At Atlas Brew Works, environmental sustainability is all the buzz
Rachel Nania | @NaniaWTOP
In the food and beverage industry, cutting down on food waste is all the buzz, and one local brewery is finding a tasty way to do it.
At grocery stores around the world, the fate of bruised peaches and misshapen plums is often the trash — but one D.C. brewery is helping to cut down on food waste by finding a new use for imperfect fruit: Beer.
Since 2017, Atlas Brew Works has teamed up with MOM's Organic Market to turn unsold stone fruit into a sour summer ale, aptly named Ugly & Stoned.
Last year, the brewery rescued about 500 pounds of fruit per batch of beer. This year, it's hoping to do the same.
How local brewers name their beers
Killed By Asteroids? Raised By Wolves? Gone are the days of boring beer names. In a booming industry that continues to grow, craft brewers are tapping into their creative sides to brand their barrels and bottles.
"Our sort of ethos, in general, is trying to be a good environmental steward," said Atlas Brew Works founder and CEO Justin Cox, who launched the "Rescue Brew" project with the folks at Environmental Working Group and Food Policy Action Education Fund.
Atlas, located in the Ivy City neighborhood of Northeast D.C., is 100% solar-powered. It also has water recapturing programs and donates its spent grain to local farms for feed and compost. Working to eliminate food waste by using fruit that doesn't sell in the store seemed like the next logical step, Cox said.
In the U.S., 30 to 40 percent of all food is wasted, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. And more food ends up in landfills and incinerators than any other single material in our everyday trash, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports.

Atlas head brewer Daniel Vilarrubi describes Ugly & Stoned, which is made using recovered peaches, plumbs, nectarines, pluots and apricots, as having "a bit of body to it and a touch of sweetness" — perfect for summer. Each batch varies, however, depending on the type of fruit used and the amount collected.
"The idea is [MOM's is] going to give us the stuff that they can't sell," Vilarrubi said.
Cox added: "Normally we try to make all of our beers very consistent, we work very hard to make sure that each batch tastes similar or the same as the previous batch, but this beer we kind of just said, 'Let's do the opposite. Whatever it tastes like, it tastes like.'"
The brewery plans to release Ugly & Stoned in cans and kegs around July 4.
Before that happens, Atlas employees, friends and customers will gather in the tap room on Saturday, June 22 to cut up hundreds of pounds of the donated stone fruit, before it is pasteurized, fermented and made into beer.
The "stoning party" starts at 11 a.m. and is open to the public.

Stevie Wilkerson resigns with Orioles on a minor-league deal
Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports that the Orioles resigned UTIL Stevie Wilkerson to a minor-league deal.
The contract includes an invitation to spring training. The 28-year-old missed the entire 2020 season due to a fractured finger. He posted a .669 OPS in 2019.

Stevie Wilkerson fractures finger
Stevie Wilkerson fractured his finger and will miss significant time, per manager Brandon Hyde.
Wilkerson had a shot at making the Opening Day roster due to the lack of Orioles' depth in the outfield, so this is tough news to swallow. Expect him to try and latch on with a team in 2021.

Stevie Wilkerson collects two hits Sunday
Stevie Wilkerson went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Phillies, hitting two singles and driving in a run in the 3-2 victory.
Wilkerson is competing for at-bats in the outfield, but is likely to be nothing more than a fifth outfielder. He needs to cut down on his abysmal 30% strikeout rate to be considered an everyday regular.
Stevie Wilkerson hits a home run in win on Saturday
Stevie Wilkerson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an RBI single as the Orioles defeated the Blue Jays 8-1 on Saturday.
Wilkerson has been seeing action in the outfield and second base but has not been able to land a full-time role with his bat. On the season the 27-year-old is hitting just .218 with a .265 on-base percentage, seven home runs, and 21 RBI. Wilkerson can be left on the waiver wire.

Stevie Wilkerson hits a three-run homer on Tuesday
Stevie Wilkerson went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Yankees.
Wilkerson has been seeing some playing time with the Orioles and is hitting .264 with five home runs and 13 RBI in 25 games. Some solid numbers but there will be some regression and fantasy owners can avoid Wilkerson.

