Iraq - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to Iraq due to terrorism, kidnapping, armed conflict, civil unrest, and Mission Iraq's limited capacity to provide support to U.S. citizens.
Last Update: Reissued after periodic review with updates to security information.
Country Summary: U.S. citizens in Iraq face high risks to their safety and security, including the potential for violence and kidnapping. Terrorist and insurgent groups regularly attack Iraqi security forces and civilians. Anti-U.S. militias threaten U.S. citizens and international companies throughout Iraq. Attacks using improvised explosive devices, indirect fire, and unmanned aerial vehicles occur in many areas of the country, including Baghdad and other major cities. Consular services to U.S. citizens in Iraq are limited to emergency services due to severe restrictions on the movements of U.S. government personnel.
Demonstrations, protests, and strikes occur frequently throughout the country. These events can develop quickly without prior notice, often interrupting traffic, transportation, and other services, and sometimes turning violent.
Do not travel near Iraq's northern borders due to the continued threat of attacks by terrorist groups, armed conflict, aerial bombardment, and civil unrest. U.S. citizens should especially avoid areas near armed groups in northern Iraq, which have been targeted with aerial strikes by neighboring countries' militaries.
U.S. citizens should not travel through Iraq to engage in armed conflict in Syria, where they would face extreme personal risks (kidnapping, injury, or death) and legal risks (arrest, fines, and expulsion). The Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq has stated that it will impose prison sentences of up to ten years on individuals who illegally cross the Iraq-Syria border. Additionally, fighting on behalf of or supporting designated terrorist organizations is a crime under U.S. law that can result in prison sentences and large fines in the United States.
Because of security concerns, U.S. government personnel in Baghdad are instructed not to use Baghdad International Airport. Due to risks to civil aviation operating in the Baghdad Flight Information Region, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has extended for an additional two years its Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) prohibiting certain flights at altitudes below 32,000 feet. For more information, U.S. citizens should consult the Federal Aviation Administration's Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices.
Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Iraq.
If you decide to travel to Iraq:
Establish your own personal security plan in coordination with your employer or host organization or consider consulting with a professional security organization.
Draft a will and designate appropriate insurance beneficiaries and/or power of attorney.
Discuss a plan with loved ones regarding care/custody of children, pets, property, belongings, non-liquid assets (collections, artwork, etc.), funeral wishes, etc.
Share important documents, login information, and points of contact with loved ones so that they can manage your affairs if you are unable to return as planned to the United States.
Read the Department of State's COVID-19 page before planning any international travel, and read the U.S. Embassy's web page for country-specific COVID-19 information.

Iraq requires a negative COVID-19 test to enter or exit. Please visit the Embassy's COVID-19 page for more information. The Government of Iraq strictly enforces entry regulations, weapons authorizations, and movements through checkpoints. U.S. citizens traveling to Iraq without proper authorization or unclear purpose of travel may be detained.
Visa requirements vary depending on the traveler's citizenship, Iraqi ancestry, purpose of travel, and duration of stay. Iraq has an entry and exit system. Visa on arrival may be available for U.S. citizen tourists at airports in Iraq, including Erbil airport. Exit stamps are required prior to departure. Residency stamps and blood tests are required depending on length and purpose of visit. Iraq imposes penalties, such as fines, detention and deportation, for violations of Iraqi immigration policies, including overstays or working without authorization.
All travelers should visit the Embassy of Iraq's website: mofa.gov/washington/visa
for visa, duration of stay, work permits, and residency information. Information on requirements for exit stamps, residency, and blood tests is also available at airports in Iraq.
HIV/AIDS: Iraq imposed HIV/AIDS-related travel restrictions on all visitors and new residents. Travelers should verify their eligibility to travel to Iraq with the Embassy of Iraq before travelling.
Terrorism: Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists increasingly use less-sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to target crowds at venues such as:
Public transportation systems, including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights.
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS, ISIL or Da'esh, is a designated terrorist organization, which is active in Syria and near the Iraq border. ISIS and its associated terrorist groups indiscriminately commit attacks and violent atrocities in Iraq despite improved Iraqi government control. ISIS, militia groups, and criminal gangs target U.S. citizens for attacks and hostage-taking.
Border areas, especially near Syria, Turkey, and Iran are especially dangerous and not clearly defined. U.S. citizens who approach these borders may encounter aerial or artillery bombardments, unmarked minefields, and border skirmishes with smugglers. They may also be detained by neighboring governments, including Iran.
Due to security and safety threats, U.S. government personnel live and work under strict security guidelines, which limit their movements and interactions in Iraq.
Crime: Petty theft is common in Iraq, including pickpocketing and theft of valuables from hotel rooms and private residences. Carjacking is common, even during daylight hours, and particularly on the highways from Jordan and Kuwait to Baghdad. Kidnappings of foreigners, Iraqi citizens, and dual U.S.-Iraqi citizens can occur for ransom or political/religious reasons. Many hostages have been killed. The murder rate remains high due to terrorism, tribal and family disputes, and religious/sectarian tensions. Sexual assault and domestic violence are common.
Demonstrations occur frequently. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international events.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly become violent.
Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.
International financial and romance scams can be connected to Iraq. See the Department of State and the FBI webpages for information.
Victims of Crime: Report crimes, fires and accidents to local authorities by dialing 104 (Police), 115 (Fire), 112 (National Emergency Hotline), or 139 (sexual assault and domestic violence). Local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes. They speak Arabic. U.S. citizen victims may contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance at +964-760-030-3000. We can:
Provide general information regarding the victim's role during the local investigation and following its conclusion
Provide information on victim's compensation programs in the United States
Domestic Violence: U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence are encouraged to contact the Embassy for assistance.
Tourism: Tourists participate in activities at their own risk. Emergency response and subsequent appropriate medical treatment is not available in-country. U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage.
Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Furthermore, some laws are prosecutable in the United States, regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.
Property Disputes: Land disputes are common in Iraq and are often difficult to resolve through legal channels. The U.S. Embassy cannot take sides in a legal dispute. Those involved in a court dispute risk having cases filed against them, arrest, and being jailed.
Special Circumstances:
Iraq has serious deficiencies in public services. Electricity often fails. Fire and rescue services are inadequate, and hotels may not be equipped with fire safety equipment. Landline telephone service is limited; while cellular service reliability varies by region. The banking and financial infrastructure is underdeveloped. Transactions are largely cash-based. Hotels usually require payment in foreign currency. Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) are rare.
Customs officers have broad authority to search persons or vehicles at Iraqi ports of entry. Officers may confiscate any goods deemed a threat to the peace, security, health, environment, or social order of Iraq. Antiquities, cultural and undeclared items for export may be confiscated. Visitors may be ordered to return such goods, at their expense, to the jurisdiction from which they came.
Counterfeit and Pirated Goods: Possession of counterfeit goods may be confiscated or fined. See the U.S. Department of Justice website for more information.
International Religious Freedom Report– see country reports
Human Rights Report– see country reports
LGBTQI+ Travelers: Discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and unconventional appearance is common. See our LGBTQI+ Travel Information page and section six of our Human Rights report for details.
Travelers with Disabilities: Individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what they find in the United States. Buildings, public restrooms, classrooms, offices, public transportation, and other places may not be accessible.
Women Travelers: Female U.S. citizens have been subject to threats, kidnappings, abuse, and extortion by their family, including loss of custody of children or forced marriage. U.S. laws do not protect U.S. citizens when they are outside of the United States. The Iraqi police and legal system may offer little protection. See our travel tips for Women Travelers.
Visit the Embassy's COVID-19 page for more information on COVID-19 in Iraq.
Basic, modern medical care and medicines are not widely available in Iraq and do not meet U.S. standards. A limited number of companies facilitate medical evacuations. Blood banks exist in Iraq, though the blood supply may not be sufficient in the event of an emergency and likely has not been tested under U.S. standards for infectious disease. There is limited mental health or psychiatric care in Iraq.
For ambulance services dial 122. Ambulance services are not present throughout the country or are unreliable in most areas. They are not staffed with trained paramedics and often have little or no medical equipment.
We do not pay medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance.
Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage. Visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for more information on type of insurance you should consider before you travel overseas.
We strongly recommend supplemental insurance to cover medical evacuation.
Always carry your prescription medication in the original packaging along with your doctor's prescription.
Vaccinations: Be up-to-date on all vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Prevalent Diseases:
Food-borne illnesses
Water Quality: In many areas, tap water is not safe to drink. Bottled water and beverages are generally safe, although you should be aware that many restaurants and hotels serve tap water unless bottled water is specifically requested. Be aware that ice for drinks may be made using tap water.
Air pollution is a significant problem in several major cities in Iraq. Seasonal smog and heavy particulate pollution may be especially harmful to the following people:
People with lung disease, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Road Conditions and Safety: Vehicular travel in Iraq can be extremely dangerous. There have been attacks on civilian vehicles and on Iraqi military and security convoys on roads and highways throughout Iraq, both in and outside metropolitan areas. Attacks can occur at any time, night or day, and have involved small arms fire and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) capable of destroying vehicles.
Traffic Laws: Drivers usually do not yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and ignore traffic lights (if available), traffic rules, and regulations. Jaywalking is common. Roads are congested. Some cars do not use lights at night and urban streetlights may not be functioning. Some motorists drive at excessive speeds, tailgate, and force other drivers to yield the right of way.
Iraq has many government checkpoints scattered throughout the country. New ones may be placed randomly, particularly after terrorist attacks. It can take a long time to navigate them in crowded traffic, and some may shut down altogether at certain hours. Drivers should have car registration and ID documents available and should be very patient and polite.
Public Transportation: Buses run irregularly and frequently change routes. City transit vehicles are often poorly maintained and can be involved in accidents. Long-distance buses are available but are often in poor condition and drive at unsafe speeds.
See our Road Safety page for more information.
Aviation Safety Oversight: As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Iraq, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the Government of Iraq's Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
Because of the risks to civil aviation in the vicinity of Iraq, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) that prohibits U.S. operators and codeshare flights from operating in Iraqi airspace below 32,000 feet. For more information, U.S. citizens should consult the Federal Aviation Administration's Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices.
Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Iraq should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts. Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard Homeport and the NGA Broadcast Warnings website.
Review information about International Parental Child Abduction in Iraq. For additional IPCA-related information, please see the International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act (ICAPRA) report.

