PopApp is a small-sized stand that integrates everything that is necessary to produce, preserve, showcase and sell hand-made ice cream in a minimum space.
IFI R&D, a benchmark in the design of technology and furniture for premises in the food industry, is responsible for this innovative creation. PopApp can be installed in any public space, whether it be in a shop, a hotel, a restaurant or a commercial area. This design offers an experience which is closer to the user, allowing the whole ice-cream manufacturing process to be seen up close, which brings down the barriers between manufacturers and customers.
KRIONTM Solid Surface Snow Withe 1100 EAST (KRIONTM K · LIFE) shapes the structural surfaces of this project. This version has the EAST photocatalytic technology which provides the material with multiple properties such as: air purifier, antibacterial, elimination of chemicals and easy cleaning. New features that make KRIONTM K-LIFE the ideal material for working with food.
KRIONTM is also thermo adaptable, therefore, curves and figures of fine and smooth finishes can be generated. The result is a piece that not only looks monolithic and elegant, but minimalist and cutting-edge as well.
PopApp is assembled in 5.14 square metres. This is a showcase for the latest technology consisting of: professional machinery for ice cream manufacturing, a self-sustaining sink system, a cold chamber for the ingredients and storage units.
Each element has been designed and arranged according to ergonomic criteria in order to optimise the interaction between professionals and their work space. This station in miniature is compact. It only occupies 3.5 square metres and thus facilitates both its transport and assembly.
The ingenuity and work by the IFI R&D team has received international recognition by way of the Compasso d'Oro ADI 2018 award. Original ideas combined with innovative materials like KRIONTM K-LIFE, at the service of society.


New Planters for Hither Green Lane!
Earlier this month the Hither Green Community Association won a Capital Clean Up grant from the Mayor of London.
Capital Clean-up aims to encourage Londoners do their bit and help rejuvenate neglected parts of the city. Events include canal clean-ups, litter picks, habitat restoration, and graffiti removal. It is also part of the Mayor's 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Legacy, encouraging Londoners to do something great for their city.
Thanks to his Campaign, HIther Green Lane will be getting six new planters, big bountiful planters filled with gorgeous colourful planting.
Like these but with more plants! We will be announcing a big planting day shortly and hope to have lots of local Hither Greenies taking part.
WANTED: Old orchards for restoration!
WANTED! Old orchards for community restoration project this winter!
The London Orchard Project are looking for old orchards and community groups to partner with this winter as part of our restoration project.
Our 'Rediscovering London's Lost Orchard Heritage' programme will be continued from last year where we successfully began to restore 4 mature orchards, extending the lives of the trees that make up this important habitat while increasing their productivity and in some cases planting new trees for habitat continuation.
This year we're again looking for old orchards to get to work on this winter. Do you know of an old orchard that looks neglected and in need of some love? Are you part of a community who wants 'hands-on' learning about restorative pruning of fruit trees?
Then please contact [email protected].

"Shuffling AMPA Receptors: TARPs and Synaptic Plasticity"
Excitatory synaptic transmission occurs when presynaptic glutamate is released and activates postsynaptic AMPA receptors. Synaptic plasticity, or the fine-tuning in the strength of synaptic transmission that underlies such phenomena as learning and memory, occurs when AMPA receptors are shuttled into and out of the postsynaptic membrane. A family of four proteins (gamma-2, gamma-3, gamma-4, and gamma-8), called transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs), facilitate AMPA receptor trafficking, and one family member, gamma-2, is required for membrane expression of functional AMPA receptors in cerebellar granule cells. Deletion of gamma-2 alone is not sufficient to eliminate AMPA receptor activity or synaptic plasticity in other other neurons, consistent with the expression of additional TARP family members in these areas. By eliminating all TARPs, I propose to demonstrate a requirement for these proteins for functional AMPA receptor expression throughout the brain, using electrophysiological investigations of genetically-modified mice. These studies, which will focus initially on the hippocampus (an area critical for learning and memory), may also yield insight into the specific roles of individual TARP family members.

Ichiro Ozawa, possible Prime Minister of Japan, thinks Americans are "simple-minded". His words reminded me of a description of Americans given by a fictitious Japanese Prime Minister,
They have the most violent culture in the world, yet they worship justice. They venerate making money, but their roots are found in ideals.
While we're talking about Japanese politicos (real or imagined), Kazutaka Sangen, mayor of Taiji, has spoken out against certain people whose sole desire is to see Japanese whale hunts (like Taiji's dolphin hunts) end. His words seem to eliminate any room for discussion,
We will pass down the history of our ancestors to the next generation, preserve it. We have a strong sense of pride about this. So we are not going to change our plans for the town based on the criticism of foreigners.
Game. Set. Match. Way to stick up for multiculturalism Mayor Kazutaka. Though "foreigners" doesn't quite do justice to the word which you probably said: gaijin.
On to the linkage…
About as a heart-warming story as you're going to read…I understood why Bengals wideout Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco (Chad Eight Five), 85 is his number after all. You'd think with how tech-savvy Chad is, he could have plugged in "eighty-five" into Google Translate and found out that the correct Spanish translation is ochenta y cinco, not ochocinco. Oh well, at least he has his own cereal, mistranslated name and all… Mohler demolishes so-called theistic evolution…Jennifer Aniston's latest offering flops at the box office, big surprise since she seems to want to resurrect the chest-clutching Rachel Green character in every one of her movies… Jim Furyk gets DQ'd from a PGA tournament because his cell phone alarm doesn't go off, oops…Ever watch that Tea Party Scene in Disney's Alice in Wonderland? The masterminds who orchestrated it were the March Hare and the Mad Hatter (below). Perhaps that's what we can call these 2 billionaires who are the masterminds behind the populist Tea Party movement…

Bush's Tots
February 16, 2010 by Laz Leave a comment
Well, it has been a month and one day since I've shown my face around here. Why that has been the case, I'm not sure, it's not like there has been a lack of things to blog about.
There have been plenty but I guess no one thing was enough to drag me out of my shell until I caught the following piece cited at one of my daily haunts, Barking Carnival:
While Bush lives high, hometown scholarship reportedly runs dry
The Bush the story is about is of course, former USC great and now Super Bowl champion, Reggie Bush. Here's Reggie getting sandwiched by Michael Huff and Aaron Ross,
With his deftness in not keeping his promises, it is obvious that Reggie is preparing for a future career in politics. How boss would it be to have Kim Kardashian as FLOTUS? Of course, Reggie might not have prayer since it's hard to see how people are going to want another Bush at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This post is dedicated to Reggie Bush's obvious source of inspiration in all this, Michael Scott.

