The national Wales Seven's squad has had the perfect start to the nine tournament World Series with three successive wins in the pool stages of the Australian Gold Coast event
The young squad notched up impressive opening day wins on the world stage, defeating Scotland, Tonga and then England. Wales are rewarded for their wins, which were based on an intense bespoke three month conditioning and skills programme, with a quarter final showdown tomorrow (Saturday, 26 November) against super-power Fiji.
The individual and collective performances once again prove the value of an integrated player development pathway which continues to help young talent achieve full potential.
Recent graduates from the sevens programme such as national senior XV squad members Lloyd Williams of the Blues and the Ospreys Justin Tipuric, are shining examples for the current crop to follow.
The Wales Seven's squad arrived in Australia earlier this week to learn that current national sevens squad players Lewis Evans, Alex Cuthbert, had earned selection into Warren Gatland's fifteen a side squad.
Paul John's men began their series campaign with a comfortable 24-7 victory over Tonga before overcoming a stubborn Scotland side 14-12. But the men in red saved their best for last as they recorded an impressive 21-7 win in the Pool D decider over the experienced arch rivals England.
Wales will now play Fiji in the Cup quarter-final tomorrow after the south sea islanders finished second in their pool behind New Zealand.
The tournament victories and selection accolades are the latest testament to the success of sevens as an important feeder and development structure for young Welsh talent into the senior international game.
The Welsh Rugby Union pinpointed the Wales Seven's team as a key component of the elite pathway structure which delivers players through to senior honours.
The WRU Head of Rugby, Joe Lydon, said, "I am delighted that the structures we now have in place are again paying dividends.
"We recognised that the international sevens circuit is an important platform through which we can identify, nurture and develop talented young Welsh players.
"The intense training and competition programmes of the world series create a test environment for talented players and coaches who have an opportunity to compete in front of big crowds at some of the best stadiums in the world."
Lydon added, "The training and preparation structures we have in place under Head Coach Paul John also expose these young men to the kind of discipline which ensures they are able to cope with the demands of an elite environment.
"Pre-tournament conditioning with conditioning coach Wayne Proctor was a high priority ahead of this series and so far the squad appear to be reaping the rewards.
"They operate under some intense pressure but they have the support systems in place through our delivery structures to make sure they learn how to thrive on that sort of intensity.
"We are now beginning to see some meaningful examples of how players benefit from what we have put in place and make it through to the top of the game.
"Wales cannot afford to lose out on any of the available player potential we have and our policies are now working.
"An important element of this is the existence of the WRU National Centre of Excellence which is a great facility at which talented young players can refine and hone their skills.
"We are now putting in place structures which mean that coaches like Shaun Edwards, Rob Howley and Neil Jenkins will play active roles in the development of young talent alongside their commitments to the senior squad.
"All these initiatives fit a clear strategy which reaches out through the Regions and the Premiership Division into the heart of the Welsh game which is the breeding ground for talent."
Penallta are hoping to go one step further than last season when falling to Bedlinog in the WRU Plate Final. After a titanic struggle against Nant Conwy, they have given themselves a great chance, after a hard fought 18-13 semi-final victory.
The unique jeopardy of Judgement Day V has been described by stars from Cardiff Blues, Ospreys, Scarlets and Newport Gwent Dragons who will face each other in the annual double-header at Principality Stadium on 15th April.
School club hub officers in schools throughout Wales are enriching lives by helping pupils to engage more with their education, their community and improve their own outlook on life and future prospects by improving confidence and developing skills such as leadership.
WRU chief executive Martyn Phillips, WRU chairman Gareth Davies and Dragons chief executive Stuart Davies discuss the historic intentions of the governing body to assume operational control of the Newport Gwent Dragons, with a targeted completion date of 1st July.
Equal access to facilities and resources at St Helen's has seen Swansea Women flourish since being welcomed with open arms last July. Swansea RFC chairman Stephen Hughes and women's captain Siwan Lillicrap are delighted to see rapid progress being made on and off the pitch.
Young referee Ben Breakspear is making rapid strides as a referee. In just over a year he has gone from officiating a college game to being a touchline official during last weekend's RBS 6 Nations clash between Wales and Ireland at Principality Stadium.
Grand Slams, Triple Crowns and British and Irish Lions tours - Sir Gareth Edwards did it all. But what are his favourite moments in what was an amazing career? WRU TV finds out - along with his favourite players of today in the third and final instalment of our series with the greatest rugby player ever.
JPR Williams, Gerald Davies and Mervyn Davies were among those in the Welsh ranks when Sir Gareth Edwards began his international career against France nearly 50 years ago, but who was the player who took the young scrum half under their wing?
Wales head coach Rob Howley and captain Alun Wyn Jones are expecting a physical battle against France on Saturday but both are hoping for another impact from the bench as the men in red chase a top-four world ranking.
It's nearly 50 years since the great Sir Gareth Edwards made his debut as a youngster for Wales against France in Stade Colombes. In the first of a series, WRU TV discovers he pocketed a 'special momento' from the game - something he still has today.

