Synopsis: Based on the novel Trilby by George L. Du Maurier. Music maestro Svengali (John Barrymore) wields his power of hypnotism over women to get what he wants. When he falls in love with the beautiful Trilby (Marian Marsh) he sets out to steal her from her intended as well as use her voice to make his fortune.
Kitty Cameo: In the first half of the film Svengali lives in an apartment where he owns a black cat which can be seen in several scenes. He can first barely be seen sitting in a chair behind Svengali and his female music student who can't sing. But the cat can best be seen when Svengali is feeding it from a small dish on the floor in the following scene.
Later when Svengali has begun to work his powers over Trilby, he summons her to his room. When she arrives and opens the door she sees him sitting in a chair with the cat in his lap.
At the end of this scene when Trilby runs away, Svengali sits smiling and the camera pans to the floor where the cat is reaching into a mousehole. The filmmaker likely intended this as being symbolic of the way Svengali is playing cat and mouse with Trilby.
Final Mewsings: Cats are fortunately immune to psycho hypnotists.

Synopsis: This live-action remake of the original animated film stars Glen Close as the viciously evil Cruella DeVil, a fashion designer and fur enthusiast who gets it into her head to kidnap the puppies of her former employee Anita (Joely Richardson) and her video game creator husband Roger (Jeff Daniels).
Kitty Cameo: The biggest disappointment of this adaptation by far is the omission of Sgt. Tibs as a pivotal character. The Colonel and Captain are both still present and get at least a little bit of screen time, but Tibs is only seen very briefly, the first time during the initial scene in the barn.
And again when he runs away while Cruella is throwing a fit in the barn. The role of rescuing the puppies is taken over by another dog and many other animals are brought in to play various pranks on Cruella. While it's somewhat understandable that pulling off the scenes with Tibs rescuing the puppies in live action would be pretty impractical (if not downright impossible) at least they could have given him a little something more to do.
Final Mewsings: Sgt. Tibs did not deserve to be demoted.

Synopsis: An ex-war hero Clem (Trevor Howard) falls in with a gang of thieves but tries to leave when he finds out the leader, Narcy (Griffith Jones) is dealing in drugs. Narcy frames Clem for a prison sentence and when Clem manages to escape he's seeking revenge!
Purr Blur: Near the end of the movie Narcy returns to the funeral home called Valhalla which he has been using as a front, expecting Clem to look for him there. During an establishing shot of the place we see a cat run across the sidewalk and down an alley.
Final Mewsings: Cats know to make themselves scarce before the final showdown.

Synopsis: Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Roger Moore) is in charge of an elite SWAT-style team who specialize in underwater tactics. The British government finds itself in need of his services when a vicious criminal group headed by a mysterious man named Kramer (Anthony Perkins) hijack an oil rig command platform in the North Sea and threaten to blow up two oil rigs unless they are paid a hefty ransom.
Kitty Cameos: ffolkes is an unorthodox espionage hero in that he loves cats, does needlepoint to help him concentrate and, in direct contrast with Moore's Bond personage, strongly dislikes women. In the early part of the film we see ffolkes training his men at his castle headquarters. Having been called to London on business, ffolkes packs his bags and we see he owns several cats which are all around the room.
Cat Burglars (Scene Stealers): At the end of the film when ffolkes and his team have saved the day, the prime minister and those involved in the effort gather to reward ffolkes at his retreat. The prime minister says she knows that ffolkes doesn't care for medals or honors, so instead he is presented with a lovely red box. The lid is removed to reveal it contains three adorable white kittens! ffolkes is genuinely appreciative of the gesture and excuses himself to get them some milk.
Also according to the IMDb trivia, Roger Moore wrote in his autobiography that members of the film's crew tried to sedate some of the cats on the set without James Mason finding out. James Mason, as you may know from one of our Feature Stories, was a great lover of cats along with his wife. One would guess this was done to make the cats more managable during filming.
Final Mewsings: Every hero deserves a boxful of kittens!

