Die ISO/SAE 21434 "Road vehicles – Cybersecurity engineering" ist eine Norm zur Cyber-Security in Kraftfahrzeugen. Der Status der ISO-Norm ist seit August 2021 "Published". Die Benennung zeigt an, dass die Norm gemeinsam von einer Arbeitsgruppe der ISO und der SAE entwickelt und dann freigegeben wurde.

Aufgrund der zunehmenden Risiken durch Cyber-Angriffe auf Fahrzeuge und weil die Infrastruktur zu Online-Updates von Fahrzeugen (OTA), Flottenmanagement, Kommunikation zwischen Fahrzeugen (Car2x/V2X) und weiteren Anforderungen die Fahrzeuge neue Angriffsflächen bieten, soll die Norm Maßnahmen für die Entwicklung vorschlagen. Sie steht in Zusammenhang mit der UNECE-Regelung R 155 "Cyber security and cyber security management system". Die UNECE R 155 fordert eine Zertifizierung der Fahrzeughersteller hinsichtlich eines Cyber Security Management Systems. Diese Zertifizierung ist Voraussetzung dafür, dass ein Fahrzeug in der EU und anderen Vertragsstaaten eine Typgenehmigung für die Zulassung zum Straßenverkehr bekommen kann. Die Anwendung der ISO/SAE 21434 gilt als ein Baustein, um die Zertifizierung zu erleichtern. Allerdings deckt sie nicht alle Anforderungen der R 155 ab.

Ziele der Norm
Die Norm gilt für Komponenten (elektronische Bauteile und Software) von Fahrzeugen, die in Serie gefertigt werden, sowie Ersatz- und Zubehörteile. Sie umfasst die Phasen der Entwicklung, Produktion, Betrieb, Wartung und Recycling im Lebenszyklus eines Fahrzeuges. Infrastruktur außerhalb des Fahrzeugs, wie beispielsweise Server des Fahrzeug-Herstellers für Diagnosen, Software-Updates oder Diagnosetester (Off-Board-Diagnose) werden von der Norm nicht erfasst.

Die Aktivitäten in der Produktentwicklung nach Norm werden auf Basis einer Risikoeinschätzung gesteuert, dazu werden Maßnahmen zur organisatorischen Verankerung gefordert. Prozesse werden zwar gefordert, die Norm beschreibt jedoch nur jeweils die Aufgabe eines Prozesses, überlässt die Gestaltung des Ablaufs aber den Unternehmen. Spezielle Technologien oder Lösungen werden nicht vorgeschlagen, und autonome Fahrzeuge erhalten keinen Sonderstatus in den Empfehlungen dieser Norm.

Inhalt und Aufbau
In Inhalt und Aufbau finden sich im Standard Ähnlichkeiten zur ISO 26262 "Road vehicles – Functional safety", auf die an verschiedenen Stellen Bezug genommen wird. Der Aufbau der Norm ist derzeit einteilig mit folgender Kapitelstruktur:

Kapitel 4 und die Anhänge (Annexes) A–J sind informativ.

Bedrohungsanalyse und Risikobewertung
Ein zentraler Punkt der ISO/SAE 21434 ist die Bedrohungsanalyse und Risikobewertung. Das allgemeine Bestreben, eine Bedrohungsanalyse und Risikobewertung durchzuführen, wird in Kapitel 8 beschrieben. Die Konzeptphase, wie in Kapitel 9 beschrieben, besteht aus der Definition des Untersuchungsgegenstandes (Abschnitt 9.3), dem Finden von Cybersicherheitszielen (Abschnitt 9.4) und deren Bündelung zu einem ganzheitlichen Cybersicherheitskonzept (Abschnitt 9.5). Der größte Teil der Identifizierung von Cybersicherheitszielen besteht darin, sich auf das in Kapitel 8 beschriebene Vorgehen zu berufen.

Die Hauptschritte bei der Durchführung einer ISO/SAE 21434-konformen Bedrohungsanalyse und Risikobewertung sind (in der Reihenfolge einer idealisierten linearen Ausführung):
 Item-Definition (Abschnitt 9.3)
 Asset-Identifizierung (Abschnitt 8.3)
 Identifizierung von Bedrohungsszenarien (Abschnitt 8.4)
 Schadens-Bewertung (Abschnitt 8.5)
 Angriffspfadanalyse (Abschnitt 8.6)
 Bewertung der Durchführbarkeit eines Angriffs (Abschnitt 8.7)
 Risikobestimmung (Abschnitt 8.8)
 Entscheidung zur Risikobehandlung (Abschnitt 8.9)
 Ziele der Cybersicherheit [RQ-09-07]
 Cyber-Sicherheitsansprüche [RQ-09-08]
 Cyber-Sicherheitskonzept (Abschnitt 9.5)

Yak fiber
Yak fiber is the term commonly used to refer yak fiber wool produced from the coat hair of yaks (Bos grunniens), a long-haired bovine mainly found in the Himalayan region, Tibetan plateau, and some areas of Mongolia and Central Asia.
Yak fiber wool has been used by nomads in the Tran-Himalayan region for over a thousand years to make clothing, tents, ropes and blankets. More recently the fiber has started to be used in the garment industry to produce premium-priced clothing and accessories.
3.1 Traditional
3.2 Fashion
Types[edit]
The coat hair of the yak is composed of three different types of fiber that vary greatly in appearance and characteristics. The quantity of fiber produced by one yak is dependent on factors such as sex, age and breed of the yak, and the proportions of the different layers vary throughout the different seasons.[1]
The coarse: Mostly used by nomads in tent making, this fiber has a size range of 79–90 microns forming the outer coat of long hair that characterizes the appearance of the yak.
The mid-type: With a diameter size between 20–50 microns, this fiber is naturally strong but not stronger than the outer layers to make ropes and tents and not as fine as the down fiber for the textile industry.
The down fiber: This is the finest fiber (16–20 microns) and is generally shed by the animal during late spring/early summer period. Therefore, this fine layer needs to be harvested before it is shed in the summer season. Down fiber, and fewer sweat glands, are two examples of how yaks have adapted to survive extreme cold temperatures (sometimes as low as −50 °C, or −58 °F) and altitudes well above 3000 m.[2]
Yak wool has similar properties to other animal fibers, including breathability and static-resistance, but has been proven to outperform sheep wool in a number of areas.
Warmth: In woollen garments, air pockets are created between the fibers that reduce the rate of heat transfer. This property combined with lanolin (a hydrophobic grease present in wool fibers) allowing wool to keep you warm when wet. Yak wool is rich in myristic acid, a type of hydrophobic fatty acid.[3] Independently conducted tests on yak down suggest that it is warmer than Merino wool. Nonetheless, claims vary on how much warmer it is with values ranging between 10 and 40 per cent.
Softness: Cashmere is known in the textile industry as one of the softest wools with a fiber diameter of less than 18.5.[4] The diameter of the down fiber of the yak also ranges 16–20 microns making its softness comparable to that of cashmere. Species-specific DNA probes have been developed to identify yak, which is used to quantitatively test yak-cashmere blends.[5] Although cashmere has already been firmly established in the market, yak wool has potential to be sold as a luxury product due to its softness and the (currently) sustainable and eco-friendly means used for gathering the fibers.
Breathability: In general, wool's comfort comes from its thermo-balance characteristics. The breathability factor of a material depends on its ability to absorb moisture relative to its weight and then release it into the air. The higher the absorption value the better the textile is at adapting to humidity level changes. Wool can absorb over 30 per cent of moisture, greater than cotton (25 per cent) and far greater than polyester which can absorb only 1 per cent of its weight.
Odor-resistance: Contrary to popular belief, yaks do not have a strong odor. Unless combined with the bacteria that live on the skin, sweat is odorless. The anti-microbial properties of yak fibers prevent bacteria from living on sweat thereby considerably reducing odor.[citation needed]
Uses[edit]
Traditional[edit]
The coarse outer fibers have been traditionally used by nomads to make ropes and tents. In earlier times, the coarse hair was mixed with down hair to make the weaving denser. However, the current increasing demand for the down fiber from the international market means that the fine fiber is mostly sold.[6] The rarity of the white hair implicates that ropes made out of white and black Yarn is admired for its appearance and uniqueness.[7] In west Sichuan, China, 34 per cent of the animal fiber comes from yak hair alone.[8] In Bhutan, the long hair is used for weaving tents, bags, rugs and slings, whereas in Mongolia it is used for clothing tents and bags. To obtain the optimal length, nomads comb the hair and then spin it into yarn. During this process, the loom determines the width of the tent squares and the length of the tent. The tent squares are then sewn tightly together by men.[9]
Fashion[edit]
Since the mid-20th century, experiments on the material have been carried out encouraging the interest of the garment industry in yak wool, where its exotic nature and favorable performance characteristics make it an attractive alternative to cashmere. The head of design of Lyle and Scott considers yak and other wools to be "natural and incredibly flexible, more than any technical yarns".[10] The first brand to bring high quality yak wool khullu to the luxury market was the social enterprise Norlha Textiles in 2007. In 2017 Norlha Textiles employs over 100 local Tibetan nomads and trains them as artisans. In 2012, the famous French luxury brand Louis Vuitton introduced yak wool to their home and décor collection, presenting a cape-cum-neck cushion made out of that fiber. Two years earlier, the British heritage brand, Dunhill introduced their "Trans-Siberian Express'' winter-themed collection that included merino-yak blended items.[11] Outdoor clothing companies such as Peak to Plateau have recently started using yak wool due to its warmth and breathability. Also British company, Kora, launched in 2013 has developed 100 per cent yak wool products for their outdoor line using ethically sourced wool. They also claimed to have made the world's first mid-layer jacket from yak wool.
Architecture[edit]
Although uncommon, yak wool has also been employed as sound proof material by the Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra in the refurbishment of Rem Koolhaas' Kunsthal in Rotterdam, a building that gets 300,000 visitors a year. She made a thick, dense yak hair felt with a graphic design of white lines.[12]

