Rosetta’s lander Philae, which made a historic touchdown on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko earlier this week, has run out of battery power, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Saturday. In a blog post, ESA said that the lander is now in “idle mode” and it is unlikely that communication will be reestablished in the near future. Contact with the spacecraft was lost at 6:36pm ET on Nov. 14. Philae was expected to deplete its battery power this weekend, but the event happened a little earlier than planned.
The first spacecraft ever to land on a comet has fallen silent, entering a potentially long, cold sleep after running out of power. The European Space Agency’s Philae lander completed its last transmission Friday (Nov. 14) at 7:36 p.m. EST (0036 GMT) before settling into a hibernation state as its batteries ran out. The probe had been studying the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko for 57 hours when it went to sleep, possibly for good. Philae landed on the comet on Wednesday (Nov. 12) as part of ESA’s historic Rosetta mission. “It has been a huge success, the whole team is delighted,” Philae lander manager Stephan Ulamec of DLR German Aerospace Agency, who tracked the comet landing from ESA’s Space Operations Center in Darmstadt, Germany, said in a prepared statement. “Despite the unplanned series of three touchdowns, all of our instruments could be operated and now it’s time to see what we’ve got.”

Relationship Between Young Children’s Gestures and Language Development
thesisposted on 28.06.2013, 00:00 authored by Eileen M. Brann
Relationship Between Young Children’s Gestures and Language Development BY EILEEN MARIE BRANN This study extended research on relationships among gesture and language development in young children, through the design and evaluation of a parent report measure of early gesture use. Using factor analysis, Rasch analysis, and regression analyses, the study assessed relationships among gesture use, sociocultural variables, risk for autism, and language development in young children, using a newly devised parent report instrument, the Checklist of Children’s Gestures (Brann, 2009). Parents completed the Checklist of Children’s Gestures for their two- or three-year-old children (n = 179). Factor analysis confirmed previous research on the functions of children’s gesture use. Rasch analysis revealed the developmental pattern of gesture use. Regression analyses indicated age and socioeconomic differences on gesture ability. Most important, gesture ability explained a significant amount of variance on the language scores on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, even after controlling for sociocultural measures (child’s age, gender, SES, ethnicity, and language learning environment), and autism screening status on the M-CHAT. As the goal of early language assessment is to evaluate the strengths and needs of communicative interactions and pre-speech language functioning in infants and toddlers, these findings suggest that speech- language pathologists and early intervention providers may find it valuable to use a reliable, valid, and feasible parent checklist to assess children’s gestures and to target gestures in language intervention.

The completion of the first draft of the human genome in 2001 was supposed to kick off an era of personalized medicine and curative gene therapies.1 Only in the past few years has that promise started to become reality: several RNA- and DNA-based therapies are now on market, and the first curative gene therapy, Luxturna, was approved in 2018.
These successes were largely due to a better clinical and scientific understanding of safety profiles as well as a refined manufacturing process that met the consistency and quality standards required for clinical scale. The bevy of new gene therapies in the development pipeline has the potential to transform care across several therapeutic areas. However, it also creates new challenges for key stakeholders—including pharma companies, regulatory agencies, providers and payers—in how to recalibrate the pharma development and reimbursement model for therapies that go beyond our traditional approach to treating disease.

Are you insured when you use your personal vehicle for work?
Verified 18 May 2020 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
No, your car, motorcycle or bicycle insurance does not automatically cover you in case of professional use of your means of locomotion. You must take out a specific guarantee for this purpose. We have to distinguish between business travel and commuting.
Répondez aux questions successives et les réponses s’afficheront automatiquement
Travel from home to work
Traveling to work with your car, motorcycle or bicycle is not a professional use of the vehicle. However, you must check whether your insurance contract unconditionally authorizes the use of your vehicle to make the journeys from home to work. If not, you need to purchase a special guarantee from your insurer to cover your costs.
bicycle liability insurance is not mandatory, unlike car and motorcycle insurance.
Using your car, motorcycle or bicycle during your working time to make journeys on behalf of your employer is a professional use of the vehicle.
If your contract does not provide coverage for professional use, you must inform your insurer and obtain their agreement before making this type of trip. Otherwise, in the event of an accident, your insurance may refuse to compensate you, in whole or in part.
The risk of using your personal vehicle for business travel may be covered at your own initiative or at the employer's initiative.
- You can ask your insurer to subscribe to an extension of warranty use of the vehicle for professional use. If the insurer agrees, you will be covered by your civil liability in case of material and/or personal damage caused to a third party. All the guarantees of your contract will then be applicable during the professional use of your vehicle. The insurer will charge you a premium increase and you can ask your employer to pay it. If your insurer refuses the extended warranty, you should avoid using your vehicle for business travel and inform your employer.
- Your employer can take out a mission insurance contract to cover employees using their personal vehicle for business travel. In this case, you will also be covered by your civil liability in case of material and/or personal damage caused to a third party.

- Some 66 organizations representing more than 7.5 million members asked Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Lowe’s (NYSE:LOW) to remove glyphosate-based herbicides including Monsanto’s Roundup from their online and physical stores, environmental group Friends of the Earth said in a release.

- The organizations represent consumers, environmentalists, farmers and beekeepers. They encouraged the retailers to offer alternatives including more organic options.
- The release noted that the World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen that has been linked to other health issues. Glyphosate contributes to monarch butterfly population declines and harms bees, it added.
- Costco (NASDAQ: COST) has already announced its commitment to phase out glyphosate-based products.
- Shares of Bayer (OTCMKTS:BAYRY) were rocked last year after a jury found Roundup responsible for causing cancer.
- “Research shows that homeowners use up to 10 times more chemical pesticides per acre on their lawns than farmers use on crops. It’s reckless to sell consumers products linked to cancer when safer organic alternatives exist,” said Kendra Klein, senior staff scientist at Friends of the Earth.

AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi won its bladder cancer approval just last week—but it’s no longer the newest immuno-oncology med for the condition.
Pfizer and Merck KGaA’s Bavencio (avelumab) nabbed its own accelerated FDA OK on Tuesday, with the advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma nod marking its second indication overall. The pair has set the wholesale acquisition cost for the med at $13,000 per month, based on the average patient, a Merck KGaA spokesman said.
At that price, Bavencio will come in just a tad more expensive than Tecentriq from Roche—which last May became the first checkpoint inhibitor to enter the bladder cancer space—and Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Opdivo, both of which bear $12,500 stickers. And the newcomer will match Imfinzi, which AZ pegged at $13,000.
The new approval comes based on a 242-patient study that showed an overall response rate of 13.3% among patients who had been followed for at least 13 weeks and 16.1% among those followed for at least six months.
“We are delighted to have taken another step forward with our immunotherapy today with this second approval, together with our partner Pfizer. It is fulfilling to see our drive and commitment continue to help patients with challenging cancers,” Luciano Rossetti, M.D., the R&D head of Merck KGaA’s biopharma business, said in a statement.
The approval, which follows not long after Bavencio’s late March go-ahead in rare skin cancer Merkel cell carcinoma, comes amid questions from industry watchers about whether Pfizer will stick with its Merck KGaA partnership. Analysts have questioned whether the deal-hungry buyer would jump ship if, say, Bristol-Myers—whose recent immuno-oncology woes have sunk its stock price—became available.
Pfizer, though, recently insisted that it’s not planning to pull the trigger on a large deal—something it has the ability to do, CEO Ian Read said—anytime soon. That may be because it’s waiting to see whether the CTLA-4 lung-cancer combo approach both Bristol-Myers and AstraZeneca are trialing can prevail over chemo combos, which New Jersey's Merck and Roche are pursuing. Merck's Keytruda is up for a chemo-combo use in lung cancer, with an FDA decision on that new indication due Wednesday.
But Read has also said Pfizer is “committed” to its German counterpart and remains “focused on developing avelumab.”
Meanwhile, Bavencio may not be the new kid on the bladder-cancer block for long. Keytruda, which already boasts indications in lung cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer and more, is also vying for a nod in the space.

Pre-critical plants are those that clear the land early: annual legumes for grain, flax for fibre, early potatoes, canola, early hybrid corn or green masa, hemp for fibre, early sugar beets, etc.
It is not recommended to use other herbal cereals as a precursor due to the high sensitivity of fusarium wilt, nor is it recommended to plant in monocultures for the same reason.
The best results were obtained when the species were included in cycles of 3-4 years, with ancestors of the legume group, which leave large amounts of nitrogen in the soil and release the ground in time. Triticale is valued as a valuable precursor to any crop because of its speed when clearing the ground.
Considering that the current varieties cultivated in Romania have lower resistance to fall than wheat, due to the large size of the plants, the doses of fertilizers applied to the crop should be of moderate values and calculated according to the natural fertility of the soil.
In terms of soil work, the triticale has similar requirements to wheat or rye, requires loose soil in the surface layer, 15-20 cm, stable, well-groomed with water and nutrients.
Soil works are carried out according to the previous plant, the remaining plant residues and the condition of the soil water supply at the time of its implementation. The lack of water in the soil and the impossibility of achieving quality tillage leads to the situation when soil work is carried out exclusively with heavy harrows, the depth of which can reach 15-18 cm.
It is recommended to prepare seed beds using machines that mobilize the soil superficially, and as far as possible, the last work should be carried out perpendicular to the direction of sowing. These works are well carried out according to the species such as: sugar beet, potato or soybean.
By the large number of soil works applied for the preparation of the germ layer, especially in the areas where pediological dehydration is manifested, it was found that the structure and texture of the soil suffer, reducing its productive potential.
The seed and the seed
The quality of triticale seeds should be as high as possible, with values of physical purity of at least 98% and germination strength of at least 90%, thus ensuring superior beneficial value.
In order to prevent the occurrence of diseases during vegetation and to ensure plant immunity during the first 20-30 days of vegetation, it is recommended to treat the seeds before sowing with certain products, fungicides or fungicides, similar to those indicated in the autumn wheat sowing technology.
The optimal sowing time for triticale varies according to the planting region: from September 15 to October 1 for the cooler mountainous regions of Transylvania and the Subcarpathian hills of Oltenia, Montania and Moldova, and from October 1 to 10 for the warmer regions of the south and west of the country.
Sowing outside the optimum season, early or late, led to a decrease in yield, for the same reasons given to the wheat crop (reduced winter resistance, defective completion of the plant hardening stage, attack of pathogens or pests, reduced twinning, etc.)
The seeding area provided for a triticale crop is between 400 and 500 germination seeds/m², with corrections made in case the optimum season is exceeded up to 550 germinating seeds/m² to ensure the seed plot at harvest.
Seeding rate – varies by MMB and decimal between 230 and 280 kg/ha.
Sowing depth – between 4 and 7 cm. The triticale seed has the longest period of time and the greatest strength to penetrate the soil.
The distance between the rows is the same, as with all woolen grains, and is 12.5 cm. They can also be sown 15 cm between rows in seed-producing crops to provide plants with more food space.
The maintenance of cultural hygiene in the triticale crop is ensured by the application of preventive or curative measures.
For weed control, commercial products approved for the wheat crop will be used, and herbicides are selected according to the group of weeds present in the crop and their degree of development.
Triticale turned out to be more sensitive to the stress of the use of herbicides, therefore, in order to avoid the phenomenon of phytotoxicity, it is recommended to strictly monitor the period of application of the herbicide in relation to the fenofen phase of development of triticale plants.
Due to the high altitude, special attention should be paid to this crop of plant fall, which can also be due to errors in the application of the technological sequence: shallow sowing, one-sided fertilization with nitrogen or in large doses, large plant thickening, etc.
To prevent this phenomenon, treatments are applied in the vegetation, when the plants reach the beginning of the stage of straw formation. Emerging irrigations in dry autumn, at rates of 300-400 m3/ha, have proven to be very beneficial, with plants appearing uniformly in short periods of time.
During the growing season, 1-2 irrigations can be applied, depending on the precipitation regime of the region, to maintain the minimum ceiling at 50% IUA (active moisture range calculated at a depth of 0-50 cm)
Irrigation standards for vegetation will be 500-800 m³ / ha, depending on the water permeability of the soil.
Triticale is harvested when the grain is fully ripe, without exceeding this stage due to the high risk of vibration represented by the crop, with average losses due to vibration estimated at 300-400 kg/ha. The delay in harvesting is another major drawback – the appearance of grain sprouting in the ear, a phenomenon that occurs when rainfall occurs for a longer period of time during the harvest period.
To avoid these drawbacks, the triticale crop is harvested when the grain moisture reaches 16%.
Triticale granules are more sensitive to threshing, which requires fine-tuning of the harvester, correctly sizing the drum speed and the distance between the threshing and counter threshing.
The green mass is harvested at the end of April, when the plants can be fed directly into animal feed or for forage using electric mowers or mechanical mowers.

