Four-Pill Drug Combo May Protect Patients with Heart Failure
upi.com
Many patients with heart failure might live years longer if they were on a combination of newer medications, a study suggests.
Researchers estimate that if certain heart failure patients were prescribed a four-pill regimen -- including three recently proven therapies -- they could live up to six years longer, compared with the regimen patients commonly use.
The findings, published online recently in the medical journal The Lancet, are projections, not guarantees.
But they do make a strong case for the medication cocktail, said lead author Dr. Muthiah Vaduganathan, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
"Combined use of these four pills would be anticipated to keep patients out of the hospital and alive for more years," he said.
Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart muscle cannot pump blood efficiently enough to meet the body's demands -- causing symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, and leg swelling.
The new study focused on patients who had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, which refers to how much blood the heart pushes out with each contraction. Reduced ejection fraction affects about half of heart failure patients.
For a long time, the standard medication regimen for those patients was a beta-blocker plus an ACE inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). All three drugs lower blood pressure and ease the heart's workload through different mechanisms.
But more recently, clinical trials have found that three other drug types can help patients live longer, beyond standard drugs alone.
One is a medication called Entresto, which combines the ARB valsartan with another drug, sacubitril. Another is a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin (Farxiga), which was recently shown to benefit heart failure patients with or without diabetes.
The third drug class is actually an old one: mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, which include spironolactone and eplerenone. They help control blood pressure by blocking a hormone called aldosterone.
Despite the positive findings, though, many doctors still do not prescribe those drugs for heart failure, Vaduganathan said. And there is little evidence on what would happen if patients used all three types of medication.
"The optimal combination really hasn't been studied," Vaduganathan said.
So his team tried to estimate the benefits of taking the newer therapies, together, over many years. To do that, they combed shorter-term data from three large clinical trials that tested the drugs against standard treatment. Then they made some projections: What would happen if patients started on a beta-blocker plus the three-drug classes, instead of an ACE inhibitor or ARB -- and stuck with the regimen for the long haul?
For a 55-year-old, the researchers estimate, that could translate into an extra six years of life, and eight years free of hospitalization for heart failure.
For an 80-year-old, the benefits would be smaller but still important -- an extra year of life, on average, and nearly three extra years out of the hospital.
In an "ideal world," all eligible patients would be on the medications, said Dr. Mary Norine Walsh, past president of the American College of Cardiology.
"But here's the rub," she added. "Two of these drugs [Entresto and Farxiga] are not available as generics."
So, many patients may be unable to afford the pricey medications, even with insurance. Farxiga costs roughly $500 for 30 pills, while Entresto costs about $600 for 60 pills, according to an online search.
Beyond cost, not all patients should be on the drugs. Walsh, who was not involved in the study, stressed that the findings apply only to patients with reduced ejection fraction -- which leaves out half of people with heart failure.
And any one patient, she said, might have other health issues that are contraindicated for a given drug.
"There may be reasons not to take a medication," Walsh said. "But that shouldn't stop patients from asking their doctor questions."
Specifically, she said, patients who are still on an ACE inhibitor or ARB can ask their doctor why they have not been switched to Entresto -- which guidelines say is the preferred choice.
The diabetes drug Farxiga was only just approved for treating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, Vaduganathan noted. So, it's not yet included in treatment guidelines.
The study received no funding, but the researchers report connections to various drug companies that make heart failure medications.

NFL is a sport that is heavily dominated by tall, bulky, and sturdy players. However, players of shorter stature now and then establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with. This listicle will look into the 15 Shortest NFL Players in History.
Shorter players do not have the reach that the taller players inherently enjoy. However, they are fast, agile, and quick off the blocks.

The following list is compiled from one of the most trusted sources, NFL.com.
Before we dive into the brief player profiles, let's have an overview of the 15 Shortest NFL Players in History.
Name Height (in feet and inches)
15. Elvis Dumervil 5'11"
14. Kyler Murray 5'10"
13. Antoine Winfield 5'9″

15. Elvis Dumervil
Position: Defensive End
Starting off our list, Elvis Kool Dumervil is an American former defensive end who played for 12 seasons in the NFL.
While Dumervil stands taller than the average short player on the list, his playstyle was cohesive to his stature.

In addition, Dumervil had a low center of gravity which reverberated throughout his playing career.
He leveraged his shorter build against tall oppositions by bending the edge and tucking in even lower on the ground.
14. Kyler Murray
An American quarterback Kyler Cole Murray currently represents the Arizona Cardinals.

