1816 year without a summer or one more reason why Ukraine is so important for everybody.
Between April 5–15, 1815, in the area Lesser Sunda Islands, Dutch East Indies mount Tambora erupted, throwing ash up in the air, which with combination of low solar activity caused a volcanic winter, that dropped temperatures by 0.4 to 0.7 °C , but parts of Russian Empire such as Ukraine and Volga region were spared and actually had a temperature increase.
Lack of summer in 1816 created a wide food shortage in the Northern Hemisphere. In some part of Europe there were food riots. US and Canada had lakes frozen in July.
I am not a meteorologist. In my life time I saw several big eruptions happened in Polynesia (one of them forced US to close Clark Air force base in Philippines) I do not know, if there can be another eruption like in 1815 soon, but all I can say, that there is something in the region of South Easter Ukraine and other places (see the map), that with rotation of the Earth keeps enough sunshine to produce crops, and other places cannot do that. This makes those areas strategic for countries to control food supply.
Food – commodity that you cannot live without. Control food supply – control people and countries. Ukraine, specifically Central planes and South East of Ukraine, has one of the most fertile soils on Earth.
By importance to food production, the land there can be compared to California's Central Valley and Mississippi Valley.
Some of the wars in the future will be for food and water.

The Crew 2 Showcases 2018 Renault Megane In New Trailer
Ubisoft has released a new trailer for its upcoming open-world racing game, The Crew 2 – and this one highlights the all-new 2018 Renault Megane R.S.
Renault is a brand-new manufacturer to hit the streets of The Crew 2. With the 2018 Renault Megane R.S. being the third-generation iteration of the iconic hatchback with 280bhp under-the-hood and peak torque of 390Nm, the car doesn't just have the looks to make it easy on the eye – it also packs a punch with its new turbocharged engine and direct fuel injection.
To utilize this power effectively, Renault Sport has also built in its renowned 4Control four-wheel steering, allowing this hatchback to deliver impressive agility in tight turns and excellent cornering stability at higher speeds.
In addition, the Megane's design also takes inspiration from the world of professional motorsports. From its 3D honeycomb-pattern grill mesh, front blade, and rear diffusor added by Renault Sport, to the wider wings and tracks designed for outstanding driving dynamics, the Megane R.S. is a car made for people who just love to drive on the open road.
Over the coming weeks, Ubisoft will reveal additional vehicles featured in The Crew 2's diverse roster and it's doing this in partnership with a variety of manufacturers who will appear in the game as part of its 'Motorsports Vehicle Series.' Stay tuned for additional vehicles to be featured in this series in the future.
The Crew 2 will be available on June 29th, 2018 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and will also take advantage of Xbox One X and PS4 Pro with 4K resolution support already confirmed for Microsoft's console. Those who wish to experience The Crew 2 early can enjoy the Gold Edition three days before its release on June 26th, and can also sign-up for the Closed Beta.

Whomp King, also known as the Giant Whomp, is a character in the Mario franchise. He is the king of all the Whomps. The Whomp King's first appearance was in Super Mario 64 as the boss of the Whomp's Fortress, and presumably is a member of the Koopa Troop. When he appears, he states that he is angry about how people treat rocks, and seems to want retribution.
The Whomp King debuts in Super Mario 64. When he is confronted on top of Whomp's Fortress in Super Mario 64, he makes a short speech, then engages Mario in battle. Like most Whomps, he attacks by falling face-first in an attempt to crush the player. While he is flat on the ground, the player must Ground Pound his back three times to defeat him, causing him to release a Power Star. For some reason, if the player wall kicks into the Whomp King and jumps away from him before the fight, Whomp King talks to the player and initiate the fight as soon as they land. However, the battle ends seconds later, since Mario is not allowed to move very far from a boss he is fighting with.
In the remake, Super Mario 64 DS, the Whomp King has undergone slight changes in his appearance. He now wears a golden crown which distinguishes him easily from the other Whomps, and his arms and feet look more like they are made of rock. Unlike in the original Super Mario 64, he can no longer be defeated via a glitch which allows the player to jump right through his body and then Ground Pound him easily. Otherwise, his role is essentially the same as in Super Mario 64.
The Pattans that aid Whomp King during battle in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the Whomp King reappears as the boss of Throwback Galaxy, which is a remake of Whomp's Fortress. However, how he is encountered is slightly different from how he was in Super Mario 64. At the top of the fortress, a Whomp is found instead of the Whomp King. After it is defeated, the entrance door on the ground (emblazoned with Bowser's emblem on it) opens to reveal a pathway to the Whomp King, who is fought on the underside of the fortress. The sky turns dark and stormy when the Whomp King appears.
His fight is similar to his debut fight in Super Mario 64, and he also quotes, nearly word-for-word, his original speeches from the aforementioned game. In addition to being much larger than before, and having a smaller area that Mario must Ground Pound to damage him, he also has a few new abilities. When he attempts to crush Mario, the attack creates a shockwave when he hits the ground, which paralyzes Mario for a brief moment if he doesn't jump at the correct time. Like with other such obstacles, if the Whomp King manages to crush Mario, he loses a life instantly, regardless of how many wedges of health he has left. He can also stomp his foot to produce several miniature Whomps called Pattans that chase after Mario, and can jump to stun him as well.
If the player loses a life while fighting Whomp King, he starts to give the same speech before the second attempt only to interrupt himself in the middle, saying "-- Arrrgh! I'm tired of this speech!". Whomp King shares his battle music with Digga-Leg. The Prima guide suggests that the Whomp King is genderless (using "it" rather than "him"), even though the fact that he is a king would suggest that he is male.[page number needed] Excluding Bowser and Bowser Jr., Whomp King is the only boss in the game to have dialogue. In this game, his face changes when he is defeated. However, since he is facing the ground during this point, the different face cannot be seen in normal gameplay.
Whomp King appears in Mario Party 3, in the Creepy Cavern. He is lying on the road, and to make him move out of the way, the player needs to give up an item.
Although Whomp King does not physically appear in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Golf: Advance Tour, or Mario Golf: World Tour, his name sometimes appears on the tournament scoreboard.

