Release Date: November 11, 2014
Studio: Produced by Jimmy Harry (Madonna, Pink, Santana)
For Fans of: Snoop Dogg, Leonard Cohen, Mos Def, Woody Guthrie, Wu Tang Clan, Howling Wolf, Jimi Hendrix
It is not often you witness an amalgamation of sounds and genres so decidedly harmonious that it seems like it has been around forever. Some of the world’s most beloved artists will have difficulty reinventing themselves on occasion. Many music aficionados are looking out for new songwriters to present their fresh and independently cultivated style on a global stage, and from the whereabouts of Venice, California comes one such artist.
Despite the variety of directions his music points the listener in, appearing to have been grown solely in the West coast, Joe Con is not a California native. Con’s cultural and aural depth saw their beginnings in Kentucky, where the daring multi-instrumentalist started to craft his take on the music he now shares with the masses. His upcoming national release, I Choose You, is a road-tested, personal and detailed journey into Joe Con’s desire to etch his experiences and emotions into the timeless wall of music.
On I Choose You, Joe Con welcomes the listener into his far-reaching yet familiar sonic world with “Nothing Without You.” Considering how many instrumental elements Con and producer Jimmy Harry (Madonna, Pink, Santana) work into this track alone, the EP quickly vouches for itself. Smooth, effortless execution, combining rap lines with tuneful melodies and an envious ability to walk the line between intricacy and simplicity instantly set Joe Con apart from his competition.
Second track “Dream” hears the artist fashioning his own spin on Jamaican-style vocal lines to a casual, acoustic-based track. Con shares his thoughts about the ease of dreaming and how inclined he is to do so as one with creative bents.
Con’s mash-up of contemporary beats, folkish melodies, organic accents and transparent lyrics continues on “Said and Done,” the singer’s recollection of past relationships. The brightness and positivity of tone on this track is unusual for how glumly Con sings his lines, but this could be the artist simply getting the matter off his chest.
On “Breaking My Heart,” Joe Con dives even deeper into the blues-centric, introspective and mournful side of his musical spirit, only further adding credibility to the level of musicianship he has reached. The singer-songwriter gives a voice to feelings that thousands of people have gone through during intimate encounters: pangs of regret, sorrowful contemplation and thoughts about one’s own significance.
With the title track on I Choose You, Con brings back his signature surf-meets-pop-meets-groove zest. The musician is an evident fan of slower tempos, but this largely aids his ability to pocket his songs’ themes and make them highly memorable. “I Choose You” lyrically speaks for itself; Con writes about playing music on the road, growing homesick and seeking out companionship that can keep him from getting lonely.
One of Con’s most defining characteristics is his ingenious marriage of hip-hop-influenced vocal execution with readily singable melodies. “I Choose You” is without a doubt a highlight in the extensive catalog that Joe Con already boasts.
EP closer “Matter of Time” could be heard on a comfortably warm, lazy evening at the end of summer, being played by friends who have gathered to ride out the final moments of freedom before school starts again. Con’s lyrical approach takes a different turn on this song, however. The singer wraps up this EP with a depressive, plodding melody as he shares his reflections on the strange, perplexing navigations of love and relationships.
Tracks “Nothing Without You” and the title track are standouts on I Choose You, the latest offering of seasoned musician Joe Con. This EP is sure to find its way into many hands of those who appreciate authentic art and individuals who have a background comparative to Con’s.
This unabashed curator of sound has opened for Snoop Dogg, put out eight releases and completed multiple tours. Joe Con’s sonic flavor is self-dubbed “New Americana,” and such roots spread out as wide as the man himself has traveled. Con is now adding an impressive and genial EP to his already distinguished musical vibe. Be on the lookout for I Choose You to drop on November 11, 2014. Below you can visit Joe Con’s website, Facebook, Bandcamp and more.

The late Ahmet Ertegun and George Treadwell founded The Drifters brand back in 1953. The plan was revolutionary – to constantly change the lineup of the group, to keep them fresh and inspired. They’ve certainly stuck to their guns having featured more than 60 vocalists over the decades. These include icons Clyde McPhatter, Ben E King, Rudy Lewis and Johnny Moore. And as if to prove their point, the group have sold in excess of 214 million singles and 114 million albums worldwide to date.
The current lineup is proud and honoured to be the latest chapter in the Treadwell dynasty and uphold the musical and performance values instilled by Treadwell and Ertegun.

17 people apprehended by police for defying COVID isolation orders since pandemic began
Under the health act, those failing to quarantine can be detained
Edmonton police have apprehended 17 people for defying quarantine or isolation orders since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March.
The first apprehension was made on Sept. 28, police spokesperson Scott Pattison said Tuesday in an email to CBC News.
"That was just the first day we can recall being asked to facilitate a Section 39," Pattision said. "The individuals involved are typically already in the ambulance by the time EPS arrives."
- Alberta government to announce new COVID-19 measures
- 'A deep, dark sense of foreboding' as Alberta braces for surge of COVID-19 illness and death
Police are using certificates issued by Alberta Health Services to detain people, relying on enforcement powers provided under Alberta's Public Health Act.
Under Section 39 of the act, the province can direct police to detain potentially infectious people who refuse to co-operate with health orders and transport them to a specified quarantine facility, such as a hospital.
The law can also be used to compel infectious people to submit to medical testing and treatment, and to ensure they comply with any conditions "prescribed by a physician as being necessary to mitigate the disease or limit its spread to others."
About 70 apprehension certificates have been issued across the province since the pandemic began, said Alberta Health Services spokesperson Kerry Wiliamson.
The orders, considered a last resort, are used "very infrequently," Wiliamson said in an email Tuesday.
"Similar to how patients with infectious tuberculosis are managed when they are not following isolation requirements, these patients are kept in hospital until they are no longer a risk to others. This includes COVID-19 positive cases as well as close contacts."
Williamson said all apprehension orders to date have been for people who are homeless or have addictions or mental health problems. In each case, the person refused to isolate, even when a hotel room was offered, he said.
Police are not always involved, Williams said.
"An example would be when a patient is already at the hospital waiting for results and threatening to leave and refusing to isolate or quarantine. In this case, a Section 39 certificate is issued to keep the patient in hospital pending test results without the involvement of police services."
Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta's chief medical officer of health, has asked police across the province to help enforce COVID-19 restrictions.
Last week, as new measures were put in place for gatherings and businesses, Hinshaw wrote a letter to police agencies across the province, asking them to enforce the new rules.
While Alberta police have the authority to fine those who break the rules, policing have continued to focus on education over enforcement during the pandemic. For instance, Edmonton police only issued 19 tickets during the first four months under pandemic restrictions.

