Surgery for Ménière's disease
Ménière's disease is characterised by recurrent attacks of three major symptoms: vertigo (rotational dizziness), deafness and tinnitus (ringing of the ears), and/or aural fullness, all of which are discontinuous and variable in intensity. The symptoms of Ménière's disease are thought to be caused by excess pressure in the fluids of the inner ear which leads to sudden attacks of vertigo and hearing loss. A number of surgical procedures, of varying levels of invasiveness, have been developed to reduce the symptoms of Ménière's disease, but it is not clear whether or not these are effective. The surgical interventions can be categorised as two types: one type of surgical intervention aims to affect the natural history of the disease, with conservation of vestibular function. The other type aims to relieve symptoms by abolishing vestibular function. Both types of surgical intervention are considered in this review. Despite an extensive search the review authors only found two randomised controlled trials studying surgical interventions for Ménière's disease. Both of these trials, involving a total of 59 patients, studied endolymphatic sac surgery; one comparing it to placebo surgery and the other to a different type of surgery. Neither trial detected a significant difference between the treatment and control group.
The two trials included in this review provide insufficient evidence of the beneficial effect of endolymphatic sac surgery in Ménière's disease.
This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 1, 2010.
Ménière's disease is characterised by three major symptoms: vertigo, deafness, and tinnitus or aural fullness, all of which are discontinuous and variable in intensity. A number of surgical modalities, of varying levels of invasiveness, have been developed to reduce the symptoms of Ménière's disease, but it is not clear whether or not these are effective.
To assess the effectiveness of surgical options for the treatment of Ménière's disease. All surgical interventions used in the treatment of Ménière's disease, either to alter the natural history of the disease or to abolish vestibular function, were considered for this review.
We searched the Cochrane Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Group Trials Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); PubMed; EMBASE; CINAHL; Web of Science; BIOSIS Previews; Cambridge Scientific Abstracts; ICTRP and additional sources for published and unpublished trials. The date of the most recent search was 7 November 2012.
Randomised or quasi-randomised controlled studies of a surgical modality versus a placebo therapy in Ménière's disease.
Two authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. We contacted study authors for further information.
The only surgical intervention which has been evaluated in randomised controlled trials and met the inclusion criteria was endolymphatic sac surgery. We identified two randomised trials, involving a total of 59 patients; one comparing endolymphatic sac surgery with ventilation tubes and one with simple mastoidectomy. Neither study reported any beneficial effect of surgery either in comparison to placebo surgery or grommet insertion.

Research Reveals That Dire Wolves Weren't Actually Wolves
by Samantha Hartery

Research has revealed that dire wolves — one of the most well-known predators of the Pleistocene — were not actually wolves at all.
Dire wolves were one of the most widespread carnivores of the Ice Age, roaming North America from 250,000 years ago until their demise at the end of the Pleistocene around 13,000 years ago. Wolf-life in appearance and boasting a canine tooth bite force stronger than any other known Canis species, it seemed likely — and was widely accepted — that these animals were somehow related to today's gray wolves.
However, genetic analysis has recently revealed that they belonged to an entirely new scientific classification.
Researchers gathered genetic samples from five fossil remains of the animals, dating from 13,000 to 50,000 years ago. It turns out that while similar in appearance, dire wolves actually diverged from the lineage that gave rise to wolves, coyotes and dogs an estimated 5.7 million years ago. "There is no evidence for gene flow between dire wolves and either North American grey wolves or coyotes. This suggests that dire wolves evolved in isolation from the Pleistocene ancestors of these species," the authors of the study wrote.
Scientists have recommended that the animals are now classified as Aenocyon dirus, a name proposed over a century ago but disregarded by scientists at the time. Experts, like canid specialist and vertebrate paleontologist Xiaoming Wang, agree. "The Aenocyon genus was left in the historical dust bin, but it can be resurrected," he told Science. "Based on the genetic data this team presents, I would support that reclassification."
Dire wolves likely evolved in the Americas, while ancestors of grey wolves and coyotes evolved in Eurasia, colonizing North America only recently.
The 150-pound dire wolf went extinct, along with 90 other genera of mammals, roughly 13,000 years ago. It's thought that their extinction was a result of the loss of their megaherbivore prey (like ancient horses, ground sloths, mastodons and bison) due to a changing climate, competition with other species, and hunting from humans.