Synopsis: Based on one of the original Perry Mason stories, the Shore family has its share of problems, not the least of which is a missing uncle who seems to want to reappear ten years later, an overbearing matriarch who doesn't trust cats and a dead body that shows up when least expected.
Featured Feline: The cat referred to in the title is an absolutely adorable young Siamese cat named Monkey which is seen off and on throughout the episode. In the first scene the cat is pacing nervously on a high shelf above Matilda (Louise Latham) and Gerald Shore (Lloyd Corrigan).
Monkey suddenly jumps down and lands hard on the table, scaring Matilda, who starts after the cat like she will kill it. Her niece Helen (Julie Sommars) races into the room to rescue Monkey.
Shortly afterwards we hear Monkey has been poisoned with strychnine but fortunately isn't killed. Helen is taking no chances and takes the cat to stay at the family's long-time gardener Thomas (Allan Melvin).
Monkey isn't seen for a while until Perry Mason is approached by Thomas saying that the missing uncle is at his place. When they arrive at Thomas' home they find an empty bed, an open window, cat tracks of flour throughout the place and a gun in the flour container. Monkey is seen licking his paws.
Eventually the pieces of the mystery are put together and a killer is revealed, thanks in part to Monkey. In the last scene the kitten jumps down from a shelf into a coffee service.
Final Mewsings: Cats are not careless, it's just that people leave their things where cats plan to jump!

'I just accepted that this was how it was going to end,' she said after she was told she was going to die.
A DUBLIN WOMAN who was attacked by her ex-boyfriend said she thought she was going to die after she was asked whether she wanted to be stabbed or shot.
Barry O'Donoghue was sentenced to five years imprisonment last week, after being found guilty of assaulting and threatening to kill his former partner Kerrie Gamble.
In recent days, the young woman posted photos online of her injuries following an assault in October 2016, in a bid to stand up against domestic violence.
Speaking to Ray D'Arcy on RTÉ Radio 1 today she recalled being knocked to the ground and kicked repeatedly in the head after she met O'Donoghue to discuss details about the house they had shared together.
"I went over and a small argument broke out and I just thought I'm leaving," she said.
"I went into the hall and I tried to leave and he pulled me back from the hall door and threw me on the ground, and that's when he started kicking me on the head and the face.
"He then proceeded to stamp on me as well [...] and when I looked at my leg because that stayed on me until after Christmas you could see the swirls of the pattern of the bottom of his runner.
"Everyday I had to look at that getting into the shower and it was awful at the time, it was so hard," she said.
Gamble went on to describe how O'Donoghue had told her he was going to kill her and asked how she would like to die.
"He told me that 'I had been planning to kill you for two years' and said 'I'd been thinking about this, it's all I've been thinking about every day'.
"When he told me I was going to be executed that night, he told me that I could choose whether I would be stabbed – and was standing there with a red kitchen knife in his hand – or he said he had met somebody that had a gun.
"I could choose whether I was full force shot in the face or from behind, and I believed him that this was going to happen – and I picked from behind so I wouldn't see it coming," she said.
"I just said nothing. I didn't plead with him for my life because I knew he would get enjoyment out of that and I knew it would make it worse.
"I just accepted that this was how it was going to end," she added.
She said she had decided to speak of her ordeal and publish photos of her injuries to stop her from being silenced and to encourage others to speak up against domestic abuse.
"I published those photographs because I felt any embarrassment by publishing them paled in comparison to the fact that my silence was taken from me by Barry.
"I felt that the years of abuse that I suffered from him were fueled by my silence and then by saying nothing I allowed that to continue on.
"I felt this was a way of taking back my silence," she said.

A pickup/motorcycle crash at the intersection of Route 40 and Palmer Rd. sent two motorcyclists to the hospital with what were described as critical injuries.
According to initial reports, a pickup truck northbound on Palmer Rd. pulled out into the path of the westbound motorcycle. The crash occurred around 2:30 on Sunday afternoon.
The riders on the cycle were reported to be an adult male and a juvenile female. The lone occupant of the truck was not injured.
A Route 40 resident, who did not wish to be identified, said he heard the crash, then heard his wife scream, "Oh my God! That motorcycle hit that truck!"
The crash is still under investigation by the Miami County Sheriff's Department.


