The wait is almost over. what to expect on September 7th, from iPhone 14 to Apple Watch Series 8.
Hello readers! 👋🏼
As most of us are aware that Apple typically hosts three to four events per year. A spring event is often held in March, the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, an event in September that is centred on the iPhone and Apple Watch, and occasionally an event in October if iPads or Macs are anticipated in the fall.
We weren’t shocked to receive an invitation revealing September 7 as the date of the upcoming Apple event because Apple often hosts an event in September. The invitation has an astronomical feel to it, with the Apple logo silhouetted by cosmic stars. This Apple event will have the same concept as previous ones: Far Out.
There are a few goods this year that feel like lock-ins, including the iPhone 14 and the Apple Watch Series 8. However, the iPad and AirPods product lines might also receive some love, and there might even be a few surprises in store.

The obvious choice is this. Since Apple has always released a new iPhone in September (with the exception of 2020, when the pandemic delayed things by a month), we do not anticipate that this will change in 2022. And just like every year, there have been a tonne of rumours about Apple’s upcoming smartphone that have been circulating nonstop.
The iPhone 14 rumours are hotter than ever, with the most recent information indicating that the 2022 iPhone will feature some significant changes. The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to have the most improvements, such as a new 48MP camera and an always-on display. However, the most significant rumoured design change for the iPhone 14 Pro is the removal of the now-infamous display notch to make way for a pill-shaped cutout for Face ID as well as a punch hole. Check out our rundown of what to expect from the iPhone 14 notch for a more detailed look at the notch design changes. The A16 Bionic chip is expected to be found only in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. That’s just one of the reasons why one of our editors believes the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be Apple’s best phone yet.
Another exciting development is that Apple may discontinue the iPhone 14 mini in favour of a new model known as the iPhone 14 Max. It will reportedly have the same large 6.7-inch display as the iPhone 14 Pro Max but will be significantly less expensive. In fact, both the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are expected to see a $100 price increase.
So, can Apple justify a $100 price increase for the iPhone 14 Pro models? We’ve discussed what Apple is likely to do to ensure the iPhone 14 Pro’s success.
With the iPhone 14 Max being touted as the smaller phone’s replacement, it appears that the iPhone 14 tiny is doomed. However, we’ve got a list of the top iPhone 14 mini competitors if you’re looking for a smaller phone, with the iPhone SE 2022 taking the lead.
Apple Watch Series 8
While the iPhone 14 is the most obvious lock for Apple’s recently announced “Far Out” event on September 7, the Apple Watch Series 8 is also a strong possibility. And if rumours are to be believed, Apple’s extremely successful wristwatch will be released in more than one new iteration.
It appears that the Series 8 will include both the normal model and the “Pro” model, which is a more durable Watch. Furthermore, it makes sense that 2022 would be the year for certain changes. In comparison to the Series 6, the Apple Watch Series 7 was a very incremental improvement that added a larger screen while keeping everything else largely the same. It’s safe to say that the impending Apple Watch Series 8 is generating a lot of curiosity.
The Apple Watch Series 8 may be able to measure body temperature, which would allow users to check their temperature by simply looking at their wrist, according to seasoned Apple leaker Ming-Chi Kuo(opens in new tab). He asserts that although this was cancelled “because the algorithm failed to qualify,” it was planned for the Series 7. New sleep monitoring capabilities, such as the capacity to recognise complex sleep patterns and sleep apnea, are rumoured to be coming next year.
Although there isn’t any official information available just yet, based on past trends — or perhaps we should start calling it tradition — we can forecast that the Apple Watch Series 8 release date will occur in the final quarter of 2022. There is no reason to believe that this year will be any different from previous years when Apple releases new Watch models at the same time as iPhone updates in September. We may assume that it will most likely start at roughly $399 / £369 if the pricing matches that of the 7, and really any other recent Apple Watch. Although the rumoured new model would certainly have a different price point, it seems doubtful that Apple would deviate from that
AirPods Pro 2
The long-rumoured Apple AirPods Pro 2, a replacement for the well-liked AirPods Pro, some of the best wireless earbuds we’ve ever tried, may finally be unveiled at the September Apple Event.
According to a recent source, the AirPods Pro 2 might support Bluetooth 5.2 with LE Audio. Leveraging Bluetooth Low Energy radio technology, LE Audio makes it possible to use electricity more effectively, extending battery life (which is an area where current AirPods models lag behind newer models recently introduced by rivals). The Low Complexity Communications Codec (LC3), which enhances audio handling and increases wireless range with a stronger and more stable connectivity, is also introduced.
Since Apple unveiled new noise-cancelling headphones, a number of years have passed. The Apple AirPods 3 arrived in 2021, but the AirPods Pro 2 is expected to come with significant improvements. They are believed to receive voice recognition technology, fitness monitoring features, and more compatibility for third-party apps.
Although we haven’t heard anything about the AirPods Pro 2’s battery life and charging capabilities, we don’t anticipate many changes to those specifications. The AirPods 2 Pro will probably continue to use Lightning charging as well.
What else is on the horizon, except rumoured Apple devices?
We don’t know what else Apple has planned for the September event except the iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, and AirPods Pro 2. Nevertheless, it’s thought that other Apple products are in the works such as Apple VR/AR headset and Apple Car, Mac mini, iPad Pro 2022
Apple Glasses or a mixed reality and virtual reality headgear from the company are still in the works. Additionally, an Apple Car might appear in the future.
At least one of those improvements may not be available for another few years because Tim Cook is thought to be aiming to retire after “one more” major product announcement between 2025 and 2028.

About this Deal
President Trump said Friday he had watched the video of Ahmaud Arbery being shot and found it “very disturbing” and “heartbreaking,” but he is confident the Georgia legal system will come down on the side of justice.
Local prosecutors said they would bring the two-month-old case to a grand jury this week, after the video surfaced.
In a phone interview on Fox News Friday morning Trump said Arbery’s death on Feb. 23 in Brunswick, Ga. was “a very disturbing situation to me.” He did not comment on the outrage that has been sparked this week by the release of a video showing Arbery, a 25-year old black man who was unarmed, stopped in the middle of a road by two white men, a father and son, before he was shot to death.
The men, Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son Travis McMichael, 34, have been charged with murder.

