Urban Archeologist: I Won the Italian Lottery!!!..Wait. What's the Italian Lottery?
I Won the Italian Lottery!!!..Wait. What's the Italian Lottery?
No I didn't win the Italian Lottery. But I do have something to celebrate: This is my 2 year anniversary! Back in January of 2009, I made a resolution to see what this "blogging thing" was all about, well I now know that it's about 140-odd posts. Who-da thunk I had so many treasures? I guess I should have put treasures in "quotations," because their value seems as yet unknown. Speaking of potential treasure - I did find this lottery ticket from 1964. (Click on the image to enlarge) Another find in a random box of papers. The question I need answered is...did I win?
I like the layout and especially the racing theme. I have searched the phrase "Lotteria Di Monza" but all I can find so far is a similar ticket (different image) from the early 1960's. It might help if I could read just a little italian, more than "Inspector General of the lottery offers a 1st Prize of 150,00,00 Lira!" Along with the "Minister of Finance". I am hoping someone can find a few more tidbits of information on this than I could. The back has much more to say but I can't speak a word of it.
Well, I'm not quitting my day job, unless this turns out to be a rare find and/or a winner.


This paper quantifies the factors explaining long-term improvements in child height for age z-scores in Bangladesh (1996/1997–2011), India (1992/1993–2005/2006), Nepal (1997–2011) and Pakistan (1991–2013). We apply the same statistical techniques to data from a common data source from which we have extracted a set of common explanatory variables that capture 'nutrition-sensitive' factors. Three are particularly important in explaining height for age z-score changes over these timeframes: improvements in material well-being; increases in female education; and improvements in sanitation. These factors have comparable associations across all four countries.

Belle Gibson lied about everything
Belle Gibson has been a prominent figure in the alternative health world for some time now. Ms Gibson's big claim to fame has been that she miraculously cured her terminal brain cancer just by eating healthy food. Not only did she claim that she cured her own cancer, she also suggested that other cancer patients would benefit from following her healthy lifestyle and profited from selling a cook book and app on the subject.
And it was all bullshit.
Wikipedia sums the scenario up nicely:
In early 2015, emerging media scrutiny revealed that Gibson's cancer claims appeared to have been fabricated, that she had lied about her age and other details of her personal life and history, and had used company and charity campaign funds to lead a profligate and affluent lifestyle. There are claims she rented an expensive town house, leased an office suite and luxury car, underwent cosmetic dental procedures, and holidayed internationally from the proceeds of money purportedly raised for charity.
After a month of intense media scrutiny of her story, in an April 2015 interview Gibson admitted that her cancer claims had been totally fabricated, stating "none of it's true".
Gibson's actions have been described as "deceit on a grand scale, for personal profit".
It's estimated that the book and app had raised over $1,000,000 and Gibson herself has claimed that she had "countless times helped others" to treat their cancers "naturally" and "leading them down natural therapy for everything from fertility, depression, bone damage and other types of cancer".
Do you realise what that means? She lied to cancer patients to profit from their hopelessness and actively lead them away from the only treatments that are medically proven to help them survive.
And she didn't even follow the bullshit she was spouting about keeping toxins out of your body
In addition to this, it is alleged that Gibson raised a lot of money in the name of 5 different charities but either didn't use the money for the charitable work she had claimed she would and/or massively exaggerated how much of the money she did end up going to charity.
Gibson actively encouraged things such as not vaccinating children, consuming raw, non-pasteurised milk, and Gerson Therapy.
When it became clear that people were going to find out that Gibson had never had cancer at all, let alone the multiple cancers she had claimed, she started deleting any posts relating to that topic from her social media platforms. In many cases, she went further and deleted the accounts completely.
Gibson has finally bitten the bullet and conceded that everything that she'd said to help her become famous was fabricated. She had lied her way into the hearts of those millions of people who are suffering with medical conditions that modern medicine doesn't have pleasant solutions for, and then she used those lies to take their money.
You don't have to be a shrink to suspect Ms Gibson is an out and out crazy bitch, now do you?
Of course there's been complete uproar since the truth has come to light. And Ms Gibson's response is has been to say:
"In the last two years I have worked every single day living and raising up an online community of people who supported each other… I understand the confusion and the suspicion, but I also know that people need to draw a line in the sand where they still treat someone with some level of respect or humility – and I have not been receiving that."
"I just think [speaking out] was the responsible thing to do. Above anything, I would like people to say, 'Okay, she's human. She's obviously had a big life. She's respectfully come to the table and said what she's needed to say, and now it's time for her to grow and heal.'"
Of all the shit Ms Gibson has said and done, to me, it's these quotes which are the most telling of just how far from normal her line of thinking is. You don't get to build an empire on lies while you take money from hopeless, suffering people in return for offering them fairytales and good vibes and then get to expect anyone to feel sorry for you or be understanding of your plight.
What the fuck sort of thinking is that? If you actively and knowingly deceive people, you don't get to be treated with dignity when they find out. No, you should count yourself lucky that some poor cancer patient who wasted time on your lies doesn't hunt you down and end you! For fuck sake! Who the hell could do this and still expect "some level of respect or humility"? That's the statement right there that just proves there's something very, very wrong with Belle Gibson.
There are a lot of angry people out there who are definitely not saying "Okay, she's human." Instead, they're calling her a monster, and I'd be hard pressed to disagree.
So, as far as the crazy bitch ranks go, Belle Gibson is sitting very, very high up. She may even be the craziest bitch I've ever heard of.
Crazy bitch tip: do not mislead millions of people into thinking that eating well and exercising are enough to fight cancer.