The magic of movies with Scorsese and Méliès
Hugo promotional poster.
Early cinema history in Hugo
Hugo is an adaptation of the graphic novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. Martin Scorsese and screenwriter John Logan create extra storylines or fill in the backstory of characters who make minor appearances in the book because it adds more fully to the film's impact, but in many ways, the film uses the book's images as a blueprint. Scorsese's film brings to life the illustrations of the mechanical man and Hugo peering out from the clock.
In addition to being Scorsese's first venture into family movies, Hugo is Scorsese's love letter to the magic of cinema and to some of the pioneers in the field. Of course, the figure of Papa Georges is based on the story of French filmmaker Georges Méliès, but there are nods to inventors and film pioneers such as the Lumière Brothers, Thomas Edison, and Edwin S. Porter, as well as to some of the first Hollywood Stars, such as Buster Keaton, Douglas Fairbanks, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplain, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, and Tom Mix. (The scene where the Station Inspector, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, is dragged by the train is very much in the vein of Buster Keaton or Charlie Chaplin.) It is important to note the film's acknowledgement of the international roots of early cinema in the West.
Scorsese is not the only filmmaker who pays visual tribute to his predecessors–Tim Burton and Quentin Tarantino both make films that are full allusions to the movies and filmmakers that have influenced them. For example, Frankenweenie has gags and characters that are based on classic horror movies such as Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Godzilla. Having a little knowledge of the history of cinema will make your viewing of their movies much more enjoyable.
This film and many of the others we'll watch this semester try to evoke a specific era. In Hugo, there are nods to popular culture of the day with writer James Joyce and musician Django Reinhardt taking part in the café life at the station. While knowing these figures is not crucial for understanding Hugo, spotting them and knowing their role in early 20th century culture (both helped usher in Modernism to some degree–Joyce's stream-of-consciousness was a relatively new form as was Reinhardt's jazz guitar playing) makes the viewing experience more fun.
George Melies was one of the first filmmakers to experiment with special effects.
Scorsese knows his film history and layers it into the storyline of Hugo, enhancing Georges Méliès' contributions to film as one of the first filmmakers to experiment with special effects and discovering the jump cut, and Scorsese also givies viewers a quick overview of the beginnings of the film industry. Scorsese does a lot of work for film restoration and preservation projects as well as movie history projects. He is a director who never forgot his childhood love of the movies, as he reveals in this Lucasfilm interview. The story of Méliès' financial ruin and the destruction of many of his films addresses some of the concerns about film preservation while the scene where Hugo and Isabelle sneak into the movies shows the power movies can have on the viewer.
Hugo captures the early days of filmmaking and movie going in scenes where Papa Georges and film professor Rene Tabard (Michael Stuhlbarg) talk about the transition of Méliès' career from a stage magician to one of the first auteurs of cinema.
Many of the early experiments with cameras and film technology were done in Europe (especially France); American inventor Thomas Edison saw the potential of moving pictures as an entertainment source and put money into developing not only the equipment for making and showing movies, but also in developing them as a narrative device instead of simply another way to document the world. Very early films were simply movies of people going about their business and do not have a true storyline, but Edison, Méliès, and a few others started considering ways to use film to tell a story, building studios and experimenting with editing film to create a narrative arc through visual cues.
In America, most of the early movie stars came out of the studios in Hollywood and Hollywood became known across the globe as place where movies and dreams were made.
About some of the techniques used in Hugo
Martin Scorsese image from The Hindu.
Even though Hugo is marketed as a family movie, it has all of the touches that make it a Martin Scorsese movie The film's establishing shot takes the viewer swooping in over Paris, through the train station, up the tower to Hugo's face peering out at the world below sets the tone for the film. It is simultaneously in past and present—the set is a recreation of early 20th century Paris done in loving detail (and based in part on Méliès' shots of the same area of Paris), but the filming technique uses the latest technology (the film was shot for 3-D viewing using the newest cameras and editing software).
The final scene of the film shot by Larry McConkey is one long Steadicam shot, which is a technique Scorsese uses to great effect in other films such as Goodfellas and many similar tracking shots appear in Mean Streets, such as the one where cinematographer Kent Wakeford's camera follows Charlie (Harvey Kietel) into the bar as he greets the other patrons and then takes the stage with the dancers. The painterly use of color and the soundtrack that is used as a secondary storytelling device are also similar to Scorsese's other films. The pops of color, such as the blue in the Station Guard's uniform and the flower stand in Hugo are reminiscent of the hand-tinting Méliès put to use in his films where only some elements in a frame were colored.
Scorsese is also known for casting relative unknowns in major parts. Both of child actors Asa Butterfield (Hugo) and Chloe Grace Moretz (Isabelle) had a couple of big budget film experiences before being cast in Hugo. Similarly, Cathy Moriarity and Joe Pesci were cast in Raging Bull without having "name recognition." Pesci had been ready to give up on his acting career when he got the call from Scorsese to play Jake LaMotta's (Robert DeNiro) brother Joey.
Scorsese once said in an interview that he is fascinated with violence and people who are angry. While Hugo does not have the outright violence of Goodfellas or Taxi Driver, nor the seething anger underlying Raging Bull, there are plenty of reminders that the world is not fair or full of nice people. Many of the adults in Hugo's world are angry, violent, or unreasonable. Hugo's alcoholic uncle, the station inspector, and at times both Papa Georges and bookseller Monsieur Labisse are all figures who threaten and scare Hugo. His uncertain status as child fending for himself is a constant source of anxiety in the film: Hugo witnesses the chase, capture, and arrest of a fellow orphan and nearly suffers the same fate.
A note on Scorsese's crew
Scorsese gets his films to have a signature look and feel through close working relationships with some of the best in their fields, such as film editor Thelma Schoonmaker and visual effects experts Rob Legato and Ben Grossman. Hugo's distinctive look was a team effort. Mike Seymour's article, Hugo: A study of Modern Inventive Visual Effects has a great overview of how Hugo was filmed.
Film terminology for the week
Jump cut: an abrupt, disorienting transitional device in the middle of a continuous shot in which the action is noticeably advanced in time or cut between two similar scenes. This might be done accidentally (a technical flaw or the result of bad editing) or purposefully (to create discontinuity for artistic effect). Georges Méliès discovered the jump cut by accident and then incorporated it into his films as a special effect.
In this scene from Breathless, Jean Luc Goddard uses the jump cut to imply the length of the car ride.
Parallel editing or cross cutting: alternating two or more scenes that are usually happening simultaneously but in different locations. Edwin S. Porter is often credited with first using parallel editing.
An early example from the 1920 film Way Down East, directed by D. W. Griffith
A more modern example from The Godfather, 1972, directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Steadicam shot: a hand-held camera technique using a stabilizing Steadicam (introduced in the late 70s), developed by inventor Garrett Brown, with a special, mechanical harness that allows the camera operator to take relatively smooth and steady shots, though hand-held, while moving along with the action; the resulting images are comparable to normal tracking shots on a wheeled dolly
Scene from Goodfellas where the Steadicam is used:
Next week we'll talk about American comedies and Love Crazy.

"electronic reading has a very deep bibliographic history. In Gertrude Stein's words, books were there. It is this thereness that is both essential for understanding the medium of the book (that books exist as finite objects in the world) and also for reminding us that we cannot think about our electronic future without contending with its antecedent, the bookish past. books got there first. Books and screens are now bound up with one antoher whether we like it or not. Only in patiently working through this entanglement will we be able to understand how new technologies will, or will not, change how we read. I can imagine a world without books. I cannot imagine one without reading." (ix)
"Everything that has been said about life in an online world has already been said about books." (xi)
"The question is not one of 'versus,' of two single antagonists squaring off in a ring; rather, the question is far more ecological in nature. How will these two very different species and their many varieties coexist within the greater ecosystem known as reading?" (xi)