How many different levels of reporting in a project?
I am wondering how many levels of reporting projects should ideally have and that the project manager should handle. For example, in my case, I have two levels of reporting on the project, one to the project stakeholders, and the other to the project team members.
One more question: is there a way, in any tool, to make this reporting automatic (e.g. generate the reports on the fly instead of doing them manually)?
- Reporting for the project team: In these status reports, the project manager highlights what has been done so far, who's working on what, and what has to be done on the short run.
- Reporting for the project sponsor: In these status reports, the project manager gives the project sponsor a high level view on the project when it comes to the time (schedule), the cost, and the scope. The project manager will also list (potential) problems in the project including conflicts, risks, and issues that may require the project sponsor's action/attention/involvement.
- Reporting for the project stakeholders: In these status reports, the project manager will give a very high view of the project status to the stakeholders (usually using status indicators, such as green for "everything 's OK", yellow for "challenged", and red for "in danger". Additionally, the project manager lists (in these reports) action points (such as pending change requests) that need some decision making from the stakeholders.
Now about automatic reporting, I think there must be tools by now that do this. As someone with a programming background, I'm sure it's an easy feature to develop, if not already developed (so my point is if you're currently using any online tool, you can ask the creator of this tool to add this feature).
What are the contents of the project status report?
How many maturity levels are there in project management?
Please tell me about different levels of a project?

Canada has lowered its overall taxes since the 1990's from thirty six percent to thirty one percent placing them in the lower one-third section of the Organization for Economic Co-ooperative and Development convention. This means Canada has the means to become a very strong, independent and stabilized country but we do not intend to do so.
This trust fund is a great idea since it had a large steady income coming in from non-renewable resources. It helped not only Albertans but the nation as well by being able to lend other provinces money and providing health care services, parks, libraries and other public needed services. "In 1987, the transfer of natural resource royalty revenues to the Fund were stopped." This meant that the fund no longer received income from oil revenue. The government was no longer able to use this fund for economic development or social investment. It focused on using the money for long-term investments but since the 1990's no one has seen the advantages of these "investments" and only a stingy sixteen billion dollars has been pulled in which is insignificant compared to profits raked in by the big oil companies. Since Alberta no longer touches the trust fund it averages losing eleven million dollars a day making them very much in debt. So in a nutshell the oil industry used to widely benefit us as nation but now it does not help us out like it used to.
The issues with oil nowadays are it does not help us grow and develop as a nation, but rather break and disintegrate us. Canada's natural resources benefit foreigners and not us as a nation, the fumes produced get released and it changes the environment around us. Foreign workers for foreign companies are actually taking the jobs that are so called being "produced for Canadians". These issues are what make citizens question what the government is doing with their jobs, the nations resources and our lives.
Norway's economy on the other hand is not as gloomy as Canada's. The Norwegian economy is a developed mixed society with state-ownership in strategic areas of the economy.