BMW Vision M NEXT is BMW M brand's electrified future
Scientists develop battery that can recharge electric cars in seconds
A new type of energy storage system could revolutionize energy storage and drop the charging time of electric cars from hours to seconds.
In a new paper published in the journal Nature Chemistry, chemists from the University of Glasgow discuss how they developed a flow battery system using a nano-molecule that can store electric power or hydrogen gas giving a new type of hybrid energy storage system that can be used as a flow battery or for hydrogen storage.
Their 'hybrid-electric-hydrogen' flow battery, based upon the design of a nanoscale battery molecule can store energy, releasing the power on demand as electric power or hydrogen gas that can be used a fuel. When a concentrated liquid containing the nano-molecules is made, the amount of energy it can store increases by almost 10 times. The energy can be released as either electricity or hydrogen gas meaning that the system could be used flexibly in situations that might need either a fuel or electric power.
One potential benefit of this system is that electric cars could be charged in seconds, as the material is a pumpable liquid. This could mean that the battery of an electric car could be "recharged" in roughly the same length of time as petrol cars can be filled up. The old battery liquid would be removed at the same time and recharged ready to be used again.
The approach was designed and developed by Professor Leroy (Lee) Cronin, the University of Glasgow's Regius Chair of Chemistry, and Dr Mark Symes, Senior Lecturer in Electrochemistry, also at the University of Glasgow with Dr Jia Jia Chen, who is a researcher in the team. They are convinced that this result will help pave the way for the development of new energy storage systems that could be used in electric cars, for the storage of renewable energy, and to develop electric-to-gas energy systems for when a fuel is required.
Professor Cronin said: "For future renewables to be effective high capacity and flexible energy storage systems are needed to smooth out the peaks and troughs in supply. Our approach will provide a new route to do this electrochemically and could even have application in electric cars where batteries can still take hours to recharge and have limited capacity. Moreover, the very high energy density of our material could increase the range of electric cars, and also increase the resilience of energy storage systems to keep the lights on at times of peak demand."
This research is funded by the University of Glasgow complex chemistry initiative as well as the European Research Council (ERC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

WASHINGTON - U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said on Wednesday during his daily press briefing that human rights groups such as Breaking the Silence and B'Tselem are an important part of "any functioning civil society."
Deputy Foreign Minister: Breaking the Silence 'An Enemy' of Israel

Toner made the comment in reply to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision earlier this week to cancel his meeting with German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel because the latter met with representatives of the two organizations.
Netanyahu issued an ultimatum to Gabriel, saying that he will not meet with the German foreign minister if he does not cancel his meetings with the left-wing groups. After Gabriel refused, Netanyahu made good on his promise. His office issued a statement saying that "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policy is not to meet with diplomats who visit Israel and meet with organizations that slander IDF soldiers and seek to prosecute them as war criminals."
>> B'Tselem head responds: We don't take orders from Netanyahu. Nor does the world >>
"I don't think it's necessarily for us to speak to who the prime minister of Israel decides to meet with," Toner said. "He's free to meet with whomever he wishes. More broadly about this group, I think we would regard it as important that any functioning civil society has these types of groups and the diverse viewpoints. That's a vital part of any functioning democracy. But I'm not going to speak to his decision."
Toner also said during the briefing that Michael Ratney, the senior diplomat in charge of the Israel-Palestine file at the State Department, has recently met with Palestinian officials as part of preparations for President Donald Trump's meeting with Palestinian President Abbas next week in Washington. Toner said the meetings took place in the White House and Ratney represented the State Department.
In reply to a question about Israeli settlement building, Toner stated, as he has done before, that "President Trump was very clear. He's both publicly and privately expressed his concerns regarding settlements. He said while the existence of settlements is not in itself an impediment of peace, it's that further unrestrained settlement activity doesn't help advance peace."
He added that "we've had good preliminary talks with both the Israelis and, obviously, the Palestinians as well, more recently, about steps that can be taken, concrete steps to create a climate for a peace process or peace negotiations to begin again. I'm not going to get ahead of those, but they're aware of our concerns that increased settlement activity could be an impediment."

