Suffolk warns others may have been exposed to confirmed cases of measles
A case of measles has been confirmed in Suffolk County, health officials said Thursday as they were exposed to the infected adult at a bank in Hampton Bays.
Anyone who was in the BNB Bank, 48 E. Montauk Hwy. , on Saturday from 12:15 pm until the bank closed at 1 p.m. Suffolk County Department of Health
Health officials have released few details about the infected person, other than to describe the individual as someone who recently arrived in the United States. The infection does not appear to be related to outbreaks in other New York communities, where the measles virus has been spreading for months.
Bruce Farber, chief of infectious diseases at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, a division of Northwell Health System.
Vaccination bolsters herd immunity, the safety net that protects communities when the majority of people are incapable of contracting or spreading an infection. , Farber said.
"Measles is extraordinarily contagious. It is one of the most contagious, if not the most contagious infectious disease, "Farber said.
He added that there are many pockets of long-standing measles infection around the world, namely in Israel and parts of Eastern Europe. However, a massive outbreak in Madagascar, an island nation located off the eastern coast of Africa, has killed more than 300 people in recent weeks, mostly children.
Measles is a respiratory infection caused by a virus that can reside in the nose and throat mucus of an infected person. An explosive rash is a distinguishing feature. The infection can spread through coughing and sneezing. And studies show that the virus can survive for up to two hours in the airspace where an infected person has coughed or died.

last measles case in Suffolk was documented in 2017, when an infant who contracted the infection outside the United States was treated at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip. The last instances of measles in Nassau were in 2013, when two cases were traced to exposures outside the country.
Suffolk's case arrives as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed Thursday that measles cases nationwide rank as the highest since the infection was declared eliminated in 2000.
Surging numbers of cases have been reported in 22 states, totaling 695 infections this year, CDC officials said
The agency attributed the escalating number of cases to large clusters of measles, especially in Brooklyn and in Rockland County in New York, as well as in Washington state where another outbreak has occurred. The New York clusters are not only among the largest in the country, they are part of a sustained pattern of infection, dating to October.
"This current outbreak is deeply troubling and I call upon all healthcare providers to assure patients about. the efficacy and safety of the measles vaccine, "CDC director Robert Redfield said." must work together as a nation to eliminate this disease once and for all. "

GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK) and Chroma Therapeutics Limited announced today a collaboration to develop macrophage-targeted compounds using Chroma's proprietary esterase-sensitive motif (ESM) technology, which adds amino acid esters to compounds with the aim of targeting the compounds to specific cells in the inflammatory disease process.
Under the terms of the collaboration with GSK's Centre of Excellence for External Drug Discovery (CEEDD), Chroma will undertake four discovery and development programmes to identify small molecule therapeutics, including its macrophage-targeted HDAC inhibitor programme for inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. Chroma will receive a significant up-front cash payment and, in addition, GSK will invest in Chroma's Series D equity financing, announced separately by Chroma today.
Chroma is eligible to receive milestones, option fees and tiered royalties based on compounds arising from the collaboration. Overall, Chroma has the potential to receive in excess of $1 billion in total milestone and option payments in the event that all four programmes are successful.
For each program, Chroma will have responsibility for research and development activities through completion of clinical proof of concept studies. After the completion of such studies for each programme, or earlier if it so chooses, GSK may elect to obtain an exclusive, worldwide license to product candidates within the program. At such time GSK will assume full responsibility for development and commercialisation. Chroma will retain full rights to further develop and commercialise its product candidates in any programme GSK chooses not to license.
"This agreement marks GSK's continued efforts to access the best science and technology platforms worldwide" said Shelagh Wilson, Vice President and Head of the European CEEDD. "We believe Chroma's ESM platform has tremendous potential, and look forward to working with Chroma to accelerate the discovery and development of innovative new medicines for patients"
Chroma has developed its "Esterase Sensitive Motif" (ESM) technology which attaches specific chemical motifs onto active drugs to enhance the delivery of the drugs to specific targets within cells. The result is a drug-motif that is freely transported into the cell but, once the moiety is cleaved within the cell by intracellular esterases, it leaves an active charged species that cannot cross the cell membrane easily. Over time, the drug-motif will accumulate within the cells, resulting in increased potency and duration of action.
Chroma has developed a subset of these chemical motifs that are cleaved only within monocytes and macrophages. This approach has potential in the treatment of inflammatory disorders, by helping to deliver a drug selectively to these cell types, which are implicated in a variety of serious diseases including inflammatory disorders, cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes and other conditions.
Chroma Therapeutics, based in Oxford (UK), is a drug discovery and development company focused in the fields of oncology and inflammatory disorders. Chroma is building a broad pipeline of first- or best-in-class treatments utilising its expertise in chromatin biology and its novel intracellular accumulation technologies, which include the ability to selectively target drugs to macrophages. Chroma is backed by a number of leading specialist investors, including Abingworth, Essex Woodlands, Gilde, Nomura Phase4 and The Wellcome Trust.

