The Start menu will now open Office files in the web browser if the computer doesn't have a valid installation of Office. If the device has a valid installation of Office, the files from the "Recommended" section will open in the apps. In addition, Windows 11 build 22000.527 also adds support for hot adding and the removal of non-volatile memory (NVMe) namespaces and support for Windows Hello for Business Cloud Trust.
Alongside these new features and improvements, Microsoft is also making available the redesigned Notepad and Media apps through the Microsoft Store app. Furthermore, you can now download and install the Windows Subsystem for Android and the Amazon Appstore to install Android apps on Windows 11.
Build 22000.527 for Windows 11 changes
Here's the complete list of improvements for Windows 11 update KB5010414:
Provides the ability to shares cookies between Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode and Microsoft Edge.
Opens Microsoft Office files that are in the Start menu's recommended section in the browser. This occurs if the device does not have an appropriate Microsoft Office license and the file is stored in Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft SharePoint. If there is a license, the file will open in the desktop app instead.
Adds the clock and date to the taskbars of other monitors when you connect other monitors to your device.
Adds weather content to the left side of the taskbar if the taskbar is aligned in the center. When you hover over the weather, the Widgets panel will appear on the left side of the screen and will disappear when you stop hovering over the area.
Adds the ability to quickly share open application windows directly from your taskbar to a Microsoft Teams call.
Adds support hot adding and removing non-volatile memory (NVMe) namespaces.
Adds the ability to instantly mute and unmute a Microsoft Teams call from your taskbar. During a call, an active microphone icon will appear on the taskbar so that you can easily mute the audio without having to return to the Microsoft Teams call window.
Addresses an issue that occurs when Windows Server 2016 runs as a terminal server using certain cloud computing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). As result, the servers randomly stop responding after running for a period of time. This also addresses a regression that proactively checks to ensure that the CSharedLock in rpcss.exe is set correctly to avoid a deadlock.
Addresses an issue that might cause the time zone list in Settings to appear blank for users who are not administrators.
Addresses an issue that affects the Windows search service and occurs when you query using the proximity operator.
Addresses an issue that fails to show the Startup impact values in Task Manager.
Addresses an issue that prevents ShellWindows() from returning the InternetExplorer object when iexplore.exe runs in the Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode context.
Addresses an issue that affects dialog boxes in Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode.
Addresses an issue that causes Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode to stop working when you press the F1 key.
Addresses an issue that causes the improper cleanup of Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) objects. This prevents session teardown and causes a session to stop responding.
Addresses an issue that prevents printing from operating properly for some low integrity process apps.
Introduces support for Windows Hello for Business Cloud Trust. This is a new deployment model for hybrid deployments of Windows Hello for Business. It uses the same technology and deployment steps that support on-premises single sign-on (SSO) for Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) security keys. Cloud Trust removes the public-key infrastructure (PKI) requirements for deploying Windows and simplifies the Windows Hello for Business deployment experience.
Addresses an issue that prevents you from unloading and reloading drivers when the drivers are protected Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity (HVCI).
Addresses an issue that affects the Silent BitLocker enablement policy and might unintentionally add a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) protector.
Addresses a reliability issue that affects the use of the Remote Desktop app to mount a client's local drive to a terminal server session.
Addresses an issue that displays right-to-left (RTL) language text as left-justified on File Explorer command menus and context menus.
Addresses an issue that prevents you from reaching the LanguagePackManagement configuration service provider (CSP) using the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Bridge.
Addresses an issue that causes a mismatch between a Remote Desktop session's keyboard and the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client when signing in.
Addresses an issue that causes incorrect tooltips to appear in an empty area on the taskbar after you hover over other icons like battery, volume, or Wi-Fi.
Addresses an issue that occurs when you try to write a service principal name (SPN) alias (such as www/FOO) and HOST/FOO already exists on another object. If the RIGHT_DS_WRITE_PROPERTY is on the SPN attribute of the colliding object, you receive an "Access Denied" error.
Addresses an issue that disconnects Offline Files on the network drive after you restart the OS and sign in. This issue occurs if the Distributed File System (DFS) path is mapped to the network drive.
Addresses an issue that displays the authentication dialog twice when you mount a network drive.