Well-Known Rochester Broadway Sign Removed
Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - The historic Mayo brother statue was moved this week from the Mayo Civic Center site due to the expansion project that began there this week. Just two blocks away, another well-known piece of downtown Rochester history was also relocated.
The Michaels Restaurant sign that had welcomed customers for decades came down as the building is being readied for demolition. The property was purchased last year by Rochester businessman Gus Chafoulias. He intends to develop the property in order to facilitate a skyway connection to his planned Broadway at Center project on the other side of the street.
Michael’s Restaurant opened its doors in 1951 and closed after serving its final customers on New Year's Eve.

The Rwandan government is working to grant business licenses for growing, processing, and exporting medical marijuana - but it still intends to prohibit its own citizens from using this home-grown medicine.
The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) has officially set aside 134 hectares (331 acres) of land to be used for commercial cannabis farming, according to a report by local news outlet The New Times. Rwanda initially legalized medical marijuana in 2020, but this new law will only allow companies to grow cannabis for export purposes only. Cannabis use by Rwandan citizens will remain strictly prohibited, even if used medicinally.
"RDB has been working with other government stakeholders to assess proposals received,” the agency said in a statement reported by The New Times. “The government of Rwanda set a rigorous process to select companies that have or are partnering with companies that have previous experience in the production of cannabis for medical and therapeutic reasons. The assessment process has different stages. So far 5 companies are in the advanced stage.”
The RDB is working with several other government agencies to draw up regulations for medical pot. Officials have said that they will allow legal weed companies to break ground as soon as this infrastructure is in place, but before companies can receive their licenses, they must first implement strict security measures to ensure that every scrap of legal bud ends up leaving the country.
"If you get licensed to grow these therapeutic crops in Rwanda, you will be required to have in place a very strong security program that has to be approved by our security organs, and that security program is going to be highly implemented," said Claire Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of RDB, The New Times reported.
"There will be no way that [cannabis] can leak out of the farm to go to the domestic market or to the wrong users,” Akamanzi added. “The crops will be in a very designated place, there will be very strong measures, whether it is CCTV cameras, watch towers, street lights, and human security. So it is going to be extremely secure.”
Government officials are insisting on these extreme security measures because cannabis use, whether medicinal or recreational, will remain strictly prohibited in the country. Any Rwandan who is busted smoking weed can be fined between 500,000 to 5 million Rwandan francs (US$492 to $4920). These fees alone are an extreme punishment for a country where the average citizen makes $200 a month, but cannabis users can also face 3 to 5 years in prison as well.
These extreme penalties make it clear that Rwandan politicians only care about the financial value of cannabis, and not its actual therapeutic potential. Government officials have predicted that a single hectare of legal export weed can bring in $10 million, which could net the country more than $1.3 billion for its current allotment of 134 hectares.
Other African nations like Uganda and Zambia have also passed laws that will allow them to cash in on the legal weed market without allowing their citizens to actually use medical pot. Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Ghana have legalized the medicinal and industrial use of hemp, but not high-THC cannabis.
Out of the 54 countries in Africa, only two have actually embraced serious cannabis reform. Lesotho legalized medical cannabis in 2017, and South Africa legalized personal recreational use the following year.

New Zealand and Reggae is not the most likely word pairing you would expect to read in a music review. However, this is one musical oxymoron – and musician pairing – that works big time for the Kiwi band Katchafire and their latest release “Legacy” is one easy skankin’ groove after another across all 12 excellent tracks.
Band bio-wise, Katchafire’s music has entrenched itself deep in the hearts of reggae fans from the South Pacific to North America, Europe and beyond. Their patented sweet and smooth reggae has earned them multiple awards, platinum sales, and 4 highly successful studio albums. Katchafire is very much a family affair, consisting of Grenville Bell (lead guitar), his sons Logan Bell (lead vocals/rhythm guitar) and Jordan Bell (vocals / drums), as well as Leon Davey (vocals / percussion), and Tere Ngarua (bass).
Track 01: Fyah In The Trenches / 4:50
Track 03: I Can Feel It A lot / 3:56
And though nearly 8000 miles of ocean separates the Tasman Sea island of New Zealand from the Caribbean island of Jamaica, Katchafire’s connection to the beloved Reggae genre ( beside knicking the band name from the title of Marley’s 1973 album “Catch A fire” ) is instant and powerful upon first listening. This, their fifth studio album, has the band spreads a healing, positive message of love to a world in crisis delivered in old-school roots style that drives the good vibes home but with light shadings of R&B and soul coloring the mix.
Track12: Way Beyond / 4:16
With nearly 20 years of incessant international touring tucked under their Tam’s with bands like Steel Pulse, UB40 and Spearhead stand-out tracks like “Fyah In The Trenches”, “ I can Feel A Lot” and “Way Out” are rife with with snaking, rythmic horns, loping bass grooves, ka-chunking guitar patterns and the sharp-crack drums beats informed by the styles of Marley and the Wailers, Toot’s and the Maytals, Peter ToshTosh and Jimmy Cliff, visages all chiseled onto the Mount Rushmore of Reggae.
And as I sit here with my Bose headphones wrapped around my head there’s a party going off between my ears as this amazing band from “The Land Of The Great White Cloud” rocks steady and I wonder if the majestic islands nick-name refers to a weather occurrence or the fact they must have some realy irie Kaya down under.
Somewhere Bob Marley is bobbing his natty dread head up and down dancing to “Legacy” stoked on the riddim’s he has inspired his spawn like Katchafire to bring forth to the world. – Mez –

Disco Elysium developer ZA/UM has rolled out a Working Class update that allows the detective RPG to run even on a laptop you haven’t touched in years. In its announcement, the company said it wants the game to run on as many machines as possible, “[n]o matter how old or low-tech” they may be. To make that happen, the team optimized Disco Elysium to drop its minimum specs “down to Mariana Trench levels.”
The game’s new minimum specs for Windows machines are: Windows 7, DirectX 11 compatible video card (integrated or dedicated with minimum memory of 512MB), 2GB of RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo and 20GB hard disk space. As PC Gamer notes, the game used to require an Intel i5-7500/AMD 1500 (or equivalent) processor, 4GB of RAM and an integrated Intel HD620 (or equivalent) graphics card.
Mac users can also bust out their 10-year-old laptops to play the game. It will now run on MacBook Pros from mid 2009, MacBook Airs from mid 2012, iMacs from late 2009, Mac Pros from late 2008 and Mac minis from 2009. ZA/UM says these were the oldest machines they tested on and can’t guarantee that the game will run on all devices that meet the specs. It promises to keep optimizing the game, though, giving machines with even lower specs the power to play it.

