Cookie Fail. Cinnamon Roll Win.
That being said, today I am taking of the Stepford mask and featuring a baking fiasco. I consider myself a good cook; however, I ruined, nay, destroyed this recipe and my tastebuds two nights ago.
This is when I threw in the towel. And started questioning why I even try to bake anymore.
As you can tell, I get a wee bit dramatic.
The next morning I woke up determined still to throw in the towel and just stick with store bought desserts until I came across this gem of a video featuring two of my favorite food bloggers and decided to seek baking redemption! These Pistachio, Orange, Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls are based on the Pioneer Woman's traditional rolls with a California spin from Joy the Baker. I followed Joy's altered recipe and let me tell you. Baking redemption has NEVER tasted so good. These rolls are a little salty, a little sweet, and have a refreshing taste due to the citrus - they would be the perfect Christmas morning treat. Make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven before digging into all of your presents!

Topic:Issues related to direct and indirect farm subsidies and minimum support prices; Public Distribution System- objectives, functioning, limitations, revamping; issues of buffer stocks and food security; Technology missions; economics of animal-rearing.
5) The optimal policy response to a structural surplus cannot be higher procurement prices. Critically examine the statement in the light of the increasing MSPs for farm products.(250 words)
Why this question
Agriculture remains a critical employment and livelihood source for around half of the Indian population. Getting a decent profit out of agricultural activities is essential to ensure sustainability of this critical sector. In this direction, the govt announces MSPs for several agricultural products. However, this does not simply translate into immediate or long term gains for the agricultural economy and has many negative ramifications as well.
Key demand of the question.
The question wants us to dig deep into issue underlying the question and discuss why there is a structural surplus in agricultural production and why higher MSPs will not help in solving the problem to the desired extent. Based on our discussion we have to form a personal opinion on the issue.
Critically analyze- here we have to form an opinion on the issue after discussing the reasons behind the structural surplus in agriculture and the implications of providing higher MSPs for agricultural products.
Structure of the answer
Introduction – write a few lines about the state of Indian agriculture today where periods of abundance are followed by short periods of low production. Mention the emerging agricultural surplus state of our economy etc.
- Discuss why there is agricultural surplus. E.g improved seed varieties, faster diffusion of technology, low per capita land availability, better roads, electricity, irrigation and communication infrastructure etc.
- Discuss the implications of higher MSPs vis a vis its limitations and negative effects. E.g they provide incentive to grow more of a particular crop whereas in present times there is already agricultural surplus; limited procurement capacity of FCI; MSPs don’t guarantee procurement; spillover to generalized inflation which in turn will hurt the rural and agricultural economy etc.
Conclusion– Based on your discussion, form a fair and a balanced opinion on the issue in the form of a way forward. E.g allowing agro trading companies to buy more in the Indian market, fixing procurement caps above which no procurement will be guaranteed and upto which the whole produce will be procure; building the capacity of RBI monetary policy committee to target inflation etc.

Early studies on the psychology of rapists relied heavily on convicted rapists, which skewed the data. More recent studies tend to rely on anonymous surveys of college students and other communities, which come with legal language assuring subjects their answers cannot be used against them. The studies avoid using terms such as “rape” and “sexual assault.”
Instead, they ask subjects highly specific questions about their actions and tactics. The focus of most sexual aggression research is acknowledged nonconsensual sexual behavior. In questionnaires and in follow-up interviews, subjects are surprisingly open about ignoring consent.
Men who rape tend to start young, in high school or the first couple of years of college, likely crossing a line with someone they know. Some of these men commit one or two sexual assaults and then stop. Others — no one can yet say what portion — maintain this behavior or even pick up the pace.
Antonia Abbey, a social psychologist at Wayne State University, has found that young men who expressed remorse were less likely to offend the following year, while those who blamed their victim were more likely to do it again. One repeat offender put it this way: “I felt I was repaying her for sexually arousing me.”
There is a heated debate among experts about whether there is a point at which sexual assault becomes an entrenched behavior and what percentage of assaults are committed by serial predators.
Most researchers agree that the line between the occasional and frequent offender is not so clear. The recent work of Kevin Swartout, a professor of psychology and public health at Georgia State University, suggests that low-frequency offenders are more common on college campuses than previously thought.
“It’s a matter of degree, more like dosage,” said Mary P. Koss, a professor of public health at the University of Arizona, who is credited with coining the term “date rape.”
Dosage of what? Certain factors — researchers call them “risk factors” while acknowledging that these men are nonetheless responsible for their actions — have an outsize presence among those who commit sexual assaults.
Heavy drinking, perceived pressure to have sex, a belief in “rape myths” — such as the idea that no means yes — are all risk factors among men who have committed sexual assault. A peer group that uses hostile language to describe women is another one.
Yet there also seem to be personal attributes that have a mediating effect on these factors. Men who are highly aroused by rape porn — another risk factor — are less likely to attempt sexual assault if they score highly on measures of empathy, Dr. Malamuth has found.
Narcissism seems to work in the other direction, magnifying odds that men will commit sexual assault and rape.
What about the idea that rape is about power over women? Some experts feel that research into hostile attitudes toward women supports this idea.
In general, however, researchers say motives are varied and difficult to quantify.
Dr. Malamuth has noticed that repeat offenders often tell similar stories of rejection in high school and of looking on as “jocks and the football players got all the attractive women.”
As these once-unpopular, often narcissistic men become more successful, he suspects that “getting back at these women, having power over them, seems to have become a source of arousal.”
Most subjects in these studies freely acknowledge nonconsensual sex — but that does not mean they consider it real rape. Researchers encounter this contradiction again and again. Indeed, experts note one last trait shared by men who have raped: they do not believe they are the problem.

