The sun has been shining on West Bridgford Explorers since they arrived on Saturday and they’ve certainly been making the most of the weather and the fantastic surroundings.
Monday saw the group split into 3 for a series of 2-day expeditions. The first group took on the Lotchenpass Hike which takes them up the Gasterntal valley to Selden from KISC before climbing a thousand metres to the Lotchenpass Hut which sits at the top of the pass at 2690m. The second group did the Hockenhorn Hike where the group stay at the Lotchenpass hut overnight before hiking and climbing up Hockenhorn which sits at a height of 3293m. The hike has a height gain of 200m over the 2 days! Both of these groups had a brilliant time up in the mountains taking in the views and being made to do lots of silly things by the KISC staff!
The other third of the group went on the Snow and Ice Expedition where after taking the bus up Gasterntal Valley, they hiked over the Kanderfirn Glacier to the Muttornhutte, their overnight stop! It was a great chance for the group to learn some new skills with roping up a necessity and everyone using their Ice Axes on some of the steeper parts over the 2 days!
The Scouts from Nottingham also went mountain biking on Sunday taking on some of the steep tracks up to the viewpoint, Hoh, which looks over Kandersteg Village (although apparently the downhills afterwards made it worth it). They have also been up to Oeschinensee with no hesitation about swimming in the freezing cold lake, although some of them suffered from the cold when they were out of the chilly water later on, all made better by a hot chocolate though!

A new exhibition centering on the work of fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi opens today
Photographer Nick Waplington has released a book to coincide with the exhibition
Capturing behind-the-scenes of Mizrahi's fashion house, he shot the likes of Naomi Campbell
Our collective fascination with supermodels of the eighties and nineties has yet to wane. In fact, with each passing year, the era and the faces that defined it become increasingly more mythic.
In a time before the intrusive nature of social media, the public only got glimpses of backstage goings-on and behind-the-scenes happenings.
A new photography book by British photographer Nick Waplington contains some of these precious moments. Mostly unseen until its release, they document a four-year period, from 1989 to 1993, in New York.
The story goes that Waplington was regularly visiting Richard Avedon in the summer of 1989, who decided to introduce him to a young fashion designer called Isaac Mizrahi.
“He thought that despite our very different backgrounds we would get on and should work together. Luckily he was right, and so for the next three years I spent time photographing the goings-on behind-the-scenes in the Mizrahi fashion house in downtown in Soho,” Waplington explained.
By day the photographer would document the busy backstage scenes of Isaac Mizrahi’s studio, capturing Christy Turlington barefoot for a fitting, or a candid moment with Naomi Campbell before a show.
At night the photographer would head to house and techno music clubs, “particularly Save the Robots and the Sound Factory”, capturing an alternate, but no less decadent, aspect of New York life.
“I have juxtaposed the two sets of images [in this book] to produce a work which describes the vibrancy of a vanished moment in New York’s cultural history,” he said.
Many of the images of Mizrahi’s studio will feature in a new exhibition at The Jewish Museum in New York. Isaac Mizrahi: An Unruly History is the first museum exhibition to focus on the designer’s work.
Born in Brooklyn in 1961, the New York native studied at Parsons School of Design, entering into the fashion scene in the 1980s with the first collection for eponymous label Isaac Mizrahi New York in 1988.
He quickly became known for his ability to meld contrasting ideas or concepts; high and low culture, glamour and streetwear. Mizrahi’s models were wearing adidas trainers instead of heels before athleisure was a twinkle in anyone’s eyes and his shows were always cast diversely.
Over a career that has lasted nearly three decades the designer, artist and entrepreneur has worn many hats. Aside from fashion design, he’s had forays into film, TV, cabaret, writing, directing, set and costume design. He now hosts his own call-in home shopping TV show on QVC – Isaac Mizrahi Live!.
Isaac Mizrahi: An Unruly History, March 18 – August 7, The Jewish Museum.
The Isaac Mizrahi Pictures by Nick Waplington is published by Damiani.

P&P-- Prawn on Pasta
No one needs a special occasion to make dinner special. It's the company and conversation. Well... a glass of good wine can help the conversation going. This dish is an example of something simple but looks gorgeous and tastes really good. It's sort of down home if you serve it family style and it can also look classy as dinner-for-two and wine.
My husband loooves shrimps and prawns. Apparently, it's contagious because so do my sons. And because it can get pricey-- serving shrimps or prawns IS in itself an occasion! And so it always deserves a place in the weekend table.
When there is time to savor every bite...to talk about stuff from serious to utterly mundane... to laugh at unexpected jokes. Then again, when you have males at the diner table, somehow eating is at a rocket's pace!
My Mom's default gift for my husband is always 2 packs of succulent prawns, and obviously he is not complaining. So one I'm-not-yet-done-with-the-grocery weekend, with a pack defrosting in the refrigerator, I whipped out what could be found in my pantry and fridge.
I saw light mayo, grated quezo de bola, all-purpose cream, fresh tomatoes, spaghetti noodles.
Hmmmm, there's a possibility here I told myself. I really have no recipe as basis on this one, but I think it's like thermidore or croque monsiuer inspired.
It turned out pre-tty gooood and a change from the usual. I plated it for picture's sake, but I served it family style for my small but hungry brood. If you have all-male diners, you make sure everybody has an equal share. I kept the prawn head on, because it looks more appetizing that way. Besides, I get to eat them :-)
200 grm pack spaghetti noodles, cooked al dente in water with lots of salt
1/2 k fresh tomatoes, sliced and dried over low heat in the oven
2 T garlic slivers
salt and pepper to taste
Mix light mayo, grated cheese, all-purpose cream to form a soft paste. Put a small knob in the slit made on the back of the prawn. Drizzle some olive oil on a pyrex dish and lay prawns side by side. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Cook in the oven till orangy-pink.
Be carefull not to overcook as you will have shrivelled and rubber prawns. Set aside.
In a deep pan, simply saute garlic in olive oil, add oven-dried tomatoes. Get the noodles out of the pot and put into the pan. Mix well, add salt and pepper to taste. For family-style serving, get a big platter, place shrimps on top, pour the oil and prawn juices from the pyrex dish onto the pasta.
Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve immediately. It's a healthy, clean-tasting, good-for-you dish. Enjoy!
Shortcut Tip: If you have no time for oven-dried tomatoes, you can always get a jar of sundried tomato pesto. :-)
Send me a mail! It's firstname.lastname@example.org
I would love to hear from you.