Amber Heard meets me on a sunny morning at Gemma, the copper-toned Italian brasserie next to Manhattan’s Bowery Hotel where she’s currently staying as she shoots Syrup, an indie drama set in the dog-eat-dog world of corporate advertising. The 25-year-old actor is tall and slender, her blonde hair slicked back and still wet from the shower, and, if she’s to be believed, there’s not a pinch of makeup on her face. “Can you tell that I just woke up?” she asks. Aside from the two soy lattes she guzzles in under an hour, I cannot. Heard is dressed in head-to-toe vintage—a black lace top exposing her sun-kissed shoulders, an eggshell-white, high-waisted skirt, and gold slip-ons—a style that not only suits her pinup physique, but also that of Maureen, the Bunny she plays on NBC’s new ’60s-era drama The Playboy Club.
To the average moviegoer, Heard might look familiar, if not quite recognizable. (Isn’t she the girl whose face decomposed at the beginning of Zombieland, right before treating Jesse Eisenberg’s brain like an amuse-bouche?) Her pinup good looks have served her well in roles that usually call for a slight twist on the all-American dream girl. I’ll admit that before this assignment, I’d considered Heard to be just another perfectly symmetrical actor clawing her way up the Hollywood employment ladder, mostly in thankless roles in genre movies—as Seth Rogen’s girlfriend in the hardcore stoner-art romp Pineapple Express, or as Nicolas Cage’s Daisy Dukes–wearing passenger in the equally hardcore action wig-out Drive Angry 3D. Somehow, these parts have led her to The Rum Diary, an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s long-lost novel about a journalist—played by Johnny Depp—in 1960s Puerto Rico, and Heard’s first film aimed at high-minded adults hungry for cinematic brain food.
Asked if The Rum Diary feels like her first film for grown-ups, Heard soaks her response in sarcasm: “Well, The Informers is certainly a kids’ movie,” she says, referring to one of her earlier projects, an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ coke-tome of the same name brought to excruciating life in 2009. But unlike that roundly panned film, The Rum Diary works. As Chenault, the striking and provocative object of Depp’s affections, Heard manages to breathe strength and vulnerability into a character that feels both out-of-reach and somehow obtainable. It’s a role she could play in her sleep. “Chenault is free-spirited and rebellious,” she says. “I can relate to that.” To get the part, Heard fought tooth-and-nail—a process that included four auditions and a handwritten letter to director Bruce Robinson—eventually beating out some of Hollywood’s alpha actresses. “I heard names of people who were going in, so I think part of me was resigned to not getting it,” Heard says, obliquely referring to Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley, whose auditions for the role were widely reported.
Heard talks about her Rum Diary experience like she still can’t wrap her head around it. She punctuates the story of her first audition for Depp with bursts of incredulous laughter. Was she intimidated meeting one of the world’s great silver-screen icons? “I guess I must have been,” she says. “I just don’t know if I thought about it that way. Luckily, we’re built so we don’t really remember that kind of pain.” Laughter. “I can just assume it was there.” More laughter. Regarding a steamy shower scene with Depp, Heard plays it cool, sort of. “I grew up watching his movies, so it was a little surreal, but I very much become my characters while I’m working. I’m not Amber Heard making out with Johnny Depp in the shower. I mean, that’s awesome, but I am Chenault, and he’s Paul Kemp, and we’re embroiled in a love story in Puerto Rico, and it’s easy to get lost in that. Love scenes are weird, but if they’re right for your character, I let go of the weirdness and jump into them.”
She worked closely with Depp to develop the character of Chenault, who was based on Thompson’s first wife, Sandy Conklin (who later changed her name to Sondi Wright). “I’m playing somebody who still exists, who had a major role in the life of one of Johnny’s dear friends, and who is in more than one way important to him,” she says. “So there was a lot of pressure.” She need not worry. From her very first scene, in which she emerges from the sea like a siren, beckoning Depp’s character to plunge in and join her, Heard’s luminosity fills the frame. Despite the newfound respect that will surely accompany her Rum Diary role, Heard doesn’t see it as a career turning point. “Don’t get me wrong,” she says. “It feels great, but none of my films feel like they’re going to be my big break. I do the job, work really hard on the project, and go home and do the next one. They’re kind of all stepping stones built on one another.”
Last December, however, Heard’s on-screen work took a backseat to her private life, when, at The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 25th anniversary celebration, news began circulating about her long-term relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree. Suddenly, her personal life, which Heard says she fiercely guards, was exposed, a choice with which she wrestled. For Heard, talking openly about her relationship with a woman wasn’t an attempt to grab media coverage, but instead, she says, an ethical and social responsibility. “I talked about my relationship because there’s a difference between being a private person and being part of the problem,” she says. “I knew that I had a responsibility to young people, who right now are without many role models, to kind of step out of my comfort zone and acknowledge that I have a girlfriend without being ambiguous about it.” Echoing what she’d said at the time, Heard adds, “At the end of the day, if you’re hiding something, then you are inadvertently saying it’s wrong, and I don’t feel like it’s wrong. Millions of people aren’t born wrong.”
Since that day, Heard has been disturbed by the way her sexuality has been reported. A headline on the Huffington Post, one of the first links that comes up on an Amber Heard Google search, reads, “Amber Heard Gay: Actress Comes Out as a Lesbian.” But, according to Heard, she never came out. “I’ve always been out,” she says. “Way before that event, there were pictures of me walking to press events holding my girlfriend’s hand. Those have been on the internet for years.”
Heard’s spirit of activism—her official website is as devoted to gay rights as it is to her magazine covers—is a by-product of coming of age in Austin, Texas, amidst a wave of what she calls religious hypocrisy. Heard, a proud atheist, left home at 17 for Hollywood after dropping out of high school. “I felt very alienated,” she says of that time in her life. “I was not a religious person, and I didn’t think the things around me were righteous, even though that’s what they claimed to be. I felt compelled to go against the grain, so I took my GED, took my SAT, and I got the hell out of there.” It’s partly what drew her to her character in The Playboy Club. “You don’t know where she’s come from, and in many ways I relate to that, that alienated person against the masses. I don’t know how my character is going to grow, but I have a feeling I want to be there for her when she does.”
More and more, Heard is becoming known as an actor willing to take risks. She’s neither shied away from nudity nor from Nic Cage movies, but she also speaks her mind. “My PR people should be on a steady supply of prescription medication,” she says with a subtle Texas twang, buried beneath years of Hollywood refinement. “It’s lonely to stand up for what’s right,” she says. “I am alone in Hollywood in many ways, and that’s scary. It’s better for my career if I stay quiet, but I’ve just never been that person. I didn’t get into this business so I could shut up.”

