You might be wondering what your “best friend” usually does or where he goes when you are not around. Of course your best friend in this context is not your real friend but your little pet such as your dog, cat, etc. Designed for pet lovers who worry where their pets hang around when they go to work, this mini digital camera, Pet’s Eye View Camera, will be helpful to keep owners informed. Measuring 10 x 5 x 4cm in dimension, pet lovers can clip or hook the tiny camera on their pet’s collar and take some shots. The camera can be set to snap photos at 1, 5 or 15 minutes interval. The mini camera can take up to 40 shots in 640×480 resolution. Users can plug the camera to their Mac or PC to download the photos. This tiny camera has a built-in rechargeable battery which can easily recharge via USB.
The interesting Pet’s Eye View Camera is pretty useful to keep track of pet’s activities. However, the shortcoming of this gadget is it can’t upload the photos taken automatically via Wi-Fi for the pet owners to monitor their pets on real time. If this improvement or feature can be included, it will attract more pet lovers to invest in this gadget. The Pet’s Eye View camera is priced at $55.

Think the $6 toll on the Golden Gate Bridge is bad? Tolls on the New York-New Jersey George Washington Bridge just were hiked from $8 to $12.
That’s in the U.S. where our exepctations are more constrained. In Japan, the 8.1 mile-long auto-rail Great Seto Bridge charges a $45 toll. That eye-popping figure is based on the charge levied by ferry boats to cross the water gap between Okayama and Kagawa prefectures before the bridge was built.

Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession
The Centre for Legal Leadership and Globe Law and Business
£65, Globe Law and Business
This special report comprises five chapters, each written by an expert. Each of the issues covered applies in any workplace but some, such as social mobility, have particular relevance in the legal profession. There has been progress in opening up access to law as a career, but for any legal business or in-house practitioners wishing to improve diversity and inclusion this slim book offers a thoughtful guide with many practical suggestions.
The first chapter covers gender, one of the most neglected areas of diversity and inclusion. It helps to dispel common misunderstandings, such as trans only covering individuals who have undergone surgical changes to their gender. There is some practical advice about transition plans and how to offer support in the workplace.
One of the best chapters is on social mobility. It identifies fundamental barriers at each stage of qualification and offers practical steps firms can take to minimise them – for example, supporting those qualifying through non-traditional routes, such as CILEx and apprenticeships.
The third chapter, on disability, reminds readers that 90% of disabilities are not visible. Often reasonable adaptations will be free or incur minimal cost. Yet workers living with disabilities can offer ingenuity and tenacity in discovering solutions through the skills which they have had to develop in their own lives. There are also timely reminders of how language should be inclusive and the value of senior management role models, particularly in openly discussing mental health issues.
Further chapters cover ethnic diversity and women in the law, again offering many practical suggestions – such as reverse mentoring and how success can be defined beyond billable hours. Clients are increasingly asking about diversity as part of tenders. Practical advice is offered to make improvements, from trainee recruitment, to mentoring schemes and connections with local schools and universities.
This book draws on statistics to support the financial case for improving diversity and inclusion. It emphasises the key role in-house legal teams can take in driving improvement. Diagrams are used sparingly but to good effect.

It turns out even stars get FOMO. On Saturday, Kylie Jenner invited Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin on vacation after the couple joked about how jealous they were of the mogul's most recent getaway. Jenner and her boyfriend Travis Scott are currently on an island getaway with their daughter, Stormi. The vacation is both a chance to celebrate Stormi's first birthday and an opportunity to relax after a major professional year. It's not clear where the couple chose to visit, but the makeup mogul has posted plenty of beachside photos from the trip on Instagram. The shots included a picture of her hugging Scott near a colorful beach cabin, enjoying the ocean with Baby Stormi, and posing on the deck of a boat.
One photo from the vacation caught the attention of Bieber and Baldwin, who are Jenner's longtime friends. The star shared a picture of a pool in the tropical paradise, writing, "don't ever wanna leave." According to E! News, Bieber commented on the photo, writing, "Wow lucky where's the invite to hails and i." Apparently, Jenner and Scott would be open to a double date vacation in the future. Jenner replied, "lolll you love birds can come next time." The Sorry singer has yet to respond, but it seems like these pals might have to team up for their next trip.
Bieber and Baldwin may not have been invited for this trip, but Jenner did bring along her BFF Jordyn Woods. On Thursday, Jenner posed with Woods and Stormi in matching beach looks. She posted several photos from their hang, captioning one photo, "MY GIRLS" with a green heart and clover emoji. She also shared another picture from the resort with Woods and Stormi, writing, "love these two more than life itself." The two besties also posed together on the beach a few days later, posting matching photos on their Instagram. Jenner wrote: "check Jordyn Woods page to see MY view" with the heart eyes emoji.
2018 was a busy year for Jenner and Scott, so it's no wonder the couple need some time to relax. The rapper released his third studio album, including his chart-topping single "SICKO MODE". He also embarked on the Astroworld: Wish You Were Here tour, which he brought along Jenner and Stormi for as they traveled across the United States. Jenner continued her successful makeup line, and she recently announced new blushes, kylighters, and bronzers will debut this year. The couple are clearly taking advantage of the tropical getaway, and it was enough to make their celeb pals envious.
Given how much fun Jenner was having with friends and family on the vacation, it's no wonder Bieber and Baldwin would be eager for an invite. The trip was just the beginning of what will likely be an all-out birthday celebration for Stormi. The reality star's daughter turns one on Feb. 1, and Jenner's already begun party preparations, according to Us Weekly. On Saturday, Kim Kardashian celebrated Chicago's first birthday with an elaborate Alice in Wonderland themed party. Jenner will likely throw an equally spectacular bash for Stormi, since the star has been excited about the milestone birthday for months.
It's not clear if Jenner will plan Stormi's birthday party to take place during their tropical getaway, or at home with the rest of the family. One thing is for sure — Jenner and Scott will have to remember to send an invite to Bieber and Baldwin, or their friends will have even more fear of missing out.

