Opinion: The Nigerian Government Exposes Its Tyranny In A Shameful Way
In the midst of all that's being said about the current administration of the Nigerian nation, "Tyranny" is one-word people are trying not to use. Whenever it is said, the speaker is subjected to criticism by supporters of the current administration.
But in the turn out of recent events, it's becoming obvious that there's no need to hide what is obvious. Or maybe, we no longer understand the meaning of Tyranny. Or maybe, the government is trying to put the nation in good shape by frustrating its citizens.
How else do we describe the recent occurrence at the Ladi Kwali Hall of Sheraton Hotel Abuja?
The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health was recently conducting interviews that will see successful candidates given jobs in Saudi Arabia as doctors. The venue was flooded with Nigerian Doctors who wanted to relocate from Nigeria since the Nigerian atmosphere hasn't been good to Nigerian Doctors.
According to Punch Newspaper: "Operatives of the Department of State Services, on Thursday, dispersed medical doctors, who stormed the Sheraton Hotels, Abuja, to take part in the recruitment interview organized by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health."
Someone asked this question on social media: "Why is the government frustrating people they have refused to help? "
The Doctors are currently on strike, and it's been terrible for some doctors who can't even feed themselves, not to mention their families. While seeking remedies for their misfortunes, and the DSS was there to frustrate them, thereby amplifying the shame of the tyranny Nigerian citizens have been indirectly subjected to.
According to Punch Newspaper, a doctor, who did not want his name in print said these words:
"Some of us, who came here today, came because we don't even have jobs and we don't want to do the wrong things.
Two categories of people were here today: the jobless ones and the ones who are poorly remunerated.
We didn't commit any crime; we just wanted a better system. So, why is the government trying to frustrate us?"
It will no longer be a thing of surprise if the Nigerian Government decides to stop issuing international passport to its citizens. People are already afraid of this, and we hope it never gets to that.

Starting a business presents myriad challenges.
Author and entrepreneur Nicole Rollender details the decisions she made that helped get her first business off the ground.
From hiring business coaches to finding the right accountant, here are the five best things Rollender did when she started her company.
I used to tell anybody who'd listen that I'd never work for myself. I loved the comfort of having a boss and working for a company. For almost 15 years, since I graduated with my master's degree in creative writing, I'd always worked for publishing companies.
All that changed a year ago, when my position of 11 years was eliminated. Everyone told me I'd find a new job right away, since I had so much experience as a magazine editor-in-chief and head of multiple departments. That couldn't have been further from the truth. I applied for hundreds of jobs and didn't receive one job offer.
When I was employed and someone would ask what I'd do if I was no longer at my current job, I would say tongue-in-cheek that I'd launch my own company. But in January, after yet another 9-to-5 job interview, I decided I was ready to take a leap of faith, and I launched my own writing services business.
Here are five smart things I did when I started my company.
1. I hired business coaches.
I had tons of experience as an executive in a company and knew my way around running a department. However, I knew that I didn't know how to run a creative services business.
My coaches first helped me grow the right boss mindset. For example, many freelance writers like myself underestimate the money they can make with their skill sets, so they undercharge. They often work 50 hours a week, barely making ends meet.
Mindset work helps you know exactly what you offer and its value, so you can clearly communicate that on sales calls. Getting really clear on my market value helped me find the right clients and type of work to match my expertise. I work way less than 40 hours a week.
It's always good to work with coaches who are several steps ahead of you. My coaches had run several six-figure writing services businesses, so I got lots of spot-on tips to scale fast.
This was a hard lesson for me, but it's a fact: As a business owner, you can never stop marketing.
At a certain point, I had a lot of writing work, so I said, "I don't have time to take on new clients, so I can stop marketing." Then, the bottom dropped out.
In the same week, two contracts canceled, both for reasons within the client companies that were beyond my control.
One coach wisely said I should always be prospecting, because relationships can take months to convert to paying clients. One of my biggest clients, in fact, took six months to sign on the dotted line.
While you may not have to prospect every day, market your firm at least several hours a week.
3. I partnered with the right accountant.
When I first set up my LLC, I hired a budget-friendly virtual accountant I found online. Unfortunately, that firm recommended and set up the incorrect business structure for my personal situation, which caused me to overpay on taxes on multiple fronts.
I visited several local accountants and found one I felt was the right match for me. That accountant set up my new business structure, helped me get all the paperwork in order for my state, and even refiled my 2017 taxes so that I'd get back some of the money I overpaid.
4. I hired virtual assistants.
When I first started my business, I did it all: marketing, selling, invoicing, and producing all of the creative content. It became overwhelming.
If you're used to working in a company with colleagues or a staff, suddenly wearing 15 hats can be daunting. My business coach suggested hiring virtual assistants, who are business owners offering contract administrative services. For a solopreneur like myself, this was amazing news: I couldn't wait to say goodbye to the days of starting working at 5 a.m. and working on and off till midnight.
Now I have two assistants. One handles my bookkeeping and accounts payable and receivable. My other assistant helps me with all sorts of nuts and bolts activities for my clients. For example, she posts blogs I've written with images on our clients' sites, or she'll schedule their social media posts via Hootsuite.
5. I live by my Google calendar.
As my workload increased, my handwritten to-do lists just didn't cut it. Now, every Friday, I email one of my assistants a list of my work tasks due the next week, along with plenty of white space so I can fit in personal stuff, like scheduling doctors' appointments, going to the gym, or even getting a massage.
I also use the Pomodoro Technique (which one of my coaches suggested). I set a timer for 25 minutes and focus on a single task during that time (no checking email or a client's social media). The longer I've done this, the easier it's become for me to draft a client blog or another writing exercise that used to take much longer.
Now, I get up every day feeling like a real boss, and loving the business I run.

