People are often wary of fusion food or restaurants that serve up two cuisines, assuming that neither are likely to be done very well.
But Indian Chinese might just change your mind.
Chinese food is reportedly the most popular foreign cuisine in India, but it's not Chinese food as it's known in China.
Indian Chinese food, also known as Indo-Chinese, was born when Chinese migrants settled in Calcutta and adapted their cuisine to suit local tastes with the addition of Indian spices.
And its popularity has spread around the world.
Amar Harrar has taken his love of Indian Chinese food all the way to Staffordshire, in the UK. He is one of the families who has opened up his kitchen on SBS’s forthcoming series Secrets of the Kitchen (Thursdays 3.25pm), making spicy Indo-Chinese ribs for his family.
"Chinese food in India is, in my opinion, much tastier than it is in China," the 61-year-old says.
"The Chinese came across, they came to India and settled in India. They noticed that the Indians liked their spices a little bit more than they have in China, and this is one of those recipes that's been adapted."
His version is full of cumin and chilli powder, to give it the kick he loves. Other spices that are commonly added to Indian Chinese food include coriander seeds, turmeric, dry red chillis, black peppercorns and yoghurt.
In Australia, Melbourne's Dosa Hut, and Sydney's Indian Chopsticks and Dragon House, are some of the Indian Chinese restaurants serving the kind of Chinese food you would find in restaurants or street stalls in Mumbai or Calcutta.
"Our Chinese food is modified to make it more suit the Indian palate because we use ginger, garlic, chilli and some other Indian spices," Dragon House co-owner Mary Li tells SBS Food.
"The dishes have been changed around, and we make a lot of specialised Indian-style Chinese vegetarian dishes for the Indian festivals, both vegan and non-vegan vegetarian dishes.
"Most of the Chinese restaurants in India would do this, and we have added our own spin to the dishes."
Li says 85 per cent of their customers are people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Fiji and Sri Lanka, while the remaining 15 per cent tend to be Australian, Korean, Japanese and Chinese people who are keen to try something new.
"They think it's really tasty and nice, it's different from the normal Chinese restaurants," Li says.
According to Smart Cooky, some classic Chinese Indian dishes include chilli chicken or the vegetarian version chilli paneer (using a paste of hot chilli, garlic, ginger and spices), Manchurian (there are chicken, paneer, gobi, mutton and fish versions), date pancakes (fried layers of dough stuffed with dates), and fried rice (which is loaded up with red chilli powder, garam masala and green chillis).
The India Times explains that many Indians are unaware that the 'Manchurian with noodles' they order from a street vendor's stall is named after a people from the north-eastern part of China, writing: "Perhaps in a parallel universe, the Chinese have developed a cuisine where Indian food is suited to their tastes. I wouldn't be surprised if they love sweet and spicy chicken skewers called 'Punjabi'."
Secrets Of The Kitchen takes us into the homes of eight families to reveal what really happens in the kitchen. This three-part documentary airs 3.25pm Thursdays on SBS then on SBS On Demand.


Malcolm McLaren Madame Butterfly:
That is truly one of the greatest pop songs of all time. It elevated radio to a new level in 1984.
Malcolm McLaren - who died of cancer yesterday, if you did not hear the news - didn't just make music. He identified, enhanced and promoted subcultures. It was Malcolm, not Madonna, who first saw the pop music potential of voguing. His track Deep In Vogue is just as good as her own Vogue, and it actually features the voices of same voguers featured in Jennie Livingson's famous documentary Paris Is Burning (rent it).
There will be many tributes to McLaren over the next few days, but the one I recommend is Annabella Lwin's candid piece for Entertainment Weekly. Malcolm discovered her and made her the lead singer of his controversial pop group Bow Wow Wow, a group that my friends and I adored back in the early 80's when we were just getting into music.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill.— When Eckley Scholar Ryan Schonert ’16 (Fairmount, Ill.) asks his faculty mentors a question regarding his project, they’ve often answered “we’re not sure.”
Because when an undertaking involves replicating dust found light years away, in the outer reaches of space, there are a lot of unknowns. The interstellar dust – gathered in “clouds” and unobservable with conventional telescopes – is comprised of solid grains that absorb visible light.
“Although these dust grains block visible light, they emit thermal infrared radiation,” said Schonert, a chemistry major. “These infrared wavelengths are useful because even though we can’t see past the dust clouds, we still get information being radiated from these areas.”
That information can be difficult to obtain. The dust itself is almost impossible to collect, so it must be replicated under conditions mimicking the environment as close as possible.
“By comparing the wavelength of light emitted by interstellar dust clouds with the light emitted by dust synthesized in the lab, we would potentially be able to identify physical and chemical characteristics of interstellar dust,” said Schonert.
Part of Schonert’s Eckley work is to develop a new procedure for producing iron silicate dusts in the lab. The independence to figure out how to do that has been the best part of the project, according to Schonert. Associate Professor of Physics Thushara Perera “tasked me with making the dust samples and figuring out how to test them, and it’s been a great experience to prepare me for work after graduation,” said Schonert, who is considering the field of forensic chemistry. “My favorite part of this research has been when my professors have said to me, ‘we don’t know the answer to your question.’ They wanted me to try to figure something out, and if I wasn’t making progress on how to figure out an apparatus, for example, or a method that was giving us problems, then we would figure it out together.”
“The main reason Ryan has posed so many open-ended questions is because he has developed an aptitude for figuring things out on his own and has a fearlessness for trying new solutions to a problem,” said Perera, who is Schonert’s faculty mentor. “These strengths are crucial for success in a research environment, such as in graduate school or industry.”
Perera is currently building a custom Fourier transform spectrometer, an endeavor funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Information obtained using the spectrometer is expected to lead to a greater understanding of the conditions that prevail in those dusty regions of space.
In order to obtain the data, the dust has to be in the form of a polyethylene pellet so it can be inserted into the spectrometer. Schonert has been charged with developing a method to do that, too.
He has been working on aspects of the project for more than a year. After producing a magnesium silicate dust last summer, using published procedures under the guidance of Chair and Professor of Chemistry Rebecca Roesner, Schonert was ready this year to forge new paths. Roesner is also providing guidance to Schonert for his Eckley project.
“Ryan’s work crosses the disciplines of physics, astronomy and chemistry, and that makes it exciting,” said Perera. “If not for the neighborly atmosphere between small departments under the same roof [in the Center for Natural Science], I could not imagine enlisting a chemistry major such as Ryan and collaborating so closely with a chemistry colleague like Professor Roesner on this work.”
Last summer’s research is best described as learning how to do what had already been done, and getting acquainted with the project, Schonert said. “This summer it’s all new – making new samples, figuring out how to make a matrix to make the pellets. It’s really exploring new ground to see what happens, and that’s been very exciting.”
The Eckley Scholars & Artists program was established by President Emeritus and Mrs. Robert S. Eckley before President Eckley passed away in 2012. The program is designed to develop and deepen a student’s creative and research competencies under the guidance of a faculty member. Eckley Scholars receive a $4,000 stipend and campus housing for the summer.

Intelligent robots autonomous intelligent systems autonomous robots Artificial intelligence
Institute of Information Theories and Applications FOI ITHEA
The paper is related with the problem of developing autonomous intelligent robots for complex
environments. In details it outlines a knowledge-based robot control architecture that combines several
techniques in order to supply an ability to adapt and act autonomously in complex environments. The described
architecture has been implemented as a robotic system that demonstrates its operation in dynamic environment.
Although the robotic system demonstrates a certain level of autonomy, the experiments show that there are
situation, in which the developed base architecture should be complemented with additional modules. The last
few chapters of the paper describe the experimentation results and the current state of further research towards
the developed architecture.

