The Global Justice Clinic (GJC) has a long history of solidarity with Haitian social justice and civil society organizations. Our most recent collaboration—focused on rights threatened by Haiti's nascent gold mining industry—started in 2013. The GJC began collaborating with Kolektif Jistis Min (Justice in Mining Collective, KJM), a platform of Haitian social movement organizations, to build the power of communities affected by mining and to hold international actors who are promoting the industry to account. GJC continues to work with KJM member organizations to support rural community members to know their rights, access information, collect relevant evidence, and to monitor human rights violations.
Our work in Haiti is about rejecting extractivism—in foreign policy, in development, and, importantly, in research methods. In the past few years the GJC has increasingly done public-facing (for example, this letter) and closed-door political solidarity work to support the movement for democracy and justice in Haiti. Through long-term partnerships, the Global Justice Clinic aims to support communities, social movements, and Haitian organizations in their pursuits of self-determination.
International Actor Accountability
American and Canadian companies hold mining permits in Haiti, and international financial institutions (IFIs) have encouraged the development of the mining sector. The GJC works in solidarity with communities in Haiti who are resisting—and saying NO to mining. At the end of 2015, the GJC published a report, Byen Konte, Mal Kalkile: Human Rights and Environmental Risks of Gold Mining in Haiti, that presents communities' experiences with gold exploration, and rights violations to date. In partnership with communities that sit within mining permits, the GJC filed a complaint before the Inspection Panel of the World Bank about the Bank's effort to pass new mining legislation in Haiti. The GJC has also engaged UN mechanisms and held a hearing on the right to information before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Currently, the GJC is building a campaign website to discourage investment into Haiti's mining industry.
Community-Owned Data
GJC, KJM, and community organizations collect evidence and generate data to promote community interests. With the support of scientists, GJC conducted a participatory baseline study on the right to water in communities that sit within a mining permit in the North of Haiti. To our knowledge, this is the first time that community members have held baseline data on water conditions prior to the construction of a mine anywhere in the world. The GJC is working with community members to use the data in advocacy to resist the construction of a mine in the area. In addition, GJC is working with a coalition of organizations fighting land grabs to explore how community map-making may support their right to land.
Popular Education and Legal Empowerment
GJC collaborates with partners in Haiti to create popular education and legal empowerment materials about the potential impacts of gold mining and the human rights protections relevant to those risks. The campaign website that GJC is building will be home to popular education materials, and a resource for organizers and community members in Haiti. The GJC has also helped to facilitate a number of exchanges with other mining-affected communities in the Global South.
Solidarity with Human Rights Defenders
GJC partners have been targeted for their activism as human rights defenders. The GJC works closely with Haitian colleagues to bring international attention to their cases—when colleagues believe that such attention operates to protect them—and to accompany them in seeking financial support that will enable them to better protect themselves. GJC engages with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the United Nations in efforts to demand that the Government of Haiti protects human rights defenders.
Political Solidarity
The Global Justice Clinic amplifies messages from human rights and social justice organizations in Haiti, and demands the U.S. government, United Nations, and other international actors to listen to Haitian civil society. To encourage more just and informed policies towards Haiti, GJC staff testify before Congress, participate in high level political meetings, speak on the radio, conduct trainings, and release statements of solidarity (examples below).
Haitian Immigrant Rights
The Global Justice Clinic works, too, to advance the rights of Haitians outside of Haiti: Haitian immigrants. Impacted by anti-Black racism, xenophobia and language barriers, Haitian immigrants are marginalized in destination countries throughout the Western Hemisphere. GJC partners with immigrant rights' organizations supporting Haitians to expose injustices and combat marginalization. In 2017, GJC published a report arguing for an extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. GJC staff have contributed to the legal efforts to preserve TPS for Haiti, participated in the successful advocacy effort to encourage the Biden administration to redesignate Haiti for TPS, and conducted trainings for attorneys to better serve members of the Haitian community as they apply and reapply for TPS.
In 2020, GJC partnered with Haitian Bridge Alliance, the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, and Fried Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, to prepare FOIA requests to divulge records related to continued U.S. deportations to Haiti during the COVID-19 pandemic. GJC is committed to shedding light on state-sanctioned abuses and mistreatment of Haitian immigrants in the United States and throughout the hemisphere.

