Highland Park High School Texas Trio
Being a Florida resident, prior to the Detroit Lions 31-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday in Northern Florida, I haven't had the chance to watch QB Matthew Stafford perform in person.
After all these games on TV, the boyish looking youngster, made a believer out of me, that as long as he stays healthy, the Detroit Lions "finally" have a Thoroughbred at this position.
After toying with the Jags by amassing 285 yards, a lot of things came to mind about the 24-year old gifted Tampa native.
* How much faster and younger would Stafford have hit the 10,000 (10,233) yard passing mark if he wasn't hampered by injuries earlier in his career? Would he already be second on the team's yardage list without the injury problems? Check my previous blog "Lions Mastery In Florida Continues" to see the team's all-time leaders.
* Would Erik Kramer be amongst one of the all-time leaders in Lions passing yards that Stafford would be trying to surpass, if Detroit had kept him instead of pursuing Scott Mitchell, Dan Marino's backup with the Miami Dolphins? Kramer was the last Lions QB to win a playoff game crushing the Dallas Cowboys 38-6 during the 1991 season.
* As the Lions continue to bolster the offensive line, wide receivers and running backs, would anyone even guess how many yards Stafford will amass when his playing days are over?
* It's inevitable that Stafford and Lions Hall of Fame QB Bobby Layne will be No.1 and No.2 in passing yardage. My advice to the Lions is when they seek Stafford's eventual replacement, instead of scouting college teams, check back to Highland Park High School in University Park Texas, in the Dallas Metro Area, where they both played and draft their next star signal caller. Lions Hall of Fame Halfback/Punter Doak Walker also played at Highland Park High School. Two Hall of Fame Players from one high school with another potentially on the way. Enough said.
* During the Lions post-game press conference, I was impressed with Stafford's attitude about reaching 10,000 yards indicating that he he simply didn't care about reaching that plateau. He was giving credit to the organization and his teammates. After speaking with his teammates in the locker-room, they're impressed as to how he quietly leads by example and has no ego whatsoever. He fits in well with Detroit's Blue Collar approach. During many of his press conferences, Stafford is often seen wearing a Detroit Tigers Baseball Cap. He seems to have fit in and has embraced his new hometown.
* I am still mind boggled that Lions Owner William Clay Ford Sr. gave Stafford a $40 Million signing bonus. But in this day and age, Ford knew that he had to. I'd be curious if Ford included a small piece of stock in Ford Motor Company. I have a feeling that Ford has no regrets especially after Stafford threw for 5,038 yards in 2011 and will shatter every franchise passing record by the conclusion of his career.
* The Red Wings retired Gordie Howe's No.9 and although the NFL doesn't retire many numbers, I have a feeling that when Stafford's career is over, his number will never be worn again. The Lions also retired Layne's No.22 and Walker's No. 37.
* How much more of an exclamation point can you get when there could be three numbers retired in the NFL, on the same team, that all went to one High School, this one Highland Park High School in Texas? I don't know much about the history of Highland Park High School in Michigan, but I have a feeling it doesn't compare to the one in Texas. Other athletes that attended Stafford's alma-mater include: Olympic Gold Medalists David Browning (1952, Diving), Mike Heath (1984, Swimming), Harrison Frazar (Pro Golfer), Kyle Rote Jr. (NASL Soccer), Clayton Kershaw (LA Dodgers) and Chris Young (New York Mets).
In my mind, there will always two questions that remain unanswered. Would the Lions even have Stafford if Joey Harrington had a stable head coaching staff in place like Stafford has with Jim Schwartz?
Would Harrington have fared better with a good offensive coordinator like Scott Linehan?
Harrington's tenure in Detroit saw both spots turn into a revolving doors that led to the unrest and lack of stability in both areas.
But I have a feeling that Lions fans don't care anymore. They just want to see the team improve on their 1-10 post-season mark since 1958 and finally get that gorilla off their back as one of the four teams that haven't reached a Super Bowl.
The only thing that Stafford and Harrington have in common is that Joey is a College Football studio host for Fox Sports on Saturdays while Matthew plays 14 games a year for the NFL on Fox.

Life After Notre Dame
Lions Mastery In Florida Continues
Self Destruction 101


In the first phase of this project we used the GEM (Gravest Empirical Mode) technique in order to create high-resolution salinity data in the upper 700 m of the water column from 1993 to 2012. The method uses the first observed mode between T/S profiles and dynamic height in order to parameterize temporal and spatial high-resolution salinity data as a function of dynamic height from satellite altimetry. Therefore the data derived from this technique has the same resolution as the satellite Aviso product, which is daily data projected onto a 1/4° Cartesian grid from the beginning of the altimetry era, 1993, until 2012. To be able to calculate the GEM, the Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) needs to be dominated by baroclinic signal of the water column and a relationship between temperature and salinity is necessary. That means not all the regions in the ocean are suitable for this technique. At the beginning of the first phase of this project, regions in the North Atlantic were selected by looking where the method was working. We were able to define a total of 7 regions mainly distributed along the pathway of the North Atlantic Current (NAC). We validated the method by using several statistical approaches and by comparison with salinity data from Argo and CTD profiles in order to assess the quality of the satellite derived salinity data. After this careful validation, we had to exclude all data below 700 m of the water column. We used the satellite derived salinity data to reconstruct salinity trends from 1993 to 2012 for each region in the upper 700 m of the water column (Figure 1). Thanks to the collaboration with the WP 2.1 "Atlantic surface freshwater fluxes in the HOAPS satellite climatology", we used the new released of the HOAPS 3.3 climatology to calculate the freshwater fluxes from 1993 to 2012 (Figure 2). The method and validation together with the analysis of the salinity trend over the last 20 years in the North Atlantic are summarized in the paper Stendardo et al., 2016.
Extend the analysis also in the subtropical regions, when and where this is possible. Also we would like to include some of the regions in the North Atlantic that were excluded at the beginning, for example the Northeastern Atlantic or the Labrador and Irminger Seas. In the last two cases we might need to use only observations since SLA in those regions is not dominated by baroclinic signals.
Study the evolution and variability of surface and subsurface structures of fronts, meanders and eddies, calculate salinity content anomalies in eddies, follow salinity anomalies along their pathways and assess the role of the involved processes.
Calculate time series of eddy salinity transports in the upper 700 m, especially into the subpolar western Atlantic and across the Mid Atlantic Ridge into the eastern Atlantic.
Analyse the monthly to multiannual variability in the regional salinity contents, together with freshwater fluxes and involved processes using observations (Argo, CTD, altimeter), models and results from the GECCO2 synthesis (WP 3.1) and from the updated HOAPS climatology (WP 2.1). Calculate content changes and influence of surface freshwater fluxes for the upper 700 m and separately for the mixed layer.

