We are very happy to welcome Rebeca Pallarés Vega (Palencia, Spain) who has joined the GrahAM research group as a Research Assistant to study the dynamics of plasmid transfer in Indian rivers on our AMRflows project. Rebeca studied a BSc in Biology at the University of Salamanca (Spain) and then to pursued an MSc in Advances and Research in Microbiology at the University of Granada (Spain). During her MSc, Rebeca did an internship in 2015 at the water research centre, Wetsus, in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. This was when she became acquainted with antimicrobial resistance, and during her nine-month project, she studied resistant genetic profiles of bacteria isolated from hospital wastewater.
After completing her internship, Rebeca was granted a PhD position at TU Delft and Wetsus in collaboration with industrial stakeholders and water authorities. During her PhD, Rebeca focused on evaluating the presence and removal of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater and biosolids. Her main goal was to identify the role of wastewater system design, operational parameters, and abiotic factors (i.e., rainfall) on ARG removal dynamics. Rebeca also studied different conditions that might influence the spread of ARGs through the conjugal transfer of plasmids using in vitro and in situ experimental set-ups at the University of Copenhagen with the group of Professor Søren Sørensen.
In 2020, Rebeca joined the EU2020 project REPARES on behalf of Wetsus. There, she worked in method standardization and transfer across the consortium partners. We are very happy for Rebeca to join our group because her background fits perfectly into AMRflows, but our other work, such as wastewater-based epidemiology.
You can now watch the Wetsus webinar AMR in wastewater, determinants and removal online here. Prof David W Graham is one of three invited speakers in the webinar, along with Rebeca Pallares Vega and Dr Maarten Nederlof.
We want to strongly commend the manuscript Environmental antimicrobial resistance is associated with faecal pollution in Central Thailand’s coastal aquaculture region recently released in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. It is from a very interesting project led by Professor David Werner, Newcastle University, which studied the main drivers of environmental AMR spread in Central Thailand using HT-qPCR and MinION NGS. The work was in collaboration with partners at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in Thailand and the Institute of Urban Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The Graham Group contributed to the analysis and interpretation of AR gene data on the aquaculture ponds and local rivers, which corroborated that polluted rivers were contaminating the ponds, not the other way around. See more about on the clean water research being done by Professor Werner’s team on their blog. Additionally, see the Newcastle University’s press release about the work here.
Prof David W Graham will be giving a public talk on AMR prevalence and monitoring in wastewater systems on 25 March 2021 is part the Wetsus REPARES network, supported by STOWA in the theme source separated sanitation. The Webinar starts at 15:30 (Netherlands) / 14:30 (UK) time and last about 90 minutes. This webinar is called “AMR in wastewater – determinants and removal” has three invited speakers, including David Graham, Dr Maarten Nederlof, and Rebeca Pallares Vega (soon to join our group in Newcastle). Drs Heike Schmitt and Lucia Hernandez will host the webinar. Talks are available online here.

Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Syed Naveed Qamar said that the decision to restore Hyderabad to its earlier status as a single district has not been taken as yet. He said that MQM's reaction to the proposals is premature.
Speaking to the media at his residence in Hyderabad, Naveed Qamar said that the restoration of the district to its previous status is a long held demand of the people.
He stressed that former President Pervez Musharraf's decision to divide the district was absolutely unjust and did not even comply with legal requirements at the time.
Naveed Qamar said that the Pakistan Peoples Party always takes on board sentiments of locals and alliance partners when making such a decision.
The party in this case, he said, will follow its tradition of negotiations and move ahead after consensus is forged between the two parties.

A few weeks ago, we held a Craft Party and created spirited Burlap Flags for the start of the college football season. Georgia and I created the flags beforehand so the party participants could focus on the fun part of decorating. The flags were very simple to make and mimic the same process as our Dog Collar Bound Bandanas.
We created our flags with burlap purchased from JoAnn’s and used an old garden flag as our template to trace a pattern. When tracing the pattern, we added about 2 inches to the top of the flag. Later, we folded used the extra length to create a rod pocket for our flag pole. To give the flag a little more weight, we cut two pieces of burlap and stitched them together.
For sewing the burlap pieces together, we used a 3/8″ seam stitch and left the top open.
Afterwards, we used the open top to flip the flag right side out.
Next, we used a hot iron to press the seams down and then folded over our top piece to create our rod pocket. After ironing, we simply stitched a seam across the flag to hold the pocket in place.
We were ready to start painting our favorite team logos. Of course, you could add a monogram, seasonal or holiday items, etc. If you decided to make a Burlap Flag, please share your ideas and creations with us!

The Gambia Press Union (GPU) strongly condemns the attack on Foroyaa reporter, Kebba Jeffang, and demands that the government of President Adama Barrow bring the perpetrators to book.