Texans Drop a Deuce on Opening Day
September 14, 2009 by Laz Leave a comment
[Disclaimer: Yes I know it is only one game]
Well technically since the mascot is a bull, I guess they dropped a cow patty.
Boy, what a pathetic excuse for an NFL team the Houston Texans have been in the 8 years of their miserable existence. It seems that year in, year out we see the same story played out here in H-town. This is from last year's opener:
The Texans Train Wreck Begins…
Every off-season the local sports radio crowd, especially on Sportsradio 610, do their best to hype up the Texans. Couldn't be because they're the official radio home of the Texans, could it? Nah…
Most, if not all, of the hosts have the Texans in the playoffs. To quote the always personable Jim Mora, "Playoffs?!?" In all fairness that could still happen, but hard to see with the way the team threw up all over themselves yesterday.
Every year, most of the "long-time" Texans fans in our fair city get their hopes up only to have them come crashing down in a most spectacular manner after witnessing the season opener.
Leading the idealistic charge are the grown men who paint their mugs like so many clowns and make spectacles of themselves at Reliant Stadium, as chronicled here and here:
Karren Warren – Houston Chronicle
Last year it was the Steelers, yesterday it was the New York Jets, who oh by the way trotted out a rookie starting quarterback, who for now, dashed the dreams of a frustrated fan base, which actually booed the Texans during the game yesterday.
As I did last year, I'll leave the commentary to the local experten.
One thing begs to be pointed out, it's not that the Texans lose but how they lose and that for the past 8 years, they've lost for the same reasons: jittery QB play, a timidity to rushing the opposing QB and last but certainly not least, an offensive line that is allergic to protecting the quarterback.
The latter was in plain view yesterday, especially when Jets' Nose Tackle Kris Jenkins shoved aside Texans' center Chris Myers as if he were filled with straw.
I don't know, maybe we all should have seen yesterday's joke of a game coming, given what happened the day before to the mascot of the University of Virginia. The same university Texans QB Matt Schaub attended.
The position Schaub assumed above was also assumed by his alma mater's mascot, "CavMan", after the latter was literally thrown off his horse. Here's the vid:
Here's to another grand season from your Houston Texans!

I used to own NFL Quarterback Club '99 for the N64 back in the day. Though Brett Favre graced the cover, it was then Houston Oiler Steve McNair who was the best QB in that game. Here's an action shot of him before Bud took my beloved Oilers to Nashville,
So maybe the game's designers didn't make 'Air McNair' the best passer, but he was unstoppable as a runner. If you were d'ing up on him, you had better bring the cavalry.
I remember playing with McNair's digitized version and being able to convert 4th and long using his prodigious running abilities.
While much has been written about whether or not the circumstances of his death should 'tarnish' his legacy, I found the words of Houston Chronicle columnist, Richard Justice very poignant,
Listen, I don't know what happened to Steve McNair. I don't know what happened or why.
I just know that all of [us] live our lives in layers, that it's hard to evaluate a living, breathing human with a single brush.

Colt McCoy Feels Kurt Warner's Pain
February 2, 2009 by Laz Leave a comment
First off, last night's Super Bowl was simply amazing. It was the kind of game that us football fans pine for as a send off to a brutally long off-season. Though I was rooting for the Cardinals, major props to the Steelers on the win.
Especially to former Longhorn great, and current Pittsburgh nose tackle, Casey Hampton on winning his second ring. I actually met Mr. Hampton on Sixth Street a few years ago.
He was a mountain of a man then, and from the looks of it, he's still growing (below).
If only the NFL could find me a helmet that fit…
Secondly, I'm fully aware that the college game is nothing like the pro game. There is much more (seemingly) at stake in the NFL than there is in college football, even at its highest level. So let that be established, that the NFL is vastly different than NCAA football.
This contrast is increased when one compares a regular season game (even if it's between the #1 team and the #6 team) with the freakin' Super Bowl, which I'm about to do.
For me, last night's game picked a slowly-healing scab. Why?
Because I know how Arizona Cardinal fan felt at the end of the game.
I felt the same way last November 1st, when Colt McCoy drove the Longhorns the length of the field on a drive that culminated on a seemingly game-clinching touchdown against Texas Tech. Only to have the opposing QB and WR (Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree, respectively) make an eye-popping play to steal the win.
The loss cost the Longhorn a shot at the national title and will long fester in the soul of Longhorn Nation. Yes, it was not the Super Bowl but that doesn't lessen the 'pain'.
Last night, QB Kurt Warner seemingly led his Arizona Cardinals on a seemingly game-winning drive, ending in WR Larry Fitzgerald's clutch 64-yard TD reception.
However, as in the Texas game, there was just enough time left on the clock to allow the opposing team to craft a dramatic game-clinching drive (Roethlisberger playing Harrell to Santonio Holmes' Crabtree).
Here is a shot of Kurt Warner after the game, the agony on his face is manifest:

An NFL Orphan's Heart Flutters
December 16, 2008 by Laz 1 Comment
As previously posted, yours truly is an NFL orphan. Why? Well in brief, the NFL team of my childhood and formative years, the Houston Oilers, packed up and left and became the Tennessee Titans.
This past Sunday, the local extant NFL franchise, the Houston Texans matched up against the extinct one, the Titans, at Reliant Stadium.
Strangely enough, the Texans beat the Titans at their own game (smashmouth football and defense) and pulled one out, but even stranger was the fact that I found myself rooting for the Texans.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to pledge the half-hearted allegiance I have to the Titans to Houston's current team, but the inspired play of the Texans at least proved that this is not outside the realm of possibility.
The fact that our son, in all likelihood, will grow up a Texans fan will no doubt bury my attachment to the Titans, that and the classless and toolish comments made by a couple of sore loser Titan players after the game:
"They weren't doing that well, but it was their Super Bowl and credit them for being the good team today" –Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan
"It's a big win for them as an organization, (but) no matter what they do, they'll still go home (during the) playoffs. We have a lot to look forward to." — Titans running back LenDale White
Far easier to root for guys like Texan Wide Receiver Andre Johnson who have all the talent in the world and remain humble in victory and defeat.
Here's a shot of Johnson scoring the game's only touchdown,

