Occurrence of multiple Paragangliomas (PGL) is relatively rare. Very few case reports have described the role of 18F‑fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography‑computed tomography (FDG PET‑CT) in the diagnosis and staging of PGL. Here, we report the case of a 48‑year‑old man with multiple PGL who presented with atypical symptoms. In this case, 18F-FDG PET‑CT proved to be a beneficial imaging modality in arriving at the diagnosis of this patient with nonspecific clinical presentation and also in the detection of the multiple sites involved.
Keywords: Paraganglioma; 18F-FDG PET‑CT; Carotid Body Tumors
Paragangliomas (PGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumours that arise from the paraganglial tissue / chromaffin cells and can be associated with the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. Tumours in the adrenal medulla are termed pheochromocytoma (over 90%) and rest are termed paraganglioma. PGL appears in abdomen, neck, pelvis and mediastinum. Majority of PGL are non-functioning (i.e., do not secrete catecholamine's). Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare type of extra-adrenal PGL which originate from the carotid body (also termed chemodectoma) [1]. Their incidence is estimated to be less than 0.03% [2]. Usually, CBT is a solitary occurrence. The incidence of bilateral carotid body lesions is just 10% [3]. CBT can have sporadic or familial (10% of all CBT cases) occurrence. The majority of cases are considered to be benign, with only 6-12.5% demonstrating malignant inclinations. CBTs are often diagnosed based on the location, clinical symptoms and imaging findings of the tumour [1]. The carotid angiography (most useful diagnostic test) demonstrates tumor blood supply and widening of the carotid bifurcation by a well-defined tumor blush ("lyre sign") [3]. A biopsy of a CBT may cause uncontrollable haemorrhage, hence not advised.
Mediastinal paragangliomas are rare, only approximately 150 cases having been reported in the literature, and two-thirds of these tumors are located in the anterior or middle mediastinum. PGL located in the posterior mediastinum is very rarely reported. Mediastinal PGL originates from the para - aortic (middle mediastinum) and para - vertebral (posterior mediastinum) sympathetic chain ganglia. Up to 50% patients are asymptomatic and diagnosis is incidental. The behaviour of mediastinal paraganglioma is aggressive. The distant metastasis rate is about 19.5%. Multicentric PGL tumours are observed in 23% of cases, and there seems to be no specific distribution pattern [4]. Microscopically, PGLs show nests of polygonal to round cells surrounded by thin rim of sustentacular cells. This is called the classic "Zellballen" pattern of PGLs. No definite morphological criteria including severe nuclear atypia, capsular or vascular invasion, are present to establish malignancy or metastatic potential. Metastatic disease due to CBT can only be diagnosed based on the presence of chromaffin tumours in locations where chromaffin cells are not usually present. Only the presence of regional lymph nodes or distant metastasis (to brain, bone, liver and lungs) indicates malignancy.
Functional imaging techniques using tracers that are specifically internalized by catecholamine metabolism may confirm the diagnosis (e.g. 123/131I – MIBG, 18F-FDA, 18F-FDOPA, 11C-Epinephrine, 11C -Hydroxyephedrine). Functional imaging using 68Ga-labeled somatostatin (SST) analogs takes a special mention which has showed very good results [5]. Nonspecific functional imaging modalities such as Octreoscan (111In labeled anti-CEA antibody) and 18F-FDG PET-CT are also useful [6]. 18F-FDG PET-CT is not recommended as a first-line examination in PGL imaging. But in this case, it has proven its importance when done at an early stage, to detect multiple tumors or metastatic disease as it allows screening of the whole body. Here we report the importance of utilizing 18F-FDG PET CT to diagnose and stage a rare case of multiple PGL involving bilateral CBT and posterior mediastinum.
A 48 year old male presented with long standing chest pain and giddiness. He was initially evaluated in the Cardiology department. 2D- ECHO revealed reduced LV systolic function (LVEF of 50%). Coronary Angiogram was done which picked up a mediastinal tumour vascularized by Left Circumflex artery. Following which coil embolization of the feeding vessel was done. Patient was referred for 18F-FDG PET CT for further evaluation.
18F-FDG PET CT was conducted after injection of 12.8mCi of FDG. 18F-FDG PET CT maximum intensity projection (MIP) image showed hypermetabolic lesion in the mediastinal region and bilateral neck region (Figure 1A). Intense FDG uptake was seen in a heterogeneously enhancing well defined soft tissue density mass lesion in the posterior mediastinum abutting the left atrium, left pulmonary vein and right pulmonary trunk measuring 3.4 x 3.5 x 4.7 cm with SUV max of 18.2. The lesion was extending from lower border of T5 to lower border of T7 vertebra (Figure 1B). Also, FDG uptake was seen in intensely enhancing mass lesions in bilateral carotid space with central hypodensities (Figure 1 images C,D and E). Splaying of internal and external carotid arteries was noted on bilateral sides. Compression and splaying of bilateral IJV was noted with evidence of multiple collateral veins. Bilateral carotid lesions were seen abutting the anteromedial border of the upper third of sternocleidomastoid muscles on the respective sides. The lesion on the left side measured 5.5 x 4.4 x 5.9cm with SUV max of 6.9. The lesion on the right side measured 4.3 x 3.9 x 5.8cm with SUV max of 16.4. Hence PET CT findings were suggestive of bilateral Carotid body tumours. Also, biopsy was suggested from the posterior mediastinal lesion.
Patient underwent excision of posterior mediastinal mass lesion. Histopathology revealed a well circumscribed mass composed of nests and trabeculae of monotonous tumour cells surrounded by fine vascular network (Zellballen pattern) (Figure 2A). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was strongly positive for NSE, Synaptophysin and Chromogranin. Findings were consistent with PGL (Figure 2B).
Following which right carotid body tumour excision was performed. Histopathology report showed a similar picture to that of posterior mediastinal lesion, consistent with PGL. Right level II and level III cervical lymph nodes were excised which showed no evidence of malignancy. Post-operative period was uneventful.
Multicentric tumors occur in 10–20% of all head and neck paragangliomas [4]. The most common multiple PGLs are CBTs. Molecular genetic research has identified multiple susceptibility genes for PGL, including succinate dehydrogenase SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, SDHA, transmembrane protein 127 (TMEM127), Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL), RET (Rearranged during Transfection) in Multiple Endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and myc associated factor X (MAX). Risk of malignancy is highest in the presence of SDHB mutation, in which 18F-FDG PET CT is recommended as the first line PET study. However, in presence of SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2 gene mutations 18F-DOPA is recommended [7]. Functional imaging has two main goals: to aid the clinical diagnosis and to depict multiple tumors, which may occur synchronously or metachronously [4]. 18F-FDG PET CT allows better detection of metastases / multiple sites, provides a high specificity, and enables functional characterization of PGL. It is important to stress that the histological appearance of a CBT is not a reliable guide to its propensity for malignant behaviour. Treatment options for head and neck paragangliomas include: surgery, conventional radiotherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery (for temporal bone PGLs), permanent embolization and combination of these treatment modalities [8].
As multiple paragangliomas may develop many years after the presentation of the first tumour, regular, prolonged clinical and radiological follow-up of patients is required.
Occurrence of multiple paragangliomas is rare. They pose several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The lack of firm predictors of malignancy, coupled with the variable course of this rare disease, make life-long follow-up of patients mandatory. 18F-FDG PET CT offers a one stop shop imaging procedure as the whole body is imaged to detect efficiently all the multiple / metastatic sites.

