Delta Air Lines' subsidiary Monroe Energy L.L.C. has signed a five-year agreement with a Texas-based company, Bridger L.L.C., to receive 65,000 barrels of domestic crude a day at its oil refinery in Trainer, Delaware County. The contract will supply about one-third of the crude refined daily at the former ConocoPhillips refinery, which Delta bought in 2012. The Trainer refinery supplies Delta's Northeast operations with jet fuel, the largest and most volatile expense for airlines.

US Airways Group Inc. and Delta Air Lines said Tuesday they closed a deal to swap some takeoff and landing rights at New York's LaGuardia Airport and Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport. At Reagan, US Airways, the dominant carrier in Philadelphia, acquired 42 Delta slots, which translate into round-trip flights, along with international rights to fly to Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 2015. Delta will also pay $66.5 million to US Airways. In return, Delta acquired 132 slots at LaGuardia, to increase its presence in New York, where it has a hub at John F. Kennedy Airport.

The oil refinery in Trainer owned by Delta Air Lines received its first shipment of Bakken crude oil from North Dakota on Feb. 12. The test shipment traveled in more than 100 rail cars to Albany, N.Y., where it was moved to a ship, and transported to Delta's docks in Trainer. "We are still evaluating our crude sourcing options. We don't currently have a facility to off-load from rail at Trainer," Delta spokesman Trebor Banstetter said. "If we decide to go ahead fully into the Bakken to get our crude, then we would invest in some rail facilities there, and it would come by rail all the way to the refinery.

Surging fuel costs hampered US Airways Group and Delta Air Lines in the first quarter, with both airlines reporting losses Tuesday. US Airways said that traffic and revenue were up during the first three months, but that rising fuel costs, winter weather, and the Japan crisis weighed on results. Philadelphia's dominant airline posted a loss of $114 million, or 71 cents a share - more than double the $45 million loss, or 28 cents a share, a year ago. "Our first-quarter results were clearly impacted by the extremely high price of oil," said US Airways chief executive officer Doug Parker.

US Airways Group Inc. said Monday that Hurricane Sandy hurt October revenue by $30 million, and reduced October profit by $15 million. Philadelphia's dominant airline, transporting nearly 70 percent of air travelers, said that November earnings will be hurt by about $20 million because of the storm. The airline said given the impact on travel in the Northeast total bookings fell by 13 percent in the days leading up to, and after, the storm between Oct. 24 and Nov. 3, compared with the same period last year.
December 16, 2011
Delta Air Lines Inc. will begin four daily flights between Philadelphia and New York's LaGuardia airport on July 11 as part of an expansion in New York because it is swapping some takeoff and landing rights with US Airways Group Inc. Delta will operate flights from here to New York at 7 a.m., 10:45 a.m., 2 p.m., and 5:45 p.m., and flights leaving LaGuardia for Philadelphia at 9 a.m., 12 noon, 4 p.m., and 8:05 p.m. daily. Delta said Friday it will spend $100 million to expand LaGuardia's C and D terminals, which will be connected by a 600-foot bridge.

US Airways Group Inc. announced Tuesday it will begin nonstop daily seasonal summer service from Philadelphia to Salt Lake City on May 24. Additionally, US Airways will add another daily frequency on March 25 between Philadelphia and St Louis, Mo.; Nashville, Tenn., Houston; Albany, N.Y.; Bangor, Maine; and Indianapolis. Separately, US Airways announced new daily flights at Washington Reagan National airport, where it acquired some takeoff and landing rights from Delta Air Lines.

Delta Air Lines said Tuesday its refinery in Trainer, Delaware County, posted a $3 million profit for the three months ended Sept. 30. It was the first quarterly profit since Delta bought the former ConocoPhillips refinery last year to supply itself with jet fuel. "We have a tremendous opportunity with the Trainer refinery," Delta CEO Richard Anderson told investors on a conference call discussing third-quarter financial results. "Importantly, the refinery's production has proven to be effective in keeping jet cracks in check, particularly in the New York harbor.

Have you ever been on a plane and wondered if your luggage made the flight? Now, US Airways passengers can track their checked bags - in real time - by going to the US Airways website, and typing in bag claim information. US Airways rolled out the service on all flights March 19. It is information the airline already had for internal purposes. Delta Air Lines was the first U.S. carrier to launch real-time baggage tracking. Passengers can go to the Delta website or download a free app to pull up information from the bar code on their bag-claim ticket.

A Delta Air Lines bid to buy the idled ConocoPhillips refinery in Trainer to satisfy its enormous thirst for jet fuel appears to be gaining momentum, industry observers say. According to reports, the Delta board of directors has endorsed a plan to bid on the refinery, one of three Philadelphia fuel-processing facilities that face closure because of poor profits. Two others are owned by Sunoco Inc. of Philadelphia, which is exiting the refining business this year altogether. Prospective buyers face a May 2 deadline for a second round of bidding on the 185,000-barrel-a-day ConocoPhillips refinery, Tom Kloza, publisher of Oil Price Information Service, reported Monday.


Welcome to our comprehensive guide on energy-efficient cooling systems for a greener home. As the scorching heat of summer approaches, it’s crucial to find ways to beat the heat while minimizing our impact on the environment. In this article, we will explore various cooling systems that not only keep your home comfortable but also help reduce energy consumption. By implementing these energy-efficient solutions, you can create a more sustainable living space while saving money on your utility bills.
Understanding the Importance of Energy-Efficient Cooling
Before we delve into different cooling systems, it’s essential to understand why energy efficiency matters. Traditional cooling systems consume a significant amount of electricity, contributing to high energy bills and environmental pollution. By opting for energy-efficient alternatives, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
The Benefits of Energy-Efficient Cooling Systems
Energy-efficient cooling systems offer several advantages, both for the environment and homeowners:
- Lower Energy Consumption: Energy-efficient cooling systems consume less electricity, resulting in reduced energy bills and long-term cost savings.
- Environmental Preservation: By minimizing energy consumption, these systems help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Energy-efficient cooling systems often come with advanced filtration systems that remove allergens, pollutants, and other harmful particles from the air, ensuring a healthier living environment.
- Enhanced Comfort: These systems are designed to provide consistent and optimal cooling, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the day.
- Extended Lifespan: Energy-efficient cooling systems are built to last, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Exploring Energy-Efficient Cooling Systems
Now let’s delve into the different types of energy-efficient cooling systems available for your home.
1. High-Efficiency Air Conditioners
Air conditioners are a popular choice for cooling homes, but not all units are created equal in terms of energy efficiency. Look for air conditioners with a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating, which indicates their efficiency level. Opt for models with a SEER rating of 14 or higher for optimal energy savings.
2. Heat Pumps
Heat pumps are versatile cooling and heating systems that can efficiently cool your home in summer and keep it warm during winter. These systems work by transferring heat from one area to another, rather than generating it. Look for heat pumps with high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) ratings and Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) ratings for maximum energy efficiency.
3. Evaporative Coolers
Evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, are a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to traditional air conditioners. These systems use the natural process of evaporation to cool the air, making them ideal for dry climates. Evaporative coolers consume significantly less electricity compared to air conditioners, making them an eco-friendly choice.
4. Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are a simple yet effective way to cool your home while reducing energy consumption. By circulating the air in the room, they create a cooling effect, allowing you to set your air conditioner at a higher temperature without sacrificing comfort. Look for energy-efficient ceiling fans with the ENERGY STAR label for optimal performance.
5. Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Ductless mini-split systems offer a flexible and energy-efficient cooling solution for homes without ductwork. These systems consist of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor units, allowing you to control the temperature in individual rooms. Ductless mini-split systems are highly efficient, as they eliminate energy losses associated with ductwork.
6. Smart Thermostats
Pairing your cooling system with a smart thermostat can further enhance energy efficiency. Smart thermostats allow you to set customized cooling schedules, adjust temperature remotely, and even learn your preferences over time. By optimizing your cooling system’s usage, you can minimize energy waste and reduce your carbon footprint.
7. Passive Cooling Techniques
In addition to energy-efficient cooling systems, implementing passive cooling techniques can further improve your home’s energy efficiency. These techniques include:
- Insulation: Proper insulation prevents heat transfer, keeping your home cool in summer and warm in winter.
- Window Treatments: Installing blinds, curtains, or reflective window films can reduce heat gain from sunlight.
- Natural Ventilation: Opening windows strategically to allow cross ventilation can help cool your home without relying solely on cooling systems.
- Shading: Planting trees or installing awnings can provide shade and reduce the amount of direct sunlight reaching your home.
In conclusion, adopting energy-efficient cooling systems is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your wallet. By opting for high-efficiency air conditioners, heat pumps, evaporative coolers, ceiling fans, ductless mini-split systems, and smart thermostats, you can significantly reduce your energy consumption and carbon footprint. Additionally, implementing passive cooling techniques can further enhance the efficiency of your cooling system. So, beat the heat this summer while embracing sustainability and creating a greener home for a brighter future!

