Sir David Attenborough is said to be working on his new nature show A Perfect Planet from home, while enduring the coronavirus lockdown.
The 94-year-old’s latest BBC project is expected to drop this autumn, and it appears he’s pulling out all the stops to make this happen.
When chatting with The Mirror, BBC natural history commissioning editor Jack Bootle reassured fans that there will hopefully be no delay to the series, as the wildlife expert will be rounding off the show from his home in Richmond-upon-Thames.
‘I am confident that it will hit the screens,’ Bootle told the publication.
‘There are small amounts of filming that remains to be done with Sir David, and of course, he also needs to record the voiceover. And there are some challenges involved with doing that during a time of lockdown.’
Visit our live blog for the latest updates: Coronavirus news live
He added: ‘Assuming no disasters happen, that series will air as planned in the autumn, which we’re all very excited about.’
Sir David announced his involvement with the project back in February, before the Covid-19 crisis was declared a global pandemic.
‘Oceans, sunlight, weather and volcanoes – together these powerful yet fragile forces allow life to flourish in astonishing diversity,’ the revered broadcaster said at the time.
‘They make Earth truly unique – a perfect planet. Our planet is one in a billion, a world teeming with life. But now, a new dominant force is changing the face of Earth: humans.’
He continued: ‘To preserve our perfect planet we must ensure we become a force for good.’
And while working hard on the new show, he’s also been playing his part in lockdown by teaching children geography lessons during the school closures.
Sir David said of his BBC Bitesize side-hustle: ‘I am delighted to be teaching primary school children across the country about the things I am passionate about.
‘I hope children will learn something new about animals, oceans and dinosaurs, and feel inspired by my BBC Bitesize lessons.’
It’s fair to say both pupils and parents alike welcomed their new teacher with open arms.
A Perfect Planet is expected to drop onto BBC One this autumn while Metro.co.uk has reached out to the BBC for further comment.

Drawing on 196 years of production, students worked with Pringles knitwear technicians to produce twelve designs referencing the companys history. Viktor Smedinge, Yeori Bae, William Hendry, Estefania Cortes Harker and Timur Kim created 12 different designs for The Archive Project. The result encompasses Baes colour-block twinset, Smedinges graphic scribble jumper and Kims abstract riff on the classic argyle-patterned sweater.
It has been a great experience for the MA Fashion students to work with Pringles heritage and expertise in this collaborative project, Professor Louise Wilson said in a statement.
The project, first introduced to the press in February at LFW
, included a research strand alongside the collection design. Students from the history and theory pathway of CSMs BA Fashion Course researched and catalogued Pringles existing archive, and organised a day of record at which members of the public brought vintage Pringle pieces to be evaluated and accessed to the archive.

The IPsec series of protocols makes use of various cryptographic algorithms in order to provide security services. The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol is used to negotiate the IPsec Security Association (IPsec SA) parameters, such as which algorithms should be used. To ensure interoperability between different implementations, it is necessary to specify a set of algorithm implementation requirements and usage guidance to ensure that there is at least one algorithm that all implementations support. This document updates RFC 7296 and obsoletes RFC 4307 in defining the current algorithm implementation requirements and usage guidance for IKEv2, and does minor cleaning up of the IKEv2 IANA registry.

When bad experiences trigger anxiety
Up to 80% of children are exposed to trauma by the age of 18 in the UK. After experiencing trauma, it’s not unusual for children to develop emotional and behavioural symptoms. This is a normal psychological response and not a psychiatric disorder. However, by age 18, around one in four children exposed to trauma will have developed Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Professor Andrea Danese leads the Stress & Development Lab at the IoPPN, where his team aims to understand how traumatic experiences in childhood affect mental and physical health, how to identify those children at greatest risk of developing PTSD, and how to support children who have experienced trauma.
Professor Danese also co-leads the National & Specialist CAMHS Clinic for Trauma, Anxiety, and Depression at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, where his team delivers assessment and treatment to children and adolescents who experience severe and/or treatment-resistant PTSD, anxiety disorders and depression.
In his Mental Health Awareness Week blog, Professor Andrea Danese unpacks how childhood trauma can lead to anxiety – and in some of the more serious cases, PTSD.

The second tryout process is defined and regulated under the AA Hockey Model document (see Hockey Alberta www.hockeyalberta.ca Players tab-AA Hockey).
The second tryout process will be facilitated through each AA Hockey League, so it will be key that there is constant communication between the Leagues and their member associations.
Players that are released from their Resident AA Recruitment Area tryouts, and are seeking the second tryout will notify the League that they are interested in the second tryout. The Notice to Try Out form (see www.hockeyalberta.ca Members Tab-Forms-Elite/AA-AA Notice of Tryout) must be completed under the Second Tryout Information Heading area. This requires a signature from the players Resident Minor Hockey Association President, as well as a signature of the Resident AA Association President.
This form should be emailed to the League c/o:
Greg Davenport at firstname.lastname@example.org
The League, in conjunction with the In Need Associations, will then determine which In Need Recruitment Area has been approved for the Second Tryout. It is important to note that at this time the In Need Association has the option to accept the request of Second Tryout or not. If accepted, the player will be contacted by the In Need Association and arrangements made to join their tryout camps. If not accepted, the League may refer the player to another Association if one is available for the second tryout. In no cases will players be eligible for more than two AA tryouts. If released from the second tryout, or if no second tryout is available, the player reverts back to his Home Minor Hockey Association for the 2020-21 season.
Steps to Take:
SCAHL Associations Declared In Need (eligible to accept 2nd tryout applications):
U13: Olds (Goalies Only); Golden Suns (Goalies Only); West Central (Sylvan) (Goalies Only).
U15: Central Alberta (Lacombe) (Goalies Only); West Central (Sylvan) (Forwards & Defense Only).
U16 - second tryouts are not allowed.
U18: Golden Suns (Taber); Olds; Lethbridge (Defense Only); West Central, Central Alberta (Lacombe).