Master your studying and reading habits early on for long-term success.
Years from now, you’ll look back on your graduate school career and wish you had known way more than you did. Don’t sweat it. You’re supposed to learn along the way. Even still, it helps to soak up any and all advice to quell your concern about embarking on this academic and professional endeavor.
Keep these nuggets of wisdom in mind to get the most out of your graduate school experience:
1. Don’t think about it as survival
While no one can deny that grad school is an intense and challenging endeavor, the key to thriving is to think about success rather than survival. Be proactive in making your own grad school experience, thinking about what you want to gain from your studies and dedicating yourself to reaching those goals.
Don’t expect professors and other faculty members to tell you exactly what to do. Instead, take initiative, make your own decisions and seek out valuable relationships with instructors. With the right mindset, you’ll find yourself making the most of your experience, rather than letting other factors rule your journey through grad school.
2. Find your groove
Figure out when, where and how you can be most productive – as quickly as possible. Test different study strategies, find your favorite cafes and libraries and practice different note-taking styles. Make your own tweaks until you find the quirks and methods that suit your learning style and schedule.
3. Be smart about reading
It feels natural to read everything from beginning to end, then think about how it fits into the bigger picture once you’re done. However, this can be overwhelmingly time-consuming, and may even turn out to be a waste of efforts if the piece ends up being unrelated to your overarching research or study objectives.
Tara Kuther, Ph.D., a professor at the Department of Psychology at Western Connecticut State University, shared a different method with PsychCentral, which is to “read with purpose.” Check out the summaries, chapter headings and bullet points, plus think about how the piece fits into your coursework – before you dive in, as well as while you read. Consider how the piece supports your argument, and highlight any surprising insights that pique your interest.
4. Ask for feedback
According to the American Psychological Association, successful graduate students go out of their way to seek out feedback on their performance. That means talking with advisors, supervisors, mentors and peers to gain valuable critiques that help you grow and improve. The Princeton Review interviewed Ph.D. students about finding success as a scholar, one of whom said: “My smartest move was getting to know several faculty members on campus besides my own research advisor.” Not only do these faculty members have great insights, but they also become perfect candidates for future reference letters!
In addition to asking about your own work, talk to other students and professors about how they approach certain concepts or research practices. Kuther further suggested talking to more advanced students, fellows or junior faculty as they “often have a great perspective and aren’t far away from being grad students themselves.”
5. Don’t focus on grades
Once you’re in grad school, it’s safe to assume that everyone around you is smart. Plus, most – if not all – students definitely want to be there because they made the decision to go back to school. Unlike undergraduate programs, grad school goes way beyond studying. Rather than cramming to ace the exam, grad school is about retaining the information. It’s an opportunity to view your studies and interactions with a professional lens, thinking ahead to how you can apply the theories and concepts in your career. This is especially true if you choose to pursue your graduate degree while maintaining a full-time job in the field.
6. Remember that balance is key
While focusing on your coursework is important, don’t forget that the nature of grad school affords you opportunities to experiment, form valuable connections, attend international research conferences, seek out training experiences, participate in diverse extracurriculars and more.
Plus, grad school is a time for development and discovery. Jennifer Doran, previous chair for the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students, aptly described this as rediscovering your adolescence. She recommended finding enjoyment in the training and experimentation that goes into developing your professional identity.
Take advantage of the perks of grad school, but try not to overwhelm yourself with how demanding the grad school experience can be. Take some time for a few deep breaths and recentering with these self-care tips. A little time for yourself can help manage stress and maintain overall well-being as you work toward your degree.
Don’t be a survivor. Instead, follow these tips to thrive in grad school, and set yourself up for significant success beyond your degree.

Supporters swarm around Venezuelan presidential candidate Hugo Chavez Frias as he arrives in Caracas for his closing campaign rally. The failed coup leader told the giant rally - attended by an estimated 700,000 people - that an unstoppable people's revolution would sweep him to victory on Sunday. The retired army officer and poll favourite blasted a ruling political class which he said was 'rottenly corrupt'. 'We're not nearing power, we've already won power,' Mr Chavez, 44, told the cheering crowds. He faces only one serious revival, reformist independent Henrique Salas, 62.

