Fasting Side Effects: Is It Healthy to Skip Meals?
Today, Flo will help you learn all about the potential dangers of fasting and the consequences of skipping meals.
Having a balanced breakfast every day boosts your health, and reduces the risk of obesity and insulin resistance. It can help you lose or maintain weight, if necessary.
The early food intake "launches" your metabolism. Your body feels full and satisfied, which reduces the likelihood of overeating.
When you skip breakfast, blood sugar levels fall, which results in energy decline. You crave something sweet or fatty. Your body tries to get the necessary calories during the day by asking for additional portions.
Any breakfast is better than nothing, but the healthiest choice would be egg dishes, salmon toast, cottage cheese with nuts or berries, porridge with a protein-rich topping, and salad.

Those who support fasting claim that it helps cleanse the body and allows it to produce energy from fat.
If you stick to radical restrictive diets and long-term fasting, you will indeed lose weight, but that will be mostly water because the body is extremely reluctant to part with its' fat tissue.
Once the fasting is over, the tendency is to overeat, which will bring the lost weight back, along with some additional pounds.
Be careful when experimenting with diets because you never know how your body will react. When trying to lose weight, follow a balanced diet and eat fewer calories than your body needs.
Once you've eaten, your blood sugar levels rise, and the pancreas releases insulin into your bloodstream, which delivers glucose to the organs and cells and triggers energy generation.
Unused glucose will be stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles.
If you skip the next meal, the blood glucose levels will drop, which is why you will feel hungry and tired and your work capacity will decrease.
To cope with this condition, the body will start using the liver glycogen reserve.
Foods rich in protein and complex carbohydrates will help keep the energy level up as they release glucose slowly and will allow you to feel full longer.
What if you have something sweet instead? Indeed, the blood sugar levels will skyrocket, but the glucose will burn off very quickly, making you feel tired again.

Pemberley Bridal, a new, handmade bridal accessories collection based out of Los Angeles California, wanted a collection fit for the Southern California bride. Whether that bride is dancing barefoot on the beach in a gorgeous Rue De Seine Gown, or elegantly striding down the aisle in an Alexandra Grecco thanks to Pemberley, she won't have to sacrifice her personal style with the classic silhouettes of a wedding veil.
Photographing their new collection in Malibu was a lace fringed dream filled with the golden tones of the spring sunset and all the romantic vibes of a wedding gown hemline trailing along the sandy shore. The founders of the line styled these gorgeous veils with gowns by Rue De Seine, courtesy of Lovely Bride, complimenting bold details with an equally vibrant style. If I were to redo my wedding, I might have to steal that fringe veil, Crescent, which could not have been more fun!

Under the Paris Agreement, nations agreed to limit global warming to less than 2C above pre-industrial levels, but even that might not be enough to stop the collapse of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
Even if we restrict warming to the targets set by the Paris Agreement, both ice sheets may have tipping points at or slightly above the 1.5-2C threshold, according to a review of our current understanding of ice sheet processes by an international team of scientists, including New Zealand author Dr Nick Golledge from Victoria University of Wellington.
Professor Christina Hulbe from the University of Otago told The AM Show the work had "one clear message: we are very close to triggering irreversible change in Earth's polar ice sheets".
Once crossed, these tipping points could lead to irreversible loss of ice from the sheets and may commit us to greater rates of sea level rise than we are currently experiencing for hundreds of years to come. Dr Huw Horgan from Victoria's Antarctic Research Centre told the SMC: "This study really emphasises the vulnerability of these ice sheets to warming, and clearly show how their fate is linked to choices we make about emissions."
Climate scientist Professor James Renwick told Stuff: "we might be locking in about 5m of sea level rise even if we limit global warming to 2C." He emphasised that those tipping points get closer every day that people emit greenhouse gases.
The SMC gathered expert reaction on the study.
"Science is not always straightforward, especially when researching new issues.
"But it's essential that scientists are allowed to speak freely on what their research shows."

Too much blue light at night could give you trouble sleeping and alter your internal body clock, according to a new report from the Royal Society Te Apārangi.
The report explains that our eyes use blue light to adjust our body clocks to the right timezone.
"With electronic devices like our phones and iPads and computer screens, we are exposing ourselves to more and more blue light which... delays our clocks to a later time zone and it effectively gives us jet lag," Assoc Prof Guy Warman from the University of Auckland told Newstalk ZB.
Warman, who was part of the expert advisory group for the report, says the sleep disruption caused by this interference can weaken our immunity and increases the risk of obesity, depression, and potentially some types of cancer.
The report advises the public to expose ourselves to blue light in the morning to help us wake up, but to limit blue light at night by reducing screen brightness, using night-time apps that lower blue light output or turning devices off.
We're not the only ones affected blue light, as insects and plants are also sensitive to blue light, with insects showing signs of disrupted feeding behaviours, pollination efforts, and reproduction.
"Even small solar-powered LEDs, the kind people have in their gardens, can alter insect behaviour," forest protection scientist Lindsay Bulman from Scion told Stuff.
"If we want to minimise the effect of nighttime lighting on the environment we need to think about how, when and where we use lighting at home and in public spaces, and look at using lights that do not have a significant blue wavelength component."
The light pollution from white LED streetlights (which have a large blue light component) can also stop us from seeing the stars, leading astronomists to lobby for outdoor lighting only to be used when needed and to make sure these lights only point downwards.

One of the characters.
The Rimini Riddle is an Irish puppet TV series that aired during the 1990s in the Ireland broadcasting networks RTE and Network 2. It was part of a television block called Saturday Club and aired two seasons worth of episodes.
1 Premise
The premise of the show is mostly unknown, due to many rumours going around about it. The Rimini Riddle is about three orphans, named Rory, Leo, and Ellen, who live with their aunt Vera.
The Rimini Riddle is about the riddle in the Rimini household. They live beside a beach and the orphans are not allowed to go swimming. Ellen meets two little girls on the beach. The mystery has something to do with the two girls depicted in a treasured picture owned by Aunt Vera, as they were said to have drowned.
It is also known to have had many story and character arcs, especially for a kid's show, making it called a "Puppet soap opera".
Throughout that time, two clips surfaced, one of a clip of the Valentine's Special, and the other being an unknown episode with a clip from the puppeteer.
The search for the show has dated back since September 24, 2008 in boards.ie. There has been a Facebook group dedicated to looking for the show and forum posts talking about the memories of the show, negative and positive.
No home media release has come up.

