YouTube had officially terminated its Content Hosting Agreement with the local corporation and all its multichannel network subsidiaries, the local media reported.

Yeah1 sent a statement to the Hochiminh Stock Exchange in the morning to confirm the partnership termination with YouTube. According to Chairman Nguyen Anh Nhuong Tong, the content storage agreement between the two sides has ended, so YouTube started releasing channels cooperating with it and its subsidiaries from May 22.
At present, Yeah1 is adjusting its resources to focus on developing content and its own channels. However, the business results of the multichannel segment will be taken into account in the company's financial report for the first quarter of 2019, according to the statement.
Earlier, YouTube decided to terminate its CHSA with the subsidiaries and associates of Yeah1 on March 31, including ScaleLab LLC and Thailand-based SpringMe Ptd Ltd.
YouTube noted that SpringMe, in which Yeah1 has a 16.5% stake, had violated YouTube's policies on selecting and managing channels and videos, leading the platform to terminate its agreement with Yeah1's subsidiaries and associates that run Adsense-based business activities.
On April 2, YouTube allowed the firm to keep storing content on its platform for another two weeks while negotiations between the two sides continued. However, the Vietnamese digital media company was unable to convince YouTube not to cancel its license.
CHSA is the license through which media companies gather earnings from third-party businesses that run ads on their channels.
In addition, Yeah1, in its statement, confirmed that it had completed procedures for the buyback of over 3.1 million shares, as announced on March 18. It is now waiting for approval from the State Securities Commission.
The group said it would not stop investing in and producing network content with YouTube as it is an important channel.
Aside from operating a multichannel network on YouTube, Yeah1 owns four nationwide TV channels and operates as a movie producer and distributor, advertising agent and digital advertisement publisher.
After the trouble with YouTube, Yeah1's shares, under the code YEG, plunged to floor prices for 13 consecutive sessions, with its market capitalization vaporizing by nearly VND6.4 trillion by March 20. The firm debuted on the southern market in June 2018 at the starting price of VND250,000.
Closing today's session, YEG again tumbled to the floor price at VND100,500, after advancing for five sessions in a row. SGT

New York Modeling agencies have always been best medium for upcoming model to start their career.
Ans: Cyndicate is New York Modeling Agency & Management, Inc. began in 2007. We manage models, musicians, and actors. in addition to this, we provide our models with exceptional exposure. We currently have models in Chicago and Indiana.
Q. Why is height so important in modeling world?
Ans: Height is very important. A potential model is most likely to obtain runway positions if they are over 5'8 and up. This is a preference with fashion designers, because they want their sample pieces to fit the model. Speaking in reference to size; most sample pieces range from sizes 0-6 only. Also, the clothes must be able to "fall' off of the model. Thus, drawing attention to the clothing, not the body.
Q. Do you think women from certain countries have more model potentiality?
Ans: Women from countries such as Russia, have more potential to be a model, because this is what clients prefer currently.
Q. What is the proper age for professional modeling?
Ans: The proper age for a model is 18-25 only. 25 should be the cut off , because a model's career does not last as long. Usually and from experience, most models end up in other careers such as acting, etc. after the age of 25. Also, clients want to see fresh faces. They tend to get bored.
Q. Would you like to give some advice to readers who want to be models?
Ans: My advice to models is to do your research and make sure you are serious. in addition to this, always practice and try to keep your availability open. The more flexible you are, the more likely you will obtain gigs on a consistent basis.

Manzala's lagoon is the largest brackish water body of the Nile Delta coastal lakes lies between 31° 00" and 31° 30" latitude and 31° 45" and 32° 20" longitude and is shallow with depth rarely exceeding one meter with a total area ~700 square kilometre. It is a rhombohedral-shaped water body formed in the actively subsiding delta plain and lies in the northern quadrant of the delta between the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Suez Canal, Port Said to the east, the Damietta Branch of the River Nile and the governorates of Sharkiya and Dakahliya to the west. Over the last few decades, the Manzala's lagoon has undergone dramatic environmental changes. The effluents of drains cause the Lake to became almost stagnant or at least current less. This study aimed to isolate and identify fungi from sediments of some polluted sites in the Lake, examine the biosorption potentiality of some selected taxa in single and mixed culture against different concentrations of heavy metals, and optimize the factors affecting the biosorption of some heavy metals by selected taxa.
Dr. Abdel-Azeem is a mycologist and academic staff member at Faculty of Science, Suez canal University with particular interest in the ecology, taxonomy, biology, and conservation of fungi. He is the chairman of Arab Society for Fungal Conservation and executive member of International Mycological Association (IMA).

High-level launch UNECE Innovation for Sustainable Development Review (I4SDR) of Moldova and capacity-building programme to support implementation of selected recommendations
lyudmyla.tautiyeva@un.org, olga.tretiacov@mec.gov.md
16 June 2022 | 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Since its independence, Moldova has made significant steps to transition to a fully-fledged market economy with improvements in the business environment and development of its national innovation system. Further economic growth will mean that innovation in the form of systematic experimentation with ideas must take centre stage in Moldova's policy efforts. Innovation would also be crucial in meeting Moldova's commitments under the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, including the imperative to transition towards a more circular and inclusive economy and the resilient post-pandemic recovery.
To support Moldova's development efforts, the UNECE has carried out the Innovation for Sustainable Development Review (I4SDR) of Moldova. The I4SDR aims to support the national authorities and policymakers in promoting an enabling environment for innovation and knowledge-based competitiveness to foster sustainable development. The I4SDR was carried out following a request from the Government of Moldova and with the financial support from the Government of Sweden. It contains recommendations aimed at stimulating innovation activity in the country through policy actions to enhance innovation policy governance, science-industry linkages and technology commercialisation, and the innovation and technology transfer infrastructure. For the first time, the I4SDR proposes possible policy solutions to leverage the Moldovan diaspora for innovation-driven sustainable development.
The I4SDR of Moldova is available in English and Romanian on UNECE website.
This event serves as an opportunity to present Moldovan stakeholders and international partners with the main findings and recommendations of the I4SDR of Moldova. It is also a platform to launch the capacity-building programme on innovation and technology transfer, as agreed with the Ministry of Education and Research. The capacity-building programme is aimed at supporting the implementation of the selected Review recommendations by the Government of Moldova.
The event brings together Moldovan Government representatives, innovation stakeholders, including academia and private sector representatives, as well as international experts, including authors of respective chapters of the I4SDR, development partners and the UNECE secretariat.