Why Women's Groups Oppose HPV Vaccines
WHY WOMEN'S GROUPS OPPOSE HPV VACCINES
Newsletter Sep 2009 - Apr 2010
EXCERPTS FROM THE PRESS RELEASE ISSUED AT THE PUBLIC EVENT
In a public meeting in New Delhi on 28 Dec 2009, women’s groups Sama Resource Group for Women and Health and Saheli Women’s Resource Centre, raised serious objections to the trials, study and marketing of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines claiming to protect young girls from cervical cancer in India. They condemned the blatant and irresponsible promotion of Gardasil and Cervarix, marketed by MSD Pharmaceuticals and Glaxo SmithKline (GSK) respectively in India for several reasons:
The large number of reported adverse reactions to the vaccines, their un-established safety, serious long term side effects, astronomical costs and the fact that vaccine requires a robust screening system for cancer in order to benefit anyone
Ethical and procedural violations in trials and studies conducted and proposed in India
Unacceptable public health implications
Illegal and alarmist promotion and advertising
Silence and inaction of part of government officials
These vaccines have been promoted heavily in U.S.A and U.K. with disastrous consequences, leaving a number of girls chronically ill with serious problems including the development of autoimmune disorders, loss of sensation and mobility and unfortunately, the death of nearly fifty young healthy girls. This has created such a strong consumer movement that within two years of introduction in the international market, the sales of Gardasil have fallen by 30% after bringing in billion of dollars in sales in its first two years.
Problems and shortcomings of HPV vaccines
Despite having being ‘studied on’ and marketed to millions of healthy girls and women the world over, here is what neither Merck nor GSK know about the vaccines they are promoting:
The manufacturers do not know the minimum effective level of anti-bodies for the vaccine to be effective. A WHO funded trial is slated to study if 2 doses of the vaccine will suffice instead of the presently used 3 dose regimen.
They do not know how long the effectiveness may last. There is firm data only for a period of 4-5 years, but cancer takes 10-20 years to develop.
Leave alone benefiting women, Gardasil can increase the chances of getting cancer by 44% in those who were already infected with the HPV subtypes 16 and 18 when vaccinated.
30% of cancer causing virus strains are not covered by these vaccines.
The vaccines have not been studied in respect of their ability to cause cancer or mutagenecity.
Effect on fertility, outcome of pregnancy and effect on breast milk have not been studied, yet they are being administered to young girls whose bodies have yet to mature.
Post marketing surveillance shows that side effects thrown up in the US are very alarming in that they point to auto-immune diseases like lupus and arthritis; blood system disorders like clotting, seizures and other nervous system disorders like Guillian Barre syndrome and ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Depression and behavioural disorders have also been reported.
Above all, a number of girls have died after receiving the vaccination.
Unethical promotion of HPV vaccines
The overt promotion of these drugs is being carried out by the two drug companies to market their products in the paying segment. GlaxoSmithKline calls it a cancer prevention vaccine and lists no side effects but advises mothers to rush to the paediatricians (indicative of reaching out to girls under 12 years of age). This is objectionable because the company has not even carried out trials in India with this age group. The package insert for Gardasil marketed by Merck fails to mention the age at which the shots are to be given and has conducted trials in India with a mere 110 girls!
The Drugs Controller of India has taken exception to the advertising by Glaxo SmithKline, but the Merck vaccine has not only been left alone but is being allowed to be used in studies in rural, tribal areas of AP and Gujarat where researchers are claiming that the effect will last a life time (no research so far suggests it), there are no side effects except for mild reaction at the injection site (denying information in the company package insert) and the vaccine will not affect fertility or the chances of having a healthy baby (which is false as the drug has caused these problems in trials done so far).
Faulty programme vision
At present a large study is being conducted by PATH, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in A.P. and Gujarat on 16,000+ girls, 10-14 yrs, to design effective and appropriate HPV vaccine delivery strategies, a communication and advocacy strategy.
Misinformation is not the only weakness of this study. Gardasil at present is being supplied for free but there is no commitment for keeping the subjects protected in the event they need booster doses. It is also worth noting that in the entire district of Khammam (A.P.) there is no screening facility available.
Disregard for the welfare of girls
All in all, there is little logic in the way this vaccine is being pushed by the licensing authorities, researchers and the governments without adequate testing and by hyping the problem of cervical cancer out of context. Since there is no plan to keep even trial subjects under protection we can safely conclude that they are just being used as guinea pigs. At best the data will come in handy to promote the vaccine in the third world for which these girls are bearing the cost – one girl has died in the course of trials already. There is no system to investigate deaths or compensate people for damages or taking punitive action against irresponsible researchers.
The money and clout of Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, have succeeded in gaining fast track clearances for these vaccines in several countries, and despite the backlash, they are all geared up to expand sales in the less developed world without any regard to the ground realities.
The story of HPV vaccines in India is one of blatant collusion of multinational corporations and business interests, international NGOs and government agencies. However, the State bears the final responsibility for the situation, and the State must act in the interests of the health of the women and children of India.
Hence we demand:
Immediate stoppage of all HPV vaccine studies
Follow up of study subjects be conducted and made public
Public clarification/apology from GlaxoSmithKline for the alarm created by its advertising blitz
Withdrawal of all promotional activity by MSD pharmaceuticals
Augmentation of screening facilities
Awareness creation government IEC programmes on Reproductive Tract Infections (RTI), Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) and cancers, including cervical cancer, with a focus on screening as the best course of action
Fix the liability on government officials/institutions with respect to ethical, legal, medical violations in the case of HPV vaccines
Punitive action against all erring parties
Enforcement of mandatory registration of all clinical trials
Re-think on matters of public policy: per capita expenditure on serious illnesses must correspond to levels of morbidity/mortality
The UPA government must fulfill its election promise of increasing the health budget to 3% of GDP

Incoming Minnesota men's tennis student-athlete Felix Corwin added to his impressive tennis resume at the USTA National Winter Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz. last week. The Brookfield, Wis. native, five-star recruit according to tennisrecruiting.net, won the tournament's doubles title and came in fourth in the singles competition.
Along with Illinois native Aron Hiltzik, Corwin won the doubles competition, making it through a field of 64 tandems. The duo's final two matches were won in three sets.
After reaching the Round of 16 with three straight-set wins in a 128-player singles draw, Corwin moved on to the singles quarterfinal with a comeback 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory. He then won 7-5, 6-3 in the quarterfinal before bowing out in the semifinal match
Corwin is the top-ranked player in the state of Wisconsin and is No. 4 in the Midwest Section. He won the Wisconsin state singles title in 2013 as a junior and was a runner up as a sophomore in 2012. He also claimed the 2012 USTA National Open 18s championship in St. Louis, Mo.

