Bone-like metal improving joint-replacement outcomes
HindustanTimes
Implants made from Trabecular Metal, a special bone-like metal with high-fixation and weight-bearing capacity, are changing the face of joint-replacement surgeries in India.
"It is closest to the natural bone in terms of flexibility and load-bearing capacity," said Dr Ashok
Rajgopal, chairman, Bone and Joint Institute at Gurgaon's Medanta Hospital, at the launch of the TM implant for hip joint in the 6th Joint Replacement State of the Art Conference in Panaji, Goa .
"It's a cement-less option where bone grows into the implant within merely six to eight weeks after the surgery. Earlier, it would take up to six months or may not grow at all," he added.
"It's technically more advanced as the coating at the back helps the implant fix well," said Sean F O'Hara, managing director, Zimmer (Shanghai) medical international trading co. Ltd., the manufacturerers of the implant.
Three people have received TM implants for hip replacement in India - one at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and two in Medanta. For knee replacement surgeries in India, the metal has been used successfully for almost four years.
Options such as this one benefits patients needing bone grafts as India's only bone bank at AIIMS has received only 32 cadaver bone donations since 2001.
"Apart from longer shelf life, there are also less infection issues and failure rates with the metal," said Dr Suri Narayanan, senior orthopaedician, Chennai's Apollo Hospital.
"It is proving to be a boon for a section of patients. We have nearly stopped using allograft (transplant of tissue from one individual to another of the same species with a different genotype) for sockets because there are hardly any available, but for the thigh bone we still don't have an option," said Dr Rajesh Malhotra, professor, department of orthopaedics, AIIMS.
However, this wonder metal cannot be used for all patients. "It is not something that everybody would use on everybody, but it's a great bailout option for patients who are on the verge of losing the bone and young patients in whom we would otherwise prefer delaying revision surgery," added Dr Narayanan. Since most people in India seek treatment at a late stage when the joint or bone has degenerated and there are not too many options left to save it.
Severe arthritis, hip fractures, tuberculosis, steroid and heavy alcohol consumption leads to rapid bone loss and are common reasons for joint replacement surgeries.

The Curly Hair Shampoo also gives my hair a good amount of volume. I'm long overdue for a trim, and the longer my hair gets, the more the weight of it pulls down volume at the roots, but the Curly Hair Shampoo adds back a surprising amount of bounce and volume. I haven't had a Philip Adams conditioner to use with the shampoo (although the matching Thirsty Hair Conditioner may just be my next purchase!), so I've played around with a couple different ones that were already in my shower, and no matter what I pair the shampoo with, I consistently end up with defined and bouncy curls, minimal frizz and flyaways, and really excellent volume.
The shampoo also smells fantastic. Made with two of my favorite essential oils, peppermint and eucalyptus, the scent is bright, fresh and minty. I don't notice any fragrance lingering on my hair once the shampoo is rinsed out, but I thoroughly enjoy it while I'm using the product.
The Curly Hair Shampoo is a fantastic product for curly hair. It smells great, lathers well, cleanses thoroughly, and does a fantastic job volumizing and defining curls.

Our book fair last week was a grand success! We sold $3332.35 worth of books and fun stuff. That translates into $250 worth of books from the fair for the library, plus almost $800 to spend on other books. I have a list of requests, so keep them coming and I will keep shopping!
I am working as fast as I can to get the stacks of books stamped, stickered, and ready to sign out. Everyone was excited to see and borrow the new books today! Some very popular ones were the latest Squish book (Number 6, Fear the Amoeba), two Lulu books by Judith Viorst, the Poison Apple series, and the latest Explorer collection (The Mystery Boxes). Check back next week for more new books hitting the shelf!
Well, the Book Fair is finished for the fall. It will be coming back in the late spring. We had tremendous support from both the parents and students at Confed. I'm still figuring out how much money we actually made–but it looks good! I'll let you know how I plan on spending it as soon as I know exactly what we made!

The 93rdISDE in Vina Del Mar, Chile has come to an end, and after six days of dusty tests and miles of transfer, Team USA would finish a respectable second place in each trophy division.
The sixth day consisted of a motocross track built on a beach next to the Pacific Ocean. Australia's world trophy team came into the last day with a sizable lead and would only have to finish the motos to claim the Chamberlain Cup. USA's Taylor Robert went into his final moto a fan favorite but would collide with another rider on the first lap. He mounted a charge and worked his way back through the field to finish ninth in the moto and claimed the E2 class overall. Teammate Steward Baylor would finish right behind Taylor and would finish second overall in E2. Ryan Sipe's chase came up short in the E1 moto where he would finish second behind Italy's Davide Guarneri and fourth overall. In the E3 moto USA's Zach bell would dominate after getting the lead on the second lap. Zack would end up in tenth overall in his class.
After six days of racing Australia's Daniel Milner would take the individual overall over USA's Taylor Robert. They would battle for test wins throughout all five days but Milner took control on day three and never looked back. Milner would also take the E3 class win as well.
After six days of battling USA's Junior Trophy team would finish second behind Italy. USA's Josh Toth would head into his final E1 moto and finish an impressive fourth place after a mid-pack start. Josh ended up fifth place overall, which would be a career best ISDE class finish. Ben Kelley finished the week out strong with a 12thplace moto finish and would claim 11thoverall in E2, this would be a career best ISDE for Ben. Grant Baylor started out the week strong leading the junior overall but mid-week Italy's Andrea Verona would take the lead. In the final moto Grant had a small crash that set him back, Grant was able to make his way back up to 13th place and eighth place overall in E2.
Going into day six USA's Brandy Richards was looking to continue on her performance from the previous day. When the gate dropped Brandy would quickly move into the lead, the next couple laps Brandy would find herself on the ground twice, ultimately finishing the moto in third place. The USA Woman's Trophy team would finish out the week in second place behind six time champs Australia.


