Background F8-IL10 (Dekavil) is a human immunocytokine composed of the vascular targeting antibody F8, specific to the extradomain A of fibronectin, fused to the cytokine interleukin-10. F8-IL10 is being investigated in a dose-finding, PK phase Ib study and in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled phase II study, as a new therapeutic strategy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Objectives The primary objective of the phase Ib study is to determine the safety, tolerability and MTD of Dekavil in combination with methotrexate (MTX). The primary objective of the phase II study is to assess the superiority of Dekavil plus MTX over MTX by measuring the mean change from baseline of DAS28-CRP. Immunogenicity of F8-IL10 and its PK and PD profile will also be explored.
Methods Patients with active RA despite MTX therapy and who failed anti-TNFα treatment are the target population of both studies. In the phase Ib, cohorts of 3–6 patients are treated with escalating doses of Dekavil (6, 15, 30, 60, 110, 160, 210, 300, 450 and 600 μg/kg) in combination with a fixed dose of MTX (10–15 mg). In the phase II, patients are randomized to Dekavil 30 or 160 μg/kg plus MTX or placebo plus MTX. Dekavil is administered by s.c. injection once weekly for a maximum of 8 weeks in both studies.
Results The first 9 cohorts of the phase Ib study have been completed, 32 patients were treated and 31 are evaluable for DLT. One DLT (G2 purpura) was observed in one patient of the 9th cohort. The same patient had G1 thrombocytopenia and G3 ALT increase. Both events were considered related to the study drug and resolved within ten days. Neither SUSAR nor treatment-related deaths occurred. Mild injection site reactions were reported in 59% of patients and 2 cases of anemia (G2 and G3) were considered related to the study drug. All adverse reactions resolved after the end of treatment. Currently, the MTD has not been reached and the 600 μg/kg dose is ongoing. To date, 59.3% of the 27 patients analyzed for efficacy had ACR and EULAR responses, 29.6% and 11.1% had ACR50 and ACR70, respectively, at the low dosages of 15, 30 and 60 μg/kg. Two patients benefited from ACR70 response for 12 months after the last drug administration. In the phase II study, 13 out of 87 patients have been enrolled so far. To date, neither SUSAR nor treatment-related deaths were recorded.
Conclusions The promising safety and efficacy results, even at low dosages, of Dekavil in the phase Ib study led to the start of the phase II study to verify the efficacy of Dekavil in combination with MTX in the same patient population. The currently available data suggest that the targeted delivery of IL-10 to the sites of inflammation is a promising therapeutic approach for RA.

Sometimes, all you need is a little help and encouragement from your friends.
Daniel Boyers, a 10-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, hadn’t wanted to run in a school sport’s day race because he thought the other kids would laugh at him.Woman banned from all national parks after Instagram graffiti
But as his friends saw him getting upset with his mum Wendy, they rallied around and encouraged him to take part.
Then, to the surprise of parents and teachers at St Oswalds Catholic Primary School, in Ashton-in-Makerfield, the year five pupils all ran alongside Daniel for the entire race.
And just before the finish, they slowed down to let Daniel overtake – and win the gold medal.
The young boy can be seen cheering hysterically after crossing the red tape and realising that he’d won.
As he rushed over to his mum, Daniel cried: ‘I am so happy I’ve come first. I have never done it before.’
Wendy, 40, said that Daniel runs the race every year – but he always comes last.Teen throws cat off fourth floor balcony ‘to see if it will land on its feet’
‘Daniel ran straight to me and burst into hysterical tears,’ she said. ‘The children that ran the race are absolutely brilliant, all of the children in the class, everyone, are supportive of him and make sure he is always included.’
Wendy had shared the video on her Facebook page, with the message: ‘This is inclusion, but the kind that you can’t teach. This comes from the heart.’

Former Boston high school dean Shaun O. Harrison, who allegedly recruited students to the Latin Kings gang, has been sentenced to over 18 years in prison.
Per The Boston Globe, the 63-year-old Harrison pleaded guilty to conspiracy to conduct enterprise affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity (a.k.a. RICO) last year. On Thursday, he was sentenced to serve 18 years and two months, or 218 months, in prison. He’s been given credit for 98 months already served and will be put on three years of supervised release following the prison term.
“The level of betrayal and dishonesty exhibited here is astonishing,” said Massachusetts US Attorney Rachael S. Rollins in a statement. “Harrison was in a position of trust, but was actually a dangerous predator. As the academic dean at a Boston Public high school he lured and manipulated teenagers into a criminal enterprise that specialized in street terrorism. Harrison was the architect of ruin for an entire generation of promising young lives."
Prosecutors alleged that Harrison was part of the Latin Kings gang while he served as the dean at The English High School in Boston. He was previously convicted in 2018 for attempting to kill one of his students. He was sentenced to 26 years for the attempted murder.
Harrison was hired as the high school’s dean in 2015 and recruited children into the gang. He forced the children to push drugs such as marijuana. When he learned that one of the students he recruited planned to keep money for themselves and thought about going to the police, he met with the student and shot them in the back of the head. The student survived the shooting, which was captured on a surveillance camera.
Federal prosecutors have also alleged that he has continued to work with the Latin Kings following his 2018 conviction. “The fact that Harrison continued to associate with Latin Kings members while in state prison … shows a callous disregard for the law and the harm he caused,” added Rollins.