Michigan to take in $427M more than expected
The House Fiscal Agency says it expects Michigan to take in $427 million more by Sept. 30 than earlier forecasts.
It tempers the good news with a warning that the new business tax cut just enacted will create a deficit in the next budget year that will have to be filled with about $77 million of the extra revenue.
The agency released its figures Friday in anticipation of Monday's revenue estimating conference where state economists will forecast how much tax money the state will take in through 2012.

My friend, Mark Kiesling, who I met while working for The Times of NW Indiana had a seizure and died yesterday.
Mark was a straight-shooter. He told it like it is. He told great stories. And he was the funniest person I've ever known. Mark told stories that caused me to laugh so hard I had trouble breathing. And when I got calmed down, I would look at Mark and the laughter would start all over again. He was that damn funny.
I want to share one of my favorite Mark stories with you.
One day while I was at my desk inking an editorial cartoon at the newspaper, Mark told me a story that made me laugh so hard, I knocked over my bottle of ink. My first instinct was to quickly move under the bottle to keep the ink from hitting the carpet in our office. The result was my shirt and pants covered in ink.
It made Mark laugh.
Mostly because I was confined to my office chair until I started and finished a new cartoon.
I wasn't about to go anywhere. It looked like, as one of our co-workers put it, "A squid exploded in your pocket." When it came time later that day for me to show my cartoon to my editor for approval, I asked Mark if he would do it since I was embarrassingly covered in ink.
He simply said, "No."
And then erupted in crazy laughter.
Those shirt and pants hang in my closet because I will never forget that day.
And I will never forget Mark Kiesling.

Hate Manifesto are back with a new EP, 2 years after the well received debut “To Those Who Glorified Death”. The formula sticks very well still. A good dose of blasting, rapid fire tremolo chord-shredding artillery and panzer groove the way Marduk brought it to the masses. The low, or better yet, deep vocals still fit excellent and make them stand out amongst many in Black Metal. The production is perfect for this kind of fury and the songs are too.
There is enough variation to keep it interesting and after a couple of listen you ask yourself…why not more songs? But hey, that’s how it is. A good follow up and probably an appetizer of things to come. If you liked the previous stuff grab this one for sure. (DPF)

My goodness, how the time has flewn.
On September 11, 2001, Danny, a member of FDNY Engine Co. 216, would have driven the firetruck to the scene of the fire, but September 11 was no ordinary day. Driving with the truck meant staying with the truck, and as he watched smoke and flames pour out of the World Trade Center towers, Danny Suhr made a fateful decision…. he was going in with the crew.
Danny left the truck with a probie (a newbie firefighter), and headed towards the Towers.
Seven firefighters, including four from Engine Co. 216, rushed to him and stayed by his side, refusing to leave him. They pulled Danny under the scaffolding of a nearby building and attempted to revive him, even though it had become obvious that he'd sustained catastrophic injuries.
Father Mychal Judge administered last rites to Danny before he himself went with other firefighters to his own death in the collapse of the first tower.
But, because he died when and where he did, and because his seven friends refused to leave his side, they were saved.
Firefighter Daniel Suhr was the first fireman killed on 9/11.
Those seven firefighters were saved not only by the death of Daniel Suhr, but also by the fateful decision of one indiviual. Someone, a man or a woman, arose that morning…a morning no different than any other. Someone showered, brushed teeth, ate breakfast, read the newspaper, maybe kissed a spouse and children good bye.
That someone left for work on the 31st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center….. This person rode the elevator up up up.. over 1000 feet…. got coffee, said hello to colleagues and began the work day….
......and within a couple of hours found that this was to be the last morning of life. That instead of choosing where to go for lunch…it was to be a choice of which way to die.
Who this individual was will never be known. But this SOMEONE was among the estimated 200 people who made the same choice that day. Nearly all were from the North tower, which was hit first and collapsed last. Fewer than a dozen were from the South tower.
There was no time to recover or identify those who were forced to jump prior to the collapse of the towers. Officially, all deaths in the attacks except those of the hijackers were ruled to be homicides (as opposed to suicides). The New York City medical examiner's office stated that it does not classify the people who fell to their deaths on September 11 as "jumpers": "A 'jumper' is somebody who goes to the office in the morning knowing that they will commit suicide... These people were blown out or forced out by the smoke and flames."
In the South tower just the sight of people jumping also saved lives. Many had a close-up view of people plunging to their deaths from a building that was a mirror image of their own.
"I looked at a couple of people jumping, and that was it. I'd seen enough. We've got to get the hell out of here,' " says Jaede Barg, who worked for Aon, on the south tower's 100th floor.
Eric Thompson, who worked on the 77th floor of the South tower, went to a conference room window after the first jet hit. He was shocked when a man came to a North tower window and leaped from a few floors above the fire. Thompson looked the man in the face. He saw his tie flapping in the wind. He watched the man's body strike the pavement below. "There was no human resemblance whatsoever," Thompson says.
The story of the victims who jumped to their deaths is an interesting and sensitive aspect of the Sept. 11 tragedy. Most newspapers and magazines ran only one or two photos and then published no more.
The media was wrong to self-censor photos and video of the jumpers. It was an important part of the day, a terribly heartbreaking and dramatic component to the story — and one the rest of the world saw, but Americans, for the most part, didn’t.
Our magazines and newspapers increasingly run photographs of bodies and corpses from battlefields all over the world. It was irresponsible journalism to leave the full story of what happened on September 11 incomplete, simply because, in this case, the disturbing images happened to be those of Americans. We should have been horrified, not protected.... and we should remain horrified to this day.
For those who jumped, the fall lasted 10 seconds. Count them…ten seconds is actually a long time. They struck the ground at just under 150 miles per hour — not fast enough to cause unconsciousness while falling, but fast enough to ensure instant death on impact. People jumped from all four sides of the North tower. They jumped alone, in pairs and in groups.
Most came from the North tower's 101st to 105th floors, where the Cantor Fitzgerald bond firm had offices, and the 106th and 107th floors, where a conference was underway at the Windows on the World restaurant. Others leaped from the 93rd through 100th floor offices of Marsh & McLennan insurance company.
They kept jumping until the tower fell. They jumped through windows already broken and then, later, through windows they broke themselves. They jumped to escape the smoke and the fire; they jumped when the ceilings fell and the floors collapsed; they jumped just to breathe once more before they died.
They were all very much alive on their way down.
Americans responded to the worst terrorist attack in our history with acts of heroism, sacrifice, generosity, and martyrdom. But for some, out of horrific necessity, their last response was to be one prolonged and agonizing leap of faith.
THE FALLEN by LBC (Seeker)
Facing an opening into sky and smoke beyond all night.
Behind you an inferno.
Clutching the edge of the building.
This day God wrote the letters upon your hands… see them…
A moment held…. a tiny sliver of one hour. See it drip away.
The word "now" ticking like a bomb behind you.
Nothing to do but fall.
Your heart… melting in flame and the pall of smoke.
Your soul flying.
All of this falling slowly,
Only rushing wind.
Caught in one last desperate moment, of one last desperate day…
Hands awake. Pulling upwards.
Out of pain.
Memento Vivere…Remember you live.