Proteostasis Dismisses 13 Researchers, Shifts R&D Focus to Potential Cystic Fibrosis Therapies
Proteostasis Therapeutics is eliminating 13 research positions in order to save $3 million as it “readjusts priorities to focus resources on researching and developing” its cystic fibrosis (CF) programs, including clinical trials for PTI-428, PTI-801 and PTI-808 small molecules.
The R&D shift also includes its discovery-stage program in unfolded protein response (UPR), conducted in collaboration with Astellas Pharma.
As such, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company says it will reduce its research staff from 46 percent of the total workforce to 34 percent. About $200,000 of the money the company saves by dismissing those employees will be used to fund the CF clinical program, it said.
“The prioritization of our resources is meant to reflect our conviction that the CF and UPR programs remain the biggest potential drivers of value for Proteostasis and our stakeholders,” Proteostasis President and CEO Meenu Chhabra said in a press release. “A streamlined research organization will give us the financial flexibility to make judicious investments in our assets with the largest potential return for the company and for the patients we seek to benefit.”
She added: “We would like to thank our departing colleagues for their dedication to Proteostasis’ mission of discovering and developing groundbreaking therapies to treat diseases caused by an imbalance in the proteostasis network. Their efforts have contributed to the realization of the potential of our platform.”
CF is caused by a genetic mutation known as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). This generates a faulty version of the CFTR protein.
PTI-428 is a CFTR amplifier, meaning it increases the amount of an immature form of the CFTR protein, making more protein available for other agents to act on it. PTI-801, a new-generation CFTR corrector, addresses problems in the faulty protein. PTI-808 is a CFTR potentiator, meaning it improves the performance of other CFTR-targeting therapies.
The three therapies are designed to improve the activity of cells with a defective CFTR gene and restore the cells’ normal transport of chloride. That reduces the thickness of mucus, typical in CF, which interferes with proper breathing and digestion.
PTI-428 is being studied in a Phase 1/2 trial (NCT02718495) for its safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics. In the study’s Phase 1 portion of the study, the drug has been shown to be safe and well-tolerated, with only mild or moderate side effects reported.
Proteostasis is now enrolling patients in the study’s Phase 2 portion, with preliminary results expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.
PTI-801 will be studied in a Phase 1/2 trial by the end of 2017. This trial has the support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics Development Network Protocol Review Committee as well as the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Clinical Trial Network.
Regarding PTI-808, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company’s investigational new drug application. Proteostasis is now about to start a Phase 1 study on the drug’s safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers.
If PTI-428 and PTI-801 prove effective, Proteostasis will launch a clinical trial to evaluate combinations of all three agents by year’s end. That study will cover CF patients with the F508del mutation in the CFTR gene.
“Our company was founded on the scientific premise that small molecules can restore the balance in the proteostasis network and have therapeutic applications in multiple genetic, degenerative and metabolic diseases,” Chhabra said. “As we move forward, our focus will be in continuing the clinical development of the CF pipeline and advancing the understanding of the underlying biology of our novel CFTR modulators.”

Lockheed Martin Corp.’s LMT business unit, Aeronautics, recently clinched a modification contract involving F-35 fighter jets. The award has been provided by the Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, MD.
Details of the Deal
Valued at $32.4 million, the contract is expected to be completed by May 2026. Per the terms of the deal, Lockheed will be able to procure long-lead materials, parts, components and associated support for the production of nine F-35C aircraft from the 17th lot.
The contract will serve the U.S. Navy. A major portion of the deal will be executed in Fort Worth, TX.
Importance of F-35 for LMT
Lockheed Martin enjoys a dominant position in the global military aircraft space with its F-35 fleet. The stealth aircraft boasts features that make it an ideal choice for many nations. The company’s constant efforts to modernize and upgrade the aircraft using advanced technologies to meet current warfare needs, boost demand significantly.
The F-35 program remained the largest revenue generator for the Aeronautics business unit and accounted for 66% of the segment’s net sales in 2022.
Lockheed Martin has delivered 894 F-35 airplanes since the program's inception, with 345 jets in backlog till December 2022. This, along with the latest contract win, boosts sales expectations for the Aeronautics business segment.
The company expects to deliver 147-153 jets per year in 2023 and 2024, and 156 jets in 2025 and beyond. This should bolster LMT’s revenues significantly from the military aircraft field.
Per Mordor Intelligence projections, the global military aircraft market is expected to witness a CAGR of more than 4% during 2022-2031. Such projections indicate immense opportunities for Lockheed Martin to duly reap the benefits of military aircraft market expansion.
Other prominent defense majors involved in the manufacturing of military aircraft are Northrop Grumman NOC, Airbus Group EADSY and Textron TXT. These stocks are thus also expected to gain from the aforementioned market’s growth opportunities.
Since its inception, Northrop Grumman has been a pioneer in the development of manned aircraft. From fighter jets and stealth bombers to surveillance and electronic warfare, it has been providing manned solutions to customers worldwide. The company has built some of the world’s most advanced aircraft, ranging from the innovative B-2 Spirit stealth bomber to the game-changing E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.
Its Aeronautics Systems unit is engaged in the design, development, production, integration, sustainment and modernization of advanced aircraft systems. The Mission Systems segment, on the other hand, offers advanced mission solutions and multifunction systems like Airborne Early Warning & Control, LONGBOW Fire Control Radar and Scalable Agile Beam Radar.
Airbus Group’s military aircraft consists of the A400M, the C295 tactical transporter, the new-generation A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport and the Eurofighter, the most advanced swing-role fighter ever conceived.
The company has been providing its aircraft customers with an extended portfolio of services for more than 40 years, ranging from the training of flight and ground staff to live firing exercises anywhere around the world.
Textron’s military aircraft includes the Beechcraft T-6 training aircraft and the Beechcraft AT-6 light attack aircraft. The company also manufactures the Beechcraft Model 18 light bomber, the T-44 and T-34 training aircraft, and the T-1A jet trainer.
Its subsidiary, Able Aerospace Services, provides component and maintenance, repair and overhaul services in support of commercial and military fixed- and rotor-wing aircraft.
Shares of Lockheed have gained 7.8% in the past 12 months against the industry’s decline of 15.2%.

Afreximbank Tops Lead Arrangers’ League
The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has been ranked as Africa’s #1 mandated lead arranger in sub-Saharan Africa, according to Bloomberg’s 2020 full-year Capital Markets League Tables.
The assessment of the bank’s transactions recognised the institution’s leadership role in mobilising capital from both within and outside of the continent from a diverse range of investors and stakeholders for the financing needs of borrowers in Africa, according to a statement.
As Covid-19 caused a sudden retreat of capital and investors from the continent, Afreximbank stated that it undertook decisive action and mobilised its significant partnership-building expertise, as well as fulfilling its role as a counter-cyclical financial institution, broadening access to commercial capital even for borrowers from those countries where access to international finance remains challenging.
Afreximbank’s MLA activity has greatly mitigated the current economic downturn for many borrowers – easing the rise of potential borrower defaults in the sovereign, financial institution, and corporate sectors – and contributed to general continued investor confidence despite economic adversity.
Afreximbank said it played a leading and enabling role in nearly all the landmark deals across Africa during 2020, mobilising capital from investors comprising banks, institutional investors, ECAs, DFIs as well as guarantee providers, spanning from Africa, the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.
“The bank is delighted to have surpassed 2019’s second place MLA ranking and is determined to maintain this momentum into 2021. Indeed, as the year ahead promises further challenges, with the continued menace of Covid-19 and associated economic difficulties, Afreximbank reiterates its commitment to close cooperation with all of its lending partners,” the statement added.
Afreximbank explained that its pivotal role in the African syndicated loans market was also reflected in its third place ranking in the Administrative Agent category – a position reflecting significant progress since 2019, when the Bank was placed eighth.

