The Tenax protective tubular mesh netting offers premium protection for your goods.
Mesh sleeving is a simple way to provide protection for cylindrical and awkward shaped items throughout a number of industries. Plastic sleeving is often used to protect the legs of furniture such as tables, desks and chairs whilst in transit, whilst mesh netting is used to protect both metal and ceramic items such as door furniture and kitchen fittings from sustaining chips, scratches and scrapes during both transportation and installation. Resistant to oil and grease, protective sleeving mesh is often used to protect components and machined parts.
Plastic mesh sleeves are easy to apply and can be used again and again.
The particular rhomboidal mesh of these nets allows them to hug around the irregular shaped objects such as corners and curves. In this way, maximum protection during transportation and storage is achieved. These nets, characterised by their low cost and speed of application, are ideal for use in the engineering industry.
They can be adapted to specific requests for different colours, mesh apertures, weights and dimensions. They are supplied in easily dispensed rolls. Our flexible mesh can be used for protecting glass (including bottles for which it is especially suited), ceramics, engineering parts and a whole host of products during manufacture, assembly and shipping. Manufactured from polyethylene, Tenax netting is resistant to both oil and grease.
Widths shown in the table above indicate the minimum (un-stretched) and maximum (fully stretched) dimensions.

We enjoyed breakfast at Les Délices de Joséphine twice during our short visit to Saint Pierre. They have fresh baked pastries, yummy quiches and great coffees. They have a nice and simple breakfast option/special that was great for a lazy morning: croissant, 1/3 of a baguette with butter and jams and a cappuccino (or coffee or latte). Very tasty and freshly baked. A nice very nice place with great service.

AUSTIN DISASTER RELIEF NETWORK HOSTING INTAKE CENTER ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY FOR WINTER STORM ASSISTANCE
Austin, Texas, March 1, 2021 – Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN) will operate an Intake Center later this week to assist residents impacted by Winter Storm Uri. Trained and badged ADRN Volunteers will meet with families and individuals who need emergency assistance with food, gas, housing, and repairing damage to their homes in the wake of the frigid conditions that blanketed our region in recent weeks. These skilled volunteers will help to connect residents with available resources including FEMA support and funds donated to the ADRN Winter Storm 2021 Fund.
“Many Central Texas residents still have damage to their homes from fallen trees and debris as well as pipes that burst during the deep freeze,” said ADRN Executive Director Daniel Geraci. “Our network of churches stands ready to walk with these families impacted by the storm with the physical, emotional, and spiritual support they need until they’ve fully recovered. It’s hard to overstate the impact this winter storm continues to have on families needing help with plumbing so they can have safe water, or they may even be unable to live in their homes at all because of flood damage. We’re here to help.”
Central Texas residents in need of assistance MUST pre-register to take part in the ADRN Intake Center at ADRN.org or by calling our disaster survivor hotline at 512.806.0800. Location and time details are as follows:
ADRN INTAKE CENTER FOR WINTER STORM 2021
LOCATION: Promiseland Church, 1504 E. 51st Street, Austin, TX 78723
Friday, March 5 – 9 AM – 5 PM (last appointment begins at 4 PM)
Saturday, March 6 – 9 AM – 4 PM (last appointment begins at 3 PM)
Residents must bring the following documents with them to their intake appointment:
- Photo ID (Driver’s license, State ID card, passport, other government issues ID, student ID)
- Document with name and address (current utility bill, mortgage coupon, bank account statement, government benefits card)
- If possible, any documentation of winter-storm water damage or other related losses and needs.
- FEMA number if they’ve applied for federal assistance.
CRISIS CLEANUP HOTLINE: 1-800-329-8052
Residents in Bastrop, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties can call the “Crisis Cleanup” toll free number at 1-800-329-8052 requesting assistance to clean up their home and/or debris as well as repairing plumbing damage. The “Crisis Cleanup” line will operate Monday-Saturday, 9 am – 8 pm, and Sunday, 1 pm – 6 pm. Homeowners can register for assistance through the “Crisis Cleanup” number until Friday, March 5. Volunteer crews have already begun deploying from ADRN network churches and other organizations to begin the cleanup effort.
Families seeking information about disaster relief support should call ADRN’s Survivor Hotline at 512-806-0800.
SHOWERS AND FREE LAUNDRY CENTERS AVAILABLE
ADRN is collaborating with several area churches from its network to provide shower and laundry locations for local residents who don’t have access to clean water as a result of the recent winter storms. Residents who need access to these services can sign up at ADRN.org for specific locations, and to reserve time slots for a warm shower and fresh clean clothes.
Monetary donations, in the form of financial funds, are still needed at this time to help ADRN provide support to those who’ve experienced weather-related disasters. Funds will be distributed in the form of gift cards, emergency housing, and/or supplies needed to meet immediate and long-term needs.
To make a tax-deductible gift to support disaster survivors, go online to adrn.org/give.


After saving scores of lives a man has decided to teach basic first aid skills to the community, for just £10.
32 year-old Danny Hyde, who lives in Newmans Lane, Loughton, has worked in the emergency services for the last eight years.
Danny teaches first aid to corporate businesses, through his company Emergency First Aid Ltd, although says that friends and relatives have inspired him to start low cost sessions, for people in the community.
He said: “Just talking to friends, especially those with children, I realised that people are keen to learn basic first aid.
“Grandparents, parents and even teenagers are coming to the course. I want to run a few across West Essex to get as many people trained up as possible.
“There is no certificate or qualification, but in one hour I can teach people how to save their loved ones.
” Shocking figures show that 140,000 people in the UK die, every year, in situations which basic first aid could have prevented.
Aside from saving lives as a part of his job, Danny has had to use his skills on his days off and says that anyone, with just an hour of training, can be the difference between life and death.
He said: “What I have realised from my own experiences is that saving a life is easy.
“The skills needed to keep someone alive until the emergency services arrive are simple and anyone can use them.
“First aid courses can take up to twelve hours and cost around £90, I am teaching the basics for just ten pounds."
The first of the one hour courses are already fully booked, although Danny hopes to run as many as possible in the coming months.

