Dermal Efficacy of Bendiocarb on Mammals, Used For Mosquito Control in Çukurova
AYFER PAZARBAŞI
MÜLKİYE KASAP
HALİL KASAP
Inhibitory effect of bendiocarb on serum and whole blood cholinesterase activities of rats was investigated in laboratory conditions, bendiocarb a carbamate insecticide, was applied dermally to the rats. The concentrations of insecticide (80% WP) were choosen in accordance with the spray dosages used for mosquito control and the LD_{50} dermal dosages for rats. In vitro inhibition of serum cholinesterase activity was determined by using technical bendiocarb in the same dermal dosages. Both in vitro and in vivo dermal studies showed that there is a negative correlation between bendiocarb (80% WP) concentrations and enzyme activities. Application of one dose of bendiocarb did not also have a signifıcant inhibition on enzyme activity but a cumulative effect on the following days. On the contrary, in vltro studies showed that the inhibitory effect of technical bendiocarb in the same concentrations was found to be in very high levels.

When Jesus met the first of His disciples, He asked, "What are you looking for?" (Jn 1:38). Today, Simon tells Him, "Everyone is looking for You." What happened in between?
As we continue in St. Mark's Gospel, we see that after Jesus left the synagogue in Capernaum, where He had taught and exorcised demons with great authority and power, He "entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John." Simon's mother-in-law was quite sick. When He was told about it, Jesus "approached, grasped her by the hand, and helped her up." She was healed.
By the end of the Sabbath rest, when Jews were able to move around carrying sick and troubled people, they "brought to Him all who were ill or possessed by demons." The buzz about Jesus developed and spread quickly. St. Mark describes this most eloquently: "The whole town was gathered at the door." Are we able to "see" this picture? What a dramatic demonstration of how eagerly people wanted to be near Jesus, to have His help for all the enormous problems of their loved ones or friends. Aren't we all, today, still taking people to Jesus this way, in our prayers and care for them? So many (actually, most) of Jesus' miracles of healing and exorcism in the Gospels were done as the result of an intercessory request.
It must have been a long and exhausting day for Jesus. However, "rising very early before dawn, He left and went off to a deserted place, where He prayed." Do we wonder what He prayed about? What had it been like for Jesus to see so many sick and burdened people? How did His human heart react to such a scene of suffering? He turned to His Father. They communed alone.
The solitude came to an end when "Simon and those with him" found Jesus. "Everyone is looking for You." In such a simple statement, with only five words, Simon summed up the entire human condition, from the Garden of Eden until now. When the townspeople of Capernaum heard Jesus' authoritative teaching, when they saw Him heal the sick and cast out demons, they knew that somehow He answered life's deepest needs. Whether men are conscious of seeking God or not, they know they long for someone to put all the messes of life, both public and private, right. We all wish someone would show up and break the curse of evil, suffering, and death. Someone did.
Jesus was willing to leave what must have been a time of solace for Him to take up again the work He was given by the Father to do: "Let us go to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose I have come." Isn't it interesting that God chose this particular method, preaching, as His way to alert the world that it was about to be turned upside down? Being God, He could have done it in a million different ways—Jesus could have dictated a book, printed newspapers, even written on the sky. Instead, He preached. It would be a man's voice that would proclaim God's truth and redemption. Jesus gave Himself fully to this work. He knew everyone was looking for Him.
Possible response: Lord Jesus, help me remember that somehow You are the answer to all that troubles me.
Never has the human condition, which experiences such great helplessness over the forces that appear and disappear, been more aptly described. Now can we understand why "everyone" was looking for Jesus?
Possible response: Heavenly Father, I have tasted the misery of Job. Thank You for sending Your Son to rescue all of us from it.
Here we find St. Paul describing the fire in his bones that led him all over the Greco-Roman world, several times, to preach the Gospel: "Woe to me if I do not preach it!" St. Paul understood that God has chosen the preaching of a human voice to spread the Good News of His love and provision for man. He explains here that, in order to make his preaching available to people without the burden to them of supporting his material needs, he offered "the Gospel free of charge." Jesus Himself said that laborers in His harvest were worthy of their hire (see Lk 10:7), but St. Paul willingly forfeited that right (he earned his living making tents). He was a man convinced that preaching God's message was the source of renewal for the whole of Creation. He urged other evangelists to do the same. To Timothy, bishop in Ephesus, he wrote: "Preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and teachings" (2 Tim 4:1-2).
Possible response: St. Paul, please pray that God would raise up evangelists, especially among the clergy, to preach the saving message you preached so effectively. Our world needs conversion.


