Though the Labor Day weekend has recently passed, the fun of summer is not over. Especially if you visit a location like Kissimmee, Florida with your family. The heat of summer makes way for temperate Fall and Winter seasons to explore this activity filled destination. Recently the Experience Kissimmee representatives completed a tour through all the major ballparks who enjoy major league spring training in Kissimmee. They visited cities and stadiums housing Houston's Astros, Washington D.C.'s Nationals, Bronx's Yankees, Chicago's Cubs and White Soxs, and Atlanta's Braves. Their message? Come play in Kissimmee soon!
A trip to Kissimmee would be awesome!
I wish we could get to Kissimmee soon!!!
I spent a week in Kissimmee last fall. It's definitely a great time of the year to visit!
Been hearing a lot of buzz about Kissimmee but I've never been.
I always thought that was such an interesting name. I'd love to visit Kissimmee!
I would love to visit! This dreary fall weather has me wanting to bask in the sunshine and I know I would get some rays in Kissimmee.

Attitudes to biotechnology: estimating the opinions of a better-informed public

Public familiarity with basic scientific concepts and principles has been proposed as essential for effective democratic decision-making ( Miller, 1998). Empirical research, however, finds that public 'scientific literacy' is generally low, falling well short of what normative criteria would consider 'acceptable'. This has prompted calls to better engage, educate and inform the public on scientific matters, with the additional, usually implicit assumption that a knowledgeable citizenry should express more supportive and favourable attitudes toward science. Research investigating the notion that 'to know science is to love it' has provided only weak empirical support and has itself been criticised for representing science and technology as a unified and homogenous entity. In practice, it is argued, how knowledge impacts on the favourability of attitudes will depend on a multiplicity of factors, not least of which is the particular area of science in question and the technologies to which it gives rise ( Evans P Durant, 1992). This article uses a new method for examining the knowledge-attitude nexus on a prominent area of 21st century science - biotechnology. The idea that greater scientific knowledge can engender change in the favourability of attitudes toward specific areas of science is investigated using data from the 2000 British Social Attitudes Survey and the 1999 Wellcome Consultative Panel on Gene Therapy. Together the surveys measure public opinion on particular applications of genetic technologies, including gene therapy and the use of genetic data, as well as more general attitudes towards genetic research. We focus our analysis on how two different measures of knowledge impact on these attitudes; one a general measure of scientific knowledge, the other relating specifically to knowledge of modern genetic science. We investigate what impact these knowledge domains have on attitudes towards biotechnology using a regression-based modelling technique (Bartels, 1996; Althaus, 1998; Sturgis, 2003). Controlling for a range of socio-demographic characteristics, we provide estimates of what collective and individual opinion would look like if everyone were as knowledgeable as the currently best-informed members of the general public on the knowledge domains in question. Our findings demonstrate that scientific knowledge does appear to have an important role in determining individual and group attitudes to genetic science. However, we find no support for a simple 'deficit model' of public understanding, as the nature of the relationship itself depends on the application of biotechnology in question and the social location of the individual.

15-year-old quad racer not letting challenges slow her down
Stride in the News | Sep 22, 2021
Originally aired on Spectrum News 1 - September 22, 2021
Quad racing is typically a sport we don't see many young girls competing in. But one 15-year-old Ohio girl is making a splash in the sport.
Mikina Maynard is just 15 years old and is already a quad racing champion
She took up the sport a few years ago and now has her sights set on becoming a pro in a few years
Mikina is also battling type 1 diabetes, something she has to manage at all times
Mikina said she never lets the disease stop her from getting to the top of the podium
Mikina Maynard got into quad racing a few years ago and hasn't stopped since.
"Whenever it's race day, I'm ready to go," Mikina said. "And I'm just excited. But if I'm just riding, I just love it. I love the feeling of it."
She trains just about every day in order to make it to the top of the podium
"Definitely, the first one this year whenever I got first," she said. "I was so excited because I really didn't think I would start the season off getting a first but I did."
But there's more to Mikina than meets the eye. She's batting a disease most can't see.
"My blood sugar will sometimes go low during the race or something like that will happen and it kind of sucks," Mikina said.
The teen found out she had type 1 diabetes when she was just eight years old and has since managed her blood sugar with insulin injections.
"Pretty much every time I eat I have to take it," she said.
Her diagnosis was a big reason she decided to switch to an online school with Ohio Virtual Academy.
"I was having a lot of problems in school with people making fun of me and the nurse wasn't taking care of me," Mikina said. "So we finally just decided that it was time to get homeschooled."
But now that she spends so much time training to hopefully go pro in the coming years, online schooling allows her to train more.
"It usually takes me anywhere from an hour to two hours and then usually the rest of the day I'll try to train," she said.

McGregor will be making his highly anticipated comeback in front of a home crowd after almost a year on the sidelines as a result of an ACL tear. Brandao, meanwhile, will be looking to silence the Irishman once and for all when they step into the Octagon.
In the co-main event, welterweights Gunnar "Gunni" Nelson and Zak Cummings go head to head. With Nelson coming into the fight on a broken run of 12 wins, and Cummings fresh of the back of a four-fight winning streak himself, neither will be willing to give up their string of success easily.

