Episode Title: The Penguin Goes Straight
Original Airdate: March 23, 1966
A New Year is upon us! A time of resolutions. Well, it would seem that in this week's episode of Batman, an unlikely person has made a resolution of his own. None other than the Penguin, it seems, has resolved to turn away from a life of crime and become a crime fighter instead!?! How could it be? Let's find out as Burgess Meredith returns as the waddling criminal mastermind in The Penguin Goes Straight.
As our episode begins, the Penguin is attending a play when during the intermission a masked man with a machine gun charges in to rob jewels from Gotham socialite Sophia Starr. With the help of his bullet-proof umbrella, Penguin is able to foil the criminal. He knocks the crook to the floor with a punch, even getting the word "Pow!" on the screen (usually only Batman and Robin get the on-screen exclamations). Of course, Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara are suspicious of all this and call in the Caped Crusaders.
After a failed attempt to interrogate the crook who pulled the theater job, a report comes in that the Penguin is at the Gotham Millionaire's Club. Batman and Robin arrive just as the Penguin is stopping two criminals from kidnapping Reggie Rich (related to Richie Rich?). It seems that the Penguin's career as a crime fighter is really taking off. So much so that he starts the "Penguin Protective Agency, Incorporated." He has already been hired to protect the priceless jewels of Sophia Starr. This gives our heroes an opportunity. What they need to do is create fake versions of the jewels laced with radiation that our heroes can trace (not unlike what they did to Catwoman in our last episode). The challenge is how to find out what the jewels look like without alerting the Penguin. Of course, they recruit Alfred to pose as an insurance man. He takes pictures of the jewels but almost reveals himself when he attempts to plant a bugged version of the Penguin's cigarette holder. A detector in the villain's umbrella handle alerts him to the device. Before Penguin can determine who Alfred is working for, the loyal butler literally pulls the rug out from under the crook and escapes.
However, Alfred did succeed in getting the pictures, allowing the Dynamic Duo to make their fake set. Now, they only have to plant them in Sophia Starr's safe. Unfortunately, as they try to break into the safe, Penguin and his men burst in…making our heroes look like the criminals. After a fight, the Caped Crusaders escape out the window…but the damage is done. Penguin plants a story in the paper painting Batman and Robin as the crooks. He also alerts Gordon that he'll be throwing a party at the Gotham Amusement Pier. Batman and Robin show up, but Penguin's men drop a cement-filled umbrella on their heads. Then, they string the heroes up directly behind the carnival shooting gallery…with Gordon and O'Hara about to unwittingly blow holes in our heroes. Cue the cliffhanger narration…
Cliffhanger Text:
Batman and Robin…a swinging pair of dead ducks!
What on earth can save them??
Don't shoot, Commissioner, don't shoot!!!
Good grief! Good night!
Double funeral tomorrow?
Same bat-time, same bat-channel!
Can YOU see any way out??
When I reviewed the last Penguin story we encountered, I commented on how the Penguin is probably one of the craftier villains of this series. He certainly shows that off in this episode. I mean what other Batman would go to the lengths Penguin goes to in this episode to convince the city of Gotham that he has truly gone straight? At one point, even Robin starts to question the situation and wonders if the tricky bird really has gone legit. Penguin always seems to be a few steps ahead of Batman and Robin and Meredith's performance really sells that he had every little detail of this caper planned out in great detail. Sure the Joker or the Riddler get the jump on our heroes from time to time, but you always feel a bit like they stumbled into it. Meredith's Penguin, though, leaves nothing to chance and is more than an intellectual match for Batman.
One thing I loved about this episode were Penguin's henchmen. Of course, they have odd bird-related nicknames. "Dove" is played by Al Checco, a veteran of many TV series throughout the 60's, 70's, and 80's. But the real highlight is the great Harvey Lembeck as "Eagle-Eye." Lembeck is probably best known to 60's movie fans as the sputtering villain of the Frankie & Annette Beach Party series…Eric Von Zipper. Lembeck's New-Yawk style accent is perfect for the role of a somewhat bumbling criminal henchman. It's not a huge role, but it's a treat to see him. A part of me really wishes that Lembeck had at some point been given a lead villain role on the series. He would've been fantastic!
This episode features several other treats! It's always a lot of fun to see Alfred get involved in the crime fighting. Seeing him literally yank a rug out from under Penguin's feet before dashing out of the room is a great moment. Though, it does kind of go against what I said about Penguin being clever considering that the wily bird didn't manage to figure out that Alfred has ties to Batman. Another fun moment, considering what has happened in recent Batman movies, is the interrogation scene. When Gordon and O'Hara can't get any info out of the Penguin's man, they shut off the lights and the shadowy figure of Batman appears to scare him into giving info. It's actually somewhat similar to what Gordon and Batman do with the Joker in the interrogation sequence of The Dark Knight. But, in this case, the criminal passes out of fright.
But now, if there's any fear, it's for Batman and Robin. How on earth are they going to get out of this one? And the worst part is…it might be Gordon and O'Hara who unwittingly bring about the end of the Caped Crusaders. Join us next time for Not Yet, He Aint. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel (superhero).

