouth also needs to be cleansed, even though food isn't taken through it.
Wash your hands. Wet a soft cloth or gauze with warm, soapy water.
Gently wipe the skin around the feeding tube. Also wipe the bolster and the base of the feeding tube.
Rinse well with clear, warm water.
Gently lift the bolster just enough to get a cotton swab under it. Be careful not to pull on the feeding tube.
Check for redness, swelling, bleeding, or leakage around the opening.
Dip a cotton swab in warm water and gently clean under the bolster. Pat the skin dry.
Apply a protective skin barrier or antibacterial ointment if your healthcare provider tells you to.
Gently push the bolster back against the skin.
Give the feeding tube a gentle 1/4 turn. This helps keep the bumper from sticking to the inside of the stomach.
Brush the teeth or dentures at least once daily with a soft toothbrush.
Wipe the inside of the mouth with a damp washcloth.
Apply a lip balm to keep the lips moist.

However, the hierarchy within the Mercedes team were at loggerheads as to whether they spoke to Vettel about joining their team.
"When I do get asked the Ferrari question it's coming more from fans and media, and not necessarily from Ferrari", he said.
While it's a no-brainer for Ferrari to keep the guy who's now leading the F1 world driver's championship, there was some speculation that Vettel might only opt for a one-year contract in hopes of nabbing a better deal in 2019, NBC Sports notes.
Ferrari clinched its last drivers' title in 2007 - when Raikkonen won in his first stint there - and its last constructors' title the year after. "I know he doesn't want to be my team-mate".
Hamilton's third Spa win helped him trim championship leader Vettel's advantage over him to seven points, with eight races left in what is shaping up to be a nail-biting finish.
"I have always admired him and I still do today".
The safety vehicle stayed out for four laps, which was too long for Hamilton's liking, and he used an expletive of his own to complain.
"It works [with Valtteri] so I don't think any of the bosses or any individual in the team is unhappy with what is now in place so I find it hard to believe they would change that".
Hamilton made a good start to the race on the long climb up to Eau Rouge, but Max Verstappen's hopes ended on lap 8 when his Red Bull lost power.
Raikkonen was confirmed as retaining his racing seat by Ferrari for 2018 earlier this week.
Hamilton, a victor twice before at Spa, is now 14 points down on the German in the championship chase. "In the end it was getting better, we made quite big steps", Bottas said.
The three-time F1 champion was already ahead when he went even faster with a final lap for Mercedes, but Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel limited the damage with a fine lap to join Hamilton on the front row. Likewise, team head Toto Wolff insists that Mercedes and Vettel never got to any kind of contract negotiation.
"You could see exiting Turn 1 I was all over Lewis. Mentally I'm ready for whatever comes and the team have shown, particularly in the last race, just how unified we are". I think for us, for myself, I was not happy.
Vettel, 30, had said only on Thursday that news of his whereabouts for next season and beyond would not be announced within the next fortnight.

Kumar also said IMA chapters in Meerut zone have been alerted and asked to ensure adequate and prompt medical care to the injured. A team of Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) has been sent to the accident site to ascertain if there is a terror link to the derailment.
Federal Police spokesman Jonathan Pfunde also confirmed some details of the incident and said the attacker had been "neutralized". RTBF reported the suspect was a Somali man who is alleged to have shouted "Allahu Akbar" - God is greater - before the attack.

