Gas vs. Diesel: Which is Better for Your Medium-Duty Truck Applications?
Diesel has been the traditional engine for medium-duty utility trucks. But with Ford, GM, Isuzu and other OEMs recently launching new gas-powered models, utility fleet professionals have more options than ever to consider. Recent volatility in fuel prices has changed the equation as well.
So, which is better – gas or diesel? The answer is, of course, “It depends.”
Diesel engines use about a third less fuel than comparable gasoline engines and are particularly well-suited for high-idle situations where gasoline engines don’t perform as well.
But gas-engine trucks cost less to purchase, and maintenance is usually less expensive. On the other hand, diesels tend to have a longer useful life and retain more value at high mileages when they are released from the fleet, according to George Survant, an experienced fleet consultant.
Element (www.elementfleet.com), a national fleet management company, has seen a rising interest in gas-engine trucks from fleets that have used diesels in the past.
“Recent fleet experiences are suggesting very strongly that gas engines – besides being less costly on acquisition – can be more easily and cost-effectively maintained, and that overall their lifespan is about equal to diesel depending on the application,” said Mark Stumne, Element’s director of truck services.
Fleet replacement cycles typically are around nine years, so the choice between gas and diesel can have a long-term impact on a utility’s costs. And with rapidly advancing technology, the answers may change by the next time a fleet invests in new vehicles.
Beyond the Fuel Pump
The ramifications of the gas-vs.-diesel decision go beyond which fuel pump the driver uses. Maintenance and life-cycle costs should be part of the decision tree as well.
In some use cases, diesel trucks are still the clear winner. If the truck will be towing heavy loads, such as excavators on a trailer, or covering many highway miles, the diesel’s high torque and fuel mileage make the most sense. Diesels are still the go-to option for power-takeoff operations for snowplows, generators and hydraulic accessories, like bucket lifts.
However, the two-stage emissions control system on modern diesels presents some challenges. A diesel in a high-idle application, such as operating a PTO system, doesn’t reach a high enough temperature to properly activate the diesel particulate filter. The DPF emissions system can then become clogged with ash, leading to breakdowns. Preventive maintenance could include running a forced regeneration cycle to ensure the emissions system is cleaned properly, Survant said.
Gas-powered engines don’t operate as well as diesels in high-idle situations, and manufacturers are beginning to recommend additional preventive maintenance, including more frequent oil changes to prevent problems.
Historically, a rule of thumb said diesels would last about 250,000 miles compared to gas trucks that were good for around 150,000 miles. Improvements in gas-engine durability mean the life-cycle gap between gas and diesel is closing. Survant noted that if the rest of the truck is ready to be taken out of service at 100,000 miles, it doesn’t make sense to invest in a 250,000-mile engine.
In addition to the lower cost of acquisition, opting for gas engines can pay off in daily operations. They use fewer, less expensive filters and consume less oil, which is cheaper than oil for diesel engines.
“Switching at least some vehicles to gas can simplify maintenance and may actually reduce training costs for technicians,” Stumne said.
Lastly, fleet managers should understand the reliability of their fleet – how often vehicles break down and how long they’re out of service. Unscheduled downtime can lead to using contractors or unreliable backup trucks at a critical time. Every hour an electric or water line is out of service can cost thousands of dollars.
“You may discover that the cost to repair the vehicle in many cases is far less than the impact to your core business,” Survant said.

5 Factors to Consider
Picking the right gas or diesel vehicle for the task will help to minimize downtime, repair costs and fuel costs while enabling drivers/operators to perform their roles effectively and efficiently. Don’t just look at the acquisition but also the entire life cycle of the asset. Here are five specific factors to consider before you invest.
1. First cost. Diesels carry a higher MSRP than gas-engine trucks.
2. Work mission. Road mileage, towing/hauling capacity, idling time, PTO usage and other factors can tip the scales in one direction.
3. Maintenance and repair. Diesels tend to fail less frequently but are more expensive to fix when they do break down. Maintaining diesels requires adequately trained technicians and the appropriate tools, spare parts and lubricants. Looking at costs per gallon of fuel burned is a useful way to analyze maintenance costs.
4. Vehicle life. Examine replacement cycles to see how long trucks last. Invest in diesels when it makes sense for the work mission.
5. Local regulations. State and local regulations in California and other places discourage the use of diesel fleet vehicles or recommend using biofuels.

Vitamin D has numerous vital functions. Probably the most important are regulating the absorption of phosphorous and calcium, and facilitating normal function of the immune system. Getting an adequate quantity of the vitamin is essential for normal development and growth of teeth and bones, as well as enhanced resistance against some diseases. If your body does not get sufficient vitamin D, you are at risk to develop bone abnormalities like osteoporosis (fragile bones) or osteomalacia (soft bones). Here is a summary of health benefits of
Vitamin D is essential for the health of muscles and bones. It has direct positive effects on the bones and muscles. Besides, it is vital for the absorption of ingested phosphorous and calcium. If you do not have sufficient Vitamin D, you do not appropriately absorb phosphorous and calcium, which has harmful effects on muscles and bones. If you are short of Vitamin D, you are at risk for osteoporosis. You are capable of developing muscle pains and aches, which frequently gets misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. Vitamin D is an efficient treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia.
Vitamin D is vital for the usual functioning of the immune system. It can facilitate the immune structure to fight off diseases like flu, tuberculosis, and common cold, to mention just a few. Vitamin D helps in regulation of the immune structure and might be efficient in preventing autoimmune infections such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes, M.S. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and lupus amongst others. Also, Vitamin D has anti-cancer characteristics and might prevent several cancers, particularly cancer of breast, colon, and prostate.
Furthermore, Vitamin regulates the mood. Thus, it may treat as well as prevent mood disorders like depression. Vitamin D reduces tension and stress, regulates blood pressure, relieves body pains and aches by reducing the muscle spasms, minimizes respiratory disorders, assists in cell differentiation, aids in secretion of insulin, helps in fighting depression, boosts overall health of the skin by minimizing wrinkles, makes skin strong, smooth, and soft, and boosts cardiovascular strength through offering a protective lining for blood vessels.

