Factors Associated with Delayed Hepatitis B Viral Suppression on Tenofovir Among HBV-HIV Coinfected Patients in the CNICS Cohort. Despite widespread use in HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the effectiveness of tenofovir (TDF) has not been studied extensively outside of small HBV-HIV coinfected cohorts. We examined the effect of prior lamivudine treatment (3TC) and other factors on HBV DNA suppression with TDF in a multi-site clinical cohort of coinfected patients. We studied all patients enrolled in the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems cohort from 1996-2011 who had chronic HBV and HIV infection, initiated a TDF-based regimen continued for ≥3 months and had on-treatment HBV measurements. We used Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox-Proportional hazards to estimate time to suppression (HBV DNA level <200 IU/ml or <1000 copies/ml) by selected covariates.


Isoleucine supports lean muscle-mass building and muscle repair. It can help reduce the harmful effects of stress on your body.
Isoleucine is needed for hemoglobin (carries oxygen in the blood) formation. It has been found to be deficient in people suffering from certain mental and physical disorders.


There will be some work going on at the front of The Barn shortly. This is to overcome the quagmire that seems to collect all the water draining off The Green! There will be some digging and some fencing and then we will reseed the area, which will need a few weeks to get established. We then hope to install some raised beds for community gardening. If you are interested in joining our relaxed gardening club, please contact Hilary Pavitt here.
Thanks to our volunteers, we have recently installed two outside storage sheds for events notice boards etc. which frees up much needed space inside.

Meet EXP, NYC's K-Pop group.
It's not easy to make your work stand out in a world full of aspiring artists and musicians, but three creatives have figured out a way to create their own lane: last October, Bora Kim decided to put together the "1st+only NYC born K-Pop band" help from Karin Kuroda and Samantha Shao. They auditioned and handpicked members of the 6 man group, EXP.
The similarity between the name EXP and the names of some other K-pop groups has actually been a source of some tension. Koreaboo.com pointed out that some people have been leaving disapproving Instagram comments.
Stay tuned—a mini-album is supposedly in the works. Watch a video about the project, and check out EXP in sharp purple suits below.

GREATER VALUE
Mexico 2019 | FINANCE | INTERVIEW
Loui Anastasopoulos is President of Capital Formation at TSX and TSXV. He is responsible for TMX Group's listings business, along with global business development and relationship management. He previously served as CEO of TSX Trust Company, where he provided leadership to TMX's corporate trust and transfer agency business.
How many Mexican companies are listed on TSX and TSXV, and how much growth do you foresee in the next year?
Mexico is our most robust market in Latin America in terms of equity capital raised and is still our primary focus. Notably, we saw five new mining companies with properties in Mexico list on our exchanges in 2018, like Avino Silver and Orla Mining. These companies had no problem raising funds. That investor support is another reason why Mexican companies continue to look at Canada as a place to raise capital. We have 126 companies with properties in Mexico listed between our two markets and have raised approximately USD410 million in equity capital. In terms of growth, we continue to see Mexico as one of our key markets.
What areas of opportunity has TSX identified from the change of administration?
We are observing the transition carefully because Mexico is a key jurisdiction. We continue to make investments not just in Mexico, but in the broader Latin American region. We recently hired someone on the ground in Brazil who can also address the broader Latin American market. We have heard different things as everyone in Mexico is still trying to get some clarity on the country's future direction. Mining is something we have been focused on, but we have also been encouraged by developments around energy deregulation over the past few years. We are watching closely to see how those policies will move forward under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador because we see a major opportunity in the energy sector. If that window opens in Mexico, we see a great opportunity for us to bring some companies and opportunities to Canada and have them raise capital and potentially go public as well.
What advantages does TSX offer companies with projects in Mexico compared to other exchanges globally?
We are known as the world's leading global mining exchange. We list nearly 50% of all the public mining companies in the world. Our 2018 financing statistics show that 49% of all global mining financings were completed on our markets. This has to do with the ecosystem in Canada. We have a vibrant community of lawyers, bankers, and broader stakeholders who understand the resource industry because it has evolved here over 150 years. Equally important is the broad investment ecosystem that knows how to value resource companies and the regulatory framework under National Instrument 43-101 that allows companies to be valued based on their inferred resources. As a result, companies can drive higher valuations and, therefore, raise capital more freely. We also have a large retail investing community that is somewhat unique to Canada. Most average people in Canada have trading accounts and actively participate in these mining and resource companies.
What strategies is TSX using to grow its presence in other industries in Mexico?
Our focus continues to be primarily mining and energy in Mexico. We also work with the consulate on a number of initiatives. As things evolve, we will look at whether we require further investment in Mexico. We are open to other opportunities, but there is no formal strategy or investment as heavy as in Mexico's mining and energy sectors. Notably, Mexico begins to look interesting when you consider the growth of the cannabis industry. We see a huge opportunity as that industry starts to evolve because we have solidified and positioned ourselves as the global marketplace for cannabis. We have raised nearly USD12 billion in that sector over the last five years with 50 companies listed on our market, and we don't see that slowing down. We have some listed companies on TSX and TSX Venture that are doing business with companies in Mexico relating to cannabis. We have shown that Canada is a great market that is really supportive of financing the cannabis industry.
A Steady Hand
"One of the main objectives of the current administration has been precisely to strengthen public finances."
A Large Slice
"We make sure to try and recognize our losses early on to take immediate action."

