The US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) said it has authorised state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Pfizer Inc’s Covid-19 pill. The pill will be prescribed to eligible patients to help improve access to the treatment. The antiviral drug, Paxlovid, has now been given a nod for use. Paxlovid has been available for free in the United States since December, but fewer than half of the nearly four million courses distributed by the government to the pharmacies have so far been administered.
The use of the pill, which is now authorised to treat newly infected, at-risk people to prevent severe illness, has however jumped in recent weeks as infections rise.
“Since Paxlovid must be taken within five days after symptoms begin, authorizing state-licensed pharmacists to prescribe Paxlovid could expand access to timely treatment for some patients,” Patrizia Cavazzoni, director for the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement.
The American Medical Association (AMA) said in a statement that prescribing decisions should be made by a doctor whenever possible. “It (Paxlovid) is not for everyone and prescribing it requires knowledge of a patient’s medical history, as well as clinical monitoring for side effects and follow-up care to determine whether a patient is improving,” said AMA President Jack Resneck.
Patients who want to determine their eligibility for receiving the drug at places where state-licensed pharmacists are available, should bring the following information:
Electronic or printed health records less than 12 months old
A list of all medications that the patient is taking currently

Being more than 300 meters deep, upwards of 33% saline, and lying more than 430 meters below mean sea level, the Dead Sea holds the records for deepest hypersaline lake and lowest land-based elevation on the planet making it one of the world’s leading tourist attractions. However, it may soon no longer exist. The fact of the matter is that the Dead Sea is not naturally receiving enough water to sustain itself, causing it to recede at a surprising rate of 1.2 meters (nearly four feet) every year.
But this goes beyond lacking precipitation and intense evaporative processes. Until the 1950s, the Dead Sea would regularly be recharged from fresh flowing streams and rivers from the surrounding mountainous landscape. At the time, the incoming flow of freshwater and the rate of evaporation were more or less balanced, keeping the water level mostly unchanged. But this all went sideways once Israel constructed a massive pumping station on the banks of the Kinneret freshwater lake in the 1960s, diverting water from the upper Jordan River, the Dead Sea’s prime freshwater source, into a pipeline system to supply water throughout the rest of the country. For perspective, the sea needs an infusion of around 600 million cubic meters of water every year just to maintain its current size, and now, it barely receives 10% of that.
From 1960 to 2018, the Dead Sea level dropped a total of 35 meters. At this rate, it is predicted to fall an additional estimated 25 meters by 2036, and most experts predict the sea won’t disappear completely but instead reach an equilibrium as the rate of evaporation slows in the coming decades, but not before losing another third of its present volume.
Sinking Into the Ground
So, why is the Dead Sea’s diminishing water level so concerning? The creation of sinkholes. As the sea evaporates and recedes, the freshwater aquifers along its perimeter also moves towards the retreating sea. As this freshwater diffuses into the salt deposits beneath the surface of the shoreline, the water slowly dissolves the deposits until the earth above is no longer structurally sound and collapses inward, usually without a clear warning. Among other things, this ongoing process has jeopardized human and infrastructure safety, crumbling the area’s tourism and local economy, literally.
“The threat of the sinkholes is only growing and limiting human activity in the area. Further development of infrastructures is very complicated, and some areas can be very dangerous for travelling,” says Dr. Meir Abelson, researcher for the Geological Survey of Israel.
Here, sinkholes vary in size ranging from diameters as small as one meter to as large as 600 meters, and the larger the hole, the more capable it is of endangering people and swallowing trees, cars, and even buildings. From the 1980s, sinkholes first began appearing along the Dead Sea’s shores and since then, over 6,000 others have formed with 75% of them forming since 1997. Unfortunately, this has transformed the surrounding area into an ever increasingly unpredictable environment, so much so that scientists speculate the Dead Sea will be fully barricaded on its northern end, fully eliminating it as an accessible Israeli tourist attraction by 2040.
Numerous events have already occurred throughout the years foreshadowing this disappointing outcome. Because of the frequency of sinkhole formations and lack of guaranteed safety, some tourist resorts and beaches that once attracted thousands of yearly travelers from around the world, are now utterly abandoned.
For instance, Mineral Beach, a former resort in the Israeli settlement of Mitzpe Shalem, used to host around 250,000 visitors every year, but had no choice but to close in 2015 when a sinkhole suddenly materialized and caved in the parking lot and a number of rooms. “We are a small kibbutz and this resort was our supporting pillar, economically but also socially,” manager Avi Cohen told NBC News.

