Red Wine & Peanuts Help Prevent Memory Loss
Often we treat our favorite indulgences, a glass of wine or a handful of nuts, as a treat. However, recent scientific advances suggest that those of us who enjoy a luxurious glass of red wine or a handful of savory peanuts may be indulging more than our food and drink cravings. New studies conducted by Dr. Ashok Shetty, professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at Texas A&M University and the Director of Neurosciences at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, indicate that compounds found in red wine and peanuts may help slow our memory loss due to aging.
The red wine drinkers among us, and many others, are familiar with the compound reservatrol. Reservatrol has been the subject of much research and debate for it’s various health benefits. Reservatrol is an antioxidant commonly found in the grapes used to produce red wine, peanuts and some berries. Previous research and studies involving reservatrol indicate that this antioxidant is particularly beneficial when it comes to heart health. Dr. Shetty’s research reveals that the antioxidant reservatrol may have more significant health benefits, specifically where aging is concerned.
As we age, our spatial learning abilities, our cognitive function, and our ability to create new memories decrease. The same is also true for animals as they age. Dr. Shetty hypothesized that reservatrol would have a positive effect on memory, learning and mood due to the fact that reservatrol affects the hippocampus area of the brain. The hippocampus is the area in the brain responsible for much of our cognitive functioning. The study, published January 28th, used elderly rats, both a control group and a group that was given reservatrol. The control group of rats demonstrated that cognitive and spacial abilities held steady. However, these rats were not able to create new spacial memories and cognitive functioning decreased dramatically around months 22 through 25 of the study. By contrast, the rats that were given reservatrol showed an increase in their abilities to create new memories and an improvement in spacial learning abilities for the duration of the study. Additionally, Dr. Shetty noted that neurogenesis, the growth and development of neurons, nearly doubled among the rats given reservatrol. The rats given reservatrol also showed an improvement of blood flow throughout the body and a lower amount of inflammation in the hippocampus.
There are a number of neurodegenetrive diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, that have the potential to affect our quality of life as we age. The research conducted at Texas A&M University proves that there is hope in improving memory, mood and cognitive functioning for the elderly. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are chronic conditions that affect as many as one in six elderly individuals. This study gives hope that there is the opportunity to increase mood and cognitive ability, though there is no definitive evidence to show what the effect reservatrol would have on dementia in the long-run.
The benefits of reservatrol can be achieved with just one glass of red wine each day. Reservatrol continues to illustrate it’s ability to improve our health and well-being. Go ahead and indulge in a luxurious glass of red wine or a handful of peanuts and enjoy the tastes as well as all the potential health benefits.

Political pundits will analyze the April 2 Parliamentary Elections for weeks and months to come. The results, however, were not surprising. What are the programs and policies that need to be implemented to prepare the country for the next election cycle?
Today, citizens of Armenia will go to the polls to elect their new parliament. There have been several violent altercations and accusations of vote bribing and coercion over the course of the election campaign. EVN Report will be bringing you live updates of the electoral process.
How did political parties and blocs running for parliamentary elections utilize social media? Did they use targeted advertising or simply throw money away? Information security expert Samvel Martirosyan breaks it down and presents an interesting picture.
Political Scientist Yevgenya Paturyan considers the choices voters have ahead of the parliamentary elections, a mere three days away. She says that even though there may be a dearth of the perfect candidate, action is always better than inaction.
Yerevan municipal elections are scheduled for May 14. Approximately 35 percent of the country's electorate reside in the capital city, however, no one is talking about the importance and significance of these elections.
With the stroke of a pen on one of nine ballots, Armenians will be heading to the polls to elect the party, or bloc of parties, that will govern the country for the next four years and, indirectly, also the person who will become president until 2025.
Since 2014, Armenia has confronted a number of crippling domestic and external challenges. The major cause for the present situation is the absence of free and fair elections, writes Armen Grigoryan.
Armenia is situated in a volatile region with 80 percent of its borders sealed. This article by Vahram Ter-Matevosyan examines the foreign policy programs of the nine political parties and blocs running in the parliamentary elections.
EVN Report presents a brief summary of the April 2 parliamentary election campaign. In this primer, you can find out who the nine parties and political blocs running for office are, their campaign slogans and the top ten names on each list.

