To a dog owner, daycare service can be the answer to many problems. If you work long days, and feel guilty about leaving your pet at home or they are destructive or anxious when left alone, they can instead spend the day with the next best thing to you – their favorite four-legged and two-legged best friends! An added bonus is bringing home a tired, satisfied pup, instead of coming home to a ball of energy when you yourself are lacking it. Other benefits to daycare include socialization (great for shy dogs or dogs who don’t know how to play) and basic training.
Do you love your dog but they’re driving you crazy?
Do you want a dog who is calmer, polite, and listens – a dog you can be proud of?
Have you tried everything and are at the end of your leash?
We can help! We offer a full range of unique, flexible, convenient programs. Our techniques are gentle, common sense and we get results – guaranteed! Together we can help you reach your dog’s full potential.
Love your dog (again)!

Saying that Disney is being tight lipped about the new Abrams Star Wars films is putting it lightly. In fact he doesn’t even get to see the light of day.
During an interview with the Daily Telegraph Abrams stated that,
“My office… I’m working on the Star Wars script today and the people in my office have covered up all my windows with black paper. I guess they wanted to make sure no one could see what I was doing. it seems rather extreme.”
No matter how many windows they black out or precautions they take, leaks can come from within. Speaking on the point of scripts in the digital age,
“I do think there’s something about the digital age that is increasingly dehumanising us. We’re in this very weird place where we’re being pulled into experiences that aren’t really experiences at all. When you’re printing something on a Chandler & Price letterpress, even though it might take a long time and it’s imperfect, isn’t that the point?”
He goes on to say,
“We’re living in a moment of instant information and a sense of entitlement to that information. But I think it’s nice to remember that there’s nothing wrong with a sense of anticipation.”

Integrating all bias, control and power management functions into a single chip, the latest low noise block (LNB) satellite controllers from Zetex Semiconductors help achieve LNB size reductions of up to 30 percent, according to the company. Three LNB controllers have been introduced: The ZXNB4100 (negative volt bias) and ZXNB4200 (zero volt bias) for single universal LNBs with FET switching topologies, and the ZXNB2200 for C-band LNB designs. Offered in 16-pin 3 mm × 3 mm and 4 mm ×4 mm QFN packages, the controllers require just three external components to function. ZXNB controllers provide biasing for up to three GaAS FET LNA stages and an active mixer. To optimize system performance, the drain current of LNA FETs and the active mixer is user selectable, via an external reference resistor. The on-board voltage detector enables the required polarization channel, while a 22 kHz tone detector -- with integrated filter and signal rejection -- handles switching between high and low band oscillators. ZXNB controllers are “self powering,” bringing the voltage regulator into the LNB controller chip for the very first time. They are able to provide a temperature compensated, high current output voltage sufficient to power all parts of the LNB circuit, such as IF amplifier stages. This allows LNB controller to also protect against overload, over-temperature and installation errors. The ZXNB4100 and ZXNB4200 are unit priced at $1.78 at 1,000 quantity (3mm x 3mm QFN package). The ZXNB2200 is unit priced at $1.63 at 1,000 quantity.

Last Market Tuesday of the Season
Last week of our farm market! Thank you for making this harvest season wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed hearing your feasting stories, seeing your children delight in new veggies, hearing excitement over feeding chickens, connecting with folks from week to week and sharing the beauty of the farm and farm veggies with you.
Winter Squash 101
It's more than a beautiful display! Winter squash are really fabulous to eat and they store really well (for months actually). Here's 5 reasons to eat winter squash:
1. It's one of those super foods - high in anti-oxidants: squash has a good amount of beta-carotene (orange!). There is also a good amount of vitamin C and Manganese.
2. You can stuff it!
3. It's one of those vegetables that you can eat as a dessert!
4. Each variety has it's own unique characteristics and can be eaten in different ways: Green Buttercup in soups, Butternut squash sliced, breaded and roasted, hubbard in coconut curries, small acorn and festival, and delicata squash half and stuffed with sausage, apples, walnuts and cheese.
5. It stores for a long time. We usually finish our winter squash store in Feburary or March. Keep them in a cool, dry place. Before storing them wash them with a small amount of bleach to clean the outsides well so that bacteria doesn't grow on them (causing them not to store as long).
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