These fertilisers generally contain the same basic elements as inorganic fertilisers but are not made with high energy industrial processes. Most are by-products of the meat processing industry.
Because of the source, some vegetarians have ethical concerns about using organic fertilisers and manures preferring to use inorganic fertilisers. Because of concerns regarding BSE, there are restrictions on the use of blood meal and bonemeal for organic growers as well.
Finding some of these products has become increasingly difficult because of these concerns but a good garden sundry supplier should be able to help.
|N Nitrogen %
|P Phosphorus %
|Hoof and Horn
|Fish, Blood & Bone
|Chicken Manure Pellets
Fish, Blood and Bone
This is the organic version of Growmore with similar N-P-K levels. Fish, blood & bone runs at 6-6-6 whereas Growmore is 7-7-7. Cost is around 15% more than Growmore but the nitrogen release seems to be slower which can be helpful and reduce the overall amount of fertiliser used.
Dried Blood or Blood Meal
Dried blood is a straight fertiliser being 12% nitrogen. It is easily soluble and as fast acting as inorganic fertilisers although it is between 4 and 5 times the price for nitrogen delivered as its inorganic cousins such as Sulphate of Ammonia or Urea.
Hoof & Horn
Hoof & horn is a straight fertiliser, like dried blood it is 12% to 14% nitrogen but it is slow acting. The benefit of this is that you can use it as a base dressing for crops like brassicas and it will gradually release its nitrogen payload over the season rather than in one go and then be leached by rain etc. Cost is slightly less than dried blood.
Bonemeal provides a small amount of nitrogen, 3.5%, and is an excellent source of slow release phosphorus, 18%, as well as containing calcium. It is often used as a base dressing when planting trees and bushes as phosphorus is used by plants to promote strong and healthy root growth The slow release aspect means the plant is well supplied for the crucial first year as it establishes.
Chicken Manure Pellets
Widely available these usually have an N-P-K of 4-2.5-2.3 or thereabouts. Additionally they contain organic matter and trace elements, making them an excellent choice for top dressing.
Seaweed Conditioners & Additives
Seaweed Meal & Extracts
This product is more of a tonic and conditioner than a fertilizer used to provide minerals and trace elements. Seaweed extracts like SM3 are used as a foliar feed and are claimed to increase yield, disease resistance etc.
This product is mineralised cold water coral taken from the seabed. It is comprised of approximately 50% calcium with 10% magnesium carbonate and many trace elements. It is used directly on the soil to increase microbial activity whilst increasing pH slightly. (See Kelp or Seaweed Meal)

ACLU sues Arkansas over ban on treatment for transgender youth
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Tuesday sued Arkansas to block a new law that bans doctors in the state from providing gender reassignment surgeries and other treatments for transgender youth.
The ACLU said in its suit that the law will have “devastating consequences” for transgender youth in Arkansas, setting up the first challenge to a highly controversial law that the state legislature muscled through by overriding a veto by GOP Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
“The ACLU is proud to represent them,” the civil rights group said in a statement, referencing the four transgender adolescents and their families and the two doctors it is representing. “Because of the shocking nature of the harms this law would impose, this is the first lawsuit we are filing against any of the anti-trans laws that state legislatures passed this year — and more will be coming soon.”
“Transgender children in crisis shouldn’t have to turn to the courts to ensure that they can get the health care that their doctors and parents agree they need. But that’s the reality that anti-LGBTQ forces have created as part of their campaign of attacks on transgender youth.”
The Arkansas law says that young people will not be able to obtain puberty blockers, which delays the start of puberty, as well as cross-hormone therapy, which helps transgender people to adjust their physical appearance to be more in line with their gender identities.
The law could go into effect later this summer.
The ACLU’s lawsuit says the prohibition violates the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment as well as the First Amendment.
The suit goes on to claim that the law prevents needed health care and strips families of the power to make their own decisions about a youth’s treatment.
Young people in Arkansas “will be unable to obtain medical care that their doctors and parents agree they need — and those already receiving care will have their treatment abruptly halted — which could have serious and potentially life-threatening consequences,” the lawsuit reads.
“The Health Care Ban barges into Arkansas families’ living rooms and strips Arkansas parents of the right to provide medical care for their children,” it adds.
The law in Arkansas is just one of several being passed in GOP-controlled states that target transgender youth, with many also looking to bar children who identify as girls but were assigned male at birth from participating in girls’ sports.

The flux of fluvial carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the world's oceans is known to be an important component of the global carbon cycle but within this pathway the flux and return of carbon to the river network via sewage effluent has not been quantified. In this study monitoring data from 2000 to 2016 for the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the final effluent of sewage treatment works from across England were examined to assess the amount of DOC contributing to national‐scale fluvial fluxes of carbon. The study shows that the median concentration of DOC in final effluent was 9.4 mg C/l compared to 4.8 mg C/l for all surface waters for the UK over the study period, and the DOC in final effluent significantly declined over the study period from 11.0 to 6.4 mg C/l. Rivers receiving sewage effluent showed a significant, on average 19%, increase in DOC concentration downstream of sewage discharges. At the scale of the UK, the flux of DOC in final effluent was 31 ktonnes C/yr with a per capita export of 0.55 kg C/yr and compared to an average annual flux of DOC from the UK of 859 ktonnes C/yr, i.e. only 3.6% of national‐scale flux. The lability of this DOC was limited, with only 7.4% loss of final effluent DOC concentration over in‐stream residence times of up to 5 days. The direct decline in DOC concentration from sewage treatment works was not large enough on its own to explain the declines observed in DOC concentration in UK rivers at their tidal limit.

How to Tell How Old a Car Battery Is
A car battery's lifespan escapes a car owner's consideration until the battery fails and renders the vehicle immobile. Often, this occurs at the most inopportune time and requires a call to roadside assistance and a tow to a service garage. Upon replacement, it's essential to keep in mind that most car batteries are useful for a period of three to five years. Keep this in mind so that you remain aware of the age of your car's battery.


