William Cooper and Nephews
of Berkhamsted.
Early 1840s William Cooper (b.1814 in Clunbury, Shropshire) arrived in Berkhamsted, intending to start a new business as a veterinary surgeon. It is said that he arrived from London by cart with a black bag containing a few of his belongings and the tools of his trade such as his pestle and mortar.
1843 Business established.
Scab, the scourge of sheep, had previously been treated by smears containing tar and goose-grease, tobacco stalks and brimstone. None were very successful.
William carried out meticulous experiments between 1843 and 1852, using a combination of arsenic and sulphur to find a better treatment. He finally produced a sheep dip preparation which could be standardised in composition and quality as well as easily stored, packaged and transported.
By 1851, he lived in a small house in the High Street where he worked on the experiments which led to the formulation of his famous sheep dip.
1852 William Cooper erected his first mill for the manufacture of the powder dip at Ravens Lane. The factory was extended five times during the second half of the 19th century. Horse-powered mills were used for grinding, kilns for boiling the liquor and the factory also had areas where the sulphur was 'dressed'.
Initially, William managed all parts of the business himself.
1861 He was recorded as a veterinary surgeon, a chemist and a printer[1]. But it soon became too much for him to manage by himself.
1868 William senior was joined by his nephew, William Farmer Cooper, who initiated the firm's overseas trade.
1871 William senior was a manufacturing chemist, employing 14 men and 21 boys[2]
1879 The company engaged its first traveller, Henry Harrowell. The business expanded at home and abroad and offices were opened in Australasia, South Africa, and the United States in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
1881 Another nephew, Henry Herbert Cooper (who died in 1891, aged 31), was a solicitor, living with William Farmer Cooper. At some point he also joined the firm (1880?)
1881 William Cooper was a chemical manufacturer, employing 45 men and 30 boys[3] (William Farmer Cooper was a chemical manufacturer, recorded as employing 50 men and 30 boys[4])
Another nephew, Richard Powell Cooper, also a veterinary surgeon, joined the firm in or after 1881 (when he was living in Lichfield[5]).
1882 William Farmer Cooper died, aged 37.
William developed his own printing works and a lithographic process which was used to produce labels which could not be easily imitated.
1885 The founder, William Cooper, died; at the time he was a manufacturing chemist, emery grinder and printer[6]. He was much mourned by his employees. Although stern and hot-tempered, he treated his workers fairly and many of them stayed with the company all their working lives.
The company continued to expand after the death of William Cooper. Its travelling salesmen ensured that their powdered dip was now exported throughout the world.
Richard Powell Cooper became the sole owner of the business following the death of his uncle. In the next 22 years, under his direction, the company went from strength to strength.
1880s Another factory, the Lower Works, was built in the High Street. A piece of land at the back of this factory was used as a wharf where barges carrying sulphur, arsenic and coal were unloaded, and reloaded with cases containing packets of powdered dip which were transported by canal to the London docks.
1890s New steam-powered machinery was introduced and carpenters were employed to make boxes to carry the dip.
1898 Richard's eldest son, Richard Ashmole Cooper, became a partner in the company. One of his first acts was to encourage the installation of a revolutionary machine for wrapping and weighing the packets of dip. He was also instrumental in setting up the Cooper Research Laboratory in the office building in Ravens Lane in 1904.
1913 Sir Richard Powell Cooper died at Berkhamsted[7]
1913 His son, Sir Richard Ashmole Cooper, took over the business, whilst also serving as a Member of Parliament.
1920 The business became a limited company.
By 1925, due to poor health and an uncertain future, Richard Ashmole Cooper joined forces with Isaac McDougall, Chairman of McDougall and Robertson Ltd, a business in similar line, and amalgamated the two companies to form Cooper, McDougall and Robertson.

360 Assessment: 7 Practices for High Impact - outlines the key ingredients for realizing sustained improvement and ROI from your 360 assessment activities.
The 5 Biggest Termination Mistakes - provides guidelines for taking an action in an effective and humane manner.
In this issue, we also highlight some key roles for which we are recruiting talent, and share some photo memories of a special evening with Congresswoman Kay Granger, Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price, and Judge Glen Whitley.
As always, we enjoy your feedback.
There are a lot of feedback and development solutions. However, there is one tool that we've seen profoundly and consistently have sustainable impact - what's generally referred to as the 360-degree feedback process. 360 assessment is an efficient method of providing comprehensive, multi-rater and multi-level feedback on one individual. Among other benefits, when feedback is provided from one person (manager, peer), it is easy for a person to disregard or minimize the feedback as being "that person's opinion."
Unfortunately, at times it is necessary to make the difficult choice to terminate an employee. Whether it is one person or a large number of people who are terminated, it is critical to disengage an employee in a professional and dignified manner that reduces any risk to the company, and any unnecessary embarrassment to the departing employee. Read More.
Last Monday, April 17, CMP had the honor of dining with Congresswoman Kay Granger, Mayor Betsy Price, and Judge Glen Whitley, this was in support of our client, North Texas Area Health Centers.
As leaders, their passion for the community, education and economic development is infectious! A special thank you to Gloria Starling of Capital Grill for the excellent service and food, and to Dr. Di Sanchez for her partnership in hosting the event. It was a memorable and worthwhile evening for all.