Sampson for CT – Rob Sampson for Senate 2022
CORRECTING THE RECORD
Home » CORRECTING THE RECORD
In recent campaign ads, my opponent has misrepresented my record and tarnished my reputation.
Voters deserve better. I will remain focused on the issues that matter to you and continue fighting for a better, brighter future for our state.
While I appreciate the Star Wars theme, he has it backwards. I am not Senator "Vader." I am on the rebel side fighting the Evil empire.
Here is my response to each of his claims with documentation and facts for each – review and judge for yourself.
CLAIM #1: The only no vote for healthcare for children and infants
SB1004 – passed in 2021. This bill requires insurers to allow children and stepchildren to stay on parents dental and vision insurance until AGE 26. I was not the only no vote. There were also 16 no votes in the House. This is another costly mandate that drives up premiums.
SB377 – did not pass. This bill would have increased the time a policyholder has to report to their insurance company that they have a newborn from 60 to 120 days. This bill would have allowed those who fail to report to avoid premium payments that would fall to every other policyholder to pay.
My opponent may disagree on these two bills but to claim that I voted against healthcare for children and infants is patently false and a clear attempt to damage my reputation. I have supported countless policies to benefit the health of children.
CLAIM #2: The only no vote for mental and behavioral health services for children
SB2 – passed in 2022. This was one of several bills on mental health. This bill was not the primary one. This bill deserved a 'no' vote because it is:
Duplicative – The good policies were already passed in HB5001
Huge bill with 46 sections on task forces, and new spending including loan forgiveness for mental health professional students
It is a "Gotcha Bill" made for campaign mailers.
Lots of mandates on local school districts
restricts school districts on recess
requires local boards to hire a family care coordinator
More "in loco parentis" – parents restricted from KNOWING what is going on with their own kids.
Interferes with parental rights, Is mental health and education issue?
I voted in FAVOR of HB5001 – PA 22-47 AN ACT CONCERNING CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH which included: 988 suicide prevention, License reciprocity, Telehealth services, Truancy intervention, Youth service bureaus, Mental health wellness exams
I also voted FOR HB5500 – PA 22-58 omnibus public health bill
I was also not the only 'no' vote. There were also 17 no votes in the House.
My opponent is attempting to paint a picture that I am against children's mental health by using this isolated vote. There are numerous other votes that prove otherwise.
CLAIM #3: No for access to absentee voting
HB5262 Passed in 2022. This bill redefined the term "illness" as an acceptable reason to vote by absentee so it could be exploited by Democrats, one of many bills that will contribute to less election integrity. I support our current absentee system and want to improve it with signature verification and VOTER ID. The Democrats refuse both. There were many NO votes in both chambers. I am well known to support policy that balances access and integrity in voting.
Please watch my remarks on the Senate Floor here – https://youtu.be/28eOCWwBU38
My opponent can disagree with me on election policy, but it is dishonest to say I oppose absentee voting.
CLAIM #4: No for cash refunds for gift card balances
SB179 Didn't become a law – the bill died on house calendar in 2022 Killed by Speaker of the House. 24 Yes 9 No.
SUMMARY – Under current law, anyone accepting a gift card as payment must give the purchaser cash for the remaining balance on the card after the purchase if the (1) balance is under $3 and (2) purchaser requests it and provides the proof of purchase or a gift receipt for the gift card. This bill would have increased the balance limit from $3 to $5 and eliminated the requirement to provide the proof of purchase or a gift receipt.
CLAIM #5: No for protecting domestic violence victims
SB1091 This was the domestic violence bill from 2021 that I worked on in the Judiciary committee for months. Unfortunately, the majority Democrats spoiled this proposal at the last minute by inserting language requiring landlords to change locks within six hours of tenant's request and not provide keys to others, even if they might be on the lease. The problem with all this is that it makes the landlord an employee of both the tenant and the state – a dangerous proposition. A landlord's obligations are merely what is in the lease. I supported this bill and helped it get passed into law. I cast my no vote after attempting to remove this additional language and debating at length on the floor. They acted in bad faith, and it showed. You can watch my floor speech here – https://youtu.be/fyzlw-t20ZA
I am certain my opponent knows my involvement with this legislation but that didn't stop him from attempting to paint a different picture.
CLAIM #6: Lone no for $25 cap on insulin
HB6003 Passed in 2020. I was not the only NO – 4 no votes in the House.
Price caps don't work despite being implemented many times, e.g., rent control, etc. Ultimately, these restrictions create a short supply and drive prices even higher. Socialist economics do not work.
Also, the Democrats were thoroughly annoyed that President Trump was getting credit for fighting prescription drug prices and they wanted to make a political statement – not good policy.
You can watch my floor speech here – https://youtu.be/uaOXVAm1tO4
This is a rate hike for MOST consumers. The uninsured get no help at all in this bill. In fact, they pay more.
I have helped pass numerous policies to fight rising prescription prices. I even predicted this would be used unfairly by Democrats in a campaign attack ad.
CLAIM #7: No for paid family leave
SB1 Passed in 2019 – 21 to 15 in the senate, 79 to 69 in the House
Of course, I voted NO. This is bad policy, not a freedom like my opponent claims.
This is new required tax on your paycheck, even for some who cannot use the program.
Competes with private insurance industry, I wrote the GOP amendment to fix this and instead work with existing carriers. The Democrats rejected my proposal in favor of socialism and big government waste.
This policy has undermined the disability insurance marketplace and hurt thousands of people.
Waste and fraud are rampant.
You can watch my remarks in committee here – https://youtu.be/cWg8EaMai98 and on the senate floor here – https://youtu.be/JfMKIgOkS4w
My opponent gets credit for not fibbing on this one, but he should reconsider his support for this bad policy.
CLAIM #8: No for women's reproductive freedom
HB5414 Passed in 2022. This was a party line vote.
The bill did not make any measurable change to abortion rights (let alone "reproductive freedom.") The bill was wholly political, partly about refuting the TX law which CT cannot control which will be decided by the courts. The bill also allows APRN's to perform abortions.
My opponent is using a vote loosely related to abortion rights to make a statement about my position on abortion. He didn't need to do that. I am personally Pro-Life and happy to say so. However, I have only tried to pass two common sense laws in our state. 1) Put an end to late term / 3rd trimester abortions, and 2) require parental notification for minors. This is necessary to prevent abusers and rapists from escaping justice.
CLAIM #9: The only no for mothers who are breastfeeding
HB5158 Passed in 2021. Again, I was not the only no vote. There were also 10 no votes in the House.
This bill does not prevent breastfeeding. This is a mandate on employers requiring them to provide a space, an outlet, and a refrigerator to employees who are breastfeeding. This bill is unnecessary. There is no problem that is being addressed. There are no complaints on file. The law already existed, and it has no penalty. This is a wholly political bill designed for use during elections as a gotcha bill against the few principled Republicans who opposed it. Watch my remarks on the floor here – https://youtu.be/e2X2BtkOfdQ
My opponent again stretches the truth to falsely damage my reputation.
CLAIM #10: No for raising the minimum wage to $15
HB5004 Passed in 2019. This was a party line vote. I led the fight against it on the senate floor as the Ranking Republican on the Labor committee. This is a ban on jobs that pay less than $15 per hour. History shows us that entry level employees are hurt by this. They do not benefit. The result is less job opportunities, less business, a stifled economy, and higher inflation. I encourage anyone who favors a high minimum wage to watch my remarks here – https://youtu.be/h2wL1CBWW9g
My opponent's claim is accurate, but he has the wrong position on this policy.
CLAIM #11: The only no for police officers to express their religion on duty
SB133 Passed in 2022. I was indeed the only no vote in either chamber. I stand by it. Police officers need to wear a uniform, not promote a political or religious ideology while on duty. I am disappointed that the many other members who knew this was wrong were scared to say no.
My opponent misrepresents my vote requiring police officers to remain in uniform instead of religious clothing and headgear to imply that I am infringing on their religious freedom. This is a clear attempt to distort my record.
CLAIM #12: The only no to make Juneteenth a holiday
SB350 Passed in 2022. I was not the only no vote. There was another no vote in the House. This is a completely dishonest interpretation. This bill did not make Juneteenth a holiday. It was already a national holiday. This bill made it a paid holiday for state employees. You can watch my remarks here – https://youtu.be/m3g5-54CcfA
My opponent again distorts my position to create a false image of my record.
CLAIM #13: The only no for small business childcare incentives
SB408 – passed in 2022. I was indeed the only no vote, but this bill was just a study (at taxpayer expense) on the issue, and not any new policy or program.
My opponent knows this was just a study and not an actual policy but that didn't stop him from claiming I am against small business childcare incentives.
CLAIM #14: No for affordable healthcare
SB416 Did not Pass. This bill interferes with private contracts between insurance companies and providers. There were 4 no votes in the Senate. The bill died on the house calendar. Apparently, not everyone that it was a good idea. The Democrat Speaker of the House is more responsible for it not passing than anyone. It's not the role of government to stick their nose into private contracts.
My opponent makes the ridiculous claim that I am against "affordable healthcare" based on a vote on a bill that did not become law, and that is more likely to raise premiums than lower them.
Out of thousands of votes, these are the items my opponent chose as proof that I am a "radical extremist" and clearly felt he still needed to spin them to his advantage. I would prefer to share my positions on the issues that truly matter to you today, now, this election cycle, as well as solutions to problems and plans for a new and better direction for Connecticut. I promise to do so going forward.