Slot machines have been a cornerstone of the gambling and entertainment industry for decades. Their flashing lights, mesmerizing sounds, and promise of life-changing jackpots draw in countless players worldwide. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies a complex system of algorithms that determine the outcomes of each spin. The question that has intrigued players and researchers alike is: Are pgslot machines truly random?
The Illusion of Randomness: Pseudo-Random Number Generators (PRNGs)
While slot machines appear to produce random results, they do so through a mechanism known as a pseudorandom number Generator (PRNG). PRNGs are mathematical algorithms that generate sequences of numbers that appear random but are determined by an initial value called a seed. In the context of slot machines, this seed value is often based on a variable like the current time, making it seem like the outcome is arbitrary.
The Challenge of True Randomness
Achieving true randomness in the context of computers and algorithms is remarkably challenging. Computers are inherently deterministic machines, so producing genuinely random numbers is paradoxical. Hardware-based random number generators attempt to tap into unpredictable physical processes like electronic noise to generate randomness, but these methods are still debated for their absolute randomness.
In slot machines, true randomness would require an external entropy source, like atmospheric noise or radioactive decay, to seed the random number generation. However, such sources are difficult to implement within the confines of a casino environment. As a result, using PRNGs remains the prevalent method for determining slot machine outcomes.
Regulations and Fair Play
Gambling authorities impose strict regulations on using PRNGs in slot machines to ensure fairness and prevent manipulation. Regulatory bodies require casinos to meet specific standards regarding randomness and payout percentages. Independent testing agencies audit these machines to ensure compliance with regulations.
In some jurisdictions, casinos must publicly display their slot machines’ payout percentages. This transparency allows players to make informed decisions about their gambling choices and promotes a sense of trust in the industry. If a casino fails to adhere to these regulations, they can face substantial fines and even lose their gambling license.
The Role of Return to Player (RTP)
Return to Player (RTP) is crucial in understanding slot machine algorithms. RTP refers to the percentage of all wagered money a slot machine is programmed to pay back to players over time. It does not indicate how much a specific player will win during a session but rather a long-term average across all players.
Slot machines are designed with a specific RTP percentage determined by the game’s design and programming. For example, a slot machine with an RTP of 95% will, on average, pay back $95 for every $100 wagered over its operational lifetime. This built-in house edge ensures that casinos generate profits while still providing the possibility of winning for players.
Slot machines may not rely on true randomness in the mathematical sense. Still, using pseudorandom number Generators ensures that their outcomes are sufficiently unpredictable and maintain the excitement and suspense that players seek. Slotregulations and auditing practices are in place to guarantee fair play and uphold the integrity of the gambling industry.

CARDIFF’S Bradley Dredge stayed in contention for a decent pay cheque tomorrow at the Commercialbank Qatar Masters, in Doha.
The two-time European Tour winner carded a second round 71 to be one under par and six shots off the pace set by surprise Austrian package Markus Brier.
As for the rest of the Welsh challenge just two more joined Dredge for the final two rounds – Barry Islander Stephen Dodd and Pontypridd-born Jamie Donaldson – and they right on the cut mark of three over par.
Newport-based Phillip Price was one shot adrift of the cut while Chepstow’s Liam Bond was six over and Bridgend pro Rhys Davies again had a disappointing day finishing 11 over.
Brier, who had to return to the European Tour qualifying school last November, added a 66 to his 71 to reach halfway on seven under par in much less windy conditions than for the opening round.

Abstract: In this paper, the impact of advertisement on the competitiveness of supply chains is examined with a price and advertising sensitive linear deterministic demand. Within the two supply chains investigated, two retailers compete for supply to customers and two manufacturers compete for advertisement. The pricing and the advertising level decisions in the system are analysed by two two-stage Stackelberg games with different decision rights designated to the parties involved. The manufacturers first set the advertising levels. Then, the retailers choose the retail prices simultaneously and independently. The retail price equilibrium and the advertising level equilibrium are characterised in centralised supply chain and in decentralised supply chain. Also, this paper shows how the optimal retail prices and advertising levels change with system parameters. In the system, there is an optimal degree of demand substitution, which minimises the manufacturer|s advertising investment cost. Moreover, as retailer 1|s market potential increases, the average advertising level decreases in the industry.
Keywords: supply chain management; SCM; optimal pricing; competition; optimal advertising levels; deterministic demand; Stackelberg game; Nash equilibrium; advertisement; supply chain competitiveness; optimal retail prices; centralised supply chains; decentralised supply chains.