There is a reason that Ocean Beach has stayed as OB and did not suffer the fate of, say, its neighbor to the north – Mission Beach.
Have you been up to Mission Beach lately? Walked or biked on the Boardwalk? Surfed the MB curls?
Did you realize there's no community left there? It's all time-shares, vacation rentals, and empty buildings.
But most importantly for us, it's practically wall-to-wall 3 story expensive giants facing the ocean for – literally – miles – all along the famous Boardwalk.
And the reason OB didn't go that way is because of urban planning tools and the unique planning document known as the OB Community Plan. The OB plan has been the blueprint for construction and development in OB since the mid-1970s when it was finalized.
Ever since then, the OB Planning Board has operated with volunteers to follow that OB Plan.
One of the major tools the Planning Board has used to limit bulky over-development here in the Land of OB has been the FAR – the Floor-Area-Ratio. In the coastal sections of OB, the FAR is 0.70. In contrast Mission Beach has a much higher FAR which allows developers to construct mammoth buildings that crowd out the beach.
In terms of density, most of OB is roughly 8 to 10 units per acre. One way density is controlled is through a calculation determined by the size of the lot and the size of the building being planned. It's called the FAR – the Floor Area Ratio. This is a ratio between the size of the building over the size of the lot.
So, think this through. If you have an FAR of 1.0 – that means you could build out to every inch of your lot, right (not counting setback requirements yet)? If allowed, you could do this several ways. You could build out to the property line with one story. Or you could build two stories, each with 50% of the lot, or 3 stories, each with one-third, and so on.
Of course, there are all kinds of set-back requirements, side yards, parking issues – which prevent you from building out to your property line, but we aren't dealing with them right now.
Now, if you have an FAR that is less than 1.0, then you have restrictions of how far out or how high you could build.
The FAR in Ocean Beach is 0.7. So is a lot of Point Loma. In comparison, much of the rest of San Diego is 1.2. So, in general, we find that building in Ocean Beach – at the coast – is more restrictive than in the rest of the city. Makes sense.
So, take your typical OB lot, a residential plot. It's got a 25 foot length across the front and is 100 feet deep. Okay, so the square footage for the lot is 2500 square feet. If the FAR for that lot is .7, then the maximum ratio of the building being planned to the land is .7, or 70%. And seventy percent of the 2500 sq. ft. lot is 1,750 square feet. That is the total size of the building that can be built on that type and size of lot in OB.
So, since this is your typical OB lot – in a certain and dramatic way it's also the standard lot. Keep this in mind for later.
Now, we already said that the area zoned RM2-4 is your area west of Sunset Cliffs Blvd – with Sunset Cliffs being an obvious north-south dividing line in the community.
Now, here's an anomaly: according to the City's development code, a minimum lot in the RM2-4 zone is 6,000 square feet. Well, think about it – this is OB. There are no single lots in OB of that size, no single lots here in OB with 6,000 sq. ft. Well, you might say, okay, Ocean Beach is the exception in that zone.
Yet according to research done by a Planning Board member, outside OB, there's only about a dozen parcels in the entire city that are zoned RM2-4. Or in other words, 99% of the parcels that are zoned RM2-4 are in OB. Except for some exceptions. This means, 'no, OB is not the exception in this zone, it's the rule, it's the standard.' The Code is wrong.
One of the other requirements and restrictions to building is the parking element. Under the requirements of the RM2-4 zone in the OB Precise Plan, the building must include enclosed parking. So, that 1,750 square foot area must include an enclosed parking space, which usually makes up 25%.
What does all this mean for OB today – June 2014?
You may have heard that the San Diego Planning Commission dissed the new Update to the OB Community Plan.
And now OB is gearing up for a show down at the June 30th meeting of the full City Council. There's a facebook page in support and there is an important Petition to Support the OB Community Plan.
Download and print out the Petition, and circulate it among your neighbors and friends. And return it to the Planning Board or drop it off at Dog Beach Dog Wash.
With the changes the Planning Commission wants OB's Community Plan might as well be called the 'South Mission Beach Community Plan'.
I have email news "alerts" for OB, Point Loma, Mission Bay and Mission Beach. The only alerts I receive about Mission Beach are rental ads or for sale notices. It's sad.
Over the years, I have watched as Mission Beach lost its only elementary school, its post office, a free medical clinic, and possibly its soul. I often bike around Mission Bay, and when I'm on the Mission Bay bike path, many of the buildings are closed up – no one's there.
I think the "free" clinic might still be there, in some sense…Christina forced me to go see a doctor when I stopped breathing and collapsed in the kitchen a couple years ago, they asked me about my income, charged me $140, and I had a 5 minute chat with the doc who advised me to take two aspirin and call her in the never.
Dave – it's true that there is still a low-pay medical clinic in MB. I was referring to the "original" one where I worked for 6 years. It was not free when I was there, but like we charged patients $2 a visit in the early 80's. Gradually, as funds for non-profits dried up and as the local patient base in MB dried up, the clinic could not survive as a non-profit and was bought by a system of clinics.