INDIA; Two-thirds of its population is engaged in agricultural
Besides food grains, it also produces raw material for various
TYPES OF FARMING:
Farming varies from subsistence to commercial type.
4. Primitive Subsistence Farming
Primitive subsistence agriculture is practised on small patches of land with
the help of primitive tools like hoe, dao and digging sticks, and family/
This type of farming depends upon monsoon, natural fertility of the soil and
suitability of other environmental conditions to the crops grown.
It is a ‘slash and burn’ agriculture - Farmers clear a patch of land and
produce cereals and other food crops, when the soil fertility decreases, the
farmers shift and clear a fresh patch of land for cultivation.
Productivity in this type of agriculture is low as the farmer does not use
fertilisers or other modern inputs.
6. Different Names for Slash and burn
Jhumming in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland;
Pamlou in Manipur,
Dipa in Bastar district of Chhattishgarh, and in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Milpa’ in Mexico and Central America,
‘Conuco’ in Venzuela,
‘Roca’ in Brazil,
‘Masole’ in Central Africa,
‘Ladang’ in Indonesia,
‘Ray’ in Vietnam.
7. Slash and Burn in India
‘Bewar’ or ‘Dahiya’ in Madhya Pradesh,
‘Podu’ or ‘Penda’ in Andhra Pradesh,
‘Pama Dabi’ or ‘Koman’ or Bringa’ in Odisha,
‘Kumari’ in Western Ghats,
‘Valre’ or ‘Waltre’ in South-eastern Rajasthan,
‘Khil’ in the Himalayan belt,
‘Kuruwa’ in Jharkhand,
‘Jhumming’ in the North-eastern region.
8. Intensive Subsistence Farming
This type of farming is practised in areas of high population.
It is labour intensive farming, where high doses of biochemical inputs
and irrigation are used for obtaining higher production.
The ‘right of inheritance’ leading to the division of land among successive
generations has rendered land-holding size uneconomical.
So the farmers continue to take maximum output from the limited land.
9. Commercial Farming
The use of higher doses of modern inputs, e.g. high yielding variety
(HYV) seeds, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides in order to
obtain higher productivity.
The degree of commercialisation of agriculture varies from one region to
another. For example, rice is a commercial crop in Haryana and Punjab,
but in Odisha, it is a subsistence crop.
Plantation is a type of commercial farming in which a single crop is grown on a large
Plantations cover large tracts of land, using capital intensive inputs, with the help of
All the produce is used as raw material in respective industries.
In India, tea, coffee, rubber, sugarcane, banana, etc.,
Tea in Assam and North Bengal coffee in Karnataka are some of the important plantation
crops grown in these states.
A well developed network of transport and communication connecting the plantation
areas, processing industries and markets plays an important role in the development.
12. CROPPING PATTERN
Various types of food and fibre crops, vegetables and fruits, spices and
condiments, etc. constitute some of the important crops grown in the
India has three cropping seasons — rabi, kharif and zaid.
13. Rabi crops

Recently, paddy has also become an important crop of Punjab and Haryana.
In states like Assam, West Bengal and Odisha, three crops of paddy are grown in
a year. These are Aus, Aman and Boro.
17. Zaid season
In between the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is a short season during
the summer months known as the Zaid season.
Watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, vegetables and fodder crops.
Sugarcane takes almost a year to grow.

of less rainfall such as Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh and
parts of Rajasthan.
This is the second most important cereal crop.
It is the main food crop, in north and north-western part of the country.
This rabi crop requires a cool growing season and a bright sunshine at the time
of ripening and requires 50 to 75 cm of annual rainfall.
Two important wheat-growing zones in the country – the Ganga-Satluj plains
and black soil region.
The major wheat-producing states are Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya
Pradesh, Bihar and Rajasthan.
Jowar, bajra and ragi are the important millets grown in India.

India is the largest producer as well as the consumer of pulses in the
Major pulses - tur (arhar), urad, moong, masur, peas and gram.
Pulses need less moisture and survive even in dry conditions.
Being leguminous crops, all these crops except arhar help in restoring
soil fertility by fixing nitrogen from the air.
Therefore, these are mostly grown in rotation with other crops.
Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka
31. Food Crops other than Grains
Sugarcane: It is a tropical as well as a subtropical crop.
It grows well in hot and humid climate with a temperature of 21°C to

Sesamum is a kharif crop in north and rabi crop in south India. Castor
seed is grown both as rabi and kharif crop.
Tea cultivation is an example of plantation agriculture.
It is also an important beverage crop introduced in India initially by the British.
The tea plant grows well in tropical and sub-tropical climates endowed with deep
and fertile well-drained soil, rich in humus and organic matter.
Tea bushes require warm and moist frost-free climate all through the year.
Frequent showers evenly distributed over the year ensure continuous growth of
tender leaves. Tea is a labour-intensive industry.

