What are McDonald’s french fries really made of?
“FRENCH FRIES: Ingredients: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Beef Flavor [Wheat and Milk Derivatives]*, Citric Acid [Preservative]), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate (Maintain Color), Salt..
Are Chick Fil A fries healthy?
“Don’t be afraid of the fries. These contain only 280 mg of sodium and can be a great option for those looking to maintain a gluten-free lifestyle,” said Mancella. “The waffle fries contain only 2 grams of saturated fat and 0 grams of trans fat.”
Why do McDonald’s fries taste different?
In the 1990s, as health concerns over saturated fat reached an all-time high, McDonald’s faced a backlash against the use of beef tallow, and worried about losing customers, the chain switched to vegetable oil. Unfortunately, many customers said the new texture and taste weren’t up to the mark.
What happens if I eat fries everyday?
Your Fries May Be Deadly The bad news is that we may need to find a fast food with a lot less fat and salt. A new study has discovered a link between frequent eating of french fries and an increased risk of premature death.
Are McDonald’s fries 100 potato?
“McDonald’s French fries are made of potatoes.” That…and 18 other ingredients, according to McDonald’s.
Are air fried french fries healthy?
YES! Air Fryer french fries are way healthier than fries made using conventional deep frying in oil. Air Fryer uses continuous circulation of hot air to fry the food. It needs little to zero oil to get the same texture and taste.
Why do McDonald’s fries taste bad cold?
Temperature also partially explains why the taste of fries changes as they cool down, Hartings said. Simply put, heat can heighten the flavors in foods, he said. … Fresh french fries have a great aroma, but when they’re cold, the smell is largely gone, he said. Without that smell, a lot of the flavor disappears, he said.
Is McDonald’s french fries healthy?
The Fast-Food French Fries Health Winner The runner up is McDonald’s small fries, which ranked second lowest in calories, fat grams, and “bad fats.”
How unhealthy are french fries?
French fries have a lot of fat and salt that could raise the risk of cardiovascular disease. During the years of this study, trans fat (a particularly unhealthy type of fat) had not yet been banned from the US market.
How often should I eat french fries?
A new study is warning that eating french fries is tied to an increased risk of a shortened lifespan. While it’s no surprise that fries aren’t the healthiest option, a new American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study suggests that eating the side dish just twice a week is enough to increase your risk of death.
What is the pink slime in McDonald’s Burgers?
“Pink slime” is slang for “ammonia-treated lean beef trimmings.” It’s an industrial food process by which edible meat parts that stick to the bone but can’t be stripped by a knife are recovered by mechanical means and turned into a substance that can beef up burgers and plump up chicken products at lower cost.
Are McDonald’s fries fake?
Yes, McDonald’s french fries are made with real potatoes. However, they also contain a whole lot of extras. The revelations come from the fast-food chain’s new video, the latest in a series called “Our food. … And it turns out they do use real potatoes, a mix including Russet Burbanks and Umatilla Russets to be precise.
Why did McDonald’s change their fries?
Over the decades, the fast-food giant has changed the oil used to cook those signature fries, often in response to public pressure for a “healthier” french fry, resulting in a product that many swear doesn’t taste quite as good as it once did (not that we’ve stopped eating them, mind you).
What is the best type of potato for french fries?
RussetsWhat type of potato makes the best french fries, Russets. This mealy potato is high in starch and low in moisture which makes them absolutely delicious for french fries. The russets do not stop there, the high starch content makes for a fluffy baked potato.
Is it OK to eat fried food once a week?
Consuming foods fried in unstable or unhealthy oils can have several negative health effects. In fact, eating them regularly can put you at a higher risk of developing diseases like diabetes, heart disease and obesity. Therefore, it’s probably best to avoid or severely limit your intake of commercially fried foods.

The scale of those facing housing problems in the Glasgow has been detailed in a new report published by Shelter Scotland.
Over 3,000 people in the city contacted the charity for help last year, with 24 per cent of them already homeless or facing homelessness that night.
Of all the households already homeless or at risk of homelessness, 382 (27%) were families with children.
Scotland-wide figures recently published by Shelter Scotland revealed last year 21,290 people received help from its housing advice and support services – more than ever before – in what it called ‘Scotland’s national housing emergency’.