Life after rehab isn't perfect, but it can get better every day.
When your loved one was living with addiction, drugs or alcohol were the most important thing.
After rehab, that changed—but maybe not in the way that you expected.
It's normal to hope that your relationship will improve and that you will become a priority. The reality, however, is that your loved one's number one focus will be on his or her recovery.
Intellectually, you may know it has to be that way. But after years of being hurt and having your feelings ignored, the truth may still sting.
Rehab truly does save lives. It can give your loved one the tools he or she needs to live a full and happy life without drugs or alcohol.
It will take time for you and your partner to settle into a new normal. Give yourselves breathing room.
Chances are, you participated in some family therapy while your loved one was in treatment. Hopefully, it helped you work through some issues and build a new foundation for your relationship.
But relationships are hard—for everyone. Don't be afraid to seek out additional therapy once your loved one returns home.
You've spent so much time over the last few years endlessly worrying about your partner. You're probably optimistic, but still concerned.
Just as your loved one is still working on his or her recovery, you should still be seeking out sources of support. Maybe that's a traditional support group—or maybe it's just a good friend who understands.
Don't forget about fun. Do yoga if that works for you or go to an art exhibit. Read books again, even books that are not about addiction.
For so long, you were operating in crisis mode. It won't happen overnight, but you will slowly begin to rebuild trust and, as you do, you can lessen your grip on the wheel just a bit.
After a while, you may just find you're enjoying the ride.
Addiction can take so much away from a person—and their family. Rehab offers the chance to get it all back—and maybe even more. We'd love to help your loved one discover his or her path to a healthy, fulfilling and rewarding life.

Good Friday Morning my dear readers. I sit here listening to the rain pelt against the house, the wind swirling the fallen leaves across the outside deck. None of it is visible, for it is still black outside, the day is yet to fully wake up. Yesterday I opened all the windows to the amazing sunny seventy degree plus fall day, today I shall carry an umbrella as I embark on my conference adventure. Like the weather, life twists and turns in marvelous diverse ways.
Today I attend the Women Ignite annual conference. I am excited to meet other women who are going for it, stepping forward in their passions to serve as they are called. I get to step out of my comfort zone, to meet and get to know other entrepreneurs, a chance to learn, a chance to share. I am nervous and excited!!
This morning as I come to the page, I find myself thinking about what is my truth, in this glorious moment, what am I feeling, thinking, breathing in and out. I am a compilation of emotions. Sad for the recent loss of love in a dynamic powerful relationship with an amazing man. Excited about stepping with great passion and determination into my life calling and purpose. Humbled to my knees as I bring to mind all of the people along my life path who have helped me to soar, who have given without expectation, sacrificing money, time, opening their homes, giving in a myriad of ways to lift my kids and I up – WOW!!
There are so many stories of miraculous grace along my path. I sit here completely in awe as I review my life and sit in the present moment. Presently I sit in the most amazing home, a piece of paradise in the middle of the city. This home has cradled the kids and I for over two years, held us during all our ups and downs. It has been a gift beyond words, for we house sit, blessed to take care of it, while in truth it cares for us. This is one example of the unbelievable blessings in our lives. I think about the day I watched our white Honda CRV get pulled away, repossessed by the bank in the early fall of 2009. I had left the towing man a little note on the seat, thanking him for the kind way he handled such a "yucky" situation, for it cannot be easy to be the one who pulls away people's means of transportation. I sat there listening to it load, tears sliding down my cheeks, recalling all the memories shared with my children and others thanks to that little vehicle. I sunk into the feeling of failure, shame enveloping my core. How many people were watching? What do I tell people? The vulnerable truth stared at me with no apology. Quietly I thought about all that had happened since I lost my job March 1st 2007, the domino effect of "losing everything", my house, my car, forced to move to town…, oh it had been a journey, one you never plan on.
Today, I look at that time and all the years since, marveling at the miracles and the unparalleled graciousness of people who carried us through, loving us, helping us, supporting us, cheering us on. I truly sit here and have no words for the gratitude that bubbles up. As our car was pulled away, I was given a bike that would carry me over miles for the next year and half. I did not have money for a bike for myself and my two children, a gracious friend bestowed me with a bike that still makes me smile today. My car license plate hangs off the crate at the back where I carried many groceries, books as I went back to college full time, and helped the kids to and from various life adventures.
My list of miracles is long, and it just continues to expand daily. I could sit here typing all day and still I would be putting word to page into the night and tomorrow. The keys I touch with my fingers now is a gift, this MacBook Pro a gift of faith given to me in love to share my passion for the written word. I truly marvel at all the people who have touched our lives, literally picking us up off the ground, to dust us off and lovingly hold us with compassionate caring grace. Today I humbly bow, as I do everyday, praying that I may be the difference for those who need and seek as I have and do. May I continue to be the ripple effect of love which connects us all in a glorious tapestry of life. To all those out there who have been the wind beneath our wings, I bow my soul in gratitude. I look forward to the day that I get to fully give and share back, for what is given with such love comes back around with divine grace. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Day four… No Regrets… What If???
I hear you. It is difficult to get back up and to move forward…..while analyzing and going over every step taken, word said, choice made ….to see if or where one has failed, disappointed. Knowing full well that each of us will fail and disappoint. It is what being human is about. I'm glad to have you journey with me through the suffering AND the joy. Love you.

Q: Codimension of $\ker $ $\alpha $
Can someone explain why the codimension of $\ker $ $\alpha $ is $1$ in $ H $, with complement $ Fh_\alpha $?

Is this because $ h_\alpha $ when $ \alpha $ is simple is part of the dual basis to the root space $ H^*$?
Where:
$ H $ is the Cartan of a Lie algebra $ L $ (I don't know if it has to be semisimple)
$\alpha $ is a root not necessarily simple
$ h_\alpha=[{x_\alpha}{y_\alpha}]$ for $ x_\alpha $ $\in L_\alpha $ and $ y_\alpha$ $\in L_{-\alpha} $.
And $ F $ is the base field.