On Sunday March 05, Mr Jeffang came under physical and verbal assault from supporters of the United Democratic Party (UDP), Gambia Moral Congress (GMC) and National Reconciliation Party (NRP). This was at the UDP’s Manjai Bureau, during a press conference, jointly organised by the three parties.
The accounts of several journalists that were at the scene of the attack suggest that the hall was crowded by party supporters who constantly harassed and intimidated journalists.
Kebba said: “After the statements from Ousainou Darboe, Hamat Bah and Mai Ahmad Fatty, the leaders of the UDP, NRP and GMC, respectively, I was the first to ask two questions directed at —- – and —-. My introduction as a reporter for Foroyaa Newspaper invited harassment and interruption from party supporters.
“At the end of the press conference, while I was still in the room directly opposite Mr. Darboe who was at that time with Mr. Bah and Mr. Fatty, a young man approached me from behind and uttered the following: “’Why not go Halifa Sallah and ask him?’…He followed that with insults.
This confrontation happened right in the presence of the three leaders. More supporters came in a group, clearly ready to attack me. “They hit me and in the process torn up my shirt. I suffered internal shoulder pains afterwards.”
The attack on Mr Jeffang is both regrettable and unfortunate and should not have happened. The attack perpetuated by parties who form part of the government that promised a new dawn of freedom for the press corp in the Gambia. It is a violation of constitutional provisions that guarantee the freedom and independence of the media and failure to adequately address it will tantamount to impunity.
President Adama Barrow has repeatedly reassured journalists and the public of his government’s commitment to the protection and promotion of freedom of speech, in particular press freedom. Now is the time for him to put words to action by publicly condemning the unwarranted conduct that threatens and dents his government’s outlook as a democracy.
The GPU is committed to engaging the leadership of UDP, NRP and GMC, to restrain their supporters, and compensate Mr Jeffang for the damages incurred.
We particularly call on the Minister for Interior to help facilitate swift investigation into the matter. Justice should be served.
We demand further that the concerned parties come out and publicly condemn the attack on the journalist and offer an unreserved apology. It is our considered stance that henceforth, press conferences by political parties should be exclusively for journalists so that party supporters do not interfere thereby disrupting the process.

"Buy mysoline on line, medications 7".
By: W. Ramon, M.A., Ph.D.
Program Director, University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson
If the feces is older than 10 minutes old the trophozoites (active forms) is probably not recognizable because the parasites will begin to kind a cyst which could be more difficult to determine 7 medications emts can give buy mysoline 250mg without a prescription. Multiple contemporary samples may have to symptoms webmd purchase discount mysoline be run as a result of treatment erectile dysfunction order mysoline 250 mg with mastercard intermittent shedding of trophs and cysts symptoms 8 days after ovulation order mysoline amex. Relapses are frequent after treatment either from endogenous Giardia or exposure to environmental reservoirs. Pass unsporulated (undeveloped) oocysts (like an egg), less than 45 microns in size. Infections in mynahs and toucans rarely medical except careworn in crowded unsanitary situations. Hemoparasites (Blood Parasites) Haemoproteus Normally thought of non-pathogenic however is a generally occurring avian blood parasite, particularly in imported cockatoos, pigeons and different wild birds. Up to 50% of newly imported cockatoos were discovered to be constructive, whereas solely 5% of long term captive birds were constructive. Clinical signs, if they occur, embody splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). High parasitemia (parasites in blood) could cause medical problems if the chook is careworn or immunocompromised. Young are prone, up to eighty% mortality in juvenile birds between 2-9 months of age. Parasite has asexual reproductive cycle (parasite merely divides to produce more) in mononuclear cells (particular sort of white blood cells concerned in physique protection against an infection) then spreads by way of blood to parenchymal organs (corresponding to liver and spleen). Clinical signs are non-particular, melancholy, anorexia, diarrhea, enlarged liver and dilated intestine loops (which may be visualized by way of pores and skin). Diagnosis by way of identification of oocysts in feces, 20 microns, or most frequently histopathologically. Primaquine to suppress the tissue kind, sulfachlor-pyrazine may lower oocyst shedding. Sarcocystis Coccidian parasite that undergoes sexual multiplication in definitive host (opossum), passes oocysts in feces that are picked up by intermediate host, corresponding to chook. The parasite then undergoes asexual replica, and spreads by way of the bloodstream and encysts, usually in striated (skeletal) and cardiac muscle. It is restricted to North America and has been related to acute demise in a variety of psittacines. Infections are peracute(sudden) and birds usually die before sarcocysts (that are seen to the naked eye) develop in the muscle. Most frequent in finches, African greys (15-20% of imported birds), cockatoos (10-20% of imported birds) and Eclectus parrots. No direct correlation between eosinophilia (improve in eosinophils in blood that are a sort of white blood cell which characteristically will increase in parasitic infections) and parasitism. Generally infections are non-pathogenic, although massive numbers of worms could cause impaction. With severe an infection, birds may die following a period of weight loss and diarrhea. Diagnosis is by identification of proglottids (tapeworm segments) or whole worms in three feces. Individual eggs is probably not famous in routine fecal samples except proglottid in feces has ruptured. Treatment - Fenbendazole, Praziquantel, Ivermectin may be utilized in combination with one of the aforementioned medication. Roundworms Most frequent parasites found in birds maintained in enclosures with entry to ground. Eggs require 2-three week period for embryonated larvae to kind in egg and turn into infective. It is theorized that roundworm larvae may encyst in tissue (like canines/cats) and stress may trigger cysts to activate. Periodically take a look at birds that have tested constructive for roundworms and periodically worm any outdoor breeding flock. Clinical signs with severe infestation may embody, distended stomach, weight loss, diarrhea, malabsorption, intussusception (telescoping of a portion of the intestinal tract), blockage and demise. Baylisascaris procyonis (raccoon roundworm) Has triggered cerebrospinal nematodiasis (roundworms in the brain or spinal wire) from migratory larvae. The egg hatches in the intestinal tract and the larvae goes by way of an compulsory migration by way of the physique during growth before it results in the gut as an grownup.
