Angels Baseball Donates $20,000 to the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute
Annie Santos, Sharilyn Kelly, Rob Gunsalus, and two Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute patients
received the donation from the Angels.
For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Angels Baseball presented a $20,000 check to the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute at MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach during a special pediatric cancer awareness night at Angel-Stadium.
The Los Angeles Angels held the event to promote childhood cancer awareness for the month of September. Annie Santos, program director, Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute, Sharilyn Kelly, chief nursing officer, MemorialCare Miller Children's and Women's Hospital Long Beach, and two pediatric patients: EJ Ediae and Nathaniel Barrance, were invited to attend the game and accepted the check on behalf of the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute.
The Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute provides quality, compassionate care to children with cancer, sickle cell disease and other serious blood disorders. It is one of only 10 children's hospitals nationwide to have full accreditation through the Commission of Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.
"We are very thankful for Angel Baseball's generation donation," said Annie Santos, program director of Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute. "The money will be used to fund research to give our patients access to the latest therapies and technologies."
Every year, more than 800 children are treated at Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Institute. Their services and programs ensure that all their patients and their families get the physical, mental, and emotional support they need during their stay.

Die Kirche Herz Jesu ist die katholische Kirche in Oebisfelde, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Oebisfelde-Weferlingen im Landkreis Börde in Sachsen-Anhalt. Sie ist die größte Kirche der Gardelegener Pfarrei "St. Hildegard" und gehört zum Dekanat Stendal des Bistums Magdeburg. Die nach dem Heiligsten Herz Jesu benannte Kirche befindet sich in der Bahnhofstraße 24 und ist im Denkmalverzeichnis des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt unter der Erfassungsnummer 094 84842 als Baudenkmal aufgeführt.

Geschichte
Mit der Einführung der Reformation 1542 in Oebisfelde, das damals zum Archidiakonat Eschenrode im Bistum Halberstadt gehörte, wurde die Bevölkerung und die Oebisfelder Kirche evangelisch-lutherisch.

Erst mit der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts, begünstigt durch den 1871 errichteten Bahnhof Oebisfelde, siedelten sich wieder Katholiken in Oebisfelde an. Am 26. Dezember 1892 zelebrierte Pfarrverweser Heinrich Haehling von Lanzenauer aus Gardelegen den ersten katholischen Gottesdienst in Oebisfelde in einem Saal des Schützenhauses. 1892 wohnten bereits rund 100 Katholiken in Oebisfelde und den umliegenden Ortschaften. Sie wurden zunächst von den Geistlichen aus Althaldensleben, Gardelegen und Helmstedt betreut.

1899 schickte der Bischof von Hildesheim wegen der vielen Katholiken in Velpke, wo damals aus politischen Gründen noch keine Kirche gebaut werden konnte, Vikar Joseph Evers nach Oebisfelde. Er wohnte zunächst in Gardelegen.

Im Dezember 1902 konnte an der Bahnhofstraße der damals noch selbstständigen Landgemeinde Kaltendorf für die Kirche das Fredemannsche Grundstück, das mit einem Wohnhaus bebaut war, angekauft werden. Im Januar 1903 zog Vikar Evers dort ein und begründete damit die Kirchengemeinde "Kaltendorf-Oebisfelde". Damals gehörten Kaltendorf und Oebisfelde zur Pfarrei Gardelegen im Dekanat Stendal. Von 1903 an wurden in Oebisfelde auch katholische Kirchenbücher geführt. Die Gottesdienste fanden von nun an bis zur Benediktion der Kirche in der Gaststätte "Jägerhof" statt. Nach der Versetzung Vikar Evers' im April 1908 wurde die Seelsorgestelle "Kaltendorf-Oebisfelde" mit Priestern aus dem Bistum Paderborn, zu dem Oebisfelde damals gehörte, besetzt. Erster dieser Geistlichen war Pfarrvikar Bernhard Knostmann.

Am 16. September 1906 erfolgte auf dem Grundstück die Grundsteinlegung der Kirche. Am 28. Juli 1907 wurde sie eingeweiht, und am 1. oder 18. August 1908 folgte durch Weihbischof Augustinus Gockel die bischöfliche Konsekration. 1912 wurde in Weferlingen eine zur Kirchengemeinde "Kaltendorf-Oebisfelde" gehörende Notkapelle eingerichtet, die trotz eines eigenen Seelsorgers noch bis 1966 zur Kirchengemeinde Oebisfelde gehörte. Mit Wirkung vom 1. April 1918 wurden die Landgemeinde Kaltendorf und die Stadt Oebisfelde zu einer neuen Stadtgemeinde "Oebisfelde-Kaltendorf" vereinigt.

Im Juni 1918 wurde das Helmsche Haus an der Gardelegener Straße erworben und darin eine Anstalt für Kommunikanten eingerichtet, die zunächst von einer Diasporahelferin des Erzbistums Paderborn geleitet wurde. Von 1922 bis 1926 wirkte Lorenz Jaeger, der spätere Erzbischof von Paderborn, als Pfarrvikar in Oebisfelde-Kaltendorf. 1927 wurde die Leitung der Kommunikantenanstalt, die auch Waisen und Kinder aus schwierigen Familienverhältnissen beherbergte, von der Kongregation der Franziskanerinnen von Salzkotten übernommen.

1938 wurde die Stadt "Oebisfelde-Kaltendorf" in "Oebisfelde" umbenannt. Ab 1940 wurde die Kommunikantenanstalt nur noch als Kinderheim genutzt, das "St. Norbertusstift" genannt wurde.

