VALCOURT, QUEBEC, CANADA – April 15, 2020 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO, NASDAQ: DOOO) has announced a series of additional measures in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. After slowing down and temporarily suspending manufacturing at all our powersports and marine operations sites around the world, we are taking additional actions, including cost-containment measures and changes in employee compensation to protect our financial flexibility and long-term growth.

Changes in employee compensation
Following the slow down and temporary suspension of all our production lines worldwide and the temporary layoff of a majority of our hourly employees, certain measures have been put in place for office workers until further notice. Depending on the region and local regulations, they include:
A global hiring freeze;
Temporary layoffs and furlough for some employees;

Q: Etymology of "fairy" All the standard dictionaries--with the notable exception of the OED--seem to trace the etymology of fairy through Old French fae to Latin fata, meaning "the fates" or "the goddess of fate". As a classical languages major with primary focus on Latin, I find this etymology of fairy doubtful. I can buy the origin from French, but the French connection to fata seems strained.
I'm familiar with the apotropaic "fair folk" being used in place of "fairy," but am inclined to think that this usage is based on an incorrect folk etymology that assumes fairy comes from fair, which in fact seems to be unrelated, coming from Teutonic sources.
The OED traces to Old French in the same way, but--interestingly to me--does not trace further.
Would anyone be willing to explain how fata would be transformed into fae? Thank you!

A: According to Wiktionary, Galician, Catalan and Occitan have a word fada "fairy" and Italian has fata with the same meaning, which seems like a clear confirmation of a Vulgar Latin form *fata meaning "fairy". (And as tchrist points out, Spanish has hada, because it had a historical change of /f/ to /h/ in many contexts.) I don't know if there are any alternative explanations for this aside from a derivation from Latin fatum/fata.
The phonological development from fata > French fée is quite straightforward: intervocalic t was lenited and lost in French, word-final a was turned to schwa, represented by the letter "e", and stressed "a" was in many circumstances fronted and raised in French, here to /e/ "é", similar to the development of the past participle suffix "-é(e)" from Latin -ātus/-āta. (There are alternative spellings, some of which may correspond to slightly different vowels.) There are many other examples of these sound changes; e.g. Fr. chaîne < Lat. catena also shows the loss of intervocalic "t" and change of final "a" to "e".
I'm not sure how to explain the semantic development but it doesn't seem too far-fetched to me.
As you can see in the OED entry, the -ry part of fairy comes from the -ery suffix; French faerie/faierie/farie/féerie was an abstract noun referring to magic or the realm of the fairies, which seems to have developed in English into a collective noun and then finally the current singular meaning. The OED records earlier uses in English that were closer to the sense of the French word:

*

*Enchantment, magic. Also: an instance of this; an illusion, a dream; a dazed or excited state of mind. Obs. [...]

*a. A magical or enchanted land or domain; the (imaginary) realm or world of fairies (sense A. 3a); fairyland; = faerie n. 2. [...]
b. Chiefly with the. The supernatural or magical beings inhabiting such a realm; fairies (sense A. 3a) collectively. Cf. faerie n. 1b. Somewhat rare in later use.

A: "fairy" is literally identical to "pari" of Persian with exactly the same meaning. "fata" is too contrived.
An Indo-Iranian origin seems most likely.

The Dot FR country-specific domain name extension is the most popular one amongst French speakers and if you possess a website in French, such a domain will be an ideal choice to get in touch with tens of millions of Internet users, taking into consideration that a .FR domain is more likely to have better French search engine positions. This doesn't include only France, but also states with substantial French-speaking communities, such as Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and quite a few of the countries in Northern and Central Africa. People from all these countries regularly use French email providers and search online for French websites, so this is a great means for you to reach them.
The domain name extension was set up in 1986, but registrations were limited to individuals and entities situated in France until 2011 when the process was liberalized. In the present day, a dot FR domain can be reserved by anybody from the EU, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland. With over 2,500,000 active domains, the dot FR top-level extension is one of the most popular country-specific extensions. And this number has increased with a whole million over the past couple of years.
If you wish to obtain a .FR domain, you can do it through our company and it will go online more or less right away. AFNIC, the Registry organization that manages this TLD, has precise restrictions about certain records that the name servers of a .FR domain need to have, and we meet these requirements, so you will not encounter any difficulties to get your site up and running in a matter of minutes. Many web hosting providers, especially resellers, don't offer the full set of records, so you can't really host a dot FR domain with them. You will have full control over your domain through our Hepsia Control Panel tool – you'll be able to change the WHOIS contact information at any time, to create and to modify Custom DNS records, to park domains, etc.
Take control of your .FR domains with the help of Electron Storm. We offer effective domain name administration solutions and our intuitive Domain Manager interface it isn't just easy-to-navigate, but it is also packed with all the features that you need in order to effectively control your domain names. You will have total control over their DNS controls and WHOIS information. You will be able to park limitless domain names, to easily set up URL forwarding, etcetera. You can to manage numerous domain names from the same place comfortably.
The Domain Manager is an essential part of the Web Hosting Control Panel, you can manage your sites too, without ever having to switch to a different Control Panel.