Hector Ruiz, identified last week as one of the sources of inside information in the Galleon hedge fund scandal, resigned Monday from Globalfoundries, a company he helped create when he ran Advanced Micro Devices.
A terse announcement posted on Globalfoundries' Web site said Ruiz is taking a voluntary leave of absence and will formally depart the company on Jan. 4.
The announcement said he submitted his resignation in September, effective in January. A source familiar with the matter said he decided to leave in January because the company was doing well and to make room for new leadership to take over. The announcement of his January departure was accelerated after the events of last week, the source said.
Ruiz, 63, was identified by the Wall Street Journal as the "AMD executive" who, according to a federal complaint, gave New Castle hedge fund operative Danielle Chiesi a running account last year of AMD's negotiations to create Globalfoundries.
Ruiz, who became AMD's CEO in 2000, left that post in July 2008, but retained the position of chairman and executive chairman of AMD until March. He became chairman of Globalfoundries when it began operations this year.
A criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, alleges that Chiesi and Galleon hedge fund co-founder Raj Rajaratnam bought thousands of shares of AMD and other stocks armed with information from an AMD executive, an IBM executive and a McKinsey consultant.
Chiesi, Rajaratnam and four others have been charged with securities fraud and conspiracy for buying and selling stocks based on inside information from several sources. Among the stocks were Silicon Valley tech icons Intel, Google and AMD.
Ruiz was not named in the federal complaint and he has not been charged. The complaint does not indicate the AMD executive was aware that Chiesi and Rajaratnam were trading in AMD stock.
He was not available for comment Monday.
Ruiz is resigning from a post that paid lavishly and didn't seem to have many duties, according to analysts. He was a non-voting, non-director board chairman of Globalfoundries.
He had a two-year employment contract that paid an annual base salary of $1.15 million and a performance bonus of 200 to 400 percent of his base salary. His employment agreement contains provisions for paying him a lump sum of salary and bonuses remaining in his two-year term, should he leave before that term ends. But that is only if he is let go for cause or resigns for "reasonable cause," as defined by the agreement. The language of the agreement does not appear to apply to what little is known about his departure.
"Ruiz's resignation is likely to have little to no impact on AMD the product company, and I would expect it to have minimal impact on GlobalFoundries given the nature of Ruiz's position,"said Stacy Rasgon, analyst with Sanford Bernstein said.
While he has been criticized for AMD's performance while he was at the company's helm, Ruiz salvaged AMD by putting together the deal that created Globalfoundries, Rasgon said. That took a crushing short-term debt off AMD's books and saved it from billions in capital expenditures needed to support a semiconductor fabrication plant of its own, he said.
Ruiz was also awarded a $3 million bonus on completion of the deal that created Globalfoundaries.


I can still remember the smells of my first garden back home in small town Indiana. I walked into the garden, saltshaker in hand. I was heading to the big boy tomatoes. My bare feet remember the feel of the soft rich soil. My whole being remembers the first bites of fresh tomato.
It didn't stop there. Next, I went to the sweet corn and ate two or three of those raw. One last stop in the carrot section, and that was a meal. The grit on the carrots was simply a condiment. I was a boy who lived outdoors as much as possible, in creeks, in trees or in old barns a few miles away. That was how I started to value the land, its bounty and my part in sustaining them.
That was my family garden then. I've had a garden or a farm ever since, except for a couple of years living out of a backpack, but that last bit is another story.
This is about my route to farming. It is a little circuitous.
I learned about organic gardening and healthy eating from my Grandpa, who lived to be just shy of 100. It came naturally with my love for him.
And my mother and grandmother were awesome cooks. I will never forget the late afternoons at the picnic table snapping beans, washing beets and shucking corn.
One of my favorite vegetables is still red beets boiled, peeled and then sautéed in butter and soy sauce. You say you don't like beets? I challenge you to try this method. It was kind of an everyday celebration of food. This cooking also was part of family life during World War II, eating out of their Victory Garden.
My next influence came from studying energy-efficient building and solar heat at a summer program during my training as a carpenter. I decided to take an extra class on natural gardening and farming. In retrospect, I must have subconsciously been planning the move to farming from building. It certainly wasn't in my career path at the time.
During my two years as a kind of wandervogel, I stumbled into an opportunity to study at a horticulture program. I was hired to build a forcing house, which speeds the development of plants, for the school. When we finished, I struck a deal to build whatever they needed for free and attend the lectures in exchange. That was a great barter for an eager young man.
The teacher was Alan Chadwick, an English master horticulturist and, in my mind, a genius. He could lecture uninterrupted and with no notes for 30 to 40 minutes on any plant, vegetable, herb, fruit or tree. It would include all the cultural requirements, ancient lore as well as harvest and use details. I found an old picture of me at a lecture with my mouth hanging open and a fly on my tongue. I'm partly kidding. You can't see the fly.
I moved on from there knowing how to build seed flats, tool racks, chicken coops and green-houses. Of course, the garden lectures stayed in my mind for years to come. I moved to Virginia Beach ready to build solar houses.
After the 1980 election, solar business failed due to a change of policies. In the run-up to that time, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, a fan of big agriculture, helped many farmers to the bankruptcy door. Politics matter because they result in policy. That put me off of farming.
I became a pretty good carpenter and raised a family on that. It was satisfying to be a good craftsman, but it didn't satisfy my interest in sustainability.
Somewhere in there a dream was born of starting a farm and compost business. I attended a conference put on by the Virginia Association of Biological Farming in Charlottesville, still a very good resource and conference.
I met George Leidig of Autrusa Enterprises there. He sold compost turners and spading machines. More, importantly he hosted workshops on the Controlled Microbial Composting system of composting.
During the first weeklong workshop, I lit up like a Christmas tree, and I had a farm within a year. I was now living closer to my ideals. This is when I first learned of the intricate, marvelous complexity of soil microbiology. Soil is so much more than a substrate for a few inputs, such as fertilizer.
The Leubkes family, who presented the classes, were pioneers on the subject and have won awards in Europe for their work. We may have caught up with them here in theory, at least in some circles, but not in practice. I am working on that.
All the while, I also learned about the connection of how food is grown and nutrition. I looked into all kinds of diets, too, although in an admittedly less intensive manner than I approach farming and garden work. I still love to eat good fresh food, although a good donut or burger from just about anywhere will satisfy on occasion.
I have farmed organically for 22 years, and I promote these ideas in my consulting work and speaking engagements, as well as the columns I write here about soil health and sustainable practices.
The influences which form my views include maximum health and wellness to all, hard work ethic from small town Indiana, soil science from the latest research, the pure joy of good eating and the beauty of a well-tended farm rich in practices that celebrate biodiversity.
From the first fresh salted tomato to the present, I still love the soil, the landscape and what we as farmers coax from them.