I am a capitalist and physician who believes competition within a market can drive up quality and drive down cost. That's why I believe single-payer Medicare for All is an improved market solution and the best road forward for American health care.
Think about it. The market today pits doctors like me against other doctors, each in search of the most lucrative insurance contracts we can get. After all, by necessity, we're running a de facto retail business, and if we can sign on with an insurer that pays us a few bucks more for the same amount of work, it's pretty hard to turn down.
From time to time, you may have seen those little notices in your doctor's office listing insurance networks with which your doctor no longer participates. You quickly scan that list, see that your insurance company isn't on it, and forget about it. After all, you don't think it really affects you. It does.
What that notice actually means is that your physician's practice has signed a contract with a new insurer that pays more than some of their other insurers do, and that new contract promises an influx of better-paying patients. To make room for these new patients, we doctors leave networks that aren't as economically advantageous. We're just responding to the ever-changing market and making business decisions.
This is an unfair and inhumane use of the market. It makes me sick that someone's economic value determines whether physicians take care of them. This is a terrible side effect of the for-profit health care market.
It's also incredibly wasteful. A recent study from Milliman showed that the average American physician spends $99,000 per year just dealing with insurance companies. That's money that must be made up, and it eventually comes back to you and your employer in higher premiums.
Imagine, instead, that you live in a country where every person is worth the same economic value to any physician. Imagine that you could go to any doctor you choose and the payment automatically follows you. Imagine that you never have to check to see if your doctor is "in network" and that no one can tell you have to change doctors. Imagine that you — and only you — control your own health care decisions.
In other words, imagine you live in a country with single-payer, improved Medicare for All. Instead of hundreds of insurance companies, imagine the United States has one single payer — Medicare — and it includes coverage for prescription drugs, dentistry, eyeglasses and more — all without any co-pays or deductibles.
That's precisely the country we would have with the Medicare for All Act of 2019, which Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., is currently proposing.
Intuitively, one automatically assumes the costs of such a pipe-dream solution would be prohibitive, but the counterintuitive facts say the opposite: Single-payer, improved Medicare for All would cost less than the current, wasteful system. Twenty-eight independent economic analyses have come to the same conclusion: Medicare for All would reduce what our nation spends on health care.
Most of the studies predict dramatic savings — at a minimum, enough to eliminate the need for co-pays and deductibles, while adding coverage for dentistry, eyeglasses and hearing aids, and giving us access to virtually every doctor. Even a Koch-brothers-funded study a few months ago concluded that Medicare for All would save the nation trillions of dollars over 10 years.
A 2018 analysis from the University of Massachusetts estimated a 12 percent increase in overall utilization of health care services but a 9 percent drop in total administrative costs, a 40 percent drop in the 15 percent we spend on pharmaceuticals, a 2.8 percent drop created by developing uniform rates, and a 1 percent drop by reducing fraud and other waste. Overall, the 12 percent increase is more than balanced by a 19 percent cost savings, dropping our 2017 health care spending from $3.24 trillion to $2.93 trillion.
In a nation that shut down a government over a $5.7 billion wall proposal, saving $331 billion in health care is huge.
I support Rep. Jayapal's Medicare for All Act of 2019 because it applies the free market to the delivery side of health care — in favor of patients — because doctors should be competing for patients, not for insurance contracts.
Medicare for All is pragmatic, doable and necessary — because our current system is broken. It stands to reason that if we can find a way to pay for health care that's far too expensive, then we can certainly afford health care that's less expensive.

"What is truth?" Pilate turned to Jesus and asked a profound question. It is a question that continues to be debated in our day. But it is one that God has definitively answered in His written Word and ultimately revealed in the incarnate Word, Jesus Christ. It has been the duty and privilege of each successive generation of Christians to proclaim the truth of the gospel to a world that desperately needs to hear it.
In this collection of sermons, Dr. Steven J. Lawson speaks into our cultural moment, helping Christians and skeptics alike to answer Pilate's age-old question.

IT is said a picture can be worth a thousand words and for no-one is this more true than Perivale artist Leigh Glover.
The 30-year-old has made such an impression with his paintbrushes that he is just one of 55 people chosen from thousands of others to exhibit their work at the BP Portrait Award in the National Portrait Gallery.
His passion for painting meant embarking on a career in art was an obvious choice, even if it not the most steady of jobs. Aged 22, he took a diploma in portrait painting at Hetherley's School of Fine Art and has been professional ever since.
Mr Glover, of Kensington and Chelsea, does create landscapes and other work but mainly focuses on portraits.
He said: "It's much more personal, you spend about 15 hours with them in total and get to know them, what they do, their likes and dislikes, that's what you try to capture in the portrait. It's creating something that's original and getting into a zone where time passes so quickly.
Called Angles, named after one of Scroobius Pip's songs, the portrait includes images such as fighting dogs, from the song's narrative.
The BP Portrait Award exhibition runs from next Saturday (16) until September 18. Visit www.Leighglover.com to find out more about the artist's work.
This year's BP Portrait Award exhibition features authors, actors, pop stars and MPs. Catherine Nixey talks to the artists and their subjects about the art of capturing personality – toy crocodiles, high heels and all.
I'm a 29 year-old lad from Essex who has never had his portrait painted before. I don't have this one, but I have another that Leigh did. I had it in my living room for ages, but when new people came round I'd get embarrassed. My mum loved it.
I really loved a story that Scroobius did that is spoken in the first person, but in which that the first person changes characters. I chagned these characters into dogs, as dogs have stereotypical personalities. But it's not a surreal portrait; my intention wasn't Surrealism. I was trying to experiment with the way that you use paint.
Within just a few months of completing his Diploma in Portrait Painting in 2007 at Heatherley's School of Fine Art in Chelsea, London, one of Leigh's paintings ("Sonya" – go to Portraits) was accepted for exhibition by the prestigious Royal Institute of Oil Painters. It is an early accolade for a promising and up-and-coming new artist. The Royal Institute of Oil Painters exhibition is from 31 October to 11 November at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, London (just off Trafalgar Square).