У́уе-Ка́рістеська сільська рада (, ) — сільська рада в Естонській РСР, адміністративно-територіальна одиниця в складі повіту Вільяндімаа (1945—1950) та Аб'яського району (1950—1954).

Історія
13 вересня 1945 року на території волості Рімму у Вільяндіському повіті утворена Ууе-Карістеська сільська рада з центром у селі Карісте. Територія сільради збігалася з волостю Ууе-Карісте, що існувала впродовж 1866—1939 років.

26 вересня 1950 року, після скасування в Естонській РСР повітового та волосного поділу, сільська рада ввійшла до складу новоутвореного Аб'яського сільського району.

20 березня 1954 року відбулася зміна кордонів між районами Естонської РСР, зокрема з Ууе-Карістеської сільради виключені 40,31 га земель колгоспу імені Йоганнеса Вареса і приєднані до Парастумаської сільської ради Вільяндіського району.

17 червня 1954 року в процесі укрупнення сільських рад Естонської РСР Ууе-Карістеська сільська рада ліквідована. Її територія склала північно-західну частину Галлістеської сільської ради.

Make your own video message to Al Gore asking him to talk openly about the harmful role of animal agriculture in climate change.
Sign the Operation Missing Link petition.
Join the Operation Missing Link Facebook page.
Tell your like minded friends about Operation Missing Link and ask them to participate.
Watch other peoples' videos. Getting views will help get the project publicity.
Tweet about Operation Missing Link (Use hashtag #Op_ML).
Share your favorite videos and photos with friends and family.
Share your video and/or photo on our Facebook page.
Share your ideas on how we can make Operation Missing Link bigger and better.
The simplest thing one can do to support Operation Missing Link is to sign the online petition found at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/al-gore-animal-agriculture-and-climate-change/.
We are also asking people all over the world to create short videos, petitioning Mr. Gore to start openly talking about the part our insatiable appetite for animal products is playing in the destruction of our planet.
If you are unable to make a video, please consider submitting a photo petition. Very simply, a photo petition is a picture of you holding up a sign that reads your message to Al Gore. To view examples, please visit Op_ML Photo Petitions.
If we get enough people to participate perhaps we can get Mr. Gore to start seriously addressing animal farming sources of climate change and how people can stop or slow down climate change by eliminating or reducing their consumption of animal products.
The secondary goal of Operation Missing Link is to raise media's attention on this matter. Video petitions are uncommon and if we were to be successful in our efforts to gather a sufficient number of videos, we will get the media's attention, who will be able to use selected clips for their news segments about Operation Missing Link. This way, we will be able to get our message about animal agriculture's harmful effect on the environment to an even larger audience.
Operation Missing Link is not about criticizing Mr. Gore. It is not about getting him to stop eating animals.
Operation Missing Link is about getting Mr. Gore to include the role of farm animals in climate change in his lectures and writings. As an authority figure, people listen to him. If he were to say that we can greatly reduce our environmental impact by eliminating or reducing our consumption of animal products, people will pay attention and, hopefully, they will act.
It is easy to be cynical and think nothing will come of Operation Missing Link. But we won't know if we don't try.
Everyone who cares about climate change and/or animal rights.


