Nnewi- Commercial Center for East Niger, Nigeria
Anthony-Claret Ifeanyi Onwutalobi May 12, 2009
Nnewi has a population of approximately 204,252 residents. (2007 estimate). The town is located east of the Niger River, and about 22 kilometers south east of Onitsha in Anambra State, Nigeria.
Nnewi was founded in the fourteenth century, and consists of four Quarters (large villages) and these four Quarters of Nnewi are Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim, and Nnewichi. This great town called Nnewi is renowned for producing great statesmen and leaders of commerce. The town is also one of the major trading and manufacturing centers of Nigeria. By 1940, Nnewi residents were at the center of an international trading network that dominated the supply of motor spare parts in Nigeria.The town subsequently became a center for commerce and industry, and has one of the largest automotive parts markets in Africa. Nnewi Township is an authentic "manufacturing miracle." Small and medium sized industries have set up in the town and are producing not only for the Nigeria markets but – albeit still to a limited extent – for markets abroad.
Industrialization of the town began around 1970 when Nnewi motor parts traders began marketing their own brand name products instead of the reproductions of "original" parts.
The great majority of industrialists in the cluster of spare parts factories in Nnewi are also traders, and most of these traders are producing one or more of the products they specialize in marketing as traders (usually motor vehicle parts), and most began by distributing their products through their preexisting distribution networks. Nnewi is part of eastern Nigeria's industrial axis. The town has through culturally grounded institutions that act as sophisticated networks expanded to include an international dimension through trading relations with exporters from Asia.
Over the last decade, the town of Nnewi has experienced relatively rapid industrialization. In excess of 20 medium to large scale industries have been established across a variety of sectors. Since 1970, Nnewi residents have controlled approximately 80 to 90 percent of the motor-parts trade in Nigeria. Nnewi (Nkwo) Market is the major import and wholesale point for motor spare parts in Nigeria. The industrialists of Nnewi are adapting foreign technology to local needs, providing employment to thousands, and making available goods and services which are relevant actual needs of the Nigerian citizens

Volunteers at Pwllheli RNLI have received their new D class lifeboat named after a former Coxswain.
The station's new D-Class has arrived on station and doesn't it look great!
The new D class 811 – Robert J Wright - arrived at the station last week, complete with new engine and all ancillary parts.
It was decided that the new D class would be named after our former Coxswain Robert J Wright, who unfortunately passed away at sea during a lifeboat service in 2015. Since then, the fundraising team have been working tirelessly to fundraise for the lifeboat.
It was originally decided that the station would fundraise the amount of £24,000. After three months, many fundraising events and a generous donation, the target was met. It was then decided that the station would like to go the whole way to fundraise for the complete D class.
With many more fundraising events – the target was met earlier on this year. This means that the D class lifeboat was funded by all the local donations at Pwllheli.
To say a big thank you to everyone that donated and made sure the station reached its target, on 30 July there will be a public "Meet the Boat" at Plas Heli in Pwllheli. Its open to anyone and everyone to come over to Plas Heli to come and have a look at our new boat. The D class will be there from noon until 3pm, so please pop down and say hello.
The new lifeboat has a top speed of 25 knots, can spend three hours at sea at this speed on search and rescue missions – a crucial factor when lives at risk.
Not only that, she can access areas inaccessible to our Mersey class all-weather lifeboat, such as close to cliffs, rocks and inside caves. As an inflatable inshore lifeboat, the D class is designed to operate close to shore in shallower water. She is ideal for rescues in fair to moderate conditions and particularly in big surf. With no wheelhouse on the D class lifeboat, the crew are exposed to the elements at all times and rely on their protective kit to keep them safe and warm.
Many rescues take place at night and can involve being close to dangerous cliffs and manmade structures, or searching caves and crevices. In addition to night vision equipment, the D class lifeboat carries a searchlight and parachute illuminating flares to light up the surrounding area, helping to keep crew members safe as well as locate those in need of help.
Medical equipment is stowed in the bow pod and includes oxygen and full resuscitation kit, responder bag and multi-purpose ambulance pouch. In the event of a capsize, the D class lifeboat can be righted manually by the crew and her 50hp outboard engine restarted.
With over 50 years' service, our D class lifeboat has helped the RNLI save thousands of lives at sea and continues to be the workhorse of the RNLI fleet today.
For further information, please contact Tomos Moore, Pwllheli RNLI Crew Member & Lifeboat Press Officer on 07552 446447, Adam Daniel, Pwllheli RNLI Crew Member & Lifeboat Press Officer on 07917808208 or Chris Cousens, RNLI Press Officer, Wales and West, on 07748 265496 or 01745 585162 or by email on chris_cousens@rnli.org.uk.

Computed tomographic and transcranial doppler sonographic findings in acute and subacute phases of middle cerebral artery strokes

Purpose. The aim of this study was to compare the sensitivities of visual and densitometric analyses of CT scans and transcranial Doppler sonograms (TCD) in detecting early changes in acute stroke. Methods. CT and TCD were each performed twice in 12 patients; first in the acute phase (within 28 hours of stroke onset), then in the subacute phase (mean ± standard deviation, 6 ± 3 days after onset) of a stroke. Hypodensity on the CT scans was evaluated visually, and the optical density of both the stroke region and the corresponding region on the unaffected side was measured. Measurement of flow parameters in the middle cerebral artery was carried out with TCD before or shortly (within 4 hours) after CT scanning. Results. In the acute phase, blood flow velocities were significantly lower on the affected side than they were on the unaffected side (means, 42 ± 13 and 55 ± 25 cm/second, respectively; p = 0.012). Marked asymmetry in flow velocity was found in 3 of the 4 patients who had normal CT scans in the acute phase. The asymmetry in flow velocity disappeared by the sixth day after the stroke. The resistance index did not correlate with the final infarct size. Conclusions. In some patients, the use of TCD in acute stroke may show alterations that reflect tissue damage that is undetectable on CT. Therefore, CT and TCD should be considered complementary diagnostic tools in the acute phase of stroke.

