What does spastic cerebral palsy look like?
November 14, 2014 /in Cerebral Palsy - Signs and Diagnosis /by Jesse Reiter
Spastic cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder that causes problems with movement and balance due to a brain injury that occurs during or near the time of labor and delivery. Sometimes cerebral palsy is noticed soon after birth, but in other children, the disorder won't be noticed until a few years later. Babies with cerebral palsy are often slow to roll over, sit, crawl, or walk, and may look weak and have poor head position. Cerebral palsy noticed a few years later in life is characterized by abnormal muscle tone, poor reflexes, and motor coordination, permanently fixed/tight muscles (spasticity), spasms and other involuntary movements, unsteady walking, problems with balance, and scissor or toe walking.
Spastic Cerebral Palsy: The Most Common Type of Cerebral Palsy
Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy, occurring in approximately 70 – 90% of all cases. Normally, muscles coordinate in pairs; when one group of muscles contract (tighten), the other group relaxes. This allows free movement. In spastic cerebral palsy, complications in brain-to-nerve-to-muscle communication occur and the balanced degree of muscle tension is disrupted. Muscles affected by spastic cerebral palsy become active together, which effectively blocks coordinated movement. Thus, the muscles in children with spastic cerebral palsy are constantly stiff, or spastic; they have stiff, jerky movements stemming from an abnormally high muscle tone, called hypertonia.
The main difference between spastic diplegia (spastic cerebral palsy that primarily affects the lower body) and a normal gait (body propulsion/movement) pattern is its signature "scissor gait." Scissor gait is characterized by the following:
Hips and pelvis are often locked as if crouching while walking
Ankles may be turned inwards while walking
Feet often make contact with the ground primarily at the ball of the foot, not the heel (may look like "tip toe" walking)
Knees and thighs may cross or touch while walking
Arms and hands may go outwards from the body to provide balance
The degree of spasticity varies widely from child to child. Balance problems and/or stiffness in gait can range from barely noticeable to necessitating wheelchair use. Above the hips, children with spastic diplegia typically retain normal or near-normal muscle tone and range of motion, though some spasticity may also affect the upper body. Additionally, because leg tightness often leads to instability when in an upright position, extra muscle tension usually develops in the upper body, shoulders, and arms due to the upper body trying to compensate for the instability of the lower body.
Although it has its origins in a brain injury, spastic cerebral palsy can be thought of as a collection of orthopedic and neuromuscular issues because of how its symptoms manifest over the course of the person's lifespan. Spastic quadriplegia in particular, especially if combined with verbal challenges and strabismus, may be misinterpreted as alluding to intellectual or cognitive dimensions to the disability, but this is false; the intelligence of a person with any type of spastic cerebral palsy is unaffected by the condition of the spasticity itself. Spasticity is simply a description of the movement disorder caused by the brain injury. An injury in the brain can cause spastic cerebral palsy without causing cognitive/intellectual problems. However, oftentimes a baby sustains a brain injury that causes damage to multiple areas of the brain, and the child can be left with spastic cerebral palsy as well as other conditions, such as intellectual disabilities and developmental delays. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (a lack of oxygen in the brain that causes white matter injury) is a form of brain damage that can cause spastic cerebral palsy as well as other conditions in a baby, such as seizure disorders and hydrocephalus.
Types of Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Spastic hemiplegia is when one side of the body is affected. Generally, injury to muscle-nerves controlled by the brain's left side causes a right body deficit and vice versa. Typically, people that have spastic hemiplegia are the most ambulatory (able to walk) compared to people with other types of cerebral palsy, although they generally have a limping instability on the affected side and are prescribed ankle-foot orthotics to help prevent the instability.
Spastic diplegia is when the lower extremities are affected, with little to no upper-body spasticity. Most people with spastic diplegia are fully ambulatory, but are "tight" and have a scissors gait. Flexed knees and hips to varying degrees and moderate to severe adduction (limbs move closer to the body) is present. This adduction problem stems from tight adductor muscles and comparatively weak abductor muscles. Gait analysis is often done in early life on a regular basis, and assistive devices, such as walkers, crutches, and canes, are often provided. Any ankle-foot orthotics provided usually go on both legs rather than just one. In addition, people with spastic diplegia are often nearsighted. Over time, the effects of the spasticity sometimes produce hip problems and dislocations. In three-quarters of spastic diplegics, strabismus (being cross-eyed) can be present as well.
Spastic monoplegia is when one limb is affected.
Spastic triplegia is when three limbs are affected.
Spastic quadriplegia is all four limbs more or less equally affected. People with spastic quadriplegia are the least likely to be able to walk, or if they can, to desire to walk, because their muscles are too tight and it is too much of an effort to do so. Some children with spastic quadriplegia also have hemiparetic tremors, an uncontrollable shaking that affects the limbs on one side of the body and impairs normal movement.
In any manifestation of spastic cerebral palsy, clonus of the affected limb(s) may intermittently result, as well as muscle spasms, each of which results from the pain and/or stress of the tightness experienced, indicating especially hard-working and/or exhausted musculature. Clonus is not the same as hemiparetic tremors. Clonus is a series of involuntary, rhythmic, muscular contractions and relaxations.
The spasticity itself can (and usually does) also lead to very early onset of muscle-stress symptoms like arthritis and tendinitis, especially in ambulatory individuals in their mid-20s and early 30s. Spastic cerebral palsy can be helped by medical treatment pursued on a multitude of orthopedic and neurological fronts throughout life. In addition, surgery and many different types of therapy have been shown to help the symptoms of spastic cerebral palsy.
Physical therapy and occupational therapy regimens of assisted stretching, strengthening, functional tasks, and/or targeted physical activity and exercise, are usually the chief ways to keep spastic cerebral palsy well-managed, although if the spasticity is too much for the person to handle, other remedies may be considered, such as various antispasmodic medications, Botox, baclofen, or even neurosurgery, known as selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), which eliminates the spasticity by eliminating the nerves causing it.

