Can we have similar link to Stack Overflow review page on the MSO review page?
Now if someone clicks the review in MSO mistaking it is Stack Overflow then to get the Stack Overflow review page they do at least two more clicks to get to Stack Overflow review. This reduce those clicks to a single one. It also makes both the sites look consistent.
I haven't noticed this before, so it may be an experimental way of driving users to Meta and/or Meta review queues.
For congruency, it probably would be a good idea to add a link back to main site reviews on the Meta page if this is/becomes a permanent change.
In the meantime, however, I've written a userscript that adds it (it should work on all sites, but let me know if it doesn't).
Was the Meta Reviews button always there?

Operation Bigamy a.k.a. Operation Snowdrop was a raid during the Second World War by the Special Air Service in September 1942 under the command of Lieutenant Colonel David Stirling and supported by the Long Range Desert Group. The plan was to destroy the harbour and storage facilities at Benghazi and raid the airfield at Benina in Libya in coordination with the RAF. The raid was part of a deception plan for Operation Agreement, the much larger raid on Tobruk.

The plan involved a "gruelling journey around the southern edge of the  Great Sand Sea" but ended in failure. The raiding force was discovered at a road block by an Italian reconnaissance unit and Stirling decided to withdraw to Kufra. During the withdrawal, the Luftwaffe picked off nearly 70 of the vehicles on the barren terrain.  The survivors were reformed as the 1st Special Air Service regiment.

The frequently used, albeit inaccurate, name Operation Snowdrop stems from early editions of William Boyd Kennedy Shaws' book Long Range Desert Group. At the time, War Office security policy would not permit Shaw to use real operational code names.

In September 1967 Len Deighton wrote an article in The Sunday Times Magazine about Operation Snowdrop. The following year Stirling was awarded "substantial damages" in a libel action about the article. The passage complained of states "Stirling himself had insisted upon talking about the raid at two social gatherings at the British Embassy in Cairo although warned not to do so". Stirling made the point that Winston Churchill had been at both gatherings and the issue was raised in a private discussion with the Prime Minister.

Societe Generale performs at the Royal Festival Hall in London
As part of a unique corporate initiative Societe Generale staff will be performing for the first time at the Royal Festival Hall, one of London's leading classical music venues, on Saturday 22 April.
Entitled 'Playing for London', Societe Generale will bring together 300 amateur musicians and singers from staff to perform with Les Siècles symphony orchestra, as part of the bank's series of concerts. This will be the first time the ensemble has performed outside France, following the success of previous concerts 'Playing for Salle Pleyel' in 2013 and 2014, and the 'Playing for Philharmonie' in 2016.
The Royal Festival Hall will welcome on stage Societe Generale employees from France, Morocco and the UK, as well as conductor François-Xavier Roth, founder of Les Siècles and recently appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra in March 2017.
Frederic Oudea, CEO of Societe Generale commented: "Playing for London truly symbolises our core values of commitment and team spirit that drive the community here at Societe Generale. We are very proud to showcase how diversity creates harmony."
Societe Generale and Classical music
Societe Generale's support for classical music dates back to 1987, with the creation of a dedicated charity. It has gradually established itself as a key player in the musical world, contributing to expanding the reach of classical music beyond its traditional audience.
Societe Generale partners with 23 orchestras and ensembles, giving more than 1,000 concerts and performances every year. Iconic venues also benefit from Societe Generale's support. These include the Philharmonie de Paris, the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord among others in France, as well as the National Theatre of Prague in the Czech Republic. In the UK, Societe Generale is also a corporate member of the Royal Albert Hall and of the Glyndebourne Opera festival.
By helping leading music schools, lending instruments, and awarding scholarships to students to help with their professional development, Societe Generale also supports the talents of today who are set to become the major artists of tomorrow.
In a year when it is celebrating 30 years' support of classical music, Societe Generale is also proud to be building on its long-term partnership with the Victoria and Albert Museum as lead sponsor of its major exhibition: 'Opera: Passion, Power and Politics', in collaboration with the Royal Opera House, opening on 30 September.
The concert will be streamed live, from 7.30pm, on societegenerale.com and on the Group's following Twitter accounts:

Preliminary figures show $4.7M surplus for city in FY2015
Jeremy M. Lazarus | 3/8/2016, 9:32 p.m.
City Hall could fill a big chunk of a projected $9.6 million deficit for the current fiscal year once outside auditors sign off on the city's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for fiscal year 2015 that ended June 30.
Based on preliminary figures, the city finished fiscal year 2015 with a $4.7 million surplus.
That money is being kept in savings and cannot be touched until the CAFR is finalized — still a distant prospect, it appears.
Once the CAFR is completed, the mayor could request that City Council transfer the surplus to the fiscal year 2016 budget.
The $4.7 million also could be used to boost the amount the city has to spend in the proposed fiscal year 2017 budget the mayor is scheduled to unveil this Friday, March 4. Or the $4.7 million could be left unspent.
Selena Cuffee-Glenn, the city's chief administrative officer, and her deputy for finance, Lenora Reid, told the City Council Finance Committee on Feb. 18 that the CAFR's completion is being held up as the city seeks to comply with requests from the outside auditor.
This is the second year in a row that Mayor Dwight C. Jones' administration has failed to complete the CAFR by the traditional Nov. 30 deadline.
Ms. Cuffee-Glenn said the outside auditor is waiting for three items to close the books on 2015.
First, Ms. Cuffee-Glenn said the auditor has asked the city to go back 10 years on capital projects and provide financial evidence on which projects have been completed and which remain open. The information is needed to justify the city's valuation of assets and to report depreciation.
The filing of such documents apparently never had been done in a systematic way, creating substantial work for the Finance Department staff.
Next, the auditor wants the city to provide an appraisal of The Diamond baseball stadium, Ms. Cuffee-Glenn said. The city took ownership of The Diamond in 2014, but the home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels had not been properly valued for CAFR purposes.
Finally, both the city and the auditor are awaiting Richmond Public Schools to provide the audit of its books for fiscal year 2014.
Neither Ms. Cuffee-Glenn nor Ms. Reid offered any timetable for completing the CAFR.