Michael Vick's Pay Cut
November 19, 2008 by Laz 5 Comments
Our economy is not the strongest that much is clear. Perhaps no one has taken a bigger pay cut in the last couple of years than former Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick.
Granted, his "pay cut" was due to a rash of bad decisions he made which subsequently landed him in the clink.
According to this story, "Vick wants to play, but what team would risk it?",
In 2006 [Vick] made nearly $15 million. Recently he reported total income of $12.89 for an entire month.
That's $12.89 as in 12 dollars and 89 cents. This from someone who, before things went terribly bad, categorized a $1,000 check to his mother as "chump change."
Guau… Provided my math is correct, that is a 97,000% pay cut. Ouch!
Here's Vick making $7211/hr.
Streeter Lecka / Getty Images
Here is an excerpt from Vick's statement after pleading guilty to dogfighting charges,
I'm upset with myself, and, you know, through this situation I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. And I think that's the right thing to do as of right now.
Here's hoping that during his time in prison was spent fruitfully in nurturing the relationship he claims to have found, though to be sure it is Jesus who found him and not the other way around.
As for his return to the NFL, why not? It's not like dog fighting is the unforgivable sin…

Maverick (n.) – an independent individual who does not go along with a group or party
If one were to ask some of our most politically minded individuals (or Sarah Palin) to name the first person who comes to their mind after hearing this word, the tabulated answer would probably be this man:
Meanwhile, others who are not so politically wired might name either one of the 2 gentleman here:
Not into movies? Then you might drag Brett Favre into the conversation (I hope the recent allegations levied against him are not true).
As for me, a blogger just trying to get a hit (get your mind out of the gutter), I wouldn't go with any of the aforementioned people.
Who do I think of when I hear "maverick"? Larry David (below).
I think of Mr. David only because my "maverick" bears a striking resemblance to the Seinfeld (this show is so good that it made me like NYC) co-creator.
My "maverick" (let's call him "Larry") rides my commuter bus in the morning. Everyday, "Larry" makes use of our converted charter bus' ventral luggage compartment by cramming his 10-speed in there.
Inevitably, people stare at him through the whole process. Even people who see him do this day in and day out, I'm guilty as charged.
People from all walks of life stare at him, from the suburbanites cocooned inside the bus to the homeless dudes who gather at "Larry's" Med Center stop (Fannin at McGregor).
So why's "Larry" a maverick? Because despite the hushed whispers and incredulous looks from fellow passengers (he makes us all late to work) and homeless people (their "c'mon man!" glares betray the fact that they all think he's crazy), "Larry" keeps keepin' on by making his bike every bit the commuter that he is.
So here's to you, Ler and your maverick spirit, Dallas Maverick owner Mark Cuban's got nothing on you.

Houston Texans Continue Winning Tradition
October 7, 2008 by Laz 1 Comment
Instead of delving into an in depth analysis of the Houston Texans' seemingly bottomless ability to invent new ways to lose ballgames, I instead present this picture taken by Houston Chronicle photog, Brett Coomer,
Hope it was worth it for these two "long time" Texans fans.
That's why the Texans lost, the guy on the right wore the Battle Red jersey on Deep Steel Blue Day!

Brady Quinn Will Be "Ready"
September 25, 2008 by Laz 1 Comment
I don't like Notre Dame, never have and probably never will. This dislike was aggravated when they beat my Longhorns in consecutive years while I was a student there. I was there for the second one (1996) and the 'Horns almost pulled it out but the golden aura overcame them.
To be fair, the dislike is attenuated every time I watch Rudy, hey nobody is perfect.
The national media hypes up this program everytime they have a winning record, and that hype extends to Irish players. I know there have been great Irish players that have parlayed their success in the NFL.
But for every Montana, or Theismann you have a Mirer or a Powlus. As for the most recently hyped up Irish signal caller, Brady Quinn, the jury is still out as to his NFL viability. With the Cleveland Browns, he's had to sit behind surprise starter QB Derek Anderson who came alive last season.
Enter this season, Anderson finds himself struggling and while, Head Coach Romeo Crennel recently asserted as ,
Anderson is the starter and [Brady] Quinn will be ready.
Does this mean that Anderson is on a short leash? That Quinn will get the call at the first sign of Anderson going Matt Schaub?
Not that reflecting on Cleveland Browns football occupies a significant portion of my time (waking or otherwise), but I do hope that Brady Quinn gets the opportunity to justify the existence of this ridiculous shirt:
Truth be told this shirt is the reason for this post and truth be told, I don't think anything Brady Quinn does can or will ever justify this shirt. So, where can I get one?

In other words, if you choose the lights that are too bright for your fish they will irritate them and provoke different illnesses; and the lack of light will prevent algae from gaining necessary nutrients, making them rot. In this water your fish will suffocate.
Right illumination will adorn your little sea and prevent fish diseases. Ideally, fish require natural sunlight. Common lamp can't provide it, it emit only white light. Besides, incandescent lamps release much heat and in case of overheat can break or fall in water which will lead to unfortunate results. Moreover, this type of light consumes lots of electrical energy.
Our engineers have found a solution to this problem creating led lighting fixtures 'Aqua' that provide full light spectrum (white, red, green, blue colors), re-creating natural lighting. These fixtures have light compact housing; they don't heat up and, moreover, they are environmentally friendly. Thanks to their universal holdfasts they can be easily mounted into any aquarium: square, round or panoramic.
For the large-volume aquariums we produce LED lenses with 90°viewing angle that can illuminate aquarium of any size. These lighting fixtures will be suitable for terrariums and industrial aquariums as well. At the same time its power consumption is just 6W.
LED lamps will help you solve illumination problems and make your or your friends' aquarium a true work of art admired by everyone.
And, what is more important, you can be sure about the safety of your pets: under this led sun they will be perfectly fine.


This does not shoe oil pressure?
It depends on the vehicle. What year, make, model do you have?
Oil pressure is perhaps one of the most important and useful gauges, yet it is not an OBDII standardized gauge and as such is not supported by UltraGauge. The intent of the OBDII port was more to do with emissions, and the gauges available are typically emissions related. Since oil pressure has no impact upon emissions, the standards folks did not include it.
Interesting! So, is there data being submitted to the OBD that includes oil pressure but data reading hasn't been recognized for it or is this data not streamed to the OBD system at all? I have wondered about this as virtually all later model cars use low oil pressure readings to trigger an oil warning light.
Each of the vehicle manufacturers have a mountain of data they collect. However, they make very little of it openly available through the OBDII interface. Typically the newer the vehicle, the more data that is available through the OBDII.
There are manufacturer speciifc codes that can access the hidden data, but the codes are not made public. Many such codes have leaked out. Soon UG will support such codes, currently UG does not.
I hope the UG engineers are able to find and decipher oil pressure data. That would be great gauge to have and monitor. I'd also like oil temperature but I'm pretty sure my Focust doesn't have such a sensor, relaying on the coolant for judging engine temp conditions.
With my vehicle, 2004 GMC Envoy, even though the instrument panel has an oil pressure gauge, the engine only uses a simple On/Off oil pressure switch. The PCM (ECM) comes up with a pressure reading for the gauge based on RPM and the state of the oil pressure switch.


