Composites are used in various aerospace applications including engine blades, interiors, brackets, and nacelles. Composite materials play a major role in reducing the weight of aircraft and improving their lift-to-weight ratio. They have excellent strength, good stiffness-to-density ratios, and superior physical properties, which make them ideal materials for the aerospace industry. According to a research carried out by P&S Intelligence.
The global aerospace composite market has been growing at a steady pace since the past few years and it is expected to maintain this momentum for the next few years. The market growth is mainly driven by the expanding commercial aircraft fleet worldwide, increasing demand for carbon fiber composites in aerospace applications, and growing application of composites in military aviation.

Global aviation traffic is growing at a significant pace, driven by lower air fares, growing travel and tourism industry, and rising living standards in emerging countries. According to The International Air Transport Association (IATA), global aviation traffic is expected to reach 7.8 billion passengers by 2036. Majority of the growth in passenger traffic is expected to come from Asia, particularly, countries such as China and India, which are witnessing rapid rise in the movement of international as well as domestic passengers.
Also, mature aviation markets such as Europe and North America will continue to witness rising influx of international passengers for tourism and business purposes. In order to address the rapid growth in passenger traffic, the major airlines across the world are investing in the expansion of their fleet size by ordering new aircraft. The development of new commercial aircraft will encourage the demand for composite materials, which is key raw material used in their manufacturing and thereby driving the aerospace composites market growth.
Globally, APAC has been holding third largest share in the aerospace composites market, with estimated volume and value contributions of 19.8% and 16.6% in 2017. The region has been witnessing an increasing demand for aircraft; for example, as per the data by McKinsey & Company, it is expected that China and India would purchase more than 3,500 planes over the next two decades.

Furthermore, in China, the demand for civil aircraft is also increasing simultaneously, and it is expected that the country will increase the size of its general aviation fleet by 30% annually, in the next five years. Hence, the growing demand for aircraft in the region is expected to drive the demand for aerospace composites, thereby resulting in the APAC market growth.
Governments of APAC countries are encouraging private investments in the defense and civil aerospace sector to stimulate the industry growth. For instance, in India, the military aviation sector is expected to invest approximately $35 billion over the next 20 years, in developing technologically advanced and lightweight aircraft. Also, Japanese manufacturers such as Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd., Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, and Subaru Corporation, supply about 35% of component materials for the Boeing 787.Besides, as Japan continues to be a lucrative market for imported aircraft, its parts, and engines, U.S. based companies are focusing on investing in the country’s aerospace market. Thus, the above-mentioned factors are powering the aerospace composites market growth in APAC.

As Islamic terror threats against churches escalate, so should churches’ plans for safety and security – even in the United States.
Dabiq – the online magazine ISIS uses for propaganda and recruitment – is telling radical Muslims to target Western churches. Counter-terrorism experts think the blow is most likely to land in Great Britain, but Chuck Chadwick of the Texas-based National Organization of Church Security & Safety Management says churches in America shouldn’t ignore the threat.
“What we over here can expect is the lone wolf attack,” he offers, “[and] it looks like bombing is becoming popular again.”
While Chadwick says an attack on a U.S. church is probably not imminent, it’s still important to have the conversation. “Having a person who is armed and can respond in deadly force may be an option [for churches],” he says. “If it does happen, we’re prepared; if it doesn’t happen, all glory to God.”
Many churches are working with local police to have a uniformed officer on site. Some have a trained and armed security team not in uniform at the ready.
In addition to physical security, Chadwick suggests churches need to think about who will be legally liable if the need to shoot arises – and about access points to their church. Can someone sneak in a back door? Can people get out in a hurry? And he says churches of all sizes need to be wary.

Pleural effusion secondary to ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion is a rare and potentially life-threatening occurrence.
We describe a 14-month-old Caucasian boy who had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt inserted for progressive hydrocephalus of unknown etiology. Two and a half months post-shunt insertion, the patient presented with mild respiratory distress. A chest radiograph revealed a large right pleural effusion and a shunt series demonstrated an appropriately placed distal catheter tip. A subsequent abdominal ultrasound revealed marked ascites. Fluid drained via tube thoracostomy was sent for beta-2-transferrin electrophoresis. A positive test was highly suggestive of cerebral spinal fluid hydrothorax. Post-externalization of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt, the ascites and pleural effusion resolved.
Testing for beta-2-transferrin protein in pleural fluid may serve as a useful technique for diagnosing cerebrospinal fluid hydrothorax in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts.