Quarterbacks are often the talk of the town in any team, even more so when the quarterback's height measurement reads 5 feet 10 inches.
While being tall is an advantage for the quarterback position, Murray did not let his height deter him from putting up incredible performances right from the off.
In addition, during his collegiate career, Murray was awarded the Heisman Trophy, an award given to the best player in college football.
13. Antoine Winfield
Position: Cornerback
A former American football pro-Antoine Duane Winfield Sr., played for 14 seasons in the NFL.
Cornerback Antoine Winfield (Source: Pinterest)
Winfield wasn't just famous for going toe-to-toe with the wide receivers – he dominated them.
During his 15 seasons in the NFL, Winfield consistently outdid his opponents, who usually had at least 3 inches and 20 pounds over him.
A relentless tackler, Antoine had a habit of forcing fumbles. Furthermore, to add to his illustrious career, Winfield earned himself 3 Pro Bowl bids.
12. Bob Sanders
Position: Safety
Demond Sanders, or Bob Sanders, is a former professional footballing athlete who played for eight seasons in the NFL.

They say that your output depends on the attitude that you carry along with you. There is no better testament to this statement than Bob Sanders.
Widely known as an aggressive ball-hawk, Sanders took on bigger receivers and knocked them off their cleats.
Likewise, his playstyle featured throwing his body around and, more often than not, recklessly abandoning his safety position.
Despite facing injuries throughout his career, "The Sandman" won the coveted Defensive Player of the Year award in 2007.
Likewise, Sanders also has a Super Bowl ring to his name, winning it in 2006.

11. Jim Leonhard
Moving up the list, James Andrew Leonhard is a former American safety who played for ten seasons in the NFL.
Jim Leonhard (Source: Twitter)
The former NFL pro serves as a defensive coordinator for the Wisconsin Badgers Football Team.
Like the last four letters in his name, Leonhard was famous for his 'H A R D' hitting and lightning-quick closing speeds.
Again, he enjoyed a productive career at safety which would otherwise suit much bigger athletes.
10. Mark McMillian
Mark D. McMillian, also nicknamed Mighty Mouse, is a former American cornerback who played for eight seasons in the NFL.
With the cornerback position stationed to cover the wide receivers, having a more extensive build is almost a prerequisite in the modern era.
Mark McMillian (Source: Pinterest)
However, despite his shorter build, McMillian consistently performed at the highest level during the mid-90s.
Similarly, he came close to leading the league in interceptions one year, recording an impressive eight interceptions during the same period.
9. Wes Welker
Coming in at number 9, Wesley Carter Welker is a former American football pro who played for 11 seasons in the NFL.
The former wide receiver currently serves as a wide receiver coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
While Welker did not have his hands on the elusive Super Bowl ring, he undoubtedly goes down as one of the best players in the league.

Welker was a talented but severely underused player for the first few seasons of his career. However, his fortune changed when he met Tom Brady.
Wes played most of his career with Tom Brady, from which he benefitted greatly. Again, a highly reliable player, Welker went to 5 Pro Bowls and led the league in receiving multiple times during his career.
8. Steve Smith
Stevonne Latrall Smith Sr., or Steve Smith, is a former American footballing athlete who played for 16 seasons in the NFL.

With Smith being the only wide receiver inductee in this list, his accomplishments as a player stand out even more.
Moreover, Smith had made it his reflexive habit of winning contested catches, breaking tackles, and outwitting defenders.
His illustrious career consists of 5 Pro Bowls nods and two first-team All-Pro bids. He also led the league in receiving in 2005.
7. Barry Sanders
Barry Sanders is a former American running back who played for ten seasons in the NFL.

Sanders dazzled the NFL stage with lightning-quick movements and memorable plays throughout his career.
Widely known for his "you blink, you miss" moves, Sanders's glorious career is filled with accolades and deserved recognition.
Despite all the naysayers doubting him because of his height, he made a career in the NFL.
Sanders is a permanent inductee into the NFL Hall of Fame. Similarly, he holds the 4th most rushing yards of all time. Likewise, Sanders featured in 10 Pro Bowls as well.

During his eight seasons in the NFL, MJD became the workhorse runner in the league. MJD had 3 Pro Bowl bids to his name to shed light on his illustrious career.
Furthermore, he rubberstamped his credentials in the NFL with two first-team All-Pro selections.
5. Jacquizz Rodgers
Coming in at number five, Jacquizz "Quiz" Rodgers is a former American running back who played for eight years in the NFL.

