It has been hypothesized that cysteamine, which is a chemical precursor of the pantetheine moiety of coenzyme A, was formed in the primitive oceans from ethylene sulfide and ammonia or from ethylene imine and hydrogen sulfide (Keefe et al. 1995). However, our results suggest that cysteamine could have also formed readily from electric discharges. The recently discovered enzymatic conversion of cysteate into sulfopyruvate in the biosynthesis of coenzyme M (2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid, HSCH2CH2SO3H) in Methanosarcina acetivorans (Graham et al. 2009) supports the idea that products of cysteine degradation and
other sulfur-bearing organic compounds Emricasan order of prebiotic origin may have been involved in early biological processes. The selection of the two thio-amino acids present in proteins is likely the outcome of a combination of their availability coupled with their functional utility (Cleaves 2010; Weber and Miller 1981). It has been suggested that cysteine could be an evolutionary replacement of an ancestral sulfhydryl-containing coenzyme (White 1982). However, it is possible that cysteine was first incorporated into proteins because of its ability to form RNA-recognizing zinc-fingers, to bind to Fe/S AP26113 clusters and to dimerize and covalently link to form disulfide bonds that play a key role in maintaining functional three-dimensionally folded
protein structures. In addition to its role as a building block in proteins, methionine is the immediate Doramapimod molecular weight precursor
of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the major methyl-group donor in transmethylation reactions in contemporary biochemistry. It has been proposed that methyl group transfer from SAM to amines may be vestigial of prebiotic Rebamipide methylation reactions involving formaldehyde (Waddell et al. 2000). However, the possibility that ribonucleotide-like coenzymes are remnants of an ancestral stage in which ribozymes played a more conspicuous role in metabolism (Orgel and Sulston 1971; White 1976) suggests that methionine may have been first incorporated into biological systems because of its involvement in methyltransferase activities that evolved in a primordial RNA-dependent world. In other words, it is possible that methionine was initially incorporated into the RNA world as a cofactor.

The 20-year-old British model travelled to a bogus photoshoot in Milan
Police in Italy have arrested a man who kidnapped a British model and allegedly tried to auction her off on the deep web.
The 20-year-old model had travelled to Italy for what turned out to be a bogus photo shoot in Milan.
Police said that when she arrived ahead of the shoot on July 11th she was attacked by two men and injected with the tranquilising drug Ketamine.
Her attackers then bundled her into a bag in the trunk of a car.
When she awoke the next day, she found herself handcuffed to a wooden chest in an isolated hut near Turin.
Her kidnapper reportedly demanded €300,000 off her agent in the UK to prevent her “sale” online.
He claimed he was working on behalf of the ‘Black Death’ group – a deep web trafficking organization.
He said the woman was to be sold to the highest bidder on deep web pornographic sites and threatened to kill her if police were notified.
The woman was eventually released after six days in captivity when he kidnapper realised she had a child.
As she was released on July 17th, her captor told her: “Our rules exclude mothers.”
Police have arrested a 30-year-old Polish man - believed to be resident in the UK - in connection with the kidnapping.
The man has confessed to the crime and his phone and computer - including photos of the model being offered on the "deep web" - have been confiscated.
He has been charged with kidnapping for the purposes of extortion.
Investigators believe the man had already organised a number of online auctions for trafficked women – however it is unclear whether the victims were real or not.
Italian investigators are now working with their counterparts in Britain and Poland to identify any accomplices involved in the abduction.
The woman at the centre of the ordeal has not been named.

The Baram Heritage Survey
The Baram Heritage Survey was a campaign conducted with the support of Baram Heritage Coalition partner The Borneo Project. Led by a team of local surveyors and field technicians, the Survey aimed to produce a collection of social, ecological, and economic data from the Upper Baram. The Survey recorded more than 5,000 data points across three sites in 2020 and 2021.
Survey technicians conducted nearly 300 hunting surveys and more than 150 fishing surveys, in addition to 111 social interviews. Key subsistence resources from wild boar and river fish to wild fruits and vegetables were recorded to produce a complete picture of the livelihood needs of local communities.
The survey identified the presence of 39 rare, threatened, or endangered species -- with 5,368 individual animals that belong to these categories. It proved beyond a doubt that the Upper Baram is a key biodiversity hotspot, and if left unprotected, could risk the existence of some of our most critically endangered rainforest animals.