ECG Moves To Reduce Losses
The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) is embarking on network improvement projects aimed at reducing technical losses, and increase capacity to meet the growing demand, and ensure supply reliability.
An amount of US$200 million has been earmarked for the above projects which are among a number of measures being initiated by the company to turn it around.
Most of these are to be completed between 2015 and 2016.
Under the distribution system loss reduction project, US$150 million is being invested to improve the distribution network, re-route service tails and replace energy meters with prepayment metering technology for a minimum of 400,000 customers in Accra.
Another intervention by ECG is the distribution network rehabilitation in parts of Accra, Tema and Kumasi using
Aerial Bundle Conductors (ABC) technology to reduce the incidence of power theft.
ECG, in conjunction with the judicial Service, has established five electricity courts to prosecute cases of energy theft in all the company's operational regions.
Also, under the Boundary Metering and Distribution Transformer Metering (BMDTM) Project, the company seeks to sustain the loss reduction programme.
It has embarked on energy audit within its distribution network. This involves installation of BMDTM in areas where the low voltage (LV) has been improved and prepayment meters have been installed.
The company has also introduced a Performance Management System in addition to the adoption of Balanced Scorecard methodology for planning and budgeting.
Organised Labour's position
These, among other interventions, devoid of government interference could help the management of ECG to overcome its operational challenges the energy situation in the country in the next five years, according to both the Public Utility Workers Union (PUWU) and the Public Services Workers Union (PSWU), affiliates of the Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC).
Thus, becoming a credible off-taker as on the government through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact which seeks to double access to power and improve the energy sector, with special attention scaling Private Sector Participation (PSP) in ECG.
The compact, dubbed: "Ghana Power Compact," and signed in August last year is the largest US government-funded transaction. It intends to invest up to US$498.2 million to support the transformation of Ghana's electricity sector and stimulate private investment.
In an interview with the GRAPHIC BUSINESS in Accra, the Deputy General Secretary of PUWU, Mr Michael Adumatta Nyantakyi, said the fundamental problem in Ghana's energy sector was a shortfall in generation and that should be tackled as a matter of urgency.
"You realise that for the supply side to overcome its operational challenges if you bring in a private operator into the distribution now, where there is no power, what is he going to distribute? There is no private entity that can come into the country now as these people are pushing now between now and December to get our energy problems fixed," he said.
He said addressing the energy challenges through such agreement amounted to putting the cart before the horse. "Let's address the key issue which is the supply and then see what measures the distributor is doing to transform its operations," he said.
Short of accessing funds from the MCC, a position paper by the PUWU and PSWU said that listing the ECG on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) could raise the needed capital to support its operations and give Ghanaians the opportunity to own part of the company.
"Another option is for ECG to access pension funds from the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) and Second Tier Pension Funds as pertains in developed countries where such funds support industry for economic development and job creation.
Adequate funding could be sourced from within the country instead of always looking to the outside world," it said.

Early planting possible in Iowa as soils warm, but cold snap risks remain
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
AMES, Iowa — A warm start to April is giving farmers an opportunity for an early start in the fields. How much to do now depends on where you farm and your level of risk assessment.
According to the April 5 soil temperature map provided by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, nearly all counties in Iowa are at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer — the minimum for planting corn.
However, agronomists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach say it's still early, both in terms of the optimum planting window and the risk for spring frost.
Historically, the optimum planting window for Iowa corn has been April 11 to May 18, with a shorter window in the northern part of the state compared to the south. And the risk for a heavy frost (temperature below 28 F) remains above the 50th percentile until about mid-April.
"It looks like we're setting up for a beautiful planting season, much like we had last year, but we're still early for the planting timeframe that is considered 'maximum yield potential' for Iowa," said Meaghan Anderson, field agronomist with ISU Extension and Outreach.
Although soil temperature at planting is important, agronomists advise that the soil temperature should remain at 50 F or trend upward after planting, to prevent cold injury to the seed. A cold rain after planting, with freezing temperatures, can be especially damaging.
Mark Licht, assistant professor in agronomy and cropping systems specialist for ISU Extension and Outreach, said producers might be better tending to other field tasks before putting seed in the ground. He said crop insurance will not cover a replant until April 11, and there is still plenty of time for planting.
"I think it's safe to say we are not out of the woods on receiving low temperatures in the 30s or even below yet," Licht said. "Last year northern Iowa had a frost on May 5. And I can remember many of the last 10 years have had frosts the last week of April or first week of May."
Licht shared his advice in an April 1 blog post on the Integrated Crop Management website, found at https://bit.ly/3cUWh3k, where updates will be provided throughout the growing season.
As for soybean, Licht said he considers "early planting" to be any time between April 11-25, with "ultra-early" being anything before April 11.
Planting soybean before April 25 can result in higher yields, but the yield potential is not consistent from year to year. He said it is more important to make sure soybean is planted before May 20, to avoid late planting yield declines.
"Planting early ensures you will not be planting late, but it does not mean that you will not experience damage or have to replant," Licht said.
Farmers will face risk no matter when they decide to plant, but a good start to the season, like most Iowans are seeing now, is always favorable. Prices for corn and soybean are also up from past years, adding more optimism to the start of this year's crop.
For more information, Licht can be reached at 515-294-0877 or lichtma@iastate.edu. Anderson is available at 319-331-0058 or mjanders@iastate.edu.