A common complaint I hear is a coworker's negative attitude, or their work habits, leads to not liking the job (or that coworker or the boss, who seems to continue allowing this to happen). Working with others is not always easy, as banal as that sounds; we all have our differing ideas and expectations – the differences -which get in the way to being satisfied in our work.
A negative coworkers' words or behaviors can be the kiss of death for your career, which will show up as: frustration that the coworker gets away performing poorly, which, eventually, creeps over to the boss/organization, for not addressing the issue; anxiety that you can't control the situation; anger in taking on extra work that is not getting done ; apathy and disengagement, i.e. a 'whatever' attitude; thoughts of leaving or transferring out.
Negativity can be like a virus, which can spread rapidly. The more you hear negative comments, the more likely you are to start agreeing and then seeing your situations in a negative way; the more you keep thinking about them, the deeper the negativity lies. But it doesn't have to be this way.
use empathy to try to see and understand their behaviors; often, anxiety could be the root-cause for their procrastination or disinterest and not because they don't care, are lazy, etc.
Taking stock of your response to your feelings will lead to a deeper understanding of the situation and your reactions; only then will you be able to take appropriate actions to make corrections. The choice is yours, so do so wisely; your job satisfaction depends on it.

Ovarian Cancer Victims Ask Court to Block J&J's Bankruptcy Plan
Attorneys for thousands of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer after decades of exposure to Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder products are seeking a temporary restraining order and permanent injunction to prevent J&J, or any of its corporate affiliates, from transferring assets to a subsidiary and plunging it into bankruptcy.
The company has not denied that it is scheming to shield its $500 billion in assets from women cancer victims by moving its growing talc-cancer liabilities to a subsidiary before forcing that entity into bankruptcy. The total damages suffered by current talc-cancer victims are estimated at close to $17 billion. Historically, bankruptcy cases filed to resolve litigation, including those related to asbestos, often take years and almost never fully repay creditors, including personal injury victims.
In a motion filed in state district court in Missouri, the women argue that such a move amounts to a fraudulent conveyance and that laws in Missouri and most other states prevent such transfers of liabilities by solvent and profitable companies. They also note that such an approach could immediately halt more than 34,000 claims by ovarian cancer victims and force all related litigation into bankruptcy court, rather than giving these victims their day in trial court before judges and juries.
"Johnson & Johnson has actively threatened attorneys for plaintiffs with this scheme to force out-of-court settlements at pennies on the dollar. This is clear from what has been widely reported, combined with J&J's response," says Andy Birchfield, Mass Tort Section Head of the Beasley Allen law firm, attorney for three women or surviving relatives named in the filing. "J&J has betrayed its customers and concealed from the public that its asbestos-contaminated talc was poisoning women for generations. It used its powerful marketing arm to target Black women and other minorities, bullied the FDA to look the other way, and is now attempting to abuse the bankruptcy system to avoid its responsibility."
The strategy is known in legal circles as the "Texas Two-Step" because Texas law allows economically viable companies to incorporate in the state and then transfer liabilities to another entity with limited or no assets. In a recent similar case, In re DBMP LLC, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge J. Craig Whitley was critical of the practice and said personal injury claimants may have been defrauded in the process. In recent years, other companies including Georgia-Pacific LLC also split off asbestos liabilities through divisional mergers before placing them in bankruptcy.
"J&J has not denied they are considering such an outrageous plan," says Michelle Parfitt, co-lead counsel in the Talcum Powder MDL and Senior Partner at Ashcraft and Gerel, who also represents the plaintiffs. "If J&J is willing to resolve these claims within the civil court system, then such an injunction would have no effect on J&J's business operations and should not create any objections on their part."
Birchfield says the filing could have been made in several other states, but Missouri was chosen because several talc-related trials are pending there. The next trial is scheduled to begin September 7, in St. Louis.
"This scheme is part of a disturbing trend," says Alexandra Walsh, founder of Walsh Law. "If J&J is allowed to evade its obligations in this way, it will set a dangerous precedent, prompting other hugely profitable corporations to use the bankruptcy laws to shirk responsibility for their wrongdoing."
Dozens of peer-reviewed medical studies published in the last 35 years have found a statistically significant correlation between talcum powder use and ovarian cancer. Further research has confirmed that talc particles, when applied to the perineal area, can migrate to the ovaries and result in inflammation and related malignancies. In December 2018, Reuters reported that J&J knew for decades that its talc products were laced with asbestos, but kept that information from regulators and the public.
In May 2020, Johnson & Johnson announced the company would no longer make nor market talc-based powders for the North American market.
In June, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal resulting from a $2.1 billion judgment against the company entered by the Missouri Court of Appeals and upheld by the Missouri Supreme Court. That appellate court found that J&J had engaged in "reprehensible conduct" for decades by repeatedly denying the presence of asbestos and the known association between talc use and ovarian cancer.

