KWASU Council requests Ahmed to Rename KWASU After Saraki
The Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council, Senator Muhammed Sha'aba Lafiagi, while making the presentation in Ilorin to the Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed, said the request was an acknowledgment of late Dr Olusola Saraki's contributions to educational development in the country.
According to him, the University Community acknowledged Dr Saraki's "immense contribution to education through the award of scholarship to indigent students and sponsorship of several youths to Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, apart from frequent monetary intervention to parents and guardians to offset the school fees of their wards."
Senator Lafiagi, who is also a former Governor of Kwara State, said the presentation of the request for name change was made to Governor Ahmed so that the State House of Assembly could amend the relevant laws which established the Kwara State University to reflect the proposed name change.
Responding, Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed commended the University Community for the request, adding that the change of the name of the institution would serve as a platform for Nigerians to remember Late Dr Saraki's contributions and motivate future generations on the cause of humanity.
Governor Ahmed recalled that Late Dr Sola Saraki who was the Senate Leader in the Second Republic, was a major factor in fostering credible political direction in Kwara State and beyond as he left clear examples of how people should be mentored to live a better life.
Governor Ahmed also reiterated the resolve of his administration to put the State University on sound footing so that it could impact meaningfully on the entrenchment of qualitative and result oriented education in the society.
He assured the council and the entire KWASU community that the request for the change of name of Kwara State to either Sola Saraki University or Abubakar Sola Saraki University would be forwarded to the State House of Assembly for necessary legislative action.

Nice looking hotel and that's about it.Posted Feb 2, 2015
Cons: Include breakfast at no extra charge. Get rid if the over priced restaurant that serves low level entres.
First of all the hotel is nicely decorated. The bed was nice and the rooms were clean. The restaurant was so expensive. When we ate dinner there was no one else there and now we know why. There was not a meal under $28. The hotel didn't offer a free continental breakfast. You either had to pay (over priced) or pay extra when u book the room. There is a fridge in the room but no microwave. There are hotels in the same area that are just as nice but offer breakfast and free amenities.

The hotel itself was good. However, we ate breakfast at the Cyprus restaurant and found it to be very expensive. There was no one there to seat us so we thought you were to get your buffet food and seat yourself. We did end up getting seated while we were standing there with our plates. It was myself and three girls who didn't eat much. The food was just okay, not very warm. When I received the check and found it was $14 a person I was disappointed at the cost for the food quality.

Will Definitely be returning.Posted Dec 15, 2014
Pros: Staff, Facilities, and Room were excellent for the rate.
Cons: Noisy Heat/Air Unit, Room Refridgerator
Location: Good Location in Central Tulsa. Close to the Tulsa Zoo, Jenks Aquarium, etc.
Stayed one night. Excellent rate for the size of the room and the auxillary facilities. My parth used both the pool and workout areas, both were much better sized and equipped than hotels with comparable rates. Both were cleaned at least once while we were inside. The breakfast which we had included in our room fare, was fantastic. Attentive staff and food was well above average quality. The room (and bathroom) were very large and comfy. The only negative was the loud heating and air system.

As a writer Karen Reeder’s true desire is to entertain people who read her stories. With some of her short stories Karen hopes to help people feel connected who have struggled in life and worked through overcoming life’s struggles. Her wish is that her books will give encouragement to others, give them a feeling that they are not alone, as well as helping those who have gone through challenges to know they can overcome any struggle and make a new life that they love. Karen wants to bring joy to anyone who reads her stories and hopefully introduce the healing properties of reading to others.
Karen’s obsession for words and books began at an early age. She grew up in Denver, Colorado and one of her defining experiences relating to books happened at the end of Kindergarten. The library bookmobile is a treasured memory that defined Karen’s love of books and during the summer she would wait with anticipation for the next visit and the thrill of looking through all the books. From that moment on Karen loved to read books and as a result learned she loved to write. Karen knew in second grade she wanted to become a writer.
Karen worked full time jobs, managing to support herself and pay for college. She worked during the days and took classes at night. Karen began college working toward a degree in Psychology, even though she had continued to write, she wanted to help others with the pain and challenges many encounter in life. Karen was six months from finishing her degree when she married and within the first year of marriage had her son, she postponed college and completing her degree while she had another son and raised her boys. Karen continued to write and introduce the love of books and reading to her boys. Once both boys were in school Karen decided to resume her goal of obtaining her college degree. At this point; however, Karen knew she would be dividing her time between finishing school, family and starting a career, so she gave some serious thought to what she felt the most passionate about in life. She knew she wanted to help others and she loved to write; therefore, she decided to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in Creative Writing. Karen graduated from Southern New Hampshire University with a BA in English specializing in Creative Writing, Summa Cum Laude in the spring of 2016.
Karen is currently working on writing many short stories; she has plans for two novels, and is in the process of working on one of the novels.
One thought on “Author Bio”
Dear Karen, your post has inspired me to continue with my own writing career. There are times when I want to quit. I let things get in the way of my writing sometimes, but your goal in writing is the same as mine. I want to make people smile; make people happy and help them with their struggles. Thanks, Karen!

Pediatrics is a branch of Medicine Dealing with health and Medical care of infants, children and adolescents from birthup to the the age of 18 years.
The World "Paediatrics" mean the healers of children.
Pediatrics is a relatively new medical speciality developing only in the mid 19 century. A pediatrician is a child physician who provides not only the medical care for children who are acutely or chronically ill but also preventive health services for healthy children.
Pediatrics is different from adult medicines in more ways than one, the smaller body of an infant or neonate or a child is substantially different physiologically from that of an adult, so treating children is not like treating a miniature adult. Congential defects, genetic varience and developmental issues are of greater concern to pediatricians than physicians treating adults.