Prior to this incident, The Arab Potash Company, located in Jordan, lost a $38 million production unit to a sinkhole in 2000, and the company is expected to undergo an additional $70-90 million loss in future sinkhole damages due to their proximate location to the Dead Sea. Even since 1995, Kibbutz Ein Gedi, located along the Dead Sea’s western shore, has lost over $25 million as a result of severe sinkhole damages.
Is There a Plan?
So, what can be done about this? Honestly, the short answer––not much. After more than a decade of research and feasibility studies, Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority did officially agree to move ahead with the Red Sea-Dead Sea Water Conveyance Project in 2013. But much like the Dead Sea, the plans are currently dead in the water.
The purpose of the pipeline was twofold: to pump 200 million cubic meters of Red Sea seawater to yield 80-100 million cubic meters of freshwater from a new desalination plant in Aqaba, Jordan to be shared with southern Israel, and to pump the remaining brine––the highly concentrated byproduct––to an elevation of 220 meters, taking advantage of the uphill topography, before being redirected 650 meters downwards to operate a hydroelectric power plant on its way to help reduce some of the Dead Sea’s water level decline.
Reasons for the indefinite hold range from the 11 billion dollar price tag, to the recent stretch of Israel’s inactive government, to Israel’s presently tense geopolitical relationship with Jordan. Although supporters of the project see this as the Dead Sea’s only hope of salvation and addressing the rate of sinkhole formation, critics remain skeptical of the potential tradeoffs, citing environmental concerns for the Red Sea’s network of climate-resilient coral reefs and the landscape of the Arava Valley as well as the likely technical, economic, and civil repercussions. And due to this financial and diplomatic gridlock, the Dead Sea continues to recede and wither away.
“I do not know how we can stop it,” says geologist Dr. Meir Abelson of Israel’s Geological Survey. “I am not convinced the Red Sea-Dead Sea canal would alleviate sinkhole development. In general, I believe that any human intervention in nature can be harmful because we can never anticipate all plausible consequences.”
In the absence of a satisfactory solution for the Dead Sea’s restoration, the next plan of action is to track and predict where the dangerous sinkholes would most likely appear, and Dr. Abelson’s research does just that. Using InSAR and nanoseisimc monitoring to detect concealed areas of subsurface cavities, he and his colleagues are able to map risk zones and predict where sinkholes will form before they collapse. Even though monitoring does not prevent the sinkholes from occurring altogether, Abelson’s research certainly works to inform safety measures to take place before it’s too late.
Although smaller sized sinkholes can be filled in with concrete and clayey sand, this can only happen once they have stopped growing. Because the sinkholes around the Dead Sea are continuously expanding, planners have opted for temporary damage control. Many have also considered making the sinkholes into a tourism attraction, placing a positive spin on an otherwise alarming situation.
Although exacerbated by rising global temperatures more consistently exceeding 40°C (>104), the Dead Sea’s shrinkage is a product of human activity. It’s mainly due to the Israeli and Jordanian Dead Sea factories that extract chemicals such as potassium and other fertilizers by evaporating its seawater and pumping natural freshwater feed sources. Dead Sea industrial activity continues to evaporate 280 million cubic meters of its water each year, and no progress has been made replenishing the Dead Sea deficit. Therefore, we can expect a very different looking Dead Sea over the next thirty years.

(KINGMAN, Kan.) — A former Kingman High School student is suing the school district, saying it did nothing to stop a teacher from sexually harassing her. The lawsuit was filed by 'Jane Doe' in US District Court this week. Now the teacher in question has been put on paid administrative leave.
The lawsuit says that between 2008 and 2010, a teacher at the high school sexually harassed 'Jane Doe'. The lawsuit says the teacher sent inappropriate text messages and made inappropriate comments. Those comments included, what is your bra size, you have a perfect body, what type of panties are you wearing and climb up on that chair so I can see up your skirt. He also offered her $500 to strip in front of him.
Click to Watch This Story
The student filed a sexual harassment complaint with the school about the teacher's behavior. The district responded to that complaint by issuing 'Jane Doe' and her family a letter. It stated, the administration had completed an investigation of the teacher and appropriate disciplinary action was taken. The letter went on to say that the woman's younger sister would not be enrolled in the teacher's classes in the future.
'Jane Doe' was not the only student to file complaints with the district about this teacher. Eyewitness News reported back in August about concerns several parents raised. They told the school board they didn't want their female students taking this teacher's classes. The school board decided to let concerned students take online versions of his classes instead. Back in August the superintendent told Eyewitness New they were doing everything possible to provide the safest environment for students.
But 'Jane Doe's' father disagrees. He tells Eyewitness News, his daughter moved forward with the lawsuit because the district wasn't doing anything to stop this teacher from sexually harassing students. She decided a lawsuit might be the only way to make a difference. She wasn't the first student to complain but she hopes to be the last.
In 2006, another Kingman High School student filed a police report claiming unlawful sexual relations with the same teacher. Eyewitness News spoke with this woman. She says the teacher made inappropriate comments and also brushed up against her breast. Her case was reviewed by a special counselor in Kingman County, but it was decided there wasn't enough information to file formal charges.
Eyewitness News contacted the superintendent who referred us to the district's attorney. We've left a message with them. The superintendent did say the teacher had been placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday, days after the lawsuit was filed. He also said about 20 students are enrolled for online courses this semester, but it's unclear how many of those students would have been in this teacher's classroom.