Mechanical shunting of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an effective treatment for non-obstructive hydrocephalus. In particular, ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting has become a preferred method in most clinical centers. Despite the wide acceptance of VP shunting, there are important complications associated with this technique. Common problems include obstruction, mechanical shunt failure and infections  while CSF ascites and thoracic complications, such as CSF hydrothorax, are less frequently observed sequelae . Most cases of the lattermost complication, CSF hydrothorax, occur secondary to intrathoracic shunt tip migration . However, a small number of cases, mostly in the pediatric population and secondary to massive ascites, have been reported with normal shunt position .
We report a 14-month-old Caucasian boy with a symptomatic pleural effusion that developed two and a half months post-VP shunt insertion for hydrocephalus of unknown etiology. We will review potential mechanisms behind the development of this complication and discuss the use of beta-2-transferrin for the identification of CSF hydrothorax in children with VP shunts.
A 14-month-old Caucasian boy with idiopathic non-obstructive hydrocephalus and a VP shunt presented to the emergency room with a 1-day history of mild respiratory distress without cough or fever. The patient had presented at 11 months of age with a history of enlarging head circumference and developmental delay. A computed tomography (CT) scan of his head at 11 months of age revealed enlargement of the lateral, third and fourth ventricles and a bulky choroid plexus. A right-sided programmable valve VP shunt was inserted at that time.
On examination, the 14-month-old patient was found to be afebrile and tachypneic (34 breaths/minute) with mildly increased work of breathing and decreased respiratory sounds in the distal aspect of the right lung. The cardiovascular exam was within normal limits. An examination of the abdomen revealed distension but no hepatomegaly or signs of peritoneal irritation.
A chest radiograph (Figures 1 and 2) revealed a large right-sided pleural effusion, which was confirmed by chest ultrasonography to be a fluid collection measuring 12.3 × 9.2cm. A shunt series demonstrated the VP shunt to be in place without signs of discontinuity or leakage.
At the time of admission, venous blood gas, serum electrolytes and creatinine were within normal limits. Blood urea nitrogen and white blood count were mildly elevated at 5.1mmol/L and 12.5 × 109/L, respectively. Further blood work demonstrated an alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of 46U/L, an aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level of 51U/L, a serum calcium level of 2.61mmol/L and an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level of 1403U/L. Subsequently, ALP steadily decreased to 498U/L but remained elevated throughout the patient's admission.
A thoracentesis was performed and a chest tube was inserted which drained >300cc/day of clear, yellow fluid. Around the time of chest tube insertion, the patient was noted to have an increasing abdominal girth, sizeable positive fluid balance and weight gain. An abdominal/pelvic ultrasound revealed marked ascites. Structurally normal major abdominal and pelvic viscera as well as normal vena caval and hepatic venous flows were reported.
A head CT showed no change from a previous scan carried out at 11 months of age. A parallel pleural fluid and CSF analysis was also performed which is detailed in Table 1. Secondary to the discordance between the white cell counts of the CSF and pleural fluid analyses, a sample of pleural fluid was sent for β 2-transferrin assay and was found to be positive. Subsequent to this finding, the VP shunt was externalized followed by a dramatic decrease in chest tube drainage. A repeat chest radiograph revealed resolution of the pleural fluid collection and the chest tube was removed. The patient's abdominal girth decreased and a repeat abdominal/pelvic ultrasound demonstrated resolution of ascites. The patient's externalized ventricular drain was subsequently converted to a ventriculoarterial shunt.
We report the use of β 2-transferrin for the diagnosis of CSF hydrothorax in a child with a transudative pleural effusion. Although used previously in other applications, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported use of β 2-transferrin to detect a CSF pleural effusion in a child with a VP shunt.
A variety of techniques to investigate ascites and/or pleural effusion in patients with VP shunts have been reported in the literature. Among the described methods is the use of radiopaque contrast. This particular procedure involves the injection of radioactive dye at a point along the shunt pathway followed by subsequent imaging studies to trace the migration of contrast-injected CSF . An alternative diagnostic strategy in cases of CSF ascites or hydrothorax involves repositioning of the distal shunt, usually through relocation of the catheter tip within the peritoneal cavity or into the right atrium, with subsequent resolution of CSF fluid collections .
A novel diagnostic strategy was utilized in the case of our patient. A sample of fluid, drained via tube thoracostomy, was sent for beta-2-transferrin level. This desialated isoform of transferrin is almost exclusively found in the CSF with only minimal amounts present in cochlear perilymph and in the aqueous and vitreous humor of the eye. Multiple studies have validated the use of beta-2-transferrin as a specific marker for CSF leakage with sensitivity and specificity approaching 100% and 95%, respectively . Furthermore, Huggins and Sahn (2003) report the use of beta-2-transferrin to identify the presence of a CSF pleural effusion in an elderly patient with a duro-pleural fistula . To our knowledge, however, beta-2-transferrin has never been previously utilized to identity CSF hydrothorax in children with VP shunts.
Following externalization of the distal VP tip, our patient's ascites and pleural effusion promptly resolved. This finding, in combination with a positive beta-2-transferrin assay, was highly suggestive of a CSF hydrothorax.
The findings of CSF hydrothorax and ascites, as demonstrated in our patient, are rare complications of VP shunts. Reported to occur anywhere from days to years postoperatively, CSF ascites usually develops within the first 2 years after VP shunt placement . In greater than 50% of these cases, clinical and/or laboratory investigations fail to reveal an underlying abdominal or other disease process to account for CSF ascites .
We propose a pathological intraperitoneal process, such as subclinical peritonitis, to account for the development of CSF ascites in our patient. Inflammation of the peritoneal membrane may lead to intraperitoneal accumulation of fluid through the impairment of lymphatic flow  and/or by increasing intra-abdominal pressure and volume .
As evidence to date suggests that modern shunt materials are inert, alternative sources of peritoneal irritation need to be considered. For example, an immune reaction to a foreign protein such as a vaccine may be enough to precipitate ascites in patients with VP shunts . As the timing of our patient's most recent immunization in relation to his presentation is unknown, this possibility cannot be eliminated. Furthermore, although our patient's CSF and pleural fluid cultures were sterile, it is not possible to definitely refute the presence of an infectious process. For example, a subclinical viral infection may have been sufficient to cause peritoneal inflammation in our patient with resultant CSF ascites . Furthermore, a strengthened immune response in infants, coupled with age-related decreased peritoneal absorptive capacity, makes subclinical peritonitis an important consideration in our patient .
Alternative explanations for CSF ascites in the literature such as excess CSF production, surgical procedures, and high CSF protein are less plausible explanations for our patient's CSF ascites. Firstly, it has been suggested that CSF ascites can result from excessive CSF production, with the excess fluid overwhelming the absorptive capacity of the peritoneum . Despite an undiagnosed etiology for hydrocephalus in our patient, the absence of an interval change on CT scan makes augmented CSF overproduction an unlikely precipitant for his ascites. Secondly, a history of shunt revision or previous abdominal surgery has also been reported in patients with CSF ascites . Although our patient underwent a shunt surgery two and a half months before presentation, there was no history of shunt revisions or abdominal surgeries.
Lastly, high CSF protein has been proposed as a potential cause of CSF ascites . According to this supposition, an elevated CSF protein content may lead to reversed osmosis at the level of the blood-brain barrier with the resultant accumulation of excessive CSF fluid within the peritoneal cavity . However, numerous cases of high CSF protein without resultant ascites have been reported . Furthermore, as demonstrated in a previous case report, CSF ascites can occur despite normal levels of protein in the CSF .
The finding of CSF ascites in our patient can be used to explain the coincident finding of pleural effusion. Taub and Lavyne (2004) suggest three mechanisms to account for the development of CSF hydrothorax post-VP shunt placement . Firstly, they propose that an error in surgical shunt placement, with resultant intrathoracic trauma, may account for some cases of CSF hydrothorax. Secondly, Taub and Lavyne suggest that pleural effusion may develop secondary to supra- or trans-diaphragmatic migration of the shunt tip into the thorax.
Considering that no surgical complications during VP shunt placement were reported in our patient and that his shunt series at the time of admission was normal, an alternative explanation is required. Thus, it is the third mechanism proposed by Taub and Lavyne, the development of hydrothorax secondary to CSF ascites that offers the most promising explanation for our patient's pleural effusion .
In order for CSF ascites to result in pleural effusion, some degree of open communication must exist between the peritoneal cavity and the pleural space. Congenital diaphragmatic defects or weak points in the diaphragm such as the Foramen of Morgagni or Foramen of Bochdalek provide potential conduits. Furthermore, one or more microscopic diaphragmatic communications is likely to be sufficient for the transdiaphragmatic movement of peritoneal fluid . These posited congenital or acquired fenestrations enable peritoneal fluid to pass into the pleural space along a unidirectional pressure gradient . This posited pressure differential results from a cyclic negative intrathoracic pressure, created during inspiration, coupled with increased hydrostatic intra-abdominal pressure . In addition to causing a build-up of ascitic fluid, sub-clinical inflammation likely contributes to this process by facilitating the transudation of fluid through diaphragmatic capillary and lymphatic channels . Fluid subsequently accumulates in the pleural space secondary to high volume transdiaphragmatic flow and the overwhelming of pleural absorptive abilities . As the pleural surface remains pathology free with its sieve characteristics consequently intact, the cell and protein content of the ensuing pleural effusion should remain low . These pleural fluid characteristics, along with a predominance of lymphocytes and mesothelial cells, suggest a transudative pleural effusion.
Although no gross diaphragmatic defect was identified in our patient, the presence of microscopic diaphragmatic communications may have been present. Notably, the tapped pleural fluid characteristics of our patient were found to be in keeping with a transudative effusion. The collected pleural fluid also demonstrated a marginally higher protein concentration than in the patient's CSF fluid. Differences in the solute composition of ventricular-extracted CSF and pleural fluid have been previously demonstrated in patients with pleural effusion secondary to VP shunts . The finding of a slightly higher protein concentration in the pleural verses peritoneal fluid, the latter having been derived from CSF, can be explained by the preferential absorption of water over protein across the visceral pleura . With this in mind, inconsistent solute characteristics, such as protein concentration, between pleural effusion and pure CSF should not be used to refute the possibility of CSF hydrothorax in patients with VP shunts.
In summary, we present the case of a 14-month-old boy with CSF hydrothorax secondary to VP shunt. Pleural effusion following VP shunt insertion is a rare and potentially life-threatening event and hence requires prompt diagnosis and correction. We report a novel and non-invasive technique by which to identify the presence of CSF in pleural fluid. Beta-2-transferrin assay may serve as a useful new means for the identification of CSF hydrothorax in the context of patients with VP shunts.

