A Foundation for Beautiful Thinking
Designs inspired by Nature have been around as long as we have. After all, what’s more beautiful and inspiring than nature itself? There’s even a term for our innate affinity to nature - biophilia. And design that incorporates natural elements – biophilic design – fosters the kind of creativity and beautiful thinking that move the world. At Interface the connection between Nature and people is literally and figuratively woven into every square and plank of carpet we produce.
In 1994, Ray had his legendary “spear in the chest” epiphany. He shook the foundations of the petroleum-intensive carpet manufacturing industry by declaring that Interface was committed to becoming the world’s first environmentally sustainable—and, ultimately, restorative—company.

With the modern casino player demanding a little more bang for their entertainment buck, we take a look at how Spribe’s flagship Turbo Game has managed to rule the skies at online casinos worldwide.
If you’ve been keeping up with the current trends in online casinos, you’ll no doubt be aware that these days, players require a bit more than new iterations of the same tried and tested bonus features to hold their attention. While online video slots still account for a huge share of the market, it’s hard to ignore the growing popularity of Turbo Games and the unique gameplay elements that they provide.
One software provider that’s all too aware of this fact is Spribe, who have made it their mission to disrupt the online casino industry by providing a user experience quite unlike any other. Best known for their popular “Crash” game, Aviator, the studio has enjoyed unprecedented success in recent months, with the game now ranking as the top-grossing title on a number of leading platforms.
Indeed, thanks to the increasing demand for Turbo Games among newer casino audiences, Aviator recently hit a major milestone by boasting 5 million monthly active players worldwide. This impressive landmark was hit due to a combination of factors – most notably the game’s simple yet intuitive mechanic and the built-in social features that have seen it build up a dedicated community following.
Each betting round in Aviator follows a relatively straightforward premise. Players are asked to select their stake and watch as a virtual plane takes flight. As the plane travels, a prize multiplier steadily increases, but if it flies away entirely, the round is over and the bet is lost. As such, the skill in Aviator lies in players balancing risk versus reward and picking the perfect moment to cash out their winnings.
With this giving them far more control over the outcome of each betting round than they’d have on a traditional video slot, this interactive element means the game has particular appeal to the Millennial/Generation Y audience, most of whom have encountered similar mechanics in the mobile games they’ve grown up playing.
This, coupled with an in-game live chat option that lets them interact with one another and share wins, has seen Aviator really strike a chord with the modern casino player. Another important aspect of Aviator’s rapid rise to prominence is the game’s lightweight build and immense scalability. Designed with an intuitive UI that’s perfect for mobile, the game is capable of handling in excess of 2,000 bets each round, making it ideal for casinos that experience a high volume of traffic at peak times.
The game’s fast-paced nature also gives it widespread appeal, with players able to enjoy multiple rounds in each hour of their session or simply log on for a quick couple of flights.
Currently live at a range of online casinos across the U.K., Europe, South America and Africa – and with many more on the roadmap for Q4 2022 and beyond – it looks like a safe bet that Aviator will continue to build on this huge number of monthly active users in future. If that proves to be the case, it won’t be long before the iconic virtual plane leaves the skies entirely and plots a course for the stars instead.

Eco Protesters Flood Downtown Sofia over Court Ruling
Some 100 environmentalists gathered spontaneously in the downtown of the Bulgarian capital Sofia after the Supreme Administrative Court revoked a ban on new ski tracks in the Vitosha Mountain.
The eco-activists gathered around the Monument of Patriarch Evtimiy in the very downtown blockading briefly the traffic on the Partiarch Evtimuy Blvd, Vasil Levski Blvd, and Graf Ignatiev Str.
The representatives of environmental NGOs and the “For the Nature” coalition protested against the ruling of the Supreme Administrative Court announced Friday night to revoke the decision of Environment Minister, Nona Karadzhova, related to the project to build a new ski zone in the Vitosha Mountain near Sofia.
In October 2009, Karadzhova annulled the positive assessment the expert council at the Regional Inspectorate for Environment and Waters (RIOSV) which gave green light to the company “Vitosha Ski” to build new ski tracks and tourist facilities in the mountain.
The environmentalists sought to alert the public that Bulgaria might face an infringement procedure by the European Commission.
The impromptu protest was contained by the police and the traffic in downtown Sofia was restored shortly after that.

The man arrested by German police on suspicion of having perpetrated the truck attack which killed twelve people in Berlin has been released due to lack of evidence.
Naved B, a 23-year-old asylum seeker from Pakistan, was arrested after he was seen leaving the scene after the attack. However, according to local German media, police quickly became convinced that Naved was not the person they were after. Reportedly Naved had no blood on his person, despite the fact the truck cab was covered in blood.
According to authorities, the man denied all involvement and cursory investigation “did not result in an urgent grounds for suspicion.”
As a result, the driver is thought to still be at large, and police are still searching. Holger Münch, the head of the federal criminal police, said that the nation needed to be on high alert. “We need to work on the assumption that an armed perpetrator is still on the loose. As a result of this we are on high alert.”
The Federal Prosecutor’s office issued a statement about the release of the first suspect:
The accused man who had been temporarily arrested after the attack on the Berlin Christmas market on 19 December 2016 was released in the evening on the orders of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. The investigations so far did not result in an urgent grounds for suspicion. He made extensive statements in a police hearing but denied involvement. A complete tracking of the truck driver after the attack has not been done by eye witnesses. The criminal investigations carried out so far have not been able to prove a presence of the accused during the incident in the truck.
Earlier, the Brandenberg Gate lit up with the flag of Germany in commemoration of those who were killed in the attack.

