TAU Scientist Awarded U.S. Patent for Novel Coronavirus Vaccine Design
The patent, approved in March, covers a vaccine that targets the most vulnerable point in a coronavirus's structure, through which it penetrates human cells
Researchers worldwide are racing at breakneck speed to develop potential vaccines and drugs to fight the novel coronavirus, SARS-Cov-2. Now, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a patent to Tel Aviv University's Prof. Jonathan Gershoni of the School of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology at TAU's George S. Wise Faculty of Life Sciences for his innovative vaccine design for the corona family of viruses.
The vaccine targets the novel coronavirus's Achilles' heel, its Receptor Binding Motif (RBM), a critical structure that enables the virus to bind to and infect a target cell.
According to Prof. Gershoni, the vaccine would reconstruct the coronavirus's RBM, a tiny feature of its "spike" protein. Though the virus uses many different proteins to replicate and invade cells, the "spike" protein is the major surface protein that it uses to bind to a receptor — another protein that acts like a doorway into a human cell. After the spike protein binds to the human cell receptor, the viral membrane fuses with the human cell membrane, allowing the genome of the virus to enter human cells and begin infection.
"We have been working on coronaviruses for the last 15 years, developing a method of reconstructing and reconstituting the RBM feature of the spike protein in SARS CoV and subsequently in MERS CoV," explains Prof. Gershoni. "The moment the genome of the new virus was published in early January 2020, we began the process of reconstituting the RBM of SARS CoV2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and expect to have a reconstituted RBM of the new virus soon. This will be the basis for a new vaccine, which could be ready for use within a year to a year and a half."
The spike protein is quite large, containing about 1,200 amino acids. Some researchers have limited their research to a region of the spike known as the receptor binding domain (RBD) that comprises some 200 amino acids. However, the problem is that these relatively large areas have a variety of targets, and the immune system produces antibodies for all of them indiscriminately – reducing the effectiveness of a potential vaccine.
The RBM, a highly complex three dimensional structure, is only 50 amino acids long. Functionally reconstituting such a structure would be very challenging, but it would be an extremely effective basis of a vaccine, says Prof. Gershoni.
"The smaller the target and the focus of the attack, the greater the effectiveness of the vaccine," he adds. "The virus takes far-reaching measures to hide its RBM from the human immune system, but the best way to 'win the war' is to develop a vaccine that specifically targets the virus's RBM."
Prof. Gershoni's team has completed their initial steps toward reconstituting the new SARS CoV2's RBM. The reconstitution of the new SARS CoV2's RBM and its use as a basis for a new vaccine is covered by an additional pending patent application, filed by Ramot, TAU's technology transfer arm, to the USPTO.
"Now that we have received serum samples we should be able to isolate RBM-based vaccine candidates in the next month or two," concludes Prof. Gershoni. "The discovery and production of a functional RBM for the new coronavirus is fundamental and critical for the production of the vaccine we propose.
"Our successful isolation and reconstitution of such a functional RBM will allow the industry to incorporate it into a vaccine, which will be produced by a pharmaceutical company. Development of such an RBM-based vaccine should take months and then would need to be tested in Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials which would then take up to a year."

Dr. Muranaka is a medical doctor and journalist, lecturer at the Graduate School of Kyoto University School of Medicine. She is a graduate of Hitotsubashi University (M.A. in sociology) and Hokkaido University School of Medicine (M.D). She is a WHO consultant, and the winner of the John Maddox Prize 2017 co-hosted by "Nature".
In October, 2015, Dr. Muranaka jolted the Japanese society believing in the dangers of the HPV vaccine by publishing articles "Did the HPV vaccine really cause these violent fits?'', "Is there science behind the HPV vaccine drug injury theory?" , "How can we save the girls purportedly suffering from HPV vaccines?" , and re-opened public dialogue about the safety of the HPV vaccination. On Nov.28, 2016, Wall Street Journal published her op-ed Stopping the Spread of Japan's Antivaccine Panic".
Regardless of the criticism from the anti-vaxxers and the legal attack from the doctor, who claimed the dangers of the HPV vaccines with his "one-mouse experiment", she received the John Maddox Prize in November 2017, which is given to the individual who promoted sound science and evidence on a matter of public interest, despite facing difficulty and hostility in doing so. Her story about the John Maddox Prize was covered in BBC, Guardian, Nature, Science, Cell, Cornell Alliance for Science,and VOX..
On Feb 2018, she finally published her first book "A Hundred Thousand Wombs". The book deals with the HPV debate in Japan and shows the devastating effects it has had and how this debate is spreading beyond Japan.

