Royal Colleges respond to the latest findings from the NMPA
News 11 July 2019
The latest NMPA report provides a snapshot of NHS maternity and neonatal services in England, Scotland and Wales
Improvements have been made since the last report, but variation in the availability of services and facilities still remains across the country
More work needs to be done to ensure services are safe and personalised for women and their families, say Royal Colleges
The National Maternity and Perinatal Audit (NMPA) is a large evaluation of NHS maternity and neonatal services in Britain.
Launched in 2016, the NMPA uses timely, high quality data to evaluate a range of care processes and outcomes. It aims to identify good practice and areas for improvement in the care of women and babies looked after by NHS maternity services.
It is a led by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), in collaboration with the Royal College of Midwives (RCM), the Royal College of Child Health and Paediatrics (RCPCH), and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM).
Today the NMPA publishes its second organisational report which maps services, staffing and facilities across all hospital trusts and health boards as of January 2019.
It shows how maternity and neonatal services have changed since the last survey in January 2017. It also outlines where these services have improved and where further work is needed to meet national guidance and recommendations.
All 151 eligible trusts and health boards that provide on-site care for women during pregnancy and childbirth in Britain were included in the audit. In total, 130 trusts in England, 14 boards in Scotland, and 7 boards in Wales took part.
Among the key findings include:
Smoking cessation and weight management support is available at 72% and 45% of trusts and health boards respectively – no improvement since 2017.
A higher number of trusts and health boards participate in a perinatal mental health network – this has increased from 70% to 93% in England, from 43% to 79% in Scotland, and from 71% to 86% in Wales.
Access to community perinatal mental health teams increased from 72% to 91% of trusts and boards, and to specialist perinatal mental health midwives from 72% to 91% of 151 trusts and boards. Availability of psychiatrist clinics increased from 37% to 58% of maternity sites with an obstetric unit.
83% of maternity sites with a neonatal unit provided transitional care – keeping mothers and babies together and avoiding unnecessary neonatal unit admission – and this has risen from 64% in 2017.
Maternity sites with a dedicated multi-disciplinary cardiac clinic increased from 18% to 25%, with a greater geographical spread in England and Scotland than in 2017.
Access to electronic maternity records improved for community midwives, with 66% of trusts and boards reporting access at any location and 90% at midwives' community bases. But still only 19% reported that women could access their own electronic record, and the number of GPs with access decreased from 29% to 21%.
While 87% of obstetric units reported gaps in their obstetric middle grade rotas, compared to 89% in 2017, the number that required locum cover remained the same at 83%.
85% of sites reported that at least 95% of women had one-to-one midwifery care in established labour, compared to 84% in 2017. But only half (51%) of maternity sites reported that all women received one-to-one care in established labour, compared to 54% in 2017.
The report also provides a breakdown of birth settings, such as obstetric units co-located with an alongside midwifery unit, and facilities such as private bathrooms, available to women and their families.
Professor Lesley Regan, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said:
"With more than one in ten women experiencing mental health problems during pregnancy and in the post-natal period, it is highly encouraging to see a significant increase in women being able to access to specialist mental health services.
"However, it is extremely disappointing to see no improvement in accessibility to specialist services on weight management and smoking cessation. Funding cuts to local public health budgets are unacceptable and investment in these services will not only support women to be as healthy as possible before, during and after pregnancy, but give their babies the best possible start in life, and save money in the long term by preventing future health problems.
"We are also disappointed that only one in five pregnant women have access to their electronic maternity records. This is a backwards step and Trusts must take steps to address this urgently and give more women autonomy over their own healthcare.
"The report highlights that workforce challenges persist among the obstetrics and gynaecology profession, while demands on maternity and neonatal services grow. We hope the findings from this latest report will help to ensure the workforce is equipped and supported to deliver the highest levels of care to women and their families across the country."
Gill Walton, Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives, said:
"The results suggest that maternity and neonatal service provision is improving in a number of important areas as well as facing ongoing challenges, particularly around unwarranted variation.
"The RCM is pleased to see that maternity services are making continuous and considerable efforts to improve and implement recommendations from recent reviews and initiatives.
"There has also been a welcomed increase in services across the UK offering homebirth which ultimately improves choice for women."
Professor Russell Viner, President of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said:
"The expansion of perinatal mental health support is particularly welcome news. A mother's mental health can have an enormous impact on her children, particularly during the early years, and so it is right to expand provision so that more pregnant women can consult mental health professionals and specialist midwives.
"It is disappointing to see the lack of improvement in the availability of smoking cessation and weight management programmes, and simply not good enough that only one in five trusts gave women access to their own electronic maternity records.
"Good maternal health is vital for children's well-being, and so all women must be appropriately supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and postnatally. Support services have been put under immense pressure in light of recent public health funding cuts, and so we urge an immediate moratorium on any further cuts so that pregnant women and their children can access the treatment and support they deserve."
Mrs Ngawai Moss, Member of the NMPA Women and Families Involvement Group, and Chair of the NMPA Clinical Reference Group, said:
"The findings from this report enables us to view maternity care based on fact, so we can be confident, ambitious and targeted in our goals to improve future outcomes for women and their babies. There is a woman behind every number and each one has had a different experience. This report captures and harnesses these encounters into something really powerful that enables us all to have a positive impact on maternity and neonatal services for women and their families."

