These offences are extremely serious and due to recent amendments to the Criminal Code, punishments for such crimes have increased penalties upon conviction including mandatory minimum jail sentences. If a person has been charged with an offence involving guns, gangs and/or weapons they require experience defence counsel familiar with this area of law. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation and case review.
What is a weapon?
A weapon is not just an object that is known to be dangerous like a gun or a sword. The Criminal Code broadly defines a weapon as anything used in causing death or injury to any person, or for the purpose of threatening or intimidating any person. This means is that many object can be classified as a weapon depending on how they are used.
An ordinary object like a brick or a baseball bat can be a weapon depending on the circumstances. Although having these types of objects is not a crime, the way an individual carries, transports, holds these objects may be classified as a criminal offence.
Some items are prohibited outright. These include switchblades, tasers and brass knuckle.
What are some weapon offences?
Weapons offences may include: carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, possession of a prohibited or restricted weapon and assault with a weapon.
Gun offences may include: using firearm in commission of offense, careless use of firearm, pointing a firearm, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, unauthorized possession of firearm, possession of unauthorized firearm, possession of restricted or prohibited firearm, robbery with a firearm, careless storage of a firearm and ammunition related offences.
What are gangs or organized crime?
The Criminal Code defines organized crime as a group composed of three or more people in or outside Canada where one of their main purposes is the facilitation or commission of one or more serious offences that, if committed, would likely result in the direct or indirect receipt of a material benefit by the group or by any of the persons who constitute the group. It does not include a group of people that form randomly for the immediate commission of a single offence
I've been arrested, what should I do?
If arrested by police you should remain silent and ask to speak to a lawyer at your earliest opportunity. In cases where you have been charged with gangs, weapons or firearms related offences you should not plead guilty and retain an experienced criminal defence lawyer with the expertise and knowledge to defend these types of allegations. Every person has a right when accused of a crime to make a full answer and defense by obtaining and reviewing the information that will be used by the crown in an attempt to obtain a conviction. An experienced criminal defence lawyer will identify the technicalities of a case, raise every defence available and the challenges of lawfulness of any search, seizure or arrest.

Series OJ Slip-On – Elasto-Valve Rubber Products, Inc.
The OJ Series slip-on installation alleviates the need for, and cost of, pipe flanges by simply using pipe clamps to secure the joint to existing system pipes. EVR does not recommend use of the OJ Series in applications where pressure is greater than 50 psi.


HM Treasury has set out its approach to financial services statutory instruments (SIs) under the EU (Withdrawal) Act. According to the ministry, during the implementation period, the UK will continue to implement new EU law that comes into effect and be treated as part of the EU's single market and access between UK and EU markets will continue on current terms. The Act converts the existing body of applicable EU law into UK domestic law, and HM Treasury plans to delegate authority to the UK's financial services regulators to address any deficiencies resulting from Brexit.
The publication notes that the implementation period agreed to by the UK and the EU will be in place between March 29, 2019, and December 31, 2020, providing time to introduce new arrangements, but that UK firms will need to comply with any new EU legislation during the implementation period. EU and third-country infrastructures with existing EU authorization will continue to be able to provide services to the UK to prevent disruption. A stable process for maintaining equivalent regulatory outcomes and a collaborative relationship between supervisors is crucial to protecting both UK and EU financial systems, the HM Treasury explains.
In addition to addressing the possibility of a 'no deal' scenario, the publication notes that the Act gives ministers the power to prevent or mitigate any failure of retained EU law to operate effectively, and HM Treasury intends to provide regulators with the ability to introduce transitional measures to phase in onshoring changes and the authority to address deficiencies or redundancies that may arise when the UK leaves the EU.
EU firms operating in the UK would broadly become subject to the same supervisory regime that the UK already applies to other countries, but the ministry acknowledges that a different approach may be necessary in certain circumstances to minimize disruption, avoid unintended consequences for service continuity, and provide protection for UK consumers.
HM Treasury intends to lay the first financial services onshoring SIs in the near future, the first providing a temporary permission regime and delegating authority to cure deficiencies to UK financial services regulators.

Use of Emergency Contraception Has More Than Doubled
(HealthDay News) – The use of emergency contraception has more than doubled in recent years, primarily due to large increases in use by women in their early twenties, according to a February data brief issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Kimberly Daniels, PhD, from the NCHS in Hyattsville, MD, and colleagues interviewed more than 12,000 sexually-experienced women in the United States, aged 15–44, from 2006–2010 to ask about their use of emergency contraception and their use of other forms of birth control.
The researchers found that, overall, about one in nine women (11% or 5.8 million) used emergency contraception between 2006 and 2010, up from 4.2% in 2002. Of these, 59% had used emergency contraception once, and 24% had used it twice. About one in four women (23%) aged 20–24 used emergency contraception at some point.
"Among women who had ever used emergency contraception, nearly equal percentages of women, around 50 percent, reported having used it because of fear of method failure and because of unprotected sex," the authors write. "Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic women and those with less education were more likely to have used emergency contraception because of unprotected sex, compared with women of other characteristics. Older women, non-Hispanic white women, and women with more education more often used emergency contraception because of fear of method failure, compared with women of other characteristics."

Q: Find the relative path using CSS I'm following a tutorial of a responsive website using Jekyll.
I'm working on the header now and I'm trying to use an image as the background of the header, but I'm having problem to find the relative path for this image.
This is the path of the image in my computer: /Users/CaroleCarlos/Pictures/60H.png
and
This is the path of the folder I'm saving my project: /Users/CaroleCarlos/Desktop/DevTips-Starter-Kit-Jekyll-Starter-Kit
I'm using the following code to set the image as the background using sass:
header {
  height: 450px;
  background: url(../Pictures/60H.png);
}

but I does not work. I've tried another paths also but I don't know what I'm doing wrong that I can't find the image.
I'm using Expresso as my text editor.
I know it is not a hard thing to solve, but I've been trying to make it work for a while now, and I can't figure it out.

A: You need to go two directories back like the below code. ../ is a filler for each directory level in relative paths.
header {
  height: 450px;
  background: url(../../Pictures/60H.png);
}

A: I would recomment you to make your projet in on folder to prevent this.
you should make a folder images like so : /Users/CaroleCarlos/Desktop/DevTips-Starter-Kit-Jekyll-Starter-Kit/images
Then your path should me background: url(images/60H.png)

Alarming rate: Sexual violence against women surges in Lahore
City witnesses 32% increase in reported cases between 2014 and 2016

