Powder and solvent for suspension for intradermal injections
Vaccinum tuberculosis (BCG) cryodesiccatum
Vaccine against tuberculosis (BCG), lyophilised
2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
One dose (0.1 ml) contains 50 micrograms of semi-dry mass of BCG bacilli which corresponds to amount from 150 000 to 600 000 of live BCG bacilli (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), the Brazilian Moreau substrain.
One ampoule or vial with the powder contains:
0.5 mg (from 1.5 mln to 6 mln) of live BCG bacilli (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), the Brazilian Moreau substrain.
10-dose vaccine
For excipients, see section 6.1.
3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Powder and solvent for suspension for intradermal injections.
Before reconstitution powder in the ampoule or vial is dry amorphous white or light-cream coloured.
4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
BCG 10 Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccine is used for protective vaccinations against tuberculosis.
Catch-up (supplementary) vaccinations in subjects unvaccinated after birth should be performed as early as possible, no later than at 15 years of age.
In case of BCG immunisation booster vaccine doses are not recommended.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Posology
Solve BCG 10 Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccine in 1 ml of isotonic saline. After reconstitution a homogenous, uniform suspension without possible presence of flocs or precipitates is formed.
Aspirate to the syringe only 1 vaccine dose of 0.1 ml for one child.
Method of administration
Vaccination should be performed by personnel specially trained in the technique of intradermal injecting.
The vaccine should be injected intradermally into the outer 1/3 upper part of the left arm.
The injection must be made with a special tuberculin syringe with a well-fitted needle.
Before vaccination, disinfect the skin in the site of administration with alcohol and allow it to dry.
Grasp the skin with a thumb and a forefinger of one hand, and insert the needle obliquely to a depth of approximately 2 mm below the outer layer of the skin, almost collaterally to its surface.
After administration of 0.1 ml of BCG Vaccine and upon the correct injection technique, an intradermal wheal approx. 7 mm diameter should be formed.
In accordance with the World Health Organisation recommendations, the BCG Vaccine should be injected in the region of the deltoid muscle of the left upper limb (in the middle part).
Injection of the vaccine into higher region of the arm may lead to keloid formation.
After 2–4 weeks, at the vaccination site in 90-95% of vaccinated individuals an infiltration forms, which remains for several weeks. Predominantly, at the top of the infiltration a pustule and subsequently an ulceration usually 2–5 mm in diameter, not exceeding 10 mm are formed. The lesion is self-healing during 2–3 months from the vaccination leaving a whitish scar several millimetres in diameter. In some persons, out of the pustule serous fluid may ooze for a longer period of time, which is not a complication and does not require treatment but keeping this area clean.
Instructions on reconstitution of the medicinal product before administration, see section 6.6.
4.3 Contraindications
1. BCG vaccination should not be administered to:
• persons with known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine;
• neonates of body weight below 2000 g;
• neonates born to HIV-positive mothers until HIV infection in child can be excluded;
• neonates with suspected innate immunodeficiency disorders;
• neonates born to mothers treated in the third trimester of pregnancy with such drugs as monoclonal antibodies against TNF-alpha;
• HIV-positive persons (confirmed or suspected infections, even if they are asymptomatic);
• persons with primary or secondary immunodeficiency syndromes (including interferon-gamma deficiency and DiGeorge syndrome);
• persons during radiotherapy;
• persons treated with corticosteroids, in the course of immunosuppressive therapy (including those treated with monoclonal antibodies against TNF-alpha such as, for example: infliximab);
• persons with cancer (e.g.: leukaemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphoma or other cancers of the reticuloendothelial system);
• patients after bone marrow stem cell transplantation and organ transplantation;
• persons with severe illnesses (including severe malnutrition);
• pregnant women;
• persons who have suffered from tuberculosis or persons with large (over 5 mm) reaction to RT23.
2. Vaccination should be postponed in the case of:
• clinically unstable neonates until improvement of general state of health (neonates should be vaccinated before leaving the neonatal unit);
• during infection with fever;
• exacerbation of a chronic disease;
• generalised skin infections.
Prematurity as such does not constitute a contraindication to vaccination, vaccination is recommended to be performed in this group of patients after weight gain up to 2000 g.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
BCG 10 Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccine should only be administered intradermally.
The potential risk of apnoea and the need for respiratory monitoring for 48–72 h should be considered when administering the vaccine to very premature infants (born ≤ 28 weeks of gestation) and it particularly concerns children with previous history of respiratory immaturity. Due to considerable benefits arising from vaccination of that group of infants, vaccination should not be withheld or delayed.
BCG vaccination should be postponed in the case of newborns whose mothers have been exposed to anti-TNF therapy during pregnancy or other potentially immunosuppressive IgG1 antibodies. A doctor will determine a vaccination date.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Intradermal BCG vaccination may be performed concurrently with inactivated or attenuated vaccines.
Vaccines containing live microorganisms will not be given at the same time as BCG Vaccine, an interval of not less than four weeks should be allowed to lapse between vaccinations.
BCG vaccination should be postponed for four weeks if other live vaccine has been injected.
The time interval between vaccine containing live microorganisms and vaccine not containing live microorganisms is optional, maintaining the required interval in order to avoid possible superimposition of site postvaccinal effects to consecutive vaccination.
Other vaccines given at the same time should not be injected in the left arm restricted for the BCG vaccine.
A child should not be vaccinated in the left arm at least for 3 months after administration of BCG due to the risk of regional lymph nodes inflammation.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
The vaccine should not be used administered to pregnant women.
Breastfeeding is not a contraindication to BCG vaccination.
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
BCG 10 Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccine has no nor has negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
4.8 Undesirable effects
Like all medicines, BCG 10 Anti-Tuberculosis Vaccine may cause adverse reactions. Lesion at the injection site: infiltration, pustule, ulcerations sometimes with serous fluid drainage usually resolve spontaneously within 3 months from vaccination and does not need treatment.
Enlargement of regional lymph nodes, most commonly axillary up to 15 mm in the vaccinated person is considered as an expected normal post-vaccinal reaction.
Severe local reactions such as
• large ulceration (of more than 1 cm in diameter),
• abscess or keloid,
are most commonly connected with a mistake in the vaccine administration technique, incorrect dosage or individual reaction (e.g. positive result of RT23 test).
If following BCG vaccination local reaction occurs within 24-48 hours and abscess (within 5-7 days), one can suspect previous tuberculosis infection.
Injection of the vaccine too high, in the upper region of the deltoid muscle increases risk of keloid occurrence.
In case of serious local reactions or regional lymph nodes inflammation, medical consultation is required, then an individual decision is made how to proceed, but most commonly no treatment is performed because reactions resolve spontaneously.
Serious systemic reactions following BCG vaccine administration are very rare (approx. 2/1,000,000), and in general affect people with impaired immunity.
Disseminated BCG infection requires expert advice, bacteriological and immune system diagnostics and antimycobacterial treatment in a hospital setting only.
In the case of post vaccination changes occurrence, which according to paediatrician meet criteria of post vaccination complications, a child should be referred to a consultant who will make the final diagnosis and recommend further action.
Apnoea in very immature preterm infants (born ≤ 28 week of pregnancy – see section 4.4).