It was the Beach Area Community Clinic, and it had a great Women's Health Clinic, a psych unit, outreach and PR programs, etc. I worked there for 6 years, met my daughter's mom there. And, the people who worked there over the years have once-in-awhile get together reunions. Nancy Casady – the CEO of People's – worked there.
I remember it well, I got a series of shots there in 1979 before a long trip down through Central America. It was a great service. I met a New Zealand couple there, folks from all over used that clinic. I ran into them sometime later in a cafe in Mexico City, very cool.
"See the line of Indians leaving Rancho Malario to make room for YOU!" We could be the Indians.
The enclosed parking requirement is not "usually" 25%, it's mandated to be 25%. Of a 1,750 sf. structure that limits the structure to 1,312.5 sf. with 437.5 sf. of dedicated parking area… a pretty generous parking area in my opinion. Another ramification of RM-2-4 is that if there's parking on the ground floor, 40% of the ground floor must be habitable area… so, no garages comprising entirely the first floor in OB. Though I'm not sure why this is the case or who it helps.
I'm also unsure of why the precise plan, the OBPD or anyone else involved in the matter isn't addressing density. Why don't the 25×100 lots allow for two units as is often the case of buildings that have been grandfathered in OB? What's obvious is that RM-2-4 is not the correct designation for OB but no one is trying to change that, instead focusing on limiting every 3-story house that's going to eventually go in on W. Point Loma to 1,312.5 sf. Your eye isn't going to notice the missing 400 sf. from the street. They're still going to be 30 feet high, they're still going to replace the duplex that once stood in their place and no one in OB is still going to be happy about it.
The point is to halt the construction of these 3-story houses, and get them to scale back to a design that fits with the character of OB.
I understand that. I just don't think shaving off 400 sf of house is going to achieve the results everyone's after.
I think if we had had the foresight to write the height limit as "30′ for peaked roof, 22′ for flat roof", that might have done better to help preserve WPL from gentrification.
Ok, well back to my point on density: Even if one complies with the FAR and doesn't request the 25% parking area variance as the houses on WPL have, a 1,300 sf. single family residence is still about 200 sf. bigger than the community character everyone wants to maintain. But with the ability to put a duplex on a 25×100 lot you wind up with two units at a max of 875 sf. without the parking area requirement – which is very much in line with community character. Density needs to be discussed. This FAR issue is distracting from what OB really wants.
Parking is already a severe problem in OB – ever been down Muir at night?
The mandated parking area allotment and the parking count are two distinct things. The required parking on a lot is dependent on the type of development and doesn't change without a variance or deviation of its own. Whether or not these houses are receiving a variance for the 25% required parking *area* they still need to comply with the parking ratios per table 142.05C.
The parking requirements may be poorly written, but I would say that we need parking requirements, not just to avoid additional stress on street parking caused by new construction, but to ensure that redevelopment resolves parking stresses caused by previous construction that didn't include adequate parking.
I think it's reasonable to demand a standard size parking space for each bedroom, tandem permitted only for multiple bedrooms in a single living unit. I don't understand the 40% ground floor restriction, it seems to me that 2-story carriage house would not be out of character for OB. There are also locations like the vacant lot on Santa Monica, where below ground parking would still be at or above the grade of the street and would make perfect sense (given it could be built without destabilizing the adjoining properties).
When I was on the PCPB, we had to watch the parking features like a hawk, the City did not.
Your the first voice of reason I've heard from OB.
And yet, Mission Beach has one of the strongest Women's Clubs in San Diego. Go figure.
It's true, but it's like that old church that still stands in the neighborhood where all the parishioners have moved away yet return every Sunday to the old hood. I had a great-aunt who was a member and who lived in the neighborhood years ago.
It is so sad to see the walled off boardwalk where there is no more sense of community left.
In OB, history seems to be repeating itself with the same struggles from outsider developers/a few insiders, ignoring the community character and history, just wanting build big, big and bigger! O.B. is special and doesn't need to fad off into gentrification. Tell the politicos that spouted taking care of neighborhoods to keep us a neighborhood, a real beach town!
I love OB. I've only been in OB for 8 years, though born and raised along the coast in Southern California. With the influx of people, limited housing, and desire for coastal living, it is inevitable that coastal communities will change.
What sets OB apart from other places is its soul. That is more important than the height of buildings.
They're connected. The only reason OB still has a soul is that they don't just let anyone build anything they want here.
You think that is the "only reason OB still has a soul is that they don't just let anyone build anything they want here"???? Does that mean places with tall building have no soul?
Yeah, places with huge tall buildings and malls full of generica have no soul. That's exactly what it means.
False equivalence. No one is saying people can't redevelop or remodel.
Channel 10 News interviewed me and Mindy Pellessier today and they broadcast a fairly good story tonight at 6pm.