The Broome rental market is slowly stabilising again after the wet season. Last week we leased 10 properties in one week and more than 80 properties overall in the past 12 weeks. That is on average 1 property per day.
While leasing activity is slightly down from this time last year tenants are not moving house with the same frequency they once were, preferring to stay put for longer periods. In 2018 the vacancy rate was 3.97% whereas in 2019 for the same period the vacancy rate is 3.26%.
The number of days on market remains about the same so it is still a competitive market. With school holidays just around the corner we know it will get even busier. Now is a perfect time to list your property to rent as we have quality tenants looking for various terms in accommodation. Renters are serious about finding a new home and with our experience and expertise you can be assured that your rental property is in great hands.

Here's a really neat video concept from the folks at 9.8 in Russia…they cut the video with vintage stills of what the shooting locations used to look like. Cool idea, and great tricks!
The XLR8 is a hybrid model containing a metal body with celcon rims. These celcon rims have an extremely smooth feel on the outer edges, making grind tricks easy. The metal body balances the yo-yo perfectly, which will allow your style to look smoother than ever.
Not only does this yo-yo have the smooth feel inside and out, but also its shape is designed for modern day yo-yoing — low cut walls and rounded rims. It feels just right in the hand. The yo-yo comes stocked with YoYoJam's Solid Spin Axle system, 10 Ball Speed Bearing, and silicone response to generate a smoother style.
We don't have a lot of details (other than the marketing copy above) on the new YoYoJam XLR8 yoyo being released at Worlds this year, but from this promo video we've figured out a few key details about YoYoJam and the XLR8.
XLR8 has a really wide gap and an insanely open profile.
YoYoJam forces their apprentice team members to identify themselves via secret handshake.
Two out of three YoYoJam apprentices are really short.
Anthony Rojas dropped a burly kendama video today and as you'd expect, it's some next level business. There are some concepts that should look familiar to yoyo players, and it's nice to see their evolution as kendama tricks. Kendama by Sweets Kendamas.
Rotofugi launched a new colorway of the Triple Crown Monster vinyl figures at this years San Diego Comic Con, and they've finally released the leftovers online.
This latest edition of the Triple Crown of YoYo mascot is lavender, and available painted or unpainted. Unpainted version retails for $70 each, and painted versions are $100 each. The Triple Crown Monster is the official mascot of the Triple Crown of YoYo, a yoyo contest series that André Boulay, Seth Peterson, and myself started back in 2011. The monster was designed by Chris Ryniak, and sculpted by Shinbone Creative. The vinyl figures are produced by Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi.

Background: Branchial cleft anomalies are the second-most common congenital malformation in the head-and-neck region. They arise from persistent ruminants of pharyngeal clefts and pouches and are classified into four distinct types; the most prevalent one is type 2, which involves the sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCM). The definitive treatment for the four types is complete surgical excision of the anomaly. Objective: The present study describes the clinical features and surgical outcomes for both unilateral and bilateral branchial cleft cysts at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia. Design and Setting: This retrospective study involved collecting data from patients' records of King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Saudi Arabia, who had surgical excision for branchial cleft cyst in the duration between January 2010 and September 2020. The collected data included patients' demographics, characters of the branchial anomaly, complications, and characters of the procedure. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS v. 20. for both descriptive and comparative analysis. Results: A total of 18 cases were eligible for inclusion. Of the whole cohort, 55.6% were females. All cases were type 2, with the majority being in the anterior border of sternoclenomastoid (83.3%) and unilateral (77.8%). Discharge was reported as the most common complication, occurring among half of the patients. The diagnostic investigation was only performed in situations of recurrence (22.2%). The prevalence of the bilateral cyst is 22.2%. There was no statistically significant association between the associated genetic disease and the unilateral or bilateral cysts (P = 0.054). Conclusion: Type 2 unilateral cysts are the most prevalent for the examined population, specifically on the anterior border of SCM. A low recurrence rate and low incidence of complications propose an effective management strategy.

