Having lived in Florida most of my life, it is not uncommon when driving along to see a turtle lumbering across a busy road. I have always been impressed when I see a car pulled aside, flashers on and an individual heroically picking up the gentle creature taking it to safety in a nearby ditch or field. In all of my years I have not come across a scenario where I was the "First Responder" who would save the day for the distressed reptile.
Finally a few weeks back I was driving down a narrow rural road, it was a beautiful day and as I looked ahead I saw a shape in the distance on the other side of the road. At first I could not tell what it was, and thought it was debris from a fender bender, but as I got closer, I realized it was a large turtle slowly crossing the road and there was a car moving swiftly in its direction.
This was my chance to be heroic. I put my car into park put on my flashers and jumped out waving to the oncoming car. Yes, it was dangerous, but I was the "First Responder" and finally I was going to get to save the day. I ran up to my creature in distress and as I drew closer, I realized it was a large turtle, roughly the size of a small dutch oven. I had to move swiftly because the oncoming car drew nearer and I was concerned that a car coming in my lane might not see my flashers or me. This turtle was so big, I wondered how heavy he would be as I prepared to scoop him up in my arms and whisk him away to safety.
But then I came right up next to him, and stopped dead in my tracks with my jaw dropping to the asphalt. This adorable turtle I was heroically going to save, had a hideous head and a ferocious looking face, his legs and tail were spiked like a dinosaur. It was a very large Alligator Snapping Turtle. Ugh!!! It was hideous ugly and looked fierce. So now my excitement over rescuing this creature waned and I instantly considered leaving it be and jumping in my car and heading homeward. But I knew that if I did not act fast, the oncoming car was sure to run right over it.
I could not pick it up, it was so big and so angry, that it would have made a snack out of my fingers, so I used my foot to scoot it along. The prehistoric creature kept rearing up its ugly head in protest and digging in his spiked feet and legs, This really was not what I had in mind as my first rescue… There I was scooting along this angry and resistant Alligator Snapping Turtle, and all I can think of now is, "I sure hope nobody hits my car for this." I moved the prehistoric looking creature to safety, with absolutely no assistance or appreciation from him.
I hopped into the car and headed on my way, pondering over the fact that I was much more excited about the idea of being a hero and saving a cute helpless turtle. Sadly, when reality occurred and the creature that needed my help was cantankerous, and even possibly dangerous, it changed the prospective ROI (Return On Investment) for me. There was much less glory in this rescue. I almost turned away and let the turtle take its chances with the oncoming car, simply because I did not feel comfortable based on its looks and attitude. I am not proud of that.
I thought about those people who cross my path in daily settings, such as work, neighborhood, church, check out lines, behind the wheel,etc. Some people can be challenging and cantankerous, and I find that my tendency is to avoid them at all cost. Jesus, came into a world full of complicated and cantankerous people, lumbering in the path of danger. He made Himself completely available to touch, heal and offer Words of Life and Love and the actual path for eternal rescue. Not once did He waiver or change His course and purpose for being here. He came to do His Father's Will, to pay the price on the cross for our cantankerous and life threatening/condemning sins . He didn't allow our unappreciative attitudes, or our snapping protests and our stubborn wills that cause us to dig in and resist His act of selfless love and heroism to keep Him from Heroically offering the Rescue. He loves us, because we are His creation and He longs to bring us into safety and so much more.
The day that I saved that hideous creature, I learned that Alligator Snapping Turtles are endangered species and in spite of his resistance and ugly demeanor he needed to be saved and there was no way he was going to outmaneuver that oncoming car on his own…..
At the end of the day I didn't feel heroic, but rather humbled instead….
I had the opportunity to see the Gin Blossoms 25th Anniversary Tour of "New Miserable Experience". The event was in a small theater venue and our seats were up front but off to the side. It was a small enough venue that we were within 2 steps of the stage, and the band was excellent! Time has not taken away from their talent, and it is always refreshing to see a band that has managed to maintain their original integrity and skill.
I watched as he stood there, arms folded and glaring at the crowd. As the band entered the stage, people around us stood, some moved forward to take pictures and as my friend had suggested, "Dudley Do Right", moved in swiftly and sharply pointing people back to their place. With the exception of a few V.I.P. guests seated immediately in front of the band, most of the crowd remained seated , hoping to avoid the glare or wrath of the zealot security guard.
His presence was so impacting that the lead singer finally spoke up and told the crowd that "This is a rock concert, not a movie, stand up and join us at the stage." Even after that invitation, only a few people came forward and took some pics, quickly returning to their seats and those seated in the center aisles sheepishly began to stand and clap. But there I sat with "Dudley" 3 feet in front of me. I could spy the corner of the stage that I wanted to go to, but I had to traverse right past him and even then I would be shoulder to shoulder with him.
I have a reputation for having a dance style like the character "Elaine" from Seinfeld. All I could think of was that if I actually got the courage to jump up and move to the stage corner with my eclectic dance moves, "Dudley" would have an elbow in his eye and I would be escorted out of the building. So I sat there in my seat watching this amazing band , tentatively clapping my hands and my feet were shuffling with stilted energy.
If you have ever seen the movie "Happy Feet", it is a movie about a little penguin who is different than the others. While the other penguins all sing angelically and in order, "Happy Feet" moves convulsively in place when he hears music, as he attempts to suppress his natural response to the music. It is a sweet movie, if you haven't seen it. So I sat convulsively moving in my seat and although I enjoyed the band, it all felt awkward, and I thought this isn't quite how I pictured this experience in my head as I drove to the concert earlier that evening.
I jumped to my feet and did my best "Elaine" dance and even moved to the corner stage. I even got to "High Five" the lead singer, Robin Wilson."Dudley" was definitely within my elbow shot, but thankfully, there were no black eyes on either of our part. The concert was excellent, The Gin Blossoms wrapped it up with an awesome tribute song to Tom Petty, which of course made me even more impressed with the evening.
Social etiquette can be so complicated, there is a spectrum within which we all try to fit. For some it is easier than others, and in some cases there are extremes that in all truth for the sake and safety of the crowd, we need to respectfully curb. The young man who stormed the stage created a genuine safety risk for himself ( highly inebriated) and for the band and other concert goers. I understand why there is a need to keep some degree of order, hence "Dudley".
The rest of the evening, "Dudley" was much more relaxed and less intense towards the crowd. He only approached people to disperse if they lingered too long in areas that had potential to create a hazard risk. I had a great time, and I actually wonder if perhaps "Dudley" did as well. He wasn't all that bad after all….
So a few weeks ago, I had the privilege to attend a Tom Petty Tribute Concert at Skipper's Smokehouse (If you have never been, you must go to Skipper's, nothing else like it on the planet). I went with one of my very best friends from high school, back in the day, we were fans of Tom and his rebel band the Heart Breakers and it was nostalgic to attend this event together.
There were bands playing tribute songs beginning at 4 p.m. and going nonstop until past 10 p.m. It was fun to see so many band members of a wide range of ages and genre playing Tom's songs with such verve… Of course none could outperform Mr. Petty himself, but they honored him well.
One of the band leaders was very young, most likely in his mid twenties. He was good looking, like a younger version of Johnny Depp, and he was dressed brilliantly and had amazing energy and passion. I was impressed, and yet as he sang, I felt as though the performance was just that, a performance. I am sure that this young man has a great future ahead of him, and he definitely has the "It" factor that seems so important in Hollywood and/or Nashville.
There was a different band however, that truly caught my eye. As they came out to set up, the Lead singer and guitar player stepped on stage, barefoot and in a white t-shirt and worn out old jeans. He was older, probably my age, which is to say that he most likely was playing in a band about the time my friend and i were in high school or college.
My girlfriend said, "He looks like Luke Perry." and my reply was "Yeah, Luke Perry after many rough years on the road." You see this man was handsome, but he also bore the look of someone who had been through a few more life experiences than the Johnny Depp lookalike.
When the band (Sonic Stew) began to play, it sounded good, but something was off. For a brief bit of time, they seemed to struggle with coming together with the right sound. That is when I saw something amazing happen. This Barefoot Lead Singer, went over to the Base Player and he began to listen to the cords and essentially lead him into an incredible synchrony. What started out as a sound that was flat and off, turned into one of the best combinations and performances of the evening.
This Barefoot Leader, remained calm, never lost focus, kept smiling throughout and worked with the band to turn the performance into a memorable tribute. At one point he looked my way, and I saw in his eyes calm confidence and sheer joy. I know that Tom P. was honored that evening, and I left that concert impressed with the reminder that First Impressions are important, but be very careful not to put all of your expectations and assumptions in them. You might just miss the best performance of the night….
I do not know the name of the Barefoot, Bold and Brilliant Leader of Sonic Stew, but that evening was a fun hands on expression of Leadership at it's Best. Sadly, I do not actually see much of that from Leaders in the corporate setting. Many talk a good talk, dress brilliantly and have energy and passion, but the confident focus and genuine passion and leading by example such as the Barefoot Leader exhibited , is far and few between.
Tom Petty wrote and performed many brilliant songs, but the one that comes to mind as I ponder this recent tribute event is "Saving Grace". The lyrics are so solid and no doubt Mr. Petty was searching as we all are. There was another Barefoot/Sandaled Leader many years ago, and without Jesus, there would be no soul searching Saving Grace.