5G end-to-end network slicing will allow for the creation of new services and business models
Samsung Electronics and KDDI completed a 5G end-to-end (E2E) network slicing demonstration with a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) in Tokyo, Japan yesterday. The demo, which tied together Samsung’s virtualized core, virtualized RAN and orchestration, explored 5G E2E network slicing capabilities including low latency, guaranteed throughputs and the creation of multiple slices.
“The demonstration provides a foundation that will allow KDDI to offer new 5G commercial services leveraging its 5G commercial networks,” said Toshikazu Yokai, executive officer and general manager of the Mobile Network Technical Development Division at KDDI. “Working with Samsung, we will continue to accelerate growth in advanced 5G technologies to benefit our customers.”
Network slicing, which allows mobile operators to enable multiple virtual networks to be created within a single physical network infrastructure with each slice offering different service characteristics, will make it possible for carriers to create new services and business models.
To further explain the benefits of network slicing, Samsung discussed a hospital’s network as an example, commenting that it can use network slicing to prioritize different performance needs, such prioritizing more bandwidth to emergency room admissions, and less to visitor services.
Further, Samsung claimed that 5G E2E network slicing will reduce time-to-market as well as enable savings on deployment costs because without network slicing, carriers must deploy additional RAN and core to implement new business models, such as smart city applications.
“This collaboration with KDDI on 5G E2E network slicing is a significant step towards new business models using 5G technology,” said Taiyeon Kim, senior vice president and head of Global Technology Service Team, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. “This demonstration spotlights how Samsung’s advanced 5G solutions can support KDDI and open up new business opportunities by unlocking the full power of their 5G commercial network.”
Samsung and KDDI hope to use the results from the demonstration to help standardize E2E network slicing in an international standards organization.
When it comes to 5G, the pair have been working together since October 2019 when KDDI selected Samsung to provide 5G network solutions for its 5G commercial service launch.


The components used in the circuit should be widely available. However, none of them are critical. So - if you can't find the specified parts - You're certain to find something that will do just as well
Stripboard or Veroboard is a board drilled with a matrix of 1mm holes spaced approximately 2.5 mm apart and joined in rows by copper strips. The piece used has 11 rows with 22 holes in each; and measures a little over 5 cm by 2.5 cm (2" by 1"). The drawing shows the board with PCB mounting terminal blocks. But to save money - and/or space - the wires may be soldered to veropins - or directly to the board itself.
Click Here For A Photograph Of The Prototype.
Click here if you're new to constructing stripboard projects.
The terminals are a good set of reference points. To fit them - you may need to enlarge the holes slightly. Then turn the board over - and use a felt-tip pen to mark the 13 places where the tracks are to be cut. Use the "actual size" drawing to check that your pattern is Correctly Marked
When you're satisfied that the pattern is right - cut the tracks. Make sure that the copper is cut all the way through. Sometimes a small strand of copper remains at the side of the cut and this will cause malfunction. Use a magnifying glass - and backlight the board. It only takes the smallest strand of copper to cause a problem. If you don't have the proper track-cutting tool - a 6 to 8mm drill-bit will do. Just use the drill-bit as a hand tool - there's no need for a drilling machine.
Note that one of the links is situated under the IC. It will need to be fitted before the IC Socket. Apart from this - you can fit the ten components and two wire links - in any order you like. I use a small piece of "Blu Tack" to help hold the components and links in place temporarily - while I solder them to the board. A little putty or modelling clay should work equally as well.
The resistors are all shown lying flat on the board. However, R2 and R4 are mounted standing upright. For the two links - use the off-cuts of wire you've trimmed from the resistors. I used a radial capacitor for C2 - with leads 5mm apart. However - in the empty space above the capacitor - two of the holes are joined by solder bridges. These holes enable you to use capacitors with leads up to 10mm apart.
Next - examine the board very carefully - to make sure that there are no unwanted solder bridges or other connections between the tracks. If you backlight the board during the examination - it makes potential problem areas easier to spot. When you're satisfied that everything is in order - add the 9 solder bridges to the underside of the board.
Double check the position and orientation of all of the components. Make sure that the positive side of C1 is connected to Pin 8 - and that the cathode of D1 (the side with the bar) is connected to Pin 14.