Not all people in Illinois purchase their vehicles from dealers or private sellers. Some enterprising souls go to auto auctions and buy vehicles whose owners have died, failed to make auto payments, or been convicted of serious crimes. Often, buyers can find great deals on vehicles in good condition. But some of these people arrived at such an auction this week in Cook County but did not leave in good condition.
According to a witness at the scene, an employee of the Greater Chicago Auction House in Matteson reportedly got behind the wheel of a Mercedes sport utility vehicle on Friday morning around 9am, but then accelerated too quickly. The SUV plowed into a small group of pedestrians and then hit a Maserati. A total of four people had to be taken to area hospitals with a variety of injuries, though none of the injuries were considered to be life-threatening. The employee was issued a citation by police for driving too fast for conditions.
It’s pretty clear that the driver of the Mercedes will be held solely responsible for the auto-pedestrian accident. This means that the person could very well be named as a defendant in personal injury lawsuits filed by the four victims. But if the SUV driver was performing some duties in connection with his job at the auction house, then the business could also be named as a defendant in these suits – because Illinois law states that companies are responsible for the conduct of their employees.
These personal injury lawsuits could allow the plaintiffs to collect compensation for unearned wages due to work absenteeism caused by the auto-pedestrian accident, as well as reimbursement for ambulance charges, hospital expenses, and medical costs related to their recovery. If the injuries are serious, a jury may also award monetary damages for pain and suffering as well.

How The Sun’s fantasy football newsletter increased retention to 68%
Dream Team, the fantasy football offshoot from U.K. tabloid The Sun, has had a retention problem.
From one year to the next, the free-to-play game would have to reacquire two-thirds of its audience who signed up to play the previous year, which is typically around 1 million subscribers. As well as wasted effort, re-acquiring audiences costs more than retaining them.
To address this churn, Dream Team built a new content vertical including a newsletter and YouTube series around fantasy football last summer. Now it has begun to bear fruits: Dream Team retained 68% of last year’s customers this season, increasing annual audience retention rate 21% year-on-year, and won new branded content clients; however, the publisher was unwilling to share exactly how many people subscribed for the 2019 season.
Dream Team has roughly 10 people publishing regular football video content on its own site and social platforms. Dream Team had over 100 million video views in July, up from 50 million, according to Tubular Labs. Facebook and Instagram is a good funnel for acquiring news audiences, but the team needed to do more to nourish its existing fan base, said Edward Bearryman, head of content and communities at News UK.
“We are building a more franchise approach to content,” he said. “As many brands in the digital space find, bringing in audiences with content is easy, but digital content brands can struggle with loyalty and retention.”
After hearing that audiences wanted more fantasy football content — rather than generic football news content — at the start of the football season in August 2018, Dream Team also launched an email newsletter, Dream Team “Coach,” devised in part by Jimmy Lloyd, content development editor. The newsletter, written by football expert Nick Elliott, to add a more personal feel, goes out every Thursday and features tips and hints on which players are likely to play well that weekend for subscribers to switch around their fantasy football teams.
The newsletter now has over 1 million subscribers and an open rate of between 15% and 20%, according to Bearryman. The content is mostly self-contained content, so it doesn’t track click-through rates via links to external stories.
“That was the big shift and was a battle in many ways; people are used to using email a certain way,” said Bearryman. “We looked at Red Box [political newsletter from News UK’s subscription title, The Times of London] and what audiences want from email. Like other off-platform distribution, audiences don’t want to be thrown around.”
As an extension to the newsletter, in February, Dream Team launched “Coach TV” on YouTube, a weekly 20-minute chat show focused on football news. Videos typically get up to 20,000 YouTube views, last season had over 500,000 unique viewers. Over the course of 12 months, viewer retention rate doubled retention rate from 20% to 40%, according to Bearryman. Watch time on season two is over six minutes compared with three minutes last season.
Publishers like BuzzFeed are increasingly making series over one-off episodes in order to bring people back more regularly. It’s this regular viewing that attracts brand budgets too. The success of “Coach TV” was instrumental in signing bookmaker Betway to a season-long branded content campaign. As well as Betway badging alongside the Dream Team logo, the bookmaker gives exclusive betting odds and offers for the “Coach TV” audience. It’s a natural fit as 50% of Dream Team managers have an active betting account. The season-long campaign, exclusive to Dream Team rather than The Sun, cost £1.04 million ($1.27 million). According to Bearryman, the conversion rate of traffic referred to Betway is 2.5%, which compares favorably with Dream Team’s internal content conversion rates.
Over the last year, Dream Team itself has run between 10 and 12 other branded content campaigns across other sub-brands or franchises. One such sub-brand is “Hometown Glory,” a weekly show where former England football player Alex Scott takes other football players back to their hometown. Dream Team is currently in talks with two consumer goods brands for sponsorship for the season.
More franchises are in the works, according to Bearryman.
“We want to build other online sub-brands and franchises to become famous for and reach new audiences,” he said.

Update: An earlier version of this story stated Dream Team increased retention rate by 68%, instead it retained 68% of customers from last year.

Mayor Marcus Stevenson's Monthly Message (September 2023)
Midvale Main: How We Plan to Revitalize Main Street
A Brief Main Street History
When Midvale City was established in 1909, Main Street was its heart. With the smelter to its west, Main Street became the home to smelter offices, banks, restaurants, and shopping, with the homes in the Avenues neighborhood built for the industrial workers.
Once I-15 was constructed, Main Street was no longer a viable north-south route. The freeway drew traffic away from Main Street and cut off access from the rest of the city that had since expanded to the east. Main Street businesses, therefore, saw a decline in both foot and vehicular traffic. Since then, Main Street has struggled to stay vibrant and support its many local businesses.
Modern Day Challenge
Main Street can be described as a “chicken and egg” situation. What comes first, public investments into the street or private investments into the buildings? Because most of the buildings along Main Street are privately owned, Midvale City cannot force a property owner to invest in a building or bring in a specific tenant. For years, the private property owners have asked Midvale City to invest in the public side of the street: art, parking, lighting, etc. so they can bring in tenants and be successful. At the same time, Midvale City has asked property owners to invest in revitalizing their buildings and bring in tenants, so the City would have more tax dollars to invest in the public side of the street. In short, we’ve waited for building owners to make the street successful, and they’ve waited for Midvale City to do the same.
A Recent Solution
Fortunately, at the beginning of 2022, Salt Lake County and Canyons School District voted, and approved, to help fund the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) of Midvale City’s Main Street project area. An RDA allows cities to encourage development in areas where the market has struggled to naturally do so. To help spark development, a project area shifts newly generated property taxes from their usual uses into the project area. As an example, on your property taxes, you pay amounts each year to the school district, county, city, public safety, etc., but if you own property in the Main Street project area, then a portion of your property tax is re-routed and reinvested directly back into the project area. That property tax is then used to encourage development, revitalization, and support affordable housing initiatives. Turning Main Street into a project area gives our city the resources to start investing in the street in a significant way.
Revitalization Efforts & Plans
Midvale’s goal is to turn Main Street into an arts & culture district, while keeping the same historic feel, investing in current and future businesses, and creating a space where all income levels can own a business and live in the area.
In 2020, the Midvale City Council approved what’s called Form Based Code, which focused on street design, building types, open space, landscaping, and parking. Specifically, along the street this code ensures that new development brings in a similar style to the older buildings on the street: up against the street, store fronts on the street level, and apartments above. This code is the guide for how Main Street will progress and is the foundation for our many revitalization efforts.
Now that this area is an RDA, the City has been investing heavily in the public side of the street to make Midvale Main a place where residents, businesses, and visitors can enjoy. These improvements are designed to bring a strong sense of place to the street and encourage private investment in new local shops and restaurants.
Here are just some of the ways Midvale City is investing in the public side of Midvale Main:
- Public Art – Midvale has invested in murals withLos Muros on Main: Midvale City Mural Festival. We now have 33 murals along the street, which helps improve the feel and safety of the street.
- Community events – Along with the mural festival, Midvale hosts Trick or Treat on Main Street for Halloween, and Light Up Main Street for the winter holidays. Additionally, we’ve partnered with private groups for both the Main Street Car Show and the Tattoo Showdown. We are always looking for new opportunities to bring visitors to our street.
- City Hall Plaza – an important piece of the Main Street puzzle, is ensuring that both ends of the street are activated. This is part of the reason why we are building a plaza on the north side of City Hall, which will act as a year-round community space, and host the Utah Food Truck League throughout the summers. The plaza is expected to be completed early next year.
- Street lighting – it’s critical that the street feels safe and unique, which is why we are investing in better lighting. We will be installing festival-type lighting, which can be used on a day-to-day basis, and for the events we hold. String lighting that drapes across the street is one example of lighting we are looking at, which is expected to be installed early next year.
- Street & sidewalk design – to help slow down cars, we’ve recently added bulb outs onto the street. This is where you expand the sidewalk further into the street, and then you can activate this space, usually with outdoor dining. This not only better engages the street but helps slow down drivers on the road. You can see a bulb out example in front of Tres Gatos Coffee.
- Parking – While we have a focus of tying the surrounding neighborhoods directly into Main Street, we also recognize that we need to ensure adequate parking. Midvale has long-term plans for three above-ground parking structures adjoining the street, to support future businesses, residents, and visitors. The process of designing these parking structures is expected to start next year.
Midvale is also incentivizing private property owners to invest in their buildings. Here’s how:
- Façade Improvement Program – earlier this year, Midvale City approved a new grant program to help property owners improve their storefront, signage, and landscaping. As an example, restoring the Vincent Drug sign would not be an easy or cheap thing to do, but this program gives the private building owner an option to apply for funds to restore the historic signage, which will help transform the way Main Street looks and feels.
- Small Business Loan Program – this program gives low-interest loans to businesses to help remodel their buildings. The Pearl, a theater on Main Street, was approved a loan that they’ve been using to invest in remodeling their building. This program helps ensure that the existing businesses can keep up with the progress being made on the street and that the City can attract the right businesses to activate the street.
- Upper Floor Housing Initiative – this program is focused on ensuring the housing along the street remains affordable. These funds are used to keep current and future units affordable by incentivizing property owners to provide units at below market rate. As the street progresses, this program will help keep affordability in place for both current and future residents.
While Midvale Main still has many more years of revitalization to go, things are moving in the right direction. I hope our residents will remain excited, while also patient, as we work to revitalize this area in a way that honors its history and supports the diverse businesses that have called Main Street home for many years.
Midvale Main Walk & Talk – September 15 at 5:30 p.m.
If you’d like to learn more about our plans for Midvale Main, please join city staff and I for a Midvale Main Walk & Talk, in conjunction with Coffee (or whatever you drink) with the Mayor on September 15. This will be an opportunity for residents to get an in-depth view of our revitalization efforts and have your questions about our efforts answered. We’ll start at Tres Gatos Coffee at 5:30 and then work our way down the street as we talk about the past, present, and future of our historic Main Street.