Typhoon Kalmaegi Strikes NE Vietnam; Watching LPA 96W (Tuesday Night Update)
September 16, 2014	by mikeadcock 0 Comments
We continue to monitor the progress of Typhoon Kalmaegi as it is making landfall in Quảng Ninh province in northeastern Vietnam. As of 8 pm Indochina Time, the center of circulation was estimated by radar and satellite about 50 km southeast of Đầm Hà, Vietnam or about 225 km east of Hà Nội, Vietnam. Kalmaegi continues moving west-northwest at 31 km/h. Sustained winds near the center are estimated at 130 km/h with higher gusts to 185 km/h. Central pressure is estimated at 965 hPa.
Yellow Thunderbolt Warning is in effect for Jiangxi province in China.
Yellow Torrential Rain Warning is in effect for Yunnan province in China.
Orange Typhoon Warning and Torrential Rain Warning are in effect for Guangxi province in China.
While severe winds will be an issue throughout the Northeast region of Vietnam, the concern shifts to heavy rainfall which will affect northern Vietnam, northern Laos, northern Thailand, and Myanmar over the next day or two. Beyond that, the remnant low will be pulled into the larger monsoonal lows over India and the Tibetan plateau, which may increase rainfall in that region. Rainfall totals of 150-300 mm will be likely over the next week along the path of the remnant low with isolated totals as high as 500 mm possible.
As Kalmaegi makes it's final landfall, we're keeping an eye on LPA 96W, which has been slowly moving west across the Caroline Islands. As of 1200 UTC, the center of this low was located between Guam and Palau and is moving slowly westward. Models continue to suggest development with this system. It appears, however, that the threat for the Philippines remains limited. GFS continues to pull the low northward as it's influenced by the Baiu front south of Japan. While a landfall is not anticipated at this time, it still bears watching, especially as this low will likely enhance the Southwest Monsoon. Looking toward the weekend, some baroclinicity appears to strengthen the low and a similar case to Tropical Storm Mitag / Ester may occur. In that case, the low was being influenced by the Baiu front and strengthened. While JTWC declared this an extratropical low due to the baroclinicity, JMA called that particular storm a tropical storm for a short time before saying the storm had fully merged with the frontal boundary. We'll continue to monitor the progress of that low.
Until next time, stay safe.

Gravesham remembrance services 2017
Crowds gathered around a carpet of knitted poppies in Gravesend on Sunday to mark two minute's silence in honour of the country's fallen servicemen and women.
Remembrance Sunday services were held across Gravesham, with the largest turnout coming to Windmill Hill War Memorial for a parade and service.
But it was Gravesend Borough Market that hosted the borough's first event of the weekend.
On Saturday the mayor of Gravesham, Harold Craske, joined the leader of the council, David Turner, along with cadets and the civic chaplain reverend Jacqueline Littlewood, to lead a two minute silence on Armistice Day.
The following day, the same group was joined by hundreds more for a parade to Windmill Hill War Memorial, where there were prayers, hymns and music as part of the remembrance service, before wreaths were laid at the memorial, next to a carpet of poppies knitted by the Gravesham community.
Following Sunday's event, the carpet has been moved to Gravesend Borough Market, and will be on display until Friday November 17.


Priorities change as the holiday season approaches. I have company coming this weekend and I'm trying to decide if I want to change my design wall. Why?
Well, right now it is my nicely flannel backed Christmas vinyl tablecloth on the wall! It was the only one in the house when I decided to put up a design wall. Now I have others and should change it out for the season. I just may not do it this week.
I have been working on my Secret Elf wallhanging. I am almost done the quilting - I'm doing some very basic in the ditch to complete it. Then binding, sleeve, label and mail it. Can I do all that by Tuesday 3 p.m.? We'll see. Otherwise it will be a special trip to the post office!
This week I need to do some major cookie baking for 2 bake sales fast approaching. One for my daughter's skating club this coming Sunday, and one for my husband's school the following Saturday.
Add to the mix 2 projects I'd like to start and complete in the next 2 weeks, company coming, ice show and parade, and whatever else comes my way!!
Enjoy the rush of joy that comes with all the preparations! See what other quilters have been up to by visiting the links hosted by Judy.
Oh my goodness I get tired reading what you have to do this week!