Firstly, a big thank you to all those residents that volunteered to be part of the Conservation Group and the contribution made since its launch early 2016. Due to work commitments however, the number of volunteers has reduced and, to achieve the ambitious targets we agreed at the launch, we need more people to help.
This is a sociable group that has been known to stop work for bacon sandwiches and a cup of tea! So, if you are able to volunteer we need people that would be willing to restore Noticeboards, clear weeds, paint, plant bulbs and anything else that will enhance the Parish of Clifton upon Dunsmore.
Contact Councillor Lesley Edwards on 07973849335 or email Lesley.edwards3156@gmail.com for more information.
Yes it's that time again….the Autumn litter pick! We will be meeting in the car park next to St Mary's Church at 9.30am on Saturday, 11th November 2017.
Routes will be available on the day along with equipment and hi-vis jackets. Please spare an hour or two to help clean up the village.
Residents can benefit from free advice on staying warm and saving money on their fuel bills after Rugby Borough Council launched a new helpline.
The freephone number is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, thanks to a partnership with the charity Severn Wye Energy Agency. The project aims to support households who struggle with cold homes or who find it difficult to pay their energy bills.
Cllr Emma Crane, Rugby Borough Council portfolio holder for communities and homes, said: "With autumn setting in and the nights getting longer, now is the time to make sure you will be able to keep warm and well this winter.
"By following some straightforward tips it is possible to keep warm and reduce your bills, and some householders may be eligible for grants or heating upgrades.
Caroline Harmon, project manager for Severn Wye Energy Advice, said: "Small changes to how we heat and use our homes can improve energy efficiency, keeping the temperature up and costs down.
"Other residents will find that they will save money by switching energy supplier or applying for a Warm Home discount.
Residents can find out more by calling the free helpline on 0800 500 3076 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Q: How to load weights from Pytorch to Keras layer by layer? I have tried tons of methods like onnx2keras, pytorch2keras and so on. But there would always be something wrong...
Since my model is not really complicated: just a ResNet18-encoder + Decoder with some skip-connections. I'm considering to simply transfer them one layer by another, from pytorch to Keras.
Before I try I'd like to ask if you have similar experience? I know there's set_weights method, but that's for keras-to-keras so nothing special. However, Keras is object-based model, so how can I assign name-based weights, e.g. 'encoder.bn1.bias', 'encoder.bn1.running_mean', 'encoder.bn1.running_var' to a BN? I don't want TF1.x solutions because all of my work is on TF2.x.
So In my opinion, it would be something like:
# 1. Save weights and names from pytorch model
weights_dict = torch_mode.static_dict()

# 2. Construct Keras model
keras_model = tf.keras.models.Model(...)

# 3. Now load weights for each layer in Keras model
for var_name, weight in weights_dict.items():
    # Assign conv with weight with'encoder.conv1.weight'
    # Assign BN with 'encoder.bn1.weight', 'encoder.bn1.bias', 'encoder.bn1.running_mean', 'encoder.bn1.running_var', 'encoder.bn1.num_batches_tracked'

But I don't know how... Look forward to your opinions!

A: Could you try pt2keras and see if it works?
link: https://github.com/JWLee89/pt2keras/
To install pt2keras, type the following in the terminal:
pip install -U pt2keras

Below is a simple example for converting resnet18.
import tensorflow as tf
from torchvision.models.resnet import resnet18

from pt2keras import Pt2Keras

if __name__ == '__main__':
    input_shape = (1, 3, 224, 224)

    # Grab model
    model = resnet18(pretrained=False).eval()

    # Create pt2keras object
    converter = Pt2Keras()

    # convert model
    keras_model: tf.keras.Model = converter.convert(model, input_shape, strict=True)

    # Save the model
    keras_model.save('output_model.h5')

    # Do whatever else that you want afterwards ...

I have attached the converted keras model visualized using netron:

Before I try I'd like to ask if you have similar experience? I know there's set_weights method, but that's for keras-to-keras so nothing special. However, Keras is object-based model, so how can I assign name-based weights, e.g. 'encoder.bn1.bias', 'encoder.bn1.running_mean', 'encoder.bn1.running_var' to a BN? I don't want TF1.x solutions because all of my work is on TF2.x.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, you cannot attach name-based weights to individual parameters in Keras like you can in PyTorch, since keras is layer-based. However, you can name the batch-norm layer, which I am guessing is not very useful to you.

Everything You Need to Know About West Elm X Rent the Runway
Allison Collins · Apr 21, 2019
We've been huge fans of Rent The Runway for years. They've been saving our butts with same-day delivery, keeping our maternity style fresh and exciting, and even making sure our accessory rotation is on point. And now it looks like they'll be expanding beyond our closets and jewelry boxes — beginning this summer, the brand has announced an exciting partnership with West Elm.
Starting this summer (just in time for your warm-weather get-togethers), West Elm will offer subscribers 26 exclusive home bundles for the bedroom and living room. Subscribers will pick from decorative pillows, quilts, coverlets, shams, and more, counting as one item in their subscription package at $159/month.
This partnership is an exciting venture for both brands — it's the first time West Elm has made product available for rent *and* Rent The Runway's first foray into home decor. "We are making it easier than ever for customers to discover great design for their spaces," says West Elm president Alex Bellos. "Each of our curated home bundles encourage subscribers to translate their playful and bold style to decorating, and allow them to experience West Elm's original, modern products from the comforts of home."
This exclusive partnership hopes to bring choice, flexibility, and the ability to try a new style without fully investing, making it a great option for those of us who move often, are trying to nail down our signature style, or want to test-drive something new. And the noncommittal ability to rent is much more sustainable than having to return the item or just tossing it. In a recent press release, the companies said that this new renting mentality in the home space allows consumers to "focus on owning the most important thing in their lives, themselves."