Abstract: If dark matter is embedded in a non-trivial dark sector, it may annihilate and decay to lighter dark-sector states which subsequently decay to the Standard Model. Such scenarios - with annihilation followed by cascading dark-sector decays - can explain the apparent excess GeV gamma-rays identified in the central Milky Way, while evading bounds from dark matter direct detection experiments. Each 'step' in the cascade will modify the observable signatures of dark matter annihilation and decay, shifting the resulting photons and other final state particles to lower energies and broadening their spectra. We explore, in a model-independent way, the effect of multi-step dark-sector cascades on the preferred regions of parameter space to explain the GeV excess. We find that the broadening effects of multi-step cascades can admit final states dominated by particles that would usually produce too sharply peaked photon spectra; in general, if the cascades are hierarchical (each particle decays to substantially lighter particles), the preferred mass range for the dark matter is in all cases 20-150 GeV. Decay chains that have nearly-degenerate steps, where the products are close to half the mass of the progenitor, can admit much higher DM masses. We map out the region of mass/cross-section parameter space where cascades (degenerate, hierarchical or a combination) can fit the signal, for a range of final states. In the current work, we study multi-step cascades in the context of explaining the GeV excess, but many aspects of our results are general and can be extended to other applications.

US Is Racing Toward The Precipice, While The World Is Trying To Save Itself
July 2, 2017 July 2, 2017 Editor News Leave a comment
RT – July 1, 2017: The minimum wage should be $20 an hour, "neoliberalism is tyranny" and the Republican Party is "dedicated to destroying human life," renowned academic and activist Noam Chomsky told RT in an extended interview.
"We are headed toward a cliff and the worst cliff we are headed toward is due to market systems," the linguist and philosopher said to the "On Contact" host Chris Hedges during a sit-down talk at MIT, where Chomsky, 88, continues to serve as Emeritus Professor.
Hedges, himself a professor, and Chomsky traced back the history of applied neoliberalism from its late 1970s origins on both, the left and the right, to the era of Donald Trump.
"The neoliberal shift moved decisions from the public arena to the market," said Chomsky, whose book on the topic, "Requiem for the American Dream," came out earlier this year. "The ideology claims it's increasing freedom, it's in fact increasing tyranny."
Putting the interest of capital – and specifically transnational corporations and financial institutions – above that of the people, has created a "democratic reduction"and a "stagnation or decline of wages, for the majority,"said Chomsky, who advocates better wage distribution, and has called himself a socialist.
"Neoliberalism has been putting the working people of the world in competition with each other, but allowing freedom of capital, and in fact a high degree of protection for capital. So, for example, intellectual property rights are a huge tax on the population," said Chomsky, who noted Microsoft's stranglehold on tech patents, and Apple's tax avoidance schemes as means of depriving ordinary people.
Chomsky, who co-authored the prominent 1992 media study Manufacturing Consent, said that these changes have been pinned by "indoctrination" with opponents marginalized and even dismissed as "anti-American."
"Aside from the US, I don't know any other non-totalitarian, non-authoritarian country where the concept even exists. That's a very striking concept. If you're critical of policy – you're anti-American," said Chomsky.
"The position of the savage wing of American capitalism, the Republican Party, is really striking, they are really racing toward a precipice. Has there really been an organization in history that has dedicated itself to the destruction of human life?"said Chomsky, who has been a constant critic of Trump. "The US is racing toward the precipice, while the world is trying to do something." Link: Read Complete Article

Sudden cardiac death, called SCD, is death caused by an abrupt loss of heart function. SCD occurs quickly and unexpectedly. Death results immediately or shortly after symptoms occur.
According to the American Heart Association, SCD causes 225,000 deaths in the United States each year. About half of all deaths from coronary heart disease are sudden and unexpected.
SCD may occur in people who have or have not been diagnosed with heart disease. However, underlying heart disease is almost always found in people who die of SCD. In fact, 9 out of every 10 people who die of SCD have narrowing caused by atherosclerosis in two or more of the three major coronary arteries.
Heart muscle scar tissue from previous heart attacks is present in two out of every three people who die from SCD.


First Time To Crossbridge Kids? You will be welcomed into a friendly, casual environment by volunteers who are happy to see you and your family. Plan to arrive 15 minutes before the service begins. When parking in the east parking lot, enter the breezeway and look for the Crossbridge Kids Check-In station. We will complete your registration and one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age appropriate classroom.
We will ask for your information, and that of your child, so that parent/child security tags can be issued to you. Your child will need to wear the name tag received at check in, while you keep the matching tag. After the service, you will return to your child's room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.
Crossbridge Kids is our ministry to children ages birth through 5th grade. While adults are in the worship service, kids come together for a fun, activity-filled hour centered around teachings from the most amazing book ever written – the Bible. Our hope is to partner with parents in laying foundations for faith by creating environments, curriculum, and resources that center on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In our nursery and preschool environments, we sing, tell stories from the Bible, and participate in activities relating to a Bible truth. While having fun in each activity area, teachers and kids have time to talk about how to live out the truth they have just learned.
In our elementary environments, kids experience Biblical truth come to life through activities, crafts, games, application oriented discussions and creative video teaching. We show them how the Bible lesson is relevant in their day-to-day lives and help them apply the truth when navigating situations at home, at school, and in their friendships.
In our preteen environment, we celebrate the changes kids will experience as they transition from concrete to abstract thinking. We encourage them to form accountable friendships with their peers and leaders while experiencing life applicable Bible study to prepare them for the teenage years just ahead.


The effect of prior walking on coronary heart disease risk markers in South Asian and European men.
Purpose: Heart disease risk is elevated in South Asians possibly due to impaired postprandial metabolism. Running has been shown to induce greater reductions in postprandial lipaemia in South Asian than European men but the effect of walking in South Asians is unknown. Methods: Fifteen South Asian and 14 White European men aged 19-30 years completed two, 2-d trials in a randomised crossover design. On day 1, participants rested (control) or walked for 60 min at approximately 50% maximum oxygen uptake (exercise). On day 2, participants rested and consumed two high fat meals over a 9h period during which 14 venous blood samples were collected. Results: South Asians exhibited higher postprandial triacylglycerol (geometric mean (95% confidence interval) 2.29(1.82 to 2.89) vs. 1.54(1.21 to 1.96) mmol·L-1·hr-1), glucose (5.49(5.21 to 5.79) vs. 5.05(4.78 to 5.33) mmol·L-1·hr-1), insulin (32.9(25.7 to 42.1) vs. 18.3(14.2 to 23.7) µU·mL-1·hr-1) and interleukin-6 (2.44(1.61 to 3.67) vs. 1.04(0.68 to 1.59) pg·mL-1·hr-1) than Europeans (all ES ≥ 0.72, P≤0.03). Between-group differences in triacylglycerol, glucose and insulin were not significant after controlling for age and percentage body fat. Walking reduced postprandial triacylglycerol (1.79(1.52 to 2.12) vs. 1.97(1.67 to 2.33) mmol·L-1·hr-1) and insulin (21.0(17.0 to 26.0) vs. 28.7(23.2 to 35.4) µU·mL-1·hr-1) (all ES ≥ 0.23. P≤0.01), but group differences were not significant. Conclusions: Healthy South Asians exhibited impaired postprandial metabolism compared with White Europeans, but these differences were diminished after controlling for potential confounders. The small-moderate reduction in postprandial triacylglycerol and insulin after brisk walking was not different between the ethnicities.