Before I make another wish list of things

I’d never heard of the center or the event. In its 14th year, the tour visits upscale and historic homes in South Boston. Money raised is for the Labouré Center, a Catholic charity serving the Boston area’s needy.
As the interview continued, my interest grew. I was hooked. But I was driving.
If your corporate communicator is interviewed on the radio, it’s reasonable to expect a significant percentage of the audience is behind the wheel. If he’s talking on TV, you should anticipate the audience isn’t simultaneously online.
Not to worry, though, Robinson provided listeners with a Web site address. Here’s how it sounded: “W-w-w dot c-c-a-b dot org slash la-bore-ray.”
Hey! I’m driving!
As the interview progressed, I pulled over and jotted down the information as best I could. I wouldn’t ordinarily take such an action, but in the instant Robinson stated the URL, it dawned on me: She wasn’t losing her audience, her audience was losing her — literally!
Listeners won’t remember an URL. It’s a group of meaningless letters and a file extension. The words are hard to spell. She didn’t spell out “labouré.” Even if she had, most of the audience probably wouldn’t have remembered unless they wrote it down right then and there.
There’s a new, immutable corporate communications law in this age of search:
Interested listeners who don’t remember exactly what you say will search for it in a major search engine.
Excited by my revelation, I raced into the office. I repeated the interview highlights to our company receptionist. I asked her to conduct a search, right there, to find enough information about the tour so I could attend.
First she searched “laboret.” Search engine response: 10,900 matching documents. Site not found.
Next, she searched “laborette.” Response: 827 matching documents. Site not found.
Then, she searched for “laborette center 14th annual.” Response: 63 matching documents. No site.
Next, “laborette 14th annual south boston.” Still nothing.
Then, “laborette center south boston.” Four matches. Still no site.
Finally, she gave up.
When you speak, you string words into sentences. Keywords. In search engine marketing (SEM) terms, you communicate snippets of information, concepts contained in keywords and keyword phrases.
These bits of information are turned into pictures and stored in the audience’s memory. Later, after memory degrades somewhat, they’ll seek that information by searching for it on a major search engine.
Trouble is, they can’t put a picture into the search box. They can only use words.
What words do you use when talking to the press about your business or product? Have you tried searching for them? Do you come up, or does a competitor?
Corporate communications, whether PR or advertising, drives keyword search behavior. Keywords used in both should therefore be intentional and consistent with SEM efforts.
Smart marketers know they can be very intentional in this regard. By using one keyword phrase to describe a product or market, they produce one set of search results (hopefully one they’ll be on top of). By using another keyword phrase, the audience either will find nothing useful and give up, or find a competitor.
(Sometimes, this works in reverse. Keyword query behavior appears on your Web site’s log files, and you discover a keyword you weren’t targeting, but should. More on that in a future column.)
That said, have you done the following?
- Circulated a list of SEM keyword targets to other departments?
- Briefed corporate spokespeople on which keywords and keyword phrases they should drop in interviews, and which they should avoid?
- Intentionally constricted print, radio, and TV ads to contain keywords consistent with your SEM campaign to drive the right search behavior?

Salma Hayek, 55, congratulated Will Smith and other winners at Sunday’s Oscars in a new Instagram post. The House Of Gucci star penned a message, which shared her support for Will following his Best Actor win, despite the controversy surrounding him slapping Chris Rock.
Salma shared a series of photographs to her 20.8m followers, including a candid shot of her and Will at the ShoWest Awards in 1999.
She also added a snap of her and Samuel L. Jackson, who won the Academy Honorary Governor’s Award, from when they starred in Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard last year.
The Frida actress also commended Best Director winner Jane Campion, and Chloe Zhao, who took the prize home last year.
Alongside the photographs, Salma wrote: “Two of my favourite co-stars went home with Oscars last night.
READ MORE:Michaela Strachan on hiding cancer diagnosis
“Congratulations on your amazing work @willsmith and @samuelljackson.
“And also two women have won Best Director two years in a row. Congratulations @janecampion @chloezhao.”
However, some fans were “disappointed” with Salma’s post and took to the comments to share their anger.
Martha fumed: “Wow! Didn’t expect that from you! Very disappointed!”
Mike wrote: “I appreciate you focusing on the positives.”
And Rani added: “Yes congratulations to them all.”
Express.co.uk has contacted Salma’s representatives for comment.
Will has since issued an apology to Chris Rock saying he “deeply regrets” his behaviour.
In a statement to his 61.7m Instagram followers, he wrote: “My behaviour at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable.
“Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally.
“I would like to publicly apologise to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong.”
The controversial incident saw Will march on stage after Chris made a joke about Jada’s shaved head.
He then appeared to slap Chris in the face, before shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth,” once he returned to his seat.
The Academy also said it “condemns the actions of Mr Smith” and has “officially started a formal review”.

About 70 miles northwest of Fort Laramie, the Oregon Trail crossed La Prele Creek, flowing north from the Laramie Range toward the North Platte River a few miles away. On a high bluff above the creek mouth the U.S. Army in 1867 would build Fort Fetterman, which became an important supply base in the wars with the Cheyenne and Lakota Sioux in the following decade.

As proven in spectacular fashion by both Bungie and Ubisoft with Destiny and The Division respectively, shared open worlds are a hot property right now. Both aforementioned titles – the former in particular – boast a huge number of regular players that log into both worlds on a daily basis to explore, shoot and loot their way to victory alongside a group of other like-minded players. BioWare, it seems, is about ready to take advantage of the popular formula with its own foray into the genre.
We’ve been hearing for a while now that EA desires to have its own competitor in the market, and it looks like Anthem is it. The brand new IP, which is in development at BioWare – specifically, the same folks responsible for the original Mass Effect trilogy – was first teased last week at EA Play, with a gameplay debut promised for Microsoft’s own presser over the weekend.
In the conference’s closing moments, EA delivered on its promise, proudly presenting the first gameplay footage of Anthem and what it’s all about. If you’ve yet to give it a watch, we strongly suggest you do so immediately via the video above before reading on, as no amount of words can do Anthem‘s beauty justice.
The demo, which was shown running on Microsoft’s newly-christened Xbox One X, casts players in the role of a Freelancer, heroes who leave the safety of human settlements to “explore the unknown and protect humanity.” While the premise may sound familiar, Anthem‘s gameplay looks anything but, with lush forests and sprawling underwater chasms ripe for exploration.
Danger awaits within the densely-packed world, however, and you’ll need to fight with others to survive out in the wild. Thankfully, you’ll have fully customizable exo-suits at your disposal while exploring which, while armed to the teeth with weaponry, also endow your avatar with the power of flight and other superhuman qualities.
So, when can you expect to experience all of this for yourselves? Sadly, EA isn’t quite ready to share a specific release date, but a Fall 2018 window is currently being targeted for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Fingers crossed BioWare can stick to the schedule, because we can’t wait to play Anthem.