Leave a Comment on EU regulators approve Moderna's COVID vaccine as pressure builds to speed up immunizations
Moderna Inc.'s COVID-19 vaccine won the backing of the European Union drugs regulator, clearing the way for a second weapon in the bloc's fight to stem the pandemic.
The recommendation was announced by the European Medicines Agency on Wednesday. The European Commission is working "at full speed" on the final clearance step, President Ursula Von Der Leyen said in a tweet.
Good news for our efforts to bring more #COVID19 vaccines to Europeans!
@EMA_News assessed that the @moderna_tx vaccine is safe & effective.
Now we are working at full speed to approve it & make it available in the EU.
— Ursula von der Leyen (@vonderleyen) January 6, 2021
EU leaders are facing growing pressure to speed up clearance and deployment of vaccines to tame a virus resurgence across the continent. The 27-nation bloc began immunizations last week with the vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, but the pace of the rollout has been uneven, prompting unfavorable comparisons with the U.K. and U.S.
France had vaccinated fewer than 10,000 people so far, compared with more than 300,000 in Germany, heaping pressure on President Emmanuel Macron to accelerate the deployment. The U.S., by contrast, has immunized more than 5 million people, and Britain more than 1.3 million.
Moderna shares rose 2.6% before U.S. exchanges opened. The vaccine was developed with the National Institutes of Health and is given in a two-dose regimen. Like the Pfizer-BioNTech shot, it's based on messenger RNA technology that previously hadn't been used in immunizations. The Moderna shot was cleared for emergency use by U.S. regulators on Dec. 18.
"This vaccine provides us with another tool to overcome the current emergency," Emer Cooke, the EMA's executive director, said in a statement. "We will closely monitor data on the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine to ensure ongoing protection of the EU public. Our work will always be guided by the scientific evidence."
The EU recently announced that it would trigger an option for 100 million additional doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, raising the total from the companies to 300 million. It's also negotiating a deal that could as much as double that amount, people familiar with the talks said Tuesday.
The bloc has ordered 160 million doses of the Moderna vaccine, the company said last month.
Moderna will likely start delivering doses within the next week, German health minister Jens Spahn said Wednesday. Germany expects to get more than 50 million doses, he said.
Shots from AstraZeneca Plc and the University of Oxford are also anticipated, though it may be some weeks before they're approved. After the EMA said last week it hadn't received enough information to review the Astra-Oxford vaccine, Astra submitted a "substantial" data package and said it would work closely with the EMA to support the start of a formal application process.
More Restrictions
Vaccines are considered the ultimate weapon against the coronavirus, which has infected more than 86 million people worldwide and killed more than 1.86 million. But getting shots into people's arms presents a huge logistical challenge and will take months, leaving governments little choice but to impose restrictions on public life to keep the pathogen from spreading out of control.
Britain, Germany and Italy all announced tougher measures to contain the spread of the virus this week.
"With every jab that goes into our arms, we are tilting the odds against Covid," U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said a televised address late Monday. "The weeks ahead will be the hardest yet, but I really do believe that we are entering the last phase of the struggle."

