SFM-B5 Surface Finish Probe Module
SFM-B5 Surface finish probe module
Enhanced access and inspection capability for integrated surface finish measurement
The SFP2 consists of a probe and a range of SFM modules that have been designed to suit the demands of specific parts and features encountered in a precision manufacturing environment. The probe and modules can be automatically interchanged with all other REVO® probe options, providing the flexibility to easily select the optimum tool to inspect a wide range of features. Each SFM module is its own mini-measuring device, incorporating Renishaw’s proprietary scale and read head system, to transduce the motion of the stylus tip.
The B-series of modules feature a small skid which allows the stylus to be placed close to the edge of surfaces of interest. The modules can provide access into awkward to reach features.

A Randomized Trial of Pessary in Singleton Pregnancies With a Short Cervix
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the Arabin pessary is a useful intervention of preterm birth at less than 37 weeks in women with a singleton gestation and a short cervix.
- Short Cervix
- Preterm Delivery
- Eligible Ages
- All ages
- Eligible Genders
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- Singleton gestation. Twin gestation reduced to singleton either spontaneously or therapeutically, is not eligible unless the reduction occurred before 13 weeks 6 days project gestational age. Higher order multifetal gestations reduced to singletons are not eligible. - Gestational age at randomization between 16 weeks 0 days and 23 weeks 6 days based on clinical information and evaluation of the earliest ultrasound. - Cervical length on transvaginal examination of less than or equal to 20 mm by a study certified sonographer. There is no lower cervical length threshold.
- Cervical dilation (internal os) 3 cm or greater on digital examination or evidence of prolapsed membranes beyond the external cervical os either at the time of the qualifying cervical ultrasound examination or at a cervical exam immediately before randomization. - Fetal anomaly or imminent fetal demise. This includes lethal anomalies, or anomalies that may lead to early delivery or increased risk of neonatal death e.g., gastroschisis, spina bifida, serious karyotypic abnormalities. An ultrasound examination from 14 weeks 0 days to 23 weeks 6 days by project Estimated Date of Confinement (EDC) must be performed prior to randomization to evaluate the fetus for anomalies. - Previous spontaneous preterm birth between 16 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days. This includes induction for pPROM in a prior pregnancy. - Planned treatment with intramuscular 17-α hydroxy-progesterone caproate. - Placenta previa, because of risk of bleeding and high potential for indicated preterm birth. A low lying placenta is acceptable. - Active vaginal bleeding greater than spotting at the time of randomization, because of potential exacerbation due to pessary placement. - Symptomatic, untreated vaginal or cervical infection because of potential exacerbation due to pessary placement. Patients may be treated and if subsequently asymptomatic, randomized. However, if it is more than 10 days since the cervical length measurement, a new cervical length measurement must be obtained. - Active, unhealed herpetic lesion on labia minora, vagina, or cervix due to the potential for significant patient discomfort or increasing genital tract viral spread. Once lesion(s) heal and the patient is asymptomatic, she may be randomized. History of herpes is not an exclusion. - Rupture of membranes due to likelihood of pregnancy loss and preterm delivery as well as the risk of ascending infection which could be increased with pessary placement. - More than six contractions per hour reported or documented prior to randomization. It is not necessary to place the patient on a tocodynamometer. - Known major Mullerian anomaly of the uterus (specifically bicornuate, unicornuate, or uterine septum not resected) due to increased risk of preterm delivery which is unlikely to be affected by progesterone. - Any fetal/maternal condition which would require invasive in-utero assessment or treatment, for example significant red cell antigen sensitization or neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. - Major maternal medical illness associated with increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcome or indicated preterm birth (treated hypertension requiring more than one agent, treatment for diabetes prior to pregnancy, chronic renal insufficiency defined by creatinine >1.4 mg/dL, carcinoma of the breast, conditions treated with chronic oral glucocorticoid therapy). Lupus, uncontrolled thyroid disease, and New York Heart Association(NYHA) stage II or greater cardiac disease are also excluded. Patients with seizure disorders, HIV, and other medical conditions not specifically associated with an increased risk of indicated preterm birth are not excluded. Prior cervical cone/LOOP/Loop Electrocautery Excision Procedure (LEEP) is not an exclusion criterion. - Planned cerclage or cerclage already in place since it would preclude placement of a pessary. - Planned indicated delivery prior to 37 weeks. - Allergy to silicone. - Participation in another interventional study that influences gestational age at delivery or neonatal morbidity or mortality. - Participation in this trial in a previous pregnancy. Patients who were screened in a previous pregnancy, but not randomized, may be included. - Prenatal care or delivery planned elsewhere unless the study visits can be made as scheduled and complete outcome information can be obtained.
- Study Type
- Intervention Model
- Parallel Assignment
- Intervention Model Description
- The study is an unblinded randomized controlled trial. Participants will receive usual care (vaginal progesterone if they meet criteria per local standard of care) or an Arabin cervical pessary (plus progesterone if the local usual care is to receive vaginal progesterone for a short cervix).
- Primary Purpose
- None (Open Label)
|Arabin pessary. Participants where local standard of care includes vaginal progesterone will also receive progesterone.||
|Participants that do not receive a pessary will receive the usual standard of care, including vaginal progesterone if that is the local standard.||
- The George Washington University Biostatistics Center
Study ContactRebecca Clifton, PhD
While cervical length is one of the most powerful predictors of subsequent preterm birth, the best treatment to reduce subsequent preterm birth remains unknown. This study is a randomized trial of women who have a singleton pregnancy and a short cervical length on transvaginal ultrasound as determined by a study-certified sonographer. It is being conducted at 12 clinical centers across the country and the recruitment target is enrollment of 850 pregnant women. Participants will be randomized to 1) Arabin pessary or 2) usual care as per by local hospital protocol. Pessary is a promising low-cost, non-surgical intervention that appears to be well-tolerated. The pessary will be placed by obstetric providers trained in appropriate placement of the Arabin pessary. The primary outcome of the study is delivery or fetal death prior to 37 weeks 0 days gestational age. In the literature, there are two large trials that have produced conflicting results (M Goya et al, 2012, K Nicolaides et al, 2016). Thus, the results of an adequately powered and appropriately conducted trial from the United States will be important in determining whether pessary is a useful intervention for the prevention of subsequent preterm birth in women with singleton gestation.