Gillian Reid, Shelter Scotland’s National Services Manager, said on the back of the report: “Demand for our services in the Glasgow area is very high and our teams are stretched to the limit in providing advice to help people find and keep a home.
“An acute shortage of truly affordable homes, harsh welfare reforms, stagnant wages and the high cost of keeping a roof over their head are the main reasons driving people to ask for help.
“We are particularly concerned about the practice of ‘gatekeeping’ – where people are prevented from making a homeless application. There is also an acute shortage of decent quality temporary accommodation – one of the consequences was that Glasgow City Council broke the law more than 3,000 times last year by not providing people with accommodation when it was their right.
“We are also extremely concerned about the continued use of B&B to accommodate homeless people – especially where the quality of it is often very poor and the cost extortionate.”
Gillian Reid added the charity will continue to provide help to those who need support in Glasgow and further afield in finding secure housing.
She said: “In Shelter Scotland’s 50 year our services are needed as much as ever – so we will keep helping people day-in, day-out and, until there’s a decent, safe and secure home for everyone, we’ll carry on fighting for everyone in and around Glasgow and Scotland facing bad housing and homelessness.
“We thank all our supporters, volunteers and staff for ensuring we can carry-on delivering the vital support and advice to people in the Glasgow area who need us most.”
Meanwhile, Glasgow City Council responded to the report, reemphasising its ongoing commitment to tackle homelessness in the city.
A spokeswoman for Glasgow’s Health & Social Care Partnership said: “In 2017/18, Glasgow City Council’s Homelessness Services made 7,109 offers of temporary accommodation to people presenting as homeless.
“Glasgow is committed to tackling homelessness and rough sleeping by adopting innovative and ground-breaking approaches such as the formation of the UK’s first Alliance to End Homelessness announced yesterday. The city’s homelessness services are also transitioning to a Housing First approach with the first, formerly long term homeless people currently settling into new tenancies. This new rapid rehousing approach will relieve pressure on emergency and temporary accommodation by moving people into their own tenancies faster.
“A new digital inclusion officer has also been recruited to work alongside the Simon Community’s Street Team to help rough sleepers apply for the state benefits they are eligible to receive and to open bank accounts required to receive Universal Credit.
“A new multi-agency, city centre hub for homeless people is also being created which will offer services for adults with multiple complex needs. We continue to lobby the Westminster Government for a change in legislation to enable the city to create a Safer Drug Consumption Facility which would enable service providers to engage with ‘hard to reach’ people who have previously been reluctant to access services.
“Councillor Mhairi Hunter and senior social workers have met Shelter and urged them to work with us – using our liaison arrangements to raise any specific concerns so we can respond quickly.
“As Shelter is aware, we also continue to work with the Scottish Housing Regulator and a range of partners in the Third and housing sectors to address the significant pressures on our homelessness accommodation services and to prevent people becoming homeless.”

Army vs. Lafayette Game Preview
Date: Saturday, Oct. 15
Game Time: 12:00 pm
Venue: Michie Stadium, West Point, NY
Network: CBS Sports Network
Army needs to tune the machine back up.
It looked like the Black Knights were going to steamroll through the first half of the season after starting out 3-0, but it inexplicably stalled against Buffalo in an overtime loss and couldn’t get going in the horrible weather against Duke.
But now they’re back at home for the first time since September 10th and for the second time all year. To have any prayer of getting to six wins and go bowling, they need this.
Fortunately, Lafayette doesn’t have any sort of a run defense, allowing 245 yards per game and getting destroyed in the Patriot League early on. The Leopards can wing the ball around and should be able to test the Black Knight secondary a wee bit, but Army’s defense continues to be terrific allowing 14 points or fewer in four of the five games.
The Army O won’t have any problems putting up points in bunches.
At least they’d better not.