The 2013-14 Audi FIS Alpine World Cup opened the New Year on Sunday at Bormio, Italy, where U.S. gate ace Mikaela Shiffrin didn’t miss a beat in the aftermath of Christmas.
Reigning World Championship and World Cup slalom queen Shiffrin, 18, of Eagle-Vail, Colo. captured her sixth career World Cup slalom victory by a .13-second margin over Maria Pietilae-Holmner, 27, of Sweden.
Shiffrin sliced through sloppy snow and rain to win the Bormio slalom for her third straight World Cup top-three finish.
The sixth World Cup slalom victory of her young career and came just 33 days before the start of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games at Sochi, Russia. The U.S. Olympic alpine team will be named Jan. 26.
Leading by a slim .03 seconds after the first run, Shiffrin powered through the rutted snow to hold off a hard-charging Pietilae-Holmner of Sweden by .13 and stretch her World Cup slalom points lead to 62 points over Austrian Marlies Schild, 32, who finished sixth Sunday.
Shiffrin now holds a 302-240 edge over Schild in the slalom standings after four events. Each of the top contenders has won twice—Shiffrin at Levi, Finland and on Sunday at Bormio, and Schild at Courchevel, Fra. and Lienz, Aust.
The Colorado teen sensation has now captured 13 World Cup podiums to make her the youngest alpine skier in U.S. history to do so. She is second on the slalom all-time list among U.S. women, trailing only Tamara McKinney, who has nine.
In a press release from the U.S. Ski Team, Shiffrin said after Sunday’s win, “It’s always good to keep success going. I’m used to skiing in this kind of conditions because in the East Coast it’s like this a lot. I just kind of get tough and go.
“It was definitely a fight. I was really psyched to win again. It’s been a fight all season and I feel like if I’m not perfectly ready then the win goes to somebody else. So I was really trying to prepare myself to be ready to go today no matter what the conditions or the visibility.
“In the conditions, it’s just making the least amount of mistakes, and I walked away with the win. I’m very excited with how my season is going right now and I think I can do better too, so we’ll just have to keep working on it.
“There’s been a lot of stories about the Mikaela and Marlies battle and it’s exciting. That kind of a battle creates a really great story for the athletes as well.”
Germany’s Maria Hoefl-Riesch, 29, failed to finish the second run of Sunday’s slalom but still maintained her slim overall World Cup lead 611-609 over Tina Weirather, 24, of Liechtenstein. Austria’s Anna Fenninger is third with 597 points and Swiss racer Lara Gut fourth, 568.
Shiffrin improved to 514 points in the overall for fifth place—well over halfway to the 822 points she achieved last winter en route to fifth place in the overall standings.
Crested Butte skier leads U.S.
David Chodounsky, 29, of Crested Butte, Co. tied for 15th place to lead the U.S. Ski Team in an Alpine World Cup slalom Monday evening at Bormio.
The race, originally scheduled for Zagreb, Croatia, was hosted with a night final on the lower portion of the famed Stelvio downhill.
German Felix Neureuther, 29, captured the 51,000 Euro victory over Austrian Marcel Hirscher, 24.
American champion Ted Ligety, 29, of Park City slipped onto his left hip on the flattest part of the course before recovering to finish 27th.
It was the first of four Audi FIS Alpine World Cup slaloms to be held in advance of the Jan. 26 announcement of the U.S. Olympic Team for alpine skiing.
Chodounsky, 20th after the first run, entered the race after posting a career best seventh in the Val d'Isere, France World Cup slalom.
The men's tour now moves to Adelboden, Switz. for the 58th year of racing on the famed Chuenisbaergli where Ligety is the defending giant slalom champion.
At Bormio, two-time defending World Cup overall king Hirscher cut into the overall lead of Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal, 31.
Svindal still leads the overall race 630-515 over Hirscher. Ligety is third with 333 points and Bode Miller remains in eighth with 230.

Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 28 November 2016-Haiti's Ministry of Health (MSPP) is nearing completion of its vaccination campaign against cholera, having reached more than 729,000 people with vaccines in Sud and Grand Anse departments, areas ravaged by Hurricane Matthew.
With support from the Pan American Health Organization / World Health Organization (PAHO / WHO) and other partners, vaccination teams fanned out across the two departments starting Nov. 8, aiming to reduce the burden of cholera cases by immunizing people in 16 different communes where cholera cases had been reported and where water and sanitation systems were damaged.
Ministry of Health early reports show that vaccination coverage reached 94 percent in Grande Anse and 90 percent in Sud Department, but the communes of Moron (Grande Anse), Port-a-Piment, and Chardonnieres (Sud) had lower than average coverage. In some areas teams were hampered by difficult access as roads were cut by the hurricane, and populations were displaced, said PAHO-WHO Representative Dr. Jean-Luc Poncelet. Ministry of Health officials are now collecting data and consolidating results, while looking for pockets of unvaccinated people in the communes.
Epidemiologists and immunization experts were mobilized to support the campaign, which was carried out with 1 million doses of oral cholera vaccine provided by GAVI through the Global Task Force for Cholera Control. The International Medical Corps (IMC), CDC, UNICEF, WFP, PIH, Gheskio, and other vaccination partners supported the Ministry in the campaign, with social mobilization and logistics, including cold chain to keep vaccines potent, and transport and support for vaccination brigades.
Haiti's Minister of Public Health, Dr. Daphne Benoit, noted when the campaign began that "The vaccine is an additional intervention which will help us to save lives, but does not replace the efforts that the government supports in the field of water and sanitation." Poncelet stressed the importance for all partners to join forces in assisting the Ministry for the Ministry of Health to "work together and with partners to build local capacity for clinical management of cases in the cholera treatment centers."
Since Hurricane Matthew struck Haiti October 4, more than 5,800 suspected cholera cases have been reported by the Ministry of Health, while the population in need of humanitarian assistance remains at 1.4 million, and more than 175,000 people are still in shelters, according to PAHO's latest situation report. Increases in suspected malaria cases have been observed in Grand Ánse and Sud both Departments, and Haiti's National program for Malaria Control began fumigation and destruction of mosquito breeding sites.
Haiti still needs humanitarian assistance for rural areas, rehabilitation of health facilities, household access to chlorinated water and community health workers especially for areas with non-functional facilities, Poncelet said.