Famous Vietnamese actor invests in Ho Tram real estate
Duc Tien, a famous Vietnamese actor, has invested in a house in the Long Island subproject of Novaland Group’s NovaWorld Ho Tram Tourism, Resort and Entertainment Complex.
The information was revealed by the actor during his recent visit to the project in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
“When coming here, I believe that I am too lucky with the random choice as it brings an unexpected satisfaction to me,” he said.
Impressed with planning and amenities
When Duc Tien visited Ho Tram more than 10 years ago, it was still an untouched land, without large resorts as well as any services that meet tourism and entertainment needs. Living in the U.S., through media channels, he learned that Ho Tram was home to an increasing number of tourism real estate projects.
The actor said on this return trip to Vietnam, he accidentally met an old friend who introduced him to some Novaland projects, including NovaWorld Ho Tram-Long Island.
“The name of Long Island sounds attractive as it makes me think of Long Island in the U.S. As a person who loves nature, especially seas, I immediately decided to choose a home on Long Island right after my friend’s introduction,” Tien said.
He added that he had decided to “put down money” before visiting the subproject. In addition to being impressed by the scale and uniqueness of Long Island shared by his friend, he also has a very firm trust in the brand of Novaland with its existing high-class tourism real estate products.
“Coming to NovaWorld Ho Tram, I was really surprised at the services and planning here. Besides Novaland's huge financial investment, I also see the developer's wholeheartedness in each project,” Tien commented.
The actor's second home is located in Long Island, part of the NovaWorld Ho Tram project, which is described as a “resort paradise” on the 1.7-kilometer Ho Coc beach, adjacent to the Binh Chau-Phuoc Buu primeval forest.
The subproject is connected to the blue sea through a 10-meter-wide lagoon system that takes sea water to houses. Thanks to that, yachts can dock on your doorstep.
Long Island consists of three compound areas surrounded by a lagoon system, making it both private and connected. All houses have a water view, helping residents fully enjoy the beauty of nature.
In addition, Long Island also inherits hundreds of world-class entertainment, accommodation and resort facilities of the NovaWorld Ho Tram complex, including Tropicana Park, Binh Chau natural hot spring and helipad.
When asked about his experience in investing in resort real estate, Tien said: “In my view, individual investors should visit the projects they are interested in. This is very important as it helps us understand the land, where our real estate is located.”
“Visiting NovaWorld Ho Tram, I found myself lucky. Even though I riskily sealed an “online” contract but luckily, I chose a house I like. I also came to the beach in Long Island, a smooth sand beach with very clean water. The atmosphere here is great,” he said.
Tien added he chose the Long Island subproject of NovaWorld Ho Tram because of another important factor - location. It only takes him about 90 minutes by car from this house to Ho Chi Minh City or his hometown - Dong Nai province.
In future, there will be five highways connecting to a 42-meter-wide coastal route. The increasingly improved air and waterway transport system will help NovaWorld Ho Tram easily connect to key economic regions.
Therefore, Tien believes that the place will become a high-class tourism-resort-entertainment complex, bringing prosperity to the entire region.

Wisdom teeth are large molars and require enough space to fit properly in the mouth. Often there is not enough room left for these final teeth, causing them to put pressure on the existing teeth. This can create misalignment of the teeth, undoing expensive dental treatments or cause pain. If it is determined that there is not enough room for the wisdom teeth to safely emerge, we may advise removing them to avoid possible interference with the other teeth.
Extracting Impacted Wisdom Teeth
In some cases, the wisdom teeth can become impacted in the gums. This can cause them to grow horizontally instead of vertically or not emerge from the gums at all. When this happens, it can cause many different issues, including sinus problems, infections, pain, teeth misalignment and more. Impacted wisdom teeth need to be removed to protect the oral health of the patient.
Wisdom teeth removal can be stress free when you come to Horizon Dental Care for your procedure. We have experienced, caring dental professionals that will walk you through every step of the process so you know what to expect. We have sedation options, and if all four wisdom teeth are being removed, most patients prefer to be sedated. We offer oral conscious and IV sedation for invasive procedures like wisdom teeth removal or oral surgery.
Your oral health and comfort are important to us at Horizon Dental Care. If you or your teen need wisdom teeth removal, you can trust us to provide the best care available. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

Joyce’s semi-autobiographical story of growth and freedom chronicles the protagonist Stephen Daedalus’ life as he moves from being an infant to a university student to a seemingly independent artist. While it sheds light on the difficulties an artist has to face to be self-determining, it does so through depicting the stronghold national, religious and familial institutions have on any individual existence. A narrative rich in local detail, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man delves into the Irish society’s psyche and its struggle to win an identity separate from the colonising English culture. The novel offers numerous beautiful moments of epiphany, not just for the hero but also for the reader.
Writing at a time when the Celtic revival was at its peak, James Joyce was conscious of the Irish separatist tendencies for an exclusive culture, denouncing the English and their language. A Portrait brings out clearly the anxiety of a relatively less nationalist and more internationalist author, in that it refuses to raise any one language or culture or nation above the other. Both Ireland and England are shown to have their set of weaknesses, both languages are proved insufficient of capturing human experience and both cultures are considered binding power structures abortive of an artist’s growth. Unlike the other works of the Irish revivalist literature which sought to valorise everything Irish over anything English, Joyce follows the dictum of portraying the Irish society, flaws included. This makes him a successor of W.B. Yeats, whose play The Countess Cathleen was booed by the Irish public for a realistic portrayal of Ireland that is, shorn of nationalistic glamour.
Stephen Daedalus, named after the great artificer Daedalus and identified by many with the novelist himself, is constantly in a search of an artistic identity. In the process, we see Stephen taking on various kinds of identities- formed through religious, sensual and national discourses- and finding each to be restrictive to his true self. Thus, Joyce presents (t)his Kunstler roman (in English- “artist’s novel”) as a rejection of all excesses that enmesh the potential artist and a moderate acceptance of both the feminine and the masculine principles inherent in the status of a “creator”. Even as the hero Stephen goes abroad in the end, he is still bound by heredity, by language and by ideology to his roots. Such a reading of Stephen’s inefficacy as an artist has evoked commentary on the portrait Joyce paints as rather a caricature. There have been many interpretations of this multi-layered novel and with each re-reading the novel has something new to offer, as revealing as the Joycean epiphanies that his characters experience in almost all of his works.
Although obtuse at times, A Portrait nevertheless is an opulent study of individual psychology (through the Modernist “stream-of- consciousness” technique which takes us into Stephen’s mind), linguistic premeditation, national politics, religious hypocrisy and of course that which makes its presence felt throughout the novel- sexual impulsiveness. If not for the contextual understanding of the Irish society that Joyce lived in, the novel must be read for its innovative use of language, for the sardonic humour, and for the exquisite lyrical passages that belie a linearity of meaning. Whether Joyce himself has been able to become that portrayed independent artist is a question to be studied, meanwhile a reading of his wonderful novel is surely recommended for any person appreciative of beauty.