Jim Lyons Bids Farewell To Massachusetts House,
Pro-Life To The End
By NBP Staff | December 5, 2018, 23:27 EST
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2018/12/05/jim-lyons-bids-farewell-to-massachusetts-house-pro-life-to-the-end/
Editor's Note: State Representative Jim Lyons (R-Andover) gave his farewell address to the Massachusetts House of Representatives on Tuesday, December 4.
Lyons, who represents the 18th Essex House district, about 25 miles north of Boston, is the most visible conservative and pro-life legislator in Massachusetts.
First elected in 2010, he lost his re-election bid in the general election in November 2018. He is leaving office in early January 2019, after completing his fourth two-year term.
Below is a transcript of his remarks, based on a video. The video is below the transcript.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Speaker Robert DeLeo: The chair recognizes Representative James Lyons.
Representative James Lyons: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Before I start, though, Mr. Speaker, I just have to share something with you. I think you'll, you'll really appreciate this. When I was a senior in high school, I was elected president of my student Senate. And I had to deal with the principal. Her name was Sister Hermine. And Mr. Speaker, Sister Hermine used to refer to me as the bane of her existence. [laughter]
Not much has changed, Mr. Speaker. [laughter and applause]
Jim Lyons
Speaker Robert DeLeo: I'm shocked that anyone would look at you in that manner. I —
Speaker Robert DeLeo
Representative James Lyons: I really want to thank my colleagues. People say, "What's it like to serve in the House of Representatives with 125 Democrats and 35 Republicans?" I said, "It's a blast." I could not have had more fun. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. You guys are great.
[catches himself] I'm an emotional type of guy.
I want to thank the clerk, Stephen James, for all of your courtesies, and all of your help over the last eight years. Your staff and you have been just terrific. Thank you very much.
The court officers. Sometimes I made it a little interesting for you guys. [laughs] Sometimes. Gene had the cuffs out a few days. Especially when Petrolati was up there. So thank you, folks, all of you, for all of your courtesies. You certainly made this, as someone said earlier, this place a great place to work in. And as I said, I enjoyed it, completely.
I want to thank my staff, Jason Ross. Jason is up back. He started with us in January. [applause] He walked in here after seven years and I don't think he knew what hit him. So Jason, thank you very much, for all that you've done.
We walked in here eight years ago with a young fellow named Paul Gangi, and I know Paul's here. We looked at each other and said, "What do we do now?" We figured it out, but I want you to know that without Paul I would never have been able to do anything that we did today. Paul, thank you for everything. [applause]
Paul has a brother. His name is C.J.. When I first met him I thought it was his uncle. [laughter] But it really wasn't. It was his brother. And up in our district we have C.J. Gangi, who is a tireless friend and campaigner. Just an incredible asset to everything we did. C.J. Gangi, thanks again. For all you do. [applause]
Before I get to my prepared remarks, I do want to invite everyone to our nativity celebration. It's on December the 20th, at the Great Hall, from 12 to 4.
"O Death," asks Paul in Corinthians, "where is thy sting?" Well, I'm not qualified to speak on that, but I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, losing does have a sting. Fortunately, that sting is neither permanent, nor deep, nor grave, especially by comparison to what so many persons must endure in their own lives. During the four terms that I have served, I have had the great honor of representing the people of Tewksbury, Andover, North Andover, and Boxford. As I stand here for the final time, I can say from the first to last I did my best to promote policies and principles that I believe in, and that I believed to be in the best interests of those communities in the Merrimack Valley.
Among those policies that I fought for were lower taxes; higher local aid; less costly government regulation of small businesses, in order to promote entrepreneurship and growth; greater autonomy for parents, to be free of government overregulation; and more expansive interpretation of the First Amendment, to protect free speech and the free exercise of religion, and to protect the fundamental right of political speech and protest.
In parental rights we had a great moment, many of you were here, when Justina Pelletier and her loving family were freed from the entanglements of state government and state bureaucrats, and allowed to return home.
In the First Amendment, we won a great victory for speech when the Supreme Court ruled, 9-0, that the buffer zone bill passed overwhelmingly by this legislature in 2007 was unconstitutional. This was indeed an example of the court doing its duty to protect free speech rights, even politically unpopular speech.
At the same time, I have tried to highlight the responsibilities of judges in state courts to protect law-abiding citizens from predatory criminals.
Under the leadership of my good friend Geoff Diehl, we made a little progress rolling back punitive gas tax hikes. But generally the commonwealth, in my opinion, is still overtaxing working families, consumers, small retail shops, in order to overspend on bureaucracies like MassHealth and the MBTA.
During my terms in office we have seen increases in local aid. I'm not claiming a cause-and-an-effect. However, local aid was one of my top priorities. And I want to thank Governor Baker for his absolute commitment to our local cities and towns.
Another issue, folks, that I've stood for every day in office is the pro-life principle. I fully understand that pro-life is not a popular position here on Beacon Hill, nor is it politically [an] advantage in the state at large. Despite knowing the political price that might be paid, I engaged consistently and steadfastly on working to advance — or at least make public — the pro-life agenda.
On pro-life, it would be foolish to proclaim any great advances — or even small ones — in the legislative process. Or, quite honestly, anywhere in state politics. With the ending careers of several strong pro-life legislators this year, our minority voices advocating for the unborn will grow even dimmer. For those who believe that dissent from majority opinion and a diversity of views is healthy for this Commonwealth, the silence of our voices in this corridor can hardly be healthy for the vibrant debate that breathes life into democracy.
Finally, let me talk about the crisis that's exploded in our region, over the recent years. That is the opiate crisis that affects all communities, all economic classes, and all ethnic groups. On this we are all united across political party and philosophy in the belief that this tragedy must be fought and ultimately cured. I commend Governor Baker for taking the lead, and I commend this Legislature for standing up and funding what needs to be done in this opiate epidemic. And I would urge you to continue to fund additional facilities to provide treatment and recovery assistance.
This opiate epidemic also puts into perspective the sting that I began my words with. For this opiate addiction is a sting – a deep and abiding sting, that has become in a very real way final to far too many families across our great Commonwealth. It is truly and sadly final, and devastating to families.
Which brings me back to the things that in an ultimate sense are so much more important than wins and losses. Those are the things that we experience in our communities, in our neighborhoods, in our churches, among our friends, and most of all, in our homes, with our families. Those are the things that matter most. Those are the places we go, to strengthen our beliefs and our principles.
Family. It's important to everyone. It's very important to me. I have my family with me, Mr. Speaker, and I'm going to take the liberty to introduce them.
In 2015, during the budget debate, I filed a piece of legislation to increase funding for the opiate epidemic. The rate of recovery at certain homes was only $75. It had stayed stagnant for eight years. And I sat down with Brian Dempsey, and I said, "Brian, I really think this is an important issue." And I'd asked him to come to the Gavin Foundation with me. And I brought my son. [catches himself] And ahh [pause] my son gave a speech that day, Mr. Speaker. And after that speech Mr. Dempsey said to me, "Jim, we're going to do all we can to get that funding." And with your help, and the governor's help, we increased millions of dollars into the opiate fight. So thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
I'd like to tell my sons, both of my boys, if they'd stand up for a second. I know they're not going to want to do this. [applause] My son Mikey, and my son Tyler. I love you guys. [applause]
And finally, my bride of 37 years. Her name is Bernadette. Affectionately referred to, among a lot of people, for living with me, as St. Bernadette.
So, my wife and I met in 1976, if you can believe that. She was a freshman at Boston College and I was a street peddler, on the sidewalks of different cities in Massachusetts. And my wife is a passionate advocate for the unborn. And we have spent the last 40 years advocating for the unborn. My passion and my drive comes directly from my wife. There is no one [more] committed to helping the unborn than my wife. We have pictures on our refrigerator of children that my wife has helped their mothers bring into the world. My wife has been arrested on the street corners, she's been referred to as a terrorist. I want you to stand up. I love you, Bernadette. [applause] Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Eye in the sky: rooting out slavery from space
In Episode 5 of Series 3 we find out how satellites are being used to root out slavery from space. Our guest is Dr Doreen Boyd from the University of Nottingham who is part of a team of researchers who are the first on the world to use geospatial intelligence to identify slavery locations to support the efforts of organisations and individuals trying to root out and put an end to modern slavery in countries around the world.
Doreen explains how previously she has been using satellites to look at tropical rainforests but more recently as part of the Rights Lab project has been using them to identify locations where modern slavery is occurring
It takes many months to obtain completely cloud free images of the earth's surface but the resolution of the images is improving all the time
Todd mentions examples of where satellites have been used to identify human rights abuses such as in Sri Lanka and in South Sudan
A major part of the work to date has involved using satellite imagery to identify brick kilns in South Asia - brick kilns are often linked with modern slavery (around 70 per cent of workforce)
The project covers the so-called Brick Belt which covers 1.25 square kilometres
Todd points out that this is part of a much bigger problem and that certain industries are harder to spot from space
Doreen talks about how her team used images from the free source Google Earth to count brick kilns in an area and then statistically estimate the size of the problem
She explains how this information can then be used to expose and address the problem
Todd outlines some of the statistical techniques and how they are similar across disciplines
Discussion around who uses the evidence and how and why it is so robust and indisputable