Motorcycle crash occurs on Hwy 12
By Melissa | May 19, 2015
On Wednesday May 13, 2015 at 5:03 p.m., the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office responded to a motorcycle v. car crash on USH 12 at 200th St. in the Town of Hammond.
According to witnesses, a 2002 Volkswagon Beetle, driven by Bridget A. Cramer, age 31 from River Falls, WI, was going west on USH 12 and going to make a left turn onto 200th St. A 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by Michael L. Halderson, age 34 from Baldwin WI, was also traveling west on USH 12. The motorcycle collided with the back of the car. Halderson was ejected from the motorcycle and landed on the roadway. The motorcycle came to rest in the middle of the road. The car stopped on 200th St at the intersection with USH 12.
Halderson was transported to the Baldwin Hospital by Baldwin EMS and was then airlifted by Life Link III helicopter to Regions Hospital in St. Paul with serious injuries. Halderson was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Bridget Cramer was not injured.
USH 12 was closed for approximately two (2) hours while deputies conducted their investigation of the crash scene.
Assisting at the scene were Baldwin EMS, United Fire, and the Hammond Police Dept.
The crash remains under investigation by the St. Croix County Sheriff's Office.

Preparedness and a response plan for cyber attacks are now just as critical as risk mitigation strategies, according to Willis Towers Watson's (WTW) transportation risk index.
The advisory, broking and solutions firm surveyed 350 senior executives from the air, land and sea sector to measure the industry's current risk environment.
The respondents saw cyber and data privacy breaches as the top risk for the sector and were worried about third party suppliers being vulnerable to cyber attacks.
WTW said that technological developments meant that supply chains were more connected and reliant on technology than before.
It also said that being prepared for cyber and data breaches were just as important to a company's performance as being resilient to cyber attacks.
WTW head of transportation industry Mark Hue Williams said: "The transportation world is rapidly evolving, so risk strategies need to be responsive.
"Regulation and technological advances are demanding new operating models while, simultaneously, hostile actors are mounting attacks to take advantage of the industry's strategic role in the global economy.
The executives saw geopolitical instability and regulatory uncertainty as the highest-rated category of risk that would impact their company over the next ten years.

Re: How much does sexual orientation define societal roles?
As a gay male who is just now discovering my sexuality and entering into an adult world where I can see the affects of LBGT groups and other organizations, I am not totally convinced they are always helpful. The problem with all minorities is the idea that many leaders of the minority want to exist as a separate group. Whether it is African Americans, Latin Americans, Muslim Americans, or Gay Americans, every minority group seems to have the couple of bad seeds that get the attention for wanting to keep from just being Americans. LBGT groups can be a useful resource, but often gay movements help further the stereotypes. For example, an LBGT group that helps promote AIDs awareness and research and helps with teens questioning their sexuality is an amazing thing. On the flip side, we do have LBGT groups that put on these fancy gay pride parades where gay men are half naked and dress like women. These groups actually hurt the LBGT cause more than help because give the people that are afraid of homosexuality more proof that we are not normal. And while keeping our own identity as Gay Americans is important, we must never be so foolish as to think that being just Americans is not important.


Northern Meats says Merry Christmas with Delicious Treats!
Smokehouse Glenn has a fine way of saying, "Merry Christmas" for the holiday with two unique items from his store, Northern Meats. Dearborn Holiday Smoked Kielbasa and his own Habanero Snack Sticks.
Glenn just recently began making these Habanero Snack Sticks in his Test Kitchen at Northern Meats and don't let the name fool ya!!! These snack sticks have a slight kick to them but nothing like what you would associate with the habanero pepper; a great all around flavor that are delicious!!!!
A lifetime involvement with Dearborn Sausage Co., Glenn sliced up some limited edition 'holiday" kielbasa which is a course ground mixture of pork with an extra amount of garlic for flavoring. I've eaten kielbasa alot growing up in New York and Dearborn's recipe is the best tasting brand. I am so glad I brought in some Guilden's Spice Brown Mustard for Heather to try because that became our dipping sauce for the kielbasa….Mmmmmm!
Glenn has a fresh seafood connection added to his store with a wide variety of seafood ranging from King Crab, lobster tails, jumbo gulf shrimp, jumbo scallops, oyster cups, frog legs, escargot and perch. One can truly plan a wonderful "Surf & Turf" dinner by making a stop to see Glenn at Northern Meats – Happy Holiday Dining!!!!

Cannot escape from this point for a while yet - Poem by Pandora
__ Cannot escape from this point for a while yet
We enjoy traffic jams
Our daily life is our school lesson
Have a bathe and wash your clothes while it rains
Blow out and save your candles while the moon shines
Do business while waiting for the green light
We have all sorts of news in our arms
Eleven, Voice, Modern, Myanmar Times
What happened in Letpadaung Hill
What will happen to the mobile internet rate
Murder cases during the month
Hooligans wreaking havoc in downtown
The more horrible the news is, the more sensational it is, isn' it
Or to hang in your new big car
Here's sabe, zun, ngwe, shwe flowers
Still fresh though dipped in the water since last night
By the way thazin track is also damn fresh
Part 1, 2 and 3 are on hand if you'd like
What! thazin track is no flower
Let it be if you have no idea
Then what's your line, politics or economics
Then here's the draft Telecommunications Law
Or the Constitution is also available
Still on sale though printed long ago
Yet I don't know whether it is still in good shape
The Foreign Investment Law is just released
Obtainable in Burmese and in English
We've got Burma maps and Yangon maps too
You can get lost even in your own regions and streets
And a roadmap will still be handy
Until it is replaced with a new one
Will you buy at least something, brother
You cannot escape from this traffic point for a while yet
At least, a Daw Suu Calendar
Or a fighting peacock flag
Just a souvenir