The snow is mostly gone, and our interns are getting closer to the end of their 2019 accounting internship experience. Today we look into what value they have seen from their internship.
Kathryn F. is finishing her senior year at Augsburg University. Experiencing public accounting firsthand, learning how to apply concepts learned in school to real-life situations, and the Redpath culture and environment are things that stand out to her about the experience. It has really confirmed that accounting is the right career for her.
"I really enjoy working in tax and learning how different it is in regards to what everyone else thinks we do. Everyone here has been so nice and helpful throughout the whole internship. I never felt judged for having many things to learn and asking questions about them. I understand now how much work goes into the process of one return and it feels really good to finish one and route it to the reviewer! I also see how much we learn on the job and how important it is to get this practical experience before we start our careers.
Zachary T. is currently a junior in his third year at the University of North Dakota. His highlights of the experience include the processes for learning new things at the firm and familiarizing himself with what the career path of an accountant can look like.
Brandon S. is currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, and says that the biggest highlight for him is the opportunity to come in each day and learn something new, whether it's a new regulation or a shortcut to work more efficiently.
Through the internship, Brandon has developed a greater understanding of not-for-profits and governmental entities, including the regulations they must follow. He enjoys thinking through how to communicate; questions need to be worded in a way the client will understand when the team visits them.
Alec W. is currently a senior at North Dakota State University, where he is on pace to complete not only his Bachelor's but also a Master of Accountancy degree.
He is grateful for all the people he has met, from tax seniors to fellow interns. Redpath has a social event on Fridays, which can be nice because every employee gets the chance to talk to other people about not only accounting but also non-accounting subjects.
"This has been my first job at a public accounting firm, and it has helped me gain a better understanding of various accounting software, and also the differences between business and personal tax.
I didn't expect to have as much partner interaction as I have had. They've been very accessible, and I've had the opportunity to get to know then while working through tax returns and other projects.
Aaron D. recently graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He has enjoyed getting to know the processes employed by tax professionals and enjoys the social events Redpath makes available.
"Through the internship, I've learned how the definition of a single word can have many different meanings within the tax code.
Roan M. is a senior who will soon graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. He enjoys that there are so many different personalities and talents within Redpath and Company—something that he experiences every day.
"I've learned much more during this internship than I thought possible on day one. My understanding of both business and personal tax has skyrocketed over the last few weeks.
Nicole K. is currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. She has enjoyed learning about how companies operate and what auditing truly entails.
"I've learned something new every day, and at this point, everything makes way more sense than when I started. I like that I can see how I've progressed and feel more knowledgeable about what I'm doing—and why we do things that way. The internship has given me a much better understanding of how much goes into an audit and the processes we use to complete one.
Jacob B. is currently a senior at the University of Saint Thomas and will graduate later this year. He has found his coworkers to be incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the transition process from college to public accounting.
"Prior to the internship, it was more difficult to see the connection between what we were learning in class and how it would actually serve me in the future—but after spending a busy season here it is much easier to see how it all fits together!
I think the most surprising part has been the people and how well I have gotten to know everyone in my short time here. Everyone has just been extremely great to work with and get to know better.
Kerstin B. recently graduated from Concordia University, St. Paul. She says that it has been a real highlight to meet everyone and work for a company that actually walks the walk when they say that you can ask questions. The firm wants you to ask questions because it is important that employees continually learn and grow.
"Redpath really embraces continual learning. I think that's really cool and highly respectable! You can't fully understand what something like an internship will be like until you start it. So ultimately, I had no idea what the programs and processes were going to be like, the ratio of business to personal returns, how they get assigned, what the schedule and hours were going to feel like, etc.
I was expecting a high stress environment, but that's not what I experienced. Everyone at the White Bear Lake office seems just as relaxed, pleasant, and welcoming as the first day we started.
Payton S. is a junior at the University of Saint John's. He has enjoyed the fact that the type and amount of work and daily atmosphere around the office were comparable to what he saw here at his summer experience at Redpath.
"With this being my first public accounting internship there was a lot to absorb, but I think the level of work picked up appropriately as the weeks went on.
Are you interested in getting a feel for what it's like to work in public accounting? It's not too early to apply for a 2020 accounting internship. Maybe we'll see you then!

<looking poorly is not the same thing as "still having a parasite">.
Heaven Bound Celestial Eye (continued) <Hi, MikeD filing in here> Thanks very much for your prompt reply Chuck...but the problems with my celestial have increased overnight. You can refer to my previous email, but here's an update of the last 24 hours: 1. his water temperature drops quite low during the cold nights - I'd say less than 18C (64F), so I have kept him in a slightly warmer room, and put towels around his bowl at night to keep heat in. I don't cover the top though - should I?<Although rapid drops and increases in temperature are taxing on many fish, less so with goldfish, actually a cooler water fish that is often stressed by higher temperatures> 2. His tail rot appears to have stabilized, BUT it is not any better, and the frayed edges have whitish spots on them.<This sounds like a secondary bacterial infection that's apparently resist to the Furnace> 3. I've noticed clustering of small white spots on his tail fins too (the spots appeared about 2 days ago, and have since dramatically multiplied in size and number). I'm guessing this is Ich?<I'd have to say this is a realistic assessment> I have bought some medication containing 37mg/ml formaldehyde + 0.32mg/ml malachite green, but am unsure whether to add it yet as it seems like quite an aggressive treatment, and I don't want to further compromise his immunity.<Ick won't compromise his immunity, but will rather just kill him. Ick's a protozoan parasite that often most severely infects a fish's gills and eyes, and unless treated promptly the die is likely cast> Last night, on the advice of a couple of aquarium stores, I put 2 tsp of rock salt into his bowl (which contains about 5L of water). He has perked up slightly, but still seems quite listless. My major quandary is that I am out of the country for the week from Thursday, and will not be able to constantly monitor him - as a treatment with malachite green/formaldehyde seems to require. Some websites and a vet I spoke to have suggested the increase in salt content to about 2g/L... is this a good idea, or will it mean that the Ich comes back?<The increased salt would be effective only against a fungus attack and will likely stress the goldfish as much as it does the Ick parasites, possibly more> Aalso, In cases like this, would you recommend treating with antibiotics first and then the Ich treatment, or the other way around?<Ick first, antibiotics second. Have you considered that a larger container with a more stable environment would likely eliminate most or all of your difficulties? A 10 liter container would cost less than what you've already spent in medications> Am suffering a bit of information overload here and am a little confused! Thanks heaps for the useful info on your website; you guys do a great job! I feel quite awful as I was given my fish as a gift, and don't want him to die through my inexperience.
Sick Goldfish Hello........ Please can you help me..... I have 2 big Veiltails, Both female. One of them is fine, the other one, 1st, she started to clamp her dorsal fin, and now she hangs to the water's surface. She still eats well. When I feed them, she will swim to the bottom to get the food. I have been doing water changes, and I do use a tap conditioner. What else can I do ? Thanks very much < The clamped fins could mean a couple of things. Either a protozoa or bacterial infection. I would try some rid-Ich first for treating Protozoans. It takes at least three days to see if it is working. If you don't see any improvement then I would use Furanace to treat the bacterial infection. Follow the directions carefully and watch for ammonia spikes because these medications will affect the bacteria bed.-Chuck.> Rachel.
Fish laying on the bottom all day Hi Wet Web Media crew, I have been and read your useful site in hope of some answers to my fish's mysterious illness. I have a beautiful orange fantail and his name is Quasar. He has been with us for a year, and is living with a red cap in a 26 litre tank (6.85 gallons) We have been doing exactly the same thing all this time - changing water every two weeks, feeding them frozen (then defrosted) brine shrimp in the morning and 2 floating pellets each for dinner. They have also have a plant, which they did not eat in there. Quasar is resting on the bottom of the tank all day, and only comes up for food. His lower tail looks a bit split and stringy, which we suspected is fin rot, though there is no sign of an infection. This behaviour and the tail thing happened on Friday. The aquarium shop said it may be because he is laying on the bottom, and bacteria is able to attack his tail more readily. We have treated him with MelaFix (on Sunday), a tea tree derived 'natural' medicine that helps to cure fin rot, whether it is or not - I'm not convinced. The carbon has been removed whilst treatment is taking place. Our water was tested on the weekend, and everything is fine. A water change has been made and that has tested fine too. The red cap seems unaffected by this, though hovers around his friend to give him support. My fish seem to recognise food time, when I turn off the pump so their food doesn't go everywhere, and the spread is minimal. Quasar then comes up for food,( which I have minimized for him), and swims around hunting for more, then settles back down to rest, when the pump is turned back on (a sign feeding is over). This may be unrelated, but we have noticed his vision seems to have deteriorated over the last month as he seems to miss sea monkeys as they fall almost in front of him, and he seems to be guided by smell to eat them. Short sighted like his owners. He is quite young still, body length 5cm, and he used to be so efficient and sharp. We wonder if he has injured himself, as there is a small brown mole like mark that is seen on the top of his head through his translucent skin. So here are as many facts as possible. Aquarium workers may know some, but I am confused, and their answers are inconclusive. Could he be constipated. We have replaced the plant he doesn't eat with one he does yesterday (Sunday). As you can tell, we love him very very much. Please shed some light on his mystery illness, and give us some hope for his fighting chance. He is strong and healthy when he does swim and the most lovable fish. < You fish sounds like it may have come down with an internal swim bladder infection. The swim bladder helps the fish keep its buoyancy. When it becomes infected the fish sometimes lose this ability and rest on the bottom as they try and swim around they seem to bump into every thing. They often injure themselves as they move around and get bruised up an torn fins. I would put him in a breeder net for now to minimize the physical damage and treat with Metronidazole for the internal infection. This medication may affect the good bacteria so check for ammonia. Do not feed during the treatment.-Chuck> Please answer soon. Vonda, from Melbourne.