Animal lover. Passionate scientist. Proud owner of the world's greatest rescued shelter dogs (and cats), who are the reason for EVERYTHING that I do. Amateur illustrator and writer. Finished my Masters of Forensic Science degree at a large university in an even larger east coast city, with concentrations in veterinary / wildlife forensics and criminalistics. Worked for the SPCA's law enforcement and veterinary services divisions and used forensics to aid in animal investigations. Currently working for University of Florida, designing their Wildlife Forensics Certificate Program, and trying to spread the word about the emerging and very promising field of animal forensics, which combines my two great loves – so far, so good! Hoping to save the world, one animal at a time.
I stumbled across your site and was interested to learn more about you and your work. I, too, am interested in wildlife forensics. I'm the author of ANIMAL INVESTIGATORS: How the World's First Wildlife Forensics Lab is Solving Crimes and Saving Endangered Species. You can learn more about me via http://www.laurelneme.com. Would love to connect.
I can't believe you contacted me – I LOVE YOUR BOOK! It's sitting here right now! I have been interested in that lab for some time and bought your book a year ago to learn more about it. Right now I am in the process of getting a veterinary forensics program started at my grad school… so far, so good. We have a certificate program that is almost ready to be released. I'm excited because wildlife and vet forensics are important emerging fields that deserve more attention and will continue to increase in importance as laws change and awareness grows. I'd love to know more about you and how you started out and what you are currently working on!! And thank you for reading! I actually have a blog post in the works now about the lab and your book!
I came across your blog and would like some information about the veterinary forensic science programs you are developing. What school is the program at?? Will it be offered online or only on campus? Thank you for your help.
I am sending you an email – thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, there are many people out there who would love to turn what I do into food for lawsuits, so I am forced to maintain as much privacy in this blog as possible.
Sorry to leave an unrelated comment, but I couldn't find any contact information for you on the site. I wanted to ask if you might be interested in a guest post. Please drop me an e-mail!
Thanks for writing! Just sent you an email!
I stumbled across your blog in searching for photos. I'm making tshirts/merch/ etc. to raise money for the SPCA here in MD as well as a couple breed specific rescues and a reptile rescue.
I would love to use your Sherman photo – or some of the others I've seen.
If you would allow me to use your images, that would be great. I can give you more information.
Hi! I sent you an email! Thank you so much for showing enough respect to contact me to ask permission – that means a lot! But just wanted to make a note here for others who may be interested: please give proper credit when using someone's images. Everything on this site is copyrighted.
Thanks for contacting me! I just sent you a huge email!
I stumbled across your website in looking for more imformation.
I'm a vet student in Japan and interested in veterinary forensics.
There's no special institution of veterinary forensics in Japan.
Is there any chance I can contact with you?
Please check out the International Veterinary Forensic Sciences Association (www.ivfsa.org)!
They are a great group and have a conference coming up at the beginning of May – I highly recommend it and have met some great people there!
Also, the University of Florida is offering a certificate program in veterinary forensics, and you can take the courses online.
Feel free to reply here, or email me (animalcsi@gmail.com) if you have any other questions!!
and I'll take a good look at the course online from UF.
I'm only 16 but my life dream ever since I was 5 I knew that I wanted (needed) to help animals. I was thinking of a wildlife rehabilitator but I am rethinking my career to a Animal CSI.
You can always do both! Lots of people I know do many different things… veterinarian, CSI, lawyer, investigator. The more you know and the more skills you have, the better! Keep me posted on your plans!
Hello. My name is Victoria and I am currently applying to the Master's in Veterinary Forensics program at UF and I am contemplating pursuing the grad certificate in wildlife conservation and forensics as well after graduation. I was wondering if you could provide mw with some more information about the field of veterinary forensics and possible career opportunities. I graduated pre-vet in 2014 and was in the process of applying to vet school when I found out that I was having a beautiful baby girl. So needless to say my life has taken a slightly different path than I had planned. I am very excited about the new developments in the field and am curious as to the part that I can play. Thank you.
Hi Victoria – I just sent you an email!
Hi, I am a fourth year vet student in the states and am excited about an upcoming externship in the veterinary forensics dept of the ASPCA. I'm looking for more info on career possibilities in this field, particularly with regard to captive exotics who are the subject of abuse investigations. I'm also interested in learning more about international opportunities. I am considering applying to the masters program at UF after I graduate! I see from previous comments that you are willing to chat with people privately, which is so appreciated and such a clear indication of your passion for what you do. I'm wondering if you'd also be willing to provide me some thoughts on a career in the field? Thank you so much for such a great resource!!


Our proposal for the construction of the new Weilheim Station Bus Terminal and the redevelopment of the Railway Station Area aims to redefine the whole Station Area, providing a cohesive identity to all the transport infrastructures converging on the site, with a very minimal amount of resources.
The complex of the Railway and the new Bus Terminal and its associated structure is set to become the gate into Weilheim, and the surrounding fabric needs to be designed accordingly.
The area is now characterized by an incoherent set of buildings, which have been built over time without paying attention to the identity of the complex. The construction of new canopies for the Railway Platforms and the new Bus Terminal offer a unique opportunity to provide a consistent architectural identity to the complex as a whole.
One of the most important elements of the new identity is the Railway Platform Canopies, which have been already designed using Y-shaped portals and glass plates. Our proposal is to design a system of Y-shaped, transparent canopies able to wrap around the different pieces of the transportation complex to produce a single identity. We have devised a system of ETFE canopies which will allow not only to keep the canopies transparent for optimal daylighting, but also to minimize the cost, and most importantly, the density of columns.
With a technology using ETFE cushions of 3m x 20m, we have designed a structure of Y-shaped steel portals which is able to cover effectively the areas needed for the interface between the buses, the railway taxis and the bicycles, while enclosing the existing buildings in a consistent system, which will be able to provide an identity for the new Gate to Weilheim.
The proposal contemplates that the bus terminal will be located in the land north of the railway station. The Bus terminal will be organized as a loop as an extension north of Bahnhofplatz. Buses will drop off and pick-up on 5 docks on the station side and use the 5 additional docks on the Eastern side of Bahnhofplatz. The replacement buses will park facing the station entrance, on the Eastern side of Bahnhofstrasse. Alongside the station front we have located the taxi drop-offs.
The Eastern side of Bahnhofstrasse is proposed as a linear park with a leafy canopy of seasonal trees, while the Western side, facing the stations, will be provided with a continuous portico which will ensure a continuity of cover across the main transport modes: rail, bus, taxi and bicycles.
The canopy is the element that will provide unity to the whole complex. Made with steel box sections it is designed to allow for very large spans which will free the ground from structural elements. The height of the canopy ranges between 4,50 and 3,30 m ensuring an optimal protection from the rain. The ETFE cushions filling out the structure will provide lightness and transparency to the canopy, which is designed to wrap around the buildings, adjusting punctually its height in order to accommodate the geometrical specificity of the existing station. The ETFE cushions will be lit at night with LED Color Kinetics lamps which would allow the ETFE cushions to change color at will.
The canopy will extend to the South side of the station, where we are proposing a second phase of construction which will add some complementary program: bicycle parking for 400 slots, and a specialized cycle repair shop, but also 360 m2 of retail facilities, opening onto an East-facing public space which closes the new facilities on the south end.
The area will also be paved with grey natural stone which will be covering the whole area, including Bus Stops, railroad platforms, bicycle areas and taxi drop-offs. This continuity of the ground will contribute to the sense of coherence that we are after.
As a third phase to the development we believe there is a great potential to develop mixed-use functions close to the station. Further South along Bahnhofstrasse, when it turns towards Munchenerstrasse, we have located a pedestrian continuation to the Bahnhofstrasse which will allow only service access to the new mixed-use volumes that we are proposing to complete the railyard front, shielding the public space. The addition of these additional spaces close to the station will intensify the quality of services in the station and densify the population of the area.

