Irish port creates Brexit customs stronghold
An Irish port has doubled the size of its customs facilities in preparation for the UK’s increasingly likely departure from the European Union (EU) with a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.
After examination of historical data and several simulation studies, the Port of Cork concluded that if the UK leaves the EU single market and customs union without an agreement it is likely that more intensive checks and declarations will be required. Such an outcome is likely to substantially increase processing times at the border, the port said.
Brendan Keating, chief executive of the Port of Cork, commented: “The Port of Cork, including the new Cork Container Terminal, has made extensive preparations to ensure that importers’ and exporters’ operations from the Port run smoothly when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union
“Larger customs facilities will ensure that we can continue to ensure prompt vessel turnarounds and efficient supply chains without extended interruption from any additional administrative formalities.”
As well as the Port of Cork’s investment in additional customs facilities, it has recently invested €80m on a new container terminal that will help secure Cork as an international gateway for trade. The Cork Container Terminal will become operational in 2020.
In 2018, the Port of Cork handled traffic of 10.66m tonnes, including total container traffic of 228,762 teus.

Genetic dissection of the HBV pX transactivation, apoptotic and tumor promoting function. Isolation and characterization of mutated HBV pX proteins from HBV patients. Generation of transgenic animals, expressing wt or mutated HBV pX in liver or in mammary gland epithelial cells.
The HBV encoded pX protein plays a major role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma by either modulating the susceptibility of the infected cells to apoptosis or by inducing uncontrolled cell growth. Although hepatocellular carcinoma is the most prevalent human cancer, only a minority of patients suffering from chronic viral hepatitis undergoes neoplastic transformation indicating that pX synthesis per se is not sufficient to induce tumor formation. Cell transformation may require either activation of cellular oncogenes or alteration of the expression level of cellular genes involved in the regulation of apoptotic cell death of hepatocytes. In addition the HBV undergoes a high rate of spontaneous mutations in chronically infected individuals. Thus the possibility exists that transformation may be linked to the emergence of mutant pX proteins more than to the expression of the wild type pX protein. In the concerted action, both hypothesis will be tested in transgenic animals and in tissue culture cell lines. The identification of co-oncogenic events will be pursued by pairing wild type HBV-X mice either with transgenic animals expressing known oncogenes to generate double transgenic mice or with knock-out mice lacking key modulators of apoptotic cell death. To access the role of pX variability the pX gene will be cloned from a panel of HBV patients with different clinical outcome. Naturally occurring mutants will be tested in vitro to select functionally relevant mutations which will be used to generate transgenic mice and to test in vivo their transforming potential.

THE SIMULATOR BOOK
ABOUT YOUR BOOK
What is holding you back from becoming a great sailor? Are you unsure in your mind exactly how to sail or what to do? What are the circumstances that cause you difficulty and confusion? Sailing For Blondes, The Simulator Book, Learn Twice as Fast and Twice as Good 🙂 is the only step-by-step sailing fundamentals book known to the author that is NOT purely technical in its approach to sailing instruction. Each chapter in the book gives students a technical sailing concept, a fictional storyline, and lastly, the step-by-step learning dialogue on how to sail just as if they were actually on a sailboat. It keeps students engaged in an interactive way to learn sailing in the shortest, possible time. It is not dry or boring and it sparkles with life while leaving lasting knowledge.
ABOUT YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE
Joyce Matlock teaches new sailors and sailors wanting to brush up on their skills to understand how to sail. This book offers one of the best-combined teaching methods for men and women you can find on sailing instruction. It includes a patent-pending, hands-on learning tool called The Simulator that firmly fixes sailing concepts into your brain. You will use the sailing simulator throughout the book to seal your understanding of what you are reading. The title is a take-off on the Dummies series of books. When you use the sailing simulator while reading the book, you will easily understand how to sail.
ABOUT SAILING A BOAT
The patent-pending sailing simulator works just like sailing a boat. If you decide to learn to sail on your own, this book and simulator will speed your learning curve enormously. If you decide to take an on-the-water sailing course, this book and the companion simulator will prepare you with your mental edge of understanding so you can get your money’s worth! The outcome will be an understanding of sailing basics and concepts and that’s what you must learn to know how to sail a boat.
- The book presents multiple ways to learn. The sailing concept is explained, the storyline brings sailing to life, and the dialogue tells a student every step to take when learning to sail.
- The style is based on proven learning theories and parallels Piaget’s 1977 constructivist learning theory that is still being taught and used today.

