RD203 - Report on the Statewide Agencies Radio System (STARS) Program - October 2012
Colonel W. Steven Flaherty, State Police Superintendent and Mr. Mark Moon, Vice President and General Manager of Motorola, signed a $329 million contract between Motorola and the Commonwealth of Virginia for the design, construction, and implementation of the Statewide Agencies Radio System (STARS) on July 13, 2004. A ceremonial contract signing was held on July 16, 2004, in conjunction with a press conference.
The STARS Network, including the five Tidewater tunnels and two Western tunnels, has been completed and all 21 state agencies are operational.
STARS provides multi-channel trunked digital voice and data wireless communications that are specifically designed for public safety requirements, based on APCO Project 25 technology. The prior State Police microwave radio network’s technology and capacity has been upgraded and disaster recovery alternate paths were added. The STARS contract provided for essential public safety grade communications that operate seamlessly throughout the Commonwealth for the 21 state agencies and facilitate interoperability with local governments and federal agencies.
The STARS design is a culmination of partnering with the Commonwealth, the project’s engineering consultant AECOM Design, formerly Hayes, Seay, Mattern & Mattern, Inc., (HSMM) / CTA Communications, and Motorola. Meeting needs, utilizing existing resources, and minimizing risk were heavily weighted design parameters in developing the STARS contract. Capitalizing on existing infrastructure and resources, whenever possible, benefited the Commonwealth in the ability to implement STARS in a cost effective manner. Finally, design risk was minimized through the use of Motorola, a proven system integrator and communications manufacturer, along with the use of a redundant, fault-tolerant, hierarchal design that allows for re-routing in case of a single point of failure. The wireless communications system for the Commonwealth of Virginia contains today’s latest technology. STARS allows the Commonwealth to retain a high level of service and security, plus flexibility to add more users when additional radio frequencies are available. In all applicable design components, STARS has addressed safeguards to system security, including controlled system access, and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption for law enforcement users. The system infrastructure will serve the Commonwealth for many years to come.

Oppressive heat, humidity and a chance of strong to severe thunderstorms pepper the forecast for Wednesday and Thursday as central and southern Indiana experience the hottest weather in three years.A heat advisory is in effect from noon until 8 p.m. on both Wednesday and Thursday as Indiana bakes in temperatures in the mid- to upper 90s and heat indices between 105 to 110 degrees.Indianapolis on Tuesday implemented its extreme heat plan, extending the hours of the city's pools and spray grounds.Fire hydrants were opened in some areas without pools nearby. Air-conditioned community centers are staying open for extended hours.A list of pools, community centers and spray grounds can be found here.
Steamy Weather Prompts Concern For State Fair
The Indiana State Fair kicked off Wednesday morning in the midst of the heat.High school bands that hit the ground marching for the Marching Band Contest, which begins Wednesday, are taking precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses.Cardinal Ritter High School held practice on Tuesday night in preparation for fair activities, but that practice was cut short because of extreme heat and humidity."I'm cutting practice today in half. I had planned on going until 9 p.m. We're going 'til 7:30," said band director Edward Guanajuato. "My principal and I both agree, especially my principal. She said it would be best if we didn't march in uniforms tomorrow for the simple reason that it is so hot."Children, along with the elderly, are especially susceptible to heat-related illness. Everyone should take frequent breaks, drink plenty of water and/or sports drinks."This is a time for coaches and school officials to say, 'Let's start introducing these kids to the hot weather environment and, over a period of seven to 10 days, let's start doing some short drills outside and introduce them to the hot weather over time," said Dr. Meena Garg of the Indiana University Center for Sports Medicine.Warning signs of heat-related illness included light-headedness, a fast beating heart, profuse sweating and heat cramps.
Strong To Severe Storms Possible
The extreme heat and humidity are expected to spark thunderstorms, some of which could be strong or severe on Wednesday and Thursday.The biggest severe weather threat will be in the northern half of the state, closer to a frontal system that divides the steamy air to the south from relatively dry and cool air to the north.Strong winds are the primary threat from the storms, but large hail and a few tornadoes are also possible.The severe weather threat on Wednesday is generally from the Indianapolis area northwestward. On Thursday, all of northern and central Indiana could see strong to severe storms.

|Abstract:||Utilising data derived from twins and their families, different approaches can be applied to study genetic and environmental influences on human dental variation. The different methods have advantages and limitations and special features of the twinning process are important to consider. Model-fitting approaches have shown that different combinations of additive genetic variance (A), non-additive genetic variance (D), common environmental variance (C), and unique environmental variance (E) contribute to phenotypic variation within the dentition, reflecting different ontogenetic and phylogenetic influences. Epigenetic factors are also proposed as important in explaining differences in the dentitions of monozygotic co-twins. Heritability estimates are high for most tooth size variables, for Carabelli trait and for dental arch dimensions, moderate for intercuspal distances, and low for some occlusal traits. In addition to estimating the contributions of unmeasured genetic and environmental influences to phenotypic variation, structural equation models can also be used to test the effects of measured genetic and environmental factors. Whole-genome linkage analysis, association analysis of putative candidate genes, and whole genome association approaches, now offer exciting opportunities to locate key genes involved in human dental development.|

