Speedy Treatment for Epithelial Defects
Pilot study found 60% of eyes healed completely after 28 days of blood-based therapy.
Autologous hemoderivative eye drops have been clinically proven effective in treating persistent epithelial defects, but this option tends to be limited by cost and availability. Researchers from the United Kingdom suggest a different alternative: a finger-prick autologous blood (FAB) treatment they say is less expensive—around $26 a month vs. autologous serum's $412 monthly price tag. The novel treatment may also provide an increased concentration of growth factors compared with other therapies, and comes with no requirements for anticoagulants, antibiotics, excipients or storage facilities, the study authors noted.
The pilot study enrolled 10 patients who had persistent epithelial defects in one eye for roughly nine months. The causes for the defects included diabetic neurotrophic keratopathy, herpetic keratitis, post-penetrating keratoplasty, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, postradiotherapy and neuropathic ulcer. Participants were first trained to properly draw a drop of blood from a fingertip using a 28-gauge spring-loaded lancing device. They were then instructed to apply the drop to the lower conjunctival fornix of the eye with the persistent epithelial defects four times daily for 28 days in addition to receiving conventional therapies. Of note: all subjects previously had not been successful with conventional therapy alone, and none had undergone surgical treatment for the condition.
At the end of the study, researchers reported the persistent epithelial defects had healed in six (60%) of the eyes (two by day three, two by day14 and two by day 28). In one eye, the defect reduced in size by half. Three patients (30%) had incomplete follow-up data by the end of the study.
Researchers observed no adverse events from the treatment.
"In essence, FAB offers a simple, cheap and readily available treatment for persistent epithelial defects which are resistant to conventional treatment," says researcher Anant Sharma, FRCOphth, of the Moorfields Eye Centre in Bedford, UK. "FAB has the potential to be used earlier in corneal ulcer treatment which may reduce corneal scarring."

Amelita – 2013 (Sony)
Reviewed by Jeffrey B. Remz
CDs by Court Yard Hounds
Amelita (2013)
Court Yard Hounds (2010)
With The Dixie Chicks seemingly on recording hiatus, this has been a productive year for the trio in other configurations. For sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, that translates into the second volume of the California sunshine pop sounds under the moniker The Court Yard Hounds three years after its debut. And once again, Maguire and Robison know a thing or two about sisterly harmonies, bright sounding songs and a few twists and turns.
This isn't a straight-ahead country disc (although far more so than did Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines on her solo debut, "Mother," which purposefully eschewed a country vibe). Think of The Hounds as being on the same musical turf as Sheryl Crow. In this day and age, that makes perfect sense, especially considering Crow makes her country debut in September.
Robison and Maguire, however, add a slew of country touches, such as mandolin from Maguire on the lead-off Sunshine about a person who exudes anything but that in attitude, banjo on The World Smiles from Robison and pedal steel on Gets You Down. Maguire punctuates numerous songs with her fiddle playing, so much so that it sounds like a string orchestra at times (the catchy single Amelita).
Robison assumes almost all lead vocals except for the slightly bluesy A Guy Like You and Gets You Down. Robison possesses a pretty voice, nothing like the toughness and attitude of Maines, but she is no slouch whatsoever. Maguire offers a change of pace vocally and equally is up to the task. The sisters had a hand in writing almost all of the 11 songs, with many presumably touching on the break-up of Robison's marriage to Charlie Robison. There is a most touching song, Phoebe, about a western Massachusetts teen, Phoebe Prince, who committed suicide in the wake of bullying.
The sisters produce the disc along with Jim Scott, and they obviously know what they were doing by throwing in a variety of sounds and styles. The sound is mainly acoustic, which serves them quite well because that dovetails with the light, airy sounds of the songs. Rock All Night
The 11-song release concludes with The Road You Take. On its face, the song is about taking chances in love, but it may take the musical road these two have taken with a reference to the Chicks. "I am not alone/and I, I can journey on/I won't leave it all to fate/ It's the road I take."
With releases like this, Court Yard Hounds are smart in pursuing an alternative musical muse. Robison and Maguire make their brand of music on their own terms.

There is always a part of us that just wants to be taken care of.
And God does take care of us.
But God also challenges us to grow up.
That is often hard. It can be painful.
It is like physical rehabilitation after surgery.
we have to get of bed and work.
It takes courage. It takes determination.
It starts with God accepting us as we are.

Newcastle have been drawn against Crystal Palace away in the Capital One Cup, and that's not a particularly good draw given the other teams left in the competition.
The ties will be played in the week beginning Monday, 22nd September.
If Newcastle can beat Crystal Palace, then we will be in the last 16 and reach the stage we reached last season, before losing at home to Manchester City.
obertan is licking his chops!
Anyone know when the ties are?
Sorry mate my head has been sidetracked by the insulting ignorant troll that is Gazzaforever.
He keeps insulting posters and then making out its others and I'm quite knarked.
If you find someone saying your posts are strange insulting what do you say calling me a f ing moron who should live with another poster a compliment?
Crawl back under your rock! You've insulted a few posters on here without contributing anything!
Anyone else having trouble with posting etc on the blog tonight?
@ musomag, I think it is a decent squad that should make 7th on paper.
In 2014, Alan Pardew's NUFC have failed to score in an astonishing 66% of their league games (14 of 21).
Nice one, Alan. I bet you're pleased you play on the front foot. What would happen if you didn't?
If Gillingham was a "very, very" tough place to go, then his beloved Palace will be classified up there with the unbeatables.
Lucky scouse gits – Boro at Anfield!
Ah well, let's focus on the Prem and maybe play some young 'uns (and HBA?} in the FA cup.
Ed seems to be slacking quite a bit recently on the troll front.
It is probably SUFC back under another guise and we only just got rid of him after having to endure his abuse for weeks on end.
Keep the blog for NUFC supporters only please Ed.
Mate stop with this Remy stuff man, he doesn't want to join us….how many times will the idiot reject us…have some self respect bud. I get Remy did well but he refused to sign twice, told us he wasn't playing the final game of the season and the pissed off to watch arsenal!! I can't stand the bloke…We don't need him, we do need some to create goals though as goofy just shouldn't be starting games now.
Ye mate I'm just knarked he's abused half a dozen posters without contributing a thing. F this f that etc then said I was insulting him for saying his posts are strange. That's after he said what's in my previous post to me. Unreal, obviously been dropped on his head!
That sounds about right about Remy – the fact that the owner met him was the key!
I liked Sufc thought he was quite amusing!
laurant—–so what you saying ??? you reckon we need a striker or what ?/??
That pap was just the product of a fertile, conspiracy driven mind.
I fail to understand why the press are fed this Remy and Lacazette rubbish other than to divert attention from our iminent signing of Messi!
I'll credit Ashley with having the pride to not even consider Remy now.
Hope your dreams were sweet.
It's not the fact he abused me it was the fact he said I'd insulted him by saying his posts where strange after Markaccus had pointed out he only abided fellow posters.
Deluded doesn't quite sum the lad up!
We need a manager before a striker, Stuart. However, it kind of makes a mockery of the fact that we've spent £6m on Riv and the other two new lads. Riv, like Cisse, is already looking isolated.
That is down to management.
The ties will be played on the week commencing Monday the 22nd of September scout.
Very quiet on here tonight, is there anybody on.
The rules of the breeze block challenge are completely different for Sufc.
We dig a great big hole, he gets in the hole, then we repeatedly drop breeze blocks into the hole.
I but I'm watching MUFC doing their best NUFC impression.
There shocking, gifted them chance after chance.
All of these teams are threats to us, good to know at least 5 of them will be knocked out. Palace away is also a decent draw, give us a 60% chance of progression.
Who's this Gazza forever person, is he new.
Missed Scum v Stoke off the list!