CCA seeks to recruit and train volunteers to assist supervisors in meeting the needs of the students, which in turn, allows the supervisors to focus more of their time on the needs of students.
These Volunteer Policies have been developed to provide guidelines about volunteer policies and procedures for CCA. These policies are intended to ensure fair and consistent treatment of all volunteers. It is the intention of CCA to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect, non-discrimination, and trust based on clear lines of authority, responsibility, and accountability, and to provide volunteers with the flexibility necessary to meet other obligations. This manual will assist you in becoming familiar with the privileges and obligations of your volunteerism with the organization. None of the policies or guidelines are intended to give rise to contractual rights or obligations, or to be construed as a guarantee of continued volunteer engagement. Additionally, these guidelines are subject to modification, amendment, or revocation at any time, without advance notice.
3) Ethical And Legal Business Practices
CCA expects the highest standard of ethical conduct and fair dealing from each employee and volunteer. Our reputation is a valuable asset, and we must continually earn the trust, confidence and respect of our students, parents, guardians, and our community. These policies provide general guidance on the ethical principles that we all must follow, but no guideline can anticipate all situations. You should also be guided by basic honesty and good judgment and be sensitive to others’ perceptions and interpretations. If you have any questions about these policies, please consult the Academy Administrator, Beth Hill.
4) Attendance And Punctuality
Each volunteer is important to the overall success of CCA. Attendance, as scheduled, is a key factor in your performance and affects our success. When you are not here, someone else must perform activities usually handled by you. Punctuality and regular attendance are expected of all volunteers. Volunteers are expected to report to CCA at their scheduled time. Reporting on time means that you are ready to begin your scheduled task. Arriving on campus at your scheduled start time should be avoided. Please arrive early. Excessive absences (whether excused or unexcused), tardiness or leaving early is unacceptable. If you are absent for any reason or plan to arrive late or leave early, you must notify the Learning Center Supervisor, School Administrator, or leave a message on CCA‘s answering machine as far in advance as possible. Volunteers are depended on as scheduled.
5) Dress Code
CCA desires to present a professional image to our students, parents and/or guardians, and the community. All volunteers are required to wear khaki pants and black shirts. Volunteers should be neatly groomed, and clothes should be clean and in good repair. For off-site events, the Learning Center Supervisor will notify volunteers of any change in uniforms.
6) Severe Weather Conditions
CCA will be open except in cases of extreme weather. Should school be cancelled because of inclement weather, a cancellation notice will be communicated to volunteers through a phone call, text message, or other means as necessary. When the weather is questionable and the school is open, we encourage you to use your own good judgment in deciding whether you can safely report that day or not.
7) Reimbursement and Payment for Volunteers
Payment or reimbursement can be authorized for pre-approved reasonable and necessary expenses. Volunteers must obtain the advance consent of their supervisor before incurring expenses for which they will seek reimbursement. Approved expenses must be fully documented, with receipts attached, and are to be submitted to the appropriate staff member for payment within thirty (30) days of the date on which they were incurred. Receipts must be provided for all business-related expenditures to claim reimbursement. By definition, volunteers are not paid for their time. There will be no payment for volunteer services. This includes hourly wages and in-kind exchange for services. For example, if a volunteer has a student in the academy and they volunteer, then there will be no reduction in tuition costs as this would be defined as an in-kind exchange for services. If a volunteer has a student in the academy, then they do qualify to apply for scholarship help due to hardship. If a scholarship is granted it has no connection as to whether a person volunteers or doesn’t. They are mutually exclusive.
8) Conflict of Interest
Volunteers are expected to be sensitive to possible conflicts of interest. Activities that undermine CCA’s mission, core principles, strategies, positions, or goals constitute a conflict of interest. Transmitting personal comments or statements through e-mail or posting information to news groups that may be mistaken as the position of CCA also constitute conflicts of interest. If a volunteer creates a conflict of interest or refuses to end any activity or employment creating a conflict of interest, such behavior can be grounds for termination of their volunteer engagement.
9) Policy Against Workplace Harassment
CCA is committed to providing a work environment for all volunteers that is free from any form of harassment and intimidation. Volunteers are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and to show respect to parents/guardians, staff, and students. Sexual harassment and other types of discriminatory harassment are illegal. CCA’s property (e.g., telephones, copy machines, computers, and computer applications such as e-mail and Internet) may not be used to engage in conduct that violates this policy. CCA’s policy against harassment covers volunteers and other individuals who have a relationship with CCA which enables CCA to exercise a degree of control over the individual’s conduct in places and activities that relate to CCA’s work. If you believe that you have experienced or witnessed sexual harassment or other discriminatory harassment by any volunteer of CCA, report the incident immediately to the Learning Center Supervisor, the School Administrator, or the Chief Executive Officer. CCA will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of harassment as discreetly and confidentially as practicable. Compliance with this policy is a condition of each volunteer’s engagement.
10) Workplace Violence
CCA is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, in part by promoting open, friendly, and supportive working relationships among all volunteers and employees. Violence is not an effective solution to any problem and violence, or threats of violence are unacceptable. Threats of violence or fighting will not be tolerated. If a CCA related issue is causing undue stress or agitation, the volunteer is encouraged to discuss it immediately with their supervisor.
Smoking/Vaping is not permitted on CCA’s ten-acre campus or at off-site events at which the volunteer is representing CCA. Volunteers may step outside the gate by the multi-purpose building to smoke or vape when on break time.
12) Drug Free Workplace
CCA is a drug-free workplace. We do not tolerate the presence of illegal drugs or the illegal use of legal drugs in our workplace. The use, possession, distribution, or sale of controlled substances such as drugs or alcohol or being under the influence of such controlled substances is strictly prohibited while volunteering or while on CCA’s premises or off-site events. If you need to take a prescription drug that affects your ability to perform your scheduled activity, you are required to discuss possible accommodations with your supervisor. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your volunteerism.
13) Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information
Any information that a volunteer learns about CCA, its employees, volunteers, or students because of volunteering here that is not otherwise publicly available constitutes confidential information. Volunteers may not disclose confidential information to anyone who is not employed by CCA or to other persons employed by CCA who do not need to know such information. Any volunteer who discloses confidential information will be subject to disciplinary action (including possible termination of their volunteer engagement), even if he or she does not actually benefit from the disclosure of such information. Discussions involving sensitive information should always be held in confidential settings to safeguard the confidentiality of the information. Conversations regarding confidential information generally should not be conducted on cellular phones, or in elevators, restrooms, restaurants, or other places where conversations might be overheard.
Volunteers are prohibited from soliciting (personally or via electronic mail) for membership, pledges, subscriptions, the collection of money or for any other unauthorized purpose anywhere on CCA property while volunteering. Persons who are not employed by the organization may not solicit or distribute literature on the organization’s premises at any time for any reason. Volunteers are prohibited from distributing, circulating, or posting (on bulletin boards, refrigerators, walls, etc.) literature, petitions, or other materials at any time for any purpose without the prior approval of the Learning Center Supervisor, School Administrator, or Chief Executive Officer.
15) Computer and Information Security
This section sets forth some important rules relating to the use of CCA’s computer and communications systems. These systems include individual PCs provided to volunteers, centralized computer equipment, all associated software, and CCA’s telephone, voice mail and electronic mail systems. CCA has provided computer and communications systems to support its mission. Although limited personal use of these systems is allowed, subject to the restrictions outlined below, no use of these systems should ever conflict with the primary purpose for which they have been provided, CCA’s ethical responsibilities or with applicable laws and regulations. Each user is personally responsible to ensure that these guidelines are followed. All data in the organization’s computer and communication systems (including documents, other electronic files, email, and recorded voice mail messages) are the property of CCA and may be inspected and monitored at any time. No individual should have any expectation of privacy for messages or other data recorded in CCA’s systems. This includes documents or messages marked “private,” which may be inaccessible to most users but remain available to CCA. Likewise, the deletion of a document or message may not prevent access to the item or eliminate it from the system. CCA’s systems must not be used to create or transmit material that is derogatory, defamatory, obscene, or offensive, such as slurs, epithets or anything that might be construed as harassment or disparagement based on protected status. CCA’s systems must not be used to transmit personal comments or statements through e-mail or post information to news groups that may be mistaken as the position of CCA.
Security procedures in the form of unique user sign-on identification and passwords have been provided to control access to CCA’s host computer system, networks, and voice mail system. In addition, security measures have been provided to restrict access to certain documents and files for the purpose of safeguarding information. All usernames and passwords should be recorded with the Learning Center Supervisor, School Administrator, or Chief Executive Officer.
The following activities, which present security risks, should be avoided:
- Attempts to bypass, or render ineffective, security facilities provided by CCA
- Sharing passwords in the absence of legitimate business reasons
- Accessing the specific document files of other users in the absence of legitimate business reasons
- Changing or modifying hardware or software configurations of computer equipment without IT staff approval
- Loading personal software (including outside email services, games, instant messaging software) to company computers
- Downloading programs or installing programs copied from CCA computers without IT staff approval
- Loading unlicensed software on CCA’s computers
- Attempting to obtain unauthorized access to or use of other computer systems and/or data
- Copying company software (whether developed internally or licensed) onto other media other than for legitimate business reasons.
- Removing software documentation from CCA’s offices.
- Changing the location or installation of computer equipment in offices and work areas without approval from IT staff
There are several practices that individual users should adopt that will foster a higher level of security. Among them are the following:
- Log off your personal computer when you are leaving your area or office for an extended period unless instructed to do otherwise for system maintenance.
- Exercise judgment in assigning an appropriate level of security to documents stored on CCA’s networks, based on a realistic appraisal of the need for confidentiality or privacy.
- Remove previously written information from moveable storage devices before copying documents on such devices for delivery outside CCA.
- Back up any information stored locally on your workstation (other than network-based software and documents) on a frequent and regular basis.
Should you have any questions about any of the above policy guidelines, please contact the Learning Center Supervisor, School Administrator, or Chief Executive Officer.
16) Internet Acceptable Use
Access to the Internet is provided to volunteers to support the mission of CCA. No use of the Internet should conflict with the primary purpose of CCA, its ethical responsibilities or with applicable laws and regulations. Each user is personally responsible to ensure that these guidelines are followed. Serious repercussions, including being ineligible to volunteer, may result if the guidelines are not followed. CCA reserves the right to monitor Internet usage by volunteers, including reviewing a list of sites accessed. No individual should have any expectation of privacy in terms of his or her usage of the Internet. In addition, CCA may restrict access to certain sites that it deems are not necessary for business purposes. In addition to the restrictions named in Section 15, CCA’s Internet connections may not be used for any of the following activities:
- To download or disseminate copyrighted material that is an infringement of copyright law
- To transmit personal comments or statements through e-mail or to post information to news groups that may be mistaken as the position of CCA
- To disclose confidential information
- To send or participate in chain letters, pyramid schemes or other illegal schemes
- To solicit for commercial purposes, causes, outside organizations, chain messages or other related purposes.
17) Personal Electronics Acceptable Use
CCA understands that many volunteers have cell phones and other handheld communication devices. CCA prohibits the use of cell phones in any way that violates federal, state, or local laws or that is otherwise unsafe. Volunteers whose responsibilities may include driving are expected to use good judgment if the need to use a cell phone arises while driving. Safety must come before all other concerns. Volunteers are strongly encouraged to pull off to the side of the road and stop their vehicle before placing or accepting a call. Volunteers are encouraged to keep the calls short. Special care should be taken in situations where there is traffic, inclement weather, or the volunteer is driving in an unfamiliar area.
18) Background Checks
CCA requires Background checks on all its employees and volunteers. Volunteers will sign F-1015 Volunteer Policies Acceptance Form giving CCA permission to perform a Background check.