The Type 1 "Ho-Ha" (Japanese: 一式半装軌装甲兵車 ホハ Ici-shiki han-sōki sōkō-heisha hoha) was a Japanese half-track designed in 1941 and produced in 1944 by Hino Motors. The Ho-Ha was made in response to the need of an armored personnel carrier to protect troops for enemy small arms fire. It was a low-priority project, so there weren't many produced until 1944, and by then the Japanese industry had been crippled and the Ho-Ha never saw much use.
The Ho-Ha was largely based on the German Hanomag. It had three mounted machine guns, and space to carry 12 soldiers. It boasted 8mm armor all-around, which was enough to deflect most bullets. Most Ho-Has were sent to the occupied regions of China and the Philippines, and a few remained in Japan.
The Ho-ha is the IJN half-track featured in Battlefield 1942 having replaced the previously issued Hanomag in a patch. It is armed with two MG42s, one on each side, near the front of the vehicle, it also contains ammunicion and medical cabinets available to passengers within the vehicle and It has room for six players: one driver, two gunners and three passengers. However neither of its mounted MG42s are forward-facing, however, so the vehicle is essentially undefended from frontal attacks.

What are the Benefits of Reflexology Massager for Foot Fatigue?
Your feet bear the weight of your entire body, enable locomotion & do a great deal of work. However, they are the least indulged part of your body. To indulge your feet & keep them strong & flexible, a day-to-day foot massage with a reflexology foot massager for a few minutes is a great option. Moreover, a routine foot massage in addition to reflexology helps in enhancing physiological & physical health as well.
What Is Reflexology?
Well, reflexology is a kind of therapy that uses mild pressure on particular points along your feet to make you feel better. The hypothesis is that it will ease your stress, & that helps your body function better. It is also called zone therapy.
The manner reflexology feet connect points on the exterior of your body to the inside is somewhat like acupressure & acupuncture. However, those therapies use spots over your entire body, not only on your hands, ears, & feet. And even though reflexologists do utilize their hands, it is not a form of massage.
Just as those other therapeutics, though, reflexology is complemental to medical treatments. Moreover, it is done along with conventional care, yet it is not an option to it, & reflexologists do not identify or cure illnesses.
How Does Foot Reflexology Work?
Well, there are several theories about the precise way that reflexology feet function. However, the extensive concept to all is that different points of your feet are connected to particular body parts & that putting pressure on a single point of your foot might have an impact on the organ that it connects with.
In accordance with zone theory, your foot is divided into 5 zones that run from your toe to your heel: the little toe is zone 5, & the big toe is zone 1. Moreover, your body is divided into ten zones that run from your head to your foot. Zone 1 corresponds to the left & right center of your body, & zone 5 corresponds to the left & right sides of your body. Whenever you put pressure on zone 1 in your foot, it might ease pain in the part of your body linked to that spot.
A hypothesis that stretches back to the nineteenth century implies that reflexology feet work by boosting your nervous system. Applying pressure on areas of your feet in a soothing way bolsters the nerves there, which delivers a message to the CNS. This helps to ease your body & has positive impacts on your blood flow, breathing, immune response, & more.
Another hypothesis implies that reflexology helps offshoot the way that your intellect indicates pain. When you massage your feet, the soothing sensations might help ease stress & enhance your mood making you less prone to perceive pain as profoundly.
Yet another hypothesis proposes that your body holds vital energy that is afflicted by stress. In case you do not work to ease the strain, your body might not function as well as it needs to, which might lead to illness or aches. Reflexology feet are considered to help you sustain the circulation of vital energy thru your body.
What is Foot Fatigue?
Well, foot fatigue is an extensive term that alludes to ongoing pain in your feet & lower limbs. Walking or standing up for several hours at a time might cause your foot muscles to get over-tired, resulting in painful cramps & ongoing pain.
Gym-lovers & exercise enthusiasts – particularly runners – are especially vulnerable to foot fatigue, particularly if they do not cool down or warm up appropriately before & after long sessions of activity. Nonetheless, it is also a usual complaint among individuals who get themselves on their feet day long at work.
How does Reflexology Help with Foot Fatigue?
Foot reflexology with a reflexology foot massager is a reliable method to help with your foot fatigue. Here is how reflexology help relieves your foot fatigue:
- By Improving your Blood Circulation:
As a result of a sedentary lifestyle, several individuals do not use their feet muscles correctly, thus hindering good blood flow & resulting in foot fatigue. Moreover, tight & pointed shoes–particularly high heels–lead to foot fatigue. However, ten minutes of regular foot reflexology session aids in transporting oxygen to your foot, which is essential for relieving foot fatigue.
- By Relaxing your Foot:
After a tiring & stressful day, a foot massage with a reflexology foot massager is a soothing & relaxing way to ease your foot fatigue, especially following a hard day of standing & walking around. Massage & reflexology of 5-10 minutes might improve feelings of generic well-being, which result in easing your foot fatigue.
- By Making Your Feet Healthy
One easy method to help relieve your foot fatigue is by maintaining a healthy foot & a reliable way to achieve that is by regularly massaging your feet with a reflexology foot massager. It helps bolster the muscles in your feet, minimizes stiffness & even eases pain related to foot fatigue.
- By Improving Your Sleep
A good night's sleep is also beneficial in easing your foot fatigue. And it is no surprise that foot reflexology helps in promoting a more peaceful night's sleep. As reflexology is moving energy & boosting overall circulation, it is easy to get a peaceful sleep time which helps relieve foot fatigue.
While reflexology is not medically proven as a medicinal treatment for the disease, yet people have utilized it for centuries to treat numerous ailments. Moreover, foot reflexology is also proven beneficial in treating & easing foot fatigue & many other foot issues. But always remember that it is crucial to consult your doctor before giving foot reflexology a try for your foot fatigue.