Due to its high cost, it is losing market to synthetic fibres and packing
materials, particularly the nylon.
49. Technological and Institutional Reforms
Agriculture provides livelihood for more than 60 per cent of its
population, needs some serious technical and institutional reforms.
Thus, collectivisation, consolidation of holdings, cooperation and
abolition of zamindari, etc. were given priority to bring about institutional
‘Land reform’ was the main focus of our First Five Year Plan.
The right of inheritance had already lead to fragmentation of land
holdings necessitating consolidation of holdings.
50. Technological and Institutional Reforms
The Government of India embarked agricultural reforms to improve Indian
agriculture in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Green Revolution based on the use of package technology and the White
Revolution (Operation Flood) were some of the strategies.
This led to the concentration of development in few selected areas.
Therefore, in the 1980s and 1990s, a comprehensive land development
programme was initiated, which included both institutional and technical reforms.
Provision for crop insurance against drought, flood, cyclone, fire and disease,
establishment of Grameen banks, cooperative societies and banks for providing
loan facilities to the farmers at lower rates of interest.
51. Technological and Institutional Reforms
Kissan Credit Card (KCC), Personal Accident Insurance Scheme (PAIS) are
some other schemes introduced by the Government of India.
Moreover, special weather bulletins and agricultural programmes for
farmers were introduced on the radio and television.
The government also announces minimum support price(MSP),
remunerative and procurement prices for important crops to check the
exploitation of farmers by speculators and middlemen.
52. Bhoodan – Gramdan
Vinoba Bhave undertook padyatra to spread Gandhiji’s message.
Pochampalli in Andhra Pradesh, some poor landless villagers demanded
Shri Ram Chandra Reddy offered 80 acres of land to be distributed
among 80 land-less villagers.
This act was known as ‘Bhoodan’.
Some zamindars, owners of many villages offered to distribute some
villages among the landless. It was known as Gramdan.
53. Contribution of agriculture to the national
economy, employment and output
Agriculture has been the backbone of the Indian economy though its share in the
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is declining.
in 2010-11 about 52 per cent of the total work force was employed by the farm
Any decline and stagnation in agriculture will lead to a decline in other spheres of
to modernise agriculture. Establishment of Indian Council of Agricultural Research
(ICAR), agricultural universities, veterinary services and animal breeding centres,
horticulture development, research and development in the field of meteorology
and weather forecast, improving the rural Infrastructure etc. were given priority.
54. Contribution of agriculture to the national
economy, employment and output

55. Contribution of agriculture to the national
economy, employment and output
The growth rate in agriculture has been decelerating.
Indian farmers are facing a big challenge from international competition
and reduction in the public investment in agriculture sector.
Subsidy on fertilisers is decreased leading to increase in the cost of
Reduction in import duties - detrimental to agriculture in the country.
Farmers are withdrawing their investment from agriculture causing a
downfall in the employment in agriculture.
56. Impact of Globalisation on Agriculture
Globalisation is not a new phenomenon.
Cotton belts of India attracted the British and was exported to Britain as a
raw material for their textile industries.
Cotton textile industry in Manchester and Liverpool flourished due to the
availability of good quality cotton from India.
The Champaran movement which started in 1917 in Bihar - farmers of
that region were forced to grow indigo on their land.
57. Impact of Globalisation on Agriculture
After1990, the farmers in India have been exposed to new challenges.
Despite being an important producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, jute and
spices our agricultural products are not able to compete with the developed
countries because of the highly subsidized agriculture in those countries.
To make agriculture successful and profitable, proper thrust should be given to
the improvement of the condition of marginal and small farmers.
The green revolution promised much but it caused land degradation due to
overuse of chemicals, drying aquifers and vanishing biodiversity.
58. Genetic engineering
The keyword today is “gene revolution”, which includes
Genetic engineering is recognised as a powerful supplement
in inventing new hybrid varieties of seeds.
Organic farming practised without factory made chemicals
such as fertilisers and pesticides. Hence, it does not affect
environment in a negative manner.
59. Indian Agriculture
A few economists think that Indian farmers have a bleak future
India’s rural population is about 833 million (2011) which depends upon
250 million (approximate) hectares of agricultural land, an average of less
than half a hectare per person.
Indian farmers should diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to
This will increase incomes and reduce environmental degradation
60. Indian Agriculture
Because fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers, vegetables, bio-
diesel crops like jatropha and jojoba need much less
irrigation than rice or sugarcane.
India’s diverse climate can be harnessed to grow a wide
range of high-value crops.

Σύνθεση νανοσύνθετων φωτοκαταλυτών TiO2 / g-C3N4 με ηλεκτροστατική ινοποίηση, χαρακτηρισμός και φωτοκαταλυτική δραστικότητα (Master thesis)
In the present thesis, TiO2/g-C3N4 nanofibers have been synthesized via electrospinning technique (25 kV) and the characterization of the photocatalysts was performed in liquid phase and under solar light irradiation. G-C3N4 has been synthesized firstly by thermal condensation process using urea as precursor compound. Then, composite TiO2/g-C3N4 nanofibers have been synthesized with the following ratios of x% g-C3N4/TiO2, x= 1%, 2.5%, 5% (weight by weight, wt%) nanofibers using tetraisopropoxide as the precursor of TiO2 and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) polymer (Μw: 1.300.000) in absolute ethanol solvent and acetic acid for the hydrolysis of Ti(Pro)4. The materials were calcined at 550 oC and named as GNT1%, GNT2.5% and GNT5%, respectively. TiO2 fibers were also prepared with same procedures and used as reference material.The characterization of the photocatalysts was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), N2 porosimetry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), fluorescence spectroscopy for the quantification of •OH radicals by the hydroxyl – terephthalic acid method and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Based on the results obtained from the previous characterization techniques the produced titania is two-phase and consists mainly of anatase (80.0-85.1%) and in low contents rutile (14.9-20.0%), the diameter of nanofibers varied between 200-300 nm for all samples, the band gap of the photocatalysts was lower than 3.0 eV confirming the shift of the absorption edge of the samples to visible-light region. Furthemore, the photocatalysts are mesoporous materials type VI (a) according to IUPAC classification with specific Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas among 40.0-47.6 m2/g. Moreover, from the fluorescence measurements, the formation of •OH radicals increases as the doping percent of g-C3N4 in TiO2 nanofibers also increases, following the trend ΤiΟ2 < GNT1% < GNT2.5% < GNT5%. The photocatalytic activity of the fiber materials was studied against the degradation of methylene blue dye under simulated sunlight irradiation (Suntest, λ>300 nm, I=500 Wm-2) confirming a high photocatalytic performance and their potential for green chemistry and technology applications.

Just got news that Im going to be cutting a song on my new album cowritten by Blake Shelton!
I could not sing as a kid but it was something I truely wanted to do. Fortunately I had an older sibling that could naturally sing and that's where I got most my training
I'm a simple kind of man; the only thing I really love in this life is traveling the world, flying, and singing.
I am capable of changing my voice drastically therefore I love to sing different styles and even different genres of music
My favorite genres to sing are country, RnB, soul, rock and pop. Some days I even do a little blues or jazz
As of right now I'm really focusing on getting 2 country albums produced. My first album is going to be released around December of this year!
I wrote "Our USA" as a tribute to our country and to all the great men and women who have served and died for this country. The music was composed by Tom Hirschmann.
I wrote "Our Love Don't Change" in the jungles of Costa Rica, I also came up with the melody. My musical genius friend Nicolas Godard put the music to this song and we filmed it on my GoPro camera. This song shows a different side of my voice and musical genre preference.
I cowrote the song "Eyes so Blue" with James Breedwell who writes for Jackie Evancho. Dean Miller the producer for Willie Nelson produced this song.
"8 Second Ride" was produced by one of the Lynyard Skynyard band members Peter Keys, he is also playing the piano on the song. This song is featured on my new Rodeo Album. I have 6 major endorsements by world champion bull riders, saddle bronc riders and bareback riders on this album.