The absence of the other holds my head underwater; gradually I drown, my air supply gives out: it is by this asphyxia that I reconstitute my "truth" and that I prepare what in love is Intractable.
The French philosopher, Roland Barthes' beautiful analysis of the lover's tragedy offers us, as Jews in an age of polymorphous religious identity, a paradox of modern Jewish religiosity. We are confronted, in our age, with the conflict of two Judaisms that survive after Enlightenment and Holocaust, the philosophical and historical seeking of wissenschaft des Judentums and the transcendent mysticism of Hassidism and its various forms. It is the painful position of the religious Jew to find her religious devotion somewhere within the systems available to her, and yet both systems are insufficient for creating a lasting and reciprocal love.
Cleaving to a Judaism harmonious with history and science, the religious Jew rejects the magic, the superstition, and ultimately, the deep profundity of divine mystery. Alternatively, in embracing myth and cult, she turns away from philosophical and scientific responsibility and returns to the world of angels and demons, binding herself like Ulysses to the ship's mast as the sirens beckon with their beautiful song. Her head is underwater. She is drowning. And when the air once again enters her lungs, she gasps desperately not for truth, not for transcendence, but for love.
The religious Jew is at her being, the lover whose love is unrequited. She may feel the presence of God, she may weep as she sings God's praises, and she may surround herself with the comfort of God's presence. Yet, her love is also responsible for agony and anxiety, for acts of desperation and chronic embarrassment. Her love is for the One whose love is eclipsed, whose acts of compassion and devotion are recorded in scripture but are, at present, black and white photographs of a seemingly eroded marriage. Her love is her raison d'être, and her love is the source of her despair. She turns to reason. She turns to mystical unity. But she does not know His love, nor does she understand her own.
How does the religious Jew survive her love with the faulty systems of reason and mysticism? Confronted with the great mystery of God, she has no choice but to cling to pieces of Him whom she loves. His Torah, His Shabbat, His law and His creation; these jewels are not reminders of the love that once was. While they are tools in the hands of wissenschaft and Hassidut, they are, to the religious Jew, extensions of God's self, and therefore an invitation of intimacy. Barthes calls this element of the Lover's discourse, "The Ribbon," and uses Goethe's character of Young Werther as the paradigm.
…he kisses the knot of ribbon Charlotte has given him for this birthday, the letter she sends him (even putting the sand to his lips), the pistols she has touched. From the loved being emanates a power nothing can stop and which will impregnate everything it comes in contact with, even if only by a glance: if Werther, unable to go see Charlotte, sends her his servant, it is this servant himself upon whom her eyes have rested who becomes for Werther a part of Charlotte ("I would have taken his head between my hands and kissed him then and there, had not human respect prevented me"). Each object thus consecrated (placed within the influence of the god) becomes like the stone of Bologna, which by night gives off the rays it has accumulated during the day.
The ivory tower of reason and mysticism's tower of wind and clouds stand together, and the religious Jew walks back and forth on the bridge that connects them. The truth of her love is not found in either building but exists somewhere between the two. She cannot dwell in either for too long, lest her heart or her mind become sick, lest her quest for God lose its direction. Rather, she clings to her ribbons, for it is the presence of God she desires, to love Him fully and to be loved in return.
Barthes' analysis of tragedy and love is all too familiar for the Jew who seeks and suffers in her religious commitment. While the edifices of modern Jewish experience diverge and pursue different roads to know Him whose love is hidden, both paths are ultimately superfluous by themselves. Perhaps the merging of the paths is equally problematic, but in merging, love is recognized in the small act of coming together, of harmonizing the philosophers and the angels. The harmony may not be the ladder to the heavens, but it may just be the garden under His window.

Whenever we feel tired, we find relief from sitting down. Sitting provides us comfort but doing this for extended periods of time is unhealthy.
Not that summer is here, expect that you'll take several road trips where you need to sit for hours. Long travels may cause fatigue and exhaustion because of inactivity. It can cause lower back pain, cut off circulation to the legs and feet, slow one's metabolism, and compromise the posture of the shoulders, back, and spine. Constant vibrations can cause muscles to contract and hold harder, thus tiring out a driver or passenger.
Stretch your back. On breaks, stand tall and circle your shoulders back five times. Then reach arms overhead and arch back slightly. Repeat once or twice if needed.
Uncramp your legs. Stand with feet staggered in a lunge, left knee bent in front and right leg straight behind so that your heel touches the ground. With hands on hips (or holding on to something for balance), clench the right side of your gluteal muscles. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch legs and repeat.
Relax your shoulders. Keeping your chin parallel to the ground, slowly draw your head back as far as you can. You might feel a stretch along your upper spine and shoulders. Repeat six times.
Flex your feet. Trips longer than 4 hours increase your risk of deep vein thrombosis, a clot that forms, usually in the lower leg or thigh. Stopping to walk around helps. Passengers in the car should do ankle rolls and alternate flexing and pointing their feet one at a time every half hour or so.
BONUS: Wear compression socks and hose to help promote blood flood to the legs and feet.
B vitamins play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being. As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism. Make sure you are well-equipped with essential B-vitamins before you embark on a journey.
Long drives are fun, regardless of who you will be with. Don't let nerve glitch get in the way. Make sure your body is prepared for the important task of being a pilot to your amazing getaway with your friends, family, and loved ones.

Q: Is there WPF XAML for Uniform fit but constant StrokeThickness I what to draw a circle that uniformly fits into its space, with a constant a stoke thickness.  A ViewBox gets me the uniform fit, but not the constant stoke thickness.
<Viewbox Stretch="Uniform" MinHeight="10" MinWidth="10" >
    <Ellipse Height="10" Width="10" Fill="Red" StrokeThickness="1" Stroke="Yellow"/>
</Viewbox>

A: If you don't specify a width or height of the ellipse, the default values will be "Auto". Combined with the default HorizontalAlignment/VerticalAligment values of "Stretch", this should cause the ellipse to "stretch" to the width and height of its container (with constant stroke thickness).
The *ContentAlignment properties of the parent container may affect this behavior, but again, the default, unset values should give you the behavior you want.
Edit: revising my suggestion because I did not realized the ellipse must remain a circle (don't worry, I've decided to pick up a copy of "Reading for Comprehension").
I suggest you bind the width and height properties of the ellipse to a MultiBinding of the parent container's ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties. Then implement a "multi-value converter" that will return the minimum value from the multi-binding.
So the converter might look like this:
class MinimumValueConverter : IMultiValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object[] values, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return values.Cast<double>().Min();
    }

    public object[] ConvertBack(object value, Type[] targetTypes, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

And the ellipse properties could be bound like this:
<Window.Resources>
    <l:MinimumValueConverter x:Key="MinimumValueConverter" />
</Window.Resources>
<Ellipse Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1">
    <Ellipse.Width>
        <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource MinimumValueConverter}">
            <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UIElement}}" Path="ActualWidth" />
            <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UIElement}}" Path="ActualHeight" />
        </MultiBinding>
    </Ellipse.Width>
    <Ellipse.Height>
        <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource MinimumValueConverter}">
            <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UIElement}}" Path="ActualWidth" />
            <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type UIElement}}" Path="ActualHeight" />
        </MultiBinding>
    </Ellipse.Height>
</Ellipse>