(Translated from the Burmese by the author, edited by Mg Tha Noe)
*Pandora was born in 1974 in Burma delta. As an English major at R*angoon University, she wrote poems and short stories for the campus magazines under several pen names, all of which she has now forgotten. She took a hiatus from writing when she came to Singapore to study in 2001 but bounced back on the scene in early 2007 as literary blogger Pandora. Since then her poems, essays and short stories have been seen in online Burmese journals and books and in printed media inside Burma. Recently she has returned to Rangoon for a change after a ten-year spell in Singapore.
The ICC: Protection for the Rohingya?
Written by: Regina Paulose, J.D., LLM, International Crime and Justice and author at acontrarioicl.com
In November 2012, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the ICC released its Report on Preliminary Examination Activities 2012, which examines situations in various countries for acts which could potentially amount to crimes against humanity and/or war crimes. Some of the countries mentioned in this report are North Korea, Columbia, and Afghanistan.[1]
While one could question some of the cases the OTP is currently investigating,[2] this author takes the position that there are other atrocious human rights situations which need the immediate attention of the ICC. In particular, the OTP should begin to make efforts to investigate and address the continued persecution and abuse of the Rohingya population in Burma.[3]
The Status Quo Conflict and Response
According to some scholars, the Rohingya's origins are not entirely clear.[4] Setting aside this debate, the Rohingya mainly reside in Burma on the western side. The Rohingya are a Muslim minority in Burma where the majority of the population is Buddhist. It is estimated that there are currently 800,000 to 1 million Rohingya living in Burma. Since the 1970's the regime in Burma has been trying to drive out or restrict the Rohingya.[5] This sentiment was put into law in 1982 when it created a Citizenship Law, which mandates that a person must prove their Burmese ancestry dating back to 1823 in order to have freedom of movement and access to other basic rights such as education in the country.[6] (Recall: Armenian Genocide and Nazi Germany). This law is one of the prime reasons why the Rohingya have become "stateless."
The Rohingya have been the target of violence and recent clashes, which has left "dozens dead and tens of thousands internally displaced."[7] One does not have to look further than the last 8 months to truly see how the regime continues to treat the Rohingya. In June 2012, an outbreak in communal violence between the Buddhist and Muslim Rakhine and the Rohingya lead to massive sweeps resulting in detention of Rohingya men and boys. (Recall the massacre at Srebrenica). Reports indicated that these groups were subject to ill treatment and were held "incommunicado."[8] In October 2012, satellite images showed that homes of the Rohingya were being destroyed by security forces. The security forces then overwhelmed and cornered the Rohingya to drive them out of the area. This destruction is on top of the gruesome reports of beheading and killing of women and children.[9] (Recall: Rwanda).
Faced with no other alternatives and with no access to justice in their country, the Rohingya have begun to flee only to be met with rejection from other countries. On the first day of 2013, some members of the Rohingya group were intercepted by Thai authorities and were deported back to Burma.[10] The Thai Navy is under orders to send them away from Thailand. Bangladesh has also expressed that it is not willing to accept Rohingya into their country.
Some countries however are reaching out to the Rohingya. Malaysia does accept the Rohingya as refugees. Iran recently sent humanitarian aid in order to help and has called upon the UN to take action.[11] Regionally, ASEAN offered to conduct "talks" but that was "rejected." The regime explained that it sees the escalating violence as an "internal problem."[12]
After a close examination of these events, the U.S. Presidential visit in November 2012, made the waters murky. President Obama felt that Burma was "moving in a better direction" and that there were "flickers of progress." During the visit the President met with an advocate of the Rohingya population. While President Obama stated that his visit was not an endorsement of the current government, simple questions arise as to what the U.S. would be willing to do (or not do) to prevent this sectarian violence from escalating.[13] Not surprisingly, after the visit, Thein Sein made 2013 human rights news, when his regime admitted to using air raids against the Kachin rebels who are battling the government for control over certain territories.[14]
The ICC and its potential involvement
There are two interesting points of discussion that this scenario creates. The first is how the OTP would be able to meet jurisdictional requirements if it were to seriously consider prosecution. The controversial propio motu powers of the Prosecutor would allow her to investigate this situation. Articles 13, 15, and 53 of the Rome Statute require temporal jurisdiction, territorial or personal jurisdiction, and material jurisdiction. In addition, there are requirements in the Statute concerning admissibility. Burma is not a state party to the Rome Statute. The real challenge with this case would be with meeting the territorial or personal jurisdiction elements. Of course the easiest way to meet this requirement would be if the UN Security Council (UNSC) would be willing to refer the case as it did with Bashir of North Sudan.[15] As stated above, the U.S. Presidential visit does not make clear at this time what the U.S. position would be, especially considering the U.S. also eased sanctions on the regime in November.
Another interesting point of discussion also concerns the potential charges. This author believes that this is a strong case for various charges under crimes against humanity. Charges under war crimes would prove to be interesting, depending on how the situation is viewed. As previously noted, the regime has continuously called the situation with the Rohingya an "internal problem." The situation with the Rohingya can be distinguished from the conflict with the Kachin rebel/soldiers who are fighting for territory and independence.
Some other kind of action is now necessary besides dialogue and commentary from high level UN officials. Our cries of "never again" have become hollow. The purpose of the ICC should be to facilitate deterrence in addition to punish perpetrators of grave crimes. The international community waits for these situations to become so grave that every action becomes too late. We cannot say we are students of history, when we continually are faced with the same situations over again and repeat the same mistakes.