I couldn't decide on the new bedding for a new king-size bed. I may have gotten a little bit persuaded into this one. But, WOW, am I ever glad I was! My room looks absolutely fabulous.

What’s better Cub Cadet or John Deere?
The Deere edged out the Cub Cadet in our braking, steering, turning, and stability tests, offering a slightly more refined ride. But again, the difference is slight. And if you’re trading up from a push mower, just about any tractor in our mower ratings will feel like a serious improvement.
Is 200 hours a lot on a riding mower?
It all depends on the model and what it was meant for. 200-300 hours isn’t a whole lot, even on a big box quality lawn tractor. All of the used 430’s I have seen are going for $3000+. Nice tractors for sure, but way out of my price range.
What is the average lifespan of a riding lawn mower?
Average Life Expectancy
The average lawnmower lasts eight to 10 years with proper maintenance and care. A lawnmower that is not maintained may last one-half that time. Some manufacturers measure the service life of their lawnmowers and components in hours of use.

Consumer Reports says that the best months for consumers to make a lawn mower purchase are April, May, August, September and October. One popular school of thought is that it’s best to buy a mower right after mowing season ends.
Does a 1/2 acre need a riding mower?
For lawns over 1/2 acre, we recommend upgrading to a riding mower. If cutting time is important and you have a lot to cut, you need a fast riding mower with a 40-60 inch+ cutting deck.
What time of year do riding lawn mowers go on sale?
If you miss out on early-season riding lawn mower sales, look again in August and September. There could be fewer models to choose from, but you might find steeper discounts as stores rush to get rid of old inventory to make way for snow blowers.

- Report #: NT ELEC 021
- Approved: November 1992
This method provides a basis for determination of the vibration and shock characteristics of standard DIN/IEC 19-inch circuit card frames (subracks).
The method is not concerned with assembled, functional products. Card frames are qualified as sub-components of products.
With reference to the method, the vibration and shock resistance of different card frames can be stated in a uniform way.
For applications with given vibration and shock requirements, it will then be possible to select an optimal card frame to hold the required circuit boards.
The method contains 4 vibration and shock test procedures of increasing severity, arranged such that one procedure covers all previous procedures. A card frame which has passed one of these test procedures is classified by the procedure number (1, 2, 3 or 4) followed by the total weight [kg] of inserted dummy-load cards. Example: A card frame which has passed severity 2 fitted with 3.7 kg of cards is designated: NT ELEC 021 – 2 – 3.7. (021 is the number of this method).