A word from Robert Childs, SVP of Human Resources and Chief Learning Officer – American Express
“DIVERSITY is very important in the world and it’s much more than just representation of people. Representation is a start, but the reason you want to have representation from different points of view is so that you can bring them together and be more inclusive. The more you can become inclusive you gain different perspectives that make whatever you’re trying to do stronger. If you only do something from one point of view, it will not have the sustainability to live very long. The more you can bring different points of view, different cultures, different gender perspectives and have them work together, it will fortify what you’re trying to do.
Representation is the first step. Inclusion is the ultimate step.
I heard an expression that a consultant said that I just love. She said, ‘Representation is like being invited to the school dance. Dancing is the inclusion part to it.’
So we all want to dance with everyone else.”
What does DIVERSITY mean to you? Let us know in the comments.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining increased attention within the energy sector as policy makers look to move beyond decarbonising power to other sectors, including transport, and to tackle issues such as air pollution and the energy security implications of reliance on imported fossil fuels.
As well as providing environmental benefits, a number of organisations have highlighted that a rise in EVs could open up opportunities to enable grid flexibility and help with system balancing as EV batteries can be used as storage units. There are also a growing number of opportunities for companies working on developing technologies to make EVs more effective and more commercially viable. As such, businesses are increasingly calling for measures to support the transition away from fossil-fuel based vehicles.
Policy driving forward
In July the government launched its Road to Zero Strategy, which set out plans to meet a target for all new vehicles to be “effectively” zero emission by 2040 – and for every car and van to be zero emission by 2050. Building on the paper, the UK held its first Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) summit from 11-12 September at which Prime Minister Theresa May announced £106mn of government funding for projects developing innovative battery and vehicle technologies, along with £500mn from the private sector.
Similarly in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced on 4 September that this year the Scottish government will invest £15mn to add an additional 1,500 EV charge points across the country, split across homes and businesses. The announcement came as part plans to more than double investment in new ultra-low emission vehicles from £8mn to £20mn.
Demand for EVs in the UK is expected to experience huge growth in the 2020s and 2030s. According to the latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, this trend is already picking up pace with sales of EVs reaching a record high in August, accounting for one in 12 new cars purchased in the UK. It found year-to-date sales of hybrid and plug-in cars was up 27.4% on 2017.
Revving up business interest
Businesses are also showing increased interest in the EV sector. Speaking at the ZEV summit on the opportunities presented by EVs, Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Carolyn Fairbairn said: “[…] a new chapter in the history of transport is being written,” adding: “business is seizing this opportunity. Companies are pouring billions into innovation, research and development.”
Ahead of the ZEV summit groups of businesses, as well as NGOs, academics and policy makers, called for the government to seize the opportunity for the UK to become a leader in low-emission vehicles. Led by trade association Energy UK and low-carbon consortium the Aldersgate Group, whose members include former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott, National Grid and Tesco, the groups made several recommendations including bringing forward the government’s 2040 target, implementing affordable, efficient and reliable EV charging infrastructure, providing fiscal incentives to drive consumer interest in EVs, and work towards putting the UK at the forefront of global EV manufacturing through measures such as mandatory EV sales targets.
Elsewhere 11 major firms, including Sky and Siemens, announced support of London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plans for the city to transition towards zero-emission vehicles by 2025.
Fuelling opportunities for business
The £606mn of funding announced at the ZEV summit includes £200mn for 200 fast-charging stations, the establishment of the UK’s largest vehicle battery manufacturing plant in Coventry, due to open early 2019, and up to £50mn for a new R&D Innovation Centre for EVs, rail, and renewables. Other recent government funding announcements include a new competition under the Faraday battery challenge offering up to £25mn for businesses working on developing EV battery projects that reduce costs, increase energy density per battery cell and improve recyclability, and a share of up to £22mn from Innovate UK and the Office for Low Emission Vehicles for UK businesses working on the development of advanced power electronics, machines and drives for automotive applications, improved energy storage and management, and development of lightweight vehicles.
As well as these supply chain opportunities, a report published on 12 September by Innovate UK estimated that for every £1 invested in low or zero emissions vehicle projects, up to £8.40 could be returned to the economy over 5-10 years, and up to £22.60 over 10-15 years. It added that the profitability of such projects could reach £1.9bn over the next decade.
EVs could also be used as part of a more flexible energy system by feeding back, as well as drawing out, power to buildings or into the grid depending on where demand it – a system known as known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G). V2G – along with other forms of energy storage – is likely to become more necessary to help manage the grid as less flexible, intermittent renewable supply comes online.
A report by independent policy institute Chatham House published in August said that higher demand for EVs will put pressure on the electricity system to deliver more power and require significant network upgrades. However, it highlighted growing evidence that highly flexible electricity systems have the potential to lower whole-system costs, mainly due to dramatic declines in the costs of solar and wind technologies projected to 2030. It also said that an estimated £2.2bn worth of anticipated EV-related network upgrades could be avoided if smart charging and V2G trials currently underway proved successful. It also warned that these lower-cost systems were dependent on policy and regulatory action to stimulate enabling technologies including smart EV charging, battery storage and digital energy management.
In terms of unlocking capacity, Chatham House estimated that by 2030 smart EV charging could open up 11GW of additional flexibility, equivalent to 18% of current generating capacity. The Powerloop V2G consortium – which includes supplier Octopus Energy, Chargepoint Services and UK Power Networks – goes even further and recently suggested that if half of the 11mn EVs estimated by National Grid to be on UK roads by 2030 used V2G to power households during peak demand rather than drawing from the grid, an additional 38GW of electricity supply would become available.
A diverse range of businesses are showing growing interest in EVs and with good reason considering the funding and grid-balancing opportunities emerging.