Take a trip to Tyneside: what to do in Newcastle
Stuart Forster
Updated on 06 August 2018 | 0 Comments
Whether you want museums or a heady nightlife, this city in northeast England is the perfect destination for a long weekend. Here's our day-by-day itinerary of what to do in Newcastle.
Newcastle has evolved into one of Britain's best cities for a weekend break. The nightlife on Tyneside has long been popular with those who enjoy pubbing and clubbing and now a smattering of museums, galleries and restaurants ensure it's also easy to fill a relaxing couple of days in northeast England.
Georgian stone facades dominate the city centre which was built in part by Richard Grainger and carry his name. More than 200 of Grainger Town's 450 buildings are listed. The demise of the northeast's heavy industry was followed by sandblasting – and a rise in civic pride, aided by the revamping of the indoor Grainger Market, which houses more than 110 independent businesses, and the Theatre Royal.
A post shared by Newcastle Theatre Royal (@newcastletheatreroyal) on Nov 15, 2017 at 2:38am PST
Check into: The Malmaison Newcastle hotel on the Quayside, around a 15 minute walk from Newcastle Central Station. The hip 122-room hotel is conveniently close to a handful of pubs and restaurants and overlooks the Gateshead Millennium Bridge which leads to the Sage Gateshead live music venue and Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.
Eat at: Sachins. Situated behind the railway station, Sachins serves Punjabi cuisine in a modern setting. The long-established restaurant is a hit among discerning locals who enjoy good Indian food and there's plenty of choice for vegetarians. Murgh tikka lababdar with a side of daal is a winning combination.
Have a pint in: Hop and Cleaver. Drop down to the Quayside and order a beer or cider in this rustic pub with flagstone flooring and an onsite microbrewery. If you enjoy smokehouse-style food, book a table and make a night of it.
A post shared by Hop and Cleaver (@hopandcleaver) on Sep 3, 2017 at 4:50am PDT
Visit: Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. A former flour mill on the opposite bank of the Tyne houses the multi-storey art gallery with regularly changing exhibitions by British and international contemporary artists. The restaurant on the Baltic's sixth floor, Six, has outstanding views over the Millennium and Tyne Bridges.
Stop for coffee at: Pink Lane Coffee. Choose your brew according the estate where the beans were grown and if you're hungry, go for one of the home-style cakes and pastries.
Shop: intu Eldon Square. The recently revamped shopping centre features high street stores and chain restaurants. For something special, head to the food hall of department store Fenwick to pick up a bottle of wine and gourmet snacks, including cheeses from Northumberland and artisanal bread.
A post shared by BALTICCentreForContemporaryArt (@balticgateshead) on Oct 12, 2017 at 8:10am PDT
Take afternoon tea at: Quilliam Brothers' Teahouse. This cosy café opposite Newcastle's Civic Centre serves teas and freshly-baked cakes and scones, including gluten free options. Head downstairs and cosy up in one of the leather sofas.
Visit: the Great North Museum: Hancock. Named after taxidermist John Hancock, this museum was built in the Victorian times to house a natural history collection. Animals, minerals and dinosaur fossils are still displayed alongside artefacts excavated from along Hadrian's Wall.
Have an afternoon cocktail in: Bealim House. The bar and restaurant on Gallowgate is home to Newcastle Gin Company's 400-litre still. Book in advance for tasting sessions or partake in a G and Tea, a gin-laced variation on afternoon tea. Alternatively, pop to the bar and order your favourite drink.
Dine out at: Peace & Loaf. Jump in a taxi to Jesmond, a couple of miles from the city centre, to dine at one of the region's most acclaimed restaurants. Choose the tasting menu to sample a selection of chef Dave Coulson's culinary creations or stick with the à la carte menu — it's hard to go wrong with the chicken pie followed by a boozy sorbet. Craft beer fans can also try bottles from Newcastle's Wylam Brewery.
A post shared by Discovery Museum (@discovery_mus) on Sep 18, 2015 at 12:45am PDT
Take a stroll: Walk along the Quayside to view stalls at the weekly Quayside Market, held on Sundays from 9am to 4pm beneath the Tyne Bridge. In recent years the market has been reinvented as a place to buy photos, reasonably-priced art and handicrafts from independent traders. If you're hungry, there's street food including German sausages and Thai noodles.
See: Discovery Museum. Set inside a building dating from 1899, this museum tells the story of Newcastle and the surrounding region. Exhibits encompass footage of 20th-century life in the city and industrial artefacts including the Turbinia, once the world's fastest steam ship. A fascinating permanent exhibition, Charge! The Story of England's Northern Cavalry, opened in October 2017.
Lunch at: Mr Petit. This restaurant on Old Eldon Square serves tapas-style plates inspired by global cuisines. A glass-fronted fridge holds a selection of craft beers to accompany dishes such as kedgeree arancini and lamb brik.
Drink in: Colonel Porter's Emporium. Drop down Dean Street in the direction of the Quayside and choose from cocktails like brambles with a nettle twist, served at this off-beat bar.

Like they never left: Nokia smartphones said to be making an official comeback to Kenya "soon"
Brace yourselves. Nokia is back in the Kenyan market. Or so I am learning.
According to Kaluka over at TechArena, the popular Finnish mobile phone brand, through its new "owners" HMD Global, is set to make a comeback with a launch slated for some time next week.
This will be the first time in years that Nokia will be having an official presence as far as smartphones go. With a new set of Android-powered smartphones, the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, unveiled in late February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and the Nokia 6, launched in China a month earlier, Nokia might be ready to look for a second chance. Its first chance to right the wrongs it committed earlier and exorcise the ghosts of Windows Phone, which came in early 2014 with the local unveiling of its first Android-powered smartphone, the Nokia X, failed spectacularly.
This time round, though, this is a different Nokia with just the iconic brand name and logo being a constant. HMD Global, the company behind the current global Nokia push, has licensed the name from its original owners, Nokia itself, and makes the devices in China with the help of another partner in the venture, FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of renowned iPhone parts maker Foxconn, a Chinese technology powerhouse. FIH Mobile bought from Microsoft rights to make and market Nokia-branded feature phones like the remake of the popular Nokia 3310 which stole the show at MWC.
The latest Nokia devices have been making rounds in the Kenyan market, albeit unofficially, for a while now. Avechi Kenya and several other retailers in Nairobi have had the devices on sale for quite some time. The Nokia 3310, for instance, has been going for an overpriced Kshs 10,000 through third party resellers.
Nokia has never really left the Kenyan mobile market since its bottom of the barrel devices can still be found on sale in dealer shops across the country while its outdated, disgraced and aged Windows smartphones still gather dust, lonely, rejected and abandoned, in some shops across the country.