INCUMBENT: “Bodi” White (Republican)
DESCRIPTION: Senate District 6 is a sprawling district that is located in the Florida Parishes and contains parts of four parishes. It begins in Ponchatoula in Tangipahoa Parish and travels up I-55 almost to the town of Independence. It then includes two connecting pieces: a “connecting precinct” in northeast Livingston Parish, and the southern fringe of Saint Helena Parish south of LA 16. Those pieces then connect to East Baton Rouge Parish, where the district meanders south through most of Central, on the way to picking up most of the southeastern portion of East Baton Rouge Parish between O’Neal Lane and the Amite River.
RED/BLUE RATING (using 2008, 2012, and 2014 elections): 68% Republican
JMCEL’s SUMMARY: Senate District 6 is the one state senate district that has twice (in recent memory) seen its basic personality change overnight as a result of reapportionment. Prior to 1991, it was based in Uptown New Orleans and Metairie. The 1991 redistricting made this a much more elongated district by crossing Lake Pontchartrain to include portions of Saint Tammany and southern Tangipahoa Parishes. There was a political reason for this reconfiguration: when the seat opened up in 1987, representative (and former House Speaker) John Hainkel was elected to the seat, and he was not a favorite of former Senate President Sammy Nunez, who was reinstalled as Senate President in a 1990 leadership coup that ousted Governor Roemer’s handpicked choice. This leadership change had political repercussions: the late John Maginnis noted that the two underlying themes of the 1991 reapportionment were “to protect the leadership’s majority and..to destroy its opponents.”
While Senator Hainkel saw his re-election percentage drop to 62% in 1991, he was able to entrench himself in subsequent elections until his death in 2005. He was succeeded in a special election later that year by Metairie Republican Julie Quinn, who represented the district until it was eliminated in the 2011 reapportionment.
The 2011 reapportionment again changed the basic character of the district by moving it “across the lake” to Baton Rouge and Hammond, with territory in Livingston and Saint Helena Parish connecting the two cities. On paper, this new configuration favored East Baton Rouge Parish (60% of the vote was cast there), but the East Baton Rouge precincts contained portions of Central and southeast Baton Rouge, which are two distinct parts of the parish. The newest incarnation of the district has a basic Republican preference, but the district has a 23% black voter registration, as it contains black neighborhoods in Hammond and along O’Neal Lane in Baton Rouge.
In the open seat race in 2011, two Republicans sought the seat, and (then) Representative “Bodi” White was able to eke out a 52% victory, thanks to a strong vote from the southeast Baton Rouge precincts. Senator White is allowed to serve two more terms, and is probably a safe bet for re-election, although the fact that the district is an amalgamation of three distinct areas (Central, southeast Baton Rouge, and Hammond/Ponchatoula) makes representing this district a challenge for any incumbent.

This year we have a lot of Busterthon regulars as well as some new faces. A hearty welcome to all–this event is shaping up to be as exciting and enlightening as previous years!
So for this year’s ‘thon, I’ve decided to give away a copy of the book Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton by noted film historian/modern day detective John Bengtson. This essential work covers Buster’s numerous filming locations, from shorts to masterpieces like The General, in minute and copiously-illustrated detail.

Zoran Jesic, a survivor from landmine, is delivering the statement on Victim Assistance on behalf of the ICBL and stessing the importance for States to assist people injured by landmines and ERW, the families of those killed and injured, and affected comm | ©HI
From 21st to 25th November 2022, HI took part in the 20th Meeting of the States Parties to the Ottawa Treaty, a good opportunity to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Treaty and the 30th anniversary of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
As a co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), HI took part to the Meeting of the States Parties to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), at the UN in Geneva, under the Colombian presidency. It was the occasion to celebrate the successes of the Ottawa Treaty but also address the remaining and new challenges.
Like every year, HI participated in the Meeting of States Parties to the APMBC together with other civil society organizations, survivors, UN agencies, the ICRC as well as representatives of more than 100 of the 164 States that have accepted to be bound by the Convention. A dozen of the 33 states not party to the Convention, such as Lebanon, Myanmar, Laos or Israel were also present to follow the discussion.
This 20th meeting of the States Parties was the occasion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ottawa Treaty which marked an unprecedented diplomatic victory and led to a decline in the number of casualties, the clearance of some contaminated areas, the destruction of millions of mines and the implementation of activities to assist victims.
However, remaining and new challenges have also been discussed. Indeed, after 15 years of steady decline, the number of casualties of landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) has been increasing – reaching 5.544 in 2021 according to the Landmine Monitor. In 2022, the use of landmines by the Russian and Myanmar armies, as well as by non-state armed groups in five countries (Central African Republic, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India and Myanmar) are the main factors behind a sharp global increase in the use of these weapons. During the meeting, States and other stakeholders expressed grave concern over these new uses.
Other challenges have also been highlighted, such as the slowed pace towards land clearance goals and scarce assistance for survivors and affected communities. Alarmingly, in 2021, the international support for victim assistance (VA) activities reached its lowest level recorded since 2016. 27 States Parties with significant numbers of landmines and ERW survivors did not receive any direct VA funding.
ICBL ambassadors and a team of landmine survivor advocates and experts from different continents traveled to Geneva to deliver statements and be involved in different activities. HI organized a discussion on the importance of involving affected communities in mine action interventions – taking the example of the department of Cauca, Colombia - in order to bring about transformative changes that ease tensions related to land tenure between farmers and indigenous people. Two community leaders from Cauca were present in Geneva to share their experience.
The Victim Assistance Experts Meeting was held in parallel with the plenary sessions and aimed to improve understanding on rehabilitation and the challenges and gaps faced in delivering quality rehabilitation services in an efficient, affordable and sustainable manner. HI participated in this VA Experts Meeting by moderating a panel on community-based rehabilitation and talking about how to integrate rehabilitation in the humanitarian response taking the example of our experience in Afghanistan. HI also presented how VA is a shared responsibility between various national stakeholders in affected countries, between relevant ministries (health, employment, poverty reduction, etc.) and humanitarian mine action operators.
Together with representatives from the European Union, Germany and Colombia, HI announced the launch of the Global Conference on Victim Assistance to be held in the second half of 2023 in Cambodia, in which HI will participate.
Finally, HI representatives from different affected countries were also present in Geneva to meet with States’ representatives to raise awareness of specific humanitarian contexts, the comprehensive approach to mine action (CAMA), a people-centered approach to humanitarian mine action, that includes conflict-sensitivity, an intersectional approach and victim assistance.
As a next step, the intersessional meeting of the Ottawa Treaty will take place in June 2023 under the German presidency.

In anticipation of their upcoming ninth studio album Dead End Kings (out Aug. 28th via Peaceville Records), Swedish melodic metal band Katatonia have released a tour promo video that uses a sample of a new song, “Lethean”, as the backdrop. The video showcases the band’s upcoming European tour dates, which sees support from Alcest and Junius (ticket information can be found here). The video can be seen below.
Katatonia will be co-headlining the Epic Kings & Idols Tour alongside Devin Townsend. Paradise Lost will be providing direct support. All information for this tour can be found here.
Personally speaking, I cannot WAIT for this album! I’ve been a fan of Katatonia for over 10 years and a new album from them is a reason for much celebration. Also, “Dead Letters” and this sample are convincing me that I might have a contender for Album of the Year. What are your thoughts?

