Pulitzer Center Update
Pierre Kattar, Sim Chi Yin Win White House News Photographers Association Awards
February 19, 2016 | Project news, Awards

Grantee Pierre Kattar won first place in the news category for the The White House News Photographers Association's 2016 Eyes of History: Multimedia Contest. Image by Pierre Kattar. Nepal, 2015.
Pulitzer Center grantees Pierre Kattar and Sim Chi Yin both received top awards in The White House News Photographers Association's 2016 Eyes of History: Multimedia Contest.
Kattar's film "After Nepal Quakes, Worries in the Water" for The New York Times received first place in the competition's news story category, topping three other stories from The New York Times, National Geographic and The Washington Post. The multimedia piece, which was part of Kattar's larger Pulitzer Center-supported project with journalist Rajneesh Bhandari, revealed a Nepalese fear that viral infections would spread through water among the thousands of civilians displaced from the April 2015 earthquake.
Kattar is an Emmy-awarding video journalist and documentary filmmaker who developed his observational style of filmmaking during his 10 years at The Washington Post.
Chi Yin's "Dying to Breathe" film won third place in the contest's documentary category competing alongside projects from The New York Times, National Geographic and The Washington Post. Her National Geographic film, edited by Coburn Dukehart, revealed China's true cost of gold. It explored China's mining culture and the dangers surrounding the profession. Chi Yin learned that China's deadly mining accidents may receive worldwide attention, but the country's top occupational disease, pneumoconiosis, kills three times as many miners each year. Her film was a portrait of former gold miners, scathed by the disease, waiting for death.
Chi Yin was also a finalist in the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for a previous project on Chinese gold miners in 2013. She was on the British Journal of Photography's Ones to Watch list of photographers in 2014 and was among the Photo District News' top 30 emerging photographers in 2013.

I was awakened early this morning. It was 4:34. Perhaps a bad dream. The song "Crying" by Roy Orbison was ear worming in my brain.
The most intimate moments in my life occurred when I gave birth to each of my three children.
For each of the times, my child and I shared something together that would be like no other time in our lives.
Although, at the moment of their first breath of life, we may have physically separated, the tightly wound knot that bound us together during the months before, left a deep and everlasting imprint in my heart and soul.
I have had many joyous moments in my life. But none as heady and breathtaking as giving birth and holding my baby for the first time. Each time, I was so full of happiness that I cried.
Today, in the early pre dawn of this very day, I am immersed in a memory of the birth of my son, Joe. I close my eyes and vividly recall the experience. I feel the weight of him cradled in my arms. I am filled with joy and wonderment as I look down at his tiny face. I feel his softness as I trace his baby skin with my fingertips. He seeks nourishment from me as his little mouth opens and closes.
Me and my Joe, just the two of us, sharing the most intimately tender moment of our lives.
I want to stay here in the moment of that memory. It's gauzy and dreamy and delicious.
Forty-two years ago on this day, Joe and I shared one of the most intimate moments of our lives, like no other.
Today, I am so filled with sadness that I cried.
I recently watched a two hour PBS* Masterpiece drama film called "To Walk Invisible". The film takes place during a three year period of the famous Bronte family's life.
As the piece unfolded, I became intrigued by these three sisters. I gained insight into where, why and how the stories and characters of their novels evolved.
I thought it was so interesting that their imaginations were able to expand far beyond their small isolated world.
By the end of the film, I began to wonder how it was that not only did each of the sisters share a passionate love of writing, but how extraordinary it was that individually each sister was able to produce literary masterpieces of their own.
That made me think of my own interest in writing. Comparatively speaking, it is far from passionate.
I would consider it to be more of an outlet for emotional expression than a passion. And since I am not always in an extreme emotional state, writing for me is not all consuming.
I can't help but wonder, though, if my interest might have developed into a passion if it had been nurtured in the same way that the Bronte's was nurtured.
Eeven though I was inspired by my high school English teacher Clarence Jolly Jr. to think that I might be able to pursue writing in some professional way, my parents more practical idea of secretarial work and marriage were apparently the more influential.
I have to say my blog has renewed my interest in writing and at times I might even admit to passion.
By the way, I highly recommend "To Walk Invisible". It was well done.

Alice stood motionless at the now bare window. Puzzled, she wondered why the curtains were not on the window. That's right, she remembered now. It was spring cleaning time. She always hand washed her kitchen curtains. They must be soaking in the tub, she thought.
She remembered how she had walked up and down aisles of bolts of cotton and linen, stopping now and then to pull one out. She must have walked around the fabric store for thirty minutes. She covered her mouth and giggled.
David Sr. would always correct her whenever she would tell the story of the curtains.
She knew exactly what she had been looking for, though. Crisp white linen with bunches of cherries all over.
"I'll take seven yards, please," she told the lady behind the cutting table.
Hypnotized by the back and forth movement of the rusty blue bird feeder as it moved in time with the light breeze of new spring, she quietly watched, hoping for a glimpse of twittering red feathers hoping between the tree branches. Her mouth curled into a weak smile as she recalled the rush of excitement she would feel whenever she was lucky enough to spot the cardinal among the brooding fingers of mossy green pine needles.
Startled, Alice turned towards the voice which had broken her out of her reverie.
"Do you remember where I put the bird seed?" she asked.
Sadly, David shook his head and gently put his arm around his mothers frail shoulders, leading her towards the door.