Testimonial from Matthew's Family


1. Do I Have Other People In My Life?
Do you have other people in you life? Not just who you know, but who you actually go to, spend time with, even rely on? That's key. "It's very important to have independence in a relationship," relationship etiquette expert Mara Opperman tells Bustle. "Successful, healthy relationships allow for the both people to form a bond which lets them to not only grow together but also to grow independently as people. It's essential to have your own sense of autonomy while feeling you can depend on each other. Also, if you give up your independence and abandon the things that used to make you happy, it will be reflected in your relationship." Your partner can't be everything to you. Make sure you have other people around who mean a lot to you.
2. Am I Just Lonely?
But when you're in a relationship, it's a little different — because it can lead you to be too clingy with your partner. Take a look what you're expecting this relationship to be. If you want the relationship to be your whole world, then you're probably going to be too clingy.
3. Does My Partner Reciprocate?
It's all relative. If you and your partner are equally needy, it may not be a healthy relationship, but it's not as complicated as if it's one-sided. The really tricky thing is if you're constantly demanding more of your partner's time and attention, but they don't seem to need yours. So try to see if you and your partner are on the same level.
4. How Much Do I Do Without My Partner?
Do you have any hobbies? Hobbies that don't involve your partner? Even if it's as simple as going for a run, you need something. If you don't have it, get it. "Be courageous, be adventurous, and sign up for something new and out of your comfort zone," Didi Wong, Integrative Wellness and Life Coach, tells Bustle.
5. What's My Partner Like With Me Physically?
If you're really clingy with your partner and they feel uncomfortable, that can manifest physically. If you find them withdrawing or avoiding you, there's a chance that all of your neediness is pushing them away. Give them some room to come to you — without pressuring them into it.
6. Am I Irrationally Jealous?
Neediness, at its most extreme, can turn into some really irrational jealousy. "We all experience jealousy at some point; the key to keeping things healthy is being able to identify the feeling and not allow it to control behavior," marriage and family therapist and relationship expert Esther Boykin tells Bustle. And if you find yourself debilitatingly jealous and notice it has an effect on your relationship, you need to check your neediness levels.
7. Can I Imagine My Life Without Them?
The idea of breaking up with your significant other might be devastating. But it shouldn't feel like the end of everything. If you feel like your world would end if you broke up, take a deep breath and figure out how to get some sense of self back.
It's normal to rely on your partner and to feel a little needy from time to time, but being too needy in your relationship can lead to its breakdown. Make sure that you're honest about your actions and your motivations — it's the best way to keep your relationship strong.

Fisheries over the years have evolved from subsistence fishing towards a capital intensive enterprise. There has been structural transformation in the fishing fleet with motorization and mechanization. The current scenario of marine fisheries in terms of fishing fleets clearly indicates a situation "too many boats chasing too few fishes". Due to the tragedy of commons in operation, increasing fleet size and costs of fishing and the decreasing catch per unit efforts, the fishing operations have taken a toll. The mechanised sector is venturing into multi day fishing which negate the losses of fishing cost. Sizeable amount of low value fish's lands across the landing centres on account of the targeted fishing; Low value fishes include juveniles, by catch, trash fishes and discards and it is estimated that around 30 per cent of the mechanised landings constitute low value fishes which has a huge untapped economic value. Economic loss due to low value catch can cause serious environmental threats that could be reduced by implementing mesh-size regulations to avoid juvenile catch, prevent discards and utilizing by catch. Appropriate utilisation strategies are to be developed with respect to discards, regulating multi-day fishing operations or innovative measures may be adopted to land the catches on frequent intervals. There exists a huge consumer demand on account of the escalating domestic market prices of fish. The paper focuses on the targeted fishing and resultant huge amount of by catch / low value fishes / trash fishes which possess a huge economic value which are being surpassed. The paper estimates the quantum of low value fish across the different fishing sector and the present level of marketing. The paper suggests the possible policy intervention required for harnessing the market for the low value fishes.