The Skoda Superb 4x4 V6 Laurin & Klement wagon is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It's also the best value executive car on the European market. And yes, it's bigger than your A6.
Back in 2002, when our friend Nino Karotta reviewed the first (modern) Skoda Superb, he ended up with the conclusion that they should have named it the Good instead. More than a decade later, I got to try just how superb the second generation is with the most powerful engine and almost every extra thrown in.
A metallic brown wagon is always a good start, but of course this had the DSG as well as apparently every test car in VAG's fleet. At least this time, it finally made sense, helping with the effortless cruising that big five-doors are all about.
For me, the best Skoda is clearly the Octavia RS, and jumping into the top-of-the-line Superb after that reveals that their largest car is indeed six years old now even if the 3.6 4x4 in question is still the fastest Skoda in production. The interior feels a bit dated and compared to the new Audi A8 I drove back on our way to Le Mans, it's about a decade behind.
But it also Euro-VW quality while costing a third of the only slightly bigger Audi.
The badge is definitely not an issue anymore. With Germans and the British buying one Skoda after another, even the Hungarian government felt it was time to switch to Superbs from A6s a couple of years ago to show how reasonable they are when it comes to taxpayer money. It goes to the same company anyway.
The Laurin & Klement cars are the business class options with wood on the dash, leather seats and other popular favorites that won't wrinkle a suit. Unfortunately for the one wearing the 3SC 4710 plates, I don't usually wear a suit. My jeans stayed roughly as wrinkled as they were when I got into the car.
The first trial of the 4x4 system came when I was looking for a location to shoot the car somewhere outside of Budapest but next to the Danube. Our resident fish expert at Gawker Budapest sent me north and said the road in question can be a bit bumpy, but leads all the way to the water and should be okay with all-wheel drive. Scooter boy was almost right, except for that the road in question was better suited for a Lada Niva as there were plenty of mud and deep tire tracks to shake my confidence in this poor car.
Whatever. We made it to the corn fields, proving that while it's no Octavia Scout, the Superb 4x4 will still keep going when things get rough.
Now that we were this close to Mother Nature, I felt it was time to test how practical the Superb wagon really is when it comes to a nice road trip.
It's big and comfortable enough for a longer run, that's for sure. The ride is smooth and the handling is pretty neutral even on curvy roads. There's cruise control, of course, the DSG does its job with ease, the seats are heated and there are enough nets and storage compartments in the back to keep everybody's belongings in order. That's all very nice, but can you sleep in a Superb, you may ask?
I'm 6'2", and my answer is positive.
Plus some... company? Well, just throw out the divider and the rest of the equipment, and I'd say no problem to a weekend with twins.
But what about speed? When it gets out of the bushes, the Superb has to perform on the Autobahn too as a budget alternative to an A6 or a Passat. But since the Autobahn is pretty boring, I took it to an abandoned airfield instead.
The 3.6 FSI is a decade old engine, and while it produces 260 horsepower and 258 foot pounds of torque in the Superb, let's not forget that it would be a 300 hp engine if it was in a Volkswagen. Yep, Skoda is the underdog and is treated as such. Still, 260 hp equals to 62 mph reached in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 155 mph.
There wasn't much point in pushing this big brown wagon for a few laps around the track as the brakes started fading very quickly thanks to its 3,827 pounds, but the V6 at least sounds reassuring through the pair of twin exhausts and there's no question that the car could keep up with most on the highway once you floor it.
But it wasn't designed to do that, and therefore, getting one with the 3.6 V6 makes no sense at all. Fuel consumption is high for what you get in return and decreased range is the opposite of what you want from a comfy cruiser.
The next day, I stopped at a red light and next to me was the exact same brown Superb 4x4 wagon, but with a TDI badge. You can get the all-wheel drive variant with either a 140 or a 170 hp 2.0, and I would image the latter would turn this into pretty much the perfect big car for the money based on my experience with the not-much-lighter Yeti powered by the same drivetrain.
With that engine, all the gadgets, the DSG and the must have metallic brown paint, this is $48,500 wagon, which is about the same as what you pay for a base A4 allroad 2.0 TDI quattro S tronic around here with 177 hp. That's seven more horsepower, and about 4.6 inches less in length. Enough to make sleeping with twins in the back unpleasant during a long weekend of camping in the forest, just past the corn fields.
While I would never buy this new due to the simple fact that I don't have $48,500 to spend on a car, I couldn't think of a better choice as a second hand purchase. These Skoda's are all built to last, and with a bit of depreciation thrown in for good measure, these executive wagons turn into giant family cars packed with features and enough scars to make sure you'll feel fine taking them out for a nice trip, come rain or shine.
I think America should care about the Superb because I couldn't think of any new car in the States that compares to this wagon today. It's not a crossover, it's not upmarket, it's simply the most luxurious version of Skoda's largest car.

Another Christian girl kidnapped, raped and forcefully converted to Islam in Pakistan
According to a post shared in the "Stop Persecution of Christians" Facebook group, another Christian girl was kidnapped, raped and forcefully converted to Islam in Pakistan.
The post says that the Christian girl is called Mehwish Bibi, and she used to live in the Rahwali district of Gujranwala, Pakistan, was kidnapped while she was going to college.
"When her parents realised that she didn't come back from college, they started searching for her. They came across two eye-witnesses who told her father that she was kidnapped by Muhammad Sabir and his two other companions at gunpoint and that they were taking her somewhere so they can rape her," says the post.
The girl's father, Patras Masih, went to the police station and filed a police report. However, the police were not interested in finding the girl or arresting the kidnappers because the victim is a Christian.
The post also reads that within a few days, as is customary, her rapists will probably present her to the courts and will say that she has converted into Islam and is now married to one of them. The court will then allow the rapists to keep the girl lawfully.
In Pakistan, this kind of injustice has already happened many times, and kidnappers keep innocent Christian girls with them with the help of the courts. The post also says that the Pakistani Government always tries to hide news regarding the persecution of Christians in the country; that is why it is important to share this kind of news so that the world can see what is happening in Pakistan.