The 5 ft. 6 inches athlete was a productive and quick runner in the NFL, carrying a prolific resume under his collegiate career.
Moreover, with an ideal mix of speed, power, and acceleration, Rodgers made a name for himself in the league.
While he never had the elusive Super Bowl ring to his name, he managed to rush over 2,000 yards in his NFL career.
4. Tarik Cohen
Born on July 26, 1995, Tarik Cohen is an American running back representing the Chicago Bears.

Tarik has managed to light up the NFL stage despite his 5 ft 6 inches in his relatively young career in the NFL.
He became the shortest NFL player to throw a touchdown pass in nearly a century.
3. Darren Sproles
Coming in at number 3, Darren Lee Sproles is a former American running back and returns specialist who played in the NFL for 14 seasons.
Sproles currently serves as an Executive and a personnel consultant for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sproles had an incredible 14 seasons in the NFL. Furthermore, loved by all, Sproles became the go-to short guy in the league.

While he may have been short in size, his toughness and concrete competitiveness made him a fierce competitor.
To illustrate just how good he was, he tore defenses apart to the point where he earned himself three Pro Bowl selections and the coveted Super Bowl Ring.
2. Trindon Holliday
Position: Return Specialist
Moving into the top 2, Trindon Jerard Holliday is a former American wide receiver and return specialist who played for five years in the NFL.
Return Specialist Trindon Holliday (Source: Wikipedia)
One of the very few players to measure under 5 ft 6 inches, Holliday is primarily reminisced because of his fierce speed and for being outrageously quick.
Furthermore, he set the record for the longest punt return touchdown in a playoff game.
And if that wasn't enough, he outdid himself in the fourth quarter with another long kickoff return score.
1. Jack Shapiro
Position: Fullback
Topping our list, Jack Emanuel "Soupy" Shapiro was a former American football player who played just one game in the NFL for the Staten Island Stapletons.
Jack Shapiro, the shortest NFL player in History (Source: Wikimedia)
Shapiro is officially recognized as the shortest player to play in the NFL. Moreover, Soupy lined up for the Stapletons in 1929 and played for just one match for them.
However, he stuck around with the Stapletons roster for five matches in total. While he never reached the magnanimous superstar level, he became an inspiration to many.
Undoubtedly, he is the pioneer in breaking the barrier that stood tall against players of shorter build. Jack "Soupy" Shapiro passed away on February 5, 2001.
NFL has and will likely always remain a sport where the tall, sturdy and relentless players dominate.
However, we can never discount the speed, power, and acceleration that the players of the shorter build bring to the game.
The abovementioned players round out our coverage of the 15 Shortest NFL Players in History.

The video of the KNP training is 15 minutes long, so we've summarized the highlights through a series of GIFs below.
1. A trainee practices strafing while alternating fire between a pistol and a submachine gun.
2. Trainees practice disarming, and counter disarming, techniques.
3. A prospective SWAT team works in a pair, coordinating movement and cover fire.
4. A trainee practices a faux surrender.
5. SWAT team members must be ready to respond to all manner of threats, including the sudden appearance of a combatant from behind.
6. Here, a trainee practices handling the recoil from a shotgun, before transitioning to his pistol.
7. In possible crowd situations, accuracy is of critical importance, and marksmanship is given plenty of practice.
8. While in the field, SWAT members must be ready to continue an operation even after a potential injury. Here, a trainee is practicing shooting and reloading one handed.
9. Of course, being able to function while distracted and under stress is one of the most important factors for success in the KNP. Here, instructors attempt to distract a trainee during an accuracy drill.

Go back and read the bolded parts of that quote, those are my replies.
That's how. You complain when people treat the elections like "real politics" and then you talk about policies!
((By "treating iAARs like real politics" I mean "not willing to compromise for the sake of the story". By "policies" I mean "what Tommy wrote in the manifestos". So what I mean is, that I don't agree with what Labour proposes, but I'm considering voting for them just to see how would they fare. If I was treating this iAAR like real politics I would have voted Tory long time ago. Maybe I'm making some lingual mistakes - if so, I apologise, I'm not so good when it comes to speaking in English.))