Having a beautiful lawn is something we all dream of.
When you see that lush, green grass out of your kitchen window, nothing makes you more proud.
The lawn is like an extension of your living room, friends, and family gather around in the summer for BBQs, children play all day long, and pets love to roam free in the outdoors.
However, if you have a dog, you might find an unfortunate side effect is dog urine killing grass.
Urine spots can cause spots on your lawn that look like burn marks, and this can ruin the appearance of what you’ve been working so hard on.
For this reason, you might be wondering how on earth you can get rid of these spots or prevent them from happening in the first place.
Well, we can tell you, this is possible!
With a few easy steps we have included in this article, you can keep your lawn beautiful and prevent urine spots from building up on your grass.
Let’s find out how.
Table of Contents
Causes Of Urine Spots
Myths surrounding dog urine and how it affects turfgrass have been spread amongst gardeners for years.
However, a lot of these myths are misinformed and untrue, which we will explore later in the article.
But what really causes those spots?
Well, it’s the urine essentially ‘burning’ the grass.
However, despite lawn experts referring to dog urine as ‘burning’ grass concerning its pH level, it’s actually down to something a lot simpler.
Dog urine has a lot of nitrogen in it.
Whilst this can be a good thing for your lawn a lot of the time, too much of a good thing can cause some bad and concentrated nitrogen can ‘burn’. This will then kill your grass, leading to the distinct appearance of burn marks on your grass.
This is why if you’re looking for nitrogen to apply to your grass, we recommend you stick to fertilizers as opposed to dog urine.
Urine spots usually start as relatively dark green patches, and this deep green color is usually the result of highly fertilized grass.
If your dog carries on urinating in one particular spot on the grass, you might end up with a dead patch of grass that is surrounded by a darker green ring.
This dead patch of grass is where the high levels of nitrogen have completely killed the grass and the darker green ring is where the urine is slightly less concentrated on the outside.
In this area, the grass is still growing ferociously as a result of nitrogen.
Dog urine also has high levels of salt and this can dry out the grass completely, so the plant becomes desiccated, and it eventually dies.
When this is the case, you will notice yellow and brown patches of dead grass spotted across your lawn.
With this, you might still notice a green ring around the spot and this is where the concentration of salts is a lot lower, and the nitrogen has maintained growth.
You might find if you have an adult male dog, you will have fewer spots to deal with. This is because adult male dogs tend not to urinate in a concentrated pool.
Instead, they like to wander all over your yard and use bursts of urine to mark their territory. However, if you have a puppy, a female dog, or a particularly old dog, you will likely have to deal with urine spots at some stage.
Although it can be annoying, you always need to remember these spots are treatable, and dogs are part of your family, so avoid getting angry at them.
Keep up a good relationship with your pet and work with them instead of against them to minimize urine spots.
It’s also helpful to remember and remind yourself that minor lawn damage repairs itself and often resolves on its own as the new growth of healthy grass emerges on your beautiful lawn.
It’s not always a big deal as you think if you spot one or two urine spots on your lawn. If your dog decides to frequently urinate in certain areas, this is typically when you need to start dealing with them on your own.
How to Deal with Urine Spots
When it comes to dealing with these urine spots, there are two main ways. You can either prevent or directly treat them.
If you choose prevention, you need to update cultural practices and your dog’s behavior.
However, if you choose treatment, treatments are very similar to recovering any other kind of damage to your lawn.
To prevent urine spots, you need to find out the root of the problem.
The cause of urine spots is always caused by a concentration of nitrogen and salts.
To avoid this causing damage, you need to disperse and dilute all of the nitrogen and salt. This is a lot easier than you think.
You will need to flush the area where your dog has just peed and this will help minimize the effects of the urine, by washing the harmful compounds away. In more extreme cases, you can even follow your dog around outside when they are going to the toilet.
Once your dog has finished, simply flush the spot with lots of water.
Other than this, you can also ensure your grass gets frequent watering, this will flush out any spots.
It is usually best to stick with deep watering on a much more spread-out watering schedule. However, if you are watering specifically to deal with urine spots, shallow watering much more often can help prevent the build-up of nitrogen and salt on your grass.
If you have a smaller dog, they might not produce enough urine to kill the grass. Instead, your lawn might develop some uneven patchwork of dark green dots.
If this is the case, you can attempt to blend in the spots by keeping the lawn well-fertilized. If you do this, you will find yourself with a deep green lawn and the spots will not show up on it.
Another prevention method is to train your dog to only go to the toilet in one spot on your lawn or in an area that is hidden from the main sight.
Various products can assist with this training which you can get at your local pet store.
For example, a lot of pet stores sell posts that have been impregnated with pheromones. These pheromones attract your dog and encourage them to pee on them.
You can also train them with basic training and begin by taking your dog on a leash to your preferred spot they should go to the bathroom.
If they do so successfully, you can then reward them with verbal praise or their favorite treat.
After a few weeks, you might find that your dog is now heading to that spot on its own and going to the toilet without being guided by a leash.
You could also train your pooch to relieve themselves on a part of your land with natural wood mulch, as this blends in well.
However, avoid using mulch made of cocoa bean hulls as this can be toxic to dogs if they investigate the mulch by smelling and tasting it.
Some pet stores even offer certain dietary supplements that help to change the nitrogen content of dog urine.
However, other prevention methods are preferred since there is no scientific evidence to back up how these products work.
Some of the supplements can also cause urinary system problems and similar dangerous issues for some pets such as calcium deposits. This is very common in younger dogs.
If you have already discovered urine spots on your lawn, don’t fret. It’s not too late to treat them and use prevention methods next time.
To deal with and treat existing urine spots, you are going to have to face the damage and repair the dead spots yourself. Dealing with dead spots on your lawn is pretty much the same process, despite what caused them.
The first step in repairing a dead spot is to remove the dead grass yourself. You are going to need to use a metal rake to do so and pull hard on the dead grass to remove it.
Once this has all been removed, you now need to look at the soil. Since the grass has been killed by too much nitrogen and salt, you should try to flush the area with plenty of water and this should help to clean the soil.
Following this, you have three options to repair the grass:
Fill in an empty spot by laying down new seeds for your grass.
Use the same seed as you have used for the rest of your lawn and follow the directions that came with the original seed for planting.
After you have laid down the seed, you need to water generously and keep off the particular part of the lawn until the grass has been established.
Place new sod in the dead patch of grass.
You need to make sure you are starting with healthy topsoil before laying the sod. Avoid the sod until it is well established.
This is a great option if the spot is quite small. You can simply wait for the grass to fill in the dead spot with new growth.
Bermuda grass and zoysia grass are known as creeping grasses and this means they are spread by stems above ground called stolons and underground stems called rhizomes.
Both of these types of grass can fill small spots quickly without too much intervention from you.
We hope by reading this article you have learned what causes urine spots on your lawn and have gained an idea of what they might look like and how to recognize them.
Remember, to prevent urine spots, you need to get to the root of the problem and disperse and dilute the salt and nitrogen.
We promise urine spots on your lawn are not the end of the world, and with a few quick fixes, your lawn will be back to that lush green color in no time.