Zemlinsky's Mirror
By Christopher Hailey, Visiting Professor, Arnold Schoenberg Institute, University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, Director, Franz Schreker Foundation
Written for the concert Opera and Oscar Wilde, performed on June 9, 2002 at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center.
In 1912 Alexander Zemlinsky asked Franz Schreker to write an opera libretto about 'the tragedy of an ugly man.' It was a tragedy Zemlinsky knew first hand. In her autobiography, Alma Mahler describes Zemlinsky as a "hideous gnome" but goes on to imply that her fascination with the man was intensified, even awakened by his repulsiveness. The erotic friction between surface appearance and inner nature was a central theme of fin-de-siécle aesthetic culture and was nowhere more keenly appreciated than in Vienna. Zemlinsky's obsession with the play of appearances, which recurs in so many of his works, links him with contemporary Viennese writers, artists, and composers ranging from Freud, Hofmannsthal, Schnitzler, and Klimt to Schreker and Berg. And this, in turn, helps account for the nearly universal veneration with which Viennese artists and intellectuals held the works of Oscar Wilde, a writer for whom masks and guises were pivotal categories of aesthetic truth.
It is quite likely that Zemlinsky already had Oscar Wilde in mind when he approached Schreker in 1912. He had conducted Richard Strauss's setting of Wilde's Salome during the 1910/11 season and admired Schreker's 1908 score for a pantomime based on Wilde's "The Birthday of the Infanta." Indeed, "The Birthday of the Infanta," the story of a misshappen dwarf who falls in love with a princess only to be shattered when he first sees his own image in a mirror, served as a principle source for Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones), the libretto Schreker wrote for Zemlinsky but then decided to set himself. Zemlinsky continued his search for an opera subject, and in the end settled on his own version of 'The Birthday of the Infanta' as Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) — but only after having first set another Wilde work, "A Florentine Tragedy."
Wilde's blank verse drama of jealousy, revenge, and reconciliation, "A Florentine Tragedy," is itself a play of appearances in which a husband and wife are reunited in passionate embrace over a lover's corpse. This surprise "happy end," with Bianca in awe of her husband's strength, Simone mesmerized by his wife's beauty, is a symbol of that tragic and eternal misunderstanding between the sexes. Wilde's play, published posthumously, is a fragment, lacking both a crucial first scene and virtually all stage directions. In 1906 and again in 1912, Giacomo Puccini considered setting the text but was dissuaded by its dramatic weaknesses. In his own setting, written between 1914 and 1916, Zemlinsky composed an extended prelude to compensate for the missing first scene and trimmed many of Simone's speeches, though they remain the heart of the work, a dramatic game of cat and mouse in which movement toward the inevitable climax is alternately accelerated and retarded. Eine florentinische Tragödie, like Salome, contains the ingredients of its explosive conclusion in a tension-laden beginning. The final bars of Zemlinsky's setting, with their combination of the love and death motives make explicit a musical relationship between eros and thanatos that has been latent from the outset.
Eine florentinische Tragödie was given its premiere in Stuttgart under Max von Schillings on January 30, 1917, followed soon thereafter by productions in Prague and Vienna. It was the fifth and most successful of Zemlinsky's seven completed operas and was a particular favorite of those closest to Zemlinsky, including his brother-in-law Arnold Schoenberg, his one-time student Alma Mahler, the composers Franz Schreker, Anton Webern, and Alban Berg, and the writer Franz Werfel. But Der Zwerg, Zemlinsky's next opera, written between 1919 and 1921, was closer to his own heart.
Zemlinsky's librettist was Georg Klaren, whose interest in the sexual characterology of Otto Weininger is reflected in his changes in Wilde's story. The Infanta, a pre-pubescent 12 years old in the original, is now 18; a sympathetic lady-in-waiting is added as a kind of mother figure; and the dwarf is transformed from an illiterate son of a charcoal-burner from a nearby forest into a cavalier and singer of renown, presented as a gift from an Oriental sultan. The dwarf's encounter with the mirror remains the central symbol of his self discovery but Klaren made clear that the underlying tragedy is precipitated by the unfulfilled erotic encounter with the cold, capricious princess. Otto Klemperer led the triumphant Cologne premiere (paired with Stravinsky's Petrouschka) on 28 May 1922, although subsequent productions in Vienna and Berlin failed to confirm the opera's initial success.
In assessing Zemlinsky's two Oscar Wilde operas one is inevitably drawn to comparisons with Strauss and Schreker. Eine florentische Tragödie has the dramatic sweep of Salome but Zemlinsky's orchestra is more restrained, his motivic material more finely detailed, and although there are themes for love and death, the composer makes little effort to develop a network of associative leitmotives. These play a more important role in Der Zwerg but the musical structure is more suite-like than symphonic, with several closed vocal and dance numbers. In sections associated with the Infanta and her entourage the texture is light, crystalline, almost Neo-Classical, and recalls the world of Schreker's pantomime, whereas the hyper-Romanticism of the dwarf's dramatic outursts give us an idea of what Zemlinsky would have done with Die Gezeichneten. Ironically, Zemlinsky's own final reckoning with the mirror was written during a time he had found happiness in a relationship with Luise Sachsel, the singer and painter who would become his second wife.

Is Scabies Caused by Being Dirty?
Scabies has been a human problem for many centuries. It goes so far back that it has even been written about by the likes of Aristotle and biblical authors. Somewhere along the way it earned a reputation as a disease that happens to people with poor hygiene. Exactly when (and why) these thoughts became mainstream is unclear, but even I can remember hearing the neighbors gossip about "dirty kids" or negligent mothers when scabies was noticed at school or play.
Regardless of when and why scabies became associated with filth, it's simply untrue. And we dedicate this article to debunking the myth that Scabies is caused by being dirty.
First, let's have a quick refresher of what a person with scabies is experiencing…because there are a lot of issues that present as scabies that are NOT scabies and vice-versa.
How Do You Get Scabies in the First Place?
Scabies is a parasitic infestation caused by close contact with the skin, clothing, or bedding of someone else who already has it. It isn't picked up from playing in the dirt or neglecting to wash your hands after an afternoon of gardening or making mud pies.
While touching someone with scabies, a tiny 8-legged mite can transfer from one individual to the other and burrow under the skin to lay its eggs. Tiny tunnels can be seen at the surface that shows where the mites have traveled. When the eggs are ready, the resulting larvae move around and cause even more itching as they rise to the surface, ready to infest another area or another victim.
The itching is not really caused by the mite, but rather it is caused by the body's delayed allergic response to the mite and its larvae. This is why it can take weeks after an infestation for symptoms to appear.
How Scabies Presents
As with most other mites and parasites of the world, the mites that cause scabies prefer moisture and dampness. A person with scabies experiences pimple-like rashes, mostly in the body's warm, moist nooks and crannies, but they can appear anywhere except on an adult's head.
Infants often have scabies on their heads, diaper area and the soles of their feet. The rash itches relentlessly and can be so bad that sleep is impossible and the skin can be etched with wounds by fingernails' incessant scratching
What Kind of Contact is Needed to Catch Scabies?
A simple handshake or hug 'could' provide a route for the mites to travel to a new host, but more prolonged contact is more likely to result in an infestation. The mites are microscopic, so you won't see this happening. Sexual activity and wearing an infested person's recently removed clothing or sleeping in their bed can be other ways to get it. You'll be relieved to know that the mite doesn't jump through the air or swim.
Can You Get Scabies Twice?
Because it's an infestation and not an infection, scabies doesn't provide its host with antibodies to protect against it and it can recur again and again unless measures are taken to remove and kill all the mites and larvae on the body and in the environment. Subsequent infestations take much less time to start itching because the body's allergic response to it is already in place. However, the symptoms are just as bad as the first time one has it.
How Is Scabies Treated and Re-Infestation Prevented?
There are prescription medicated creams and salves that kill mites, their eggs and larvae. No over-the-counter lotions or creams are not always reported as being effective, but the severity of the infestation could be a determining factor.
Medications are typically applied from an adult patient's neck to their toes. In infants, the head is included in the treatment. The lotion is left on the body for 8 to 12 hours, so many people put it on just before bed and wash it off just after rising.
In a family setting, all members should be treated. Persons living in close quarters like prisons, nursing homes, orphanages and schools all need to be treated as well to avoid re-infestation. In addition, all suspicious clothes and bedding must be washed in hot, soapy water or dry-cleaned.
More good news: the mites only survive a few days to a week without residing on a human body, so laundry and suspicious items can also be sealed in a plastic bag for a week or so to starve them to death.
Can Our Pets Get Scabies?
Dog scabies mites are different from human mites, but the infestation looks the same and if left untreated can cause severe mange. Many stray dogs carry it and it can easily travel within a shelter. While pet mites can be transferred to a human, the mites can't survive on human skin, so there's no danger of getting it from your Fido or Fluffy. The same precautions and treatment with veterinary scabicides will end the infestation. Pet beds and blankets must all be washed in order to stop infestation.
Is Scabies Dangerous?
While scabies doesn't directly pose a risk to the host's life, there are problems that can occur that might threaten long-term health and morbidity:
Secondary infections caused by scratching the skin until it's open and/or bleeding. These can include fungal infection or infections caused by staph or strep bacteria, such as impetigo, another fiercely maligned disease. If left untreated these infections can lead to sepsis (infected blood) and cellulitis (serious tissue infection) and result in amputations and even death. They must be treated with antibiotics.
Crusted, or Norwegian scabies, is a very severe form that occurs in high risk individuals like HIV patients and other people with compromised immune systems. Older people and diabetics are also at risk. Crusted scabies causes thick, gray or red plaques covering hands and other infested parts of the body. It's caused by the same mite that causes regular scabies, but instead of 10-15 mites on the body, there are thousands or even millions. Norwegian scabies needs to be treated aggressively, likely with drugs like ivervectin, which can carry a potential of toxicity to the patient but are the most effective in eradicating the mites.
Is Scabies Caused by Being Dirty: By now it should be clear that scabies is a disease of opportunistic, microscopic mites, not one caused by a failure to stay clean or use good hygiene. The infestation impacts all levels of society, all nationalities and ages.
At any given time around the world, there are an estimated 300 million people infected with the parasite. Some medical groups suspect there are many more because the infestation is not always reported. It is found everywhere in all climates, and travels internationally on planes and boats.
There is no vaccine and successful treatment is dependent on careful and complete eradication of the mite in places where it appears.

