I support unions. While the consequences of the recent pension deal between Governor Christie and Trenton lawmakers remains to be seen, now is the time for New Jerseyans to consider how best to protect the middle class in an era of high unemployment and declining pay. Unlike my opponents, Assemblywoman Amy Handlin and Assemblyman Declan O’Scanlon, I recognize that union membership translates into higher wages and better workplace conditions for Garden State workers. Handlin and O’Scanlon not only want to reform public employee benefits — an idea that has merits — they want to restrict the rights of private sector workers to negotiate with management.

>WASHINGTON – Speaking to the American people from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, President Obama discussed the vital role advanced manufacturing will have in strengthening our economy and creating good, middle-class jobs. The President believes that realizing our nation’s potential requires more than simply cutting spending; we have to foster development at home, so that the United States will continue to grow and attract the world’s best talent, ideas and job-creating technologies. This week, the President announced the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership, which will link the federal government with our nation’s finest minds to insure that our best ideas quickly become our best technologies. By providing American innovators with the resources they need to make their ideas a reality, our nation’s strong legacy of manufacturing, development and middle-class opportunity will continue to grow.
Over the next two weeks – as the Legislature rushes to produce a budget that won’t drown in the ink from the line-item veto pen – we’re all too likely to fully realize the “new normal” that Governor Christie talked about when he proposed his budget four months ago.
It goes something like this:
Rich people and corporations get tax breaks.
The middle class will pay more.
We will all have to make do with less.
Instead of a balanced approach that includes revenues – like the courageous governor of Connecticut proposed – New Jersey’s budget relies only on cuts in services.
Instead of finding ways to invest in building blocks of a strong economy – schools, police, libraries, health care, parks, roads and bridges – the governor has dug in even further, promising to veto any tax increase, including a tax on millionaires’ incomes that has overwhelming public support. Even as state revenues start to rise a bit in the recession’s wake, the administration in Trenton insists we can’t afford:
Health care for working parents if they earn more than $115 a week.
Women’s health care at family planning clinics, even though it means missing out on federal matching funds, an increase in unintended pregnancies and higher costs to treat uninsured patients.
Maintaining the state Earned Income Tax Credit for working poor families, who have seen their taxes increase by $300 a year – the equivalent of a week’s wages – while the wealthiest got a tax cut.
Meanwhile, the state has found more than enough money to hand out $1 billion in subsidies and tax breaks for developers and corporations, including some of the most profitable businesses in the state. Extensive research and plain old common sense show that these giveaways don’t create jobs.
That’s where we come in.
As we have for 14 years, NJPP is shining a spotlight on important policy decisions with the goal of having a state government that promotes broadly shared prosperity for all New Jerseyans instead of picking winners and losers.
We’re proud to be a leading voice for fairness in New Jersey, using solid research and strategic communications to strongly advocate for those who have the smallest voices in the public arena – the poor, working families, the disabled and other vulnerable people in our society.
And we couldn’t do it without you.
NJPP’s generous supporters understand why our work is so important to the vision of New Jersey they want for themselves and their children.
You’ve received several emails from us in the past week highlighting our work.
Now, we are asking for your help.
Please click on the “donate” button below and give to NJPP today.
By contributing you will enable NJPP to keep digging deeper into tough policy issues and widely share our findings to make a difference in people’s lives. Every donation counts, whether it’s $1,000 to print and publish one of our reports or $50 to cover the cost of copying documents requested through the Open Public Records Act.
As you follow what’s going on in Trenton with the budget and other issues over the next couple of weeks, I ask that you keep in mind the work New Jersey Policy Perspective is doing and the role that you can play.
Together, we can create a “new normal” that lifts up every one of us, not just the privileged few.
Thanks so much for your support – past and future.
Deborah Howlett, President
- Rich people get tax breaks.
- The middle class pays more.
- We all make do with less.
Most states, instead of relying solely on cuts to services – cuts that threaten jobs and economic recovery and hurt struggling families – have adopted a balanced approach that includes revenues. But the plan laid out by the governor was cuts-only. It would close state facilities for the profoundly disabled; continue last year’s devastating cuts to schools; and require deep reductions in health insurance coverage for people with no place else to turn.
Over the next month or so, lawmakers and the governor will work in Trenton toward agreement on a state spending plan for the coming fiscal year.
NJPP will be in the thick of things.
As we have for 14 years, NJPP is fighting for the return of fair and progressive fiscal policies that until recently provided opportunities for all New Jerseyans and prosperity that was broadly shared across the Garden State. In a series of emails over the next couple of weeks I’ll give you more details, but here are a few highlights of the work that NJPP is doing to make a difference.
- Senior Analyst Ray Castro is a leading voice in the independent and critical analysis of how cuts to NJ Family Care, the state Earned Income Tax Credit, and Medicaid will make it harder for poor and working families to get by.
- A study by NJPP and the national group Demos showed that a bill to deregulate telecommunications in New Jersey would cost consumers, especially the poor and the elderly. Using the findings in the report, NJ Citizen Action and AARP went to work on lawmakers and in a grassroots effort that included more than 10,000 phone calls to legislative offices they succeeded in getting the measure tabled.
- NJPP’s report on the proliferation of corporate subsidies is the foundation for ongoing efforts by the Better Choices coalition, of which we’re a member, to restore badly needed revenue. Made up of more than 70 nonprofits — including human services, education, religious, and labor groups – Better Choices is a vocal advocate for a proposal developed by NJPP to raise taxes on the wealthiest among us, those with income (not net worth, but income) over $1 million a year.
We’re proud to be a leading voice for common sense in New Jersey, and to strongly and clearly advocate for those who have the smallest voices in the public arena – the middle class, working families, the disabled and the most vulnerable in our society.
That work was spotlighted in a story published recently by the Asbury Park Press, which caught the attention of one of its hometown readers, rock icon Bruce Springsteen. Speaking of NJPP and our partners, Springsteen wrote in a letter to the editor, “These are voices that in our current climate are having a hard time being heard, not just in New Jersey, but nationally.”
Like you, and The Boss, we refuse to accept the idea that there’s a “new normal.”
Not here in New Jersey.
Not this year.
More to come…
Deborah Howlett, President

Manhunt Underway – Two Officers Dead, One Injured
Three officers responded to a domestic disturbance call in Palm Springs. Shots were fired.
The Palm Springs Police Commissioner confirmed that one of the dead officers is a 27-year-old mother.
Earlier we reported:
Two officers are dead. One injured. Police are on the hunt for the gunman. A hospital is on lockdown.
The Desert Sun reported: “Frances Serrano, who lives directly across the street from where the shooting took place, spoke to the father of the suspected shooter moments before the incident. The father told Serrano that his son, who has mental issues, had a gun and wanted to shoot cops.
“He came over and asked for help,” she said.
Serrano called the police and the father walked back toward his house. Soon after, Serrano heard gunshots. ”
Witnesses heard between 10 and 20 gunshots. Multiple cruisers and a SWAT vehicle are on the scene.