Capitalism is tackling the world's biggest social and environmental problems-and giving investors a new way to do well by doing good.
Pretend it's 2007 again, andyou must choose between two investment opportunities. One is a pool of U.S.-based mortgage-backed securities packaged by a huge Wall Street firm. The other is a fund with stakes in small, obscure, mostly privately held lending institutions around the world. These so-called microbanks make unsecured loans to people who earn less than $2 a day and lack anything resembling collateral.
I can guess which one most of you would have picked. And while we all know what happened to mortgage-backed securities since then, the microbank investment has returned a consistent 6% annually over the past three years. What's more, the loans those obscure little banks made (loans as small as $50 in some cases) have enabled entrepreneurs living in some of the world's least developed countries to start or expand small businesses and begin to pull themselves and their families out of pervasive poverty.
I know this because I invest in those microbanks, as do a growing number of pension funds, foundations and high-net-worth individuals. I am also an active participant in an emerging investment category called impact investing. Although it's barely on most investors' radar screens today-and despite the fact that some microbanks have been in the news recently for doing more harm than good in these developing countries-I still firmly believe that in the coming decade impact investing could fundamentally reshape how your clients "do well by doing good," how the planet's biggest problems get solved and how you bring value to wealthy investors.
* Generate reasonable financial returns for the companies, organizations and investors addressing those issues.
sprouted up around the world. The most famous is Grameen Bank, a microlender whose founder Muhammad Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.
Here's what is new: As more of these firms have achieved their initial social goals, they're looking to expand their operations and do more good for more people in more countries. Much like traditional small companies, they're looking to the capital markets to help fuel their growth. This could significantly affect traditional charity and philanthropy as well as socially conscious investors (and the advisors who serve them).
Impact investing is a response to some of the shortcomings in existing methods for enacting positive social change. Take government aid. For decades, it has largely failed to create meaningful and lasting social good due to an often ineffective use of resources and endemic government corruption in many of the world's poorest nations.
And traditional charity, while important, doesn't have the scale to address the world's biggest social issues by itself. The scope of problems like the lack of clean drinking water (which affects 960 million people) and proper sanitation (2.5 billion people) is enormous, especially for organizations that must rely solely on donations and the goodwill of others to make a difference.
Within the investment arena, traditional socially responsible investment options, such as SRI funds, tend to focus on identifying and avoiding big companies with perceived negative business practices or products. More recently, ESG funds have sought to identify and invest in large companies demonstrating strong environmental, social or corporate governance characteristics. Both funds serve important missions. But they aren't designed to provide targeted support to the types of privately held firms developing innovative solutions to the world's social problems.
By contrast, the new breed of social enterprises circumvents the limitations of government aid and traditional philanthropy by allocating financial and intellectual capital directly to entrepreneurs motivated to solve their own problems. This model is rapidly gaining acceptance in the marketplace as more of the developed world sees the world's poor as deserving of our investment, not just our charity.
Affluent baby boomers are a key driver of change here. Boomers are regaining their sense of social activism now that they're older and have more time and financial resources. As they start to define their success beyond their bottom line, they're looking for new ways to use their resources to create sustainable good. In addition, mid-career professionals in their thirties, forties and fifties are getting off the corporate treadmill and using their experience to support socially driven for-profit businesses.
Social enterprise is also becoming popular among Gen Yers. As with the boomers before them, these students are highly socially conscious. Unlike their elders, they're looking to integrate their drive to create change into an entrepreneurial career track right now.
This momentum means you should start raising the issue of impact investing with your clients now-both to spark interest and position yourself as a pioneer. Your powerful message: You are driven to help your clients connect their investment capital with the social values and concerns that are important to them as human beings and to infuse their portfolios with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
Chances are, impact investing will resonate most among affluent investors with $2 million or more in investable assets. These investors have less concern about outliving their savings-they're at a level of affluence that enables them to explore the type of impact their wealth can have on the world around them. And most impact investments today are structured as private debt or equity funds, which are available only to accredited high-net-worth investors.
Within that group, target your initial conversations to clients who have indicated an interest in leaving a legacy that demonstrates their passions and values-clients for whom a meaningful connection resonates. When these clients hear they can achieve social good while retaining the assets in their portfolios and use impact investing to leverage their traditional philanthropy, they will recognize an exciting new conversation.
* What broad-based issues are of greatest concern-poverty, education, healthcare, housing, the environment or some combination?
* Is there any particular geographic focus (country or region)? Is there a preference for domestic issues versus problems in foreign markets?
* How much of the portfolio should be allocated to impact investments? Given the embryonic nature of the industry and the lack of products, begin with a modest allocation-2% to 4% of the portfolio-and build from there as the industry grows.
Next, identify specific investments and discuss their appropriateness based on the client's goals, assets and risk tolerance. As noted above, options include private equity and debt funds (and funds-of-funds), which can carry minimums of $50,000 or more and can be highly illiquid, requiring holding periods of several years before investors can realize any gains.
It's also important to be realistic about the current state of impact investing. It's still early in the game. Lack of an organized infrastructure and intermediation capabilities makes it difficult to find social enterprise projects. In addition, there's no universal criteria for how to measure the social or environmental results of these investments, making apples-to-apples comparisons of various investments challenging.
Despite the complexity, advisors who begin these conversations soon will have a distinct competitive advantage. This advantage has three parts. First, there's an opportunity to appeal to affluent boomer clients yearning to live lives of significance as they age and reconnect with the desire to create social good they felt when they were younger. They've achieved financial success and are now starting to think about their "life footprint"-the lessons, values and legacies they want to pass along to their heirs and to society. Introducing impact investing lets you talk to these clients about their core interests and values-a topic their other advisors likely aren't addressing.
Second, from an overall prospecting and referral standpoint, impact investing is new and interesting to many ideal client segments. It's a fresh conversation to have with investors who are tired of hearing the same old stuff.
But the biggest impact is in client retention and multigenerational opportunities among affluent families. Currently, less than 10% of the next generation retains their parents' advisors. Advisors can use impact investing as a multigenerational glue to engage not just their wealthy older clients, but also those clients' children and grandchildren as families work together to define their social impact beliefs and strategies. Use the social enterprise movement to talk to younger generations about issues they care about deeply-more deeply than beating the S&P 500.
Early adopters are already embracing impact investing (see "Veteran Advice," above), and the infrastructure is being put into place. While it's not for everyone, impact investing could resonate with baby boomers, affluent clients and multigenerational families-and be crucial to the growth of your practice in the decades to come.

No Ghanaian journalist, worth his or her salt, should ever fall for the Machiavellian plot to destroy the reputations of Kweku Baako Jnr, and his brilliant protégé, Anas Amereyaw. That shabby plot, is one of the most disgraceful conspiracies, ever to be hatched by members of a serving government, in Ghana's entire history, since independence in 1957. Pity.
That vile and cynical plot, according to bush-telegraph sources, was apparently hatched by a greedy cabal of cynical regime-insiders, whose secret agenda, is apparently to exploit their positions in the administration of the serious-minded and honest President Akufo-Addo, for personal gain - at Ghanaian society's expense. Hmmmm, Oman Ghana, eyeasem o - asem kesie ebeba debi ankasa.
Furthermore, it is vial that all independent-minded, and fair-minded Ghanaian media professionals, understand clearly that the loaded-phrase, often bandied about by the cynics in President Akufo-Addo's regime: "We must watch the raw unedited video footage of The Tiger Eye Private Investigators' story..." is actually code for: Let us see if we can find something in the unedited video recording, to enable us trip up that confounded nosey-parker, who wants to ruin our wealth acquisition plans.
Any politician in our homeland Ghana, who frequently utters that abominable and unpardonable phrase, in connection with the work of the Tiger Eye Private Investigators, is definitely an individual who must monitored closely, by the Ghanaian media, at all material times. The question we must all ponder over is: Has Kweku Baako Jnr not spent virtually all his adult life fighting corrupt and dictatorial military regimes that tried to enslave the good people of Ghana in the past? And has Anas Amereyaw not also worked hard most of his adult life to expose egregious corruption in Ghanaian society? They are national heroes, not villians, to be freely condemned by feckless politicians. Who born dog? Haaba.