Different Types of Military Drones: A Comprehensive Guide to Tactical UAVs
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become an integral part of modern military operations. These flying marvels have revolutionized the way armed forces conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, and even direct combat missions. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the different types of military drones, their specific applications, and why Arma Gideon is the go-to choice for specialized military drones.
The Evolution of Military Drones
The concept of using unmanned aircraft for military operations isn’t new. It dates back to World War I, but it wasn’t until the late 20th century that drones became a staple in modern warfare. Initially used for basic reconnaissance missions, drones have evolved to take on more complex roles, including targeted strikes and supply drops.
Types of Military Drones
Small drones, also known as micro-drones, weigh less than 25 kilograms and operate at altitudes below 122 meters. These agile machines can reach speeds of up to 185 km/h and have an endurance of less than an hour.
Small drones excel in localized surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Their quick deployment capabilities make them ideal for time-sensitive operations like search and rescue, as well as tactical surveillance.
Despite their agility, small drones face limitations in payload capacity and are susceptible to environmental factors like wind and rain.
Medium drones weigh between 25 and 600 kilograms and operate at altitudes ranging from 122 to 3,048 meters. They can reach speeds of up to 464 km/h and have an endurance that spans several hours.
Medium drones are versatile, capable of extended surveillance missions, intelligence gathering, and even payload delivery. They are a staple in modern military operations, especially for tasks that require a longer operational range and higher payload capacity.
The complexity and cost associated with medium UAV drones require specialized training and adherence to strict safety protocols.
Large drones are the behemoths of the drone world, weighing over 600 kilograms and capable of operating at altitudes above 3,048 meters. These drones can reach speeds exceeding 800 km/h and have an endurance that can last for days.
Large drones are primarily used for high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) missions. They are ideal for extensive surveillance operations, strategic reconnaissance, and even for launching missile attacks.
The cost and complexity of large drones make them a significant investment. They require advanced infrastructure, including specialized launch and recovery systems, and a team of highly trained operators.

TURNAROUND & TURKEY
Want to get a jump start on upcoming deals? Meet the major New York City players at one of our upcoming events!
|2011's just around the corner—and according to figures from Grubb & Ellis economic guru Bob Bach, it looks like we're heading for improvement, with no predicted double dip, low interest rates, and low inflation.|
|Bob (right, with NY market leader Joe Swingle) says to expect job growth to increase to 125k jobs per month in '11 and 150k per month in '12—but there's risk in Japanese-style malaise, deflation, and long-term debt growth, he says. Apartments will recover first, with an expected 4.3 million potential new renters and a continuously declining homeownership rate. Industrial sees opportunity with global trade coming back and firming retail sales, but there's a risk of a trade war, with competitive devaluation against the US dollar. Retail did better than expected in the recession, and consumers are spending again and responding to promotional pricing (we hear there's a few on Friday). Flip side: risk of long-term consumer deleveraging. Office is the last to recover, with job creation relatively slow. Overall vacancy is 17.2% (with shadow space, 22%), and he's expecting a 1% annual drop over the next few years.|
|New York is recovering more favorably than the rest of the US, says Joe. After the office market peaked in '07 at $80/SF with an 8% availability rate, we've bottomed out and are now at $62/SF with a 14% availability rate—we've already seen a 5% increase in rental rates. Availability with continue to improve, estimated at 12% next year. If the city follows cycle trends, we'll see peak rents back in '14, he forecasts. There's still a bifurcated market, as a dozen prime buildings are still commanding over $100/SF. The ask-take gap continues to close, and he estimates we'll see numbers between 15% and 18% next year.|
|And now for Bob's annual Turkey Day analysis. He says that rising commodity prices due to demand from China and other emerging markets have yet to impact the cost of Thanksgiving dinner. The American Farm Bureau reports that a dinner with all the trimmings to feed 10 people is $43.47, a 1.3% increase from Thanksgiving '09 (food prices jumped 1.4% over the past 12 months, and is barely ahead of the 1.2% gain in the Consumer Price Index). That means farmers are doing better than office and industrial landlords, according to Bob. (Plus corn and soybeans aren't demanding concessions.) They've been unable to push through any rent increase this year; the Q3 average asking rental rate for a SF of US office space fell from $26.60 full-service to $26.10 year-over-year, while a SF of industrial space fell from $5.38 to $5.35 triple net. However, sales prices rose: Irrigated cropland in the territory served by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City increased in value by 9.6%, office by 13.2%, and industrial by 8.2%.|

From high-end art galleries to comic book conventions, d'Errico's works draw legions of fans, collectors, and admirers. With Pop Painting, fans and aspiring painters get an up-close look at the step-by-step processes she employs to transform oil and acrylic paints into unforgettable images of her ethereal and beautiful characters.