The Last of Her Kind by Sigrid Nunez
The book jacket says this 2006 book is about two women from very different backgrounds who met as freshmen at Barnard in 1968. One, Ann, is from a wealthy family, successful at any endeavor she takes up. The other is Georgette, the narrator, who comes from an underprivileged background involving heavy drinking and an abusive mother in upstate New York. The two become very close, and though Georgette is drawn to the brilliant Ann, she doesn't share her idealizing of the poor, a category Georgette hopes to escape. Ann is relentless in her hatred of those in her own class, and is cruel and ugly to her parents. As the book blurb tells us, Georgette and Ann have a violent fight and their connection ends.
Georgette loses interest in school, begins working in Manhattan, and becomes consumed with her runaway sister Solange who turns up on her doorstep. She tells us in depth about the experience of the young teenage runaway in those years so now we have the twin stories of life at Barnard and on the road. The privileged Ann, consumed with seeing the world in stark political terms, is a contrast to the powerless Solange who must escape her family and trust strangers and who finds kindness in that life. Another part of this picture is Georgette, who makes a pleasant easy-going life for herself in New York, drifting into jobs, going back to school, marrying twice, having children.
As a person who graduated from college in 1967, I have plenty of memories of those strange times. I stayed in the university community and observed at close range the political upheaval of those years and saw people completely reject social norms. In 1970 we lived in a rooming house in Denver where young drifters took on the challenge of revealing their world to us relatively conformist oldies. Those sweet but tough kids came to mind as I read about Solange. It was such a strange time: all the rules were open to question, and I wondered what would happen next.
Ann comes to Georgette's attention again eight years after their fight when she kills one policeman and wounds another. She acted because from her second floor window she saw the policeman threatening her boyfriend with his gun and yelling racial slurs. She shot the policemen to protect her boyfriend, but the second policeman killed him. She is pilloried in the newspaper on the assumption it was a political act to kill the policemen. Georgette always maintained that Ann's act was to protect her boyfriend. The upshot is that Ann is sent to jail where she continues her work for the underclass.
Years later it turns out that because of a complicated set of circumstances Georgette has the power to publish works in a well-known and respected magazine. That is how we learn from a lifer fellow inmate the story of Ann's time in prison, and in particular, how she won the respect and friendship of this woman.
There was much that was appealing and gripping about the book; it called up so many insightful flashes from those years. Its strength for me did not rest solely on the Ann-Georgette connection as I had expected. Solange's experiences of those times were also evocative for me.