Doc Martin. It takes place in a sleepy seaside English Village , Port Isaac. The main character is a complex man who is diagnosed with OCD, Attachment Disorder and a myriad of other spectrum issues that leave him "flat" in his human interactions.
His character is married with a child, but due to his lack of emotional attachment, his wife considers divorce. There is a scene where Doc Martin is with a therapist and with great difficulty explains that he is there because he wants to save his marriage, and he wants his wife to be "Happy". The therapist asks him if he would like to be "Happy", and he flatly answers that he just doesn't operate with that realm of emotion or expression. How sad.
It seems that "Happiness" is one of the primary reasons that sales and marketing thrive. The companies want to convince us that we have a problem and they have the solution, and if we purchase the solution, we will be "Happy". Of course in this scenario, the "Happy" bucket has a hole in it and therefore the companies continue to sell and market newer and improved ways to be "Happy" ,at a price of course.
I was in London years ago and after 10 wonderful days, I was rushing through Heathrow Airport to head home. A vendor caught my eye with her wares and I stopped to look at some beautiful gold jewelry. I noticed a necklace, it was very simple and understated, and it had a Chinese symbol on the charm. I asked the woman what it meant and she beamed as she said "Happiness". I smiled, purchased the necklace and proceeded to place "Happiness" around my neck.
It would be great if it were that easy, just put it on like a charm. I confess that I have relied too heavily on my circumstances and relationship status to measure my "Happiness" level. Of course there are times when it soars under this system, but there are times where it plunges as well and if I mapped it out according to those standards, my "Happiness" meter would look like an abnormal EKG.
I believe that true "Happiness" must be stamped on our heart and our head. It is a benefit that swells from the peace and joy of the Lord. Psalm 144:15 says, "Happy are the people whose God is the Lord." That is lasting and that is what I desire, but I can still get caught up in my circumstances and forget this truth at times. May I never forget the true source of "Happiness".
It has been quite a while since my last post. Many changes occurring in life, which really just means life is as it always is, ever evolving. I spent some time this past week with some very dear friends and it made me think of a phrase that a particularly special friend says to me occasionally, "You're the richest woman I know." If wealth were measured in terms of valuable relationships and the quality of the people in my life, then I will have to concur that I am indeed rich, regardless of the condition of my bank statement.
I walk daily with the Lord and feel sure in His Loving presence and guidance. I have sons that honor and love me. It leaves me beaming with pride for the men that they are and continue to grow into, as God directs their paths. I have numerous friends, all of whom have loved me generously through time, laughter, tears and toil. I have siblings, whom although so very different from me, are always there and have my back if life gets too complicated. My 86 year old mother, has the sweetest heart and so much wisdom to impart as number 9 of 11 children raised during the Depression.
Even though I am grateful to learn that the statistics at present show a positive trend for our nation's economy, I know many individuals who are still struggling financially. Living in the American Culture can add to the pressure, since the things we take for granted are often luxuries in other societies. I am thankful for the safe warm place that I and my family reside in. I am thankful that I have a car that is getting closer to 200,000 miles, but runs like a charm. I am thankful for my own health, and that of my family. I am so thankful for the family and friends that God has abundantly Blessed me with.
Matthew 6:33-34 says "But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (NIV Bible). And I will add to this, that God is Always Good, no matter what the trouble of the day brings.