My Answer: After the breaking of the vessels (desires) in the World of Nikkudim, the broken desires, which can be used, are chosen for building the worlds of ABYA. Whatever is left is called “Klipa” (shell) or the impure desires. Klipa are the desires that cannot be used (corrected) for the sake of bestowal until the End of Correction.
A Klipa manifests in the process of clarifying the cause of illness and isolating the rest of the body from it. The whole body (the broken soul) is aching: the head, legs and arms, the heart and the lungs. Why is that? I discover that some small, sick area poisons the entire body because everything in the body is connected.
If I isolate the source of the disease from the rest of the body, the part called “Klipa,” the rest of the body can be revived and corrected. I constantly make sure that the bad part doesn’t mix with the body, doesn’t interfere with it, and spread the disease over it again.
This is our work with Klipot (plural of Klipa). We clarify them in each property. In the soul’s body, the disease affects each cell and organ; therefore, I have to separate the source of the illness and cleanse and correct the rest. I then replenish everything possible except for the affected place which I pull out or cut off from myself.
In other words, Klipa are the desires which I have to discern, separate from a healthy body, and not use anymore. Then I can correct the body. After I perform this work 100% and completely divide the desires into two parts, the healthy and the sick, the End of Correction (Gmar Tikkun) arrives. I then see that the Klipa can be corrected as well.
How do I know which desires are good and which are Klipa? The Light of AB-SAG comes and separates the desires which can be used from the Klipa. It shows us whether each particular desire is for the sake of reception or bestowal. Based on this, we can determine the place of each desire and build a ladder from them, in accordance to the similarity to the Light.
When the Light illuminates all the desires, we can easily see which ones are closer or further away from the Light and which ones are opposite to the Light completely. We only need the Light in order to see this.

As we use more and more our smartphone (and tablets) to check results, stats or to even place bets, mobile apps are becoming more and more important for our betting strategy.
These are my TOP 5:
- OneFootball (FREE)
- 365Scores (FREE; £9.99 Remove ads)
- WhoScored (FREE)
- All Goals (FREE)
- OLBG (FREE)
1) OneFootball (FREE)
After trying all the major LiveScore apps for the last 2 years there is no doubt OneFootball is the most impressing I tried. Unlike others there are no annoying ads to navigate through while checking the results. The ads are very minimal and there is an option to remove them for just $0.99 a month. The app is also very fast to open and very light so not minimal loading time.
As with others you can select your favorite leagues teams to follow and they have a very good news section as well worth checking out. Interesting is also the Live Tracker they offer where they offer a live comment of the game as well as game facts before each game.
All in all the best LiveScore app I found and easiest to use.
2) 365Scores (FREE; £9.99 Remove ads)
This is still a favorite app for checking live results, tables and fixtures.
It has a nice and simple graphic, It’s very intuitive and doesn’t crash very often although sometimes their ads slow down too much the experience and makes you reload it. There is an option to remove them completely that comes at $9.99.
I use this app mainly to check the Live scores of the leagues I selected as favorites (you can select as many as you like, and they have also small countries championships and cups), but there are also other interesting things.
The News section is full of the most important news from newspaper websites and football related websites, and you can find both match and league Statistics and Tables.
As a blogger I feel every time I write something the need to deliver a piece of writing that can help other people understand better betting and to give the reader the most useful tips for a great c…
3) WhoScored (FREE)
Like their website the app is full of fantastic information, like livescore, stats, previews and more.
Once you install the app you can get updates/notifications for goals and final results.
Very interesting is their Daily Match Facts section where you can find interesting facts or trends about a specific team that might lead you to bet on a certain team in a specific market (example: Team A have won their last 11 home games, etc.)
Although Scores365 feels more clear in terms of checking scores as you just need to scroll up or down to check previous results, WhoScored app loads faster and has way less ads than the former.
4) All Goals (FREE)
I’ve recently found this app and it’s quickly becoming my new favorite. There two great things about it: it loads super fast, and it has no annoying ads like in 365Scores that you need to pay for to remove.
This is also one of the most complete I’ve seen around with over 400 leagues covered worldwide. The team pages are impressive with squad stats like minutes played, goals and assists, plus a full page of team stats, as well as all the results of the season. All the players too have a profile page with most important stats over the years in different clubs they played for. This is impressive considering not all the apps around give those info and doing it in a very fast app with little or no ads is even more impressive.
The app has also pre-match and livematch odds for each and every game with most important bookmakers featured and you can quickly customize the app selecting your favorite leagues, teams and even players to follow. Very interesting is that you can even choose the order of how your favorite leagues will appear in the app. Top Football app all around.
5) OLBG (FREE)
Like with their website OLBG is one of the best place around to check tips from top tipsters on the most important games and markets.
In the app you can quickly find out the most popular tips of the day, follow your favorite tipsters and receive a notification everytime they tip. One of the best thing about OLBG is the incredible community built around it and the fact that the tips comes with a detailed comment on why the tipsters have made that particular selection. Eeven if you don’t wanna follow the tip, before placing a bet it’s nice and helpful to check what top tipsters are saying about your selection on OLBG.