As usual, the above examples are just a miniscule set of the many collectibles available on the bourse.
Our dealers provide a wide range of coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles each month.
Since many of the dealers attend other shows, they bring different specimens for display from one month to the next.
Visit the next Greater Atlanta Coin Show on Sunday, April 7, 2019 in the Joe Mack Wilson ballroom to buy, sell, trade or just browse among the treasures on display in the dealers' showcases.
Many visitors came to the March 2019 Greater Atlanta Coin Show with its bourse filled with dealers and their showcases displaying coins, currency, bullion and other collectibles.
Thank you to all of the people who made the coin show a busy and fun place to spend a few hours - the many visitors, the dealers, our security and the hotel's staff.
The show welcomed old friends who visit frequently along with many new guests to the show as well. Thank you all for joining us.
This month, the weather provided a light rain in the early morning changing to sunshine by mid afternoon. In other words, it was a great day to be out visiting a coin show.
As usual, the hotel had church groups in some of their meeting spaces, otherwise the space was not as busy as last month.
As for coins and collectibles, some people came to browse and buy, others came with items to sell, while some came to obtain appraisals.
The buyers searched for rare currency, Walking Liberty half dollars and BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) Franklin halves.
In particular, the show enjoyed some young numismatists working diligently on their collections. One, a repeat guest, continued to search for just the right additions to her Indian Head Cent collection.
Some sellers brought silver bars and 90% silver coins while others had collections such as proof sets to offer the dealers.
Dealers at the show offer free verbal appraisals for collections, and people brought items from their grandparents to find their current value.
Now, let's take a virtual look at just a few of the items found on the bourse.
Okay, this is not really a collectible, however the show enjoys allowing a few Boy Scouts to sell their camp cards each year.
"Camp Cards are designed to help units and their members earn their way to summer resident camp, high adventure base or day camp. Units participating in this program will earn 50% commission ($2.50) for each $5 Camp Card they sell. The sale begins the first week of March, giving units over two months to sell.
"Companies have offered generous one-time and multiple use discounts that makes the sale of this card a no-brainer. Customers using just one tab, recovers the purchase price of the card! There is well over $250 worth of savings on each card.
"What is the reason? ... planning an Eagle Scout Leadership project, earning their first merit badge, white-water rafting, experiencing their first campout, etc.
For those of you that purchased the Camp Cards, thank you for helping them grow with scouting.
This collectible, a shoulder patch, comes from the military.
"In 1954 the 30th Infantry Division was reorganized, with units in North Carolina and South Carolina constituting the 30th Infantry Division, and units in Tennessee forming the nucleus of the new 30th Armored Division.
"Though never federalized during wartime, the 30th Armored Division (called 'Volunteers,' for Tennessee's 'Volunteer State' nickname) was activated for support to law enforcement, including responses to civil disturbances in Memphis and Nashville after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The next collectible comes from the automotive industry, in particular, for the Corvette enthusiasts.
Through the years, several different, yet related, emblems have graced the sports car.
In the beginning, the emblem contained an American flag crossed with a checkered flag, however at that time it was illegal to use the American flag as part of a commercial design.
Instead, they introduced an emblem with the checkered flag crossed with a red flag containing the Chevrolet bowtie and a fleur-de-lis design.
Some years the flags would be encased in a circle and others the flags stood alone.
Also, the angle of the cross changed through the years, sometime broad, others more narrow.
In later years, the flags became more stylized with a "V" in the middle rather than an "X."
You can find one writer's view of the emblems through the years in Part I and Part II with associated images.
Based on their research, Chevrolet introduced this particular emblem in 1977.
Of course, true Corvette aficionados can probably provide the specific model, engine, etc.
The next collectible highlights an excellent example of doubled die in the obverse of the 1955 Lincoln Cent.
"Jaime Hernandez: The 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln cent is unquestionably the most famous doubled die coin in the entire Lincoln cent series and possibly, even the most famous doubled die coin in numismatics.
"The 1955 Doubled Dies were created when the Mint struck a working hub and a working die together while they were both slightly rotated differently from one another. Consequently, this working die then received a doubled die impression and in return, it struck thousands of 1955 Doubled Die cents.
"After the 1955 Doubled Dies were produced they were then mixed with millions of regular circulation strike cents from that same year. However, Mint employees caught some of the 1955 Doubled Die cents before they went into circulation. The Mint then decided that it was just not worth the trouble of melting millions of cents to retrieve the approximately 20,000 Doubled Die cents that were accidentally produced.
"In the following months 1955 Doubled Die cents were finally turning up in circulation, including in cigarette packs which were being sold in vending machines. At that time, a pack of cigarettes would cost 23 cents each but the vending machines would only take a quarter and no other change. Therefore, the cigarette companies would need to place two cents inside each pack of cigarettes to be given back as change. Anyone who inserted a quarter in the vending machine would then receive a pack of cigarettes with two Lincoln cents inside a cellophane packaging. This cellophane packaging was then wrapped around the cigarette packs with the two Lincoln cents inside it, and this is where many of the 1955 Doubled Dies surfaced.
"In conclusion, due to the high prices that the 1955 Doubled Die Lincoln cents command, there are many deceiving counterfeit coins out there in the market. One of the main diagnostics of a genuine 1955 Doubled Die cent can be seen on the reverse of the coin. Since there was only one pair of dies used to create the 1955 Doubled Dies, all genuine examples should display vertical die polishing lines to the left of the letter T in ONE CENT. Authentication is strongly recommended for this variety."
For some double-die errors, one needs a loupe to find the doubling. Not with this example.
Just look at the doubling in the letters and the date.
"Since 1955 Doubled Dies were being found the same year in which they were released, many coins were pulled aside and preserved. Because of this, most coins exist in AU grades and higher. The original estimate of existing 1955 Doubled Die cents was anywhere from 20,000 to 24,000 coins. Nonetheless, many coins possibly got lost in circulation and the amount of surviving examples may be more like 10,000 to 15,000 examples in existence in all grades combined.
"The 2019 United States Mint Proof Set features 10 proof coins encased in two clear plastic lenses in a beautifully designed package you'll be proud to display. One of the Mint's signature products, it is a great addition to any collection or the perfect gift for a special occasion. With sharp relief and mirror-like backgrounds, U.S. Mint proof coins have frosted, sculpted foregrounds, giving them a special cameo effect.
Next on the collectibles list is the US Mint's new proof set for 2019.
This set contains the normally available ten coins, but it also has a special Lincoln Cent.

"In 1968 the headquarters of the Mississippi Army National Guard's 108th Armored Cavalry Regiment was reorganized as 1st Brigade, 30th Armored Division. (The brigade was subsequently designated the 155th Separate Armored Brigade.) In addition, in 1968 units from the Florida Army National Guard and Alabama Army National Guard also became part of the 30th Armored Division.
"The 30th Armored Division was inactivated in December, 1973."
Due to the large market for military patches, there are reproduction collector patches in addition to the original military-issued patches.
There is an excellent discussion of original versus reproduction patches on the US Militaria Forum.
This patch certainly appears original with the shirt material as a background.