Canberra's inland setting means its residents are missing out on more than the benefits of living by the beach, according to fuel suppliers and retailers.
New-look rates notices issued last year made it appear as though the full year's bill had to be paid at once, rather than in instalments.
An increasing number of drone users are being busted flying in breach of aviation rules in the ACT, and the regulator is set to catch even more.
In one of Canberra's newest suburbs, you'll find the type of old-school family that's becoming increasingly rare in Australia.
Be careful when you buy those event tickets. Baffling fees like paying to print your own tickets usually lurk in the shadows until the last moment.

Dakota Meyer participates in a celebrity shooting tournament earlier this year.
Report: Marine to get Medal of Honor for Afghanistan actions
A Marine who braved enemy fire alone to retrieve the bodies of his fallen comrades will be awarded the Medal of Honor, Marine Corps Times reports.
Dakota Meyer, who now lives in Austin, Texas, will be the first living Marine to receive the nation's highest military honor since the Vietnam War. Two living Army soldiers, Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry and Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta, have received the medal in the past year.
Meyer will be recognized for his actions on September 8, 2009, in Ganjgal, a remote Afghan village near the border with Pakistan. As his unit of 13 U.S. service members came under attack by a force of 50 heavily-armed insurgents, Meyer, a corporal at the time, repeatedly ran through enemy fire to recover the bodies of fellow American troops.
Killed in Ganjgal were Marine 1st Lt. Michael Johnson, Gunnery Sgts. Edwin Johnson and Aaron Kenefick and Navy Hospitalman 3rd Class James Layton, according to the Marine Corps Times. An Army soldier, Sgt. 1st Class Kenneth Westbrook, later died of wounds sustained during the battle.
"Whatever award comes out of it, it's for those guys (who were killed) not for me," Meyer said in an interview with Military Times.
"I feel the furthest thing from a hero," he said. "The way I view it is I let those guys down."
President Barack Obama contacted Meyer with news of the award on Monday, according to the Marine Corps Times report. A defense official with knowledge of the award process told CNN last November that former U.S. Marine Commandant Gen. James Conway made the recommendation that Meyer received the medal just before he retired last year.
Meyer is no longer on active duty. He said he left the Corps after his four-year enlistment was completed.

As a Marine, I would love the opportunity to shake this Marines hand.

@Pam, for you to make such an ignorant comment about the people who serve this country and provide us with our freedom, proves to the rest of us that people like you don't deserve to live amongst the men and women who fight for the United States. If you have a problem with that, then Get Out we certainly don't need someone with that kind of ignorance.
Just when are you ignorant fools going to realize that this stupid war has nothing at all to do with any of our rights or freedoms nor with the security of this nation? It's all about Afghanistan's mineral resorces and the chance for the right-wing politicians to promote their political careers!!! Please!