The report is available on the NMPA website.
Further data from the report on birth settings:
A slight increase in number of maternity sites with an obstetric unit, co-located with an alongside midwifery unit, rising from 67% to 71%, but regional variation exists.
The number of freestanding midwifery units went down from 95 to 91, while the long-term closures of these units increased, with a further eight closed for births from several months to more than a year.
Freestanding midwifery units decreased from 63 to 61 in England; from 18 to 17 in Scotland; and from 14 to 13 in Wales.
All trusts and boards offered homebirths.
An alongside midwifery unit is a maternity unit where midwives have primary responsibility for care during labour in women at low risk of complications and which is located on the same site as an obstetric unit so it has access to the same medical facilities if needed.
A freestanding midwifery unit is a maternity unit where midwives have primary responsibility for care during labour in women at low risk of complications and which is not located on the same site as an obstetric unit. If complications develop, women will be transferred to an obstetric unit by ambulance.
An obstetric unit is a maternity unit where care is provided by a team of midwives and doctors to women at low and at higher risk of complications.

JoDe Goudy, Chairman of the Yakama Nation, was denied entry to the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday. Goudy almost always dons his traditional regalia with purpose for important occasions, and a visit to the highest court in the U.S. is no exception.
But diplomacy didn't seem to sway a security guard outside the Supreme Court.
"So, the court is not to be subject to outside influence… the headdress itself will not be allowed inside the courtroom…" said a security guard, in a video posted by Goudy to social media.
"I wouldn't say it was an outright show of disrespect," he said. "I think there is probably some misinterpretation and misunderstand with regard to what our traditional attire and regalia means to us what it would mean to a person who wears a headdress to essentially ask them to remove it," Goudy said.
He was in Washington, D.C. to hear arguments in a case dating back to 2013 that questions the rights outlined in a 163-year-old treaty signed between the Yakama Nation and the United States.
The question before the court is whether a unique travel clause in the Yakama's Treaty allows members of the tribe to transport goods on state highways in Washington state tax free. Goudy refused to remove his headdress, so he was forced to wait outside until arguments were over.

William Powers, a team member of a new start-up group called PumpTire LLC, informed me a few days ago of their self inflating tire idea. James of Bicycle Design had posted on his blog that he received the same email as well so I figure that this made the rounds to many bloggers in a mass email.
The idea appears to be the brainchild of Benjamin Krempel. The internet describes him as a CEO of Aqueduct Medical, a company that develops "safe, effective, user-friendly products that improve patient recovery from facial and cosmetic surgical procedures."
So its basically a pump that operates every time its squished by rolling motion. "The tire is a 26" x 1.5" tire with a set pressure valve", says the product website. Reportedly, the tire inflates from zero guage pressure. "The pumping mechanism will pump from a flat up to 65psi."
In a blog entry back in 2008, I listed some "new" cycling ideas that would be serve as cool thought experiments, without exploring any technical or economic aspects. An "on the go tire inflation/deflation system" was first on my list and it had an almost science fiction aspect to it - the idea that the tire would have a feedback system to it to monitor pressure while riding and adjust itself after sampling pressure.
One application where this would be attractive is in public bicycles used for bike share programs where a self inflating mechanism could possibly add to some convenience. It avoids the necessity of adding an extra infrastructure for pumping air by the sidewalk or the need for individuals to carry pumps. For utility cyclists, terms like "rolling resistance" or "wheel inertia" are usually unimportant. Most just want to get from point A to B.
Having said that, a safety feature in the system is a must. The tire shouldn't injest water along with air. It also shouldn't over-pressurize and lead to tire bursts. Things like that. In the end, an interesting thought experiment ends up consuming time being developed, tested, re-tested, re-designed, at the same time needing to raise funds for the development and meeting the demands of consumer standards and regulations. By the end of it all, the inventor will want to go for a serious ride to breathe some air.
The idea of a self-inflating tire doesn't appear to have sprung up now. A few others tried to do something on similar lines, one of them if I remember correctly was an entry for the Specialized : Innovate-or-die" contest that happened a few years ago.
Both appear to charge air into the tire through pedaling. A bunch of patents on "self-inflating" tires for cars and bicycles date back to 1800's. Those can be found by a Google Patent search. That's what happens when you give people too much leisure time.
Whether Krempel actually first came up with the idea or not is not the issue. The big picture as I see is perhaps that of the slow march of the bicycle towards fulfilling an intelligent, self correcting system. Automobiles, ships and airplanes are already there but the "control architectures" in these complex systems are the by-product of externally driven factors - federal laws or economic incentives. Will the bicycle really benefit from that kind of intelligence? Sounds like a philosophical question.


Hanover/Korbach, May 31, 2016. The new ContiSportAttack 3 sport and hypersport motorcycle tire is racing from one podium position to the next. Following its overall victory in Fastbike magazine 2/2016 – first place out of seven – the Continental sports tire raced ahead of the competition in MOTORRAD magazine's 12/2016 big comparison test "highway/day-to-day" category and finished in first place. It took second place in the general classification.