Maybe you're a hunter, maybe you're not.
Regardless, a house with a menagerie of glassy-eyed animals hiding behind every corner can come across a bit … menacing.
But there's a way to inject a soupçon of animalia into your home without the whole disembodied head-mount thing, and it's called Paperwolf. The brainchild of German computer animator Wolfram Kampffmeyer, Paperwolf is an Etsy shop proferring a veritable "zoo" of 3D-printed paper animals, from hippos and chameleons to aardvarks and sabertooth tigers.
In 2010, Kampffmeyer discovered a computer program that would help him transfer visual models to papercraft kits; ever the manually inclined (he's been disassembling vacuum cleaners and old computers since childhood), he decided to bring his idea to life. The result is a DIYer's dream that makes for an offbeat design statement piece. The animals are brought to life with a mix of glue, elbow grease and savvy, and are equally ideal for a modern-leaning man cave or children's bedroom.
While the design process can take Kampffmeyer up to a week (he studies Youtube videos and even visits the zoo to accurately capture an animal's form) your assembly will settle somwhere in the five- to eight-hour range. Expect less time for the birds, and more effort for bigger animals, such as the mammals in his African trophy head collection. And keep on the look-out for new color options for each animal, or new additions to the zoo.
Below, we've included a few of our favorites.

It is the worse situation when you wake up in the morning, scroll through your messages, and end up finding the embarrassing messages. Luckily WhatsApp has provided a great feature. Recently the feature is in testing mode. The application will allow you to edit or even delete the set messages before the receiver has read.
Yes, you can easily know that which messages are seen. Before the double tick which appears in blue color, you can edit the message. The feature works easily by pressing and holding message. While pressing and holding on message, the user can either EDIT or REVOKE it.
Many of the applications allow the users to delete the text but the world's famous app will soon provide the feature. The beta version is in testing mode and will let you edit the message even sent in a group. This will save you from any embarrassment.
People who are new to smartphones or unable to use automatic dictionary face this situation more often. The feature works only on the gray tick mark or if 2 gray marks present on it. However, the new feature does not operate if the user has read the messages of the 2 blue tick marks appear.
If the user revokes the message, then Message display will be seen as SENDER REVOKED THE MESSAGE.
That is not all WhatsApp will be offering. But people can add Whatsapp status similar to SnapChat stories. You can either add a doodle or a picture which stays for just 24 hours. However, now you will be notified when one of your friends will update or change their status. Whatsapp will allow you to reply to the status as well.
The amazing third feature WhatsApp is introducing the tracking feature. It allows you to track the location of the users. The feature is known as "live location tracking" which lets you track your friend for 1 minute, 2 minutes or 5 minutes. The feature is helpful in planning meetups between family and friends.
Tracking feature can easily be disabled if you do not want other people to track you.
So try out the amazing WhatsApp features when they are launched. The wait is worthy.

Extraordinary preclinical outcomes for stroke treatment
Newly published scientific studies have ignited renewed hope for a dramatic breakthrough in stroke treatment for patients.
An injectable compound that is currently in a Phase 1 human safety clinical trial was shown in animal studies to repair the devastating brain damage caused by stroke. It even worked a full week after the onset of a stroke. In other words, human victims might someday be able to regain or improve bodily functions using this new stroke treatment, including key cognitive abilities.
The remarkable discovery that a faulty central nervous system can be repaired at a cellular level in trial animals is the subject of a white paper study that was just published in the peer-reviewed scientific publication, Cell Reports. The study discusses how rodents that were given an experimentally induced stroke exhibited significantly improved motor and sensory function after the injected stroke treatment.
Such encouraging developments are sure to be closely watched by the medical research community and pharmaceutical industry alike. This is due to the daunting challenge at hand. During an ischemic stroke (the most common kind, which is caused by a clot in the brain's blood vessels), there is a mass die-off of brain cells, leading to life-changing brain damage. In humans, this amounts to around two million brain cells perishing every minute post-injury.
To make matters worse, current stroke treatments on the market can only 'modify' (slow down or lessen) the destructive effects on the human body caused by the mass die-off of neurons in either the brain or the spinal cord.
What makes stroke so devastating is that it either significantly impairs the flow of blood to the brain or it involves the rupture of blood vessels in the brain (called a hemorrhagic stroke). In either case, there is the mass death of neurons that short-circuits the body's central nervous system.
Both types of stroke can result in substantial and debilitating loss of motor, sensory, visual, language, speech, balance and difficulty with coordination, walking and cognitive function.
All told, millions of North Americans who have experienced severe damage to the central nervous system have been afflicted with such devastatingly debilitating diseases as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. A smaller but significant number of North Americans have experienced a serious spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury.
Accordingly, the management of these chronic conditions costs the healthcare system billions of dollars each year, which is mostly spent on managing physically debilitating symptoms that typically get inexorably worse.
Preclinical animal stroke trials: a breakthrough in stroke treatment
The studies were conducted by a small Canadian-headquartered life sciences company called NervGen Pharma Corp. It hopes that its drug candidate – NVG-291 – has the 'blockbuster drug' potential to treat as many as tens of millions of sufferers of neurodegenerative diseases worldwide.
Most importantly, the animal studies demonstrated how nervous system damage can be repaired, as opposed to merely limiting the extent of damage, which is how the existing FDA-approved therapy functions.
Where NVG-291 proved especially disruptive was in the extent of repair to the body's central nervous system. This involved a significant increase in plasticity (axonal sprouting), which resulted in the creation of new neuronal connections.
All told, there was a significant improvement in motor and sensory function in the mice – essentially the ability to walk, grasp objects, and detect the presence of objects on their paws.
Additionally, there was an improvement in spatial learning and memory. For instance, when treatment was started after seven days, trial mice were able to complete memory-based tasks in approximately 50 seconds on average compared to approximately two minutes for mice in the control group. This is demonstrated in the accompanying video.
Moreover, the studies suggest that this stroke treatment might be administered even after the damage by the stroke is fully realised. Recovery was seen in the rodents when treatment was initiated at 24 hours and even seven days after the onset of stroke. Remarkably, the magnitude of recovery in animals treated a week post-stroke was similar to animals treated 24 hours post-stroke.
According to NervGen's President and CEO, Paul Brennan, "The results of this study are an elegant demonstration of how surviving neurons can help take on additional function. In the animals treated with NVG-291-R, neurons reached out across the brain to form new connections in the area of the brain damaged by the stroke."
It is worth reiterating that the ability to create entirely new connections (plasticity) via axonal sprouting is not only relevant to stroke, but also to any condition where there is damage to the central nervous system. This includes Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.
A large unmet market
The only drug currently on the market for stroke, called Alteplase, is very limited in its usefulness. It is a clot-buster for build-up in the brain or heart that can only be used in a small segment of stroke victims because it must be administered within a few hours of the stroke taking place to be effective at mitigating the damage caused.
This means a largely unmet multi-billion-dollar market for treating both kinds of stroke is ripe for the taking. It is worth noting that of the 15 million people worldwide who suffer a stroke each year, only about 10% of them will ever return to life as it was before. Plus, 20% of people who suffer a stroke die within a week, while another 13% die within the first year.
Additionally, the economic burden of stroke in the US alone was estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2015 to be $34 billion (the latest figures available), a toll growing as the size of the aged population continues to expand.
Brennan continued: "The current standard of care for stroke is one approved drug administered to less than 10% of those suffering – and it only limits ongoing damage in a portion of those receiving it. If the meaningful recovery of the function shown in this study translates in a clinical setting, our drug has the promise to be a substantial breakthrough.
"For the first time in a peer-reviewed publication, our drug demonstrated significant improvements in memory and spatial learning. This bodes well for the numerous other indications affecting cognition, such as Alzheimer's disease. In the end, this is an important validation of our technology being able to fundamentally enable the nervous system to heal itself."

