Many people merely cannot perceive why choosing Artesian water as a substitute of other premium bottled water is necessary. Nevertheless, you'll want to leave it in your counter; individuals see an Artisan KitchenAid mixer and they at all times rave about it. Your loved ones will probably be jealous, and you'll be able to full recipes quickly that before would have been almost impossible.
Attachments that can be used with the Artisan vary in price as nicely, from round $15 to virtually as a lot because the mixer itself costs. The Bazaar will function superbly handcrafted items made by church members and more than twenty native artisans from around the Upstate.
These on-line equipment shops have KitchenAid mixers for a cheaper value then you can find in a retailer. Sheep, venison, chook, pork and fish are staples, and the realm's ranchers' enterprise sectors are loaded with artisan makers offering tasty juice, squeezed apple, cheddar and dessert.
There are elective attachments that can be purchased for the pink KitchenAid mixer. If you are a person who enjoys baking, likes making your individual breads and even pasta and enjoys entertaining giant gatherings during holidays, the stand mixer is the one you want.
Also, the steel bowl is totally clean and so there are not any actual ridges contained in the bowl for anything to stay to. The attachments that come with the Artisan Stand Mixer twist off in a straightforward one-handed movement, but not all of them are dishwasher appropriate.


Food Safety is not just a class you take; it is what you must practice in your operation. Restaurants that understand this important priority look for ways to stay ahead of any situations, not coast along until a problem threatens to close their doors. FoodSafetyGuy is on a mission to bring the principles from the classroom to life in your kitchen. We tap into expert talent – like retired health inspectors, a dietician, a chef, a food scientist, a food service director – to find the right solutions for your specific business needs. Here is how we do it.
Click on the + next the service you'd like to learn more about.
A food safety audit is different than a health inspection. An audit targets the known critical violations from health inspections and blends in standards from your own specific operation. We help develop an audit just for you that drives the behaviors you need and teaches managers and staff at the same time. On-site coaching helps everyone understand why these procedures are important, not just that something is wrong.
We perform inspections of your facility to help prepare you for your upcoming city/county/state inspection. Get out in front of it. Before long all health inspections will be posted online. They are already public information but they will become much easier to access. Make your corrections before they are posted, not after.
A walk through of the property you would like to purchase with a qualified health inspector will help you understand the hidden costs of the purchase. Last year's inspection report does not list out repairs that must be made in a change of license purchase. You should know what will be expected that the seller doesn't want to fix.
We provide great value by actually teaching managers how to do a self-inspection of their own shift to be sure everything us up to code. We can handle all the training you could possibly need around food safety for all staff and management.
We have decades of combined experience working as inspectors and as operators, so we can talk both sides of the table. We can help you understand what the inspector really wants and explain to them what you are trying to accomplish, and can suggest reasonable solutions to seemingly difficult issues.
Receiving a complaint call from a customer who thinks you made them sick can be very unnerving. We help you put a communication process in place, but more importantly, we teach you how to be confident today that anyone who calls tomorrow did not get sick from you.
Companies with employee handbooks often use cut-and-paste documents, but restaurants are a little unique. HR documents don't usually specialize in employee illness reporting, bandage and glove use, hand washing procedures and expectations, etc. We help you articulate clearly what employees must be able to do for you in these areas.
FoodSafetyGuy is taking on several operations per year into our Quality Assurance Department. This means that different food service operations have discovered the value in engaging us for support or solutions in the a la carte items listed above.
To learn more about how our Quality Assurance team can help you reach your food safety goals email info@foodsafetyguy.com.
This 2.5 hour course covers the basic responsibilities of a person supervising a food event at a church.
how to keep your diners and your congregation safe.
This 1.5 hour course is very interactive and fun. It covers the basics of sourcing food, hand washing, illness exclusion practices, and cross-contamination. This will help the supervisor by validating their leadership and making non-negotiables for volunteering very clear. Cost varies depending on travel, number of people, and type of event(s).
Successful completion of this course will allow you to use our HoW-TO materials and receive TouchPoint certificates for your class attendees. You will receive training on the materials, the slide show, and the script. You will then be qualified to offer our courses to volunteer groups so they can meet the state requirement.
Prerequisite: You must have passed a qualifying Food Protection Manager course to be able to teach volunteers.


Can machines & AI help fulfill the emotional needs of patients by becoming everyday companions? Can they one day replace nurses or even doctors?
Is that OK when dementia patients are lied that the robotic pets are real? What roles will the robots play in elderly people care and patient care? Will we accept the robotization in healthcare?
Soon, machines using artificial intelligence will be able to do more than helping patients and elderly get out of bed, bring meals or give medicines. They will be able to have a fluent conversation, give advice's about lifestyle choices, provide entertainment, react to the facial expression and gestures. Robots can be trained (or programmed) to have emotional intelligence. What human-robot intimacy could mean for healthcare?
An example: Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings uses robotic pets to help brighten the mood of elderly residents, while also stimulating cognitive function. Robotic cats and dogs help patients with dementia to reduce stress and improve mood.
"It distressed me a little bit that he was conversing with something that was not real", says Sue Pinnetti, a daughter of a dementia resident of the Plymouth Crossings. "But it gave him pleasure and relaxed him and I figure that it's working, so why not? I like the cat now", she adds.