A terminally-ill woman was told by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) that she risked being charged with an “offence” and would lose part of her benefits if she used an insurance policy windfall to pay for her own funeral.
DWP bosses told Sue Smith that spending the £3, 700 in advance on her funeral would be seen as “deprivation of capital” – deliberately spending her savings in order to maintain entitlement to benefits.
Smith, from south Devon, had contacted DWP after being told about the £3,700 refund, because she wanted to be sure that she did not fall foul of any regulations if she spent the money on paying in advance for her funeral.
But when she approached DWP, and made it clear that she was terminally-ill, she was told that she could lose part of her employment and support allowance (ESA) payment – she has estimated that it could have cost her about £15 a week – and could even be seen as committing an “offence”.
Smith, who uses oxygen 24-hours-a-day, said she felt “threatened, hurt and distressed” by the warning, and was now at her “wit’s end”.
Smith said: “I expected them to agree that it was a good use of my own money.
“I could understand it if someone was given £100,000 from a lottery win or inheritance, blew it on a Ferrari, and then went back to DWP and said, ‘Sorry, I’m skint now, I want my benefits.’
“But this is not the case with me. Surely they need to rewrite the rules so there is clear provision to allow someone to pay to bury themselves once they are terminally-ill.”
Smith was told in May 2014 that she had between 12 and 18 months left to live, as a result of emphysema and other health conditions, and had an end-of-life care plan put in place by her local hospice, which involved making her will and funeral arrangements, and tidying her financial affairs.
She spent nine years with the Royal Navy, and then ran her own successful business for 15 years.
She became ill in 2001 after becoming injured in a chemical incident, but carried on working for another seven years.
Smith said: “If you can’t spend your own capital on your own burial, there is something seriously wrong with the regulations.
“I intend to fight on as best I can, but any little thing that causes anxiety and stress affects my breathing and tires me out more.”
After Disability News Service approached the department about her case, a DWP manager phoned Smith and told her that she could cash the cheque and spend it on her funeral.
Smith said she now wanted this position to be written into ESA regulations so that if someone is terminally-ill, they have “the automatic right to spend a lump sum within reason on their funeral”.
A DWP spokeswoman said: “Income-related ESA takes into account all of a claimant’s available capital, including any policies or assets that can be cashed in.
“This is to ensure that there is provision for those with limited funds of their own.
“A decision-maker looks at each case on its own merits to decide whether any capital asset should be taken into account. These decisions carry a right of appeal.”
She added later that Smith had been advised “in general terms” that if she went ahead with her plans “without seeking advice from DWP it may have an impact on her ESA claim”, and that paying for her funeral “could be considered deprivation of capital”.
She said that Smith was “given general advice and then provided with specific guidance on her individual circumstances”.
But when asked to clarify whether Smith was or was not originally told definitively that she could not use the money to pay for her funeral, and that to do so might be considered an offence, she declined to comment further.