This was conservatively handled with rest symptoms xanax abuse order generic mysoline on line, gentle food regimen symptoms 24 hour flu purchase mysoline 250mg free shipping, and anti inflammatory medicines treatment 5th metatarsal stress fracture purchase discount mysoline on-line. Severe signs subsided treatment 4 addiction mysoline 250 mg cheap, but the patient continued to complain of persistent "aching of the left jaw. Active vary of motion of the mandible had increased from forty one to 47 mm, and the joint was nontender to palpation. Trigger factors in this part of the masseter muscle have additionally been reported to cause unilateral tinnitus55 and accounted for the high-pitched sound the patient complained of with clenching. Treatment have to be directed at rehabilitating the masseter muscle and not at the asymptomatic joint. Figure 8-33 Deep layer, higher part of the masseter muscle refers pain to the temporomandibular joint area and ear. Systematic fingertip examination of suspected muscle tissue and their contralateral counterparts, looking for taut bands and focal tenderness, is important. Depending on the muscle, the tip of the index finger ought to be used for flat palpation or the index finger and thumb for pincer-sort palpation (Figure 8-35). Once a TrP is discovered, 2 to four kg/cm2 of pressure ought to be utilized for 6 to 10 seconds to elicit the referred pain pattern, if any. If uncertainty exists, particular TrP therapies, corresponding to "spray and stretch" or TrP injections, described below, may be used diagnostically. All head and neck muscle tissue ought to be routinely examined in sufferers with a persistent pain criticism. Therapeutic techniques corresponding to "spray and stretch," voluntary contract- 344 Endodontics A B Figure 8-35 Muscle palpation for myofascial trigger factors. A, "Flat" fingertip palpation of masseter muscle looking for taut bands and focal tenderness characteristic of myofascial trigger factors. The flat palpation approach can be helpful for temporalis, suboccipital, medial pterygoid, and higher again muscle tissue. B, "Pincer" palpation of the deep clavicular head of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Myofascial TrP therapists are particularly adept at TrP examination, spray and stretch, and TrP pressure launch techniques. Perpetuating elements most commonly include mechanical elements that place an increased load on the muscle tissue. Teaching sufferers good posture and body mechanics will go a good distance in decreasing referred pain from myofascial TrPs, particularly in the head and neck region. Simple stress administration and relaxation skills are invaluable in controlling involuntary muscle pressure if this is a problem. Mild melancholy and sleep disturbance can be handled with low doses of tricyclic antidepressant medicine and a structured exercise/activation program. Other perpetuating elements include metabolic, endocrine, or nutritional inadequacies that affect muscle metabolism. Spray and stretch is a highly successful approach for the treatment of myofascial TrPs that makes use of a vapocoolant spray (Gebbauer, Co. Muscle stretching has been shown to cut back the depth of referred pain and TrP sensitivity in sufferers with myofascial pain. This approach and alternate options not utilizing vapocoolant are described in detail in Simons et al. Longer-performing amide native anesthetics or native anesthetics containing epinephrine cause everlasting muscle harm. They last 20 minutes to 7 days when episodic and may be daily without remission when persistent. Studies have documented the presence of focally tender factors and referred pain in this sort of headache. Myofascial TrP pain is clearly under-acknowledged,301,302 and trigeminal neuropathies or "dysesthesias," which many consider to be at fault for varied "atypical" facial pains, are still inadequately understood. Two kinds of atypical pain that commonly seem in the dental office are atypical odontalgia (idiopathic toothache, phantom odontalgia,303 or trigeminal dysesthesia) and burning mouth syndrome (Table 8-14). Although deafferentation (neuropathic pain) is believed to play a job in both of these pain syndromes, the mechanism and etiology are still largely speculative. Atypical Odontalgia In 1979, Rees and Harris described a disorder they known as atypical odontalgia.