10 Reasons TBC Classic will be even better than WoW Classic
The Super Mario Bros Game: A Complete History
Published on 27 November 2020, 23:20 -06:00
I'm absolutely in love with Blizzard's remake of the original World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft classics. It's the only game I've played since my release, and I play even more than I should.
However, I can't deny that there were some obvious problems at stake at the time. Questions that have become even clearer with the new edition.
That's why I'm so excited about the upcoming servers for The Burning Crusade Classic, which are almost confirmed at the moment. I think The Burning Crusade was the highlight of World of Warcraft because it solved most of the problems of the original games and improved almost every aspect of them.
In this article I want to tell you why you should be enthusiastic about The Burning Crusade (TBC) and why I think it will be even better than the World of Warcraft classic.
1. No fanatics in the world (fast)
Getting an Onyxia Buffalo for the Ragnaros in the early days of the Classics
World Buffs is probably one of the most controversial parts of World of Warcraft Classic. There are tons of them, and if you manage to get them all, you will probably increase the power of your character by more than 100%, which is absurd and makes you feel useless if you lose them. It's a giant, temporary sink. Because of this distraction she opens herself up to a lot of grief, and the worst thing is that it makes the raids even easier than they already are.
While it's nice to have all the fans in your world and it's great to do these ridiculous depravities, I don't think it makes up for all the drawbacks.
Fortunately, in the Burning Crusade, Blizzard changed the fans of the world so they no longer count the top players, and now your analysis is reduced to your bends, equipment and consumables, instead of the fans around the world.
I know I'm not lonely when I say I can't wait to make a raid without the lovers of the world and the idea that one extinction doesn't mean the end of the world.
The Burning Crusade has given two slots in the world to players from overseas when someone, led by Kael'tas, turns around, and one of the turns to find the key to Alcatraz. Battle Song A'dal is a 5% increase in damage to the flat, but only works in dungeons and raids during the low storm. It's worse than almost any Wow Classic World Buffs and only works during a robbery, so it probably won't make much difference if you lose it. It also seems to apply when you're in a dungeon or during a robbery when it happens, so you don't have to go out of your way to get it. A'Dal's blessing is also much appreciated, with 200 attack forces and 115 spelling damage, but it comes from a series of searches needed to complete Karayajan's settings, so it will rarely be seen after about a month or so.
2. Complete sets of more suitable classes and options
A Shadow Priest, a Lunkin and a Hunter have entered the Desert
World of Warcraft Classic is not known for its class equilibrium, and many specializations and classes have been completely omitted. So you see that the toughest guilds that fill their lists up to the ridge with crooks and warriors are simply better. Is your boss a hunter? Too bad you don't see yourself on the damage meter, your head paladin? I'm sorry, but you have to recover or you'll be considered dead weight in the raid.
With Burning Crusade, Blizzard has finally started to understand his business and execute everything. I'm not just talking about the amateurs of unsatisfying things. I'm talking about such a radical improvement in every cluster that basically every talent tree is viable.
The paladins of revenge and defense, the priests of the shadows, the fierce druids, the shamans of the elements and upgrades will no longer be a dead weight but a precious part of the robbery. And not only the low-power specialisation has improved enormously. Each class gets exciting new spells, improved talent trees and more viable options.
3. PvP rating
Game Siphon's life-soul communication wizard was a real badass.
I love the player-to-player fight in World of Warcraft Classic. It erupts, is strange and requires a lot of skill to succeed. The only problem is that the current PvP military style vanilla scale system rewards effort rather than skill, so it doesn't even come close.
An experienced player who plays with a group of experienced, prefabricated players will climb the rankings more easily and win awards faster, but reaching the highest rank (Grand Marshal or Supreme Warlord) is a sign of dedication, not skill. So the prestige of receiving these titles is not really present.
In The Burning Crusade, arenas were introduced, a small, deadly type of battle complemented by a ladder-point system, and for the first time in history, World of Warcraft players were given a ladder to climb. This gives players an excuse to try to do something, as well as an excuse to improve and enhance their PvP gameplay, as some rewards don't reach certain levels that few players would have reached (introduced in season 3). It even had unique titles and bindings for the top percentiles of players like Gladiator and Dualist.
The rating system of the Burning Crusade Arena is far from perfect and suffers from balance problems. Some specializations and class combinations were much better than others, and some classes will have a hard time getting higher up if they don't stick to Meta.
Even with these issues in mind, I think The Burning Crusade has done a much better job of rewarding PvP players, and some of these titles and binders will be very prestigious.
4. Best random FPV system
This is not only for hardcore and high level players, which improves the PvP system at TBC, but also for casual players. The most important thing is that there are epic rewards for everyone who enters the arena, not just for the highest percentile. Although the better you are, the faster you score, there is always a reason for everyone to play their weekly game in the arena.
But the big improvement for casual players is not the arena, but a fundamental review of the way honor works. Instead of the increasingly demanding ladder of grades that perish weekly and take up a lot of time, you now get the battlefield points of honour to spend on the PvP equipment of your choice. Although it's not ideal for epic arena equipment, this equipment is something you want to shred if you're interested in PvP, and it rewards people for the fight without having to shred more every week or risking losing your rank.
5. More efficient and harder raids
Screenshot Me Burning Crusade, and wiped out my Kiljeden guild in Sunwell in 2008.
Even if we end up with the highly optimized version of The Burning Crusade from patch 2.4.3, we will not ignore the fact that it is more complicated than that in Wow Classic. They are not only more complicated, but also much more interesting, and the experience and understanding of the developer of the game has improved significantly so far. Most bosses in raids will no longer have one or two mechanics, and it's hard to see that the same developers who made the Ragnaros also made bosses like Lady Wash or Kael'tas.
Although the heaviest classic raid hasn't been released yet, I think it's fair to say that the raid will generally be heavier and more exciting for the general player base – even though Naxxramas will be at the same level or harder than some of the Burning Crusade raids.
I hope the blizzard learned a lesson from Wow Classic. You can't release the latest patch with extremely boring versions of the stage raids and expect people to find them very entertaining. The number of nerds invading a heroic dungeon during The Burning Crusade is incredible, and I hope we'll try the harder versions with TBC Classic.
It still won't be as difficult as before, or even close, but it will allow many guilds to make exciting progress with the boss and get a murder you've worked hard for.
6. 10 & 25 Raids on humans
The early days of Zul-Aman
Running in front of 40 people is both unbelievable and terrible. Seeing 40 people working together to beat the boss is beautiful and seems a little more epic than 25 or 20 people could ever do. However, the need to maintain a consistent list of 40 people, and perhaps even just a few lists, is a nightmare for any guild officer or master at Wow Classic, and often ends with transporting ten or more shady people through the contents.
It is almost impossible to bring 40 people together with the same goal and the same way of thinking. There will always be people who spend gold on consumables, who attract the favor of the world and use the right specialty, which in the end will be worn by people who don't care. If you add to that the incredibly skinny looting, you probably have a lot of drama on your hands. Despite the epic nature of this 40-person raid, it cannot be denied that fewer people mean less drama and less headache for those responsible.
Smaller lists also allow Blizzard to hold more exciting meetings, as they no longer have to deal with the administrative nightmare of 40 raids.
7. Heroic dungeons
Heroic Shadow Maze Screenshot. The HCerker, notoriously difficult.
World of Warcraft Classic has a number of incredible dungeons such as Blackrock Depths, Stratholme and Scholomance. However, they are all quite simple and after the people got a bit of equipment, they were full of spin-ups, which makes them less exciting. There is also little reason to put it back into service once you have received your equipment, unless you are looking for a niche like Baron Rivendare Gore's.
The Fire Crusade is synonymous with heroic dungeons. This is a much harder version of the standard dungeon, with more mechanics, a tighter scale and better rewards. Not only do they attract and attract large numbers of looters, but they also give them a much-needed reputation that everyone probably wants. So I think the dungeons in The Burning Crusade Classic will remain relevant much longer than those in The Wow Classic. In addition, The Burning Crusade has 15 dungeons on its doorstep, which means that there is much more variety than the maximum level players currently get.
8. Best call
The first World of Warcraft had an interesting reputation in agriculture with some very cool rewards like Winter Jump Trainer for the mountain or Timbermaw Hold for the jewel. However, most of them have no real reason to grow them, and most of them are very naked in terms of reward.
However, with the Burning Crusade they presented almost 20 brand new reputations, and almost all of them had interesting and useful rewards such as mounts, equipment and records.
They have managed to get the ideal midfielder and they have enough prestige to give a regular player something on the farm while retaining some of those prestigious reputations like Netherwing.
9. Jewellery and best professions in general
Saliva on my fully enchanted and precious level 6 coins
The Crusade against Fire introduced a jewel box. A profession that offers you additional customisation possibilities with your equipment at the same level as the enchantment and the profession as a whole is exceptionally well done and integrates perfectly with the rest.
CBT has also led to a rebalancing of professions in general and technology is no longer the only choice for people who want to work. Each profession gets exciting new things and bonuses, and Burning Crusade is probably the best version of the World of Warcraft appeals system.
But that doesn't mean that Wow Classic's professional system isn't very good. He just got better in Burning Crusade.
10. Levelsets for all specialisations
Chip Sellers In World of Warcraft, classic chipsets and raid equipment are usually made for a single roll. If you're a brave warrior, you won't wear your animal suit. The same goes for the shadow priests, the druidic balance and other niche specialities.
I am the most important of the fierce warriors, and the amount of equipment I wear during raids can be counted on the fingers of one hand. To be honest, I've reached a rank that gives me an advantage over most soldiers, but the position remains the same. In general, the best robbery equipment and pvE content should come from the robberies, so that people feel motivated and do not get burned in the robberies.
In Burning Crusade, Blizard introduced a pet coin system, a product that you can exchange at the seller for your pet sets. This allows you to choose the desired specialization, i.e. classes that perform multiple roles, such as Druids and Shamans, are given a number of levels for each role.