Am 1. Juli 1948 wurde die Kirchengemeinde Oebisfelde zur Filialkirchengemeinde erhoben. Während der DDR befand sich die Kirche im Sperrgebiet, außerhalb des Sperrgebietes wohnende Mitglieder der Kirchengemeinde durften die Kirche nicht aufsuchen. Für sie wurden seitens des Oebisfelder Geistlichen Gottesdienste außerhalb des Sperrgebietes gehalten, in evangelischen Kirchen und profanen Räumen. Von den Behörden der DDR wurde die Straße, an der sich die Kirche befindet, in Karl-Marx-Straße umbenannt, dies wurde nach der Wende wieder rückgängig gemacht.

Am 1. Mai 1960 wurde die katholische Pfarrei Oebisfelde eingerichtet. 1967 wurde die Turmspitze der Kirche wegen Bauschäden abgetragen, sie wurde bis heute nicht wieder errichtet. 1969 endete die Tätigkeit der Schwestern der Kongregation der Franziskanerinnen von Salzkotten im Kinderheim "St. Norbertusstift" und die Einrichtung wurde aufgegeben, die Stadt Oebisfelde nutzte das Haus fortan als Kinderkrippe.

1987 nahm die ehemalige Tochtergemeinde in Velpke wieder Kontakt zur Kirchengemeinde in Oebisfelde auf, von der Velpke inzwischen durch die Innerdeutsche Grenze getrennt war. Am 17. September 1987 traf sich eine Delegation der Velpker Kirchengemeinde im Pfarrhaus der Kirche St. Elisabeth in Mieste, da Oebisfelde im Sperrgebiet der DDR lag und daher von Fremden ohne Genehmigung nicht besucht werden konnte.

Seit dem 1. Dezember 2006 verfügt die Kirche über keinen ortsansässigen Priester mehr, sondern wird vom Pfarrer aus Gardelegen mitbetreut. Am 1. November 2007 wurde aus den Pfarreien Gardelegen und Oebisfelde, den Kuratien Kalbe und Mieste, sowie den Pfarrvikarien Beetzendorf und Klötze ein Gemeindeverbund errichtet. Damals gehörten zur Pfarrei Oebisfelde rund 310 Katholiken. Am 2. Mai 2010 wurde die heutige Pfarrei "St. Hildegard" errichtet, zu der seitdem die Herz-Jesu-Kirche gehört. Die Volkszählung in der Europäischen Union 2011 zeigte, dass von den 13.838 Einwohnern der Stadt Oebisfelde-Weferlingen 480, und somit 3,5 %, der römisch-katholischen Kirche angehörten. 2013 erfolgte die jüngste Renovierung der Kirche. Seit der Schließung der Kirche St. Antonius von Padua (Dähre) im Jahre 2015 ist die Herz-Jesu-Kirche die westlichste Kirche im Dekanat Stendal.

Architektur und Ausstattung
Die Kirche befindet sich in rund 62 Meter Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel, sie wurde nach Plänen von Maximilian Jagielski errichtet und bietet 168 Sitzplätze. Eine Herz-Jesu-Statue befindet sich in einer eigenen Seitenkapelle. Im Vorraum der Kirche befindet sich ein Missionskreuz, das an die Volksmission von 1952 erinnert.

Those may be the words of only one woman, but they convey the anguish faced by many.
Words such as those, led Tasleem, a Mumbai-based woman in her 40s, to start a campaign on the topic of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)over three years ago.
She started a change.org campaign in December 2011. Tasleem's goal was to collect enough signatures to present to the Bohra HighPriest, His Holiness Dr Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin, ordering a ban on this ritual.
I have heard about the online campaign butBohra women should understand that our religion advocates the procedure and they should follow it without any argument.
Nothing has changed since. This barbaric practice goes on unchecked to this day, and I believe legal intervention is necessary as soon as possible.
FGM, according to the WHO, comprises all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.
It has been widespread in many parts of Africa and the MiddleEast for centuries, but has been a particularly well-kept secret in India andPakistan, where it's practiced by the Dawoodi Bohra community under thespecious plea of 'an Islamic mandatory'.
Debate on this subject is generally taboo and any discussion sacrilege. The women of this community, are made to believe that it is practised all over the world, as well as crucial for their social acceptance.
However, it poses severe health risks to women besides serious having long-term physical and psychological ramifications.
More awareness needs to be raised within the Dawoodi Bohra community. Several attempts to do this have beenmade.
A blog, Break the Silence, for instance, aims to shed light on similar narrations and spread awareness on the cruel practice by questioning how men and women lack compassion for their daughters and grand daughters by putting them through such pain, and why female circumcision hasn't been made illegal in India.
Documentaries are also being made on the topic. A Pinch of Skin, portrays a string of women sharing their own experiences of FGM, and brings together voices of women who suffered.
It is important to note that it has been made clear byIslamic scholars that there is no mention of any type of genital mutilation in the Quran.
Religion has nothing to do with it (genital mutilation)…These are customary practices of certain traditional societies in some parts of Africa, where all women were genitally mutilated irrespective of their religion, caste or creed.
In light of recent judgements of the court, I am inclined to argue there is an incredibly strong case for legal intervention.
Article 25 guarantees every citizen the fundamental right to preach, practice and profess one's religious beliefs. In Javed vs State of Haryana (2003) and in Khurshed Ahmed Khan vs State of UP (2015), the court ruled that "what was protected under Article25 was the religious faith and not a practice which may run counter to public order, health or morality". It was also observed "that a practice did not acquire sanction of religion simply because it was permitted".
These lead me to the firm belief that FGM clearly fails on all counts and must go. Syedna Burhanuddin passed away in January 2014 and a bitter succession battle has ensued between Mufaddal Saifuddin and Khuzaima Qutbuddin for leadership of the Dawoodi Bohras, including litigation. While the two battle it out, may I plead that our courts intervene sua sponte/suo motu and criminalise FGM immediately.