'Htwet Yat Poute' [Great Escape] - Poem by Khin Aung Aye
___Htwet Yat Poute* [Great Escape]by Khin Aung Aye
(Translated by Aileen Ei Pwint Phyu, OBA member)
We say we have our victory
And we dance.
Whether once in a decade
Or a score of years,
We gather, and dance.
Whilst in secret
Our subconscious admits defeat,
And with it everyday
We wipe our eyes in discreet.
Chilton Grove, London 19:04
* The translation 'Great Escape' does not do justice to the poem's title. Htwat Yat Poute refers to a term used in ancient rituals when people believed their souls have transcended the human body to acquire a better life. The term was also used metaphorically by Ba Maw and General Aung San in founding Bama Htwet Yat Gaing (Freedom Bloc), a political organization established in 1939 against colonial forces, in support of Burmese independence and democracy.

Michał Jan Heydenreich (Heidenreich) ps. "Kruk" (ur. 19 września 1831 w Warszawie, zm. 9 kwietnia 1886 we Lwowie) – powstańczy generał w powstaniu styczniowym, podpułkownik armii carskiej.

Życiorys
Pochodził z Warszawy, był synem spolonizowanego Niemca i Francuzki. Ukończył Mikołajową Akademię Sztabu Generalnego w Sankt Petersburgu. W 1862 jako podpułkownik przeszedł do sztabu 2 Dywizji Kawalerii, stacjonującej w tzw. Kongresówce.
Członek konspiracyjnego Koła Oficerów Polskich założonego przez Zygmunta Sierakowskiego w Sankt Petersburgu. Wszedł w skład Wydziału Wojny Komitetu Centralnego Narodowego.

Po wybuchu powstania, latem 1863 roku został mianowany naczelnikiem wojennym województw podlaskiego i lubelskiego. Podporządkował sobie mniejsze partie powstańcze. Jego oddział po przegraniu 24 lipca bitwy pod Kaniwolą, odniósł zwycięstwo w drugiej bitwie pod Chruśliną (4 sierpnia), 8 sierpnia rozbił w bitwie pod Żyrzynem rosyjski konwój poczty pieniężnej osłaniany przez 550 żołnierzy i 2 działa. Wziął licznych jeńców, zdobył przesyłkę pieniężną w wysokości 200 000 rubli (140 000). Było to największe zwycięstwo Polaków w tym powstaniu. Rząd Narodowy rozkazem dziennym nr 11 z 22 sierpnia 1863 mianował podpułkownika Heidenreicha generałem. 24 sierpnia poniósł klęskę w bitwie pod Fajsławicami. Po niepowodzeniach wycofał się do Galicji. Stanął na czele zgrupowania, które miało przebić się z Galicji, od strony Wołynia w lubelskie. Jednak już 1 listopada, wobec rozproszenia jego oddziałów pod Poryckiem, zaniechał przeprowadzenia tej operacji. Sam ze sztabem i małą eskortą Krakusów udał się w lubelskie. Tam zebrał rozproszone siły, które jednak 25 grudnia poniosły klęskę w bitwie pod Kockiem.

W trakcie reorganizacji wojska powstańczego przez Romualda Traugutta był przewidziany na dowódcę I korpusu, jednak wobec upadku powstania nie objął funkcji i wyjechał do Francji, a potem do Wielkiej Brytanii. Wziął udział w wojnie francusko-pruskiej 1870–1871. W 1872 został zainicjowany w paryskiej loży masońskiej. Wkrótce osiadł we Lwowie, gdzie prowadził warsztat rzemieślniczy. Tam też zmarł. Został pochowany na Cmentarzu Łyczakowskim.

Zmarli powstańcy 1863 roku zostali odznaczeni przez prezydenta RP Ignacego Mościckiego 21 stycznia 1933 roku Krzyżem Niepodległości z Mieczami.