The LTFC Archive - Harrison Park
Harrison Park is the home of Leek Town, here with the help of some never previously published photos on the web we take a look at how it has changed over the years.
One of the earliest photos we have showing any of Harrison Park is this team photo from 1954. The factory on the opposite side of Macclesfield Road can clearly be seen in the background along with the end house in Grace Street.
This team photo from 1974 was taken in front of the old main stand.
The following two team photos are from the early 1980's. The first shows the Macclesfield Road end with the fence now in place although this is no roof on the end at this stage.
This photo has the Kiln Lane End in the background which at this stage was simply a grass bank.
This 1986 line-up once again shows the main stand...
... and this was the old main stand in it's final guise before it was knocked down at the beginning of the 1990's.
This photo was taken of the ground from Kiln Lane during the run to the FA Trophy final in 1990 and shows the bank end is now enclosed with a roof over it.
The following photos show the construction of the main stand which is pretty much still the same today as when it was first built.
This picture was taken in late 1990 showing efforts to clear the pitch of snow before the FA Cup tie with Chester City. By now the Macclesfield Road end is covered.
The ground remained largely unchanged until a floodlight upgrade was completed in 2007.
The next major project was to replace the ageing perimeter fence and dugout, pictured below on the night of the final match before demolition in 2012.
Below, some unusual shots of Harrison Park as matched were played with no perimeter fence on some sides of the ground.
New dug-outs were added at the same time.
The work finished in early 2013 and transformed the look of the ground.
Whilst all of the work had improved the facilities for spectators, there was still one major problem - the playing surface as shown here in this shot from a match in December 2013.
A grant was obtained to replace the playing surface and this was carried out in the summer of 2015.
Harrison Park is a highly-regarded stadium as was highlighted by UEFA's decision to hold a number of youth internationals at the ground including an England UEFA U17 Championship qualifer featuring England in March 2016.
So there you have it a potted history of Harrison Park over the last sixty years or so, it will be interesting to see what the next sixty brings!

Rural leaders have joined forces to call for new farm buildings to be exempted from a revised approach to development tax for local infrastructure.
The Country Land and Business Association (CLA), National Farmers' Union (NFU), Tenant Farmers Association (TFA) and Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV) are warning that proposals for a revised process called the Local Infrastructure Tariff (LIT) could "restrict rural economic growth" and prevent investment in new farm buildings, which in turn "undermines competitive agriculture".
The recommendations to the Government for the LIT follow a review of the system. Developers are already charged a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) when planning permission is granted to build residential and commercial units.
In the letter to Housing and Planning Minister Alok Sharma, the organisations say that in areas where a CIL is charged on new farm buildings, "the requirement to pay a substantial CIL charge has actually stopped farm development from taking place".
They argue that being included in the LIT will have a similar effect and cause financial strain for farm businesses. As a result they have called for a national exemption from development contributions.
The letter explains: "Most agricultural buildings are erected for the purposes of agriculture on the holding … a fundamentally different approach from most commercial buildings or housing developments which are built by investors for selling or letting.
Ross Murray, president of the CLA, said a tax aimed at housing and commercial developments is "simply inappropriate" for new agricultural buildings. "Long-standing government guidance suggests that agricultural buildings are not buildings into which the general public normally go but this is being ignored by some local authorities when setting up their CIL charging schedules," he explained.
The NFU added that farm operations tend to meet their own infrastructure needs and should not have to face "unconnected development taxes".


As part of its anti-drinking and driving strategy, the ETSC recently released a report on young drivers and alcohol. ETSC is urging the European Commission to proposal the introduction of a maximum 0.2 g/l blood alcohol content for novice drivers.
Even when their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is not high, young drink drivers are more likely to be involved in crashes than older drivers with similar BACs. Drink driving is particularly dangerous for youngsters as their tolerance of alcohol is lower. Driving is more demanding for young novice drivers than for other drivers. They need to pay more attention to the driving task and the disrupting effect of alcohol is greater than for drivers with more experience. Furthermore, alcohol reduces inhibitions, as young people possess less developed self-control mechanisms. Finally, they suffer a stronger euphoric and emotional impact from alcohol.
To stop the spread of drink driving, the ETSC believes that a BAC limit of maximum 0.2 g/l for novice drivers should be introduced throughout the EU in line with the EU Recommendation on BAC limits (2001). Alongside lower limits, the ETSC stresses that young and novice drivers be subject to special police enforcement actions.