In Tilburg, next to the great university, there is a dark, beautiful forest called De Oude Warande. Once a royal forest of some kind, roads and paths are laid out in star pattern superimposed on a series of squares inscribed within the outer boundary:
It is different from the forests of Alaska (no bears) or the Lower 48 (no deer hunters), and different again from the highly cultivated parklands you see in the U.K. De Oude Warande isn't wild, really, although some wild animals undoubtedly live there. It's park-like, although not strictly groomed or cultivated. It wasn't hard to find a quiet place there to do my tai chi exercises, that morning last November:
De Oude Warande seemed worn to me, or (perhaps I am reading too much into it) even careworn, and walking down its roads, thoughts of European history weighed heavily upon me:
As I wandered before my seminar I thought of some of the bad forests of Europe: Katyn
, for example, or Kampinos
, the ancient forest west of Warsaw where they murdered poor Przepiórka
, among many others. Or, if you are German, there was the mad waste of the Ardennes offensive
, and the terrible, pointless fight in the Spreewald
, right at the end of the war. This is deep in the German psyche, right back to Hansel and Gretel
, although one could argue that the German warrior spirit first came of age when the tribes met the Romans im Teutoburger Wald
And as I approached the center of that somber vale, I saw in the distance a dark geometric structure, subdued, mournful, standing in silent testament to some unknown sorrow.
Turns out it's a nice coffee shop, called The Grotto
. The girl was very nice, and the coffee was delicious.
The rest of my walk was uneventful.

Revolutionary Worker #1117, September 2, 2001, posted at http://rwor.org
An emergency demo for political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal has been called for September 15 in Philadelphia.
On August 17, a militant crowd of 1,500 jammed the sidewalks outside a Philadelphia courthouse. Inside the courtroom, there was a "status hearing" on Mumia's petition in the Pennsylvania state courts to present newly discovered evidence for a hearing under the Post-Conviction Relief Act (PCRA). Judge Dembe had signed an order to bring Mumia from death row to Philadelphia for the hearing. But higher authorities stepped in and put a stop to Mumia's court appearance.
The District Attorney objected to a new PCRA on the grounds that the deadline had passed for accepting new evidence-in particular the testimony by Arnold Beverly, a man who has stated that he, not Mumia, shot Philadelphia cop Daniel Faulkner in 1981. Judge Dembe gave Mumia's attorneys until September 7 to file an argument on why Mumia's request meets the legal time requirements. The state has until September 21 to reply. Then Judge Dembe will decide to proceed with oral arguments on Mumia's petition or dismiss it outright. (A full report on the August 17 hearing and march appeared in last week's issue of the RW and is available online at rwor.org.)
According to the International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the demands being raised by the September 15 action are: "1. That the Arnold Beverly confession be heard by the state courts; 2. That an evidentiary hearing be held in the state courts to consider all of the evidence pointing to Mumia's innocence; 3. That Mumia be present at this hearing and at all legal proceedings in his case; 4. That Mumia be released from prison because of evidence of his innocence as well as police, prosecutorial, and judicial misconduct in his original 'trial.' "
EMERGENCY ACTION FOR MUMIA
Saturday, September 15 at 1 p.m.
Mass Demo at Philadelphia City Hall

Lower your food costs by cutting out the waste
Australians spend an enormous amount of money on food - in fact, according to news.com.au, Australian grocery bills are some of the highest in the world! Numbeo adds that in Australia, food costs over 7% more than it does in the United States.
Food costs are higher in part due to us simply being used to paying more for consumer goods. In addition, people often assume that higher priced items equals higher quality, which everyone wants in food, even though high quality food is not always what you’re getting - no matter how much you pay for it.
While we can’t change the cost of food in the supermarket or groceries stores, we can be more mindful of how we use food in order to save money. For example, a lot of food simply goes to waste, but by changing this habit, it’s easier to cut down on your grocery bills. Here are a few tips on how you can lower your food costs by simply cutting out the waste:
- Only buy what you need at the supermarket. Never go shopping hungry or you’ll tend to buy more than what you need. Also take a list with you and stick to it! Sometimes we simply buy what looks good, only to realise later on that it was never eaten by the time it expired.
- Make use of leftover food. This is probably the single most common way that people waste money on food. You make a big dinner and put the remaining food away only to find it's still there days later - uneaten! Now you have to throw away the food, which creates a big waste and a large dent in your budget. While it may not be an easy habit to break, make a rule in your house that leftovers are eaten before they get replaced with new food in the house. Yes, it may be boring to eat the same thing for a couple of days in a row, but you’ll significantly cut down on your food expenses.
- Share leftovers with friends or family (or a neighbour). If you have extra food that you’re not going to eat, invite a friend or family member over for a catch up and a 'casual' bite to eat. This is a great way to use leftovers - just throw a salad together or add some extra vegies and you've got another appertising meal - plus you’re still saving on food costs and you're not letting any food go to waste by throwing it out.

