Ah, Nudie, the Swedish gateway denim for so many lifelong fans. Andrew Harback of Vancouver was a longtime Nudie fan whose "heart stopped" when he saw these at a local sample sale for $60.
He can't rock them at his day job as a wedding photographer, but they've seen a decent amount of wear regardless. The phone fade was the first to give, after that the crotch has required continuous reinforcement from the scraps Andrew saved off his hems.
Here's to many happy returns on the rest of these jeans' days!

För Dargomyzjskijs opera, se Rusalka (Dargomyzjskij).

Rusalka är en tjeckisk sagoopera i tre akter med musik av Antonín Dvořák. Librettot är skrivet av den tjeckiske poeten Jaroslav Kvapil.

Historia
Under en semesterresa till ön Bornholm 1899 inspirerades Jaroslav Kvapil till att skriva en operatext, som visserligen passade väl in på förra sekelskiftets förkärlek för det mystiska, men som varken tilltalade Oskar Nedbal, Josef Bohuslav Foerster eller Josef Suk. Först genom direktören för Prags Nationalteater František Šuberts försorg hamnade texten hos Dvořák, som genast blev fascinerad av dess lyriska och impressionistiska innehåll och tonsatte operan mellan april och november 1900. Han tog tillvara erfarenheterna från sina talrika verk och begagnade sig av alla de stilmedel som han ansåg var lämpliga för att karakterisera de båda obesjälade, men inkännande naturväsendena och de besjälade, men emotionellt labila människorna. Dvořák använde sig i operan av hela sin epoks samlade uttrycksrepertoar utan att lämna minsta känsla musikaliskt obeaktad. Klassiskt kompositionssätt, motiviskt arbete, lied- och ariaformer tillsammans med impressionismens klangfärgsteknik och expressionistiska gester förenas i en syntes. Härigenom lyckades tonsättaren på ett övertygande sätt förmedla berättelsens irrationella värld till publiken, och operan fick genomgående gott anseende på den internationella scenen.
Det tjeckiska ordet "Rusalka" har ryskt ursprung och betyder "förtrollat och förtrollande kvinnligt väsen". Rusalka är besläktad med de väsen som i sagorna, legenderna och myterna kallas för nymfer, sirener, undiner eller sjöjungfrur. Sjöjungfrumotivet är inte ovanligt och Kvapil hämtade troligen inspiration från sagor av Karel Jaromir Erben och Božena Němcová liksom från Friedrich de la Motte Fouqués saga Undine och H. C. Andersens Den lilla sjöjungfrun.

Operan uruppfördes på Nationalteatern i Prag den 31 mars 1901. Svensk premiär på Operahögskolan i Stockholm 14 november 1992.

Personer
 Rusalka, vattennymf (sopran)
 Prinsen (tenor)
 Den främmande furstinnan (sopran)
 Vattenanden (basstämma)
 Jezibaba, häxa (alt)
 Skogvaktaren (tenor)
 En kökspojke (sopran)
 Jägaren (tenor)
 Tre skogsnymfer (2 sopraner, alt)
 Skogsnymfer, slottsgäster, sjöjungfrur (kör)

Handling
Akt I

Djupt inne i skogen. I sommarnatten dansar skogsnymferna och sjöjungfrurna vid sjöstranden och retar Vattenanden. Endast hans dotter Rusalka är olycklig. Hon önskar sig mänsklig gestalt och själ, för att kunna vinna den unge prinsen som hon hastigt såg när denne badade i havet. Han har dock aldrig sett Rusalka eftersom hon är osynlig för människornas ögon. Förgäves varnar Vattenanden sin dotter för denna slags kärlek. Rusalka ber en häxa om hjälp. Denna beviljar Rusalka hennes önskan, men under villkoret att hon blir stum. Skulle den älskade vara otrogen, då döms hon att irra omkring hemlös. När prinsen under jakten förirrar sig ned till havsstranden, lyckas Rusalka erövra hans kärlek genom sin tysta skönhet och han för henne med till sitt slott. Men kärleken svalnar snart eftersom han inte förstår sig på denna egendomliga, stumma varelse.

Akt II

Vid dammen i slottsparken. För folket på slottet framstår den tysta bruden som sällsam och kuslig. Prinsen älskar visserligen den vackra okända flickan, men irriterar sig samtidigt över hennes främmande väsen. En furstinna som har blivit inbjuden till bröllopet utnyttjar detta och gör öppet erotiska närmanden mot brudgummen.
Rusalka flyr till dammen och beklagar sin olycka för Vattenanden. När prinsen lidelsefullt uppvaktar furstinnan, drar Vattenanden ned Rusalka till sitt rike och hotar den otrogne brudgummen. Djupt skakad av förlusten av sin sanna kärlek, faller prinsen i själslig vanmakt.

Akt III

På sjöstranden. Rusalka, som nu är hemlös och bannlyst ut sina systrars krets, söker på nytt upp häxan. Men hon kan endast få hjälp genom att döda den otrogen prinsen. Endast mänskligt blod kan frälsa henne. Men det varken kan eller vill Rusalka. Även prinsens skogvaktare och en kökspojke söker upp häxan för att finna bot mot deras herres djupa depression. Denne lär av en ondskefull varelse ha tvingats till giftermål och sedan blivit sjuk genom trolldom. Den vredgade Vattenanden fördriver dem båda.
Skogsnymferna vill på nytt roa sig med Vattenanden, men denne berättar bekymrat för dem om Rusalkas sorgliga öde. På havsstranden söker prinsen efter Rusalka för att be henne om förlåtelse. Hon vill rädda hans liv men det enda han vill är att lämna världen. Hon svävar som ett irrljus över havet. Hon förklarar då, att hon inte kan ge mänsklig värme och att en kyss skulle döda honom. Han ber ändå om denna dödskyss och de sjunker tillsammans ner i vattnet.