Professional Mold Inspection is important in order to properly identify the actual cause and or to determine if Mold is present.
Dryfast completed by date over 3000 Mold Inspections in San Francisco, Bay Area. We are working closely with property managers, government officials, homeowners, tenants and landlords, resolving critical situation, attending tenants board hearings, finding resolution to to their Mold related problems. In the Mold Inspection process we utilize both, advanced digital moisture meters, infrared cameras, particle counters and most importantly our field experience.
You do not open windows to provide fresh air, so that creates "lack of ventilation "–therefore Mold will start growing.
You had water damage, water intrusion and it was not properly addressed, hidden trapped moisture is what needs to be addressed more then the visible standing water. Wet building material being wet for over 24 to 72 hours can create suitable environment for mold growth.
The property you just moved into was previously affected by Mold and the Microbial Growth was covered by paint and or remodeling.
Mold inspection and air testing is inevitable due to a variety of reasons. It is a precautionary measure to ensure the quality of air of indoor environment. This service can be utilized while purchasing or selling a home or commercial property. You must seek the service as soon as possible when you suspect or know the presence of mold. Mold inspection is highly important to determine whether the indoors of a house or building is safe for its occupants. At the same time, it is highly important to seek the service of a certified mold inspector who can provide the best quality service. Certified Indoor Environment Professionals (IEP) in San Francisco like DryFast General Contractors from Bay Area can provide you the best quality service.
The certification, experience and quality of training of mold inspection and testing specialists in San Francisco are the major considerations for those who plan to obtain this service. An inspector must have knowledge and experience in exposure assessments, building science, HVAC, microbiology/mycology, microbial assessment and remediation, indoor environment quality, health effects and legal communication. Property can be evaluated in the most accurate way if the inspectors have wide knowledge in toxicology and industrial hygiene. Such inspectors are efficient in detecting damage and fix problems in the best possible way. The damage can be caused by some individuals such as construction managers, product manufacturers, landlords, mechanical engineers, subcontractors and architects. The causes must be identified to fix the problem properly. So, dealing with DryFast is the best option.
Molds can grow on any substance when moisture is present. Flooding, indoor plumbing problems, building maintenance or leaky roof can lead to indoor mold growth. To determine the presence of mold in a building, the testing inspectors take samples for surface or from the air. It is helpful to determine whether the environment is conductive to mold growth. It is also essential to determine the kind of mold and the level of infestation.
Mold can be detected by smell and signs of water damage on ceiling or walls. They grow in places, which are not visible to human eye. Mold can be found on inside of ceiling tiles, behind paneling or wall paper or upper side of carpet. Nutrients, moisture and time are the three major things that needed for the growth of spores.
When Should Seek Mold Testing And Inspection Service?
The presence of mold may not be obvious always. When you notice some of the warning signs such as musty smell or water damage, then you seek the help of inspectors. You must also consider mold testing if you experience the symptoms of mold exposure. Highly qualified, professional and dependable service can be provided by DryFast General Contractors. Once you identify the presence of mold in your area, it should be removed as soon as possible. After removing them from your house, you should again test to ensure that the mold is removed completely.


For people who work, have family responsibilities, or live in rural areas, distance learning may present the best opportunity to pursue postsecondary education. Not only that, but employment of postsecondary teachers is expected to grow by 15% between 2008 and 2018, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is faster than the average for all other occupations. Opportunities should be best for qualified teachers specializing in growing fields such as business, nursing, health specialties, and biological sciences. Recent graduates may also find employment opportunities in part-time or non-tenure-track positions.
Top online degree programs in postsecondary education, adult education, and instructional design typically include coursework in advanced pedagogical theory, principles of leadership, and instructional design models. Membership in a professional organization, like the	US Distance Learning Association (USDLA), can also help build strong contacts and help new online educators further establish themselves within the profession.
Finding the best online college degree program means finding one with curriculum that fits your lifestyle and is in line with your academic and career goals. Whether you want to take classes part-time or full-time,	accredited online degrees in distance learning and online education have helped many further their education and achieve success through distance learning.
We're sorry, but there are no online Distance Learning programs available at this time. Please select a different degree level, area of study or try browsing campus locations as well.