While the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation target is close to a 2-percent goal, an outspoken Fed dove said on Tuesday he would “feel better” about raising U.S. interest rates if he were more confident it would continue to rise.
Inflation stuck below the goal is “one of the larger risks” facing the U.S. central bank, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said at the Council on Foreign Relations. He added it was critical to at least hit the target to convince the public that 2 percent is not a ceiling.

This is a reminder to myself.
I spent a significant amount of time this weekend working on my book. I am pleased to announce we have a tentative title. It will be called ’21 Days’ as it is about the 21 day trip that Sarah and Lars (the main characters) take.
I took up this book project for a number of reasons – and one of the most important ones was to give myself a lesson in patience. And I will be the first to admit that I am struggling with this test. For somebody who is just naturally impatient, this is the mother of all tests.
Here’s why –
– It has been 6 months now since I started writing this book and yet, I am only 30% through the 1st draft. The good news is that most of it is sitting in my head (the skeleton atleast) and just needs me to sit down and type it out.
– It takes an incredible amount of time to get into the ‘zone’. I gave up on trying to write 2 hours every weekend because it just doesn’t happen. I need larger chunks.
– Writing is very very very tiring. I feel exhausted at the end of the whole exercise today – satisfied with the progress.
– The thought of only reaching an end many months from now often feels depressing. I am often tempted to just close the project and forget the idea but that’s when I remind myself that this is not so much about the book as it is about learning something. Phew. Tough choice.
– As a way of visualizing the end, I wrote out my ‘Acknowledgments’ page and visualized thanking a whole bunch of people who have supported and encouraged me. That was great fun and I wrote out a chapter all inspired right after that.
All in all, the good news is that I made a decent amount of progress on it this long weekend. Hope to add more on to the progress bar tomorrow. This post is one of many similar ones to follow – a reminder to myself that Rome was not built in a day. Step by step, we make progress..

Long Live the King
It seems both the media and the players have run out of words to describe Felix Hernandez. Words like “unbelievable”, “unreal”, and “ridiculous” are batted around like a beach ball at a Dodges’ game. The truth is, nobody knows exactly how to describe the run Felix is on right now because no one in the history of the game has been on a similar run. In his last 15 starts, Felix has gone at least 7 innings
Mariners Over Braves 4-2
Felix Hernandez allowed one run in eight innings, extending his major league record of games with at least seven innings and two or fewer runs to 15, as the Seattle Mariners beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Tuesday.
Seattle Safety Looks To Impress In Temporary StintJeron Johnson knows this is all going to end. That eventually Kam Chancellor will be back at strong safety and patrolling the Seattle Seahawks secondary. For now, Johnson is going to do all he can to leave a strong enough impression that should Chancellor ever need a break, the secondary will get along just fine. Johnson is beginning his fourth season with the Seahawks, going from the undrafted rookie out of Boise State who fought to make the roster to the established backup to Chancellor as Seattle's strong safety. But his role for Seattle goes beyond that. With Chris Maragos leaving for Philadelphia in free agency, Seattle has no true backup for All-Pro Earl Thomas at free safety. So for now, Johnson must know the free safety role as well. RENTON, Wash. (AP) – August 6, 2014

Even when Prescribed, Opioids can Cause Addiction and Overdose
By Anne Watkins
According to new research conducted by the nonprofit organization Group Health Cooperative, it's not just illicit users who overdose on opioid painkillers.
The study looked at 10,000 people who had received opioid prescriptions over a 90-day period. Of that group, 51 experienced at least one overdose and six people died from an overdose.
That may not seem like a huge number, but when you account for the fact that several million Americas are prescribed opiate drugs each year, this adds up to hundreds of deaths annually. Of course, this figure doesn't take into account the many thousands of overdoses and deaths that occur because of illicit opioid use.
Because both illicit and prescription opioid use continue to grow each year, experts don't expect this problem to go away anytime soon. Because of that, it's important to spread knowledge about how dangerous opioids can be and ensure that doctors only prescribe these drugs when necessary.
Opioid Abuse a Growing Problem
Since the late 1990s, opioid use had grown markedly in the United States, largely as a result of increases in the rate of prescriptions for drugs such as Vicodin and OxyContin.
As heroin use remains at a relatively low level, these prescription medications have become the drug of choice for recreational opioid users. More than 5 million people in the United States obtain illicit painkillers each month, and 2.2 million use these drugs illicitly for the first time each year.
Recreational opioid users obtain the drugs in a number of ways:
- 55 percent get them for free from a family member or friend who has a legitimate prescription
- 14 percent buy it from a friend or acquaintance
- 19 percent obtain it from a single doctor
- 1.6 percent obtain it from multiple doctors
- 3.9 percent obtain the drug from dealers or strangers
These data suggest that, even with illicit opioid use, the drugs most often come from legitimate prescriptions rather than directly from the black market.
But even though illicit opioid use accounts for the bulk of opiate-related overdoses and deaths, the Group Health Cooperative study reminds us that legal, prescription use can be just as dangerous. Given the nature of how the drugs work, no one who takes opiates is completely safe. Tolerance increases rapidly, addiction is easy to develop and withdrawal symptoms can be extremely harsh.
How Opiate Addiction and Overdose Happen
Opiate addiction can develop in as little as one week of regular use. With repeated use, the drugs alter the behavior of areas of the brain known as opioid receptors.
Under normal circumstances, these receptors are what cause people to experience feelings of pleasure and reward, and they also facilitate the body's natural painkilling process. Using an opioid drug on a regular basis gradually desensitizes these receptors to the usual pleasure stimuli. In the process, it also rewires the brain so that users need the drug to feel any sort of pleasure or pain relief.
The more the brain grows accustomed to opioid stimulation, the more a user needs to take to achieve the same effect. For people who take a drug such as Vicodin and Oxycontin, the effects are strongest after the first few doses, and even prescription opioid users often end up taking more than the recommended dosage to feel relief.
In many cases, this is what leads to overdose. The user feels the need to take more and more of the drug while their tolerance gets higher and higher. Many of the most serious overdose cases occur when someone stops taking the drug for a few days and then goes back to it. It takes no more than a few days for the body to readjust its tolerance level, so that when a returning user takes an elevated dosage, the body might not be able to handle it and cause an overdose.
The writers of the Group Health Cooperative study noted that many of the people who overdose or become addicted to prescription drugs suffer from additional problems. For example, many have clinical depression or anxiety, and many have a history of drug or alcohol abuse. As a result, they're much more likely to use prescription drugs in ways that are reckless and self-destructive.
As the opioid drug industry has grown, there has been a simultaneous growth in public awareness of chronic pain and related issues, such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. The result is that more patients are requesting opioid medications, and the medical industry is giving them what they want.
Because of this, it's only natural that the raw numbers of people becoming addicted to and overdosing on opioid medications would rise. Most doctors are very responsible and careful about whom they prescribe these drugs to. Most of the problems occur due to lack of information about a patient's predispositions, patient dishonesty or simple carelessness.
Even so, these problems could largely be avoided if doctors do two things:
- Prescribe opioids only as a last resort and
- Allow patients to take opioids for no more than two weeks.
Ending Prescription Opioid Addiction
While it's relatively easy to prevent overdosing on prescription opioids, addiction often sneaks up on people. It can occur in just a week or two, and it can become powerful even before the patient is aware that it's there.
If you suspect that you're addicted to a prescription opioid painkiller, talk to your doctor about how to transition off of the drug. You may need to go through a detox process, which can take up to a week. If your addiction has been going on for a long time, your doctor may recommend methadone or suboxone replacement therapy to wean you off the drug.