In-situ testing techniques applied to embankments over soft organic soils Brown, Stephen Granger
The investigation of a test fill over organic soils has been carried out using three in-situ testing techniques. One-half of the fill area is serviced by wick drains while the other half remains in a natural state. Piezometer cone penetration tests, dilatometer tests and field vane tests were used to monitor the test embankment over a one year period during both the construction and consolidation phases. The ability of these tests to monitor embankments is evaluated. The results show that the piezometer cone penetration test gives the best overall performance. The results also show that the wick drains improved the drainage of the organic soils significantly. In a separate study, piezometer cone penetration tests, dilatometer tests and screw plate tests were performed to determine engineering properties of the organic soil such as undrained shear strength, coefficient of consolidation and drained constrained modulus. The strengths and weaknesses of each test are discussed with particular reference to the testing of organic soils. Finally, predictions of settlement are made from the in-situ drained moduli and are compared with the observed settlements. Settlements predicted using Sanglerat's (1972) correlation for drained modulus for the cone penetration test were found to compare well with the observed values.

The move comes amid a series of sexual abuse and rape allegations against senior politicians. The government is facing a backlash for its apparent initial reluctance to act, with nationwide protests bringing tens of thousands of people onto the street.
Delayed government reaction
Morrison said he will adopt all 55 recommendations from the “[email protected]” report drawn up by the government’s own sex discrimination commissioner, Kate Jenkins. The report was first published in January 2020.
The new rules will abolish exemptions for politicians, judges and public sector employers who hire volunteers from sexual harassment complaints.
Attorney-General Michaelia Cash said that legislative changes would include classifying workplace sexual harassment as “serious misconduct,” making it a valid reason for dismissal. Cash replaced her predecessor last week after rape allegations against him came to light.
The government will also extend the period during which a victim can report an incident from six months to two years.
“Sexual harassment is unacceptable,” Morrison told reporters in the capital, Canberra.
“It’s not only immoral and despicable and even criminal, but ... it denies Australians, especially women, not just their personal security but their economic security by not being safe at work.”
Litany of sexual abuse scandals
The government has faced political turmoil after a female former staffer who used to work for Morrison’s government said in February that she was raped in a ministerial office in 2019.
In March the former attorney-general revealed that he was the subject of an unrelated rape allegation dating back to 1988, but strongly denied the accusation.
Further complaints have added to the scandal. A staff member was photographed masturbating on a female politician’s desk, a state MP was accused of raping a sex worker and yet another lawmaker had to apologize after harassing women online.
Morrison has been accused of failing to act quick enough, and his personal approval rating has taken a hit.
He has since demoted the two senior ministers involved in the scandals and hopes to get the new legislation into parliament by June.

Punta Secca is a fisherman’s village that is part of Santa Croce Camerina – Ragusa. In the last years it became famous in Italy because of the TV Series “Detective Montalbano“.
Actually the history behind this area is much more interesting and it starts before the Romans. Later it was dominated by Arabs and Normans. The area had different names during the centuries like Ayn al-Qasab, Raʾs Karam, Raʾs Karama, Capo Scaramia and, recently, Capo Scalambri.
Today it is possible to see the Scalambri Tower built in XVI century along the sea coast.
Close to Santa Croce Camerina it is possible to visit the beautiful town of Marina di Ragusa with its “Porto Turistico” and the Baroque style of Ragusa Ibla, Modica and Scicli.

123. Memorandum From the Executive Secretary of the Department of State (Pickering) to the President’s Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs (Scowcroft)1
- Azores Base Agreement Renewal
The Agreement with Portugal to maintain our base rights in the Azores will expire on February 4, 1974, (with a negotiating period until August 4, 1974). Given the continuing strategic importance of the Lajes complex and its specific relevance to anti-submarine warfare in the Atlantic, a new arrangement extending our access to these facilities must be sought. In return, the Portuguese will want as high an economic and policy price as they can get.
In July, 1973 Secretary Rogers had a preliminary conversation with the Portuguese Foreign Minister in Helsinki and stressed the importance of the base facilities to the whole Alliance. The Secretary suggested that the base be made available without compensation as Portugal’s contribution to Western defense. Foreign Minister Patricio expressed displeasure with the current agreement and indicated that Portugal expected to negotiate for better terms.
The Portuguese have agreed to our proposal that negotiations for future use of the base be held between the Portuguese Ambassador (Themido) and Under Secretary Porter. We plan to proceed slowly in getting into those discussions which will begin sometime in the fall.
Since the Portuguese have indicated that they are expecting to receive compensation for the base rights, we believe it would be highly desirable for Secretary-designate Kissinger to reaffirm to Foreign Minister Patricio in New York that we think the base should be provided free of charge, thus setting the stage for the subsequent Porter-Themido talks.
Summary: Pickering discussed the renewal
of the Azores Base Agreement.