The playoff-hungry Columbus Blue Jackets received bad news on Sunday.
The Jackets announced centre Artem Anisimov is out indefinitely after taking a direct hit to the head from the Minnesota Wild’s Charlie Coyle during Saturday night’s game.
Just 17 seconds into the first period, Coyle collided with Anisimov, knocking the 24-year-old Russian to the ice. Anisimov’s teammate, Brandon Dubinsky, took issue with the hit, receiving a game misconduct, a match fighting major and a two-minute minor for instigating a response.
Coyle was given a match penalty and a fighting major stemming from the incident.
Although the Columbus Dispatch confirmed Sunday that Anisimov, who travelled with the Jackets to Denver Sunday, has a head injury, it’s unclear if he’s concussed.
Anisimov’s 11 goals this season have him tied with Blue Jackets winger Vinny Prospal for the team lead.
BOUDREAU WANTS ALL HIS DUCKS IN A LINE
At one point, the Anaheim Ducks were one of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League.
Fast forward a few months, and head coach Bruce Boudreau is desperate to get his Ducks in a row.
After losing to the Los Angeles Kings Saturday night, Boudreau vented his frustration to the L.A. media.
“We had chances to take the lead,” he said. “We had chances to tie it up. We just didn’t get it done.
“We aren’t scoring any goals. Look at the numbers of guys who haven’t scored in a long time now. Our strength at the beginning of the year was that everybody was scoring, now it’s a weakness.”
Of the Ducks top players, Bobby Ryan has one goal in 13 games, Doug Winnik is suffering from a 19-goal scoring drought and Saku Koivu hasn’t netted a marker in his last 15 games.
Still, the Ducks remain securely in the No. 2 playoff spot in the Western Conference with two weeks to go in the regular season.
OVECHKIN USURPS STAMKOS FOR GOAL LEAD
Don’t hand over the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy to Alex Ovechkin just yet.
The Washington Capitals forward netted his 27th of the season on Saturday, passing the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Steve Stamkos (26) as the Caps downed the Bolts 6-5 in overtime.
Despite the offensive burst from both teams, Stamkos was held goalless, only managing an assist in the affair.
Meantime, Ovie has seven goals in his last five games to put the pressure back on Stamkos, who has six more games to reassert himself atop the scoring lead after being shut out Sunday by the Buffalo Sabres.
To some consolation, Stamkos’ 52 points this season is six better than Ovechkin, and just four behind Sidney Crosby for the league lead.
‘HAWKS END ELLIOTT’S STREAK
The Chicago Blackhawks finally managed to solve St. Louis Blues goaltender Brian Elliott, who was riding a shutout streak of 215 minutes stretching back to the club’s April 5 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Saturday’s 2-0 loss to the ‘Hawks quashed Elliott’s streak, which stretched across five games, putting an end to his bid to approach a long-standing NHL record.
Former Ottawa Senators goalie Alec Connell holds a seemingly untouchable shutout streak record of 461 minutes set over 23 periods during the 1927-28 season.
Elliott, 28, used a 241-minute shutout streak last season to set a St. Louis Blue franchise record of nine shutouts in a season.

The winning numbers for Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing were 02, 11, 22, 35, 60 and Powerball 23. It was not immediately clear if there were any winning tickets.
The fourth-largest lottery jackpot in US history could reach the biggest ever if no one wins the top prize on Wednesday night Powerball drawing. Jackpot currently sitting at 1.2 billion dollars.
Since the last person hit the jackpot on August 3rd, there have been 38 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner.
Jackpot grows after each draw without a winner and is now approaching the record 1.586 billion US dollars In 2016, three Powerball players won the second– and third-the biggest prizes were won by Mega Millions lottery players.
“I think it would be close to a record, if not a record,” said Drew Svitko, executive director of the Pennsylvania Lottery. “The record $1.586 billion that we had in 2016 is within reach, but it really depends on a few factors.”
The first factor is the number of tickets sold, and they fly out of lottery machines all over the country.
131.6 million Powerball games were sold in Monday night’s drawing, said Anna Domoto, a spokeswoman for the Multistate Lottery Association, which oversees the game. This accounted for 36.3% of all possible combinations of numbers, as millions of players chose the same numbers.
That’s a lot, but given that the odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, that means that about 186 million combinations of numbers were not covered, so no one won the top prize.
While the focus of the game is on the $1.2 billion prize, which is an annuity paid out over 29 annual payments, almost all winners choose the prize money, which would be $596.7 million.
However, the advertised prize is based on the annuity and is the second factor that determines the jackpot higher interest rates cause the annuity to increase more rapidly. In other words, $596.7 million in cash is going into investments that will eventually cost $1.2 billion, and those investments will grow faster as interest rates rise.
“We’re using the investment to fund the annuity to pay this prize, so the investment is interest-bearing, and the extent to which interest rates affect the value of that investment affects that jackpot,” Svitko said.
For some players, it’s not about the top prize.
“What’s so fun about that?” Jeff Bennett asked on Monday. “It’s the potential to win, not that you win. It’s the potential — you’re buying hope.”
But even with the huge jackpot, not everyone has caught Powerball fever.
“No use,” said a man named Diego. “I think you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning that lottery.”

Italian prosecutors said they believe the American student suspected in the stabbing death of her British roommate in Italy stole money from Meredith Kercher to pay a drug dealer and that the Brit was killed when she walked in at the wrong moment, the Times of London reports.
Prosecutors said Rudy Hermann Guede, an Ivory Coast immigrant and a suspect in the 21-year-old’s murder, allegedly supplied hashish to American Amanda Knox, 20, and her Italian ex-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, 23. The couple admitted to being high on the night of Kercher’s death.
Guede, 20, claims he had a rendezvous with Kercher on Nov. 2, the night she was killed, and in a memorandum leaked to Italian papers he claims that Kercher called Knox a "drugged-up tart."
• Click here to view photos.
Kercher was found with her throat cut and her body sexually assaulted. Police believe the kitchen knife used in the crime originated from Sollecito’s flat. His role in the murder remained unclear. Sollecito and Knox remain in custody in Italy; a fourth suspect, Congolese bar owner Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, 38, was released from jail in connection with the murder.
Guede claims he was in the bathroom with stomach pains when an assailant entered the cottage and stabbed Kercher.
Relatives of Kercher on Friday gathered in London for her funeral, where mourners congregated at Croydon Parish Church for a private service, Sky News reported.
Dozens of her friends from the University of Leeds and former schoolmates packed the church.
Her parents, Arline and John, her sister, Stephanie, and brothers John and Lyle followed Kercher's coffin.
The Rev. Colin Boswell said he hoped his sermon would "bring some life and light into what is a very dark situation."