Taking Credit
May 10, 2003 | by Emuna Braverman
True success in business -- and in life -- comes when it's not about you.
"Some Bosses Never Meet a Success that Isn't Theirs" was the title of a recent Wall Street Journal piece (April 23/03).
It's a far cry from what a friend wrote in my eighth grade yearbook, "There is no limit to how much a man can accomplish or how far he can succeed as long as he doesn't mind who gets the credit." And it's even more distant from the Jewish teaching that states that giving credit to the source of an idea will bring the ultimate redemption.
When we give others credit, we subjugate our egos and demonstrate it's not only about me. This is the key to living in harmony with others.
There are three Jewish holidays where the entire Jewish people would descend upon Jerusalem. How did everyone fit in the Temple? The Talmud says that when everyone stood upright, it was uncomfortably crowded. But when everyone bowed their heads, there was plenty of room.
If we stand proud and arrogant, demanding our due, we crowd out others and impede the potential for unification. But if we humbly make room for others and resist the pull of our ego, unity becomes a realistic goal.
In case the prevention of the lofty ideal of "peace on earth" doesn't quite impede your upward career projective, taking credit for yourself is not an effective way to lead, especially if you're stealing someone else's ideas and creations.
As Jared Sandberg, the author of the WSJ article suggests, taking unwarranted credit breeds distrust and torpedoes motivation. Taking the credit may give the ego a temporary sense of accomplishment, but that illusory feeling will eventually be lost in the toxic and unproductive workplace you've built.
Who wants to work for a boss who steals their efforts? Who wants to be innovative only to watch their supervisor reap the rewards?
"You never lose any credit by giving it away."
But I'm no business expert. I've never run a business or managed employees. I've never been tempted to steal credit in order to enhance my standing in an employer's eyes in the hopes of a raise, a bonus, more power or more honor. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's possible to succeed financially by stepping on others and appropriating their ideas as your own.
I do know that it's not possible for your character to remain intact. By taking unjustified credit, making your work a shrine to your ego, you undoubtedly hurt the originator of the idea, and most probably your relationship with your colleagues. But the person most damaged is you.
Professor Paul Lapides, of Kennesaw State University's Corporate Governance Center, suggests "You never lose any credit by giving it away." (Ibid.) You are raised in the eyes of your employees and co-workers. You create an environment of trust and openness. People are inspired to be creative and think independently. Everyone feels invested in the outcome and accomplishments are greater.
I know a man who runs a multi-million dollar mutual fund. All his colleagues attribute his success to his team spirit and his nurturing of others. "It was never about him," they say.
Ethics of our Fathers teaches that "If a man runs after honor, honor runs away from him; but if a man runs away from honor, honor pursues him."
We all recognize how unpleasant it is to spend time with someone whose focus is only on him or herself -- how alienating and painful it is (not to mention boring) -- and how such efforts at self-aggrandizement ultimately fail. We know stories of people who are constantly seeking honor who end up on the front page of the New York Times involved in the latest fraud scandal.
There are fewer stories of those whom honor chases. Since they don't seek public acclaim no one but a select few know who they are. Yet their impact is deep and lasting.
I heard once of a great rabbi who grew up in abject poverty. Things reached such a drastic point that his father had to go to the school administration and explain that he was pulling his son out of the Jewish day school and sending him to public school because he could no longer afford the tuition.
A wealthy man overheard this conversation and later told the principal he would sponsor this student. The donation was anonymous and his name is lost to history. But his contribution isn't. All the students of this rabbi, all of his Torah learning and accomplishments, are in his merit. It's a tremendous honor but a very private one.
Human nature has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Whether the workplace is a cave, an open-air market, a desert caravan, a pushcart or a high-tech company, the principles are the same. True success in business -- and in life -- comes when it's not about you. And not only will you boost your company's morale and profits, you just might have a role in bringing the redemption.

I appeciated this article. I currently work for someone who usurps my ideas as her own, and it is harder to go to work each day than when I have had real curmudeons as bosses. I would rather work for a foul mouth tyrant, than a two-faced smiling demom. Thank you for the wonderful article!

It's true in true love, as well
I am a writer. I recently met and fell for the most wonderful lady. Whenever I attempt to tell her in some clever way how I feel about her, she compliments me on how "beautifully" I express myself. But I never take credit. I always tell her that she is the inspiration behind my words. And it's the truth.

Will IIS on Windows XP support accessing website from remote machine?
Normally we used to access php webpages on Apache from remote machine by entering the ip address.
We have tried the samething with IIS also. But it seems IIS on XP is not supporting this option.
We tried to access ASP webpages from different machine within the LAN by entering the IP address. But it didn't work.
Even the "Ip address and Domain name restriction" option is disabled in "Directory Security" tab. Refer the below screenshot.
When I searched the internet forums, most of the people are saying that IIS on Windows XP won't support accessing website from remote machine within LAN.
It seems only IIS on Windows Server will support this feature.
But when I checked the websites tab I can see the option for entering IP address for the website. Refer the below screenshot.
I am just wondering why IIS on XP should have an option for specifying IP Address when it is not supporting this feature(i-e accessing remote websites by giving ip address).

Latest work with IntechOpen by Akbar Hossain
Due to the changing climate, food security for the increasing population has raised a great threat globally. Therefore, it is imperative to find alternate solutions for enhancing agricultural sustainability through plant stress physiology. The concept of plant stress physiology has been well-established over the past 60 years due to the increasing trends of environmental stress. Researchers have found that crop stress physiology has an association with two main areas, one is concerned with agronomy, the other concerned with plant breeding. The contents of the current book emphasize the integration of both breeding and agronomy strategies to ensure agricultural productivity and environmental safety under changing climate.

Concept and Consequence of Evapotranspiration for Sustainable Crop Production in the Era of Climate Change
By Rajan Bhatt and Akbar Hossain
The chapter provides an inclusive information related to the adverse effect of climate change on sustainable crop production through understanding evaporation, transpiration as well as evapotranspiration. It is anticipated that water availability in arid and semi-arid regions across the world will decrease, due to lack of rainfall and increase the temperature which leads to increase in the dry areas. Since climate change will impact on soil water balance that leads to change in evaporation and plant transpiration. While, with the increasing temperature, lack of precipitation and soils water unavailability, crop production will likely to decrease through shortening the crop growth cycle. While soils with high water holding capacity and crop cultivars which are tolerant to adverse effect as well as the application of improved management strategies will be better to reduce the impact of drought. Similarly, if the irrigated areas will be expanded, the total crop production will be increased that ultimately lead to increase the food security of increasing population.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Rice-Wheat Systems of South Asia Is Influenced by Terminal Heat Stress at Late Sown Condition: A Case in Bangladesh
By Akbar Hossain, Mst. Tanjina Islam and M. Tofazzal Islam
Wheat plays an important role in attaining food and nutritional security in Bangladesh after rice. The demand of wheat has been increasing every year at the rate of 13% due to rapid changes in dietary habits, socio-economic upliftment, enhancement of per capita income, etc. Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute (BWMRI) has already released 34 high yielding, disease-resistant, and abiotic stress-tolerant wheat varieties, and improved management practices to the farmers. Although all the released varieties have climatic yield potential as high as 6.0 t ha−1 with the attainable average yield is 4.0–4.5 t ha−1, the national average yield in farmers' field is only 3.49 t ha−1; it is specified that there is a huge yield gap existing among potential, attainable and actual yields. One of the most important reasons for this yield gap of wheat is the terminal high temperature stress (HS) in late sowing wheat. Generally, farmers in Bangladesh are sowing wheat lately due to delay in sowing monsoon rice and subsequent late harvest of the rice; as a result, late sown wheat faces terminal HS at reproductive stage. The chapter highlighted the consequences of terminal HS on wheat and potential approaches to mitigate the stress in Bangladesh.