Army vs. Lafayette Prediction
Final Score: Army 31, Lafayette 13

Skip to 0 minutes and 8 seconds My name is Dr. Lillian Musila, a principal scientist at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. I’m privileged today to interview Professor Samuel Kariuki, a renowned scientist in AMR in Kenya. You’ve had a very long career in AMR in Kenya. Can you briefly introduce yourself and the work that you have done and what you’re currently doing in the field of AMR today? Hi. My name is Professor Sam Kariuki. I’m currently director of research and development at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. But apart from the work on administration, I am very, very pertinent about research on antimicrobial resistance in Kenya and the region.
Skip to 0 minutes and 49 seconds And to a large extent, my major works have been in the area of enterics, but also trying to understand in general the epidemiology of AMR and how we can utilise our resources, our knowledge to control antimicrobial resistance in Kenya and the region. I think to a large extent, our major problems with AMR in Kenya, as in any other low and middle-income country facing the same problems is one, of course, one of awareness, where really the general population may not be aware about the extent to which antimicrobial resistance affects them on a daily basis. Secondly, I think there is a big, big issue with aspects of enforcement of already existing legislation.
Skip to 1 minute and 37 seconds We know, for instance, that buying antibiotics over the counter without prescription is illegal. We have laws against that, and we are not able to effectively carry out our mandates to enforce them. So there’s a lot of misuse and abuse of antibiotics in that context. The other issue, of course, that we are facing today is the fact that we don’t have enough data sometimes to convince policy makers regarding the big issue of antimicrobial resistance. For instance, we really don’t have data in some of the places that antibiotic resistance poses the gravest danger. Hospital or health care-associated infections, for example, we have patchy data here and there out of sentinel surveillance.
Skip to 2 minutes and 30 seconds But we don’t have a national surveillance programme that consistently collects data to the point that it can be useful for policy change. So we have a number of gaps that we must be able to fill to be able to effectively advise governments on why antimicrobial resistance is such a big issue. Usage is also another area. We know farmers use a lot of antibiotics. But to what extent do they use antibiotics for, say, prophylaxis or for treatment. Those are things we need to document properly. We have some little data, but not enough sometimes to convince a policymaker to change things. But I’m glad that a few things are happening which may address some of these shortcomings.
Skip to 3 minutes and 19 seconds Do you want to speak about some of those developments? Some of these developments include, for example, in the last three years, our government, through the Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries now effectively have outlawed addition of antimicrobials to food for animal feeds. That means, of course, it’s illegal now to add antibiotics to animal feeds, which then actually closes a big gap where we used to use a lot of antibiotics feeding animals. And that, as you know, because we are dealing with a One Health issue, would effectively affect human health. The other one, of course, is the fact that Kenya as a government has adopted the National Action Plan that emanated from the Global Action Plan.
Skip to 4 minutes and 13 seconds And if we’re able to fully implement the five major objectives of the National Action Plan, then definitely we’ll be able to tackle antimicrobial resistance. And that’s where we need to start and provide all our efforts towards accomplishment of those five objectives of the National Action Plan. Prof, it’s interesting what you’ve said. What are the particular challenges that you face in relation to tackling AMR in Kenya? I think in Africa and Kenya very specifically, we’re facing challenges in both animal health and human health, and also in development.
Skip to 4 minutes and 48 seconds I mean, in the One Health project where we really are not coordinating with each other because I may be in my own silo doing a little work on human health and documenting work that is ongoing, maybe in issues to do with the health care-associated infections, of surveillance or community-acquired infections. But how about industry? How about pharmaceutical industry? How about the livestock industry and other industries that directly contribute to antimicrobial resistance in their involvement, in animal husbandry? We really need to work as a team, and that’s synergy. At the moment, it’s not well defined. I think secondly, we need to put our money where our mouth is.
Skip to 5 minutes and 39 seconds As government, if you are very, very concerned that antimicrobial resistance will cost so many lives in 10, 20 years, if we don’t tackle it, then we need to put money in that aspect to be able to tackle that. Lastly, I think it is very, very crucial that we raise awareness among all stakeholders. It’s not enough to do just one week of awareness during the annual World Antibiotic Awareness Week. We need to do this consistently. And we must do it at all different levels. We start right from the level of young children, going to primary school, secondary school, universities, and professionals, so that everybody has a message or gets a message about antimicrobial resistance.