The Greatest Dancer’s newest star was forced on to the back foot before the TV show even started.
American entertainer Todrick Hall, the talent show’s new dance captain, has had to deny claims he sexually harassed one of his staff members in the States.
Little known in the UK, the 34-year-old is a huge name in America, where he rose to fame in American Idol.
He joined fellow captains Cheryl Tweedy, Oti Mabuse and Matthew Morrison on the show, which returned last night for a second series.
In 2018 the singer songwriter faced claims of sexual harassment and failure to pay by someone he used to work with.
Stephen Land, who worked on Hall’s Straight Outta Oz tour, claimed in court papers Hall acted inappropriately with “unwelcome touching”.
He had to travel on a different tour bus because it got so bad, he alleged in the documents.
Land also accused Todrick of failure to pay agreed wages, and breach of contract during the hearing at California District Court in 2018.
The matter was settled out of court and dismissed.
But Todrick faced further accusations just weeks before his The Greatest Dancer telly debut.
Former personal assistant Tommy McKissock took to social media in October making similar claims – alleging bullying, harassment and non-payment of staff.
He tweeted: “I was Todrick Hall’s personal assistant for years and I know every detail of his life.”
Responding to the claims in Attitude magazine in an interview this week, Todrick said: “My shows are still sold out, my fans have stood beside me, and they know my heart and integrity, and they know what type of person I am.
“They know that I would never intentionally do some of these things, any of these things that are being said about me. [I will] be more careful about who I allow into my circle.
“My show is full of love and I focus on that every night… when some kid comes and tells me that because of my music and my message they didn’t take their own life, that they are now wearing heels at school, and they are winning prom queens.”
He added: “I’ll sleep with one eye open, but what I’m not going to stop doing is inspiring kids.”
Todrick rose to fame after reaching the semi-finals on season nine of American Idol and becoming a YouTuber, touring artist and regular on popular RuPaul’s Drag Race.
He also played Billy Flynn in the musical Chicago on Broadway.
And he is pals with superstar singer Taylor Swift and last year appeared in her You Need to Calm Down music video.
A BBC spokesman declined to comment.


This requires a automobile improvement course of that is typically extremely simulation-pushed. In the automotive industry producers are taking part in a larger position within the improvement stages of automotive parts to make sure that the merchandise are simple to manufacture. Design for Manufacturability within the automotive world is crucial to make certain whichever design is developed in the Research and Development Stage of automotive design.
While the event engineers are responsible for the operate of the car, manufacturing engineers are responsible for the protected and efficient production of the vehicle. This group of engineers encompass Process Engineers, Logisti Coordinators, Tooling Engineers, Robotics Engineers, and Assembly Planners. As of January 2011, the Australian motor vehicle fleet had 16.4 million registered autos, with an ownership price of 730 motor automobiles per 1000 people, up from 696 automobiles per 1000 residents in 2006.
The testing of these autos consists of testing each mechanical and electrical components of the automobiles. At NTS, we’ve consultants who can help you test autonomous vehicles for security and efficiency. Today’s automobile networks are insufficient for the necessities of future autos. Ethernet solutions shall be required to make sure reliable interdomain communication and satisfy real-time requirements by including Ethernet extensions like audio-video bridging (AVB) and time-delicate networks (TSN).
As autonomous-driving capabilities continue to rise, the introduction of lidars might be needed to ensure redundancy for both object evaluation and localization. Configurations for SAE International L4 (high automation) autonomous driving, for example, will probably initially require 4 to five lidar sensors, including rear-mounted ones for city operation and near-360-diploma visibility.
This method is based on the creation of a Digital Twin, a reproduction of the actual product that remains in-sync. Manufacturers attempt to obtain this by implementing a set of development techniques and tools. Critical is a powerful alignment of 1D techniques simulation, 3D CAE and bodily testing to succeed in extra realism in the simulation process. This is combined with clever reporting and information analytics for higher insight in the vehicle use.
Due to stricter emissions laws, this type of automotive testing is likely to become much more well-liked in the coming years. The SHED is a measuring system that measures the emissions from a gasoline system or a system part.

Since the introduction of the Tesla Roadster electric car in 2008, cumulative sales of freeway legal plug-in electrical vehicles in the U.S. handed one million models in September 2018. The U.S. inventory of plug-in automobiles is the second largest after China (2.21 million by September 2018). According to USDoE, the speed of motorization peaked in 2007 at 844.5 autos per 1000 people.