SocialWork@Simmons blends online learning with hands-on experience in the field, which allows students to apply classroom learning directly into their own practice.
Field education is an agency-based course where students apply their classroom knowledge of theoretical concepts, principles, values, and ethics in a supervised practice. In addition to supervised learning of clinical skills (with individuals, families, and groups), students will also become familiar with the many roles social workers play in agencies and in the community.
View the SocialWork@Simmons Field Education Manual.
Students in the extended, full-time, and accelerated Master of Social Work (MSW) programs complete field education at two placement sites throughout their program. For extended program students, field education takes place in terms 4, 5, 7, and 8. Full-time students complete their field education in terms 2, 3, 5, and 6. For accelerated students, field education takes place in terms 1 – 4. Students' first placement provides a foundation in general social work practices, while the second placement focuses on advanced clinical skills.
In each field placement, students work with a qualified field instructor who provides one-on-one mentoring and instruction. Instructors share their knowledge and expertise — building on the student's academic foundation — and guide them in the development of their clinical skills.
During their field placements students receive additional support from a Field Liaison, who monitors their educational process, mentors students on practice and professional development, and works with agencies to ensure a quality practice experience.
Can I complete my placement where I work?
If you are currently employed in a social service agency or clinical setting, you may apply to have an agency-based field placement for one of your two field placements. Worksite field placements must meet the Simmons SSW criteria. The criteria include a different work assignment and new supervisor. Your supervisor must have an MSW and participate in a field instructor training provided through Simmons SSW.
How far will my clinical placement be from where I live? How far will I have to drive?
We make every attempt to locate a placement site that meets your educational needs. At times, the best placement match is farther from your home than you may prefer. You are required to be able to commute up to 60 miles to your placement site. If you are requesting accommodations at your field placement site, please inform the placement team and contact the Simmons disability office at 1-617-521-2474 for assistance.
To learn more about SocialWork@Simmons, request information and an admissions counselor will contact you.

Now let's look at the remaining three.
Most of us think sales is a mystery, a magical skill or God-given charisma. But what actually separates good salespeople from great salespeople is process.
Stop searching for the secret formula. It's right there in front of you in the form of a sales system. Do the Denver Broncos ever stop practicing blocking and tackling? Heck, no. And like any sport, sales is all about consistently performing the fundamentals while being held accountable to a high standard.
Sales: consistently performing the fundamentals while being held accountable to a high standard.
Making this revolution is to stop wishing and start selling. Implement a sales system in 2016.
Do you have a goal to grow your business in 2016? Great. When you land those new clients, you will hire new staff to meet the increased capacity, right? Great. But long before then, ask yourself: when a client goes away, how will I adapt and scale? Who will I let go?
The more critical question is – no matter how busy or slow your business gets – who will I keep on payroll, no matter what?
Obviously, your list will include yourself and your business partners. But your list will likely also include key roles such as your Executive Producer (driving your firm's sales) and top creatives (driving your firm's creative soul or aesthetic). This is your firm's only real asset, what RevThink calls your core team. Identify who comprises your core team so you can protect that asset… and invest in it further.
Culturally speaking, treat your core team like family. Treat everyone else like friends.
How? Culturally speaking, treat your core team like family. Treat everyone else like friends. Start this revolution in 2016 and gradually over time your firm will become known for its core team… and be highly sought after because of it.
As a busy entrepreneur, your time gets increasingly sliced into thinner and thinner chunks as your business grows and all the responsibilities roll uphill. As tempted as you may be to try the latest productivity hack, time management trick or nifty app, don't waste your precious time chasing the latest fad.
Instead, identify your genius and dedicate focused time to it. How?
Write down all the activities you do running your business. Pick the top 3 activities that you love doing, energize you and generate the biggest results for your business. That's where your genius lies.
Set aside complete days to focus on your genius. Delegate everything else.
The revolution goes like this: set aside complete days to focus on your genius. Delegate everything else. This practice is deceptively simple but the implications are profound. Commit to doing this in 2016 and by this time next year, you will be amazed by the results.
Putting these Seven Revolutions into practice will have enormous impact on your business – and therefore, your personal life – in 2016. Let me know how it goes.

Alex Svejkovsky
ST. CLOUD -- St. Cloud Cathedral Senior Will Freeman signed his letter of intent to play collegiate athletics Thursday morning.
Freeman choose to play Division I golf at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. He says he was looking at many schools at each level, but felt Hofstra was the best fit.
I always wanted to play at a Division I school, but I was looking at a few DII and DIII schools and I liked a lot of those but, Hofstra is such a great fit.
Freeman has been apart of the varsity golf team for the past six years, as well as a three year team captain. He says he's had a lot of memories at Cathedral and looks forward to this next chapter.
I've had such a great time here. I'm going to miss my coaches and teammates and even the opposing competition as I have some good friends on the other teams.
Freeman has made four state tournament appearances in golf. He says he's considering majoring in business.

Do both boys and girls feel safe at school – and does it matter?
The relationship between feeling safe in school and academic achievement differs between boys and girls, and also varies between countries. Educational policymakers are advised to carefully analyze the complex interplay between gender, grade level and national contexts when developing strategies to enhance school safety.
This report presents the results of a study on School Related Gender Based Violence (SRGBV) undertaken by the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) in partnership with the Plan International. The study gathers empirical evidence on the magnitude and nature of SRGBV and help-seeking behavior of girls and boys aged 12-17 years in five countries – Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and Vietnam. In addition, it also explores the perceptions and attitudes of key adults, teachers and parents, towards SRGBV.

FDA Nixes Tomato Benefit Claims
By Melissa McNamara
November 10, 2005 / 10:53 AM / CBS/AP
Producers of tomatoes, tomato sauce and dietary supplements containing lycopene, the substance that makes tomatoes red, will not be allowed to advertise claims that they reduce the risk of many forms of cancer, the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday.
Companies will be able to suggest a limited link between tomatoes and a lowered risk of prostate cancer, the agency said.
In response to proposals from industry and other groups, the FDA said it will allow only a few limited health claims to appear on packages of tomatoes and tomato sauce. It also rejected proposals to advertise lycopene alone, available in supplements, as having cancer-related benefits.
The rulings were in response to petitions from American Longevity, which makes supplements and other health products, and the Lycopene Health Claim Coalition, a group that includes ketchup manufacturer H.J. Heinz Co.
American Longevity contends the lycopene in tomatoes reduces the risk of a number of cancers, including prostate, colon and breast cancer. The company offered a number of published studies that it said supported its assertion.
Heinz, meanwhile, only sought a connection between tomatoes and prostate cancer, company officials said. The FDA authorized the following for use on product labels: "Very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that eating one-half to one cup of tomatoes and/or tomato sauce a week may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence supporting the claim."
"It sounds horrible," said Kerr Dow, chief technical officer for Heinz. "It's actually really good news."
He said it is unlikely Heinz would include the claim on its products, but it could use the language to promote further research into a link between tomatoes and reduced prostate cancer risk.
About 232,000 U.S. men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year, and 30,000 will die, the American Cancer Society estimates.
In its response to American Longevity's petition, the FDA questioned many of the studies, saying they were not conclusive.
American Longevity contends it has a free-speech right to make the statements, which are governed under two-year-old regulations allowing qualified health claims on some products where the science is less than universally accepted.
"The FDA decision greatly misleads the American consumer," said Steve Wallach, general manager of American Longevity, in a statement. "The American public is entitled to the whole truth and we will do all we can to prevent FDA from keeping this scientific information from the American people."
Still, the agency authorized three more tomato-related claims to be used on product labels, saying there was "very limited credible evidence" they provide a health benefit. Like the prostate language, the authorized claims must be heavily qualified:
Gastric cancer: "Four studies did not show that tomato intake reduces the risk of gastric cancer, but three studies suggest that tomato intake may reduce this risk. Based on these studies, FDA concludes that it is unlikely that tomatoes reduce the risk of gastric cancer."
Ovarian cancer: "One study suggests that consumption of tomato sauce 2 times per week may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer; while this same study shows that consumption of tomatoes or tomato juice had no effect on ovarian cancer risk. FDA concludes that it is highly uncertain that tomato sauce reduces the risk of ovarian cancer."
Pancreatic cancer: "One study suggests that consuming tomatoes does not reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, but one weaker, more limited study suggests that consuming tomatoes may reduce this risk. Based on these studies, FDA concludes that it is highly unlikely that tomatoes reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer."