Dolphin Reef is one of the most famous divesite because of it's dolphins and walls. This is a horseshoe-shaped reef found in the Red Sea. It lies in open water to the northeast of Ras Banas. The eastern side has a steeply sloping wall profile, giving way to a sandy slope. Many species of fish can be found in the area. Angelfish, Butterflyfish, Cuttlefish, bluespotted and blackspotted stingrays are common. Several types of sharks are also frequently spotted, and there are regular reports of dolphins along the reef or inside the lagoon.
Napoleon fish, waiting for morsels of food, are parked under the boats anchored on the left side of the reef. They are used to the presence of divers and boldly swim among them.
In the mornings we can see schools of dolphins inside the lagoon. Getting closer to them can be a bit tricky and since they are resting this time of the day, we usually just watch them from the boat, but sometimes you can scuba dive with the dolphins.

Delhi will not stop plasma therapy trials: Arvind Kejriwal on Centre's warning
Prashasti Awasthi Mumbai | Updated on May 01, 2020 Published on May 01, 2020
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal - PTI
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said that Delhi will not stop plasma therapy trials to combat the coronavirus in the national capital. He said that the "initial results of the trials have been promising," NDTV reported.
Kejriwal's statement comes days after Lav Agarwal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said that the Centre had not approved the use of plasma therapy for treating or as a definitive cure for Covid-19 patients.
"This is not a proven therapy. It is currently in experimental stages. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is initiating a pan-India study to understand the efficacy of this therapy. Till the time it is approved, no one should use it, and it will also be considered illegal," Agarwal had stated on April 28.
Use of plasma therapy illegal: Centre
Delhi reported its first plasma success story last week when a 49-year-old patient, who was in the ventilator, recovered from the infectious virus.
"We had got permission from the Centre to conduct plasma trials in the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital. The first patient to have recovered has been discharged; he was very serious. Initial results are promising," the Delhi Chief Minister said this afternoon during a video conference.
So far, the national capital has reported more than 3,500 COVID-19 cases, including 59 deaths, the third-highest in the country.
Kejriwal today clarified that the trials will still be on and said: "A few days back, the central government had made some remarks (about the use of the therapy) and people reached out to me with their concerns. The government had just said that those who have the approval, only they can conduct trials. The therapy is in the trial stage, and we agree to that. While initial results are positive, we hope this will further help us in the COVID-19 fight."
"Many people asked me if Delhi is discontinuing the trials. No, we are not. All 1,100 who have recovered in the national capital are willing to donate plasma. I am highly grateful to all these patients," he added.
On Tuesday, the central government had said that plasma therapy for coronavirus is still in an experimental stage and can even prove "life-threatening" for a patient.
"The therapy is still in an experimental stage, and the Indian Council of Medical Research is conducting a national study on it. It can even be life-threatening if not carefully done," senior health ministry official Lav Agarwal had said.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra reported the first death of the Covid-19 patient who underwent treatment using plasma therapy at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital on Wednesday night. The 53-year-old patient was in critical condition and was kept under ventilator support.
The patient had not tested negative for the coronavirus, and had not shown any improvements in his condition since the therapy was administered four days ago, reported the Times of India.

Last Night in Rozzie
Reliving one's childhood is no walk in the park.
(2021) Drama (Gravitas) Neil Brown Jr., Nicky Whelan, Jeremy Sisto, Kevin Chapman, James DeFillippi, Greyson Cage, Ryan Canale, Maureen Keller, Paris Scott Allen, Jimmy Dunn, Mariela Hill, Ryan McDonough, Cameron Hubbard, Paul Taft, Drew DeSimone, Mary Kate McDonald. Directed by Sean Gannet
Childhood scars us. It's just a matter of degree. The simple truth is, idyllic childhoods are rare. We are beset by things that shape us, not always for the better – bad parental decisions, traumas, even terrors of our own making. They remain with us, and over time we continue to pay for them. If that sounds bleak, it's not meant to, but for some, we continue to be trapped by our past.
Ronnie Russo (Brown) is a successful corporate New York lawyer working on a complicated deal for his firm. He is right in the most critical phase of it when he gets a call from an old friend – Joey Donovan (Sisto) who isn't doing very well. He's back in Boston, in Roslindale (the titular "Rozzie") where they both grew up. And he's dying of liver cancer. You can tell by the steady stream of phlegm-caked coughs.
So Ronnie drops everything ad drives up the coast to Rozzie. It turns out his old buddy has one last request – to meet his son JJ (DeFillippi), whom he hasn't seen since the boy was an infant. As it turns out, Joey was married once upon a time to Pattie Barry (Whelan), who happened to be Ronnie's boyhood crush, one he was too shy to do anything about. The two had a bitter break-up and Pattie has refused to let her son have any contact with his father – or so Joey says. Joey isn't the most dependable source of information.
So Ronnie, despite being under the gun with work pressures, decides to work a convoluted plan to win Pattie's trust and get JJ to see his father before it's too late. But there are secrets between the three of them, and secrets have a way of coming out…
Although McDonough grew up in Roslindale, the movie doesn't really give us a sense of the place. It feels pretty much like any other suburb, with old houses, ballfields, and what have you. None of the characters here speak with a Boston accent which makes it further less believable.
The writing choices are a bit strange. Instead of coming out and telling Pattie the truth – which would have made this a ten minute short – we are treated to the most time-consuming and unrealistic plan imaginable, which involve lies that anyone with the sense of a seven-year-old could see through. There is also a reunion with Ronnie's mom (Keller) which is staged awkwardly and feels like filler.
But to be fair, the ending is killer and the best part of the movie occurs in the last ten to fifteen minutes. Fortunately, it's a pretty short movie so you only have to sit through about an hour of less memorable material to get to the good part, but that's still an hour you're never going to get back and I'm not sure that the last fifteen minutes, good as they are, make up for the time beforehand. Personally, I don't think so.
REASONS TO SEE: I'm always up to see Sisto perform, even if he is under-utilized.
REASONS TO AVOID: Lacks heat and passion.
FAMILY VALUES: There is profanity and some violence.
TRIVIAL PURSUITS: This is based on a short film that Gannet previously made with McDonough, who also wrote and produced this one.