<Sports Marketing Policy and Social Media Marketing of FCB >
In recent years, social media has become ubiquitous and most important for social networking, content sharing and online accessing. Due to its reliability, consistency and instantaneous features, social media opens a wide place for businesses such as online marketing.
Marketing which occurs via social media is known as social media marketing. Social media marketing has made possible for companies to reach targeted consumers easily, effectively and instantly. Besides that, social media marketing also faces several challenges in the field.
Social media marketing is a new trend and rapidly growing way in which businesses are reaching out to targeted customers easily. Social media marketing can be simply defined as the use of social media channels to promote a company and its products. This kind of marketing can be thought of as a subset of online marketing activities that complete traditional Web-based promotion strategies, such as e-mail newsletters and online advertising campaigns (Barefoot & Szabo 2010).
By encouraging users to spread messages to personal contacts, social media marketing has injected a new term of exponential dissemination and trust to mass-communication and mass marketing (Hafele, 2011).
By this new approach of outreach and marketing, new tools are being developed and increased in turn for businesses. Social media marketers are now going better and more effective insight through the introduction of analytic applications by official social network site platforms (Hafele, 2011).
Nowadays, social media is a valuable online platform for events and social media can organize and promote events by encouraging engagement with customers as follows;
– Social media can give the opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders.
– Social media can involve potential attendees in the organization process.
– Social media can promote events by creating event listings and videos on social networks.
– Social media can support live-stream the event to reach national & global spectators.
– Social media can collect photos & other exciting views
– Social media can monitor the buzz and use it to collect feedback.
By using social media, event activators can make events far more discoverable, reach a far greater audience, enhance the attendee experience and improve customer loyalty.
Social Media Marketing of FCB
FC Barcelona have claimed they have become the first sports club anywhere in the world to be able to boast more than 100 million followers on its social networks.
Sporting and social excellence has led to leadership in the 2.0 market, where FCB is the top club on all the world's major networks.
In fact, the club is gaining about 100,000 new followers a day on its different social networks, and is the number one sports club on each of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Tencent Weibo, Line and YouTube, the biggest platforms in the world.
On Facebook, for example, FC Barcelona's page is one of the 25 most popular in the world. Just a few weeks ago, FCB passed the 50 million mark and is considerably ahead of the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea.
On Facebook, Barça has more followers than any club in the top North American leagues, including the NBA, MLB and NFL, and more than any club in Europe's top soccer leagues, including the FA Premiership.
Out of the Catalans 100 million followers Facebook had a dominance with 64.2% of the total, almost three times more than Twitter (22.3%). The club also has popular accounts on Google+ (7.7%), Tencent Weibo (3.2%), Instagram (1.5%) and YouTube (1.2%).
In 2013, there was an increase of 32 million followers on all of the club's social networks. But more than just setting records in terms of numbers, FC Barcelona is also working hard to ensure that its supporters make the most of these platforms by receiving all the very latest news and information.
As well as official social networks, FC Barcelona has a further 17 million users of LINE, the application for I-phones and computers that can be used to connect with 300 million fellow users around the world. FC Barcelona already has official LINE accounts in Catalan, Spanish, English, Portuguese and Japanese. LINE, like social networks, is another wonderful way for being in constant connection with the club and being among the first to receive news updates and be able to access exclusive promotions.
Social Media Policy history for staff and players
For the longest time, policy and guidelines have been an issue to FCB and FCB has been trying to push on this site. But FCB had problem to learn how clubs were educating its employees about the effective social media policy. For Barcelona, their Social Media Policy places an emphasis on responsibility, however, what is clear is that this doesn't naturally mean restrictions.
But their challenge and digital marketing team changed FCB 's social media policy and point of view. Finally they can open innovative and most advanced social media marketing around world.
FC Barcelona's Policy and Guideline to social media marketing;
– FC Barcelona is one of the biggest and most profitable sports organizations in the world. But the club's fan-centric, dedicated and diligent approach is clearly what's making it work
– Sporting and social excellence has led to leadership in the 2.0 market, where FCB is the top club on all the world's major networks.
– Social Media Policy for staff and players: FCB just tries to give all the information, tools and support to all FC Barcelona employees, football players included, in order to be aware of.
– Return on investment and FC Barcelona: FC Barcelona uses Social Media as a service channel. Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are the best way to connect to a lot of people around the world. The return of investment is not only in economic terms
– Investing in long term Social Media: The social team sits naturally within the Marketing and Communications department of the club, but the primary objective for the team is to keep the best relationship with all Barça Fans.
– Looking towards the future –Mobile: "Mobile phones are the future of connectivity. The challenge is to convert Camp Nou in a "mobile friendly" zone."
In conclusion,
There are profitable target audience and sustainable marketing resource in social media network. Nevertheless worldwide sports clubs will have some problem and difficult to find new sponsors and fans outside nations and present market.
They have to exploit and develop potential social media marketing in the prosperous market and customers like Asia, Africa, and America.
But it is very hard to start business promotion and advertising in these area because of some countries have very strict legal condition for foreign companies.
For example in China, main social media like Goggle, Facebook, Twitter, cannot delivery their information to directly to customers and fans. Only China's Weibo can delivery twitter function and Line from Japan can be used for messenger service.
But FCB's digital marketing policy could connect Weibo/Line directly to the FCB website and new local digital app gave new marketing opportunity in these area.
Furthermore these social media network were spread very quickly and efficiently to huge Asia area.
Social media network has globalization effect but at the same time, it needs practical localization strategy for effective social media marketing.
In football & sports industry,
China and USA can be another two main sport business power and marketing place like that their big 2 economy power. Until 10 years, China and USA football league can grow to world 7 football leagues.
As result, Social media network are the core platform of marketing 3.0 and best marketing tool for sports business.
Without qualitative & flexible social media policy to sports industry, it is impossible to produce another sports industry revolution for sports clubs.

A: Download and install all G streamer libraries to play different video formats in VLC using this command sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-*

A: In the extensions of Google Chrome install "YouTube video downloader" or FlashGot for Firefox or look at the answers for this question: How do I download a YouTube video?
You will get options to download in different formats like .webm (recommended because it uses free audio and video codecs), .mp4 or .flv. The downloaded videos can be played in VLC for example.

A: try resetting the preferences in Vlc :
Tools -> Preferences or using the shortcut CTRL + P
It's worth noting that Youtube have both Dash* and non-Dash streams
*(the stream contains only the Audio or Video stream and never both).