How Man City won the Premier League titleMay 11 | 6 min read
Saints seeking home comforts from Chelsea clash – Hasenhuttl
Southampton have not won a home league game since April.
Ralph Hasenhuttl has demanded Southampton’s players raise their game for the visit of Chelsea in an attempt to end the club’s considerable wait for a home win.
Saints have reserved some their finest performances under the Austrian for the Premier League’s bigger sides, including beating Arsenal and Tottenham last season.
However, the south coast club have not enjoyed success at St Mary’s since seeing off Wolves in mid-April.
Saints boss Hasenhuttl has urged his squad to replicate previous impressive displays against the division’s top teams in order to end that streak when they face Frank Lampard’s Blues on Sunday.
“At home we haven’t won so far (this season). It wasn’t the easiest schedule we had against Liverpool, Man United and Bournemouth – the Bournemouth game was the one where we had the biggest chance maybe to take something,” said Hasenhuttl.
“Every game is very difficult in the Premier League and on Sunday we have a strong opponent but very often we show our best performance against the really strong teams. This is what I demand from my guys on Sunday.
“We need a good spirit and a good mentality and to fight for the first minute.
“The first half will be very intense and can sometimes be a bit wild because they play very quick in front and us too and it can be a bit unorganised.
“Then you have to go in the duels and be very strong and aggressive.”
Southampton battled to a goalless stalemate at Stamford Bridge in January.
They have won just one of the previous 13 meetings between the clubs, a 3-1 victory in west London in October 2015.
“I know what our record is against Chelsea and it’s a very, very strong team,” added Hasenhuttl.
“It’s a team that is young, hungry, committed, with a good spirit so if you want to get something you really have to come very close to the highest level you can perform, I think.
“This is the goal for us on Sunday.
“It’s a team that is very, very high quality in every position, a lot of young players in the team and I think it’s not a coincidence that they won the last three games (in all competitions) so they are in good shape.”

The science of creating over/under lines for NFL games is not as arcane or mysterious as it might seem. It’s typically based on a fairly rudimentary mathematical formula, with the teams’ projected combined total yardage serving as the key element.
Hey, all right! With that knowledge in hand, now all we have to do is accurately predict the total yardage for each team and we’ll be on our way to breaking the bank. (Or “destroying your bookie.” Choose your favorite infantile tout cliché.)
In the first week of the coming NFL season, I’m keeping an eye on two games in particular that have seen their over/under (or “total,” in betting lingo) drop since the odds were first posted for wagering. I don’t think the line is coming back up in either case. At least three of the four teams involved are likely to struggle in the total yardage department.
In the Steelers-Broncos game scheduled for the evening of September 9, the total opened as high as 45.5 in Las Vegas sports books before falling to 45 or even lower, depending on where you shop. I agree with line move, despite the high-powered reputations of opposing quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger.
- Connect with Jeff Haney at sophisticatedmaniac.com
Manning could very well end up having a fine season, but he figures to have a ton of rust after missing the 2011 season. Denver’s defense, particularly a secondary led by safety Mike Adams, is expected to improve under newly hired coordinator Jack Del Rio.
I could see Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Todd Haley, another new hire, establishing a slow, steady pace, running the ball often and allowing Roethlisberger to pick his spots. (A rush-oriented offense is often good for “under” bettors because it tends to chew up the clock.)
I’ll predict a final score of 21-17. Who wins? Who cares? We’re betting totals here.
In the Eagles-Browns game set for earlier in the day, the total opened at 42.5 points in Las Vegas and has fallen to 41.5 in most spots. It’s highly unlikely rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden will find any kind of a rhythm against a blitz-happy Philadelphia defense. Watch for the Eagles to build a lead, then protect it by relying on the rush.
I’ll predict a 24-10 final in favor of Philly, largely because I’m so bearish on Cleveland in this matchup. I’ll also consider including the Eagles as one leg of a two-team, six-point teaser.

Congress indulging in vendetta politics in Punjab: Sukhbir
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today alleged that the ongoing attacks on Akali workers in Punjab had made it clear that the ruling Congress in the state had given a “go-ahead” to its cadre “to indulge in vendetta politics”.
It also seemed that the state police had been “informally co-opted in this vendetta drive” by the Congress, he told reporters here.
“There can be no other reason for the continuing murderous attacks on Akali workers,” said Sukhbir.
The former Punjab deputy chief minister also alleged that the Congress government had “fine-tuned its response to every barbaric act unleashed on Akali workers”.
“Each time, the government offers lip service and asks the administration to act against the offenders. In spite of that, the attacks are continuing. It is obvious that the Congress workers know that the government is not serious about putting an end to this vendetta drive and thus, they continue to attack the Akali workers at will,” he said.
The SAD chief said his party will take up the cases of vendetta politics unleashed by Congress workers in the court of law.
“We will also initiate court proceedings against all the officers who abet such cases,” said Sukhbir.