Antibiotics-Why they are part of the problem: Because the antibiotics are not treating the problem! The problem is the fungal infection-The other infections (the ones you keep treating with antibiotics) you keep getting are really just symptoms (or side effects) of the fungal sinus infection you live with all the time.
If you think about it makes perfect sense. Your sinuses stay dark, moist and warm-the perfect environment to grow mold. There is a fungus amongst us and it lives in your head! Here is what's happening: You are carrying a fungal infection all the time and it KEEPS your inner sinus passages irritated. So-you are much more likely to get sick than folks who have healthy "fungus free" sinus passages.
If You want to check out the program that helped me here is the link: www.TheSinusInfectionCure.com I would really like to hear your comments!
Here we go! According to the good folks over at The Mayo Clinic the primary cause of 95+ percent of all sinus infections is fungal. That's right, fungal. You know- like yeast, mold, athletes foot, jock itch ect.
Even when I was A little kid my head hurt all the time-But I didn't really know why until I went swimming at a friends house. All of us kids were trying to collect quarters my friends dad was throwing into the pool for us-kind of a game. But I couldn't play. I couldn't dive to the bottom of the pool without a crushing pain in my forehead.
Here is what I recommend: Find a good natural program to put your body back in a position to take care of itself by beating back the fungal infection that is the true cause of your sickness.Follow that good natural program even when you feel fine-so you don't find yourself here again.
Do you suffer with chronic or reoccurring sinus infections? If you do-I know how you feel. Really. I have had the same problem for as long as I can remember.
I had already started to plan my life around my sinus symptoms! And Mom was regularly taking me to the doctor for drugs (antibiotics) and advice. But back then nobody really knew anything about sinus infections or sinusitis. The sinus (ear nose & throat) doctor told my mom I would "grow out of it" for almost 20 years!
Let's summarize: You (95+ percent chance) have a fungal infection in your sinuses.The antibiotics are actually making it worse.It keeps coming back because antibiotics don't kill fungus-they kill bacteria. Good and bad bacteria. And when you kill good bacteria-anything thats ready can jump in there and set up shop!You need to find a way to put your body back in balance so you can get off the sinus infection merry-go-round!
And to make matters worse, the antibiotic medication you keep taking is killing your bodies natural defense-the good bacteria. And it's the good bacteria that keeps the bad bacteria from taking over.
We know a little more now so lets take a look at: What are the primary causes of your sinus infection misery. Why the plan of treatment (antibiotics) most folks follow will never fix the problem-I will give you a hint... You have to treat the problem. Why your sinus infection and it's symptoms keep coming back when you have probably taken enough antibiotics to kill anthrax!
My friends dad noticed the look on my face and as he handed me a couple of quarters he said. You will never be a scuba diver kid - you have bad sinus problems.

Punk Rock Big Year: Thanks for everything.
Canadian followers will know and maybe some American ones as well that this weekend was the Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend. The last of our good-weather long weekends.
The company I work for, DDB, always gives us four day long weekends during the summer. Unfortunately for me, I had to work Friday on colour transferring a commercial I shot for Subaru a week before. That's OK, I spent the day with Mark (the editor that will work on PRBY), Andrew (the Executive Producer at DDB) and Billy (one of the best transfer dudes in Toronto, maybe Canada). They are all great guys and we usually sit around listening to records while we work.
I spent Saturday hanging out with my kids. Early Saturday morning, like every morning, I could hear a flock of Canada Geese approaching my house. I happened to look out side just as they went over. On the right tip of the flock was a Snow Goose! A new bird for the year! I also went to see a movie with Rach called 50/50. I highly recommend it. Very funny at times and very touching at others. Great little film.
Sunday, Rachel's new shop, Sunday's Child, was closed for the holiday Sunday/Monday. Read it again, that sentence makes sense. We went apple picking and pumpkin buying with the kids. We never got around to planting our own apple trees or pumpkins this year. We also had a great outdoor dinner for Thanksgiving. It was a great time spent with friends and family. We killed a turkey, but I know it had a humane existence on a nearby farm prior to it's demise. Many of our veges came from our own garden.
Monday was not the best but it was a cloud with a silver lining. The kids seemed to have grabbed a sore throat type of cold. Lots of hacking and spitting of phlegm. Both Rachel and I got this one too. Still feeling it today as I head to work. Why am I thankful for that? Well, we folded our couch out into a bed and spent the day renting movies from apple TV and generally just spending time together.
In lieu of working Friday while the rest of DDB was enjoying the spectacular weather we were having, I took Tuesday to go birding and shoot some footage for PRBY. I never got a lot of new birds and missed a couple I was trying for but I got two new birds. A pair of Trumpeter Swans and a pair of Hudsonian Godwits. It was a great day spent wandering around looking at birds with two great people, Richard Pope and Margaret Bain, my birding teachers.
Trumpeter Swan by James Marvin Phelps.
Hudsonian Godwit by Henry McLin.
Hudsonian Godwit Digiscoping I did.
Thanks to all the people reading and following my blog. This year is drawing to a close. What should I do next year?
P.S. Last Thursday I finally got to do a couple hours of tattoos of bird names. We managed to get 13 of them done. I'm realizing that I'll be tattooing well into 2012. It takes longer than I expected. I need a strategy, any ideas?
Perhaps a big green year in your own county!
It forces you to really get to know the local birds and can help show that we don't need to drive hundreds of kilometers to see a big diversity of birds.
Good idea. BUT, if i attempt a big year again anytime soon, it'll be followed shortly by a divorce. maybe 2020?