The Indigenous-Aboriginal Party of Australia became officially registered as a party late last month and will be standing candidates in the federal election next year.
Uncle Owen Whyman, a Paakindji man from Wilcannia put together a group of 9 Indigenous people from all over NSW to start the first political party in Australia targeting Indigenous issues.
“We know getting our people into all the parliaments of Australia is a crucial step in solving all these problems,” said Uncle Owen.
Glenda Merritt is the Indigenous Party of Australia’s candidate for Grayndler, running against leader of the opposition Anthony Albanese.
She plans to ask the next federal government when funds earmarked to reduce Indigenous suicide will be used to create the necessary services, and when will Australia’s First Nations Treaty process commence?
A Ngunnawal woman and community leader, Merritt grew up on the mission in her hometown of Yass and has worked in Sydney for over 11 years.
Ideas of Merritt
Glenda Merritt. Photo: Facebook/Indigenous Party of Australia.
Merritt believes in the right to self-determination, human rights, equal opportunity and freedom of choice. She advocates for Closing the Gap in the workforce, education, social justice and health areas.
She said Indigenous youth suicide and incarceration are among the worst in the world.
“To address these issues, I will advocate for Indigenous Youth Head Spaces. We know there is a lot of suspicion of authority and shame around asking for help, but I know if there was a place where Indigenous kids could speak to another Indigenous person, that initial barrier would be removed, and lives would be saved. Indigenous people must have control over services that cater for Indigenous issues and lives.
“We need to get imaginative instead of going straight to incarceration as a solution, which we know is not working, and only leading to greater issues. I will be asking the federal government to put pressure on the states to drastically reduce Indigenous incarceration now.”
Merritt believes education is a leveller, “current generations, Indigenous and non-Indigenous should have the same benefits that previous generations had, including many of our current politicians, a free tertiary education.”
Merritt wants to add ‘Recognised Indigenous Healing Services’ to Medicare.
“This service would support taking Indigenous youth onto Country where they can learn about culture and build their sense of self and community. This type of therapy has been proven to help turn the lives around of young men and women lost in a world of self-abuse and depression. There is absolutely no reason why this wouldn’t have the same positive results for non-Indigenous youth as well.”

Really nice private garden with even a barbecue if you prefer to stay in. Two rooms are inside, the other two are accessible via the garden which makes it all the more special. Please be aware that the location is in the Limited Traffic Zone (just Google ZTL Florence) so if you're coming by car you must find an appropriate parking spot outside, or speak to a parking lot which can arrange parking permission. Our stay was lovely and the location is very close to all the interest points of Florence. 5 minute walk to the Dome, supermaket nearby, about 15-20 min to Ponte Vecchio, basically it's the city centre.

Mission MightyMe, the children’s food brand on a mission to help prevent food allergies with early allergen introduction, was honored by Fast Company, this week, during the announcement of its 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards, honoring the businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to pursuing innovation when it comes to solving health and climate crises, social injustice, or economic inequality.
Named as a finalist in the Food Category, Mission MightyMe is applauded for bringing solutions to the growing epidemic of childhood food allergies. The brand offers parents a baby-friendly snack option that makes it simple to follow new peanut allergy prevention guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, NIH, USDA and many others, that now recommend starting peanut foods in infancy, and consuming them regularly, to prevent peanut allergies.
The new guidelines are based on the groundbreaking 2015 LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut Allergy) Study, a five-year randomized controlled trial led by Mission MightyMe Co-Founder, Dr. Gideon Lack, that proved most peanut allergies can be prevented by regularly consuming peanut foods, starting in infancy.
A panel of eminent Fast Company editors and reporters selected winners and finalists from a pool of more than 4,000 entries across transportation, education, food, politics, technology, and more. The 2021 awards feature entries from across the globe, from Brazil to Denmark to Vietnam.
“It’s an incredible honor and privilege to be recognized by Fast Company for this award, alongside some of the most innovative brands in the world,” said JJ Jaxon, Co-Founder of Mission MightyMe. “We launched Mission MightyMe just over one year ago to help other families prevent food allergies, after this growing public health crisis impacted our own daughter. We still have a lot of work to do, but we’re thrilled and humbled to be recognized along with this remarkable group of innovators working to make the world a better place.”
Showcasing some of the world’s most inventive entrepreneurs and companies tackling global challenges, Fast Company’s Summer 2021 issue (on newsstands May 10) highlights, among others, a lifesaving bassinet; the world’s largest carbon sink, carbon-eating concrete; 3D-printed schools; an at-home COVID-19 testing kit; a mobile voting app; and the world’s cleanest milk.
“There is no question our society and planet are facing deeply troubling times. So, it’s important to recognize organizations that are using their ingenuity, impact, design, scalability, and passion to solve these problems,” says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “Our journalists, under the leadership of senior editor Morgan Clendaniel, have discovered some of the most groundbreaking projects that have launched since the start of 2020.”
Indeed, the rate of nut allergies has tripled and food allergies have increased by more than 50 percent among children, since health guidelines issued in the year 2000 recommended avoiding nuts and other potential food allergens in infancy.
Those guidelines have now been overturned, but having followed the old avoidance recommendations with their first child, Catherine and JJ Jaxon, Co-founders and Co-CEO’s of MightyMe, discovered their daughter had developed a severe nut allergy by age three. When their third child was born in 2015, learning of Dr. Lack’s LEAP Study gave them hope that they could potentially prevent him from developing a food allergy like his older sister did, with early introduction and regular feeding of peanut foods and other common food allergens.
The brand’s first product, MightyMe Proactive Peanut Puffs, are quick-dissolve puffs made with simple, organic, non-GMO ingredients. Each pouch contains the precise weekly amount of peanut protein used in the LEAP Study and recommended by The American Academy of Pediatrics.
MightyMe’s Proactive Peanut Puffs were developed to age up with children as they grow, since the LEAP Study showed the importance of regularly feeding peanut foods for at least the first 5 years of life. The puffs dissolve quickly for babies and taste delicious for big kids, making them both a safe way to include peanut in infant diets, and a nutritious, clean-label snack for the whole family.