Drug abuse problems are common worldwide. This epidemic can be worse, or it may not be. But it all bring the same result – death. Across the US, drug abuse is a common problem, and Pennsylvania isn't an exemption. Let's discuss the current drug problem in Pennsylvania.
Let's get through the basics: Knowing Pennsylvania and its populace.
The state or commonwealth of Pennsylvania is the sixth most populous state in the US with 12.2 million residents. Economically, Pennsylvania's household income is $55,702. This is $73 lower than the average US household income.
Philadelphia, which is the state capital, is the fifth most populated city in the US. It has the most ethnically diverse population. The remainder of the state of Pennsylvania is ethnically homogeneous.
Quick Fact: What do 'ethnically homogenous' mean?
Ethnically homogenous means that people of a particular state or place all come from a similar ancestry.
What triggered the current drug problem in Pennsylvania?
Population, access roads, and unemployment. Pennsylvania being one of the most populated areas in the US is a good nest for illegal drug distribution. Philadelphia is probably the major distribution center and transshipment point for both licit and illicit drugs for Pennsylvania and the Mid-Atlantic region.
Philadelphia plays a large part of this social problem because the city is centrally located in the Mid-Atlantic states and of its vast transportation infrastructures.
Drugs are easily transported via land into and through Pennsylvania by private vehicles, commercial trucks, rental vehicles, and commercial buses. The combined interstate and state highway system of Pennsylvania is an efficient and heavily used transportation network for drug trafficking.
The drugs are then distributed to the locals. How does unemployment contribute to the current drug problem in Pennsylvania? Selling drugs is equivalent to earning an easy buck. With the unemployment rate of 4.7%, people who belonged to the unemployment bracket will always find ways to survive. Even if it means doing illicit activities like drug selling.
With all these factors stated, the overdose death rate in Pennsylvania rose to the hilt. In a study, the Pennsylvania overdose death rate increased 14-fold between 1979 and 2014, with the highest rates among females, white people, and those between the ages of 35 and 44.
The highest rates of drug overdose deaths came from counties in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania, those surrounding Philadelphia, and the northeast near Scranton. Pennsylvania was ninth in the country for drug overdose deaths in 2015. The trend of Pennsylvania overdose death rate kept on increasing each year.
What are the common drugs used by abusers in Pennsylvania?
Marijuana. Ever since the legalization of cannabis in the US, there have been numerous and noticeable cases of abuses in the usage of cannabis all over Pennsylvania. Despite the decrease in reports, marijuana along with alcohol retained the top rankings as the primary drugs of choice among Pennsylvanians.
Cocaine. This drug ranked second among the commonly abused drugs in Pennsylvania. Cocaine might be scarce in some areas in Pennsylvania. Most of the supplies of cocaine are shipped from Arizona, California, and Texas.
Prescription and over-the-counter drugs. There was a trend for doctor shopping across the US. The prescription and over-the-counter medications like painkillers were abused. These type of painkillers contain morphine. This is a chemical that stimulates endorphins, a hormone responsible for happiness and reduces the body's perception of pain.
Heroin. To those who can't afford to maintain a lifestyle of doctor shopping, they turn to the streets. Heroin offers people the instant 'high' for a lower cost. This drug is also one of the perpetrators of the overdose deaths in Pennsylvania.
How is the state of Pennsylvania coping up with this problem?
Pennsylvania lawmakers committed numerous resources and developed many initiatives to help minimize the high overdose death rate in Pennsylvania.
With the increasing rate of drug overdose deaths, the lawmakers planned to establish 45 'Centers of Excellence' in the state. These substance abuse treatment centers will be coordinating with medical organizations such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, addiction clinics, and behavioral health offices.
These Pennsylvania Centers of Excellence will accommodate drug abusers on an individual level, instead of relying on traditional methods that were proven ineffective. The government of Pennsylvania understands that each addiction case requires an undivided and individualized attention, as there are no two substance abuse cases that could be treated simultaneously.
These centers aim to provide effective treatment programs so that patients can maintain sobriety. By requiring to know the affected person on a more personal level, what their triggers are, and the how the role his or her environment and mental health plays in the cycle of the patient's addiction.
Addiction is a battle that needs to be dealt with seriously. It's good to know that you aren't alone in winning the fight. There are many ways to find drug abuse treatment in Pennsylvania. Or you can go to other places outside of the state so you can keep yourself away from triggers of using illegal drugs again.
You can also explore other options like Pennsylvania's state and regional programs. These programs are for patients with no insurance and who are financially tight.
Sometimes, you can find drug treatment centers that have a sliding scale for payments based on your income and other factors. All you need to do is do thorough research or ask people who underwent treatment from drug addiction.
Never hesitate to get help now and live a sober life later. Death isn't a way to escape your problems. You can live your life soberly and be at peace with yourself.

Guitarist Shot After Robbery During SXSW
Jeff Giles Published: March 13, 2017
Austin has a reputation for being a fairly laid back, artist-friendly town, but at this year's SXSW Festival, Löwin guitarist Michael Sanders has had a decidedly different experience.
The Austin Chronicle reports that Sanders, who lives in town, headed out to watch A Giant Dog's SXSW performance on March 10, and was walking home alone when he was accosted by armed robbers who jumped out from some bushes and demanded his money and cellphone. After handing the items over, Sanders kept walking home — unfortunately in the same direction his assailants were running as they headed to their car. "One the men turned around," reads the Chronicle, "and, without hesitation, fired his handgun at Sanders."
Fortunately, the shot — which hit Sanders in the shoulder — wasn't anywhere near as serious as it could have been. Calling the whole ordeal more surreal than frightening, he told the paper, "My first thought to myself was 'Oh my god, he shot me.' My second thought was realizing that it didn't hurt as bad as I would have expected."
Sanders ultimately managed to get to his house, trip the alarm, and call the police from a neighbor's home. He was held overnight in a local hospital, but escaped critical injury — the bullet didn't puncture any arteries, and although he ended up with a fractured humerus, he knows it could have been far worse. "As far as getting shot goes, it was a very clean shooting," said Sanders. "I'm fortunate... because they were trying to kill me."
Löwin posted a photo of Sanders after the robbery, assuring fans that he's "totally on the mend and was blessed with 'best case scenario' conditions as far as being shot goes," but even though it all turned out as well as could be expected, while Sanders recuperates from his injury, it seems likely he'll be forced to sit out during the three shows the group has scheduled over the coming week.
"We'd like to advise all of you that are SXSW-ing to be careful, alert, and walk in groups at the end of the night," concludes Löwin's post. "Love you all. Be safe."

Rituals: The Ritual of Karma
Rituals is a skincare and beauty brand inspired by the wisdom and traditions of ancient Asian cultures. With its "luxurious yet affordable" ethos, Rituals has become one of the most popular beauty brands on the globe. The company's unique selling point is its Collections – groups of products inspired by different skincare and beauty rituals from the Asian continent.
Recently, The Ritual of Karma Collection was re-launched, and to celebrate an exclusive party was planned in Ibiza. For the invites, 30 limited edition packs containing a "message in a bottle" were created. The MW Luxury team manufactured the pack, collaborating with designers Pactivate to create an elegant teal box with some clever hidden features.
The pack has a book-like structure, with a simple integrated hinge that allows the lid to be smoothly folded back. A key feature of the exterior is the teal paper wrapping. The paper – Marrs Green – is manufactured by G.F. Smith and was developed in 2017 after a competition to find the world's favourite colour.
The Rituals team felt that this green-blue shade, which was inspired by a Scottish river, was perfect for the project: rich, inviting and evocative of the natural world. With such beautiful paper to work with, only one further detail was required for the exterior: gold foil wording which describes The Ritual of Karma ethos.
Though the exterior is beautiful, it's upon lifting the lid that the real wonders of this limited edition pack are revealed. We fitted the case with a hidden sound chip that is activated upon opening, and begins to play sea sounds. In addition the fitment that holds the bottled invite was printed with a beautiful seascape. The image used for this fitment was specifically selected by the MW Luxury team after the Rituals team struggled to find the right design.
The finishing touch is the gold foil wording on the inside of the flap, which invites the recipient to open up the bottle and learn the details of the exclusive Ibiza launch party.

Q: Sharing local SSH key with pgadmin4 docker container; permission denied I have troubles finding a way to share my local SSH keys to the pgadmin4 docker container.
Here is how I proceed, by mounting my ~/.ssh folder into the container:
version: '3.8'

services:
  pgadmin4:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4:5.5
    environment:
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_EMAIL=email@domain.org
      - PGADMIN_DEFAULT_PASSWORD=********
      - PGADMIN_LISTEN_PORT=5050
    volumes:
      - pgadmin-data:/var/lib/pgadmin
      - ~/.ssh:/var/lib/pgadmin/storage/postgres_local.host/.ssh
    restart: unless-stopped

volumes:
  pgadmin-data: {}

Then, when setting up a connection, in the "SSH Tunnel" tab, I click the three little dots in front of the "Identify file" option:

But then, when browsing for an SSH key file, that bind folder has a small "lock" icon attached to it, and indeed, I got a "Permission denied" error when I try to open it:

Hence my question: what's the best and most convenient way to safely share some SSH identity files with that container?
Is it a good idea to do so?
Please note that they are obviously chmoded 600 on my local machine.