Wrapping up a discussion of the different types of worm gears and the wide variety of applications in which they are used
William P. Crosher
In the early part of the 1920s the automobile reached high production rates using rear axle drives with worm gear ratios of 4:1 and 5:1 built with a large number of starts. Worm gears with low ratios are very limited in their power transmitting capabilities, center distances, and wheel diameters. Low ratios are not usually used for center distances that exceed 10 inches and are more frequently found with centers less than five inches. There are practical limits to the worm wheel diameter; ratio 1:1 is usually limited to a maximum of nine inches, ratio 3:1, 27 inches.
The ratio has a direct influence on the rating because it affects the number and size of teeth in a fixed diameter gear wheel. Gears on the same center distance but different ratios have different torque ratings. One particular example has a gear set with the lowest torque rating at 40:1 and the highest at 45:1, all the other ratios have torques ranging somewhere in between. Worms are usually manufactured integral with the worm shaft, but on occasions a shell or hollowed out worm is produced. If shell worms are produced, the worm diameter is necessarily larger to accommodate the bores and keyways. An approximation formula of the effective shell worm diameter in inches: 2.4 × worm axial pitch in inches + 1.10.
Number of Teeth: When multiple threads are used, and in order to have an even distribution of the wear, many designers believe the worm wheel should have a hunting tooth. The ratios, therefore, are rarely exact, but are usually within ± 0.50. The suggested minimum numbers of teeth for a single enveloping (ZI) worm wheel (based on center distance and pressure angle), and globoidal wheels (ZK) based on center distance are: when a smaller number of teeth are used the worm thread tips have a tendency to interfere with the wheel teeth; the interference can sometimes be avoided by rounding off the top of the thread, or by increasing the wheel diameter, and; the maximum number of teeth is determined by the required tooth strength that is based on the anticipated loading for the application.
Lead/Pitch/Helix Angle: The lead, measured parallel to the axis, is the distance a single thread would cover in one revolution. In worm gearing we are concerned with the rubbing action between the teeth, and an increase in rubbing speed reduces the coefficient of friction. The lead angle is the principle influence on the worm gear's efficiency. There is a relationship between the pitch and the pitch diameters of the worm and wheel. The pitch in worm gears is the axial pitch, the pitch always being expressed in the axial plane. When the helix angle exceeds 15º normal pitch may be calculated by multiplying the axial pitch by the cosine of the helix angle. This pitch is measured perpendicular to the sides of the thread. The worm has no operative pitch cylinder, and the pitch diameter is the distance of a cylinder from which all other dimensions are determined, it is arbitrarily selected. In single engagement worm gears this dimension is the nominal center distance and the worm wheel's pitch diameter added with the worm's dimension and then halved.
The lead angle is the inclination of the thread at the pitch line from a line that is at 90º to the axis of the shaft. The helix angle is the complement of the lead angle. The maximum lead angle varies in relationship with the pressure angle. The length of the stress area on the worm wheel teeth is influenced by the lead angle. The worm gear's load capacity is directly related to the root bending stress that is introduced by the cantilever action. The maximum stress is developed by the load to the tip of the tooth. Worm gears have a large overlapping ratio; that is one of the reasons for the improved capability of handling heavy and abnormal loads.
Pressure Angles: Slow speed and heavily loaded applications require coarse pitches and larger pressure angles. When accuracy is the predominant requirement fine pitches and low-pressure angles are used. The original worm gear pressure angle was established at 14½º and is still in use for lead angles up to 17º. The pressure angle should never be far below the lead angle. For example, a pressure angle of 25º should never be used with a lead angle higher than 35º.
Center Distance: Backlash can be affected by changes in the center distance of the worm and wheel. The center distance is adjusted at assembly, and with other gear forms this does not create the problems that can occur in worm gearing. It is theoretically incorrect to set worm gears on centers that are different from those for which they were designed and manufactured. In practice, adjustments of the magnitude of 0.001″ to 0.002″ would not produce a noticeable difference. As the center distance is varied, so will the smoothness of the gears motion and the area of the contact pattern.

Matt Jarvis Bio


Adventures aren't what you call perfect . Sometimes you get troubles, but it makes it lead to even sweeter things. As we pulled in to Colorado, we began to hear what I call a "clunking" underneath the Jeep and a loud whine like Khaleesi (our Jeep) was screaming at us.
Luckily, we were pulling into our campsite for the night. We pulled over and we originally thought we had broken an axle. We were able to research a little more and realized it was the new gears we had gotten put in before we left. It was the end of Saturday. The next day was a Sunday and Monday is 4th of July. We knew it would be a few days before we would be able to reach any mechanic (small town life=not open on weekends), so we made the most of it and hunkered down for a few days to make this place home.
We contacted off road clubs and posted on forums. We were able to get recommendations of mechanics in the area that know Jeeps. We even had some offer to come and tow us out! The off road community is close knit.
We were a little bummed to be broken down, but we realized it was the perfect time to break down. We had just made it out of 100+ temperatures and being in the middle of Navajo towns throughout Monument Valley with barely any mechanics! We were in beautiful forest on top of a hill with 80 degree weather and even a rainstorm.
For now, we settle down, explore this forest, and laugh as we watch Kai meet cows and watch Mama cows chase her away from their babies.
Adventures aren't perfect, but you realize that it's you who takes what comes your way and turns them into some of your favorite moments.