Latest confirmed cases of COVID-19 (27th March 2020)
by webmaster@3dsilverfog.co.za
Today, South Africa has 1170 confirmed cases. This is an increase of 243 new cases from yesterday's announcement.
The total number of tests conducted to date is 28 537.
REPORTED DEATHS:
This morning we reported that two deaths had occurred as a result of the COVID-19 virus.
The first patient was a 48 year old female who tested positive for COVID-19 on the 23rd March 2020. She was suffering from pulmonary embolism. This means she had an underlying disease.
The second patient who died was a suspected case based on her clinical presentation. The clinicians who were treating her have reported to us that this was a 28 year old female who had presented at the hospital in respiratory distress. At the time of presentation she was hypoxic. She was intubated and transferred to hospital during the early hours of this morning, (ie 27 March 2020 at 3am). On arrival in ICU, she was declared dead.
The clinical picture was suggestive of COVID-19 and therefore a test was conducted. Her laboratory results have since been received at 17:20 and were confirmed negative. Her immediate family was also tested and they are also negative. She is therefore no longer considered a COVID-19 case.
This therefore means there is only one confirmed death caused by COVID-19 in South Africa. I have been informed that the health workers that managed this patient have been debriefed and counselled. I am aware that the public interest around COVID-19 may end up making them feel like they did not perform their duties with outmost care. As a clinician myself, I want reassure them that making such a diagnosis on presentation is line with our plea to them to keep a high index of suspicion so as not to miss a diagnosis of COVID-19. This is common practice, medical doctors often make a diagnosis based on a clinical presentation and physical examination of a patient. They then conduct further tests to confirm or disprove the diagnosis.
In this instance, doctors and all health workers involved exercised clinical judgment and took extra precaution in managing this patient. We support this approach. I therefore want to acknowledge and appreciate all our doctors, nurses and all the health workers who were treating these patients. We salute them for their dedication in the service of the nation. We urge them to remain courageous and focused. We also want to assure all our health workers in the country, who remain in the frontline of this pandemic, as the Department of Health and government as a whole, we will do everything in our powers to provide the support required for them to execute their duties. Overwhelming as circumstances may be, we ask you to keep up the fight. This is only the beginning and your commitment assures us that we will overcome.
COUNTRY SYNOPSIS:
To give a synopsis of what is currently occurring in the country in relation to confirmed COVID-19 patients:
– Total number of patients in hospitals (both public and private) : 55
– Total number of patients in ICU : 4
– Total number of patients in ventilation : 3
– Total number of recoveries : 31
– Contacts of the patients that have been identified : 4407
– Contacts of the patients that have been traced : 3465
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS WE HAVE MADE THAT ARE OF CONCERN:
1. The infection of people with underlying concomitant diseases is increasing. This is well illustrated by the COVID-19 patient that has passed away in the Western Cape. We therefore urge our citizens to be vigilant, protect themselves and not unnecessarily expose themselves by making contact with a lot of people. It is important to remain in your home, create a distance between yourself and anyone, including family members, that are unwell.
These are some of the underlying medical diseases that make people vulnerable:
– HIV Positive people with a low CD4 count: This therefore emphasises the importance everyone to know their status, get tested and immediately start treatment should they test positive.
– Chronic Lung Diseases, including TB, Asthma and COPD
– Auto Immune Diseases of Any Kind
– Chronic Kidney Diseases
– Cancer
– Diabetes
2. Other population groups that are vulnerable are:
– Smokers & dependant alcohol consumers. We encourage smokers to quit smoking and for those who drink alcohol, to do so moderately.
3. The elderly population in our society is vulnerable. To illustrate this, in KwaZulu-Natal, one of the confirmed cases is an 81 year old female who is now in ICU and in a ventilator. She initially presented with pneumonia and was admitted and treated as such. Because of the severity of the pneumonia, she was tested for COVID-19 and was confirmed. This elderly woman lives in an old age home. As a result, all other elderly people from this old age home are regarded as being vulnerable and are being tested. Those who will test positive will then be put in isolation.
4. There is an increase in the rate of internal transmissions. Patients without a history of travelling abroad have been detected in many provinces. The Free State province is such an example. The majority of 61 patients infected arose from the church conference which had five international visitors who subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. Amongst these, were various local church leaders who have since tested positive for COVID 19, thus making their own church members direct contacts. These church members have had to be screened and tested. The church leaders and members who were tested have since been put in quarantine.
It must be noted that these confirmed cases in the Free State province are concentrated in Mangaung and this requires dedicated focus of interventions.
All the above factors have emphasised the need to rapidly expand testing, early detection and early treatment. We are intensifying the offensive.
5. TESTING FACILITIES & BACKLOG IN PROCESSING TESTS:
We are aware that there is a significant backlog especially from some private laboratories due to pressure caused by the increasing workload.
We are pleased that the National Health Laboratory Services has increased its testing facilities. There are five laboratories in our academic hospitals in the country. These are in Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital, Charlotte Maxeke, Universitas, Tygerberg and Groote Schuur, in addition to the laboratory at the NICD, which is the reference laboratory. We are now extending them to Tshwane Academic, Walter Sisulu and Port Elizabeth.
We have 7 mobile testing laboratories and in April we will have a total of 47 which will spread all over the country. By the end of April, we will be able to do 30 000 tests per day if required and we continue to source suppliers of test kits from different suppliers so that we can meet the demand.
WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION INFORMATION SHARING MEETING WITH MINISTERS OF HEALTH
This afternoon, the WHO hosted an information sharing virtual meeting with Ministers of Health from all over the world. This follows the G20 leaders virtual meeting that His Excellency, President MC Ramaphosa attended yesterday with other world leaders. Various informative presentations were conducted by the WHO and different countries. A series of questions that we had as Health Ministers were also responded to. It is clear that this pandemic is a major threat to all countries and we must join our hands together to fight it.
One of the important factors confirmed in this meeting is that there is no proven therapy for COVID-19. At this stage, there is ongoing therapeutic research and vaccine trials at different stages of progress. There are 50 different candidates of vaccines that are in their early stages. The WHO estimated that it may take a minimum of 18 months to have a vaccine that is confirmed. South African institutions are also participating in the global research program in search of a solution to the COVID-19, under the guidance of WHO.