A cover crop is a specific plant such as rye, buckwheat, wheat, clover, oats, brassica, and others that is grown primarily for the benefit of the soil and resource protection (i.e. build soil organic matter, increase soil aeration, prevent soil erosion, etc.), rather than for harvest.
Aerial Seeding is a method of sowing seeds by spraying them through aerial mechanical means, such as a plane. The idea being that the seed is heavy enough to fall from the air between the standing crops, allowing the cover crops to germinate and grow before harvest of the primary crop. Many times planting dates for cover cropping do not always line up with harvesting of fields, so traditional methods of planting are not possible until the crops are harvested. By having an alternative method of seeding while crops are still standing, farmers are able to enjoy the benefits of planting a cover crop, such as controlling soil erosion, building soil health, retaining soil moisture and suppressing weeds, without missing appropriate planting times or rushing a harvest.
For the past 4 years NJ Audubon has also been promoting cover crop usage through our work alongside our DRWI partners in both North and South Jersey, by providing cover crop seed and use of our no-till seed drill. In Northern NJ NJA has assisted farmers with the installation of over 1,200 acres of cover crops. In South Jersey, NJA has assisted with over 1,500 acres of cover crops!

Deep Rock Galactic sends dwarves into space to drill like it's Armageddon
Deep Rock Galactic might have appeared at the Xbox conference this E3, but don't be fooled: it's already got a spot saved for it on the PC. This dwarven space adventure is running in closed alpha on Steam at the moment – though we're certainly grateful for the intriguing new trailer courtesy of Microsoft.
Into procedurally generated rockscapes? Try these Minecraft seeds.
It's more or less Armageddon: The Game, in which a bunch of gruff men travel into space to drill holes in space rocks. The difference is the drill team have long beards, and they don't appear to be doing anything so noble as saving Earth – they're after gold. Apparently a new environment hasn't altered the dwarves' taste for the shiny stuff.
You'll lead a whole gang of miners into procedurally generated cave systems – either alone or in four player co-op – and attempt to dig out everything valuable without being nibbled to death by oversized insects.
The dwarves will have distinct class and weapon systems, while the caves will fall into volcanic and icy biomes, to name but two of the environments you can expect to explore.
Deep Rock Galactic will come to Steam Early Access and the Windows 10 store early next year.

Elon Musk's Twitter takeover is on the verge of collapsing and things could get ugly
Jul 8, 2022 8:21 AM EDT
A new report is saying the takeover deal between Elon Musk and Twitter might be off, which means someone will have to pay big money.
By Daniel Coposescu
San Francisco, California - It's been months since Elon Musk had his takeover bid accepted by Twitter, but relations between the two sides have only gone downhill since. Now a new report is saying the deal might be off – which means someone will have to pay big money.
Elon Musk has reportedly gone cold on the Twitter takeover deal. © REUTERS
The Twitter takeover saga took another turn on Thursday after the Washington Post published a report saying the legal agreement between Musk and the social media giant is "in peril."
Insiders told the outlet that Twitter "has not been cooperative" when it comes to the major sticking point for this deal – exact data on the percentage of spam accounts and bots on the platform.
Back in May, Musk suddenly announced that the $44-billion buyout had been put "temporarily on hold" until his side could make sure that fake accounts only made up 5% or less of all users. That kicked off a merry-go-round of accusations and counter-accusations, as Twitter insisted it had provided all the relevant information, while the Tesla CEO accused it of breaking the terms of the arrangement.
Taylor Swift Did Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour setlist and special guests just leak?
Last month, a company source said it had caved to all demands by allowing access to its "firehose" application programming interface (API), which tracks all the platform's accounts, tweets, and data metrics.
But it seems that's still not enough for Musk, whose people are now briefing that Twitter's data just can't be trusted. To that end, the Post is saying "certain discussions around funding" the takeover have stopped, which is of course not a good sign.
Will Musk or Twitter have to pay?
Musk and Twitter have been firing shots at each other over the past months. © REUTERS
If things continue down this path, it's pretty clear that the issues won't be settled before the October 24 deadline specified in the contract.
Meanwhile, there seems to be a lot more interest in establishing guilt than finding a resolution, which makes sense when you consider the $1 billion penalty for backing out stipulated in the original agreement.
Both Musk and Twitter are now geared towards making the other responsible for any potential "termination." Although the platform's board of directors is still very much eager to get the deal over the line, the richest man in the world looks like he's lost his appetite.
Whether he'd be able to convince a judge that it's Twitter's fault for this saga souring up is another matter altogether.

Snap, a farming community off State Highway 315 six miles southwest of Carthage in southwestern Panola County, was settled after the Civil War and named for Snap Cariker, a physician and early resident. A post office operated there from 1899 to 1906, when local mail was sent to Carthage. In the mid-1930s Snap consisted of a store, a church, a cemetery, and a number of houses; the community reported seven residents in 1936. After World War II its store closed and the church was disbanded. By the early 1990s only a cemetery and a few scattered dwellings remained.

ACIC Pharmaceutical Machinery delivers complete machinery and automation solutions for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing. We have extensive experience designing, building, and commissioning both standard and custom projects. Our partners have been strategically selected, each focused on bringing a different industry leading technology to the North American market.


One of the main purposes of the Thematic Working Group on Community Health Workers is to support the generation of evidence to inform the scale up of Community Health Worker programmes which is pragmatic and contextually embedded. To try and publish and promote good work in this area we partnered with Human Resources for Health on a thematic series. We are delighted to announce that the first papers from the article collection are out now!
There are papers from a range countries about people working in quite different contexts and we also have articles which take an international or overarching approach. What seems clear is that CHW programme scale up is challenging in the face of health systems constraints and that there is no blue print approach. However, systematic and systemic interventions, for example related to human resource management or the governance of programmes is needed. Another key message is that it is important to, "put the human into human resources", and that people-centred health systems need to understand community health workers as people with their own challenges, strengths and motivations. These can relate to incentives in the health system as well as the ways that they relate to community members and institutions. We also have a lot to learn about the costs of CHW programmes and how best to asses these.
The thematic series is not finished yet and will run for some time to come. So look out for new papers and the editorial which brings together learning on what has been published so far. We have also asked some of the authors to tell us a bit more about their work. So expect blogs and other communications from the Group over the coming months.