What are the main problems of pollution?
What are the five effects of air pollution on human?
Exposure to high levels of air pollution can cause a variety of adverse health outcomes.
It increases the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease and lung cancer.
Both short and long term exposure to air pollutants have been associated with health impacts.
More severe impacts affect people who are already ill..
The groups most affected by air pollution are people of color, elderly residents, children with uncontrolled asthma, and people living in poverty. Vulnerable populations may experience more health effects because these populations already have higher rates of heart and lung conditions.
WHO estimates that around 7 million people die every year from exposure to polluted air. Ambient air pollution alone caused some 4.2 million deaths in 2016, while household air pollution from cooking with polluting fuels and technologies caused an estimated 3.8 million deaths in the same period.
1. Effects of Air Pollution. High levels of air pollution can cause an increased risk of heart attack, wheezing, coughing, and breathing problems, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Air pollution can also cause worsening of existing heart problems, asthma, and other lung complications.
From smog hanging over cities to smoke inside the home, air pollution poses a major threat to health and climate. Ambient air pollution accounts for an estimated 4.2 million deaths per year due to stroke, heart disease, lung cancer, acute and chronic respiratory diseases.
Also, sulfur dioxide is emitted from the vehicles burning petrol and coal cause harmful respiratory diseases like kidney failure, lung cancer and various other heart-related diseases. Smoke emitted from aeroplanes too is one of the major causes of air pollution.
We have listed 10 common air pollution causes along with the effects that have serious implication on your health on a daily basis.The Burning of Fossil Fuels. … Industrial Emission. … Indoor Air Pollution. … Wildfires. … Microbial Decaying Process. … Transportation. … Open Burning of Garbage Waste. … Construction and Demolition.More items…•
pollution due to urbanization and other anthropogenic substances causes soil pollution. Industrial waste: lead, cadmium, mercury, alkalies, organic substances, and chemicals. Agricultural waste: fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, and manures. Discarded materials and radioactive elements and plastic bags.
The Short Answer: Air pollution is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air. These particles and gases can come from car and truck exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes and wildfires.
5 Major Causes of Air PollutionIndustry. Industries are a major contributor to air pollution. … Vehicle Emissions. Source. … Household and Farming Chemicals. … Deforestation. … Smoking.
Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases.
10 Serious Effects of Air Pollution on the EnvironmentGlobal Warming.Climate Change.Acid Rain.Smog effect.Deterioration of fields.Extinction of animal species.Respiratory health problems.Deterioration in building materials.More items…•
Increased level of carbon dioxide will lead to global warming. Further, the water is polluted in the name of industrial development, religious practices and more will cause a shortage of drinking water. Without water, human life is not possible.
Air pollution causes damage to crops, animals, forests, and bodies of water. It also contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer, which protects the Earth from the sun's UV rays. Another negative effect of air pollution is the formation of acid rain, which harms trees, soils, rivers, and wildlife.
Air pollution is considered as the major environmental risk factor in the incidence and progression of some diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, ventricular hypertrophy, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, psychological complications, autism, retinopathy, fetal growth, and low birth weight.

Illumina Obtains CE-IVD Marking for European Version of TSO Comprehensive Assay
Mar 15, 2022 | staff reporter
NEW YORK – Illumina said on Tuesday that it has received CE-IVD marking for its TruSight Oncology Comprehensive (EU) assay this month.
The new in vitro diagnostic kit for comprehensive genomic profiling covers a range of mutations and biomarkers associated with European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines, drug labels, and clinical trials.
Specifically, the next-generation sequencing-based assay, announced in January, detects variants in 517 genes using nucleic acids extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples of solid malignant neoplasms and runs on the Illumina NextSeq 550 Dx.
The test can be used to detect single nucleotide variants, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and gene amplifications from DNA, as well as gene fusions and splice variants from RNA. It also reports a tumor mutational burden score and microsatellite instability status.
"The CE-mark is a prerequisite for reimbursement of diagnostic tests by health authorities, and in some European countries, is required before laboratories can use a new testing method," Illumina said in a statement. "As a validated, CE-marked IVD, and a kitted solution, the introduction of TSO Comprehensive (EU) provides a streamlined process for use in house by any pathology lab, so that testing can be offered closer to patient care."
Illumina added that it has a a growing pipeline of companion diagnostic claims under development, which it plans to add to TSO Comprehensive (EU) over time and following regulatory approval.
The firm is also pursuing regulatory approval for a version of the assay in the US.