GREENSBORO — Mayor Nancy Vaughan and Guilford County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin “Skip” Alston are heading to Washington to discuss how American Rescue Plan Act funding has helped local residents, according to a news release from the city of Greensboro.
Vaughan and Alston will join other North Carolina leaders for the “Communities in Action: Building a Better North Carolina” event Thursday at the White House. The event is the second in a series hosted by the White House to discuss how the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS and Science Act are benefiting North Carolinians, the release said.
“The City of Greensboro is using funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to provide affordable housing to those most in need, including disabled veterans,” Vaughan said in the release. “Furthermore, minority-and women-owned businesses will be able to expand and major City projects are moving forward. Many of our residents avoided evictions or foreclosures, giving them peace of mind, thanks to this critical funding.”

Alston echoed Vaughan's positive comments about the $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by Congress in 2021.
“The American Rescue Plan Act funding is helping us address a broad range of issues in our community, including many long existing inequities laid bare by the pandemic,” Alston said in the release. “From improving health and protecting our seniors and children to life/safety improvements and multi-functional community centers and parks, the investments made today will deliver jobs, economic opportunity, and improved quality of life for all Guilford County residents well into the future.”
The city of Greensboro received $59.4 million in ARPA money. The city has spent ARPA grant funds for housing, public safety, parks and recreation and other government services. Learn more about the city’s ARPA funding at www.greensboro-nc.gov/ARP.
The city also received $2 million from the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act to help residents whose household was financially affected by COVID-19. This money was used to pay rent and utilities or make overdue mortgage payments.
Guilford County received $104.3 million in ARPA money. The county has allocated nearly $67 million in ARPA funds: $49 million directly to municipalities for increased access to reliable water systems, fire prevention, community centers, parks, sidewalks and accessible playgrounds; and $18 million to support county-led programs to reduce infant mortality rates, improve access to grow and buy healthy food, identify and address inequities in health, protect and care for seniors and children who experience abuse, and double the number of licensed foster homes.
The county, along with the city, UNCG and Legal Aid North Carolina also spent money to prevent homelessness for families and individuals facing eviction by providing eviction mediation support and education.
County commissioners are holding regular work sessions to review proposals and allocate the remaining $37.4 million in ARPA funds. Learn more about the county’s ARPA program and view the ARPA dashboard on the county’s website.
The ARPA funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026.


Bug Profile: Japanese Beetles
About two weeks ago, we started noticing copper and emerald droplets all around our farm. They congregated mostly densely on the asparagus, mainly in twos, and when touched, flew away, though not far.
Japanese Beetles, a handsome and destructive bug, is expected to visit Northeastern gardens in July, and this year, showed up in ours exactly on schedule. The beetles, as the name suggests, hail originally from Japan, where they have natural predators and aren’t a huge threat to cultivated plants. However, having hitched a ride across the ocean on the backs of some iris bulbs (bound for the 1916 World Fair), the beetles found a vast land empty of predators and full of gardens. Over the course of the last century, the beetles have been found to have an appetite for over 200 cultivated ornamentals and edibles.
Gardening resources unanimously describe the damage caused by Japanese Beetles as “skeletorizing” – a terrifying, yet accurate, visual for any home gardener. The beetles eat a plant’s soft foliage, leaving only stems and veins to blow sadly in the wind. The beetles also munch on the flowers and fruit of a diverse range of plants. Corn, tomatoes, and beans are among their top favorites. The danger of the damage they inflict is not just physical destruction but opening access points for disease to infect already weakened plants.
The beetles are only active during the day and can fly up to 5 miles. Communicating via pheromones, Japanese beetles can sense when other beetles are nearby, mating and eating, and fly to join the group. They are also able to know when a choice damaged plant is close and will fly toward easy lunch. To control these tricky pests, we suggest:
Hand Pick: The best way to keep a Japanese Beetle population at bay is to pick them off by hand and smush or drown them in soapy water. This is best done early in the morning, when they are still sleepy… well, wet with dew and unable to fly quickly. Spread a cloth under the plant that the beetles have occupied, then shake onto the cloth, gather up, and dispose of. Then, cover the plant with row cover for continual protection. Hand-picking applies both to adult beetles and their larvae stage. Japanese Beetle larvae looks like grey to white grubs with brown heads, often crescent shaped, and commonly found living in (and feeding on) plant roots, with the roots of grasses their favorite delicacy.
Chickens and Starlings. If you share your yard with chickens, let them wander where Japanese Beetles are spotted: they will feed on adult beetles as well as underground larvae. Starlings will do the same – you can help them out by turning your soil in the fall and exposing the larvae for them to feast on.
Take care in heat and stillness. Japanese Beetles’ idea of perfect weather is 85 degrees and above and no wind (which is why they become active in the Northeast in July). When such conditions occur, keep in mind that new beetles might be on their way to your garden.
Skip the traps. Multiple studies have shown that the pheromone-filled traps are not effective. They actually attract more beetles into the garden than they are able to catch.

Well, at least we’re making some form of progress when it comes to the position.
Although it looks as if progress might be incredibly slow in the next couple of days according to reports. According to Alan Nixon at The Sun, the Blues are trying to bring in Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow, but it’s not going to be as straight forward as that, as they apparently need to wait for Steve Bruce to get his things in order before Darlow will be allowed to leave.
Darlow has got plenty of experience in this division, both with the aforementioned Geordies as well as Nottingham Forest, and at the age of 29 he’d be able to give us a few good years of service, as opposed to when we signed Lee Camp when he was 33, and it’s a combination of those factors that make me think Darlow is arguably the perfect signing for us to be making.
We’re not bringing in a youngster who is still learning the ropes and could be viable to make more mistakes than normal, nor would we be bringing in someone who is on the downswing of their career (which is what put me off Joe Hart when he became a free agent).
How many goalkeepers will Blues sign this summer?
My one concern about the whole thing though will be the time constraints. It’s good to see that signings are starting to come through the door as Blues announced the George Friend deal at the weekend, but as I’ve said before, the sooner that we can get someone in place, the better.
And if we have to keep waiting on other clubs to get our business done, we could be missing out on other good players (like when Wes Foderingham joined Sheffield United after he was linked with us a few months ago).
What about you? What do you make of this news regarding Darlow?