Nursing care to transgender: Current state of knowledge
Both the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force define transgender “broadly to include those who transition from one gender to another (transsexuals), and those who may not, including genderqueer people, cross-dressers, the androgynous, and those whose gender non-conformity is part of their identity” (NTDS, 2011, p. 12). Gender non-conformists include lesbians, gay, and bisexuals (NTDS, 2011, p. 12). Provision 1 of the Code of Ethics for Nurses of the American Nurses Association (2001) pointed out that “the nurse, in all professional relationships, practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and uniqueness of every individual, unrestricted by considerations of social or economic status, personal attributes, or the nature of health problems.” The preamble of the Code of Ethics prescribed by the International Council of Nurses clearly and unequivocally pointed out that nursing care must be respectful and unrestricted by gender and gender orientation (ICN, 2006, p.1). In line with the codes of ethics mentioned, this review of literature seeks to find out the current state of knowledge in gender-orientation-sensitive health care. ...
literature seeks to find out what material can be considered as the material that can provide a basic reference for protocols and approach towards a gender-orientation-sensitive health care. This review covers materials from 2009 to 2012 and starts from a review of literature conducted on the subject in 2009. Thus, the inclusion criteria followed for the literature review are works written from 2009 to 2012, published in nursing or health journals, and must have the word transgender in the title of the material. The exclusion criteria included materials that are unpublished or non-journal articles, published earlier than 2009, and those that are only online materials. Other materials appear in the bibliography because they are relevant to be discussed in elaborating the points articulated in the selected materials. In a review of literature Addis et al. (2009, p. 647) pointed out that “member of various groups will have different needs, risks and expectations which impact on health, well-being and patterns of accessing health and social care services.” Primarily based on this point, the authors justified why a review of literature on social and health care are important among the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender older people. The focus of the authors’ integrative review of literature was to find out what research has indicated to be the appropriate guidelines or principles in health care among transgender people. Addis et al. (2009) pointed out that transgender people have been largely unknown, together with the gays, lesbians, and bisexuals. Based on their 2009 review of literature, Addis et al. observed that among the main themes that can be derived in the health care studies involving the social groups are isolation and their state of mental health.

Gender organizes our world into pink or blue. As we grow up most of us naturally fit in into our gender roles, girls wear dresses and play with dolls; for boys its pants and trucks. But for some children ... they insist they're born into the wrong bodies.
According to the author, nurse care planning is the application of the nursing process to a specific client situation. Nurses play an important role in the health promotion of an individual due to their direct contact and proximity with the patients. The 3 basic roles of a nurse are that of a practitioner, leader and researcher.
In order to make this determination, the theoretical description of depression is noted, followed by a comparison of the client's statements and actions to those theoretical descriptions, then an analysis of the effect of the client's behavioral stage on the possibility of depression, and finally a discussion of the relevant legal and ethical issues at hand.
The nursing system ensues at that point of time when the nurse intervenes with the patient either to prescribe medication or to provide care that is intended to take care of self-care deficit and regulate his or her own capabilities of self-care (Orem, 1985; cited in Comley, 1994).
Increased technology has enabled such services to be offered in these nursing homes. The concern among family members and residents has however been on the value this offers as compared to hospitalization. The research discussed in this paper was thus aimed at finding the perspective of residents and family members on in situ care in cases of pneumonia.
Nursing care is a vital part of our society as it is directly connected to social welfare of people who cannot independently carry out routine activities of life. Since it is a direct function of interaction with people, it is significantly influenced by cultural and ethnic factors.

About Thin Balance
Dr. Timothy Morley, who claims to be a woman’s hormone expert, has formulated a powdered shake called Thin Balance. He touts the ingredients as a “perfect” blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals to counter the hormonal imbalance that he says prevents weight loss in many women during menopause.
Thin Balance is sold by a company called New Product Solution; there is no further information on its website or the BBB. Dr. Timothy Morley is an M.D. who is a “Bio-Identical Hormone Specialist” and Board Certified in Function Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine. His bio states he has a practice in Manhattan that focuses on combining fitness, nutrition, and supplements to eliminate “hormonal imbalances and creating harmony both internally as well as externally.” (Sorry, ladies, he’s also married.)
How Thin Balance Works
Thin Balance comes in powder form (with a choice of Decadent Chocolate or Sumptuous Vanilla flavor) that they claim is gluten-free. To use, place one scoop in a glass of water, stir, and drink. They recommend using Thin Balance for 14 or 28 days, which from their observations is optimal for the majority of women; their data shows women see results in 2-4 or 4-8 weeks.
Thin Balance claims to go inside your cells and rejuvenate adrenals, thyroid, and all metabolic systems, naturally addressing the “root cause” to balance hormones and reduce menopausal symptoms.
Thin Balance Ingredients
Below are the ingredients (with alleged benefits) in Thin Balance, none of which, as is noted on the website, have been evaluated by the FDA:
Calcium and Magnesium (healthy muscles); Maca (energy, libido); Ayuvedic (aka alternative medicine from India) blend of Alangium Salvitolium, Jujuba and Citrus Bioflavonoids; Dong Quai (aka female ginseng to support female health); Ginger (relief from cramps); Damiana (hormone balancing); Valerian Root (healthy sleep, reduce hot flashes); Chasteberry, Black Cohosh and Flax Lignons (support healthy female hormone production and balance); L-Arginine and L-Histimine (support hormone production); Natural whole food blend with colorful phytonutrients (antioxidents).
They strongly emphasize that Thin Balance does NOT contain female hormones, but rather “supports” your body’s natural ability to bring them into balance. They state it contains 14 grams of vegetarian protein.
What They Claim Thin Balance Will Do
Although the site says (according to FDA regulations) these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, Dr. Morley and the Thin Balance team make a lot of promises about the product. They include weight loss, increased libido, energy boost, reduced hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms, and improved sleep.
They also say using Thin Balance will reduce body fat, excess weight, promote muscle growth, lower calorie intake, provide vital nutrients, suppress hunger, and support balanced hormones. They add it works for perimenopausal women as well as those with premature menopause.
They state there are no side effects from using Thin Balance, but you should consult your doctor before using this or any other weight loss or health products, especially if you have serious health concerns.
The “Why” Behind Thin Balance
Dr. Morely says he has had years of experience with older female patients, complaining of being too tired, bloated, overwhelmed, or feeling unattractive and unable to enjoy life. To help them, he says he combined alternative and traditional medicines along with the feedback of patients to develop the formula for Thin Balance.
Dr. Morely claims that traditional medicine instructs women to eat properly and exercise to lose weight, but that’s not enough. He states you also need hormone balance. He compares it to a three-legged stool: without hormone balance, it is “impossible” to lose weight in a healthy way for the long term.
Each Thin Balance Order includes:
- 14-day supply Thin Balance (chocolate or vanilla) “free” (shipping/handing charge)
- Auto-shipment of Thin Balance every 30 days
Thin Balance Pricing, Shipping, and Returns
They claim you can try Thin Balance for two weeks “free” – just pay $9.95 shipping. They say your order will be shipped in 5-7 days. If you decide you don’t like Thin Balance, you must call them before day 14, otherwise they will begin shipping you a monthly supply and charging you $67.95 plus $9.95 shipping for a total of $77.90 (an alleged 15% discount off the “regular” price.) They state you can cancel shipments at any time.
- A natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy with no side effects
- Developed by an M.D. experienced in women’s hormones
- “Free” 2-week trial
- Automatic monthly subscription unless you cancel
- Statements and claims about Thin Balance have not been evaluated by the FDA