OJJ to temporarily move juveniles from troubled Bridge City facility to Jetson Center in Baker
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - There is a plan in place to temporarily move some of the most violent juveniles in Louisiana to the Jetson Center in Baker.
The Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) will temporarily relocate young offenders from the Bridge City for Youth in Jefferson Parish to the Jetson Center. The Jetson Center currently operates as the Louisiana Institute for Women (LCIW) and houses female inmates.
The plan is to rotate about a dozen juveniles at a time to complete upgrades and renovations at Bridge City, a place that has seen 20 escapes and large riots within the past year.
Even though officials have had a lot of trouble keeping inmates inside the facilities, some lawmakers say there is a secure way to make this work and to make sure the young boys and women inmates remain segregated at Jetson. Sen. Patrick Connick explained this situation in an interview in June.
“I know it’s a women’s facility but there is a way to segregate the boys from the women inmates. It’s secure, that’s coming from the governor, but I think that needs to be done immediately. The governor promised to get that done in three months,” Connick said.
However, neighbors who live near the Jetson Facility fear trouble will come.
“We don’t need that over here, man. I have a family I need to take care of and watch out for. Not only family but people I’ve been knowing my whole life,” Howard Jones said.
Jones explained further doubts about the plan.
“I’ve been knowing this facility my whole life and been around it. I know guys that have broken out, and when they break out the first place they come is this way,” Jones said.
“We know the results. We know what they’ve done in the past,” Umar Bey said.
As of Monday, no inmates have been moved yet, but some feel community members should have had a chance to give some feedback.
“It should be a community study first, talk to the community and get their input first before you bring these types of offenders in this neighborhood,” Bey said.
In the meantime, Jones said all they can do is hope for the best.
“Just pray to God that they don’t let an escape or riot happen,” Jones said.
According to Sen. Regina Barrow, they will be notified once they begin to start moving the juveniles. She also said she will closely monitor the situation to ensure OJJ is upholding its commitment.
WAFB reached out to OJJ for comment. They promised to get back to us after the publication of this story.

In hotels and on cruise ships, breakfast is frequently served as a buffet, not least because not all holidaymakers choose to eat their first meal of the day at the same time. Lunchtime can also be quite flexible, hence maybe another buffet. There could be one at dinner too, at least for starters and desserts. Cafes and restaurants often have buffets, too.
Knowing how to benefit from a buffet is the key to making a meal of the experience.
What's so good about buffets?
Simple: what you see is what you get: it’s like looking at a 3D menu – and if it’s a good display, it’s more appetising than words printed on paper or card, and a lot more appetising than garish colour photos of food hanging outside a café. As well, not only can you see the food, you can also smell it – and that’s appetising, too.
Another good thing is that the dishes on display are ready to take to your table. No trying to flag down a waiter, then waiting whilst your order is cooked. Plus you decide portion size, by taking as much or as little as you like.
So far, so good.
Some of the food may have been on display for a while – albeit kept warm – so, although freshly cooked for the meal, it won’t be just cooked, and that can reduce its appeal. And some items, such as a grilled steak, for which precise timing is of the essence, don’t (or certainly shouldn’t) feature on a buffet at all.
Other users helping themselves may not replace lids, which serve to keep food hot; and may muddle up serving implements – although watchful staff can correct this.
If what you want is a popular choice, you might have to wait for a refill to appear.
What's the best way to start?
As obvious as it sounds, by looking at what’s there, which also means taking notice of items that might be on a small table or counter separate from the main display.
The best approach is to make a slow circuit before you take a plate and start to fill it. After all, if this were a printed menu, you wouldn’t order the first item before even reading what else was on offer. Don’t get caught out because you jumped the gun. Once you know what’s there, and where to find it, you can start putting your meal together.
And if it’s a walk-around display, rather than a single counter, don’t assume that one side mirrors the other, because you could miss out; and seeing someone at the next table tuck into your all-time favourite when you’re halfway through a plate of something you like less, but settled for, won’t make you happy.
What should you look out for?
A printed menu, which may be on display at the entrance to the restaurant or dining room, to help you decide what you want. A menu should also tell you what’s in each dish. On-the-buffet labels such as ‘chicken casserole’ or ‘veal ragout’ don’t give much guidance to those who don’t like, or can’t eat, certain ingredients. If in doubt, or a need-to-know case, always as a member of staff for clarification.
- An omelette station at breakfast time, because this is a dish that must be cooked to order, and you get to choose what’s in it. Often the chef here will also fry eggs just the way you like them.
- By the same token, there may well be a pasta or stir-fry station at lunch time. These options ensure a hot, freshly cooked dish exactly when you want it.
- A carving station if a roast is on the menu. This may well mean a tastier option is on offer, as meat dishes on a buffet will often come in a sauce because that will help to keep them moist.
- Refills. If a dish you fancy is running low, stand back and wait for someone to bring more, fresh from the kitchen. If you’re sharp-eyed, you can take a seat at your table and keep watch, whilst you enjoy your first course.
- Your vegetable preferences. Often, the chef will decide which vegetables go with, say, a fish dish, and which best compliment braised beef, for example – but if you don’t agree, there’s no reason not to mix and match or swap accordingly. It’s all there for you to choose from.
How often can you go back?
Well, no-one’s counting, so this is really up to you; just remember, waiter-free or waitress-free meals are not calorie-free!
And if you’re planning on having, say, three courses from the buffet, that would mean going back twice. Piling the first two courses onto one plate isn’t a good look. Neither is bringing your dessert back to the table when you’ve also got the soup that you’re having as a starter, and your main course, on the tray.

Finally, a word about good buffet behaviour!
Maybe it’s just me, or perhaps you’ll agree: buffets bring out the worst in some diners. Let’s face it, apart from Billy Bunter, who would read through a restaurant menu featuring three different starters, a choice of four mains, and six assorted desserts then tell the waiter, “I’ll have everything please, and plenty of it!” ? And worse still, who would also tell him, “Bring it all at once!” ?
A buffet is a menu. It’s not a feeding frenzy free-for-all, or a competition to see who can pile the most food on a plate, and the most plates on a tray. If someone normally has one course at breakfast, two at lunch and three at dinner, selecting their meals from a buffet shouldn’t be seen as a green light for eating twice as much. After all, tomorrow is another day.