Some women make fantastic role models because they carry themselves with poise and elegance, and maintain a quiet dignity as they traverse the world we share. Those women are mesmerising wonders and I'm always grateful to them for casting such a sorely needed glimpse into what magnificence a modern woman can be.
As will all things however, some women only get half way. They get the manner but fail the looks or they get the looks and fail the dignity, or they get hand-fed all the money they could ever need, the good fortune to have movie-star looks, and they still manage to give of the tried and true impression of a downright crazy bitch. No finer example of this exists at the minute than the subject of a very recent 'Conscious Uncoupling', named Gwyneth Paltrow.
Now, let me tell you something. You're more likely to catch me with my head inside an oven than wedged between the glossy pages of a gossip magazine but sometimes the silliness that would normally be kept to that sort of publication pushes its way out into the rest of the world loudly enough that the rest of us hear about it, and this Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris whats-his-face from Coldplay divorce thing is one of those noisy celebrity stories that everyone ends up hearing about.
What really interested me about this story though, was hearing some of the quotes attributed to our dear Gwyneth. Such as…
About the sun: "We're human beings and the sun is the sun—how can it be bad for you? I don't think anything that's natural can be bad for you."
About veggie gardens: "When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat."
Regarding Hot Dogs: "I basically love anything that comes in a hot dog bun… except hot dogs."
And in an interview with E!, she broke out this fine piece of work about how much harder her life is than that of a 9-5 working mother:
"It's much harder for me," she said. "I feel like I set it up in a way that makes it difficult because … for me, like if I miss a school run, they are like, 'Where were you?' I don't like to be the lead so I don't (have) to work every day, you know, I have little things that I like and obviously I want it to be good and challenging and interesting, and be with good people and that kind of thing."
"I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening," said the polarizing Paltrow. "When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."
Holy mother of crap, woman! Can you imagine how nutty you'd have to be to even think it's more difficult being a multimillionaire actress than it is to be a regular working Mum? It blows my mind! But to be so bat-shit crazy that you'd actually say it out loud, not just to yourself or to your family, but directly to a reporter who should surely understand by now is going to put it into a magazine or on a website that specifically targets working mothers!
Gwyneth Paltrow as the looks, she has the money, she has EVERYTHING except enough damned sense to keep her crazy on the inside of her head. She's got two left feet and she's planting them directly into her mouth on a regular basis.
Crazy bitch tip: Try to keep touch with reality, no matter how many movies you star in.
Check out what a real working mother had to say in response to Gwyneth's laments:
"Dear Gwyneth,
I really enjoyed your recent comments to E! about how easy an office job is for parents, compared to the gruelling circumstances of being on a movie set. 'I think it's different when you have an office job, because it's routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening,' you said. 'When you're shooting a movie, they're like, 'We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,' and then you work 14 hours a day, and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it's not like being on set."
"As a mother of a toddler, I couldn't agree more!
'Thank God I don't make millions filming one movie per year' is what I say to myself pretty much every morning as I wait on a windy Metro-North platform, about to begin my 45-minute commute into the city. Whenever things get rough, all I have to do is keep reminding myself of that fact. It is my mantra.
"And I know all my fellow working-mom friends feel the same. Am I right, ladies?
We're always gabbing about how easy it is to balance work and home life. Whenever I meet with them at one of our weekly get-togethers — a breeze to schedule, because reliable baby sitters often roam my neighborhood in packs, holding up signs peddling their services — we have a competition to see who has it easier. Is it the female breadwinners who work around the clock to make sure their mortgages get paid, lying awake at night, wracked with anxiety over the idea of losing their jobs? Or is it the mothers who get mommy-tracked and denied promotions? What about the moms with 'regular' 9-to-5 jobs, who are penalized when their kids are sick and they don't have backup child care?
"Those women are living the dream, I tell you!
"Which reminds me, child care. As you know, Gwynnie, having a staff can be a real drag. It's so hard to find good help these days! That's why it's a good thing there's all this nationally subsidized, high-quality day care lying around for the taking. It just makes things easier knowing you have such a strong support network and don't have to pay someone anywhere from $30K to $65K annually to take care of your child full-time.
"You mentioned in your E! interview that when someone has an office job, 'You know you can do all the stuff in the morning,' and that hit the nail on the head. As someone with an office job, my mornings are obviously pretty leisurely. Sometimes I even have time to drink half of my coffee before it gets cold! After my 6 a.m. wake-up, I have a lot of time to loll around, hopping in the shower and then throwing makeup on my face, hoping that I'll have enough time to put my tights on before my son starts crying in his crib. Then, when he does start crying, I have to make the decision: Do I get fully dressed, or do I go tend to him with my hair still dripping wet? Talk about being spoilt for choice!
"Then I have a few Bellinis and adjust my 401(k) contributions.
"After I get home from work, I'm full of energy and ready to cook dinner using one of the recipes you post on your lifestyle Web site, Goop: slow-cooked kale, pancetta and bread crumbs, anyone? After that, I'll go to yoga, spend a few hours meditating and maybe do some online shopping, picking up a pair of $350 white leopard-printed short-shorts via Goop in preparation for the 'spring break' I'll take with my husband and son.
"If there's one thing I look good in after having a child, it's short-shorts."
"So, Gwyneth, you've figured out the secret of working parents everywhere: Livin' la vida desk job is a breeze compared to the 14-hour days of a film set. Fourteen hours? Who in New York — especially those in the finance, law and tech professions — could possibly work 14 whole hours?
"Luckily, those 9-to-5 "ordinary job" hours grow on trees here.
"And if you lose one, all you have to do is find another.
Mackenzie Dawson"
Well said, Mackenzie. Well said.

Google Gave Free Ads To A Deceptive Anti-Abortion Counseling Organisation
An anti-abortion nonprofit has raised millions of dollars to further expand its mission to target "abortion-minded women", and a public filing indicates that about $215,029 of funding has come from Google.
According to a public filing, first reported by the Guardian, Google awarded $120,000 to Catholic nonprofit Obria Group in 2015 and almost $45,873 in 2011 as part of its Google for Nonprofits program. This program "offers eligible organisations access to Google products and tools that can help nonprofits find new donors and volunteers, work more efficiently, and get supporters to take action," according to a Google support page.
"The Google Ad Grants program is open to qualified nonprofits regardless of their position on abortion and we give grants to nearly 50 thousand organisations globally that represent a wide spectrum of views and causes," a Google spokesperson told Gizmodo in an email. "All grant recipients have to abide by our ad policies, which prohibit misrepresentation in ads. If we find ads that violate our policies, we remove them."
On its website, Obria says it is a "network of full-service medical clinics," but the nonprofit doesn't provide abortion services. Instead, the company operates as a crisis pregnancy center, targeting vulnerable women with the intention of dissuading them from terminating their pregnancy.
In fact, a company slide deck boasted that it "saved" 570 babies last year and achieved "20 successful abortion reversals."
As Dr. Meera Shah recently wrote for our sister site Jezebel, "abortion reversals" are a myth.
Google joins the likes of other Catholic organisations, conservative investors, and the federal government in providing funding for the anti-abortion group. And Google's $215,029 effectively gives Obria free advertising tools to help it reach more people. In this case, pregnant women seeking information about abortions.
"Our goal is to basically say we're going to build a model of comprehensive, holistic medical clinics so that a woman [facing an unplanned pregnancy] never has to darken the door of a Planned Parenthood again," Obria founder and CEO Kathleen Eaton Bravo told The Daily Signal in March.
Aside from raising capital, Obria has also been rebranding in recent years, and Bravo has even explicitly stated that they are modelling their approach after Planned Parenthood, while actively trying to replace the reproductive health nonprofit, even though they don't provide contraception or crucial services for unplanned pregnancies.
Instead, Obria characterises its services as a "holistic" alternative. Perhaps the main rebranding effort included changing what was once called Birth Choice Health Clinics to the now Obria, a less anti-choice loaded name. "When we did focus groups, they didn't like 'Birth Choice,'" Eaton Bravo told Catholic membership organisation Legatus, detailing the company's rebrand. "They didn't know if it was pro-life or pro-choice."
It's a deceptive approach, mirroring the framework of an organisation that offers abortions to get misguided women through the door, only to try and caution them against having one. "Their core is as a 'fake' women's health center," Amy Everitt, state director of NARAL Pro-Choice California, told Politico.
Google doesn't have a great track record when it comes to providing anti-choice organisations with the tools and platforms needed to amplify their mission, and the manifestation of these strategies are oftentimes predatory and misleading information disguised as a viable resource. In this case, abortion services and/or referrals. Crisis pregnancy centres like Obria are able to utilise Google's powerful ecosystem to mislead and misinform pregnant women — these organisations have exploited both Google's Maps and search engine functions.
And during Google's annual developer conference last year, activists protested outside company headquarters, urging the tech giant to remove crisis pregnancy centres from its search results. Luckily for Obria, the nonprofit didn't have to come up with creative ways to game the system. Google simply handed the anti-abortion group the money and influence it asked for.