I do not know exactly from where the error is coming the node seems fine and all the packages I can see them inside the node_modules and package-lock.json
node -v

npm -v

A: Looks like the fabric node-sdk has broken the feature where having a C compiler was optional, now it's mandatory but because pkcs11 is still declared as optional the node-sdk will not fail to install but will fail to run as you have seen. You are going to either have to

*

*install the microsoft C compilers + python v3 and re-install (or rebuild) the fabric node-sdk node module which will then be able to build the pkcs11 native library (see https://www.npmjs.com/package/windows-build-tools on how to install the compilers and python)

*specify a specific version of the fabric node sdk (It looks like it was broken in 2.2.4 so 2.2.3 should work) so erase the node_modules directory and update package.json to specify exactly the version of fabric-network (ie put in 2.2.3 with no preceding characters such as ^ or ~) and run npm install again

*Use a linux desktop distribution instead of windows as they tend to include the necessary pre-reqs to build a native node library

The final thing to note is that you are using a version of node and npm which aren't supported. You should use node 12 or node 14 as these are the lts releases supported

"Sicut Cervus" is Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina's latest banger of the 1500s. As a leading expert on new musical releases, I will comprehensively rate "Sicut Cervus" based on four vital criteria: composition, lyrics, performance quality and if it suits my personal tastes.
The most immediate detriment to "Sicut Cervus" was the missing dynamics throughout the piece. How does a Renaissance-style piece not include modern dynamics? I know that Renaissance pieces usually don't have much dynamics, but Palestrina, I thought you were different. Additionally, the melody almost never has drastic changes in pitch. Are the singers so bad that they can't sing with variety? Despite this calamity, I must admit that the polyphonism of the piece is still impressive. Every voice part had its own phrasing and markings, essentially making "Sicut Cervus" four separate pieces skillfully mishmashed into one. I would tell Palestrina to hold a Masterclass on polyphonic music, except I'm afraid he'd influence up-and-coming composers into creating an era of boring music. 3/10.
Palestrina, did you even proofread these lyrics before you released "Sicut Cervus"? The entire piece is repeating a single sentence for three minutes. It's not even a particularly nice sentence. The English translation of the original Latin lyrics is as follows: "Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks: so longeth my soul after thee, O God." In normal English, that means, "The deer longs for springwater like my soul longs for you, God." How does this make sense? If the deer longs for springwater, it can just go drink springwater. The use of visual imagery and symbolism of the deer and springwater is quite ineffective due to how short the lyrics are and the lack of greater context behind the lyrical meaning. Moreover, the allusion to God is not very religiously inclusive for non-Bible believers. The lyrics were the greatest letdown, especially since the tone sounded so elegant in comparison. -17/10.
PERSONAL(LY) TASTELESS: One fearless writer dares take on a centuries old choral arrangement. Nicole Curtis
I was initially impressed with how smooth each of the parts sounded, not only within the parts but also throughout the chorus. But, I noticed that there are no existing recordings of performances of the piece from the original time period, which is disappointing to say the least. The thing I am the most angry about is the anti-feminist sentiment in this piece. "Sicut Cervus" is written for an all-men's chorus, using young boys to take the place of sopranos and altos. This is clear discrimination against female singers, and therefore, all women. What kind of precedent are you setting for girls who want to be singers and musicians? How do you expect women to listen to your music without any proper representation? I'm hoping that you didn't do this with ill intent and take this as an opportunity to educate yourself on the importance of feminism. 6/10.
Personal taste
This is by far the most crucial and important of the four criteria. Honestly, it wasn't that bad, but I definitely had higher expectations for Palestrina. The piece was pretty, but to be honest, it was kind of bland, especially in comparison to the Top 100 songs of the modern era. I'm sorry to say this, but if "Sicut Cervus" is indicative of all Renaissance music, then the Renaissance era probably went out of style for a reason. Even though it had its moments, as a piece overall, "Sicut Cervus" was quite… unfortunate. I really suggest some further research on the composer's part. 4/10.
Note: The Howler reached out to Giovanni Pierluigi de Palestrina for comment but has not received a response as of Sept. 28.

Study counterpoint, then you'll understand why each part was written the way it was. What a completely uninformed piece you've written.

This piece is satirical
Don't agree with your opinion even if it is tongue in cheek. I love this piece and especially enjoy singing it in choir, one of my favourites. I'd be surprised if any modern music is still being sung in 40 years, let alone 400.
Saundra Stephenson
Why would a renaissance piece include modern dynamics? That's an interesting hill to die on. Dynamics were not commonly used until the 17th century, after Palestrina had long been reduced to bones in his grave.
After reading more of your review, I see that it is satire. Hehe.

Anachronistic is the criticism based on feminism. Today both all male and all female as well as mixed choirs and children's choirs are delightful.
Sarah Carpetner
I have to ask how Erin ever attained the position as staff writer…here critique was as far off the mark as was ever possible. Perhaps it would help to research the religious and political climate of the time.