Congress, Left Will Stoop to Any Level to Oust Me: PM Narendra Modi in Tripura
Taking a jibe at the Congress manifesto, Modi said that the grand old party came out with their hypocrisy document of 50-60 pages but didn't mention the middle-class even once in the notification.

Udaipur: Hitting out at the Congress and the Left Front, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sunday the opposition parties were hell-bent on removing him from power, even if that meant singing paeans to Pakistan.
Addressing a rally in Udaipur, Modi said the people of Tripura has set a precedent for the entire country by ousting the Left Front government after 25 years.
"Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress has been trying its best to make inroads into Tripura, but people haven't allowed that. They tolerated the atrocities of the Left Front, waiting patiently for the BJP to rise. I thank the people of Tripura for believing in the BJP," he stated.
Modi asserted that the opposition parties could stoop to any level to remove him from power.
"The Congress and the Left are working together to oust Modi. They have stooped too low, singing paeans to Pakistan even when the NDA government was taking on the terrorists on the soil of the neighbouring country. Am I not doing the right thing by giving a befitting reply to the enemies of the country?" he asked the people who gathered at the rally.
Taking a jibe at the Congress manifesto, Modi said, "The grand old party came out with their hypocrisy document of 50-60 pages. They haven't mentioned the middle-class even once in the notification. The middle-class has long suffered under the Congress rule. Some parties, including the Congress, have said that more taxes should be levied on the middle-class."
Attacking the Left parties, he said, they consider their "party's constitution bigger than that of the country's".
"The Left parties don't want to give the country a direction. They are only keen on improving their own condition," Modi said.
Heaping praise on chief minister Biplab Deb, he said the state government has improved the law and order situation and developed infrastructure in just one year.
"Our government has started procuring agricultural produces from the farmers directly. The middlemen and the moneylenders have suffered a setback," he claimed.
Under the Saubhagya scheme, the NDA government has ensured power connection in almost all homes in the state, the prime minister noted.
"As promised before the assembly election, we have initiated work on broad gauge rail line, built bridges, started train services, connecting Agartala with other parts of the country. Work is also underway to give Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport an international makeover," he added.
Election to two Lok Sabha seats in Tripura will be held on April 11 and 18.

CONCEALMENT 11 Lorcin’s Infamous L-25 Tom Marshall 3 Comments, Join the Conversation This article originally appeared in CONCEALMENT ISSUE 11 The Pistol Normally Known as “Exhibit A” Junk guns. Mouse guns. Pocket pistols. Saturday night specials. Suicide specials. A most unflattering litany of nicknames for a particular size, shape, and class of pistol: cheaply made .25 ACP automatics with 2- to 3-inch barrels. A handful of companies based out of California were the primary manufacturers of such pistols — an intertwined conglomerate of small businesses once dubbed the “Ring of Fire” by a UC Davis health professor, due to their disproportionate use in holdups, muggings, and street violence in the mid ’90s. One of these companies was Lorcin Engineering, which had a rather meteoric rise, and fall, even by firearms industry standards. The company was founded in 1989. In 1993, they were the leading handgun manufacturer in the United States, producing nearly 350,000 pistols that year. In 1996, they filed for bankruptcy — under the weight of 18 separate lawsuits for product liability, personal injury, or wrongful death. They emerged from bankruptcy in January of 1997, only to file again in August of 1998, with an additional 22 lawsuits pending at that time. We were flat-out amazed to locate an L-25 in such incredibly clean condition. That’s where the amazement stopped, though. Even though it’s been a decade since Lorcin closed up shop, their immense production volume means that plenty of these pistols are still floating around. We bet most of them are in the same pawnshops they started out in 10-plus years ago. The rest are likely languishing in large metropolitan evidence rooms all over the country. We happened to find ours in a family owned, upper-middle-class gun shop. This is a store the author frequents on a regular basis and isn’t prone to bargain basement inventory. The owners say it came in as part of a large lot of consignment guns from an individual who had been collecting his whole life and was looking to off-load some of his selection. At a whopping $90 flat, it was the perfect candidate for this infant column. The Awesome Given this gun’s well-documented track record for poor quality, this particular one was in absolutely pristine condition. The finish was silky smooth, the bore was clean, and it came with all the original packaging: a box, instruction pamphlet, and two shiny magazines. The box was in “gently used” condition. The instruction pamphlet didn’t even have a coffee ring on it. This Lorcin looks as good as any Lorcin ever will. Our initial impression was a little like getting the last loaded potato skin off an appetizer sampler. Hornady currently produces a 35-grain XTP load for .25 ACP, which fed with about 75-percent reliability. Not good, but better than expected. Hornady’s XTP bullet is too good for this gun. But if you can get it to function, it’ll be your best chance in a fight. The OK Our test gun didn’t perform nearly as bad as we expected. From the 5-yard line, we were getting five-shot groups in the 2-inch range. At a two-digit sale price, we were anticipating groups twice that size. Having said that, the gun consistently shot right. We passed it off to three other shooters and everyone got the same result: 2-inch groups, 2 inches right of point-of-aim. That’s at 5 yards. Extrapolate for distance as appropriate. This gun was clearly designed for use at dinner table distances. The sights are little more than a half pipe on the top of the slide. Good luck seeing them if a cloud happens to pass overhead while you’re aiming. The Awful The gun is constructed almost entirely of Zamak — a lightweight alloy consisting primarily of zinc, with small proportions of aluminum or other metals just so that you can’t chop it up with a butter knife. With the Lorcin’s reputation for poor function, you’re in almost as much danger behind it as you are in front of it. Mechanical deficiencies aside, the .25 ACP is wildly underpowered. We give a smile and a hat-tip to Hornady for their efforts. But a 35-grain slug out of the Lorcin’s 2-inch barrel generates a disappointing 63 foot-pounds of muzzle energy. This is the ballistic equivalent of “well … at least he’s funny.” If we had to defend ourselves against a close-quarters threat, and we could choose between a .25 auto and a sharp stick, our first question would be “how long is the stick?” Conclusion It shoots, and it groups, for less than the bar tab at our last team dinner. Potential buyers should expect most specimens to be in miserable condition, if they function at all. Even if you happen to find yourself a winner, remember that these guns aren’t built to last. Moisture, abrasion, and routine use will erode them at warp speed. But maybe a gun in the hand is worth two on the shelf. You’re probably better off turning the gun sideways than trying to line up these sights with any sense of urgency.