The United Nations plan a Food Systems Summit - and now the Corona-Virus is dictating the agenda. The Chief Economist of the UN World Food Programme takes stock of the current situation: a conversation with Jan Rübel about pandemics, about the chromosomes of development - and about the conflicts that inhibit them.
African countries still face huge gender gaps in terms of access to work and capital. What are the consequences of Corona for women in Africa? Jan Rübel interviewed Léa Rouanet on lockdowns and gender-based violence. The economist works at the Africa Gender Innovation Lab of the World Bank.
Every year in October, the "Welthungerhilfe" aid organisation, with the Irish "Concern Worldwide" NGO, publishes the Global Hunger Index, a tool with which the hunger situation is recorded. What are the trends - and what needs to be done?
Shortly before ending his position as Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPR) Dr. Shenggen Fan talks about the reforms and new modes of operation needed to achieve global food security in the coming decade.
How much will it cost to sustainably end world hunger by 2030? This question was posed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) that commissioned two research teams with finding an answer. The results of the studies will be presented on October 13 in the run-up to World Food Day.
Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Podcast of the Federal Government
At the start of World Food Week around World Food Day on 16 October, Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed that the fight against global hunger will only be successful with international responsibility and solidarity (german only).
Over a period of two years, the Ceres2030 team spent researching answers to the questions of how much it will how much it will cost to realize SDG 2 and where that money should be spent most effectively. IISD Senior Advisor and Ceres2030 Co-director Carin Smaller about small farmers, machine learning and women empowerment.
The CGIAR agricultural research organization is systematically repositioning itself. We spoke with Juergen Voegele, Vice President for Sustainable Development at the World Bank, about progress to date - and discuss what needs to be done collectively to stop global hunger in ten years.
The first Climate Adaptation Summit put climate adaptation at the center of politics for the first time. The virtual meeting united global players with one goal: building resilience is just as important as climate protection itself. Around 15,000 participants discussed direct proposals.
110 speakers from 120 countries met virtually at the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) to discuss the challenges to global food supply. They asked the question: How can food systems support the health of people and the planet?
The Corona pandemic is hitting economies around the world very hard - but developments in African countries are quite diverse. There are different speeds, resiliences and vulnerabilities. What are the reasons for this? Apl. Prof. Jann Lay of the GIGA Institute provides answers.
International agricultural research is responding to new challenges: Their advisory group is undergoing a fundamental reform process and unites knowledge, partnerships and physical assets into OneCGIAR.
From the lab to the masses: Maria Andrade bred varieties of biofortified sweet potatoes which are now widely used all over the continent. She sets her hope on the transformation of African agriculture.