And I have never said I support the current Labour platform.
Still, seems to be acting in poor faith to, on one hand, be working out some compromise with a party, all while cheering fervently for the election of another. Mind, I note this only because of people such as the member for Belfast South, who seem to think a lasting compromise between Liberals and Labour is workable, while I... in light of such posts as these, find myself increasingly skeptical. Especially after how the Liberals have treated Labour in the past.
Makes sense to me, some. Might as well vote Tories all the same, though, if you feel strongly that the Tory policies are better. Candidly, it would make them a stronger opposition and, should the Liberals choose to knife Labour in the back again, a stronger Tory opposition might make a majority government with the Liberals possible.
"The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. The mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting." (Psalm 103:6-8, 13-14, 17)

The problem with Labour is that you haven't changed your economic policies in a quarter of a century. There's nothing wrong with someone who supports a different economic approach expressing their second preference in terms of governments whilst also, in good faith, negotiating to see if a Labour/Liberal compromise is possible.
ThaHoward
I said that if the Labour government go into a certain direction, and Liberal party, then I would be willing to compromise. As it is I would not be willing to compromise as the policies are static, conservative and un-appealing. If they in the next election change thenselves with a new and improved platform, and have gone into the desired direction, they are of course much more appealing. Currently they are not, but I like the talks of finding a common ground and moving into a different direction. But that may only happen in the future, let it be the next election or in 10 elections, until then I do not wish to cooperate with them under their current platform. Simple as that.

There's a difference between expressing one's differing opinions on economic approaches and cheering for votes for another party
And there's a differnce between disagreeing now, but working towards agreeing in the future. Ergo we're talking about different situations. Just because we might agree in the future, it do not mean that. I have to dogmatically follow your policies just to please you. Just like it doesn't mean you have to support a Lib-Lab government now, or adopt all our policies. Or to openly support and cheer for CPGB because they might turn Europcommie or "Trotskyist" in the future and thus being able to cooperate with Labour.
No, I agree there. But again, actively rooting for the votes of a party not yours... just makes it seem more as if you were a Tory entryist, to be blunt. At the very least, much more Rightist than the centre-left Labour. And as such, I find it unlikely that such a person would ever really cooperate with Labour. But eh, my opinion and observations. And ones I am, mostly, trying to communicate to Van5 about.

I would preffer a Tory government moderated by Liberal party than going back to the system that put us into this mess and reek of conservatism and unwillingess to change and adapt. It is just that simple.
And I have said I would be willing to work with Labour or compromise with them if they adopted certain policies. Just look at the things Tanzhang and van5 proposed, and I said I would agree to such policies.

Fine, but only if there's agreement that loss-making, non-essential service providing industries are definitely to be privatised either by being sold off or mutualised.
Speaking of, I'm genuinely shocked you haven't spoken more about cooperatives and workplace democracy, that is an area where we can definitely reach a good compromise.
I don't think that any social democratic party worthy of the description can endorse definite privatisation of any industry. Just as Heath and Thatcher supported the nationalisation of Rolls-Royce in the seventies and bailed out Leyland in the 1980's, there are some circumstances where the Labour Party would have to commit itself to denationalisation. We cannot however agree to a generalisation which is in violation of the fourth clause of our party's constitution. That would be an affront to our members.
In other words, we can commit to consultation, consultations whereby if there is an agreement that a loss-making industry not performing a critical service like public transport or health should be privatised, then we shall act according to that ruling. I feel however that the Labour Party cannot however actually say that "that loss-making, non-essential service providing industries are definitely to be privatised" - again, such things should be decided on a case by case basis.
In that case we should seek entry and, if entry is possible, then we should hold a referendum on whether we should join.
I feel that a popular mandate from the British people would greatly aid our chances of acceptance and that therefore it should precede any attempts to seek entry. Joining first only to leave as soon as the referendum is held (if that is the result) would be a diplomatic embarrassment to our country and not a policy which should be considered by any serious party of government.
Yes. Income tax cuts will help workers struggling with the cost of living due to wage restraint and price inflation. Furthermore, some form of Land Value Tax has to be implemented as it's a key Liberal policy - that's why I proposed using it to replace business rates. If you don't like that form of it then come up with an alternative.
I am afraid that we may need to keep taxes as is to pay for some of our important spending policies, such as improving infrastructure and the welfare state. In fair weather this is something we may consider, but in the depths of a social crisis we simply cannot talk about tax cuts at the present time if it would mean less money for health, education and modernising our ageing infrastructure - the policies we also need to enact to ensure greater social mobility in the long term.
Odd then that I have consistently argued for it while Labour has said nothing
FWIW I've often agreed with you to a degree in regards to cooperatives as well, I just tend to only say something when I disagree with you.
The further decentralisation of power is a crucial Liberal policy. You can't expect us to go into coalition without concessions of some sort.
I will throw Clause IV back in your face if you insist on negotiating in that tone. I feel that Labour have offered to make considerable concessions just as the Liberals have, and that this should be adequately recognised and respected by our potential Liberal partners.