On view at Smack Mellon until Sunday, April 21
Katie Bell: A Place for Everything and Everything in Its Place/Austin Ballard: Shadow Lake
Both artists create work inspired by the designed and built environment but adopt their own unique approaches. Katie Bell takes discarded and readymade objects to construct immense assemblages that match the industrial scale of Smack Mellon's building. Austin Ballard, on the other hand, turns his focus onto household objects, specifically light fixtures and lampshades, to create a more intimate setting that resembles a suburban domestic interior. In both of these projects, however, the artists call attention to the way that architecture and design objects shape-whether dramatically or subtly-how we see and respond to the world.

Information about Different Types of Conference Technology
The manner in which a person can choose to pass information to different people can differ depending on various factors. The size of the audience to be addressed can help one to determine the equipment they would require. One of these methods which is used a lot is conferencing as it allows for parties to deliberate and discuss the information at a hand. With the rise in the applicability of technology, there are new ways of conducting conferences including video conferences that allows the parties to participate even without being in one geographical location at the time.
There are several input devises which need to be used in order for conferences to be a success such as microphones. There are also other input devices such as players of Compact Disks. One also requires output devices such as amplifiers, display screens, whiteboards, interactive screens among others. These equipment play a major role in ensuring that communication is at its best thus making the conference to be a success.
The microphones in particular can be custom made for use in conferences as they have different workability from normal recording microphones. Conference microphones have a feature that allows them to be connected to the same cable and then to the set number of output devises which many a time are lesser in number than the input devises. These kind of microphones are available in different types that can allows varying modes of use such as the manual mode in which the microphone usage is regulated by the facilitator who chooses who is going to talk or yet another mode like the automatic mode where the user just requires to switch one the microphone if they need to use it. The microphones used in in conferences also … Read More..Read More →

I'm what is called a highly motivated patient. Because of my age, 40, doctors choose to treat invasive lobular carcinoma in a very aggressive way. Radical mastectomies, heavy rounds of chemo, radiation - all of these are being used to bombard the cancer and beat it into submission.
One of the most frightening aspects of having breast cancer is that we have to trust our doctors. Pure strangers, and they hold our lives in their hands. These people guide the life and death decisions that I'm making right now. And I can't trust them blindly.
Why? They're human and can make mistakes. Case in point. My tumor was missed by the mammogram, sonogram, and MRI - the very machine that was used to help us make a decision about the left side. My MRI on the right breast, my "bad" breast, came back normal. It wasn't normal. And it wasn't the machine's fault. It was the technician's who though they were making an accurate reading of what they saw. They weren't.
Luckily, we chose to do a double mastectomy regardless of the MRI results. It's a good thing we did. Hidden under the mess of small pockets of calcification (Stage 1) was a 4.5 cm tumor (stage 2) that was throwing out tentacles. For this reason, I do not have clean margins to the skin level.
This 4.5 cm tumor was not visible on any test.
That means it was only found when a chunk of my right breast hit the pathology table.
My other point goes to the heart of me. I've always been a cup half full kinda person. I'm not right now. I thought the results of my PET scan would elevate me mentally. It has a little but not much. Why? I think lurking in the back of my head is the worry that I need answers that my doctors can't give me. They are reassuring me that I'll be here 5 years from now, but not telling me that I won't die from this. It's not their fault and I do understand their position.
I don't want to "battle" this disease for the rest of my life. I want it gone and then I want to move on. I have kids to raise, a husband to adore, and a life to live. I want to write my book, I want to go to Hawaii, I want to see my grandchildren. And my doctors can't tell me if I'll be able to do that.
I'm facing chemo starting next week. My kids and husband will see me at my very lowest and I need to be strong for them and me. It shapes you when you see pain on this level when you're a child. My Jackie is very careful with me now, afraid she'll hurt me if she touches me. It brings tears to my eyes to have Steffie kiss my arm instead of throwing her arms around me. It's too painful to hug my kids.
One day at a time. I keep telling myself that. One day at a time. I'm trying but I'm scared. I'm very scared.
My mother's marker test came back positive last week. That means there is cancer somewhere in her body. The doctors are trying to find it with bone scans and PET scans. PET is tomorrow, bone scan was today.
This is far too much for one family to bear.

|Best doll house ever!|
I've always been fascinated with terrain that has lots of little details in it. Most of the time I never bother detailing terrain- after all, it's the miniatures that are the stars and they take the most time. Still, a few simple techniques with an airbrush don't take too much time and the effect is great!
|Yes, yes I did.|
What can I say- if you want to pimp out a piece of terrain- a couple of quick pieces of terrain make a huge difference!
|It's an armoury.|
What a difference a bit of furniture makes. Brings the building to life.
And gives some partial cover when negotiating the battlefield... but that's not why I put furniture in there (hee hee!).
|Some nods to popular culture.|
The scenery was made by the now defunct Spartan Scenics. It was resin- so it was pain to wash and then dry.
The paint job was kept extremely simple. Primed with GW Chaos Black primer, then sprayed a base coat, then simple panel highlight. Taped off the green stuff (quite sloppily in some parts) and then did the "blue steel" the same way.
I then finished off with some edge highlighting.
Yes, it almost killed me. It certainly finished off my old Windsor and Newton which was on it's last legs.
I did my usual lazy double highlight method. That is highlight with a dark grey all the edges. Then on selected edges that catch the light- use an almost white grey.
|Trying out different painting techniques.|
After reading up on non metallic metal a bit more- I gave it a go on this piece of armour.
It looks ok- but not Ultramarine Marneus Calgar Golden Demon standard.
I have a lot more practice to do.
|There's a second storey!|
I wasn't a hundred percent happy with my airbrushing on the roof and the lights.
You can see the splatter from having mixed in too much thinner- so it looks untidy.
|But it's what inside that counts!|
|Democracy is not negotiable you tentacled alien scum!|
... and the Brotherhood of Steel!
|A ladder to no where.|
I'll have to use one of my dumpsters to put underneath the ladder so my toy soldiers can climb up with ease and shoot at each other with the minimum fuss.
Happy gaming everyone... and reminder: always go full retard!


CARS.COM — With seating for eight, the 2017 Lexus LX 570 can easily handle hauling families, whether large or small. With its wide second-row bench, the LX 570 fits three car seats. The third-row bench is also wide, but with its 50/50 split, the unlucky person sitting in the middle seat will be straddling the seat split. Our test SUV had leather seats and power-folding second and third rows.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Three
How many car seats fit in the third row? Two
What We Like
- The LX 570 has two sets of lower Latch anchors in the second row’s outboard seats. The anchors sit under leather flaps that are Velcroed into place. The anchors are easy to access. There are three tether anchors on the second row’s seatbacks, with the outboard seats’ anchors near the top of the seatbacks. For the middle seat, the tether anchor is at the base of the seatback.
- The rear- and forward-facing convertibles fit well and installed easily in the second row.
- The rear-facing infant seat installed easily into the second row, but we had to move the front passenger seat forward to fit it. Our 5-foot-8 tester had enough legroom to sit comfortably.
- The second-row bench fits three car seats across it.
- The booster seat fit well in the wide seats in both the second and third rows.
- With the tug of a lever, the second-row seats power-fold and tumble forward to create a wide path to the third row. The running boards on the LX are a must-have — they make climbing into the SUV a lot easier — and there’s an extra step to get into the cabin that’s lined with hard plastic. It’s also helpful for climbing into this behemoth. Be warned, though, that the step-in height is still substantial.
What We Don’t Like
- The third row doesn’t have any lower Latch anchors or tether anchors, which means a forward-facing convertible can’t be installed back there.
- The second-row seat belt buckle behind the driver’s seat is floppy and on a short stalk – it fell behind our booster seat. The other two seats in the second row have stable buckles, but they’re on hinges and can fold into the bottom cushion. None of these seat belt buckles will be easy for kids to use independently.
- The third row’s seat belt buckles are nestled in the seat cushions, making them difficult to grasp by kids.
A: Plenty of room for the car seat and the child; doesn’t impact driver or front-passenger legroom. Easy to find and connect to Latch and tether anchors. No fit issues involving head restraint or seat contouring. Easy access to the third row.
B: Plenty of room. One fit or connection issue. Some problems accessing third row when available.
C: Marginal room. Two fit or connection issues. Difficult to access third row when available.
D: Insufficient room. Two or more fit or connection issues.
F: Does not fit or is unsafe.
About Cars.com’s Car Seat Checks
Editors Jennifer Geiger, Jennifer Newman and Matt Schmitz are certified child safety seat installation technicians.
For the Car Seat Check, we use a Graco SnugRide Classic Connect 30 infant-safety seat, a Britax Marathon convertible seat and Graco TurboBooster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a shorter passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver’s seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.
We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row’s middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there’s a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. Learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks.
Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat, and that Latch anchors have a weight limit of 65 pounds, including the weight of the child and the weight of the seat itself.