I purchased one can (2 weeks worth) and blended in the morning with 1 cup Almond milk, 1 frozen banana, and 1 scoop of powder. My results: no more hot flashes by day 3, 5-lbs weight loss, and sleeping much better.
My can cost me $39.99 and no shipping cost. There is NO auto-ship required and so I am not sure where the author of this article got their information. When I wanted another can, I simply called the phone number listed on the can.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Neighbourhood unit runs orchard
There is an apartment house surrounded by fruit trees in Chilgol-dong No. 2 in Mangyongdae District, Pyongyang.
Though the orchard takes up only a small area, it is full of grapevines and dwarf peach, persimmon, apricot, plum and other fruit trees providing welcome shade and bearing fruits according to seasons to attract the eyes of passers-by.
Jang Ok Suk, head of the neighbourhood unit there, said that the place where the apartment house was built was a low hill with lots of rubble stones around it.
However, the residents carried and spread soil there little by little to plant flowering plants at first and started growing fruit trees some years later.
Just planting fruit trees could not make them bear fruits, said Jang.
“At first, we were very troubled as we lacked knowledge about cultivation of fruit trees,” said Ryu Myong Sim living in the apartment house. “So we learnt everything from books and brought experience from rural villages.”
Some husbands brought good compost and some housewives good species of fruit trees.
After three years of efforts, they harvested first fruits from the trees.
At that time, Jang Ok Suk divided the fruits among all the households of the neighbourhood unit, saying that they tend the orchard not for the benefit of some people but for the good of the neighbourhood unit as a whole.
The residents were delighted to receive fruits from season to season. Some were surprised to have such nice fruits picked from the small orchard and others said they tasted even more delicious as they were produced by their own efforts.
Now they also grow eggplant, red pepper and chives in the orchard.

