Some pictures from the last few months. I need to get better at bringing my camera with me everywhere I go. I was when I lived in Oslo, but I've been so busy since I moved to London, so I keep forgetting all the time. Promise I'm going to get better at it, so I can show you a bit more from my everyday life here in London. In the mean time, you can follow me on Instagram, I'm quite good at keeping it updated, seeing as I bring my phone with me everywhere, obviously.
Also, I saw the other day that I'm nominated as a finalist in Vixen Blog Awards, which made me really happy! So now I'm going to Oslo next week to attend the finale, which is going to be so much fun!
fint fint fint. du er så jævelig flink!
så fantastiske bilder. ser utrolig fint ut!


The scandal over contaminated eggs in Germany is growing. To protect their customers from the toxic Fipronil, the discounter Aldi has pulled all eggs from its stores. But what exactly is Fipronil?
Fipronil is an insecticide that - in an ideal world - should never find its way into a chicken coop. But somehow it got mixed in with "Dega 16," a cleaning agent and sanitizer used on many poultry farms. The cleaning agent has not only been used for pest control in the Netherlands, but also in the German state of Lower Saxony, where eggs are now being thoroughly examined to see if they contain traces of Fipronil. Farms where the chemical was sprayed have been closed and eggs pulled from stores.
"Fipronil should never have been used around chickens," Leif Miller, director of the German environment association NABU (Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union) said in a press statement. "But this new scandal doesn't come as a surprise. The European Union needs to fundamentally change their agrarian- and food policies, so that ecological and nature-friendly farming becomes worthwhile again."
Fipronil is highly toxic and used as a pesticide to protect crops as well as in veterinary medicine to kill off fleas, lice, ticks, roaches and mites. It is not allowed anywhere near animals in the food production chain, including chicken. Fipronil is also dangerous for honey bees. To protect the endangered insects, the use of Fipronil on corn seeds has long been prohibited.
The insecticide can be absorbed by the skin or ingested orally. Eating eggs contaminated by Fipronil can lead to liver, kidney and thyroid damage. Having said that you would need ingest a large proportion of eggs. Those who did might have to deal with irritated eyes and skin, nausea and vomiting.
With current Fipronil levels, Germany's Federal Institute for Risk Assessment estimates that a child who weighs around 16 kilograms (35 pounds) could eat 1.7 eggs per day without reaching the threshold where Fipronil levels become dangerous. This includes products that contain egg, like pancakes or pasta. An adult who weights 65 kilograms could eat seven eggs a day.
The levels currently measured in contaminated eggs aren't very high and thus not dangerous for adults, however authorities and experts have advised parents to not let their children eat contaminated eggs.
How did Fipronil get into the eggs?
If a pest infestation at a farm is treated with Fipronil, the animals' skin - or feathers, in case of chickens - could absorb the insecticide. Traces can then also be found in animal products, like eggs. Through "Dega 16," Fipronil got into the chickens and thus into the eggs as well.
How do you recognize Fipronil-contaminated eggs?
In the European Union, every egg is stamped with a number. That's how consumers can retrace the country of origin and even which farm the egg is from. German media have published lists of the numbers that mark contaminated eggs.
Millions of Dutch eggs contaminated with insecticide have made it into the German market. From eggs to horsemeat, strawberries to sprouts, DW takes a look at recent food scandals that have affected the country.

Home / MORe / Risk Management / Tort Liabilty Act / Procedures Under the Act
Reviewed Date: January 23, 2019
The remainder of the act provides the procedures for making claims against governmental entities and for determining liability, limitations on liability, and the means of satisfying claims or judgments. An important provision relates to employee liability.
A governmental entity or employee is given 60 days to answer or otherwise respond to a claim, action, or suit. If the claim is denied, the claimant may institute an action in the circuit court. This action must commence within 12 months after the cause of action arises. A significant provision gives circuit courts exclusive original jurisdiction over any action brought under the act (except in Shelby County where General Sessions Court has concurrent jurisdiction up to jurisdictional limits), and the action is heard and decided without jury intervention, unless a non-governmental defendant also is sued. In these cases, any party may request a jury.
Suits filed under the act must be brought in the county where the governmental entity is located or in the county in which the incident occurred from which the cause of action arises. A governmental entity operating in more than one county shall be deemed to be located in the county where its principal office is located.
An officer or body appointed by the governing body of any governmental entity may, subject to such regulations and procedures as may be prescribed by the governing body, compromise and settle any action for damages or relief sought under the act. If no such appointment has been made, the chief administrative officer of the governmental entity shall be deemed to have been appointed and to have such power. T.C.A.§ 29-20-309.
Before holding a governmental entity liable for damages, the court must first determine that:
the employee act (s) was (were) negligent and the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injury;
the employee(s) acted within the scope of his (their) employment; and
none of the exceptions is applicable. T.C.A. §§ 29-20-301–313.
Several sections of the act deal with paying claims or judgments against governmental entities. Any claims approved for payment by a governmental entity or any final judgment obtained against a governmental entity shall be paid from funds appropriated or reserved for that purpose. At the governmental entity's discretion, claims may be paid in not more than 10 equal, annual installments commencing the next fiscal year or in such other manner agreed upon by the claimant and governmental entity. Installment payments shall bear interest at 6 percent per annum on the unpaid balance. If the judgment is less than $5,000, a lump sum payment must be made. T.C.A. § 29-20-312.

Ferrari still seeking answers on new parts claims team boss Mattia Binotto
PHortonF1
Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto says the team is still eager to understand the full picture of its upgrade package, in the wake of a so-so display at the French Grand Prix.
Binotto cautioned prior to the weekend that Ferrari was unlikely to be in the mix for victory and that its new components were going to be a small step, as it strives to improve the SF90.
Binotto's words proved prescient as Charles Leclerc took third while Sebastian Vettel was fifth, and not all the parts tested during Friday practice were kept on the car.
"We were expecting a difficult race weekend in Paul Ricard," said Binotto.
"We said it's a circuit that is pretty similar to Barcelona in some respects and if you look at last year we were as poor in Paul Ricard as we were in Barcelona so I think in that respect we improved a bit, not yet sufficiently but we were not expecting to close the gap at all in Paul Ricard.
"We brought some upgrades, some of them worked well, others not. We removed the floor from the car after Friday practices.
"I think it's always a shame when something is not working so we've got some homework to do in that respect but that's ensuring that we've got some margin to improve the car.
"At least the direction that we are starting to set is the right one. Still much to do but overall I think that I cannot say it was a positive weekend but I think not too bad as well considering initial expectations."
He added: "I don't think we've got all the answers from the weekend because the floor was not working properly and somehow there is a lack of answers. We will still work on that one.
"I think we'll have some test items again in Austria, to try and better understand. I think we will fully understand normally when all the parts fully work as expected."
Ferrari is now 140 points behind Mercedes, with Vettel 76 points adrift of runaway leader Lewis Hamilton, but the four-time champion stressed that the outfit has to keep pushing.
"Sometimes we move a step ahead, unfortunately, this weekend some bits didn't work but overall I think the pressure is there and the ambition is there to keep improving," he outlined.
"If it was easy we would do it overnight and we would've done it already a lot of races ago.
"But it's not easy but obviously they're [Mercedes] very, very strong and currently showing the limits to all the other teams so it's up to us to come up with solutions and make our car faster so we can put more pressure on them."