Special Effects is proud to offer some of the most advanced Risograph printing available. We stock 18 spot color inks, and output through a 600 dpi MZ 990 and PostScript Rip for the highest quality image possible with Riso duplicators.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MAKING RISO PRINTS
Riso printing is a stencil printing method similar to silkscreen that was originally created for use in offices and schools for high quantity duplication. These machines were never intended to print artwork but have been repurposed by artists due to their their affordability and unique look. Like silkscreen, Riso uses spot color inks and is not limited to a CMYK color space.
How it Works
A digital color separation is sent to the Riso, and burned into a stencil called a "master." The master is wrapped around one of the color drums and then flooded with ink. Paper is pulled into the machine, and forced between the drum and a pressure roller, forcing ink onto the page.
Spot Color Inks
WE CURRENTLY STOCK 18 INK COLORS:
Black, Light Gray, White, Violet, Blue, Aqua, Mint, Light Teal, Midnight, Kelly Green, Light Lime, Yellow, Sunflower, Fluorescent Orange, Orange, Scarlet, Bubble Gum, Fluorescent Pink
Pantone Adobe Library
We print almost exclusively on 11 x 17" paper stock, and use other standard sizes for some projects. The Riso cannot print full bleed, the maximum printable area is 10.5" x 16.25" however, we suggest having a border of 1/2" on all sides for the best results. We offer in house trimming for projects requiring full bleed or a custom size. We only print on uncoated paper, Riso ink dries by absorption.
File Setup
ALL FILES MUST BE 300-600ppi, for files with photos or fine details 600ppi is best.
For creating a grayscale version:
There are two methods of setting up files for the Riso:
2. Grayscale copy
Working with spot color channels is the best way to set up your files so you can see the results in color while the separations will automatically be in grayscale. You can easily convert your existing artwork to channels. The Riso will apply a graintouch or halftone screen to produce tints of a spot color, there is no need to bitmap files prior to printing. For information on setting tints of Pantone colors please refer to this link.
If you’d like 100% density please set your object in pure black (#000000). To produce tints we suggest setting artwork at varying shades of gray by changing the brightness percentage in the color picker. First set the color picker to pure black, then enter percentages in the brightness field. Changing all objects of a certain color can be easily done by using the recolor artwork tool in Illustrator. For example, if you’d like all pink objects to print at a 80% density, you’d set the color picker at pure black, and then set the brightness at 20%.It is best to avoid setting tints by using opacity or in shades of K.
We ask that larger dark areas of solid color do not exceed 95%, this can lead to uneven coverage and make the prints messier. Often using 100% black is not visibly different from 95% and ends up being extra ink on the page. To create a noticeable variation in tone we suggest separating them by at least 10-15% The ideal range to stay in is 10-95%, anything above 95% is not visibly darker and anything below 10% is generally too light to see.
For full color photographs or non-digital artwork, we can create "faux-cmyk" reproductions using 3-4 inks. With our 18 colors, there are many possible color combinations, allowing us to choose inks that suit the specific image. We will create separations for jobs that require this process.
Please set all type in Illustrator or InDesign if possible. Text should be set in pure black (#000000) and MUST be outlined/converted to shapes. Do not flatten text and line art, Text can be set at a tint however that requires it to to be rasterized which can cause it to be less crisp.No Transparency! Please include a white background in all documents you send us, but do not flatten files, especially files containing text.
The Riso will not print vector objects in graintouch, only with a halftone screen. If you’d like vector objects to be printed with graintouch they must be rasterized at 600 ppi.
Please set up your artwork at final trim size, unless printing with bleed. We suggest using a .125” bleed. If working in Illustrator or Indesign use the bleed feature. In Photoshop please add .25" inches to the width and height of the file.
Please do not include crop marks or registration marks!
Please do not double up artwork!
When printing zines or books, export as pages not spreads, you should also include a full color pdf of the final project set up as spreads for reference.
If you’re sending us grayscale pdfs please be sure they are exported as compatible with Acrobat 7.0 and change all compression to .ZIP compression. Do not include profiles.
As you may already know, Riso printing is not perfect, we do our best to mitigate these issues but they will still occur to some extent;
 Roller marks
 Wet ink offset
 Uneven coverage in areas of solid color
Please let us know if you have any questions!


Amplitude modulation of light from various sources
1994 (English)In: Lighting Research and Technology, ISSN 1477-1535, E-ISSN 1477-0938, Vol. 26, no 3, 157-160 p.Article in journal (Refereed) Published
This work was done to obtain basic knowledge about various light sources and specially about light modulation, or flicker. The study showed that the modulation of light varied a lot between different ordinary light sources. In general the 100 Hz component in the flickering light dominated. For incandescent lights the modulation increased with decreasing power and was in the range 10-22%. Light from the tungsten-halogen lamps had 2-6% modulation. The most common light sources (single-colour fluorescent light) had a modulation of about 20%. Fluorescent tubes with better colour rendering (full-colour fluorescent and full-colour special fluorescent tubes) had a higher modulation, 30-40%, while light from high-frequency (HF) fluorescent tubes had a modulation of 0.9%. Light from conventional compact fluorescent tubes had a modulation degree of about 44%, and for HF compact fluorescent tubes it was 2-7%. Modulation of light from HF compact fluorescent tubes had a tendency to decrease with increasing tube size. The modulation of light from discharge lamps was in the range of 52% up to 100% and the curve form of the light from low pressure sodium vapour lamp (100% modulation) contained several high frequency components.

In Maryland, whose governor aims to be president and has been all-in on Obamacare, people attempting to enroll may be thinking, "We know Apple. Apple is a friend of ours. And this turkey is no Apple."

These images, acquired by Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on October 23, 2020 and October 3, 2021 provide evidence of new deforested areas near Castelo de Sonhos, in the state of Para' in Brazil.
The Amazon rainforest is one of the world's most biodiverse areas and a vital carbon sink that slows the pace of global warming.
According to the latest data from Brazil's National Institute of Space Research (INPE), an estimated 13,235 square kilometres of rainforest have been lost in 2020-21, representing a 22% increase in the deforestation rate over one year, the highest since 2006.
The high revisit frequency of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites supports the attempts to mitigate deforestation by providing greater opportunities to acquire cloud-free optical data. This is of particular benefit at tropical latitudes, where heavy cloud cover has previously delayed the potential acquisition of a complete coverage of the areas of interest.