LONDON (Alliance News) - AbbVie Inc Wednesday retracted any statements that suggested it had the support of Shire shareholders in its bid to acquire the UK-listed company for GBP30.1 billion, after potentially over-stepping the mark when it comes to UK takeover rules.
In a statement, AbbVie said it wished to clarify some press and newswire reports about its latest takeover bid for pharmaceuticals rival Shire. It said it had not received any written commitments of support from Shire's shareholders and "accordingly retracts the statements".
"It acknowledges that in the absence of written statements of support from shareholders it is not in a position to make any statement of shareholder support which accords with the provisions of Rule 19.3.," it said, referring to one of the UK takeover process rules.
AbbVie raised its proposed takeover offer for Shire by 11% on Tuesday to GBP51.15 a Shire share, from GBP46.26 a share previously. The new proposal is for GBP22.44 in cash and 0.8568 ordinary shares in the new company for each Shire share.
In its statement Tuesday, the US company said that it had met with, or spoken to, a large number of Shire shareholders who "collectively represent a majority of Shire's outstanding shares." It said these were primarily longer-term shareholders, including its largest shareholders.
However, it didn't say whether those shareholders had indicated their support for any of the AbbVie approaches for Shire. AbbVie Chairman and Chief Executive Richard Gonzalez only urged Shire shareholders to "strongly encourage the Shire board to engage in constructive dialogue with AbbVie".
AbbVie's sweetened proposed offer for Shire was its fourth approach. It has so far been rebuffed by the Irish company. However, on Tuesday Shire said its board would meet to consider the fourth proposal and make a further announcement in "due course". It urged its shareholders to take no action for the time being.
AbbVie is now running to a tight deadline. Under UK takeover rules, once a takeover approach becomes public a bidding company only has a short amount of time to make a formal takeover bid for the target or it has to walk away for at least six months. AbbVie currently has until July 18 to make its formal bid or walk away.

Drake dropped two solid new cuts on OVO Sound Radio last night.
Running on a mellow sample of LOX and Biggie’s 1996 track ‘You’ll See’, ‘4pm in Calabasas’ finds Aubrey mulling his rap gameplan and sending out a subliminal diss to Joe Budden – at least, according to Budden.
“Sounded inspired,” the rap veteran tweeted. “He snapped just now, even if he dissed me and Puff the whole time… He ain’t sound that inspired in a minute (to me).”
The track is the fourth in a series based on times and locations, following ‘9am In Dallas’, ‘5am In Toronto’ and ‘6pm In New York’.
Drake also unveiled a new track from free man Gucci Mane called ‘Back On Road’, produced by Ontario newcomer Murda Beatz.

Harvey is a 26 foot Class C American RV, circa 2003. He’s going to be our home for the bulk of our family sabbatical touring Europe in a motorhome, which starts in June of 2019.
Harvey started his life with a motorhome rental company in Ontario, Canada, and after a number of years of faithful service, he was refurbished and sold to a couple who, we are told, took him on a trip across Canada to see the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and BC. He was then sold to a family for the purpose of taking trips to the US, but upon discovering they couldn’t take their pet macaw across the border, they decided to sell him. To us!
We bought Harvey specifically for our 2019 family gap year in Europe. He’s the smallest pre-owned Class C we could find in our (low) price range that had a permanent bed in the back as well as over the cab. We did not want the hassle of taking apart a bed every morning and setting it up again every night.
Harvey has a small bathroom with a toilet and shower. The main living space has a small washroom sink, a Norcold fridge that can run on electricity or propane, a stove (no oven), a microwave (used for storage), a banquet with table (which is where the kids sit when we’re driving), a small chair, and assorted cabinets.
Although Harvey is small by North American standards, he’s wide and tall compared to European campers. Driving a wide, tall and long American RV on the narrower roads in Europe will be a challenge! To (hopefully) keep us from getting stuck on a too-tight turn in some medieval village somewhere, we’ve equipped Harvey with a Garmin Camper GPS which will route us according to Harvey’s height, width
In Europe we plan to park outside of campgrounds as much as we can, in order to decrease our costs. To prepare Harvey for Europe, we modified him in a few ways.
Modifying an American RV for Use in Europe
We’ve made the following modifications to Harvey:
- Plugging Harvey into European campground power was going to involve a large and expensive inverter, and most European campgrounds do not offer enough electricity to power Harvey’s microwave and air conditioner in any event. We want to free camp anyway, so we installed solar panels on Harvey’s roof to provide us with off-grid electricity.
- We added a 12 V outlet beside each bed for Wandering Family Man’s CPAP machine.
- We installed a Fantastic Fan in the bathroom to provide air flow through the RV while also taking washroom smells out.
- We plan to handwash our clothes most of the time, so we installed a portable clothesline in the bathroom. The aforementioned Fantastic Fan will help the clothes dry.
- There aren’t many places in Europe to empty a black water tank (European campers use cassette toilets) so we removed Harvey’s RV toilet and replaced it with a Thetford 365 cassette toilet with a
5.5 gallonwaste water tank.
- We converted a clothes closet to a pantry by installing a DIY shelf and some plastic storage bins.
- Because we will often have to park on the outskirts of towns due to Harvey’s size, we are bringing our bicycles, a tag along for Wandering Family Boy (7) and a Chariot bike carrier for Wandering Family Girl (2). We removed Harvey’s rear-mounted spare tire so that we can carry the bikes on our Yakima Roadtrip RV bike rack.
We’ll provide regular updates throughout our family gap year as to our choice of RV and our mods. Feel free to ask us any questions by using our contact form below!

In 1772, the rift between Britain and its American colonies has put a frightening word into the minds of all concerned: revolution. Violence has already reared its ugly head in rural North Carolina, as cabins have been burned to the ground. To preserve the colony for King George III, the governor pleads with Jamie to bring the people together and restore peace. But Jamie has the privilege, although some might call it a burden, of knowing that war cannot be avoided. Claire has told him that the colonies will unite and rebel, and the result will be independence, with all British loyalist either dead or exiled. And there is an additional problem. Claire has discovered a newspaper clipping from 1776 that tells of Jamie's death.