Election Integrity 2022 in Review: More Improvements Than Damage
As state legislatures begin their 2023 sessions, Americans should know what their states did in 2022 to improve or damage the integrity of the election process.
They can now easily do that because 2022 marks the second year that The Heritage Foundation has tracked and scored the laws and regulations of every state and the District of Columbia that bear on the conduct and integrity of elections. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
The Election Integrity Scorecard scores the security and reliability of elections on a 100-point scale based on 47 best practices criteria that cover everything from the handling of absentee ballots to the maintenance of clean, accurate voter-registration rolls.
2022's changes were in many respects positive. In total, 14 states improved their election-integrity scores over their 2021 totals, while only three states saw net declines in their scores.
The states moving in the right direction were Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Unfortunately for the voters in Maryland, Rhode Island, and Wyoming, those states headed in the wrong direction, diminishing the security of their elections.
Tennessee, which enacted legislation improving the state's ability to verify the accuracy of voter rolls, now holds the top spot at the end of 2022, having improved its score by six points and achieving a total score of 84. While that is the top score of any state, it's not a score of 100, which shows that Tennessee, just like every other state in the nation, still has room for improvement.
Missouri and Oklahoma made the largest improvements in 2022 with each improving by eight points, bringing their point totals to 80 and 72, respectively.
Missouri did so by enacting a law that requires a photo ID for in-person voting, restricts the use of private funding by political and other donors for the conduct of elections, and prevents the state's executive branch from reaching collusive settlements in lawsuits that would result in unauthorized changes to state election laws.
Oklahoma similarly restricted the use of private funds to administer elections, thereby limiting the influence wealthy donors can exert in any given contest.
As noted in our midyear review, restrictions on the private funding of elections were the most widely adopted means states implemented to prevent the future manipulation of the electoral process and improve public confidence in their elections.
But Oklahoma took additional steps by enacting a law that requires any voter who applies for a mail-in ballot to provide unique identifying information to ensure that those ballots are sent only to eligible voters.
On the negative side of the ledger, Rhode Island saw its score decrease by three points in 2022, more than any other state, reducing its score to 63 overall, a failing grade in most schools.
In June, Gov. Dan McKee, a Democrat, signed the "Let R.I. Vote Act," which, among other things, codified the pandemic practice of using unsecured drop boxes to collect absentee ballots and eliminated the need for a witness or notary to verify that the registered voter is actually the individual who completed a mail-in or absentee ballot.
Both changes afford greater opportunity for voters to be disenfranchised and their mail-in ballots used as the instruments of election fraud.
Wyoming lost one point in 2022 by authorizing the counting of absentee ballots before Election Day, which risks information being leaked to certain campaigns and candidates that could help them change final election results by changing their campaign and get-out-the-vote tactics.
Not all changes affecting election integrity came by way of legislation. In a few instances, state courts intervened to save other state entities from their own improvident actions.
In Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, Wisconsin's Supreme Court put a stop to the state election commission's reckless efforts to make unsecured ballot drop boxes a permanent feature of Wisconsin's elections. The court reminded the commission that because no state law authorized the use of drop boxes, the commission had no authority to allow local jurisdictions to use them.
In another instance of judicial sobriety, Delaware's Supreme Court unanimously held that new legislation expanding no-excuse mail-in voting and allowing same-day voter registration violated express limitations in the state's constitution on the conduct of elections. The decision restored three points the state had lost when it enacted the unconstitutional statutes.
But state courts, no less than state legislatures, can err in matters of election integrity.
The clearest evidence of this comes from North Carolina. In late December, just days before new Republican justices were to be sworn in, the outgoing Democratic majority of North Carolina's Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that a state law requiring photo IDs to vote was an unconstitutional form of racial discrimination under the state constitution.
The challenger offered no direct evidence of the legislature's alleged racial animus, but that was no obstacle for the activist majority, which cited the state's Jim Crow-era history and the putative disparate impact of photo-ID requirements on black voters.
The court disregarded the legislature's race-neutral rationales for the law and ignored evidence from multiple elections in numerous states, including the November elections, that voter-ID requirements have no "disparate" effect on anyone and do not prevent any eligible voters from voting.
Elsewhere, in a perplexing ruling, Maryland's highest court failed to follow existing state law when it held that practical considerations provided adequate legal justification for counting mail-in ballots before Election Day. The court not only ignored the plain text of Maryland law prohibiting early vote counting, but also the veto of outgoing Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, who had recently rejected a bill allowing early vote counting.
Still, in 2022, the good laws (and rulings) exceeded the bad ones not only in quantity, but in magnitude.
In addition to Missouri's and Oklahoma's eight-point increases, Tennessee (plus 6) and South Carolina (plus 5) also made impressive gains.
Counterbalancing Rhode Island's three-point decrease were four states (Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia) that each improved their scores by three points during the year. Offsetting the one-point losses in Maryland and Wyoming were one-point gains achieved by legislation in Arizona, Kansas, and West Virginia, as well as Wisconsin's one-point gain courtesy of the state's Supreme Court.
Looking ahead in 2023, some states offer reasons for cautious optimism. Two bills recently passed by both houses of the Ohio General Assembly would require voters to provide a photo ID whether they choose to vote in person or by mail. The bills also require the state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles to provide free state-issued IDs to all voters who need one.
These bills are now with Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who must sign them if they are to become law. But if he does, it would be a boon for improving the integrity of Ohio's elections.
The same is true of a recently approved referendum by the voters of Nebraska, which amended the state's constitution to require that voters show a photo ID to vote and authorized the state legislature to implement the requirement, letting Nebraska join the majority of states with an ID requirement. We await the implementing legislation adopted in response to the referendum.
Unfortunately, the situation will become worse in some states, such as Michigan, when a referendum passed in the November election becomes effective. That referendum allows individuals to vote without an ID, so long as they sign a form that purports to confirm they are who they say they are. It also permits political donors to fund the administration of elections, enables the use of unsecured drop boxes to collect absentee ballots, and enables the creation of permanent absentee-ballot lists, thereby substantially increasing the risk that ballots will be sent to voters who are deceased, become ineligible, or have moved out of state.
When legislatures across the country reconvene this year, we hope that recent experience impresses upon them the necessity of passing additional legislation. That includes the slow-motion debacle of 2022 congressional races going uncalled for more than a week after Election Day, due largely to the difficulties of counting and verifying mail-in ballots.
Legislators could easily use the model bills contained in The Heritage Foundation's Election Integrity Scorecard. Such improvements will ensure public faith in the fairness and reliability of all elections, whether local, state, or federal.
We look forward to surveying and reporting on all new developments on the issue in 2023.