African inland fisheries are increasingly reliant on the capture of small fish species that are sundried and traded over long distances. They make an important contribution in alleviating “hidden hunger”: consumed whole, small fish are an important source of micronutrients. Only that, unfortunately, politicians haven’t yet realised this.
A contribution by Jes Weigelt and Alexander Müller
What is required to make food systems provide sufficient, healthy food while not harming the planet? How should food security be maintained given the threat posed by climate change? Our authors look at some aspects of tomorrow’s food systems against the backdrop of the corona crisis.
Freshwater deficits are affecting more and more people throughout the world. In order to counter this, our global food system will have to change, our author maintains. A case for more research on alternative crops and smart water solutions.
Lack of seasonal workers and virus explosion in slaughterhouses, rising vegetable prices, climate crisis – all this demonstrates: Our food system is highly productive and (at least for the rich inhabitants of planet earth) guarantees an unprecedented rich and steady food supply - but it is not resilient.
A contribution by Kerstin Weber and Brit Reichelt-Zolho (WWF)
Biodiversity and sustainable agriculture ensure the nutrition of whole societies. But there is more: These two factors also provide better protection against the outbreak of dangerous pandemics. Hence, the question of preserving ecosystems is becoming a global survival issue.
There is a clear global task: We need to feed nine billion people by 2050. We, the people of Earth, must produce more food and waste less. That is the top priority of the UN World Food Programme (WFP), too - the description of a challenge.
At the beginning of December 2018, AGRA's board of directors met in Berlin. The "Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa" panel discussed the next steps in their policy of modernizing agriculture. How to go on in the next ten years? One question - many answers from experts.
Double interview with Tony Rinaudo and Volker Schlöndorff
Tony Rinaudo uses conventional reforestation methods to plant millions and millions of trees – and Volker Schlöndorff is filming a cinema documentary about the Australian. The outcome so far: An educational film on behalf of the BMZ (Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development).
Joe DeVries is a breeder – and Vice President of AGRA (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa). What are the chances and risks of a ’green revolution‘ in Africa? A discourse between Jan Rübel and him about productivity, needs, and paternalism.
If there is a lack of fertile soil and rain, hunger breaks out quickly. Maria Smentek from the World Food Programme (WFP) explains how farmers and pastoralists can counter climate change with hydroponic-systems.
Urban gardening is becoming increasingly popular in northern metropoles. People who consider themselves part of a green movement are establishing productive gardens in the city, for example on rooftops or in vacant lots. In severely impoverished regions of the global South, urban agriculture is a component of the food strategy.
Supporting groups of smallholding women substantially contributes to strengthen rural operations economically. The organisation and associated group activities can help to reduce extreme poverty and improve the food situation.
Chancellor Merkel has begun an ambitious European political programme: Striving for compromise in budget negotiations, an orderly Brexit as well as an appropriate response to the corona crisis. Unfortunately, one of her positions that she previously held is nowhere to be found: Africa's prosperity is in the interest of Europe.
The majority of producers in developing countries are women. Although they contribute significantly to the food security of their families, they remain chronically disadvantaged in male-dominated agriculture in terms of access to land, credit, technology and education.
A contribution by Nadine Babatounde and Anne Floquet (MISEREOR)
To prevent malnutrition among young children and strengthen the role of women in their communities, Misereor, together with the local non-governmental organisation CEBEDES, is implementing a programme on integrated home gardens in Benin - a series of pictures.

Even though COVID-19 poses a threat to the health of humanity, the reaction to the pandemic must not cause more suffering than the disease itself. This is particularly relevant for poor developing countries, where the impact of the corona crisis on food security is even more severe!
In most African countries, the infection COVID-19 is likely to trigger a combined health and food crisis. This means: In order to cope with this unprecedented crisis, consistently aligning our policies to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is more important than ever, our author maintains.

The Then singing and Tinh musical instrument club in Muong Cang commune, Than Uyen district has been open 3 days a week for 17 years, helping to preserve and promote the culture of the local Thai ethnic people. Lo Van Chon, the head of the club, says the club now has 30 members and two art troupes, who are mostly middle-aged and elderly people.
“We meet on a regular basis because folk songs are part of our lives. We often compose new songs to the accompaniment of the Tinh musical instrument,” he said.
The Then singing and Tinh musical instrument club is just one of several activities helping to preserve the culture of the ethnic minority groups in Lai Chau province.
In Muong Cang commune which is considered the cultural cradle of the Black Thai people in northwestern Vietnam, people have preserved their traditional beliefs, art, architecture, festivals, ancestor worship, dances, songs, musical instruments, farm tools, and household utensils. Muong Cang recently adopted programs, plans, and regulations including regularly organizing cultural and art activities, sports, and folk games.
“Over the past 2 years, 13 art troupes and 2 clubs of Then singing have been operating regularly in our commune. Each school in the locality has set up a space to display local cultural items, and clubs for extra-curricular activities to preserve local culture,” said Nguyen Tu Cang, Chairman of the Muong Cang commune People’s Committee.
Than Uyen district has been working to restore, preserve, maintain and promote the culture of the Thai, Mong, Dao, and Kho Mu ethnic groups. So far, the district has established a Steering Committee to preserve the cultural identities of the 4 ethnic groups and 8 steering committees to implement a new cultural lifestyle.
“We have restored 4 festivals – 2 of the Black Thai people, 1 of the Khmu people, and 1 of the Mong people. We have also restored folk games and work tools, and created 4 cultural spaces to reenact traditional art and music performances,” said Le Thi Kim Ngan, Vice Chairwoman of Than Uyen district’s Party Committee.

Tran Manh Hung, Deputy Head of Lai Chau province’s Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, says the province has promulgated a resolution to encourage cultural preservation.
“This resolution is being implemented at all levels and in all sectors. We have focused on cultural tourism and community tourism development,” said Hung.
Lai Chau province has 5 national intangible cultural heritages: Xoe dance and the tug-of-war game of the Thai, the Tu Cai festival of the Dao, the Gau Tao festival of the Mong, and the brocade weaving of the Lu.