The Wedding Ringer
Posted on February 7, 2015 by carlosdev
A dance-off Derek Zoolander would envy.
(2014) Comedy (Screen Gems) Kevin Hart, Josh Gad, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, Jorge Garcia, Ken Howard, Cloris Leachman, Affion Crockett, Dan Gill, Corey Holcomb, Colin Kane, Jenifer Lewis, Alan Ritchson, Mimi Rogers, Aaron Takahashi, Olivia Thirlby, Whitney Cummings, Ignacio Serricchio, Nicky Whelan, Patrick Carlyle, GloZell Green. Directed by Jeremy Garelick
Weddings are meant to be rituals in which two separate people are formalized as a wedded couple. It is meant to be a celebration and a solemn step – a pledge of troth between two people til death do them part, although that aspect is a little less usual these days. Nonetheless, it is meant to be a major life-changing moment, one worthy of respect. It's not supposed to be the source of the kind of stress that the modern wedding creates.
And yet we still spend small fortunes to give our little princesses their moment in the sun. The role of the groom is to shut up, be supportive and not to get frustrated when his bride-to-be is fretting over the smallest, most insignificant detail in order to make the day absolutely perfect, her Dream Wedding, the one she has been planning since she was a little princess getting glitter blown on her at the Bippity-Boppity Boutique at Disney World.
Doug Harris (Gad) is that groom. Basically a good-natured, decent fellow, he has been so hung up on making a career that he scarcely had time to date, much less develop the bonds of friendship with other guys. So when a supermodel-beautiful Gretchen Palmer (Cuoco-Sweeting) agrees to go out with him, he is surprised. When she agrees to marry him, he is shocked – but thrilled.
Now she's planning the Wedding of the Century, one that would make British royalty green with jealousy. Even the salad dressing must be just right. So wedding planner Edmundo (Serricchio) needs the info on the seven groomsmen including the Best Man for the programs, Doug has been putting him off – mainly because he doesn't have a best man, much less seven groomsmen.
Getting a tip from Edmundo, Doug visits Jimmy Callahan (Hart). This enterprising young charmer has made a lucrative business off of the issues of men just like Doug – men getting married without the support system that most brides develop over the years. He masquerades as best man for a price, providing groomsmen and whatever the groom needs to look irresistible to his new bride, sealing the deal on the wedding night.
However, seven groomsmen is a tall order, especially with the wedding date just ten days away. "What you're talking about is what we joke about," he tells Doug. There's even a name for it; the Golden Tux. It doesn't appear on any brochure because it's never been done. Nonetheless, true love must win out, so Jimmy agrees to help Doug out – for a fee, with the understanding that he's not buying a friend but renting a best man.
Newly christened Bic Mitchum – mainly so Kevin Hart can say "Bic Bic Bic Bic Bic" during the film – the CEO of Best Man Inc. sets out to find seven groomsmen in a hurry. Because of the time crunch, Jimmy – I mean, Bic – has to take what he can get rather than get the best. His motley crew are as Doug himself best described them; "It's as if the Goonies grew up and became rapists."
With Gretchen and her younger sister Alison (Thirlby) getting a little suspicious of the best man and the groomsmen, meeting the family including Gretchen's imposing dad (Howard) and patrician grandmother (Leachman) is more than a little formidable, particularly when it turns out that Bic is supposed to be a priest – army chaplain to be exact – gets worse when Doug in a moment of panic nearly creates grandma flambé but nonetheless Jimmy seems to be pulling it off, but now the issue is that Jimmy and Doug are actually taking a liking to one another, and Jimmy is taking a liking to Alison too. Still, coordinating all this takes a massive set, and a lot of luck. Will Jimmy get Doug to the altar on time?
Hart has been particularly hot of late and his cinematic winning streak doesn't look like it's going to end here. While the movie isn't the runaway success that Ride Along was, it's still doing decent enough box office and should make enough to make a tidy profit with a relatively low production cost behind it. If there's a good reason this movie is successful, it will be Hart who is rapidly moving into the Will Smith role of engaging and likable leading man while also taking the Chris Rock mantle of edgy comedian. That's a very difficult tightrope act to manage but Hart makes it look easy.
Gad is starting to show up on the radar of big budget Hollywood producers, having made a name for himself as the voice of Olaf in Frozen and appearances in Wish I Was Here and the upcoming Pixels. He is ostensibly the straight man but he has an impeccable comic timing and he gets a few moments of his own, but this is definitely the Kevin Hart show in many ways and Gad wisely lets the comic take center stage and makes quite the second banana.
Some critics have complained about the portrayal of women as conniving Bridezillas but guys, this is about one bride, not all brides. Let's not let our liberal guilt get in the way of a good time. Frankly there are some pretty good comic moments and I was adequately entertained throughout. which is gold when your movie comes out in January. If you go in expecting to have a game-changing comedy that is going to change the face of the medium, you're going to be sorely disappointed. However if you go in expecting a sweet-natured movie that will be occasionally inappropriate but generally funny throughout, you might actually enjoy this. Sometimes it pays to have low expectations because when you get a movie that is this good, it's like a grand slam from a career .150 hitter in the bottom of the ninth in the seventh game of the World Series.
REASONS TO GO: Nice chemistry between Hart and Gad.
REASONS TO STAY: A little bit predictable. Occasionally crass and bro-centric.
FAMILY VALUES: A whole lot of foul language, some sexual references as well as crude sexuality, brief drug use and some nudity.
TRIVIAL PURSUIT: This was originally meant to be starring vehicle for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.
CRITICAL MASS: As of 2/7/15: Rotten Tomatoes: 33% positive reviews. Metacritic: 35/100.