Remarks as prepared for delivery by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Managing Director at the World Bank, at a panel discussion on Climate-smart Agriculture on December 7, 2011.
I am delighted to join you today for this critical event about the future of our planet.
I am pleased to be in such distinguished company: President Zuma, Secretary General Kofi Annan; Chairperson Ping ; Prime Minister Meles; Minister Solheim, and Minister Joemat-Pettersson.
Feeding Africa and the world in a changing climate is one of the major challenges of our era.
- This month, the world’s population reached 7 billion people.By 2050, there will be 9 billion people in the world. We already know that we need to increase agricultural production by 70 percent to feed this many people.
- For Africa the challenge is staggering.Demand for food will rise by 200 percent by 2050, while yields, in the absence of urgent action, will be falling 20-30 percent.
- Yet, agriculture remains Africa’s life blood. Over 70 percent of Africa’s population is involved in farming, and the vast majority are small-holders and women. Cereal yields in Africa remain less than a quarter of global average and have barely increased in thirty years.
Improving agricultural performance is the most powerful tool we have to reduce global poverty and hunger
- In fact, it is about three times more effective in raising incomes among the very poor than growth in other sectors.
- But investment in agriculture and rural development has fallen short in the last several decades, and we must continue our collective efforts to reverse that trend.
- In Africa and beyond, we need agriculture that will strengthen food security, adaptation and mitigationwhere farmers use proven conservation agriculture techniques together with innovative technologies such as drought and flood tolerant crops, improved early warning systems and risk insurance.
- We need agriculture that can contribute to sequestering greenhouse gas emissions and capturing carbon in the soil. We need agriculture that can move from being part of the problem to part of the solution
- Currently, agriculture emits about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and indirectly another 17 percent
Climate-smart agriculture can help achieve this
- "Climate-smart" farming techniquessuch as mulching, crop residue management, and soil and water conservation measures, would increase farm productivity and incomes, and make agriculture more resilient to climate change, while also contributing to mitigation.
- This is a "triple win" for agriculture, the environment and food security. Innovative approaches are already in place in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi and Niger, as well as in Yemen, China, Brazil and Mexico.
But to realize its full potential, climate-smart agriculture needs heightened attention in African policy processes and strategies, from national to regional levels.
- Leading scientists from 38 countries agree. In the Netherlands last month, experts were united in calling on the negotiators in Durban to recognize and support the potential that Climate-Smart Agriculture offers.
- And African leaders already know that early action is needed to identify and scale up best practices, to build capacity and experience, and to help clarify future policy choices.
- Africa – under the leadership of Jean Ping, Chairperson of the African Union Commission and others - is leading the wayin putting this issue on the political agenda and focusing on early action under the CAADP process for Africa.
- In September, the Government of South Africa hosted a meeting of African Agricultural Ministers who noted the opportunity of a "triple win" for African farmers, and called on the parties meeting here in Durban to establish an agriculture work program that puts people first and covers both adaptation and mitigation.
- We can discuss many different approaches to support climate-smart agriculture, but clearly what we need is early and wide-scale action.
The rest of the world must follow Africa’s lead and find new ways to support a climate-smart approach to agriculture.
This is about nothing less than transforming agriculture so that is becomes part of the solution. Urgent action is needed if we are to meet the needs of the future.
- Almost 1 billion people are going to bed hungry. We need collective action to boost agricultural production and productivity and also efforts to improve distribution networks, so people have food security by getting access to the food they need.

Krispy Kreme has made an investment into its logistics, by employing a new store delivery solution system.It means the company will control and have a more informed idea of which stores need which products, in a bid to increase sales revenues and demand forecasting.Krispy Kreme workers will be supplied with mobile devices that can capture real-time delivery and collection information.This means on-shelf availability can be managed for over 650 locations from a remote location.Unscheduled deliveries can also be managed, so that the company is able to deliver to its UK locations on a daily basis.The new system is powered by ZetesAres, and the company hopes that Krispy Kreme will reduce development timescales, deployment costs and the complexity associated with introducing new software in the future.Nicola Fisher, systems manager at Krispy Kreme, said: “Our investment in ZetesAres will ensure stock management and replenishment is completed efficiently in real-time, allowing us to scale operations quickly as the number of our sales outlets continues to expand. By opting for a fully managed service, Krispy Kreme has immediate access to an advanced supply chain technology infrastructure to help increase revenues, with minimal impact on our existing IT resources and capital expenditure.”
Up to 5,000 roles may be made redundant at travel sites operator SSP due to the devastating impact of the coronavirus outbreak.With very few people passing through airports and railway stations, almost all the company’s sites, which include Uppercrust and Starbucks units, have been shut down. As a result, the business has seen sales crash 95% year on year in recent months.SSP said even plans to introduce ‘air bridges’ would bring only a slight increase to short-haul travel, and the number of long-haul flights was expected to remain very low. With social distancing measures in place, recovery in rail passenger numbers, currently down about 85%, was expected to be slow, it added.As a consequence, the business predicted it would only have reopened 20% of its UK sites by the autumn and revealed it was starting a major restructure.SSP today (1 July) warned that, if the pace of the recovery continued at the current level, this could lead to up to around 5,000 roles becoming redundant from head office and UK operations.Only the UK part of the global business has been affected by the plans, because of expected faster recovery, the longer durations of furlough support or contractual lay-off arrangements in other parts of the world.“Covid-19 continues to have an unprecedented impact on the travel industry and on SSP’s businesses in all geographies,” said SSP group CEO Simon Smith. “We are beginning to see early signs of recovery in some parts of the world and are starting to open units as passenger demand picks up.“However, in the UK, the pace of the recovery continues to be slow. In response to this, we are now taking further action to protect the business and create the right base from which to rebuild our operations.”Smith added that the business would ensure it retained the flexibility to ramp up operations and quickly reopen sites if sales improved over the summer.“The medium-term prospects for the group remain positive,” he stated. “The objective of the action we are proposing today is to ensure that we manage through this pandemic, rebuild our business as demand recovers and, in time, deliver long-term sustainable growth for the benefit of all our stakeholders.”While group sales were down 95% in April and May, they have recovered slightly and were down 90% in June, thanks to increases in Continental Europe and North America.
After being nominated by President Donald Trump in May, the U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Notre Dame law professor Amy Barrett as a federal judge, the Notre Dame Law School announced in a press release Tuesday.Barrett, who will serve as a judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, graduated from Notre Dame Law School in 1997 and has been a professor in the School since 2002, the press release said. She was named the Law School’s “Distinguished Professor of the Year” by the students in 2006 and 2016 for her work as a professor of constitutional law, statutory interpretation and in the area of federal courts, the release said.“Amy Barrett has been a beloved teacher and outstanding scholar,” Nell Newton, dean of Notre Dame Law School, said in the press release. “I am confident she will be a wise, fair and brilliant jurist as well.”Barrett’s jurisdiction covers Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin.Tags: Amy Barrett, Federal judge, Notre Dame Law School