A 19-year-old handwritten letter from Steve Jobs is auctioned starting at $300,000
The letter is dated February 23, 1974, just one day before Steve Jobs' 19th birthday and more than two years before he and Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple. Bonhams described it as the first handwritten letter from Steve Jobs to be sold at auction.
Jobs began the letter by replying to some of Brown's earlier correspondence, writing in lowercase: "I've read your letter many times/I don't know what to say. Many mornings have come and gone/people come and go/I fell in love and I cried many times/somehow, even though, underneath it all hasn't changed – you understand?".
Brown and Jobs attended Homestead High School together in Cupertino, California, where Apple is now headquartered. The two friends remained in touch throughout their lives until Jobs' death in 2011, according to Brown's LinkedIn profile.
In the letter, Jobs confided in Brown that he was saving money for a trip to India. Said and done, Jobs spent seven months in India later that year, seeking spiritual enlightenment, before returning to Silicon Valley with a shaven head monk-style.
Around the same time, Jobs began meditating and experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. The Apple co-founder later told biographer Walter Isaacson that psychedelics "reinforced my sense of what's important – creating great things instead of making money, getting things back on track." history and human consciousness as much as possible".

Of course, Jobs "will" make a lot of money. When he died in 2011, Jobs had an estimated net worth of $8.3 billion. Today, Apple's market value is close to $2.5 trillion.
Jobs ended his letter to Brown by saying, "I'll end by saying I don't even know where to begin." Jobs then signed his name with the phrase "shanti" which means "peace" in Sanskrit, before signing his name at the bottom of the page.
Adam Stackhouse, Bonhams' director of science and technology business history, said in a statement last week: "This letter gives us an insight into the spiritual transformation of one of the founders. the world's greatest creator and entrepreneur".
None of Jobs' signed letters have appeared in previous auctions.

Twitter's New Political Ad Rule May Not Put Pressure On Competitors
Getting out of political ads doesn't lose Twitter much revenue, and it doesn't have to deal with the public scrutiny over lies or fact-checking.
Article by Tyler Adkisson
Twitter says it's getting out of the political ad space. This puts it at odds with Facebook and Google, who still deal in those ads, and can effectively allow politicians to lie in them. It's hard to say how much pressure Twitter's move will actually put on those larger companies — or whether this is about the money at all.
Twitter is substantially smaller than Facebook or Google, so any decision it makes won't have the same scale or economic impact as its competitors. While Facebook and Google-owned YouTube hover right around 2 billion monthly users each, Twitter only gets about 320 million.
This might be part of the reason why Twitter can afford to forego political ads. For instance, in the 2018 midterm elections, Facebook received an estimated $284 million in ad spending, according to the non-profit Tech for Campaigns. Twitter executives said it made less than $3 million in the same period.
And that spending strategy appears to be consistent for 2020 candidates. According to ACRONYM, a progressive nonprofit that tracks ad spending, President Donald Trump has already spent more than $25 million on Facebook and Google digital political ads this election cycle, more than any other candidate. Last week, Trump spent roughly $210,000 on Facebook ads -- and nothing on Twitter.
If anything, the biggest benefit for Twitter may be keeping distance from the brewing legal storm around political ads. Facebook, for example, could face a lawsuit from a California activist who says Facebook took down his intentionally false political ads. He's registered as a gubernatorial candidate, who Facebook says would be able to operate under its looser ad rules.