Terrine de Campagne, a coarse country style pâté with nutmeg.
A coarse pork pâté, containing fresh pork liver & fresh pork with added dried apricots and seasoned with nutmeg. This is reminiscent of the best French farmhouse terrines, all you need is crusty bread to serve, delicious!
It is hard to give a detailed review when I only got a sliver of it as my mum and husband fell on it and devoured 99% at a single lunch, accompanied with fresh crusty bread and cornichons they obviously rated it highly!


The market was 500 trades away from Armageddon on Thursday, September 18. 2008.
Had the Treasury and Fed not quickly stepped in with a quick $105 billion injection of liquidity, the Dow could have collapsed to the 8,300-level – a 22 percent decline!
The Fed's dramatic $105 billion liquidity injection on Thursday (pre-market) was just enough to keep key institutional accounts from following through on the sell orders and starting a stampede of cash that could have major sectors of the US economy to a halt.

Frank Lampard could be sacked if Chelsea lose to Leicester City today
Why Timo Werner snubbed Solskjaer & Guardiola to join Frank Lampard's side
JB 5 months ago
Chelsea striker Timo Werner reportedly turned down both Manchester City and Manchester United in order to sign for Frank Lampard's side.
The German forward completed a £48m transfer to Stamford Bridge which is worth around £170,000-per-week in June.
For several months, it seemed as though the Premier League champions would swoop in to sign the RB Leipzig striker after Jurgen Klopp spoke about him.
Yet the financial implications of coronavirus pandemic effectively derailed Liverpool's chances to sign the 24-year-old.
According to Bild, Liverpool were not the only side interested in signing Werner from under Chelsea's noses. Solskjaer is reported to have met the player in Berlin in an attempt to bring him to United.
And Pep Guardiola is said to have personally tried to persuade Werner to join – only to be rebuffed.
Lampard and Petr Cech were reportedly at the heart of the negotiations for Chelsea, with Werner certain he wanted a move to west London after speaking to the blues boss.

In fact, Werner revealed that Lampard was the main reason he chose Chelsea over other teams in the Premier League.
"He [Lampard] was the main point," Werner said. "We talked a lot about things like the system, how he wants to play and sees me playing, and how the system fits me.
"He is a really nice guy who not only told me what he wants from me as a player because he wants to help me as a guy.
"He knows me now a little bit better and it fits very well between us and now I am happy to be here."

Peter Warlock wrote CAPRIOL a suite for piano duet and also produced a version for string orchestra, both of which were published in 1927. In 1928, he made this arrangement for full orchestra.
In 1588 a book on dance was published under the title Orchesographie et traite en forme de dialogue par lequel toutes personnes peuvent facilement apprendre et pratiquer l'honnete exercice des danses (or Orchesographie for short!) written by Thoinot Arbeau (an anagram of his real name, Jehan Tabourot, a canon of the cathedral at Langres). The material is presented in the form of a dialogue between Arbeau and Capriol, a lawyer. This explains Warlock's choice of name for his Suite 'based on dance tunes from Arbeau's Orchesographie'. An English translatIon was published 1925 of Arbeau's book, in which the musical illustrations were transcribed by Warlock who then produced his Suite based on a selection of these tunes.

Space Float is the FaSTeam's entry for the #libGDXJam, a game about delivery service in the space.
Move the mouse to rotate the spaceship, click to activate the reactors.
Neat game! What's the meter on the right trying to tell the player. It seems like it activates when over the main station or platform. But I wasn't a 100% sure what the trigger was for picking up and dropping off. I think it's when you're moving slow enough over the platform?
Also what do the purple lines indicate?
You can pickup parcel (stay over until meter on the right reaches the top icon) and then delivery it to right target (stay over platform until meter reaches the bottom).
That makes sense. I'll give it another try with that in mind!

Baccio del Bianco (Florencia, 1604 - Madrid, 1657), ingeniero y escenógrafo italiano del Siglo de Oro teatral.