Lehigh Eye Specialists (LES) was founded in 1996 by Glen L. Oliver, MD and Maz Kazahaya, MD. Both were vitreoretinal surgeons with a vision for establishing a state-of-the-art medical and surgical ophthalmic practice offering the most advanced techniques and technology available to care for patients in the Lehigh Valley in a caring and compassionate environment.
In 1988, Dr. Oliver started a private practice in Allentown specializing in the diseases and surgery of the retina and vitreous. In 1995, he was joined in practice by Dr. Kazahaya, whom he met during Dr. Kazahaya’s internship at LVHC-TAH (now LVHN). Together they formed Lehigh Eye Specialists. Drs. Oliver and Kazahaya were in practice together until Dr. Oliver’s untimely death in 2002.
In 2009, Dr. Kazahaya was joined by his good friend and co-resident, David DeRose, MD. Dr. DeRose had been in practice in northeast PA for 12 years prior to joining LES. With Dr. DeRose’s expertise in cataract and refractive surgery, corneal diseases and surgery, and glaucoma, LES became a specialty center for both anterior and posterior segment ophthalmic surgery.
As LES grew, additional specialists were needed to address the myriad ophthalmic conditions that presented to the practice. As such, Julie McLaughlin, OD was brought into LES in 2014 as the dry eye and ocular surface disease specialist. And, in 2020, Tricia Lennox Thomas, MD joined LES as the glaucoma specialist.
Over the years, LES has had changes in doctors and personnel, but has always upheld its commitment to its vision to provide the highest quality eye care in a caring and compassionate environment.
At Lehigh Eye Specialists, we take pride in our unwavering commitment to excellence in complex eye care. Our renowned ophthalmologists bring together a wealth of expertise and cutting-edge technology to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of ocular conditions. Whether it’s managing intricate retina issues, performing advanced cataract surgeries, addressing corneal diseases, offering refractive surgery options, providing specialized glaucoma care, or alleviating dry eye discomfort, we are dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients.Retina Cataracts Corneal Disease Refractive Surgery Glaucoma Dry Eye

Gírio, Francisco M.
|Citação:||Ortigueira, J.; Pinto, F.; Gírio, F. M.; Moura, P. Fermentation of biomass-derived syngas to ethanol and acetate by clostridium ljungdahlii. In: 4th International Conference on Engineering for Waste and Biomass Valorisation, Porto, September 10-13, 2012, 1p.|
|Resumo:||In the biochemical pathway of lignocellulosics conversion into fuels, a significant portion of biomass cannot be hydrolysed to fermentable sugars and remains as waste substrate that, due to its recalcitrance, is not converted to ethanol by microorganisms. In terms of product yield, this residual biomass represents renewable feedstock that is being wasted, which contradicts the target of 100% feedstock utilisation. The gasification of this biomass constitutes an alternative to circumvent this problem, as the produced synthesis gas (syngas) can be used as substrate for microorganisms that are able to convert CO, CO2 and H2 into important bulk chemicals and biofuels, such as ethanol, acetate and butanol [1,2]. Thus, syngas fermentation to ethanol and acetate can be regarded as a possible process to increase the overall product yield from lignocellulosic feedstock. Some advantages of fuels and chemicals production through syngas fermentation over metal catalyst conversion are the possibility of utilisation of the whole biomass regardless its quality, the independence of a fixed H2:CO ratio for the bioconversion process, a higher specificity of the microbial biocatalyst over chemical catalysts, and the bioreactor operation at ambient conditions . However, syngas fermentation also presents several limitations, such as low yields and poor solubility of the gaseous substrate in the liquid phase. The objective of the present study was to evaluate C. ljungdahlii as microbial catalyst capable of fermenting syngas produced by gasification of spent solids obtained after lignocellulosic biomass saccharification and fermentation into ethanol. The heterotrophic and autotrophic growth of C. ljungdahlii were compared. Parameters such as bacterial growth, acetate and ethanol production, substrate consumption, and bioconversion yields were evaluated. In order to overcome the problem of gas diffusion in the liquid phase, fermentations were conducted at different total pressures|

Intercollegiate Scrabble tournament finale held at the American Center / Image US Embassy
Joel Sathiaraj, a student of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Madras) won the Alfred Butts Intercollegiate Scrabble tournament which was organised by the American centre, US Consulate General Chennai, in association with Queen Mary’s College.
Tamil Nadu government’s Director of collegiate education Dr G. Geetha inaugurated the tournament in the presence of US Consulate General Chennai’s spokesperson Samantha Jackson and Queen Mary’s college principal Dr B. Uma Maheswari. scrabble grandmaster Ranganatha Chakravarthy was the tournament director.
“Words are the most powerful tools of communication, especially in diplomacy. They bring nations, societies, and cultures together. The American Center Chennai aims at promoting education, intellectual engagement, and cultural exchange through such events,” Samantha Jackson said.
Presidency College's Jebrish T. and Anindita S. Raju won the tournament's second and third rounds, respectively. Around 108 scrabble players from city colleges competed in the tournament showcasing their linguistic and strategic prowess. The preliminary rounds took place at the Queen Mary’s College and the finale was hosted at the US Consulate General Chennai’s American Center.


Former college quarterback Baker Mayfield says he’s not a bad boy and he’s not like Johnny Manziel.
Former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield arrived at Senior Bowl practice late on Tuesday. The reason? He was late because he had flown home because his mother had been hospitalized.
“My mom’s not doing great,” Mayfield told Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post. “Family first.Always. Doesn’t matter what the situation is. I would never put myself before my mom…Like I said family first.”
According to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, a fan website questioned Mayfield’s reason for arriving late. It speculated that Mayfield was late to avoid being measured. The Heisman winner responded on Twitter.
“Showing up late? What would you do if your mom had gone to the hospital? Get outta here. Family before myself always,” he tweeted.
The former Oklahoma quarterback also said that he’s not like former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.
“Everyone wants to portray the bad boy, the Johnny Manziel stuff, but I love the game of football,” he said. “There’s no doubt about that. I’m an emotional player. I do anything it takes to win. I love being around my teammates and I love leading and having responsibility.”
Manziel had a reputation for being a bad boy. He partied a lot instead of focusing on football when he was in the NFL. Mayfield clearly isn’t like Manziel. The Oklahoma quarterback is focused on his football career, something Manziel wasn’t when he played.
It is unknown if Mayfield will play in the Senior Bowl. However, he wants to show NFL scouts who he really is. The Denver Broncos will be one team that will be looking at Mayfield. The New York Giants could also be looking at Mayfield to see if he could be Eli Manning’s replacement at some point.