What Parents Should Know About Having a Premature Baby
Having a premature baby can present a whole new set of challenges for parents. Here, a metro Detroit NICU doctor answers some basic concerns in honor of World Preemie Day.
By Christina Clark
One of the most terrifying things when you're pregnant is finding out that your baby is coming early – and it's no secret why. Premature baby births are the leading cause of death in kids under age 5, the March of Dimes notes. And a premature baby is more likely to face long-term health complications than their fully gestated counterparts.
Having a premature baby also raises a whole new set of questions and concerns that parents wouldn't have otherwise.
In honor of World Preemie Day, which falls on Nov. 17 each year, Metro Parent spoke with Dr. Girija Natarajan, the co-chief of clinical operations and education at Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, to find out what parents should know about premature births and raising a premature baby.
Stages and causes of prematurity
Though there is no known reason for premature births, the American Pregnancy Association notes that there are several factors that can increase the risk.
For example, women who are pregnant with multiple babies are at a higher risk. Women that have repeated bladder, kidney, urinary tract or vaginal infections are also at a greater risk, as are women who are over- or underweight before pregnancy and those who smoke, drink, have high levels of stress and those that seek out little or no prenatal care.
Signs of premature labor include uterine contractions, cramps, backache and changes in vaginal discharge, among others, the American Pregnancy Association lists.
Premature babies, Natarajan says, are separated into three categories of prematurity: late pre-term, born at 34 to 36 weeks; moderate pre-term, born 30 to 32 weeks; and extremely pre-term, born at 28 weeks or under.
Each one of these stages can cause health problems, which will vary from baby to baby, but get more serious as you get further away from the baby's due date.
"The late pre-term babies are short by a month or so, but we still have found problems … transitioning to breathing by themselves. Some babies have more spit-up (and) they are at a higher risk of having jaundice," she explains. "Extremely preterm babies, depending on how late they're born, there is a chance of dying."
Extremely pre-term babies could also develop chronic lung disease and other health complications that could last into their teen years. They can have a slower growth rate, hearing or vision problems and cerebral palsy, as well.
"Some of them may even risk mortality after they leave the NICU," Natarajan adds.
Care after NICU
"Depending how premature, the main concern of the parent is the survival, Natarajan says. "The NICU is a scary place. (The baby is) on a ventilator, they are on monitors (and parents) are afraid to touch and interact (with the baby)."
As the baby gets closer to being discharged, parents begin to worry about the baby's breathing and eating habits, when they should bring the baby back to the hospital, if they should put the baby in therapy, long-term issues the baby might have and the extra care that they need to provide, she explains.
"The most critical period is soon after birth and the first couple years after discharge with the catch-up," Natarajan says.
In this time period, parents should be watching for developmental delays and should report anything they notice to their pediatrician so that they can do a developmental screening, keep an eye on the child's early milestones and recommend a course of treatment.
Treatment plans will also vary from baby to baby, and some may be sent home with oxygen or a feeding tube that must be tended to. Early identification of any issues that arise is key.
Natarajan also recommends that a premature baby, as well as all infants, be kept away from second-hand smoke and be kept up-to-date on immunizations, under the instruction of the child's pediatrician.
Preemie questions, answered
With such high stakes immediately after birth, parents of preemies have some serious questions about how to care for their baby. Here are answers to some common ones.
Can I still deliver my baby how I planned?
When a baby is born prematurely, the focus is on the child's survival. Therefore, the baby will be delivered in the manner that is most safe for him or her.
How long will my baby be in the hospital?
As a rule of thumb, Natarajan says most premature babies will stay in the hospital up to, or near to, their original due date. If the baby is born two months early, you can expect around a two-month hospital stay.
Can I breastfeed my baby?
"Breast milk is something that is still considered the best for pre-term babies," Natarajan says.
You may not be able to breastfeed right away, but she recommends pumping and storing your milk supply for when the baby is ready.
The amount you should be feeding your premature baby should be discussed with your NICU staff.
Can I touch my baby?
Depending on the child's treatment, you may not be able to touch your baby after birth. However, you should try to talk to your baby in the NICU, if the doctors allow, and do skin-to-skin contact once the baby is stable.
Do I have to do something different in regular day-to-day care?
Day-to-day care really depends on how premature the baby was and what technology the child was sent home with, Natarajan explains. Parents of babies sent home on a ventilator or with additional needs will also be sent home with a care plan to follow.
Parents of preemies should also be more vigilant about illness but other than that, "they still essentially are being cared for just like other babies," she says. "They are going to grow bigger and get better."
When can I take my baby outside?
"The concerns about going out in public are the their risk of catching respiratory infections and exposure to loud noises and bright lights," Natarajan explains. "It depends on the baby, (but) don't go into places that are too crowded or carry too many germs."
Instead, she recommends a quiet walk in your subdivision when the weather is nice. Family gatherings are OK after three months, but anyone that wants to handle a premature baby should always wash his or her hands first.
How fast should my baby grow?
"For the first two years of life, we account for prematurity in growth and development," Natarajan explains. "No matter how old they are you have to consider the age from their due date and compare them with babies that are their age."
However, medical professionals do expect kids to developmentally catch up – first in head size and then in height and weight – by the time the child is 2.
She adds that parents should do some of their own research about premature babies, keep themselves updated on the child's individual care plan and ask questions when they need to.