MELBOURNE (REUTERS) - Opening batswomen Alyssa Healy and Beth Mooney scored glittering half-centuries as a ruthless Australia crushed India by 85 runs to win a record-extending fifth Women's Twenty20 World Cup in front of a heaving Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
The explosive Healy blasted a 39-ball 75 and pillaged five sixes from India's hapless bowlers while Mooney finished with an unbeaten 78 from 54 balls, driving the defending champions to an imposing total of 184 for four.
Having dropped both the Australian openers when they were on single figures in a dismal fielding display, a shell-shocked India later crumbled under the floodlights to be out for 99 after 19.1 overs.
Megan Schutt claimed the final wicket of tail-ender Poonam Yadav, with Ash Gardner scrambling forward from the mid-wicket boundary to catch an attempted slog and send home fans in the crowd of 86,174 into a frenzy.
Blighted by injuries, Australia had to grind through a slew of do-or-die matches to reach the decider after losing their tournament opener to India.
Yet shorn of talismanic all-rounder Ellyse Perry and front-line fast bowler Tayla Vlaeminck, Meg Lanning's side produced their best performance of the tournament in the match that counted.
For India, who lost the one-day World Cup final to England at Lord's three years ago, their wait for a maiden global trophy in women's cricket will go on.
They will rue a nervous start at the MCG, where opening bowler Deepti Sharma sent down three full tosses and was plundered for 14 runs in the first over.
The 16-year-old opener Shafali Verma's dream tournament ended in huge disappointment, when she dropped Healy at cover on nine runs and was later caught behind for two by the wicketkeeper-batsman.
Rajeshwari Gayakwad put down a caught and bowled chance that would have dismissed Mooney for eight and the openers went on to produce a 115-run stand that set the platform for victory.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s insurance consumer help line is often the first resort for homeowners looking for help battling their insurance company.
If they can reach it, that is. It’s only open three hours a day.
For months, callers to the help line (877-MY-FL-CFO) on any afternoon have been greeted with a recorded message: “In order to better serve all of our customers, our updated insurance help line hours are 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.”
The cutbacks to the call line, which used to operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., are the product of a surge in complaints against property insurance companies since Hurricane Ian and staffing shortages at the Department of Financial Services.
State lawmakers are aware of the shortage and could assign more money this year to the Department of Financial Services, led by the state’s elected chief financial officer, Jimmy Patronis.
The toll-free insurance consumer help line has been in existence for decades and is enshrined in state law under the Homeowner Claims Bill of Rights. Under state law, insurers are required to inform homeowners of the Bill of Rights, including the hotline, within 14 days of receiving a claim. The help line also takes calls about other types of insurance.
Floridians can call the help line to make a complaint against their insurer, resolve an insurance dispute or ask questions about their rights as an insurance customer. Between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, the help line answered 222,249 calls, or more than 600 per day, department records show.
About one-third of complaints against insurance companies come from the help line, the department’s director of consumer services, Greg Thomas, told a Senate committee on Wednesday. The rest come through the state’s website.
More than half of the positions to take calls and handle insurance complaints are vacant, Thomas said. And after Hurricane Ian hit the state in September, the office was “inundated” with complaints against insurers, he said. The “vast majority” have been over claim-handling delays.
That combination caused the office to cut back the hours the help line would be available.
“We had a choice either to not deal with complaints that we have received or to continue to answer calls all day long,” Thomas said.
Democratic lawmakers said limiting the hotline to just three hours doesn’t even allow working Floridians to call during their lunch breaks.
“We can’t have a part-time insurance consumer hotline when we have a full-time property insurance crisis in Florida,” Rep. Hillary Cassel, D-Dania Beach, said in a statement. Cassel’s law practice represents residential and commercial policyholders in property claims against their insurance carriers.

Cassel also questioned the priorities of Patronis, a restaurateur who has collected nearly $2 million in political contributions from insurance companies, executives and agents.
Patronis has encouraged lawmakers to change the laws to make it harder to sue insurance companies. Property insurers have blamed excessive lawsuits for Floridians’ high premiums, which are the highest in the nation at about $4,200.
The solution has not led to lower homeowners’ rates so far. This week, First Community Insurance Co. requested an overall 44.8% rate increase, Kin Insurance Network asked for an overall 61.5% rate increase and American Strategic Insurance Corp. and ASI Preferred Insurance Corp. are requesting near-20% rate increases. State-run Citizens Property Insurance approved an average 14.2% increase Wednesday.
In a news release Wednesday, Patronis said he was holding another “insurance village” in April for residents to meet with insurance representatives in Southwest Florida to help resolve outstanding Ian claims.
“My agency has been working overtime to help policyholders,” he said in a statement.
The chairperson for the Senate’s Banking and Insurance Committee, Sen. Jim Boyd, R-Bradenton, said he wanted to see the help line staffed up and quickly responding to consumers.
He also said he’s discussed teleworking options with the department. The department said Wednesday afternoon it allows the help line operators to telework “so long as they meet basic requirements.”
“It’s 2023. Lots of people are working from home,” said Boyd, who owns an insurance agency. “Would we not be better served as a state if we had the ability for people to work from home?”
The Department of Financial Services has recently added more staff to handle calls and complaints, Thomas said. That has allowed the help line to be open for new hours, starting Monday: 8 a.m. to noon.