Helicopters can deliver military troops or rescue the wounded in tight spaces, but their rotating blade design also puts a hard limit on their speed and maneuverability. Now researchers have begun flight-testing an unlikely fix inspired by the underwater ballet of humpback whales.
The potentially cheap solution uses small bumps along the front edge of the helicopter blades similar to bumps found on the large pectoral fins of humpback whales. Such bumps give an aerodynamic edge that delays the moment of "stalling" when there's not enough lift to keep the whale from sinking — or a helicopter from stalling out at top speeds.
"Stalling is one of the most serious problems in helicopter aerodynamics — and one of the most complex," said Kai Richter from the DLR Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology in Germany.
Helicopters face a speed limit because their backward-moving rotor blade goes against their forward motion of flight. That problem leads to turbulence and loss of lift, as well as strong forces acting on the rotor, which eventually cause the helicopter to stall out.
German researchers patented the bump idea for helicopters, under the name "Leading-Edge Vortex Generators." Wind tunnel experiments led to a test flight with a helicopter carrying 186 rubber bumps —each less than a quarter of an inch long — glued to its four rotor blades.
"The pilots have already noticed a difference in the behavior of the rotor blades," Richter said. "The next step is a flight using special measuring equipment to accurately record the effects."
If testing goes well, existing helicopters could get a speed boost with simple retrofits. New helicopters could have the design built into their titanium blades during manufacturing.
The natural bump design already helps humpback whales swim at speeds of up to 16.5 miles per hour, or about five times faster than the fastest human swimmer.
"Research has shown that these bumps cause stalling to occur significantly later underwater and increase buoyancy," said Holger Mai from the DLR Institute of Aeroelasticity in Germany. "Flow phenomena in water are similar to those in air; they just need to be scaled accordingly."

To create a beautiful rangoli design with chalk you’ll need a few items for this project-chalk, a piece of paper, and a tray or other surface that you can draw on.
First, you’ll want to sketch your design onto the paper, then use the chalk to copy it onto the tray. If you’re going for a simple design like our example here, make sure your lines are as close together as possible so that they will be easier to “paint” over later.
When you’ve finished your sketching, cover all but one section of it with the paper-the section you left uncovered should be in the center of your design. Finally, put some chalk onto your hands and start filling in your design.
As you go along, make sure to wipe your hands clean on the paper every few minutes so that you’re not creating too much excess chalk on your fingertips.

Drawing rangoli designs with chalk pieces is not an easy task. There are many steps to take before one can finish the design and this article will go through all of them in detail. It has been observed that while drawing, it’s important to keep in mind that there should be no mistakes, or else they may need to start over again which would result in wastage of time and effort. However, if you do make any mistakes then don’t worry because we have got your back!

text: Overview:Pryor Medical Devices, Inc – The REBOA CompanyTM – was formed to provide minimally invasive solutions for noncompressible torso hemorrhage. Noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is defined as hemorrhage arising from trauma to the torso vessels, pulmonary parenchyma, solid abdominal organs, and/or disruption of the bony pelvis resulting in hypotension or shock. It is often called ‘truncal hemorrhage’ for brevity. Truncal hemorrhage is the leading cause of potentially survivable death by trauma. Based on lessons learned during war, there is a strong clinical interest in treating truncal hemorrhage using a minimally invasive vascular technique called Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta, or REBOA.