Kind-hearted staff from a Harborough bank completed a fitness challenge as part of a Valentines Day-themed charity event.
Workers from HSBC in High Street took it in turns to complete 70 miles on a cross-trainer in their branch to raise £121 for the Matt Hampson Foundation on Friday.
The foundation was created after former Leicester Tigers player Matt suffered a life-changing neck injury while training for the England under-21s in 2005.
It aims to inspire and support young people injured through sport, as well as changing perceptions of disability.
Throughout HSBC’s opening hours on Friday, staff hopped on and off the cross-trainer to make up the 70 miles – the equivalent of travelling from the branch in Harborough to Matt’s house in Leicester, from Matt’s house to the Tigers’ Welford Road stadium in the city and back to the branch at Harborough.
Olli Yates from the bank said: “The money raised was for an excellent cause and we encouraged anybody passing by to call in and donate some money and cheer the staff on. We chose Valentine’s Day as we thought exercising was a way of looking after your heart which supports Matt’s Get Busy Living motto.”
Paul Williams is pictured on the cross-trainer with his HSBC colleagues.


Alternative Fuel Vehicle Summit to Debut at Earth Day Texas
Join the biggest one-day event focused on the importance of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles
For immediate release
DALLAS (April 10, 2017) – Earth Day Texas is investing in a greener journey by helping the country’s transportation system become more sustainable. In partnership with National Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Day Odyssey, coordinated by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium (NAFTC), Earth Day Texas in conjunction with the Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Coalition, will host the Odyssey national kick-off and present the first AFV Summit on April 20, as part of its annual event.
National AFV Day Odyssey is the largest, nationwide event conducted to educate the public about the importance of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles, and to promote their widespread adoption. From electric cars to natural gas-powered vehicles, attendees can learn more about clean-powered, alternative fuel vehicles. The kick-off will serve as the official launch for the many Odyssey events being held across the United States and around the world.
“The NAFTC is thrilled to partner with Earth Day Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities to conduct this year’s National Alternative Fuel Vehicle Day Odyssey kickoff event and the first AFV Summit at Earth Day Texas,” said Judy Moore, national AFV Day Odyssey coordinator and NAFTC assistant director of communications & outreach. “Thanks to this partnership, Odyssey’s message about the importance of cleaner, domestically fueled transportation options will reach thousands in the Dallas area and beyond.”
At this year’s first AFV Summit, attendees will have the unique opportunity to see and touch more than 50 alternative fuel vehicles, attend numerous sessions and workshops, and speak directly with dozens of alternative fuel vehicle experts. Additionally, three panels of experts will discuss clean transportation choices using fuels produced in the United States, which will drive growth in the economy and help make the Earth a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous place to live.

CRESCO, Iowa (June 14, 2012) — The newly redesigned custom Featherlite “T1” NASCAR support and media trailer is gearing up for its second race of the NASCAR season this weekend in Brooklyn, Michigan. Larger and more efficient work space for media personnel was a crucial element of the new design of the trailer, which is utilized during the season by FOX, TNT, ESPN and ABC.
The 53-foot Featherlite transporter features approximately 495 square feet of usable interior space when its double slideouts are expanded. The trailer is designed with three separate work areas, two of which are used by the networks which broadcast the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races. FOX and TNT share one space while ABC and ESPN work from the other. “This trailer gives the networks’ track reporters a place to call home among all the activity that’s going on in the garage area during any given race weekend,” Specialty Sales Manager Mike Galvin said. Galvin has worked with Featherlite’s NASCAR clients for nearly 20 years.
The two media areas are designed with five workstations each. Replacing the previous version of this trailer put into service over four years ago, the new trailer allows for a separate entrance to each network’s office space with an outside platform for the front one. This replaces the single and more congested entrance of the previous trailer. The new design also created additional cabinets and storage space and overall added additional square feet to each work space. An updated interior décor of grays and blacks as well as new exterior graphics enhances the trailer.
The third portion of the trailer is utilized by Featherlite as a support and sales hub. Featherlite supplies nearly 90% of the NASCAR teams with race car haulers. Featherlite has support staff on site at each race to address any service issues, and these Featherlite personnel are headquartered from T1 in the garage area. In addition, sales personnel have a private meeting area they can utilize. The rear exterior of the trailer features TV monitors that display timing and scoring information, as well as weather updates, for others in the garage area to view.
Featherlite driver Jake Patterson, who transports the trailer to each race, said the added space and new interior décor were the two things that stood out to him and the TNT crew at the trailer’s first race in Pocono. ESPN will use their space for the first time this weekend in Michigan.
Featherlite is also the manufacturer of trailers used by NASCAR to serve as office and meeting space for race officials and other personnel. Typically, around ten Featherlite transporters are used at each Sprint Cup race each weekend by NASCAR alone, according to Galvin.
For more information on Featherlite race transporters, office trailers and other specialty trailers, visit www.featherlitespecialty.com or call 800-800-1230.