(HealthDay News) — Among men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, the addition of external beam therapy (EBT) to transperineal interstitial permanent brachytherapy (B) does not improve 5-year progression-free survival, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Sept. 25 to 28 in Boston.
Bradley R. Prestidge, MD, from the DePaul Medical Center in Norfolk, Va., and colleagues randomized men with prostate cancer to receive 45 Gy partial pelvis EBT + B or B alone. Five hundred eighty-eight men were randomized (287 EBT + B eligible and 292 B eligible); patients were followed for a median of 6.7 years.
The researchers found that 5-year progression-free survival was 85% for the EBT + B arm and 86% for the B arm at the fifth interim analysis of 443 patients with 5 years of follow-up (hazard ratio, 1.02; futility P = 0.0006). The Data Monitoring Committee recommended early release for the initial reporting of the primary end point. Similar acute overall ≥ grade 3 toxicity was seen (8% for EBT + B and B). Overall ≥ grade 3 late toxicity was 12 and 7% for EBT + B and B, respectively.
“These findings suggest that many men with intermediate risk prostate cancer can be well managed with seed implant alone and do not require the addition of external beam radiation,” Prestidge said in a statement.

The research showed that combining ultrasound imaging and a blood test for high alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels will improve the detection of early liver cancer by 40%. AFP is a plasma protein that is produced by the liver cells in the foetus. Early detection can help in the survival of the patients with liver cancer. Risk factors for liver cancer are : hepatitis C infection, chronic heavy alcohol consumption and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

I love the bread making process. I love trying different mixes of ingredients and have done an awful lot of experimenting with it over the past few years. Bread was one of the first things I stopped buying back when I decided our diet needed cleaning up. After making an awful loaf of bread, I decided we would just go without. But as time went on, my partner brought home a loaf or two of store bought bread and I decided I needed to work out how to make a good loaf. After I mastered wheat bread, I started playing with spelt flour and after a few loaves, I came up with this recipe. It is very good and has been very popular on the recipe community, where I originally posted it. Check out the notes underneath the recipe for the changes you need to make in order to make a white loaf – both versions are light and fluffy. The wholemeal loaf is a mix of wholemeal and white flour, as using all wholemeal flour results in a very heavy loaf.
2 tbs chia seeds
400g lukewarm water
2 tsp dried yeast
150g wholemeal spelt flour
400g unbleached white spelt flour
2 tsp salt
2 tsp natural bread improver*
1 tsp raw honey
20g extra virgin olive oil
1. Firstly, combine chia and 120g of the water in a glass and set aside. It should sit for a little bit, to form a gel before adding to the other ingredients. By the time you get the rest of your ingredients out and ready, then get to the step in the recipe when it is added, it is about right.
2. Into mixer bowl, place remaining 280g water, yeast, wholemeal and white flours, salt, bread improver, honey, oil, linseeds and chia gel. KNEAD/4 minutes/MC on. The dough may be quite sticky. If it is, don’t add more flour. Sticky dough = fluffy bread.
3. Remove dough to either a silicon bread mat or a large oiled bowl. Either wrap in the mat or cover the bowl with glad wrap and leave in a warm place to double in size.
4. Oil your hands then knock all air out of the dough. Transfer to a bread tin, spray the top with water using a spray bottle (this will give a crunchy crust) and if you would like seeds on top, sprinkle them on now. Cover the top of your bread tin and leave to double in size again.
5. When dough has doubled in size, your bread is ready to cook. Spray the surface with water again then place the bread tin into the oven (do not preheat oven when making bread). Turn oven on to 200°. Cook for 30 minutes from the time you close the oven door.
6. When cooked, turn bread out onto a cooling rack straight away, this will prevent the crust from going soggy.
– If you would prefer to make your loaf white, replace wholemeal and white flour above with 590g unbleached white flour. You’ll notice that this is not a direct swap (weight) and that is because wholemeal flours absorb more water than white flours do.
– Bread improver is something I avoided for a long time in bread making, as the brands I saw at the supermarkets contained ingredients I didn’t want to use for my family. Then, I discovered that you can get natural bread improvers. I have been using them ever since, as they make a big difference to the finished product. The brands I use are Simply No Knead, Demeter Farm Mills and All About Bread.

Pope Francis on Saturday arrived in Sarajevo on a one-day visit aimed at bolstering reconciliation between the country's Serb, Croat and Muslim communities.
The pontiff's plane landed at Sarajevo's airport at 0700 GMT. Francis is the second pope to visit Sarajevo. Jean-Paul II famously visited during a severe snowstorm in 1997 and six years later the Polish pope returned to Bosnia for a visit to the Bosnian Serb capital Banja Luka.

Kathmandu, September 19
The Election Commission says it is studying how Nepalis living abroad can cast their votes in the November 30 by-polls. However, it clarifies that the government must formulate the required laws to introduce the new system.
Speaking at a meeting of the State Affairs and Good Governance Committee of Parliament on Thursday, Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya said the commission so far found three possible options to introduce the system. He said the internet, traditional post box or a mobile app could be used to cast the votes.
There was another option of establishing a voting centre at Nepal’s diplomatic mission in other countries, he said, adding, “But that will not be easy for everyone living in different places. If you have to travel to a place to cast votes in the United States from another point, you can arrive in Nepal in a shorter time than that.”
The official was of the view that technical challenges were more important than financial ones to lets the Nepalis living abroad exercise their constitutional right.
On the occasion, Thapaliya informed that the commission studied existing voting provisions of 216 countries to find that 151 countries assured rights of their citizens living abroad.
He said the commission was wrapping up its other preparations for the polls.
“We are in the last stage. No obstructions have been faced so far. We are capable of conducting the polls fairly and impartially.”