Her critique being off the mark was the point. This is satirical.


The Republican Party's proposed shift to border-adjusted corporate tax (BTA) could have a significant impact on the global oil market, pushing US crude prices higher and triggering large-scale domestic production, said analysts at Goldman Sachs.
The border tax intends to boost US manufacturing by taxing imports while exempting US business export revenues from corporate taxation.
The switch to BTA would lift US crude futures 25 percent over global prices and provide an incentive for local producers to boost output.
"We expect WTI [US crude benchmark – Ed.] could move to a $10 per barrel premium to Brent from a $3 discount - a $13 (+25 percent) relative move immediately," Goldman said.
It warned that while global crude market is only starting to rebalance, the ramp up in US production would create a renewed large oil surplus next year. That could lead to an immediate sharp decline in global oil prices, Goldman said.
It also said it sees Brent prices coming down to $50 per barrel in 2019, assuming a 15 percent appreciation in the US dollar upon implementation of the BTA, and a 30 percent pass-through of US production costs to global production costs.
In the long run, that would result in 2020 Brent prices falling to $40 per barrel, Goldman analysts added.
The positive impact of BTA on US producers would be similar to that on the country's refiners, giving them higher returns.
On the campaign trail, US President Donald Trump pledged to lower the corporate tax rate to just 15 percent, encouraging the world's corporate titans to create jobs and build factories in the US. He has threatened German car manufacturers with a 35 percent tax on vehicles imported to the US market.
Details of Trump's tax plan have not been publicly released yet.


Wood grain paper plates – Plates are flat boats where food can be served. It is generally widespread and concave. It's a bit shallow that helps hold food. Can be used for serving food, decoration or ceremony purposes. Plates are made of various materials such as Glass, wood, porcelain, bone china, plastic, paper, and in some cases even stone. In ancient times stone was a more popular choice so they found a better choice. The plates obtained during the excavation have been able to give a picture of culture and humanity.
This plate consists of 4 main parts. A well, where food is stored. The part is raised from the plate with a slight upward slope known as the lip. The outside edge is known as a rim, which can also be decorated. And the bottom that helps maintain a stable plate on the surface is called a base. In different cultures, the design and layout of plates vary.
Plates are generally made of ceramic materials such as porcelain and bone china. Today plastic and other modern materials are used but the popularity of ceramic remains high. They have been luxury in ancient times. Only rich and wealthy people can buy these table items, but now because of the reasonable prices, they have entered the ordinary household. Useful plates made of paper and plastic are also quite popular. They do not need to be washed again so they are the perfect choice for big gatherings. The sheet is eco-friendly and should be preferred over plastic plates. In some cultures, dishes made from tree leaves are also popular. They are an environmentally friendly approach. Plates are available in different sizes for each purpose.

Q: undefined local variable or method `recipient_email' I'm trying to force a flash method out of my model so I can display something nicer than the standard rails error.
I have this method in my model, invitation.rb:
def recipient_is_not_registered
  if User.find_by_email(recipient_email)
    false
  else
    true
  end
end

I call it with a before_create :recipient_is_not_registered callback and it returns false if the recipient_email has already been registered in the database as a User.  This should trigger the if @invitation.save as false, which goes down the else branch, displaying the flash message.
In my invitations_controller.rb I have:
def create
  @invitation = Invitation.new(invitation_params)
  @invitation.sender = current_user
  if @invitation.save
    redirect_to root_url, notice: 'Invitation was successfully created.'
  else
    flash[:notice] = "The email address #{recipient_email} has already been registered."
  end
end

This gives me the aforementioned error: undefined local variable or method ``recipient_email'
I have tried various iterations of Invitation.recipient_email to no avail.
There are 2 questions.

*

*Resolve the NameError.

*Discover why the flash isn't being displayed.

A: You can try this:
def create
  @invitation = Invitation.new(invitation_params)
  @invitation.sender = current_user
  if @invitation.save
    redirect_to root_url, notice: 'Invitation was successfully created.'
  else
    flash[:notice] = "The email address #{@invitation.recipient_email} has already been registered."
  end
end

I hope this help you.

A: Based on the information you provided, looks like recipient_email is an attribute of Invitation, which is going to be available within the Invitation only.
Try the following:
def create
  @invitation = Invitation.new(invitation_params)
  @invitation.sender = current_user

  if @invitation.save
    redirect_to root_url, notice: 'Invitation was successfully created.'
  else
    flash[:notice] = "The email address #{@invitation.recipient_email} has already been registered."
  end
end