Roger Federer suffered one of his worst defeats at Wimbledon, going down in straight sets to Poland's Hubert Hurkacz, in the quarter-finals on Wednesday, July 7, 2021.
Aiming for a record-equalling ninth Wimbledon title, Federer -- a month and a day short of his 40th birthday -- suffered a heart-breaking 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-0 loss following a stupendous display by the 6' 5" tall Pole.
Never before had Federer been wiped out in a set at Wimbledon.
Harish Kotian/Rediff.com looks at Federer's worst five Grand Slam losses:
2008 French Open: Federer hammered by Nadal
Rafael Nadal produced a flawless exhibition to demolish then world number one Roger Federer 6-1, 6-3, 6-0 in the 2008 final and win his fourth straight French Open crown.
Nadal tore Federer, apart in an hour and 48 minutes, denying the Swiss ace a career Grand Slam and in the process equalled Bjorn Borg's feat of four consecutive titles at Roland Garros.
It was the first time that Federer had lost a set to love since the first round of the Queen's Club tournament in London in 1999, against Zimbabwean Byron Black.
It was the shortest French Open men's final in terms of games played since 1977 and the quickest final, at 108 minutes, since 1980.
2013 Wimbledon: Stakhovsky shocks Federer
Defending champion Federer's remarkable run of reaching 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-finals ended in a shock second-round Wimbledon defeat by unheralded Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky.
Federer's 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 7-6 loss stunned spectators at the All-England Club as it ended his remarkable record at the Slams.
Stakhovsky, ranked a lowly 116th, launched outrageous winners to bring Federer to his knees and condemn the Swiss to his earliest Wimbledon exit since a first-round loss in 2002.
'When you play Roger Federer at Wimbledon, it's like you're playing two players. First you play Roger Federer and then you play his ego,' Stakhovsky said after his most famous win.
2014 US Open: When Cilic handed Federer a tennis lesson
Marin Cilic hammered Roger Federer 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 to reach his first Grand Slam final at the 2014 US Open.
Croatian 14th seed Cilic looked in the mood to correct his record against Federer, having lost all their five previous meetings. He went on the attack from the outset with his booming service game and heavy groundstrokes which Federer struggled to cope with.
Cilic, who smashed 43 winners including 13 aces, rocked Federer early as he broke in the fourth game of the match before serving out the first set 6-3.
He then broke Federer in the first game of the second set to continue his domination as he clinched the second set.
Federer, who bounced back from a two-sets deficit to beat France's Gael Monfils in the quarter-finals, showed signs of coming back as he broke to lead 2-0 in the third set. But there was no stopping Cilic, who dashed all his hopes by breaking his serve right back and then broke the Swiss again in the seventh game.
He served out the set 6-4 to seal the contest in just one hour and 45 minutes.
2011 US Open: Djokovic's great comeback
Novak Djokovic staged one of the greatest comebacks in tennis as he saved two match-points to roar back from the brink of defeat and beat Roger Federer in a five-set thriller at the 2011 US Open.
Djokovic looked to be heading towards certain defeat when he lost the first two sets but rallied his way back to outclass Federer 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.
It was only then the second time in 184 matches that Federer was beaten after leading by two sets. The only other time was at Wimbledon earlier that year when Jo-Wilfried Tsonga registered a shock 3-6, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win in the quarter-finals.
The US Open loss ended the Swiss's streak of winning at least one Grand Slam every year since winning the first of his 16 majors in 2003.
2018 Wimbledon: Anderson wins a cliff-hanger
Kevin Anderson produced an astonishing fightback from two sets down to beat eight-time champion Roger Federer 2-6, 6-7(5), 7-5, 6-4, 13-11 in a quarter-final cliff-hanger at Wimbledon.
Federer skipped through the opening two sets on Court One with his usual panache, but the big South African turned the match on its head and also register his first win against the Swiss great at the fifth attempt.
The turning point came when eighth-seed Anderson saved a match point in the 10th game of the third set. That point onwards, he grew in confidence against an increasingly-ragged Federer, who started to lose momentum.
Anderson stormed through the third set 6-3 to snap Federer's 34-set winning streak at Wimbledon. Federer was clearly shaken as the South African dominated the fourth set to drag the 20-times Grand Slam champion into a decider.
Six times Anderson was required to hold serve to stay alive and each time he was equal to the task.
Federer eventually cracked under pressure at 11-11, double-faulting to hand Anderson a break point which he converted before sealing the match in the next game.