Disposable Income: Recycle Man talks trash at MadFest
Story by Whitney Skeeters
Photographs by Angelina Bellebuono
Graphic representation by Katie Davis
Standing 7 feet tall, he reminds us of our civic duties to the community, future generations and to the very earth we live on. He is a symbol of Morgan County’s dedication to progress, what citizens in the community have accomplished so far and the goals for the future. He is…made entirely out of trash.
Recyclable trash that is. Recycle Man is the creation of local artists Dan and Linda Thoman. He will make his debut at Madison Fest on Saturday, April 25, and is meant to remind locals of the importance of recycling. Those who pass by the booth that Saturday will be invited to help complete the sculpture by placing pieces of recyclable trash on Recycle Man. Dan Thoman, a retired engineer for the Environmental Protection Agency, has been sculpting for 15 years, working with wood, stone, and most recently, metal. He has been building Recycle Man since the beginning of the year using parts of a rusted grill, baling wire, old rebar, and other metals.
Thoman just finished a new addition to the Madison Fest display: Recycle Man’s best friend, a cheerful pup made out of tomato cages.
Thoman came up with the idea for the project with his wife, Linda, who is the volunteer facilitator of Keep Morgan Beautiful. Linda said Keep Morgan Beautiful was looking for a community art project everyone could take part in that would spread awareness about promoting a healthy environment in Morgan County. The “art in the moment” will be a statement of the importance of recycling.
“He’s going to be fun and cheerful,” Linda said. “There’s a massive amount of products that we use that need to be recycled. We can’t turn them all into sculptures, but the idea is that there are a lot of things to recycle.”
She is not sure where Recycle Man will go after Madisonfest, but hopes he will be able to travel around the community to various groups and events spreading excitement about recycling. He is a particularly helpful visual aid to children, who tend to be more receptive to changing their habits.
The sad truth is that most families could make a Recycle Man of their own in less than a week. The average American discards roughly seven and a half pounds of garbage a day, according to Morgan County’s Recycling Center. As all of this trash is packed into landfills, it seems more like a recycle monster.
Morgan County has made huge strides in recycling according to Linda. She said the county increased recycling by 37 percent last year, beating out every other municipality, many of which are larger than Morgan, that sends recycling to Athens-Clarke County.
Linda pointed out that the increase in recycling did not happen accidentally. She has seen many community members changing their habits and hopes the county will continue on this track of progress.
“We still have a long way to go, but I can see that we’re heading in the right direction,” Linda said.
Recycle Man will be part of Keep Morgan Beautiful’s informational booth at Madison Fest, and he could not have picked a better year to participate. The 2009 festival will have a eco-friendly theme that shows citizens how easy it is to “Go Green.” Administrative Assistant for the City of Madison Lori Stapp said the event will promote tips for growing your own herbs and gardens and encourage people to be more organic.
“We were excited to get Recycle Man for this festival,” Stapp said. “Anything to help keep it green.”

2020 - J. Phys. Chem. C
- Oligomerization of Dehydrogenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons on Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite
- J. Weippert, J. Hauns, J. Bachmann, J.-F. Greisch, A. Narita, K. Müllen, A. Böttcher, and M.M. Kappes, J. Phys. Chem. C 124, 8236 (2020).
This paper demonstrates a controllable method to generate PAH oligomers on graphite.
The process starts with the fragmentation of PAH in the gas phase using electron impact (60 ~ 70 eV).
The dominant fragmentation pathway is the loss of n H2.
The resulting PAH radical after mass selection is deposited on graphite with a low kinetic energy (< 6 eV).
The absorbed radicals react with each other to form covalently binding PAH dimer, trimer, ..., oligomer.
- The synthesis of graphene nanoribbon on non-mental surfaces is important for integration into electronic devices. This is understandable, since the commonly used transition metal surfaces in GNRs thesis is too active and may easily get erosion under the working condition of electronic devices, if the metal surfaces have to stay in electronic devices. But GNRs synthesis on graphite requires PAH fragment generated by electron impact. Is this durable for electronic devices? Will graphite stay in electronic devices as well? If one has to remove GNRs from surface after synthesis, why not use metal surfaces?
2017 - ApJ - PAH with atomic carbon
- In the introduction, the authors have mentioned that small PAHs should be destroyed, but large PAHs (30-50 carbon atoms) can survive in the harsh astrophysical environments.
- Factors influencing molecular abundances include UV irradiations and chemical reactions.
2013 - PNAS - Oligomerization of protein by MD
This paper combines metadynamics and parallel tempering to explore the free energy land scape of protein oligomerization.
The oligomerization is assumed to be a multi step process.
- Folding of monomer
- Dimerization of two
prefolded monomers (avoid sampling irrelevant regions of the configuration space at high temperature used in the parallel tempering)
Borrow from replica exchange in MD, can we perform operations on multiple candidates in GOFEE?
2013 - JPCA - PAH dimer in soot formation
- Dimerization of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Soot Nucleation
- H.-B. Zhang, X. You, H. Wang, and C.K. Law, J. Phys. Chem. A 118, 1287 (2014).
(U)PM6 and (U)M06-2X almost predicts the same optimized structure of PAH dimers and bond features including:
- the bond order
- the number of bonds
- the bonding sites
- $\pi$ electrons play an important role in the dimerization (in a stacked way) of PAHs and a bond tends to be formed in the region where the density of $\pi$ electrons is high.
- The dimerization of two non-identical PAHs are more likely than two identical PAHs under the flame environment.

One of the most common conditions affecting the kidneys is urinary obstruction. After the kidneys make urine, the urine is collected in the central part of the kidney call the renal pelvis. The urine then passes into the kidney tube called the ureter and flows down into the bladder where it is stored until elimination. When a blockage between the renal pelvis and ureter occurs, it is called ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. This blockage may have occurred before birth or may develop over time. Repair of the UPJ is called a pyeloplasty.
Pyeloplasty can be performed in children and adults with robotic-assisted surgery with more precision than conventional instrumentation allows. With Inova's state-of-the-art da Vinci® robotic surgical system, your doctor is able to perform a precise operation through a few tiny incisions with enhanced vision, dexterity and control.
During a pyeloplasty, the surgeon reconstructs or revises the renal pelvis to drain and decompress the kidney. Most commonly the surgery is performed to treat an UPJ if renal function is adequate. The surgeon removes the blocked area and re-constructs a new conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.
Benefits of robotic-assisted surgery over open surgery include:
- Significantly less pain
- Less blood loss
- Fewer transfusions
- Lower risk of infection
- Less scarring
- Shorter hospital stay
- Shorter recovery time
- Better clinical outcomes, in many cases
Talk with your surgeon about whether robotic-assisted surgery is an option for you. Or call 1-855-My-Inova (1-855-694-6682) for a referral to one of our da Vinci robotic surgical specialists.

Nine in ten women have sufferwed some form of sexual discrimination in the work place, a study has found. A vast majority of women workers have experienced "gender harassment", which includes offensive sexist remarks or being told that they could not do their job properly due to their gender or sex.
This more common, low level sexist behaviour is just as damaging and distressing as forward advances, experts say.
The researchers found that 10 percent of the women surveyed had experienced the most severe form of harassment, in which they were promised promotion or better treatment if they were "sexually cooperative".
The study questioned women in two male dominated environments - the U.S. military and the legal profession. It found that although few were subjected to actual advances, such as being groped, 90 percent had been subjected to gender harassment. This included offensive remarks about being female, their appearance, body or sexual activities.
The findings, in Springer's Journal of Law and Human Behavior, concluded that harassment victims fared poorly at work.