We are a worker-owned agency that designs, builds and supports websites for purpose-driven organisations.
We believe in making things better, together.
We're a tight team of digital strategists, designers, developers and project managers based in the UK and Italy.
We work with organisations that value environmental sustainability, social responsibility, equality and human rights, and share our vision of a better world for everyone. We are a company with a conscience.
We're agile, reliable and responsive. We love open source software, and we're a worker co-op because we believe that's a fairer way to do business. We take our work seriously and deliver great results, but we know how to have fun too.
Every project is different, but the building blocks remain the same: with a shared understanding of your strategic objectives and user needs, together we can create something special.
We're a different kind of digital agency
We are a worker co-op
Agile Collective is a little different from most digital agencies you'll come across. We're a worker co-operative, which means the business is owned and run by the people you'll be working with, each of whom is personally invested in the success of our company and your project.
This is an increasingly popular operating model in the tech industry and, as founder members of CoTech, we're helping to make that happen.
We are ethical
We want our work to have a big, positive impact on the world, so we seek out clients that share our vision and values. There's nothing better than working with like-minded people to deliver meaningful, tangible change. Our independence means that, for us, this is our primary consideration rather than a nice-to-have.
Over the years the vast majority of our clients have been non-profits – whether charities, NGOs, educational institutions or public sector organisations – but we're also comfortable working with commercial organisations whose mission is demonstrably good.
We're not going to lecture you on plastic straws and your choice of non-dairy 'milk', but you will have peace of mind that you're working with a team whose commitment to a better world is non-negotiable.
We are Drupal specialists
Right from the start our core technology has been the leading open source CMS, Drupal, with some of the team's experience dating back to the mid-2000s. With a worldwide developer community that continues to thrive, a robust and performant technical architecture, and significant improvements to editor experience and interoperability, we are confident that Drupal 8 remains an excellent choice for clients requiring a flexible, scalable and secure CMS.
Whether we're delivering a major new Drupal project or supporting your Drupal site for the long term, you'll be working with a team that knows Drupal inside out.
We are agile
Yes, we typically deliver our project work in 2-week sprints, and speak fluent Scrum, Kanban and DSDM, but agile is more than a methodology; it's a mindset. We are radically transparent in our communications, and work in close collaboration with our clients to really get to grips with what they're trying to achieve and for whom.
This informs our approach to capturing, prioritising and delivering the requirements that achieve those goals within constraints of time and budget, while remaining flexible enough to adapt to evolving needs.
We know we couldn't have got this far without the support of some amazing communities, and it's only right that we make valuable contributions back to the commons. We do this with open source code, of course, but that alone is not enough.
We organise local Drupal meet-ups, sponsor Drupal conferences, serve on the Worker Co-op Council, support apprenticeships (offering those apprentices meaningful employment on completion), take our skills and knowledge into local schools, and provide work experience for students.
We're always up for doing more. If there's anything you think we could help with, just ask.

This chapter discusses the different ways textual criticism and reception history are interrelated. Textual criticism is not simply the prerequisite to the task of interpretation but can help to illuminate the compositional growth, transmission, and early interpretation of biblical texts.
Risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers following an identified nosocomial COVID-19 exposure during waves 1–3 of the pandemic in Ireland

Healthcare workers (HCWs) have increased exposure and subsequent risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This case-control study was conducted to investigate the contemporaneous risks associated with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection amongst HCWs following in-work exposure to a confirmed coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) case. We assessed the influence of demographic (age, sex, nationality, high risk co-morbidities and vaccination status) and work-related factors (job role, exposure location, contact type, personal protective equipment (PPE) use) on infection risk following nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 exposure. All contact tracing records within the hospital site during waves 1–3 of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland were screened to identify exposure events, cases and controls. In total, 285 cases and 1526 controls were enrolled, as a result of 1811 in-work exposure events with 745 index cases. We demonstrate that male sex, Eastern European nationality, exposure location, PPE use and vaccination status all impact the likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection following nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 exposure. The findings draw attention to the need for continuing emphasis on PPE use and its persisting benefit in the era of COVID-19 vaccinations. We suggest that non-work-related factors may influence infection risk seen in certain ethnic groups and that infection risk in high-risk HCW roles (e.g. nursing) may be the result of repeated exposures rather than risks inherent to a single event.

This chapter explores how writing affected the nature of custom itself. The writing of custom did not fix or petrify custom and end its malleability or creativity, as scholars have assumed. Drawing on the work of literary scholars on the nature of medieval vernacular text and manuscript culture, I argue instead that each manuscript provided one authoritative version of custom and constituted one voice in a conversation over custom that continued with written text. This conversation can be seen where differences between manuscripts show diverging opinions about proper custom. This, in turn, meant that custom remained creative and dynamic even in written form. The purpose of the coutumiers was not to copy practised custom and faithfully record it with perfect accuracy in text. Rather, the coutumiers were meant to change the patterns of thought of 'those who would hear or read the text' and show them how to think in a legal manner, like a lawyer, judge, or sophisticated litigant. Teaching modes of thought rather than rules permitted those who did not spend years in university to understand the framework and rhetoric of lay courts, and enabled them to navigate these through changing rules, time, and circumstance.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this book offers novel perspectives on the history of medical writing and scientific thought-styles by examining patterns of change and reception in genres, discourse, and lexis in the period 1500-1820. Each chapter demonstrates in detail how changing textual forms were closely tied to major multi-faceted social developments: industrialisation, urbanisation, expanding trade, colonialization, and changes in communication, all of which posed new demands on medical care. It then shows how these developments were reflected in a range of medical discourses, such as bills of mortality, medical advertisements, medical recipes, and medical rhetoric, and provides an extensive body of case studies to highlight how varieties of medical discourse have been targeted at different audiences over time. It draws on a wide range of methodological frameworks and is accompanied by numerous relevant illustrations, making it essential reading for academic researchers and students across the human sciences.
Household transmission of the Delta COVID-19 variant in Queensland, Australia: a case series

Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 October 2022, e173
Household transmission plays a key role in the spread of COVID-19 through populations. In this paper, we report on the transmission of COVID-19 within households in a metropolitan area in Australia, examine the impact of various factors and highlight priority areas for future public health responses. We collected and reviewed retrospective case report data and follow-up interview responses from households with a positive case of the Delta COVID-19 variant in Queensland in 2021. The overall secondary attack rate (SAR) among household contacts was 29.6% and the mean incubation period for secondary cases was 4.3 days. SAR was higher where the index case was male (57.9% vs. 14.3%) or aged ≤12 years (38.7% vs. 17.4%) but similar for adult contacts that were double vaccinated (35.7%) and unvaccinated (33.3%). Most interview participants emphasised the importance of clear, consistent and compassionate health advice as a key priority for managing outbreaks in the home. The overall rate of household transmission was slightly higher than that reported in previous studies on the wild COVID-19 variant and secondary infections developed more rapidly. While vaccination did not appear to affect the risk of transmission to adult subjects, uptake in the sample was ultimately high.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) asymptomatic cases are hard to identify, impeding transmissibility estimation. The value of COVID-19 transmissibility is worth further elucidation for key assumptions in further modelling studies. Through a population-based surveillance network, we collected data on 1342 confirmed cases with a 90-days follow-up for all asymptomatic cases. An age-stratified compartmental model containing contact information was built to estimate the transmissibility of symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases. The difference in transmissibility of a symptomatic and asymptomatic case depended on age and was most distinct for the middle-age groups. The asymptomatic cases had a 66.7% lower transmissibility rate than symptomatic cases, and 74.1% (95% CI 65.9–80.7) of all asymptomatic cases were missed in detection. The average proportion of asymptomatic cases was 28.2% (95% CI 23.0–34.6). Simulation demonstrated that the burden of asymptomatic transmission increased as the epidemic continued and could potentially dominate total transmission. The transmissibility of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases is high and asymptomatic COVID-19 cases play a significant role in outbreaks.