The charges against a Sioux Falls man include third-degree burglary and felony possession of stolen property after police say he was caught with nearly a dozen stolen knives and other items early Monday.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says an officer saw a man running near a strip mall in the 3100 block of West 41st Street around 3:30 a.m., with merchandise in his hands.
He says the man ran into a wooded area nearby, where he was found by other officers. Clemens says he had a total of 11 knives and other property, with some of the knives carrying tags from Knife Works.
Management was called and Clemens says officers found that the store had been burglarized with a number of items taken.
Clemens says in addition to the other charges, 30-year-old Adam Scott Wardell of Sioux Falls was arrested for possession of burglary tools, fleeing, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.
He says the break-in was the third at Knife Works in the past two months, but police don't know if the same person was responsible for all three.

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park
Established in 1929 and named after an intrepid American explorer, the park is located Nine miles east of Crescent City on highway 199; on the Northeast coast of California.
The park protects 10,000 acres of redwood groves and lush undergrowth (all the better for hiding an Ewok rope and catapult).
Redwoods are the tallest trees on Earth but extensive logging is reducing the area to isolated patches along the coast. The park is bisected by the last free flowing river in California, the Smith River.

The Actual Ewok Village was built inside Studio 3 at Elstree and again matte paintings by skilled artist like Chris Evans were used for wider shots.
Miniature AT-ST's were shot at ILM and set-up in different ways to show how the wily Ewoks would dispatch them using only the materials around them.
Some pick-ups were done at the Ranch with Mark Hamill and some Ewoks. The last second unit pick-up was for the bonfire scene.

Inspired by and learning from the Clampology project, the clamp principle has moved to another scale: a clamp-on table leg. The legs are a more compact alternative to trestles. The legs come as an individual set of four legs to match any surface.

Hi Joshua! Thanks so much for talking with us. Can you tell us about your background?
Born and Raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, I began theatre as early as the fifth grade. We performed Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing;" I played Leonardo. Looking back, being introduced to the brilliance of William Shakespeare at such a young age was one of the best theatre beginnings I could have had. Language and text came very quickly to me. I was invited along with our cast for one of the most magical nights I've ever experienced at the theatre. I saw the annual "Nutcracker" at the Stevens Center and I knew then – even as early as the fifth grade – that I was born to be on stage, not knowingly to what capacity, but I knew there would be a spotlight. Then I saw The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, that's when I knew that capacity would start with DANCE, and to this day dance is still my first love. I just needed to "Find My Light." (Theatre-goers will get that one.) I began my formal training at Howard University, earning at B.F.A in Musical Theater with a concentration in Dance, although I credit my growth as a performer to moving to New York City.
What's been your favorite role to play thus far in your career and why?
I would have to say "Richie" from A CHORUS LINE. Richie had the biggest story and the brightest smile. Being able to dance and sing at the same time was an exhilarating challenge and to have the opportunity to tell his story every night was amazing. I can totally relate to being the only person of color in a room full of hungry dancers. Nobody looks like you, nobody sounds like you, and nobody shares any of your stories. Then what do you do? You let it fuel you to be the very best you can be. Then later you realize we are more alike than not. I also know what its like to be the only person of color in a cast; I've been the "token" on many occasions. Richie's story was literally my story. I started playing sports very young, acquiring my robust athleticism that most contemporary choreographers look for. I attribute a lot to Richie. Next up, anything from IN THE HEIGHTS. Although I was in the ensemble, any role in that show is worth it all. I understand the story of wanting to forsake all, find new, and start afresh.
Being on the road seems exciting but probably also exhausting. Any interesting things that you've been able to do while traveling?
The life of a traveling dancer can be considered an extraordinary life. From the jet-setting to the occasional shopping. . . I still pinch myself asking if its real. However, it can be quite taxing on the body. In theatre you get one day off a week, which is Monday . . . however on tour that's usually your travel day. Our travel day here to Cincinnati began at 7:00AM. The very next day we were on the stage again starting our 8 show week. So I mostly look forward to relaxing, and being alone to catch up on my blogging.
Joshua Keith and one of his hats.
Anything you plan to do while you're here in Cincinnati?
I have two things I'm looking forward to during my two-week stay here in Cincinnati beginning with Graeter's Ice Cream. I've heard nothing but amazing reviews about their ice cream and it was recommended by a friend here. Oh! There's a hat store across the street from the theater i'd like to check out. I love a good hat.
Being in a show that features so much dancing, how do you keep yourself in shape and healthy night after night?
Well I have a weekly 6-day workout regiment that I stick to. I HIT THAT GYM but even more importantly I sign up for every physical therapy spot I can with the tour, especially because they are free. I weight train to keep me strong to lift our beautiful ladies in the show, but I also enjoy weekly cardio (including the show). Most importantly YOGA! It will not only change your life, but it will add longevity to your career as a dancer. It also quiets the mind.
How can people find out more about you and what you're all about?
You can see Joshua in DIRTY DANCING through October 5th at the Aronoff Center in downtown Cincinnati. Click here for tickets and more information.