When you fall ill, the first thing every doctor prescribes is antibiotics. These medications are usually taken with water because when you consume it with fruit juice or a dairy product it can have an adverse affect on the body. On the other hand, when you’re on antibiotics, there are certain foods you must avoid.
Boldsky has prepared a list of foods to avoidwhile on treatment, which will effect the power of the tablet. It is said that the food we consume interacts with the medication in 3 possible ways: firstly, it blocks absorption of the drug. Secondly, it lowers down the rate at which the body absorbs the medication and lastly, it interferes with how the body breaks down the medication.
This is why you should eat right and avoid those foods while on antibiotics. Take a look at the list when on treatment.
The first food to avoid when on antibiotic treatment is those which contain high acidic levels. Chocolates, citrus fruits, tomatoes are some of the foods which affect the body’s ability to absorb the medication.
Except for yoghurt, every other dairy product should be stopped when on antibiotics. Since milk, cheese and paneer have a high amount of calcium, it blocks the absorption of antibiotics. However, yoghurt contains probiotics which have no effect on the medication.
Never consume alcohol when you’re on any medication. The properties present in alcohol will have a terrible effect on the body thus, disabling the medication from working wonders. It is one of the important foods to avoid when on antibiotics.
Fibre foods too should be avoided as they contain properties which slow down the rate at which food is absorbed from your stomach. The antibiotic medication takes its own time to be broken down in the stomach and if you consume high fibre foods the medication will not react well with your system.
Beverages which contain caffeine too should be avoided at any cost when on antibiotic treatment. Caffeine is like poison to the body when on high medication.
Avoid foods which contain a high amount of iron and calcium. It is best to avoid these properties as it interferes with the absorption of the medication.

Sunburn in a child: how to alleviate the condition
The time has come for vacations and vacations. A sunburn in a child is common during this period. Many do reviews, posts and articles on what you need to put in the medicine cabinet, which sun creams to take. But these are measures to prevent unpleasant symptoms. What to do if a child’s sunburn does happen? I will talk about this in this summer article.
What can trigger a sunburn in children
This phenomenon can be caused by exposure to both the sun and artificial UV radiation (lamps). UV can be of two types: A and B (depending on the wavelength). Type B is a thousand times more active. It can quickly lead to burns and damage to the skin, premature aging. It is known that the susceptibility of people to UV radiation is individual and higher in fair-skinned and blue-eyed. They burn faster and stronger. Certain drugs and substances can provoke a quick sunburn in the rest.
Drugs and topical agents that can increase UV sensitivity:
antihypertensives (decrease in pressure);
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). For example, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, indomethacin.
Also, plants can enhance sensitivity to rays. These include dill, celery, lemon, grapefruit and St. John’s wort. There are many more such plants, but I mentioned only those that can be in the child’s diet.
Sunburn in children: treatment
If sunburn in children could not be prevented, then proceed to treatment. I can reassure that this is a spontaneous state. Redness on the skin disappears in 3-7 days. Bubbles last longer, but disappear in 7-10 days. After these symptoms “self-destruct”, the peeling stage begins.
Typically, clinical manifestations occur 3-5 hours after exposure to UV. The maximum peak occurs after a day. External changes on the skin can be accompanied by general manifestations: the head can hurt, the body temperature can rise, nausea can overcome.
Surprisingly, today there are no methods that would accelerate the healing of the skin. Therefore, the treatment of sunburn in children is focused on reducing pain symptoms. It is necessary to reduce inflammation of the skin, and relieve pain. The first problem can be solved using Nurofen (2-3 times a day), cool compresses, emollients, calamine and gels with Aloe Vera. When the blisters burst on their own, rinse them with water and carefully cover them with gauze. The duration of treatment usually does not exceed 2 days.
When using Nurofen in the treatment of sunburn in children, make sure that there are no contraindications. The drug in tablet form is allowed for children from 6 years. Dosage according to instructions. There is also a suspension of nurofen. It can be used for children from 3 months.
A few years ago, I came across recommendations on the treatment of sunburn with local corticosteroids. Today, this data is no longer relevant. If the child has severe skin lesions, then the treatment takes place in a hospital. The doctor may prescribe infusion therapy and systemic analgesia.

text: Welcome to the Laura Mvula Discography Rate. I've been expecting you. A little on Laura for the uninitiated. (Thanks, Wikipedia.) Laura Mvula is a British recording artist, songwriter, and composer. A native of Birmingham, Mvula has gained experience as a young member or leader of a cappella, jazz/neo-soul, and gospel groups and choirs. She was classically trained. In 2012, she signed with RCA Records and released an extended play, She, to critical acclaim. Mvula released her debut studio album, Sing to the Moon (2013), to favorable reviews, and earning two MOBO awards and a Mercury Prize nomination. In 2014, an orchestral re-recording of the album with the Metropole Orkest was released. Her second album, The Dreaming Room (2016), was also received with critical acclaim, and won the Ivor Novello award and garnered a Mercury Prize nomination. Mvula then wrote the music for the 2017 theatre production of Antony & Cleopatra by the Royal Shakespeare Company. While working on her third album, she released the 1/f EP in February 2021. Her third studio album, Pink Noise (2021) was released in July. In 2018, Mvula received an honorary doctorate of music from her alma mater, Birmingham City University. Put simply, Laura is one of my favorite artists of all time, and while not the most prolific artist, in the decade she's been releasing music, she has put out some of my favorite albums. A hugely accomplished songwriter and multi instrumentalist, Laura fuses all of her classical and jazz training into some of the most stunning pop sensibilities. We are here to celebrate everything that makes this artist special.