The controversy surrounding the discovery of huge sums of dollars by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken a dramatic turn as the Rivers State government and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) have both claimed ownership of the money.
Speaking to journalists on Friday, Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike was quoted to have said that the money found in an Ikoyi apartment in Lagos belongs to his state.
This came after former PDP Acting Chairman Uche Secondus alleged that the money belongs to the Rivers State government.
Secondus spoke in Port Harcourt on Thursday when over 7,500 members of the All Progressives Congress defected to the PDP in Rivers State.
“About $43 million (and other cash) was found in a house in Ikoyi. And I believe that the monies belong to Rivers State. We want (Ibrahim) Magu and EFCC to announce the owner of that money and if possible return the money to Rivers State,” PUNCH quoted Secondus as saying.
Wike said that the money was gotten from the sale of gas turbines by Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, who was the immediate past governor of the state.
Wike was quoted to have sad that the state is giving the federal government 7 days ultimatum to return the money.
“The money in question belongs to the former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. We want to confirm that the houses in Ikoyi also belong to Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
If you recollect in 2015, we said that gas turbines built by Former Governor Peter Odili were sold to Sahara Energy, business partners of Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi at $319million.
That money was used to sponsor the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2015 general elections. From the date of sale of the gas turbines to May 29, 2015, the money depleted from $319million to $204,000. What was stashed at the Ikoyi residence was part of that fund.
We have facts to prove that the said money belongs to the Rivers State Government. The Federal Government must return our money.
As I speak to you, the Federal Government is so embarrassed that this has happened. All the stories that the money belongs to the NIA are fake.
We are giving them seven days to return our money. Otherwise, we would take legal action to recover our money. $43million will help us complete several projects. We need that money for projects,” he said.
Wike also called for investigation into the ownership of the money, adding that a panel of inquiry should be set up and it should sit publicly.
He said that until the federal government stops disturbing the state, it will continue to be thrown into frustration.
Amaechi was reported to have denied having anything to do with the money or the building/apartment where it was found.
Sahara Reporters, in a report published Friday night said that the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, Ayodele Oke has claimed that the funds belonged to his agency.
Oke said this in a meeting which was attended by the EFCC Chairman, Ibrahim Magu; Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami, and the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno.
An NIA source told PUNCH that before the EFCC stormed the Ikoyi property on Wednesday, Oke had told him that the apartment is NIA’s safe house. However, Magu was said to have gone ahead to use minimal force to break into the apartment and the fireproof cabinets where the monies were stashed.
“The money belongs to the NIA. It is for covert operations and security projects covering a period of years.The DG has met with the President, he has explained everything to him. The President asked him to put everything into writing and he has done so.
The entire chain of events was a big misunderstanding. That place was an NIA safe house and you have to understand that the NIA carries out discreet investigation in conjunction with many agencies across the world.
On the day the EFCC men gathered around the house, the NIA reached out to Magu to explain to him that the money was the property of the Federal Government and the place was an NIA safe house. Unfortunately, the EFCC still went ahead to break down the doors,” the source was quoted as saying.
While no official statement has been released by the NIA, various reports have claimed that the money was released to the NIA during the previous administration for several “covert operations”.
The NIA is the agency charged with foreign intelligence operations.
According to Sahara Reporters, a source said that when Buhari was informed of the claims that the money belonged to the NIA, the president was “alarmed at such claim saying that he did not expect any Nigerian government agency to keep government funds in a private house, no matter the nature of its operations.”
Femi Adesina, President Buhari’s Media Adviser when contacted to comment on the issue said: “This is not a matter for the Presidency. It is a security issue and I will advise you to get across to the agencies mentioned.”
Buhari, it was gathered, told the NIA DG to apply for fresh funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for their operations and the seized funds should remain in the CBN where the EFCC had deposited it following a temporary forfeiture order.
A Federal High Court in Lagos had ruled that the money be temporarily forfeited to the federal government and the owner(s) of the monies should appear before it before May 5 to say why it should not be permanently forfeited to FG.
As it stands, ownership of the money remains a mystery to Nigerians, and no official statement has been released by any agency of the federal government in that regard.

Here’s the reaction of Lorna Tolentino to the Coco Martin versus Robin Padilla issue
Award-winning actress Lorna Tolentino shared her reaction to the Coco Martin versus Robin Padilla issue.
Recalling, the issue between Coco and Ronin started when the latter accused the Ang Probinsyano actor of pouring water to an audio man who was sleeping during their taping. This statement of Robin came after he counter-attacked the celebrities who showed support for ABS-CBN franchise renewal.
Amid this issue, just like the camp of Coco, Lorna Tolentino also denied the allegations against the Kapamilya actor. She said that she did not see any incident like “pangbubuhos ng tubig“. The actress added that she was the one who poured water to her co-star in one of her scenes.
During a recent interview, she was asked her opinion regarding the Coco Martin versus Robin Padilla issue. Lorna said that she is hopeful that the two actors will reconcile soon, based on the article from Bandera. “Lahat naman na mga away ng mga artista sa showbiz, later on, merong pagbabati,” she said.
“Kasi, iisa lang ang linya ng trabaho ninyo, e. So, nagkakaintindihan naman. Sa ngayon siguro, hindi pa sila nagkakausap, pero magkakaintindihan din sila,” the award-winning actress added.
She also said that if her late husband Rudy Fernandez is still alive now, he could be a peacemaker between Robin and Coco so that they will reconcile already. Meanwhile, Lorna Tolentino shared that her “kontrabida” role in Ang Probinsyano was initially intended for 10 days of airing only. However, she reached a year in the primetime series, based on the article.
The actress said that her role was so “draining”, however, her co-stars were assuring her that her evil character is a reflection of many people’s attitudes.
What can you say about this?

Within PE4Trans project we invite citizens to share their opinions and dreams about public transport operating in neighbourhood area.
We will use the methodology of citizen panels, composed of some 20-25 citizens who form a heterogeneous group in age, gender, training, occupation ... in order to collect as many sensitivities and opinions as possible.
The first of these 5 meetings will take place at the Innovation Agency on November 21 between 9:00 and 17:30. No special knowledge about public transport is needed, the fact of being a neighbor of Valladolid or its metropolitan area is reason enough to be a potential expert for the Panel, a space where to present the ideas and suggestions on this subject.
The meeting on November 21 will focus on describing the different views that participants have on sustainable urban mobility in general and public transport in particular, discussing possible future scenarios.

Senior kicker Cairo Santos earned C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the third time in his career.
Nov. 25, 2013
New Orleans - Tulane senior All-America placekicker Cairo Santos has been named the Conference USA Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts in the Green Wave's 45-3 victory over UTEP last week at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
This is the second weekly award of the season for Santos, who also earned the honor on Oct. 14, and also received the accolade as a junior.
A native of Brasilia, Brazil and the reigning Lou Groza Award winner, Santos registered a 39-yard field goal, his 14th of the year, and converted all six of his PATs for nine points.
Kicking to UTEP's Autrey Golden, who entered last week's game ranked 14th nationally in kickoff return average (27.9 avg.) and second with two kickoff return touchdowns, Santos limited Golden to one return on the day by sending six of his seven kickoffs into the back of the end zone. Golden finished with one return on the day for 22 yards. Santos has knocked 41 of his 54 kickoffs this season into the back of the end zone.
Santos' effort helped Tulane to its largest margin of victory on a Conference USA game, kept TU in contention for the C-USA West Division title and assured the Wave its first bowl appearance in 11 years.
Santos is one of six Green Wave players to receive the league's weekly honor this season and the group has combined to win the award eight times, including redshirt freshman quarterback Devin Powell, offense (Oct. 14), sophomore cornerback Jordan Batiste, defense (Sept. 30), sophomore cornerback Lorenzo Doss, defense (Oct. 7), senior nickleback Derrick Strozier, special teams (Oct. 7); defense (Oct. 14), junior safety Sam Scofield, defense (Oct. 28) and Santos, special teams (Nov. 25/Oct. 14).
The Green Wave will conclude the regular season at Rice on Saturday, Nov. 30 at Rice Stadium in Houston, Texas. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. and the game will be broadcast nationally on Fox College Sports.
For tickets to any Tulane Athletics event, please contact the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.