Motor vehicle accidents are one of the greatest risks that most people expose themselves to on a daily basis. Many people have their vehicle already covered, but nobody can ever truly be ready for the impact of a serious accident. American society, for the most part, centers around traveling in motor vehicles. The risks that we take every day in going to work, school or the grocery store are real and result in injuries and fatalities every day. It is imperative to contact an attorney following a car accident. Contact our Atlanta car accident lawyers.
Inability to work and consequent loss of wages.
How to pay for much needed health care if you do not have health insurance.
Can you pursue compensation if you are an undocumented immigrant?
What if I'm in an auto accident on the job?
OUR STAFF SPEAKS ENGLISH, SPANISH AND PORTUGUESE.
Being in a car accident is something that can rattle us to our core. It can unnerve us or make us weary of where we place our confidence.

Language should never be a barrier or a deterrent when it comes to seeking the compensation you deserve. Matthew Hines\ is here to serve as your premier car accident attorney.
For undocumented immigrants, your immigration status will not impact your ability to pursue the compensation you deserve after being injured in an accident.
A car accident can have a huge impact on your daily activities and significantly affect you overall quality of life, and an injury can also mean that you or someone else cannot work for an extended period of time. Many serious car accidents can result in permanent damage lasting the rest of someone's life is also a common result of many serious car accidents. Here at the Law Offices of Matthew C. Hines, we understand just how important proper medical care and treatment is and the quick and accurate diagnosis of symptoms. A written record that documents any injuries as a result of a car accident is essential, and we make sure that our clients have this important piece of documentation.
You may be entitled to compensation not just for pain and suffering, but for the cost of medical bills and the loss of wages from work, if you have been seriously injured in a car accident in the Atlanta Georgia area. Punitive damages may also be awarded, depending on the severity of the accident and how much the other driver was at fault for the accident. Anyone who has been hurt in a car accident has several possible avenues for recovering.

Behind The Collapse Of The Bachmann Campaign
Doug Mataconis · Tuesday, October 11, 2011 · 6 comments
NRO's Robert Costa is out with an interesting and detailed look at what's gone wrong with the Michele Bachmann campaign over the past two months. Most interesting is the rather obvious conflict between Bachmann's professional advisers, and her inner circle:
By that August afternoon, when Bachmann finally beat Paul in Ames (albeit by a slim margin), it was supposed to be, as she said, the start of something big. Yet as the crowds rallied at ISU, internally, the campaign was in disarray, with nonstop infighting. Bachmann's message, her policy positions, early-state plans, media strategy — everything became a quarrel. The senior-staff rift over Ames, which started as a fracture, widened into a gulf, with Polyansky and his on-the-ground political team operating separately from Bachmann's on-the-bus sphere.
Rollins, still the campaign manager, was torn: He was reluctant to fire senior staff and upset Bachmann, but knew the campaign was collapsing. By late August, the campaign staff was far from a cohesive unit, multiple sources say. Publicly, Bachmann was coasting, a rising candidate, but inside, it was a disaster — a nonstop battle between the "bus crew" and her paid consultants. Rollins grew increasingly exasperated with Bachmann's decisions; the others told the congresswoman not to sweat the former Reagan strategist's off-site demands.
That group on the bus — advance man Keith Nahigian; press secretary Alice Stewart; her policy guru, Brett O'Donnell, the former debate coach at Liberty University; and other staffers — began to hold greater sway over every detail, from debate prep to messaging. Even on the media front, where Rollins had built valuable relationships, he was overruled. "What people don't understand is that this was festering all summer," says one source. "Rollins's break began before Ames. The group never clicked; disagreements were constant."
Rollins, for example, wanted Bachmann to sit down with 60 Minutes and a variety of mainstream media commentators and programs. Her Ames win, he told her, was an opportunity to expand beyond her conservative comfort zones, a chance to make her case beyond the usual GOP media circuit. She resisted, according to sources familiar with the situation. Her response was that conservatives watched On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren and Hannity, so that was where she should be, giving talk-radio interviews in between Fox News hits.
Internal fights, one Bachmann source says, are one thing, but when the candidate didn't get the Ames bump she expected, anxiety set in — and she let it show. She was "spooked,' he says, by Gov. Rick Perry's mid-August entry into the race. "She did lose her confidence for a few weeks," he says. "She spent a lot of time thinking about Perry's role in the race, where he fit, and how she should react. I don't think she ever thought he'd rise so quickly. That surprised all of us."
Indeed, a day after winning the straw poll, both Bachmann and the Texas governor appeared in Waterloo, speaking to Black Hawk County Republicans at the Electric Park Ballroom, a dusty dance hall. To Rollins's chagrin, she would not get off of her bus at the event until Perry was finished speaking. Rollins wanted her to go in, embrace Perry, and — with a grin — welcome him, while reminding him that he was late to the party. Bachmann wanted none of it. Instead, she stayed on her bus as Perry ate dinner with local Republicans and gave an upbeat speech.
Only after the lights were adjusted and the music was blaring did she enter the venue. Reporters ate up the drama, wondering aloud on the morning talk shows and in columns whether Bachmann had overplayed her hometown hand. Bachmann's associates, for the most part, admit that this was a misplayed moment. Other Bachmann advisers who still work for the campaign contest this version of events. "It was a media-created story, nothing more," says one.
And yet it set the tone for the next several weeks. Even potentially sympathetic bloggers like Ed Morrissey were baffled by the Waterloo incident:
In contrast, Bachmann's reception seemed less enthusiastic. The lighting had to be changed before Bachmann spoke, apparently at the campaign's insistence, which delayed her entrance and interfered with the timing of her entrance announcement. But more puzzlingly, Bachmann didn't arrive to mix with the crowd before the event started, waiting until she was scheduled to speak to enter the Electric Ballroom. Perry arrived early and greeted every table, the kind of retail politics that Iowa usually rewards — and that Iowans expect. Whether the attendees were off-put by the snub or not, Bachmann received less enthusiastic response than Perry did for his speech. I should note that Bachmann actually gave a better delivery of what was essentially the same speech she did in Ames, with much better use of dynamics and projection that fit the more intimate environment.
Coming as that does in her home town, it poses the question whether Perry will steal her thunder here in Iowa as well as other states in which she will not have the natural advantages she does here. For one evening, Bachmann came in second.
That's exactly what happened, of course. Perhaps it was inevitable, certainly once Rick Perry entered the race, that the appeal of Michele Bachmann as the "not Romney" diminished significantly. Then, when she shot herself in the foot during last month's debates, any hope that she'd be able to revive her campaign was pretty much dead.