The futures of Leicester City's large loan contingent will be analysed by Brendan Rodgers before the end of the season.
City have several senior players out on loan, including Islam Slimani, Adrien Silva, Filip Benkovic and Fousseni Diabate, as well as youngsters like Darnell Johnson, Josh Knight and George Thomas.
Rodgers admitted earlier this month that Slimani's loan at Fenerbahce had been "difficult", with the Algerian striker currently out of favour at the Turkish club.
But Silva, Benkovic and Diabate have all been regulars at their sides, Monaco, Celtic and Sivasspor respectively.
Rodgers has already spoken at length about Benkovic, who he has picked out for a role at City next season, but he will discuss the futures of the club's other loanees between now and the summer.
"I just came in to initially work with the players that are here," Rodgers said at his weekly press conference on Wednesday.
"There are a number of players out on loan and it's something we will discuss between now and the end of the season.
"(Slimani) is obviously a player who wants to play and the loan hasn't quite worked out how he would want, but these are all decisions that will be made at the end of the season.
Leicester City loanees: Islam Slimani (Fenerbahce), Filip Benkovic (Celtic), Adrien Silva (Monaco), Fousseni Diabate (Sivasspor), George Thomas (Scunthorpe), Daniel Iversen (Oldham), Elliott Moore (OH Leuven), Callum Elder (Ipswich), Josh Knight (Peterborough), Darnell Johnson (Hibernian).
Andy King (Derby) and Bartosz Kapustka (OH Leuven) have returned to City after suffering season-ending injuries.

Real-time detector for hypervelocity microparticles using piezoelectric material

Piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate was studied by bombarding with silver particles in the mass range from 2 to 100 pg, and the velocity range from 2 to 8 km/s. Output signals were uniquely identified on impact. It was found that incident energies above 100 nJ were measured unambiguously by a single lead-zirconate-titanate element. The detector characteristics were studied with respect to incident particle energy, angular dependence and size effects. Even though we have still unknown processes inherent in this detection method, the piezoelectric element has a potential as a real-time detector, if it is well calibrated.

"April 23, evening, 10.65 pound (channel catfish) on cut shad at Riverview Park.
Also the recently stocked crappie have dispersed through the lake and are doing well. (I have caught a few at multiple locations, when cast-netting for shad. I have been fortunate to have a few 6-inch shad swim under the net. What I find interesting is I have yet to have a bass take a free-swimming shad under a float (day break or evening). I know the bass are there because they show up in my net. Just makes me think there is a lot of food. To pass up such a live offering ?
Last, I let a young boy (under 10) struggle to land a 4-pound cat while his dad captured the moment with his phone. The best being when it finally surfaced.

Substantial progress has been made in enhancing the capacities of the national prison monitoring mechanisms in Türkiye, significantly contributing to ensuring sustainable and continuous prevention of ill-treatment in places of deprivation of liberty, concluded the participants at the closing conference of the project on "Enhancing the effectiveness of civil monitoring boards in line with European standards", which took place on 24 November 2022 in Ankara.
The conference gathered more than 200 practitioners, namely representatives from the Ministry of Justice, the Directorate General for Prisons and Detention Houses (DGPDH), members of the Civil Monitoring Boards (CMB), representatives from the civil society, enforcement judges, prosecutors, the Ombudsman office, the National Preventive Mechanism, academics, as well as representatives from several Embassies in the Republic of Türkiye.
Akin GÜRLEK, Deputy Minister of Justice of Türkiye, stressed that this project has already made a tangible impact, taking into account the importance of monitoring places of detention and respecting fundamental rights and freedoms of all detained and sentences persons.
In the same direction, Fatih GÜNGÖR, Deputy Director General of Prisons and Detention Houses, Ministry of Justice, concluded that all the foreseen project outputs have been delivered, leading to an improved cooperation and coordination among all prison monitoring stakeholders. The capacities of the CMB members have significantly improved, making the outcome from the prison monitoring process more reliable and of better quality.
Staffan HERRSTRÖM, Ambassador of Sweden to Türkiye noted that "the project created environment to enable dialogue and strengthen the mutual understanding of roles and mandates within the Turkish system between all the monitoring bodies. We are very pleased with the work carried out that will further pave the way for transparency and effectiveness of the civil monitoring boards".
Tanja RAKUSIC-HADZIC, Head of Cooperation in Police and Deprivation of Liberty Unit of the Council of Europe, highlighted that "at the end of the project's implementation, we have managed to set preconditions for more independent, efficient and self-sustainable prison monitoring boards in Türkiye. Having in mind that the number of prisons in the country is increasing and that the number of detained and sentenced persons in 2022 has grown by 11,6 % compared to the year before, the role of prisons monitors is more important than ever before".
All the beneficiaries and relevant stakeholders also recognised the impact of the project. One of the CMB members said that, although she has been a prison monitor since 2011, she used to have prejudices towards some categories of inmates, which has changed following her involvement in the on-site training sessions. Another CMB member noted that thanks to the new working methodology they can now conduct proper prison monitoring visits, also referring to relevant international standards. The representative of the Ombudsman office noted that nowadays, compared to three years ago, that pay greater attention and analyse the CMBs reports in detail, which is a clear indicator that confirms the quality of CMBs' reporting has improved. The NPM representative praised the improved coordination among external prison monitoring bodies, while one of the public prosecutors said that there was a revolutionary change of mindset as a result of the project, and finally the CMB reports are being taken into consideration by the public prosecutors.
At the end, the Council of Europe expressed their expectation that the excellent cooperation with the DGPDH will continue in the future. Also, the participants were informed that the DGPDH has received an Excellence Award by the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) for Reducing Reoffending, namely for their Integration of Smart Technologies into Prisons project.
The closing conference was the final event organised in the scope of the Project entitled "Enhancing the Effectiveness of the Civil Monitoring Boards in Turkey in line with the European Standards" funded by Sweden, Switzerland, the Republic of Türkiye, the Human Rights Trust Fund and Canada.