The research team has also discovered evidence of modern slavery at fisheries in the UNESCO World Heritage site Sundarbans National Park in Bangladesh
Doreen points out that as well as identifying human rights abuses the technology can also identify environmental issues
Doreen outlines some additional work on charcoal production in Brazil
Todd mentions the risks associated with following up on evidence on the ground but also how deployment of technology (e.g. use of drones) can overcome some of those problems
Doreen talks about how being able to link environmental issues and modern slavery has had a role in promoting activism

The Rights Track podcast gets the hard facts about the human rights challenges facing the world today and aims to get our thinking about human rights on the right track. The podcast is hosted by Professor Todd Landman, a human rights scholar and champion for the advancement of human rights understanding. In our latest series, we take our podcast on the road to capture the voices, experiences and knowledge of people around the world who are part of the global coalition to end Modern Slavery by 2030. We'll find out how the work of The Rights Lab at the University of Nottingham is supporting and influencing NGOs, businesses and policy makers as it continues to pursue its world leading research agenda to evidence and support the change needed to achieve that goal. In Series 1, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, Todd interviews leading analysts at the forefront of the latest critical thinking on human rights. Each episode is an insightful, compelling and rigorous interview with academics engaged in systematic human rights research. In Series 2, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, The Rights Track turns its attention to human rights advocates and practitioners involved in the struggle for human rights to learn more about their work and the ways in which academic research is helping them. Series 3 sees our podcast joining the fight to end modern day slavery by 2030. In partnership with the University of Nottingham's Right's Lab research project, we talk with researchers who are providing hard evidence about the scale of the problem and by recommending strategies that can help consign slavery to the history books. Series 4 continues with the theme of modern slavery and sees our podcast on the road, capturing the voices, thoughts and ideas of people from around the world who are part of the global coalition to end it. Although our interviews focus on often complex research, they have been developed with a much wider audience in mind and we want them to be accessible to anyone with an interest in human rights.

Disney Reveals A New Trailer For 'Star Wars: Galaxy Of Adventures' Before Its Launch On Friday
Posted November 28th, 2018 by Jax Motes
There may not be a new 'Star Wars' movie in theaters this Christmas, but perhaps this new project will serve as a substitution. Youtube is launching a new animated series, 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures' which focuses on the cast of the original trilogy. The new series will launch on Disney's LOL Star Wars Kids website and the new Star Wars Kids Youtube channel. 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures' will mix classic stories with "fun and educational add-ons designed to help older fans, parents, and other mentors to welcome the kids in their lives to explore the galaxy far, far away." It seems as though this series will retell stories from the original trilogy but filtered for a younger audience, serving as an entry point for young kids.
Lucasfilm's VP franchise content and strategy James Waugh stated:
"With Galaxy of Adventures, we wanted to craft something that allowed parents to help their kids take their first step into a much larger world whether they were ready to show their kids the films or wanted to find new ways to explore the content."
It does appear that this series revisits the events of the original movies in animated format. The trailer for 'Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures' features stalwarts like Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2-D2, C-3PO, Yoda, and Darth Vader, as well as the Wampa and other notable characters.
Check out the trailer below:
'Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures' will launch this Friday with six episodes, with additional installments arriving regularly through December.
This is being eyed as "the beginning of a year-long celebration of Star Wars storytelling," which will culminate with the release of 'Star Wars: Episode IX' on December 20, 2019, but will also include the release of Jon Favreau's 'The Mandalorian' on Disney's upcoming streaming service Disney+ which is expected to premier in the fall.
'Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures' launches Friday, November 30th .