Correlation between ocular axial length, anterior chamber depth, Average K-values and a differential analysis in short
Introduction: To study correlation between ocular axial length, Average K-values and anterior chamber depth in eyes and to differentially analyse strength of this correlation in eyes with short axial length.
Materials and Methods: The present study conducted an observational study where keratometry and ultrasound biometry records of 100 patients reporting for cataract surgery were taken. A comparative analysis using ultrasound Biometry and automated keratometry for pre-operative measurement of Axial length (AL), Average K-value, Anterior chamber depth (ACD) and calculated IOL power was done. Statistical Analysis was done to determine overall correlation between three parameters. Patients were then classified into various groups of short AL for a differential comparison within the group. Kendall-Pearson correlation test was used to assess relationship between AL and ACD, overall and within each subgroup. A P -value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Comparison of axial length with various clinical parameters showed a p- value of 0.00 , suggestive of highly significant statistical correlation of ACD between 2 sub-groups( Group A; 20.00 to 20.99mm and Group B; 21.00 to 22.00) and Correlation analysis between AXL, ACD and Average K showed p –value of 0.00 , suggestive of highly significant statistical correlation between AXL and ACD.
Conclusions: As mean AL decreases ACD also decreases. In eyes with short AL there is wide variability in ACD which is either due to variable lens thickness or lens location in different eyes.