WOW what a promising 3 days at Aston Le Walls! With 5 horses, 2 first time advanced and 3 intermediates.
Cruise On Inny, did a great test in his first advanced, a few mistakes but showing so much for the future sccoring 34. He jumped beautifully round the decent track which caused it's fair share of problems just touching the final fence for 4 faults. XC he was flying, giving me a fantastic ride and taking on all the new questions but sadly caught out 3 from home. Lots learnt and he's ready for next time!
Undalgo De Windsor, warmed up beautifully but still not 100% established at Advanced level showing some tension in his test and 'interesting ' flying changes. He went into the SJ and tried so hard, an irritating 2 poles down, which rider error can be blamed as he made it feel easy.
XC he was a total machine, answering every question as if it was our first BE100 together. A steady clear and Blenheim he shall aim!
Echo P was on great form, a lovely test for 33, despite some confusion ahead of the dressage of which arena we were meant to be in!
He jumped well SJ but 3 poles down annoyingly. On to the XC and he was flying, feeling amazing and we appear to have put the right hand corner blip behind us! Hopefully! A lovely clear round and a happy pony. Silver Lining was fantastic in the dressage today, his best ever test. Really getting the posh trotting sorted, a score of 32 saw him in top placings. A class clear SJ, pinging his way round doing what he knows best.
XC was still only a recent upgrade for him with still fairly little mileage and new questions on the course. Jumping quick and very well but sadly a bit of confusion at a combination resulting in penalties. Never the less he went in top complete and learn from the mistake.All horses have been fab and showing so much promise once everything is consolidated.
Trendy Captain Clover at only 7yo felt fantastic today. After a 33 Dr and his 7th D/C back to back at intermediate/**. He went quick and jumped amazing to finish 4th. Now Hartpury CCI** bound a great final run for him.
A great trip to Calmsden over the weekend with new ride Wilco, a lovely 8yo grey. He did a great dressage and scored 28.5, putting him 2nd after this phase. He then went on to jump brilliantly show jumping and stormed round the XC inside the time to finish 2nd in his section. Next stop for him Smiths Lawn.
A Real Blast is certainly loving her eventing. She warmed up beautifully before her test but then got a little tense in the ring scoring a 36. Then pinging her way round the show jumping for a great clear and equally flying XC and finding it all rather easy. Her next stop Smiths Lawn Novice.

IndoDefence 2018 gave the Indonesian company PT Pindad and the Turkish company FNSS a golden opportunity to demonstrate and, hence, efficiently advertise their Harimau/Kaplan medium tank. Harimau (Javanese tiger) is the Indonesian name, while Kaplan MT Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) is the Turkish one. As told to Army Recognition by an FNSS representative, Bangladesh, the Philippines and Brunei have expressed interest in purchasing the tank, the two latter countries for 40 to 50 each.
FNSS and PT Pindad launched the development of the Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) project called Kaplan MT (Medium Tank) to respond to a request from the Indonesia army for a new medium tank. The vehicle is fully operable in broad range of altitude, humidity and temperature scale of -18°C/+55°C. The joint development of Medium weight tank design architecture includes advanced ballistic and mine protection systems with broad range of fire power from close support of infantry to anti-armor.
This new generation medium tank's precision direct fire capability ensures required lethality with an outstanding tactical and strategic mobility. Turkey and Indonesia initiated the project to develop MMT in 2014. FNSS and PT Pindad are the prime contractors of the project, whose intellectual property rights are owned by the two countries. FNSS-PT Pindad Joint Development Medium Weight Tank comprises state of art modern technology platform with superior firepower supported with battlefield management and laser warning systems, providing tactical awareness to the commander.
The concept design of the MMWT was completed and unveiled during IndoDefence 2016. The first prototype of the Kaplan/Harimau was unveiled in May 2017 during IDEF, International Defense Industry Fair in Turkey. In august 2018, Indonesian Company PT Pindad announced final firing test with the Kaplan to control all the functions of the 105-mm CT-CV turret system, designed and developed by the Belgian Company CMI Defence. PT Pindad has concluded trials of the Harimau and is now in the process of achieving certification for the tank, which is expected before the end of 2018. According to PT Pindad, the Indonesian army has a requirement for 400 Harimau tanks.