I wasn't expecting a new track / MV from them this soon. I'm NOT complaining. And we got it because the fandom is ON POINT.
LOOΠΔ 1/3 released a retro-style music video titled "Rain 51db" in celebration of their "Sonatime" MV reaching 300,000 views as promised.


In a couple of month I gonna be in Cologne to show some photos. I'll exhibit with "Künstler ohne Grenzen" during the KalkKunst event opening September 18th.
I'm working on a concept connected to "childhood – now" with digital photomontage.
Half of my life I lived in Cologne, Germany before I moved to Oslo, Norway back in 1994. I'm working on creating some photos connecting my life now with childhood memories.
Today I had to go to the city center. I use to avoid that on Saturdays since it use to be crowded. I had to run some errands, and when I was done I used the opportunity to go for a walk.
I walked out to a part of the city where they still are building the new part called Sørenga and found a nice little coffee bar there. Really relaxing to walk in the sun. Of course I didn't manage to do half of what I'd plan to do at home….
On day 100 of my personal "words of wisdom" challenge I said that I would give away some artwork to those who comment on the Day 100 post.
Back in 2010 i published the book "Far away – yet close". "Far away – yet close" was in a way the closure of a personal process where I got to know my artistically expression. Is a book with photos and poems in three languages.

Home Latest News Covid vaccination hub now open for all eligible groups
Covid vaccination hub now open for all eligible groups
A view of the exit of the Covid vaccination centre at the Shakespeare Barn. Picture: Ian Burt
King's Lynn's Shakespeare Barn Covid vaccination centre this week opened for walk-ins for all eligible jab groups.
Dr David Vickers, medical director, Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust, which delivers the large scale vaccination centres across Norfolk, said: "This includes those aged 40 to 49 who recently became eligible for a booster six months after their second dose, and 16 to 17-year-olds not in at risk groups who can now access a second dose 12 weeks after their first dose.
"Anyone who would prefer a booked appointment can continue to book these via the National Booking Service at www.nhs.uk/covidvaccine."
The centre, off King Street, opened from Monday to all age groups. It is open seven days a week.
Cath Byford, chief nurse, NHS Norfolk and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "It's great news that these vaccination centres are opening up to all eligible cohorts on a walk-in basis.
"The vast majority of those being hospitalised with serious illness from COVID-19 are those who have not been vaccinated.
"We strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to arrange their vaccine or booster dose now.
"Vaccines are the best way to protect yourselves and your loved ones and reducing Covid-related hospital admissions will help the NHS cope better during the winter months and reduce disruption to routine and planned care."
Further information on walk-in vaccination services is available at https://apps.norfolk.gov.uk/WalkIn/Form/SiteList
Data has shown more than 280,000 people have now had a booster – this equates to around 67 per cent of those eligible in Norfolk and Waveney. The area has been ranked 10th and 9th for first and second doses respectively out of 42 health and care systems in England, an NHS spokesman said.

It's been a hell of a ride, but as they say, all good things must come to an end. The journey so far has completely uprooted everything that I believed about the characters of Gotham City, flipped me back and forth and landed, in many ways, back where we started before issue one.
So, to the story. Gotham is in the grip of Neo-Joker, the former jilted lover and second Harley Quinn to the original Joker. She has taken control of Gotham's rogues and held the city hostage in order to finally restore her lost love hidden in Jack Napier's head. In order to save the city, Napier and the G.C.P.D. have had to resort to asking for the help of the newly incarcerated Batman. Issue seven ended with a heart to heart between Bats and Jack where we see that the Joker has finally returned.
The action is all-out this issue – almost completely from start to finish is a collection of panels that wouldn't feel out of place in a Hollywood blockbuster – while at the same time tying up all the loose ends of promised confrontations strewn throughout the arc. Batman vs Joker, Joker vs Neo-Joker, Harley vs Harley. It certainly does not disappoint, and neither does the plethora of classic Batmobiles catering to the nostalgic Bat-fan in all of us. And, after the smoke from explosive Batarangs has cleared, Murphy supplies us with all the answers we've been begging for, delivering a truly melancholic denouement.
I walked away from the issue feeling conflicted. In many ways the status quo has been restored to the world I thought I knew, but at the same time there are so many events that will shape this world and how I view the characters every time I see them from now on. It seems that this was a love story all along, of Jack and Harleen, hidden amongst the themes of self-discovery and false hero worship.
Tying it all together was one unsuspecting figure. Someone who, for many, is just a one-dimensional pretty face in the background. Dr Harleen Quinzel. Murphy has gone back to the roots of the character and shown her in a way that only her creator Paul Dini had really done previously. He has reminded us of the conflicted psyche of a psychologist who fell in love with the human hidden under the madness, and shown us that all of this has been about trying to save that man and the city he loves.
And in that revelation, we're left with a new problem. What is Batman's place in this new world? Well that's something he asks himself, and one we'll find out about when White Knight returns at some point in the hopefully near future.


In early February, Mullah Abdul Rauf, a Guantanamo Bay detainee-turned-Taliban commander-turned-ISIS commander was killed, His successor, Hafiz Waheed, died a month later. Both were killed from the sky, according to the NDS.
Funny how, when these top men were Taliban or TTP supporters, both Pakistan and Afghanistan couldn't find them. Now, Afghanistan's intelligence service now seems to be racking up some significant wins — with American support, of course.
Why? Because the Taliban and regional nations (even Iran) all profit from smiting ISIS in south Asia. The U.S. doesn't like ISIS for obvious reasons. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran do not want another suicide bomb-happy, transnational terror group near or operating within its borders.
More importantly, the Taliban doesn't want other political competitors jockeying for power in their turf. The groups has criticized ISIS publicly as well as attacked them directly. Even al Qaeda has an intense dislike for ISIS. Thus, it creates a situation where mortal enemies *might* be willing to work together to squeeze the violent psychopaths at their doorstep. It's a win-win-win for everyone.
Again, this is speculation. But if the U.S. is willing, albeit indirectly, with other adversaries with American blood on their hands in Iraq, why wouldn't we exploit intelligence from some terribly unsavory characters in Afghanistan to strike even nastier characters? Remember, the Taliban has no particular desire to export its particular brand of government to the West, which might make them slightly more tolerable than the new killers on the block.