11 VIDEO GAMES THAT GOT US THROUGH 2020
Posted by Harry Wood | Dec 30, 2020 | Fandom Features, Features, Video Games | 0
Source: Intersloth/Nintendo/the Pop Insider
It feels a little silly to make a "best of" list in 2020, a year that would land pretty high itself on a "worst years of the Gregorian calendar" list. But improbably — albeit entirely logically — 2020 was one of the best years for gaming in recent memory. Games offered us everything we were looking for but couldn't have: Worlds to dive into to escape this one, experiences we could share with friends who we could no longer see, battles that were in our power to win (and ones we could always restart until they worked out our way).
RELATED: VIDEO GAMING CONTINUES TO BE AMERICA'S PANDEMIC PASTIME
As I looked back on the games that had the greatest impact on me this year, the experiences that stuck with me most reflected those offerings. Not all of the games on my list were new this year — in fact, one just celebrated its 10th anniversary — but they all found new relevance. I can't think of a better way to lower the curtain on 2020 than by shouting out the games that helped me wade through it. And hopefully, when it becomes time to do my best of 2021 list, it will come out in a world that is at least slowly limping in the direction of normal — whatever normal may mean. Who knows! Everything is meaningless! Onto the list!
Note: Instead of ranking games from 10 to 1, I decided to make up an arbitrary list of awards to give out, based on the role these games filled. Enjoy!
MOST SOCIAL LIVES SAVED: ONLINE CO-OP GAMING — JOINT WINNERS, FALL GUYS: ULTIMATE KNOCKOUT AND AMONG US
The online hangout went from being a novelty to a necessity this year, as pandemic restrictions drove us inside and kept us apart. Online gaming is nothing new, and many of the games that shined most weren't new either — I logged more hours on League of Legends this year than I would ever care to admit in polite society. But what was new? The way that these games became the way we socially gathered in 2020. Whether it was hopping into a group chat with some friends to play Fortnite late into the night, or jumping onto Twitch with 400,000 people to watch Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez go on a murder spree on a spaceship, online gaming was a core part of how we spent time together this year. I decided to highlight two games in particular that rose to dizzying heights this year.
Fall Guys and Among Us have much in common: They both feature an array of colorful, gummi-like characters. Both are also capable of inspiring massive bursts of rage. But let's be real: There is something "Only in 2020" about the most popular mobile game of the year being one where you and your friends run around stabbing each other in the face then blatantly lying about it.

GAME SINGLE-HANDEDLY KEEPING ME FROM KEELING OVER DEAD AT AGE 35: RING FIT ADVENTURE
I'll be the first to admit that when Ring Fit Adventure was all the rage in 2019, I was far behind the hype. Of course, then I was an active New Yorker, walking 30 miles a day and pole vaulting over speeding taxis with the greatest of ease. What business did a fitness video game have with me? Then two big things changed in 2020: The outside world became poison, and a very mean doctor told me that, actually, I somehow wasn't in perfect physical condition. A Ring Fit very quickly ended up in my shopping cart. Ring Fit's blending of fantasy and fitness is an easy access point for people like me whose hackles start to raise when they get too close to someone using the word "burpee" in casual conversation. Out of all the games I put hours into this year, Ring Fit was by far the most rewarding. Mainly because it, you know, actually rewarded me. With, like, endorphins and weight loss. Take note, Bethesda.
MOST TIME SPENT QUIETLY GIGGLING TO SELF: WHAT THE GOLF?
These days, more and more games dare to ask big questions. What do we do when those we love most are the ones who threaten us? Is there such a thing as moral righteousness in a dystopian society? How far would you go to prove your independence to a father who fights you every step of the way?
But only one game was bold enough to ask the most important question of all: What if golf balls hit you? What the Golf, which has been putting around since 2019 but came out on the Switch this year, takes a simple yet clever concept (What weird ways can you make someone play a hole of golf?) and blows it out into dozens of goofy levels. By the time you're teeing eggs into a frying pan or tossing whole houses across the course, you've been sucked in. And while there were games that made me feel more deeply than this one, there were few that made me laugh as hard.
GAME MOST LIKELY TO GIVE MY DOG A HEART ATTACK: MARIO KART LIVE: HOME CIRCUIT
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit must have been in development well before 2020 rolled around, but there was no better-timed release this year. Right as we were all becoming deeply sick of looking around our homes — the sameness, the repetition, the day-in-day-out-ness of it all — Nintendo came through with an augmented reality game dedicated to making us see the nooks and crannies of our house in a whole new light. Home Circuit let us transform our homes into miniature Mario Kart courses, complete with our own real-life (but sadly not real-size) Mario Kart to drive around.
It wasn't a perfect game, and it quickly became clear why most Mario Kart levels are set in twisting jungles and towering mountains and not, say, a very small New York apartment. But its magic was in making our quarantine quarters feel fresh again. And in convincing my dog that the Devil exists, and he has taken the form of a cheery Italian plumber.