The Top Vulnerabilities Exploited by Cybercriminals
Cybercriminals are shifting their focus from Adobe to Microsoft consumer products, and are now concentrating more on targeted attacks than on web-based exploit kits.
Kevin Bowers
Each year, Recorded Future provides an analysis of criminal chatter on the dark web in its Top Ten Vulnerabilities Report. It does this because it perceives a weakness in traditional vulnerability databases and scanning tools — they do not indicate which vulnerabilities are currently being exploited, nor to what extent. Reliance on vulnerability lists alone cannot say where patching and remediation efforts should be prioritized.
"We do this analysis because the sale and use of exploits is a for-profit industry," Recorded Future's VP of technical solutions, Scott Donnelly told SecurityWeek. This means that exploit developers have to sell their products, while other criminals have to buy them — and this leads to the chatter that Recorded Future analyzes.
"If you're a cybercriminal trying to make money, you have to discuss it. If you hold back too much you're not going to make any money; so, there's a necessity for the criminals to stick their heads up a little bit — and we can take advantage of that and call out some of the big conversations." It assumes a correlation between chatter about a vulnerability with active exploitation of that vulnerability — an assumption that common sense rather than science suggests is reasonable.
Donnelly is confident that his firm's knowledge of and access to the dark web is statistically valid. Nation-state activity is specifically excluded from this analysis, because, he says, "If you're a nation-state with an exploit, or if you're a third-party supplier of exploits to a nation state, you're less likely to talk about it in a general criminal forum."
At the macro level, this year's analysis highlights a move away from Adobe vulnerabilities towards Microsoft consumer product vulnerabilities. While Flash exploits have dominated earlier annual reports, seven of the top ten (including the top five) most discussed vulnerabilities are now Microsoft vulnerabilities. "As Adobe Flash Player has begun to see its usage significantly drop, this year we find that it's a lot of Microsoft consumer products that are seeing heavy exploitation," says Donnelly.
The three most used vulnerabilities are CVE-2017-0199 (which allows attackers to download and execute a Visual Basic script containing PowerShell commands from a malicious document), CVE-2016-0189 (which is an old Internet Explorer vulnerability that allows attackers to use an exploit kit to drop malware, such as ransomware), and CVE-2017-0022 (which enables data theft).
A second major takeaway from the analysis is that 2017 has seen a significant drop in the development of new exploit kits. "This has been noticed before," Donnelly told SecurityWeek, "but mainly because researchers simply haven't seen them in action. This is now evidence that the criminals themselves aren't talking about or trying to sell that many new kits."
In raw numbers, Recorded Future's analysis noted 26 new kits in 2016, but only 10 new kits in 2017 (from a total list of 158 EKs). "The observed drop in exploit kit activity," suggests Donnelly, "overlaps with the rapid decline of Flash Player usage. Users have shifted to more secure browsers, and attackers have shifted as well. Spikes in cryptocurrency mining malware and more targeted victim attacks have filled the void."
At the micro level, the big takeaway from this report is the anomalous position of CVE-2017-0022. It is the third most discussed vulnerability on the dark web forums, yet in relation to just two pieces of malware: exploit kits Astrum (aka Stegano) and Neutrino. This is the lowest number of associated malware in the top ten vulnerabilities — both of the two more popular vulnerabilities are associated with ten different peices of malware. CVE-2017-0199 is associated with malware including Hancitor, Dridex and FinFisher, while CVE-2016-0189 is associated with nine different exploit kits and the Magniber ransomware.
But it's not just in malware associations that CVE-2017-0022 is anomalous. It has a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) rating of just 4.3. The next lowest rating in the top ten vulnerabilities is 7.6, while the top two are rated at 9.3 and 7.6. CVSS defines a 4.3 score as medium risk; and yet Recorded Future's research shows it to be the third most exploited vulnerability, commenting, "'In the wild' severity does not always correlate with the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score."
This is a prime example of the reason for the analysis. Security teams could check the CVSS score and conclude on this evidence alone that the vulnerability does not require expedited remediation or patching. As the third most exploited vulnerability, Recorded Future's latest threat analysis suggests otherwise.
Boston, Mass.-based Recorded Future raised $25 million in a Series E funding round led by Insight Venture Partners in October 2017 — bringing the total funding raised to $57.9 million.

"Kickstarter, but With Stock"
Equity crowdfunding was supposed to be an economic boon. Instead it's a disaster waiting to happen.
By Jim Saksa
Kristen Bell in the crowdfunded Veronica Mars movie. Equity crowdfunding will never be this cool
Photo by Robert Voets/Warner Bros. Entertainment
Bipartisanship is so rare in Congress these days that one hopes every meaningful law passed with even just an ounce of across-the-aisle support is the best gosh-darn law it can be. Unfortunately, that can't be said about one of the last bipartisan laws of note, the JOBS Act of 2012.
Most of the JOBS Act's provisions involved arcane tweaks to federal securities regulations—stuff so tediously complex that if I described it here, I would get arrested for boring hundreds of readers to death. However! The law's Title III, which covered equity crowdfunding for non-accredited investors, caught the collective imagination of serial entrepreneurs, business writers, Silicon Valley CEOs, and tech bloggers, inspiring breathlessly predictions of a revolution in investing, the death of venture capital, the long overdue victory against sexism and racism in business, the democratization of capitalism, the end of unemployment, and the restoration of the American Dream.
Unfortunately, the hype over equity crowdfunding is just that. Crowdfunding won't significantly improve the supply of investment capital, and the capital that crowdfunding does supply won't significantly improve the bank accounts of investors. In fact, given that even usually sober-minded media has a tendency to act like a stoned sophomore whenever a story involves the Internet ("This. Changes. EVERYTHING."), there's an enormous risk that unsuspecting investors will get burned once the Securities and Exchange Commission finalizes crowdfunding's rules.
Whenever that is. The JOBS Act gave the SEC 270 days to finalize rules to allow crowdfunding. It's now been more than 800 days. The previous SEC chairwoman never liked the law, which also drew fierce criticism from the North American Securities Administrators Association, leading to accusations of deliberate foot-dragging by the agency. But crowdfunding places two of the SEC's core missions—the protection of investors and promotion of capital formation—on a collision course, trapping the Commission in a Catch-22. "The SEC was handed something micromanaged by Congress, and they had to try to make up rules to make it workable," said Noreen Weiss Adler, a New York–based attorney who has written extensively on crowdfunding. She estimates that the earliest we could expect finalized rules would be early autumn of this year. But unless Congress reforms or repeals the law before then, equity crowdfunding is destined to do little more than separate mom-and-pop investors from their savings.
Equity crowdfunding is similar to the already legal type of crowdfunding available on websites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo. But when Oculus Rift, a company that raised a little more than $2 million from 9,500 backers on Kickstarter, sold to Facebook for $2 billion, interest in equity crowdfunding quickly fomented into indignant rage. Had the backers received company stock instead of company T-shirts, they would have seen close to a 1,000 percent ROI. "It's an intuitive and appealing idea—Kickstarter, but with stock," said Professor Michael Dorff of Southwestern Law School. "It's also a disaster waiting to happen."
From an investor's perspective, crowdfunding operates most similarly to angel investment. But most crowdfunding investors won't be able to act like successful angel investors. "Successful angel investors invest in industries they know well, do a lot of due diligence, spend time mentoring the companies they invest in, and diversify their investments," said Dorff. "And still, the majority of their investments fail completely." Angel investors only earn a profit because a small percentage of successful companies—about 10 percent, Dorff estimates—make them enough money to offset their other losses.
What's more, instead of a simple safe harbor for equity crowdfunding, Title III gave us a regulatory hurricane. Crowdfunding's extensive registration and disclosure requirements manage to be simultaneously too heavily regulated for businesses to use and too poorly regulated to protect investors. In an attempt to reconcile these diametric failures into something resembling a useful law, the SEC released a 585-page rule proposal, but no amount of lawmaking lipstick will make this statutory pig pretty.
Crowdfunding's numerous bureaucratic burdens aren't merely a hassle. Regardless of what the SEC's final rules look like, "the estimated costs will make crowdfunding a very expensive and risky way to raise capital," said Professor Richard Swart, Director of Research for the Program for Innovation in Entrepreneurial and Social Finance at the University of California, Berkeley. The SEC estimates that it would cost $39,000 in fees to accountants, lawyers, and the funding portal to raise just $100,000, and more than $150,000 to raise $1 million. Those are insanely high capital costs—companies would be better off financing their operations with credit cards. (Just think of the reward points!) For comparison, underwriting fees for a large public offering are usually under 4 percent.
Compared to the registration exemptions under America's favorite way of raising capital, Regulation D, crowdfunding is a bum deal. Not only are Reg D's disclosure requirements relatively nonexistent, but it also lets a company raise an unlimited amount of capital from an unlimited number of investors, provided those investors are "accredited"; i.e., rich enough that the SEC can assume that they can protect themselves (or hire investment advisers).
So what kinds of companies would ever want use non-accredited investor crowdfunding? Desperate ones. "We find it very hard to believe that any attractive companies will use" non-accredited investor crowdfunding, said Ryan Caldbeck, CEO of CircleUp, a crowdfunding platform for accredited investors only.
Frantic companies will turn to online platforms to find that special someone who'll help pay the bills. But they'll only try the investment equivalent of a Craigslist missed connection after exhausting all other options—after their friends spurn their advances, after they strike out with angel investors, after venture capitalists decline a date, and when they can't get so much as a poke on accredited investor portals like Caldbeck's.
Caldbeck thinks non-accredited equity crowdfunding could work with the right set of regulations. But he hasn't seen any proposals yet that make sense, because striking the right balance between protecting investors and helping companies is nearly impossible under the current law. Some, like Dorff, think the very idea of equity crowdfunding is flawed. But others believe the concept can work if the regulations are reduced, leading the JOBS Act's original sponsor to introduce legislation to repeal and replace the current crowdfunding provisions.
Compared to the usually staid world of securities regulations, crowdfunding seems exciting. The Internet has changed so much of our lives, so why not this, too? But innovation doesn't always mean improvement. If equity crowdfunding really has the potential to unleash capital and democratize investment, that potential is trapped by some very poorly written legislation.