MIRI on the right tracks at NASA Johnson

Leicester scientists and engineers contribute to success
Issued on 20 November
UK scientists and engineers – including colleagues from Leicester -are celebrating following the confirmation that their instrument has performed very well during the cryogenic testing for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at NASA Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston, Texas. This is where the Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has been put through its paces under the watchful eye of the consortium team drawn from the European and US institutes who have been taking care of MIRI 24 hours a day over the last four months.
The tests have taken place in the world renowned Chamber A, famously used in the Apollo moon missions. For these tests the environment of the chamber simulates the extreme space environment in which the telescope will eventually operate.
One of the first tests that MIRI underwent was the cold function tests. The instrument was cooled down to its operational temperature of 6 Kelvin (-267 C). These tests were aimed at verifying that MIRI was still in good working order and that everything was operating as it should following the trip from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (near Washington) to Johnson earlier in the year. Results confirmed that there have been no changes since the last cold function tests the previous year, which is good news for the team.
A major and significant part of the campaign for MIRI has been the 'end –to end' tests so called because it includes both the flight instruments and the telescope optics. The primary aim of these tests was to trial the technique that will be used to align the chain of mirrors which make up the telescope once in orbit and checking the focus and alignment of MIRI.
MIRI Instrument Scientist Alistair Glasse from STFC's UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UK ATC) explains more about these tests 'We have data that has been taken using MIRI's medium resolution spectrometer (or MRS). We can see from the data that it shows an example of the spectral cubes which will allow MIRI MRS to simultaneously measure the spectra of astronomical sources at all points in an image with unprecedented sensitivity.
'The artificial targets shown in the image are approximately the same angular size as Neptune, with a single exposure sampling the image at 2000 wavelength points across the planetary disk all at the same time. Following the test campaign we know that MIRI is working well, which is the news that we wanted to hear.'
Professor Gillian Wright, MIRI European Principal Investigator said 'The MIRI team have worked tirelessly throughout the test campaign and we are extremely pleased by the indications that MIRI is performing as it should, we look forward to seeing JWST again once the chamber is opened in the next few weeks. We should not forget that this test campaign has taken place in extremely difficult conditions because of the devastation that Hurricane Harvey inflicted on the area over the summer. Due to the fact that there was a good hurricane contingency plan put in place before the cryogenic tests started, the tests were able to continue with minor disruption. This was due to the dedication of those working at the facility and at other institutes around the World. Indeed, we had team members working around the clock in the UK simultaneously to help ensure that the testing remained on track. We were very mindful that people in the area local to Johnson had lost their homes and livelihood as a result of the hurricane and our thoughts were with them'.
Chris Castelli, Director for Programmes at the UK Space Agency, said 'The UK Space Agency has been funding the work to integrate and test MIRI since the instrument was delivered to NASA in 2012. This has been a team effort across Europe, led by the UK, and we're delighted to see it performing so well in these tests, which have put some of the greatest spacecraft in history through their paces.'
The enormous chamber door will open sometime in the next few weeks and JWST will be visible again.
Dr Tuomo Tikkanen, researcher in the University's Space Research Centre and Department of Physics and Astronomy, has been working in the MIRI team since 2008, and was part of the team at Johnson Space Center. He said: "It was a great experience to be in Houston and helping to test JWST and MIRI, alongside colleagues from the rest of Europe, NASA and ESA. The conditions were difficult at times, due to Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath."
Dr John Pye, Manager of the University's Space Research Centre, and lead staff member for the JWST-MIRI project at the University, added: "Everyone involved in the testing in Houston showed great commitment and stamina in ensuring the the tests were successfully completed. We are now looking forward to the final phases of the spacecraft build and test programme over the coming year, and the planned launch in Spring of 2019."
Keep track of this by watching the live Webb telescope web cam. (https://jwst.nasa.gov/webcam.html).
The UK contribution to MIRI is funded by The UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency (ESA)
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
The James Webb Space Telescope is an infrared observatory, scheduled for launch mid 2019. JWST, which is a joint collaboration between ESA, NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will consist of a passively cooled 6.55m aperture telescope, a suite of infrared cameras and a range of other astronomical instruments.
JWST will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy. JWST will peer through dusty clouds to see stars forming planetary systems, connecting the Milky Way to our own Solar System. JWST's instruments will be designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range.
The Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) - MIRI is an infrared camera and spectrometer and will operate between wavelengths of 5 to 27 microns, a region which is difficult to observe from the ground. The instrument has several unique advantages; its location in space will remove the blocking and large background noise effects of the atmosphere which limit ground-based telescopes. JWST can be cooled to a very low temperature; this reduces the emission from the telescope and therefore greatly improves its sensitivity. JWST will have a much larger mirror than any other infrared space telescope, giving improved angular resolution.
MIRI was developed in a collaborative effort between scientists and engineers from ten European countries, led by the UK and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), with the support of ESA and NASA. The UK team is made up of a partnership between the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) UK Astronomy Technology Centre and RAL Space facilities, the University of Leicester and Airbus Defence and Space with funding from the UK Space Agency and ESA.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council is keeping the UK at the forefront of international science and tackling some of the most significant challenges facing society such as meeting our future energy needs, monitoring and understanding climate change, and global security. The Council has a broad science portfolio including supporting UK work in space and ground-based astronomy technologies and research.

In design lighting we offer David Pompa, Zero Lighting
On top of that we have exclusive collaborations with EWE Studio, Ex.t, Zilio A&C, Vitrocsa, and more unique, honest an truly great brands and people with truly great design products.
Ariake means "daybreak", or the birth of a day. It means the start of a new beginning for two truly Japanese furniture producers Legnatec and Hirata Chair, companies that have been producing Japanese furniture, but only for the land of the rising sun. Until now. Under creative direction by Gabriel Tan from Singapore the production people from these two pearls of Japanese woodwork and traditional joints were asked to live and work together with designers from all over the world. And eat, drink, laugh, work, think and live together for 2 weeks in Japan. The production people didn't want to change anything of their production techniques and obviously the designers didn't want to change their ideas neither. Melting these views together result in beautifully honest and pure design pieces where the Japanese spirit is always in sight while finely tuned to meet our worldly esthetics.
Studio David Pompa creates unique objects with a strong commitment to honest materials and craftmanship. Founded in 2013 in the heart of Mexico City, having the showroom and production located in la Roma Norte neighborhood. "We are on a constant journey to discover new aspects of Mexican culture. Our work merges the essence of materials with bold and characterful aesthetics."
The collection is shaped by elegant forms, unique pieces with a timeless visual language. It is David's personal commitment to create objects of high quality, both beautifully crafted and accessible to our audience worldwide.
Stellar Works
Stellar Works is all about Asian sensibility and timeless craft. Born out of a dream of Yuichiro Hori – now CEO at the Shanghai based brand- and creatively directed from day one by Lyndon Neri & Rosanna Hu (Neri&Hu), the design furniture company combines the East with our West. Stellar Works produces chairs designed by Shuwa Tei, Neri & Hu, OeO to name some Eastern designers, but also works with Yabu Pushelberg, Space Copenhagen, David Rockwell, Nick Graham to complete the circle of influences from around the world. Combining East with West only works if you also combine the Old with the New. Designs by Carlo Forcolini, Jens Risom and Vilhelm Wohlert blend so elegantly together with the new designs from Signe Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou (Space Cph) and Glenn Pushelberg en George Yabu.