With the 98th edition of the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale less than a week away, it can be easy to get caught up in all the hype about which yearlings are going to make the big bucks. Last year there were many, and its good to see the $1.5m Zululand already deliver for owners Coolmore and The China Horse Club in the G2 VRC Sires. But at the other end of the spectrum there is always great value at Easter that I feel can sometimes be overlooked.
The most obvious examples this week are Mossfun (pictured winning Silver Slipper) and Cornrow, both genuine contenders in the Golden Slipper on Saturday and were purchased for just $85,000 and $170,000 respectively at Easter in 2013. But this is NOT some rare occurence, it happens every year so this years catalogues presents a wonderful opportunity for buyers who spend the time doing their homework, or others who proactively contact trainers, agents or syndicators who have a good eye for a yearling. Other good examples from recent years are as follows:
Fat Al, purchased by Gai Waterhouse for $27,000 who went on to win the G1 Epsom
Amber Sky, purchased by Ricky Yu for $80,000, winning a G1 in Dubai last Saturday
Better Life, purchased by Mr Takaoka for $150,000, multiple G1 winner in Singapore
Samaready, purchased by Belmont Bloodstock for $150,000, Blue Diamond and G1 Moir winner
Sterling City, purchased for Ling Family of HK for $200,000, winning G1 in Dubai last Saturday
Alante, purchased by Lyndhurst Farm NZ for $170,000, winning G1 NZ 2000 Guineas
Absolutely, purchased by Dermot Farrington for $150,000, winning AJC Oaks
And there are plenty of others purchased for under $200,000 such as Anacheeva, Sharnee Rose, Soft Sand, Better Than Ready, Nobby Snip, Strike the Stars, Ninth Legion, Raceway, Sabrage, Armed For Action etc etc. Hopefully you see my point. And for just a little over this $200,000 figure you could have purchased reigning Cox Plate and Australian Guineas Champion Shamus Award for just $230,000. So please don't think Easter if simply for the rich and famous. It is for anyone who has a love of horse racing, and wants to start with a quality product. All the leading trainers, agents and syndicators will be here for the sale, so why not approach one of them and let them know you are interested in taking a 10% or 20% share in a yearling from Easter.
Whatever your budget, there will something here for you.

Railways To Fine Rs 500 For Not Wearing Masks In Rail Premises, Trains
New Delhi: In the wake of rising COVID cases across the country, the Indian Railways on Saturday decided to impose a fine of up to Rs 500 for not wearing masks in trains as well as on railway premises.
In its circular, the national transporter said, “Indian Railways is taking various measures to contain the spread of resurgence of Covid-19 pandemic, in accordance with the guidelines issued by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and Ministry of Home Affairs from time to time. One of the specific guidelines is to wear masks in order to contain the spread of the pandemic.”

Fine upto Rs 500 shall be imposed on persons for not wearing a face mask/cover in Rly. premises(including trains) pic.twitter.com/VfnWzC2qFC
— Ministry of Railways (@RailMinIndia) April 17, 2021
In view of the Covid-19 situation, controlling spitting and act of similar nature due to any person not wearing mask and entering Railways premises (including trains), is important to avoid the creation of unclean/unhygienic conditions which may cause danger to life/public health, it further said.
According, to prevent spitting and act of similar nature and thus to ensure wearing of face masks/face cover by all passengers at railway premises and in trains, fines (up to Rs 500) under Indian Railways (Penalties for activities affecting cleanliness at Railways Premises) Rules, 2012 shall be imposed, said Railways.
Railways is presently running a total of 1402 specials train services on an average per day. A total of 5381 Suburban train services and 830 Passenger train services are also operational. Apart from this, the Railways stated that there are 28 special trains being operated as clones of highly patronized trains with high patronage.
Additional trains are also being run during April-May 2021 to clear rush in Central Railway with 58 trains (29 pairs) and Western Railway with 60 trains (30 pairs).

The growing prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other disorders related to the metabolic syndrome constitute a worldwide public health challenge. The AFC research program aims to generate knowledge about food features for development of preventive novel food concept.
Insulin resistance, oxidative stress and low grade systemic inflammation are major components in the metabolic syndrome. Recently impaired cognitive function and neurodegeneration of the brain have been associated with systemic inflammation.
AFC focuses on food mechanisms that may attenuate sub-clinical inflammation. This includes food concepts that;
facilitate weight regulation,
lower the glycaemic impact,
lower the oxidative-inflammatory cascade,
reduce the inflammatory component of the gut microbiota,
lower formation of pro-inflammatory components during food processing.
The research program also explores technologies for targeted delivery of bioactive food components, minimal processing to reduce process-induced formation of pro-inflammatory components as well as enzymatic or microbial production of indigestible carbohydrates with prebiotic or other metabolic effects.
The research programme focuses on the exploitation of a variety of food factors and properties that may prevent obesity and IRS-related disorders by reducing inflammatory tonus and improving appetite regulation. Quality characteristics of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins are exploited. Emphasis is put on the possibilities to modulate the gut ecosystem by food composition and/or food design for benefits on IRS risk markers. A variety of food ingredients and raw materials are included, such as cereals, fruits and berries, tubers, legumes, milk. Further, more recently acknowledged manifestations of IRS, such as impaired cognitive performance, are taken into account in food optimisation. In addition, features of meals and multi-functional food combinations are studied.