This marine served with honor clearly and without question.
He had honor in raising his right hand, to serve this country and provide for this country's safety and YOUR freedom of speech, against all enemies FOREIGN and domestic.
He had honor in choosing to fight alongside his brothers in battle, and in choosing to put himself in harm's way above the call of duty, in the presence of a fighting force vastly superior in number; in order to rescue and care for his team. There is no greater human sacrifice than a man who is willing to lay his life down for his fellow man.

Laudeni Casemiro, mais conhecido como Beto sem Braço, (Rio de Janeiro, 24 de maio de 1941 — Rio de Janeiro, 15 de abril de 1993) foi um cantor e compositor brasileiro.

Biografia
O sambista trabalhou como feirante no Rio de Janeiro. Seu apelido lhe foi dado na infância em consequência de uma queda de cavalo, na qual perdeu o braço direito.

No início da década de 1970, sua canção "Ai Que Vontade", interpretada por Oswaldo Nunes, fez grande sucesso em nível nacional.

Pertenceu à ala de compositores da Unidos de Vila Isabel até 1981, quando se transferiu para Império Serrano. Já em seu primeiro ano na escola de samba de Madureira, ganhou o concurso para o samba enredo para o carnaval de 1982, "Bumbum Paticumbum Prugurundum", composta com Aluísio Machado, que se tornou um dos sambas mais icônicos da história dos desfiles cariocas.

Foi também diretor de bateria da Império Serrano por vários anos.

Passou por momentos mais conturbados de sua carreira, quando atirou no presidente imperiano Jamil Cheiroso e no vice-presidente da escola Roberto Cunha, respectivamente, descontente com a desclassificação de seu samba na seletiva de 1987.

O compositor morreu em 15 de abril de 1993, aos 51 anos, no Rio de Janeiro, vitimado por tuberculose.

N38,900 NYSC allawee increment is just rumour and we have decided to make this clear to prospective as well as serving corps members that N38,900 NYSC allawee increment is just rumour.
News has it that President Buhari promised to increase the corps members allowance from N19800 to N38,900, and a post in Nairaland says: Senate Has Approved NYSC (#49,800) Allawee.
We're here to let you know that all you've been hearing about it is rumour and fake news, most of which dates back to 2014. Don't be deceived. When the N38,900 NYSC allawee is approved by the senate, all corps members will be notified as well as the general public.
All you need to do is plan yourself, get something doing while serving. Follow our updates on Mind your Business Lecture series.
Try to find out why "Mind your business" is not an insult but an advice. Make maximum use of all the SAED lectures you'll receive while in orientation camp because they will cost you up to N10,000 to receive same lectures. NYSC has made this FREE to equip you to take charge of your life and destiny.
The problem with Nigeria is not money problem but idea problem. Get an idea, seek for information and believe you me, that information can make you N100,000 within 1hour. Its no joke.
Learn a skill today and you'll never bother to ask google if NYSC has increased allawee, rather you'll want people to work for you and get paid. only through this, we can have better Nigeria and reduce unemployment.
Tell us what you think, comment and share. I'll be back to soon. need to take my breakfast.
there was a mistake in my grade. My statement of result reads second class upper which is correct while nysc updated second class lower. Plz, who will rectify this problem (1)my school or nysc? (2) hope this mistake will not affect me in camp or affect my posting?
I was mobilized for batch B 2015 but couldn't complete my online registration because I couldn't get all the requirements as a married woman. Now that batch A is around the corner what should I do?

As raw concepts go, "Nefarious" is a gem. Playing as a pompous, egotistical villain who romps around action platformer levels to kidnap princesses and dispatch heroes, your goal is to conjure as much mayhem as you can muster.
The execution, though, leaves much to be desired. Playing at times like a rough beta -- with slippery controls, inconsistent hit detection and discomforting difficulty ramps and plateus amid levels, "Nefarious" is as rough around the edges as its ugly protagonist.
Despite the nagging flaws, there is plenty to enjoy in nefarious. If the premise makes you giggle, you'll surely appreciate the sense of power playing as a bad guy grants you.
A catchy soundtrack and charming visual style will give gamers who came of age in the 1990s much to appreciate. It takes considerable reflexes and pattern detection to make your way through the more harrowing parts, and handholding is kept at a minimum. A throwback that mocks conventions of the era while also leaning into them, the game shimmers with nostalgia.
"Nefarious" may not have quite lived up to its potential, but manages to win hearts and mind as an occasionally brilliant diamond in the rough. The ramshackle experience works especially well in short bursts, and manages to grow on you as much as you're willing to let it.


Renovations can be messy. So, here's a link to an article about keeping your home clean and free of dust during those times when you're in the process of transforming a space. The article concentrates on drywall, but I think the advice can also apply to hardwood flooring.
This type of advice can come in handy, especially when you're re-finishing hardwood floors. It's noisy, messy, but worth doing correctly. And this is not just about making sure that your new unfinished hardwood floors, or the old ones which you're refinishing, are sanded so that they'll properly absorb the finish you'll be applying. It's also about trying to minimize the presence of dust in general for air quality and general cleanliness as you work.
Just a few pointers when re-finishing hardwood floors, folks – I hope they, and the attached article, are helpful.


The June Walden Memorial Playground is slowly being surrounded by wonderful, colorful, pickets to draw children to the playground! The playground is still "under construction" as we continue to raise funds to add more pieces to the area. You can donate to the playground fund on our online donation page!
We encourage families to come together to enjoy the playground!
We can't wait to see what will happen when the playground is completed. Questions? Check with Joan Walker, Director of Living & Learning.