Nagpur: Music lovers facing soaring temperature in the city found some solace in Sursaptak's programme titled 'Jhilmil Sitaron Ka...' which showcased super-hit songs picturized on five actresses with roots in West Bengal, at Scientific Society Hall, on Saturday.
Songs featuring actresses Jaya Bhaduri, Rakhee, Moushumi Chatterjee, Sharmila Tagore and Suchitra Sen were presented at the programme that was conceptualized by Suchitra Katarkar.
Starting off with 'Aey ri pawan, dhunde kise tera mann' and 'Tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi', the musical event gave a sneak peak into the amazing song list that lay ahead. Singles 'Megha chhaye aadhi raat', 'Bahon mein chale aao', 'Mera padhne mein nahi lage dil' and 'Sun ri pawan' were a few that were sung with immense finesse.
Duets 'Apne pyar ke sapne sach hue', 'Jaane jaan dhoondhta phir raha', 'Phir miloge kabhi' and 'Aaj madhosh hua jaaye rey' were also performed. Other songs like 'Gun guna rahe hain bhaware', 'Gar tum bhula na doge', 'Jhilmil sitaron ka angan hoga', 'Beeti na bitayi raina' and 'Rimjhim gire saawan' made the audience swing and sway their heads with the tune.
Anchor Shweta Shelgaonkar kept the audience entertained and informed about the actresses' personal and professional life.
Singers Pratiksha Pattalwar, Ashwini Lule, Rucha Yenurkar, Archana Uchke, Padmaja Sinha, Amol Kulkarni, Sangeeta Bhagat, Arun Ojharkar, Vijay Deshpande, Ashish Ghate, Apoorv Masodkar and Dheeraj Aatey presented the songs.
The accompanying artistes were Parimal Joshi, Pramod Bawane, Ashish Ghate, Ravi Satphale, Arya Deshpande and Nandu Gohane.

Q: WPF and PowerShell: Setting selected item on ComboBox when being used with ItemTemplate I have the below combo box setup as below:
<ComboBox x:Name="ComboBoxCountry" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="166,288,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="470" Height="24" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible">
<ComboBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <TextBlock Text="{Binding EnglishName}" />
    </DataTemplate>
</ComboBox.ItemTemplate>

As part of my script which to provide a bit of context is a user creation script with a templating feature I export the Selected Item to Json along with the other user details. I take the whole selected item with the below command (I have removed the other user details from the object for ease):
$UserObject = [PSCustomObject] @{
    "Country" = $MainScreenComboBoxCountry.SelectedItem
}

When I come back to import the template at a later date, my object is as below:

Country : @{TwoLetterISORegionName=AW; EnglishName=Aruba}

And when I call that, it expands correctly as below:
PS C:\Windows\system32> $JsonObject.UserDetails.Country

TwoLetterISORegionName EnglishName
---------------------- -----------
AW                     Aruba

But when I try to set the combobox back to that selected item, it does not work. The command I have used is:
$MainScreenComboBoxCountry.SelectedItem = $JsonObject.UserDetails.Country

But it does not select that item. I populate the combobox when the program loads, with the below code, which works fine:
Function Get-CountryCodes {
    $AllCultures = [System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::GetCultures([System.Globalization.CultureTypes]::SpecificCultures)
    $CountryDetails = @()

    $AllCultures | ForEach-Object {
        $DisplayName = $_.DisplayName.Split("(|)")
        $RegionInfo = New-Object System.Globalization.RegionInfo $PsItem.Name
        $CountryDetails += [PsCustomObject]@{
            Name = $RegionInfo.Name
            EnglishName = $RegionInfo.EnglishName
            TwoLetterISORegionName = $RegionInfo.TwoLetterISORegionName
        }
    }

    $Countries = $CountryDetails | Select-Object -Unique -Property TwoLetterISORegionName,EnglishName | Sort-Object EnglishName

    $Countries = $Countries | Where-Object TwoLetterISORegionName -CMatch "^[A-Z]*$"
    Return $Countries
}
$MainScreenComboBoxCountry.ItemsSource = Get-CountryCodes

Strangely I get no errors, but it just doesn't set the selected item.

A: I managed to resolve with the below code instead:
ForEach ($ComboBoxItem in $MainScreenComboBoxCountry.Items) {
            If ($ComboBoxItem.EnglishName -eq $JsonObject.UserDetails.Country.EnglishName) {
                $CorrectComboBoxItem = $ComboBoxItem
            }
        }
    $MainScreenComboBoxCountry.SelectedIndex = $MainScreenComboBoxCountry.Items.IndexOf($CorrectComboBoxItem)

This post was written by Elizabeth Ritchey, member of the SBS 2010-2011 MBA class, and co-chair of the Social Finance OBN.
On May 24th the Social Finance OBN (Oxford Business Network) and the Social Entrepreneurship OBNs teamed up for a joint trip down to London to visit the House of Lords.
Tim Jones, the Social Entrepreneurship sector consultant for SBS, hosted a lively panel discussion on the current state of Social Finance and Entrepreneurship.
We discussed everything from social impact bonds to how to build a sustainable future to getting back to the fundamentals of 'social'. After the panel we were treated to an insider's tour of the House of Lords by Lord Mawson and Baroness Steadman-Scott.
It was a wonderful afternoon packed with 'social' of all forms. Thank you again to Tim Jones for making it possible!