Q: How to separate controller name with dash in Zend Framework? I'm just new to Zend and currently I'm trying to add a dash(-) to my controller name. It
look something like this module/first-controller/action. Please notice that is
controller name not action name. Can someone give me a solution to this problem? Thank you
very much in advance!

A: The class name FirstControllerController becomes first-controller in the URL.
Okay, that's a bad example. If you want to have user-address in the URL and you create the controller with the zf command line tool you call it like that zf create controller UserAddress the actual class name of the controller is UserAddressController (and the file name is therefore UserAddressController.php).
So every bump in the CamelCase name will be separated by a hyphen in the URL. The same is true for action names (getAddressAction() -> get-address).

In the finale to the 1970–71 FA Cup season, the 1971 FA Cup final was contested by Arsenal and Liverpool at Wembley on 8 May 1971.

Arsenal won 2–1 after extra time, with all three goals coming in the added half-hour. Steve Heighway opened the scoring for Liverpool with a low drive past Wilson on his near post. However, Arsenal equalised with a scrambled goal from George Graham which is often credited to substitute Eddie Kelly although tv footage exists which shows Graham got the final touch.

Charlie George then scored a winner late in extra time, when his long range effort went past Ray Clemence.

The game was the second half of Arsenal's first League and FA Cup double, the first double achieved by any club since Tottenham Hotspur's double in 1961. The first half had been achieved through Arsenal's league victory over Tottenham at White Hart Lane on the Monday of the same week. The trophy was presented by the President of The Football Association, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent.

Due to the clash of Liverpool's red strip with Arsenal's red and white colours, Arsenal wore their away strip of yellow shirt and blue shorts.

Final
The game was played on a hot sunny day, and cramp and stamina were both to be of concern by the end of the match. Arsenal captain Frank McLintock won the toss, and he chose to play towards the southern end for the first half, meaning that Arsenal would have the low late afternoon sun at their backs in the second period.

Early play was dominated by Liverpool, who mounted several attacks on the Arsenal goal but found difficulty breaking through Arsenal's defence. As the half progressed play became for the most part evenly balanced, with Arsenal mounting more counterattacks on the break and Liverpool's best chances coming largely from free kicks deep in Arsenal's half of the field. The best opportunities to break the deadlock came late in the half, with Ray Clemence forced to make a reflex save of a header from George Armstrong in the 41st minute, followed in the 44th minute by a similarly fine diving save by Bob Wilson from Alec Lindsay, the result of a free kick. Earlier in the half, Ray Kennedy had caused several problems for the Liverpool defence, and a long range effort from Charlie George also narrowly failed to find the net.

Neither side had total dominance during the second period; Arsenal started strongly, with Liverpool coming more into the game as play progressed. Arsenal finished more strongly with a spell of concerted pressure in the latter stages of the half as the game opened up. The first few minutes of the second half consisted of the teams sizing each other up, with no clear chance coming until an opportunity for Arsenal in the 51st minute when Kennedy failed to get his foot to an effort from close range. Play was largely uneventful from then until the 56th minute, when Charlie George again shot wide from long distance. Liverpool's style of play largely consisted of slow, patient attacks, with their first major foray of the half coming in the 58th minute, ending when John Toshack failed to link up with Alun Evans. Eddie Kelly replaced a limping Peter Storey in the 64th minute. Three minutes later, Evans was replaced for tactical reasons for Liverpool by Peter Thompson. He was to have a part in a strong attack by Liverpool less than two minutes later, halted when the ball was cleared by McLintock. The game was briefly paused immediately after this attack, owing to Emlyn Hughes receiving treatment after being hit in the face by the ball. Liverpool were now having more of the possession, though the next clear chance, in the 74th minute, fell to Ray Kennedy when he received a John Radford cross within the goal area. The game opened up considerably from this point, and a George Graham header from a Radford long throw hit the crossbar in the 77th minute. The resulting corner led to a scrambled goal-line clearance by Lindsay. Steve Heighway mounted an instant counter-attack, but it came to nothing. In the next three minutes, Wilson was forced to make two saves in response to further attacks by Heighway and Thompson. A further solo effort by Brian Hall came five minutes before the end of the half, followed shortly afterwards by a shot from Kennedy at the other end.