Dr. Joe Hits a Postal Nerve: Playing Football with Baseball Bats?
Last week I posted a commentary on the Economics and Research Center notes about the recent financial results announcement of the U.
By Dr. Joe Webb
Published: August 18, 2008
Last week I posted a commentary on the Economics and Research Center notes about the recent financial results announcement of the U.S. Postal Service. The post was up only an hour and I started to get responses. Some of the comments are below. For space considerations, I had to create composites or shortened versions of the comments, as many of the writers cited the same issues. I have made them anonymous, but I did respond to as many as I could personally. Even then, this is longer than a blog post should be, but since an Internet page is theoretically infinite, I have taken advantage of that.
Your article truly shows your age and ignorance when it comes to the USPS and pricing. Complaining about the ONLY self-sufficient Government Organization that does not use tax dollars is truly a waste of print and brain matter.
First things first: my age and my ignorance. For the former, I guess you have not looked at my picture or seen me lately. For the latter, my ignorance is born of experience.
In the 1970s and early 1980s, I ran a mail order business to pay for various college and other expenses. I did marginally well at it, but sold it when it became to much to handle despite its small size. I had become fascinated with direct marketing in 1978 when someone at the Direct Direct Marketing Association allowed Manhattan College's marketing department to send some students down to Direct Marketing Day seminars. I was the only one to go, and in that one day I learned about using response rate calculations, campaign planning, list purchasing, and the biggest question of the day: whether or not toll-free phone numbers could help your business. In the late 1980s and through the 1990s, our consulting business mailed anywhere from 5,000 to 30,000 mail questionnaires every year. We've used all kinds of mail services over the years, and I will never forget when the Harrisville, Rhode Island postmaster called us in 1990 and said “Your business reply envelope permit has been approved. Your permit number is zero, zero, one.” Yes, we were the only BRE account in all of Harrisville, Rhode Island, and ditto for our prepaid Express Mail account. We were big postal fish in what was more of a puddle than a pond.
The U.S. Postal Service still does receive taxpayer funding, but it has been reduced dramatically over the years. In the latest legislation, the USPS bears the full costs of its pensions. The Postal Service Fund, which reimburses the Service for costs of providing universal service to geographic areas that would otherwise not have them and services such as “free matter for the blind,” is the smallest in recent years, and will eventually be eliminated except for some very limited amounts. It took almost 40 years to get this far, but there remains some taxpayer support.
As far as a waste of brain matter, are you sure you're not part of my extended family? They've been saying that for years about me.
COMMENT #2 (from a USPS employee):
I was trying to reconcile your access to reports and comments from the Postmaster General and your misinformation about costs from other shipping couriers. Before the Postal Enhancement Act went info effect, we used to be more expensive in some areas than some of our competitors. But since the act went into effect and because they have an open pricing structure that allows them to change their prices any time they want to, they have become more expensive than us in both their base pricing and when you take into account their surcharges or a myriad of various "extras" like fuel, residential delivery, address corrections, pick up fees, Saturday delivery etc.
In my opinion, this is the biggest irony. My original comments were on a blog that was not printed, cited in an e-newsletter that would not likely be profitable in print form, and all of the comments to me sent via e-mail rather than in hard copy, with my responses sent in the same form, with a cost below a penny for each transmission. That is what is truly amazing. You can actually “put your two cents in” for less than two cents, actually a lot less that 42 cents, and have it delivered in seconds rather than days.
Until the Postal Service, and members of the printing industry, firmly grasp that their competitors are digital media and not UPS, FedEx, or DHL, they will be attempting to play a sport with the wrong implements. You can't play football with baseball bats, but that's what they seem to be trying.
The Postal Service needs to be freed from its regulatory shackles, especially its pricing. Pricing is not set by the market, but by its costs. Costs change in relation to the demand for goods. The USPS does not have the ability to detect demand in a free economic sense. When prices are set by customers who decide what the value of service is, only then will postal operations be truly rational to its mission.
You stated, “Perhaps [the decline in postal volume] was their price increases in the face of constant price reductions by their new competitors.” What sources are you getting your data from? Please refer to these links about fuel surcharges from FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
There is no fuel surcharge for digital media and communications, and the prices for it keep going down. In so many ways, it is virtually, if not totally, free.
Eighty-five percent of every dollar that the USPS takes in, goes to labor costs. These costs are constantly rising due to collective bargaining. The USPS no longer receives a tax subsidy to operate, and works strictly off of the money it raises. Furthermore, the USPS does not work off of fixed costs either. When gasoline goes up just one cent in this country, it means an $8 million increase to the Postal Service. The USPS does NOT pass these costs on to the consumer as UPS and FedEx does in hidden surcharges. Let me finish by performing a simple illustration of inflation in this country. In 1945, what was the price of a cup of coffee? It was 5 cents. Today, you will pay anywhere from $1.25 to $3.00 for that same cup. How much was a newspaper? They were 3 to 5 cents. The New York Times costs how much today? The fact that for less than half a dollar, you can send a mailpiece from NY to Hawaii is AMAZING!
Thanks to the new postal legislation (passed in 2006), the USPS will now raise rates every May. You can bank on it. The good news is that the increases will be much more predictable and smaller in size than in the past. The new "Intelligent bar code technology" will allow advertising mailers the luxury of following a mailpiece throughout the postal system (from induction to delivery), helping to target customers more efficiently and profitably.
For a quasi-governmental agency that literally has it hands tied behind its back, I would say that the Postal Service is not only doing a great job under the circumstances, but will be here for a very long time to come.
Thanks to new postal legislation? Thanks? Really? By allowing postal rates to be set by the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculation of inflation means rather than consumer's needs and preferences for their services? This means that postal rates may very well go up 5% next year. Unlike other businesses, such as the printing industry, there is no ability to raise its prices in that manner. The printing industry has to compete with all other dollars in clients budgets, and as we know from the Producer Price Index data, the prices of printed goods have not kept up with inflation for many years. In fact, because mailing clients look at the total costs of a campaign, the rate of postal increase (and paper price increases, but that's another story), are crowding out the dollars available to printers.
More important, however, is that the costs of communications are constantly decreasing, as are the costs of the devices needed to access them. The devices are getting better and more robust as well, with more capabilities and greater reliability.
Hidden surcharges? The charges are plain to the eye. It's called an invoice and a rate book. Perhaps what is really meant is predictability of those prices. Floating surcharges are a problem, but there is actually great transparency about the process.
As for new bar code technology, I submit that if the postal service was a freely operating business that its adoption of technology would have been faster and deeper than it has historically been because of the urgency to compete and satisfy customers in a competitive marketplace. The primary reason for the success of UPS in recent years was that they stopped comparing themselves to the USPS and realized that FedEx was eating their lunch. UPS has made massive investments in technology, and their package tracking is rather incredible. When I ship something by Priority Mail with tracking, I will only find out days later that it was delivered, whereas with UPS, I can see when it's on the truck and exactly what day it will be delivered. Parcels and mail are quite different, but it's interesting to compare how moderately similar tasks are handled by different organizations.
As far as sending a letter to Hawaii for 42 cents, does that really matter any more when we can send information faster and cheaper? What's more amazing is that I can call Hawaii for free, using Skype and get video as part of the call. THAT's amazing.
As far as costs going up because of collective bargaining, there are two sides to the negotiations. Both of them have good reasons to perpetuate the current systems. The only vote the customer has is whether or not they use the service. Postal volume per household has been going down for years, so they obviously participate in that way. At some point the volume will get to the point where one of the sides will blink.
First of all the USPS has gone down the wrong path when they started looking at FedEx and UPS as competition. The main goal of the USPS is to provide universal service for communication to all residents of the United States. It is not a business but a service provided by the Federal government. To salvage the service changes like five day delivery for businesses and three day delivery for residential homes must be incorporated in any future solution.
There was a time when universal service could not be achieved in any other way. Today, with land line, cable, cellular, wifi, satellite, and other forms of technology (like WiMAX) soon to be deployed, there are choices that were never available. I wonder if anyone has calculated if it is actually cheaper to give computers and printers to rural customers. It might very well be worth doing so, and have semi-weekly deliveries of other goods. The option may not be viable at this very moment, but it might be, especially as Millenials grow older and more influential in their use of non-print communications.
And if that's the case, postal volume may just erode to a point where this discussion is meaningless in retrospect. Unless the Postal Service is deregulated, meaningless may well come sooner than anyone wants.