MOST SUCCESSFUL GAME AT MAKING ME FORGET I WAS ESSENTIALLY DOING VIRTUAL YARD WORK: ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW HORIZONS
Speaking of well-timed releases, no one at Nintendo could have predicted the world that Animal Crossing: New Horizons would emerge into when they originally announced its March 2020 release date. What would have been a quietly beloved addition to a touchstone Nintendo franchise instead became the poster child for pandemic gaming. We gathered as a society, escaping to our virtual private island getaways to… Fish in the crystal clear waters! Build your dream home and decorate it! Slowly descend into a capitalist nightmare as you are slowly crushed under the weight of hundreds of thousands of Bells worth of debt! New Horizons continues to grow with the seasons, releasing new content as the year goes on. But nothing will compare to the feeling it produced upon its arrival — the sense that thousands of us who had been holding our breath for weeks suddenly found a momentary reprieve to exhale.

GAME THAT HAD NO RIGHT TO BE AS FUN AS IT WAS: ASTRO'S PLAYROOM
I don't mean to be rude, but I went into Astro's Playroom with very low expectations. Like, to-the-floor expectations. I mean, it's a glorified tutorial, for goodness sake! It ships with the PlayStation 5 for free, and it is just there to teach you how the controller works! Come on!! Oh, how delightfully wrong I was. Astro's Playroom is a free launch title, yes, and it is meant to give your fancy new controller a workout. But it's also a joyous platformer and celebration of the history of the PlayStation. It's a romp through lively and vibrant worlds filled with references to classic Playstation titles, hidden pieces of retro PlayStation technology, and — if that's not enough — clever and compelling gameplay as well. Astro's Playroom is a game that serves its purpose by outgrowing it, leaving you thinking, "If this is what the starter game is like, I can't wait to see what might come next."

GAME I SPENT MOST TIME FRANTICALLY TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN: BLASEBALL
Where were you when the Peanut descended? When the Microphone shattered the multiverse over the fields of Los Angeli? When Dominic Marijuana killed God? If you can't answer those questions — or, more likely, if you have no clue what I'm talking about — then you certainly weren't participating in the cultural event known as Blaseball. Blaseball sprang into existence this summer as a self-described "online browser baseball simulation horror game." Baseball and horror might seem incongruous (unless you're a Pirates fan! Heyo!) but Blaseball quickly followed through on its promise, letting players vote once a week on a series of decrees and blessings that would rapidly change the game and its players. Rogue umpires began incinerating players. Giant peanuts fell to Earth, trapping players inside. But quickly, and magically, the fans of Blaseball realized that the curse of these selections could be fought with coordination and teamwork. What unfurled next was a riveting back and forth between a game's community and its constantly innovating development team. Fans would do their best to break the game, and the developers would make them pay for their insolence. It's too much to explain here — or really anywhere — although narrative designer and writer Cat Manning does great work doing so. But Blaseball started as a curiosity for me, but it quickly became my most-anticipated web visit of the day all summer. I can't wait for what comes next.
GAME THAT SOMEHOW MADE ME MISS THE PLACE I CURRENTLY AM: SPIDER-MAN: MILES MORALES
Insomniac Game's first Spider-Man title, which was a Hall of Fame game for the PS4, was notable not only for its gameplay and story, but also for the lovingly crafted New York City that players swung through as Peter Parker. Everything from the re-created skyline to the way that the people of the city interacted with you on the street felt so distinctly "New York." But while Peter Parker was a Spider-Man in New York City, Miles Morales is a Spider-Man of New York City — and the difference drives Miles Morales to brand new heights. I had to move out of New York City in July when my lease ended, and I've pined for it ever since. Watching Miles ripping trick shots as he soars through the city to help a bodega owner find his cat, watching the way the people of Harlem claim him as their own and how they stand up for and protect each other — it's the quintessential realization of Spider-Man as the people's hero, and New York City as a city of heroes all on its own. It made me emotional, it made me miss New York City, and it made me long for the day when I can walk the city's streets again. Plus, you get a cat in a backpack.

GAME WHERE I SPENT THE MOST TIME DOING THINGS OTHER THAN, Y'KNOW, PLAYING THE GAME: PERSONA 5 ROYAL
There are two ways to look at Persona 5 Royal. You could either call it a Japanese role-playing game (JPRG) centered around high schoolers who are granted mysterious powers that allow them to steal the corruption out of the hearts of adults who have lost their way in the world… or you could call it the world's most complex darts simulator. And who am I to judge which one you choose? I earnestly loved Persona 5 Royal. The characters are charming and immensely likeable, the storyline is completely engrossing, and the gameplay and combat systems are rewarding and challenging. But where the game really shines is in its sheer depth. You can legitimately spend hours around the main missions of the game exploring the game's version of Tokyo, forging bonds with the game's characters, hitting the batting cages, or, yes, playing a game of darts. I put 120 hours into Persona, and it felt like a breeze. Like all of the best pieces of entertainment, I felt legitimately sad when the game ended. It might have been a world threatened by vengeful forces hellbent on destroying humanity, but what can I say? It was a world I never wanted to leave.