Action on Hearing Loss defends holding comedy fundraiser in inaccessible venue
By John Pring on May 9, 2019 Category: Arts, Culture and Sport, Stories
A disability charity has refused to apologise for holding a fundraising comedy night in an inaccessible London venue.
Action on Hearing Loss (formerly known as RNID) was raising money as part of its Deaf Awareness Week with an evening of stand-up at The Comedy Store in London.
Performers included Angela Barnes, Samantha Baines, Ed Gamble, Eshaan Akbar, Russell Howard (all pictured, left to right) and John Bishop, three of whom have hearing loss themselves.
But the venue chosen by the charity is not accessible to many disabled people, with The Comedy Store warning on its website that it only has a "chair lift" which "cannot bear the weight of a person in a wheelchair".
This means that any wheelchair-user "must be able to leave their wheelchair, descend via the chairlift, then retake their wheelchair once at the bottom of the stairs", so "large electric wheelchairs are unable to gain access" to the auditorium.
Alan Benson, a disabled campaigner and activist from London, said: "Funding is a challenge for everyone so events like this are very important, but it's vital that we get them right.
"In a society that routinely discriminates against disabled people we must make sure that we support each other and run fully inclusive events.
"I know that those with hearing impairments routinely face barriers to participation so I would have hoped for better."
Benson, who uses an electric wheelchair himself, added: "London has many great accessible venues so there is no excuse not to use them.
"By using venues like The Comedy Store, we validate their inadequate provision.
"To justify the event by saying it was accessible to some disabled people is simply not good enough."
When questioned about the inaccessible venue, Action on Hearing Loss (AHL) refused to apologise or say why the event was held in a venue which was not accessible for many wheelchair-users.
It also refused to say what kind of message that decision sent to wheelchair-users with high support needs, and whether it suggested that raising money and "awareness" of AHL's work was more important than including people who use electric wheelchairs.
But a spokesperson said in a statement: "At the launch of Deaf Awareness Week, it was important that the charity gave people with deafness and hearing loss the opportunity to attend an iconic comedy venue that has played host to some of the most famous performers in the world.
"To achieve this, the show was supported by BSL interpreters, live subtitling and a hearing loop.
"But it was not just those with deafness and hearing loss who came to the show, people with various disabilities were also in attendance, including those using wheelchairs.
"We are committed to breaking down the barriers that prevent inclusivity for all and we will continue to work with venues to help improve their accessibility."