PepsiCo To Address Lil Wayne Controversy With Emmett Till's Family
by Andres Tardio
Following their controversial relationship with Lil Wayne, PepsiCo has decided to meet with Emmett Till's family. This news comes according to Al Sharpton, who released a statement on the matter.
"I have been in conversations over the last several days with leadership at PepsiCo and the family of Emmett Till," he said in the statement, released via National Action Network. "This has been a 'teaching moment' for Lil Wayne, corporate America and the family of Emmett Till yet more than a condemnation of any one artist, it is an affirmation of Emmett Till and a call for more sensitivity about what we say and do in our culture. National Action Network does not want it to end with artists losing contracts but rather with a sensitizing of corporate America so we can learn from these experiences and set a tone that will help everybody."
The meeting is scheduled to take place today (May 8). Till's family began voicing their displeasure with Mountain Dew/PepsiCo for endorsing Lil Wayne after the rapper attempted to make a punchline using Till's death in a song, "Karate Chop (Remix)." Since then, Wayne has apologized to the family and was dropped by PepsiCo.
In 2008, Lil Wayne had a message for Al Sharpton. "You're the type that gets off on gettin' on other people," he said. "I'd much rather you talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion before you make one." He continued, saying he does not respect Sharpton and added that he is "nobody" to him. "You see, you are no MLK. You are no Jesse Jackson. You are nobody, to me. You're just another Don King with a perm, just a little more political. And that just means you're a little unhuman than us humans. And now let me be human by saying fuck Al Sharpton and anyone like him." The above quote comes from Lil Wayne's "Misunderstood" off Tha Carter III.

Географія
Хорезмська область розташована в північно-західній частині Узбекистану. На північному заході та півночі межує з Республікою Каракалпакстан, на півдні та заході – з Туркменістаном, на південному сході, сході та північному сході – з Бухарською областю.

Територія області простягається із північного заходу на південний схід на 280 км у тих широтах, де розташоване місто Ургенч (із заходу на схід - на 80 км).

Площа області складає 6300 км (1,5% від всієї території країни), перебуваючи з цим показником на 11-му місці серед 14 суб'єктів.

Майже всю територію області займають рівнини та невеликі височини. За своїм географічним розташуванням вона розташована між 40 ° -42 ° північної широти і 60 ° -62 ° східної довготи.

Населення
Населення області станом на 1924 складалося з узбецького населення (97%), решта 3% - туркмени, казахи, каракалпаки, перси, росіяни.

Станом на 2020 рік, чисельність населення – 1 866 493 осіб, причому 21,9 % населення проживає у містах, а 78,1 % – у сільській місцевості.

За чисельністю населення Хорезмська область посідає 11 місце серед інших областей республіки. Щільність населення – 249 осіб/км². Найбільше місто - Ургенч.

На офіційному сайті Комітету з міжнаціональних відносин та дружніх зв'язків із зарубіжними країнами при Кабінеті міністрів Республіки Узбекистан опубліковано такі відомості про чисельність національних меншин у Хорезмській області на 1 січня 2017 року:

 казахи - 10591 чол.
 корейці - 4300 чол.
 росіяни - 6023 чол.
 татари - 3668 чол.

Природа

Клімат
Клімат — різко континентальний, із спекотним і сухим літом за досить холодної зими.

У зимовий період температура повітря в Хорезмській області та сусідньому Каракалпакстані в середньому нижче на 5-8°C порівняно з рештою південної та східної частин Узбекистану.

Середньорічна температура становить +12,0°C, середня температура січня дорівнює -5,0°C, середня температура липня - +30,0°C. Абсолютний мінімум температури становив -32°C, абсолютний температурний максимум - +48°C.

У середньому на території району випадає 80-100 мм опадів за рік (основна їхня частина припадає на весну та осінь). Вегетаційний період триває 200-210 днів. Ці показники є одними із найнижчих серед областей Узбекистану.

Ґрунти
Ґрунтовий покрив адирів утворений в основному солончаками і меншою мірою — лугово-серознімними ґрунтами. Ґрунтовий покрив низовин — піщаний.

Адміністративний поділ
Станом на 2023 рік область розділена на 11 районів (туманів) та 2 міста обласного підпорядкування:
 Ургенч
 Багатський - сел. Багат
 Гурленський - м. Гурлен
 Кошкупирський - м. Кошкупир
 Ургенчський - сел. Караул
 Хазараспський - м. Хазарасп
 Ханкинський - м. Ханка
 Хівинський - м. Хіва
 Шаватський - м. Шават
 Янгібазарський - сел. Янгібазар
 Янгіарикський - сел. Янгіарик
У 1938 році Хорезмська область ділилася на 9 районів (Гурленський, Кош-Купирський, Мангітський, Ургенцький, Хазараспський, Ханкінський, Хівінський, Шаватський, Янгі-Арикський) та 2 міста обласного підпорядкування (Ургенч та Хіва).