4th time the charm?


About 20% of the population has the innate trait of high sensitivity, also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity. The brains of HSPs process more information more deeply, which can make us more overwhelmed and sensitive to our surroundings. HSPs often suffer from anxiety and higher stress levels in a world that feels overwhelming, which is likely why up to 50% of clients in therapy are HSPs.
As a highly sensitive person, you may be able to feel what other people feel, which can help you to be more empathic and compassionate – these are some of the gifts of this trait. On the other hand, you can also be more easily overwhelmed and have higher stress levels. You may experience sensory overload with such factors as loud noise, bright lighting, and strong odors.
As an HSP myself, I am passionate about my work as a psychotherapist who specializes in the trait of high sensitivity and consider it a calling to help you thrive and live at your highest potential.
I've developed what I call a compassionate and supportive "brain training" program through my books and online course which provide specific tools for HSP's to learn to navigate an overstimulating world.

On Saturday 16th June we're running an event to involve as many VCGHers from as many ride groups as possible. It'll start with a series of club rides in the morning, starting from Thursley recreation ground carpark (next to the cricket green), and end up at 14:00 at the Three Horseshoes in Thursley for a barbecue lunch and beers (£10 per person for food - pay on the day). The rides can take whatever format you like; there are set routes and you can join a hub group going at a specified pace or you can make your own arrangements to ride solo or join a group of friends. The format is very much like the sportive-style Merry Harriers ride we run on Wednesday evenings.
More details about the event can be found here. However, sign-up is now closed and the pub have been given final numbers so please email captain@vcgh.co.uk with any last-minute requests.

Toward a better definition for AKI in newborns
August 9, 2017 /in Neonatology, Neonatology News, Nephrology, Nephrology News /by Innovation District
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases convened a meeting of expert neonatologists and pediatric nephrologists, including Dr. Patricio Ray, to review state-of-the-art knowledge about acute kidney injury in neonates and to evaluate the best method to assess these patients' kidney function.
Each year, thousands of infants in the United States end up in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) with acute kidney injury (AKI), a condition in which the kidneys falter in performing the critical role of filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood to produce urine. Being able to identify neonates during the early stages of AKI is critical to doctors and clinician-scientists who treat and study this condition, explains Patricio Ray, M.D., a nephrologist at Children's National Health System.
Without an accurate definition and early identification of newborns with AKI, it is difficult for doctors to limit the use of antibiotics or other medications that can be harmful to the kidneys. Neonates who have AKI should not receive large volumes of fluids, a treatment that can cause severe complications when the kidneys do not properly function.
Until recently, there was no standard definition for AKI, leaving doctors and researchers to develop their own guidelines. Lacking set criteria led to confusion, Dr. Ray says. For example, different studies estimating the percentage of infants in NICUs with AKI ranged from 8 percent to 40 percent, depending on which definition was used. In 2012, a group known as the Kidney Disease Improved Global Outcome (KDIGO) issued practice guidelines for AKI that provide a standard for doctors and researchers to follow. They focus largely on measuring the relative levels of serum creatinine, a protein produced by muscles that is filtered by the kidneys, and the amount of urine output, which typically declines in adults and older children with failing kidneys.
The problem with these guidelines, Dr. Ray explains, is they are not sensitive enough to identify newborns experiencing the early stages of AKI during the first week of life. Newborns can have high serum creatinine levels during the first week of life due to residual levels transferred from mothers through the placenta. Also, because their kidneys are immature, failure often can mean higher – not diminished – urine production.
In 2013, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, convened a meeting of leading neonatologists and pediatric nephrologists – including Dr. Ray – to review state-of-the-art knowledge about AKI in neonates and to evaluate the best manner to assess kidney function in these patients. They published a summary of their discussion online June 12, 2017 in Pediatric Research.
Among other findings, the group concluded that the current definition of AKI lacks the sensitivity needed to identify the early stages of AKI in neonates' first week of life. They also said that more research was needed to fill this gap.
That's where Dr. Ray's current research comes in. Working with fellow Children's Nephrologist Charu Gupta, M.D., and Children's Neonatologist An Massaro, M.D., the three clinician-scientists reviewed the medical records of 106 infants born at term with a condition known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), in which the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen. Not only does this often lead to brain injury, but it also greatly increases the risk of AKI.
Because these babies had been followed closely in the NICU to assess the possibility of AKI, their serum creatinine had been checked frequently. The researchers found that about 69 percent of the infants with HIE followed at Children's National never developed signs of kidney failure during their first week of life. These babies' serum creatinine concentrations dropped by 50 percent or more by the time they were 1 week old, about the same as reported previously in healthy neonates. Another 12 percent of the infants with HIE developed AKI according to the definition established by the KDIGO group in 2012. These infants:
Required more days of mechanical ventilation and medications to increase their blood pressure
Had higher levels of antibiotics in their bloodstreams
Retained more fluid
Had lower urinary levels of a molecule that their kidneys should have been cleared and
Had to stay in the hospital longer
A third group of the infants with HIE, about 19 percent, did not meet the standard criteria for AKI. However, these babies had a rate of decline of serum creatinine that was significantly slower than the normal newborns and the infants with HIE who had excellent outcomes. Rather, their outcomes matched those of infants with established AKI.
Dr. Ray notes that by following the rate of serum creatinine decline during the first week of life physicians could identify neonates with impaired kidney function. This approach provides a more sensitive method to identify the early stages of AKI in neonates. "By looking at how fast babies were clearing their serum creatinine compared with the day they were born, we could predict how well their kidneys were working," he says. Dr. Ray and colleagues published these findings July 2016 in Pediatric Nephrology.
He adds that further studies will be necessary to confirm the utility of this new approach to assess the renal function of term newborns with other diseases and preterm neonates. Eventually, he hopes this new approach will become uniform clinical practice.