Spinach is a dark leafy vegetable. This is one of the superfoods for a healthy body and mind. Let us see some of the nutritional facts and health benefits of spinach here. Also, get a list of 15 best vegetarian spinach recipes.
(These are only for information purpose and not for any medical advise.)
I love spinach. And I love it in any form. This dark green leafy vegetable is one of the nutrition-packed super-food. This is a low calorie and low carb vegetable filled with required vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and antioxidants.
So adding this green vegetable to your daily diet helps to keep our body and mind strong and healthy. Adding a cup of spinach to your daily diet, you will get 100% of your daily requirement of Vitamin A, 30% of vitamin C, K, iron. Also, this is a versatile vegetable that you can add in any form, as an appetizer, in soups, in curries, smoothies, or even raw spinach in salads.
Raw Spinach or Cooked Spinach - Which is healthier?
Raw spinach contains oxalic acid, the substance that inhibits the absorption of essential nutrients by our body. Especially calcium and iron. Oxalic acid binds to calcium and makes it unavailable to our body. Thus it makes the calcium and iron useless if you consume raw spinach.
At the same time, when spinach is heated, the oxalic acid breaks down making no loss of nutrients. Hence, steamed or sautéed spinach is fully packed with required nutrients as compared to the raw spinach.
However, raw spinach is good source of many other nutrients (without affected by oxalic acid) such as potassium, folate, niacin, riboflavin which are more absorbed when eaten raw.
Similarly, cooked spinach has a higher absorption level of vitamin A, beta-carotenoids, vitamin E, protein, fiber, calcium, and iron. So keeping this in mind, you can decide your balanced portion of spinach cooked or raw.
Spinach is a superfood
Spinach is an excellent source of Vitamin C, K, & A. This superfood also contains plentiful manganese, magnesium, folate, iron, phosphorous, potassium, and many micronutrients too. Spinach also has a good amount of protein and fiber. This is a low carb vegetable perfect for the keto diet also. Read top 10 keto vegetables here.
It also contains antioxidants that prevent oxidative damage of cells. This is a low carb and low calories vegetable good for the keto diet as well. You must include this superfood in your daily diet unless until you are suffering from any disease that restricts the consumption of large quantity of spinach in our diet.
Health benefits of spinach
- Keeps our bone strong and healthy - Vitamin K improves calcium absorption and makes the bone healthy.
- Helps in keeping our digestive system healthy - The presence of high insoluble fiber keeps the digestive tract healthy and prevents constipation.
- Reduce oxidative stress & damage - Antioxidants help reduce the oxidative damage to the cells and tissues. Free radicals cause many harmful diseases. And these antioxidants keep away such diseases.
- Helps fight cancer - antioxidants fight cancer-causing cells and the plant compounds prevent the formation of cancerous cells in organs.
- Keeps heart healthy - High nitrate and potassium keep the heart healthy and decrease the rate of heart diseases.
- Keeps eyes, hair, and skin healthy - Vitamin A and the carotenoids which convert to vitamin A keeps eyes, skin, and hair healthy.
Who should avoid intake of spinach?
- People with a high risk of kidney stones should avoid taking a high amount of spinach. Spinach is rich in oxalate, which leads to the formation of kidney stones.
- People who take blood thinners should also avoid or control the portion size of spinach intake. This is because of the high amount of vitamin K which helps in blood clotting.
- Over-consumption or consumption in large quantities can cause kidney stones, abdominal pain, low blood pressure, vomiting. Consumption should be in moderation and it will be beneficial. Therefore, our diet should be balanced always (not over-eating any vegetables/ grains)
Personally, I add this superfood spinach 2 - 3 times a week to my diet. If you are consuming it daily in salad, or smoothie, or sauteed, you must limit the portion size of this green leafy vegetable.
Some Vegetarian Spinach Recipes
How can I forget this, when I'm writing about the health benefits of spinach greens. Here is a collection of some of the healthy and easy vegetarian spinach recipes from my dainty kitchen. Out of these vegetarian spinach recipes, some are vegan too.
I love to blend this superfood in any food form. In fact, this is a versatile food that not only makes food healthy but also delicious. These recipes are vegetarian or vegan.

Before the Commonwealth Games, the beggars on streets had been forcibly removed, they are back, doing what they did – begging.
Amitabh Shukla /
Before the 2010 Commonwealth Games in October,
They are back now. And back with a vengeance. All streets are full of beggars so are the markets, traffic junctions and almost all religious places of the city. Not only the beggars, the people uprooted from slums too are trying to get back in their original place only to be shooed away. It is now clearly visible that instead of long term
measures and solutions, the authorities merely undertook the short term measures and the results are there for all to see all over the national Capital.
The act of democratic
Now questions are being asked as to why these actions are taken when there is a huge event about to take place. Shouldn’t poverty reduction and cleaning up the streets be an ongoing process? The beggars too are citizens of their country and also ask for a place under the sun like their more fortunate citizens hailing from demarcations like the lower, middle or the upper class.
Why wasn’t a war on poverty launched instead of removing the beggars. Why didn’t the government launch policies to help the poor in the run-up to the Games instead of trying its best to get rid of them. The amount which was gobbled by the corrupt officials in the Games could have easily funded the rehabilitation package for 1 lakh beggars which the city has.
After the fiasco of the Games and the scams associated with it, people are genuinely questioning the relevance of holding such events now. The stadiums and venues, built with tax payer’
s money are lying unused. Soon, the new coat of paint and plasters will peel off and there would hardly be any long term legacy left for the citizens to cherish.
The Commonwealth Games was not a joy for the poor of the city. They now have a simple prayer. “For God’s sake, do not organize any such event in

Davies says Fulham players happy with break
With it being the Fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday and Sunday, Davies and his team mates will be enjoying a rare respite this weekend.
"I think it's always good to get a break," the Welshman admitted to fulhamfc.com. "Not just for me but the lads coming off the back of the European games as well - they've had such a tough six months.
"We've trained well this week but we'll have a couple of days off now and hopefully recharge the batteries and finish the season strongly on the back of it."