1950 року був утворений Янгі-Базарський район, а 1953-го — Багатський район. 1957 року Мангітський район було передано Каракалпакській АРСР.

У 1959 році Багатський та Янги-Базарський райони були скасовані. У 1963 році скасовано Кушкупірський, Ургенцький та Хонкінський райони.

1964 року відновлено Ургенцький район, 1967-го — Кушкупірський, 1970-го — Багатський, 1973-го — Ханкінський, 1981-го — Янгібазарський.

1976 року утворено місто обласного підпорядкування Дружба, 1983-го — Ханка і Шават, а 1984 — Гурлен. 1992 року Гурлен, Ханка та Шават були позбавлені статусу міст обласного підпорядкування.

У 1998 році місто Дружба було перейменовано на Пітнак. 2002 року містами обласного підпорядкування перестали бути Пітнак та Хіва. У 2017 році Хіва знову стала містом обласного підпорядкування.

Історія
26 квітня 1920 була створена Хорезмська Народна Радянська Республіка, 30 жовтня 1923 - Хорезмська Соціалістична Радянська Республіка, яка існувала до 27 жовтня 1924, потім у результаті національно-державного розмежування Середньої Азії її територія увійшла до складу  Узбецької та  Туркменської РСР.

Економіка
Хорезмська область одна із аграрно-індустріальних регіонів Узбекистану. Важливу роль економіки області займає сільське господарство.

У ньому все більшу роль і значення мають фермерські господарства, кількість яких після реформи укрупнення перевищила показник 5000. Фермери здають близько 98% бавовни-сирцю та 65% зерна, що вирощується в Хорезмі.

Місцева промисловість, головним чином, пов'язана із переробкою сільськогосподарської продукції. Також є підприємства з виробництва килимів, будівельних матеріалів та харчових продуктів.

Розвивається сфера туризму, у якій особливу увагу займають послуги, що надаються іноземним туристам.

Зокрема, в 2006 році Хорезм відвідало понад 30 000 туристів, з яких близько 29 000 або 86% припадає на частку гостей з країн далекого зарубіжжя.

Промисловість
Місцева промисловість пов'язана головним чином з переробкою сільськогосподарської продукції. Також є підприємства з виробництва килимів, будівельних матеріалів та харчових продуктів. У Дустліку діє складальний завод «Мерседес».

Транспорт
 Протяжність залізниць на території області - понад 130 км.
 Протяжність автомобільних доріг 2,3 тис. км (в тому числі з асфальтобетонним покриттям близько 2 тис. км).
 Є авіаційне сполучення з низкою міст  Центральної Азії,  Росії та інших країн СНД.
Між адміністративним центром області та історичним містом за маршрутом Ургенч (аеропорт) — Хіва (старе місто) діє міжміський тролейбус.

We are struck by certain parallels between medicine and education in a recent essay by Atul Gawande. He critiques the medical field's high valuation of the heroic physician or surgeon who swoops in with an emergency procedure and saves a patient's life. Gawande offers an alternative view of heroism, one that prizes incremental improvement: "Success, therefore, is not about the episodic, momentary victories, though they do play a role. It is about the longer view of incremental steps that produce sustained progress. That, such clinicians argue, is what making a difference really looks like. In fact, it is what making a difference looks like in a range of endeavors." We think education is one of those endeavors. Implementing rigorous, incremental, human-centered, quality improvement processes is an efficient and efficacious antidote to our fascination with "silver bullet" education programs that frequently don't yield promised results.

Q: Twitter APIv2 Expansions Using Tweepy I have a pretty basic application which uses Tweepy's StreamingClient to stream tweets from a defined list of users. When one of them tweets, I have a couple conditions based on keywords to determine if I should alert myself. I want it to send me both the text of the tweet and the username of who sent it. I can do the former, but can figure out how to get the username.
From what I have seen I need to use expansions, but I'm a complete novice and don't know how I would integrate that into my code because the majority of the documentation for expansions is on the twitter API and I'm not sure how to apply that to my python code which uses tweepy.
Stripped down version of my code, currently just handling the tweet text is as follows ( I want to print user name in addition to tweet.text):
import tweepy
import json
import re
import logging

class MyListener(tweepy.StreamingClient):
    def on_tweet(self, tweet):
        keyword = ["xxxx", "yyyy","zzzz"]
        key_patterns = [r'\b%s\b' % re.escape(s.strip()) for s in keyword]
        key_there = re.compile('|'.join(key_patterns))
        if key_there.search(tweet.text):
            print(tweet.text)

        else:
            print("No Match")

    def on_error(self, status):
        print(status)
        return True

twitter_stream = MyListener("token")

twitter_stream.get_rules()
twitter_stream.filter()

A: I'm a little late here, nevertheless, I shall be dropping an answer in case anybody finds it helpful in the future. To access User data in Twitter API V2, you need to pass expansions = author_id to the filter method. Now, you can use the user_fields parameter to pass your desired user fields. However, by default, name, username and id will be returned. Specify any other desired fields in a comma-separated list without spaces between commas and fields. (Refer https://docs.tweepy.org/en/stable/expansions_and_fields.html)
For the different user fields, refer https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/data-dictionary/object-model/user
You also need to change the on_tweet method to on_data. The data will be received as a json string, consisting of data, includes, and matching_rules fields
(Refer https://docs.tweepy.org/en/stable/streamingclient.html).
Your code will look like this:
import tweepy
import json
import re
import logging

class MyListener(tweepy.StreamingClient):
     def on_data(self, data):
        jsonData = json.loads(data)
        print(jsonData) #notice the different fields. 'username' comes with the key 'users' which itself comes in the 'includes' field.
        tweetText = jsonData['data']['text']
        username = jsonData['includes']['users']['username']
        print(username)
        keyword = ["xxxx", "yyyy","zzzz"]
        key_patterns = [r'\b%s\b' % re.escape(s.strip()) for s in keyword]
        key_there = re.compile('|'.join(key_patterns))
        if key_there.search(tweetText):
            print(tweetText)

        else:
            print("No Match")

    def on_error(self, status):
        print(status)
        return True

twitter_stream = MyListener("token")

twitter_stream.get_rules()
twitter_stream.filter(expansions = ['author_id'], user_fields = ["<required fields>"])