Glen N. Lenhoff, David A. Wecker (argued), Flint, Mich., for plaintiffs-appellants.
Jeffrey G. Heuer, Melanie T. LaFave (argued), Jennifer Anderson, Jaffe, Snider, Raitt & Heuer, Detroit, Mich., George E. Brumbaugh, Jr., County of Macomb, Asst. Corp. Counsel, Mt. Clemens, Mich., for defendants-appellees.
Before MARTIN and NELSON, Circuit Judges, and BROWN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.
Appellants Frederick Balkwill, Margo Balkwill, and the Estate of Leo Russ appeal four rulings of the district court: (1) the Rule 12(b)(6) dismissal of the appellants' claim that Carl Marlinga discharged the Balkwills and Russ "in substantial part" because they were "active in union activities," (2) the grant of summary judgment against appellants on their claim that Marlinga discharged them "in substantial part" because of their political affiliations, (3) the determination that Marlinga is entitled to qualified immunity respecting the political affiliation claims, and (4) the dismissal of the Balkwills' slander claim as untimely. 732 F.Supp. 749. For the reasons that follow, we AFFIRM the district court.
The Balkwills and Russ served as assistant prosecutors under Macomb County's former prosecutor, George Parris. Marlinga defeated Parris in a hotly contested Democratic primary race in 1984. After winning the general election, Marlinga was sworn in as the new Macomb County prosecutor. Under Michigan law, the employment as assistant prosecutors automatically terminated upon Marlinga's assuming office. Mich.Comp.Laws Ann. Sec. 49.33. Marlinga did not reappoint the Balkwills and Russ, and the district court correctly determined this to be a "constructive discharge." Christian v. Belcher, 888 F.2d 410, 416 (6th Cir.1989) (citing Branti v. Finkel, 445 U.S. 507, 512 n. 6, 100 S.Ct. 1287, 1291 n. 6, 63 L.Ed.2d 574 (1980)).
The Balkwills and Russ filed a complaint alleging age discrimination on September 30, 1986, in Wayne County Circuit Court. The action was transferred to Macomb County Circuit Court on January 1, 1987. Frederick Balkwill subsequently was elected Macomb County Circuit Court Judge, however, and thus the entire Macomb County Circuit Court recused itself. The action was transferred back to Wayne County and the complaint was amended adding a claim of tortious interference with the Balkwills' and Russ' employment contract, slander against the Balkwills, and two claims by the Balkwills and Russ under section 1983. The two claims under section 1983 include their union activities claim and their political affiliation claim.
The cause was removed to federal district court on May 26, 1989, and appellees moved respectively for dismissal and summary judgment under Rules 12(b)(6) and 56, Fed.R.Civ.P., on August 11, 1989. The district judge issued an order dismissing the section 1983 union activities claim pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6). The district judge granted summary judgment for the appellees on the section 1983 political affiliation claim and the state law slander claim. The district judge remanded the remaining claims to state court, and the appellants filed a timely appeal to this court.
The appellants appeal the district judge's ruling that the union activities claim must be dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6). They assert that their first amendment free speech and associational rights are separate and distinct and, therefore, the district court erred in applying the Supreme Court's free speech analysis in Connick v. Myers, 461 U.S. 138, 103 S.Ct. 1684, 75 L.Ed.2d 708 (1983), to their first amendment free association claim. The Connick Court held that in the discipline of public employees, only speech that involves a matter of "public concern" is protected by the first amendment. Id. at 146, 103 S.Ct. at 1689-90 (footnote omitted). This court held in Boals v. Gray, 775 F.2d 686, 692 (6th Cir.1985), that no logical reason exists for distinguishing between speech and association in applying Connick to first amendment claims, including union activities claims. Thus, appellants' attempt to distinguish their freedom of association claim is without merit.
In dismissing the appellants' allegations of discharge for union activities claim, however, the district judge based his holding on the proposition that appellants failed to aver in their complaint that their union activities touched on a matter of public concern. Because the appellants failed to allege that the union activities touched on a matter of public concern, the district judge reasoned that under Connick, supra, they failed to state a claim for which relief can be granted. We disagree.
We find the appellants' union activities claim sufficient to state a claim under the minimal requirements of notice pleading, Rule 8(a), Fed.R.Civ.P. We note, however, that appellees provided the affidavit of Marlinga, clearly stating that he was not aware of any union activities on the part of the Balkwills and Russ. We note further that the appellants failed to submit any affidavits whatsoever. Consequently, on this record the termination of the Balkwills and Russ could not have been the result of union activities. Thus, while dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) was inappropriate, we hold that summary judgment was appropriate for appellees under Rule 56 on the union affiliation claim. Cleland v. Bronson Health Care Group, Inc., 917 F.2d 266, 268 (6th Cir.1990).
The appellants also appeal the district court's grant of summary judgment on their political affiliation claim. They argue that political affiliation is not pertinent to the effective performance of a Michigan assistant county prosecutor. The appellants contend that the job of assistant prosecutor is a limited, technical and neutral position.
The Supreme Court has established that politically motivated discharge of government employees violates the first amendment unless the job is a policy-making position. Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois, --- U.S. ----, 110 S.Ct. 2729, 111 L.Ed.2d 52 (1990); Branti v. Finkel, 445 U.S. 507, 517, 100 S.Ct. 1287, 1294, 63 L.Ed.2d 574 (1980); Elrod v. Burns, 427 U.S. 347, 366, 96 S.Ct. 2673, 2686, 49 L.Ed.2d 547 (1976). In addressing whether a job is a policy-making position, this court held that the "relevant focus of analysis is the inherent duties of the position in question, not the work actually performed by the person who happens to occupy the office." Williams v. River Rouge, 909 F.2d 151, 154 (6th Cir.1990) (citing Meeks v. Grimes, 779 F.2d 417, 419 n. 1 (7th Cir.1985)). Thus, we believe it appropriate to consider only the required duties of a Michigan county assistant prosecutor, not the job as it was performed by the Balkwills and Russ.
The district judge correctly recognized that under a Michigan statute, an assistant prosecutor must "perform any and all duties pertaining to the office of prosecuting attorney...." Mich.Comp.Laws Ann. Sec. 49.42. Moreover, in holding that the job of public defender is not a policy-making position, the Supreme Court noted that a public defender's responsibilities stand "in contrast to the broader public responsibilities of an official such as a prosecutor." 445 U.S. at 519, n. 13, 100 S.Ct. at 1295, n. 13. We recognize also that other circuits have held political affiliation an appropriate consideration in the discharge of an assistant prosecutor. Clark v. Brown, 861 F.2d 66, 68 (4th Cir.1988); Livas v. Petka, 711 F.2d 798, 800-01 (7th Cir.1983); Mummau v. Ranck, 687 F.2d 9, 10 (3d Cir.1982). Because Michigan law statutorily imposes the inherent policy-making responsibilities of the prosecutor on the assistant prosecutor, we hold that the job of assistant prosecutor is a policy-making position. Accordingly, we uphold the district judge's grant of summary judgment on the political affiliation claim. Because we so hold, examination of the qualified immunity issue is unnecessary.
The Balkwills also challenge the district court's dismissal of their state law slander claim. In Carnegie-Mellon v. Cohill, 484 U.S. 343, 108 S.Ct. 614, 98 L.Ed.2d 720 (1988), the Supreme Court ruled that a federal court need not dismiss state claims when all federal claims have been eliminated. Although the federal court may decline to exercise jurisdiction, the rule is not mandatory but, instead, may be applied flexibly in all cases. Id. at 350, 108 S.Ct. at 618-19. The federal court must balance concerns of judicial economy, convenience, fairness and comity. Id.
The state issue before the federal district court involved a simple application of a basic state rule, specifically the statute of limitations on slander claims. Allowing remand of this claim to state court would have only delayed the inevitable. Michigan's statute of limitations for slander is one year. Mich.Comp.Laws Ann. Sec. 600.5805(7). The Balkwills raised the slander claim in the second amended complaint, more than one year following the alleged conduct. The claim did not arise out of the same conduct on which the Balkwills based their original complaint. Accordingly, the district court properly dismissed the slander claim as untimely. Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c).
The judgment of the district court is therefore AFFIRMED.
DAVID A. NELSON, Circuit Judge, concurring.
Although I concur in the court's disposition of the appeal and in the opinion, I write separately to offer some additional comments on the significance of the plaintiff-appellants' failure to submit any affidavits in response to the defendant-appellees' motion for dismissal and summary judgment.
In their response to the motion, the defendant-appellees stated that although a magistrate had entered an order allowing discovery to continue until March 1, 1990, "Defendants are unwilling to participate in discovery until Defendants' current Motion is decided." If, pursuant to Rule 56(f), Fed.R.Civ.P., the plaintiff-appellants had submitted an affidavit establishing, "for reasons stated," that they "cannot ... present by affidavit facts essential to justify the ... opposition," I believe it would have been reversible error for the trial court to have entered judgment for the defendants on the union-affiliation claim without ordering a continuance to permit the plaintiffs to take the deposition of defendant Marlinga. As I read the record, however, it contains no adequate explanation of the plaintiffs' failure to depose Mr. Marlinga.
The fact that Mr. Marlinga may have been "unwilling" to participate in discovery means nothing. Under Rule 30, Fed.R.Civ.P., the plaintiff-appellants were entitled to take Mr. Marlinga's deposition upon oral examination whether or not he wished to be deposed. The plaintiffs would not even have had to serve Mr. Marlinga with a subpoena; because he was a party, they merely had to give reasonable written notice, pursuant to Rule 30(b), Fed.R.Civ.P., of the time and place for the taking of the deposition. Had Mr. Marlinga failed to appear at the stated time and place, the plaintiff-appellants would have been entitled to have his pleadings stricken. See C. Wright and A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure; Civil Sec. 2107, n. 16.
The record does not indicate that the plaintiff-appellants ever gave notice of Mr. Marlinga's deposition, and they clearly failed to make the kind of showing required by Rule 56(f). See Emmons v. McLaughlin, 874 F.2d 351, 356-57 (6th Cir.1989) ("Appellant bore the burden," under Rule 56(f), "to demonstrate to the district court 'for reasons stated' why he could not oppose the summary judgment motion by affidavit and how postponement of a ruling on the motion would enable him to rebut Appellee's showing of the absence of a genuine issue of fact.") Absent compliance with Rule 56(f), this court, in my view, has no alternative but to take the action described in the court's opinion.