STEAMIEST "INTRO TO GREEK MYTHOLOGY" LESSON: HADES
Alright, honesty time: if this were a boring, regular-old ranked top ten list — which it's not! — Hades would still be sitting here at the end/the top. Supergiant Games, which is on just an absolutely killer streak, completely outdid themselves with this one. Hades manages to be effortlessly cool while simultaneously so indicative of the sheer amount of effort and care that went into making it, a feat that is way easier said than done. The game's method of incremental progression, of slowly reaching further and, in turn, unraveling the stories of the gods, mortals, and creatures that stand between your character Zagreus and his freedom, creates a puzzle box that never stops enticing you to make one more twist to see if you might unlock something new. And the combat is so buttery-smooth. And the character designs, the artwork, the music — Hades is a masterpiece, hands down. And if the quality of the game isn't enough, the reporting on the positive culture at the studio, should clinch it: Hades is what the future of games deserves to be. Now we just have to earn that future. Onward to 2021!

NEW DELHI, INDIA, June 25, 2013—At the U.S.-India Higher Education Dialogue today, the U.S. government representatives released an IIE white paper on the implementation of the U.S. community college model in India and the opportunities for community colleges to help meet the workforce needs of local communities in India, the world's third largest economy.
The white paper was prepared by the Institute of International Education and sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in India. Workforce development and continued India-U.S. higher education collaboration are key issues for discussion at the Higher Education Dialogue, which is being co-chaired by Secretary Kerry and India's HRD minister M M Pallam Raju.
This continuing dialog is based on the belief that education cooperation between the U.S. and India forms an important part of the foundation of relations between our two peoples, cutting across all fields of engagement, and that that increased collaboration in these areas leads to greater understanding and increased prosperity for both our nations. In addition to the community college initiative, the U.S. and Indian governments will discuss student mobility between the two countries and a wide range of research and innovation partnerships and institutional partnerships, as well as technology-enabled education such as massive open online courses.
The new Community College publication, edited by IIE/India Director Namrata Jha, reflects a focus on education to equip young people with the skills they need to compete globally and in new fields. In the United States, the community college system works with local industry to produce graduates with immediately applicable skills. This paper explores ways in which the model can be adapted to meet the huge demand of Indian students for higher education and realize the full potential of the youth dividend and the profound way a well-designed, country-wide community college system could advance India's economic growth.
Applying the U.S. Community College Model to India: Indian Perspectives, authored by B. S. Panwar, Director of M.S. Panwar Community College; Xavier Alphonse, Director of the Indian Center for Research and Development of Community Education; and Murli Nagasundaram and Duleep Deosthale of Manipal Global Education Service.

How will the Intraosseous Infusion Market Outlook for 2021-2031 compare to 2016-2020?
According to Future Market Insights (FMI), the sales of the intraosseous infusion device have grown at a CAGR of nearly 5.6% between 2016 and 2020. Increasing research on emergency medical care portfolio globally will result in impressive sales prospects over the coming years.
According to FMI, the intraosseous infusion devices market holds nearly 19% of the US$ 18.5 Bn worth global market for infusion devices. The demand for intraosseous devices will continue increasing through the forecast period.
For instance, air support for immediate medical emergency services is the new outlook in 911 services and has been appreciated by the other emergency health professionals and the local population.
The upcoming air emergency medical service is to be equipped with a variety of emergency medical devices such as a ventilator, cardiac monitor, burn packs, IV pumps, cervical collars and obstetric kit along with intraosseous infusion devices.
The upcoming policy is expected to drive the intraosseous infusion devices market. Infusion of drugs through the bone using intraosseous devices is more cost-effective and can be done more efficiently as compared to intravenous catheters in hospital settings.
Manufacturers are investing in research and development activities to develop IO devices that can be used in hospital settings to initiate instant care to patients. Mergers and acquisitions together with extensive R&D initiatives for strengthening product portfolio are key strategies adopted by companies to increase their revenue.
For Instance, On Dec 18, Cook Medical Incorporated announced the acquisition of Whitaker Park Development Authority Inc. that once manufactured cigarettes but henceforth will be manufacturing intraosseous infusion devices for better care of the patients.
The market is consolidated and is dominated by players such as include, Pyng medical Corp., Cook Medical Incorporated, PerSys Medical, Aero Healthcare, Teleflex, Inc., and Becton Dickinson and Co.
Future Market Insights expects the global market for intraosseous infusion devices to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% between 2021 and 2031. The growth is attributable to the rising number of research and development activities undertaken by market players to expand their presence and strengthen product portfolios.
How is Rising Demand for Emergency Healthcare Affecting Intraosseous Infusion Devices Market?
IO Devices are designed to maximize efficiency, safety, eliminate unnecessary services and decrease treatment time. A sedentary lifestyle has also determined the growth of the market as it causes various illnesses which incudes, last stage renal diseases, COPD, urological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Such chronic clinical conditions have brought demand in the vascular access devices in the forecast period.
Emergency medical care is considered as pre-hospital or ambulatory transportation aid for road accident victims and those who have sustained life-threatening injuries for which, immediate medical intervention is required. Lack of structural models in medical aid leads to ineffective medical care. These factors, along with the rising number of emergency cases globally is expected to raise demand for efficient emergency medical services and in turn, is underpinning the intraosseous infusion device market.
According to the American Heart Association report, 2015, compiled with data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and other government sources, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause for death globally, associated with 17.3 Mn deaths per year, which is further expected to increase to 23.6 Mn by 2030 end.
Vascular access products fill an important void in emergency medical services and contribute significantly towards the annual revenue of various major medical devices manufacturers. The ease and immediate effect through vascular access have helped considerably high number of patients requiring immediate medication intervention.
According to an Elsevier/Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) editorial supplement sponsored by VidaCare, IO infusion supported vascular access of drugs positively and provided rapid vascular access in 250 patients with a success rate of 97%. The study supports the significance of the need for vascular access and is expected to favour the growth of the intraosseous infusion market shortly
Over the recent years, there has been a significant upsurge in the number of emergency medical cases in response to rising demand from patients, physicians and insurers. Rapid technological advancements have led to various medical procedures being carried out using vascular access devices.
How is The Rising Number of Traumatic Surgeries Affecting Intraosseous Infusion Devices Market Growth?
There are two components involved in community care, care during transportation and care in the healthcare facility. In emergency medical departments a patient can be brought in a severe life threatening condition, be it severe burns, road traffic accidents or cardiac arrest, where sometimes it is difficult to find for an IV point or it becomes difficult when the venous system is collapsed. This in turn is need for intraosseous infusion devices in the market.
A rising number of traumatic surgeries especially in pediatric patients has been reported in the past few decades, which is further expected to support the intraosseous infusion devices based market growth.
According to the Royal College of Surgeons, 2014, a document on emergency surgery policy briefing states that approximately 25% of patients were admitted in an emergency in 2012-2013 with 32% of trauma and orthopaedic surgery collectively. The rate of patient readmission increased by 27.1% from 2002-03 to reach 11.5% in 2012-13
The American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support Manual (ATLS) 1997, has suggested the use of intraosseous infusion in children up to 6 years of age during traumatic situations like a circulatory failure or after two failed attempts of intravenous access.
What is the Impact of the COVID-19 Crisis on the Market?
Due to COVID 19, there has been a gradual rise in the market growth across intraosseous infusion devices segment. During the pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of emergency medical services where instant treatment was necessary. Furthermore, clinical conditions that needed instant care/ attention such as severe burns, accidents or trauma where IV access is not possible at that particular time and IO devices helps rapid infusion of fluids and medicines. This has let the demand for IO devices to boost.