Wheel bearings allow your wheels and drive shafts to spin freely. They’re under enormous pressure and can withstand a lot of heat. Some bearings can be lubricated to make them last longer, but others must be replaced when they fail. If the bearings are integrated into a key component the whole thing must be replaced.
Be sure to have a certified Pawlik Automotive technician inspect your bearings regularly to see if any need maintenance. If the bearings can be reused, your technician will pack them with grease and reinstall them. If not, they will put new bearings on.
When the bearings are not working properly, you’ll hear an annoying whining sound coming from under the car. Be sure to bring your vehicle to a Pawlik Automotive NAPA AUTOPRO centre right away. If you wait too long, your wheels may lock up, or you may end up having to call a tow truck.

Stripe Joins the MACH Alliance
MACH Alliance, a group of independent tech companies dedicated to advocating for open, best-of-breed technology ecosystems, announced today that Stripe has joined the Alliance. Stripe, which builds economic infrastructure for the internet, is used by many of the world’s leading enterprises from Amazon to BigCommerce, Ford, Zara, Maersk and more.
“Stripe serves as an excellent example of a company that’s built upon a modern technical infrastructure,” said Casper Rasmussen, MACH Alliance president. “They’ll be strong champions for the Alliance across their vast network of users and partners, which will influence broader embrace of MACH across the fintech category.”
“MACH Alliance is enhancing the online commerce space and is a leading standard for the industry,” said Dorothy Copeland, global head of partnerships at Stripe. “Becoming a member was an obvious choice—many existing Alliance members are already Stripe users and partners, which demonstrates the importance of this ecosystem to accelerate digital experiences.”
The internet economy is still nascent. Traditional businesses are increasingly coming online or expanding their digital presence—including through payments and financial operations. It is only with a modern technology architecture that they can make the transition to the digital age.
Organizations of all backgrounds from startups, to digital natives, to traditional enterprises require MACH principals to grow. As found in MACH Alliance’s annual survey of global IT decision makers, the inability to innovate is stifling competitiveness.
A MACH architecture—which stands for Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless—gives companies a deeper level of flexibility, allowing them to quickly deliver new features for customers. MACH Alliance members must meet stringent certification standards and need to be in full compliance to be granted membership.

It is now four months since the Welsh Government purchased Cardiff Airport for £52m from Spanish infrastructure company Abertis.
It will be years rather than months before we can measure how effective the takeover has been, but the airport once again has the aura of a growing business with a chief executive who knows where he wants to take the business and owners who are going to support him.
The immediate challenge is to show airlines that the Cardiff market is now growing again and persuade them to invest in new services. This is not a fast process and we all need to be patient while new airlines and routes are delivered.
One possible future for Cardiff Airport has been revealed in submissions made by Western Gateway, a consortium of academics and businessmen, to the UK Airports Commission.
The limiting factor for Cardiff Airport is the number of people living within a two-hour travel time, so the best that can be delivered in the short to medium term is for Cardiff Airport to become the long-haul airport for the south west of the UK, making best use of the infrastructure already available.
In the long term, more passengers from the south of England could be brought into the crucial two-hour travel time to the airport by connecting it to the UK rail network and, ultimately, a new HS3 high-speed rail line to London.
This rail line would not only transform the airport but, by reducing Cardiff to London journey times to an hour, also restore the competitiveness of Cardiff which will be eroded, compared with English cities, by the building of the HS2 high-speed rail line.
Much of the infrastructure for Western Gateway depends on UK Government rail investment and is outside the control of the Welsh Government. Where the Welsh Government can make major improvements to the airport is in the provision of surface access by bus. Cardiff Airport has gone in one step from famine to feast in introducing the new airport express bus service.
The high-quality vehicles run from Cardiff city centre every 20 minutes throughout the day, from early morning to late at night.
This is massively over capacity for an airport the size of Cardiff, but does transform surface access.
In the short term, we will see many buses travelling empty, but no airline or passenger can now complain at the provision of public transport at the airport.
The visit of the first British Airways Airbus A380, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, to Cardiff Airport last month has given us some clues as to how the British Airways maintenance facility located at the airport is going to develop in the future.
The facility supports 800 highly-skilled jobs undertaking heavy maintenance for the British Airways long-haul fleets of Boeing 747 and 777 aircraft. Safeguarding those jobs would have been a factor in the decision by the Welsh Government to buy the airport. It demonstrates the economic and employment benefits of a successful airport and why ambitious plans for the airport need to be pursued.
British Airways is going through a fleet renewal, with the Boeing 747 aircraft eventually being retired from the fleet completely. Two new types are being introduced to the fleet this year, the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787. These aircraft will first require heavy maintenance in about six years and this work needs to come to Cardiff to secure the future of the facility.
If Heathrow continues to be constrained, Cardiff Airport will expand and air passenger numbers will continue to grow, because they will have to go somewhere.