The International CCS Knowledge Centre is looking forward to participating in the 'Accelerating CCUS: A Global Conference to Progress CCUS' being held in Edinburgh, Scotland from November 28-29, 2018.
There is broad international consensus that CCUS has a vital role to play in meeting global climate change ambitions. However, the International Energy Agency's 2018 'Tracking Clean Energy Progress' highlights the limited growth in both CCUS on power and industry and has categorised CCUS as 'off track' and noted that a significant increase in global CCUS deployment is required. The UK Government is committed to working with global partners to reduce the costs of CCUS and accelerate its global deployment.
A CCUS Summit, co-hosted by the UK and the IEA on the afternoon of 28 November 2018, will therefore bring together world energy leaders including Ministers and CEOs representing major energy and industrial interests and the financial community to focus on actions that could be taken to accelerate global CCUS progress. The Summit will consider the technology's importance in supporting global climate change ambitions, as well as the need for strengthened public and private sector partnerships to deliver it.
Alongside the CCUS Summit, a global CCUS conference incorporating a number of invitation only CCUS events will be held in central Edinburgh on 28 and 29 November 2018. The conference will gather speakers, delegates from governments, industry, the finance community, academia and leading experts from around the world for a series of focused meetings on how CCUS can be accelerated globally.

Don't Call Passerotto Fusion
At the buzzy Korean-Italian restaurant in Chicago, chef Jennifer Kim refuses to play by the rules.
By Elyse Inamine
Inside the kitchen of Passerotto in Chicago, you'll find a curious combination of doenjang and bagna cauda, kimchi and Calabrian chile. These building blocks of Korean and Italian cuisines aren't often found on the same plate, but for chef Jennifer Kim, it all makes perfect sense.
"That's a question I get asked a lot: 'Why Italian?'" Kim, a first-gen Korean-American, tells me over the phone. "I'm not randomly taking two things and trying to make it work. It's something that's been in the making my whole life."
Kim, 35, grew up in the quiet Chicago suburb of Schaumburg in the 1980s, a place and time when international food aisles and Korean restaurants were few and far between. While her parents worked odd jobs late into the night, she'd fix herself dinner at home, heating up spaghetti and meatballs courtesy of Chef Boyardee with a serving of her mom's makeshift kimchi on the side. "It's in no way traditional kimchi, but for us, it was kimchi when there was no kimchi," she explains.
In many ways, her dishes at Passerotto are simply more sophisticated versions of these early mashups: Cavatelli is tossed in nori butter; lamb ragu is served with chewy rice cakes; gochujang and tofu come together with Manila clams, mussels, and head-on shrimp for a clever marriage of soondubu and cacciucco, a Tuscan fish stew.
"There are a million different renditions of cacciucco—every family has their own," says Kim, who spent time eating her way up and down Italy and in the kitchen at Nico Osteria and other Italian hotspots in Chicago. "The first one I had was made by my friend's parents from Liguria. I remember I felt like I had this before: It really reminded me of soondubu."
This coming of age story translated into food is exactly what makes the buzzy new restaurant, open since May, so radical. In blurring the borders between seemingly far-flung traditions, Kim's cooking epitomizes how the children of immigrants often eat, blending the cuisine of their heritage with that of their hometown for an entirely new kind of comfort food.
"The whole menu is a progression, showing people what it's like to be an immigrant and how other cultures play a part," she says. "Why does Italian food make me feel the same way [as] when I eat Korean food? What are the bridges between the two cultures?"
These questions have resonated with diners who often bring their own experiences to the table. Recently, a couple told Kim that her popular cacciucco-soondubu hybrid reminded them of their grandmother's étouffée, a roux-enriched, tomato stew with shellfish and rice from the Creole and Cajun cooking canons. "It was such an interesting response," she recalls. "The fact that this dish isn't just emotional and personal for me but for someone else [too] is so meaningful."
And while connecting the threads between the foods of her youth has become her mission at Passerotto, she's just as determined to show how no cuisine truly stands alone.
"When I think of Korean food," she says, "there are such large Japanese and Chinese influences. What if we never had those influences? How different would Korean food be? When does traditional food start?"
She pauses. "Inevitably, food morphs—and it should."

Q: Editable datas on button click How do i make all td rows from text appear a textbox on button click to edit data in db. Example:
Before edit is clicked
After edit is clicked

A: Add a class to your table. When you click on a row, iterate through each cell in that row.
If there is no input elemenet, then get the content of the cell, clear the content and add an input element with the text.
Here is a working jsFiddle.
Warning: you should handle the name of the input values, and you should care about html tags in the value of the cells, if there are not only pure texts.
HTML

        This is a text

Although it might seem similar to human porn, it has a various visual design, and the relationship between the consumers and the characters in the anime are not the same.
'Hentai ' is an abbreviation for hentai seiyoku (Japanese for "sexual perversion "), and it is a term utilized for manga, anime, computer game, and other forms of popular home entertainment. It can refer to numerous kinds of pornographic works, however normally it 's specified as being uncensored and sexually explicit.
During the Edo Period (1603-1868), shoguns reduced the production of shunga, Japanese erotic art. Up until the late 19th century, shunga had actually been largely confined to a couple of books and journals. These were later augmented by adult pictures and the creation of comics.