Skip to 6 minutes and 27 seconds It’s dangerous and what we need to do at all different levels to be able to tackle that problem. And I believe each of us has a stick and something we can do to be able to combat and contain antimicrobial resistance. How is your research helping us understand these problems better? My own research really concerns understanding the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance at different interfaces. Be it human health or animal health, and particularly, of course, utilising technology, such as whole genome sequencing, viral genetics, and informatics to be able to explain how resistance emerges, how resistance is transmitted, either between humans and humans, or between humans and livestock and so forth.
Skip to 7 minutes and 18 seconds And how we can utilise our technologies to be able to interrupt this transmission. That’s very, very crucial. Because if we have those tools and we have that information, we can be able to persuade policymakers and public health that if we intervene in this way, we can be able to interrupt transmission of antimicrobial resistance. So I worked on various pathogens, including Salmonella, E. coli, cholera, and so forth. And what we have found out is that in certain instances, the persistence of antimicrobial resistance in their environment is usually to do with overuse or abuse of antibiotics in certain communities. And we have shown that. You’ll find that in cities, there is more antimicrobial resistance compared to some of the rural sites.
Skip to 8 minutes and 10 seconds Why is that? It’s because there is more access in the cities and urban areas compared to elsewhere. So if you can be able to tackle some of these issues using the data that we already have, then we have made some headway. Given the complexity of this AMR problem, if you were omnipotent for a day, you could wave your hand and do anything, what would you do for a start? Yes, I think it’s a very difficult question to be able to put into just one sentence. Because if you recall, the National Action Plan has five key objectives. And all these objectives have to run with each other. None of them is more important than the other.
Skip to 8 minutes and 52 seconds Because they all are tackling a singular problem that is of major public health importance. And that is combating and trying to prevent antimicrobial resistance. But from my own side point of view, I would say that we need more funding for research and development because we want to understand certain aspects of why there is, for example, human behaviour of people wanting to buy antibiotics over the counter without prescription, using antibiotics that you are buying over the counter to add to a feed for animals, and so forth. I want to know, why do people behave this way? And that kind of study needs to have been done yesterday.
Skip to 9 minutes and 34 seconds In addition, I think we need to develop new technologies to be able to perform surveillance faster and to gather data much faster on usage in both humans and also in livestock as well. Because this is the kind of data that we require to compel policy makers that we need change, that we need to move from data to action. So without data, they will say, well, we can’t act. And in addition, of course, there are a lot of gaps. There are a lot of gaps in this country that require research and development efforts. Including, for example, how much is used in as far as antibiotics are concerned. We only have a small snippet of what happens.
Skip to 10 minutes and 23 seconds But then we need data on how much is used in hospitals, in the community, and for what purpose, and how much is misused in livestock or not, and so forth, how much is imported and for what. That level of understanding provides us with data for our government to know that we are probably importing more than we require and probably need to look at the way we distribute our pharmaceuticals. Too much is going in this way, whereas it’s not useful that way. And that kind of data can only be generated through research and development. How do you think that these problems we face in Kenya fits into the international picture? Are there lessons that other countries can learn from us?
Skip to 11 minutes and 6 seconds I think we can learn from each other. One thing we can do, for example, is I’ll give one example. We have very low levels of MRSA, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. And there’s a good reason for that. It’s simply because we haven’t probably misused antibiotics for treatment of staphylococcal infections to the extent that other countries in the developing world have done. That we can say, yes, it may have been a coincidence. But we can learn from some of the findings that we have that doing certain things is wrong because of what we’re seeing currently. What approach do you think would yield the best and earliest rewards in tackling AMR in Kenya?
Skip to 11 minutes and 55 seconds I think, to me, I look at tackling antimicrobial resistance as saving humankind. If you are able to implement the National Action Plan as a team, the five major objectives, and we get our act together to reduce the burden of antimicrobial resistance even by half, I’m sure the quality of life will rise more than 50%. I am sure the standard of living will equally rise. And I’m equally sure that the survival of, say, for example, newborn children will be much, much higher. Because we lose a lot of people due to infections that cannot be treated properly. We lose a lot of people.