Well, there's some of us who do not find their exact ideas properly represented and have to resort to entryism. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
Again, to be fair to Rosa, I get the impression she genuinely believes in social justice, human rights and the social market encomony, and would support a party which professes such values and policies in its manifesto.

Well enough. I just find rooting for a party not your own or the party you are seeking to eventually cooperate with to be in good taste. My sincere apologies if any offense was taken, as such was not intended.
Agreed, but I'm unsure, truly, if Tommy will change Labour's policies just because of our dialogue, and from what we've seen this election, I think Rosa holds the social market economy above social justice and human rights, hence her cheering for Tory votes, or so I'd think, and thus my view of Lib-Lab cooperation again is... unlikely. It's less a criticism of Rosa, more an expression of skepticism to Van5.

Given that he practically rewrote the Yellow manifesto to comply with Antonine's expressed views I think it's perfectly possible.
Then again he mentioned that LibLab after this election means that split in Liberal party is highly probable. I, for one, would find it highly unlikely that after Grimond Liberals and Labour would just come to agreement without any tensions whatsover just because you guys are having a nice dialogue.
If we win a minority government, or a majority government with a slender minority then frankly some level of Lib-Lab cooperation will become necessary. Naturally I hope for a Labour government returned with a healthy majority, just as Antonine hopes for a Liberal one.
Citizens of Britain, we need more votes for Tories!
We must prevent the socialists from gaining even more power!
Fight for your liberties, hold onto your purses and choose the Conservative Party!
At least I have a nice picture to work as a counterweight for my stupidly large pieces of text.
Huge text
That's a noble call, but centre-left is openly calling us guilty of the current crisis and is claiming that it has a cure for it. Maybe Labour and their Liberal allies are right? Maybe they are indeed better prepared than Mr. Powell and maybe we should let them do their work? If they would succeed I would indeed be happy, since I care deeply about the future of this country. And if they would not, after their failure people of Britain would see that Tories and our policies are the way towards better future and give us a better mandate to change Britain in the next election.

Q: Validity of the Riemann series theorem A classic example of the Riemann series theorem use the alternating harmonic series $\sum_{n=1}^k \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n}$ that converges to $\ln(2)$ when $k \rightarrow \infty $ and rearrange it to $\sum_{n=1}^k (\frac{1}{2n - 1} - \frac{1}{4n - 2} - \frac{1}{4n})$ that converges to $\frac{1}{2}\ln(2)$ when $k \rightarrow \infty $
But if we strictly compare the terms for those two sum from n=1 to k with $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{4k} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n}$ we found for k=1 :
\begin{array}{l|cccc}
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^4 \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n}
& 1 &  -\frac{1}{2} & +\frac{1}{3} & -\frac{1}{4} \\ \hline
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^1 (\frac{1}{2n - 1} - \frac{1}{4n - 2} - \frac{1}{4n})  & 1 &  -\frac{1}{2} &  & -\frac{1}{4} \\ \hline
\small \text{Term not taken in account} & & & +\frac{1}{3}  \\
\small \text{in the rearranged series}
\end{array}
for k=2 :
\begin{array}{l|cccc}
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^8 \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n}
& 1 &  -\frac{1}{2} & +\frac{1}{3} & -\frac{1}{4} & +\frac{1}{5}& -\frac{1}{6} &  +\frac{1}{7}& -\frac{1}{8} \\ \hline
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^2 (\frac{1}{2n - 1} - \frac{1}{4n - 2} - \frac{1}{4n})  & 1 &  -\frac{1}{2} & +\frac{1}{3} & -\frac{1}{4} & & -\frac{1}{6} &  & -\frac{1}{8} \\ \hline
\small \text{Terms not taken in account} & & & & & +\frac{1}{5} & &  +\frac{1}{7}  \\
\small \text{in the rearranged series}
\end{array}
for k=3 :
\begin{array}{l|cccc}
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{12} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n}
& 1 -\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{5} -\frac{1}{6} &  +\frac{1}{7} & -\frac{1}{8} & +\frac{1}{9} & -\frac{1}{10}&  +\frac{1}{11}& -\frac{1}{12} \\ \hline

\small \text{in the rearranged series}
\end{array}
And so on, with always a number of terms not taken in account in the rearranged series increasing with k, which are the inverses of odds numbers going from $\frac{1}{2k + 1}$ to $\frac{1}{4k-1}$ which is equal to $\sum_{p=k}^{2k-1}\frac{1}{2p+1}$ (thanks to Carlo) which can be approximated by an integral over p equals to $\frac{1}{2}\ln(\frac{4k−1}{2k+1})$ that converges to $\frac{1}{2}\ln(2)$ when $k \rightarrow  \infty $
In short :
\begin{array}{lllll}
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^k (\frac{1}{2n - 1} - \frac{1}{4n - 2} - \frac{1}{4n}) & = & \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{4k} \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{n} & - & \displaystyle \sum_{p=k}^{2k-1}\frac{1}{2p+1}
\\
\small \text{Rearranged series} & = & \small \text{original series} & - & \small \text{Terms not taken in account}
\\
\frac{1}{2}\ln(2) & = & \ln(2) & - & \frac{1}{2}\ln(2)
\end{array}
So the Riemann series theorem is false ?