DA report: Agri losses from Karding top P1B
MANILA, Philippines — Super Typhoon Karding (international name: Noru), which battered Luzon on Sunday and Monday, destroyed more than P1 billion worth of crops and other agricultural products, according to the Department of Agriculture (DA).
In an advisory, the DA reported that the agricultural losses as of Tuesday afternoon ballooned to P1.29 billion, covering 72,231 metric tons of produce planted in 141,312 hectares of land.
Karding, whose heavy rain flooded farms in Central Luzon, affected the livelihood of 82,158 farmers and fishers in the Cordillera, Ilocos, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) and Bicol regions.
“These values are subject to validation. The increase in overall damage and losses is due to additional reports on rice, corn, high-value crops, livestock and fisheries in all affected regions,” the DA said.
Among the agricultural subsectors, the rice sector was the worst hit, incurring damage amounting to P959.8 million, spanning 138,843 ha and the volume of production loss pegged at 63,115 MT. It accounts for 74.45 percent of the total losses.
Agriculture Undersecretary-designate for Consumer and Political Affairs Kristine Evangelista said they were assessing how the damage sustained by the rice sector would affect the country’s rice self-sufficiency level.
“We are coordinating with them how 6,000 metric tons will affect the sufficiency, not only the supply, but more importantly, the volume of rice that arrives in Metro Manila considering that Central Luzon was affected, which is our main source of vegetables and rice,” Evangelista said.
Meanwhile, Nueva Ecija province, the town of Dingalan in Aurora province, and portions of Quezon province were declared under a state of calamity following the massive destruction wrought by Karding on farms and property in these areas.
In an emergency session on Monday, the Nueva Ecija provincial board passed a resolution for the declaration, citing the extent of damage to agriculture and infrastructure.
The declaration would allow local officials to use the province’s calamity fund and hasten the delivery of assistance to the affected residents. While under a state of calamity, a price freeze would be imposed on basic commodities.
“The provincial government’s priority is the victims of the agricultural sector, destroyed homes and the immediate restoration of electricity supply,” Gov. Aurelio Umali said in a statement.
In Aurora, the municipal council of Dingalan placed the town under a state of calamity after Karding destroyed 589 houses and 245 fishing boats.
In Quezon, Vice Gov. Anacleto Alcala III said the provincial board, acting on the letter of Gov. Angelina Tan, declared a state of calamity in the towns of Polillo, Burdeos, Panukulan, Patnanungan, Jomalig and General Nakar.
These towns were among the worst hit by the typhoon in northern Quezon facing the Pacific Ocean.
Alcala said the declaration would speed up rescue, relief and rehabilitation efforts, and would be an effective mechanism to control the prices of goods in disaster-stricken areas.

text: Today we met in the lobby at 9 to start off an exciting day. We walked a few blocks from our hotel to board the Skytrain, Bangkok’s version of the above-ground subway. It was a struggle to keep all 23 of us together while boarding and un-boarding, but with some pushing and shoving, we made it to our stop. We went in to our next mode of transportation, a long tail canal boat! We got the chance to see some ancient boats in the Royal Barge Museum. The barges were covered in precious jewels and metals. One of our Thai translators explained that the royalty would sit in the middle covered section of the barge while a special guard would row him from place to place. This still happens occasionally for special events in Thailand! We stopped to get a quick snack and I tried some seaweed flavored Lays chips. Some of the other flavors included lobster, crab and the strangest in my opinion, barbecue cheese! We got back on our boat to get some lunch of traditional Pad Thai. Instead of having bits of eggs, the whole dish came wrapped in an egg almost like a Pad Thai omelet. We got the chance to explore the market near our lunch locale before we headed to the Grand Palace. We all struggled to make the dress code cut at the Grand Palace, where they are very strict about respectful attire. Some of us rented pants which had fun designs on them to wear during our visit. When we finally were allowed inside, it felt like we had entered into another world. Every inch of the palace was covered in silver, gold and precious stones. We donated to the palace and received a piece of gold lead. This we put on the Buddha for good luck. We had the option of placing it in on his head for knowledge, the mouth for nourishment, hands for fortune, etc. The only downfall was the heat… While all of us were covered in clothing from head to toe, we were suffocating in the rainy season humidity. From the palace we boarded the ferry to head back to the hotel. That’s when the rain started! A downpour soaked us all, even though the boat was covered! We were all soaked and giggling by the time we reached the Skytrain. Although we were all tired from the heat and braving the rain, I was still excited for a great part of the day… shopping! Our next stop was the Siam Center, the best shopping in Bangkok according to our Thai translators. It consists of a cluster of shopping malls with small Thai markets in between. We had dinner there as well. Reagan and I shared sushi and tempura. We didn’t have a clue what was fried up on our plate but decided to try it all. Fortunately, we found it was all delicious! We took our last journey on the Skytrain and arrived back at our hotel. We gathered around to do out daily Squeeze and all shared our favorite places we have ever traveled to. We are all so lucky to be seeing so much of the world at our age, and tomorrow we will see even more!!P.S. I love and miss you Mom and Dad!! XOXO.