Skip to 12 minutes and 47 seconds We lose a lot of animals because they are wrongly diagnosed for the wrong things, and then the treatment is not appropriate. I think by and large, if we are able to talk about the issue of antimicrobial resistance in Africa, our standards of living will be much, much higher than they are now. And definitely, we will have saved so much money that will go into developing new antimicrobials. And that can be used elsewhere in the economy. I think one thing I would want to add is the fact that in raising awareness, we need to build more capacity in our institutions on antimicrobial resistance.
Skip to 13 minutes and 30 seconds And of course, these advanced courses are one way of providing capacity for laboratories, both in human health and also in animal health, to be able to perform quality antimicrobial resistance surveillance, as well as genomics to really be able to inform policy on what’s happening on the ground. I think that we will be able to raise a huge number of people in Africa that are able to, qualitatively and in a quality assured manner, provide detail that is compelling enough for policymakers to take it seriously.

On 9 September 2023 The Associated Press reported:
When the leaders of the Group of 20 arrived in host country India, they were feted by a classic Indian formula of Bollywood song and dance on the tarmac. Now as they tuck in to dinner, they are in for yet another cultural treat: dressed-up versions of a humble, earthy grain that's a staple for millions of Indians. ...Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared 2023 as the Year of Millets, and so did the United Nations. Even the White House took note of the grain -- in June, plant-based courses of millet were on the menu for some 400 guests invited to a White House State Dinner for Modi, who is a vegetarian.

GOODBYE LESLIE FAY: The Leslie Fay Co. has changed its name to LF Brands to reinforce its image as a holding company of diverse brands. It marks the first time since the firm was founded in 1947 by Fred Pomerantz that the corporate name will not contain the Leslie Fay moniker. The firm was named after Pomerantz’s daughter, whose brother, John, is still chairman of the firm.
This story first appeared in the April 15, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
According to company executives, the moderate overtone of the Leslie Fay name was cause for confusion, since the company caters to several different markets. It remains the moniker of its signature dress label, however.
“As we continue to develop existing brands and add new ones, it is important that each brand’s identity and positioning remain independent,” said W. John Short, chief executive officer, “but that all of our brands be supported under the corporate umbrella of the LF Brands holding company.”
LF Brands distributes apparel under the following labels: Leslie Fay, Joan Leslie, David Warren, D.W. Studio, Rimini and Cynthia Steffe.
HANNANT’S MEET AND EAT: Bergdorf Goodman held a lunch last Wednesday with Douglas Hannant for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America in Goodman’s Cafe. After sipping bellinis and dining on salmon, guests nibbled at their dessert while browsing Hannant’s collection on the fourth floor. The designer will present his fall collection in a runway presentation at the foundation’s annual Women of Distinction awards luncheon May 14. That luncheon, held in the Grand Ballroom at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, will honor actress Lorraine Bracco.
VIVA ITALIA: Here’s an idea: Close down a few lanes on Madison Avenue, park some Ferraris outside, get Cipriani for the catering and call it a party.
That’s what the Italian Trade Commission and the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District did March 27 in a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the promotion “Italy Salutes New York.”
ITC commissioner Roberto Luongo, Italian Consul General Giorgio Radicati and Roffredo Gaetani of Ferrari attended the opening festivities alongside local residents and representatives from the Madison Avenue BID. Two lanes of traffic were closed between East 66th and 70th Streets.
The program continued through April 6 as more than 30 Italian brands with stores on Madison Avenue participated. Inside the boutiques — Bottega Veneta, Etro, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani and Missoni, to name a few shoppers found booklets that looked like passports. After visiting 20 stores and making sure to get their passports stamped in each location, shoppers were eligible to win prizes, including Vespa scooters and trips to Italy on Alitalia, as well as gifts from each of the participating brands.
UPDATE YOUR CALENDAR: Several trade shows have shifted their dates for next month’s fall II editions. The Annex by Designers & Agents will run May 5-7 at the Starrett-Lehigh Center, 601 West 26th Street, New York. Atelier will be held May 4-6 at the Rihga Royal Hotel, while the Nouveau Collective Lifestyle Show is now slated for May 4-7 at the Park Central Hotel.

b. 06/06/1873 Edinburgh, Scotland. d. 09/01/1930 Nice, France.