By Roy Reid, '88
There's typically a look of disbelief on students' faces when I describe what life was like at UCF during my freshman year in 1983.
Alafaya Trail and University Boulevard were two-lane country roads, and the campus seemed to end just past the library, theater and bookstore. Student life was centered around a loose conglomeration of one-story buildings that is currently known as Ferrell Commons, but we knew it as the Student Center. It housed various organizations as well as most of the on-campus dining options. With a student body of nearly 20,000, it was clear that UCF needed a more comprehensive student union.
The mid-1980s was a special time to get involved in student organizations because any effort was bound to contribute to the legacy of the school. Mine began when my fraternity brother Nelson Kirkland, '85, sat me down for an interview to join the Orientation Team, or O-Team as it is still called today. Led by Jimmie Ferrell, for whom Ferrell Commons is named, the O-Team was a crash course in learning how UCF worked. And perhaps the most significant door that it opened for me was the opportunity to serve the university as student body president.
In the summer of 1986, I made the decision to run and was advised by then-SGA president Ira Smith, '86, to meet with Denver Stutler, '87, another student who had expressed an interest in the student union cause. Over breakfast, Denver and I discussed how we could secure funding for a union building; it would take a two-year commitment. We agreed that I had a stronger chance of winning the Spring 1987 election and that he would serve as chief of staff. J.J. Mandato, '88, stepped up as the vice presidential candidate, and we found ourselves in the enviable position of running unopposed. While I would like to think it was something special about us that drew people in, I know that our focus on this key issue is what captured students' imaginations.
Immediately, we began working to secure the administration's support for making the student union a priority. President Trevor Colbourn gave us his approval, and from there we lobbied the Florida Board of Regents (predecessor of the Board of Governors) and others in Tallahassee. Our case for the creation of the UCF Student Union earned a substantial financial commitment, ensuring that the facility would become a reality.
Construction began in 1991, a few years after our graduation. And looking back, I can only credit our early success to the hard work of many individuals, inspired by leaders that taught the importance of vision, servant leadership and relationships.
In 2013, I returned to UCF to work as the executive director of communications for the College of Business Administration. Almost daily I go to the Student Union, and when I talk to students and see how much of their campus life takes place inside that building, I am grateful for the encouragement that I received to get involved and contribute to the legacy of our university.

"We live as far apart as Kent and Lancashire, but now our families are grown up we meet up every year and this year we chose Nottingham, because of May Fest.
We wandered around campus taking in Portland Building (PB), Trent Building, a few Halls of Residence and the lake. Quite a lot has changed. The ballroom had been changed into a café and the lido had long since gone to be replaced by the new Arts Centre. The old red brick student shop building and the bank have gone, being replaced by lovely new facilities behind PB. The trees had grown lots (…or have we just shrunk?).
We couldn't find the canoe club mending shed which used to be located at the side of PB. We remember mending holes after competitions in the shed, with a rock band practicing in an adjacent den. I've always wondered whether that rock band became famous.
Formal dinner FB 1977: Sue, Jane, Lis, Alison, Vanessa, Janet and Liz.
We were privileged to be shown round Florence Boot (FB) and on arrival; we were all 19 again for a while. Memories came flooding back and we were even invited into the sanctuary of the SCR. We only rarely stepped foot in there for sherry receptions before a formal dinner! Pictures had thoughtfully been laid out for us. There was even a year photograph, which we studied. Not one of us was in it and we racked our brains to remember why. There were lots of old friends there but where were we? It came after a lot of mental chugging that we had most likely been on a trip to Skegness and would at that moment have been paddling on the boating lake. Little did we know we'd one day be sorry we'd missed the photo opportunity. Many thanks to all who enabled this treat.
After our look inside FB we were treated to afternoon tea. We stopped overnight at the new hotel on campus, which was lovely and has special alumni rates. We thoroughly recommend it.

Le parc de Broussais est un jardin paysager ouvert au public de la ville de Nantes d'une superficie de . Il est situé dans le quartier Doulon - Bottière.

Localisation
Le parc se trouve au nord du boulevard Louis-Millet et à l'est de la rue Parmentier, mais son entrée principale se situe sur le côté nord-est de la place Gabriel-Trarieux.

Historique
En 1852, les Frères de l'instruction chrétienne de Ploërmel installent un pensionnat sur la commune de Doulon au lieu-dit de la « Papotière » proche du bourg. Devenue vite trop exigu, ces derniers déménagent le  dans de nouveaux locaux situés au villages des Roches au nord-est de l'actuelle place Gabriel-Trarieux. L'amélioration des moyens de transports (train et tramway), ainsi que la renommée de l'établissement, gonfleront encore les effectifs du pensionnat, jusqu'à sa fermeture et le départ des Frères de Ploërmel à la suite de la loi de séparation des Églises et de l'État en 1905.

En 1911, l'ancien pensionnat est racheté par la ville au profit de l'État, afin que ce dernier y installe un hôpital militaire qu'il baptise « Hôpital Broussais », en l'honneur de François Broussais, considéré comme un réformateur de la médecine par l'introduction de la méthode physiologique. Inauguré le , quelques semaines avant le déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale, le site est occupé par l'armée allemande durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ce qui lui vaut d'être bombardé par l'aviation allié. Il ouvre de nouveau après le conflit, puis subit deux restructurations successives en 1971 et 1977 qui portent sa capacité à 230 lits (320 en cas de mobilisation), jusqu'à sa fermeture le .

Une partie de ses bâtiments sont rasés pour laisser la place à des logements. Le parc de l'ancien pensionnat est alors ouvert au public, tandis ses anciens bâtiments n'ayant pas été démolis abrite désormais le CREPS Pays de la Loire. Cependant, celui-ci devrait quitter ces locaux juger inadaptés pour de nouveaux bâtiments qui seraient construits sur un terrain de  à La Chapelle-sur-Erdre près de la gare de Babinière (début des travaux au printemps 2019 et livraison prévue en ).

Description
Le parc de Broussais comporte quelques très beaux spécimens d'arbres, notamment des sequoiadendrons,  des arbousiers et des féviers d'Amérique.

There are two parts of Shabbat, night and day; therefore, one has to sanctify with Kiddush each part separately.
Rashi: "Every man shall fear his mother and father"
Every one of you shall fear his father and his mother. This is its simple meaning. Its Midrashic explanation, however, [is as follows]. Since the verse literally means, "Every man shall fear…," we know only [that this law applies to] a man; how do we know [that it applies to] a woman [as well]? When Scripture says, "shall fear" [using the plural form], two are included [in the verse, namely, men and women]. But if this is so, why does the verse say, "Every man…?" Because a man has the ability to fulfill this [commandment without restriction, since he is independent and thus obliged to fear his parents], whereas a woman is [sometimes] under the authority of others [namely her husband].
"[Every man] shall fear his mother and his father"
Here, Scripture mentions the mother before the father, because He is privy to the fact that a child fears his father more than his mother [and therefore, by mentioning the mother first, Scripture emphasizes the duty of fearing her also. However] in the case of honoring [one's parents], Scripture mentions the father before the mother, because He is privy to the fact that a child honors his mother more than his father, since she wins his favor by [speaking kind and loving] words. [Therefore, by mentioning the father first in the context of honor, Scripture emphasizes the duty of honoring him also].
"and you shall observe My Sabbaths"
Both you and your father are obligated to honor Me!
Both you and your father are obligated to honor Me! Therefore, do not listen to him to negate My commands. Now, what constitutes "fear?" One must not sit in his place, speak in his stead [when it is his father's turn to speak] or contradict him. And what constitutes "honor?" One must give [the father and mother] food and drink, clothe them and put on their shoes, and accompany them when they enter or leave.
Baal HaTurim: "Every man shall fear his mother and his father" is juxtaposed to the command, "And my Shabbats you shall keep" for if one's father tells him to do something that would break Shabbat, he should not listen.
Next to this [in the start of the next verse] is the command, "Do not pay attention to" meaning that if there is a deity that is your god because you made it on your own, do not turn to it.
Ohr HaChayim: The word "Shabbat's" is plural, which hints that the non-observance of many work prohibitions over a period of several Shabbats may require only a single sin offering to atone for it. That is when one is unaware of Shabbat laws at all.
The Zohar explains the plural to mean the 2 parts of Shabbat, night and day. One has to sanctify with Kiddush each part separately. The evening is the nature of the light to which a bride relates, while the morning is viewed as a more powerful light of the bridegroom.
Likutei Imrei Chayim: Shabbat is the key source of blessing, always nourishing you, like a parent constantly supporting you throughout your life. Shabbat functions in our lives as the ideal caring parent.
Ach Pri Litvu'a: After birth, you still need love and caring. So after you have acted like a parent to birth your mitzvot, they are not really finished until the next Shabbat passes. The Shabbat is the nurturer, taking the sparks raised by your mitzvot performed and taking them to the next level, to their original source. On Shabbat the mitzvot you did during the week learn to fly.
"You shall revere every man his mother, and his father, and keep My Shabbatot." These precepts are equal to each other, since respect for parents is equivalent to the honor for Shabbat. With regard to his father, it first talks of honor, as the verse said, "if then I am the father, where is My honor (kevodi)? And if I am a master, where is My fear?" (Malachi 1:6) The word Kevodi numerically equals 42 and consists of the ten sayings and 32 times Elo-him in the acts of Creation.
If your parent tells you to break a Shabbat law, you are to not "honor" them by obeying. However, the Zohar surprisingly finds equivalence, namely that the respect, the awe, for one's parents is equal to the honor for Shabbat. All 42's provide us with a special hint to the elevation of the worlds.
if one does not honor or respect his parents...how can he respect the...Eternal One?
The command to honor the parents is #5. It would seem to be a mitzvah between one and one's fellow, namely one's parent. But it appears on the right "side" of the Tablets, with those precepts between man and G‑d. It is therefore has "a foot in each world" —both between man and man, and man and G‑d. That is because if one does not honor or respect his parents — his physical creators, how can he respect the 3rd member of the team, the Eternal One?
Perhaps the above Zohar is the clue to the move from the left to the right side of the Tablets, namely that by honoring one's parents, this serves the same role as the 42-letter Name in elevating the actions to a more sublime level, to those precepts between man and G‑d. And the honor here is equivalent to the 10 sayings and 32 mentions of Elo-him in the acts of Creation!
Certainly a lot of movement — for example calling your parents every Friday to wish them well!
And what if they are not physically still on our earth plane? Giving over both Torah and tzedakah in their names can do a lot for both the elevation of their precious souls and your place in the spiritual hierarchy.