text: Recently we described the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation by contact sensitizers as an early molecular event during the activation of antigen- presenting cells. In this study, the role of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase for the activation of human monocytes after exposure to four structurally unrelated contact sensitizers was analyzed in comparison with the irritant benzalkonium chloride and an inductor of oxidative stress (H2O2) using immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques. Bio chemical analysis revealed a translocation of p38 from the cytoplasm to the detergent-resistant cell fraction only upon stimulation with contact sensitizers. The activity of p38 was studied by quantification of its phosphorylated active form with a specific antibody and by kinase assay. Although all stimulants used in this study led to the activation of p38, a translocation to the detergent-resistant fraction as well phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase dependent transcription factor Elk-1 was induced only by contact sensitizers. Evidence for a functional relevance of mitogen-activated protein kinase activation was provided by measurement of the hapten-induced production of the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1beta. Its release was inhibited by blocking p38-mediated signaling using the imidazole compounds SB203580 and SB202190. These data show that contact sensitizers are strong activators of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Although activation of this stress-associated pathway has been reported for many other stimuli, a unique translocation of p38 from the cytoplasm to the detergent-resistant fraction seems to be a specific event during hapten-induced activation of antigen-presenting cells.

Cocccon is one of the leading fashion companies to self-introduce the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals into its agenda. The fashion industry has a significant impact on the development of our planet. Being the second highest users of water worldwide, the industry produces 20% of global water waste and generates 10% of all global carbon emissions. Farming related to fashion is responsible for 24% of insecticides and 11% of pesticides despite using only 3% of the planet’s arable land. As far as waste is concerned, 85% of textiles are sent to landfills, i.e. 21 billion tons each year. Beyond the environmental impact, the fashion industry is closely linked to labour, gender and poverty issues. Sadly, the exploitation of workers, child labour and unhygienic working condition are well known in our fashion industry. Understanding all these issues where the development of the fashion sector has a negative impact on ecology and society, project Cocccon promise to implement SDGs as follows...
Despite a recent economic boom in India, many regions remain severely underprivileged. Jharkhand is India’s second poorest state. The easiest way to avoid poverty in the villages, is to migrate to large cities or richer states within India, where these people live in dirty shanties and have low wage employment such as construction or household work. All the major fashion companies in India are based in large cities.
Cocccon has chosen to change the trend. Our project was born in the poorest remote part of Jharkhand, allowing people to work from home and provide economic perspective without having to move to cities. A decentralized way of work was constructed. Silk farming, degumming, spinning, reeling, weaving and printing workshops were established near the villages.
Workers are provided living wages as per ILO guidelines, which is audited by (GOTS) Global Organic Textile Standard. Over the previous 6 years, 360 citizens have begun working for Cocccon and benefitting from economic self-independence. Cocccon anticipate employing 1000 & more people direct from their villages by 2020.
Project Cocccon is based in a location where malnutrition and hunger related deaths were often reported. However, organic horticulture of silk host trees has resulted in reclaiming the lost biodiversity of nature in the region. The silkworm litter, or faucal matter, is utilised as high grade organic manure for farming. With this, in 2017, an outstanding positive result was developed with rice cultivation after four years of trial. The first rice crop was extremely successful. Local farmers considered it to be a rebirth of the local agronomy and are now self-dependent with their food culture. In 2020 villagers are already expecting over production of organic rice.
Most of the workers or farmers have had negative impacts on their health due to excessive use of toxic chemicals in silk production processes. Project Cocccon has banned all these toxins from its entire development chain. Herbal spray is created by mixing various herbs and plants to get rid of fungus and insects from the host tree. This has made vast progress in the health of the farmers. Asthma or skin diseases has been eradicated. Regular health check-ups are arranged for employees and their families every month for free. By 2020 all employees will be insured under National Health Protection Scheme.
Project Cocccon has further assisted villagers to construct toilets in their homes in order to provide comfort and privacy. Therefore, Project Cocccon villages are 100% Open Defecation Free.
In addition, regular yoga and meditation camps are organised to promote good physical and mental well-being.
We strive to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Project Cocccon operates a Primary School in PPP model with the local village school at our silk farm. The children of employees are receiving modern quality education at no cost, so in the future they can transform our project into a technology based company. Regular visits from German and English pedagogists provides them with extra resources and knowledge.
Project Cocccon provides equal wages to its male and female staff members. The majority of the higher posts are given to women in the company in order to promote gender equality and respect. Project Cocccon offers free training to aspiring weavers and designers at our facilities. This is taken good care that girl kids from the village attend school. For that special arrangements are made like separate toilets etc.
The fashion industry is one of the major instigators of ground water toxication throughout India. Ground water in textile producing regions are not potable or usable in daily life. Project Cocccon do not use any toxic chemicals from farm to factory. Waste water from printing and finishing is recycled and reused for further use through our in-house bio-ETP plant.
Four out of our 20 power looms have been upgraded with solar powered motors. Spinning and reeling is completely processed either manually or with solar machines. This makes 70% of our spinning and weaving operation zero-carbon. Water supply is done using solar pumping machine.
Project Cocccon began with five village women in the year 2011 and now has a strong work force of 360 employed staff. From a few kilograms of organic silk in the year 2012 to 7 MT of ready to use products in the year 2018. Project Cocccon has seen strong economic growth where profit feeds back into the community.
Project Cocccon is working on the concept of industry 4.0, where silk will be used in many technology-based products including Lithium batteries or surgical transplantations in the near future.