The Future of Apprenticeships
- The industry makeup of current federal apprenticeships has barely changed since the creation of Registered Apprenticeship Programs in 1937.
- Apprenticeships are still largely concentrated in goods-producing industries, but Bureau of Labor Statistics projections indicate that the majority of job growth will happen in the service sector, meaning that apprenticeship programs are currently not preparing workers for future labor-market demands.
- Identifying the occupations and skills needed in the future and developing apprenticeships in those areas could allow workers to move into roles with higher wages and better earnings potential and strengthen the labor force as a whole.
To serve workers, employers, and enable economic growth, apprenticeship programs need to be adaptable with an eye to the future. The traditional education system is often not equipping students cost-effectively with skills that will lead to success in the labor force. By offering hands-on training, apprenticeships can offer students and workers a better way to prepare for the labor force—if the skills being taught are needed by employers, and particularly those in rapidly growing industries. Given that 90 percent of active apprenticeships are concentrated in five industries, it is worth exploring if current apprenticeship programs are preparing workers for the jobs of the fastest growing industries. Comparing these two groups indicates there is a mismatch between current federal upskilling and reskilling opportunities and the jobs of the future, and workers would benefit from a better alignment between apprenticeship programs and these industries.
The Current Apprenticeship Model
Following the passage of the Fitzgerald Act in 1937, which established the Registered Apprenticeship Program, apprenticeships were largely concentrated in construction and manufacturing. After the second World War, some expansion occurred with apprenticeships being used to train police, firefighters, and other emergency personnel. Since then, however, not much has changed in the industry makeup of apprenticeship programs.
Among all registered apprenticeships, 68 percent are in the construction industry. The strong and comparatively large network of construction-related apprenticeships is preparing workers well for construction jobs, and so long as there will continue to be demand for skilled labor in the construction industry, federal support for these apprenticeships makes sense.
That said, however, previous American Action Forum research found that while 75 percent of federal apprenticeships train workers in goods-producing industries (such as construction), those industries will only be responsible for .6 percent of job growth through 2024. The impact of rapidly developing automation technology on future job growth will require workers’ roles and skills to shift.
Changes to the Labor Force
According to a survey conducted by the World Economic Forum, 43 percent of businesses indicate that they are likely to reduce their workforce due to increased technology implementation. In the short term, as workers and employers adjust to changes, there may be some job losses, but ultimately it is likely that technology will not only increase productivity but also open up more job opportunities. The survey also found that 34 percent of employers surveyed plan to expand their workforce due to technology. The nature of these jobs will change, however: Research shows that the types of skills needed in the labor force will change, affecting large numbers of workers. For those workers who remain in their roles, it’s estimated that 42 percent of core skills that will change and 50 percent of all employees will need reskilling over the next 5 years. The challenge, therefore, is preparing a workforce that can move into these new roles.
While it is encouraging that the construction industry seems well equipped to provide rapid and high-quality training, it is certainly not the only industry that will require rapid upskilling or reskilling. As discussed earlier in the series, workers and businesses would likely benefit from more apprenticeship offerings across a wider range of industries, and targeting that expansion (and thus the funding supporting it) would help to ensure more effective outcomes.
Rapidly Growing Industries
Identifying where to target apprenticeship expansion is a challenge, but Bureau of Labor Statistics projections can offer helpful indicators of where job openings are likely to increase. Data show that six out of the 10 most rapidly growing occupations are concentrated in the health care sector. Furthermore, the service sector will be responsible for almost the entirety of occupational growth yet makes up a small fraction of current apprenticeship offerings.
Home health and personal aides are expected to see the largest increase in job growth, growing by 1.2 million workers over the next decade (or 33 percent job growth). Further, technological development has created the need for more specific skills to support occupations such as software developers and advanced programming. As computer and information technology occupations grow, so do the opportunities for workers to reskill into higher-paying roles. The median annual wage for computer and information technology occupations was $88,240 in May 2019, which was higher than the median annual wage for all occupations, which stood at $39,810. While looking at growing industries gives a general picture of where more apprenticeships can be developed, identifying specific high-value, in-demand skills is also crucial.
ccording to research conducted by LinkedIn, the top five “hard” skills companies need are centralized database management/blockchain capabilities, cloud computing, analytical reasoning, artificial intelligence, and user-experience design. Equally important are the sometimes-forgotten “soft” skills. Among these, employers indicate the top five skills they look for are creativity, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Apprenticeships have the benefit of being able to teach both soft and hard skills simultaneously because of their work-based model, which enables participants to develop technical skills in the classroom and use them at work while learning soft skills. Given the expected growth in service sector occupations, soft skills will only grow in importance. The movement to remote work has also placed an emphasis on certain soft skills such as clear communication and collaboration, while hard skills have been shifting to data literacy and cybersecurity.
The in-demand hard skills are seemingly not being taught in the types of apprenticeships available in goods-producing industries. Ensuring that workers are trained not just for growing industries but for widely needed skills will help workers more by allowing them to move between industries and not remain tied to one specific role with one specific employer. Allowing increased worker flexibility by focusing on skills when expanding apprenticeships would better serve worker interests and create a more dynamic labor force better able to deal with economic shocks.
Apprenticeships in the United States have received renewed attention as a result of declining labor force participation, rapidly changing labor-market needs, and unemployment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Apprenticeships could offer a way to avoid long-term unemployment by connecting individuals to work and providing them with greater earning potential and portable credentials. The current apprenticeship program is largely concentrated in industries that are different than those projected to have much of the future job growth. Research shows that much of the job growth over the next decade will come from the service sector, with the fastest growing occupations relating to health care and computer and information technology. In order for apprenticeships to provide workers and the economy with the maximum amount of benefits, it’s crucial that programs are aligned with the needs of a rapidly changing labor force that is expanding into new industries.