Editor’s note: AT&T reports a year-to-year decline in consolidated revenue for the first time in nearly four years, reflecting its struggle to increase growth organically, says Technology Business Research analyst Steve Vachon.
HAMPTON, N.H. – AT&T on Wednesday reported a year-to-year decline in consolidated revenue for the first time in nearly four years
AT&T’s consolidated revenue declined 0.7% year-to-year to $41.8 billion in 4Q16, the first quarter the carrier has reported a year-to-year consolidated revenue decline since 1Q13. AT&T’s no longer gets the inorganic revenue lift from the DirecTV acquisition, which closed in late July 2015, and the company continues to experience declines within its core Business Solutions and Mobility segments due to market saturation and pricing pressures.
Though AT&T’s operating income dropped 770 basis points to 10.2%, which was largely affected by one-time, non-cash pension and post-employment costs, the company is cutting costs through Project Agile initiatives, DirecTV synergies and early cost-benefits from NFV/SDN.
Though AT&T’s wireless revenue declined 0.7% year-to-year, due mainly to lower ARPU and postpaid phone subscriber losses, wireless revenue is beginning to stabilize due to strong connected device and prepaid net additions. Although AT&T lost 67,000 postpaid phone customers in 4Q16, largely due to competition from the newly launched T-Mobile One and Sprint’s Unlimited Freedom unlimited data programs, AT&T’s results were a significant improvement from the 256,000 postpaid phone customers it lost in 4Q15.
Providing zero-rated access to DirecTV services offers AT&T a stronger incentive to retain premium customers as the carrier was able to improve postpaid churn amidst the pressures of the holiday season.
AT&T improved wireless EBITDA margins by 180 basis points year-to-year to 35.7% by transitioning customers to non-subsidized pricing plans and wireless profitability will continue to improve in 2017 through recent initiatives, including AT&T raising activation rates and the price of grandfathered unlimited plans.
AT&T returns to video subscriber growth though DirecTV Now will have a negative impact on ARPU and churn
AT&T (NYSE: T) garnered 200,000 subscribers through its DirecTV Now service, which launched in November, as the platform is attracting cord-cutters and consumers that prefer mobile video such as millennials. DirecTV Now is a double-edged sword for AT&T, however. Subscriber additions are coming at the expense of migrations from U-verse TV and DirecTV satellite customers, which generate significantly higher ARPU.
Though DirecTV Now enrollment is convenient, subscriptions will be more sporadic as customers can likewise easily cancel services at their leisure, which will cause an uptick in video churn. DirecTV Now also launched with a variety of technical issues, which will likely deter early subscribers and elevate video churn in 1Q17.
AT&T pursues network innovations to enhance its enterprise portfolio and benefit the broader telecom industry
Business Solutions revenue declined 1% year-to-year in 4Q16 as revenue declines in legacy services outpaced growth in strategic data business wireless service revenue. AT&T is retiring low-demand legacy assets to increase its focus on next-generation technologies that will improve Business Solutions revenue and foster innovation across the global telecom market. AT&T is focused on bringing agility and intelligence to its enterprise customers, bringing its NFV/SDN, IoT and analytics offerings to bear to help its customers transform into digitally optimized businesses.
AT&T is building upon Domain 2.0 through its latest initiative, AT&T Network 3.0 Indigo, which was introduced in January and has been in development the past two years. The Indigo platform, which is still in the concept stage, combines AT&T’s technologies in areas including SDN, security and big data to allow businesses to share data and analytics while safeguarding confidential information.
TBR believes Indigo will be particularly beneficial in advancing AT&T’s smart cities initiatives as businesses and organizations can share analytics gleaned from IoT data to help communities improve efficiency and collaboration.

Despite the chill in relations between Russia and NATO members like Canada in recent years, a mutual interest in the Arctic represents an opportunity to collaborate – not only on northern issues, but also to move toward improved bilateral Canada-Russia co-operation more broadly.
Diplomats, researchers, policy-makers, government officials, businesspeople and Indigenous leaders packed a hall at Carleton University on Nov. 24 for a day-long conference focused on the need for dialogue about the Arctic between Canada and Russia.
“This event shows the way our countries co-operate on critically important issues,” Alexander Darchiev, Russia’s ambassador to Canada, said in his opening remarks, acknowledging what he called “the delicate context” of international diplomacy.
“The general goal today is to show the full potential of the Arctic as a territory of dialogue and peace,” said Darchiev. “People who have lived for generations in the North know there is no alternative to co-operation. For those who live on their own land, the Arctic is not the far end of the Earth, it’s not a frontier to get whatever resources you can and then leave — it’s home, a place we need to work together to improve.”
The conference, on the heels of the first Swiss-Canadian Polar Research Symposium at Carleton earlier in the week, was organized by the university’s Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (EURUS) and Centre for Governance and Public Management (CGPM), with support from the Faculty of Public Affairs, in partnership with Global Affairs Canada and the Russian embassy. Both events showcased Carleton’s leadership in northern research, from physical and social sciences to the policy front.
On Nov. 24, three key themes were on the agenda: the environment and sustainable development, Indigenous peoples and sustainability, and the future of Canada-Russia co-operation in the Arctic. The gathering was also infused by the recognition that, considering the geopolitical tension wrought by conflict in the Ukraine and Syria, any civil and productive conversation between Russia and Canada is a step in the right direction.
“The idea here is simple: let’s talk to each other,” said Carleton Political Science Prof. Piotr Dutkiewicz, co-director of the CGPM and one of the conference’s main organizers. “The question is: where do we start?
“We know what kinds of differences we have. It’s time to engage.”
There are two topics, anti-terrorism and the Arctic, that Canada and Russia are “ready to talk about at the highest level,” said Dutkiewicz. “The Arctic is an indirect way to help us build ties that will be helpful in other areas.
“This started as a conference between academics and community leaders, and it has become something much larger than we thought it would be.”
A History of
Even during the Cold War, Canada and Russia responded to the need to work together in the North through efforts such as the 1984 Canada-USSR Arctic Science Exchange Program.
Power competition between Russia and the West, said University of Waterloo historian Whitney Lackenbauer, does not revolve around Arctic resource or boundary disputes.
Michael Byers, a Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia, said the changing dynamic between Russia and the United States has provided an opening for Canada to step up from the sidelines.
“The world is too interdependent to close off a big country like Russia and say: ‘We won’t deal with you,’” said Byers. Regardless of what’s happening in the Ukraine or Syria, “it doesn’t mean we can’t co-operate on the environment, search and rescue, and other matters in the Arctic. It’s a really important time for lines of communication to be open, and to focus on immediate Arctic needs.”
Collectively, Canada and Russia account for 75 per cent of Arctic land, noted Alison LeClaire, a director general at Global Affairs Canada and the department’s senior Arctic official. The nations share similar challenges: climate change, the remoteness of the region and the health of Indigenous communities. Phenomena such as permafrost degradation and melting sea ice have a significant impact on infrastructure and food security in both countries, as do new developments, including the increase in shipping and tourism.
“How we address these issues will help northern communities adapt to the new climate reality,” said LeClaire.
Opening a dialogue may be the overriding purpose of the conference, she added, “but there are also concrete avenues for bilateral action.”
In the first panel, on the environment and sustainable development, a succession of speakers introduced specific areas of common interest. Carleton professors Francis Abele and Chris Burn talked about Indigenous governance and the impact of melting permafrost on road maintenance and construction, respectively. Stephen Mooney, director of cold climate innovation at Yukon College, concentrated on opportunities for renewable energy in the North, while Rita Cerutti of Environment and Climate Change Canada, co-chair of the international Climate and Clean Air Coalition, raised the concerns around short-lived climate pollutants.
and Arctic Sustainability
A second panel looked at the diverse range of connections between Indigenous peoples and Arctic sustainability.
Anna Otke, a senator from Russia’s autonomous Chukotka region, provided a status report on conditions experienced by the area’s smaller Indigenous groups. At the other end of the spectrum, Inuit art consultant Kyra Vladykov Fisher, who has lived in Nunavut for years, looked at how cultural identity is expressed through art.
“The voice of Indigenous people must take a central role in these types of discussions,” said Nancy Karetak-Lindell, president of the Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada. “We were here long before political international borders were in place. Our use and occupancy of the land allowed countries to lay claim to these vast and important territories.
“Because Canada and Russia share much of the Arctic, it is our responsibility to work together to improve social conditions,” she continued.
“We must move toward decision making that envisions a healthy future for our families and our collective communities amid all of the attention that the Arctic is receiving.”
Russia’s deputy trade commissioner to Canada, Valerii Maximov, talked about the importance of investing in education in Indigenous communities in his country’s northern regions — a priority in Canada as well.
Maximov also highlighted success stories, such as a wind energy project and bison reintroduction program in the Russian Arctic, positive examples of sustainability and wildlife management efforts that show the potential for progress.
In a similar vein, research and strategies that make mining in the Arctic more environmentally friendly can produce best practices that boost sustainability in every nation with a footprint in the North.
Government, academic and Indigenous leaders from Canada and Russia must keep talking about all of these environmental, economic and social issues, Karetak-Lindell urged, and use technology to bring together people who are geographically distant. Political and financial support is essential to facilitate this communication.
“We are defined by what we do during challenging times,” she said. “How will we address the challenges we face and create new opportunities? Together we are stronger and can meet the challenge of change.”