"Most interesting is the rather obvious conflict between Palin's professional advisers, and her inner circle"
Paging Dr. Freud.
Jay Tea says:
The time recently Doug called "courtiers" "courtesans" was funnier, but this one is seriously Freudian. Makes all the times I mixed up Iran and Iraq look like NOTHING.
legion says:
So, she's a pampered diva who demands everything on her own terms or not at all? I'm shocked. I'm also having trouble distinguishing her from any of the other second-tier primary candidates who are floundering back in the pack & seem to exhibit the same characteristics. Perhaps diva-ness and egomania are not actually substitutes for strength of character after all…
@Jay Tea: In Doug's defense, Palin & Bachmann are rapidly becoming interchangeable in the public persona department. I still don't think Bachmann's as flat-out stupid as Palin, but definitely crazier…
Yes guys, you got me on that one.
@Doug Mataconis: Now if you'll just go back to your "Death Panels" piece and fix "courtesans…"

Liberal Democrat travails over the bedroom tax
By admin on July 18, 2014 • ( 1 Comment )
Well, well, well. It turns out that the bedroom tax isn't such a good idea after all.
Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander have U-turned on the policy, ostensibly in the light of the (delayed) publication of interim report of the DWP evaluation. The report indicates that the policy largely isn't achieving the objectives set for it.
Early tabloid headlines announcing that the Liberal Democrats were calling for abolition were misleading. Instead, what Clegg and Alexander would appear to have done is withdraw support for the policy in its current form and adopt a position broadly in line with the motion critical of the bedroom tax passed by Liberal Democrat conference last autumn in Glasgow. To be fair to NC he did state at the time of the Glasgow conference that the independent evaluation would be important in shaping support for the policy. And so, it would appear, it has proved to be.
The appropriate response to this may be a quick hurray, the observation that it is better late than never, and then a second hurray for the Liberal Democrats' commitment to evidence-based policy. Certainly, it is always welcome when the party leadership decides to align itself with the views of the membership.
However, the position the Clegg and Alexander have ended up adopting is not without problems, both political and practical. To some extent, the political problems are a function of Clegg's "hug them close then differentiate" strategy. The Huffington Post helpfully ran a post yesterday on eight times Clegg publicly endorsed not only the bedroom tax policy but also the logic – and I use the term loosely – that underpins it, before he suddenly decided it was a bad idea.
Some of the problems are easy to predict. Labour will no doubt, at the first available opportunity, bring forward another motion to abolish the bedroom tax, just as they did at the back end of last year. This will be designed primarily to make the Liberal Democrats squirm. The Liberal Democrats will have to decide whether they side with Labour to abolish a policy they have publicly stated they no longer support or side with the Conservatives in a bid to keep the Coalition limping on to the General Election. Either way they won't come out of it smelling of roses.
At a practical level, the policy the Liberal Democrats are proposing – including the idea of exempting households with a disabled member and households who do not have a realistic opportunity to trade down – would be quite hard to implement. Plenty of energy has been expended in the social housing sector trying to determine whether an offer of accommodation to a statutory homeless household constitutes a reasonable offer. Who will determine whether an under-occupying household has got a realistic opportunity to trade down? That's going to be a vale of tears.
Equally importantly, these two groups account for the bulk of those affected by the bedroom tax so this change of policy would leave very few people facing a housing benefit reduction. In fact, it could be argued that if you want to exempt those groups then you might as well abolish the policy entirely. Or you could genuinely harmonise it with the private rented sector so that it applies to new tenancies only, in which case you would most likely observe very few social tenants actually being subject to housing benefit reductions as a result of under-occupation.
One would like to think that the Liberal Democrat leadership appreciate this. It may be that it is purely a political calculation: securing wide-ranging exemptions is judged less politically damaging than coming out for full abolition, even though the net result will be very similar. If that is the case, then I can sort of see the logic, but I'm not sure I agree with it. It feels like a case of choosing the slightly milder but longer term reputational damage, allowing Labour to exploit the vacillation, rather than the short sharp pain of accepting the need for abolition.
Finally, the arguments that this is about evidence-based policy making feel a bit disingenuous. While the DWP study is no doubt a good piece of work, there is almost nothing in it that hasn't been identified in previous studies conducted by a range of bodies. Indeed, most of the effects we are observing were predicted by housing experts well in advance of the policy being implemented. If those views had been taken more seriously at the outset then perhaps the policy would never have got off the ground. Instead, hundreds of thousands of people have had their lives made considerably more difficult – in predictable ways – before our political leaders accepted what was largely self-evident to those who actually understand the institutions and processes of the housing system and their interaction with the welfare system.
James captures the situation rather neatly in his tale of Mick Clogg.

