A pair of Cameroonian conjoined twins are finally living independent lives after a 20-strong team of French medical experts spent 5 hours performing a complex surgery to separate them.
The one-year-old sisters, Bissie and Eyenga Merveille, were in a stable condition after the procedure ended on Wednesday at l’Hôpital Femme-Mère-Enfant in Bron, close to Lyon, the third largest city in France.
The miracle babies’ mother Laurel, did not receive antenatal care during her pregnancy. The twins came as a bit of a surprise when they were born last year as their mother had not known she was expecting twins — let alone omphalopagus twins, who are joined at the lower abdomen. It was a long and painful delivery.
Rejected by the girls’ father and members of her family, the twins’ mother Laurel fled her town, Ayos Centre Region of Cameroon to the capital Yaoundé some 140 kilometers (87 miles) away, where she and her daughters took refuge at a hospital where they lived awaiting the operation.
In many cases, surgical separation of omphalopagus twins can be successfully completed.
According to a health site, Very Well Family, “the prognosis for omphalopagus twins varies depending on the twins’ individual circumstances. Almost half are stillborn. For those that survive to be delivered, many face life-threatening complications.”
The outcome is determined by the degree of connectivity; omphalopagus twins that share vital organs are more likely to succumb to complications. The more that twins share, the more difficult it is for them to survive or to be surgically separated.
Bissie and Eyenga Merveille partly shared a liver according to a statement from the hospital in Lyon.
They were brought to France for the life-changing procedure by the charity organization La Chaine de l’Espoir.
One of the girls has been diagnosed with a heart condition, which will be operated on later, the charity said on its website.


Please Pray Heed the words of their Majesties:
In these interesting and uncertain times we do everything we can to ensure that the kingdom is strong and healthy. We enjoy getting to see and interact everyone online. The kingdom has stepped up in a monumental way in the last several months in ways that we never could of imagined even back in February. We can not wait to get to see our wonderful populace in person. However the health and saftey of the kingdom and its populace come first. After much discussion throughout the kingdom and hearing from the populace we have decided that we must cancel King's Road / Baron's War this year. We have promised the kingdom that we will not have kingdom level events until all of our kingdom can attend. It does not look like that will happen by the time King's Road / Baron's War is scheduled to happen. It is with a heavy heart that we make this announcement. We encourage everyone to interact online when you can. There is so much great information being shared right now in the kingdom and throughout the society. We look forward to seeing you soon. Stay safe, Stay strong, and remember to wash your hands.

Voice Controlled Maze Game, 2012
Amazing is a tiltable labyrinth table game for two players which is controled by the pitch of your voice. Both players have to use their voices ( uuuuhhhhhh ) and find the right pitch to let the billard ball follow the pacour. But take care: avoid the holes in the table otherwise you have to start again from the begining.
Three main aspects of this work:
Team play: Every player controls one axis of the table that means just with a good team play the ball will reach the goal. Voice training: Learn to control the sound and the pitch of your voice. Physics: Explore the natural phenomen called gravity on a inclined survace.

Thursday night football is back tonight with a possible wildcard on the horizon. In an NFC East showdown, the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins face-off tonight in Dallas. Both teams go into tonight’s game with a record of 5-6. The last time these two teams played earlier this season, the Cowboys came out on top with a 33-19 victory.
Washington Looks to Rebound
The Redskins will travel to Dallas to battle the Cowboys. Washington is looking for another win tonight even though some players will be out. In order to win against the Cowboys, Washington is looking to Jamison Crowder, among others, to come out with a win tonight. Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is focused on the positives in terms of what his team can bring to the game.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) November 30, 2017
The Dallas Cowboys are looking to bounce back tonight in hopes of a wildcard. The Cowboys are currently on a three-game losing streak, but that could change tonight. Like Washington, the Cowboys are also going into tonight’s game with missing players. Both Sean Lee and Justin Durant are out with injuries which leaves the Cowboys at a disadvantage. Head coach Jason Garrett knows that tonight’s game will be a challenge for the wildcard with wide receiver Jamison Crowder playing against them.
Don’t miss live NFL coverage of this match-up starting at 8:00pm on 98.1 FM 850 AM WRUF. Kick off is at 8:25 p.m.


Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has called for kinder and gentler politics, following what had been "difficult years of minority government".
Mr Rudd used his first speech to parliament since re-taking the Labor leadership on Wednesday to confirm he had been commissioned by Governor-General Quentin Bryce as prime minister.
But he also acknowledged that political life is "a very hard life indeed".
"Occasionally it can be kind, more often it is not," Mr Rudd said, adding it had been that way since time immemorial and doubted it would change.
He asked MPs to remember, especially on days like this, that they were all human beings, had families and emotions.
"So let us try, just try, to be a little kinder and gentler with each other in the deliberations of this parliament."
Mr Rudd praised former prime minister Julia Gillard for her achievements including workplace reform and education funding and as a "standard bearer for women" as the nation's first female leader.
"Through the difficult years of minority government the former prime minister has achieved major reforms for our nation that will shape our nation's future," he said.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott agreed that politics was a tough business.
"But sometimes it's far more brutal than it should be," he said.
"Why was she dragged down last night?"
Speaker Anna Burke warned the opposition leader that a brief speech "on indulgence" was not the place for such lines of attack.
"May he elevate that office," Mr Abbott said of the new prime minister.