LAHORE: There has been steep rise in cases of sexual violence against women in Lahore in the past three years, according to data gathered by The Express Tribune.
As many as 3,275 cases, under Section 354 of the Pakistan Penal Code (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage the modesty of a woman), 376-A (rape) and 376-B (gang rape) were registered in the provincial capital from January 1, 2014 to December 24, 2016.
At least 943 cases were registered under these three sections in 2014, 1,088 in 2015 and 1,244 in 2016. An increase of 31.92% (301 cases) was observed when comparing 2014 with 2016.
Cases of assault increased 14.34 % (156 incidents) when 2015 is compared to 2016 and there is also a rise of 15.38% (145) when 2014 is compared to 2015.
Registered cases of rape increased by 50.2% from 245 in 2014 to 368 in 2016. In 2015, 338 cases were registered and this figure increased to 368 (by 8.55%) in 2016.
Insulting modesty
An increase of 36.17% (200 cases) was observed when 2014 is compared with 2016 as 553 and 753 incidents were reported, respectively.
Such cases increased by 23.85% (145 cases) when 2015 is compared to 2016 as 608 and 753 incidents were reported. When 2014 is compared to 2015, an increase of 9.95% (55 cases) was observed.
Gang-rape
Cases of gang rape decreased by 15.17% (22 incidents) when 2014 is compared to 2016.
In 2014, 145 cases came to the fore compared to 123 in 2016. The number of incidents in 2016 also saw a 12% decrease from 2015 when 141 incidents were reported.
The mindset
A senior police officer, while quoting the example of a stepfather assaulting his minor stepdaughter, said incest was rampant in society but often went unreported.
He said there was an overall trend of keeping silent in such cases to protect 'honour'. Besides incest, women victims choose to keep quiet to protect 'family honour' or 'integrity', fearing it might ruin the prospects of their siblings finding a decent match.
Punjab Commission on Status of Women Chairperson Fauzia Viqar, while talking to The Express Tribune, said society was becoming more violent and cases of assault on women were intensifying. "Different factors, including films, dramas, literature, and social media were contributing to this behaviour," she pointed out. Unlike the past, women no longer remain silent, she added. "They come forward and register these cases. Awareness among women, through campaigns by different organisations, has also been a reason for them speaking out."
Talking about the psyche involved, Fauzia pointed towards two factors. She said certain individuals derived pleasure through sexual assault and used it as a tool to exert pressure. She added sexual assault was used by male chauvinists to express power and control over women.
Aurat Foundation director Mumtaz Mughal said sexual violence was not only an issue faced by women, but society as a whole. Pointing towards the exploitation of children as labour, she said they were also assaulted and harassed despite being male.
Mumtaz continued that women were so vulnerable that even blood relations could not be trusted.
She added different factors contributed to the increase of violence against women, including a lack of state interest in provide protection, gaps the in the judicial, prosecution and policing system as well as the prevalent mindset. "Moreover, exemplary punishments are not awarded to criminals and conviction rate is extremely low."

Craig: Spring Fling is gone, if students like it or not
Canceling Spring Fling isn't actually going to curb binge drinking.
09 September 2013 Daniel Craig Commentary, Opinion
Her death was extremely tragic and just a shock. But she is not the reason for this move."
What happened to Ali Fausnaught was horrible. I can't imagine losing a friend or daughter like that. But it's also hard to imagine that Vice President Theresa Powell was being completely honest when she spoke about the cancellation in an interview with The Temple News in the quote above. Spring Fling has been a drinking holiday since I started at Temple in 2010. Deciding to end it after such a tragic accident is hard to portray as a coincidence.
This is not to say that there's anything wrong with using a tragedy as a reason to end Spring Fling. But I've been to plenty of parties where people went onto the house's roof, just as I've been to plenty of Temple events that involved underage, and at times heavy, drinking.
This is why the cancellation of Spring Fling is a predictable, possibly inevitable, but ineffective decision.
Getting rid of something as ingrained in school culture as Spring Fling does not curb underage drinking or binge drinking, nor does it prevent students from doing potentially hazardous things such as partying on a roof.
In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's poking the hornet's nest. If anything, it should incite a campus to party even harder. If you don't believe me, ask Laura Gabel, a senior advertising major.
"I don't think that canceling Spring Fling is going to stop anyone from partying," Gabel said. "Students want to let loose and have a reward for all the work they put in during the year."
Remember, this is the student body that put together a massive block party on Fontain Street on Aug. 24 and organizes in an impressive fashion for parties on St. Patrick's Day, Halloween and other holidays. It's not hard to imagine the first Facebook event that'll be created around April entitled "RIP Spring Fling 2014!"
"A few of the guys who planned the block party on Aug. 24 plan to organize something off-campus, basically the same time [Spring Fling] would have been," said Matthew Haas, a senior biology and philosophy major.
If Temple was serious about dealing with the dangers of binge drinking and the perils of partying, it would come up with something more serious than "Think About It," a mere online quiz designed to curb binge drinking in incoming freshmen, and the occasional foreboding poster in Student Health Services.
The issue is not that Temple got rid of Spring Fling due to alcohol consumption. It's that they're likely saying that and doing nothing else. You don't ban driving because of accidents. You enforce speed limits, mandate driver's education courses and take other precautionary steps.
"It's kind of been hijacked by a group of people that make this into a bacchanal, a drinking fest," President Neil Theobald said in a Temple News interview. "We're not involved in that."
That's fine. But if that's your stance, you have a lot more work to do.

Editorial: Closed hearings, open issues
Salah: Spring Fling is gone, if students like it or not

Spring Fling needed to go, and Temple is better off without it.

What better way to embrace the warm weather than listening to some live music under the Bell Tower.
Temple has very few traditions. For a school that is trying to she'd it's reputation as philly's commuter school, canceling one of the few traditions is not the way to do that.
Alcohol has become a part of college culture. You can argue this is either a good or bad thing, but it has happened. People are still going to drink, I personally know of at least three efforts to plan a 'spring fling' like event for the day it was supposed to be. You can't really stop it, but what you can do is ensure that the students are in a place where there are police, EMTS, and other safety officials on hand, rather then a sketchy block or dark basement off campus.