14 things that you never knew about SPAM!
14 things you never knew about SPAM!
1. There are 15 different varieties available around the world, including Teriyaki, Jalapeno and Oven Roasted Turkey, and it's sold in 44 countries.
2. SPAM, when referring to the food, should be spelt with all capital letters (according to the official trademark guidelines).
3. It's amazingly popular in Hawaii, where residents have the highest per head consumption in the US. That's why SPAM is sometimes nicknamed The Hawaiian Steak.
4. Away from the US, South Koreans consume more of it than any other country. They got a taste for it during World War II and the Korean War, when meat was scarce.
5. The first can was produced in 1937, but there's still debate on what exactly the name stands for. Some people say it's an abbreviation of 'spiced ham', 'spare meat' or 'shoulders of pork and ham'. Others that it's an acronym for 'specially processed American meat' or 'specially processed Army meat'.
6. If you visit the SPAM Museum in Austin, Minnesota, you can find out all you would ever want to know about the stuff. In the museum shop, you can even buy a SPAM can costume to impress your friends back home, but it'll set you back a meaty $89 (around £65!).
7. When Seattle held a SPAM-carving contest in 1990, SPAM-henge, a replica of Stonehenge, won the prize.
9. SPAM is made from chopped pork shoulder meat with ham, salt, water, sugar, potato starch and sodium nitrite.
10. Margaret Thatcher referred to SPAM as a 'wartime delicacy'. On Boxing Day 1943, her family had friends round and served SPAM and salad.
11. SPAM Cam is a webcam trained on a can of decaying spam.
12. In the famous Monty Python Spam sketch from 1970, the actors say the word SPAM at least 132 times. SPAM makers Hormel were supportive of the sketch, but have never been happy with the use of the word for junk e-mail, which also came from the sketch.
13. You can turn it into cupcakes. Some people make them with a spiced cream-cheese icing and candied SPAM topping. If you find that idea tempting, click here for the recipe.
14. If someone lives in 'SPAM Valley' it traditionally refers to a poor neighbourhood where people can't afford to eat anything else. More recently, it can also mean an area where the houses are so expensive the inhabitants can't afford to buy any other food than…you know what!

"Bed bug populations are increasing around the world at an alarming rate and have become a major public health concern. The appearance of bed bug populations in areas where Chagas disease is endemic raises questions about the role of these insects in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of the disease. In a series of laboratory evaluations, bed bug adults and nymphs were experimentally fed with T. cruzi-infected blood to assess the ability of T. cruzi to survive inside the bed bug and throughout the insect's molting process. Live T. cruzi were observed in gut contents of experimentally infected bed bug adults via light microscopy and the identity of the parasite was confirmed via polymerase chain reaction analysis. T. cruzi persisted at least 97-d postinfection in adult bed bugs. Nymphal stage bed bugs that were infected with T. cruzi maintained the parasite after molting, indicating that transstadial passage of T. cruzi in bed bugs took place. This report provides further evidence of acquisition, maintenance, and for the first time, transstadial persistence of T. cruzi in bed bugs."

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. 98(3): 724-734. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.17-0593
"Although not presently implicated as a vector of human pathogens, the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, has been suspected of carrying human pathogens because of its close association with humans and its obligate hematophagy. Recently, we characterized the vectorial competence of C. lectularius for the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. We observed that C. lectularius can acquire T. cruzi infection when fed on T. cruzi–carrying mice, and subsequently transmit T. cruzi to uninfected mice. This led us to ask why has C. lectularius not been implicated in the transmission of T. cruzi outside of the laboratory? We hypothesized that T. cruzi reduces C. lectularius fitness (i.e., survival and/or reproduction) as an explanation for why C. lectularius does not to transmit T. cruzi in natural settings. We tested this hypothesis by comparing the survival and reproduction of uninfected and T. cruzi–infected C. lectularius. We observed that T. cruzi had a variable effect on C. lectularius survival and reproduction. There were negligible differences between treatments in juveniles. Infected adult females tended to live longer and produce more eggs. However, no effect was consistent, and infected bugs showed more variation in survival and reproduction metrics than control bugs. We did not observe any negative effects of T. cruzi infection on C. lectularius survival or reproduction, suggesting that decreased fitness in T. cruzi–infected C. lectularius is not why bed bugs have not been observed to transmit T. cruzi in natural settings."
Houldsworth, A. 2016. Exploring the possibility of arthropod transmission of HCV. Journal of Medical Virology. 89(2): 187-194. doi: 10.1002/jmv.24638
"Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer occurring in up to 3% of the world's population. Parenteral exposure to HCV is the major mode of transmission of infection. Once established, infection will persist in up to 85% of individuals with only a minority of patients clearing viremia. Egypt has possibly the highest HCV prevalence in the world where 10–20% of the general population are infected with HCV. Endemic HCV appears to be concentrated in the tropics and sub-tropics where there are higher biting rates from insects. The question as to whether a bridge vector transmission is possible, via arthropods, both between humans and/or from an animal reservoir to humans is explored. Mechanical transmission, as opposed to biological transmission, is considered. Mechanical transmission can be an efficient way of transmitting an infection, as effective as biological transmission. Probability of transmission can increase as to the immediate circumstances and conditions at the time. Several factors may enhance mechanical transmission, including high levels of microbes in the vector, frequent biting, the close proximity, and contact between vectors and recipients as well as high density of insects. HCV has been isolated from bodies or heads of mosquitoes collected from the houses of HCV-infected individuals. The possibility of enzootic cycles of HCV tangential transmission via bridging vectors, such as, arthropods needs to be further investigated and possible animal reservoirs, including domestic rural epizootic cycles for HCV infection, requires further research with particular initial emphasis on equine infections."