Days after the Texas Longhorns men’s tennis team defeated the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 4-1 to win the program’s first national championship, interim head coach Bruce Berque earned the job permanently.
Guess who our next head Men’s Tennis Coach is...maybe the one who just won the National Championship?! Yeah, that seems about right! Congratulations @bberque! pic.twitter.com/BBpyyBumnD— Chris Del Conte (@_delconte) May 23, 2019
“It was a no-brainer,” Del Conte said. “We actually made the decision before we left for the National Championship. We had done our due diligence around the country, and we had the very best right in our own backyard. Sometimes you might think the grass is greener somewhere else, but with where we are right now and what Bruce has done with the program, from the time he took it over, we knew he was the right man to lead our program, the championship was just the icing on the cake.”
”It’s the absolute thrill of a lifetime to be entrusted to lead this program,” Berque said. “So many great men have been a part of it as both players and coaches, and it’s an absolute honor to be the fifth men’s tennis coach in the history of the program. I want to thank Chris Del Conte for entrusting me with that, and I’m truly excited about where we are and our future.”
The fifth head coach in the program’s 74-year history took over for longtime head coach Michael Center in March when Center was implicated in the nationwide college admissions scandal. Center faces 15-21 months in prison after agreeing to a plea deal with the government for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
The team responded quickly to Berque’s leadership — a day after Center’s termination, Texas beat No. 1 Ohio State. Ultimately, the Longhorns only lost two of the final 17 matches on the way to the title in Orlando. As a result, Berque earned recognition as the Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Texas has had plenty of success since Berque arrived as a volunteer assistant in 2014 after a decade as the Michigan head coach. In 2016 and 2018, the Horns made the NCAA Quarterfinals and made the Sweet 16 in 2017, years during which Berque served as the associate head coach.
A New Jersey native, Berque also served as an assistant at Florida, Ohio State, and Illinois before earning his first head coaching job in Ann Arbor.

At the Dog & Cat Clinic we have an in-house laboratory with the most advanced machines available. We are able to processes blood, urine, fecal, fluid and tissue samples. With the in-house laboratory we are able to get instantaneous results, so that we can get back to helping your pet as quickly as possible. We also use an external laboratory for complex analyses.
We are equipped to handle a wide variety of medical conditions, including emergencies. Because we can perform many diagnostic procedures in-house, we can often give you immediate answers and start treating your pet faster. In some cases, your pet may require hospitalization and further diagnostic tests. Please take a look at the more detailed descriptions of medical services we offer, or call us to discuss your pet’s needs.
When we need to figure out what’s wrong with your pet, we routinely use x-rays to help identify the cause of the problem, rule out possible problems, or provide a list of possible causes. We may also use x-rays during a wellness exam to diagnose potential problems before they become serious.
X-rays provide valuable information about a pet’s bones, gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestines, colon), respiratory tract (lungs), heart, and genitourinary system (bladder, prostate). We use radiology alone or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. Interpretation of radiographs requires great skill on the part of the veterinarian.
We offer digital radiology (x-rays that are captured digitally rather than on film). This technology allows us to provide you with a quicker diagnosis for your pet. Plus, it uses less radiation than traditional x-rays.
To avoid a blurry image, pets need to remain completely still while an x-ray is taken. In some cases, we may need to sedate your pet or use short-acting general anesthesia.
If you have any questions about our radiology service or what to expect during your pet’s procedure, please don’t hesitate to ask.
A flea problem on your pet means a flea problem in your home. Understanding the flea life cycle and methods for its control can be a daunting task. We will gladly assist you in this process. We can provide you with safe, effective flea prevention and if necessary, flea treatment. See the flea article in the Pet Health Library of our site.
Skin problems are common in dogs and cats and can be caused by hormonal disorders, allergies, infections, or parasites such as fleas and mites. These issues can be difficult to treat and should be addressed promptly.
We can often diagnose a skin problem by simply examining your pet. Some dermatologic diseases or conditions do require additional diagnostic procedures to ensure a correct diagnosis. Depending on your pet’s symptoms and the results of our physical exam, we may run blood work or perform a urinalysis, skin scraping, or biopsies.
Contact us if you notice your dog or cat scratching excessively or if he or she develops any bare patches, scabs, scaling, redness, inflammation, lumps, or bumps.
Although heart problems are found more often in older pets, these conditions can affect pets at any age. Heart disease is usually a life-threatening condition, but early diagnosis and appropriate therapy can extend your pet’s life. If caught soon enough, some forms of heart disease can be cured.
Heart disease can lead to congestive heart failure (CHF), which occurs when the heart can no longer pump blood effectively. If an animal is suffering from CHF, fluid usually accumulates in and around the lungs and sometimes in the abdomen. Congenital heart disease (animals born with a heart problem), valvular heart disease (abnormalities of the heart valves), arrhythmias (rhythm disturbances), and heartworm disease can all lead to CHF.
Call us if your pet starts breathing rapidly or coughing, loses his or her appetite, tires easily, seems weak, or has trouble exercising. We can discover many heart problems during a physical exam. Additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), radiographs (x-rays), and ultrasounds, are usually needed to accurately identify the cause of the heart disease or failure.
At The Dog & Cat Clinic we have an Ultrasound Technician who comes to the clinic offering mobile ultrasound services. This allows our patients to stay within the clinic when undergoing treatment and testing.
The importance of ultrasound cannot be understated. Pets can be stoic creatures and will often hide when they are not well making it challenging to diagnose their illness. Diagnostic imaging is typically performed after a physical examination and blood tests indicate a possible problem.
Ultrasonography (also called ultrasound or sonography) is a noninvasive, pain-free procedure that uses sound waves to examine a pet’s internal organs. It does not involve radiation and has no known side effects. The belly is shaved and a gel is applied to the skin. This gel helps the ultrasound transducer (a small handheld tool) to slide easily over the skin and create a more accurate visual image. The transducer emits sound waves toward the body structures. These waves create echoes of varying degrees, depending on the density of the tissue. The echoes are then converted into detailed, three-dimensional, moving images that can be viewed on a monitor.
Ultrasound visualizes organs differently than a radiograph. For example, if the abdomen is filled with fluid, the organs cannot be viewed on a radiograph because the fluid and tissue have the same density. An ultrasound can see through the fluid and is able to distinguish organs from one another. It is also useful, for the same reason, for seeing inside an organ. Ultrasound does not replace radiography because it cannot see through air or bones. These procedures complement each other. It is common to advise both x-rays and an ultrasound in order to get a complete picture of a patient’s health.
By gathering information about your pet’s illness through the diagnostic process, we are able to better inform you about their prognosis and the treatment options available.
If you have any questions about our ultrasonography service or what to expect during the procedure, please do not hesitate to ask.
Identifying endocrine problems as early as possible is important in dogs and cats. These serious, potentially life-threatening conditions are more manageable when caught early, allowing us to begin proper treatment.
The endocrine system is made up of a group of tissues (mostly glands) that release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones regulate metabolism, growth, development, and reproduction and are dispersed to different areas of the body, depending on the hormone’s function. When a hormonal balance is disturbed (by a tumour or autoimmune disease, for instance), an endocrine disorder can develop. “Hyper” refers to an excess of hormone, and “hypo” refers to a deficiency in a hormone. Treatment varies depending on the disease.
There are several common endocrine disorders found in dogs and cats:
- Diabetes mellitus is caused by a deficiency in or resistance to the hormone insulin.
- Hyperthyroidism, which frequently affects cats, indicates that the animal has high levels of thyroid hormones.
- Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism) and Cushing’s disease (hyperadrenocorticism) although Cushing’s disease is rare in cats.
Contact us if your pet begins panting excessively, develops any skin issues (such as hair loss or dull coat), or shows any changes in behaviour, energy levels, appetite, weight, water consumption, or urination.
To ensure a proper diagnosis, we often need to examine your pet. We begin a medical assessment by looking at your pet’s eyes, ears, and skin and checking his or her cardiovascular, neurological, gastrointestinal, and skeletal systems for any abnormalities. We will perform blood and/or urine tests as necessary to check your pet’s kidneys, liver, pancreas, and endocrine system, including the thyroid and adrenal glands. Based on your pet’s condition, we may recommend further diagnostic tests, such as radiography (x-rays), endoscopy (internal scoping), ultrasound, or biopsy.
If you’re concerned that something may be wrong with your cat or dog, please call us to schedule a medical assessment. Depending on the symptoms, we may ask you to bring in your pet right away.