A: This issue is almost certainly related to permissions and I've managed to get my SSH tunnel to work by running the pgAdmin container as root.
This can be done by adding the user: root property to your service in Docker Compose file, e.g.:
services:
  pgadmin4:
    image: dpage/pgadmin4
    user: root
    # other properties here

Please note, running Docker containers as superuser comes with security risks so use this approach with caution.
This has been tested on an M1 Mac since the native pgAdmin 4 application is not yet available for this architecture.

Q: Multiply defined labels using hyperref I'm using the stackrel command to indicate important steps in the transformation of formulas. E.g. I would write: A\stackrel{(!)}{=}B so that I can later explain in text why exactly A equals B.
I've written a command \refeq{foo} now that will do this for me. So that I can use \eqqref{foo} later in text and it will automatically show the right number for the right equals sing in text (same as using \label{foo} and ref{foo}).
I only have one problem: when I have an equation that I want to label; and within this equation is also an equals sign that I want to reference to, I get the error
Package amsmath Error: Multiple \label's: label 'rom' will be lost.

what should I do to overcome this? I want to be able to ref to an equation and to any equals sign inside this equation.
Here's my working copy:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\def\clap#1{\hbox to 0pt{\hss#1\hss}}
\def\mathllap{\mathpalette\mathllapinternal} \def\mathrlap{\mathpalette\mathrlapinternal} \def\mathclap{\mathpalette\mathclapinternal}
\def\mathllapinternal#1#2{\llap{$\mathsurround=0pt#1{#2}$}}
\def\mathrlapinternal#1#2{\rlap{$\mathsurround=0pt#1{#2}$}}
\def\mathclapinternal#1#2{\clap{$\mathsurround=0pt#1{#2}$}}

\newcounter{qc}
\setcounter{qc}{2}
\usepackage{refcount,makerobust}

\newcommand{\refeq}[1]{%
 \refstepcounter{qc}\label{#1}%
 \stackrel{
  \stackrel{
   {\text{\tiny $\mathclap{\roman{qc}}$}}
  }{\text{$\downarrow$}}
 }{=}%
}

\newcounter{refeqc}
\setcounter{refeqc}{0}

\newcommand{\eqqref}[1]{%
 \setcounterref{refeqc}{#1}%
 $(\roman{refeqc})$
}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}A\refeq{AB}B\label{romeo} \end{equation}
\begin{equation}R=B\refeq{BC} C\end{equation}

\eqqref{AB} in equation \ref{romeo} is the same as \eqqref{BC}

\end{document}

Any help on what to do would be great!
I've tried using protect and mbox, but nothing works!

A:
I've tried using protect and mbox, but nothing works!

Neither will help because they have nothing to do with the references.
The mathmode \label in your document is defined in the following way (most likely by amsmath):
\ifx \df@label \@empty \else \@amsmath@err {Multiple \string \label 's: label
 '\df@label ' will be lost}\@eha \fi \gdef \df@label

i.e., it simply stores the label in \df@label but checks first if it is still empty. Then later, at the end of the equation, it is finally used.
What you need for your extra labels is IMHO the textmode \label. The following code seems to work. Note that I saved away the \label to \textlabel and use a group to keep the change to \@currentlabel local. (Do not use { } or \bgroup \egroup for this because they create a new math atom in mathmode.) Without the group both actually independent labels will interact which each other, i.e. in your example the romeo label will be also have the number 3, not 1.
\let\textlabel\label
\newcommand{\refeq}[1]{%
 \begingroup
 \refstepcounter{qc}\textlabel{#1}%
 \stackrel{
  \stackrel{
   {\text{\tiny $\mathclap{\roman{qc}}$}}
  }{\text{$\downarrow$}}
 }{=}%
 \endgroup
}

Just replace your definition of \refeq with this one. You might also have a look on \hyperlink and \hypertarget (IIRC) to manually add hyperlinks.

Brewery eyes up promising year after profits rise
By: Angela Hankey
A Warrington-headquartered brewery and packaging company has been boosted after making "excellent progress" during its latest financial year, with prospects for 2018 looking "promising".
Thomas Hardy Holdings is behind Thomas Hardy Packaging, Thomas Hardy Burtonwood and Thomas Hardy Kendal.
The Burtonwood Brewery was built in 1990 on an 11-acre site recently expanded to allow for the brewing, fermenting and processing of international lagers. The company's packaging plant in Kendal comprises a high speed line, with mixing and blending facilities for alcoholic ready-to-drink beverages and soft drinks.
For the year to 30 September 2017, Thomas Hardy Holdings reported turnover of £18.1m compared to £14.5m the previous 12 months.
Pre-tax profits were also up from £1.4m to £2.7m.