Man Utd urged to make a transfer ‘statement’ in Jadon Sancho vs Harry Kane dilemma
Manchester United have been told to prioritise the signing of Tottenham striker Harry Kane over a potential deal to bring in Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho. Former Chelsea player Craig Burley believes United need to make “a statement” this summer with their transfer activity.
United are set for a busy transfer window.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to spend big in order to improve his squad for next season.
They have been linked with a host of names, including Kane, Sancho, Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Philippe Coutinho.
Reports suggest the Red Devils will be in a good position financially, and will be able to outspend the rest of their rivals whenever the window opens.
JUST IN: Man Utd will miss out on Kalidou Koulibaly to PSG for one major reason
However, a move for Kane would likely set them back close to £200million, with Tottenham demanding a world-record fee for their star striker.
Likewise, Sancho is set to cost upwards of £100m, meaning they could be forced into choosing between the two.
And Burley believes there should be no contest, and they should go out and spend the money on Kane, because he would be more of a statement signing than Sancho.
He explained on ESPN FC that he believes even though Kane would only be at the club for five years or so, while Sancho would be there for much longer, the England captain would be the better signing of the two.
Lucas Moura pleads with Tottenham chiefs to snub Man Utd bid for Harry Kane
Man Utd transfer target Erling Haaland is ‘so special’ for one reason claims former boss
Liverpool fans reassured ‘smart and clever’ Takumi Minamino will ‘get better as he goes’
- Man Utd duo Solskjaer and Woodward in agreement on striker target
“I would go for Harry Kane,” he said when asked to recommend a signing for United to make.
“I think United need to make some big statements.
“Are you going to have to pay some big bucks? Yes. Is there going to be a big sell-on at the end? Probably not.
“Although you’re going to get probably four or five years with one of the best natural strikers on the planet. That’s too big to turn down.
- Man Utd chief Woodward set to make £74m bid, Chelsea £150m spree
“If you want ten years, look at Jadon Sancho. But United already have young players.
“They’ve got Greenwood, they’ve got Rashford, they’ve got Martial.
“They’ve got the youngsters in and around the squad already.
“If they want to make a statement and you need someone to lead the line, you can’t get Robert Lewandowski, so you go for Harry Kane and make a statement.”

Are Trauma and Addiction Connected?
Millions of Americans suffer from addiction and substance dependence. Addiction continues to be heavily stigmatized and often criminalized despite current research showing that it is often influenced by numerous mental and psychological problems, including trauma. For this reason, addiction treatment has advanced significantly over the past 20 years to treat the underlying causes such as trauma, anxiety, depression and many other disorders.

A couple of years ago (2009) I purchased a replacement radiator cooling fan for my wife's '04 Saturn Ion. Go-Parts.com had the cheapest I could find anywhere and I was able to quickly locate it based on the original OEM part number. To have the work done by a shop would have cost me over $800 and taken a couple of days. I purchased the OEM replacement fan from Go-Parts.com for just under $100 and did the work in about an hour. The fan worked perfectly for about 2 years and then it started acting up. I went back to Go-Parts.com and found out the item had a limited lifetime warranty. I contacted customer service about the warranty and started the process without any hassle. I simply purchased a replacement from the website, sent the old broken one back to Go-Parts in the box that the new one came in with pre-paid shipping by Go-Parts and was refunded the purchase price of the replacement fan. In the end, 3 years later I still have a working cooling fan and I've only ever had to pay the original purchase and shipping. The prices are great and the customer service is excellent. I definitely look for parts on Go-Parts.com before looking anywhere else.
If you've been searching for Toyota Camry replacement cooling fans, you've come to the right place. With a massive selection of replacement parts for a variety of Camry model years, you can get the parts you need at an affordable price, allowing you to remedy the situation and get your car back on the road.

Original German WWII Luftwaffe Worn Normandy Camouflage Single Decal M35 Helmet – Stamped SE64
Hassle Free Returns
No questions asked, 30 days return policy.
All orders are shipped in 1-3 business days.
SSL Enabled Secure Checkout
Original Item: One-of-a-kind. This is what we all look for and can never find! An incredible 100% authentic Normandy Camouflage Model 1935 German Luftwaffe Double Decal Helmet! This example is an “overpaint” camouflage, which was added over the original paint and decals, and even has a lot of texture to it. The camouflage was then worn away over the years in service, which exposed much of the original paint, as well as the original single decal. At some point, two “Sig” symbol were added to the front, for the SS, but we suspect that these may have been added post war. This is a great helmet, with lots of history!