- GBP/USD demonstrates the weakest performance out of all the major currency pairs.
- GBP pressured by prospects of monetary easing measures from the BOE.
- Brexit and coronavirus still weighing heavily on the GBP/USD performance.
The GBP/USD kicked off Friday morning’s trading session on a weak bullish performance, and this subdued performance is mainly due to speculation that the Bank of England will roll out economic easing measures. Numerous BOE members brought up the conversation using unconventional monetary easing policies during a meeting held a week ago. This has prevented the GBP/USD exchange rate from achieving its rally potential this week.
The GBP/USD exchange rate demonstrated some upside potential on Friday morning, but it looks like the pair was held back due to the monetary easing speculation. The pair is expected to test the 1.2341, 1.2386, and 1.2419 if it trades long above the 1.2321 price level during the trading session.
The U.S is scheduled to release its weekly unemployment data and GDP figures on Friday afternoon, which may have some impact on the performance of the currency pair. However, it will depend on whether the data will favorable or not for the U.S dollar.
It is perhaps best to look at the GBP/USD’s performance influences over the past few weeks to determine whether a strong rally will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Various factors have hard hit the Pound over the past 11 weeks. They include expectations of negative interest rates, Brexit talks, escalating debt, and economic recession.
The economic situation is expected to start recovering once the world has a handle on the coronavirus spread. As far as the Brexit talks appear to lack direction, but on the positive side of things, the BOE has been carefully monitoring the economic situations so that it can ensure the right decisions that will favor the British economy. Favorable economic data may help boost the Pound’s position.

The exterior of Legendary Whitetails is seen Monday
morning in Slinger.
John Ehlke/Daily News Staff
SLINGER — Legendary Whitetails, known worldwide as a
prestigious outfitter of hunters and others who enjoy
the outdoors, is now under receivership.
Company President Greg Huffman said the company filed
for Chapter 128 Receivership in Washington County
Circuit Court on March 4.
“The assets of the company as part of the Chapter 128
process have been turned over to a receiver, Michael
Polsky of Milwaukee,” Huffman said. “He is the guy who
is calling the shots on this now.”
According to an article on the State Bar Association of
Wisconsin’s website written by attorney Jeffrey Murrell,
“the trustee’s role is to be a neutral third-party
caretaker for the collection and distribution of
payments to the listed creditors.”
Huffman said the company is still accepting consumer
orders at this time.
Legendary Whitetails is a family-owned, American
clothing company that designs and sells everyday
apparel, gifts, and gear for deer hunters and their
families. Legendary Whitetails was established in 1999
as a direct-to-consumer catalog and internet retailer.
The company was founded in 1999 by Greg Huffman’s
father, Larry Huffman.
In November 2015 the company closed on the purchase of
its current office building at 850 Enterprise Drive for
$600,000 from Cedar Lake United Educators, which had
used the building for its offices, but the union merged
with the Wisconsin Education Council. The company’s
manufacturing-distribution facility is next door at 820
According to the State Bar website article, in Chapter
128, much as in federal Chapter 13 “wage earners”
bankruptcy, a person or company may amortize problem
debts through a deliberate and scheduled repayment plan.
“The statute empowers a circuit court to appoint a
trustee to administer the debtor’s estate and to issue a
protective order that forces most types of creditors to
accept remittance via monthly payments over a period as
long as three years,” said the article. “This
arrangement becomes binding even if the creditor and
debtor have a contract that dictates different terms.”
According to information on the website, the Wisconsin
alternative “provides much faster and easier, and, often
more preferable debt relief than does federal bankruptcy
laws.” The website said “the operation of this (state)
law stops interest from accruing on credit cards and
similar debts even though this process is not expressly
provided by the statute’s language.”
There have been unsuccessful court challenges to the
state’s Chapter 128 law based on tit is “pre-empted by
federal bankruptcy jurisdiction.”
Polsky did not respond to phone messages in time to be
included in this story.