The very first sensual anime, Lolita, was released in the 1980s. The series spawned a number of other pornographic anime. However prior to then, the most popular hentai anime was produced by Japanese cartoonists. Amongst them was The Dream of the Fisherman 's Wife, a story about a woman who is promoted by two octopuses. Do It Megumi San Hentai
Another crucial figure was Toshio Maeda, who was called the "god of arm hentai. " His work featured monsters that had different genitalia. He sought to get past censorship laws connecting to sexual intercourse.
The history of hentai is long and varied. While the term came from Japan, the Western World experienced a sexual revolution. The rise of modern worths made sex beyond standard marriage and sexual relationships acceptable.
The term 'hentai ' is typically described as 'perverted ', 'scary ', and 'abnormal '. In truth, hentai works have more practical styles than their cartoon-cute variations. They likewise portray characters more realistically than those in Tezuka 's manga.
Today, hentai has a wide audience. Adult themes have belonged of manga because the 1940s. Throughout the '50s and '60s, stories of male homosexuality and cross-dressing were the most common preoccupations in publications.
The hentai market began to take off after the war. In 1928, Gurotesuku was established, and it concentrated on pseudo-academic sexual material. Other publications of this period included Fuuzoku Kagaku, Kitan Kurabu, Ningen Tankyuu, and Ura Mado.
Throughout the 1970s, Hentaigaku Nyuumon was published by Akiyama Masami. The book was filled with guidance pages penned by supposed sexual specialists.
In spite of the visual distinctions in between hentai and human pornography, there are still concerns about how these 2 types of sexually exciting media influence people. This is especially real in the case of hentai. Do It Megumi San Hentai
To explore this concern, a research study was performed. The outcomes showed that hentai consumers rated anime characters more attractive than non-porn consumers, however not in a different way than other types of porn customers. Do It Megumi San Hentai
Aside from the sex-related measures, the most significant findings were that male hentai consumers were more encouraged by helping with sexual enjoyment than human pornography customers. Particularly, male hentai customers were more likely to be thinking about preventing unfavorable emotions, facilitating sexual satisfaction, and satisfying sexual curiosity. Furthermore, hentai customers were most likely than other types of pornography customers to wish for a real-world romantic relationship.
The study likewise found that male hentai consumers scored greater on steps of attractiveness, desire for a romantic relationship, and accessory anxiety than male human porn customers. When comparing the 2 types of pornography taken in via desktop computer, this is particularly real.
Nevertheless, a couple of other findings were likewise notable. For instance, hentai consumers tended to score significantly greater on the Spearman 's rho matrix for steps of tourist attraction. While hentai consumption did not modify the score on these steps for other types of porn customers, it does appear to affect ball games on the rho matrix for hentai consumers.
In addition, hentai customers rated human images more appealing than hentai customers ranked anime images, however only if the image 's background was standardized. A future study ought to take a look at the impact of the color pattern of the image on its attractiveness ratings. Future research studies should consist of more standardized background colors and pose-related variables, and a broader variety of images.
In general, this research study is the very first to examine how hentai and human porn are viewed differently, and to what degree. Whether or not these differences are the outcome of an authentic misunderstanding or just a result of the type of porn saw, a more comprehensive evaluation of the distinctions and similarities is needed.
Whether you take in hentai, you might have seen that many anime characters have a strong interest fans. These characters may even have a higher impact on hentai usage than other kinds of adult media characters.
In a current study, scientists analyzed how hentai customers and other types of porn customers perceive anime characters. The findings of the research study suggested that hentai fans are more likely to discover an anime character attractive than a comparable picture of a real individual. It also revealed that hentai customers are most likely to want to get associated with a romantic relationship with a character from an anime than a similar person. This may be a function of a higher desire for the sexually suggestive images of anime characters compared to a real human.
The researchers conducted a study with 208 individuals, with a typical age of 21. These participants completed an online survey, and a demographic questionnaire. The study included questions about anime genres, soundtracks, quality of material, and other anime-related topics. The outcomes were evaluated utilizing SPSS variation 25. Do It Megumi San Hentai
The study found that hentai fans had a greater rating on an image rating task, which measured the quality of the image and its functions. However, the image was not standardized, and the background colors were not managed for. This means that the same background color might have had a more remarkable impact on one individual 's rating than another.
The study also uncovered that hentai customers are more likely to wish to have a romantic relationship with a character from anime than a similar human. In addition, male hentai consumers were more likely to have a favorable reaction to the image, along with an interest in sexual enjoyment.
The outcomes of this study suggest that the image rating job is a clever way to determine a hentai customer 's desire to have a romantic relationship with an anime character. The study was not able to identify if these aspects are affected by the type of porn they consume. This recommends that future studies need to distinguish between hentai and other kinds of porn.
Lolicon sub-genre
During the 1980s, a Japanese sub-genre of manga was born. It was a type of slang describing stories about girls and their sexual encounters. It later on ended up being connected with pedophilia in Japan.
This sub-genre has actually developed from its starts to encompass all sorts of genres. Lolicon is a popular anime style in which young girls are portrayed in sexual circumstances. It has exceeded controversy and has actually become a part of traditional culture.
Lots of people have various viewpoints about lolicon, however, it is necessary to comprehend what it is. It is not the same as child porn, which is thought about obscene in some nations.
Lolicon is an animation style of Japanese manga. This type of pornography includes simple drawing designs and insufficient messages. The characters are not real children, however instead represent a hyper-passive state of mind. The stories are designed to align with the worth of pleasure principle. Because of its overbearing force, it is considered a bad guy.
It forbids the circulation of child porn, as well as the collection and transmission of virtual kid porn over the web. It also forbids the transportation of kid pornography throughout state lines.
This is a questionable issue, however it is not always something that US law enforcement appreciates. In reality, it appears that a number of market associations involved in anime and manga have protested the brand-new child pornography law.
The Japanese media has actually seized upon the existence of anime in the bedroom of Tsutomu Miyazaki, who was accused of killing 4 primary school ladies in 1989. In response, journalism branded him an "otaku murderer ". In addition to the death sentence, a Japanese court ruled that the developers of the anime were guilty of the crime of murder. In a 2005 follow-up exhibit, Mr. Murakami added to the program.
Although the lolicon has actually been banned in some U.S. states, the phenomenon continues to grow. It is becoming a significant part of the pop culture of Japan. The appeal of detailed entertainment among young Japanese has sustained the introduction of the lolicon. Do It Megumi San Hentai
Another essential figure was Toshio Maeda, who was called the "god of tentacle hentai. The term 'hentai ' is typically referred to as 'perverted ', 'creepy ', and 'irregular '. The outcomes showed that hentai customers rated anime characters more attractive than non-porn consumers, but not in a different way than other types of pornography consumers.
Aside from the sex-related steps, the most substantial findings were that male hentai consumers were more encouraged by helping with sexual enjoyment than human pornography customers. While hentai intake did not change the rating on these procedures for other types of pornography consumers, it does appear to impact the scores on the rho matrix for hentai consumers.