For most Americans, when we think of transportation, we start by thinking about cars first. That is how most of us have grown up and most Gen Y and Millennials have spent countless hours in their family's cars, traveling to and from school or extracurricular activities. Oftentimes what we grow up with has a major impact on how we perceive situations as adults. With transportation, it is no exception as most Americans still get up in the morning and drive to work every day. Yet, things are beginning to change.
In 2013, American public transit use reached its highest level in 57 years. The report, compiled by the America Public Transportation Association (APTA), noted that the 10.7 billion (yes, that's billion with a "B") trips are composed of largely mass transit options, such as buses and trains, which have made a comeback as uncertain economic times have discouraged many American's from spending the funds on a personal vehicle. Combine that with the increase in cycling in urban environs, and Americans seem to be making a conscious shift away from personal vehicles.

By now, you have probably heard about Tesla's latest defeat at the hands of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. The new legislation put in place will halt all sales of Tesla cars by April 1, meaning that those interested in getting a Tesla Model S will need to move quickly or be forced to travel to one of the neighboring states to be able to get their car. This ongoing battle between Tesla and the dealership associations of various states seems to have become more than just an isolated battle about the desires of a single manufacturer to shake up the way in which the car selling business is done. In fact, it seems to have sparked a debate about the value of dealerships to the average consumer, including the value of a dealerships service department.
The New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers (NJCAR), a dealership lobby group, is trying to promote the argument that dealerships are good for consumers and are there to protect the consumer from the evil car manufacturers who are just out to rip them off. Of course, this argument completely overlooks all of the stories that seem to pop up regularly about unscrupulous salesmen taking advantage of an unsuspecting victim. While a few bad apples should affect our impressions of all dealerships, it is hard for them to take the high road when the negotiating process for a new car results in a hugely varied range of prices based on the negotiating skill of the individual consumer. This does not even begin to get into the service side of things, where dealerships have earned the rather unflattering moniker of "stealerships" for their less than forthcoming practices.
As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So when it comes to cars, it is no surprise that different people find different design elements attractive while others may find those same design elements repulsive. And yet, there are some design elements universally considered to be attractive on their own, but once all of these elements are combined into a single vehicle, the end result may not be found attractive by any. Some of this is simply a matter of finding that balance point where too many design elements cause a vehicle to start to appear too busy while too few elements can make the vehicle feel too plain. But is there a formula out there that automakers can follow in order to find the right balance and create a vehicle that nearly all will find attractive? Is it even possible to create a vehicle that is universally seen through the same lens?
Let's dissect some of the recent trends in automotive design and see if we can determine what are desirable elements and how they factor into the overall sense of a vehicle's beauty.
In society, we have rules. Some of them are written in the form of law, others are unwritten and simply understood by all. When it comes to road use, most of the rules are well defined, whether you are behind the wheel of a car, riding atop a two-wheeled conveyance, or traversing the streets by foot. Many of the rules are intended to make it so that when our various and disparate forms of transportation meet each other out on the road, we know what to expect and how to react. Making these interactions predictable means safer roads for everyone.
So what happens when someone decides to be unpredictable? In 2009, there were 10.8 million motor vehicle accidents on our roads. That encompasses accidents between cars and just about every other possible road user imaginable. It is likely that many of those accidents were preventable had one or more of the parties involved been more predictable in their behavior. By following the laws, we allow others around us to be able to better anticipate our actions and thus operate more safely.