Flirting with a pretty girl can be nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time. Whether it's someone you know or a girl you just met, flirting is easy when you know the right things to do. By approaching her with confidence, showing your personality, and getting to know more about her, you might be able to get a date with the girl of your dreams!
Stand up straight and be confident in yourself. Your body language says a lot about you, and girls can tell if you're nervous to talk to them. Make sure you're speaking loud enough that they can hear you and that you aren't looking at the ground while you're talking.
While looks aren't everything, it's always good to put in some effort to look your best!
Remember that being confident doesn't mean bragging or showing off. You can be confident just by approaching someone and starting a conversation.
If you become visibly nervous while you're talking, with sweat or shaky hands, excuse yourself from the conversation and go to the bathroom to gather yourself.
Introduce yourself with a smile. When you approach a girl, you should say hi and tell her your name. This will encourage her to share her name and give you the opportunity to get to know her a little better. Smile and make eye contact while she's talking to show her that you're paying attention.
Introducing yourself is the easiest way to break the ice and open up a conversation, even if you're shy.
Give her a genuine compliment on something that you like about her. Once you've introduced yourself to her, tell her what made you come approach her. Maybe you think she has great hair or you like her smile. Make sure your compliment is genuine and keep it positive.
For example, you can say something like, "Your hair is beautiful, the color really brings out your eyes." Or, you could say, "I noticed your Nirvana shirt. That's my favorite band!"
Ask her unique questions about her interests to get to know her better. If you're talking to a girl that you've never met before, you'll want to learn more about her. Ask open-ended questions that don't require a "yes" or "no" answer to give her a chance to show more of her interests and personality.
If you know her, ask her about things that you might have in common, like, "What did you do this weekend?" or, "How did you do on that history project?" That will give her a chance to talk and give you an opportunity to respond.
Make eye contact when she's talking and listen closely. Paying attention when a girl talks is a great way to show her that you're interested and nice. Eye contact is the best way to communicate that you're engaged in the conversation, and be sure to throw in affirming comments at the appropriate times.
If you have something to add to the conversation, make sure you wait until there's a pause to jump in with your comment. No one likes to be interrupted while they talk!
Tell her a short funny story if the moment is appropriate. Girls love a guy who has a sense of humor and can make them laugh. Think about something funny that happened to you recently and bring it up in conversation if it goes with the topic that you're talking about.
Try to avoid randomly bringing up a funny story, because that can make it seem like you're trying too hard.
Keep the story short to avoid boring the girl, and keep an eye out to make sure she isn't bored. If you notice her staring off, wrap up your story and change the subject to something else.
Find a reason to touch her lightly if she's comfortable with you. Many girls respond positively to small gestures like a touch on the arm, sitting close, or brushing her hair behind her ear. Make excuses to have physical contact with her, which will make her feel more comfortable and at ease around you.
A great way to initiate contact is by taking her hand to lead her somewhere, or sitting next to her at a table where your legs can touch.
If she seems uncomfortable or pulls away, you should back off.
Remember little details that she tells you. Listening shows girls that you're kind and interested in them. If she brings up that she's worried about a math test, wishing her luck on the day of the exam will show her that you've been thinking about her.
Many girls view this as a sign that you'd be a good boyfriend and it can help you move from a friendly relationship to a romantic one.
When you're first getting to know each other, ask things like her favorite color, birthday, and favorite food. Make a point to remember these because they'll definitely be useful at some point!
Make time to be alone together if the flirting is going well. Being alone with a pretty girl might make you nervous, but it's one of the best ways to see her true personality and learn if you really like her. Offer to be her partner for a project or to walk her home after class. This will show her that you want to spend more time with her and give you a chance to talk to her without other people around. Be careful with this one- many girls and women are uncomfortable when alone with a boy or man, as this can seem threatening. Even if you know you have good intentions and won't do anything inappropriate without her consent, she may not know that. A good way to avoid making her uncomfortable is to spend time with her in a public place. You will be visible to the public, which makes it easier for her to feel safe, and you will be able to talk uninterrupted (depending on where you go).
Some girls will act differently when they're around their friends. Spending time together with just the two of you will give you a better idea of her personality and whether you're interested in spending more time with her.
Tease her gently if you're already close with her. For girls who you already know, it can be difficult to make the transition from friendship to something more romantic. If you've shared inside jokes before, like embarrassing stories or memories together, bring them up to remind her how close you are.
If you know her well, make sure to avoid topics that you know she's sensitive about. Things like appearance and intelligence should always be off limits.
Avoid teasing girls who you don't know already because this can come off as rude. You never know what someone is insecure about, so it's best to stick to being nice when meeting someone new.
Send some flirty text messages to start a conversation. If things are going well, ask for her phone number if you don't already have it. Texting is a great way to start a conversation without worrying about outside things like other people. Once you have her number, send her a text the next day with a comment about something you've talked about before.
Try to respond to her texts within 30 minutes or so unless you're busy. It can be frustrating to have a conversation with someone who doesn't reply often, especially if she can see when you opened her message.
If she doesn't reply, wait a day or two to text her again. Avoid bringing up the fact that she didn't answer and try to start a different conversation. If she still doesn't answer, accept it and move on.
Avoid sending multiple texts in a row. This can be overwhelming and scare her off. Wait for her to reply to your previous messages before sending another one.
Be straightforward and ask her out if things are going well. Sometimes, you have to be bold when you like someone. If things are going well and she seems happy to see you and spend time with you, ask her out on a date. She'll appreciate you being honest about liking her, and you'll know immediately if she likes you back.
If she refuses, accept her decision and back off.
Be courteous and kind when you're around her. Open doors and hold her hand when walking to show her that you're interested in her romantically and will treat her well. This goes a long way to showing that you'd make a good boyfriend and might bump her interest in you to the next level.
Kindness will demonstrate to the girl that you're trustworthy and reliable, which are both very desirable traits. Plus, all girls like being treated well!
Expect to foot the bill when you ask her on a date. You should plan to pay for the first few dates if you're the one asking her out, but don't start an argument if she offers to pay half. She's probably just trying to show that she's independent and doesn't expect you to support her. If you're interested in a girl, the nice thing to do is offer to pay.
It's okay if you can't afford expensive dates. In that case, try to plan cheaper things, like going to free art shows or having a romantic picnic in the park. This demonstrates your desire to be around her but is easier on your wallet.
Be yourself when pursuing a pretty girl. The best way to get a girl to like you is by showing her that you're funny, interesting, and kind. Putting on a show and trying to seem cool will feel fake, and most girls will see through that. If she feels comfortable around you and trusts you, she'll be happy to spend more time with you.
This includes being open about what you're looking for from your flirting. If things get more serious, let her know if you're looking for a serious relationship or more interested in keeping things casual. Don't lead her on if she's not interested in the same things you are.
Having a "good sense of humor" means you are funny and can make other people laugh. Humor is personal though so be careful. What makes one person laugh hysterically might seem cheesy or even offensive to someone else. Take your cue from her, and if she doesn't laugh at your jokes, maybe try a different type of humor or just flirt in other ways.
Expect and accept rejection. Some girls aren't interested in a relationship or meeting new people. Respect their boundaries and learn to take no for an answer.
Don't act cool just to impress her. This seldom works. A girl responds to confidence, not showing off.
Don't say things about yourself that aren't true. If you get serious and she brings it up, you'll be clueless.
Don't flirt with two or more girls at once. It comes off as rude and girls will avoid you if you have the reputation of being a player.
To flirt with a pretty girl, stand up straight, smile, and introduce yourself to her. Give her a compliment to break the ice, like "Cool shirt! That's my favorite band." If she seems receptive, make a witty joke or ask her an open-ended question about herself. As you're flirting, remember to make eye contact so you come across as confident and likable. If things are going well, ask her to exchange numbers so you can flirt with her over text too. To learn more, such as how to ask her out if it's going well, keep reading the article!