Toys "R" Us mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe has packed up his suitcase -- presumably full of toys -- and left his toy kingdom for good. A heartbreaking photo of Geoffrey is circulating, one day before Toys "R" Us closes its remaining stores.
The photo shows the giraffe in an empty Toys "R" Us, holding a suitcase and waving goodbye. The photo was taken by Rene Johnpiere, who appears to work at a Toys "R" Us. Johnpiere posted several other sad photos of the empty store on Facebook.
She shared photos of empty shelves, vacant shopping carts and a group of employees locking the doors of the soon-to-be shuttered store. "My heart is breaking," Johnpiere wrote with a photo of the store's sale signs.
She has also shared nostalgic Toys "R" Us commercials from the '80s and '90s to commemorate the end of the company. Her photo of Geoffrey the Giraffe leaving got the most attention, receiving nearly 300,000 shares on Facebook.
The image captures the end of an era and sadness many people feel watching their favorite toy store close forever.
Many kids grew up watching Geoffrey the Giraffe in TV commercials. The iconic jingle "I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys "R" Us kid," was engrained in many people's minds. The store has made many countless peoples' faces light up over the past 70 years.
The shelves may be picked clean, but this does not mark the end of the memories so many people have of Toys "R" Us.

Le Monument aux pionniers coloniaux d'Ixelles est un monument commémoratif situé à Ixelles, une commune de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, en Belgique.

Localisation
Le monument se dresse sur le square de la Croix-Rouge, au sud des étangs d'Ixelles, un square situé face au domaine de l'abbaye de La Cambre, à l'intersection des avenues du Général de Gaulle, des Klauwaerts, Géo Bernier et Émile Duray ainsi que des rues du Monastère, de l'Aurore et du Levant.

Historique
Signé par le sculpteur Marcel Rau (1886-1966) et l'architecte Alphonse Boelens, le monument a été élevé en 1933 à la mémoire des civils ixellois qui prirent part à l'expansion coloniale entre 1876 et 1908 dans le cadre de l'État indépendant du Congo du roi des Belges Léopold II.

Le monument a été inauguré le 8 octobre 1933.

Description
Caché dans un massif, le monument est une colonne en pierre bleue surmontée d'une sculpture en ronde-bosse figurant la tête aux lignes épurées d'une femme de l'ethnie des Mangbetu.

La main de la femme tient une étoile en bronze doré contre son cou.

Le monument porte une inscription gravée dans le haut de la colonne: Ixelles à ses pionniers coloniaux. Les noms des pionniers coloniaux sont gravés sur le fût de la colonne, qui est orné également d'un bas-relief figurant un arbre africain encadré des dates « 1876 - 1908 » ainsi que de silhouettes d'animaux (éléphant, rhinocéros) ou de symboles comme un tambour à fente.

Russia may have a reputation as a cold country – but it's a false one, because its territory is absolutely huge and each Russian city has its unique weather. The climate of Saratov is great for any number of summer and winter outdoor activities.
Saratov's summer time begins almost in spring, so it's appropriate that the city is set for a blast of spectacularly summery weather beginning from about May 1. Average temperatures of up to 22C in May and up to 30C in June-August are typical for this time of year – so don't let them go to waste. Check out the list below with details of Saratov outdoor activities you can experience.
Bursting into bloom, Saratov's parks are reawakening in spring. The city has many parks and open spaces so there are plenty of options wherever you may find yourself. A perennial favourite, City Park has row boats, adventure park, tennis courts with swimming pool and amusements. The centrally located "Lipki" Park is surrounded by some of the city's best cultural attractions, including the Conservatory and the Radischev Fine Arts State Museum. If you have an interest in military machinery, check out the Victory Park with fascinating city view.
Medveditsa is a lovely watery heaven in the west of Saratov. It does have some great areas for canoeing. Tourists can join a canoeing tour accompanied by mature instructors. Canoeing experience is a chance to learn everything you need to know about this small craft and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Volga region. Coupled with the full camping experience of food, campfire and sports games it's going to be the total blast. If you're prepared to get wet, try one of the extreme water activities like wakeboarding or kite surfing. If you prefer "wild swimming", visit one of the city beaches or any place on the bank of the river. Swimming is allowed almost everywhere.
You can feel your stomach tickles when you're taken dozens of metres above the ground. Watch the buildings getting smaller and experience the breathtaking scenery and landmarks surrounding Saratov – green fields and endless waters of the Volga river.
If you like the chills, there's a range of thrilling flying activities for your choice – you can experience ultralight flights, try powered parachutes, maneuverable paragliders, agile hang gliders, and, of course, unforgettable parachutes. Another option would be to get a perspective of Saratov land from inside a helicopter or a small plane. While many tourists look up at the sights in cities, you can be the one who looks down on them, watching the historic buildings and iconic landmarks from above.
Check out the full list of outdoor activities including winter ones!

Validation and Recognition of non-Irish qualifications
Diagnostic Radiographers, Radiation Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists
CORU is Ireland's multi-profession health regulator. CORU's role is to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education, training and competence through statutory registration of health and social care professionals. CORU was set up under the Health and Social Care Professionals Act 2005 (as amended). It is made up of the Health and Social Care Professionals Council and the Registration Boards, one for each profession named in the Act. CORU is designated as the competent authority for their professions under Directive 2005/36/EC. Each profession has its own Registration Board which is responsible for the registration of members of the profession. The Boards assess all new applications for the recognition of qualifications awarded outside the Republic of Ireland.
CORU currently regulates the following professions:
Dispensing Opticians
Medical Scientists
Radiation Therapists
Speech and Language Therapists
The professions soon to be regulated are:
Clinical Biochemists
Orthoptists
Social Care Workers
If you require any additional information on applying for registration please see Competent Authorities for Recognition of International Qualifications
Registration queries registration@coru.ie
International Qualifications queries recognition@coru.ie
General Informal queries info@coru.ie
Introduction to Validation
The Department of Health is the competent authority for several Health and Social Care Professions including Audiology, Biochemistry, Environmental Health, Orthopty, Psychology. To read the most up to date practice and process for validation by the Department of Health please visit https://health.gov.ie/about-us/recognition-of-qualifications/
The Health Service Executive National Validation Office (NVO) administers the process on behalf of the HSE for the following profession:
Validation is the process by which non-Irish qualifications are assessed for their equivalence to the entry-level qualifications required to work in the publicly-funded health sector in Ireland. Persons cannot be employed in their professional capacity in the statutory health service, in either a permanent or temporary capacity, unless their qualifications have been recognised.
The recognition of qualifications is not a statement of suitability for a particular post/language competence.
The NVO is advised by the Podiatry Recognition of Overseas Qualifications Commitee (PROQC). Persons should not seek employment in their professional capacity in the public health sector unless and until their qualifications have been recognised.
In the course of assessing your application, the NVO will seek the advice of the Podiatry Recognition of Overseas qualifications Committee. Your data will be shared with that body and retained by it until the assessment process is complete and its advice has been conveyed to the NVO for transmission to the Department of Health.
Qualifications from EEA member states are assessed under an EU Commission Directive 2005/36/EC.
Full information on the EU Commission Directive 2005/36/EC is available on the European Commission website at: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/index_en.htm.
Article 51 of Directive 2005/36/EC states that applications must be acknowledged within one month of receipt and the applicant informed of any incomplete information or missing documentation.