Chas was hardly alone in his disenchantment. He started wearing his jumpsuit after 300 students walked out of classes at Alvin High on January 28, 1999, to protest the district's rigid dress code. He and 119 other students were arrested and charged with disrupting classes. (Other students received probation and community service. Chas was the only one to request a jury trial, and the charges against him were later dropped.) Afterward, he joined a school committee to amend the dress code.
"But then Columbine went down," he says, and the principal scrapped the committee's recommendations. Alvin Independent School District went in the opposite direction, adopting a standardized dress code in March 2000.
Disgusted, Chas opted for homeschooling and has since earned his GED. But his siblings remain in district schools, and his mother has continued to fight its dress code. In January, two years after the mass protest, an administrative law judge denied a request by the parents -- Margaret and Charles Davis -- for an exemption. Backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Margaret Davis says she will appeal to a state district court.
The Alvin ISD code allows for only four styles of shirts in several solid colors and cotton pants, shorts and skirts in black, navy or khaki. Denim and logos are banned. Tattoos must be covered, and boys cannot wear earrings or have long hair. Families can file for waivers, based on philosophical or religious reasons.
Davis filed exemptions for her three children in the district, arguing that the policy violated her parenting philosophy and her family's belief in individual freedom. Davis, a card-carrying member of the ACLU, says she has followed the philosophy of "loving guidance" from La Leche League during her 17 years as a parent, which means setting guidelines but letting children make their own decisions.
"This is the simplest form of personal choice," Davis says. "If we don't stand up for the simplest form of individual freedom, then they'll take more and more away from us .It's as if they're trying to mold little robots."
After her requests were denied at the campus and district levels, she appealed to the school board, which rejected her request in September. Davis took her appeal to the Texas Education Agency, which set a hearing before an administrative judge.
Under state statute, if a school district requires uniforms, it must provide exemptions for students who have bona fide religious or philosophical objections. Districts that have dress codes -- rather than requiring uniforms -- are not legally required to provide an opt-out provision.
Jay Jacobson, former head of the Texas ACLU, says the organization has no position on the issue of school uniforms. But the ACLU believes that the school district is refusing to honor its own policy of allowing philosophical exemptions to its dress code. He believes Davis met all the district's requirements in her effort to gain a waiver.
"They [school district authorities] characterize the Davis's [sic] objections as based on the merit of the dress code, that is, its utility, rather than any philosophical objection," Jacobson wrote in a brief. He also noted that AISD board president Bill Wofford has stated that he doesn't even know what a legitimate philosophical objection to the dress code would be.
The district argued that its policy of standardized dress did not constitute a requirement to wear uniforms.
In January, Judge Christopher Maska sided with the district. He ruled that since the dress code does not technically require uniforms, the TEA has no jurisdiction to determine if the school district violated its own policy. Jacobson argued in written briefs that AISD's dress code was actually a mandate to wear uniforms.
"Their position is that when it allows for variation of color of shirts and pants, when there is a variance, it is not a uniform," Jacobson says. "I think that's splitting hairs, frankly."
Nine other families have requested exemptions on philosophical grounds; all were denied. A dozen families have requested exemptions for religious reasons, or for handicapped children who cannot button or zip clothes. Those were approved.
Clark Roberts, executive director for administrative services at AISD, says Davis only voiced a personal choice and that philosophical differences must be rooted in culture.
"An example might be a sarong that has been worn by the student that had a cultural background in this mode of dress and moved into the district," he says. "Some religious sects also adopt that mode of dress, but I'm talking from a cultural standpoint."
The Davis children have complied with the standardized dress but still have racked up infractions. Allen got in trouble in high school for wearing pants with a side-pocket tag that was orange -- a banned color under the code. Katie, who is in the sixth grade, got cold and violated a ban on wearing jackets in the classroom. She was pulled out of class for wearing jeans-style pants and for shoes that were half an inch too tall. Katie also came dressed in a shirt with a painted message: "Worn by force, not by choice."

(NEE) The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in three major blows to the Kremlin’s international strategy, thus making it adjust to much less favourable circumstances than when Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea and disrupted relations with the West.
First, the crisis has shown the dysfunctional inefficiency of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). The most illustrative example is the current escalation of Moscow’s tensions with Minsk, exacerbated by the two governments’ dissimilar policies towards the coronavirus which was projected onto the symbolic competition over the Victory Day parade on May 9th, which was cancelled by Putin but held by Lukashenka in spite of the risks. Mainstream television channels in Russia and Belarus “have engaged in a war of words, accusing each other of failing to deal with the pandemic and spreading disinformation”. According to information leaked to the media, the Kremlin is allegedly looking for contacts in Belarus who might run the country after Lukashenka. Against this background, some experts deem that the Belarus officialdom seems to be more interested in developing economic projects with Chinese partners than within the EEU. […]

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police report that while patrolling the Ocean Shores Beach, Officer Becker spotted a truck doing donuts on the beach over razor clams beds as well as in the surf.
They say that six people were in the vehicle, two adults and four children.
When Officer Becker asked for an ID, he says the driver gave him a driver’s license that had the name “SKIPPY”.
After checking the woman’s license to make sure she would be able to legally drive the vehicle off the beach it was found she was a protected person in a domestic violence no–contact order.
Officer Becker reports that he did not feel comfortable letting either of the adults go until he could confirm the man’s identity, and after calling for additional units he was able to make a positive match between the man and the person involved in the no-contact order against the woman by using physicals, tattoos and Department of Licensing photographs.
It was found that “SKIPPY” had multiple felony warrants in two states and 14 pending felony charges in Washington, including assault 2nd, Forgery, money laundering, theft 1st, trafficking in stolen property and bail jumping, as well as having high violent tendencies.
“SKIPPY” was booked into the Grays Harbor County jail on the felony warrants and the violation of the domestic violence no-contact order.


2019 Toyota Tundra Diesel Redesign – Heres our first look at Toyotas major refresh coming for its Tundra pickup truck. This prototype was caught out and not quite in Ann Arbor, Michigan, rolling beside the street past a further Ford F-150 that followed the Tundra into Toyotas facility. It shouldnt be any admiration that Toyota is benchmarking the segment-leading truck, and unmodified the unusual camouflage hanging beneath this Tundra, we suspect theres more going on here than a facelift and belly tuck.
Take a near see at the rear axle. Thats actually a trick question, because engineers have it obscured considering low-hanging fabric correspondingly we can’t truly see it. Furthermore, when our spy photographers got close for some pictures, the F-150 pulled happening right at the back to block access. Clearly, Toyota has something to conceal put up to there. We dont think its everything as forward looking as independent delay a couple of the photos make public mounting points for astonishment absorbers that look typical for a hermetic rear axle. Toyota could have some air-ride components in there, however.
2019 Toyota Tundra Diesel Redesign
The ongoing Tundra has been released back in 2006 and throughout its lifetime it only received mild changes. Even though it still is a great truck, it can’t really compete in terms of available technology and features. In order to change all of that it seems an update might be on its way. Even though at this point it hasn’t been confirmed, the update is more than likely going to be released with the upcoming 2019 Toyota Tundra. There are plenty of available rumors about it and while it still is far from release, some of them seem to be on point.
2019 Toyota Tundra Diesel Redesign.
Some suggested this will be an all new model but it might not be the case. While we do hope for major improvements, Toyota showcased how keen they are to keep the trucks tied to their predecessor. This has also been the case with the Tacoma and it may just be with the Tundra as well. At this point most suggest the truck will receive a fully boxed in high strength steel frame. This should allow Toyota to drop up to around 50 pounds from the one before it.