DRIFT's New work 'Coded Nature'
Studio Drift
Coded Nature explores the relationship between humans, nature and technology. An autonomously flying swarm of DRIFT blocks responds to the movement of the audience, reflecting the endless opportunities of creation in nature as well as a continuous flow of change. The work was unveiled and shown to public for the first time, at Art Basel Miami 2022.
The work illustrates how humans strive to live autonomously within sets of societal rules and conventions, and challenges the human concept of freedom. If every bird were to operate on its own, the ultimate result would be chaos. Just like birds, people find safety in being part of a group. As such, their actions must be aligned with collective mechanisms and are compelled to follow a set of rules based on which society functions. If one chooses complete individual freedom over societal effort then one can only operate aside from it, which makes us question: What is the perfect balance between the two? Is freedom an illusion?

Platonic Legislations
An Essay on Legal Critique in Ancient Greece
Authors: Dusenbury, David Lloyd
Presents a new, global interpretation of Plato's corpus by way of the task of law-making
Offers a fresh investigation of the - still contemporary - question of divine law in Plato's political thought
Shows how Plato first targets imperfections in the most celebrated Greeks law-codes
The first work - ever - to argue that Plato "executes" Socrates in the last pages of his final dialogue, the Laws
Softcover $69.99
This book discusses how Plato, one the fiercest legal critics in ancient Greece, became – in the longue durée – its most influential legislator. Making use of a vast scholarly literature, and offering original readings of a number of dialogues, it argues that the need for legal critique and the desire for legal permanence set the long arc of Plato's corpus—from the Apology to the Laws.
Modern philosophers and legal historians have tended to overlook the fact that Plato was the most prolific legislator in ancient Greece. In the pages of his Republic and Laws, he drafted more than 700 statutes. This is more legal material than can be credited to the archetypal Greek legislators—Lycurgus, Draco, and Solon.
The status of Plato's laws is unique, since he composed them for purely hypothetical cities. And remarkably, he introduced this new genre by writing hard-hitting critiques of the Greek ideal of the sovereignty of law.
Writing in the milieu in which immutable divine law vied for the first time with volatile democratic law, Plato rejected both sources of law, and sought to derive his laws from what he called 'political technique' (politikê technê). At the core of this technique is the question of how the idea of justice relates to legal and institutional change.
Filled with sharp observations and bold claims, Platonic Legislations shows that it is possible to see Plato—and our own legal culture—in a new light
"In this provocative, intelligent, and elegant work D. L. Dusenbury has posed crucial questions not only as regards Plato's thought in the making, but also as regards our contemporaneity."—Giorgio Camassa, University of Udine
"There is a tension in Greek law, and in Greek legal thinking, between an understanding of law as unchangeable and authoritative, and a recognition that formal rules are often insufficient for the interpretation of reality, and need to be constantly revised to match it. Dusenbury's book illuminates the sophistication of Plato's legal thought in its engagement with this tension, and explores the potential of Plato's reflection for modern legal theory."—Mirko Canevaro, The University of Edinburgh
David Lloyd Dusenbury is a research fellow of the De Wulf-Mansion Centre at the University of Leuven. He is the author of a book on Augustine of Hippo, The Space of Time (2014), and has written scholarly articles on the legal thought of Carl Schmitt and Giorgio Agamben.

Blood vessels within a sensory area of the mammalian brain loop and connect in unexpected ways, a new map has revealed. The study describes vascular architecture within a well-known region of the cerebral cortex and explores what that structure means for functional imaging of the brain and the onset of a kind of dementia.
David Kleinfeld, professor of physics and neurobiology at the University of California, San Diego, and colleagues mapped blood vessels in an area of the mouse brain that receives sensory signals from the whiskers.
The organization of neural cells in this brain region is well-understood, as was a pattern of blood vessels that plunge from the surface of the brain and return from the depths, but the network in between was uncharted. Yet these tiny arterioles and venules deliver oxygen and nutrients to energy-hungry brain cells and carry away wastes.
The team traced this fine network by filling the vessels with a fluorescent gel. Then, using an automated system, developed by co-author Philbert Tsai, that removes thin layers of tissue with a laser while capturing a series of images to reconstructed the three-dimensional network of tiny vessels.
The project focused on a region of the cerebral cortex in which the nerve cells are so well known that they can be traced to individual whiskers. These neurons cluster in "barrels," one per whisker, a pattern of organization seen in other sensory areas as well.
The scientists expected each whisker barrel to match up with its own blood supply, but that was not the case. The blood vessels don't line up with the functional structure of the neurons they feed.
"This was a surprise, because the blood vessels develop in tandem with neural tissue," Kleinfeld said. Instead, microvessels beneath the surface loop and connect in patterns that don't obviously correspond to the barrels.
To search for patterns, they turned to a branch of mathematics called graph theory, which describes systems as interconnected nodes. Using this approach, no hidden subunits emerged, demonstrating that the mesh indeed forms a continous network they call the "angiome."
The vascular maps traced in this study raise a question of what we're actually seeing in a widely used kind of brain imaging called functional MRI, which in one form measures brain activity by recording changes in oxygen levels in the blood. The idea is that activity will locally deplete oxygen. So they wiggled whiskers on individual mice and found that optical signals associated with depleted oxygen centered on the barrels, where electrical recordings confirmed neural activity. Thus brain mapping does not depend on a modular arrangement of blood vessels.