Health Systems Buddy Up to Walgreens, CVS
Hospitals seek other ways to compete as retailers' stamp on industry grows.
Marty Stempniak
Sometimes, health care kind of feels like a playground kickball game nowadays. Everyone is lined up against the fence in some way — be it physicians, hospitals or insurers — hoping that someone will pick them to be on their team. Do you really want to be the last one left or, worse yet, not picked at all?
I've been thinking about that question over the last few weeks as I've been working on an upcoming feature story for H&HN looking at retail clinics and the ways in which they're shaping the hospital field. A recent analysis by Accenture predicted that the number of clinics could double in the next three years, up to 2,800, and save some $800 million each year in health care spending.
Clinics were long viewed as a potential threat by doctors and hospitals alike. But with some operating at or near capacity, that mindset is shifting, and organizations are seeing retailers as a potential "release valve" to relieve that strain, Accenture says. Clinical affiliations keep popping up all over the country, with high-profile systems, from UCLA Health System in the West, to Johns Hopkins in the East. Clinical leaders at the three top chains — CVS' MinuteClinic, Walgreens' Take Care (now apparently called Healthcare) Clinic, and Kroger's Little Clinic — all expressed to me that they have some markets where there are more health systems willing to work with them than they're able to.
But that made me curious. What happens to the smaller health systems or community hospitals that can't find a retailer to add access points, spread their reach out of their core market, and relieve any primary care shortage their docs might be facing? Kaveh Safavi, M.D., managing director for Accenture's North America health business, says there's nothing that precludes those smaller organizations from trying to tailor their offerings to match what makes retail clinics appealing to consumers — mainly convenience and price transparency. Hospitals need to take it on themselves to respond to the shifting market, he says.
"The markets are going to demand more convenient care at a lower, more predictable price," Safavi says. "And if you accept the fact that that is a market challenge and you should respond with an alternative, there's no reason to feel threatened by it."
Kenneth Patric, M.D., the CMO of Little Clinic, told me last week that his organization has seen competition in some markets, such as Cincinnati, with multiple systems vying to partner with their clinics. Ultimately, the partner has to be the right fit for Little Clinic, he says, based on their reputation in the business, values and goals for improving health and wellness. What happens to those smaller hospitals and health systems depends on the dynamics of the local market, Patric says. Some may be forced to consolidate with a larger regional health system that does have such access points, while others may try to create their own form of a retail clinic. Those that fail can't be blamed on the Littles and Minutes of the world.
"What will make them succumb is not that they can't find a convenient care organization to partner with, but that they can't find a bigger organization to be a part of that helps filter the efficiencies and inefficiencies," he says.
My question for you: What do you think will happen to the smaller hospitals and health systems that can't or won't partner with a retail clinic operator? Are they hastening their demise? How have you seen such clinics uniquely shape your hospital's market? Email your thoughts to me at mstempniak@healthforum.com, or give me a ring at 312-422-2605.

The Blue star hasn't released as record in 10 years, since 2006's 'Grace', and has revealed the inspiration for his third outing is the fact people don't smile enough and have regular human contact because of smartphones and technology.
He explained: "The album is called 'Smile' because not a lot of people are smiling these days.
"Everybody's too busy using their phones to connect, nobody's really connecting anymore. For me, I just wanted to put a title out there that was self-explanatory and will hit home."
The track features lead single 'Nothing Without You', which the 39-year-old hunk serenaded his now-fiancé, Ayshen Kemal, with during his proposal in February.
Speaking about his return to the music and how he has developed as an artist, he said: "To be honest I didn't realise that much time had passed because I've still been going out there and doing a lot of gigs abroad.
Because I've had so much time out of the game, I've got so much more to say now. I needed to evolve as an artist and I needed to close a chapter, and that's what I've done with this album."
'Nothing Without You' is released on Wednesday (12.07.17) and the full record drops on August 25.

Paracrine role of soluble guanylate cyclase and type III nitric oxide synthase in ovine fetal pulmonary circulation: A double labeling immunohistochemical study
Ching Tzao, Peter A. Nickerson, James A. Russell, Bernice K. Noble, Robin H. Steinhorn
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) or NOS-III in the endothelium catalyzes production of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide diffuses freely into vascular smooth muscle, where it activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) to produce guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) and causes vasorelaxation. The NO/cGMP pathway is an important signaling pathway in the control of perinatal pulmonary circulation. An exact colocalization of NOS-III in the pulmonary endothelium and sGC in the vascular smooth muscle was demonstrated using a double immunolabeling technique. The sGC immunoreactivity was higher in resistant pulmonary vessels and veins than in conduit arteries, whereas NOS-III immunoreactivity was higher in conduit arteries than in veins. These results demonstrated anatomically in situ a paracrine role of NOS-III and sGC in the regulation of fetal pulmonary circulation and suggested a heterogeneous distribution of NOS-III and sGC within fetal ovine pulmonary vasculature. Our results provided an anatomic basis that supported previous functional studies on perinatal control of pulmonary circulation.