Saudi J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Surg [serial online] 2022 [cited 2023 Jan 27];24:89-92. Available from: https://www.sjohns.org/text.asp?2022/24/3/89/353715
The primary etiology of branchial cleft anomalies is the incomplete obliteration of branchial clefts and pouches during embryogenesis.[1] These anomalies usually arise when the pouches, arches, or grooves of the branchial apparatus fail to resolve and fuse, leading to disconnection of the mucosa to the skin.[2] Cysts, fistulas, sinuses, or cartilaginous remnants develop in the early stages of life; however, the severity of the anomalies varies among patients.[1]
Branchial cleft anomalies represent about 30% of all congenital neck diseases.[3] Nevertheless, this number could be underestimated as some anomalies may remain undiagnosed until adulthood, while most cases are already diagnosed in early adulthood.[1] This delayed diagnosis is more attributed to cysts than sinuses or fistulae, which can be explained by the more observable skin lesions requiring almost chronic drainage via cervical sinus openings.[4],[5]
Branchial cleft anomalies are classified into four distinct groups, with type 2 being the most prevalent, accounting for between 69% and 90% of all branchial anomalies worldwide.[6],[7] Type 2 branchial cleft anomalies are defined as an anomaly occurring in the sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCM), most commonly along the anterior border, lined by squamous epithelium.[4] The clinical presentation of this type of branchial anomaly is commonly a stable, nontender, lateral mass in the neck that slowly enlarges. However, the mass enlargement may worsen during upper respiratory tract infections, leading to dysphagia torticollis and respiratory compromise.[5]
Complete excision of the branchial cleft anomaly showed positive prognostic outcomes.[4] Accordingly, any surgical intervention should be assessed and tailored to the type and origin of the anomaly. The stepladder surgical technique with two separate transverse incisions is currently recommended as the definitive cure.[8] It should be mentioned that inadequate presurgical assessments or incomplete excisions can result in unfavorable outcomes in terms of a high recurrence rate.[7]
This study aims to describe the characteristics of unilateral and bilateral branchial cleft cysts and surgical outcomes for patients operated at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSHRC), Saudi Arabia.
This retrospective study included patients who had a surgical excision by stepladder incisions with help of methylene blue local injection for suspected co-occurrence of fistula either unilateral or bilateral branchial cleft cyst at KFSHRC, Riyadh-Saudi Arabia, in the duration between January 1, 2010, and September 30, 2020.
The research team collected data retrospectively from patients' records. The collected data included information about patients' demographics, clinical characters of the anomaly (type, location, and side), presence or absence of sinus, the incidence of complications, investigations, surgical technique, and recurrence.
Collected information was entered into an excel sheet, which was predesigned for data collection. Continuous data were expressed as a mean and associated standard deviation, and categorical data were expressed as either absolute values or percentages. Comparison between variables was conducted via either a t-test (for normally distributed variables), Mann–Whitney test (for nonnormally distributed variables) for numerical dependent variables, or Chi-square for categorical dependent variables. A value of P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Data were analyzed via IBM SPSS v. 20 IBM Corporation, Armonk (N.Y., USA).
Patient privacy and medical confidentiality were maintained through de-characterization of patient records, with initial screening and anonymity being insured by hospital staff.
This study included 18 patients; a description of their clinical features is described below.
Demographics of patients and characters of anomalies
The included patients' age ranged between 1–47 years old, with a mean age of 11.83 ± 14.093 years. More than 50% of patients were females 10 (55.6%). As for the clinical features of the cysts, all patients had second branchial cleft cyst 18 (100%), and the majority, 15 (83.3%), had the cyst anterior to the border of SCM. Most patients have unilateral branchial cleft cysts 14 (77.8%). The sinus was present among 11 (61.1%) patients.
Concerning complications, 50% 9 (50%) reported discharge, and 7 (38.9%) had no fever. No one was suffering difficulty in breathing or swallowing, and no one had a family history, but only one patient (5.6%) reported an associated genetic disease. The vast majority suffered no complications (94.4%), whereas only one patient (5.6%) experienced blood loss of 50 ml.
Furthermore, diagnostic investigations were performed for only 4 (22.2%) of patients; of these, 3 (16.7%) performed computed tomography (CT) scans, and only one patient (5.6%) performed both CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). More than half of the patients were treated with the use of methylene blue (61.1%), and 3 (16.7%) underwent complementary tonsillectomy and tie and all of them were unilateral cases. Most of the patients suffered no recurrence (77.8%), as described in [Table 1]. While the recurrence rate of 22.2% which was attributed to inadequate surgical excision of the tract for which they were scheduled for revision surgery later on.
Table 1: Demographics and clinical characteristics of the patients
Correlation between location of the cyst and other factors
Using Chi-square testing, the site of cysts has been compared over family history and the presence/absence of associated genetic disease. It was found that there was no statistically significant association between the associated genetic disease and the unilateral or bilateral cysts (P = 0.05), as described in [Table 2].
Table 2: Correlations between factors and cysts
Although branchial cleft cysts are among the most frequent neck and head congenital malformations, the clinical features and surgical management of branchial anomalies in the gulf area, particularly in Saudi Arabia, are still very sparse. Consequently, the present study aimed to describe the outcomes, complications, and recurrence of branchial cleft cysts, either on unilateral or bilateral sites, after surgical excision in Saudi Arabia.
The present study demonstrated that the mean age for the included cohort was 11.83 years old, with females showing slightly higher presentations than males. This age was higher than the average reported in a previous study that focused on patients presenting with different malformations, where the average age was 3.6 years, 4.1 years, and 2.6 years for sinus, cysts, and fistulas, respectively.[9]
This difference can be attributed to multiple reasons. In the present study, age was recorded in patients' records at the time of admission, which might not reflect the actual age at the time of diagnosis. In addition, the small sample size in the present study might have affected the mean age calculation. Furthermore, some patients may have had their surgery delayed or postponed for multiple reasons. Turning to gender distribution, a similar representation for females was also identified in another study, which reported a 2:1 ratio for gender selectivity.[10]
Clinical features of the branchial cleft cysts were extensively examined. The present study demonstrated that all patients had type 2 branchial anomalies supported by other studies that reported type 2 branchial anomalies as the dominant type.[9],[11] Nevertheless, some studies also classified sinus as the most prevalent type.[12] In addition, the location of the cysts varied among unilateral and bilateral sites, where unilateral cysts at the anterior border of the SCM were the prevalent disposition in the present study. This location has also been supported by other published literature.[13],[14]
The diagnosis and surgical management were also evaluated. The present study revealed that only 22.2% had a record of imaging investigations, with four patients requiring a CT scan and one patient requiring an MRI. Methylene blue was administered in over half of the included cohort, and tonsillectomy and tie were the most frequent surgeries performed due to fistula occurrence which estimated to be 16.7%. These figures are compliant with the medical literature, where methylene blue is well established to facilitate surgery; however, the injection of methylene blue does not necessarily demonstrate the entire extent of the anomalies as it may be blocked by secretions.[15] Hence, using methylene blue seemed to reduce the recurrence in our cohort.
Surgical excision for the treatment of type 2 branchial anomalies is known to be effective, and significant complications are rare. Only minor complications that do not require surgical intervention were reported, including stitch extrusion, minor wound infections, and seromas.[10],[13] In the present study, only one patient reported a blood loss of 50 ml, indicating that all procedures were competently performed. However, 22.2% of patients suffered a recurrence, which is just over the reported recurrence rate for such procedures in the literature (14%–22%),[16] which requires further assessment in future studies.
It is worth mentioning that the present study was limited by the retrospective nature of the collected data, which might have led to inaccuracies or missing information. Furthermore, the small sample size of the included patients may have affected reaching statistical significance for comparative analysis. These limitations should be taken into consideration in future studies.
Type 2 unilateral SCM branchial cleft cysts were the most common form of branchial cleft anomalies. Surgical interventions with the use of methylene blue showed high levels of effectiveness as well as safety, with no indication of significant complications. There was no significant association between the associated genetic disease and the unilateral or bilateral cysts. Future studies should focus on evaluating postsurgical care. A Robust study design should also be adopted, including multi-center data collection, prospective design, and recruiting a larger sample size.