Govt To Give Farmers Power, Seeds Subsidy In Case Rains Fail
The government on Friday (05 June) announced it will offer subsidy on diesel, power and seeds to farmers in case a deficient monsoon affected crops.
Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh on Friday held a meeting with senior officials of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which earlier in the week had revised the monsoon forecast to "deficient", triggering drought fears.
Officials from the power, water resources, rural development, food, and fertiliser ministries, among others were also present in the meet.
"We will offer subsidy on diesel, power and seeds to farmers like last year to deal with the drought-like situation," Singh said after the meeting.
The minister said the government is fully prepared to face a drought-like situation. A nodal officer has been appointed in every department to deal with the deficient monsoon situation.
According to sources, the Centre may continue the Rs 10 per litre diesel subsidy this year as well.
The subsidy on seeds could be up to 50 per cent under different schemes, they added. Similarly, free power could be given to farmers for irrigation.
Earlier this week, Singh had said the Centre was ready with contingency plans for 580 districts and was in touch with the States and farm research bodies to tackle the situation.
A new crop insurance policy would be introduced this year to protect farmers' income. The Centre would import pulses to improve domestic supplies and check rising prices of pulses.
On June 2, the Met Department revised its forecast from 93 per cent to 88 per cent Long Period Average (LPA), with the north-west region of the country expected to be hit the most.
Last year, the country had received 12 per cent less rains, which hit the production of grains, cotton, and oilseeds.
The growth of agriculture and allied sectors stood at a mere 0.2 per cent in the 2014-15 fiscal.
Foodgrains production declined to 251.12 million tonnes in the 2014-15 crop year (July-June) from a record production of 265.04 million tonnes in the previous year.

Can fences prevent terrorism?
By - The Washington Times - Sunday, January 26, 2003
At a time when the United States and its allies are preparing their military might for a possible battlewith Iraq, the latest statement attributed to Osama bin Laden (the infamous leader of the international network of al Qaeda terror movement operating in 80 countries) that Muslims should unite against the "evil crusader coalition" is another stark reminder that the war against terrorism intensifies.
Indeed, leaders of affiliated terrorist groups are also escalating their education in hatred and inciting violence against their adversaries. Nowhere is this current trend of propaganda and psychological warfare more evident than in connection with the ongoing al-Aksa intifada, now on the eve of the Jan. 28 Israeli national elections. Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the founder of Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement,) whose covenant advocates "holy terrorism," has recently declared: "Our resistance is not going to stop, before the election, during the election or after the election…. It will move forward until victory or martyrdom."
How do you stop Palestinian children armed with knives from infiltrating the northern Gaza Strip Jewish settlement of Netzarim? Or intercept gunmen attacking Israeli civilian motorists traveling the West Bank roads, killing and injuring men, women and children? Or prevent a suicide bombing that killed 22 people and wounded 100 others (many of them foreign workers) in Tel Aviv?
One of the most hotly debated counterterrorism strategies is the contention a wall of separation between Israel and Palestine can improve security and ultimately lead to reactivation of the peace process. More specifically, in an effort to reduce the threat of Palestinian terrorism to Israel's security within the "Green Line" (Israel proper), and to protect some of the Jewish settlers in the West Bank, the Israeli government decided to construct a barrier of some 115 kilometers close to northern portions of the Green Line. Another section of the fence is planned for the Jerusalem area. Although construction of the fence began last year and recently accelerated the issue of building a barrier to improve security for the Jewish state has been extremely controversial.
Some historical and political background is instructive. The West Bank is that portion of the British-administered Palestine Mandate conquered by Jordan during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. This territory was subsequently annexed by the Hashemite Kingdom and then captured by Israel in the June 1967 war. As a result of the 1993 Oslo agreement, between Israel and the PLO, part of the West Bank was handed over to Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority. Currently, Israel is reoccupying major Palestinian population centers other than Jericho in response to waves of terrorist attacks launched from the West Bank.
What is popularly known as the "Green Line," separating the West Bank from Israel, was established by the Armistice Agreement between Israel and Jordan in 1949. This line was not intended to be either a final or temporary political border between the two countries. The location of the line made no sense as a political border. For example, for 19 years the line divided Jerusalem, precluding Jews from worshiping at the Western Wall, the most holy site for Judaism. It divided other communities and reached to within 11 miles of Tel Aviv, Israel's largest population center.
Indeed, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, of Nov. 22, 1967, called upon Israel to withdraw its armed forces "from territories occupied in the recent conflict." Arab states sought to require that Israel withdraw to the pre-1967 lines. They argued the resolution should specify that the withdrawal be from "all the territories." This contention was rejected in part because the resolution also required that "all states in the area… live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries." The Green Line boundaries were manifestly not secure. But what will these "secure" final borders look like?
The Israelis themselves are deeply divided on this issue. Vocal opponents of building a fence are the Jewish settlers in the West Bank who object to being separated from the Israelis living within the Green Line.
On the other hand, there are those that believe the only solution to the terrorist challenge is to dismantle the settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Then there are specific proposals by Israeli independent strategic thinkers, such as Dan D. Schuestan at Jerusalem Shalom Center, that are ambitious, comprehensive and controversial.
His proposal could involve 400 miles of fence. It would carve out an area east of Tel Aviv to give Israel slightly increased defense in depth and to protect the environs of Ben-Gurion Airport, Israel's only international airport.
The fence would include West Bank settlements near Jerusalem in its protected zone. Depending on how it would be configured, 10,000 Palestinians and 30,000 Israelis would end up, from their point of view, on the "wrong side" of the fence. This aspect of the plan presents a difficult political problem for Israel's Likud government seeking re-election later this week. Abandoning 30,000 settlers at this time could be regarded as making concessions in the face of terrorism. It would also suggest that Jews could not live secure lives in portions of the West Bank controlled by Palestinians, whereas Palestinians live in Israel with full political rights.
The Schueftan plan also contemplates a corridor across the Jordan River Valley to Jericho, connecting to Jordan. Through this corridor, Palestinians could travel freely to any place in the world and persons and cargoes en route to the West Bank and Israel could be searched for arms and contraband. This critical aspect of the plan distinguishes the wall of separation from the Berlin Wall, which was intended to keep East Germans within the Iron Curtain. The proposed Israeli wall of separation, by virtue of the "Jericho corridor," would permit Palestinians to travel anywhere in the world.
In sum, separation walls are only a temporary counterterrorism response. It is clear, however, that no rapprochement, let alone settlement, of the Palestinian-Israeli confrontation is likely to emerge before both parties are persuaded to erase from their hearts and minds the real or imagined threats they present each other. This would require ending terrorism, mounting an educational effort of peace, culture and coexistence cooperation.
The Schueftan plan has many technical problems that will need to be resolved. However, it may be the best temporary solution to an intractable problem.