Sol CBD is a small, family-run organization committed to offering the highest quality CBD products at the best prices. They are one of the many CBD brands currently on the market, but aim for their products to be the best in the marketplace and state that they will never compromise on quality. This is very refreshing to hear in a market that is becoming flooded with inferior products. So, does Sol CBD live up to their word?
In this article we put Sol CBD to the test and provide you with a full product review of Sol CBD products, including their oils, topicals and edibles. Continue reading to see what we had to say about Sol CBD.
Sol CBD was founded by husband and wife duo Larry and Oksana Ostrovsky in 2015. The couple has been working as natural health advocates for over eight years, running a number of health and personal development blogs that are aimed at educating people and raising awareness on the most effective ways to upgrade people's lives.
Larry and Oksana claim to be stewards of CBD and the plant it comes from, and as such promise integrity, transparency, and honesty. On the company website, they go on to state that their mission of helping people and delivering superior products will always trump financial gain. They also vow to provide education so that customers can make informed buying decisions. But perhaps one of the best things about Sol CBD is that they promise to keep their prices as low as possible so that more people can have access to the incredible cannabis plant.
Sol CBD claims that their top priority is the customer and customer service, which is reflected in their desire to provide a smooth and pleasant buying experience. By all accounts, they seem to be genuine in these claims.
In all honesty, we couldn't find much wrong with Sol CBD. But what we do need to mention is that they are not cheap. Although they are committed to offering the best possible price, there are quite a few brands that offer similar products for a significantly lower price.
I love the personal touch that Sol CBD adds to customer service. This is a brand that is genuinely all about the customer. There are plenty of brands that claim to care about you, the customer, but quite clearly do not. But, with Sol CBD it's the real deal. It's always great to see a brand whose founders are fully involved and committed to the business. For some brands, the owners are anonymous, but Oksana and Larry have been the face of the brand from the start.
Tinctures have been used for thousands of years because of their simplicity and effectiveness. The Sol CBD tinctures are available in two different strengths: 300 mg bottles and 3600 mg bottles, which is their extra strength choice.
According to Sol CBD, some of the benefits of their tincture oils include reducing inflammation and anxiety, boosting the immune system, optimizing brain health, improving the quality of sleep, and protecting the body.
The 300 mg Sol CBD tincture oil is available in both a natural flavor and cinnamint flavor. Each bottle will cost you $65, but you can also get two bottles for $124 or three bottles for $174. Each bottle contains approximately 60 servings, with about 5 mg of CBD per serving. There is 16.7 mg of hemp oil per bottle.
The 3600 mg tincture oil is perfect for anyone who needs more CBD per dose. This bottle contains three times more CBD per dose than any of the company's other tinctures. One bottle will cost you $327, but you can buy two bottles for $618 or three bottles for $867. There are approximately 240 servings per bottle, with 15 mg of CBD per serving. The recommended serving size is ¼ of a dropper. There is 50 mg of hemp oil, and other ingredients include MCT oil (extracted from coconut oil).
If you're wondering how to consume the tincture oil, simply place the drops under your tongue and hold for a few seconds before swallowing. With the 300 mg bottle, you will receive a 1 ml dropper, and you will get a 2 ml dropper with the 3600 mg bottle.
Since Sol CBD uses only the purest oil, it should come as no surprise that their tinctures are extremely effective. Some users have even claimed that the oil has helped in reducing pain significantly for conditions such as sciatica. In some cases, users have even reported dumping their pain medication.
CBD capsules are one the most convenient ways to take CBD when on the go. This is also an excellent option for people who don't like the taste of the tinctures. You will get an exact dose of 15 mg per capsule, making dosing easy and efficient. Each 30-capsule bottle contains a total of 450 mg of CBD and will cost $69. Two bottles cost $129 and three bottles $179.
The Sol CBD capsules are manufactured from the highest quality, specially bred, organic hemp that is grown in the US. The company uses the CO2 extraction process to ensure that dangerous chemicals are never used. The end result is a pure CBD oil inside a vegetarian capsule that has optimal purity and contains a full spectrum of cannabinoids.
The suggested serving is stated as one capsule per day, which will provide many cannabinoids and nutrients including 15 mg of CBD per capsule. It's a good idea to get into a daily regime to ensure that you are taking your CBD at approximately the same time every day.
Sol CBD offers one topical product, and that is their CBD herbal balm. This carefully crafted, unique, maximum strength balm contains 13 powerful ingredients that penetrate quickly and deeply into the joints and muscles for desired effects. These ingredients consist of herbal oils and extracts that have been used medicinally for centuries. Each ingredient was carefully selected to compliment the others and work directly on affected areas.
Grapeseed Oil: Packed with Omega 6 and 3, as well as Vitamins C, D, and E, grapeseed oil is great for reducing wrinkles, scars, acne, and stretch marks.
Wintergreen Oil: Has the ability to act as a natural antiseptic, analgesic (pain reducer), astringent, and antiarthritic.
Blue Mallee Eucalyptus Oil: Used for inflammation and may be beneficial for pain relief, or useful to athletes as a passive form of warm-up.
Organic Sunflower Seed Oil: Used topically to improve dry skin and treat skin irritations.
Organic Rosemary Leaf Extract: Known for its skin toning, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial properties.
These are just a few of the 13 powerful ingredients, and by all accounts, it appears as though the Sol CBD balm is effective in treating a number of skin, muscle, or joint conditions.
This graduated pricing structure applies to all their products. So if you're willing to buy in bulk you can get a really good deal.
As always, we advise that you purchase directly from the company's official website. Sol CBD is fully committed to providing top quality customer service and are there to help you with any questions or suggestions that you may have. The site is user-friendly, and it's easy to find the exact product that you are looking for.
You will receive free shipping on all orders over $75. If you order is under $75, you will pay a flat shipping rate of $4.95. American residents can expect to receive their products within one to four working days, but Hawaiian residents may have to wait up to seven days.
We love that Sol CBD has a vision of bringing CBD to those in need at affordable prices. Since they are such a small organization, they offer only a handful of products, but the great thing is that they are fully committed to only offering the best quality products. We would far rather have less variety and higher quality. And who knows, perhaps in the future they will add more products to their already impressive range.
Being a fitness enthusiast I always experience sore and tired muscles. Luckily i found the maximum strength CBD Balm from Sol CBD, which quickly absorbs into the muscles and joints.
I order my CBD in bulk, so Sol CBD Oil is just perfect for me. 1 bottle costs $65 and 3 bottles cost $174.
Whoever thought about putting cinnamon and mint flavor in the same CBD oil is a genius! My favorite flavored oil in the cupboard.
I've been looking for an effective topical for a long time and after using the CBD Herbal Balm, I think I've finally found one I like.
I used to suffer from severe wrist pain after heavy workouts. I tried supplementing Calcium + Vitamin D but it didn't achieve the desired effects. Then i began experimenting with CBD Oil from Sol. The oil works marvelously and I feel less pain in my wrist just after 4 days of usage.

Simon Pierre Michel Pagenaud (Poitiers, Francia; 18 de mayo de 1984) es un piloto francés de automovilismo. Ha competido en monoplazas y sport prototipos. Fue campeón de la clase LMP de la American Le Mans Series en 2010, ganó carreras de resistencia para Peugeot, Highcroft y De Ferran de la talla de Petit Le Mans, los 1000 km de Spa-Francorchamps, las 6 Horas de Silverstone y Long Beach y Laguna Seca, y llegó segundo en las 24 Horas de Le Mans de 2011 y las 12 Horas de Sebring de 2011.

Actualmente compite en la IndyCar Series, donde se ha consagrado campeón en 2016 y ha finalizado subcampeón en 2017 y 2019, tercero en 2013 y quinto en 2012 y 2014. Ha conseguido 15 victorias y 37 podios, destacándose su triunfo en las 500 Millas de Indianápolis de 2019.

Ascenso en monoplazas

Pagenaud comenzó a correr en karting en el año 1994. En 2001 pasó a los monoplazas, y fue subcampeón de la Fórmula Renault Campus Francesa. Al año siguiente pasó a la Fórmula Renault Francesa y a la Eurocopa. En 2004 fue campeón de la Eurocopa Fórmula Renault. Eso le permitió progresar en 2005 a la World Series by Renault. Allí, su equipo Saulnier se mostró poco competitivo, y resultó 16º sin sumar ningún podio.

Por ello, Pagenaud se mudó a América del Norte en 2006 a disputar la Fórmula Atlantic para Walker, equipo con el cual obtuvo el campeonato derrotando a Graham Rahal. Con ese éxito, el equipo le ofreció una butaca para acompañar a Will Power en la temporada 2007 de la Champ Car. Llegó cuarto, quinto o sexto en 8 de 14 fechas, pero no logró ningún podio, con lo cual terminó octavo en la tabla final. No consiguió conservar su plaza para 2008, y tras la cancelación de la Champ Car tampoco consiguió sitio en la IndyCar Series.

Sport prototipos

El francés optó por unirse al equipo De Ferran de la American Le Mans Series 2008, para el cual disputó la mayor parte del calendario en un Acura de la clase LMP2, compartiendo la butaca con el dueño del equipo, Gil de Ferran. Cosecharon tres podios de clase en las ocho carreras; debido a las tres ausencias, resultaron 14º en el campeonato de pilotos y sextos en el de equipos de LMP2. Pagenaud también debutó en las 24 Horas de Le Mans, cuando Oreca lo fichó para pilotar un Courage-Judd de la clase LMP1 que terminó abandonando.