WHY I WROTE THE BOOK
I kept asking myself why was I having difficulty understanding how a boat sails? Once I finally understood it, I wanted to help others who were having the same problem. It took me a long time to learn from reading and studying technical sailing books and I didn’t want other to go through that much pain and frustration! ☺
FOR MY SAILING FRIENDS
My book began as a simple and short written explanation on how to sail for my friends. I was explaining how easy it was to understand sailing by using what became my patent-pending simulator. I just wanted to show others at my sailing club how to learn to sail much easier. I really had no idea that it would develop into a book project that would take on a life of its own!
MY MASTER’S IN TEACHING
I got my Master’s very late in life and have realized since that the benefit of getting it was to help me write my book. I did not know that at the time. I thought I was getting it because I wanted to teach and I did that, but it has become clear to me that my real calling was to teach others how to sail! My book is very unique in that it uses multiple proven theories on how people learn. There is conceptual information in the book, but more importantly it is presented in ways that encourage your brain to learn.
The conceptual sailing information is simple to understand text and also has visual illustrations on the points of sail that are critical to learning to sail a boat. The storyline connects to the conceptual information and adds the emotional joy of sailing and being with others. And, the conversational dialogue is the talk that you would hear on a sailboat when learning to sail. It offers real interaction with some light humor.
I know you will learn by reading and studying my book and it will touch your brain and your heart whether you are blonde, brunette, redhead or a guy or gal. ENJOY this book while learning to ride the wind!

Many individuals always think that skin tag can lead to cancer. But the truth is that there is no link between skin tag and cancer. Skin tag can grow on any part of the body. When it grows on hidden parts of the body, it can easily get bruised and bruised skin tags can get easily infected. Infected skin tag will surely lead to other health complications if it is not treated on time. In case you are having this skin condition, the best thing you can do to avoid any possible problem is to get rid of it on time so as not to end up with very uncomfortable situation.
This write up will open your eyes to some of the simple things you can do to get rid of this skin condition within a very short period to time.
Try duct tape
Duct tape can be used for treating this skin condition right at home without any problem whatsoever. The use of duct tape involves very simple procedure that anyone can try out. It involves wrapping the duct tape around the skin condition and leaving it for some time. After about twenty four hours, the duct tape can be removed and another one applied; provided the skin tag has not dropped off after the first twenty four hours of application. The duct tape has a way of weakening the skin tag from its root and the root. The skin tag rarely leaves any spot on the skin after it had been removed this way.
Tie it up
You can also get rid of the skin condition by tying it at its root. This is done by simply tying a small string around the base of the skin condition. This will help to cut off the blood and nutrient supply that comes into the skin tag from the body’s circulation. Before long, the skin tag will die off and leave no spot at all on the skin.
Cut it from the root
It is also possible to get rid of the skin tag by cutting it from the root. This can be done with a scissors or nail cutter. Hold the nail cutter to the root of the skin tag and cut it off form its base. This is a very painful way of getting things done and it is also the fastest way. This method can however leave spots on the skin.

Change is happening rapidly in rural states these days, and Kansas is no exception. Intense weather events and damaging tariffs are directly harming farming communities, while rural health disparities have become a nationwide area of focus and investment. With expanding sustainable technology and manufacturing sectors of its economy, the “Free State” is growing in exciting ways. At the same time, citizens are still witnessing attempts to stifle progress under the guise of higher moral judgment. An example has come from the “old guard” of misinformed, zero-tolerance proponents of the drug war. There are decision-makers who, on the one hand, approved of an industrial hemp law in 2018, yet those same people maintain that regulating or decriminalizing cannabis (even for medicinal purposes) is completely unacceptable.
To show just how out-of-touch this perspective is compared to public opinion, we must turn to localized data. According to the recent Kansas Speaks Fall 2019 Statewide Opinion Survey from Fort Hays State University and Docking Institute, “61.3% of respondents ‘strongly support’ or ‘somewhat support’ legalizing recreational marijuana for individuals 21 and older.” Suffering patients and their caretakers have especially grown tired of being ignored by opponents, causing many longtime Kansans to leave the state indefinitely.
Signaling a continuing shift in paradigms, two years ago the spring 2017 survey reported overall support for adult use was 50%. The report had an additional question specifically regarding medical cannabis. That year “over three-quarters (76%) of respondents at least ’somewhat support’ medical marijuana, while 14% of respondents at least ‘somewhat oppose.’ Of the political categories, only the strongest Republicans were more likely to oppose than support allowing medical marijuana.”
After watching Kansas become surrounded by three legal states and a fourth on the way, people are asking if current lawmakers can even reach an objective consensus. What we do know is while legal states are documenting both benefits and issues with changing law structures, data is consistently showing legalization is working. The good news is, those unwilling to acknowledge the failures of prohibition or protect public health and safety by updating policies are dropping in number, and influence.
Options On The Table
During this past October, a special committee on federal and state affairs heard testimonies and discussed crafting a medical cannabis bill to introduce into the Kansas House and Senate. Between two different meetings more than sixty-five testimonies were submitted, but only a fifth were opponents of legalization. The change in societal perception about cannabis had been …