Özil, Mertesacker go full 90 minutes in 3-0 Germany win over Austria
Two Arsenal men played well as their side brushed Austria away.
By Thomas Wachtel@Brohan_Cruyff Sep 6, 2013, 4:53pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Özil, Mertesacker go full 90 minutes in 3-0 Germany win over Austria
"yeah I see you"
Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker both started for Germany as they defeated Austria 3-0 in a World Cup qualifier. Both Arsenal men played well, though neither figured in the scoring on either side.
Özil was one of Germany's better players in the attack, though he didn't get on the scoresheet. His movement and passing ability were evident, and he had a few of the standout plays you may have come to expect if you've been watching YouTube videos for the past week. He had one signature backheel in the box that almost led to a first-half chance; he also played a spectacular throughball to Marco Reus coming in from the left flank that did lead to a scoring chance. Reus didn't put it home, but it was a great move. Overall, Özil was impressive.
Özil's full match stats: 99% pass accuracy. 50% aerial duels won. 87 touches. 1 shot, 1 foul, 2 dribbles. @WhoScored rating: 7.1.
— Ashburton Gröve (@ashburton_grove) September 6, 2013
"99% pass accuracy." Put your pants back on. Honestly he wasn't at his best, but he was certainly good enough to keep my excitement momentum going.
Mertesacker had the game you would expect him to have. He got punished a few times for being tall with some questionable fouls, but for the most part was resolute and positioned himself well to break up play and remove options from the Austrian attack. He won over half his aerial duels, and earned the same WhoScored rating, for whatever that's worth.
All in all, since neither one was injured, it was a good result. That both played well was just icing on the cake. Hopefully they can now rest for the remainder of the week.


Am gardening at community plot raise bed so space is a premium.
Is it a viable idea to plant zucchini on to top now and lift potatoes and zukes later in Oct?
I want to reuse space with new crop of zucchini but am questioning if keeping potatoes in the bed will give me advantage over basement storing?
In the past I've left some potatoes to dig later, some time after the plants were finished. It didn't work out well for me, as wireworms or other pests enjoyed the delayed harvest at my expense.
I was also going to mention that leaving potatoes in the ground would be an invitation for insects or even mice and voles to eat them. I would dig them and get them safely into storage after letting the skins cure for a week or two to harden them.
Thank you! Yeah, while I am ok sharing some I will dig and store my harvest first.

Sublocade™ is a once-monthly injectable buprenorphine formulation available for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Image courtesy of Indivior.
Sublocade™ can be administered through subcutaneous injection. Image courtesy of Indivior.
The drug contains buprenorphine, a partial agonist of mu-opioid receptor.
Sublocade™ (buprenorphine extended-release) is a partial agonist indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe opioid use disorder (OUD) in adults.
Formerly known as RBP-6000, it was discovered and developed by Indivior, which submitted a new drug application (NDA) to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2017.
The Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee and Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee of the FDA voted 18 to one in favour of approval in October 2017. Approval was given in November 2017.
Indivior plans to launch the drug in the US market in Q1 2018.
Commonly known as opioid addiction, OUD is a chronic, relapsing disease characterised by repeated opioid use.
Symptoms include prolonged self-administration of opioid substances for non-medical purposes, a strong desire to use opioids, and withdrawal when in-take is abruptly stopped.
According to the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 12 million people are affected by OUD in the US, while an average of four people die of opioid overdose an hour.
Sublocade™ is composed of buprenorphine, a partial agonist of mu-opioid receptor. The drug works by delivering sustained plasma levels of buprenorphine, which transforms into high mu-opioid receptor occupancy in the brain.
The drug is available in 100mg and 300mg doses for subcutaneous use.
The safety and efficacy of Sublocade™ was tested in two clinical trials.
The first trial was a randomised, controlled clinical study, while the second was an open-label trial.
The two clinical studies enrolled 848 adult patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe OUD, who began treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual film. The results were collated based on urine tests and self-reports.
Results demonstrated that a higher proportion of patients treated with Sublocade™ showed no evidence of illicit opioid use in the treatment period compared to the placebo group.
The most common side effects reported in patients treated with Sublocade™ were constipation, nausea, vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, injection site pain, itching at the injection site, and abnormal liver function.
Indivior also conducted an opioid blockade study on Sublocade™ 300mg to evaluate the subjective effects of illicit opioids, including drug-liking. The study was conducted for 12 weeks.
The results of this study showed that Sublocade™ 300mg fully blocked the drug-liking effects of potent opioid pain medication hydromorphone.
Indivior also conducted a 24-week Phase III pivotal clinical study on Sublocade™ 300mg. The patients were randomised to receive six once-monthly Sublocade™ 300mg doses, two once-monthly Sublocade™ 300mg doses, followed by four once-monthly Sublocade™ 100mg doses, or six once-monthly injections of placebo.
Results demonstrated that both Sublocade™ dosage regimens were superior to placebo in achieving more illicit opioid-free weeks. The overall safety of the drug was found to be consistent with the known safety profile of transmucosal buprenorphine.
The most common adverse reactions reported during the clinical study in patients administered with Sublocade™ were constipation, nausea, vomiting, abnormal liver enzymes, headache, sedation, and somnolence.