While I was chatting to the owner of Imaginarium Art (IA) the other day we spoke about the licences they held and one of the names was Mephesto. Now I am a huge Silver Surfer fan and Mephesto was one of his earliest villains.
So I am really excited about this news, but is there enough love and popularity for the character to warrant IA making one?
I have always been a fan of the 1/6 statue by Bowen Designs, but for my collection it was always a bit too small.
I have been told that IA has the licence to make this piece in a few scales.
What scale would you like to see this piece in?
Throne, standing museum or dynamic?


When it is raining, pavement markings applied with standard optics (glass beads) can not be seen at night. Wet reflectivity is the term given to the ability of a pavement marking to be seen at night in the rain. Both preformed tape and liquids can be applied to be wet reflective. With the use of manufactured "elements" or "clusters" wet reflectivity can be achieved. The elements or clusters are applied by use of a special application gun and are applied at very specific rates. Pavement markings applied to produce wet reflectivity should always be recessed.


Major bleeds must be treated with tranexamic acid (TXA) as fast as possible since deaths occur quickly and the drug's life-saving benefits diminish with each passing minute, according to a new study published in The Lancet.
The study, led by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, builds on evidence from two of their large-scale international randomised trials looking at the effect of tranexamic acid in life threatening bleeding. The WOMAN trial (2017),  which involved 20,000 women with postpartum haemorrhage, and CRASH-2 (2010)  - a trial of 20,000 trauma patients. Both trials showed that tranexamic acid reduces death due to bleeding by a third when given within three hours.
However, analysing data from 40,138 patients from the two trials combined, the new study found that treatment must be given within minutes rather than hours. Immediate treatment with tranexamic acid improved bleeding survival by 70% but thereafter the survival benefit decreases by 10% for every 15 minutes' delay until three hours, after which there was no benefit.
There were a total of 3,558 deaths in the two trials, of which 1,408 (40%) were from bleeding. Most (63%, n=884) bleeding deaths occurred within 12 hours of onset. Deaths from postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) peaked 2-3 hours after childbirth.
Following a detailed review of the evidence, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published updated recommendations on the use of tranexamic acid.  The previous guidelines in 2012 - before the WOMAN Trial results were known - recommended use of tranexamic acid if other treatments failed. It now strongly recommends early use of intravenous tranexamic acid (within three hours of birth) in addition to standard care for women with clinically-diagnosed PPH following vaginal birth or caesarean section. WHO also highlighted the need for all health systems, regardless of their level of resources, to recognise that tranexamic acid is a life-saving intervention that should be made readily available for PPH management wherever emergency obstetric care is provided.
Senior study author, Professor Ian Roberts from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: "Severe bleeding must be treated urgently - minutes matter, and using tranexamic acid quickly has the potential to save thousands of lives.
"Trauma patients should be treated by paramedics at the scene of injury - many patients are getting TXA when they arrive at hospital which is often too late. For women with postpartum haemorrhage, bleeding deaths peak at two hours, so it is crucial that tranexamic acid is given as soon as life-threatening bleeding is diagnosed."
Speaking at the event will be Her Excellency Toyin Saraki, Founder-President of Wellbeing Foundation Africa and ambassador for the International Confederation of Midwives. The Nigerian philanthropist and maternal health campaigner said: "PPH is a major problem in Nigeria and across much of Africa, so it is extremely important that we can find practical solutions which could improve the chances of survival. I am delighted that we now have even more evidence about the potential benefits of tranexamic acid - which is simple to administer, safe and relatively inexpensive compared with patented medicines. Now we need to make sure it's made available."
As part of the event, a unique art installation will be unveiled to raise awareness of postpartum haemorrhage and the need for urgent treatment. The 'Blood Clock' is created by Consultant Obstetrician Dr Graham Tydeman, who regularly deals with the problem of blood loss in childbirth.
Every six minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman dies from PPH. Dr Tydeman's installation graphically illustrates the number of deaths in a striking and thought provoking way.
The two-metre high brass and clear acrylic Blood Clock is a mechanical sculpture using materials gathered from maternity wards or inspired by the issue of PPH and the tranexamic acid research. Fake blood fills newborn baby cots discarded by a maternity hospital - this then tips out every six minutes moving the hands of the clock, which represents a woman bleeding to death. A digital display counts the total number of deaths.
Dr Tydeman made the Blood Clock in his workshop at his home in Fife, Scotland, taking inspiration from his day job as consultant and clinical lead in the department of obstetrics and Gynaecology, NHS Fife. He said: "PPH is challenging to predict and treat at the best of times, but in countries with limited health facilities and blood supplies the outcomes for women are far worse. Scientific evidence is vital in enabling doctors to save lives. We now know that tranexamic acid is safe and effective but must be given urgently - I hope the Blood Clock will help convey the importance of the WOMAN trial findings and the need for timely treatment."
As part of the systematic review the authors identified a total of 13 trials on tranexamic acid conducted between 1946 and 2017, but the ones included in this meta-analysis were the only two trials to assess the impact of time to treatment on treatment effectiveness.
The authors explain that because treatment delay may be underestimated in trauma (many injuries are unwitnessed), and overestimated in post-partum haemorrhage (birth is taken as the time of bleeding onset), they did sensitivity analyses to test a range of plausible errors. Their results support the conclusion that prompt treatment is essential.
Funding for the research was provided by UK NIHR Health Technology Assessment programme, Pfizer, BUPA Foundation, and J P Moulton Charitable Foundation (CRASH-2). UK Department of Health, Wellcome Trust, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Pfizer and LSHTM (WOMAN).
The trial included 20,000 women in 193 hospitals across 21 countries.

Isles MP walks out of PMQs in protest
Na h-Eileanan an Iar MP Angus MacNeil joined his SNP colleagues in walking out of the House of Commons yesterday (Wednesday) following repeated attempts by the Tory government to silence Scotland's voice on Brexit.
Angus MacNeil MP with SNP Westminster Group Leader Ian Blackford MP and his SNP colleagues outside the Parliamentary Estate following the walk out from Prime Minister's Questions.
Mr MacNeil joined the SNP's Westminster Leader Ian Blackford MP in protest, after the Speaker asked him to leave during Prime Minister's Questions.
Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP Ian Blackford called for the House of Commons to sit in private, following the Prime Minister's failure to bring forward emergency legislation on Brexit to ensure the Scottish Parliament's position is considered as the UK leaves the EU.
Mr MacNeil said Scotland's voice needed to be heard as Brexit will have major implications for vital sectors such fishing and crofting.
He said: "I walked out of the House of Commons because Scotland – and my constituents – have been silenced on Brexit.
"The UK Government's Brexit legislation ignores the will of the Scottish Parliament and devolution as we know it – which the people of Na h-Eileanan an Iar, indeed, the whole of Scotland, voted overwhelmingly for.
"Westminster needs to realise they can't push Scotland about. We're not in a union of equals and enough is enough.
"Currently we have boats without crews that cannot go to sea due to lack of support from the UK Government in addressing this issue – after Brexit we could have only EU boats in our waters.
"The Westminster Parliament is going to grab powers over agriculture as those powers come back from the EU and this could have serious repercussions for crofting.
"The UK government's shambolic Brexit is putting jobs and livelihoods at risk and the SNP is the only party who will stand up for Scotland."