so, last saturday when adam had to spend the whole day in the office, we had just finished breakfast - i stood looking out of the window from his office in soho watching some guy practice the saxophone see below and said "but what am i supposed to do all day all on my own?"
i call this one "pigeon snoozing"
so i did, i walked to regents park. i've been there before but never just to wander around on my own. i took my big camera and just spent time photographing. i don't have photoshop on my computer, yet, so these are pretty much just the real deal.
then they got down to some tribal dancing - these girls are nuts.
pep and florianne on their new houseboat. it's so amazing inside.
maybe next time i'll get some pictures. they also have a cat.
some other houseboats in the neighbourhood.
it would still be pretty amazing.
i think i definitely completed my mission of seeing a different side of london. i certainly went places i had never been before.


Only six players over 40 years old are current members of the '2700 club' — with Topalov almost inactive — and two of them are still battling with the very best. Viswanathan Anand, the highest rated player in this group, will actually turn 50 this year and, with his victory over 43-year-old Vladimir Kramnik, he proved that he is still capable of fighting for first place at any elite event in the world.
After beating Vladimir, he was quizzed on his knowledge about their personal record and accurately estimated the number of games they played in all formats — Vishy answered "edging two hundred", when the exact amount of times they faced each other throughout their brilliant careers is 198. Anand also remembered that their face-to-face in classical chess is now tied at eleven, and added a curious detail: the score was tied at ten until Kramnik beat him last year in Wijk aan Zee, exactly in round seven!
In the game, an Italian Opening was developing rather normally until Big Vlad remained loyal to his principle of enjoying chess as much as possible and played a move that would later provoke Vishy to declare, "Today it was just insane..."
I was also very groggy today. Maybe I didn't expect such a position, because I was preparing for some other kind of struggle. I was also not able to find my feet, but I'm just happy in the end it worked well.
Our impression was that we played it quite badly, that there [were] just too many mistakes.
The quickest game to finish on Saturday was Giri versus Ding Liren — they played 29 moves before signing the draw. Therefore, Ian Nepomniachtchi and Magnus Carlsen received a chance to overtake their rivals in the standings with a win. 'Nepo' was a pawn up against Jan-Krzysztof Duda but could never find a way to break through in an endgame with a completely closed pawn structure. Meanwhile, Carlsen was actually in trouble against Vladimir Fedoseev.
After showing great preparation in the opening — he knew that Carlsen's 13...b5 was a bad move — Fedoseev thought that his best chance was to go into a rook endgame with two versus one on the kingside, as he remembered that "some good players are losing this position quite easily". Nonetheless, Magnus showed his usual tenacity and held the ending after taking advantage of some inaccuracies by his opponent.
Bologan's way to the Nimzo-Indian was very long and difficult, but now the Moldavian grandmaster recommends the Nimzo-Indian to players of all levels because it's complex and simple at the same time.
Black is a piece up but White's attack is already hard to hold back. However, the computer shows that here 19...Nh5 was better than Vidit's 19...Ne8?! — the idea is that after 20.Bxg7, Black can play 20...Bg3 and White cannot take back the material with 20.fxg3? as it closes off the all-important g-file. After the game continuation, though, Radjabov went on to convert his advantage in 36 moves.
Sam Shankland had a bad experience on the first "chess on tour" round, as he suffered a painful loss against Ding Liren at the Theatre De Vest in Alkmaar. Two days later, though, he bounced back to 50% with a 52-move win over Jorden van Foreest. The young Dutchman is not holding back against elite opposition — he has not drawn a single game so far!
While +2 is enough to share the lead in the Masters, two players are now tied atop the standings of the Challengers on +3. Vladislav Kovalev signed a quick draw against Evgeny Bareev and finished his three-game winning streak, while Maksim Chigaev caught up with him by beating Elisabeth Paehtz from a 'good knight' versus 'bad bishop' endgame.
After both sections started with the black players collecting most of the wins, round seven in the Challengers saw the four decisive games favouring White. 16-year-old Andrey Esipenko defeated first seed Anton Korobov; Benjamin Gledura got the best of Vincent Keymer; and young Praggnanandhaa got his first win of the event against tail-ender Stefan Kuipers.