theadmin January 2, 2020 Awards, Press Release, Tours, TV Appearance No Comment
PLATINUM-selling Big Loud Records star Morgan Wallen wrapped up 2019 burning supernova hot, continuing to accelerate his meteoric rise toward the Country-music stratosphere.
Riding a rocket of commercial, critical and live-performance success, Wallen's last 12 months have been record year on multiple fronts – and a signal of what's to come in 2020.
In December, Wallen finished his acclaimed role on Luke Combs' massive BEER NEVER BROKE MY HEART TOUR, which closed with a SOLD OUT two-night stand at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and found fans arriving early to see Wallen's electrifying direct-support set all over the country.
Meanwhile, the proven hitmaker tapped into another gear on the charts, landing his multi-week #1 "Whiskey Glasses" at the top of both Billboard's year end Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. Billboard also placed Wallen at seventh overall on the 2019 Top Artists list, and fifth in the male category.
On top of earning multiple new certifications from the RIAA – GOLD distinctions for "The Way I Talk," on-fire Diplo collaboration "Heartless," and debut album IF I KNOW ME, plus PLATINUM hardware for "Up Down" (featuring Florida Georgia Line) and "Whiskey Glasses" – Wallen was also featured on a variety of high-profile "Best Of" lists.
Rolling Stone Country named "Whiskey Glasses" #8 on its rundown of the 25 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Year – calling it "one of those songs that could have been a country hit in virtually any era" – while Sounds Like Nashville listed the track as one of its 20 Best Singles of 2019.
Likewise, PEOPLE has placed the emerging superstar on its coveted Ones to Watch list, and he earned major national attention from The Associated Press, The Washington Post, Genius and more. Wallen also scored network TV performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Good Morning America and TODAY in 2019 – not to mention a CMA Awards nomination for New Artist of the Year and a Breakthrough Video of the Year nod at the CMT Music Awards.
Aiming even higher in the year to come, Wallen will launch his headlining MONSTER ENERGY OUTBREAK TOUR PRESENTS: MORGAN WALLEN'S WHISKEY GLASSES ROADSHOW on January 2 in Grand Rapids, MI, and then hit the road as direct support on Jason Aldean's WE BACK TOUR starting January 30 in Columbia, SC. His current single, "Chasin' You," continues to chase his third consecutive #1 at Country radio, now revealing the mullet-sporting maverick's tender-troubadour side nationwide.