Eni and Gruppo B.F. partner to develop sustainable agricultural products for biofuel production
Italy-headed oil and gas major Eni S.p.A. (Eni) has announced that it has entered into a partnership with compatriot Gruppo B.F. S.p.A. (B.F.) to form a 50:50 joint venture that will carry out development research on growing alternative oilseeds on marginal lands for use as feedstock at Eni's biorefineries.
Eni S.p.A. (Eni) has entered into a partnership with Gruppo B.F. S.p.A. (BF) to form a 50:50 joint venture that will carry out research on growing alternative oilseeds on marginal lands for use as feedstock at Eni's biorefineries (photo courtesy Eni).
B.F. along with its subsidiaries including Bonifiche Ferraresi S.p.A. is the largest agricultural company in Italy in terms of utilized agricultural area (UAA) with operations on 7 750 hectares (ha).
The agreement builds on a strong track record of collaboration between Eni and BF in the agricultural sector for the development of economic diversification initiatives, skill transfer, and support for entrepreneurship in Italy and abroad.
Furthermore, the agreement between the companies provides for the purchase by Eni of a minority stake in Bonifiche Ferraresi and for Eni's entry into BF's share capital by means of a reserved capital increase.
The agreement is of strategic importance for Eni since as of 2023, Eni will no longer use palm oil in its production processes.
The testing and experimentation activities of the joint venture will be carried out at Bonifiche Ferraresi's "Open Sky Laboratories" in Sardinia and will be aimed at assessing the ability to replicate production processes currently used in Italy in the other countries in which Eni operates, Africa in particular.
The joint venture will also focus on the development of training programs for personnel for agro-feedstock project development sectors.
The identification of the most suitable plant species will comply with the sustainability criteria defined in the European Directive on biofuels, promoting sustainable cultivation, protecting the soil, and not taking away land that could be used for food production, thus promoting the sustainable economic development of marginal land in Italy and abroad.
The initiative is part of Eni's strategy for achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050, which includes green refining as a strategic element, with production capacity expected to double to around 2 million tonnes by 2024 and a further increase to 5-6 million tonnes expected by 2050.

Big Apple Psychedelic Mushrooms Ny Felony Lawyer Stephen Bilkis & Associates
In a 2017 Global Drug Survey, it's estimated that roughly 20.6% of individuals worldwide who used medicine of any sort, selectively used magic mushrooms within their lifetime as a lot as that yr .
This review will give consideration to psilocybin, the principle psychoactive element of magic mushrooms (psilocybin-producing mushrooms), that has been utilized for thousands of years in mushroom-worshiping ceremonies in old-world cultures .
In addition to the known leisure, religious, and non secular makes use of of magic mushrooms, there's vital medicinal value, as evidenced by anecdotal stories and scientific research.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is liable for emotional processing, action, cognitive behaviour and goal-orientation, and demonstrates top-down inhibitory control on the amygdala .
In medication-naïve people, decreased functional connectivity between the amygdala and the left rostral prefrontal cortex is characteristic of main depressive disorder .
Figure four is one instance of how psilocybin could additionally be converted from L-tryptophan.
Magic mushrooms is in all probability not legal, but extra locations are starting to rethink their policy approach to psychedelic fungi.
With analysis displaying promising results for sufferers, lawmakers in different states and cities are also considering loosening psilocybin restrictions.
A few states want to legalize psilocybin therapy for all adult patients, whereas others need to limit it to veterans or others with PTSD.
Hawaii's state Senate cited the FDA designation in March when it permitted a bill that may assemble a task drive to develop a long-term plan to make psilocybin obtainable to adults over the age of 21 in search of psychological well being therapy.