The Irish economy is in recovery, consumer confidence is improving and private consuming plays an increasing role in the growth of the economy. Therefore, there are good opportunities for Danish exports to Ireland which was Denmark's 15th largest export market in 2016, importing for 7 bn Danish Kroner (0.91 bn euro).
There are good commercial relations between Ireland and Denmark. Ireland was Denmark's 15th largest export market in 2016. The export was at its highest in 2007, where Ireland imported Danish goods for 8.5 bn. Danish Kroner (1.12 bn euro), but the number has since decreased as a result of the Irish economy. In 2016 Denmark exported goods and services to Ireland for 7 bn Danish Kroner (0.91 bn euro), whereas the Danish import from Ireland in 2016 was 6.9 bn Danish kroner (0.93 bn euro). Denmark primarily imports medical and pharmaceutical products and services from Ireland.
The economic growth and increased consumer optimism create new export opportunities in Ireland – also for Danish companies. Especially within the energy and environment sector, Ireland shows interest for Denmark and Danish solutions. Danish design and food are also popular, and there are further good possibilities within the ICT-, pharmaceutical-, and construction industries. With an increasing demand and larger economic latitude among consumers, Ireland is again a market with plenty of potential for Danish companies.

- People are fleeing their villages for a safer area when heavy rains are raging over Yunnan. China.org writes : A heavy downpour has hit southwest China's earthquake-hit county of Yiliang early Tuesday morning, triggering floods to cut off roads and force thousands to evacuate. The county's headquarter of flood control and drought relief said the rainfall is the largest in local meteorological history. It has damaged the county's drinking water supply pipeline and an alternative water source. The flood is set to delay the post-quake relief work as all roads linking the county with elsewhere have been cut off.
CCTV journalist at work in Yunnan's Jiliang area are witnessing the heavy rains which are generating mudslides. We truly feel sorry for all these earthquake victims who have to find refuge in tented camps with this kind of weather. We expect further video later today and will bring it to you when we notice it.
2 moderate but nevertheless dangerous earthquakes occurred in another part of Yunnan. As the main reason for the damage from lastweek's earthquakes was landslides, it will certainly also be the case here.
Early reports are talking about 2 people injured. We are following up the aftermath of these new shakes and will report accordingly.
The earthquakes in Yiliang county have caused 257 schools to become damaged containing 98,000 students.
Direct economic losses of up to 582.26 million yuan or around 90 million USD have occurred with schools needing at least 270 million yuan of funds.
More than 200,000 children are estimated to have been affected by a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in the South - Western provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou in China.
"Children who have survived this will be frightened and exhausted. We are especially worried about children who may have been separated from their parents during the earthquake, as more aftershocks are expected to hit the area," said Pia MacRae, country director for Save the Children in China.
Save the Children has been working in China for nearly 25 years, responding to over 15 disasters in that time, such as the 2010 Yushu earthquake and 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
- The direct economic loss estimate from China has hit 3.704 billion CNY or 587 million USD. This is equivalent to 10% of the GDP of the Zhaotong City Prefecture.
- The death toll has reduced again after double counting to 81. Injuries are up to 820. 744000 people have been affected.
(彝良县洛泽河镇 - 62 people、角奎镇 - 11 people、龙街乡 - 3 people、荞山乡 - 2 people、龙安乡 - 1 person,昭阳区北闸镇 - 1 person、青岗岭乡 - 1 person.
- In Yunnan, 6650 rooms have been destroyed and over 122000 rooms damaged with 201000 people relocated while emergency forces work.
- In Guizhou, 3 rooms collapsed and 100 rooms have been severely damaged with 380 people relocated.
- Rumors are again increasing misery levels as mouth to mouth information tells them about new earthquakes to arrive soon. Over and over again we have to explain that the strength and timing of earthquakes cannot be fore-casted. All people can do it being prepared to withstand another one. Very rare cases are generating aftershocks that are equal or even stronger than the previous mainshock, but very few chance still means that the chance exists. NEVER believe prophets and continue listening to skilled science people.
- 43 bodies have been returned to the relatives for burial. The names of these people will be published soon.
- After the quake, local authorities have built several temporary shelters at the county square and the county hospital. Relief materials are also arriving. Rescue teams are working around the clock to reach survivors.
- Troops are reporting that rocks are still tumbling down the slopes and mountains which makes repair work very dangerous.