HAVERHILL — Police broke up an underage drinking party and arrested 10 people, all from out of town.
Detective Capt. Alan Ratte said police were sent to 7 Grand Ave. in the central section of the city about 1:10 a.m. Saturday for a report of a large, loud house party.
“On arrival, they could see alcoholic beverages on a table inside the house and what appeared to be underage people drinking,” Ratte said.
The arrests were a repeat of the previous weekend when officers broke up an underage party on Peabody Street and arrested 10 people.
Arrested early Saturday morning and charged with being minors in possession of alcoholic beverages were: Vanessa Pereira, 17, of Saugus, Shannon Sullivan, 17, 125 Main Ave., South Hampton, N.H., Jocelyn Gadman, 18, of 37 Unicorn Circle, Ashley Padova, 17, of 51 Haverhill Road, Grant Johnson, 19, of 1 Macey Terrace, and a 16-year-old girl, all of Amesbury.
Also, Katie Robichaud, 18, of 43 Highland Road, and Stephanie Ward, 20, of 5 Sunset Terrace, both of Merrimac, and Christopher Jordan, 20, and Renee Spinale, 18, both of Byfield.
The 22-year-old host of the party will be sent a summons to appear in Haverhill District Court on a charge of furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor, Ratte said.
He declined to identify the man.
“We find that we see an increase in these parties just prior to these people going back to school,” Ratte said. “We don’t want them indulging in this particular activity and we are trying very hard to convey that message. Every time we go to one of these we arrest. There is no tolerance for this on the part of the Haverhill Police Department.”

text: In my intro to philosophy classes this week we discussed Deirdre McCloskey’s “Crossing” and the problem of personal identity. When asked, most students said they identified with their minds more than their bodies if those were the only choices, while some identified with both when given that choice. No one mentioned culture or ethnicity, though race was suggested for a list of identifying physical features. I then asked them if since we now accept someone’s word that they do not identify with their biological sex, rather with their psychological gender, shouldn’t we take someone like Rachel Dolezal at their word when they say they identify as treansracial? I was surprised that several students said yes, including students of color. In an anonymous online survey more of them revealed skepticism however. This essay discusses this issue, which is a perfectly good question for philosophical analysis.

To determine the impact of E2 on GHRP-2 actions, 10 postmenopausal women underwent 24h infusions of saline or GHRP-2 (1 μg/kg/h) after 7-12 days of placebo or oral micronized E2 (1 mg BID). GH profiles (every 10 min) were analyzed by deconvolution, cosinor fitting of 24h rhythms, and approximate entropy to quantitate the orderliness of GH release. GHRP-2 stimulated basal GH secretion 5-fold and GH secretory burst mass 8-fold without a change in the GH pulse frequency and increased the mean and 24h integrated serum GH concentrations (5.2 and 7.7 fold) as well as the 24h pulsatile and total daily GH secretion rate (8.4 and 7.9 fold). Also the disorderliness of GH secretion and the cosine amplitude (5 fold) were increased while the acrophase was advanced. E2 with GHRP-2 amplified the 24h rhythm 11-fold above basal (2-fold above GHRP-2 alone) and restored its acrophase to normal, as well as increased the disorderliness (higher approximate entrophy) of the 24h GH release process without enhancing further the GHRP-2 stimulated mean, 24h integrated serum GH or IGF-I concentrations. Additionally, the basal GH secretion, mass of GH secreted/burst GH pulse duration, frequency or half-life were unaltered by E2. GHRP-2 did not stimulate PRL or cortisol release with or without E2 replacement but did significantly raise serum IGF-I with and without E2. In conclusion: 1) E2 and GHRP-2 can interact to modulate the 24h rhythmicity of GH secretion; 2) the multifaceted dynamic responses to GHRP-2 and estradiol combined resemble the normal pubertal activation of the somatotropic axis; 3) these GH effects may reflect in part the GH releasing activity of the yet to be isolated putative GHRP-like natural ligand.

These Mid-Century Modern candleholders are designed and signed by masterful Viennese designer Carl Auböck (1900-57). Handcrafted in brass, the piece exemplifies the attention to detail and playfulness of Auböck's work. Auböck received four gold medals at the Triennal di Milano in 1954 amongst many other accolades. The candleholder was obtained directly from the estate of fellow creative, Burt Miripolsky, who was a dear friend of Auböck. It's very rare to find a set of four.