ok, thanks for your helpno, its not easy. You have to take the axle part way out of the carrier because there is a circlip holding the hub tight against the carrier and you can't just pull the sprocket hub off without first taking that circlip off.
Typically, a 36 tooth sprocket comes in two pieces (halves) so that you can put it on without taking the sprocket hub off in order to get the sprocket on.
I should say that it is simple work to do but a pain in the behind because it is a lot of work just to change a rear sprocket.[/b]

The director’s gaze was unreadable. Excited anticipation was in the air until he finally said: “Julia, stand there. You’re not completely out of the race yet, who knows what nonsense is yet to come. Though it will be hard to top yours, but it’s entirely possible. So, Kiara, go ahead and tell us what you’ve come up with.” The addressee, a delicate person with long red hair, fair skin and freckles quintessentially Irish, stepped forward and did as the director asked.
“With the wind came a girl, no, actually a young woman. Suddenly she was standing there. In one hand she held a suitcase, one of the cheapest kinds, and in the other she held the drawbar of a ladder wagon. Now she let go of the tiller and put the suitcase down. Three hens jumped out of the wagon and immediately began to scratch and peck at the ground full of joy and enthusiasm. ‘Grandmother’ said the girl while she let her eyes wander over the old people, first questioning, then recognizing, ‘Grandmother’ she called out. The women, who were actually all grandmothers and listened accordingly, lifted their sad eyes, but knowledge was reflected in only one face. She slowly got up and walked towards the young woman until she reached her. She stopped in front of it to take a good look at it. Finally, the old woman reached up to touch the other’s cheek, as if afraid it was just a figment of her imagination, but it was real. She could feel it. ‘Viola, my violet, it really is you, after all these years,’ the old woman said before taking the young one in her arms. This allowed it. Finally, the grandmother let go of the granddaughter and looked at her questioningly. There were so many questions that she didn’t know where to begin. ‘I’ll tell you everything, grandmother’, said Viola, ‘but first only so much. I haven’t visited you for so long because I was forbidden to. When we moved away, I was still too young and nobody wanted to tell me where you lived. Now I finally found out and I remembered the farm where you live and where I was so happy back then. I left to stay with you.’ ‘Here, where there is only old age and death?’ replied the grandmother. Viola said that she had heard that everyone who could possibly have moved away from here. There was nothing more, but plenty of space and the opportunity to lead an individual life. As it turned out, the farm was pretty run down because nothing had been done for years, but friends of Viola came and rebuilt it. Animals arrived, occupying the stables and former pastures, bringing joy to the village. More young people came, settled the vacant houses, and it was decided that all houses, abandoned or not, would become common property in those that were not abandoned, with the consent of those who lived in them. A foundation was established for this purpose. Affordable housing and lots of free space. Young families came supporting the old and the old supported the young families. The village became colorful and inviting. A grocer opened and a baker, and all the other little shops that you need. When all the houses were inhabited, no one was allowed to move any more. A separate, small community was created in which everyone looked out for each other, helped each other as best they could, and all the joys and sorrows were shared. A speculator became aware of this and tried to buy the houses from the people, but after everything belonged to everyone, he bit his teeth on granite. That’s why he bribed the provincial governor so that he should ensure that this construct was condemned as illegal, because in a democratic, legal state like Austria, in which property rights were paramount, everything shouldn’t belong to everyone. Then a resident of the village of the elderly entered the scene. He had been a lawyer and managed to send the speculators away. The governor was so angry that he had the only access road closed, but he couldn’t keep that up for long either, and it didn’t particularly bother the residents because they had everything they needed on site. Finally, they gave the place a name “Village of the Old & Young” they called it. There has never been a more peaceful way of dealing with one another anywhere else.” With that, Kiara finished and looked expectantly at the director.
“A great story,” he said, “Julia, we’ll take yours.” “But why?” Kiara said, surprised. “It’s a great story,” reiterated the director, “Full of hope and zest for life and faith. But imagine if people actually put that into practice. This is a call for revolution, a feasible revolution. That’s why we prefer to make people stupid. Super rescuers can’t make revolutions, but they can distract people from reality. That’s why movies are made to keep things the way they are and keep people entertained.” And Kiara decided to do just that, find a place where her dream could be realized. A revolution.

On May 7, 2018, the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia launched a position statement recommending that exercise should be prescribed to all patients with cancer as part of their treatment regimen. The statement—which has been endorsed by 25 leading health and care organisations, including the Cancer Council Australia, the Medical Oncology Group of Australia, and the Australian Physiotherapy Association, and echoes similar guidelines by Cancer Research UK and the American College of Sports Medicine—says that exercise should be viewed as an adjunct to therapy to help counteract the adverse effects of cancer and its treatment. Although the decision is a welcome move that increasingly recognises patient quality of life as a vital component of cancer care, two crucial questions remain: does the evidence base adequately support the decision, and can such an approach be suited to the diverse range of cancer types and patients who are inflicted with the disease?
It is no surprise that much epidemiological evidence in recent years has shown that, with improvements in early detection and treatment, increasing numbers of patients with cancer can expect to be alive 5 years after their diagnosis and join a growing population of cancer survivors. Although these trends are encouraging and show that improvements in cancer treatment, prevention, and detection have translated into real improvements in survival outcomes, it cannot go unrecognised that the disease and its treatment are often associated with long-term health and psychosocial sequelae. These sequelae most often include depression, anxiety, increased fatigue, fear of recurrence, and diminished personal relationships, as well as an increased risk of developing secondary malignant diseases and other conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis, compared with the general population. Given such evidence, it would be no hard push to declare that those with cancer are a vulnerable population with distinct health-care needs, of which exercise will, of course, help alleviate some of these competing conditions.
Although the Clinical Oncology Group of Australia statement emphasises that patients should be physically active as much as their abilities and conditions allow, it would be naive to think that there can, or should, be a one-size-fits-all approach to suit all patients. For example, patient comorbidities and fragility, which are often associated with increased age, are factors that need to be adequately considered when recommending the feasibility of any physical activity regimen. Equally, a degree of sensitivity is needed in, first, recommending physical activity measures that do not shame patients into thinking their disease is solely the consequence of their lifestyle choices and, second, recognising that exercise is not necessarily the single and vital factor determining treatment success, but rather emphasising it as a way to improve quality of life and wellbeing. On a practical level, recommendations will need to be given within the context of a patient's life, in recognition of the often-debilitating effects of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy that might otherwise prevent patients from participating in exercise, a home and work life that might already be hard pressed to find time for exercise, and the need for an appropriate support network to encourage exercise as a feasible and sustainable treatment option.
Moreover, caution is needed when looking at the evidence base that informed these recommendations. Although epidemiological evidence has shown that being physically active can provide a protective effect against cancer recurrence, cancer-specific mortality, and all-cause mortality for some types of cancer, no evidence to date has evaluated whether the effects of exercise can positively affect cancer survival—although there are several clinical trials underway assessing exercise as a treatment intervention. Indeed, despite having what seems like an insufficiently robust evidence base to inform a strong move in either direction, it is hugely encouraging to see that treatment interventions that focus on a patient's quality of life and wellbeing are being seriously incorporated into the patient experience, and that exercise is now considered a vitally important component of cancer care at both ends of the care pathway—both as a treatment and as a preventive measure.
Interventions that increasingly incorporate quality of life, the patient experience, and cancer survivorship into the treatment programme are welcome and laudable ways to ensure that patients are at the centre of the treatment process. But like any therapy, physical activity measures should be personalised to adequately meet a patient's physical and psychological needs, and be delivered in such a way to support exercise as a viable and supportive treatment intervention.