Enrollment in Russian drops
Colleges and universities across North America and Europe are reporting significant declines in enrollment of first-year Russian-language students, with scholars blaming the Kremlin's war on Ukraine.
Academics at leading Russian and Slavic studies departments told Times Higher Education that they were seeing 30 to 50 percent declines in enrollment figures for elementary Russian.
At Yale University, enrollment in first-year Russian is 40 percent lower this year than in the past five years. Sweden's Lund University has seen a 40 to 50 percent decrease from last year. Swarthmore College and Wellesley College—leading U.S. liberal arts institutions—have both seen a 30 percent decrease.
Times Higher Education has seen reports of enrollment figures for other institutions, including the University of Kansas, the University of Tennessee and Williams College, noting declines of a similar order, although the figures were not confirmed by the institutions directly.
Meanwhile, the war appears to have given a boost to other Slavic languages, with Polish and Ukrainian making pronounced gains in some places.
Edyta Bojanowska, professor of Slavic languages and literatures at Yale, said that Yale's enrollment for introductory Russian was at a six-year low as its demand for first-year Polish reached an all-time high.
"The new geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe certainly opened up a unique window for such initiatives by realigning student interests. Constant media coverage of not just Ukraine but Eastern Europe more broadly may have increased young people's interest in East European languages and cultures other than Russian," Bojanowska said.
She noted that "instructors' reports of informal conversations with students last spring indicate that Russia's war in Ukraine made many students question their decision to study Russian, and that this decision has acquired an ethical dimension."
Bojanowska said she hoped that Yale might add in-person Ukrainian teaching if interest continues.
This year the University of California, Berkeley, is offering a Ukrainian-language option for the first time. Meanwhile, the University of Alberta has more than 60 Ukrainian-language students—roughly double last year's enrollment.
"For Ukrainian 101, this totals about a third of our current Russian [101] enrollments, no small feat considering the novelty of the program," said David Kurkovskiy, a graduate student teaching the Russian course.
Scholars at two British institutions with major offerings in these areas—the University of Oxford and Durham University—said it was too early to count their student figures.
"In the past, bad news for the region has indeed usually been followed by a rise in student interest in the course," said Nicolette Makovicky, director of Oxford's Russian and East European studies program.
She added that the war in Ukraine was already affecting academe in other ways.
"I already get a sense that the war is speeding up a 'decolonizing' of Russian history and studies," said Makovicky, noting "greater interest in what might have formerly been seen as the margins of the U.S.S.R.," including the Caucasus and Central Asia, and a "re-evaluation of the relationship between the periphery and center."

The Internet is an endless feast of knowledge, which makes finding, searching and sifting what you need, a virtually impossible task. And using the statistics of the Information Industry -- the knowledge base DOUBLES every six years! So, with the Internet itself exploding in double digit yearly growth, we need every bit of help we can get to keep up with our chosen fields of knowledge. Our only hope rests with the better and better search engines that are springing up by the dozens to meet this growing and accelerating need. At our March 18th meeting I'll show you some of the many search engines I've found that can help you quickly and reliably find those nuggets of gold that are buried in the cornucopia of confusion and endless potential that is "The Internet." So bring your associates and friends with you. I promise that you'll find it an interesting, exciting and informative evening.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome back the CSUF AITP Student Chapter for the Spring '98 semester. Having been a founding member myself, I've proudly watched this group grow to 100+ strong. Currently under the fantastic leadership of President Debbie Suderno and Vice President Gregg Geisendorfer CSUF AITP kicked off the semester with a speaker meeting and free food supplied by Del Taco. CSUF graduate Steve Giano (currently a Network Analyst working for CSUF Extended Education) spoke on the topic "Life of a New Graduate". Students enjoyed learning how to prepare for the world beyond college and received many insightful answers to their numerous questions. The following week was the biannual Pizza/Bowling social that has become a popular AITP function every semester. Lots of free pizza and soft drinks brought in the crowds. As Dr. Dear beat everyone at bowling, fellow students remarked that it was a good thing they weren't bowling for grades. Up and coming for March 4th is a speaker meeting with Microsoft's Babar Batla on "Windows 98". This should really pack the room. CSUF AITP has a full schedule planned and is on its way to a great semester! As everyone is probably aware, the proceeds from the raffle tickets that I've been selling each meeting go toward the AITP Scholarship that we award to a deserving MSIS major at Cal State Fullerton each year. As you can see from the AITP Student Chapter participation, this is a very good cause to support. So let's buy those raffle tickets and support the scholarship fund!

The reality of climate change in peoples' lives
Poor land-use practices make a landscape more vulnerable to climate change impacts (Photo: Albert Schenk)
By Obaka Torto
Climate change is no longer a vague, abstract 'concept'. It is fast becoming a harsh reality in the daily lives of people, especially in poorer environments.
What has happened in villages in South Kivu - Democratic Republic of Congo, is forcing people to realise that major changes are happening right now; affecting their immediate physical environment and even the social structure of their communities.
It was not long ago that people realised that the agricultural calendar was changing. Agricultural lands were traditionally cultivated three times a year, in January, April and September, but nowadays crops are produced only twice a year, and even then, often with difficulty. Crops are being affected by frequent longer periods of drought while being scorched by the hot sun, while during other periods of the year the plants are damaged or destroyed by torrential rains and hail. Crops are being attacked by various diseases such as mosaic virus which affects cassava and banana plants, while soil is washed away and gradually becomes unproductive. Periods of famine have become a reality, resulting in increased cases of crop theft which leads to social conflicts in families, villages, and in the chiefdoms.
The area has had its share of (natural) disasters over the years but in October 2014 overnight torrential rain resulted inimmeasurable damage to communities in Kalehe Territory in the South Kivu Province. Massive landslides destroyed and damaged houses, public infrastructure (such as hydroelectric power stations, churches, schools) and crops. Even worse, many people and domestic animals were reported to have been killed. In the aftermath, many villages do not have access to clean drinking water because the facilities were damaged.
Climate change is affecting people. Local organisations are trying to support local communities to adapt to and to help find sustainable strategies to cope with the effects of climate change. Horizon Nature is an NGO working in South Kivu and is partnering with BirdLife International and other partners in the region to enhancing climate change resilience in the Lake Kivu Basin through applying the CRAG approach. The acronym CRAGs stands for Climate Resilient Altitudinal Gradients which are landscape units that are characterised by climate resilient biodiversity and ecosystem service values. The CRAG approach brings together a variety of conservation approaches and activities, such as integrated water management; ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change; soil and forest management; and community livelihoods, which all have impact across the landscape in ways that directly benefit human wellbeing and biodiversity values. Kalehe has been identified as one the priority areas where Horizon Nature will start working with the local communities to enhance climate change resilience, with the aim of reducing the chance of the October 2014 disaster happening again.
The "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in Great Lakes Region Watersheds: the Lake Kivu Catchment and Rusizi River CRAG"project is funded by the MacArthur Foundation.

Home Aviation What Happens When Lightning Strikes An Airplane?
In the skies above your head lightning is a very common occurrence and on average every commercial plane is struck once a year by lightning. But the lightning doesn't hurt the plane because of what it's made out of!