John Frederick MacKay (1873-1930) was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 6th June 1873. After a private education, he attended the University of Edinburgh, before enlisting with the 1st Gordon Highlanders.

On the 29th May, 1900, during the action on Crow’s Nest Hill, near Johannesburg, Corporal McKay repeatedly rushed forward, under a withering fire at short ranges, to attend to wounded comrades, dressing their wounds whilst he himself was without shelter, and in one instance carrying a wounded man from the open, under a heavy fire, to the shelter of a boulder.
He was presented with the Victoria Cross on 25th October 1900 by the Commander in Chief, South Africa, Lord Roberts VC at Pretoria. In May 1903, he was seconded to the Southern Nigerian Regiment. He accompanied the expeditions to the Ime River, Cross River and Ibibio Country in 1904-1905. He accompanied the Bende Hinterland Expedition in 1905-1906.

Returning in 1916, he was promoted to the command of the 2nd/6th Battalion, Highland Light Infantry, an appointment he held until it was disbanded. Promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel, commanded the 1st Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in Bangalore, India in 1919.
Following his retirement as a Lieutenant-Colonel, he moved to the South of France, where he lived the rest of his life. He died at his home, 31 Rue Villers, Nice on 9th January 1930 aged 56. He was buried in the Cimetiere de Caucade, Nice. His medals are held and displayed at the Gordon Highlanders Museum, Aberdeen, Scotland.

TEXT OF STORY
Scott Jagow: Congress is getting involved in a fight over who sits on the board of a major railroad company. The company, CSX, controls 21,000 miles of train tracks in the U.S. A British hedge fund called TCI wants to take control of CSX's board of directors. Jeremy Hobson has more.
Jeremy Hobson: TCI is shorthand for the Children's Investment Fund. The British fund gives some of its profits to children's charities.
But in a letter this week to the Treasury Department, several U.S. senators called TCI an "aggressive hedge fund from the Cayman Islands." The senators said an investigation is necessary to prevent a possible threat to national security.
Nancy McLernon at the Organization for International Investment says that's way over the top.
Nancy McLernon: Look, absolutely railroads are an important part of our infrastructure. But the issue at hand here has nothing to do with national security. TCI can't do anything on its own. That's the point. They are a minority investor. And that's all this is. This is a proxy fight.
A CSX spokesman said national security was not the company's concern. But he did say that TCI would cut capital investment and impede the growth of CSX. The two sides face off at a shareholder meeting later this month.
In Washington, I'm Jeremy Hobson for Marketplace.
“I think the best compliment I can give is not to say how much your programs have taught me (a ton), but how much Marketplace has motivated me to go out and teach myself.” – Michael in Arlington, VABEFORE YOU GO

The COVID-19 Vaccine: Questions and Answers
Because the situation surrounding COVID-19 is constantly evolving, some information may not be up to date. Stay informed by following information from your local officials and by visiting the CDC website.
If you watch the news or spend time on social media, you’ve probably heard about several COVID-19 vaccines that are seeking emergency-use authorization from the FDA. But what does this mean for you? We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, so here’s what we know so far.
What are the different COVID-19 vaccines?
There are currently five vaccines that are either in phase 3 testing or have finished phase 3 testing and are seeking emergency authorization from the FDA. These come from the following companies:
The Pfizer vaccine has been issued emergency-use authorization by the FDA.
Who will get the COVID-19 vaccine first?
Once a vaccine gains emergency-use authorization from the FDA, vaccine distribution and administration can begin and vaccines will go into production. Initial supply of a COVID-19 vaccine may be limited, and federal guidelines indicate that healthcare workers should be among the first to get the vaccine in order to ensure health systems are able to continue to provide care through the pandemic and beyond.
Federal guidelines indicate that healthcare workers should get the vaccine first, including those most at risk for exposure to COVID-19, such as: first responders and employees and patients in Long-Term Acute Care centers and other similar facilities. While nothing is set in stone, it is thought that the vaccine will be released to the following groups first:
- First responders and healthcare workers
- Frontline workers in essential industries
- Employees and patients in long-term acute care centers
- People over the age of 65
- People with preexisting conditions that put them at greater risk for severe complications from COVID-19
Once the vaccines are approved, we expect to receive more doses every week, so the number of people who can get the vaccine will increase exponentially.