- The Lancet Oncology Editorial1 about our exercise in cancer care position statement2 was welcomed by the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA). The position statement represents COSA's first step in instigating change in cancer care in Australia, acknowledging that although there is still more to be learned, the extant evidence supports moving forward with incorporating exercise into routine cancer care.3–6 Cumulative findings from physical activity and exercise trials support the promotion of physical activity and use of exercise science principles to gain and maintain physiological, functional, and quality-of-life benefits during and after treatment for cancer.

- We strongly agree with the supportive, yet cautionary, opinions and questions expressed in the recent Lancet Oncology Editorial about exercise and cancer treatment.1 With burgeoning clinical and research interest in the adoption of exercise as a standard of care in oncology, it is both timely and appropriate to consider the evidence in the context of pragmatic concerns about delivering exercise services for people with cancer, and the growing desire for exercise services by patients and their health-care teams.

The additional session’s court in Kottayam in Kerala on Thursday framed charges against former Bishop of Jalandhar Franco Mulakkal who has been accused by a nun of his congregation of raping her several times.
The judge read out charges against him including rape, criminal intimidation, and wrongful confinement and insulting the modesty of a woman but Mulakkal denied all charges. After formally framing charges the court posted the case for hearing on September 16 for the survivor’s examination.
Mulakkal, who surrendered before the court last week, was allowed to leave the state but was asked to appear before it as and when required.
He has been charged under various sections of IPC including 342 (punishment for wrongful confinement), 377 (Unnatural Sex), 376 (c) (a) sexual activity by an individual in authority 376(2) (k) (indulging in sexual activity by exhorting authority), and 506 (criminal intimidation).
Last week, the Bishop was granted bail by the Court with stringent conditions and directed him to be present on the dates of hearing of the case.
During the coronavirus lockdown, the number of rape and abuse cases has skyrocketed in certain places in the country which paints a very ugly picture for women safety in India. Christian priests have negated to speak on this issue of continuous molestation charges against the members and religious leaders of their community.
The Supreme Court had directed Mulakkal to face trial because it dismissed his plea seeking discharge within the rape case lodged against him by the nun belonging to a congregation under Jalandhar diocese, saying there was no merit in his petition.
Mulakkal, in his plea, had challenged the July 7 Kerala supreme court order, dismissing his discharge plea within the rape case filed by the nun.
The supreme court had asked the deposed Bishop of Jalandhar diocese to face for trial within the rape case. The senior priest of the Roman Catholic Church had filed the revision petition following the dismissal of his discharge plea by an attempt court in March this year. The rape case against the Bishop was registered by police in Kottayam district.
In her complaint to the police in June 2018, the nun had alleged that she was subjected to sexual assault by the bishop during the amount between 2014 and 2016. The bishop was arrested by the Special Investigation Team.
On July 1, Mulakkal skipped a hearing at the Kottayam additional district court because his house was in a coronavirus containment zone. The public prosecutor then pointed out the area was not a containment zone and that it was a deliberate attempt to delay the case.
Later, Mulakkal approached the Supreme Court to clear the rape charges against him, but the petition was dismissed.

A look at James Franklin’s recruiting success at Penn State
Following an eventful week in recruiting that saw eight athletes commit in seven days, the Nittany Lions continued their recruiting hot streak by adding four more this week.
It started with three-star CB Joseph Johnson III, of Richmond, Virginia, choosing the Nittany Lions over Ohio State, North Carolina State and Texas A&M Tuesday evening, followed by three-star Texas wideout Parker Washington about an hour later. On Wednesday, three-star athlete Tyler Warren, of Virginia, marked the 19th member of James Franklin’s 2020 recruiting class.
Bryce Mostella, a three-star DE from East Kentwood, Michigan, made No. 20 on Friday.
Those four join three-star DE Brandon Taylor, four-star DE Amin Vanover, four-star athlete Enzo Jennings, three-star LB Tyler Elsdon, three-star DT Fatorma Mulbah, four-star WR Jaden Dottin, four-star DT Coziah Izzard and three-star JUCO S Ji’Ayir Brown in pledging to the Nittany Lions since June 21.
That’s more than half of the 2020 recruiting class.
This most recent batch of commits is led by Johnson, the 6 foot, 2 inch, 175-pound former N.C. State commit, who 247Sports has ranked as the No. 9 prospect out of Virginia, 32nd at cornerback and 365th overall. He announced his commitment on his high school campus at Life Christian Academy in Colonial Heights, Virginia. He said in a Twitter post after making his announcement that Penn State had been a favorite since the start.
“I really liked them when I went up on my official (visit) but what really pulled me there was the love they were showing,” Johnson told 247Sports’ Brian Dohn. “They were showing so much love. I went up on a visit and it just felt like home. It felt like the right place.”
Johnson joins projected safties Jennings and Brown as the third pledge to Penn State’s secondary.
Washington, a 5 foot, 10 inch, 201-pound prospect out of Richmond, Texas, chose the Nittany Lions over the likes of Wisconsin, Nebraska, Boston College, Duke, Kentucky and Georgia Tech. He announced while attending The Opening Finals in Dallas with a video posted on Twitter. The video shows Washington as he calls Penn State’s new receivers coach Gerad Parker from the field at the Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium to tell him the news.
“This is going to be big, coach, I know it,” he said.
Warren, a 6 foot, 5 inch, 223-pound dual-threat quarterback at Atlee High School in Mechanicsville, Virginia, chose the Nittany Lions about two months after decommitting from Virginia Tech. According to Dohn, the No. 16 product out of Virginia is looking to play tight end on the collegiate level. He chose the Nittany Lions over Michigan, Louisville and South Carolina.
Warren’s commitment was first reported by HanoverCountySports.net.
The final commitment of the week for Penn State came in the most creative fashion. The 6 foot, 6 inch, 235-pound Mostella posted a dramatic video on Twitter Friday afternoon that ends in the No. 14 prospect out of Michigan, per 247Sports, covering himself with blue and white paint and dancing. The video set social media buzzing with more than 117,000 views by Saturday afternoon.
In an interview with his local TV station, Wood TV, Mostella said he wanted to do something different with his commitment announcement, a video of something other than a football drill or highlights.
“My goal was to not have football in it at all. Just to have some character and some extra flavor in there,” he said in the interview.
Mostella picked Penn State over Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State and others.
With the addition of Johnson, Washington, Warren and Mostella, Penn State holds steady at No. 10 in 247’s Division I recruiting rankings for 2020, and third in the Big Ten, behind Michigan and Ohio State.
The recent recruiting surge comes on the heels of a slight skid for the Nittany Lions, that saw decommitments from four-star 2020 cornerback Josh Moten and four-star offensive tackle Aaryn Parks, as well as four-star blocker Grant Toutant, who flipped to Ohio State. Penn State also lost another high-profile commit when longtime four-star linebacker commit Derek Wingo flipped to Florida State on June 22.
With the losses, Penn State had fallen as far as No. 27 in the national recruiting rankings, before putting itself back in the top 10 a week later.

KOTA KINABALU- The Special Sabah State Legislative Assembly Sitting convenes without members of the opposition that announced its decision to boycott the proceedings last night.
Present were 43 assemblymen from Parti Warisan Sabah (Warisan) , Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) , Democratic Action Party (DAP) and United Pasok Momogun Kadazandusun Murut association (Upko) as well as former Umno members who switched sides.
There were 21 assemblymen absent including 11 from Umno, 6 from Parti Bersatu Sabah and one each from Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) and Upko.
UMNO won 17 seats in the 14th General Election on May 9 but four of its assemblymen left the party to lend their support to Warisan.
The four are Tanjung Batu assemblyman Datuk Hamisa Samat, Datuk Abdul Muis Picho (Sebatik), Jamawi Jaafar (Kemabong) dan Datuk Osman Jamal (Balung).
State Assembly Speaker Datuk Syed Abas Syed Ali opened the sitting with a short speech where he touched on the need to continue pursuing Sabah’s rights as enshrined under the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
The sitting saw elected representatives sworn in and tabling a motion for a vote of confidence to Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal as Chief Minister.
Four nominated assemblymen, Upko acting president Datuk Seri Wilfred Madius Tangau, Sabah Dap chief Stephen Wong Tien Fatt, Warisan secretary general Loretto Padua and treasurer general Terrence Siambun were also sworn in.
Yesterday, two “deputy Chief Ministers” sworn in under Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Tan Sri Musa Aman had said BN and Parti Solidariti TanahAirku (Star) would boycott the sitting.
The duo, Datuk Seri Hajiji Mohd Noor and Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan, had said the sitting is unlawful and is a contemptuous attempt to derail the court proceedings initiated by Musa to determine the validity of the two swearing-ins of Sabah Chief Minister.
In a joint statement, they also said the Notice calling for the special sitting is in contravention of Order No. 6 of the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly, which requires twenty-one days of notice to be given before the day of the sitting, unless in cases of emergency the Yang Di-pertua Negeri may dispense with the necessity for such notice.
State Assembly was dissolved on April 7 last year to make way for 14th general election which means 120 days is needed for the next sitting to be held on August 6. — Reporting by Mohd Izham Unnip Abdullah, Olivia Miwil dan Fardy Bungga.- New Straits Times