A while back our county was bracing for a possible hurricane. The days prior to anticipated landfall were calm and beautiful, and then the day before the anticipated event, the clouds and rains came in drenching bucketfuls.
Being a Florida Native, I had my bare minimum hurricane supply intact, and headed to work in the relentless rain. My job is in a location with an expanse of space and acres, and it is not unusual to see some birds of prey when I step out to stretch my legs during a break.
This particularly dreary morning as I prepared to turn towards my building, I saw a large majestic Red-Shouldered Hawk sitting on a fence post, only 4 feet from the ground. The rain was steady and heavy and I looked at this bird of prey, as she sat in the pouring rain. She looked past me, as if to ignore my presence, and simply sat in the pouring rain.
I thought this was odd, because although I had seen Red-Shouldered Hawks in the area before, they were always perched high looking for prey, or soaring above as if securing their area. This hawk just sat on a low fence post in the rain. How strange I thought, but then I pulled up to my parking spot and got busy with my workday.
Only a few hours after arriving at work, I headed to my car to make a trip to one of our neighboring administrative offices, the rain was still pouring steadily in buckets, and much to my surprise, the hawk was still sitting in the drenching rain. I drove past and thought how weird.
When I was returning to my office, I slowly drove near the area where the hawk was perched, trying to see if it was injured or sick, or if there might be a nest nearby. The area that the hawk was perched in was not typical for the area where I would see them searching for prey, so the whole thing left me concerned and perplexed. The hawk looked at me in my car, as if annoyed.
I parked my car in my spot, donned my rain slicker and walked out to the fence post area. I was certain that something was wrong with this beautiful bird and I had to find out why it was not behaving the way I had always seen these beautiful creatures behave. I slowly approached in pouring rain, I was shocked at how close I was able to get, I was within 8-10 feet of the perch.
There I stood in the pouring rain staring at this large majestic hawk, staring back at me. I needed to understand what was wrong so that I could help this creature. The hawk stared back at me in great annoyance, but did not move. More rain, so I went back to my office, wondering if I should call Wildlife Rescue. I was determined to help this majestic creature out, it was not itself.
More hours pass, this time I am so curious that I head out with my slicker during a break, just to see if the hawk was still there. By now 6 hours have passed and the rain is still pouring down, and there the hawk remained , so I drew in my breath and went closer,closer, until finally I was within 5 feet or so from the post looking the hawk squarely in the eye.
I confess I spoke to the hawk ( I know, weirdo…), but I asked her "What is wrong?". This time, she looked straight at me and with a very annoyed movement, she went to a nearby fence post and glared at me. There we were in a standoff in the pouring rain. She must have realized that I was not leaving, so she hopped to the ground clawed at it as if to pretend that she was foraging for food, she looked up at me as if to say "There, is that good enough for you?", then she flew up to a nearby lamp post.
I was so relieved that she flew higher, my mission was accomplished, she was healthy enough to fly or forage if needed. I had ensured her safety in the midst of a pending storm and danger, I saved the day and went back to my office to dry off and accomplish less heroic but nonetheless important work.
Weeks later, I was outside of my office and it was a beautiful day. nearby high up on a power line, I saw the beautiful Red-Shouldered Hawk. She saw me and moved to a spot closer on the pole and then she began to make this loud screeching sound, the whole time looking my way. I saw a smaller hawk on another nearby pole. This screeching went on for some time, and she did not move from the pole near me. I looked with delight and wonder at these majestic creatures.
Then the thought occurred to me….that hawk was telling the other hawk what an annoying and obnoxious creature I was. She was letting me know in no uncertain terms that she was a capable hawk wired by God to behave as a Red-Shouldered Hawk in any and every circumstance. When a dangerous hurricane is coming, hawks don't soar or search for prey, they get low and ride it out so that they may soar and search for prey another. day.
I was so caught up in concern and compassion and determination to figure out what was wrong with the hawk in order to save it and save the day. The hawk just wanted me to leave it alone to be the hawk that God created and equipped it to be, even in a dangerous storm. How many times, I wonder, do I try to observe and query and figure out how to help another when I am certain I know how to help them or rescue them from pending danger, and yet, in truth, I have not understood that they are in a storm,(we all find ourselves in those at one time or another), but they are equipped to move through it.
Sometimes my assumptions are based on misunderstanding, wrong expectations, or simply my discomfort at another's uncomfortable circumstance. What are my true motives when I want to behave with compassion or to assist? Am I just trying to make myself feel better, because I am more comfortable when they are acting in a way that feels more normal and safe for me? Of course there are times when others, both humans and creatures, truly need assistance, but I wonder if too many times, I try to rescue more for my own sensitivity's sake than for theirs? hmmmmmmm…………..

Not every weekend involves a walk on the beach, whenever possible I do seek the sand and sun, but Florida has much more to offer and explore. If you have ever heard of the term Florida Cracker, you may not be aware that it has a strong agricultural history and livestock has played an important role in it. So, a while back I had the opportunity to observe a Junior Cattleman's Show. They had a variety of youth showing their prize cattle for ribbons and awards.
Having no personal experience with livestock, I was impressed with the way these young people handled the animals and I was especially amazed when I saw the Pee Wee Livestock Show. There were children who looked to range in age from 3-5 years old. One little girl in particular was approximately 3 years old, and she was dressed like a true cowgirl with the jeans, bling belt, dress shirt , hat and a show stick.
What amazed me was not this cute little girl pretending to be a cowgirl, what amazed me was she truly was a cowgirl in training. She was walking this animal and leading it with a show stick with great confidence and poise. Of course she had her father following closely to ensure both her and all other's safety, but he too had confidence that this little girl was capable of leading and showing the calf. Keep in mind that when I say calf, these cattle were easily 300 plus pounds and capable of squashing any of the Pee Wee Showmen. But it was clear that these young cowboys and cowgirls have been entrenched in the rich life of agriculture and specifically management of livestock since birth.
What a legacy, these children are apprenticed into a critical part of our life and economic cycle, the management of a farm or cattle takes HARD WORK, planning, coordinating, communication, physical and mental mastery and flexibility due to the unpredictability of weather and the animals themselves. I cannot think of another industry here and now where children are born into a training ground for productivity , purpose and responsibility at such a young age. By the way, although it involves plenty of hard work, these folks have fun and work collaboratively as families and with fellow cattleman and friends. It was an honor and joy to witness this part of our culture that is still crucial and yet forgotten or taken for granted by many.
To punctuate this, a few weeks after observing the show, I had the opportunity to help separate young steer who were being sold for the next Florida State Fair Youth Steer Show. I mentioned that I have no experience in agriculture or livestock. My background has been primarily in sales, customer service and management. In other words I have spent most of my life in a suit and heels. So a few weeks back I found myself out in a pasture with several cattle pens and as the steer were released from the shoot after being weighed- in and tagged, they were driven by a young man in my direction. Someone would yell out a pen number and my job was to ensure that the steer was directed to the proper pen.
This was quite an experience, literally I would have steer ranging in size from 500 pounds to 900 pounds coming my way and all I had to do was open the correct gate to guide them to their place. Most of the steer were docile and the young man directing them did his best to guide them, but some of the steer were sensitive to the process and had an instinct to run away from the guided path. On occasion they came running straight towards me, with a look that can only be described as "A steer in the headlights", funny I'm sure that on their receiving end, I was looking at them like "A deer in the headlights". But this capable young man always ensured that the steer were managed.
This young man just graduated high school, he was raised by a single mom and in speaking with his AG teacher, he worked hard in the program to not only take responsibility for his animal, but whenever the teacher needed help if heading out of town, this was the young man they knew they could rely on to manage all of the animals in the facility. He also had an elderly grandparent who could no longer live independently and so he moved in with her to assist her when he wasn't at school or work.
I watched this man work, he was quiet , yet confident and followed direction as needed by the teacher. He worked hard in the hot sun and muggy , buggy weather without any complaint. He is very sharp and wants to be an engineer, so he is joining the Navy, because he does not want to burden his mother with the expense of college and loans. His goal is to train in the service and work towards his goal while serving our country. As the single mother of 3 fine young men, I will tell you that I am impressed with this hard working unassuming young man. I believe he represents the hope of our Nation, and this heritage from agriculture and livestock has been fertile ground and foundation for his future.