Joint Press Release by Siemens and Stadler Pankow GmbH
Berlin, 2015-Dec-22
Framework contract for up to 1, 380 vehicles
Confirmed order for 106 trains
First delivery in 2020
Service on the Ringbahn and southeastern feeder lines
S-Bahn Berlin GmbH has signed a framework contract with the consortium of Stadler Pankow GmbH and Siemens for the delivery of up to 1, 380 vehicles. A firm order was placed for the first 106 trains. The 85 four-section and 21 two-section trains have a high triple-digit million-euro order volume. S-Bahn Berlin, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, plans to use the new trains on the Ringbahn lines (S 41 and S 42) as well as on the system's southeastern feeder lines S 47, S 46 and S 8. These lines comprise roughly one-third of the entire S-Bahn network in Berlin. The first ten vehicles will be ready to enter service as of 2020. Subsequently, all remaining vehicles will be delivered continuously to the Berlin system up to 2023. The vehicles will be manufactured and assembled at the Berlin plant operated by Stadler Pankow GmbH.

"The first ten vehicles will be pre-production and test vehicles. They will undergo extensive tests before entering regular passenger service – which will enable us to incorporate possible findings from operations in Berlin in the series, " explained Ulf Braker, Member of the Group Executive Board of Stadler Pankow GmbH.
"Siemens and Stadler are offering a unique combination of competencies for the future of S-Bahn Berlin. Both companies are deeply rooted in Berlin, and together we will deliver vehicles that will operate with the highest reliability over many decades and be top-class technically, " said Sabrina Soussan, head of Siemens' business with high-speed and regional trains and locomotives.
The vehicles will have a modern exterior design while remaining loyal to the traditional and trusted yellow and red colors of the Berlin S-Bahn. Along with powerful traction and control systems that ensure highly efficient and quiet operation, the main innovations will be in the interior. The cars will be walk-through all the way, feature a modern passenger information system and provide a spacious and comfortable environment for passengers. For the first time in Berlin, the trains will be equipped with air conditioning. In addition, the cars will offer space for wheelchairs located directly behind the driver. As is usual in S-Bahn trains, virtually all of the seats will be arranged vis-à-vis and will be supplemented by ample standing room and generously dimensioned multiple-purpose zones.
Consortium leader Stadler will be responsible for the mechanical and structural aspects of the construction and production, including, for example, the air conditioning system and assembly of all components. Siemens will be responsible for the electrical equipment, including the propulsion and braking systems, on-board power supply system, vehicle and train control systems, passenger information system and vehicle bogies. Maintenance of the trains will be provided by S-Bahn Berlin GmbH, which will use its existing infrastructure.

Bengals cornerback Adam Jones pleads guilty to misdemeanor count of obstructing official business
2 other counts dismissed
Terry Helmer | WCPO
CINCINNATI. May 16, 2017. Bengals cornerback Adam Jones appears in a Hamilton County courtroom to plead guilty to one of three misdemeanor charges against him.
By: WCPO Staff
Posted at 10:06 AM, May 16, 2017
CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Adam Jones pleaded guilty Tuesday to obstructing official business in connection with his arrest at a downtown Cincinnati hotel.
Two other misdemeanor charges -- assault and disorderly conduct -- were dismissed at the prosecutor's request after a plea agreement. Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Dwane Mallory sentenced Jones to two days in jail, which he already served shortly after his January arrest.
However, Jones, who has twice had lengthy suspensions in his career, still faces potential NFL discipline.
"We have been monitoring developments in this matter, which continues to be reviewed under the personal conduct policy," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said via email. "We have no timetable on any potential discipline."
The 33-year-old was accused of pushing a hotel security guard and poking him in the eye, according to court records. A man who identified himself as a Millennium Hotel security guard told the dispatcher that Jones and another person were causing a "ruckus."
Court records also stated Jones refused to enter a police cruiser by pulling away, kicking and head-butting as he was being arrested. He entered anger management after video surfaced of him wishing death on a police officer.
"The video truly is not a representation of me," he told the court Tuesday.
Warning: the following video contains explicit language:
Jones was visibly emotional as spoke outside the courtroom, saying he was "sorry for putting the officer in that situation." He also apologized to Bengals owner Mike Brown, coach Marvin Lewis, fans and teammates.
"I can truly say this made me a better person," he said, his voice shaking.
After speaking to reporters, Jones stepped into an alcove to wipe his eyes.
Watch his entire statement outside the courtroom:
He'd also had been accused of spitting on a staff nurse at the county jail. In March, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters dismissed a felony count of harassment with a bodily substance, saying he didn't believe what Jones did rose to the level of a felony. He chalked Jones' behavior up to "drunken foolishness."
"This is a case that, quite candidly, the court saw it for what it was: There was no assault in this case, there was no head-butting or spitting or things of that nature," defense attorney Tim Schneider said.
After Tuesday's court hearing, Cincinnati police released another officer's bodycam video of Jones' arrest outside the hotel, showing him protesting he hadn't done anything to deserve it, loudly demanding, "Let me go!" and at times struggling with officers while yelling obscene insults.
Brown previously said he supports Jones and indicated the veteran cornerback remains in good standing with the team.