Consequences and Mitigation Strategies of Heat Stress for Sustainability of Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Production under the Changing Climate
By Ayman EL Sabagh, Akbar Hossain, Mohammad Sohidul Islam, Muhammad Aamir Iqbal, Shah Fahad, Disna Ratnasekera, Faraz Azeem, Allah Wasaya, Oksana Sytar, Narendra Kumar, Analía Llanes, Murat Erman, Mustafa Ceritoğlu, Huseyin Arslan, Doğan Arslan, Sajjad Hussain, Muhammad Mubeen, Muhammad Ikram, Ram Swaroop Meena, Hany Gharib, Ejaz Waraich, Wajid Nasim, Liyun Liu and Hirofumi Saneoka
Increasing ambient temperature is a major climatic factor that negatively affects plant growth and development, and causes significant losses in soybean crop yield worldwide. Thus, high temperatures (HT) result in less seed germination, which leads to pathogenic infection, and decreases the economic yield of soybean. In addition, the efficiency of photosynthesis and transpiration of plants are affected by high temperatures, which have negative impact on the physio-biochemical process in the plant system, finally deteriorate the yield and quality of the affected crop. However, plants have several mechanisms of specific cellular detection of HT stress that help in the transduction of signals, producing the activation of transcription factors and genes to counteract the harmful effects caused by the stressful condition. Among the contributors to help the plant in re-establishing cellular homeostasis are the applications of organic stimulants (antioxidants, osmoprotectants, and hormones), which enhance the productivity and quality of soybean against HT stress. In this chapter, we summarized the physiological and biochemical mechanisms of soybean plants at various growth stages under HT. Furthermore, it also depicts the mitigation strategies to overcome the adverse effects of HT on soybean using exogenous applications of bioregulators. These studies intend to increase the understanding of exogenous biochemical compounds that could reduce the adverse effects of HT on the growth, yield, and quality of soybean.
Maize Adaptability to Heat Stress under Changing Climate
By Ayman EL Sabagh, Akbar Hossain, Muhammad Aamir Iqbal, Celaleddin Barutçular, Mohammad Sohidul Islam, Fatih Çiğ, Murat Erman, Oksana Sytar, Marian Brestic, Allah Wasaya, Tasmiya Jabeen, Maham Asif Bukhari, Muhammad Mubeen, Habib-ur-Rehman Athar, Faraz Azeem, Hakki Akdeniz, Ömer Konuşkan, Ferhat Kizilgeci, Muhammad Ikram, Sobhy Sorour, Wajid Nasim, Mabrouk Elsabagh, Muhammad Rizwan, Ram Swaroop Meena, Shah Fahad, Akihiro Ueda, Liyun Liu and Hirofumi Saneoka
The rapidly increasing human population is an alarming issue and would need more food production under changing climate. Abiotic stresses like heat stress and temperature fluctuation are becoming key issues to be addressed for boosting crop production. Maize growth and productivity are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Grain yield losses in maize from heat stress are expected to increase owing to higher temperatures during the growing season. This situation demands the development of maize hybrids tolerant to heat and drought stresses without compromising grain yield under stress conditions. The chapter aimed to assess the updates on the influence of high-temperature stress (HTS) on the physio-biochemical processes in plants and to draw an association between yield components and heat stress on maize. Moreover, exogenous applications of protectants, antioxidants, and signaling molecules induce HTS tolerance in maize plants and could help the plants cope with HTS by scavenging reactive oxygen species, upregulation of antioxidant enzymes, and protection of cellular membranes by the accrual of compatible osmolytes. It is expected that a better thought of the physiological basis of HTS tolerance in maize plants will help to develop HTS maize cultivars. Developing HTS-tolerant maize varieties may ensure crops production sustainability along with promoting food and feed security under changing climate.
Elevated CO2 Concentration Improves Heat-Tolerant Ability in Crops
By Ayman EL Sabagh, Akbar Hossain, Mohammad Sohidul Islam, Muhammad Aamir Iqbal, Ali Raza, Çetin Karademir, Emine Karademir, Abdul Rehman, Md Atikur Rahman, Rajesh Kumar Singhal, Analía Llanes, Muhammad Ali Raza, Muhammad Mubeen, Wajid Nasim, Celaleddin Barutçular, Ram Swaroop Meena and Hirofumi Saneoka
The rising concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (aCO2) and increasing temperature are the main reasons for climate change, which are significantly affecting crop production systems in this world. However, the elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration can improve the growth and development of crop plants by increasing photosynthetic rate (higher availability of photoassimilates). The combined effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) and temperature on crop growth and carbon metabolism are not adequately recognized, while both eCO2 and temperature triggered noteworthy changes in crop production. Therefore, to increase crop yields, it is important to identify the physiological mechanisms and genetic traits of crop plants which play a vital role in stress tolerance under the prevailing conditions. The eCO2 and temperature stress effects on physiological aspects as well as biochemical profile to characterize genotypes that differ in their response to stress conditions. The aim of this review is directed the open-top cavities to regulate the properties like physiological, biochemical, and yield of crops under increasing aCO2, and temperature. Overall, the extent of the effect of eCO2 and temperature response to biochemical components and antioxidants remains unclear, and therefore further studies are required to promote an unperturbed production system.