Oramed Announces Positive Initial Clinical Trial Results for Treatment of NASH With Oral Insulin
Data Presented at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Session 2020
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc.
15 Jun, 2020, 15:25 IDT
NEW YORK, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ORMP) (TASE: ORMP) (www.oramed.com), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral drug delivery systems, today announced that its pilot study of its oral insulin candidate ORMD-0801 in type 2 diabetes patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), has shown ORMD-0801 to be safe and well tolerated thus far, with an encouraging lowering of fatty liver content, as seen by MRI- derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF).

The data is being presented in a poster at the 80th American Diabetes Association (ADA) Scientific Sessions, held virtually this year, June 12-16, 2020.
The pilot, open-label study of the first 8 patients of a planned 40-patient multi-center study, aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and early effects of 16 mg ORMD-0801 (2x8 mg capsules) on liver fat in type 2 diabetes patients with NASH. The 12-week, once-daily treatment had no serious adverse events, and induced an observed mean 6.9±6.8% reduction in liver fat content (sign test p value: 0.035), and the relative reduction was 30%, [see graph] as measured by MRI-PDFF. In parallel, concentrations of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), a key marker of chronic hepatitis, were significantly lower after 12 weeks of treatment as compared to baseline (-14.6±13.1 U/L; sign test p value: 0.008), as were fasting insulin levels (-96.5±206.0 pmol/L; sign test p value: 0.035).
Oramed's CEO, Nadav Kidron, said, "These preliminary observations suggest a positive effect of oral insulin on NASH in people with type 2 diabetes, as shown by reductions in liver fat content. We look forward to further validating these encouraging findings in the larger population of this study and in large-scale, randomized clinical trials."
In addition to the NASH data, Oramed is presenting two posters illustrating ORMD-0801's impact on type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Oramed's poster presentations at the ADA include:
Oral Insulin (ORMD-0801) Effects on Glucose Parameters in Uncontrolled T2DM on Oral Antibiotic Drugs (OADs), Presented by Dr. Julio Rosenstock, Director of the Dallas Diabetes Research Center and Scientific advisory board member at Oramed Pharmaceuticals

Join our hosts Kristin Walker and The Mental Health Comedian, Frank King, for a wonderful discussion about grief - we'd say a unique one. Jan Warner joins us and we quickly experienced why her book and her discussions about grief are so popular.
When my husband died I thought I would miss him very much and be sad. i didn't know I would feel totally devastated. After the first chaotic year I needed to find meaning again in a life that seemed meaningless without him. I decided to honor him by being available to grieving people the way he, as a recovering alcoholic, was available to alcoholics and addicts. I started a blog and then the Facebook page Grief Speaks Out. My goal was to reach one person. I had no idea that the Facebook page would become a supportive community of over 2 million people from almost every country in the world. Now I have a written a book to be able to share my experience in how to be fully alive with grief.
I believe that honoring grief is honoring love. I want my husband's life to matter more than his death but I will always grieve his loss. My goal was to have more productive moments and more joyous moments. I love being a grandmother. I have produced plays and documentary films. I love to travel around the world and have been to all seven continents. Even after nine years there are days when everything falls apart. I have a letter from my husband telling me how he watches me fall down and then get back up again. He writes that he loves me and is proud of me for this. I hope I am still making him proud.
It seems impossible that I have lived on so long without him. Yet, within that impossibility, I have had many adventures I never could have imagined. What I have been told most often is that I articulate what other people are thinking and cannot find the words to say. Whatever brought you to this page, whatever you are feeling is exactly where you should be. Whatever changes you wish you could make, you can - but in your own time - when you are ready. Together we can find ways to have our grief inspire us rather than deaden us.
I have a Master's in Counseling Degree and have studied NLP, Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Neo-Ericksonian Hypnotherapy. I have been doing my FB page www.Facebook.com/GriefSpeaksOut for over 5 years. It is humbling to think that I have created such a loving, supportive, international community for myself and fellow grievers. i hope Grief Day by Day will also be a loving support for grief warriors everywhere.