'Seminal project for Scotland' as plans unveiled for green methanol facility at Nigg terminal
Global Energy Group has sealed a deal to develop a green methanol facility at the Nigg Oil Terminal in the Highlands.
The UK port operator said it had entered into an agreement with Swiss-based integrated energy company Proman to develop a renewable power to methanol plant utilising local sources of captured carbon dioxide.
Proman is the second largest methanol producer in the world. Subject to the successful completion of ongoing financial and technical feasibility studies, and further development and financing of the project, the firm will become the owner and operator of the new facility.
Global Energy Group (GEG) said it was looking to “strengthen the resilience and competitiveness” of the Cromarty Firth region by establishing an industrial low carbon cluster at the port.
Green methanol is a renewable, liquid product that is used as a transportation fuel or as a feedstock in the chemical industry. It is produced from recycled carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced from renewable electricity using proven technologies such as electrolysis.
Tim Cornelius, chief executive of GEG, described the plans as a “potentially seminal project for Scotland”.
He said: “Green methanol can be made from many plentiful sources and with the efforts being made to capture North Sea carbon dioxide, we hope to become an important customer and consumer of projects such as the Acorn Project to produce clean fuels for the wider maritime transport sector.
“Onshore and offshore wind is one of the world’s fastest growing sources of energy, however, wind power must be dispatched as soon as it is produced, even if there is not enough demand for electricity.
“This plant will have the capability of harnessing excess power to produce green methanol, which can then be used as an automotive or shipping fuel or as a chemical building block in thousands of everyday products.”
David Cassidy, chief executive of Proman, added: “As a global leader in methanol production we are actively investing and pursuing green methanol projects to further develop methanol’s potential as a clean fuel for the future.
“Working with Global Energy Group in establishing green methanol production in Scotland is an exciting development in our strategy.”

OBC quota: Maharashtra govt to resend ordinance to governor Koshyari for approval
The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by chief minister Uddhav Thackeray has decided to resend its ordinance, for providing reservations to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the rural local bodies’ elections, to Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari. The state cabinet on Wednesday decided that there is no need to take prior permission from the Supreme Court (SC) for promulgating the ordinance as OBC reservation will not exceed 27% and the total reservation quota in any of the districts will not breach the 50% cap determined by the Apex court.
The decision was taken in response to the query raised by the Governor, who refused to clear the ordinance saying that the state government should inform the Apex court in advance, as the reservation of the OBC community was scrapped by it.
The state government has also decided to provide up to 27% reservation to the OBC community in the urban local bodies (ULBs) such as municipal corporations, municipal councils and nagar panchayats. The state urban development department will promulgate another ordinance to this effect. With the ordinance, it will make amendments in three legislations — Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act and Maharashtra Municipal Councils, Nagar Panchayats and Industrial Townships Act.
The hearing on a petition filed by the state government for OBC reservation is also scheduled for September 23 (Thursday). The state government has filed a writ petition in the Apex Court seeking Socio-Economic Caste Census, 2011 data from the Centre for providing reservation to the OBC community.
The state government has recently sent the ordinance to provide reservation to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) in the rural local bodies elections to the governor seeking his approval. The ordinance can be promulgated only after the governor’s approval.
“The OBC reservation in local bodies was scrapped following the SC verdict. As an interim provision, the state government has decided to provide up to 27% reservation to the OBC community and the total reservation quota (combined quota of Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and OBC will also not violate the 50% quota set by the Supreme Court. The ordinance will be issued following the SC judgement thus there is no need to take its permission once again,” stated a release issued by the chief minister office (CMO).
“We have decided to resend the ordinance back to the Governor (Bhagat Singh Koshyari) with a decision that the state will inform the Supreme Court once it is issued. The Governor is of the view that the SC should be informed before issuing the ordinance as it is an Apex court’s decision. I am confused about the stand taken by him as he would have directed us to inform SC soon after the ordinance is promulgated,” said Hasan Mushrif, rural development minister.
“Instead of supporting the move taken by the state government, he (Bhagat Singh Koshyari) is creating fresh issues. As an alternative to the problem of OBC reservation, the state cabinet decided to bring an ordinance. It will help in providing reservation to the community in the local bodies’ elections except for four-five districts, which is far better than depriving the entire community of reservation benefits in the local bodies polls,” he commented.
Last week, the state government decided to promulgate an ordinance to make amendments in the legislation to provide reservation to the OBC community in rural local bodies without breaching the 50% reservation cap mandated by the SC.
The decision was taken after the state election commission declared bypolls in six district councils (zilla parishads) on October 5.
An ordinance is a temporary law approved by the governor (on the advice of the state government) when the state legislature is not in session. An ordinance becomes a permanent Act (the law of the land) on being approved by state legislature within six weeks, if not then it is bound to lapse.
On March 4, the SC ruled that the reservation in favour of the OBC in local bodies should not result in exceeding the 50% cap in reservation quota mandated by it. It has directed the state government to appoint a dedicated commission for collecting empirical data, based on which, the reservation quota of the community be fixed and also allowed the state election commission to hold local bodies polls without having reservations for OBCs.
This could prove politically damaging for the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government and hence it was decided to take the ordinance route to save the OBC reservation.
“If the governor did not sign the ordinance, then it will send a wrong signal in the OBC community. If the governor did not approve the ordinance, then the state government will be left with no other option but to wait for the empirical data to be collected, which will take some time,” the rural development minister said.
According to the cabinet decision, the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities will continue to get the reservation quota based on their population but the OBC community will get the remaining percent within the 50% ceiling. With the ordinance, the state rural development department will make amendments in two legislations — Maharashtra Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samitis Act, 1961 and Maharashtra Village Panchayat Act for zilla parishads, panchayat samiti and gram panchayats.
After the amendments, the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) communities will continue to get the reservation quota based on their population in the local bodies but the OBC community will get the remaining per cent within the 50% ceiling and that too not more than 27%.
The state government believes that they will be able to secure around 90% seats of the OBC community with the ordinance.
Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis defended the governor and claimed he returned the ordinance in the interest of the state and OBC community. “The law and judiciary department opined that the matter is pending before the SC and before its permission ordinance should not be promulgated. The opinion can be set aside by seeking the views of the advocate general (AG) else it can be stayed immediately in the court of law. But the state government decided to overlook the law and judiciary department’s opinion and sent the file to the governor for final approval. The governor pointed out the opinion of the law and judiciary department and sought clarification,” Fadnavis told reporters.
Ulhas Bapat, a constitutional expert said that the provisions of the ordinance cannot be implemented in the bypolls declared by the state election commission and even the court cannot interfere during the election process. “In my view, the state election commission will not accept it as they have already announced bypolls. It has all the rights and the state government can’t interfere. Even the court cannot interfere in the election process once it is declared. After the bypolls, its validity can be challenged in the court of law,” Bapat said.
“Due process such as empirical data, approval of the state backward classes commission etc. is expected to be followed before providing reservation to a community. In its absence, the ordinance can easily be challenged in the court of law and hence I don’t see its future,” Bapat opined when asked if the amendment can be implemented for the local bodies’ election due early next year.
More than 15 municipal corporations (including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane), 29 of 36 district councils and over 90 municipal councils will go for polls over the next one year. The election bandwagon to these local bodies in such a huge number is considered as the ‘mini assembly polls’.
Koshyari and the MVA government have been locked in a bitter tussle for quite some time. The governor is yet to clear the 12 names approved by the state cabinet in November last year to be appointed as the members of the legislative council. Every six years, 12 members are nominated to the Upper House of the state legislature by the governor on the recommendation of the state government.