Warren County Commissioners Ben Kafferlin, Tricia Durbin and Jeff Eggleston signed off on a ‘Citation for Excellence in Service’ for the county’s healthcare workers during Wednesday’s virtual meeting.
“Essentially it’s a thank you on behalf of the commissioners to all of the doctors, nurses and ancillary staff that continue to risk their lives to care for our citizens,” Kafferlin said.
Added Durbin: “I think it’s a great idea, and I wish there was even more that we could do.”
That might be happening, as Eggleston said he has had preliminary discussions with the Rouse and Warren General Hospital, among others, about putting together a program so that people can donate supplies to the county’s health care workers.
Those efforts are still in the early planning stages, but Eggleston is confident they will have something in the works soon.
“The response generally has been very good,” he said.

Waterplace pedestrian bridge along the river walks in Providence.
The Rhode Island Senate has passed legislation, Senate Bill No. 2255, to rename State Bridge No. 1181 — known as the Providence River Bridge — as the William D. Warner Memorial Bridge.
Perhaps, in the waning days of this session of the General Assembly, the House will pass its own version of the bill. Legislators often talk about “due diligence” required for major legislation. Naming the Providence River Bridge for the late Bill Warner, who died in August 2012, is the due diligence required by history.
Who was Bill Warner? He designed Waterplace Park and the river walks from Waterplace to Confluence Park, where the Woonasquatucket River joins the Moshassuck River to form the Providence River, and beyond to Memorial Park. He designed the dozen arched vehicular and pedestrian bridges along the way, and the parks and the river walks that extend the waterfront toward Narragansett Bay.
And Bill Warner designed the Route 195 Providence River Bridge itself. That does not entitle him to have it named for him. Most bridges are not named for their designer.

A new study in Translational Psychiatry sought to elucidate whether reduced telomere length (TL) is associated with childhood trauma in those with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD). Telomeres are the genetic material at the end of chromosomes that shorten in most human tissues with the wear and tear of aging. When they are excessively minimized, they don’t work as well and adversely impact a tissue’s ability to repair itself. Evidence shows a link between chronic stress and childhood trauma and accelerated TL shortening in otherwise healthy people (HC). This is why there is a ton of focus on studying it as a potential biomarker in the hope it can identify and ideally quantify “cumulative stress and biological aging.”
So, does this new research make a compelling case for its use in the real, not theoretical, world? Let’s just say the results, though intellectually interesting, wouldn’t necessarily change anything in clinical practice today.
What do we already know?
Chronic sustained high stress and extreme childhood trauma are known to do substantial harm. Persistently elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol, for example, can weaken bones and muscles, increase risks of infection by impacting immunity, impair glucose metabolism, raise blood pressure, and alter mood and cognition. Untreated severe adverse childhood events can predispose a child to depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders or other physical and mental health issues in adulthood.
The science supports the profound impact of toxic stress and childhood trauma in the later development of adult disease. It is widely known and accepted that the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE) “found a strong graded relationship between the breadth of exposure to abuse or household dysfunction during childhood and multiple risk factors for several of the leading causes of death in adults.” (See here).
From Best Practices to Breakthrough Impacts: A science-based approach to building a more promising future for young children and families by the Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child is a compelling read. In it, the authors underscore how development is a highly interactive process where life outcomes are not exclusively set by genes. They extensively clarify the biological adverse effects which significant stress imposes on young children and families.
What did this new work reveal?
The authors conclude
“Our study confirms significantly shorter TL in a large sample of patients with SZ and BD compared with HC; however, the effect size is small. Shorter TL was specifically observed in patients reporting childhood abuse. No significant difference in TL was demonstrated between patients and HC after adjusting for childhood abuse. This suggests childhood abuse as an important factor for reduced TL in SZ and BD compared with HC...Patients reporting childhood abuse had the shortest TL, suggesting a link between early stressors and accelerated aging...We found no significant associations between TL and brain structures in our study”
It is unclear still what biological mechanisms contribute to this, though it is likely these early stressors cause intensified damage from oxidative stress due to escalations in cortisol levels or depletion of growth hormone (GH). But, there were many flaws in this study’s design, including but not limited to the following: TL was not determined from the brain but the circulating blood and drawing correlations has been shown to be inconclusive, confounders not adequately addressed, or methods for detailing childhood trauma were subject to recall bias.
The bottom line is childhood trauma, especially when untreated, poses a reverberating negative influence on physical and mental well-being well into an individual’s future. At this point, using TL as a biomarker in a clinical capacity in the realm of SZ or BD is premature and wouldn’t yield great or practical dividends.