De Ferran pasó a correr en la clase LMP1 de la American Le Mans Series, nuevamente en un Acura, y Pagenaud continuó corriendo junto al brasileño. Ganaron cinco de diez carreras y llegaron segundos en dos, pero malos resultados en las otras pruebas los hicieron terminar como subcampeones de pilotos y equipos detrás de Highcroft y su dupla David Brabham / Scott Sharp. El francés también disputó dos carreras de resistencia en Europa en un Peugeot 908 HDI FAP: los 1000 km de Spa-Francorchamps para Peugeot Sport, carrera que venció, y las 24 Horas de Le Mans para Pescarolo, donde se retiró.

En 2010, Sharp formó su propio equipo de la American Le Mans Series, y Pagenaud lo sustituyó en Highcroft para pilotar un HPD de la clase LMP2. Él y Brabham ganaron tres carreras de diez, pero obtuvieron puntaje de ganadores en cuatro y de podio en las demás, con lo cual consiguieron los títulos de pilotos y equipos de la fusionada clase LMP. Además, volvió a correr en el equipo oficial de Peugeot en Europa: ganó en Spa-Francorchamps, abandonó nuevamente en Le Mans y llegó cuarto en Zhuhai.

Highcroft disputó una única carrera en 2011, las 12 Horas de Sebring, contando a Pagenaud en la tripulación del HPD de la clase LMP1. Llegaron segundos absolutos, a pocos segundos del Oreca semioficial ganador pero delante de los Audi y Peugeot oficiales, equipados con motores Diesel más competitivos. El francés disputó otras cuatro fechas de la Copa Intercontinental Le Mans en el equipo oficial Peugeot, ahora con el Peugeot 908. Llegó octavo en Spa-Francorchamps, segundo en Le Mans, primero en Silverstone y abandonó en Petit Le Mans.

IndyCar

Pagenaud también disputó en 2011 tres carreras de la IndyCar como suplente, dos para Dreyer & Reinbold y una para HVM. Llegó octavo en Barber, 13º en Mid-Ohio y 15º en Sonoma respectivamente; las dos últimas suplencias las hizo con horas de anticipación. Más tarde, fue invitado en el Gran Premio de Surfers Paradise del V8 Supercars como acompañante de Lee Holdsworth en un Holden Commodore; terminó décimo en la primera manga y tercero en la segunda.

El francés consiguió una butaca como titular en el equipo Sam Schmidt Motorsports de la IndyCar para 2012, contando con motores Honda. Sumó un segundo puesto, tres terceros, dos quintos y dos sextos, lo cual le significó terminar quinto en el campeonato y recibir el premio a Novato del Año. Asimismo, volvió a acompañar a Holdsworth en Surfers Paradise, esta vez en un Ford Falcon, finalizando octavo en la segunda manga.

En 2013, Pagenaud permaneció en el equipo Schmidt de la IndyCar. Venció en la segunda manga de Detroit y en Baltimore, y consiguió un segundo puesto, un cuarto, un quinto y cuatro sextos. De este modo, concluyó tercero en el campeonato por detrás de Scott Dixon y Hélio Castroneves. Por otra parte, llegó noveno en las 24 Horas de Daytona con un Riley-BMW del equipo Sahlen, y obtuvo una victoria y un segundo puesto en la clase LMP2 de la ALMS con Level 5.

En su tercer año con Schmidt, el francés venció en el Gran Premio de Indianápolis y Houston 2. Con ocho top 5, se colocó quinto en el clasificador final de la temporada 2014 de la IndyCar.

If you are in crisis (whether as a survivor or as a woman or man who has been impacted by abortion) and need to talk to someone right now, please call the 24 hour, national helpline for abortion recovery, toll-free, at 1-866-482-5433.
Although the helpline isn't specifically for abortion survivors, they know the impact that abortion has on everyone—physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, and can help you with what you're going through right now and connect you with assistance in your community. Someone is there to listen to you at every hour of every day.
You are not alone! Although the statistics are hard to get to when it comes to the exact numbers of abortion survivors, we know through our work that there are hundreds, if not likely thousands upon thousands of abortion survivors. We know it's often very difficult to have experienced what you have, and it's equally difficult to share your story with others or trust them to help you in your healing.
Please know that no matter what you've gone through, others care about you, there is hope and healing from your experiences is possible.
Although there are many pieces to consider when you look at healing resources and supports, there are a couple of major points we want to make.
You have the right to confidentiality. Your confidentiality and privacy should be strictly respected at all times, unless you are threatening harm to yourself or others. No one should share the details of your story–even if no one would recognize that it is about you–without your explicit permission. That goes for us, too, at ASN. We only share stories, even without names,with permission.
There should be no pressure to "tell your story." Yes, there are a handful of survivors that share their story publicly, but most survivors will not. This is a very personal decision to make, whether you share just a small snippet of your story online or share your story and face with the world at large. We understand that there are many factors that you will need to consider about sharing your experience.
It's important to note that if you're interested in sharing your story, a good support person or group will encourage you to carefully discern what is truly best for you, and to take plenty of time in making this decision, not rush you to do it or demand or manipulate you into doing so for their benefit. Again, that includes us here at ASN.
"At first it was about discovering why I always felt out place, rejected…as if I didn't belong….through the process I learned my true identity.
ASN links survivors to one another on an individual basis to assist them in breaking down walls of loneliness that often exist and connecting with someone with whom you can relate and even be mentored by. Please use our contact us page to let us know more about you and if you're interested in a one on one connection with another survivor.
We also have a private online group where survivors can share more about their experiences and experience a sense of community with others who understand what they've gone through. Please use our contact us page to let us know more about you and if you're interested in being added to this group.
Local Pregnancy Center Healing Ministries: these are often provided on a one on one counseling basis. Click on that link to be directed to the listing of pregnancy centers that exist and find one local to you. You can then contact them to inquire about their healing ministry.
ASN makes referrals to ministries, counseling agencies, and clergy on an as needed basis by survivors. If you would like our assistance in finding a counselor or pastor in your area who is well equipped to work with survivors, please let us know through our contact us page or email us.
We keep a listing of counselors and clergy who are passionate about and prepared for working with survivors. If you would like to know about the availability of such a resource in your community, or if you're a provider who would like to be added to this list, please contact us.
We are currently in the process of crafting our own healing curriculum for survivors that we will be adding to this page and sharing with the current healing programs to utilize. Stay tuned for updates!