Nursery World Awards 16: Initiatives - Provision for Two-Year-Olds
Nursery World
Daisy Chain Pre-School and Nursery, Middleton, Leeds
Two-year-olds attending the Daisy Chain Pre-School and Nursery in Middleton, Leeds, are part of a vibrant family hub, and at the heart of the local community. This community feel has been vital to the pre-school's success in attracting families and two-year-olds to access funded places in a deprived area of the city. With 75 two-year-olds currently on roll, and in receipt of the free entitlement, the setting's ability to provide an inclusive environment is a strength recognised by the judges.
Part of the five-strong group Daisy Chain Childcare, the pre-school had to pull out all the stops to transform the disused Gascoigne Community Centre into a suitable site. One of the challenges it faced was transforming a large space into a welcoming environment that would not feel daunting to a young child. Part of this involved turning an old storeroom into a sensory room, which included the commissioning of a hand-made Mongolian yurt to provide enclosed, cosy spaces for small group activities such as story time, and music and dance.
Parental feedback confirms that Daisy Chain has succeeded in creating a 'unique, friendly and welcoming learning environment with well-spaced activity areas', which ensures that two-year-olds, and older age groups, feel safe and secure.
Since opening in 2014 it has welcomed many children who need extra support, including those with autism and developmental delays. It currently has two children attending who have one-to-one support throughout their sessions, carried out by experienced staff who have strong bonds with the children and their families.
Staff work with specialist autism team STARS (Specialist Training in Autism and Raising Standards) to help review and set goals for individual children. They also work with other outside agencies including a physiotherapist and speech and language therapist, and carry out audits with Family Action, a charity which helps settings identify gaps in their services.
Daisy Chain Middleton believes its success rests entirely with its staff. Strong leadership and an investment in continuing professional development are key. This commitment to training is testified to by Catherine Whitaker, early years consultant, learning improvement at Leeds City Council. 'The emotional and physical enabling environments provided at Daisy Chain ensure children's individual needs are at the centre of any developments, and as a consequence children thrive,' she says. She adds, 'The team had a particularly trying period during the last year due to some tragic personal circumstances, but through it all remained focused and dedicated to providing the best possible experience for each child in their care.'
Parents are delighted with the care and education their two-year-olds receive. Parent Shaun Watt says, 'I believe staff at Daisy Chain Middleton have created a stable, professional, positive setting where children are supported emotionally and make exceptional progress socially and academically, through engaging and challenging activities.'
'Working with children at this age is incredibly demanding, but staff make it seem effortless, such is their enthusiasm' - Parent

What Is Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter
The law of conservation of mass states that during a chemical reaction in a completely closed system, no mass is created or destroyed. In addition, the law of conservation of mass states is that mass is preserved from reactants to products, regardless of the type of chemical reaction that occurs. Simply put, the law of preservation of the mass definition is what should come in. This equation states that six molecules of carbon dioxide combine with six molecules of water to form one molecule of sugar and six molecules of oxygen. If you add up all the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on either side of the equation, the sums would be equal; Matter is preserved in this chemical change. When animals in and around the creek eat these plants, their bodies use the stored chemical energy to fuel their cells and move around. They use the nutrients in their food to grow and repair their bodies – the atoms of the new cells have to come from somewhere. Any food that enters the body of an animal must either leave its body or become part of it; No atoms are destroyed or generated. The material is preserved even during physical and chemical changes in the rock cycle. When a stream penetrates deeper into a canyon, the rocks at the bottom of the canyon do not disappear. They are eroded by the stream and transported in small pieces, called sediments.
These sediments can settle to the bottom of a lake or pond at the end of the stream and accumulate in layers over time. The weight of each additional layer compacts the underlying layers and eventually adds enough pressure to form new sedimentary rocks. This is a physical change for the rock, but under the right conditions, the rock can also change chemically. In both cases, the material remains in the rock. The bottom line is that matter passes through the universe in many different forms. With each physical or chemical change, matter does not appear or disappear. The atoms created in the stars (a long, long time ago) constitute all living and non-living things on Earth – even you. It is impossible to know how far and through what forms your atoms have traveled to make you.
And it`s impossible to know where they`ll end up next. However, this is not the whole history of matter, it is the history of visible matter. Scientists have discovered that about 25 percent of the universe`s mass is dark matter — matter that can`t be seen, but can be detected by its gravitational effects. The exact nature of dark matter remains to be determined. Another 70% of the universe is an even more mysterious component called dark energy, which counteracts gravity. « Normal » matter therefore represents at most five percent of the universe. The concept of mass conservation is widely used in many fields such as chemistry, mechanics and fluid dynamics. Historically, mass conservation in chemical reactions was independently proven by Mikhail Lomonosov and later rediscovered by Antoine Lavoisier in the late 18th century. The formulation of this law was crucial for the transition from alchemy to the modern science of chemistry.
The law of conservation of mass can be expressed in differential form using the continuity equation in fluid mechanics and continuum mechanics as follows: To clarify, an isolated system is a system that does not interact with its environment. Therefore, the mass contained in this isolated system remains constant, regardless of the transformations or chemical reactions that occur – although the result may be different from what you had at the beginning, there may be no more or less mass than you had before the transformation or reaction. The law of conservation of matter states that mass cannot be created or destroyed. In the following, we go into detail about this law, work through some sample questions and discuss the origins of the law of mass conservation. Chemistry is a physical science that studies matter, energy and their interaction. When studying these interactions, it is important to understand the law of mass conservation. There are several ways to look at the law of conservation of mass examples. In a simple combination reaction in which two substances are chemically combined, we see preservation as follows: 300g A + 100g B – > 400g AB. In a closed system where none of the reactants are lost during the reaction process, the mass on the left side of the boom always matches the mass on the right side of the boom. It does not matter how many reagents and/or products are present.
The law of mass conservation states that in a closed or isolated system, matter cannot be created or destroyed. It may change shape, but remains. In the 18th century, very little was known about the science of chemistry and the course of chemical reactions. One of the leading chemists of his time, Antoine Lavoisier, was very interested in reactions and, in particular, in the conservation of reactants. He was the first to name certain fabrics and arrange them on a table. He named the element oxygen as part of his research, which focused on combustion. Ultimately, his research and experiments led to the development of the theory that mass is conserved in a chemical reaction. When he was able to prove it repeatedly, he lobbied for mass conservation to become a law in chemistry.
Thus, the law of conservation of mass became popular with other scientists and the growing field of chemistry. The law of conservation of matter states that nothing new is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. On the contrary, the reactants and the products all contain the same material, it was only rearranged during the reaction process. For example, the law of mass conservation also makes it possible to determine the unknown mass of a product or reactant in a chemical reaction in which all other masses are known. When 50g A reacts with 75g B, the AB product that forms has a mass of 125g in a closed system reaction that preserves mass. If the mass of A with 50 g and the mass of AB with 125 g is known, but the mass of B is unknown, the mass of B can be calculated as follows: 125 g – 50 g = 75 g. The mass of B is 75g. In reality, the conservation of mass is only approximate and is considered part of a set of assumptions in classical mechanics. The law must be amended to conform to the laws of quantum mechanics and special relativity under the principle of mass-energy equivalence, which states that energy and mass form a conserved quantity.
For very high energy systems, it is shown that the conservation of pure mass does not hold, as is the case with nuclear reactions and particle-antiparticle annihilation in particle physics. The law of mass conservation states that if a chemical reaction takes place in a closed system, there is no gain or loss of mass during the reaction process. Mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Chemical reactions can be written as equations of words, where the reaction is written in words, or chemical equations, where the chemical formulas of reactants and products are used instead of words. A balanced chemical equation uses coefficients to adjust the number of reactants and products so that the number of each type of atom is equal on both sides of the reaction equation. A balanced chemical equation satisfies the law of conservation of mass, while an unbalanced chemical equation does not. Q1. 10 grams of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) gives 3.8 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6.2 grams of calcium oxide (CaO). Represent this reaction in terms of the law of conservation of mass.
Answer: According to the law of conservation of mass: mass of reactants = mass of products ∴ 10 grams CaCO3 = 3.8 grams of CO2 + 6.2 grams of CaO 10 grams of reagent = 10 grams of products According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products for a thermodynamic process of low energy. Chemical reactions can be described in two ways: word equations and chemical equations. In an equation of words, the names of reactants and products are used instead of chemical formulas. A chemical equation uses chemical formulas to illustrate what happens in a reaction. However, to show the law of conservation of mass in an equation, the chemical equation must be completely balanced. According to the law of conservation of mass, matter is neither created nor destroyed by any physical or chemical change. However, it can change from one form to another. Below we have listed an experiment you can use to test the law of conservation of mass.
Requirements: H-shaped tube, also called Landolt tube; sodium chloride solution; Silver nitrate solution. Method: The sodium chloride solution is taken from one branch of the H-tube and the silver nitrate solution from the other member, as shown in the figure. Both members are now sealed and weighed. Now the tubes are avoided so that the solutions can mix and react chemically. The reaction takes place and a white precipitate of silver chloride is obtained. The tube is weighed after the reaction. The mass of the pipe is exactly the same as the mass obtained before the inversion of the pipe. This experience clearly confirms the law of conservation of mass. An important idea in ancient Greek philosophy was that « nothing comes out of nothing, » so what exists now has always existed: no new matter can arise where there was none before. An explicit statement on this subject, as well as the additional principle that nothing can pass into anything, is found in Empedocles (c.