Other chronic problems embody cognitive decline symptoms when pregnant order mysoline 250mg with amex, sexual dysfunction symptoms quitting weed buy cheapest mysoline, nervousness medicine daughter purchase mysoline 250 mg line, and sleep disorders medicine expiration order mysoline 250 mg fast delivery. Make a medical diagnosis for the reason for pain and accurately define its location. Always contemplate most cancers recurrence or secondary malignancy in the differential diagnosis. Follow the suggestions for treating chronic non-most cancers pain once most cancers recurrence has been ruled out because the supply of pain. Encourage the use of non-pharmacologic therapies with a concentrate on rehabilitation and pain management. This may embody a graduated train program, bodily remedy, thermal remedy, complementary and various measures, and counseling to assist with nervousness, despair, and coping (Non-opioid Options). Use an individualized strategy to pain management, paying particular attention to those who are hypervigilant about their body sensations and will current with frequent reviews of recent symptoms. Reassure and redirect them after a radical evaluation of the pain criticism, and session with the oncologist as acceptable. Encourage survivors to actively engage in their pain management plan and to explore options to take part in assist teams. An important part to that is for the clinician to present an in depth rationalization to the patient on the trigger or causes of the pain criticism. Interagency Guideline on Prescribing Opioids for Pain [06-2015] 50 During active most cancers remedy, sufferers may have been accustomed to incessantly changing and/or escalating opioid doses with any criticism of worsening pain depth. Significant education is required to help the patient and caregiver to understand this new strategy. Certain pharmacological therapies could cause lasting pain problems throughout use, for example, aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole which might be used to forestall recurrence of breast most cancers and are taken for variable intervals (2-10 years) after finishing initial remedy. Nearly half of ladies using these brokers may expertise myalgias and arthralgias, 313 which can be of sufficient severity that 21-38% of sufferers abandon this probably life-saving remedy 314 (Table eleven). Interagency Guideline on Prescribing Opioids for Pain [06-2015] fifty one Chronic most cancers-associated pain in the survivor can improve significantly with a variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. Pain therapies in the survivor ought to be modeled after chronic non-most cancers pain methods, somewhat than palliative therapies. In most sufferers, the primary goal of remedy is practical improvement somewhat than exclusively a reduction in pain depth. Topical brokers, such as lidocaine 5% patch, capsaicin cream, or diclofenac gel could also be useful for some post-surgical pain syndromes of cutaneous or myofascial origin. Physical remedy, rehabilitation, and graded train packages will assist reverse deconditioning and practical loss commonly skilled throughout most cancers remedy. Specialized remedy such as guide lymphatic drainage for lymphedema will improve discomfort from swelling. Counseling for nervousness, despair, and pervasive worry of most cancers recurrence is useful; as is mindfulness coaching and different cognitive behavioral methods to scale back pain. Sleep hygiene education is important for pain management, as sleep disruption is widespread in this population. All new or worsening pain in the most cancers survivor must be promptly evaluated to remove the potential of most cancers recurrence because the supply of pain. Recurrent or Secondary Malignancy Most survivors struggle with a worry of most cancers recurrence, and are properly aware that pain could also be an initial symptom. Extensive emotional assist could also be wanted, and formal counseling with supportive providers could also be required to help with nervousness associated to the potential for most cancers recurrence. Signs and Symptoms Associated with Recurrence of Malignancy New or worsening pain Unexplained and unintentional weight loss of 10 pounds (four. The most common disease varieties where this will happen are lung, breast and prostate most cancers. Because of its brief half-life, hydromorphone is an effective selection in older adults with renal impairment. Metabolites may accumulate in sufferers with impaired renal or hepatic perform leading to prolonged effects and toxicity.

The city of Jerusalem has planned a pilot program to reuse water from mikvaot (ritual baths). The water from each mikva will be purified daily and returned by the next morning.
Jerusalem municipal officials are working with the Health Ministry and the Religious Affairs council to assure that the project will be conducted in accordance with health standards as well as halakhah (Jewish Law). Municipal official Yitzchak Hanou, head of the municipality's Religious Structures Branch, explained to Israel National News that Halakhically, mikvaot must have a minimum amount of rainwater, while the rest can be "drawn" water that "touches" the rainwater. "The recycled water that will be streamed back into the mikvah will be no different in that respect than the other 'drawn' water," he said.
There are 35 buildings with mikvaot in Jerusalem, and most of them have multiple mikvaot. Each mikvah contains many dozens of liters of water, and the water is replaced each day. Recycling the mikva water could save thousands of liters of water each year, which would also save money from the municipal budget.
The Finance Committee is expected to approve the project in the near future. The pilot will cost 200,000 shekels to put into effect, and the first mikvah to be fitted with the water recycling network will be in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood in northern Jerusalem.