|CHRIST COLLEGE IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CHAMBER ORCHESTRA THE WELSH SINFONIA AND ITS CONDUCTOR, MARK EAGER, TO DEVELOP ORCHESTRAL PLAYERS FOR THE FUTURE.|
Through its new flagship project ‘Crescendo’, which was formally launched last month, Christ College will be one of five schools around Wales that The Welsh Sinfonia will be working with. It will see them supporting our aspiring instrumental players as they are given the opportunity to perform exciting orchestral repertoire, with professional musicians from The Welsh Sinfonia sitting alongside them in a major concert each year.
Director of Music at Christ College, Jonathan Ling, said: “As well as helping to develop instrumental playing at Christ College, there will be a benefit to the whole community in terms of familiarising the next generation of audiences and players with classical music.”
“Music is a considerable force in developing young people’s minds, feeding them creatively and stimulating their interest in a range of subjects, positively and vibrantly,” added Mark Eager. “Learning instruments is terrific and must be encouraged, but listening to and understanding great music is even more important as it can benefit everyone. It’s never too soon to get the brain turned on to classical music; young people are our future audiences and some of them even our future performers.”
Mark Eager will be visiting Christ College on Monday 24th March for the first of a series of rehearsals where musicians will be working towards a concert to take place in the next academic year.
The Welsh Sinfonia’s ‘Crescendo’ project, which is supported and partially funded by the Arts Council of Wales, will see The Welsh Sinfonia professionals working with pupils in up to five secondary schools a year all over Wales.
A rolling, structured five year programme will cover all aspects of playing classical music in an orchestra, including a leadership and teamwork module relevant to life out of school, delivered by Neath-based youth motivation organisation, Call of the Wild.
The project was successfully piloted in 2013 at St John Baptist in Aberdare, whose fledgling orchestra has as a result opted to play an all-classical programme this year. New schools in 2014 are Bro Ddyffi in Machynlleth, Sandfields Comprehensive in Port Talbot, Bryn Hyfryd in Ruthin, and Christ College.

text: Background: Lung, kidney and small intestine are involved in fetal volume regulation and amniotic fluid secretion and play a pivotal role in the transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. Objective: This study was performed to determine the ontogeny of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR), and of MR- and GR-regulated genes and proteins, serum and glucocorticoid-induced kinase (Sgk-1), epithelial sodium channel (ENaCα), and Na,K-ATPase α1. Methods: Lung, renal cortex and medulla, and small intestine were collected from fetuses at 80, 100, 120, 130 and 145 days’ gestation and from day 1 and 7 neonatal lambs. Real-time PCR was performed to determine mRNA concentration for MR, GR, the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11β-HSD1 and 2), Sgk-1, ENaCα, and Na,K-ATPase α1. Protein expression of ENaCα and Na,K-ATPase α1 in whole cell and membrane fractions was determined by immunoblotting. Results: Expression of corticosteroid-induced genes in renal cortex increases at term; in small intestine the induction occurs postnatally. In contrast, in lung expression of MR and GR mRNAs were greater at 100 days to term than postnatally and 11β-HSD1 peaked at 145 days; the corticosteroid-induced genes also increased prenatally: Sgk-1 and ENaCα increased by 120 days, peaking at 145 days, and Na,K-ATPase α1 was greatest at 130 days. Conclusions: The expression of high levels of MR and 11β-HSD1 in preterm fetal lung suggest low endogenous fetal cortisol may exert actions at the high affinity MR in vivo, leading to increases in expression of sodium channels important in the regulation of lung liquid secretion and reabsorption.