In a few weeks, a new mayor will be elected in Frankfurt. In the process, the Frankfurt voters have the agony of choice, because a total of 20 election proposals were approved. A total of 21 election proposals were submitted, on which the municipal election committee decided in its meeting on Friday, January 6, under the chairmanship of the deputy municipal election officer Stefan Köster. The deadline for submission ended on Boxing Day, December 26, 2022, at 6 p.m.
Twenty of these election proposals were admitted, exceeding the previous highest figure of the 2018 OB election with twelve admitted election proposals by eight election proposals. Never before have there been so many election proposals in Frankfurt am Main since the first direct election of the Lord Mayor in 1995, which will be reflected on the ballot on Sunday, March 5.
Twelve election proposals are carried by parties and voter groups. Eight election proposals are so-called individual candidates. A total of four women (-1 compared to 2018) and 16 men (+9 compared to 2018) face the vote of the voters.
In addition, at the meeting of the election committee for the admission of the election proposals, the order of the election proposals was also established and determined in accordance with the requirements of the Hessian Local Election Act. First, the election proposals of the parties or voter groups represented in the municipal council were listed according to the number of votes they received in the last election to the municipal council. Then followed the other election proposals, whose order - as provided by law - was determined by drawing lots.
To the election stand:
1 Dr. Manuela Rottmann, BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN
2 Uwe Becker, CDU
3 Mike Josef, SPD
4 Dr. Daniela Mehler-Würzbach, DIE LINKE

I have been struggling with this story for over an hour, and still I feel I have no place to tell this story. I am ill-equipped, poorly-educated, and not nearly strong enough to tell the story without vitriol and hatred. How can I give this man the honour he deserves? And yet this day could not pass without mentioning Stephen Bantu Biko, the man who lived, bled, and ultimately died – naked, hungry and tortured on the back of a Land Rover as he was being driven near 700 miles to the ‘closest’ hospital for treatment to injuries.
When you think of Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko, Trevor Noah’s story seems that of a charmed life. Even now that I know apartheid is technically over, the knowledge does nothing to assuage my aching heart; it does nothing to ease the thought of suffering, oppression, violence, brutality and large-scale ethnic cleansing of people on their own land.
Steve Biko: We May Choose To forgive; But We Must Never Forget
According to Wikipedia, on 18 August 1977, Biko was arrested at a police roadblock under the Terrorism Act No 83 of 1967. He was interrogated by officers of the Port Elizabeth security police. This interrogation took place in the Police Room 619 of the Sanlam Building in Port Elizabeth. The interrogation lasted twenty-two hours and included torture and beatings resulting in a coma. He suffered a major head injury while in police custody at the Walmer Police Station, in a suburb of Port Elizabeth. Steve Biko was chained to a window grille for a day.
On 11 September 1977, police loaded him in the back of a Land Rover, naked and restrained in manacles, and began the 1,100-kilometre (680 mi) drive to Pretoria to take him to a prison with hospital facilities. He was nearly dead owing to the previous injuries. He died shortly after arrival at the Pretoria prison, on 12 September. The police claimed his death was the result of an extended hunger strike; but an autopsy revealed multiple bruises and abrasions. It also revealed that he ultimately succumbed to a brain haemorrhage from the massive injuries to the head, which many saw as strong evidence that he had been brutally clubbed by his captors. Then Donald Woods, a journalist, editor and close friend of Biko’s, along with Helen Zille, later leader of the Democratic Alliance political party, exposed the truth behind Biko’s death.
It is not enough to say Steve Biko died that we might live. We must live WELL. We must be free and free indeed.
I do not know if there is a God. If there is, is it not this same God who told these people to commit the atrocities they did? And surely they knew Him first so perhaps they get first dibs on favours? I don’t know. But if there is an afterlife, I hope you found rest there. And if you are but dust, then we who are alive, we remember.