The Mosquito Menace
By: Mark Leon Goldberg on April 23, 2014
Ed note. This originally appeared in Project Syndicate and is reprinted with permission. World Malaria Day is April 25.
STANFORD – Mosquito-borne diseases kill millions of people annually, and cause suffering for many more. In 2012, there were an estimated 207 million cases of malaria, leading to some 627,000 deaths. Dengue fever is a leading cause of illness and death in the tropics and subtropics, with as many as 100 million people infected each year. And there are an estimated 200,000 cases of yellow fever annually, leading to 30,000 deaths worldwide.
It takes only one bite from a disease-carrying mosquito to transmit a debilitating or deadly infection – and mosquitoes breed and multiply with astonishing speed. Given that there are no vaccines or drug treatments for illnesses like dengue fever and West Nile virus, and that treatments for diseases like malaria are difficult to access in many at-risk areas, more effective mechanisms for controlling mosquito populations are desperately needed.
The good news is that a promising new technology is ready for field-testing. It is now up to government agencies to facilitate its development.
Today, the dominant method for reducing insect populations – the so-called "sterile insect technique" (SIT) – relies on radiation to sterilize males, which are then released into infested areas to mate. But this approach, which has been used since the middle of the last century, has not been effective with mosquitoes, owing to their fragility.
Advances in molecular biology offer analogous – but far more sophisticated – solutions. Using molecular genetic-engineering techniques, the British company Oxitec has created a new way to control the mosquito species that transmits dengue fever.
Male mosquitoes are bred in the laboratory with a specific genetic mutation. As a result, their offspring produce high levels of a protein that prevents their cells from functioning normally, causing them to die before reaching maturity. Male mosquitoes do not bite, so their release presents no health risk, and, because their progeny die, no genetically engineered mosquitoes persist in the environment.
If the males are released over a period of several months, this would, in theory, result in a marked reduction in the mosquito population. All that is needed now is to determine whether it works in practice.
Scientific research to develop products like irradiated sterile insects or the Oxitec mosquitoes proceeds progressively from more to less contained conditions – from the laboratory to confined trials to limited field trials. Now that Oxitec has conducted promising field trials in the Cayman Islands, Malaysia, and Brazil, it is preparing to conduct trials in other countries, including the United States.
Such trials are always appropriately controlled and monitored to ensure that they are safe and effective, with government regulation providing an extra safeguard. In order to determine the appropriate level of oversight, government bodies would presumably conduct a science-based risk analysis.
When it comes to genetic engineering, however, science seems to matter less than politics. The fact is that molecular genetic engineering is more precise and predictable than older, cruder techniques like irradiation. But, while SIT remains unregulated in most places, the regulatory reviews of genetically engineered living organisms have tended to be drawn out and excessive worldwide, with politics delaying – and sometimes even preventing – approvals. As a result, research and development in genetic engineering is more expensive, discouraging investment and hampering innovation.
This is all the more problematic in the case of mosquito control, given the urgency of the problem. The World Health Organization's Special Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases has called upon regulatory agencies to emphasize "science-based, case-by-case targeted requirements with a degree of practical parsimony," instead of relying on "a precautionary approach that can require data to address all theoretical risks." In other words, regulators should consider these innovations' public-health costs and benefits, and expedite their review.
Given the degree of suffering caused by mosquito-borne diseases, government leaders must not subject genetic-engineering solutions for controlling them to the same kinds of political and populist headwinds that have impeded the approval of genetically engineered agricultural products. Only with pragmatic, fact-based regulation can the world realize genetic engineering's full disease-fighting potential.