Building an Inclusive Mexico
Gender equality across the board: Smart implementation for the long haul
Policies and Good Governance for Gender Equality
Mexico is slowly advancing on the path to gender equality. Many public policies aimed at empowering women are now in place: over the past two decades, Mexico has increased investments in girls' education, greatly expanded childcare and preschool, improved gender mainstreaming in government, and ensured that female politicians are well-represented at the ballot box. Yet, despite these efforts, many Mexican women still do not feel the effects of these policies at home, at work, or in public spaces. Large gender gaps remain in educational outcomes, participation in the labour market, pay, informality status, and hours of unpaid childcare and housework. "Unlocking Mexico's full potential," as Mexico's National Development Plan prescribes, will depend crucially on how well Mexico closes existing gender gaps in political, social and economic life and promotes real social change. Mexico must continue to invest in social and labour market policies that empower women, and reinvigorate efforts to reduce inequalities in education, labour force participation, job quality, unpaid work, and leadership. This will require embedding gender equality objectives in all public policies and budgets, across all levels of government, and ensuring the effective implementation, enforcement, and evaluation of policies and laws to achieve inclusive outcomes.
English Also available in: Spanish
Mexico's commitment to gender equality can be fully implemented only if it is underpinned by sound governance structures and mechanisms. Mexico has made headway in developing an institutional framework for achieving gender equality. It consists of a national system for equality between men and women, a national policy and oversight mechanisms to hold government accountable for achieving results. Yet, Mexico's growing efforts to achieve gender equality still deliver only limited results. Inequalities persist between women and men across society, especially at sub-national levels. The gender gap points to some weak or broken links in the gender equality delivery chain. This chapter assesses the overall institutional framework –institutions' mandates, the allocation of resources, institutional capacity and accountability mechanisms – for furthering gender equality in Mexico.


Just How Accurate Are Tax Appraisals/Assessments?
Consumer Reports once published a report (November 1992) that revealed that the property tax assessments error rate is upwards of forty percent and The National Tax Payer's Union stated in 2004 that as many as sixty percent of all homes are over assessed. Why is this?
On the whole, most home owners never challenge their tax assessments. If they were to take the time, and invest in a proper appraisal, they would then be in a position to contest their assessment. More times than not, tax appeal settlements in most regions of the country average a thousand dollars or more. If a homeowner were to put that money into a savings account over a period of ten years, at a rate of eight percent, they stand to gain over five-thousand dollars. Would this not offset the cost of an appraisal?
Not a lot of people press their case for appeal with local, municipal or state tax assessors. For those who do, they have had average savings of between five and thirty five percent.
In keeping with the practice of true and accurate appraisals, this type of transparency not only affords you as a home owner savings, but as a seller, it will arm you with one more helpful selling point.

Hymns to St John the Evangelist
The life of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John
The holy, glorious and all-praised Apostle and Evangelist John (also John the Theologian or John the Divine) was one of the original twelve Apostles, and wrote several of the books of the New Testament: the Gospel bearing his name; three Canonical Letters: I John, II John, and III John; and the Book of Revelation.
His primary feast day is celebrated on May 8, that of the twelve apostles on June 30, and his repose on September 26. His symbol is the eagle.
St. John was the son of Salome the myrrh-bearer and Zebedee, a fisherman. His brother was St. James, another apostle. In his own Gospel account, he refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" rther than use his name. He was the youngest of the twelve apostles, and especially close to the Lord. This closeness is often portrayed in icons of the mystical supper, where St. John leans on Jesus. He was present for the Transfiguration of Christ with Peter and his brother James.
St. John was exiled to the island of Patmos by Emperor Domitian around 90-95 A.D., and it was there that he received and wrote the Book of Revelation. Account of the miracle that occurred at his grave: When over 100 years old, St. John took seven disciples outside of Ephesus and had them dig a grave in the shape of a cross. St. John then went into the grave, and the disciples buried him there, alive. Later on, when his grave was opened, St. John's body was not there. On May 8 of each year, dust rises up from his grave, by which the sick are healed of various diseases.

The life of St Giles
St Giles (c. 650 – c. 710) was a Greek Christian hermit saint from Athens, who travelled to the West of Europe (France). He settled in the regions of Provence and Septimania. His tomb is in the Giles Abbey which he is said to founded, in Saint-Gilles-du-Gard.
His early history, as given in the Legenda Aurea (Golden Legend), links him with Arles, but finally he withdrew deep into the forest near Nîmes, where in the greatest solitude he spent many years, his sole companion being a deer, or red deer, who in some stories sustained him on her milk. Giles ate a vegetarian diet. This retreat was finally discovered by the king's hunters, who had pursued the hind to its place of refuge. An arrow shot at the deer wounded the saint instead, who afterwards became a patron of cripples. The king, who by legend was Wamba, an anachronistic Visigoth, but who must have been (at least in the original story) a Frank due to the historical setting, conceived a high esteem for the hermit, whose humility rejected all honours save some disciples, and built him a monastery in his valley, Saint-Gilles-du-Gard, which he placed under the Benedictine rule. Here Giles died in the early part of the 8th century, with the highest repute for sanctity and miracles.

- Korean manufacturer places top priority on franchise development Seoul 22 May 2002 - Kia Motors has retained Mitac, the U.K.`s leading motor industry performance development company, to devise an internal training program focusing on franchise development. The move reflects an increasing trend within the Korean manufacturer toward hiring outside counsel for advice on its core business. Senior executive vice-president Mark Juhn, COO and head of Kia`s international business division, says, "Kia Motors is a company with global ambitions. Our vehicles are already attracting a great deal of positive attention. Too often, though, the quality of our dealers is the weakest link in the chain. Improving the quality of our dealers is the first and most important step in increasing customer satisfaction across the board and raising the status of our brand." S.K. Park, vice president of the overseas service division, heads the initiative. He explains, "The Mitac program will be split into two phases. The first will take place here in Korea to train our domestic staff in how best to support and administer the global franchise. The plan will then be rolled out to our network of dealers and distributors around the world." Both executives agree that this is significant development for Korea`s second largest automaker. "Korean companies have a tradition of going it alone, with often predictable results," says Mr. Jung. "As Kia Motors becomes more international in its scope, we have to not only accept that there are companies out there with more expertise than we have but also to make use of that expertise whenever possible. That allows us to focus more intensively on our core business of manufacturing quality automobiles." Mitac was established in 1978 and has provided services for some of the world`s leading automotive brands, including Citroen, Renault, Nissan and BMW. Founded in 1944, Kia Motors Corporation (www.kia.co.kr) is Korea`s oldest manufacturer of automobiles. A part of the Hyundai Automobile Group the company currently exports around 600,000 vehicles per year through a network of distributors that covers 160 countries. Kia Motors is the major sponsor of the Australian Tennis Open.