Randomized Participant- and Investigator-Blinded Trial to Compare the Clinical Efficacy of Recombinant Influenza Vaccine to Standard Dose Egg-Based Inactivated Influenza Vaccine Among Adults Aged 18-64 Years in the United States
Fatimah Dawood
Updated on 18 October 2022
trivalent influenza vaccine
fluzone
This randomized, active comparator trial will compare the clinical efficacy of recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) to standard-dose egg-based inactivated influenza vaccine (SD IIV) among adults aged 18-64 years. The primary study hypothesis is that the clinical efficacy of RIV is superior to that of SD IIV to prevent and attenuate influenza-like illness (ILI)-associated influenza virus infection. Relative efficacy will be assessed by comparing rates of ILI-associated reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-confirmed influenza virus infection and measures of infection and illness attenuation among participants who receive RIV versus SD IIV. A secondary hypothesis is that humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to RIV are superior to responses to SD IIV. Relative immunogenicity will be assessed by comparing markers of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses post-vaccination among a subset of participants who receive RIV versus SD IIV.

A secondary hypothesis is that humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to RIV are superior to responses to SD IIV. Relative immunogenicity will be assessed by comparing markers of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses post-vaccination among a subset of participants who receive RIV versus SD IIV
The trial will be conducted at up to 6 sites in the United States during at least two influenza seasons (2022-23 and 2023-24). Stratified enrollment procedures will be used to enroll a representative mix of participants based on age (18-49 and 50-64 years). In addition, an enrollment quota will be used to enroll a minimum proportion of trial participants that self-identify as from a racial or ethnic group that has been historically underrepresented in clinical trials to optimize the racial and ethnic representativeness of the trial population compared to the US source population.
Eligible participants at each site will be randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of RIV (Flublok® Quadrivalent by Sanofi Pasteur, 45µg of HA per strain) versus a single dose of SD IIV (Fluzone® Quadrivalent by Sanofi Pasteur, 15 µg of HA per strain) during approximately September through mid-November of 2022 or 2023. At a subset of sites, approximately 120 participants per trial season will be recruited and enrolled into an immunogenicity substudy with blood collection. All study vaccines are licensed for use in adults aged >18 years in the United States; RIV is licensed for adults aged >=18 years and SD IIV is licensed for persons aged >=6 months. Participants and study investigators will be blinded to study arm assignment. Designated study staff administering vaccines will be aware of study arm assignment and will not be involved with study surveillance to avoid involvement with measurement of study outcomes.
All participants will be followed with surveillance for ILI-associated RT-PCR-confirmed influenza virus infection. ILI will be defined as subjective (i.e., participant-reported) fever, cough, runny nose, or sore throat. Starting at enrollment, participants will respond to weekly text messages or emails asking about new onset of ILI symptoms to familiarize them with the electronic surveillance procedures and keep them engaged in the study prior to circulation of influenza viruses in the community. Once national and/or state influenza surveillance systems indicate that influenza viruses have begun circulating in the United States or no later than the first week of December, participants will also self-collect mid-turbinate nasal swabs (henceforth referred to as 'nasal swabs') with onset of ILI symptoms and self-ship or drop off swabs at designated sites for shipment to a central laboratory. Samples will be tested for influenza viruses by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Samples may also be tested for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and other respiratory viruses. During the influenza virus circulation period or no later than the first week of December, participants who report ILI symptoms during the surveillance contacts will complete follow-up questionnaires to provide detailed information about their illnesses. Electronic surveillance and nasal swab collection will continue until local influenza virus circulation ends with the option to restart surveillance if additional periods of influenza virus circulation occur through May of each trial season.
Participants in the immunogenicity substudy will have blood collected just prior to vaccination and at approximately 7 days, 28 days, and 6 months post-vaccination to evaluate humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to vaccination; these participants will also have two nasal swabs collected prior to vaccination and at approximately 7 and 28 days post-vaccination for human microbiome characterization.
Sites will aim to enroll a combined total of up to 16,247 participants during the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons; up to about 7,000 of these will be in the first year. The immunogenicity substudy site(s) will aim to enroll 120 participants each season (60 per vaccine arm) who will contribute blood for serum, plasma, and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) collection and nasal swabs for human microbiome characterization. A blinded sample size re-estimation will be conducted at the end of the first trial season by an independent designated statistician with experience with adaptive trial approaches. The analysis will follow a pre-specified analysis plan, and the recommended revised sample size will be shared with the trial steering committee for decision-making. Participants from the first trial season may be eligible for the second trial season; all participants will complete eligibility screening and consent processes at the start of each trial season. Participants from the first trial season who consent to participate in the second trial season will be rerandomized.