Which type of current is used in denervated muscle?
Modifide direct current are used to stimulate denervated muscles. 3.
Does electrical stimulation help nerve damage?
All experimental results indicated that electrical stimulation facilitates regeneration of injured nerve; direct stimulation caused better recovery than TENS with respect to functional and morphological parameters during the six weeks of the experiment.
What is electrotherapy muscle stimulation?
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a type of electrotherapy stimulates a muscle contraction using electrical impulses in order strengthen weak muscles, reduce swelling, relieve pain and help heal wounds.
Does electrotherapy treatment help nerve regeneration?
Brief low-frequency electrical stimulation accelerates motor and sensory axon outgrowth across injury sites that, even after delayed surgical repair of injured nerves in animal models and patients, enhances nerve regeneration and target reinnervation.
What is tens massager?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a method of pain relief involving the use of a mild electrical current. A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes.
Which current is used in muscle stimulator?
Faradic current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration ranging from 0.1 to 1 ms with a frequency of 50 to 100 Hz. Faradic current is surged to produce tetanic contraction and relaxation of the muscle.
Can a TENS unit build muscle?
TENS is a machine that delivers a different range of pulses to muscles and tissue meant to confuse or negate pain signals. It is also designed to release endorphins. Since it does not cause a full muscle contraction, TENS can’t be used to build muscle.
Can TENS regrow nerves?
These findings suggest that High-TENS applied just after a peripheral nerve crush may be deleterious for regeneration, whereas Low-TENS may increase nerve regeneration capacity.
What does a TENS unit do for muscles?
When the machine is switched on, small electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area of your body, which you feel as a tingling sensation. The electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles.
Can direct electrical stimulation of denervated muscles replace innervation?
Evidence accumulated from animal studies has indicated that direct electrical stimulation of denervated muscles can to a large extent substitute for innervation and preserve or restore the normal properties of the muscles.
What is denervated muscle?
In this paper denervated muscle refers to skeletal muscle that is anatomically isolated from motor nerve fibers. Two excellent reviews have been published recently regarding the effect of electrical stimulation on healthy muscles(26,41).
What waveforms are used for denervated and innervated muscle?
As the electrical stimulation must act directly on the muscle fibres signficantly different stimulation parameters must be used compared with the case of innervated muscle. The “classical” waveforms used for denervated muscle are triangular shaped.
How does electrical stimulation work?
In these approaches and the most commonly seen applications, the electrical stimulation method relies on the muscle being innervated – with an intact nerve structure. When the nerve structure is intact relatively small amounts of electricity can cause a functionally useful effect such as a muscle contraction.

There are few instances in life that leave me speechless. Our society has morphed into a series of antics, people attempting anything to extend 15 minutes of fame with meaningless action for clicks, likes and the like. One has to be intentional to seek and find authentic beauty. About eight years ago, my mother in law gifted me with some eight o’clocks. They are a stunning yellow flower that opens at 8ish in the evening and closes at 8ish the following morning. Before the flower opens, it shakes a bit, signaling preparation and then it unfolds. As the night solidifies its existence, the flower opens up all the more. Further, there is an adoring fragrance that accompanies the petals that fill the night air. For years as the eight o’clocks made their return to our home, I stood outside watching the spectacle in our front yard. One after the other, the flowers burst wide open for all the neighborhood and onlookers to view. We stood in awe, anticipating the next rumble. I don’t know the science behind all the flowers went through to come forth as pure gold, but I was certainly glad to witness their “coming out party,” night after night.
Last summer, the eight o’clocks did not emerge. They usually arrive in late May, dance nightly for about 4-5 weeks and lie dormant until the next summer. Other flowers in the yard participated in our front yard performance. The show went on, but without the star of the production. I was sad. Not only because of the absence of my favorite summer phenomenon, but also deeply saddened by several trials I was navigating. I’ve always believed in the connection and alignment between spirit and nature. Without question, I assumed I’d willed the beauty away. I had little capacity to hold it; limited space to receive it and limped love to appreciate it. To be sure, all around me, it felt as though everyone else was bursting into newness like the eight o’clocks, while I desperately hoped for just a little shimmy. Sadness is not a choice but willing oneself from a saddened state is. What was my remedy? An intersection of worship and therapy. Worship allowed me to remain connected to the vine, the true vine (John 15:1-2), while therapy provided a tangible connection on earth. And now, even as therapy has concluded (open door for maintenance), worship remains a critical component of my daily regimen. I look forward to my encounters and experiences with God. I wait on Him. I look for His beauty. I anticipate Him opening up, fuller than the time before. I long for His fragrance. And when He shakes things up in my life, I can count that something magical is coming forth. Worship brought me forth. Let me be clear, I’ve always been a worshipper, but worshipping from the lowest state one can imagine oneself creates a completely different commitment and sustainability. Worship manifested into wellness.
In May, the eight o’clocks returned. After a year’s sabbatical, they showed up in all their glory. I cried tears of joy, reminding me that we serve a God of resurrection. In the words of J.J. Hairston, “He’s the God of miracles, signs and wonders.” It’s now September, and the eight o’clocks are still opening nightly, extending their residency for about two months and counting. They’ve never lasted so long. They’ve been plenteous. They’re more beautiful than I can remember. Further, they are still living on a vine that appears brown and unresponsive. What powerful imagery and an equally powerful message that God sent forth to His daughter, and you. There remains life on the vine, even amidst death. It may not be visible, and I would further suggest, even comprehensible, but keep on worshipping. Keep looking for God to show up. Stand still awaiting His salvation. Be open to His shaking, propelling you to new realms and new dimensions in Him. There remains life on the vine. This has left me speechless, with the exception of a “Hallelujah.”