This gorgeous colored red rose tea is beautiful to serve, but also nourishing with an amazing blend of warming spices such as ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves. This red rose tea has a subtle hint of sweetness and citrus flavor.
Are you a coffee- or a tea person? Personally, I'm a huge fan of tea. If you are a tea lover and a bit bored with your tea collection, I invite you to try this red rose tea. It's not only gorgeous in color, it's delicious too.
This red rose tea is a showstopper. Can you even say that about a tea? What I'm trying to say is that this is not your average cup of tea. The first thing noticeable is the amazing color of this red rose tea. This dark red-hued tea has an amazing taste and is pretty easy to make from scratch even though I'm using quite a few ingredients.
I like to make a big pot of this tea to sip on all day, but I also love to serve this tea with a dessert when I have guests coming over. I guarantee you, the next topic at the dinner table will be all about tea.
The ingredient that is responsible for this beautiful dark red color are not the rose buds, but the red beet. Just to let you know, this tea taste nothing like beets. So even if you don't like red beet (juice), you can enjoy this red rose tea.
If you are going to try this gorgeous red rose tea, let me know what you think! Leave a comment or rate the recipe. And don't forget to take a picture and tag #thegreencreator on Instagram! I'd love to see your creation!
Wash and peel the beet and cut in small chunks. Place in a tea pot or any other pot that allows easy pouring. If you have a beet with leaves, remove the leaves from the beet, rinse and cut in smaller chunks. Cover with about 2.5 cups of cold water. Add lemongrass, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, rosebuds and ginger and simmer gently for 20 minutes until the tea turns into a splendid deep red color. Allow to cool slightly to about 80 °C/ 180 °F. Strain out the beet (leaves) and add the remaining ingredients. Stir and serve.
If you feel fancy you could add even more ingredients, such as mint or even rosemary.
If you only want the basic red rose tea, you can leave out the cardamom, cloves, nutmeg and lemon grass. Without those warming spices this tea would also make a great ice tea.

As Bristol football ground opens up for mass coronavirus vaccinations news that Bath & West showground in Shepton Mallet will be next
Posted: 11.01.21 at 15:56 by Local Democracy Reporter Stephen Sumner
Mass vaccinations get underway from today at Bristol's Ashton Gate – and a major site in Somerset is set to follow in two weeks' time.
Bath and West Showground boss Rupert Cox said hosting the facility will provide vital extra income and help to ensure outdoor events can resume later this year at the Shepton Mallet venue.
Ashton Gate was one of seven mass vaccination centres across the country to open today (Monday).
The government wants 15million people vaccinated by mid-February.
Mr Cox, the chief executive of the Royal Bath and West Society, told BBC Radio Bristol: "We got approached by NHS England back in December to ask if we would make our site available for a regional vaccination centre and we jumped at it, not least because it gives us a bit of business – we've virtually been closed since last March, with the exception of a couple of small events.
"Significantly for us, the more people that get vaccinated and the healthier our society becomes, the greater chance of some of our wonderful events taking place this summer.
"We're looking forward to opening up in a couple of weeks' time. The NHS are there on site now prepping our big showering pavilion and they're also taking our theatre and lounge to help with training of those that are doing the vaccinations.
"It's all systems go, except we're not yet at jabbing people.
"Everyone should have been ready to go last week. There's already been a bit of slippage in the programme. We are, we assume, in the second tranche of regional vaccination centres.
"We think we're going on January 24/25, which is in a couple of weeks' time."
Mr Cox said the showground had been offered to help with food distribution, testing or to host a pop-up morgue, so he was pleased it was chosen as a vaccination hub.
He added: "It's good for us to be involved in our community, as we have been since 1965 on that site.
"It's also good for us financially – we've had virtually no income and we've lost 40 per cent of the jobs on the showground.
"The nub of it all is that we want the big outdoor events in the West of England to be taking place this summer or certainly into the autumn. The only way of getting that done is to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
"When we had to cancel our show [the Royal Bath and West Show] that's only the second time since 1852 that that show has been cancelled, with the exception of the war years.
"We have plans to run a show this year on our normal dates in early June but we do have a reserve date. We're having to keep all options open."
A statement on the showground's website says: "There will be a process of booking for vaccinations once the centre at the Bath & West site is live and not an automatic walk in day scheme. The general public are advised to wait for more details to be released in due course."

Night Lights, Tyne Bridge, Newcastle Upon Tyne
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that this image didn't make the finals of the Landscape Photographer of the Year 2020 awards, but really proud that it was shortlisted especially as it wasn't taken as planned!
The Tyne Bridge, the most iconic of the 7 bridges crossing the River Tyne. Officially opened in October 1928 and built by Dorman Long and Co of Middlesbrough who also built the Sydney Harbour Bridge a few years later.
I took the photo back in December 2018, it had been snowing and I wanted to get a shot of the bridge in the snow. I know snow can melt fast, but I only live in Gateshead so wasn't expecting it to have melted that fast!
For me, this picture is all about lighting, I was trying to capture the atmosphere. There was no one on the bridge and it felt very eery. I love how it leads right through to the far end of the bridge and includes the church and clock.
I always try to pick out the best a scene or visual has to offer which is exactly what I tried to capture in this photograph.