Winter geese fly in to a Central Valley wetlands pond at dawn
Near the end of May I revisited some photographs from the past year, including a set that I made on an annual New Year’s Day visit to California’s Central Valley. For several years now a group of friends, photographers, artists, and more have greeted the dawn of the new year by going together before dawn to celebrate the new year and the annual spectacle of the winter bird migration into the valley. So, during the first week when the temperatures here in California rose into the nineties, I enjoyed recalling a foggy morning when they sat near freezing.
We arrived a half hour before dawn to find patchy, thinning fog. We set out trying to determine, in the half-light, where the birds might be, and soon some were spotted settling in on a nearby pond. We headed that way, and I lined up a view across the pond, past quiet foreground birds and past a row of trees toward the eastern sky, which was gradually beginning to brighten. I made this photograph as another small group of birds was flying in to join those already on the pond
First dawn light descends the eastern face of the Cottonwood Mountains and touches the desert floor
A morning like this on the desert flats, surrounded by arid and rugged mountains, waiting for the sun to rise, is very special. We arrived in the dim, pre-dawn light and set out across the flats toward the edge of dunes, passing across scrubby desert plants and over rocky and sandy ground, listening to the steady crunching of footsteps in the silent landscape. We probably should have started a bit earlier, but we lingered a bit too long over coffee, and as we approached the edge of the dunes the sun began to move down the face of the mountains to the west.
The light on the mountains was set off against a sky darkened by the clouds of a passing weather front, and thin clouds intermittently shadowed the dawn light. It worked its way down from the ridges to the base of the mountains and then it very quickly began to light the terrain around us, first with gently cloud filtered light and soon more intensely. We quickly stopped walking and looked around for any nearby subject that might serve as a canvas for this light — I found a few long plants nearby growing in sand and moved to position them in front of the mountains as the soft light touched them.
These remarkable pinnacles stand just off to the side of a route I often use to get to Death Valley National Park, and that’s where I was reading on this day back in March. The pinnacles are just outside of their namesake town of Trona, a rather isolated and seemingly decaying old town whose main business seems to be extracting minerals from the playa holding Searles Lake. A drive through the town reveals that it is still alive, but that it is suffering the malady of so many isolated desert towns depending on extraction industries, namely an eventual decline. There are many buildings that have clearly just been abandoned.
The pinnacles are visible a few miles away from Trona, out in the valley just south of the lack. They appear as a long row of huge, tooth-like formations. I understand that they are ancient tufa formations, related to but much larger than the similar formations in some other well-known California locations. I have been contemplating photographing them for years, and from time to time I stop and drive out there. The main challenge has always been the lighting, and every time I’ve been there the light has been the stark, clear sky light of desert day, which is not always conducive to photography. This time that light was softened a bit but a few high clouds and some haze, and as we explored the pinnacles I saw this juxtaposition of near and far towers.
A great blue heron stands next to a Sacramento Valley pond
As I prepare photographs to share via social media (in my continuing photo-a-day marathon, now perhaps the years old) I often have photographs lined up for posting days or weeks in the future. Occasionally one sits here on the computer for a long time before I finally share it. This photograph of a great blue heron is such a photograph — I made it almost four months ago, way back when we were in the middle of winter!
This past winter I decided to expand the range of my bird photography a bit. I’ve been photographing winter birds in Central California for the past few years, but mostly in a range from roughly Sacramento south. So it was time to connect a few dots on the map and travel out of that area a bit. One of the first extended visits took me a good distance up the Sacramento Valley on a cold winter day when snow topped the mountains to both the east and west. This specimen was hanging out along an irrigation ditch near the edge of a wildlife refuge, and it allowed me to get relatively close (“hidden” inside a vehicle) without taking flight.
A flock of geese prepares to land on a foggy wetlands pond at dawn
Another California winter day and another trip to visit the Central Valley and search out migratory birds and fog and atmospheric light! Back in early February the bird action was beginning to pick up, and we would consistently find at last some geese (and often many more and other birds, too) when we arrived. Fog is one variable. I love thick fog, especially in these locations, and we often got precisely that. But on this morning the fog was thinner and earlier to dissipate, here already thin enough before dawn to let us see the winter sky.
As we watched the fog drift and thin and the sky begin to get lighter, groups of birds (mostly Ross’ geese) began to arrive, circling a bit and then landing on the ponds. The arcing curve of this flock’s flight, descending towards the right and then beginning to circle back, is visible in this photograph if you look closely. A few earlier arrivals float on the pond in an area lit by reflected sky.
This is one of a pair of similar photographs I made in this spot on a lovely dense fog morning out in the winter Central Valley. (The other is simpler and doesn’t include the foreground plants.) We had arrived quite a bit earlier and had already done a circuit of the gravel road that encircles the location, and we were now on our second loop. Believe it or not, the fog had become a lot less thick by the time I made the photograph!
Imagine that everything is still, but that the sounds of birds are everywhere — a combination of visual stillness but audio tumult in every direction. As I watched this little island the fog continued to thin and thicken, and at times it almost became invisible. Shortly after I made the photograph the clearing began in earnest and the beaks began to develop in the shallow tule fog.
Evening rain and sandstorm as sun illuminates the Grapevine Mountains
During the spring season in Death Valley National Park almost anything can happen. It can be 90 degrees or higher, or it might snow. Days may be pleasant to sunny, or it could be overcast with huge winds and dust storms or rain. We just spent the better part of five days there, and I think I saw as great a range of conditions as I’ve encountered before. The second evening was particularly remarkable. We were up in Panamint Mountains when we first noticed the tell-tale haze of dust storms, and by the time we returned to the Valley it was so windy that there was nothing to do but hunker down and wait it out. Near sunset the winds began to abate a bit and we ventured outside. I heard a few claps of thunder and it began to rain huge drops. Later we discovered that it had snowed on the highest peaks.
A few days later the conditions were supposed to be more benign. We spend early morning hours photographing out on the dunes, then did a midday and afternoon hike up a beautiful canyon. Exiting the canyon we were surprised to see dust beginning to rise again, since the forecast had called for very light winds. By the time we got back to Stovepipe Wells the winds were howling, light rain was falling, and dust filled the atmosphere. A bit later things calmed down and I decided to make a quick evening trip to a nearby high point from which I could get an overview of the valley. Arriving there I could see a wild combination of dramatic light on up-valley mountains, rain falling on their summits, and the dust storm growing below. Within minutes of making this photograph the wind began to howl and the dust enveloped my position and I retreated once more.