Analysis of the second round of interviews with student participating in the Hazelwood Health Study (HHS) Schools Study has revealed that while the majority of the participants reported little to no ongoing concerns, some students reported ongoing issues.
According to Psychological Impacts stream lead Dr Matthew Carroll, this included dreaming about the event, feeling more restless, and attempting to avoid thinking about the event by distracting themselves with other activities.
The study aimed to assess the psychological impacts of six weeks of exposure to smoke and ash from the Hazelwood mine fire on school aged children. Researchers analysed the results of the face to face interviews held in 2017 with 46 students in grades 5, 7 and 9.
"While these findings are in line with what we found from the first round, a clear theme that emerged in this new analysis was that most students had 'moved on' from the Hazelwood event," said Dr Carroll.
The report includes several suggestions from the students about how to respond to a future event, including the need for clearer communication with students on the potential impacts of the event and what they can do to look after themselves and their families.
According to Dr Carroll, the findings from across the different streams of the Hazelwood Health Study is continuing to shed light on the impacts of exposure to the smoke event and should inform any communications relating to a future event.
Analysis of Schools Study survey data and other educational data is continuing and will help evaluate any ongoing impacts of the Hazelwood event.
New findings from the Hazelwood Health Study (HHS) show an overall increase in ambulance attendances during the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire period.
Using data supplied by Ambulance Victoria for Morwell and surrounding towns, the analysis showed a 15% increased likelihood of ambulance attendances for all conditions during the mine fire period when compared to other times before and after the mine fire.
"When we looked into respiratory conditions specifically, we found there was a 41% increase in ambulance attendances during the mine fire period, compared to ambulance attendances before and after the mine fire," HHS researcher Associate Professor Yuming Guo said.
Researchers from the Monash University-led Hazelwood Health Study will be conducting further analyses using ambulance attendances, hospital admissions, emergency presentations and cancer datasets.
For more information about the Hazelwood Health Study, visit hazelwoodhealthstudy.org.au This research was funded by the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services.
A Hazelwood Health Study analysis has found weak evidence for a link between higher mine fire smoke exposure and small increases in lung stiffness in children who were aged up to two at the time of the fire. Lung stiffness was one of three indicators of lung health that were measured in the study.
The analysis also found weak evidence for a link between higher mine fire smoke exposure in children who were aged up to two at the time of the mine fire and slightly increased blood vessel stiffness, although these changes were very small.
Reassuringly, no associations were seen between mine fire smoke exposure and any of these health outcomes in children whose mothers were pregnant with them at the time of the fire. However the research did show that cigarette smoking during pregnancy was clearly linked with both blood vessel and lung changes in children.
HHS researcher Dr Fay Johnston cautioned that although the results were suggestive of a possible link between mine fire smoke exposure during infancy and lung or blood vessel health, the evidence was not strong.
"We cannot rule out the possibility that the results occurred by chance, or were due to other unmeasured factors that can affect blood vessel or lung health," Dr Johnston said.
The lung tests were carried out on 105 children. They involved using small vibrations to see how easily air goes in and out while children breathed through a tube. The heart tests involved using ultrasounds to test the blood vessel thickness and stiffness of 248 children.
The research team estimated how much mine fire smoke each child had been exposed to by looking at where the child (or mother if pregnant at the time) was each day during the fire and how polluted the air in the area was.
This analysis was conducted by the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania as part of the larger, Monash University-led Hazelwood Health Study.
The Hazelwood Health Study has completed an investigation of the impacts of the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire on wellbeing, educational outcomes, and teaching practices for students and staff at a specialist school which relocated during the smoke event.
"We would like to thank all teachers and administrative staff who gave their time to describe their experiences of the smoke event," Monash University researcher Dr Emily Berger said.
Dr Berger said that analysis of the interviews with students suggested that the smoke event had adversely impacted on student wellbeing, including increased feelings of anxiety and frustration, difficulty adjusting to the relocation environment, a reduced sense of safety, as well as increased levels of stress at home.
School staff also experienced anxiety and frustration around the event, particularly in relation to having concerns for themselves and their families at the same time as working hard to look after their students.
On a positive note, Dr Berger said that relocating the school during the event had reduced exposure to smoke for students and teachers, and that the school had been proactive in its response by taking the opportunity to engage students in a variety of outdoor activities away from the smoke.
Social media played a vital role filling in the information gaps during the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire, the Hazelwood Health Study has found.
Researchers studied how community-initiated Facebook groups emerged during the mine fire event and were used by the community to comment on the emergency response and to share a range of self-sourced information.
The study focused on three Facebook groups that became active during the 2014 mine fire – The Air that we Breathe, Occupy Latrobe, and Voices of the Valley.
"A key theme to come from the research is the close relationship between the quality of the information provided during the emergency and the extent to which organisations are trusted," researcher Dr Sue Yell said.
"The community perceived official information sources as inadequate and untrustworthy, and used social media to fill the information gap.
Social media's role in community empowerment and engagement was another key theme to appear from the research.
"Social media during the mine fire was used to fulfil an advocacy role and a watchdog function, holding organisations to account on matters of public safety," Dr Yell said.
She said there was a division over whether the prominent voices on social media could speak on behalf of the community.
"Social media can empower communities but they can't necessarily overcome existing divisions," Dr Yell said.
The study will next look at the principles for optimal communication in events similar to the mine fire. These principles will be provided to organisations to help inform and improve their crisis communication policies.
"A better understanding of how communities use social media during a disaster can help inform the way government departments and emergency managers communicate with a community during a disaster, and can assist them to improve their own use of social media," Dr Yell said.
This analysis was conducted by Federation University Australia researchers as part of the larger, Monash University-led Hazelwood Health Study.