Tuesday Poetry Question: Does James K. Baxter Still Influence New Zealand Poets?
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email that I wasn't sure how to answer. It came from an American called Scott Baxter, and he asked:
"I came across your blog while looking for information on Ithaca Island Bay Leaves … I am interested in New Zealand poetry and a big fan of James K Baxter; is he still widely read in NZ amongst younger poets?"
Scott went on to say:
"I first came across him as we shared the same last name and upon reading his poetry I became a huge fan. I like his use of classical/Christian and later Maori imagery. I wonder how he's read today; as a Catholic poet, an advocate for the Maori or something else entirely.
I see there is a symposium in November in Dunedin exploring the relationship between Robert Burns (another favorite poet of mine) and Baxter."
I think that Scott has asked some excellent questions there. Is James K. Baxter still widely read by New Zealand poets? If so, how is he read, and what if any influence do his poetry and his example still have?
What do you think? Has James K. Baxter influenced your poetry, or how you read poetry? Is he still an influence? How about other poets famous in the 1960s and 1970s?

TimA bit of self-promotion here. I devote a section of my new anthology 'These I Have Loved' to Baxter. He's a colussus in my poetry development. Your American correspondent may be interested. Come to the launch this Sunday at St Ninian's Hall, Karori 4 pm CheersHarvey
Piokiwi says:
I studied James K Baxter's Jerusalem Sonnets in 7th form and for a 17 year old schoolgirl in a posh single-sex school, it was a shock at first! Very different from his other poems studied in schools. His earthiness, complete lack of taboo regarding subject matter and playfulness with form have influenced me since.
Brighton Belle says:
This Greg O'Brien essay could be dated now, but could still be the key document http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/misc/obrien.asp
Helen Rickerby says:
How timely! I'm currently re-reading some of Baxter – prompted by a friend who is studying him in a 3rd year university paper. She was having trouble with him at first, trouble getting past the often dated and sometimes down-right offensive attitude to women in his work, which can be very alienating. But despite all that, I love him. Or his work. But they're quite inextricable. I also first became familiar with him at university (honours level esp), though I'd certainly read some before that. It's the later work that I really respond to – I've just been rereading Jerusalem Daybook and Autumn Testement. Those, plus Jerusalem Sonnets, are the ones I respond to most. The honesty. The earthiness. The lyricism. I've found, going back to him after so long, that things that annoyed me still annoy me – maybe even more than they did before – but that I have a greater respect for him than I did also. I respect what he was trying to do in his work and his life.My friend, I'll call her A, and I had a conversation about this at lunchtime. We think he's still read – at least by people who do NZ lit at university. But I'm really interested to know what others think about that.And as to his influence – that's an interesting question. He seems to have been, and be perhaps, such a giant, but a very singular one in many ways. It's probably hard to say who you're influence by, as opposed to which poets you like. I'm sure I must have been influence by him to some extent, but he isn't a model exactly. But, on rediscovering him, I hope I'll be able to follow his path of honesty – sometimes raw – and bravery. As to how he's read – I would think as a granddaddy of NZ poetry, rather than the religious or Maori aspect. That said, John Newton's recent book about the Jerusalem commune focused on it as a bicultural project – but that was the life rather than the work. Oh, I could rant for ages about this, and perhaps still not come to any conclusions. I'm really interested to hear other people's thoughts on this.Also, I hope your correspondent found out what he wanted about Ithaca. I would be happy to provide more information (and perhaps purchasing options) about this fine book…
AJ Ponder says:
It is hard to grow up in New Zealand and not be exposed to James K Baxter's poetry and writing. And it's not just his \"serious\" stuff.the kids \"Baxter Basics\" came out relatively recently and sold like hot cakes (out of print). What more influence do you need?
Tim Jones says:
Thanks, Harvey, Renee, Brighton Belle, Helen and AJ.Harvey, the anthology sounds great, and I hope I'll make it to the launch. Sorry you had trouble with the comments – I know at least one other person whose comment on this post disappeared, so I suspect Blogger was playing up earlier today.Renee, I remember reading Baxter at High School, but I can't remember whether these were set texts or books I borrowed from the high school library. It's impressive that his work made such an impact on you!Bathing Belle, yes, that is a great essay! Here's the link: http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/misc/obrien.aspHelen, I'm glad this post was so timely! I know that my early poetry was very influenced by Baxter; then I tired of it, and aligned myself to Allen Curnow's more distanced and cerebral approach. Where I am with now, I don't really know.AJ, we too have a book of Baxter's poems for children – our son had a phase of wanting poems from that book to be read to him at bedtime.
Harvey Molloy says:
Yes, I think Baxter does still influence our writing; especially Jerusalem Sonnets. As I've got older, I find his increasingly claustrophobic; I feel trapped, hemmed in, hectored, rather than liberated. Still, he was the first NZ poet that grabbed me and shook me into writing. And he worked very hard at his craft and produced some fine poems. I teach Tuwhare at school and I've thought about shifting to teaching Baxter (it's good to change). But I'm still not sure.
I've only recently become interested in reading poetry. I write prolifically, and since I started to write I have also needed to follow along with other voices behind words. Romanticism: I was totally carried away by his writing on a house wall just before he died – a true \"I must get these words down\" act. How often have you awoken in the middle of the night, been driving on the motorway – some place, any place where you must find a pen immediately. Jerusalem sonnets are very freeing – after writing constricting sonnets in old style, it was a wonderful experience to try sonnets like Baxter wrote. I have only recently started to read him, but he has his own voice to, as they say \"take what you like and leave the rest\". A poet who can stand the test of time says a lot to me – I want to read how things were yesterday, and I am truly amazed when words written yesterday will still be appreciated beyond tomorrow.