The reports are started coming in and as have been initial indications, KARZZZZ has taken an excellent opening all over. Released on over 1000 prints and seeing 121416 shows a day at all leading multiplexes, the first few shows have been seeing massive inflow of audience across the country.
As confirmed by distributors, the film has made a very good start in not just the cities of Mumbai and Delhi but also at centers in Rajashtan, Gujarat and West Bengal where it is said to have broken even SINGH IS KINNG opening.
As per Utpal Acharya, Vice President INOX, the film has taken a grand opening and is all set to create box office history. In Kolkata, the film has opened to a brilliant response while at Rajasthan, KARZZZZ is breaking all records. At the theater Nasrani, the film has opened to 120% capacity. Overseas too, the movie has got a very good response with Dubai seeing patrons thronging the screens in dozens.
While collections are still pouring in, what is also working in the favor of KARZZZZ and Himesh is the favorable reviews that they are getting. Of course, a couple of reviews haven't been too kind but majority of critics have gone ahead and appreciated Himesh for his much improved performance that has come across as a pleasant surprise.
Director Satish Kaushik too has got it right, especially in the dramatic portions, where he has got all 'masala' elements together to make KARZZZZ an engaging watch. The climax especially is well crafted that leaves a good impression.
Himesh Reshammiya has clearly made an announcement, and how!

Joshua Sanchez’s Four hits cinemas in the US on September 13th, and if the trailer above and the buzz coming out of festivals is anything to go by, it’ll be worth taking a look at. Based on a 1996 play by Christopher Shinn, the ensemble tale takes in several characters, concentrating on a guy who spends the evening hanging out with a young man who’s coming to terms with his sexuality.
Here’s the synopsis: In a nameless, suburban American town, the smell of barbeque fills the air as Fourth of July celebrations move from a hot summer day into night. Joe, a man who works hard and travels a lot, leaves his family behind for the holiday, citing a business trip. Abigayle, his precocious daughter, is left to tend to her ill mother and manage the house on her own, yet again. Seeking just enough attention to get her through another night of her lonely responsibilities, she turns to Dexter, a former high school basketball star whose best days are behind him.
‘And while Abigayle is out with Dexter, Joe is quietly spending time around town with June, a young man he met online who’s struggling to accept himself. And for just this night, the small world that these four live in will become even smaller, though the freedom they experience has never been so dangerous, fleeting and honest.’ [Read more…]

THE LOCK OF LOVE
“Is love the lyric cry of longing, the song of our desire?
Or some crazy chemical confusion, mistook for something higher?”
I was walking in Gorky Park in the sunshine last Saturday. It’s a rather precarious and insecure world being a musician in some ways but one of the compensations is the opportunity to travel and meet extraordinary people and do funny shows and walk in Gorky Park in the sunshine. I love that. And love was very much in the Moscow air that day. A bright, clean cool sky over an unusually happy city with just-married couples promenading by the river to have their photograph taken on their big day. You really would need to be a incorrigible cynic to not wish them well – whatever the future may hold.
Wandering through the silver birch trees, I came across a little bridge over a ravine. Attached to it were lot of brightly covered padlocks. I have been told since that this is a European tradition but I have never encountered it before. I think the idea is you get married then you attach a lock to the bridge and throw the key over the edge as a symbol of forever.
But who knows how long forever is these days?! Time is not what it once was – or what it was once going to be is it?. But for the moment, as Blake said, there may be ‘Eternity in an Hour’ and for these hours at least, the key has been turned and the lock holds true. Long may it do so.
I particularly like the one with the little red jumper – it is as if to say: “I will stay with you through our winters” or perhaps: “Let’s keep this promise warm!”.
I was mainly in Moscow to interview people about Mikail Tariverdiev the Russian composer with who I have become fascinated. I spent some time with Vera, Mikhail’s widow at their apartment in the centre of town in an area reserved for academics, artists and party members during the Soviet times. It was a fascinating insight into their life together and into life as a musician during that era. There are many, many incredible stories to tell – and we shall tell them. But the main thing I experienced with Vera was a strong sense of the deep love she still feels for Mikail long after his passing. The apartment preserved as it was when he died and her work on his archive is a testimony to that. It was a privilege to witness both.
I suppose you could say that their love had a lock that once fastened could not be broken – not by time and not even by the reaper himself.
Yes my friends I bring you good news:
LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH!
Baby you know I’m guilty
So lock me up and throw away the key
I don’t need no bail
If you’re the jail
Just give me life and grant me no reprieve
Yeah baby you knows
This case is closed
And don’t suppose I’ll make a plea
“Cause baby you know i’m guilty

Rihanna to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.
Fans excited as Rihanna teases Supers Bowl appearance
Rihanna to headline Super Bowl Halftime show
Rihanna will return to the stage for the Super Bowl halftime show in February, Apple Music, the major sponsor of the event, which draws massive audiences each year, announced on Sunday.
On Sunday, September 25, 2022, the great singer announced the news on her official Twitter account. She posted a photo of her tattooed arm clutching a football, and it earned over 700,000 likes in the first 20 minutes.
“IT’S ON. @rihanna will take the stage for the first-ever Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show on 2.12.23,” Apple Music said in a tweet featuring a photo of the “Umbrella” and “Diamonds” singer’s raised hand holding a football.
This announcement is coming three years after she turned down the invite to perform at the event in 2019 which was ultimately headlined by Maroon 5. She rejected the place because of how Colin Kaepernick was treated during that time.
The suit was withdrawn two years after Kaepernick and the NFL reached a confidential settlement. He still remains unsigned.