Chapter 9 discusses the relationship between transmission, diffusion and orthography. While diffusion can be seen as a more dominant driver of orthographic change, changes induced by transmission are also possible in some historical scenarios, for example through formal instruction or via closely knit social networks. Drawing on a number of examples from previous studies, the chapter also engages with supralocalisation, intended as an antecedent to standardisation, as local and regional orthographic conventions in the pre-standardisation era give way to more supraregional writing traditions. Thus, instances of geographical diffusion across communities frequently provide essential groundwork for later standardisation initiatives. The chapter ends with a reference to the importance of including pluricentricity in our understanding of standardisation. It is by studying regional writing traditions that one can trace the formation of a standard not as an exclusive national form, but rather as a pluricentric scenario. In the development of many European pluricentric orthographies, not least German and French, some writing traditions eventually became part of the overall profile of the regional influence through diffusion, while still not becoming a uniform fixed set of shibboleths for the whole geographical area.

As an important application of the theory of elasticity in soil mechanics, the main principles of elastodynamics are introduced. On the basis of waves in 1D-continua the notions of transmission, reflexion and dynamic stiffness are explained, and the body waves are presented as compression and shear waves. Rayleigh waves are presented as an example of surface waves.
The Poet Nemesianus and the Historia Augusta

Lurking in the Historia Augusta's life of the short-lived Emperor Carus is what appears to be a reference to the genuine contemporary poet Nemesianus and an extant work by him, the Cynegetica. Given the HA's predilection for 'bogus authors', this is rather surprising, but because some of what the HA says about Nemesianus is true, the otherwise unique details of his life and works that it provides have been generally accepted. We show first that the reference to the Cynegetica is an incorporated gloss in the text of the HA, one that reveals that the text was being read and studied in northern Francia. We then demonstrate that the name 'Olympius', which the HA gives to Nemesianus, is not authentic, offering an analysis of the text's onomastic habits more generally. We show that 'Olympius Nemesianus' is one of several invented authors in the HA, lent a superficial plausibility by borrowing the name of a real ancient writer. Finally, we reflect on the way that these conclusions might undermine two developing tendencies in the study of the Historia Augusta.

Contemporary technologies for offshore electricity generation and transmission enable sea uses of types and at scales that could not have been envisaged when the text of UNCLOS was agreed. The chapter considers whether UNCLOS is able to accommodate the offshore renewables revolution. It focuses on offshore wind energy, which is likely to see massive growth during the next three decades as the world decarbonizes. The review finds that UNCLOS does not always make adequate legal provision for them. Support will be needed from national laws, interstate agreements, and resolutions and guidelines of international organizations such as the International Maritime Organization to fill gaps in the law, clarify uncertainties and to meet challenges posed by offshore wind's growth. Further regulation by states of offshore wind will also be needed to address the environmental effects of relevant development in line with duties for marine environmental protection, and to answer difficult legal questions raised by the pursuit of development that may itself cause significant environmental harm to address the environmental threats posed by climate change.

In daycare centres, the close contact of children with other children and employees favours the transmission of infections. The majority of children <6 years attend daycare programmes in Germany, but the role of daycare centres in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is unclear. We investigated the transmission risk in daycare centres and the spread of SARS-CoV-2 to associated households. 30 daycare groups with at least one recent laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 case were enrolled in the study (10/2020–06/2021). Close contact persons within daycare and households were examined over a 12-day period (repeated SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests, genetic sequencing of viruses, symptom diary). Households were interviewed to gain comprehensive information on each outbreak. We determined primary cases for all daycare groups. The number of secondary cases varied considerably between daycare groups. The pooled secondary attack rate (SAR) across all 30 daycare centres was 9.6%. The SAR tended to be higher when the Alpha variant was detected (15.9% vs. 5.1% with evidence of wild type). The household SAR was 53.3%. Exposed daycare children were less likely to get infected with SARS-CoV-2 than employees (7.7% vs. 15.5%). Containment measures in daycare programmes are critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 transmission, especially to avoid spread to associated households.

In addition to time and place, which are inseparable from sociolinguistic variation, language may vary according to age, social class, sex or (social) gender, ethnicity, medium, style, and register. Contact between speakers often leads to change, and different patterns result according to whether this contact involves first-language (L1) or second language (L2) acquisition. Thus, 'family tree' aspects of language change are largely accounted for by transmission (involving L1 acquisition), whilst 'wave model' changes can be explained in terms of diffusion (involving L2 acquisition). Languages with a high degree of L2 contact will tend to simplify, whilst stable bilingualism or isolation will often lead to complexification. Contact may be interlinguistic or intralinguistic, sometimes resulting in complex linguistic repertoires, with up to four different levels existing simultaneously (national standard, regional standard, interdialectal koiné, local dialect). Contact may also result in code-switching, the emergence of contact vernaculars, and 'language death'. The receptiveness of a variety to contact influence depends on the extent to which its social networks are open or closed and on the social attitudes of its speakers. Standard languages emerge through a variety of conscious and unconscious processes, and attempts may be made to give non-standard speech varieties a distinct linguistic identity through codification and the creation of literature.