Earth's Most Powerful Natural Antibiotics
HomeConditionsTreatments
By Glenda TaylorUpdated: Nov 13, 2020
Antibiotics are substances that inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria outright. While the term largely refers to modern medications, a wide range of natural plants and substances have antibiotic effects. The effects are not as powerful as their drug counterparts, but the benefits are noticeable and can even improve overall health. That being said, no one should stop or avoid taking prescription medications and turn to natural options unless they have spoken with a doctor.
Garlic has a long history as a folk remedy for a variety of issues. However, a 2011 study proved that its antibiotic properties are more than folklore. Not only can garlic concentrate fight against bacteria, but some garlic-derived compounds have substantial antimicrobial effects. Large doses can lead to internal bleeding, but up to two cloves a day is safe and may help fight against bacteria.

Honey has notable antibiotic properties, largely due to the enzymatic creation of hydrogen peroxide. However, types of honey that do not exhibit this ability, such as Manuka honey, still have some antibiotic effects. This may be due to its low pH level, which is harmful to some bacteria. In-vitro studies have found that honey can even combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Myrrh is a natural gum that has been used in many ways throughout human history, including as a medicine. Researchers discovered that myrrh extract can fight notable pathogens like E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. Plus, the compounds of myrrh extract also have local anesthetic abilities, providing small amounts of pain relief.

Echinacea Plants
Also known as coneflower, the Echinacea genus has powerful antibiotic properties, especially against bacteria responsible for respiratory infections. In six clinical studies of around 2500 participants, Echinacea extracts were responsible for a dramatic drop in the risk of recurrent respiratory infections. Even complications like pneumonia were significantly less common when the plant was used preventatively.

A variety of herbs exhibit antibiotic properties, including oregano. Oregano essential oil contains carvacrol and thymol, which can effectively fight a variety of everyday bacteria. The herb also appears to have some antifungal properties. While oregano essential oil has the strongest effects, the herb itself and its extracts still exhibit some of these abilities.

In addition to being an incredibly popular herb in the culinary world, thyme has efficient antibiotic abilities. It may even be able to extend the shelf-life of food. Studies have proven thyme essential oil's ability to fight against E. coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis,and various fungal strains. Even diluted concentrations are effective in combating bacteria and fungi.

Cinnamon features in many dishes and is a popular home remedy for inflammation, gastrointestinal issues, and urinary tract infections. Its three main compounds are cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate, and cinnamyl alcohol, which give cinnamon its antibiotic abilities. Cinnamon essential oil was most effective against B. cereus, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea, but it also showed some effectiveness against bacteria like E. coli.

Cumin essential oils contain cuminaldehyde, cymene, and terpenoids that all possess antibiotic abilities. Bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus are sensitive to cumin essential oils, while cumin seed essential oils appear to have more antifungal properties. Evidence also shows that microwave- or oven-roasted cumin essential oils have stronger effects.

As many health experts know, rosemary is a great-tasting antioxidant. However, it also has some powerful antibiotic and antifungal abilities. Rosemary essential oil is such an effective antibiotic that it outperforms some drugs. One study showed that rosemary extract had better antibacterial activity than most other herb extracts against many common bacteria. Like other natural options, the essential oil is more powerful than the herb itself.
One of the most popular natural antibiotics, ginger has culinary, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. The compounds that provide these medicinal effects are borneol, camphene, and linalool. These substances are quite volatile, making ginger extremely effective as an antibiotic. In addition to inhibiting a wide range of bacteria, ginger essential oils prevent the growth of numerous fungi.