Well, it's that time again. I know you mommies know what I'm talking about. I LOVE Summer, really I do... I love spending time with Tater before he goes back to school, especially since I will barely see him once school starts back, now that I am working nights.
Oh My God, Summer is so damn long! We have long ago worn out all the fun things we had to do: sprinkler, sandbox, pool, park, playing in the yard, trampoline, walks, etc... It's all old news now. I can tell that both of my boys, even the little one, are super bored and in dire need of entertainment.
Well, the sweeties at Hasbro Toys must have read my mind, because on the crappiest, rainiest day of the Summer, a gigantic box showed up on my porch. Little did I know that inside it, would be our Summer saving grace!
Opening that box was the most fun I have seen my boys have all summer long!
The first thing they pulled out, I must say, has been there absolute favorite!
This is the Chuck & Friends Fold 'N Go Tumble Tower Play Set! It is recommended for ages 18 months and up. I really was unsure about how much the boys would like this, since Bean is only one and Tater is 5, but let me just say WOW! They haven't put this toy down in like a week! Really, one of them always has it!
This toy is made to be used with the smaller Chuck & Friends trucks, which was perfect for Bean because he got the whole set for Christmas last year! Even if you don't have the smaller trucks, don't worry because it comes with one vehicle!
The Fold 'N Go Tumble Tower Playset is really cute!
"Rev up your engine for tons of tumbling fun! Set your CHUCK THE DUMP TRUCK vehicle at the top of this tower to watch him tumble down the moving ramp and come speeding out the side. Then, put him on the lift to send him up to the top to do it all over again! When you and your vehicle pal really want to put your "driving skills" to the test, send him down the ramp to do his flipping ramp stunt. When playtime's over, park your CHUCK THE DUMP TRUCK vehicle inside the playset and fold it up, so you're all set for on-the-go stunt fun!"
Look how tiny it folds up!! We have absolutely NO space around here, and any toy that doesn't take up tons of space is a friend of mine! I couldn't believe that it fit in the tiny space in between their bookshelf and the wall! Thanks again Hasbro!
I actually had to remind the boys that there were more things in the box from Hasbro, since they were obsessed with Chuck!
But, when my little Bean actually got the chance to play with the PLAYSKOOL Wheel Pals Animal Tracks Splash 'n Bath Playset, he was thrilled! You see, my little Bean HATES a bath. I am not sure why, but he always has... So anything to take his mind off the actual act of taking a bath, is a winner!
This little toy is so cute!
"When this WHEEL PALS hippo vehicle is ready to "wash up," nothing will stop him! Your child can set the vehicle up at the end of this river-themed playset and then lift the launcher to start him racing. As the hippo zips up and down the hill, he takes a "bath" in the "waterfall"! The fun just keeps rolling every time your child lifts the launcher!"
But, mommy's favorite product from Hasbro will always be Play-Doh. I just love Play-Doh. It is one toy that hasn't changed a bit since I was a kid, and playing Play-Doh with the boys makes me feel like a kid again! But, I must say, Play-Doh playsets sure have come a long way since I was a kid! Wait until you see the awesome Play-Doh sets Hasbro was kind enough to send us!
We have had so much fun with this playset! Tater was thrilled that you can use it to make a smoothie, his most favorite thing in the world! My favorite parts were "making eggs" and "waffles"! I really love toys like Play-Doh SO much because it really allows my kids to be creative. I love seeing what they will come up with next, you just never know!
"Whip up some delicious fun with this breakfast set! Use the molds and "griddle" to create scrumptious looking "eggs", "pancakes" and much more out of PLAY-DOH modeling compound. Then, use the waffle griddle to press out a picture-perfect "waffle". Would you like a "banana" or a "croissant" to go with your "French toast" or "hash browns"? But of course! A knife, spatula and fork even let you "serve up" your creations. When you're done "cooking", just put everything back inside the container to keep it all safe and sound for your next imaginative "breakfast" or "brunch"!"
We were also lucky enough to receive another Play-Doh Playset! We got the Sesame Street Cookie Monster's Letter Lunch Playset and it is adorable!
Learning is fun with PLAY-DOH compound and Sesame Street. This playset helps children learn their ABCs. They can shape letters to spell out their names and other words! Kids can even make a pretend alphabet soup and "feed" it to Cookie Monster for "lunch!" Includes 4 cans of PLAY-DOH compound.
Set includes Cookie Monster character playset with bowl, lid, knife, spoon, fork, roller, more than 45 molds, presser tool, playmat and 4 two-ounce cans of PLAY-DOH modeling compound.
All I can say about this one is, it was PERFECT! It says it is for ages 3 and up, and my Tater just turned 5, so I was afraid this might be a bit babyish for him... But, it is perfect! He is just now learning to spell words and work on reading, and he spent a good hour and a half making letters and spelling words! I am always loving any toy that helps my kids to learn while they are having fun! And if they don't even realize they are learning, that's even better! This was absolutely the perfect toy for my big guy!
I would like to say a big thank you to the folks at Hasbro Toys! You guys knew just what we needed to end our "end of Summer" blues! My boys now have a bunch of new toys in their arsenal, and *hopefully* we will stay entertained until it's time for school!
Now, it's your turn! Hasbro is giving away a prize pack with the same four toys that I reviewed to a lucky Flip Out Mama reader! Yay!!!