Q: JavaScript fallback for vh CSS unit not working in iOS 7 I've got a section on a website that uses the vh CSS unit for its height when the browser is landscape and <600px. Its done like below.
#section1 {
    height:600px;
    width:100%;
}

@media (max-height: 599px) and (orientation: landscape) {
    #section1 {
        height:100vh;
    }
}

This works fine, but iOS 7 doesn't work with the vh unit. So for this I was trying to implement a JavaScript work around. I've managed to get together the following, but I am struggling to see where to tell it only to kick in at < 600px on a landscape device like my media query above does, any ideas?
// IOS7 VH FIX
var userAgent = window.navigator.userAgent;
var isMobileSafari = /(iPhone|iPod|iPad).+AppleWebKit/i.test(userAgent) && (function() {
        var iOSversion = userAgent.match(/OS (\d)/);
        // viewport units work fine in mobile Safari and webView on iOS 8+
        return iOSversion && iOSversion.length>1 && parseInt(iOSversion[1]) < 8;
    })();
if (isMobileSafari) {
    var setSliderHeight = function() {
        $("#section1").css('height', Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0) + 'px');
    };
    $( window ).on( "orientationchange", function( event ) {

Interview: Sarah Kapit
We're excited to chat today with Sarah Kapit, author of the Schneider Family Honor book Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen and The Many Mysteries of the Finkel Family, publishing today!
Your first book, Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen, is written in epistolary format. The Many Mysteries of the Finkel Family is told in dual point of view. What challenges as an author did you face transitioning between these two distinct story-telling methods?
There are definitely challenges to both approaches. With Vivy Cohen, the challenge was to maintain tension and give readers a sense of immediacy even though the story was told through letters, recounting events that had already occurred. With the Finkel Family, I had to be attentive to a different set of issues. I wanted the two sisters' stories to intersect, but I also had to give them independent storylines.
I actually ended up bringing up the epistolary format back a bit. My editor and I wanted the girls' perspectives to be distinct. Early on in the book, one of the sisters (Lara) starts keeping a notebook. Dana, my editor, suggested that Lara's notebook could be incorporated more into the text. So starting around chapter four, we see an excerpt from Lara's notebook every time we switch into her POV. I guess I just really like writing epistolary!
As authors present characters who represent their own marginalized identities, they are often faced with confronting stereotypes that readers have internalized. In writing both Jewish and autistic main characters, what challenges did you face in staying true to yourself while creating accurate characters?
Really great question! On some level, I think the solution is simply to write nuanced, in-depth characters. Stereotypes depend on dehumanization and reducing people to tired, one-dimensional tropes. Presenting complex characters, and multiple, diverse characters within a group, is the most effective way to counter that.
In writing, I was always mindful of the fact that Lara and Caroline are autistic and Jewish, but I also saw them first and foremost as individual characters in their own right. I think I was able to show how varied autistic people are. Oftentimes we're stereotyped as math and science nerds, but Lara is obsessed with mystery novels and Caroline is a visual artist. Both experience deep emotions and care about other people, which runs counter to stereotypes.
They do have some body movements and a few other traits that may be considered more stereotypical, but I believe that if you look at their characters in full, they are so much more than the tired autism stereotypes. To be honest, I was a little worried that some readers might think they're not autistic enough because stereotypes have so distorted people's views of what autistic people are like.
In writing Jewish characters, I take a similar approach. A lot of Jewish stereotypes are frankly so nasty that they're not even worth engaging with, really. But on the less toxic end of things, I think Jewish people are often depicted in media as being either ultra-Orthodox or completely secular. That's not my experience, so I wrote the Finkels to have religious practices similar to my own. I also really wanted them to be of both Ashkenazi and Sephardic heritage, which reflects my own family. I don't think I've ever seen a family like that in kidlit, so it was exciting to do.
As someone who was obsessed with the Encyclopedia Brown books growing up, I related very much to Lara's sleuthing aspirations. Did you dream of detective work as a kid or is that something you created for the Finkel sisters?
I mostly enjoyed reading about mysteries more than actually participating in them. Like Lara, I read a ton of mystery novels. I started reading Agatha Christie in middle school. Alas, I knew that actual sleuthing was not for me, so I did not attempt to really start snooping around.
Your book made me hungry! What is your favorite dish to recommend to readers who are interested in the Jewish cuisine that the Finkel family prepares?
Ooh! Well, one of my all-time favorite Jewish comfort foods is kasha varneshkas. I also love spanikopita, also known as bourekas, which is a Sephardic food I grew up with.
You have mentored writers through several programs. What advice would you give to young aspiring authors?
Read in your category, and read recent books. That will give you a sense of what sort of books are being published in today's market.
Also, experiment with what writing methods work for you. I have found that outlining generally isn't helpful for me, so I don't really do it. There's a lot of writing advice out there, but there are many ways to write a good book. If someone says they know the only way to do it, they're wrong.
Visit Sarah at https://www.sarahkapit.com/
Fans of the Penderwicks and the Vanderbeekers, meet the Finkel family in this middle grade novel about two autistic sisters, their detective agency, and life's most consequential mysteries.
When twelve-year-old Lara Finkel starts her very own detective agency, FIASCCO (Finkel Investigation Agency Solving Consequential Crimes Only), she does not want her sister, Caroline, involved. She and Caroline don't have to do everything together. But Caroline won't give up, and when she brings Lara the firm's first mystery, Lara relents, and the questions start piling up.
But Lara and Caroline's truce doesn't last for long. Caroline normally uses her tablet to talk, but now she's busily texting a new friend. Lara can't figure out what the two of them are up to, but it can't be good. And Caroline doesn't like Lara's snooping—she's supposed to be solving other people's crimes, not spying on Caroline! As FIASCCO and the Finkel family mysteries spin out of control, can Caroline and Lara find a way to be friends again?