Quotient Launching Multimodal, Multiplex Microarray for Transfusion Diagnostics
Jul 09, 2021 | Leo O'Connor
NEW YORK ─ Microarray test developer Quotient has entered the market for transfusion diagnostic testing with a multiplex, multimodal platform and is eyeing the development of the system for additional diagnostic applications.
Though sales of the firm's manually applied Alba by Quotient reagents currently account for almost all of the Eysins, Switzerland-based company's revenues, Quotient believes its automated microarray platform, MosaiQ, will become a mainstay of its future revenue growth, said Manuel Mendez, who took over as the company's new CEO at the beginning of April.
MosaiQ is a fully automated and consolidated testing platform currently used for blood grouping and transfusion-transmitted infection screening of donated blood.
Quotient has developed it "to enhance clinical decision-making and provide considerable operating efficiencies, both in a donor-testing environment and in patient-testing contexts in the future," Mendez said in an interview.
The firm is positioning the system as an alternative to testing for blood grouping and infections transmitted by the transfusion of donated blood that is usually done manually or by single-use automated systems.
The ability of MosaiQ to perform multiplexing testing for immunohematology, serology, and molecular biomarkers using one platform means a single system could be deployed to replace several instruments in transfusion and diagnostic labs, Mendez said.
MosaiQ uses two microarray-based testing chambers that can test for up to 66 analytes or parameters per chamber. That enables laboratories to run any of its available antigen and antibody tests and will include molecular tests in the future, he said.
To fund the firm's ongoing development of the multimodal MosaiQ platform and prepare it for commercial launch, in May, Quotient announced that it was selling $95 million of its 4.75 percent convertible senior notes in a private offering.
The firm has launched MosaiQ with immunohematology and serological disease screening microarrays in European markets. Quotient obtained CE marking in 2019 for an initial immunohematology, or IH, microarray running on the MosaiQ platform for transfusion diagnostics. In 2020, it obtained CE marking for its initial serological disease screening, or SDS, microarray, which includes immunoassays for cytomegalovirus and syphilis, used for transfusion diagnostics.
The company is preparing to launch a multiplexed Expanded IH + Initial SDS microarray for the same applications in Europe by the end of this year, and it is planning a 510(k) submission to the US Food and Drug Administration for the initial SDS microarray around the same time.
Quotient said it expects to participate in 25 European tenders for placements of MosaiQ during this fiscal year and next and has commitments from 12 customers to evaluate its platform and tests. The firm has placed the initial IH microarray with nine European customers as part of a program it calls Hypercare.
Transfusion diagnostics, the company's initial focus for the adoption of MosaiQ, has a total available market worth $3.4 billion, but more lucrative markets could be in store for the firm because of the multiplexing and multimodal characteristics of its platform, according to Mendez.
"We can see a significant opportunity for this platform in both transfusion and clinical diagnostics," Mendez said. "In the clinical diagnostics area, its multiplexing capabilities and unique way of combining immunohematology, serology, and molecular testing on one platform can play a central role." The first clinical tests on the MosaiQ platform could be available within the next two years, he said.
Each of its testing modalities is a mainstay of both transfusion diagnostics and diagnostics, in general, but customers operating in both IVD segments often need to purchase three different instruments to conduct the same tests that can be conducted using one MosaiQ platform, he said.
By combining multiplexing and multiple testing modalities, Quotient's customers have the potential to save on costs through more efficient workflows, use fewer laboratory technicians for testing, and achieve space savings that would otherwise be taken up by more laboratory instruments, according to Mendez. The multimodal, multiplexing MosaiQ platform can help address lab complexity, staffing shortages, budget constraints, and the safety of the blood supply, he said. "Our internal analysis indicates that for many customers, we can provide overall operational savings of about 20 percent," he added.
In a research note last month, BTIG research analyst Sung Ji Nam said, "Quotient is on track to begin to take a meaningful share in the transplant diagnostics market over the next 18 to 24 months in Europe and the US." Longer term, the investment bank believes that the diagnostic company has the capability to address other applications in the broader IVD market, she added.
Mendez said that he believes the MosaiQ platform's multimodal, multiplexing features will play well in markets for oncology testing as well as syndromic testing for infectious diseases. He is currently evaluating areas the company might enter first for clinical diagnostics but is not disclosing specific plans.
In the diagnostics market, where testing is usually done using immunoassay or molecular testing instruments, MosaiQ could be deployed to conduct multiple types of tests simultaneously and to simplify testing workflows, he said. For example, its multiplexing capabilities could be employed to detect many disease analytes at once for syndromic testing, when clinicians find it particularly difficult to distinguish conditions based on symptoms.
"For molecular disease screening, my intent is to initially evaluate patient and clinical pathways for the potential to develop testing panels," Mendez said. "In women's health, for example, it may be possible to offer a panel that includes tests for breast cancer, cervical cancer, and ovarian cancer on the same platform."
Further, the move into the broader diagnostics space, with a market size more than elevenfold that of transfusion diagnostics, would significantly boost the firm's total addressable market, Mendez noted.
Mendez joined Quotient in April from Quest Diagnostics where he was the senior vice president and chief commercial officer. He was previously a senior vice president and head of global commercial operations at Qiagen, and held senior leadership roles with Abbott, Thermo Fisher Scientific, OraSure Technologies, and BioMérieux.
The new CEO replaced Franz Walt, who had been the firm's CEO since 2018. Earlier this month, Peter Buhler, Quotient's CFO, announced that he is resigning to take a position with another company. Mendez said Quotient expects no impact on its current or future financial and business strategies as a result of Buhler's departure.
In June, the company had announced that Michael Hausmann, senior director of global R&D in the clinical diagnostic division of Thermo Fisher Scientific will join Quotient as its CTO in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.
Quotient, traded on the Nasdaq since 2014, was established a decade ago as a spinoff from the Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service. It reported revenues of $43.4 million, up 33 percent year over year from $32.7 million, for its fiscal year 2021, which ended on March 31.
Its revenue growth was driven largely by sales of its Alba by Quotient immunohematology reagents used primarily to identify blood group antigens and antibodies in donor and patient blood and to perform daily quality assurance testing for third-party blood grouping instrument platforms.
The microarray platform and its tests have multiple levels of complexity that add to the challenge of launching them in the market, and Quotient has been accumulating the expertise and knowledge needed to develop and launch its tests for the past few years, Mendez said.
"It can be difficult to develop a single test, but we are developing panels on a glass surface within a multiplexing platform," he said. "We've accumulated the right skill set to be able to understand how these panels need to behave and how to incorporate the right level of components — whether it is the buffers, detection technology, or the carousels used to incubate reactions, for example."
The firm also has had to master the manufacturing of its microarrays using a high level of automation required to print "small dots on glass with each representing a different analyte or testing parameter," he added.
As it proceeds with commercialization plans for its first tests, the firm is also broadening its diagnostics menu and recently announced that it completed the optimization of an expanded immunohematology microarray with additional blood antigen typing tests.
Quotient is developing an expanded serological disease screening microarray, which includes immunoassays for HIV 1&2, HBV, and HCV. European and US field trials are expected to commence at the end of this year, and a CE mark submission is planned for the first fiscal quarter of 2023.
Mendez said that the company expects its molecular disease screening microarray will deliver levels of sensitivity comparable to those of the highest performing molecular tests, and in internal evaluations, the system it is developing has shown concordance with Roche Diagnostics' Cobas molecular diagnostic system.

As part of the CSP Intelligence Coordinator Programme, LEAP has been using DataHub intelligence to support their key delivery partner, the Fitness Division to better understand their local market, engage new participants and generate more income from their new purpose built facility in Fleet Marston.
As a key delivery partner of Leap, the Fitness Division needed better local insight and market understanding to support the growth of their membership in their purpose built facility in Fleet Marston in rural Aylesbury Vale.
Through the Aylesbury Vale Girls Can project, Leap have used DataHub insight to support the Fitness Division to set up and run new sessions to engage inactive women and girls in new sessions at the Fitness Division Gym, also sharing knowledge and expertise around key messages for the target audience.
Since first working with Leap the dynamics of my business and customer base has changed dramatically. Not knowing the potential of a new target audience was something that changed when we set up our first project.
Now knowing how to target inactive people who want to change is now easier from the knowledge gained and the successful programs we have run in conjunction with Leap. The success from this has not only improved our income but also taught me how to market the business and what we offer in another way.
Working with Leap on some of the projects has been brilliant and has pushed my business into some exciting positions for the future. I look forward to future projects with Leap.