Extra time
The first period of extra time began with Arsenal kicking off facing the same way as in the second half, with the low sun at their backs. Within a minute, a move which began with Larry Lloyd deep within Liverpool's half found Heighway in space on the left flank. He sent a low ball from the edge of the penalty area which went behind the advancing Wilson and into the Arsenal net. Two minutes later John Toshack almost made it two, with a sharp reflex save required from Wilson to prevent further damage to Arsenal's cause. Liverpool continued to dominate for the next ten minutes, but without any clear chances. This pressure left some holes in Liverpool's defence, however, and in the eleventh minute of extra time an overhead kick from John Radford into the Liverpool penalty area led to a scrambled attempt to clear the ball which saw the ball end up in the net. Eddie Kelly is often credited with the goal but tv footage exists that shows George Graham got the final touch. Clemence was forced to make a brave save two minutes from the end of the half after a centring cross almost found Kelly deep in the Liverpool area. The last chance of the half came from a strong shot from distance by Radford which went straight to Clemence.

By the start of the second period of extra time, the hot conditions and pace of the match were starting to take their toll, with several players (notably Brian Hall and George Graham) suffering from cramp. As such play was more broken, with fewer successful attacks, as crosses frequently failed to find their targets. Liverpool had the first clear chance after five minutes, when a cross from Thompson deep on the right flank narrowly failed to find Toshack. An immediate counterattack required Tommy Smith to tackle Kennedy deep in his own penalty area after Kennedy had received a long ball from Graham. The winning goal was to come moments later in the seventh minute of the period, when a ball from Radford found Charlie George just outside the Liverpool penalty area. His powerful strike beat Clemence to hit the top left of the Liverpool net. He followed this up with his famous celebration, lying on his back with arms outstretched until he was picked up by other members of his team. Liverpool were not to give up, however, and the first opportunity to reply came from Chris Lawler, who defied his cramping legs to attempt a flying kick at a pass from Toshack within the Arsenal area. This was one of the few remaining instances to really threaten in the dying minutes, however, although Radford produced a powerful long-range shot some two minutes before the final whistle.

The match was played in a great spirit of sportsmanship by the players and was responded to as such by the fans. When Liverpool's Lawler was floored with cramp late in extra time, he was helped to recover by two Arsenal players. Arsenal's victory – and double win after a gruelling 64-match season – was greeted with an ovation by both their own and Liverpool's fans at the stadium, and Liverpool were also cheered by both sets of fans as they took a lap of honour after the presentation of the trophy and medals.

Match details

Home media
Television coverage of the match has been released on DVD by the BBC as part of their FA Cup Final Classics series as part of a double-DVD set (BBCDVD 1681) along with Arsenal's win over Manchester United in the 1979 FA Cup Final. It was the last FA Cup Final to be commentated on by Kenneth Wolstenholme.
The ITV coverage was also released on DVD in 2004, as one of a series of DVDs covering the 1970s Cup Finals, distributed by ILC Sport (DVD2508). The same company have also released DVDs of all the 1980s and 1990s Cup Finals.