Fierce! Singer Tinashe had her own photoshoot when she got out of the car at TAO restaurant in Hollywood, Calif.
The brunette beauty sported a red dress, which she paired silver heels and a silver necklace.
Scroll through the gallery below to see more snaps from her night out!
The 28-year-old is about to have a busy few days, as she is releasing her new album, 333, on Friday, August 6.
"For me, it was experimenting. I would get in the room, and I would say to producers, 'What is the weirdest beat that you have?' Because they would always play my something, that to me, would sound like something that they thought I would want every time," she told Zane Lowe of her upcoming tracks. "For me, it was finding the opposite of what I wanted and then kind of deconstructing it from there, and I think that was a really fun process."
"It's interesting because as far as we go, if we experiment really far out, we kind of always bring it back, to an extent as well, and I think that's kind of where my sweet spot lies in terms of experimentation and also kind of creating music that people can sing along to, in a sense," she added.
In 2019, Tinashe left RCA Records, and now she is able to work on her music on her own terms.
“Yeah, I feel like I’ve always naturally had an aversion to being put in a box,” she said. “I don’t like labels and having one perception of myself or one zone. In terms of genre, I don’t take that to heart as much anymore and make whatever I want to make.”
Ultimately, the Kentucky native doesn't want to be put into one category.
“I think it limits creatives in how they approach creating work,” she said. “If you’re creating for a specific sound, playlist, or genre as opposed to being limitless. I love using different vibes from different genres. I would love for there to be even more exploration and normalizing breaking down those genre barriers."
“We don’t talk enough about how genres are connected with how we look at race and the way that artists are placed in genres like how certain artists are pop versus R&B. I think a lot of genres were created to celebrate Black culture," she added.


The dynamics of a fluid on macroscopic and usually even on mesoscopic scales is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Solving them provides the velocity of a fluid at each point in space, where ?point? means in fact a region of space large compared to the microscopic scale of atoms and molecules. Solving the Navier-Stokes equation without attitional approximations (called direct numerical simulation, DNS) quickly reaches its limits due to necessity to resolve finer and finer scales as the flow becomes more turbulent. Why not use computer resources to attack the problem from the other side: a bottom-up approach using the full atomistic description of the fluid? Of course, the limits for atomistic computational fluid dynamics are even more restrictive than for DNS, but an atomistic approach promises new physical insight beyond the assumptions of the Navier-Stokes equations. We plan to assess the feasibility of at least two freely available molecular dynamics (MD) code, LAMMPS and NAMD, for large scale fluid dynamic simulations, evaluate their scale-up an size-up behavior on the some of the computer architectures provided by PRACE, and investigate the problem of handling the large amount of data generated, the parallel file IO, and come up with strategies to reduce the amount of data by on-the-fly analysis of the fluid dynamics generated by the MD simulation.


The Pakistan government has expressed its disappointment on the cancellation of a proposed meeting between External Affairs Minister (EAM) Sushma Swaraj and Pakistan Foreign Affairs Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi that was scheduled to take place on the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 2018 in New York. Pakistan has said that reasons cited by the Indian government for the decision to cancel the Foreign Ministers’ meeting, within 24 hours of its public confirmation, are entirely unconvincing.
Further speaking about reasons given by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for the cancellation of India-Pak talks, Pakistan said that the alleged killing of BSF soldier took place two days prior to the Indian announcement of its agreement to hold the bilateral meeting. Pakistan said that it had conveyed it to BSF through official channels that Pakistan is not involved in the killing of a BSF jawan. Islamabad mentioned that in fact Pakistan Rangers had extended help to locate the soldier’s body.
Pakistan said that this was known to the Indian government and also the Indian media had reported about it, but even then India continued its motivated and malicious propaganda. Islamabad further said that they completely reject India’s claim and will also conduct a joint investigation to establish the truth.
Speaking about the Burhan Wani postage stamps, Pakistan said that they issued before July 25, 2018 elections. Pakistan alleged that the stamps highlighted gross and systematic human rights violations in Kashmir, which were extensively documented in a comprehensive report issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights as late as June 2018.
Pakistan has blamed India for falsely raising the terrorism issue and once again alleged that India cannot hide its unspeakable crimes against the Kashmiri people. Pakistan in its statement has also said that MEA’s statement on Imran Khan are against all norms of civilised discourse and diplomatic communication.
Pakistan mentioned that Imran Khan since the day he took as Prime Minister had expressed his forward-looking vision of Pakistan-India relations. Pakistan in its statement reiterated what Imran Khan had said that if India will take one step forward then Pakistan will take two.
Islamabad said that Imran Khan had welcomed Prime Minister Modi’s call for constructive engagement and proposed the meeting of the two Foreign Ministers in New York. Pakistan has blamed India for wasting a serious opportunity to change the present status of India-Pakistan bilateral relationship.


Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) announced that the U.S. Senate has passed a transportation bill that will create jobs in Pennsylvania and improve the state's aging infrastructure. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act will direct nearly $3.2 billion to Pennsylvania over the next two years and maintain current levels of funding for the remainder of fiscal year 2012.
"This transportation bill will create jobs and improve roads and bridges throughout Pennsylvania," Casey said. "I'm pleased that several provisions I authored to improve infrastructure for Pennsylvanians have been included in the bill, which will invest in bridges maintained by counties and provide more flexibility to states when they use their transportation resources."
The bill includes several measures authored by Senator Casey which will aid the Commonwealth:
Improve Bridges Maintained By Counties: Senator Casey's provision would establish a dedicated revenue stream through the Off-System Bridge Program for bridges that are not on federal-aid or the National Highway System. Senator Casey's amendment ensures that counties are not left bearing the full responsibility of the cost of their off-system bridge needs. It gives states and counties the proper tools and the assurance of a steady flow of funding needed to maintain our nation's bridges. A list of off system bridges is below.
Invest in Route 219 and Bolster the Appalachian Highway System: A Casey provision will provide states with more flexibility as they use their transportation resources. Casey's provision will allow toll credits to fund Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) projects. The measure will also allow the federal cost share on ADHS projects to increase from 80% to 100%.

SGCs are used to produce hot-mix asphalt (HMA) specimens in the laboratory to assess volumetric properties and predict pavement performance. In the fabrication of an SGC specimen in accordance with Test Method D 6925, loose HMA is placed inside a metal mold, which is then placed into an SGC. A constant consolidation pressure is applied to the sample while the mold gyrates at a nominally constant angle (referred to as the angle of gyration) and rate. Consistency in the density of the asphalt specimens produced as measured by Test Methods D 2726 or D 6752 is very important to the validity of the tests performed. Specimens of a consistent density are produced when an SGC maintains a constant pressure and a known constant angle of gyration during the compaction process.
There are several manufacturers and models of SGC. Each model employs a unique method of setting, inducing, and maintaining the angle of gyration. Each model also employs a unique calibration system to measure the external angle of gyration. These existing calibration systems can not be used universally on all of the different SGC models commercially available. Inconsistencies in asphalt specimens produced on different SGC models have been at least partially attributed to variations in the angle of gyration.
This method describes instruments and processes that can be used to independently measure the internal angle of gyration of any manufacturers' SGC model under simulated loading conditions. The external shape of the instrument chassis assures that the points of physical contact between the mold end plates and the instrument occur at a fixed and known distance away from the axis of gyration. As a result, the vertical load is applied at these fixed points, creating tilting moments at each end of the mold.
Unless otherwise specified, a tilting moment of 466.5 N-m shall be applied to the SGC by the instrument while making this measurement.
Note 1-The quality of the results produced by this test method are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D 3666 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/ins
Note 2-A 466.5 N-m tilting moment corresponds to a 22 mm eccentric on the AFLS1 or a 21 deg cone angle on the DAVII-HMS with an applied load of 10603 N (600 kPa at a 150 mm diameter specimen setting).View Less
1.1 This test method covers the procedure for the measurement of the Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) internal angle of gyration using an instrument capable of simulating loading conditions similar to those created by a hot mix asphalt specimen.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.


The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has put together a list of the cities participating in the Earth Hour City Challenge. Within that list, WWF lists Chicago, Cincinnati and San Francisco as the three finalists in World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour City Challenge for 2013. More from World Wildlife Fund:
The cities were chosen by WWF and global management consultancy Accenture in recognition of the steps their community has taken to prepare for increasingly extreme weather and transition towards a 100% renewable energy future. The finalists were selected among 29 of the most forward-thinking cities in the country which have all committed to minimize their carbon footprint and ready their communities for the dangerous local consequences of climate change.
Cincinnati is developing a power aggregation agreement that would make it the largest city in the U.S. to supply its energy entirely from renewable sources and committing to reducing carbon emissions two percent annually for 42 years. The city is also working with residents, businesses and community leaders throughout the city to adopt climate-smart policies; expanding current tree planting efforts, promoting metro ridership, educating students about sustainability and conducting energy audits for local non-profits.

Neutrophil-derived proteases escalate inflammation through activation of IL-36 family cytokines
June 30, 2016
Recent evidence has strongly implicated the IL-1 family cytokines IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ as key initiators of skin inflammation. Similar to the other members of the IL-1 family, IL-36 cytokines are expressed as inactive precursors and require proteolytic processing for activation; however, the responsible proteases are unknown. Here, we show that IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ are activated differentially by the neutrophil granule-derived proteases cathepsin G, elastase, and proteinase-3, increasing their biological activity ~500-fold. Active IL-36 promoted a strong pro-inflammatory signature in primary keratinocytes and was sufficient to perturb skin differentiation in a reconstituted 3D human skin model, producing features resembling psoriasis. Furthermore, skin eluates from psoriasis patients displayed significantly elevated cathepsin G-like activity that was sufficient to activate IL-36β. These data identify neutrophil granule proteases as potent IL-36-activating enzymes, adding to our understanding of how neutrophils escalate inflammatory reactions. Inhibition of neutrophil-derived proteases may therefore have therapeutic benefits in psoriasis.