Sleeper of the Week takes a film that only
few critics have seen and shines some light on it.
Richard Linklater isn’t the only indie auteur with a decades-spanning trilogy. ’90s indie icon Hal Hartley had one of his biggest critical hits in 1997 with “Henry Fool,” about the friendship between introverted garbage man Simon Grim (James Urbaniak) and raconteur/aspiring novelist Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan). In 2006, Hartley returned to that film’s world with “Fay Grim,” which followed Simon’s sister and Henry’s wife Fay (Parker Posey, reprising her role) as she’s caught up in an international conspiracy. Now, Hartley is back with the crowdfunded sequel “Ned Rifle,” which stars Liam Aiken as Fay and Henry’s son Ned as he vows to kill his father for ruining his mother’s life.
“Ned Rifle” isn’t likely to appeal to non-Possible Films fans (i.e. people who don’t know what that means): Hartley’s deadpan, deliberately-mannered style is an acquired taste, and this film is both slighter than its predecessors and more clearly designed as a fans-only proposition (even its title is taken from a frequent Hartley pseudonym). But there are pleasures to be had in returning to the world of Henry Fool and company, whether it’s spending more time with Ryan’s eternally loquacious hedonist or seeing how well Aubrey Plaza, playing a mysterious woman from Henry’s past, fits into Hartley’s world. Above all else, it’s nice to see a director following his muse and refusing to chase indie trends, negligible commercial appeal be damned.
More thoughts from the Criticwire Network:
Mike D’Angelo, The A.V. Club
Consequently, anyone coming to “Ned Rifle” cold will be bewildered. But there are numerous pleasures for the initiated, from Ryan’s continuing dissolute mellifluence as Henry Fool to Simon’s rebirth as a terrible stand-up comic constantly monitoring the comments on his blog. Read more.
Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times
“Ned Rifle” is unabashedly a fans’ movie. Its jokes assume fluency with “Henry Fool,” “Fay Grim” and even early details from Mr. Hartley’s films. (The name Ned Rifle has appeared throughout his career, often as a credit for the lilting scores he composes.) But even if this minor coda plays to an increasingly closed circle of admirers, it gives the trilogy a pleasing, moving symmetry. Read more.
Eric Kohn, Indiewire
Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
With a simple framing style, light score and remarkably short running time, “Ned Rifle” zips along from beginning to end, which may lead some fans of “meatier” films like “Henry Fool” disappointed, but there’s an infectious energy that makes this one of Hartley’s most likable works. It’s also just damn funny and smart. Lines like “The good of free will must entail real choices for sin” and “You’d think a religion would help teach people how the ungodly operate” zip by in the clever, dialogue-heavy script at such a fast pace that it almost demands a rewatch to catch all of them. Read more.
Scott Tobias, The Dissolve
Say this for “Ned Rifle”: Aubrey Plaza was born to be a Hal Hartley player, showing more of an ease with his cutting deadpan rhythms than even a veteran like Posey. She’s also a natural femme fatale—confident and house-afire sexy, with mysteries tucked away behind dark eyeliner and misapplied ruby-red lipstick. As good as it is to have veterans like Ryan, Donovan, and Urbaniak back in the Hartleyverse, Plaza is a reminder of the virtues of moving forward. Read more.

The Stevenage Borough Local Plan (2011-2031) was submitted to the Secretary of State on 21 July 2016 for independent examination.
Inspector Louise Crosby MA, MRTPI from the Planning Inspectorate was appointed by the Secretary of State to carry out the examination of our Local Plan.
Inspector Crosby's task was to consider the soundness of our submitted plan, based on the criteria set out in paragraph 182 of the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework).
Our plan should be:
- Positively prepared
- it should be based on a strategy that looks at meeting objectively assessed development and infrastructure requirements. This includes, where reasonable to do so, those unmet by our neighbours. It should also be consistent with achieving sustainable development.
- it should be the most appropriate strategy, when considered against reasonable alternatives, based on proportionate evidence.
- it should be deliverable and based on effective joint working with partners and neighbours.
- Consistent with national policy
- it should enable the delivery of sustainable development set out by national policy.
The Inspector also considered whether the plan had been prepared in accordance with the Duty to Co-operate and met the legal and procedural requirements.