Tuc Hoang | March 17, 2021 March 4, 2021 | All Gene, Literature & Fiction
Threats that once gave the four girls a chill have now become reality, their lives perish in front of their eyes and there is nothing they can do about it. Dark deeds from the past just hover over their heads like bad luck that they cannot escape. Emily gets the slap first in form of a shift, she is forced to leave the hometown and move to Iowa. It was Emily who fell in love or had a crush on the new girl in the college. She tries to hide her feelings but now everything has just slipped out of her hands.
Living with the cousins in Iowa was the last thing that she wanted in the wish list but here she is facing the situation of her life. Sara Shepard paints Aria's fate much worse than that of Emily. Aria wanted to be with her English teacher in Pretty Little Liars and when her feelings got out of hands she went to a bar for a timeout.
Luckily the man that she was blessed with for the night was the same person she was stalking the whole summer i.e her English teacher. That one moment caused her much since then but she is not ready to let go of the bond that was created in the bar. Sadly that bond breaks here as Cassandra Morris narrates about the imprisonment of the man that used to make Aria go wild in thoughts.
Spencer too is trying to save her skin as the police are on her tail for a big case. But Miss Beautiful i.e Hanna is nowhere to be seen because she is in the hospital with death approaching her sooner than all of them expected. After Perfect no one was ready to see the four bad girls in such a situation because they were thinking of a way out. Here they fail in all their attempts and the villain plays with them like puppets.

Thanks in Advance
u_id<-"123"
inv_id <-222

url <- paste0("https://www.google.com/","?id=",u_id, "&inv_id=", inv_id)

ui <- fluidPage(

  titlePanel("open url"),

  sidebarLayout(
    sidebarPanel(
      actionButton("id",

Pakistan dismiss Proteas, lead by 113 runs
RIZWAN ALI

Fast bowler Hasan Ali's five-wicket haul earned Pakistan a vital 71-run first innings lead against South Africa on the third day of the second Test in Rawalpindi.
Hasan, returning to the five-day format after a two-year absence due to injuries, took 5-54 as South Africa was bowled out for 201 on Saturday.
Pakistan's problems up front continued in the series after losing openers Abid Ali (13) and Imran Butt (0) before going to tea at 2-42 with a 113-run lead.
Kagiso Rabada trapped Butt lbw before Pakistan had scored in their second innings. The right-handed opener, who made his Test debut at Karachi where Pakistan won by seven wickets, has only scored 36 runs in four innings after Shan Masood was dropped for the home series.
Abid also had below-par scores of 4, 10 and 6 in the previous three Test innings before he was caught behind off left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj for his top score in the series.
Azhar Ali survived a close lbw against Maharaj and was unbeaten on 22 while captain Babar Azam was not out on 5.
Earlier, Hasan picked up three wickets, and poor running cost South Africa two run-outs before the visitors were bowled out half-an-hour after lunch.
Temba Bavuma, who resumed on 15, fought a lone battle to remain unbeaten on 44 off 138 balls before Hasan wrapped up the innings by claiming the last two wickets off successive deliveries.
Bavuma and Wiaan Mulder (33) dug in for 90 minutes and raised a half-century stand before Pakistan struck with two quick wickets in the last half hour before lunch.
Mulder was was run-out while going for a needless second run before George Linde, who scored a run-a-ball 21 with three fours and a six, was deceived by Hasan with a slower delivery and was clean bowled.
Resuming on 4-106, captain Quinton de Kock's poor run of form in the series continued when he could add only five to his overnight score of 24 and was clean bowled by Shaheen Afridi (1-37) in the third over of the day.
Umpire Ahsan Raza erred for the second time in the day when Maharaj successfully went for lbw television review after the on-field umpire had ruled him out off Hasan as South Africa moved to 7-188 at lunch.
Hasan returned after the interval and cleaned bowled both Maharaj and No.11 Nortje, and Rabada was run out.