How Can You Stick with the Winners?
by Gordon Davidescu.In Urban Semiotic.11 Comments on How Can You Stick with the Winners?
Stick with the winners. That's a powerful lesson as taught to me by none other than my dear friend, Joe Rich. What I am referring to is not the people who are necessarily successful in life, but the people who have positive, successful attitudes. By surrounding yourself with people that have such attitudes and avoiding people who are mired in negativity and a lack of motivation, he told me, you can be pushed to do better and rise above your own expectations. Here are some examples from my own life; they are of course exquisitely disguised as I am not too keen on libel lawsuits. You can judge for yourself which ones are the winners and which are the ones to be avoided and excised from your life.
I was first introduced to Theresa and Albert one Friday night in the context of a Friday night Shabbos meal. In the Jewish religion, we honor the holy Shabbos by holding three meals; one on Friday night and two on Saturday itself. I was set up to go to Theresa and Albert's home through the synagogue meal coordinator and was pleased that I had somewhere to go instead of eating by myself. I kept on going because I was far too shy at the time to find other places to go. The food was delicious but many times I would walk away with a feeling of inner sadness, as though I were doing something inherently wrong with my life that I desperately needed to fix.
I spoke with a close friend who told me that while he used to enjoy going to Theresa and Albert's, he completely stopped because he found their home to be a toxic environment. I could not believe this and did not understand what my friend meant. He pointed out that although both Theresa and Albert were good and generous people, there was a poison under the surface. Whenever anything in the realm of plans or ideas were mentioned to Theresa, she would gloss over them with a thick paintbrush of bile and pessimism. Albert would regularly slip in barbs of sarcasm, jabbing at people in a manner subtle enough to make it seem like it was almost accidental and yet not.
When I went there again, it was as though a glass jar had fallen onto the ground and shattered, the sharp shards spreading everywhere with a noise that could not be avoided. First, an idea that I had mentioned about applying to a certain job was poo poohed by Theresa without much consideration to how I felt about it. Then a sarcastic remark came from Albert about my prospects for finding someone with whom I would ever have a serious relationship. My friend was right, I realized. It took some time but eventually I walked away from the home for good.
I met Tanya a number of years ago. She was, and remains, friends with another friend of mine. We spent some time hanging out from time to time, and our time was generally pleasant. As time went on, I started to notice some less than pleasant things about Tanya. For example, I noticed that when Tanya was talking about her own problems, they were the most important problems in the universe. However, whenever I wanted to talk about some things that were going on in my own life, there just simply wasn't any time to speak with me.
I also started to notice that days would pass without our speaking and then Tanya would call, invariably with a problem for me to resolve. How could I possibly think of doing anything but to come up with a solution to her problem? When I would call Tanya and want to talk about something, I would leave a message only to not hear back from her until the next time she had a problem; again, her problems were never small. They were always monumental issues that would induce lakes of tears. She would leave messages on my voice mail service that would just go on and on and on and by the time I was done listening, I didn't need to have a second conversation with her because I knew everything she was going to say.
I started attending a class taught by Conrad when I moved back to New York at the end of August. I loved attending the class because I always learned things and I enjoyed the spirit with which Conrad infused the class. He really knew the subject well. After the first couple of classes, he asked me how I would like to have a Shabbos lunch meal at his home. I was thrilled. The prerequisite for having the meal at his home was that I was to attend his synagogue of choice and the class he taught after the morning prayers had come to an end.
I did exactly that and was once again enchanted with his class. He walked me to his home where one of his daughters offered to get me a book to read while the meal was set up. I read an English biography of some rabbi whose name I do not recall at this moment. Conrad's wife came out and we talked about the day. The meal was mostly quiet although Conrad had quite a lot of questions for me about my background and how it was that I came to become observant. He and a couple of the guests there gave some suggestions for things I should consider doing to continue in my growth.
I suppose I made it quite obvious who the more toxic people were, and who the positive person was. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself: who are the winners? A person doesn't have to be wealthy or powerful to be a winner; some of the wealthiest people are miserable and walk around with the darkest clouds over their heads.
Find the winners and stick with them.
Attitude is the key that makes the difference in life. Complaining is comforting, we surely need help when we are in trouble but we do not need to whine or we don't need to support that either.
Great article! Love the insights and your reasoning for discovering winners.
I realize the importance of being with people who have a positive outlook and the experience of knowing a downer or two only increases our appreciation of these true gems!
That's right. If we had no downers at all in life, would we more carefully scrutinize the gems to see the small flaws that do exist?
I thank you for taking the article of the day.
I love this article and I think it's the best thing you've written. I love the blend of your religion, your kind self, and your witty and prescient insight.
I spoke with a close friend who told me that while he used to enjoy going to Theresa and Albert's, he completely stopped because he found their home to be a toxic environment. I could not believe this and did not understand what my friend meant.
In the past, you have taught me that that kind of A+B Against C is uncouth in the Jewish Community because one is basically gossiping and bad-mouthing someone who is unable to directly defend themselves.
Now, perhaps your close friend didn't know any better because he wasn't Jewish — but what about you? You know better.
Why did you let that sort of snarky attack against people who had been kind to you affect you? Why not decide for yourself?
Perhaps you were on that lonesome road of self-discovery — and you would've earned the results of that experience on your own. However, the push from your "close friend" pulled you down into the dirty pit and, in my reading of your story, makes Theresa and Albert sponges of sympathy for the wrong that was done against them in the light of their willingness to share their table with you and your close friend.
The Chofetz Chaim teaches that speaking ill about someone when you are trying to protect your friend from an imminent danger, it is permissible. My friend knows that I generally allow people to treat me as a doormat and, I think, wanted to warn me that it was being done.
I should have been more specific. I chose to not believe that Theresa and Albert were toxic. I decided that I wanted to see for myself if it were possible that they were anything but saintly. I wanted to decide for myself if it was a toxic environment or if my friend just had it in for them. I really went in with an open mind and just tried to have a normal Shabbos meal but I listened carefully to everything they said.
That is ultimately how I reached my conclusion. I also didn't mention another incident that happened later involving Elizabeth that sealed the deal, but I thought it to be extraneous when I wrote the article.
Thanks for the high compliment 🙂 Writing about it was a good experience.
I do love it when you explore religion, morality and cultural memes, Gordon. Your writing is at its most effective in that context.
I am still a bid saddened that your close friend poisoned you against people that welcomed you into their home to celebrate Shabbos. No marriage is perfect, but the willingness to bring others into your home to celebrate a grand religion — in spite of any marital difficulties — deserves some modicum of respect in the overall view. Did you tell them the real reason why you decided to stop celebrating with them?
I do overall hold a great deal of respect for Albert and Theresa – but I have learned to keep an appropriate distance. I felt that telling them the real reason(s) that I no longer attended their meals would do nothing but hurt their feelings and ultimately serve no purpose. Better that they see that I now hold my own meals and invite people.
A refreshing article. Stick with winners. What happens when you're sticking with a winner and it becomes a loser? Can a loser become a winner again?