Scientists Have Just Invented An Origami Robot That Can Do Just About ANYTHING.
Separately, origami and robots are just about the two most interesting pastimes/hobbies/curiosities that there are. Together, they make the world's coolest little machine.
Scientists at MIT have just shared their newest innovation: A teeny tiny robot capable of folding itself into a piece of origami. It's called the Untethered Miniature Origami Robot, and it's only 1.7 square centimeters. Researches hope that with future developments, a dissolvable version of this robot could be used in a medical setting: In other words, this little guy could travel into a human body, cure what ails it, and dissolve without a trace.
For now, the prototype is still pretty incredible. The small robot powers itself via neodymium magnet and four electromagnetic coils, which give it a tremendous range of motion. You're not going to believe how many tricks it can do.
Next, check out this cool robot that can ski.

As a vocabulary fanatic, this is an exciting time of year for me, because Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has released its top word of the year, along with a shortlist of finalists. These are words that, as Jeffrey Sherwood, senior assistant editor, US Dictionaries, Oxford University Press USA explains, aren't necessarily new, but have picked up steam over the course of the year and are trending in both search activity on the Oxford site, as well as on social media and the internet at large.
"The word went form being something very literal until the 20th century. Then around [the emergence of] 'toxic waste', our consciousness was raised at the importance of the word as it related to our environment," explains Sherwood.
"Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder," wrote Rumi, the 13th century poet and mystic.


It is important for you to note that recreational marijuana is legal to be used in Vegas. For the social places such as hotels, casinos, and restaurants, you will need to avoid the use of marijuana although that can happen when you have a prescription. Many places are available in Vegas, and they provide you with the best opportunity for you to enjoy while you are there. Some of these places have been highlighted here and also the activities that you can perform while there. One of the places that you can decide to visit when you are in Vegas is known as the High Roller, and it is known to have the largest Ferris wheel. You will always enjoy more when you are with the people that you know, and that is why it is a good idea for you to visit The High Roller with its Ferris wheel. The cabins are usually covered with glass, and that ensures that you have unlimited view to scenery.
You will have a wonderful experience when you get to view a light show in the Bellagio hotel in Vegas. The period for the happening of light shows is usually from eight to midnight and the time frame is fifteen minutes. The lighting plus the water work in sync combined with music and that provides a good experience. After you are done with Bellagio, you can cross the street and go to Miracle Mile, and this is a shopping mall which has a wonderful look. In the case you are planning to spend some cash and buy reminders for your loved ones, then this is the best place for that memorable buying experience. There are some shows that you can view while at the strip and they will blow your mind. In case you did not spend all of your money at Miracle Mile, then you can enjoy gambling at Fremont Street.

ConVirt Enterprise
ConVirt Enterprise Cloud
ConVirt for VMware
ConVirt for Hyper-V
ConVirt for KVM
ConVirt for Xen
ConVirt for AWS
ConVirt for OpenStack
ConVirt is a powerful virtualization management platform for administering and automating your VMware infrastructure. Use ConVirt if you need to add self-service to your VMware deployment, hybrid cloud services with Amazon Web Services, or if you want to manage multiple hypervisor platforms from a "single pane of glass".
The Challenge of Managing VMware
VMware is the virtualization market leader, with the most mature, reliable and scalable virtualization stack in the industry, including their highly robust hypervisor and comprehensive management tools. But as strong as the VMware vCloud Automation Center offering is, there are some challenges:
No Self Service – As data centers become more experienced with their vSphere and vCenter infrastructure, they are beginning to see the value of allowing internal and external customers to create and operate their own virtual machines within a quota-defined environment on a self-service basis. The challenge is that, while VMware supports this approach, it requires an expensive add-on to your existing VMware toolset, and comes with a dependency-laden, agent-based architecture that requires significant effort and planning to configure and deploy.
The challenge – how do you deliver self-service virtualization management in a cost effective way?
Fragmented Virtualization and Cloud Management – VMware would like to be a major cloud computing player, but as a latecomer to the market, they have struggled to deliver a compelling solution. Public cloud companies like Amazon and Rackspace, and private cloud players like OpenStack have become the de-facto leaders in these markets, and enterprises have made significant investments in these platforms.
The challenge – how do you extend your data center management out to the cloud to ensure enterprise-class reliability, security and governance?
Lack of VMware Alternatives – Existing VMware users may not be migrating away from VMware, but they're concerned with costs and potential lock-in. A growing number of enterprises are pursuing a strategy of "second sourcing" – deploying a different virtualization technology in a separate part of the organization. But there are potentially significant costs and downsides of creating a new virtualization silo in the data center.
The challenge – how do you manage multiple hypervisor platforms in a flexible, non-disruptive and cost effective way?
Limited Functionality for Standalone vSphere (ESXi) – VMware vSphere (ESXi) is one of the fastest virtualization platforms on the market, consumes a very small amount of resource overhead, and provides a rich set of features that are enterprise grade. But unfortunately, you cannot manage multiple standalone vSphere instances with the management client. You have to log-in individually to each server, or buy vCenter to manage the group.
The challenge – how can you centrally manage a pool of vSphere servers in a cost effective way?
ConVirt is an enterprise-wide solution for managing your virtualization infrastructure, including host servers, virtual machines, and related network and storage resources. ConVirt provides full lifecycle management of this infrastructure, including provisioning, configuration, monitoring, administration, and advanced automation and orchestration. Here are some key capabilities that our VMware customers have found valuable.
Let Your Customers Help Themselves
A ConVirt Virtual Data Center (VDC) is a web-based self-service console that provides end users with the ability to manage a pre-defined set of virtual, cloud or physical machines. Data center administrators define the compute, network, storage, quota, and user requirements for an internal or external customer, then ConVirt automatically assembles the VDC from the available pool of resources in the data center, and creates an easy-to-use self-service console for customer administrators to use.
Optimize Your Hypervisor Mix
Whether you're looking to reduce the high costs of your VMware infrastructure, manage your transition from VMware-only to a mixed environment, or consolidate multiple hypervisor silos under a "single pane of glass", ConVirt can help. One of the most powerful aspects of ConVirt is its ability to manage across a heterogeneous set of hypervisors and cloud platforms, including VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, Amazon Web Services, OpenStack, and others. By normalizing functionality across these platforms up to a "highest common denominator" level, ConVirt can apply a standard set of management capabilities across them, making it easier for your IT staff to scale and providing a viable "second source" option to reduce your costs.
Deliver Hybrid Cloud Services Combining VMware and Amazon
VMware is king of the enterprise data center, but Amazon Web Services rules in public clouds. IT organizations need the ability to deploy applications to both platforms, based on a well-defined set of requirements, governance and policy rules. ConVirt allows IT organizations to manage both of these sets of resources from a single pane of glass, delivering them to end customers via self-service Virtual Data Centers with well-defined quotas, isolation, and user models.
Manage Your Standalone vSphere Environment Centrally
Discover and manage all your vSphere(ESXi) hosts from a central web-based console, including template-based provisioning and full VM lifecycle administration. ConVirt handles the most common virtual machine operations like start, stop and connect to VM console.