"We want to achieve herd immunity the right way through vaccination, but we’re unlikely to get that anytime soon," said Dr. Paul Klotman, nephrologist and internal medicine specialist at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center and president and CEO of Baylor College of Medicine. "In the meantime, we should be focused on the public health measures that we know are working, which include physically distancing, avoiding large social gatherings, and wearing masks."
Why should I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Even if you’re young and healthy, there is no telling how COVID-19 may affect you. Vaccinations can also reduce the spread of the virus.
"Mass vaccinations will really be what breaks this epidemic," said Dr. Charles Sims, medical director for infectious disease in the northern market of St. Luke’s Health and the chief infectious disease expert for Montgomery County. "If we isolate ourselves as well as we can, there’s still going to be some low-level spread in the community, and as we go back to more of a normal lifestyle, we can start seeing spread of the virus or even recurrence of the epidemic because we’ll still have a limited amount of immunity."
Where can I get the COVID-19 vaccine in Houston and surrounding counties?
After reading all of the benefits that can come from getting vaccinated, you may be searching for a “COVID-19 vaccine near me.” Initially, a limited number of provider sites will be available to administer the vaccine. Check with your physician’s office for more information about provider sites near you.
Our team is closely following the progress of vaccine development for COVID-19. We are preparing to receive and distribute vaccines as they become available. Vaccine distribution plans will be determined by the FDA, CDC, and state and local health departments – including how and when St. Luke’s Health facilities will receive vaccines, how many doses will be available, and who should receive the first doses. Our expectation is that the vaccine will be distributed in phases, beginning with a limited number of doses in December 2020. Vaccines may be more widely available by spring or summer 2021.
How many rounds of the COVID-19 vaccine will I need?
The number of inoculations a person needs for the vaccine to be as effective as possible depends on the manufacturer. One of the vaccines in phase 3 requires only one injection, while all of the others require two.
Some vaccines require two inoculations over a period of time because the combination can create a stronger immune response in the recipient. The first round gives a small dose that your immune system can become familiar with, and the second one delivers a little more of the virus to train your immune system fully.
Do I have to wear a mask after getting the COVID-19 vaccine?
Vaccines are just one tool in our toolkit to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It is important that we continue to follow CDC guidelines for the pandemic, including wearing a mask and practicing social distancing after getting one or both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Please remember to wash your hands regularly, always wear face coverings in public, and follow social distancing guidelines and government quarantine directives in your area. Getting vaccinated is one of many steps you can take to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Protection from COVID-19 is critically important because, for some people, it can cause severe illness or death.
As COVID-19 continues to spread, pay attention to your health and self-isolate if you have symptoms. If you have additional questions about COVID-19, schedule an in-person or virtual visit with your Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Group primary care physician.

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association launches author services in collaboration with Editage
(December 4, 2017; Rockville, MD, USA) - The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) announced today that it has engaged with Editage to launch author services. The ASHA author services, powered by Editage, are designed to support authors with not only end-to-end pre-submission manuscript preparation, but also post-publication research communication. All the author support services are available at a subsidized cost to ASHA authors. Authors submitting their manuscripts to journals published by ASHA will also have free access to a wealth of educational resources powered by Editage Insights, the author education arm of Editage.
On the launch of the new comprehensive author support center, Michael Cannon, Director of Serial Publications and Editorial Services at ASHA said, “We’re very pleased to work with Editage and offer holistic support to authors submitting their manuscripts to our journals. In addition to expert editorial support, the educational resources and research communication solutions will surely be valuable to many of our authors.”
Donald Samulack, President, U.S. Operations, Editage shared the motivation behind the collaboration, “Our mission is to empower every individual through effective communication, which is very well aligned with the vision of ASHA.

I've also acquired a Plug-and-Play driver from Agilent to be used by 8614x devices. These Instrument Drivers came with three examples. I connected to the device via MAX (that is, it sees the device).

GM reports smaller 3Q loss as it starts to reap benefits of turnaround plan
Wednesday, October 25th 2006, 8:58 am
News On 6
DETROIT (AP) _ General Motors Corp. posted a smaller $115 million loss for the third quarter on Wednesday as it began to reap the benefits of its turnaround plan.