These elections get their ever-so-poetic name from the fact they are midway through a presidential term of four years and are viewed as a referendum on the sitting president and his party. So, it's expected voters will get cranky.
Some say the midterms are bellwethers for the presidential election, two years away, but you shouldn't be too sure about that.
In 2010, President Obama lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives, giving control to the Republicans, and an additional six seats in the Senate. (Yes, if you got these results in a parliamentary system like the UK you would have to form a new government.
Obama, of course, went on to win in 2012 with a good margin.
So are these elections important? In short, yes. In a system that separates the executive branch, the judiciary and the legislative branch, it's already hard enough for a president to round up votes from members of his own party. President Bill Clinton for example notoriously failed to pass healthcare reform his first year in office even though Democrats controlled the legislature. It's even harder if the opposition party controls the legislature.
Right now, the Republicans control the U.S. House of Representatives (think House of Commons). The U.S. Senate (think House of Lords if you elected them and they had to vote to approve everything the House of Commons did) is controlled by the Democrats.
The Democrats, however, are likely to lose the Senate after the midterms, if you believe conventional wisdom.
Why? President Obama is unpopular at the moment and many of the Senate elections are taking place in 'red states', states that vote for the Republican presidential candidate.
So if you're understandably confused, fear not. Here are five things you need to know about the 2014 elections that might make the Wednesday morning headlines make more sense.
1. Voting rights are at stake.
There are a few things to be aware of here. First, running elections, including creating Congressional districts, is the job of the state and not the federal government. You can probably see where this is going. Republicans in particular want to make sure it's their people counting the votes.
Texas has a new voter ID law that opponents claim will disenfranchise up to 600,000 voters. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, has upheld the law. The National Commission on Voting Rights has named Texas the worst state in the country for voting rights, by the way.
In Kansas and Georgia, Republican party officials have refused to accept thousands of voter registrations. Republicans claim they are fighting fraud but Democrats say they tetracycline antibiotics online haven't seen proof of any fraud. Into this mix add race; critics say many of these voter laws target minorities and the poor.
2. Control of the upper legislature is at stake.
Yes, I've said this but I'm saying it again. To spell it out, the Democrats have controlled the Senate for eight years and currently have a majority of 55 seats to the Republicans' 45 seats. This election the Democrats have to defend 21 seats and nine of those seats are in states that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
They could still hang onto the Senate; early voting looks good for the Democrats, but it's going to be tough going.
3. It will be the most expensive midterm election in history.
The numbers aren't in but it's a pretty safe bet. Every election is always the most expensive election of its kind until the next election, which will then be the most expensive election of its kind. I wish I were joking but I'm not.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that money is speech and you can't restrict speech, and therefore corporations, non-profits, unions, and individuals can't have their campaign donations limited. Predictably the money spent on elections, much of it going to TV advertising, keeps going up.
This year in Alaska both sides in the Senate race have ripped into the other side for taking out advertisements paid for with money they got from accepting outside contributions.
4. Watch the Governor's race in Kansas and Wisconsin.
In Kansas, incumbent Republican Gov. Sam Brownback cut taxes to the bone to cheers until spending cuts and a rising budget deficit made him vulnerable to his Democratic challenger Paul Davis. People like tax cuts but they also quite like schools too, it seems.
In Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker broke the back of the unions, showing himself to be a bit of a Mrs Thatcher without a handbag, survived a recall vote and now faces a challenge from Democrat Mary Burke. The New Republic says the Walker race is the most important.
5. Even political journalists think this election is boring.
Note they're not saying it's unimportant, just that it hasn't been the most exciting.
I'm referring to a comment made by David Brooks, columnist for the New York Times, on NPR (National Public Radio, our version of BBC 4). He flat out said the election was boring and hoped that there weren't any runoffs because he was tired of covering it.
E. J. Dionne, columnists from the Washington Post, agreed with Brooks. Also speaking on NPR, he said voters felt like they had to choose between 'bombastic and pretentious'.
But hey, you never know, there could be some surprises.


The DMK on Sunday decided to join the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the centre and settle for three cabinet berths – setting at rest the wrangling over ministry sharing with the Congress.
"The problem (over ministerial berths) is resolved. We are joining (the UPA government)," a senior DMK leader said here.