I saw you on the Facebook group, Susanna! It was because of Julie and the Facebook group I discovered your Christmas contest.
Oh my goodness Jo, congratulations on your baby coming! If you manage to write a picture book every month for a whole year with a newborn, I pledge right here and right now to buy your baby a book of his or her choice in January 2013!
Just the fact that you've signed up amazes and inspires me. Good luck and please be sure to let us know once your little one arrives!
Thank you, Julie! And wow, what a kind and generous offer! I'll have extra motivation now. It's going to be a busy year, with new bubs and my oldest starting school, but I'm going to endeavour to meet the challenge.
Nice post! And congrats on the new baby arriving soon. Going to be an exciting time this year all round I guess! Happy writing and nice to meet you Jo.
Hi Jo — another 12x12er here! Just signed up for your feed so I can keep tabs on how you get along, typing with one hand and cradling a newborn with the other. I have 22-month-old twin boys, am a full-time freelancer, and am launching a blog on Friday…so I'm a little concerned about writing time. I saw on FB that you've already gotten halfway through your first PB draft, so I have now adopted you as my inspiration muse…hope you don't mind, haha! Looking forward to getting to know everyone this year.
Hi Renee! Thanks for subscribing. It sounds like you'll have your hands full this year! I hope you can fit in some time to write (I know all too well how demanding active little boys can be–especially at that age). As Susanna mentioned in the comments above, children can be great inspiration for picture book ideas though. I finished up my first draft yesterday (it was too hot to do much else!). It's nice to have one written down before baby comes along. Good luck with yours! I look forward to getting to know lots of new faces, too.
Hi, Jo! I am also signed up for 12×12. Will be interesting to see how I do-I was pretty disciplined for PiBoIdMo…A new baby coming-how exciting! Congrats 🙂 Looking forward to blogging with you in 12×12.
Hi Kelly! I didn't do PiBoIdMo because I did NaNoWriMo. I'm sure you'll do well with 12 x 12. And thank you, I'm very excited about the new baby 🙂 I look forward to blogging with you, also.

'I'm sorry, but it's too late': Alabama doctor on treating unvaccinated, dying COVID patients
Updated: Jul. 21, 2021, 12:19 p.m. | Published: Jul. 21, 2021, 7:00 a.m.
Dr. Brytney Cobia is a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham.
By Dennis Pillion | dpillion@al.com
Dr. Brytney Cobia said Monday that all but one of her COVID patients in Alabama did not receive the vaccine. The vaccinated patient, she said, just needed a little oxygen and is expected to fully recover. Some of the others are dying.
"I'm admitting young healthy people to the hospital with very serious COVID infections," wrote Cobia, a hospitalist at Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham, in an emotional Facebook post Sunday. "One of the last things they do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine. I hold their hand and tell them that I'm sorry, but it's too late."
Three COVID-19 vaccines have been widely available in Alabama for months now, yet the state is last in the nation in vaccination rate, with only 33.7 percent of the population fully vaccinated. COVID-19 case numbers and hospitalizations are surging yet again due to the more contagious Delta variant of the virus and Alabama's low vaccination rate.

For the first year and a half of the pandemic, Cobia and hundreds of other Alabama physicians caring for critically ill COVID-19 patients worked themselves to the bone trying to save as many as possible.
"Back in 2020 and early 2021, when the vaccine wasn't available, it was just tragedy after tragedy after tragedy," Cobia told AL.com this week. "You know, so many people that did all the right things, and yet still came in, and were critically ill and died."
In the United States, COVID is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated, according to the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Alabama, state officials report 94% of COVID hospital patients and 96% of Alabamians who have died of COVID since April were not fully vaccinated.
"A few days later when I call time of death," continued Cobia on Facebook, "I hug their family members and I tell them the best way to honor their loved one is to go get vaccinated and encourage everyone they know to do the same."
"They cry. And they tell me they didn't know. They thought it was a hoax. They thought it was political. They thought because they had a certain blood type or a certain skin color they wouldn't get as sick. They thought it was 'just the flu'. But they were wrong. And they wish they could go back. But they can't. So they thank me and they go get the vaccine. And I go back to my office, write their death note, and say a small prayer that this loss will save more lives."
More than 11,400 Alabamians have died of COVID so far, but midway through 2021, caring for COVID patients is a different story than it was in the beginning. Cobia said it's different mentally and emotionally to care for someone who could have prevented their disease but chose not to.
"You kind of go into it thinking, 'Okay, I'm not going to feel bad for this person, because they make their own choice,'" Cobia said. "But then you actually see them, you see them face to face, and it really changes your whole perspective, because they're still just a person that thinks that they made the best decision that they could with the information that they have, and all the misinformation that's out there.
"And now all you really see is their fear and their regret. And even though I may walk into the room thinking, 'Okay, this is your fault, you did this to yourself,' when I leave the room, I just see a person that's really suffering, and that is so regretful for the choice that they made."
Cobia said that the strain wears on healthcare workers after the trauma of 2020 and 2021.
"It's really hard because all of us physicians and other medical staff, we've been doing this for a long time and all of us are very, at this point, tired and emotionally drained and cynical," she said.
Cobia said the current wave of Delta patients reminds her of the time in October and November of 2020, just before Alabama's peak of coronavirus cases and deaths.
"What we saw in December 2020, and January 2021, that was the absolute peak, the height of the pandemic, where I was signing 10 death certificates a day," she said. "Now, it's certainly not like that, but it's very reminiscent of probably October, November of 2020, where we know there's a lot of big things coming up."
Cobia worries that the upcoming school year will lead to a similar surge.
"All these kids are about to go back to school. No mask mandates are in place at all, 70% of Alabama is unvaccinated. Of course, no kids are vaccinated for the most part because they can't be," Cobia said. "So it feels like impending doom, basically."
Drs. Miles and Brytney Cobia with children Carter and Claire.
Cobia also had a personal experience with the virus, contracting it in July while 27 weeks pregnant with her second child. Her symptoms were mild and the child, Carter, was delivered early out of caution but suffered no serious complications.
Her husband, Miles, is also a physician, and the couple says they were both extremely cautious about wearing protective equipment but one of them still caught the virus and gave it to the other, as well as other family members.
"We still went to work but we masked 100% of the time," Cobia said. "We didn't go anywhere or do anything, we ordered through Shipt for all of our groceries, we did nothing at the time."
Cobia said she delivered in September without incident and got the vaccine herself in December when it was made available to healthcare workers.
"I did not hesitate to get it," she said. "There was a lot unknown at that time, because I was still breastfeeding about whether that was safe or not. I talked to as many other physician colleagues as I could and spoke with my OB as far as data that she had available and decided to continue breastfeeding after vaccination."

For people who are hesitant to receive the vaccine, Cobia recommends speaking to their primary care physician about their concerns, just as she did.
"I try to be very non-judgmental when I'm getting a new COVID patient that's unvaccinated, but I really just started asking them, 'Why haven't you gotten the vaccine?' And I'll just ask it point blank, in the least judgmental way possible," she said. "And most of them, they're very honest, they give me answers. 'I talked to this person, I saw this thing on Facebook, I got this email, I saw this on the news,' you know, these are all the reasons that I didn't get vaccinated.
"And the one question that I always ask them is, did you make an appointment with your primary care doctor and ask them for their opinion on whether or not you should receive the vaccine? And so far, nobody has answered yes to that question."