Look no additional than vehicles should you’re within the newest technological developments. It undoubtedly feels just like the automotive business sees a number of the greatest developments in know-how. What’s fascinating is that most of the developments and tech implementations have a trickle-down impact. They begin in high-level motorsport – like Components 1 – and steadily discover their strategy to on a regular basis motor automobiles.
The subject of as we speak’s dialogue is automotive know-how that may form the way forward for this business. Among the issues we’ll speak about are apparent, whereas others could take you abruptly.
We will’t speak about automotive know-how with out mentioning electrical automobiles. Governments world wide are introducing laws to push ahead the electrical automotive revolution. Anticipate to see increasingly more EVs on the roads throughout the subsequent decade. Issues are already heating up, however extra funding should be put into the infrastructure for EVs to actually take over.
Clearly, there are various advantages to driving an electrical automobile. The apparent one is that you just produce zero carbon emissions. EVs are additionally arguably safer than combustion engine vehicles due to an absence of inner elements. This implies there are fewer issues that may go bust, resulting in a decreased probability of repairs. Nonetheless, there are components of electrical vehicles that many individuals don’t like – however we’ll contact on that afterward.
Autonomous driving is one other one of many “apparent” automotive applied sciences to debate. For people who don’t know, this principally refers to self-driving vehicles. We’re seeing some implementations of this know-how already, at completely different ranges. Most of the vehicles we drive as we speak will embrace some kind of autonomous driving function. This could possibly be so simple as cruise management or assisted parking. In some vehicles, most famously Teslas, you may truly make the automotive drive itself for a interval.
This know-how is anticipated to revolutionize the auto business – however is it actually vital? What are the advantages of vehicles that drive themselves? In idea, if each automotive was autonomous, you’d see fewer accidents as you take away human error and foolish drivers from the equation. You might also see much less site visitors as vehicles could be programmed to take probably the most environment friendly routes potential – although that continues to be to be seen.
From an accessibility standpoint, autonomous driving is right for people that can’t or aren’t allowed to drive. Folks with sure disabilities – or aged folks – could be extra impartial. Whereas they aren’t able to driving, they will nonetheless personal a automotive and get round with out counting on others.
It’s fascinating to see how far the business can push the entire self-driving factor. There are nonetheless so many questions surrounding this know-how. For instance, who’s liable for a crash? Is it the proprietor of the self-driving automobile or the producer?
Speaking about know-how that may form the longer term, we’ve got to debate sustainable fuels. This features a entire host of gas varieties that can be utilized time and again. Frequent sustainable fuels embrace biofuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil or bioethanol. It’s believed that these fuels have the flexibility to scale back greenhouse fuel emissions as successfully as electrical automobiles.
Whereas EV know-how is correct right here, proper now, sustainable fuels are nonetheless just a few years away. In reality, we’re seeing it come into implementation in Components 1 over the subsequent few years. The powers that be try to make this motorsport Web Zero Carbon by 2030. Sustainable gas know-how will play an enormous position on this as they don’t need to make F1 vehicles 100% electrical. In the event you’re questioning why it’s as a result of there’s already a 100% electrical motorsport in Components E.
When this begins being rolled out in Components 1, it’ll in all probability be just a few years earlier than we see it in highway vehicles. Nonetheless, it’s a extremely thrilling know-how that provides an alternative choice to electrical vehicles. As talked about earlier than, there are some drawbacks to EVs that many individuals don’t like. Most notably, ready on your automotive to cost. Sustainable fuels take away this situation whereas nonetheless serving to the planet. Folks additionally dislike how quiet electrical automobiles are. You lose the gritty sound of an engine, which is a part of the pleasure of driving. With biofuels, you continue to get the roar of an engine by a meaty twin exhaust system. It permits automotive fanatics to benefit from the typical driving expertise with out worrying about air pollution.
Automotive mirrors are all the time necessary for security functions. With out them, you wouldn’t see what was taking place behind you. As such, plenty of accidents can be triggered. Nevertheless, there are points with mirrors that know-how can enhance. Particularly, a mirror can solely present a lot. This causes us to have blind spots that automobiles, pedestrians, or cyclists can slip into with out us figuring out. Furthermore, mirrors don’t all the time paint the clearest image – they are often smudged, soiled, or simply lack the imaginative and prescient to indicate a deeper discipline of view.
Consequently, we’re seeing the implementation of digital mirrors. This can be a actually fascinating thought that you just didn’t suppose was wanted, however after seeing it in motion, you agree that it’s doubtlessly revolutionary. As a substitute of conventional mirrors, you will have cameras on the facet and rear of your automotive that present fixed footage to screens contained in the cockpit. They’re positioned simply contained in the doorways the place you would possibly naturally look in your facet mirrors. The distinction is that you just consistently get clear imaginative and prescient – and also you’re capable of see extra of the highway behind you. An analogous know-how is used for the rear-view digital camera, which may principally remove any blind spots.
Some vehicles are already utilizing this tech, but it surely’s nonetheless below growth and must be refined. There are just a few worries – as an illustration, what if it rains or the cameras get soiled? Absolutely your view is then obstructed? Corporations are working to stop this by defending the cameras and guaranteeing they nonetheless provide a transparent view when it’s moist and wet. This know-how is certainly value getting enthusiastic about because it makes driving simpler and safer for all highway customers.
You would possibly learn this and immediately make a reference to sensible lighting within the residence. Certainly, we’re seeing sensible lights crop up on a regular basis. In your home, sensible lights are managed by way of apps and allow you to enhance the performance of the common-or-garden mild bulb. In a automotive, sensible lighting is essentially completely different – and far more spectacular.
Is there something worse than driving alongside at evening and consistently having to change your lights off full-beam when there’s an oncoming driver? It’s even worse once they don’t provide the identical courtesy, leaving you momentarily blinded. Sensible lighting appears to instantly counter this drawback. As a substitute of needing to manually change your lights relying on the setting, they do it for you.
Sure, it will imply that your lights go on full-beam when it’s darkish or foggy with out you needing to do something. When one other driver seems forward of you, the lights mechanically tone themselves all the way down to keep away from dazzling them. It’s a very fascinating technological development that makes your life a lot simpler. Mainly, you will have one much less factor to fret about. Once more, it additionally improves driver security, which is a operating theme with many tech developments on this business.
Sticking with sensible know-how, sensible tires are quickly to be a factor. How can a tire be sensible? Effectively, it turns on the market are two alternative ways that is potential.
Firstly, you will have sensible tires that feed data to drivers about issues like tire strain or tread depth. This allows you to keep in management and be taught when you’ll want to swap tires or prime up the strain earlier than it will get harmful. It might look like a tiny function, however this might truly prevent a fortune and make your automotive a lot safer. Driving with worn tires will increase gas consumption and boosts the possibilities of one thing turning into broken and requiring expensive repairs. The identical goes for tires on the incorrect strain – each of which even have a heightened probability of inflicting accidents.
The second kind of sensible tire is one which works with wheels relying on highway circumstances. Tire width and strain are mechanically altered primarily based on should you’re driving on moist or dry roads. In idea, it ought to present the optimum tire settings everytime you drive. Of all of the automotive tech we’ve talked about, that is probably the most intriguing. Among the earliest implementations of those tires have settings for dry, moist, and slippery highway surfaces. It stays to be seen if this know-how will truly work in the long run because it’s nonetheless very new. Hopefully it does because it’s actually cool!
On that be aware, you’ve reached the top of this put up. As talked about within the intro, a number of the know-how right here is clear. You’ve little question heard of electrical automobiles and autonomous driving many occasions earlier than. However, have been you conscious of issues like sustainable fuels, digital cameras, sensible lights, and sensible tires? These are the kind of developments that slip below the radar but could play a pivotal position in shaping the way forward for the automotive business.