Zoom Fatigue Sets In Early
Zoom Video Communications' winter won't be one of discontent. Spring might be another story.
The videoconferencing provider that has become an investor darling during the pandemic posted another blowout quarterly report Monday afternoon. Revenue more than quadrupled on a year-over-year basis to $777 million for the fiscal third quarter ended Oct. 31, exceeding the company's already-robust projection by 13%. Zoom also projected similar growth for its fourth quarter ending in January and expects to close out the fiscal year…
S&P Global Nears Deal to Buy IHS Markit for About $44 Billion
S&P Global Inc. is nearing a deal to acquire IHS Markit Ltd. for about $44 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, a landmark deal that would combine two of the largest providers of data to Wall Street.
The all-stock deal, which at that price would be the largest of the year, could be announced as soon as Monday, the people said. There is always a chance the talks could fall apart at the last minute.
The Economy Is Still Vulnerable. Trade Could Be a Refuge.
Only a year ago, trade was a big worry for investors, and the strong domestic economy a source of comfort. How times change.
The median estimate among analysts is still that the U.S. economy will expand 4% in the final quarter relative to the third. Vaccines under development also raise the prospect of a quicker end to the pandemic, which could help unlock some extra capital spending and hiring. But at the same time, signs of weakness are creeping into the labor market and Covid-19 cases are surging. In the eurozone, the economy is likely to contract again.
Amid so
Oil Prices Seen Remaining Subdued Into 2021
Oil prices are expected to remain subdued into the new year, with murky prospects for the global economy and supply of crude weighing on the outlook.
Futures for West Texas Intermediate, the U.S. benchmark for oil, will likely be about $43.25 a barrel in the first quarter, according to a survey of 10 investment banks, suggesting the market will remain within a narrow band. WTI futures slid 0.4% to $45.53 a barrel Friday.
Next week's meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners, at which the alliance will decide on production levels from January, will determine
The Dollar Is Weak. Investors Bet It Will Slide Even More.
The dollar hit its lowest levels against a basket of currencies in more than two years this week—and investors think it'll fall further.
The consensus view of a falling dollar is based on a big assumption: Covid-19 will be more or less conquered in the months ahead. Vaccines will allow economies around the world to return to normal within the next year, encouraging investors to step back from the relative safety of U.S. assets and invest in stocks, bonds and currencies outside the U.S.

People preparing to hike in state parks across Arizona soon will be able to check out the route before they ever hit the trail.
Arizona State Parks and Trails says it's working with Google to capture footage of more than 175 miles of trails in state parks. Staff members spent six weeks walking the trails while carrying the Google R7 Trekker Camera to capture a 360-degree view of the trail, the department said in a news release.
The department says the data will allow visitors understand trail difficulty and topography, along with what they can expect to see along each route. It's also helped the department identify trails in need of maintenance or repair.
Arizona State Parks and Trails will send the data to Google once it's all been collected. It then will be processed and uploaded to Google Maps and Google Earth for free use by the public.
To find a state park near you, visit the Arizona State Parks and Trails website.

I'm sure nothing sinister would ever be cooked up by the Masters of the Universe at Google. Pretty sure Cactus Ed would take strong measures against this.

Q: Validation Rule-If Active checkbox in unchecked, then Reason for cancellation is mandatory Applicable only to record type End Client This is the Validation for Account Object -Person Account
If Active checkbox in unchecked, then Reason for cancellation is mandatory
Applicable only to record type End Client
And I have written the answer as follow but it's not working
AND(
PersonContact.Account.RecordType.DeveloperName = "End Client",
 IF(Active__c = FALSE,
NOT(ISBLANK( TEXT( Reason_for_Cancellation__c ) )),
ISBLANK(TEXT( Reason_for_Cancellation__c ) )
)
)

A: For sure the first problem you have concerned the record type developer name "End Client" because space character is not allowed for a developername. So try the developer name "End_Client" or to be sure check in the SF setting the developer name of this developer name.
Secondly, I am also surprised because you check the record type concerning the account of "PersonContact" lookup and not the record type of the direct account (but maybe its your need).
So try that :
AND(
PersonContact.Account.RecordType.DeveloperName = "End_Client",
NOT(Active__c),
ISBLANK(TEXT( Reason_for_Cancellation__c ) )
)

Or if you want to check the record type of the account record that :
AND(
RecordType.DeveloperName = "End_Client",
NOT(Active__c),
ISBLANK(TEXT( Reason_for_Cancellation__c ) )
)

And if it doesn't work check the RecordType API Name in your SF Setup

A: Thanks for your Response and its correct .But the error was with my Logic.
And here I would like to share the answer which worked for me.
AND(
RecordType.Name = "End Client",
ISBLANK(TEXT( Reason_for_Cancellation__c )),
Active__c = FALSE
)

Q: Prove that, $f'(0) \ge -\sqrt{2}$ for a function $f$ satisfying some conditions on $(-1,1)$.
Let $f:(-1,1)\to \mathbb{R}$ be a twice differentiable function such that, $f(0)=1$, $f'(x)≤0$, $f(x)≥0$ and $f''(x)≤f(x)$ for all $x≥0$. Prove that, $f'(0)≥-\sqrt2$

Progress: I was able to prove $f'(0)≥-2$. For this I have applied Cauchy MVT for $f'$ and $g$ on $[0,x]$ for any $x\in (0,1)$ where $g: [0,x]\to\mathbb{R}$ is defined by, $g(x)=\sqrt{x+1}$. But, couldn't find another approach to get $-\sqrt{2}$.

A: As @JackD'Aurizio has already mentioned in comment to the other answer, a possible lower bound is:

$$f'(0) \ge -\coth 1$$

One way to get it, starting from
$$\begin{align}f''(x) \le f(x) &\implies e^{x}(f'(x)+f''(x)) \le e^{x}(f(x)+f'(x))\\& \implies \frac{d}{dx}(e^x f'(x)) \le \frac{d}{dx}(e^xf(x))\,\,\,\textrm{ [integrating both sides from $0$ to $x$] } \\&\implies f(0) - f'(0) \le e^{x}(f(x)-f'(x)) \\&\implies e^{-2x}(1-f'(0)) \le \frac{d}{dx}(-e^{-x}f(x)) \,\,\,\textrm{ [integrating both sides from $0$ to $x$] }\\&\implies \frac{1}{2}(1-e^{-2x})(1-f'(0)) \le f(0) - e^{-x}f(x)\\& \implies 0 \le f(x) \le e^{x} + (f'(0) - 1)\sinh x\\&\implies -\coth x \le f'(0)\end{align}$$
Supremum of LHS is attained at $x = 1$ for $x \in (0,1)$.
Note that if we were to use $f'(x) \le 0$, that would further give us:
$$\sup_{x \in [0,1)} f(x) = f(0) = 1 \le \sup_{x \in [0,1)} e^{x} + (f'(0) - 1)\sinh x$$
Then I guess we'd have to check if it's an improvement on the previous bound or not.