Even as some reformers describe a crisis in public education, Tampa Bay area residents are offering a time-tested response: My child's school is just fine.
Parents in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Hernando counties give generous marks to their children's schools and teachers, according to a St. Petersburg Times-Bay News 9 poll conducted last month.
Forty-nine percent of respondents rated their schools as "excellent," while 41 percent rated them "good."
Almost as many gave good grades to their kids' teachers. Eighty-five percent gave teachers a rating of either "excellent" or "good."
The phone survey of 702 parents was conducted Sept. 24-30 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
The ratings remained consistent across racial, economic and gender lines.
A number of parents who answered the poll agreed to interviews Wednesday. Several said the degree and ease of communication between teachers and parents strongly influenced their opinion of the school system.
Jac Generalli, whose children go to Clearwater Fundamental Middle School and Curtis Fundamental Elementary School in Pinellas County, said mandatory parent-teacher meetings promote a climate of trust and transparency necessary for children to succeed.
"We're very well informed," Generalli said.
David Haglund of Hernando County said his daughter's teachers at Springstead High School respond to e-mail queries promptly and keep parents updated about students' progress through an online system.
"They put the emphasis on what the children need," Haglund said. "They do it very well."
Some parents noted smaller class sizes and the diversity of classes offered. Others said they like schools that provide children with greater access to technology and use the latest teaching systems available.
Tony Arredondo, whose daughter is in first grade at Philip Shore Elementary School of the Arts in Hillsborough County, said he was glad she has access to a computer lab at school. Becky McClintock, whose third-grader attends Oakhurst Elementary School in Largo, said she appreciated the school's use of SMART boards, which are interactive white boards.
An overwhelming proportion of parents — 73 percent — said their children received just the right amount of homework.
Tom Johnston said his children, who attend Charles S. Rushe Middle School and Sunlake High School in Pasco County, spend the perfect amount of time on homework every night — 30 minutes to an hour.
But others said they would like to see their children challenged a little more.
Arredondo said the 20 to 30 minutes his first-grader spends on reading and math homework every night is simply not enough.
"I haven't seen any science or geography homework," said Arredondo, who rated the Hillsborough school system as "good." "I understand math and reading are what the little ones are focused on. Let's turn that up a notch."
Arredondo, who has an 18-year-old stepdaughter, said the type and quantity of homework children get seem to have remained the same for the last decade — one indicator that the school system hasn't improved significantly.
His solution: "Pushing the limits a little bit more."

It looks like anti-virus apps are going away as Apple tries to prevent customers from believing the iPhone and iPad are vulnerable to viruses and malware. According to a MacRumors report, Intego’s VirusBarrier has been pulled from the App Store as part of that crackdown.
VirusBarrier was designed to prevent iOS devices from acting as a gateway for malware and viruses. The app scans malicious files that might be stored in the cloud or attached to emails. It also detects and quarantines viruses that could be sent on to other devices.
According to Intego CEO Jeff Erwin, “Apple has elected to eliminate the category of anti-virus and anti-malware products from their iOS App Store. As a result of this decision, our product VirusBarrier iOS is no longer available for sale.”
Customers who already own VirusBarrier iOS will continue to receive virus definition updates, but the app itself will no longer be updated.
When Apple first pulled VirusBarrier from the App Store, the company informed Intego that the description for the software was “misleading” and could potentially cause customers to believe that there are viruses on iOS. In response to that, Intego rewrote the App Store description to be “obnoxiously” clear on what VirusBarrier does. According to MacRumors, Intego even followed the executive chain of command at Apple, appealing for the app’s reinstatement, but they were unsuccessful.
Intego has made it clear that they do not feel singled out by this action. Erwin said that Intego was “one of several companies affected by Apple’s decision.” Searching the App Store today for “anti-virus” returns results that are made up mostly of games, privacy apps, and apps for finding lost phones.
This move is somewhat understandable, but it is still a defeat for mobile security. Apple’s concerns that a few customers might be misled into believing their iPhone or iPad can be infected by a virus should not trump keeping other devices safer from infection. Any app that can prevent your iOS device from acting as a gateway for viruses, trojans, and malware is a good security measure, and Apple’s deletion of the category displays a narrow-minded focus that could potentially make it easier for other devices and computers to become infected.

Today I want to talk about how to style the camouflage windbreaker, which can make you look pretty stylish and boyish. If this is your first time trying to style camouflage items, it’s not hard to understand that at first glance it may seem a little difficult to pull them off. As soon as you put it on, you will find that the camouflage windbreaker is almost as easy to pull off as a solid color windbreaker. To make styling even easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of the best camo windbreaker outfit ideas for you. Let’s look at them now.
Oversized camo windbreaker with a black, short tank top and ripped jeans
To start this list of stylish and casual outfit ideas, I’ll start by showing you a boyish and low-key sexy outfit. To shape this wonderful street outfit, you can simply wear a slightly cropped black tank top with an oversized camouflage windbreaker. Pair them with blue heavily ripped skinny jeans and white trainers to complete the look.
Camo windbreaker with black t-shirt and skinny ripped jeans
Here’s what you need to do to get this low-key, yet attractive and stylish street outfit. Wear a black t-shirt with a camouflage windbreaker. Combine them with black, high-waisted skinny jeans. For the shoes, wear a pair of white low-top sneakers to complete the outfit in style.
Camo windbreaker with faux fur collar, gray hoodie and dark blue skinny jeans
This is quite a unique street outfit that you might want to wear when the weather turns a little colder. A gray hoodie and a camouflage windbreaker with a white faux fur collar to polish off this look. Wear it with navy skinny jeans and black leather boots to complete the look.
Camo windbreaker with a black tank top with a scoop neckline and blue skinny jeans
To achieve that casual street outfit, you can wear an oversized camo windbreaker with an oversized black scoop neck t-shirt. Combine them with dark blue skinny jeans. For the shoes, wear a pair of gray suede ankle boots to look sleek and stylish. Finally, add a black leather handbag to complete the outfit in style.
Camo Windbreaker with Greyish Blue Skinny Jeans
To create this stylish and casual outfit, perfect for casual hangouts and grocery shopping, you can simply wear a white t-shirt with a slightly oversized camouflage windbreaker for the top. Combine them with gray skinny jeans. Wear a pair of white sneakers for the shoes to finish the look neatly.
White tank top with low scoop neckline, camouflage jacket and dark skinny jeans
To achieve this lovely and low key sexy outfit with a boyish feel, here’s what you want to do. Wear a white fitted tank top with a low scoop neckline and a camouflage jacket. Combine them with dark blue skinny jeans. Wear a pair of light pink ankle boots for the shoes to complete the look.
Windbreaker with a green hoodie and ripped black jeans
This is such a stylish and unique outfit that it is easy to look nervous, which is fun every now and then. To achieve this look, you can wear a green hoodie with a camouflage windbreaker and a black and white polka dot t-shirt. Pair them with black ripped knee slim jeans. Wear black and white canvas low top sneakers to complete the cool look.
Camo baseball cap with matching windbreaker
Not only does the camo jacket look good, there are also all kinds of camouflage items that look very attractive. For example, to achieve this look, you can wear a camo baseball cap with a camo windbreaker. Team them with black graphic slim fit trousers. For the shoes, wear a pair of black and white low-top classics to look extra youthful.
Camo snowboard jacket with black snow pants
If you go snowboarding or skiing, you can borrow the outfit ideas mentioned earlier but give them a little twist. For example, you can wear a camo snowboard jacket instead. Pair it with black snow pants. Of course you want to wear black snowshoes for the shoes.
Oversized camo windbreaker with white t-shirt and black skinny jeans
To look casual and airy you have to use the concept of less is more. To shape this outfit, you can wear a white oversized graphic tee with an oversized camouflage windbreaker. Combine them with a pair of black skinny jeans. For the shoes, wear a pair of black and white trainers to complete the outfit.
Midi length camo jacket with matching pants & sneakers
To look super unique and eye-catching, here is an outfit that you might want to wear every now and then just for fun. To shape this outfit, you can wear an oversized, medium length camo jacket with a camo hoodie. Combine them with black and white camouflage pants. For the shoes, wear a pair of black and white trainers to complete the outfit.
Camo windbreaker with black top and skinny jeans
To shape this stylish and minimalist outfit, you can simply wear a black t-shirt with black skinny jeans as the core of your outfit. Combine it with a camouflage windbreaker. Wear a pair of black suede heeled ankle boots with the shoes. Add a black leather handbag to the mix for a more elegant look.
Hooded camo windbreaker with black baggy jeans
To shape that boyish and stylish look, just wear a camouflage hood windbreaker and black boyfriend jeans. For the shoes, wear a pair of black and white low-top Converse to complete the cool look.
Hope you enjoyed the camo windbreaker outfit ideas that can make you look boyish and attractive at the same time. There are times when you want to look more ladylike and there are certainly times when you want to look casual and boyish.