Islamic Banking Service Quality and Withdrawal Risk: The Indonesian Experience
International Journal of Excellence in Islamic Banking and Finance, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 1-15, 2011
15 Pages Posted: 28 Feb 2012
Date Written: February 28, 2012
This paper aims first to evaluate the service quality of Islamic banking and second to explore the withdrawal behavior of Islamic banking depositors based on their evaluation towards its service quality in the context of Indonesia. A total of 276 Islamic banking customers in Jakarta, Indonesia, were involved through a direct survey. Factor analysis was carried out to uncover the key dimensions of Indonesian Islamic banking service quality. Next, we use central tendency measurement to extract the information of depositors’ withdrawal behavior towards those dimensions. Afterwards, the importance and performance analysis (IPA) was employed to evaluate the level of Indonesian Islamic banking service quality. The exploratory factor analysis uncovered five key dimensions of Indonesian Islamic banking service quality, including reliability, bank-customer relationship, tangibles, Shari`ah issues, and rates and charges. Shari`ah and tangible are the first and second most influence factors for depositors to withdraw their funds from Islamic bank. However, despite their high level of importance, Shari`ah and tangible were always perceived poor in performance while others were largely modest. Within this kind of situation, withdrawal risk is, therefore, should be the most potential risk to be anticipated.

Give Louis Oosthuizen this: The man knows how to begin the year in style.
For the fourth consecutive year the South African began the calendar year with a victory on home soil.
In 2011 and ’12 it was the Africa Open. On Sunday, he birdied the last two holes to leapfrog Branden Grace and defend his title at the Volvo Golf Champions. He shot rounds of 68-69-71-68 at Durban Country Club to finish at 12-under 276.
Oosthuizen has now won on the European Tour in five consecutive seasons, the longest streak among active players. It was his seventh career Euro Tour title.
Not a bad performance for a player who supposedly was still dealing with a back injury. Earlier this week the 2010 Open champion said that he would be unable to set his schedule beyond the Masters in April because he wanted to see how his back handled the increased workload.
One of the sweetest swingers in the world was plagued by the injury for the better half of the 2013 season, as he withdrew from both summer opens, didn’t tee it up at the PGA but returned a few months later to compete for the International side at the Presidents Cup. He competed in all four Final Series events, but failed to finish better than 15th.
“I had some injections in my lower back last October that seem to have helped,” he said earlier this week. “The good thing is I am playing pain-free and I am doing a lot of things to get it better. But the pain is definitely still there and it’s not going to go away, and it’s going to take a lot of time. … It’s just one of those things I have to deal with.”

Yesterday, in the middle of a beautiful, sunny afternoon, a storm front came out of nowhere and cut across southern Pittsburgh. I was in my backyard at the time, and I could tell by the sudden icy wind that something unusual was happening. A few moments later I heard a sharp thwack! as something struck my deck and bounced into the yard – a nickel-sized hailstone. Then, another one. Thwack!
Then the hail fell like rain – thwack! thwack! thwack! – faster and faster, until the air was filled with icy missiles, some bigger than quarters, streaking to the earth around me. As the deluge intensified, I was deafened by the sound of a million berserk carpenters hammering away at my home, my deck, and my garden.
In a few short minutes it was over. The ground was littered with ice, leaves, and small branches. My home’s window screens had holes punched through them. My garden was torn to shreds.
If you haven’t experienced the combined effects of hailstones and high winds, count yourself lucky.
If you wonder what the storm and its aftermath looked like, I put a set of hailstorm photos on flickr. My neighbor and fellow programmer Casey West had his new iPhone handy and snapped some great photos, too.
I also captured the storm on my front-yard webcam, which looked into the oncoming hail. For reference, here is what the webcam saw just before the storm:
If you look in the upper-right corner of that photo, you can see the first few hailstones streaking into the frame.
Then, the storm hit in force:
The wind was so strong that it drove the hail horizontally at times.
When the storm ended, just 3 and a half minutes later, the ground was littered with ice. In the photo below, that’s not snow in the driveway:
In the garden, it was easier to see just how much ice the storm had dropped upon us:
The garden, itself, was shredded:

Marine Corps Air Station BeaufortUpdated: October 5, 2023
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in South Carolina supports the operations of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, II MEF units, and the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island/Eastern Recruiting Region. Known as “Fightertown East,” it accommodates four F/A-18 Hornet fighter-attack squadrons, one F-35B Lightning II training squadron, and nearly 4,700 personnel.
Beaufort, SC 29904
What Kind of Base is Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort?
MCAS Beaufort, nestled in the South Carolina Lowcountry, sprawls across 6,900 acres and includes a 5,200-acre air-to-ground combat and bombing range in McIntosh County, Georgia. The air station is also associated with a vast air-to-air combat area off the South Carolina and Georgia coasts.
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort History
Originally commissioned as Naval Air Station Beaufort, it was pivotal for anti-submarine patrol training during World War II. In 1960, the designation changed to MCAS Beaufort, and subsequently, in 1975, the airfield was named Merritt Field to honor Major General Lewie G. Merritt. The base has evolved over the years. It now supports all active-duty USMC F/A-18 air operations on the East Coast, Marine Aircraft Group 31, its associated squadrons, and tenant U.S. Navy strike fighter squadrons.
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Housing
MCAS Beaufort offers a variety of housing options. The Military Housing Office manages the installation housing. Several residents and service members are accommodated in the Laurel Bay housing complex.
Off-station housing is also available in the Beaufort area.
How to Apply For Housing
To apply for housing at the military base, the first step is to contact the Military Housing Office at 843-228-6000. They will provide detailed information about the application process, including the necessary forms and documents. It’s important to have your medical records, official orders, school records, personnel file, training records, birth certificates, Social Security cards, vehicle titles, insurance papers, passports and prescriptions on hand.
PCS and TDY Lodging
At the military base, temporary lodging options are available for both Temporary Duty (TDY) and Permanent Change of Station (PCS) personnel. The Inns of the Corps at MCAS Beaufort offer these services. Reservations can be made by calling 843-522-1663.
What is the BAH for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort?
The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort varies depending on rank, years of service and dependency status. Visit the South Carolina state BAH page or see the chart below for more information.
BEAUFORT/PARRIS ISLAND, SC BAH Rates
Military Housing Area: SC258
|Grade||With Dependents||Without Dependents|
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Surrounding Area
The Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort is strategically located in the heart of South Carolina’s Lowcountry, in Beaufort County. It’s about an hour drive from Charleston, and about an hour from Savannah, Georgia.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the region’s unique Lowcountry landscape, characterized by expansive marshlands, coastal waters and rural settings. It’s worth noting that Beaufort is susceptible to high tides, flooding and hurricanes.
On-post medical services are available at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Beaufort. Naval Hospital Beaufort offers medical and surgical care to active and retired military and their dependents in the Beaufort area, with additional Branch Health Clinics at MCRD Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort. Specialized cases beyond the hospital’s scope are referred to other military hospitals or TRICARE-covered facilities.
MCAS Beaufort offers two Child Development Centers (CDCs). They offer full-day, part-day and hourly care for children. They offer services to infants, toddlers, preschoolers and school-aged children.
MCAS Beaufort offers two DoDEA schools on the installment. They are:
- Elliott Elementary School (preK-2)
- Bolden Elementary/Middle School (3-8)
There are no DoDEA high schools. So from 9th grade and on, children would attend a Beaufort County high school based on where they live.
It’s advisable to contact the School Liaison at 843-228-6128 to learn more about specific education options.