- Indications and contraindications
- Performance of technique
Indications and contraindications
Indications: Patients with head and neck pathology eg. malignancy and previous radiotherapy, who often have reduced mouth opening, limited neck extension, OSA, morbid obesity, and/or progressive airway compromise
Absolute contraindications: Patient refusal
Relative contraindications: Local anaesthetic allergy, airway bleeding, uncooperative patients
Ensure the patient is well informed about the reason for ATI, a walkthrough of your technique, the local anaesthetic including the fact that it tastes unpleasant, warn about cocaine effects if you’re using it, method of oxygenation, method of sedation, coughing and hoarse voice, Berman airway or other channel use, and going to sleep once intubation has been successful. Patient cooperation is key in successful ATIs.
It is important to inform them that you have alternative plans if it is unsuccessful and that you will have additional team members in the anaesthetic room/theatre with you and what their role is in keeping the patient safe.
This is all particularly important if the patient may need to come back for further procedures, as a bad experience may lead to loss of trust and patients having unpleasant traumatising memories of the procedure.
Patient leaflet from the Difficult Airway Society (DAS)
Video of one technique by DAS, for patient education:
People, places, and things is my go-to mnemonic.
People: Consented and cooperative patient, maxillofacial/ENT surgeons +/- scrubbed, experienced ODPs, 2 experienced anaesthetists especially if using fully awake technique, theatre staff with ENT packs ready if needed
Place: ENT theatre, ENT anaesthetic room, emergency theatre are all options – ideally somewhere safe that you are familiar with and can get help and other equipment quickly. Minimising cognitive burden of location can be very helpful.
High flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is the technique of choice for ATI techniques (and other parts of anaesthesia and critical care!)
There are a number of devices available, including a standard nasal cannula, adult high flow nasal cannula, the Fisher and Paykel Airvo 2 machine via the Optiflow interface (photo above), and Vapotherm precision 2000i high flow therapy (photo below).
This is a useful BJA article on HFNO in 2017 which explains HFNO to excellent detail.
The most commonly used device in Oxfordshire is the Airvo 2, and this is a manufacturer video of how it works:
The device can deliver 60L of 100% oxygen or oxygen and air mixture through a nasal cannula device for adults, children and tracheostomies. The gas delivered is warmed to 37 degrees and humidified to 98%- 100%.
The main benefit of HFNO in this particular setting of ATI is the oxygen reservoir preoxygenation and high FiO2, allowing us more time for airway instrumentation and rescue if the patient is oversedated and becomes apnoeic. Starting the case at 25-30L/min flows and gradually increasing if needed is more comfortable than starting immediately at 60L/min as the patient may not be used to so much CPAP. Oxygen can be titrated as required using the digital display or the rotameter on the machine, depending which machine you have. As with ordinary preoxygenation, a FiO2 close to 1 will give you the best chance of achieving CO2 washout and denitrogenation of the lungs and creating that safety reservoir of oxygen.
Apply it as soon as the patient is positioned on the bed and titrate the flows up to between 30-60L/min. The DAS guideline recommends up to 70L/min but this is not available on the Airvo system. There is no inbuilt capnography on the nasal device so if you are using sedation you have to be careful with respiratory depression – the best method is to monitor the patient clinically, or there are options to put capnography sensors on the side of the patient’s mouth with some tape (not always accurate).
ATI can be achieved with or without sedation. If sedation is used, the aim is for minimal sedation that does not affect the patient’s breathing or haemodynamics or ability to speak or respond normally to verbal instructions, and yet be deep enough that the patient is relaxed. If using sedation make sure you clearly state to the patient that they may remember some parts of the procedure and this is not accidental awareness under general anaesthesia. This is an excellent patient information leaflet from the RCoA on sedation that you might find useful.
Having a second anaesthetist to run the sedation and monitor the patient for respiratory depression and haemodynamic compromise is the safest approach if you are providing sedation. If you are not an expert, keep your technique ‘clean’ by using a single agent, such as remifentanil TCI and dexmedetomidine infusion if this is available. Propofol is familiar but is associated with a higher risk of coughing, airway obstruction and over-sedation than remifentanil (Grade A evidence on the DAS guideline). Midazolam is less titratable but reversible with flumazenil and is appropriate for use.
The following table are special circumstances that might make you decide against sedation or modify your technique.
|Factors that might lead you to avoid or minimise sedation||Patient group to consider||Modifications that can be made|
|Limited physiological reserve to tolerate adverse consequences of over-sedation including risk of aspiration, hypoxia, CVS instability||Critically ill, pregnancy, trauma, elderly||For foetal considerations, avoid propofol/fentanyl and alfentanil, warn the neonatologists|
|Risk of airway loss||Acute airway obstruction and stridor or severe trismus, craniofacial trauma|
It is incredibly important to properly topicalise the airway. If using sedation, start this before topicalisation as this can be uncomfortable.
Lidocaine is the safest drug and the maximum safe dose is 9mg/kg but this is rarely required. The total dose of all local anaesthetics administered, regardless of route (e.g. regional anaesthesia or surgical infiltration), must also be considered. The drug preparation crib sheet above gives you all the doses of the drugs used. The DAS guideline does not recommend cocaine as evidence shows that the high risk of cardiovascular disturbance is not outweighed by its analgesic efficacy compared to co-phenylcaine.
Sensory innervation of the airway – that old chestnut.
NYSORA’s page on regional anaesthesia for awake tracheal intubation is excellent and has all you need to know. Highlights from the page:
Sensation of nose: Septum and anterior parts of the nasal cavity are affected by the anterior ethmoidal nerve (a branch of the ophthalmic nerve). The rest of the nasal cavity is innervated by the greater and lesser palatine nerves (branches of the maxillary nerve).
Sensation of pharynx: Glossopharyngeal nerve
Sensation of oropharynx: Vagus, trigeminal and glossopharyngeal nerves. Anterior 2/3 of tongue = lingual nerve branch of trigeminal, posterior 1/3 tongue = tonsillar nerve branch of glossopharyngeal nerve. Posterior wall and lateral wall of pharynx = vagus.
Sensation of larynx: Vagus nerve: Above cords = internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve and below cords = recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Local anaesthetic blocks for airway instrumentation
3 types: glossopharyngeal nerve block, superior laryngeal nerve block and translaryngeal/cricothyroid block of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Check out the NYSORA page for a step by step, but the highlights for a viva station would be:
- Glossopharyngeal block: Easily blocked where it crosses the palatoglossal arch. Inadequate for awake fibreoptic but useful to block the gag reflex. Can be blocked with injection around nerve or gauze or pledgets soaked in LA in the palatoglossal arch for 5-10 minutes.
- Superior laryngeal nerve – blocked externally via landmarks (inferior lateral to cornu on hyoid bone on the side you are aiming to block) or with US guidance, risk of blocking only the internal superior laryngeal nerve or material puncture. Blocked internally with gauze or pledgets soaked in LA placed in the piriform fossae for 5-10 minutes.
- Recurrent laryngeal nerve block via the translaryngeal block through the cricothyroid membrane because you’ll cause bilateral vocal cord palsy and airway obstruction if you partially block the recurrent laryngeal nerves.