The Credit Card Accountability and Disclosure Act of 2009 (CARD Act) was designed to protect consumers from unfair credit practices, including excessive fees, overnight interest rate hikes, and confusing terms. It also protects young adults under the age of 21 from aggressive marketing tactics from credit card companies.
Once the bill went into effect, credit card companies were prohibited not only from marketing on college campuses, but from issuing credit cards to anyone under the age of 21 unless certain requirements were met.
While the CARD Act helps prevent teens and young adults from easily obtaining credit and racking up large amounts of debt, it also makes it difficult to establish a credit history if you’re under 21. So what do you do if you want to establish credit? While your options are limited, you can still get a card under these conditions:
If you have a job and can prove you have a steady income, you may get approved for a credit card even if you’re under 21 years of age. The amount of money you must earn depends on the bank or card issuer. Many credit card companies offer student cards that will accept even part-time jobs as sufficient income. The credit limit is usually low, but it still allows you to establish a credit history.
A co-signer is someone over 21 who assumes joint liability for a credit card or loan. When you have a co-signer, the card is in your name and your co-signer’s name. While this allows you to establish credit in your name, it also affects your co-signer’s credit as well. If you miss a payment, max the card out, or continually pay late, it will be reported to your co-signer’s credit.
If you go this route, make sure you protect your co-signer’s credit by always making payments on time. Communication is also important, so inform your co-signer if you think you won’t be able to make a payment.
Another option is to have your parent or another adult add you as an authorized user on their credit card. The company will issue you a credit card in your name, and you will be able to use it. It will also be reported to your credit report as if it were your own. Authorized users are not legally responsible for the debts they incur, nor are they responsible for making the payments.
Before you decide to become an authorized user, keep in mind your own credit can be negatively affected if the cardholder misses a payment. It’s also important to find out what spending limits, if any, the cardholder wants you to adhere to.
A secured credit card is a popular option for people who would like to build a credit history or who rebuild poor credit. A secured credit card works like a debit card but is reported to credit histories. You provide the card issuer with a cash deposit, usually anywhere between $300 and $500. This serves as collateral and also acts as your credit limit. By keeping the card under the limit and making your payments on time, you can establish a credit history.
Establishing a credit history is a necessary part of obtaining credit. Getting a credit card if you’re under 21 is difficult, but it’s not impossible. These tips will help you build your credit and learn to use credit wisely if you’re under 21.

When it comes to nutrition I have read a mountain of books. About every new diet or nutritional book that has been published over th past 20 years I have looked into and many times read from cover to cover. I have been influenced by some and others have left a “bad taste in my mouth”. As many of you know I run a Wellness clinic. Much of my passion has been to see people lose the unwanted weight and get healthy. It’s really all been about health. That means to no longer be dependent on medications. As I have adapted Joel’s principles I have been overwhelmed with success story after success story. You see losing the weight is a natural process if you are eating right. Dependance on medication is not longer needed as our patients adapt this healthy life style. Hunger pains and addictions are no longer a problem. Energy is restored, depression and other mental ailments are improved as the body begins to heal itself through proper nutrition. I encourage all of you to not only read this book but immediately implement it into your lives. If you have children that’s even better as you will literally save them from future health problems. I have said it many times in speaking. We only have one body while we live in this life. The body is miraculous in it’s ability to heal if we just give it the proper nutrients it needs. For those of you suffering from endless medications look no further. Within 3-6 months you can restore your health and no longer depend on the medications. You see this book is really not about weight loss, it’s about restoring health. The great thing about restoring health is body fat decreases, blood sugar normalizes, cholesterol drops to safe levels, blood pressure normalizes, hormones act like they should, and you feel wonderful.