Former state Rep. Ed Henry of Hartselle intends to change his plea from not guilty to guilty in a federal case involving alleged health care fraud, according to a court document.
Henry’s lawyer, Maxwell Pulliam, filed the notice of the intent to change plea in U.S. District Court in Montgomery today.
The notice says the decision is based on a plea agreement offered by the U.S. attorney’s office. The document provides no information about the plea agreement. Pulliam said today he could not comment at this time but would do so when he could.
Doug Howard, special assistant U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Alabama, said he could not comment on the contents of the plea agreement.
The charges involved a company owned by Henry that provided chronic care management to patients. The charges included conspiracy to defraud Medicare and violation of an anti-kickback law. Chronic care management can include services such as monitoring and updating a comprehensive care plan, arranging appointments and calling in prescriptions, according to Henry’s indictment. Medicare covers chronic care management under certain circumstances. ,
Court records show that another defendant in the case, Nicole D. Scruggs, a physician in Huntsville, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and to pay and receive kickbacks in relation to a federal health care program.
Scruggs’ plea agreement was filed in court today.
The plea agreement says that in December 2016, Scruggs and Henry entered an agreement for Henry’s company, MyPractice24, to provide chronic care management to Scruggs’ patients. Scruggs paid Henry’s company $23 per month per patient provided that Medicare reimbursed for the care.
To induce Scruggs into that arrangement, the plea agreement says Henry provided a full-time employee to Scruggs paid by Henry’s company. That employee worked as a receptionist and nurse for Scruggs, in addition to the work related to chronic care management, the plea agreement says. Henry permitted the employee to do this work to induce Scruggs to refer patients to Henry’s company, Scruggs’ plea agreement says.
The plea agreement also says Scruggs and Henry knew that Scruggs did not collect co-pays from patients referred to Henry’s company. The indictment said the practice of not collecting co-pays created the potential that patients received unnecessary services that were paid for by Medicare.
Scruggs is scheduled to be sentenced on March 21. Scruggs’ plea agreement says Scruggs assisted prosecutors and says prosecutors will recommend a reduced sentence. The maximum sentence would have been five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
A third defendant in the case, Punuru Reddy, a physician in Decatur, has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers have previously issued a statement denying any wrongdoing by the doctor.
Updated at 4:54 p.m. to provide information about Nicole Scruggs' plea agreement..

About the workshop


- These community health centers take pressure off emergency rooms, where the uninsured often go for non-emergency care when they have nowhere else to turn.
- Bush's expansion of the clinics—now serving 16 million patients, up 60% under Bush's watch—is the alrgest boost to the community health center program since it started under LBJ.
- A third of the patients served are Hispanic (yup, we're helping immigrants, also known as our fellow man).
- Far from fitting the Limbaugh stereotype of wasteful government operations, community health centers are a model of efficiency: for an investment of $2.1 billion in current federal funding, these clinics return savings for the health care system of $17.6 billion a year.
Though United Neighborhood Health Services has more than doubled in size this decade, Ms. Bufwack, its chief executive, manages to run five neighborhood clinics, five school clinics, a homeless clinic, two mobile clinics and a rural clinic, with 24,391 patients, on a budget of $8.1 million. Starting pay for her doctors is $120,000. Patients are charged on an income-based sliding scale, and the uninsured are expected to pay at least $20 for an office visit. One clinic is housed in a double-wide trailer [Kevin Sack, "Bush Has Built Foundation for Improved Health Care," New York Times, 2008.12.25].
The Times notes that these clinics provide great backup for whatever plans President Obama and Secretary Daschle may come up with to help the uninsured. If Obama and Daschle can't win funding for full-tilt health care reform, "a vast expansion of community health centers may again serve as a stopgap while universal coverage waits for flusher times" [Sack]. The community centers are on Obama's radar: this August, Senator Obama sponsored legislation to quadruple funding for these centers. Michelle Obama worked with community health centers in Chicago.
Bob Ellis once echoed some wishful rhetoric from the McCain campaign, saying that the use of community health centers to provide more cost-effective care and take pressure off emergency rooms was just "a liberal's idea of compassionate health care." Who would have thought that liberal was George W. Bush?
I'm man enough to admit President Bush has done some good things during his eight years. Bush's talk of compassionate conservatism was part of why I was willing to cheer his victory in 2000. His expansion of community health centers shows that even Republicans recognize the government can do some things, like health care, right. If Bush had focused more on programs like that, he might have kept a lot more of us cheering for him rather than for his departure.

Samurai sword-wielding 'children' in masks launch a terrifying attack on a defenceless shopkeeper as he desperatel ytries to fend them off.
The gang of yobs, who were also brandishing a hammer, burst into the shop in Merseyside and took a swing at the shop assistant.
Chilling CCTV footage shows one of the hooded thugs point a Samurai sword at the worker's throat.
The robber with the sword slashes and hacks it through the air at the shop assistant, while another man points a hammer at him.
In the footage the shop owner tries to stop the gang, who begin to raid his counter top of items, but he narrowly avoids having his arm chopped up by the thug armed with the sword.
Meanwhile the other two members of the armed gang filled up bags of mobile phone products from the smashed counter.
Bravely, the shop assistant steps forward and tries to thwart the gang, while seemingly making a phone call to police on a tablet device.
The man with the sword continues to slash it through the air as he leaves the shop.
The gang are then seen to run out of the front of the shop, however instead of immediately fleeing they then begin to use their weapons to smash the front window before running away.
The armed attack happened on February 22, at around 6.30pm, at Top Class Shoe Repairs, in Walton Vale, Merseyside.

Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas will today assume the presidency of the Group of 77 developing nations (G77) at a ceremony hosted by the UN General Assembly. According to PA spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the appointment, which he described as "an important historical event added to the political achievements of the State of Palestine," will enable the assertion of Palestinian identity, "which colonial powers have tried to abolish over many centuries."
The G77, established in 1964, has now expanded to include 134 countries. It stipulates the organisation's aim to "articulate and promote their collective economic interests" within the UN structure. Article VI of the "Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Developing Countries" which recognises the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) partly states that, "The injustice and neglect of centuries need to be redressed."
Like other UN initiatives, such a noble aim cannot be followed through. The "collective economic interests" are subject to different political realities and allegiances. Palestine's economy, for example, is dependent entirely on that of the occupying power, Israel. Furthermore, the discrepancies between the PA's hyperbole and reality are being accentuated with the emphasis on "gaining international recognition", which has become the only accepted means of asserting a Palestinian presence in global forums.
It is thus becoming even more important than ever to dissociate the PA from the Palestinians, not least because the Ramallah-based leadership has conspired with the international community in determining which aspects of international law should and, perhaps more importantly, should not be applicable to Palestine and the Palestinians.
Abbas has contributed to creating perpetual "humanitarian crisis" conditions among Palestinians due to the PA's dependence upon Israel and the international community. What's more, its oppressive punitive measures against its own citizens in Gaza have elicited no outcry from UN organisations, despite their stated raison d'être of safeguarding human rights and providing opportunities for political, social and economic improvement.
UNCTAD's September 2018 report describes Palestine's economic reality as ongoing "de-development" and mentions decreases in donor support as one of the main reasons for this deterioration.
Abbas's G77 appointment might well be prestigious for the PA, but it does not translate into empowerment of the Palestinian population within the international arena. Lauding this venture glosses over the fact that the G77 is still very much part of a system that has not yet eliminated colonialism. It has, instead, elected a leading colonial collaborator — Abbas himself — to divert attention from the fact that Palestine and Palestinians are a colonised land and people. As long as the PA allows the international community to manipulate Palestinians' reality, and it will continue doing so for its own benefit, there is no way that any international appointment of a PA official — least of all one whose official mandate expired 10 years ago — can be considered as an "important historical event".
Furthermore, what is the "Palestinian identity" which, claims Abu Rudeineh, Abbas will be asserting at the G77? The PA's dissociation from this identity constitutes the biggest impediment to any such declaration. Palestinian identity has historical roots, while the PA's existence and identity is derived from the Oslo Accords, which have failed miserably to achieve their targets, other than to create an entity which protects Israel and its occupation of Palestine. The truth is that the PA has constructed an identity that fits the parameters established by the international community and labelled it as "Palestinian". This travesty will more than likely continue to be the premise upon which Palestinians are denied their freedom in perpetuity.

The Ukraine have beaten Australia Gold in their Hopman Cup tie, knocking Jarmila Wolfe and Lleyton Hewitt out of the tournament.
Australia's Jarmila Wolfe went down to Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-3, with the Ukranian making it three wins from three matches in a perfect lead up to the Australian Open.
Svitolina proved far too consistent for Wolfe, hitting just 11 unforced errors over the course of the match, compared to the Aussie's 33 errors.
Alexander Dolgopolov then cemented the Ukraine's spot in Saturday's Hopman Cup final, with a three set victory over Lleyton Hewitt.
Hewitt took the first set, before Dolgopolov proved too strong, eventually recording a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over the 34-year-old Australian.

The Mi 11 Lite color options were revealed ahead of its launch in India on June 22. Xiaomi India took to Twitter to share the three color options the phone will launch in. He also shared a short video showing the design of the phone’s back panel in all three colors. The Mi 11 Lite 4G and 5G variants were launched in March in the European market and, for now, only the 4G variant is expected to arrive in India. As the name suggests, the Mi 11 Lite is a toned down version of the Mi 11 that has yet to make its way into the Indian market.
Xiaomi India shared in a tweet that the Mi 11 Lite will come in three color options, namely Jazz Blue, Tuscany Coral and Vinyl Black. He added that the three colors were inspired respectively by a musical genre, a region of Italy and phonographic records. The video shows the phone’s back panel in all three color options, which also shows its triple rear camera setup.
Mi 11 Lite will launch in India on June 22 at 12 p.m. (noon). It will be sold through Flipkart. Notably, the Mi 11 Lite 4G model launched in the European market was available in the colors Boba Black, Bubblegum Blue and Peach Pink.
While the company hasn’t shared pricing and specs for the Mi 11 Lite, the European launch gives us an idea of what to expect.
Mi 11 Lite 4G price in India (expected)
Mi 11 Lite starts at 299 EUR (around Rs. 26,600) and for the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant. There is also a 6GB + 128GB storage option, but its price is unclear. . Indian prices for phones are generally lower than European prices. Therefore, the price of Mi 11 Lite could be lower than Rs in India. 25,000.
Mi 11 Lite 4G specifications (European variant)
Mi 11 Lite has a 6.55-inch (1080 x 2400 pixels) Full HD + display with a maximum brightness of 800 nits, a refresh rate of 90 Hz, supports HDR10 and comes with protection Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G SoC, coupled with up to 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 128 GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

On the front, the phone has a 16-megapixel selfie with an f / 2.45 aperture.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, 4G, Bluetooth v5.1, NFC, GPS, and a USB Type-C port for charging. The sensors on board the Mi 11 Lite 4G include a proximity sensor, an ambient light sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, an electronic compass, a linear motor and an IR Blaster. There’s also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone packs a 4,250mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. In terms of dimensions, the Mi 11 Lite 4G measures 160.53×75.73×6.81mm and weighs just 157 grams.