Angela Marquez bids farewell to MSU Denver
The executive director for Inclusion and HSI will join the Community College of Aurora.
Angela Marquez, Ph.D., has accepted the role of vice president of student affairs at the Community College of Aurora. Marquez announced her departure from Metropolitan State University of Denver in late December after serving the University for six years and helping lead a successful initiative to achieve Hispanic-Serving Institution status.
"Angela's passion for and commitment to diversity and inclusion have left an indelible mark on MSU Denver," said President Janine Davidson, Ph.D. "Her efforts to achieve HSI status and to open doors and opportunities for our students as well as our employees are deeply appreciated. While we are sad to see her go, we are confident she will continue to do great work for Colorado students, and we look forward to more opportunities to partner with CCA."
Marquez has devoted her career to promoting diversity and inclusivity in secondary and postsecondary education. She is a former executive director of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the University of Colorado Denver. She joined MSU Denver in 2013 as the associate equal-opportunity director and later was promoted to special assistant to the president for HSI. During her time as a Roadrunner, Marquez co-chaired the President's Advisory Council of Academic Excellence and Student Success and was responsible for leading the 60-member cross-functional HSI implementation team and achieving official federal Hispanic-Serving Institution designation for MSU Denver.
In her new role, Marquez will exercise her experience in compliance, disability services, diversity and inclusion, enrollment and retention to support CCA's diverse student body and inclusion efforts.
"I have truly enjoyed being a Roadrunner. Our commitment to educating the students of Colorado has given me space to lead, to advocate and to identify recommendations on ways to better support diverse populations," Marquez said. "Taking this new position at CCA is bittersweet because I will miss all the wonderful people I have worked with here. But I also look forward to my new role focused on leading in Student Affairs at the Community College of Aurora. Like MSU Denver, CCA is committed to providing access and opportunity to higher education to its very diverse population. Their students do well with us when they transfer, and I think it is because we share the value of putting students first and we both consciously work to improve experiences and outcomes for all students."
Marquez holds bachelor's and master's degrees in psychology as well as a Master of Liberal Studies certificate in adult learning, training and development from Regis University. She earned a doctorate from Colorado State University in education and human-resource studies, with a specialization in higher education and education leadership.

Part 29 of Shipping Wonders of the World was published on Tuesday 25th August 1936.
This issue included a colour plate illustrating the Breaksea lightship in the Bristol Channel, which formed part of the article on the Port of Bristol. The plate was attached to page 909 of part 29.
This week's cover shows the famous old-time racing cutter Mohawk, her lee-rail awash. In 1896, the Mohawk won the Royal Yacht Squadron's Queen's Cup. Her owner at that time was Major Orr-Ewing.
In the City Docks and in the docks at Portishead and Avonmouth are ample facilities for the handling of general cargoes. Most of the import of bananas from the Caribbean to Great Britain is handled at Avonmouth, where also are up-to-date granaries and oil storage installations. Bristol has been a great port from the earliest days of British seafaring, when nearly all our great mariners came from the West Country. From Bristol the Cabots set sail in 1497 to discover Newfoundland. Bristol was, in fact, the port of the Merchant Venturers, and to-day it still retains its former greatness and is one of the leading ports of the British Isles. Bristol's principal imports are bananas, oil and grain, apart from general cargoes. This chapter is by Sidney Howard and is the ninth article in the series on Great Ports of the World.
vessels were freemen and not galley slaves, as was the practice among Oriental nations. Despite their small radius of action - due to the fact that they carried no reliefs - the galleys were remarkably fast. One of them is recorded as having covered 168 miles in twenty-four hours, at a speed of seven miles and hour. As much as ten knots could be attained for short periods.
THE BRIGANTINE DECOY-SHIP Q 17 was the Helgoland, 310 tons, built in Holland in 1895. She was armed with four 12-pounders and a Maxim gun. Her name was changed at one time to Horley. Stationed at Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, she was renamed Brig 10 later at Gibraltar. She was 122 ft 9 in long, with a beam of 23 ft 3 in and a draught of 8 feet aft.
A two-page photo-feature on the Principessa Jolanda, launched on September 22, 1907, and shown below.
The Sunderland firm of Doxford has long specialized in this class of vessel, and the ship illustrated above was completed in 1930. The Peebles is a shelter-decker, with a deadweight tonnage of 9,200 and a draught of 24 ft 8 in, her dimensions being 422 ft 9 in by 54 ft 3 in by 28 ft 8 in. She is propelled by a two-cycle opposed-piston Doxford diesel engine, developing 1,800 bhp at 115 revolutions. The speed of the Peebles is approximately 11 knots. The compactness of the main engine and its lightness, which are both attributable to a welded construction, have made possible a small machinery space, and only 40 feet out of the total length are required for the machinery. The main engine exhausts into a boiler which supplies steam for running all the auxiliaries necessary for the ship at sea; an oil-fired boiler supplies power required for the deck auxiliaries' use in port. There are four cargo holds. Nos 1 and 2 are forward of the engine-room and Nos 3 and 4 are aft, but between No 2 and the engine-room is a deep tank. Of the six double bottom tanks, the first and the last - Nos 1 and 6 - are for water ballast only. The use of the other holds - Nos 2 and 3, and No 5 - are for water ballast or for fuel. The use of these holds for fuel would naturally increase the radius of operation of the ship. The holds have a total capacity for grain of 402,990 cubic feet. Other spaces are also available, making a total of 569,600 cubic feet in all. The corresponding bale capacity is 511,150 cubic feet. The total water ballast capacity is 1,733 tons. Officers' accommodation is amidships; the crew is aft in the 'tween decks. This is the twenty-first article in the series on Merchant Ship Types.
The story of sailing vessels that were used as trap-ships and decoys during the war of 1914-18, concluded from part 28.
THE LARGEST VESSEL OF HER TYPE so far built in Italy, the Principessa Jolanda was being launched on September 22, 1907, near Spezia, in the Gulf of Genoa, when an inexplicable incident happened. A large section of the cradle clung to the hull and burst into flames, causing the vessel to incline at an angle of 60 degrees. The Principessa Jolanda described a curve to the eastward and turned on her side. The Principessa Jolanda was 485 feet long and had a breadth of 49 feet. Her displacement was 10,500 tons. She was designed to carry 180 first-class, 170 second-class and 1,100 third-class passengers, in addition to a crew of 240. The photograph (top left) shows the liner about to take to the water.
(Middle left) TAKING THE WATER on the occasion of her inauspicious launch, the Principessa Jolanda is about to maker her first and last acquaintance with the waters of the Mediterranean.
The carriage of fruit presents special problems to the shipowner, for it is impossible to mix citrous and non-citrous fruit cargoes, because the one will spoil the other. Modern fruit ships are among the fastest cargo ships afloat. This chapter is by A C Hardy and describes the conditions prevailing in the fruit trade to-day, deals with the general design of the fruit ship and gives details of the most interesting vessels employed in the trade. This is the fourth article in the series Romance of the Trade Routes.
Under the leadership of King Xerxes, an immense Persian army, supported by a fleet of unexampled size, invaded Greece in 480 BC. Undaunted by this menace, the allied Greeks met the Persian fleet in the strait between the island of Salamis and the Greek mainland, and totally defeated the invader. The Battle of Salamis was one of the first great naval battles, where the ships of the colossal Persian Empire were defeated by the superior tactics of the much smaller Greek fleet, just as many hundreds of years later our own small British ships defeated the Invincible Armada. This chapter is written by Lieut.-Com. E. Keble Chatterton and is the first article in the series on Decisive Naval Actions.
WHITE-PAINTED HULLS (above) are characteristic of fruit-carriers. The Eros 5,888 tons gross, was built in 1936. She is a single-screw steamship with an overall length of 431 feet and a beam of 54 ft 6 in. She has a raked stem and a cruiser stern, and is designed mainly for the Central American and West Indies banana trade.