Gender: Justin is a FtM transgender, that is, he has the body of a female, but is a male inside. Male pronouns, please.
Appearance: Justin has short-shaggy brown hair, blue eyes and a slightly roundish gaunt face. If he had longer hair, and dressed girly, he'd look much more feminine. Now, however, he doesn't. He carefully makes his hair is not perfect, but a little messed up. He doesn't look like a girl, if you just look at him, considering he binds his breasts up so it's completely flat, even if it's a tad uncomfortable.
Sexuality: Straight, that is, he likes girls. He's open about liking girls, but not that he is physically female. He can act pretty perverted around other guys, so he can feel more like one of the guys.
Preferences: Although Justin prefers personality over looks, he likes it when girls have 'nerdy' glasses, odd colored hair and skinny jeans.
Likes: Justin likes being able to be himself, his family, pepsi, the color white, and baggy jeans.
Dislikes: Close-minded people, guys who treat girls bad, sexist jokes, the color pink and Aeropostal clothing.
History: Justin was born in a female body. He was born Emma Greene, to Ally and Bobby Greene. They were so excited for their little girl, after having two sons. Her brothers were very protective of 'her', and kept 'her' by their sides all the time. Justin grew up quickly and had a strong sense of maturity at a young age. Since Justin grew up as a girl, he is sensitive, but can also be a bit of a jerk. Justin came out to his parents the summer before this school started, and that's when they decided he could come to Nexus, so he wasn't taunted at his old school.
I dont think our characters will get along that much, but none the less you are my favorite person right now.

2018 Mercedes C-Class Range Now Available With a 1.5-Litre Petrol Engine
December 27, 2018 | Eashwar
Added in: Mercedes Benz
Mercedes Benz India has silently introduced a petrol variant for the recently updated C-class. The sedan was launched without any petrol engine option at first, but now it finally gets one. However, the petrol option is only available in the 'progressive' trim.
The engine option that Mercedes has gone with here is a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged motor. The engine produces 184 PS of power between 5,800 – 6,100 rpm and 280 Nm of torque, coupled with a 48V electric starter motor for better efficiency. 0-100 kmph is achieved in 7.7 seconds and the sedan can hit a top speed of 239 kmph. It is also more fuel efficient than the older petrol engine it replaces. It is rated for 16.3 kmpl and 140 gms of CO2 per km.
This being the progressive variant, it comes with the same features as the diesel-powered C 220 d Progressive variant. So it gets a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, open pore oak wood trim elements, active parking assist, electric sunblinds for the rear windows, LED headlamps, LED taillamps, 17- and 18-inch alloy wheel options and a 10.25-inch COMAND infotainment system.
The C 200 is priced at Rs. 43.46 lakh (ex-showroom) and this car rivals the likes of the Audi A4 30 TFSI Premium which costs Rs 41.47 Lakh, the BMW 330i M Sport Shadow Edition which is priced at Rs 47.30 Lakh and the Jaguar XE 2.0-litre Petrol Pure which is priced at Rs 39.73 Lakh.

Along with this petrol option the Mercedes C-class is offered in three different variants, which are powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine option which is offered in two different states of tune. The C 220d delivers 194hp power and 400Nm torque whereas the C 300d will deliver around 245 hp and go from 0 to 100 kmph in 5.9 seconds

Claes Bang (The Girl in the Spider's Web) has landed the lead role as Dracula in the three-part drama series for Netflix and BBC, Deadline has confirmed. Sherlock producer Hartswood Films is producing the project, which will begin filming next year.
Bang currently stars in the crime drama feature The Girl in the Spider's Web, based on the novel by Stieg Larsson. His other credits include The Square, The Bridge, Borgen, and upcoming titles The Bay of Silence, The Glass Room, and Lyrebird.
Dracula is inspired by Bram Stroker's classic novel and was written and created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. The 90-minute episodes will re-introduce the world to Dracula in 1897 Transylvania where the blood drinking Count is drawing his plans against Victoria London.
"It was one of those moments — who else could it be than Claes. He has it all. Brilliant, gorgeous, charismatic, lethal. Tall, dark and gruesome all at once," added Gatiss, Moffat, and Sue Vertue.
Wenger and Director of BBC Content Charlotte Moore Dracula commissioned the series, which is written and created by Moffat and Gatiss. Executive producers are Gatiss, Moffat, and Sue Vertue for Hartswood Films, Ben Irving for BBC and will be handled by Tanz for Netflix.

Bank Windhoek supports e-waste management
Staff Reporter WINDHOEK – Bank Windhoek recently collaborated with Kleentek Waste Management and Scrap Salvage on a reuse and recycle exercise of electronic waste which financially benefitted the Dagbreek School for the intellectually impaired. The initiative was facilitated by Recycle Namibia Forum (RFN). Aimed at environmental sustainability in the workplace, the initiative came about when Bank Windhoek requested its waste management service provider, Kleentek Waste Management, to collect 1.6 tons of electronic waste and related office equipment from the bank's establishments in and around Windhoek. The electronic waste was then transported to Scrap Salvage that logged it under the Dagbreek School Collection Centre. The centre disassembled and retrieved the recyclable material from the electronic waste and made payment to Dagbreek School based on the value of the recyclables. Electronic waste is a global concern since more than 20 million tons of it is produced annually. It is known as cast-off electronic equipment that has no use or has outrun its lifespan. Equipment includes devices such as computers, mobile phones and television sets. "When dumped in landfills, these electronic devices release toxins like lead, mercury and cadmium which leak into soil and water," said Recycle Namibia Forum's coordinator, Anita Witt. Known as the "recycling hub", Dagbreek School was chosen as a beneficiary because of its contribution to recycle awareness and promotion. The school has won the RFN's Schools Recycling Competition for three consecutive years. In 2017, it collected a total of 33 tons of recyclable material. To further continue on this path, the school has obtained collection bins to collect not only paper, plastic, cans and glass, but also electronic waste, household batteries and used light bulbs. Members of the public are encouraged to make use of the bins when they have such materials to dispose. Scrap Salvage has a skip container on site and regularly collects the recyclable waste and pays the school once it has been collected. "This exercise highlights the importance of taking responsibility for our own waste. It also reduces the amount of waste that ultimately ends up on our landfill. Thank you Bank Windhoek, RNF, Kleentek Waste Management and Scrap Salvage, we welcome these types of gestures. It means that our efforts at being environmentally responsible are being recognized," said Dagbreek School principal Paul du Plessis. Bank Windhoek's coordinator of sponsorship and events, Suzette January, said that as a responsible corporate citizen the bank will always strive to contribute to both environmental and health sustainability in Namibia. Bank Windhoek, Scrap Salvage and Kleentek Waste Management are members of RNF, a non-profit organisation aimed at coordinating projects that promote recycling, reduction and reuse of waste in Namibia.