The First Editions - Royal Lochnagar 19y, 55.5%, 2000, 384b
A historic distillery situated on the edge of the Balmoral estate, producing whisky on a tiny scale despite being part of Diageo's large distillery portfolio. Much of its whisky is released as single malt, although it is also a key component of their high-end blended whiskies, such as Johnnie Walker Blue Label.
The distillery was awarded its Royal Warrant in 1848 when John Begg invited Prince Albert to visit the distillery from the nearby Balmoral Castle, the Queen's residence in the Highlands. The next day the distillery was visited by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their three eldest children. The distillery then became known as Royal Lochnagar.
This pale golden whisky has a fragrant nose of ginger, citrus and rhubarb. The palate is sweet with notes of pineapple in syrup, lemon marmalade and a delicate maltiness, all leading to a medium long finish with lingering sandalwood and spice.
Distilled in 2000 at Royal Lochnagar distillery, a Highlands distillery, one of few that has been granted the Royal Warrant. This is a 19 year old whisky that has matured in a refill hogshead barrel, bottled in 2019, at 55.5% abv.

Q: Android - Disclaimer popping up after every intent Just a bit about my app first. Its a quiz app. It has a main screen displaying a question, which loads straight away, and arrows going previous and next which go to other quiz questions. I'm using the same layout over and over, just by passing different question data, so when I click the "next" button, it will just launch an intent to the same class, just with different data. At the start of my one single layout, I have a little check to see if the user has clicked to hide the disclaimer or not.
So my disclaimer pops up at the start of the app. It has a dismiss button and a Dont show this again checkbox. I can get the checkbox working perfect, using SharedPreferences but the problem arises when they hit the Dismiss button. Since I'm reusing the same layout, any time the user navigates to a new question, the disclaimer pops up. I only want it to popup on the first screen, e.g. when the app loads.
I have tried setting another SharedPreference  to hide the disclaimer when the user hits dismiss but once I hide it, it never comes back, because when the user loads the app back up again, that shared preference is still set. My problem is knowing where to set the preference back! I tried resetting it in onPause() but that didn't work.
So, what I'm asking is, how can I determine if an activity is the first one to be loaded so I can only do the Disclaimer check then, and not in each of the subsequent screens?
Thanks.
EDIT: Here's my OnCreate() method:
final static String disclaimerShownPref = "disclaimerShown";
final static String disclaimerShownOnce = "disclaimerShownThisSession";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    mPrefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
    //Checks to see if the boolean is set
    //The second argument is the default to use if the preference can't be found
    if(!mPrefs.getBoolean(disclaimerShownPref, false))
    {
        if(!mPrefs.getBoolean(disclaimerShownOnce, true))
        {
            new Disclaimer(this);
        }
    }

    topMostLayout=buildHomeScreen();
    setContentView(topMostLayout);
}

A: In your case I would suggest using a static variable in your activity:
private static boolean sFirstTime = true;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    if( sFirstTime )
    {
        /*
         * Place the disclaimer check here
         */
        sFirstTime = false;
    }
    else
    {

    }

Having said that. I would consider a better approach to switch between questions in the same instance of your activity instead of creating a new one every time.
Good luck!

A: Instead of restarting the activity each time the user navigates between questions, you should just write a function that will repopulate the views with the new question data when previous or next are clicked. As for the disclaimer, if you want it to show up every time the app is started, then setting the variable using shared preferences is not the best way to go about it. The shared preferences are not deleted when the app closes, they are only deleted if you erase them manually or uninstall the application altogether. Instead create a variable in your activity that tracks whether or not "Dismiss" was clicked. As long as the app is running the dialog will not be displayed, but when the app is restarted all the variables including the one that keeps track of displaying the dialog will be reset and it will show up again.

A: Instead of using an Intent to launch a new version of your activity, why not just use an onClickListener to call setText() and change the display question? This might make the Activity lifecycle more intuitive and probably simplify your code.