It is no secret that PSA Peugeot Citroen is not in the best of shape today.
The rapid slump in Europe has taken its toll on the French carmaker and prompted it to defer some big-ticket investments. India was one of these and it was pretty significant since it would have marked a homecoming of sorts for PSA, which abruptly shut shop during its first stint here in the mid-1990s.
It is in this backdrop that a German magazine reported earlier this week on a possible alliance happening between PSA and Tata Motors.
The Indian company was quick to deny this the following day, terming the news ‘absolutely incorrect’.
PSA and Tatas had, over a decade ago, actually explored the possibility of working together to bring the Peugeot 307 to India.
The project was shelved because it was not found economically viable. PSA did not revive its India plans for many years and chose to focus only on Russia and China as part of its global aspirations.
Tata Motors, meanwhile, tied up with Fiat in a manufacturing/marketing joint venture before snapping up British brands, Jaguar Land Rover, for $2.5 billion in 2008.
Would it still make sense for PSA and Tata Motors to join hands now? The French company recently entered into an equity alliance with General Motors, largely intended to generate cost savings of at least $2 billion over the next five years.
Barely three weeks back, the duo announced its intent to work jointly on four vehicle projects comprising small and mid-size cars as well as a compact multipurpose van and SUV/crossover.
Reports are now doing the rounds that the GM-PSA alliance is running into rough weather; this has fuelled speculation that Tata Motors could step into the picture instead.
On the face of it, such a tie-up will help the Indian company access PSA’s diesel engine range.
Its presence would also allow the French automaker to finally get a foothold in India, slated to become the world’s sixth largest automobile market by 2020.
It is the ideal script, except that Tata Motors has a manufacturing alliance with Fiat, even though the two have called it quits on their joint retail model. Its acquisition of JLR has been the best piece of news for its global passenger car business, which will only get a fillip from the recent entry into China. Further, from PSA’s point of view, the immediate task on hand is to bring its European operations back on track. It has had to take some painful decisions lately, which included the closure of a plant in France.
There is little Tata Motors can do to salvage such a situation. It is also not likely that GM will bid adieu to the alliance in a hurry. Sure, things have not been working on the projected lines but global partners typically try and hang in there for a while till a viable solution is found.
For the moment, the top priority for PSA is survival. Critics say it has been way too slow on its global plans and has been content focusing on Europe. Now that the citadel is crumbling, there are not too many options left.
There has been talk of some kind of European consolidation happening with Fiat, PSA and Opel, the German arm of GM.
Clearly, PSA is in no position to contemplate new business prospects overseas unless it gets Europe in order first.