Genial Irish NYC policeman Tom O'Hara is looking forward to the arrival of his wife and their young son, Shandy from Ireland. Several days before the ship is to dock, O'Hara gets a radiogram informing him that his wife has died at sea. That night a burglar breaks into the Antigue & Second Hand Shop ran by Sol Bloom, directly below O'Hara's flat. The burglar shoots O'Hara, who has rushed to his friend's aid, and, with his last breath he asks Sol to take care of Shandy. When Shandy arrives, Sol immediately makes him a member of the family, which also consists of a very mischievous motherless boy named Joey Bloom, whose pursuits consist of stealing oranges from fruit-dealer Tony, and playing hookey from school. Tom Varney, the young beat cop, is in love with Ruth Sneider, whose mother runs a Cleaning and Dyeling establishment.

WHO chief scientist says new Omicron subvariant may cause fresh Covid-19 wave
No demand; nearly 100 million Covishield vaccine doses expired, says Adar Poonawala
A woman being tested for Covid-19 in Kolkata | Salil Bera
A new subvariant of Omicron could trigger a fresh wave of Covid-19 infections in some countries, World Health Organisation (WHO) chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan has said.
There are over 300 subvariants of Omicron, but what is of concern right now is the XBB, which is a recombinant virus, she said. "We had seen some recombinant viruses earlier. It is very immune-evasive, which means it can overcome the antibodies. So slightly that we may see another wave of infections in some countries because of XBB," she told reporters on the sidelines of the annual general meeting of the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN) in Pune.
The WHO is also tracking derivatives of variants BA.5 and BA.1, which are also more transmissible and immune-evasive. She, however, clarified that so far there is no data from any country to suggest these subvariants are more clinically severe.
She further said: "We need to continue to monitor and track. We have seen that testing has gone down across countries, the genomic surveillance has also gone down over the last few months. We need to maintain at least a strategic sampling of genomic surveillance so that we can keep tracking the variants as we have been doing and studying," she said.
She further stated that the Director General of the WHO has said that Covid-19 continues to be a public health emergency of international concern.
Speaking of vaccine coverage, she said the goal is to fully vaccinate 100 per cent of people over the age of 60 and 100 per cent of health care and frontline workers
"The full vaccination schedule is actually three doses. The primary two doses plus booster in the next four to six months. But in many countries, including India, the uptake of the booster is low. So we really encourage people to take the third dose," she said.
Low booster coverage
Speaking on the sidelines of the same event, Chief Executive Officer of Serum Institute of India (SII) Adar Poonawalla said there is no demand for Covid-19 booster vaccines as people are fed up with the pandemic.
Poonawalla added that SII stopped the production of the Covishield vaccine since December 2021. Around 100 million doses also got expired, he said.
Going forward, when people take a few shots every year, they may take anti-coronavirus vaccines and other shots together, Poonawalla said, adding, "It will become that kind of a product."