Transport Minister Dean Nalder has unveiled a long-awaited green paper on taxi reform, which suggests a new industry cop combined with beefed-up powers and penalties as a measure to keep all players in line.
While taxi plate-owners complain that their investments have been de-valued by ride-sharing services like Uber X, Mr Nalder says it is not the Government's job to shield them from innovation.
"While it is recognised that taxi plate investors have purchased plates in good faith, the economic value of a business should be based on a superior customer proposition rather than the scarcity of supply or government regulation," the Minister's foreword says.
Among the suggestions is a call for plate-owners to have the cost of a new Annual Licence Vehicle (ALV) regime waived, so that they can provide "higher quality services at a lower cost".
The discussion paper also recommends meters be phased out for all but hailed rides, encouraging dispatchers to agree on fares with customers at the time of booking.
The authorities say this measure would boost transparency and restore faith lost by customers experiencing higher-than-expected fares upon arrival.
Mr Nalder said boosting competition was the goal, not just protecting taxi drivers.
He also insisted that Uber had displayed "a desire to come into a regulatory environment", in what would be a departure from its typical modus operandi.
"There will need to be a regulator with the appropriate tools at their disposal," the paper reads.
Transport Workers Union WA secretary Tim Dawson said plate-owners could be forced to take legal action, while Labor transport spokesperson Paul Papalia told News Corp that Government must compensate plate-owners for the decimation of their industry.
Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Deidre Willmott said the removal of restrictions on the number of plates and deregulation of taxi fares would be important tools in the industry's response to new cut-price services.
The paper is open for community response until October 11.


Nothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down, depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with, there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.
Oh, who am I trying to kid? It's a madhouse. The minute those cameras go off, things just explode, everyone is just at each other in one way or another, in closets or cat fights here and there. It's nuts. You know, I can't be a part of it.
So it allows me to travel, I'll be doing that and running these great rivers and doing what I've done in the past without much purpose other than for the experience.
There's editing, and scripts to read and edit, and casting, and all the elements of production that just sort of take up the normal downtime that you would have as an actor. So there's not a lot of that for me.
You have to suspend disbelief a little bit to buy into your situation and to the story and to how the character will react. You have to tweak your credibility a little bit, is basically what it comes down to.


They ruled the world for 160 million years, long before humans came around, and were driven extinct about 65 million years ago. But dinosaurs remain today a source of both scientific discovery and cultural wonder. They're featured both in blockbuster movies and in the world's best-known museums. And even after all this time studying them, we still don't know all there is to know about these reptilian bird creatures that continue to fascinate adolescents and archaeologists alike.

Niche National Rankings List SHS at No. 9
For those who might have missed this earlier in the month, Stevenson is ranked No. 9 in Niche's fifth annual rankings of the top public high schools in America. SHS is the fourth-highest Illinois school in the rankings, behind only three selective-enrollment institutions: the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, Walter Payton College Prep and Northside College Prep. Read this article for details.
Scholastic Bowl Team Sixth at National Tournament
One of Stevenson's two Scholastic Bowl teams finished sixth at the Partnership for Academic Competition Excellence's annual National Scholastic Championship held June 2-3 in Reston, Va.
Stevenson's "A" team with May graduates Deepak Moparthi and Chris Muth, senior Olivia Lamberti and junior Govind Prabhakar won 14 of its 20 games during the tournament, and was the only Illinois squad to finish in the top 30. The quartet won all seven of its preliminary games, and went 4-1 in the first playoff round to reach the super playoffs before finishing sixth.
The "B" team of seniors Emily Luo and Melanie Wang, and sophomores Daniel Ding, Healey Kogan, David Lee and Arjun Nageswaran also competed.
Stevenson finished second at the National Scholastic Championship in 2016 and was 10th last year.
Two New School Board Members Appointed
The new school year brings with it two new members of the District 125 Board of Education. Heena Agrawal and Amy Neault, who were appointed in June, are parents of current SHS students. Read this article to learn more about them. Agrawal and Neault replaced Merv Roberts and Bruce Lubin. Roberts resigned in June, citing his declining eyesight for the decision to step down after serving for 37 years. Lubin resigned in May after accepting chairmanship of the board of the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce.
Senior's Play to be Performed in Skokie
A play written by senior Elliott Koriath has been selected to be staged at the Skokie Theatre's fourth annual Short Play Festival this weekend.

Enredo
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6270048/Os irmãos Maik e Kevin Schäfer ganham a vida como ladrões e vigaristas em Berlim. Após um acordo falhado com o gangster Jurek, que lhes deixa 50.000 euros em dívida, Maik decide esconder-se. Para obter dinheiro, disfarça-se de maquinista e rouba aos passageiros de um comboio durante os controlos de bilhetes falsos. Quando é ameaçado de exposição, troca o seu uniforme pela batina de um padre que morreu sem ser notado no seu compartimento. Ele acaba na estação ferroviária da aldeia fictícia de Läuterberg. A governanta da paróquia Maria confunde-o com o novo padre que ela espera e acompanha-o à reitoria da paróquia católica.

Maik fica a saber que a paróquia tem uma monstruosidade incrivelmente valiosa. Ele quer roubá-la para utilizar o produto para pagar as suas dívidas a Jurek, que exerce uma pressão crescente sobre o seu irmão em Berlim. Ele faz vários planos para levar a cabo o roubo, que, no entanto, falham repetidamente devido a uma infeliz combinação de circunstâncias. Quando se descobre que a suposta obra de arte é falsa, o irmão de Maik, Kevin, também vem a Läuterberg. Juntos, os dois tentam encontrar uma nova forma de pagar a sua dívida para com Jurek.