Benevilla: Carol Struck
Benevilla strengthens communities by offering supportive, life-enriching programs that enable personal independence and dignity. It provides a continuum of care that promotes independence and instills a sense of dignity and self-empowerment. We recognize that caring for the needs of senior adults reaches beyond the individual to the entire family.
ENCORE TALENT: Entrepreneurship and energy
Carol Struck is an all-star in Benevilla’s large and talented volunteer ranks. In her home state of Illinois, she was a superintendent of schools and also ran a used bookstore. After moving to Arizona, Carol said, “a couple of weeks after my retirement, I realized that retirement wasn’t my thing.”
Benevilla wanted to diversify its revenues; they recruited Struck to run Birt’s Bistro, their bookstore, catering and restaurant business. Revenue has increased 83 percent since Carol joined Benevilla and in a year, the bookstore, restaurant, and entertainment programming became major revenue sources.
NONPROFIT BENEFITS: New resources and impressive skills
“We’re so fortunate to engage high-level professionals who have experience in business, fundraising, programming and community advocacy,” says Michelle Dionisio, Benevilla’s president and CEO.
“Results like this show the value of embracing encore workers and utilizing their impressive skills. With a graying America, this is an opportunity,” Dionisio says. “They bring pure hearts and strong intentions to making their community, and the world, a better place.”
For those considering hiring encore talent, Dionisio says, “Our staff really embrace leaders who come from the encore experience, because we know we are going to learn from them. Many times, the encore workers are able to bring resources that help to open doors in terms of funding, additional support, technology — all kinds of valuable things for a nonprofit.”
This story originally appeared in a video for a 2014 award by Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust. Benevilla also recruited an Encore Fellow through Experience Matters, a Maricopa County nonprofit that connects encore talent with local organizations.


President Joe Biden is looking to set up an emergency direct hotline with the Chinese government to reduce conflict between Washington and Beijing, a Wednesday report revealed.
The rapid communication tool with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would be similar to the ‘red phone’ – a phone line established between the U.S.
and Soviet Union during the Cold War to avoid nuclear attacks.
A hotline, the sources detailed, would allow Biden and other top national security and Defense Department officials to send encrypted messages or phone calls to Xi and his team.
The device would allow the U.S.
and China to share urgent information with each other, like military movements or warnings of impending cyber attacks.
News of plans for a hotline comes as tensions between the two nations continue to heighten.
President Joe Biden (left) wants to set up an emergency hotline over encrypted email for rapid communication with Chinese President Xi Jinping (right) and other top officials with the Chinese Communist Party amid rising tensions
The hotline would be similar to the so-called ‘red phone’ emergency line between the U.S.
and Soviet Union established during the Cold War to avoid nuclear war
In the most recent turn of events, the State Department on Monday again accused the CCP of genocide and crimes against humanity in its repression of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region.
Hours earlier, a U.S.
ship entered disputed waters in the South China Sea, causing even more discontent from the CCP.
While a hotline with Beijing already exists at the Pentagon, the communication tool meant to exclusively relay military matters is rarely used.
‘We do have a hotline.
It’s known to have, the couple of times we’ve used it, just rung in an empty room for hours upon hours,’ Senior National Security Council Indo-Pacific Coordinator Kurt Campbell said earlier this year during a conversation about US-China diplomacy and Taiwan.
The so-called ‘red phone’ to the Kremlin was established in 1963, but the actual device was never a physical red-colored telephone or even a phone line in general.
Rather, the hotline, when first implemented during the Soviet-era, was Teletype equipment.
In 1986 shifted to fax machines. Since 2008, the emergency hotline between Washington and Moscow has been hosted on a computer link where messages are exchanged over a secure email.
A similar sort of set up with China has been in the works since at least Barack Obama’s presidency.
The idea, however, just started to come to fruition in the final year of Donald Trump’s term in the form of a national security memo, a source familiar with the communication said.
State Department and National Security Council officials are looking into how the device would work in the technical sense – and it’s still unclear whether the CCP would agree to implement it.
The plan is still in its infancy, however, and the Biden administration still has several details to work out until a hotline is proposed to Xi.
Current and former U.S.
officials also told CNN that there have been ongoing issues when it comes to receiving timely responses from Beijing – especially when it comes to urgent matters.
The biggest issue with rapid communication appears to be with the top-down nature of the CCP political system, mainly that most contact lower than leader-level is disincentivized.
On Monday, the State Department released a report where it claimed China is one of the six places in the world where crimes against humanity are being committed or are at risk of happening.