Moving into the wider world of the ancient Near East, Michael Fox and Suzanna R. Millar examine Egyptian wisdom literature. They begin with an overview of extant examples from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period, and then turn to some major themes and issues. They consider Ma'at (the regulating force of truth/justice), character development (particularly as expressed through polar character types), pedagogy (including the debate about who is capable of learning), and transmission (through the generations in oral and written forms). The second half of the chapter assesses some commonly proposed examples of Egyptian influence on biblical wisdom literature, namely the influence of Amenemope on Prov 22:17–23:11 and elsewhere in Proverbs, Egyptian parallels to Proverbs 8, Egyptian parallels to Prov 23:12–24:22, an alleged precursor to Job 38–39 in Egyptian onomastica, and connections between Ben Sira and the Demotic Instruction Phibis.
Network analysis of England's single parent household COVID-19 control policy impact: a proof-of-concept study
N. L. Edelman, P. Simon, J. A. Cassell, I. Z. Kiss
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 May 2022, e104
Lockdowns have been a core infection control measure in many countries during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In England's first lockdown, children of single parent households (SPHs) were permitted to move between parental homes. By the second lockdown, SPH support bubbles between households were also permitted, enabling larger within-household networks. We investigated the combined impact of these approaches on household transmission dynamics, to inform policymaking for control and support mechanisms in a respiratory pandemic context. This network modelling study applied percolation theory to a base model of SPHs constructed using population survey estimates of SPH family size. To explore putative impact, varying estimates were applied regarding extent of bubbling and proportion of different-parentage within SPHs (DSPHs) (in which children do not share both the same parents). Results indicate that the formation of giant components (in which COVID-19 household transmission accelerates) are more contingent on DSPHs than on formation of bubbles between SPHs, and that bubbling with another SPH will accelerate giant component formation where one or both are DSPHs. Public health guidance should include supportive measures that mitigate the increased transmission risk afforded by support bubbling among DSPHs. Future network, mathematical and epidemiological studies should examine both independent and combined impact of policies.
Contrasting temperature responses in seasonal timing of cercariae shedding by Rhipidocotyle trematodes

Global warming is likely to lengthen the seasonal duration of larval release by parasites. We exposed freshwater mussel hosts, Anodonta anatina, from 2 high-latitude populations to high, intermediate and low temperatures throughout the annual cercarial shedding period of the sympatric trematodes Rhipidocotyle fennica and R. campanula, sharing the same transmission pathway. At the individual host level, under warmer conditions, the timing of the cercarial release in both parasite species shifted towards seasonally earlier period while its duration did not change. At the host population level, evidence for the lengthening of larvae shedding period with warming was found for R. fennica. R. campanula started the cercarial release seasonally clearly earlier, and at a lower temperature, than R. fennica. Furthermore, the proportion of mussels shedding cercariae increased, while day-degrees required to start the cercariae shedding decreased in high-temperature treatment in R. fennica. In R. campanula these effects were not found, suggesting that warming can benefit more R. fennica. These results do not completely support the view that climate warming would invariably increase the seasonal duration of larval shedding by parasites, but emphasizes species-specific differences in temperature-dependence and in seasonality of cercarial release.

We investigated risk factors associated with COVID-19 by conducting a retrospective, frequency-matched case-control study, with three sampling periods (August–October 2020). We compared cases completing routine contact tracing to asymptomatic population controls. Multivariable analyses estimated adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for non-household community settings. Meta-analyses using random effects provided pooled odds ratios (pORs). Working in healthcare (pOR 2.87; aORs 2.72, 2.81, 3.08, for study periods 1–3 respectively), social care (pOR 4.15; aORs 2.46, 5.06, 5.41, for study periods 1–3 respectively) or hospitality (pOR 2.36; aORs 2.01, 2.54, 2.63, for study periods 1–3 respectively) were associated with increased odds of being a COVID-19 case. Additionally, working in bars, pubs and restaurants, warehouse settings, construction, educational settings were significantly associated. While definitively determining where transmission occurs is impossible, we provide evidence that in certain sectors, the impact of mitigation measures may only be partial and reinforcement of measures should be considered in these settings.

Between 21 November and 22 December 2020, a SARS-CoV-2 community testing pilot took place in the South Wales Valleys. We conducted a case-control study in adults taking part in the pilot using an anonymous online questionnaire. Social, demographic and behavioural factors were compared in people with a positive lateral flow test (cases) and a sample of negatives (controls). A total of 199 cases and 2621 controls completed a questionnaire (response rates: 27.1 and 37.6% respectively). Following adjustment, cases were more likely to work in the hospitality sector (aOR 3.39, 95% CI 1.43–8.03), social care (aOR 2.63, 1.22–5.67) or healthcare (aOR 2.31, 1.29–4.13), live with someone self-isolating due to contact with a case (aOR 3.07, 2.03–4.62), visit a pub (aOR 2.87, 1.11–7.37) and smoke or vape (aOR 1.54, 1.02–2.32). In this community, and at this point in the epidemic, reducing transmission from a household contact who is self-isolating would have the biggest public health impact (population-attributable fraction: 0.2). As restrictions on social mixing are relaxed, hospitality venues will become of greater public health importance, and those working in this sector should be adequately protected. Smoking or vaping may be an important modifiable risk factor.

EURO2020 generated a growing media and population interest across the month period, that peaked with large spontaneous celebrations across the country upon winning the tournament.
We retrospectively analysed data from the national surveillance system (indicator-based) and from event-based surveillance to assess how the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) changed in June–July 2021 and to describe cases and clusters linked with EURO2020.
Widespread increases in transmission and case numbers, mainly among younger males, were documented in Italy, none were linked with stadium attendance. Vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 was longer among cases linked to EURO2020 than among the general population.
Transmission increased across the country, mainly due to gatherings outside the stadium, where, conversely, strict infection control measures were enforced. These informal 'side' gatherings were dispersed across the entire country and difficult to control. Targeted communication and control strategies to limit the impact of informal gatherings occurring outside official sites of mass gathering events should be further developed.

Healthcare facilities are a well-known high-risk environment for transmission of M. tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB) disease. However, the link between M. tuberculosis transmission in healthcare facilities and its role in the general TB epidemic is unknown. We estimated the proportion of overall TB transmission in the general population attributable to healthcare facilities.
We combined data from a prospective, population-based molecular epidemiologic study with a universal electronic medical record (EMR) covering all healthcare facilities in Botswana to identify biologically plausible transmission events occurring at the healthcare facility. Patients with M. tuberculosis isolates of the same genotype visiting the same facility concurrently were considered an overlapping event. We then used TB diagnosis and treatment data to categorize overlapping events into biologically plausible definitions. We calculated the proportion of overall TB cases in the cohort that could be attributable to healthcare facilities.
In total, 1,881 participants had TB genotypic and EMR data suitable for analysis, resulting in 46,853 clinical encounters at 338 healthcare facilities. We identified 326 unique overlapping events involving 370 individual patients; 91 (5%) had biologic plausibility for transmission occurring at a healthcare facility. A sensitivity analysis estimated that 3%–8% of transmission may be attributable to healthcare facilities.
Although effective interventions are critical in reducing individual risk for healthcare workers and patients at healthcare facilities, our findings suggest that development of targeted interventions aimed at community transmission may have a larger impact in reducing TB.

El alcoholímetro o alcohómetro es un instrumento usado para determinar el nivel de alcohol que se halla presente en un líquido o gas. Puede usarse, por tanto, para medir el porcentaje de alcohol en una bebida alcohólica o para determinar la presencia de alcohol en la sangre o en un gas.