For the Indonesian market however, Maruti ships only the petrol variants of the car via the CKD route. So what should be the next logical step for the Suzuki in Indonesia?
An automatic transmission of course! While in India, we're just finding our feet with the automatic tranny's (pun intended!), the international markets embrace the clutch-free cars, even if they are sold in the petrol variants.
In a recent interview with Tribunn News, Davy Tuilan, Dealer Network Development Director Suzuki Indomobil Sales said that the Ritz (sold as Splash in other markets) would get an automatic transmission around the second quarter of this year.
The automatic Ritz would be launched along with the facelift (which the Indian Ritz received just months ago). The automatic version of the Ertiga would also be launched sometime later this year, said Tuilan.
In India, Maruti sells the A-Star, Ritz and the Swift Dzire automatic (excluding the Kizashi and the Grand Vitara). Those three cars have the similar K Series engine setup, albeit in different forms.
The Ertiga also uses a 1.4-liter K Series engine (the most powerful K Series engine to be sold in India). Hence, it is not going to be an uphill task to set up an automatic transmission for the MPV. While history suggests it could be a 4-speed unit, the exact details are not yet confirmed.
This begs the question: Will Maruti be offering the Ertiga AT in India as well considering that the vehicle for Indonesia will be shipped from its plant?

The single biggest expense senior citizens face is long-term care.
Nelson Mandela passed away on Thursday, December 5, 2013 at age 95. Mandela carved out a legacy quite unlike anyone else in the 20th and early 21 Centuries, first as the face and voice of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, then as its elected President when apartheid was abolished and in his later years, as the recognized heart and soul of his nation. Georgia Public Policy Foundation VP Benita Dodd was born and raised in South Africa during apartheid. She offers these thoughts on his remarkable life and legacy.
One by one they came to the podium; the convicted murderer who served 25 years in state prison; now he counsels juveniles before they go to prison. The long-term addict who turned to drugs after relatives sexually abused her when she was less than ten years old; now she counsels women in prison. The former elected official who took money under the table and when his scheme unraveled, he went away to the federal Big House; now he counsels offenders and families. One by one, they came to the podium with nearly the same message: If you want to rehabilitate someone, start early. By Mike Klein

I apologize if this isn’t quite “news”, but I’d like your opinions. I’m need to get out of Boston for a weekend trip to New York and would love to visit two or three classic theaters there. I’m not going to go this weekend (I’m probably going to be there March 3rd – 5th), so I’ll have time to figure out what I’m going to see and do.
What theaters would you recommend I check out? I might not actually see a movie at each of them, but I’d like to take some pictures look around.
I’d only ask that the theaters are currently open (showing films) and that it is relatively close or walkable from public transportation.

Hello, Channel 5 on UK television has a weekly movie program called ‘movielounge’ which airs Wednesday nights at 7-15.
The show is running a feature called ‘The Best Little Cinema in Britain’ where viewers can nominate their favorite websites. To enter a submission, go to the movielounge website.
We want to find ‘The Best little Cinema In Britain’ and we need your help! It doesn’t have to be a stunningly beautiful Grade One listed building – maybe you just love it because it’s NOT just another Multiplex, maybe it’s a bit old and tatty and strange but you saw your first film there or copped your first feel there – it doesn’t matter we want to hear from you. Let us know your thoughts and we’ll come armed with a camera crew to let you show off your favourite cinema to the nation.
This week Giles kicked off proceeding with his own nomination, The Everyman cinema in Hampstead North London. Open since 1933, this luxurious little cinema prides itself on its unusual seating arrangement, its love of quality cinema, good food and wine.
Allen Windsor, author of “Cruising the Deuce … in Movie Houses on 42nd Street, Times Square, and Greenwich Village in the 1940s to 1980s” (available from http://chelcpress.com), recently gave a reading at the 13th Street Gay Center on 14 Feb 2006 that was televised and will be shown on Channel 34 some time in February.
He describes each grind house on 42nd but also details what went on in upper balconies and toilet areas elsewhere around the city. With him was Willy, the porter in the old Variety Photoplays on 3rd Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets.
The book is filled with many tales of that era, and John Waters asked for and received permission to use the book as a prop in a movie he’s making. Foreword is by a former president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that this year’s set for the Oscars will be a “no-holds-barred return to classic Hollywood glamour, paying homage to old movie theaters.”
“When designing the Oscars, I try to make the current show as different from the year before as possible,” said Christopher. “Last year’s show was distinguished by a hi-tech, ‘cutting-edge’ style. So this year, there’s nothing hi-tech — it’s a no-holds-barred return to classic Hollywood glamour, paying homage to old movie theaters.”
“I wanted to celebrate the movies and to include great movie houses and screens,” said Cates. “So Roy went back to the classic ornate movie houses for his inspiration, which, I think, is superbly reflected in the final design.”
“I have always loved the movie theaters of the ‘30s, '40s and '50s,” Christopher said. “The man who designed many of them was S. Charles Lee, who was remarkably imaginative and architecturally daring, making movie theaters in styles ranging from the ornate Hollywood baroque to the sleek art-moderne. His spaces were exciting places that upon entering made you feel that something extraordinary was going to happen.”
I have an original 1920s art deco movie theatre ticket booth for sale.
It is in remarkable condition!! It has lots of black and white art deco design, and great detailed carved wood. It also features a stained glass window in the back of the booth and a curved glass front. The piece weighs at least 200 hundred pounds and is about 7' tall.
I do not know the history of this piece but it is obviously mid-late 1920s-early 1930s judging by the design. The stained glass pyramid design is consistent with the “Oriental-Egyptian” theatre themes of the period. It must be seen to be appreciated — which can be done by requesting email photos from me.
The booth is most likely unique-doubtful that another one like it exists especially in such great shape. I have it stored in NW New Jersey, about 40 miles west of New York City, and 40 miles east of Pennsylvania, near Interstate Rt 78. Please email me for photos. I’m looking for about $3500 for this most beautiful-and functional-piece of history!
My contact info is or 908-604-4806… I will be happy to send email photos or make arrangements to look at this piece.