by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio for VT Italy
The judges of the second criminal section of the Court of Lecce (Puglia, Italy) sentenced on November, 19, the former investigating magistrate of Trani Michele Nardi, accused of criminal association aimed at corruption in judicial acts and forgery, to 16 years and nine months in prison.
The prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 19 years and 10 months. Nardi, who is under house arrest, was arrested in January 2019 together with the then public prosecutor from Trani Antonio Savasta (sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment with an abbreviated rite) on the charge, contested by both, of having guaranteed favorable procedural outcomes in various judicial matters and tax in favor of entrepreneurs involved in investigations in exchange for large sums of money and, in some cases, for jewels, diamonds and various utilities. The disputed facts date back to the period between 2014 and 2018.
Among the main defendants was also Luigi D’Agostino, king of the outlets and businessman in confidence with the parents of Matteo Renzi, former Prime Minister and secretary of the Italian Democratic Party. D’Agostino in July, in abbreviated rite, was sentenced by the Gup of Lecce to 4 years of prison also by virtue of his confessions which contributed to the arrest of the two magistrates.
The Court sentenced the police inspector Vincenzo Di Chiaro, considered an accomplice of the former prosecutor Savasta, to 9 years and 7 months in prison; 6 years and 4 months were inflicted on the Bari lawyer Simona Cuomo; 5 years and 6 months to Gianluigi Patruno; 4 years and three months to Savino Zagaria, brother-in-law of the former magistrate Savasta.
It should not be forgotten that the case of the former prosecutor Savasta caused even more sensation because it brought up prominent figures in politics. The names of Tiziano Renzi, father of the former premier Matteo, and of the deputies of the Pd Luca Lotti, former minister and undersecretary to the Prime Minister, and Giovanni Legnini, undersecretary for the economy and then vice-president of the CSM (Superior Judiciary Council), in fact appear in the interrogations of the entrepreneur from whom the investigations which culminated in the pre-trial detention orders for the two magistrates (and a policeman) began.
However, they were heard only as witnesses, and therefore never indicted, in relation to strange encounters with Dr. Savasta in search of a promotion in Rome (which then actually arrived), before the blasting in Italy of PalamaraGate scandal among politicians and kef-wing magistrate plots.

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum has reached out to the camp of Jonas Sultan, the mandatory challenger to Jerwin Ancajas’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) super-flyweight crown for a unique all-Filipino title showdown being eyed for April.
Top Rank promotes Ancajas, who made a smashing US debut over the weekend in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Sultan, the pride and joy of the ALA Boxing Club of Cebu, earned the right to fight for the IBF 115-lb title after upsetting ex-world champion Johnreil Casimero last year.
Magali title shot
Meantime, Orient-Pacific super-featherweight champion Carlo Magali won’t be fighting for a world title after all.
The Games and Amusements Board (GAB) ruled recently that owing to the proximity of Magali’s title defense in Japan to the promised crack at the World Boxing Council on Feb. 10 in Mexico, Magali won’t have enough time to get ready.
Magali last fought on Jan. 13 when he retained his 130-lb throne with a knockout victory.

Handmade Gift Bag
These bag in box projects a have been around for years but I have never got round to making one now.
I was reminded of them when I came across a fellow demonstrators website last week and found she had made a great video tutorial on making them.
So I decided it was now or never.
I used Stampin' Ups designer series paper and the plain card stock in the colour Blushing Bride.
I wasn't too keen on this colour when it first came out but it has grown on me big time.
So be warned there could be many post in this colour.
This bag is so easy to make it's unreal.
If you want to make this bag yourself hop over to Crafty Hallets website. and watch Carolines video.
here 's the link to the tutorial.
My bag looks taller than Caroline's, but it was made to the measurements she gives in her tutorial.

There’s no question whether Ben Daniels has enjoyed his time playing Marcus on Fox’s The Exorcist (running on Syfy in the UK) alongside Alfonso Herrera as Father Tomas. Over the course of a long chat by phone with Paul Simpson now he’s back in the UK, he is constantly enthusiastic about the show, created by Jeremy Slater inspired by the novel by William Peter Blatty…
Spoiler alert: This interview discusses the major twist in the series revealed in episode 5
I was quite surprised you were using your natural voice rather than the English RP we often get in American series. Was that your choice?
It came from [the director of the pilot] Rupert Wyatt. Initially, it was written for a thirty year old American, so I came in completely from a side angle. Rupert Wyatt, Jeremy Slater the creator and Rolin Jones the show runner were like, “he’s the one!” Eventually when I got it, I was having a Skype session with Rupert and he was like, “What’s your accent? I can hear a bit of an accent.” I said I’m from the Midlands. He said, “What’s that like if you push it completely there?” I spoke a few sentences and he said that was perfect. He didn’t want something that sounded southern, he wanted something that sounded a bit older as an accent, that sounded stranger, that had more of a history behind it.
It completely unlocked everything then. I do lots of background and stuff anyway, but it was perfect that I could just set him from Nuneaton, which is where I’m from. He’s very specifically placed.
I had to tone the accent down, though. I was just doing ADR [additional dialogue recording] for ep 9. It was tiny, I had to do three lines. It was a bit of my Midlands accent where they couldn’t understand that “of” meant “off”. There are certain vowel sounds where they go, “I just don’t know what you’re saying”…

In 2018, The plywood manufacturing capacity is set to rise by 25-30 percent thanks to new factories and expansions taking place at various places in North India. Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh shall witness beginning of around 150-200 new units within 2018 which will certainly flood over the market compared to anticipated demand. The pressure on sales will push the market towards “Buyers’ market” hence there will be a drop-in price of finished goods specially after May 2018.
The plywood production capacity in Haryana alone is about to witness an increase of 35 percent during 2018. The numbers will further blow up after freeing up of license in UP, hopefully in January month of 2018 itself. The addition in number of factories in UP will take time but would create a pressure build up on existing establishments involved in distribution and manufacturing.
The small and mid-segment factories will have to spend more to sustain in the growing competition during 2018 and 2019 because of huge flow of plywood, boards and doors in markets. Those who are entering in plywood manufacturing with a notion of decent profit-making sector will confront the reality by 2018 year end.