Most turkey hunting injuries happen when one hunter stalks another.Don't stalk turkeys! It doesn't work and it's dangerous.
Successful turkey hunters sit and call.
Assume any noise is made by a human.
Never wear turkey colors—red, blue, black or white.
Call only with a large tree at your back.
Drape an orange vest around a tree near your calling location so that other hunters know you're there.
Don't wave, whistle or make turkey or animal sounds to attract his or her attention.
Be sure of your target … and beyond!

Is there a FM or BAPI to delete TLB order at target node ...that is used by SAP standard at the time PO is 'closed' with the Goods Receipt posting.
Why is the Order being deleted?
Not sure of the full busines process you have to create TLB orders. But if u get Preqs or POs based on forecast would not letting both of them remain be a better way to net the reqirements?
Instead of standard CIF'ing of TLB order's we have used IDOCS to send TLB related data to the R/3.... when PO is created it is required to delete TLB order at target node to avoid duplicacy.... in standard process (CIF) it happens..but in our case we have to delete it using some BAPI our FM (but i'm unable to trace any).

That Rothschild clan in full: eccentricity, money, influence and scandal
Party boy: Nat Rothschild has shed his wild side to earn a fortune. Photo: Daily Mail
The Sunday Times | Oct 26, 2008
Nat Rothschild's career path – from playboy to plutocrat – has to be seen against the backdrop of his family history, studded as it is with eccentrics who were torn between loyalty to an immense and powerful name and the urge to break away from the clan.
His grandfather, Victor Rothschild, who died in 1990 at 79, set the pattern for much of the family in both business and lifestyle. While still at Cambridge University, he was a playboy who drove fast cars, water-skiied off Monte Carlo and played first-class cricket for Northamptonshire.
He also joined the Apostles, the university's secret society that included the traitors Kim Philby, Guy Burgess and Anthony Blunt. It was Victor who lent Blunt – later surveyor of the Queen's paintings – the money to buy his first Poussin. When Blunt's treachery was eventually exposed, Rothschild denied that he was the "Fifth Man" in the spy ring, famously stating: "I am not and never have been a Soviet agent." This was never seriously in doubt: his work for MI5 during the war had won him a George Medal.
Just 26 when he became the 3rd Baron Rothschild, he always sat on the Labour benches. Yet the Conservative prime minister Edward Heath put him in charge of his think tank, the Central Policy Review Staff, and Margaret Thatcher made him a security adviser.
As a scientist, Lord Rothschild chaired the Agricultural Research Council, then worked in Cambridge's zoology department as well as holding a research job at Shell. He ultimately chaired the family's UK bank, NM Rothschild & Sons, but did not involve himself in detail.
His sister Miriam, a distinguished entomologist, was nicknamed "Queen of the Fleas" after cataloguing their father's insect collection. Their younger sister Kathleen, meanwhile, was known as an avid jazz fan: Thelonius Monk named a composition after her and Charlie "Bird" Parker died in her New York flat.
When Victor Rothschild retired in 1976, Sir Evelyn de Rothschild – then 45 –took over as bank chairman, even though he came from another branch of the family, the de Rothschilds.
Sir Evelyn, who had joined the bank in his mid-twenties, had developed a sound business sense that he also employed on the boards of the Express and Telegraph newspaper groups, as well as at The Economist, whose board he chaired until 1989. His third wife, the American lawyer Lynn Forester, was a supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign but last month switched her allegiance to John McCain. She and Sir Evelyn live in Ascott House, one of the many Rothschild homes in Buckinghamshire. Katherine, the daughter of one of Sir Evelyn's Rothschild cousins, is married to Marcus Agius, chairman of Barclays.
Victor's eldest son, Jacob Rothschild, also worked at NM Rothschild – but he left the family bank in 1980 after a dispute with Sir Evelyn over strategy. Jacob, who had worked at Morgan Stanley in New York, wanted to merge with the rival SG Warburg bank; his conservative cousin did not.
As a leaving present, Jacob was given the Rothschild Investment Trust; he subsequently set up his own companies in the West End and built a new financial empire that was considered more aggressive than the traditional family bank.
Jacob, now 72, who inherited his father's title in 1990, is as interested in the arts as he is in finance: he has chaired the National Gallery for many years and was chairman of the lottery's heritage fund from 1994-8. In 2003, he became deputy chairman of BSkyB, the broadcaster in which News Corporation, the parent company of The Sunday Times, has a 39.1% stake. Known as a philanthropist and superb networker, Jacob has also taken a great interest in the preservation of fine buildings – he restored Spencer House in St James's, the former London home of the family of his friend Diana, Princess of Wales, and was instrumental in the refurbishment of Somerset House in central London.
Like most Rothschilds, he shuns the limelight – except on his own terms. He was appointed a member of the Order of Merit in 2002.
His much younger half-brother, Amschel Rothschild, was groomed to head the family bank, but the pressure proved too much for him. He hanged himself in a Paris hotel room in 1996, leaving a widow, the former Anita Guinness, and three children. Their elder daughter, Kate, is married to Ben Goldsmith, son of Sir James; the younger, Alice, has been linked to Ben's married brother Zac.
A distant cousin, Raphael de Rothschild, also died tragically four years after Amschel – in his case of a heroin overdose in New York.
The current head of the Rothschild banking empire is David de Rothschild, who was born in New York, to which his parents had fled from France when the Nazis seized their family home. Though the family returned to France, his father, Guy de Rothschild, was to flee again to America in high dudgeon when Banque Rothschild was nationalised by François Mitterrand in 1981.
David later obtained a banking licence for himself and eventually won the right to use the Rothschild name again. He now lives near the Normandy town of Pont-L'Eveque, where he served as mayor for 18 years. His properties include the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild vineyards.