Why the NCVO and Sir Stephen Bubb's Acevo are uniting to push 'brand charity'
The umbrella bodies have agreed to work together to promote the sector, writes Susannah Birkwood
Sir Stephen Bubb of Acevo
On 14 October, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations and the chief executives body Acevo announced that they had agreed to work together to promote among the public and journalists the positive impact of the voluntary sector.
The umbrella groups will work alongside the Understanding Charities Group, which was set up last year by the NCVO and CharityComms, the sector communications membership body, to secure better treatment for charities in the media.
Sir Stephen Bubb, chief executive of Acevo, recently met Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of the NCVO, to discuss the initiative. Bubb says the two bodies want to launch a campaign using the "best brains in the world of PR and communications" to promote what he calls "brand charity".
He says the campaign is unlikely to involve posters and billboards, however. And, unlike the US-based Charity Defense Council, which earlier this year organised - but then cancelled - a march designed to raise money to defend charities against critics of their spending, there are unlikely to be any demonstrations.
Joe Saxton, founder of the research consultancy nfpSynergy, who has been helping to lead the Understanding Charities Group, says there will come a time when the new initiative hatched by Acevo and the NCVO takes over from the UCG, which he says would be a welcome change.
"I hope there will be a point at which the old initiative is swept up by the new initiative as it gathers momentum, with more senior buy-in," he says. "An awful lot of fundraising directors and communications directors know what the UCG is up to, but the chief executives have been saying they know nothing about it - and if they aren't on board with this, it doesn't have the same credibility."
Saxton says the UCG will continue working to tackle the sector's image problem until it is superseded, although he does not know when this will happen. The initiative needs a full-time director to be able to thrive, he says, and while some existing UCG members are certain to continue leading the new initiative - such as Karl Wilding, director of public policy at the NCVO - Saxton does not envisage being given a key role himself.

A class FlowSession is a handle on a communication sequence between two paired flows, possibly running on separate nodes. It is used to send and receive messages between the flows as well as to query information about the counter-flow.
Calling FlowLogic.initiateFlow. This will create a class FlowSession object on which the first send/receive operation will attempt to kick off a corresponding interface InitiatedBy flow on the counterparty's node.
As constructor parameter to interface InitiatedBy flows. This session is the one corresponding to the initiating flow and may be used for replies.
The class Party on the other side of this session. In the case of a session created by FlowSession.getCounterparty is the same Party as the one passed to that function.
Returns a class FlowInfo object describing the flow FlowSession.getCounterparty is using. With FlowInfo.flowVersion it provides the necessary information needed for the evolution of flows and enabling backwards compatibility.
Suspends until FlowSession.getCounterparty sends us a message of type receiveType.
Queues the given payload for sending to the FlowSession.getCounterparty and continues without suspending.

For Orwell, the truth that the world may very well be headed in the direction of totalitarianism was disastrous. That fate, no matter whether it came from the fitting or left, was something every citizen should fight against. In his novel, Orwell reveals the logical conclusion of a world controlled by totalitarianism, and it is by the literary machine of images that he draws the reader into that world. Once the reader experiences that dreary world, they will need no part of a government that would thrust them into that harsh actuality.
This topic continues to be one of the controversial and widely mentioned even nowadays. Many authors select this matter as the central one of their books.

AdventureAbroad went to Kokoda in late September. The resulting experience was exhausting, emotional, and life-changing.
Kokoda is one of the great Australian pilgrimages. It's an emotional and physical journey in search for a morale-boosting adventure. An experience that gives an insight into the cognitive functioning of an individual. An experience that is a demonstration of respect and gratitude towards the Australian Diggers who put their lives at stake during WWII in 1942.
The Kokoda Track is located in the Owen Stanley Range of Papua New Guinea, where there are roughly 800 languages spoken. It's a 96 km hike that passes through native villages, and is surrounded by jaw dropping views of nearby mountain ranges. It is also home to the Kokoda Campaign, where Australia went to war against Japan in 1942 and lost over 600 soldiers. Today, Kokoda offers the opportunity to pay respect to the great Australian Diggers and the beloved Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, while passing on their stories to our community.
Not often do families have the time or desire to go and privately put themselves through the physical and emotional rollercoaster of the Kokoda Track. A dry track made our time from Kokoda to Owers Corner a lot more bearable than the traditionally hot, muddy and wet conditions it's reputed to have.
Mitch, Will and Fernando– your willingness to accept a challenge was imminent from the outset, but your desire to complete the challenge together was inspirational, and that is what this experience was about for you. Your experience epitomized the four pillars that the Australia Diggers valued: mateship, courage, sacrifice and endurance.
The stories you created during the course of your journey will be shared over many Christmas dinners and anniversaries to come. You learnt something about one another that you didn't think was there to learn. The bond you forged in Kokoda has changed and strengthened your relationship, for the better– a bond that will remain for the rest of your lives.