The entertainment and fashion mogul’s Super Bowl performance will come after an immaculately choreographed 2022 halftime show including rap icons such as Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem.
The Weeknd, a Canadian performer, headlined the 2021 halftime show, whereas Jennifer Lopez and Shakira performed the year before.
Since 2019, Roc Nation, which New York rapper-turned-businessman Jay Z established, has been in charge of producing the halftime performance.

The operator of Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant says that seawater radioactivity fifteen kilometres offshore has risen significantly. Plant operator TEPCO reports it is 600 times the maximum allowed by law.
The company has released a new video of the inside of reactor number one. A US-made robot recorded the images on April 29. Experts confirmed that electricity cables were safe and there were no water leaks, but said radiation levels were higher than expected.
Following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster, hundreds of tons of highly contaminated water from the plant was released into the north Pacific Ocean.
As cleanup in the surrounding danger area proceeds, new filtering equipment and fencing were being set up. Tokyo Electric Power has said it may take the rest of this year to bring the nuclear plant back under control.

Sharpe's Tiger is an exciting beginning to the novels in the Sharpe series. Bernard Cornwell has done a great job blending a fictional hero, Richard Sharpe, with historically balanced accounts of Britain's wars in India and Europe from the 1790's through 1815. In each tale Cornwell paints a beautifully detailed picture of daily life in the British army, while placing Sharpe in countless dangerous and dramatic situations. Because it is the first Sharpe book and also because of the exotic 18th century Indian setting, Sharpe's Tiger remains my favorite of the series.
Frederick Davidson (a/k/a David Case) does his usual superb job narrating Cornwell's story. It is astounding that a single performer can create so many beautiful voices and thereby give life to so many distinct characters.
I have only three regrets about Audible's Sharpe stories. First, although Cornwell's series unfolds over multiple novels in sequential order, Audible's library does not include every book. The reader is left to seek out the missing volumes elsewhere. Second, among those Sharpe books that Audible does sell, several are provided in only abridged form, with entire scenes and characters left out. Third, although a large number of the Sharpe books are brilliantly read by Frederick Davidson, some of the books are read by other narrators whose performances are not nearly as polished, greatly lessening the reader's enjoyment of those episodes.
Overall, Sharpe's Tiger is highly recommended as first rate historical fiction, superbly performed. And, if you enjoy this tale there are 20 other Sharpe books to seek out!

More and more children are requesting healthy food be served up their birthday parties, according to one writer.
Abbie Wightwick made the claim on Walesonline.co.uk, stating that kids are becoming more aware of food cooked from scratch and how tasty it can be.
Previously, families would rent out function venues and serve up a buffet of typical party food – sausage rolls, crisps etc. However now, some are being asked to cook their own gourmet food and take it with them to the party venue – not by fellow parents, but by the birthday boys/girls themselves.
Wightwick spoke from personal experience, claiming: “When we tell our children they eat too much junk food and watch too much television, we shouldn’t be surprised when they refuse to do either – just at the moment you wish they would.
“I asked my nine-year-old what he’d like for tea on his birthday. ‘Pizza’ he said…’I want you to make it’ he added. He then reeled off a list of toppings which included egg and spinach.”
Wightwick said she was surprised by the turn of events, and speculated that perhaps parents are now being expected to ignore all shortcuts when it comes to birthday parties. Instead, she “fears” she’ll be forced to cook from scratch everytime her children have a birthday.
“All this at the same time as fielding birthday phone calls and a wild present-opening frenzy with friends,” Wightwick said.
The writer concluded by stating that co-ordinating parties of this kind just “isn’t possible” for parents who have a job, kids with myriad activities and kids’ parties with over 20 guests. Her thoughts were echoed by Mumsnet.com, where an expert claimed: “Key thing to remember: it is a party and the occasional bit of junk food is not a crime.”

CAA employees terminated over issuance of suspicious pilot licences
September 9, 2020 06:42 PM
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) continued its departmental action against employees over the issuance of fake licences as three more employees have been terminated from their services on Wednesday.
The aviation authority has terminated three employees including an officer of CAA’s regulatory licence branch and a joint director.
According to the spokesperson, the terminated employees have been found involved in the issuance of suspicious licences to the pilots. The latest decision of terminating employees was taken in accordance with the regulations after the conclusion of the departmental procedures.
Earlier, CAA had issued show-cause notices to five employees including senior officers besides suspending their services during an inquiry over their alleged involvement in malpractices in the issuance of licences to pilots.
Those suspended include the CAA licencing branch’s senior joint director and Human Resources (HR) supervisor. The accused persons were facing charges of allowing pilots to appear in exams through their proxies.
It is to mention here that the Aviation Division had lately declared licences of 160 pilots from national flag-carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Airblue and SereneAir ‘suspicious’ and ordered the management of the airlines to immediate ground the aviates.

Alzheimer's precursor protein controls its own fate, study finds
This is a microscopic image showing co-localization of a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein, known as sAPP-α, with BACE1, an enzyme involved in the development of characteristic Alzheimer's amyloid deposits. This merging suggests sAPP-α may serve as a mechanism to inhibit BACE1 activity and thus lower production of toxic amyloid beta associated with Alzheimer's disease. Credit: © University of South Florida
A research team led by the University of South Florida Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurosciences has found that a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) -- known as sAPP-α and associated with Alzheimer's disease -- appears to regulate its own production. The finding may lead to ways to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease by controlling the regulation of APP.
Their study is published online today in Nature Communications.
"The purpose of this study was to help better understand why, in most cases of Alzheimer's disease, the processing of APP becomes deregulated, which leads to the formation of protein deposits and neuron loss," said study senior author Dr. Jun Tan, professor of psychiatry and the Robert A. Silver Chair, Rashid Laboratory for Developmental Neurobiology at the USF Silver Child Development Center. "The many risk factors for Alzheimer's disease can change the way APP is processed, and these changes appear to promote plaque formation and neuron loss."
An estimated 30 million people worldwide and 5 million in the U.S. have Alzheimer's. With the aging of the "Baby Boom" generation, the prevalence of the debilitating disease is expected to increase dramatically in the U.S. in the coming years. Currently, there are no disease-modifying treatments to prevent, reverse or halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, only medications that may improve symptoms for a short time.
"For the first time, we have direct evidence that a secreted portion of APP itself, so called 'sAPP-α,' acts as an essential stop-gap mechanism," said the study's lead author Dr. Demian Obregon, a resident specializing in research in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurosciences at USF Health. "Risk factors associated with Alzheimer's disease lead to a decline in sAPP-α levels, which results in excessive activity of a key enzyme in Aβ formation,"
In initial studies using cells, and in follow-up studies using mice genetically engineered to mimic Alzheimer's disease, the investigators found that the neutralization of sAPP-α leads to enhanced Aβ formation. This activity depended on sAPP-α's ability to associate with the APP-converting enzyme, BACE1. When this interaction was blocked, Aβ formation was restored.
The authors suggest that through monitoring and correcting low sAPP-α levels, or through enhancing its association with BACE, Alzheimer's disease may be prevented or treated.

