We wanted our website to be cleaner, easier to navigate, more relevant and useful, and more accessible from mobile devices. Out new website will have information about us an our programs (of course) but will also contain a growing depository of resources for residents and community leaders, up to date information about Omaha public engagement opportunities, and an assistance request form you can fill out if there is anthing you need help with in your work. This will help us consolidate and track the assistance requests we receive and make sure nothing gets lost in our emails or voice mails. Each wee, our staff will review requests and either plan to provide assistance or work to find someone who can. We’ll also continue posting our weekly communications and upcoming events on the site. If you have any ideas for information that would be helpful to have and should be added to our website, please feel free to send them to firstname.lastname@example.org.


The competitivity between AMD and Nvidia and their GPUs will never perish, and as new GPUs come through, the tensions are most likely to grow. Fans have already started going at each GPU’s superiority, trying to prove which one’s better. With the most recent GPU released by AMD 6800XT, benchmarks done by individuals have started arriving. Apparently, some of them hold quite shocking results.
Third-party benchmarks substantially impact the audience seeking answers, as their integrity is usually valued higher than what the product label holds. Hardware Unboxed plunged deep and made a solid compilation of video games running on the RX 6800 XT. It also compared the performance with the competition. Judging by the video below, it seems like AMD is back in business, and the RX 6800 XT somewhat ruins the fun for the RTX 3080.
The performance benchmark is concluded in multiple AAA video games. What’s more exciting is that the card even outperforms the RTX 3090 in some video games. Check out the video below:


Radio Peligrosa S2E6
Long time Peligrosa friend and ethnomusicologist Juan Camilo Agudelo along with Discos Peligrosa alum Kiko Villamizar join Orión in this episode of Radio Peligrosa. Our discussion is part of Peligrosa’s 11th annual Mexican Independence Day Celebration and is a project supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
Junca and I (Orión) have been having these discussions for over ten years (usually backstage at a Peligrosa party) and it’s really awesome to finally have him share some of his studies and interests with us in this (new to us) podcast format. What I always found interesting in our conversations was that we were able to discuss quandaries, studies and observations in such a way that I always left each of our conversations with greater interest in the subject matter.
Either way enjoy this special edition of Radio Peligrosa here or where ever you listen to podcasts.


Oley Valley's Brandi Vallely is scoring almost 16 points per game for the unbeaten Lynx.
A month into the season, Wilson and Oley Valley are the only undefeated teams in the Berks Girls Basketball League.
Still, what really catches the eye is the way in which these two championship contenders are winning.
Wilson (9-0) has outscored its opponents by an average of 26 points. Oley Valley (11-0), meanwhile, is scoring 41 more points per game than its opponents.
The squads are talented and, quite frankly, a handful for other teams to face.
The Bulldogs have reached this point in the Wilson way - namely, with a suffocating defense that's giving up just 3.3 points in the first quarter and 11.2 in the first half.
Opponents average about 32 points against Wilson, but most of them have come in the second half after the Bulldogs have gained an almost insurmountable lead.
Wilson reached the PIAA Class AAAA quarterfinals last season, one that included some memorable defensive efforts. The 2010-11 Bulldogs shut out Manheim Township in the second half on their way to a 31-13 victory in the District 3-AAAA playoffs. They advanced to the PIAA's Elite Eight with a 26-21 win against Upper Dublin.
What's striking, though, is Wilson succeeded last year even with a team that scored 41.2 points per contest. Now the Bulldogs have a more potent offense, averaging 57.9. Hilary Yoh (12.7 ppg) and Carley Brew (11.7) lead the way, but the lineup has depth as well.
They're heading into a pivotal week in Berks I, with a Tuesday game at Gov. Mifflin and a Friday home date against Reading High.
Then there's Oley, the team known for perimeter shooting and a balanced offense. The top four scorers - Brandi Vallely, Jasmen Clark, Breanne Lamey and Miranda Krott - are averaging between 11.3 and 15.7 points.
But these Lynx have been stingy on defense, too. In fact, Oley leads the league in both scoring (69.6 points) and defense (28.5 ppg).
And, when Nicole Vallely (6.8 ppg) returned after a year at Central Catholic, she gave the Lynx an extra spark on both ends of the court. It's been invaluable for a team that already returned four starters and its top reserve from the 2011 District 3-AAA championship squad.
"We're a lot better than last year," Clark said. "It's like one big family, and all of us getting along makes us play even better."
The Lynx are unlikely to find many close games during their league schedule, but they've done some impressive non-league work already. They beat Gov. Mifflin by 23 and followed up with tournament victories over Quad-A Central Dauphin and perennial Triple-A power Allentown Central Catholic.
In what has to be a rare occurrence, Berks Catholic coach Bob Birmingham hit two major milestones on the same night.
When the Saints beat Northern Lehigh 46-44 in their Dec. 9 opener, it was the first victory in program history. Birmingham also gained his 400th win as a head coach.
Birmingham, of course, spent the previous 22 seasons coaching at Holy Name. He had 399 victories after the Blue Jays beat Biglerville in the 2011 District 3-AA playoffs. But Holy Name lost its last two games, and Birmingham carried 399 into his new job.
The coach's total stands at 405 and could climb considerably higher by the end of the season. Berks Catholic is 6-4 overall and 3-0 in Berks IV.
The season is young, but two teams are noteworthy for what they've done so far.
Fleetwood won seven games all last season; the Tigers are 7-3 now.
Two wins stand out, at least in terms of the Berks II standings. Fleetwood beat Conrad Weiser 46-41 in December and then topped Muhlenberg 34-32 Tuesday. The Tigers raced to a 14-2 first-quarter lead in that game and then held off the Muhls' late rally.
The Tigers are tied with Daniel Boone for the division lead at 2-1 following a 53-35 loss Thursday in Birdsboro.
"It's a fantastic group," Fleetwood coach Matt Kellett said. "I can't say enough about them. I love watching them play. We're learning, improving our skills.
"(Against Boone), we didn't show it as much. But, for the last six or so months, that's what they've been doing."
Fleetwood has five players averaging between 6.1 and 8.8 points.
Antietam's winning more, too.
The Mounts and first-year coach Corey Steele are 7-4, which means something considering Antietam had just five wins in each of its two previous seasons. Mackenzie Adame's scoring 10 points per game.