Remote Learning Plan 2021-2022
Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board
2021-22 Remote Learning Plan
The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board will continue offering families the opportunity for their children to learn remotely through virtual modes in the 2021-2022 school year. Ideally, all students would attend in-person learning during the 2021-2022 school year as experts state this is optimal for students' mental health and well-being. However, we recognize specific situations may warrant remote learning for some families. We understand this is a big decision for families, and want to provide as much information as possible to inform your choice.
Remote learning includes many of the same expectations present in our brick-and-mortar schools. There are specific minutes required for students participating in remote learning that are set by the Ministry of Education. Attendance for remote learning, like our brick-and-mortar schools is taken at natural transition points during the school day.
Elementary: All students who chose elementary remote learning will remain in the remote school for the entire 2021-2022 school year. If you would like your child to attend the Remote Elementary School for the 2021-22 school year, please follow the Elementary Remote School Survey link. The survey will open on Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at 8pm.
Enrolment in the Elementary Remote Learning Catholic School for the 2021-2022 school year must be declared by midnight on Monday, March 29th, 2021.
Students will be assigned a teacher with the remote school separate from their current home school. The French Immersion program will not be offered in Remote Learning. The Core French program will be offered in a limited capacity, due to staffing shortages.
Sample timetable for students in Grades 1- 8 Remote Learning:
9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. Learning Block 1 (90 minutes)
10:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Body break (15 minutes)
10:45 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Learning Block 2 (75 minutes)
12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Lunch (60 minutes) Students
12:40 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. Team time- Teachers
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Learning Block 3 (60 minutes)
2:00 p.m. – 2:20 p.m. Body Break (20 minutes)
2:20 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Independent Work (40 minutes)
Sample timetable for students in Kindergarten Remote Learning:
10:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. Body Break Activities (15 minutes)
12:15 p.m. – 12:55 p.m. Lunch (50 minutes) Students
12:55 p.m. – 1:40 p.m. Independent Work
Secondary: Secondary schools will survey families for requests to learn remotely before the end of the 2021 school year. Schools will need this information to identify course offerings; students/families must decide before June 2021 to attend remotely.
Students would remain with their home school and follow the regular day school schedule. If students choose the remote option, then all courses on the student's timetable will be delivered following the physical school's timetable. Students will not be permitted to attend in-person for any portion of the course. All curriculum and teacher contact will be provided to the student virtually. There will be designated permanent re-entry times scheduled (e.g., end of the semester) during the 2021-2022 school year.
In consultation with Public Health, the Ministry of Education may determine a regular day schedule is not four periods. It may follow a quadmester or octomester model based on the Ministry of Education and Public Health's recommendation.
If you have any further questions, please call the Elementary Remote Learning School at 613-544-4370 and ask to speak to Dan Finn – Principal, or Casey Wells – Vice Principal.

The wackiest-looking birds are the most at risk for extinction
Extinction means fewer feathered weirdos—like vultures with naked heads.
By Philip Kiefer | Published Jul 21, 2022 11:08 AM

Many of the world's rarest birds are also oddballs. There are frigatebirds, with inflatable necks; hornbills, with faces shaped like a pair of bananas; and glossy kingfishers with cartoonishly large heads.
That means that avian eccentricity itself may be in danger. Across the world, so many species have disappeared or are disappearing that ecologists agree we are entering a sixth extinction event, on par with the dinosaur die-off. In an analysis published Thursday by British biologists in the journal Current Biology, the birds at the greatest risk of extinction are also disproportionately diverse. If the extinction crisis continues apace, the world will be left not only with fewer species of birds, but the ones that are left will look—and often act—like one another.
[Related: The UN's devastating extinction report, explained in 5 charts]
"It's quite stark, actually," says Emma Hughes, an ecologist at the University of Sheffield and the paper's lead author. The "horrific" pattern showed up in every type of landscape, from grasslands, to forests and swamps, and in half of the world's ecoregions. "We're seeing not only species loss happening, but we're losing diversity of morphology at a really high rate," she explains.
The project began with a catalog of thousands of bird bodies housed in the collection of the UK's Natural History Museum. For years, Hughes helped create 3D models of bird beaks—a famously adaptable feature of bird anatomy that shaped Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
That library of bird bodies allowed the researchers to develop a global picture of bird diversity. The average bird, morphologically speaking, looks a lot like a crow. The major variation is size—a bald eagle is about 1,000 times the weight of an Anna's hummingbird. But there are also shapes: the sweeping wings of acrobatic swifts, the stilt-like legs of cranes, the scoop bills of brown pelicans, and the chisel bill of pileated woodpeckers.
Birds at risk of extinction, as defined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an international collaboration that maintains a "red list" of endangered species, carry a disproportionate amount of that bodily weirdness. The IUCN lists 111 bird species as critically endangered. Pull them from the global pool, and physical diversity plummets. When the researchers did the same with endangered—though not critically so—birds, diversity also crashed. But when they removed just the not-threatened birds, they saw no impact.
"The biggest thing [about this paper] is the huge scale of data they investigated," says Allison Shultz, who studies bird evolutionary biology at the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, who wasn't involved in the research.
Almost everywhere on Earth was affected, but certain regions and ecosystems lost more diversity. Islands jumped out, although perhaps not as much as expected given that they tend to act as biodiversity hotspots. Hughes suspects that's because many unusual island species, like the North Atlantic's penguin-sized great auks, or Madagascar's elephant birds, are already gone. "I think we've already lost a lot of diversity on islands," she says.
But the research also uncovered overlooked threats to diversity. Hughes' analysis found that the high plateaus around the Himalayan Mountains were at extremely high risk of homogenizing. "It turns out these areas have got quite a number of critically endangered vulture species," Hughes says. And vultures are physical outliers, huge bodies with a long, hooked beak that helps them dig into carcasses.
There's a reason why unique physiques are vulnerable. Animals with especially strange forms have often adapted to some specific part of their environment, like hummingbirds that drink the nectar of a single type of flower. That leaves them more susceptible when the environment changes, whether because of habitat destruction or climate change.
By contrast, less specialized species can thrive in the wake of human disturbance. "Species that are more generalist in nature take opportunities with new food resources, like your crows and your sparrows," Hughes says.
[Related: Australian cockatoos are teaching each other to open trash cans]
Size appeared to be a key driver of risk. "Previous research has shown that birds that are larger tend to be more vulnerable to extinction," says Huges, "They take longer to reproduce, they take longer to reach maturity, and they're more vulnerable to hunting."
If anything, the findings capture only part of the world's threatened diversity. Although the physical measurements appear to have captured trends in how species evolved, they don't pick up some of the most iconic features of different species: "There's color, patterns, songs, how birds interact socially with each other," Shultz says. The study authors "did not see a lot of morphological diversity in the tropics. And that's actually where most of the color diversity lies. So there could be other signals that come across when you look at other aspects of bird biology."
There's nothing wrong with the average crow or sparrow—generalist species are amazing exactly because they've been able to carve out homes among humans. But animals with offbeat traits often play special roles as pollinators, seed dispersers, or scavengers; if they're mission, it could unravel the web of relationships that tie an ecosystem together.
That's playing out right now among the vultures around the Himalayas. Over the last 40 years, vulture populations across the Indian subcontinent have declined about 95 percent, largely because of the proliferation of a veterinary antibiotic that's toxic to birds. "Losing these species can have quite dire consequences for humans," Hughes says. As carcasses go uneaten, rats and feral dogs have taken over as scavengers. "Those mammalian predators spread things we're quite vulnerable to as humans—rabies, bubonic plague—so that's a direct consequence of losing vultures."