Mars dust provides an insight into climate history
Over the course of the mission, the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer is intended to make a significant contribution towards preparing for human exploration of Mars. In this context, data will be provided regarding daily weather reports, information on radiation and wind patterns, and insights into the dusty surface which dominates the planet. Incidentally, this surface is the reason why Mars is also called the “Red Planet”: The reddish coloring is caused by the iron oxide dust – rust, so to speak - that covers the surface. The dust on Mars reveals a great deal about the history of the planet and provides an insight into the climate history there.
Project Manager Stefan Bruns explained the special challenges which are associated with the project: “The so-called 'angular shift', i.e. the distortion of the measurement through obliquely incident near-infrared light to be detected, must be as minimal as possible, whilst the filter must simultaneously withstand the extreme gamma, proton and ionizing radiation present locally. In addition, a fundamental aspect is temperature stability: Even at very low temperatures of down to -120 degrees Celsius, the transmitted wavelength range of 950 nm, known as the passband, must not shift significantly.” Over a period of almost four years prior to the mission, the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (National Institute of Aerospace Technology), or INTA for short, carried out extensive and sometimes harsh tests in a vacuum, focusing thereby on pressure and temperature conditions. For example, the filter was subjected to 3,000 rapid temperature changes between -135° und 45 °C. “After all, the system should not fail after just a few ‘Mars days',” explained Bruns.
Stable performance under extraordinary environmental conditions
MEDA’s sensors are integrated into the Rover at various positions, including the “neck” of the instrument, the front panel and the interior. Sensors for radiation exposure and dust are located on the top of the Rover. Deployed there: The filter from the Fraunhofer IST. “The task of the filter is to let through light solely in the 'near' infrared range. The aim is to hereby identify the dust in the Mars atmosphere,” explained Stefan Bruns. The filter was requested by the Spanish space organization INTA. The IST scientists manufactured the so-called bandpass filter on the EOSS® coating system by means of magnetron sputtering. In order to ensure that the extremely thin individual layers of the filter are deposited with high precision and homogeneity, the optical monitoring system MOCCA+®, also developed at the IST, is used. Bandpass filters are, of course, not only for interstellar use. Michael Vergöhl, Head of the department, said: “Bandpass filters are regularly used for applications on Earth. The special feature of these filters is that they remain very stable, even under extraordinary environmental influences.” Depending on the framework conditions, the filters are specially developed for each specific application.

Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.  When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.  When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me.”  For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many a time it had seized him. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.)  Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him.  And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.  Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission.  Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.  When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.  Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.  And those who had seen it told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.  Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned.  The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,  “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city how much Jesus had done for him.
 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. [Eph 6:12]
 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.  No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.  By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.  For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.  We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. [1Jn 3:8-12]
 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. [1Jn 4:4]
- Jesus was not scared of evil, and if you belong to Him, you don’t have to be scared of it either.
- Marks of demonic evil are: immoral and shameless nudity, an infatuation with darkness, death, violence, and murder, the need for outside restraint, unique strength used to put others in danger, inordinate antisocial human behavior, out of control actionsand words, and extreme animal like behavior (insanity/maniacal).
- Jesus has full authority over evil, evil people, and evil spirits. He can even turn a maniac into a missionary through His healingpower.
- People will either love Jesus and want to be close to Him, or they will love sin and want Him to get away from them. Allmiddle ground and neutrality is merely external and temporary.
- How will you joyfully tell others what Jesus has done for you this week?
 And when he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men met him, coming out of the tombs, so fierce that no one could pass that way… [Matt 8:28-34:9:1]
… And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit.  He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain,  for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him.  Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones… …the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea…  …”Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”  And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.  And when Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered about him, and he was beside the sea. [Mark 5:1-21]

Modern fishing practices pose the greatest threat to the survival of sharks. Because sharks produce few young each year and are slow to reach reproductive maturity, they can't withstand the growing pressure of the global fishing fleet.
It's estimated that 100 million sharks, skates and rays are caught and killed each yearand that half of these are accidental victims of fishing gear that targets other species of commercial fish. New scientific studies estimate that some populations of large sharks and other top ocean predators have fallen by as much as 90 percent due to accelerated fishing activities in recent decades.
Your consumer choices are the key to a future where healthy oceans are rich with sharks and other wildlife.
Avoid all shark productsfrom shark-fin soup to shark-cartilage pills, and all souvenirs like jaws and teeth that came from living sharks.
Support conservation groups that are working to protect sharks and the sea. With their power and influenceand your supportconservation groups can do much more than any of us alone.
Support marine reserves. Many species of sharks and rays return to the same place to breed where they were bornso setting aside these areas is crucial to maintaining their populations. For more information, read the Pew Oceans Report on Marine Reserves.
People around the world are working to protect these magnificent animals. You can help by promoting shark conservation.
Reducing Bycatch Each year, millions of sharks are accidentally killed in fisheries that target other animals, like shrimp and tuna. DSL/T1 (1.4MB)
Catching Fewer Sharks Many shark species are overfished, since fishermen in most regions can catch as many sharks as they want. DSL/T1 (1.4MB)
Banning Shark Finning Most sharks are killed solely for their fins, while the rest of the shark is thrown overboard as waste. DSL/T1 (1.4MB)
Seafood Watch: Our Seafood Watch program helps you choose seafood from sustainable fisheries that protect sharks and other ocean wildlife.
Tagging of Pacific Pelagics: We're collaborating with dozens of scientists on a project to study how sharks and other open ocean animals use the North Pacific Ocean to travel, feed and reproduce.
White Shark Research: We’re engaged in a multi-year project to study young white sharks off Southern California. One of our goals is to better understand the life history of these threatened ocean predators.
The mission of the nonprofit Monterey Bay Aquarium is to inspire conservation of the oceans.