THE BOWS OF THE Principessa Jolanda during her brief career. The tugs which accompanied the launch were unable to do anything to prevent the disaster. Happily no lives were lost.
LISTING HEAVILY, the Italian liner, gaily dresses for the occasion of her launch, is about to turn over on her side. Her launching value was about £200,000. When completed, the Principessa Jolanda was intended to have 10,000 horse-power engines.
HELPLESS SPECTATORS who had come to see a triumphant launch watched the final moments of the Principessa Jolanda as she began to disappear from view. The largest Italian liner at the time of her launch, she had bunkers designed to carry 2,500 tons of coal.
AT REST and on her side. Vain efforts were later made to raise the vessel. Some of the boilers were salved after the superstructure had been blown away. Everything else had to be abandoned.
THE ROYAL EDWARD DOCK at Avonmouth. The two extensions the Western Arm and the eastern Arm are seen in the top left-hand corner. The Western Arm is devoted exclusively to the oil trade, being nearer to the Bristol Channel. The large block of buildings in the centre is part of the Authority's elaborate grain-handling system. The cold stores connected with the transit shed by two conveyor galleries are adjacent to the granaries.
IN THE HEART OF TH CITY are the Bristol City Docks. In the left foreground is the entrance from the Cumberaldn Basin and adjacent are timber wharves. The total area of the City Docks is 181 acres, 83 acres being water.
THE BREAKSEA LIGHTSHIP IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL (below) is the subject of this arresting picture by Charles Pears, ROI. The artist has illustrated a most important event in the life to the men who operate the lightship - relief and provisions being brought on board from a Trinity House tender. The Breaksea lightship is well known to navigators in the Bristol Channel. She has a red hull and carries a ball at her masthead. Her light shows one white flash every fifteen seconds and is visible at a distance of eleven miles. Her fog siren when in operation gives one blast of two and a half seconds every twenty seconds. Her submarine fog bell gives three quick strokes followed by an interval of ten seconds. The lightship's position is lat. 51° 20' N, long. 3°18' W, off the Glamorganshire coast.
buntlines. Two steering oars are provided. Additional freeboard is given by the fitting of matting screens. The exact purpose of the ladder-shaped objects is unknown. The smaller one may be a gang-plank.
Ships' boilers at first were built on the lines of early land steam boilers, but before long improvements were incorporated to make the boilers more suitable for marine purposes. This chapter is by F E Dean and is the eighth article in the series Marine Engines and Their Story.
ONE OF THE TUBULAR BOILERS fitted in HMS Janus in 1844, at the suggestion of Thomas Cochrane, tenth Earl of Dundonald. Four boilers were used in HMS Janus, and the model illustrated shows one of them in section with its three furnaces opening into a common combustion chamber at the back of the boiler.
SLEWING ROUND (top right) to enter the East India Dock, London, where the cargo of bananas is discharged. The Jamaica Settler was built in 1910 at Birkenhead as the Highland Laddie, and originally designed as a meat carrier. She was a vessel of 7,256 tons gross, with a length of 405 ft 9 in, a beam of 56 ft 1 in and a depth of 34 ft 7 in. She was sold for scrap in 1935.
A MODERN DANISH FRUIT-CARRIER (centre left), the Canadian Reefer was built for J. Lauritzen of Copenhagen in 1936. A sister ship, the Chilean Reefer, was added to the fleet later in the same year. These modern motorships have a refrigerated space of about 127,000 cubic feet and travel at a speed of about 14 knots.
With the famous sailing ships Erebus and Terror, Captain Sir James Clark Ross, the intrepid explorer and keen scientist, sailed through the pack-ice in search of the supposed Antarctic Continent in 1840-43. Ross was the first man to reach the Antarctic Continent which lay beyond the ice-pack that had turned back so many of the early explorers. This chapter is by Lieut.-Com. R T Gould and is the fifth article in the series on Epics of Exploration. It is concluded in part 30.
IN COLLISION DURING A SNOW-STORM, the Erebus and the Terror were for a time at the mercy of the wind and the icebergs. Two icebergs had suddenly loomed up in the falling snow and the Erebus was forced to hear to port in the path of the Terror. The ships collided and the bowsprit and fore-topmast of the Erebus were carried away. By a daring and clever manoeuvre Ross was able to separate the two vessels.

ECM New Series 1922 DDD 52:17
In his booklet note, Rolf Lislevand writes, "21st-century historical performance practice is hamstrung by a most inconvenient contradiction in its ambition to achieve authenticity in improvisation." In other words, modern musicians interested in playing music from the 1600s (for example), cannot do so without bringing music history since that time – and their own musical experiences – into the mix. Improvisation was part of how music was performed in the 17th century. To play that music today, it is impossible to be innocent of what happened yesterday, last month, last year, or in the last centuries. Lislevand's solution to that problem is not to ignore it but to live with it and enjoy it.
The name "nuove musiche" comes from the 17th century, when composers made a break with what was seen as the hyper-cerebral polyphony of the previous century. Composers associated with the so-called Camarata Fiorentina – men such as Giovanni Girolamo Kapsberger, Domenico Pellegrini, Alessandro Piccinini, and Girolamo Frescobaldi – aimed for a new simplicity and immediacy in their music. Lislevand has named the current CD Nuove musiche because he sees it as part of the natural development of historical performance practice. Also, the music truly is new, in the sense of never having been played before. The source material, composed by the aforementioned composers and others, instead of being performed as a fixed sequence of notes on a page, is treated dynamically, as an opportunity for group improvisation. As one might imagine, the concept of "authenticity" in such a context becomes paradoxical, but paradoxes are entertaining things.
All this would be academic if the result were cold, dull, or ugly, but Nuove musiche is a life-enhancingly beautiful CD, and it is informed by Lislevand's extensive experience as performer of early music; he's not a barbarian running rampant through the daisies. He and his colleagues respect the source material, and it is never used as grist for anyone's ego. The word "fusion" appropriately has been applied to this CD. Throughout the course of 52 minutes, allusions to flamenco, to Celtic music, and even to jazz and progressive rock (vaguely) come and go, but they are so well integrated and flow so naturally from the source materials that they never seem at all strange. These seven musicians respond to each other like the most accomplished veteran jazz septet, but more importantly, they are responding to the original music – not corrupting it, but re-composing it.
The CD was recorded in Oslo, and features some of ECM's most intimate and detailed sound. Even the way it is has been recorded suggests a fond departure from authenticity – technology has been used to sweeten and intertwine the contributions of each musician, from Lislevand's virtuosic fretwork to Savall's gorgeous and siren-like vocals. Not a fan of early music? This CD will charm you anyway. If you are a fan, then I suspect you will get far more pleasure than pain out of Lislevand's re-imaginings. Highly recommended!