- A lot of Chinese citizens have started to donate money to the Chinese Red Cross. The fund will help to cover urgent needs and medium term aid.
- A baby was born in a rescue tent ! A lot of misery and at the same time a sign of hope !
- The direct economic loss estimate from China has hit 3.5 billion CNY or 551 million USD.
- This is equivalent to 10% of the GDP of the Zhaotong City Prefecture.
- The death toll has unfortunately risen to 89. Injuries are up to 795. 744000 people have been affected.
- The new number of fatalities makes today's earthquake the second deadliest in 2012. Coincidence or not, both these earthquakes were double earthquakes.
- The city of Chongqing (+30 million inhabitants) has offered to help. Chongqing is approx. 300 km from the epicenter.
- It is horrifying for us to add always more and more fatalities in our updates. Now from 63 to 64, another family devastated by losing someone.
- A reporter who was inspecting the area saw huge landslides on both sides of the valley.
- Roads are being blocked by huge rocks.
- Experts from CEA (National Earthquake Authority) will arrive soon at the scene to help with the local authorities. National experts are only sent in after major earthquake events.
- Darkness will set in in a couple of hours making rescue work even more dangerous. Rescuers still have to cope with aftershocks of M3 to M4.
- The death toll of the double M5.6 / M5.7 earthquake has further climbed to 43 (42 in Yiliang County, 1 in Zhaoyang District).
- 24 dead, 150 injured.
- ER expects that the Economic loss estimate is coming out to $220-390 million based on the current parameters. (still waiting on a damage-based estimate).
- The Chinese CEA authority has send a 10-man supervisory team to the area. These National teams are only flying in in major disaster cases.
- The news of serious landslides also means that remotely located villages may have been hit by landslides too. Priority is mostly given to the bigger cities.
- Greatly seen in the world as small tremors proof once more to become a deadly cocktail in China. Earthquakes cannot be pinned into a Magnitude / Dangerous relation. Much more has to be accounted for.
- Death toll has reached 7.
- In addition, 20000 households have damage of some form.
- At least 6 are dead according to new reports. The M5.7 earthquake had a 14km depth, and was 15km from Yiliang county and 30 kilometers from Zhaotong City. Damage is expected in both locations.
Zhaotong Prefecture is home to 5.74 million people but has a reasonably low GDP of around CNY39 billion per year (6.2 billion USD). It is mainly agricultural in nature. The exposed capital stock according to CATDAT in terms of net capital infrastructure is around 14.2 billion USD, of which around 2.1 billion USD is in the most affected areas including Yiliang County. Hence we are looking at a damage bill in at least the 100s of millions of USD if directly impacted. The rural net capita income is about CNY2900 (around 500USD).
UPDATE:- At least 20,000 rooms (around 6,000 houses) are destroyed at first estimates, with 6000 tents being sent to the region and many other disaster supplies.
Epicenter right by the city.
UPDATE:- The dual quakes hit about 57 minutes apart, both of around M5.6, with much panic.
Over 6.7 million people live within 100km of this quake. Yiliang county itself has around 500,000 inhabitants and is extremely mountainous having differences of 520m above sea level to 2800m within the county.
51 minutes after the event, 39 people were sent to the area from the Seismological Bureau.
According to Yunnan Yiliang radio and television reporter sent to CCTV's news, a 5.6 earthquake occurred in Yunnan Yiliang, some houses have collapsed and landslides hindered transportation.
UTC Time : 03:19:42 UTC, Friday, 7th September, 2012.
Local time at epicenter : 11:19:42, Friday, 7th September, 2012.
Many parts of south-eastern China have a history of damaging earthquakes, and the area surrounding the September 7th, 2012 earthquakes is no exception. 30 earthquakes of M5 or above have occurred within 100 km of these events over the past 40 years. Three had magnitudes greater than 5.5, and each of these caused damage and fatalities.
The largest, a M 6.8 earthquake 80 km to the north of the September 7th events in May 1974, caused over 1500 fatalities. A M 5.6 earthquake just 30 km to the south of these events also caused several fatalities in November 2003. While the September 7th, 2012 events are not considered large earthquakes, the high population density and high vulnerability of structures in the region make such shallow earthquakes particularly damaging.
It appears the Chinese Government does not have seismic quality control over the type & nature of construction works in rural areas but the question is why ? It is like believe it or not as there are top level seismic structural engineers practicing in China.This will not be wrong if I say it is an irony of fate. I request the Government of China to explain.
Earthquake Resistant Building Construction Code (ERBCC) be strictly enforced in rural areas and Seismic Construction Monitoring Agency (SCMA) based on this code be set up by the Government of China to prevent this sort of disaster as prevention is better than cure.
With this much regards & best wishes.