Los alcoholímetros especializados utilizados por la policía tienen muy poco margen de error, pero los alcoholímetros comunes no son del todo fiables, ya que pueden confundir altos niveles de alcohol con distintos tipos de sustancias como THC (producido por cannabis) o el tabaco.

Alcoholímetro digital

Un alcoholímetro digital, basado en un sensor de gas, indica, al soplar sobre él, el tanto por ciento de alcohol en la sangre y puede servir a una persona para saber si está en condiciones de conducir. Conocer el nivel de alcohol en la sangre es muy importante para la seguridad en las calles y carreteras.

Es el instrumento usado por los policías encargados de la seguridad del tráfico para la detección de la presencia de alcohol en el conductor de un vehículo (no arriesgues tu vida, no tomes). Esto se hará mediante alcoholímetros digitales de mano o mediante etilómetros (alcoholímetros de precisión, necesarios para hacer la denuncia pertinente), en caso de que se supere la tasa máxima permitida.

Para un uso efectivo de estos aparatos, se establece un control metrológico de los mismos mediante la Orden 27 de julio de 1994, como anteriormente se había establecido en España un  control metrológico de los alcoholímetros mediante la "Orden de 28 de diciembre de 1988, en los que se indica la tolerancia máxima de errores dentro de los límites de las normas de la UNE. Las mediciones las realizan instituciones como el Instituto Nacional de Metrología, en el caso de México, o los órganos competentes de las comunidades autónomas, en el caso de España.

Hay alcoholímetros en línea que te pueden ayudar a calcular cuánto tiempo debes esperar para estar en condiciones de conducir.

Química en la medición

Los  alcoholes pueden  oxidarse, la oxidación de los mismos produce aldehídos y la oxidación más intensa produce el ácido orgánico correspondiente; esta última explica por qué el vino, en contacto con el O2 se torna ácido.

CH3-CH2-OH + O2(ac)→ CH3-COOH(ac) + H2O (l)
(donde "ac" simboliza que la sustancia se encuentra diluida en agua o en un medio acuoso y "l" que es un líquido puro)

Para estimar la cantidad de alcohol que han ingerido las personas que circulan con sus vehículos se produce la oxidación del alcohol etílico (presente en el aire expirado) con una disolución anaranjada de K2Cr2O7; en la reacción se produce ácido acético (CH3-COOH) y la disolución disminuye la intensidad del color anaranjado. La disminución de la intensidad del color es una medida directa de la concentración del alcohol etílico en la sangre del individuo.

Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part.
Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are.
To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.
You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you.
The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth, chroma (brightness), and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
Rachel's blog is great resource in English on Color Analysis, but my favorite place to learn is Giusy's Rossetto e Merletto blog and group. For those of you who can read Italian, I recommend heading over to her page and blog and fall in love with what is called Armocromia in our lovely language: harmony of colors.
Francesca and I have both been analyzed by Giusy in Spring and for me that meant a time of experimentation with makeup, clothes and colors to fit in my Season. You might have seen an increasing number of warm smokey eyes on my Instagram feed. I am a Deep Autumn (DA) with a lot of warmth, whereas Francesca is a very neutral (not too cool, not too warm) Deep Winter (DW). These two seasons are sisters, both characterized by high contrast and depth of color and saturation. Deep Winter women are at their best in saturated, deep neutral-cool tones and have a vey high chroma, which allows them to wear primary colors very well. On the other hand Deep Autumn women have yes high contrast but a medium to high chroma and neutral-warm undertones. As you can imagine these sister seasons can borrow from each other but also have distinctive colors that will only suit them specifically. You can find examples of typical DA and DW palettes in the face charts at the beginning of the post that were made by Giusy. We will explore this in more depth looking at how some lipsticks look on a Deep Winter and a Deep Autumn next to each other.
For this first episode we are looking at three lipsticks that lie on that blurred line between DA and DW. The first one we tried is Wet n Wild Cinnamon Spice. This has been categorized as a perfect Deep Autumn shade thanks to the slightly warm undertone and saturated color. For me (DA) it is one of those lipsticks I take out when I don't know what to wear and I am sure it will look great. "When in doubt, Cinnamon Spice!" is a phrase that Fran and I say often. In fact, she loves this lipstick as well! Her predominantly neutral undertone allows her to ROCK Cinnamon Spice even though it is not in her season.
Another lipstick we both adore and looks stunning on both of us is Mac Diva, one of those lipsticks that will come across vampy on any other season than the two deepest ones. Personally Diva is a medium red for me, great statement lip, but not the darkest I would dare (remember these two here?). Temptalia (here) describes MAC Diva as "a medium-dark, warm-toned deepened red with a slightly muted quality" lipstick, but I do see a cool toned quality to it as well, which would make it a perfect ambivalent red, perfect for both Deep Autumn and Deep Winter. I have seen it on Fran (DW) and on many other Deep Autumns and it is just stunning on both seasons.
The big surprise of this series is MAC Russian Red, a prototypical Winter lipstick that just stole my heart and jumped to the top of my lipstick wishlist. It is definitely a cool toned red, but when it's on me it almost leans towards the orangey side. We were really surprised by this and couldn't really give a rational explanation. Funny how important it is to compare lipsticks on the lips and not just swatch them on the hand.
This is the end of the first appointment of the Seasonal Color Analysis Wars. We showed you three reds that against the expectations look great on bot a warm Deep Autumn and a neutral Deep Winter. I hope you enjoyed this chat, and don't forget to go read Fran's post on Being Cute is not a Crime and show her some love.
Had you heard about colour analysis before? And what do you think of the lipsticks? Do you agree with me or do you think the lipsticks look better on one than the other?