The big Chinese crossover Maxus D60 was shown
March 1, 2019	0	By autotimesnews
The presentation of the new mid-size crossover Maxus D60 was completed just a couple of hours ago.
Chinese brand Maxus, which is part of the automotive giant SAIC, presented its new large crossover with three rows of seats. Perhaps one of its main features is the distinctive appearance – the exterior has got a narrow LED front optics, vertically positioned fog lights, a rather large false radiator grille. I also want to note the diffuser, which is located on the rear bumper, in which there are two pipes of the exhaust system.
But as regards the interior of the novelty, there is nothing to say so far – it simply was not shown to us. However, foreign journalists still managed to make some pictures, though through the glass of the car. So, what we have. A glance immediately notices just the huge screen of the infotainment system, and only then the seats with pronounced lateral support and the front panel, which seems to be covered with eco-leather. Maxus D60 with three rows of seats can accommodate up to 7 people.
The Chinese crossover received 1.3 and 1.5 liters turbocharged engines, the power of which is not yet known.
These units will work with 6-step "mechanics" or 7-step "robots". Drive probably will only front.
According to the plans of the management of Maxus, the start of mass production of the new crossover is scheduled for the third quarter of this year. So far there is no data on the prices of the car, but it is known that the model will be sold not only in the automotive market in China, but also in other countries.

Thanks to the wealth of information and alternatives available on the Internet, you have about 5 seconds to engage prospective clients. If you don't succeed, they will continue their search elsewhere.
"Fully versed in all aspects of our field." That's why you went to school, right?
"We work hard for you." I should hope so, and it's worth noting that even Avis dropped this type of line after 50 years of use.
"We promise personal attention and support." Is there any other?
"Timely advice, expert guidance and representation." As opposed to the late, amateur kind?
Clients already are going to assume you have licensed professionals who come into the office every day and do their jobs. They'll consider it a given that you'll work hard, respond to their questions and concerns, and give them your most expert advice. Those are assumed qualities, and if you don't already provide them, your clients won't be your clients for long.
So what truly will set you apart? How do you stand out in those 5 seconds you have to get their attention? You Distinguish and dismiss.
To distinguish yourself, identify what truly sets you apart from similar firms—what you do that they can't or won't do—and put that message at the top of the page and in your headlines. This is where quantitative information is best.
To dismiss, you remind prospects that your differentiators should be a core requirement in their decision-making criteria. Make it easy for them to choose you.
Talk numbers. Think years of experience (though everyone sees that "275 total years" line) or money saved or made for clients.
Remind prospects that you're a leader in your field, not just a competent practitioner. Include niche experience, certifications, real awards, association leadership credentials, or courses taught.
Bring in clients with other clients. Your percent success rate of cases or settlements offers quantifiable data for the numbers-hungry prospect. Testimonials and success stories pull in the more narratively inclined.
Of course, you'll need to make sure that your professional and state rules allow for each type of differentiating message.
Also, remember there can be too much of a good thing. I often see true differentiators buried among a laundry list of bulleted services. By searching and visiting your site, your prospects already have a general idea of what you do. They want to quickly learn how you do it better. While lists of three-to-five bullets make ideas easier to digest, a two-column list of 20 bullets overloads the page and overwhelms the reader. Search engines don't like this either.
Once you engage your prospects, you can continue to educate and share your expertise as they seek more relevant and detailed information. Your differentiating points become part of the decision-making criteria by which everyone will be judged, making it very difficult to compete with you.

U.S. Sends "Message" to Abbas with $80 Million Aid Cut
(Al-Monitor) Julian Pecquet - The Obama administration is cutting aid to the Palestinians by $80 million in an apparent message to PA President Mahmoud Abbas. The State Department notified lawmakers on Sept. 25 of its intention to reduce economic aid for the West Bank and Gaza from $370 million to $290 million in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. The 22% cut from the department's initial request follows mounting criticism from Congress about Palestinian "incitement" in the rash of stabbing attacks that have left at least 10 Israeli civilians dead over the past three weeks. "We need to dial up pressure on Palestinian officials to repudiate this violence," said Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The aid cut is a "good first step," said House foreign aid panel chairwoman Kay Granger (R-Texas). She wrote a letter to Abbas along with ranking member Nita Lowey (D-NY) on Tuesday warning him that U.S. aid would be "severely jeopardized" if Abbas refuses direct negotiations with Israel. Granger has a hold on the aid request, along with House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce (R-Calif.). "Given that about one-third of the Palestinian Authority's budget is financed through foreign aid, international donors have leverage," Royce said on Thursday. "They could follow the lead of the U.S. Congress - and make direct funding of the PA off limits until the incitement stops." David Makovsky, director of the Middle East Peace Process at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, recommended closing the PLO office in Washington, sanctioning PA officials and others with visa bans, earmarking U.S. aid for specific programs untainted by corruption, and pressing Europeans and other Palestinian donors to denounce anti-Israel incitement.