Oxford University Researchers Hailed Possible Malaria Vaccine Breakthrough with 77% Effectiveness
77% Efficacy Has Been Recorded in The Initial Clinical Trial, Becoming the First-Ever Vaccine to Achieve the Goal Set by WHO of 75% Efficacy
By Editor	 Last updated Jan 10, 2022
A viable malaria vaccine has been proven to be 77% effective in the initial trial, which has been recently conducted and could provide a major breakthrough to combat against the life-threatening disease. Malaria has killed more than 400,000 individuals in a single year, which mostly include children residing in the sub-Saharan region of Africa.
Although numerous trials had been conducted over the past several years across the world, this clinical research trial for a working malaria vaccine is the first one to meet the required goal by the vaccine. The researching team has said that this viable malaria vaccine would have a major impact on public health.
During the trial conducted in Burkina Faso in 450 children, the malaria vaccine was observed to be safe for administration and has shown 'high-level efficacy' over the time duration of 12 months of follow-up. Larger trials in around 5,000 children between the ages of 5 months to 3 years will now be carried out throughout four different African countries to confirm the diagnostic findings.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne life-threatening disease that is caused by parasites that are transmitted into individuals through the bite of a female anopheles' mosquito. Although the disease is curable and preventable, the World Health Organization has estimated that there have been 229 million cases across the world in the year 2019, along with 409,000 mortalities.
This disease initiates with common symptoms including headache, fever and chills, and the condition would possibly aggravate without on-time treatment, which would be consequently severe the illness, often resulting in death.
Major impact on health
The author of the study Adrian Hill, professor of vaccinology at the University of Oxford and director of Jenner Institute, stated that he believed the malaria vaccine had been the first one to reach the goal of the World Health Organization of at least efficacy of 75%. The most effective to date malaria vaccine has been able to show only 55% efficacy during the clinical trials conducted on children in Africa.
The clinical trial for the malaria vaccine was started in the year 2019, long before the appearance of COVID-19 viral infection, and the scientific team of researchers working at Oxford University has been able to develop a viable vaccine for coronavirus, with a joint collaboration with AstraZeneca pharmaceutical firm. The team has worked on the strength of their research into the malaria vaccine.
A malaria vaccine has taken a long time to come into effect because there have been thousands of malarial genes as compared to about a dozen of coronavirus variants and require a high immunologic response to combat against the disease.