The Glam Pad has written extensively about the latest design “trend” identified by House Beautiful in 2019… Actually, it isn’t a trend at all, but a wave of “Grandmillennials,” identified as the mid-20s to late-30s generation, who “have an affinity for design trends considered by mainstream culture to be ‘stuffy’ or ‘outdated’ — Laura Ashley prints, ruffles, embroidered linens…”
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we just have to share this fabulous article from House & Home touting the rise of Grandmillennial Style. (We are also delighted to have been referenced!) For those of us who love traditional design, this is just such exciting news. This movement has been growing for some time now, but now that we are all confined to our homes, more than ever we want to create a beautiful sanctuary. House & Home says, “In a time of growing global unease, this comforting style is a small panacea for the unrest in the world. It’s also a reaction to the spare, Scandi minimalist aesthetic that, though photogenic, is somewhat generic.”
House & Home has identified 20 hallmarks of Grandmillennial Style:
1. Matching Layers: coordinating drapery, pleated bell lampshades and ultra-padded headboards!
3. Grand Chandeliers: Hello sparkling crystals, goodby funky!
8. Scenic wallpapers from Gracie, Zuber and de Gournay
9. Blue and white ginger jars
11. Floral wallpaper
12. Gold-leaf mirrors
13. Trellis Motifs
15. Gallery walls
18. Tropical touches
19. Skirted sofas
20. Sterling silver: This one is my own addition… I haven’t seen anyone really talking about it yet, but they will. This is a generation who appreciates the history and permanence of Nana’s silver. Furthermore, as we head into a recession, it is never a bad idea to have silver on hand.
Below are images from the Instagram account of Amy Berry, a poster child for the Grandmillennial movement…
A recent article from One Kings Lane features an interview with the legendary Carleton Varney and his thoughts on the future of decorating… After years of lamenting “young people who want fast design,” Mr. Varney finally has hope for the future generations of interior design…
“The Buatta-loving, ruffle-wearing grandmillennials are ready to take the helm and steer us into a brightly colored future, he says, though he warns that they’re up against a ‘very forceful opposite.’ Luckily, ‘there will always be a group that’s classic, and thank God they still want us to decorate for them.'” ~Carleton Varney via One Kings Lane

My mother-in-law couldn’t give her sterling silver flatware away to any of her children. None of them wanted it — too much work, too much time spent polishing! Given the current situation, I will take out my silver and give it a nice polish up. Good thing I’ve got plenty of Cape Cod polish handy!
I always am excited to open my email and see that there’s a new one from you! Now that we are staying home to help prevent the spread of the corona virus, your articles are especially appreciated. Please keep them coming! Thank you!
Thank you, Laura! 🙂

Sheltering in place reminds us how important it is to make our nests cozy and inviting. I’m enjoying being at home and taking the opportunity to cocoon and finish a few projects that I haven’t had time for. Thanks for another good post. Hope everyone here stays well.
Cheers to the Grandmillenial Style !!! So excited to see many of the younger generation begin appreciating interiors with color, antiques, crystal, silver, wallpaper and all that makes a home comfortable and welcoming with a hint of elegance. Thank you, Andrea, for your unwavering classic style and the beautiful way you keep us informed on what is ahead in the design world.

Yes, to everything but the ruffles!
The phrase “begin to appreciate” frustrates me so much. I’m on the higher end of the millennial train but some of us HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE! We’ve been studying at our mother’s knees for years, wondered what was wrong with us in our 20’s, shuddered at what passes as “trendy” now, and finally have come to a strong ownership of ourselves and what we like in our 30’s. The good silver was sold long ago to make ends meet, I have two sets of china and a growing set of transferware. The family furniture pieces I do have have been rubbed and loved. I collect trench art, antique linens, antique quilts, and old military photos. I have an appreciation of yesterday and the classics. Trust me, we’ve been here all along.
What is trench art?
i love this article. I am a through and through grand millenial. Do Monograms count as this style too? I absolutely love monogrammed bed linens. Yes family silver, china, crystal, napkins, tablecloths and manners are all grand millenials!
In my case i love old music too – so in addition to a comfy home, i will always have some good records on my vintage player!
Our daughter LOVES our Chantilly sterling! She uses ours since we moved to Lake Chapala, Mexico. We have a service for 16 and TONS of serving pieces….
She married a wonderful fellow with ready made daughters so now with husbands, babies and boyfriends there is plenty for all! We are now moving back after 10 years but I do think we will stilll leave it at her home….maybe we’ll swap and we’ll take her 18th Century!! ?
You forgot monogramming…….?
Love this article and learned so much! I’ve searched high and low trying to find the clear chandelier in the first picture and I can’t seem to find it 🙁 can you please please please let me know where to find it!? Thank you so much!