Users can type "drug drop off near me" or "medication disposal near me" to see locations on Google Maps.
Last month, the company noticed Google searches for "medication disposal near me" reached an all-time high. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , 130 people die from an opioid overdose every day in the United States.
Google, a part of Alphabet, said it has worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, CVS, Walgreens and state governments on the project.
"Addiction to opioids can start after just five days of use, and the majority of prescription drug abuse (53%) starts with drugs obtained from family and friends," Dane Glasglow, Google Maps' vice president of product, wrote in a blog post. "That's why Google wants to help people get rid of leftover pills that are sitting in people's medicine cabinets, and to make drug disposal locations easier for people to find with a simple search."
The company said it has CVS and Walgreens location data for all 50 states. For seven states -- including Arizona, Colorado and Pennsylvania -- it has richer data, including hospitals and government buildings like fire stations and police stations. It plans to expand that to more states and locations soon.

### Writing Tests
Our current work flow uses [Behavior Driven Design](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-driven_development#Story_versus_specification) for development. To aid us in this process, we use the following tools:
- [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/1.0/index.html) as the test runner.
- [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) as the test framework.
- [Expectations](https://github.com/spmason/expectations) for handling assertions.
- [Sinon](http://sinonjs.org/) for Spies, Stubs, and Mocking.
- [isparta](https://github.com/douglasduteil/isparta) for ES6 code coverage support.
- As well as many Karma plugins...

In addition to using Behavior Driven Design, we also use these principles when writing our tests:
- The [*arrange*, *act*, and *assert*](http://defragdev.com/blog/?p=783) methodology.
- Testing the *behavior*, not the *implementation*. Some good articles are [here](https://googletesting.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/testing-on-toilet-test-behavior-not.html), [here](http://mdswanson.com/blog/2015/10/05/testing-behavior-vs-implementation.html), and [here](https://www.toptal.com/freelance/your-boss-won-t-appreciate-tdd-try-bdd).
- Writing tests that do not rely on other tests or on any global states.
- Only test one module per file, and explicitly import source and required testing tools into the file.
- Keep tests simple. `it()` functions should only have one assertion per call.
- Do not provide context in `it()` descriptions, use the `context()` function instead.
- Test descriptions should be brief, clear, and concise. E.g. `it('has a balance of zero')`.
- Only write assertions on the public API.

### Build Process
Our current build tool is [npm](http://npmjs.com/) and makes heavy use of the [scripts](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts) property. It's simple to use and easy to configure. Here are a few scripts to aid in development:

- `npm run lint` - lints all source code.
- `npm run test` - lints source code and runs Karma in CI mode.
- `npm run watch` - starts Karma in development mode (watch directory for changes).
- `npm run build` - compile, transpile, minify, and bundle, ready for production.
- To see all other scripts, see Moovie's [package](https://github.com/moovie/moovie/blob/master/package.json) file.

Releases are automatically published by  [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release). This keeps published releases as close as possible to the SemVer specification. Here are our current release streams:

- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/moovie)
- [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/moovie/moovie/releases)
- [unpkg](https://unpkg.com/moovie) (CDN for the browser bundle)

[Bower](https://bower.io/) is intentionally not supported. Read [this article](https://medium.com/@kentcdodds/why-i-don-t-commit-generated-files-to-master-a4d76382564#.p8c8vowtq) for the rationale behind this decision.

Analysis Articles Feature Fiorentina News Transfer Story
Report – Liverpool could agree £35million fee to seal midfield signing
December 22, 2022 December 22, 2022 Farjad Iftekhar 0 Comments newsnow
Liverpool are linked with a number of top quality midfielders and one of them is Moroccan international, Sofyan Amrabat.
As per yesterday's version of La Gazzetta Dello Sport (news image provided below), Fiorentina are hoping to hold on to the African superstar, who is yet to make a decision on his future.
News – £87million star ready to agree Liverpool move – Reports
The renowned Italian news source have mentioned that the Viola do not intend to sell their prized asset in January unless an offer of 40 million euros (£35million) arrive.
GdS claim Liverpool could agree a fee worth £35million to seal the signing of Amrabat. On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have been following the defensive midfielder for some time as well.
Fiorentina chief executive, Rocco B. Commisso, is hoping to keep the player in the winter window and offer him a new deal to increase his current salary of two million euros per season.
The 26-year-old star's current deal with the Serie A side will expire in the summer of 2024. He was one of the stars of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar and helped Morocco reach the semi finals.
Amrabat has not scored a single goal for his nation in 46 appearances and he has only found the net once in 78 appearances for Fiorentina. So, Liverpool basically want him for his exceptional play breaking abilities.
Over the years, Fabinho has been brilliant as our main DM but this season, the Brazilian international has been extremely poor. Therefore, Klopp is perhaps eyeing Amrabat to eventually replace the Samba star, who will turn 30 next year.
Have your say – Should Liverpool agree £35million fee to sign Sofyan Amrabat in January?

The Genotoxic Demo by Mutagenic Host
Review by Adam M on January 24, 2023.
This is a hardcore grind that has death metal aspects to it (Misery Index first came to mind when I was listening to this). The riffs are grimy and feature a great deal of distortion that leads to the main idea of the material being a sort of filthy outlet for the band. The guitar work is scalpel-like and heavy as could be with the drumming that is very solid and holding the material together quite nicely. The vocalist is a screamer with a typical grind sound to him so all in all, the musical performances are solid and somewhat daring even though it appears that the material is a bit under-produced.
This leads to the biggest fault with it. It sounds sort of generic because the production isn't very strong and brings the music down a notch. The sound isn't crisp as it could be and the guitars could be produced better. The entirety of the music is sort of feeling like it has a certain hollowness to it. Despite reasonable musicianship, there just isn't anything to become overly enamored with on this album and the relative indifference towards the music brings the whole experience to be mediocre at best.
So when all is taken together, this is a reasonable attempt at grind with a death metal feeling, but it doesn't sound potent enough to make a true impact. The entirety of this material glides by at a lightning speed and one never becomes overly engaged with anything that is going on. Still there isn't anything inherently wrong with this demo and with a little more effort to make things more unconventional, this could really become something more captivating. As it stands at this time though it is only a good effort that could've been made better.
Rating: 6.4 out of 10