New Year Calls for a New COVID-19 Strategy
As 2021 begins, many people in Manitoba are hopeful that the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us. The number of infections reported is falling. Effective vaccines have been approved and will eventually become widely available. Unfortunately, the pandemic is far from over and the worst could still lie ahead.
Manitoba, like most jurisdictions in Canada except the Atlantic provinces and Northern territories, is using a public-health strategy for responding to COVID-19 that hasn’t given us the protection and positive outcomes that we could have expected. This strategy – one of mitigation, to use the epidemiological term – has aimed to keep the virus from spreading so much that sick people overwhelm the hospital system.
Building the Canadian Shield: A New Strategy to Protect Canadians from COVID and from the Fight Against COVID, a new report from the COVID Strategic Choices Group – a task force made up of scientists, medical doctors, economists and top corporate figures – is clear: “The sad reality is that even the most aggressive or innovative tactics cannot save a failing strategy.”
The report points out that a number of countries using mitigation strategies, including the UK, have found themselves forced into lockdowns for a third time.
The problem is that when the virus is still circulating in the population at a significant level and most people haven’t been vaccinated, the end of a lockdown will eventually lead to another wave of infections. We know all about that in Manitoba. Even though the number of infections was very low in the summer of 2020, reopening without appropriate preventative measures in place and extensive resources for rapid testing, contact tracing and supported isolation measures led later in the year to a rapidly rising wave.
Building the Canadian Shield’s statistical forecast is “that, without a fundamental change in strategy, Canada will likely experience a third wave this spring with a potential peak of over 9,000 cases per day.”
Widespread vaccination by late 2021 may not protect us from a third wave this spring. As highlighted in the report and supported by many leading public-health experts, we suggest that a different strategy is needed to prevent the deaths, disabling long-term health effects, suffering, mass exhaustion of our essential and critical workers and financial hardship that will be inflicted by another wave.
Another reason to drastically curb the spread of the virus is that the more it circulates, the greater the chances that new variants will develop that are more deadly, resistant to vaccines or spread more easily, as the one in the U.K. that is currently the focus of much attention appears to do.
New Strategy to Defeat the Spread
There are alternatives to the current “live with the virus” strategy. It’s possible to adopt a strategy of suppressing the virus. This has been done in a number of countries, including Australia. It involves using extensive lockdowns to drive the number of cases down to very low figures. At the same time, governments commit the resources required for widespread testing, contact tracing that really works and measures to support people isolating when they need to.
Only when there are very few infections and those programs are in place are restrictions relaxed. This is what a growing number of scientists and doctors, some connected to the #COVIDzero initiative, have been calling for. It’s what Building the Canadian Shield proposes. In Manitoba, Communities Not Cuts has launched a Suppress the Virus campaign (see below), urging the government of Manitoba to adopt this path to protect our most vulnerable, our essential workers and everyone else.
It should be accompanied with generous social and economic supports to help people through the pandemic. These include a ban on evictions, rent relief, additional support for workers as requested by their unions and associations, and entrenching paid sick days in the Employment Standards Code.
We also need an approach to public health that is clear and transparent about what the goal is and what’s needed to achieve it – one that aims to mobilize organizations and individuals in a co-operative effort to control the pandemic and promote well-being.
Suppressing the virus won’t be easy. However, to stick with the current strategy is to invite more unnecessary deaths, harm and restrictions on gatherings over the course of 2021. •
This article first published on the Winnipeg Free Press website.
Suppress the Virus Manitoba – Sign the Petition
The Manitoba PC government’s pandemic policy has failed. We need a public health policy that works! Let’s learn from what’s worked in other countries, and implement a socially just pandemic response in Manitoba!
Australia, New Zealand, a number of countries in East Asia, and several other countries around the world have shown that it’s possible to suppress the virus and reopen safely. A growing number of doctors, health researchers and other experts in Canada are calling for governments to adopt public health policies similar to what has proven successful in those countries.
The Terrible Situation in Manitoba Was Avoidable
In June, after the first wave had passed, we recorded 6 consecutive days with 0 new cases, no cases in hospital or intensive care and only 5 active cases in the entire province. We were the envy of Canada and made headlines for how well things were going. It seemed that we were able to manage the virus effectively. Then in August the provincial government launched the ill fated #RestartMB campaign in an attempt to capitalize on Manitoba’s good fortunes and begin its economic recovery. The unraveling began soon after as we saw case counts continue to rise and break daily records repeatedly. As of November 23rd we are now at a critical provincial pandemic response level with 8,498 active cases, 235 deaths and 52 people in the ICU.
So, where do we go from here? All is not lost and we can still come back from this as other jurisdictions have done. In order to do that we need to adopt a strategy to suppress the virus and mitigate transmission.
What do suppression and mitigation mean? Suppression involves an extensive lockdown to get case counts down to the single digits. Mitigation involves a large investment in public health assets including rapid testing, increased lab capacity, monitoring and testing at the borders, added screening for workplaces and schools, vastly increased contact tracing as well as an isolation strategy for those who test positive. All of this requires decisive and collaborative action by the government and the implementation of specific targeted supports to help all Manitobans get through this pandemic.
By signing below, I demand that Brian Pallister and the Government of Manitoba take the following actions to suppress the spread of COVID-19:
1.) Implement a serious lockdown to drive COVID-19 cases down to extremely low numbers; what epidemiologists call suppression.
2.) Create the capacity for mass rapid testing, quick and effective contact tracing, and an isolation strategy for those who test positive; what epidemiologists call mitigation.
3.) Put social and economic supports in place for all Manitobans, especially for low-income households and those who have to continue to work outside their homes during the lockdown.
4.) Adopt a bottom-up approach that actively involves community members and organizations in public health planning and communication efforts and immediately implement the demands put forward by educators and health care workers. (Sign CNC’s petition.)
5.) Implement taxation on major corporations and those with the top 1% of wealth to fund a socially just pandemic response that protects the lives of Manitobans – people over profit.
If you are part of an organization, union or group that would like to officially endorse this campaign please email us at firstname.lastname@example.org. •

Chinese media outlets have voiced their support of the country’s decision to scrap presidential term limits — giving President Xi Jinping an indefinite hold on power — and have suggested China’s future depends on Xi’s Communist Party.
On Sunday, in an almost unanimous vote — with only two against and three abstentions out of almost 3,000 voting — China’s National People’s Congress chose to amend its constitution, abolishing a two-term limit and adding clauses that further strengthened the Communist Party’s powers.
In the days leading up to the vote, which was called by the Communist Party last month, social media users and Western media criticised the move, fearing it would give Xi excessive powers could result in a Mao Zedong-type cult or turn China into a dictatorship.
However, state-run English language broadsheet China Daily this morning defended the decision and hit out at the “shameless” and “malicious” Western “naysayers” who challenged it, adding that ending presidential limits would not consequently “imply lifetime tenure for any leader”.
The newspaper wrote in an editorial:
It has already become a habit for some in the west to speak ill of China’s political system … whenever it comes to China they choose to look at it through tainted glasses.
Yet some people in the west insist otherwise … they revel in their ignorance of China’s reality, and hold fast to their mean, even malicious predisposition towards China’s political system out of their irrational, subjective and unprofessional ideological bias.
They have no compunction about making false claims and consider it excusable to speak so shamelessly.
In a similar piece, Beijing tabloid Global Times argued that Western theories do not apply in China and only other countries are acting as “backseat drivers”, bothering the country with unsolicited advice.
We are increasingly confident that the key to China’s path lies in upholding strong party leadership and firmly following … the party central committee with comrade Xi Jinping at the core.
In these years we have seen the rise and decline of countries and particularly the harsh reality that the Western political system doesn’t apply to developing countries and produces dreadful results.
Meanwhile, Beijing Youth Daily labelled the vote as an “adjustment” that will help to strengthen the party’s leadership and role.
Some state-run media eliminated the comment section from the social media accounts, while others opted to filter them and allow only those in favour of the vote to express their opinion.
Yet some users managed to have their say, as a critic wrote on micro-blogging site Weibo:
“How is it that socialism which is praised has become a monarchy making law?”
Chinese students living in Western countries have also expressed disappointment, with some hanging posters on the walls of their universities with messages such as Xi Jinping is “not my president”.
Since Sunday, Twitter account @StopXiJinping has posted pictures of such posters at the London School of Economics, Columbia University and many others in an attempt to encourage users to join its own campaign against the President.
As far as 7000 miles away and in another hemisphere, people still care about what is happening in China. Thank you, this is heartwarming. Posters @ Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand @VicUniWgtn. Let them know that we disagree! #NotMyPresident #IDISAGREE #我不同意 pic.twitter.com/Hy66OXqRxC
— Xi's Not My President (@StopXiJinping) March 12, 2018
The US-based group Human Rights in China also jumped in on the debate by saying that concentrating excessive power into one person comes with risks.
The group’s executive director Sharon Hom in a statement:
Ending the two-term limit ignores the painful lesson of the Mao era and exposes the Chinese people again to the massive human suffering, abuses and national catastrophe that could result from unaccountable power concentrated in the hands of one person.

Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks
Nothing beats a nice evening with drinks. You can enjoy this even when you take a break. We found a number of alternative drinks with matching snacks. Let those visitors come!
Who needs prosecco or champagne when you can also drink tea with a bubble? Sparkling tea, also known as speaking tea, is increasingly used as a 'gastronomic accompaniment' to dishes. A slightly sparkling tea is especially good with fish snacks. How about this accompanying salmon rolls with cream cheese?
This alternative has been around longer than today, but is being embraced by more and more people. And that is not surprising because this basically fermented tea is low in sugar, very tasty and a real thirst quencher. Kombucha is a source of antioxidants, healthy bacteria, enzymes and vitamins that can support the functioning of your body. Something sour combines well with a glass of kombucha. This snack of rye bread, old cheese and pickles therefore fits perfectly.
More refined flavors, less sugar and lower in calories, that's what we call the adult soft drink. Think of an elderflower lemonade, kefir (a kind of fermented milk drink) or organic energy drink. The rise of adult soft drinks has been trending for years. With a good glass of soda comes a chip & dip. Try this one warm corn dip with tortilla chips at sometime.
Think a step further than soft drinks and you end up with craft soda. Sodas are on trend, especially the version without sugars. Think of small-scale sodas, organic sodas and sodas in the most fruity or spicy flavors. You drink them as they are or you mix them with another drink. Such a strong soda calls for a spicy snack. Sink your teeth into a piece of toast hummus with spicy herb oil. Yummy!
The inspiration for these snacks comes from ah.nl.

Each turbo is balanced 3 different times during the rebuild process, as all turbos must be. All wheels, seals, rings, bearing and thrust plate are replaced with new components. Direct bolt-in replacement, does not require a new manifold.
Note: These turbos are built to order and are NON REFUNDABLE!!
- BK2 – The stock turbo is disassembled and the compressor housing is ported to fit a larger billet 22T compressor wheel. This upgrade offers more CFM at the same boost levels (more air without increasing boost). We get rid of the 11-blade turbine and upgrade it to a 9-blade HL turbine which will improve top-end power. Each turbo is balanced at 3 different times during the rebuild process, as all turbos must be. All wheels, seals, rings, bearing and thrust plate are replaced with new components. Direct bolt-in replacement, does not require a new manifold. Gains from 20-40hp depending on your setup and tune. The 6+6 billet wheel has 6 pairs of blades, each pair has a long blade and a short blade. This wheel will be noisier than the 11 blade, offering more of the turbo whistle and is a larger/better version of the OEM wheel.
- BK1 – We remove the old tiny 13T cast 6+6 compressor wheel with a new 6+6 blade billet 20T compressor wheel which moves more air at the same boost levels. This means more air, more power without any additional stress on the turbo. To improve top end power, we ditch the old tiny 12 blade turbine and put in a larger 9 blade turbine. The turbine housing is machined to fit so this kit comes with a new housing. You will need to send in your old housing!
- Veloster – We removed stock insides and rebuild with a Larger 20T 6+6 billet compressor wheel with a 9 blade turbine.
Purchase options: 1.”Send mine in” means exactly that. You remove the part from your car and send it to us. We rebuild your part and send it right back. Turn around time for this option is usually 4-6 weeks after we received your part.
2. “Core exchange” We will rebuild a turbo core from our stock and send it to you. When you receive the stuffed turbo, you remove the stock turbo from your car and send it back to us within 10 business days. We refund your deposit fee once we receive your stock turbo. Turn around time for this option is based on the current core stock. We do our best to keep cores in stock to minimize the wait time. Further explanation of the core exchange can be found under the “info” tab.
3. “Purchase a core” means you are buying a used part from us, we will rebuild a turbo core we have in stock send it to you. You will keep your stock turbo.
Please note! We warranty and stand behind the quality of these rebuilt turbos, because we use quality replacement parts. However, we do not warranty damage caused by maintenance neglect, poor installation, engine failure or any other system failure on the car, improper break in procedures, any opening or tampering with the turbo, or any other damage caused by the engine or owner. You must follow the break in instructions completely or your turbo may prematurely wear or fail.
These turbos are built to order and are NON REFUNDABLE!!