It’s a new day and as is customary, we’ve got yet another Joao Cancelo link, as the move has been given the green light by an important figure at Juventus. Alongside this, we’ve uncovered possibly the least likely transfer rumour since whenever we were last linked with Lionel Messi. Read on for the day’s transfer news roundup…
Juventus’ João Cancelo will be allowed to join Manchester City this summer at the request of incoming manager Maurizio Sarri, according to Calcio Mercato. The newly appointed manager of the Bianconeri doesn’t see the Portuguese right-back fitting into his style of play, and would seek to reinvest funds received from the sale to improve the rest of the squad.
Fabio Paratici, director of football at the Italian champions, recently travelled to Manchester to negotiate over the 25-year-old’s proposed move. This is Manchester City so, needless to say, no agreement was found, but Calcio Mercato claim that it’s still a “work in progress”.
Let’s hope it progresses more quickly over the coming days!
Now for a rumour that’s far-fetched to say the least. Marca report that City executives are contemplating bidding for Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho, and have evaluated the pros and cons of such a move.
PSG and Chelsea have also been linked with a move for the Brazilian, who cost the Blaugrana £142million when he moved from Liverpool in January 2018. A bid for the 27-year-old is being “studied in detail”, although no benefits to the deal for City have yet been mentioned.
Do you think there’s any chance at all of this move going through?
NMECHA ON THE MOVE?
Young striker Lukas Nmecha may be on his way out of City, with German club Borussia Mönchengladbach reported to be interested in signing him permanently by Bild. The 20-year-old, who has chosen to represent the country of his birth (Germany) at under-21 level over the country that he grew up in (England), spent last season on loan at Championship side Preston North End and was involved in nine goals in 24 starts.
Borussia Monchengladbach are looking to pay a low fee to prize him away from the Etihad, but are also willing to loan him if City don’t agree to a permanent move.
GABBY STAYING PUT
Seemingly the forgotten man at City following the João Félix transfer saga is striker Gabriel Jesus, but the Brazilian has put to bed any doubts over his future. As reported by the Daily Mail, the 22-year-old said:
“It’s out of the question that Agüero leaves [City] and me too.
[Agüero] is a legend at the club. He’s the top scorer [of all time]. Obviously as a player I always want to play, but I’m happy to help and I respect Sergio.”
We all do Gabriel, we all do.

"Our findings showing an increase in peripheral concentrations of S100B and TNF-α provide limited support to the hypothesis about the roles of altered immune function and S100B in autism spectrum disorder (ASD)."
So said the findings reported by Selin Aktan Guloksuz and colleagues  (open-access available here) continuing some discussions a few years back on a possible role for S100B in relation to at least some autism (see here).
S100B - S100 calcium-binding protein B - is a compound involved in quite a few biological reactions not least "as a biomarker of global glial activity." Elevations of the S100B have been reported in relation to several states including that of [traumatic] brain injury. Outside of some research suggesting that elevations of S100B might also be a feature of diagnoses such as schizophrenia (see here), it has also been the topic of investigations with [some] autism in mind  too. The name of the game is elevations in S100B in relation to autism and more.
Based on analyses of fasting blood samples from "40 unmedicated children with autism" (where autism diagnoses were confirmed by study researchers) and 35 asymptomatic control children, researchers measured levels of plasma S100B alongside various markers of immune function (cytokines). Among the suite of cytokines examined, levels of "tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17A" were included. The idea of using unmedicated children with autism stems from the suggestion that at least one medication used for some autism might have the ability to elevate S100B .
Results: as per the opening sentence to this post, levels of S100B and TNF-α were 'different' between the groups (both elevated) and this finding remained "after controlling for age, sex, and BMI [body mass index]." Researchers also reported some results looking at whether ASD symptom presentation might show any 'association' with S100B levels. On this topic they reported that: "Plasma S100B concentrations in children with severe ASD symptoms were higher than in children with mild-moderate ASD symptoms" but when again controlling for age, sex and BMI this association did not hold (significantly). As for the other cytokines outside of TNF-α... nothing came up as significant between the groups. This is interesting in light of recent work (see here) and even Guloksuz et al talk about future "prospective longitudinal studies investigating a broad set of immune markers, both in serum and CSF [cerebrospinal fluid], in large samples" and the pros- and cons of looking in CFS.
Where next for this area of investigation? Well, taking into account the link between S100B and brain injury and what that could mean for cognitive processes for example, I'd be minded to suggest that more study is needed looking at the effect of S100B levels in relation to cognition and autism. Take for example the study results from Chen and colleagues  who reported that "serum S100B level was an independent contributor to the global cognitive dysfunctions, particularly for the speed of processing, attention/vigilance, visual learning and reasoning/problem solving subscores" in their cohort of participants with schizophrenia. Might similar correlations be present alongside S100B elevations in relation to autism? I'd also be minded to suggest looking at a possible role for comorbidities potentially accompanying a diagnosis of autism as being important for S100B elevations in light of other research on depression for example . Depression (various types) and autism is very much an important area of overlap (see here for example) and might actually offer at least one way to target elevations in S100B.
There is more to do on this topic.