Damn!!!


Christian advocacy has anchored my ministry, defined my role as an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, and led me to accept and experience God in richly unimaginable ways.
Thinking about being able to accept and experience God reminds me of Elmo and KiKi, a homeless couple who lived in an alley in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. One Sunday morning, Elmo, who sold stolen plastic cigarette lighters for spending change, lit a candle while KiKi prayed over a dog-eared Bible that neither of them could read but had deeply internalized the spirit of in their hearts. I asked them why they were outside after being invited to come to a nearby coffee house for a church service. "Why do you pray in the alley?" I asked.
"Cuz God knows us and we know Jesus, and that's all it takes. Ain't that right?" responded Elmo. KiKi added, "It just takes two."
Stunned, I stammered my affirmation. They had accepted and were experiencing a relationship with God. They understood that God was speaking to them. Like many clergy in pulpits and pastoral care settings that call for care outside the church walls, I walked away with yet another invaluable lesson gained from the so-called "least" of God's children—whose sanctuary is the streets, prisons, or other unconventional places. I learned that God moves in unexpected ways to reveal unimaginable truths. In places where we least expect it, God offers us opportunities for deliverance from our limitations, assumptions, and lack of awareness. And God does so while bringing us to greater clarity through shared connection.
Deliverance and connection are among the gifts God shares with, and promises to, Christians who stand in solidarity with the Elmos and Kikis of the world. Yet our simply being in solidarity with them is not enough to right the entrenched, systemic wrongs that besiege them. Christians are called by God to partner with and advocate for those who suffer. When we intentionally open to God's movement through us to challenge and mend the broken structures that precipitate endless despair, those structures and systems are opened to extensions of God's deep concern for all.
Christian advocacy is the act of witnessing to God's love while speaking truth to power. It's about our intent to be in solidarity with the movement of the Holy Spirit in our world. It invites us to be open, take faith-inspired risks, and be transformed through God's grace, while helping to mend our broken world. Christians who appeal to their members of Congress to protect funding for programs that serve poor people, for example, are includible advocates, who receive abundant spiritual gifts because of their commitment to poor people.
Effective advocacy, however, requires steadfast faithfulness to the Lord. For ultimately it is God's creatively-renewing Spirit moving in our time that prevails.
Throughout the Old Testament, God sees and hears the cries of poor and vulnerable people (Exodus 2:23-25, Isaiah 3:13-15). God delivers and acts (Exodus 12:31-13:16). The Psalms and Proverbs portray the Lord as upholding the cause of those who are oppressed and providing for hungry and poor people—people such as Elmo and KiKi (Psalm 146:5-9; Psalm 72; Proverbs 22).
Jesus came into the world in humble circumstances (Luke 2:7) to preach good news to poor people and to fulfill the scriptures from Isaiah that proclaim freedom for prisoners, sight for the blind, and the release of the oppressed (Luke 4:18-21).
As we follow Christ's example, we who are confined to indifference, ignorance, disdain, cynicism, or apathy are set upright to walk the path of wholeness. The blind are set free to see. All held captive are released.
When the faithful—especially those of us who are privileged—listen anew to the sounds of poor and oppressed people, when we walk in faith-filled solidarity with them—as two or more are open to the movement of the Holy Spirit—our openness intensifies our being in lockstep with God's intentions. We are connected anew. We are saved from the confinement of our hearts to back alley ways of inactivity. All are thrust into the rich byways of God's love. And this is good news, indeed!