A few nights ago, I had probably the quickest date of my life. I went back on Plenty of Fish (an online dating site) mostly so I have stories to blog about. This guy sent me a message a few weeks ago. We chatted a couple times and then exchanged phone numbers. We sent a couple text messages and then nothing.
About a week ago, I got a call from him. I had programmed him into my phone so I knew who it was. I didn't answer and he didn't leave a message. The next day I sent him a text asking if he had called? He said he did. Then we exchanged a couple very general text messages - how are you? great weather, isn't it? Etc, etc.
A couple nights ago I get a call from this guy. I decide to answer. "Hello" I say. He says "Hi". I say "Hello". I know who it is because I saved the contact , but he doesn't know I know who it is. This drives me crazy. I've had this happen before - a person I meet online, whom I've never spoken to, calls for the first time and doesn't identify himself. Really?? I have very good friends that I talk to on a weekly basis who still identify themselves when calling on the phone.
So he said he was going to the casino in Delaware Park for the a few hours and he just happens to be passing by where I live. He asks if I want to go with him. Well I'm generally a spontaneous person and have a little adventure in me. So for a brief second I consider it. But I say no and give a list of lame reasons – I have to work tomorrow, I just finished mowing the lawn and it would take me forever to get ready, yada, yada, yada. He said he just pulled over to wait for me.
Well, I figure if I get to the mall where he was waiting I'd convince him to go for a drink or dinner so we could get to know each other. Turned out he was meeting a friend at Delaware Park and can't blow him off. So we made tentative plans to meet on Thursday, he gave me a hug and off he went. I was with him for about 10 minutes. The quickest date ever.
He did call later to apologize for being a d**k for not staying and going to dinner.
Well, I wish the story had a more interesting ending, but after exchanging a couple voice messages, we never talked and never went for a follow-up dinner.

General Motors is offering detailed revenue goals for its electric vehicle business and new info about plans for new models.
Driving the news: Here are the juicy bits of their investor presentation and announcements Wednesday.
GM's gunning for "leadership in EV market share" — a shot across Tesla's bow — with a broad portfolio of high-volume EVs.
These include a $30,000 Chevrolet crossover SUV, and an electric Chevrolet Silverado pickup, Buick crossovers and Cadillac EVs.
Overall, as part of wider plans to double revenues over the next decade, GM sees $90 billion in revenues from EVs in 2030.
And that doesn't even include the $10 billion they project from its new BrightDrop line of electric delivery vehicles.
The intrigue: Beyond vehicles, GM announced a collaboration with GE to boost supplies of rare earth materials used in EVs and renewable power.
GM also said it's increasing its investment in charging infrastructure to about $750 million through 2025.
The bottom line: GM's betting big on the transition to cars and trucks with a plug, even as it also sees a long-term future for gas-powered models.

Congressional report finds toxic metals in baby food brands

A congressional investigation has found levels of arsenic, lead and other toxic metals in many popular baby foods, including organic brands.
In a report released Thursday, a U.S. House Subcommittee said it requested internal data from seven companies, including Walmart and Gerber, in 2019.
The data showed levels of arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury, even though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers those harmful to human health. The metals can remain in the environment for decades from past pesticide and herbicide use.
Baby food makers and the FDA say the metals are in many foods, and they are making progress in removing them.'
The FDA released a statement to the Associated Press:
"We acknowledge that there is more work to be done, but the FDA reiterates its strong commitment to continue to reduce consumer exposure to toxic elements and other contaminants," the FDA said.
The report follows a previous study by Healthy Babies, Healthy Futures, which found that 95% of commercially produced baby food contains toxic metals.
"These four harmful metals are found in all food – not just baby food. They occur naturally or from pollution in the environment. Crops absorb them from soil and water, and they are even found in organic food. Their presence in baby food raises unique concern, because babies are more sensitive to the toxic impacts," the group said.


The 143rd annual edition of the Westminster Kennel Club and Dog Show is a little over a month away. The 2019 show will be held once again in New York City on Monday & Tuesday, February 11-12. This year, two new breeds will be making their official debut in the competition. Grand Basset Griffon Vendéen (also know as "GBGV" or "Grand"), an active and never high-strung scent hound out of France known as a poor man's hunting dog, will compete in the Hound Group. Nederlandse Kooikerhondje (pronounced Coy-ker-hund-tsje), a small dog with a big personality, will compete in the Sporting Group.
Since 2016, a total of 10 new breeds have been added to the competition. Last year the American Hairless Terrier, Bergamasco Shepherd, Cirneco dell'Etna, Boerboel, Berger Picard, Lagotto Romagnolo, Miniature American Shepherd, and Pumi made their debuts.

Pellegrini fighting for his job ahead of Saints clash
West Ham's Manuel Pellegrini fighting for his job ahead of Southampton game
By Press Association News Agency
MANUEL Pellegrini is facing a fight to save his West Ham future following the club's seventh defeat in nine Premier League matches.
The Hammers sit just one point above the relegation zone after Arsenal secured a 3-1 victory at the London Stadium on Monday night.
It has been reported that Pellegrini's shaky tenure will be extended into this weekend's match against Saints, but defeat against Ralph Hasenhuttl's side could cost the Chilean his job.
Pellegrini enjoyed a strong start to his second season at the London Stadium as West Ham won three of their opening six league matches.
But the former Manchester City boss, 66, has overseen just one victory in the Hammers' last 11 matches, with the club facing the distinct possibility of a relegation scrap unless results dramatically improve.
Angelo Ogbonna gave the hosts a 1-0 interval lead on Monday evening only for the Gunners to score three times in nine second-half minutes to condemn Pellegrini to his latest loss.
Pellegrini was roundly booed by the disgruntled home fans for his decision to replace Felipe Anderson with Sebastian Haller moments after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the visitors' third.
But the Brazilian, who has failed to find the net this season despite starting 15 of West Ham's 16 league appearances, says it is down to him to recapture his form.
"This is the worst phase I have been going through with the team," said Anderson, who scored nine goals in his debut campaign with West Ham last season after signing from Lazio.
"When I arrived it was hard but we started winning and I started to show my potential by helping the team with goals, assists and dribbles, and right now things are not working out as we want.
"Things have to improve and I have to improve to be able to help the team.
"As I always say, this is a collective game. If I don't score and the team wins, I'm happy, but if I don't score and the team loses and I couldn't help the team as I want to, it's difficult but we need to keep working."