1978 Honda CB 400 Four F2 - Immaculate UK Example SOLD

|1978 Honda CB400 Four F2|
• UK Supplied Example
• 25,032 Miles
• Desirable Parakeet Yellow
• Frame Number 1073946
Following the release of the CB750 in 1969, Honda brought a string of smaller capacity four cylinder bikes to the table. First the CB500 in 1971, the CB350 in 1972 and then in 1974, the CB400. This bike featured more svelte styling than its predecessor, a larger bore engine, modified cylinder head resulting in a higher compression ratio and an eye catching 4 into 1 exhaust system.
The CB400 Four was aimed at the sporting market, and despite it lacking acceleration against the two stroke competition of the time, it made up for this in refinement; the small-displacement four-stroke being smoother, quieter and much more economical than the two-strokes. To help keep the engine in its power band, Honda employed a six-speed transmission—something which at the time was extremely rare, especially on small displacement bikes.
Praising the renewed focus over the CB350, reviewers cited the CB400’s sweet handling that helped Ron Haslam win the 1980 Formula 3 title and, also come third in the F3 class at the Isle of Man TT on the same machine. The CB400 was a very successful motorcycle in club and privateer racing too. Kaz Yoshima and other racers were able to take Honda’s little 408 cc engine up to 490 cc and with the addition of other racer options, this small bore was considered a giant killer.
The diminutive, nimble bike was capable of speeds in excess of 100mph, and produced a claimed 37bhp at 8,500rpm in stock form. The engine exhibited a huge willingness to rev and when all of this was combined with electric or kick start, a centre stand and lighting fast steering, this made for a usable, fun and popular bike which ended up selling over 105,000 units.
Various variants were provided by Honda, the F, F1 and F2. The F2 started at frame number 1073400, was available in Parakeet Yellow and Candy Antares Red, and featured frame mounted rear footrests as opposed to the swinging arm mounted rear footrests seen on the F, revised shortly before the release of the F1. A restyled fuel tank and decal design was also introduced for the F2 variant.
Moto Classica Limited are extremely proud to have available CB400F2-1073946, a UK supplied example finished in the most desirable colour of parakeet yellow, extensively restored to a concours standard and accompanied by a comprehensive history file. We look forward to introducing this lovely classic to its new owner.

A study by Better Future Child Health (HBBF), led by research director Jane Hollihan, found toxic ingredients in 95% of them.
The researchers tested 168 kinds of baby food in the United States and found that 95% of the tested baby food contained one or more of these toxic metals.
94% of these foods contained lead, 75% contained cadmium, 73% had arsenic, and 32% had mercury.
Among the foods that pose the greatest risk of exposure to heavy metals are foods based on rice, carrots, sweet potatoes and fruit juices.
Even small amounts of toxins in this food can alter the developing brain and erode a child's IQ, the report says.
In a study published by Columbia University in 2004, it was found that children from Bangladesh were exposed to arsenic poisoning from drinking water and did not achieve good results in their study tests.
She also explained that because of water arsenic, it also means that it is transferred to food, especially rice, which absorbs a lot of water compared to other grains.
The results also showed that one in four baby foods tested contained all four minerals, and only 9 out of 168 food items did not contain toxic metals.
Among the most toxic foods for infants are rice snacks, rice cereals for infants and teething biscuits.
These baby foods contain not only toxic inorganic arsenic, but also contaminants of all four toxic metals, the report said.

About the Payton James Freeman Prize
The Payton Prize is sponsored by the Freeman family in honor of their son Payton James Freeman. Payton’s ability to move – even to smile – was stolen by a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Diagnosed as an infant, Payton was expected to live perhaps six months. Instead he fought for five and a half years as his parents worked with doctors and scientists, fundraising in hopes of a cure.
SMA ultimately took Payton’s life, but his story lives on in all those who continue striving against uncountable odds, and who struggle to put life’s most complex and trying events into words.