Delaware awarded $1.5 million from U.S. Economic Development Administration for revolving loan fund to assist small businesses
Press Release from U.S. Department of Commerce
WASHINGTON – Today,(Feb. 4, 202i) the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $1.5 million CARES Act Recovery Assistance grant to the Delaware Division of Small Business, Dover, Delaware, to establish and administer a Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) that will provide critical gap financing to businesses adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic across Delaware. This EDA grant is expected to help create 1,500 jobs and retain 500 jobs.
"EDA is committed to helping communities across the nation fight economic hardships brought on by COVID-19," said Dennis Alvord, Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development. "This new Revolving Loan Fund will provide critical gap financing to help Delaware's small businesses recover from the coronavirus pandemic."
"We remain focused on supporting the Delaware small businesses, workers and families most affected by this COVID-19 crisis," said Governor John Carney. "This new program will help us get additional support to more Delaware small businesses, an important step in rebuilding our economy."
"Small businesses are the backbone of our economy in Delaware, and, due to the pandemic, too many small business owners and workers have found themselves in dire circumstances through no fault of their own," said Senator Tom Carper, Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which oversees the Economic Development Administration. "I was proud to fight for funding in the CARES Act to provide much-needed relief for the small businesses on which so many of us rely every day. I'm pleased to see that this EDA grant will be put to good use right here in the First State to keep businesses afloat and workers on payroll until this pandemic is finally in our rearview mirror."
This project will provide access to capital across all three Delaware counties, with an emphasis on the small businesses that were forced to close to protect human health and safety. The RLF will be a crucial resource to help the state's communities recover and build back stronger.
This project is funded under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (Public Law 116-136 PDF), which provided EDA with $1.5 billion for economic assistance programs to help communities prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. EDA CARES Act Recovery Assistance, which is being administered under the authority of the bureau's flexible Economic Adjustment Assistance (EAA) (PDF) program, provides a wide-range of financial assistance to eligible communities and regions as they respond to and recover from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.
About the U.S. Economic Development Administration (www.eda.gov)
The mission of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting competitiveness and preparing the nation's regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. An agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce, EDA makes investments in economically distressed communities in order to create jobs for U.S. workers, promote American innovation, and accelerate long-term sustainable economic growth.

Did you know that as we use our muscles and organ systems, our body creates heat? That's a basic component of the body's metabolic rate. Our basal resting temp is 98.2 degrees. And in Houston, Texas, heat is a huge factor in the effectiveness of our movement and exercise. Heat is a huge stress on the body. Well, here comes summertime….
So which exercises are the best for our bodies, which exercises promote long life! Less stress on our organs due to heat supports longevity. An analogy would be an automobile which is run at moderate speeds and maintained regularly. The owner will get many more years of use.
SWIMMING is at the top of the list of great exercise. It is a moderate, rhythmic movement, performed in water, which cools our system as we go along.
The water's buoyancy also minimizes the stress on joints, muscles and organs.

Scott Weingart. EMCrit Podcast 237 – Vent & PreVENT – An Update. EMCrit Blog. Published on November 28, 2018. Accessed on April 24th 2019. Available at [https://emcrit.org/emcrit/vent-prevent/ ].
In Denmark, at least in the Region of Southern Denmark, it is my impression that almost all patients recieve som kind of spontaneous driven ventilatory support whenever possible eg GI-bleeds and intercerebral haemorrages with stable CO2. The Nonseda trial originated here and this might a part of the reason why this is standard. Hence, the discission to "put them on" 4, 6 or 12 ml/kg is less as they are less sedated. By the way it seems as if spontaneous breathing patients without lung injury often take very large tidal volumes with little or even low pressure support. I find this interesting. With my limited clinical experience.
I am a physiologist from Denmark specialicing in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine on my last year. Been in this realm for approx five years.
Love the post. Thanks for debriding some of the dogma surrounding 6 cc/kg tidal volumes. Most patients can be vented just fine with 8 cc/kg, they won't explode.
Agree that APRV is a bad mode for the lung-injured patient. I did an observational study on autoFlow (the Drager equivalent of APRV – basically same thing) a few years ago. I never followed through with publishing it because I have the attention span of a gnat on meth. This has been eating at my soul because I should get the results out there, so I am resolving to post them & discuss them on the blog soon. But in short they prove all of your concerns.
I worry that this study will be misinterpreted and applied to the wrong groups of patients.
Other patients that do not strictly meet ARDS criteria may also benefit from lower volumes… patients with low P/Fs but single lung injury, patients ventilated for a long time, patients with systemic inflammation/shock at high risk of ARDS.
I believe the study data, but from an application perspective wouldn't it make sense to start everyone off at 6, and move select slightly upwards if necessary?
The slippery slope arguement can be considered as well. After the 33 vs. 36 hypothermia study, more hospitals trended away from applying targetted temp management at all, with some data showing an increasing mortality rate due to this. Could the same happen with lung protective ventilation?
totally grant your slippery slope argument, hence why I do not say 9-10 is ok even though we can make an inference of that from this study. I say 8 for this exact reason.
Now as to the IMPROVE study, did you look at the methods section?
You'll note in PreVENT, the PEEP between the 2 groups were the same.


Brian Williams' NBC role might be different from the anchor job he had before his six-month suspension. According to the Huffington Post, there might be a new role for Williams.
CNN reported that Brian Williams' NBC role may be a new one if he returns. CNN's Brian Stelter says the network is looking to keep Williams on in a new role.
Stelter was quick to explain that this proposal would presumably keep Lester Holt, who has been filling Williams' seat on a temporary basis, in the NBC Nightly News anchor chair. Holt, who is popular among NBC staff, has managed to keep the program's ratings stable despite the scandal.
Vanity Fair correspondent Bryan Burrough commented on Williams' NBC role.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation say executives at the network are looking for a way to keep Brian Williams employed. However, negotiations are still going on between Williams and the network.
Last February, Williams was suspended for six months after an internal investigation was conducted about Williams exaggerating stories more than once about being in a helicopter in Iraq in 2003, among other issues.
Even though the anchor gave an apology on the air after several soldiers came forward to contradict his account of an Iraq War mission, the network still suspended him. His suspension is expected to be over by the end of the summer.
It is not certain whether Brian Williams' NBC role as an anchor is completely over. It does look like he might return to NBC in a new and different role. What the role is, nobody is saying right now.
Even though Brian Williams might be offered a new role at NBC, it's a possibility he might not even want to return.
Would you like to see Brian Williams back on NBC Nightly News, or would you rather welcome him back in a new role?