Cricothyroid puncture is interesting – it is the same technique for needle cricothyroidotomy. Use a 23G or 20G cannula with a syringe of 2-4% lidocaine (2-3ml), identify landmarks, clean the skin, aspirate as you go through the cricothyroid membrane, with air as the end point. Inject local anaesthetic on deep inspiration and this may induce violent coughing – warn the patient! It is a topicalisation technique but some use it as a rescue oxygenation technique.
NYSORA has done very clear photos of the blocks, samples below:
Local anaesthetic preparations
Methods of applying local anaesthetics
Nose and/or mouth:
- Spray nozzle
- Mucosal atomisation device
- McKenzie technique
- Cotton applicators (or nasal packs or gauze soaked with local anaesthetics)
- Nebulised lidocaine
- Gargling of 4ml 2% viscous lidocaine for 20-30 seconds then spitting out
Spray nozzle – directly from the bottle of local anaesthetic as pictured above. Asking the patient to sniff while spraying the nasopharynx can help with distribution of the local.
Mucosal atomisation device (MAD):
The McKenzie technique is a bit more Blue Peter and requires a 20G cannula attached to about 4L oxygen through oxygen bubble tubing via a 3 way tap and a 1ml syringe:
Nebulisers – 5ml of 4% lidocaine (200mg) can be delivered to a patient for 30 minutes via the nebuliser particularly if there is limited mouth opening. Note – there is up to 50% of drug loss as particles >100micrometers condense in mouth and pharynx. This is not as good a technique as atomisation with the MAD but useful if the patient has severe trismus.
Local anaesthetic soaked in gauze, cotton or nasal packs can also be used.
Larynx and/or trachea:
- Spray as you go technique
- MAD device
- Cricothyroid puncture
Spray as you go is via a syringe of lidocaine through the luer lock connector and an epidural catheter through the port of the intubating bronchoscope as below. Topicalise the epiglottis, vocal cords then trachea, with 2ml to each place of 2-4% lidocaine. Wait 1-2 minutes before moving to the next area.
A combination of techniques is usually used for topicalisation. For example, co-phenylcaine spray to the nose + spray as you go technique for oropharynx onward; or lidocaine spray to the mouth and MAD device. Calculate the doses of local anaesthetic used, for example:
- Cophenylcaine 5 sprays per nostril = 50mg
- 6ml 4% lidocaine from MAD device in the mouth = 240mg
- 6 ml 4% lidocaine ‘spray as you go’ = 240mg
- Total = 530mg (7.5mg/kg for a 70kg person)
Test topicalisation by suctioning gently with a soft suction catheter or Yankauer, ideally one with a rosebud tip to avoid damage to the mucosa (photo below). This has dual effect of testing your topicalisation and getting rid of your secretions!
Performance of technique
There are loads of things to think about with awake intubation – the best advice is practice! Here is a checklist to reduce your cognitive burden by DAS:
This is the DAS ergonomics outline for procedural set up depending if you are standing in front of (a) the patient or behind them (b). The idea from the figures are that the primary operator should be able to see the patient monitor, machine, video screen and have direct access to the pumps and equipment. The advantage of standing in front of the patient is that you can see the patient and monitor them directly, they can be sitting up to help reduce the risk of aspiration or reducing FRC or lung capacity. The advantage of standing behind the patient is that it is a far more familiar position for you and gives you the option of immediately using other techniques eg. laryngoscopy and tilting the trolley back in the event of aspiration.
Let’s talk a little about the scopes used.
The scopes are either:
- Fibreoptic or video scopes (differ on image transmission)
- Single use (eg. Ambu aScope) or reusable (Olympus LF-V or LF-GP)
Fibreoptic scopes = back to physics! The light source at the end of the tube is transmitted to the viewer at the top of the tube with the power of total internal reflection. Ordinarily, when light passes from a medium with one index of refraction to another with a lower index of refraction, it will refract away from the normal line.
However, if the angle of light is greater than a particular critical angle for that material, light will not refract away from the normal line, but will instead reflect back against itself – total internal reflection. In an optical fibre, there are 3 layers of material – a core, cladding and buffer coating. The core is the thin glass centre where the light travels, cladding is the outer optical material with a lower refractive index, and the buffer coating is the plastic coating that protects the fibre. the angle of light is always reflecting from the cladding no matter what angle the fibre itself gets bent at, and can travel great distances with very little signal degradation (there is some degradation from the impurities in glass). The light source is usually a battery powered one at the tip or a cable powered halogen or LED at the tip.
In videoscopes, there is a lens at the very tip of the scope and the camera chip is inside the distal end of the scope. The camera chip itself converts the image into digital signals so the rest of the scope does not require that fiberoptic component for image transmission. The light source may be fiberoptic from the top of the scope, but the image is not dependent on it. If you read St Vincent’s hospital guidelines on awake tracheal intubation, they explain the differences between the two in much more detail.
Many scopes apply fibre optic principles in some way, so any damage to the cladding or the core will lead to image degradation and therefore they are incredibly fragile and sensitive to damage and have to be kept very carefully to prevent this – repairs are super expensive! Make sure you properly lubricate the scope before using and don’t push it against resistance.
The Ambu aScope is an example of a videoscope with no fiberoptic component. It uses a camera sensor at the tip of the scope which is connected via electrical wiring to the video display. Most models used in Oxfordshire are disposable.
The finer techniques of how to manipulate the scope to perform bronchoscopy is outside the scope of this article, however St Vincent’s has a great description of step by step anatomy.
The earlier patient education video of ATI shows the video view also, but here’s a bit more detail with some top tips from a few American anaesthetists:
What if it fails?
The DAS guideline define an unsuccessful attempt as the unplanned removal of the flexible bronchoscope/videolaryngoscope or tracheal tube from the airway. They recommend minimising the number of attempts (3+1 similar to the standard difficult intubation guidelines) to 3 and have the final attempt by a more experienced operator which may include a surgeon. The following is their rescue guideline if ATI is unsuccessful.
What do we do once we’ve intubated?
It is now safe to anaesthetise your patient for the procedure. If using remifentanil + propofol TCI you can easily change this to a TIVA technique. If not, then perform a standard induction with your drugs of choice.
Note – extubation is going to require equally comprehensive planning and all the people, places and things that you needed initially. You might want to consider the following before extubation:
- Checking the view again for airway surgery – the direct laryngoscopy view may have improved (or not!) which will help you decide how to extubate and how to advise your colleagues for any subsequent airway management.
- Suction appropriately to avoid trauma to the airways
- All the kit required for intubation should be there for extubation
- Consider deep or awake extubation – including switching to a supraglottic airway
- Topical lidocaine has a dose dependent duration of analgesia for up to 40 minutes (although we say 2 hours as this is the terminal elimination half life) so patients should be nil by mouth for at least 2 hours post airway topicalisation for ATI.
- Document everything you’ve done clearly in the method that DAS recommended to perform the procedure: oxygenation, topicalisation, sedation, device and ETT used, approach (oral/nasal right, nasal left) number of attempts and complications.