The bird probably ingested lead ammunition fragments from big game carcasses. Lead bullets have been a source of controversy in the US hunting community for years. Conservationists argue for the use of alternatives such as copper bullets. Shooting sports advocates say non-lead ammunition is costly and that lead has been used for hundreds of years.
The topic has also become a flash point in national politics. In early 2017, the day before former president Barack Obama left office, his administration signed an order phasing out the use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle on most federal lands managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The ban was overturned less than two months later by the former interior secretary Ryan Zinke.
It is the third time an eagle trapped for research in the northern Yellowstone region has died of lead poisoning in the last eight years.
Mark Oliva, public affairs manager for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said that in the face of windfarms and loss of habitat, lead ammunition is just not that big of a threat. "Hunters can also bury gut piles if they are afraid it will be a threat to the environment," he said.
In Yellowstone, the golden eagle population is stable with large numbers particularly in the northern regions of the park. But reproduction is exceptionally poor, said Doug Smith, a senior wildlife biologist in Yellowstone.
In a first-of-its-kind study in the park, Smith and a graduate student in Montana placed a radio transmitter on one golden eagle in August and five more in early 2019 to figure out why.
Smith cannot say if lead poisoning from ammunition is an overall threat to Yellowstone's golden eagle population or the cause of low reproduction. The study is still in its infancy. But he wanted the public to know a prized species living in a protected area like Yellowstone could die from human activity outside the park's boundaries.

How many members are needed for trust?
Format of Charitable Trust Deed is given below. The Trust Deed should be registered with the Sub-Registrar / Registrar in the particular area.
The name of the Trust shall be __________________ …
The above said sum of Rs. …
The term 'Trust Property' shall mean and include the said sum of Rs.
In order to be valid, a charitable trust must fulfill certain requirements. The settlor must intend to create this type of trust. There must be a trustee to administer the trust, which must consist of some res or trust property. The charitable purpose must be expressly designated.
Trust Deed Constitution for a Charitable Trust – CO. CHA. … This Trust Deed Constitution for a Charitable Trust is designed for use where it is decided that the charity should not be set up in a corporate form, and that it would be more appropriate to use instead the Constitution for an Unincorporated Charity.
IMPORTANT: Can partnerships make charitable contributions?
Checklist for Trust registration: Documents Required
The most important document required for Trust registration is 'Trust Deed. …
Identity proof such as Voter ID, Driving License, Aadhaar Card, Passport etc.
Passport size photographs of all the parties of the Trust Deed.
Aadhaar Card of each party of the Trust.
2 Who can form a Trust? Minimum 2 Trustees are necessary. There is no limit on the maximum number.
As per section 5 of the Indian Trusts Act, a personal Trust about an immovable property must be created by a non-testamentary instrument in writing, signed by the author of the trust or the trustee, and registered (under Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act).
The objectives for which Trust Fund is established are educational, social, cultural, economical and medical relief to the poor and downtrodden and advancement of any other charitable and developmental objects of general public utility and community welfare.
Charitable trusts are enforced by the Attorney General of the state in which the trust is located.
A charitable remainder annuity trust or a charitable remainder unitrust is exempt from California income tax, except for years when it has unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Even though exempt from California income tax, such a trust must file Form 541-B for the calendar year.
All types of trusts (with the exception of Superannuation Trusts) established in either NSW, NT or Victoria need to be duty stamped upon execution. This can be done either directly by the relevant state revenue office (depending on the state) or by an agent.
IMPORTANT: Is it better to volunteer locally?
As a general rule, a charitable trust may last forever, unlike a private trust. In a private trust, the designated beneficiary is the proper person to enforce the trust. In a charitable trust, the state attorney general, who represents the public interest, is the proper person to enforce the trust.
Company limited by guarantee (governing document: memorandum and articles of association for company formed before September 2009; articles of association for company formed since then); CIO (governing document: constitution).
Filing a Petition with Probate Court
If the Trustee fails or refusing to comply, then you must file a petition with the California probate court. In the petition, you ask the court to order the Trustee to provide a copy of the Trust documents to you.
Go to the local registrar and submit a trust deed along with a photocopy for registration. The photocopy of the deed must also contain the signature of the settler on all pages. At the time of registration, the Settler and two witnesses must be present in person and their identity proof in the original.
Further, there is no limit on the maximum number of trustees. But a minimum of two trustees are necessary to form a Trust. Also, the author generally cannot be the trustee. And he needs to be a resident of India.


Amazon lures more industry giants to their shores.
You may not have heard of Christoph Hartmann, but I'm certain you've heard of 2K and some of their more obscure little series like Bioshock, X-Com, NBA2K and Sid Meier's Civilization. Well, 2K's president and founder, Hartmann is now heading up Amazon Game Studios which will no doubt be gunning to take its own bite of the massive gaming pie.
AGS was founded in 2014 with the goal of creating games in between AAA titles and casual games using Amazon's sheer wealth of resources and seemingly endless capital. In 2016 they announced three games: Breakaway (a brawler which was eventually cancelled), Crucible (a last-man-standing third person shooter) and New World (a massively multiplayer, sandbox game). They all look pretty cool and sound interesting. I'm certain Crucible will be pushed to take the crown from Fortnite and PUBG. You can see the trailers here.
He's not wrong. Amazon certainly isn't without potential to shift the gaming landscape, and maybe with Hartmann at the helm they can turn the games in development into incredibly successful IPs in the footsteps of 2K and forge a formidable games developer in the process.
Oh, to make that happen, they're also looking to hire many, many people. If you're interested.