Having phobia about sandwiches might seem absurd, but it's a real thing. It began with a video, filmed a few years ago, in which British pop star Jesy Nelson admitted that “the thought of slimy stuff on bread” makes her feel sick—and the Internet's reaction was less "what the hell?" and more "I'm not alone!"
There are a whole lot of sandwich-phobes out there
That clip sent me on a deep-dive into Twitter (I read as far back as the Dark Ages—2011!), where I found more and more reason to believe that the fear of sandwiches isn't actually that uncommon. One tweet reads, “Ugh. Having sandwichphobia makes outdoor events so difficult,” while another shames her friend for being reduced to tears by the mere presence of a sandwich, and one woman regrets telling her employers about her fear. These aren't isolated examples—there are hundreds just like them. What seemed, upon first glance, like a faked, “look-how-quirky-I-am” affectation began to seem like a legitimate phobia.
There are a ton of sandwich-phobe confessions out there, like this blog post admitting, "I hate smell of sandwiches, I hate the taste, I hate the way they feel and I believe bread should be on its own without anything added... I dreaded work lunch because almost everyone eats sandwich and it makes my stomach turn. Funny how food can ruin your lunch hour." One mother shares a story about her kid's food phobia—"My daughter is afraid of sandwiches. She will eat a piece of bread, but put two pieces together with anything in between and she starts screaming and backing away like it’s a spider.”
This all had me feeling sleuth-y, so I asked the Facebook universe if anyone had a similar fear—and my DMs blew up. One friend told me, "If I smell sandwiches, I will revert to my fight-or-flight instincts and walk the opposite direction—fast. I remember trying to explain my weird feelings about sandwiches to some girl in middle school, and she went around telling people I was doing it for attention. But you can't fake weird shit like this. I feel like I'm missing out on an entire type of cuisine, but also, I really don't understand why anyone likes those things."
Why do sandwich fears happen to good people?
Clinical psychologist (and pastrami sandwich enthusiast) Matthew Goldfine suspects that, for the most part, these admissions seem to be “more of an aversive food reaction as opposed to a food phobia.” Someone with an aversion can live normally in a sandwich-filled world, while someone with a phobia will go out of their way to escape potential sandwich situations.

Dhaka, Oct 4: Cricketer Shahadat Hossain’s wife was arrested on charges of torturing their housemaid, a minor girl, here on Sunday. Earlier, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) banned the paceman from all forms of cricket until the charges against him and his wife are settled, saying that the reports of the couple torturing a minor were “utterly embarrassing”.
Hossain and his wife have been missing and on the run since a case was registered against them under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act, reports bdnews24.com. Miprur police officer Bhuiyan Mahbub Hasan said that Jesmin Jahan was arrested from her father’s home in the capital’s Malibagh area early on Sunday.
Hossain filed a police complaint on September 6 claiming his maid had gone missing. But several hours later, the 11-year-old girl alleged the cricketer and his wife used to torture her. Police said one man, Khandkar Mozzamel Haque, found the girl at Mirpur and took her to the local police.
Haque later filed the case. Hossain last played for Bangladesh in May against Pakistan. He went off the field on the first day of first Test following a leg injury. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had him treated in Australia and he was undergoing a rehabilitation programme. IANS

With the extensive preliminary investigations and controversies surrounding several factors of the Boston Marathon bombing earlier in April, many questions are in the minds of law officials, terrorist experts, sports participants and the residents of Boston and cities nationwide. Public events like marathons are a breeding ground for masses of people, yet no one suspected such an event would occur in one of the country’s most historic cities at one of the most renowned annual events. We know now that hundreds were injured and lost limbs, young people died, and others were left wondering exactly what happened at an event that normally brings together top athletes and their families taking part in the festivities.
As a result of this tragic event, it’s been publicized that security measures will be heightened at other marathons and public venues for months, or even years, to come. Travelers who may be further inconvenienced by longer waits in line can also be assured that their safety will continue to be in the forefront. Experts are trained to be aware of actions and conditions that might predict a bombing when they have a suspect on their immediate radar, but what about the common person? Is there a way to know that a bomb scare or attack will occur? What should you do when a bomb scare happens at your place of employment or your child’s school?
Bomb scares are not always a cause for panic if one knows what to do. Through the direction of specially trained professionals, there are some actions that a bomb squad will communicate in an effort to keep everyone safe and out of the line of fire. For instance, you may be instructed to:
- Move away from the threatened area. (While not advised, we witnessed the kindness of others when we learned that many spectators ran toward the areas of the Boston bombing in an effort to heroically help those who were injured.)
- Leave it to experts to determine the validity of the scare; don’t quickly assume it’s a hoax or, conversely, an immediate threat.
- Never try to detonate a bomb yourself if you have found one, or suspect that you found what looks like an explosive device.
- Never use lighters, electrical equipment, or machinery around an area where a suspected bomb is located.
- Do your best to remember the scene or recall anyone you may have seen at the time, before or after the bomb or the threat. We have seen the public images of the suspects of the Boston Marathon bombing, which surfaced immediately from others who had cameras on hand taking photos of their loved ones at the event.
- Stay calm, particularly in the presence of children.
If you or someone you know was injured at the Boston Marathon bombing, or other area where a bomb was located, the event could be more serious than meets the eye. National and city officials are just a few of those who will be contacted by your attorney, in addition to witnesses, medical personnel and those who may have known about the attack. It is in your best interest to seek legal counsel immediately with a firm who can best handle a personal injury or death lawsuit.