92% of doctors tell patients not to wait to get the flu shot
Nearly 7 out of 10 US Physicians Also Say Pandemic Apt to Significantly Impact Travel This Holiday Season
New York – September 24, 2020 – Week 14 of Sermo's COVID-19 Real Time Barometer survey revealed that 92 percent of physicians in the United States are recommending that patients get their annual flu shot as soon as possible in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In New York and California, the number of physicians recommending a flu shot immediately jumps to 96 percent and 94 percent, respectively.
While the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traditionally recommends patients receive a flu shot by the end of October to help combat the virus during flu season, almost all (85%) of the 2,400+ Sermo doctors surveyed from September 17-20 across 31 countries are encouraging their patients to receive a flu shot immediately.
"Each year, the flu sickens millions and hospitalizes hundreds of thousands of people during the fall and winter months. The elderly are especially hard hit every year," said Peter Kirk, Sermo CEO. "While physicians always recommend flu shots, the fact that almost all are recommending that patients receive a vaccine sooner rather than later shows just how concerned they are about the potential for flu to deplete valuable resources in the middle of this historic pandemic."
The survey also found that physicians, like everyone else, are already planning on either eliminating or sharply curtailing travel plans during the holiday season because of COVID-19. Worldwide, 68 percent of physicians said that their holiday travel plans are 'significantly impacted' by the pandemic. Overall, in the U.S., 66 percent of physicians said they didn't plan to travel with their families, but those numbers jumped to 83 percent and 70 percent in New York and California, respectively.
Other findings from the survey include:
As many as 65 percent of physicians worldwide indicated that they had ordered a COVID-19 test for a patient while 42 percent said they have treated a patient for COVID-19.
In the U.S., 70 percent of physicians have ordered a COVID-19 test while 44 percent said they have treated a patient for the illness.
In New York, the numbers increase to 76 percent and 47 percent, respectively. In California, the percentage of physicians ordering tests mirror those nationwide.
The numbers follow the belief physicians have that a second surge of COVID-19 cases is on the horizon. Globally, 93 percent of physicians expect a second wave of cases as the Northern Hemisphere enters the fall and winter months, and people spend more time indoors.
The Real Time Barometer is an observational study of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak as reported by physicians with firsthand experience treating COVID-19 patients. Each week, thousands of physicians provide insights on topics regarding the global health crisis. To date, Sermo has conducted over 60,800 interviews with doctors in 31 countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Brazil, Russia, China, Japan and Australia. Full results are available at sermo.com.

We Must Get Our Fiscal House in Order
Reuters is reporting that there is a very real possibility that the United States could lose its "AAA" rating if we do not take the necessary steps to reduce our deficit in the next three to four years. Moody's lead analyst for the United States said very bluntly, "The AAA rating of the U.S. is not guaranteed."
At the end of this fiscal year (September 30, 2009), the U.S. government recorded a deficit $1.417 trillion, the highest it's ever been in our nation's history. Yet, this startling number has not fazed President Obama and Democrat leaders in Washington one bit and they continue to plow forward with their reckless spending agenda.
It's hard to deny that a big contributor to this astronomical deficit was the $700-billion bank bailout program (known as TARP) passed back in October of 2008. Just last week, TARP Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky, who is in charge of overseeing the bailout program on behalf of the taxpayers, said that our economy may be at a greater risk now than we were at the time the program was put into place one year ago.
CNN's Political Ticker has the story:
"These banks that were too big to fail are now bigger," Barofsky said. "Government has sponsored and supported several mergers that made them larger and that guarantee, that implicit guarantee of moral hazard, the idea that the government is not going to let these banks fail, which was implicit a year ago, is now explicit, we've said it. So if anything, not only have there not been any meaningful regulatory reform to make it less likely, in a lot of ways, the government has made such problems more likely.
"Potentially we could be in more danger now than we were a year ago," he added.
It seems the only thing Washington is good at is spending your money. There seems to be less than zero fiscal responsibility in Washington right now. With historic deficit and debt numbers, with Medicare and Social Security on the brink of insolvency, all they can think to do is pass a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care and a job killing cap-and-trade national energy tax. If we don't get our fiscal house in order, future generations will surely inherit a broken nation.