Local archers were on target March 10 at the National Archery in Schools Program State (NASP) tournament held at Penn State University.
Susquehanna Community senior Kaylee Landry registered a score of 296 out of 300 to claim the top High School Girls spot and held the highest overall score of both male and female divisions.
“She’s very dedicated to the sport and thoroughly enjoys it,” said Susquehanna Coach John Ord.
After just missing to qualify for Nationals a year ago, Landry set her sights on accomplishing that task. “Leading up to states we often practiced a couple times a day,” noted Ord.
Montrose’s Mercedes Strohl also finished in the top ten of the High School girl’s division with a score of 285 to claim seventh place and lead the Meteors High School team to a fifth-place finish.
Montrose Area teams and competitors also came away with some hardware. The Montrose Area Middle School and Lathrop Street Elementary teams both took first in their divisions. The Lathrop Street point total of 3149 became the highest score in the event’s history.
Montrose 7th grader Madilynn Rhinevault claimed top honors in the Middle School division,
Rhinevault finished with a score of 295 to claim the overall Middle School title and second overall in the tournament behind Landry.
Rhinevault was joined by teammates Makenzie Krupinski (285) and Hannah Rebello (279) on the top ten middle school female list.
She credited the support behind her for her success. “My dad and the other coaches have spent a lot of time coaching us,” said Rhinevault.
In the Elementary division Lathrop Street Elementary claimed the team title and Choconut Valley finished fifth.
Lathrop Street was led by Aiden Sprouse (282) and Ava Castrogiovanni (271) who finished at the top of the male and female divisions. respectively.
Sprouse was joined in the male top ten by Mark Hawk (264) who finished fourth and Joshua Starzec (263) who came in fifth. Elk Lake’s Camden Ruark finished seventh with a score of 261.
Sprouse felt his ability to control his breath was a key factor in finding success at the tournament.
“I make sure I take deep breaths,” said Sprouse. “Sometimes, I think I’m going to swallow my tongue.”
Lathrop Street placed five others in the top ten of the female division as Hailey Aukema finished just behind Castrogiovanni with a score of 270. Alanna Welsh (262) was fourth, followed by teammates Abigail Rozell (260) in sixth; Carley Frey (257) in eighth; and Ava Bell (254) in ninth.
Max Stashko (246) paced the Choconut Valley entry finishing 15th in the male division, while Hailey Hollenbeck (228) was their top elementary female finisher.
In the male division, Montrose’s Julian Johnson finished sixth with a score of 282.
In the High School division several other local archers finished in their division’s overall top 20. Montrose’s Zachery Oleniacz finished 12th in high school boys and was the fourth highest junior. He was joined by Elk Lake’s Ethan Brown who finished 20th.
On the girls’ side Montrose freshman Mia Amorino finished 14th and was the fourth overall freshmen female. Her teammate Jennifer Tometchko finished 16th and was the sixth-place senior female.
The teams and individual qualifiers will prepare for the national tournament to be held in Louisville, Ken.

As Ghanaians, and Africans in general closely await this year’s presidential race for the United States, they are wondering what the policy of either party’s candidate — Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or Republican candidate Donald Trump — would look like toward the region.
Barack Obama, being the first U.S. President with familial links to Africa, has made some achievements towards the continent. He introduced Power Africa, which aims to add 60 million new electrical connections to light up the continent.
Mr Obama also launched the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which mentors and funds projects for ambitious young people.
The president also paid several visits to sub-Saharan Africa and helped expand trade to the continent.
It appears that ever since the two current candidates began their campaigns, African policy has not really been a priority topic for them.
The campaign team of each candidate, however, has dropped hints as to how they would approach Africa as president.
So as America prepares to vote on November 8, many have said that whoever is elected in November will determine America’s foreign policy generally and her approach to Africa specifically.
READ ALSO: What will it mean for Ghana if Trump wins?
Trump has already proposed radical moves, including limiting the number of Muslims allowed into the US.
He also intends building a wall on the border with Mexico to stem the flow of illegal immigrants from Latin America.
His administration would, at the very least, be hostile to immigration, but what would a Clinton administration mean for Africa?
Political analyst, Etse Sikanku had earlier told Pulse.com.gh that a Trump administration is going to make sure that America is more strict on illegal immigration.
But Tom Daschle, a former Senate majority leader believes that Clinton would have a very different perspective on immigration than her opponent, Trump.
“We believe in immigration. We think that immigration is really the reason why we celebrate the diversity and the strength that is America. And the more we can embrace immigration, the more we believe we have an opportunity to help create stability around the world, in addition to enhancing their own diversity,” he said.
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
And as far as immigration goes, US statistics show from 2004 until 2013, numbers of Ghanaians in the USA who have obtained lawful permanent residence has increased from 5,337 people in 2004, when George Bush was president, to 7,610 in 2008, his last year. Under Obama, from 2009 the number was 8, 401 in 2013, (the most recent number available) there were 10, 265 Ghanaians given permanent residency.
The number of Ghanaians naturalized in the USA has also increased significantly under Obama. Under Bush in 2004 there were 3, 577, under Obama, in 2009 the number was 4, 819 and in 2013 5, 105.
However, those Ghanaians caught to be illegally in the country have increased under Obama, in 2004 there were 135 people this jumped to 422 in 2009, however, in 2013 the number dropped to 272.
2. Clinton appears to have a relationship with the continent and would likely work with the Clinton Foundation to fight AIDS and support other educational initiatives.
3. Hillary Clinton is also expected to improve capabilities in crisis response and provide protection of civilians, particularly, women. This follows Trump’s sometimes ‘disrespectful’ comments against women.
4. US aid to the continent is probably likely to increase since the Clintons are believed to have a love affair with the continent which stretches back to Bill Clinton’s presidency and continued with the Clinton Foundation’s work on the continent.
As Ben Payne, the head of Africa at risk advisory firm Verisk Maplecroft writes, if Clinton wins, “African presidents will still be invited to Washington, and the US will carry on providing security assistance.
But she will also face constraints. The cry of ‘America first’ may not be quite loud enough to put Trump in the White House – but the pressures of domestic politics will affect the choices a President Clinton makes on Africa.”
5. Hillary Clinton happens to have championed the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, together with the Europeans.
Even though Barack Obama believes the move is the “worst mistake” of his presidency, Hillary Clinton said that she “think[s] President Obama made the right decision at the time”. But what would her stance mean for Africa if she is voted into power? Already, the overthrowing of governments in the Muslim world has opened up a vacuum which keeps being filled by extreme Muslim groups like the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and others. Many fear that a Hillary win will bring up such a type of foreign policy for North Africa, and the Middle East in particular.
6. Clinton to commit to peace enforcement on the continent than Trump.
Hillary is expected to intervene in conflicts on the continent that might need American’s attention. And Hillary being the hawk she is, many believe she will definitely intervene in Darfur or the Central African Republic because black West Africa, even though might not be of interest to the US in financial terms, will surely be of interest to it in terms of human interest. This is because the US would like to see that people of the Darfur & Central African Republic regions have peace once more.
However, there appears to be a limit to how far she would go in responding to a crisis, such as renewed civil war in Democratic Republic of Congo following President Joseph Kabila’s refusal to step down.
7. AGOA likely to face an uncertain future
What the future of the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) will be would be of great concern to African businesses. As Ben Payton, the head of Africa at risk advisory firm Verisk Maplecroft writes: “African leaders will be reassured by Clinton’s frequent praise for the legislation, and concerned by Trump’s pledge to scrap trade deals that hurt American manufacturers.”
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a United States Trade Act enacted in 2000, and has since been renewed until 2025. The legislation significantly enhances market access to the US for qualifying Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, of which Ghana is one.
AGOA builds on existing US trade programmes by expanding the (duty-free) benefits previously available only under the country’s Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) programme.
Ghana has through AGOA exported millions of dollars of products to the USA, and been able to import products from the USA in return.
The future of AGOA currently remains uncertain, even though many argue that a Clinton win will bring positive results.
So, as Americans heat up for the race tomorrow, November 8, 2016, it is easy to assume that a Hillary Clinton presidency will continue with the current US policies towards Africa. But would her win run the continent into a promised land that is favourable to all? The aftermath of the November 8 elections will tell.