I took the sketch very literally and made it quite simple. I also used the color challenge from Splitcoast yesterday: Real Red, Old Olive & River Rock. I haven't used River Rock in a while and I like it. This time I made my three panels look like a door by using the Woodgrain background and sponging the edges for some depth.
My wreath was fun to do. I've seen somehing similar before, using the two-step Bird punch branch to make it. I started with a circle frame made by first punching a 1 1/4" circle in some scrap Old Olive, then punching around it (on the scrap still, the circle is laying on your table by now) with the 1 3/4" circle punch. Then I covered the whole thing with tape runner and started layering the leaves on. Finally I added the three red rhinestone brads and the ribbon.
What do you think of the antique brad doorknob?? Wouldn't you just love to have doorknobs like that in your house?! I would! Anyway, the sentiment on the outside is from the Home For Christmas stamp set. On the inside I just stamped Season's Greetings.

We have a worthy new Mexican Restaurant in Guiyang. It is located at the Daximen bus station on Zhongshan Xi Lu.
Go to the Da Xi Men bus station and the development is right beside the Pizza Hut on the corner.There is a walking street that kind of looks like Grand Central Station inside. The restaurant is on the fourth floor.
The burrito is very generous, with a 50 rmb price that gives you enough food for two people. The tacos are also good, but not as filling as the burrito. It is recommended that you taste the sauces for the best selection. The actual Guizhou sauces might be the best choice for pepper. Mexican food in Guiyang is a welcome change of pace.
The menu has English in addition to the Chinese:

PHOENIX — Two Arizona representatives are assembling a group to review existing animal cruelty statutes and potentially craft new ones.
“The stakeholder group will focus on policies that ensure when people entrust their beloved pets to a boarding facility, they will be safe and properly cared for,” said Rep. Kate Brophy McGee in a press release.
Brophy McGee has already met with representatives from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Animal Cruelty Investigation Unit (ACIU).
Joining legislators and law enforcement in the group discussions will also be “representatives for small and large pet boarding businesses, county government and animal welfare groups.”
“This is a very complicated issue with many interests,” said Brophy McGee. “Ultimately, the goal is to protect our pets, not interfere or unduly burden businesses that operate properly.”
The necessity for the group comes after 21 dogs perished at dog boarding facility in Gilbert back in June.
Brophy McGee and Rep. Brenda Barton will hold a news conference next week to discuss the issue.

Mid-Atlantic Health Law TOPICS
Termination of Privileges Reversed
A New Jersey appeals court recently reversed a hospital’s termination of a doctor’s clinical privileges on the grounds that the hospital’s peer review committee applied the wrong standard.
The court ruled that the hospital’s decision was improperly based on a finding that the doctor’s conduct “could” adversely affect patient care, instead of “probably would” affect patient care. Because the “could affect” standard encompasses mere possibilities as opposed to probable harm to patient care, the hospital’s termination of privileges did not meet the standard.
The case of Nanavati v. Cape Regional Medical Center arose out of Cape Regional Medical Center’s failure to reappoint cardiologist Dr. Suketu Nanavati to the hospital staff and the termination of Dr. Nanavati’s clinical privileges. Dr. Nanavati had a history of being at odds with the hospital and had openly expressed disapproval of hospital policies and some staff.
The ongoing conflict led the hospital’s credentials committee to recommend denial of reappointment and the termination of Dr. Nanavati’s medical privileges. The recommendation was accepted by the hospital’s Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee found that Dr. Nanavati failed to prove that the recommendation was arbitrary, unreasonable or capricious because of a lack of evidence that his behavior “could” adversely affect the hospital’s ability to deliver quality care to patients. The Superior Court of New Jersey upheld the termination of Dr. Nanavati’s hospital privileges, and Dr. Nanavati appealed.
The appellate court reversed the lower court’s decision because the hospital’s decision was based on the wrong standard. To merit termination, a hospital should present “concrete evidence of specific instances of misbehavior” that causes so substantial a disruption that it “will probably have an adverse impact on patient care.”
The hospital’s bylaws also provided that a physician can be disciplined for conduct that is “reasonably likely” to be disruptive to hospital operations or detrimental to patient care. Because the hospital’s decision in this case was based on a finding only that Dr. Nanavati’s conduct “could” adversely affect patient care, instead of “probably would” affect patient care, the hospital applied the wrong standard, and made Dr. Nanavati’s burden of challenging the decision insurmountable.