English today is the language of the world, the basic common language of humanity. English became the global language through the three central powers of the Western world: the Roman Empire, the British Empire, and the United States of America. The Roman Empire was the first central power and the first empire of the Western world, but also its geographical base. It laid the geographical foundations of the Western world, since through its geographical territory it connected a large part of the Western world, forming a base; all these territories and their populations for the first time somehow were connected, triggering this development. Ancient Rome was the geographical foundation and Ancient Greece had been the cultural foundation of the Western world. Ancient Greece influenced Ancient Rome and also Latin was influenced by Ancient Greek. The western world was founded on the temperate climate and the suitable geographical conditions of the Mediterranean Sea. The Roman Empire promoted Latin in the territories under its dominion, part of which was the present English geographical area. Latin was promoted in those parts that formed a base for the Western world and later became countries; the Latin alphabet was adopted as the common alphabet.
On the island of Great Britain, several, different population groups, which passed through, blended and integrated to create the English culture and the English country, created a language, a mixture of influences from various population groups based on the Latin alphabet. As history progressed, England became an empire, the British Empire, the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution, the foundation of modern capitalism, the first central power of capitalism and the next central power of the Western world. Through this influence, as the epicenter of the Industrial Revolution and as a colonial power already, England, too, promoted the English language in its colonies, the territories under its dominion. After the medieval period various European powers started the modern colonialism that expanded all over the world. During colonialism some of the biggest crimes in human history happened. As a colonial power, England's geography, location and topography, being an island, played a crucial role. Its geographical location was critical, just as for other colonial powers, such as Spain, Portugal, and France, with open access to the sea, particularly the Atlantic Ocean, and also being geographically advantageous over the Americas. Geographically, Spain and Portugal, countries in the south of Europe and on the same line of latitude as the Mediterranean, began imperialism in the Americas, mainly in South and Latin America. Correspondingly in geographical terms, later on, England, a northern European country, as well as France and others to a lesser degree, expanded mainly in North America.
The Balkans is the first peninsula, at the entrance of Europe from the east, in the temperate Mediterranean Basin. The Balkan peninsula, the present-day Greek mainland part and the islands around it, is the entrance and passage to Europe from the exit points of Africa, which is the origin of humankind. The exits points were the one where Africa meets Eurasia at the Sinai peninsula, and the other where Africa is close to Eurasia in the Arabian peninsula, at the modern Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. Present-day Greece, being in the entrance of Europe from the exit points of the origin of Africa and in the temperate Mediterranean Basin, was the suitable geographical place for civilization to begin on European ground during the Bronze Age, and later in the Archaic and Classical periods, to be developed this civilization, that is considered the cradle of Western civilization. The next, second peninsula, and in the middle of the Mediterranean Basin, the Italian peninsula, constituted the start of ancient Rome and later the center of an empire that expanded across the Mediterranean Basin and then across Europe, the Roman Empire, the first empire in Europe. The fall of the Roman Empire is one of the landmarks of the beginning of the Middle Ages or medieval period, which lasted around a thousand years, and the European discovery of the Americas, one of the landmarks of its end. The Renaissance that had already started, and the Age of Discovery, are considered the periods of the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era. The Renaissance, and also mercantilism, the ancestor of capitalism, have their beginning in the Italian peninsula again, the middle peninsula at the center of the Mediterranean. The next, third and last peninsula of the Mediterranean Basin, is the Iberian Peninsula, a peninsula in the southwest corner of Europe and the westernmost edge of Eurasia. The Iberian Peninsula has the geographical particularity on the one side to be bounded by the temperate Mediterranean Sea, being also on the same latitude, and on the other side to be bounded by and open to the Atlantic Ocean. It is basically divided between Spain and Portugal. The Age of Discovery, the overseas exploration, but also colonialism, were led by Portugal and Spain. The European discovery of the Americas, a landmark of the end of the medieval period, was sponsored by the Spanish monarchies. Spain, lying on the Iberian Peninsula, and between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, evolved into the most powerful empire in the world, until the British Empire later took the lead. From the Balkan to the Italian, and to the Iberian peninsula, in the Mediterranean Basin, history expanded geographically successively in relation to the distance from the exit points of the origin of Africa, and also for so many years later. Geography determined the beginning, determined and the course of history.
The importance of geography coexists of course with the importance of human factor and human expression. The center and subject of any environmental effect, to which and where any environmental effect occurs, is the human species and human nature. Humanity is in interaction with the environment. Also, humans are social beings and their society is fundamental for their development and their expression. Social structures, institutions and the political system are fundamental for the development and expression of humans. For example, ancient Greece and ancient Rome have various negative features, as imperialism is, but they have also an element that made their societies special. It was democracy and republic and this general spirit. Democracy, in ancient Athens for example, and republic, which existed for centuries in ancient Rome, were the cores of these societies and made different aspects of society to thrive. This reveals what can happen when society is more open, when society is led by society itself, by the people, and when the people and individuals are more active members of society. Something that gives special impetus to the members of society and to society as a whole, as humans are social beings.
Interaction and trade among peoples that were important factors of development and growth had changed in time. They were more favored in the south and in areas of similar latitude to the Mediterranean. In general, gradually over the years, technological changes also changed the conditions, overcoming geographical limitations. Conditions changed gradually in fields such as farming, trade and shipping. That also brought growth to more northern European geographical places than the Mediterranean. The means of transport and objects of trade had also changed. Furthermore, the seas and seaways, that were important to transport and trade, as well as expansionism, previously took place mainly in the Mediterranean Sea, that was almost completely enclosed by land, located in a more southern latitude with a temperate climate, that eventually opened to the ocean. In general, the shift from farming to industry, took growth to more northern geographical parts and climates, which were favorable to workers while more southern were favorable to farmers. From the Agricultural to the Industrial Revolution, geography has always determined humankind. England gave a complete form to and established mercantilism, that had begun in Italy, and later took the lead from the Spanish Empire in shipping and as the most powerful empire in the world. Also, England had started to develop a form of a capitalistic agricultural system. Later, there was also another, modern, British Agricultural Revolution, also helped by technological changes, that contributed to the Industrial Revolution. The geography of Great Britain combined the geographical advantages for growth at the time, at first for shipping and also later for industry, being an island, the largest European one, open to the Atlantic Ocean, and located in Northern Europe. The same happened with the Ancient Rome before, which started from the middle peninsula and in the center of the temperate Mediterranean Sea, that with suitable geography eventually evolved into the first empire that extended over the European territory. The Mediterranean Sea has a temperate climate, specifically the particular Mediterranean climate. It is almost completely enclosed by land, and located right above the origin of humankind which is Africa. The particularity of the Mediterranean area is the creator of the beginning of the Western world. The Mediterranean Basin offered the favorable geographical and climatic conditions for the foundation of the Western world, which was founded in ancient Greece. The Western world started from the Mediterranean and was during its evolution transferred to the Americas as part of its continuity, with the USA being a creation and a continuation of Europe.
The British Empire, like the Roman Empire, promoted its language in territories under its dominion, its colonies. The same happened to some of the North America, one of its colonies, the present USA. After World War II, England, weakened by the war and losing its colonies, gave way to the United States, which in turn became the central power of the Western world and the next epicenter of capitalism. The United States of America were founded by the American Revolution against English colonialism, a historical event that together with the French Revolution are two of the most important events in modern history of humankind that shaped the Western world and the world as a whole. The American and French Revolutions were inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, a period of expression of ideas that have shaped humanity and the world and changed their course. The United States, with its impact as the epicenter of modern capitalism and the central power of the Western world, is the dominant role model producing country for the rest of the planet. The United States, which adopted English as a colony of the British Empire, became the central power of the Western world and the epicenter of capitalism. And previously, the territory of the Roman Empire that formed a base for the Western world, England being a part, had adopted the Latin alphabet. The US with its impact being the epicenter of modern capitalism, have promoted English worldwide through the media and the Internet, a global impact, such as through the music and film industry and the economic system in general, establishing English as the language of the world. English is the dominant language on the Internet, the media, music and cinema, but also of markets, companies and advertising, things with a global impact. English is the language most people speak in addition to their mother tongue and the most widespread language of communication for people of different origin regardless of location.
This way, through the three central powers of the Western world, and through the globalized features of the modern community of humans, English became the universal language, the language of the world. The impact of the Western world and its course today affects and shapes all of the world. If things change in the Western world, there will also be a change of things in the world as a whole. Western civilization is just a part of human civilization. Civilization is common and universal to humankind. The emergence of civilization is a feature of human species. Civilization is of our species, common to humankind, the human civilization. The future of humanity and of the Earth is common to all humans.
Human nature and humanity are common and universal to humans. Internet, today, has no geographic boundaries, which can be global and universal. All the human knowledge, interaction, interrelation and interconnection among humans can be universal to humankind. Humans can become more and more united. People, on the Internet today, using English, can communicate universally, without boundaries or barriers, in the common language of humanity.