While various world governments have been conspiring to censor the Internet groups of hackers have been hard at work finding mechanisms to bypass proposed censorship methods. Ultimately there is a limitation of what can be done because governments can force internet providers to comply with any demand so the only effective option is to setup an alternate Internet. Members of the Chaos Communications Congress have made an interesting proposal involved low-cost satellites:
The new plan calls for sending up home-made satellites into space as part of a Hackerspace Global Grid. The project includes low-cost ground stations to track and communicate with the satellites.
Anti-censorship activist Nick Farr, bothered by the world’s threats in blocking the free flow of information, started campaigning for contributions to the Grid earlier this year.
Launching communications satellites has been attempted in the past by some amateur groups but low-budget projects have not easily managed the task of tracking the devices.
According to reports, a few small satellites have gone into orbit but usually for brief periods only. Initiatives like space missions have required the big pockets of large public agencies and private companies, but Farr hopes his plan can work.
Farr and colleagues envision a grid of low-cost ground stations to track and communicate with the satellites. They are working with Constellation, which is a German aerospace research initiative. The initiative interlinks student projects.
Attempts to setup an alternative Internet have been proposed but none have succeeded. The main Achilles’ heel has been the hardware side of things. Unless an entirely independent architecture is setup government agencies still have control of the “kill switch” (that is the central points of control such as internet providers, root domain name system servers, etc.). The obvious solution involves wireless of some sort simply because running physical cable is very expensive and it’s unlikely independent entities will be able to get right of way agreements to perform such a task. While satellite communication has a high lag time it’s far better than nothing. You may not be able to play Call of Duty 11 on a satellite linkup but you can certainly communicate with other people in the world.

PokerStars streamer ambassador Parker “Tonkaaap” Talbot has hit the poker road for the long haul. The Canadian has $1.1 million in live tournament winnings and hopes to boost that with some time away from home.
Talbot has been a bit of a poker nomad lately. More travel is in the works for the coming months, he told PokerScout while at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
“It’ll be fun,” he said of the continued travel. “I’m still young and hip with it enough that I can get away with that. I feel like I’m getting a bit old for living out of a suitcase, but it’ll be alright. I’ll enjoy it for sure.”
Recently Talbot visited the Bahamas, Croatia, and other parts of Europe. More live poker and more travel certainly seem on his menu. He spoke with PokerScout about poker in Canada, travel, streaming, new projects, and more.
Poker changes in Ontario, hitting the road
Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Talbot (pictured in lead image courtesy PokerStars/Eloy Cabacas) witnessed the online poker changes in his home province last year. Ontario went from a wide-open market to a ringed-in environment.
Some skilled players, like fellow Stars ambassador Arlie Shaban, have found success in smaller fields. Others would rather be part of the larger international online poker landscape.
So far, Talbot hasn’t played in the Ontario market after hitting the road for more live action.
“I was only really home for a couple of weeks over the holidays,” he said. “I basically bounced from Ontario when it happened.
“I stayed at Spraggy’s (Ben Spragg) house for a couple months, just bopping around and playing on the .com client. So I’ve just stayed out of the Ontario player pool and stayed in the main player pool outside of Ontario. I’ve just been traveling around and that’s going to be the plan for the next few months.”
The road trip paid off in December with a fifth-place finish in the European Poker Tour Prague Main Event for $293,352.
More travel on the horizon
Croatia has been a particular favorite. Talbot visited a friend in the country for a couple weeks and is eager for a return trip.
“I might end up there for a couple months this year at some point just to chill and whatever,” he says. “It’s just a really nice place. Everybody’s really friendly, everything’s cheap.”
Some other potential trips include South America, notably Brazil, as well as Asia. Also next up for Talbot is a poker trip to the EPT stop in Paris, France. Life as a full-time poker player has gone hand in hand with traveling for those who enjoy life on the road exploring. That seems to describe the Canadian poker pro.
“I really need to do some traveling abroad,” he says. “I’ve literally just spent my life in North America and in Europe more or less … but not really outside of those. I could just bounce around. I like to plan to go to places where I have friends or know people already.”
— Parker Talbot (@tonkaaaap) February 4, 2023
Moving beyond streaming
Talbot has streamed less lately, but still plans on some upcoming month-long stints of major online series. Some new media projects are also ahead including teaming up with Spragg
“I’ll be doing a lot of YouTube this year, playing and doing some live poker vlogs,`” he says. “Spraggy and I have got a bunch of YouTube cooked up for the pipeline this year. So you’re going to do a bunch of YouTube content this year in a couple of months.”
Returning to YouTube brings Talbot back to a place earlier in his career. He regularly dropped stream highlights on the site and had one of the biggest poker YouTube channels at one point. The new effort will offer more unique content.
Viewers may not realize just how much work goes into creating video content, Talbot notes. Seeing return on investment requires plenty of effort and content creators do much more than turn on the cameras.
“I’m not editing videos myself or doing anything like that, I’ve got a team for that,” he says. “But even on the content side, obviously it’s a grind. During the whole back end of uploading and editing and all that, the people who do YouTube and do all that stuff on their own, I have mad respect because it’s serious. It’s a lot of work.”
Bringing something new
Finding an audience among a packed Twitch, YourTube, and podcast environment isn’t easy. A quick search for “poker” among any of these platforms yields dozens and dozens of options. Finding a niche can be challenging. Talbot sees YouTube as quite different however
“With YouTube, I find that there’s really no reason to separate each other,” he says. “YouTube is really a different beast than Twitch. On Twitch, you have a listing and you’re competing with everyone in the listing for viewers. The top dog is always going to get the most viewership.
“Whereas on YouTube, if you have similar content you can just push people toward each other. Because you don’t watch a video at the same time – you watch a video and then another video and then another video. So if you have a whole bunch of similar content like me, Fintan Hand, Lex Veldhuis, and Spragg all in the Twitch poker listing, obviously we’re going to be cutting each other’s throats battling for viewership.”
However on YouTube, Talbot sees more of a team approach with his fellow PokerStars ambassadors and streamers.
“I think we can push viewers to each other’s channels and kind of grow together,” he says. “So I don’t think it’s necessarily that important to differentiate each other – just make good content.”
Advice for others & fun times in the Bahamas
As poker streaming and vlogging continue to grow in popularity, more players seem ready to fire up the microphone and camera. With hundreds of hours on stream, Talbot offered some advice for those looking to dive. Making sure there is some consistency is a major part of that.
“If you want to do it, just do it,” he says. “It’s not that hard. We’ve all got iPhones these days with good cameras. You can vlog if you want to.
“Once you make a go of something, be it streaming, YouTube, whatever, you have to make a schedule and stick to it. It’s the most important thing with any kind of social media, influencing, Twitch, YouTube, anything like that. Hopefully have a personality for it and be a little bit entertaining.”
Talbot was pleased to see the PCA return this year. He thinks the series served as a great way to bring players of all levels together, especially for the PokerStars Players Championship.
“Four years later, finally,” he says. “It’s incredible. I haven’t heard any bad things yet. Everybody that I’ve talked to just had a good time.”