The social critics commenting on the "nostalgia wave" in the 1970s and 80s often drew on the same examples: the renaissance of fifties Rock'n'Roll, nostalgic films and series like American Graffiti (1973), Happy Days (1974-84) or Dad's Army (1968-77) and vintage fashion. However, they also mentioned the popularity of museums and historical exhibitions, the conservation movement, the booming antique trade, and the heritage tourism.
As nostalgia in popular culture is comparatively well-researched, I have decided to concentrate on this second, more history-related category of examples. Instead of looking at different forms or objects of nostalgia, I will focus on historical practices. Most of these practices are much older than the twentieth century. Yet, it was from the 1960s onwards that amateurs began to appropriate these practices by amateurs. I will be concentrating on the following five practices, corresponding five case studies:
Preserving is about the preservation of historic remains in the form of buildings or, more precisely, about the conservation movement. Though dating back to the nineteenth century, the conservation only became a popular movement from the 1960s onwards. In the 50s and 60s much historical building stock was demolished because it was seen as outdated. Instead new tower blocks, suburbs and towns were built.
Conserving is about museums—yet not the grand institutions like the British Museum but rather the small-scale local museums and heritage centres. While the nineteenth century is sometimes described as the "age of the museum", it was in the twentieth century that open-air museums became much more widesspread, that the industrial past was seen as worthy of musealisation and that amateurs founded local museums on a big scale.
Collecting is about the booming antique trade in the 1970s. Whereas the ideal 60s home was modelled on a space ship, the 70s were mad about Victorian and Edwardian furniture, paintings and bric-a-brac. Once the pastime of aristocratic gentlemen, collecting bow became a popular hobby —as witnessed by the markets in Camden Passage or Portobello Road and TV programmes like Antiques Roadshow.
Researching concentrates on one specific kind of research: the reconstruction of ones family history. Again this was nothing new to the twentieth century. The ruling classes have traced their pedigree for centuries. However, it was from the 1960s onwards that ordinary people turned themselves into genealogists searching for their roots in the past.
Re-enacting, the recreation of a historic event or period through performance, is a comparatively more recent practice to bring history to life. This case study will study the development of historical re-enactment societies in the 1970s and 80s such as the British Civil War re-enactment association The Sealed Knot (founded in 1968).
As I am only starting out to work on the case studies, these pages are still very much under construction. I intend to fill them up as my work progresses.