News and notes: Jeff Bonivert, Jupiter's Legacy, NFL RUSH, Max Steel at Viz, Face Off
News has been piling up like cordwood…this is where we stack it up in the woodshed.
¶ The website of the Flying Colors comic shop has a whole section devoted to comics by Jeff Bonivert including, for a limited time, an entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic. They are also posting new comics about the store mascot, Captain Four Color. This is such a natural for comics shops, we're surprised more don't do it.
¶ The Hollywood Reporter previewed HUPITER'S LEGACY by Mark Millar and Frank Quitely. It's Frank Quitely so it's all good.
¶ Just the other day we were pining for NFL SuperPro, and now Action Lab is releasing a line of comic books based on NFL RUSH ZONE: Season of the Guardians. The comics will debut at the NFL Experience prior to this year's Super Bowl.
David Dwonch, Action Lab's Creative Director, added, "The NFL RUSH ZONE comic book series is based on football–America's most popular sport. Each publication features NFL players and teams as they work with the characters from the animated TV show to protect their Megacore."
Each issue of the NFL RUSH ZONE comic book series features Ishmael "Ish" Taylor, an eleven-year old boy who serves as the primary protagonist, as well as other NFL Guardians. Guardians are the chosen young protectors of the players and their teams. Issues will feature current NFL players and one or more NFL Rusher, who assists the Guardians in protecting the NFL and the world from would-be conquerors. Each of the 32 NFL teams has Rusherz, and over time every team will have stories directly related to their games.
The world needs football comic books.
¶ Viz is doing more original graphic novels–but not manga. Instead it's licensed MAX STEEL comics, based on the new cartoon debuting on Disney XD in March, as part of their Viz Kids line.
Max Steel is the ultimate aspirational teen hero with a secret! The story revolves around the trials and tribulations of a teenaged boy named Maxwell McGrath™ and his out-of-this world alien companion, Steel. Both have super strengths and powers, Max with Turbo energy and Steel with alien intellect. Steel gives Maxwell the ability to harness his power while merging his own to create one unified super force, Max Steel. When they combine forces to create Max Steel, the ultimate superhero is unleashed- unlocking their inner heroes.
¶ Recently, Dan DiDio and Jim Lee guested on an episode of Face Off, the makeup reality show. The winner of the episode was Anthony Kosar, and his character, The Infernal Core, appears in today's JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #16.

I'm not sure if you were trying to be snarky about the NFL Rush Zone comic book, but it looks like the kids at the NFL Experience today want it judging by these pics that Action Lab has posted on their twitter feed:
https://twitter.com/ActionLab/status/296669094806163456/photo/1
At least a publisher is making an effort to make a comic to get in the hands of children.
You may not like football, you may not like football comics, but there are those who do and maybe it could lead to a new reader base that branches out to read other comics.

One of the most credible forms of validating a service is customer reviews and past experiences with a company. Below is a testimonial by Kevin Leadford on a conference table he purchased that was finished by Oios Metals. Contact us for a quote today.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my overwhelming satisfaction with our new conference table. It's a stunning display of craftsmanship and I simply couldn't be more pleased. It was easy to transport and assembled within minutes (everything lined up exactly, no buckles or tension, etc…). I was also delighted with the quick turnaround.
But mostly, I want to say that the result is a breathtaking and flawless work of art that looks as good in application as we could have imagined. It has generated such a buzz that yesterday; people were coming from all over the office park to get a look. As you well know, that's just the reaction we were hoping to achieve.
Oios is a first class operation on all counts. Their work isn't cheap, but both the execution and results exhibit a level of quality that's rarely matched. Because we serve the same customers and markets that they do, I believe my comments in this regard are uncommonly well informed.
I'd also like to thank you for your personal contribution. It may not be so obvious, but your role was critical. You were able to interpret my broad-sweeping notions and quickly translate them into physical product.
That's precisely what I needed, and something that makes you an invaluable asset to Kacey's.
Please share my exuberance with all. And, if there's ever anything we can do for either Kacey's or Oios, please don't hesitate to ask.


countries/organisations who do not yet have a training program, but would like to develop one quickly and to the highest standards.
The first main project has been the creation of a standard qualification level for MTB instructor-guides across Europe, with the EO-MTBing European licence. EO-MTBing stands for European Organisation of Mountain Bike Instructur-Guides. EO-MTBing is a membership organisation that has been established during the CAPS-MTB project. EO-MTBing will be responsible for delivering the scheme once the project period ended. The CAPS-MTB project is being jointly funded by the initial partner organisations and the Erasmus+ scheme from the European Commission.
What won't the project do?
The project will not replace existing national training schemes. It's purpose is to ensure that all these schemes meet the same standards of training and evaluation, regardless of which country a student has trained in.The CAPS-MTB project will be delivered by existing national training organisations. EO-MTBing's role is not to provide the training directly (with the exception of train-the-trianer courses) but to work with member organisations to ensure that their own schemes all reach a common European standard. Students who successfully qualify to their highest national level will then be able to proceed to a final EO-MTBing examination, held across Europe, to obtain their EO-MTBing European licence.
How will Quality Assurance be implemented?
All the way through the scheme. Beginning with the initial process of either adapting an existing training scheme to meet the training standard or helping a country to create their own scheme according to the standard. The whole process is created and overseen by an expert panel who represent the greatest source of knowledge and experience on the profession currently working together in the world.
A program of regular exchanges and co-delivery of training courses/evaluations between member organisations ensures not only quality assurance but also the sharing of good working practice throughout Europe. Finally, a shared European practical exam is the final stage in ensuring even quality assurance between all the member organisations, resulting in a European licence which will re-define the profession in the years to come.

Cyberbullying, Mental Health, and Other School-Safety Takeaways for School Reopening
By Sarah D. Sparks — July 22, 2020 2 min read
Many schools will not be opening their door to full-time, in-person instruction this fall, as COVID-19 continues to spread.. But student safety and wellness will still be an issue for school and district leaders, as federal data show.
A new annual joint report by the federal Education and Justice departments on school crime and safety finds that while the rates of students ages 12 to 18 who are victims of crime have continued to decline nationwide since 1992, students are more than twice as likely to be victims in-school—about 33 out of every 1,000 students—than out, at about 16 victims out of every 1,000.
Those rates will almost certainly drop in the next school year, as many districts opt to have students learn from home full- or part-time. Yet remote-learning environments could present their own safety concerns, as schools grapple with how to combat cyberbullying, help students cope with neighborhood tensions and violence, and identify which students are suffering from mental and emotional problems related to the pandemic and school closures.
The federal data give a picture of the state of crime and safety in U.S. schools before the pandemic:
Younger grades that do not allow students private messaging or email may have fewer problems with bullying during online classroom settings, but it may also be more difficult for adults to catch wind of problems among students in social media. Moreover, experts have suggested the combination of increased physical isolation from peers and rising dependence on social media could worsen the rising rates of suicide among older students and teenagers.
School leaders have already voiced concern about the difficulty in identifying mental health problems and providing supports for students who are struggling during remote learning. As the data show, schools often serve as the only mental health supports for significant portions of their students.
This year, the National Center for Education Statistics and the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which jointly produce the annual school crime and safety study, highlighted concerns around how problems in students' neighborhoods can affect their learning. For example, as communities across the country continue to be rocked by protests calling for racial justice, the study finds racial tensions in a child's neighborhood can be nearly as academically damaging as crime.
In 2017-18, the study also found 80 percent of schools had at least one incident of violence, theft, or other crimes, but less than half reported an incident to police. That rate has been flat since 2015-16, but lower than in any year from 2000 to 2010. Only 15 percent of schools reported any serious violent crimes to the police, though there was no information available about where or what kind of schools they were.