Coronavirus May Have Killed Over 180000 Healthcare Workers:…
India To Pay 50000INR For Every Covid-19 Death: Supreme…
According to Prof Hill, this is a technically challenging task for the production of a viable malaria vaccine, and the previous manufactured numerous vaccines were unable to work as the task is very difficult to attain.
However, he also stated that the results of the clinical trial were very deployable and has the potential to have a massive impact on the health of the general population.
Tool to save the life
In a draft study with the research team from Oxford, The Lancet has reported that the results of the trial for R21/Matrix-M, after testing with a high dose and low dose of the malaria vaccine in African children, between the time period of May and August which is the peak season for malaria infection.
The malaria vaccine has shown that the high dose vial has an efficacy of 77% and the lower-dose vial group has around 71% efficacy. The professor in parasitology and the principal trial investigator of the Clinical Research Unit of Nanoro, Burkina Faso, Halidou Tinto, has stated that the results which have been observed are exciting and have shown unprecedented levels of efficacy.
The research team is currently looking forward to the upcoming trial of phase 3, which would be demonstrated on a large scale for safety purposes and the data of efficacy for the malaria vaccine, which is greatly required in the region.
In the region of Africa, there have been numerous mortalities after individuals were diagnosed with malaria, even more than the COVID-19 infection in the previous year.
The Serum Institute of India has been able to manufacture the malaria vaccine, and the firm says that they are confident to deliver more than 200 million vials of vaccines as soon as it would be approved by the regulating authorities.