The Mikimoto Memorial Ruskin Lecture
Ruskin Review
Ruskin and the Old Masters
This exhibition explored John Ruskin's fascination with the work of the Old Masters, with a focus on Italian Renaissance painters.
As an art critic, John Ruskin is mainly remembered for his lifelong championship of J.M.W. Turner as well as his defence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and support of artists such as Rossetti and Burne-Jones. From an early age, however, he carefully studied the history of art as a whole, and developed a passion for Italian Renaissance painting. This passion was almost as great as his love of architecture. Following his major visit to Italy in 1845, Ruskin's writings soon made him a recognised authority on the subject.
John Ruskin: Detail of Veronese's 'Supper at Emmaus', c. 1854
A natural and restless draughtsman, Ruskin made copious drawings of the paintings and sculptures that most fascinated him, from rapid thumbnail sketches to highly detailed copies. He also collected photographs and other reproductions but believed that drawing directly from the original was much more rewarding. In later years, he tended to concentrate on the individual details of paintings. This gave Ruskin great aesthetic pleasure and provided him with a focus for arguments in his subsequent writings (e.g. Modern Painters) and lectures at Oxford.
John Ruskin: The Conversion of St. Ranieri, after 'Simone Martini', 1845
Like the previous 'Ruskin and the Old Masters' exhibition, held here in 1999, the display featured a variety of work by Ruskin, including his responses to pieces by Tintoretto, Carpaccio and Veronese. The earlier exhibition also featured items from the Museum's Whitehouse Collection including copies that Ruskin commissioned from various professional artists working in Italy, such as Charles Fairfax Murray, Angelo Alessandri and J.W. Bunney.
Angelo Alessandri: copies of Bellini's 'Truth' & 'King David', after Tintoretto's 'Paradise'
"Power of criticism does not consist in knowing the names or the manner of many painters, but in discerning the excellence of a few."

Kimi no Iru Machi – 03
Haruto knows Yuzuki is home, but Rin tells him she's out anyway. He's reminded of the time he got sick working so hard to support Yuzuki, worrying her; it leads to her kissing him. He takes it the wrong way and the have a fight, but reconcile after he picks her up in the rain. Back in the present, Haruto goes to festival at Yuzuki's school with his classmate Nagoshi Mina in hopes of finding Yuzuki, but Mina thinks it's a real date. Yuzuki sees the two of them in the haunted house, and after Haruto searches the school, Yuzuki confronts him in a classroom and tells him flatly that she's already dating someone, and to forget about her.
When the person under the ghost sheet that scares Yuzuki's date into grabbing him tighter turns out to be Eba Yuzuki, Haruto's target, the series seemed to be asking us: is Haruto chasing a ghost? The flashbacks paint a picture of an idyllic romance with rough patches leading to green pastures, and it's all very romantic. But that's all they are; flashbacks, from his point of view. Since Yuzuki left, a lot of time and distance has built up, and the girl he knew, whom he fell in love with, and the girl he's desperately pursuing in the present aren't one and the same, and it's dangerous to let the past Yuzuki inform him so completely. But it's hard to sympathize with guys like Haruto who are after the one girl they can't have, even if it's a relatable scenario.
That's simply because he's not exactly lacking in the potential mates department. The series seems to go out of the way to portray his relationships with Mishima Asuka as sibling-like and unromantic, but there's potential there. As for Nagoshi Mina, she's an really cute single girl who literally falls in his lap, but again the series underplays their compatibility with her irritating score-keeping (accidentally lifting up her dress didn't help matters.) So Haruto is trying to re-stoke an old flame, the damp wood is only making smoke, and he can't see the forest for the trees. Worse still, Yuzuki's rejection isn't as clear-cut as it looks on paper: Haruto could easily dismiss it as more of her trying to act tough when she's a crybaby. Haruto doesn't believe in ghosts; he thinks Yuzuki's the same as she always was.
Rating:7 (Very Good)
Apologies…we went a bit idiom- and metaphor-happy up there! Something about this series brings it out…
Anyone who's watched Chihayafuru,will have noticed that Haruto has the same voice as Arata, as both are voiced by Hosoya Yoshimasa.
Mina is voiced quite appropriately with the in-your-face enthusiasm of Yahagi Sayuri, who also voiced Saya in Bakuman. Mina's a bit of a scaredy-cat though, no?
We have to admit, the timing of Yuzuka's first kiss of Haruto is pretty sweet; stealing it right when Nanami's outside on the phone.
Haruto took it as more teasing from the city girl, and while he was overly harsh in his victimization we can see how he could have jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Kyousuke shows he can be a valuable friend when he offers to help mitigate the damage Haruto's about to do taking an unwitting date to a school festival in hopes of meeting with another girl. Naturally, Haruto doesn't avail himself of that help!
The red balloon with an unknown wish Yuzuki releases at the end…glimmer of hope for Haruto, or red herring?