Canola Week 2021 had over 50 speakers in three days. Each presentation shared valuable information about the Canadian and global canola sector, agronomy challenges, recent research and required innovations. To relive the experience, view the program at canolaweek2021.com and watch the “Canola Week 2021” playlist at youtube.com/canolacouncil. The following articles are a curation of highlights, and they just scratch the surface of Canola Week content.
Canola cultivars get pod shatter ratings for 2023
Reduced pod shatter loss will contribute to the canola industry’s goal of reaching an average yield of 52 bu./ac. by 2025. Nicolea Dow, farmer from Portage la Prairie and Manitoba Canola Growers director, and Taryn Dickson, resource manager for Crop Production and Innovation with the Canola Council of Canada (CCC), presented the new canola pod shatter ratings tool and described its development process.
The shatter ratings tool represents a cultivar’s level of shatter risk on a scale from one to nine, with “1” being high risk of shatter and “9” being low risk. By giving farmers a clear way to assess a cultivar’s risk for shattering, the tool will help them manage risk from harvest loss, plan harvest operations and prioritize fields when selecting seed.
Canola pod shatter is highly related to genetic background. Lars Østergaard, group leader at the John Innes Centre in the U.K., also presented on research developments his team has made on understanding the genetic basis of canola pod shatter. Recent experiments conducted with Arabidopsis, a plant similar to canola and fellow member of the Brassicaceae family, strongly suggest that higher temperatures are inducing the genetic expression that accelerates pod shatter in Arabidopsis. Further experiments are underway to test if this can also be said for other brassica crops, like canola.
Canola protein varies by growing region
The world’s population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, which means 2.1 billion more mouths to feed. This increases the need to maximize the utilization of high-protein oilseeds already being mass produced. Canola meal is a shining example of this.
Asiyah Suchak, Masters student at the University of Saskatchewan, has a research project to identify regional differences in nutritional value and characteristics of canola protein.
Suchak’s project compares five canola “strains” or cultivars grown at four sites: Peace River, Alberta; Vermilion, Alberta; Colonsay, Saskatchewan; and Crystal City, Manitoba. She first extracted the oil from the seeds, then processed the canola meal and compared the average crude protein values. In her results, canola from Colonsay had the highest average crude protein levels, Peace River had the lowest, and Vermillion and Crystal City tied in between.
Next, Suchak began extracting protein from the canola meal. While she did not have all samples processed by the time of Canola Week, early results do show differences based on cultivars and location. Crude protein content in canola meal ranged from 72.2 to 80.6 per cent. As a next step, Suchak will check the functionality of protein isolates to see if it changes by region.
Switching gears to the end use of canola protein, Dan Kraft, operations and supply chain leader from Merit Functional Foods, delivered a Canola Week presentation on the company’s history, goals, production guidelines and innovative process.
Merit is a three-year-old Canadianowned company with a 94,000 square foot facility in Winnipeg. The facility processes canola and peas into protein that can be added to plant-based foods, like non-dairy frozen treats, protein bars and meat alternatives.
The company recently reached its first phase goal of processing 30,000 tonnes of canola and peas and is working toward 60,000 tonnes in phase two and 120,000 tonnes in phase three.
Merit is building a fully traceable supply chain from farm to table, where protein can be traced directly back to the farm where the canola or peas were grown. Kraft referenced “partnering with growers” a few times during his presentation. Growers sign production contracts with Merit that require them to follow a set of guidelines, including purchasing certified seed, adherence to specific farm management and storage protocols, and extensive harvest and grain testing to meet certification requirements. All canola processed at Merit is glyphosate free, soy free, gluten free and non-GMO.
Merit’s separation step pulls protein from the canola meal with the help of patented products. Its protein “membrane filtration” step, which removes impurities for improved taste and functionality, is also patented.
Conversations around plant-based protein are only going to grow (pun intended). It will be exciting to see how results from Suchak’s project into protein differences by cultivar and growing location could be applied, and to see what the future has in store for canola protein ingredients in human food products.
The worst drought on record
The 2021 drought was the most widespread and severe single-year drought for the Canadian Prairies over the past 50 years. In his Canola Week presentation, Aston Chipanshi, agroclimate analytical service lead for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, showed how the drought covered 94 per cent of the agricultural land in Western Canada, and extreme or exceptional drought covered over 28 per cent of the area.
“Record temperatures in July 2021, unprecedented in intensity and duration, amplified the impact of this drought,” Chipanshi says, with the hottest and driest weather occurring at a critical period for yield – the plants’ reproductive stages.
The result was major yield reduction, including an average canola yield that was about 40 per cent less than the average of the previous five years.
Chipanshi says the 2021 drought was worse than the droughts of 1961, 1988, 2001 and 2002. While weather records for the 1930s are incomplete, Chipanshi says the 2021 drought surpassed the 1930s in terms of drought severity in some places, including southern Manitoba and central Saskatchewan.
Chipanshi notes, interestingly, that despite the severity of the 2021 drought, overall yields were higher than in previous severe droughts because of improvements in agricultural practices. His list of improved practices includes land management, especially the huge reduction in summer-fallowing to conserve soil moisture, as well as direct seeding, selection of drought-resistant varieties and crop substitution. “In some places, our traditional grains may not be sustainable under prolonged droughts,” he says. He also says insurance products are also good adaptive options.
Nutrigenetics and personalized diets
Not everyone responds to diets in the same way. In fact, some people may have a positive reaction, some may have no reaction and some may have a negative reaction to the same nutritional treatment. These different responses may be due to lifestyle, gut bacteria and genetics. Nutrigenetics looks into the third factor, studying how genetic variants affect a person’s response to a nutrient or diet. David Mutch, associate professor in the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Guelph, researches nutrigenetics as it relates to canola oil.
Mutch’s research identified a specific marker in a human gene that indicated how a person’s blood sugar level responds to canola oil consumption. The research showed that canola oil as a replacement for high-saturated-fat oils could reduce the risk of diabetes or help manage diabetes in those people with that specific genetic variant – but it might have no benefit in people without that marker.
With Mutch’s research, health care professionals could use genetic tests like this to create personalized nutrition approaches to encourage changes in their patient’s dietary habits and to manage blood glucose levels. People who could truly benefit from a change in dietary oils could be encouraged to consume canola oil more regularly. People who are not likely to benefit from a switch can stay the course.
From a canola perspective, this research will help the CCC refine its canola health message, explaining who can benefit most from a diet that includes canola oil.
Canola oil for brain health
Richard Bazinet, professor and Canada research chair in brain lipid metabolism at the University of Toronto, presented on how canola oil can supply essential omega 3 fatty acids for the brain.
The human brain is half fat, half protein. Bazinet says the brain is “very active tissue” that accounts for two per cent of the body’s weight but uses 20 per cent of its energy. Yet, nutritional messages concentrate more on the heart and obesity-related diseases than on brain health. In a review of Canada’s new food guide, Bazinet found 62 mentions each of “heart” and “cardio” but no mention of “brain” or “neuro”.
The brain needs omega 3 fatty acids and these particular fatty acids have to come from our diet; the body can’t synthesize omega 3s from other fats. The brain doesn’t need much. Bazinet says the average brain contains about four grams (4,000 milligrams) of omega 3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and it needs to take up about four milligrams per day of DHA to maintain that level.
Fish oil is a good source of DHA. Canola oil contains a different type of omega 3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Bazinet says the liver can use ALA to synthesize DHA. While he acknowledges that science is split on this, his evidence supports that this synthesis does happen. Conversion efficiency might be as low as one per cent, but the required amounts are small. A tablespoon of canola oil might be enough — even with low conversion. One tablespoon (15g) of canola oil contains about 1.5 grams of ALA.
Converted at one per cent efficiency, this tablespoon of canola oil can supply 0.015g (15mg) of DHA per day. The brain needs four mg, as Bazinet has shown.
The bottom line is that people need to eat omega 3 fatty acids for brain health, and canola oil is an accessible source. Canola oil is easy to find and easy to use, and it may be more sustainable than fish sources.
CCC top 5 agronomy priorities
Clinton Jurke, Canola Council of Canada agronomy director, shared the five agronomic priorities that will contribute most to the industry goals of 52 bu./ac. average yield and 26 million tonnes of total Canadian canola production by 2025. Here they are:
- Use 4R Nutrient Management when making fertilizer decisions.
- Choose the best seed traits for each field.
- Achieve a uniform 5 to 8 plants per square foot.
- Identify and manage the top yield robbers in each field.
- Harvest all seeds and deliver them at No.1 grade.
For detailed information on the five priorities, please read “Five CCC agronomy priorities for canola” in Canola Digest Science 2021 at canoladigest.ca
The Guelph Statement will guide federal research funding
In November 2021, Federal-Provincial-Territorial ministers of agriculture got together in Guelph, Ontario and produced the “Guelph Statement”. Marco Valicenti, director general for the Innovation Programs Directorate at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), showed the Guelph Statement in his presentation and said, “This one slide is the key element to the vision and objectives of the next policy framework.”
Valicenti says research approved for federal funding will come under three priority areas: (1) Environmental sustainability and climate change, (2) economic growth and (3) sector resilience – from plant health to artificial intelligence and data.
“We’re at a pivotal point in time,” Valicenti says. “It is extremely imperative that we talk about sustainable development and growth, ensuring that the sector contributes to climate change goals and ensuring that we have stewardship of our lands for future generations.”
Then he adds, “We need to continue to show that research is of strategic value to Canada.”
Much more to learn about biologicals
The relationship among plant roots, soil-borne bacterial and fungal microorganisms in the soil is so intertwined that AAFC research scientist Tim Dumonceaux says a plant is best considered as a “holobiont” – consisting of both plant and microbial cells.
Examining these soil microorganisms will reveal biological allies that could manage plant diseases, increase nutrient uptake and more. In a research update session during Canola Week, Dumonceaux gave a summary of his grower-funded project “Canola frequency effects on nutrient turnover and rootmicrobe interactions”.
Dumonceaux’s project adds to our fairly basic understanding of how bacterial and fungal species associate with crops on the Prairies. It confirms that crop species tend to have their own community of associated bacterial and fungal species, and suggests that some of those species, identified through DNA analysis, could provide crop benefits.
Previously established, long-term (>10 year) rotations of canola-wheat; canola-pea-barley; and canola only were made available for this study. Dumonceaux showed that the soil fungal biome was consistently affected by crop rotation at all sites, and the effect was greatest in the root and rhizosphere – suggesting a clear connection to the crop grown each year. While the study will not result in any immediate recommendations for crop management, results showed that continuous canola resulted in the dominance of one particular fungal species, Olpidium brassicae. Dumonceaux concluded his Canola Week presentation saying that Olpidium brassicae is a poorly understood root colonizer with a life cycle similar to the clubroot pathogen. It was present in roots at all sites, but was especially dominant in short-rotation canola.
Knowledge of crop rotation effects on the soil and root microbiomes will provide the possibility of culturing potential biological allies within the rhizosphere, adding to the capacity of plants to adapt to agronomic conditions and possibly resist disease.