Demystifying Discogs
Posted by Igor Kivritsky on August 29, 2022
Many newcomers to the strange world of high fidelity express bewilderment at the number of variations a particular record pressing can possess. Some releases on vinyl (and CD) have upwards of 100 different pressings. How do you know which one is the right one for you? If you're not aware of it already, let me introduce you to the online, peer-driven and managed music database Discogs ( https://www.discogs.com/ ), short for Discographies. The site includes detailed information on all genres in all formats, and not only for commercial releases, but for bootlegs, private pressings (or off-label), and promotional releases as well. Think of it as your one-stop-shop for finding out pretty much anything you wanted to know about a recording.
The site was started in November 2000 by Kevin Lewandowski, a DJ, programmer and music fan who originally intended Discogs to be a all-encompassing database for electronic music. By 2003 demand for other genres from users was growing and the site had its core code completely rewritten that year. In 2004 the site started to include hip hop, rock and jazz and its ranks had swelled to include 15,788 contributors and 260,789 releases. In 2005 the site launched the Discogs Marketplace which enabled members to buy and sell recordings from one another through it. As of May 2022 Discogs had database entries from more than 628,000 contributors regarding 15.1 million releases, in all genres, worldwide.
So, you have an immense database of information on music recordings and a portal to buy those recordings through. How do you figure out what you want? Remember, despite its bad reputation, the Internet is still our friend, especially when it comes to finding out what the record-collecting community deems to be the best pressings of a particular album – be it LP, CD, cassette or reel-to-reel tape. A quick Google search of an album title along with key words like "best pressing," "best sounding" or "best version" will usually return dozens of hits from hi-fi, audiophile or music review sites and forums. So once you're armed with a general consensus of what particular pressings (or CDs) are considered the grails, you can whittle it down to what your budget will allow, because even if the original Blue Note mono pressing of Ike Quebec's 1962 Heavy Soul is considered the best pressing of the 25 analog and digital versions available, the $500 USD cost for one in VG+ (Very Good Plus) condition may not be out of range for your ears, but it may be for your wallet.
One of the many cool things about Discogs and Discogs Marketplace is the strict vinyl condition grading system in use by buyers and sellers known as the Goldmine Standard ( https://www.goldminemag.com/collector-resources/record-grading-101 ). This standard sets out criteria from Mint to Poor with six levels in between, so you can be sure you know exactly what condition of LP, CD, cassette or tape you're purchasing. It also applies to sleeves. Want to know what weight of vinyl the original 1959 mono pressing of At The Crossroads with Sonny Criss (Peacock's Progressive Jazz – PLP-91) tipped the scales at? Discogs has it. Want to know who the remix engineers were on the 1974 Blue Note LP ( BN-LA142-G) Blacks And Blues by Bobbi Humphrey? Discogs has it. Want to buy an original 2xLP unipak Japanese pressing of The Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street (P-5051-2S) with obi, insert and inner sleeves? Discogs has it.
The only downside to Discogs is its ubiquity in the record market now, and not just for online sales, bricks and mortar shops use it to determine pricing on practically all their used stock. Gone are the days of ever scoring a holy grail album like a coveted turquoise version of the Led Zeppelin/ST LP for $25. Many will recall the debut LP having a cover showing the Hindenburg disaster with "Led Zeppelin" in orange lettering at the top left corner… but the third initial pressing (Atlantic – 588171) accidentally used turquoise for the lettering – something an absentminded record shop employee could easily miss. Not any more. This turquoise version is currently going for a cool $2,500 USD if your budget allows.