WHO DG's opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 – 11 January 2021
by MacMasud with No Comment Coronavirus
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
One year ago, the first death from COVID-19 was reported and WHO issued its first tranche of technical guidance.
The comprehensive package included guidance on surveillance, lab testing, infection prevention and control, a readiness checklist, and risk communication and community engagement.
A year on, there have been almost 2 million deaths from the COVID-19 virus and while we are hopeful about the safe and effective vaccines that are being rolled out, we want to see this sped up and vaccines allocated equitably in the coming weeks.
Next week at the WHO Executive Board, I will be encouraging all countries to fulfill their pledges to COVAX.
I call for a collective commitment so that within the next 100 days, vaccination for health workers and those at high-risk in all countries are underway.
Governments, manufacturers, civil society, religious and community leaders must come together to create the greatest mass mobilization in history for equitable vaccination.
WHO continues to ask vaccine manufacturers from around the world to move swiftly to provide the necessary data that will allow us to consider them for emergency use listings.
I'm pleased that a WHO team is in China currently working with producers of the Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines to assess compliance with international quality manufacturing practices ahead of potential emergency use listing by WHO.
To clarify this is separate from the WHO origins mission.
We also look forward to Serum Institute of India submitting full data sets for rapid assessment so WHO can determine whether we can recommend their AstraZeneca vaccine for international use.
These are just a couple examples of work under way by WHO, GAVI, CEPI and other partners aimed at safe, rapid, equitable and wise allocation of vaccines.
As I have said before and will say again, saving lives, livelihoods and economies depends on a global agreement to avoid vaccine nationalism.
Over the weekend, WHO was notified by Japan about a new variant of the virus.
The more the virus spreads the higher the chance of new changes to the virus.
Most notably, transmissibility of some variants of the virus appears to be increasing.
This can drive a surge of cases and hospitalizations, which is highly problematic for health workers and hospitals already close to breaking point.
This is especially true where public health and social measures have already broken down.
This can have a knock-on effect on other essential health services. At present, the variants do not seem to show increased severity of disease. With new treatments coming down the pipeline, we are hopeful that more lives of those with serious cases of COVID-19 can be saved.
But we need to follow the public health basics now more than ever.
Keep as much physical distance as you can from other people. Keep rooms well-ventilated. Wear a mask. Keep your hands clean. And cough away from others into your elbow.
You might get fed up of hearing it but the virus is not fed up with us.
Limiting transmission limits the chance of dangerous new variants from developing.
What's most critical is that we sequence the virus effectively so we know how it's changing and how to respond.
For example, while diagnostics and vaccines still seem to be effective against the current virus, we may need to tweak them in the future.
Last week, WHO released a comprehensive implementation guide and risk-monitoring framework to help countries set up high-impact sequencing programmes.
We call on all countries to increase the sequencing of the virus to supplement ongoing surveillance, monitoring and testing efforts.
And to share that data internationally. This helps us better understand when variants of concern are identified.
We are aware that sequencing requires specialized equipment, a trained workforce and close collaboration between experts.
Building upon our existing lab networks, WHO is working with countries to enhance sequencing capacity and we extend our support to all countries who need it.
We achieve much of this through our international network of labs for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza flu lab network, both of which have been a beacon of science, solutions and solidarity in the last year.
Tomorrow, WHO's R&D Blueprint group is convening scientists from around the world to set global research priorities for the year ahead, including on virus variants and sequencing.
This builds on a years worth of work defining and delivering on an R&D roadmap for COVID-19.
Just as we look forward on research and rolling out vaccines, we continue work on the origins.
We are pleased that an international team of scientists – distinguished experts from ten institutions and countries – are commencing their travel to China to engage in and review scientific research with their Chinese counterparts on the origins of the virus.
I want to thank all GOARN partners and the countries supporting this mission.
This includes Australia, Denmark, Germany, Kenya, Japan, Netherlands, Qatar, Russia, Sudan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Vietnam, and our colleagues from China.
Studies will begin in Wuhan to identify the potential source of infection of the early cases.
Scientific evidence will drive hypotheses, which will then be the basis for further, longer-term studies.
This is important not just for COVID-19 but for the future of global health security and to manage emerging disease threats with pandemic potential.
We will share more news as we have it but let's give this team of scientists the space to work with their Chinese counterparts effectively and let's wish them all well. I thank you.

Greens demand fairness for city centre terrace dwellers
The Lib Dem administration has rejected a request by some residents of the city centre to be treated equally with regard to on-street parking. These people do not live in new apartment blocks, which usually have basement car parks and planning permission which specifically disallows residents from applying for on-street parking permits. The majority of petitioners whom we supported to take their case to Full Council and Cabinet meetings came from the small amount of mostly council-owned terrace housing which remains around Hawley Street and Townhead Street. This housing predates the boom in city living and includes very long term tenants and residents, many of them on low incomes.
It is difficult to understand this decision by a Lib Dem council which claims that everyone matters, that all areas should be treated equally and that even wealthy areas include pockets of deprivation. Why should the owners of a large house in Broomhill have the price of their parking permit cut to £10 a year, but council tenants inside the ring road still have to pay £100 a year?

I have been puzzling over a script I have to write and run in an Arc toolbox and I wondered if anyone could tell me where I'm going wrong.
The following code relates to a rivers shapefile called Rio_Panuco in a geodatabase called panuco.gdb. There is a field in the shape file called "type" and the attribute I want to select is "link".
I have written the following code to do this (and variations galore!) but still cannot get it to work properly. I've also put the code in ArcToolbox but when the Select Layer By Attribute box is clicked it is blank. I would be grateful for any advice.
whereClause = '"' str(typeField) + " = '" + str(confluence) + "'"
Why are you using a cursor?
Here is a better example of string substitution creating a query string.
Thanks mzcoyle for replying to my thread.
I am also not sure why I was using a cursor - I thought I needed this to search through the fieldname (called type) for rivertypes (called link). I'm new to scripting and all I want to do is create an Arc tool based on arcpy scripting that lets a user navigate to the feature class (Rio_Panuco) and lets them select "type" = 'link' (fieldname = attribute) and saves the feature to a new layer.
I've noticed that the select by attributes tool required a layer as input and not a dataset so I couldn't get that to work and I tried basic make feature layer commands. I can make a feature layer from a feature class using user input but I cannot select only fields whose type = link and then save it to a new layer.
I would appreciate any further help or suggestions on this.
This line looks like the problem, just delete it.
Also you can accomplish what you want to do with one tool, Select.
Thanks again Matthew for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm still having problems.
Firstly, I removed the 'path is workspace' line but it made no difference.
I decided to try your Select_analysis suggestion but I can't seem to get the Where_clause running correctly.
I'd be grateful for any advice on this as I've been trying to create this layer for days now to no avail!
Oh yes you need to have your whereclause after your typeField parameter assignment.