Stein and Reform Party candidate Roque "Rocky" De La Fuente separately filed recount requests late Friday in Wisconsin — the state's first ever for a presidential race — on the final day they were able to do so. As liberals raised fears about hacked voting machines, Stein has raised more than $5 million to pay for recounts here and in Michigan and Pennsylvania, where recount deadlines are next week. That's more than the $3.5 million she raised as a candidate.
The push for recounts came as some questioned Trump's wins in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. But election experts noted that voting patterns in those states were similar to ones in other Midwestern states such as Iowa and Ohio.
Unofficial vote tallies in the three states show GOP nominee Donald Trump won Michigan by fewer than 12,000 votes, Wisconsin by fewer than 30,000 votes and Pennsylvania by fewer than 70,000 votes. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would have to win recounts in all three states to receive enough electoral votes to win the presidency, a remote possibility.
A federal "safe harbor" law requires presidential recounts to be completed within 35 days of the election. This year that's Dec. 13, two weeks and a day from this coming Monday.
Wisconsin law allows any candidate to seek a recount. The candidate has to pay if he or she lost by more than 0.25%, hence Stein's fundraising. She estimates a Wisconsin recount would cost $1.1 million.
Michigan's price tag could be about $787,500, based on a 2014 law that put the bill at $125 per precinct when the margin of a race is more than half a percentage point. Michigan has 6,300 precincts.
Pennsylvania is being targeted even with its wider Trump victory margin because two-thirds of the state's counties, including its most populous, use electronic voting machines that don't leave a paper trail. Experts have demonstrated that such machines can be hacked even without being hooked up to the Internet. Similar machines are scattered in some of the smaller counties in Wisconsin. About 1 in 10 votes in the state's April presidential primary came from such machines.
All of Michigan's voting machines have paper ballots that can be recounted, election officials there said. An article this week in New York magazine contended that Clinton received 7% fewer votes in counties with electronic voting compared to those with paper ballots.
Hitting a Dec. 13 federal deadline to certify electoral votes — 10 in Wisconsin, 16 in Michigan and 20 in Pennsylvania — could be particularly tricky in a by-hand recount, Wisconsin's top election official said. County boards of canvassers, which likely will have to work nights and weekends, will do the recounts. Elections officials in three states will have to move quickly if the Green Party's presidential nominee, Jill Stein, is able to force a recount to be conducted by hand.
More important than the Dec. 13 federal deadline is Dec. 19 — three weeks from Monday — when electors across the USA must meet to cast their Electoral College votes, said Edward Foley, an expert in election law at Ohio State University.
"You may potentially have the state electoral votes at stake if it doesn't get done by then," said Michael Haas, the administrator of the Wisconsin Election Commission. A lawyer with Stein's campaign has said she wants the recount done by hand, something that Haas said would require a judge's order in Wisconsin and take longer in general.
Stein received just 1% of the vote in each of the three states. De La Fuente had about 1,500 votes in Wisconsin, a fraction of a percent of those cast here, and he was not on the ballot in the other two states.
It's been nearly five decades since Michigan has had a statewide recount, most recently when the state's voters rejected daylight saving time in 1968 by 490 votes. This time, nearly 4.8 million presidential-race votes would have to be counted by hand at the county level under state supervision.
Wisconsin's most recent statewide recount was in 2011 for a state Supreme Court seat, and the outcome did not change. The recount showed Justice David Prosser defeated challenger JoAnne Klopenburg by 7,004 votes — a slightly tighter margin than the 7,316-vote victory he had in initial returns.
In recounts, typically both candidates gain votes, in part because absentee ballots that weren't counted initially get tallied, said political scientist Barry Burden, director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Some absentee ballots don't get counted at first because they were damaged or had extra marks on them. The judicial recount took more than a month. This time Wisconsin election officials will have nearly double the number of votes, 3 million, to go through, Burden said.
"Jill Stein's decision to pursue a recount is absurd and nothing more than an expensive political stunt that undermines Wisconsin's election process," Mark Morgan, executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party, said in a statement.

I agree that the mass media is highly biased, inaccurate and unreliable, but that is also a result of the masses being too gullible to think beyond their noses.
And unfortunately, election campaigns have become nasty and personal, instead of focusing on government policies, because people, in general, have lost all sense of decency.
Regarding the Benghazi incident in 2012, in retrospect it became clear that what caused the death of the US ambassador and 3 other Americans, was both BO's and Hillary's lack of a decision...they refused to acknowledge the seriousness of what was happening, and didn't think it was necessary for a carrier - that was on close standby - to intervene. At the time she said it was "not a coordinated terrorist attack, but a spontaneous attack of violence born out of a protest of an anti-Islamic video"…so it was unimportant ? that made it less dangerous ? ...and, as Secretary of State she had also rejected previous appeals to heighten security…I remember the hearings held afterwards to get to the bottom of it, and both BO and Hillary were less than honest in their attempt to cover their incompetence ; there was no doubt in the Navy's mind that had they been allowed to act, the outcome would have been quite different. Given the scenario in the region, anyone in her position should have acted very differently...but the government 'machine' intervened to brush it aside as a 'fatality', that no one could foresee...and that's it ?
Well, I think the democraPs are throwing US$ 5 million down the toilet....It funny that the democrats now support the theory that voting fraud is possible, considering the fact that has caused them to acknowledge such a possibility, and contradicting their initial repulse to such a suggestion ...just hope that when they realize they've thrown their money away, they'll settle down and keep quiet.
Agree. Many sources on the internet are just there to plant fake news....looking for other sources to corroborate, or to disqualify the information, is what someone with a minimum IQ would do...but today, listening to people being interviewd on the streets, you get a good idea of just how ignorant the majority of people are.
It was notorious that under the PT (govts), many bloggers were paid milions every year, just to plant selected pieces of fake news on the internet , favouring the PT and criticizing the opposition...those who swallowed it, hook, line and sinker, as usual, were the ignoramus'.