The Grand Theater "Vitrolite" Tiles project is comprised of 1,752 square feet of historic reproduction glass cladding tiles (traditionally marketed under the brand name Vitrolite) and is located at the Grand Theater in Grand Island, Nebraska. Bullseye Studio fabricated a total of 584 panels, measuring 12" x 36" each, in three custom colors: 300 units of "black" glass, 134 units of "jade" glass, and 150 units of "cream" glass.
For historic reproduction projects, our client, Tim Dunn, typically sources reclaimed materials. However, because this was an entirely new facade there were too many tiles needed of each color to rely on color consistency from reclaimed stock. Therefore, all tiles needed to be custom made.
In order for the reproduction to be historically accurate, the panels needed a solid body color, rather than paint or ceramic frit applied to the back surface. Bullseye is one of the only glass manufacturers in the world able to produce glass of this type in the range of colors this project required.
Tim came to Bullseye Studio because we had the glass and the ability to make custom colors. Additionally, with our large kilns we can offer flat, annealed glass panels with solid, consistent body color.

Sculley's Defense
By Brian Chasnoff on January 8, 2013 at 2:28 PM
Recent complaints by terminated city employee Michael Cuellar against former Deputy City Manager Pat DiGiovanni and others could be compared to a clumsy blast from a paintball gun — while splattering a slew of people, most of the allegations were easily washed away.
The complaints took aim at more than a dozen people, from DiGiovanni to an investigator in the city's Office of Municipal Integrity. Cuellar also fired at City Manager Sheryl Sculley, alleging (in poor grammatical style) that "as Mr. DiGiovanni superior Ms. Sculley is responsible for overseeing his activities is and is/should be briefed on all matters, which Ms. Sculley herself failed to address to take any initiative on her part to correct this matter."
More succinctly, Cuellar told reporter John Tedesco that Sculley "had an opportunity to recognize (DiGiovanni's) conflict of interest and do something about it."
My column today takes a look at this criticism of the city manager and how she has navigated the controversy over DiGiovanni's role in awarding a $305 million contract to renovate the Convention Center. Important context: The city's ethics review board, for now, has decided not to consider the complaint against Sculley — for two reasons that I can discern.
The first is that attorney Frank Garza has advised the board not to consider it. (City Attorney Michael Bernard typically advises the board, but Cuellar fired at Bernard in his complaints, too, so the city hired Garza for the job.)
In a letter to Cuellar, Garza wrote, "I have determined that your complaint will be forwarded to the Ethics Review Board regarding Pat DiGiovanni and David Zachry, CEO of Zachry Corporation. However, your ethics complaint regarding Sheryl Sculley … fails to cite any specific facts or ethics violations that are within the jurisdiction of the Ethics Review Board."
This assertion is questionable. A section of the ethics code states that "a city official or employee who has knowledge of a violation of any of the provisions of this Ethics Code shall report this violation." (Cuellar's clumsily fired complaints might've missed this entirely: He cites specific sections of the ethics code against Sculley, but not this one.)
On Monday, I asked Art Downey, chairman of the ethics board, why the board would likely ignore the question of Sculley's culpability as DiGiovanni's superior.
His answer: Initially, Sculley argued DiGiovanni's actions did not amount to a violation of the ethics code. (Before the board ruled in October that DiGiovanni had violated the code, Sculley and DiGiovanni had argued absurdly that he hadn't.) Therefore, Downey said, Sculley technically didn't have "knowledge of a violation."
As the paint splatters, then, Sculley has a powerful defense: Her own insistence at the outset, however erroneous, that no violation had occurred at all.

FDA receives lukewarm review on updated blood donor recommendations
Reduction of HIV transmission risk still tops list of concerns