Hajj main factor of unity in World of Islam: Iran official
Tehran,Representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in Hajj Affairs said the annual pilgrimage is a main factor of preserving unity and solidarity among Muslims of the world.
'Today, the World of Islam is in a sensitive and dangerous condition,' Hojjatoleslam Ali Qazi Asgar, Supreme Leader's representative in Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs, said in a ceremony held at Imam Khomeini Airport to see off the first group of Iranian pilgrims.
On Wednesday morning, the first group of the Iranian pilgrims departed for Medina, western Saudi city, for annual Hajj rituals.
At the ceremony, Qazi Asgar said that the political disputes between Iran and Saudi Arabia should not be depicted in Mecca and Medina as the World of Islam is in a sensitive situation these days.
Pilgrims should be vigilant and not be trapped into plots, the official noted.
He further said that about 86,000 Iranian pilgrims will perform major Hajj rituals this year.
About the first Iranian group who left for Saudi Arabia this morning, the official said they were 270 pilgrims.
About 500 Iranian pilgrims were killed during a stampede in 2015 Hajj annual congregation when, according to reports, two large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometers east of Mecca, on their way to performing the 'Stoning of the Devil' ritual at Jamarat.
The annual Hajj is a major religious duty for Muslims and must be performed at least once during a Muslim's lifetime.

This Bird is somewhat less than a common tame Duck; the Eyes yellow: the Bill is black and narrow; the upper Mandible hooked at the end, and both Mandibles serrated. This texture of the Bill shews it to be of the kind of MERGI. Vid. Willoughby p. 335. Tab. 64. The Head is crowned with a very large circular Crest, or Tuft of Feather; the middle of which, on each side, is white, and bordered round with black, which black extends to and covers the Throat and Neck. The Breast and Belly is white; the Quill-feathers of the Wings are brown; just above which are some smaller Feathers, whose exterior Vanes are edged with white, with a little white intermix'd in them, as in some of the other Feathers likewise. The Tail is brown, as is also the hindmost part of the Belly near the Vent, and under the rest of their Wings and Body is dusky black. The Females are all over of a brown colour, having a smaller Tuft of Feathers of the same colour. They frequent fresh waters, more especially Mill-ponds in Virginia and Carolina.

Kadam, UT, Uttley, J, Jones, PW and Iqbal, Z (2013) Chronic disease multimorbidity transitions across healthcare interfaces and associated costs: a clinical-linkage database study. BMJ Open, 3 (7).
OBJECTIVE: To investigate multimorbidity transitions from general practice populations across healthcare interfaces and the associated healthcare costs. DESIGN: Clinical-linkage database study. SETTING: Population (N=60 660) aged 40 years and over registered with 53 general practices in Stoke-on-Trent. PARTICIPANTS: Population with six specified multimorbidity pairs were identified based on hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), coronary heart disease (CHD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: Chronic disease registers were linked to accident and emergency (A&E) and hospital admissions for a 3-year time period (2007-2009), and associated costs measured by Healthcare Resource Groups. Associations between multimorbid groups and direct healthcare costs were compared with their respective single disease groups using linear regression methods, adjusting for age, gender and deprivation. RESULTS: In the study population, there were 9735 patients with hypertension and diabetes (16%), 3574 with diabetes and CHD (6%), 2894 with diabetes and CKD (5%), 1855 with COPD and CHD (3%), 754 with CHF and COPD (1%) and 1425 with CHF and CKD (2%). Transition, defined as at least one episode in each of the 3-year time periods, was as follows: patients with hypertension and DM had the fewest transitions in the 3-year time period (37% A&E episode and 51% hospital admission), but those with CHF and CKD had the most transitions (67% A&E episode and 79% hospital admission). The average 3-year total costs per multimorbid patient for A&E episodes ranged from £69 to £166 and for hospital admissions ranged from between £2289 and £5344. The adjusted costs were significantly higher for all six multimorbid groups compared with their respective single disease groups. CONCLUSIONS: Specific common multimorbid pairs are associated with higher healthcare transitions and differential costs. Identification of multimorbidity type and linkage of information across interfaces provides opportunities for targeted intervention and delivery of integrated care.


Kristen Stewart Responds: Is She Dating Robert Pattinson?
by Hilton Hater at November 7, 2012 11:11 am .
It finally happened this morning.
With Kristen Stewart appearing on The Today Show in promotion of Breaking Dawn Part 2, co-host Savannah Guthrie started by asking the actress about the evolution of Bella and what it's like to play her as a vampire.
And then she cut right to the romantic chase, becoming the first reporter to straight-up ask the star: Are you back together with Robert Pattinson?