Want to know which are the most expensive celebrity addictions? Then you're in the right place!
We all have addictions, some more unhealthy than the other ones. We think all addictions, no matter of any nature they are, are bad as some point, if you take them to the extreme.
Apparently, for these celebrities, money really isn't a problem. And yes, some of them did take things to a whole new level.
Let's get straight to business and see which are the weaknesses of these 10 celebrities!
We begin our list with the American singer, actress and record producer, Mariah Carey.
Born on March 27, 1969, the singer's uncontrollable addiction is her shoes collection.
Located in her 12.000-square-foot Manhattan triplex and designed by decorator Mario Buatta, Mariah Carey's shoe closet features a gold-leaf and bleached-wood floor, providing a luxurious look.
Ladies, it would be nice if we could just steal the whole closet, right?
Mariah Carey has around 1.000 pairs of shoes, and as most of those stilettos, boots and wedges cost like $1.000 a pair or more, we can assume that Mariah spends on her addiction around $2.000 – $3.000.
'I have about 1,000 pairs of shoes. But lots are in storage.', she declared.
What's Rihanna's most expensive addiction? You're about to find out!

The Key Stage 3 basketball team travelled to Wellsway School to take part in a basketball tournament with Wellsway, St Gregory's and Chew Valley schools.
In our first game we played St Gregory's who proved to be too strong on the day, eventually beating us 22-8. We then played Wellsway and produced some excellent basketball eventually beating them 26-6.
In our final game we played a close match with Chew Valley. The scores were tied with two minutes to go and Chew Valley scored in the dying seconds to win 14-12. Well done to all the boys that played! Man of the tournament was Ben S.
The Football season is fast approaching and we have five games lined up for both the upper and lower school teams. Training is on a Thursday after school and I would like to see as many students there as possible.

Review of Rob Papen Predator
Rob Papen bills his virtual instrument line as "inspiration soundware." At the age of 15, he began composing music with a Korg MS-20 synthesizer and an SQ-10 sequencer, and by the time he was 18, he had a number one hit with the Dutch synthesizer group Nova. Papen, a Christian artist, was inspired by pioneering groups such as Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk and Vangelis. As he became known and respected as a sound designer, he began to develop his own line of software instruments, which today include such respected offerings as Albino 3 and Blue; some exciting new synthesizers, currently in development, will be unveiled later this year.
Simply put, this synthesizer sounds amazing. It comes with 15 banks of sounds that range from 68 to 127 presets with plenty of room to spare for creating and saving your own patches. Two of the banks were created by noted synthesists Ian Boddy and Junky XL. Though Predator is clearly geared toward dance music, with many presets focusing on rhythm and movement, to think of it only as a dance-oriented instrument is to miss the possibilities this instrument offers. It can do everything from subtle-moving bass lines to ambient pads to screaming leads to sound effects and everything in between. The sounds are very warm and have a lot of presence on recorded tracks. The UI design is gorgeous. The controls are well thought-out, and the synthesizer is very easy to use.
View of Predator's Main WindowThis view shows the oscillators, filters, amp section and presets in "free mode".
Synth Features
Predator contains three oscillators, which can be loaded with any of 128 forms that range from the traditional sine, square, and triangle to vox to a number of special waveforms, such as pink and white noise generators, labeled as "spec." The waveforms can be tuned by semi-tones and custom-tuned even further with fine controls. You can even dial in square wave sub frequencies. Oscillators two and three can run independently of oscillator one or they can be synced. After the oscillators are two multi-mode filters, including an ADSR envelope with an additional fade function. There is a filter LFO and a Pitch MOD LFO and a dedicated amplitude section that has its own ADS(F)R envelope. All functions are accessible from the front panel, including two sections that move like panels:
1.) an "Advanced" area, where you can tweak the over-sampling mode and further adjust the final characteristics of the sound, such as shapes that define attack, decay and release, and velocity;
2.) the arpeggiator, which is a combination of a 16-step sequencer and arpeggiator with a unique function that allows you to tie together notes. The ability to choose the oversampling rate is a nice feature because oversampling reduces artifacts in the sound. The higher the oversampling, though, the higher the CPU hit, so you can adjust the amount of oversampling for the best results of individual use. Predator defaults to 16x oversampling, which is why it sounds so good, but the CPU hit at this setting ranges from about 8% to 15%.
One of the coolest features of Predator is its approach to variety. You can choose two different presets that morph into each other and then store that as another preset. You can also introduce random elements by using a "variation" knob that allows presets to vary in small or large amounts depending on the setting. You can even apply this to the effect chain.
All this sounds complicated, but it's not, thanks to the clearly designed interface and accessibility of every function from the main screen. For example, the main screen has a window in the lower right hand corner that displays the bank and preset. When (or if) you want to tweak any of the advanced controls, you click on an arrow labeled "adv." and the advanced panel opens. To return you click on the same area, which now reads "Preset". Thankfully, there are only two of these hidden panels, but I suspect they were created to keep the interface clean and easy to understand.
Arpeggiator
Predator has two modes of operation. A free mode that allows you to play the instrument like a normal synthesizer and an arp mode. To access the arp controls, you click on arrow labeled "arp" under the section labeled "Free". Like the advanced controls, this toggles the window to another series of controls.
Predator with Both Panels OpenThis view shows both of Predator's hidden panels open. The lower left shows the arpeggiator.The lower right shows the "advanced" screen.
The arpeggiator has many interesting features. You can treat it like a step sequencer and detune and set velocity levels for any of up to 16 steps to create melodic patterns in different arpeggiating modes: up, down, up/down, down/up, random, ordered, reverse ordered, and others. There is even a setting to use the arpeggiator as a modulator for the free modulation section so that you can create gating effects, filter sweeps, and other unique effects. You can tie notes together, adjust the length of the steps, and adjust the amount of "swing" to give the patterns a different feel.
Effects section
Predator comes with three effect slots that are run in series. 20 effects, including mono and stereo delay, chorus, reverb, Lo-Fi, compressor, and amp simulators, are available. These effects are of such good quality, in fact, the company has chosen to make these available as a separate effects unit as well, meaning you can use the effects with any of your other virtual instruments or as part of an effect chain in your host software.
A cool feature of these effects is an online vocoder. You can load a sample file into a sample slot and automatically use Predator as the carrier or you can use the vocoder through the fx as a plug-in, where it functions like a "normal" vocoder, and you can choose the carrier and modulator.
Further touches
It's very clear that the user experience has been clearly thought through with this synthesizer. In applications where you can turn off the graphic user interface, every parameter is labeled. In addition to this being a good practice (believe it or not, some companies just label device parameters as "parameter 1, 2, 3, etc."), it aids with automation features in applications where you can draw envelopes. In some hosts, this really doesn't matter because automation is recorded through knob movement, but in those that allow you to add nodes or draw envelopes directly on the affected track, it is a really nice feature to have the automatable parameter labeled so that you know exactly which parameter is being effected without having to guess or run some tests first.