DISPLAYING ELITE HOCKEY AGILITY WORLDWIDE!
"My son Guy played on Sunday and helped his team wine 5 - 3 with a goal and an assist and 'killed off' 4 penalty killing situations of 5 on 3! He says he's seeing the play develop better and is able to react and respond quicker and more effectively - while using up less energy in the process! Online Self Training seems to be really helping him in his defensive role as much as his scoring!"
"You are truly a pioneer in the development of the hockey player, without a doubt as innovative and knowledgeable as anyone who has come before you."
"Austin's father and I have certainly noticed a dramatic evolution in his skating and game awareness ability since taking part in your online program. We are looking forward to his next opportunity to skate for you."
"Benefits: Dynamic visual acuity, eye tracking, peripheral awareness, depth perception, eye-hand-foot-body coordination."
"I would like to tell you that I just finished a game of track the puck. I got very good. I'm excited because I only have 11 games left to do. I find now that when I do it consecutively I do much better than if I do it every once in a while. I thank you very much for this program. My goal is to finish AA by the end of the week. I'm looking forward-to moving up to AAA."
"I started the online training and it is great. I will continue to do it at least 2 times a day."
"...Lucas got 5 points in his last game. He loves your Track the Puck system. He seems to be making very smart plays in his on-ice game. He's looking forward to getting to his next level."
"Steven's game play has reached a new level. He seems better focused on primary action, not so easily distracted. His reaction times are improving and his decision making is split-second... Thank you for guiding us in the direction of visual training."
I just tried your new online training program "Dynamic Vision". I think it's great! It's more of a challenge than "Track the Puck", so it interests me.
Steven has tried "Dynamic Vision", 2 tests, and likes it. He thinks it's fun. This dynamic interaction has mentally stimulated him and I sense his excitement. Thanks for striving to create the next "Great One", he is out there somewhere.
Lucas has tried your dynamic vison a few times. He gets excited to go on line and try it. He enjoys it quite a lot. It puts him well in tune with his eye and brain reaction. It's a great challange!
I finally got chance to try out for myself your Dynamic Vision ... All I can say is WOW! This is truly AWESOME and I would say 5-10 times more STIMULATING than Track the Puck... Though TTP is a logical beginning, DV is MUCH MORE HOCKEY LIKE! What a sequel! IT'S FANTASTIC!
After trying the new program only four times, I feel that it is more challenging than Track the Puck because of the moving pucks. The moving pucks make me think quicker and also make it much more exciting. I love the new program.
I enjoyed the track the puck training. It really helped me during games. Also I think the dynamic vision was fun and challenging.
The competition is tough but I seem to be getting better. Of the programs I especially like your Wide Angle Vision.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INGENUITY! These "exercises" are phenominal! THEY WILL MAKE MY SON A BETTER PLAYER and BETTER ACADEMIC STUDENT AS WELL!!!!
I tried your new game and thought it was great. I like how you really need to think and concentrate on what you're doing. I also like it because it's a fun challenge that my whole family likes.

90 Day Fiance: Are Jasmine and Gino Finally Having A Baby?

Victoria Liotta
90 Day Fiance stars Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo met online sometime in March 2020. The 51-year-old Michigan native was instantly impressed by Pineda's beauty and brains being anxious to start a life with her. He met her in person during an episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. Fans recognized how toxic they were for each other from the get go but, that didn't stop the couple from moving forward.
An Unexpected Successful Pairing (So Far)
Although Gino admitted to having sent Jasmines nudes to an ex, she still accepted his proposal and the couple is now engaged to be married. And, most recently, it's been rumored that they might even be adding a new addition to their relationship.
Early on Jasmine came across as a gold digger and referred to herself as a "crazy Panamanian girlfriend." She also broke some trust in their relationship when Gino found out that she had been taking birth control pills without telling him. She explained that she was "afraid" of getting pregnant and that they weren't yet ready to make a baby. However, When Gino asked his fiance, "some point down the road, you might change your mind," she responded with a "yes."
A lot Can Change In A Year
A post shared by Jasmine Pineda (@jasminepanama1)
A year following their first meeting, it seemed as though Jasmine's mind was changed when it came to having children. A source told Overtimer "JAsmine got pregnant in late January, and at the beginning of March, she was about five weeks gone."
On the same note, Jasmine has posted a big pregnancy clue in a now-deleted Instagram Story. The photos shared Gino cuddling a teddy bear with a gif sticker saying "daddy to be."
Another Instagram story showed her fiance holding pink baby booties and a hat which had "princess" written on it. She also captioned it, "Crossing our fingers it's a princess." BUT, she also posted this on April Fools Day which has everyone skeptical of the truth.
There are currently two directions that this news can go in. Jasmine may have been playing a prank on her followers given the anticipation of them having a child. OR, this could be her way of sharing the news without full revealing it, assuming that her fans would treat it like a joke given the day of the year.
During the 90 Day Tell All the Panama native revealed that her and Gino barely get intimate. However, Gino denied those claims. All in all, we have yet to know the truth of her pregnancy and probably won't know much until the couple appears on the franchises spin-offs.

Using magnets in alternative medical treatments and orthotics is a common practice throughout many regions of the globe.
Magnetics-affected charged particles and have been proclaimed to exert a healing force on our bodies. Magnetic shoe insoles have been shown to reduce foot ache and give one a boost.
Let's take a look at why magnetic insoles are a favorite.
Magnets have been in use in medicine since the 1500s in recorded history. They are known to increase blood flow and aid oxygen to circulate the body. If this is the case, magnetic insoles can be highly beneficial to those with neuropathy, diabetes, leg or foot inflammation, feet injuries or infections, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis and many more types of discomfort in the feet.
Science has however conducted experiments to assess if these claims are valid. The studies proved that magnets work largely as a placebo, with effects of the magnetism being minor. However, there is orthotic value in acupressure points, which many magnetic insoles seem to have. When the magnets are placed at certain anatomical points in the feet, they can release pressure and provide relief in conditions such as plantar fasciitis.
Over and above this, there are millions of people worldwide who have claimed to benefit mainly from magnet treatments, claiming that magnetic insoles work better than ordinary ones. Let's take a closer look at magnetic shoe inserts.
In a poll done on magnetic insoles and ordinary insoles, it showed that 40% of the participants benefitted from using magnetic insoles. If regular insoles are not doing your foot pain enough justice, you may want to try a magnetic insole with acupressure point release to help your tired feet during the day.
A magnetic insole has further benefits over a non-magnetic insole than improving circulation.
Magnetic insoles that have magnets which are spaced apart and arranged in a way that amplifies the magnetic field are proclaimed to align our magnetics with the Earth's magnetic field. This alignment has shown to be beneficial for some individuals, imparting a subtle boost to their strides and remedying tired, aching feet.
Athletes who are susceptible to magnetic effects may wish to purchase magnetic insoles, as some have claimed that magnetic insoles provide extra shock absorbency due to their ability for repulsion.