Storm Chances going down but not out…July 21st, 2013 at 10:28 pm by chrisgilson under Weather
After several rounds of storms over the weekend, things will be a little less active for the beginning and middle of the week. That’s because an area of high pressure will move back over New Mexico so we’ll have to recycle the moisture that’s left over. That means storm coverage won’t be as widespread, but more spotty for Central and Western New Mexico. By the end of the week a disturbance will move into Eastern New Mexico giving us a better chance for more widespread storm activity.

Mycoprotein has been examined for its potential to help regulate hunger and appetite. Early findings suggest diets rich in mycoprotein possess important benefits associated with appetite regulation (Bottin et al 2016).
Satiety is the sensation of being satisfied after consuming food or drink for the period of time after consumption until hunger returns. Satiety therefore has a fundamental impact on weight control, as it can affect energy intake.
A number of studies have investigated the effect of mycoprotein on satiety, compared with other protein sources. They have all used the preload paradigm whereby the food in question or a control food is given as a preload, then satiety is measured by monitoring self-reported changes in appetite and energy intake at subsequent meals.
Generally this is done over the course of a day in a laboratory setting where the environment and food consumption are carefully controlled. This may be repeated over a period of days and subjects may record food intake and/or ratings of appetite over a time period following the experiment to monitor any further changes.
Burley et al. (1993) investigated the effects of mycoprotein versus chicken on satiety in eighteen lean healthy male and female subjects. The two lunches were matched for energy and protein content, but the mycoprotein meal was higher in fiber (11g compared with 3g in the chicken meal).
Subjects consumed the test lunch, then a meal in the evening. The study had a cross over design, so that all subjects completed two study days, one each for the mycoprotein and chicken test meals.
Energy intake at the evening meal was reduced by 18% following the mycoprotein meal. Self reported food intake indicated that subjects did not compensate for the decreased energy intakes by consuming more.
The authors speculated that, as mycoprotein appeared to have a greater satiating power than other foods with similar fiber content, the specific types of fiber present might have strong effects on satiety (Burley et al. 1993).
Turnbull et al. (1993) conducted a similar study in thirteen lean healthy female subjects, also using a crossover design. Subjects were given either a chicken or mycoprotein test lunch.
Ratings of appetite were taken just before the test meal and at intervals for three hours following. Palatability of the two meals was also measured and the ratings did not vary significantly between the mycoprotein and chicken lunches. Energy intake was recorded by subjects using a food diary for the days before, during and after the study.
According to the food diaries, energy intake was reduced by 24% and 16.5% on the day of the study and the following day, respectively, after eating the mycoprotein lunch compared with the chicken lunch.
Measures of subjects’ desire to eat and prospective food consumption were also reduced when measured three hours after the Mycoprotein versus the chicken lunch. Again, the authors suggested that mycoprotein fiber seemed to be particularly satiating compared with studies using different types of fiber, particularly as the majority of fiber in mycoprotein is insoluble and the strongest satiating affects tend to be seen with soluble fibers (Turnbull et al. 1993).
Bottin, J Swann, JR Cropp, E Chambers, ES, Ford, HE, Ghatei, M and Frost GS (2016) Mycoprotein reduces energy intake and post prandial glucose release without altering glucagon like peptide-1 and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine concentrations in healthy overweight and obese adults: a randomised control trial.

When it comes to page speed used as a ranking signal for search engines, larger video and photo content has been a bit of a hurdle because it increases page loading time. However, Twitter claims that they’ve “reduced the weight and rendering time, so pages with embedded Tweets load faster than ever before.” They didn’t go into much detail on how this was accomplished, but there are a few explanations out there on how to optimize your images and ‘lose weight’ on your website.
So, what does this means for marketers?
For starters, back-in-the-day (2011) Twitter made it easier to start embedding tweets. In 2013, they made photos automatically display in-stream. It is a great tool for establishing social proof, showcasing customer testimonials, encouraging sharing, and for some operations, it enables content to be displayed in real-time on their site. In short, it provides an outlet for your delighted customers to become promoters and evangelists of your business or brand. As we all know, this sometimes doesn’t always go as planned.
But why are visuals important to your marketing efforts? Because the brain processes imagery 60,000 times faster than text. HubSpot did an A/B Test and found a 55% increase in leads when images were added to Tweets. With Google now indexing Tweets, an increase in Tweet traffic and engagement will help your SEO efforts. Plus, using visuals is an opportunity to break into a new way to reach potential customers and to help your brand stand out. For small businesses looking to have an edge over competition, focus efforts on website design, presence and engagement. A well designed website has an appearance of being more credible which is often the make or break point of a prospect becoming a customer.
Whether all or none of you business is done online, a well-designed website that utilizes and keeps up-to-date with the latest tools is vital to the future growth and success of your business. Word of mouth has evolved into social media with the digital age and there is opportunity in harnessing and embracing it as another tool in your tool bag.

After director Luna Alexander’s production of Fugue for The New Theatre Project (TNTP) at the Mix Studio Theatre in Ypsilanti closed in December, Sarah Lucas’s production of A Body of Water prepared to open in the same intimate space—featuring Luna Alexander. (See Events, Jan. 20).
Homeschooled through middle school, Alexander fell in love with acting after appearing in a Huron High School production of Wit. She turned down a soccer scholarship at EMU to study theater—not a surprising choice for the daughter of people who met while doing a show at the Ann Arbor Civic Theater.
Last season, TNTP artistic director Keith Paul Medelis extended the run of a show, and an actor had to drop out to honor another commitment. Alexander stepped in, and the heightened level of sensitivity and clarity she brought to the role took the show from just OK to top-notch. “She is incredibly selfless, and that’s a fantastic quality in an actor as well as a human being,” says Medelis. “She brings everyone into a scene with her, and the scene is automatically better.” Recently, Medelis invited her to direct Fugue, which she staged with the same confidence and energy she brings to roles she performs.
Alexander says she gives every performance for her mother, who died three years ago. She’s appeared in the Performance Network’s Fireside Festival of New Works and at other area theaters; she’s designed costumes, too—all while working on her degree at EMU, where she’ll graduate this year.
A Body of Water is produced by Sarah Lucas’s new theater company, Threefold Productions. Lucas, a 2010 EMU grad, says she wants to push the boundaries of traditional theater “by making strong script choices and incorporating bold design elements that force the audience into the action of the play.” Lucas hopes working in the same space as TNTP will help build an audience for her new company.
Alexander may help both theaters thrive. She studies a story’s time and place to help create her characters. “If you understand a character’s environment, that’s half the battle of understanding their behavior,” she says, adding that she focuses on voice and body movements. “Acting,” says the former soccer player, “is as physical a job as any sport.”