The undisputed winner of the Super Bowl Ad Game was Tide. Their ad(s) created conversation, sparked memes, and has been relentlessly referenced in the days since (including people commenting that, given the clean nature of the spacesuit, SpaceX's launch of a Tesla was actually a Tide Ad).
1) It lets us in on the joke right away.
It would have been very easy for Saatchi & Saatchi New York, the agency behind the ad, to do a full commercial and only reveal at the very end that it was Tide ad. Then we'd look at it and think, "Oh, how clever" (like at the end of Sixth Sense when you find out Bruce Willis was a Tide ad).
Instead, they tell us the joke in the first 15 seconds, and then we get to see it played out eight more times in the next 45 seconds (and in subsequent 15-second spots). Now instead of thinking, "How clever" we're just enjoying the ride and laughing along the way.
2) It has one premise, multiple punchlines.
Building off the first point, by having a strong, clear premise, we immediately understand what's going on. Then, rather than just moving on to something else, we see multiple punchlines on the same premise (called tags in comedy). This allows you to drastically increase your LPMs (laughs per minute, a real thing) in a short amount of time.
3) It combines multiple humor tools together.
Association. The entire ad is a series of associations: a laundry commercial mixed with commercials for: a car, beer, fragrance, whatever the farm is referencing, insurance, diamonds, soda, mattress, razor, fitness, smart device, and laundry.
Observation. The ad doesn't just reference cliche commercial formats, it uses heightened forms of them as commentary (everyone laughing in a beer commercial, whispering "whatever" for the fragrance riff).
Visual. The ad heightens the humor with exaggerated visuals in each commercial parody, like Harbour's hair in the fragrance section and the mechanic's oily face and crisp white shirt in the insurance part.
Audio. Harbour's voice acting is spot on but so are the background sound effects and the slightly eery music at the end (is every ad a Tide ad?).
Pattern. Perhaps the strongest element of the ad is the pattern that it creates: start a cliche commercial, end with, "nope it's a Tide ad." It's so clear that turning into a meme (which is a form of pattern) became very easy.
And that's just the first 60-second spot, to say nothing about the subsequent ads that came after it. So yes, the Tide Ad has been getting a lot of praise, but all for good reason and is something we can all learn a little from.


Often times in Eclipse, you'll add folders for generated code to the build path, e.g. target/gen-java-src or something like this.
Since the code is generated, you typically don't check it in, which is fine, but it means on initial checkout Eclipse will complain that the folder doesn't exist yet and stop the whole build.
It turns out there is a way to mark output folders as optional, but I pull my hair out trying to find the syntax every time because, AFAICT, there is not a config option for it in their UI.

Machine learning identifies biomarkers that predict a patient's response to immunotherapy
From the Gujral Lab, Human Biology Division
September 19, 2022 • By R Lex
"Every day, new stories about cancer cures using 'immunotherapy' drugs appear online and in print. These treatments can cure even the most lethal cancers but only in a small fraction of patients," explains Dr. Taran Gujral, an Associate Professor in the Human Biology Division. Currently, "we lack approaches that could help identify patients who will respond to immunotherapy," adds Sid Vijay, a junior year computer science major at Columbia University. Vijay, who has been working with the Gujral Lab since he was in high school, applied machine learning to "develop an approach to accurately identify patients who will benefit from immunotherapy." This study, co-authored by Vijay and Yuqi Kang of the Gujral Lab, was recently published iScience.
When the immune system attacks foreign invaders or potential threats, like viruses and cancers, it relies on a system of checkpoints to stop it from attacking normal, healthy cells. Many cancers are able to hide from the immune system by expressing proteins that disrupt these immune checkpoints. Recently, drugs that inhibit immune checkpoints have been developed that allow the immune system to now go after cancers that were previously in hiding. While a handful of these drugs were recently approved to treat specific cancers, it is difficult to identify individual patients with those cancers who will benefit from immune checkpoint targeted therapy. To address this challenge, Kang and Vijay sought to develop a computational program that could analyze patient gene expression data and identify critical genes that would accurately predict tumor susceptibility to immunotherapy. The program they developed, DeepGeneX, utilizes deep neural networks to use "molecular data from patients' tumors to predict their drug response and clinical outcomes such as disease onset, severity, survival [or] disease reoccurrence," Vijay states. These computational networks are "similar to neuron networks in our brain" as they "can capture complex, non-linear relationships in underlying data to estimate a predicted outcome. This neural network is the core component behind DeepGeneX," he adds. In contrast to the black-box models of many deep neural networks, DeepGeneX possess a unique feature that sets it apart- an explainable algorithm. Here, this explainable algorithm is used to "extract the importance of genes in contributing to a clinical measurement" enabling "both the accuracy in prediction and the biological insights of how the model is working."
To build and test their immunotherapy predictive program, the Gujral team utilized datasets from a recently published study on melanoma patients who received immunotherapy treatment. This study included single-cell gene expression datasets from 19 melanoma patients with varying responses to immunotherapy- classified by their responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. The researchers began by using data from 18 patients to train their model and predict the remaining patient's response to immunotherapy repeatedly for each patient, building an optimized model that could identify which genes could be used to indicate whether a patient's cancer would respond to immunotherapy or not. Each gene was assigned a "gene importance score" which estimated the importance of a gene in contributing to whether a patient was responsive to immunotherapy treatment. After obtaining a rank ordered gene list, the authors took the top 1,000 genes and iteratively removed predicted 'unimportant' genes to narrow it down to just six genes (CCR7, SELL, GZMB, WARS, GZMH, and LGALS1). These six genes were used to build the final deep neural network model, DeepGeneX. All six genes were differentially expressed between immunotherapy "responders" and "non-responders". Specifically, the research team identified two genes, SELL and CCR7 that were expressed at significantly higher levels in responders, while the other four genes were expressed at lower levels. Additionally, two genes with low expression in responders, LGALS1 and WARS were found highly expressed in a macrophage population of non-responders, suggesting that these macrophages could be a potential target for improving response to immune checkpoint therapies.
Overview of DeepGeneX- a neural network that utilizes molecular data and patient response outcomes to identify biomarkers predictive of how a patient will respond to immune checkpoint therapy. Image taken from original article.
To determine whether DeepGeneX-identified marker genes could predict a patient's response to immunotherapy in other cancers, the authors compared the differential expression between responders and non-responders using single-cell gene expression data from basal cell carcinoma patients. They found that differential expression of four of the six genes (CCR7, SELL-responder high; WARS, LGALS1- non-responder high) in these datasets corresponded with the predicted treatment outcome, demonstrating the feasibility of applying their model to other datasets. The researchers then extended their model outside of skin cancer patients and assessed whether the expression pattern of the DeepGeneX biomarkers could predict patients' overall survival across seventeen cancer types using the bulk gene expression and clinical data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Patients with favorable expression of marker genes showed significantly better survival rates compared with those with unfavorable gene expression, supporting that their DeepGeneX-identified marker genes are applicable to a range of cancer types in addition to single-cell or bulk gene expression datasets.
Vijay explains that "there is a growing appreciation for the value of machine learning approaches in biomarker discovery, and yet predicting molecular determinants of clinical response remains difficult. DeepGeneX addresses a major bottleneck in the biomarker discovery process. We developed a non-linear, multilayer neural network to more accurately model patient tumor sequencing data to predict biomarkers of response to immunotherapy." Furthermore, "DeepGeneX technology provides a broadly applicable approach to predicting clinical response to therapy and to identify novel biomarkers/gene signatures that underlie the response. With Next gen-sequencing data being collected often in hospitals today and in clinical trials, the DeepGeneX platform could allow oncologists to perform an in silico biomarker test by uploading patients' molecular data and receiving clinical predictions on their patients," the authors explained. Additionally, utilizing biomarkers to select appropriate patients to enroll in a clinical trial may improve the success of the tested treatment and FDA approval, an important factor for insurance coverage of treatment. However, only a small fraction of clinical trials actually utilize biomarkers to select participants, likely due to the limited number of biomarkers that have currently been identified and validated. Vijay states that "identifying biomarkers represents a tremendous clinical utility, but the lack of technology to identify biomarkers is apparent: this is where DeepGeneX comes in."
Beyond this study, the Gujral team is working to apply DeepGeneX to other disease contexts including Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Meningioma. For Alzheimer's, "we are looking to create an early diagnosis test driven by DeepGeneX that can predict AD using RNA-sequencing data – like a digital biomarker test." Excitingly, preliminary results from profiling molecular data from over 2,000 patients shows that DeepGeneX "could predict the onset of AD with high accuracy." In addition, the Gujral researchers are applying DeepGeneX to one of the largest clinical Meningioma datasets of over 1,000 patients." Meningiomas are "the most common primary intracranial tumor, representing 39% of all primary brain tumors," with a high percentage of recurrence after radiation and surgery. The Gujral team explains that a "major roadblock in meningioma treatment is identifying patients who will recur or progress post-treatment and identifying experimental therapies for these patients. We hope that DeepGeneX can fill this gap and help in identifying gene signatures/biomarkers for tumor recurrence and aid in identifying potential therapies. Overall, DeepGeneX is a broad platform that can be applied to build predictive models from any large-scale biological dataset."