Interviews & Features
This year’s Patient Experience Week (PX Week) takes place from April 26-30, 2021. It’s a time to celebrate how healthcare staff impact the patient experience, and an opportunity to re-energize the conversation around what constitutes a positive patient experience. Healthcare administrators, clinicians, support staff, and patients are all stakeholders when it comes to the concept of patient experience, and PX Week is a chance to bring them together.
Across the country, certain pockets are experiencing hardship. Almost a quarter of Pennsylvania’s EMS agencies shut down between 2012 and 2018 due to budget and staffing shortfalls. Similar situations have arisen in New York and New Hampshire.
The significance of your data privacy can easily become convoluted in day-to-day life. We have become accustomed to not reading terms agreements when we download a new app or enter a website with cookies. We do it without thinking. But the consequences of your personal data getting into the wrong hands are very real—especially when it comes to data on your personal health.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 413 million Covid-19 tests have been administered in the U.S. as of April 2021, and every day that number rises. But have you ever wondered who is responsible for performing this task?
Demand for medical testing is expected to grow in coming years due to the introduction of new genetic tests to the market and an aging population, but there is a concerning shortage of laboratory professionals plaguing hospitals, doctor’s offices, and labs that is only expected to get worse. We investigate why there aren’t enough laboratory technicians and technologists to go around and what a career in medical laboratory sciences looks like.
Histology, which is the science of cell structure, isn’t at the front of most people’s thoughts. Histotechnology, which focuses on detecting tissue abnormalities and aiding in the diagnosis of disease, is even further removed from the mainstream conversation. Job data from the BLS suggests the field of histotechnology will grow at over double the national rate, pay over the average salary, and continue to offer entry-level jobs that sometimes require only an associate’s degree.
Since the onset of the pandemic, hospitals across the country have experienced staffing shortages among frontline workers, but one profession, in particular, has seen a huge increase in demand: respiratory therapists (RTs) or respiratory care practitioners (RCPs).
It can be too easy, sometimes, to look past the work of a dental assistant. But they represent the largest segment of the dental workforce. This is a fast-growing, patient-facing role that’s much more complex than it seems.
For years, cardiovascular disease has been the number one cause of death in the US, as well as the leading driver of healthcare costs. While medical science has made significant advancements in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease, rising obesity rates and unhealthy lifestyle choices have caused the problem to worsen.
In 2021, there are four relatively high-paying and high-growth medtech careers that may be ideal for introverts: medical and clinical laboratory technology, medical equipment repair, cytotechnology, and pathologist assistance. Each profession includes a discussion of job responsibilities, typical education required, credentialing, expected growth in job openings, and salary prospects.

Riverdale has left us on a midseason cliffhanger over Jughead’s Death.
In episode 9 of season 4 of Riverdale titled ‘Tangerine’ we see a flashback at the end of the episode that shows Jughead wounded badly and bleeding from his head as Archie sits beside him before turning to Betty and yelling, “He’s dead, what did you do Betty?”
However, this season of Riverdale majorly revolves around two things —1) who killed Jughead? 2) and if he is really dead?
Meanwhile, in an unexpected turn of events, we witness Betty, Archie and Veronica being arrested from their biology class by Sheriff FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich) for the spine chilling murder of his son, Jughead but the truth is Jughead maybe faking his own death in Riverdale. Here’s how!
Jughead isn’t dead
According to the recent developments in Jughead’s storyline, the fans are convinced that Jughead isn’t actually dead and that he may be faking his own death. Well, how, you may ask? Indeed this is all linked to the Baxter Brothers mystery books and his new Stonewall Prep assignment that asked him to write ‘the perfect murder.’
And for most fans, well it is way beyond imagination that Betty would kill her own boyfriend Jughead.
The Little Details One Needs To Pay Attention To
In a recent episode, Jug’s dead body was shown lying in the coroner’s office as FP and Betty looked on with minimal levels of upset and distress at his pale and lifeless body, lying on a slab.
Besides, it was not quite the traumatic reaction one would expect from his dad and his girlfriend, leading fans to suspect something was up. Perhaps, a cover-up or a series of staged events.
How It All Started
Jughead meets the original author of the mystery book by the Baxter Brothers Francis J. DuPont at Stonewall Prep. DuPont tells Jug that he wants to hire “young and clever minds” for this job.
In the audition, everybody has to write the first three chapters of the next Baxter Brothers novel and an outline for the rest of it, theme – ‘The Perfect Murder.’ And what better way to do it than to enact it? People presume, Jug is only reenacting the scene of the ‘Perfect Murder’ and will emerge alive in the following episodes to come.
Did Betty actually kill Jughead?
Remember when Polly nearly claws off the face of a nurse named Betty, she swears to her sister that she doesn’t remember anything that just happened.
The real Betty (Lili Reinhart) then finds out that Polly got a call from someone before that freak scene, and when the house phone rings, Alice answers. Minutes later, Alice tries to stab Betty.
Fortunately, Betty figures out that her mom is in a trance and snaps her fingers to get her out of her hypnotic state.
Meanwhile, Charles tracks the phone calls to Shankshaw prison, which also turns to be the home of Evelyn. However, Betty pays her a visit and learns that with a simple magic spell, Alice and Polly became Betty, with the motive to kill the evil Betty. What’s that trigger word? “Tangerine,” said 3 times. (much like “Bloody Mary” of 2019.)
However, Betty, unsure of what kind of impact the words will have on her, asks Charles to say it, after which she goes into a deep state of trance where she can imagine her younger self from the day she kills her cat.
Following, Betty goes into hypnotism and stops her younger self from murdering her cat with a rock. All of a sudden Betty wakes up in the middle of the night and shatters her bedroom mirror.
The scene moves to four weeks ahead in the future and Betty is holding the same rock standing near dead Jughead as Archie checks his pulse and says, “He’s dead. What did you do, Betty?!”

As favourable as the idea sounds that Dark Betty could kill the man she loves, it is also very unlikely for her to do so as he is the love of her life.
Moreover, Riverdale returns with episode 10, titled ‘Varsity Blues’ on January 22nd, 2020. So, until then, we guess we just have to wait and anticipate what the next flash-forward brings.