The Colorado Sun is a journalist-owned, award-winning news outlet primarily based in Denver that strives to cowl all of Colorado in order that our state — our neighborhood — can better understand itself.
Luke Niforatos, chairman of Protect Colorado's Kids, mentioned he was concerned as a father or mother and for Colorado's public health.
Natural Medicine Colorado, which received Proposition 122 on the ballot, spent almost $4.5 million to advertise the measure.
In contrast, the primary opposition, Protect Colorado's Kids, raised about $51,000.
"I realized how to love, not only myself, but others," mentioned Corey Champagne, a Marine Corps veteran in Redmond, Washington, who used ayahuasca in Peru last 12 months.
Ladies, Affect & Power In Regulation Uk Awards 2023
Four Massachusetts cities have functionally decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms and lots of other entheogenic plants and fungi.
The Somerville city council voted to decriminalize pure entheogens in January of 2021.
Northampton city council voted to decriminalize in April of the identical year.
It calls for licensed "healing centers" to offer purchasers mushrooms in a supervised setting, but — not like marijuana — doesn't include an option for retail gross sales.
In the same year, the USFDA also accredited SPRAVATO®, a ketamine analog developed by Johnson and Johnson for use in sufferers suffering from treatment-resistant despair .
In buy magic mushroom in Colorado , Usona Institute received USFDA "breakthrough therapy" status for a psilocybin remedy for major depressive disorder .
One attainable mechanism of action of this analgesic property is via interaction with nociceptive and antinociceptive pathways .
In some instances, psilocybin was corresponding to or more efficacious than conventional medicines such as opioid analgesics .
This examine assesses the supply of websites offering to promote psilocybin spores and psilocybin, a powerful hallucinogen contained in Psilocybe mushrooms.
Abuse Of Magic Mushroom, Peyote Cactus, Lsd, Khat, And Volatiles
Although psilocybin mushrooms had been once authorized to buy from "smart outlets," the country later outlawed them as it sought to clamp down on "unpredictable and due to this fact risky behavior" which may come up from psilocybin use in certain settings.
These hallucinogenic mushrooms are small and, therefore, consumption of greater than a single mushroom is required for the results to occur.
For example, two or three mushrooms of P. cubensis will produce the desired hallucinogenic experience, while 20–40 P. cyanescens are required for an equal expertise.
In addition, the concentrations of psilocybin differ significantly between species of mushrooms.
Following the ingestion of an efficient number of mushrooms, dizziness, giddiness, muscle twitching, restlessness, and anxiousness start within 30min.
Approximately 20% of users may also experience some nausea and vomiting.
In comparatively chilly and moist areas like Washington and Oregon, P. cyanescens and ovoids could be found rising in additional pure environments, including coastal dune grasses and along creeks, however what they actually love is often watered wood chips.
And as quickly as you progress farther south into California, all three species become completely city fungi.
"That is actually not where it developed," says Rockefeller, who is considered one of the most well-known mycologists learning psilocybe species.
He can rattle off Latin names quicker than most individuals can understand them and has a near-encyclopedic data of mushrooms on the West Coast of the united states
P. cyanescens and P. allenii are each small—never rising greater than two or three inches tall—and have chestnut brown caps, white stems, and darkish purple spores.
The solely distinction between the 2 is that the caps of P. cyanescens develop a characteristic wavy edge, which is why they're commonly known as wavy caps.
Although psilocybin remains a federally prohibited drug, Salomon and different proponents of legalization say they are assured U.S. legislation enforcement will take the identical hands-off approach they use in states that have legalized marijuana.
Washington state Sen. Jesse Salomon, a Democrat, sponsored a bill this yr that would have set up a regulatory system like Oregon's.
It would have adopted requirements for cultivating mushrooms and processing psilocybin as well as licensing centers and providers who would administer the medicine to patients.
Ballot initiatives that may legalize psilocybin are underway in Colorado and California.

Freelance writers and photographers on Tuesday filed the second legal challenge to a broad new California labor law that they say could put some independent journalists out of business.The law taking effect Jan. 1 aims to give wage and benefit protections to people who work as independent contractors. While the public focus has been largely on ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft, the lawsuit brought by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Press Photographers Association says the law would unconstitutionally affect free speech and the media. The lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation challenged what it calls an "irrational and arbitrary" limit of 35 submissions each year to each media outlet.That has "thrown our community into a panic, given that in the year 2020 digital media is a whole different beast than newspapers and journalism of the past," said Los Angeles-based writer Maressa Brown, who founded California Freelance Writers United in September."You could hit 35 (submissions) in a matter of a few weeks, and we don't feel that should require us submitting a W2, sitting in an office and tethered to a computer and under the oversight of one client," said Brown, who likes having up to 15 clients at one time. "People are losing clients, income. Their livelihoods are under threat."The law establishes the nation's strictest test for which workers must be considered employees and could set a precedent for other states.The lawsuit says the freelance restriction draws "unconstitutional content-based distinctions about who can freelance," noting that "the government faces a heavy burden of justification when its regulations single out the press."The Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit libertarian group, filed it in federal court in Los Angeles."First, it was the Endangered Species Act, then women on corporate boards, and now the Pacific Legal Foundation is attacking California's landmark workplace rights law.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
Freelance writers and photographers on Tuesday filed the second legal challenge to a broad new California labor law that they say could put some independent journalists out of business.
The law taking effect Jan. 1 aims to give wage and benefit protections to people who work as independent contractors. While the public focus has been largely on ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft, the lawsuit brought by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Press Photographers Association says the law would unconstitutionally affect free speech and the media.
The lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation challenged what it calls an "irrational and arbitrary" limit of 35 submissions each year to each media outlet.
That has "thrown our community into a panic, given that in the year 2020 digital media is a whole different beast than newspapers and journalism of the past," said Los Angeles-based writer Maressa Brown, who founded California Freelance Writers United in September.