The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ (ABS’) website was taken offline following a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack during census night on 9 August 2016.
As Computer Weekly previously reported, the ABS triggered a privacy debate after it emerged that the citizen data it collects will be held for four years, with the ABS saying this would enable it to build a clearer statistical picture of the country.
According to an interview on ABC News, reported in The Guardian, the site sustained a malicious attack from overseas.
“The data is secure and we expect to be in a situation soon to inform the public when the site will be ready again,” David Kalisch, ABS chief statistician, told the ABC news radio site.
Australians can choose between filling out their census online using a 12-digit identification number or calling a phone hotline to get a paper form, but privacy campaigners have warned that the data collected enables the government to create a profile of Australian citizens.
Veteran Australian privacy advocate Roger Clarke warned on his website that data from the census and other ABS surveys would be linked and that “additional data will be expropriated from other sources and added to each person’s record”.
Revolution IT, which was responsible for the performance testing of the website, said its model of peak load on census night was based on 250 submissions per second and allowed for an average sustained peak of up to 350 submissions per second (with a peak of 400 users per second) to ensure that there was sufficient capacity.
The census site stress tests did not take into account denial of service attacks. The company said: “DDoS attempts were not part of the performance testing and would have been a security testing consideration, which was not part of Revolution IT’s mandate.”
Read more about DDoS attacks
- UK domain name and hosting service hit by distributed denial of service attack, underling the importance of adequate mitigation systems.
- DDoS attack data collected by Kaspersky Lab shows a greater proportion of attacks are coming from hijacked Linux servers and attacks are tending to last longer.
- DDoS attacks have become a commodity, and are available openly on professional services online marketplaces for as little as $5 an hour, say security researcher.
ABS said the site was taken offline as a security precaution and so did not crash or fail because of the number of users.
A sustained attack can put systems under extreme stress, and best practice dictates taking the systems offline during such attacks to avoid any long-term damage.
IBM, which was the lead IT contractor for the Australian census project, was attacked directly by Australia prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, for the failure.
In a statement, IBM said: “IBM’s priority over the past two days was to work with the ABS to restore the census site. We are committed to our role in the delivery of this project.”
However, industry commentators have questioned why the site, which is believed to be built on IBM WebSphere, was run on the IBM SoftLayer cloud, rather than the public cloud, such as Amazon Web Services.

If you want to recognize where to meet women in the city, try going to bookstores. Women usually go to bookstores for a various reasons. You can also ask them of their weekend Look At This plans. A lot of them love to enjoy chick films, so you can chat with them about all those. There are tons of women at bookstores. And, if you want to be sure to draw them, become a member of a meetup group for a particular hobby.
Coffee shops can also be a great place to connect with women. This place can be low-key plus the atmosphere is mostly relaxed. You might meet girls that are there to get an extended time period. Plus, you’re more likely to get a prospect to talk to women of all ages because they’re generally hanging out and not just looking to meet new people. In addition to that, coffee retailers are the excellent place to practice basic public skills. So , whether if you’re a man buying partner or maybe a guy buying date, you can create it work for you.
If you’re considering politics or wine, make an effort volunteering with regards to local job hopefuls. You’ll meet up with a lot of interesting ladies in these occasions, and you will not likely spend money. Another free destination to meet females is a tai-chi class. It has the not specifically a man’s paradise, but you can certainly meet many women in a yoga exercises class. Although a doing yoga class is normally not a “men’s heaven, inch it’s one of the better places to meet up with women inside the city.
If you do not drink, there are numerous other places to fulfill women. It’s not hard to bond with like-minded people in these locations. Women that don’t drink are more likely to become into a relationship and bond with you. Relationships will be healthy when ever both parties reveal similar morals and values. Because of this , it’s best to avoid drinking and also other activities that require alcohol. If you can’t participate in a bar, try going somewhere else.
Another great location to meet women of all ages is at your dog park. Doggie parks great places to meet girls, since the mix of people ready to play with their dogs naturally lends itself to conversations between strangers. Pet owners are also generally fun and lively, so you could meet several interesting girls at a dog park. You will discover women speaking about their puppies and requesting them regarding theirs, that can naturally flow in other subject areas.
Dating applications are one more place to meet up with women. You’ll want to monitor users carefully, while not every girl using seeing apps is looking to get long-term connections or matrimony. You’ll have to view the girls’ profiles tightly to avoid simply being mistaken for the potential spouse. There are many other areas to meet females, and most programs have filtration that allow you to narrow down the girls corresponding to your tastes. But , for anybody who is a self conscious introvert, there’s no have to fear this choice.
Another spot to meet girls is by helping out. Volunteering can help you satisfy women who discuss your interests. Not only is it a fun activity, volunteering as well provides a more relaxed environment and minimizes the pressure of cool approach. Recharging options a great way to relinquish to the community and make any difference in the lives of others. That way, you can find the perfect particular date in a all natural setting. If you’re wondering where to meet women of all ages in the city, here are some suggestions that will help you start.
Churches – While many chapels have public programs, as well . can be cumbersome, especially considering that the pool of women is often small. Church you programs can also build drama – if you’re looking for a long-term marriage. You’ll have to see the woman about Sunday morning hours, which can be cumbersome. If you’re not comfortable seeing women in churches, you should reconsider this kind of idea. Regardless of the pitfalls, cathedral singles courses can give you a chance to meet a girl.

The Chronicles of Spellborn
||This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: does not meet project guidelines. (February 2011)|
|The Chronicles of Spellborn|
|Engine||Unreal Engine 2.5 (mod.)|
|Release date(s)||November 27, 2008 UK Only
US April 23, 2009
|Genre(s)||Massively multiplayer online role-playing game|
The Chronicles of Spellborn is an massively multiplayer online role-playing game initially released on November 27, 2008, developed by Spellborn International and distributed by Frogster Interactive, Mindscape and Acclaim Games; set in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. Spellborn used the Unreal Engine, featured a European Art approach and contained notable contributions from Jesper Kyd. In August 2010, the game was shutdown.
In June 2009, the developers of Spellborn, Spellborn Works, went bankrupt. One of the publishers, Acclaim, announced the following month that the game would be re-developed as a free-to-play game supported by microtransactions. The new version would be released sometime after 2010, and until then the free-to-play version would remain active. The game servers were shut down in August 2010. As of October 2014, Spellborn has not been re-released by any publisher.
Spellborn consisted largely of conventional MMORPG gameplay, in which the player plays a character (avatar), and explores the gameworld in order to gain experience points and advance in level. In exploring the gameworld, the player encounters quests, the most important part of Spellborn's gameplay. The game had about a thousand of these quests. Completing quests was the primary means of earning experience points. Repeatedly killing creatures ("Grinding" in gaming jargon) to gain levels was not a practical option in Spellborn. Separate from other story-driven quests were the Ancestral Quests, which allowed the player to take the role of a major character in Spellborn's history to accomplish a specific requirement. Players needed to complete certain Ancestral Quests in order to advance their character's story arc.
Spellborn incorporated a first person targeting system. In this system, the player selected an available skill to use, while aiming at the opponent. The player could also use two skills at the same time to create combinations.
In Spellborn the player could choose Humans and Daevis as race, who can become all classes and feature no special advantages or flaws. At character creation the player could also select one of three archetypes, which then spread into three different classes each at level 5.
Every class got access to several different skills, which could be used in combat, but due to the Skilldeck system players can only choose between a few at any time. Every skill a character had learned in a career was listed in the skill book. Some skills were unique to certain classes, while others were shared between them. Characters learned new skills as they increased in level. At maximum level a character could also learn the skills of the other archetypes (but not classes) by exploring certain places in the game's setting.
These skills all increased with power along the attribute they depended on — either Body, Mind or Focus. This means skills learned at an early stage could be useful at later moments as well.
Unlike most games of its type, armor and weapons in Spellborn didn't provide any statistical improvements to the player's character. Instead, they served aesthetic purposes. Players could choose their character's appearance at the beginning of the game, and could change it later by using different items with higher requirements. Players could enhance their gear with Sigils. These enhancements were interchangeable between different items.
Since Spellborn focuses in a large part on doing quests, the game provided a certain amount of background information for the players. Spellborn's fictional history is divided into eight ages; players enter the world at its current age known as "The Time of the Enclave", 998 years after the shattering of the world. The game's world is divided into Shards of rock, remnants of the ancient world that are inhabited by the survivors of the cataclysm. Four main Shards were available for exploration by players.
The player base was initially enthusiastic at the announcement that Spellborn would become free-to-play. However, Acclaim made little progress with the game. The game download, patcher and game client itself ceased to work, causing players to use third party downloads. In addition, a bug appeared that required all players above level nine to change passwords every day or be unable to enter the game. Acclaim refused to respond to tickets posted inquiring into when Spellborn would be re-released, causing some players to believe that the game would not return. Acclaim sold the game rights to Playdom, who then sold it to Disney, leaving the game with no support, administrators or moderators. Players who tried to contact all companies concerned - Spellborn NV, Frogster, Acclaim, Playdom and Disney received no replies. In August 2010, it was revealed to the media that the game would be closed down at the end of that month. As a result, Spellborn subscribers and fans started a petition to try to keep the game online. However, Acclaim closed its doors on August 27, 2010, and all of its games were shut down [note 1] An unverified announcement shortly before Acclaim's closing stated that the game would be relaunched by an unknown publisher sometime in early 2011.