All of us want to thank all of you for the wonderful care you provided to Mother. Although we thought we were, we were not prepared to help Mother during this stage of her life. You relieved us of much of the burden. We and Mother are very fortunate to have learned about Buckingham South.
W.B., J.B., S.K., N.B., R.B.
Just a note to say hello and to thank you, your staff, and all the residents for being just wonderful to me and to my wife. All of you are doing a great service and you all are very much appreciated.
Always the best to all of you!
It's hard to thank people like all of you – you were so kind and thoughtful to my brother. I know he appreciated your friendship very much and so do I.
Thank you for your kind words and more for the loving care you and your staff showed Mom at Buckingham. She loved all of you and knew she had a second family around her. Indeed, she had a wonderful home in Savannah!
Just a note to thank you so much for your care and concern for all of the S family. You are, indeed, an angel who has put us back together physically and also emotionally. Dr. G is wonderful and thanks for bringing him into our lives.
Thanks again and lots of love.
I want to thank you again for the excellent care that you and your staff provided to my father. I cannot imagine a more thoughtful and professional organization than the one you have at Buckingham South. I am so happy that my father was able to enjoy the last few months of his life in your care. May G-d go with you always.
Your kindness and friendship that you provided to my mother and myself over the last year will never be forgotten. Mother felt very safe and well cared for which was our main objective. However, we felt that you and your staff provided much more than good care.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for all of your attention and concern that you gave mother. I always knew that you enjoyed Mother and wanted only the best for her. She was a very special lady and I miss her terribly, but I know that she was ready to leave us. Like most things in her life, she did it her way and tried as best she could not to be a burden. She was so brave and patient, always kind and thoughtful. I would like to think that I could follow in her footsteps.
I feel blessed to have had you as a part of Mother's last year of life. I know that she felt the same. I want to come by and have a visit with you and all of your wonderful staff. I hope that I can do this soon, but I am not ready yet. In the meantime, know that I think of you often and appreciate everything you have done for Mother and myself.
Please accept my deepest appreciation to you and your numerous staff members for the service and caring assistance you gave to my Mother. She had lived alone for a very long time, and it was not an easy change for her. But you and your staff went out of your way and gave special efforts in helping her to feel welcome and comforted. It is truly a blessing to have Buckingham South in our community.
My mind and heart travel each day with all of you and the wonderful residents.
Bruce and I do thank you and send many good wishes for your continued gentle and loving service to our seniors.
I am so grateful for the kind, compassionate, and professional treatment I received during my recent visit at your fine facility.
Your staff, the food, the friendly services must be the best in your industry, and most assuredly reflect your top notch leadership and ability to attract first rate associates.
May G-d's blessings surround you every day.
You have a very warm and congenial personnel and the atmosphere is compassionate and considerate. This was the best thing that could have happened to my sister, moving from the other place, as she was slowly dwindling away. Here, she is around lots of people and activity.
My heartfelt thanks for all the compassion and caring you provided to my dad and to our family over the last several months. You truly made a painful situation not only bearable, but pleasant through your kindness and understanding. Your attentiveness and responsiveness to both little details as well as larger medical issues were with professionalism with southern hospitality. Buckingham South was the perfect place for my dad if he could no longer live at home.
My thanks to all your staff; particularly to Frank for his kindness and actions, to John for always being there to transport Dad wherever he needed to go, and to Vicki for her help with everything from getting a motorized chair to keeping all the medicine orders squared away.
Rita, thank you, for your compassion and patience you show to everyone. We are very grateful.
I want to thank you for your patience, support and concern during the hard time for our family. We are fortunate to have found a warm, welcoming home for Mother.
It was both a pleasant and inspiring experience to enjoy your many attentions and to watch your amazing work and management ethic in action.
Your positive attitude was contagious and helped me greatly.
Savannah is fortunate to have the Slatus family based in our city.
Thank you Rita for all the kindness you showed Naomi during her stay at Buckingham. She was so happy there.
I wanted to write and thank you, Julie, Wanda and all the staff at Buckingham South for everything you did for my Dad.
You all were so good to him there and I know he was happy in his short time there. It made all of us feel better knowing he was in a caring environment I wish he had a chance to come back and really settle in but that is not always meant to be.
From the time you took him in that Sunday morning in April, when he needed a place right through his hospital stay, you were there. I can't tell you how much that meant to Elizabeth, Harriet, and I. Again, thank you for everything.
I'm one of Ida's granddaughters, and I want to thank you soooo much for being such a special friend to my Grandmother and to all who make Buckingham their home. My Grandma has been telling me about your kindness since that first time you called her in Atlanta. I can feel her lighting up when she talks about you. And she looks so forward to your Saturday study class.
When I visited everyone with Buckingham was so friendly. I was excited with all of the activities and how someone informs Grandma each time to attend them. Allison Beasley is amazing! I joined in with her aerobics class and she should make a video – I know it would be very popular.
Also, I want to thank you for offering to help me many years ago. I'm sure you wouldn't remember this, but I do. You felt that I needed someone to talk to and you let me know that you were there for me. Well you were right and I didn't have the courage to admit it, but it meant so MUCH to me that you cared…thus you also helped in this way.
Anyway, I just want to thank you for all that you do. It truly shows that you love what you do. You are a much needed inspiration!
On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you all for the wonderful care you gave my mother during her stay with you. Everyone was so very helpful and caring, whether for "official" duties or for the "extras" that were so appreciated. Knowing Mother as I did, the personal care she was given made her feel special, and not so afraid of being away from her home. I have no doubt that the care and concern exhibited by all of you made her last months more bearable.
On behalf of the S family, I would like to thank all of you for taking such great care of Dorothy She thinks the world of all of you. Your kindness and consideration are much appreciated during this crucial time in Mother's life.
Thank you all for the many acts of kindness shown to our mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother, Dora. She was very fond of you all and we have many good memories of her time at Buckingham South.
I have meant to do this since the first day we spoke. I was both impressed and very moved by your caring and knowledge of the residents. They were not "room so-and-so," they had histories and families (or not), and individual situations, you were intimately aware of each. That is so very rare in our "modern" world. It is good to see human beings who care for and about others, especially in dealing with elders.
Indians have two terms for those who care: "Strong hearts" are those who make it their responsibility to look out for those in difficulty, and the other is the term "Cante Ista" (pronounced like Shanta ieshta) meaning to see with the single eye of the heart. We honor those who show these traits. Please know that the good you do for the good old ones is honored and truly admired.
Sincerely, She speaks for peace.
The last few times I was in to visit Mrs. Wolf you were in the room caring for her. Your ready smile and gentle handling of this fragile old woman impressed me. It is good to know respected elders are being cared for with joyful hearts and compassionate hands.
It must be very hard to sit in a room day after day with only total strangers for occasional companions. Human touch must be a wonderful, precious thing to these lonely individuals. How comforting that their families can trust you to do the 1,001 things you do for them every day to ease their days. I'm sure you hold a special place in their hearts, and much gratitude is owed you. I just wanted you to know someone did know and notice and is grateful for all you do.
I wanted to write and express my deepest thanks to all of you who have their warmth, tenderness and unselfish devotion while caring for my mom while she lived at Buckingham.
I always felt she was in the loving hands of people who had a genuine concern for her and with my being so far away, that meant so much to me as her daughter.
Thank you for being the surrogate family and giving her final days meaning by the dignity and devotion you gave.
G-d should bless you with good health and strength to carry on the work you do.
Thank you for the time and personal attention you gave me and my Mother at Buckingham South on Sunday. The beautiful surroundings, program, and your personal knowledge of and interest in the residents make me think that mom will be happy ad safe at Buckingham South!
It is so hard to write notes like these – how does one thank someone properly who has gone above and beyond the necessary limits and did so without hesitation and unselfish means?
You have been wonderful to mommy in all the ways you've cared for her. No place can substitute for your own home, but Buckingham was a wonderful substitute for what we couldn't give her ourselves.
I certainly don't need to take space here to rave about the elegant and homelike atmosphere Buckingham provided. Mommy was treated with dignity and respect and when her needs exceeded the normal limits, you met them with love and a sincere desire to give her a quality of life one can only hope they have in their last days.
Thank you for all you've given to my mother and my family and may G-d bless you with strength to continue the blessed work you do.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful care and support you've given us. Its been a truly great experience. I've never met such a loving bunch of ladies in my life.
Buckingham South is the greatest place on Earth.
Some think the greatest place on Earth is Disney World but they haven't been to Buckingham. If I could ever be of any assistance, just give me a call.
I hardly know where to start thanking you and your staff for the tremendous kindness that you extended to my mother, Rachel, and to me and my family. I realize that mom was never easy, but you and your staff never (even once) lost patience with her.
We will never forget your love and kindness.
De. Juan and I have made a donation to Yad Sarah in honor of all of you. Do as much good work as you can for as long as you can, and God Bless you all.
There is no way to properly show enough gratitude for the wealth of kindness, patience, understanding and professionalism you and your staff have shown our family and for our father. You have gone above and beyond to make him comfortable, have helped us immeasurably with the complexities of his medical care and given him a safe and beautiful heaven to call home. When we witnessed what you have built and experienced the incredible service you are doing for so many people, we counted our lucky stars to have found you.
As I go through the year telling everyone how wonderful the people at Buckingham are, I realize that you aren't there to hear me give all these compliments. And it occurs to me that this time of year is a good time for me to share these comments with you.
My father has simply blossomed at Buckingham. You all started out by making him a place "at the lively dinner table" so that he could make friends and have entertaining dinner companions. You encourage my dad to attend Exercise Class and compliment him on answering the History and Geography trivia questions correctly. You call and remind him about class if he's late. Everyone makes sure he knows about all the offerings you have, and, stunningly, he attends many! And I am blessedly confident that you are checking to see that he eats his meals, that his room is clean, his clothes and sheets/towels are washed and dried and that his a/c filters are changed…and so on and so on. It would be impossible to enumerate all that you do and all of your work shows in his enjoyment of life. He is not only reading books and newspapers again, he even has people to discuss them with. He is relaxed and comfortable for the first time in years.
My mother has the safe environment that I wanted for her. The first time we called for assistance and two of your caregivers arrived, I almost cried with relief. Your staff, who know her so well and treat her with such kindness, were there to be the familiar face that let her relax and accept help when she needed it. For all this, I thank you for the life you have returned to me and the comfort you offer my mother. To know that my mother will attend any activities such as sing-along or ice cream socials is astonishing. There were four years when her only activity was to get her hair done once a week. She refused all other attempts, and yet you have succeeded where we failed.
I extend my thanks, my love, and my gratitude to you all you have not only improved the lives of my parents, but also my life. I wish for all of you to have the happiest and healthiest of new years.
In my 25 years of podiatry I have seen many, many homes for the elderly. I have however never seen a "facility" like this. I used quotation marks because you have built a palace for our senior citizens. I am very proud of you and congratulate this achievement.
I want you to know that my mother, E.F., will be leaving Buckingham South and returning to her home.
I am so grateful to your staff, especially the caregivers, who have assisted her so compassionately in her everyday routines. She has become stronger and better able to help herself than was the case when in mid-May she came to Buckingham from Memorial Rehabilitation Center. As I have been here with Mom almost every day that she has been here, sometimes into the evening, I have observed first had the care of thoughtful people around her.
I especially thank you and Cathy for your sensitive oversight.