Q: Using HAC in ARIMA model I have a model in EViews (made by a third party) and it looks like this
dlnY c dlnX1 dlnX2 ar(1)

Additionally for the covariance method "HAC (Newely-West)" is used.
HAC is used as there is some heteroscedasticity, and it removes it nicely. But some autocorrelation remains which should be taken care of with ar(1) (however it is not; in fact, testing of the model showed that ar(1) ar(2) and ar(3) are all significant).
Shouldn't HAC (in theory) take care of autocorrelation? How is it justifiable to use both AR and HAC at the same time?
Also, I am skeptical about "post-hoc" optimization. What is the general opinion about that?

The April issue of The Forestry Source, leads off with "The Sagebrush Rebellion Renewed: Bills Aim to Create Trusts to Manage Federal Timber," by Steve Wilent, Forestry Source editor. The article begins with what I perceive to be a very narrow view of the origins of the 1980s Sagebrush Rebellion, blaming it all on "environmentalists". The article ends with what I perceive to be cheerleading for "forest trusts" as a solution to current problems including the impending drying up of "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act" funding. It is an opinion-editorial, so Wilent is entitled to his perspective. But I thought I'd share it with you, since my own framing of this matter is much different. I see the 1980s Sagebrush Rebellion being just one of many from a West that was always angry over public lands. In my frame, fully funding Payments in Lieu of Taxes is a better solution to the rural schools problem. And I find the "forests trusts" idea a non-starter in dealing with America's national forests.
Wilent's article begins:
In his 1993 book, Federal Land, Western Anger R. McGregor Cawley describes the Sagebrush Rebellion as "a protest originating from three interrelated perceptions: first, that environmentalists had succeeded in gaining a dominant position in federal land policy discussions; second that the environmental community's influence had created an underlying bias in favor of preservation over development in federal land management decisions throughout the 1970s; and third, that the only way to counteract the increasingly restrictive character of federal land management decisions was to precipitate an open confrontation."
The first shot in that confrontation was fired in 1979, when the Nevada state legislature passed a bill that sought to transfer control of 40 million acres managed by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) – about 79% of Nevada – to the state. …
In February, Utah fired a new salvo when its house of representative passed the Transfer of Public Lands Act….
My own framing, built in part off the Public Land Law Review Commission's "History of Public Land Law Development", here, tracks the Sagebrush Rebellions (several of them, with continued skirmishes in between) back to the fights for statehood in the USA. In my state of Utah the fight was nasty and long-standing. Some Utahan's were mad back then and continue to be mad today, with their anger welling-up periodically. Ron Arnold may have captured the spirit of that 1980s "Rebellion" as well as did the Society of American Foresters (SAF) article, calling it "a temper-tantrum over public lands thrown by a handful of cowboys". That "temper-tantrum" turned into yet-another bandwagon that powerful rural Western politicians could jump onto—which they ultimately parlayed into substantial gains. Here is what Frank J. Popper had to say about these "gains" in "A Timely End of the Sagebrush Rebellion" (pdf), National Affairs 76, Summer 1984.
The Sagebrush Rebellion did not fail—it ended because it achieved many of its goals. The Reagan administration rapidly found clever, politically appealing ways to start to transfer some public lands without having to ask Congress for new legislation. Watt's Interior Department undertook a "good neighbor policy" that allowed state and local governments to request the department's "surplus" lands. The initiative was soon broadened to an Asset Management Program whereby all federal agencies could sell their excess land in the West and elsewhere; the eventual sale of 35 million acres–an area the size of Iowa–was expected. Separately, the Forest Service prepared to sell up to 17 million acres. The federal land agencies sped up the transfers to Alaska's state government and Native Americans authorized by the 1958 Statehood Act, the 1971 Native Claims Settlement Act, and the 1980 National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The BLM experimentally revived homesteading in the Kuskokwim Mountains in central Alaska. Numerous federal-Western state land exchanges were in exploratory stages, and seemed most advanced in Utah. [p. 68]
Another look at the 1980s Sagebrush Rebellion, from "A Brief History of the Anti-conservation Movement" frames the issues as conservatives v. liberals:
At its most basic level the Sagebrush Rebellion was a conservative backlash against the growth of federal power represented by, among other things, such landmark environmental legislation of the late 1960s and '70s as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. These legislative programs created new roles and concerns for managers of federal land — protection of endangered species, water quality, air quality, etc. This required closer scrutiny of activities on federal lands, including the activities of miners, loggers and ranchers who operated there. Significantly, these businesses usually enjoyed substantial operating subsidies by virtue of longstanding below-market rates for grazing, mineral and timber rights on federal land. This closer scrutiny inevitably led to federally imposed restrictions when mining, grazing and foresting practices damaged the water and air and threatened endangered species. Recognizing that a return to the good old days of less regulation would be good for business, the movement took support and comfort from the 1980 election of Ronald Reagan, one of whose campaign planks was reduction of the size and power of government. Certain Reagan cabinet appointees, most notably James Watt as Secretary of the Interior and Anne Gorsuch as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, were selected in part for their willingness to further the de-regulatory agenda of Reagan and the right wing of the Republican Party. …
The Anti-Conservation Movement further benefitted from the attention it received from industries with something to gain. In particular, big agriculture (the American Farm Bureau Federation, The Cattlemen's Association), the extractive industries (mining, including coal, oil and gas) and timber producers (who thrive on easy access to federal forest lands) saw a reduction of federal regulatory power working to their advantage. This message of the economic benefit of deregulation appealed as well to small businesses. After all, if workplace safety regulations could be reduced or eliminated, the money saved could be plowed back into the business.
During this period anti-regulatory forces sought to define and project an agenda that would be publicly acceptable. Throughout the 1980s the anti-regulatory/anti-environmental sentiment was expressed largely as support for the Reagan Revolution and its promise to deliver the country from the clutches of over-zealous, regulation-happy bureaucrats.
In studying the various Sagebrush Rebellions we would all probably benefit from a good class on the history of the American West. Here is one (pdf, syllabus) from Professor Chris Lewis, from the University of Colorado. Lewis places Cawley's book in a class lecture on "'The Lords of Yesterday' and the Sagebrush Rebellion". The book is well-placed there, since it is evidently written from the perspective of 'the rebels', according to a Great Plains Research book review (pdf). There is nothing wrong with that. One of my favorite books is Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, which is unabashedly written from the perspective of those who lost (and/or who were horrible abused) in the struggles to form the United States. Zinn acknowledges his bias, but is quick to note that no "history" is written without bias. But what is wrong with Wilent's piece, in my opinion, is to use the book to suggest that one particular perspective is the only perspective that counts. Still, opinion/editorial pieces often do that. So, I'll just leave it at, "I beg to differ".
Wilent's article goes on to highlight various ongoing problems including the impending falldown in Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act funding—problems which are clearly still with us. These problems don't necessarily cry out for the solutions that are being proffered in the various bills currently working their way through Congress. But you wouldn't arrive at that particular conclusion from Wilent's article, which concludes by essentially cheerleading attempts to put federal land management into "land trusts." "Cheerleading" is how I see it. What Wilent actually said was this: "Management by a trust dedicated to maintaining revenues to schools and other beneficiaries may offer a solution. …"
Wilent didn't bother to daylight any other "solutions." So cheerleading is where I'll leave it. When dealing with 'trusts' my question is, as has been for a long time, "Land trusts provide a solution to what?" Yes land trusts are a good way to generate revenue if that is all you are interested in. But I thought that the 'public trust doctrine', under which the national forests were carved out and managed, is much broader than 'revenue generation'. And we are not living in 1900, when income taxes and other revenue generation means now available to the federal government were not established.
In the middle of Wilent's article, John Freemuth is quoted on both the complexity of federal lands management and his desire to reconvene a Public Lands Law Review Commission. I support Freemuth's desire. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that just about no one who is ranting and raving in this (or the last) Sagebrush Rebellion has ever read the last Public Lands Law Review Commission Report. Why should we expect a new one to add value to this debacle? Still, I would like to see a new one, if only to force the Administration and the Congress to delve deeper into the issues (and the history) surrounding our "Angry West". But I'm not sure that a re-reading of the original Public Lands Law Review Commission Report wouldn't suffice to dispel myths surrounding each seemingly-novel episode when the American West, particularly the "rural West" explodes anew in yet-another "temper-tantrum." I guess we all get to pick our frames, and our scapegoats.

Q: Firebase - linking to libAdIdAccess.a I use Firebase Analytics in my project. I have installed it with CocoaPods. I'd like to have access to all automatically collected user properties like it is described here. It says there:

For iOS apps, the app must collect IDFA in order to automatically derive the Age, Gender, and Interests properties.

In order to do that I should link to the following libraries:

*

*libAdIdAccess.a

*AdSupport.framework

This is described here. I know how to link the AdSupport.framework.
But where should I find libAdIdAccess.a. This has been asked already here. The answer suggests to install the pod GoogleIDFASupport. I already did that but wonder if it's the correct action since it's not mentioned in the Firebase documentation, only in the Google Analytics one. And in Google Analytics it's not enough to install the pod, you should also:

To enable IDFA collection, set the allowIDFACollection property to YES on each tracker that will collect the IDFA. For example:
// Enable IDFA collection.
  tracker.allowIDFACollection = YES;

The question is: Is it enough to use the pod GoogleIDFASupport or should I acquire libAdIdAccess.a another way?