Again, the real secret to St. Edward's Hall is its staff, particularly its resident assistants (RAs). These dedicated, undergraduate seniors are to the Hall as the Jedi Knights were to the Old Republic of Star Wars. Who are these seniors? Let's put the spotlight on one of them... the 4th floor wing Resident Assistant, Frank Spesia.
St.Ed: Why did you become an resident assistant (RA) for your senior year? As a senior wouldn't you just want to roam the hallways as a "traveling troubadour," playing sweet nothings on your guitar?
Spesia: I became an RA after I failed the tryout for the Irish Troubadour Club Team. I was so devastated- I felt like my dreams had been crushed forever. Naturally, I wanted to become an RA so that I could train the future troubadours of Notre Dame, and continue helping the Club Team that I loved, even after they spurned me.
St.Ed: If the Hall Staff was the cast of Star Wars, who would you be? Still yet, who would your fellow staff members be?
Spesia: I am not a huge Star Wars buff, so don't expect anything insightful here. I picture myself as the Han Solo of the hall staff- my heart is in the right place, but sometimes I have to play by my own rules. Obviously Chris Hecht is Chewbacca, due to his incredibly long arms, and Vaishnav is Princess Leia due to his excellent (some would say noble) posture. Dan Meehan is Lando, who I just learned about. Sometimes does sketchy things, but it doesn't matter because he is the mayor. Dawson is C3P0 witty, and has the sneaky one liner at the ready. And finally, Fr. Ralph told me, "You must say that I am Yoda" so... Yoda he is.
St.Ed: The fourth floor of Steds is the most popular floor in the Hall, but what makes the 4th floor wing the most special part of the floor?
Spesia: As a 4 year resident of the 4th floor, I can attest to the special nature of the highest level of the building. 4 Wing is extra special because it has all of the attractions- the bathroom, the water fountain, the elevator, and my room are all on 4 Wing. It comes down to location, location, location. And we on the wing have all the locations.
St.Ed: Rumor has it that you are a member of the Hall Staff's Fantasy football league. Can you share how the league is shaping up?
Spesia: This year's fantasy football league is an absolute thriller. It has everything- rivalry, trash talk, betrayal, treasure maps, and forbidden romance. I wish I could say that I'm winning the league, but unfortunately I've been really focused on my studies this semester, so I've had basically no free time to invest in my squad. I also took some bad intel and drafted several players who retired in the late 2000s.
St.Ed: Being an RA for over a semester now, what's something that you learned about the Hall?
Spesia: Man, and I thought the Star Wars question was hard. I learned that the number of keys needed for an RA to do their job is complete overkill, and that when in doubt, you should print your paper the night before.
Spesia: I want my Steds tombstone to say, "He was always generous, and he strove to please. His heart was big, but his funny bone was bigger. Those who knew him often called him the coolest cat on campus, but those who didn't know him probably weren't missing too much, in the grand scheme of things. He was a terrible singer, but he sang in the hallways anyway, and he did it for the love of the game."
St.Ed: Frank, thanks for all that you do!

When we awoke in the morning, we went to Smitty's for breakfast and found the service really bad. That could have been because there was an Eagle's concert planned for that day at the Magnetic Hill in Moncton, and the restaurant was expecting a crowd, but there wasn't a crowd yet when we arrived. We were served our coffees with no cream or sweeteners, so I borrowed a bowl of creamers from a nearby table and went to the car to get a sugar substitute. It took so long to be served, that by the time we left and went to the Bay of Fundy, we had just missed the tides. We thought about staying in the town of Alma for a day to watch the tides and the Parkland Village Inn had a vacancy sign outside. When I went in to inquire though, the person behind the desk was actually the first unfriendly person we'd met. No, they didn't have a room available, no she didn't know if anyone else did, no she didn't know if most of the motels had internet available. I later joked to John that I was afraid to ask her her name, just in case she didn't know!
We went across the street to a small cafe to get some lunch. There was a woman there who talked non-stop. Apparently, both her parents had dementia and she can make better decisions than anyone else in her family. Now, I don't mind people having a conversation in a restaurant, but she was very loud, and it was difficult to have a conversation. So, not impressed with the town of Alma, we decided to push on.
I saw another town nearby on the map, called Cape Enrage, so we drove down there. Well, Cape Enrage is an interesting project. When lighthouses had become automated, the area had fallen into a serious state of disrepair and was slated for demolition. Six students from a Moncton high school, along with their teacher, went to Cape Enrage and started restoring it. Twenty students from New Brunswick high schools and universities are now involved in the project, and the Coast Guard has transferred ownership of the property to the Province of New Brunswick. It was an incredible afternoon, as we walked around and explored everything.
The fresh air out here is making me exhausted! We left Cape Enrage and drove to a suburb of Fredericton, where we stayed at the City Motel for the evening.
In the morning, we'll be heading back up to Perth-Andover to rest for a few days before we start our trip home.