A: Initially I had posted a solution but it was incorrect. Here's a final solution. Beautiful problem, by the way.
For any $x\in(0,1)$, we can write, for some $c\in(0,x)$ that $f(x)=f(0)+f'(0)x+\dfrac{f''(c)x^2}{2}\leq 1+f'(0)x+\dfrac{f(c)x^2}{2}\leq1 + f'(0)x +\dfrac{x^2}{2}$ since $f(x)\leq1$ for $x\in(0,1)$.
Now using $f''(x)\leq f(x)$ we see that $f''(x)\leq f'(0)x + \dfrac{x^2}{2}+1$. Integrating both sides from $0$ to $x$ we have,
$f'(x)-f'(0)\leq \dfrac{f'(0)x^2}{2}+x+\dfrac{x^3}{6}$ and again integrate from $0$ to $x$ for any $x\in(0,1)$. We get $f'(0)(x+\dfrac{x^3}{6})\geq-\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{24}+f(x)-f(0)\geq-\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{24}-1$
Finally we have $$f'(0)\geq \dfrac{-\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{24}-1}{x+\dfrac{x^3}{6}}$$for any $x\in(0,1)$.
Note that the function on the right side is increasing and achieves its maximum at $x=1$, where its value is $\dfrac{-37}{28}>-\sqrt{2}$.
Hence $f'(0)\geq \sup_{x\in(0,1)}\dfrac{-\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{x^4}{24}-1}{x+\dfrac{x^3}{6}}=\dfrac{-37}{28}>-\sqrt{2}$.

The Beginner's Guide to Anime, No. 6 – One Piece
31 May 2013 26 October 2016
This week's article perfectly illustrates how little attention Britain gives to anime, because today I am covering the most popular anime series of them all and it has only been released in Britain on DVD this week.
One Piece began as a manga comic in 1997, as an anime TV series in 1999, and it is still going today. Because a new episode is broadcast about once a week, One Piece has produced more episodes than The Simpsons despite being ten years younger than it, and will approach episode 600 in June. The manga has produced nearly 70 print volumes and has sold over a quarter of a billion copies.
In America they started releasing DVDs of the series in 2006. We Brits have only just got it, after years of waiting and demanding. So, what is it about and why should anyone who is not an anime fan buy it?
One Piece is set in a world dominated by pirates. The "One Piece" in the title is the most valuable treasure in the world, which "King of the Pirates" Gol D. Roger found. He was later caught and executed, but not before saying that anyone who can find the "One Piece" will become the new pirate king. Thus every pirate is trying to find the mysterious treasure and claim the title.
Amongst these are the "Straw Hat Pirates" led by Monkey D. Luffy and named after his favourite item of clothing. Monkey is no ordinary pirate however. As a child he ate a cursed "Devil Fruit", which causes the consumer to gain powers at the price of sinking like a stone in water. In Monkey's case, he ate the "Gum Gum Fruit" which allows him to stretch his body like rubber, thus making him invulnerable to most attacks.
The story follows Monkey as he travels the world, trying to find the "One Piece", defeating villains and slowly assembling his crew. His crew eventually comes to consist of three-bladed swordsman Roronoa Zoro; navigator and thief Nami; tall-tale-telling sniper Ussop; womanising cook Sanji; doctor and anthropomorphic reindeer Tony Tony Chopper; arm-sprouting archaeologist Nico Robin; cyborg shipwright Franky; and skeletal musician Brook.
There are plenty of reasons to try out One Piece. For starters there are the characters. The entire main crew are lovable, but Monkey especially is a great creation and has since become a template for similar anime characters. He is almost completely unstoppable in getting what he wants. If he spots a villain then you can be sure that he and the crew will do anything to stop them. Also, because of Monkey's rubber-like properties you do get a lot of variations on the fights.
This is just as well because the fight sequences do form several large arcs in the series. A whole battle for example can last for what seems like dozen episodes at a time. Some people might be put off by such a long plot, but I would argue that you just need to put yourself in the right mind-set. We already have TV shows in this country which have long plots than span over several episodes. Look at any soap opera. One Piece and other anime like it are just soap operas except the fighting is more fun. It is a soap opera which men and boys can enjoy, unlike just about every single soap opera in Britain which is aimed at women.
It has to be said however that over around 600 episodes there are times at which the series gets a bit tiresome, and other episodes are just "filler" between arcs. However, for most of the time One Piece is jolly good fun.
The first DVD collection in Region 2, featuring the first 26 episodes, is out now, with more releases later in the year.

Kolo Toure is resigned to leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, while Gareth Barry is also waiting for news on his future.
The 32-year-old Ivory Coast central defender, Toure, who joined City from Arsenal in summer 2009 for a £16million transfer fee, has gradually slipped down boss Roberto Mancini's pecking order at the Etihad Stadium, making just eight Premier League starts so far this term.
Toure's place in the side has been taken by Vincent Kompany and Matija Nastasic, with England international Joleon Lescott also battling for a central defensive berth.
As a result he has not been offered a new deal to stay so Toure is resigned to leaving although he would like to stay in the Premier League if the chance arises.
Meanwhile, 32-year-old England midfielder, Barry, is also waiting to see if he will be kept on at City by Mancini as his current contract is entering its final year.
Barry, who joined from Aston Villa in a £12million deal in 2009, is reportedly hoping to be handed a new deal which will enable him to see out his career at the club. But, as yet, nothing has been forthcoming from City officials.

Waterloo International Terminal
Wessex Capacity Alliance
The project directive is to undertake alterations to the existing Waterloo International train platforms (Formerly served by Eurostar trains) in order for it to be served by domestic trains which will increase passenger capacity by 20%.
Works involved alterations to the track slabs, platforms, arrival and departure levels, as well as the creation of new passenger footbridges and concourse areas. The project is expected to be completed by December 2018 and will provide the biggest package of improvements to London Waterloo since the 1930s.
Work Involves Rebuilding the former Waterloo International Terminal and bringing platforms 20–24 back into use with modern facilities, new track and signalling, and a layout that meets the needs of thousands of passengers.
Extending platforms 1–4 to allow longer 10-carriage trains – instead of the current eight-carriage ones – to run to London suburban stations for the first time in the busiest periods. The platforms at Ascot, Bracknell, Camberley, Chertsey, Egham, Feltham, Martins Heron, Sunningdale, Virginia Water and Wokingham will also be extended to accommodate these longer trains.
Creating a spacious, modern and accessible station concourse near platforms 20–24.