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revised its list of recommendations on who can and cannot donate blood, with the stated goal of reducing the risk of HIV transmission in mind.
Most notable is the recommendation regarding men who have sex with men.
The previous guidelines denied any man who had sex with another man even just once since 1977 — several years ahead of the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic — the opportunity to give blood.
- - - advertisement - - -
The guidelines, updated on the FDA website last month, now deny only those men who have had sex with another man within the previous 12 months the chance to donate.
(Interestingly enough, the FDA also recommends a 12-month deferral of any female donor who has had sex with a man who has had sex with another man within the previous 12 months.)
The FDA based its decision on extensive data and various studies conducted worldwide, as well as the experiences of countries like the United Kingdom and Australia which require men to wait to donate blood if they have had sex with other men.
Although the FDA's updated recommendations don't specifically mention "gays," "bisexuals" or "sexual orientation" as criteria for determining who can and cannot give blood, LGBT rights activists say it's discriminatory to deny any man who has had sex with another man at any point in time the opportunity to donate.
National Gay Blood Drive (NGBD) issued a statement on its website welcoming the FDA's policy change, but with a call for further revisions. NGBD, founded in 2012, organizes nationwide blood drives for gay and bisexual men who want to contribute to the nation's blood supply.
"While gay and bisexual men will be eligible to donate their blood and help save lives under this 12-month deferral, countless more will continue to be banned solely on the basis of their sexual orientation and without medical or scientific reasoning," the statement reads. "We strongly encourage the FDA to move toward a deferral based upon individual risk assessment."
According to the American Red Cross (ARC) website, although 38 percent of the population in this country is eligible to donate, less than 10 percent actually do.
The ARC adds that just one donation can save up to three lives.
The "Frequently Asked Questions" page at the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas website makes clear that the FDA requires screening questions be asked of donors with each donation.
It also states that all blood products collected are tested for infectious diseases and that, as per the FDA recommendation, anyone who has tested positive for HIV may not donate.
FDA Recommendations on Deferring Potential Blood Donors
(fda.gov)
Defer indefinitely an individual who has ever had a positive test for HIV.
Defer indefinitely an individual who has ever exchanged sex for money or drugs.
Defer indefinitely an individual who has ever engaged in injection drug use that was not prescribed.
Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact any individual who has a history of sex with a person who: has ever had a positive test for HIV, ever exchanged sex for money or drugs, or ever engaged in non-prescription injection drug use.
Defer for 12 months from the most recent transfusion any individual who has a history of receiving a transfusion of Whole Blood or blood components donated by another person (allogeneic transfusion).
Defer for 12 months from the most recent exposure any individual who has a history of through-the-skin contact with the blood of another individual, such as a needle stick or blood contact with an open wound or mucous membrane.
Defer for 12 months from the most recent tattoo, ear or body piercing. However, individuals who have undergone tattooing within 12 months of donation are eligible to donate if the tattoo was applied by a state regulated entity with sterile needles and non-reused ink. Individuals who have undergone ear or body piercing within 12 months of donation are eligible to donate if the piercing was done using single-use equipment.
Defer for 12 months after completion of treatment any individual with a history of syphilis or gonorrhea or with a history of diagnosis or treatment for syphilis or gonorrhea in the past 12 months.
Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact a man who has had sex with another man during the past 12 months.
Defer for 12 months from the most recent contact a female who has had sex during the past 12 months with a man who has had sex with another man in the past 12 months.

Lexus unveiled the new GS at the prestigious 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. The car will reach the UK market in 2012.
The new Lexus GS brings a more engaging driving experience, bolder design and a more spacious, contemporary interior, heralding a new chapter in the history of Lexus.
Starting with the bold spindle grille - set to be a signature feature of future Lexus models - the new GS conveys an air of confidence. This is supported by a redesigned chassis with a wide, strong stance that clearly signals the new Lexus GS is designed to inspire and reward driver participation with crisp and precise handling.
Lexus engineers challenged themselves to develop a more spacious interior environment for the new Lexus GS. Leaving exterior dimensions virtually unchanged, they increased cabin and boot space to create a richly appointed interior that will transport passengers and their luggage in comfort, regardless of distance.
The new Lexus GS will be launched in early 2012, including hybrid and F-Sport versions. For the UK there will be the GS 450h full hybrid and GS 250 petrol engined derivatives.
Designing the new Lexus GS to be both strong and agile was a key focus of the engineering team. Their main objective was to provide a more engaging driving experience. To achieve this they created a new aerodynamic body, a wider stance and stiffer structure, a transmission with quicker changes and distinctive engine sound and exhaust note.
The revised platform is more rigid compared to the previous model thanks to an increased number of spot welds and adding laser welds in very specific locations. The track, wider by 40mm at the front and 50mm at the rear, works in combination with a revised suspension design to give a more assured stance and superior cornering performance.
The new suspension system is designed to guide the Lexus GS through corners with precision. In the front, aluminium upper and lower control arms employ larger bushings. The rear subframe has been completely redesigned to accommodate an all-new multi-link rear suspension, the improved geometry enhancing rear-end control. With the stiffer platform and lighter components, the shock absorbers can use lighter-viscosity oil, responding faster to small inputs.
The precisely sculpted exterior of new Lexus GS fuses distinctive style with engineering functionality, expressing a new generation of Lexus' design philosophy which will be applied to future models.
The signature spindle grille with its trapezoidal contours integrates into the aggressive front bumper to allow for efficient airflow. This distinctive Lexus design feature, combined with the deep-set, high-tech headlamps and L-shaped LED daytime running lamps, express the vehicle's confident and dynamic character. The headlamps use a projector beam design, adding a strong, chiseled appearance and excellent illumination.
From the side, the GS projects the image of a spacious performance saloon with a road-hugging stance. The tapered lower door sills and the short front overhang give the vehicle a sense of motion while width-enhancing wheel arches add an athletic stance, suggesting the vehicle's dynamic abilities.
Painstaking attention to detail has been applied to the Lexus GS cabin to create a balance of luxury, technological amenity and emotional design. Focused around the driver and the driving experience, it also provides more space for all occupants, increasing the comfort of both front and rear passengers. The new layout of the long, sculpted dash gives the driver and front passenger a sense of roominess through its clean centre stack and large high-resolution display screen. Most of the comfort and convenience controls such as audio and climate are relocated to provide a cleaner and more sophisticated dash layout.
Among the class-leading 10 airbags in the new Lexus GS, there are knee airbags for both driver and front passenger. Rear seat occupants have seat-mounted side airbags, and all four outboard occupants are equipped with side curtain airbags.
Options include a pre-collision system, which uses the dynamic radar cruise control system to provide early warning of upcoming objects that might result in a collision. The system also uses a first-in-class infrared camera to monitor the driver's eyes. If the driver is not looking forward when a collision appears imminent, the system will sound a warning sooner than otherwise. If the driver still does not respond and make the appropriate manoeuvre, the system will initiate braking up to two seconds prior to impact, helping to lessen the severity of the collision.
Other available safety systems include a Night Vision System that enhances driver visibility in the dark; Head-Up Display (HUD); a Blind Spot Monitor that helps detect vehicles in rear/side blind spots; and Lane Keep Assist (LKA) with Lane Departure Warning (LDW). Lexus GS is the first in its segment to offer LKA with active steering torque to provide a small assistance in maintaining course, while the LDW feature alerts drivers if they begin to drift out of their lane.
Next-generation Lexus multimedia brings a host of standard entertainment and connectivity enhancements, including enhanced Bluetooth® capability with automatic phonebook download and streaming audio.