"People are losing clients, income. Their livelihoods are under threat."
The law establishes the nation's strictest test for which workers must be considered employees and could set a precedent for other states.
The lawsuit says the freelance restriction draws "unconstitutional content-based distinctions about who can freelance," noting that "the government faces a heavy burden of justification when its regulations single out the press."
The Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit libertarian group, filed it in federal court in Los Angeles.
"First, it was the Endangered Species Act, then women on corporate boards, and now the Pacific Legal Foundation is attacking California's landmark workplace rights law.

I only wear false lashes on the occasional night out but I honestly wish I could wear them all the time (although I will have to get better at applying them so they look good in daylight!). I have pretty short, blond eyelashes so adding the extra layer gives them some volume and makes them look more full. When I don't wear mascara you can barely even see them! I like these "natural" ones since it doesn't actually look like I'm wearing false lashes when I have them on. Sometimes when you're going out though it's nice to have those big/thick lashes so I might get some "glamour" ones for those occasions :P Oh and the Liquid-Plumr worked like a charm!

The Black Stripe of Information
Arul Ganesh S S
2 December, 2017 - 08:00 (Research Matters)
Ever wondered how an ATM card stores information? Most of us are aware that the black strip at the back of the card plays an important role in this process. How it works though, isn't as common a knowledge.
The black strip found at the back of most smart cards is essentially a band of magnetic material. Different materials respond differently to a magnetic field. Iron for example, gets 'magnetized' in the presence of a magnet, whereas a piece of wood does not.
The magnetic stripe contains clusters of tiny particles, each with varying magnetic properties, thus producing a magnetic pattern. Information is recorded onto the magnetic stripe as difference in patterns of magnetization. The built-in reader of an ATM machine can detect these differences and decode the stored information - vaguely similar to how a barcode is read.
The process of storing information using differences in patterns of magnetization across a magnetizable material is called magnetic storage. Hard disks and audio/video cassettes that were commonly used before the onset of the present digital era, also stored information in the same way.

Chocolate Helps Coughs. Here are the results of an interesting survey: when it comes to coughs, chocolate calms them down better than codeine. This is from a recent study where patients who took a new medicine containing cocoa (versus cough syrup) saw a significant improvement in their cough within two days. Another study, performed at the Imperial College of London, further explains: There's an alkaloid in cocoa that is better at suppressing the urge to cough than codeine. Cool.
Not Created Equal. When it comes to calories, it turns out, they are not created equal. Here's an Ars Technica article on the subject, which is based on a report from one of my favorite podcasts, Gastropod. This is because not all calories are stored the same in the body, nor are they burned the same.