Fuse Electrical have been established in Hawthorn since 2004. Owner Iain Sibbald operates with a focus on practical innovation and using affordable solutions in smart ways.
Iain says the company makes significant savings by using free Microsoft Live calendar software to match the functionality of job management applications such as SimPro or iTrade.
In Microsoft Live, all of Fuse's rostering, subcontractor resourcing and workflow is recorded on a master calendar that also 'talks to' individual Live accounts for each subcontractor.
"We've managed all our jobs and subbies through Microsoft Live since 2011 and I wouldn't use anything else now," says Iain.
Under Fuse's methodology, each subcontractor creates their own Live account, which Fuse can access to co-ordinate with their cloud-based master calendar.
Fuse management have access to more than 30 subbies' calendars and add incoming work straight to their own master calendar for job-matching with available resources.
"It's free and incredibly simple – the customer calls and I input the details straight into Live from my phone, where I can see all subbies' calendars," says Iain.
Once the work is done, the subcontractor closes out the job on Live, which gives Fuse a paperless jobflow system that equals SimPro functionality.
Iain says he chose Microsoft Live as it offered greater flexibility – and was a much cheaper option – than monthly subscription-based job management packages.
"We looked at SimPro and iTrade and others, but we found limitations, like the types of smartphones that could interface with the system," he says.
Fuse, he says, relies on a network of subcontractors that might be booked for a couple of days a week or full-time weeks on major projects.
Adding each service provider to other job management systems, Iain says, meant additional subscription payments, even for subbies that might only be doing Fuse jobs a few days of their week.
As Fuse bedded the system down in 2011, Iain says a few initial compliance issues cropped up where subcontractors needed training on booking and closing out jobs.
Fuse's workarounds was to each Friday cut and paste subcontractors' calendars into the master calendar to lock jobs in the system.
Fuse run cloud-based MYOB, which is more cost-effective than a hard drive-based system; Iain says subscription fees are cheaper than software updates and that the cloud offers much easier access for the firm's bookkeepers and off-site staff.
Fuse's Microsoft Live-based workflow system has only one significant drawback from dedicated job management solutions – getting Live to share job data with accounting software such as MYOB or Xero is difficult.
Iain says it's extremely difficult to create an Application Programming Interface (API) that gets Live talking to MYOB and that Fuse still issues 'old school' accounts and invoices, with Live data input by hand as 'job cards'.
He also says that processing invoices by hand rather than issuing automated bills does, however, bring its benefits.
"Billing by hand means I can charge different rates for different customers, whereas if I was on some of the other, more formal systems, I'd be stuck with a fixed billing rate for all customers," he says.