Q: Prototype object's array i've a nice problem here. I need to understand this
Foo = function(){
};

Foo.prototype = {
buttons: new Array(),
index:'',
add: function(value)
{
    this.buttons.push(value);
},
clear:function(){
    this.buttons=new Array();
},
count:function(){
    return(this.buttons.length);
},
setIndex:function(index){
    this.index;
},
getIndex:function(index){
    return this.index;
}
};

var A= new Foo();
var B= new Foo();

A.add('toto');
B.add('tata');

A.setIndex(8);
B.setIndex(44);

alert(A.count()+"---"+A.getIndex());

That code gives me : "2---8" !!
So A.count() returns me A.count() + B.count(). Same with B.count() !!
Can anyone explain me this, already had this problem ? How to do ? i simply need the array "buttons" to be unique, proper to each object.

A: This is not how prototypical inheritance works, A and B have the same prototype, this means they have the same buttons array.
In JavaScript inheritance is prototypical, what you'd like is for each "Foo" object to have a separate buttons array but you're adding it to Foo's prototype so it's shared across all of its instances.
You can change this:
var Foo = function(){
};

To
Foo = function(){
   this.buttons = []; //add an empty buttons array to every foo element.
};

That would make it work, another alternative would be to call the clear method first, it would instantiate a new buttons array.
Note that prototypical inheritance is mostly about sharing functionality and not properties. You'd like each of your Foo instances to have the same functionality but to each have their own buttons array.
Some resources to help you:
Here is a good tutorial about how the prototypical chain works on MDN
Here is Addy Osmani's (Google) chapter about the constructor pattern from his JavaScript patterns book
Some other tips on your code:
The syntax new Array() can be shortened to []. In setIndex you're not actually assigning the index to anything. index is probably better declared in the constructor function of Foo as well.
Note that when you're setting an object's property where such a property exists on the prototype chain it creates a new property on the object rather than modify that property on the prototype.

A: When you define the variable in the prototype it is shared across all instances of Foo. You have to define the behaviour in your object (function) Foo to have an instance of the array for each instance of Foo.


Cardiac catheter ablation is a medical procedure that doctors use as one of the primary treatments for arrhythmias, which are defined as abnormal heartbeats. The heart's electrical system controls the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat. Cardiac catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a special hospital room called an electrophysiology laboratory, or EP Lab. The ablation is performed by a heart doctor who specializes in treating problems of the heart's electrical circuitry. In the ablation procedure, thin wires called catheters are inserted into a large blood vessel in the arm, neck, or upper thigh and guided into the heart, where they are temporarily placed to first identify the cause of the arrhythmia. Once the doctors determine the location where abnormal heartbeats are causing an arrhythmia to start, they destroy (ablate) the abnormal heart tissue with radiofrequency energy delivered by a special machine. Patients often go home the same day or spend one night in the hospital and go home the next morning. This type of catheter ablation offers a cure for many arrhythmias including Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and AV nodal reentrant tachycardias. It is increasingly used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.