In his keynote lecture for the Chronic Wounds section of the Symposium, Mr Paul Hayes (Addenbrooke's Hospital, UK) presented data from a pilot prospective randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of ReGenerCell™ in combination with compression therapy for the treatment of venous leg ulcers (VLU). Mr Hayes estimates that in vascular surgery departments, patients with VLU consume 10-20% of clinic time. VLU occur in approximately 1% of the US population , but this is increasing owing to an aging population and an increasing incidence of obesity . By 80 years the incidence is approximately 8%. In VLU the skin breaks down and does not heal as a result of insufficient venous return. Mr Hayes explained that VLU are slow to repair and even when treated with compression therapy, some wounds fail to heal within 24 weeks [9, 10]. The patients experience pain, swelling, itching, discharge and recurrent infection. In turn this has a significant impact on Quality of Life (QoL). The aim of this pilot study was to treat VLU failing compression therapy with RES produced by ReGenerCell™. Mr Hayes is hopeful that treatment with RES ReGenerCell™ can turn such wounds around – it offers a clear economic impact for health services and has an important impact on patients.
Mr Hayes described the study design, which included 52 patients with VLU across seven centers in Europe. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria entered a 2-week run-in period to ensure consistent compression bandaging across sites and assess for rapid healing or infection. At the end of the run-in, eligible patients were randomized to receive treatment with RES in addition to compression therapy (active) or compression therapy alone (control). Patients were followed for 14 weeks, measuring wound size, wound images, pain and assessing QoL using the Charing Cross Venous Leg Ulcer quality of life questionnaire (CCVLUQ) . For analysis the active and control groups were further stratified into small ulcers (≤10cm2) and large ulcers (>10cm2).
Patients enrolled on the study had an average age of 69 years. The median duration of the ulcers was 68 weeks; the average size of the small ulcers cohort was 5.8cm2, the large ulcer cohort 22.8cm2 (min. 2.0cm2, max. 43.0cm2). Most patients presented with comorbidities and these included well-controlled diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, arthritis and cardiovascular disease.
Mr Hayes presented data that demonstrated some of the ulcers achieved 100% closure by 12 weeks; there was a positive trend towards wound closure but this did not reach statistical significance. However, positive changes in re-epithelialization were observed in RES-treated large ulcers by week 4, which reached statistical significance by week 14 (p=0.01) (Figure 2).
In the small ulcers cohort effective healing on both the control and active groups was observed and Mr Hayes remarked that this was not unexpected and most likely due to good compliance of the patients with their compression therapy for the duration of the study.
Of particular note Mr Hayes felt the decrease in pain (p=0.017) the patients experienced within 2 weeks of treatment with RES was significant; a benefit not seen in the control groups (Figure 3). In addition, positive improvements in all the measured areas of the RES patients' QoL were observed, although the study was not powered to demonstrate significance in this measure.
Mr Hayes summarized that the pilot study had demonstrated statistically significant improvements in wound size, pain and health-related QoL. Treatment with RES places wounds on a healing trajectory; this was of particular note in large ulcers (>10cm2), which comprise the majority of VLU presenting clinically.
Strong results support progression to a pivotal trial, in which patients should be followed for 26 weeks rather than 14 weeks, and include a greater proportion of large ulcers. The study should also include a consistent method of wound bed preparation.
Mr Hayes concluded that chronic VLU have a huge impact on the patient's QoL, as well as the economic burden to health services. In this study, autologous regenerative cell suspensions have shown a significant benefit for patients in terms of QoL and ulcer healing.
Mr Harvey Chant (Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust, UK) discussed his experience working with diabetic foot ulcers, most of which focuses on amputations for both minor and major indications. Complex foot wounds can be caused by a combination of factors, including trauma, ischemia, infection, renal failure and neuropathy. Diabetes is also a significant cause of complex foot wounds, with 15-25% of patients experiencing a diabetic foot ulcer in their lifetime . These diabetic wounds often take months, if not years to heal, with significant impact to the patient and health service.
In this review of his experience of using ReGenerCell™ as part of his practice, Mr Chant presented the cases of seven patients with diabetes who had complications arising from neuropathy and ischemia. The team treated the patients in the unit's podiatry clinic and used a combination of negative pressure vacuum therapy to encourage granulation followed by RES produced using a small full-thickness skin sample from the same patient. Of the patients presented, five healed completely with good quality skin forming over the wound. One of the patients developed vascular issues unrelated to the treatment of RES and required amputation of the affected limb. Mr Chant described that one patient had received aggressive wound cleansing 1 week post-treatment by a health professional who was unaware the patient had received the ReGenerCell™ procedure. This patient failed to heal and Mr Chant suggested that the inadvertent removal of the newly regenerating epithelium was the cause.
Mr Chant also presented a complex foot wound that although not a diabetic foot wound, had many similarities and based on his previous experiences, led him to use ReGenerCell™ in this instance.
Mr Chant presented the case history of a 62-year-old patient who had pneumococcal sepsis requiring high doses of inotropic and vasopressor agents. Her fingers were ischemic and feet necrotic. Her right foot was unsalvageable as a result of necrosis so a below-the-knee amputation was carried out. Her left foot, however, had a healthy, intact fat pad, meaning the foot could be saved (although toes were removed). The patient was given one treatment of ReGenerCell™ followed by Telfa® Clear covered with saline-soaked gauze in dressings to create a tension bandage. At 4 weeks post-treatment the foot was beginning to heal, and at 8 weeks epithelialization could be seen. At 19 weeks post-treatment her foot was healed, but standing not achievable. Mr Chant believes that once the Achilles is extended she should be able to bear weight on the foot, so it was deemed a successful treatment for a patient in whom it would have been difficult to do a skin graft.