The Muse/超いんらん やればやるほどいい気持ち
Posted on April 7, 2016 by kevingilvear
Chō Inran: Yareba Yaruhodo Iikimoch, 2008
Lying on his deathbed, Takashima's (Koji Makamura) life is about to flash before his eyes. Confronting a mysterious young woman (Yuria Hidaka) at a lonely beach, who responds only with "Eiga" when asked of her name, he is soon whisked away to recount a life spent dreaming of making the best movies he could, as key fragments from his youth and adulthood mark the development of his tremulous journey toward defining his career.
The Muse's opening title proudly proclaims that we are now watching the 100th film from industry veteran Yutaka Ikejima. Twenty-three years since making his directorial debut for theatres (he was acting as early as 1981 and subsequently produced adult videos), his contribution to Japanese cinema, in general, has been nothing short of outstanding. The Pink Grand Prix acknowledged the importance of this feat by honouring him in 2008, an accolade which was further sweetened with The Muse taking the Best Film prize, Best Screenplay for Daisuke Goto, Best Score for Hitomi Oba and Best Actress for Riri Koda and Yuria Hidaka.
Filmmaking is a fascinating process and one that's perhaps easily taken for granted by many audiences. Throughout the years, documentation on the trials and tribulations of getting from page to screen have provided riveting insights into the dizzying heights and spectacular pitfalls faced by director and crew. Some artists have found alternative ways to express the hardships of realizing their vision, notably via the Metafilm approach; dating as far back as the forties, though arguably popularized decades later, with seminal contributions from directors like Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut, it's a technique that has become all-too-prevalent today.
In the pink industry, writers and directors continually seek new ways to challenge genre rulings: providing a set quota of sex scenes and completing shoots on a minimal budget within the space of a week, they are otherwise given free artistic reign to explore whatever their minds can conjure up. It's a commendable system, which welcomes diversity, although like any other tests the will of those who choose to base their livelihoods around it. An indebted Ikejima and Goto seek to find their own Anna Karina in Shintoho's The Muse; a film about filmmaking that's unlikely to ever be held in the same kind of esteem as those seen from the French New Wave pioneers, but one that's no less heartfelt in a rapidly moving industry that remains strict and arduous.
It's with pathos, then, that the words of Samuel Fuller and Eric Rohmer bookend Ikejima's milestone feature, the significance of their philosophies not only being integral to the art of filmmaking itself but so too their influence on the director's approach in putting together what is undoubtedly one of his most personal works to date. After all, how does a man act in over five-hundred movies, direct over one-hundred of them and still find inspiration today? The pairing of he and Daisuke Goto is a solid one, as Goto's screenplay marks an important journey of discovery, neatly matched by a pacey sense of direction which takes the viewer through a series of vignette-like sequences.
Pooling his resources as one of the pink film industry's leading spokesmen, Ikejima surrounds himself with a string of talent, placing onscreen other well-established, creative figures in the field, who add authenticity to his vision by re-enacting a typical day's shoot on actual ADR and editing stages. Although such moments are marginal, given the feature's commitments to other areas – some creatively filmed sex scenes, which often work tremendously well as scenes within scenes – these provide some of its more amusing pieces, from the post-dubbing of grunts and moans to tempers flying on set as actors struggle to convey their emotions for the benefit of delivering a titillating encounter.
Such insights into the daunting task of making movies to entertain are bolstered by an overarching study on the value of one's self. The non-linear structure of Daisuke Goto's reflective script effectively illustrates the continual search for inspiration, as repeated in the referencing of Godot, as a young Takashima searches for his ideal muse. The women who enter his life provide him with fleeting moments of creativity, only for him to discard their feelings and needs in the pursuit of cinematic perfection. Koji Makimura and Naoyuki Chiba excel in their roles as the conflicted artist, remaining wholly likable in the selling of the life of a man filled with selfishness, frustration, and regret, who didn't realize his own worth until the very end. Co-stars Riri Koda, Erina Aoyama and Yuria Hidaka also startle with their natural performances, which is high even for pink standards.
Fellini once said, "You only exist in what you do". It's in how we craft what we want to say that's more important than the inspiration which fuels creativity itself. Yutaka Ikejima has arrived at that crossroad it seems. The Muse isn't just a great pink film, it's a poetically played introspection, which deals with the concept of artistic integrity and our continual pursuit in finding answers to life's meaning. Regardless of its roots, it certainly deserves to go down as one of the most life-affirming pieces put to film.