President Donald Trump aforesaid Fri that he would keep his want for China to analyze the Biden family become independent from high-stakes trade talks with capital of Red China.
A day earlier, the president aforesaid, “China ought to begin associate degree investigation” into Joe Biden and his son Hunter — prompting additional fears regarding him abusing his power to do to influence the 2020 election by pushing foreign governments to probe one in all his chief political rivals. Trump’s efforts to urge Ukraine’s government to analyze the previous vp prompted the House official document inquiry into Trump.
“One factor has nothing to try to to with the opposite,” Trump aforesaid once asked if he was additional probably to strike a trade affect China if its government investigates Biden.
Trump’s comments Th raised considerations regarding whether or not he might use a look into the Bidens as a part of in progress trade talks with China, one in all his biggest domestic and policy priorities. The world’s 2 largest economies have tried to strike a trade deal amid a conflict that has vulnerable to pull on international economic process and contributed to fears a couple of U.S. recession sooner than Trump’s election bid.
Earlier Fri, House Speaker urban center Pelosi questioned whether or not Trump referred to Biden throughout China trade talks.
The CA Democrat tweeted: “What did @realDonaldTrump promise China in exchange for busy in our election? a neater deal on trade? Ignoring quelling on Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement? Condoning repression of spiritual freedom?”
There is no indication currently that Trump or officers in his administration tied any piece of the talks to work Biden. Asked Fri what he aforesaid to the Chinese government regarding the Bidens, the president responded, “I don’t apprehend.”
Trump claimed he “does not care regarding Biden’s campaign,” however he will “care regarding corruption.” Trump has leveled uncorroborated accusations that Biden, as vp, tried to get rid of Ukraine’s chief prosecuting attorney so as to prevent him from work his son, UN agency was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.
Asked if he has ever urged an overseas leader to analyze somebody UN agency isn’t a political rival, the president aforesaid, “We’d have to be compelled to look.”
Trade discussions between the U.S. and China can resume Th in Washington. The Trump administration has pushed for capital of Red China to deal with what he calls unfair trade practices, together with holding felony and compelled technology transfers. He has conjointly pushed China to shop for additional U.S. agricultural merchandise to cut back the deficit between the countries.
The Trump administration has cuffed tariffs on over $500 billion in Chinese product. capital of Red China has place duties on $110 billion in yankee product, targeting agricultural merchandise specifically.
The president conjointly contended Biden would roll over in trade talks with China if he won the White House.
“How would you prefer to possess, as associate degree example, Joe Biden negotiating the China deal if he took it over from Maine once the election?” Trump asked. “He would provide them everything. He would provide them everything. however would you prefer to possess that?”
Biden has criticized the Trump administration’s trade war with China. in a very policy speech in Gregorian calendar month, Biden referred to as to clamp down on Chinese trade abuses however aforesaid the U.S. required to require action along side a “united front” of allies.


De Blasio's Lame 'Tax the Rich' Fix for the Subway
By the New York Post Editorial Board
Just to confirm that he’d rather play political games than help get the subways fixed, Mayor de Blasio over the weekend dropped a “plan” to tax the city’s rich to get the MTA more cash.
Naturally, it’s something he can’t actually do himself: The Legislature and Gov. Cuomo would have to change state law.
And never mind he’s been claiming the subways aren’t his responsibility, or that he utterly ignored them (including never riding the trains) until the crisis struck — and then went into blame-everyone-else mode.
Or that he’s now contradicting the main argument he’s been making, namely that the city is already covering its fair share of the MTA’s budget, since the new revenue would come entirely from the five boroughs.