While maintaining that his priority in dealing with the Donald Trump administration will be the Canadian economy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday night he would never shy away from proclaiming himself a feminist, defending immigration or extolling the contribution of Muslim Canadians.
During a town hall forum in Belleville, Ont., Trudeau was asked about how a Trump presidency would impact Canada's relations with the United States. Trudeau joked that everyone in the audience leaned forward when the question was asked.
As he has in the past, Trudeau focused first on the economic ties between the two countries. He said the Liberal government emphasized those links in their initial discussions with the new administration.

“A thoughtfully observed travel memoir and history as richly detailed as it is deeply felt” (Kirkus Reviews) of South America, from Butch Cassidy to Che Guevara to cocaine king Pablo Escobar to Charles Darwin, all set in the Andes Mountains.
The Andes Mountains are the world’s longest mountain chain, linking most of the countries in South America. Kim MacQuarrie takes us on a historical journey through this unique region, bringing fresh insight and contemporary connections to such fabled characters as Charles Darwin, Che Guevara, Pablo Escobar, Butch Cassidy, Thor Heyerdahl, and others. He describes living on the floating islands of Lake Titcaca. He introduces us to a Patagonian woman who is the last living speaker of her language. We meet the woman who cared for the wounded Che Guevara just before he died, the police officer who captured cocaine king Pablo Escobar, the dancer who hid Shining Path guerrilla Abimael Guzman, and a man whose grandfather witnessed the death of Butch Cassidy.
Collectively these stories tell us something about the spirit of South America. What makes South America different from other continents—and what makes the cultures of the Andes different from other cultures found there? How did the capitalism introduced by the Spaniards change South America? Why did Shining Path leader Guzman nearly succeed in his revolutionary quest while Che Guevara in Bolivia was a complete failure in his?
“MacQuarrie writes smartly and engagingly and with…enthusiasm about the variety of South America’s life and landscape” (The New York Times Book Review) in Life and Death in the Andes. Based on the author’s own deeply observed travels, “this is a well-written, immersive work that history aficionados, particularly those with an affinity for Latin America, will relish” (Library Journal).
About the Author
Kim MacQuarrie is a four-time Emmy Award–winning filmmaker and award-winning author who has lived and worked all over the world. Educated in the US and France, he lived for five years in Peru and spent some of that time living with a recently contacted tribe in the Amazon jungle, only 100 miles from Machu Picchu. He is the author of Life and Death in the Andes and The Last Days of the Incas, as well as three illustrated books about Peru. He currently divides his time between the US, Peru, and Thailand. Visit him at KimMacQuarrie.com.
“In this vivid, engaging hybrid of travel and history, Kim MacQuarrie proves to be the ideal companion on a trip the length of South America—a land where past and present are inseparable.”
— Mark Adams, author of TURN RIGHT AT MACHU PICCHU: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time
“[MacQuarrie] writes smartly and engagingly and with a sense of populist enthusiasm about the variety of South America’s life and landscape.”
— Tom Zoellner
"Fascinating. . . . A poignant summary of the collision between the ancient and the modern that has done much to shape the Andean region."
— Matthew Price
"MacQuarrie's book is as richly detailed as it is deeply felt. . . . A thoughtfully observed travel memoir and history."
— Kirkus Reviews
“The human history that has shaped South America is dramatically re-created in this rich account of iconic Andes characters, from Pablo Escobar and Hiram Bingham to Che Guevara and Butch Cassidy.”
— Don George
“Few writers know the mountainous spine of South America better than Kim MacQuarrie, and fewer still can match the richness, verve, and competence he brings to his work. Whether focused on Darwin's extraordinary journey through icy Patagonia or the demise of Che Guevara in Bolivia, MacQuarrie displays an unfailing talent for great storytelling and an exceptional depth of knowledge. Life and Death in the Andes is a beautifully crafted book that brings to vivid life one of the most spectacular and mysterious landscapes on the planet.”
— Scott Wallace, author of The Unconquered: In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribes
"MacQuarrie is a master storyteller whose cinematic eye always shines through."
— Edward Morris
"MacQuarrie spectacularly describes the Andes. This is a well-written, immersive work that history aficionados, particularly those with an affinity for Latin America, will relish.”
— Library Journal
“It was an inspired idea to weave a journey through the Andes with tales of some of its most flamboyant characters – gangsters like the drug baron Pablo Escobar and the bank robber Butch Cassidy, murderous idealists like Che Guevara and the founder of the Shining Path insurgency, or Charles Darwin and the Patagonian indigenous peoples. Kim MacQuarrie tracks down their descendants or acolytes, and enthralls the reader with their stories and his own travels.”
— John Hemming, author of THE CONQUEST OF THE INCAS
"Eccentric, often lively. . . . Part history, part chatty travelogue. . . . MacQuarrie is an enthusiastic guide and is often amusing and occasionally enlightening."
— Brigitte Frase
“Life and Death in the Andes brings its people and the gorgeous, oftentimes awe-inspiring, country alive.”
— Book Reporter