Kirin's Horn: Case Closed, vol. 68 by Gosho Aoyama
The 68th volume of Gosho Aoyama's Case Closed, published in the non-English speaking world as Detective Conan, begins with the final chapter of the story that closed the previous volume and has one of those which-of-the-three setups littering the series, but here it was poorly executed with a painfully obvious solution – resulting in an incredibly mediocre story. Luckily, the next two stories are much better.
The plot of the second story centers on another ill-fated attempt by Rachel to get her estranged parents, Richard Moore and Eva Kaden, back together and the birthday of her mother provides her with an opportunity. Rachel has won a weekend getaway at the Shizuoka Seaside Hotel, which is a perfect location for a small, intimate birthday party, but the series murder-magnet, Conan, tagged along with Rachel, Richard and Eva. So a murder interrupting the birthday party is a question of when, not if.
Eva Kaden is a busy, successful attorney at law and had to reschedule an important meeting to the hotel where she was having her birthday party.
Kaden's client are a former model, Akiho Kokubu, who has been the victim of a stalker and her husband, Takehiko Kokubu. Their appointment was to arrange an out-of-court settlement with the mother of the man who was stalking her, all of whom are in the hotel, but, before their scheduled meeting can take place, Akiho's body "appeared out of nowhere" in Kaden's hotel room when she was taking a shower – which is patently impossible. The hotel room has a door that can only be opened with a key card and has a small window without a balcony. So how did the murderer enter or leave the locked room?
The problem of the locked room is practically immediately solved, but this answer reveals a second problem hiding underneath it. How could the murderer have carried out a certain task requiring two, or more, people? One of the clues gave me an idea how this could have been done, but failed to completely envision the trick before it was revealed. So a good, richly clued story with a sugary ending.
The third story marks the return of my favorite recurring side-character, Jirokichi Sebastian, who's Serena Sebastian's rich uncle and sworn nemesis of that infamously elusive thief, Kaito KID. Jirokichi has attempted to capture KID numerous times, such as in volumes 44, 61 and 65, but it was Conan who, time and time again, prevented KID from getting away with a valuable object – something that gave the old man an idea. Jirokichi has gotten the traditional warning note from KID promising that, when the moon is full, he'll appear again "to take the Kirin's Horn," but this time he had added a post-script. A post-script asking Jirokichi to "put aside childish things" and "settle this like men."
Jirokichi deduces from this that he wants adults present, not children, because "children are Kaito KID's weakness." After all, not even a master of disguise, like KID, can pass himself off as a child. So he places Conan and the Junior Detective League in the limelight. Admittedly, this was certainly the most original way to shoehorn them into a case without them just being there. Conan remained surprisingly cool-headed in the face of all those rollings news camera considering that it could blow his cover wide open. Anita at least pulled her hoodie over her head, but Conan like a deer in the headlights.
Anyway, the Kirin's Horn is "a rare piece of amber" containing "a seed that's ten of thousands of years old," which was recently discovered in a shrine constructed by the devilishly ingenious 19th century craftsman, Kichiemon Samizu – whose "tricky devises" has given Conan and KID hard times on several occasions. However, the presence of his long-dead hand, sort of, gave away the mechanics of the plot.
Nevertheless, the impossible situation that emerged from this setup was an intriguing one: the Kirin's Horn is part of a statue, well hidden inside a mechanical pillar, which stands in the middle of a small room with four differently colored pedestals in each corner. All of these pedestals have keyholes and the four colored keys have to be turned at the exactly the same time to make the statue inside the pillar appear. Jirokichi ordered an electrical current to be placed on the pedestals and placed members of the Junior Detective League in front of the keyholes. Finally, Jirokichi nailed the keys into the wall with a big staple.
Well, in spite of all the security measures, the lights go out as predicted and it takes KID only a minute to steal the horn, but he has a problem, because the trap is sprung and he's trapped inside the shrine – along with the police, a film crew and Jirokichi. Uncharacteristically, KID has taken Conan out with a taser and spends most of the story lying in the middle of the room, like John Kramer, but why?
Seriously, I began to suspect KID had gotten his hands on some short-term APTX 4869 and had taken Conan's place, which would be perfectly acceptable within this universe and this would explain why Anita and Conan acted differently towards the news cameras. You know, KID would look practically identical to Conan as a child. Luckily, this turned out not to be the case and the explanation showed a little but more ingenuity. The locked room trick is mainly a mechanical one, which is hardly a spoiler, but still required enough subterfuge and manipulation of the situation to not make the mechanical aspect feel like a cop-out.
As a bonus, KID gives the reader a second locked room mystery when he appears to be trapped, but simply vanishes when the lights go out for a second or two! The solution is very comic book-like, but have come across it before in a short story and admired the skillfully placed red herring that made it very easy to overlook the solution.
Admittedly, this is far from the best story with either Jirokichi, KID or the lingering presence of Kichiemon Samizu, but still found this to be a wonderfully imagined, cleverly constructed and enjoyable story.
Regrettably, this volume is book-ended by two incredibly mediocre stories and the final story deals with a purse snatcher, disguised in a goofy-looking Hyottoko mask, who targets tori-no-ichi markets and his latest victim is Rachel's best friend, Serena Sebastian – who's determined to get revenge. So they're present when the purse snatcher wounds a man with knife and the victim, before losing conscious, gives Conan a cryptic, near-death-message. However, Western readers rarely have a shot solving the codes or dying messages in this, because they nearly impossible to translate. And this story is no different. So that probably detracted something from this pretty average, uninspired which-of-the-three detective story.
All in all, this was a fairly balanced volume with weak stories opening and closing this collection, but wedged in between you'll find two solid cases and one of them has appearances of some of my favorite recurring side-characters. And those two stories were more than enough to leave me satisfied.

This dissertation develops rapid and accurate building energy simulations based on a building classification that identifies and focuses modeling efforts on most significant heat transfer processes. The building classification identifies energy use patterns and their contributing parameters for a portfolio of buildings. The dissertation hypothesis is "Building classification can provide minimal required inputs for rapid and accurate energy simulations for a large number of buildings". The critical literature review indicated there is lack of studies to (1) Consider synoptic point of view rather than the case study approach, (2) Analyze influence of different granularities of energy use, (3) Identify key variables based on the heat transfer processes, and (4) Automate the procedure to quantify model complexity with accuracy. Therefore, three dissertation objectives are designed to test out the dissertation hypothesis: (1) Develop different classes of buildings based on their energy use patterns, (2) Develop different building energy simulation approaches for the identified classes of buildings to quantify tradeoffs between model accuracy and complexity, (3) Demonstrate building simulation approaches for case studies. Penn State's and Harvard's campus buildings as well as high performance LEED NC office buildings are test beds for this study to develop different classes of buildings. The campus buildings include detailed chilled water, electricity, and steam data, enabling to classify buildings into externally-load, internally-load, or mixed-load dominated. The energy use of the internally-load buildings is primarily a function of the internal loads and their schedules. Externally-load dominated buildings tend to have an energy use pattern that is a function of building construction materials and outdoor weather conditions. However, most of the commercial medium-sized office buildings have a mixed-load pattern, meaning the HVAC system and operation schedule dictate the indoor condition regardless of the contribution of internal and external loads. To deploy the methodology to another portfolio of buildings, simulated LEED NC office buildings are selected. The advantage of this approach is to isolate energy performance due to inherent building characteristics and location, rather than operational and maintenance factors that can contribute to significant variation in building energy use. A framework for detailed building energy databases with annual energy end-uses is developed to select variables and omit outliers. The results show that the high performance office buildings are internally-load dominated with existence of three different clusters of low-intensity, medium-intensity, and high-intensity energy use pattern for the reviewed office buildings. Low-intensity cluster buildings benefit from small building area, while the medium- and high-intensity clusters have a similar range of floor areas and different energy use intensities. Half of the energy use in the low-intensity buildings is associated with the internal loads, such as lighting and plug loads, indicating that there are opportunities to save energy by using lighting or plug load management systems. A comparison between the frameworks developed for the campus buildings and LEED NC office buildings indicates these two frameworks are complementary to each other. Availability of the information has yielded to two different procedures, suggesting future studies for a portfolio of buildings such as city benchmarking and disclosure ordinance should collect and disclose minimal required inputs suggested by this study with the minimum level of monthly energy consumption granularity. This dissertation developed automated methods using the OpenStudio API (Application Programing Interface) to create energy models based on the building class. ASHRAE Guideline 14 defines well-accepted criteria to measure accuracy of energy simulations; however, there is no well-accepted methodology to quantify the model complexity without the influence of the energy modeler judgment about the model complexity. This study developed a novel method using two weighting factors, including weighting factors based on (1) computational time and (2) easiness of on-site data collection, to measure complexity of the energy models. Therefore, this dissertation enables measurement of both model complexity and accuracy as well as assessment of the inherent tradeoffs between energy simulation model complexity and accuracy. The results of this methodology suggest for most of the internal load contributors such as operation schedules the on-site data collection adds more complexity to the model compared to the computational time. The third objective deployed the developed building classification and energy simulation approaches to two well-instrumented case studies. In the first case study, without the use of on-site data except the building energy consumption, the developed methods successfully predict the natural gas consumption, while the electricity consumption requires additional inputs beyond the building energy consumption. The second case study exhibited an opposite pattern of outcomes, meaning the developed methods successfully predict the electricity consumption, while the natural gas consumption requires additional inputs. For the first case study with additional site visit data, and for the second case study with using monthly building indoor temperature readings, the developed methods provide accurate predictions for both natural gas and electricity consumptions that have met the ASHRAE Guideline 14 requirements, to have CV below 15%. It is important to note this guideline provides accuracy measurement criteria for a well-calibrated model for which an energy modeler typically performs multiple site visits and reviews detailed building documentation to obtain inputs for the building model. In addition, with the exclusion of three outlier months from the analyses, the results without any additional inputs have met the accuracy requirement. The conducted energy simulations for the two case studies revealed that there are key variables such as outdoor air fraction, infiltration rate, and monthly HVAC setpoints especially for the shoulder months (April-May and October-November) that are not included in the building energy database due to the difficulty of on-site measurements. Use of these variables in the building classification and modeling can increase the accuracy of energy simulation to the required level of acceptance. Overall, this study provided specific data on tradeoffs between accuracy and model complexity that points to critical inputs for different building classes, rather than an increase in the volume and detail of model inputs as the current research and consulting practice indicates.