Ascendis Health's acquisition bids approved
By africanbusinessreviewPosted on November 18, 2019 February 18, 2020 0
A rapidly expanding healthcare group has announced it has invested close to R400 million in two new healthcare acquisitions, Surgical Innovations and Atka Pharma.
Ascendis Health (Pty) Limited, completed its 100 percent acquisition of specialist medical company Surgical Innovations (Pty) Limited after receiving competition commission approval, and of Atka Pharma (Pty) Limited.
Both targeted acquisitions follow on from the successful listing of Ascendis on the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in the pharmaceutical sector in November last year.
Group Chief Executive Dr Karsten Wellner, said: "These two exciting acquisitions, are aligned to our clearly stated growth strategy, and brings our total investment in the past two years to more than R1.5 billion, delivering on our deliberate strategy of combining mature, well managed, resilient and complementary brands with exciting growth potential in South Africa, as well as globally."
"Surgical Innovations compliments the Pharma-Med division alongside Pharma-Chem, and is a fast growing medical device distributor, specialising in state of the art high-tech surgical device needs of South African surgeons.
"It employs more than 135 staff and has achieved compound annual growth in revenue of over 20 percent over the past three years." Dr Wellner said.
The company holds international key agencies for surgical and other medical equipment on an exclusive basis, which further enhances the Company's positioning to service hospitals and clinics.
Atka Pharma, which markets the fast growing brand BioBalance, will join well-known brands Nimue, Solal, Sportron, SSN and Evox in Ascendis's Consumer Brands division.
Atka's products are mainly marketed in retail pharmacy on recommendations from medical practitioners and include the compound Carbohydrate Derived Fulvic Acid (CHD-FA). The products are marketed under the BioBalance trademark owned by Atka.

Atka has been growing in excess of 50 percent per annum in the past three years. Dr Wellner said: "Atka is a very attractive proposition as it is a proudly South African company, based on a locally produced API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) offering a sought after range of scientifically well documented products."
The new acquisitions provide multiple opportunities to develop cross product synergies within the Ascendis Group as well as benefiting from the economies of scale.
Route to market for all products is well developed with experienced personnel in place targeting hospitals, GP's and pharmacies, which provide efficient channels for most current and future products.
Ascendis consists of three core divisions catering for preventive as well as interventionist healthcare requirements.
The three divisions are Consumer Brands (over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, sports nutrition and specialist skin care products), Pharma-Med (prescription drugs and medical devices) and Phyto-Vet (plant and animal health and care).
Dr Wellner concluded: "We are excited about the addition of Surgical Innovations and Atka Pharma to our group as they reflect the kind of well known, well managed brands with excellent growth potential.
"We also have a very strong deal pipeline and expect several deals to be announced soon, allowing us to develop a strong market position and become a leading player in the local and international health and care sector."

I do not trust any of the counsleours or the teachers he was the only one . and i feel betrayed, i trust no one .
I am a loner. How many friends have I? 5. How many do I truely confide in? 0. Does it bother me? Hell yeah.
Imagine not having the courage to tell your friends of all your good and bad. Imagine not even sharing those funny moments and the inns and outs of your daily life. It tears me apart beyond words, it's far harder than it sounds!
I suppose I should learn to life with it. It's simply who I am.

Hardie plank siding – Hardie planks can be cut with a circular saw using a carbide blade or one specifically designed for cutting Hardie planks, but this method creates an excessive amount of dust. Lay your Hardie plank on a flat surface and align the straight edge where you want to make your cut. Hold the straight edge firmly to the surface of your Hardie plank. Use the knife to score along the straight edge, making a deep cut in 1/8 inch plate surface along the line to cut.
Hang Hardie board over the edge of the table with the marked line up and directly above the edge of the table. Press hard on the rim portion of the board, breaking the beam cleanly along the score you made. Install a carbide blade on your circular saw, or use a special diamond blade designed specifically for cutting Hardie plank siding and similar products. Mark a line with a pencil on the table where you want to make your cut.
Hang the board on the edge of a table or saw horses so that a sheet passing through the board along the score line does not cut into the table or saw horses. Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting the Hardie plank siding. Do not force the saw blade through the material or it may chip or crack the board. Use a firm, smooth pressure on the sheet, allowing the saw and blade for cutting work.

En química orgánica, los isómeros conformacionales o confórmeros son estereoisómeros que se caracterizan por poder interconvertirse (modificar su orientación espacial, convirtiéndose en otro isómero de la misma molécula) a temperatura ambiente, por rotación en torno a enlaces simples. Estas conformaciones se denominan: anti, eclipsada o alternada. Son compuestos que, generalmente, no pueden aislarse físicamente, debido a su facilidad de interconversión.

El análisis conformacional es la exploración de todos los confórmeros que se pueden obtener de una molécula dada al realizar torsiones alrededor de enlaces sencillos (grados de libertad conformacionales), observando los cambios en la energía molecular asociados a esas torsiones.

Tipos de isomería conformacional

El butano tiene tres rotámeros: dos confórmeros gauche, que son enantiómeros, y un confórmero anti, donde los centros de los cuatro carbonos son coplanares. Las tres conformaciones eclipsadas (con ángulos diedros de 0°, 120° y 240°) no se consideran rotámeros pero en cambio son estados de transición. En la gráfica de la derecha se pueden ver las transiciones entre los distintos confórmeros.

Algunos ejemplos importantes de Isomería conformacional incluyen:

Conformaciones de alcano lineal con rotámeros de gauche, eclipsadas y alternadas.
Conformación del anillo.
Conformaciones del ciclohexano con confórmeros de silla y bote.
Conformaciones de hidratos de carbono.
Atropisomerismo, debido a la rotación restringida sobre un enlace una molécula puede ser quiral.
Plegamiento de moléculas, donde algunas formas son estables y funcionales, pero otros no lo son.

Población de equilibrio de confórmeros

La probabilidad de encontrar el i-ésimo isómero conformacional de una molécula sigue una distribución de Boltzmann tal que

donde Ni es el número de confórmeros i, N el número total del confórmeros, Ep,i la energía potencial relativa del i-ésimo confórmero, R la constante de los gases ideales, T la temperatura. La suma sobre el índice j tiene en cuenta todos los confórmeros, incluido el i-ésimo. El denominador de la derecha es la función de partición.

Aislamiento u observación de los isómeros conformacionales

 Los atropoisomeros pueden ser bastante estables en función de los efectos estéricos, estos fueron los primeros isómeros conformacionales en identificarse. En el sistema de antropoisómeros bifenílicos es especialmente frecuente, por ejemplo el binaftol.
En derivados del ciclohexano, los rotámeros de dos sillas se interconvierten con tasas del orden de 105ring lanzamientos/seg, que evidentemente impide su separación.El confórmero ecuatorial se cristaliza selectivamente y cuando estos cristales se disuelven a temperaturas muy bajas, uno puede supervisar directamente el enfoque de equilibrio por RMN.

Técnicas de estudio de la isomería conformacional

Más información sobre isomería conformacional proviene de los estudios de difracción de rayos X de cristal único. La espectroscopia infrarroja normalmente se utiliza para medir coeficientes de confórmero. Para el confórmero axial y ecuatorial de bromociclohexano, el número de onda difiere por casi 50 cm−1.