NIH Hosts Workshop to Examine Multiple Approaches to Understanding and Preventing Elder Abuse
In discussions and comments received as part of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA), researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders highlighted the lack of research focusing on elder abuse as a major barrier to creating evidence-based solutions and developing policies that promote elder justice. Despite growing awareness of elder abuse, there remain significant evidence gaps in detecting, preventing, and intervening in elder abuse.
As a follow up to the WHCOA, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) held a workshop on October 30 on “Multiple Approaches to Understanding and Preventing Elder Abuse and Mistreatment.” This workshop was a trans-NIH effort that brought together representatives from multiple Institutes and Centers within NIH, experts from other agencies in the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Department of Justice, and leading academics from the fields of elder abuse, child abuse, and intimate partner violence. The purpose of the meeting was to focus on the applications of lessons learned across fields, and to consider common challenges and opportunities in elder abuse, child abuse, intimate partner violence, and other related fields.
The agenda was jam-packed with substantive discussions about the scientific, structural, and practical challenges of studying elder abuse. Researchers raised important concerns about the lack of fundamental “basic science” knowledge about elder abuse that is critical to developing evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies. Familiar research designs, such as randomized controlled trials, are not always optimal for abuse prevention and intervention studies. Because of concerns for participant safety and confidentiality, it can be difficult to get approval to include victims of abuse in longitudinal studies especially if Institutional Review Boards have limited experience with research on abuse. Elder abuse research raises unique issues for recruiting, enrolling and retaining participants, in particular for people with reduced decisional capacity.
Four breakout sessions brought together diverse perspectives around key topics: health disparities and cultural dimensions of abuse, preventing mistreatment in familial environments, diminished cognitive and decisional capacity as risk factors, and the bioethics and law in elder abuse research.
Overall, participants concluded that more research, training, and research infrastructure is necessary to make significant progress in preventing abuse and developing evidence-based programs in the future. Findings from child abuse to intimate partner violence could help inform elder abuse research strategies and directions. For example, arrest of perpetrators may remove the immediate cause of abuse for a child or intimate partner, but fear of family disruption creates situations in which family members are reluctant to report perpetrators. Another example of a more nuanced understanding of abuse in younger adults that could help our understanding of elder abuse is the concept of polyvictimization—the cumulative burden of multiple types of abuse. Creative research design is necessary to ensure that those impacted by abuse are included in research while at the same time not further injured by the research process.
The event was a great forum for discussing the opportunities and challenges to moving the elder abuse research agenda forward, and it brought new voices to the conversation. I look forward to hearing more in the coming months.
More information about the workshop, links to relevant reports and websites, and a link to the archived videocast is available on the NIH website.


The Domaine de la Vougeraie, which has practiced a biodynamic approach to cultivation since 2001, is constantly working with respect for nature and the benefits it brings, both for wine and for the human race. And bees are symbolic of this biodiversity that is under threat. As such, the Domaine welcomed some prestigious new guests mid-June, with three colonies of Carniolian honey bees*. These pollinating honey creators will provide a beautiful contribution to biodiversity in the vines.
“The first few days have gone very well, and the bees are doing wonderfully,” says Julien Petitjean, beekeeper at the Château de Pierreux. Along with Jean-Claude and Michaël, two of the Domaine’s workers trained by Julien, he has created the optimum conditions for the new hives. From cleaning, to preparations to seeking out the best sites, nothing has been left to chance.
Each hive was delivered with five frames, worker bees, a fertilized queen, brood, and food stores. Provisions for the queen and her subjects will be regularly provided, with glucose syrup on offer until the end of autumn to make up for a low quantity of flowers. After which, they will be given candy through the winter.
Bees require constant monitoring. The hives will be inspected regularly from April to June to prevent the bees from swarming and the loss of some 30,000. The most important thing is that the queen lays from April to September to renew the colony. In August, a six-week treatment plan will be followed to combat the varroa mite. Then in winter, the beekeepers will keep a close eye on the temperature of the hives. Empty frames will be removed, and partitions added to preserve the ideal temperature and stop the bees hibernating too early or too late. It is reassuring that these bees, a Slovenian variety, are more resistant to disease and can survive even the harshest winters.
A honey harvest may not be the primary objective, but all this care and attention should ensure the production of some high-quality honey. There will be a series of harvests over the seasons: First from acacia, then lime blossom, followed by summer honey, and maybe a final crop in September or October. It’s almost impossible to estimate the quantity, but it could be as much as 20kg per hive. Despite all our care and attention, we cannot do anything about the weather. So, let us hope Mother Nature is kind, and the royal court is happy at the Domaine!
*These bees take their name from the historical region of the Duchy of Carniola, in modern day Slovenia, whence these insects hail.

World first kidney transplant using 3D printing performed in Northern Ireland20 February 2016
3D printing has been used for the first time in the world to support kidney transplant surgery between an adult donor and a child recipient, Lucy, a three-year-old girl from Northern Ireland.
Lucy suffered heart failure and developed supraventricular tachycardia – a condition that makes the heart beating irregularly faster than normal. As her kidney were deprived from oxygen, she would have had to undergo dialysis treatment her whole lifetime. In November 2015, she received transplantation at Great Ormond Street Hospital, with a kidney donated by her father.
3D printers from St Thomas and Guy’s hospitals were used to produce models of the donor kidney and Lucy’s abdomen to enable the surgeons assessing the feasibility of the transplant, rehearse and plan the highly complex operation. 3D printers replicate the body’s part and density through a model of liquid plastic, molded under ultraviolet light.
The operation was a success for Lucy, and his father has also fully recovered.