Men are not required to immerse in a mikvah (other than before Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur), but many often do so - daily, only on Sabbath eve, or on other occasions - in accordance with custom. Married women, however, are required to immerse approximately once a month, to purify themselves of the "niddah" of the menstrual cycle. Statistics for 2008 show that women's mikvaot in Jerusalem were used 180,000 times in the course of the year.
Hanou said that if the new project succeeds, it will have a dramatic impact. “As the pilot is expanded to more mikvaot," he said, "it will become less expensive, it will save a significant amount of water, and will make Jerusalem a positive example for cities throughout the country," he said.
Jerusalem mikvaot do not used special filters, Hanou said. "Some of them are Halakhically OK, and some are not," he said, "but we follow the rabbinic ruling not to use them at all, so as not to cause confusion. This is why the mikvah water must be replaced each day - and why our new system is so important."
In addition to the city's 35 mikvaot, two more are under construction - in Ramat Beit HaKerem and the Old City - and construction on two others is about to begin, in Har Nof and Arnona. Work on a second mikvah in Har Homa is set to begin in six months' time.

Police in Kabwe have been forced to release journalist Wilson Pondamali by a magistrate court.
Mpondamali, who was discharged from Kabwe General Hospital on Wednesday and returned to a holding cell, was being detained for allegedly having links to the news website Zambian Watchdog.
The police intended to keep him in detention and refused to give him police bond. But his lawyers went to court and obtained a second bail. The police ignored the first bail he was given two weeks ago before he collapsed in prison.
Even in court, the police tried their best through the state prosecutor to oppose his being granted bail. The police argued that he was flight risk and should therefore be detained. But the magistrate disagreed withe police and ordered that they release him immediately.
He was released from police around 19 hours but is due to appear in court today on the charge of malicious damage to property and attempting to escape from lawful custody.
Meanwhile, the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) has condemned the harassment and persecution of Wilson Mpondamali and the general decline of media freedom in Zambia.
In a communiqué signed by all the regional heads, chairperson Anthony Kasunda said the body had observed with dismay the slowly deteriorating media freedom environment in Zambia that had seen the strangulation of online media.
“…we strongly condemn the continued detention of Wilson Pondamali. We demand his immediate release to allow the legal process to take its course,” Kasunda said.
“We have further noted that a number of processes to enact access to information laws have stalled in the region. We therefore call on the governments of Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zambia to expedite the adoption of access to information laws without further delay. We urge the government of Namibia to begin the process.”
The gathering noted that rather than criminalize online media the government needed to engage the cyber journalists to find common ground.
“Recent events across the region point to increased threats to freedom of expression in cyberspace.” Kasunda stated.
”These include the blocking of websites in Zambia, the banning of bulk SMS services in Zimbabwe, and the introduction of legislation seeking to impose restrictions online in the region.”
He said, “We condemn, in the strongest terms, efforts aimed at inhibiting freedom of expression and access to information through ICT platforms.”

Skip to comments.Shoulder fired heat seeking missiles missing from multiple Libyan stockpiles
Posted on 09/08/2011 12:53:06 PM PDT by Starman417
It can't come as a big surprise to find that multiple Libyan munitions stockpiles have been looted, and shoulder fired heat seeking missiles, such as the SA-7b Grail, are unaccounted for. While one concern would be that bad-guy-in-hiding, Gaddafi, may have absconded a few for personal revenge, analysists tend to think the weaponry is not in the hands of Gaddafi or his loyalists.
Western governments and nongovernment organizations have repeatedly asked and prodded the rebel government, the Transitional National Council, to take steps to secure the vast stockpiles of arms that it has inherited, apparently to little avail.
Claims that depots holding Manpads and other dangerous weapons are still not being properly secured are very worrisome and should be thoroughly investigated, Mr. Schroeder said. In cases where stockpile security is found to be lacking, immediate steps should be taken to correct any deficiencies.
In Washington, President Obamas top counterterrorism official, John O. Brennan, said that the spread of shoulder-fired missiles and other weapons from Libyas arsenal posed a lot of concerns, and that the United States had pressed the rebel government to secure weapons stockpiles. Obviously, there are a lot of parts of that country right now that are ungoverned, he said at a security conference.
A senior American military officer who follows Libya closely said it was puzzling that there had been so few documented instances in which Libyan loyalist troops launched shoulder-fired missiles at NATO aircraft. Im not sure what that means, the officer said. Fewer systems than we thought? Systems are inoperable? Few in Libya know how to operate them?
Instead, military analysts are assuming they are in the hands of AQ or other extremist groups... either directly looted, or perhaps sold by rogue rebels.
Twenty crates from Russia were also found, with one of the crates labeled as containing 9M342, the Russian designation for the SA-24 heat-seeking missile.... a powerful weapon that Venezuela has also been busy acquiring.