Have you or a loved one used a sunscreen product and developed cancer?
You may be eligible to file a claim against the manufacturer and receive economic compensation. Our products liability attorneys are investigating cases where anyone has developed cancer, or leukemia in particular, after using sunscreens that contained benzene. If you or a family member have been diagnosed with leukemia after using any sunscreen product, call our firm to learn about your legal rights as well as what steps can be taken to protect those rights. Montlick Injury Attorneys has recovered billions of dollars for our personal injury clients over the years through the settlement of lawsuits, litigation/lawsuits, mediation, arbitration, and jury verdicts.
According to an article published on claimsjournal.com, drug researchers have urged U.S. regulators to pull certain sunscreen products from the U.S. market due to benzophenone contamination.
According to the news report, popular sunscreen products made by Coppertone, Neutrogena, and Banana Boat contain benzene, a known carcinogen. The National Cancer Institute says that exposure to benzene can lead to leukemia and other blood disorders. As such, the health scientists urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to ban the sale of any sunscreen that contains “octocrylene,”a common ingredient in popular suncreen lotions that breaks down over time and produces benzophenone as a byproduct. Benzophenone is a photosensitizing agent that is used in many personal care products such as lip balm and nail polish as well because the compound protects against Ultraviolet light.
According to the Executive Director from Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, Craig Downs, benzophenone interferes with key hormones and reproductive organs. Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, a nonprofit laboratory, studies chemicals and how these chemicals affect human health and the environment. Mr. Downs stated that there are about 2,400 sunscreen products that include octocrylene as an active ingredient, and the octocrylene’s safety is not known at this time. Mr. Downs also affirmed that the FDA is not certain if octocrylene is safe or not.
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) classifies benzophenone as a potential carcinogen. This conclusion was reached through research conducted on animals. The WHO does not collect data linking benzophenone to cancer in humans. However, the WHO does affirm that “benzophenone in sunscreens can interfere with estrogen.” Estrogen performs an essential function in women’s health. When a woman’s estrogen levels are disrupted, this can cause early puberty and alter the functioning of a woman’s reproductive organs.
Concern about octocrylene and other chemicals in sunscreens began in 2019, when the FDA asked sunscreen manufacturers to give the agency safety data concerning octocrylene and other chemical ingredients used in their sunscreen products. Last May, Valisure, an independent pharmaceutical laboratory, reported that its laboratory detected levels of benzene in hundreds of sunscreen products. However, just a few sunscreen products were recalled. Benzene is a known human carcinogen, and it is highly absorbable through human skin, but exposure also can occur by inhalation, which often happens with sunscreen sprays.
The FDA lists benzene as a class one solvent, which means that it recommends against its use in the manufacture of drug substances, excipients (substances added to drugs such as fillers or preservatives), and drug products, because “because of [it’s] unacceptable toxicity” or “deleterious environmental effect.” However, when a class one solvent (such as benzene) is “unavoidable in order to produce a drug product,” it should be limited to concentrations of 2 parts per million (ppm).
However, Valisure has petitioned the FDA to provide greater oversight over the manufacturing of sunscreen, and its list of the 78 sunscreen products included the following popular brands, among others:
- Banana Boat
- Sun Bum
- Up & Up
An FDA investigation discovered that the body absorbs enough sunscreen chemical ingredients to support further testing. According to David Andrews, senior scientist for Environmental Working Group, there are no signs that the sunscreen manufacturers have complied and provided their safety data to the FDA, which requested the data nearly two years ago.
Courtney Rhodes, an FDA spokeswoman, said that the FDA takes consumer product safety seriously, and the agency is monitoring sunscreen products closely to ensure that safe sunscreen is readily available to consumers while the agency assesses the contamination issue.
Mr. Downs and Joe DiNardo, a former cosmetics industry toxicologist, teamed up with researchers from Paris-based Sorbonne University. The team tested sixteen popular sunscreen products from the United States and France that also contain octocrylene. Sunscreen products tested included Beiersdorf AG’s Coppertone Water Babies spray, Neutrogena Beach Defense spray, Edgewell Personal Care Co.’s Banana Boat lotion. The sunscreen products tested positive for benzophenone contamination.
The following sunscreen products have already been recalled by Johnson & Johnson:
- NEUTROGENA® Beach Defense® aerosol sunscreen,
- NEUTROGENA® Cool Dry Sport aerosol sunscreen,
- NEUTROGENA® Invisible Daily™ defense aerosol sunscreen,
- NEUTROGENA® Ultra Sheer® aerosol sunscreen, and
- AVEENO® Protect + Refresh aerosol sunscreen
However, it is important to note Valisure’s study detected benzene in batches of 78 different products, so any type of sunscreen should be scrutinized to determine if there is contamination. Scientists are not certain how benzene forms in sunscreen products, but believes the benzene contamination occurs in the manufacturing process.
The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will release its study on sunscreens soon. Recently, a presentation was given to the National Academies panel, which linked benzophenones to endometriosis, a painful condition caused by inner uterine tissue that begins to grow outside the uterus.