Leicester midfielder Praet dismisses Fiorentina return
by Ansser Sadiq 2019-12-12 14:28:46.000000
Leicester City midfielder Dennis Praet has rejected the idea of going to Fiorentina imminently.
The Belgian signed a five year deal after signing from Sampdoria, but he is already being linked with a move back to Italy.
Praet has struggled for regular game time in Brendan Rodgers' high flying side this season.
"The rumors about my return in January? False," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I also read, for example, about Fiorentina, but I'm happy here.
"I am not yet a starter, but I aim to become one soon.
"Then in the future who knows: it would be nice to come back to Sampdoria, maybe."

Laird: We can have no excuses
www.southendunited.co.uk
Midfielder says Blues must respond in front of home fans on Saturday
Marc Laird said there was no excuse for Blues' display against Rochdale as they slipped to a 4-2 defeat at Spotland.
Laird was starting his first game under new boss Phil Brown and while he was pleased to be back playing again, he was left disappointed as Blues were unable to overcome Keith Hill's side.
The midfielder said: "We are disappointed because in the second-half we got taught a lesson.
"We did well to get the goal back when we did right at the start of the second-half and that should have been a platform for us to build from.
"But we conceded poor goals after that and that's the worst bit about it because they were all poor goals to concede.
"It was great to be back playing again personally, it feels like a while since I last played.
"I tried to work hard and do my bit for the team but we're all disappointed with the result tonight."
Laird felt that Blues needed a bit of luck if they were to get a result, and believes Barry Corr's effort that came back off the post was a turning point.
"Barry was a real handful all night but it just didn't fall for him unfortunately," Marc said.
"You need things like that to go for you, it's no excuse for the performance, we have to do better as a team and individually.
"We have to pull together, try and get as high as possible in the table as we can.
"We don't want the season to fizzle out so Saturday is an important game for us now."


Conducted biannually-during April/May and December-January.
Registration in the month of March and November.

Pokemon Go down: Hacking group claims responsibility for bringing down game's servers 'with DDOS attack'
HYPEBEAST/Independent:
If you've been having a little trouble connecting to Pokémon Go today, take some solace in the fact that you aren't the only one: fresh off a rollout in Europe, the beloved mobile games servers have gone down across both Europe and North America.
"Due to the incredible number of Pokémon Go downloads, some trainers are experiencing server connectivity issues. Don't worry, our team is on it!" explained developer Niantic on its website. However, something slightly more sinister may be at play here: according to reddit, PoodleCorp — who has previously targeted the likes of popular YouTuber Pewdiepie — is actually responsible for the downed servers thanks to a DDoS attack.
PoodleCorp has recently targeted high profile YouTubers such as Pewdiepie, according toGearnuke.
A DDOS, or Distributed Denial of Service, is a way troublemakers crash servers by flooding them with so many requests every second that they cannot cope.
On Saturday, users across the US and Europe complained they were unable to access the game, or that it was freezing.
When news spread of the attack, players took to social media to voice their outrage.

This guy quit his job to travel the world catching Pokémon
VICE:
Sure, Pokémon Go may be kind of boring and riddled with bugs, but who cares? How else are you going to venture into the world, catch 500 Weedle, and then go home to drop a lucky egg and just evolve like crazy to gain XP to become a master trainer?
Unfortunately, it's hard to find the time to commit to a serious Pokémon regimen, what with the jobs and responsibilities and laundry or whatever. That's why one brave soul in New Zealand has done what so many around the world don't have the guts to do: He quit his job to travel around, playing Pokémon Go full-time.
"I have been working for six years, and I was desperate for a break," 24-year-old Tom Currie told the Guardian. "Pokémon gave me the chance to live that dream."
The Guardian reports that Currie has already hit six towns in New Zealand, and has bus tickets to keep going for the foreseeable future.
"Tom is a very spur-of-the-moment, independent kid, he always has been," Currie's mother told the Guardian. "His nana and I don't understand the game, but I remember him loving it in his childhood. I am just glad he is out enjoying his life and seeing so much of New Zealand."
Currie has been on the road for a week now and already bagged 90 of the original 151 Pokémon. That means that if you are holding a gym somewhere in New Zealand right now with just a lame-ass 500 CP Pinsir, Currie is probably on his way to give you a very rude awakening.

New gaming chair aims to be the ultimate in comfort for Japanese players
RocketNews 24 (by Cara Clegg):
Japanese company Bauhutte has recently launched a new range of gaming chairs specifically aimed at gamers who are typically in front of their computers for long periods of time. Available in three colors and designed in the image of a car seat or cockpit to bring more realism to your gaming experience, the stable frame will support your posture for long hours at your terminal or in front of your giant TV.
It features reclining and rocking functions and easy and convenient adjustment of angle and height. With the simple pull of lever you can set it to your desired angle or even recline it all the way back for a comfortable sleeping position that reportedly feels just like being in a hammock, perfect for taking breaks between games.
Simple but impactful color coordination and solid and unique stitch lines aim to evoke a "near-future" design.
Made with 100 percent polyester fabric, the seat offers comfortable support for your shoulders and back, and arm rests can be easily moved to facilitate gaming with either a keyboard and mouse or controller.
The chair went on sale in Japan this month for 34,000 yen (US$308) plus tax.