A: tweet objects has a user atribute, and the user attribute has a screen_name attribute, this is the username.
You can get it this way:
class MyListener(tweepy.StreamingClient):
    def on_tweet(self, tweet):
        keyword = ["xxxx", "yyyy","zzzz"]
        key_patterns = [r'\b%s\b' % re.escape(s.strip()) for s in keyword]
        key_there = re.compile('|'.join(key_patterns))
        if key_there.search(tweet.text):
            print(tweet.text)
            print(tweet.user.screen_name)

        else:
            print("No Match")

2019 Visit Otley Christmas Video released
Ain't We Got Fun in Otley this Christmas?
Take dozens of volunteers, 23 ukulele players, eight ballroom dancers, nine pubgoers, eight Morris Men (and Women), two coffee shops and their customers, six Cub Scouts (and two leaders), five walkers, six butchers, one baker, one florist, a garden centre, numerous pies (mince and pork), a bunch of snowmen, loads of sparkly lights, a town crier, two Santas and a cast of amateur extras and you'll come close to assembling the cast of this year's Visit Otley Christmas Film: Ain't We Got Fun in Otley.
Backed by a cover version of the 1921 foxtrot Ain't We Got Fun performed by the Otley Ukulele Orchestra, the film's camera takes viewers on a journey through Otley's fabulous community festive spirt. On the way, visits are paid to community groups with members aged from nine to their nineties in the form of 2nd Otley Cub Scouts and Otley Action for Older People, local independent businesses such as the town's three award-winning butchers and chocolatier-to-the-stars Patisserie Viennoise, a variety of pubs and cafés, and festive events including the annual Otley Victorian Fayre and Otley Christmas Tree Festival.
Over the years, Ain't We Got Fun, written by Richard A. Whiting, Raymond B. Egan and Gus Khan has been performed by everyone from Doris Day to Bing Crosby, with the most famous rendition (until now) probably being Peggy Lee's 1959 big band take on the classic. Visit Otley's version has been re-worked with amended lyrics by Richard Sabey of Otley-based community arts organisation the Big Hoo-Ha Company, while lead vocals are by multi-instrumentalist and Otley Ukulele Orchestra founder Jennifer Pugh.
The film is the third festive offering from Visit Otley following the viral smashes of 2017's Oak & The Ash that playfully mimicked the look and feel of large corporate Christmas adverts and 2018's rousing Twelve Days of Otley Christmas.
Otley Town Council and Otley Bid provided the financial backing for the film, while the concept and execution are by Visit Otley's PR and marketing agency Endure Communications and filming/editing by Menston's MCharMedia.
Chair of Otley Town Council's Trade & Tourism committee Paul Carter said: "For a small market town, Otley's fun Christmas community spirit is second to none. In an era where the nation has perhaps never been more divided, we wanted to emphasise all the things that unite us at this special time of year. We hope it encourages as many people as possible to come and sample that spirit for themselves, whether at one of our fabulous Christmas events or shopping at our many independent stores."
Chair of Otley BID Thomas Hatley said: "Community spirit is what unites us, from the town's many selfless volunteers to our incredible independent businesses – which is why we are proud to have once more contributed to Otley's festive video. We feel it highlights just how unique a town this is, and we hope to see many more people visiting us to have fun in Otley."

Rob Zitz, senior vice president and chief strategy officer of the government systems group at Maxar Technologies' (NYSE: MAXR) SSL business, has received an award for his leadership role in Executive Mosaic's 4×24 program, designed for the government contracting industry's most senior and most influential executives.
Jim Garrettson, CEO and founder of leading media and events hosting company Executive Mosaic, presented Zitz with his unprecedented sixth-time award for serving six times as the chairman of the company's 4X24 program.
Garrettson said that as a key leader and six-time chairman, Zitz drove the community with his experience and guidance, which are among the critical factors in the success of the program. He noted that leaders who serve as chairman ensure that the pier-based events serve first and foremost the needs of the peer group itself.
Zitz stands above those who served as chairman and invested their time and energy into the program to support his peers and the mission, he added.


The Finger Control Mitts Restraint by Posey helps patients refrain from the urge of scratching, picking or interfering with catheters and IVs. Because it allows the fingers to be separated equally, it is less-restricting and gives the individual control. They are made from machine washable fiber, so they are easy to keep clean and sanitary. The mitts are easily secured with a loop strap, hook and connect strap, which helps limit the patient's range of motion, when necessary.
It comes with the option of being open or closed end. Open end has the ability to accommodate pulse oximeter probes, closed end is mesh covered and allows for simple skin checks. This restraint mitt is often used in stroke patients. It encourages individuals to use the affected limb by constricting the unaffected limp. Using the affected limb allows the patient to restore and regain motor function. They can also be used in combination with limb holders, such as the Posey Deluxe Quilted Limb Holder or the Posey Non-Locking Nylon Cuffs, which allows the patient to heal in a much faster time frame.
Do the 2816 hand mitts contain latex?
This item is latex free.
I used this for my mother, who is brain damaged from enchaphalitis. She is constantly scratching and tearing at her skin, primarily on her face. The mitts stopped the behavior and actually seemed to calm her down.
These open end mitts are not made of mesh (hand side), and they allow fingers to peep through at the ends, allowing one to see them. They are also washable. Good product, just took a while to receive due to the prescription issues. I ordered and emailed them immediately afterwards with the prescription, took about 2 weeks before someone contacted me requesting the prescription to be emailed again. It would be better to receive the "confirmation" email after the prescription has been reviewed by the company.
order cancelled, order cancelled, order cancelled!!!
I like the pillow concept but I worry about the strap and tightness around the wrist in order so it does not allow the hand come out. I also can not keep the fingers in the slots of the mitt.
I like the pillow form it is soft but does allow the hand to come out if not tight enough around the wrist. I worry if I have it too tight around the wrist for the blood circulation. The plastic belt loop is hard and can irriate or hurt around the wrist and hand.
Finger control mitts used for the adults with motion disabilities or cognitive that are generally at the risk of pulling out catheters or injuring themselves. The major advantage of the finger control mitt product is that it is secured with Velcro and it includes the connecting straps which help to limit the motion range whenever necessary. The finger control mitt is available only in two sizes and it fits all the adults.
When the doctor informed me that I need a mitt for my husband, I thought it's kind of weird. He goes to explain how the mitt will be used, saying that I need to put it in his left hand as his right side of the body is the one affected by stroke. I did just that, and slowly I understood why he asked me to do that. My husband was forced to use his right hands to move! For about 2 months I put the mitt in his unaffected hand and I observed how he recover. Right now, he is completely able to move!
I have a terrible habit of scratching myself so badly. I couldn't get rid of it my self so my mom got me this. Especially while sleeping my hands get out of my control and it made me have a lot of scars. Anyone who has the same habit as mine would need it. It's not stuffy at all. You can have good night sleep having wearing it of course.