The Igla-S (SA-24) is Russia's most advanced MANPADS and considered one of the most lethal portable air defense systems ever made. Starting in 2005 the US Government raised its concerns with the Government of Russia (GOR) about the Government of Venezuela's (GOV) possible acquisition of MANPADS and other conventional weapons. In particular, the US highlighted the risk these could be diverted to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) or other regional terrorists and non-state actors.
SA-24s were spotted by NATO as far back as March. While Libya is in possession of two-missile Strelets system (designed for mounting on platforms like armored vehicles, helicopters and ships, the missiles themselves cannot be used as MANPADS, according to an Aviation Week defense blog. The company who admitted selling the truck mounted SA-24 Grinch to both Libya and Syria stated the weapons required separate trigger mechanisms for use as MANPADS, and these were not supplied to Libya.

Exactly what Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat wanted.
I started to get worried these might fall into the wrong hands and then I saw this,”separate trigger mechanisms for use as MANPADS, and these were not supplied to Libya.” I can sleep safe at night knowing all is well. sarc off.
Paging Tom Clancy, you need to update your plot outlines.
Just in time for the post Ramadan 9-11 Mid eastern celebration.
I’ll bet Europe and Israel air travelers are real happy, let alone the Israeli Air Force. All that skippy promised his brethren.
I am sure that Skippy will be sitting watching Al Kajeera as they kick off their 9-11 parties throughout the mid east. The “democratic” mid east.
Western civilization is under attack from OUR White House.
And there isn’t anyone currently in office with the stones to say anything about it.
We have to get rid of that whole REGIME!
Can I be your vp?
Nobody would vote for me.
They’d say I’m too crazy.
Unintended consequences. At least from the point of view of freedom loving people's. From the communist in the WH's view, it is just what the muslim ordered.
Nobody would vote for me.
Theyd say Im too crazy.
No, you are not crazy enough.

Moffat at the double for Ayr
Michael Moffat hit a brace to give Ayr a 2-0 win over East Fife and maintain their place in the top four of Scottish League One.
Joe Mbu rattled a post after eight minutes for East Fife, while Ayr went close through Anthony Marenghi after 25 minutes but he failed to hit the target.
They went ahead just after the half-hour mark when Craig Johnstone upended Marenghi in the area and Moffat lashed in from the rebound after seeing his penalty parried by Greg Paterson.
Moffat added his second with 22 minutes remaining after Marenghi's pass found him and he rifled his 17th goal of the season into the top-right corner.
Gary Fisher almost gave East Fife a way back into the game minutes later but David Hutton parried away and Ayr held on for a second successive victory.

IT Maintenance & Patching
Smart IT choices for your business
If a big part of your job involves making smart choices for your business. Staying up to speed with the market and empowering your staff to do their best. Then keep reading.
As a business owner or manager, you have to make sure your technology is available and operational at all times. But what happens when your network crashes your email goes down, or your users get a virus. That’s when your business and staff need you the most. If you don’t have a contract in place with an I.T. provider when the incident happens, you have a few options.
You could try and fix the issue yourself. Maybe someone in your team knows a little about I.T. you could end up making the problem worse and losing further time and money. This is where the importance of IT maintenance comes into play.
As a business, you must understand the importance of regular IT maintenance as it helps to ensure that an IT system regardless if it’s a personal computer or data center – remains stable and secure. One other importance of IT maintenance is that it ensures that your IT system operates at 100% efficiency.
All the modifications and updates made to the IT system are logged and are tracked to analyze the performance (improvement or decrement) which later helps in making right decisions on whether the system requires any update or not.
Training and performing routine checkup are also an important component of IT maintenance.
Professional IT maintenance activities include the following:
- Implementation of the process.
- Analysis of the problem and the modifications made to the system.
- Implementation of the updates and changes.
- A detailed review of the maintenance and verification.
- Backup and migration.
Some basic IT maintenance services include purchasing duplicate files, system updates, implementation of antivirus or anti-malware, regular hardware, and other IT equipment checkups, industry-standard disk checkup and cleanup tasks, etc.
Company or business security is a more complex IT maintenance task, and it involves not only the installation of antivirus but also the proper implementation of firewalls for both inbound and outbound traffic, regular disk checkup, and in-house security measures for server access.
Most of the tasks can be performed internally by business, but it’s quite rare for any business to have professionals with experience and knowledge in such a diverse field. Most of the time, it’s quite complicated for firms to handle all these security measures by themselves, and it makes sense to outsource the task to a simply trusted IT support company.
Making Sure Your Software Is Up to Date
It doesn’t matter if it’s necessary day to day checkup or its security maintenance as a business you cannot afford to miss on any IT maintenance duty as it can severely impact your business’s performance and overall throughput.
Any reduction in the performance of your system application can severely impact the productivity and effectiveness of your employees and your business. So, it is of utmost importance to regularly check and update apps which are somehow interrupting in your daily business tasks.