Tech Flash Vol. 5 No. 19 -- Food Engineering's E-Newsletter
FDA issues strategic plan for risk communication
The US FDA last month issued its Strategic Plan for Risk Communication, which outlines the agency's efforts to disseminate more meaningful health information. The plan also lays out a framework for FDA to provide information about FDA-regulated products to health care professionals, patients and consumers in the form they need it and when they need it, and for how the agency oversees industry communications.
The plan defines three key areas-FDA's science base, its operational capacity and its policy and processes-in which strategic actions can help improve the FDA's communication about the risks and benefits of regulated products. The plan also identifies more than 70 specific actions for the FDA to take over the next five years, including 14 that the agency commits to accomplishing over the next year. They include:
Developing a "library" of multimedia communications on safe food practices for general education purposes and for use with crisis communications concerning food contamination episodes
Posting pictures of FDA-regulated products affected by Class I or high-priority Class II recalls as part of recall notices/information
Developing an expert model to characterize tobacco-use related consumer decision-making and better understand the likely impact of FDA oversight of tobacco products
Producing a research agenda for public dissemination
Creating and maintaining a useful, easily accessible internal database of FDA and other relevant risk communication research
Developing detailed action plans at the agency and center levels for implementing and achieving the proposed action steps, including timelines, responsibilities and resource needs.
The plan reflects the FDA's belief that risk communications must be adapted to the needs of different audiences and should be evaluated to ensure effectiveness. The plan also focuses on improving two-way communication through enhanced partnerships with government and non-government organizations, and focuses on policies that affect areas of high public health impact.
Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation
Food & beverage industry backs national objective to reduce obesity
Launched recently, the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation (HWCF), a national multi-year effort to help reduce obesity-especially childhood obesity-by 2015, is a coalition consisting of major food and beverage processors, retailers and non-government organizations (NGOs). The HWCF will promote ways to help people achieve a healthy weight through energy balance. The initiative focuses on three critical areas: the marketplace, workplace and schools.
HWCF members have already committed $20 million to this joint initiative. The programs seek to raise awareness and increase the understanding of balancing a healthy diet with physical activity, particularly among children ages six to 11, and their parents and caregivers. The Foundation's efforts will be monitored and evaluated by an independent group that will publicly report its findings. The HWCF consists of a combination of 40 companies and partner organizations, including the American Council for Fitness and Nutrition Foundation, PE4Life, the American Dietetic Association Foundation, and others.
Key participants in the first organizational meeting included:
Lisa Gable, executive director, Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation
David Mackay, president and chief executive officer, Kellogg Company; chairman of the board, Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation
Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, M.D., M.B.A., president and chief executive officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Indra Nooyi, chairman and chief executive officer, PepsiCo; vice chair and member of the board, Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation
Dan Sanders, chief executive officer, United Supermarkets
Craig Rupert, principal, Woodland Elementary School, Kansas City.

Poultry producers challenge EU delays in opening trade barrier
The Office of the US Trade Representative is being jointly urged by four concerned poultry industry groups to have the World Trade Organization (WTO) determine if a major barrier to US poultry exports to the European Union is a violation of WTO rules. In a September 24 letter to US Trade Representative Ron Kirk, the National Chicken Council (NCC), USA Poultry & Egg Export Council, National Turkey Federation and the National Association of Manufacturers re-confirmed their strong support for US Trade Representative action that would result in a WTO dispute settlement panel that addresses the EU's blocking action against four antimicrobials that reduce pathogens during poultry processing.
The four antimicrobials, according to Richard Lobb, NCC director of communications, are chlorine dioxide, trisodium phosphate, acidified sodium chlorite and perecetic acid (peroxyacid). These chemicals have been approved by the EU scientific advisory board, but have not been approved by the EU at the political level, says Lobb.
In the letter to Kirk, the groups noted that early in 2009, WTO dispute settlement consultations were held with the EU in an attempt to move the EU toward official approval of the four antimicrobials that are FDA/USDA-approved and have been proven in the US and EU to be safe and efficacious in reducing pathogens on poultry. Since the official consultations earlier this year resulted in no resolution of the issue, the poultry producers feel it is now "most appropriate to take the issue to the next step in the WTO dispute settlement panel process, namely requesting that the issue be addressed by a WTO dispute settlement panel."
While the use of the four antimicrobials was found to be safe in terms of human consumption of cooked poultry by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA Journal (2005) 297, 1-27), a further question was raised concerning the potential emergence of antimicrobial resistance to the four chemicals. The European Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) was tasked with finding the answer by the end of March, 2008.
In its final report in April of 2008, SCENIHR found: "Limited specific evidence on the potential of these treatments to produce bacterial resistance, if used on poultry carcasses, is currently available. Nevertheless, the chemicals are able to select less susceptible strains of salmonella and some other pathogens. There is insufficient data to determine whether they may cause cross resistance to antibiotics or the selection of specific microbial groups associated to resistance."
SCENIHR also found: "There is an environmental concern about the possibility that resistant strains could be disseminated or selected in the waste waters and the general environment. In addition to the human health risk, the production of bacterial resistance is relevant for the environmental impact assessment. Additional information is needed for a proper assessment of these issues and the environmental consequences. This cannot be covered in this opinion due to the lack of available information."
The EC had appointed a Panel on Biological Hazards, which found no published data to conclude the application of the four biocides to poultry carcasses, "will lead to the occurrence of acquired reduced susceptibility to these substances. Similarly, there are currently no published data to conclude that the application of chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chlorite, trisodium phosphate or peroxyacids to remove microbial contamination of poultry carcasses at the proposed conditions of use will lead to resistance to therapeutic antimicrobials."
According to the NCC, US poultry exports to the EU have been banned since 1997. If the EU were an eligible market for US poultry, it is estimated that annual poultry exports would top $300 million.