Llegó a España en 1651 para sustituir a Cosme Lotti. Bianco había ya colaborado con otros arquitectos, escenógrafos y figurinistas italianos como Alfonso Parigi el Joven o Bernardo Buontalenti, y llegaba a la corte de los Austrias en un momento de gran madrurez artística, tras haber trabajado para los Medici y la nobleza florentina. Aunque su estancia en España fue bastante breve (la muerte le sorprendió seis años después de llegar) resultó muy intensa y dejó una huella muy importante en la historia escénica del siglo XVII. Era increíblemente versátil, capaz de trabajar como director, escenógrafo, coreógrafo, figurinista, grabador, comediógrafo o actor, o incluso como caricaturista, modelista de vajillas, orfebre, cristalero, ebanista, atrezzista, compositor de música o instrumentista de cuerda y viento.

Colaboró con Pedro Calderón de la Barca en numerosas comedias para fiestas palaciegas: La fiera, el rayo y la piedra, comedia mitológica representada en el Coliseo del Buen Retiro en 1652. Otras fueron Andrómeda y Perseo (1653), o El golfo de las Sirenas (1657). Con motivo del estreno de la penúltima, Pedro Calderón de la Barca sintió celos profesionales a causa de los excesos escenográficos de Bianco (caídas, mutaciones, naufragios...) en cuyo proceso de preparación hubo de intervenir el mismísimo Felipe IV, preocupado por las noticias que le llegaban y los rifirrafes entre los dos creadores. Sin embargo, es lo cierto que la colaboración entre ambos logró funcionar a la perfección cuando el italiano le ganó la confianza a don Pedro (que ya había tenido sus encontronazos con su antecesor Cosme Lotti), y dio como fruto enormes éxitos teatrales.

Disregard fake news on Atiku's arraignment – EFCC
in NEWS, Politics
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has urged the public to disregard an online publication which speculated that the commission had arraigned former vice president Atiku Abubakar over alleged fraud of N75.3 billion.
In a statement on Friday in Abuja by the commission's Acting spokesperson, Mr Tony Orilade, EFCC dismissed the report of Atiku's alleged arraignment before Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court, Ikeja, Lagos, as fake.
"The attention of the commission has been drawn to an online report which claimed that the commission on Thursday, January 9, 2020, arraigned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
"We wish to state categorically that nothing of such took place.
"The Commission also wishes to state that no statement or press release emanated from the spokesperson of the Commission, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, to that effect as claimed in the report.
"Nor was there any involvement of any sort from the Commission's prosecutor, Joy Amahian, in the imaginary arraignment.
"The story remains the authors imagination of fake news.
"The Commission, therefore, urges the general public to disregard the fake news as handiwork of mischief makers," the statement read in part.

Q: Is the lacunary series an example of a bijection between $\mathbb{C}$ and the open unit disc? I was considering the function $f(z) = z+ z^2 + z^4 + z^8 + \ ... \ = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} z^{2^n} $
It's well known this has a natural boundary at $|z| = 1$ and cannot be analytically continued beyond this boundary.
It naturally follows then that the image of this function over the domain of the open unit disc is going to be all of $\mathbb{C}$.
Now the question: is this mapping a bijection?
I was inspired to ask this since I cannot seem to find a non trivial zero of this function other than $z=0$.
One idea is to try to generalize the ideas in this question's answer from the world of differential equations to generic functional equations (note that $f$ can be characterized by $f(z^2) + z = f(z)$. But I wasn't sure what is the best way to generalize the wronkskian testing procedure to arbitrary functional equations.

ECOWAS can fast-track development through innovations – Prez
Accra, July 22, GNA – President John Dramani Mahama has urged ECOWAS member states to take advantage of innovations and technologies to develop inclusive business models that would harness the sub-region's natural resources optimally for rapid socio-economic development.
No Comments on ECOWAS can fast-track development through innovations – Prez
He said this would serve as key inputs to the sub-region's industrialisation process, powered by its endowments of clean sources of renewable energy, especially solar.
"It is important for West African countries to identify clear, consistent and coherent policies and interventions involving all key stakeholders to build partnerships and bridges," President Mahama said in a speech read on his behalf by Dr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, the Minister of Trade and Industry, at the maiden ECOWAS Industrial Summit in Accra on Thursday.
"We can leverage on our limited public resources to mobilise investments from the private sector and from various sources in line with national priorities," President Mahama said.
The summit was set in the context of the West Africa Common Industrial Policy with its main vision as maintaining a solid industrial structure which is globally competitive, environmentally-friendly and capable of significantly improving the living standards of the people by 2030.
Its objective is to accelerate the industrialisation and private sector development of West Africa.
President Mahama said the summit, on the theme: "Promoting Investment to Accelerate the Industrialisation of ECOWAS," was appropriately linked with the Government's transformation agenda which had its heart in improving livelihoods.
"Indeed, an accelerated and profound economic structural transformation, through reallocating economic activities from less productive to more productive sectors for sustainable and inclusive development, is the sure pathway to stem sub-regional poverty," he said.
"For us to achieve real transformation, policy shifts and strategic changes in programme implementation patterns will be required across the sub-region.
"A focused approach in supporting key areas, such as the provision of electricity to impel industrialisation, curbing hunger and malnutrition, improvements in rural life, ensuring food self-sufficiency, as well as the expansion of basic social services, should be our current trail," he said.
President Mahama said in that strive; ECOWAS should seek also to change the financing mechanisms that impeded the sub-regions industrial development.
"We need to convert some of our financial institutions from short term lenders for commercial transactions to long term financiers of industrial projects, especially those which add value to our natural resources," he said.
President Mahama explained that in sync with this, an aggressive pursuit of industrialisation had become more compelling in shoring up and sustaining the sub-region's growth trajectory.
"It is my belief that with carefully developed backward and forward linkages; our industrialisation effort has the potential to diversify Africa's sub-regional economies.
"This will reduce the exposure of our economies to external shocks while providing decent jobs for our people," he said.
Dr Spio-Garbrah, on his part, said the West Africa Common Industrial Policy demanded that countries responded to the specific and dynamic needs expressed by their manufacturing sectors with appropriately designed and targeted policies.
He said in order to reach such policy coherence, West African governments required strong industrial policy management capabilities in their endeavour to eliminate poverty.
Mr Marcel Alain de Souza, the President of the ECOWAS Commission, in a speech read on his behalf, said in order to ensure a vibrant sub-regional economy, there was the need for industrial co-operation among member states.
He said the West African Industrial Common Policy objective was to diversify and broaden the region's industrial production base by progressively raising the local raw material processing rates from 15 to 20 per cent to an average of 30 per cent by 2030.