Why exactly do cities build new housing?
The most probable answer to this question is that it is expected that more people are to move in as a result of new opportunities. And in the times before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was expected that people would have to travel from their homes to work. Therefore, an increase in the housing supply held the potential to change the traffic dynamics of a particular area, whether it be a new car on the road or more people in the streets. To ensure that this new change is manageable, Transportation Impact Assessments (more informally known as Traffic Studies) have to be completed for any new development in Los Angeles.
To put it simply, traffic studies are quantitative and qualitative analysis that determine the impact of new housing development has on the surrounding transportation system. Although traffic studies used to be concerned with primarily cars, they have evolved to include a much more holistic vision, such as the safety of pedestrians. Traffic studies are mandated for most developments under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) so the public has an understanding of what the new development might bring and decide how to move forward with the project. If it turns out that the new development might bring too much traffic, then modifications can be made to mitigate the impacts.
Traffic Study Metrics
From the mid-century until 2018, all traffic studies in the state of California primarily
measured the effects of a project on generating traffic in an intersection (also known as Level of Service or LOS). If a project’s impact was too large, then a typical mitigation was to generate more road capacity (such as bigger intersections). If the development was in a dense area where the streets were already at their maximum width, then it would be virtually impossible to build something that would provide a large amount of housing units without creating unavoidable significant impacts. This was a vital part of the state’s CEQA code, which meant that the environmental-friendliness of new housing developments would be measured by how much more difficult they made traffic. Resultantly, suburban sprawl was promoted by state code while dense-infill developments were penalized.
In 2013, The state government decided that this needed to change with the passage of Senator Darrell Steinberg’s landmark bill SB 743. SB 743 recognized that the old automobile-centric system of level of service was harmful to communities and the planet, and that a paradigm shift was necessary to commit California to climate and social justice. Adopted in its place would be Vehicle Miles Travelled, also known as VMT. As the name implies, Vehicle Miles Travelled measures how many vehicle miles that will be generated by a development. To illustrate, although a single-family house built in the exurban fringes of the San Fernando Valley will not add much more housing capacity, the people who live there will have to travel long distances to get to where they need to be, generating a large number of vehicle miles travelled. Conversely, a dense multi-family development in Koreatown will bring a lot of new residents, but not many VMTs since people can walk and take transit to work and activities. VMTs will often be divided by the total population of the new development to obtain how many VMTs are created per-capita. This way dense urban infill development will be incentivized while suburban sprawl will be penalized.
Although SB 743 was signed into law in 2013, it took many years for the state to develop the new VMT metrics, and ultimately the state gave cities until July 1, 2020 to adopt VMTs as the new metric. Los Angeles adopted the changeover in 2019, an entire year ahead of schedule!
The Traffic Study Process
So now that we know how traffic studies are measured, how exactly can we initiate and complete one?
The entire journey will start out with an experienced professional. Consultants (and sometimes city staff) will be contacted by a developer with a request for a traffic study for a particular project. In the City of Los Angeles, traffic studies are typically required unless the project generates less than 250 daily trips or is 100% affordable housing. The professional will then meet with the local jurisdiction (for a project happening in the City of Los Angeles this will be LADOT) and discuss what the possible issues might be and what the scope would look like. After coming to an agreement with them, the consultant or city staff will then proceed with the study.
In the City of Los Angeles, this will begin with a very particular tool called a VMT calculator. The City of Los Angeles has prepared an excel spreadsheet tool which allows for an individual to enter in the project’s address, existing and proposed land-use type (such as single-family, multi-family, or mixed-use) at the location, and number of unit and return the number of daily vehicle trips and VMT expected for the existing and proposed development. The tool is quite sophisticated, and allows for the user to choose from a variety of land-use types, ranging from multi-family housing to affordable housing to schools! If you’re curious to try the tool out, just check out the application right here.
In addition to the VMT calculation, Non-CEQA components will have to be analyzed. These include driveway access, intersections up and down the block, commercial projects near residential neighborhoods and cut through traffic, and a review of pedestrian and transit and review part of access around (like is a sidewalk missing?). Afterwards, the professionals preparing the traffic study will have it reviewed by city staff. After back and forth discussion and edits, it will be incorporated into the environmental document for the project (such as an environmental impact report or EIR), which is in turn sent out for public review and comments through CEQA.
In the public review session, local residents and concerned individuals will be able to show up and speak their minds about the impacts on travel that the new project may bring. For some NIMBYs, this may represent the perfect time to delay or downsize the project by saying the traffic impacts will be too heavy or that the study must include more aspects. Some professionals are preemptive of this and commit to a “leave no stone unturned” policy of taking into account every possible avenue in the traffic study. In other words, instead of just performing the study on the “low-hanging fruit” impacts, every single possible perturbation of impacts may be looked at. Once this process is completed, the project can go forward. A single traffic study can cost around $30,000 to $50,000 on average, and much higher for more complex projects.
Understanding how a new development affects the flow of travel in an area is vital for any new development. Whether it be through level of service or vehicle miles traveled, the community needs a way to grasp potential impacts before committing to a decision. Any developer needs to be aware of their importance, as failure to do so can be the undermining of even the most well-designed project. To lead Los Angeles towards a more housing abundant future, local policy makers should push forward legislation on making traffic studies even more complementary towards more production. Potential actions range from taking VMTs out of CEQA and therefore reducing its potential to stop projects to removing VMT limits for developments in dense urban areas so hyper large projects can be created.

BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Foreign countries and experts have joined forces to condemn the passage of the so-called "Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act of 2019" by the U.S. House of Representatives despite China's strong opposition.
They said that the U.S. move interferes in China's internal affairs, slanders human rights conditions in Xinjiang, smears China's efforts against terrorism and extremism, and exposes U.S. double standards on anti-terrorism.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry expressed its condemnation in a statement that said that the passage of the Xinjiang-related bill by the U.S. House of Representatives violates international law and interferes in China's internal affairs.
The Chinese government is committed to cracking down on terrorism, extremism and separatism, and has contributed to the international anti-terrorism cause, said the Syrian Foreign Ministry, adding that China has the right to safeguard its sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign states has become a regular act of the United States, which has a history of exterminating Native Americans and enslaving Africans and has triggered innocent deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen and other countries.
The United States is not qualified to comment on human rights and racial issues as well as the ethnic affairs of other countries, the statement said.
Sonia Bressler, a French expert on China, has visited Xinjiang several times. In her opinion, Xinjiang is a place where many ethnic groups live together harmoniously.
She said the passage of the Xinjiang-related bill mirrored Washington's hegemonic mindset to use "human rights" as a cover to mislead public opinion.
Ezzat Saad, director of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs, paid a visit two years ago to Urumqi, capital city of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. He said that Xinjiang's economic development and social progress are closely related to its anti-terrorism and anti-extremism measures.
No country has the right to interfere in Xinjiang affairs, which are China's internal affairs, he said, adding that the United States using the so-called "human rights issues" to meddle in China's internal affairs is "blackmail."
Bambang Suryono, an Indonesian scholar and president of the Jakarta-based think tank Nanyang ASEAN Foundation, said the Xinjiang-related bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, which ignores the facts and confuses right with wrong, is an example of hegemonism and interventionism.
The effective policies implemented by the Chinese government focus on the long-term stability and sound development of Xinjiang, providing inspiration to other countries, Suryono said.