Figure Skating 101: Who's Qualified for Team USA
Learn about the qualification procedure for figure skating at the Beijing Olympic Games. (Usa Today Sports)
The 2021 World Championships, held from March 22-28, 2021 in Stockholm, Sweden, was the first and main qualification event for the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
The maximum number of Olympic berths a country can earn is 18, or three athletes/teams in each disciple (women's, men's, pairs and ice dancing).
To earn three spots in a discipline, the final rankings of the country's two best skaters/teams must add up to 13 or fewer. For example, the U.S. earned three berths in ladies' figure skating because Nathan Chen and Jason Brown finished first and seventh, respectively, at 2021 Worlds, and their combined rankings (1 + 7) added up to 8. If their combined rankings had equaled 14 or higher, the U.S. would be allowed to send only two male skaters to the PyeongChang Olympics.
24 men, 24 women, 16 pairs and 19 ice dancing couples earned Olympic berths through this method at the 2021 World Championships.
The remaining spots—6 men, 6 women, 3 pairs and 4 ice dancing couples—were determined by a second qualification competition, the Nebelhorn Trophy in Oberstdorf, Germany, in September 2021..
Even though Chen and Brown earned the men's spots, the spots are not guaranteed to be theirs on the Olympic stage. The U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team will be selected after the 2022 U.S. Championships conclude on Jan. 9, 2022.

Abstract: Much is said about the importance of reflective practice especially in the professions. Yet much of what happens as part of reflective practice in the professions such as teaching is most of the time left to chance. Reflective practice allows practitioners to see the link between theory and practice by thoughtfully considering their own experiences, and applying knowledge to practice. In this paper we argue that for reflective practice to be meaningful and useful to professionals, it should be carefully designed with appropriate structure and guidance. We discuss how this was achieved by being pro-active about promoting and nurturing reflective practice within the context of a professional development program with Sri Lankan educators on OER (Open Educational Resources)-based e-Learning, and how it supported fostering Open Educational Practices (OEP). The OER-integrated online learning experience was designed with various strategies adopted to enhance reflection 'in' and 'on' action, within a situated learning pedagogical design – Scenariobased learning (SBL). Content analysis of the qualitative data mainly gathered through participants' self-reflections, supplemented with course team members' reflections, focus group interviews and the open-ended questions in questionnaire surveys, revealed that a scenario-based approach to learning incorporating authentic learning activities and assessment tasks, such as concept mapping, online discussions, reflective journal writing, and rubric-based feedback on assessment tasks, all helped scaffold participants' approach to reflective practice. Results show that these strategies that were adopted enhanced their critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative learning as well as self-esteem, also indicating a shift towards OEP. We conclude that careful design of the learning experiences is critical in promoting and supporting reflective practice among educators, and the use of such strategies in the design of OER-based e-Learning.

New ESRI World Topographic Basemap
written by Eric Pimpler March 3, 2010
I'm really impressed with the recently announced World Topographic base map from ESRI. As James Fee noted on his his blog, "the cartography just catches your eye." According to ESRI the map is designed to be used as a basemap by GIS professionals and as a reference map. The map includes administrative boundaries, cities, water features, physiographic features, parks, landmarks, highways, roads, railways, airports, and buildings overlaid on land cover and shaded relief imagery for added context.
The map includes detailed maps for selected cities in the United States including New York, Pasadena and Redlands, California, Philadelphia, Portland, and Washington D.C. as well as a detailed map of Yosemite Park in California. These areas are a demonstration of how the topographic map can and will be extended with more detailed data sets for local areas.
Data sources used in the creation of the map include USGS, FAO, NPS, EPA, ESRI, DeLorme, TANA, and others.
The topographic map can be used in your custom REST or SOAP web applications as well as ArcGIS Desktop. The tiling scheme is based on Google Maps/Bing Maps.