I must take a break from the house building and post the story of my Rosemary. Sixteen years ago my husband found a small house for sale by owner in an airpark in Aguila, AZ. At the time we were living in one of the the two best places in the world, Salida, CO. The other best place is where we are now living. Doug wanted to live with his airplane and he wanted to work in aviation and that was nearly impossible in Salida. And so we put our Salida house up for sale and moved to Eagle Roost Airpark, Aguila, AZ. There was only one truly redeeming quality about the house for me and that was the magnificent Rosemary growing in the back yard. I named her Mama Rosy and I nurtured her for 15 years. She in turn produced many little Rosy babies. Some of these I shared with friends. However, there were three which I grew in small pots and brought with me to MI having no idea if they would survive such an arduous journey. Mama Rosy meant more to me than just a simple plant; she was the plant I chose to work with for Susan Weed's Green Allies Herb class because I felt a special pull to this plant in particular and to all Rosemaries in general. My three Baby Rosies made the trip to MI alive but struggling ever so slightly. When we arrived in early April northern MI was still caught in the grip of winter. I covered my babies up at night and gave them sunshine, when it was shining, during the day. They survived and today there are lovely new and tender shoots growing from each of the three plants.
BTW - when we left AZ Big Mama Rosy had grown from a relatively small plant to approximately 10 feet long, 7 feet wide, and 5 feet high. She was (is?) magnificent. The man who bought our house is not a gardener and thus I worry about Big Mama.

Akram Khan Company – Outwitting the Devil Tickets
Keep me updated
We'll tell you as soon as tickets go on sale:
Stirring classical and contemporary, Akram Khan’s latest production, Outwitting the Devil, is an epic dance piece about ritual and remembering in the midst of our ever-changing planet.
Like Kaash, based on the pantheon of Hindu gods, and Until the Lions, re-imagining the experience of one of Mahabharata’s female protagonists, Outwitting the Devil similarly draws on ancient narrative, in this case the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh – one of the world’s oldest great works of literature.
In Outwitting the Devil, the king Gilgamesh is punished by the gods for destroying a legendary cedar forest and killing its guardian; his friend Enkidu, a wild man he has tamed, is taken from him. Confronted with the truth and sorrow of human mortality, Gilgamesh passes into history, to become a fragment among the broken remnants of human culture and memory.
To weave the narrative and design of this new piece, Khan’s close collaborators: dramaturg Ruth Little, composer Vincenzo Lamagna, rehearsal director Mavin Khoo, costume designer Kimie Nakano, and writer Jordan Tannahill are joined by lighting designer Aideen Malone and visual designer Tom Scutt, and an ensemble of six international dance artists.
Age restrictionChildren under 5 will not be admitted.
Running time1hr 20min (no interval)
Performance dates23 - 27 November 2021
From Tuesday 14 December until further notice, upon arrival at Sadler’s Wells and the Peacock Theatre, as well as your e-tickets, all members of your party over the age of 11 must demonstrate their COVID-19 status to gain entry in ONE of the following ways:
Full Vaccination: Status provided by COVID Pass via NHS app or NHS website, Letter via NHS website or calling 119, or a Vaccine card and photo ID.

Nigerian singer, Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, widely recognised as Bella Shmurda, has recently responded to the tragic passing of his fellow artiste, Mohbad, which occurred last Tuesday.
In his heartfelt post, he insisted that justice must prevail, whether through legal or other means.
Mohbad’s Death: What We Know So Far
Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, was a rising star in the Nigerian music industry.
He was known for his hit songs such as Ponmo, Feel Good, and KPK (Ko Por Ke) with Rexxie.
Mohbad was signed under Naira Marley’s Marlian Records but left the label in 2022 amid some controversies.
According to some reports, Mohbad died from an ear infection after receiving an injection at a hospital.
However, there are also rumours that he was attacked by some members of a rival confraternity over a dispute involving Naira Marley and Sam Larry, a music executive.
His death has shocked and saddened many fans, celebrities, and colleagues who have paid tribute to him on social media.
Bella Shmurda’s Outrage and Call for Action
Bella Shmurda expressed his grief and outrage on his X handle, addressing the untimely death of his close friend, Mohbad.
He called for the apprehension of not only Mohbad’s alleged assailants but also individuals like Naira Marley and Sam Larry, emphasising the importance of police involvement in the matter.
Mr. Shmurda stressed the urgency of the situation, urging authorities to take swift action to ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.
He wrote, “In the past few days have tried my best not to carry phone nd type anything but Mohbad spirit won’t let me rest knowing I’m the only one make his spirit calm by making those of them who make him live in fear nd almost with nothing to feed on never also get rest nd he don start yes I mean wahaLa just wan start like this I NO GO GREE nd I mean it Samlarry nd whole marlians music must be arrested make all of us Dey police nd if the Nigerian police too weak as body to fish this people out we do it street, legal or illegal any which way like this war don start
If they all ran out the country which shows that they’re actually guilty of whatever crime were said to have committed by them, then it means they’re guilty nd they all know they should never come back nd they should ban from entering the country for life.”
In another tweet, he further emphasised that the specific confraternity someone belonged to was inconsequential.
He fervently called for an immediate and thorough investigation to identify and bring the culprits to justice.
Pounds for pounds, flesh for flesh
Whether u be aiye oo,eiye oo,or sealords whatever it may be this boy sang for make us happy, jubilate, think, rejoice supported even while is in pains nd living in fear now it’s our time to do our part for him I want everyone with one voice let get him justice all hands on deck #justice for Mohbad fish dem out legal or illegal”, he wrote.
His statements have generated extensive reactions from both individuals and comments expressing support for Bella Shurmda’s statement.
@OGBdeyforyou commented, “Illegal ti wa okay, leave legal for GOD”.
@_communicator_ commented, “Naira Marley, Sam Lerry and others deIt with Mohbad illegally.. but, the Iegally always take too long and most times, no justice. This is saddening”.
@BolanleCole also commented, “I respect your boldness Bella, you are a friend indeed. We are with you on this. Justice must be served”.