Very sorry to hear this but, unfortunately anytime you put a dog under you run the risk of loosing them or their pups. And as stated earlier, if you signed and agreement with you vet clearing them of any damages then you simply don't have a case. That's why most all vets have you sign something because it is so easy to loose a dog when put under.
My deepest sympathy for you and for the situation,
Not much else to say that has not already been stated. Breeding EBD are one of the hardest breeds to work with due to so many limitations to breed and c-sections. I am ALSO very lucky to have 3 EXCELLENT vets that have done c-sections for many years. I have narrowed down to 2 Vet specialists rather than all 3. The 3rd one is a single vet practice and does not work night or weekends. The other 2 vet clinics have multiple vets, on call, and are available for nights, weekends, holidays and emergencies.
I have not had any loss in deliveries so I do not have any more to offer.
But for ANYONE else reading these posts…make sure you ASK your vet if they specialize, not just see Bulldogs. Many vets will SEE bulldogs as patients, but unless they SPECIALIZE in working with them, AND have experience with C-Sections….move on.

Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), a China-based lithium-ion batteries manufacturer, has installed battery energy storage system (BESS) multi-mixed energy power station as part of the Luneng Haixi Multi-mixed Energy Demonstration Project.
CATL claims that this is the first of its kind in the country, where 400MW of wind, 200MW of solar and 50MW of concentrated solar power and 100MW of energy storage system have been unified into one system on the grid.
This power station will coordinate three different renewables, with fluctuating and unstable, sources of energy and is required to respond consistently to fluctuating demand.
CATL is the exclusive battery supplier for the project and had to overcome the requirements during the product design and development stage. The company claims that it took only 17 days to test and commission the BESS to the grid.
CATL vice chairman and chief strategy officer Huang Shilin said: “The Station is the first of its kind – a multi-functional, centralized power plant integrated with an electrochemical energy storage system. Its technical reliability and affordability will promote further global deployment of different renewable energy applications.”
The company stated that the first priority while the development of an energy storage station is safety. By selecting reliable materials, the company claims to minimize the possibility of failure incidents and second damage explosion.
It also claims to be following the Potential Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) design process to identify risks and execute risk mitigation plans during the early stages of product development, manufacturing and management for safe operation of the battery system.
The station has been installed at Golmud, where temperature varies from -33.6 to 35.5 degrees Celsius. To ensure battery performance, CATL has installed a cooling system that uses air passages and air flow designs to maintain a consistent cabinet temperature.
CATL said: “In addition, the Project has tough structural requirements, as Golmud lies in an active seismic zone, which calls for vibration and shock absorption.
“CATL’s state of the art Test & Validation Center carried out rigorous testing and simulation to prove its batteries are able to withstand a potential earthquake of magnitude 8.”


At what point do criminal background check policies become too excessive and invasive? And at what point do they need to be more invasive? At the University of Akron, the Ohio college decided to reduce its criminal background check policy. According to the linked article, the school’s old background check policy consisted of asking employees – not job candidates – for fingerprints and DNA samples. In the revised policy, the DNA samples are done away with, while fingerprinting has been reduced. While the article above doesn’t specify who will be getting fingerprinted from now on, anyone who interacts with students, such as professors and resident hall employees, will, by a logical guess, be fingerprinted.
As we’ve seen in previous posts regarding background checks for positions like childcare and working with the public, more invasive background checks should be needed, as a standard background check may not pick up everything up for criminal history. But when considering university employees, how many of them actually interact with students? In general, the professors do, as well as any staff in a resident hall, including resident advisors, security staff, and dining hall employees. Administrative and clerical employees, who make a significant portion of those employed at a university, interact rarely with students, with the exception of billing scheduling offices. Should administrative staff be put on the same level, in terms of background check requirements, as professors and residential staff?
Logically, no. While all employees should be given some form of a background check, those interacting with students directly should be checked thoroughly. This, of course, means a criminal background check involving fingerprint samples. While this background check ordeal is drawing attention to the University of Akron for being lax in checking employees, perhaps it’s needed, not only for curbing spending costs on background checks but for being excessively invasive, as well.

Increased physical activity could reduce the risk of developing age-related cataracts by up to 10%.
Results of recent meta-analysis suggest increased levels of physical activity and exercise could help prevent the incidence of age-related cataracts.
Using data from half a dozen studies, a team of investigators found increased physical activity was associated with a 10% decrease in risk of developing age-related cataracts later in life.
“We know that exercise increases antioxidant enzyme activity which has all sorts of benefits, including limiting infections and inflammation in the eye,” said lead investigator Ming Li, PhD, a senior research fellow in the Cancer Epidemiology and Population Health Research Group at the University of South Australia, in a statement. “Age-related cataracts are one of the most common causes of vision impairment and blindness in the world and although surgery is an effective option to recover vision, it is very costly.”
To further evaluate and summarize the impact of physical activity on the prevalence of age-related cataracts, Li and an international team of investigators from Xi'an Jiaotong University and the University of South Australia designed the current study as a meta-analysis of data from the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Examining the databases from inception through July 2019, investigators identified 6 studies including more than 170,000 participants for inclusion in their analysis.
To be included, studies needed to be original articles, prospective cohort studies, have physical activity as the exposure of interest, and have a primary outcome of incidence of age-related cataracts. Studies were also required to report relative risks (RRs), odds ratios, or hazards ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) or report sufficient data to calculate them for each outcome. Of note, outcomes could include total cataract, subtype cataracts, or cataract extraction.
From the 6 studies and 171,620 participants, a total of 19,173 cases of age-related cataracts were identified. In regard to characteristics, 4 studies were performed in the US while 2 were performed in Europe. Of the 6, 4 included population-based cohort and 2 examined groups of volunteers. All studies adjusted for age, but not all adjusted for gender, education, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
Upon analysis, investigators found increased physical activity was significantly associated with a reduced risk of developing age-related cataracts. Results of a stratified analysis suggested studies using metabolic equivalent (MET) per day were more likely to report a greater reduction in age-related cataracts (RR, 0.85; 95%CI: 0.81, 0.90, P <.001) than studies assessing activity on a weekly basis (RR, 0.96; 95%CI, 0.89-1.03; P=.24). Additionally, a dose-response analysis found risk of age-related cataracts decreased by 2% for each 6 METs increase in activity per day (RR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99; P <.001).
With age-related cataracts one of the most common causes of blindness, Li noted her hope the results of the current analysis might help provide a greater reason for further engagement in exercise and other forms of physical activity.
“Considering the fact that 24 percent of adults are inactive, these findings will hopefully encourage older people to start exercising on a regular basis,” Li added, in the aforementioned statement.
This study, “Physical activity and risk of age-related cataract,” was published in the International Journal of Ophthalmology.