Decoding Design Speak #1: What does RGB and CMYK mean?
When your designer starts talking about RGB + CMYK, do you simply glaze over and wish they would quit the jargon?
RGB and CMYK are common terms used in the design industry. 'Screen' and 'print' are the client-facing version but your designer may revert to jargon by default. Here's a demystifying article to help you work out what these acronyms mean.
This is the colour language that screens use. The light in a computer monitor is made up of tiny Red, Green and Blue particles and this results in the image on your screen.
If a CMYK version of a logo, for example, is viewed on screen it will more than likely look fluorescent and the colour will be distorted. This is because print language does not view well on screen. But an RGB document will print quite well.
Apple smartphones also have a Retina version of RGB colour language, making the quality of the image on screen crisp and clear.
Printing traditionally uses a 4 colour process and CMYK is the language that a printer uses to determine the colour output for your shiny print project. The final result is a colour formula outputting to print to create your piece of collateral.
As you can see below, Pantone 376CP (a universal colour formula guide) is 54% Cyan 0% Magenta 100% Yellow and 0% Black.


It has been mentioned that video is the future of photography. One only has too look at the rise of YouTube and the death of newspapers to see this. We want video. We want moving pictures. At the very least we want still cameras that shoot 10 frames per second.
One thing that video will never trump still photography on is capturing the essence of something, in one slice of time, in a manner that is immediately evident to any onlooker. Sure, video can capture the essence of many situations in ways that photography can't. It can capture the motion and movement and the progression of events. But to absorb that essence requires one to sit down and watch. It requires effort on the part of the viewer. Photography can relate all you need to know in a single glance, even if the viewer has no intention of actually studying the photograph.
This photo does that for me. It might not have meaning to those who don't know Max, the dog pictured. But to see this picture is to know this dog.


ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Authorities in St. Louis say a firefighter was slightly injured when ammunition exploded during a fire in a vacant house.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that firefighters were called to the two-story, multifamily house around 9 p.m. Friday. The fire department says no one was in the home, located in the Kingsway East neighborhood, at the time.
Officials say that at some point during the fire, heat caused loose ammunition to explode and hit one firefighter in the hand. The firefighter was treated on scene and released.
St. Louis Fire Department spokesman Capt. Garon Mosby says it's common for ammunition to explode when it gets overheated in a fire.