Reason for review Little molecule inhibitors targeting the CCR5 coreceptor represent a fresh class of drugs for dealing with HIV-1 infection. helices of CCR5, a G-protein combined receptor, and thus stabilizing the receptor within a conformation that HIV-1 cannot acknowledge effectively [4C11,12??,13C15,16??]. Normally, HIV-1 binds a coreceptor, CCR5 (R5 infections) or CXCR4 (X4 infections), after initial interacting with Compact disc4. These occasions trigger conformational adjustments in the gp120/gp41 envelope glycoprotein complicated SMOC1 that drive fusion from the trojan and cell membranes . By stopping CCR5 binding, the tiny substances abort fusion and interrupt the HIV-1 replication routine [1?,2?]. . The looks of D/M or X4 variations correlates with accelerated lack of Compact disc4+ T cells and a larger threat of AIDS-defining health problems [18,19]. CCR5 inhibitors are inadequate at reducing viral insert in sufferers with detectable degrees of CXCR4-using infections, so are just recommended for Ki 20227 dealing with pure R5 attacks [1?,2?]. HIV-1 is normally notorious for getting resistant to antiretroviral medications [22,23], and the tiny molecule CCR5 inhibitors are no different in this respect. Unlike the greater traditional invert transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors, the CCR5 inhibitors possess, at least theoretically, the potential to operate a vehicle the introduction of the Ki 20227 even more pathogenic CXCR4-using variations [1?,2?,18]. Therefore, understanding how level of resistance develops and assists define how CCR5 inhibitors ought to be utilized clinically, and affects the advancement and usage of solutions to diagnose the introduction of level of resistance during therapy. Level of resistance to CCR5 inhibitors substitutions (K305R, A316V, and G321E) happened sequentially and had been necessary and enough for complete level of resistance . The same CC1/85 isolate as well as the partly resistant H308P variant had been also cultured with vicriviroc . Both infections became totally resistant, and cross-resistant to many other CCR5 little substances, within 16 and 12 passages, respectively [26,31??]. Although level of resistance was mapped to studies also Ki 20227 show that level of resistance to little molecule CCR5 inhibitors isn't associated with a distinctive, or perhaps a common, hereditary signature. However the V3 area is usually a significant site of level of resistance mutations [16??,25,27,28?], different adjustments arose in various (or also the same) isolates. Also, they are context reliant; the 4 V3 adjustments that conferred Advertisement101-level of resistance on CC1/85 acquired no impact when introduced in to the V3 area of JR-FL (JPM, unpublished outcomes). Furthermore, at least one resistant variant does not have any V3 adjustments that are necessary for level of resistance , and tropism-influencing adjustments in gp41 have been reported . Increasing the intricacy, cross-resistance to little molecule CCR5 inhibitors from various other chemical substance classes may or might not occur [16??,24,26,27,31??,32]. Nevertheless, needlessly to say, the resistant infections retain awareness to protease inhibitors, nucleoside invert transcriptase inhibitors, nonnucleoside invert transcriptase inhibitors, integrase inhibitors, the fusion inhibitor enfuvirtide, and anti-CCR5 MAbs Ki 20227 that action with a dissimilar system to small substances [16??,26,28?,31??]. Level of resistance to CCR5 inhibitors maraviroc-and vicriviroc-resistant infections had broadly very similar properties to genes in the maraviroc- and vicriviroc-resistant infections uncovered that V3 series adjustments arose during therapy, however, not regularly in infections from placebo recipients who also failed therapy [35,43?,41??,42]. Site-directed mutagenesis research of cloned genes from four from the maraviroc-resistant isolates demonstrated that the series changes deemed probably to become relevant, based on their prevalence, had been both required and enough for level of resistance in two situations, enough but not required in a single case, and required but not enough in the 4th . However the resistant infections had sequence adjustments in the V3 loop stem, much like the resistant infections chosen maraviroc or vicriviroc level of resistance by sequence evaluation was not feasible . Although there perform seem to be commonalities between how level of resistance develops and , therefore the humoral disease fighting capability may apply extra constraints on what series changes could be tolerated during get away in the pressure applied with a CCR5 inhibitor [31??]. For instance, a version that boosts its exposure from the V3 area to evade an inhibitor could become delicate to a NAb against V3. In some instances, acquisition of CCR5 inhibitor level of resistance does not may actually bargain viral replicative capability or fitness; when cultured with no selecting substance, the.
Telomere dysfunction promotes genomic instability and carcinogenesis via improper end-to-end chromosomal rearrangements, or telomere fusions. treated with the precise DNA-PKcs inhibitor NU7026. Nevertheless, telomere fusions aren't completely abrogated in DNA-PKcs-inhibited 53BP1-lacking cells, but take place with a regularity approximately 10-flip lower than in charge 53BP1-efficient cells. Treatment with PARP inhibitors or PARP1 depletion abrogates residual fusions, while Ligase IV depletion does not have any measurable effect, recommending that PARP1-reliant choice end-joining operates at low performance at 53BP1-lacking, DNA-PKcs-inhibited telomeres. Finally, we've also examined the necessity for DDR elements ATM, MDC1 or H2AX within this framework. We discover that ATM reduction or inhibition does not have any measurable influence on the regularity of NU7026-induced fusions in wild-type MEFs. Furthermore, evaluation of MEFs missing both ATM and 53BP1 signifies that ATM can be dispensable for telomere fusions AIbZIP via PARP-dependent end-joining. On the Ki 20227 other hand, lack of either MDC1 or H2AX abrogates telomere fusions in response to DNA-PKcs inhibition, recommending that these elements operate upstream of both 53BP1-reliant and -unbiased telomere rejoining. Jointly, these tests define a book requirement of 53BP1 in the fusions of DNA-PKcs-deficient telomeres through the entire cell routine and uncover a Ligase IV-independent, PARP1-reliant pathway that fuses telomeres at decreased performance in the lack of 53BP1. Launch Mammalian chromosome ends are preserved with a nucleoprotein complicated of repeats as well as the shelterin proteins (i.e., TRF1, TRF2, RAP1, TIN2, TPP1 and Container1) . Lack of chromosome end capping because of vital telomere shortening or lack of shelterin function exposes telomeric DNA and activates the DNA Damage Response (DDR) . DDR elements accumulate at telomere dysfunction-induced foci (TIFs) , where they sign mobile apoptosis or senescence, a defensive response that stops the propagation of cells with uncapped telomeres . This defensive response can nevertheless end up being thwarted by recruitment of end-joining elements that aberrantly fix dysfunctional telomeres by fusing these to various other dysfunctional telomeres or even to DSBs somewhere else . Telomere fusions are usually extremely deleterious, accelerating tissues and organismal ageing and marketing Ki 20227 oncogenesis . In the afterwards framework, telomere fusions amplify genomic instability by marketing the forming of complicated chromosomal rearrangements via breakage-fusion-bridge (BFB) cycles . Furthermore, telomere fusions promote aneuploidy via unusual chromosome disjunction of fused chromosomes during mitosis, leading to chromosomal benefits . The pathways that mediate the recognition, signaling and fusion Ki 20227 of dysfunctional telomeres are dictated from the system of telomere dysfunction (i.e., the sort of DNA lesion) as well as the stage from the cell routine , . With this framework, TRF2-depleted telomeres in pre-replicative stages from the cell routine are signaled via the ATM kinase and fused via canonical, ligase IV-dependent non-homologous end-joining (C-NHEJ) , . Likewise, catalytic inhibition of DNA-PKcs, a ubiquitous restoration factor necessary for regular telomere maintenance C, qualified prospects to ligase IV-dependent NHEJ of dysfunctional telomeres in the S/G2 stage from the cell routine , recommending that telomeres missing DNA-PKcs look like a single-ended DSB. On the other hand, dysfunctional telomeres in the framework of POT1 reduction evoke ATR-mediated signaling and so are fused via substitute NHEJ (A-NHEJ) , a ligase IV-independent-pathway that rejoins DNA leads to an error-prone way, occasionally using microhomologies . Even though the the different parts of A-NHEJ pathway at telomeres aren't completely elucidated, the fusion of shelterin-depleted telomeres in the lack of C-NHEJ depends on PARP1 and Ligase III , the same elements suggested to mediate A-NHEJ-mediated rearrangements of chromosomal DSBs somewhere else C. The decision between C-NHEJ and A-NHEJ-mediated fix is regulated partly via 53BP1, a BRCT and Tudor domain-containing proteins that relocalizes to chromatin encircling DSB  also to uncapped telomeres , . Mechanistically, 53BP1 may facilitate C-NHEJ-mediated telomere fusions by marketing the spatial approximation of dysfunctional telomeres in far-apart chromosomes  and by suppressing DNA end resection , . To get this idea, ligase IV-dependent telomere fusions in TRF2-depleted cells may also be reliant on 53BP1 , . On the other hand, ligase IV-independent telomere fusions in telomeres depleted of Pot1 or critically shortened take place effectively in the lack of 53BP1 . Right here, we have used a genetic method of investigate a job for 53BP1 in the genesis of telomere fusions arising in cells missing DNA-PKcs or treated using a DNA-PKcs catalytic inhibitor. While our function clearly demonstrates a job.
The brominated pyrrole-imidazole Ageladine A was employed for live imaging of the jellyfish (jellies) and the flatworm had probably the most acidic areas in the tentacles and close to the mouth (pH 4-6. toxicity Ki 20227 of Ageladine A for cellular and signal transduction processes. Thus it can be used as a dye especially for live imaging and measurements. Mammalian cells seem to keep their cytosolic pH values (pHi) tightly regulated between pH 7.2 and pH 7.4. Under specific stress conditions the extracellular pH (pHe) value can drop to pH 6.7 as it does for example in mammalian tumors where such low pH values can be found [12 13 In mammalian as well as in marine vertebrate and invertebrate species the pHi is generally tightly regulated in order to maintain basic cellular features . Different seafood species like the eelpout (displays pHi ideals between pH 7.4-7.5 . Likewise different gastropods from the genus  as well as the sea polychaete display pHi ideals between pH 7.2 and 7.4 and the ones of sea crabs from the genus range between pH 7.2-7.3 [18 19 In aquatic systems many transparent animals are available and used as focuses on for physiological dyes along the way of live imaging. There Rabbit Polyclonal to Connexin 43. is certainly to my understanding no information obtainable that identifies pH ideals in cells and cells of jellies and flatworms. In today's paper images from the plathelminth  the ocean anemone as well as the jelly  aswell as one picture of a person of the jelly through the family are demonstrated. The purpose of this research is to estimation pH ideals of specialized cells in living pets also to demonstrate the usage of a sponge alkaloid like a dye for live imaging of clear sea pets staining acidic cells and compartments. 2 Materials and Strategies The plathelminth was cultivated at space temp in the lab facilities from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven in cup meals with nutrient-enriched artificial seawater (Guillard's F2 moderate) and was given using the diatom sp. as described  previously. The jelly was supplied through the lab of Dr kindly. Gerhard Jarms (Zoology Ki 20227 Unversity of Hamburg). The ocean anemone was gathered through the German Bight in the isle of Helgoland (Biologische Anstalt Helgoland AWI). The animals were incubated in sea water supplemented with 10-16 μM Ageladine A which is stored in portioned stock solutions in a concentration of 10 mM in methanol at ?80 °C. Incubation time was at least 30 min and at maximum 2 h depending on the animals' sizes. The animals were relaxed and slowed down with MgCl2 to allow for measurements with a Leica Confocal SP2 equipped with a UV laser (Coherent) and a neon/red laser for search and adjustment. Apart from MgCl2 in filtered sea water no other chemicals were used. The auto fluorescence of the studied species was very low and not detectable at the photomultiplier settings used for the measurements. Six and one individual of a were successfully investigated with the confocal microscope. Twelve flatworms were also successfully measured. Three showed fluorescence in the area of the gonads and one individual was living and not moving allowing us to make high resolution images. Several tentacles of one individual of were measured. Ageladine A can be a brominated pyrrole-imidazole alkaloid displaying a pH-dependent fluorescence covering a broad pH range (Shape 1). Excitation can be highest at 370 nm and emission runs from 415 (maximum) to 500 nm and much longer wavelengths . It had been feasible to stain constructions with Ageladine A that could not really become stained with additional dyes. (Cnidocysts of ocean anemones could just become stained using Ageladine A unpubl. observation). Once we utilized only intact pets (apart from isolated tentacles of displaying different fluorescence amounts which may be changed into pH ideals with highly fluorescent areas to become at about pH 6.1; (C) The percentage of assessed Fluorescence Intensity Devices (FIU) divided from the FIU in the baseline level in cells and cells (=7.4) provides percentage which may be plotted against Ki 20227 pH ideals.