Pictures develop uplifting message
By David Coulter
PHOTOGRAPHS on the walls of a hospital ward are providing uplifting moments for patients battling cancer.
The oncology day unit at Hexham General Hospital commissioned photographer Philip Benton to produce five canvases to provide some relief to patients and their families.
Mr Benton was told 30 years ago he would never work again when diagnosed with ME but, despite this, he battled through the illness and started his own photography business six years ago.
Oncology unit manager Fiona Holdsworth said: "They really suit the mood of the unit, and the message we are trying to get across is breaking down the barriers that hospitals are depressing."
This is the proudest moment so far I've had in my business.
I was approached two years ago by Hexham Hospital Oncology Unit about putting some of my work on their walls. As you can see they now have five of my pieces in there!
The feedback I got from customers and social media followers was a huge added bonus.
'So glad our paths crossed, such a talent'
'Your pictures are refreshing and realistic. Keep up the good work'.
'I love your work Phil, I'm proud and pleased as punch that I know you'.

Dr Jonathan Paul is a member of a team of multidisciplinary researchers at the University of Newcastle's Mothers and Babies Research Centre, who work to determine the cause, and most effective therapeutic approach, to maternal, foetal and neonatal health problems in humans.
The post-doctoral scientist is applying his expertise to a new mode of medication delivery to the uterus, which has the potential to radically decrease risks related to childbirth.
Jonathan is part of a team with a revolutionary drug delivery vector that has the capacity to increase the effectiveness of targeted therapeutics, potentially resulting in: halting pre-term labour, inducing or accelerating non-productive labour, or stemming postpartum bleeding.
The unique system has garnered Jonathan much attention due to the potential to save countless lives before, during and after childbirth. In early 2015, Jonathan was awarded the Presidential New Investigators Award by the Society for Reproductive Investigation at their 62nd Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
Jonathan completed his PhD as a member of the Reproductive Science Group at the University of Newcastle, focusing on proteins expressed on the surface of ova and their relevance to sperm ova interaction.
Jonathan then joined the Mothers and Babies team to undertake analysis of the protein changes that occur during the transition of uterine cells from quiescence to contractility. His skill in the lab has secured his involvement in many projects within the Centre.
Jonathan's primary research focus is the development of a targeted drug delivery system for the uterus, which is a successful project collaboration between the Mothers and Babies Research Centre Director, Professor Roger Smith, and Dr Susan Hua, head of the Therapeutic Targeting Research Group in the Discipline of Pharmacy. The collaboration draws upon the valuable skills of Susan in manufacturing the specialised targeted liposomes, and couples her expertise with Jonathan and Roger's research interests in reproductive medicine. Jonathan then uses his expertise in the lab to apply the drug delivery system to both human and animal models.
The uterus is one of the organs in the body that is made of smooth muscle. Currently, medications administered to stimulate or relax the uterus have been designed for use in other areas of the body. As such, they can have off-target affects, limiting both the range of drugs that can be administered safely, and the effectiveness of those chosen drugs.
Jonathan's new system targets a particular protein, ensuring the medication is directed specifically to the uterus.
"Our cells are surrounded by a membrane. We take a small section of artificial membrane, make a tiny sphere, encapsulate the drug inside that sphere, then we target that sphere to the uterus."
"What we have done is to look for a particular protein that is expressed in high abundance only on uterine cells. We've then targeted the liposomes to that protein."
This targeted delivery system has the following benefits: it increases the effectiveness of existing medication; and offers the possibility of utilising drugs previously considered unsafe due to affects on other organs and tissues.
Complications related to childbirth create considerable short and long term strains on mother and baby, as well as the health care system. There are several stages of pregnancy and labour that present a danger, especially in less developed countries.
Pre-term birth is the major cause of neo-natal morbidity and mortality, and is responsible for more than half the cases of cerebral palsy. Pre-term infants who survive can be left with on-going complications such as asthma, eye or hearing problems, and increased long-term risk of developing several conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
If a pregnancy approaches 42 weeks a caesarian section will be performed to counter the increased risk of intra-uterine death. This resource intensive procedure may discourage the mother from giving birth naturally in future deliveries. In less developed countries, a c-section may not be an option.
If the uterus fails to contract following delivery, post-partum hemorrhage may result. In less developed countries, where there is limited or no access to medicines such as oxytocin (which promotes contractions and the restriction of blood vessels), excessive blood loss can result in death.
Using the targeted drug delivery system, liposomes could be filled with medication aimed at maximising uterine contraction, thus restricting the body's ability to lose blood. When a pregnancy has continued past 42 weeks, the liposomes could be loaded with medication aimed at stimulating or increasing contractility. If pre-term labour has begun, the liposomes would be loaded with medication to halt contractions.
Jonathan has achieved great success trialing the delivery system on uterine tissue harvested during myometrium biopsies. Further research using a mouse model is underway.
A major cause of pre-term labour in women is inflammation arising from bacterial infection. Accordingly, infection is being simulated to test how effectively the targeted delivery system can work to halt contractions when pre-term labour occurs due to bacterial infection.
Progesterone withdrawal is another leading cause of pre-term labour, as it is essential to the maintenance of a pregnancy. Further research will be undertaken through a mouse model, to measure the efficacy of the targeted delivery system in the event of withdrawal of progesterone.
"The therapeutics we are looking at using target the raw mechanism of the contraction," says Jonathan.
"Regardless of what signaling events are occurring upstream, if we can disable that pathway and eliminate the ability of the cell to undergo the fundamentals of contractility, we should be able to block pre-term labour."
Assuming the success of the mouse model trials, the next step would be to test the efficacy of the system using a primate model. Jonathan hopes to eventually work in collaboration with the University of Washington's Infant Primate Research Laboratory within their Centre on Human Development and Disability.
It is already clear that the drug delivery vector could be adapted to target cells in other areas of the body.
"You could target any number of tissues provided it has a specific marker. In this case, Roger, Susan and I have used it to target the uterus, but it certainly has a much bigger scope than that," Jonathan explains.
"If you have a cancer, for instance, that expresses a particular protein in high abundance relative to any other tissues or organs, then you could target liposomes to those cancer cells."
Another area of research that is currently moving forward using the targeted delivery system is a project to fight ovarian cancer.
"I'm working with another post-doc, Dr Jorge Tolosa, with input from Roger Smith on this project. Susan Hua, who manufactures the liposomes, also has her own applications for targeted liposomes that are specific for her field of interest," explains Jonathan.
Completed trials suggest that the drug delivery vector is an acutely superior system when it comes to concentrating medication in the goal area.
Whether the targeted liposomes are stopping pre-term labour or attacking uterine cancer cells, this new system has the potential to save countless lives, and revolutionise the way therapeutics are delivered.
PhD Opportunity: The Mothers and Babies Research Centre is seeking candidates interested in undertaking a PhD on the novel application of 3D tissue culture to reproductive medicine. The project will build upon work by a current student nearing completion, and seeks to apply 3D culture and tissue engineering techniques to improve in vitro studies into human uterine smooth muscle.
Please see the 'Opportunities' tab for further details on PhD opportunities.
Dr. Paul completed his PhD within the Reproductive Sciences Group under the leadership of Professor Eileen McLaughlin and Laureate Professor John Aitken. Dr. Paul then joined the Mothers and Babies Research Centre where he has dedicated his research to elucidating the mechanisms behind human parturition and the onset of labour.
Dr. Paul has a background in proteomics, and more recently has specialised in phospho-proteomics and how these techniques can be applied to elucidating changes associated with the onset of labour.
"My research focuses on understanding the physiological changes that occur late in human pregnancy. I am particularly interested in elucidating the changes in uterine smooth muscle cells that are responsible for transforming a quiescent, non-contractile uterus, capable of expanding to accommodate a growing fetus, into an actively contracting muscular organ that is engaged in powerful synchronised contractions in order to deliver the foetus."
Recently, Dr. Paul's research has focused on the development of a targeted drug delivery system for the uterus. Dr. Paul is part of a research team that has developed 'targeted liposomes', a type of organic nanoparticle capable of carrying a drug payload, as a means targeting therapeutic interventions specifically to the uterus.
Dr. Paul's research into the awakening of uterine smooth muscle cells and targeted drug delivery to the uterus is ongoing, and has served as the platform for patents, on which he is a named inventor.
© 2017 The Japan Society of Smooth Muscle Research. Background: Ex situ a nalyses of human myometrial t issue h as b een u sed t o i nvestigate t he r egulation of uterine quiescence and transition to a contractile phenotype. Following concerns about the validity of cultured primary cells, we examined whether myometrial tissue undergoes culture-induced changes ex situ that may affect the validity of in vitro models. Objectives: To determine whether human myometrial tissue undergoes culture-induced changes ex situ in Estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2) and Oxytocin receptor (OXTR) expression. Additionally, to determine whether culture conditions approaching the in vivo environment influence the expression of these key genes. Methods: Term non-laboring human myometrial tissues were cultured in the presence of specific treatments, including; serum supplementation, progesterone and estrogen, cAMP, PMA, stretch or NF-¿B inhibitors. ESR1, PTGS2 and OXTR mRNA abundance after 48 h culture was determined using quantitative RT-PCR. Results: Myometrial tissue in culture exhibited culture-induced up-regulation of ESR1 and PTGS2 and down-regulation of OXTR mRNA expression. Progesterone prevented culture-induced increase in ESR1 expression. Estrogen further up-regulated PTGS2 expression. Stretch had no direct effect, but blocked the effects of progesterone and estrogen on ESR1 and PTGS2 expression. cAMP had no effect whereas PMA further up-regulated PTGS2 expression and prevented decline of OXTR expression. Conclusion: Human myometrial tissue in culture undergoes culture-induced gene expression changes consistent with transition toward a laboring phenotype. Changes in ESR1, PTGS2 and OXTR expression could not be controlled simultaneously. Until optimal culture conditions are determined, results of in vitro experiments with myometrial tissues should be interpreted with caution.