Probe into Manipur video case transferred to CBI, Centre tells SC
The top court, on July 20, took note of the incident and said the use of women as instruments for perpetrating violence was "simply unacceptable in a constitutional democracy"
The Centre on Thursday informed the Supreme Court that it has transferred to the CBI the probe into a case related to two women being paraded naked in strife-torn Manipur, saying the government has "zero tolerance towards any crimes against women". The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), in an affidavit filed through its Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla, also urged the top court to transfer the trial outside Manipur in the case for conclusion of the trial in a time-bound manner. Seven persons have been arrested in the case so far. The details of the sexual assault on two women came out in the open last week through the leak of a video of the incident.
The top court, on July 20, took note of the incident and said it was "deeply disturbed" by the video and the use of women as instruments for perpetrating violence was "simply unacceptable in a constitutional democracy".
A bench headed by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud had directed the Centre and the Manipur government to take immediate remedial, rehabilitative and preventive steps and apprise it of the action taken.
Filing its response, the Centre said, "The Government of Manipur vide letter dated 26.07.2023 has recommended to Secretary, DOP&T for entrusting the case to CBI for further investigation, which has been duly recommended to Secretary, DOP&T by MHA vide letter dated 27.07.2023. The investigation shall, thus, be transferred to the CBI." The affidavit said the central government believed that the investigation should be completed at the earliest and the trial be also conducted in a time-bound manner "which must take place outside Manipur".
"The central government, therefore, makes a specific request that the entire case, including trial of the offence in question, be ordered to be transferred by this court to any state outside the state of Manipur.
"The power to transfer the case/trial outside any state is only with this court and, therefore, the central government is making this request to this court to pass such an order with a further direction to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of the filing of charge sheet by the CBI," it said.
It said the Manipur government has informed that seven main accused were arrested and remain in police custody for further examination.
Several police teams have been formed at various locations to arrest identified culprits and an additional Superintendent of Police (SP)-rank officer has been entrusted to investigate the case under the supervision of other senior officials, it said.
"The approach of the central government is of zero tolerance towards any crimes against women. The central government considers the offences like the present one to be too heinous which deserve to be taken not only with the seriousness it deserves but justice should be seen to be done so that it has a deterrent effect throughout the nation with respect to crimes against women," it said.
This is one of the reasons why the Centre, with the consent of the state government, has taken a decision to entrust the investigation to an independent investigating agency, that is the CBI, the affidavit said.
As remedial measures, the MHA secretary said the Manipur government has formed "district psychological support teams for providing mental health intervention at various relief camps".
"To prevent repetition of such incidents, reporting of all such cases to the Director General of Police (DGP) by the police station in-charge of the jurisdiction has been made mandatory," it said.
One senior police officer of the SP rank will monitor these investigations under the direct supervision of the DGP, the affidavit said.
A suitable reward for reporting such incidents and for providing information leading to the arrest of the absconding culprits will also be given, it said.
"An all-women team of one senior special (psychiatrist), one specialist (psychiatry) and one psychologist from the district hospital in Churachandpur was deputed to assist the victims," it said.
The central government will also provide the services of experts from its medical institutions as per requirement and legal aid has also been offered to the victims through the District Legal Services Authority, it said.
The bench will hear pleas related to the ethnic violence in Manipur on July 28.
Tension mounted in the hills of Manipur after a May 4 video surfaced last week that showed two women from one of the warring communities being paraded naked by a few men from the other side.
The video was doing the rounds on the eve of a planned protest march announced by the Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum to highlight their plight.
At least 150 people have been killed and several hundred injured since ethnic violence broke out in the state on May 3 when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the majority Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status.

text: Microscale thermophoresis (MST) is a new method that enables the quantitative analysis of molecular interactions in solution at the microliter scale. The technique is based on the thermophoresis of molecules, which provides information about molecule size, charge, and hydration shell. Since at least one of these parameters is typically affected upon binding, the method can be used for the analysis of each kind of biomolecular interaction or modification of proteins or DNA. Quantitative binding parameters are obtained by using a serial dilution of the binding substrate. This section provides a detailed protocol describing the analysis of DNA-protein interactions, using the AT-hook peptides as a model system that bind to short double-stranded DNA.