Cooperative continuum robots (CCRs) are composed of multiple coupled continuum arms to cooperatively conduct manipulation tasks. They can highly enhance the performance of individual continuum arms by providing extra stiffness, leading to increased accuracy, payload capacity, and dynamic stability of the robot. This study aimed to investigate the stiffness analysis of tendon-driven supportive-type CCRs (S-CCRs). For this purpose, first, a generalized framework for the dynamic mathematical formulation and numerical solution of S-CCRs was proposed, their dynamic response to complex scenarios was obtained, and the accuracy of the model was experimentally evaluated. Then, the capability of stiffness modulation of S-CCRs was studied. Tendon-driven S-CCRs are potentially capable of changing the stiffness with structural configuration, providing active stiffness control at the design level. Hence, in this study, the effects of the connection point location/angle of the supportive arms to the operative arm, as well as the imposed tendon limitations of the supportive arm on the stiffness of the robot, and consequently on the dynamic payload manipulation, were studied and practical solutions were proposed to develop a simple but effective stiffness control mechanism. This study showed that a typical S-CCR can increase its stiffness, just by a modular connector design up to 84% during manipulation, bringing a novel opportunity for stiffness modulation of CCRs.

Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi International Airport announced Monday the closure of its Terminal 2, the authority said on its Twitter account.
“As part of our continuous efforts to provide exceptional service to our airline partners and passengers, we are announcing the closure of Terminal 2 and migrating all existing flights to Terminal 1 at the airport”, a statement said.
The move comes after several flight suspensions in the wake of coronavirus, but the airport later clarified that this latest move was in no way connected to the outbreak.
“The closure of Terminal 2 at AUH is fully in line with our dedication to delivering exceptional service to our airline partners and passengers and is not in relation to the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19)," a statement from the airport said on Monday.
“We are currently working with our airline partners to ensure a seamless transition of their operations to Terminal 1. We advise passengers to check the departure terminal with their respective airline before travelling.”
Additional measures for passengers arriving from visa exempt and high-risk countries were also released by the airport, following a UAE decision to suspend the issuance of entry visas.
This does not apply to passengers who hold passports from Visa-exempt countries entitled to a visa upon arrival – listed further below.
Passengers from visa-exempt countries and those arriving from high-risk countries will be subject to advanced polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing at the airport.
Following testing, passengers will be required to self-isolate for four days. Following the four-day isolation period, passengers will be required to undertake a secondary PCR test to confirm a COVID-19 infection, the airport website said.
List of Visa-exempt countries
Andorra, Estonia, Maldives, Slovakia, Argentina, Finland, Malta, Slovenia, Australia, France, Mauritius, Solomon Islands, Austria, Germany, Mexico, South Korea, Bahamas, Greece, Monaco, Spain, Barbados, Holland, Montenegro, Sweden, Belgium, Honduras, Nauru, Switzerland, Brazil, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Ukraine, Brunei, Hungary, Norway, USA, Bulgaria, Iceland, Paraguay, United Kingdom, Canada, Italy, Poland, Uruguay, Chile, Japan, Portugal, Vatican City, China, Kazakhstan, Republic of Ireland, Colombia, Kiribati, Romania, Costa Rica, Latvia, Russia, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Cyprus, Lithuania, San Marino, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Serbia, Denmark, Macau, Seychelles, El Salvador, Malaysia, Singapore

Vintage Anchor temporary tattoo by Inkweartattoos on Etsy.I love the colors and the flowers, but I wouldn't get an anchor, I would get shears instead :)
Look at these symbols when you need inspiration for geometric #tattoos I love the one for understand.
I love the very wispy, downy look to these. I love how realistic they look too. I'd like something like these very much.

Stem Cell Therapeutics
Dr. Frank's laboratory research focuses on the physiological and pathological roles of the human P-glycoprotein family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. His laboratory has cloned and characterized a novel human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, ABCB5, which marks mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) subpopulations in human and murine skin. Dr. Frank's work has demonstrated a unique regulatory role of ABCB5 in the newly recognized phenomenon of stem cell fusion, and in cell fusion-dependent growth and differentiation. The identification and characterization of ABCB5 P-glycoprotein as a marker of adult skin-associated stem cells has allowed Dr. Frank's laboratory to initiate studies regarding the differentiation plasticity and immunomodulatory capacity of this unique cell subset in vitro and in vivo. Thus, current and future research efforts of Dr. Frank's laboratory are geared towards using adult skin-derived ABCB5+ stem cells as a transplantable cell source for novel therapeutic applications in tissue engineering and regeneration, and for stem cell-based modulation of transplant allograft rejection and autoimmune disorders.
Cancer Stem Cell Multidrug Resistance
Dr. Frank's laboratory has also shown that ABCB5 serves as a multidrug resistance transporter in human malignant melanoma, confering resistance to chemotherapy in vitro. Subsequent work has shown that ABCB5 expression 1) marks melanoma cells of stem cell phenotype and function; 2) correlates with tumorigenic growth of melanoma cells in vivo; and 3) is more abundant in human malignant melanoma than in benign melanocytic nevi in human patients. In tandem with fundamental approaches to further establish ABCB5 as an identifier of melanoma stem cells and to characterize the functional roles of ABCB5 in physiological and cancer stem cells, Dr. Frank's laboratory explores the clinical relevance of ABCB5 as a biomarker of melanoma progression, prognosis, and outcome, and to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of ABCB5 targeting in preclinical animal models of human malignant melanoma.

text: Much in the same way that RAKninja was among the most prominent of and in a sense the unofficial leader of the First Generation of Tennis Fucks, ChrisGendo effectively took up that role as a part of the Second Generation. He was one to very much hold up the theory side of tennis, always describing the game as a conversation, and favoring the collaborative and musical sides of the game especially in his later matches. With over 50 completed games under his belt, ChrisGendo has come to be viewed as a tennis legend, known for the omnipresence of anime in his work with an editing style that mixed classic elements with post-classic sensibilities and a signature use of reverb and strobes that gave many of his videos a decidedly ethereal and mood-driven feel. He has been a very strong competitive player, making it to the final game of the 2010 Three-Way Tennis Tournament and becoming the winner of the 2011-2012 Doubles Cup II along with teammate and kindred spirit AshcrementVII. He is accredited to the idea of Triples Tennis, devised in 2010-2011, which had a tournament of this variant take place in 2013. His standout matches include games with TheChutley, NS2, AshcrementVII, Therazoredge and djninjalovemistake. In later years ChrisGendo moved in a much more visibly musical direction in his videos overall, leading to his signature 2011 work “celery”, a YTPMV made entirely out of the intro to Serial Experiments Lain, and its subsequent sequels. The majority of his work can be viewed in the archive below.