New Kent County Airport's former manager has sued the county for $1.45 million and submitted a bid to manage the airfield again.
A.C. "Jim" Worley filed his claim against the county in New Kent Circuit Court on Monday. Last week he was one of five bidders for the new airport management contract.
"I voted against submitting a bid," Worley said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "But I understand the desires of the junior members of my board. They want to grow with the county and feel that in November there's an election for new supervisors and maybe there will be a change in the atmosphere."
Worley's lawsuit mirrors his $1.45 million claim that the Board of Supervisors rejected last month, shortly after the county asked Worley to turn over the keys to the airport he has managed since 1955.
Worley and his company, Worley Aviation Inc., allege the county failed to make payments to Worley that were agreed upon in 1979 when the county bought the airport from Worley with state and federal money.
He also is seeking $340,745 from the county for failing to construct an interchange with Interstate 64 to bring business to the modest airfield and seeking repayment of costs he has incurred.
Those costs include $480,000 he spent to erect a terminal building and maintenance hangar in 1988 at the 216-acre airport and $421,000 for maintenance services he performed.
"I'm only trying to protect my rights under the lease agreement," Worley said. "I'm trying to get the county to follow the lease agreement. They have never done it. They've breached it from day one."
New Kent special counsel James E. Cornwell Jr. has said the county does not owe Worley for the terminal building because it was not built as part of a county-approved capital improvements plan. Worley said the Board of Supervisors did specifically approve the terminal's construction.
Cornwell has said the county does not owe Worley for the maintenance because it was either Worley's duty to do it under the management contract or not done to federal aviation standards.
None of that should affect whether Worley beats out four competitors to win the new airport management contract, Cornwell said Tuesday.
"The lawsuit has nothing to do with the proposal process. We're not going to penalize him because he's got a claim against the county. That wouldn't be fair," Cornwell said. "I'll recommend the county look at all the proposals and do what's best for the county."
The next step in picking a new manager is for the Board of Supervisors on Monday to reappoint members to the 2-year-old New Kent Airport Advisory Commission, Cornwell said. Then the commission will examine the bids and interview each bidder, and a decision could come in 60 days, Cornwell said.
Worley said he was outvoted by his partners - his son, Ronald, and David Kain - in the decision on whether to submit a bid.

According to the media reports, Aasia Bibi, who was released after the orders of Supreme Court in a blasphemy case last year, has left Pakistan and fly to Canada.
The diplomatic sources of a media house have also confirmed the news saying that Aasia has left Pakistan to fly to Toronto city of Canada.
When the top court of the country ordered to release Aasia Bibi, the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau said that the Canadian government was holding talks with the authorities of Pakistan over potentially offering asylum to the Christian woman.
In November of the last year, the rumours were circulating that Aasia had left the women jail in Multan and was being flown to an unknown destination.
This particular quote was attributed to the legal counsel of Aasia Saiful Malook which subsequently gave rise to rumours that Asia Bibi had left Pakistan and fly to Canada.
However, later, the Foreign Office of Pakistan had denied all such reports.

Leading by Design – AEM Corp
Uncategorized August 23, 2018
Leading by Design
This article originally appeared in the Heli-Expo 2019 edition of Insight Magazine. Written by Ben Forrest. Read the digital publication here.
In 2009, when avionics maker Northern Airborne Technology (NAT) decided to close its manufacturing operations in Canada, a group of employees recognized an opportunity they couldn’t pass up.
There was still considerable demand for NAT products in the marketplace, and the talent pool left behind at its facility in Kelowna, British Columbia, was second-to-none. So, they banded together to form Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp. (AEM). This new company continued to contract-manufacture and service the former NAT products while developing new products of its own—a signature line that has become one of the most trusted in the helicopter industry.
“We’re constantly being approached for new products and new projects, as well,” said Tony Weller, director of sales and marketing for AEM. “Nothing moves quickly in the aviation world, typically, so it’s been a work in progress to gain that credibility and placement. But it continues to pay dividends: we’re being asked for by name.”
AEM now has more than 90 employees based in Kelowna who design, manufacture and support avionics, aircraft audio systems, intercoms, tactical FM radio systems, illuminated panels and display products, internal and external PA (public address) systems, audio amplifiers, audio adapters, and remote switch assemblies.
The company is a Transport Canada approved manufacturer and maintenance organization, has European Aviation Safety Agency Part 145 approval, and is ISO9001/AS9100D registered.
Its broad customer base spans the entire rotorcraft industry worldwide, from small independent operators to major original equipment manufacturers. AEM is an approved supplier for Airbus Helicopters, Leonardo Helicopters, Boeing Helicopters, Bell, Sikorsky, Hindustan Aeronautics and Embraer, among others, with several long-term agreements in place.
Quite simply, AEM is leading by design. “The systems and the categories that we operate in,” said Weller, “we’re ahead of the game. That’s for sure.”
In the past year, SMS Canada Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Structural Monitoring Systems plc of Australia, acquired AEM. AEM and SMS had worked together for years to develop, produce and certify structural health monitoring technology, which the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approved in 2018.
The merger puts AEM on excellent financial footing, with more capital at its disposal than ever before.
“Anything we decide we want to embark on now, or products that we wish to entertain, or different avenues we want to take, the capital investment is available,” said Brian Wall, general manager of AEM. In fact, “AEM is actively looking for like companies to acquire that complement our existing product line,” said Wall.
The company isn’t releasing specific details about which new products will hit the market in the months ahead just yet, but the same commitment to quality and unparalleled customer service remains in place. “I think when readers see the words ‘AEM’ and ‘audio’ in the same sentence or paragraph, it’ll make sense to them,” said Weller. “They know where we’re probably headed.”
Overall, AEM continues to be a key provider in airborne law enforcement, firefighting and helicopter emergency medical services, which were all staple markets for NAT, as well.
As for the company’s focus on quality, said Wall, “We realize the importance quality has in the industry. Failures in the aerospace industry don’t go over well at all, and we’ve got a very solid track record of delivering a quality product to the market, on time.”
AEM modelled its corporate culture on the culture at NAT. It focuses on the customer, teamwork, and continuous improvement. “It’s an important part of our recruitment processes,” said Weller. “We’re looking for people who fit that mould, where quality is important to them—where they actually care about what they’re doing. They understand the need for a quality system and why we need to abide by it, and what that means for our customers. “So, there’s a real sense of pride within our organization that when our product goes out the door to the customer, it is a quality piece.”
AEM is a Tier 1 supplier to some providers and a Tier 2 to others. As Wall noted, contracts for both sets of customers have stringent quality control mechanisms. “We take pride in where we peg ourselves on achieving those goals and accomplishments,” he said.
Going forward, AEM remains focused on leading by design, guided by the same values and commitment to quality which have been with it from the very start.
“Look to AEM for some new things coming down the line,” said Wall. “We have a strong background within our R&D department in the audio realm, and we’re looking to make some new product launches in the next 12 to 18 months. They’re going to be some pretty unique products, as we look to innovate with the new ideas we have percolating around here.”