Bay Area locavores and caterpillars rejoice: An edible urban jungle is poised to sprout in San Francisco.
City supervisors approved legislation Tuesday that will help grassroots farming groups replace barren concrete and forests of weeds on vacant land and rooftops with veggie gardens, chicken coops, and honeybee hives. And the move cements San Francisco’s role as a national leader in urban food production.
“[San Franciscans] are thought of as foodies, and environmentalists,” said Laura Tam, a policy director at the nonprofit San Francisco Planning + Urban Research Association (SPUR), which helped push the new rules forward. “This is a marrying of our sustainability objectives with the reputation that we have in the world.”
The legislation [PDF] follows zoning changes last year that made it easier to operate small farms and legal to sell food grown in San Francisco. This new set of laws will take it further by removing additional bureaucratic barriers for hopeful gardeners and actively searching for land they can use while providing them with seeds, tools, and advice.
A major focus of the bill is community gardening — neighbors coming together to organize, till, and cultivate plots of land in mini-farms that are managed cooperatively.
Aided by $120,000 in city funding in its first year, the Urban Agriculture Program will hire a city official or nonprofit organization to oversee all community gardening within San Francisco. The city’s utility agency will also provide additional funds to support two farms on land that it owns.
The program will audit city-owned land and rooftops in a quest to dig up potential new public gardening sites. It will also develop incentives for owners of vacant lots to allow their land to be used for community farming.
Passage of the bill follows a rise in popularity of urban farming nationally, which has been fueled by the locavore and organic food movements, and by the recession, which has left lots vacant and families hungry.


Chinese smartphone manufacturer, OnePlus, has a reputation for delivering the latest software to its wide range of devices, and not only to its latest flagships. After bringing Android 10 to this year’s 7-series devices, OnePlus has delivered Google’s latest offering to its 2018 flagship duo — OnePlus 6 and 6T.
As we all know, OnePlus has always been keen on delivering a near-stock version of Android, and OxygenOS 10 is no exception. A host of exciting features have been made available for OnePlus 6/6T users, and there’s hardly any room for complaints.
OnePlus 6-series devices come with an infamous notch, and users are generally keen on getting rid of it — through software tweaks, of course. It’s only been a couple of days since the release of Android 10 for the devices, and there’s already a tested plan to tame the notch.
Related → How to update T-Mobile OnePlus 6T to Android 10 already!
Here’s how to hide the notch on your rooted/non-rooted OnePlus 6/6T:
Step 1: Go to Google Play Store and download SetEdit app (Settings Database Editor).
Step 2: Fire up the app and select System Table.
Step 3: Search for “op_camera_notch_ignore.”
Step 4: Tap on it and set the value to “1.”
Step 5: Save.
Step 6: After your notch is hidden, you can even opt to uninstall the app.

Give us a shout in the comments box below if you need any help in hiding the notch on your OnePlus device on the Android 10 update.
Thank you so much. Finally made it dissapear. Its still present on the lockscreen but at least the apps cannot use that space. I can’t understand why the normal settings push the navigation bar down now when you select hide notch…
Ok, that mostly worked. But now when I have apps open there’s nothing at the top but the black bar. No battery, clock, or any notifications. So, still not ideal.
Lifesaver! Was going to downgrade back to 9. Thanks to you I avoided that headache

A new weather system was expected to bring some relief to Seattle skies on Monday. Unfortunately, it has not.
According to the Washington Department of Ecology, “the smoke is mostly still here, and light southerly winds are bringing more from Oregon at least through Tues.”
According to the Washington Smoke Blog (WSB), a partnership between state, county, and federal agencies, and Indian Tribes, the “atmosphere is not delivering what we ordered.”
- See also:
“The clearing that should have been here by now is not only tardy but is poofing out as a lackluster weather feature that won’t do much for us. The ‘cleanest’ air in the state right now is unhealthy air, whereas the model’s advertised menu said we should have been seeing substantial improvements along the coast this morning.”
WSB projections predict that light winds will continue for another day from the south, dragging more smoke north along the I-5 corridor from Oregon fires.
According to IQ Air’s World Major City Air Quality list, Seattle has come in second place for the world’s worst air quality after Portland, beating out several large cities including Beijing and Delhi.

On Tuesday 20 June 2017, as part of its activities for the Greek Diaspora Project, SEESOX hosted the workshop ‘Exploring intra-EU mobilities at times of Crisis’. The workshop, an outcome of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie project EUMIGRE, helped contextualise the recent surge of emigration from Greece within the broader map of European migrations at times of crisis.
At the dawn of the 21st century, intra-EU mobility emerges as an increasingly complex and ambivalent phenomenon. On the one hand, EU-wide opinion polls depict freedom of movement as “the most positive result of” European integration. On the other, with migration having become a hot issue, the freedom of movement within EU is increasingly becoming questioned. This process, which is part and parcel of a shift from the on-going politicisation of migration in specific European national contexts to debating migration across the EU as a whole, started the with EU enlargements eastwards and the Eurozone crisis and escalated with the refugee “crisis” and the recent vote of Britons to exit the Union.
The workshop brought together prominent scholars of intra-EU migration aiming to shift attention from the master narratives about intra-EU mobility to the lived experience of key actors, the mobile citizens. The paper presentations keynotes and roundtable discussions brought to the fore the lessons that can be drawn by those who may be ‘pioneers of European integration’, in that they promote it in practice from below, yet they are at the same time a product of its present-day shortcomings.

- A healthy adult cat will be alright inside of a carrier during a trip that is less than six hours long, to provide the answer in a nutshell.
- If you are going to be gone for a longer amount of time, you should stop at regular intervals to give your cat the opportunity to use the toilet and drink water.
- The very last thing you want to do is to keep your cat confined in the carrier for a longer period of time than necessary.
According to All Feline Hospital, cats are able to retain their urine for anywhere between 24 and 48 hours, which sounds like it would be a very unpleasant experience for the cat. In the unfortunate event that your cat has an accident in its litter box, we have produced a page that explains how to remove the smell of cat urine from plastic.