IT Maintenance and Patching Automation
Without a doubt, it is possible for every business to automate most of their IT maintenance tasks with the help of suitable hardware and software applications. For an example, an antivirus can automatically protect your servers, and your employee’s systems with scheduled for example antivirus can automatically protect your servers and your employee’s individual systems with scheduled checkups for viruses, malware’s, rootkits and whatnot. Similarly, a backup application with a well – configured backup set up can automatically create nightly backups of all your hard drive without interfering with your day-to-day work thus giving you an extra layer of protection without having to do a single task manually.
As a business, you will always love to have setups which can automatically perform its task without needing any dedicated employee because not only it saves precious time but also saves in a human resource which you can then route to a different task.
I can understand that automation seems to be an attractive decision, but you still need to make sure that the automation applications are installed into your system by professionals. If there is any misconfiguration or improper setup, then these automation can become a nightmare for you and your business.
To prevent any such misfortune from happening, it’s beneficial for you to hire IT maintenance professionals to do the setup work and to perform the regular manual checkup.
Why You Must Hire Professionals for IT Maintenance
If you can’t fix your IT issues, you can find an external I.T. contractor to help you, but you’ll probably end up waiting for an engineer to come out and learn your I.T. system. And because the engineer is probably not familiar with your I.T. systems, he/she will need more time and likely only patch the symptom and not fix the underlying problem.
What if you don’t have the budget to afford internal I.T. resources or expensive emergency support like call outs. Your business could be out of action for days or longer.
Getting a monthly I.T. managed service plan means taking a proactive approach to tackling I.T. problems reducing risk and potentially huge costs.
Contact Us for your IT Partner
As your specialist I.T. partner, we monitor, maintain, and support your I.T. systems at a fixed price per month. When you sign up for one of our I.T. support plans, we get familiar with your I.T. environment beforehand so we can manage it proactively as if it was our own. Your staff understands the benefits of a local dedicated help desk that’s available 24/7 to deliver I.T. support quickly when they need it. With our remote monitoring platform, we can scan your computer system every minute of everyday reporting threats in real time typically before they become problems to your business at cloud specialists.
We have designed a managed I.T. services offering that gives businesses unlimited support for a convenient flat monthly fee so you can start preventing problems before they arise and empower your staff with an always available team.
Having an IT Maintenance and Patching contract is smart choice for any business, cloud service, etc. as they get now get to spend their work force in the areas they excel.

This story was published more than 11 years ago.
A 55 year old British woman has been sentenced to 20 months in jail after she stole £73,566 from her employer to gamble on bingo online.
Elizabeth Sutton plead guilty to the charges, saying that she took the money from Camelot Automotive where she worked as an Administration Manager. Sutton's crimes put the company in financial trouble, requiring 11 of her colleagues to forgo raises for two years.
Sutton had begun work at the firm in 2005, during which time she controlled the finances for the company. In 2010 the company found out that £40,000 in payments had not been made to a company in Portugal. An investigation began, and Sutton was charged for the theft in 2012.
It has been determined that Sutton stole the money from December 1st, 2009 through August 25, 2011.
Speaking during the sentencing, Judge David Fletcher said: "This theft has had a considerable effect on the owner of the company, his directors and your former colleagues. They have been prevented from having any pay rises for the last two years and their jobs were severely prejudiced and put at risk."
"When you are sitting in that prison cell, think about the effect you have had on your former colleagues, just because you wanted to engage in a whim of your own by gambling."

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) -- Third-inning two-run doubles by Domingo Santana and Yuhei Nakamura broke up a tie game as the Yakult Swallows clinched the Central League pennant with a 5-1 victory over the DeNA BayStars on Tuesday.
The Swallows' win at Yokohama Stadium, coupled with the second-place Hanshin Tigers' loss to the Chunichi Dragons, lifted the Swallows to their first CL title in six years.
"Our first priority was winning our game, but at the same time we were a little concerned with the Tigers' wins and losses," manager Shingo Takatsu said after being tossed in the air by the team in a celebratory "doage" ceremony.
"All we could do was put our best players on the field and our best pitchers on the mound and let them do their parts," he said. "This was 100 percent the players' doing."
With the game tied 1-1 in the third inning, the visitors loaded the bases against lefty Shota Imanaga (5-5) with one out. Santana drove a ball into the gap in right to break the tie, and Nakamura doubled off the wall in left to make it 5-1.
Swallows right-hander Hirotoshi Takanashi allowed a first-inning run, but left after four innings without allowing another. Lefty Keiji Takahashi (4-1), normally a starter, worked two scoreless innings of relief from the fifth to earn the win.
At Koshien Stadium, southpaw Shinnosuke Ogasawara (8-10) worked six innings to earn the win and Yohei Oshima delivered a crushing two-run fifth-inning single as the Dragons eliminated the Tigers with a 4-0 victory.
At Sapporo Dome, the Nippon Ham Fighters edged closer to moving out of the Pacific League cellar with a 1-0 walk-off win over the fifth-place Seibu Lions. The Lions lead the Fighters on winning percentage points, .440 to .438.