Frank Sartor’s proposed reforms to the NSW Planning system continue to amaze those who have enough time to understand them.
In the over 200 pages of amendments there are many gems to be discovered, most of which amount to a proliferation of new statutory bodies and an expansion of Ministerial power and influence.
The original 1979 Act had around 150 sections. Over the years, regular reform efforts have added over 250 sections. The latest reform will add around another 150 sections, as well as making major amendments to a number of existing provisions.
The original Act divided powers between the Minister, the Council, and the Land and Environment Court. There was also a statutory body called the Commissions of Inquiry that conducted independent inquiries.
Get Crikey FREE to your inbox every weekday morning with the Crikey Worm.
The latter body proved to be too independent so it is to be abolished by Sartor’s reform Bill, with its tenure protected Commissioner being sacked by Parliament.
If the Parliament are silly enough to pass the Bill (the Opposition may be brave enough to ignore the instructions of the developer’s lobby, but the key numbers in the Upper House are held by the two members of the Shooters Party (2.5% of the vote), who are awaiting the Minister’s approval for a large noisy gun firing range to be imposed on the outraged burgers of the Southern Highlands), then, in addition to the original Minister, Council and Court, NSW taxpayers and council ratepayers will be paying the fees for Planning Arbitrators, Planning Administrators, Planning Assessment Panels, Joint Regional Planning Panels and the Planning Assessment Commissioners.
The main purpose of this myriad of bodies is to take decisions away from councils and the Court, although the PAC will do some of Minister’s work. His file reading time has increased substantially since the passing of the previous Minister’s reforms, which allowed the Minister to approve “major” developments, even if they did not comply with the planning controls or the provisions of environment or heritage legislation that apply to everyone else’s developments not considered by the Minister to be major.
Except for the minority members of the Joint Regional Planning Panels, which are appointed by councils, the Minister will appoint all the members of these additional statutory bodies. With the proposed Planning Arbitrators, he will need to appoint well over 150 independent up-right experts who will not have conflicts of interest. They will all be part-timers, presumably most earning their living as private consultants always looking for the next job (although developers and ex-politicians also can be appointed). With the exception of the members of the PAC, the Minister for no stated reason can dismiss all those he appointed.
Before deciding to appoint a Planning Administrator, or Planning Assessment Panel, or JRPP, to undertake a council’s planning and assessment role, the Minister is supposed to take certain matters into account — like that the council has been slack or naughty. Fine, except that the reforms propose that the Minister should be protected from legal challenges to his decision. So he could shift powers from councils for weak or wrong reasons and be safe from the Court’s review.
The council powers that can be transferred to these ministerial appointed part-time consultants include the power to re-classify council’s community lands (parks and reserves) to operational land and therefore be sold off. Effectively, this would give some future Planning Minister (surely not the current minister!) the power to appoint mates to a panel who will then proceed to approve another mate’s development, making all the necessary changes to rezonings and density standards and throwing some council parkland in with the bargain.
Welcome to NSW — the efficient and transparent State.


The Tigers have suddenly jumped out to a 2-0 lead in this ALCS Game 1 Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
Austin Jackson opened the top of the sixth inning with a triple into the nook of seats along the first base line then scored when Prince Fielder singled following an intentional walk of Miguel Cabrera.
In the next at-bat Delmon Young punched a single to shallow right, scoring Cabrera easily from second.
Tigers right-hander Doug Fister experienced serious command issues in his first two frames and ran into some trouble in the bottom of the sixth, but he fanned Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Russell Martin to escape that particular threat.
The top of the seventh inning is just about to get underway at Yankee Stadium. Detroit is batting.
The Cubs soundly defeated the Cardinals on Monday night, 10-2, sending their magic number down to one. They will try to clinch the NL Central on Tuesday with another win against the Cardinals. Alternatively, if they lose, they can still clinch if the Brewers also lose on Tuesday.
The Cubs, of course, won the Central last year en route to winning their first World Series since 1908. It wasn’t nearly as easy this year as the club was below .500 entering June and was exactly at .500 entering July. A 16-8 July, 17-12 August, and 15-8 September have helped put the Cubs back in position to return to the postseason.
Not to be forgotten, the Cardinals were eliminated from NL Central contention with Monday’s loss. Now they have their sights set on the second NL Wild Card slot and currently trail the Rockies in that race.
The matchups for Tuesday’s action:
Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union Tribune reports that Padres pitcher Carter Capps will undergo surgery this offseason to address thoracic outlet syndrome, which doctors believe caused the right-hander’s blood clots. The Padres hope to have him ready by spring training next year.
Capps, 27, underwent Tommy John surgery last year and didn’t debut this season until August 7. He made 11 relief appearances, yielding nine runs on 12 hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 12 1/3 innings. He went back on the DL on September 12 due to the blood clot issue.
The Padres acquired Capps from the Marlins last July in the Andrew Cashner trade which ended up having a lot of moving parts. Capps will enter his third and final year of arbitration eligibility this offseason. It’s quite possible the Padres choose to non-tender him.