Home / Publications / Genes and Ingenuity: Gene patenting and human health (ALRC Report 99) / 22. Licensing of Patent Rights / Education programs about licensing practices
Government initiatives
22.30 Chapters 17 and 18 discuss the programs that exist to support commercialisation of research by Australian entities, including programs directed specifically to the Australian biotechnology sector.[52] To date, the focus of government initiatives has been to provide support (including funding) to aid the commercial development of innovation in biotechnology research.
22.31 The National Biotechnology Strategy, released by the Australian Government in 2000, included as one of its overall objectives 'strengthening capabilities for the commercial and strategic management of Intellectual Property in biotechnology'.[53] Pursuant to this objective, Biotechnology Australia and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), among others, have published educational materials to promote understanding of intellectual property issues in biotechnology, including about how intellectual property rights in biotechnological inventions can be used and managed most effectively.[54]
22.32 In 2001, Biotechnology Australia released a manual providing a practical guide to the identification, protection and management of biotechnology-related intellectual property (Biotechnology IP Manual).[55] The manual is a resource for research organisations, companies and entities funding biotechnology research, to be used in conjunction with their existing intellectual property management policies and practices. The Biotechnology IP Manual includes a separate chapter on commercial exploitation of intellectual property, which addresses topics such as conducting due diligence, valuation of intellectual property, factors relevant to a decision whether to license patent rights, as well as common terms in patent licences and their significance.[56] Views expressed in a number of consultations indicated that the Biotechnology IP Manual is a very useful resource.[57]
22.33 DFAT has also published the Intellectual Property and Biotechnology: A Training Handbook (DFAT IP Handbook).[58] Its purpose is to provide an introduction to key intellectual property concepts, and an understanding of how they apply in practice.[59] The DFAT IP Handbook includes a section on licensing and enforcing intellectual property rights, which provides an overview of issues that Australian organisations may encounter in negotiating licences to gene patent rights.[60] The section outlines factors relevant to the decision to commercialise an invention and the various ways in which patent rights can be exploited. It also includes information relating to negotiating biotechnology licences—from conducting due diligence on a potential licence partner, to the type of provisions that commonly appear in patent licence agreements and the purpose of these provisions.
22.34 The Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources (DITR) informed the ALRC that Biotechnology Australia, in conjunction with certain patent attorney firms, has conducted intellectual property education programs—such as the Australian Biotechnology Intellectual Property Management Seminar Series.[61]
22.35 Organisations have been established to develop the commercial skill base of Australian entities, including those in the biotechnology sector. These organisations and the type of programs offered in this regard include the following.[62]
AusBiotech Ltd (AusBiotech) is the peak national industry body whose membership includes entities from all aspects of the Australian biotechnology sector.[63] AusBiotech provides its members with access to training and information resources,[64] and is also actively involved in government and industry initiatives relevant to the biotechnology sector.[65]
The Australian Institute for Commercialisation Ltd (AIC) offers programs to improve commercialisation of research in Australia.[66] These include the 'AIC Know-How' program, which focuses on courses for public and private sector organisations for the purpose of improving knowledge about technology commercialisation practices.[67]
The Licensing Executives Society (LES) is involved in activities related to licensing and other transfers of intellectual property,[68] including: educating members in licensing skills; monitoring licensing developments; and conducting research on issues related to domestic and foreign licensing.[69]
22.36 In addition, as discussed in Chapter 17, Knowledge Commercialisation Australia (KCA) represents Australian public sector organisations involved in technology transfer. It has organised a series of conferences on technology commercialisation.[70]
22.37 DP 68 proposed that Biotechnology Australia, in consultation with state and territory governments and other relevant stakeholders, should continue to develop and implement education programs to assist research organisations and biotechnology companies in licensing and commercialising inventions involving genetic materials and technologies.[71] Although a few consultations questioned whether Biotechnology Australia possesses adequate capacity and resources to implement education and training programs,[72] this proposal was generally supported.[73]
22.38 DITR, which is one of five member departments of Biotechnology Australia, strongly agreed with the proposal.[74] DITR indicated that Biotechnology Australia is engaged in programs to increase awareness of intellectual property management on an on-going basis: 'The government fully recognises that the more effective commercialisation of IP is vital for the growth of a dynamic biotechnology industry in Australia'.[75]
22.39 DITR observed that there were already some projects directed to improving industry awareness of intellectual property management and commercialisation, including the Biotechnology IP Manual and IP Australia's IP Toolbox.[76] Further, DITR commented that the Australian Government is also addressing other factors that affect the commercialisation of biotechnology in Australia; in particular, the difficulties biotechnology companies face in attracting venture capital funds.[77]
22.40 The results of the Nicol–Nielsen Study, and submissions to the ALRC's Inquiry, suggest that restrictive licensing of gene patents is not currently pervasive in the Australian biotechnology industry. Further, as outlined in other chapters of this Report, no significant adverse impact on genetic research, commercialisation, or the healthcare system has been demonstrated at this stage. In light of this, the ALRC is not inclined to make recommendations aimed specifically at regulating gene patent licensing practices, or prohibiting certain types of licensing arrangements.
22.41 However, there is evidence to suggest that some participants in the Australian biotechnology sector find the negotiation of patent licences to be problematic. These difficulties stem from a variety of causes, including lack of commercial experience in licensing patents, the unequal bargaining power of the parties, and inadequate resources to commit to extended licence negotiations.[78] In addition, the increasing complexity of the Australian patent landscape may make it difficult to identify relevant patents and negotiate licences.
22.42 An effective way to address these matters is to assist Australian entities in developing commercial skills and negotiation skills by enhancing education programs about the licensing of inventions involving genetic materials and technologies. Biotechnology Australia, in conjunction with its member departments, would be an appropriate body to coordinate the development of such programs, in collaboration with state and territory governments, peak national bodies with an interest in the licensing and commercialisation of intellectual property—such as AusBiotech, AIC, LES and KCA—and other relevant stakeholders.
22.43 Education programs about patent licensing would expand upon projects already undertaken by Biotechnology Australia and federal, state and territory departments to assist Australian entities in commercialising the results of biotechnology research. Education programs for research organisations and biotechnology companies would also complement initiatives recommended in Chapters 17 and 18 to assist research organisations and biotechnology companies in commercialising inventions involving genetic materials and technologies (see Recommendations 17–1 and 18–1).
22.44 The proposed education programs should address issues such as: structuring deals aimed at the licensing of inventions involving genetic materials and technologies; alternative mechanisms by which rights to a patent may be obtained by a third party (such as a patent assignment) and when these mechanisms might be preferable to licensing patent rights; common terms in gene patent licences; typical licensing practices; and negotiation strategies for gene patent holders and licensees of gene patent rights. The programs should also address other issues relevant to the licensing and enforcement of patent rights, including patent litigation insurance.[79]
Recommendation 22–1 Biotechnology Australia, in conjunction with its member departments, should develop and implement programs to assist research organisations and biotechnology companies in licensing and commercialising inventions involving genetic materials and technologies. The programs should be developed in collaboration with state and territory governments, peak national bodies with an interest in licensing and commercialisation of intellectual property, and other relevant stakeholders.

Q: Check folder and files permission via T-SQL I want to check all the files and folders permissions in T-SQL.
For example:

*

*Folder name: Root

*Items inside the root are File1, file2, folder1
I want the list of users who has permission for these files and folders in T-SQL.

A: To answer your question; yes it can; however that'll require you to open up permissions that are so awful I'll not tell you how.
If you absolutely must do this then creating an External Access assembly using .Net and calling that is your answer. If you traverse this road then do NOT go the 'Trustworthy' route and bypass security. Create a asymmetric key and a user and sign your code accordingly.

A: Although NOT recommended, but you can use xp_cmdshell to query underlying OS/file-system from within SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio).
If you need to check if a folder/UCN-path is accessible from within SSMS, place a small database-backup file (.bak) there then use FILELISTONLY restore to simply read it, e.g.:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = '\\folder_to_check\db.bak'   --this will only read the file (without performing the Restore operation.

If above succeeds in reading the .bak file from your <folder_to_check> folder - it means the folder in question is accessible (via T-SQL / from within SSMS).
If not, grant access (such as READ/WRITE access on that folder) to the service account that executes your SQL-instance, which normally is a local system account or an AD-Service account.
To obtain this Service account's name, view Properties of SQL Server service in "Windows Services" (services.msc) or "SQL Server Configuration Manager" (SQLServerManager<your_SQLServer_Version_number>.msc) alternatively you can run following query:
select * from sys.dm_server_services  --This will list the Accounts-Names that execute SQL Server Instance/engine service & SQL Agent service, and Full-Text Search services etc.