Fountain Hughes was born a slave in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1848. He gained freedom at age 17 after the Civil War in 1865. Hughes was 101 years of age at the time of this recording; which was done by U.S. Library of Congress in 1949. Listen as he gives us his wisdom, financial advise, and a vivid description of what slavery was like for him.
The transcript of this recording can be found below.
Fountain Hughes: See I wasn't old enough during the war to sell, during the Army. And uh, my father got killed in the Army, you know. So it left us small children just to live on whatever people choose to, uh, give us. I was, I was bound out for a dollar a month. And my mother used to collect the money. Children wasn't, couldn't spend money when I come along. In, in, in fact when I come along, young men, young men couldn't spend no money until they was twenty-one years old. And then you was twenty-one, why then you could spend your money. But if you wasn't twenty-one, you couldn't spend no money. I couldn't take, I couldn't spend ten cents if somebody give it to me. Because they'd say, "Well, he might have stole it." We all come along, you might say, we had to give an account of what you done. You couldn't just do things and walk off and say I didn't do it. You'd have to, uh, give an account of it. Now, uh, after we got freed and they turned us out like cattle, we could, we didn't have nowhere to go. And we didn't have nobody to boss us, and, uh, we didn't know nothing. There wasn't, wasn't no schools. And when they started a little school, why, the people that were slaves, there couldn't many of them go to school, except they had a father and a mother. And my father was dead, and my mother was living, but she had three, four other little children, and she had to put them all to work for to help take care of the others. So we had, uh, we had what you call, worse than dogs has got it now. Dogs has got it now better than we had it when we come along. I know, I remember one night, I was out after I, I was free, and I didn't have nowhere to go. I didn't have nowhere to sleep. I didn't know what to do. My brother and I was together. So we knew a man that had a, a livery stable. And we crept in that yard, and got into one of the hacks of the automobile, and slept in that hack all night long. So next morning, we could get out and go where we belonged. But we was afraid to go at night because we didn't know where to go, and didn't know what time to go. But we had got away from there, and we afraid to go back, so we crept in, slept in that thing all night until the next morning, and we got back where we belong before the people got up. Soon as day commenced, come, break, we got out and commenced to go where we belonged. But we never done that but the one time. After that we always, if there, if there was a way, we'd try to get back before night come. But then that was on a Sunday too, that we done that. Now, uh, when we were slaves, we couldn't do that, see. And after we got free we didn't know nothing to do. And my mother, she, then she hunted places, and bound us out for a dollar a month, and we stay there maybe a couple of years. And, she'd come over and collect the money every month. And a dollar was worth more then than ten dollars is now. And I, and the men used to work for ten dollars a month, hundred and twenty dollars a year. Used to hire that a way. And, uh, now you can't get a man for, fifty dollars a month. You paying a man now fifty dollars a month, he don't want to work for it.
Fountain Hughes: Yeah. But they don't sing it like the old people used to sing it in them day. They sing it quite different now. [pause] And, and another one they sing, "By and By When the Morning Come." Well they sing that different too. But the old, they're getting the old people's song. I hear them come over the radio. I know them all just as good as they, but they sing them different.
Fountain Hughes: [overlaps with Hermond Norwood] Yes. Well they cut them off shorter and all like that. It's a, if I had my voice, I would sing just one for you so you go in that [unclear] but I can't do it on account of my voice. But someday you come over here, you come in, you call me up and let me know and how my voice is. Ever since I took that medicine from my doctor, well it hurt my voice. I, I, I, now there was a preacher in my house the other night, he live right next door to me, and he played on the piano. And he played something and I sung it for him. And now he wants me to go down to his church next Sunday. I told him, I says, "Now if I go down to your church, I'll not sing nothing. Because if I do I'll get ho, hoarse I can't talk." But he said, "Brother Hughes, I don't care whether you sing or not. I just want you to go down there and let the people see who you are. Let them see what a, what a old people is." I said, "Well uh, Reverend, why I'll, I'll be glad to go down with you." So, on next Sunday I'm going down to his church if I living, and nothing happen. But if he, if he sing something old, I, I, [laughs].
Fountain Hughes: And, uh, somebody don't like it. They says, "I don't like H." I says, "Why?" "Oh," he says, "he make too much noise." I say, "Well, well, the, the Bible say make a noise over Jesus? Jesus said make a noise over me, so he makes a noise over him." And I does enjoy certain of his show. Oh, he's oh everybody, he's got a big crowd and we just get so happy I got to do that too. [noise in background] Boy, when you feel the grace of God you've got to jump up. I lay in bed, I got to get up. Have, you have to carry on. And then next morning I can't talk. [break on the tape for a new reel] Doctor gave me that medicine, it just tore me all to pieces.
Hermond Norwood: Uh huh, I see. I sure hope it comes back again because I'd love, I'd like to hear you sing.

Rubbish Removal In the Deepest Depths of the Sea
The perceptions that we humans have about our own rubbish removal problems are not always accurate. Let's take plastic pollution in our oceans as an example. To do so, let's perform an experiment about human perception using you, our reader, as the guinea pig. Are you game? If so, try the following:
1. Close your eyes and imagine in your mind a picture of the ocean.
2. Now, add to this mental image of plastic waste removal and other rubbish removal.
3. Describe to a family member or friend as vividly as you can what you see in your mental image. Be sure to be very detailed in your description. Alternately, if that makes you feel silly, you can write out a description and email it to yourself for later reference.
Before you continue reading, please complete the experiment.
Okay, now that you've described what you saw in your own mind, let us give three guesses as to what you saw:
1. You saw a sandy beach with rubbish removal strewn along the high tide lines.
2. From a vantage point of a boat, beach, or hill, you saw plastic and other rubbish removal floating on the surface of the sea.
3. You saw an image of a sea turtle or marine mammal eating a plastic bag or some other large piece of rubbish removal.
Are we right? Did we guess correctly? We're betting we did! To add to this experiment, try asking your friends and family to do the same thing. What mental images do they see? How do they compare to your own? Put this out on your social media channels to take it to a wider audience.
As humans contemplating our rubbish removal problems, we tend to imagine what we are most familiar with and forget about what is hidden from our sight. For most of us, when we are asked to imagine a picture of the ocean with rubbish, we immediately think of a beach with tide lines filled with waste removal or rubbish floating on top of the water. This is because most of us have actually seen this in person, and for those of us who have not, we've at least seen this in movies or pictures. Those of us who may be more eco-conscious may have seen the litter campaigns by environmental groups showing marine animals eating plastic.
With your mental image of an ocean with rubbish removal in mind, what if we were to tell you that there's more rubbish removal in the deep sea than on our shores? What if we were to tell you that there's more rubbish removal in the Mariana Trench, the deepest spot on the ocean floor, with a maximum depth of 10,994 metres (36,070 feet, about 6.83 miles), than on our beaches and in shallow water where we swim, fish, boat, surf, and otherwise recreate?
Do you believe us?
Do you find this shocking?
Well, it's 100 percent accurate and true! And… there's very good scientific evidence to back it up. So, memorize these astounding facts and share them with your friends. The more that people know about the hidden dangers of rubbish removal in our oceans, the more motivated people will be to do something about it.
Professor Alan Jamieson, a scientist at the Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Aberdeen, led a group of researchers on a expedition of the Mariana Trench, the deepest area of the deep sea. However, these scientists did not actually go into the deep sea themselves. Instead, they used a robotic submarine with landing capabilities to collect amphipods from the deep sea trench. Amphipods are tiny shrimp like creatures that eat detritus off the ocean floor.
The robotic submarine would sit on the deep ocean floor for eight to twelve hours at a time before the scientists would bring the submarine to the surface and retrieve their samples of amphipods. Using three funnel shaped traps attached to the submarine, baited with mackerel to create an "odour plume," they attracted the deep sea amphipods to the traps. Mesh surrounded this mackerel to prevent the amphipods from actually eating the bait so as not to throw off the results for contaminant concentration.
The scientists tested the tissues of the amphipods for levels of two types of persistent organic pollutants (POPs): polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). The results for these contaminants in the deep sea amphipods were off the charts high! To make the relevance of the results very clear, the level of contaminants found in these deep sea amphipods were FIFTY TIMES HIGHER than what had been found previously in detritus feeding crabs in the most polluted rivers in China! In other words, this was evidence that the Mariana Trench is the most PCB polluted area of the entire ocean!
Between the 1930s and the 1970s, it is estimated that 1.3 million tonnes of PCBs were produced and released into the environment before they were banned. About sixty-five percent of these PCBs are now found in landfills, slowly escaping into our ground water and other bodies of water. Some are still hidden inside electrical equipment that has not yet been put in rubbish removal. More than thirty percent are found in marine sediments!
Professor Jamieson's team expected to find at least traces of these nasty pollutants in the deep recesses of the Mariana Trench. However, even as scientists, top experts in this field, they were utterly shocked to find the levels of these toxins so extraordinarily high in the deepest reaches of the deep sea! In an interview with The Guardian, Professor Jamieson described the level of contamination they found in the animals they sampled as "sky high!"
The only other place on Earth that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in as high levels is Suruga Bay off the coastline of Japan. This bay was previously considered by many experts as the most polluted site in the world. If you're a science fiction buff, you may recall that in the 1971 movie, "Godzilla vs. Hedorah," Hedorah was a monster feeding off the deeply contaminated sludge resting at the bottom of Suruga Bay. It was insinuated, in fact, that it was the pollutants that turned Hedorah into a monster. "Hedoro" is the Japanese word for mud. Now, given Professor Jamieson's results, the Mariana Trench has been found to be just as polluted.
With this research, and other recent research producing similar results, we can no longer have the security of imagining the deep sea as a pristine place. We cannot even think of the deep sea as a remote place that is less adulterated with our rubbish removal than our beaches and sea surface. It appears, in fact, that the deep sea is operating as a "sink" for human generated rubbish removal. Further, it appears that the most toxic portions of this rubbish removal are becoming more concentrated in the sediments and bioaccumulating as detritus feeders eat these sediments and then these toxins get magnified up the food chain.
We now know that no place on Earth is safe from human generated rubbish removal. This is why Clearabee, the largest and most respected rubbish removal service in the UK, is on a mission to divert as much rubbish removal from our landfills as possible. Clearabee also encourages litter picks and cleanups of fly tipped areas. As a leader in sustainable business practices, Clearabee not only talks a good talk, they walk the walk! We need more businesses like Clearabee.