EDITORIAL: Wheels of justice
Sureis
By The Himalayan Times

An empowered and independent judiciary strengthens the foundation of democracy and keeps the wheels of justice turning
The Supreme Court in its annual report for 2017/18 has once again raised the issue of ever growing workload and lack of employees and resources. With the new civil and penal codes in place, the apex court says, the workload has further increased. As per the annual report, SC's adjudication rate stands at 37.96 per cent. The high pendency rate at the court makes people feel they are deprived of justice. So, the apex court is right in saying it needs to be equipped with staff and other resources. The SC says it faces budget constraints as well. "Due to lack of predictability of budget, the apex court's activities and overall plans are being affected," the SC has noted. But just as SC has brought forth its grievances, it is of utmost importance to discuss some other crucial issues, which often put a spoke in the judiciary's wheel.
There have been a lot of discussions of late over the independence of the judiciary and political interference in the judicial system. Time and again issues of irregularities and corruption in the judiciary also have surfaced. Some judgments have met with fierce criticisms, even from those who are — and were — part of the judiciary. Former chief justices have admitted presence of irregularities in the judiciary. These are indeed very serious issues. Every time a new chief justice has assumed office, we have heard promises of "cleaning up" the judiciary and making judicial process swift and efficient. But problems continue to persist. High profile cases remain pending for years. In some cases interim orders have been swiftly issued. There have also been reports of manipulation with the cause list — a system that schedules cases to be heard on a particular day. Some with power, position and money, reports suggest, even try to "pick and choose" the bench.
Against this backdrop, insufficient number of employees and lack of resources are not only the problems Nepal's judiciary is facing. There are other underlying problems which need to be addressed. The judiciary is considered the third branch of a democratic government system with the legislature and the executive being the first two. In simple terms, the basic model is: the legislature makes the laws, the executive administers/executes them, and the judiciary — the system of courts — resolves disputes arising under them. Courts are important because they help protect the citizens' constitutional rights. Courts set the foundation of democracy and create a climate for its growth. The Supreme Court sits on the top of the entire judicial system and hence is revered as a great institution. Its independence ensures justice, guarantees liberty, enhances social order and maintains the rule of law, thereby providing equal protection to all the citizens. When this great institution suffers, the entire nation and its citizenry suffer. Hence it's the state's duty to keep the judiciary free and equip it with all the resources. While the state must pay heed to the SC's call to empower it, the judiciary also needs to do its bit to keep itself free from interference and rid itself of irregularities, if there are any. Problems facing the judiciary must be resolved to ensure that the wheels of justice continue to roll.
Assist the victims
Reconstruction process in some hilly districts has not gained momentum at desired level even if it has been more than three years since the 2015 earthquake. A report from Bhojpur says only 108 earthquake victim families have received the third tranche of grant provided by the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA). As per the NRA record, there are as many as 5,749 quake victims in the district. Of them 5,065 families have received the first instalment and 2,236 beneficiaries have taken the second one.
Locals said they were denied the third tranche after district-based NRA officials refused to approve the houses they rebuilt saying they did not meet the criteria set by the NRA. This problem would not have arisen had the concerned authorities monitored
the rebuilding process from the very beginning. The NRA officials cannot deny the third tranche to the victims even if they did not meet the criteria as the NRA has already disbursed the first and second tranches to them without giving them guidelines about rebuilding houses. Instead of creating unnecessary problems NRA filed office should help ease the rebuilding process.