Being Black Friday I guess there are all sorts of deals as there always are. Not looking to spend much money, but picked up a Roku Ultra from Amazon today. $49.99...usually $99.99.
I've had Roku devices for years and the old Roku 2 in the bedroom is starting to get awfully slow when accessing certain channels with some channels even throwing up a "this channel would work better with a newer Roku" message.
Plan to hook the Ultra up to the living room big screen and move the old Roku 3 from the living room to the bedroom to replace the old Roku 2.
I went to my local store today and found Ash Vs the Evil Dead for ten bucks. Pretty good deal considering the regular price is thirty bucks.
Hulu is offering their "limited commercial" package for just 99 cents per month for twelve months for the next three hours. It is normally $7.99, so this is a pretty good deal. The deal is only available to new subscribers, but my wife and I already had it so we just cancelled our membership and opened a new one with a different email address and it worked fine.
It feels like I got one over on the man. I highly suggest giving that a shot if you are so inclined.
Great deal. I personally rarely watch anything via Hulu, but when I canceled it about a year ago I found out my wife used Hulu a lot. Found out we get free Hulu (limited commercial version) due to having Sprint as our cell phone provider. Had to jump through a few hoops- had to re-sub using phone with wifi turned off- but we now get Hulu (with limited commercials) for free (well, free except for our cell phone bill).
Hulu is a pretty decent source of anime and Adventure Time, so there's no way I can extract myself any time soon. My captors would never allow it.
Target gift cards are available for 10% off for the rest of today. The per person limit is $300. I go there regularly, so it seemed a logical decision to max myself out.
I wish I had heard about this earlier.
Yeah, the man is definitely laughing at you. Sorry.
WeTek Hub currently selling for under $50 on Amazon. Great media player if you're willing to overwrite the crappy Android TV OS that it comes with with LibreELEC. Not top of the line specs for a media player, but LbreELEC doesn't need a lot of resources and the WeTek Hub has better specs than the Rasberry Pi that a lot of people use for LibreElec. Biggest downside is only 1 USB port, but that can be fixed with a USB hub.


Southern Utah University wants to establish a maintenance training school and has asked the FAA for an exemption from its curriculum and seat-time requirements.
Southern Utah University proposes a new approach in which the curriculum is built on emerging Airman Certification Standards.
Southern Utah University (SUU) wants to create an aviation maintenance training program. Employers in the area are supporting the effort and have donated equipment and resources to get the project off the ground. School officials and accreditors plan to include the mechanic coursework as part of a larger degree program so students can earn credit toward an associate's degree.
The biggest barrier to SUU building its envisioned program is the FAA-mandated curriculum. Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 147 governs aviation maintenance technician school (AMTS) airframe and powerplant (A&P) programs. Its subject area mandates have not changed substantially since 1962.
Instead of compromising its degree-program vision, SUU did something no other school has done: The university asked the FAA for an exemption from its curriculum and seat-time requirements.
SUU proposes a new approach in which the curriculum is built around emerging Airman Certification Standards (ACS). The new testing standard is a product of an FAA-industry working group and based on years of input from industry, educators and government officials. The framework covers the knowledge and skills required of an A&P mechanic and, starting in 2020, is planned to govern written, oral and practical mechanic exams.
If the agency accepts working group recommendations—and provides anticipated relief from current curriculum requirements through promulgation of a new Part 147—the ACS will provide a vehicle to modernize AMTS curricula across the nation.
The university's desire to put more emphasis on helicopter maintenance illustrates the rigidness of current AMTS curriculum requirements. A report commissioned by the Helicopter Association International estimates industry will be short 40,613 certificated mechanics by 2036. And, Helicopter Foundation International Vice President Allison McKay contends the pipeline of certificated mechanics is insufficient since A&P programs offer very little rotorcraft-specific coursework.
While schools may incorporate subject areas beyond those dictated in the Part 147 curriculum, its 1,900-hr. seat-time mandate leaves little wriggle room since the majority of A&P programs offer an 18-month certificate or two-year associate's degree.
So while SUU could teach over and beyond what is required in the current Part 147, the university prefers to remove the mandates to include outdated technical areas that the university argues are a waste of time and resources.
Nineteen companies, individuals and trade groups—including the Aeronautical Repair Station Association, Aviation Technician Education Council and Utah Governor's office—commented on SUU's petition for exemption.

The two companies also announced that Bechtel Enterprises, the project development and financing arm of the Bechtel organization, will become an equity investor in all of the Ivanpah solar power plants.
Under the terms of a series of EPC agreements, Bechtel will provide EPC services for the Ivanpah System – a 440-megawatt solar power facility consisting of three separate solar thermal power plants in southeastern California. The power generated from these solar plants will be sold under separate contracts established by BrightSource Energy with Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and Southern California Edison (SCE). BrightSource's contracts with PG&E and SCE total 2.6 gigawatts.
BrightSource estimates that the Ivanpah facility will result in approximately 1,000 jobs at the peak of construction, 86 permanent jobs,* and total economic benefits of $3 billion. The plants will also displace more than 450,000 tons (408,000 metric tonnes) of CO2 annually, which is the equivalent of taking more than 75,000 cars off the road.
The Ivanpah facility is scheduled to begin construction in early 2010 following final permitting by the California Energy Commission and the Bureau of Land Management. In December 2008, BrightSource signed an agreement with Siemens for the largest ever solar-powered steam turbine generator for the first of the Ivanpah projects.
The Ivanpah facility will utilize BrightSource Energy's proven Luz Power Tower 550 technology (LPT 550). The system produces electricity the same way as traditional power plants – by creating high temperature steam to turn a turbine. However, instead of using fossil fuels or nuclear power to create the steam, BrightSource uses thousands of mirrors called heliostats to re-flect sunlight onto a boiler filled with water that sits atop a tower. When the sunlight hits the boiler, the water inside is heated and creates high temperature steam. The steam is then piped to a conventional tur¬bine which generates electricity. This fully integrated system takes advantage of high operating efficiencies and low capital costs to provide reliable and low-cost carbon-free energy.
The system is also designed to minimize the solar plant's environmental impact, reducing the need for extensive land grading and concrete pads. In order to conserve precious desert water, the LPT 550 system uses air-cooling to convert the steam back into water, resulting in a 90 percent reduction in water usage compared to conventional wet-cooling. The water is then returned to the boiler in an environmentally-friendly closed system.
Today the company's LPT 550 solar system is employed at the Solar Energy Development Center (SEDC) in Israel's Negev Desert. Operating over the past year, the SEDC is producing the world's highest temperature turbine quality steam from solar energy.
For its technological leadership, BrightSource was selected as a 2009 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. The only solar company to win this year's prestigious award, BrightSource Energy was recognized for helping global utility and industrial customers reduce their dependence on fossil fuels by providing clean, low-cost and reliable solar energy.
BrightSource Energy, Inc. provides clean, reliable and low cost solar energy for utility and industrial companies worldwide. The BrightSource Energy team combines nearly three decades of experience designing, building and operating the world's largest solar energy plants with world-class project development capabilities. The company now has contracted to sell more than 2.6 gigawatts of power to be generated using its proprietary solar thermal technology. BrightSource Energy's solar plants are designed to minimize their impact on the environment and help customers reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Headquartered in Oakland, Calif., BrightSource Energy is a privately held company with operations in the United States and Israel.