Oil jumps on U.S. plans to tighten Iran sanctions; dollar eases
Shinichi Saoshiro
Published: Apr 22 at 12:49 p.m.
Updated: Apr 22 at 7:22 p.m.
By Herbert Lash
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Crude oil jumped almost 3% on Monday after the United States said it will take more steps to choke off Iranian oil exports, while U.S. equities were mixed as Wall Street braced for corporate results in a busy earnings week.
The dollar eased against a basket of currencies in thin holiday-impacted trading as gold held above a near four-month low on support from the weaker greenback.
The United States said it will eliminate all waivers that allowed eight countries to buy Iranian oil without facing U.S. sanctions, demanding that the purchases of Iranian oil stop by May 1. The announcement sent oil prices to 2019 highs.Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose as much as 3.5% a barrel and settled at $74.04 a barrel, up $2.07. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose $1.70 to settle at $65.70 after rising as much as 3% during the session.
Another drop in Iranian exports would further squeeze supply in a market already tightened through U.S. sanctions against Iran and fellow OPEC member Venezuela, along with voluntary cuts led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"This does bring a lot more uncertainty in terms of global supplies," said Olivier Jakob, analyst at Petromatrix. "It is a bullish surprise for the market."
Major financial markets in Europe were closed for Easter Monday, as were markets in Australia and Hong Kong.
Stocks on Wall Street hovered near break-even as the benchmark S&P 500 index was about 1% away from the record high hit in September, boosted in part by largely positive earnings in a market that had sharply lowered its expectations.
About one-third of S&P 500 companies, including Boeing Co, Amazon.com Inc and Facebook Inc, will report their quarterly earnings this week.
The results will determine whether investors should be concerned about the start of an earnings recession or whether back-to-back quarters of negative growth can be avoided.
S&P 500 profits are expected to drop 1.7% year-over-year, according to Refinitiv data, in what could be the first earnings contraction since 2016.
"The market knows and understands earnings are going to be markedly lower this quarter," said Robert Almeida, global investment strategist at MFS Investment Management in Boston. "It's the beginning of the next turn in the cycle which is softer earnings."
The S&P energy index jumped 2.05%, easily the most among the major S&P sectors, as oil prices surged on the U.S. crackdown on Iranian oil exports. [O/R]
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 48.49 points, or 0.18%, to 26,511.05. The S&P 500 gained 2.94 points, or 0.10%, to 2,907.97 and the Nasdaq Composite added 17.21 points, or 0.22%, to 8,015.27.
Overnight in Asia shares slipped, pulled lower by underperforming Chinese stocks that retreated from a 13-month high. Comments from top policy-making bodies raised investor fears that Beijing will slow the pace of policy easing after some signs of stabilization.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan lost 0.3%, edging away from a nine-month peak last week after Chinese economic data beat expectations and eased concerns about the health of the world economy.
The Shanghai Composite Index closed down 1.7 percent and Japan's Nikkei edged up 0.08%.
The greenback has found support in recent weeks on the back of a gradual rise in U.S. 10-year Treasury yields and signs of strength in the world's top economy, including better-than-expected retail sales in March.
The dollar index fell 0.19%, with the euro up 0.11% to $1.1258. The Japanese yen was flat versus the greenback at 111.95 per dollar.
The Treasury yield curve steepened at the start of a busy week in which $237 billion of new U.S. government debt will be auctioned off.
The spread between the two- and 10-year note yields, the most common measure of the yield curve, steepens when longer-dated yields rise faster than shorter-dated yields, suggesting bullish investor sentiment.
Benchmark 10-year notes last fell 8/32 in price to push its yield up to 2.5867%.
U.S. gold futures settled 0.1% higher at $1,277.60 an ounce.

Cognitive psychologist and speech scientist Alexandra Jesse of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her undergraduate linguistics student Michael Bartoli conducted a series of experiments in which adult listeners were found to be able to recognize previously unfamiliar speakers just from the motion they produce while talking, ScienceDaily reports.
According to Jesse, academics studying face perception have argued that individuals recognize other people's faces based on static features, such as shape, size, and skin colour. Speech perception scientists counter that dynamic features are important.
"The missing link, and the reason for this study, was to show that listeners can use visual dynamic features to learn to recognize who is talking," Jesse says.
One of the experiments used displays of faces made up of points of light, and showed that people recognize the motion "signatures" of others to identify individuals. The study has been published online by the journal Cognition, which is expected to publish it in its July print edition.
Jesse says the findings could have significant practical implications for facial recognition software and other kinds of recognition technology. Systems requiring people to speak a short phrase could be more reliable and harder to spoof if they can leverage both static and dynamic data.
Researchers at the University of Bradford recently developed a system for gender recognition based on the dynamics of smiles, rather than static features.