Project Brief – September 16th 2022
ea_admin
Oil produced in Uganda's Lake Albert region will transit Tanzania through the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) arriving at the coastal port of Tanga where it will then be sold into world markets. Oil production is expected to start in 2025. The legal and commercial framework for EACOP is established in the Host Government Agreements signed on 11th April 2021 and 20th May 2021 between EACOP and the Governments of Uganda and Tanzania respectively. The Host Government Agreements set out the relationship between EACOP and the Host Governments on issues such as land, health, social and safety standards, human rights, local content, fiscal regime, authorisations, and dispute mechanisms.
In Uganda, EACOP is primarily regulated by the Petroleum Authority of Uganda together with NEMA (National Environmental Management Authority). In Tanzania, EACOP is regulated by the Electricity, Water & Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA), together with NEMC (National Environmental Management Council).
In Uganda, the EACOP System will consist of 296 km of pipeline to be constructed and two (2) pumping stations. In Tanzania, the EACOP System will consist of a further 1147 km of pipeline, a storage terminal, four (4) pumping stations and two (2) pressure reduction stations. The pipeline requires a 30m wide right of way, similar to other linear projects such as roads, railways, or power lines. It is important to note that the insulated and protected pipeline will be buried and that following its construction and placement, the topsoil and vegetation will be reinstated, and the land rendered accessible to people and animals.
Once in operation the EACOP System will be monitored by a state-of-the-art fibre-optic cable, able to detect both temperature changes and vibrations along the entire length of the pipeline. This is in addition to a robust leak detection technology system and mainline block valves, all intended to ensure prevention of leakages and/or spillages.
The pipeline route has been designed to minimize environmental and social impacts. Given the linear nature of the pipeline, the majority of the impacts are economic and in both scenarios of physical displacement or economic impact, the Project will compensate or restore the affected in compliance with the Equator Principles and IFC Performance Standards and the laws of Uganda and Tanzania, but some physical displacement (loss of shelter) and economic farmland acquisition is compliant with both the Laws of Tanzania and Uganda and the Performance Standards of the International Finance Corporation.
In Tanzania, there are 9513 Project Affected Persons (PAPs – broadly corresponding to households but also including commercial and government institutions). Of these, 331 PAPs (3.5%) are physically displaced, and these are offered a choice between replacement housing (generally of higher standard than the existing dwelling) or cash compensation. The majority of the physically displaced PAPs have elected for replacement housing, and construction of these
replacement houses is ongoing.
In Uganda there are 3648 PAPs. Of these, 203 (5.5%) are physically displaced and the majority of the physically displaced PAPs have elected for replacement housing, construction of which is ongoing. The basic principles of compensation include treating each PAP with respect and compensating them at full replacement value. Each PAP will sign an individual compensation agreement (currently this process is ongoing and as of 12 September 2022, 4612 out of 9513 PAPs in Tanzania and 2622 out of 3648 PAPs in Uganda have signed their compensation agreements). No land will be accessed by the Project until compensation has been paid and notice to vacate has been issued. Eligible PAPs will also be entitled to transitional food support and have access to livelihood restoration programs. The land acquisition process is expected to be completed in mid-2023.
EACOP, its shareholders and the two Host Governments will ensure the Project is carried out in an exemplary manner in terms of transparency, shared prosperity, and sustainable development, including the environment and respect for human rights.