Fordham endures disputes over faculty health care, unionizing

My article appears in National Catholic Reporter. Here's the lede:
NEW YORK — Over coffee at Rex, the hip, Upper West Side shop that Fordham University students haunt, Kyle Pritz, 28, pauses to hold his glasses up sideways. It looks as if something has taken a bite out of the piece of the plastic temple that ought to cover the right hinge. The missing part broke off about five weeks prior during a struggle with Fordham security.
Sustaining injuries and broken glasses and getting slapped with disciplinary action by the Jesuit school, which forced him, he said, to take an incomplete rather than graduate on time, wasn't how things were supposed to go. Pritz, who grew up an hour north of Manhattan in Carmel, New York, chose Fordham for its values and participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
As a veteran, Pritz paid neither tuition nor fees at Fordham, which has touted a "veteran-friendly" reputation since the Civil War. Raised Lutheran, he isn't religious but was drawn to Fordham's mission. "I like how the Jesuits' conception of God is God in everything," he said. He was also impressed with Fordham's social justice emphasis and what he understood to be the Jesuit history of "standing with the oppressed against corrupt and unjust power structures."
That same sense of social justice led Pritz, a philosophy and psychology double major, to join about 50 students and faculty on April 27 outside Walsh Library, some 9.5 miles north of Rex on Fordham's Bronx campus. The group voiced support for contingent, or adjunct, faculty, whose unionizing efforts the administration sought to block on religious grounds. The protesters then walked a couple of minutes northeast to Cunniffe House, home to the office of Jesuit Fr. Joseph McShane, Fordham's president.
What happened next is the subject of much dispute between the administration and professors and students, and it is one of several incidents that threaten to further divide a campus upon which 80 percent of tenured and tenure-track faculty on April 19 voted — at a rate of 88 percent — no confidence in McShane.

Can Art Shed Light on the Ethics of Capital Punishment?


This week, your featured article is The Railway, NW6 2LU, a fairly decent pub near West Hampstead station.
We also have three new station pages, as they are now part of the zone system: Cheshunt, Theobald's Grove and Waltham Cross.
Three other new entries are The Maltsters and The Vine, both McMullen's pubs in Cheshunt; and Addis, a decent Ethiopian with good vegetarian selection, near King's Cross.
There are significant updates to Curry Special, a Punjabi restaurant in Newbury Park, and The Eva Hart, a Wetherspoon's in Chadwell Heath.