We all love a bit of magic at this time of year but an independent care home group has unlocked the magic animals can bring, all year round, by welcoming a group of husky dogs and their owner to therapy sessions with its residents.
Trust Care Ltd, a privately-owned group of care homes that provides specialist nursing and dementia care to people in South Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire, has seen the positivity and wellbeing that interaction with the gentle dogs has brought to many of its residents.
Known across the UK and indeed the globe, Therapy Huskies is owned by Adrian Ashworth who founded the company after his four huskies behaved very differently when his father and his partner's father were both diagnosed with dementia.
The dogs who travel across the country to visit day centres, children's wards and therapy clinics are continuing to prove the health and wellbeing benefits delivered be interaction with canine friends.
In addition to visits by the huskies Trust Care has created memory rooms, themed areas and has a packed schedule of events at each of its homes for residents to enjoy, alongside the highest levels of care and dedication from their teams.

Q: Custom Barcode scanner, cannot pass back scanned data I am having trouble passing back data that is scanned by my custom barcode scanner.
The data is read successfully and I am able to assign the value to a variable. But I cannot pass the data back to the previous view controller to populate a text view.
I am using this below to pass to my barcode VC to store the data inside it
var barcodeScanData: String = ""

I am using prepare for segue below to
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
    if segue.identifier == "BarcodeScanVC" {
        let desitnationVC = segue.destination as! BarcodeScanVC
        desitnationVC.xyz = barcodeScanData
    }
}

Below here is where I am attempting to send back the data from my custom barcode scanner
var xyz: String = ""

func launchApp(barcodeScan: String) {

        if presentedViewController != nil {
            return
        }

        let alertPrompt = UIAlertController(title: "Barcode Found", message: "\(barcodeScan)", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
        let confirmAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Confirm", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
            let barcodeData = PartsVCDetail()
            self.xyz = barcodeScan
            barcodeData.barcodeScanData = self.xyz
            print(self.xyz, "This is what I am sending")
            print(barcodeData.barcodeScanData, "This is what I am sending it TO" )

            self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
        })

        let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: nil)

        alertPrompt.addAction(confirmAction)
        alertPrompt.addAction(cancelAction)

        present(alertPrompt, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

The two print lines
print(self.waybill, "This is what I am sending")
print(barcodeData.barcodeScanData, "This is what I am sending it TO"

Show me the correct scan data, however, when I use the last line below:
self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)

The data is lost and I see an empty value in my viewDidAppear on the first view controller:
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(true)
    print(barcodeScanData, "This is empty but it shouldnt be")
    dataFromBarcodeScanner.text = barcodeScanData
}

What am I missing ?

A: With this code let barcodeData = PartsVCDetail() you are creating a new instance of PartsVCDetail and then setting the property of that instance.  As soon as the action ends this instance will be deallocated and you will return to the previous view controller via popViewController.
A common solution to your requirement is a delegation pattern.

*

*You declare a protocol for your delegate to implement

*You have the original view controller implement this delegate protocol

*You have the original view controller set itself as the second view controller's delegate

*The second view controller can invoke the delegate method to pass the data back

Protocol
protocol BarcodeScanDelegate {
    func didScan(barcodeData: String)
}

PartsVCDetail
class PartsVCDetail: UIViewController, BarcodeScanDelegate {

    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        if let desitnationVC = segue.destination as? BarcodeScanVC {
            desitnationVC.delegate = self
        }
    }

    func didScan(barcodeData: String) {
        self.barcodeScanData = barcodeData
    }
}

BarcodeScanVC
var delegate: BarcodeScanDelegate?

func launchApp(barcodeScan: String) {

    guard presentedViewController == nil else {
        return
    }

    let alertPrompt = UIAlertController(title: "Barcode Found", message: "\(barcodeScan)", preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
    let confirmAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Confirm", style: UIAlertAction.Style.default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
        self.delegate?.didScan(barcodeData: self.xyz)
        self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
    })

    let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertAction.Style.cancel, handler: nil)

    alertPrompt.addAction(confirmAction)
    alertPrompt.addAction(cancelAction)

    present(alertPrompt, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