Anna Korlov was a Finnish girl that lived in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with her mother and soon-to-be stepfather. She was murdered in 1958 and became a bloodthirsty ghost that killed everyone who entered her home. She spared Cas Lowood's life and eventually sacrificed herself to the Obeahman so that he could live. After enduring months of Hell with the Obeahman, Cas rescued her and set her freely into her own heavenly paradise.
Malvina, who was a witch, put a curse on Anna after she killed her. She turned Anna into a monster that would kill every person that entered her home. Within 50 years of being murdered, she killed at least 27 teenagers. Her untold story and many brutal murders made her the legendary spook story of Thunder Bay.
On the first night of school, Cas Lowood, Carmel Jones, and the Trojan Army visited the house. After Cas was knocked out by Mike Andover, Anna floated down the stairs to "greet" her guests. She split Mike in half with ease. Cas came to and struggled to look at the deadly goddess before him. She stared at Cas until Thomas Sabin came to his rescue.
Later, after their first meeting, Cas returns to the mansion and sees Anna, who after conversing for a while turns to a less monstrous form. Hovering in air makes Anna taller than she really is, but Cas guesses that she's about five foot seven. Cas claims that she has soft violet eyes, and a thoughtful face when she appears to him in her sane form. She has dark brown and almost blackish hair that rests calmly at her back. She wears her white dress that is not bloodied. She is beautiful, or so Cas and his friends seem to think.
Anna first appears as a cold-blooded killer, a monster. Though in her monstrous form that sought veangeance for her unjust death, she does have a shred of compassion in her, having had spared Cas' life - though her compassion may be very little in her 'goddess' form for she'd killed Mike without a second thought. Later, when Cas returns to the mansion, he notices how she seemed forlorn and bitter. He also learns of her humane side, indulging him of her company.
Despite her newfound power in death and lingering in the earthen plane, she was capable of terror so great that she was petrified when Mike tried to kill her and hadn't dodged. She does have a guilty conscious, unable to stomach it to stay in the mansion where she had to be reminded of the people she'd killed. She seemed keen on inflicting pain on herself, conjuring images of the people she'd killed.
Anna, after the curse on her was removed, appeared sane. A passive person by nature, she could be aggresive when it concerned the people she cared about as was seen when she'd been furious when Cas was attacked. She was also an adamant and stubborn person, chosing to ignore Cas and sacrifice herself anyway to defeat their enemy.
In life, Anna was also stubborn and strong willed, defying her parents by chosing to go to a school party despite her parents' objections, which in the end led to her death at the hands of her mother who turned out to be a black witch.
As a ghost, Anna was immortal. She is shown to be unsuspectible to physical attacks, for Carmel's baseball bat assault did not harm her in the slightest, but she is suspectible to certain weapons such as Cas' athame. Descended of a family with witches blood in their veins, it is highly possible that Anna's power, which were unnaturally powerful for a ghost, were due to her ancestors. She is easily the strongest ghost in the world - tied with the Obeahman - as Cas remarks.
She has physical strength that far surpasses a mortal, as seen when she easily defeated Cas with a mere flick of the wrist. She could be seen by humans as she implied. She also has the ability to open portals, demonstrated in her battle with the Obeahman and dragging him away into another world.
In life, Anna doesn't seem to posses any witch-like powers.
Anna never got along with her mother. She would wonder why her kind father loved her but Malvina hated her with a firey, bitter passion. Malvina's loyalties lied elsewhere with a dark Finnish demon-god. Elias frightened Anna , but she was careful to hide her fear. He abused her but she couldn't do anything about it. Her mother wouldn't do anything about it. Her only friend in life, it seemed, was Maria, a boarder in her house.
Cas was the first of very few people that Anna managed to spare while in her goddess form. Something about him sent a signal telling her that she didn't need to kill him. Anna and Cas loved each other, and their love grew stronger with every visit and through the very end when she sacrificed herself for him. When Anna was suffering in Hell, Cas saved her and made the toughest decision of his life, choosing to let her go to Heaven instead of bringing her back into the world.
Anna was friends with Carmel and Thomas. They had both encountered her in murder-mode with the intention of saving Cas. Anna was acquainted with Morfran, Cas's mother, and Jestine, all three in situations attempting to save her from the Obeahman.
The Obeahman was the only ghost with power that matched Anna's. They were connected by Cas's athame and fought aginst each other multiple times. He was the only one capable of hurting her. With help from her friends, Anna prevented the Obeahman from gaining her power and using it for himself.


Looking for some 17 Inch Rims for Your BMW?
The number one reason why anyone would consider getting custom rims for their car would be because they look cool and downright spectacular. Apart from this some even help improve the performance of your vehicle, and if that is what you were going for then you will have to make sure you choose the right rims. Even if you do own a car as beautiful as a BMW, there is no reason you couldn't improve upon the look of the vehicle with some new custom rims.
There are so many inimitable and gorgeous choices.
Lightweight aluminum alloy rims are the craze these days and can provide the strength required while offering a number of appealing finishes. Some of the trendy finishes include polished aluminum and chrome. You can even consider getting painted alloys.
The additional strength which alloy wheels offer can help reduce tire deflection noticeably. It also helps prevent tire rollover on the corners. Brake cooling improves when you are using custom wheels too. Heat from your brakes will be dissipated by the large mass of the wheels. Their open design allow for more air to reach your brakes and this helps cool them while you are driving through traffic.
There are a plenitude of excellent rims for your BMW at USARIMS. There are these gorgeous rims with a silver finish available on USARIM which you just won't be able to resist. They will fit perfectly on the 5 series, 6 series, 7 series, M5, and M6. So if you own any of these BMWs and want to get a brand new set of rims, look no further than these.
So what are you waiting for? It's time you added a little color to your brand new BMW.