The Assam Assembly has been called today on July 12 for the start of the Budget Session. This will be the first Budget in Assam that will be tabled by a female finance minister, Ajanta Neog.
This session also marks Sivsagar MLA Akhil Gogoi’s first days in the Assembly. The activist turned MLA who has recently been released after spending 19 months in jail had to be schooled on the Rules of Procedure of the house.
The question hour was going on and questions were being directed towards Chenga MLA Ashraful Hussain. During this, Akhil Gogoi stood up to ask a question that was referred to as Sivsagar initially.
On this, the Speaker Dr. Biswajit Daimary had to correct him. The house erupted in laughter and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Minister Pijush Hazarika were seen laughing too. However, Gogoi later did ask his question concerning the electrification issue of Chenga constituency inhabitants.
In addition, it must be mentioned that the entire opposition on Monday staged a walkout of the Budget Session of the Assam assembly on the first day after the Speaker refused to allow discussion on the issue of price rise of fuel and other essential commodities. The Congress, AIUDF, and CPI(M) brought three adjournment motions to discuss the issue of rising prices of petrol, diesel, cooking gas, and other essential items, but Speaker Biswajit Daimary did not accept any of those.

In fact, there are many reasons leading to the problem of eccentric load and broken teeth of mechanical gears. The main reason is that the load can not be evenly distributed with the contact line, resulting in the misoperation of the main engine and auxiliary machine protection. Specifically, there are many factors that cause the problem of mechanical gear teeth broken under eccentric load, such as temperature change, pressure change, flow change or valve position deviation. In the process of mining machinery and equipment operation, if the rigidity of machinery and equipment shell and shaft is poor, then the problem of eccentric load and broken teeth often occurs.
In addition, in the whole mechanical operation system, usually set up a thermometer, the staff can observe the working condition of the machine according to the temperature displayed by the thermometer. Once the temperature of the thermometer is abnormal, it is very likely that the mechanical gear has the problem of partial load and broken teeth. If the gear is biased between the two shafts, the mechanical gear will suffer too much pressure. Once there is deformation or operation problem, the load capacity of the whole mechanical gear will not meet the working standard, and the load cannot be exactly the same as the distribution of the contact line of the gear. Once there is eccentric load problem, the two shafts of the gear will deform in the opposite direction, Then, the whole gear will gradually deform and break.
In mining work, mining machinery and equipment often appear the problem of partial load and broken teeth, which seriously affects the whole process of work. The impact of eccentric load broken teeth on mechanical equipment is very large, the bearing capacity of the surface of two mechanical gears will change, the right position of the gear is seriously deformed, the tooth root at the end of the gear needs to bear greater bending force, and the pressure after eccentric load is as much as 3 to 7 times as that without eccentric load.
In short, if the mechanical equipment in the process of operation appears the problem of partial load broken teeth, it will seriously affect the normal work of mechanical equipment, and even damage the whole equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to actively study the causes of eccentric load broken teeth, try to alleviate the problem of eccentric load broken teeth, reduce the impact of this problem on normal work, and improve the safety of mechanical operation.

Although they may feel as though they are alone, addiction is not something that an addict must fight on their own. That’s why Royal Life Centers is here to help. As you prepare to overcome your abuse and addiction, learn about how our program can help you achieve and maintain long-term sobriety.
Cutting-Edge Addiction Treatment
No one becomes a drug addict or alcoholic by choice! Addictions take on a life of their own. When caught in their downward spiral, it’s often a matter of life and death. We at Royal Life Centers realize that the struggle one goes through is very much emotional as is physical. Our multi-disciplinary anti-addiction program addresses not only the physical substance abuse, but also the secondary health, emotional and mental concerns that are likely at the heart of your chemical dependency.
Recovery takes time, but with your commitment, success is inevitable. As you go through the program with us, you also develop a sense of community that further enhances your recovery.
It's clinically recommended and proven by research that addicts and alcoholics who attend follow-on care and therapy for addiction treatment have much better success rates at staying clean and sober. Discover more about our addiction treatment programs:
While fancy facilities and comfort are very helpful to making a stay at a facility such as ours successful, the supportive staff we provide is key to overcoming addiction. The staff members all have several things in common; they are all caring and passionate about their work, they’re all highly professional, and they are all former addicts themselves. It's this last element of our staff that makes their ability to empathize with the individuals here so strong.
Being able to lend a supportive hand from the perspective of someone who has overcome their addiction allows our staff to provide round the clock understanding and care, unlike any other team.
One of the potential side effects of both addiction and recovery (when not done properly) is malnutrition. This is why we have a state-of-the-art kitchen on site that will service the residents with nutritious meals. Getting your health back after addiction is a process that involves far more than just quitting bad habits. It also involves picking up good habits with diet and exercise. We focus on helping recovering addicts achieve both of those goals during their stay.
Many facilities operate more like hospitals than places for people seeking addiction treatment. However, at Royal Life Centers we take a completely different approach. Individuals are never required to wear hospital gowns while receiving treatment, and they’re given access to an onsite laundry room which will allow them to maintain comfort in their own clothing and appearances as they go through this process. The rooms they’re provided with are immersed in luxury and comfort, and include space for individuals to place personal items such as decorations, photographs, and more. The atmosphere is one which promotes as much relaxation a possible, and which focuses on providing as much comfort as we possibly can to individuals.
Royal Life Centers can help change your life's course towards a bright, sober future. Reach out to change your life today!