If you want long-lasting smile enhancement, you should talk to your dentist about porcelain veneers. These tooth-colored shells will attach to the front of your teeth with resin bonding in order to build a straighter, brighter, and more even smile.
Though the cosmetic dental benefits of this treatment seem clear, some people worry about introducing these fixtures to their smile. They may feel concerned that adhering a cap to a tooth might look jarring or awkward in their mouths.
Fortunately, your dentist strives to ensure a gorgeous and authentic look when treating teeth with veneers. Your dentist can describe the process in detail during a consultation appointment. But you may also read on to learn about the steps your dentist will take to ensure that you achieve a beautiful and natural-looking finish with porcelain veneers.
Porcelain Material Mimics Natural Teeth
The use of porcelain when building veneers is important to ensure that they look natural in a patient’s smile. Porcelain can match the color of the teeth, and dentists can adjust the color for an even closer blend into the patient’s natural smile.
This way, the resulting tooth color can look bright without appearing inauthentic. Porcelain also mimics the glossy appearance of the natural teeth for an even more natural finish after veneer treatment.
Porcelain is also highly durable, so patients can find smile enhancement without worrying about impeding their oral function. They can chew their usual foods without stressing that they might break their dental work. Make sure you follow your dentist’s aftercare guidelines for the best results from this treatment.
The porcelain material will resist staining as well. A dental patient can feel confident that the gorgeous color of their smile will last for fifteen years or longer. Learn more about the benefits of porcelain veneers when you consult with your cosmetic dentist.
Your Dentist’s Individualized Approach to Smile Design
Your dentist employs an individualized approach to cosmetic dentistry. This further guarantees a natural-looking appearance after smile enhancement with porcelain veneers.
The process begins with a thorough oral exam. The dentist will discuss any aesthetic concerns you have as well as your existing dental structure to affirm the best plan of action to achieve the smile of your dreams.
Patients who want to receive porcelain veneers must have strong and healthy enamel in order to support these fixtures on the teeth. The dentist may suggest dental treatments to restore the patient’s oral health prior to beginning cosmetic solutions for best results.
A dentist will make veneers on a custom basis for each patient. They make caps that suit the size, shape, and color of the patient’s smile to maximize authenticity along with aesthetic appeal.
The dentist checks the patient’s bite after placing veneers on the teeth as well. This way, they can confirm that the new fixtures do not interfere with the patient’s oral function. You should still let your dentist know if the veneers seem misaligned, loose, or ill-fitting so that you can get the best results from this treatment.


When comparing a long barrel to a short one with the same load for differences in muzzle velocity, both barrels need to have identical dimensions inside that hole in their middle except for their length. Otherwise, several factors will fudge the numbers.
And you have to use the same lot of ammo. There's all sorts of variables that will exist for a given cartridge loaded by different folks different ways with even the exact same components; neck tension alone, for example, may go from a release force needed to get the bullet out of 5 to 80 pounds. That'll cause a big velocity difference using the same barrel.
My only "test" for this comparison was made with a lot of M852 7.62 NATO match ammo using a Win. 70 target rifle with a 26 inch hammer forged factory barrel and an M1A with a 22 inch Obermeyer custom barrel. The 22 inch barrel shot the 168 HPMK's out about 20 fps faster through the chronograph centered 20 feet away than the 26 inch one. Here's why.
22 inch M1A barrel, 4-groove, .2980" bore diameter, .3075" groove diameter, MIL SPEC chamber a tiny bit bigger than the Win 70's.
26 inch M70 barrel, 4-groove, .3005" bore diameter, .3084" groove diameter, SAAMI spec chamber a tiny bit smaller than the M1A's.
So, unless the bullet meets the same restrictions going into and through each barrel used, the "playing field" is not level.
SAAMI's document on centerfire rifle cartridge data in the following link, page 22, explains it:
Note the velocity numbers are "approximate" because different cartridges and bullet weights and the powder charges used will cause a small variance. But the numbers are good enough to make a fairly accurate estimate.
Therefore, CB11WYO, a 28" barrel may or may not shoot a give load's bullet out faster. We don't know the rifle barrel's specs the loading data was attained with. It may be tighter or looser than the one you get. On average, it would be a little bit faster.

In this our fourth blog about the GDPR, I am going to look at the rights of data subjects in relation to the processing, amendment and erasure of their data; and some of the new obligations on processors and controllers. Also, to continue the theme from the previous blogs, I am going to compare the GDPR provisions with the corresponding provisions in the existing EU Directive 95/46EC (the “Original EU Data Protection Directive”).
The Right to be Forgotten
Article 12 of the Original EU Data Protection Directive gave data subjects a right to access their data but the key remedy was identified as a right to have inaccurate data amended. The right to have data erased was mentioned but the grounds for erasure were not well described.
Article 17 of GDPR on the other hand, gives a clear right for a data subject to be “forgotten” (ie to have their data permanently deleted).
Even where the data controller justifies the processing on grounds that it is necessary either (a) to protect the vital interests of the data subject, (b) for the public interest or pursuant to official authority, or (c) for the legitimate interests of the data controller, Article 19 of the GDPR now now shifts the burden of proof to the data controller to demonstrate that these requirements outweigh the right of the data subject to be free from the processing.
Profiling and Automated Decision Making
Article 15 of the Original EU Data Protection Directive provided that important decisions about a person could not be made on the basis of automated processing alone. This concept is repeated in Article 20 of GDPR but the language now is more detailed alongside the GDPR’s broader focus on informed consent, and ensuring that appropriate non-automated safeguards are in place to ensure fair processing on an ongoing basis.
Privacy by Design
Article 23 of GDPR formally introduces the concept of “privacy by design”, which should already be familiar to app developers. The concept involves the consideration of factors such as what data is really required to provide particular services or functions, and who really needs to see that data and why. Where data processing is likely to be automated or intensive or intrusive, there are also now requirements at Article 33 of GDPR to carry out a formal data protection assessment.
The concept of data portability does not appear in the Original EU Data Protection Directive. However, in a world where a subject’s personal data is held in multiple databases, the argument runs that this data should be transferable from one service provider to another in a bid to increase consumer choice. In support of this line of reasoning, Article 18 of the GDPR introduces the concept of a data subject right to portability of their data at their request.
Records of Data Held and Processed
Article 28 of GDPR introduces an obligation on both controllers and processors, to keep records on for example, what data they hold, how it is collected, where is it collected from, for how long is it retained, and who has access to it and why.
Breach notification rules have been variously applied at a national level. Article 31 of GDPR now introduces a mandatory requirement on controllers and processors to notify data breaches to the supervisory authority in each affected country within 72 hours of the breach occurring, unless the controller/processor can demonstrate that the breach was unlikely to result in any risk to the data subjects. Additional notifications directly to affected individuals are required “without undue delay” under Article 32 of GDPR where there would be a high risk to the data subjects if those individuals were not separately notified.
Data Protection Officer: To Appoint or Not to Appoint
The appointment of a data protection officer as a mandatory or optional requirement has historically varied on a country by country basis. Article 35 of GDPR now provides that the appointment of a data protection officer is compulsory where the processing is carried out by a public authority, or where it involves either (a) large scale monitoring of data on a regular or systematic basis, or (b) large scale processing of one or more of the “special categories” of personal data referenced in Article 9 of GDPR (ie personal data revealing race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or beliefs or trade union membership; the processing of genetic data or data concerning health or sex life, criminal convictions or related security measures).

Teaching Inclusive Curriculum: Schools should teach about individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ history and contributions. Stopping Bullying: Programs should be implemented to prevent bullying, particularly targeting gender identity or sexual orientation.
Training for Teachers and Staff: Teachers and staff need training to effectively support LGBTQ+ students and create safe classrooms. Support for LGBTQ+ Students: Schools should offer support groups and counseling services for students who identify as LGBTQ+.
Involving Parents and Guardians: Parents and guardians should be engaged in discussions about LGBTQ+ inclusion to ensure support both at home and at school. Providing Diverse Resources: Schools should offer a range of resources, including books and materials, that reflect LGBTQ+ identities and experiences.
Creating Safe Spaces: Safe spaces such as Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs) should be established where students can feel supported. Working with the Community: Collaboration with local LGBTQ+ organizations and community members is crucial for fostering an inclusive environment.
Regularly Reviewing Policies: Schools should regularly assess their policies and initiatives to ensure they benefit all students. LGBTQ+ inclusion is fundamental for fostering a supportive learning environment. PPUK is dedicated to collaborating with schools and communities to ensure every student feels respected and valued, irrespective of their identity.