In a grand launch, Intel Philippines introduced the new Intel Atom and Core M processors that powers next-generation mobile devices.
Packaged as the new 5th Generation Intel Core processors, it mainly features affordable and powerful devices in more mobile form factors, enabling users to enjoy high performance on the go.
"We see the highly mobile trend of technology consumers around the world. The Asia Pacific region shows the most promise in highlighting this trend with the unprecedented demand for mobile devices across the region, driving technology and internet consumption," said Calum Chisholm, Intel Philippines Country Manager.
The new wave of Intel-powered devices boasts of intelligent and innovative features that enable empowering experiences for today's new generation of users. These devices include smartphones, tablets, and hybrid and fanless laptop designs, which allow users to take advantage of high-end yet affordable devices well-suited to their needs.
Intel's 5th Generation Core processors feature up to 22 percent better graphics processing, 50 percent faster video conversion, and up to 1.5 hours more battery life than equivalent 4th Generation Intel Core processors.
Technology consumption in the Philippines is at the cusp of inclusive growth in the Asia Pacific region. Reports by The World Bank and the World Economic Forum have shown that Filipinos are among the most active digital users in the region, with up to 40 million of the 115 million mobile device users connected to the Internet, ranging from Millennials who are starting to dominate the local workforce, to underprivileged communities who are starting to take advantage of affordable technological innovations.
"I'm very excited with the possibilities that the 5th Generation Intel Core processors opens up for the country, particularly how it will revolutionize the way Filipinos consume technology. The introduction of smaller but more powerful and affordable devices carrying the latest Intel Core processors allows us to provide solutions that help empower Filipino users and contribute to the continued development of the Philippine digital landscape," concluded Chisholm.
Devices that are powered by the latest Intel Core processors include products from various international and local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Intel Core M, which is based on the 5th Gen Intel Core processors, enable next-generation devices that come in various form factors such as 2-in-1s and hybrid tablets, All-in-ones (AIOs), fanless ultrabooks, small form factor desktops, and many other variations.
These devices allow individuals to take advantage of the features of the 5th Generation Intel Core processors and promote technology use among high-mobility individuals such as Millennials who require desktop-level performance.
To reinforce the flexibility of the 5th Generation Intel Core processors, Intel provided live demonstrations of the products integrated in a Filipino family's everyday life.
Intel Core M Processors powering 2-in-1 mobile devices!
The evening's highlight was the introduction of two major 5th Gen Intel Core products, the Intel® Next Level of Computing (NUC), and the Intel Compute Stick.
The Intel NUC features the high performance and customizability of a traditional central processing unit (CPU) in a small form factor no larger than your palm. The size and affordability of the NUC ensures that everyone from enthusiasts to academes can take advantage of the features of the 5th Generation Intel Core processors without compromising mobility.
On the other hand, the Intel Compute Stick is Intel's solution to "screenification" by introducing a plug-and-play computing solution in the smallest form factor yet—a mini PC only slightly larger than a USB thumb drive—that plugs straight into a computer screen or an HDTV through the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port. The Intel Compute Stick, powered by a quad-core Intel Atom processor and equipped with a microSD card slot and a full-sized USB port, can be pre-installed with Windows 8.1 or Linux. This ensures a wide variety of usage options, such as a palm-sized Home Theatre system or a portable computer for off-site education programs in hard-to-reach communities in the Philippines.
"The latest offers under the Intel Core line-up allow us to address key areas of interest in the Philippines. The devices we have available here today range from products that provide high-end mobility with high-performance Intel Core M processors, to products designed specifically to bridge the narrowing digital divide, thereby promoting inclusiveness among communities which would benefit from Internet connectivity," added Chisholm.

A Kremlin journalist accidentally gave away the position of a Russian supersized mortar in a report from the Donbas, and Ukraine duly blew it up a day later, dramatic drone footage shows.
Aleksandr Kots was proudly showing off the 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm self-propelled heavy mortar in a propaganda report in Severodonetsk after it was moved from Mariupol.
The weapon is the largest calibre mortar system in service, firing huge 288-pound F864 shells to a range of six miles.

Kots' report in Rubizhne showed several angles of the giant mortar, which can also fire Smel'chak laser-guided rounds, 3B11 nuclear shells, and 308 rocket-assisted cargo shells, in his report showing off the weapon to Russians back home.
But less than 24 hours after his footage was aired, the mortar was blown to pieces by Ukrainian forces, who gleefully shared footage of their scalp.
The 2S4 is seen in a huge fireball as its ammunition detonates in another huge blow to Putin's botched war effort.
It is the first confirmed loss of an 2S4 by Russia during the savage invasion, although the Kremlin reportedly has as many as 400 inactive mortar systems in reserve.

The weapon systems are designed to destroy large buildings and heavy fortifications and was developed during the Cold War.
There are only around 50 left in operational service, 12 per district-level High Power Artillery Brigade, according to Forbes.
The weapons fire only one round a minute and can be both towed and self-propelled.
In Ukraine, they have been used to destroy airport terminals in Donetsk and Luhansk, and have also been used in Syria, Lebanon and Chechnya.

Kots (pictured) has been described as one of Putin's most 'valuable assets' and is regularly deployed as a war correspondent to spread propaganda to the Russian masses
Earlier this month, the 2S4 was seen firing at the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol where surrounded Ukrainian soldiers had been holed up.
The mortar destroyed by Ukraine is believed to have previously destroyed a bridge between Lyschansk and Severodonetsk.
Kots has been described as one of Putin's most 'valuable assets' and is regularly deployed as a war correspondent to spread propaganda to the Russian masses.
In 2014, Putin even gave him an Order of Merit for the Fatherland medal for his 'objectivity in reporting on events in Crimea.