Yes, there hasn't been much happening on this blog for quite a while now. The main reason for that is that I moved and was rather worn out after moving about 140 shelf meters of comics, 60 shelf meters of books, and assorted other stuff that tends to accumulate as the years pass, and then trying to fit them into my new home in some sort of working order. (Haven't really succeeded with that part yet, I must confess.)
But having done at least the most necessary parts of getting the new house functional for my needs (se enclosed pictures at bottom of page), it is time to get some blogging going again. We'll start with an excellent children's comic by Joakim Gunnarsson and Johanna Kristiansson: Katten Nils & Morris – Den mystiska ön. If I understand things correctly, Gunnarsson is mostly responsible for the script and Kristiansson for the art.
Katten Nils – or, Nils the Cat – is a very popular comic strip in the Swedish children's magazine Kamratposten. Nils himself is not very intelligent, to say the least, but the strip's exploring of themes important to kids (mainly friendship and love, judging from the sample strips I've seen from it) has mightily endeared both him and the strip to Kamratposten's readers. Now, Gunnarsson and Kristiansson have staked out new ground with a book-length story about Nils and his best friend Morris joining cat-girl Semlan (who is in love with Morris and quite a bit bothersome, in Morris' opinion) on a ship to Semlan's aunt's coffe bean-producing island. The island is home to a volcano that threatens to erupt, so it's important to save as many coffee beans as possible. Semlan doesn't really want Nils coming along to disrupt her plans for some quality time with Morris, whereas Morris wants Nils coming along to disrupt any plans Semlan may have for quality time with him. And the adventure moves briskly along from there...
I was just a little bit wary of the depiction of Semlan at first, what with her being more interested in boys (well, Morris, at least – Nils seems a bit too loutish for her) and relationships rather than adventures. Now, I do think it's perfectly OK for both girls and boys to have different preferences, whether it's for adventure or for relationship stuff (and that it's more than a little bit stupid to try and force them to change their preferences based on what's the current fashion in society for what they "should" prefer), but I was a bit worried that Semlan come off as merely the classical girly stereotype – of which I've seen enough in many, many comics and movie stories already. Fortunately, I was proven wrong.
Not only are Semlan's feelings for Morris depicted with a lot of respect and compassion, both for the character and for those feelings, but she gets to show herself to be brave and knowledgeable in a manner that not only surprises Morris but also heightens his respect for her as a person. It works very well, and offers a nice model for the book's young readers how to treat others. (It's a nice model for grown-ups as well, but they're usually already too set in their ways to change, so if they're inclined to go with their prejudices rather than keeping an open mind towards others, reading a children's comic is hardly going to change that one iota.)
Now, I know Joakim Gunnarsson, so I know that he's an old comics fan-turned-pro and also quite the Bamse and Carl Barks aficionado – and it shows in the story. Not only is it a classical Bamse or Uncle Scrooge (albeit a little bit "childified" compared to the Barks variety) plot, but there are several Barksian references in the script as well. It works very well if you catch those references, and doesn't detract from the story if you don't.
I don't really know Johanna Kristiansson, I just met her briefly at this year's annual book fair in Gothenburg, so I can only say that she seems to be just about the nicest, most utterly charming person you could imagine, and that she does an excellent job with the art for this story. Kristiansson makes the characters move and emote with flair and gusto – vitally important for depicting both the adventure and emotions/relations aspects of the story.
This is a great children's book, and sufficiently well done that it isn't a waste of time for adult readers, either – even though they'll probably have to rely quite a bit on the child within to appreciate it, as it is pretty clearly a story aimed at kids.
And finally, as promised, a couple of examples of the interior decoration of my new home:

Use of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Correcting Fracture Angulation of Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures Post-Casting

D Ip. Use of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Correcting Fracture Angulation of Pediatric Distal Radius Fractures Post-Casting. The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery. 2019 Volume 27 Number 1.
Objective: The current clinical case series assess the use of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in correcting residual fracture angulation of distal radius pediatric fractures that occur despite casting
Materials and Methods: The patient cohort consisted of 21 consecutive unselected patients with pediatric distal radius fracture all with various degrees of angulation despite initial close-reduction and casting done in government hospitals. All the parents of the patients refused operations and refused further manipulation of the painful wrist of their child. All subjects were given soft wrist braces, together with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on alternate days for 8 consecutive weeks.
Results: All patients on serial X-ray checking not only had solid union of the incompletely consolidated fracture, but all had total or near total correction of their fracture angulation despite no manipulation performed. The calculated p value is statistically significant at p < 0.01
Conclusion: LLLT not only enhance fracture healing, it has the power to help correct fracture angulation to better re-model the partially healed and angulated pediatric fractures.
Fracture of the distal radius is a common fracture in the pediatric population. However, many a times, despite initial close-reduction and casting and after the cast being taken off at 4-6 weeks, it is not uncommon to observe residual angulation of the fracture and represents a common clinical problem. Traditionally, many clinicians would either consider operative intervention in the face of residual angulation or ask the parents to accept the angulation. However, not every patient consent for operative intervention, but accepting the angulation can cause disability in the use of the fractured upper extremity of the child. In such scenarios, we as clinicians still need to seek ways to enhance bony re-modeling using non-invasive methodologies.
The use of low-level laser therapy in promoting fracture healing of human fractures had previously been reported by the author  and also from clinicians in Taiwan . This study represents the first ever study to assess the clinical use of LLLT in enhancing the re-modeling of fractures in the pediatric age group.
Advantages of the use of LLLT in fracture healing is manifold. Firstly, the procedure is non-invasive and spare the patient an operative intervention. Operative intervention in general not only involve higher cost, but also it leaves the patient a surgical scar, complications sometimes occur after operation for delayed union such as infection, failure of metallic implants. In addition, a second operation is often required for removal of metallic implant in younger subjects. Secondly, the world literature on LLLT showed it is free of side effects, and have been in use in Europe over 30 years. Thirdly, LLLT administration does not involve higher cost, with the average cost of administration per session same as conventional physical therapy in the author’s institute. It should be noted that conventional physical therapy machines do not have bio-modulation effects as does LLLT , and thus cannot in effect promote the process of fracture healing.
Materials and methods
The study population consisted of a series of consecutive unselected 21
patients with a mean age of 10 (range 8 to 12) presenting with radiologically confirmed residual fracture angulation after fractured distal radius with close reduction and casting done in government hospitals. All of the patients had had not less than 4 weeks of casting done in other medical units but there was residual mal-alignment and incomplete bony healing response on serial radiological assessments. All patients who enter the study refused operative intervention which represented the main pre-requisite for study entry and all consent to the use of LLLT as well as soft wrist brace as the sole treatment modality. Other exclusion criteria include history of fracture of the same affected bone, open fracture, sepsis and significant associated soft tissue injury.
The study represented a prospective clinical case series. LLLT of 810 nm wavelength emitting from from GaAIAs semi-conductor laser device with 5.4 J per point, power density 20 mW/cm2 was employed. Irradiation was performed on alternate day basis. There was no control group in this study as seldom do patients present with bilateral delayed union of the same bony construct of the extremity. None of the patient nor parents consent to the idea of switch-over study where part of the treatment period was LLLT and part of the treatment being sham light source.
The end point of the current study was to assess the degree of re-modeling if any that can be obtained after use of LLLT. We also serially assessed the degree of overall satisfaction of the patient with the procedure by a score where 0 represents total dissatisfaction with the procedure, and 10 represented total satisfaction to be filled by the patient at the end of the treatment regimen which represented 8 weeks for the current study.
The study period spanned from 2015 to 2019 amongst patients attending two different medical clinics located in different areas in Hong Kong. The male:female ratio among the study population was 2:1 in this study. The mean time for correction of the fracture angulation without any form of manipulation was 6 weeks (range: 4-8 weeks) The mean follow up was 12 months. All fracture proceeded to have solid bone healing besides proper re-modeling.
As for the scoring of the degree of satisfaction, patients were offered brief guidelines of aspects they can take into consideration including: the ability of the procedure for symptom control, the power and appearance of the limb, the degree of pain, the activities of daily living, the ability to cope with school work The patients gave an overall score at the end of the LLLT treatment regimen. The mean score of satisfaction was 9 out of 10 at the end of the study period.
Table 1 below serve to summarize the characteristics of the patient population and the degree of fracture angulation. Fig 1 and 2 showed serial radiological appearance of one of the patients.
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) involves directing near infra-red lights to tissues with a view to improve healing and reduce pain in the field of Orthopedics. The main mechanism of LLLT involves its biochemical and circulatory effects, viz: the incident radiant energy of LLLT is being absorbed by the cell’s chromophore and this process usually involves the Cytochrome system , which in turn triggers a cascade of events stimulating ATP synthesis ; thus in this way the laser energy is transformed to cellular energy in the form of ATP and this aid in healing the injured body’s cells which are usually under oxidative stress. In addition, other LLLT actions include inducing an increase in DNA repair gene expression , besides also producing local vasodilatation believed nowadays to be mediated via the nitric oxide pathway .
As far as the role of LLLT in fracture healing is concerned; in the past decade, abundant laboratory animal studies had elucidated the possible mechanism whereby LLLT enhances bone healing. The mechanism involved is manifold, including the induction of osteoblast formation and differentiation via increase in bone morphogenic protein BMP2-induced phosphorylation of the Smad 1/5/8 pathway . The same author Hirata also demonstrated that LLLT could stimulate BMPs-induced expression of type 1 collagen, osteonectin, and octeocalcin mRNA. Histological studies  also confirmed intense new bone formation surrounded by highly vascularized connective tissue indicative of increased osteogenic activity on LLLT exposure. Lastly, other authors  also demonstrated improvement in the mineralization process via enhanced IGF-1 and BMP production.
The author is not aware of any previous clinical studies on the use of LLLT in assessing not only the enhancement of fracture healing, but also the enhancing of clinical re-modeling of fractures in these fresh mal-aligned pediatric fractures.
The current prospective study of a clinical case series of patients presenting with fracture angulation of the distal radius in the pediatric age group despite casting indicated that low-level laser therapy if administered correctly can on the one hand augment the bone healing process, and on the other hand re-model the fracture so that for the very first time in clinical medicine, correction of mal-alignment can be achieved without the use of manipulative forces. All patients tolerated very well this non-invasive form of conservative management at an affordable costs comparable to conventional physical therapy.