PIQUA — The City of Piqua takes great pride in keeping our town a beautiful place to call home.
Spearheading the effort every summer is a group of young adults — high school and college students — who spend their summer earning money while building job experience and their resume’.
This summer, 45 students, mostly from Piqua but also from other county school districts, are being employed as “part-time seasonal” help by the city. The workers can be found doing everything from mowing and weeding to life guarding and working at the concession stand at the Piqua pool.
Student employees are hired to be responsible young adults who not only work along side full-time employees but also independently.
City of Piqua Human Resources Director Catherine Bogan said that part-time seasonal staff workers learn much more than how to do a variety of jobs. “The have to show up for a schedule.The have to work weekends. They have to show up for a shift at 6 a.m. so it builds a lot of good core characteristics for an employee that HR people like to see, that you have that ‘good work ethic’. When you are young and are committed to working every summer with the same employer, I would definitely see that as ‘oh wow!’
Ages for part-time summer employment range from 15-16 for concession workers and lifeguards to college students who typically work for the parks or water department. The older employees may find themselves operating weed trimmers and lawn mowers, including the large zero-turn-radius mowers.
As part-time seasonal workers, students are not eligible for benefits, although they do earn their paycheck. A benefit that seasonal workers are getting, but may not realize, is that, as city employees, they are enrolled in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System. “They are actively paying into OPERS. If you are a state, county, municipal employee, we are all part of that OPERS system,” said Bogan, “They may not realize it yet, but if they stay in government or the public sector, they are earning time now that will help them retire sooner.”
The City of Piqua has been employing part-time seasonal help for more than two decades. With a total work force of around 200 full-time employees, the student summer workers add an additional nearly 20 percent to the work force, allowing the city and its various departments to get needed work done that it could not do without the extra help.
Another benefit to everyone from the program, according to Bogan, “It gives a greater sense of community. I think it’s neat when the kids see how their local government works. I think it’s neat for their parents and the citizens to see that our kids are invested in our community. We have kids out there making streets safe, making sure that the city is beautified, keeping your kids safe at the pool, supporting your recreational activities in the City of Piqua.”
“If we didn’t have all of those kids,” said Bogan,”supporting those kind of ancillary seasonal functions, because golf, pool, you know, all that is not year-round. So, we make those functions happen with these kids. If we didn’t have the seasonal kind of safety net, I don’t know that we could open the pool. It’s a win-win. It’s benefiting the kids who are working there, but it’s benefiting our community greatly by making some of these attractions that we enjoy, available and open.
Some part-time seasonal employees see more than “just” summer employment opportunities. Chase Gambill, a Bradford High School graduate who is in his second year at Hocking College is working to attain his Class 1 Water Operations License and hopes to return to Piqua as a full-time employee after graduation from college.
Piqua High School graduate Brandon Hohlbein attends Wright State University and is in his fourth season with the City of Piqua.
A number of other student workers are in their first year and all expressed love for what they have been given the opportunity to do, and hope to return to their job next summer.
City of Piqua employee Ben Gover is a shining example of a part-time seasonal employee whose hard work and dedication leads to a career with the city.
Most everyone who ventures through Piqua has seen Gover, happily hard at work on a project and always ready with a greeting and smile.
Gover graduated from Piqua High School in 2008. In 2011 he applied for, and was accepted, as part-time seasonal help. “Originally, I was supposed to go to water,” said Gover, “but they thought that I would be better suited for parks with my landscaping background and mowing experience.”
Gover worked two seasons as part-time before being hired on as full-time.
When asked about giving advice for those wishing to follow in h is footsteps, Gover said, “Dedication, getting your CDL (Commercial Driver’s License), taking the initiative.”
For Gover, working for the city is a dream come true. “I love it. I’m a very ‘people person’, said Gover, ” I don’t know a stranger and this is right up my alley. It’s something different every day. I love that aspect. One day running the paver and the next day mowing grass.”
Those jobs, along with plowing snow, leaf removal, hanging banners and Christmas lights, as just a few of the many jobs where the citizens of Piqua might find Gover. “Its endless,” said Gover, ” and for me, that’s perfect.”