I'm mid upgrade of my drivetrain and shifting, with a plan to put the current shifters and mechs onto my winter bike. That'll mean my winter bike (Cube Peleton Race) goes from 10 to 11 speed and will improve the shifting. The mechs and shifters are easy, however I have hit a snag with the old FSA Gossamer BBright cranket that I was planning to use. Does any know of a BB that would allow it to be fitted in a "normal" ie threaded standard size frame, or am I going to have to shell out (pun intended) for a new crankset for the old bike?
There are no BBRight Crank Sets .. there are just special BBRight bottom brackets ore other dimensions to fit crank types ..

Newly crowned NSW super welterweight boxing champion Troy O'Meley and his camp know he has a devastating knockout punch. But they are deliberately leaving it in the locker room as the 25-year-old chases his goal of a world title belt. "A big right-hand hook will take you around the block, a great jab will take you around the world," O'Meley said of the philosophy he took into his title fight against experienced and tough fighter Raymond Ingram in Newcastle on Friday night. A super-fit and controlled O'Meley stuck to the plan, fine-tuned through a month-long training camp in Thailand where he spent four years from 16 with the Thai National Boxing team, to take a unanimous points decision. "All the support from Cessnock has been unbelievable. Without that support I would not have been able to get to Thailand and prepare as I needed to," O'Meley said after the fight at Wests City. "The plan was to work on my jab and be controlled. That's what wins world titles. "A lot of hard training in Thailand with my dad and Bob Larden, it's all worked. "My jab is going to take me around the world. My whole life I've wanted to be a world champ." O'Meley transformed the dream to a goal after watching a video of former Australian boxer Jeff Harding beating British WBC world light heavyweight champion Dennis Andries for the title in London in 1991. "My dad showed me a video of Jeff Harding fighting for the world title. He boxed the guy for 12 rounds. He got beaten in 10 of those rounds, but in the 11th he came out and changed it. "His coach said to him 'Do you want to win this, what are you doing?'. 'Change this and change that' and he went out and did it. "When I saw that I saw what your brain can do. If you set goals and keep that goal and strive for it, you will get it. "That's why we did the training camp. I stuck to my jab like our plan was and it won me the fight." After a week's break, O'Meley will be back in training and his camp will be working hard to secure him the fights to reach his ultimate goal of a world title belt. "I'll be chasing some big fights now, whether it's an Australian or Commonwealth title," O'Meley said. "The aim is to build towards a world title. "We're going all the way, that's it." Asked after the fight by the ring announcer who he would like to challenge, O'Meley singled out Australian light middleweight champion Tim Tszyu, the son of former world champion Kosta Tszyu. "He has a terrific record and is great fighter, but I believe I can challenge and beat fighters of his quality," he said. "If you want to be world champion you have to beat world ranked fighters." The title win takes O'Meley's professional record to seven wins from seven fights.

Izzy is walking the epic route to fundraise for Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SOBS) Cumbria, in remembrance of her good friend Helena, whom she lost to suicide five years ago.
Along the way, Izzy is being joined by friends and family members every day and was joined by Ed, the family dog, who is doing a great job in keeping Izzy company (even if he does keep running off to dive into every stream he sees). "It's nice to have different people join me along the way, it makes the walk easier and more enjoyable; the support I'm receiving from friends, family and fellow walkers is very encouraging".
Izzy has raised £1,100 for SOBS Cumbria so far. You can show your support by making a contribution to her JustGiving page Alternatively, you can donate £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 directly to SOBS Cumbria by texting 'SOBS00 £[insert amount]' to 70070; you can choose a different method of donation here.

The Sign Authority, Inc, located in Wheaton Il recently designed, printed and installed temporary "Coming Soon" window graphics for Razi Orthodontics in Wheaton, IL. Razi Orthodontics is opening up a brand-new office and The Sign Authority helped them with all of their signage needs. Razi Orthodontics provides exceptional service with minimal wait times because they value your time and want to provide fast treatment and fewer visits. They also work with the local schools to help educate children and sponsor events. Razi Orthodontics wants you to smile BIG!
The Sign Authority works with businesses that are just starting out or moving their locations with all types of signage. Razi Orthodontics needed an electrical building sign, a panel in their pylon sign and interior dimensional letters and logos. We were able to provide them with a site survey, and a quick quote to get them started. It does take some time to pull permits for the electrical building signs, so in the meantime, temporary window graphics are the perfect way to let people know that your business is going to open soon. It gets potential customers excited about having a new business in their area.
Using the logo provided by our customer, we designed this eye-catching window graphic. Bright bold colors found in their logo are central to the design elements. The website and phone number were added in bold block letters and numbers that can easily be seen from the street.
If you are planning on moving your location or opening a new location for your business, temporary window graphics to announce you are "Coming Soon" is the perfect way to entice new customers to contact you. You might even have customers waiting in line even before you open your doors!
Give us a call at 630-462-9850 or visit our website at www.thesignauthority.com to see some of the other temporary window graphics for "Coming Soon" locations. We will provide a complimentary site survey and consultation to help you attract new customers!