To Help Fight COVID-19, Manufacturers Create Devices and Services for Doctors
Companies have slowed production of their core products to break new ground in areas of personal protective equipment—and philanthropy
Leilah Stone,
ROOM, a manufacturer of privacy booths, has re-engineered its signature product to serve as a safe zone in which doctors can administer COVID-19 tests. The so-called Test Booth is a partial acrylic enclosure for patients. Gloved receptacles, built into it for caregivers' hands, enable interaction without physical contact. Besides sharing the booth's technical drawings, so that others may duplicate its design, the company has also launched room.com/COVID-19, where hospitals can put in a request for the device. Courtesy ROOM
As the coronavirus has shuttered cities and immobilized citizens, many manufacturers of interior and architectural products in the United States have found ways to offer support to vulnerable populations and provide free protective gear to medical professionals.
In the Northeast region, where the pandemic has seen the worst fallout, several companies have responded over the past month, supporting local efforts to fight COVID-19.
New Jersey–based furniture manufacturer Stylex acted swiftly to divert part of its personnel and fabrication equipment for response to the COVID-19 crisis. The company is cutting and sewing over 400 masks a day for distribution to local hospitals, given that its state is one of the hardest hit by the coronavirus.
In Northern New Jersey, Dauphin was inspired by the 100 Million Masks challenge to supply masks to healthcare facilities in and around Boonton, as well as to donate synthetic materials to volunteers who wish to make their own Masks.
Felt products manufacturer Filzfelt and its sister company Spinneybeck hope to hit a target of 125,000 masks—medical ones for facilities in the state of New Hampshire as well as fabric masks for nonmedical use.
Metropolis has gathered more examples from across the nation—and across the pond—of manufacturers who are developing solutions for the fight against COVID-19:
Minnesota-based outdoor furnishings company, Loll Designs, is currently making emergency field hospital beds out of high-density polyethylene. The beds can be assembled on-site, 100% recyclable, and easily cleanable "We want to help out. We looked at all the PPE that people on the front lines are asking for and it seems a lot are stepping up to produce the face masks," Greg Benson, CEO of Loll Designs, explains, "With our unique manufacturing ability, a field hospital bed is something we can do that the general public can't."
Courtesy Loll Designs
UK-based company Allermuir temporarily halted production of its contemporary office and residential furniture to manufacture hospital furniture in order to support The Senator Group's healthcare brand Teal. The company has evolved two designs allowing them to manufacture the products in-house to meet demand while illuminating certain supply risks.
Courtesy Allermuir
As a self-proclaimed "toy company," Phoenix-based Burgeon Group has made swift progress in developing an innovative shield for protecting doctors and nurses bedside, while they're connecting patients to ventilators. London Box, as the box-shaped shield is called, encloses the patient instead of the caregiver.
Courtesy Burgeon Group
HBF and HBF Textiles have shifted manufacturing efforts from furnishings and fabrics to production of protective gowns and washable masks—including special covers meant to be worn over and extend the use of N95 masks—for medical professionals in areas around their factories in Iowa, New York, and North Carolina.
Courtesy HBF
While its showrooms are closed, Maharam's distribution center in Long Island, New York, is busy shipping healthcare textiles such as privacy curtains free of charge to organizations such as the Army Corp of Engineers in Chicago and to architectural firms such as NBBJ, which is currently converting Manhattan hotels into recovery spaces. The company's fabric is also being donated to Long Island's Habitat for Humanity for production of new protective garments.
Courtesy Maharam
Because it already manufactures T7 Mobile Technology Carts, which centralize digital tools for healthcare workers, Humanscale was able to ramp up production of these useful devices and ship them free of charge to hospitals around the world. Besides supporting medical professionals, the effort has also kept the manufacturer's production workers on payroll during these tough times.
Courtesy Humanscale
Formica plans to donate up to 500,000 meals to Feeding America food banks. The laminate manufacturer has linked the effort to its online Lunch & Learn Program, promising that for every single view their videos receive through April 30th, the company will donate 10 meals.
Courtesy Formica
Precious Plastic is an open-source initiative, which spearheads efforts to collect, recycle, and transform plastic waste into useful new products. In response to COVID-19, the community has developed and distributed several product-design solutions for stemming the spread of the virus, including an intensive care respirator mask, visors, and a hands-free door opener (shown here.)
Courtesy Precious Plastics
Thanks to the digital fabrication capabilities at its Los Angeles manufacturing facility, architectural wall and ceilings manufacturer Arktura found itself one of the primary suppliers of PPE to UCLA hospitals. The company developed and refined its own face mask design, and offered open-source designs to any others in the area who wished to join the effort.

Н4: we have the Northern dynamics here as well. Probably, the pair will roll back to the middle band(123.66), from where you can enter the purchases.
Н1: support much more localized - 123.94.
Expectations: So, we are waiting for leap up, then a roll back to 123.94, whereupon bulls will drag the price to 125.09.


A faster and more luxurious successor to the ultra successful 450.
The new look hard-chine running the length of the hulls creates powerful lines and delivers better performance through the water due to less wetted surface area.
Multiple areas to relax, an exceptional galley,and a sumptuous level of comfort and choice below decks.
Practical and glamorous she appeals to families on holiday and blue-water sailors alike.
Or please scroll down to read more about this evolutionary catamaran.
There are multiple areas to relax with prime position being huge sun-loungers on the fly-bridge behind the helm-station. The fly-bridge itself is sociable and easily seats six.
The neatly designed forward cockpit area has comfortable cushions flush with the deck and an open walkway onto the trampoline. The aft cockpit is spacious and well thought out. When the cockpit table is not in use it folds down and there is an ingenious sliding seat that folds beneath the table, allowing access from the cockpit to the fly-bridge on the port side.
Also in the cockpit, there is a sink, front loading fridge and plenty of storage on the starboard side and forward to port an extensive countertop with built in ice box.
The salon itself is spacious and sumptuous. The galley is exceptional with copious counter space and storage, with a big sliding window that opens to the cockpit.
Natural light streams through the wrap around vertical windows, and there's a retractable sash window forward for maximum ventilation as well as passing drinks to the forward cockpit.
Fully air-conditioned, with generator, extensive fridge and freezer space and the water-maker option makes this a design for easy living.
Interior and accommodation is by Nauta Design. The combination of elegance and functionality, and the superior level of comfort are extraordinary. Sinking into the saloon settees, you have to remind yourself you are on a yacht.
In the hulls you can choose a 3-cabin owner version or a 4-cabin all en-suite option. Berths are large doubles in all cabins, except in the owners suite on the 3-cabin where it's a beautiful island berth. Bountiful storage in hanging lockers and cupboards leaves cabins clear of clutter. You also have a choice of interior joinery finishes and soft furnishing options allowing personalized customization.
Large fixed hull windows with opening port-lights bring natural light in abundance and great ventilation. The cabins give you a feeling of space and complete well being.
The mast step positioned further aft reduces pitching and allows a larger self tacking jib, which is set on a curved track for added smoothness through the tack or gybe.
The shorter boom and high aspect mainsail, with a traveler adjusted using an electric captive winch, makes for easier sail handling and maneuvering as well as optimized performance. All the navigation tools and sail controls are neatly organized and in easy reach at the Fly-bridge.
The narrower hulls below the waterline create less drag, but with the chine there is no compromise to interior space, so better performance and better accommodation!
With electric winches where needed, autopilot and the latest B&G navigation equipment sailing this boat can be sailed comfortably short-handed. With cable steering, the helm feedback is excellent.
Under power she is smooth and responsive. The Yanmar 45 HP diesels are standard but there is an upgrade available to 57HP that we recommend.
On the Lagoon 46 there is a choice of dinghy davit, the standard system operated with a captive electric winch, or you could select the tender-lift option and have it double as a bathing platform when the dinghy is launched.
The transom steps are wide, giving easy and safe transfer to and from the dinghy, and the two steps up to the cockpit are shallow. The side decking is wide with flush hatches and plenty of handholds when moving forward or aft.
Access up to the fly-bridge is from either side of the boat from the side deck, and from the cockpit port side, with wide safe steps. Up forward the transition from trampoline to the forward cockpit is flush, no stepping down and the cowling for the anchor windlass makes a great table top.
All the heritage, tradition and quality of Lagoon have been encapsulated in the Lagoon 46, and with advanced design performance and superior comfort this is going to be a stunningly successful boat.