text: The final and oddest of J.S. Bach’s 20-unusual kids, P.D.Q. Bach started his musical profession in obscurity and embarked upon an unsteady march into utter oblivion. He spent the majority of his adult lifestyle in the tiny German city of Wein-am-Rhein. It had been a village practically bereft of lifestyle, a predicament that had not been improved by P.D.Q. Bach’s existence. The composer do sometimes encounter and steal suggestions from regional folk groups, such as for example Tommy Mann and his Magic Hill Kids, for whom he published his Bluegrass Cantata. About 150 years after his demise, American composer and prankster Peter Schickele found out the manuscript of P.D.Q. Bach’s Sanka Cantata being utilized as a espresso filtration system, and thereupon dedicated his main energies to disinterring additional ratings. Since 1965 he offers documented and performed them with orchestras of significantly less than impeccable requirements. P.D.Q. Bach’s unnaturally huge as well as perhaps artificially improved catalog includes functions for such uncommon tools as windbreaker and bike, even though compositions which have emerged before few decades possess featured even more traditional ensembles. P.D.Q. Bach was discouraged from pursuing in his father’s and elder brothers’ footsteps, although as an adolescent he was apprenticed for a while towards the inventor from the musical noticed. He didn’t start composing music himself until 1770, as well as perhaps as a result of this past due begin he became what Schickele phone calls a “manic plagiarist.” Not merely do he steal music from his contemporaries and previously composers, but he in some way anticipated melodies that might be created lengthy after his loss of life, including American pop and folk tunes. His profession continues to be split into three intervals. The first, known as Initial Plunge, created such functions as the Echo Sonata for just two unfriendly sets of instruments as well as the Gross Concerto. The Soused Period, which makes up about the majority of P.D.Q. Bach’s profession, noticed the creation from the Concerto for horn and hardart, the Pervertimento, and Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, an opera in a single unnatural action. Finally emerged Contrition, a short era that found the composition from the cantata Iphigenia in Brooklyn as well as the Sonata for viola, four-hands. His catalog also contains such substantial functions as the dramatic oratorio Oedipus Tex, the Royal Firewater Musick, the opera Einstein over the Fritz (which just the annoyingly recurring prelude survives), as well as the 1712 Overture, which anticipates a number of the most severe mannerisms of Tchaikovsky while displaying no proof the afterwards Russian composer’s melodic present.

A Lake County Illinois Grand Jury refused to bring charges against a store clerk who shot a robber.
The Peoples Market was robbed at gunpoint about 7pm. The robber took the money and went outside to his getaway vehicle, a bicycle. The clerk grabbed a gun from under the counter and went to the door to see which way the robber went. At that time, the robber rode the bike past the door and the clerk shot him because the clerk thought the robber had his gun in his hand and the clerk felt his life was in danger. (source)
A radio version of this story also noted that the robber’s accomplice got away with some of the money. The accomplice has not been identified.

text: Recombinant MS2- or beta gal fusion proteins containing parts of hepatitis B virus (HBV) HBx-, HBc-, and HBs-amino acid sequences were expressed in Escherichia coli and were used to screen 96 and 60 serum samples of HBV infected and uninfected patients, respectively, for the corresponding antibodies by immunoblotting. Antibodies against HBx were detected in 20 out of 65 sera of patients with previous resolved HBV-infection, in 3 out of 7 patients with persistent infection, and in 9 out of 24 sera of patients with acute HBV infection. The specificity of the immune reaction was confirmed by competition experiments with MS2- and beta gal-HBx fusion proteins, and by the lack of HBx antibodies in the sera of uninfected patients. Hbs and HBc antibodies were detected less frequently by immunoblotting with recombinant fusion proteins than by a commercial immunoassay. Our results indicate that HBx antibodies are induced early and frequently during HBV infection suggesting that the HBx protein is an early antigenic protein expressed in vivo.