Unregulated Allston Cannabis Shop Draws Boston Police Notice
News	 3 PM 12.03.2014
As the slow process toward licensed medical marijuana dispensaries in Massachusetts continues, one medical marijuana activist is facing an investigation of his Allston cannabis shop — though he claims it is 100% legal.
Bill Downing, a medical marijuana activist, owns and operates CBD Please, a shop located at 218 Lincoln Street in Allston that sells cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychotic ingredient in the cannabis plant that does not contain THC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis. According to an interview with CBS, Downing says cannabidiol can help control are pain, depression, spasms, nausea, and anxiety. Downing himself uses a CBD-infused cream to treat his own case of gout. He also isn't afraid of what sort of punishment may be coming for him.
"The state can do anything they want. They can throw me in jail. They can do whatever they want," said Downing.
"But I know I'm doing the right thing and I'm doing it for the right reasons. I'm doing it for the patients here in the state and I really don't care about the bureaucracies trying to stop me because they're immoral. And because the public does not support them."
Downing has been at the forefront of cannabis legislation in the state for years. He currently works as an instructor at the Northeastern Institute of Cannabis (NIC) in Natick, where he trains future dispensary employees in patient services. Downing also sued the Department of Health this summer after they sent him and several other marijuana caregivers cease-and-desist letters for providing over 1,000 patients with marijuana.
But the all-important question — is Downing's store legal? — remains unclear. When the Boston Herald reached out to the Massachusetts Department of Health, their statement didn't address Downing or his store at all.
"The Massachusetts Medical Use of Marijuana Program regulates and certifies registered marijuana dispensaries in compliance with Massachusetts law on medical use of marijuana. Outside of that, anyone who cultivates, transports, possesses, distributes or sells marijuana in violation of Massachusetts law may be subject to law enforcement action."
Currently, cannabidiol is classified as an "orphan drug" by the FDA, and it is being used to treat Dravet syndrome, a form of epilepsy occasionally found in infants. However, there are several US-based companies that actively sell and test the drug, including Cannavest, a Nevada-based company that claims it is 100% legal.
According to Healthy Hemp Oil, the US classified CBD derived from an industrial hemp plant as a food-based dietary supplement, and therefore legal, whereas CBD derived from a marijuana plant is dependent on the state's medical marijuana policies. That being said, a simple Google search reveals hundreds of results for CBD sales, including stores that advertise directly through the search enginge itself.
Downing claimed to CBS that his cannabidiol is derived from hemp oil, and therefore not subject to dispensary licensing. However, Boston Police told CBS that it is "looking into the legality" of Downing's store.
Downing isn't worried about trouble from authorities, but he is worried about how long Massachusetts residents have had to wait for lawmakers to approve dispensaries.
"The whole point here is the Department of Public Health has been unable to deliver medical cannabis," Downing told the Boston Herald. "It's been two years since voters approved it, and patients are sick and tired of waiting, and they don't need to."

The thrice-divorced Kentucky clerk refusing to issue gay marriage licenses is a hypocrite, according to Dan Savage
Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who is refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, will appear in court Thursday while a judge decides whether to hold her in contempt, a charge that could mean a fine and prison time.
While many have called out Davis since a video of her refusing to issue a marriage license to Rowan County residents David Moore and David Ermold went viral in July, relationship columnist and gay activist Dan Savage went a step further on MSNBC Tuesday night, saying that "this is about someone hypocritcally looking to cash in". He added: "And she is a hypocrite." More

Lewisham council awarded £50k to tackle Social isolation
by Eshna Mangat/ June 17, 2017/ Lewisham, Local News, Society/ No Comments/
Catford Library, Pic: Lewisham Council
City hall has awarded £50,000 to Lewisham council to give Londoners the opportunity to borrow tablet computers from libraries for the first time.
The mayor of London's "Mi Wifi" scheme will pay for 70 tablet computers in Lewisham.
Lewisham council won the competition against other London Boroughs for the £50k funding.
From June 2017 to January 2018 Lewisham residents will be able to borrow a tablet for up to four weeks and will be offered six hours of digital skills training. The tablets are also available for community groups to loan to the vulnerable residents they work with.
The scheme, launched during London Tech Week is aimed at Londoners who have no or little access to the internet and are lacking basic technologic skills which contribute to economic disadvantage, low levels of well-being and social isolation in these groups. It will test how digital exclusion can be reduced among specific groups.
Sir Steve Bullock, Mayor of Lewisham, said: "Thanks to the Mayor of London's £50,000 'Mi Wifi' award, Lewisham residents will be the first Londoners to be able to borrow tablets from libraries. Our tablet loan scheme will give more people the chance to go online to find work, save money and keep in touch with family and friends."
Deputy Mayor of Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement, Matthew Ryder, said: "The new 'Mi Wifi' pilot in Lewisham is an exciting initiative to help people to find jobs, access their local council services and reduce social isolation by getting online through their local library.
Digital inclusion is becoming more and more important. We know it can transform lives, particularly for those who are most excluded, including older and disabled Londoners and people from disadvantage backgrounds. But too many still find it challenging and unfamiliar – we have to help change that. I look forward to seeing the project in action and finding new ways to help more Londoners reap of being online with the support of their community.