MGC Pharmaceuticals announced this week that it has now secured ‘binding commitments’ for US$7.9m in investment, which the company says will be enough to fund its business plan over the next 12-months.
In late September, Business of Cannabis reported that MGC was at a ‘critical financial juncture’, and was eyeing a number of strategies including a restructuring plan, share consolidation and heavily discounted share issue to provide it with enough runway to continue.
On November 01, the company announced that it has now received commitments from ‘sophisticated and professional investors’ to purchase 31m fully paid ordinary shares at a price of$0.255 per share.
This represents the company’s largest single investment to date, and is understood to have come entirely from Israel and the US, representing a shift away from its previous financial bases in the UK and Australia.
Alongside this, MGC received approval for its planned 1000:1 share consolidation, due to be completed today (November 02, 2023).
This will see its 4.4bn shares in circulation reduced to 4.4m. However, following the placement of the 31m new shares, set to be finalised by November 07, this will increase to 35.4m.
In a note to investors, MGC suggested that initially only 3m shares will be admitted by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority’s Official List to trade on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, seeing the remaining 32m admitted to the Australian Stock Exchange.
“These remaining ordinary shares are anticipated to be admitted to the Financial Conduct Authority’s Official List and to trading on the Main Market of London Stock Exchange plc in due course and in accordance with the applicable regulatory timeframe under the FCA Listing Rules”.
MGC says it plans to spend $5m of its new investment funding clinical trials for its two leading compounds, CannEpil and CimetrA, alongside funding submissions to have the drugs approved in the US. The remaining money will be spent on marketing ($1.2m) and working capital expenses ($1.3m).
Its LSE-listed stablemate Hellenic Dynamics also announced similar plans over the past week, seeing its share price dip by over 40%.
On October 26, 2023, just weeks after announcing that it had now commenced cultivation at its facility in Greece, Hellenic informed investors that it had received a US$3m mezzanine loan facility ‘allowing the company to move forward with its expansion plans’.
Alongside securing the loan, Hellenic similarly announced plans to enact a 100:1 share consolidation, subject to shareholder approval, as part of a wider capital reorganisation, as well as proposing the adoption of new articles of association.
Its loan was provided by RiverFort Global Opportunities on a 36-month term at an interest rate of 15%, which will see $450k advanced immediately, and a further $300k available during the next 150 days.
To receive this second tranche of funding, Hellenic must complete the share consolidation and either book £250k in product sales, or provide proof that it has received further grants which ‘result in aggregate net receivable of no less than £250k’.
“Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the Company will have the ability to request further drawdowns up to a maximum total additional amount of US$2.25 million. The Company will pay interest only on the drawn down funds”.
Danish medical cannabis manufacturer Stenocare announced on Monday that it is now ready to begin selling its products in the German market, in what it described as a ‘milestone for the company’.
In June, Stenocare reported that its ‘Extrakt’ cannabis oil, which contains a balanced mix of 10mg/ml of THC and CBD, was approved for sale by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM).
This product will reportedly be eligible for reimbursement by insurance companies in Germany, giving much broader access to treatment for the country’s hundreds of thousands of medical cannabis patients.
The first shipment has reportedly been sent this week and is set to be distributed by its German partner ADREXPharma.
According to Stenocare the 10-10 oil product category is the most prescribed in Germany for medical treatment, and while it has stipulated that it is yet to learn the specific dynamics of the German market, it says this represents a ‘door opener to an attractive market’.
CEO of Stenocare, Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg said: “We have prepared for our German entry for a long time. Now we are ready to ship the first medical cannabis oil products to German patients with our local partner. This is a huge milestone for the company.
“Germany has grown significantly since the legalisation in 2017, and it feels like jumping onto a train in full motion. We are humbled by its size and momentum, but we have a solid strategy to help us onboard and to enjoy the ride.”

It feels like fall lasted about a week. People in the Chicago area woke up to temperatures in the 20s and low 30s Wednesday morning, which feels more like winter.
"It's not much to worry about right now. But I know it's going to be real cold soon," one commuter said at the Jefferson park CTA stop.
Commuters should be sure to bundle up, dressing in light layers, with gloves and a hat to stay warm. If they aren't necessary later in the day, at least people had them for the chilly morning.
The cold weather can be extremely dangerous. Officials said 194 people have died from exposure to cold temperatures in Illinois since 1995.
Also, don't forget about pets when the temperatures drop. If it's too cold for people, it's probably too cold for them. Pet owners should keep their animals.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of what's to come over the next several months. Soon people will be dealing with snow and ice. But today is not that day!
CLICK HERE for the latest 7-day outlook from the ABC7 Weather Team:


Let’s start with a quiz: say you have a roof that measures 1700 square feet (average for the US) and your area has a rainstorm that yields half an inch, how much water can you potentially collect with a home rainwater harvesting system?
The answer is about 425 gallons: multiply 1700 sq. ft. by 0.5 inches and the conversion factor* of 0.62 and a collection factor* of about 81%. (Well-designed and implemented collection systems achieve a collection factor of 75% to 90%.) Storing all of this water would require eight 55-gallon barrels. Imagine all of this good water going to waste!
Rainfall Collected (gal) = Catchment Area (roof size)(square feet) × Rainfall (inches) × Conversion Factor (0.62) × Collection Factor (75% to 90%)
*Conversion factor is a constant used to convert square footage of a surface and inches of rainfall into a number of gallons.
*Collection factor is a measurement of the efficiency of the system expressed as a percentage; the angle of the roof slope and any leaks in the system are contributors.
In the last newsletter, we looked at Laundry to Landscape (L2L) systems and programs that Bay Area water providers offer for helping the homeowner to set up such systems for irrigation; this time, we’ll look at simple, gravity-fed rainwater harvesting systems, also intended for irrigation.
The fundamental concept of a rainwater harvesting system:
Here we see a difference between a L2L system and a rainwater collection system: L2L systems aren’t intended to store water (maximum of 24 hours); in contrast, rainwater harvesting systems are intended to store water indefinitely when following the recommendations of the manufacturer of the storage tank.
A rainwater harvesting system has a storage tank that’s waterproof, unlike most wells, and is usually referred to as a cistern or rain barrel, if not simply a water tank. Tanks under 55 gallons are usually called rain barrels; larger tanks (100 to thousands of gallons) are often called cisterns, whether they’re above or below ground.
Like an L2L system, we’ll consider the water in a rainwater harvesting system to be non-potable without further treatment.
Size your storage tank appropriately for the application of your rainwater harvesting system and for your area’s average rainfall. (You can use this rainwater availability map.) Usually, the lower your average rainfall, the larger your rain barrel or cistern needs to be. The tank should include an access port for maintenance and repairs, a vent to prevent the creation of a vacuum, and an overflow mechanism that allows at least as much outflow as inflow for your system.
The tank also must be enclosed and the vents and other openings screened with mesh of 1/16-inch or finer to keep out insects, rodents, birds, and amphibians. It should be either completely opaque or a dark color to inhibit photosynthesis and hence algae growth.
Because you’re designing a gravity-fed system without pumps, the inflow must release into the top of the tank. Keep in mind that a layer of sludge will build up at the bottom of the tank in the long term, and that sludge can be churned through the water during a rainstorm. The extent of this churn depends on the design of your system. A good analogy is pouring beer from a tap: letting the beer fall directly to the bottom of the glass produces the most agitation and therefore the most foam; pouring down the side of the glass yields less foam. Likewise, directing the water down the side of the tank slows its fall and thus produces less churn of the sludge. Because this is a non-potable system, this is probably a good thing, since the sludge may help fertilize plants, but the design is ultimately up to you.
The tank should feature a spigot for a hose. The spigot can be aligned flush with the bottom of the tank to allow sludge to be distributed gradually; a raised spigot increases maintenance, since it allows more sludge buildup on the bottom of the vessel.
A variety of rain barrels and cisterns, including “slimline” tanks designed to fit through a doorway easily, are available online from a wide selection of vendors.
Other components, such as a power supply, devices for water treatment, automatic system controls, flow meters, and backflow prevention are ones to be aware of for advanced systems, but are beyond the scope of this article.
Twice a year: Clean your gutters as usual. Clean debris from the mesh filters. Inspect the inside of your collection tank for cracks and algae, and clean any buildup of sludge.
After every significant rainfall: If your system has a first flush diverter, empty and clean it out.
Follow manufacturers’ recommendations for cleaning your tank as often as recommended. Often you can use a solution of vinegar and water for cleaning, or add a drop or two of chlorine bleach.