You can see how Beck families moved over time by selecting different census years. The Beck family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1840 and 1920. The most Beck families were found in the USA in 1880. In 1911 there were 416 Beck families living in Ontario. This was about 33% of all the recorded Beck's in Canada. Ontario had the highest population of Beck families in 1911.
In 1881, Farmer, Servant and Labourer were the top 3 reported jobs worked by Beck. A less common occupation for the Beck family was Going To School. The most common Beck occupation in Canada was Farmer. 31% of Beck's were Farmers.
There are 642 immigration records available for the last name Beck. Passenger lists are your ticket to knowing when your ancestors arrived in Canada, and how they made the journey - from the ship name to ports of arrival and departure.


HOW CAN A MEDICAL REPRESENTATIVE START HIS OWN FRANCHISE ?
Being a medical representative has never been so fruitful to people like you. The people who work as a medical representative for others can now run their own business or PCD pharma franchise with the expertise they have in the field of pharma. This is advantageous to the medical representative as the investment is comparatively lower than the ones who employ medical representatives for their pharma company. When you can work for yourself then what is the need of going for a job in any other PCD Pharma Company.
Starting a Pharma Franchise in India for the medical representatives is not so much of a hectic task as they are already related to the pharmaceutical and medical field and they can get the support of the doctors and pharmacists very easily for their pharma company in India .
Pharma franchise in India and monopoly rights are the best ways that you can expand you business and marketing sector of your company. Starting the franchise of your own PCD pharma company in India will not be much of a difficult situation for the medical representatives as they have the similar experience in the related field.
There is a lot of confusion related to opening of a newly launched franchise unit that it may or may not grow rapidly, or the investment made in the franchise is having longer payback period, or the job as a medical representative will be at stake and you have to give your hundred percent time to the franchise unit. But this is not the case, the investment capital in any of the franchise unit can be less and you can also work in the franchise unit along with your job as the medical representative. But the efforts that are required for the growth of the franchise unit should be high and the quality of the products should be of higher quality and standardised to maintain the brand name of the company and to gain maximum net profit over the sale of those products.
Starting your own business in the marketing and franchise can be beneficial to you as you can earn more in this sector than working in a job as a medical representative for other company. Before beginning the journey as an entrepreneur you must be mentally and financially prepared until the franchise business takes a leap and start gaining profits.
You can choose amongst the best PCD pharma companies in India and can invest into them to obtain the franchise of these companies. After that you can establish the units of these companies wherever you want and can start the distribution of the products under the brand name of the company.
This is just the basic steps that you have to follow but the research is all up to you and how much you are willing to invest into it.

US FDA grants emergency use approval for Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine
Sat, 12 Dec, 2020 By Backend Office, Desk Reporter
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, which has shown 95 percent efficacy and the first inoculations is expected within days.
The US government had earlier stated that it will commence the distribution of the vaccine across the country soon after receiving the FDA approval and that the first inoculations would happen early next week.
According to the FDA's statement, the vaccine will be given to those aged 16 and older. The healthcare workers and elderly people in long-term care facilities will be given the priority to receive the first round of 2.9 million doses. If the country approves a second vaccine from Moderna, millions of Americans will start getting vaccinated this month itself.
Pfizer vaccine gains WHO's emergency use approval; Paves the way for…
Earlier this month Britain had approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and become the world's first to authorize the usage of a COVID-19 vaccine. Following this Canada, Mexico and Bahrain have also given a green signal for Pfizer's vaccine.
The FDA approval is coming at a time when infections, hospitalizations and deaths are increasing to the highest levels in the US. Earlier this week, the one-day COVID-19 death total recorded 3,000, while hospital intensive care units across the country were nearing capacity.
BioNTech began developing the vaccine in January, using a technology called synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA), which uses a chemical messenger to instruct cells to make proteins that mimic part of the new coronavirus, which the immune system learns to recognize as an invader. BioNTech got into a development agreement with Pfizer in March.
Challenges in the path
A severe challenge related to Pfizer's vaccine is its complex distribution requirements as it must be shipped and stored at -70 Celsius (-94 F), requiring specialized ultra-cold freezers or supplies of dry ice.
Although Pfizer has created a special shipping container that can be filled with dry ice to stop the vaccine from spoiling, many states are concerned if there would be enough dry ice for shipments to rural areas that do not have access to specialized freezers.
Other vaccine candidates that are in advanced development include Moderna, which could get an emergency authorization as soon as next week, AstraZeneca Plc with Oxford University and Johnson & Johnson (J&J).
The US quest for a vaccine has been the central response to the pandemic from a Trump administration that has mostly otherwise left states to fend for themselves. The authority has affirmed that it will have enough shots to supply all of the 330 million US residents who wish to be vaccinated by the middle of 2021.
American Physician & Immunologist
"If we do it efficiently enough by the second quarter of 2021 and by the end of summer or end of the third quarter, we may have enough herd immunity protecting our society. And as we get to the end of 2021, we could approach very much some degree of normality that is close to where we were before."
The government has already ordered 100 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine which is enough to inoculate 50 million people, through its Operation Warp Speed virus development program.
The US authority have also made deals to buy 200 million doses of Moderna's two-dose vaccine. The government had previously agreed to buy J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines but authorization of these shots has not came yet.