Regulation of solute and water balance and cell volume in the central nervous system.
The mammalian brain is composed of four distinct fluid compartments: blood, cerebral spinal fluid, interstitial fluid surrounding glial cells and neurons, and intracellular fluid. Maintenance of the ionic and osmotic composition and volume of these fluids is crucial for the normal functioning of the brain. Small changes in intracellular or extracellular solute composition can dramatically alter neuronal signaling and information processing. Because of the rigid confines of the skull and complex brain architecture, changes in total brain volume can cause devastating neurological damage. As a result, it is not surprising to find that the composition and volume of brain intracellular and extracellular fluids are controlled tightly under both normal conditions and in various disease states. Osmotic and ionic balance in the central nervous system is regulated by solute and water transport across the blood-brain barrier, the choroid plexus, and the plasma membrane of glial cells and neurons. Despite its clinical and physiological significance, however, little is known about the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the central nervous system's osmotic and ionic balance is maintained. In this review, the current understanding of osmoregulation in the mammalian brain and its role in various disease processes such as hyponatremia, renal failure, and hypernatremia will be summarized. A detailed understanding of brain osmoregulatory processes represents a fundamental physiological problem and is required for the treatment of numerous disease states, particularly those encountered in the practice of nephrology.

Passersby in front the former Susan's Coffee and Tea may have noticed some changes in the building's exterior recently.
Randall Matejka, president of DesignWise Construction Co. in Cleveland and the architect overseeing the building's conversion to a Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurant, said renovations to the space began in the middle of November. Such changes included paving the parking lot, patching exterior concrete and applying a first coat of exterior paint.
"The exterior is basically done," Matejka said.
Workers at DesignWise will probably be starting interior renovations within the next two to three weeks, Matejka said. For now, a great deal of the work lies in submitting plans for review, which is the process of having different aspects such as the structural accessibility, plumbing and electricity cleared by the Kent Building Department. He said revised drawings were mailed yesterday in response to the second building review, dated Oct. 29.
The first building review was dated for Oct. 13. It took place after the Kent Building Department received the building permit application from the franchisee, Wholesome Development, LLC, Oct. 6.
Robert Nitzsche, chief building official at the Kent Building Department, said the number of reviews that take place depends on whether the contractor has met the reviewer's list of requirements, which include local building and fire requirements as well as state codes.
"Once they have met that list it's just a matter of issuing the building permit, so they can start interior renovations," Nitzsche said. "We gave them the go ahead to do (the exterior changes) because they didn't affect the building structure."
The project should be completed by the end of February or the beginning of March, Matejka said.