Differences in Prize Money for Men and Women: A Discussion with Iballa Moreno
Thanks to StandUpLatino.com for printing and to Starboard’s Iballa Moreno for speaking out on this often ‘pushed under the carpet’ and controversial subject between the differences in prize money allotted for men vs. women in SUP, Surfing and Windsurfing. Iballa, Winner of the SYLT Windsurfing Championship, Winner of the Spain National SUP Surf Championship and Second place finisher in the men’s division at Somo Spain this year, knows first hand the need for further exploration of this subject.
You can find the entire article in Spanish here: http://www.standuplatino.com/2012/10/prize-money-hombres-y-mujeres-la.html
Thank you Iballa for speaking up on this issue and as more women around the globe are competing and at times beating men in racing (Annabel Anderson at Oleron 2012) and SUP surfing… No doubt they will greatly benefit from more discussions like these.
The Article translated by Google here:
Iballa Moreno is our first female columnist, and who better to give a space to speak out female Latino SUP?
Real World Windsurfing legend, who was crowned world champion again this year (along with her sister have won world titles all windsurfing in waves since 1999!), Iballa has broken through her talent and style to Stand Up paddle as well. You just won the championship of Spain Somo SUP surfing, and admittedly … men fear to compete.
Ambassador and unmatched in women’s sports, Iballa shares her tremendous experience and way of seeing things here in StandUpLatino column.
Her first note reflects on the difference in prize money between masculine and feminine competition of the same sports as it is in windsurfing, surfing and SUP.
Should women be Paid the same prize money as men?
The sport was invented by and for men as a means of transmission of certain values (competence, aggressiveness, etc.) and as their physical development. For this, women had to overcome barriers created by social and cultural stereotypes. Having struggled (and indeed still fighting) against time and tide type ideas: women are inferior to men in sports, have less strength, their bodies are less masculine with sport, have no interest in the sport, some sports are appropriate for them and others are not … etc …
Even today, where women’s rights are fully recognized (although not applied) and which have passed laws that regulate and facilitate the practice of physical activity among females, the percentage of women who play sports, remains significantly lower than that of men. Yet it should be noted, that gradually, and differences are reduced by eliminating obstacles that prevent women from having total freedom in sports. The SUP is an example, female participation in the sport is not only significant, but in addition has increased remarkably in recent years.
I come from a sport in which I have to hear sexist comments almost daily. And lately the discussion focuses on finding Stand Up World Tour La Torche (in France) … or “Watermen league” as its name suggests … solutions to remain competitive despite the crisis. When the proposal raised more heard a solution to this crisis as: “should lower the prize money to women or even eliminate the women in some world.” Currently women in windsurfing are 15,000 Euros in prize money while the men 35,000 Euros.
Therefore the question of whether we should receive the same prize money as men, the answer is: Absolutely!!
1.-We live in a society in which men and women are equal in rights and obligations, therefore, contribute economically and socially, likewise, must receive the same opportunities and / or awards.
2.-Why should encourage women in sports, in order to reach the same levels of participation than men’s. As we know, the incorporation of women sporting life was rather late, as it was felt that sport was a “guy thing”, where the ban on women was evident.
3.-Because we participate with the same rules and the same conditions (waves, wind …).
Some of the arguments used by those who defend the idea that man receives highest award for women are:
1. – In the competition for men’s greater number of competitors, so it costs more to get to be among the first.
2. – They have more level than women.
3. – receive more support from sponsors because more “sold” than women.
4. -Men give greater spectacle.
Etc, etc. ..
And I, Given all this, I ask:
1. – How will we get the same level of participation that they, if not equally help us (awards, material, sponsorship)?
2. – How can we overcome the level, if we can not afford to devote exclusively to train and participate in competitions? Because of this lack of support.
3. – How can we sell more, if we have the opportunity to participate in many competitions, promotions, open … (generators and promotion news)? Because of this lack of support.
4. – How can we give more entertainment, if not much evidence as we have them? Because of this lack of support. Etc, etc …
The effect produced continuously “catch 22” or “the cat that bites its tail”
We’ve come a long way but there are many barriers to overcome …
I’ll take two phrases that encourage us to keep working, and warn us that we are on the right track:
“The courts, including the (tournaments) Grand Slam, is aligned with our modern and progressive society when it comes to the principle of equality.” (WTA)
“Be the change you hope to the world” (Ghandi).