La dinámica de conformación y otros tipos de isomería pueden controlarse por RMN a diferentes temperaturas. La técnica se aplica a energías entre 8 y 14 kcal mol−1 y las especies exhibiendo esa dinámica se denominan fluxional.

Reacciones dependientes de la conformación

La velocidad de reacción es altamente dependiente de la conformación de los reactivos. Este tema es especialmente bien dilucidado en química orgánica. Un ejemplo es proporcionado por las reacciones de eliminación, que implican la eliminación simultánea de un protón y un grupo saliente desde posiciones vecinales bajo la influencia de una base. El mecanismo requiere que los átomos o grupos salientes sigan trayectorias antiparalelas. Para los sustratos de la cadena abierta se cumple este requisito geométrico por al menos uno de los tres confórmeros escalonados. Para algunos sustratos cíclicos, sin embargo, un acuerdo antiparalelo puede no ser alcanzable en función. Los sustituyentes adyacentes en un anillo de ciclohexano pueden lograr antiperiplanaridad sólo cuando ocupan posiciones trans diaxiales. Una consecuencia de este análisis es que el cloruro de trans-4-terc-butilciclohexilo no puede dar una reacción de eliminación fácilmente, pero en cambio si da una reacción de sustitución:

El isómero trans puede alcanzar la configuración antiperiplanar sólo a través del confórmero axial desfavorecido, por lo tanto, no da la reacción de eliminación. El isómero cis ya está en la geometría correcta en su conformación más estable, por lo tanto, da la reacción de eliminación fácilmente.

Bibliotecas de rotámeros de proteínas

Una biblioteca de rotámeros es una colección de rotámeros para cada tipo de residuo en proteínas, con la cadena lateral y los grados de libertad. Las bibliotecas de rotámeros generalmente contienen información sobre la conformación y frecuencia de una cierta conformación. A menudo, las bibliotecas también contendrán información sobre la variación de ángulos diedro-medios o modos que pueden utilizarse en la toma de muestras.

Los ángulos diedros de la cadena lateral no se distribuyen uniformemente pero casi todos los tipos de cadena lateral, los ángulos χ, se producen en racimos apretados alrededor de ciertos valores. Las bibliotecas de rotámeros por lo tanto, generalmente, derivan del análisis estadístico de la cadena lateral de conformaciones en conocidas estructuras de proteínas, mediante la observación de conformaciones de los grupos o dividiendo el espacio del ángulo diedro en bandejas, y determinando una conformación promedio en cada ubicación. Esta división suele ser por motivos de física-química, como en las divisiones para la rotación sobre los enlaces sp3-sp3 en tres contenedores de 120°, centrada en cada conformación alternada (60°, 180° -60°).

Las bibliotecas de rotámeros pueden ser independientes de la columna vertebral, dependientes de la estructura secundaria o dependientes de la columna vertebral. Las distinciones se hacen dependiendo de si los ángulos diedros para los rotámeros o sus frecuencias dependen de la conformación de la red local o no. Las bibliotecas de rotámeros independientes de la columna vertebral no hacen referencia a la conformación de la columna vertebral y se calculan en todas las cadenas por el lado disponible de un tipo determinado. Las bibliotecas secundarias con estructura dependiente presentan diferentes ángulos diedros o frecuencias de rotámeros para la α-hélice, β-hoja o estructuras secundarias de bobina. Las bibliotecas dependientes de la columna vertebral de rotámeros presentan conformaciones o frecuencias que dependen de la conformación de la columna vertebral local definida por la columna vertebral de los ángulos diedros ϕ y ψ, independientemente de la estructura secundaria. Finalmente, como una variante de las bibliotecas dependientes de la columna vertebral de rotámeros, existen en forma de rotámeros de posición específica los definidos por un fragmento de normalmente 5 aminoácidos de longitud, donde se examina la conformación de la cadena de lado del residuo central.

DEWEY-HUMBOLDT - The En-vironmental Protection Agency has officially proposed placing the Iron King Mine and smelter complex on its Superfund hazardous waste cleanup list.
EPA officials Wednesday named the mine and smelter, located along opposite sides of Highway 69 in Humboldt, as one of six sites nationwide for its National Priorities List.
Superfund is the federal program that investigates and cleans up the most difficult uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites that pose the greatest long-term threat to public health and the environment in the country.
EPA officials say former operations and processing of heavy metals at the mine have contaminated soil, sediments and surface water and groundwater with arsenic and lead, among other contaminants.
Dewey-Humboldt residents now will have 60 days in which to tell the EPA of their concerns or complaints.
If the residents do not have any significant complaints, the EPA would move forward with its work.
In the coming months, the EPA will conduct a community meeting to discuss the Superfund program, upcoming activities at the site and opportunities for community involvement.
"I imagine that we (the town) will have some contact with EPA soon because part of their process is to create some kind of a community group with which they can interact and exchange information," said Mayor Earl Goodwin, who was unaware of the agency's decision.
This summer, EPA officials plan to begin a remedial investigation/feasibility study at the site where they will collect soil, air and water samples in order to choose an appropriate cleanup method.
"We are mobilizing to collect the data that will help us address the sources of contamination which have been an ongoing concern for many residents," said Keith Takata, Superfund division director for the EPA's Pacific Southwest region, in a statement. "The Superfund program is an appropriate solution where no other viable regulatory options for cleaning up the sources of contamination from these historical operations exist."
A residential area in Dewey-Humboldt sits between the mine and the smelter. Within the past two years, EPA scientists have detected dangerous levels of arsenic and lead in the soil of several residential yards.
By putting the sites on the National Priorities List, the EPA can investigate the sources of contamination and decide the best cleanup option.
This past fall, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and a majority of the Dewey-Humboldt Town Council supported a Superfund listing.
"I'm happy to hear that there's a possibility of significant remediation," councilman Floyd Wright said. "From what I can see, this will be the best thing for the town."
In the initial stages of the decision making process for an EPA listing, Goodwin suggested that the town look for other alternatives, such as paying for a cleanup with private money, rather than immediately inviting the feds to town.
Councilman Don Tebbe and Vice Mayor Warren Rushton agreed with those sentiments, but most of the council favored Superfund primarily because of the cleanup's considerable expense.
"The council voted to let the EPA proceed, so I'm on board with the council's decision at this point," Goodwin said. "I'm not sure that a cleanup is imperative. It's the data gathering and the analysis that the EPA will do first. Out of that will come the discussion about what to do next, and that could involve cleanup."
The 153-acre Iron King Mine was active off and on from 1906 to 1969. Miners processed ore from the mine and nearby mines at the 189-acre Humboldt smelter from the late 1800s until the early 1960s.
The EPA proposes or adds sites to its National Priorities List as part of a periodic review and update of the Superfund program.
Arizona currently has eight sites on the National Priorities List in addition to the proposed site in Dewey-Humboldt.


DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - February 2, 2011) - U.S. revenues from digital health technology-enabled solutions and services will exceed $5.7 billion in 2015, fueled by chronic-care monitoring solutions, senior aging-in-place services, and connected wellness and fitness apps and programs, a new industry report from Parks Associates forecasts.
According to "Delivering Quality Care to the Digital Home: 2010 Update," industry revenues in 2010 hit $1.7 billion, and the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next five years will be 27%. Mobile broadband will be a key growth driver as many emerging health devices and services rely on high-speed connectivity to track vital signs or enable interactive features.
"The digital health industry has many subsectors, and near-term growth will be uneven across these segments," said Harry Wang, director of Parks Associates' health research team. "Adoption of chronic-care monitoring will grow slowly, and medication management and senior fall-detection programs will expand at above-average rates. The real engines of growth will be mobile care solutions and tracking applications."
For example, CES 2011 featured a "Fitness TechZone" showcasing digital innovations such as mobile apps designed to promote healthy living. In 2010, Philips introduced its consumer-focused DirectLife service, which includes an Activity Monitor that tracks a user's physical activity and helps with fitness and wellness management.
Wang is optimistic about the digital health industry but notes the political impasse over the new healthcare law could create challenges for healthcare technologies and business models. "To move forward, this industry needs smart entrepreneurs and visionary industry leaders and a regulatory and reimbursement system amenable to innovative, effective, and cost-saving technology advances."

A fledgling university spin-off enterprise which specialises in facial mapping technology has the gaming industry in its sights after becoming one of the first firms to benefit from a new fund to support innovation and product development in the West Midlands.
Expert image analysts Fizzog, based at the Venture Centre on Sir William Lyons Road in Coventry, have received a £30,000 grant through the new £5.8 million Advantage Concept Fund, to help develop a new application of biometric algorithms to rapidly map and render 3D models of players for computer games and Internet applications using webcams.
The new fund, which is overseen by the University of Warwick Science Park, has been established by regional development agency Advantage West Midlands, with backing from the European Regional Development Fund, to help firms investigate, advance and protect early stage innovative business ideas and to commercialise new innovations.
Dr Li Wang, Chief Technology Officer at early start-up company Fizzog, said: "We are delighted by the support Fizzog has received through the Advantage Concept Fund. The grant is helping us to take our expertise in facial mapping and develop innovative products with strong potential for commercial application.
David Grindrod, Director of the Advantage Concept Fund and Deputy Director of the University of Warwick Science Park, said: "All high quality applications will be considered regardless of sector, however, priority may be given to the five key technology areas: advanced materials; healthcare technology; energy technology; transportation technology; and digital media.
"We encourage applications from both start-up and trading companies and will endeavour to make the process as straightforward as possible. We will discuss the project early on, ensure detailed application forms are filled in only when we are confident there is a realistic prospect of success, and will provide consultants to help provide guidance in the completion of fund forms.
Nick Paul CBE, chairman of Advantage West Midlands, recently experienced Fizzog's technology for himself. Mr Paul said: "The Advantage Concept Fund is designed specifically to support innovative businesses like Fizzog, to help them develop the new products, processes and services which are essential to the successful economic future of the region.
"For companies like Fizzog, innovation drives their economic growth and we are delighted to support this project.

Q: Using certain javascript code on mobile devices only? I am trying to code a way that only allows this particular javascript code to run on screen sizes that are less than 900 pixels. This code is used to set up a simple left and right navigation button on mobile devices. However, when I try and use matchMedia it totally messes up my code but does not throw any errors. How would you approach this issues?
   var flavorScroll = (function() {

        let widthMatch = window.matchMedia("(min-width: 901px)");

    if (widthMatch.matches) {
        var flavorBox1 = document.body.querySelector('#flavor-box-1');
        var flavorBox2 = document.body.querySelector('#flavor-box-2');
        var flavorBox3 = document.body.querySelector('#flavor-box-3');
        var flavorBox4 = document.body.querySelector('#flavor-box-4');

        var buttonRight = document.body.querySelector('#flavorButtonRight');
        var buttonLeft = document.body.querySelector('#flavorButtonLeft');

        var step = 1;

        leftButton.style.visibility = 'hidden';

        function flavorDisplayer(currentStep){
            if(currentStep === 1) {
                flavorBox1.style.display = 'block';

                flavorBox2.style.display = 'none';

                leftButton.style.visibility = 'hidden';
            } else if(currentStep === 2) {
                flavorBox2.style.display = 'block';

                flavorBox1.style.display = 'none';
                flavorBox3.style.display = 'none';

                leftButton.style.visibility = 'visible';
            } else if(currentStep === 3) {
                flavorBox3.style.display = 'block';

                flavorBox2.style.display = 'none';
                flavorBox4.style.display = 'none';

                rightButton.style.visibility = 'visible';
            } else if(currentStep === 4) {
                flavorBox4.style.display = 'block';

                flavorBox3.style.display = 'none';

                rightButton.style.visibility = 'hidden';
            }
        }

        buttonRight.addEventListener('click', function() {
            step += 1;

            flavorDisplayer(step);
        });

        buttonLeft.addEventListener('click', function() {
            step -= 1;

            flavorDisplayer(step);
        });

    } else {

        }

})();

A: This is a handy util I use...
var breakpoint = {
  is(s) {
    const size = s.trim()
    const sizes = {
      xsmall: "480px",
      small: "576px",
      medium: "780px",
      large: "992px",
      xlarge: "1200px",
    }

    if (sizes.hasOwnProperty(size)) {
      // return mq(`only screen and (min-width: ${sizes[size]})`)
      return window.matchMedia(`only screen and (min-width: ${sizes[size]})`).matches
    }

    throw new ReferenceError(`The size ${size} is not a valid breakpoint: ${JSON.stringify(sizes)}`)
  },
}

Then you can wrap your function in an if statement i.e.
if (breakpoint.is("medium")) {
...
}

A: Use screen.width to get the current size of the screen the user is working on. Then use that value to limit when the code is executed.
    var scrn = screen.width
    if (scrn < 2000) { console.log(1); };