Governor's convoy attacked by thugs
•LP, APC disagree
The convoy of Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi was attacked yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, by suspected Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thugs.
The attack occurred around 6pm when the governor and his supporters were returning to Ado-Ekiti from a campaign rally in Ekiti-East Local Government Area.
It was learnt that over 100 thugs emerged from former Governor Ayo Fayose's Campaign Office, throwing stones and bottles at the governor's convoy.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Olayinka Oyebode, in a statement, said the governor restrained his security aides and All Progressives Congress (APC) members from retaliating.
Some APC members were injured and the windshields of their vehicles smashed.
The incident occurred barely a week after the April 1 attack on some APC supporters by suspected PDP thugs at Adebayo in the state capital.
Also yesterday, the Labour Party (LP) alleged that suspected APC members attacked its campaign train in Isan, Iye and Ilawe at the weekend.
It said live ammunition, machetes, axes and stones were used by the hoodlums on its members, who were "campaigning peacefully" for the party's flag bearer, Mr. Opeyemi Bamidele.
In a statement, LP said: "Our campaign bus was shattered and battered In Isan-Ekiti, same at Ilawe-Ekiti. At Iye-Ekiti, one of our youth leaders was injured with a machete and hospitalised.
"We draw the attention of the Federal Government, the Inspector-General of Police, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies, as well as the good and peace-loving people of Ekiti, to call Dr. Kayode Fayemi and his party to order before they start another orgy of violence and bloodletting."
Spokesman of the Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation Dimeji Daniels refuted the allegations, saying: "We invite the police to investigate these lies to know who is preparing for the coming election as if it is a war. Trying to curry undue favour from the electorate, who have resolved to vote for Fayemi in the June 21 election, will not serve any of our opposition underdogs a useful purpose.
"We have said the campaign should be based on issues. Fayemi has kept to this. Our organisation has also kept to this. We do not have any reason to go off that path of decency and principle because we have more than enough issues to deal with and campaign about.
"Ekiti is one beautiful bride today because of the many packages of development and better living instituted by Fayemi. These are what we have based our campaigns on and not thuggery which, unfortunately, the LP and the PDP have largely relied upon as their campaign strategy."

Evolution Infographic: The Rise & Diversification of Biologics
Evolution M&A Analysis: China seeks food security with $43 billion bid for Syngenta
Evolution M&A Analysis: Evaluating Potential Acquisition Targets for Thermo Fisher Scientific
February 21, 2016	by evolution	in Evolution Infographics
For our latest Data Visualisation project, the Evolution Global Team analysed historical new drug approval statistics and the current clinical trials pipeline to identify trends that highlight the rise and diversification of Biologics. From start-ups to blue chips, we have evaluated the pharmaceutical players involved in the ongoing research and development of Biologics in order to identify upcoming therapeutic categories with disruptive potential.
Chart 1: Small Molecule & Biologics FDA Approvals by Year
2015 saw 51 New Drug Approvals by the FDA (CDER & CBER), with 32 of these drugs classed as Small Molecules and 19 classed as Biologics. Chart 2 highlights divides these newly approved Biologics into eight categories, with the dominant class being Monoclonal Antibodies, accounting for 42% of approvals. Recombinant Peptides & Proteins accounted for 21% of approvals, whilst Biobetter Recombinant Peptides & Proteins ranked third with 11% of overall Biologics approvals. In 2015 a single Biologic was approved for each of the five other classes (Antibody Fragments, Oncolytic Viral Therapy, Recombinant Fusion Proteins, Recombinant Glycoproteins and Vaccines).
Chart 2: Biologics Approvals by Category (Hover for values)
In-depth analysis of the Clinical Trials pipeline from 2016-2019 has identified 286 ongoing industry-funded Phase-III trials globally, 131 of which are classified as novel treatments. By applying historical attrition rates Dr. Frank Rinaldi, Director of Market Intelligence & Innovation at Evolution, has forecast that 75 of these novel treatments will be approved. Chart 3 splits the novel treatments into categories, highlighting the predicted number of approvals for each type of treatment.
Chart 3: Biologics Approvals Forecasting
"It's clear that there are some exciting new developments ahead, and that the therapeutic class known as Biologics will continue to expand to include a wider use of cell therapy treatments, allogeneic and/or autologous," notes Dr. Rinaldi. "The impact of cancer immunotherapy and regenerative medicine approaches will also be significant. For both regenerative medicine and cancer immunotherapy using autologous mechanisms, a further interest will be the ability to deliver treatment cost effectively in order to avoid failures similar to Dendreon's prostate cancer vaccine."
"Another area to watch out for is the expansion of the extrapolation concept for biosimilars," notes Dr. Rinaldi. "Celltrion's biosimilar version of Remicade is likely to be approved by the FDA to treat several or possibly all of the conditions J & J's Remicade treats. It would be the first biosimilar to be approved in the U.S. for a number of different diseases at one step, overcoming the requirement for clinical trials for every use indication."
"Last but not least are the new Monoclonals in development," states Dr. Rinaldi. "Notable mAbs in development include Roche/Genentech's Ocrelizumab for both relapsing/remitting and primary progressive multiple sclerosis, and Atezolizumab, which is in several phase 3 trials to treat a number of tumour types. If successful, both of these developments are forecast to be >$2B per annum blockbusters."
As Biologics expand to include a wider use of cell therapy treatments, the cell becomes the product. Dr. Jason Beckwith, Managing Director at Evolution Global, anticipates that the industry is likely to experience a talent demand paradigm shift for enhanced expertise specific to complex Quality Control, Cell Characterisation, Regulatory & Logistics skill-sets. "As classical bioproduction shifts to different therapeutic areas, it is key that specialised talent providers are aware of their client strategy and understand their bespoke requirements," asserts Dr. Beckwith. "A competent technical search provider will be an important industry partner to help provide the required differentiation for strategic success in this evolving dynamic market."

We are glad that you finally landed here!
Let me tell you a story.The story of our own.Who we are and how we came to make a website like GardenInstrument.
We(three of us) really love gardening.In the front yard, we make our first garden and it is designed to be seen from the street.Then we move to the backyard.
At that time we faced a lot of problems choosing the tools that were necessary.We were looking for the best lawn aerator, grow tent, propane weed torch, garden cart and so on.
So, we started to study and go through several blogs, forum, Reddit and gave 10 hours a day(we were obsessed, believe me!) to get the best products.
As we know a lot about garden and gardening tools, why not share this with others and help them to select the best products.So here we are on our website to provide you the best value.
GardenInstrument.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