It features a band of rich reds and greens (obtained from the same glaze through masterful manipulation of the firing process) accented with cobalt blue calligraphic gestures. This is the actual urn you will receive. Once it has been sold, there will be no more exactly like it. This original one-of-a-kind urn is signed by the artist. This urn is large enough to hold the cremains of two individuals.

Project Planning Cards
Coding to Learn and Create Co-Design Kit
Created by Sepideh Shahi, last modified on Jul 02, 2020
At this session, the student used the C2LC coding environment to build a sequence of actions to achieve a specific goal. In the previous sessions, students had experienced a cause and effect interaction and saw immediate results every time they pressed a button on their controllers. However, in this session, students were encouraged to first plan a path with the C2LC coding environment and then play their program to see the results.
Direction Dance: To begin, a video was played (at a slower playback speed) to help the student(s) understand directions of up, down, right, and left. Students were encouraged to follow along with the physical movement. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5ERcDnOnKg).
C2LC Coding Environment Introduction: In the following activity, students were introduced to the C2LC coding environment. After the review of the available three actions in the coding environment (Move, Turn Right, Turn Left), the facilitator used lego blocks to provide a familiar and tangible example of how a sequence can be built using those three actions.
In-Home Mission: Before moving to the main activity, students were given an in-home mission to use the C2LC coding environment to direct their parents as a robot and move them from a far corner in the room back to the student. Next, the student played the role of a robot and parents/siblings were in charge of using the C2LC coding environment to bring the student back to the class station.
Main Activity (Safari Adventure): One facilitator shared her screen with a large interactive grid and four jungle animals placed on different spots. Students were tasked to use the actions on the C2LC coding environment on their iPad to reach different animals on this grid. The facilitator would move the mini car according to the movements each student was adding to their sequence. Moving forward and turning were each associated with a specific sound effect. Although the most direct path to each animal was highlighted green on the screen, students were allowed to build a different path to get to an animal. Once an animal was reached, the animal sound effect and its real-life image were played.
Reinforce the concept of robots using a new example
Review and familiarize understanding of directions (Move forward, Turn right and left)
Gauge the value of using bigger grids in backgrounds, adding sound effects to each movement, and leaving a trace behind a moving car
Notes from the session
Student benefited from hand-over-hand support from mom for differentiating right and left
After mom demonstrated drag and drop, the student was able to independently drag an icon to add an action to the program. The student used a mixture of move forward and turn right and left on the program
The student was touching buttons instead of dragging with the prototype
The student still used the C2LC coding environment as a remote control and expected immediate effect upon selecting an action
Students were able to find routes not highlighted in green.
The student was focused and engaged for a longer session than usual (30 minutes)
Legos provided a familiar visual cue
Notes for C2LC design
Themes of vehicles (i.e. cars/trains/airplanes), jungle, animals motivate students
Option to simplify the screen and reduce the visibility of animals not selected
Visual cue/animation of trunk moving (i.e. lights on vehicle or arrow to show the direction it was moving)
Sound effects for different movements were helpful
Embed grid in the road rather than whole background
Drag and Drop feature can be a helpful feature to have as an option (and can be turned off for students who have no used or built the skill)