Q: Possible to create selectable cell- or areareferences in Excel without using VBA macro? I need to be able to switch between a couple of calculating options in a dynamic table. I this specific case it mainly means that I need to change between 3 different cells with different underlying methods. I'm not allowed to use VBA for this due to secretess rules in the environment I have to be in.
A very simplified example of what I need to do is something like this:
I have thre cells, say A1, B1 and C1. Each one include a set of functions that generate a value. In my dynamic table I have a field that does something like (very very simplified, in reality there are far more references and "A1" in the example below appears more than once);
=[@Var1]*A1
What I would like to do is to change "B2" in my formula to another cell, say A2. In A5 I then would like to be able to select between the real references A2, B2 and C2 (red arrow in picture) in some way (the best would be if it worked with a list, then I don't even have to remember the cells I want to change between!:)) Then the formula would get the real cell reference from A5 and get the value from A2, B2 or C2.

Is this even possible? If so, I hope someone is able to help me with this.
I've adapted my original question after I added the example screen shot so that the question would correlate with the picture.

A: As suggested in the comments above, I used INDIRECT. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Schools adopt Keep Britain Tidy Eco-School initiative
Eco students at Harrogate Grammar School
Children across Britain will be given a hands-on role in the 'groundbreaking' Keep Britain Tidy campaign that aims to end confusion over plastic packaging and recyclable bottles.
Over 20,000 schools will be taking part in the project through the environmental charity's Eco-Schools programme. It is a global programme involving 19.5 million children from 67 countries, making it the largest educational programme in the world.

In 2019 'The Challenge' will be a call to action for all participating schools to take part in a national survey assessing recycling in schools, finding out what waste management resources they have available as well as understanding local authority collections and recycling services.
"This National survey will be the first if its kind and will allow the schools to help advise on what they believe we should be doing to improve provision and help harmonise recycling services in schools across the country. The report will be published in an easy-to-use infographic format and made available to all relevant parties."
As part of the project, Harrogate Water will producing a video showing the lifecycle of one of their bottles. All PET bottles of Harrogate Spring are 100% recyclable and contain at least 50% recycled content, processed and supplied by Plastipak.
Harrogate Water brand manager Nicky Cain said: "The Eco-Schools project will promote discussion around waste, recycling and the circular economy in the classroom. We know that children are passionate about the environment and want to lead the way in making positive changes.

On December 19, 2019, Sheetz celebrated the opening of its 600th shop in Shaler Township, PA.
On November 29, 2019, Sheetz announced an growth right into Columbus, Ohio beginning in 2021. Presently, the major rivals in that location include Speedway, Circle K, GetGo, United Dairy Farmers, and also the locally based Duchess Shoppe. Sheetz prepares to open up 60 locations in the Columbus area by 2025 ( greater than doubling its existing store count in Ohio), with Sheetz COO Travis Sheetz telling the Columbus Dispatch that "we're not can be found in lightly". Areas currently validated will be located in Obetz (near Rickenbacker International Airport), 4 locations in Columbus proper (including one simply beyond John Glenn Columbus International Airport near Gahanna and also another near Hollywood Casino Columbus, Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet, & the previous Westland Mall), Circleville, South Bloomfield, Polairs, Reynoldsburg, as well as two each in Delaware, New Albany & Hilliard; locations in Grove City & Lancaster (the latter because of its close distance to an existing Sheetz area in Zanesville) are also expected. An additional location was intended in Worthington but was shelved as a result of local resident opposition of the proposed site being beside a water therapy plant. In January 2021, Sheetz launched a internet site, SheetzIsComing.com, to plan for its Columbus launch, with coming with electronic signboards to buzz its arrival.

In 2012, Sheetz, again, began contemplating "new principle", "fuel-free" areas. In 2014, a strategy was revealed to open such a place on the campus of West Virginia University, in Morgantown, WV. The intent was to call it "Sheetz MTO Market", nonetheless, when opened up, in February 2015, the shop was named "Sheetz Café" (although exterior signs is the same as all various other shops).
In September 2015, one more no-fuel café opened in State College, PA, near the university of Penn State University. In Indiana, , on the border of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania university, a Sheetz that previously brought fuel was taken down, as well as replaced with a no-fuel café that opened in August 2016.