Pride in the Park moves to new location in 2021 to hold "ever growing numbers"
After Sioux Falls Pride hosts their second-ever parade on June 26, the long-running Pride in the Park event is set to take place.
The event, which has been in Terrace Park in previous years, will instead be held at Cherapa Place, to "accommodate our ever growing numbers," according to the website.
Pride in the Park will feature performances from local musicians and drag artists, with food trucks and vendors selling merchandise.
Cody Ingle, the vice president of Sioux Falls Pride, said an event like this lets the LGBTQ community "live our authentic selves, especially in this state, where sometimes it can feel the opposite."
Having to postpone events due to the pandemic was hard, Ingle added, saying that the past two years have seen several bills in the state legislature aimed at their community.
"It brings a lot of encouragement," he said.
More information about Pride in the Park can be found at the Sioux Falls Pride website.

With a combination of classical music and the heart-warming flavor of pop-country style, the Annie Moses Band has been touring throughout the country, and is sharing its music with Houma.
The seven-member band highlights the virtuosi talents of classical musician siblings Annie, Alex and Benjamin Wolaver.
The three musicians fine-tuned their musicianship skills at the Julliard School in Manhattan, while keeping their focus on the Christian elements of music.
They performed Wednesday at Christ Baptist Church, and they will finish their swing through south Louisiana with a concert at 6 p.m. Sunday at First Baptist Church of Houma.
There is no admission for the concert; the performers have agreed to play on a love-offering basis.
"Our music is really kind of a hybrid style," said Annie Wolaver, lead singer and violinist. "We are string players. I play the violin. Alex plays the viola, and my brother Benjamin plays the cello."
Although the music has a strong classical influence, Wolaver said the band adds a little bit of blue grass and jazz into the mix.
The band also includes the parents of the three children. Robin Wolaver sings background vocals, while her husband, Bill, plays the piano.
The band has spent the last year on tour, promoting the latest of their three CDs, "Message in a Baby."
Band members have already performed on "Good Morning America," Public Radio International, Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
"It is really a sound like nothing you have ever heard before," said Chris Antill, music director at First Baptist Church. "They just blow you away with their music."
The band is named after the family's siblings' great-grandmother, Annie Moses.
She started the legacy of music in the Wolaver family, and they wanted to honor her tradition by naming the band after her, Annie Wolaver said.
One of Annie Wolaver's favorite songs is "Love's Legacy," which tells the story of her great-grandmother's life.
Benjamin, the 14-year-old cellist and youngest member of the band, said, "Our parents' musical skill both as writers and performers is part of the legacy and something we pull from artistically."
The band plays mostly Christian music and performs at many churches throughout the country.
But in spite of their strong Christian influence, Annie Wolaver said their music has had a warm reception outside of the Christian realm.
"We find that our music is very accepted outside of the church market. It has really been a wonderful experience for us," she said.
Much of the music is written by the Wolavers' parents, who have been published, award-winning songwriters for more than 15 years.
Other albums produced by the band include "Legacy," and "Cloud 9."
For information about the concert, call 856-2237.
More information about the band is available at www.anniemosesband.com.

- North Norco Channel Line NB, Stage 3 Project
- The District proposes to construct, operate and maintain the North Norco Channel Line NB, Stage 3 Project (Project). The Project will replace the previously constructed earthen channel with a concrete-lined trapezoidal and rectangular channel hat would convey the 100-year flow rate capacity. The channel would continue to convey stormwater runoff from the existing upstream Line NB and outlet into the existing concrete-lined North Norco Channel. A previous concrete block system invert will be used for water quality purposes at the western end of the channel and just upstream of the North Norco Channel. In addition, existing concrete culverts will be reconstructed across Valley View Avenue and Sierra Avenue. Storm drain lines, inlets, and catch basins would also be constructed/reconstructed on Sierra Avenue, Fortuna Road, Valley View Avenue, and Gallop Lane. The project may involve the acquisition of a property easement and utility relocations.