A fim de manter a sua cobertura à medida que os acontecimentos se desenrolam, Maik participa no destino da comunidade como padre e resolve os problemas de uma forma não convencional. A situação é complicada pelo facto de se desenvolver um caso de amor entre Maik e a bonita directora do coro da igreja Eva Hellwarth, que é também uma mulher polícia.

Os acontecimentos chegam a um ponto alto quando o próprio Jurek finalmente chega a Läuterberg. Quando ele se engasga com um amendoim no vicariato, Boris, outro membro de um bando, faz uma aparição. Boris obriga Maik e Kevin a roubar com ele a agência bancária local. Os irmãos continuam por identificar, mas devido ao testemunho de uma funcionária do banco, a agente da polícia Eva Hellwarth consegue identificar Boris. Ao fugir, dispara um tiro contra a mulher polícia, mas é interceptado por Maik. Se a Maik sobrevive permanece em aberto no final da primeira época.

I am part of a dedicated team of researchers and bisexual community members looking to make a difference. Over the last seven years, our team at CAMH has collaborated with Rainbow Health Ontario and other community partners on projects related to bisexual mental health.
Being discriminated against by someone you love and/or trust is an incredibly hurtful experience and causes significant stress. It can trigger mental health problems or make existing mental health issues worse.
However, we have also heard of extremely positive encounters from bisexual people, affirming how important it is to have loving, respectful and non-judgmental people in their lives who accept them for who they are. These loving relationships keep bisexual people healthy. That is why we made these films.
We created 3 videos that feature bisexual people talking with friends, family and partners about the difference these loving relationships have made in their lives. We also created a video of service providers discussing the importance of bisexual knowledge, sensitivity and cultural competence in healthcare, social services and policy.
These videos are a part of the This is Our Community campaign which aims to provide positive images of bisexuality and encourage individuals to support bisexual people in their communities.
We hope these videos will inspire and encourage people to love and support bisexual people.
You can help us improve bisexual health by sharing these videos with your community. We invite you to screen these videos at upcoming film events, use them in educational settings and workshops, share them on social media, and/or announce them in your newsletter or email lists.
Visit www.bisexualhealth.ca and join us in ending bisexual stigma.

Future Startup 'Under 35' is an annual list and extensive coverage of young people under the age of 35 who have done great work in the field of agriculture, business, society, media, education, medicine, science, and technology, art and culture etc and contributed to building a better Bangladesh.
We published our debut list of 'Under 35' in 2015 and it has drawn huge attention from the country and abroad. It was shared by more than 10,000+ people online within the first two weeks and read by thousands of people.
'Under 35' is one of the most powerful and best such lists made in Bangladesh to portray the accomplishments of young people.
The list brings together best young leaders, connect them with each other, and help collaboration happen with a vision to build a better tomorrow.
Following the huge success of 2015, we are preparing the 'Under 35' list for 2016 and we are calling for nominations and applications.
We are looking for people who have stories to tell, who have done great work and whose work has a pervasive impact on the community and society.
We are looking for people who faced difficulties, shown grit, outperformed challenges, failed but never gave up.
In 2016, we are making the 'Under 35' list even bigger and better. This year, while putting together a great list, we are also sharing stories of extraordinary young people doing great work. But we can't do it alone. We need your help.
Extended Deadline: Please nominate/apply by October 15th, 2016.
Please share this far and wide to your friends and colleagues — the more people this reaches, the better the list will be.

Threatened by Omicron, EU states urged to test more as some lag
Francesco Guarascio
November 30, 2021, 4:48 a.m. ·2 min read
FILE PHOTO: European Parliament plenary session in Strasbourg
By Francesco Guarascio
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union's health commissioner has urged governments to boost efforts to detect coronavirus mutations, as some lag behind even as the new Omicron variant is detected around the bloc.
The variant first found in southern Africa has now been identified in several European countries, but it is hard to track its spread as various countries do not carry out sufficient genome sequencing of positive samples.
"Certain Member States lag behind considerably in terms of this crucial dimension," Stella Kyriakides said in a letter seen by Reuters to health ministers of the 27 EU countries.
She urged all member states to do more.
Genomic sequencing decodes genes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome to tell scientists which variant might be present, allowing them to monitor mutations and learn more about the virus.
Kyriakides did not name the laggards, but data from the European Centre for Disease prevention and Control (ECDC) show that in the first half of November seven EU countries did not sequence at a sufficient level. They were Finland, Greece, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Cyprus, Lithuania and Ireland.
Belgium, the first European country to detect the Omicron variant, identified the case by sequencing just 3% of positive tests, and has a capacity for about 10%, in line with many other EU states, the virologist who spotted the variant there, Marc Van Ranst, told Reuters.
In the Nov. 29 letter, Kyriakides urged ministers to vaccinate faster and offer boosters urgently.
"Already faced with a challenging winter due to the high transmissibility of the Delta variant (..) we may now experience further or additional pressures because of the appearance of the Omicron variant," she wrote.
DON'T FORGET THE SEWAGE
Kyriakides also encouraged national authorities to test more people both with molecular and rapid tests. Testing identifies infected individuals and is also the first step before sequencing.
"The monitoring of waste water has also proven to be an effective tool providing key insights, and needs to be leveraged in the diagnostic effort," she added.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that widely-available tests are able to detect individuals infected with any variant, including Omicron. However, it has so far only recommended the TaqPath test produced by U.S. firm Thermo Fisher as a proxy.
That test can identify the mutation usually linked to Omicron, called S gene dropout. That allows for targeting a limited number of samples for sequencing, which is still necessary to ascertain if it is Omicron, because the S gene dropout occurs also in other variants.
The Belgian lab that detected the Omicron variant used a Thermo Fisher testing machine, but it is unclear how widespread its use is in Europe. The company declined to say how many tests it had sold and to how many countries in Europe, citing its policy not to disclose customer data.