In 2016, the Bureau of Policy, Planning and Learning (PPL) commissioned an internal stocktaking of USAID's mission-based MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning) Platforms. A MEL Platform is an implementing mechanism that provides a mission or other operating unit access to technical and advisory services to design and carry out various monitoring functions, (e.g., data collection and management); evaluations (including other studies or analyses); and/or collaborating, learning, and adapting (CLA) support functions, as a means to bolster a mission's monitoring, evaluation, and CLA efforts.
The Mission-Based Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Platforms Assessment Report (available on USAID's Development Experience Clearinghouse), summarizes the key findings from the desk review of 55 MEL Platform SOWs (available as of April 2016) and key informant interviews and group discussions with 155 individuals associated with 30 of the 55 mechanisms. Those interviewed include staff from USAID missions, Platforms, activity implementing partners (IPs), and USAID/Washington.
A key finding from the assessment is that while Platforms can address bureaucratic challenges and provide ease of access to MEL talent, inclusive design and effective management are necessary to strengthen the use of good MEL practices. This and other findings were shared during a webinar in September 2017 and a joint event hosted by The Society for International Development (SID)/Washington Chapter and InterAction in October 2017.
Both events reviewed the highlights from the assessment, focusing on how to strengthen the management of MEL Platforms, and shared the best and most current USAID guidance relating to the Program Cycle. These resources are available for USAID staff and implementing partners on USAID's Learning Lab website. Please visit the Monitoring, Evaluation, and CLA Toolkits for additional information.
The document was produced at the request of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was prepared independently by Laura Arntson, Tonya Giannoni, Nancy Peek, and Kristin Saarlas under the Expanding Monitoring and Evaluation Capacities (MECap) task order, under contract number AID-OAA-M-14-00014.

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have hit the headlines after their secret engagement has been revealed. The Grammy award-winning musician and actor got engaged months ago but have chosen to keep quiet.
A source has told The Sun that the pair are engaged but don't have any plans to announce it publicly and want to keep it in their 'inner inner circle'. Taylor, who recently released a new song for the soundtrack of Where The Crawdads Sing, and Joe who plays Nick in Conversation With Friends have been together for six years, first meeting in 2016.
The couple have always been very private, they rarely make appearances together or speak about each other. They have yet to confirm the rumours.

Although Joe is a famous actor he pales in comparison to global star Taylor, but Joe hits closer to home than Taylor. Few will know that Joe's life started out with humble beginnings in Tunbridge Wells.
The pair probably first met at the 2016 Met Gala; fans think that Taylor's 2017 song 'Dress' references their very first meeting.

Then, shortly after Taylor's fledgling relationship with Marvel star Tom Hiddleston ended, reports emerged that the pair had begun dating.
Both Taylor and Joe tend not to speak publicly about their relationship, and the pair often attend events separately in an attempt to keep their personal and private lives apart.
That hasn't stopped Taylor sending fans wild by slipping in lyrics about her boyfriend into her work, and plenty of rumours have swirled over the years that the pair could be engaged.

Where is Joe Alwyn from?
The Mary Queen of Scots star was born in Tunbridge Wells, before his family moved a little further north to Crouch End in London.
Joe went to school at the City of London School, before studying English Literature and Drama at the University of Bristol, graduating in 2012
He learned his craft at the National Youth Theatre, and appeared in a number of smaller productions before finally hitting the big screen in 2016 with a lead role in Bill Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

Joe quickly made a name for himself and has appeared alongside A-list actors like Oscar Isaacs, Ben Kingsley, and Margot Robbie.
He is probably best known for Conversation With Friends and his antagonistic role in 2018 film Boy Erased, and for playing Robert Dudley in Mary Queen of Scots.
He was also part of the team that won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2021 for girlfriend Taylor's Folklore.
While Joe has long since left his Kent roots behind, many will still be surprised to know that arguably the world's biggest pop star is dating a boy from Tunbridge Wells.

In the United States, elements of the religious right fuel fears of an existential Islamic threat, spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric into mainstream politics. In Indonesia, Muslim absolutists urge suppression of churches and minority sects, fostering a climate of rising intolerance. In India, Narendra Modi's radical supporters instigate communal riots and academic censorship in pursuit of their Hindu nationalist vision. Outbreaks of religious intolerance are usually assumed to be visceral and spontaneous. But in Hate Spin, Cherian George shows that they often involve sophisticated campaigns manufactured by political opportunists to mobilize supporters and marginalize opponents. Right-wing networks orchestrate the giving of offense and the taking of offense as instruments of identity politics, exploiting democratic space to promote agendas that undermine democratic values.
George calls this strategy "hate spin"—a double-sided technique that combines hate speech (incitement through vilification) with manufactured offense-taking (the performing of righteous indignation). It is deployed in societies as diverse as Buddhist Myanmar and Orthodox Christian Russia. George looks at the world's three largest democracies, where intolerant groups within India's Hindu right, America's Christian right, and Indonesia's Muslim right are all accomplished users of hate spin. He also shows how the Internet and Google have opened up new opportunities for cross-border hate spin.
George argues that governments must protect vulnerable communities by prohibiting calls to action that lead directly to discrimination and violence. But laws that try to protect believers' feelings against all provocative expression invariably backfire. They arm hate spin agents' offense-taking campaigns with legal ammunition. Anti-discrimination laws and a commitment to religious equality will protect communities more meaningfully than misguided attempts to insulate them from insult.