Composites Fair JEC World 2021 postponed to March 2022
France — The continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic unfolding throughout 2021 has forced the JEC World team to reexamine the possibility of holding the next edition of JEC World this year. The international composites event will take place from March 8 to 10, 2022, at Paris Nord Villepinte and online.
Amidst growing concern among exhibitors and partners surrounding the critical situation of the Covid-19 restrictive measures and other limitations in place in many countries, the JEC World team has decided to work on a new timeline to hold the next edition of the event in the best conditions in 2022. In a survey, 89 % of the exhibitors favored holding the next session from March 8 to 10, 2022.
“The coronavirus pandemic situation has taken the central stage, so in light of the current situation, it would not be possible for us to satisfy our customers’ requirements for such an international trade fair as JEC World in June. We truly regret having to make this difficult decision once again. However, we are all committed, starting today, to deliver the best JEC World experience to our clients in 2022.” says Eric Pierrejean, CEO of JEC Group. “While waiting for welcoming the international composites community back to Paris in March 2022, JEC Group team is preparing various online Rendez-Vous in June enabling the entire composites community to discover trends and innovations, and to connect″, he added.


Zakim – A Multimodal Software System for Large-Scale Teleconferencing
This paper describes Zakim, a multimodal teleconference system used at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The main requirement that differentiates Zakim from other resarch projects was that the system had to be robust and be universally accessible, as W3C teleconferences run around the clock and are accessed by hundreds of people weekly. The Internet Relay Chat was chosen as the control protocol for the telephone bridge, allowing for easy access to a majority participants. The second part of the paper describes how this system has dramatically improved the way teleconferences are run.

Amazing cruise in Komodo 9 nights (Bali - Labuan Bajo)
Day 1 Bali, Arrival & Boarding
Our staff will pick up at the airport and bring you to Aurora for immediate boarding. As soon as all the guests are on board, we will lift the anchor and sail to our first destination : Island of Moyo.
Day 2 Moyo Island, Sumbawa
In the morning we will drop the anchor in front of the small Moyo island.
Moyo has great macro life and with some luck, we will find the legendary wonderpus octopus, during the 2 dives plan here.
After lunch, Aurora we will sail to Sangeang Island.
Day 3 Sangeang island
The ship will arrive early in the morning at one of the most beautiful islands of our trip. Depending on the conditions, we will dive either the South or North of Sangeang Island.
Sangeang is a 2000 meter high active volcano that sits northwest of the Komodo National Park. The numerous black sand beaches and bays that surround the island provide us with multiple dive sites. Ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, fluorescent black coral bushes and frogfish hide along the reefs and walls that border the black sand slopes.
The night dives here are not to be missed: frogfish, ghost pipefish, boxer crabs and an unbelievable amount of nudibranchs.
Days 4 to 5 Gili Lawah Laut & Gili Lawah Darat
Gili Lawa Laut ,“Island Facing the Sea”, is home to two of the best pinnacles in all of Indonesia, "Crystal Rock" and "Castle Rock". Huge schools of jacks, giant trevally, white tip and grey reef sharks, barracudas, dolphins and a whole host of smaller reef fish that float amongst the fields of staghorn coral. A challenging site, but certainly worth a couple of dives!
Discover the famous dive known as "El Toro", kind of a pot, where the current attracts, sharks, giant trevallies, tuna and sometimes Mantas. Not to be missed!
Go for an excursion on land, or on sea and meet the permanent family of dolphins in this area. The night dive named "Flamenco Show" with the Spanish dancer and lots of macro.
Lighthouse Reef: a nice dive site with hard corals and lots of bushes of black coral.
Day 6 North Rinca /Loh Buaya Trekking
Stop near the "Second Ranger Station Loh Buaya", next to "Wainilu Island", the paradise of macro. Many different and rare kinds of nudibranchs, ghost pipefish and other surprises.
After lunch, we will begin our magnificent walk on Rinca Island to see the infamous Komodo dragons and we will be back in the water by noon.
Day 7 South Komodo / South Rinca
Manta alley as its name suggest is home of one of the best dives with Manta rays in Indonesia. Located in the southern part of Komodo Island, we will submerge 2 times to try our luck to meet this gentle animals
Horseshoe Bay is shaped like its namesake, with Rinca Island forming the outer arc and Nusa Kode forming the inner one. The colder plankton-rich waters of the Indian Ocean make this area a bit colder than the northern regions of the Park. The sea-life gets everyone into the water.
Cannibal Rock, a small submarine ridge. The reef-top is littered with feather stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, anemones and all kinds of corals. The deeper rocks provide hiding places for nudibranchs, frogfish and even rhinopias.
Torpedo Alley, named after the electrified rays, hosts also ghost pipefish and other extraordinary creatures.
Yellow Wall: soft corals, sea sponges and large sea fans that hide several types of pygmy seahorses. Sea apples, fire urchins, Coleman shrimps and zebra crabs are particularly easy to spot on this site.
Day 8 Padar
Unique species of nudibranchs. The coral pillars, which sit in a strange “W” shaped configuration, are literally alive with colour. Holothurians cover almost every bare surface. Lionfish and Napoleons populate the tops of the pillars. Subject to strong currents and an almost permanent surge, this can be a challenging yet beautiful dive.
A quick hike up the gentle slopes of Padar provides an outstanding view of both Komodo and Rinca.
Three Sisters / Tiga Dara: rocks nicely covered with corals and just teeming with life. You will dive sheltered from the current and finish on the peaks that rise up to 8 meters.
Day 9 Komodo Channel
Tatawa Besar, one of the most colourful drift dives in all of Komodo. Look at the horizon while flying along endless coral gardens with sandy slopes. The Tatawa coastline alternates rocky landscapes and mangroves. Eagle rays and turtles are typical guests along this rich coral slope. The coastline is long enough so that the drift can last up to 40 minutes and cover almost 2 kilometres!
Batu Bolong: plenty of sharks and excellent visibility. This dive is also called “Current City”, and can only be dived when the conditions are fine.
Tatawa Besar: this drift is a Komodo classic. The site is covered with orange soft corals, schooling batfish and a beautiful shallow hard coral garden.
Tatawa Kecil: a spectacular drop-off. Impressive coral reef, turtles, tuna, giant trevallies, sweet lips, groupers and countless fish you will take home as a great memory of your adventure.
Takat Makassar, if currents allow: look out for manta rays at the cleaning station. You can go relatively close to observe them.
Takat Makassar West (Komodo Channel) alternatively is a great night dive.
Day 10 Labuan Bajo
After a nice breakfast on board, our Aurora crew will organize, according to your flight schedules, your transfer to the airport of Labuan Bajo.
Unfortunately our trip will arrive at an end and we have to say goodbye but we hope to see you again on board.