A customer awareness campaign urging Londoners to cash-in unused Oyster cards has been welcomed by Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly.
Figures obtained by the party earlier this year revealed that more than £170 million of passengers' money is sitting on dormant cards.
At the time party spokesperson Caroline Pidgeon urged transport bosses to be more proactive in encouraging Londoners and visitors to the city to surrender their cards and reclaim their cash.
In recent weeks Transport for London has run a poster campaign on the Tube and bus networks and used social media to publicise how passengers can get a refund.
The organisation is now set to email those customers whose Oyster card has been dormant for more than 3 months in a bid to return more of the unused money.
Commenting on the campaign, Ms Pidgeon said: "I have long been arguing that TfL should be more active in telling people how they can claim back the credit and deposits on unused Oyster cards.


A pre-crash system (10) has a controller (12) coupled to an object sensor (18). Object sensor (18) has a vision system (22) that includes image sensors to detect an impact and in particular, a side impact. The image sensors provide a high frame rate to a video-processing chip (32) which in turn is coupled to a general purpose controller (34). The general-purpose controller 34 determines whether an object is an impending threat and controls the deployment of an airbag through an airbag controller (36) or other counter-measure. The high frame rate used in the present invention allows not only the distance to the object but the velocity of the object as well as the acceleration of the object to be determined and factored into the deployment decision.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method for operating the pre-crash sensing system according to the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a pre-crash system  10 has a controller 12. Controller 12 is preferably a microprocessor-based controller that is coupled to a memory 14 and a timer 16. Memory 14 and timer 16 are illustrated as separate components from that of controller 12. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that memory 14 and timer 16 may be incorporated into controller 12.
Memory  14 may comprise various types of memory including read only memory, random access memory, electrically erasable programmable read only memory, and keep alive memory. Memory 14 is used to store various thresholds and parameters as will be further described below.
Timer  16 is a timer such as a clock timer of a central processing unit within controller 12. Timer 16 is capable of timing the duration of various events as well as counting up or counting down from a trigger.
An object sensor  18 is coupled to controller 12. Object sensor 18 generates an object signal in the presence of an object within the line of sight thereof. Object sensor 18 may be comprised of one or a number of types of sensors including a vision system 22 and an optional radar sensor 24. Vision system 22 may be comprised of one or more cameras or CCD type devices. As illustrated, vision system 22 includes a front image device 26 and a right side image device 28, a left side image device 30. Each image device is preferably a digital camera having a frame rate of at least 100 frames per second. More preferably, the frame rate may be about 400 or more. Each front image device, and the side image devices 28, 30 may actually be comprised of a stereo pair of cameras that when acting together are capable of detecting the distance of an object from the vehicle.
Radar  24 is capable of sensing the presence and the distance of an object from the vehicle. When used as a stereo pair, the cameras are also capable of detecting the distance of an object from the vehicle.
Controller  12 has a video-processing chip 32 for digitally processing the image signals from the vision system having a general-purpose computer 34 coupled thereto. The video-processing chip 32 may, for example, generate an object distance, object velocity and object acceleration signals as will be further described below from the images and the known frame rate. Based on the signals, general-purpose computer determines whether to deploy a countermeasure such as an airbag or the like. As will be further described below, radar 24 may be used to detect an object within a detection zone which in turn may trigger the vision system 26 to provide images. The image sensors may use a well-known triangulation technique to determine the presence of an object and the distance from the vehicle as well as various properties of the object such as which may include area, height or width, or combinations thereof.
Controller  12 is coupled to a counter-measure system such as an airbag controller 36 coupled to an airbag 38. Controller 12 may control the deployment of airbag 38 through pre-crash sensing. Airbag controller 36 may also be coupled to a microaccelerometer or plurality of microaccelerometers 40. Thus, airbag controller 36 may factor the airbag deployment signal from controller 12 and the signals from microaccelerometer 40 into a deployment decision. Microaccelerometer 40 may for example, include lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration.
Referring now to FIG. 2, an automotive vehicle  42 having system 10 is illustrated.
Automotive vehicle  42 is positioned on a road 44 relative to a target vehicle 46. Pre-crash sensing system 10 generates a right side beam 48, a first front beam 50, a second front beam 52, and a left side beam 54. As is shown in the figure, the target vehicle may be entirely within one beam or partially within two beams. In FIG. 2, beams 52 and 54 contain a portion of target vehicle 46. Video processing chip 32 of controller 12 may compensate for the moving vehicle, i.e., track the target in a known manner.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a method for operating a pre-crash sensing system according to the present invention is shown. In the present invention an object is detected in one of the various manners set forth above. For example, an object may be detected by radar which then triggers an image processing system. Imagine processing system may also detect an object in step  60. Once an object has been detected frame images are captured at a predetermined frame rate. Preferably, the predetermined frame rate is such to allow a sufficient amount of time for deployment of a counter-measure such as a side impact airbag. As the frame rates are captured, the object distance can be determined from comparing the frames in step 64.
In step  66, the object velocity may be determined by comparing the movement of the object from succeeding frames. In step 68, by obtaining velocity information in step 66 the acceleration between frames can be determined. The acceleration is the change in velocity. Therefore, if two velocities are obtained from consecutive sets of frames in step 66, the acceleration can be determined. In step 70, the measured parameters such as acceleration and velocity are monitored to determine whether a crash is imminent. If a crash is not imminent, then step 62 is again executed. If a crash is imminent then step 72 is executed. In step 72, deployment of a counter-measure is performed. The deployment of a counter-measure as mentioned above may be a side airbag, a frontal driver side airbag, frontal passenger side airbag, or passenger side airbag. Of course, other types of airbags such as side curtains may be employed. Other types of counter-measures may also be employed including changing the direction of the vehicle through steering control, or application of the brake through a brake controller. Advantageously, the increased frame rate of the present invention allows the determination of velocity and acceleration of the system as well as verifying that the velocities and accelerations are within a range of an oncoming object that poses a threat rather than a non-threat such as a garbage bag or balloon which is blown by the wind. Other counter-measure devices that may be employed in addition to or in place of airbags include head restraints, pedal control, steering column position control, pedestrian protection, knee bolster control, and seat belt pretensioning control.