Mr Chant concluded that in his experience ReGenerCell™ had resulted in limb salvage and is a useful, cost-effective therapy in difficult-to-treat patients with complex wounds and multiple comorbidities.
Echoing Mr Chant's presentation, Mr Jeremy Rawlins (Fiona Stanley Hospital, Australia) asserted that a multidisciplinary approach to chronic wounds is essential and drew on his experience of managing difficult wounds in both Australia and the UK. Understanding the wound, the patient, and the difficulties the patient will have with that wound is key. Mr Rawlins also explained that an understanding of what the patient expects from treatment should be the priority. No person wants to live with a chronic wound, but the impact of the treatment on QoL must be considered. Mr Rawlins presented a number of cases including chronic wounds on the scalp, abdomen and lower limbs using a combination of treatments including negative pressure vacuum therapy, hyperbaric oxygen and skin grafting techniques, all in combination with cell suspension produced from ReGenerCell™.
Mr Rawlins presented the case of a patient with a chronic wound to the whole top of the scalp following a traumatic injury. The wound was of mixed depth, both full and partial thickness. The full-thickness injuries were treated with full-thickness skin graft. In an attempt to minimize donor skin and preserve dermis, the mixed-depth areas were treated with meshed split-thickness skin graft and RES.
Mr Rawlins then described the application of ReGenerCell™ in postsurgical oncology patients. An elderly patient presented with an open chronic wound to his upper posterior thigh, which had developed following surgery and radiotherapy for sarcoma. As a result of this treatment and other comorbidities the patient was high risk for further general anesthesia, but both patient and clinician were keen to close the wound. The surgeon felt treatment with a meshed skin graft together with RES produced from ReGenerCell™, performed under regional anesthesia, was appropriate for the patient. The procedure was successful and the wound fully healed within 10 weeks.
Mr Rawlins presented the case of a male patient with a large VLU that was unresponsive to compression therapy, but who was compliant and willing to participate in an intensive course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The wound was debrided and covered with widely meshed split-thickness skin (3:1), followed by RES. The patient responded well and complete healing of the ulcer and donor site was achieved by 8 weeks.The patient did not experience ulcer recurrence at this site .
A final case showed the treatment of a patient with complex wounds to both legs following a road traffic accident. The patient had undergone a series of repeated procedures over several months and was psychologically depressed, malnourished and anemic. On his left leg the patient had received a failed free flap followed by fasciocutaneous flap and skin grafts; in addition the bones were not knitting and he had considerable skin defects to both legs that were not healing. After discussion with the patient, Mr Rawlins and his colleagues felt that, due to infection, the patient's best option was amputation of his left leg. However, the team was able to use skin from the amputation to mesh graft and produce RES to cover the skin defects on the right leg, successfully achieving wound closure while avoiding generating an additional donor site wound. After many months of treatment the patient is now mobilized and his mood improved considerably.
In summary, Mr Rawlins stated much of his success is owing to good interdisciplinary teamwork, choosing the right treatments for the patient and regularly discussing the treatment with the patient to ensure the best possible outcomes in these often life-changing injuries.
Mr Tomàs O'Neill (Leeds General Infirmary, UK) presented a case study of a patient with a very painful VLU. Mr O'Neill explained that from the literature a trend of effectiveness of ReGenerCell™ in lower limb chronic wounds was emerging and led his team to use the device to treat an 81-year-old lady, a retired GP with an ischemic and chronic VLU on her right leg. The patient had been an inpatient and bedbound for months and suffered severe pain on dressing changes owing to the high volume of exudate. Even with opioid analgesia she found dressing changes distressing. The wound was colonized by Pseudomonas and the skin quality of the surrounding tissue was poor. Angioplasty effectively improved inflow but the ulcer remained static for 6-8 weeks. Despite compression bandaging there was no evidence that the wound had epithelialized. Debridement, dressage and honey larvae therapy were also unsuccessful. The patient, her family and the anesthetist felt a graft under general anesthesia was too high a risk. Therefore Mr O'Neill and colleagues performed a limited debridement and wash to reduce bacterial load under diluted local anesthesia. A small 4cm2 split-thickness skin graft was taken from her upper thigh and used to produce RES using the ReGenerCell™ device and applied to the wound (Figure 4).
Following treatment the most notable difference was the immediate absence of any analgesia postoperatively for dressing changes and the patient reported a total level of comfort during each dressing change. The patient herself reported that the absence of pain during dressing changes made the single greatest positive impact on her life. Over the course of 3 months the wound re-epithelialized and good-quality skin formed. At 2 months post-treatment the patient became less compliant with her dressings and compression, and a superficial infection occurred. However, after discussions with the surgeons and compliance with compression dressings the wound closed fully by 3 months post-treatment. She was also no longer bedbound and could walk independently with a stick. In this case and in accordance with the observations by other authors and the ReGenerCell™ VLU randomized controlled trial, treatment with RES reduced pain in the VLU and led to improvements in QoL.
Ms Gail Curran (Addenbrooke's Hospital, UK) followed Mr Hayes' presentation on the ReGenerCell™ randomized controlled trial by discussing the wound care regimens used during the study, which contributed to the effective healing and decrease in pain of the RES-treated patients. In the vascular outpatient clinic, patients in the control and treatment arms of the study had their ulcers irrigated with sterile saline and local anesthesia (to manage the pain) and scrubbed using sterile gauze to pinpoint bleeding. A full thickness skin sample was taken from either the hip or abdomen, disaggregated using the ReGenerCell™ device and the resulting cell suspension applied to the prepared wound by dripping and capillary action under the Telfa® Clear dressing. The donor site was sutured and moist dressings applied. Finally, compression dressings were applied.