LoveToKnow interviewed Brit Hyde, Brand Manager/Marketing Services of Bil-Jac dog food. Learn more about Bil-Jac's dry kibble formulas as well as their frozen dog food and decide whether it's best for your dog.
LTK: Brit, please give our readers a little of the history behind Bil-Jac dog food.
BH: In the early 1940s, two brothers, Jack and Bill Kelly returned from fighting in World War II and noticed a gap in the pet food market. They realized that there was a lot that could be done with regard to pet nutrition, especially for cats and dogs, and the brothers made great improvements in what was being offered. With the launch of Bil-Jac Frozen Dog Food, the brothers founded Bil-Jac Foods, Inc., headquartered in Medina, Oh. Today, Bil-Jac is growing at a rate of nearly 20 percent, and over the last several years, Bil-Jac Foods has hit the global markets of Japan, Canada, Chile and Korea.
LTK: Dogs have slightly different nutritional needs throughout the various stages of their lives. What formulas does the company offer?
BH: Bil-Jac offers Select, Reduced Fat, Puppy, Senior, Large Breed Select and Large Breed Puppy.
LTK: What are the first five ingredients listed on the Select label, and can you tell us how each one benefits our dogs?
BH: The first five ingredients are: Chicken By-Products (Organs Only, Including Chicken Liver), Chicken, Corn, Dried Beet Pulp and Brewers Dried Yeast. The first two Chicken ingredients are fresh chicken, and they are the predominant ingredients in the food. Most dry dog foods don't have any fresh ingredients. Those that do list Chicken as an ingredient have less than a ¼ of their formula using fresh meat ingredients. With Bil-Jac, over half of the formula is real fresh chicken ingredients that provide protein and energy for a dog.
The whole grain carbohydrate source in Bil-Jac dry foods is corn (in our Senior Formula we also use Oatmeal) that is processed in such a way that the carbohydrates are completely available to your pet for thorough digestion.
Corn is an excellent carbohydrate - an essential element of a dog's diet for energy.
Careful processing of any carbohydrate is essential for energy and digestibility.
Two factors should be considered with respect to carbohydrates in animal diets. First, the quality of the grain should be the finest. At Bil-Jac we take special care in sourcing only the finest grain.
The second concern relates to the conversion of the complex carbohydrates in the grain to simpler carbohydrates, which are then available to the animal. Bil-Jac is able to convert 98% to 99% of the complex carbohydrates we use to simpler carbohydrates with our unique processing procedures. Dogs simply can't digest complex carbohydrates, so it's essential to break them down for digestibility.
Dried Beet Pulp is a highly digestible energy source for dogs, Brewer's Yeast is rich in protein and Vitamin B.
LTK: Bil-Jac also makes a frozen dog food. What can you tell us about that, and are there any special benefits to feeding this style of food?
Bil-Jac Frozen is not widely distributed as the distribution and retail infrastructure for frozen pet food is not well developed. Our frozen food is distributed off our own trucks whereas most other pet foods comes to store via their internal distribution system or via pet food distributors who lack the capability to deliver significant quantities of frozen products.
LTK: Many dog food manufacturers use high heat processing to make their products. Why does Bil-Jac use low heat processing?
BH: In order to protect the meat's nutrients, we use the industry's only low temperature vacuum process. This means the heat sensitive amino acids are protected from heat damage that occurs in most "expanded" dog foods. Additionally, we add just the right amount of vitamins and minerals to make a complete and balanced diet for dogs at every stage during their lives.
LTK: Bil-Jac was not part of the massive dog food recall of 2007 that involved contaminated gluten. Would you tell us why gluten is included in some dog foods and why Bil-Jac doesn't use it in their formula?
BH: Bil-Jac only uses grains and meats that have domestic origins. To that end, Bil-Jac does not use any gluten meals, including wheat gluten meal, in any of our products. Bil-Jac is gluten meal-free, simply for the reason that it is not an ideal source of protein for dogs. And our primary focus has always been on providing the optimal nutritional formula so that dogs can reach their full healthy potential.
To make a healthy dog food, the best protein ingredients are animal proteins. These are the proteins that dogs, by nature, can easily digest and absorb as nutritional sources.
LTK: Where does the company acquire their ingredients from and is the food manufactured in the USA or abroad?
BH: Bil-Jac only uses meats from the USA and all of our products are manufactured in Berlin, MD or Medina, OH. We manufacture our own food and soft moist treats in our own facilities, under our own stringent quality guidelines. We've been making our own food since 1947, and pet food is our only business. We are family owned and operated.
LTK: What is the average turn around time from manufacturing the food until it hits store shelves?
BH: Generally we make food no more than a couple of weeks before we ship it. It is distributed to retail chains fairly promptly. We need some inventory to address surges in orders, but we try to maintain as short a lead-time as possible from the time we manufacture our food until it ships from our plant. Our company philosophy is all about freshness.
LTK: What does the company use to preserve the freshness of the food?
BH: In the case of frozen food, the only preservative is freezing. In our dry food, because we start with so much more real fresh chicken ingredients (over half the recipe), we use BHA as an antioxidant. To provide a product that is nutritious and safe for your pet's consumption, certain components in the diet must be protected from breakdown or oxidation. The primary component that must be stabilized in the diet is fat. Antioxidants must be included in the diet to prevent this oxidation of fats. Without the inclusion of antioxidants in the food, fats will oxidize with storage over time.
The oxidation process, or lipid peroxidation, involves an attack on the fat by an oxygen free radical. A fatty acid radical is produced that can react further with oxygen to produce peroxides. Lipid peroxidation produces a rancid smell and flavor. The formation of harmful peroxides makes the food unsafe for consumption. Antioxidants function by interrupting this chain of reactions, terminating the free radical chain in lipid oxidation.
Antioxidants have been approved for use in human and pet foods since 1947. BHA is a synthetic antioxidant that is used commonly in both human and pet foods. It is very stable and not easily destroyed by food processing. Thus, it can be added at very low levels to dietary fat, and still be highly effective in preventing oxidation. Examples of foods for human consumption that contain BHA are lard, shortenings, vegetable oils, crackers, potato chips and other snack foods. BHA may also be found as an antioxidant in cosmetics, prescription drugs, and in some vitamin A preparations.
LTK: What is the Bil-Jac challenge?
BH: We say that our dog food is what your dog would choose if given a choice. Simply place a bowl of Bil-Jac next to your current dry dog food at regular feeding time. You'll see that freshness does make a difference and that your best friend is our best sales dog. As in your diet at home, freshness of ingredients and careful preparation lead to a diet that is both superior in nutrition and delicious to eat. A dog has a keen sense of what will taste good. and our careful processing of fresh meat ingredients addresses your dog's instinctual desire for wholesome nutrition.
LTK: Where can consumers find Bil-Jac products?
BH: Simply visit our website, and type in your zip code in our Dealer Search function to find a retailer near you. Bil-Jac dry dog food products can only be purchased at a local pet store or through your pet's veterinarian; they are not available at Grocery, Mass Merchandisers or Drug Stores.

Q: Heroku toolbelt fails to install with 407 (Ubuntu/Precise) I follow the instructions and run:

Fetched 2,313 kB in 18s (123 kB/s)
W: Failed to fetch http://toolbelt.heroku.com/ubuntu/./Packages  407  Proxy Authentication Required

Any idea how to solve this?

A: What This Usually Means
Usually a 407  Proxy Authentication Required error while attempting to install a package with APT means:

*

*You use an HTTP proxy.

*APT is not properly configured to use it.

If that is the case here, then you can solve the problem by adding the line
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:pass@proxy:port/";
to the file /etc/apt/apt.conf (give user, pass, proxy, and port the correct values).
Source: jaseem's answer to 407 Proxy Authentication Required (on Ask Ubuntu).
A Curious Situation
Here, it appears other software sources work. apt-get is able to read data from archive.ubuntu.com, and presumably is able to do more (as you would've noticed if the package manager on your Ubuntu box were thoroughly broken).
So while the problem seems proxy-related, it may not be a consequence of misconfiguration on your machine.
One interesting thing about the http://toolbelt.heroku.com software source is that navigating to that URL forwards you to the HTTPS site. APT fully supports HTTPS software sources, but this software source is not HTTPS.
Examining the configuration for the software source the script enabled reveals:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/heroku.list
deb http://toolbelt.heroku.com/ubuntu ./

http://toolbelt.heroku.com/ubuntu goes to an HTTPS 404 page, too, but with a trailing slash, it does not. When ended in /, it redirects to http://heroku-toolbelt.s3.amazonaws.com/apt/ (which, conveniently though perhaps irrelevantly, behaves correctly whether or not you have the trailing /).
Maybe Ubuntu or your proxy is having a hard time figuring out what is HTTP and HTTPS, for proxy purposes. This is just a guess...but one that I think is worth checking out.
A Possible Solution
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/heroku.list and change its contents to:
deb http://toolbelt.heroku.com/ubuntu/ ./

(That is, add a trailing slash to the URL.)
Then run sudo apt-get update and see if the error goes away. If it does, try installing Heroku.