They will help you save hours of frustrating, wasted searching, and let you zero in on the best material on this subject - like this article you're reading. Go on...
Although wild birds carry the viruses, they are usually unaffected by symptoms of bird flu. It is domesticated birds (chickens, ducks and turkeys) in which avian flu symptoms cause sickness and sometimes death. The symptoms of bird flu in domesticated poultry may be mild causing ruffled feathers and low egg production or severe causing disease that affects multiple organs and death in 90-100% of flocks in as little as 48 hours. It is believed that the degree of difference in avian flu symptoms is related to the strain of the flu virus infecting the birds.
Avian flu symptoms do not usually occur in humans, however 239 confirmed cases have been reported in humans since 2003, according to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO). 140 deaths worldwide have been attributed to symptoms of the bird flu.
Human cases of avian flu symptoms have been reported in many countries in Asia and the Middle East, but most have occurred in small villages and outlying areas of Indonesia and Vietnam. Most confirmed cases of avian flu symptoms in humans resulted from contact with infected domesticated birds or contact with surfaces contaminated by the feces and fluids from infected birds. The symptoms of bird flu in humans are typical flu-like symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough and muscle aches. But, in some confirmed human cases the symptoms of bird flu have included eye infections, pneumonia, severe respiratory diseases, acute respiratory distress and other severe and life-threatening complications. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) believes that the wide range of avian flu symptoms in humans may depend on which strain of avian bird flu virus the person was infected with.
Avian flu symptoms alone are not sufficient to confirm the diagnosis of avian influenza in humans or birds, because the symptoms of bird flu are so similar to typical flu symptoms and other viral infections. In order to make a confirmed diagnosis of avian influenza in humans, a swab of the nose or throat must be taken within the first few days after suspected symptoms of bird flu are noticed or two separate blood tests must be taken to confirm the presence of H5N1. One of a number of flu viruses that exist among birds. Only H5N1 flu virus is believed to cause the severe avian flu symptoms that have led to death in more than 50% of the confirmed cases.
While highly contagious among birds, avian flu symptoms are not easily transmitted by human to human contact. The only confirmed cases of avian flu caused by contact with an infected person have been among family members who remained in close contact with the person suffering from the symptoms of the bird flu. This is unlike seasonal flu and SARS which are highly contagious viruses among humans. The concern over a pandemic (worldwide spread) arises from the fact that viruses mutate. So, if the current avian bird flu virus were to mutate into one that was highly contagious then a worldwide outbreak of avian flu symptoms could occur.
If you do not have contact with birds that are infected with the avian flu virus and you do not take care of people who have contracted the avian flu virus, then you will not develop symptoms of bird flu from the virus as it currently exists. If the virus should mutate to a more contagious form, you can still protect yourself from severe avian flu symptoms in the same way that you would protect yourself from seasonal flu. While no one is sure why what appears to be the same virus would cause mild or moderate symptoms of bird flu in some people and death in others, it is known that a healthy human immune system can fight off most any flu bug in 7-10 days.

I wanted to ask you guys what you thought was the best drone/noise/ambient metal albums out there and why, but also what you thought were the best Earth albums.
I personally love Boris's work on Absolutego, Präparat, Flood, and their work that combines drone, noise, sludge, doom, etc., like on tracks like Just Abandoned Myself, Farewell and Blackout on the Pink album, or 鐘 (The Bell Tower of a Sign) on Heavy Rocks.
I also love their collab with Sunn O))) entitled Altar. Sunn O)))'s work on Black One, Monolith & Dimensions is also amazing.
I only have one album by Earth, which is HEX; or Printing in the Infernal Method, and I think it's great. I want to listen to more of their stuff and wanted to know what you guys thought of their work.
I also love bands like Corrupted which is very sludgy, or Fell Voices, that manages to recreate drone-ish atmospheres in their highly atmospheric, distorted and gritty black metal.
Bands like Leeches Of Lore and Agalloch who aren't renowned for their drone have also produced very interesting pieces in the genre. I recommend LoL's Giant Sloth album without hesitation, and while Agalloch doesn't have any straight out drone music, their Grey EP is pretty good, and I've always felt that Ashes Against The Grain is noise/drone oriented in many ways.
So, drone recommendations and favorite Earth album everybody?

asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether he will raise with Great Britain's EEC partners the legal requirements and code of practice which would apply to gas pipelines linking the United Kingdom and EEC countries; what representations, if any, he has had indicating their position on this matter; and what statements of policy he has made to them.