- The FDA’s Patient Engagement Advisory Committee, organized under the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (“CDRH”), held a public meeting on October 6, 2021, to discuss issues surrounding the communication of medical device recalls to patients. The Committee focused on patient perspectives in the recall process and how to revamp both the content and method of recall communications.
- The Committee will likely make recommendations to the CDRH on how to update patient recall communications, which may include the imposition of additional obligations on device manufacturers or additional involvement by the FDA in the recall process. Direct-to-consumer communications and increased use of Unique Device Identification in recall notices received significant attention throughout the meeting.
What do medical devices have in common with cars? As the FDA, patient advocacy groups, and industry struggle with how best to communicate device recalls to patients, the vehicle recall process has been raised as a potential model. On October 6, 2021, the FDA’s Patient Engagement Advisory Committee (“PEAC”) held a virtual public meeting to discuss the medical device recall process. The meeting featured patient roundtables as well as discussions with patient advocates, doctors, former FDA employees, and industry representatives, focusing on the challenges of communicating recalls to patients, including both the content and method of communications, and possible solutions to improve the process.
Background on Medical Device Recalls.
Under federal regulations, medical device recalls include “corrections” and “removals.” A correction recall involves fixing, adjusting or relabeling the device onsite while a removal recall involves removing the device for inspection, repair, adjustment, or destruction offsite. 21 C.F.R. § 806.2(d), (j). Although the FDA can ask a device manufacturer to initiate a recall, medical device recalls are voluntary and almost always initiated by manufacturers after learning about an issue, often through post-market surveillance and adverse-event reporting. The manufacturer develops a recall strategy and communicates the recall to the public. 21 C.F.R. § 7.42(a)(1). Generally, manufacturers notify their immediate customers—the distributor, hospital, or doctor—who in turn notify the relevant patients. The manufacturer must, however, report to the FDA any correction or removal that was initiated “[t]o reduce a risk to health posed by the device” or “[t]o remedy a violation of the [FDCA] caused by the device which may present a risk to health.” 21 C.F.R. § 806.10(a).
The FDA’s role is to monitor the manufacturer’s recall communications and procedures, which includes classification of the recall and may include providing further communications to patients. After analyzing the health concerns, the FDA classifies each recall as follows:
- Category I, where a device has a reasonable chance of causing serious health problems;
- Category II, the most common type, where a device may cause temporary health problems or has a slight chance of causing more serious health problems; or
- Category III, where a device is unlikely to cause any health problems.
21 C.F.R. § 7.41(b). Although manufacturers are the primary source for recall communications, the FDA communicates many recalls by reposting company press releases on its website and through social media, Safety Communications, or Letters to Healthcare Providers. FDA is especially likely to communicate a recall itself if, among other things, the recall is particularly urgent. The FDA also lists all recalls in its Medical Device Recalls database and Enforcement Report and summarizes the most serious recalls in its Yearly List of Medical Device Recalls.
Content of Medical Device Recall Communications.
A focus of the meeting was ensuring that recall communications are clear and that patients know whether they are impacted by a recall and how. Patients expressed frustration with the use of industry jargon. For example, recalls often refer to a patient experiencing an “adverse event” rather than a “symptom” or similar term that would be easier for a layperson to understand. Even the use of the term “recall” can be confusing to patients in actions that merely involve corrections.
Another topic of discussion focused on providing notices that clearly communicate information that patients need, such as how they personally may be impacted by the recall and whether and how they need to take action. To address this, some Committee members suggested that recall notices include (1) options for corrective actions or alternative treatments, (2) information as to who would bear the costs of those actions, and (3) instructions for patients whose implanting physician is no longer practicing.
Methods of Medical Device Recall Communications.
Several different concerns were raised regarding existing methods of patient communications. Participants noted the importance for both the FDA and industry to consider communication barriers experienced by demographics that likely use recalled products, including language barriers and spotty internet connections in rural communities.
One of the biggest challenges with recall communications is ensuring that affected patients know whether they have been implanted with the device in the first place, a responsibility that generally falls on the implanting physician. Another consideration is that doctors might choose not to inform patients about recalls because, for example, they would not recommend removing or fixing the implant.
Meeting participants focused on two proposed methods of enhancing device recall communications: (1) implementation of direct-to-consumer recall notices from manufacturers or FDA, similar to those used in the vehicle context, rather than relying on physicians to communicate device recalls, and (2) use of a Unique Device Identification System.
Direct-to-consumer notices pose numerous difficulties in the medical device area. First, direct-to-consumer notices require the FDA or manufacturers to learn which specific patients used the recalled devices, information that they often lack due to privacy concerns not present in the vehicle arena. Getting that information may also raise logistical problems because doctors may not clearly record which specific device was used in each patient. Unlike state vehicle registration records, there is no public, comprehensive database of medical-device patients. Second, direct-to-consumer notices increase the costs of the recall process. Third, direct-to-consumer communication may not be as effective as communications directly from patients’ trusted doctors, who roundtable patients at the meeting indicated would be vital to their decision as to how to respond to a recall notice. Indeed, direct notices might even undermine patients’ relationships with their implanting doctors or cause undue concern. Moreover, even with direct-to-consumer notices, patients would need to consult a doctor for advice about whether to repair, remove, or replace the device.
One Committee member suggested that the FDA invest more heavily in physician associations’ registries of patients who have medical devices. Another member suggested that doctors should include implanted devices in medical records along with patients’ medication lists, ensuring that the information is not lost. And another member alternatively advocated that FDA use data-driven “personas”—representative patient examples—to create communications targeted to patient demographics. The FDA indicated that it had already begun to develop techniques to deal with certain types of communications barriers, including the use of personas.
Unique Device Identification System
Both the Committee and participants gave substantial attention to the FDA’s Unique Device Identification (“UDI”) System, which could be used to align device recalls with vehicle recalls while still operating within the current provider-focused model. The UDI System was introduced in 2013 and requires manufacturers to use device and product identifiers (or “UDI-DIs” and “UDI-PIs”) issued by FDA-accredited agencies to label their products and/or packaging, like vehicle identification numbers used by car manufacturers. See 21 C.F.R. §§ 801.20, 801.45. Provider-participants discussed the role UDIs play in their recall procedures, enabling them to identify which patients have been implanted with an affected device and whether any affected devices remain in their inventory. Participants recommended increased and more prominent use of UDIs by manufacturers and the FDA in recall notices and databases so that healthcare providers can identify affected patients and inventory more quickly. Even with industry participation, however, a major impediment to the use of UDIs is incentivizing electronic-medical-record vendors to include UDI fields in records.
Conclusions & How Dechert Can Assist.
Although the Committee appears intent on making recommendations to the FDA regarding patient recall communications, it is unclear what those recommendations will be. It seems likely that they will involve increased or changed responsibilities for manufacturers, which will be important to anticipate and track. Indeed, several Committee members probed one of the only industry representatives at the meeting about specific proactive steps it had taken to communicate device information directly to patients. Some participants suggested that the FDA should withhold initial device approval from manufacturers without an effective plan for communicating recalls to patients. Notwithstanding the different issues involved in medical device recalls, those in medical device industry will likely be called upon to evaluate the procedures they use to create and transmit recall communications.
Dechert will continue to monitor the Committee’s activity in this area so that it can help clients anticipate and consider options, as well as provide advice on changes to manufacturers’ recall communication obligations once implemented. Dechert is well positioned to provide assistance in these areas, drawing on its experience in varied aspects of recalls and related investigations and litigation across different industries and jurisdictions.

“There’s even talk that an ideological civil war is being waged in America. And as moral relativism enjoys greater national acceptance, Christians, and their worldview are treated with increasing intolerance.
The elimination of prayer and the Bible from state schools was only the beginning. Now Christians themselves are being targeted for the free exercise of their faith in the public square… Even terminology associated with Christian teaching is being changed or removed. For example, ‘Merry Christmas’ in changed to ‘Happy Holidays.’ In short, Christianity’s influence is slowly being purged from America’s national conscience.
Simultaneously, Christians are not having an impact on culture and those in it, choosing instead to remain content and safe within their own churches and Christian circles” (Gospel Reset by Ken Ham, p.17).