You know what I see, when I see a Lil Nas x Present Montero shirt like this? I think of poor Sharon Tate who was tortured by The Charles Manson Cult. For years I’ve had this incorrect picture in my head (thanks to my friend’s mom): Sharon, her unborn baby torn out of her stomach, hung by her own umbilical cord. Recently I found out this part, apparently, must have been remembered incorrectly by my friend’s mom (as someone points out in the comments). I know I did not remember what she said incorrectly because I was 17 and that kind of thing was so vivid, it completely changed my outlook on humanity. To find out these many years later that I was told incorrectly does not change the horror of the facts, it just makes it slightly less horrific.
WandaVision episode 8 was amazing. The theory that Agatha is serving a more powerful Lil Nas x Present Montero shirt is becoming less likely. After taking on Scar’s “Be Prepared” from The Lion King for the best Disney villain song last week, Agatha set her sights on discovering the origin of Wanda’s powers. To do this, she trapped Wanda in midair so that she could ramble on about her plan, in a manner reminiscent of the opening scene of Thor: Ragnarok, although that scene was played for laughs, whereas we quickly found out how serious Agatha was with her plan.
Lil Nas x Present Montero shirt, Hoodie, Sweater, Vneck, Unisex and T-shirt
Best Lil Nas x Present Montero shirt
You remember The Artist—it was in black and white Lil Nas x Present Montero shirt and completely silent. You remember how awkward the silences were in the theater or in your living room. You probably remember the cute dog in it, too. You definitely don’t remember anything else about this movie, but it won Best Picture! This is a perfectly fine movie with a perfectly fine gimmick, but I don’t think anyone thought that this was the best movie to come out in 2011, the same year as movies like The Tree of Life, Bridesmaids, and Midnight In Paris. This movie also exposes a major bias that the Academy has: rewarding movies that are about how great movies are. Given that it’s essentially a love letter to silent cinema, it’s no surprise that this won Best Picture. But this was the 2012 Oscars—they definitely made up for it the next year, and didn’t go for an easy crowd pleaser about how movies are the best, right?
I’m a quiet movie watcher, but I don’t mind when people express their thoughts out sometimes. It can show they’re engaged. And for certain things I don’t mind pausing to discuss or speculate, especially for a tv series, but sometimes it can be too much. I had a friend who just Lil Nas x Present Montero shirtstarting pausing so he could describe what was happening in a speculative manner, but it’s like yeah that’s what just happened, we’re both watching it.