Album: Monorails and Satellites, Vol. 1
Sun Ra, a piano man not of this world. “The Changing Wind,” like most of Monorails and Satellites, sounds like honky-tonk at some Ziggy salon. With a piano that comes from Saturn, Sun Ra plays aggressively, but with care. He knows he can slay the piano, and he knows that you know that he can slay. Yet he holds back, choosing emotion over flash. Wobbly, yet oddly comforting.

SINGAPORE (Reuters Breakingviews) - Singapore is tapping the brakes on Southeast Asia’s ride-hailing mega-merger. Antitrust regulators won’t halt U.S. giant Uber’s deal with $6 billion local rival Grab, but have limited data-sharing and driver exclusivity contracts, at least while they review. That’s a sign of potholes ahead.
This region of 650 million people, many of them keen smartphone users, makes an alluring market. But competing for paper-thin margins took its toll on Uber in terms of cash and manager hours burned. Last month it drew a line, and agreed to hand over its Southeast Asian operations to Grab in exchange for a 27.5 percent stake.
This is one of the highest profile transactions to land on the desk of the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore in years. So far its stance looks robust. That matters because the CCCS sets the tone not just in Singapore but for the wider region as well, at a time when major tech players here are expanding into food, payments and more.
Interim measures released on Friday are the closest indication yet of what the final decision might look like. They scrap exclusivity deals with new drivers and fleets, bar Grab from taking historic trip data from Uber and require pricing policies to remain unchanged. It’s easy to see why: earlier this month, a Grab outage in Singapore sent Uber fares surging.
The restrictions are not crippling. There is already a delicate balance between consumers and drivers on price, for example. Helpfully for Grab, the antitrust regulator appears to think taxis, which account for 785,000 trips a day in Singapore, are part of the market. That’s more generous than considering only ride-hailing, which Grab and Uber dominate.
But if Singapore, a wealthy, albeit small, market of 5.6 million people, has questions, larger markets may ask more. Concerns evident in the interim decision – how to protect the gains that have accrued to consumers from ride-hailing - are tricky to address. Price limits are a blunt tool, and monitoring policy is tough. More steps may be necessary.
Regulators can hardly compel Uber to return. They need to figure out how to attract new entrants like Indonesian rival Go-Jek while preserving competitive tension. Barriers to entry here may be low in theory, but less so in practice, and scale is everything - ask Uber.

Nearly 350 people, including 75 young adults, attended the Archdiocese of Louisville’s third Black Catholic Congress Dec. 13 at the Flaget Center, 1935 Lewiston Drive.
The event was sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Ministry (OMM) and aimed to highlight “the new evangelization from an Africentric perspective while addressing the spiritual and human needs of the African diaspora,” an announcement from the OMM said.
The all-day event featured a number of workshops on topics such as spirituality, evangelization, ministering with youth and families, leadership development and vocations. There was also separate programming designed for youth.
Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz celebrated Mass for the congress participants and told those gathered at the congress they were called to attend for a reason.
“Christ needs those who are at this congress. We need African-American Catholics who do not boast of themselves but of the Lord,” he said in an interview following the congress.
Archbishop Kurtz noted that it has been 50 years since the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964. A lot has been accomplished in the half of a century since, he said, but there is still more work to do.
He also spoke of the new Catholic Elementary School Plan, which was announced last November. The plan aims to make Catholic school education more accessible to families in need.
Representatives of parishes in West Louisville, where there are no Catholic schools, met with leaders from the archdiocese and the Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) to give advice and input as the plan was being formed, M. Annette Mandley-Turner, executive director of the OMM, said in an interview following the congress.
Archdiocesan and CEF leaders plan to host a follow-up meeting in the West End later this month to discuss details of the plan’s financial options with parents who are interested in sending their children to Catholic schools, Turner said.
The archbishop also noted that the African-American community within the archdiocese has a long-standing — and important — tradition of calling forth capable leaders.
In order to prepare for the future of the black Catholic church, he said, leaders within the black community need to continue to call forth new individuals to take up leadership roles.
Turner said that based on the feedback she’s received, congress attendees felt a renewed sense of purpose.
“They left with a sense of ‘I still have gifts to share with the church,’ ” she said.
Other speakers included Redemptorist Father Maurice J. Nutt; Father John T. Judie; Dr. Kathlene Dorsey Bello, a liturgist and scholar in black spirituality; and Dr. Tyrone Powers, an author.
Several local delegates to the 2012 National Black Catholic Congress XI also spoke.