Two Companies and an Association: The Curious Case of The Bloggers Association of Kenya
By Eric Mugendi - 09 June 2016
The Bloggers' Association of Kenya (BAKE) is a community organization that was formed in 2011 to represent a group of Kenyan online content creators. The Association seeks to empower and recognize online content creation as well as to improve the quality of content created on the web.
The idea for a Bloggers' Association first came up in 2009, with
Kennedy Kachwanya, who is the current chairman of BAKE, takes credit for the formation of the association. "The idea for BAKE came to me in early in 2011, where it would be a community for local content creators and bloggers. The community would promote local content creation and aggregate existing blogs. As a blogger at the time, I was unable to make money from blogging due to the fact that all the advertisers then thought my stats were too low for them to justify advertising on my site."
"The idea was to get the top bloggers in Kenya to join forces and use their audience numbers to compete with existing media houses for advertising", Kachwanya adds. "I then approached the leading bloggers at the time with the idea of an association and all of them agreed that it was a great idea. And that is how the Bloggers Association of Kenya came about."
Once the members had agreed on the name and the structure of the association, Kachwanya, along with James Wamathai, were effectively running association. The members approached the Government to register the organization but this request was declined at the time.
BML was started in the interim to serve as a temporary legal organization for the management of the organization. The limited company was registered with 41 bloggers as members, each with one share.
BAKE's fortunes changed in late 2013, when the Government agreed to register them as a non-profit organization. At this point, Wamathai explains that the association would take over the management of activities such as organizing the Kenyan Blog Awards, training of bloggers and aggregation of content.
Matters came to a head at the BML Annual General Meeting in February of 2016, when a motion was proposed to make BML a BAKE subsidiary.
In its 5 years of existence, BML has never held an AGM. This, according to Wamathai, is because it has been hard to convene a meeting with all the directors and members present.
At the Shareholders' AGM in February, the BML directors presented the idea of legally connecting BAKE and BML. This would involve the transfer of 57 percent of BML shares to BAKE, while the founding shareholders were to remain with 43 percent. The argument here was that BAKE needed to source for funds and raise revenues, and BML would be run as a commercial operation to do this.
The Allegations
Phileas Fogg (not their real name) is a founding member of the association. Phileas alleges that BAKE has turned into a private enterprise run at the behest of two individuals - Kachwanya and James Wamathai, who were Chairman and Director of Partnerships respectively. Phileas further alleges that the two got to their positions by virtue of heading the process of getting BAKE registered.
Phileas had been an employee at BAKE and a shareholder in BML. At the The February AGM resolved that BML would have five directors - two executive, two non-executive and one independent non-executive director.
At the AGM, Wamathai and Kachwanya were voted out, and Robert Mwirigi was retained as an executive director. Njeri Wangari was appointed as a new executive director, while Sam Mbugua and Muthoni Maingi were was voted in as non-executive directors. The independent non-executive director would be appointed at a later date.
Muthoni Maingi however had to step down due to a potential conflict of interest with her employer.
Minutes from the February 2016 AGM.
The proposal to allocate BML shares to BAKE was rejected by the members. Phileas attributes this to a perception that Kachwanya and Wamathai have failed to act in the interest of bloggers while at BML, and so allocating a controlling interest of the company to BAKE where they remain directors would maintain the status quo.
"Bloggers Media Ltd was registered in 2011 to carry out the activities of the association, that is to enable brands to work with bloggers and influencers", Phileas adds. "During that time, the two were executive directors, and they continue to undermine bloggers, instead enabling brands and other agencies to undercut us and deny us an important source of revenue."
Upon losing their directorship positions in BML, Phileas adds that Kachwanya immediately registered another limited company, BAKE Kenya Limited, supposedly as an entity of BAKE. According to Phileas, BAKE Kenya Ltd has Kennedy Kachwanya, James Wamathai and Naomi Wanjiru among its listed board members.
Kachwanya confirms that he did go on to register BAKE Kenya Limited following the BML shareholders' decision to keep BML and BAKE separate at the February AGM. He adds that this move was in response to the fact that BAKE had no means to generate income and pay employees. The new company would act as the commercial arm of BAKE, and would not be a separate entity as was the case with BML.
A lawyer we spoke to regarding this matter is of the opinion that what Kachwanya did is legal. However, if an association does an act that has not been approved by members where such approval is required under its constitution, the members can, at a duly convened meeting, either ratify that action or revoke it. Therefore, it is up to BAKE members to ratify or disaffirm the registration of the new company.
It would appear that the discontent that Phileas is expressing is driven by the fact that the registration of BAKE Kenya Limited was done with the approval of the directors at BAKE, where Kachwanya remains the Chairman, but the members were not involved. Coming so soon after he was voted out of BML and after the motion to allocate shares to BAKE was shot down, it would appear that Kachwanya was determined to set up a company by whatever means necessary.
Phileas attributes these actions to high-handedness on Kachwanya's part, adding that the general attitude has been one of frustration among the members.
"I am aware of various BAKE members' complaints that the association lacks value for membership. It feels more like a club or private entity, rather than being inclusive and welcoming to all. I don't think any of these concerns have ever been addressed," Phileas adds.
Kachwanya disagrees with these allegations, adding that he and Wamathai have only acted in good faith. Following the resignation from their board positions, the two have begun the process of handing over all the properties of BML to the new office holders. However, he states that the new office holders have been making allegations that he and Wamathai have been working against them.
Wamathai adds that he has reached out to the new board members to collect material and documents related to the company that are still in his posession, four months after he resigned from the board.
It seems there are two factors at play here. One is the perception that the two individuals associated with the establishment of BAKE continue to have an undue influence in how its activities are carried out. The other is that the organizational structure and relationship between BAKE and BML needs to be sorted out.
The organization has grown in scope and membership, the quirk that led to its registration as a limited company first before it could be registered as an association has put it in a tenuous position. The company that was intended to be a placeholder for the association remains in place even as BAKE continues to grow, and now the Chairman has thrown yet another cat amongst the pigeons by incorporating a new company.
To move on from this and get back to its mandate of furthering the cause of content creation in Kenya, the Bloggers Association of Kenya needs to do a lot of administrative housekeeping.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered time paradox - here's how you get it
By Iain Wilson 2019-05-31T10:51:18Z
Take out a different target in Pripyat and earn the hidden Time Paradox Trophy or Achievement
If the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot has you playing the original. Then you might want to tick off the Modern Warfare Remastered time paradox while you're there. You'll get a trophy or achievement, and break time as we know it. Win.
The Modern Warfare Remastered time paradox works because a passing character in the game goes on to become a significant player in later instalments. But, in the timeframe of the first, he's a no one you can kill. Or not, obviously because it breaks Modern Warfares 2 and 3.
It happens during the mission 'One Shot, One Kill' where you set out to assassinate ultranationalist leader Imran Zakhaev. However, in the background you'll see Vladimir Makarov in a vehicle parked behind Zakhaev. Here he's just a lieutenants but in later games he'll go on to lead the ultranationalist group's attacks in both Modern Warfare sequels.
If you take him out here you could stop all of that from happening, as well as earning the Time Paradox hidden Trophy or Achievement for your collection. Here's how you get it:
Keep an eye on Zakhaev as he completes his deal.
Move over to the back left vehicle to spot Makarov in the front seat.
When the time is right, take your shot on Zakhaev then immediately aim at the rear left vehicle.
Pump a few rounds into the front seat to eliminate Makarov, changing the future and collecting the Time Paradox award in the process. Good night!
Looking for more help? We also have a complete Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Intel locations guide.
Iain is better known to many as 'Mr Trophy', due to his slightly unhealthy obsession with amassing intangible PlayStation silverware, and he now has over 100 Platinum pots in his virtual award cabinet. He does not care for Xbox Achievements.