Thinking of renovating your home or office, but worried about the cost of interior design and decoration? Do you think you can't afford to spend a lot on home decor, but want a stylish bedroom makeover? You don't have to be upset that you don't have too much money to spend on decorating because you can do a fabulous job of decorating your home without spending a lot of money, if you do it wisely.
Low or high, you should always have a clear budget plan for your work, rather than saying 'I want the interior of the room to be done on the cheap you better have an idea of how much you are willing to spend' . Arriving at the correct value may not be possible, but giving a near-accurate estimate will always help. Divide your budget into different tasks like, $100 for new furniture, $50 for paint, etc. rather than quote the total amount. But remember that your budget plan should be realistic and should be strictly followed for successful interior design at low cost.
Be the interior designer yourself
Hiring a company or specialist to do the makeover can give you a truly remarkable room or office, but remember that the more established they are, the more you will end up paying them for the service alone. So it's best to use your imagination and figure out how much you're going to spend and what should be changed or introduced. You can check articles in magazines or on the internet for lots of ideas on how to get the job done cheaply.
Buy low and wide
You plan to decorate the interiors of the room, so you have to shop all day. Do you know that most of the products you buy at the brand store can be available at an incredibly discounted price at local stores and auction houses? So take your time to hunt through thrift stores, the bargain market, and any store with a year-end sale or store renovation sign. You are going to find something awesome at an incredible price. But just getting the thing cheap shouldn't tempt you to buy it; you should only buy the things you came to buy. Otherwise, the low-cost shopping experience will become divisive.
Put your items up for auction
If you are renovating the place, you may need to remove furniture, curtains, and lots of junk that you may no longer need. Rather than moving them to the supply, you can sell them for a low price to tip your budget; you can either auction it off or sell it to a thrift store. Remember that your things might not be worth much, but removing them will help you declutter the room and at the same time get a small boost to your budget. But if you've been doing interior design and decorating since the beginning, don't worry about not having anything to sell; you can have the opportunity to choose very wisely and redesign the room without wasting time.
Reuse your stuff
You can use many things at your fingertips in original and creative ways to make home decorating a fun and creative experience. You can create a cushion cover from your old curtain by sewing the pieces together, but when choosing the fabric, be sure that it gives a striking effect to the otherwise dull piece or combines with the atmosphere of it. You can also use an old piece of furniture and polish it to make it a centerpiece of the room. Your grandma's dresser drawer can be the main attraction in your living room if you space it out and take care to project it.
Decorative items and wall painting can be of all kinds and sometimes it can cost you a fortune. But it's not just expensive decorative pieces and antique collections that can make your interior look great. You can use a family portrait or a painting your little one has done to give the walls a new look. These paintings and photos are not just free, they are worthless and a good frame will do. Likewise, you can also use decorative candles and gifts in creative ways to change the face of your room.
An extra coat of paint
An extra coat of paint can always give a room a facelift. Interior decoration is never complete without a well-painted wall. Choose the same shade of paint as the previous one, because achieving a new shade will require more coats of paint and, therefore, it will increase the cost of painting. But you can create a contrasting shade on just one wall if you're bored with the "same old paint", it not only gives the room a new face, but also saves some paint.
Whether in the kitchen, bedroom, study or office; keep the room as simple as possible. Reduce the number of extra furniture and sofas to make your room look neat, organized, spacious and new. Your rooms and office should also have a touch of your personality, so work on it.
Try it and enjoy being the interior decorator.

Moroccans Vent Anger at Trump's Decision on Jerusalem
North Africa PostDecember 10, 2017 4:00 pm
Thousands of Moroccan protesters took to the streets in downtown Rabat Sunday to protest United States President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The protesters, including members of trade unions, political parties and civil society organizations, waved Palestinian flags and carried banners with slogans saying "Jerusalem, capital of Palestine!"
Members of the Moroccan cabinet and several political figures participated in the protest demonstration.
On the eve of the popular protest, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita reiterated Morocco's firm and unwavering support to the Palestinians' legitimate rights during an emergency meeting of the Arab League Foreign Ministers. He stressed that "pragmatic actions" need to be taken against the US, following its decision on Al Quds.
The Arab League meeting called on Trump to rescind the decision, which carries the risk of engulfing the region in a new bloody conflict.
King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al Quds Committee, has expressed "deep concern" regarding Trump's decision. In a letter to the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, the King said that altering the status of Al Quds is an "Infringement of the internationally recognized legal and historical status of Jerusalem". He added that this "runs the risk of hurling the issue into the quagmire of religious and ideological conflict."
Trump's reckless decision has sparked protests across the Muslim world, with the largest being staged in Lebanon, Jordan, Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia and Pakistan.
The UN Security Council also held an emergency meeting on Friday and all its members widely condemned Trump's unilateral move, which sparked deadly protests in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank immediately after it was announced last Wednesday.