One of our team members, Rebecca, had the chance to road trip across North America for a few weeks this summer: Anchorage, AK to Greenville, SC to be exact. She documented her experiences and the people she met, and she was gracious enough to let us share that with you. Here is what she had to say about her 6,000 mile trip.
I grew up exploring the East Coast, but I’d have to agree that “west coast is the best coast.” The beauty that spans from Anchorage, AK down the west coast of North America is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The friends that graciously let me join them on their road trip were already planning to drive home after their seasonal work. I took time off work, bought a one-way to Anchorage, and drove 6,000 miles home.
There is nothing glamorous about life on the road, especially when you’re the only female accompanied by four males, you’re camping every night, and the majority of your meals are ramen. But, from witnessing the beauty of the whimsical Washington rainforest, to the awe-inspiring grandeur of Yosemite and vast beauty of the New Mexican desert, I know I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

A RECENT survey carried out by the Bank of Scotland International has placed the number of Brits claiming pensions in Spain at 75'000.
Spain follows closely behind Ireland, the USA, Canada and Australia where it is estimated that 245'000 British people are claiming pensions. According to the Department for Work and Pensions, one million Britons receive their pensions abroad. It is also expected that more than 3.3 million British Pensioners will join the silver flight by 2050, if current trends continue.
Spain also comes in fifth place when British pensioners were asked where they would most like to retire to abroad. Over one in ten responded that they would most like to live in New Zealand (11%), followed by Australia (7%) and Canada and France (6%) and then Spain (5%).
Just under one third of pensioners have considered moving abroad the age least likely to consider moving abroad compared with 45% of 25 to 44 year-olds and 49% of 45 to 54 year-olds. Similar results are found when the number of Britons wanting to live overseas in Spain are considered. Almost two thirds of people (65%) who would most like to live in Spain were under the age of 55 with just 22% over the age of 65 years. Although the numbers of over-65s relocating to the country continue to increase, it appears that buying property in Spain is no longer only a luxury afforded to the older generation, according to the Banco Halifax Hispania.
Ian Smith, head of European Operations at Halifax, said: It has long been assumed that only retirees are buying property in Spain, but this is far from the case, as it is also a popular location amongst younger age groups. Pensioners who are moving abroad might want to consider that receiving their state pension within EU countries such as France and Spain will continue to see their pension increase in line with inflation. However, this is not the case for those people who retire to countries such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand. In all cases, non-UK residents will have their pension income taxed in the country in which the person lives.

On white linen.
came out so great.
This linen which was white when I started, was soaked in soda ash over night, wrung out and then layered with viburnum leaves and wrapped with hemp super tight around a copper pipe. I steamed it in an aluminum pot outside for four hours or so.
After it cooled, I unwrapped it, rinsed it by hand, ironed it and and just smiled. Beautiful!!!
It's raining today - but I don't care. I'm grabbing my hiking books, putting on my raincoat and heading out into the woods. There is so much more beauty to be captured!

Sometimes, there’s nothing more cathartic than taking out the garbage – even for your brain.
Neuroscientists at University of Rochester Medical Center have discovered a previously unrecognized system that drains waste from the brain. Dubbed the “glymphatic system” due to its similarities with the lymphatic system, but instead managed by brain cells known as glial cells, this new-found system brings hope for many brain conditions, including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injuries, which are all attributed in some way to waste protein build up on the brain.
Here’s how it works – the highly organized system acts as a series of pipes, piggybacking off of the brain’s blood vessels to drain away waste products. Think of it as if the brain has two big garbage cans; the first one collecting waste through a gradual trickle, the second one under much more pressure, pushing large volumes daily to carry waste away more forcefully.
That’s a lot going on in our brains on a daily basis – so how were we unaware of all of this until now? According to scientists, the system only works when it’s intact and operating in a living brain, which had previously been extremely difficult. To study the living, whole brain, the team at U of R used a technology known as two-photon microscopy, which allows scientists to look at the flow of blood and other substances in the brain of living animals – in this case, mice.
This is not the first discovery to stem from this research at U of R. Back in the spring, a similar study found that parts of the brain that were not cleaning properly could be to blame for ADHD. This is all great news, though. Once a definitive biological cause has been pinned down with certainty, then medicines can be created to treat the problem.
See? Your mom wasn’t kidding when she told you it’s important to clean!

The quality of rhythm is intrinsic to the study of both comics and picturebooks. However, the focus of theorists and practitioners carries a different emphasis for each narrative form, visual rhythm being dominant where the comic is concerned, while analysis of picturebooks focuses on the dynamic rhythm of text and image working in concert. I suggest that this divergence is in part a reflection of a key difference between the two forms of visual narrative, for a comic is made with the private, silent reader in mind, whereas a picturebook anticipates a collective, vocal reading. Yet picturebooks and comics also share substantial common ground, the combination of conventions from both forms suggesting further possibilities for storytelling. This article offers a study through practice of the potential to create effective new rhythms for comic/picturebook crossovers in my own work.

Jacques Schwarz-Bart (Guadeloupe) will be at the Lyon Opéra (France) from January 15 to 18, 2014, where he will present a series of concerts and the repertoire of his new Jazz Racine Haiti project.
For opening night, Schwarz-Bart will play in duo with clarinetist Denis Colin (January 15, 12:30pm). The next day (January 16, 8:00pm), he will perform with pianist Éric Legnini, whose work has evolved in the past several years as an afro-beat project.
On January 17 (12:30pm), Schwarz-Bart will first play solo, before unveiling the evening repertoire of Jazz Racine Haïti. The evening performance will include Moonlight Benjamin (vocals), Claude Saturn (Vaudou percussion), Alex Tassel (bugle), Gregory Privat (piano), Reggie Washington (bass), and Sonny Troupé (drums) (January 17, 8:30pm).
Finally, he will close the event with a trio performance, inviting the New York guitar prodigy Nir Felder. For the occasion, Schwarz-Bart has invited the equally phenomenal drummer Arnaud Dolmen (January 18, 8:30pm).