Luat Khoa and The Vietnamese's Press Release on the Indictment of Three Members of The Independent Journalists Association of Vietnam (IJAVN)'s
As media organizations, Luat Khoa and The Vietnamese magazines vehemently denounce the three recent arrests of the three members of IJAVN: Le Huu Minh Tuan (detained on June 12, 2020), Nguyen Tuong Thuy (detained on May 23, 2020, and Pham Chi Dung (detained on November 21, 2019).
All of these three journalists were charged with the crime "publish, store, and disseminate or propagandize information, documentation, and products against the Social Republic of Vietnam" (Article 117 of Vietnam's current Penal Code). This penal code has already been viewed as a blatant violation of people's freedom of speech and free press by many human rights organizations.
IJAVN – together with running its Vietnam Thoi Bao newspaper – is a regular civil society organization formed under the right to associate, and it sets to implement the right for a free press and promote an independent and decent media for Vietnam.
Luat Khoa and The Vietnamese magazines share and support the values in which the IJAVN pursues.
As journalists, we ultimately care for the safety of our other colleagues. We consider the reality of a government trying to silence any journalist to be an imminent threat to us and anyone who practices free speech.
Silencing journalists is also a violation of the right to read free and independent media of the people.
We have realized that the call for the government of Vietnam to release immediately and unconditionally these three journalists of IJAVN would be unrealistic in the situation of Vietnam. However, that action is the only righteous conduct that the Vietnamese government could act right now, and therefore, we call on them to immediately do so.
We also call on all of the journalists, the activists, the public, the international organizations, and the foreign governments to jointly monitor and pressure the Vietnamese authorities to release the three journalists, Pham Chi Dung, Nguyen Tuong Thuy, and Le Huu Minh Tuan; and to call on the government to respect the Vietnamese people's right for a free press and the freedom to form associations.

The Vietnamese: On Our Second Anniversary
On November 8, 2017, the editorial board of The Vietnamese launched our website with only one purpose: to bring more information on human rights and the political situation in Vietnam to the international audience.
Two years ago, we realized that foreigners don't really understand Vietnam and that that they don't know what Vietnam's politics are really like. They may not know that the sunny and relaxed place of tourism in the tropics has been controlled by a single political party for more than seven decades in the North and for more than 40 years in the whole of the country. The Vietnamese people live under an authoritarian state and so have no free and fair elections. They do not elect any of the leaders of their country because those leaders are selected behind closed doors by the Vietnamese Communist Party. Vietnam's government is the type of regime that the Umbrella Movement was trying to avoid for Hong Kong people in 2014 when protests broke out.
As democracy activists, it has been a bit mind-boggling for us to see the world wholeheartedly support the rights of the people of Hong Kong but while just giving a pass to us Vietnamese – a people who also believe in democracy – who continue to suffer under an authoritarian regime.
It was then that we decided that we needed to write in English about Vietnam. We felt a need to bring the stories and the lives of those who suffer when their human rights are being violated by the state and to make these stories more widely seen within international communities.
For two years, we have been working mostly voluntarily to bring forward our magazine's objectives. More importantly, we have brought out the stories of our people and our human rights activists to the world. It has been two years with not a lot of financial support, but it was also two years in which we received tremendous human resources for free. We know that we are heading in the right direction when more people reach out and try to work with us when we have no means to pay them. We believe that they are happy to contribute because they understand that the world needs to hear our voices. The good news is that in 2019, we were successful in raising enough funds to pay for our freelancers and we hope that more writers will join us since we issued our call for more pitches one month ago.
We thank you, our readers, for your support and belief in us. We thank you and call on writers to walk with us and realize our goal to be a platform to advocate for each and every Vietnamese individual's human rights and democracy. We call on all of you to share and raise your voices for our dreams, our visions, and to support our daily struggle for Vietnam to become a democratic country where the rule of law and human rights are respected.