Medical Device Cybersecurity: Are you Prepared?February 14, 2023
Medical device manufacturers form part of the first line of defense that health delivery organizations (HDOs) rely upon to manage and combat a cybersecurity attack.
"[C]yber risks are increasing constantly" due to the interconnectedness of the complex systems we rely on for our everyday needs.
- Puesh Kumar, the director of the US Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy, Security, and Emergency, National Public Radio interview on January 30, 2023.
Due to the healthcare industry's increasing reliance on complex computer systems and connected networks in the healthcare space, cybersecurity incidents will result in disruptions to patient care. According to the FDA, the increase in the exchange and sharing of medical device-related health information highlights the critical need for robust cybersecurity controls to ensure medical device safety and effectiveness.
On November 14, 2022, the FDA and MITRE published an updated Playbook titled: Health Delivery Organization (HDO) Medical Device Cyber Incident Preparedness and Response Ver. 2.0 (or "Playbook"). The Playbook focuses on "preparedness and response for medical device cybersecurity issues that impact the functionality of a device."
Although the Playbook's intended audience is HDOs, medical device manufacturers form part of the first line of defense that its customers (HDOs) rely upon to help manage and combat a cybersecurity attack.
Below we've summarized the updated Playbook and compiled a list of key takeaways for medical device manufacturers.
Preparedness: How can HDOs (and device makers) prepare for a cybersecurity attack?
The Playbook recommends that HDOs take the following steps to prepare for a cyber-attack:
- HDOs should catalog the different sources of cybersecurity risk (e.g., number of networked devices, security controls needed to gain access, type of operating systems used, state of the operating systems, the status of known vulnerabilities, etc.).
- The inventory should include such information as the equipment/name and location, the device's logic location (e.g., IP address, physical port or wireless access point connection(s)), device owner and manager, interaction with other devices, device status, and additional information which may be crucial in remotely or physically accessing the device.
- The risk inventory provides a framework for a cybersecurity incident response to facilitate a rapid recovery to normal operations after an incident occurs.
- That HDOs assess medical device cybersecurity risks during the device procurement process.
- After all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This may include securing a commitment from the manufacturer to participate in security exercises at the HDO. This could troubleshoot not only possible cybersecurity threats but also strengthen the relationship between the manufacturer and HDO for the time when an actual incident occurs.
- HDOs should arrange for real-time assistance from the manufacturer ahead of any cybersecurity incident.
- This puts an expectation on manufacturers to remain vigilant of cybersecurity threats that might single out their devices (a practice which they should already be doing) and be ready to provide cybersecurity support, potentially at any time of day or night and certainly without prior notice.
- HDOs should prepare for routing communications in the case of a cybersecurity incident.
- Points of contact outside of the organization (e.g., FDA, device manufacturer) should be pre-established and disseminated to the members of the HDO's HIMT.
- HDOs should be aware of the address: CyberMed@fda.hhs.gov as a point of contact with the FDA if no other information is available.
- So, even without a previously negotiated agreement between the HDO and the device manufacturer, manufacturers should be aware that FDA may call upon them to provide support, a call which they are advised not to send to voicemail.
- Therefore, manufacturers should be prepared to have cybersecurity staff available to provide around-the-clock support for their devices, either in-house or through a contractor.
- HDOs should consider developing pre-prepared templates for communications to affected system users and other internal staff (e.g., HIMT members, C-suite, managers, system owners), external business associates, internet service providers, public announcements about the incident, regulatory or compliance communications, and more.
- Manufacturers might also want to heed this recommendation: they are interested in disseminating their messaging in case of a cybersecurity incident affecting their devices. They might want to have pre-prepared communications ready for such an occurrence.
Detection and Analysis: What Happens Once an Incident Has Been Identified?
Cybersecurity incidents come without prior announcements. Even after an incident is identified, it may be challenging to determine whether an attack occurred and, if so, what happened. Identifying a cybersecurity incident is a necessary first step to detection and analysis. Manufacturers should be prepared to work with HDOs in analyzing and assessing the suspected incident they are observing. An organization might ask: was the incident the result of a system malfunction or human error instead of a targeted act? How did the incident arise? What tools were used to detect the incident? Have regional parties noticed the same or similar experiences on their networks? Have cyber information or watchdog groups noticed anything similar?
Once the incident has been identified, it should be classified to understand the scope of the response. The factors that are reviewed when classifying the response include:
- Potential number of affected parties;
- Potential to spread to unaffected systems;
- Previous experience in mitigating this type of incident;
- Potential for damage or loss;
- Short and long-term business impact.
The outcome of the incident classification drives the response to the incident: more severe responses require rapid activity and more significant effort than a lower-risk incident.
An essential part of the response is communication with the stakeholders. Internal communications are necessary to coordinate a response, and communications outside the HDO to the FDA, affected users, and the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) may also be required.
Containment, Eradication, and Recovery: What Actions Need to be Taken to Address the Incident?
The Playbook recognizes that many HDOs use a "contain, clean, and deny" approach to dealing with cybersecurity incidents. These actions are meant to stop the incident, contain any damage it may have caused, and restore network function as quickly as possible. "Containment begins with the HIMT activation and execution of the [Emergency Operations Plan]." There are several different considerations for an HDO to factor into their response, including:
- Is there a way to test the device and confirm its safety after the threat has been contained?
- Can the device be safely used if removed from the network?
- Could the manufacturer, or another party (e.g., a capital equipment leasing company), provide loaner devices?
- Who can fix the problem, and how long will it take them? Does the organization have the internal resources to address the problem?
- Have the affected devices caused any "collateral damage" to the broader network?
Eradication may be specific to the affected device and the type of network intrusion. In other words, there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach. The Playbook also instructs HDOs to anticipate longer timelines for recovery and mitigation, which the incident may require. In the recovery phase, manufacturers should consider working not only with the HDOs directly impacted by the incident but also with other HDOs using their devices that were not directly impacted or targeted by the attack.
Post-Activity: What Happens Next?
Even after all containment, eradication, and recovery activities have been completed, there is still work to be done. Amongst other things, a firm should evaluate the following:
- What happened and when?
- How well was the plan implemented? How well did it work? What could have been done better?
- What was needed sooner?
- How was information shared between groups that needed it? How could this be improved upon in the future?
- What were the early indicators of the incident? How could these be monitored in the future?
The evaluation results and the items learned should be re-directed to the EOP to facilitate a future response to a cybersecurity incident and improve the HDO's cybersecurity preparedness.
Manufacturers' work is not finished, however. Suppose it was not possible to do so while implementing the security fix. In that case, the manufacturer should conduct a risk assessment of the change to ensure that this newly identified risk is accounted for and that any software update does not adversely affect the device; any identified risks should be documented and remedied (if possible). The manufacturer should also submit any necessary change to the FDA for further review (e.g., new 510(k), PMA 30-Day or 180-Day supplement) and document changes in the design history file for both 510(k) and PMA devices, if necessary.
In summary, the relationships an HDO may build with regional partners, and the internal plan it creates to deal with a cybersecurity incident can lay a solid foundation and prepare the organization for a rapid response when an attack occurs. An organization needs to create a plan that addresses its particular circumstances as comprehensively as possible. The Regional Incident Preparedness and Response Playbook can guide creating or updating an organization's cybersecurity incident response plan.
Key Takeaways for Medical Technology Companies:
- Embed cybersecurity into the company's culture and Quality Management System (QMS) and design controls processes.
- Adhere to FDA Quality System Regulations (QSR) and guidance related to cybersecurity in medical devices.
- Incorporate cybersecurity risk in every phase of the device design and development process.
- Train applicable staff on cybersecurity risks and mitigations related to the company's products so that staff may be prepared to help HDOs and patients in case of a cybersecurity incident affecting the manufacturer's product.
- Be well-prepared for questions from customers and potential buyers of your device.
- Device makers should expect cybersecurity questions in the early stages of the procurement or vendor onboarding process with HDOs.
- Also be prepared to answer questions regarding any suspicious activity after deployment. Some might be benign, some might not.
- Be a partner in mitigating cybersecurity risks.
- Be open and prepared to collaborate in security exercises as required by the HDO.
- Expect to provide cybersecurity support related to the company's products, as needed.
- Be ready.
- HDOs will contact manufacturers for assistance with cybersecurity risks, questions, and incident response plans.
- The FDA may contact device makers if cybersecurity support is needed.
- Companies should review their incoming communication channels processes to ensure that if FDA or an HDO reaches out, the message would get to the appropriate person/team at the company promptly.
- Plan ahead.
- Medical device manufacturers should consider drafting pre-prepared templates that are ready to be used in the case of a cybersecurity incident.
- Identify members and roles of your cybersecurity incident response team ahead of any incident.
- Develop a plan for communicating, analyzing the incident, and responding to it that can guide your team during an incident.
- Follow QMS requirements.
- If software fixes or other device design changes are needed to address cybersecurity risks, the company should follow its Quality Management System and FDA regulations.
- Conduct regular risk assessments to ensure that any new or increased risks are accounted for in the device risk management file.
- Evaluate and submit post-market device changes to FDA for approval, where required.

Copenhagen, Denmark — Mitch Winehouse, father of late singer Amy Winehouse, has put a stop to the performance of a Danish play about his daughter. He declined permission to use her photos and music in the production.
“Amy,” which was supposed to have opened on January 20 in a 220-seat theater in central Copenhagen, was based on concerts, interviews, newspaper articles, and letters written by the British singer. The Royal Theater had been granted a permit to perform the play by Danish copyright agency Koda.
Koda spokesman Nicolaj Hylten-Cavallius said: “We acted in good faith when we gave them the permission for the performance. We believed that the format — a theater play — was OK. We were told by her father and the lawyers around him that we can forget all about the rights for the music, the photos, branding, and everything.”
Mitch Winehouse didn’t give any reason for his objection to the use of his daughter’s music, photos, or belongings, Hylten-Cavallius said.
“Amy” was written by a group of a 11 Danish playwrights, and depicted her life and relationship with drugs and alcohol.
While Mitch Winehouse doesn’t want a play made about his daughter, he has no objection to a biopic — as long as someone “handsome” plays him. His pick? George Clooney.
Winehouse joked, “But they’ll probably end up with Ray Winstone or someone like that knowing my luck.”
There have been rumors that Lady Gaga could play the Grammy-award winner. But Mitch Winehouse said, while he likes her as a person, he isn’t sure she is right for the role.
Do you think Mitch Winehouse was right to deny permission for “Amy”? Who do you think should play Amy Winehouse in a biopic?