The use of traditional culturing methods limits the exploration of complex uterine functions, such as cell interactions, connectivity and contractile behaviour, as it fails to mimic the three-dimensional (3D) nature of uterine cell interactions in vivo. Animal models are an option, however, use of these models is constrained by ethical considerations as well as translational limitations to humans. Evidence indicates that these limitations can be overcome by using 3D culture systems, or 3D Bioprinters, to model the in vivo cytological architecture of the tissue in an in vitro environment. 3D cultured or 3D printed cells can be used to form an artificial tissue. This artificial tissue can not only be used as an appropriate model in which to study cellular function and organisation, but could also be used for regenerative medicine purposes including organ or tissue transplantation, organ donation and obstetric care. The current review describes recent developments in cell culture that can facilitate the development of myometrial 3D structures and tissue engineering applications.
© 2015 by the authors. We present a hypothesis for a mechanism involving self-organization of small functional units that leads to organ-level synchronization of uterine contractions in human labor. This view is in contrast to the long-held presumption that the synchronized behavior of the uterus is subject to well-defined internal organization (as is found in the heart) that exists prior to the onset of labor. The contractile units of the uterus are myocytes, which contract in response to both mechanical stretch and electrical stimulation. Throughout pregnancy progesterone maintains quiescence by suppression of "contraction-associated proteins" (CAPs). At the end of pregnancy a functional withdrawal of progesterone and an increasingly estrogenic environment leads to an increase in the production of CAPs. One CAP of particular importance is connexin 43, which creates gap junctions between the myocytes that cause them to become electrically coupled. The electrical connectivity between myocytes, combined with an increase in intrauterine pressure at the end of pregnancy shifts the uterus towards an increasingly unstable critical point, characterized by irregular, uncoordinated contractions. We propose that synchronous, coordinated contractions emerge from this critical point through a process of self-organization, and that the search for a uterine pacemaker has been unfruitful for the sole reason that it is non-existent.
Human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) potassium channels determine cardiac action potential and contraction duration. Human uterine contractions are underpinned by an action potential that also possesses an initial spike followed by prolonged depolarization. Here we show that hERG channel proteins (a-conducting and ßinhibitory subunits) and hERG currents exist in isolated patch-clamped human myometrial cells. We show that hERG channel activity suppresses contraction amplitude and duration before labour, thereby facilitating quiescence. During established labour, expression of ß-inhibitory protein is markedly enhanced, resulting in reduced hERG activity that is associated with an increased duration of uterine action potentials and contractions. Thus, changes in hERG channel activity contribute to electrophysiological mechanisms that produce contractions during labour. We also demonstrate that this system fails in women with elevated BMI, who have enhanced hERG activity as a result of low ß-inhibitory protein expression, which likely contributes to the weak contractions and poor labour outcomes observed in many obese women necessitating caesarean delivery. © 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Exclusive: Producer Neal Moritz on FAST FIVE, More Sequels, and the Fight Scene Between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub January 12, 2011
A few days ago I sat down with producer Neal Moritz to talk about his latest movie The Green Hornet (which is a lot of fun). Since we covered so many of his projects during the interview, I decided to break up the conversation by movie. The other day I posted all the Total Recall news (Colin Farrell is starring, films in Toronto, not in 3D), and then yesterday I posted updates on Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer, Ryan Reynolds R.I.P.D., and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum's 21 Jump Street.
For tonight's installment, I've got updates on Fast Five and what's the status of additional sequels. And for fans of Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, Moritz revealed what went into making their fight in Fast Five (you knew they would fight each other) special. Hit the jump for more:
For fan of The Fast and Furious franchise, Moritz says Fast Five is loaded with awesome action. He described a sequence which was teased in the trailer:
"You know the vault that gets pulled out of the—well that's a police station that it gets pulled out of cause the bad guys have all this stuff in there and our guys pull it out of there. That sequence of 14 minutes probably, of them pulling this vault through the city of Rio De Janeiro being chased by 50 police cars throughout the city is one of the most incredible sequences I've ever seen on film. The action in that is like nothing you've ever seen, it's all real."
Of course great action is to be expected. What I really wanted to know was how is the fight between Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel. Moritz told me:
"They beat the shit out of each other, we shot for probably four days of them literally beating the shit out of each other. The audience is gonna be like 'wow'.
Not content with that answer, I pressed for more. Specifically, how did they prepare to film the scene:
"It was something that we had to conceive, obviously, then we had to work out how we're actually gonna do the fight, then we had to bring the stunt guys in to rehearse it, then we had to bring Vin and Dwayne in to rehearse it and then we shot it and it goes up, down, through walls, through windows, it's one hell of a fight. And it's probably like a 5-minute fight."
With the success of the franchise, I wanted to know if they'd already started thinking about a sixth installment. Moritz said:
"In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we've already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we're starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished the movie like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we're gonna start focusing on that."
Finally, when I spoke to Dwayne Johnson earlier this year, he told me that the goal was to branch off his character into his own movie. I asked if Moritz had already started getting a script together:
"No we have not started, but we are about to."
So if you're a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, it sounds like Fast Five should be a lot of fun and it's probably not the last installment. Here's the full conversation with Moritz on Fast Five and beyond. Look for the final part of my interview with Moritz tomorrow night.
Collider: I know that Fast Five got moved up, the release date.
Moritz: Yeah, the movie's awesome
Compared to the previous films, what can fans look forward to?
Moritz: The best action you've ever seen in your life. There's a sequence—you saw the teaser?
Moritz: Okay you know the vault gets pulled out of the—well that's a police station that it gets pulled out of cause the bad guys have all this stuff in there and our guys pull it out of there. That sequence of 14 minutes probably, of them pulling this vault through the city of Rio De Janeiro being chased by 50 police cars throughout the city is one of the most incredible sequences I've ever seen on film. The action in that is like nothing you've ever seen, it's all real.
Dwayne told me he has a fight scene between him and Vin.
Moritz: They beat the shit out of each other, we shot for probably four days of them literally beating the shit out of each other. The audience is gonna be like "wow."
That's the kind of scene…as an action fan you have two huge people like that fighting each other, how much did you guys set that up for filming? Obviously that's something that fans are really looking forward to.
Moritz: It was something that we had to conceive, obviously, then we had to work out how we're actually gonna do the fight, then we had to bring the stunt guys in to rehearse it, then we had to bring Vin and Dwayne in to rehearse it and then we shot it and it goes up, down, through walls, through windows, it's one hell of a fight. And it's probably like a 5-minute fight.
When Universal told you that you were getting an earlier release date, did it make you nervous or did it make you that much more excited?
Moritz: No no, this was something that we all decided together because we wanted to have kind of our own weekend. The beginning of summer keeps getting moved up, so now it's like the first week of May, and we're saying well the first week of summer for us is the last week in April.
Fast Five, obviously it's gonna be a huge hit. I'm assuming Universal is already thinking, well let's talk about a [sequel]—
Moritz: In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we've already been talking about it.
Well Dwayne told me that one of the reasons he got excited to work with you, he was saying that his character could be spun off
Moritz: Easily.
So have you already started getting a draft together?
Moritz: No we have not started, but we are about to.
With Vin and the sixth movie, have you already started brainstorming?
Moritz: Yes, Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we're starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished the movie like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we're gonna start focusing on that.