All patients returned 1 week post-treatment to have their outer dressings removed, taking extreme care not to disturb the wound bed. The ulcer was redressed with moist dressings and compression therapy. At 2 weeks post-treatment patients reported a decrease in pain; exudate decreased; and there were areas of (fragile) granulation and re-epithelialization. At 6 weeks post-treatment a noticeable change in the patients' healing trajectory was observed and wound sizes had decreased. A second treatment was considered for patients who had not healed by 40%. At 10 weeks, depending on the original size of the wound, the majority of patients were on their way to wound closure. Dressing techniques remained the same and changes depended on wound size and exudate. At 14 weeks post-treatment, some patients had fully healed. The new skin was very fragile but the patients were compliant with compression therapy and wounds remained closed.
The usual healing time for VLU in compression is 24 weeks [9, 10] and Mrs Curran remarked that many of the patients healed before this point. She stated that it is essential that blood flow is restored to the affected limb where possible and prior to any other treatments (including cell suspension), to heal the wound and avoid ulcer recurrence. In Mrs Curran's clinic, the VLU patients treated with cell suspensions saw significant decreases in wound size, and a decrease in pain and exudate with resultant improvements in QoL. However, she is clear that patient compliance is key to success, along with good follow-up care and regular dressing changes.
Day 2 of the Symposium was opened with a keynote presentation from Dr Nik Georgopoulos (University of Huddersfield, UK). Dr Georgopoulos' research uses biological models to explore, at cellular and molecular levels, the underlying mechanisms of action of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in disorders such as chemotherapy-induced alopecia and defective wound healing. Much of Dr Georgopoulos' work relates to understanding cell signaling and how cells grow, divide, move and specialize.
Skin is very complex tissue with various components, and a specific organization to allow it to perform certain functions. Cells express specific proteins, driven by cell location. Basal cells have different properties and express different proteins to those in the higher layers of the skin. These cells rapidly divide and differentiate as they move through the epidermal layers, the protein signature changing as they do so. Dr Georgopoulos explained he uses these proteins in his research on normal and defective healing.
Research into skin regeneration aims to understand more about the processes of wound healing, looks at ways to harness or enhance it and investigate why various treatments in some patients are ineffective. This in turn builds better therapies and informs the clinician about appropriate treatments for the patient. Dr Georgopoulos explained that it is vital that the skin heals rapidly and from a survival perspective, we have evolved to close wounds quickly, which does not always have the best aesthetic result. Enoch and Leaper  explained the main stages of the process of wound healing – hemostasis, inflammatory, proliferation and remodeling stages – which overlap with each other. Everything is well orchestrated in the wound healing response, but when things go wrong they go very wrong. The presenters discuss treatments and methods to harness and enhance the stages to regenerate good quality skin; however, sometimes the results are less than satisfactory. Research at the Skin Integrity Institute at Huddersfield aims to elucidate why and how wounds fail to heal and in which patients this might occur.
Cells are friendly entities that continuously talk to each other. During wound healing there are big changes at the cellular level; the cell needs to be fully reprogrammed. Some of the changes are similar to those seen during embryogenesis. Once inflammation is triggered the immune system aims to balance and control it, and the process is orchestrated to eventually close the wound and reform the intact barrier of the skin. In a chronic wound the process stalls; processes of re-epithelialization (cell migration and proliferation) become deranged. Proteins such as metalloproteases are secreted at the wrong time; fibroblasts become quiescent and senescent; and the skin lacks oxygen. This well-defined process is disrupted and the wound remains open and at risk of infection.
In the process of skin healing, the cells signal to other cells and also respond to such protein signals. This is interesting, since multiple pathways communicate to amplify response, activate and speed up the wound healing process. These signaling proteins drive activity, such as the Wnt pathway, which drives stem cell function and renewal, and reprograms differentiated cells to have stem cell-like properties to promote wound healing. These cells are differentiated to varying extents; they have to de-differentiate and they have to move by sliding on extracellular matrix (ECM), and are completely rewired at the transcriptional level – the genes and proteins expressed change. When it comes to how the cell communicates, there is a cascade of events in which a number of proteins will relay this message. Proteins become phosphorylated and these events allow them to relay the message sent to the nucleus – transcription factors are activated and this allows the new expression of genes to promote healing. Specific proteins allow contact, but also tell the cells how to behave (move, stay put, divide).
Growth factors can be considered the driving force of wound healing, but their use as a monotherapy in the clinic has not worked well. The use of human serum (a soup of factors), however, helps keratinocytes but is detrimental to fibroblasts; human serum contacts TGF-β3, which suppresses fibroblasts. HSP-90 can constitute up to 3% of a normal cell's protein content. This protein can be released during stress and released by specific cells to override TGF-β3. Therefore, it seems that HSP-90 could be the driving force of wound healing because factors released in the wound allow epithelization. HSP-90 starts to accumulate, reaches a threshold and overrides signals to allow the next stage to proceed.
Dr Georgopoulos and his team have used the ReCell® process to investigate the cells and signals found in RES, including a number of the pathways discussed in the presentation. They have found RES exhibits a protein/signal profile expected in cells freed from contact inhibition, and in a proliferative and migratory state. They are continuing their research into how RES works with the goal of applying their findings to the clinical setting to aid the clinician in making an informed decision to select the right treatment for patients.