Heart of Dankness: Underground Botanists, Outlaw Farmers, and the Race for the Cannabis Cup
Reporting for the Los Angeles Times on the international blind tasting competition held annually in Amsterdam known as the Cannabis Cup, novelist Mark Haskell Smith sampled a variety of marijuana that was unlike anything he’d experienced. It wasn’t anything like typical stoner weed, in fact it didn’t get you stoned. This cannabis possessed an ephemeral quality known to aficionados as “dankness.”
Armed with a State of California Medical Marijuana recommendation, he begins a journey into the international underground where super-high-grade marijuana is developed and tracks down the rag-tag community of underground botanists, outlaw farmers, and renegade strain hunters who pursue excellence and diversity in marijuana, defying the law to find new flavors, tastes, and effects. This unrelenting pursuit of dankness climaxes at the Cannabis Cup, which Haskell Smith vividly portrays as the Super Bowl/Mardi Gras of the world’s largest cash crop.
Author Richard Grant said, “”Wickedly entertaining. Mark Haskell Smith goes on a quest for the world’s finest cannabis, and uncovers an obsessive global subculture of artisanal growers, seed botanists and connoisseurs — all of them chronically stoned and fiercely competitive, striving like winemakers to express the terroir of their product and achieve the ne plus ultra of ‘dankness.’ Warning: this book may produce an uncontrollable urge to get high.”
And Patrick Baker of The Millions wrote “I like my nonfiction to be both entertaining and edifying, and Dankness delivers both….If you want to know how the contemporary cannabis industry operates, Heart of Dankness is the book for you. But beyond that, Dankness is a great book for anyone with an inclination towards connoisseurship….the book holds great appeal beyond the world of marijuana aficionados. Take it from a guy who hates reggae: I highly recommend picking up Heart of Dankness, whether you have a doctor’s recommendation or not.”
The book was named one of the “Top Travel Literature Titles of 2012” by Lonely Planet.

The development, initial implementation and support of a primary health care training programme in rational drug use
Permanent link to this Item
Link to Journal
University of Cape Town
The Rational Drug Use Training Project is a district-oriented programme designed to improve rational drug use among primary health care prescribers in the South African public sector. This thesis describes the development of the project and details the initial implementation study in 3 facilities in Region B of KwaZulu-Natal. This was a small before-after study, with no control. There were three components: 1. A series of easily collectable drug use indicators, adapted from those developed by WHO/INRUD. These allow primary health care staff to monitor their prescribing patterns in a district or facility. Ninety sets of prescribing indicators were collected as a baseline at 3 facilities in KwaZulu-Natal in December 1996, by the district trainers and the Rational Drug Use Training Project staff. The process was repeated in March 1997, after the training intervention, by the district trainers alone. 2. The intervention was a 2-day training workshop in rational drug use. This is problem-based and trained on-site in primary health facilities. Training was done by 8 district trainers from Region B who were taught to present the workshop by the Rational Drug Use Training Project staff. The workshop covers principles of prescribing, use of standard treatment guidelines, principles of clinic stock management and principles of good dispensing. Staff are encouraged to develop their self-learning skills through questioning, and seeking answers to clinical and drug related queries. 3. A set of resources, including texts, treatment guidelines and information centres, to provide quality, safe and unbiased drug information, are made accessible to staff at primary care level. These are available by post, telephone or e-mail. The Primary Care Medicines Resource Centre at the University of Durban-Westville was developed as a result of this study. Significant improvements in prescribing habits were noticed after the study. There was an increase in the percentage of drugs prescribed by their generic names (p=0.000); an increase in the number of medications adequately labelled (p=0.0132); a decrease in the cost of prescriptions (p=0.0134); and a decrease in the number of prescriptions that did not follow standard treatment guidelines at all for that diagnosis (p=0.0109). The Mann-Whitney U- test was used for statistical analysis. There were no significant changes in the average number of drugs per prescription; the percentage of drugs from the Essential Drugs List; and the number of prescriptions that completely followed standard treatment guidelines. Qualitative feedback was favourable too. This was a difficult study to undertake. The staff and funding organisation, Health Systems Trust, fell outside of the provincial health structure and met resistance at that level. Regional politics shaped the programme's design. District trainers needed for the cascade approach were not available. District staff remained entrenched in a traditional health hierarchy and found it difficult to function as a team. The will of district prescribing staff to learn was low. Rational drug use training is only one of a number of essential elements of in-service training urgently needed by these staff. Despite these problems, quantitative and qualitative success was shown. The Training Manual, developed in support of the training, has been in demand. The Primary Care Medicines Resource Centre is growing. Primary care prescribers have been motivated to monitor their own practices and manage their own clinic stock. The project is a successful example of multi-disciplinary and institutional collaboration. The Rational Drug Use Training Project has expanded to eight other health districts in 1997. A list of criteria, such as the need for a district trainer, have been set. These must be met by the district before training will commence. The project is a resource for Initiative for Sub-District Support, a joint district development programme of Health System Trust and the Department of Health. Most expansion in 1998 will be through this initiative. The difficulties encountered and achievements made during this small study will be used to support, and hopefully strengthen, the development of the primary health care oriented district health system, so urgently needed by the South African population.

Have you ever had to wait for important lab results? If so, you feel my pain.
Although I was not overly concerned with the mole, I did have a sinking feeling in my gut when the nurse told me she could not give me the results until the doctor was back in the office. I have friends who have received pathology reports from their nurses, and the way that she insisted I wait for the doctor made me feel a tad bit uneasy. I wanted the results. Good, bad, or ugly, I wanted them.
At 6:30 this evening, I received a voicemail saying that everything was fine. The mole showed no signs of melanoma.
Deep sigh of relief.
Of course I did not want the mole to be a melanoma for the obvious reasons, but I truly did not want to be kicked out of the trial. I knew that if I showed evidence of disease, I would be kicked off of the trial immediately. I am about the head for round 4, I don't want to be booted out now!
It should come as no surprise that being told that I am still NED lifted a huge weight from my shoulders. I know that tonight I will sleep more peacefully.