Watch all the highlights from the under 18s side's opening day defeat to Oldham Athletic in the Youth Alliance.
The under 18s fell to a 1-0 Youth Alliance loss to Oldham Athletic on the opening day of the season, but Professional Development Phase Lead Coach Sam Rose feels his team showed a lot of character in defeat.
Oldham had the better of the first-half, but strong defending from the Brewers saw the hosts limited to efforts from range for the most-part.
Burton went close on a number of occasions in the second period, with the away side seeing efforts fly just over the bar on more than one occasion.
Oldham scored the decisive goal when a free-kick was put into the box and the ball was stabbed into the Burton net after a scramble in the penalty area.
Rose feels that the goal was avoidable, but he was pleased with the qualities showed by the team during the game.
He said: "For the majority, we looked comfortable defending but without creating many scoring opportunities, we struggled for quality with the ball. We're disappointed with the goal we conceded having defended balls in to the box for the majority of the game, we will want to deal with situations like that better in the future.
"It was a scrappy goal to concede and could have been avoided. Conceding so late gave Oldham something to hold on to and they saw the last ten minutes out comfortably in the end. Oldham played well and will be happy with today's result, but we are disappointed we didn't see the game out and keep a clean sheet for a point, something we need to be able to do if we aren't playing well in games like today.

Q: How do you access a Metro app's local storage in a desktop application in Windows 8? Is there an API available for this in .Net?  What about in the Windows API?  If not, has anyone come up with some hackish-way to do this yet?

A: Finding the local storage folder of a Windows 8 Style application
http://blog.falafel.com/Blogs/paul-tidwell/2012/08/27/finding-the-local-storage-folder-of-a-windows-8-style-application
The path to Windows 8 Style apps is as follows:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.BingSports_8wekyb3d8bbwe
There is a new Windows API which uses an internal and undisclosed algorithm to create a publisher hash, which when appended to the package name becomes the family name.  Family name looks like {packagename}_{publisherhash}
If you wanted another desktop application or need to share this between some set of applications you can call the API via PowerShell cmdlet like so:
(Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers -Name  $name).PackageFamilyName

Write that to the registry and voila! Your application can use Environment.UserName and the path pattern above to easily find your appx local storage.


I love the 80's, there are many things I love about that era; the music, movies, fashion but above all, I dearly love the hair. When I spotted Jenny Hart's illustrations from her high school year book (her series is called: Study Hall) I definitely had to show all of you. My choices below are based on the gorgeously horrific hair but visit her website and have a look at the rest of her drawings and embroidery work; it's all so delightful.

Buellia nigra (Fink) Sheard
A Species of Lichen
special concern
Physciaceae
Rock Outcrop
Rinodina nigra
Buellia nigra (a lichen) was originally described as a species by Bruce Fink in 1902 from a collection he made in Otter Tail County Minnesota, where it occurred on moraines with granite boulders and limy soil (Hardwood Hills Subsection). In 1908, a population was found in North Dakota; this remains the only confirmed population of the species outside of Minnesota. A third location was discovered in Winona County Minnesota in 1978 (The Blufflands). Due to its apparent rarity, B. nigra was listed as an endangered species in Minnesota in 1984.
Between 1997 and 1999, a botanical survey was conducted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Minnesota Biological Survey in the Minnesota River Valley. This survey resulted in the discovery of a number of additional locations of what was believed to be Buellia nigra as well as the first collection for this species from South Dakota (Wheeler 1999). With this influx of new data, the species appeared to be secure in the state, so its status was lowered to special concern in 2013.
Recent work by a group of lichenologists out of Kansas has determined that many (if not all) of the recent specimens of Buellia nigra collected in Minnesota and South Dakota were misidentifications of other Buellia species, primarily B. badia (disc lichen) and B. tyrolensis (Advaita et al. 2016). A critical reexamination of the species throughout its range is needed to determine its true rarity. A reassessment of the species' listing status may be deemed necessary in the future, once B. nigra's distribution is better understood.
Buellia nigra is a crustose lichen that has a thin brownish to gray thallus (lichen body). It is regularly areolate, with the majority of areorolae bearing apothecia (fruiting bodies; Wheeler 1999). Apothecia are black, with a flat surface and are no more than 0.3 mm (0.01 in.) across. The rim of apothecia remains distinct, even in mature specimens (Hale 1979). Microscopically, this lichen has brown two-chambered spores that are very small, typically less than 15 μm long and less than 9 μm wide. There are 8 spores per ascus.
Reliable identification of this lichen requires chemical testing and microscopic analysis. Buellia nigra gives no positive chemical reactions, and the hypothecium (layer below the spore-bearing layer in the fruiting body) is colorless (Wetmore 1981).
The preferred substrate is non-calcareous rock in sunny exposed areas, sometimes near the edge of hardwood forests. In Minnesota, B. nigra has been found exclusively in the southern and western areas of the state.
This lichen reproduces strictly through the dispersal of fungal spores. Once transported, the spores must find the proper algal partner in the suitable environment in order to become established as a new thallus in that location.
Generally a prairie species, B. nigra, like other lichens, can be negatively affected by fire. Natural or prescribed burns to manage prairies may adversely affect local populations. In addition, any disruption of the rock on which this lichen grows, such as mining and/or quarry operations, could negatively affect populations of this species.
Best Time to Search
Searches for B. nigra may be conducted year-round whenever they are not covered by snow or ice.

Candace Cameron-Bure reveals her last text from Bob Saget
Bob Saget sweetly expressed his love for Candace Cameron-Bure in their final text exchange.
The actress read off the last messages she shared with her late TV father while appearing on "Today" on Thursday morning. In doing so, she also revealed she and Bob got into a trivial argument just before his sudden passing.
"We were going to have dinner. And we got into a little tiff. And his flight was delayed. We ended up not having dinner," she told Hoda Kotb. "But in Bob fashion, the next day he wrote me, like, what would be pages long of a text. And he was apologizing, saying he was cranky and he was just so sorry."
Bob then compared himself to his beloved late mother, Dolly.
"He said, 'Oh, now I feel even worse. I was so wrong. You're, like, my favorite person on the Earth and I acted like Dolly. I was getting ready to take a late flight, and I was annoyed,'" Candace said. "Bob went on and on and on in the text. And he said at the end, 'I love you more for the trouble you're giving me, if that's even possible.'"
Candace held back her emotions while reading her end of the digital exchange.
"I wrote back … 'I could never be mad at you. Roll my eyes at you? Yes. But never mad. And I love that [being like] Dolly. That made me laugh out loud. I loved your mom,'" she read from her phone.
Bob replied, "I love you. My mom loved you too."