If I open a deck in the Editor and then I open another one, the name remains that of the previous deck. And if I save the changes to the new deck, save them in place of the deck that I had opened before, and not in place of the right one.
I have been experiencing the same problem on versions 1.6.16 and 1.6.17.

'The lights went off and the car began to fall': Tourist tells of horror lift ordeal 124 floors up the world's tallest building
By Mail Foreign Service www.dailymail.co.uk
A group of terrified tourists have told how they were trapped in a lift for almost an hour 124 floors above the ground in the world's tallest building.
Visitors on the observation deck half-mile-high Burj Khalifa heard a loud boom, then saw dust that looked like smoke seeping through a crack in a lift door.
The 15 people inside were trapped for 45 frightening minutes until rescuers managed to pry open the doors.
One of those trapped in the elevator said that the lights went off and the car began to fall before the brakes kicked in.
Because the elevator was apparently stuck between floors, workers had to drop a ladder into the shaft so those inside could crawl out.
On the observation deck, about 60 more people were stranded and some began to panic.
Shortly after the drama unfolded on Saturday evening, the tower that was supposed to be one of Dubai's proudest achievements shut down to the public just a month after its grandiose opening.
It is the latest embarrassment for the once-booming Gulf city-state that is now mired in a deep financial crisis.
Witnesses who were on the observation deck at the time and a Dubai rescue officialrelived their terrifying experience this morning.
Emaar Properties, the state-linked company that owns Burj Khalifa, has said little about the incident and nothing about an lift malfunction.
It remains unclear what caused the elevator to the observation deck – the only part of the building that was open – to fail.
Michael Timms, 31, an American telecommunications engineer who lives in Dubai, was on the deck with his cousin Michele Moscato when the ordeal began.
'It almost sounded like a small explosion. It was a really loud bang,' Timms said.
It would take another 45 minutes for rescue crews to arrive and pry open the elevator door, he said.
From what he saw, the elevator's roof looked to be about where the floor should have been, so rescuers hoisted a ladder into the shaft to help those trapped inside crawl out. Some were clearly shaken.
'One lady I saw … she didn't say a word,' Timms said.
'She just looked shocked and dazed, then walked directly to the wall and sat down on the floor.'
Abu Naseer, a spokesman for Dubai's civil defence department, said the call for help came in around 6.20pm on Saturday. Emergency crews used another lift to reach the observation deck and were able to rescue all 15 people in the broken elevator unharmed, he said.
The incident was the latest to tarnish the international reputation of Dubai, one of seven small sheikdoms that make up the United Arab Emirates.
In recent years, Dubai boomed on borrowed wealth that went into extravagant real estate projects such as islands shaped like palm trees and rows of striking new skyscrapers.
Then the financial crisis hit and real estate prices plunged to half their value in a year.
The government and many state-run companies struggled to pay their bills – debts that surpassed $80 billion.
Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital and Dubai's oil-rich neighbor, pumped $20 billion in bailout funds to rescue Dubai.
In a nod to the bailout patron, the tower originally known as Burj Dubai was renamed Burj Khalifa for the emir of Abu Dhabi and UAE president Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The surprise renaming was announced at the lavish opening ceremony on January 4.
Emaar, which owns the 2,717-foot building, has not responded to specific questions about the incident that led to the shutdown or made anyone available to speak.
Local newspapers reported the shutdown on Monday but it was still not clear exactly when the building was closed.
Emaar issued a brief statement in response to questions on Monday saying the viewing platform was temporarily shut for 'maintenance and upgrade' because of 'unexpected high traffic'.
It also hinted at electrical problems, saying 'technical issues with the power supply are being worked on by the main and subcontractors'.
Emaar has made no mention of problems with the elevators, angering some of those involved in the incident.
'What just kind of shocks me is that they were going to brush this under the rug to save face. If it broke, at least tell people it broke,' Timms said.
Witnesses say Emaar provided little information to visitors stuck on the 124th floor observation deck as rescue crews worked.
That lack of information caused panic among some visitors.
'I was really starting to get upset, getting really nervous,' said Moscato, 29, a nurse visiting from Columbia, South Carolina. 'I started crying.'
She said she and Timms – along with other visitors, some in raised voices – asked to use the stairs because they felt uncomfortable taking the elevator back down, but were told that was not allowed. Visitors were eventually taken down in a freight elevator not normally used by the public, they said.
Moscato said one of those trapped in the elevator told her later that the lights went off and the car began to fall before the brakes kicked in.
It was not possible to independently verify the account.
The tower's 57 elevators are supplied by U.S.-based Otis Elevator Co., part of United Technologies Corp.
Otis spokesman Dilip Rangnekar said the installation is ongoing. He declined to comment, however, on Saturday's malfunction, saying it was up to owner Emaar to release details.
Because of its immense height, the Burj will have separate sections on levels 43, 76 and 123 known as 'sky lobbies' where tenants will change from express elevators to local ones that stop on each floor.
Visitors to the observation deck use dedicated elevators that whisk them from the base to the 124th viewing floor in about a minute.
The tower was designed by Chicago-based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, which has a long track record engineering some of the world's tallest buildings, including Chicago's Willis Tower, the tallest in the U.S. formerly known as the Sears Tower.
A Skidmore spokeswoman and engineers involved in the Burj's construction did not respond to requests for comment.
The observation deck was the only part of the tower that had opened as work continued on the rest of the building's interior. The first tenants were supposed to move in this month.
The tower rises more than 160 stories, though the exact number of floors is not known. The tapering, silvery tower ranks not only as the highest building but also as the tallest freestanding structure in the world.
The observation deck, which is mostly enclosed but includes an outdoor terrace bordered by guard rails, is located about two-thirds of the way up.