My right hon. Friend has had no representations from EEC countries, nor has he made any statements of policy on this subject. I see no present need to raise this matter within the Community.

In “Hush,” Erica plays Gina Rodriguez, a calculating aspiring Reality TV star married to a professional baseball player who yearns for the spotlight.
According to a statement from the network, Erica will appear in the forthcoming season of the series because production was completed months ago.
But, ALLBLK noted should the show be renewed for additional seasons, Erica Mena not be a part of the cast.
Read the full statement from ALLBLK below.
We do not condone Erica Mena’s recent reprehensible comment. She will be featured in the upcoming season of ‘Hush,’ set to premiere later this year, as production was completed months ago, but in the event of additional seasons she will not be a part of the cast.
See the original post below.
To be completely honest, this post feels performative and it looks like ALLBLK is using Erica’s mess as an opportunity to promote the forthcoming season of their show.
ALLBLK’s statement comes less than a week after Erica Mena was fired from “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” because she called Spice a “blue monkey” during a nasty verbal altercation.
Do you think Erica should be fired from “Hush?”

Sprinkler pumps pump water from a pond, shallow well, or other alternative source of water to irrigation systems. For those who want to save money on their water bill while still providing a sufficient supply of water to their property, an irrigation pump is the perfect solution.
Basic Pump Operating Characteristics “Head” is a term commonly used with pumps. Head refers to the height of a vertical column of water. Pressure and head are interchangeable concepts in irrigation because a column of water 2.31 feet high is equivalent to 1 pound per square inch (PSI) of pressure.
Submersible Pumps. In agricultural irrigation applications, a submersible pump is a turbine pump close-coupled to a water-tight electric motor, which eliminates the long drive shaft and bearing retainers needed for a deep-well turbine pump. The pump is above the motor and water enters the pump through a screen between the pump and motor.

Leslie and I went out and took some photos a couple of weeks ago, and these are the results: [nggallery id=20] Leslie brought some great ideas to the table and helped me to feel comfortable in the water and otherwise. For my first time being at the center of a photoshoot, I felt quite comfortable… Continue reading I did a photoshoot!
I’m have photos!!! I am so excited about this! Last night, Leslie shot some photos that I will be using to promote my musical adventures. She is an amazing photographer and also a joy to be around. We did several locations and one costume change. I can’t wait to see more photos (hopefully next week)!


Take a look at how these “concert technicians” have changed after all these years
We have the same stereotype in our head about these people. Don’t lie, we know the truth. Whenever the topic of a roadies comes up, you picture a man in his mid-30s with shoulder length hair and the biggest beer belly you have ever see on a human being. However, times have changed and so have these roadies.
This bunch spends majority of their lives behind the scenes as the artists take to the stage every night to perform in front of thousands of people. But that’s what matters right? The roadies take care of everything that takes place before the show. Everything from artist management, lights and light rigs, sound checks, upkeep of the instruments and much more are all taken care of by these people in the shadows.
In the past, there was the culture of roadies being heavily influenced by the rock n’ roll life style and by that, we mean drugs and alcohol. It was inevitable that one would be knee-deep in liquor and cocaine, but now its a different matter. The roadies today are efficient, professional and lean towards the more geekier side of the fence.
Its estimated that these technicians, who are in charge of sound engineering, road managers and tour coordinators, earn upto 175,000 dollars per year. That’s enough for them to save up for retirement and a SpaceX trip to Mars. The sum is quite large for a non-professional job but the work is as important as anything else.
This comes as a bizarre turn of events as the other jobs in the music business, like talent scouts and label heads, are slowly losing power while these unconventional jobs go on steadily. This makes a strong case for live performances for the artists who want more record sales which have also been dropping lately as compared to before.
But that doesn’t make their jobs any easier. True that the jobs are always available, but they need to know the ins and outs of their area of expertise to get it done well. That includes reading up on equipment, replacing strings and tuning instruments and some more.
With more technical aspects in the job, there has been an increase in the number of women in this culture. Even though it is still male dominated, women are being hired in this elite club and this shows how far they’ve come.
The regular encounters with musicians and celebrities is a given, but the travel is not that glamorous. The hours are long and the days too with tours being either nationwide or worldwide. This means a lot of time spent away from family, even though the team is one that makes up for it. Plus with all that travelling, they have tons of places to go. Sightseeing is an important part of the experience too.
Now there have been downfalls in this field as people lose their hearing due to the loud sound and other physical toll after a few years, but the pay makes up for it. There has been an increase in the number of freelancers too so that they can negotiate a better deal from the managers, suiting the benefits that both parties can agree too.
People are getting a glimpse into this life due to the launch of the show Roadies staring Luke Wilson, about the crew that takes care of every aspect of a live show. The show was cancelled after the first season but the culture is going to be there and so are these trusted technicians.
A big salute to these heroes!