Casino Surveillance at Mohegan Sun: Two of a Kind
The biggest challenge for Mohegan Sun's security and surveillance team? Catch the crooks before they leave the casino with the loot.
By Daintry Duffy
CSO |
In the wee hours of a Monday morning, four guys sit down at a mini-baccarat table at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Conn. They are unremarkable in their appearance, demeanor and play. But their luck is anything but ordinary. In a matter of a couple hours, they ride their cards to a six-figure payout.
It could be chalked up to staggering good fortune. But in an industry where the odds are heavily stacked in favor of the house, and the schemes and scams vary from the legendary to the ludicrous, Dave Todd and Jim Friel have learned to be skeptical when Lady Luck pays an extended call. "Luck is always an intricate variable when trying to figure out if someone is cheating, and we evaluate their play to make that determination," says Todd, who is vice president of security and surveillance for the casino. "But sometimes we watch extremely lucky people, and they really are just that. Lucky."
In the case of the mini-bac players, there was reason to believe that they had more than just a well-worn rabbit's foot working in their favor. "Some people were of the opinion that these guys were lucky, but I knew something was wrong," says Friel, Mohegan's director of surveillance. A couple of details stood out for Todd and Friel when they arrived Monday and learned about the previous night's big payout. First, the win had occurred during a graveyard shift, the casino's 12 a.m. to 8 a.m. shift, when would-be cheaters assume there's a light surveillance staff. Second, the players had refused the free Player's Club cards that allow gamblers to rack up points toward food, merchandise and entertainment but that also require a valid I.D. for enrollment. Still, the dealer, floor person and pit manager noticed nothing unusual about the way the men played. Perhaps they were no-frills guys out for a late-night gamble and didn't feel like getting bogged down in paperwork and comps.
Friel didn't buy it. He suspected that if anything untoward had happened, it was likely to have occurred during the shuffle. In mini-bac, eight decks of cards are used at a time, and while eight decks are in play, another eight decks are shuffled in a large glass-enclosed machine to the side of the dealer. Friel examined the casino surveillance video.
What couldn't be seen with the naked eye, Friel could see unmistakably through the camera's filtered lens. He noticed a small infrared beam emanating from the wrist of a gentleman sitting next to the shuffle machine, illuminating the cards as they were shuffled. The man—who to the casual observer was simply a player—was, in fact, a techno-savvy grifter, recording the cards with a high-speed camera tucked up his sleeve. After the shuffle, he left the casino floor to review the film and give the sequence of cards to the playershis four accompliceswho then played the next round knowing whether the banker's or the player's hand would win.
For Friel and Todd, playing detective and piecing together all the aspects of a scam is usually gratifying, but doing so almost 12 hours after the perps have decamped with their winnings is far from ideal.
Then again, that's the daily challenge for the Mohegan Sun security and surveillance team. The technology, procedures and training are all crafted with a single ambitious goal: Don't just catch the cheatscatch them while they're still on the floor.
Both Todd and Friel earned their security stripes in the fast lanefirst as Philadelphia cops and later on the casino floors of Atlantic City. Swindlers and cheaters bank on the knowledge that if they're fingered by casino security, it's a quick sprint to the doors where they can be lost in the bustle of the boardwalk or the crowds of another casino. "It was more of a big city atmosphere where people intentionally tried to commit thefts and were more resistant to security," says Todd, comparing Atlantic City's clientele with that of a rural Connecticut setting. Mohegan Sun attracts few hardened criminal types. The opportunity to escape from the authorities is minimalunless paddling away on the nearby river Thames can be considered an optionand Mohegan's tribal police have the authority to close down reservation roads if necessary.
Todd started at Harrah's and moved to Harrah's at Trump Plaza casino when it opened in 1984. He became a director of security and a personal bodyguard for Donald Trump, coordinating executive protection details for The Donald and the numerous stars, dignitaries and tycoons who drifted in and out of his orbit. Todd also managed security for the Trump Plaza casino and for big arena events such as Mike Tyson's heavyweight bouts and Rolling Stones concerts.
Friel worked in surveillance down the strip at Claridge and then moved to the Playboy casino and finally over to Trump Plaza, where he joined Todd as the director of surveillance.
After 16 years in Atlantic City, Todd couldn't pass up the opportunity to manage security and surveillance for Mohegan Sun when it opened in 1996, and he brought Friel with him to continue their partnership. Both men realized from the outset that the challenges of running security at the sprawling 240-acre casino and resort would be very different from their previous assignments. Aside from the different environment, Mohegan Sun is also the second-largest casino in the world with 300,000 square feet of gaming space (only its Connecticut neighbor Foxwoods Casino is larger with an additional 20,000 square feet). The sheer sprawl of the casino necessitates an enormous surveillance system with more than 3,000 cameras and a sizeable security staff, including 450 full-time security officers working three, eight-hour shifts plus 10 part-timers and an additional 60 officers on call.
side from the scale of the challenge, Mohegan Sun also requires a different approach to its customers. Todd takes issue with the cliché that casinos are magnets for unsavory individuals. It might get its share of cardsharps and pickpockets, but most crimes that occur at Mohegan Sun are what he refers to as "thefts of opportunity." One patron steals the coins that another patron inadvertently leaves at a slot machine. It's criminal behavior, but as larcenies go, it's hardly egregious.
Gambling can be an emotional roller coasterthe exhilaration of being up $2,000 often followed by the pain of losing it all back to the house. When patrons are greeted with a smile, it's good marketing, and it's also a form of preventive security. If gamblers feel put off or ignored, and it's combined with a loss on the casino floor or a little too much alcohol, it can create a problem. "When security folks make eye contact [with customers] and treat them nicely," says Todd, "it sets the mood for the day and makes people come back because it's a friendly and safe place."
Atlantic City's quasi-police force approach wouldn't work with Mohegan Sun's family-oriented setting. Todd wanted a kinder, gentler security force that would still maintain a strong presence. The result is the blue-blazered officers that stand at every door to greet the 210,000 visitors that come through the casino each week. They make eye contact with everybody and stay watchful for known troublemakers and minors, but they're also quick to provide directions or to wish a patron luck on the casino floor. It's an approach that Todd compares with the uber-bouncer role in the movie Road House. Todd instructs his security officers, "I want you to be nice, until it's time to not be nice."
Training Mohegan's security staff to recognize the growing list of scams is yet another challenge to which Todd and Friel give constant attention. Security and surveillance need to be vigilant for everything from old-fashioned distract-and-grab teams that prey on gamblers to more sophisticated cheats that work solo at the slots, pushing mini-fiber-optic lights up the machine to blind the counting optics so that they release more coins.
But because security pays less than gaming, Todd struggles to hold on to his staff. Often young people start out in security, where they receive a company orientation and a week of security training. After six months, they move on to one of the gaming departments. While it's frustrating to have the constant turnover, it is conducive to building security awareness throughout the organization as employees with security backgrounds disperse among the casino's various departments.
In Friel's group, the pay is better and a basic knowledge of cameras and surveillance is preferred. New surveillance staff also receive more training, attending six months of gaming schooling where they learn all the games on the casino floor. The goal is that they should know each game as wellor betterthan the dealers and the players in order to detect inappropriate behavior. Once they begin work, they also have a surveillance coach who works with them, sharing their experience and teaching them the intricacies of detecting a scam underway. Surveillance staff can never transfer to another position within the casino, because they know too much about where all the cameras are located and the "tells" that surveillance staff look for.
The security stats suggest that considering the casino's level of risk, Todd's approach has been effective. As of August 2003, Mohegan Sun has had 576 total arrests since it opened. The most common reasons were trespassing by banned individuals (180), breach of the peace (136) and larceny (118). The casino has had only one case of a person being robbed.
Todd credits some of that success to the fact that security and surveillance work hand-in-hand at his casinoa situation that he says is not the norm at most establishments. Todd describes the relationship that often exists between the two departments in other casinos as being hampered by "a CIA mentality," where information-sharing between departments is poor because everyone wants to be the hero who gets credit for busting up a scam or handling a security problem. Todd's position uniquely places him over both security and surveillance, and his office and Friel's are close enough that hollering out a question makes more sense than picking up a phone. "Up here, we get tremendous benefit from working together," says Todd. "Surveillance calls security right away, and they keep in constant contact. Nobody stands out more than anyone else, and we rise and fall as one team."
On the resort, there are three different security forces that must all work side-by-side: the casino security team, the tribal police and the state police. Todd has mandated that his security staff cannot touch a patron, except in self-defense, but there are always two or three state troopers on hand to deal with any arrests or violent security problems. The hotel and grounds at the resort are handled by tribal security. They have the authority to stop a person's forward progress and to detain an individual, but they also must hand them over to state police for an official arrest.
But Todd's team also extends beyond the borders of the Mohegan Sun reservation. The casino security community is a small, tight-knit one, and with so many criminals working the same ploys at one casino after the next, information-sharing across security departments is critical to catching them in the act.
Networking among the casinos is not done through any formal system; rather it's through e-mails and phone calls among "the guys" who have worked together in various venues during the years and who now watch each other's backs. Friel and Todd both have numerous contacts in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, and they'll frequently get a phone call from a contact alerting them to a new scam or notifying them that a well-known crook was spotted at the Philadelphia airport and may be working his way up the East Coast. "You have to keep an open line of communication," says Todd, "because you're only as good as the information that you get. People come in disguises; they come in from all over and you're not going to know them. So when you have the chance, you give somebody a heads up so they're prepared for it, and if it's relayed to you, then you're prepared."
hile many CSOs struggle with with the issue of employee monitoringdebating how much of it to do and how to do itTodd and Friel have no such qualms. Constant monitoring on the casino floor, and in sensitive areas in the back of house, are a fact of life for the casino business. "[Security officers] understand that because we're constantly moving money from one area to another we have to monitor them," says Todd.
All casino employees must be licensed in order to work at the resort. When they first submit their applications, the Casino Licensing and Operations Unit performs an extensive background check; a 70-page document that examines the applicant's time in school, family, relatives and finances.