This is a very early version of this section, it's still in it's fact finding stage so just consider it a collection of notes. I am curious about the pre 1600's. Someone somewhere must have distilled sugar cane before they started doing it in the Americas and I want more information about that.
Sugar has been produced in the Indian subcontinent since ancient times. It was not plentiful or cheap in early times and honey was more often used for sweetening in most parts of the world. Originally, people chewed raw sugarcane to extract its sweetness. Sugarcane was a native of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. Different species seem to have originated from different locations with Saccharum Barberi originating in India and Saccharum Edule and Saccharum Officinarum coming from New Guinea.
Sugar remained relatively unimportant until the Indians discovered methods of turning sugarcane juice into granulated crystals that were easier to store and to transport. Crystallized sugar was discovered by the time of the Imperial Guptas, around 5th century AD. Indian sailors, who carried clarified butter and sugar as supplies, introduced knowledge of sugar on the various trade routes they travelled. In South Asia, the Middle East and China, sugar became a staple of cooking and desserts.
The triumphant progress of Alexander the Great was halted on the banks of the Indus River by the refusal of his troops to go further east. They saw people in the Indian subcontinent growing sugarcane and making granulated, salt-like sweet powder, locally called Sharkara (Devanagari:शर्करा,Śarkarā), pronounced as saccharum (ζάκχαρι). On their return journey, the Macedonian soldiers carried the "honey bearing reeds" home with them. Sugarcane remained a little-known crop in Europe for over a millennium, sugar a rare commodity, and traders of sugar wealthy.
Crusaders brought sugar home with them to Europe after their campaigns in the Holy Land, where they encountered caravans carrying "sweet salt". Early in the 12th century, Venice acquired some villages near Tyre and set up estates to produce sugar for export to Europe, where it supplemented honey which had previously been the only available sweetener. In the 15th century, Venice was the chief sugar refining and distribution centre in Europe.
In August 1492, Christopher Columbus stopped at La Gomera in the Canary Islands, for wine and water, intending to stay only four days. He became romantically involved with the governor of the island, Beatriz de Bobadilla y Ossorio, and stayed a month. When he finally sailed, she gave him cuttings of sugarcane, which became the first to reach the New World.
The sugar cane plant was the main crop produced on the numerous plantations throughout the Caribbean through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, as almost every island was covered with sugar plantations and mills for refining the cane for its sweet properties. The main source of labor until the abolition of slavery was African slaves. These plantations produced 80 to 90 percent of the sugar consumed in Western Europe. In the 19th century sugar dominated Martinique, Grenada, Saint Croix, Jamaica, Barbados, Leeward Islands, Saint Domingue, Cuba, Guyana and many other islands that were run by French or British owners. During the late 19th and 20th centuries the sugarcane industry came to dominate Puerto Rico's economy, both under the colonial rule of Spain and the United States of America.
Sugar was the most important crop throughout the Caribbean, although other crops such as coffee, indigo, and rice were also grown. The sugar was best grown on relatively flat land that was near the coast where the soil was naturally yellow and fertile, so mountainous parts of the islands were less likely to be used for sugar.
In the mid-17th century sugar cane was brought into the British West Indies by the Dutch from Brazil. Upon landing in Barbados and other islands, they quickly urged local farmers to change their main crops from cotton and tobacco to sugar cane. With depressed prices of cotton and tobacco due mainly to stiff competition from the North American colonies, the farmers switched, leading to a boom in the Caribbean economies. Sugar was quickly snapped up by the British who used the sugar for cakes, and sweetener in teas.
During the colonial period, the arrival of sugar culture deeply impacted society and economy in the Caribbean. It not only dramatically increased the ratio of slaves to free men, but also the average size of slave plantations. Early sugar plantations made extensive use of slaves because sugar was considered a cash crop that exhibited economies of scale in cultivation; it was most efficiently grown on large plantations with many workers. As a result, slaves were imported from Africa to work on the plantations. For example, before 1650 more than three-quarters of the island's population was white. In 1680, the median size of a plantation in Barbados had increased to about 60 slaves. Over the decades, the sugar plantations became larger and larger. In 1832, the median plantation in Jamaica had about 150 slaves, and nearly one of every four bondsmen lived on units that had at least 250 slaves.
For about the next 100 years Barbados remained the richest of all the European colonies in the Caribbean region. The colony's prosperity remained regionally unmatched until sugar cane production grew in geographically larger countries such as Saint-Domingue, Jamaica and elsewhere. As part of the mass sugar production, the process gave rise to other related commodities such as rum, molasses, and Falernum.
In the 1740s, Jamaica and Saint-Domingue (Haiti) became the world's main sugar producers. They increased the production by using an irrigation system that French engineers built. The engineers also built reservoirs, diversion dams, levees, aqueductsand canals. In addition, they improved their mills and used varieties of cane and grasses.
After the abolition of slavery in Saint Domingue as a result of the Haitian Revolution, Cuba became the most substantial sugar plantation colony in the Caribbean, outperforming the British islands.
After slavery, sugar plantations used a variety of forms of labour including workers imported from India under contracts of indenture. In the 20th century, large-scale sugar production using wage labour continued in many parts of the region.
By the early 21st century many Caribbean islands were no longer producing sugar. However, sugar is still grown in Jamaica and Cuba, among other countries.
Sugar was a luxury in Europe prior to the 18th century, when it became more widely available. In 1795 Etienne de Bore and two Cuban workmen produced the first granulated sugar in Louisiana (and North America). This made it more usable for export and sugar became a major commodity crop in the colony (soon to be part of the United States.) By later in the 19th century, sugar became considered a necessity.
This evolution of taste and demand for sugar as an essential food ingredient unleashed major economic and social changes. It drove, in part, colonization of tropical islands and nations where labor-intensive sugarcane plantations and sugar manufacturing could thrive. The demand for cheap labor to perform the hard work involved in its cultivation and processing increased the demand for the slave trade from Africa (in particular West Africa). After slavery was abolished, there was high demand for indentured laborers from South Asia (in particular India). Millions of slave and indentured laborers were brought into the Caribbean and the Americas, Indian Ocean colonies, southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, and East Africa and Natal. The modern ethnic mix of many nations that have been settled in the last two centuries has been influenced by the demand for sugar.
During the Napoleonic Wars, sugar beet production increased in continental Europe because of the difficulty of importing sugar when shipping was subject to blockade. By 1880, the sugar beet was the main source of sugar in Europe. It was cultivated in Lincolshire and other parts of England, although the United Kingdom continued to import the main part of its sugar from its colonies.
The precursors to rum date back to antiquity. Development of fermented drinks produced from sugarcane juice is believed to have first occurred either in ancient India or China, and spread from there. An example of such an early drink is brum. Produced by the Malay people, brum dates back thousands of years. Marco Polo also recorded a 14th-century account of a "very good wine of sugar" that was offered to him in what is modern-day Iran.
The first distillation of rum took place on the sugarcane plantations of the Caribbean in the 17th century. Plantation slaves first discovered molasses, a byproduct of the sugar refining process, can be fermented into alcohol. Later, distillation of these alcoholic byproducts concentrated the alcohol and removed impurities, producing the first true rums. Tradition suggests rum first originated on the island of Barbados. However, in the decade of the 1620s, rum production was recorded in Brazil.
A 1651 document from Barbados stated, "The chief fuddling they make in the island is Rumbullion, alias Kill-Divil, and this is made of sugar canes distilled, a hot, hellish, and terrible liquor."
The origin of the word "rum" is generally unclear. The most probable origin is as a truncated version of rumbullion or rumbustion. Both words surfaced in English about the same time as rum did (Coromines states 1651 as the first recording of "rumbullion", and 1654 for "rum" -1770 for the first recording in Spanish of ron), and were slang terms for "tumult" or "uproar".
Regardless of the original source, the name was already in common use by 1654, when the General Court of Connecticut ordered the confiscations of "whatsoever Barbados liquors, commonly called rum, kill devil and the like". A short time later in May 1657, the General Court of Massachusetts also decided to make illegal the sale of strong liquor "whether knowne by the name of rumme, strong water, wine, brandy, etc."
In current usage, the name used for a rum is often based on its place of origin. For rums from Spanish-speaking locales, the word ron is used. A ron añejo indicates a rum that has been significantly aged and is often used for premium products. Rhum is the term used for rums from French-speaking locales, while rhum vieux is an aged French rum that meets several other requirements.
Some of the many other names for rum are Nelson's blood, kill-devil, demon water, pirate's drink, navy neaters, and Barbados water. A version of rum from Newfoundland is referred to by the name screech, while some low-grade West Indies rums are called tafia.
After rum's development in the Caribbean, the drink's popularity spread to Colonial North America. To support the demand for the drink, the first rum distillery in the British colonies of North America was set up in 1664 on present-day Staten Island. Boston, Massachusetts had a distillery three years later. The manufacture of rum became early Colonial New England's largest and most prosperous industry. New England became a distilling center due to the technical, metalworking and cooperage skills and abundant lumber the rum produced there was lighter, more like whiskey. Rhode Island rum even joined gold as an accepted currency in Europe for a period of time. Estimates of rum consumption in the American colonies before the American Revolutionary War had every man, woman, or child drinking an average of 3 imperial gallons (14 l) of rum each year.
To support this demand for the molasses to produce rum, along with the increasing demand for sugar in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, a labor source to work the sugar plantations in the Caribbean was needed. A triangular trade was established between Africa, the Caribbean, and the colonies to help support this need. The exchange of slaves, molasses, and rum was quite profitable, and the disruption to the trade caused by the Sugar Act in 1764 may have even helped cause the American Revolution. In the slave trade, rum was also used as a medium of exchange.
Eventually, the restrictions on rum from the British islands of the Caribbean, combined with the development of American whiskey, led to a decline in the drink's popularity.
Rum became an important trade good in the early period of the colony of New South Wales. The value of rum was based upon the lack of coinage among the population of the colony, and due to the drink's ability to allow its consumer to temporarily forget about the lack of creature comforts available in the new colony. The value of rum was such that convict settlers could be induced to work the lands owned by officers of the New South Wales Corps. Due to rum's popularity among the settlers, the colony gained a reputation for drunkenness, though their alcohol consumption was less than levels commonly consumed in England at the time.
Australia was so far away from England that the convict colony, established in 1788, faced severe food shortages, compounded by poor conditions for growing crops and the shortage of livestock. Eventually it was realized that it might be cheaper for India, instead of England, to supply the settlement of Sydney. By 1817, two out of every three ships which left Sydney, went to Java or India, and cargoes from Bengal fed and equipped the colony. Casks of Bengal Rum (which was reputed to be stronger than Jamaican Rum, and not so sweet) were brought back in the depths of nearly every ship from India although taken to shore clandestinely, to the dismay of the governors. Englishmen living in India grew wealthy through sending ships to Sydney "laden half with rice and half with bad spirits."
Rum was intimately involved in the only military takeover of an Australian government, known as the Rum Rebellion. William Bligh became governor of the colony, he attempted to remedy the perceived problem with drunkenness by outlawing the use of rum as a medium of exchange. In 1808, in response to Bligh's policies, the New South Wales Corps marched with fixed bayonets, to Government House and placed Bligh under arrest. The mutineers continued to control the colony until the arrival of Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1810.