The Game of Peace
A new mobile game delivers adventure while making history come alive.
Abolished! The Game of Peace is an educational twist on classic brick-breaking games. The free mobile game is inspired by the historic abolition of the Costa Rican armed forces and the iconic image forever attached to that event: Costa Rica's visionary leader Don Pepe Figueres using a sledge hammer to knock down the walls of the country's infamous military prison, Cuartel Bellavista. This year, Costa Rica celebrates the 70th anniversary of this important and decisive moment.
The mobile game, currently in Beta, is part of the educational outreach for the award-winning First Lady of the Revolution documentary. "Storytelling shouldn't be confined to one medium or platform," says the film's producer and director Andrea Kalin, "Since we are interested in engaging youth with a deep and meaningful experience, we decided to come up with a complement to the film that is interactive. A mobile game like Abolished! is a compelling way to teach history, create interdisciplinary connection and also have fun."
Abolished! The Game of Peace was developed by Stone Soup Productions and Spark Media. The talented team hails from both the United States and Costa Rica.
The game can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Screen time not key indicator for phone addiction in young adults
Krishna Chaitanya 2 March 2021
Mobile Screen time. Credit: Christian Wiediger/Unsplash
Sign up here for GlobalData's free bi-weekly Covid-19 report on the latest information your industry needs to know.
A new research study from King's College London reveals that the length of time young adults spend on their phones is not the key indicator to their phone addiction.
Smartphone addiction though not formally recognised as clinical diagnosis has been the subject of research for quite some time.
King's College London conducted a study using the smartphone addiction scale as the validated tool for research. The study found that approximately 39% of young adults in the age group of 18 to 30 years suffered from phone addiction experiencing symptoms such as loss of control over their screen time, feeling distressed on not being able to access their phones leading to neglect over other areas of life.
King's College London's Institute of Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience (IoPPN), lead author Samantha Sohn, said: "Smartphones are increasingly becoming indispensable parts of our daily lives, and this study is an important step in looking at their impact in terms of dysfunctional use and on sleep in a UK population."
The study also reported that nearly 69% of respondents that show signs of phone addiction suffer from poor sleep irrespective of the amount of time they spent over their phone. However, the report also found that nearly 57% of those who do suffer from phone addiction are also affected by poor sleep.
Recently, many leading smartphone manufacturers have introduced in-built features and tools in the device that help the users control their screen time on a daily basis and are also designed to minimise the impact on sleep.
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, visiting clinical lecturer at IoPPN and addiction psychiatrist Dr Nicola Kalk, while arguing on the fact that screen time is not the key indicator of detrimental phone use, said: "This study makes clear that it is features of behavioural addiction rather than exposure time that is predictive of smartphone-associated harm."

Big 12 Basketball's Top Transfers for 2021-22 Season
By Matthew Postins
The transfer portal changed everything in college basketball. Not just the transfer portal, but the new rule that essentially allowed players to transfer once without having to sit out. That, plus the extra year of COVID-19 eligibility, changed the face of the Big 12 for the 2021-22 season.
Ordinarily, HeartlandCollegeSports.com highlights the best transfer for each team. Well, it's a new world. This year, we highlight the Top 10 overall transfers entering the Big 12 Conference in 2021-22 (in alphabetical order).
G James Akinjo, Baylor (from Arizona)
Baylor lost four guards from last year's national championship team, so bringing in Akinjo as a transfer was a perfect opportunity for the Bears to replenish that depth. Akinjo averaged more than 15 points per game for the Wildcats last season and looks to be an immediate starter alongside holdover guard Adam Flagler. Akinjo, a 40 percent 3-point shooter, has the potential to be a first team All-Big 12 performer. But, then again, so does just about everyone on this list.
F Timmy Allen, Texas (from Utah)
It took Texas head coach Chris Beard all of two weeks to lock down Allen, who was a star at Utah before deciding to transfer to Texas. Last season he led the Utes with 17.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game. He also had 3.9 assists. He earned First-Team All-Pac-12. He started 82 of his 85 games at Utah. He joined a Texas team that needs to rebuild its entire frontcourt after it bolted for the NBA. Allen is a huge start.
G Marcus Carr, Texas (from Minnesota)
One of the most coveted transfers on the market, Carr flirted with the NBA before returning for another season of college basketball. He was already in the transfer portal and was deciding between a handful of schools, and Texas won out. After averaging nearly 20 points per game for Minnesota last season, Carr looks like a lead-pipe lock to start alongside Andrew Jones and Courtney Ramey. He slides perfectly into the spot vacated by Matt Coleman III. Carr's impact should be immediate.
G Jalen Coleman-Lands, Kansas (from Iowa State)
Coleman-Lands is that rare player who is entering his seventh year in college basketball. Yes, — SEVENTH year. He was at Iowa State last year and was a 2021 All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection who was second on the team, and 10th in the Big 12, in scoring at 14.3 points per game. He led the Cyclones with 58 3-pointers made. He can come off the bench and he can start and he can make an impact either way.
G Malik Curry, West Virginia (from Old Dominion)
Curry comes to a West Virginia team that has two quality holdover guards in Sean McNeil and Taz Sherman. But, Curry's track record ensures he'll get a shot, either as a starter or a primary backup. He led Old Dominion in scoring at 15.7 points per game, along with steals (37) and assists (71). The All-Conference USA Second Team is a high-quality shooter and you don't want to put at the free-throw line.
F Tanner Groves, Oklahoma (from Eastern Washington)
The Sooners got a package deal with Tanner Groves, who brought his brother, Jacob with him. If you saw EWU play Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, you know WHY other teams wanted Tanner Groves when he hit the transfer portal. The Big Sky Conference Most Valuable Player last season, he averaged 17.2 points per game with 8.0 rebounds per game. Then, against Kansas, he went off for a season-high 35 points. With the mass exodus out of Norman, he should be an immediate starter.
G Remy Martin, Kansas (from Arizona State)
Martin decided to use his extra year of eligibility and transfer to Kansas. That makes him the fifth starter for The Jayhawks, alongside their four holdover starters from last year. Why? Well, Martin was a three-time All-Pac-12 performer at Arizona State, averaged more than 19 points per game last season and averaged more than 21 points per game in Pac-12 play. You try keeping this guy on the bench for more than a couple of minutes a game. Martin came to Lawrence to help The Jayhawks win a title (and not just a Big 12 title).
C Tre Mitchell, Texas (from UMass)
You're sensing a theme by this point. Texas owned the transfer portal as far as the Big 12 is concerned. Mitchell transferred to Texas in June after scoring 18.8 points and pulling down 7.2 rebounds per game for the Minutemen last season. That's a carbon-copy of his numbers from the previous season. So he's been a remarkably consistent big man. Look for him and Allen to be the starters for Texas when the season begins.
F Kevin Obanor, Texas Tech (from Oral Roberts)
Obanor transferred to Texas Tech in July, and the Red Raiders were thrilled. Obanor made a national impression during the Golden Eagles' run to the Sweet 16. That included 30 points against Ohio State, 28 points against Florida and three straight double-doubles to end the season. He averaged 18.7 points and 9.6 rebounds per game last year and he will be eager to prove himself at the high-major level after three quality seasons at ORU.
G Davion Warren, Texas Tech (from Hampton)
Warren could start or he could come off the bench at Texas Tech, depending upon how first-year head coach Mark Adams wants to line up his team. But, Warren comes to Lubbock with credentials after he averaged 21.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 steals per game during his senior season at Hampton. He's going to play. And he's going to play a lot. And the Red Raiders need that.