Conclusions: After the GMO
Genome editing technologies hold the promise of crop and livestock improvement and even of curing patients of what have been up to now incurable diseases. The applications are vast, and the human condition as a whole could be changed by genome editing. CRISPR-Cas9 as a genome editing platform, for example, has proved to be flexible across species, has high multiplexing potential, though as yet indeterminate intellectual-property constraints. Since the technology leaves no sign of transgenesis, plants generated by genome editing are not considered to be GMOs and thus do not provoke the political and social emotional energy that often accompanies biotechnology in agriculture. While inexpensive and relatively simple to implement, genome editing still has some drawbacks, including off-target effects and our inability to conclude what the long-term impact of this technology will be over many generations. Concerns regarding deliberate changes that genome editing can make to the course of human evolution seem for now to belong within the pages of a science fiction novel; so did many modern technologies at some point in history.
The immediate issue is that risk assessment guidelines to address environmental and human health effects lag far behind the rapid adoption of the technology in research labs around the world, outpacing biosecurity frameworks for responsible regulation. More daunting, any workable mechanistm for enforcing guidelines on a global scale is hard to conjure. One emergent agreement among practitioners is that genome-editing be prohibited in germ lines, as results would otherwise be permanent over generations, altering evolution in unknowable ways. Yet how could such an agreement be enforced? Who would decide? One proposal has been to write restrictions into patents – the ‘ethical license’ — as the Harvard group did in licensing to Monsanto (Guerrini, Curnutte, Sherkow and Scott, 2017)
Ethical license would seem a sensible solution but has two great flaws. First, it is not clear that so versatile and available a technology will necessitate patents before deployment. Second, suppose a patent contains an ethical license: how do patents get enforced? Patent laws are national, and idiosyncratic, not global; battles over interpretations in the courts go on for years, especially in technically complex platforms (consider lines of code in gaming platforms). Even with transgenic plants, bio-property in seeds has proved virtually impossible to enforce internationally (Herring 2007).
While CRISPR-Cas9 technology becomes more effective and easier to use, research into other editing systems such as mega-nucleases are in the pipeline and will soon offer an even more diverse toolkit for scientists (Lambert et al., 2016). The term GMO – always arbitrary in definition — is becoming even more problematic as a basis for regulation and trade; it is even more decisively a normative and political construct than a biologically meaningful one. Genome editing as a whole thus challenges existing governmental regulatory structures designed to manage differences among organisms bred for new traits by different technologies (Esvelt, 2016).
There is no robust and parsimonious explanation for differences in acceptance and rejection of agricultural biotechnology across countries or across time. Variables that delineate common political rifts in international trade and politics fail to explain variation (Herring and Paarlberg 2016). The one constant is a risk-utility balance, but of course risk means different things to different segments of civil society, as does utility. So the vector sum is filtered through structures of regulatory mechanisms and their associated political ecology: Agriculture vs Environment ministries, eg. Opposition has targeted unnatural plants contaminated by genetic sequences from other species, including viruses and bacteria. Regulation of ‘the GMO’ has restricted the market and dimmed development, leaning toward internationally traded commodities developed by very large firms. The risk-utility balance for urban consumers has been negative, though the risk itself is hypothetical, not hazard-based.
This paper has shown a fundamental alternation of the risk-utility balance. Just as rDNA transgenic drugs are regulated not as GMOs but as normalized pharmaceuticals, precisely becuas of their risk/utility balance, so too will new techniques shift that political equation. Moreover, the frontiers of plant breeding are moving away from transgenesis, which has been the dominant regulatory test of what constitutes a plant that requires special regulation — a ‘GMO’ or ‘LMO.’ Biologically, and so far legally, gene-edited plants are closer to mutagenized crops – common and considered GMOs nowhere – though mutagenized in a targeted way, not by scrambling the genome with unknown random consequences. Since mutagenized agricultural plants have been immune to regulation as ‘GMOs,’ this political battle for definition will shape the future diffusion of agricultural – and other — biotechnology globally. Because of the utility of new techniques for consumers and farmers alike – unlike transgenic plants for the most part – as well as for the environment and human health, the risk-utility balance is being fundamentally altered.
It is then not a reach to predict the end of the GMO as a cornerstone of regulating agricultural technology and flashpoint of conflict restricting progress. Genome editing offers a new frontier for plant technology that is unprecedented but brings along with it with unprecedented challenges, particularly with the advent of gene drives. We expect these legitimate and consequential questions — practical, legal and ethical — to replace the irresolvable and largely pointless ‘GMO’ debate.


People watching is ok isn’t it? Good clean fun, the kind of thing you’d find in a Lonely Planet guide book (“the cafe is a great place for people-watching…”). But voyeurism? Yuck. You disgust me. How dare you snoop into other people’s lives like that. It’s a tricky line to negotiate but thanks to the brilliant illustrator Emiliano Ponzi we can all indulge our nosey sides at an exhibition in Rome.
The Sunrise Hotel is a project whereby a hotel-like structure has been built in the Wunderkammern gallery and visitors can peer at the inhabitants’ goings-on through a series of peep-holes – and what goings-on are there to spy. With titles like Alcoholic Mom, Slave and Crime Scene, Emiliano has produced an extraordinary set of scenes glorifying in the seediest parts of society’s underbelly. With sex, death and neglect all present and correct this is an interesting project about the perseverance of private vices in an increasingly public society.
Emilano’s work is part of the Suspension of Disbelief show which also features Spanish street artist Escif who we featured on the site in July. It runs until the end of October.

ThyssenKrupp and Tata Steel officially signed an agreement to create a European steel giant
Date:2018-07-04 View:869 Tag:ThyssenKrupp and Tata Steel officially signed an agreement to create a European steel giant
ThyssenKrupp and Tata Steel formally signed an agreement to merge the two steel companies in Europe to form a joint venture. The company will become the second largest steel company in Europe with an estimated annual turnover of 17 billion euros, an annual shipment of 21 million tons, and employs approximately 48,000 people.
Dr. Heilich Hüsingen, CEO of ThyssenKrupp Group, said: “Our joint venture is not only focused on the challenges facing the European steel industry. In fact, it has brought considerable value enhancements to both parties. Synergies can generate an added value of about 5 billion euros, which neither of us can achieve independently."
As early as September 2017, the two parties have signed a memorandum of understanding on the joint venture. Since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, the valuations of the two companies have changed. The change is also reflected in the final contract: Once an initial public offering (IPO) is initiated, ThyssenKrupp will hold a 55% stake and Tata will account for 45%. In addition, ThyssenKrupp will have the right to unilaterally decide when the IPO will be launched. The joint venture was named Thyssenkrupp Tata Steel B.V. The two parties will jointly build a high-quality steel company across Europe and make it a leader in the quality and technology of the global steel industry.
“With the smooth progress of the joint venture, we have jointly created a highly competitive steel company. This is based on the current situation of the European steel industry and the rational decision made by the two companies' development strategies. It contributes to the European industry in steel. The core areas guarantee employment and protect the sustainable development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain,” Heilich Hüsingen said.
The two parties will establish a holding company in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to manage the joint venture business. The holding company will adopt a two-tier management structure consisting of the board of supervisors and the board of directors. The Board of Supervisors and the Board of Directors each have six seats, which will be equally distributed between ThyssenKrupp and Tata.
Due diligence and fairness statements financially calculate the synergy that will create between €400 million and €500 million per year. They are mainly derived from the integration of procurement and management expenses and the increase in asset utilization. It is predicted that the joint venture is expected to achieve additional positive effects through the optimization of capital expenditures and working capital. In addition, the joint venture company will focus on high value-added links in the steel industry through a number of measures including strengthening research and development to achieve high levels of growth.
In order to give full play to the cost synergy of the joint venture, the two sides are expected to cut about 4,000 jobs in the next few years. This layoff pressure will be roughly equal between the two companies. In addition, the joint venture plans to evaluate production sites from 2020 to integrate and optimize the entire production system.