Bunny costumes are a popular Halloween sight and are worn by children and adults alike. Each year, the plethora of costumes includes sweet bunnies, sexy bunnies, funny bunnies and vampire bunnies, but many wearers do not bother with the finishing touch: face paint. Bunny face paint is quick and easy and can turn this year's Halloween costume from great to outstanding in a matter of minutes.
The sweet bunny is ideal for babies and children under 5. This look requires minimal paint and is quick and easy to create. Apply black face paint to the underside of the nose to cover the nostrils and over the eyebrows. Paint three whiskers about 1 inch long on either side of the nose with one adjacent to the nose, one angled up and the other angled downward. Apply a circle of red or pink face paint on the tip of the nose to finish off the look. The wearer will look as if she is a cute baby bunny.
The sexy bunny look is perfect when paired with a sparkly dress and high heels and is based on the look of the character Jessica Rabbit from the 1988 movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." Apply a layer of foundation to match your skin tone and paint the underside of the nose black. Draw three whiskers on either side of the nose with one adjacent to the nose, one angled up and the other angled downward. Line the eyes with a wide black eyeliner pencil on top and bottom lids and top off the look with bright red lipstick covered with sparkly gloss.
The funny bunny is a great conversation starter and is created to entice a laugh from all who see it. Apply black paint to the underside of the nose to cover the nostrils and paint the lips black as well. Draw five brown dots on each cheek to look like freckles as well as three black whiskers. Finish the look with a pair of false bunny teeth.
The scary bunny paint scheme will transform you into a dark-sided bunny in no time. Paint the entire face white and the underside of the nose black to cover the nostrils and apply three black whiskers to each cheek. Cover the lips and eyebrows with black face paint as well. Use a paint brush to draw three drops of red blood on one side of the mouth that starts at the corner and goes downward toward the chin. Finish the look with a pair of vampire teeth for a costume your friends will be talking about for years to come.

In this episode, Ayesha discussed Gilead Science’s lawsuit against a network of distributors selling counterfeits of the company’s best-selling HIV drugs Biktarvy and Descovy. The drugs were being sold in pharmacies across several states. Gilead said it had been working with the US marshals and local law enforcement and had so far seized more than 85,000 counterfeit drug bottles. The editorial team talked about the tremendous dangers of counterfeit drugs with respect to patient safety and that stricter measures, including better monitoring and tracking of drug documentation to uncover fakes as well as audits at pharmacies, should be implemented to quickly flag counterfeit products.
The editorial team also discussed Menarini Diagnostics’ new PCR-based COVID-19 test that can detect all the variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Omicron. It is a rapid test that can produce highly accurate results in about two hours. The CE-marked test is currently available in Europe. The team discussed the continued need for COVID-19 tests in the face of shortages of both PCR and rapid antigen tests due to the rapidly circulating Omicron variant.

- Are eggs a complete or incomplete protein?
Why are beans and rice a complete protein?
Rice and beans Both brown and white rice are low in lysine but high in methionine.
In contrast, beans are high in lysine but low in methionine.
As such, combining them allows you to get enough of each, as well as the remaining seven essential amino acids, to count as a complete protein..
Is the protein in oats complete?
Protein. Oats are a good source of quality protein at 11–17% of dry weight, which is higher than most other grains ( 22 ). The major protein in oats — at 80% of the total content — is avenalin, which isn’t found in any other grain but is similar to legume proteins.
Is peanut butter a complete food?
Peanut butter is a relatively unprocessed food. It’s basically just peanuts, often roasted, that are ground until they turn into a paste. However, this doesn’t apply to many commercial brands of peanut butter that contain various added ingredients, such as sugar, vegetable oils and even trans fat.
Is oatmeal a complete food?
Steel-cut oats are groats that have been sliced up into small pieces instead of being rolled. But regardless of which you choose, Slavin says all types of oatmeal are considered whole grains, and all should be more or less equal in terms of their basic nutritional properties.
Is peanut butter a good source of protein?
Peanut butter is rich in heart-healthy fats and is a good source of protein, which can be helpful for vegetarians looking to include more protein in their diets. A 2-tablespoon serving of peanut butter contains up to 8 grams of protein and 2 to 3 grams of fiber.
Is the protein in broccoli complete?
You’ll also have to turn to other protein sources to make sure you’re eating “complete” proteins, those that contain enough of the eight essential amino acids, May says. Broccoli, like most other vegetables, doesn’t contain enough of each of those acids, so it’s referred to as an “incomplete” protein.
Do potatoes and beans make a complete protein?
Incomplete Protein Myth Explained It turns out that potatoes and rice, and most every vegetable you can think of, do have all of the different amino acids. The myth of the incomplete protein got started from comparing the amounts of these essential amino acids in vegetarian sources with those in meats.
What is the difference between an incomplete protein and a complete protein?
Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids, whereas incomplete proteins are missing one or more. It can be hard to know if you’re getting good quality protein in your diet. INSIDER found out what the differences are between complete and incomplete proteins .
Is peanut butter a complete or incomplete protein?
Complete proteins, which are found in animal products such as meat, contain all the essential amino acids. Incomplete proteins, which tend to come from plant sources such as beans, do not. Although peanut butter and bread on their own are incomplete proteins, they can be used as complementary proteins.
What makes peanut butter a complete protein?
But if you ate your toast with peanut butter, it would be a complete protein, meaning all essential amino acids are delivered within one meal. Other examples are corn tortillas with black beans, bean soup and crackers, rice and lentils, and wheat noodles with peanuts and/or peanut sauce.
What foods are complete proteins?
Which foods are complete proteins? Animal proteins are complete, including meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy.
Are eggs a complete or incomplete protein?
Complete proteins have all the essential amino acids our bodies need. Animal-based protein like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, and cheese are considered complete proteins. Quinoa and soy are plant-based complete proteins. Incomplete proteins don’t include all the essential amino acids.

Ruling against Archstone in case over apartment amenity fees
In a closely-watched case, a federal judge has ruled that one-time, nonrefundable amenity fees charged by Colorado apartment giant Archstone violate state law in Massachusetts.
U.S. District Court Judge William Young found in favor of a Reading, Mass., couple that filed suit against Arapahoe County-based Archstone for charging the $475 fee at its Reading complex. The fee covers the use of the pool, gym and outdoor grill.
“Archstone Reading exceeded the charges allowed by the Security Deposit Statute [in Massachusetts],” Young wrote in his decision.
Young found that under Massachusetts law, landlords can charge tenants only for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit and a key installation fee.
The judge approved the case for class action status, which could put Archstone on the hook for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in refunds and damages to tenants. A trial on money damages is scheduled for June.
The ruling applies only to Massachusetts.
(The Boston Business Journal has more in the case and chances for a successful appeal here, available to subscribers only.)