News Alert: Situational Awareness Report 26 August 2016
Posted: 8/27/2016 10:51:55 AM
WebEOC Incident: 16-019 Severe Weather – Statewide – 10-14 August 2016
State Declaration Proclamation 111-JBE -
2016 State of Emergency - Heavy Rain and Flooding Situation: A lingering surface low over the coastal plains will continue to draw in tropical moisture into the South. Numerous showers and thunderstorms developed and lingered across the Gulf States, yielding high rainfall amounts. Stay tuned to your local National Weather Service for the latest updates, watches and warnings. Southeast LA: Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected this afternoon. Some of these storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds. Heat index range may climb into the 100 to 105 degree range in locations outside of rain areas. Some tributaries in East Baton Rouge, Iberville and Ascension Parishes are experiencing backwater flooding. Please refer to flood advisories and statements for the latest information. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible each day Friday through Wednesday. A few storms could be strong and produce locally heavy rainfall, frequent lightning strikes and gusty winds. Heat index readings between 100 and 105 degrees are expected during the afternoon each day. This may produce heat related impacts on people outdoors, especially in flood affected areas. Southwest/Central LA: An easterly wave/upper level disturbance will move into the forecast area today, bringing an elevated chance for showers and thunderstorms. The best chance will be during the afternoon hours. Due to the high moisture content in the atmosphere, locally heavy downpours will be possible bringing a quick one to two inches of rainfall. Also occasional cloud to ground lightning can be expected with the storms. A series of upper level disturbances will move across the region into the weekend with a decent coverage of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms could produce locally heavy downpours and occasional cloud to ground lightning. Up to three inches of rain is expected through Monday along the southwest Louisiana coast. There is still some uncertainty for the forecast period next Tuesday into Wednesday as a lot will depend on the eventual strength and position of the tropical disturbance known as 99L. Due to the uncertainty, all interests should continue to monitor this system. North LA: Scattered thunderstorms will be possible today with isolated activity to continue overnight. Any mid to late day strong storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, heavy downpours and cloud to ground lightning. However, no widespread severe thunderstorm threat is expected. The recent heavy rains and saturated soil could lead to isolated flooding in low-lying or poor drainage areas. Thunderstorms will be possible again on Saturday. Air temperatures will linger in the lower 90s. Combined with the high humidity afternoon heat indices will be near 105 over the weekend and possibly above 105 degrees early next week.

Crowds Gather to Protest Warsaw's Leading Contemporary Art Museum, Which Just Mounted an Anti-'Cancel Culture' Art Show
On the night of the opening, the institution braced for protests by Poland's anti-fascist league and various LGBTQ+ and Jewish organizers.

Police vans were lined up early Friday evening outside Warsaw's Ujazdowski Castle Center for Contemporary Art, as protestors gathered to demonstrate against the cultural institution's decision to proceed with an exhibition that critics say platforms antisemitic, racist, and Islamophobic messages under the guise of freedom of expression.
Exhibition organizers claim the show, which is titled "Political Art" and features many controversial and political artists, is designed to confront "cancel culture" on the political left. It is the second exhibition since Piotr Bernatowicz was controversially appointed as the museum's director by Poland's populist conservative ruling Law and Justice party in 2019.
Since the party came to power in 2015, Law and Justice government officials have corralled many of the country's leading cultural institutions, including museums and theatres, into its conservative ideological orbit.

The exhibition at Ujazdowski Castle is quickly proving to be a major flashpoint in Poland's highly divisive culture wars. On the night of the opening, the institution braced for large protests by groups including Poland's anti-fascist league and various LGBTQ+ and Jewish organizers. Photos posted to social media hours before the opening on August 27 showed at least six police vans parked outside the institution.
The newest exhibition under Bernatowicz's stewardship includes works by nearly 30 artists, one of whom is the controversial Swedish artist Dan Park, who was arrested in 2009 for a stunt that saw him placing swastikas and boxes labeled "Zyklon B"—the gas used in the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust—in front of a Jewish community center in Malmo.
Park's contribution to the show is a poster that depicts the convicted Norwegian criminal Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people, mostly children, in a series of coordinated terrorist attacks in Norway. Alongside Park's work is a piece by Danish artist Uwe Max Jensen consisting of a large flag constructed from several smaller LGBT rainbow flags that the artist has fashioned into the shape of a swastika.
One of the most controversial works in the show is by Kristian von Hornsleth from Denmark, who made a work depicting Ugandan villagers who were given pigs and goats in exchange for changing their last names to his own, a move the Ugandan government condemned as racist and disrespectful. The "Political Art" show includes photos of several of the villagers holding up their changed IDs. Artnet News reached out to all three artists, but did not hear back by publishing time.
Von Hornsleth told the Associated Press earlier this week that he believes his work is a celebration of free speech. "Even if this show was right-wing and crazy, it should be allowed because it's art. But it's not [right-wing and crazy]—it's really about creating a space in which anybody can disagree about anything."
Some of the works appear to straddle left-wing political movements. The work of Hong Kong-Chinese photographer Tam Hoi Ying, for example, included in the exhibition, shows numerous human rights abuses in Hong Kong.

Co-curator Jon Eirik Lundberg, a Norwegian who oversees the Laesoe Kunsthal gallery in Denmark, agreed with von Hornsleth's statement. "If you don't have free speech, you don't have political freedom. If you don't have political freedom, you don't have any protection," he told the Associated Press. "The best way to protect any minority is to make sure there is freedom of speech."
Many in Poland claim that the exhibition platforms problematic views that hark back to dangerous ideas emulating during the country's Nazi occupation. A Ujazdowski Castle employee who wished to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisals told Artnet News: "Under the guise of freedom of expression and bizarrely understood pluralism, Bernatowicz is admitting into the institution people associated with the neo-Nazi movement, at the same time canceling and stigmatizing projects inconsistent with his worldview."
The cancelled programming includes a Miet Warlop show that was originally scheduled for earlier this year, as well as the museum's participation in an anti-fascist program, both of which were axed by Bernatowicz, allegedly due to budget shortfalls.
One anti-fascist network in Poland, the Anti-Fascist Year, accused the curators of using democratic principles "to convey and justify right-wing hate speech." In a statement, the group said that the art in the show only "strengthens the electoral prospects of authoritarian parties everywhere."
Bernatowicz doubled down on his commitment to the exhibition, stating his belief that despite the controversial nature of the works, the call to censor them is worse. In a letter published on the institution's website in response to concerns raised Warsaw's Jewish community, Bernatowicz wrote that calls to censor the exhibition are misguided, coming "from the well-educated circles and elites that, rather than engaging in dialogue with artistic attitudes that seem surprising or offensive, prefer to expunge them from the public sphere."
A statement posted to Instagram by the worker's union at the cultural institution decried what it sees as hate speech. "We express our opposition to the people who promote hatred in the walls of our institution […] This should not happen, especially in a country as severely experienced by Nazism as Poland."