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — The National Movement to Defend the Indonesian Council of Ulama’s Fatwa (GNPF MUI) has seen the police is not focused in handling the case of alleged religious blasphemy by Jakarta governor-inactive Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok).
At first, the police has said Ahok was not intended to insult Alquran surah Al Maidah verse 51 and ulamas who teach the verse. “And now, we heard the police want to trace sources of fund for the November 4th peaceful acts,” Treasurer GNPF MUI, M Luthfie Hakim, said to Republika.co.id on Wednesday (11/9).
Luthfie said such action could erode public trust in the government. Therefore, he urged the police to be focused and fair in processing Ahok’s case.
According to Luthfie, the police and government did not have to worry about rally in Jakarta. They should be worried if the acts has spread to all over the cities in Indonesia. “If all region in Indonesia hold simultaneous rally, I assume even if the police forces is tripled, they would not be able to handle it,” he remarked.
In harmony with the GNPF MUI statement, Din Syamsuddin as the chairman of Advisory Boards Indonesian Council of Ulama reminded the government, especially the law enforcement bodies, not to understate the religious blasphemy case. MUI has given its religious statement which is stronger than fatwa regarding Ahok’s case. “Ahok has insulted Islam and the Quran,” he stressed when opening the Boards’ meeting in MUI Building on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Al Washliyah chairman Yusnar Yusuf said Islamic organizations have tried to cool down the tension among the people. In return, he asked the government to process Ahok’s case seriously. “The person who insulted the Quran should be prosecuted fairly,” he said in a joint press conference with 17 Islamic organizations after a meeting with President Jokowi in State Palace in Jakarta, Wednesday night.
Previously, the House of Representatives Commission III planned to form supervisory team to oversee law enforcement on the case of November 4th riot. “We want to ensure no single citizen is harmed, criminalized, or dubbed black sheep to cover the guilty,” Commission III member Sufmi Dasco Ahmad on Monday (11/7)

After a week off, the ScreenCrush ScreenCrunch Cereal Of The Week has returned.
Since the last edition of ScreenCrunch, there’s been a lot of ‘Star Wars’ news! So, in celebration of the newly announced cast of ‘Star Wars: Episode VII,’ let’s take a look at C-3POs Star Wars: Episode II Cereal.
Not sold on the rumored 'Star Wars: Episode 7' title, 'The Ancient Fear'? It's okay, you're not the only one; even director J.J. Abrams doesn't seem too excited to slap such a moniker on his first 'Star Wars' film (though, this is the guy who made a film called 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' so it certainly could be worse).
Ever since George Lucas sold 'Star Wars' to Disney a year and a half ago, there's been word of sequels and spinoffs in the works. But the production of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' took longer to launch than expected, and so the effort to create those standalone films was put on the back burner. Now that 'Episode 7' is days away from shooting, Disney is beating the drum again, and have announced they'll be at least three new spinoffs coming before 2024.
Last week, at least a partial cast was revealed for 'Star Wars: Episode 7'. Almost immediately, speculation began on who the new actors would be playing. Will John Boyega be a young Jedi? Will Adam Driver be a Sith Lord? Will Daisy Ridley (who is strongly rumored to be the daughter of Han and Leia) be a Jedi, too?
The 'Star Wars: Episode 7' casting hasn't even been completed, with roles both major and supporting still left to be announced, so it seems a bit premature to already have the new 'Star Wars' title, but has it leaked online in advance of an official announcement?
The 'Star Wars' films made George Lucas a millionaire, but it was the toys that made him a billionaire. People have been buying 'Star Wars' toys for nearly 40 years now and the merchandising has seemingly never slowed down, with both kids and adult collectors devouring every new release. Hasbro has revealed a look at some future 'Star Wars' items and fans of Yoda and Jabba the Hutt are going to be very, very happy.
Since Lucasfilm unveiled the cast of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' last week as they commenced with the first table read -- how do we put this bluntly? -- we've pretty much been taking anything we can get from the film. While Sunday's Star Wars Day was in full swing (and May the 4th still be with you always), Lucasfilm unveiled our first look at Peter Mayhew back in costume as Chewbacca.
We've got even more 'Star Wars' goodies for you! Director J.J. Abrams is getting in on the action today with a very special "video selfie" with screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, wishing fans a happy 'Star Wars' day from the set of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' in London, and he seems to be teasing some additional casting.
The ‘Star Wars: Episode 7’ cast was announced this week, and the line-up contains exciting names like Adam Driver, John Boyega, Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, and the legendary Max Von Sydow, further cementing (or in some cases, finally rousing) our interest in J.J. Abrams’ new installment. But, there was something curious among the list of newcomers -- there was only one female on the roster: Daisy Ridley. Out of the seven names announced, only one was female, which doesn’t bode well for gender equality in a galaxy that should be far, far away from such seemingly petty concepts.
Just the other day, the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' cast was announced with one surprising name we hadn't heard rumored: mo-cap specialist Andy Serkis. The 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Lord of the Rings' actor will presumably be playing a new CGI 'Star Wars' character in the film, but before he starts on 'Episode 7' he'll be working on the other biggest movie of 2015: 'The Avengers 2'.