So it has been a long time since my last blog. Why, you ask. We've had an addition to the family and he is absolutely the cutest, sweetest little time sucker.
Now you have to know that I have it easy. My son is probably one of the easiest babies out there. He is very chill, plays well by himself, and for the most part is a good sleeper (well, now he is). That doesn't mean that I have all this time to do whatever I want however. This blog is going to take me about a week to write as I have to make sure I'm keeping said time sucker alive as well as uninjured, healthy, and happy! Who knew children were so much work?!? Oh wait, every person ever who has had children. People do not warn you, though. For those of you who don't have children, this is your official warning. CHILDREN ARE HARD WORK AND YOUR LIFE IS VERY DIFFERENT WITH CHILDREN! Please do not take that the wrong way. I love my little man more than I will ever be able to express. Just know that everything changes. Some things are great and some are not so great, but be sure that it happens whether you want it to or not!
Now that I have that off my chest, I did want to share that making food for my son has been an absolute joy. I have been making all of his food from scratch and when he loves something that I've made him it makes my soul glow! He has been willing to try everything I make him and so far has only a few things he doesn't like. For the life of me I cannot get him to like bananas. What kid doesn't like bananas? Apparently mine! I have to say it's been amazing to watch him eat foods that are good for him and teaching him (even if he does not know it yet) how to eat. Vegetables, no problem. He'll eat broccoli, spinach, sweet potato, carrots, green beans, artichoke, pretty much anything I make him. Now I know this will probably change down the line and some of these will become challenges, but right now in this moment I am enjoying that he's eating so many foods. I am always looking to introduce new foods, even foods I am not familiar with. It makes it fun and makes me try new things as well. If you have children (and the time) I highly suggest getting creative in the kitchen and making some baby food. It is pretty easy and you definitely do not need any special tools other than a blender or food processor. I believe those baby food machines are a waste of money! I happen to have a NutriBullet and that worked great for small batches, but the blender works great too! When you are first trying new foods introduce one thing at a time and wait 3-5 days before introducing a new food. This helps to identify any allergies a baby might have. I started by steaming vegetables and fruits for 20 minutes or until tender and then blending with formula until smooth, then I ran through a sieve to remove any chunks. As your child gets older feel free to start leaving the food chunkier and using no-sodium stock (with vegetables). You can also roast vegetables with a little olive oil to give them more flavor as your child gets older. My little man loves these recipes below so I thought I would share them.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place all veggies on a sheet try and drizzle olive oil over. Mix veggies to coat every piece with olive oil. Roast 30-45 minutes or until tender.
Steam vegetables for about 20 minutes or until butternut squash is tender.
Steam apples and prunes together for about 20 minutes or until apples are tender and prunes start to plump.
Soak beans overnight in water. After soak, rinse beans and sort to remove any bad beans or stones. Boil beans for 20-30 minutes or until very tender. Drain and rinse again.
With all above recipes, let cool, then in a blender or food processor blend veggies with enough liquid of choice (you can use formula, breast milk, or water when baby is younger and any flavor stock when baby is older) to make a puree. Depending on how old your child is you can make this as smooth or as chunky as you like. As I stated above when he was younger I would run these through a sieve for my son. This can make a lot so I divided the mix up between 2-3 ice cube trays and froze it. When ready to eat, pull out the portions you want and either heat up in a pan or in the microwave until warm.
Protein is super important for a baby and can be a little more difficult to get in. Here are a couple of ideas I use to help boost my little one's protein intake.
Mix full fat plain Greek yogurt with any fruit puree. My little man has been eating this since 6 months and he loves it.
When making my dinner (i.e. chicken, beef, pork, etc.) I make an extra bit without any salt and give to my little one. In the beginning I blended the meat with a little water (or if I made a sauce I would make some without salt and use that) to make a puree. I sometimes blend the meat with a vegetable puree to get an easy one dish meal.
Blend tofu with cooked vegetables to give him an extra bit of protein.
Do not forget that legumes are a great choice as well. I know, giving beans to a baby sounds weird, but my little guy loves them.
Thanks for letting me share some of my baby culinary experiences with you. I hope that if you have a little one some of these ideas help you out. I know how hard it is to try to come up with ideas for a baby and how overwhelming it seems to make their food on your own. Don't be scared! You can do it and try to have fun with it!
This cracked me up. It's been a long time since my daughter was a baby, but I vividly remember those days when everything I did with her took 5x longer than necessary. It gets better…in a few years.