CHRISTIANS in the Oxford Diocese are invited to join a mass lobby of Parliament on the issue of climate change. Thousands of people are expected to line the Thames on 17 June, to speak to their newly elected MPs, share with them a vision of a cleaner and greener planet, and urge them to make tackling climate change a priority. The lobby is organised by The Climate Coalition, which includes A Rocha, Christian Aid, and Tearfund among more than 100 members. An ecumenical service just before the event is being organised by the Christian agencies and denominations involved.
Why lobby now?
This year is a crucial one for anyone who cares about how creation will be affected by climate change. In December the world’s governments will meet in Paris to hammer out a deal on reducing carbon emissions and responding to the impact of climate change. It is hoped that this agreement will be the first to incorporate all UN member states, including both historically industrialised nations such as the UK and US and emerging economies such as China, India and South Africa. For this to work, all countries – including the UK – need to show leadership.
This September will also see the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals which, if creation care is included correctly, will go a long way to protecting the people most vulnerable to climate impact.
Christians have the potential to play a crucial role in advocating for agreements that protect the planet and help poorer communities to adapt – and have been asked to do so. At a recent meeting in Cape Town, Anglican bishops from around the Communion stated: “We call all our brothers and sisters in the Anglican Communion to join us in prayer and in pastoral, priestly and prophetic action.”
Individuals and church groups are participating in the “Pray and Fast for the Climate” taking place every first day of the month, installing renewable energy and protecting species in churchyards, exploring food sustainability through the “Food Matters” project, and advocating for sustainability at local and national levels.
The Oxford Diocese has also taken the lead in calling on the Church of England to disinvest from fossil fuels. Diocesan Synod passed a motion to this effect last November, and the Revd Hugh Lee will move it at General Synod in July.
The Church of England’s Ethical Investment Advisory Group has itself recently advocated disinvestment from the dirtiest fossil fuels, a move which the Revd Darrell Hannah, co-sponsor of the original Oxford motion, hailed: “The EIAG’s decision to disinvest from coal and tar sands is a good first step and a move in the right direction. Of course, I hope and pray the General Synod goes further and approves Oxford’s motion calling for disinvestment from oil within three years and natural gas within five.
“If they do not the Church of England risks being stuck with worthless and unsaleable assets as it is becoming increasingly clear that fossil fuels are not the safe investment they used to be.”
For details and to sign up to the lobby contact your local Christian Aid office in Oxford for more information at 01865 246818.

The Parker Easiflow Series comprises a wide range of inline mechanical flow measurement devices that are ideally suited for high-flow, low-pressure applications, including hydraulic fluid return lines and water processing systems. The flowmeters are non-intrusive (i.e., do not obstruct flow) and feature a clear glass body, which allows users to visually determine flow rate in a system and/or line. The meters can also be equipped with a magnetically-operated reed switch that’s capable of controlling valves and/or pumps, or activating alarm signals in the event that flow exceeds or drops below a pre-determined level set by the user.
Easiflow flowmeters are highly simplistic and versatile devices that utilize a variable-orfice aperature (i.e., variable area principle). The meters can work in any plane and feature an internal piston, which moves as flow rate increases, opening a larger area to pass flowing air, water or hydraulic oil. The design provides users with a direct visual indication of flow rate and serves as a highly reliable and economical method of measuring flow when compared with many other competing products on the market, including turbines or electronic measurement devices.
Multiple Easiflow models are available to meet the unique fluid flow requirements of customers’ systems. Flow rates range from 1 – 150 L/min (.25 - 40 GPM), with a maximum allowable working pressure of 10 bar (145 psi). All Easiflow devices are calibrated for both oil and water and feature accuracy and repeatability of +-5% full scale defection (FSD) and +-1% FSD, respectively.
For information regarding compatibility with corrosive fluids, contact a Parker Filtration representative.

11th Century Jain Temple of BairanPalli, Telangana.The temple locally known as Angadi Veeranna gudi is a Jain Temple.
Angadi Veeranna gudi Jain Temple:
According to a stone inscription setup in front of the temple, during the period of Chalukya King Tribhuvanamalladeva (Vikramaditya VI) of Kalyani dynasty, Biramaraddy, a Dandanayaka of Bhuvanagiri and two Karanams of Bekkallu had installed the Jaina image (on Chalukya Vikrama – 32, Sarvadhari Samvatsara Vaishaka, Shuddha Panchami – Bruhastathi varam = 1108 AD) and donated Mango garden as well as lands for repairs of temple and feeding of the ascetics.
The temple which is facing east consists of Garbhagruha, Antarala, Mukhamandpa and Ardha – Mandapa. The doorjambs of the mukhamantapa are carved with poornaghatas on either side at the base showing the architectural style of those times. A Jain thirthankhara flanked by two nymphs on either side to him is carved on the lintel. An image of Gajalakshmi is also carved on the doorframes. Full blown lotuses are also carved on the ceilings of mukhamandapa and in the Garbhagriha . This temple has been constructed with attention to detail and shows the skill of the workers in those times.
How to reach
Bairanpalli village is located nearly 70 km towards west from the District head quarters of Warangal. It is accessible by road.
Can we do something to conserve or save such abandoned places in the Telangana or Andhra region? Or can we pressurize local admins or govt to take steps to conserve these places?
After-all this is a question of our culture, heritage and glory.

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the most effective powder bed technique in the additive Manufacturing (AM) which able to fabricate functional metal parts directly from 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) file data. In this paper, the influence of SLM parameters, such as laser power, scanning speed and hatching distance on the density of AlSi10Mg samples are investigated using one factor at a time (OFAT). Furthermore, the optimum results are used to fabricate samples for hardness, tensile strength, and impact toughness test. It is revealed that AlSi10Mg parts fabricated by SLM achieving the best density of 99.13% at the value of 350 watts laser power, 1650 mm/s scanning speed and hatching distance 0.13mm, whereby resulted comparable and even better mechanical properties to those of conventionally HDPC A360F and HDPC A360T6 alloys although without any comprehensive post processing methods.