Moira has gone to China for a week, i went with her on Saturday to Barcelona, i went because i wanted to go to the botanical gardens, she went to catch a plane, i also took the opportunity to buy loads of limes for a euro, curry leaves cinnamon sticks and gram flower, stuff you cant get in a small village with more restaurants then people. i didnt go out that night, i couldnt it was the eurovision, actually i did pop across to the bar to watch the resultswith the Romanian and Ukrainian bar maids whom voted for each other. sunday was a quite day planting chillies, stroll along the beach at Santa Martgarita, buy some and fizzy water and then home for my first dip in the pool this year.
Moira has gone to see Lydia, and Mum and Dad have gone home after a weekend of rain, great for our well and swimming pool, but not too good for them, although yesterday was the only day they couldnt do anything.
Sunday was a funny day, we wanted to go on a boat to Cadaques, but didnt know what time they left, we had an idea it was oneish. we got there with time to park, it wasnt oneish it was 3, so we had a coffee, we had packed a picnik so we eat that then drove to Almadrava beach, looked at the sea, then back to Roses to get the boat which had decided the weather was too bad to go, it was canceled, so we came home just as the skies opened up. that night i treid out my new little barbque on the balcony.
Saturday morning it was drizilling but not enough to stop us going to Figueres to shop when we got home the weather had pickedup a bit so it was a mass siesta on the sun beds. that night we all went to the Cafe Colon for my birthday with the friend, Irena had 8 dutch women on tow, whom were hilarious. we then went on to the sindicat for some music until it was really time to come home.
Jazz and Emily have offered mework washing dishes over the summer, going to takethem upon it, dont see why not.
Thursday was my Birthday and Mum and Dad were here having got here on Wednesday, sowe went to the Pizza restaurant in Roses as mum likes that restaurant and Moira can drive home quite happily.
it was the flower show 'el temps de flors' in Girona so we went to see as much as we could see then for a curry, it was lucky we had seen as much as we could see before the curry because after the curry we couldnt walk anywhere.i kind of think it was better then last year. that night there was a p arty in a house of one of Moiras yoga ladies i was the driver, which was fine and we met some really nice people, one or 2 snooty people but some really nice people as well.
Sunday was a funny one because we went on a organised walk in aid of cancer research but hardly anyone turned up and then we got lost because the signs for where to go stopped after half way round, and we was walking with one of the organisers, when we got back instead of eating there we drove down to the beach in Empuria Brava for a picnic with Mark and Wendy.
still working full time, Jesus is now at home but is really not allowed to do anything that will put pressure on his heart.
Sunday we went for a walk Moira me Mark and Wendy to a nice bay just passed El Buli where there is a lovely little hotel the bay is called Cala jocul, or something like that, it was like a place we have stayed some where along the way over the years, and as we where with Mark and Wendy who are not backwards at coming forwards, we had a good look around, which if it was just Moira and I we would have been to embarrassed. that night Moira made the famous aubergine curry.
Saturday was Figueres day where i bought nuts and Moira bought me some Palladium boots for my birthday, then home via Jesus to pick up my summer work outfit. that night we went to the bar then on to see some music but the band wasnt that good so we didnt stay long.
Friday night we went to Can Batlle to eat and there was me and Moira and just another couple, the waitress told us that she is really noticing the difference between this year and other years with the amount of dinners there are in the evenings, with more people eating out at lunchtime because it is cheaper, she is off to see her daughter in Vallodalid soon.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — A female loggerhead sea turtle found dead in northern Palm Beach County was another victim of boat strikes this nesting season.
Loggerhead Marinelife Center marketing and social media coordinator Cassidy Sparks tells The Palm Beach Post the turtle was discovered Saturday on Jupiter Island.
Sparks says boats have injured 18 sea turtles in the northern Palm Beach County area since March 1 and three have survived.
A Jupiter resident found the latest victim with four strikes that had cracked open the turtle's shell. It's unclear whether propellers from a boat hit her in the Atlantic Ocean or the Intracoastal Waterway.
The Marinelife Center says boaters should obey posted speeds, place engines in neutral if turtles are seen nearby, and stay at least 150 feet (50 meters) away from sea life.