With the row over smuggling of liquor and excise losses to the state exchequer refusing to die down in Punjab, the Excise and Taxation Department Friday conducted stock-checks at 15 distilleries across the state, including those owned by CM Amarinder Singh’s aide and former Cabinet minister Rana Gurjit Singh and another one by a business family associated with deceased liquor baron Ponty Chadha’s group.
After stock checking at all 15 distilleries, Principal Secretary, Excise and Taxation, A Venu Prasad transferred all Excise and Taxation
Officers (ETOs) and Excise Inspectors incharge of these distilleries with immediate effect. Prasad confirmed to The Indian Express that the department had done the stock checking in the distilleries.
A senior functionary of the Department, however, downplayed the stock-checking and said it was a “routine” exercise. “It should have been done in the past in March, but it was not conducted due to curfew in the state,” he said. He, however, refused to say anything on why the transfers of ETOs and Inspectors had been ordered.
Sources said the action followed reports that many distilleries had been brewing liquor during curfew and lockdown under the garb of manufacturing hand sanitisers.
The liquor contractors have lately been alleging that the distilleries had sold the liquor in black market thereby causing a loss to the state exchequer. They have been accusing the distilleries of supplying liquor even during the curfew ruing that when the vends opened they did not experience any rush of liquor buyers.
The issue of excise losses was also raised by Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal at the controversial meeting on excise policy in
which the ministers walked out on Chief Secretary Karan Avtar Singh.
Later, CM’s Advisor Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, in a series of tweets, levelled allegations of conflict of interest against the CS thereby demanding his removal. The CM, who is also Excise Minister of state, divested the CS of the charge of Financial Commissioner, Taxation.
Only two days ago, Raja Warring, who was accompanied by PPCC president Sunil Jakhar and Cabinet Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa to a lunch meeting with the CM, had again raised the conflict of interest issue of CS. Sukhjinder Randhawa had raised the issue of distilleries selling liquor in black.
In the backdrop of this row, the government conducted the stock-checking on these distilleries.
On Thursday, the department had conducted a search at a distillery in Rajpura.
The checking Friday was conducted at distilleries in Banur in Mohali, Kiri Afghana in Gurdaspur, Hamira in Kapurthala, Amritsar, Bathinda and
Tarn Taran. While Chaddha group owns a distillery in Kiri Afghana, Rana Gurjeet Singh has it in Tarn Taran.
The department had also recently detected three illegal distilleries in the state and found that these were preparing liquor from Extra Neutral Alcohol supplied by the licensed distilleries. The state government had allowed the distilleries to manufacture sanitisers during curfew in view of Covid spread.
“As of now, the checks are going on. I cannot pinpoint the exact distilleries at this juncture that were involved in black-marketing. I
will get the report tomorrow and then we will know,” the senior government functionary said.

Dolomite Bio launches new hydrogel focused reagent kits, enabling high-throughput encapsulation of cells in hydrogel scaffolds. The nadAROSE and nadia3D kits address the needs of researchers exploring both agarose encapsulation and collagen- based hydrogel projects for the 3D cell culture space.Current methods for constructing hydrogel scaffolds involve costly, time consuming, ‘home brew’ batch methods, with few commercially available solutions. For this reason, Dolomite Bio is launching the nadAROSE kit for the encapsulation of cells in agarose and the nadia3D kit for 3D cell culture research. Both kits are complete, standardised, and reliable solutions, containing all the single use, prefabricated consumables needed for scaffold production on the Nadia Instrument.
Most importantly, both kits can offer control over mono-clonality, giving researchers access to a variety of downstream workflows, such as, cell secretion studies, cell-cell interactions, microbial cell culture. Furthermore, the nadAROSE kit is compatible with cytometric analyses. The nadia3D kit opens up downstream workflows in: the development of novel culture techniques for fastidious cell lines, disease modelling, identification of novel drug targets and pharmaceutical screening.Nadia Shakir, Production Manager for Dolomite Bio said this about the upcoming launch ‘Researchers are bottlenecked by the lack of commercial solutions for 3D cell scaffold production, with nadia3D and nadAROSE, this barrier is removed’Get in touch with Dolomite Bio’s Single Cell Experts to discuss how they can help you construct the future of single cell research with the nadAROSE or nadia3D kit today: https://bit.ly/3x9QSi3

A collective in Mexico City takes back land and builds homes together. Los Panchos responded to escalation of housing prices by occupying vacant land in 1988. Their biggest challenge was to “defeat our fears,” reported activist Enrique Reynoso. They built the El Molino neighborhood, starting with wood and cardboard houses. The settlers are anti-capitalist and anti-state, influenced by the Zapatistas to want to transform the world, but they resist ideological labels like socialist. The landowners called in the police resulting in battles with the squatters that led them to learn basic medical skills. They also formed community patrols to keep police out and the crime rate dropped to almost nil. The community built schools, health and sports facilities, all governed by local assemblies. Neighborhood representatives to the larger community rotate. The homebuilders negotiated with landowners to buy the land at an affordable price. By 2016, the number of occupied neighborhoods expanded to 10 settlements with over 9,000 residents.

Kate Bush CBE (b. July 30, 1958) is a British recording artist, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Her career began in the late 1970s, and she is still releasing albums. Still most famous for her debut single, an arrestingly shrill and typically individualistic reimagining in song of the novel Wuthering Heights, also entitled "Wuthering Heights," Bush has also made hits with "Running Up That Hill" and “Babooshka," among many others, and retains a loyal fan-base.
Bush has a reputation for reclusiveness, and in the latter part of her career her album releases have customarily been many years apart. However, in 2010-11 Bush bucked this trend by releasing three albums, including the Christmas-themed Fifty Words for Snow, whose title track featured the voice of humorist and dilettante Stephen Fry.

It’s a movie script ending for Death Cab For Cutie’s The Photo Album, or at least a deluxe reissue 20 years on. The band will give their third full-length album a 35-track repackaging in honor of the anniversary.
A favorite with many fans of the band’s earlier material (but, apparently, not a favorite of frontman Ben Gibbard), The Photo Album captures the Bellingham, Washington group on the brink of mainstream success, but not quite there yet. Twinkly guitars and lyrics from lovelorn to angst-ridden are central to the album’s sound. Bassist Nick Harmer remembers it as a turning point for the band.
“Should we quit our day jobs and really go all-in making music, or should we slow it down a little bit?” he recalls asking. “We decided to go all-in.”
The Photo Album, first released October 9, 2001, will be remastered and bundled with the original demos and a slew of covers and rarities. That includes The Stability EP, covers of Bjork’s “All Is Full of Love” and The Stone Roses “I Wanna Be Adored,” previously unreleased material.
The physical reissue will feature the remastered album with a 12-inch record of The Stability EP and be limited to 5,000 copies on clear, 180-gram vinyl. Like the original release, when the band’s label, Barsuk Records, was plagued with distribution problems, this record comes into a world with increasingly absurd waitlists for vinyl manufacturing. Perhaps due to that fact, the vinyl reissue is expected in spring of 2022.
The digital reissue will be out 10/29. Preorder The Photo Album (Deluxe Edition) here.


text: September 12, 2017 Automatic for the whole market ‘For a pharmaceutical manufacturer on the other hand, in the most severe case normally it takes three a few months before they are able to supply products that are out of stock,’ says Heidi Dreyer at SINTEF Society and Technology. ‘For essential medications, such as with the bird flu and serious influenza epidemics, there may be advantages in cutting this time down. ‘The pharmaceutical companies themselves will profit by being better able to supply products quicker.’ When the extensive study researchers commenced the AUTOMED project three years ago, they wanted to integrate this demand and create a system where automatic product supplies could connect with the entire pharmaceutical industry, like the pharmaceutical manufacturers.Once pneumonia can be confirmed by the physician, the tool automatically provides a calculated severity assessment and also management recommendations, which include diagnostic tests and antibiotic selection, predicated on current North American pneumonia treatment guidelines. Due to the complexity of pneumonia, physicians can't quickly make consistent decisions that follow current treatment recommendations, said lead author Nathan Dean, MD, a chief and pulmonologist of critical care medicine at Intermountain INFIRMARY. The total result, doctors have to depend on their unaided judgment on how to best treat pneumonia sufferers.