This should help explain them mate
What it means:
Big manufacturers (in particular Michelin and Continental) design their tyres
so that the casing (basic infrastructure) can be reused. Worn tyres are collected and taken for a safety check. If they meet the quality requirements (are not damaged, not split, not too old, no puncture and worn evenly across) then they are supplied to third party companies such as Profil.
In the case of Profil, tyres are first quality checked and then the old rubber is buffed off the original casing (basic infrastructure), so new rubber can be fitted. From here onwards retread tyres are made exactly the same as brand new tyres.
In the next step they put a new premium quality rubber on the old casing (beads to beads) and put the tyre straight into a hot oven of 120 degrees for about half an hour.
The result is the retread tyres are capable of high speed ratings and good load index, comfortable thanks to the original casing, good grip from premium rubber, lower road noise due to the pattern engineered by e.g., Michelin. The E20 is the safety standard tyres have to meet to be used in European countries.
And last but not least THE ECO FRIENDLY TYRE.
Just to give you some information about how safe retreaded tyres are: single airplane tyres are retreaded up to 8 times, and single truck tyres are retreaded up to 4 times
Are remoulds same as Retread?
Although remoulds and retread tyres both contain old casing and new rubber, remoulds were made using old school glue and cold rubber on top of the casing. Retread tyres are made using the same procedure as new tyres, specifically, beads to beads moulded and hot oven. Therefore retread tyres are better quality than remoulds tyres: better speed ratings and load index, more comfortable, better grip and lower road noise.

The Ban on Studying Gun Violence
The Ban on Studying Gun Violence h/t to TPM:
You’ve probably noticed this. But a big part of the gun violence/regulation debate is the lack of good scientific studies on the subject. And a big reason for that the CDC and NIH have been banned from funding any such studies
Silencing the Science on Gun Research
AMA. 2012;:1-2. doi:10.1001/jama.2012.208207.
Arthur L. Kellermann, MD, MPH; Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH
The nation might be in a better position to act if medical and public health researchers had continued to study these issues as diligently as some of us did between 1985 and 1997. But in 1996, pro-gun members of Congress mounted an all-out effort to eliminate the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although they failed to defund the center, the House of Representatives removed $2.6 million from the CDC's budget—precisely the amount the agency had spent on firearm injury research the previous year. Funding was restored in joint conference committee, but the money was earmarked for traumatic brain injury. The effect was sharply reduced support for firearm injury research.
To ensure that the CDC and its grantees got the message, the following language was added to the final appropriation: “none of the funds made available for injury prevention and control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may be used to advocate or promote gun control.”4
Precisely what was or was not permitted under the clause was unclear. But no federal employee was willing to risk his or her career or the agency's funding to find out. Extramural support for firearm injury prevention research quickly dried up. Even today, 17 years after this legislative action, the CDC's website lacks specific links to information about preventing firearm-related violence.
When other agencies funded high-quality research, similar action was taken. In 2009, Branas et al5 published the results of a case-control study that examined whether carrying a gun increases or decreases the risk of firearm assault. In contrast to earlier research, this particular study was funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Two years later, Congress extended the restrictive language it had previously applied to the CDC to all Department of Health and Human Services agencies, including the National Institutes of Health.6

The Cuban government inaugurated this Thursday the first broad-spectrum antibiotic plant on the island, which, according to the authorities, will allow the production of medicines for intensive care and whose importation represents an expense of up to eight million dollars a year.
The new plant is part of the 8 de Marzo Pharmaceutical Company and will be the only producer on the island of widely used antibiotics, which act against various pathogenic bacteria. The Cuban Presidency reported on social networks that the facility has the capacity to meet national demand and even export, although it will be necessary to wait until April and May for the first batches of drugs to reach the National Health System, if everything goes according to plan. .
President Miguel Díaz-Canel described the opening of the plant as “a feat” due to the “difficult year” the island has faced in the midst of a shortage of most products for daily use. Without specifying the investment or capacity of the factory, the Government indicated that injectables such as meropenem, rocephin and cefotaxime will be produced at the new plant, used to treat bacterial infections, pneumonia and meningitis.
A note published at the beginning of August by the official newspaper Granma announced the construction of this plant, which would be the third under the supervision of the 8 de Marzo Pharmaceutical Company. The two previous ones are dedicated to the elaboration of oral cephalosporins and penicillins. At that time, Eduardo Martínez Díaz, president of the state company BioCubaFarma, indicated that the importation of antibiotics costs between seven and eight million dollars a year, so the delivery of operations of the plant will reduce expenses.
Without specifying the investment or capacity of the factory, the Government indicated that injectables such as meropenem, rocephin and cefotaxime will be produced at the new plant.
The Prime Minister of Cuba, Manuel Marrero, also inaugurated this Thursday a surgical unit at the Julio Aristegui Hospital, located in the municipality of Cárdenas, Matanzas. Qualified as “modern”, the new facility has six rooms for different specialties and, in the words of Marrero, “will reduce the long waiting list of patients” in the province.
The unit also has two recovery rooms, sterilization areas, and rooms for medical personnel. The authorities estimate that it will benefit some 250,000 Cubans residing in the closest municipalities such as Perico, Jovellanos and Martí.
During his tour of the Matanzas municipality, Marrero also visited the accommodation and social protection center, inaugurated last August with a capacity to serve 25 people. His tour included the La Dominica hotel, declared a national monument because it was the first place where the Cuban flag flew on May 19, 1850, but which is currently in the process of being repaired.
In the same way, the official press points out, the prime minister participated in the second ordinary session of the Municipal Assembly of People’s Power for the approval of the territory’s budget for 2023. According to the official with the usual triumphalism, next year will be ” victories”, but “the greatest amount of problems” will have to be solved first.

Lovely food, great ambience, great service .a must visit in Padova.Today was my third visit. Enjoyed the food and wine dished out by an arabic speaking chef.
We had a wonderful corporate dinner, and the fish assortment was great. Also perfect for couples as the piano creates a very romantic atmosphere.
This place has a somewhat Hollywood-like ambience and targets the well-to-do guest. It is well known for its seafood. Service is efficient and friendly. The dishes all lack sophistication. The portions are very large, and it is clear that quantity here trumps quality. We rated the food as standard, average fare, would have expected more imagination and character and more... More
Meanwhile, thanks for losing your valuable time to review, my restaurant. I'm sorry that your written assessment does not reflect the opinion you have expressed verbally. with regard to the criticism, the restaurant is not nouvelle cuisine and the amount of standard Italian pasta reflects the portion that is 80/100gr of pasta or 250g of gnocchi.all the more so since...