Georg Kohler (born in Konolfingen, Bern, Switzerland in 1945) is a Swiss philosopher. He is a professor emeritus of Political Philosophy at University of Zurich. He is also a publicist and an author. He has written books on political philosophy and modern day Swiss politics and also collaborated with other writers including Hermann Lübbe.

Kohler's early education was in grammar schools. He then studied philosophy at the university of Zurich. In 1978 he completed his Licentiate degree of Jurisprudenz (law) from the University of Zurich. Until 1980 he held the post of Assistant of Philosophical Seminars at the university but moved away to manage the family business in Vienna. He returned to teaching in 1992 and joined the Geschwister Scholl-Institute at the University of Munich. He left his post as the chairperson of philosophical research, and joined the University of Zurich in 1994 as a full professor after the retirement of his teacher Hermann Lübbe. He held the post until 2010, when he became a professor emeritus of Philosophy specializing in Political Philosophy.

Since 2008 he has been a speaker and a member of the trustees with the classical liberal think tank Liberales Institut. He frequently writes and gives interviews to newspapers and online publications, such as Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Blick and Tages-Anzeiger.

Kohler was married to Tagesschau spokeswoman and journalist Dominique Rub Kohler. She died on 15 August 2013.

At fairs, almost anything that can be—and that includes Oreo© cookies and even butter—is battered and deep fried. For the fastest-to-eat fast food, these always-fun treats are served on a stick. George Geary recounts the obscure history of how, and why, these decadent foods became a part of Americana.
For 28 years, Geary was the Culinary Coordinator of the Los Angeles County fair—the country's largest—and likewise the pastry chef at Disneyland. His most recent book, Fair Foods, is his 11th, following his acclaimed L.A.'s Legendary Restaurants. Currently Geary is working on his 13th book, on historical iconic foods from California. He often appears on Hallmark's Home and Family Channel and CBS San Diego, to say nothing of his website www.georgegeary.com, and he has led Frommer award-winning tours of the South of France for the 33 seasons.
Fair Foods will be available at a reception/book signing following the program.

Histoire

Toponymie

Dès le , la désignation « Waswanipi » désigne un lac, deux rivières et un groupe amérindien. La rivière a déjà été désignée sous l'appellation rivière Olga. Une carte de 1898 indique « R. Waswanipi » pour désigner ce cours d'eau. Au début du , lors d'un voyage d'exploration dans le nord québécois, le géologue et arpenteur-géomètre Henry O'Sullivan emprunte cette voie d'eau.

Le toponyme rivière Waswanipi a été officialisé le  à la Commission de toponymie du Québec.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma City police have identified the victim of a deadly late-night stabbing Thursday.
Officers said they were called to a stabbing in the 1400 block of Southwest 21st St. about 11:38 p.m. The victim, Roger Lee Mariel, 24, was taken to OU Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
Investigators said they have not yet determined what led to the stabbing and say there is no definitive suspect information at this time. No arrests have been made in the case, according to police.
Mariel's death marks the 14 homicide in Oklahoma City in 2017.

A once revolutionary development, undoubtedly, the cutest game on blockchain ever, CryptoKitties is not doing quite well, as the hype around it went down a bit. As we can see from the chart, the app cannot boast of a bunch of active users per day.
Thus, it is quite obvious that the developers of CryptoKitties are taking measures to fix the situation. They decided to cooperate with Gods Unchained, a card game, also developed on the Ethereum blockchain. The joint project is supposed to boost up the popularity of both games.
Correspondingly, three Kitties are going to be themed after the characters of Gods Unchained.
Will the Developers of CryptoKitties Release a New App Soon?