The amount of energy required to pulverise the concrete in the North WTC tower, then heat up and expand the dust cloud was more than ten times that available from a gravity-driven collapse.
Several people have said this, but Jim Hoffman lays out the figures most comprehensively. Here's his conclusion.
The official explanation that the Twin Tower collapses were gravity-driven events appears insufficient to account for the documented energy flows.
This appears to be supported with plenty of figures, but we see plenty of room for alternative views. We detail some below, but please keep in mind that we're in no way qualified to say these are correct. There's no major structural engineering experience here, no in-depth knowledge of physics: these pages are probably the most likely to be embarrassingly wrong than anything else on this site.
Or to put it another way, if you don't have the scientific knowledge to evaluate our arguments, please don't assume we're correct simply because that's the conclusion you'd prefer.
We're told that the energy required to collapse the towers and produce the dust cloud effects was more than ten times the potential energy available through a straightforward gravitational collapse. But how much energy did this source contain?
The magnitude of that source cannot be determined with much precision thanks to the secrecy surrounding details of the towers' construction. However, FEMA's Building Performance Assessment Report gives an estimate: "Construction of WTC 1 resulted in the storage of more than 4 x 10^11 joules of potential energy over the 1,368-foot height of the structure".
For example, the construction of WTC 1 resulted in the storage of more than 3 x 10^12 J of potential energy over the 1,360 ft height of the structure.
That's perhaps 7.5 times the figure estimated by the FEMA report, and in a curiously similar sentence. We might hope the more official FEMA figure is correct, but as neither documents show any calculations it's impossible to say for sure. It does seem unwise to take either figure as a meaningful maximum, though.
In addition, whatever the energy in the building, there were additional sources of energy available to be released as heat.
Hoffman asserts that most of the dust was concrete, but this may not be true.
Hoffman's calculations on pulverising, then heating the dust miss one point.
And although Hoffman assumes the dust cloud expansion is heat-driven, there may have been other contributing factors.
We've already made our lack of qualifications clear, though. Why should you believe us? No reason at all. So let's say we're wrong on every single point, and Hoffman is 100% correct. What would that imply?
We already know that Hoffman's article treats 4 x 10^11 joules as the amount of energy available for release in the towers from a gravitational collapse. And according to his conclusion this is less than one tenth of the energy required. Therefore we need to multiply this figure by at least 9, giving 36 x 10^11 joules of energy required from some other source. (And as Hoffman keeps saying the effects need more than ten times this amount of energy, and he's being conservative, then this is an absolute minimum).
Now if this was to be provided by explosives, then how much might be required?
Well, a metric ton (1,000 KG) of TNT has 4.184 * 10^9 joules ( http://www.answers.com/topic/megaton ). A ton is a lot of explosives, but not enough for us: we have to get to 36 x 10^11 joules. Which suggests we would need 860.420 tons (aka 860,420 kilogrammes, or 1,896,901 pounds) of TNT to produce the WTC collapse and its observed results.
Nearly 1.9 million pounds of explosives placed without noticing? Per tower? How many detonators do you think might be required for that? How much cabling? Is this sounding just a tiny bit unlikely to anyone?
There are more powerful explosives, of course: C4 will offer 34% more energy, for instance, reducing out requirements to 642,104 kilogrammes. Let's assume the conspirators used something ten times more powerful still: now we're down to 64,210 kg, or 141,558 pounds of this mystery explosive. Per tower. We're being generous here, but this still isn't sounding very plausible.
Does that look like the result of a nuclear explosion to you? Or just a puff of smoke or dust as a floor collapses inside the building? If such a massive amount of explosive energy is really required, then shouldn't it have been more obvious, both audibly and in the pictures?
None of this proves anything, of course, however it does suggest one of two options.
Either Hoffmans calculations are correct, in which case he's managed to prove that it's most unlikely conventional explosives can possibly have brought down the WTC.
Or Hoffmans calculations are wrong, in which case we can conclude nothing from them at all.
UPDATE: read another perspective on Hoffmans calculations in an interesting paper by Dr Frank Greening, which he's allowed us to host here.

This time we met around lunch time and began with a yoga class at Move Your Frame in Kings Cross which was amazing and much needed (for me anyway!). After the class we all caught up on our journeys and chatted along some tasty and healthy lunch. Highly recommend reading on Irena, Tami, and Lottie's journeys on their blogs too if you're looking into Proactiv and want some more confirmation because I was the same before agreeing to it!
This content has been sponsored by ProActiv+ however all results are honest and real, photos not edited.
In my previous posts (read before post HERE, read 6 weeks update HERE) I mention how I have been feeling when going through constant blemishes and regular fights with my skin - this journey has been the biggest relief. Don't get me wrong I'm not here to say I now have perfect skin, I still get the unwanted spots but they're smaller, less painful and very much in a smaller black/white head form.
After chatting to the blogger girls who are also part of this journey, I found that each one of us changed up our skincare routines in different ways which I think is so important to share with you!
Personally I have found that using the exfoliator twice a day dried my skin out - therefore I skip it in the mornings and go with the toner, pore targeting treatment and hydrator as per usual. Other girls mentioned how they're totally fine with the exfoliator however skip the hydrator now and then as they skin gets too oily, all of us did have one thing in common - we all love using the toner.
It just shows how important it is to listen to your skin and see what works for you. Pretty much all of us agreed that skin gets worse in the first few weeks up to a month (that's when many also falsely decide to quit and think it's not working!) and then a clear difference is very visible.
I hope these posts have been helpful in regards to getting a better feeling and knowledge of the products and you have been enjoying going through this journey with me. There are still a few more posts to come so keep an eye and feel free to ask me questions at any point.