The world's biggest automaker said that excluding special charges, it would have earned $529 million in the period.
Its sales rose nearly 4 percent and it said the losses in both its global and North American automotive operations shrank as its efforts to cut costs have begun to show results.
GM's loss amounted to 20 cents per share for the July-September period and was far better than its loss of $1.7 billion, or $2.94 per share, a year earlier.
The company said that excluding charges associated with the reorganization at Delphi Corp., its former parts division, and its lowered assessment of the value of its finance arm, it earned 93 cents per share in the latest quarter.
That beat Wall Street expectations. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted the company to earn 49 cents per share excluding special charges.
Still, GM stock dropped $1.28, or 3.5 percent, to $34.92 in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company also said its third-quarter revenue totaled $48.8 billion, up from $47.1 billion during the same period last year.
``This quarter's results reflect the work we've been doing, particularly on cost reduction, really beginning to take hold. This is the third quarter in a row where we've showed improvements of over a billion in our North American operations. ... Obviously not what we'd like but certainly with a billion-six improvement over last year, we're moving in the right direction,'' GM Chairman and Chief Executive Rick Wagoner said Wednesday morning on the CNBC cable network.
GM attributed much of the improvement to its global automotive operations, where the company still lost $116 million, but that was an improvement of $1.5 billion over last year's third quarter.
In North America, GM lost $374 million, but that was an improvement of $1.3 billion over last year, the company said.
Chief Financial Officer Fritz Henderson said the company is benefiting from significant cost reductions from its turnaround plan. The company is on target to reach $9 billion in structural cost reductions this year, he said.
Still, GM is losing money and is not satisfied with its cuts or improved revenue, Henderson said.
``We're reducing the level of cash burn year to date ... but still we're not generating cash,'' he said.
GM's report comes only days after Ford Motor Co. reported a loss of $5.8 billion for the quarter on slumping North American sales and massive restructuring costs.
Also on Wednesday, DaimlerChrysler AG posted a 37 percent drop in its third-quarter profit amid a slowdown in sales at its American arm, Chrysler Group. The German-American company earned 541 million euros ($686 million) in the July-September period, compared with a profit of 855 million euros a year earlier as sales fell 8 percent.
The Chrysler division posted an operating loss of 1.16 billion euros ($1.5 billion) in the quarter, compared with an operating profit of 310 million euros the previous year as its sales fell 26 percent.
GM looks for better sales in the fourth quarter as its redesigned pickup trucks and car-based crossover vehicles enter the market, but Henderson would not say when GM expects to turn a profit.
Globally, GM's market share in the quarter was 13.9 percent, down from 14.4 percent during the same quarter of last year. It dropped nearly a full point in the U.S. from 26 percent last year to 25.1 percent this year, losing share mainly to Asian competitors.
GM attributed to drop to its strategy to reduce low-profit sales to rental car companies in North America and Europe. Fleet sales, which include sales to rental companies, dropped from 25.2 percent in the third quarter last year to 24 percent this year.
The company benefited in the third quarter from a small increase in demand for trucks due to decreasing gasoline prices, Henderson said, although he said the consumer is still focused on fuel economy.
``That doesn't mean we are going to take our foot off the gas in terms of passenger cars,'' he said.
The company also reduced its estimated liability for employee benefits at Delphi to $6 billion to $7.5 billion, at the low end of previous estimates ranging from $5.5 billion to $12 billion. The company already has allocated $6 billion for the benefits.
Henderson said negotiations with Delphi, which GM spun off as a separate company that is now operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and its creditors, have progressed.
``There's a lot of negotiation that's been going on. They're not done. We're not saying they're done,'' Henderson said. ``Based upon what we know, we needed to narrow the range.''
Delphi, GM and the United Auto Workers are negotiating wage and benefit reductions at the troubled parts maker, and Delphi has asked a federal bankruptcy judge for permission to void its labor contracts.
Earlier this year, GM drastically cut its costs by winning health care concessions from the UAW and convincing about 35,000 hourly workers to leave the company under early retirement or buyout plans.