*

*The script you download would've automatically installed it, but it didn't get to that point. So manually run: sudo apt-get install heroku
Why not just change it to the amazonaws domain name?
When I suggested to add a trailing slash, you probably wondered why I didn't just say to change the line to:
deb http://heroku-toolbelt.s3.amazonaws.com/apt ./

The reason is that, even though a Packages file (listing packages the repository offers) exists in http://heroku-toolbelt.s3.amazonaws.com/apt and can be downloaded with
wget http://heroku-toolbelt.s3.amazonaws.com/apt/./Packages

...nonetheless, somehow apt-get update is unable to download the file:
W: Failed to fetch http://heroku-toolbelt.s3.amazonaws.com/apt/./Packages  404  Not Found

aptitude has the same problem, suggesting it's not an apt-get bug. Moreover, the ./ syntax works fine for other files besides Packages that are retrieved by apt-get update and aptitude update.
Therefore, unless this is enough information that you (or someone) can figure out what I cannot, it's not likely changing it to the amazonaws domain name will work either.
Manually Download and Install the .deb Packages
If your proxy settings are correct and there is no problem with your proxy itself, and adding the trailing slash to the URL did not work, then the only solution I can think of is the workaround of manually downloading and installing the .deb packages.
First, disable the Heroku repository that's causing errors:
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d && sudo mv heroku.list heroku.list.save

The Packages file (in case you're not able to download it at all) says:

Journal: What's Your Favorite Prototype?
What's Your Favorite Prototype?
By Michael Banovsky
Prototypes are awesome. It doesn't really matter if we're talking about the Ferrari Enzo prototype—you know, the one that looked like a stretched 348—or one of the engineering mules for what would eventually become the Citroën 2CV. The stories from testing eventually seem to leak out, and we get to lust after vehicles that serve no purpose once the production car is released.
Sometimes, like in the case of the Jaguar X-C75, a prototype car is pulled to and from in a sort of "Will they?" or "Won't they?" limbo, a process which serves only to make enthusiasts jittery. I prefer finding out a company made the coolest car ever after it's crushed into a million tiny pieces—it's easier that way.
Such is the tale of my favorite prototype, the Lamborghini Countach Evoluzione. Horacio Pagani worked there at the time, so the car was packed with composite parts to bring the weight down. It may look like the cash-strapped company just relied on wheel covers and small tweaks to make the ageing Countach more efficient, but even in 1986, engineers had recast the car with a composite structure, active suspension, ABS, (rumored) four-wheel-drive, and a 490 horsepower V12 to send it screaming through the countryside.
Fast? Definitely: at just 2,160 lbs., it weighed 1,102 lbs. less than a normal Countach and even 180 lbs. less than a McLaren F1. As a rolling test bed, it was sacrificed in a crash test: nobody really knew how composites would hold up in a supercar.
Do you have a prototype that tugs at your heartstrings?

I mean, that Jag has made everyone swoon for the past few years, and rightly so… For me, it would have shown to the world that you don't need to put a V12 engine in a supercar to make it extremely exciting/powerful/fast. But than, there's also the VW Bluesport, this small, mid engined sportscar that they could easily have built on the Boxster platform… It would have been an awesome competitor to the MX-5/Miata. And I'm going to add too the Saab 9-5 II Estate. They produced a few dozens of the prototypes, but now you can buy it on… Read more »

with a chassis based on the nimble 914/6, and a 2.4L aircooled, mid-mounted flat-six engine I can only dream of what it must have been like to drive. and in my opinion it's the best looking car to be made in the 70's.

There are quite a few, but one that I love still do this day, has got to be the Lamborghini Cala, that still born "baby" which featured in Need For Speed II SE. I fully agree with the comments of the AVUS as well, and another one well of left wing is the Peugeot Quasar. Well ahead of it's time. I think the Quasar was actualy listed here in an article at some stage.

The Mazda RX-01.
It would've been a worthy successor to the original RX-7 (the 2nd gen was too heavy and 3rd gen complex), being lightweight with a rotary packed low and toward the center. Instead we got the RX-8 which had a fine chassis, but was too heavy and big to take advantage of the Wankel engine's power/weight advantage and compactness.

As a Kid, it was the Ford GT 90. That thing just looked like a rocket ship… I loved the idea of space shuttle like ceramic tiles to absorb engine heat generated by that quad-turbo V12 and of course, that design…. The kind of thing that inspired me to sit down with pencil, paper and let my imagination run wild dreaming up car designs.

Lotus Exige V6 test mule based on stretched Exige MKII with riveted fender flares – beautiful in a very functional and raw way!

As a kid growing up in Detroit and Dearborn Michigan , we would always go to the Ford Rotunda and of course the Auto shows in the city. I was always surprised when the new models came out and they had very little resemblance to the so called
prototypes . I guess the prototypes sort of set the bar for the future but sadly are rarely practical and never slated for production.

And, yes, I know the Avus was shown without a working engine, but it was intended to be a working prototype and its engine, the W12, was eventually built, along with the necessary platform (it could, in retrospect, have been built on either modern Lamborghini platform or the Bugatti space frame design or even an altered-wheelbase Cayman platform…).
Actually Herr Muth .. the Audi Avus had a working platform underneath … coming from the Audi Quattro Group S prototypes that were in development before the demise of Group S [ that also later spawned the AudiGhinis and the R8 ] So though I'll agree on the importance of the Avus [ as well as declare my undying love of the beast not to mention my disappointment that it never made it to production ] .. methinks we'll have to give the Group S Quattro the nod for most influential .. Oh … but " Hold On Sloopy "… Read more »
The Audi Avus quattro remains, in my view, one of the most important concepts for doing what concepts are supposed to do: Guide the future of the brand. We can see its influence not just in the B5 S4 wheels, but in the MkI TT, the R8 road car, the EXP Speed 8 race car, and the roofline geometry of many subsequent VW/Audi concepts. Its basic front-end family of shapes were reinterpreted for Jozef Kaba?'s Bugatti design studies. It's an enormously influential work and not discussed enough in the context of VW/Audi's styling language, or in the context of J.… Read more »