Santa Clarita Diet is about a normal Santa Clarita family of two married realtors, Sheila and Joel, and their daughter, Abby. However, something strange occurs, leaving Sheila with a dramatic change in mood and a new diet of human flesh.
Based off of the plot, this probably isn't what you would thing of when you think of a show that'll make you laugh. However, with the combination of their domestic issues like which neighbor could have stolen their garden hose with their serious issues of "who should we kill and how do we do it", Santa Clarita Diet is enjoyable and surprisingly lighthearted given the nature of the show.
Jane the Virgin follows the life of Jane Villanueva, who is determined not to repeat her mother's mistake of being a teen mother and decides to be a virgin until marriage. However, gets accidentally artificially inseminated and surprise - the sperm donor is her boss, Rafael. The show goes through Jane trying to handle the situation and goes through her relationships with her family: her mother, her abuela, and her boyfriend, Michael.
Jane the Virgin has a telenovela spin, with a snarky narrator always making jokes. While there are serious things in the show, the things that occur in the show are so ridiculously crazy and overdramatized (which the narrator notes) that you'll find yourself laughing.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is about the life of Rebecca Bunch (aka the crazy ex-girlfriend) who is incredibly unhappy in her life in New York City as a lawyer at a high-profile firm and decides to move to West Covina, California, after running into her ex-boyfriend, Josh Chan, from summer camp.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is a musical romantic (the level of romance is debatable) comedy, so it's full of funny songs that express the characters' emotions. Here's one of the songs from the series that I like and think is pretty funny.
Kimmy Schmidt was formerly kidnapped and forced into a cult. However, when she is freed, she tries to rediscover the world and avoid her past by heading to the incredible New York city. The show follows her discoveries and her curiosities about this new world that she hasn't seen in 15 years.
One of the writers is Tina Fey, who also worked on creating Mean Girls, which is a pretty good indicator of the level of comedy coming from Kimmy Schmidt. Kimmy has an interesting and funny perspective on everything considering all her years of isolation that will surely make you laugh.
I just started Santa Clarita Diet strictly on the actors (any show with Nathan Fillion is a win in my book) and I am hooked! So funny for a zombie show -- and this is coming from a die-hard Walking Dead fan. I love how Netflix is bringing some great new shows to the world. Highly recommend A Series of Unfortunate Events for a good chuckle too, especially if you were a fan of the books and/or find grammar puns fun.
It's definitely a great show! Netflix's originals span all kinds of genres, which I think is really neat because then there's something for everyone.
Seems like awesome comedy shows, do tell me the channel name on which they are being showed and also tell me that channel is available on spectrum internet and TV services or not?

CSI New Scientist: Test your bloodstain analysis skills
Test your ability to identify bloodstains with our quiz
Bloodstain analysts claim to be able to identify how a bloodstain was created – whether by dragging, dripping, or impact at close range – simply by looking at it. But no-one has tested the accuracy with which they can do this until now.
Brian Gestring of Cedar Crest College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, conducted a preliminary study in which 92 professional analysts and 65 non-experts were asked to name the mechanism by which ten different blood patterns were created. The blood patterns were not from real crime scenes, but were recreated using animal blood.
He found that the experts got it right 97% of the time, while laypeople guessed correctly in 21% of cases. The study, which was presented at a meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences in Denver, Colorado, last week, is a first step towards being able to quantify an error rate for bloodstain analysis. Jurors could be presented with the error rates when hearing evidence in court.
The next step will be to recreate an entire crime scene and test the ability of analysts to interpret what has happened.

2 Aridae
1 Arales
1 Araceae
Arum maculatum
English: Cuckoo-pint; Cuckoopint; Snakeshead; Adder's root; Arum;Wild arum; Arum lily; Lords-and-ladies; Devils and angels; Cows and bulls; Soldiers diddies; Priest's pintle; Adam and Eve; Bobbins; Naked girls; Naked boys; Starch-root; Wake robin; Friar's cowl; Sonsie-give-us-your-hand; Jack in the pulpit; Cheese and toast.
Synonyms: Arum vernale; Arisarum maculatum; Arum vulgare; Arum pyrenaeum; Arum immaculatum; Arum malyi; Arum zeleborii; Arum trapezuntinum; Arum heldreichii.
Region: widespread, Europe, Turkey, Caucasus.
Herb, appears in the spring; leaves purple-spotted; inflorescence poker-shaped, called a spadix, partially enclosed in a pale green spathe or leaf-like hood; flowers are hidden from sight, clustered at the base of the spadix, female flowers at the bottom, male flowers above them; above them a ring of hairs forming an insect trap, faecal; spadix purple, sometimes yellow; fruit red berries, attractive red to orange, extremely poisonous.
Content: oxalates of saponins with needle-shaped crystals which
The root-tuber may be very big and is used to store starch. In mature specimens, the tuber may be as much as 400 mm below ground level.
1. Leaves and inflorescence, 2. Underground root-stock, 3. Lower part of spathe cut open – showing in succession (from below) female flowers, male flowers, and sterile flowers forming a ring of hairs borne on the spadix, 4. Spike of fruits
All parts of the plant can produce allergic reactions in many people and the plant should be handled with care. Many small rodents appear to find the spadix particularly attractive; finding examples of the plant with much of the spadix eaten away is common. The spadix produces heat and probably scent as the flowers mature, and this may attract the rodents.
Arum maculatum is also known as cuckoo pint or cuckoo-pint in the British Isles and is named thus in Nicholas Culpepers' famous 17th-century herbal. This is a name it shares with Arum italicum (Italian lords-and-ladies) - the other native British Arum. "Pint" is a shortening of the word "pintle", meaning penis, derived from the shape of the spadix. The euphemistic shortening has been traced to Turner in 1551.[9]
As a seedling the plant has small light green leaves that are not glossy like the mature leaves. At about 5 months its leaves grow larger and glossier. At 1 year old all of the leaves become glossy and die back. The next year the plant flowers during summer.
Habitat[edit]
It grows in woodland areas and riversides. It can occasionally grow as a weed in partly shaded spots.[citation needed]
Taxonomy[edit]
A. maculatum is the type species of the genus Arum. [10] Within the genus, it belongs to subgenus Arum, section Arum. [10]
A. maculatum has a chromosome count of 2n = 56.[10]
Uses[edit]
Culinary[edit]
The root of the cuckoo-pint, when roasted well, is edible and when ground was once traded under the name of Portland sago. It was used like salep (orchid flour) to make saloop — a drink popular before the introduction of tea or coffee. It was also used as a substitute for arrowroot. If prepared incorrectly, it can be highly toxic, so should be prepared with due diligence and caution.
Cultivated[edit]
Arum maculatum is cultivated as an ornamental plant in traditional and woodland shade gardens. The cluster of bright red berries standing alone without foliage can be a striking landscape accent. The mottled and variegated leaf patterns can add bright interest in darker habitats.
Arum maculatum may hybridize with Arum italicum.[11]
Laundry starch[edit]
In 1440, the nuns of Syon Abbey in England used the roots of the cuckoo-pint flower to make starch for altar cloths and other church linens. In fact, communion linen could only be made in this way.[12]