BYU vs. Utah State: Preview and Prediction
Three Thoughts on BYU's 34-20 Win over Utah State


A MUM was caught drink-driving on an 8am mission to "rescue" her 15-year-old daughter from a rowdy New Year party.
Care worker Helen Rinne, 45, was seeing in 2018 when she got a 4am panic call from friends of the 15-year old youngster - saying she had been caught up in a fight with other girls.
After trying and failing to get a taxi for the following four hours, Rinne got behind the wheel of her son's car and set off to collect her daughter.
Rinne was stopped when cops patrolling the outskirts of Manchester Airport spotted her driving the wrong way around the roundabout and then towards oncoming traffic.
Tests revealed she was more than twice the limit despite stopping drinking hours earlier. She was recorded as having 76 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mg.
Cops later found Rinne had not passed her driving test, was using a provisional licence and had no insurance.
At Manchester magistrates court Rinne admitted drink driving, having no licence and no insurance and was banned from the roads for 20 months. She was due to sit her full driving test this week.
Her lawyer Vic Wozny, said in mitigation: "This is the first time she found herself in a police station and the first time in court.
She doesn't have a driving licence and at all times she is driven by her son."

'That Is Atrocious': Spike In Parking Prices Angers Jersey Shore Visitors
Filed Under:Local TV, Meg Baker, New Jersey, Point Pleasant, Seaside Heights
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – Not everyone can afford to take a week's vacation, so many people take day trips to the Jersey Shore.
Some say even that is becoming unaffordable.
A day at the beach should be as carefree as it sounds, but some say it was anything but.
It started the week of July Fourth, when the prices to park on a slab of asphalt went through the roof.
"Several took advantage of people – $80, $100. It aggravated myself as mayor but also the members of council," said Seaside Heights Mayor Tony Vaz.
Vaz says the prices deter families from visiting. Free municipal spots get filled up quickly, especially on weekends, so people have to use the private lots.
On Friday most lots were charging a reasonable rate – $10 – but that price goes up to $20 or more on weekends. It's worse on holidays.
"The hard working, blue collar people come down with X amount of dollars. If they have to spend $50-60 on the parking area it takes away from the rest of the business area," said Seaside Heights Special Events Coordinator Michael Graichen.
"Yeah, people will definitely be turned away next year," said Eddie Ralling, who works in Seaside Heights.
Families CBS2's Meg Baker spoke to on the boardwalk said if they have to spend that kind of cash to park, it leaves much less for fun.
"You want to find something you can afford to do and not break the bank," said resident Christina Pasieka.
"That is atrocious," said DJ Tworkoski of Toms River. "Come down here for tradition, have a good time with family, you shouldn't have to face ridiculous fees and prices."
"I wouldn't have been able to have those memories if they were to charge that much when I was growing up," he added.
Baker spoke to one lot owner who said his highest rate this season was $50.
"Generally raise the price to keep cars out of the lot, because when it's very busy we can't process so many cars," said Jeff Bowden.
"Is there a way to regulate parking prices?" Baker asked Vaz.
"No, there is not a way. We looked into it," he replied.
The borough is looking into purchasing more parking areas in order to regulate fair pricing. Meanwhile, your best bet may be to come early, get a free spot and beat the heat and the rush.
A lot owner told Baker he charge $50 because others do in towns like Point Pleasant.
On Friday, the highest Baker saw in Point Pleasant was $20.


Mariken Kramer is a visual artist based in Oslo, whose work focuses on structural and social aspects of the human condition; investigating how we perceive, interact, categorize and tell our stories.
My work deals with social and personal issues related to being human among other humans and focuses on underlying mechanisms in interpersonal encounters and relations, as well as on the vulnerability of the individual within the social group. I am intrigued by the psychological, structural and social aspects that constitute us as individuals and how we, through different narratives and storytelling, perceive, (re)present and construct our identities in relation to the collective that we are part of (or excluded from).
My latest film "Art 35.5 Hours a Week" (2017), a collaboration with Eli Eines, depicts the National Gallery in Oslo from the perspective of the security guards who work there, reflecting on the rhythm of their working day and how the building and its works of art touch them as individuals. The film gives voice to a group of people who are seldom heard in these matters. My work has been shown at galleries, museums and filmfestivals in Norway and abroad.

2015 Jeep Cherokee Investigated For Engine Fire Captured On Film: Video
[% }); %]
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation of the 2015 Jeep Cherokee after one California driver claimed that her vehicle was consumed by a fire less than two days after she purchased it.
ALSO SEE: The Safest Vehicles Of 2015
A complaint posted to NHTSA's website explains that the owner noticed an "oily" smell while driving the vehicle. After parking the Cherokee at her home, white smoke began emerging from beneath the hood. Seconds later, the car was engulfed in "flames 20 feet high", and "burning oil or fuel ran down the street over 50 yards".
The vehicle was purchased new on January 2, 2015, and it reportedly had fewer than 100 miles on the odometer. The incident happened on January 4 and was captured on video.
Typically, it takes more than one complaint to trigger a formal safety probe. However, given the severity of the incident, the newness of the vehicle, and, to be honest, the fact that it was captured on film and broadcast on the evening news, NHTSA has chosen to take action now.
To date, 21 complaints about the 2015 Jeep Cherokee have been filed with NHTSA. Many have dealt with the model's transmission, but it appears that only one other owner has noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment. Unfortunately, the owner didn't have that vehicle examined by a dealer.
WATCH: 2016 Nissan Titan Video
NHTSA's preliminary evaluation is the first in a three-step recall process. During this phase, NHTSA investigators will work with Jeep to identify patterns of failure and possible causes of the fire. If the problem has the potential to recur in other Cherokee vehicles, the probe will move to an engineering analysis, during which NHTSA will attempt to recreate the problem itself. Depending on how those tests go, the agency could call for a formal recall of the 2015 Jeep Cherokee.
A recall would affect roughly 50,000 vehicle owners in the U.S. Stay tuned.