From the moment we walked in we found this restaurant to be unique in a very good way the hostess was charming and friendly plus she spoke English very well. There was 4 of us and we all ordered the Insalata Mista which was one of the best salad's we ever had plus the aceto balsamic was so good. For... More
Our hotel recommended Ai Navigli to us as a nice little seafood restaurant. Total understatement as it was one our best meals we have had in Italy and we have been here a month. I would, without hesitation, recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a departure from the regular fare.
thank you for your nice words. Your satisfaction is our satisfaction because it makes us happy and helps us grow. thanks. Elena e massimo More
We wanted to have a special Valentine,s Day Dinner in Padova, where we are staing for several weeks. I noticed on a Padova web site, Gustare Padova, Ai Naviglia was offering a fixed priced dinner for Valetine,s Day. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable at the same time.

I bumped into this restaurant by chance while walking in the streets of Padua during Winter Holidays. I was not disappointed: the seafood was absolutely exquisite and prepared in an original way. It was comparable in freshness and quality to the best seafood I have eaten – I come from a seafood producing region in Brittany, France. The wine list (mostly... More

Scientists funded by the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science have found that projected changes in coastal Gulf of Mexico land use and land cover could increase the extent of storm surge flooding by up to 70 percent above flooding from projected sea level rise alone.
Using a newly developed predictive model, the University of Central Florida team examined the interaction of land use and land cover, sea level rise scenarios, and topography on storm surge from Hurricane Katrina for past (1960), present (2005), and future (2050) conditions. Land use and land cover changes, particularly increased urbanization, exacerbated storm surge flooding. Conversely, changes in coastal topography had mixed effects, ranging from an 80 percent increase in flooding over projected sea level rise in some regions to more than a 100 percent decrease in other regions. For example, alterations in barrier islands, which line much of the Gulf of Mexico coast, did not reduce the extent of flooding, but did influence where flooding occurred. These results highlight the variety of factors that create the non-linear, dynamic response of coastal regions to sea level rise and storm surge.
The study was published in the Jan. 14, 2014 issue of Geophysical Research Letters .

PRESIDENT BUSH In an interview yesterday the the radio personality Rush Limbaugh in New York City.
"You asked me why people are upset. The deficits have been big under me. Why? Because we paid in this savings and loan mess for excesses. People -- private businesses did too much. They went out and loaned money that they shouldn't have loaned. And the taxpayer ends up getting burned, except I vowed we must protect every single depositor, and we've done that. Not a bailout from some institution. Protect the depositor.
We've protected him, but that adds to the deficit. So I have to bear some responsibility for that. I keep blaming Congress for certain things while accepting blame myself, because Congress has frustrated my economic growth program that I put before the American people in January. They didn't want to see the economy get better because they knew very well the politics worked against them. " GOV. BILL CLINTON At a news conference yesterday in Chicago.
"Keep in mind that most Americans according to the census are working harder today than they were 20 years ago for incomes, which, adjusted for inflation, are lower than they were 10 years ago. That is in spite of the fact of dramatic increases in productivity by some of the companies represented here and many companies in this country.
Why is that? It's because we have stubbornly refused to develop the kind of partnership for growth and opportunity in this country that the global economy requires, a partnership which will require us, in my judgment, to adopt an across-the-board investment tax credit for new plant and equipment so that we can continually have incentives to reinvest and modernize our plants here and our small businesses; a partnership that requires, in my judgment, the infusion of new amounts of venture capital into new ventures and therefore we ought to have a long-term capital gains treatment for investment in new ventures in America; a partnership that requires a comprehensive and permanent research and development tax credit and significant housing incentives to revitalize the construction industry in this country; and more importantly, a partnership that requires us to make a comprehensive long-term commitment to the education and training of all of our people and to creating a climate in this country that supports the development of new technologies, supports the revitalization of our manufacturing sector, supports and strengthens our effort to promote small business.

Here’s a story of a NYPD police officer that found out what this homeless man really needs. What really got me was the officer heard that there were somebody who were making joke or laughing about a homeless guy with no socks or shoes on. The officer, instead of ignoring and continue doing his duties, he did what he could to help. Let’s find out the story of the police officer and the homeless man in this video.
It maybe just a little thing for the police officer or others, but for that homeless man, it was a lot.

The series premiere of Law & Order will zero in on a single storyline that will mark the first time three shows from the franchise have intersected.
All three shows in the Law & Order umbrella, the original L&O, SVU and Organized Crime — will come together for a single story spanning their season premieres on Sept. 22. It’s a first for Law & Order but not for executive producer Dick Wolf, whose teams have pulled off similar three-show events on NBC’s Chicago dramas and CBS’ FBI franchise. Law & Order showrunner Rick Eid and Chicago PD’s Gwen Sigan wrote the feature-length telecast for the upcoming premiere which is hoping to draw in more viewers.
“Nothing demonstrates the power of the Law & Order brand more than an ambitious three-hour event with a story that is truly ripped from the headlines that starts on Organized Crime, then migrates to SVU and finally the trial on Law & Order,” Wolf said in a statement. “Rick and Gwen did an amazing job writing a compelling script, and I can’t think of a bigger and better way to launch the new season of Law & Order Thursday.”
The story begins with the death of a girl. Homicide Detective Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) teams up with Jalen Shaw (new L&O cast member Mehcad Brooks) to track down her killer. Capt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) are called in to help when they realize they have more than a typical homicide case on their hands. After uncovering key evidence, Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) and ADA Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) seek justice against an international crime ring, but complications threaten the case.
“This unprecedented scheduling block is a tribute to all the Law & Order fans who’ve been watching this iconic brand for four decades on NBC,” said Lisa Katz, president scripted programming at NBCU Television and Streaming. “We couldn’t be more excited to open our season with such a historic event.”
The nominal scheduling for the three shows is the reverse of their usual order, with Organized Crime leading off the night and SVU and L&O following.