Paw Paws, sometimes known as Paw Paw Bears, debuted as part of the weekday/weekend morning programming block The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera. A group of small bears that lived in a tribal society, the cubs spent every day defending themselves from their enemies, The Meanos, led by the evil sorcerer, Dark Paw. The antagonist bear and his henchmen were after the Paw Paws' three large wooden totems, Totem Bear, Totem Tortoise, and Totem Eagle. The totems also served as the tribe's protectors, coming to life when needed through means of Princess Paw Paw's Mystic Moonstone, which she wore around her neck, to defend the village. Much like The Smurfs, Shirt Tales, The Snorks, Pound Puppies, or The Biskitts, the bears had names that denoted their personalities—Laughing Paw, Medicine Paw, Bumble Paw, etc. Brave Paw and Princess Paw Paw tended to be the leads, riding into adventures on their magical flying ponies, while aging Wise Paw served as tribal advisor. The mascot of the group was a tiny dog by the name of PaPooch. The cartoon featured the vocal talents of Don Messick, Frank Welker, Scatman Crothers, Ruth Buzzi and Billie Hayes, but it was the 1st HB cartoon that introduce the cartoon world to Susan Blu who went to do the original voice of Arcee in Hasbro's legendary cartoon series The Transformers. Reruns of the show currently air on Boomerang.
Heidi 4 Paws is a feature-length children's film that retells the classic story of Heidi using dogs in all the acting roles. Heidi 4 Paws was syndicated to public television stations in the United States through American Public Television and WTTW Chicago in November/December 2008. Based on the story of the little Swiss orphan by Johanna Spyri, Heidi 4 Paws closely follows the original 1880 best-selling novel, but with a canine twist. The young Heidi is sent to live with her reclusive Grandfather high in the Alps. Just as Heidi adjusts to her new life in the mountains, she is taken away by her social worker. Heidi finds herself living in the big city with Clara Sesehound, who has been made an invalid after a debilitating illness. Although Heidi comes to love Clara, her quest to return to the mountains dominates her stay. In the end, she is able to reunite with her beloved Grandfather. When Clara later comes to visit, she miraculously regains her ability to walk. Heidi 4 Paws is the first in an intended series of eight films that retell classic stories with live action dogs playing all the roles.

Oppo makes new push with cost-effective phones
Leave a comment on Oppo makes new push with cost-effective phones
Leading Chinese smartphone vendor Oppo is making a new effort to lure consumers with cost-effective devices and a partnership with Gundam, a science-fiction media franchise that features giant robots.
The new smartphone Oppo K3 comes with a protruding dual camera setup on the rear, with the main camera containing a 16 megapixel Sony sensor.
It sports a 3D curved-glass body and uses a metal mid-frame.
The device comes with a 6.5-inch display with full high-definition resolution. The front pop-up camera on the top features a 16 megapixel sensor and it can extend in just 0.74 seconds.
Priced from 1,599 yuan ($231), Oppo K3 is part of the company's broader push to upgrade its product lineup so as to outcompete rivals in the highly competitive smartphone arena. Oppo is the second-largest smartphone vendor in China.
China's mobile phone shipments reversed the downtrend over the past five consecutive months, surging 6.7 percent year-on-year in April and amounting to 36.53 million units, according to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology.
Oppo, previously known as a pioneer in writing big checks to hire celebrities as product spokespeople, is now pouring more resources into research and development, in the hope of sustaining its competence.
Oppo said it would invest 10 billion yuan in R&D this year and expand its R&D staff to over 10,000 people.
The company also unveiled a Gundam-edition power bank to appeal to fans of the giant robots.

What Is Data Feed Optimization?
Data feed optimization is basically providing the best and most relevant information on products possible to "optimize" the data feed so that search engines will rank that product higher when shoppers perform searches.
How Does This Product Feed Optimization Work?
Search engines know that shoppers looking for a product want specific product information about that product. They locate products based on the accuracy, relevancy and completeness of product information provided in the data feed as well as how up to date that product information is. Good data feed optimization also involves good organization of product data. If done well enough aside from ranking well in search engine results your product could be used on comparison websites along side similar products. Being on such sites, like being ranked highly on search engines results in increased sales of a vendor's product.
To be effective not every product data feed will be optimized in the same way. Each recipient of the product feed may be looking for different things in that feed. Therefore each product feed must be optimized with the specific recipient in mind. A provider of data feed optimization services must be familiar with what recipients of their customers data feed are looking for. This could be anything from the type of product information that is included to the way that information is displayed, or even whether a certain size product image is requested. The more information that can be obtained on a data feeds recipients requirements and what they consider relevant to their particular needs, then the better a product data feed may be optimized.
A vendor may not be familiar with data feed optimization or have the necessary skills. Or having the skills may not have the time or just feel that a professional service will return better results. Data feed optimization, much like search engine optimization is becoming a highly specialized field of its own. Having a professional service familiar with the process and requirements and all aspects of data feed optimization is a faster, surer way of optimizing a product data feed.
Our company is at the top of the field in providing data feed optimization. We have a highly trained staff of well qualified and dedicated professionals in the field with plenty of experience. Customer support is provided by us for you around the clock. This means you may have questions answered and concerns dealt with anytime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Confidentiality of customers is always respected and we offer competitive affordable pricing for our services. This is backed by a full guarantee that you will be satisfied with our data feed optimization services.