Physical theatre production BLAM! promises 'Die Hard meets The Office'
- Anna Millar
- 10 July 2013
This article is from 2013
The Danish production is coming to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013
A Scandinavian physical theatre group transforms the workplace into a blizzard of movie-based anarchy. Anna Millar asks Neander’s leader whether BLAM! is set to be a game-changer
An elevator pings. Throaty laughter drifts round the corner and four beaming faces appear. ‘Coffee. We need coffee, please.’ Twelve hours ago, these caffeine-craving cohorts enjoyed a rowdy standing ovation in Reykjavik’s main theatre. Six hours ago, they finally crawled into bed after a ‘few’ after-show drinks. ‘We don’t really do low energy,’ laughs Iceland native Kristján Ingimarsson, settling in with a wide smile. He’s not wrong.
As artistic director of Denmark-based physical theatre company Neander, Ingimarsson’s latest project BLAM! is as boisterous as it is bonkers. That it’s been heavily backed by the original co-producers of mega-hit STOMP should give some hint at its potential global appeal. Dubbed ‘Die Hard meets The Office’, BLAM! taps into an audience’s desire to escape the everyday. As three bored office workers kill time by ‘blamming’ – for any non-blammers out there, it means re-enacting favourite movies – a creepy, sadistic boss lurks in the background.
Without giving too much away, water coolers morph into ET, a stack of pencils transforms one character into Wolverine, while Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino and Batman all get a look-in. Neander’s unique and stellar cast commits to each and every role, as an identikit open-plan office reconfigures itself into a makeshift battle zone. The result is a physical theatre show with both an edgy allure and a decent lick of mainstream charm.
Ingimarsson is leader of the pack alongside Lars Gregersen, Didier Oberlé and Joen Højerslev, with each one bringing his own effervescent slant to proceedings, whether it’s classic slapstick, physical feats or daredevil back-flips from the top of filing cabinets. ‘I’ve been experimenting for years with different styles,’ explains Ingimarsson. ‘I wanted to do something that was fun but had a good theme and I’ve always wanted to take movies into the theatre. They have their own body language and their own rules, so they’re easy to twist. It’s fun to play with people’s expectations; I wanted to find the opposite of what we see in movies, so I struck on the “boring” office idea.’
Hours of exchanges and workshops have finally arrived at the spectacle you’ll see this August, when they take over the Pleasance Courtyard’s biggest space. If their enthusiasm alone could get bums on seats, they should be in pretty rude health for the run. But they know it’ll be a challenge. ‘All the characters from the movies are there: the nerd, the muscleman, the asshole, the good-looking hero. That’s obviously my part,’ laughs Ingimarsson. ‘Each of us brought something different from our own passions. One of us loved Jackie Chan, so we thought, “OK, how can we get Chan in there?” Then in another scene, “OK, maybe some Pulp Fiction here”. It became a process of getting from one place to another while having as much fun as possible.’
Certainly, the set helps ground the show, giving it a humour and reality amidst the madness, with almost every office gadget and appliance you can think of – pencils, phones, staple guns, filing cabinets, lamps and chairs – being used to recreate some of cinema’s most iconic characters and moments. ‘As the show goes on, scenes are built, while characters and movie styles are taken on,’ explains Ingimarsson. ‘In workshops, we were trying to make weapons out of this and that, while staying true to the office environment. The set is organic. It’s physical. It’s playing us as much as we are playing the set. The audience wants to find out the possibilities and we want to show them, and surprise them where we can.’
While moments in everything from Rambo to Reservoir Dogs, and references to the likes of Iron Man and the Hulk thrown in as well, BLAM! is more than just a fanboy’s playground. And though the narrative thread is loose, there’s an emotional range to be found as the story unfolds, with basic human emotions coming to the fore. The underdog is king here and while it’s an all-male, testosterone-fuelled frenzy, man, woman and child should equally relate to Ingimarsson’s bigger message about what we demand of our heroes. Like the best superhero and action stars, BLAM!’s characters are searching for something while dealing with their own flaws. Ingimarsson nods: ‘It’s fun and silly but it’s also about having the ability to fight back and to have the bravery and skill to say “enough!” There needed to be a humanity and vulnerability in there.’
That fragility, of course, has much to do with the repressed office setting. And beyond all the costume tomfoolery and circus trickery, Ingimarsson hopes that BLAM! will strike a chord. ‘The workplace today is more skewed than ever. We have come to accept that these tiny impersonal cubicles are our life. People don’t question it. These characters have hopes, dreams and fears and by putting them into these fantastical worlds, we show what we can learn there. Hopefully, that’s universal and everyone that comes can relate to that.’
It’s almost time to finish up. Water and coffee have been supped, an hour’s animated to-and-fro comes to a close and the reality of what this show might mean for Neander kicks in. At the age of 44, Ingimarsson hopes that ‘this is the one’. He’s enjoyed acclaim and triumphs before, but BLAM!, he feels, is ‘something special’. If it replicates its Danish and Icelandic success in Scotland, their next step is to go on tour. Ingimarsson stares out of the window, Reykjavik’s ethereal landscape staring back. ‘We’ve been working in this business for many years. It can happen or it cannot happen, even if you have a great show. So many things have to fall into place, but I think we’ve never been closer to it. We just want to show people what’s possible.’
BLAM!, Pleasance Courtyard, Pleasance, 0131 556 6550, 3–26 Aug (not 7, 13, 20), 5.55pm, £10–£15 (£8.50–£13.50). Previews 31 Jul–2 Aug, £8.


Sorry, but I don’t happen to believe that lifelong surveillance and surveillance-based manipulation of my choices should be the price of a public education.
A federal student unit-record system would enable the government to collect personally identifiable information on college students and link that data to lifelong workforce data.
Given all the DeVos money floating around Washington, how likely are Republicans to ask some fair but critical questions about a woman who would oversee some $70 billion annually and 5,000 public employees?
No objective data finds that a single major federal program has had any effect on any of its targeted outcomes. This ought to give Betsy DeVos some humility about her position.
In Date-onomics, Jon Birger uses data to explore the dating and marriage dilemmas that single, college-educated women face.
Sorry, AEI: More government intervention is not the answer to the college cost problems government intervention has created.
Congressional GOP leaders need to stop drinking the planned economy Kool-Aid, because it’s leading us another step closer to China’s surveillance state.
When companies collect Big Data on customers, government will view those databases as an irresistible temptation to further its will to control society.

I would look for you in your Daddy’s little boy eyes. I would try to see the little ones he would love so fiercely some day, as I love him.
and like him, I loved you before you were born.
I thought about you and wished to recall your smiles before you were even a sparkle in your Daddy’s eye.
Because I already knew your giggles and laughter would be his armour for this world. I looked for little you, to protect him with your love from whatever the trials of the future bring to him, answer it in hugging him and loving him and making him laugh just as I have done.


Drilled rotors are unnecessary unless you are tracking your car. Normal rotors dissipate heat just fine for any kind of street use. Also, unless you're buying Brembo drilled rotors, the drilling adds stress points that can crack the rotor easier.
Slotted rotors will help shed the water off the rotor like Mike said, and they'll also provide a lot more "bite" than smooth rotors. Because of this, they'll also use up your pads a little quicker, but nothing too outrageous.
I got my last two sets of rotors from R1 Concepts. Smooth for the Bonne, and slotted for the truck since I tow and need the extra "oomph" that it gives me. My next purchase will be from www.brakeperformance.com
because the offer the same products, but with lifetime warranties instead of one year.

A HUGE chlorine leak at a Mallorca hotel has poisoned more than 20 people, including children.
Rescue services from the Spanish holiday hotspot have rushed to the site of the chlorine leak at Hotel Sea Club in the resort of Alcúdia.
Mallorcan publication Cronica Balear reports that more chlorine than normal may have been added to the pool.
Hotel guests became ill around 12:30 p.m. local time (11:30 a.m. BST) in the pool area of the Sea Club Hotel in Puerto de Alcúdia.
According to the Spanish newspaper Ultima Hora, shortly after noon, bathers complained to lifeguards at the hotel pool, who then sounded the alarm and ordered everyone out of the pool.
Some holidaymakers quickly developed symptoms such as vomiting, skin irritation and itching.
Early reports claim that the pool channels, which regulate the amount of chlorine, became clogged and ruptured.
This set off a large toxic yellow cloud that floated over the pool, which was being used for an aquagym class at the time.
Health workers treated the victims in the garden area of the hotel and gave them oxygen.
In addition, hotel staff helped evacuate the site.
At least 23 people have been affected so far, including a “significant” number of children, with local reports claiming the death toll could be rising.
Diario de Mallorca reports that at least 10 children are being treated for symptoms including eye irritation and coughing.
A child under the age of seven is in a serious condition in the hospital.
A dozen have been transferred to different hospitals in Mallorca.
The Mallorcan Fire Brigade, Civil Guard and local Alcúdia police were rushed to the scene and a field hospital was set up in the pool area where the leak occurred.
So far the pool remains closed to guests while emergency crews are on site.
The Civil Guard has launched an investigation into the circumstances behind the alleged chlorine leak.
Chlorine is usually a gas, but it is usually pumped into pools in either powder or liquid form.
https://www.the-sun.com/news/5697787/majorca-gas-leak-hotel-swimming-pool-alcudia-spain/ At least 23 holidaymakers were rushed to hospital with vomiting and itching after being “poisoned” at a Spanish hotel