The AP news item about nuclear missiles leapt off my computer screen this morning like some anachronistic flash-back to the Cold War.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force stripped an unprecedented 17 officers of their authority to control — and, if necessary, launch — nuclear missiles after a string of unpublicized failings, including a remarkably dim review of their unit’s launch skills. The group’s deputy commander said it is suffering “rot” within its ranks.
“We are, in fact, in a crisis right now,” the commander, Lt. Col. Jay Folds, wrote in an internal email obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed by the Air Force.
Back in the day, and I’m talking a half century here, my Naval duty involved tactical nuclear torpedos and now comes this stark reminder that nuclear weapons not only still exist but are still causing concerns about their safety. Was a shaky finger on the nuclear trigger here? Surely controls have improved in the past five decades, I thought, since I had the unpleasant duty to be in charge of some of the things. I still can’t reveal some specifics but I can tell you, dear reader, that there were relatively few physical controls back then. There was a hell of a lot of paperwork of course and a very intensive program to screen out of the program anyone who might be in any way unstable, at least to the extent personnel records go, but there was nothing that would have physically kept our CO and XO from agreeing just between the two of them to fire the things off. I can’t think of anyone on our ship who didn’t frankly dislike these horrendous weapons, if for no other reason that in port the security precautions were particularly onerous.
The proposed tactics were simple. Fire at as long a range as possible and run like hell. That’s what Cold War paranoia appeared to engender in those days, a philosophy of ready, fire, aim.
I sincerely hoped that things hadn’t deteriorated as much as the AP article implies and, as it often does, Wikipedia came to the rescue. It turns out that not long after my own experience, something called a Permissive Action Link (PAL) was developed. It is “a security device for nuclear weapons. Its purpose is to prevent unauthorized arming or detonation of the nuclear weapon.” PAL’s now have a long history and their effectiveness and complexity have been steadily enhanced, according to the article, to the point where I wondered after reading whether PAL’s have become so complex as to possibly prevent a launch that is fully authorized.
Thus, the concern over the Air Force problem, the “rot” within the ranks of the missile personnel, is not that it could be launched irresponsibly but that the most unreliable part of the strategic defense system, the human part, might not be up to the task of launching the ICBM promptly according to orders,. It is clearly, as a commenter late in the article implied, a case of trying to keep up a state of high efficiency and attention to detail in a business that’s terribly serious but where nothing real ever happens, or as he put it,
The nuclear air force is suffering from a deep malaise caused by the declining relevance of their mission since the Cold War’s end over 20 years ago,” Blair said in an interview. “Minuteman launch crews have long been marginalized and demoralized by the fact that the Air Force’s culture and fast-track careers revolve around flying planes, not sitting in underground bunkers baby-sitting nuclear-armed missiles.
Not every country has pucker-strings as tight as ours about this stuff, however, according to the Wikipedia article:
In 2007 the UK Government revealed that its nuclear weapons were not equipped with Permissive Action Links. Instead, the UK’s nuclear bombs to be dropped by aircraft were armed by just inserting a key into a simple lock similar to those used to protect bicycles from theft. The UK withdrew all air-launched bombs in 1998. The current UK Trident warheads can also be launched by a submarine commander with the support of his crew without any code being transmitted from the chain of command.
The whole article on PAL’s is worth reading, trust me. It reads like a Tom Clancy novel. It turns out, amazingly, that The People’s Republic of China, no less, once requested we give them our PAL technology so they could improve their own safety. (We declined.)
The biggest concern I have after reading the article is the apparent lack of controls by some of the other nuclear nations, and Pakistan particularly. It’s not reassuring. How, I wonder, do Pakistani missile personnel while away their time while waiting for the launch signal and just how tight are their pucker-strings?

Philip Betz has started a new position in Monmouth College’s office of enrollment management.
Betz will serve as director of admissions, reporting to Omar Correa, vice president for enrollment management.
For the past seven years, Betz had two terms of employment at his alma mater, Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., serving for the past 10 months as associate director of admission. He was part of a team that recruited three of the four largest classes in PLU’s history.
“The addition of Phil to our enrollment management team continues Monmouth College’s emphasis on hiring individuals from strong institutions and from programs that have been successful,” said MC president Mauri Ditzler.
As an undergraduate, Betz majored in education, and his first job was as a high school history teacher and basketball coach in California. While studying for his MBA at PLU’s School of Business, Betz also served as a financial adviser.
In his new role at Monmouth, Betz will be charged with motivating and coaching Monmouth’s staff to help the college reach its enrollment goals. That staff will soon grow with the announcement of new hires.
“I’m excited about growing our Fall 2013 class and about working with an expanded staff,” said Betz. “It will be exciting to integrate them into our team and have them on the ground.”
Betz, who lives in Monmouth with his wife, Cassie, said he is also happy to “see the sun” on a more regular basis after living in the Pacific Northwest.

The next instalment of tax changes affecting landlords and investors in buy-to-let properties takes effect from 6 April.
George Osborne’s reform of tax relief on buy-to-let residential mortgage interest was announced in the summer 2015 Budget. The change began in April 2017, with the full effect not felt until 2020/21.
Borrowers will get a 20% tax credit on interest under the new scheme, instead of deducting interest against rental income. This is equivalent to basic rate relief, and it increases borrowing costs for higher or additional rate taxpayers. The change is being phased in until 2020/21. The amount of interest deductible against rental income is 75% for 2017/18, reducing by 25% each year after. Borrowers can claim 25% of the tax credit in 2017/18, increasing by 25% a year to reach 100% from 2020/21.
One consequence is that taxable income will increase. This can have unfortunate tax side effects – for example, pushing a borrower over an important tax threshold such as the £100,000 income level at which the personal allowance begins to be tapered away.
In the longer term, the impact of the reform could be significant for higher and additional rate taxpayers. The switch to a 20% tax credit could even turn a profit into a loss for a higher rate taxpayer.
Some buy-to-let investors are planning to sell in the face of the growing tax burden. If that includes you, talk to us about all your options.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) does not regulate tax advice. Levels and bases of taxation and tax reliefs are subject to change and their value depends on individual circumstances. Tax laws can change. Business buy-to-let and commercial mortgages are not regulated by the FCA. Think carefully before securing other debts against your home.

nervous system disorder
-- Diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. This includes disorders of the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscle.
-- A cognitive disorder marked by an impaired ability to comprehend or express language in its written or spoken form. This condition is caused by diseases which affect the language areas of the dominant hemisphere. Clinical features are used to classify the various subtypes of this condition. General categories include receptive, expressive, and mixed forms of aphasia.
-- A language dysfunction characterized by the inability to name people and objects that are correctly perceived. The individual is able to describe the object in question, but cannot provide the name. This condition is associated with lesions of the dominant hemisphere involving the language areas, in particular the TEMPORAL LOBE. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p484)
-- Conditions characterized by deficiencies of comprehension or expression of written and spoken forms of language. These include acquired and developmental disorders.
-- sudden neurologic impairment due to a cerebrovascular disorder, either an arterial occlusion or an intracranial hemorrhage.
Receptive aphasia (finding)
-- An acquired organic mental disorder with loss of intellectual abilities of sufficient severity to interfere with social or occupational functioning. The dysfunction is multifaceted and involves memory, behavior, personality, judgment, attention, spatial relations, language, abstract thought, and other executive functions. The intellectual decline is usually progressive, and initially spares the level of consciousness.
-- Disorders of verbal and nonverbal communication caused by receptive or expressive LANGUAGE DISORDERS, cognitive dysfunction (e.g., MENTAL RETARDATION), psychiatric conditions, and HEARING DISORDERS.
-- Disturbance, impairment or abnormality of function.
-- Objective evidence of disease perceptible to the examining physician.
-- A definite pathologic process with a characteristic set of signs and symptoms. It may affect the whole body or any of its parts, and its etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown.
-- An indication that a person has a condition or disease. Some examples of symptoms are headache, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and pain.
-- Severe psychological and/or spiritual distress.
-- Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
-- broad class of diseases whose causative agents may be passed between individuals in many different ways.
-- Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms that can cause pathological conditions or diseases.
SPONDYLOMETAEPIPHYSEAL DYSPLASIA, SHORT LIMB-HAND TYPE
Complete Hearing Loss

The following quote from ACS Publications Inorganic Chemisty Journal is telling - The point here is that energy storage needed for solar Personalised Energy (PE) is currently within reach of the chemist with the design of catalysts that effectively promote eq 1 or 2 in the forward (solar storage) and reverse (fuel cell) directions.
Personalized energy (PE) is a transformative idea that provides a new modality for the planet’s energy future. By providing solar energy to the individual, an energy supply becomes secure and available to people of both legacy and nonlegacy worlds and minimally contributes to an increase in the anthropogenic level of carbon dioxide. Because PE will be possible only if solar energy is available 24 h a day, 7 days a week, the key enabler for solar PE is an inexpensive storage mechanism. HY (Y = halide or OH−) splitting is a fuel-forming reaction of sufficient energy density for large-scale solar storage. Read the full article

Organiser: Chris Russell
So my Dad wants to go to Taupo and use my car but he has kindly offered to drop us off somewhere on the way and then pick us up on his way home. This means we have the opportunity to do a point to point tramp, rather than a loop! I thought this would be a good chance to explore the Hauhungaroa range / Pureora forest which is somewhere I’ve never been.
Friday leave the hunter carpark at like 3pm at the latest. Drive to the start of the Waihaha track on SH32 which will take about 5 hours. Walk for 3 (DOC time) hours to Waihaha hut in the dark (bring head torches and spare batteries!). We will get takeaways on the way up of course.
Saturday walk 8.5 (DOC time) hours to Bog Inn Hut.
Sunday walk 3.5 (DOC time) hours to where the Mount Pureroa track meets link road where my Dad will pick us up (link road for some reason exists on topo maps but kind of disappears on google maps, but DOC is sure this road exists). Then we drive back home yay
We would only be taking my car otherwise things get complicated and Bog Inn Hut only has 4 bunks anyway.
Food would be do your own thing.
Could be pushed to the weekend after if the weather is bad.
This is like a medium - medium hard trip
Edit: Postponed to 16th because of bad weather
Edit: Postoned again because of bad weather, Jan the 13th-15th is a rough date we could maybe try again
Edit: Gonna try do this just after christmas??