Grey water is being considered more and more for cooling tower water, but what about untreated grey water with high concentrations of ammonia? We know how to handle the TSS, but what about ammonia in cooling water? Does ammonia do anything to the PVC fill? We had to go over to our wastewater and trickling filter group to pick their brains on this one a bit for this high of ammonia concentration. The PVC fill will handle the ammonia without a problem. Brentwood's PVC media has been used for many years in wastewater treatment systems. The concern is biological growth and fouling at those levels. They could introduce a secondary biological treatment to remove the ammonia upstream of the tower, otherwise, we would highly recommend the use of a low fouling fill and the introduction of the AccuShield antimicrobial material for the fill.
Ammonia is excellent food for microbial growth, so with this concentration in the water we would highly recommend a vertical or vertical-offset fill in order to keep the water velocities higher in order to reduce fouling, but also, the antimicrobial material of the AccuShield product is designed specifically for these applications where there is a high probability for biological growth. I would consider the VF19Plus in Accushield (or possibly the OF21MA in Accushield) to handle the microbial concern.
REYMSA is considering introducing a hybrid ammonia condenser. Basically a REYMSA counterflow fiberglass cooling tower atop a "flooded" condensing coil. As they use CF1200 now, what fill product and what depth of fill to achieve the same capacity as the 1200 would you recommend.
The CF1200 product will provide the most surface area to allow for maximum heat transfer. From your description, it sounds like you will be utilizing this style unit. If this is the case, your ammonia system is running through the lower coil section with the "cooling tower" water surrounding, or flowing over, the outside of the tube bundle and thus condensing the ammonia within the tubes to complete it's cycle back to the compressor. Unless there is a coil leak or you plan to utilize "compromised" waters in the tower, then there should not be any concern with needing to alter the fill from the CF1200 product as the manufacturer has already designed the product for optimum efficiency and the fan and drive system are designed for that fill's pressure drop.

The Lion King at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta
By Josh Jackson | January 13, 2018 | 11:20am
Photo by Deen van Meer, courtesy of Broadway in Atlanta Theatre Reviews
I was in East Africa when The Lion King was released in 1994. When I got home a couple of weeks later and saw it in the theater, I couldn't believe how well the animators captured the feeling of being on the plains of Kenya or Tanzania and watching a family of elephants silhouetted by a sunset or giraffes gracefully gliding across the horizon. Before I saw the theatrical production for the first time Thursday night, I was a little skeptical of how that same feeling could be captured by humans in costumes and puppets, despite the hype the musical has enjoyed for two decades since its 1997 debut in Minneapolis.
But the spectacle of actors portraying the creatures of the savannah—marching down the aisles, swirling poles with cloth birds fluttering, manipulating giant elephant puppets, giving a cheetah the natural grace the animal is due, even bring the plants of the jungle to life—is breathtaking.
That a '90s kids movie would translate into a Broadway smash shouldn't have been surprising. The animated Disney movies of the late 20th Century borrowed heavily from the stage musical in their structure. The soundtrack from Elton John and Tim Rice rivaled the best Broadway shows of that decade, and the best moments from the adaptation are the showstopper hits from the film: the iconic introduction of Simba during "Circle of Life," the hilarious interplay between Simba and Zazu during "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" and the classic Timba/Pumba duet "Hakuna Matata."
But that's as much due to the beauty of the ensemble's costuming and puppetry as it is to the strong vocals of the main cast. Just as the psychedelic animation of jungle animals propels "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" in the film, the introduction of brightly colored plush animal costumes on stage gives that number a more playful feel than anything else in the show. And as Simba wrestles with his identity in "He Lives in You," hidden dancers form an awe-inspiring Mufasa mask in the sky that makes Rafiki's magic come alive.
The choral arrangements of Lebo M (like the iconic opening Zulu singing) take a more prominent role in the stage production with Rafiki (Buyi Zama reprising her role on Broadway) recast as one of the show's few key female roles. The baboon also provides some of the ample physical comedy of the show that, along with updated jokes (like an imprisoned Zazu singing "Let It Go" from Frozen instead of "It's a Small World" to annoy Scar), make it such a great first trip to the theater for kids of any age.
Nick Cordileone as Timon and Broadway regular Ben Lipitz as Pumba were fantastic, though they seem to be almost cast as impersonators of Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, respectively. Apart from Zama and the two kids playing young Simba and Nala, the stand-out performance is Greg Jackson as Zazu with perfect comedic timing and stuffiness.
The costumes are faithful to the Julie Taymor original, an artistic achievement that should make this a bucket-list play for anyone who loves the arts. It's still a hefty tag on Broadway, but the touring production makes the highest grossing Broadway production of all time a little more accessible. And the Atlanta show was one of the best musicals I've seen on any stage.

Spending Millions New Cruz Super PAC Ups The Ante In Early States
By Dan Spencer | Jan 02, 2016 1:30 PM ET
Image Credit: Christopher Halloran/Shutterstock.com
Stand for Truth, a new [mc_name name='Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)' chamber='senate' mcid='C001098′ ] supporting Super PAC formed six weeks ago, will spend $4.2 million on a television advertising campaign in Iowa and South Carolina. The huge advertising blitz will consist of a $2.1 million buy in Iowa starting on Jan. 13 and a $2.1 million in South Carolina beginning Jan. 27.
The $4.2 million is in addition to the $1 million media buy announced by the Keep the Promise group of Cruz sanctioned Super PACs. Keep the Promise will spend $700,000 in Iowa for television ads and another $300,000 plus on radio and digital ads in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
As the current front runner in Iowa, Cruz has become a favorite target of the other Republican candidates desperate to do well in Iowa or New Hampshire. The $5.2 media buy should help the Cruz Campaign blunt the onslaught he knows is only going to get worse. It is also a useful counter to the $2 million a week in advertising that Trump has said he will now unleash.
Cruz understands how important it is to maintain his current momentum. That week he warned supporters of both the downside and potential of his current position:
"We're winning right now, and as a result, I want to tell everyone to get ready. Strap on the full armor of God. Get ready for the attacks that are coming. We've already seen hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in attacks directed at us. Well I went to tell you that come the month of January, we ain't seen nothing yet."
"I want to encourage everyone to get ready, because starting tomorrow morning, we are in a 90-day sprint to win this nomination, and then to turn around and win the general election," he said. "To defeat Hillary Clinton in November of 2016 and to turn this country around."
That's right. Cruz thinks it's possible the race for the Republican nomination could be over by the end of March.