Supplier of High Quality Fire Glass
Letterkenny Road Stranorlar – Services Nationwide
Donegal Glass and Glazing manufacturing – we produce and fit any type of fire glass that can withstand the fire test and therefore resist passage of smoke, flames and hot gases, is considered "fire-resistant glass". These glasses that we manufacture can then further be categorised and rated according to special criteria. Typically, the rating is based on how long a particular type and size of glass will withstand fire.
Our classifications range from 30 minutes up to 3 hours.
We can advice that ordinary flat glass cannot withstand extreme temperatures, and breaks at around 120°C. Fire-resistant glass must be able to withstand 870°C for a selected period of time and remain in its frame. Testing can include using water to rapidly cool the hot glass to test its ability to withstand thermal change. The purpose of this test is to test a real situation in which water from a sprinkler system shatters glass intended to function as a barrier, and thus permits smoke and fire to spread and escalate to the next level.
The three most important factors in connection with the choice of fire-protection glass are:
Type of protection (class E – and class EI)
Duration of protection (e.g. 15, 30 or 60 minutes)
Frame construction to be used (wood, aluminium or steel)
Class E involves protection against smoke and flames while class EI also offers protection against fires spreading heat radiation.
Integrity is described as the ability of glass to contain the spread of flame and smoke and prevents collapse, holes and cracks or sustained flaming on the unexposed side for a set time.
Insulation blocks the passage of radiated heat and surface heat rise to an average of 140°C for a set time. In stairwells, evacuation routes in large office buildings, hospitals, shopping centers and other heat-sensitive areas, extremely high temperatures transferring through the glass can be just as devastating as the fire itself.
Give us a call for your requirement.

Zoran Mušič is one of the most celebrated Slovenian artists, born close to Goriza, who lived and worked in numerous places. He was influenced by many cultures from his early childhood such as Slavic, Italian and Germanic culture. Later on in his life he drew inspiration from French influences. He finished his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1935, and shortly after that he moved to Spain. From Spain he moved back to Slovenia, where he lived until 1943 and then moved to Venice. It was World War II that changed his life and influenced his art. Mušič was arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, and deported to Dachau, where he spent a year. There he made a series of drawings, which were an extraordinary documentation depicting the extremely difficult circumstances of life in the camp. These drawings inspired one of the most famous of his series of oil paintings and graphic prints, titled "We are not the Last" which he made in the 1970s. After Mušič was released from Dachau, he moved back to Venice, where he also held his first solo exhibition in 1946. Later, in 1950, his first prize was also won in Venice, at the Biennale di Venezia. In 1952 he moves to Paris with his wife Ida. Nevertheless he kept his studio in Venice where he continued to work on different themes such as the Dalmatian and Italian landscapes, moving away from the laws of three-dimensionality and becoming more abstract. Nevertheless he often returned to his origins as a figurative artist, and his awful experience in Dachau. Mušič depicted the earth colored Averau from a distance, the highest mountain of the Nuvolau Group in the Dolomites, northeastern Italy.

First off I 'd like to thank Vanessa for having me over for a little virtual chat on her porch!
I had to think to myself, if I were in the south sitting on Vanessa's porch, sipping mint juleps with her, what would little old me talk about?
I'm sure the subject of sewing would come up because that's how Vanessa and I met, both of us being sewing bloggers.
I grew up in Los Angeles in the eighties. Sewing classes had been taken out of the public schools so I didn't have the opportunity to learn at school like the generation just before me did. My mom did have an old Kenmore that she bought at Sears to make some living room curtains with, but I don't remember her sewing much else, after those curtains were done.
At 14, I wanted to try making a skirt like I had seen Madonna, my teen idol wearing, so I got out Mom's sewing machine an old pillow case while my mom was at work, and I went to work. I ended up jamming up the sewing machine pretty badly, and put it away before my mom would find out.
I forgot all about my sewing ambitions until I decided to take a sewing class at the local community college four years later. We spent the whole semester making a straight skirt in the class with an interfaced separate waistband, a zipper, and a back vent. I was so proud of myself, but the fabric I chose was too stiff so I didn't wear it much.
At 20, I went to Florence, Italy for a semester to study Italian. While there, I decided I wanted to be a fashion designer! So I went back to the states, applied to FIDM in Los Angeles and was accepted based on my sketches. Fashion design school was difficult for me because my limited sewing skills made it almost impossible to realize the ambitious designs I was sketching. Surprisingly, when I applied to design school they asked to see my sketches only, not actual garments. Many of the students in design school were in the same boat as me and could barely sew when they started, but after two years we had gotten much better, although I still had trouble with zippers and you can forget about buttonholes!
So now I will flash forward almost twenty years... I had met my future husband while I was still a student, gotten married in a whirlwind, and had become a stay at home mom, indefinitely putting my career on hold. I was pregnant with my fourth child and had long since stopped sewing anything besides Halloween costumes, curtains, and pillows. We also had recently moved to the country from Los Angeles. I felt isolated and needed a creative outlet.
Suddenly I was seized with an urge to start making clothes again. Maybe my nesting instinct had gone haywire?! I started sewing simple things, like baby dresses and bibs.
I started my blog Sew Country Chick soon after that in July of 2010 and I haven't stopped sewing since. I am happy to say that say I love what I am doing now. It's such a blessing to have this great community of other sewists to share projects with and learn from. Anything you should want to learn about sewing and design is now available with a mouse click. It really is amazing! Blogging has also created other opportunities, like costume design jobs, teaching and speaking opportunities. And hopefully I will have some of my own pattern designs to release this summer. You see, it's never to late to figure out what it is you love to do!
Thanks for having me Vanessa, and although I missed hanging out on your porch for real, at least I didn't get any mosquito bites! Stop by my blog Sew Country Chick sometime for a visit!
Aw, thanks Justine! I love hearing all about your journey to sewing and YES, I am positive we would have chatted about that! You are such an inspiration to keep learning! Thanks for coming and being a part of this little series! You are awesome!
See more of Justine at Sew Country Chick!