By Stian Reklev and Mike Szabo, Carbon Pulse.
Two Oregon state senators on Thursday introduced draft legislation that would establish a state-wide cap-and-trade scheme from 2020, but sources said the bill stands little chance of surviving.
The Healthy Climate Act, introduced by Democrats Chris Edwards and Lee Beyer, would establish a carbon market to help Oregon meet a target of cutting GHG emissions to 75% below 1990 levels by 2050. It would also set intermediary targets of 20% below 1990 levels by 2025, and 45% below by 2035.
But a legislative source told Carbon Pulse that, in light of a recent agreement between the state’s largest utilities and environmental campaigners to all but phase out the use of coal-fired power by 2030, he would be surprised if the Edwards-Beyer bill made it out of committee.

If you've never heard of the Ladies in White, they have a remarkable story.
They're a group of women in Cuba, who have spent years opposing the Castro government and fighting for human rights and freedom.
In 2005, they won an award called the 'Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought' - which is handed out each year by the European Union's Parliament.
Only trouble is, the Cuban government wouldn't allow the group to go to Belgium to receive their prize.
Well now, 8 years later, the Ladies in White have finally got it.
In January, Cuba made changes to its official travel policy making it possible for the women to obtain passports and leave the country.
Today, they officially accepted their prize at a ceremony in Brussels.
The women were recognized for their campaign to free 75 political activists who were thrown in jail in 2003, as part of a crackdown on Cuba's opposition.
As she accepted the award for the group, Lady in White Laura Labrada said they never lost hope that this day would come.
"We are mothers, wives, daughters and sisters of Cubans who find themselves in prison in Cuba for exercising the most sacred human right: to live according to one's own conscience," she said.
Labrada accepted the prize on behalf of her late mother Laura Pollan, who co-founded the Ladies in White.
"You are the symbol of resistance against the Cuban government, and thousands of Cubans support you inside and outside the country," said the president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz.
Every Sunday, dressed in white, the women march quietly through Havana - despite a government ban on organized opposition and public protests.
Many times, they are arrested but their efforts have paid off as all 75 prisoners have been released.
15 of them still live in Cuba while the rest have moved to Spain at the invitation of the Spanish government.
In spite of that, the Ladies in White are still protesting - calling for their convictions to be officially overturned.
Until that happens, they say the 75 activists could be arrested again if the government sees fit.
The women also want to make the world aware of other dissidents in Cuba who are allegedly still in jail for their political views.
Cuba says the group is sponsored by the United States and is part of an effort to bring down its socialist government.
The award is named after the late Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, who fought for civil liberties and civil reforms in the Soviet Union.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975.

I think one reason I’m so fond of Trio Mediaeval is that their attitude toward the performance of early music mirrors my own: in their introduction to this disc, they note that performing music from a thousand years ago (give or take a century or two) necessarily involves as much recreation as interpretation, since any contemporary rendering is filtered through contemporary sensibilities.
The Worcester Ladymass performed here is derived from manuscripts — or pieces of them — known as the “Worcester Fragments.” This name is perhaps more easily understood when one remembers that most of the English music we have from this period comes from scraps, manuscripts that were cut up to be used as binding material for other manuscripts. The performers (who are as much scholars as singers, by necessity) note that Worcester is a rich source of polyphony from the early thirteenth century to the early fourteenth — enough for three large anthologies. This presentation is termed a “Ladymass” because such masses were common; in this case, much of the music was specifically associated with the Feast of the Assumption, celebrated on August 15. This is particularly relevant to Worcester, since the cathedral was dedicated to Our Lady. The stages of the mass, with the exception of the “Credo” and the “Benedicamus Domino,” were drawn entirely from the Worcester Fragments, although not all were necessarily part of a particular mass. The latter two settings were created by English composer Gavin Bryars for this recording.
Listening to this recording, it’s something of a jolt to be reminded that this music was originally sung by monks, not nuns: the voices are so perfectly suited to the music that it’s hard to imagine any other sound. The three singers — Anna Maria Friman, Linn Andrea Fuglseth, and Torunn Østrem Ossum — bring not only intelligence and sensitivity to their performance, but an ethereal quality that brings home the spirituality of the music.
It is perhaps emblematic of the intelligence and conceptual unity in this recording that Bryars’ contributions fit seamlessly into the mass. If one listens very carefully to the “Credo” one gets hints that this is not from the thirteenth century, but one must listen very carefully. The “Bendicamus Domini,” on the other hand, is indistinguishable from the thirteenth-century “Alma Dei Genetrix” that immediately precedes it.
There are very few artists making credible recordings of early European sacred music, and Trio Mediaeval shares top honors with one, maybe two others. And in this recording, especially, they’ve brought a deep sense of the spirit of the mass to a contemporary audience.