I did not grow up an adventurous eater. In fact, the only green thing I would eat was green beans from a can. My parents tried to get me to eat peas, but a mother can only handle so much sighing at the dinner table so she finally gave up. In daycare, I would lick the peanut butter and raisins out of the "ants on a log" and leave the sad celery sitting on the table. When I went to England, I subsisted bread and lamb because I was afraid of anything I couldn't pronounce and I hate fish. Subsequently, when my grandmother asked me, a hip 7th grader, every morning if I'd had a "B.M", I had to answer in the negative. In college, I bolstered my fiber intake with Benefiber. Yes, me and that 60 year old shopping in the same fiber aisle.
Today, you don't know me. Or, let me clarify, if you haven't eaten a meal with me in the last year or maybe even in the last month, then you don't know me in a gastronomical sense.
-I know you were there when spit out that raw cauliflower and scraped my tongue with my fingers in front of a group of cool girls.
-You were there all those times that I ordered a cold cut trio at Subway and just got meat, bread, and cheese. When I got to the veggie options, I would say, "That's it." Then, every time, the sandwich artist would say, "That's it?". Then I would say, "Yep, that's it." And then they would look at me with their crazy eyes and accidentally lose their fake fingernail in my sandwich.
-I know you were there when I mistakenly ordered a margarita pizza and had to pick the tomatoes off.
-You weren't there, but maybe you heard about the time that I choked down a chicken wrap with spinach in it and then projectile vomited in our downstairs bathroom. Afterwards, I just laid on the floor and waited for Gracie to lick it off the walls (Dogs eat barf, don't they? Mine doesn't.) and then I didn't eat spinach for a year.
– Alex was there when I gagged on the spinach stem and cried at the kitchen table by myself.
– Alex was also there (last week) when I asked him for a grape tomato, popped it in my mouth expecting it to taste like a grape tomato. After biting down on it, I realized that it LITERALLY tasted like vomit and spit it out in my hand and then cried uncontrollably for 10 minutes because it brought back repressed memories of the projectile spinach wrap situation. It was a very dramatic rendition of "Girl Eats Grape Tomato".
The things in green are veggies that I've started eating in the past year. Since being a vegetarian, I've realized a few things.
1) People are more concerned with my protein intake than I thought they were. No one said boo when I was eating 16 cheese crackers for dinner, but now that I'm eating salads and tomatoes, everyone is freaked out about my protein.
Coworker: Yum. That trail mix looks good.
Beth: Yeah, I had to get some to snack on so I can get some protein throughout the day. Alex and I are vegetarians now.
Coworker (clearly offended): May I ask why?
Beth: Well, Alex has done lots of research about the western diet and it's healthier and Americans eat too much prot….
Coworker (interrupting): Actually, it's not healthier. It's not.
Beth: YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT. I should just throw in the towel and go stuff myself with hormone-ridden Big Macs and 9 Jack in the Box tacos and then eat 1000 calories of processed crap for lunch. Doesn't all lettuce have salmonella? Whew, that was a close one. Thanks for saving me.
– There is some compelling evidence proving that plant-based diets can do amazing things, like cure cancer and prevent other diseases. It makes sense that these amazing bodies we've been given have healing powers that can be bottled or unlocked based on the fuel we're giving them. For more info on this, watch (or read) "Forks Over Knives", The Omnivore's Dilemna, documentary "The Gerson Miracle", documentary "Dying to Have Known", and book and documentary "Food Matters". Am I saying that we're going to live forever and never get sick? Of course not. Am I saying that I think your diet can affect your overall health and wellness? Absolutely. At the very least, more fresh stuff can't hurt you.
– Vegetarians are eating a diet that is environmentally sustainable. Granted, factory farms can strip the soil of nutrients and taint the water supply with pesticides, but if you buy locally and organic (like we're trying to), then you drastically reduce your carbon footprint. It takes a lot of effort (grain, water, fuel, energy) to produce one pound of beef. You can learn more about this by watching "Forks Over Knives" or "Dive! Living Off America's Waste". Alex and I are going to join a CSA (community supported agriculture) co-op that delivers organic produce to drop-off spots around Dallas every two weeks. All of these veggies are organic and they're working on making sure they're all local, so the fuel costs of transporting our food will go way down (bye bye, pears from Chile). If you're interested, take a look at Urban Acres in Dallas. What's really cool is that if you can't pick up your order one week, they will donate the fresh produce to a food bank so that people who might not be able to afford organic food will get a chance at some really high-quality, delcious food.
– Even though I am not known as an animal afficionado (the only dog I like is my own, even if she doesn't eat my vomit so I don't have to clean it up), I do care about animal welfare. I find the documentary "Food Inc" hard to watch. Aside from the fact that these animals are pumped full of hormones so that they grow at a super fast rate and are pumped full of antibiotics because they're so unhealthy, they simply aren't treated like living beings by the companies who are "raising" them. Before you accuse me of advancing the PETA agenda, I'm not saying that I am against eating meat. I am against treating animals like a commodity (a thing) instead of treating them with the respect that they deserve for providing us with life-giving meat. If I did eat meat, I would choose to eat meat that was grass fed, free range, hormone free. There is something to that "Happy Cow" California cow campaign. I haven't yet broken into the organic cheese/milk/yogurt world, but I'll get there.
– Since becoming a vegetarian, I've had more energy. So much energy that I'm jumping around the living room at night annoying Alex. Literally. I haven't once felt bloated or sick (like I do after a trip to Cici's Pizza). I feel "clean".
– Being a vegetarian makes me feel better emotionally. I'm proud of myself for eating all of these vegetables. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. It also frees me up to eat things that I actually truly enjoy, without feeling guilty. For example, I had alfredo sauce with my eggplant tonight because I had black beans for breakfast and potato soup and couscous for lunch.
– (Unexpected benefit) Even though vegetables cost more (probably 70 percent of what we buy doesn't have a barcode), we're eating all of the food that we buy on a weekly basis. Our fridge is bare when it gets to Friday, which means we aren't wasting money and more importantly, aren't wasting food. We're being better stewards of what we've bought for the week.
– (Unexpected benefit) We spend more time in the kitchen together. Sure, it takes a little more time to prepare food but we're slicing and dicing together. The extra prep time has allowed us to spend more time cooking together than we normally would have. Bam!
So there. That's why we made our decision. We're going to meet with a nutritionist soon to make sure we're getting all the right nutrients and calories but we're both trucking along feeling great.
Don't be afraid. I will still be your friend, even if you eat meat.

The Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge is situated overlooking the breathtaking Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. Below, down the steep mountain slopes is the town of Aguas Calientes, where you can relax in the hot springs at the end of a long day of exploring.
The hotel does feel a little isolated next to the ancient ruins and during the day time can feel very busy with visitors passing by. However, in the early morning and evenings the hotel comes into its own as a sanctuary from the bustling town below.
Meals are taken in a delightful restaurant where you can choose from a wide variety of dishes and enjoy the spectacular view. However, it is its convenience right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu that makes this hotel worth considering for a short stay whilst visiting the site.

Eppstein Uhen Architects will redesign Summerfest's American Family Insurance Amphitheater
Piet Levy
Milwaukee firm Eppstein Uhen Architects has landed the contract to design Summerfest's new American Family Insurance Amphitheater.
The 23,000 capacity venue — budgeted between $30 million and $35 million — is tentatively scheduled to replace the current amphitheater in 2020.
"We are honored to be selected as the lead design architect," EUA CEO Greg Uhen said in a statement. "As the flagship venue for Summerfest, the amphitheater has played a huge role in shaping the Milwaukee music experience over its 31-year span; hosting some of the world's best artists to sellout crowds. Production complexity and fan expectations have evolved, and I am personally excited to reimagine the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, exploring new possibilities to elevate the experience for decades to come. This is going to be fun."
The initial discovery phase will begin immediately, with more detailed renderings and a timeline forthcoming.
Don Smiley, CEO for Summerfest's parent company Milwaukee World Festival Inc., announced plans for a new amphitheater last January, when Madison-based American Family Insurance signed on as a 10-year title sponsor of the festival and the Big Gig's primary venue.
The entire facility will be updated, from concessions to the restrooms to the seats to the technology, including sound, lights and video projection, Smiley said at the time.

EUA has worked extensively with Summerfest, redesigning its south gate entrance and the Briggs & Stratton Big Backyard stage in 2011, designing the 5,000-seat BMO Harris Pavilion in 2012, and redesigning the Miller Lite Oasis stage and mid-gate plaza last year.

Summerfest will run from June 27 to July 1 and July 3 to 8.
Six shows have been announced so far for the amphitheater: James Taylor with Bonnie Raitt June 28; Halsey and Logic June 29; Florida Georgia Line with Bebe Rexha June 30; Dave Matthews Band July 1; Def Leppard and Journey July 4; and Shawn Mendes July 5.

This special couple gives new meaning to long-distance relationships.
Long-distance relationships can be very difficult because couples are far apart for long periods of time. Not many of these relationships last for a long time. If you are looking for some inspiration▼ to stay together, a pair of storks▼ in Croatia has proven that love can defeat any distance.
More than 15 years ago, two storks named Malena and Klepetan made their nest on top of a retired school janitor's▼ house in Croatia. Each winter, this species▼ of stork makes the long flight south to warmer climates in Africa. After being shot in the wing one year, Malena could no longer make the journey, so Klepetan went by himself. What's amazing is that every spring for more than a decade, Klepetan has managed to make the trip, around 13,000 kilometers, back to Malena. This unlikely couple in the animal kingdom proves that true love can survive long distances.
The two storks' special relationship has made them one of Croatia's most famous couples. Newspapers even report when Klepetan makes his springtime return. After all these years, the love birds are still together. Maybe people can learn a thing or two from the animal kingdom.
You will be billed monthly for your long-distance calls.

CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - By the time rescue workers arrived on the scene of a teenager believed to have suffered cardiac arrest Thursday, it was too late.
The 14-year-old girl was pronounced at the scene at a Gold's Gym in Chesterfield on Thursday morning.
Authorities say when they responded to the gym, the teenager was already unresponsive.
Experts say it's important to recognize the warning signs of cardiac arrest and understand what you can do if you spot someone in need of help.
Experts say a person can die from cardiac arrest within minutes if they don't get help immediately. It's why health advocates are sounding the alarm making sure more people can recognize when someone is having a heart problem.
Cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and stops beating suddenly. It doesn't take long for a person to become unresponsive, showing no signs of a pulse.
The American Heart Association says if you spot someone in need, first yell for help and tell someone to call 911. Then have someone rush over an automated external defibrillator. If you have to wait or one isn't there, check to see if the person is breathing. If they aren't or they're gasping for air, administer CPR pushing down at a rate of 100 to 120 pushes per minute right in the center of the chest. This can be life-saving until first responders arrive.
While Thursday's incident happened at a gym, a study shared by Harvard University says exercise-related heart deaths are rare, although a heart problem often happens when a person is exercising.
Knowing what to look for and how to respond can save the day.
Cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death with more than 320,000 people dying outside of a hospital each year.

Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, made easier through a biomarker,PET tracer, developed by Korean researchers.Activated macrophages that helps protect the body from harmful bacteria and infected cells, are known to play an important role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development.
Focusing on the translocator protein (TSPO), which is abundant in activated macrophages, researchers developed fluorine-18 (18F)-FEDAC, a radiolabeled ligand that targets TSPO and binds to it.
The findings of the study are expected to contribute to the improvement of personalized therapeutic outcomes by expanding the scope of molecular imaging and nuclear medicine.
"This study is novel because it showed the value of 18F-FEDAC PET as an inflammation biomarker for early detection of rheumatoid arthritis, even before onset of clinical symptoms of joints," explains Gi Jeong Cheon, MD, PhD, of Seoul National University College of Medicine in Seoul, Korea.
For the study, 18F-FEDAC was tested in a mouse model, using both 18F-FEDAC and 18F-FDG PET imaging. Microscopic examinations of tissue were performed to evaluate macrophages and TSPO expression.
The study found that increased TSPO mRNA and protein expression in activated macrophages, and uptake of 18F-FEDAC in activated macrophages was higher than it was in non-activated cells. In addition, 18F-FEDAC uptake by arthritic joints increased early on (day 23), whereas 18F-FDG uptake did not. However, 18F-FDG uptake by arthritic joints increased at later stages (day 37) to a higher level than 18F-FEDAC uptake.
"We observed that 18F-FEDAC uptake increased in paws of murine RA models in association with TSPO expression of activated macrophages, even before the onset of clinical symptoms of arthritis. 18F-FEDAC can help us to find which patients will actually progress to clinically significant rheumatoid arthritis and need treatment."said Gi Jeong Cheon.
The study concluded that 18F-FEDAC makes it possible to see active inflammation sites in arthritic joints by targeting TSPO expression in activated macrophages, and it suggests imaging with 18F-FEDAC could be useful when RA is suspected.
Reflecting on the comparison of 18F-FEDAC PET with 18F-FDG, Cheon states, "From our data, we found that each tracer may be useful for different information about arthritis–18F-FEDAC for early detection of subclinical arthritis and 18F-FDG for measuring disease activity of symptomatic arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic, symmetrical and erosive joint destruction. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis can develop serious joint deformities and loss of function resulting in serious disability.

State regulations will force craft breweries to lay workers off
Written by John Phelan
in Economics, Regulation
Yesterday, I wrote about how regulations stifle the economy. Another example comes from today's Pioneer Press.
At present, breweries in Minnesota can sell 'growlers' – beer in half-gallon reusable containers – as long as they produce no more than 20,000 barrels of beer annually. If they produce more than that, they can't.
The Castle Danger brewery in Two Harbors is finding this out the hard way. They have grown since their establishment in 2011 and have now passed the legislated limit of 20,000 barrels. As a result, from October 1st, they will no longer be able to sell growlers by law.
As the Pioneer Press reports,
The loss of growlers for Castle Danger will impact them fiscally, and they'll have to make "some pretty tough decisions," said Maddy Stewart, marketing and events manager for Castle Danger.
Growlers make up around 30 percent of all taproom sales, she said. To account for the lost sales, the company will eliminate a handful of part-time positions, as well as one full-time position, she said.
Lauren Bennett McGinty, executive director of Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild, said she's heard that businesses' lost revenue can near $300,000.
"A lot of our breweries do their best to prepare for (hitting the cap). … We know that Castle Danger has done their best to do that," she said. "But it's still a huge loss."
Castle Danger is the first in a "wave" of breweries that are going to lose their growler-selling ability, Stewart said.
Bent Paddle Brewing, Lift Bridge Brewing Company and Indeed Brewing Company are also "quickly approaching" the 20,000 mark, Bennett McGinty said.
Regulation to protect who?
This example shows clearly the economic damage that regulations can do. Who supports such harmful measures?
Cui bono? As the Pioneer Press reports, "Those in favor of this law say the cap supports a three-tiered distribution system that includes producers, distributors and retailers." In other words, it exists to prevent by law the sale of beer by producers such as Castle Danger to you, the consumer. Its sole purpose is to guarantee the position of the middlemen, the distributors and retailers. If you want to know who supports this harmful law, it is the distributors and retailers who need it to protect their market share and their lobbyists in the Minnesota Beer Wholesalers Association.
This is unfortunate. As I wrote in a recent edition of our magazine, Thinking Minnesota, our state's craft brewers have been an economic success story in the last decade. This is largely the result of the repeal of various regulations, like the 20,000 barrel production cap.
Regulations are generally pushed as protecting the consumer or the public more generally. But who is being protected by state regulations limiting the size of vessel smaller brewers can sell or whether they can sell growlers or not? Are the consumers being protected from too much choice? No. It is middlemen and larger competitors who can afford the lobbyists to push these regulations who are really being protected.
Minnesota's craft brewers have succeeded in recent years despite these regulatory barriers. Just imagine how they could flourish without them.