Arándanos: consumo per cápita aumentó 400% en 4 años en el Mercado Chino
The updated trade agreement serves as a symbol of positive momentum in trade relations with China and the potential the Chinese market holds for the U.S. highbush blueberry industry. More work remains to be done, including addressing the 75% tariff imposed on blueberries exported from the U.S.
“The NABC has been working diligently for many months to ensure this opportunity would open up for U.S. blueberry growers,” said Alicia Adler, vice president of NABC, who’s charged with overseeing the NABC’s market access efforts and the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council’s (USHBC) global programs. “This significant milestone could not have been achieved without close collaboration between the U.S. government agricultural negotiators, key industry stakeholders from all growing regions and a team of technical export advisers at Bryant Christie Inc.”
The Chinese market represents a significant opportunity for the U.S. highbush blueberry industry, as an increasing number of Chinese consumers prefer imported fruits due to their superior taste, nutrition and appearance.
Consumers also are demonstrating clear interest in blueberries specifically. From 2014 to 2018, the volume of per capita fresh blueberry consumption in China increased by more than 400%.
“USHBC is in a position to help U.S. growers sell more blueberries in China, which represents significant growth potential for the industry,” said David Arena, chair of the USHBC Export Committee and president of Frank Donio Inc. based in New Jersey. “Opening the Chinese market for fresh blueberries will help grow demand, ultimately supporting USHBC’s strategic goal of doubling exports by 2025, with a focus on high-opportunity markets in North and Southeast Asia.”
Key updates to the phase 1 trade agreement relevant to blueberries include:
- Fresh blueberries must be commercially produced from the states of California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington.
- Blueberries must come from packing houses registered and approved by USDA, and the registered packing houses must have a system to ensure all fruit can be traced back to the supplying orchards.
- Each packing house must retain a list of registered supplying orchards that can be made available at the request of the USDA or GACC, the agency in China that corresponds with the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).
- APHIS will supply the list of approved packing houses to GACC annually.

Vaccines for Adults: Think ahead and prevent disease
09/19/2016 10:39AM ● Published by Jennifer Gonzalez
By: Jennifer Serda
The debate over childhood vaccinations is a hot issue, but vaccines aren’t just for kids. As we get older, our immune system can get weaker. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends vaccines for all adults—and they’re not just talking about the flu shot! Here are several vaccines you should know about that could potentially protect you and your family.
We all know about the flu shot, but in addition to the influenza vaccine, the CDC recommends all adults get their Td vaccine every 10 years to protect against tetanus. They also recommend all adults get their Tdap to protect against whooping cough. Tdap is especially important to protect yourself from spreading the disease to younger members of your family. Infants have the greatest risk for contracting this serious disease.
While these three vaccines are recommended for all adults, other vaccines are based on lifestyle factors, like your age, job and health condition. For those 60 and over, the CDC recommends the shingles and pneumococcal vaccines. The shingles vaccine can protect the elderly from this painful rash that affects an estimated 1 million Americans every year. About half of them are 60 years or older! Meanwhile, the pneumococcal vaccine can protect the elderly from many types of illnesses, including ear infections and meningitis.
If you never contracted the measles, mumps, rubella or chickenpox as a child, the CDC strongly suggests getting vaccinated for them as an adult, unless your healthcare professional suggests otherwise. Chickenpox, as we know, is typically seen in children, but adults can contract this infection, too, and the symptoms tend to be even worse. The CDC recommends getting the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine until the age of 59 and chickenpox or varicella vaccine throughout life.
can learn more about recommended vaccines by visiting the Center for Disease Control website or speaking with your healthcare provider. This extra
step of precaution will help adults from getting and spreading diseases
to those we love.

Hanson Robotics’ female AI robot named Sophia turned world’s first machine artist to sell her Non-Fungible Token (NFT) digital paintings dubbed as ‘Sophia Instantiation’ at an auction on premier marketplace Nifty Gateway. Her art pieces, which were purchased using Ethereum blockchain exchange, were created in collaboration with the UK-based Italian art specialist Andrea Bonaceto, who sold Beeple’s Everyday at Christie’s for $69 million last week. NFTs, in the likeness of the cryptocurrency, constitute unique codes and can be stored in ledgers or digi wallets. AI robot Sophia’s auction of NFT art pieces marked the first breakthrough between a human and a robot trading.
Artist Bonaceto displayed AI humanoid Sophia’s work to the public on March 23 at 6:30 p.m. EDT at Nifty Gateway. It has the highest bidding for $118,888.00, nearly ten hours since it was put for auction. 31-year-old artist Bonaceto, who paints digitally on iPad, has a proven reputation as an NFT creator and dons artwork of some of the famous personalities such as electric car maker Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. According to her Instagram, she also creates acrylic portraitures that reflect hyperrealistic themes.
Through Computational Creativity, I collaborate with artists, AI developers, and engineers. Would you like to create an artwork with me?— Sophia the Robot (@RealSophiaRobot) March 22, 2021
â¡ #Drop #NiftyGateway March 23rd, 6.30pm ETâ¡ @hansonrobotics @andreabonac_art @niftygateway @ivgalleryla #NFT #robots #artist #cryptoart pic.twitter.com/TocLsqlHIl
Aiming to create something revolutionary, Bonaceto pitched an idea of auctioning humanoid AI robot Sophia’s NFT artworks to her developer David Hanson, sources of Newsweek revealed. To roboticist Hanson, the CEO of Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, the idea of the first human-robot collaboration appeared ‘fascinating’. Sophia drew inspiration from Bonaceto’s paintings and ran algorithms to create several pieces, using digital brushstrokes and whorls.
Sophia digitally created her own portrait using AI and did what the roboticist David Hanson describes as ‘an artistic revolution.’ “The experience of collaborating with Sophia and Hansen on the project at Nifty Gateway has been amazing. Grown so much as an artist since we started this project,” Bonaceto tweeted. Meanwhile, humanoid Sophia plans to “study the highest bidder’s face” who will purchase her work and will add “one last iteration” to her digital artwork.
.@andreabonac_art is an accomplished #contemporary artist that Sophia has been a fan of for a long time. In this collaborative project, Andrea created portraits of Sophia and her immediate family, these images were then processed by Sophia's Neural Networks.— Nifty Gateway (@niftygateway) March 23, 2021