Study Shows Police Crime is Rampant — 3 Cops Arrested a Day, Over 1,100 Every Year
A new study tracking criminal activity perpetrated by police found, on average, three law enforcement officers are arrested each day — around 1,100 cops every year — and, more pointedly, this is not the case of a few rotten apples.
“The most common crimes were simple assault, drunken driving and aggravated assault, and significant numbers of sex crimes were also found. About 72 percent of officers charged are convicted, more than 40 percent of the crimes are committed on duty, and nearly 95 percent of the officers charged are men,” the Washington Post summarized.
Researchers from Bowling Green State University received funding from the Department of Justice for the study, aptly titled “Police Integrity Lost: A Study of Law Enforcement Officers Arrested.”

Transposition of the Great Arteries
Ventricular Septal Defect
Small to moderate
Small to moderate
Blood going from a high-pressured left ventricle through a defect in the septum to the lower-pressured right ventricle creates turbulence, usually throughout systole.
General. Intense generalized cyanosis
Location. No characteristic murmur. If a murmur is present, it may reflect an associated defect such as VSD or patent ductus arteriosus.
Radiation. Depends on associated abnormalities
Qitality. Depends on associated abnormalities
Location. Lower left sternal border Radiation. Little
Intensity. Variable, only partially determined by the size of the shunt. Small shunts with a high pressure gradient may have very loud murmurs. Large defects with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance may have no murmur. Grade II-IV/VI with a thrill if Grade IV/VI or higher.
Single loud second sound of the anterior aortic valve
Frequent rapid development of congestive heart failure
Frequent associated defects as described at the left
With large shunts, there may be a low-pitched middiastolic murmur of relative mitral stenosis at the apex.
As pulmonary artery pressure increases, the pulmonic component of the second sounds at the base increases in intensity. When pulmonary artery pressure equals aortic pressure, there may be no murmur, and P2 will be very loud.
In low-volume shunts, growth is normal.
Left-to-right shunt through an opening in the atrial septum, possible at various levels
Qitality. Pansystolic, usually harsh, may obscure Si and S2 if loud enough
Location. Upper left sternal border and to left
Radiation. Sometimes to the back
Intensity. Varies depending on size of the shunt, usually Grade II-III/VL
Qitality. A rather hollow, sometimes machinerylike murmur that is continuous throughout the cardiac cycle, although occasionally almost inaudible in late diastole, uninterrupted by the heart sounds, louder in systole
Location. Upper left sternal border
Radiation. To the back
Intensity. Variable, usually Grade II-III/VI
Qitality. Ejection but without the harsh quality
In larger shunts, congestive heart failure may occur by 6-8 weeks; poor weight gain.
Associated defects are frequent.
Full to bounding pulses
Noticed at birth in the premature infant who may have bounding pulses, a hyperdynamic precordium, and an atypical murmur
Noticed later in the full-term infant as pulmonary vascular resistance falls
May develop congestive heart failure at 4 to 6 weeks iflarge shunt
Poor weight gain related to size of shunt
Pulmonary hypertension affects murmur as above.
Widely split second sounds throughout all phases of respiration, normal intensity
Usually not heard until after age of 1 year
Gradual decrease in weight gain as shunt increases
Decreased exercise tolerance, subtle, not dramatic
Congestive heart failure is rare.

ROCKETS 129, TIMBERWOLVES 120
James Harden had 34 points and 12 assists, and Houston held off a fourth-quarter rally to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves for the Rockets’ 26th win in 28 games.
The West’s top team led by as many as 25 before the Timberwolves, holding on for dear life in a tightening playoff race, pulled within five in the fourth. The loss dropped the Wolves into the eighth playoff spot after they started the day in a three-way tie for fifth. Harden had 11 points in the final 6:34, including a 3-pointer with 58 seconds left that effectively secured the win.
Jeff Teague led Minnesota with 23 points, Andrew Wiggins had 21, and Karl-Anthony Towns and Jamal Crawford each added 20. The Wolves got a burst of energy after a fourth-quarter scuffle between Gorgui Dieng, Paul and Gerald Green. Green was ejected for coming to Paul’s defense after a frustrated Dieng pushed him down after a foul.