"This is a clear blueprint for real change in modern schools. A variety of frameworks including PBL, design thinking, making, student leadership, and parent empowerment are illustrated with examples from real schools and stellar advice from educators. Educators on the road to remaking their schools into better learning spaces should take this book with them on the journey."
"There have been many good books on the case for 21st century learning and schools, but only a rare handful on how to engage your stakeholders and community to bring that transformation to your own school or district. Fortunately, education writer and consultant Suzie Boss takes up that challenge and shares the stories of real-world school transformers and school transformations from around the world."
1.. Are we ready for disruption?
2. How will we engage the willing?
3. How do forward-looking school leaders take charge of change?
4. How will we support teachers as they become 21st century educators?

"You won't find a better guide to the numerous and wide-ranging school improvement strategies out there than in All Together Now!"
"In All Together Now, Suzie Boss brings clarity and real-world examples for those seeking inspiration and solutions to build K-12 schools much needed for the twenty-first century. This book puts your finger on the pulse of the best examples of schools that help our students gain the skills to meet future challenges and opportunities."
"Boss surveys the bewildering landscape of school initiatives and helps the reader identify key features they can adopt and adapt to improve their community's schools. She illuminates complex ideas with concrete examples from exemplary schools in the U.S. and abroad. This is a school transformation guide suitable for all stakeholders."
"I love Suzie's new book because it tackles the challenge of how to rally educators, parents, community members, and students around new visions of learning and teaching. Like her previous books, this one is rooted in the concrete strategies and techniques that numerous schools are using to create deeper, more engaging—and, yes, more successful—learning environments for children. If you're a transformational educator or policymaker who is looking for models and exemplars, use this book to learn from some of the most interesting, visionary schools in the world and inspire your own change processes."
This book prompts readers to make their own meaning by considering a series of questions about what and how school should be.. Abundant examples and case studies from the frontlines of school change provide inspiration and ideas you can adopt or adapt for your context. Discussion prompts are included to promote and provoke conversations—both inside and outside school—with everyone who has a stake in student success (including students themselves). Working together, through collaborative inquiry and hard conversations, you will arrive at your best answers for how schools should adapt for your context and your children.
Throughout the book, special features are included to help guide your inquiry.

F1: Feels full support from Daniel Ricciardo McLaren

BAKU – Under pressure, Australian Daniel Ricciardo said on Friday he had spoken to McLaren boss Jack Brown and felt he had the full support of the team in speculation surrounding his Formula One future with former champions.
The 32-year-old moved to McLaren from Renault last season and his contract runs until the end of 2023.
But his struggle to hold on to the Oaking-based team's car continues into the second season, raising questions about whether he will see the length of his contract.
The speculation intensified after Brown confirmed the existence of an exit clause in the Ricardo deal at the same weekend at the Monaco Grand Prix in the Indy 500 two weeks ago, when it was announced that McLaren's Indica team had extended their contract with F1 candidate Pato O'Word.
"Yeah, so, first we talked, we made a catch up," Ricardo told reporters at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
"It is clear that we are moving forward, my contract with the team is clear by the end of next year, I am fully committed.
"My team has full support and we want to do it together," he added.
Ricciardo, the eight-time Grand Prix winner who gave McLaren his first win since the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2012 in Manza, Italy, has scored just two points this season, one of which was in the sprint race at Saturday's Emola.
Fellow Lando Norris, who beat Ricciardo last season and was given a new contract this season extending to the end of 2025, has so far finished a podium and six points from seven races, including Emola 'Spint'.
Ricciardo, who twice finished third in the overall drivers' position when racing for the Red Bull, said he did not read too much into Brown's comments and his confidence was intact.
"I think I'm getting it back. I still know what I can do. I still believe I have it," he said.
"It's not a place for low self-esteem or low self-esteem. I think everything in this game works at such a high level and if something is out of tune it can be effective.
"So it's really up to me to get back to where I'm in perfect harmony with the car and then come back."