And, you probably have one in YOUR house right now…it has been around for over a hundred years…
…it’s a mason jar! Yes, a simple mason jar!
If you don’t have these jars in your kitchen, we highly recommend getting some soon! They are, of course, great for canning, but they can be used for so many other things! Everything from mixing dressings to storing leftovers, and they are perfect for on-the-go salads and breakfasts, and even REAL food desserts!
Mason jars, as we all know, have been around for many years. When it all began, there were several variations, and in 1858, John Landis Mason patented the concept of the screw-on lid which is so popular today. He unfortunately never capitalized on his success because he assigned his patent rights to another company. But his invention helped spark the home-canning revolution and this is also why you may see “Mason” on many jars today. The most common brands of glass mason jars are Ball and Kerr. Be on the lookout for the cobalt blue ones - they may be worth a lot of money!
Here are some ideas on what you can do with these handy little jars:
Our favorite "go-to" dressing is a simple balsamic vinaigrette, which is just a combination of 2 Tbsp of olive oil and 1 Tbsp of balsamic vinegar - mix, shake and your homemade dressing is ready! And, when we are in the mood for a creamier dressing, we add 1 Tbsp of Dijon mustard. The Dijon adds great flavor and helps “emulsify” the oil and vinegar (preventing the oil and vinegar from separating, which they tend to do without an emulsifier). Even our kids enjoy it and can make this dressing - they will ask "2-1-1?" That’s 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard. You can read more about homemade dressings in our coaching tip "Friends Don't Let Friends Buy Bottled Salad Dressing!"
This is one of our favorite uses of mason jars!…especially when we have busy mornings where we need something to just grab and go. It is super-easy to put them together the night before, and then simply grab a spoon in the morning and you are out the door to start your day with a delicious breakfast in hand!
A couple favorites of Eat REAL America members are the Carrot Cake Overnight Oats and the Neapolitan Overnight Oats! Read more in our coaching tip "Success Does Not Happen Overnight, But Oatmeal Does!"
It is super-easy and all you need is vinegar, water, salt and sugar…and, of course, some mason jars and a refrigerator! It's a fantastic way to enjoy fresh in-season fruits and vegetables! Quick pickling is a little like marinating and uses vinegar to provide the acidity to cure the vegetables, creating amazing flavor and texture...no special canning equipment or processing required. It is as simple as adding your vegetables or fruits to the mason jars, and then add your choice of herbs and seasonings on top. Once your liquid is ready, pour the liquid into the jars and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Seal the jar with an air-tight lid, shake it to evenly distribute the liquid and seasonings and store the jars in the fridge! Read more in "Use This Simple Formula to Transform Your Veggies!"
Mason Jar Salads!
This is a great way to make on-the-go salads, like this delicious Mason Jar Chicken Pasta Salad! You can eat the salad from the jar, but we have found it much easier to grab a bowl (and of course, a fork), and then transfer the salad to the bowl before eating!
Since the dressing will typically go at the bottom of the jar, it is important to remember that whatever ingredient you put at the bottom, make it an ingredient that will stand up to your dressing and not get soggy — for example, chicken, turkey or chickpeas. Quart size jars works great and give you a good sized salad, and the wide mouth jars are much easier to work with!
Get creative - the combinations of ingredients are endless!
Mason Jar Omelette!
You heard right...Mason Jar Omelette!
Make your omelette mixture, pour it into several mason jars, bake it in the oven, and then you will have leftovers to grab, warm and go for your hectic mornings!
Make sure to use oven-safe jars.
Mason Jar Fruit Crisp!
Pint size mason jars also work great for fruit crisps. They are really easy to prepare and, again, you can mix it up with your favorite ingredients! And the taste - let's put it this way...it is worth buying a jar just to make this dessert! It is THAT good!
Again, make sure to use oven-safe jars.
A creative “homemade” idea that works great for friends, co-workers and teachers is to give homemade granola in a mason jar.
Add some ribbon and a festive tag or get really creative and paint the lid with chalkboard paint…and then write a special message!
What kind of lids should you use?
This is personal preference...some people prefer the plastic one-piece lids instead of the two-part metal rings and lids. Keep in mind, you can re-use the metal lids, except when using the jars for canning. When canning, you need to use new lids to get a good air-tight seal.
Recycle! Some plastic peanut butter lids will even fit mason jars!
Can you freeze mason jars?
We have heard stories about - and have personally experienced - mason jars shattering in the freezer. As we learned in science class, liquid expands when it is frozen. There are ways to safely store mason jars and their contents in the freezer.
Here are some tips:
- Use straight-sided mason jars if possible (instead of the jars that have tapered "shoulders").
- Leave 1" to 2" of space at the top of the jars (or below the "shoulders") to allow room for the liquid to expand.
- Completely cool your contents before freezing. You can even put them in the fridge overnight, and then transfer to the freezer the next day.
- When moving to the freezer, don't fully tighten the lid until the contents are frozen.
- To defrost your contents, do it slowly (in the fridge or in a bowl of water that you change out every 30 minutes or so).
Following these tips will increase your chances of a shatter-proof experience!
Even more great ways to use these handy little jars:
- Store pasta, beans, rice, coffee, tea or other dry ingredients
- Store soups, or divide leftovers and store them in the fridge or freezer
- Store your homemade chicken or vegetable broth
- Yogurt parfaits - layer yogurt, variety of berries or fruit, and top with granola
- Store your homemade pudding or whipped cream
- Snacks such as hummus or dips with raw veggies on top - you can even use snack cup containers on wide mouth jars for the dip!
- Salsa...such as the Simple Salsa Fresca
- Smoothies (some mason jars may even fit directly on the base of your blender)
We guarantee you will get way more than $1 of benefit out of one of these jars! Consider adding some mason jars to your kitchen - the possibilities are endless!