The "Full House" star died at the age of 65 after being found in his hotel room in Orlando, Fla., on Jan. 9. While the official cause of death isn't yet known, it's believed that he suffered a medical episode.
A few days after Bob's death, Candace attended a star-studded funeral, as did many of her "Full House" co-stars.
In speaking to Hoda about that final text conversation, Candace said she worries about even opening up the exchange.
"I'm so scared that I'm going to pull up his text and then accidentally delete it one day," she said. "It scares me so much because I don't ever want to lose this."

I picked this one up out of curiosity, to see how Mr. Paulsen got Brian back to the wilderness. (Besides, it's short and a quick read.) You can see from my previous Goodreads reviews that this series has been hit and miss for me. Brian's Return, the fourth installment of the saga, was mostly a hit.
After his extended period of time alone in the wilderness, Brian has a hard time readjusting to "real life," even after being back for more than a year. In what would undoubtedly be diagnosed today as a reaction triggered by post-traumatic stress disorder, Brian seriously injures another teenage boy, Carl, who makes the mistake of swinging a fist at him after hurting two of Brian's friends. Brian's instincts take over.
In that instant Brian totally reverted. He was no longer a boy walking into a pizza parlor. He was Brian back in the woods, Brian with the moose, Brian being attacked--Brian living because he was quick and focused and intent on staying alive--and Carl was the threat, the thing that had to be stopped, attacked. Destroyed.
As a result of the attack, Brian starts seeing a counselor, Caleb, a seven-foot-tall, blind retired cop, who gets Brian to articulate the beauty he found in the woods and his longing to return and to reconnect with the person he was in the wilderness. Finally, one day Caleb "sighed and said, 'It's time for you to go back, to find what you're looking for.'" Brian "had to know what it was that pulled him and made him feel empty." Caleb helps to convince his parents, Brian makes the arrangements to visit the Cree family who found him, and he's off, back to the woods he so desperately misses.
Of course, the woods have to re-teach Brian a few lessons he had forgotten. The first day, a deer leaps into his canoe, capsizing it and sending all his gear into the lake - fortunately nothing is damaged. The next night, a storm hits. The wind collapses his tent, which he hadn't secured, and sends it tumbling down the embankment with Brian still in it, knocking him out.
He had forgotten the most important thing about living in the wilderness, the one thing he'd thought he would never forget--expect the unexpected. What you didn't think would get you, would get you. Plan on the worst and be happy when it didn't come.
Brian, however, quickly re-learns these lessons and finds a peace in the woods that escaped him back in civilization, deciding to continue exploring on his own for a while instead of heading directly for the Cree family. I would have liked to read about more of his adventures, but this is where Paulsen decided to close the story.
Paulsen's "Author's Note" at the end provides interesting insights into how Paulsen drew from his own experiences to write Brian's stories, including his ongoing search for solitude and wilderness over his lifetime. The Brian Saga is practically a love note to the wilderness. The way Paulsen describes what Brian sees, hears, feels, and does, it's evident that it is close to his heart.