TOM Watson says he sent Tiger Woods a text message to tell him he was sorry about his back injury ahead of his Ryder Cup selection.
US CAPTAIN Tom Watson says that Tiger Woods' latest back injury "doesn't bode well right now" for Woods playing in the Ryder Cup.
Watson told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio he was watching the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational when Woods withdrew after hitting his tee shot on the ninth hole because of another injury to his back.
"Tiger would be a great addition to our team," Watson said.
"As I've said all along, I would pick Tiger Woods if he's healthy and playing well. This doesn't bode well right now. I just hope that maybe it's just an isolated problem that he can turn around and possibly play this week at the PGA."
Woods flew home to Florida on Sunday to be evaluated.
It was not clear when he would know if he could play at Valhalla, where he won the PGA Championship in 2000.
His caddie was on the course Monday.
Woods, in only his third tournament since returning from back surgery, said he jarred his lower back when he hopped into a deep bunker after playing an awkward shot from the slope on the second hole at Firestone.
He tried to keep playing and hit some shockingly bad shots - one into the water on No. 3, another on the par-three fifth that was 65 yards short of the flag.
"I watched him play almost the entire front nine," Watson said.
"And the shot he had at 5 ... I said, `Something's wrong with Tiger.' You don't hit that terrible a shot ever - ever. And then, of course, No. 9, he just couldn't go any farther.
"It concerns me because that's an injury that seems like he tried to address before and he's come back from that particular injury."
Watson said he sent Woods a text message to tell him he was sorry about the injury, and "I hope you get well soon."
Woods missed two majors and three months of the season after March 31 back surgery. He has no chance of making the Ryder Cup team unless he wins the PGA Championship. If he can't play this week, that would be the end of his PGA Tour season until after the Ryder Cup.

Below are some of the more frequently asked questions from our patients. Please feel free to call us at 302-994-0979 with any additional questions that you might have.
Dental x-rays (or radiographs) are the safest and least expensive "dental insurance plan" that you can buy. Radiographs help us to find problems when they are smaller and less expensive to fix. And when we find problems in their early stages, the restorative action taken is more likely to last longer. The digital x-rays that we take use up to 90% less radiation than standard x-ray films and are incredibly safe.
We are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Thursday and 8:00 am to 12:00 pm on Fridays.
Do you offer braces and/or Invisalign?
Dr. Rosen is an Invisalign certified dentist. For many years we practiced standard orthodontics with wires and brackets but now we almost always use Invisalign teeth straightening aligners with our patients. Our extensive training and expertise not only allows us to catch early growth and dental development problems in children but it also helps our patients make educated decisions in regards to their smile.
We accept most dental insurance plans and can help you get the most out of your plan. Our front desk team, Helen and Dawn, would be happy to answer any specific questions that you may have.
We have several financing options available to our patients. Depending on the dental treatment that you are having done, you can pay as you go, use your credit card, or make monthly payments. We also have also no-interest loans and longer-term third-party financing options.

The Cool List: 17 Restaurants That Aren't "Hot" But Are Definitely Still Cool
Restaurants tend to get blown up for six months, until everyone decides to move on. Let's not allow that to happen. Here are 17 spots to revisit.
Tuome
American / Fusion in East Village
Hillary Reinsberg
Learn more about our ratings
Perfect For: Date Night Quiet Meals
There are approximately 800 restaurants in New York that are "Asian influenced." There are probably another 400 that serve some take on pork belly, and let's say there are 200 serving some newfangled "fancy" take on deviled eggs. And at least a dozen are run by chefs who trained at places like Eleven Madison Park.
Tuome is all of these things, but it's also pretty different. And more importantly, it's really, really good.
Tuome is located in a cozy little space on 5th Street near Avenue B, and it's one of the most enjoyable new places we've been recently. The food and space both have that rare ability to feel casual and comfortable, but still finished. Tuome isn't a half-finished assignment cobbled together during a Red Bull-fueled all-nighter. This place did the homework all semester and even got one of those plastic folders to put the term paper in.
A number of menu items - pork belly, octopus, scallops, skate, mushrooms - are not uncommon, but their preparations all are, in great ways. Octopus comes in a cool spiral with XO sauce, the scallops have a somehow not ridiculously rich foie gras sauce, and mushrooms feature an exploding egg yolk. The star of the show, at least in that it was on nearly every table, is the "Pig Out" for two, which consists of little squares of crispy pork belly with sides of spicy sesame noodles.
The service is solid and friendly, which helps, considering the crowd here was slightly older than average for the East Village. We've seen quite a few dates on our visits, but we'd come with a group of four or more if you can so that you can order the large format "Pig Out" while still getting to try the rest of the menu.
Speaking of which: Let's. Get. Into. It.
Food Rundown
Deviled Egg
Deviled eggs are a "thing" now, and not just at your aunt's Easter party. This one's crispy on the outside with chili on top.
The octopus comes in one long, nicely-cooked piece, with a creamy XO sauce in the middle of the plate.
We've been thinking about this dish since we tried it. Chicken liver mousse alone on the soft toast would be good - with the sweet maple syrup, sea salt, and pumpkin seeds, it becomes awesome. A must.
A pretty funky selection of mushrooms, with an exploding egg yolk.
This fish is lightly fried, but it's no fish and chips. It's topped with little bits of almond and cauliflower, as well as a foamy sauce. If you're with a group of four, we'd do an order of this plus the Pig Out.
If you love scallops, go for it. These were enjoyable, but not as memorable as other dishes.
Pig Out
This is Tuome's big hit so far, and for good reason. For $49, you get 10 blocks of exceptionally crispy pork belly, plus a salad with persimmons and two bowls of al dente spicy peanut noodles. That's a lot. It's also a pretty rich choice for date night, and you won't have room to order much else, so come with a crew and get one for the table. Or just come back on repeat visits. Also, Chinese delivery places - please figure out how to make sesame noodles like these.
If you're not doing the Pig Out, this is a good choice should you want a side carbohydrate. The glutinous rice comes with little bits of Chinese sausage and duck fat. And a few pieces of kale. For good measure.

The corner lot at Highway 33 and Wilson Lane (Main Street) including the high school parking lot was the hot topic at the February 7th School Board Workshop. Marty Gibbs, 1st District Board Member, thanked Keep Union County Beautiful for picking up litter and trash on the high school property. Mr. Gibbs also commented that he had received several texts and phone calls from citizens and even students regarding the appearance and messages received by visitors especially during high school games. Mr. Gibbs also expressed that going forward he hoped that the system could keep our school grounds clean within the system and not rely on the county personnel or KUCB.
Maynardville Mayor Marty Smith and City Councilman Ty Blakely addressed not only litter concerns, but also sign clutter at the same corner. They offered to seek a grant to establish and maintain a small city park if the Board would give them the corner property. This "solution" triggered a stream of questions that covered state easements, safety barriers, sign ordinances, grant amounts, long term lease, landscaping, and park use and users. Representatives of Maynardville City will return with some more specific information and "walk the area " with board members prior to the next school board meeting on March 14.
During the meeting, the Board approved a trip by the MES Beta Club to Pigeon Forge, the budget amendments and transfers, and TSBA recommended board policy changes. In addition, board members voted to satisfy their required annual training by holding a joint planning workshop in Knoxville in June. Dr. Jimmy Carter, Director of Schools, will be evaluated by the board in March. Dr. Ronnie Mincey explained the activities and purpose of the Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant to promote mental health for students. The board accepted the grant's $30,000 which will provide programs in all county schools. The next meeting will be at 6:00 pm on March 14, at UCHS.
Gerald Smith from 7th District and Brad Griffey from the 2nd District did not attend the meeting.