Home/Green Living/Shed Building 101 Review – Is the Shed Building Plans a Scam?
So you've seen the Shed Building 101 advertisements, articles on the internet and you've even visited their main web site at www.shedbuilding101.com, but is Shed Building 101 a scam?
If you have never bought anything from the web before, it is understandable that you feel a bit apprehensive when buying anything online.
Just like the name suggests, the Shed Building 101 package consist of 41 Do It Yourself (DIY) wooden shed construction plans. Examples of the shed blueprints are Cabana, Pool House, Shop, Backyard Studio, Mini Barn etc.
But why would you want to build your own shed for your backyard? One of the key reasons is to save cost. If you were to engage the service of a professional contractor, even a relatively small wooden shed will cost you a few thousand dollars due to high material and man power cost.
If you are good with hand tools and you have some woodworking skills, why not build the shed on your own. You will save a lot of money if you were to buy your own lumber and construct the shed via a DIY approach.
With the help from a couple of your friends and neighbors, you can complete the entire shed in a day or two. What you need right now is a good shed building blueprint. That is exactly what Shed Building 101 will give you.
If you are planning to buy Shed Building 101, all the plans will be delivered to you immediate through the internet. The plans are all in digital PDF files format and can be easily read using the Adobe Acrobat reader which is free to download.
When you've downloaded the plans into your computer, you can now print them out as many times as you like. You don't have to worry about having your building plans ripped, torn or lost. All you have to do is open the PDF file and print out another copy.

Elvis - Next Stop Fayetteville 3 CD
Graceland Records label managed once again a rare momentum. This time it's not just one show, but 3 complete and previously unreleased concerts. They were not available in any form - until now! Rumours lingered about only a few songs he sang on the 3th of August 1976, but nobody heard it since that day. NOTHING was known about these 3 concerts, no recorded evidence, no track listings available, too. Just rumours. These 3 concerts are definitively rare and also very good, for the hot summer of 1976!
Elvis - Hot Shots And Cool Clips Vol. 7 DVD
JAT have released Vol. 7 of this series, with the making of It Happened At The Worlds Fair. Rare footage and behind the scenes.
Elvis - Bright Lights Big City 1 CD
The new Straight Arrow CD BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY, featuring the Las Vegas, February 20th, 1973 Dinner show. This recording is taken directly from an original Rex Martins booth recorded mastertape. This show is another completely new concert recording, even for die-hard Elvis fans. It has never been in circulation - in any form, and the sound quality is exceptionally good!
Elvis 1971 - Solid As Rock 2 CD
The new Straight Arrow CD SOLID AS ROCK, featuring the Las Vegas Dinner and Midnight Show from August 27th, 1971. This recording is taken directly from an original Rex Martins booth recorded mastertape. The Dinner Show show is another completely new concert recording, even for die-hard Elvis fans. It has never been in circulation - in any form, and the sound quality is good!
Elvis - If I Can Dream 1 CD
Elvis Presley With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra! The remarkable new album features classic Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment, along with a duet with Michael Buble and appearances by Il Volo and Duane Eddy.
Elvis - City Of Angels 2 CD
This release consists two CDs, featuring both shows which Elvis performed on May 11th, 1974 at The Forum (Inglewood) in Los Angeles, CA. Compared with its previous release, the evening show is vastly superior in sound. It was not taken from the same compact cassette source you have heard on the FTD soundboard release 'Live In L. A.', but comes from an original reel-to-reel soundboard tape transfer. The sound difference is like night & day. The afternoon show has much improved sound too.
Elvis - Doin The Best I Can 2 CD
From Straight Arrow is this 2 CD set featuring two shows recorded on February 16. 1973 D/S and the M/S is a completely new show, even for die-hard Elvis fans. It has never been in circulation - in any form! These tapes were rediscovered recently and we believe that you will agree with us that this is another great find. A real must - not just for the hardcore collector. Another quality Straight Arrow release!
Elvis - Almost Done Folks 2 CD
2 CD-Set featuring the September 1, 1973 Las Vegas D/S and M/S previously unreleased shows in topnotch audience recorded quality. Since Presley Senior was in the audience, Elvis sang one of his father's favourite songs, 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face'. The grand finale of both concerts was powerhouse 'How Great Thou Art' - with reprised ending.