The 8th Western Balkans Civil Society Forum, organized by the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC), took place on 30 September and 1 October 2021 in Skopje.
The hybrid event, brought together over 100 participants, including representatives of civil society, EU institutions, international organizations, and governments of the region. The main topics were how to enhance the accession process, the contribution of civil society organizations to the process; the post-COVID recovery, the state of social dialogue, as well as enabling civic space in the Western Balkans.
The event was opened by North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Zoran Zaev, noting the strategic importance of the enlargement process and the need for civil society to participate in it. BCSDN’s Executive Director Biljana Spasovska took part in the inaugural session “Roadmap towards a clear EU accession perspective for the Western Balkans”, along with European Economic and Social Committee President, Ms Christa Schweng, Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, Mr Olivér Várhelyi, State Secretary at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Slovenia, Mr Gašper Dovžan, European External Action Service Head of Western Balkans Task Force, Ms Jasna Jelišić, and Regional Cooperation Council Representative, Ms Tanja Mishevikj.
Ms. Christa Schweng emphasized the need for civil society to play a prominent role as a control mechanism that guarantees the quality of the EU accession process, while Mr. Gašper Dovžan profiled the enlargement process, not as a technical, but a rather geostrategic priority that requires political will on both sides to move towards common goals. Mr Oliver Varhelyi summed up his view towards the enlargement process as “an investment in the peace, the stability and the wellbeing of the region”. Ms. Jasna Jelišić`s address focused on the importance of the EU’s support to the Western Balkans and how responsibility for successful communication and progress is shared among the EU and the Western Balkans.
Ms. Spasovska stressed the concerns on the decrease of CSO involvement in the enlargement process and the lack of political will for bringing back the omnipresence of civil representatives in the policymaking. She also noted a serious lack of CSO consultation in the IPA III CSF and raised concern regarding the discouraging way of planned support to WB CSOs, jeopardizing the development and local ownership of CSOs in the region.
Two panels were organized on day 2 of the event, “The state of social dialogue in the Western Balkans” and “Achieving an enabling civic space in the Western Balkans”. Several BCSDN member representatives took part in the second panel, sharing their experiences and recommendations, supporting the network’s findings and positions.
Mr. Dren Puka from the Kosovar Civil Society Foundation noted how besides the generally satisfying legislation in Kosovo, the overall state of the civil society has kept the status-quo for many years. Aida Daguda from the Centre for Promotion of Civil Society noted the need of local ownership to be in focus and supported by all relevant stakeholders while putting special emphasis on the need for further improvement of the relationship and cooperation between the government in Bosnia and Herzegovina and civil society organizations. Maja Stojanovic from Civic Initiatives (Serbia) recommended that the state should not be abolished from the obligation to implement laws due to the fact they are developing and adopting even better ones. The rule of law should be the first step, followed afterward by developing a better legal environment. In his address, Aleksandra Krzhalovski from the Macedonian Center for International Cooperation stressed how WB countries’ accession to the EU perpetuates practices of bad governance, autocratic and corruptive behavior that is diminishing the efforts for higher standards and values, resulting in disappointed and inactive citizens.
After a discussion and adopting the Forum conclusions, the 8th Western Balkans Civil Society Forum concluded with adopting and issuing a final declaration with recommendations from CSOs, which is available here.

In his memoir, On Writing, author Stephen King states, “Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well.”
It’s true that writing or publishing any form of journalism can bring about some, if not all, of those things. But at the end of the day, the core of a journalist’s work is much truer than that. As storytellers, we are acutely aware that the values and lessons we learn from our sources can be used to educate, advocate, and entertain our readers. In our story “Beneath the Hijab,” page 34, one writer uncovers the essence of religious clothing, while in another, “Uncontrollable Actions,” page 20, we provide a glimpse into Tourette Syndrome, a well-known, yet mysterious neurological disorder affecting thousands of Americans. The piece, “Tattooed and Employed,” page 24, explores the prejudices facing women with body art and the proactive action one group is taking to demolish those stereotypes.
Narrating stories such as these has allowed Ethos to illustrate countless aspects of the human condition through the last eight years, and my hope is that Ethos continues to document our ever-changing cultural landscape long into the future.
To the community members who have shared their work, lives, struggles, and dreams with our writers and readers, we dedicate this issue of Ethos to you. Without your perspectives and insight, Ethos could not create such intimate reflections of what it means to be human in today’s world. So even if somewhere down the road getting dates or getting famous arises from our careers in journalism, please remember that these superficial benefits could never match the rewards we gain from working with you. Thank you for allowing us to share your stories. Enjoy.

Prescription medication abuse and addiction, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), is climbing. Chronic pain is very real for many individuals around the world and dependence on pain medication is a likely result of abused opioid prescriptions.
OxyContin is a popular opioid medication used to combat physical pain, especially for the neck and back; as with all opioid medications, the potential for addiction to OxyContin is extremely high. Pain patients who use the drug as prescribed are advised against the abrupt cessation of OxyContin and are encouraged to gradually reduce the dosage in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms due to the intensity of OxyContin detox.
Chronic Pain and OxyContin
Prescribed for chronic or long-lasting pain, OxyContin is a semi-synthetic opioid analgesic that binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. The active ingredient is OxyCodone, which is also found in drugs like Percodan and Tylox.
OxyContin can contain between 10 and 160 milligrams of OxyCodone in a timed-release tablet; Because of the large amounts of oxycodone, OxyContin has become one of the most abused prescription drugs in the Nation. NIDA reports that in certain areas of the United States, abuse rates are higher for OxyContin than for heroin.
OxyContin Addiction and Withdrawal
Abusers of this pain medication who take higher doses than prescribed can develop a tolerance for OxyContin, which can lead them to take larger amounts of the drug to achieve the initial effect. Hyperalgesia, an increased sensitivity to pain caused by damage to the nerves, is a medical condition caused by the chronic use of opiate medication.
Addiction to and dependence on OxyContin occur rapidly; physical addiction develops when repeated use alters reward pathways in the brain. Withdrawal symptoms from OxyContin can begin as soon as six hours after the last dose and can last anywhere between one and two weeks. Those who have gone through withdrawal and detox from this opioid compare the process to the intensity of Heroin withdrawal.
Physical and Mental Withdrawal Symptoms Include:
- Tiredness or Fatigue
- Flu-Like Symptoms
- Constant Yawning
- Hot and Cold Sweats
- Restlessness and Agitation
- Heart Palpitations
- Bradycardia (Irregular Heartbeat)
- Mild to Severe Muscle and Joint Cramping/Aching
- Depressed Breathing
- Mild to Severe Nausea and Vomiting
- Uncontrollable Coughing
- Watery Eyes
- Mild to Severe Anxiety
- Mild to Severe Depression
Like Heroin and other Opioids, OxyContin is a central nervous system depressant. Overdose is tremendously common with this type of medication, easily leading to respiratory depression and failure and death.
Detoxification from OxyContin can be both physically and psychologically excruciating, specifically if dependence or abuse has become a long-term issue. Most individuals have described a strong concentration of muscular cramping radiating throughout the entire body, as well as severe digestive complications due to constant vomiting. Pruritus, the need or reflex to scratch and itch, is also a common symptom associated with detoxing from OxyContin.
Opioid detox can be an overall painful process to endure physically and psychologically and methods and medications are administered to ease the painful symptoms that occur during the early stages of withdrawal. Some detoxification methods have the potential to cause more harm than good, as is the case with rapid opiate detox; being properly supervised by a medically trained professional is crucial.
Medical detox for chemically dependent people is greatly suggested and should take place in an inpatient treatment center or under hospital supervision. There are many different methods and medications used in the medical-detox from OxyContin; Clonidine, Librium, and Morphine are some of the more common drugs used to facilitate physical comfort.
Most medical detoxifications from opiates last from one to two weeks. Many drug rehab centers have drug detox programs at the same facility, while others have drug detox programs at a separate location. Once the detox has been completed, the addict is encouraged to immediately start an outpatient drug treatment program. Drugs leave residual toxins in the body, which can cause post acute withdrawal symptoms such as drug cravings, anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue and sleeplessness. Therefore, it is important to eat properly and drink plenty of liquids to maintain health.
Going through any form of drug detox without the appropriate drug treatment or rehabilitation program immediately following the detox process significantly reduces the likelihood of an individual’s successfully staying off drugs and remaining clean and sober. Depending on the length of chemical dependency, it is important that opiate-dependent patients find a treatment facility that has a specific opiate addiction program available.