223 F2d 413 Albanese D'Imperio v. Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico
223 F.2d 413
Santiago ALBANESE D'IMPERIO, Plaintiff, Appellant,
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY OF PUERTO RICO, Defendant, Appellee.
United States Court of Appeals First Circuit.
June 6, 1955.
Orlando J. Antonsanti, San Juan, Puerto Rico, for appellant.
Manuel J. Medina Aymat, Asst. Atty. Gen., with whom Jose Trias Monge, Atty. Gen., was on brief, for appellee.
Before MAGRUDER, Chief Judge, and MARIS* and WOODBURY, Circuit judges.
WOODBURY, Circuit Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico affirming a judgment of the Superior Court of Puerto Rico, San Juan Part, which sustained administrative action resulting in the assessment of a deficiency in income tax against the appellant for the calendar year 1949. Our appellate jurisdiction under Title 28 U.S.C. § 1293 is clear, for the appellant contends in this court as he did in both insular courts that § 24(b) of the Income Tax Act of Puerto Rico, quoted in the margin,1 as applied to him, deprives him of his property without due process of law in violation of the Constitution of the United States,2 as well as in violation of Art. II, § 7 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, 48 U.S.C.A. § 731d note, and § 2 of the Organic Act of March 2, 1917, known as the Jones Act. 39 Stat. 951, 48 U.S.C.A. § 737.
The case is presented to us on an agreed statement of facts which can be briefly summarized. In January 1949, the appellant, a widower, and Iris de Juan, a widow, both with minor children born of their previous marriages, entered into an antenuptial agreement pursuant to the provisions of Book Fourth, Title III, Chapter I of the Civil Code of Puerto Rico, 1930 ed., the pertinent sections of which are quoted in the margin.3 They included in the agreement a complete inventory of all their respective properties and by the agreement they undertook to effect a complete separation, not only of the property each then owned, but also of all property each might acquire in the future. Furthermore, in clause 6 they provided: 'The parties hereby make known that having excluded from the marriage they are about to contract, the regime of the legal conjugal partnership (regimen de la sociedad legal de gananciales), the property that during the marriage each spouse shall acquire, shall be and become the property of each in absolute dominium.'
The parties married on January 27, 1949 in accordance with their agreement, and in reporting their income for that year each filed a separate return and each paid a tax calculated on his and her respective income. The Secretary of the Treasury, however, look the position that § 24(b) of the Income Tax Act quoted above applied in spite of the antenuptial agreement. He, therefore, ruled that the appellant should have reported both his and his wife's income in a single joint return and paid a tax calculated on the total taxable income of both. Therefore the Secretary assessed a deficiency against the appellant in the amount of the difference between the tax due on his and his wife's combined income and the tax actually paid by the appellant on his own personal income. The appellant contested the assessment of his deficiency through the administrative remedies provided by local law and on up through the Puerto Rican courts wherein, as already pointed out, he raised the same federal constitutional question he presents on this appeal.
Basically the appellant's contention is that the antenuptial agreement between himself and his wife is clearly valid under local law (indeed, he says that there is not even an iota of evidence that its purpose was to avoid taxes or that it was in any respect a sham or subterfuge) and that, by its clear terms, the agreement effected a complete separation not only of the properties but also of the incomes of the spouses. Wherefore he says that to require him to pay a tax on his and his wife's combined income is to require him to pay a tax measured by the income of another which the Supreme Court held in Hoeper v. Tax Commission, 1931, 284 U.S. 206, 52 S.Ct. 120, 76 L.Ed. 248, violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, relying heavily on its opinion in Ballester v. Court of Tax Appeals, 61 P.R.R. 460 (1943), rejected this contention.
Although the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, by direct inheritance of the law of Spain, has always had a legal community property system, see Chapter IV of Title III, Book Fourth of the Civil Code of Puerto Rico, 1930 ed., the court in Ballester v. Court of Tax Appeals, supra, held that under its system of community property the wife did not have a 'vested interest' in income earned by the husband or produced by community property. Wherefore it found Hoeper v. Tax Commission, supra, readily distinguishable and held that under the rule of United States v. Robbins, 1936, 269 U.S. 315, 46 S.Ct. 148, 70 L.Ed. 285, there was no constitutional impediment ot applying § 24(b) of the Income Tax Act to require a husband to report and pay the income tax on the entire net income of the conjugal partnership. This court affirmed. Ballester-Ripoll v. Court of Tax Appeals, 1 Cir., 1944, 142 F.2d 11, certiorari denied, 1944, 323 U.S. 723, 65 S.Ct. 55, 89 L.Ed. 581.
The Ballester case does not rule this one, for the spouses in that case married under the traditional community property system and the taxpayer's position was that as an incident of that system one half of the income of the community 'vested' in the wife and so could not constitutionally be taxed to him under the rule of Poe v. Seaborn, 1930, 282 U.S. 101, 51 S.Ct. 58, 75 L.Ed. 239. In the case at bar, however, the spouses married in accordance with an antenuptial agreement excluding 'the regime of the legal conjugal partnership' and providing for a complete and final separation of their respective properties and incomes, and the taxpayer relies upon the terms of that agreement to effect the separation of his and his wife's respective incomes for income tax purposes. Nevertheless, we agree with the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico that the result reached in the Ballester case must also be reached in this one.
Certainly there is nothing in Hoeper v. Tax Commission, supra, if that case still speaks with authority, see Ballester v. Descartes, 1 Cir., 1950, 181 F.2d 823, 829, to indicate the existence of any constitutional limitation on the power of the Legislature of Puerto Rico, or for that matter of a State in the federal union, to enact legislation forbidding spouses from thereafter escaping the normal income tax consequences of their marital relationship by contractual arrangements entered into either before or after their marriage. And we think the local statutes have precisely this effect.
The reason for our conclusion can be briefly stated. It is that § 1268 of the Civil Code, quoted in footnote 3 supra, specifically provides that the parties to antenuptial contracts 'can not stipulate anything contrary to law,' and if they do, that provision of their contract 'shall be considered void,' and § 24(b) of the Income Tax Act, making a husband and wife living together a unit for income tax purposes had been the 'law' in Puerto Rico for some nine years before the appellant and his wife entered into their antenuptial agreement. Thus, while their antenuptial agreement is no doubt valid under local law for many purposes, we do not think that local law permits it to have any validity as a device to divide their respective incomes for income tax purposes. And, as we have said, we are not aware of any constitutional limitation on the power of the Legislature to forbid, at least prospectively, contracts between a husband and wife altering the normal income tax consequences of their marriage.
The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico was not concerned, nor are we, with the question whether the same result would be reached with respect to an antenuptial agreement like the present which had been entered into prior to the enactment of § 24(b) of the Income Tax Act. We express no opinion on that question.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico is affirmed.
* By special designation.
1 Act No. 74 of August 6, 1925 as amended by Act No. 31 of April 12, 1941, effective January 1, 1940.
'If a husband and wife living together have a net income for the taxable year of $2,000 or over, or an aggregate gross income for such year of $5,000 or over, the total income of both shall be included in a single joint return, and the normal and additional tax shall be computed on the aggregate income. The net or gross income received by anyone of the spouses shall not be divided between them.'
2 In this case as in Mora v. Mejias, 1 Cir., 1953, 206 F.2d 377, 382, we do not find it necessary to decide whether the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment or that of the Fourteenth Amendment is applicable for: 'The restraint imposed upon (tax) legislation by the due process clauses of the two amendments is the same.' Heiner v. Donnan, 1932, 285 U.S. 312, 326, 52 S.Ct. 358, 361, 76 L.Ed. 772.
3 'Section 1267.-- Persons who may be joined in matrimony may, before celebrating it, execute contracts, stipulating the conditions for the conjugal partnership with regard to present and future property, without any other limitations than those mentioned in this Code.
'In the absence of contracts relating to property it shall be understood that the marriage has been contracted under the system of legal conjugal partnership.
'Section 1268.-- In the contracts referred to in the preceding section the contracting parties can not stipulate anything contrary to law or morality, nor humiliating to the authority within the family pertaining respectively to the future spouses.
'All stipulations not in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be considered void.'

I'm writing this post on Christmas eve day. It's the calm before the storm, before the food, the gifts, the drinks and merry making. By the time you read this it'll be Boxing Day. I thought it might be appropriate to make some little take-away boxes. A frilly little vessel to tuck left over Christmas cookies in and send holiday guests on their merry way.
I've simply covered some small kraft boxes in music paper and lined them with tissue as my base. A top that, White Lace Trim and White French Lace are added. Finally, some paper butterflies, baubles and a large satin flower finish them off.
Now fill those wee boxes with small treats made with love, to enjoy and make the season linger just a little longer.