WIMBLEDON, England - A day after Rafael Nadal's stunning exit at Wimbledon, the only other men who have won the tournament since 2003 - six-time champion Roger Federer and defending champion Novak Djokovic - found themselves trailing far-less-accomplished opponents, too.
WIMBLEDON, England — A day after Rafael Nadal’s stunning exit at Wimbledon, the only other men who have won the tournament since 2003 — six-time champion Roger Federer and defending champion Novak Djokovic — found themselves trailing far-less-accomplished opponents, too.
Here we go again?
Federer sure came close to following Nadal out the door, though. The owner of a record 16 major trophies, the third-seeded Federer dropped the first two sets against 29th-seeded Julien Benneteau of France, then six times was two points away from losing, before coming all the way back to pull out a 4-6, 6-7 (3), 6-2, 7-6 (6), 6-1 victory yesterday in the third round.
“It was brutal,” Federer said. “The thing, when you’re down two sets to love, is to stay calm, even though it’s hard, because people are freaking out, people are worried for you. … You don’t have, obviously, many lives left out there. You just try to play tough and focus point for point.”& amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; /p>
He should know.
This was the eighth time in Federer’s illustrious career that he overcame a two-set hole, including against Juan Martin del Potro in the French Open quarterfinals 31/2 weeks ago.
“Mentally, he’s a rock. He’s two sets down and he doesn’t show anything. And after that, if your level is a little bit lower — right here, right now, he takes the opportunity,” said Benneteau, whose cramping thighs were massaged by a trainer during two final-set changeovers. “At the beginning of the third set, I was not as good as I was in the first two sets, and in five minutes, it’s 4-0.”
With Federer serving while down 6-5 in the fourth set, Benneteau hit a forehand winner to get to 15-30, putting him two points from the upset. Federer hit a forehand winner that made it 30-all, still two points away for Benneteau. The game had two deuces, too — each one placing Benneteau that close again. But Federer held, the crowd roaring with each point he won.
In the tiebreaker, Federer was two points from being gone at 5-all, then 6-all. But on the latter, a nine-stroke exchange ended with Benneteau netting a backhand. That gave Federer his second set point — he already had wasted three others in the second set — and a powerful forehand forced a Benneteau forehand error.
That was the beginning of the end for Benneteau, and it allowed Federer to avoid the sort of surprise that befell the second-seeded Nadal, whose five-set loss on Thursday to the 100th-ranked and previously unknown Lukas Rosol was still reverberating around the All England Club.
Like Federer and Nadal, Djokovic fell behind against someone he was expected to beat easily: The Serb ceded the first set, getting broken at love by No. 28 Radek Stepanek. But Djokovic quickly turned things around, breaking Stepanek to begin each of the next three sets for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 victory that moved him closer to a semifinal showdown against Federer.
“You cannot take for granted anybody. You can’t underestimate any opponent,” said Djokovic, the top seed. “It’s Wimbledon. Everybody wants to come up with their best game, especially when you’re playing one of the top players.”