text: MERIDEN — A pair of Silver City stars that went on to have monster careers at Eastern Connecticut State University are being given the biggest honor by the school.Platt grad Pete Daniels and Maloney graduate Amy Golas will be inducted in the Eastern Connecticut Hall of Fame. The E-Club Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Reception is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Betty R. Tipton Room in the school’s student center.Daniels won a baseball state championship as a Platt senior in 1986 and then in his senior year at Eastern he was an All-American third basemen on a Division III national championship team.“It brings a good ending to my whole baseball career,” Daniels said of being inducted. “Only a handful of people are in the Hall from my era. I had a blast at Eastern. In my senior year we went 40-6 and played well together.”Daniels, 46, was an outfielder and a DH as a sophomore, a pitcher as a junior and manned the hot corner as senior.“I was lucky,” Daniels said. “In high school we won a state championship. We won a Division III championship at Eastern. One through nine we had kids that could play. Even on the bench we had players that could have started anywhere. There was no egos and everyone did what they had to do for us to win.”Daniels hit .374 from the No. 3 spot in the 1990 season in which Eastern finished with an 18-game winning streak. The Warriors led the country in hits (544) and runs (433) and team batting average (.342) that year.Daniels was inducted individually in the Platt High School Hall of Fame in 1992. The 1986 team coached by Rich Katz was inducted in 2008. The Panthers outscored tournament opponents Berlin, Stratford, Watertown and New London 40-5 during its championship run.Daniels has now turned his attention to coaching, in particular his 10-year old son Ryan.“It’s going to be a nice night in October,” Daniels said. “My son will enjoy it. I coach his travel team. He is getting big into baseball now. I would rather be coaching than to do something like this. But we will have fun.”Golas, 32, graduated from Maloney in 1999 and from Eastern in 2003.She learned to swim at the Meriden YMCA and moved on to the Meriden Silver Fins before joining the Maloney program.“The Platt/Maloney rivalry was so fantastic,” Golas said. “You are swimming against people who you knew since you were 8-years-old. I knew I wanted to continue swimming in college because I knew the sport would help ease my transition.”Golas won 102 races in dual-meet competition over a four-year career at Eastern.The Meriden native joined the program in its fourth year on the intercollegiate level, helping the Warriors to their first four winning seasons and to their first three Top-10 finishes in the NEISDA Championships.Golas, who now lives in Canterbury, was considered the program’s first impact recruit. She finished her career undefeated in the 50-yard butterfly in dual meets. She graduated as the program record-holder in seven individual events (50, 100 and 200 freestyle; 50 and 100 butterfly).“While Amy’s contributions in the pool are impressive, they come as no surprise to anyone who knows her,” said Eastern head coach Maureen Fahey. “They are the manifestations of the hard work, dedication and passion for excellence she demonstrates in every aspect of her life. Her commitment to continuing to contribute to both the Eastern community and her students remain evident to this day in her work ethic, pride and quality in everything she does. While I am so very proud of all that she has done and continues to do as my colleague, I am most proud to call her my friend.”Golas said the reason why she felt so at home at Eastern was because of Fahey.“She truly believes in the saying that the quality you put in is the quality you get out,” Golas said. “By instilling that each and every day at practice, I , as a swimmer, didn’t want to disappoint myself. If you wanted to swim fast in that meet on Saturday, you needed to put in the work to do that. Maureen was certainly going to provide you with the work and sets that would make you a stronger swimmer, but it was up to you to put the work in, and it was through that that we were all able to achieve to our highest ability... She has really influenced the way that I approach my life in so many ways, and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.”Golas now teaches eighth-grade English at RHAM High School in Hebron. She has never left the Eastern swim program; she has been an assistant at the school for 11 years.“I love swimming and I love the program and I wanted to see it be successful and I hope I can contribute something to it,” Golas said. “It’s going to mean a lot for me to be inducted. Being at Eastern the four years I swam and every year since as an assistant, I always remember seeing the plaques on the wall. I thought to myself that would be really cool to have one. It’s going to be really nice.”Golas’ parents Jack and Maggie still live in Meriden and will be on hand in October. She also expects her boyfriend Kevin and sisters Jen and Katie to attend as well.“I love Eastern so much that I showed up in 1999 and have never left,” Golas said.Tickets are priced at $50 and must be reserved in advance by contacting Scott Smith at 860-465-4326 or at firstname.lastname@example.org.

It is estimated that, worldwide, every third woman, and one in five men over the age of 50, will sustain an osteoporotic-induced bone fracture. Osteoporosis is a condition most of us have heard of but don't actually know what it is other than the sight of hunched shoulders and a rounded back. To start this discussion, osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass and the disruption of bone architecture, resulting in increased risk of fragility fractures which represent the main clinical consequence of the disease (1).
Once osteopenia or osteoporosis has been diagnosed, basic therapies, with increased physical activity, a balanced, calcium-rich diet and the reduction of alcohol and nicotine, may protect against a further loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Yet, these approaches are not likely to improve BMD (the keyword here is improve). Here’s where collagen peptides become important in managing osteoporosis and possibly improving one's BMD, especially as we age and lose bone density (1).
In a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blinded investigation using 131 women who were in post-menopause and had an age-related reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), hydrolyzed collagen peptides were administered orally for twelve months to determine if it impacted BMD in the femoral neck and the spine. The study had postmenopausal women, aged 46–80 years (mean age 63 years) ingest 5g of collagen peptides per day or 5g maltodextrin as a placebo (control group), in a randomized, placebo-controlled design, for the full 12 months. While not prescribed, the participants were encouraged to take calcium and vitamin D supplements in a daily dose of approximately 0.5–0.8 g (depending on weight) and 400–800 IU, respectively (2).
Out of the 102 women who completed the study, the investigators found, “that the intake of SCP increased BMD in postmenopausal women with primary, age-related reduction of BMD. In addition, SCP supplementation was associated with a favorable shift in bone markers, indicating increased bone formation and reduced bone degradation.” Specifically, in the collagen peptide group, BMD increased by almost 3.0% in the spine and 6.7% in the femoral neck, whereas, in the same period, bone density decreased in the placebo group (−1.3% for spine and −1.0% in the femoral neck) (2).
Throughout the 12 months, blood samples were analyzed to evaluate specific biomarkers for bone formation and degradation in both treatment groups (the collagen peptide and control group). When starting the study, both groups had similar levels of the bone specific amino-terminal propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP) and C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX 1). Note that Cofo Provisions is Type 1 collagen (2).
During the course of the study, P1NP significantly increased in the collagen peptide group, indicating a stimulation of bone formation. In contrast, in the placebo group, no changes in P1NP concentration were determined, whereas the bone degradation marker, CTX 1, significantly increased. In contrast, in the participants that were treated with collagen peptides, no changes in bone degradation markers could be determined (2).
Within this study, daily oral ingestion of 5g of collagen peptides with Vitamin D and calcium increased Type 1 collagen amino acids in the blood, stimulated bone formation and increased bone mineral density (2).
While this study shows hope for collagen peptides reducing the burden of osteoporosis and increasing bone density, there are still many questions we need answers to through independent scientific studies. For instance, how many grams of collagen peptides per day is optimal to increase bone density (other studies mention 10-12g per day)? What is the optimal time of day to take collagen? And, how does Vitamin D, calcium or other types of vitamin or supplement such as Vitamin C quantitatively improve cellular absorption.
As collagen peptides become more widespread, our hope is that these questions are answered to provide each of us an attainable and affordable solution to help control, treat and possibly reduce osteoporosis so we can stay active enjoying the things we love no matter our age.