Autoantibody profiles in juvenile arthritis
D. C. Haynes, M. Eric Gershwin, D. L. Robbins, J. J. Miller, D. Cosca

Serologic and correlational testing was performed in a series of 65 patients diagnosed as having juvenile arthritis (JA) and in 21 age matched controls to detect the presence of antinuclear antibodies (ANA), antibodies to ssDNA, IgM and IgG rheumatoid factor (RF), immune complexes (IC) and antibodies to bovine type I and human type II collagen. ANA were found in 51% of the JA patients; the highest incidence (75%) was noted in the pauciarticular onset disease group. Low levels of anti-ssDNA antibodies were detected in 22% of the patients, all of whom had active disease. IgM RF was detected in 35% of the JA patients but only 6% of patients had IgG RF. Similarly, about one fourth of the JA patients had IC detected by the Clq assay. Antibodies to bovine type I and human type II collagen were noted in about 12% of the JA patients.

Rowe was also the head coach of men's basketball at UConn and directed the program for eight years, winning 120 games, according to the school. He also was named the New England Coach of the Year in both 1970 and 1976.
After his head coaching tenure at UConn concluded, school officials said Rowe launched the fundraising arm for UConn Athletics and generated millions of dollars in donor giving for the school. "he personally directed the effort to raise more than $7 million in private donations to support the building of the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion/Sports Center Complex, which opened in 1990," the school said in part.

Rowe officially retired from UConn at the end of 1991, but remained actively involved with his emeritus role as Special Adviser for Athletics for the last 30 years, UConn said.
During his career, Rowe has been awarded multiple honors and awards, including an award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
"Coach Rowe's remarkable eight-decade professional career included numerous individual honors and was highlighted in 2017 when he was named recipient of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award---the highest and most prestigious award presented by the Hall of Fame outside of Enshrinement," the school said.
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont tweeted about Rowe on Sunday after learning about his death:
Today, we are saddened to lose a cornerstone of the University of Connecticut. Coach Rowe was not only a championship-winning, Hall of Fame coach, but a mentor who devoted his life to inspiring countless athletes at UConn and beyond. https://t.co/cRkksac7oT