Jack Walton’s first release of 2019 ‘We Are Golden’ is a powerful statement of self-belief, urging listeners to be true to themselves.
With heartfelt lyrics and breath-taking vocal delivery, Jack weaves uplifting lyrics around heartfelt guitar playing, contemporary electronic beats and skilful production. Drawing from influences as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Prince, Justin Bieber and Paolo Nutini, Jack fuses electronic and acoustic elements to create an unparalleled sound that’s truly his own. “We Are Golden” is the first taste of Jack’s hotly-anticipated debut album, Stolen Hearts & Stolen Cars, scheduled for release in 2019. The track will be accompanied by a music video, filmed in London and released on 7th February.
Jack says: “This song is about standing alone with the truth. Stripping away all the noise of life, searching until you find the gold in everyone. “We Are Golden is all about believing in yourself, and having the determination to be true to yourself and realise dreams.”
Jack Walton has been writing and recording original music since the age of 11, initially refining his talents as a performer while playing gigs around his hometown of Castleford. Since finding fame on The X Factor 2014, Jack Walton has established himself as an accomplished solo artist and an exceptionally talented songwriter and performer in his own right, receiving support from Louis Tomlinson. After being scouted by several major labels, Jack decided to sign with indie imprint and production house The House of Nanchang, where he would maintain complete creative control over his music: he is passionate about writing music that he can believe in.
Jack’s thoughtfully crafted songs have earned him consistent acclaim from critics and fans alike: he has been praised for his reflective lyrics and natural musical talent. Not only is Jack a talented vocalist, he’s a multi-instrumentalist, playing several instruments across his recordings.
Since his television debut, he has shared a series of singles that show a gifted artist developing a unique and powerful sound: most recently, the romantic EP “Runaway” and the pop-focused single “Kept Me Safe”. “We Are Golden”, his latest single and the first to be released from his upcoming debut album Stolen Hearts & Stolen Cars, has established his presence in the UK pop world as a fresh and vital talent with a promising future ahead.
“My favourite thing about making music is knowing that someone you don’t even know might be moved by something you’ve written and performed.” – Jack Walton

WAN automation provides visibility of all available resources across multi-vendor network components, allowing operators to immediately assess the feasibility of delivering a new service over the network using resources that already exist.
This deep visibility into the network is the foundation for tools and processes that automate service provisioning and turn-up in multi-vendor and multi-domain environments, and dramatically speed up time to market and revenues.
Read this blog from Frank Miller, CTO EMEA at Ciena, as he explains how operators can orchestrate and automate service provisioning and turn-up to boost efficiency, and speed up time to market and revenues from months to minutes.
For this tier 1 network operator, slow, multi-departmental service provisioning processes took up to two months. Why?
Ciena’s WAN automation enables super-fast service provisioning, enhanced capacity planning, and bandwidth on demand.

Security and Fair Play
The operator of SpinGenie is SkillOnNet Ltd, a company that legally operates in Canada. It has two licences — the Alcohol Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). Aside from having no worries about the legality of SpinGenie, you also won’t have to worry about the safety of your data as the operator employs the latest security protocols, including encryption, authentication, a strong key exchange, and a strong cypher.
Finally, SpinGenie is independently tested for fairness by iTechLabs, so you can rely on all its games to be random at all times.
Although SpinGenie had an issue with rigged RNG games in 2009, the operator seems to have learned the lesson as it currently undergoes regular independent RNG testing by a reliable third party.
We also looked SpinGenie up on the web and found many praises but also several complaints from the players. The most common issue players have is the inability to deposit and withdraw money without uploading additional documents. However, in its terms and conditions, SpinGenie clearly states that it reserves the right to ask for extra documentation to prevent fraud and verify players’ identities.
Games at SpinGenie
If you want to try any of these games out, we’ve collated free demo versions of them for you to try below before attempting to play for real money. Note: Live dealer games are unavaiable to trial for free:

Slots and Jackpots
The tab reserved for slots features hundreds of new and popular titles that cover various themes and offer numerous bonus features. The most played ones are Bonanza, Mustang Gold, Thunderstruck, The Hand of Midas, and others. SpinGenie hosts branded slots, too, meaning that you can test titles based on popular movies and TV series like Game of Thrones and Jurassic Park.
If you don’t like playing small, you can check the Megaways tab and try to win larger amounts through rewarding slots like Great Rhino Megaways and Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways, or go for Slingo and enjoy different slots with bingo elements.
Classic casino games are the weakest link in SpinGenie’s game portfolio, as you’ll only find blackjack and roulette among around 20 available titles. Players who fancy these two casino classics can try several versions of European, American, and French Roulette and American and European Blackjack.
Live Dealer Games
Under the Live Casino tab, you can find a few popular subcategories like live roulette, blackjack, and game shows. Live dealer games come from popular software providers like Playtech, Pragmatic Play, and Authentic Gaming. The titles you shouldn’t miss are Unlimited Blackjack, Mega Fire Blaze Roulette, and Quantum Roulette.
SpinGenie is a casino site that works perfectly on different mobile devices. Since the operator doesn’t have a native app, you’re free to use your smartphone and tablet and access SpinGenie via your standard mobile browser. The platform is fully-responsive on mobile and features a user-friendly interface on different types of small screens.
Players who prefer a smaller and more private gaming environment with high-quality slots, table games, and live dealer titles will find SpinGenie completely satisfying.

UK - Neptune Investment Management has appointed Barry Norris as fund manager on the European equity fund.
He will also be responsible for analysis on the technology and telecommunications sectors.
Norris has worked for Baillie Gifford where he was an investment analyst and junior fund manager in European equities and at Standard & Poor’s where he was an investment analyst.
Managing director and chief investment officer Robin Geffen said: “His knowledge of the technology and telecommunications industries will make him an invaluable addition to the team.”
The Brunel Pension Partnership has become the fourth local authority pool to receive the green light from the regulator.
Defined benefit (DB) schemes are to be offered a new consolidator as the former chief of the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) launches 'The Pension SuperFund'.
Martin Freeman has been hired as head of technology product and development at Smart Pension, to support the 'growing' technology product side of the business.
Tim Sharp says the government has missed some big opportunities to help workers in the DB white paper.