What does it mean when cheese doesn’t melt?
Cheeses with lower water levels will not melt as well as cheeses with higher water levels. This is because the molecules in dense cheese do not have much room to flow, even after the cheese is fully melted. Parmesan is an example of cheese that does not have a high water level.
What cheese doesnt melt when cooked?
You may already be familiar with halloumi, kasseri, manouri, queso blanco, and paneer. These varieties soften when heated, become a tad creamier, but don’t melt the way cheddar, Swiss, and Gruyere do. Chefs serve the non-melters sauteed or pan-fried, even grilled, where they turn golden but keep their shape.
Does paneer melt like cheese?
Paneer is a fresh, unsalted white cheese. … Because it won’t melt like other cheeses, chunks of it can be stirred into soups or curries and remain intact. It is a star ingredient in some of my favourite dishes like saag paneer (spinach), shahi paneer (cream, tomatoes and spices), and mattar paneer (peas and tomatoes).
What is the best cheddar cheese for melting?
Start with a Mild or Sharp Cheddar Mild and Sharp Cheddar have a smoother, creamier texture than Extra Sharp and Seriously Sharp Cheddar. They also have a higher moisture content than Extra Sharp and Seriously Sharp Cheddar and are, therefore, easier to melt.
Why isn’t my cheese melting in my sauce?
It’s that overcooking that can cause the sauce to curdle. When your white sauce is ready, remove it from the heat. If it’s really hot, let it cool a few minutes. The sauce only needs to be hot enough to melt the grated cheese, which you should stir in gradually until just melted and incorporated into the sauce.
What happens if you fry cheese?
A significant amount of oil is absorbed into cheese when it is fried, and the frying of cheeses adds advanced lipid end products and dicarbonyls to advanced glycation end-products that are already present in cheeses.
Why does my cheddar cheese not melt?
Several factors affect melting ability. One is moisture content. High-moisture cheeses, like mozzarella, cream cheese, and Brie, flow more easily than dry hard cheeses. … But hard cheeses contain so little water that when they melt, they don’t completely liquefy.
Which cheese is best for frying?
Cheeses such as queso blanco, halloumi and paneer have a high melting point that makes it suitable to grill or fry. The cheese melts slightly, but largely retains its shape when grilled or pan-fried. It is commonly cut into slices and dusted with/without a light coating of flour or corn starch, before frying.
Why won’t the cheese melt in my grilled cheese?
Slicing the cheese too thick. When sliced too thick, the cheese simply won’t cook all the way through, which means you won’t get that oozy, melty goodness you have your heart set on. … It melts more evenly and quickly than slices, and you’re guaranteed to have just the right balance of toasted bread and melted cheese.
How long does it take to melt cheese in the oven?
5 minutesIn a preheated 375 F oven, it will take closer to 5 minutes. You just want the cheese to be fully melted, but not browned.
Which is better paneer or cheese?
Cheese is healthy, but it has high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol which makes it bad for your heart. A 100 g serving of cheese has 18 g of saturated fat and 100 mg of cholesterol, whereas 100 g of paneer has 1.7 g of saturated fat and 17 mg of cholesterol. Hence, paneer is a better option.
Why does cheese not melt in oven?
Why does my cheese not melt? 3 Answers. This is a combination of the type of cheese and too much heat. Some cheeses melt more readily (mozzarella for example), but all of them will seize up if they are heated too much too fast – the proteins ‘curl up’ and separate from the fat and water in the cheese.

The Italian city of fashion and design, Milan, just like others big European capitals, is a bustling city, with a lot to offer from a cultural point of view.
You certainly know the main attractions like the Duomo with the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the fashion district and the Navigli.
But today we want to show you an original side of this city, telling you 5 unusual things to see in Milan. Ready to be amazed?
Inspired by the Pinocchio fable, the section in the Triennale dedicated to kids is a journey inside the magical world of Collodi. You will end up crossing a boardwalk on the nose of the most famous wooden boy of the world and once crossed the entrance you will find yourself in the whale’s belly, the section of the Triennale dedicated to the small kids with workshops, exhibitions, videos, presentations all child-friendly.
This is a space expressily conceived for the children to become more interested in museums and to bring the adults back to childhood.
One of the most famous (and hidden) churches of the centre of Milan is San Satiro. You hardly see the entrance, hidden among the fashion shops in via Torino.
Walk to the street number 17/19, sweep past the courtyard where there’s the entrance and once crossed the front door prepared to be amazed. The illusion is perfect and you’ll have to walk up close to the altar to see that the apsis you’re are seeing, actually doesn’t exist! The author of this perspectival deceit is one of the greatest Italian architects, Donato Bramante.
But why this work of intelligence? The necessity was merely for practice, that is lack of space. Bramante took up the challenge and modified the first sketch of the church taking it into scale: the fake apsis measures 97 cm (3.2 feet) instead of the 9,7 meters (32 feet) of the original sketch.
The architect took the credit for realizing a magnificent trompe l’oeil, earning the everlasting fame as the forerunner of 3D.
Small unknown gems in the heart of the city, the house museum of Milan are 4 private residences that from 2008 are part of the Circuito delle case museo milanesi. The Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, the Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano, Villa Necchi Campiglio and Museo Poldi Pezzoli will welcome you with rooms decorated with art collections and secret gardens in the centre of the city, here you will see the former glory of the aristocrats families that lived in them.
A true gem, to discover a different Milan compared to the classical touristy tours.
In the Maggiolina area, in Via Lepanto, you will find very curious looking households, shaped as an Igloo: dating back to 1946, these houses were built by the engineer Mario Cavallè, that imported the building technique from the United States.
The shape is not accidental: constructed with a vault that unloads the weight of the structure on the igloo itself, this solution allows maximum freedom in the arrangement of the spaces. The map of these unique houses is round, with a diameter of 7.5 meters (25 feet) for a surface of 45/50 m2 (538 ft2). The igloos are made up of two levels: the main ground floor and a basement.
Once 12, now 8, are now still inhabited by private citizens. The houses are named Villaggio dei Giornalisti (Journalists’ village), because the members of the company for whom the houses were built were mainly journalists, writers and artists.
A curiosity: in the same street, up until the 60’s there were other houses with even a more curious shape, that of a mushroom, with all the stem and the cap with the polka dots, but unfortunately they were demolished by the engineer’s nephew that had built them.
Designed and built in the 20’s, the Albergo Diurno Metropolitano, as it was know back then, was open from 7am to 11pm and would offer a series of services other than public toilets (showers and toilets): from the barber shop and hairdresser, manicure, pedicure, photographer, travel agent, laundry to the typist; all services, arranged in salons finely furnished with mosaic, statues and fountains, were distributed in a space of 1.200 m2 (12916 ft2).
Situated in the basement of Piazza Oberdan, this gem of the Art Decò, would offer its services to travelers, residents and citizen looking for some leisure, and because of its strategic position it became the most important one in Italy. With the relocation of the Central Railway station, in the 30’s, the construction of the subway of Porta Venezia in the 60’s and the closure of the thermal baths, that had no reason to exist anymore (in the 80’s every apartment had a private bathroom), the building was completely abandoned.
Today, this fascinating corner of Milan can be visited on the occasion of giornate di apertura FAI.

13 AKC pups born 6/16/12 - bl & choc!!
We are a small breeder with great love for Labs. As members of our family, all of our dogs live in our home - no kennels! We welcome 1-2 litters/yr.
As a former research scientist, I have a good understanding of genetics and select breeding pairs carefully in order to improve the breed and produce healthy offspring. All of our breeding dogs have OFA certified hips (good or excellent) and elbows, and have CERF eyes. We do not show our dogs - it is just not how we choose to spend our time with them - but we've chosen our dogs from championship lines.
The puppies are pure bred Labrador retrievers eligible for limited AKC registration. Their Dew claws are removed by our veterinarian, first shots are given and they are de-wormed 3 times. All pups are examined by our vet before going to their new homes at 7 or 8 weeks.
We sell only to approved individuals who intend to keep the dogs and can provide proper care and attention. Labs are intelligent, social, and active. Don't be offended when we ask for references; it helps us insure that the placement is a good fit. We do not ship puppies.
Cost for puppies: $650 (prices will go up for our next litter)
A $250 deposit will hold your pick in our upcoming litter.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia advocates and politicians convened for a press conference Thursday at City Hall in hopes of turning Philly schools just a bit little greener, but there will be a lot of red tape to go through first.
Penn Environment released their report on why solar panels would shine in Philadelphia schools. Councilman Derek Green is introducing the resolution to City Council.
“There are already 40-something school districts that do solar panels across the Commonwealth.”
He says though they are in the very beginning stages. The panels would bring 750 union jobs, reduce pollution and lower building costs, but funding would be the issue.
Green says installations and maintenance costs would likely be split between private and public funding.
“You have social impact bonds, we have environmental-energy savings contracts, and another private public partnership.”
He says although there is no definite plan to fund the solar panels, they will look to other cities that have solar panels as an example.