Regional: COVID-19 cannabis drug hope . . . Scientists in Jamaica find part of the plant can fight virus
Jun 21, 2020 | Further Afield | 0 comments
(Jamaica Observer) – Jamaican scientist Dr Henry Lowe says he and a team of fellow researchers have found that a flavonoid they had isolated from the cannabis plant five years ago has the potential to mitigate against COVID-19, and the development has attracted the attention and support of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH).
"What is exciting is that NIH is supporting us, which is very important, because if they didn't see value, they wouldn't be doing it," Dr Lowe, who is known internationally for his cancer research and use of Jamaican plants to produce nutraceuticals, told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.
News of the scientific development is published in the latest edition of Molecules, a leading online, peer-reviewed, open access scientific journal published each month by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute.
Noting that flavonoids — which are actually molecules commonly found in most fruits, like oranges, grapefruit and vegetables — are widely used as phytomedicines (herbal medicine with therapeutic and healing properties), the publication pointed out that it was reporting on "flavonoid phytomedicines with potential for development into prophylactics or therapeutics against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)".
Yesterday Dr Lowe who was named Jamaica Observer Business Leader in 2006, explained that he and his colleague scientists had, in 2015, actually isolated the flavonoid, named Caflanone from a very rare cannabis plant strain discovered in Jamaica. At the time, they were conducting research to find a drug that was effective against the coronavirus family following outbreaks of Zika, chikungunya, and previous scares of the H1N1 bird flu virus as well as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome).
"We decided to take a look at that flavonoid which we identified to see if it would be effective against these [viruses], and it was found to be bioactive against several members of the coronavirus family, but we didn't do anything about it except publish and secure patents. But because there was no longer any emergency for us to continue dedicating time to the research into those viruses, we decided to switch back into full gear on pancreatic cancer," said Dr Lowe, who last year received an exclusive patent from the US Government's Patent Office for the use of Caflanone to treat pancreatic cancer.
However, after the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern in January this year, Dr Lowe and his colleagues — Drs Wilfred Ngwa, Rajiv Kumar, Daryl Thompson, William Lyerly, Roscoe Moore, Terry-Elinor Reid, and Ngeh Toyang — decided to collaborate to broaden the base of research on other flavonoids, among them Equivir, Hesperetin, Myricetin, and Linebacker.
"We have found that this flavonoid (Caflanone) has the potential to mitigate against COVID-19 and we have a lot more to come," Lowe said. "The results are very positive."
He said that since then the team of scientists has linked with Harvard Medical School "because a part of the need is a delivery mechanism, and Harvard has this cutting-edge nanotechnology, developed by Dr Ngwa, which is used to load our drug Caflanone onto nano drones and take it directly to the site of action."
"It is quite clear that the novel drug Caflanone could be a game changer in the fight against COVID-19," Dr Lowe said yesterday. "If this is achieved, it could bring not only relief for the millions of sufferers of COVID-19 but also identify Jamaica as a country where scientific and medical innovation can flourish, as well as create great wealth for the country."
Dr Toyang, who is Dr Lowe's chief scientist, was equally optimistic. "Our team is very excited to have a drug with unique potential to combat this dreadful COVID-19 disease," he said in a written note delivered by Dr Lowe.
Asked if he could give a timeline on the production of a drug to combat COVID-19, Dr Lowe said no.
"Since it's all about research and development, definitive timelines cannot be given, but we expect that it should be sometime later this year for the drug to be available. For now, though, more research, including clinical trials, need to be done," he told the Observer.

Jokic passed 1,000 rebounds for the first time in his career after recording 16 last night in a victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. It was a sensational evening for Jokic, who scored a game-high 35 points and added 16 rebounds, six assists, four steals, and one block.
"Joker? Dude is really great at basketball," said Denver teammate Bones Hyland.
Meanwhile, Jokic has the inside track to winning back-to-back MVP awards in one of the closest races in the last 20 years against Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid finished a close second to Jokic in an ESPN straw poll of MVP voters. But after a hot run by Jokic in the final week of the season, the reigning MVP is now -320 odds to win the MVP versus +220 odds for Embiid.
"The MVP isn't even a competition," said Nuggets coach Michael Malone. "He was good last year, and he's even better this year. "
In April, Jokic is averaging 38 points, 17.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. Overall this season, Jokic averages 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game. His PER rating of 33.02 is top in the NBA.
The Nuggets are 48-33 and sit in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, just a half-game behind the slumping Utah Jazz in the #5 seed. If the Nuggets can pass the Jazz, they'll avoid a first-round matchup against the #3 Golden State Warriors and play the #4 Dallas Mavericks instead.
Good morning. Check out these "advanced stats" from Jokic:
— First 2000/1000/500 season ever
— First to average 25/13/6 in a season ever (he's averaging 27/14/8)
— First player in top 10 PPG, RPG, APG, FG% in last 50 seasons pic.twitter.com/9rXYm4BzS1