Buying and selling Inflation Expectations
Spiking inflation has been a hot-button subject in 2021, however U.S. Treasury yields have truly declined in current weeks, suggesting there could also be extra to this story than meets the attention.
This story ran in June 2021 and will have dated references, but it surely stays related and a captivating learn for merchants
Like an ominous scene from a traditional horror film, rising inflation in 2021 was anticipated to be the boogeyman that killed the "all the pieces rally" in 2021. However with the
S&P 500 up 15% year-to-date, that bloodbath has but to reach.
Final yr, many pundits predicted that inflation would decide up steam in 2021 as the worldwide economic system rebounded from the COVID-19 pandemic. And whereas world financial exercise has undoubtedly elevated in current months, some key rate of interest (i.e. inflation) metrics have moderated— significantly U.S. Treasury yields.
Treasury yields signify the return on U.S. authorities debt and continuously function the "canary within the coal mine" for the underlying economic system.
For instance, the yield on the U.S. Treasury Be aware was buying and selling above 3% again within the fall of 2018, earlier than plummeting to an all-time intraday low of 0.318% in the course of the peak of the March 2020 meltdown within the monetary markets.
That very same yield has staged a formidable rally within the time since, bringing the 10-year Treasury all the best way again to 1.78% this March. Because of that transfer, many market contributors feared that the yield on the 10-year Treasury may rise as excessive as 2.50% by the summer time.
However summer time has formally arrived, and Treasury yields have truly moved in the other way.
As of June 14, the yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury Be aware was buying and selling proper round 1.50%—roughly 14% decrease than the 52-week excessive. Extra importantly, that's a full level decrease than the worst-case boogeyman situation.
Contemplating the worldwide economic system is recovering and that widespread vaccination packages are being performed the world over, it makes one surprise why yields have dropped just lately, as a substitute of continuous their transfer larger.
That's not essentially a simple query to reply, however at its core, the downdraft in yields probably displays moderating expectations for the energy of the post-COVID financial rebound—or at minimal, the sustainability of stated rebound.
One issue tempering expectations could also be the truth that whereas vaccination ranges in america are excessive (>50% of the inhabitants), the remainder of the world stays far behind. At the moment, it's estimated that about 20% of the whole human inhabitants has obtained a minimum of one dose of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine.
Whereas that's no small feat, the fact is that extra individuals will must be vaccinated earlier than many international locations reopen their borders to overseas vacationers—the U.S. included. And whereas tourism isn't an important trade on the planet, it has lengthy been a vital indicator of world prosperity.
The graphic beneath highlights how a lot of the world might not be vaccinated till nicely into 2022.
Reflecting these harsh vaccination realities, China just lately introduced that it doesn't plan to open its borders to overseas vacationers anytime quickly. And that's although China has administered greater than 900 million doses of vaccine inside its borders (thus far).
Contemplating that COVID-19 supposedly originated in China, one would anticipate that the reopening of that nation's borders will probably be an vital step in symbolizing the "conclusion" of the pandemic. That is particularly vital given China's vital manufacturing position within the world economic system.
Primarily based on anecdotal proof, plainly many different international locations in Asia received't be opening as much as exterior vacationers anytime quickly, both. Vietnam, which was a giant winner from the current U.S.-China Commerce Conflict, in all probability received't reopen its borders to overseas vacationers till 2022.
And importantly, it's not simply vacationers which were affected, as present worldwide journey restrictions typically affect enterprise individuals, as nicely. The truth is that fewer enterprise vacationers undoubtedly equates to much less enterprise.
Additional illustrating the destruction wrought by the pandemic, take into account that Hong Kong was probably the most visited metropolis on the planet in 2019 with greater than 27 million distinctive arrivals. Throughout 2020, that quantity dropped to three.5 million—the bottom annual whole on file.
Outdoors of the journey indicator, there's been proof from different markets that expectations for the COVID-19 financial rebound could also be tempering. Lumber costs, which skyrocketed within the final 9 months, at the moment are down 22% since Could 10. Housing begins within the U.S., which had additionally been sturdy in 2020, equally skilled a giant drop just lately —declining 13.4% from March to April.
And simply the opposite day, shopper information collected in the course of the month of Could indicated that retail gross sales within the U.S. dropped final month. That very same development was noticed in China, the place retail gross sales had been additionally a disappointment in Could.
These moderating financial indicators might assist illustrate why the U.S. Federal Reserve has been so constant (to not point out assured) when referring to 2021 inflationary pressures as "transitory" (i.e. non permanent).
Importantly, an replace from the U.S. central financial institution is due on June 16 when the nation's prime bankers break from a two-day coverage assembly. Only a couple months in the past, leaders on the Fed reiterated their intention to depart rates of interest unchanged within the U.S. (i.e. near-zero) by means of 2023.
Traders and merchants will undoubtedly be watching intently this week to see whether or not these sentiments have modified.

Further to our chat the other day I wanted to tell you how satisfied I am with your Beard & Shave Oil.
I have been shaving for over 50 years and have always used an electric shaver. One of the downsides of electric shaving is the dragging of the shaver over skin which is not perfectly dry. I started using a well known brand's pre-electric roll-on which is alcohol based and dries the skin ready for shaving. Some year ago this became unavailable in South Africa and I changed to another brand of pre-electric which served the same purpose. Then about 3 years ago it was also was taken off the market. I conducted an internet search looking for a local pre-shave and found your MichaelGamePlan website and your original MGP Pre Shave Oil. I was a bit dubious as, being oil based, I thought it might clog an electric shaver. I found it worked very well provided it was used sparingly as recommended in your brochure. I have recently upgraded to the latest pivoting head Philips shaver which is also washable. I am now enjoying the best and closest shaves I have ever experienced. Being retired and old school I do not feel comfortable with the latest 'designer stubble' look and shave every day, even over weekends.
I strongly recommend your Beard & Shave Oil to anyone who is looking for a comfortable close shave with their electric shaver.