Gen. John E. Hyten, who led Air Force Space Command before becoming commander of U.S. Strategic Command, has been nominated to be the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The nomination, if approved, would elevate someone who is deeply familiar with military space issues—including those impacting GPS—to be the second ranking member of the U.S. Armed Forces. He would be in a key position to advise the White House at a critical time as the Department of Defense weighs how to reorganize its management of military space to meet the challenges posed by near-peer adversaries.
Allegations of sexual misconduct have clouded the nomination though a military investigation found insufficient evidence to support charges.
Hyten has served in space-related posts since 1994 and was often seen on Capitol Hill. During testimony before the House Subcommittee on Strategic Forces in 2016 he spoke about the potential of a broadband network proposed by Ligado Networks to interfere with GPS receivers.
“You may recall that your predecessor Gen. (William) Shelton testified pretty much from where you’re sitting right now,” said then-subcommittee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Alabama). “[He] warned that a proposal under consideration by the FCC would have created extensive, harmful interference to GPS.”
Hyten said he had yet to see information showing that changes Ligado had made to its proposal were enough to make it workable.
“I’ve heard that Ligado has put forth a new proposal to use that spectrum, but I’ll tell you Congressmen I have seen no data that supports the use of the frequency spectrum other than the data I saw in 2011,” Hyten said. “So, the position of Air Force Space Command is the same as it was when Gen. Shelton sat in that seat. I don’t think that we should infringe on the GPS spectrum. That’s a critical capability not just for the military security of the nation but for the entire economic well-being of this nation. We can’t allow that to happen.”
Hyten told lawmakers the Air Force was supporting the GPS Adjacent Band Compatibility Assessment being conducted by the Department of Transportation that, at that time, was set to start testing.
“We’re trying to be good partners as we work at that,” Hyten told the subcommittee, “but the partnership has to be based on real testing, real impacts and what the impacts to national security are. We cannot do something that will infringe on our national security. Period.”

San Diego’s City Council isn’t attending Mardi Gras, but it sure does like the reason for the party.
The council voted 7-1 on Monday night to send Gov. Jerry Brown a letter opposing his plans to eliminate redevelopment agencies statewide.
“Redevelopment in San Diego does translate to jobs,” said City Councilwoman Marti Emerald. “It translates to safer neighborhoods. It translates to affordable housing and I would like to see that progress continue.”
Councilman Kevin Faulconer represents the city’s most robust redevelopment area, downtown. He brought forward the resolution, but did not request that the city follow in the footsteps of other municipalities around that state.
They have rushed to squirrel away redevelopment funds in the wake of the governor’s proposal. We’ve been referring to the moves as redevelopment “Mardi Gras”, a redevelopment spending party before the ability to spend goes away.
Faulconer didn’t rule out joining the party, saying he’s still exploring the option. The city has numerous plans for downtown redevelopment dollars including expanding its Convention Center, building a new football stadium and developing a waterfront promenade.
Redevelopment siphons property tax dollars that would otherwise go to schools, counties and cities’ day-to-day operating budgets to improve rundown neighborhoods. The theory is that redevelopment benefits everyone by creating higher property tax values than otherwise could have happened without public assistance. San Diego has 17 redevelopment project areas and the Union-Tribune has reported those areas collect more than $180 million in property taxes in 2009, accounting for about 40 percent of all city property taxes.
The council heard numerous testimonies from downtown residents explaining how redevelopment has been a benefit to their neighborhoods and council members took pains to emphasize that redevelopment also assists in affordable housing and neighborhood beautification programs aside from big buildings.
But Faulconer and other council members also repeated the misleading argument that Brown’s proposal constitutes a taking of local tax revenues by Sacramento. Instead, Brown’s proposal would allow the state to stop subsidizing schools for property taxes lost through redevelopment, saving an estimated $1.7 billion next year.
Councilman David Alvarez said there were tradeoffs.
“It’s really easy to engage in the rhetoric of sending this money, it’s going into a ‘black hole,’ Sacramento’s keeping it,” Alvarez said. “In reality, if we did away with redevelopment agencies, the tax increment that’s been created because of all the positive development would come back to help us fund our general fund and helps us fund our schools.”
Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who represents La Jolla and other northern coastal communities, voted against the resolution. She pointed out that if the governor didn’t cut redevelopment, he might have to make deeper cuts to higher education, firefighting and social services. Lightner’s district also has no redevelopment areas.
Here are a few other redevelopment items of note.
• Over the weekend, the U-T did a good job explaining how cities around the county are reacting to the governor’s proposal and also quoted the Chargers stadium point man saying a downtown stadium is dead if Brown succeeds.
• State Controller John Chiang is auditing 18 redevelopment agencies around the state to evaluate their effectiveness. Coronado is the only San Diego agency on the list.
• California Watch’s Chase Davis pointed out the series of ironies in Brown’s proposal. For one, Brown lives in a redevelopment-subsidized loft in Sacramento.
• A columnist for the Contra Costa Times delivers one of the most coherent anti-redevelopment articles I’ve seen.
• Finally, our own Scott Lewis frames the debate as redevelopment vs. schools.