This topic assesses the environmental impact attributed to companies from food waste, including the social impacts.
The impact assessment should include the absolute amount of food wasted, what kind of environmental impacts it has on the planet, how long the impact lasts and how detrimental it is.
As a secondary point, the analysis should discuss social impacts food waste has on both hunger and the economy, how long these effects will last and how detrimental they are.
To this aim, the analysis should include not only the amount of food waste produced, but also where along the chain most of the food is wasted, what kinds of food are wasted, and whether there are any measures in place to minimise the impact.
In your analysis, you should assess both the preparation process as well as throwing out food at the end-of-life.
The Impact Note needs to discuss the absolute amount of food wasted, the You can address remediation methods if applicable, such as efforts to reduce the total amount of food waste or to redistribute food where needed, but be sure to critically evaluate how successful these initiatives are, whether they are genuinely minimizing impact or serving more as greenwashing.
The analysis should contain a discussion of the entire process of food production the company is responsible for, not just the waste of the final product.
You can include mitigation efforts where it is relevant.
In the introduction, you should include:
What impacts food waste has on the environment and on society
How much food is wasted globally
If applicable, you should talk about the industry of the company, how much food waste is generated by this industry.
If relevant, the different types of food waste and/or when food is wasted (such as during preparation/storage etc) contribute different effects to the environment
Read more on how to build a strong introduction in this article.
The core shall prove the aforementioned issue at stake, tangibly proving how the intrinsic rights of people and their assets were impacted by the company.
This topic addresses a company's involvement in human rights violations, including but not limited to livelihood destructions, land-grabbing, systematic discrimination, violence, human trafficking, and forced displacement. These acts stem from a company's direct involvement in any activity that hinders peoples' and communities' intrinsic rights and complicity through any acts of human rights violations committed by third parties.
In the core analysis, you should address:
The absolute amount of food wasted by the company
How much of the food waste is going to landfill or being incinerated, etc.
In what stages of the value change is the food being wasted
Benchmark the quantity to the industry average or to the average of three main competitors, and how much this accounts for out of the total food waste in a given country or globally (depending on the geographical locations).
Put the total amount of food waste into context, such as how many people would have been fed, and how much this represents in economic losses.
Similarly, the total amount of food waste sent to landfill should be contextualised by looking into how many GHG emissions it likely causes, or similar analysis of environmental effects.
Mitigation efforts, such as waste reduction initiatives, converting food waste to energy, and/or treating it in a less harmful way.
Caution: this topic is not about general waste production and management - it should only address the waste of food specifically, touching about the environmental impacts as the focus, and how many people could have been fed and the economic burden as a secondary point.
To describe the scale of the impact, taking into account:
1/ The breadth of the impact
Is the impact local, national, or global?
How many people are concerned? Thousands? Millions? Billions?
2/ The depth of the impact
Is the life of people concerned deeply affected, or does the issue just marginally impact them?
Are the changes brought by the issue profoundly changing society or the planet?
3/ The persistence of the impact
In your analysis, make sure you add value to your readers and go beyond the company’s CSR report by not merely reporting data from the company’s report but going the extra mile of providing additional metrics, studies, and sources to make your analysis robust and the impact value and scale are clear.

Victorian diamond crown heart pendant, huge rose diamonds
Without a doubt the nicest Flemish heart we ever had. The size, quantity and quality of the rose cut diamonds is of such abundance that one can
only guess about the rich lifestyle of the wearer of this jewel. A true pleasure for the eye!

Country of origin:
Pre-Victorian or early Victorian
Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the
middle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau
style have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

The Romantic Victorian Period - Experts divide the reign of Queen Victoria, also called The Victorian era (1837-1901) in to three peiods of about twenty years each; The Romantic Victorian Period (1837 - 1860), The Grand Victorian Period (1860 -
1880), and the Late or Aesthetic Victorian Period (1880 – 1901).
We consider this to be of the Romantic Victorian Period. This period covers the coronation of Victoria as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and her marriage to King Albert and their love, their devotion to their marriage and to their country are the
sources of inspiration for this period. The jewels of this period are made of intricate carvings, special techniques where the enamel is subtly worked. These techniques allowed to give the jewel a certain opulence with less precious metal needed. As
precious metals were really rare at that time. Highly favored (semi-) precious stones in this period are amethyst, coral, garnets, seed pearls and turquoises. The connotation is obviously sentimental, symbolic and romantic with reminiscent Gotic and/or
Renaissance patterns and an abundant use of motifs like anchors, birds, branches, crosses, hearts and snakes.

Flemish Heart - One of the most peculiar and wide spread Flemish pieces of regional jewelry is a diamond heart pendant the so-called "Vlaams hart" (Dutch for “Flemish heart"). These hearts were fashionable in the 19th century and mostly made in gold
backed silver (see also the silver on gold technique). A Flemish heart is a heart shaped field set with rose cut diamonds and/or senelles hanging under a crowning.
There are two sorts of crownings possible:
1) The crowing is a crown and then it is build up from horizontal, diamond embellished, tendrils that are resting on a smooth surfaced ajour cut band with flattened little rhombic bars. The tendrils from the top incline slightly over this ajour cut band
towards the actual cross emphasizing the unity of the jewel.
2 ) The crowing as love trophy. A collection of four elements, a torch and quiver that are crossing each other, a bow that is horizontal mingled with them and all held together by a laurel. The slightly upwards direction of both ends of the bow refers to
the St. Andrew's cross. Torch, quiver and bow are typical attributes to Amor (Eros) and the laurel refers to the triumph of love. This combination was already in use with the old Greek and Romans and later of course in the Renaissance and had a enormous
success in France in the Louis XVI period (1774-1793).

I’ve had a chronic sore throat for months and months now. Over 6 months. It was getting better, but it’s come back. I’ve had tests, seen specialists and am waiting to see another one.
I feel like when I sneeze I am causing more damage. Does anyone know if it’s possible to alter how I sneeze to prevent this?
I’m already on a ton of allergy meds and treatments, so there isn’t much I can do that way.

Litchfield clerk says recount law needs clarificationBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
March 23. 2014 9:04PM
LITCHFIELD — Town clerk Terri Briand says she followed the law and did nothing wrong when she scheduled a recount for a single warrant article last Friday.
However, the state Attorney General’s Office disagreed, issuing a cease and desist order to stop the recount on claims that select individuals did not receive direct notice from her three days prior to the event.
State election laws must be amended to clarify who should receive personal notification for recounts, Briand said.
“In my opinion, I followed the law to a T,” Briand said this weekend. “If this is being interpreted differently, then it needs to be changed.”
Briand referenced RSA 669:31, which states in part: “The clerk shall notify each of the candidates for the office for which there is to be a recount at least three days prior to the day appointed for the recount of ballots. No other notice shall be required.”
Tom Schofield, a local resident and former town fire chief, petitioned for a recount on warrant article 22, which asked voters to convert the town’s road agent position from an elected role into a position appointed by the Board of Selectmen. The warrant article passed by eight votes, with 789 in support and 781 in opposition.
Briand agreed that a recount was warranted, and scheduled the recount for last Friday, posting details on the town Web page, its social media page and at Litchfield Town Hall. Briand said she did not directly contact Schofield because he is not a “candidate for office” as required by the RSA notification statute.
“A candidate and a petitioner is not the same. Tom is not a candidate — he is a petitioner,” she said. “Petitioners are not considered candidates, and we didn’t do anything wrong, in my opinion.”
When the issue was first raised to Briand last week, she contacted Paula Penney at the Secretary of State’s Office, members of the New Hampshire City and Town Clerks Association and the town attorney for clarification. The general consensus, she said, was that only candidates running for office had to be personally notified of recounts.
A simple change of wording within the law to read “candidates for the office and/or petitioners” would clarify the confusion, said Briand. She said she has already been in touch with representatives from the New Hampshire Municipal Association to seek assistance in getting the law amended.
The new recount has been scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, and all of the petitioners seeking the recount have been individually notified, according to Briand, who says she does not need to recuse herself from the proceedings even though her father, Jack Pinciaro, is currently serving as the town’s road agent.
“I don’t care if this warrant article passes or not, my concern is that the town failed to duly notify me of the recount,” Schofield said last week. “Personally, I think this warrant article was a power grab from the Board of Selectmen.”
He also believes that there is a potential conflict of interest, and that Briand should recuse herself from participating in the recount process.