The Thousand Year Journey: Death Penalty Abolition in the UK

What links William the Conqueror, Charles Dickens, the United Nations and the man on the London street?
The French have long claimed to be a civilising influence on the unruly British and in fact it was a Frenchman who made the first strike against the death penalty in Britain. Soon after conquering the British lands, William the Conqueror abolished this punishment. So profound and far-reaching was King William's influence that you see it every day and everywhere in today's Britain; in our legal system, aspects of our adminstrative system, in the incredible architectural inheritance he left behind, and even on our landscape. Sadly his inspirational lead was not followed by his son, William Rufus, who reinstated it.
For many hundreds of years there was little progress and then, from the late 1700s a series of Parliamentarians took up the challenge. Sir William Meredith MP, Sir Samuel Romilly MP, and Sir James Mackintosh MP all played their part in raising the profile of this issue, ensuring a debate and securing a progressive reduction in the number of crimes for which the death penalty could be applied.
From the beginning of the 19th Century campaigning to abolish or at least to "civilise" the death penalty spread beyond Parliament to involve private individuals such as the literary giant, Charles Dickens, and pressure groups such as the Quaker religious movement.
The next push came after World War II when the international community passed the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights which recognised "the inherent dignity and inalienable rights of all members of the human family". A series of attempts was made by the House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament) to suspend or abolish the death penalty, but these were defeated by the House of Lords (the upper house or Senate).
From the 1950s growing pubic disquiet built up pressure for action. The disquiet was prompted by a range of issues; for some it was the moral question of upholding the dignity of man. For others it was the coming to light of miscarriages of justice resulting in unjustified execution. As the popular press reported in detail on the trials of those facing execution, the process came under closer public scrutiny, raising the level of the debate surrounding the death penalty and moving it from the hallowed halls of the House of Commons onto the street. The questions raised included whether society had the right to take life at all?; whether execution could ever be humane either for the condemned man or for the executioner himself?; whether it was necessary in a society with a low murder rate?; whether it served as a deterrent?
Finally, in 1969 "a great cheer went up around the House of Commons" reported a newspaper as the British Parliament abolished the death penalty following a seven hour debate.
In this long journey, the focus shifted from efforts to make execution more civilised, to the questioning of the morality of the practice and of the practical issues such as whether any judicial system can avoid mistakes – mistakes which are ultimately irreversible.
Some might question why one of the world's oldest democracies has never held a referendum on this issue? Referendums are very rare in the UK; when the people elect MPs there is an understanding that they put their faith in their MP's judgement and good faith to do his or her best to represent the best interests of their constituents while at the same time bearing in mind the best interests of the country as a whole.
From a great King, to Parliamentarians, from the earliest NGOs and onto the public street ….. a thousand year journey to ban the death penalty in the UK.

John will next be in the USA, based in Black Mountain NC, in 2018. Email him to extend an invitation to visit your congregation or organization.
John McCall has been serving in Taiwan for over 20 years. He spends a lot of time on trains, buses, and subways as he travels throughout Taiwan teaching courses on ministry and spiritual formation at the seminaries of the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan. John leads groups of pastors in different parts of Taiwan that meet monthly to find encouragement and challenge. "I have the privilege of accompanying both seminary students and pastors as they seek to be Christ's light and salt in this land," he says. Most every weekend, John is in a different church or presbytery teaching and preaching and equipping the leadership of the Taiwanese church. Many of these churches are indigenous, located in the high mountains, on the coast, or in Taiwan's teeming cities.
Taiwan, the size of Maryland and Delaware combined, has a population just a little smaller than Australia. It is located south of Japan, north of the Philippines, and just 100 miles from the south coast of China. The Portuguese called Taiwan "Formosa," which means "beautiful island." From its rugged coasts to its high mountains to its bustling cities, Taiwan truly is beautiful. It is a high-tech country with many folks involved in the computer and smart-phone industry.
Taiwan has a number of different people groups, with at least 16 indigenous groups. Scholars believe that some of these groups may have been on Taiwan for at least 10,000 years. There are also immigrants who arrived from southern China over 400 years ago, Hakka people who also emigrated from China, and those who came over with Chiang Kai-Shek in 1949. In addition, many folks from southeast Asia have come to Taiwan for work. The diversity of people groups, languages, and cultures makes Taiwan a dynamic multicultural country.
On any given Sunday in the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan, one can hear at least 15 different languages being spoken in worship. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s partner church in Taiwan, the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan, is the largest Protestant denomination on the island. Only 3-4 percent of the population is Christian in this predominately Buddhist country. Presbyterian missionaries from England arrived in Taiwan over 150 years ago and were soon followed by Canadian Presbyterians. The PC(USA) began work in Taiwan after World War II. The Presbyterian Church of Taiwan seeks to share Christ's love through ministries of evangelism, health care, student work, social justice, and theological education.
John McCall's experience demonstrates that the mission legacy of Presbyterians casts a light that crosses time and cultures.
Their adeptness at building relationships across cultures was evident when the Black Mountain congregation worshipped and worked alongside ethnic churches, John says. Their commitment to service showed when volunteers were needed to tutor at the local elementary school or fill some other community need.
"I learned a great deal from them, and God used them to cause me to ponder international mission service," John says.
John sensed that God had called him to follow in the mission tradition that had been modeled for him so powerfully. In 1996, he accepted an appointment to serve in Taiwan.
John has become fluent in Mandarin Chinese; taught seminarians preaching, worship, and spiritual formation; and preached regularly in pulpits throughout Taiwan. He also has written four books on spiritual formation that have been published in Mandarin in Taiwan.
John has spent a considerable portion of his time in Taiwan working with the island's aboriginal people, who are believed to be of Malayo-Polynesian origin. They make up less than 2 percent of Taiwan's population, but about 70 percent of the aborigines are Christians. They are the most marginalized group in Taiwan and have limited employment and educational opportunities.
While the aboriginal people face many challenges, John finds them to be unselfish and committed followers of Christ. "The generosity of the aboriginal people continues to teach me," he says.
About half of the churches in the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan are aboriginal. The 200,000 members of the Presbyterian Church make up about one-third of the island's Christian population and 1 percent of the total population. Though a tiny minority of the population, their impact in Taiwan is much bigger than their numbers, and John says the faithfulness of the Taiwanese Christian community inspires him.