UMass research farm aims to teach latest innovations
August 4, 2014 jgerber123	Leave a comment
By RICHIE DAVIS – Recorder Staff – Sunday, August 3, 2014
SOUTH DEERFIELD — Pigs and bumblebees were there, as were biochar, solar collectors and energy- saving coolers.
Agricultural field day at the University of Massachusetts Crop and Animal Research Farm is an annual chance for farmers to see the latest innovations in crop research, and the event last Tuesday event drew more than 60 people to view 18 ongoing trials, including one that integrated pig and vegetable production.
With an increased demand for locally raised meat and a growing demand by vegetable growers for manure, the strategy of having a test crew of 10 pigs eat hairy vetch and winter rye as cover crops before letting them loose in a harvested squash field was what Frank Mangan, a vegetable researcher, was looking into.
"Working with vegetables for 30 years, I wanted to work with a crop that you can actually harvest year-round," Mangan told onlookers as an assistant whistled to 10 four-month-old pigs that come running across what had been "a very lush field of vetch and rye" that they continue to trample and eat.
The farm is going through the process of applying for certification from the federal Good Agricultural Practices and state Commonwealth Quality programs, under which manure is becoming heavily regulated.
"We're trying to make the case that manure is an important part of our system here in New England, with smaller farms, and we want to encourage that kind of rotation," he said. Current GAP rules require a 120-day wait period from the time manure is applied until a vegetable crop that "touches the ground" can be harvested. "They're still negotiating this, and we want to make the case that this is a viable system, and we can do it safely."
The pigs are scheduled to be slaughtered in late September, at about 200 pounds each, to provide one dinner for one of UMass's four dining commons.
"We serve 45,000 meals a day," he said. "I hear that and I think 'market,'" especially since the Amherst campus is signed up for the Real Food Challenge to serve 30 percent of its meals with local, non-genetically- modified foods.
Feasting on the cover crop, he said, the pigs are eating half their normal volume of grain as part of a diversified, low-labor system providing a vegetable as well as meat.
Years ago, when farmers were encouraged to plant cover crops, they said the land was too valuable to be used for that purpose, Mangan said. "Here instead of just raising pigs on an acre or growing a vegetable, we split it in half, so the full acre is 'in production,'" with the squash harvest planned in September, 120 days after the manure was applied.
Another example of mixed crop was what agronomy professor Stephen Herbert called "the first installation of dual-use grazing land and solar panels" in the country, with 90 to 95 percent of normal hay yields. "What you see around the country, and around Massachusetts is farmers giving up land for solar panels," said Herbert. "We need every acre of farmland we have for food."
The UMass system, with 70 panels 7 feet off the ground and arranged on posts at different distances apart, generates 26 kilowatts of electricity on less than a quarter-acre, and includes small plantings of tomatoes, kale, broccoli and lettuce. A larger system is also planned.
"It's a no-brainer," he said of the systems, plotted so the panels shade out little of the crops. "You just have to be crazy enough to imagine what you might do."
On a demonstration plot on one-half acre, biologist Lynn Adler pointed to 1,500 flowering plants of 15 varieties which researchers are inoculating with laboratory-raised parasites, crithidia. The crithidia are placed in large screen cages with common Eastern bumblebees to study the effect of different defensive plant chemicals on transmission of disease to the bees. The research is part of a broader study of diseases that are weakening native bee populations.
"We're recording how many flowers they forage on … and how much total foraging time," said Adler, explaining that after each afternoon's trial, the bees are returned to the lab and dissected after a week to see whether they are infected and what the extent of the infection is.
It's far too early to know whether it's the bee balm, foxglove, snapdragons, sunflowers or other varieties that are most likely to transmit the pathogen left in the feces of other infected bees, and to discover what kind of floral traits might predict odds of transmitting disease.
"Is it species that make lots of flowers, is it species that make lots of nectar, is it flowers of a certain shape, or flowers with a defense chemistry in their nectar?" said Adler. "Can I make some more general predictions that would help us be able to predict in a landscape which species are likely to be the hub of transmission?" That kind of research is a far cry from testing the use of a humidifier with air-cooled food storage systems that try to boost energy efficiency and also the freshness of stored fall crops like carrots, or a test to improve soil fertility by using mineral-rich rock dust and biochar from burning plant matter with limited oxygen.
But each of the experiments, Herbert said, could potentially have import applications in helping to make agriculture in the region more viable.

How to raise capital quickly using a Jersey cash box
With the global outbreak of COVID-19, many listed companies in the UK are looking at ways to raise capital quickly in order to finance their expenses and expenditure during a time of reduced revenue.
Our expert David Carswell explains how a Jersey cash box could help UK PLCs.
David Carswell
Managing Director, Jersey
A fast and efficient way to raise capital could be through the Jersey 'Cash Box' solution.
What is a Jersey cash box structure?
A cash box provides a mechanism for negating the requirement for the statutory pre-emption rights and formalities required under the UK companies law when issuing securities directly for a cash subscription.
By allowing publicly listed companies to instead issue securities to investors in exchange for a non-cash subscription, they can raise capital without being subject to the same restrictions. For their subscription monies, investors receive securities in a Jersey company, incorporated and wholly owned by the PLC.
The PLC then issues its own securities to the investor's in exchange for the securities in the Jersey Co.
The investors receive their PLC securities, and the PLC receive securities in a Jersey Co (the non-cash subscription). The PLC can then either redeem the securities for the investor's subscription monies or extract the funds by way of a dividend or on the winding up of the Jersey Co.
How can Hawksford assist?
We are based in Jersey, a jurisdiction tried and tested for providing cash box solutions. We can incorporate companies on a same day basis, where time is of the essence.
The company wind-up process is also quick and there is no requirement to appoint a liquidator. Jersey companies do not require local directors, meaning that the management and control can be based in the UK and the company would not be liable to Jersey income tax. Jersey has no capital gains or withholding taxes.
There is also no stamp duty or other Jersey taxes on the transfer of shares.