Sir. December 13, 2020, 10:32 a.m. Biden held a virtual swearing-in for hundreds of White House staffers, telling them to treat each other with respect or they would dismissed, a marked change from the contentious, rivalry-driven Trump West Wing. Just before noon Saturday, police received a report of the collision involving a white four-door Honda Civic car and a white Toyota Tundra pickup truck near Goobies.

- Location: Beveren, Belgium
- Program: Residential
- Area: 16.595 m²
- Year: 2021
- Status: Competition
The project zone is directly adjacent to Lange Dreef in downtown Beveren, a historic beech avenue linking the old village core with the “Cortewalle” castle estate, a key scenic element in the municipality. Our vision prioritizes preserving and enhancing these cherished landscape features.
The master plan’s urban design concept connects different atmospheres at the project’s edges: the upcoming urban events square to the north, and the historic Lange Dreef to the south. The plan respects the historic avenue and aims for a layout that both augments its scenic value and establishes a link with the events square.
Expanding on this concept, four structures are positioned at the corners of a shared base, allowing light and views to flow through, creating a sense of openness. The spaces between are envisioned as lush green roofs with high vegetation, underscoring the landscape’s character.
This landscape theme is further extended by opening the shared base in the center, creating a quality outdoor space, or “hortus conclusus” — an enclosed garden reminiscent of Beveren’s historical courtyards. This garden, marked by intensive greening in various sections, becomes a focal point for socialization. It’s not just densely planted, but also features elements like a terrace near a multipurpose space, a play area, and more.
Implementing this holistic “green project,” which reflects Beveren’s diverse landscape qualities, represents a sustainable, functional choice honoring the environment and future prospects. It’s a future-proof strategy responding to the potentials and assets Gravenplein offers.
The residential options cater to the varying needs of different inhabitants. A mixed target audience informs a diversity in living spaces. The design and volume of the buildings reflect this variety, encompassing multiple layout types: through-apartments, corner units, ground-level units, penthouses, duplexes, 60 assisted living units, each ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms, encouraging social diversity with a mix including young starters, families, and seniors.
By incorporating protruding terraces, the structures remain compact, generating an engaging play of light and shadow on the façades. The terraces’ design is project-defining, conceptualized from the idea of a round table, leading to an organic form contrasting with the rational building volumes and harmonizing with the landscape. Terraces are alternated at each level, preventing overshadowing and enhancing natural light in the apartments. Planters integrated into the terraces and façades bring nature directly to the building, even accommodating intensive planting or small trees. The building radiates a natural essence, becoming one with its setting.

Recent surveys of southern upland hardwood forests have revealed widespread oak decline and mortality that is highly variable in severity. Several site and stand factors were found associated with greater mortality but relationships were not always clear. Decline and mortality were associated with older, sawtimber-sized stands. Red oak species (especially black and scarlet oaks) were most often damaged; highest mortality levels were associated with (but not limited to) ridge or upper slope topographic positions shallow , rocky soils and low to average site indices (<=70). A general classification of mortality risk can be accomplished by examination of the factors mentioned above, and others like drought and defoliation history, Preventive or remedial silvicultural treatments may be useful for reducing the effects of oak decline, and management objectives may need to be modified to avoid its consequences. These may include thinning early in stand history to reduce future competition-induced stress and to favor less susceptible species; reducing rotation age; regenerating other species and the control of defoliating insects.

Progression Drawing a Day (February 2013 Drawing a Day)
February 2, 2013 graphite and acrylic
February 1, 2013 graphite
My idea for February's drawing is to begin with a crude, simple drawing on a 9 inch by 7 inch sheet of paper. Then on the following day I will roughly trace the previous day's drawing and expand upon it. The orientation of the paper and exactly what part of the previous drawing is trace is up for grabs. Also up for grabs is medium/a as long as the last medium to be used on the previous day's drawing is the first to be used on the present day's. Sounds simple enough in my head. We'll see what happens.