"The global population of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus, family Cimicidae) has undergone a significant resurgence since the late 1990s. This is likely due to an increase in global travel, trade, and the number of insecticide-resistant bed bugs. The global bed bug population is estimated to be increasing by 100–500 % annually. The worldwide spread of bed bugs is concerning, because they are a significant socioeconomic burden and a major concern to public health. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, bed bugs are "a pest of significant health importance." Additionally, 68 % of U.S. pest professionals reported that bed bugs are the most challenging pest to treat. Upwards of 45 disease pathogens have been reported in bed bugs. Recent studies report that bed bugs may be competent vectors for pathogens, such as Bartonella quintana and Trypanosoma cruzi. However, public health reports have thus far failed to produce evidence that major infectious disease outbreaks have been associated with bed bugs. Since many disease pathogens have previously been reported in bed bugs and the worldwide bed bug population is now drastically increasing, it stands to reason to wonder if bed bugs might transmit human pathogens. This review includes a literature search on recently published clinical and laboratory studies (1990–2016) investigating bed bugs as potential vectors of infectious disease, and reports the significant findings and limitations of the reviewed studies. To date, no published study has demonstrated a causal relationship between bed bugs and infectious disease transmission in humans. Also, we present and propose to expand on previous hypotheses as to why bed bugs do not transmit human pathogens. Bed bugs may contain "neutralizing factors" that attenuate pathogen virulence and, thereby, decrease the ability of bed bugs to transmit infectious disease."

"Bartonella quintana, the etiologic agent of trench fever and other human diseases, is transmitted by the feces of body lice. Recently, this bacterium has been detected in other arthropod families such as bed bugs, which begs the question of their involvement in B. quintana transmission. Although several infectious pathogens have been reported and are suggested to be transmitted by bed bugs, the evidence regarding their competence as vectors is unclear."

Researchers investigated the potential for bed bugs to transmit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to humans. Results indicated that the bed bug midgut was capable of maintaining the bacteria for up to 9 days, but the bacteria did not replicate within that environment. They concluded that bed bugs are unlikely to transmit MRSA to humans.
Saenz, V. L., R. G. Maggi, E. B. Breitschwerdt, J. Kim, E. L. Vargo, and C. Schal. 2013. Survey of Bartonella spp. in U.S. bed bugs detects Burkholderia multivorans but not Bartonella. PLoS One. 8: e73661. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0073661
"Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) have resurged in the United States and globally. Bed bugs are hematophagous ectoparasites of humans and other animals, including domestic pets, chickens, and bats, and their blood feeding habits contribute to their potential as disease vectors. Several species of Bartonella are re-emergent bacterial pathogens that also affect humans, domestic pets, bats and a number of other wildlife species. Because reports of both bed bugs and Bartonella have been increasing in the U.S., and because their host ranges can overlap, we investigated whether the resurgences of these medically important pathogens and their potential vector might be linked, by screening for Bartonella spp. in bed bugs collected from geographic areas where these pathogens are prevalent and from bed bugs that have been in culture in the laboratory for several years. We screened a total of 331 bed bugs: 316 bed bugs from 36 unique collections in 29 geographic locations in 13 states, 10 bed bugs from two colonies maintained in the laboratory for 3 yr, and 5 bed bugs from a colony that has been in culture since before the recent resurgence of bed bugs. Bartonella spp. DNA was screened using a polymerase chain reaction assay targeting the 16S–23S rRNA intergenic transcribed spacer region. Bartonella DNA was not amplified from any bed bug, but five bed bugs from four different apartments of an elderly housing building in North Carolina contained DNA sequences that corresponded to Burkholderia multivorans, an important pathogen in nosocomial infections that was not previously linked to an arthropod vector."

"Although a variety of disease agents have been reported from bed bugs, the mechanical and biological disease transmission potential of bed bugs remains unelucidated. In this study we assayed survivability of the mildly pathogenic spotted fever group rickettsia, Rickettsia parkeri, in bed bugs after feeding on R. parkeri-infected chicken blood. Two groups of 15 adult bed bugs each were fed on infected or noninfected blood, and two groups of fourth-instar bed bugs also were fed on either infected or noninfected blood. One group of 15 adult bed bugs received no bloodmeal and was included as an additional control. Two weeks postfeeding, two pools of five live bed bugs from each group were surface sterilized, macerated, and placed in Vero cell cultures in an attempt to grow live organism. The remaining five individual bed bugs from each group were dissected, their salivary glands were removed for immunofluorescence assay (IFA) staining, and the remaining body parts were processed for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Results indicated that no immature (now molted to fifth instar) bed bugs were positive for R. parkeri by IFA or PCR, indicating that organisms did not survive the molting process. After 4 wk of cell culture, no organisms were seen in cultures from any of the treatment or control groups, nor were any cultures PCR positive. However, two of the adult bed bugs were IFA positive for rickettsia-like organisms, and these two specimens were also PCR positive using R. parkeri-specific primers. These IFA and PCR results indicate that remnants of Rickettsia parkeri (possibly whole organisms) survived in the bugs for 2 wk, but the viability of the organisms in these two specimens could not be determined."