Elvis - One Week In August 1972 - 2 CD
The first CD features the opening show of August 4, 1972 recorded from the audience and in great quality for such recordings, certainly one of the best sounding audience from that year. The second CD features the show of August12, 1972 M.S. in excellent quality and recorded from the soundboard.

Elvis - Big Boss Man - 1 DVD
Elvis - Meet Me At Del Webbs Sahara Tahoe 1 CD
Straight Arrow's single-digipack release - Meet Me At Del Webb's Sahara Tahoe featuring May 26th, 1974 Midnight show. The show on this release is a real audience pleaser, as he flirts with the girls on the frontrow and sings all the 1974 show favorites with verve. This is a rather good audience recording that gives you a frontrow perspective of this delightful performance.
Elvis - Adios Lincoln 1 CD
The June 20, 1977 show was first issued on CD in 2004 (Elvis Rocks Lincoln). That sloppy edition was taken from an incomplete source, missing 17 minutes.

Elvis - Left A Good Job In The City 1 CD - Elvis First Show At Madison Square Garden
Elvis' First Show In New York, June 9, 1972. We couldn't believe our luck when we were offered an original tape as recorded by a member of the audience that special night. For many years there was a recording in circulation that was basically unlistenable. With great anticipation we purchased this new tape, and imagine our excitement when we could hear for ourselves that this tape is indeed much better and clearer, and with a good bass definition. This must be the most historically important audience tape to have turned up in recent years from the concert years. The MSG Garden shows were a true career highlight for Elvis, and opening night on June 9, 1972 was The Night. THIS is the show that the New York media all attended; and now, after 40 years, you can finally hear in good quality.
Elvis - A New Decade A New Sound - 2 CD

Crystal Connor – Multimedia Guest of Honor
I am an award-winning Master Imaginationist. I work for the Department of Sleep Prevention as the Chief Operating Officer for the Bad Dreams & Nightmare Division. I also moonlight as photographer for Instagram. Or in layman's terms I write horror and take tons of selfies. I am a Washington State native, and I love everything to do with monsters, bad guys (as in evil-geniuses & super-villains. Not those kind my mother warned me about), rogue scientific experiments, jewelry, sky-high high-heeled shoes & unreasonably priced handbags. When I'm not terrorizing my readers or racking up frequent flyers miles by gallivanting all over the country attending fan conventions and writer's conferences I review indie horror and science fiction films for both my personal blog and HorrorAddicts.net and judge horror films for the Seattle Crypticon and the Bleedingham film festivals.

Bushmama Africa – Artist Guest of Honor
I chose this name in 1996 after deciding that I wanted my name to personify something outside of my self, something natural, something connected to the source of life. Since everything we need medicinally comes from the bush I wanted to be associated with health and healing. My belief is a mama is the essence of Goddess work therefore I had to claim that. Africa was added in 2003 after learning about the Africa Family with the film" Move". I joined solidarity with the family after screening "Move" for The Oakland Hip Hop Film Festival that I created with Kevin Epps. Meeting Romona Africa changed my life. It was Romona who helped me see how after 400yrs our government continues to prey on Black People who want true liberation and freedom. The name Bushmama Africa has followed me into theaters and venues all over the bay area where I've hosted or produced or performed. I continue to perform but this page is dedicate to my art work.

Global Cancer Research Database Reveals What You Can Do To Lower Your Risk
Daniel Pendick, Executive Editor, Harvard Men's Health Watch
By the year 2030, the number of people diagnosed annually with cancer worldwide could reach 21 million. This week, the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) is meeting in Montreal to discuss how to diminish the rising tide of cancer.
The long-term solution, experts think, lies in another startling statistic: that 40% of cancers stem from factors that we can control.
At the meeting, the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund International (AICR/WCRF) rolled out the latest update to the world's largest central database of research on how lifestyle choices influence the risk of cancer. Key causes of "preventable" cancer include unhealthy diets, lack of exercise, being overweight, alcohol and tobacco, and not taking full advantage of preventive vaccinations and screenings.
"The fact is that changes in our lifestyle can powerfully protect us against cancer," says Dr. Anthony Komaroff, editor in chief of the Harvard Health Letter and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. "In fact, we can do more to protect ourselves against cancer than our doctors can do for us."
Unfortunately, even the healthiest lifestyle won't immunize you against cancer. "Age and genetics outweigh many of these risk factors," says Dr. William Kormos, editor in chief of Harvard Men's Health Watch and a primary care physician at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.
For example, having a first-degree relative—a parent or sibling—with colon or prostate cancer could double your risk. At the same time, the healthier your choices, the more benefit you are likely to gain.
"What science needs to do now is figure out how these lifestyle factors influence the risk of cancer," Dr. Komaroff says. "What are the changes in body chemistry caused by these lifestyle factors that influence the development of cancer? If we can figure that out, we might identify targets for new anti-cancer drugs."
In all the hopeful discussion of lifestyle's role in cancer, it is important to remember that millions of people are newly diagnosed every year. For them, the mere mention of "preventable cancer" can feel like an indictment.
"Someone who has unfortunately developed cancer, and who may have had an unhealthy lifestyle, can feel that they are being blamed," Dr. Komaroff says. "It's bad enough to learn you have cancer, particularly if it is of a kind that is likely to end your life prematurely. To add guilt on top of that is just adding to the suffering."
But the lesson from Montreal is not about laying blame, but creating hope. Taking the best care of your body as you can is still the cheapest and one of the most effective ways to save the lives of people not yet in the grip of cancer.