The Merseyside club has come under criticism for their handling of the Luis Suarez affair, which resulted in the Uruguayan being handed an eight-match ban by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
Despite this verdict, Liverpool players warmed up in t-shirts supporting their teammate ahead of their game with Wigan Athletic over the Christmas period.
Ant-racism campaigners were quick to point out that the club's public support of Suarez could be interpreted as condoning racism.
"Obviously there was a big issue with Luis. The players showed support for Luis which was fantastic, but then some people interpreted that wrongly as the players saying they're not interested in the fight against racism," said Dalglish.
"That is totally and utterly rubbish. If we can help to eradicate racism or discrimination from any part of the society, with the help of anybody at Liverpool Football Club, then that help will be forthcoming.
"We don't want racism anywhere near football and certainly not anywhere near this football club," he insisted.
Suarez's eight-match suspension began in the Reds' 3-0 defeat to Manchester City last week and he will also be absent for their Carling Cup semi-final ties against the league leaders this month.

Blue Diamond Riley Services Limited is proud to announce the recruitment of two Apprentice Mechanics after they were accepted onto the latest co-hort of the Heritage Skills Academy’s Historic Vehicle Restoration Course. Jacob Ewers and Patrick Arney are Blue Diamond’s 2nd and 3rd apprentices to have joined this prestigious course, following the footsteps of Daniel Hunter who joined the training course back in 2015.
Prior to joining Blue Diamond, Jacob (19) completed a 2-year course in Motorsport Engineering at Bicester and Banbury College. Patrick (20) recently completed a course in Automotive Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University. Both were recruited by HSA’s experienced team, and will now work on a 40-month programme culminating in their end point evaluation where they must pass a rigorous skills assessment before graduating to full-time employment.
Blue Diamond Riley Services has been fortunate to have apprentices since its doors opened years ago. John Lomas, Managing Director, is a strong supporter of the younger generation. He says, “It’s an exciting time for the younger generation to be able to experience true hands-on experience of these vintage cars – we are delighted to work with HSA again. We have been very fortunate to be able to grow our team over the years and our apprenticeship programme is a key part of that. Jacob and Patrick’s experience and industry knowledge shows their commitment to the future of our industry-- and our desire to continue to be one of the leading pre-war car restoration companies in the country.”

Serum and plasma selenium responds to short-term changes in diet and measuring the amounts of selenium in serum and plasma can indicate short-term selenium status. Normal selenium levels of the U.S. population fall within the range of 2.03-3.29 micromoles (mcmol) per liter (L).
Selenium levels in whole blood do not fluctuate much and are thus more indicative of long-term selenium status. A new technique that can be used to analyze serum, plasma or whole blood selenium is called graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. This method is fairly easy to execute and the resultant samples require little pretreatment.
Urine samples reflect selenium content of the previous meal and are not useful for assessment of selenium status, though they can be used to detect toxicity.
Toenail selenium is useful for assessment of long-term selenium status. Selenium is incorporated into toenails as they grow. Because the exposed toenail on which tests are done have long since ceased to grow, toenail selenium levels probably reflect zinc status as it stood six to nine months prior to testing.
There is a correlation between blood glutathione peroxidase activity and blood selenium up to 1.2 mcmol/L. Beyond that point the activity plateaus, and cannot be used to determine selenium status. The test is not specific because other factors can affect glutathione peroxidase activity. Such factors include age, sex, ethnicity, iron-deficiency anemia, essential fatty acid deficiency, and vitamin B12 deficiency.
Take a Study Break!


Community members must also request interventions that would best meet their needs. We might recognize reducing elevated blood pressures is important, yet, this may not be a goal for the community in discussion. As the prevalence of patients grows, the community must be allowed to raise their own concerns of their health identity to the medical world that wishes to help them. While medicine is asked to show results and outcomes, it still must maintain its human side — achieved best by partnering with and entering the community. Thus, ensuring that medicine is, and will remain, a public trust for the greater good.

From the Tampa Bay Times: Berkeley Prep swimmers aim for golden finish to high school careers
Berkeley Prep swimmers aim for golden finish to high school careers
By Steve Lee, Times Correspondent
Wednesday, September 10, 2014 1:27pm
TAMPA — Berkeley Prep's return to last weekend's City Relays — and subsequent victory after an eight-year absence — marked the beginning of what five seniors destined for lifelong friendships hope to be a memorable end to their high school careers.

From left, Berkeley Prep coach Kevin Rosepapa has coached seniors Harrison Keane, Keating Mosher, Delton Gunn, Graham Olney and Ryan Franzese for several years.
"Ideally, as seniors we'd all like that top five finish at states and to get on the podium," said Graham Olney, whose eighth-place finish at state in the 100-yard backstroke as a sophomore is the best of the bunch. "That's something we've been looking forward to since we were kids."
Olney, Ryan Franzese, Delton Gunn and Keating Mosher have been swimming together at Berkeley Prep since the third grade when Olney jokingly said that their parents did not want to pick them up too early after school.
"We're all just the biggest group of goofballs," Olney said.