Daily life in Tokyo, as an animated pixel GIF
Japanistas (by Pamela Drobig):
Tokyo can be chaotic, relaxing, exciting, an adventure, or plain and simply: beautiful. One pixel artist, who goes by the name 1041uuu, has created breathtakingly amazing pixel-style gifs to capture daily life in and around Tokyo.
1041uuu's whole tumblr site is filled with animated Tokyo scenery, be it a slow and rainy day, a calm sunset behind Tokyo's skyscrapers, or a beautiful afternoon with cherry blossoms.
The gifs are simple, the movements subtle – but that is exactly what makes the artist's work so intriguing and unique. They wonderfully illustrate a never-sleeping city like Tokyo, that, especially to people living in the metropolis, is so much more than its landmarks and hot spots.
The longer you look at 1041uuu's gifs, the more there is to discover. Be it some subtle movement that you didn't noticed before, or a beautiful small detail hidden in the pixels. The images perfectly capture the symbiosis between calm day to day life and the business of the big city.
Be sure to visit 1041uuu's tumblr and Twitter page to discover more of their work.

Nintendo upgrades Super Mario Maker with keys and doors unlocking new game designs
WIRED (by Chris Kohler): Nintendo just pushed a deceptively simple upgrade to Super Mario Maker that has a profound effect on its design.
Players of the Wii U game—which allows you to make and share your own Mario levels—can now add keys and locked doors to their designs. Additionally, they can drop in Red Coins. Collect five and a key appears.
It's a small feature addition, the sort of thing that wouldn't take Nintendo very long to implement. But it will cause a fundamental shift in the types of levels players can create. With keys, doors, and collectible-triggered unlocks, you can make non-linear levels that demand thorough exploration to finish. This can lead to levels that feel more like an adventure than a run to the finish.
One extra feature that goes along with the key item adds another wrinkle. Keys also can be hidden inside enemies, which must be defeated to get the key. This unlocks the ability to create boss fights—those epic enemy encounters that must be won before Mario can move on.
Since the game's September launch, Mario Maker creators have pushed against the limits of the game's editor, which is intuitive and seamless but doesn't quite let you do everything you'd find in an official Mario level. People have devised elaborate kludges to simulate mid-level checkpoints and have tried creating "boss battle" type situations to varying, and ultimately unsatisfying, results.

Pokémon fan creates spectacular 3D hologram battle dome entirely from scratch
RocketNews 24 (by Scott Wilson):
Who hasn't wished that they could have a Pokémon battle in real life? Nintendo 64 game and its successors were fine and all, but they were basically just glorified Game Boy battles; we want to see Pokémon slamming into each other, breathing fire and ice, and maybe — just maybe — actually touching one ourselves.
And now thanks to Reddit user kennywdev, the world is one step closer to that dream
Kennywdev wanted to create a 3D game to move holograms around using QR codecards. However, what started out as a generic project suddenly got interesting when they decided to use Pokémon as the test subjects.

How anime 'Yo-Kai Watch' beat 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' at the box office in Japan
Japan Times (by Giovanni Fazio):
As 2015 came to a close, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was the movie on everyone's lips, with fans dressed up in costumes and camping out to buy tickets, and a social media presence bigger than the Jabba the Hutt. Yet, despite breaking all box-office records on its opening weekend in the United States, the new "Star Wars" ranked only No. 2 in Japan (with more than 800,000 viewers), beaten to the top spot by "Yo-Kai Watch the Movie 2: King Enma and the 5 Stories, Nyan!," which had almost 1 million viewers. A week later, this cheap and chirpy big-screen version of a Japanese kids cartoon derived from a Nintendo game kicked Jedi butt again.
So, the story would seem to be that anime still rules the domestic box office. A quick look at Japan's top-grossing films in 2015 reveals that six out of 10 were animated movies (three of which were domestic), and anime topped the box office for 20 individual weeks with films like "Big Hero 6″ and "Bakemono no Ko" ("The Boy and the Beast") beating competition such as "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" and "Terminator: Genisys."
Then again, opening weekend in Japan is still based on Saturday-Sunday figures. If the Friday opening revenue for "Star Wars" was included, the film would have beaten "Yokai Watch" by a good margin. The force finally prevailed and on week three of release, "Star Wars" is No. 1.
It's worth noting though that despite the graying of Japan, cinemas are scoring best with films aimed squarely at the pre-teen market.

Mark Charlies, Native rights activist, writer, and friend of Healing Minnesota Stories, announced his presidential run in this 9-minute You Tube video. In it, Charles emphasizes the need for a national Truth and Conciliation Commission on par with what happened in South Africa, Rwanda, and Canada.
Pope: Indigenous People Should Have Final Say on Decisions that Affect their Land
Pope Francis, the first Pope from Latin America, said this month that that indigenous peoples have the right to "prior and informed consent" — that nothing should affect their land and resources unless they agree, according to an article in The Guardian.
The Pope made the comments in Rome following the third Indigenous Peoples' Forum, the article said.
Francis also told his audience "humanity is committing a grave sin in not caring for the earth", and urged them to resist new technologies which "destroy the earth, which destroy the environment and the ecological balance, and which end up destroying the wisdom of peoples." He called on governments to enable indigenous peoples to fully participate in developing "guidelines and projects", both locally and nationally.
Rosebud to Hold Keystone XL Hearings
TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) lost the Keystone XL pipeline construction season because of legal challenges. But the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) reports that "the company has asked the courts to lift the current injunction so that they can immediately begin to build their man-camps and pipe-yards."
"TC Energy has indicated it will be looking at a very ambitious 2020 construction season to make up for the lost time, as well," the update said. Therefore, the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Utility Commission is holding a public hearing on the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline on May 28 and 29. You can watch the hearings here.
Rosebud and the Fort Belknap Indian Community sued the Trump Administration in September, 2018 asking the court to overturn the Keystone XL pipeline presidential permit which they claim are illegal. NARF is representing them.
School Changes Dress Code, Allowing Native Student to Wear Eagle Feather at Graduation
Tvli Birdshead of the Chickasaw Nation wanted to wear an eagle feather and other regalia to his graduation from Latta High School in Oklahoma. He and his mom Taloa Birdshead contacted the school to let them know. The principal and superintendent rejected their request, according to NARF, which intervened on their behalf.
According to NARF, it joined Tvli and Taloa, the ACLU and over 50 members of the local Native community in attending the Latta School Board meeting on Monday, May 6. "After hearing about the cultural and religious importance of eagle feathers and other regalia, the board agreed to amend their graduation policy in order to accommodate Tvli's request."