Getting to know Canada's nonprofit sector: why we need better data
by Fred Williams in Uncategorized
Did you know that we can tell how many eggs are produced and how many asphalt roofing tiles are manufactured each month in Canada, but we don't know how many charities and nonprofits there are? Unfortunately, knowledge about the composition and impact of the Canada's 'third sector' has declined for more than a decade.
There is growing recognition of the impact of the sector, in terms of employment, volunteerism, service provision, community building, and contribution to Canada's GDP. In a recent paper, for example, Brian Emmett, Imagine Canada's Chief Economist for Canada's Charitable Nonprofit Sector, projects that the sector will "account for more than $200 billion in revenue and roughly 700,000 jobs in 2026". Indeed, the sector is growing. In addition to having a major economic impact and providing employment for many Canadians, the sector's impact is also felt in terms of quality of life in Canada. From arts and culture to sports and recreation, from education and research to health, from social services to religion, and beyond, the charitable and nonprofit sector plays an active part in making communities vibrant.
To speak precisely and meaningfully about the composition and impact of the sector, current and more frequently available data is sorely needed. How does the sector differ from Halifax to Vancouver? Are specific subsectors differentially impacted during tougher economic times? How is charitable giving changing over time? How is employment in the sector changing over time? What is the sector's contribution to Canada's GDP? To best answer these and other important questions, the collection and publication of corresponding data is key.
Of still greater concern, without current data, policy decisions are being made with a weaker, and less evidence-based, understanding of their impacts on the sector. Indeed, given that key information about the sector is a decade or more old, policy makers have to rely on data from before two economic recessions! Economically and socially, Canada has changed significantly since the last time the above-mentioned data initiatives were conducted. The sector itself has also changed. But, how has the sector changed? What does it look like now? What is its current impact for Canada and the communities it serves across our country?
Working group on Sector-Wide Data
Major stakeholders have come together in a sector-wide data working group to improve the availability and accessibility of data about the charitable and nonprofit sector (meet the working group).
The working group's mandate is to:
Map out currently available federal data resources for the charitable and nonprofit sector and identify data gaps
Develop policy recommendations on what the federal government can do to address the gaps in data
Our goal is to advocate for renewed and improved information about the sector, which contributed over $160 billion to the Canadian economy in 2007 (Satellite Account) and featured $112 billion in revenues in 2003 (NSNVO). The group aims to advance the collection and publication of data pertaining to the wellbeing and nature of the sector. This includes data about the size (e.g., by annual revenue and economic impact), subsector breakdown (e.g., arts and culture, social services, etc.), staff and volunteer resources, and financing of the sector.

There are many parallels between this and Potatoes in Spring. And there are some subtle and some less subtle differences.
We have both used material produced by young German women. Marianne Wheelaghan's "account" covers the years from 1932 to 1947 and mine form 1938 to 1947. Both of our accounts are more intense as we lead up to the outbreak of World War II and both take bigger leaps towards the end. We have both translated from German and have had to fill in the gaps when we couldn't read the writing. We both feel that we have brought something of a young German woman's voice that isn't a 21st century one to what we have written, and that our reader may need to work a little to understand that voice.
Both works add something new to a topic that has been much discussed. Both of us have complemented the fantastic primary resources we have had with much research about the era. Both books end with some hope but neither the reader nor the central character in each know how it will work out. Marianne and I actually do. Our stories are about real people we know well.
The reader learns from The Blue Suitcase what it was like for one German family, who had a Polish-sounding name, and who eventually had to move from their home to the American zone after the war, pushed out first by the Russians and then by occupying Polish families. Potatoes in Spring of course is the story of a 'Mischling', of a miraculous escape for some children with severe learning difficulties and of the daily life of some ordinary German girls who had little idea if what was actually happening in their country. Somehow many of the issues are nevertheless similar. And we both have teenage girls behaving … like teenage girls.
The Blue Suitcase is a mixture of letters and diary entries, some of which are quite long and read like fiction. Potatoes in Spring is a mixture letters and short scenes, some of which are based on written and verbal accounts from the central character. I have possibly strayed a little further away from my primary resources than has Weelaghan but I've had to do that partly because otherwise I would have had too many characters and I didn't have quite as much material in the first place. In spirit, actually, the two books have much in common.

Fort Worth Nurse Anesthetist On Treating COVID-19 In NYC: 'Everyone Was Sick And Everyone Was Dying'
KERA | By Christopher Connelly
Published April 25, 2020 at 10:18 AM CDT
Annie Quasnitschka, decked out in personal protective equipment and carrying a portable ventilator, says she hopes the worst is over in New York. She's been there since the end of March treating patients with COVID-19.
Annie Quasnitschka was supposed to start her new job in March. She'd left her job at JPS Hospital in Fort Worth, and was planning a new life as a traveling freelancing nurse anesthetist. She'd landed her first contract. Then, all elective surgeries were cancelled.
"When the elective procedures were canceled, so was my job. So we came up here," she said. "I made the decision and within 18 hours I was on a plane."
Up here was New York City, where she and her partner – also a nurse anesthetist – have been working since late March. By that point, it had become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S.
As the infections spread and communities started hunkering down, healthcare workers have been faced with twin realities: while some prepared for an onslaught of patients, others were furloughed, sidelined or laid off. Some traveled to COVID-19 hotspots to help out.
Quasnitschka arrived just as cases there began to peak. The small community hospital in Brooklyn where she's been working was not prepared for the flood of COVID-19 patients and was completely overwhelmed, she said: Hospital staff were stretched to the max, exhausted, and many were unable to work, already sick with the disease caused by the coronavirus. The entire hospital was crammed with patients struggling to breathe.
"People [were] on stretchers, leaning against the wall, in wheelchairs, in nooks and crannies and hallways, on oxygen, coughing," Quasnitschka recalled. "Alarms [were] going off, and you didn't know if they were going off, or who they belonged to because everyone was sick and everyone was dying."
The 12-hour shifts were grueling and grim. Quasnitschka said the training that nurse anesthetists have is widely applicable to the care COVID-19 patients require. They complete an advanced training program to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist after earning a bachelor's degree in nursing and practicing in a critical care setting for at least a year, according to the Texas Association of Nurse Anesthetists.