"Bedbugs are brown and flat hematophagous insects. The 2 cosmopolite species, Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus, feed on humans and/or domestic animals, and recent outbreaks have been reported in occidental countries. Site assessment for bedbug eradication is complex but can be assured, despite emerging insecticide resistance, by hiring a pest-control manager. The common dermatological presentation of bites is an itchy maculopapular wheal. Urticarial reactions and anaphylaxis can also occur. Bedbugs are suspected of transmitting infectious agents, but no report has yet demonstrated that they are infectious disease vectors. We describe 45 candidate pathogens potentially transmitted by bedbugs, according to their vectorial capacity, in the wild, and vectorial competence, in the laboratory. Because of increasing demands for information about effective control tactics and public health risks of bedbugs, continued research is needed to identify new pathogens in wild Cimex species (spp) and insecticide resistance."

Letter to the editor describing how methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) were isolated from bedbugs that were found on patients. The prevalence of bedbugs and infections with these two bacteria in humans in Vancouver, British Columbia are discussed. The authors conclude that "bedbugs carrying MRSA and/or VRE may have the potential to act as vectors for transmission."

Molecular techniques were used to identify bacteria from bed bugs collected from bunks on six French warships. Bed bug samples stored in ethanol were subjected to PCR. Wolbachia spp., a common endosymbiont, and Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii, recently identified in ticks, were isolated and identified.

Tropical bed bugs, Cimex hemipterus, collected from village huts in Senegal, West Africa, were sampled for the presence of hepatitis-B surface antigens. Their data represented the highest field infection-rates of hepatitis B virus reported in any insect species. They concluded that bed bugs need to be considered as a potential vector of hepatitis B virus.

The Russian name "Ivan Chai" was supposedly coined by foreigners following its export to England and other European countries: "Ivan" is a traditional Russian name, while "Chai" means tea, a word of Indian origin. There was a time when Ivan Chai was the second-most exported Russian item, ahead of even linen and fur! It had three names at the time—Ivan Chai, Russian Chai and Kaporie Chai, namedafter the place where it was produced in huge quantities. Toward the end of the 19th century it began losing ground to the Indian and Chinese teas of the East India Company. After the October Revolution of 1917 in Russia, the commercial production of Ivan Chai ceased. Today, the preparation of Ivan Chai has regained some of its popularity, and has attracted the attention of many producers.

07.12.17- ISMO KAJANDER: THE WEDDING MARCH
On December 7th at ARTag Gallery Studio we will be opening an exhibition about the violent beginnings of Finland´s independence.
Ismo Kajanderi´s work, The Wedding March, is composed of his mother´s old watercolour painting, a text that is the artist´s personal manifesto, and an ensemble of sculptures.
Ismo Kajander (b. 1939) is an artist, a photographer, a writer and a teacher, whose career has lasted for over seven decades. There was a large retrospective on him in Kiasma in 2015.
Making art has meant to me almost sixty years of constant celebration. Sometimes I have persuaded my art to deal even with sociological themes. Therefore, no wonder if the centenary brought to life an artwork, a Finland 100 celebratory piece, that certainly doesn't form part of the official program. An artwork that was inspired by a young girls´s, my mother´s, memory right from the first moments of our independence, says Kajander.
His mother's childhood home was at Marjasmäki of Lempäälä's Kuivaspää, where in the spring of 1918 his mother had to witness an event where the villagers brought out a few "desants" that had been kept in the neighbour's barn, and executed them. Later, in the 1980's, his mother painted about this incident a watercolour painting, that will now be seen as part of this exhibition.
Exhibition open at ARTag Gallery Studio from the 7th till the 17th of December.
23.11.17 – LIISA STEFFA: JEWELRY
Liisa Steffa´s unique pieces of jewellery combine her passion as a designer, and her knowledge of cultural history. The themes and materials of her jewellery are found from her travels around the world: from markets, antique stores and flea markets. She uses both raw as well as more elaborate natural materials and miniature objects made of them. The aesthetic combinations are fascinating and the pieces of jewellery can be worn like pieces of art.
Liisa Steffa has studied history, art history and archeology in the University of Helsinki, and art in the Academy of Fine Arts. She moved to the United States in 1968 and focused there in textile art. When she returned to Finland in 1971 her patchwork exposition in the Helsinki Design Center was first of its kind here.

In this ARTag Gallery exhibitions we will be seeing Kauppila´s drawings from the Body-Mind series. The artworks have bee made by drawing with marker pens on stone paper. They are based on a line that respects the form of the human body. In these ethereal drawings the different coloured lines form transparent surfaces that by overlapping and interlocking map the human being in a way that resembles the old medical body maps. However, Kauppila´s line is light and playful.