Wear induced peri-prosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening remain the major contributing factors to failure of total hip arthroplasty. To reduce wear particles from acetabular liners, the process of polyethylene crosslinking has been modiWed. In this study, we examine the wear of Marathon™ acetabular liners using Radiostereometric Analysis. Thirty patients were enrolled in a prospective cohort study. Femoral head penetration was calculated for 25 patients at 6 months, 1 and 2 years postoperatively. The mean proximal head penetration was 0.067 mm at 6 months, 0.113 mm at 1 year and 0.120 mm at 2 years. The mean three-dimensional femoral head penetration was 0.240 mm at 6 months, 0.230 mm at 1 year and 0.232 mm at 2 years. For both parameters, there was no measurable wear between 1 and 2 years, and the mean annual linear wear was less than 0.06 mm/year, which is less than the suggested osteolysis threshold for polyethylene. All patients demonstrated a dramatic improvement in clinical scores. These results were comparable with other studies that used alternative techniques with conventional radiography to evaluate wear for Marathon™. Long-term studies using the RSA method are recommended to further quantify the clinical performance of this polyethylene liner.

H. E. Winters Specialty Co., Davenport, IA, c. 1916, 16 1/2". This 2-column vendor is very similar to the Griswold Match Machine, but is a little bigger and has sides made of metal rather than glass. You can see a side-by-side comparison here.
This is not shown in Silent Salesmen Too, which I didn't realize until I had a lead on this machine and looked there to get some information. I thumbed through the match machine section 3 or 4 times before I finally accepted that it wasn't there---I was sure it was there and would've bet Big Bucks on it had someone been here to take my bet. Good thing for me that I was alone.
The distinctive feature of this model is the "MATCHES" scripted with matchstick on the sides. I think that is so cool, and this is the only model I know of that has that. Other than that it's a conventional---albeit stately---2-column, white porcelain-and-painted vendor that's like many others.
I wasn't aware of another H. E. Winters machine except for maybe the Winters Minimax Ball Gum, so I checked Silent Salesmen Too to see if they made others. Man, was I surprised. They were indeed responsible for the Winters Minimax Ball Gum machine---only one of which is known to exist and it's pictured on the rear cover of Silent Salesmen Too---but they also had White Vending Co. make a private-labeled Lion Vendor for them, and had Wagner Mfg. Co. make the Red Star for them. These guys weren't pikers! Their lowest-end and most common model by far appears to be the one pictured above, and it's a nice one.
This history suggests that H. E. Winters was a jobber that didn't make anything themselves, but instead contracted other manufacturers to produce things in their name. That was not uncommon, and many of the machines we associate with one company were made by another. Examples of this are Ad-Lee's E-Z, World's Best Machine, and Model D, all of which were made by Columbus. Given the similarity between the H. E. Winters and Griswold match machines, it wouldn't surprise me to someday learn that Griswold made the H. E. Winters.
The example pictured above is 100% original.
Update: March 2012. I received an email from Steve Hardy, the great-grandson of Theodore W. Briegel, who founded Briegel Method Tool Company of Galva, IL. Steve said that a long time before Mr. Briegel founded that company, he was hired by H. E. Winter to design a vending machine case---you guessed it, the one above! Steve has a copy of the design patent hanging on his wall, which indicates that the patent was filed on June 16, 1916, and approved on September 5, 1916. The patent description says only that it's for a vending machine, and doesn't give any indication of how big it is or what it sells.
Mr. Briegel also invented a stamp machine, the patent for which was granted in 1915 and was originally assigned to the Midland Supply Co. Can anyone tell which machine this patent describes?

Little Zippy Wristlet in Big Gold Star
Baby, you're a star.
This bag just knocks me out. I foiled the leather by hand with a stencil, trying to achieve a perfectly clean edge on the stars, but working with hot foil on textured leather is a little slippery. The end result is so much better than I'd originally envisioned. I love the slightly distressed, tiniest-bit-messy effect. This can only be achieved by hand, you could never get this with a machine.
- Single pocket zip pouch with a detachable wristlet strap.
- 8 1/4" W x 4 3/4" H.
- Holds just your essentials - phone, credit cards, keys, lipstick
- Soft, full grain cowhide, lined with smooth organic cotton twill
- Solid brass hardware

It’s Manitoba Substance Use and Addictions Awareness Week (M-SUAAW) is an opportunity for folks to engage in meaningful discussions and explore the impacts of substance use.
The theme for this year’s campaign, “Change Begins with Me”, acknowledges that we can all play a role in bringing about change. It also challenges us to look at our own values and attitudes towards people who use drugs (PWUD). When we create stigma, negative judgements of others, we only add to the risks experienced by PWUD. Instead, let’s shift our attitudes to one of caring and support. The reality is, lots of people use drugs or alcohol at some point in their life. It can be for fun, for the experience or for coping. For some people, their use may develop into problematic use where they struggle to stop or reduce their use and where relationships in their life become impacted.
It’s important that whether we don’t use at all, only use a little, or use a whole bunch, we all learn harm reduction techniques to keep each other safe. We also can call others including the media and the government to challenge current policies that block people from getting support and care for their health and well-being.
If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health or with drugs and alcohol then it might be time to reach out for extra support. Check out some of the following resources:
- Teen Clinics are great starting points for connecting to other programs or supports. Find your closest Teen Clinic
- Call, text or online chat with the Kids Help Phone, 1-800-688-6868
- Check out Addictions Foundation Manitoba for resources and information
- Street Connections is a harm reduction service in Winnipeg that hands out needles and other drug works for those who need
- In Brandon, check out our SERC Brandon office for supplies, Unit B – 345 10th Street
- Youth Addictions Centralized Intake (YACI) for connecting to programs including help coming off substances, call 1-877-710-3999