How long does it take for a cat to like car travel?
Note that due to the fact that every cat and every scenario is unique, the amount of time required for this kind of training can range anywhere from a few days to many months for an individual cat to become comfortable with automobile travel. Do you not yet own a carrier that you may use for your cat?
How Long Can cats go without pooping while traveling?
When they are on the move, it is not unusual for them to go more than 48 hours without defecating. It’s possible that they won’t relieve themselves in their litter box even if you stop by frequently and provide it to them, so be prepared. They don’t want to defecate until they are in an atmosphere that they perceive to be secure and more comfortable for them.
Can cats go 8 hours without using the bathroom?
How Long Is the Maximum Length of Time Cats Can Go Without Using the Bathroom? The majority of cats have the ability to successfully retain their urine for between 24 and 48 hours. If they continue to suppress their emotions for much longer, they may end up with an infection or other health problems.
Will cats go to the bathroom in the car?
Kitty will be OK in her carrier for the duration of your trip, which is less than six hours. Even while cats can go much longer without using the litter box, it’s a good idea to include a pee pad or newspaper in their carrier just in case they have an accident. Because Kitty will be traveling for a greater distance, she requires more room.
Do cats need to pee on road trips?
There is also room for food, drink, and a litterbox in there. As long as the trip does not go for more than 12 to 15 hours at a time, a cat does not actually need to eat, drink, pee, or defecate during the travel time. All that is required is proper planning. During layovers, you should let the meal to sit out for about an hour before picking it up again before going to bed.
How Long Can cats hold their poop for?
- The vast majority of cats have the ability to keep their excrement for anywhere between 24 and 48 hours, and they have no problem doing it overnight.
- On the other hand, one must not make this reason an excuse for not having a litter box in their house.
- It is imperative that litter boxes for indoor cats are easily accessible at all times.
- There is a potential health risk for cats that have gone more than 48 hours without defecating.
How Long Can cats hold their pee for?
The answer to your question is yes; cats have the ability to contain their urine for up to 48 hours, which means they can hold it through the night. The vast majority of cats are able to retain their urine for anywhere between 24 and 48 hours, and they have no trouble doing it overnight.
Can a cat stay in a car overnight?
The temperature inside a car can be dangerous for a cat even on a day when the outside temperature is mild. You should keep your cat’s automobile travel to a minimum and never leave your pet unattended in the car, even if the vehicle is running and the air conditioner or heater is turned on. This does not guarantee your cat’s safety.
How do you travel with a cat in a car?
- To get your cat used to riding in the car, bring him out to the parking lot with his carrier while he is still inside (with its engine off).
- Put a seatbelt around his waist, and then take a seat next to him.
- If your cat is being cooperative, you should offer him a reward that he enjoys.
- Repeat the process while progressively extending the amount of time he is required to remain in the car before he is allowed to get goodies.
Do cats poop during travel?
On a good day, it’s just some fur that got caught on the chairs, but I’ve had to clean up some enormous messes of feces, urine, and vomit! After being in the car for about half an hour, cats typically feel the urge to ″expel″ themselves, in my experience. That is excellent news for a trip that won’t take more than a few hours, but it’s terrible news for one that will!
Can a cat travel long distance in a car?
The majority of people who own cats give their pet’s carrier or box very little thought. The vast majority of individuals do not make frequent use of it. However, it is possible that your cat will spend more time than ever before going in and out of the carrier while you are traveling. Check that it isn’t too big or too little for your feline friend.
How do you prepare a cat for a long car ride?
- Train them by first allowing them to spend some time in the car, where they may become accustomed to the sights, scents, and noises.
- After that, start taking them on short trips around the neighborhood, to the veterinarian, or to run errands together.
- When traveling over a long distance with your cat, you need to be sure that the carrier they are in is one that they are comfortable in and that is safe.
How can I stop my cat from peeing in the car?
After securing the opening of the pillowcase with a piece of twine or a rubber band, you may place your unruly cat (on top of a towel in case it has an accident) in a box, on the lap of your passenger, or in the footwell of your vehicle. Surprisingly few of the felines that are carried in this manner defecate or urine when they are confined in this manner.

Words and Diagnostic Labels of LBP Prognosis
Goal of the Study?
The goal of this study is to learn more about a patient’s perception and expected outcome when a diagnosis is shared with them regarding their low back pain. In a recent paper published in the European Spine Journal1 the authors wanted to know how diagnostic labels influenced the participants. Did labelling a patient with a common diagnosis create poorer expectations and outcomes?
Why are they doing this study?
Patients with back pain listen intently to what the doctor delivers through a diagnosis. People are curious, and this group of researchers was similarly curious about the effects of labelling a patient and their perception. Common diagnoses include lumbar sprain, non-specific low back pain, disc bulge, episodic low back pain, disc degeneration and arthritis. Do these diagnostic labels affect a patient’s trajectory of care?
Two questions were asked of 1447 participants with and without low back pain.
Question 1. When you hear the diagnosis of lumbar strain, non-specific low back pain, episodic back pain, disc bulge, disc degeneration or arthritis, what words or feelings does this make you think of?
Question 2. When you hear these diagnostic labels, what type of treatment do you think they receive?
What did they find?
Several themes emerged from the questioning. The first theme was that a poorer prognosis was found in those that were labelled with a disc bulge, disc degeneration and arthritis, while a good prognosis was found in those for lumbar sprain, non-specific low back pain and episodic back pain.
Why do these findings matter?
The authors of this paper suggest that clinicians should avoid diagnostic labels of disc bulge, disc degeneration and arthritis when communicating with patients with lower back pain.
Commentary from Dynamic Disc Designs CEO Jerome Fryer DC.
This paper simply demonstrates the disconnect between the translation of common diagnoses of lower back pain to patients. Our models help the clinician explain disc bulge, arthritis and degeneration in a non-fearful way to help describe these findings. It is all in the hands of the clinicians caring for low back pain patients to properly explain a simple, common disc bulge, for example. Our Professional LxH Model demonstrates this without cause for concern. This popular model can also show arthritis and degeneration. In the future, I look forward to including ddd models in the patient education of low back research. JF

Anaerobic degradation of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene by cultures enriched from a landfill leachate sediment

The production of microbiologically enriched cultures that degrade cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE) under anaerobic conditions was investigated. Among 80 environmental samples, 19 displayed significant degradation of 10 muM cis-DCE during 1 month of anaerobic incubation, and one sediment sample collected at a landfill area (Nanji-do, Seoul, Korea) showed the greatest degradation (94%). When this sediment culture was subcultured repeatedly, the ability to degrade cis-DCE gradually decreased. However, under Fe(III)-reducing conditions, cis-DCE degradation by the subculture was found to be maintained effectively. In the Fe(III)-reducing subculture, vinyl chloride (VC) was also degraded at the same extent as cis-DCE. No accumulation of VC during the cis-DCE degradation was observed. Thus, Fe(III)-reducing microbes might be involved in the anaerobic degradation of the chlorinated ethenes. However, the subcultures established with Fe(III) could function even in the absence of Fe(III), showing that the degradation of cis-DCE and VC was not directly coupled with the Fe(III) reduction. Consequently, the two series of enrichment cultures could not be obtained that degrade both cis-DCE and VC in the presence or absence of Fe(III). Considering the lack of VC accumulation, both cultures reported herein may involve interesting mechanism(s) for the microbial remediation of environments contaminated with chlorinated ethenes. A number of fermentative reducers (microbes) which are known to reduce Fe(III) during their anaerobic growth are potential candidates involved in cis-DCE degradation in the presence and absence of Fe(III).