Rob Corddry breaks sad news in happiest way on theCHIVE Podcast
Featuring: Rob Corddry
30 minutes before we were set to interview actor/comedian, Rob Corddry, John & I got word from his publicist that he had chosen to end his hit Adult Swim show, "Children's Hospital," after the 7th season wrapped! NOOOOOOOO! For a show that I've been watching and laughing at since before I ever posted a single gallery on theCHIVE, the news hit hard. But in a manner only Rob could pull off, he explained his reasons for ending it and proceeded to make us double over with laughter for the next hour plus.
Rob regaled amusing stories about working on set with one of the funniest casts ever assembled. Additionally, he talked candidly about his time as a correspondent for The Daily Show, from what Jon Stewart is like when the camera stops rolling, to the one thing he hated doing more than anything every week on the show. From his wild college days, to his training in the Upright Citizens Brigade with the likes of Amy Poehler, to evolving into a "responsible" father of two girls, Rob delighted with anecdotes that will make you smile.
Make sure to catch Rob Corddry, and the incredible cast of characters on the final season of Children's Hospital, Friday nights at 11 PM ET on Adult Swim.
And as always, make sure to keep sending all your questions, personal or otherwise, to be read and answered on the show at podcastquestions@thechive.com

What started as the dream of two Swiss visionaries, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, has become a revolutionary discovery much like when the Wright brothers flew for the first time. Bertrand and Andre have achieved the unimaginable - a solar-powered airplane that can fly non-stop, day and night, and is powered by the best solar technology on the market, SunPower solar cells. The very technology that powers many Coachella Valley homes is now powering the Solar Impulse 2. With a wingspan of 72 meters that is equipped with 17,000 SunPower solar cells, it weighs about 2,300kg (the weight of an average size car). It operates without any fuel except sunlight, and has absolutely no emissions.
Borschberg is the co-founder/pilot and refers to the Solar Impulse as "a flying laboratory for clean technologies". Borschberg and Piccard, along with 80+ members of the Solar Impulse Team, say they want to inspire the same spirit of imagination, innovation, and exploration in others. They hope that their journey around the world will help spread the word about clean energy solutions and the boundless potential of solar. Join them on their adventure and watch the once-in-a-lifetime event unfold by going to .


You all remember the George A. Romero-helmed, Stephen King-penned horror anthology film Creepshow, right? The one with all the cockroaches and where Leslie Nielsen plays a stone-cold killer who murders Ted Danson? (For real.) Well, guess what? It's getting made into a TV series.
That's right. Shudder, the streaming service that specializes in thriller and horror genres, has given the thumbs up to a Creepshow TV show inspired by the 1982 film, Entertainment Weekly has revealed. The original film featured five original stories inspired by the horror comics of the 1950s (such as EC Comics' Tales From the Crypt and The Vault of Horror). Like the film, each episode of the new Creepshow series will tell original stories and be directed by a different filmmaker.
Makeup effects specialist and The Walking Dead executive producer Greg Nicotero is on board to direct the first episode and executive-produce the series. Nicotero was mentored by makeup effects legend Tom Savini, the man behind the makeup effects for Romero's Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and of course, the original Creepshow.
Nicotero's company KNB EFX Group will handle the creature and makeup effects. The Cartel will produce the show with Monster Agency Productions, Taurus Entertainment, and Striker Entertainment.
The new Creepshow series will debut on Shudder in 2019.

De Hmar People's Convention (HPC) werd opgericht als politieke partij in Noordoost-Mizoram in 1986 met de doelstelling om de rechten van het Hmar-volk te bevorderen. In 1987 veranderde de HPC van koers en nam de wapens op te tegen India. Eerst streefden zij voor meer autonomie, maar sinds 1991 streefden zij naar onafhankelijkheid. Zij zelf spreken van een Greater Mizoram, het hele gebied waar het Hmar-volk woont. De HPC staat onder leiding van Lalrupui.

HomeHealthy GuideBest 5 Anti-inflammatory sauces that you'll want to slather all over your food
Best 5 Anti-inflammatory sauces that you'll want to slather all over your food
Prosper Online Entrepreneurs August 13, 2021
2. Let's see below the top best 5 anti-inflammatory sauces
2.1. Anti-inflammatory salad dressing
2.2. Zhug
2.3. Pesto
2.4. Romesco Sauce
2.5. Fermented Garlic Honey
It's a truth universally acknowledged in wellness circles that chronic inflammation is responsible for almost all that ails us. It can be triggered by illness, certain foods, polluted air, and environmental toxins—making it seem all but impossible to avoid in modern life. The remedy (or at least one of them) is to consume as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible (drinks, too!). Basically, anywhere you can tuck a few anti-inflammatory ingredients into a meal, you should.
An easy way to punch up the inflammation-fighting powers of your meals? Cover them in anti-inflammatory sauces. They're an easy way to add benefits to any and everything you eat—including a concentrated serving of herbs and vegetables—all while enriching the flavor profile of whatever it is you're noshing on.
Fortunately for those with easily bored palates, there are hundreds to thousands of anti-inflammatory ingredients on this earth. Some of the most flavorful happen to be not only the most beneficial but also the easiest to source from your own pantry shelves, too. Below, find five anti-inflammatory sauces that rely upon accessible (and tasty!) ingredients to work their healing magic.
Let's see below the top best 5 anti-inflammatory sauces
#1 Anti-inflammatory salad dressing
This dressing from former White House chef Sam Kass is simple but powerful. It contains just five ingredients you're likely to have on hand: turmeric, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard. While turmeric and garlic are sorts of the obvious anti-inflammatory superstars of this sauce, the other three ingredients are no slouch in that department, either. Olive oil is rich in phenolic compounds that regulate inflammation, as is lemon juice. It also doesn't hurt that this multitasking dressing is incredibly flavorful and easy to toss together at a moment's notice.