What an ex-MotoGP racer was doing at the back of the BSB grid
Life hasn't been easy for 2014 Moto2 world champion Tito Rabat since August 2018.
Since suffering horrendous injuries in a MotoGP crash that wasn't his fault – he wasn't even on a motorbike at the time, after all! – his career has never quite recovered.
The result of those Silverstone wounds has been a somewhat wandering career since then that has taken him from World to British Superbikes via the Spanish championship, all without much in the way of success.
But now he's finding his feet again in domestic series, the 33-year-old has finally found his way back to what he's always hunted for the most in his racing: having fun.
And while his results might be a far cry from the glory days of Moto2 championship success, it's obvious that this eccentric racer isn't holding on too tightly to those memories anyway.
Rabat's time as a MotoGP racer never quite lived up to the billing that came with his record in the lower classes. He was Moto2 world champion against Mika Kallio and Maverick Vinales in 2014, and third in the series both the year before and after.
Stepping up to MotoGP in 2016 on a satellite Marc VDS Honda with very little in the way of factory support, he was largely left to his own devices by HRC and it showed – with a hard-to-ride machine becoming even more complicated for him.
Consistent but consistently out of the points too, he finished his rookie year in 21st before improving slightly to 19th the following year, then left the Belgian squad in 2018 for pastures new, heading instead to the Avintia Ducati team.
In the early stages of 2018, there had been signs of gradual improvement, Rabat more often than not finishing in the points and looking to slowly be getting to grips with the premier class.
Has MotoGP lost its quirkiest team? Every rider ranked
That all came crashing to an end at Silverstone. One of the first fallers on the badly-resurfaced new circuit, which had become waterlogged and was aquaplaning riders into the gravel at Vale, he went down at high speed but fairly innocuously, walking away from the fall just as other riders started to arrive to the turn.
The session was inexplicably not red flagged by MotoGP race control even as the inevitability of what happened next played out. Rabat's former team-mate Franco Morbidelli then went down too, sending his bike flying into the gravel trap and wiping out Rabat from behind as he walked away. Shattering the Spaniard's leg, it ended his season – and effectively his MotoGP career.
Though he returned in 2019 with Avintia and stayed into 2020, the spark that had shown at the beginning of 2018 was gone. Scoring points in only four of the 14 races in his final full MotoGP season, he ended the year in his worst-ever 22nd position in the championship and headed off to World Superbikes for 2021.
That too ended badly, with a mid-season split from the Barni Ducati team and only 16th in the overall standings at the end of the year in a season where he was largely invisible.
Heading to the Spanish superbike championship for 2022, though, has been a breath of fresh air for Rabat, who has always very much been the sort of racer who, rather than being there for the competitive buzz, is racing simply because he adores motorbikes.
Back to winning ways at last and leading the championship, he told The Race exclusively during his latest foray into British Superbikes at Thruxton that it's been a long journey to find his love for the sport again in the domestic classes.
"This year in the Spanish championship, I'm enjoying myself again, fighting to win," he said.

— Tito Rabat (@TitoRabat) July 23, 2022
"You go very fast in this championship, too – I don't think it's so far from the guys in World Superbikes.
"I've got more time to do other things as well – I'm here at BSB, and I hope to do some more later in the year too.
"If you have a good bike, a good team, are able to stay at the front, this is all you need to stay happy.
"Making podiums and winning races is the best – it doesn't matter where you are. People go fast in every championship, and it's difficult to win everywhere.
"Winning makes you go to sleep happy and to wake up happy, and this is all I think a rider really needs."
And that joint desire to have fun and to win is partly what led Rabat to Thruxton, of all places, for a British Superbike debut.
Jumping straight into the deep end with the TAG Honda team and with no testing whatsoever of a superbike with no traction control, it was a rather lacklustre weekend for Rabat, who finished last in every race he completed – but it may well have served its function in instructing his future plans.
What a domestic series can teach MotoGP about fan strategy
Admitting that he had a lot of fun despite his results as he learned his way around, it very much felt more like a chance for him to scout out the level of the British series and the feeling of the bike before perhaps committing to a full-time move for 2023, complete with a pre-season testing plan that he says would be invaluable.
"To be honest, it's a super new experience," he admitted. "They called me to come here and I was super excited to come and see what would happen, but to stay in this championship you need to make one test to understand everything.
"It's very different from what is road bike racing. It looks like you are on the grass instead of the asphalt!

"You open the gas, you start to [wheel]spin, and sometimes you fly! You have to be super careful, remain calm and take some time to learn. My focus is on the Spanish championship and I've had a few big moments!
"The track is fast, but it's not the problem. It's super fast and I enjoy riding it, and to be honest if you came here with traction control the track could be so nice!
"All the long right corners, with no traction there are no straights and the bike is always [wheel]spinning a lot, so you lose a lot of time there."
With his focus for the remainder of the year admittedly being on wrapping up the Spanish title race he currently leads, wider questions about Rabat's 2023 can wait.
But one thing is clear: Rabat is desperate for a BSB return as soon as the next round to complete his long-term ambition of jumping Cadwell Park's famous Mountain!
"For the moment, I have a goal to win the Spanish championship," he explained, "but for sure I would like to be here a lot.
"To fight with these guys needs a lot of effort, a lot of understanding, because it's not really road bike racing. It's half road bike, half flat track on grass! To be a better rider, to learn to ride like this, is very good though!
"The next race is at Cadwell Park, which is a place where everyone wants to race once in their career!
"We'll try some private practice before that and see what happens."