When you signed on to cat parenthood, you likely knew you’d have to deal with waste management, like cleaning litter boxes (or scooping poop if your kitty is an outdoor one). Feeding and providing a cat with plenty of water are also expected basics of having a cat. However, cats are full of surprises, from wake-up calls for pets (aren’t felines anti-social?) to a Bah-humbug relationship with holiday trees.
An unwelcome surprise of kitty parenting? Cleaning up vomit. To be frank, it’s gross. However, seeing that your cat threw up is likely also concerning to you. When people throw up, they’re often sick — can the same be said for cats? If you’re wondering, “Why is my cat throwing up?” your first call should be to a vet. Here’s why.
Broadly, cats who throw up are either experiencing “chronic vomiting” or “acute vomiting.”
Cats who vomit chronically do so monthly and potentially daily. The vomiting usually only happens once or twice during the day in question—a call to a vet for an investigation into why is necessary. We’ve delved deeper into why later, but your cat could have a disease or GI upset. Moreover, chronic vomiting could trigger dehydration or malnourishment.
Acute vomiting occurs when a cat who doesn’t usually vomit starts throwing up. Now, all cats will likely vomit once in their lives, and a random episode of throwing up doesn’t necessarily mean you need to call a vet. However, if a cat who doesn’t typically throw up vomits more than three times in two to three days, call your pet’s doctor. Further, you should call a vet ASAP if even one episode of vomiting is accompanied by signs of weakness, lethargy, lameness, and other signs of discomfort.
The answer to this question requires a diagnosis from a vet. However, cats throw up for various reasons, ranging from allergies to cancer. These reasons are common culprits for triggering an up-chuck episode in a cat:
- Ingesting something toxic. Foods (like chocolate and garlic), plants (including the lilies that make for popular host gifts on Easter), and other household substances are toxic to cats. Cats may vomit as a way of eliminating the toxin. The ASPCA’s Poison Control Hotline (888-426-4435) can walk you through the following steps if your vet’s office is closed.
- Food allergy. Your cat may be allergic to their typical kibble and wet food diet. Special foods are available to cats who have this issue.
- GI issues. Toxins and food allergies can cause GI upset. However, other causes include ulcers, constipation, and even cancer.
- Infections. Like humans, cats are prone to infections and may experience vomiting as a side effect. Infections can be viral or bacterial and might include salmonella and giardia.
- Parasites. Even indoor cats can get parasites. You may (accidentally) drag one in on a shoe, or a dog might pick one up on a walk by mistake. Hookworm and tapeworm invasions can lead to a cat throwing up.
- Organ-related diseases. Throwing up could be a flag that a cat is suffering from kidney or liver disease or pancreatitis. Sometimes, these diseases are treatable, especially if caught early.
- Endocrine diseases. An over or underactive thyroid (clinically referred to as hypo or hyperthyroidism) can occur in cats, and vomiting may be a symptom.
- Neurological. Sometimes, a cat’s stomach may be sounding the alarm for their brain. Vomiting can indicate a cat has vestibular disease (typically coinciding with difficulty balancing) or encephalitis (when the brain’s lining is inflamed).
- Cancer. Unfortunately, vomiting can be a sign of cancer in the stomach or other body parts.
- Stress. Sometimes, a cat may throw up in response to stress, such as significant life changes like a new baby or cat.
You’ll want to call a vet. Spiraling is understandable — you love your cat — and you may be tempted to ignore cat throw-ups. However, your vet is the best person to let you know whether or not you should worry, plus what to do next. Here’s what could happen after you see a vet.
Your veterinarian will gather information from you, such as when the vomiting started and the frequency of episodes. From there, they might recommend additional testing, including:
The results of these tests will likely help your vet uncover the answer to the question, “Why is my cat vomiting?”
Once your cat has a diagnosis, treatment can begin. Treatment options include:
- A specialized diet
- Surgery to remove tumors
- Fluids to treat co-existing hydration
- Stress reduction tactics
A cat vomiting is a sign something is up. Some cats throw up chronically, while others may be experiencing “acute vomiting.” Regardless of which bill your kitty fits, you want to get a vet on the line. Even chronic diseases may be treatable, particularly if caught early. Also, benign issues left untreated can trigger more significant problems — for instance, vomiting can cause dehydration and malnourishment. Common culprits include food allergies, ingestion of toxins like garlic or chocolate, parasites, and infection. Sometimes, a cat might throw up because of a severe or chronic condition like cancer or pancreatitis. Again, the precise cause of your cat’s vomiting must be diagnosed by a vet, so get yours on the line.

A 2D+t approach for the transverse viscous loads in a modular maneuvering model
Peer reviewed, Journal article
MetadataVis full innførsel
OriginalversjonOcean Engineering. 2021, 228 1-19. 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2021.108853
The importance of the transverse viscous loads, in a modular maneuvering model, is investigated. A method to estimate steady sectional drag coefficients is first presented. A 2D+t approach, which accounts for forward-speed effects, is also presented. The time-varying drag coefficients, in the 2D+t method, are estimated with three methods: two simplified methods using results from the literature directly, and one more sophisticated method which uses time-derivatives, from time-dependent drag coefficients for hull forms in the literature, and integrates the drag coefficients along the hull. Turning circles with 25 and 35 rudder angle are simulated in calm water and regular waves for a range of wavelengths between and 1.120, with wave steepness , and initial head sea. The Duisburg Test Case (DTC) is used as a test ship. The numerical simulations are compared with free-running model tests. Overall, the 2D+t method, with integrated drag coefficients, shows a better match with the experiments compared to the cross-flow approach. However, both methods capture the main trends considering tactical diameter and advance for the tested wave conditions. Furthermore, using scaled time-varying drag coefficients for a circular cylinder can be a good starting point in a 2D+t approach.