Life in Ottawa
The Scene of the Accident
April 19, 2017Zhu5 min read14 comments
Accident on Baseline Road, Ottawa, Saturday April 15, 2017
I was walking on Fisher Avenue when I saw the flashing blue lights at the intersection with Baseline Road.
It was raining. I hastened not only because I was soaked but also because I was hoping to buy fresh bread and other groceries at the supermarket—shops had been closed for Easter Friday and the following day, Easter Sunday, was another bank holiday, so lineups were long and shelves empty. Aside from that, I was just following the usual Saturday routine. I had just cleaned the house from top to bottom for a couple of hours, cursing LEGO and discovering a world I hadn't suspected under the couch, and after the grocery trip I'd go home, sort out the laundry and relax—I know, the minutiae eating my life are absolutely fascinating.
At the end of Fisher, I turned left on Baseline for the final 1.3-km-long stretch taking me straight to either Loblaws, Food Basic or Walmart. I glanced at the lone police car at the intersection—probably a driver caught speeding.
Immersed in a podcast, I kept on walking. It took me a couple of minutes to notice something wasn't right—there was no traffic on Baseline Road, one of Ottawa's major east-west artery.
I paused the podcast, took my hood off and looked around. There. I saw more flashing blue lights straight ahead. Ah. So the first police car at Baseline and Fisher was blocking the traffic. Boy, I'm slow sometimes…
A hundred metres further up the road, yellow tape was up from the median to the Experimental Farm side. There were several first-responder vehicles parked along the road and a handful of officers under the rain. No paramedics—we weren't at this stage of the accident anymore.
I slowed down once I realized the drama was probably over—I didn't want to witness a possible gory scene.
Then I saw the wreck and I let out a gasp. The black car was flipped over on his roof and had somehow landed in the Experimental Farm.
It was very quiet after what must have been minutes of chaos and drama.
One of the officers was looking at the car, shaking in head.
"What the fuck…" I muttered.
A neighbour stepped out of the house and started taking pictures with his phone.
"Did you see what happened?" I asked.
"Nope. Just got there twenty minutes ago. But apparently, the car came from Merivale, up there… see the yellow markers?"
I squinted. "On the median?"
"Yep. So that means it must have crossed the median and one… two… three… yeah, three or maybe four poles, rolled over and it landed in the farm."
"Holy shit."
I resumed walking towards Merivale. I saw debris, a piece of bumper, the many markers left by the police, a yellow "bio-hazard" bag. No skid marks.
I paused again at the top of Baseline, looking down towards the scene of the accident. I still couldn't believe how far the car had travelled from the moment it had crossed the median to where it had finally landed.
It was a small miracle it hadn't hit other cars or crashed towards the houses on the other side of the road.
The news reported the two young men in the car had died at the hospital—speed was the likely cause of the accident.
As a pedestrian in Ottawa, I often walk by accident scenes but they are rarely that dramatic, although a few weeks ago, there was another fatal crash on Merivale Road, a few blocks from where we live.
Most of the time, they are just minor collisions, aka "fender benders." This is a term I learned when I was working at Canada Post and as you can expect, it wasn't directly linked to my work as an editor-in-chief. At 2701 Riverside Drive, the head office is a tall building overlooking Heron Road and Riverside. From the eighth floor, it felt like being in a control tower. One of the PR guys often stood behind the window and commented the traffic and the many accidents at this busy intersection. "Just a fender bender," he'd assessed. "Not sure why a firetruck showed up…" "Oh, gee, that one is nasty," he'd announced once in a while. And then, we would take turns to watch the firetrucks, paramedics, police cars and tow trucks because the drama was far enough to not feel too real.
It's funny: despite awful winter driving conditions, I always see more accidents during the warmest months. Fancy convertible cars are back on the road, drivers feel too confident and speed, who knows. But it always strikes me as odd when I see crazy accidents on warm, dry days.
I've always found the idea of sitting in a metal box to get around slightly crazy. The odds of something going wrong seem high when you rely on a piece of machinery, your own abilities and other people's skills to avoid collisions. Most of the time, we all arrive alive, which is a small miracle.
Like most of us, I'm a driver and passenger. I'm not that scared of car rides.
But drive safe. The alternative is deadly.
The wreck in the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Saturday April 15, 2017
Speed and a wet road, it seems. Even if here it seems justified, sometimes, I find that sending two or three firetrucks, cops, an ambulance is a little bit overkill.
Nope, it wasn't raining when the accident happened earlier in the day. The road was dry. Speed seemed to have been the factor.
Ah quand même …
Terrifying 🙁 I wiped out on the highway a year and a half ago. Unreal how fast it happened, that nothing seemed to cause it and there was nothing that I could do.
Eeek, yes. I remember you writing about it, a terrifying experience :-/
Jeruen says:
Thankfully I haven't been in an accident yet; the worst I have experienced was when our car started spinning slowly because we lost control of it, as we were exiting the ramp of a freeway in snowy weather. We were most probably a little too fast while turning, and the ground was slippery.
The fascinating thing about this is the mentality that some people have about being afraid to fly. Flying is still safer than driving, but unfortunately, most people do not understand statistics. :/
Rhaaaaaa, YES !
One of the problem about road safety messages is that majority of people do not experience the horrors of what can happen when doing the wrong thing : the majority of people who speed, drive drunk or distracted make it home safely. But they have statistically a higher risk of accident than someone who doesn't do that. Because the risk of accident doesn't jump to 100%, people have trouble apprehending these risks.
I know way too many people who drove home drunk and who made it just fine. Good for them, but of course this leads to the "meh, I'm a great driver, even when I'm a bit drunk" mentality :-/
in my case, I have a female friend called her Nie, who proudly tell us she breast feeding while driving. Unfortunately, there are some of my friends think that is cool and praised Nie as super woman. I commented "That's stupid you put other people in danger" and others think I'm exaggerating as my friend always make it home safely. I stopped talking to them ever since. I don;t care…really…
Oh yes, the losing control happened to us a few years ago. Same scenario, freezing rain I think, Feng was careful but we turned and lost control. Ended up in a snow bank, no harm, he wasn't going fast.
I can't understand people who are afraid to fly. I mean, I do to a certain extent, yes, it's strange I guess if you aren't used to it. But it's safe!
J'ai eu droit au cours de récupération de points quand j'étais en France (je conduisais très vite quand j'avais 18 ans), et le gars qui intervenait nous avait expliqué qu'il arrivait plus d'accidents par temps chaud, sec, sur une route droite parce que les gens se sentaient plus en confiance. Sinon l'un de mes premiers "fédé" (faits divers) comme journaliste, concernait un jeune qui roulait à 90 sur une route tortueuse bordée de platanes qui aurait dû être, selon un maire des environs, limitée à 50. Le moteur de la voiture avait fait plusieurs mètres après le choc…
Tiens, je ne connais pas "fédé" 🙂 Par contre ma pauvre, être envoyée sur ce genre de faits divers… j'espère que tu n'as rien vu. Je plains les "first responders", y' des scènes qu'on ne doit pas oublier.
Bravo aussi la façon dont tu admets avoir conduit vite à une période de ta vie 🙂 On fait tous des conneries. Ça t'a fait changer ta façon de conduire du coup? (Aucune ironie de ma part, juste de la curiosité!)
Encore, là, un point important : il y a une différence entre vitesse excessive et excès de vitesse. L'un et l'autre ne sont absolument pas synonymes. On peut faire l'un sans l'autre.
La route près de là où je bosse, un beau boulevard droit à chaussées séparées 2×3 voies, avec 2 carrefours à feux, sans aucune entrée/sortie quelqconque, est limitée à 60km/h sur ses environ 4 km. Il n'y a aucun danger à le passer à 80. La flicaille aime bien se mettre là pour faire du pognon.
À l'inverse, j'ai vu, au Texas, de petites routes (pour dire, pour croiser un autre camion, on doit ralentir et mordre un peu sur l'accotement pour éviter de taper les rétroviseurs) avec pour limites de vitesse 110km/h.
Assez vrai. J'ai souvent été en dessous de la limite sur certaines routes très sinueuses de campagne en France, alors que sur certaines grosses routes, la limite paraît basse sans raison.