I must state from the start that I only had a small role in Offender, however I was involved behind the scenes in pre production and also advised on set during my shoot days.
The film is about the search for street level justice set against the backdrop of a notorious London young offenders prison.
My character is called Jailer Joel and features at the very beginning of the film. He gives Tommy (Joe Cole) his first taste of prison brutality; a punch in the mouth!
'Offender' is unique in that it's the first film to address the London riots and with the exception on Alan Clarkes's 'Scum' (1979), is the only film to be set in a British young offenders prison.
The film stars Joe Cole, English Frank, Kimberley Nixon, Shaun Dooley, Tyson Oba, G. Frsh, Scorcher and Ruth Gemmell – with Ron Scalpello onboard as director – what was it like working with the cast and crew on-set? Any good anecdotes?
Joe Cole is a hugely exciting new British talent; as charming, genuine and real off the screen as he is on it, I believe he has a long and successful career ahead of him. For me, Ron Scalpello represents the new wave of exciting British directors following the likes of Andrea Arnold – ('Fish Tank', 2009), Shane Meadows – ('This Is England', 2006) and Nick Love – ('Football Factory', 2004). Ron is not afraid to take a chance on new/unknown acting talent and is comfortable approaching difficult/taboo subject matters head on. His cinematography in 'Offender' is at points stunning; Tommy's initial entry through the snow and burning toilet paper missiles into the prison and Elise's (Kimberly Nixon) miscarriage are two scenes that really stood out for me.
Let's talk a bit about you Todd. What made you want to get into the industry in the first place?
It's just in me! I've tried to suppress it and at times forgotten about it, but now that I've accepted, embraced and exercised it – I'm proud to call myself an 'actor'!
Anyone that's serious will already have found out how to get involved so I don't want to appear in any way patronising or condescending with clichéd advice, however in my experience I've found it important to be patient, polite, punctual, professional and most importantly – positive.
You've had a number of roles in different films and TV series – which actors/actresses have been your favourites to work with and why? Any good stories?
I met Nick Love and Ray Winstone on 'The Sweeney' (2012). They are two of my idols and exactly what I thought they'd be like – top blokes!
I like to think I've got a tune for every situation however I'm mainly into House. I have a pirate radio background so am more about underground beats than the commercial scene. Three random albums on my I-Pod: The Jam – The Very Best Of, Audio Bullys – Higher Than The Eiffel and Alicia Keys – Songs in A Minor.
Wilfred Owen, I'm obsessed with his poem Dulce Et Decorum Est.
My Gran, to find out what happens when you die!
My younger self, to give him a big slap!
Wet wipes, I'm a very clean person!
A satellite phone to arrange my rescue.
A pen and paper to write about it all!
I'm the lead in a brand new stage show called 'You Ain't Football' and have been cast in two films, 'Doorways' and 'Fakers', both due to be shot in late 2012/early 2013.
Previous Kevin Sizemore – (Red Line – 2013). Next Tia Streaty – (Love – 2011).

As a social democratic political foundation we strive to establish a society in which all individuals have equal rights, equal accessibility to resources and all contribute to society.
The long-lasting Israeli-Palestinian conflict puts considerable strain on Jewish-Arab relations inside Israel. In addition, the very diverse and heterogeneous Israeli society constitutes a significant challenge for the building of a shared society. Consequently, we collaborate with a broad spectrum of Israeli NGOs and universities as well as with international partners such as the Club de Madrid with the aim of laying the groundwork for a shared society in Israel.
Building a shared society demands a variety of measures, including the empowerment of minority groups, the establishment of equal rights for all citizens and the facilitation of meetings and cooperation between members of different groups in society.
Our activities include leadership courses for young people from the Arab society in Israel with the aim of building a skilled and well informed leadership that will enhance active participation of Arab Israeli citizens in shaping the destiny of their communities. We facilitate meetings between alumni of both Arab and Jewish leadership courses in order to establish long lasting contacts and partnerships between these young future leaders. In addition we focus on the enhancement of equal rights for Arab Israeli citizens in all fields of life, such as political participation, economy and culture. We contribute to the empowerment of minority groups in Israeli society such as the Ethiopian community, and take measures against racism in Israeli society. These activities include courses for activists and council members, conferences and media campaigns.
In cooperation with Club de Madrid and a number of Israeli NGOs we are working on the development of a nation-wide concept and action plan for a shared society in Israel, while in parallel we partner projects which strive to establish practically oriented partnerships and cooperation between neighboring Jewish and Arab communities.

A statement by Chijioke Amu-Nnadi, NDDC Head of Corporate Affairs, stated that no such purchases had been made since assumption of office on November 4, 2016, of the current Governing Board.
"Indeed, it is a known fact that the Chairman, Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), the Managing Director/CEO, Nsima Ekere, and the two Executive Directors are still using their private vehicles three months after assumption of duties.
"The NDDC is only now in the process of acquiring work vehicles, and is adhering strictly to due process. These include five (5) Toyota Prado jeeps, 10 Toyota Hilux trucks, four (4) Toyota Landcruiser jeeps, one (1) Toyota Coaster bus and two (2) Toyota Hiace buses.
"The Commission has just received the Due Process Compliance Certificate from the Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, and is preparing the mandatory memo for the approval of the Federal Executive Council.
"We wish to restate that the current Board and Management of the NDDC is committed to making its transactions transparent, by adhering strictly to processes and procedures of Government, as espoused in the Board's 4-R Initiative of restoring the Commission's core mandate, restructuring the balance sheet, reforming our processes and reaffirming a commitment to doing what is right and proper at all times in facilitating the sustainable development of the Niger Delta region.
'In this regard, the Commission is also partnering with Bureau for Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) and Open Government Partnership (OGP) to improve the Commission's governance systems, procurement and project implementation processes, in order to plug all loopholes and systematically eliminate all incidences of mismanagement and corruption.