The Tinkerers’ Museum not only recounts the history of a workshop, but also the story of a family, or rather of three generations of Widmers, represented by three men, all with the first name Karl.
You probably remember the oil mill that burnt down. It all began with the purchase of that site by the carpenter Karl Widmer, first of the three Karls. He was farsighted, because he not only acquired the land, but also all the old mill’s water rights. He proved equally farsighted in planning a mechanic's workshop here for his son, Karl Widmer junior, with machinery driven by hydropower. Karl the younger was a cartwright by trade, and had also trained as a mechanic during his military service. After the First World War, his son Karl Widmer, the third of that name, joined the business. He’d been born in 1901 and had learned the mechanic's trade from his father. He worked here in the shop until a ripe old age, tinkering and repairing agricultural machinery, tractors, bicycles and engines. Those three generations spanned the period of the shift from woodworking to metalworking.
People came to the "Widmer Workshop" with all their repair needs and also commissioned the machining of special parts. Thanks to its convenient location, the workshop provided a point of contact for the entire Lake Constance district. Much of the workshop equipment only exists at all due to the skills and craftsmanship of the youngest Karl Widmer. Even the old hydro-electric turbine, which is still fed by the village stream, bears the Widmer brand.
In his old age, the third generation Karl Widmer developed an inimitable trick of initially disappointing his customers when they came in with requests. He’d take a first look at the problem piece they’d brought in and suggest: "Might as well dump this in the old stream back there”. But then he would relent: "Okay then, hand it over, I’ll see what I can do.“
Karl Widmer came to work here in his workshop every day until he reached the age of 97. His spirit continues to reign. The machines seem to be waiting for him – as if he’d only just stepped out for a moment. Karl Widmer died in November 2003 at the ripe old age of 102 – five months after the museum opened.
Can you imagine that? To work in the same business all your life? To work well into old age and actually enjoy it? Without any fuss, and with a focus on what worked, Karl Widmer created a workshop with individual solutions that were always at the cutting edge technically ... and sometimes even ahead of the times.
The second-generation Karl Widmer had retired in 1961. He’d appointed his daughter Anna Thum as his heir, but on condition that the youngest Karl Widmer should be allowed to use the workshop for life. It’s still owned by the Thum family today.