MILS CASE STUDY: Lone Working
"I run a small body repair MOT workshop. I sometimes have to leave my technician working on his own when I am out of the business, is that okay? Is there any law in this area?"
Employers who have employees who are likely to be working on their own need to carry out a risk assessment. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 ensures a duty of care on employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations also require employers to carry out a risk assessment.
In the above situation a bodyshop or MOT testing area is likely to be a relatively hazardous environment. The employer is required to consider the risks posed to a lone worker in such an environment. Where a risk assessment shows it is not possible for the work to be done safely by a lone worker, arrangements for providing help or backup should be put in place. A risk assessment might include that it is not safe for one person to work alone, examples include working in confined space or work involving electrics or other dangers where two people might be required to be present.
Precautions should be planned for foreseeable emergencies e.g. fire, equipment failure, illness and accidents etc.
The following questions should be asked by the employer:
Does the workplace present a special risk to the lone worker?
Is there a safe way in and a way out for one person? Can any temporary access equipment which is necessary, such as portable ladders or trestles, be safely handled by one person?
Can all the plant, substances and goods involved in the work be safely handled by one person? Consider whether the work involves lifting objects too large for one person or whether more than one person is needed to operate essential controls for the safe running of equipment.
Is there a risk of violence?
Are women especially at risk if they work alone?
Are young workers especially at risk if they work alone?
Is the person medically fit and suitable to work alone?
What happens if the person becomes ill, has an accident or there is an emergency?

10 Compositions (Duet) 1995, also released as Duets (1995), is a live album by composer and saxophonist Anthony Braxton with bassist Joe Fonda, recorded at Wesleyan University in 1995 and originally released on the Konnex label.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Chris Kelsey stated: This is Anthony Braxton doing what he does best -- playing and improvising on his own idiosyncratic small-group compositions, this time in duet with bassist Joe Fonda. The two also have a go at a pair of standards, which come off as well as one might expect -- you either love or hate the way Braxton interprets traditional material -- but they are heard to best advantage on the several originals written by each. ... This album is a small, rough-cut gem from the mine of available Braxton recordings.
On All About Jazz Troy Collins said:On this meeting Braxton and Fonda share ample space. Each comments on the tunes in tandem without dominating the roiling, circuitous interplay. A brilliant program addressing all aspects of the jazz tradition, Duets 1995 is a solid representation of Braxton's all-encompassing aesthetic and a wonderful introduction to an enigmatic and often misunderstood genius.

Track listing
All compositions by Anthony Braxton except where noted.
 "All of You" (Cole Porter) – 9:50
 "Rentlessness"  (Joe Fonda) – 10:29

Mirtos
All about Mirtos
"Mirtos is like a big family, and we'd like you to be a member of it" – Aléxandros Pantelákis, Mayor of Mirtos
Mirtos village has less than 600 inhabitants, and is located far away from the busy nightlife and mass tourism in the north of Crete. It is the ideal destination for a quiet holiday in beautiful surroundings. The locals live here all year round and are very friendly and welcoming. In summer, especially in the evening, they like to sit outside and say hello to the tourists.
For your daily essentials, there's no need to leave the village. Mirtos has two supermarkets, a bakery, two butchers, souvenir shops, a pharmacy and of course many Greek tavernas. The taverns are mostly located along the seafront, but can also be found in the narrow streets. Furthermore, there is a tourist office in Mirtos, where for example, you can arrange your trips.
The inhabitants of Mirtos are living primarily from small-scale tourism, but many are employed in agriculture and horticulture. Many times the meals you order in a taverna incorporate the products of the owners, such as olives and olive oil from their own olive grove, orange juice from delicious home-grown oranges and honey from their own bees.