While protein aggregation has been widely studied, it is still poorly understood. Protein aggregation is a complex process, resulting in heterogeneous populations of particles from a variety of mechanisms, which provides both intellectual and technical challenges. This thesis probes the mechanisms leading to protein aggregation by characterising the aggregation of two model proteins, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin, using a variety of chemical and biophysical techniques. High-throughput assays are commonly utilised for screening protein formulations. Two high-throughput assays were critically examined to assess the effectiveness and robustness of this approach for detecting protein aggregation after forced degradation (or accelerated aggregation testing). While these high-throughput assays do play a role in formulation and screening, careful consideration must be given to the interpretation of the analysis and the results must be viewed in context and as part of a wider characterization process. Chemical modification of protein structure via oxidation was also examined as a mechanism leading to aggregation. Oxidation of lysozyme and bovine serum albumin was induced with hydrogen peroxide. The secondary structure of both proteins were vulnerable to oxidative attack, resulting in a loss of native structure and the formation of both protein aggregates and protein fragments, the extent of which depended on both the specific protein chemistry and solution conditions. The mechanism of chemical unfolding was probed for both lysozyme and BSA with the addition of two denaturants; urea and guanidine hydrochloride. The mechanism by which each denaturant unfolds both proteins has been thoroughly studied in the past. Lysozyme is known to follow a two-state model, while BSA conforms to a two-step unfolding process via three transition states. We have demonstrated the sensitivity and reliability of second derivative UV analysis to characterise the unfolding states of both proteins. Finally, a monoclonal antibody, IgG1, was purified and characterised. Initial studies where carried out to assess the stability of this protein. Glyco-analysis was carried out to determine the glycan profile of the IgG1 protein and to ensure for consistency in product glycosylation. The stability of the glycoform was also examined in terms of length of storage under, different storage conditions.

If you take the right hand fork, the path continues further up the kloof eventually coming to one of the forestry huts, Middleburg Hut which is used by overnight hikers. You return down by the same path.
This a very pleasant gentle walk from Algeria up the valley to Uitkyk Forestry house. The path is clearly signposted from the end of the campsite. (When the path to the waterfall goes off to the left, you continue straight on to a grove of pine trees.) You walk all the way to Uitkyk (approx 3.5km) and then return along the road to make a circular walk. The circular walk would take approx 2 hours (7km).
Drive to Dwarsrivier farm and continue for approx 1km and then turn left to Sandrif resort, cross over the river and continue via the signposts for approx 1km up a gravel track to a small parking place. This is a steep mountain walk with some easy scrambling at the top to get into the largest 'crack', a narrow cleft reaching 30m into the bowels of the Wolfberg. The walk should take you about 1½ hours to go up and 1 hour to return with additional time on the top exploring – less if you are fit.
Collect a permit from Dwarsrivier Farm and then follow their map to the start of the walk. (Drive for approx 0.7km in the direction of Clanwilliam, turn off to the left to follow the gravel road for approx 7km to a small parking place.) The path is very clear. It is a moderate uphill climb to the Maltese Cross with magnificent views of the Cederberg range and then a downhill return the same way. The cross is approx the height of a five storey building and begs the question of how on earth it got there! (In reality, the land and rock around it eroded away leaving this monolith behind.) The Maltese Cross takes about 3 hours including a break at the rock formation, allow 3½ to 4 hours if you take it slowly (7km).
Drive to Dwarsrivier farm and continue for approx 1km and then turn left to Sandrif resort, cross over the river and continue via the signposts for approx 1km up a gravel track to a small parking place. This is a steep mountain walk with some easy scrambling at the top to get into the largest 'crack', a narrow cleft reaching 30m into the bowels of the Wolfberg. The walk should take you about 1½ hours to go up. From here you continue along the top of the mountain range for about 1½ hours to the 15m-high Wolfberg Arch. It is best to return the way you came as the other route down, via Gabriel's Pass, is less well marked. Allow 7 to 8 hours for the walk though you may do it faster.
Note: You will need a map eg Cederberg map by Peter Slingsby, plenty of water, sunblock, comfortable shoes, hat and Cederberg Wilderness permit (as specified) obtainable from Algeria Forest Station or Dwarsrivier.

Today Belchertown perches atop a hill overlooking the Connecticut Valley to the west and the Quaboag Valley to the east, its church spires visible for miles in all directions. The famed Quabbin Reservoir and the University of Massachusetts draw thousands to and through the community annually.
It is hard to imagine this land under sea water, but such was the case millions of years ago. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, pushing New England out of the sea, created a region of high mountains resembling the Alps in Europe. Frost and water eventually eroded the peaks to a level plain. Later a great crack opened in the rock. Waters flowed into the crack toward the sea, and our Connecticut Valley was born. A series of volcanic eruptions formed Mt. Holyoke and Mt. Tom, and lava poured over the Valley. About 200 million years ago, giant dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles roamed freely in the Valley but left behind only their foot prints, now turned to stone.

Then a glacier covered the area. As the ice sheet slid southward and eventually melted, it left behind rich deposits of soil and an abundance of boulders and rocks. This glacial period ended only 15,000 years ago.
The first people in the area were Indians of the Nipmuck nation. While they roamed the Belchertown area freely to hunt and build temporary camps, their chief settlements were on the Connecticut River at Northampton, Hadley, Springfield and Deerfield. They built forts on either side of the river and trapped, hunted and grew corn and pumpkins. They were generally friendly to the white settlers. Even today farmers in this area occasionally turn up arrowheads and other Indian relics while plowing their fields.
The earliest settlers to this region came from the Massachusetts seacoast towns, and most were descendants of the early Pilgrim and Puritan colonists. They brought with them Yankee ingenuity, courage and all the strict religious and moral convictions of the older settlements.
Springfield, the first settlement in the Connecticut Valley in Massachusetts, was begun in 1636. Colonists, migrating from Springfield, and Wethersfield and Hartford, Connecticut, gradually moved into the surrounding area. During the French and Indian Wars, lasting until the mid 1700s, settlers had to remain in established settlements. Lone farms in the wilderness invited Indian attacks from over the Canadian border. Many of these early settlers were massacred or taken captive back to Canada and held for ransom.