I love taiko and I love making things from recycled materials. It's great when these two passions come together!!
My taiko group Nen Daiko is very busy getting ready for our summer festival, called Obon, which takes place at Ekoji Buddhist Temple on July 9. Obon is a Buddhist festival to commemorate ancestors. It is also an opportunity to watch amazing taiko, eat delicious Japanese and Hawaiian food and dance traditional community dances.
I volunteered to be on the organizing committee because I hoped we could try new things – specifically, I hoped we could offer more creative activities for participants. I was hoping we could have more making at this event!
Did you ever think about how making crafts out of trash is a GREAT idea when it comes to fundraising? The whole community comes together to divert these items from their trash stream. Everyone becomes acquainted with this mindset that if it is colorful, clean and durable, it can probably become something else.
I'll write about the other activities soon, but this blog is about our taiko player craft. This was the first one I designed.
I chose this color palette of white, black and purple because that is the colors of my taiko group, Nen Daiko.
The first version I made shows the taiko player with a taiko that sits on the floor. The taiko is made from a single serve yogurt container. I liked this design because the taiko player can stand up. The drum acts as a third leg. A half pipe cleaner connects them. But the challenge was that I only had about 20 of these containers. When I asked friends to collect them for me, very few came. I think most people throw these in the garbage rather than wash out the yogurt left in the container. So I needed to design a new version that was not dependent on the yogurt container.
That's when I designed a version with an okedo. An Okedo is a drum that has the two heads tied on. The central core is often smaller than the heads. I made this version with a wine cork and two flat caps.
It takes a lot more drilling and sewing, but it's really cute!
So now that we had a prototype of the craft, it was time to prep the materials for Obon. My plan is to drill enough caps for at least 150 people to make the craft. Since we have never offered crafts like this before, we don't know how many folks would like to do it – so that's a guess.
Yikes! That is a lot of caps to drill!
So I have drilled a lot of caps in my life. The largest amount was for the NoVA Maker Faire when we made cap-erpillars. I also made a Halloween costume of a globe all from drilled plastic caps. I drilled all those caps with a hand drill. And it was probably not that safe really. I held the cap in my left hand and drilled with my right. Plus it was tiring on my right shoulder.
My friend Jeff Hanlon has been bugging me for years to buy a drill press, and I don't know why I resisted. They are not that expensive. Maybe I thought – oh this is my last plastic cap design – ha!
Anyhow, this week, I finally bought one!!! My husband Bob, who I have noted is a genius, designed a very cool set-up to protect my fingers. He drilled circles in a piece of wood that were the same size as the caps in the craft. He even designed a little metal arm that rotates over the hole to hold the cap in there while drilling.
I thought the cap might just spin around and the hole wouldn't happen, but it works fantastically! I just pop in the cap, swing over the arm, drill the hole, push up from the bottom and pop out the cap. MUCH safer for my fingers.
So I'm very excited to prepare my taiko craft people for Obon. I hope if you live anywhere near Washington DC, you can come and make one yourself!


When I was in Taylor early afternoon a few weeks ago, and turning south on 79 heading back toward Manor, a gorgeous adult bobcat, appearing especially dear and vulnerable and capable, crossed under the highway, her sensual muscularity and stretching sinews moving her stealthily and otherwise openly through a culvert passing under the pavement concrete bridge. Wanting to remain out of sight, she nevertheless had to expose herself to view to continue following the prolific and flood-prone Mustang Creek, which crosses under 79. And bobcat stopped on a big grassy spot in the sunlight in the median, open to anyone passing by with the eyes to see, between the heavily trafficked roaring north and south lanes with heavy vehicles vibrating the road itself, to catch her breath and assess her position and probably to calm herself amidst the awful stress oppression of her struggle for survival in such an environment. Her mouth was open and seemed to be panting, this healthy prime of life venturer.
She had been traveling along and through the verdant teeming life of the creek and following it into the outskirts of the town of Taylor, Texas, and had now entered an area of grotesque unnatural schism and contradiction with a major creek trying to remain wild while bisecting the concrete rigor mortis of a highway. And who's to say the highway system doesn't carry the artifice and stresses of every destination along its way and those traveling it? And who can save the athletic savvy wild weary creature whose life we barely acknowledge, this perfectly evolved beautiful spotted and soft-furred being, who had suckled from her mother, herself likely a mother too, and who seems for that moment to be as human as any of us, moreso, even humane, engaging and defying the driven pathological mentality of the relentless mechanical deconstruction of the natural world ongoing.
And about a mile away, within sight, is a large buildings complex, looking tiny at that distance, which further highlights Bobcat's humaneness by comparison. It's Taylor's infamous T. Don Hutto ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) detention center complex, just north of Mustang Creek, laid out and constructed just beyond reach of the creek's wild flood plain. Bobcat rests on the grass. The 500 captive women held at T. Don Hutto (Would he be proud?) against their will can only pray for rest within the confines of T. Don Hutto ICE detention center, a nightmarish warehouse for immigrant women, held cruelly and cynically like hostages to stall the progress of a better future we're inexorably heading for, a better future not only for the immigrants but also inevitably for the country and world, the women held captive likely illegally, and most certainly brutally and sadistically. We are all immigrants now, and in reality always have been immigrants. You are an immigrant. Your parents were immigrants. Your children are immigrants, as will be theirs. Pilgrim's Progress, Folks.
Of the 500 women at T. Don Hutto (a male, of course), 40 of them are mothers of children torn from them by America's Gestapo, who are being readied to expand their work, in ways the public is not aware of.