Summer is on its way, and you're looking forward to getting the family out around the pool for BBQ, refreshments, games and fun. But there are some important safety factors to keep in mind and prepare for. According to the CDC, one in five people who drown in a private pool are children. 393 people drown in pools in America each year, and 78.5 of them are children.
If you're a parent, you don't need to be told that those odds are too high to do nothing. So here are four important ways you can secure your pool and keep it child safe all year 'round. But it isn't only your own children who may be at risk, but any child- or even pets- who are attracted to the cool water during the hottest time of the year.
Aside to good supervision, putting a secure fence around your pool is your first line of defense. The best fences are strong, come with a locking mechanism, and alarm systems are available for every type of gate.
Should your fence fail to keep children out of the pool, a cover can provide that invaluable second layer of protection for curious children. A good and solid pool cover should be impassible to anyone without the release mechanism- short of breaking or tearing it.
We've already mentioned that your fence can be alarmed. But if a child manages to get over the fence by climbing, it may not work. Camera systems, motion detectors, and gate sensors can be on alert 24/7, even during those few moments when you are distracted.
Owning a pool means greater responsibility for parents of small children. You owe it to them to make sure they are safe and secure at all times, and frankly- no pool accessory can do as good a job at keeping them out of danger than your dedication to supervising them at all times.
Having a safe pool will lead to a fun filled summer with your family. For all of your pool needs in Donora, PA call Del Suppo Pools.