Nonetheless, Quasnitschka's day job before the coronavirus pandemic involved caring for surgery patients, keeping them stable while they're under anesthesia and then waking them back up a few hours later. But with COVID-19, she said so many of the patients put on respirators never wake up.
"After a patient passes away we try to have 30 seconds of silence to honor them and speak their name, because there's no family there when they die," she said.
During the peak, she said patients were crashing so frequently that even 30 seconds to observe a death was often impossible.
Now, things are calmer. But she said every day is still exhausting, still a grim crush of patients.
"From one hour to the next, I don't remember what I did," she said. "I don't remember how many patients I've done CPR on in the last two days. It was a lot though. I don't know how many family members I've called to tell them their loved one died."
But there's always another patient to get to, and that leaves her little time to dwell on the macabre. She said she can do this work every day because she and the rest of the hospital staff are in it together. Who will care for their patients, if they don't?
At the same time, she said the layers of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the deteriorated condition in which patients arrive makes this experience different than the kind of very personal caretaking many healthcare professionals are used to. Nurses write their names on their face shields because they can't recognize each other under all of their masks, gowns and other protective equipment. And the patients come in completely alone, and by the time she sees them, many are already intubated.
"I've never made eye contact with many of them. I can't touch their skin," she said. "In fact, one of my coworkers told me that she saw a patient without any PPE on and held her hand and realized that that was the first time that she touched a patient in months."
Quasnitschka said she misses her dog, back in Fort Worth. She watches "Star Trek: The Next Generation" to get her mind off of COVID-19 for an hour every night.
On days off, she and her partner stayed in their hotel room in Times Square. It's eerie, she said, empty. The lights are still on, but the Broadway billboards advertise shows canceled weeks ago. Some of the LED signs now beam messages of thanks to frontline healthcare workers.
"It does feel good," she said, "but the biggest thank you is for people to just stay home, to not give us more work and more sick people who never leave the hospital."
Quasnitschka doesn't know how long she'll be there. After she's done, she'll probably head to the next hotspot. With so many states and counties pushing to re-open, she thinks there'll be plenty of work to do taking care of patients with COVID-19.
Texas Public Radio's Petrie Dish podcast has an entire episode dedicated to nurses and the coronavirus.

PLASCON FIGHTS MALARIA WITH ANTI-MOSQUITO PAINT
LUSAKA, ZAMBIA – Kansai Plascon has official launched the world's first anti-mosquito paint at a ceremony in Lusaka this week.
The revolutionary new paint is being offered as a value-for-money alternative vector control, and aims to help Zambia reach its goal of being malaria-free by 2021.
While malaria interventions such as mosquito nets, prophylactics and insecticide spraying are still in use, the deadly disease continues to account for more than one million deaths on the African continent each year.
The Kansai Plascon Anti-Mosquito paint is specially designed to be safe to use in residential homes, public and commercial buildings. Safety on people and the environment, and Anti-Mosquito paint's efficacy for 24 months were confirmed through globally recognized Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) testing.
With a smooth matt finish, it is a durable easy-to-clean product, which is available in a range of different colours. Ideal for walls and ceilings, it also has anti-fungus and anti-algae properties to add to its many features and benefits.
Working in a public-private partnership together with the Zambian Ministry of Health, Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA), other agencies and stakeholders, Kansai Japan has developed an innovative Kansai Anti-Mosquito paint. The modified acrylic emulsion paint is powered by its unique mosquito "Knock Down" technology, giving people the peace of mind of a mosquito-free environment.
"Kansai Anti-Mosquito paint is the only product of its kind approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It has also been approved by National Environment Management Agency (NEMA) of Uganda and Zambia Environmental Management Agency. This lead-free, low emissions product can be used anywhere, which makes it the ideal way to put people at ease if they are living in or visiting a high-risk malaria area," said Kansai Japan Vice President Kalpana Abe.
The 'Knock Down' technology works by disrupting the mosquito's nervous system on contact, reducing its ability to remain on painted walls or flying too far away, resulting in it being knocked down. The knock-down effect lasts for up to two years, offering lasting protection from malaria infection and other mosquito-borne diseases," added Abe.
In addition to being one of Africa's deadliest diseases, malaria also accounts for half of school absenteeism and has considerable negative impacts on the economy.
Malaria No More is an organisation dedicated to eradicating the disease and reveals that a 10% decrease in malaria has been associated with a 3% rise in GDP. Reducing Malaria will keep children in school, allow parents to work, and reduce spending on medication and healthcare. Malaria No More also reports that the disease is the one of the biggest killer of children below the age of five.
"The launch of the Kansai Plascon Anti-Mosquito paint kicks off with the 'Help Me Get To 5' campaign where Plascon has pledged to donate paint to child day care centres in underprivileged and affected areas" adds Abe.
"The "Help Me Get To 5" campaign aims to highlight the plight of the most vulnerable malaria victims: our children, while driving consumer education on the fight against malaria. Kansai Plascon plans to forge strong partnerships with government, NGOs and the private sector to ensure the campaign has an enduring and holistic impact," said Regional Marketing Manager Bridgette Mandava.
In conclusion, Ms Abe said: "This revolutionary product will go a long way in saving lives and keeping vulnerable families and communities safe. The long-lasting benefits of keeping people healthy and strong will also be instrumental in creating healthier economies."