Belison (), officially the Municipality of Belison (, ; ; ), is a 5th class municipality in the province of Antique, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 14,129 people. Making it 18th most populous, the smallest municipality in the province of Antique and the smallest in Panay island in both area and population.

Belison is the smallest (in area and population) and the youngest municipality in the province of Antique.

History
Belison () was merely a barangay in the larger municipality of Patnongon, adjacent to the north. Belison barangay leaders and Manila-based s (; 'Belison residents') mapped out a petition requesting the national government to make Belison an independent town. The petition was brought to Malacañan Palace on March 10, 1961, and through Presidential Executive Order No. 421 signed by President Carlos P. Garcia, Belison was declared a municipality - the smallest and the youngest in the Province of Antique.

During World War II, Japanese war submarines and other marine craft found the shores of Belison easy entry points to Panay, and invaded the Western Visayas in that location. People still tell of the fear created by these foreign intruders, and also of the bravery of those who decided to resist, creating rebel strongholds in the mountainous areas above the municipality.

When the Japanese air raids would bomb Belison and the nearby communities, families from all around fled to Guinobatan Cave, high in the hills of barangay Buenavista. And when the American forces came, they too used the smooth sea landing in Belison, bringing relief food supplies to s, and troops to attack the Japanese occupying forces. They often used local homes in the area to hide in while planning their strategies for assault against the enemy, and enlisted the help of brave men and women to carry out their plans.

Geography
Belison is  from the provincial capital, San Jose de Buenavista.

According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of  constituting  of the  total area of Antique.

The municipality is bounded on the east by San Remigio, southeast by Sibalom, south by San Jose de Buenavista, north by Patnongon, and west by the Cuyo East Pass.

Climate

Barangays
Belison is politically subdivided into 11 barangays, each with a duly constituted government unit known as the barangay council headed by the barangay captain. The Poblacion, seat of the municipal government, is an urban barangay. The other 10 are considered rural.

Demographics

In the 2020 census, Belison had a population of 14,129. The population density was .

Religion
Nine (9) of the leading Christian religious dominations in the Philippines established their presence in the town. Most s are of Aglipayan ancestry.
 Aglipayan or the members of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (Parish of Our Lady of Purity & Candles) have a church along Delima Street.
 Roman Catholics, there is the Lady of Candles Parish located along Oliverio Street.
 Seventh-day Adventist Church located along Placer Street.
 Iglesia ni Cristo has two locales, one in Candelaria Street, Poblacion and another in National Road, Barangay Rombang.
 Assembly of God located along Candelaria Street.
 Belison Baptist Church located along Rizal Street.
 Born Again Church located in Barangay Maradiona.
 United Pentecostal Church is located along National Road (Barangay Poblacion).
 Victory Christian Church is located along Bajalan-Lancara Street.

Economy

Agriculture continues to be the heartbeat of the town. More than half of its land is riceland, while the rest are planted to corn, coconut, sugar cane and other production like vegetables and peanuts.

Government

Municipal seal
The Belison municipal seal was created to commemorate the agricultural heritage of the town, in order to preserve the legacy of the original settlers in the region. It depicts three mainstay agricultural activities:
 The top image represents fishing and the bounties of the neighboring sea.
 The lower left portion is the harvesting of sugar cane, its processing muscovado sugar.
 The lower right depicts tilling of the lowlands for the planting of rice and other grains and vegetables.

Surrounding the great triangle are eleven stars – one representing each barangay in the town.  The largest star at the bottom is for the Poblacion. Their strength lies in their connectivity to one another, and in their closeness to the traditions of the past.

Myocardial injury, defined by elevated troponin levels, is associated with adverse outcome in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The frequency of cardiac injury remains highly uncertain and confounded in current publications; myocarditis is one of several mechanisms that have been proposed.
We prospectively assessed patients with myocardial injury hospitalized for COVID-19 using transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and endomyocardial biopsy.
Eighteen patients with COVID-19 and myocardial injury were included in this study. Echocardiography revealed normal to mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction of 52.5% (46.5%-60.5%) but moderately to severely reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain of -11.2% (-7.6% to -15.1%). Cardiac magnetic resonance showed any myocardial tissue injury defined by elevated T1, extracellular volume, or late gadolinium enhancement with a nonischemic pattern in 16 patients (83.3%). Seven patients (38.9%) demonstrated myocardial edema in addition to tissue injury fulfilling the Lake-Louise criteria for myocarditis. Combining cardiac magnetic resonance with speckle tracking echocardiography demonstrated functional or morphological cardiac changes in 100% of investigated patients. Endomyocardial biopsy was conducted in 5 patients and revealed enhanced macrophage numbers in all 5 patients in addition to lymphocytic myocarditis in 1 patient. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was not detected in any biopsy by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Finally, follow-up measurements of left ventricular global longitudinal strain revealed significant improvement after a median of 52.0 days (-11.2% [-9.2% to -14.7%] versus -15.6% [-12.5% to -19.6%] at follow-up; P=0.041).
In this small cohort of COVID-19 patients with elevated troponin levels, myocardial injury was evidenced by reduced echocardiographic left ventricular strain, myocarditis patterns on cardiac magnetic resonance, and enhanced macrophage numbers but not predominantly lymphocytic myocarditis in endomyocardial biopsies.

Shying from the much-digested notion of heritage jeans, Mother is a play on opposites. A study in irony, it feels soft and nurturing, while presenting itself as stark and sexy. The term winks at the double entendres of what is, arguably, the second most powerful word in the English language…
Our idea was to create a brand that captured the excitement of our own newfangled denims. We are able to add a new element to the way people wear jeans in fit fabric finish and now feel.