Downpours and Near-Death Run-Ins Inspired His New Cycling Gear
Email Pinterest Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
Riding a bicycle was getting apocalyptic for Roland Harper—he'd been drenched by sudden rainstorms, nearly smacked into the pavement by chaotic drivers racing through lawless streets and almost run over by a bus. After cycling his adopted city of Bogotá, Colombia, for about a year, he realized something had to be done to improve his commutes. His friend (and now manager of sales) Raul Bermudez remembers meeting the French expat, who told him, "I promise you, I'm going to make the best damn cycling jacket Colombia has ever seen!"
Or maybe the world?
A few years after its launch, MOVA is delivering on Roland's mission to make a better urban riding experience for cyclists all over the world. It's not surprising that Roland took his inspiration for MOVA's nascent line of cycling apparel from a high-altitude city with oftentimes daily subtropical downpours and insane traffic. Their first invention, an electric-lemon rainproof jacket, was a direct response to Roland's experiences. The company, which manufactures right in Bogotá, is all about helping people use bicycles as a form of urban mass transport everywhere, explains Roland. "That's our raison d'être," he says. "It's what we keep having to come back to."
We might not make cycling apparel our whole lives, but MOVA will always stick to its mission.
Roland Harper
Through their online store, MOVA ships to customers in 66 countries including the U.S., the U.K., Mexico, France, and Germany. But, for now, MOVA doesn't want investors. Instead, they've relied on Kickstarter campaigns to fund big batches of production. Roland launched a 60-day Kickstarter campaign in December 2015, and it netted him $130,000 USD.
But the unexpected success of the campaign scared him. "I didn't have a factory. I didn't have a team. I had no experience. I was literally in my room in a house in San Felipe. What did I have? All I had was drive," he says. Harper's team of five kicked off another Kickstarter campaign, which promised highly visible jackets to customers and ended in January 2018, resulting in $80,000 in funding, more than four times their goal. They spent the next few months scrambling to send more than 650 jackets to backers.
At the office on a sun-soaked Monday afternoon, photographers take shots of a new jacket to the backdrop of up-tempo beats pumping out of speakers stationed around the office. It's part of the Keep Fresh and Cool program, MOVA's secret elixir for maintaining motivation.
Alvaro Tapia Hidalgo
Though each of the team members controls their own domain, everyone is part of product design ideation—and customer feedback gleaned from a Google Survey guides the design. "It's very hands-on," Raul says of the design process. He demonstrates a feature of a windbreaker prototype—a suggestion from a customer—that hides keys in a zippered forearm pocket. This kind of feedback, combined with the Kickstarter campaigns, Roland explains, gives his team more flexibility for steering the company in the direction they believe it needs to go. "We might not make cycling apparel our whole lives," he says, "but MOVA will always stick to its mission."
While customers might feel like they're gliding along smooth ground in their new MOVA gear, what they don't know is that Roland has hit a few potholes. The local culture is less concerned about timelines and deadlines than he is sometimes used to. "I think I learned how to be patient in Colombia," he says. "Some of our biggest challenges are at the cultural level."
Roland's management style, though, has been described by early business partner Armando Rodriguez as sometimes "too chill"—a trait that may have helped him adapt to Colombia's relaxed attitudes toward business. "He's really good at stepping back, stacking people's talents together, and trusting them."

Hopefully you can find a game that will fit your playing style! Listed below are some of the most popular games like Unravel 2.
Unravel Two is an enchanting side-scrolling platformer starring two anthropomorphic yarn characters. The two main characters rely on each other to move through the game world and avoid obstacles. As a result, this game is difficult, but it has some beautiful graphics and a touching two-player design. It is available on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. While Unravel is not for everyone, it is a great game for gamers who enjoy whimsical platforming adventures.
Another popular game is Unravel 2, a paid action-adventure game that involves two tiny yarn characters. The characters depend on each other's bodies to move through the world. They need to avoid obstacles and complete puzzles to reach the end of the world. This game has many unique features, but many fans find it difficult to get into. If you are not a fan of the single-player experience, try playing the co-op mode.
While Unravel 1 is an excellent single-player adventure, Unravel 2 offers local co-op play and multiplayer mode. The Yarnys in the game are anthropomorphic creatures made of red and blue yarn, connected by a single thread. This game will challenge you to work together and solve puzzles. However, if you don't like puzzle games, this one is not for you.
If you enjoy games with cooperative play, Unravel 2 is another fun option. It's a cooperative multiplayer game, and it can be played locally with a friend or online with friends. This game is not a bad choice for the gaming couch. Whether you're looking for a single-player or co-op mode, it will be an excellent choice for you. It's fun to work together and solve puzzles, and the gameplay isn't hard to pick up and learn.

The game is very well-made, and you can enjoy playing with friends in multiplayer. You can also find some hidden challenges and unlockables that make it more fun. Aside from co-op play, games like Unravel are also great choices for gamers looking for a game to play with a friend.
While many people are looking for a light-hearted video game with cooperative gameplay, Unravel Two is a fun and enjoyable option for those who love the two-player experience. This game features two characters, who can communicate with each other and work together to solve puzzles. There are even several challenges in the game that require you to work as a team. If you're looking for an engaging game to play with friends, Unravel 2 is worth checking out.
Unravel 2 is a fun action-adventure game with a two-player option. It is an excellent game to play with friends in a two-player setting. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes. The players can control two different characters and move through various environments. It is possible to play the game in any order, allowing for unlimited cooperative gameplay. The main aim of Unravel is to complete puzzles, which will lead to the completion of goals.
Though Unravel is a great single-player experience, there are many games that are similar to Unravel. Both have a single-player mode and local co-op play. In the first game, players take control of two different Yarnys, each with its own special abilities. During multiplayer, players can share Yarnys with their friends. The game features a wide variety of weapons, items, and levels, which makes it a fun game for all kinds of gamers.