The upcoming Kia Sonet compact SUV has managed to garner a lot of interest among the car buyers even before the launch. Kia Sonet is the South Korean brand's third offering in the domestic market after the much successful Seltos mid-size SUV and Carnival premium MPV. The new SUV is aimed at the growing number of buyers looking to buy compact SUVs, an affordable sub-4 metre segment with tall body to tackle Indian roads.
Interestingly, the Kia Sonet will get most of its features and mechanicals borrowed from the bigger and expensive elder sibling Seltos SUV, including the diesel engine option. While the Kia Sonet will get 1.2-litre petrol and 1.0-litre turbo petrol engines as opposed to 1.5-litre and 1.4-litre turbo units of Seltos, the diesel engine will be same 1.5-litre unit.
Not just the engine size, but the power output will be same as well, and will be rated at 115 hp, making it the most powerful compact SUV in its segment as far as diesel engine is concerned. There will be a lower spec 1.5-litre engine as well with 100 hp output, the one powering the Hyundai Venue as well.
This higher-speced engine will be mated only to a 6-speed automatic gearbox, unlike the other rivals which are mostly offering AMT gearbox as a form of two-pedal technology. Case in point, Hyundai Venue gets a DCT gearbox only with the 1.0-litre GDI turbo petrol engine.
The regular speced 100 hp 1.5-litre diesel unit will get a 6-speed manual gearbox on the other hand. The petrol motors will get a manual, brand's unique iMT gearbox and a 7-speed DCT gearbox based on the engine type.
Apart from the engine, Kia Sonet is borrowing the largest-in-segment 10.25 inch touchscreen infotainment system from the Seltos, that gets company's connected technology UVO with 57 features. Few other features include ventilated seats, wireless charging, BOSE surround sound system, among others.
The Kia Sonet was unveiled on August 7 globally and the pre-bookings have already started at INR 25,000. The launch is expected to take place in the coming weeks as the company will try to cash on the raised buyer's sentiments during the festive season.

Jesse and the gang survived the Sea Temple, but they brought home a little more than they bargained for: a lost adventurer, a powerful device, and a colossal enemy capable of grinding Beacontown to dust.

Bil-Jac® Sensitive Solutions Adult Dog Food
My canine as a pup at 6 month old and large breed, of which I learned has food allergies and losing weight. This was discovered due the fact after having him for one month(@ 5months) he was losing weight, I learned he was allergic to the food brand served. I looked for many brands and this one was the only one that had the type of protein infused he wasn't allergic too. I ordered this brand and I was taken aback to the fact the food it self looked like type of grain that you serve to a horse.. not dog kibbles...hmm interesting I thought.. and the feed had a nice smell also, different than the smell from other dog food brands. Anyway, I served this to my canine, who ate this down like a HORSE, literally he couldn't eat it fast enough when served. I also sprinkle a little water on the feed as well which only infused the smell of this food. I kid you not, after three weeks of two feeding a day, my pup gain 11 pounds, 11 pounds!!!.. so he's actually at the weight he should be as large breed pup of 6 months old. His coat shines, his adult teeth came forth within the first two week of feeding him Bil Jac. Thanks Bil Jac and I too- a resident of MAryland where the brand is made, your brand is excellent and saved my pup from food allergy problems..tryng to find the right brand and this is the only brand thus far showing results do to food allergies.. as in the Brand's moto "feed them Bil Jac and see the difference"

No More Gas
This food is the first that we've found that completely eliminates our two English Bulldogs gas problems and eliminated vomiting after eating. Both have sensitive stomachs and this product did wonders. We even tried food specially formulated for English Bulldogs and this is the one we're sticking with!
May 27, 2014
My dog was a very fussy eater she loves this food no more throwing food away she cleans her bowl every time and the sales associate for the product was so helpful I love the food no more waisting money throwing food out thank you bil-jac
March 30, 2014
I had noticed that my dog was shedding more than usual, I mean you could just pet her and have a hand full of fur. I figured that it was probably due to the fact that the very popular and well advertised brand of food that I was feeding her probably was lacking in the nutrition department , as she is a very active dog. A friend of mine came by with his pit-bull puppy and I commented on how shiny the pups coat was, he mentioned that he was feeding him Bil-Jac puppy and gave me a few cups to try. Well, all three of my dogs absolutely love their food, I feed them the sensitive formula. My pit-bull with the shedding problem now has shiny and very soft fur, my min-pin gets extremely excited doing circles at breakfast time and my terrier mix guards her food and even saves some for dinner time. I would highly recommend this food to my friends, it is well worth the money.