The legend of the Divine Gate is a story told to young children that depicts the merging of the living world, the heavens, and the underworld. “Adapters”—people born with unique elemental abilities gifted to them from the union of these worlds—formed the World Council, an organization which controls the chaos of the Gate by portraying its legend as nothing more than a myth. These Adapters train in a special academy owned by the World Council that allows the students to hone their skills. Aoto, a teenage boy with exceptional water powers and a tragic past, rejects the offer to join the academy numerous times—until he is successfully pressured by the energetic wind user Midori and stubborn fire user Akane. Together, with the World Council and their mysterious leader Arthur, they seek out the Gate in the hopes of uncovering the truth. But in order to reach their goals, they must unite and overcome their own despair while dealing with behind the scene mischief. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Two students at Albany Options School have been honored for their community service work through a program sponsored by Prudential Financial and the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Debra Leonor received the local honor for the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards as Albany Options School Volunteer of the Year. Caitlynd Bishop received a Certificate of Merit for her volunteer community service.
The awards recognize outstanding community service by young Americans.
“We really encourage service to the community here at Albany Options School and these two girls have embodied that through service to the school and the community,” said Anna Sokolov, AOS business to school liaison.
Leonor was considered for the Oregon Youth Volunteer of the Year awards and earned the President’s Volunteer Award after performing more than 200 hours of community service through gleaners and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Sokolov said.
Bishop is a cadet teacher who has put in about 75 hours of cadet teaching in the alternative school’s middle school program. She also has been very involved in several school service learning projects and always takes on a leadership role, Sokolov said.
Principal Mike Ingman praised both Leonor and Bishop for their commitment to community service.
“Learning goes beyond the bricks and mortar of the school building,” he said in a statement, “and both embody what every principal wants in a student. They are kind, generous, hard working, and dedicated community members.”

“Tʜᴇ Vᴀʟᴜᴀʙʟᴇ Pʀᴇsᴇɴᴛ”
Suffering might occur when you compare yourself with others but never consider the different factors or merit that each person has cultivated. Mountains are not gently beautiful like flowers while flowers are not eminent and do not look strong like mountains. But both of them have value in their own way.
All beings in this world have different characteristic due to the difference in the accumulation of mental formation. Thus, we should not compare ourselves with others since it might bring suffering to ourselves. We just have to understand and accept these differences. Then the sadness will be less. We should keep doing good deeds and develop our virtue by truly observing the five percepts. These are important fundamental of our life that will not increase suffering to ourselves and will bring us to sustainable happiness…
Although the shell cannot be changed, the mind can be.
Do not be lured or give value to the shell, that is physical body and status, until you forget to give value to your true feeling deep inside.
Take some time off to look outside. And also take care of your mind. Then, purify your gloomy mind with Dhamma. This will be the valuable new year present for your mind which has been wandering for so long in this cycle of rebirth.
So you will find true happiness.

Tyroe Muhafidin, a key player in the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power, elaborates on the animosity between the Elves who dwell in the high mountains and the humans living in Middle Earth during the Second age. J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels served as inspiration for Amazon’s much-awaited adaption, which was translated for tv by J.R.R. Payne, D., and McKay, P. The stories of The Rings of Power occur in the peaceful Second Age, many generations prior to the happenings of The Hobbit as well as The Lord of the Rings.
Fans would be taken back to a period when the Dark Lord Sauron nearly conquered Middle-earth. In the Second Age, after the military conflict concerning Morgoth who also happens to be the first Dark Lord, the mainland is still recovering.
The Elves Galadriel, as well as Elrond, are among the returning personalities in Rings of Power, but the television series has also introduced many new ones to lend a hand into the world’s rich history. One such new persona is Arondir, a Silvan Elf with an unrequited romance for Bronwyn, who is a human healer from Tirharad. Tyroe Muhafidin portrays Bronwyn’s son Theo, who is depicted in advertising content carrying a shattered black sword.
Some new information regarding The Rings of Power as well as Muhafidin’s backstory was released via a discussion at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The actor provided further background on the Second Age war involving Elves and Humans and also how Theo’s bloodline shapes his identity in that time and place.
He’s not happy, you can say that a little. Obviously, the history between the humans and the elves you know, 1000s of years prior, Theo’s ancestors sided with Morgoth and fought against the elves, and so in punishment for their doing that they got banished and had to restart in almost the slums of the Southlands.
And it’s patrolled by the Elves. And you know, and it was generations ago, and Theo thinks and Bronwyn thinks, and I think the whole village thinks that it’s time to move past it and move forward, but the Elves just won’t forget. So there’s a lot of tension in there. And especially when your mom is dating one of them.
Tirharad is a settlement in the Southlands inhabited by ancestors of mortals who joined with Morgoth and battled against Elves throughout the Battle of Wrath, giving greater background to Muhafidin’s remarks about the animosity surrounding humans, and elves during that period.
Elves are keeping a careful eye on these mortals, who are effectively in exile in the hamlet because of the tensions it has caused between the two species. Despite the best efforts of Tirharadians like Bronwyn and Theo, who want to put it all behind them, the intransigence of the Elves hinders them from doing so.
Those who are acquainted with Middle-earth lore will recall that in the end, the two species learned to put aside their disagreements in order to fight a larger threat, and this was known as the Last Alliance. A twelve-year conflict with many distant phases, the Battle of the Last Alliance is the result of the covenant established in reaction to Sauron’s prospect of invasion. The stories and conflicts will be covered thoroughly in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