The past weeks the FSR has had many discussions with the board about the resits and sadly we couldn't agree on this issue. As a last resort, we contacted the board of examiners. They found that they couldn't change the date of the resits anymore because otherwise other students that assumed that the resits are going to be on a certain day could have troubles with it. And they have to take those students in account as well.
The board of examiners did ask us to analyse the problem with the resits and present it to them, so they can do something with it for the resits in the summer and the future.
The Board however did agree that resits and lectures shouldn't be at the same time. We only had one example of that (the resit of maths 3 being at the same time as the lectures of maths 4) and they would pass that case on to the schedulers. So if there are more cases were resits and lectures are at the same time, let us know.
Please understand that we have tried everything possible to solve this issue, but for the upcoming resits in January it just didn't work out. We hope that with the help of the board of examiners we can solve this problem in the future.

Geological map of the Rinkian fold and thrust belt (Palaeoproterozoic, West Greenland)
Pierpaolo Guarnieri, N. Jeremy Baker, Diogo Raeymaekers Namorado Rosa, Erik Vest Sørensen
Department of Mapping and Mineral Resources
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Abstract in proceedings › peer-review
The Rinkian fold and thrust belt lies to the north of the Nagssugtoqidian orogen in West Greenland between latitudes 69°30´N and 75°N. North of Nuussuaq it is characterised by the presence of a several kilometers thick Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary succession, the Karrat Group, which overlies and is interfolded with Archaean gneisses and supracrustal rocks. The Paleoproterozoic Karrat Group of West Greenland hosts one of the few deposits that have been mined in Greenland, the Black Angel Zn-Pb mine. However, a study of the whole extent of the Karrat Group has not been carried out since it was first mapped in the 1960s. The fieldwork program, which took place between 2015 and 2017, aimed at contributing towards the evaluation of the mineral potential of the Karrat Group, through an updated and integrated approach, supporting a detailed understanding of the mineral system(s). During three shipbased field seasons fully supported by a helicopter, the entire Karrat area was flown for the acquisition of oblique photos for 3D-photogeology and most of it was covered by new field mapping, observations and ground control. The collected geochronology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, structural geology and economic geology data, together with 3D-photogeology, improved the understanding of the complex tectonic evolution of the region, and has allowed the revision of the stratigraphy and lastly the production of three new geological maps of the area at 1:100.000 scale: Maarmorilik, Nugaastsiaq and Pannertooq map sheets. Together with the GEUS map series production, there will be also a web-GIS version of the geological maps
will also be published.

We are all Labour People – so let's remember how to work together
Grace Fletcher-Hackwood
Labour People needs you.
Over the summer, I joined Labour People: an organisation founded on the principle that Labour's people are its greatest strength. If there's ever a time we need to remind ourselves of that principle, it's now.
There's no getting away from the heated disagreements within the pright now. (I have identical twin sisters who voted for different leadership candidates, so I am familiar with the comparisons to civil war.) But it is a crying shame – an unnecessary shame at that – if this division continues to foster a culture of mistrust among our members.
Because the overwhelming majority of Labour members – whenever they joined the party; wherever they fall between the left and centre; whoever, to put it bluntly, they are backing in the current leadership race or any other internal selection – are a vast, vital and often undervalued resource.
Just about every one of us knows a Labour member or supporter, from our CLP or our Women's Forum or our Facebook friends list, who is even more impressive in their nine-to-five than they are when they're out pounding the pavements for Labour. (You may well be one of those members, in which case there is important information for you below).
The exhortation to "get out knocking on doors!" has been used almost as an accusation in recent months – but while campaigning is, absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt, the most important thing any member can do for the Labour Party, it's far from the only thing many of us are capable of contributing.
There are a lot of people who know this already, of course – Labour people who have been trying in vain for years to offer their expertise to the party, and finding it near impossible unless they already had connections. That's a lot of talent going to waste.
That's where Labour People comes in. We seek out those Labour members who have specialist skills, and a little time and capacity to spare, and we match them with parliamentarians, socialist societies and other clients in the Labour community who think there's something more they could be doing – or something they could be doing a little better.
All Labour People volunteer in a personal capacity and give as much or as little time as they can.
Your offer could be any specialist skill that is relevant in the context of a Parliamentary office or member-led organisation, from communicating the most compelling messages in speeches or online, to developing and managing the most effective team. Our only caveat is that we avoid duplicating work that people are paid for. There are no organisers; no free websites; no unpaid internships here.
Our network also includes experts on fundraising, budgeting, polling, and even how to talk about science. Many have worked for MPs or the Labour Party in the past; others have built their own businesses or worked for leading companies and charities.
For me the most exciting part of Labour People is the chance to find out what we can do – how much value we can bring to our organisations, campaigns and the work of our politicians – if we start making the most of every member who has skills from their day job and is able to share them.
We work across the party, with no regard for which faction claims any of our volunteers or clients: as long as you're Labour, we're interested in what you can do, not what results you got on the political compass test. After all: how can we make it to the next general election without both gathering momentum and making progress?
If you're tired of infighting – so are we. If you're tired of arguing about who started the infighting – we hear you. If you think an enormous Labour membership is not a threat to be feared but a valuable resource to be drawn on, Labour People is right behind you.
If you want to find out more, you can visit our website – even better – join us for our reception at annual conference.