Health Departments Warn of Restaurant Scams
December 9, 2016
Some restaurants in Ohio have reported receiving calls from scammers pretending to be food service inspectors.
In a typical incident, a caller will contact a restaurant claiming to be from the local or county health department and request a credit card number to pay for an inspection. The caller may also claim that there has been a complaint filed against the restaurant.
To help avoid this scam:
- If your restaurant receives an in-person visit from someone claiming to be a county health inspector, ask to see his or her ID issued by the county.
- Do not provide credit card information to strangers claiming to be from your county health department. Find out how your legitimate county health department conducts business so you will spot irregularities from any potential imposters.
- Find out of the county food service inspectors charge for their inspection services. If your county’s inspections are free, you will know that if anyone approaching a restaurant management or staff by phone, email, or in person, claiming to be a county inspector and wanting credit card information will be an imposter.
For more information about this scam in Ohio, at least two public health departments have issued alerts.
- Hamilton County Public Health news release:
- Dayton & Montgomery County Public Health scam alert:

PETALING JAYA: Local publishing company ZI Publications Sdn Bhd has published the Bahasa Malaysia version of the bestseller “Billion Dollar Whale”, a tell-all book on the infamous 1MDB scandal.
Its first print of 10,000 copies has been in stores nationwide for two weeks now and is enjoying brisk sales.
Entrepreneur Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof launched the book this afternoon at an event held at the home of former minister Zaid Ibrahim, who owns ZI Publications.
The book is priced at RM70 in bookstores.
Zaid told the crowd at the launch that the book, which was translated by Zaleha Abidin, who was formerly with the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, was “well written” in a way that everyone could understand.
“Billion Dollar Whale”, written by Wall Street Journal reporters Tom Wright and Bradley Hope, documents the 1MDB scandal and the role of fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho, who is accused of embezzling billions of dollars from the state fund.
“Billion Dollar Whale” was released by New York-based Hachette Books in September this year.
Later that month, Zaid said his publishing company had obtained the rights to translate and publish the Bahasa Malaysia version of the book.
At the time, Zaid had said the book’s Malay version would carry the book’s original title in English rather than a literal translation of the title which would read, “Ikan Paus Billion Dollar” — seen as distasteful by some.
Redzuan told a press conference later that he hoped the book, which he said was “excellently written”, would effectively penetrate the Malay demographic in Malaysia and enlighten them about the scandal and alleged wrongdoings.
He said some Malays were still “obsessed” with their choice of leaders. This is why they would probably shrug the book off as a “big lie”, he said.
“The people will only accept (the book) if they feel it can impact them.”
Redzuan said the scandal was what eventually got him involved in politics. He said he joined Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Muhyiddin Yassin as part of the original 12 to start PPBM.
He later ran for a parliamentary seat in Melaka. He is now the Alor Gajah MP and a minister in Mahathir’s Cabinet.
“People were talking about how bad Malaysia was. It was difficult to sell our country to them when I was a businessman and get them to come here and work with me.
“I did some private investigations and found out something was brewing in the country slowly,” he said, adding he was in touch with the US Department of Justice to find out more about 1MDB and the alleged money laundering going on.
Asked about the reluctance of Low Taek Jho, better known as Jho Low, to return to Malaysia and answer allegations levelled against him in court, Redzuan said he felt it would be a waste of time to “hunt” for people like him.
He said he would leave it to the police to catch these culprits.
Jho Low proclaimed his defiance recently in response to a warrant of arrest issued against him by a court in connection with the 1MDB scandal, saying Mahathir’s government has “no regard for the rule of law”.
Zaid, meanwhile, who has since “retired” from politics and blogging in his personal capacity, said he would be getting himself involved in a food business. He said this was probably due to his roots in Kelantan, where entrepreneurship in food businesses is largely successful.
Zaid was among individuals instrumental in the coming together of opposition forces during the run-up to the 14th general election. Pakatan Harapan toppled Barisan Nasional on May 9.

On its seventh recording, Florida Rays, the University of Central Florida's always dependable Flying Horse Big Band abandons its usual modus operandistraight-from-the-hip contemporary jazzto survey music associated with R&B legend (and Florida native) Ray Charles. As Charles, an accomplished musician, was best known as a vocalist, one might anticipate (correctly) that a handful of Charles' progeny would be stopping by to unmask their vocal talents. There are four singers in all: Rob Paparozzi , Vance Villastrigo, DaVonda Simmons and, last but not least, Khristian Dentley. Their presence leaves room for only a pair of instrumentalsthe strong yet flavorful opener, "One Mint Julep," and Herbie Hancock's emphatic "Watermelon Man," both ably scored by the band's director, Jeff Rupert.
Indeed, it is the impressive charts by Rupert, Harry Allen, Per Danielsson, Michael Philip Mossman, Mark Taylor and Richard Drexler that redeem for the most part what could have been a perfunctory and tedious recitation of Charles' greatest hits. The band bends its collective shoulder to the wheel, helping transform the customary R&B licks and rhythms into something more closely akin to big-band jazz. As for the vocalists, even though none of them is named Ray Charles they are exemplary stand-ins, each one mirroring in his or her own way the incomparable sagacity and charisma of the master. Paparozzi, who doubles on harmonica, is center stage on half a dozen numbers including four in a row ("Let the Good Times Roll," "Hallelujah I Love Her So," "I'm Movin' On," "It Should've Been Me"), Villastrigo on four ("It Should've Been Me," "What'd I Say," "You Don't Know Me," "Unchain My Heart").
Simmons makes the most of her three appearanceson "Lonely Avenue," "What'd I Say" and (with Paparozzi) "Hit the Road, Jack"as does Dentley on Joe Raposo's plaintive anthem for Kermit the Frog, "(It's Not Easy) Bein' Green." Tenor saxophonist Ryan Devlin fashions a superb solo there, a manifesto he amplifies on "One Mint Julep," "Hallelujah," "Watermelon Man" and "Hit the Road." Other admirable soloists include guitarist Daniel Howard, tenor Dylan Hannan ("I'm Movin On") and trombonists Jeremiah St. John and Christian Herrera, who trade sturdy salvos on "Let the Good Times Roll." This is an enterprising albeit anomalous cruise that could easily have run aground but doesn't, thanks largely to Rupert's superior leadership and those wonderful arrangers. Kudos to them and to that admirable band, whose abiding spirit has enabled the Florida Rays to focus their radiant light on the memorable music of Ray Charles.