Nick's Picks: DREAMERS at Anthology
Hollywood Records
DREAMERS, a band poised to be the next big thing in rock music, will bring its act to Rochester on March 31 at Anthology.
Since the band's formation in 2014, the trio of bassist Marc Nelson, drummer Jacob Lee Wick, and lead guitarist and front man Nick Wold, has already gained national attention for their slick writing and unique sound that can only be described as a mash-up of genres. Listed as everything from alternative rock to indie pop, DREAMERS prefer the blanket genre of "alt" to describe its music.
"Alt is becoming kind of a scene, we're starting to write songs with the bands we tour with, and everybody kind of helps each other out," says Wold. "It's kind of like alternative rock but also it's a little electronic and it spans from grungy rock to synth pop. So it just kind of represents the alternative kids who aren't into the mainstream thing."
Shortly after its conception, DREAMERS released "Wolves," an up-tempo love song that earned radio play on the SirusXM channel Alt Nation and eventually reached number thirty-nine on Billboard's American Alternative Chart. DREAMERS's first hit gained the attention of the Stone Temple Pilots, who handpicked the trio to open for them in the spring of 2015. With radio play and the national attention that takes some bands decades to receive, DREAMERS embarked on a nationwide tour spanning dozens of cities where they refined their act and exposed fans to their EPs DREAMERS and You Are Here.
In August of 2016, DREAMERS released its first official album, This Album Does Not Exist. Filled with grungy guitar chords, synth-laden melodies, and catchy pop choruses, DREAMERS's debut album produced three tracks on the Billboard Alternative Chart, "Drugs," "Painkiller," and "Sweet Disaster." This Album Does Not Exist is rife with DREAMERS's genre-bending sound and aspects of past eras of rock. Wold, who grew up in Seattle during the heyday of grunge and eventually moved to New York City when it was the epicenter of rock resurgence, lists the Cranberries, the Strokes, Nirvana, and Weezer as influences.
Currently on tour with New Politics, DREAMERS are continuing to play This Album Does Not Exist as well as songs from an unreleased album.
"Our first record is characterized as a fun summer love album, we wrote it when we moved to Los Angeles and it was kind of carefree," says Wold. "This second record definitely takes a little bit of a darker or more serious edge and I think it's just kind of a reflection of the times and what we've went through touring for two years and having this crazy experience."
DREAMERS fans can look forward to more tour dates, festival performances, new music videos, and a new album scheduled to drop this summer.
Rochester is the second to last stop on DREAMERS's tour with New Politics. Doors open for next Saturday's show at 6:30 p.m.

Are our local buses getting on board with clean travel?
TTL's Arnold Simanowitz compares the very different approaches our three local bus companies are taking to cut emissions and pollution.
The three bus companies that service Lewes are all taking some steps to reduce their emissions and it is interesting to compare what they are doing in this regard.
Brighton & Hove Buses
The largest provider by far is Brighton & Hove Bus and Coach Company whose buses provide a frequent (in normal times) service to and through Lewes. Their Managing Director explained to me the steps they have taken and are taking to help improve air quality and tackle climate change in the places and communities they serve.
For its main fleet, the company operates 55 street-deck buses in Brighton and Hove, and 27 Street Lites in Crawley which are Euro VI buses. Euro VI is the standard engine for all new vehicles and has a range of features to give a significant reduction on emissions compared to older engines – see panel.
Hybrid buses – For the past two years and as part of their roll-out programme they have also invested in the Enviro400ER hybrid (i.e. diesel/electric) double decker. These buses run in zero-emissions mode every time they enter Brighton's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and in other sensitive areas too, such as near hospitals.
The Enviro400ER model is powered by a battery, which is charged by an on-board generator and kinetic energy is harvested when the driver brakes. It means the bus delivers zero emissions in Brighton & Hove's ULEZ without needing to stop and charge during the day. The company's daily mileage, long operating hours, hilly terrain and normally high passenger loadings mean that fully electric buses simply wouldn't cope as well as the buses it has have chosen to invest in. To deliver the best possible benefit to the greatest number of people these buses operate on their busiest routes – route 1 and route 5.
The problem with Enviro400ER buses is their limited range which is why they have so far only been introduced on the most polluted routes in Brighton. However, the company is hopeful that their work-around hydrogen fuel cell electric buses may pave the way to achieve even greater results, either by investing in new buses where budget and technology permits or replacing older buses by converting some of their older fleet to a retrofit hydrogen fuel cell solution. This is a very new idea and Brighton & Hove Buses claims that no-one in the UK is doing this yet. They do have plans to extend the area in which they can deliver zero emissions and are currently working with bus manufacturer ADL to achieve this but that is likely to be in Brighton & Hove in the short term as this is where most journeys are made, and the highest number of people can benefit.
Plans for Lewes – Because the COVID-19 pandemic has created a setback to their more ambitious plans, at this stage Brighton & Hove Buses can't say when they will be able to further invest in zero emissions buses that will serve Lewes. But they will continue to work towards their goal of being zero emissions across the entire fleet by 2030 .
In the interim, for Lewes, they are working with the local authorities in a bid to jointly invest in retrofitting the 'Regency' buses that serve Lewes on routes 28 and 29 with a treatment that improves their emissions to Euro 6 standards, producing air quality benefits for the people of Brighton & Hove and Lewes alike.
The Big Lemon
The Big Lemon, established in 2006, is the smallest of the bus companies, running only a few short routes in Brighton. From the outset, the company's aim was to avoid all noxious emissions. So they initially ran on recycled waste cooking oil from local restaurants. They then experimented with solar power and having successfully managed to complete their longest route entirely using the cells on the roof of their bus depot they now run all their buses in that way.
The buses are charged direct from a 21kW solar array on the roof of the bus depot, taking 6.5hrs to charge from zero to full. When the buses are not on charge, the energy from the solar array powers the offices and the workshop, and any excess goes into the national power grid.
The Big Lemon is now working with people throughout the UK to bring some Big Lemon buses to their communities. They say that if communities want them to consider their area they should get in in touch. Their vision is that by 2030 every community in the UK has access to affordable, sustainable transport, using zero-emissions vehicles powered by renewable energy and owned by the local community.
Compass Travel
Compass, which provides a number of services in Lewes, has no plans to introduce electric buses as their routes are mainly rural and often long. Overall they consider that the Euro VI model is actually a greener option once one considers every aspect of electric operation. Other options such as hydrogen are not yet fully proven and in Compass's opinion are not really suitable for their type of operation.
How are diesel buses also cutting emissions?
Euro VI is the standard diesel engine for new buses and is used extensively by Brighton & Hove and Compass buses. According to B&H, the Euro VI has a range of features to give a significant reduction on emissions and particulates compared to previous models, including a 67% reduction on nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions:
A selective catalyst regeneration trap system and a diesel particulate filter are designed to reduce NOx levels and trap particles in the air.
An electric compressor, electric power steering pump and an intelligent alternator are all electrically operated whereas other older buses are driven using a drive system from the engine, which increases the load and affects fuel efficiency.
A regenerative braking system stores energy, reducing the need for the engine to generate it. This in turn reduces the amount of NOx released into the air. The NOx limit is 80mg/km for Euro 6 diesel vehicles.
chris Smith	on April 1, 2021 at 9:07 pm
I would likie to have seen more about rural routes. In particular it would have been interesting to hear from local operators Cuckmere buses and Community Transport Lewes Area, as well as suggestions about how the issues raised by Compass could be resolved