The Maastricht Treaty of the early 1990s laid out the criteria for fiscal convergence in the common currency area. These were that countries could not run an annual deficit of more than 3% of GDP and could not have a government debt of greater than 60% of GDP. In theory, these rules may seem sensible but in practice they were anything but.
Conventional economic wisdom is that governments should attempt to run a counter-cyclical budgetary policy. This requires a reduction of government expenditure and an increase in taxes during the good times to allow the opposite to occur during a downturn.
Some of this will happen naturally as tax revenues rise and social welfare expenditure falls during an expansion. A problem can arise when governments use the fiscal space afforded by an upturn for discretionary expenditure increases and tax cuts.
It is these structural or political influences on the budget balance that the fiscal rules are trying to address rather than the naturally occurring cyclical elements. The rules are trying to move fiscal policy away from a setting where it is based on a philosophy of "when you have it, you spend it" as declared by Charlie McCreevey in 2002.
Many governments used the existing 3% of GDP deficit benchmark as a target rather than a limit. Thus when economic improvements allowed they loosened fiscal policy. When the downturn hit in 2008 deficits across the eurozone surged past the 3% limit.
At present, 14 of the 17 eurozone countries are in an Excessive Deficit Procedure which means they must reduce deficit back in an agreed timeframe. Ireland has one of the largest deficits and we are aiming to be under the limit by 2015.
The problem with this is that the fiscal stance of the eurozone is pro-cyclical. Governments increased discretionary expenditure in the relatively good times. Now European economies are in a downturn but fiscal policy is exacerbating this through expenditure cuts and tax increases. This is not the basis for sound macroeconomic management.
There are alternative views on this. One is that fiscal policy is wrong now because reducing deficits in a downturn is not sensible. A second is that fiscal policy was wrong in the past because it did not allow for sufficiently large surpluses to create the room to run the deficits that the downturn now necessitates. Both arguments have merit.
The rules in the Fiscal Compact would have had little impact in pre-crisis Ireland as we easily satisfied them every year up to 2007. This is also true for Spain, and in the five years to 2007, Portugal had a better record of adhering to rules than Germany. Only Italy and Greece were in almost permanent breach. The rules in the Fiscal Compact would not have prevented the current crisis nor are they a complete solution to the current crisis.
However, it is important to remember that there are more changes than the deficit and debt rules enshrined in the Fiscal Compact. The Fiscal Compact takes some of the rules from the revised Stability and Growth Pact and seeks to make them binding and permanent so that adherence to them is automatic rather than by choice.
There are other elements to the Stability and Growth Pact not included in the Fiscal Compact that might have had an impact in Ireland if they were in place for the past decade.
The first is a government expenditure rule which limits the increase in expenditure to a long-term average growth rate in the economy. In the years leading up to the crisis Irish government expenditure increased at an alarming rate but they were financed through the huge tax revenues that the property bubble was generating. At the time of the above quote from Charlie McCreevey government expenditure was increasing at a staggering 20% per year.
As we now know the tax revenues were transitory and have disappeared while the expenditure increases were permanent. Scaling back on these expenditure increases, or finding sustainable tax revenue to fund them, is proving incredibly difficult. The expenditure rule would have curtailed the increases in government expenditure and more of the windfall taxes from the property bubble would have been saved.
The second mechanism is the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure. This is an attempt to broaden the surveillance of an economy out from the government deficit and debt measures which were the focus of the original Stability and Growth Pact.
This procedure is based on a scorecard of ten macroeconomic indicators. If it had been used at the time, Ireland's scorecard would have shown continued imbalances in relation to house prices and private sector credit. It is possible we would have been forced to introduce policies to try and curb these imbalances rather than wilfully declaring that "the fundamentals are sound".
We cannot be sure what the exact impact of the expenditure rule and the imbalance procedure actually would have been. They are very unlikely to have fully prevented the crisis but they might have left us in a stronger fiscal position at the end of the boom and may have curbed some of the excessive bank lending that took place during it.
In the lead-up to the referendum there will be increased scrutiny on the budgetary rules in the Fiscal Stability Treaty. It is important to note that these rules are already in place and rejecting the Treaty cannot alter that. There are some changes in the Treaty that deal with the enforcement of the rules and the imposition of fines and penalties.
If the Treaty is rejected we will be forced to adhere to the budgetary rules anyway but will be denied access the new European Stability Mechanism (ESM) bailout fund. This will have no impact on the current EU/IMF programme we are in and, if necessary, this programme can be extended. However if Ireland needs to enter a new programme of assistance at some time in the future we will not be granted assistance via EU loans and may be left in a vulnerable funding position.
There is little that is new in the Treaty, and some of the rules governing fiscal policy in the EU have been left out altogether. It is hard to know why this Treaty is necessary, apart from appeasing voters in France and particularly Germany.
We cannot avoid the fiscal rules in the Treaty. We cannot avoid the measures necessary to bring our deficit under control. The Treaty may be part of a long-term move for a more fiscally-integrated Europe. This would be a real change and one we should be part of. All in all there is little to be gained from rejecting the Treaty.

Flooding in the UK in June has yet to fully have an impact on motor insurance premiums, according to new figures released by Experian.
The organisation stated that the average quote for overall cover in quarter three was just 0.8 per cent more than the second quarter.
However, there was a rise in the average premium rate in the broker market, the company suggested, from £495 in June to £538 in July (for comprehensive cover).
Managing director of Experian's insurance service division David Murby stated that there may be more of an impact on the car insurance industry from the adverse weather in the future.
"The true impact of the floods is likely to manifest itself in insurance premiums over the next few months in the direct market once claims have been settled and insurers have been able to assess the real impact. The broker market is likely to follow suit," he commented.
Confused.com recently stated that people's jobs have a bearing on the level of car insurance they will pay, with footballers handing out the most.

We did have plan on driving to Beaver Creek for our last day, but when we awoke to a heavy snowfall we knew the drive to Beaver Creek would be no fun at all. Instead we enjoyed a lazy snowy day at Breckenridge.
Before we layered up and headed out, we made sure to enjoy a leisurely breakfast of pancakes.
Derek was on pancake flipping duty again and did another fabulous job.
I topped my pancakes with vanilla yogurt and fresh mango.
On the side I had a sausage patty.
Check out Derek's loaded plate!
He hand pancakes w/ mango, a fried egg, biscuit and two sausage patties!
The morning started off verrrrryyyyy cold.
My brothers and Dad went to the top of the mountain, while Kelly, Derek and I took our time on peak 7.
After a couple of runs we couldn't take it anymore and headed inside for some HOT drinks.
We had packed our lunches again today, but after oggling all the bread bowls filled with chili and soup our cold lunches failed in comparison. So, we caved and treated ourselves to a hot meal.
Derek and I shared a chili filled bread bowl.
Sooo worth the $12.95. 😉 The spicy chili heated me right up!
I actually had to cool my mouth down with the pear I had packed for my original lunch.
We stopped at the top for a final hot chocolate.
and enjoyed the closest thing to chocolate Kelly could provide me with.
After a week of avoiding the t-bar, Derek finally believe he was ready to join the big boys club.
We said our good byes to the mountain and headed back to the car for one last run.
On the way home we made a friend.
Meet Marley the moose. I named him. Isn't he cute?
My plate contained some veggie lo mein, a tofu lettuce wrap, and some sushi.
I had the last piece of cake with some vanilla yogurt for dessert.
We are heading out early tomorrow to catch our flight home.
As much as I love Colorado I miss Florida's warmth and humidity. I also miss Maddie! I know Maddie is having a ball with her dog sitter, but I miss cuddling with my baby!


Flybuster is the safest, most efficient, environmentally friendly fly control system on the market. Once egg laying flies are caught, the breeding cycle is broken. This drastically reduces the future fly population in areas where the trap is in use.
Superior to other pest control sprays and homemade traps, it is an effective and a green alternative to traditional methods of eliminating flies. Flybuster has undergone scientific field tests with environmental experts and pest control industry leaders.
The trap is a clear plastic container with a unique one-way patented lid designed to allow flies to easily enter while preventing their escape. The trap comes filled with the exact amount of bait needed. The bottom of each container serves as the trapping area.
The bait is composed of fermented yeasts and additives approved for use in the food industry. It is non-toxic, does not contain insecticides, and is completely harmless to the environment, animals, and humans.
During the day flies stay inside sheds and buildings to find food such as manure, old food and other organic substances. In the evening they exit these structures in order to find an ideal place to rest.
Inside the Flybuster trap is a bait that flies find irresistible. When water is poured into the container the attractant dissolves, matures and is activated.
As the flies change places from daytime to night time, they are lured by the scent and odor of the bait and enter through the opening at the top of the container. Once inside the trap, the flies cannot escape and drown in the water.

Elena Elias was born on May 11, 2017, after only 23 weeks and five days of gestation. Her mom, Natalie, had an emergency cesarean section at Huntington Hospital. Elena was born small — only 1 pound, 2.2 ounces (515 grams) — a micro preemie. Elena could not breathe on her own at birth. Elizabeth Kovacs, MD, along with our supporting team of nurses and respiratory therapists, worked intensely to put in place a breathing tube in Elena's windpipe, and to stabilize her.
The first tiny patient to experience our small baby unit, Elena was closely monitored and received intensive care. After a month in the unit's highly controlled environment, she was strong enough to graduate to our regular NICU. By September, she was home with her parents. Today, one of our occupational therapists continues to see Elena regularly — and she is thriving.