Q: Ayuda Inner Join Mysql Bueno pasa lo siguientes trato de hacer un inner join a 2 tablas por medio de su llave foranea pero devuelve vacio y hay 2 registros
en serviteca_clientes tengo la llave primaria llamada cli_identificacion
y en serviteca_ventas tengo cli_identificacionque es la foranea
Bueno para agregar su llave foranea use la siguiente sentencia
ALTER TABLE serviteca_ventas ADD CONSTRAINT CliVen FOREIGN KEY (cli_identificacion) REFERENCES serviteca_clientes(cli_identificacion)
ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE;
SELECT c.cli_identificacion, c.cli_nombre
FROM serviteca_ventas AS b
INNER JOIN serviteca_clientes AS c
ON (c.cli_identificacion = b.cli_identificacion)
WHERE c.cli_identificacion = b.cli_identificacion
pero devuelve vacio y en serviteca_clientes hay 2 registros

A: ¿Estás seguro que en la tabla  serviteca_ventas hay ventas asociadas a esos clientes? Eso es lo primero a tomar en cuenta. Pero el problema está en la siguiente línea:
WHERE c.cli_identificacion = b.cli_identificacion

Con solo quitar dicha sentencia te debería traer los registros que existen en la tabla serviteca_ventas. Debería ser:
 SELECT campos_selecionados FROM serviteca_ventas AS b
 INNER JOIN serviteca_clientes AS c ON b.cli_identificacion=c.cli_identificacion

Cuando haces un join y enlazas los campos correspondientes equivaldría al where que pones. Pero dado el caso no necesitas esto al menos que desees filtrar por alguna identificación de cliente. Por ejemplo:
 SELECT campos_selecionados FROM serviteca_ventas AS b
 INNER JOIN serviteca_clientes AS c ON b.cli_identificacion=c.cli_identificacion WHERE b.cli_identificacion = '123456789'

The day before, I greeted a mother, and she had a worried look on her face. She explained that her daughter, almost 8 months pregnant, had slipped and fallen on the wet floors of the portable toilets in the middle of the night. Fortunately the young expecting mother is all right, but why should a woman have to endure 9 months of pregnancy with no access to indoor plumbing?
One mother comes every day to the Baby Hammam and frequently expresses concern that her 10-month old daughter is small for her age because during the child's early infancy the family had been fleeing Syria. With the help of NPI, her daughter is now at a healthier weight, but she still worries about the long-term effects of her child's inadequate nutrition in the first months of life.
Another family is very dear to NPI, but they do not receive our services. The parents currently have two delightful daughters who love to help set up the Baby Hammam, but their two infant sons died when a bomb struck their house last year.
Newborns shouldn't have to sleep on concrete floors. Expecting mothers shouldn't have to worry about slipping and falling on dirty portable toilet floors. Infants shouldn't be underweight because their families are fleeing war. Babies shouldn't die in bomb explosions while the world stands silent.
The reason I know these families is because NPI has had a positive impact on their lives in some way, and they have opened up to us out of trust in who we are and what we do.
Jane Goodall said, "The greatest danger to our future is apathy," and the refugee crisis is the pure embodiment of the danger of which she forewarned us. Although we as individuals cannot stop the power holders and terrorist groups causing this turmoil, we can contribute to provide some degree of comfort to these families in distress.
You can help us reach more worried pregnant women, more mothers in need of nutritional support, more resources to ensure comfort for newborns. You can help us make a difference.