On the 9th episode of SBS's "Survival Audition: K-POP STAR Season Two", after enduring the controversial SM-YG-JYP casting battle, the talented contestants entered into the next stage of the competition.
For the midway evaluation, Boa called the SM contestants to a pension and began a special type of training. SHINee's Onew and Minho came to the pension as special trainers, surprising the contestants with their sudden appearance. The contestants were delighted to see two true K-pop stars before their eyes.
After watching a girl group perform a dance number and Girls' Generation's "The Boys", Onew said he immediately thought that they were good. However, he noticed that the girls showed their all during their own parts, but were less sharp and polished when dancing in the back.
Next up was Andrew Choi, a composer and producer who works under SM Entertainment. Minho shared that he had met Andrew before because he did the vocal guide and produced a song for SHINee that has yet to be released. Minho said that even at that time, he was shocked to hear Andrew's singing ability, and he was even more shocked to see him on "K-POP STAR". Andrew sang an acoustic rendition of BoA's "Only One" and received a round of applause from SHINee and other judges.

text: The attraction towards art has always been a constant in Giulia Ori’s life.She was born on 4th March 1985 in Formigine (Modena, Italy) and she felt that attraction gradually becoming pure passion, thanks to the love for art that already bloomed during the elementary school. An evolution that took root on a fertile ground, created by her father’s deep interest for drawing and photography.Many memories of hers are connected to the childhood, such as the lovely days spent with her grandma in the countryside, a scenario that will be fundamental for the interpretation of her artworks.Giulia Ori’s art, in fact, is based on a return to the past whose outlines are blurred because of the passage of time. However, that past can still be perceived as close and accessible through the images. The mix of different materials and fabrics expresses the author’s imagination in a liberating act that totally releases her creativity.As in Impressionism – the art movement that Giulia loves the most -, her artworks are characterized by undefined shapes. An art that is able to tell about itself and, at the same time, to leave space for the viewer’s interpretation.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Congressman Randy Forbes has easily won the Republican primary for a seventh consecutive term from southeastern Virginia's 4th District.
Forbes, from Chesapeake, won nearly 90 percent of the vote in Tuesday's primary over political newcomer Roberta "Bonnie" Girard, a Petersburg businesswoman with experience negotiating American trade contracts with China.
Girard campaigned partly on a claim that Forbes is naive in his outlook toward China, the lone Communist superpower and a major U.S. creditor.
Forbes defends his seat this fall against the winner of a Democratic primary in the same district between Chesapeake City Councilwoman Ella Ward and Joe Elliott, a Colonial Heights minister and small businessman.
The district stretches from Hampton Roads westward along the North Carolina border, then angles northwestward, taking in some of Richmond's southern suburbs.

Im going to run speeduino on a odd fire V twin, Yamaha 1600cc Roadstar. I already have a throttle body installed with 4 pin IDLE and 3 pin TPS and a aingle 950cc injector where the Carburettor used to be. However nothing else have been installed yet.
The stock ignition is wasted spark with a single 15-9 trigger wheel with a VR sensor. I ordered a 15-4 wheel from a Yamaha warrior for wider resolution. Its a straight swap so I figured its the easiest way.
The Cam Sync.. i'm trying to decide where to put it. I already have a 1gt101dc hall sensor and was wondering if I could possibly put it on the valve cover right above a valve rocker arm Hopefully the speeduino has a minimum of 5V during cranking? 1gt101dc needs minimum 4,5V.
Another thing Im wondering about is the single injector for 2 cylinders. This will be a sequential ignition and injection, so the single injector will have 2 channels for best operation, and since its a big injector the fuel pressure will be regulated to the manifold pressure. However is it safe to tie 2 channels to 1? Should there possibly be diodes on there before I join them?
Thanks everybody for an awesome project and forum! And thanks in advance if anybody wants to help out

I have just done my first proper travelling since before the pandemic, visiting Singapore and Vietnam.
It was a great trip, and I was especially struck by how easy it was to make all the arrangements by mercilessly using apps on my smartphone.
To start with, I booked our long-haul flights on my phone, as the airline offered a small discount for using their app, which also checked us in at Heathrow (no queuing at the counter) and sent our boarding passes to our phones.
In Singapore, our COVID vaccinations were checked using the NHS app. We’d
booked our hotel using the Hotels.com app and our taxi came from the Grab. com app, the local Uber equivalent.
In the hotel, and many restaurants, the menu was visible only by our scanning a barcode app, which made it appear on our phones.
Next stop Vietnam. Sitting in our hotel room in Singapore, we used the Trip.com app to book flights, hotel and a car, to collect us from the airport. Trip.com
sent confirmations and boarding passes to our phones.
The owner of our Vietnamese hotel organised all our trips on his phone. I hope he got commission; he was very helpful, as was everyone there. To someone of my generation, with memories of the 1960s, it’s extraordinary that Vietnam is now a holiday destination. I shouldn’t be surprised – it is a very beautiful country. It’s also developing fast; my advice would be to see it sooner rather than later.
Back in Singapore, we had to change hotels mid-stay, which was again all arranged through the Hotels.com app.
Throughout our trip, all messaging and phone calls (worldwide) were done using WhatsApp (free, but smartphone required) and we read British newspapers every day, just as at home, on our phones. I also downloaded a book to read. The photos we took
with our phones were all stored online for later.
On the plane home (check-in and boarding passes all by phone, again), we could have used the onboard Wi-fi to
check our emails, but that seemed a step too far. We were on holiday, after all.
In short, apps ruled the roost. No paper was involved, no clipping tickets, no thick wadge of documents filling our wallets and no infuriating conversations with faraway call centres. It was all on the phone.
These clever digital developments come at a price. Smartphones are not cheap to own or run and if the battery goes flat, you are snookered. A portable power bank (a spare battery), with an appropriate lead, is important. I’d take two leads, as at least one will die or get left on a plane (both happened to me).
Please don’t make my other stupid mistake. I ran up a £75 bill on my phone in the first 12 hours before I discovered, buried deep in my provider’s website, that their charges in Singapore were ruinous. The answer is to buy a local SIM card for a few pounds and remove your British card.
That aside, it all went very smoothly – but then I am fairly adept at this sort of digital interaction. I worry that my experience may be a little disheartening for some Oldie-readers who have yet to get to grips with a smartphone in any depth, if at all, and may have no desire to.
I fear they will soon find themselves excluded from many opportunities, as the digital grip of modern life tightens around us.
Travel is already both more difficult and more costly for those without a smartphone and I’m afraid the situation will only get worse. Intrepid oldie travellers should master a smartphone.