Q: How can photons/particles/objects/things be massless? How could we say a photon be massless? A thing which has no mass is seem to be just like it does not exist or we say it is nothing. It should be very less but we can't say "massless".
Everything which exist should have mass (quantity) that's why it is existing. According to me there is nothing such thing called massless! Every particle is actually a matter! because if anything have should also have volume and according to the definition of matter: anything which has mass and occupies space is called matter?

A:
How can photons/particles/objects/things be massless?

Photons aren't massless the way people think. A photon has a non-zero "inertial mass" and a non-zero "active gravitational mass". But it doesn't have a "rest mass" because it's never at rest. You can't slow down a photon like you can slow down an electron. Or speed it up by pushing it. Rest mass does not apply to a photon. And nowadays when people say mass without qualification, they mean rest mass.

How could we say a photon be massless? A thing which has no mass is seem to be just like it does not exist or we say it is nothing. It should be very less but we can't say "massless". Everything which exist should have mass (quantity) that's why it is existing.

You are confusing rest mass and energy. If a thing has no energy it doesn't exist. But if it has no rest mass because it's moving at c rather than sitting there at rest, it still exists. Light exists, you can see because of it, grass grows because of it, lambs eat grass, and you eat lambs. You are here because of this light. It exists, and so do you. In fact, we make matter out of light in pair production.

According to me there is nothing such thing called massless! Every particle is actually a matter! because if anything have should also have volume and according to the definition of matter: anything which has mass and occupies space is called matter?

There's light, and there's matter. We convert one into the other in pair production or in annihilation. An atom bomb converts a small percentage of matter into gamma radiation, which is light. A fire converts an even smaller percentage of matter into light.

Reisha Perlmutter
Studio Diary
Reisha Perlmutteroften creates self portraits.
Reisha is often considered a 'hyperrealist' artist, however she follows a more gestural painting approach.
Reisha started painting underwater scenes whilst recovering from an injury.
Born in Florida in 1990, Reisha Perlmutter is an American artist known for her exploration of the female body's relationship with water. Reisha has previously lived and studied in France and Italy, before moving back to the US to complete her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. Reisha's art is unique in its renewed understanding of the intimacy of female form. Combining elements of realism into her figurative art, Reisha's mastery of oils makes for large scale textural paintings that give permanence to transient moments.
Reisha Perlmutter's Exhibitions
Reisha held her first solo show, Immerse in New York in 2017. Showing works such as Plexus and Seeed, the exhibition displayed 15 of Reisha's paintings and immersed viewers in portraits and nudes female figures in water. The result of years of work, Immerse included a number of the artist's self portraits and was a call to empower women to appreciate the power and resilience of their bodies. Since this seminal exhibition, Reisha has gone on to show in a multitude of exhibitions throughout the US and Canada.
The Development of Reisha's Style
From afar, Reisha's paintings appear to be hyperreal, but due to their sheer scale, closer inspection reveals the layering and texture that exists in Reisha's art. From the success of her Immerse exhibition, Reisha has gone on to develop her textural approach, and in doing so has departed from a photoreal aesthetic. Her latest collection, LUNAR combines a warmer palette with looser brushstrokes and takes on a different perspective to enhance the dramatic contrasts between light and shadow. Maintaining the balance of intimacy and freedom, Reisha's paintings continue to be authentic meditations on the power of the female body.
You can read more about Reisha Perlmutter's exploration of the power of intimacy in our article on the artist.

Jerusalem Post Middle East ISIS NEWS
ISIS fanatics call on supporters to 'terrorize' Jewish people in the West
ISIS fanatics recently encouraged supporters to target Jewish communities in the West in a hate-filled statement posted in an online chat room designated to inspire would-be terrorists to act.
Published: MARCH 2, 2017 08:32
Updated: MARCH 2, 2017 09:19
A still image taken from an Islamic State (ISIS) video
"Dress up like a Jew and make sure you have plenty of weapons under your coat," is only one part of the chilling statement recently made by ISIS fanatics in a call for fellow extremists to "terrorize" Jewish communities in the West.
According to the Daily Mail, the call to arms first appeared on an ISIS-affiliated Telegram channel named Lone Mujahid, an online chat room in which aspiring terrorists encourage one another to carry out lone wolf attacks.
The full post read: "IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE WEST! Dress up like a Jew! Go to your nearest Jewish area! Make sure you have plenty of weapons under your coat!" and then urged followers to "unleash the pain of Muslims" on the potential victims.
The Daily Mail reported that an additional message included a list of Jewish communities in Britain for jihadists to target in their attacks.
France after Kosher Deli terror attack (credit: REUTERS)
This post was accompanied by a photo of Amedy Coulibaly, the Islamist gunman who carried out the Hyper Casher terror attack in Paris, France on January 9, 2015. Coulibaly, whose image is often used by ISIS-linked terrorists to hail terror attacks in the name of Islam, killed a French policewoman in a Paris suburb and then murdered four hostages at a kosher supermarket before being shot dead by police.
Pointing at Jews as a favorable target once more, the post then called on fanatics to follow Coulibaly's lead: "Take the brother's example and terrorize the Yahood [Jew]."

 Ronaldo is smashing gender stereotypes and betting odds after becoming a father of twins!
10.07.2017 » Ronaldo is smashing betting odds after becoming a father of twins!
Following another successful season on the pitch, few were expecting the rumors that broke out a few months ago, reporting that Ronaldo was about to become father via surrogacy. It turns out the rumors were true and Ronaldo has already welcomed the twins Eva and Mateo into the family.
At this stage of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo is already rated as one of the best footballer players the world has ever seen. He's also a philanthropist, heartthrob, an all round good guy and very recently, a father of twins as well. Ronaldo was already father to one son, Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, who he welcomed to this world back in 2010, but news broke this week that he had become a father via surrogate again, but this time to twins, a girl and a boy. The names chosen for the twins were Eva for the girl and Mateo for the boy.
The odds of having twins is around 3/100, making it rather unlikely that you would be blessed with them. That makes of Ronaldo a very lucky man, not just on the pitch, but apparently off it as well. What are the chances of a celebrity having twins, or how many goals Ronaldo will score in his next match? You have access to all of the world's markets at the tip of your fingers and you can place a wager on pretty much anything, as long as the odds are right!
So what makes Ronaldo so great?
Cristiano was born in 1985 in Madeira, Portugal. As a youngster, he played for a local and amateur team called Andorinha, before moving to another local club in the island, called Nacional. Then, aged 12, he had a 3-day trial with Sporting CP, who then ended up paying £1.500 for him to come aboard. By the age of 14, the spark for professional football was well and truly alight and he moved to play for the Lions (Sporting's nickname in Portugal) and joined the youth players in Alcochete, at the club's academy.
It wasn't until 2003 when he caught the attention of Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, due to the fact that other players had noticed his exceptional talent on the field and urged the Scottish to sign him. Ferguson was quoted as saying that the young 18 year old Ronaldo was "one of the most exciting young players" he had ever come across.
Ronaldo career is still far from being over, so it remains to be seen how his career will continue to develop and improve! Looking forward for the next chapters!