National Gallery director Nicholas Penny leaving post
Dr Penny presided over its most successful exhibition and record visitors
Tuesday 24 June 2014
The director of the National Gallery is leaving his job after six years in the prestigious post.
Dr Nicholas Penny, 64, presided over its most successful exhibition in history – of Leonardo Da Vinci's works – but has announced he is retiring to spend more time with his family and his books.
He thanked the gallery's supporters for helping to ensure it prospered, “despite a steadily declining grant - to flourish both as a great and popular resource and as a home for scholarship, a national gallery admired internationally”.
He added: “Following my retirement I have many plans, but chiefly look forward to spending more time with my family, friends and books.”
Under his leadership, the National Gallery has been visited by a record-breaking six million people a year.
Nicholas Penny speaks in front of 'The Angel appears to Hagal and Ishmael' painted by Guercino Dr Penny previously worked in the gallery’s Renaissance Painting section and also spent several years at the US National Gallery of Art in Washington.
He began his career as a history of art lecturer at the University of Manchester and his first museum position was at the Ashmolean in Oxford.
Dr Penny has since written several books and articles on painting and sculpture, as well as the history of collecting.
He took his post at the National Gallery in February 2008.
The museum in Trafalgar Square, London, offers free access to the national collection of paintings in the Western European tradition from the 13th to 19th centuries.
Dr Penny’s retirement comes days after Sandy Nairne announced that he was leaving his post as head of the National Portrait Gallery.
A successor, who will be appointed by trustees with the approval of the Prime Minister, has not yet been installed.

Are sternal wires safe in an MRI?
Some of these are not MR compatible. Wires in the Chest from Heart Surgery – Although sternal wires are no problem during an MRI scan, sometimes cardiac pacing wires are left in place after heart bypass surgery.
Although most surgical staples are made of titanium, stainless steel is more often used in some skin staples and clips. Titanium produces less reaction with the immune system and, being non-ferrous, does not interfere significantly with MRI scanners, although some imaging artifacts may result.
- Staples are considered faster and easier to use than sutures. However, there is suggestion that staples are more likely to cause infection and may also be more expensive. For hip surgery only, the risk of developing a wound infection was four times greater after staple closure than suture closure.
- Depending on the condition of the healed incision, use saline, an antiseptic such as alcohol, or sterile swabs to remove any debris or dried fluids from the wound. Slide the lower part of a staple remover under the middle of the staple. Begin at one end of the healed incision.
- The skin stapler is a sterile, single patient use instrument designed to deliver rectangular, stainless steel staples for routine wound closure.
Fasting – before undergoing a pelvic or abdominal MRI scan, you will be advised not to eat or drink for at least five hours before the procedure. In most other cases, it is usually not necessary to avoid food or drink prior to the scan. However, be advised by your doctor.
- The radiologist compares the size and distributions of these bright and dark areas to determine whether a tissue is healthy. Head and neck (Fig. 1). MRI can be used to detect brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, developmental anomalies, multiple sclerosis, stroke, dementia, infection, and the causes of headache.
- Unlike CT scans, which use X-rays, MRI scans use powerful magnetic fields and radio frequency pulses to produce detailed pictures of organs, soft tissues, bone and other internal body structures. Differences between normal and abnormal tissue is often clearer on an MRI image than a CT.
- MRI for colorectal cancer. A pelvic MRI may help doctors stage rectal cancer. MRIs use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce exceptionally detailed images. These tests also allow for greater soft-tissue contrast than a CT scan.
However, there are some instances where an MRI scan may not be recommended, because the strong magnets used during the scan can affect any metal implants or fragments in your body. Before having an MRI scan, you should tell medical staff if: you think you have any metal in your body.
- Today, most metal implants, including orthopedic prostheses and dental implants, are made with MRI-safe metals such as titanium. While all of these implants can distort the MRI image if near the body part being scanned, they will usually do not cause problems that an experienced technician can't overcome.
- MRI complications. There have been reports of people with tattoos or permanent makeup who experienced swelling or burning in the affected areas when they underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Instead of avoiding an MRI, individuals who have tattoos or permanent makeup should inform the radiologist or technician.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your exam. You may be given a gown to wear during the scan. Metal objects including jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures and hairpins may affect the CT images and should be left at home or removed prior to your exam.

The PI 87 SEM PicoIndenter is a depth-sensing indenter that can be interfaced with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or FIB/SEM. This system will perform quantitative nanomechanical testing while simultaneously imaging with the SEM. Furthermore, sample positioning with five degrees of freedom (X, Y, Z, rotation, and tilt) gives the user the freedom to align the sample with an ion beam for sample prep/modification or various detectors for advanced analysis.
This system is specifically designed for the SEM, with a vacuum-compatible transducer and an electrically conductive probe. With Hysitron's patented capacitive transducer technology, force is applied electrostatically and displacement is measured capacitively. This low-current design provides low thermal drift and industry-leading stability and sensitivity.
The advanced positioning capabilities of the PI 87 enable an unprecedented level of flexibility inside the SEM. Specifically, the tilt and rotation stages ensure that additional detectors (EBSD, EDS, etc.) are effortlessly within reach for advanced analysis before, during, or after the mechanical test. Though seamless pre- and post-test EBSD mapping, researchers can correlate the applied stress with changes in crystal orientation. Through a simple 90° tilt, the sample can also be aimed directly at the e-beam for top-down imaging. All this is accomplished without ever breaking vacuum and exposing the sample to atmosphere, which can be critical in avoiding the oxidation of certain materials. This enhanced flexibility also drastically reduces analysis time as compared to conventional means, saving valuable time on the microscope.