This partnership is a significant step forward in the fight against cancer. The project will provide a central hub and a federated infrastructure that will link EU-level and national initiatives, hospital networks, and research repositories with cancer images data to help improve early cancer detection and treatment options.
Quibim will adapt its platform to explore and visualize the imaging and clinical data included in the repository, analyze them, and extract predictive models of patient outcomes.
Clinicians, researchers and innovators will have cross-border access to an interoperable, privacy-preserving and secure infrastructure for federated, distributed analysis of cancer imaging data.
Valencia, January 24, 2023 – Quibim, a leading medical imaging technology partner, joins the European Commission’s European Federation for Cancer Images (EUCAIM) project directing major tasks focused on governance and implementation of the Central Hub and data federation and interoperability. This first-of-its-kind European ‘pan-cancer’ project aims to create an easy-access to cancer images for clinicians, researchers and innovators to streamline cancer diagnosis, treatment and care.
The infrastructure will be populated by observational studies from hospitals (21 clinical sites in 12 EU countries), include clinical images and link with pathology, molecular and laboratory data and will be expanded to at least 30 distributed data providers from 15 countries by the end of the 4-year project.
Quibim is strategically positioned in EUCAIM as the first company in funding resources, leveraging its experience implementing QP-Discovery®, their imaging and multi-omics platform with cutting-edge technology for transforming imaging data into actionable predictions.
The company will adapt its platform and provide the marketplace to meet the requirements related to the analysis, annotation and exploitation of data and third-party data transfer services through QP-Discovery®. Quibim will lead the EUCAIM Data Preprocessing tools and services contributing to the development of imaging quality control and curation.
In addition, Quibim will be in charge of the image and feature harmonization pipelines to guarantee the minimization of batch effects on the datasets used to train models in the EUCAIM infrastructure, providing tools for the harmonization of feature-based datasets.
This project aligns with the company’s primary goal: to turn imaging into a catalyzer of precision medicine. Quibim is a crucial ally in this initiative that aims to promote innovation and the deployment of digital technologies in the treatment and care of cancer to achieve more accurate and faster clinical decision-making, diagnosis, treatment and predictive medicine for cancer patients.
EUCAIM: Europe’s most prominent medical image biobank
The EUCAIM project is a pan-cancer initiative that analyzes common elements between different types of tumors to develop more effective cancer therapies. The project, which has 76 partners, aims to create a digital infrastructure for storing and analyzing cancer images without any identifying patient data. Furthermore, it’s the cornerstone of the European Commission initiated European Cancer Imaging Initiative, a flagship of the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan (EBCP), which aims to foster innovation and deployment of digital technologies in cancer treatment and care, to achieve more precise and faster clinical decision-making, diagnostics, treatments and predictive medicine for cancer patients.
The project brings together clinical data providers, researchers, research infrastructures and industry partners with innovative solutions that address the challenges of implementing such a cancer imaging infrastructure. The infrastructure will feature complex and simple oncological anomalies, anonymize the collected images (with over 60 million anonymized cancer image data), and include data from more than 100,000 patients.
EUCAIM will provide access to health professionals, researchers, and innovators worldwide, while prioritizing data privacy and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). European laws will govern the infrastructure and consider different countries’ unique data management regulations. Quibim, with its extensive experience in data de-identification, will also provide tools for image de-identification to guarantee compliance with GDPR and for image annotation by means of segmentation masks.
The project builds upon the results of the work of the “AI for Health Imaging” (AI4HI) Network which consists of 5 large EU-funded projects on big data and Artificial Intelligence in cancer imaging: Chaimeleon, EuCanImage, ProCancer-I, Incisive and Primage.
“As a company, we seek to leverage the power of medical imaging to improve diagnosis of cancer and prediction of patient outcomes. We offer solutions that analyze these images in depth, performing ‘virtual’ and non-invasive biopsies, extracting critical information to diagnose diseases,” points out Angel Alberich-Bayarri, CEO of Quibim. “By participating in the EUCAIM consortium, we seek to provide universal access to this information and make precision medicine available to different healthcare organizations” he concludes.
In addition, the project plans to implement at least 50 artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, AI tools and clinical prediction models for researchers within the infrastructure by the end of the project. These AI tools can detect diseases before they become evident on radiological images, providing early detection and improving the chances of successful treatment. One example of these tools is Quibim’s QP Prostate® and QP Brain® solutions, which can detect prostate and brain diseases by comparing new images with similar images from a database of known diagnoses.
Quibim, through its imaging biomarker panels, can analyze the mechanisms of diseases such as cancer, improve drug programs and monitor treatment efficacy. Using a whole-body analysis approach for each patient, Quibim is driving tissue-agnostic precision medicine, regardless of the type of cancer or where in the body it originated.

Is Hemp Suitable For Addressing Mood Disorders
In medical marijuana, there are smaller levels of THC but high amounts of CBD. This means that individuals do not have to worry about psychoactive impacts, but that they can get the advantages of contemporary medicines, minus potentially dangerous chemicals. Those who are struggling with mood issues can benefit from using medical weed to treat their issues, thanks to the higher cannabidiol content. This helps to enhance serotonin levels in the brain and also has an effect on the damaging chemicals so that you generally feel more comfortable and happier.

I just bought an Ultimaker 2 and it has started making clicking sounds.
To me it sounds like a wood click, or structure shift, its either happening in the back left corner (on the short belt and the motor) or on the rods (left and right ones).
I still have those "click" sounds when I move the print head manually. I can't see anything hitting the sliding blocks or directly hitting the corners.
It looks like clicks only happen in y axis. And it only happens in specific places.
I tried re-alligning belts but either I did it wrong or the belts aren't causing the problem.
Also I tried moving the left rear motor a bit up to lower the tension on the short belt.
It looks like it doesn't affect the print quality (much).
When I changed the positions of the belts (also the motor and the short belt) frequency of the sounds changed ( the tone and volume of the sounds didn't change).
Sorry for bad English.
Thanks for the help.