2021 Top Operators Report: Producers Focus On Financial Health, Operational Excellence, Shareholder Interests, And ESG Concerns
Editor’s note: Last year, when assembling the 2020 Top Operators Report, the COVID-19 pandemic had shuttered the global economy. Oil demand had been reduced by over 20 million bbls/d and prices were at lows not seen in decades.
The mood of the Canadian industry was grim. After five years of being rocked by wild price volatility the pandemic hit like a knockout punch.
The 2021 Top Operators Report looks back at how Canada’s oil and gas leaders pivoted to meet the challenges of 2020, and how they are positioning their organizations for future success.
Once again, we have tapped into the experience of professional services firm KPMG in Canada to provide insight into what strategies operators could pursue to thrive in the current environment.
The report also features a broad swath of the insights and opinions from industry leaders gleaned from Daily Oil Bulletin coverage, along with commentary from data providers Evaluate Energy and CanOils.
The worst is over.
As the pandemic recedes the global economy is gradually getting back on its feet.
Oil prices have bounced back and are now trading in the US$70/bbl range, generating free cash flow for Canadian operators after flat-lining for most of 2020. Natural gas prices are also at profitable levels for most operators, hovering at around C$3.00/GJ this summer.
But that doesn’t mean oil and gas operators can relax and let down their guard, said Michael McKerracher, National Energy Leader for KPMG in Canada.
“Oil prices are at a plateau and could move either way. There are as many optimists as pessimists in the market. The OPEC+ group needs to manage supply well.”
Given this market uncertainty operators must balance how they invest cash flows, he said. Repairing balance sheets remains the main priority, as it was before the pandemic.
“You need a healthy balance sheet. It was apparent a number of companies were challenged in staying solvent,” explained McKerracher. “Large companies had the support of the debt markets and banks through the whole period. Smaller producers had to live through a tough environment. There was a lot of carnage along the way. Lots of good producers didn’t make it.”
As a result, “many companies are now focused on paying down debt,” he noted. “Debt structures are being realigned as investors want lower debt to cash flow ratios.”
After a tough last five years investors are looking to see a return on capital. They are also looking for improved ESG performance and a strategy for successfully navigating the energy transition as it gains momentum.
“Yield, dividends, share repurchases, capital expenditures, energy transition type costs — CFOs are trying to balance all these challenges,” said McKerracher, adding that methods to return capital to shareholders will vary according to each operator’s circumstances. “If you are not sure you can sustain dividend increases, then share buybacks make sense as they can be more flexible. Investors want increasing dividends but they don’t want them going up and down.”
There is a push by more optimistic analysts to see industry plow money back into capital expenditures to grow production. But McKerracher said it is unlikely large companies will adjust spending plans this year.
“Some smaller companies are going to spend to grow to a size to be noticed by analysts and investors. They want to grow to a size that investors are willing to play.”
The long-term effort to cut costs and improve operational efficiency is expected to continue, he added, although the focus is changing towards investment in technology and away from lay-offs and service price concessions.
“Energy producers have driven most energy service companies to the point they can no longer reinvest to maintain operations. Some producers are realizing that and don’t want companies to go under. They want to maintain a competitive market.
Other than technology advances, there isn’t a lot of additional cost savings outside of M&A activity.”
Technology, whether subsurface or in the back office, will be the next target for investment to improve productivity and drive out costs. McKerracher sees significant opportunities in automating back office functions and leveraging data analytics to improve decision-making throughout organizations.
He also expects a growing focus on ESG and energy transition efforts as governments around the world push for what they call a “new normal.” But he urges caution in how these transition choices are made.
“We’ve seen majors divest of oilsands plays or sell assets to look better in the ESG environment but this reduces cash flows and then they don’t have anything left to reinvest,” he explained. “It’s not a real strategy for the energy transition.”
The KPMG National Energy Leader also questions whether spending on carbon credits is a good long-term strategy.
“Companies shouldn’t be buying carbon credits halfway around the world,” he explained. “They have to build emissions reductions into their operations through technology like carbon capture, methane mitigation, or better cokers. Investing in technologies or processes core to their operations that reduce carbon will stand the test of time rather than buying credits where you don’t know their quality over time. Credits are risky long-term. Global sentiment wants investment in the energy transition and we expect CFOs to spend as it fits into their operations.”
So, what looks like success in the post pandemic era?
“Long-term lower debt, a sustainable dividend, and having the money to allocate to carbon zero efforts. I don’t think industry will have an easy go of it. Production is needed now and for decades to come, but it’s not going to get any easier.”

Since 2016 Senzacornice has been collaborating on the project for the census of the contemporary art archives in Tuscany,in the framework of the agreement for the enhancement of the archive heritage, coordination of operations and protection for archives and libraries. This agreement wasdrawn up by the Tuscan Soprintendenza Archivistica e Bibliograficaand by the Tuscan Regional Authority in partnership with the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci.
Within the framework of the census of the contemporary art archives in Tuscany, Alessandra Acocella and Caterina Toschi have curated a project, produced by Senzacornice and sponsored by the Tuscan Regional Authority with the support of the Fondazione CR Firenze. This project is aimed at the enhancement of one of the most important book and archive fonds conserving memory of the recent Tuscan artistic scene: the archive of Base/Progetti per l’arte. This artists collective was founded in 1998 by Mario Airò, Marco Bagnoli, Massimo Bartolini, Vittorio Cavallini, Yuki Ichihashi, Paolo Masi, Massimo Nannucci, Maurizio Nannucci, Paolo Parisi, Remo Salvadori and Enrico Vezzi, with the coordination of Lorenzo Bruni, along with the namesake artist-run space in Via San Niccolò 18r in Florence (www.baseitaly.org). To mark the twentieth anniversary of this initiative, Senzacornice has brought together a selection of archive materials on the memory of these last twenty years of projects “by artists for artists” at Base. On this occasion, the documentary and photographic materials from the Base/Progetti per l’arte archive were digitised so as to create an initial digital archive on the history of the collective also accessible online.