Alfred Hitchcock was a Creepy Old Man Claims Former Starlet
Funny story written by Zako Strle

To this day, Hedren Retains Her Fondess of Birds.
Tippi Hedren, former starlet of the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds claims that Hitchcock was a creepy old man.
"He was constantly ogling at me and making wear low cut tops and he arranged the cameras so he could see my cleavage," claims Hedren.
"This makes no sense," said a film critic who asked to remain anonymous, "How could an old morbidly obese horror film auteur, who was obsessed with gore and murder and young platinum blond bombshells, possibly be considered creepy? Someone needs to explain this to me, because I just don't get it."
Another critic echoed this sentiment. "I have to question this woman's credibility. Afterall, Janet Leigh did 34 nude takes in the shower murder scene in the Hitchcock classic Psycho and we didn't hear her complaining about sexual harassment."
When Hedren wouldn't submit to Hitchcock's lecherous advances, she claims he forced her to work with live birds for five days for the film's attic scene. "Those birds pooped all over me!" exclaimed Hedren.
The film critics discounted such claims as poppycock. "It is well documented that when the film was over, Tippi Hedren was so enamored by birds that she gladly accepted a flock of parakeets as a gift from Hitchcock."

Bantams digging for gold
YELLOWKNIFE Yukon's bantam hockey team is headed to a gold ulu showdown with Alberta North tonight, after putting the NWT on ice last night in…
Mar. 15, 2008 3:00 a.m.
Yukon's bantam hockey team is headed to a gold ulu showdown with Alberta North tonight, after putting the NWT on ice last night in the semi-finals at the Yellowknife multiplex.
Yukon's crisp passing and unshakable focus led to a solid 5-2 win over NWT.
Yukon players are looking forward to the final game rematch — they skated to a 1-1 tie against Alberta North in the round-robin.
"It's good to get another chance to beat them, because we know we can," said forward David Stephens, who scored two unassisted goals in Thursday's semi-final.
The Alberta squad does not phase them.
"I thought they'd be a lot better than they are," said left-winger Bryden Cook.
"We're pleased with the way we're playing right now," said coach Dave Pearson.
The team came out of the round-robin with one win and three ties — undefeated, but in third place in the standings.
Although the team played well throughout its games, some unlucky bounces kept them off the scorecard.
"Lots of goalposts!" said Yukon coach Jim Stephens with a grin.
"Bantam hockey is a funny sport, we could have easily won or lost those games," added Pearson.
"We missed a lot of opportunities; if we would have finished, we would have won it," said right-winger Gib Pearson.
"We'd probably be the best team here."
The Whitehorse bantam Mustangs and Team Yukon are essentially one and the same, and the Mustangs have had a stellar season thus far.
"We've won 75 per cent of our games … that's pretty good for a team from Whitehorse," said coach Pearson. The team has spent significant time on the road, playing tournaments in Kelowna, Comox and Edmonton. The experience shows on the ice.
"It's about confidence; when they go to the net and shoot with some conviction, the puck seems to work better for them — when they're not confident, they're back on their heels and gripping their sticks a little bit and missing the shots they should get."
It's not all about winning for the bantams, however.
The Arctic Games offer the players a different feel than any other tournament they've been to.
"You get a chance to meet the other athletes, and get to know them a bit, everyone's been really nice," said Bryden Cook.
If the Arctic Games isn't enough hockey for this team, they head to the BC/Yukon provincials before the sweat dries from the final.
"Half an hour after the game's over, we hit the plane for Summerland, BC, for the provincial championships — we've got 12 games in 10 days, back to back," said coach Pearson.
"We've been outskating every team out there," said David Stephens, when asked about his team's chances at the provincials.
"Seeing as how we've been playing lately, I think we might do pretty good," added Gib Pearson.
Any thought of skipping the Arctics to prepare for the provincials was not even entertained.
"These kids missed the chance to come to the Arctics when they were in peewee, so it's the first time for all of them, and they weren't going to miss it — for sure."