Island paradise's dark secrets spawn rum-fuelled Fringe hit
A working holiday in the Mediterranean 'island paradise' of Malta saw two British theatre-makers uncover dark secrets and weird politics… all of which inspired their award-winning Fringe show featuring a live dog, rum and sea shanties.
Suzie Keen
"Like a live rum-fuelled documentary," is how UK-based Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole describe Sh!t Theatre Drink Rum with Expats.
The show – which sold out at last year's Edinburgh Fringe and has won a string of awards, including Holden Street Theatres' Edinburgh Fringe Award for 2019 – has been described as raucous and charming, but at the same time explores issues like migration, corruption, and the nature of "home".
It all started, as Biscuit and Mothersole tell InDaily, with a Brexit-year trip to Malta in which they expected to celebrate their final year as Europeans by drinking rum with expats and performing at The Pub.
Clearly, what happens in Malta doesn't stay in Malta. So – in a nutshell – what did happen in Malta?
We were invited by our Maltese friend Charlie Cauchi to come to Malta and perform as part of Valletta European Capital of Culture 2018. We were put on residency at The Pub, an old expat drinking-hole (and famous death-place of actor Oliver Reed, which they are VERY proud of).
We were asked to make a show about what we found there, to be performed in The Pub later that year as a one-off show for the Capital of Culture year. We genuinely thought we'd have a free holiday, get paid, get drunk and go home and forget about it. In fact, we'd already started work on another show called No Refunds, which was about the lottery – we went as far as having a human-sized hamster wheel made for that, which nearly killed us live on stage during a work-in-progress.
However, what we found in Malta was unforgettable and we scrapped the other project to work on this show instead.
What were the "weird politics" and dark secrets you discovered on the island?
In the in-flight magazine on the first plane out there, we discovered an advert for "Golden Passports" – Malta is one of only a few European Union countries that are selling European passports. For "just" 650,000 Euros ($1.075 million), anyone can buy a Maltese passport and therefore have access to freedom of movement across the EU.
At the same time, Malta is receiving a lot of refugees and asylum seekers who leave Libya in small boats and risk crossing the Med. Thanks to a new European law called "Operation Sophia", EU boats are no longer allowed to rescue them. Instead, they must hand them back to the Libyan Coastguard and to Libya, where there are many accounts of torture, human trafficking and other horrific things. Any money that the EU had been spending on rescuing people in the Med instead was diverted to paying the Libyan Coastguard to keep people in Libya. The people who make it to Malta and therefore Europe are treated very differently to the British "expats" drinking at The Pub.
By total coincidence we also happened to be in Malta for the anniversary of the (at the time) unsolved murder of political journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia. She was assassinated by a car bomb outside her house. We met people who knew her and worked with her, and we looked into her investigations – some of which were digging into the Golden Passport scheme. We went to the marches, to her hometown, and visited the memorial for her in Valletta town centre that mysteriously is removed each night.
In the last couple of weeks, a lot has come out about her assassination – the Malteste Prime Minister has resigned, cabinet ministers have been accused and her work has been vindicated. We will be updating the end of the show to reflect the ongoing revelations.
Drink Rum with Expats is set during the year of Brexit, and it sounds like you met a lot of expat Brits on Malta who had already made their own exit. What drove most of them to leave the UK?
Many of the British expats we met at The Pub had voted Leave, but also wanted to personally remain living in Europe. They wanted Britain to "take back control" but had no intention of ever moving home and leaving the "sun, sea and fiscal freedom" (as they called it).
They were not worried about their status being affected once Brexit happened. There seemed to be a lot of double-think going on – they were totally convinced that because they were British, they would always be allowed to live where they wanted, in a way that they wanted.

How do all these experiences play out on the stage in your Fringe show?
The show is all set in The Pub. We are serving behind the bar as the audience come in (free beer!). The audience members live our discoveries with us – we have photos and videos of our trips to Malta, and the audience meet everyone we met through audio and pictures as well as storytelling and song. It's like a live rum-fuelled documentary.
We're told to expect "a live dog, live rum, live sea shanties and a solid amount of holiday snaps". Really? A live dog … and rum? For you or the audience?
For everyone! Obviously you don't have to drink the rum or pet the dog if you don't want to. (Just a hint, though: if you do want rum, the brave people who sit in the front row always get rewarded first).
Amid the laughs and high spirits, what are the lessons to be learned about nationhood, migration and supposedly idyllic dream destinations?
We're not intending to lecture anyone, just to show our discoveries of one very specific situation which raised questions for us that resonated beyond the island– why are some people "expats" and others "immigrants"? Who is responsible for whom? Where do the borders of responsibility lie? How much are we all ignoring? What can we even do? Should we all just have a beer and try to forget?
Sh!t Theatre's Drink Rum with Expats will be presented at Holden Street Theatres from February 11 to March 15 as part of the 2020 Adelaide Fringe. It's recommended for ages 18+. See more InDaily Fringe and Festival stories and interviews here.