#2 Zhug
Zhug is also known as Yemenite green hot sauce. (It hails from Yemen, obvi). Essentially, every single one of its ingredients is anti-inflammatory. It's got the usual suspects—e.g. garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley—along with a few ingredients not otherwise seen on this list, including capsaicin-rich Serrano chiles, anti-inflammatory cardamom pods, and more. It's great over grilled proteins, on a sandwich as a spread, or in dip form for veggies.
#3 Pesto
Classic pesto is made with fresh basil, pine nuts, and olive oil, which makes it healthy and healing AF. Basil has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects, while pine nuts are one of many antioxidant-rich, and therefore anti-inflammatory, tree nuts.
You don't have to stick to this mainstream pesto script, though. Instead, you can experiment with various leafy greens (e.g. spinach) in place of, or in addition to, basil, and try out any number of nuts in the sauce's pine nut role, too. Neither experiment will cause you to lose the healthful benefits of this sauce, and you can also add anti-inflammatory herbs (e.g. rosemary) into the mix to enhance the therapeutic benefits even more.
And pesto is versatile in its use, too. You can toss it onto pasta, of course, but it also pairs well with salads, eggs, pizzas, raw veggies, and more.
#4 Romesco Sauce
Romesco sauce is the should-be-in-your-fridge-at-all-times Spanish condiment you may not have known your life was missing (but which will forever change it). It's made with antioxidant-rich bell peppers, garlic, olive oil, parsley, and more. It's perfect for drenching veggies and can be used as a protein dressing, sandwich spread, or pasta sauce, too. The flavor is nutty, sweet, spicy, and sour—just like life.
#5 Fermented Garlic Honey
This super simple sauce is a favorite of Richard Rea, executive chef at the vegetarian restaurant The Butcher's Daughter. It's comprised of just fermented garlic and honey, but those two basic ingredients pack a powerful anti-inflammatory punch. The former is basically garlic on steroids, in that fermentation has been shown to enhance the antioxidant powers of the plant. The latter, meanwhile, is also an antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory superstar. Rea likes to add this sauce to veggies for a sweetening effect.

Couplers sold as Scratch & Dent are due to the overall tight fit of the coupler itself. Our couplers use a series of teeth on both sides of the coupler to hold the coupler tight to the magazine body and during pre-production runs we may get units back from the molder that are just to tight to fit to the magazine body without modifications. Couplers sold as Scratch & dent will need to be modified by filing down the teeth of the coupler. They can and will fit with modification.

The City of Norfolk purchased the building and surrounding property for $1.5 million.
After 35 years as one of Norfolk's most popular LGBTQ gathering spots, the Hershee Bar will close at its current location on October 31.
Owner Annette Stone received word in March from the property's owners, Five Points, LLC, that the building and surrounding property had been sold to the City of Norfolk.
At the February 2018 meeting, Norfolk City Council approved the $1.5 million purchase of the property at 6107 Sewell's Point Rd. The purchase offer conveys 17 parcels and four structures to the City, including the Hershee Bar and the former home of the New Life Metropolitan Community Church.
The offer requires Five Points, LLC, to terminate all existing leases, address any environmental hazards, and demolish all existing buildings prior to closing. The closing date must occur within 10 months of the date of the offer.
The purchase is part of a broader plan by the City to revitalize the Five Points district. OutWire757 reached out to Norfolk City Councilwoman Mamie Johnson from Ward 3 for comment on this process. She has not responded as of this writing.
An early ad for the Hershee Bar, courtesy of Our Own Community Press.
In December 1983, Our Own Community Press reported that Deborah Lass, the first openly gay person to run for Norfolk City Council, made a campaign appearance at the Hershee Bar. She addressed how alcoholic beverage control laws are used to target gay people.
After that incident, Tyndall and Stone installed a flashing yellow light inside to warn patrons when police or vice had been spotted outside.
The Hershee Bar developed into a community gathering spot for all members of the LGBTQ community, providing a safe space and, in some cases, relief to those of the community in need of food and financial support.
Last month, the Hershee Bar celebrated its 35th anniversary with a packed house, cake, food, and music by The Deloreans.
The Hershee Bar will remain open until Stone is required to vacate on October 31. According to Stone, she is in contact with the Norfolk Economic Development Commission and Five Points, LLC, to help scout possible new locations.
The June issue of OutLife757 Magazine will feature an in-depth interview with Annette Stone in which she recounts lifetime as a pioneer and leader in the Hampton Roads LGBTQ community.

Zajeltsovskaja (Russisch: Заельцовская) is een station van de metro van Novosibirsk. Het station werd geopend op 2 april 1992 en is het noordelijke eindpunt van de Leninskaja-lijn . Het metrostation bevindt zich onder het Plosjtsjad Kalinina (Kalininplein), aan de noordrand van het stadscentrum. Station Zajeltsovskaja dankt zijn naam aan het stadsdeel waarin het gelegen is, dat op zijn beurt genoemd is naar het riviertje de Jeltsovka. In de planningsfase werd het station Plosjtsjad Kalinina genoemd, naar het bovenliggende plein. In de omgeving van het station bevinden zich zowel grote woonwijken als industriegebieden.

Het station is ondiep gelegen en beschikt over een perronhal met een gewelfd plafond. De wanden langs de sporen zijn bekleed met wit marmer, de vloer is geplaveid met rood graniet. Aan rails aan het plafond zijn in zeven rijen lampen opgehangen. Aan het noordelijke uiteinde van het perron leiden roltrappen naar een van de twee stationshallen. De zuidelijke stationshal is enkel met trappen te bereiken, omdat deze door de helling van het bovenliggende landschap richting de Jeltsovka minder diep gelegen is. De bovengrondse toegangen van het station bevinden zich op de begane grond van wooncomplexen aan weerszijden van het Plosjtsjad Kalinina.