GirlGuiding UK appeared yesterday to confirm that the effect of their new trans inclusive policy is to exclude trans boys, who should be “expected… to move on” from the organisation. Whether trans boys would or would not, in practice, wish to remain Guides is beyond the scope of this blog, which is looking solely at the law here.
GirlGuiding UK holds itself out as a single sex organisation – that is, one which invokes the single sex exemptions permitted under the Equality Act 2010 (EqA). Such exemptions are permissible, as long as exclusion of members of the opposite sex is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
This is generally simple, until the effect of the protected characteristic of gender reassignment is also taken into account. GGUK, in common with many other organisations, seem to think that as soon as someone proposes gender reassignment (and thereby gains the protected characteristic of gender reassignment) they should be treated as though they have already acquired the protected characteristic of their preferred sex. In common language, that as soon as a male says they are female, they must be treated as a female, and as soon as a female says they are male, they must be treated as a male.
This is not what the law says. The law says that it is impermissible to discriminate against someone due to a protected characteristic (save for when it is necessary, back to our legitimate aims). Once someone has a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) they become a member of their acquired sex “for all purposes” and therefore gain the protected characteristic of their new sex. Prior to getting a GRC, their legal sex remains their original sex. None of this, of course, materially affects how someone moves through the world in terms of their expression and presentation, and nor should it.
There are few cases which deal with this, but support can be found in the comments of HHJ Richardson QC in R (Green) v Secretary of State for Justice  EWHC 3491 (Admin) at §66 – 70, and in MB v SSWP (RP)  UKUT 290 (AAC) at §47. Protected characteristic of membership of a sex is restricted to those who share it by birth or by acquisition of a GRC.
Of course, children at Guides will not have a GRC, because they are too young to acquire one. So the legal sex of children entering or leaving Guides will be their birth sex, although they may also have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.
For a female child who does not have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, this will be straightforward. She may join the Guides. For a male child who does not have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, it is equally straightforward. He may not.
The Guides policy is now that a female child who does have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment would be expected to move on, while a male child who also has that protected characteristic must be admitted.
This seems to be a total inversion of the purpose of the EqA exemptions. A male child who does have the protected characteristic would not be discriminated against, legally, if that child is treated no differently to the male child who does not. Whereas a female child who is expected to leave, purely because of having that protected characteristic, is being treated very differently on the basis of gender reassignment to other female children who do not have that protected characteristic.
In the adult equivalent, this would mean that the EqA exemptions mean that women’s services must open to males without a GRC as long as they are proposing gender reassignment, but should exclude females with the protected characteristic.
The protected characteristic includes those who are “perceived” as transitioning – quite rightly, in order to protect those who are not transitioning but are gender non conforming and are victimised because there is a perception that they are reassigning their gender – so if this analysis were right, then a single sex women’s organisation must admit males who propose transition but do not have a GRC, but are permitted to exclude butch presenting females.
This surely cannot be right, on a purposive interpretation.
Back to the Guides, if they were to exclude female children with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, how could this be justified? To do so, they must identify a legitimate aim, and show that exclusion is proportionate. It is hard to see how that could be done.
I have also seen it suggested online that it is somehow illegal for the Guides to allow male children with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment into their group. It is not. They can have whatever admissions process they like, as long as they can justify any arising discrimination, and it is perfectly legal for them to have a single gender, but mixed sex, organisation. If that is the case then they would need to make it clear that they are not in fact a single sex organisation, as this may affect the decisions of some parents to permit their child to join. Those parents may well have protected characteristics of their own in relation to, for example, religion, or have other more personal reasons for wanting their daughter only in single sex spaces, such as themselves or their daughter having experienced male violence. No doubt the Guides have considered this already.
The Guides, as I publish this, have just confirmed that in fact they would not force out female children with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, but would allow them to remain with their unit if they wished. This is good, if belated, news – although they need to be aware that in voicing the adults’ expectation that the child would leave, this may still breach the EqA, as a child who felt the pressure of that expectation would still be able to make a case for discrimination. It may also throw up further questions over how – or if – they are applying the exemptions. If Guides is no longer restricted to those of the female sex (with or without the protected characteristic of gender reassignment) and nor is it restricted to those with a feminine gender identity (with or without the protected characteristic of sex) then what is the justification for excluding those of the male sex who do not have a feminine gender identity?
Innate gender identity is not a protected characteristic, save to the extent that it is a deeply held belief. It is permissible for an organisation to restrict its membership to those who share a deeply held belief. Perhaps this is now how GirlGuiding UK restricts membership: to those who share a deeply held belief in an innate gender identity.
If so, this is perfectly legal, but poor news for girls. No philosophy which seeks to ascribe the gender expectations placed culturally upon women to something innate within them – whether that is wandering wombs, head bumps, brain size, or soul – has ever boded well for women.