Jokic: 2K/1K/500
There's a reason why no one has reached the 2K/1K/500 club before Jokic. Not even Oscar Robertson and the Big O himself could tally such a momentous feat. It's because it's hard for big men to notch 500 assists, and it's even harder for guards to pass the 1,000-rebound threshold. Jokic is widely considered the best passing center in the NBA, and one of their best passing big men of all time.
Jokic is in the top eight in three major statistical categories this season, including points (8th), assists (8th), and rebounding (2nd).
Nikola Jokic Stats
Points Rebounds Assists Steals Blocks FG%
2020-21 26.4 10.8 8.3 1.3 0.7 56.6%
Jokic will win the MVP this season due to posting better numbers than he did last year. He's shooting 58.3% from the floor even though his 3-point shooting dipped a tad. He's hauling down three more rebounds per game this season, which is why he set a career-best and passed the 1K mark for the first time. His assists are down 0.4 per game, but that's because he's essentially all of the offense this year with two key starters out with injuries.
Jamal Murray missed the entire season while rehabbing a blown-out ACL. Michael Porter injured his back in the first couple of weeks of the season and had season-ending back surgery in late 2021. Without two max-contract players, Jokic carried the Nuggets all season.
"He's the MVP for a reason," said Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins. "It's nearly impossible to guard. He's going to beat you from inside, outside, playmaking."

A ruby-throated's display includes flying back and forth in front of the female in a u-shape pattern, occasionally moving to a side-to-side or shuttle motion (sometimes these same maneuvers are performed as an aggressive display to an intruder into his territory.) If the female is duly impressed, they usually fly to a nearby perch where they mate. If she's not receptive to his advances, the male will often chase her from his territory, and wait for his next opportunity.
If the female is receptive and they mate, she goes alone to build her nest, lay eggs and raise offspring. Female hummingbirds are impressive engineers when it comes to nestconstruction. She chooses a site usually beneath a clump of leaves or needles in order to offer protection from rain and full sun, and uses spider or caterpillar silk interwoven with tiny twigs, bits of leaves, etc., then covers the outside with bits of lichen to help camouflage the structure. Spider silk is deemed stronger than steel for its size, and due to it elastic properties allows the nest to stretch to accommodate her growing chicks.

Business transitions
Worker transitions
Community capability building
Welcome to the website dedicated to keeping the community updated on the progress of Southland's just transition. This site contains information on work that is under way, who is leading the work and why.
The contact page outlines how you can get involved.
But first, what have we set out the do? Collectively, regional leaders, working though the project's Enduring Oversight Group, decided the just transition should help Southland:
"Build its economic, environmental and social resilience through and beyond the planned closure of the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter in December 2024."
Southland's Just Transition Work Plan
Minister commends Southland Just Transition work plan
The Just Transition process continues for Southland after a positive meeting with Labour's Energy and Resources Minister, Dr Megan Woods yesterday. With or without Tiwai,
Future of Southland secured as Just Transition work plan progresses
Southland is taking charge of its future, and it's looking very optimistic. The government committed to support Southland through a yearlong engagement and planning process
Skills hub proposed to help workers impacted if Tiwai smelter closes
Murihiku Regeneration is proposing that a skills hub be established in Southland to help the more than 2000 workers who'll be impacted if the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter closes.
Following the July 2020 closure announcement of the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter (NZAS), the Government committed to support the Southland region through a just transition process. In response, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has supported a year-long engagement and planning process with Southlanders.
Regardless of the fate of NZAS, a key focus of the just transition is planning for and managing the social, economic, and environmental impacts of economic change. A transition process should support communities to include a range of perspectives in planning, seize opportunities, and mitigate harms.
Defining a just transition
Major economic changes, such as a large employer leaving a region, tend to disadvantage some groups more than others. At times, these changes will have enough of an impact to cause long term harm to the community unless properly managed.
A concerted, cross-sector effort can mitigate these harms, support a community to adapt and manage impacts, and take advantage of new opportunities – we call this a just transition.
In general terms, a just transition is a strategy to help a region lead its own planning and ensure the impacts and opportunities arising from the transition are more evenly distributed.
A just transition process recognises there are many communities and perspectives in a region. There are also lots of different views on what a "successful" transition looks like.
A transition must be inclusive
Working in partnership with key Pou (or groups) can balance the ambitions of different groups, including those who may not always be included in regional planning.
In Southland the just transition partnership includes:
Local government
Education providers
Business representatives
Workers (represented by unions)
Community organisations
The primary sector
What's the government doing for Murihiku/Southland?
Hear the response from the Minister of Energy and Resources Megan Woods (3 minutes watch time).
Question 1 – Dr Liz Craig to the Minister of Energy and Resources from New Zealand Parliament on Vimeo.
What does this all mean for Southland?
During 2021 the just transitions process in Southland set about defining the challenges and opportunities facing the region. This included an assessment of the existing planning documents and developing an understanding of the region's competitive advantages. This process was guided by an interim Project Oversight Group, consisting of MBIE officials, the Regional Public Sector Commissioner, Murihiku Regeneration Collective representatives, and Southland local government representatives.
The just transition engagement and planning process resulted in a work plan broken into three key themes:
New industries and employment
Transitioning business and skills
Long-term planning and capability