Drawing ('the big wave') by Wilson
"Libraries are made of the stuff of myth. Somewhere within the silent miles of stacks, gallery upon gallery, and the associated web of information retrieval there awaits the discovery of those secret connections whose alchemy will at last combine to form the Philosophers Stone: and it is a most compelling part of this myth that the discovery of this secret will one day be the achievement of a lone scholar: Faust, Einstein or...
And so to every scholar the library is a personal realm of secret topography and it is this perception that conditions the propriety of the public image of its architecture. It is no place for the rhetoric demanded by the grand celebrations of opera or theatre - for the library is not called upon to advertise the occasion that will draw a crowd of spectators to appointed times of performance. A comparison between the "billboard" facade of the Paris Opéra inviting a huge audience and the single door leading into the walled courtyard of Labroustes Bibliothèque Nationale makes the point. Timeless, massive and withdrawn, a library awaits the random arrival of its lonely explores. Propriety that seeks a sensitive representation of this ambivalent character urges upon us a certain quietism of the kind described by Adolf Loos in which a building should be silent on the outside end reveal its wealth only on the inside.
Nevertheless there is an sense in which a library has to be celebrated over and above the observance of duty: there is an inherent symbolic content that has to be given its embodiment and duly celebrated - something like the classical idea of a showing forth of the inner significance of a place or an institution. At a time when there is no universally accepted language in which to celebrate such abstract ideas this is a delicate matter. Rhetoric, if it is to be intelligible, requires a public realm of shared values and beliefs. In writing about the absence of any such public realm in our time the poet W. H. Auden wryly observed that whenever a modern poet raises his voice he sounds phoney: Paul Verlaine had said more bluntly we have wrung the neck of rhetoric. That architecture - a public art - should suffer the same inhibition is almost a contradiction in terms but it is, sadly, a predicament of our time. The attempt by the Post-modernists to overcome this fact by adopting formal conceipts of the 18th century is as unconvincing as the opposite mode of abstract expressionism is disturbingly shrill. A future generation may find an authentic rhetoric: but we, where there is no common language to be shared, should proceed with caution.
What is important for any such celebration if it is to be free from phoney rhetoric is that it should be grounded in the facts of the case. In The British Library the symbolic role is most truly embodied in the Kings Library. It was a condition of the gift to the nation of this great collection of George III that its beautiful leather and vellum bindings should be on show to the general public and not just the scholars. The volumes have hitherto been distributed in the wall-cases of the British Museum where its identity, however handsome, has the passive character of decoration to the walls of the space dedicated to exhibitions. In the new building the collection is housed in a free-standing structure, an object in its own right, a six-storey-high bronze and glass tower. By this transformation it becomes simultaneously a celebration of beautifully bound books, a towering gesture that announces the invisible presence of treasures housed below and a hard-working source of materials studied in the Rare Book Reading Room opposite: the symbolic role is at one with the use.
This is an example of the way in which a library can be celebrated over and above the observance of duty. It recalls quite rightly the building Type used traditionally as a shrine and there is a certain analogy here to the famous Kaaba or Black Box in Mecca.
There is also an issue of form raised by tendentious questions about planning for the future - devising a Library for the 21st century. In dealing with this factor it has to be borne in mind that the occupancy of the greater part of the building is dedicated to purposes and practices of an unchanging nature - the storage and consultation of millions of items specifically to be preserved in their original form. To consult the Lindisfarne Gospels or the manuscript of Beowulf the same basic conditions are required as those that were enjoyed when the work was first made. On the other hand it is inherent in the character of what is called cutting edge technology that it is usually housed in short-life, rapidly replaced buildings, so that we tend to associate lightweight technology and deliberately transient styling with the forefront of technological development.
It is inherent in the stylistic claims of high-tech architecture that it must never look old, and obsolescence must be fought by constant replacement of out-of-date parts. However for the new national library it was specified that the building should have a working life of 200-250 years. In the event the building had to be so designed that changes to be accommodated were almost entirely electronic and therefore capable of replacement invisibly many times over in the life of the building. This has been done by forming continuous accessible voids at both ceiling and floor level throughout that which, for the most part, is an unchanging fabric.
A more appropriate poetic for such a building derives from the intention that running through the design there should be a sub-plot of metaphor and of allusions - either explicitly to historical precedent (as we have discussed in the case of the Kings Library Tower) or to more recent precedent drawn from what has become, during this century, the very rich and diverse language of Modernism. Indeed it is very much in the nature of the Modernism to which I feel an allegiance (Eliot, Picasso, Stravinsky) that it is imbued with the historical sense of continuity and the practice of allusion rather than the clean slate of Modernimus which denied all connection to the past." (p. 28 - 30)
The Rare Books Reading Room
|"Each reader has
a range of generously dimensioned desks (of which the
smallest is 1.140 m wide and 750 mm deep) made of oak
with leather-top surface, and served with individual
light source and power outless for computer, microreader
or other equipment: a warning light informs the reader of
the arrival at the control desk of books requested. A
specially designed chair and, if required, footstool
complete the specification of 'workplace' for every
reader. There are also a number of closed 'carrels' for
single or shared occupation distributed within each
reading room." (p. 63)
each desk, a switchable desk light allows the reader to
select ideal conditions for screen reading (light off) or
for book reading and establishes a local focus of
attention, the printed page being, as it should, the
brightest surface in the field of vision. Even in
distribution to prevent glare, the light levels are
varied enough to provide an endlessly interesting,
dappled landscape, shifting and breathing as clouds pass
Jerome' by Antonello da Messina
|"To an architect the most haunting image of the solitary scholar is the painting of St. Jerome (the patron saint of scholars) by Antonello da Messina which hangs in the National Gallery, London. Ensconced in a timber shell raised four steps above the cold tiled floor, the scholar is enveloped in a purpose-made aedicule of bookshelf, ledge and desk like an organist's console. The whole structure forms a frame of attention focused upon the act of reading: and in its turn this delicate barque is enveloped within a high-vaulted structure of stone. It is the very embodiment of intense silent concentration in a hierarchy of space and a palette of materials each of which responds to purpose by its scale, position, texture and orientation to light for this fortunate scholar." (p. 65)|

Former YouTube street fighter sensation turned MMA star, Kimbo Slice, will be officially returning inside the 360 cage in the very near future. According to a recent report by Jeremy Botter of the Houston Chronicle on Thursday, Slice will be headlining a Bellator tentpole event on February 19, 2016 in Houston, Texas.
Bellator officials haven’t confirmed the news yet, however President Scott Coker did tease the ratings phenomenon could face the winner of a Bellator 145 fight between Bobby Lashley and James Thompson in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
We’re going to fight him early next year and I think next year, you’re going to see Kimbo Slice fight three times in Bellator, we might take a look at maybe the winner of that fight (Lashley vs. Thompson) and Kimbo. I’m not promising, I’m just saying.
Slice, 41, is arguably the biggest television ratings draw in the history of MMA. In his most recent fight on Spike TV, Slice defeated Ken Shamrock by knockout in the very first round at Bellator 138 in June.


Question about 1995 Honda Accord
You have to take out the perimeter bolts of the transmission pan (the flat pan on the bottom side of the tranny). Have a big catch pan ready under the trans while you're doing this because one end of the pan usually drops unexpectedly while loosening the last couple bolts and just dumps a ridiculous amount of stinky trans fluid all over you. once the pan is removed, place it on the ground and take a picture of it w/ your cell phone, go to the auto parts store to get a trans filter kit, 6-7 quarts of dexron III/mercon ATF and a small funnel with a really skinny end on it. make sure you take the gasket out of the box and compare the gasket shape w/ the picture you took before you leave the store to make sure you've got the right kit. when you get home, pull the old filter out of the bottom of the trans (should look just like the new one in the kit you just bought). make sure you don't leave behind the old O-ring in the filter hole after you pull it, if it is stuck in there you'll have to pry it out w/ a small flat screwdriver being careful not to scratch up the metal wall of the hole too bad. now shove the new filter/o-ring in the hole. now clean up any leftover gasket material from the mating surfaces of the trans pan and the trans itself w/ a gasket scraper or razor blade (don't gouge the metal). now lay the gasket on the pan. if you put a thin bead of RTV sealant on the pan first, this can help hold the gasket in place somewhat as you maneuver it back onto the trans. then bolt it back up, starting w/ the corner bolts to help keep the gasket from falling into the pan as you're putting the rest of the bolts in. while doing this make sure you're not overtightening the bolts as this can ruin a brand new gasket (especially cork gaskets). it's safest to use the actual torque spec, but you can just put them all in "pretty tight" and then snug up individual bolts if you notice a drip from the pan later. now pull the trans dipstick and dump 4 quarts in there through the small funnel you got earlier. now turn the engine on and leave it running, adding a half-quart at a time until the fluid is in the zone on the dipstick while the engine is hot. make sure you check underneath for leaks when you're finished, snug up bolts as needed. you're done.

The large electric SUV is set to become the brand’s flagship model when it breaks cover next year
Following in the footsteps of the all-electric EV6 midsize SUV, Kia is looking to introduce a new flagship electric vehicle in the form of the larger EV9 SUV.
According to the South Korean brand, the EV9 has entered the final stage of development, which includes “gruelling” testing across various tracks, roads, and surfaces.
Kia is entering the final stages of testing for its EV9 SUV
This final phase signifies the end of a 44-month development process where the vehicle has been pushed to its limits at Kia’s Namyang R&D centre in South Korea.
From one extreme to another, the harsh cobbled streets through Belgium were also used to tune the big EV’s ride for maximum comfort, according to the South Korean brand.
For the most intense part of the EV’s testing program, the EV9 was subjected to hill climbing, rough-track four-wheel driving, and deep-water wading.
The EV9 has been subjected to a range of gruelling testing
The EV9 will be built on Hyundai’s E-GMP architecture, shared with the upcoming Ioniq 7. This means that the big Kia should be able to hit 100km/h in around five seconds.
Details of the EV9’s powertrain and battery are scarce, but it’s expected that it will feature a driving range of up to 500km.
Kia has confirmed that the EV9 will make its public debut in the first quarter of next year, with leaked information suggesting that production will kick off in April.

Djibouti is, small strategically located country on the northeast coast of the Horn of Africa. It is situated on the Bab el Mandeb Strait, which lies to the east and separates the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden.
Formerly known as French Somaliland (1896–1967) and the French Territory of the Afars and Issas (1967–77), the country took Djibouti as its name when it gained independence from France on June 27, 1977. Djibouti’s capital, Djibouti city, is built on coral reefs that jut into the southern entrance of the gulf; other major towns are Obock, Tadjoura, Ali Sabieh, Arta, and Dikhil.
The country’s Lilliputian aspect belies its regional and geopolitical importance. The capital is the site of a modern deepwater port that serves the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea traffic and hosts a French naval base. Djibouti city is also the railhead for the only line serving Addis Ababa, the capital of neighbouring Ethiopia.