Matav Cable Systems Media (Nasdaq:MATV) won't achieve profits before 2003, predicts UBS Warburg.
Analyst Stephen Levey rated Matav a Hold and set its price target at $20, 25% above the market.
Levey believes that improved regulatory conditions could boost Matav's revenue in 2002, and help it reduce losses.
Satellite television company YES satellite TV (Hebrew site) is still luring away subscribers from Israel's three cable television companies. Although Matav is losing less than the other two CATVs, its overhead is running high.
Matav's current share price incorporates the company's fair value, Levey concluded.

Struggle, hard dull work, and shine
Last updated: May 2021
Hey there, I've been living with IBS for a year now. Survived a lot of annoying stuff such as nausea, severe panic attacks, fever, chills, fear of death, obsessive compulsive disorder and actually I'm fighting derealization. I lost seven KGs due to diets.
Sometimes I take antidepressants which frequently reduced depression symptoms, but sometimes it doesn't work. People tried to scam me too in this sensitive situation. However, I've heard about someone that have cured patients who have been diagnosed with IBS for 11 years. I'll ask for information. If something comes up, I'll post it here.

Focal Point: 'Puppies and Politics'
A bill stalled in the General Assembly would enforce stronger standards on breeders of so-called puppy mills. WRAL News looks at why some are opposed to the measure.Posted — Updated
Original air date: Oct. 28, 2009
In February 2009, Wayne County animal control authorities seized 283 dogs, mostly puppies, from a puppy mill operation in Mount Olive called Thornton’s Kennels.
Most of the animals suffered from a variety of health problems, including malnutrition, skin infections, flea and tick infestation, rotten teeth and jawbones, embedded collars, fur matted with feces and urine, ringworm and disease.
The owner of the kennel was later convicted of animal cruelty.
The Thornton’s Kennels case was in the district of state Sen. Don Davis, D-Wayne, who went to see the dogs and puppies for himself.
The bill would force the breeders to comply with the same standards of care for their animals that already apply to public and private animal shelters, boarding kennels and pet stores.
The bill, narrowly passed in the Senate, was stalled in committee in the House when the Legislature adjourned in August.
The bill was strongly opposed by many dog breeders, but also by a wide variety of powerful special interest groups, including the American Kennel Club, the National Rife Association and several agri-business organizations.
They call the bill arbitrary, vague, and unnecessary and an intrusion on the rights of dog breeders.
But there’s another reason for their opposition: The Human Society of the United States supports the bill. The bill’s opponents claim that the HSUS wants to eventually ban all animal breeding and that it’s backing the puppy mill bill as a small step toward its much larger agenda.
Focal Point: “Puppies and Politics” examines the puppy mill problem in North Carolina, its impact, and the controversial political debate that’s been ignited by legislation designed to help protect both puppies and consumers.

Gas stations across Texas are currently charging an average of $3.06 per gallon, according to AAA Texas.
This is the same price as last Thursday and 92 cents cheaper than this time last year.
Nationally, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.46, one cent lower than last week and 84 cents cheaper than a year ago.
Despite this, falling crude oil prices may provide some relief for drivers in the coming days, as prices have dropped to the mid-$60s from a peak of over $80 last week.
However, AAA Texas spokesperson Daniel Armbruster cautioned that while cheaper oil prices could lead to lower gas prices, the transition to more expensive summer blends could offset these savings.