Commercial tenancy disputes can arise in many different ways, regarding conduct that occurs prior to entry into a lease, during a lease, and after it has ended.
Often disputes will arise concerning the payment of rent and outgoings, the exercise of an option to renew the lease, and in making good the premises after the lease has ended.
Sometimes a tenant will allege that in the course of negotiating the purchase of a business and the assignment of a lease, the owner/ landlord made misleading representations regarding some aspect of the business, which the tenant relied on to purchase the business and enter the lease, and which has caused loss to the tenant.
For example, a tenant might allege that the owner/ landlord represented during negotiations that a business sold with the lease was making a particular revenue and profit, which did not turn out to be the case.
Under section 236 of the ACL, a person who suffers loss or damage because of the conduct of another person in breach of section 18, may recover the amount of the loss or damage from that other person, or against any person involved in the breach.
Misleading or deceptive conduct may also occur during the lease.
Please click here for more information on misleading and deceptive conduct.
Sometimes a landlord will substantially interfere with a tenant's possession and/ or enjoyment of the premises, by doing or failing to do something, either in respect of the premises, or on adjoining premises owned by the landlord.
For example substantial interference with the enjoyment of the premises might arise where a landlord fails to provide adequate exhaust fans for a restaurant's kitchen, or fails to provide a reliable power supply for a business to be operated on the premises, or allows a business to operate on adjoining premises which substantially affects passing trade.
an implied covenant which requires that the landlord not derogate from the grant of the lease. In other words the landlord cannot do, or omit to do, anything that would detract from the grant of the lease.
These covenants secure the tenant in the possession and enjoyment of the premises, for its intended purposes.
They are also independent of the covenant to pay rent. In other words, the non-payment of rent does not relieve the landlord from its obligation to give quiet enjoyment/ not to derogate from the grant.
The covenant of quiet enjoyment will be breached where the ordinary and lawful enjoyment of the premises is substantially interfered with by the acts or omissions of the landlord.
A breach will occur where the acts or omissions of the landlord render the premises unfit for the purpose for which the leased premises are intended to be used.
A breach may also occur where the landlord interferes with the tenant's physical occupation of the premises.
If a breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment (or not to derogate from the grant) is established, the tenant may be entitled to compensation.
In the usual case the tenant will be entitled to recover the profit the tenant could have expected to make if the lease had been performed (ie if the covenant(s) were not broken).
In a case where the tenant is forced to abandon the premises and sell, damages may be assessed by reference to the difference between the selling price and the price which would have been obtained had the covenant(s) been observed by the landlord.
In some cases it may not be possible to prove loss of profits – in which case the tenant may be entitled to recover expenditure thrown away eg loss of capital investment, and loss of revenue.
In Western Australia, in addition to section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law, and the covenants of quiet enjoyment/ not to derogate from grant, retail shop leases are governed by the Commercial Tenancy (Retail Shops) Agreements Act 1985 (the Commercial Tenancy Act).
Under section 16D(1) of the Commercial Tenancy Act, a party (or a former party) to a retail shop lease who suffers, or is likely to suffer, loss or damage because of misleading or deceptive conduct of another party (or former party) to the lease, may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for an order for compensation or other relief.
Section 16C of the Commercial Tenancy Act applies in addition to section 18 of the Australian Consumer Law set out above.
Sections 15C and 15D of the Commercial Tenancy Act provide that landlords and tenants shall not, in connection with a retail shop lease, engage in conduct that is, in all the circumstances, unconscionable.
Essentially, unconscionable conduct involves unacceptable conduct which is well outside what might be expected of parties to an arm's length commercial relationship.
(n) the extent to which the landlord required the tenant to incur unreasonable refurbishment or fit out costs.
Identical provisions apply in respect of alleged conduct by a tenant towards a landlord.
Please contact me if you require assistance concerning a commercial tenancy dispute.

Independent Record Pressing opens in New Jersey to press up to 1.5 million records a year.
The clue's in the name. With 13 million records sold in the United States last year, and demand at its highest in a quarter of a century, pressing plants have been popping up all over North America to service the booming vinyl renaissance.
Following the opening of Canada Boy Vinyl in Calgary last week, and new plants in New York,Portland and Vermont, New York Times have shed light on the latest addition to the production line, with Independent Record Pressing now open for business in New Jersey.
Running six presses – bought from Canada's now defunct RIP-V plant – Independent Record Pressing will initially do exactly what it says on the tin and service the independent labels frozen out by plants taking large orders from majors. Once running at full capacity they hope to press close to 1.5 million records a year.
However, second hand record presses have been increasingly hard to come by, and other plants have been forced to extreme and often dangerous lengths to source record presses.