Who Is The Bigger Streamer: The Doc Or Ninja?
Twitter: @DrDisrespect/YouTube: Red Bull Gaming
By Nathan Simmons/Updated: Aug. 11, 2020 10:30 am EST
2020 has been an interesting year in the world of streaming, but it seems like two names have been in the conversation more than any others. Tyler "Ninja" Blevins and Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm have both been in the process of reinventing their brands. Ninja became a free agent when Mixer shut down, while Dr Disrespect has been trying to keep his fans invested following a mysterious Twitch ban. With both of them back on the rise, the real question is: who is the bigger streamer?
That was a much easier question to answer last year (when both of them were still on Twitch), but a look at the numbers may help. Before Ninja's big move to Mixer last year, no one even came close to his numbers. According to GamesIndustry.biz, Ninja had 14.8 million followers on Twitch before he departed that platform. Those numbers plummeted with the move, with Ninja topping out at 3.2 million followers when Mixer went under.
Meanwhile, Eurogamer reported that Dr Disrespect had over 4 million followers on Twitch at the time of his ban. While he couldn't hold a candle to Ninja's old Twitch numbers, the Doc was outpacing Ninja's Mixer following for the better part of this year. Unfortunately, the Doc had to start all over when his Twitch channel was banned.
All of the hubbub surrounding the Doc's ban may have paid off for him in the long run, however. It's often said that any press is good press, and it appears that the hype surrounding the Doc's recent appearances would back that old adage up. Since his ban on Twitch, Dr Disrespect almost seems to be more relevant than ever. Many have attempted to unravel the mystery behind his ban, and this has inadvertently built up even more hype around the Dr Disrespect brand.
Speaking of branding, both streamers have made concerted efforts in recent years to expand their brand to new mediums. In particular, both of them have felt the call of Hollywood and have been pursuing it with varying levels of success.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ninja explained that he filmed a scene for Jumanji: The Next Level, but that scene was later cut. Afterwards, he decided to continue looking into other similar projects. He has a cameo in the upcoming Ryan Reynolds comedy Free Guy. Otherwise, it appears as though he's been chasing after other acting gigs, including voice acting, but hasn't really landed anything other than a truly bizarre spot on The Masked Singer.
Dr Disrespect, on the other hand, signed a TV development deal last year that may see an animated series made about his online persona. It's unclear if the Doc's Twitch ban will affect his television aspirations, but it's worth noting that he briefly seemed to have more momentum than Ninja in this arena.
In the last couple of months, both streamers have also staged their own returns to streaming, with wildly different results. In July, Ninja did a surprise stream on YouTube that netted well over 160,000 viewers. He followed this up by blowing fans' minds and logging into his old Twitch channel to stream with DrLupo, bringing in around 100,000 concurrent viewers at one point.
However, the Doc's surprise comeback on YouTube blew Ninja's return streams out of the water. During Dr Disrespect's teaser stream on August 6, he had racked up over 326,000 viewers a mere 48 minutes into the broadcast. As pointed out by some fans, the Doc managed to outdo Ninja in sheer viewership numbers without even showing his face on screen that day. There may have been an overwhelming number of people tuning in to find out why if he'd address his Twitch ban, but the number is nothing to sneeze at. It's also worth noting that around 250,000 viewers reportedly tuned in for the Doc's official return stream the next day.
It should be interesting to see how both streamers will continue to adapt to losing their usual channels. The Doc seems to be flourishing at the moment, transforming all of that speculation surrounding his ban into a massive number of curious viewers. Meanwhile, Ninja appears to be living his best life, only going live when he feels like it and where he feels like it. However, there are a few rumors surrounding Ninja's next moves, and the streamer has hinted that he is currently in discussions with an unnamed platform. If he did end up signing with Twitch again, he'd easily overtake the Doc's numbers because of the followers he still has through Twitch.
Once Ninja settles into a new spot and a new routine, the battle of the streamers can truly begin again. At the moment, there doesn't seem to be a clear victor. Instead, both Ninja and the Doc appear to be making the very best out of some rough career setbacks.

New research highlights the damaging effect of COVID-19 mitigations on UK pilots and the aviation industry
A study carried out by Dr Simon Bennett, Director of Leicester University's Civil Safety and Security Unit, with the assistance of the British Airline Pilots' Association, has highlighted the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on UK pilots. The research, based on a survey and in-depth interviews with pilots, looked at how being furloughed affected flight crew competencies, including retention of learned routines, faith in officialdom, faith in employers, and pilots' general outlook.
The study found that many felt their performance on return to work post-furlough was not satisfactory, and that morale across the industry had been impacted by inadequate Government and employer actions.
BALPA supports the report's recommendation that "politicians, regulators, airline boards and other actors reflect on their actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, canvass the opinions of front-line staff and work to restore, at the very least, the status quo ante."
Some statistics from the research:
More than 57% of those questioned rated the Government's performance in safeguarding the interests of commercial aviation in the crisis 'inadequate'.
Fourteen respondents (out of 223) scored their first duty (flight-deck or simulator) after returning to work in the range 1 – 4, 1 being 'unsatisfactory' (and 10 being 'satisfactory').
BALPA head of flight safety, Joji Waites said:
"This research is really useful in helping us understand the effect furlough has had on pilots. It is clear that periods of inactivity and being away from the flight deck have a detrimental effect on pilot performance and we need stakeholders across the industry to really understand this and ensure that flight safety is always a number one priority.
"It is also clear that the handling of COVID-19 by the government and employers has impacted morale amongst the flying workforce. This needs to be addressed and BALPA will continue to work with the government and airlines as the voice of pilots."
The reports on the study can be found below:
