Constructed with a fin design with an optimized aspect ratio, the liquid cold plates offer improved thermal performance, says the manufacturer. The cold plates are lightweight and compatible with industry-accepted coolants. They have been leak-tested to 100 psi and have industry-standard inlet/outlet hole sizes. Customizable aspects of the design include size, hole patterns and connections for device mounting. Liquid cold plates are a way to implement localized cooling of power electronics by transferring heat from the device to a liquid that flows to a remote heat exchanger and dissipates the heat into either the ambient or to another liquid in a secondary cooling system. The internal fin structure enhances the surface area of the cold plates to maximize heat transfer with low pressure-drop characteristics. The fin structure also provides uniform cold plate surface temperature to optimize the cooling of high powered devices such as IGBT.

Special screening of Panther for security personnel
The latest Jeet and Shraddha Das-starrer - Panther – which is high on patriotism - had a special screening for defence and security personnel of Bengal in Kolkata on Friday. Director Anshuman Pratyush welcomed the guests and hoped the film would strike a chord with the security personnel who ensure the safety of India putting their lives at stake and also appeal to the wider audience.
Jeet along with Shraddha and other casts of the film were present along with senior police officials. “Holding a tiranga gives me goosebumps,” said Jeet.
Panther is an action thriller and its box office launch is timed to click with the Independence Day. The hero holding a tricolour in the poster is aimed at igniting the patriotic fervour among the audience. The film features Jeet as a RAW agent who is out on a secret mission with his crack team to foil a terrorist attack. The songs in the film Vande Mataram and item number Marhaba keeps the patriotic and entertainment quotient high.
Jeet has worked with actor Saswata for the first time in the film. Model-turned-actor Abhishek Singh, a member of Jeet’s Panther team, who adeptly fits into his role, is sure to get noticed.

Mayors, police chiefs and prosecutors across the Twin Cities are vowing to band together to slow a surge in violent crime that is roiling the region, but exactly how to do that remains unclear.
The group convened Monday to zero in on a recent rise in vehicle thefts and violent carjackings dozens of officials said requires better collaboration between cities and suburbs, as well as police and prosecutors.
"We can't incarcerate our way out of this problem," said Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, who proposed reconstituting an 1990s-era crime prevention program that helped reduce violent crime in the "Murderapolis" era.
Yet friction soon emerged among the dozens of officials who packed a conference room in Eden Prairie. Some chiefs said that repeat offenders were the biggest problem, while prosecutors countered that they can only press charges in cases with sufficient evidence. Some mayors said residents and businesses in their communities are frustrated and eager for solutions as the crimes continue to confound authorities.
"We are here because our businesses and our residents tell us they are frightened and they want to know what we're going to do about it," said Maplewood Mayor Marylee Abrams.
Officials had such high interest in the meeting that the organizer, the Regional Council of Mayors, moved it to a larger location at Eden Prairie City Hall. Speakers included Freeman, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi, Minnesota Commissioner of Corrections Paul Schnell, Hennepin County Sheriff David Hutchinson and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Minneapolis police reported more than 600 attempted or successful carjackings in 2021. The crime spree has spilled into the suburbs, including Edina, St. Louis Park, Eden Prairie, Robbinsdale, Roseville, Maplewood and Woodbury.
"This is not suburban vs. urban. We are all in this together," said Eden Prairie Mayor Ron Case. "Eden Prairie does not exist if the core cities are not successful."
Choi and Frey both spoke of expanding programs that use a carrot-and-stick approach to support teens and young adults. Many officials also expressed support for law enforcement, who in recent weeks have openly criticized prosecutors for what they say is a failure to hold criminals accountable.
"We have to stop thinking that somehow the police are the problem. They are not. They are part of the solution, but for too long what we've been doing is we've been putting everything on the police," Choi said. "... What we really need to start doing is working together to understand the complexity of the problem."
But Maple Grove Police Chief Eric Werner, who is president of the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association, said law enforcement jobs have only gotten more difficult as crime rises and the perception of police shifts.
"The bad guys see us as not having validity," Werner said.
A group of west metro mayors and police chiefs hosted a similar meeting Dec. 17 after a spate of violent suburban carjackings shocked residents in Edina and St. Louis Park.
"When one city experiences an increase in crime, it affects all of us," the mayors of Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka and Plymouth said in a joint statement following the December meeting. "Together, we are committed to protecting our residents and preserving the high quality-of-life every person deserves."
Property crimes, particularly those targeting or involving automobiles and their parts, surged significantly in those cities and in nearby St. Louis Park. The six cities together experienced at least 550 catalytic converter thefts, and most saw incidents involving drivers fleeing in a motor vehicle more than double.
In the wake of a grocery store parking lot carjacking in Edina, the police department rolled out a voluntary program for residents to register home surveillance cameras in a database used in investigations. More than 100 homeowners registered within days.
The west metro mayors also vowed to strengthen partnerships with law enforcement and the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, which on Monday announced it will re-launch a public-private partnership called MN HEALS 2.0. Freeman said it's a "rebirth" of MN HEALS — Minnesota Hope, Education, and Law and Safety — initiated in 1997 to reduce violent crime.
The revamped partnership will focus on violent carjackings by juveniles, said Freeman, who announced Sept. 1 that he does not plan to seek re-election after more than 20 years in the post.
Freeman also promised to ramp up prosecution of carjackings.
"These are violent and scary cases for the victims who are carjacked, some happening in broad daylight outside the grocery store or their homes," he said in a news release.
Staff writers Jeff Hargarten and David Chanen contributed to this report.

Kerala [India], Feb20 (ANI): In a recent development in the famous Kerala Love Jihad case, Hadiya has filed an affidavit before the Supreme Court, stating that she is a Muslim and wants to remain the same.
She also stated that she wants to remain as the wife of Safi Jahan.
On January 23, 2018, the three-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra, said, "Marriage has to be separate from criminal activity, otherwise we will be creating a bad precedent in law". The bench further added that "We cannot go into the marriage, whether the person she married is a good human being or a bad human being. The NIA can investigate all other aspects, except her marriage."
The bench posted the matter for further hearing to February 22.
On November 27, last year, the Supreme Court had in its order directed that Hadiya be taken to Shivaraj, Homeopathy college at Salem, Tamil Nadu, to continue her 11-month studies.
The college was further ordered to make all the arrangements for her necessary hostel facilities to complete her studies. The Supreme Court had also said that the Dean of the university will act as her local guardian.
Going back to the year 2016, when the girl went missing and her father filed a case in the High Court, stating that his daughter was a victim of love Jihad. The High Court annulled Hadiya's marriage with the observation that she was a "weak and vulnerable girl capable of being exploited" Court also said in its order that "Shefin Jahan is one such person who has been assigned to play the role of going through a sham of a marriage with Ms. Akhila, with the object of transporting her out of India".
Hadiya, who grew up as Akhila Ashokan, converted her name to Islam and insisted in the High Court that it was a personal choice. (ANI)

By: Femme Brulée
It can be hard to know how to break into the burlesque scene. Boston has a pretty large and established community of performers, but if you don’t personally know any of them, it can be difficult or intimidating to make a connection with performers and learn how to get involved.
I wanted to do burlesque for a while before I actually got involved. I have a background in dance, and loved the aesthetic of vintage lingerie, so the medium seemed like a perfect combination of those interests. When I was getting started back in 2007, the vibrant Boston burlesque scene that we have now didn’t exist. There were a few troupes in the area, but the community network wasn’t there. In my efforts to get involved, I found Big Moves, a dance, theater, and cabaret troupe for dancers of all sizes. I auditioned and performed with the troupe for one season, but it wasn’t as burlesque-based as I had hoped. However, as a result of being part of Big Moves, I was lucky enough to have an opportunity delivered right to me in my inbox. A performer named Sugar Dish was looking for local performers for a new burlesque and dance show based on the Nutcracker called The Slutcracker. It was a no-brainer. I took a dive into the glittery pool of burlesque, and I haven’t looked back.
I didn’t just join the Slutcracker and magically become a polished performer and producer. Femme Brulée didn’t really exist until the following summer, When Petey Gibson and Karin Webb of Axe to Ice Productions wanted to create a showcase for the community that formed as a result of the Slutcracker. I volunteered to do graphic design and perform in whatever capacity they needed. They didn’t know me very well and took a leap of faith and cast me to do a series of interstitial acts. They loved what I did, and asked me to be a core member of their new monthly show, Bent Wit Cabaret, at a then new venue, OBERON. As I took on more and more responsibility, they asked me to co-produce with them. When Axe to Ice disbanded, Jane Doe and I created Sparkletown Productions, and then later with Lolli Hoops we created Alterna-TEASE: The New England Neo-Burlesque Festival.
At the risk of sounding old, my experience getting started in burlesque is different than what it’s like today. We didn’t have many shows to perform in, so we created them (this is still something you can do with a lot of hard work and love, but I don’t recommend starting there). Below is a list of Do’s and Don’ts written from my perspective mostly as a producer who hires performers from our community, but also as a performer. This list is by no means hard and fast, and other people will have other tips. I could write about this forever, but this list is already too long for our short attention spans in the digital age!
Do attend local burlesque shows, and go to a variety of shows. Boston has a lot of different burlesque styles: sexy, horror, nerdy, comedy, dance-based, and plain old weird. You might find that some producers/'troupes’ work speak to you more than others. If you can, try to chat with a performer or the producer after a show, if they’re available. Let them know you’re just getting started. They’ll probably have some encouraging words, and they’ll probably remember you the next time they see you out.
Don’t expect a producer to put you in their show if you’ve never been to one of their shows, and/or they’ve never seen you perform. If you’re trying to get booked with an out-of-town producer, be sure to send video and photos of your work.
Do take a class. Rogue Burlesque runs some great beginner and intermediate classes. Dale Stones of Sirlesque offers classes specifically in the art of boylesque, for masculine presenting performers. Taking a dance class at the Dance Complex or an improv class at Improv Boston can help you become more comfortable in your skin and on stage. Alterna-TEASE offers master classes from visiting performers and headliners in August during the festival, and periodically as performers come through town. In addition, a group of local performers is currently organizing to offer a broader range of classes to help improve your performance, so stay tuned!
Don’t worry if dance is not your forté. There are many different kinds of burlesque, and you don’t have to be a master dancer to perform. However, taking a class is still helpful for learning stage presence, poise, and general movement.
Do compete in Rogue’s Lucky 13! Lucky 13 is an amateur burlesque competition. Rogue guides you through the process and offers feedback as you prepare for the competition. The night of the competition is super fun, and is judged by the audience and seasoned performers. Producers frequently come to Lucky 13 to scout new talent, so it’s a great way to be seen. Dale Stones’ All Male Yardsale is another great competition focusing on boylesque.
Don’t let your nerves get the best of you at these competitions. Easier said than done, I know. But honestly, if you let yourself have fun, your performance will be 1000% better than if you’re worried about hitting every choreographed step. Also, winning a competition does NOT make or break your burlesque career!
Do reach out to producers about performing, and offer to volunteer to kitten, work the door, stage hand, or flyer for shows. Volunteering will give you a glimpse behind the scenes of how shows run, what is typical back stage, and shows producers that you are dedicated to the community and are willing to work hard (and have fun!).
Approaching producers about performing can be a little nerve-wracking, but we don’t bite! A great place to start is with Punk Rockin’ and Pastie Poppin’, which happens every second Monday at the Midway Café in Jamaica Plain. Started by Dinah DeVille as a venue for punk-style burlesque and acts that might be a little “crusty,” it has sort of morphed into an open-mic of Boston Burlesque. With Dinah now residing in New Orleans, Jane Doe, Honey Pie, and Abby Normal run the show, and everyone is welcome to perform as long as you contact them ahead of time and there’s room in the show. This show is an absolute GIFT — it’s an opportunity to try out new ideas on stage, to show that you’re an easy and respectful person to work with (hint, hint), and it gives you the opportunity to have your work seen by local producers in a super fun and low-pressure environment.
Another way to reach out to producers is good old-fashioned email. Producer and performer extraordinaire Lucifer Christmas (formerly known as Allix Mortis) has created these handy dandy email templates that you can use and alter as you see fit, available HERE .
Don’t expect to get booked in a big show right away. Producing a burlesque show can be a big financial risk. As fabulous as we all know burlesque is, it has a pretty limited audience, especially in Boston. So when a producer books a show, they are booking people they know they can trust to bring a great act, promote the show, and to behave professionally. It takes time to earn that trust from a producer, but that can be done by volunteering, taking advantage of the performance opportunities you have, and putting your heart into your performances.
Do take cues from producers and performers who’ve been doing this a while. The Boston Burlesque community has grown a lot over the last 10 or so years. Through a lot of trial and error, we have figured out what works and what doesn’t. We made mistakes so you don’t have to! It definitely doesn’t mean everything is perfect. If something seems weird to you, absolutely ask about it. But there’s probably a reason for it, so try to reserve judgment until you know the whole story. On that note…
Don’t hesitate to ask for advice, feedback, or just general questions about burlesque and the community in general. Most are willing to share their knowledge within reason. We all want the burlesque community to grow and flourish, and will do what we can to encourage that growth. Like with all things, just be polite and respectful of people’s time.
Do have fun! Burlesque is a lot of hard work for a little bit of money. Very few people make their living off of burlesque, especially in Boston. We mostly do it for the love of the art. Maintaining a consistent burlesque career takes passion. When you put love and passion into your work and have fun with your performance, it shows on stage, and the audience can FEEL it, not just see it.
Don’t forget, we’re living the fantasy life — we get to dress up in sparkly outfits and prance around on stage while people cheer for us — what’s better than that?! Enjoy it!
Femme Brulée has been seen across the country diving into cakes, launching rockets, and leading a chorus line of tap dancing lobsters. She is the founder and choreographer of the Glitter Bombs (Boston’s Premier Strip Hop Troupe) and is a co-producer at Sparkletown Productions, where she masterminds sell-out, off-beat burlesque shows. Ms. Brulée has performed in the holiday burlesque spectacular, The Slutcracker, for 9 years, and has appeared in many burlesque shows and festivals in the U.S. and Canada. This August, Femme is thrilled to be co-producing Alterna-TEASE: The New England Neo-Burlesque Festival for the fifth year in Cambridge, MA.

At nearly 59-miles, the Delaware Canal State Park Towpath has something for everyone. It provides visitors a scenic location to experience the big beautiful outdoors through activities, wildlife and learning. That’s why it has been named the Pennsylvania 2022 Trail of the Year.
Completed in the early 1830s, the Delaware Canal ran for a century bringing barges from Easton to Bristol. The canal provided a convenient and economical means of transporting coal throughout the eastern seaboard. The last paying canal barge ended its journey in 1931.
A walk along the 58.89-mile-long towpath is a stroll into American history. Its historical significance was celebrated as it became a registered National Historic Landmark and its towpath is a National Recreation Trail.
Today, it stands as a reminder of a time gone by and as an example of how we can reclaim old infrastructure for current times. In addition to the canal, the state park includes a 50-acre pond, miles of river shoreline and 11 river islands. The towpath meanders along the river through charming, historic towns with ever-changing scenery.
I was fortunate enough to visit the towpath while I was completing my 121 in 21 Challenge – which included running one mile at all 121 state parks in one year. While it was my 52nd park of the year and my second park of the day, it made an indelible impression.
My friend Adam Bricker and I left the parking area near Gen. George Washington’s historic Delaware River crossing. We jogged along the crushed stone trail that was once used by mule teams to pull boats along the canal. In only a short span of time, we saw such beautiful wildlife.
First, we came upon a family of six turtles sunbathing on a log. As someone who has just recently discovered his love for the outdoors, the sight was spectacular. Actual turtles. Right there!
Then, as if not to be outdone, a giant-winged heron took off. Soaring above the morning fog, it flapped its wings and was gone in a matter of seconds. We stopped running. Taking in the majestic bird. It was such a beautiful moment, one that I won’t forget.
While I can’t promise animal encounters, I can promise you this: you will not be disappointed with the Delaware Canal State Park Towpath. It has so much to offer with ample opportunities to experience everything Pennsylvania has to offer.
Of the parks I plan to visit again, the Delaware Canal State Park is at the top of my list. While portions of the towpath are closed due to improvements and renovations (as of March 18, 2022), I plan to do a long hike of it in the future. Maybe a long weekend exploring everything it has to offer, from bike rides and picnics to fishing and boating. I hope to see you out there.

How Giroud's runs outwit defenders
- From the section Football
BBC Sport's Pat Nevin analyses the movement of Arsenal's Olivier Giroud and looks at why new signing Mesut Ozil is a dream arrival for the French striker.
Giroud, who moved to the Emirates for £12m from Montpellier in 2012, has scored four Premier League goals this season, one of which was set up by Ozil just minutes into the German's debut at Sunderland.
Arsene Wenger's side are top of the Premier League - level on points with north London rivals Tottenham - and travel to Swansea on Saturday.

Socioecological resilience of typical citrus fruit agroecosystems
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Hortícolas
This paper, as a tool for analysis, considered the capacity of the interaction that open systems have against the occurrence of disturbances so that they can continue to function with minimal losses of energy, called resilience, an emerging characteristic of agroecosystems. To establish a method to measure this characteristic, ten variables were evaluated, including seven cultural variables: level of schooling, land tenure type, saving capacity, social organizational identity, farm
... , farm infrastructure, weed control and production system; and three ecosystem variables: water resource availability, phytosanitary management and Main Agroecological Structure (MAS) in typical citrus fruit agroecosystems. These were methodologically grouped into six recommended domains: groups of farms and citrus growers with similar ecosystem and cultural conditions that have been characterized and typified in a previous study. In each of these groups, three farm types were selected for a total of 18 production units (department of Meta, Colombia). To determine the difference between the variables, Chi-square tests were applied (using the Pearson and Fisher statistics). Network analysis was applied to determine the relationship between the variables. The resilience was not significantly correlated with level of schooling, farm infrastructure or MAS. The relationship between the resilience and cultural variables presented a high significance, whereas the ecosystem variables showed a low statistical significance.

COVID-19, which has been declared as a pandemic by the world health organization and is infected with more than 50 million people, is also responsible for the death of more than 1 million people. There is no sufficient data from randomized clinical trials that any potential treatment improves outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, antivirals such as favipiravir, lopinavir/ritonavir, immunomodulatory agents tocilizumab, siltuximab, and sarilumab, and anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids are used for the treatment of COVID-19. Repurposing drugs can provide new treatment options faster than discovering new drugs due to the known safety profiles of existing drugs. On the other hand, there are new drug and vaccine trials for COVID-19. Many researchers, governmental or non-governmental institutions having clinical trials for COVID-19 drugs and vaccines. In this comprehensive review, we investigate the clinical features, management, and treatment of COVID-19 and possible adverse effects and important information related to drugs used for COVID-19. For future preparedness and readiness, new laws and legislations should be constituted. Besides, emergency teams and budgets should be prepared as well.

Asystole, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), and pulseless electrical activity are the underlying rhythm disturbances in the pediatric age group. If appropriate interventions (cardiopulmonary resuscitation-CPR and/or defibrillation or cardioversion) are not performed rapidly, this condition progresses to sudden death. There have not been many reported cases of the approach and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias after SCA. Herein, we would like to report a case of a 15-year-old female patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who was admitted to our clinic a year ago, and while her left ventricular systolic functions were improved, SCA suddenly occurred. Since the SCA event occurred in another city, intravenous treatment of amiodarone was done immediately and was switch to continuous infusion dose of amiodarone until the patient arrived at our institution-s pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) 3hours later. During the patient-s 20-day PICU hospitalization, she developed pulseless VT and VF from time to time. The patient-s pulseless VT and VF attacks were brought under control by the use of a defibrillator and added antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, flecainide, esmolol, and propafenone). Intriguingly, therapy-resistance bigeminy with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) continued despite all these treatments. The patient did not have adequate blood pressure measured by invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring while having bigeminy PVCs. The intermittent bigeminy PVCs ameliorated rapidly after intermittent boluses of lidocaine. In the end, multiple antiarrhythmic therapies and intermittent bolus lidocaine doses were enough to bring her cardiac arrhythmias after SCA under control. This case illustrates that malign PVC-s should be taken very seriously, since they may predispose to the development of VT or VF. Also, this case highlights the importance of close vigilance of arterial pressure tracings of patients with bigeminy PVCs which develop after SCA and should not be accepted as normal.

It may also have an impact on the Covid-19 pandemic. Purpose: It aimed to analysis of the relationship between nursing students- perceptions of their profession and their attitudes towards their profession during the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: The study, which was conducted as a descriptive, cross-sectional and relationship-seeking study, was applied to a total of 191 students in February 2021 through the survey form of BVU Nursing Department students. In the study, Sociodemographic Characteristics Data Form, Questionnaire Form for students- opinions about the nursing profession during the COVID-19 pandemic period and Attitude towards Nursing Profession Scale (HMYTÖ). These are HMÖ*, HMTED**, HMGD***. Statistical significance was calculated by using the p<0.05 value in the SPSS 22 program. Results: 58.1% are targeted to work in the field due to the Covid-19 pandemic process, and 41.9% are working in this field. Changing the mind at the point of designing the movement of Covid-19 is to change the dream of 11.5% of those who think and 88.5% of those who change the direction of thought. Here is one, it is significantly higher in terms of HMI (p=0.028) and HMGD (p=0.028) points compared to those who received it. Those who think that those who are in the Covid-19 pandemic process do not get the real value, HMGD average score is 042, compared to those who are thought to be entitled (p=0. HMYTÖ is significant compared to those who are self-sacrificing and self-sacrificing because of Covid 19 pandemics (p=0.042). Covid-19 pandemic Those who think that it does not have a negative effect on the nurse-s image, the HMGD is different on average compared to those who are considered in terms of score (p=0.031). Covid-19, regarding directing the gaze of the people who are directed according to the referrals, and the rotation of the changed people compared to the referrals, the HMGD scores are significantly higher than those who change the referral (p= 0.018) HMTED scores were small (p=0.018) Conclusion and suggestions: Although the students thought that nurses could not get the value they deserved even though they worked devotedly, it was revealed that their general attitudes towards their profession were positive. However, this situation has negatively affected their views on practicing the profession in the future and their outlook on the future. In addition, it has been revealed that nursing students- understanding of the importance of their profession in the Covid-19 period and realizing thesatisfying aspects of the profession affect their attitudes towards the profession positively, as well as they think that it also affects the image of the profession in a positive way. In this process, it was seen that the attitudes of the students working in any job were positive towards the profession. As a result, it is thought that for the positive development of nursing students- attitudes towards the profession, nurses should improve their working conditions and see the value they deserve in crisis situations.

- PublicationOpen AccessPerioperative Precautions for Novel Coronavirus Outbreak(2020-11-01T00:00:00Z) Dağcı, Mahmut; Alptekin, Hatice Merve; DAĞCI, MAHMUTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus, a sub-member of the coronavirus family, that first appeared in China, has been declared a pandemic in the world due to its rapid spread and spread by airborne transmission. Since all patients diagnosed with COVID-19 do not have symptoms, it is difficult to recognize people with or without disease. When patients with suspected or diagnosed COVID-19 surgery need to be operated in urgent or emergent situations, measures must be taken to protect the patient and the operating room staff. The operating room team should know the procedures to be applied if fixtures and surgical instruments in the operating room are used in cases of suspected COVID-19. In these cases, training should be provided on the effective use of personal protective equipment, precautions to be taken, and health institutions should be able to manage the preoperative, perioperative and postoperative process of patients with suspected COVID-19 or diagnosis. Health institutions should prepare an emergency plan to be applied in pandemic situations. The aim of this was study to present how to manage the perioperative process of surgical patients in COVID-19 pandemic.

Yogurt Tastes Different Depending on the Spoon
Lightweight plastic spoons make food taste yummier. That's the conclusion of a study published in the journal Flavour that set out to determine if the spoon you use to eat your yogurt makes a difference in how it tastes.
It turns out the answer is yes.
After sampling yogurt with several different spoons, the 35 participants in the Oxford University study voted the yogurt eaten from a lightweight plastic spoon as creamier and more expensive tasting compared to the same yogurt eaten from a heavier plastic spoon.
In previous studies the Oxford team found that people prefer food eaten with a heavier silver spoon and in general prefer heavier plates, cups and even wine bottles. However, in this case, subjects were expecting the plastic spoons to feel light.
"A spoon that looks light but is heavy as in our most recent study is bad, not because of the weight but likely because of the confounded expectation," Charles Spence, one of the lead researchers explained.
The study also found that yogurt tasted sweeter when eaten off a light-colored spoon but not so sweet when eaten off a black spoon. When pink yogurt was served on a blue spoon, subjects said it tasted saltier and less sweet than when it was served on a white spoon, possibly because they found the color contrast less pleasing.
These findings reveal a lot more about the complexity of taste perception and food enjoyment than just spoon preference, the researchers say. Diners think their taste buds fancy a particular food but in reality, everything from the color of a plate to overhead lighting to background music exerts an influence over the eating experience.
Spence said he believes this type of information can be used to help people lose weight.
For example, earlier studies done by the oxford team found that dessert served on a white plate tastes 10 percent sweeter than the exact same treat served on black plate.
Research done by the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University discovered that people eat 16 percent more cereal when they use a larger bowl compared to a smaller bowl. Even worse, they believe they're eating 7 percent less. And another study by the Cornell lab found that people given short wide glasses poured 76 percent more soda than those who had randomly been given tall slender glasses. They believed, however, that they had poured less.

Frome Medical Practice provides care for the 29,000 residents of Frome and the surrounding area. Since 2014, the practice has combined a community development service with an internal hub in the GP practice which identifies those in need of support. The community development service fulfills 2 functions; enhancing the naturally occurring supportive networks that surround people and connecting people into community resource. If the resource needed creating, the community development service helped this process, creating new groups according to community requests.
The outcomes have had a significant impact in a wide variety of areas. Whereas Somerset county has seen a rise of 32% in emergency hospital admissions in the last 3 years, this remained stable in Frome. For those with 3 or more long term conditions, there has been a 30% drop in admissions. A compassionate communities programme focused on people at end of life is showing a marked increase in home death rates. Patient qualitative outcomes show improved quality of life in a number of areas. Working lives of the health professionals involved in the project also improved. The presentation will describe the model and give details of the outcomes, which are continuing to improve. We will also describe how components of the model can be adapted to local circumstances, with the use of Institute of Healthcare Improvement quality improvement methodology as the main tool of change management.


Holding up an ambassadorial post is a time-honored political move in the Senate to exact political concessions from the President. Do they work? Some do, most do not. Of those that do, they are usually tied to a bundle of legislative requests that may, or may not be related to the underlying appointment.
POLITICO reports that the President’s pick for Ambassador to Mexico, Roberta Jacobson, is caught up in one of these hold battles, supposedly over her work on Cuba. Jacobson is a career foreign service officer and the current Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs. If the response by Congressional opponents to the President’s Cuba policy is a hold strategy, possibly tied to a few appropriations riders, then the Jacobson hold is a colossal waste of time. A great deal more is warranted to stem the policy and legal adventurism that the president’s advisors have unleashed the past nine months. Watchdog groups have even questioned the legal propriety of the lobbying maneuvers.
During the course of the last few months, federal regulations have been eased not once, but twice. The embassies were re-opened in Havana and Washington, DC. Cuba was removed from the state sponsors of terror list and downgraded as a country of trafficking concern. Cuba opened a bank account in a Miami bank and they even scored a high-level trade mission led by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Meanwhile Cuba has yet to reciprocate an inch on human rights, US property claims, and may even be snubbing the administration by sending troops to Syria. With a few exceptions, the substantive response by Congressional overseers to these changes has been politically anemic.
Ironically, Jacobson reportedly had nothing to do with the President’s Cuba scheme. From what I’ve been told by many sources at Foggy Bottom, from outside her bureau, is that she wanted out of that post a long time ago. In fact the State Department was, mostly, an afterthought to the pre-planning policy shift by the President. The President’s national security team, along with a legion of high-priced lawyers and lobbyists, were the ones that paved the road to closer relations with Cuba’s hardline Communist rulers. They’ve managed to turn U.S. policy, and the law, on its head.
There is still time to move product in Congress that could inject sanity to this process. Congressional staff should be tasked with a few items including (1) review if federal lobbying and FEC laws were followed by lawyers, lobbyists, and Democratic Party donors; (2) hold oversight hearings on the pre-December 17 maneuvers that led to the policy change; (3) protect and defend U.S. taxpayers holding certified claims against the government of Cuba that are owed close to $8 billion; and (4) enact legislation, even under threat of veto, that ensures the administration will follow existing laws and regulations with respect to Cuba. Doing this, a hold strategy makes a whole lot of sense. If not, Jacobson should be dispatched to Mexico City as soon as reasonably possible.
The good news, at least for those of us that support a hardline toward Cuba until Cuba, legally and under U.S. law is a transition government, is that the other side does not have the votes to gut the sanctions in Congress. If they did, they would’ve pressed for a vote a long time ago. However, the lack of substantive legislative or oversight maneuvering from the Congress has given them wiggle room that they did not have at the start of the year. This could allow the President to press onward on yet one more regulatory change to allow for limited financing of certain exports to Cuba. I know a few lawyers that have come up with clever legal reasoning, albeit wrong, to make it so. If the administration goes down this road, a hold strategy, without more, is be too little, too late.

The Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is gearing up for a full return to live in 2022, with a revamped, interactive approach for ADE Pro conference and ADE Festival returning to the nighttime. The first confirmed speakers for ADE Pro include Diplo, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Suzanne Ciani and Youssou N’Dour, with Ciani and N’Dour taking centre stage with live shows during ADE Festival as well. Other artists confirmed for the festival program include Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Ben...
Today, the official start of ADE 2021 will be signalled by the lighting of art installation BAKEN (Beacon); a light on the horizon for the electronic music industry, set to shine over the entire city of Amsterdam from the roof of the A'DAM Tower during ADE.
With the rescheduling of an expected 350+ planned events, Amsterdam Dance Event 2021 is gearing up for its return to physical form in just under two weeks. As a result of the recently announced Covid restrictions by the Dutch government, the ADE team has worked together with the Amsterdam municipality, club owners and festival organisers to help enable the city's electronic music scene to host festival events during the day.
ADE Festival will continue to take place as planned from 13-17 October, despite the newly announced Covid restrictions in the Netherlands, among which is the mandate that clubs, venues and indoor events are forced to close between 00:00 and 06:00.
With the most recent green light on large-scale events by Dutch authorities, this October will officially mark ADE’s return to Amsterdam. The first confirmed speakers for the ADE Pro conference at Felix Meritis include Don Diablo, Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) and his business partner Dean Wilson, Mixcloud CEO and co-founder Nico Perez, IMPALA chair Helen Smith, musical duo Zaena x Jason Maek and AR/VR expert Cortney Harding.
Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) recently revealed its full ADE Pro online conference programme, featuring, among others, James Blake, Femi Kuti, Neneh Cherry, Robert Hood and Prof. Dr. Samantha Warren, alongside companies including Bandcamp, Beatport, Hipgnosis, Sony Playstation, SoundCloud, Ultra Records, UTA, VEVO, WME and many more.
The annual Amsterdam Dance Event [ADE] takes place next month, and this 11 October, Toronto's Saad Ayub will be dropping his 'Shelter' EP ahead of the week of panels, meetings, events, mixers and music.

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT
WOOSTER -- The former site manager of the Mount Eaton Landfill will remain in prison for brokering a business deal from which he benefited in excess of $500,000.
William Hadley, 44, of 820 Sterling Ave., Dover, was found guilty of aggravated theft following a four-day jury trial in Wayne County Common Pleas Court in May 2006. In October, he was sentenced by Judge Mark K. Wiest to the minimum two years in prison.
On Wednesday, Wiest denied Hadley's request for early release from prison, saying he did not think Hadley's remorse was genuine.
"I brought you back for the hearing because I thought you could be a good candidate for community control despite everything that happened," Wiest said, noting before authorizing Hadley's release he had to hear a true admission to being a "thief."
"I hear you take full responsibility, but saying it is one thing and meaning it is another," Wiest said.
Despite his words, Wiest noted, Hadley continues to blame others for his actions.
At the trial of his former boss, Hadley testified he felt he did nothing wrong and "had his permission to take the money" because he was "following his exact orders," Wiest said.
John Frola, who was vice president of Norton Environmental Co., which owns the landfill, was found not guilty of receiving stolen property.
Hadley, who said he has been a model prisoner, asked to be released to begin paying the $756,300 in restitution and provide financial aid to his wife, who has suffered as a result of seizure of the family's home and vehicles.
"I take full responsibility for my actions," he said. "I'm probably the luckiest man alive. I've never seen so much friend and family support."
Being incarcerated has helped him to become humble and regain his integrity, Hadley said, adding he has helped other inmates to see there is "more to life than drugs and alcohol."
Defense attorney Lawrence Smith suggested Frola facilitated the illegal actions and was the beneficiary of the illegal transactions at the business, for which Hadley is paying in the way of restitution.
However, evidence collected by investigators showed only one receipt for a $10,000 transfer to Frola, said Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Jocelyn Stefancin, noting the actual losses -- including the nonpayment of government fees and eventual closure of the landfill -- will never be known.
She notes Hadley's financial troubles are a direct result of poor decisions he made and property seized was purchased with money stolen from the business.
Following Wednesday's hearing, Smith's only comment was the "prosecutor was disingenuous in saying he got all the money. It's clear that John Frola got most of the money."
Wiest carefully considered Hadley's request for judicial release, said Wayne County Prosecutor Martin Frantz.
"It was clear to me there were intangible factors that influenced the judge," Frantz said, which promptedWiest to make the "correct decision based upon everything that was in front of him."
At the October sentencing hearing, Wiest told Hadley, "You took advantage of a situation to enrich yourself and your family with material goods. We also know the amount of the theft was such it was to a felony of the second degree," Wiest said.
Hadley facilitated a contract with JMW Trucking, owned by his brother-in-law John Slutz, which permitted the company to dump waste at the landfill at a rate less than that charged to other customers, according to testimony.
Hadley was fired Jan. 20, 2005, the day Wayne County Sheriff's investigators searched for records at the landfill.
Records obtained from the landfill, Hadley's residence and the trucking company indicate Hadley received JMW checks, written to him, totaling $756,300, according to testimony.
A civil lawsuit filed in Wayne County Common Pleas Court by Norton against Hadley is pending.

Dodging Machetes: How I Survived Forbidden Love, Bad Behavior, and the Peace Corps in Fiji
Peace Corps Writers (2012)
Reviewed by Michel Violante for Reader Views (2/13)
“Dodging Machetes” by Will Lutwick tells Will’s story during the 1960s as a Peace Corps volunteer in Fiji who falls in love with Rani, a Fiji native girl of Indian background. But this relationship was not allowed in Rani’s culture, so Rani discouraged Will the first time he tried to speak to her. Mesmerized by her beauty, Will ignores people’s advice to let it go and gets creative finding ways to establish a relationship with her until Rani falls for him as well, and they start dating in secret. They began meeting for lunch every day in the conference room at their job, located on the 6th floor. The relationship progresses as they face cultural adversities and gossip.
This fun and adventurous love story was well written and entertaining. Lutwick presented his story in first person, but by incorporating great dialog and developing characters, he produced a memoir with the feel of a novel, instead of a narrative. The only negative thing for me was that it moved a little slow and it didn’t have enough dramatic moments to make it a faster pace read and to keep this reader’s interest at its peak.
I recommend “Dodging Machetes” by Will Lutwick to anyone who enjoys a light, fun romance adventure in a multicultural setting. Although I wished it had a faster pace, I found it entertaining and also informative about Fiji, as well as the Indian culture, and for that I give it 4 stars.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 10 (ANI): Mira Rajpoot Kapoor’s latest “no-filter makeup” made her look drop-dead gorgeous. However, it was her husband, actor Shahid Kapoor’s hilarious comment which stole the limelight.
“No filter makeup by me. Switched up products after years and I’m loving them! Let me know what you guys think,” captioned Mira on Instagram, asking fans for their opinions on her makeup.
The sun-kissed picture portrayed Mira in a glammed-up avatar. It seemed that she sported rosy and dewy makeup and applied a soft pink shade of lipstick. She was decked up in a black halter neck fancy-patterned top having pointy gold borders. Mira’s eyeliner was on fleek and her open, light brown hair shone in the sunlight. To be precise, Mira looked like a diva in the selfie, stealing the hearts of fans.
Soon after Mira shared the picture on her Instagram handle, Shahid made a funny comment, indicating that her wide was “so happy” with doing her own makeup that she clicked the selfie in the same place she put on her makeup.
“She so happy she didn’t even wait to leave the bathroom,” commented the ‘Kaminey’ actor.
Mira’s overall look was widely loved and appreciated by her fans as they applauded her for the perfect makeup she sported.
“Love it Mira,” wrote Shagun Khanna, a renowned beauty influencer.

Earlier, on Thursday, the couple celebrated their 7 years of marriage where the couple took to their social media handles and dropped pictures, celebrating 7 years of togetherness.
For the unversed, Shahid and Mira tied the knot in 2015. The couple welcomed daughter Mira in 2016 and son Zain in 2018.
Talking on the work front, Shahid was last seen in Gowtam Tinnanuri’s ‘Jersey’ with Mrunal Thakur. He has some interesting projects lined up. He will next be seen making an OTT debut, the name of which is yet not revealed. Shahid has also collaborated with the director Ali Abbas Zafar for an action-entertainer film. (ANI)

The video for country singer Jason Aldean's hit single "Try That in a Small Town" was reportedly edited to remove six seconds of video showing Black Lives Matter protests, according to The Washington Post.
Aldean, 46, has come under fire since releasing the song earlier this month for the content of the lyrics and for using clips of a BLM protest in the video.
The Daily Mail reported that the video no longer contains a Fox 5 Atlanta news clip showing clashes during a BLM riot in 2020.
Fox 5 Atlanta had requested a copy of the song lyrics prior to granting permission to use the clip but did not receive them before the video was released, according to sources who spoke with TMZ.
TMZ reported that Fox issued a "polite ultimatum" to cut the clip from the video last week to avoid legal action being taken, which the production company then complied with.
Despite the controversy surrounding it, the song has become wildly popular since being released, climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart to hit the No. 2 spot and racking up more than 19 million views on YouTube.
Country Music Television (CMT) took the video down after three days following backlash from NAACP officials, social media critics, and singer Sheryl Crow, who claimed the song promotes violence and contended the video features a lynching site.
Aldean opens the song by singing, "Cuss out a cop, spit in his face / Stomp on the flag and light it up / Yeah, ya think you're tough / Well, try that in a small town."
He previously said the single was inspired by the "unspoken rule" in small towns that "we all have each other's backs, and we look out for each other."
"It feels like somewhere along the way, that sense of community and respect has gotten lost," he reportedly said. "Deep down we are all ready to get back to that."
Aldean doubled down on his support for the song at his show last Friday in Cincinnati, Ohio, saying, "I've seen a lot of stuff suggesting I am this, suggesting I am that."
"Here's the thing: I feel like everybody is entitled to their opinion," he said, according to the Mail. "You can think something all you want to — it doesn't mean it is true. What I am is a proud American. I love our country, I want to see it restored to what it once was before all this bulls*** started happening to us."
"I love my country; I love my family, and I will do anything I can to protect that," he told the sold-out crowd at Cincinnati's Riverbend Music Center.

Boot-insole effects on comfort and plantar loading at the heel and fifth metatarsal during running and turning in soccer
Dixon, Sharon J.
Journal of Sports Sciences
Taylor & Francis
Reason for embargo
Plantar loading may influence comfort, performance and injury risk in soccer boots. This study investigated the effect of cleat configuration and insole cushioning levels on perception of comfort and in-shoe plantar pressures at the heel and fifth metatarsal head region. Nine soccer academy players (age 15.7 ± 1.6 years; height 1.80 ± 0.40 m; body mass 71.9 ± 6.1 kg) took part in the study. Two boot models (8 and 6 cleats) and two insoles (Poron and Poron/gel) provided four footwear combinations assessed using pressure insoles during running and 180° turning. Mechanical and comfort perception tests differentiated boot and insole conditions. During biomechanical testing, the Poron insole generally provided lower peak pressures than the Poron/gel insole, particularly during the braking step of the turn. The boot model did not independently influence peak pressures at the fifth metatarsal, and had minimal influence on heel loads. Specific boot-insole combinations performed differently (P < 0.05). The 8-cleat boot and the Poron insole performed best biomechanically and perceptually, but the combined condition did not. Inclusion of kinematic data and improved control of the turning technique are recommended to strengthen future research. The mechanical, perception and biomechanical results highlight the need for a multi-faceted approach in the assessment of footwear.

We are always on the lookout for the next best thing.
Recently a newly curated brand was brought to our attention called Allmade.
You may or may not have heard of this brand before. I hadn't even though most in the office would more than likely refer to me (lovingly) as the "tree hugger" of the group.
Those behind the brand.
The Allmade slogan is "Feel your impact," which immediately caught my attention. As we passed around the new garments to feel (which of course we will get into a bit later), we learned about their mission.
Their story begins with a few forward-thinking screen printers, entrepreneurs, and business owners making their way to Haiti to first experience garment manufacturing.
While visiting, they saw the potential impact they could have on the area, the people, and the planet just by improving the current process and going about it just a bit differently.
Allmade refers to their new line of products as CRAZY-SOFT, and Big Star can agree that these garments were freakishly soft and cozy.
They are using three different sustainable tri-blend fibers to create a softer easier to print surface.
These shirts are crafted for printers by printers. Not only do the garments look and feel great. Most importantly, their collective efforts are helping families and also building up communities where they are manufacturing.
Let's talk about the garments.
The Tri-blend tees are made of 50% poly from recycled plastic water bottles, 25% Tencel Modal from renewable beech trees, and 25% organic, US-grown cotton.
Each Allmade Tri-Blend tee uses an equivalent of up to 6 recycled plastic water bottles and all
the yarn is spun, knit, fabric dyed and finished in the USA.
Allmade recently released a recycled face mask in light of the recent Covid outbreak across the world. These mask fit comfortable on the face and ears.
If you are looking for a better choice, Allmade puts the needs of people and the planet first, creating a positive impact you and I can feel great about.
These products are so new, they are not yet available on our website. Give us a call to learn more!