Apple, Airtel, MobiKwik, and Others Get Pulled Up for Misleading Ads by ASCI
By Press Trust of India | Updated: 18 April 2017 10:18 IST
Apple has been held for showing iPhone 7 Plus in an iPhone 7 ad in India
Airtel has been held for misleading customers with claims for free calls
MobiKwik and Opera Mini have also come under the ASCI scanner
Apple showing iPhone 7 Plus as iPhone 7 is among 143 advertisements dubbed as misleading by regulator ASCI, which also pulled up Bharti Airtel and others for such campaigns.
MobiKwik, HUL, Nivea, Amul, Opera, Standard Chartered Bank and Pernod Ricard are among the companies against which a total of 191 complaints were received by Customer Complaints Council (CCC) of the Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) for January.
ASCI upheld a total of 102 complaints in healthcare category, 20 in education, seven in personal care, six in food and beverages and eight advertisements from other categories.
According to ASCI, Apple India was found using a wrong image in its advertisement for iPhone 7.
"The advertisement text states 'The amazing iPhone 7 is here', but shows an image of iPhone 7 Plus variant, which is misleading by ambiguity and implication," said ASCI.
The sector watchdog said although the advertisement had the Apple trademark with 'iPhone 7' but said it didn't have any reference to 'series' in the advertisement text.
"In absence of any visual of iPhone 7 variant, it was concluded that the advertisement is likely to mislead the consumers about the product advertised and its corresponding features," it said.
Comments from Apple could not be obtained.
The regulator also upheld three complaints against leading telecom operator Bharti Airtel for "misleading" claims for free Calls Local + STD and a free upgrade for Airtel-V Fiber.
"The ad claim, "Free Calls Local + STD" cannot be said free as the prevailing price for data without advertised incentive is less i.e. from the consumer's point of view, they have to make a payment of Rs. 149 to avail this offer although they get only 300MB data versus 500MB data," it said.
However, when contacted, Airtel declined to comment.
Complaint against Opera Software ASA claim for its mobile browser Opera Mini was also upheld where it had claimed that it saves data cost up to 90 percent while browsing. "The advertisement's claim, 'Saves data cost up to 90 percent while browsing', was not substantiated with supporting data and is misleading by exaggeration," the CCC said.
When contacted an Opera spokesperson said: "We adhere to the highest ethical standards and never share any exaggerated or misleading data with our consumers. Hence, our claim of Opera Mini saving up to 90 percent data in our advertisement, is entirely true. We have proven our claims by internal and external tests from time to time over the years."
Digital payment firm MobiKwik also failed to substantiate its claim of "India's most secure e-wallet" for Mobikwik E-wallet and found to be "misleading by exaggeration".

Costa Rica Aims to Tackle Harmful Flies with the Help of Wasps and Nuclear Technology
Laura Gil, IAEA Office of Public Information and Communication

A group of Costa Rican experts has demonstrated that using a tiny wasp and nuclear technology can control the stable fly, a pest that is causing losses to pineapple producers and cattle breeders in Costa Rica and beyond. The pilot project was supported by the IAEA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Just about the same size as the common housefly, the stable fly bites and causes stress in the cattle it attacks, provoking anaemia, weight loss and reduced milk production. It breeds among others in pineapple residue, which is abundant in Costa Rica, the world's number one pineapple producer.
"The pest is having an economic impact, because it's affecting the health of cattle; a social impact, because the population blames the pineapple producers; and an environmental impact, because the pineapple producers apply more and more pesticide and plastic traps to control it," said Arturo Solórzano, an entomologist at Costa Rica's National Institute of Agricultural Technology Innovation and Transfer (INTA).
The solution that INTA has identified to control the fly is simple: a wasp. It's the result of research on area-wide insect pest management, an approach that often includes the use of radiation to sterilize insects before they are released. In this case, another nuclear application proved more effective.

"It is extremely hard to get rid of the fly," Solórzano said. "Its populations are indestructible. So it's important to attack the fly before populations explode, which is what the wasp does by stinging the pupae."
The Spalangia endius wasp is a parasitoid, an insect that attacks other insects. A natural enemy of the stable fly, it lays its eggs in the fly's pupae and feeds on it. Upon hatching, the wasp larvae consume the pupae and, when the adult wasp is born, no fly emerges. It all happens naturally, which is why the wasp is called a biocontrol agent. And as for the wasp itself, it neither stings nor bites.
With support from the IAEA's technical cooperation programme, experts at INTA established a pilot facility in 2012 to rear Spalangia wasps. When the wasps mature into adults, they mass release them in cattle farms in eastern Costa Rica. The wasps seek out stable fly pupae to lay their eggs in, reducing the fly population. See this photo essay to learn more about their work in Costa Rica.
The wasp, it has turned out, can kill up to 70 per cent of the stable flies, Solórzano said, over twice as many as initially expected.
Sterilizing pupae
But there is a loophole in this process. Rearing wasps requires bringing a colony of stable flies, or Mediterranean fruit flies, into the facility and using its pupae. If a pupa does not have wasp eggs in it, it can develop into an adult stable fly — and be released, causing damage to cattle.
Here is where nuclear technology comes in. In order to make sure that adult flies from these pupae do not get released, the flies are sterilized with X-rays at the larval stage. "This way, even if a few adult flies emerge, they are sterile and produce no offspring," said Walther Enkerlin, an entomologist at the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture.
Affected: farmers and producers
This has provided a safe and cost-effective solution to an escalating problem for Costa Rica. It is also a good alternative to using costly chemical insecticides, which harm the environment and are becoming less and less effective.
"The fly is developing resistance. One of the three types of pesticides we apply no longer works on it," said Olivier Vargas, manager at Dole, one of the major pineapple producing companies in the country. For the time being, Dole is destroying pineapple residue right after harvesting to minimize the breeding ground for the fly. This is a costly process, as the country generates over 6 million tonnes of pineapple residue per year.
With a production of over 2.5 million tonnes per year, Costa Rica is the top producer of fresh pineapple in the world. It supplies 60 per cent of global exports. Dole alone produces about 25 million pineapples a year, which it exports to the USA and Europe. Indirectly, according to Vargas, the company generates employment for around 15 000 people.

Cattle breeders are also affected by the stable fly. "The flies are growing in the areas with more pineapple," said Marco Antonio Fallas, Project Head at the Stockbreeding Promotion Corporation CORFOGA. "Farmers are seeing their animals lose appetite and die, in front of their eyes. Cows, bulls, even horses."
"The fly is a serious national problem," said Óscar Arias, President of Agribiotecnología (AgriBio), a Costa Rican agricultural citrus and pineapple company that is working with INTA to control the pest. "And it is getting worse." According to 2015 and 2016 findings by INTA, the fly has started to breed in coffee, oil palm and citrus fruit residue as well as in rice straw.
Experts at Costa Rica's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock are analysing the results of the pilot study to prepare a national action plan. Both farmers and producers hope science will solve their problem.
"We trust that scientists will make sure this does not stay at the research level," Arias added. "We want to apply it at a wider scale, across the country. I am positive that this work in progress will help reduce the fly population."