Delivery riders to join strike over 'dangerously poor' pay
Uber Eats couriers are calling for a minimum drop fee of �5 a delivery. Photograph: Getty Images
Published: 23:30 Saturday 29 September 2018
Bike couriers working for Uber Eats are set to stage an all-day strike in Scotland this week amid complaints over pay, which they claim is often under minimum wage.
More than 50 riders will meet in central Glasgow at noon on Thursday to start the strike, which is to be held at the same time as walkouts in other UK cities including London and Cardiff.
A simultaneous strike of hospitality workers employed at chains including Wetherspoon and McDonald's will also take place.
Uber Eats riders are calling for a minimum "drop" fee of £5 a delivery, which they say would help them bring their average hourly pay up to around £10 an hour.
A spokesman for the Glasgow strike, which is working with the IWW Couriers Network that represents workers in the so-called "gig economy", said riders needed to take risks to deliver enough orders to make a living.
"Our requests are simple," he said. "A courier who is paid fairly is a courier who is safe, who can pay the bills and who doesn't need to take dangerous risks on the road.
"The gig economy companies hide behind our self-employed status. They can say it's our choice to work, that we have control of when to log on and that they have no obligation to pay us minimum wage. They can also hide behind averages, pointing to occasions when riders in any given city have averaged £9-10 per hour, ignoring the unsociable times we've had to work or how many hours we've been logged on to achieve that average."
One rider said the "boost rate" paid to riders for a delivery in Glasgow has fallen in recent months.
"It used to be around 1.3, which meant we were getting £4 per delivery and recently, over the summer, it's been more like 1.1, which leaves us with more like £2.80 to £3," he said, adding a typical rate of two deliveries an hour would be standard.
A spokesman for Uber Eats, which was last week reported to be considering an acquisition of rival Deliveroo, said there had been a temporary problem with the riders' app that meant it did not show the true "boost rate".
He said: "This summer, couriers using our app in Scotland took home an average of between £9 and £10 per hour, with many also using other delivery apps."

Als Meister von Astorga oder Astorga-Meister (Spanisch Maestro de Astorga) wird ein namentlich nicht bekannter spanischer Maler der Gotik bezeichnet, der Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts in der Region um León tätig war. Er erhielt seinen Notnamen nach einem Altarbild, das er für eine Kirche in Astorga geschaffen hat. Der Stil des Meisters vereinigt  Hauptströmungen der internationalen Gotik mit Einflüssen aus lokaler spanischer Kunst, zeigt aber auch bereits den Einfluss der Italienischen Renaissance. Der Meister zeigt mit seinem Werk den Beginn der Renaissance auch in der Kunst des Königreichs León. Sein Stil ist mit dem seines bisher ebenfalls nur mit dem Notnamen bekannten Zeitgenossen, dem Meister von Budapest, vergleichbar.

Electronic Medical Record Whack-A-Mole
Mondays… I really don't like Mondays. The only thing worse than a Monday is a Tuesday after a 3-day weekend. And the only thing worse than that is the day back to work after a week of vacation. Don't get me wrong, its not that I don't like being back at work being a doctor, its that I have to play Whack-A-Mole on the electronic medical record.
For the uninitiated, Whack-A-Mole is a carnival game where you use a giant mallet to smash down on wooden rodents that randomly briefly pop up from holes in a large table. The goal is to smack down as many of the moles as you can in a fixed amount of time. The problem is that the more moles you smack down, the more moles pop up.
So, what does a game that you play at the county fair have to do with electronic medical records? Well, the EMR has this feature called an "inbasket" where all of your patients' test results, phone messages, email messages, verbal orders for signature, and medical record updates appear. As physicians, we "clear our inbaskets" by clicking on each item then acting on it; once completed, it disappears from the inbasket. It might be phone call from a patient you have to return, or an CT scan report that you have to review, or a medication refill that you need to send in to the pharmacy.
The goal of the EMR Whack-A-Mole game is to click on everything in the inbasket so that by the end of the day, the inbasket is completely empty. On a typical Tuesday through Friday, EMR Whack-A-Mole goes at a pretty steady pace, you click on a message that a patient called about some new symptoms, call that patient, enter a telephone call note in the EMR, route an order for a medication to the patient's pharmacy, then close the telephone encounter in the inbasket. A few minutes later, a new item will pop up in the inbasket and you have to open it, review it, and act on it. On a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, EMR Whack-A-Mole is pretty do-able so that the average physician can keep up pretty easily and have an empty inbasket at the end of the day.
But Mondays are something else all together. On Mondays, EMR Whack-A-Mole is played at a furious pace. There are 2 additional weekend days of pent-up volumes of patient phone calls, email messages from patients, medications that need to be refilled, and lab test reports. The result is that by mid-morning on Mondays, as soon as one inbasket item is opened, acted on, documented, and then closed, another item appears on the inbasket menu. A doctor can pretty much just sit in front of the computer clicking on inbasket messages and not do anything else for hours. By early afternoon, the speed of EMR Whack-A-Mole speeds up: for every 1 inbasket item that you open, read, act on, and close, 2 more items pop up. The best analogy is from the I Love Lucy TV show when Lucy and Ethel are trying to wrap candies coming down a conveyer belt.
After a 3-day weekend or a vacation, the pace of EMR Whack-A-Mole gets even faster. No sooner as you whack one thing out of your inbasket, 3 more pop up. The faster you whack your inbasket, the faster it fills up again. Pretty soon, the inbasket has grown into an enormous-sized monster. Patient phone calls come in faster than they can be returned and test results grow like rabbits fed Viagra.
By about 5 o'clock on Mondays, the inbasket slows down and you can whack out messages faster than the new ones appear. By about 7 o'clock, the last inbasket message gets whacked and you can go home. And then you can look forward to Tuesday for another game of Whack-A-Mole…