Some things in life are easy. Dental practice management is not typically known as one of them.
For too many practices, life still looks something like this. Your staff spends a ton of time:
- Tracking down patients for recare
- Scheduling and rescheduling to fit patients’ ever-changing requests
- Dealing with complicated insurance forms
- Inputting customer information into your system from multiple software products or paper forms
Over our decade of innovating in the dental practice management software industry, we’ve learned a thing or two about common practice management challenges. And we know how to fix them.
Read on for actionable tips to conquer five common dental practice stressors.
1. A Constantly Full Voicemail
It seems like you could have a full-time staff member answering voicemails around the clock. It takes forever to call each patient to schedule - and often reschedule - their appointments. Your staff member is on the phone checking dentists’ calendars while the patient is trying to calculate a window between their work meeting and daycare pickup.
For your master calendar, try to:
- Create a color code: Quickly identify appointments by provider, type of service, etc.
- Switch to smaller increments: Use 10-minute increments instead of 15-minute ones. According to Dental Economics, this switch can save thousands of dollars in lost production over the course of a year
Give your dentists a break: Block out time for your dentists to rest and reset, which can improve their efficiency overall
- Consider patient self-schedule: You remain in control of your calendar but give patients the opportunity to schedule in a way that works for them
2. A Server That’s on the Fritz...Again
There’s no worse disruption to your day than when your server is down.
Could the issue be that you’ve been hitting “Update Later” on your security program for the last...365 days? Time to put the practice on pause while you call in your IT technician.
One way to avoid this dental practice management stressor is to commit to regular server maintenance. Get the newest products, download the latest updates and take every security measure you can to protect your system.
But, this is often an impossible task.
Investing in a cloud-based dental practice management software can save you from all of these headaches. A true cloud-based software continually updates your product and security for you, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
3. Reports That Lack Actionable Data
As a business owner and entrepreneur, keeping your business thriving is always on your mind. But your business reports are difficult to pull and the format doesn’t aid in formulating easy next steps.
Curve Business Intelligence provides you an actionable dashboard of the information most important to dental practice management.
Our customizable reports can show you everything you need to make your business profitable by analyzing:
- Financial information for production, collections and aging
- Recare dashboards so you know how recare is impacting your dental practice
Treatment plan overviews to empower you to more easily follow up with patients to schedule outstanding treatments
4. Paper, Paper, and More Paper
It’s the 21st century. It’s time to eliminate paper.
Paper is slowing your staff down. Retyping paperwork into your computer database is inefficient and can create costly mistakes. Worst of all, paper is vulnerable to floods, fires, and other disasters.
In a matter of minutes, your patient data could be gone.
If you haven’t switched from paper records yet, now’s the time. When patients can fill out forms electronically, it reduces in-office wait time and physical contact with front desk staff - both vital in today’s world.
And it’s better for the environment, too!
5. Garnering Great Customer Reviews
Customer reviews can be tricky for any business, but especially dental practices that rely on word-of-mouth and Google searches to bring in new patients.
And let’s face it, the dentist’s office doesn’t usually top many people’s favorite places list.
Many modern dental offices pay closer attention to the patient experience. Examine the customer’s journey from scheduling appointments and arriving at the office to patient education and billing.
Here are some things you can implement to improve your patient experience:
- Automate: Set up online self-scheduling and automatic text reminders
- Start the “paperwork” early: Have patients pre-fill paperwork online to reduce in-office wait times
- Customize the experience: If you have televisions at your chairs, allow the patient to pick their favorite (office-friendly) show. You could even go a step further and document this in their chart so you can have it ready for next time
- Relieve dental office stress: Offer noise-cancelling headphones so patients can listen to soothing music
Provide patient education: Give staff time to sit down with the patient and educate them on the services they need and why they’re important for overall health

GW Women's Soccer Heads to George Mason for Friday Night Face Off
Colonials Look for First Win of 2012 Season
Aug. 23, 2012
WASHINGTON – Continuing its swing through the Washington, D.C., area, the George Washington women’s soccer team looks for its first win of the 2012 season when the Colonials travel to local foe George Mason on Friday, Aug. 24. Action on the pitch at George Mason Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
GW (0-1) looks to bounce back following a 2-0 season-opening loss to nearby Big East opponent Georgetown last Friday. The Colonials and the Hoyas entered the break with a scoreless tie, but GU netted two second-half goals that GW could not answer.
Junior goalkeeper Nicole Ulrick made five saves between the pipes in 40:33 of action before rookie Nicole Fasano stepped in. Making her collegiate debut, Fasano set aside one shot in 48:27 and allowed two tough Georgetown goals.
Not only are the Colonials in search their first win of the Sarah Barnes era, but they also look to defeat the Patriots for the first time ever. GMU owns a 17-0-2 all-time advantage over GW, with the last meeting coming during the 2007 season.
George Mason (1-1) is coming off a 1-1 week of action in which it fell to St. John’s, 2-0, and defeated American, 2-1, in overtime. Senior Tiana Kallenberger scored the game-winner in the Patriots’ contest against American in the 96th minute in the squad’s home opener.
Fans can follow action from Fairfax, Va., via live web stream or live stats.

I am a self taught encaustic and watercolour artist, born and bred in a little seaside town on the Firth of Forth to the East of the lovely Capital City of Edinburgh in Scotland.
I work from my little she shed at the bottom of the garden and am lucky enough to be endlessly inspired by my daily dog walks with our gorgeous Border Collie, Gracie.
Big skies, water and Scottish landscapes are my muse - not to mention the Scottish climate - usually four seasons in one day!
The unpredictable nature of both watercolour and encaustic medium is what keeps me interested and enthused in my work. Like the Scottish elements, we are never quite sure what the outcome of the day will be.
I like to explore the concept of abstract views and hope that my work will inspire others to take a different view of the landscapes around them and imagine how they would look from a different angle or perspective.
I would love my paintings to convey some of the sense of curiosity and excitement I get when creating them and perhaps pique your imagination or spark a creative process within you yourself as you explore the abstract elements of my work.
There's a hidden creative in all of us!

This is the best recipe i have ever tasted
A favorite! Easy to prepare and you don't even have to heat up the oven. I'm thinking I might try white chocolate pudding next time for another fun variation. Make sure to allow enough time for thorough chilling.
Amazing!!!!!!! This is one of my two favorite desserts ever made!! The chocolate, pudding, and graham crackers make a wonderful combination. I would recommend making this at least by the morning before you eat it, or you even could make it a day before so the flavors can come together. Try it!!


Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. A botanist, plant scientist or phytologist is a scientist who specialises in this field. The term “botany” comes from the Ancient Greek word βοτάνη (botanē) meaning “pasture”, “grass”, or “fodder”; βοτάνη is in turn derived from βόσκειν (boskein), “to feed” or “to graze”. Traditionally, botany has also included the study of fungi and algae by mycologists and phycologists respectively, with the study of these three groups of organisms remaining within the sphere of interest of the International Botanical Congress. Nowadays, botanists (in the strict sense) study approximately 410,000 species of land plants of which some 391,000 species are vascular plants (including ca 369,000 species of flowering plants), and ca 20,000 are bryophytes.
Botany originated in prehistory as herbalism with the efforts of early humans to identify – and later cultivate – edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making it one of the oldest branches of science. Medieval physic gardens, often attached to monasteries, contained plants of medical importance. They were forerunners of the first botanical gardens attached to universities, founded from the 1540s onwards. One of the earliest was the Padua botanical garden. These gardens facilitated the academic study of plants. Efforts to catalogue and describe their collections were the beginnings of plant taxonomy, and led in 1753 to the binomial system of Carl Linnaeus that remains in use to this day.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, new techniques were developed for the study of plants, including methods of optical microscopy and live cell imaging, electron microscopy, analysis of chromosome number, plant chemistry and the structure and function of enzymes and other proteins. In the last two decades of the 20th century, botanists exploited the techniques of molecular genetic analysis, including genomics and proteomics and DNA sequences to classify plants more accurately.
Modern botany is a broad, multidisciplinary subject with inputs from most other areas of science and technology. Research topics include the study of plant structure, growth and differentiation, reproduction, biochemistry and primary metabolism, chemical products, development, diseases, evolutionary relationships, systematics, and plant taxonomy. Dominant themes in 21st century plant science are molecular genetics and epigenetics, which are the mechanisms and control of gene expression during differentiation of plant cells and tissues. Botanical research has diverse applications in providing staple foods, materials such as timber, oil, rubber, fibre and drugs, in modern horticulture, agriculture and forestry, plant propagation, breeding and genetic modification, in the synthesis of chemicals and raw materials for construction and energy production, in environmental management, and the maintenance of biodiversity.

For the past week or so, I’ve had a new project brewing in my mind.
These cute little antique 4″ finished stars that I bought a year or so ago have been my inspiration along with this:
This is an antique quilt top that I also bought a year or so ago. I love this quilt top – so many wonderful old fabrics in it!
So I set out creating my new design in EQ and then went on to pulling fabrics from the stash!
A yummy pile of “light” fabrics.
Excellent pile of reproduction fabrics – oh how i love color and design!
Then I set out to make a test block:
Oops – cut off a point there – oh well – life goes on!
Then with the assistance of my boss Bella:
We starched and cut fabric for most of the day yesterday! Bella is such a good boss to have around – she doesn’t say to much or complain, but let me tell you – she was really being a stinker last night and had to be in the middle of everything I was doing! She was really intrigued with my hot iron and she scared the daylights out of me with how closely she was getting to it to sniff it out and see what was going on! Thankfully, no kitties were burned or hurt in this process!
After quite a busy and long day of starching, ironing, cutting and many breaks! (Remember – I’m still recovering from Carpal Tunnel surgeries – and yes, I do take frequent breaks when doing repetitive work like cutting and ironing because my hands are still healing. If I try to do something for too long of a period – I get an achy feeling in the heels of my hands and sometimes a few fingers, so I take breaks and stretch and do my exercises just like I’m supposed to be doing! Did you know it can take up to a year or more for complete recovery – if complete recovery ever does occur? Oh yes – quite interesting stuff!)
Here is the result of a days work. 44 little piles of yummy fabrics, cut to size and ready to be created into tiny little 4″ finished size stars for my next new pattern design!
Want a sneak peek?
Not much of a sneak peek – but trust me – you’ll see more of this in the future! Think – cottons and wool – pieced stars and yummy wool applique blocks! Oh joy – I’m going to have a super fun day today! And I hope your day is just as fun!


Update on monkeypox in Canada - May 25, 2022
May 25, 2022 | Ottawa, ON | Public Health Agency of Canada
The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is issuing this statement to provide an update to the evolving epidemiological investigation into monkeypox cases in Canada. PHAC is working closely with Canada's Chief Medical Officers of Health to ensure collaboration and coordination on the Government of Canada's strategic response to address this situation. Canada is taking immediate action, including providing advice on public health measures; developing infection, prevention, and control guidance (including advice on isolation of cases); assisting with laboratory testing, sequencing, and guidance to provinces and territories; and initiating vaccine supply arrangements with jurisdictions.
Today, PHAC is confirming a total of 16 cases of monkeypox to date in Canada. All cases have been reported in the province of Quebec. The NML is continuing to receive samples for confirmatory testing from multiple jurisdictions, and will continue to support provinces and territories with testing in their ongoing investigations.
At this time, cases of monkeypox are being identified and treated by local health clinics. There is ongoing planning with provinces and territories to provide access to approved vaccines in Canada that, if required, can be used in managing monkeypox in their jurisdiction. As a preparedness step, PHAC provided Quebec with a small shipment of Imvamune vaccine from Canada's National Emergency Strategic Stockpile (NESS) to support their targeted response. Similarly, as warehousing and cold chain operations are confirmed, other jurisdictions will begin receiving limited pre-positioning supply shipments. At this point, and in alignment with international expert assessments, including the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no need for the vaccine to be used for mass immunization. In Canada, experts and health authorities are continuing to investigate the spread of monkeypox and will regularly assess the situation as it evolves.
PHAC is also updating its interim infection, prevention and control (IPC) guidance for use by health care professionals. This updated guidance will be released in the next few days, and is based on the experience of international and domestic partners. It will be further informed by National Advisory Committee on Immunizations (NACI) recommendations in the coming weeks.
Public health partners across the country are collaborating and coordinating closely in light of the arrival of monkeypox in Canada. Federal, provincial and territorial Chief Medical Officers of Health (CMOHs) are meeting regularly to discuss this evolving investigation, and actions for identifying, treating and preventing further illnesses in Canada.
The global understanding of the monkeypox virus is still evolving. To this end, the PHAC NML is performing whole genome sequencing, an enhanced fingerprint analysis, on Canadian samples of monkeypox. This sequencing will help our experts understand the chains of transmission occurring in Canada. Furthermore, Canada is also working closely with international health partners to set the global research agenda for monkeypox at the WHO's upcoming Research and Development Blueprint meeting.
The Government of Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories to assess the risks to people in Canada, respond to the evolving situation, and continue to provide updates to the public as new information becomes available.