Acute Training Load (ATL) The overall quantity (i.e., combination of frequency, duration and intensity) of training that you have performed recently (during the past week or two).
Anaerobic Capacity The overall quantity of work that an athlete can perform by relying solely on anaerobic metabolism.
Anaerobic Threshold (AT) / Lactate Threshold (LT) The exercise intensity at which the release of lactate into the blood first begins to exceed its rate of removal so that it begins to accumulate into the person's blood.
Beats Per Minute (BPM) Unit of measurement of an individual's heart rate in number of heart beats per one minute.
Cadence The revolutions per minute (rpm) of the cranks at which you pedal.

Chronic Training Load (CTL) The overall quantity (i.e., combination of frequency, duration and intensity) of training that you have been performing over a substantial period of time – for example, several months or more.
Duration The length of time covered throughout given workout, interval, etc.
Elevation The altitude of a place above sea level.
Elevation Gain The total vertical distance in feet or meters traveled or climbed over a given distance ridden.

Training Zones Defined This is the 7-zone system Kinetic uses with the Kinetic Fit power-training app.
Variability Index (VI) The ration of Normalized Power to average power, Variability Index provides an indicator of how variable, or "stochastic," a rider's power output was during a particular workout.
VO2 Max The maximal amount of oxygen uptake that an individual can achieve during exercise – considered best measure of a person's cardiovascular fitness and sets upper limit to aerobic power production.
Watts Unit used to measure/express power output at a given time while cycling – Unit of power equal to joule output per second.
W/Kg (Watts per kilogram) A cyclists power-to-weight ratio determined by wattage output per kilogram of body weight.

Woman in the Photo………my book group just read this…….I missed out but a friend is loaning me hers when her Mom has finished it. Everyone raved about the book and we too want to take a trip to Johnstown. One of our gals is from there so we're hoping a road trip with her will happen as she'd be a great tour guide!!! ENJOY your warmth and sunshine………always took my sewing machine when we went to the FL Keys for winter and did the same thing as you………perfect to be out on the screened in porch in nature while sewing away!
Terry, I also brought my sewing machine to Florida but haven't started sewing yet. I loved your post about St. Augustine and need to add that stop on our trip too. Al Roker wrote a very good book on the Johnstown flood last year also.
Looks like a lovely place to vacation–where is this?

During Carter's final year at Sacramento State in 2014, he led the FCS in receptions (99), receiving yards (1,321) and 17 receiving touchdowns and set Sacramento State school records in all three categories according to hornetsports.com. His play earned him All-America honors from The Associated Press and the FCS Athletics Directors Association.
First NFL touchdown was a 101-yard kickoff return
All of Carter's hard work and dedication playing for different teams paid off last October against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 4 as he found the end zone for the first time in his career.
Carter received the second-half kickoff in his own end zone and returned it to the house for an incredible 101-yard first career touchdown.

Plays in honor of his late brother
When Carter was a junior in college his brother, Kaylan Carter, tragically passed away after suffering heart complications at a football practice. In an article with "Fansided," DeAndre explained that he promised his brother he would make it to the NFL and fulfill the dream they both shared.
He did just that by joining the Baltimore Ravens in 2015 and talked about honoring his brother after he scored his first NFL touchdown while with Washington.