The UK financial services sector is a prime target for criminal activities including fraud, theft, tax evasion, money laundering and counterfeiting. The FCA has highlighted financial crime as one of its key priority areas for 2017. “It is imperative that the UK financial system has appropriate safeguards to prevent financial crime”.
Rob Gruppetta, Head of the Financial Crime Department commented recently: “The social and economic costs of serious and organised crime to the UK were assessed in the past at £24bn”.
It's clear from our conversations with UK Financial Services organisations that financial crime is considered a key risk area and many have robust risk controls and incident management programmes in place. However, we thought it useful to highlight some priority areas worth considering for 2017.
The Financial Crime Return (REP-CRIM) comes into effect
The reporting obligations for the new REP-CRIM took effect on 31 December 2016 and require affected firms to submit a return within a submission period of 60 business days from year end. Therefore, the first REP-CRIM return for firms with a year end of 31 December will now be due in March 2017.
The FCA first stated its intention to use the REP-CRIM return as a means of replacing the existing ad-hoc financial crime risk data collection and notifications in December 2015. Following a process of industry consultation, the FCA published its policy statement ‘PS16/19: Financial Crime Reporting: feedback on Chapter 6 of CP15/42 and final rules’, which included a number of changes and concessions for various firms.
Some of the key changes were:
- Firms including banks, building societies and investment organisations that are subject to the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs), will only be required to submit information for the areas of their business subject to the MLRs
- General insurers, insurance intermediaries and credit unions will not be required initially to submit a return, however, general insurance firms are expected to be subject to the rules at a later date
- There is a current exemption for mortgage intermediaries, retail investment intermediaries, investment firms, consumer credit firms and electronic money institutions with total annual revenues of less than £5m
- The 30 day deadline has been increased to 60 business days
- The scope of reporting for groups and multi-jurisdictional entities, has been further clarified. This includes:
- the option to submit on a group or a solo basis;
- to only provide information about the jurisdictions in which the firm operates, or has assessed and classified as high risk, within the last two years;
- the application of their own definition of ‘Politically Exposed Persons’ (PEPs) when reporting on PEP relationships
...and a few more besides. Please refer to the policy for more information.
Information on the prescribed format of the return and guidance notes will be available in the SUP Sourcebook and the return itself will be submitted online through the GABRIEL reporting system.
Compliance with Potential Corporate Law Changes
In view of 2016’s ‘Corporate Failure to Prevent the Criminal Facilitation of Tax Evasion offence’, many believe that there is a possibility that we will see a change in the law governing economic crime, which is likely to follow similar principles to previous enforcements. If businesses are found not to be complying, they would need to provide evidence that they have procedures in place to ensure that the conduct in question does not happen again.
Recommendations from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)
In 2012, the FATF updated their recommendations in order to provide governments with more effective tools to address some of the most challenging areas of financial crime, relating to money laundering and terrorist financing.
These recommendations communicate several key messages:
- The importance of reporting and following up on every suspicious transaction
- The importance of ensuring customer data is as accurate and as up-to-date as possible
- The need for keeping precise, relevant records
- The need for relevant and effective staff training
- The need for comprehensive risk management policies and procedures
The FCA has stated: “We will continue to be a major participant in the FATF and an FATF mutual evaluation review of the UK is scheduled for late 2017”.
Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Directive (4AMLD)
In July 2016, the European Commission disclosed its proposal to further reinforce the European Union’s rules on anti-money laundering (“AML”), to counter terrorist financing, tax evasion and increase transparency around beneficial ownership.
The requirements of the fourth directive are centred around enhanced due diligence when obtaining information about customers established in High-Risk Countries. The directive also outlines a consistent approach to beneficial owner checks, incorporates a wider range of criminal offences to money laundering and reconsiders suspicious reporting rules. Importantly, it clarifies where senior management approval is required, for example, in the case of a high risk transaction. Business are required to be compliant with 4AMLD by mid-2017.
It is clear that financial crime is a dynamic and constantly changing challenge that is very much on the regulators radar. Financial services organisations will need to ensure that they have a robust and flexible way of gathering and analysing risk information if they want to protect themselves against financial and reputational loss, as well as meeting the needs of the regulator.

by Vlad Tepes, RAIR Foundation:
Hungary has enacted stricter rules against the clandestine insectification of foods . The Minister of Agriculture István Nagy announced on his social media site that they are now requiring foods containing insect proteins to carry the label “Warning! Food containing insect proteins” and must be displayed separately from other products,
The minister stressed that the government wants to protect Hungarian consumers from foods containing insect protein authorized by Brussels in the European Union (EU) through strict product labeling and segregation rules.
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
He added that the European Commission is risking our gastronomic traditions and eating habits. That is why the Ministry of Agriculture has amended the food-labeling regulation to provide accurate information to consumers.
Products containing insect proteins will be clearly distinguishable and segregated on store shelves. Non-compliant packaging and labels may continue to be used for three months, and products with such packaging or labels may remain on the market for a maximum of three months. István Nagy also pointed out that no fines for non-compliance with the amended Regulation for 90 days will be imposed.
He pointed out that representative surveys by the National Food Chain Safety Office clearly show that since 2016, the proportion of people in Hungary who will not eat insects has increased by 2.4 percent.
Those who prefer buying food of Hungarian origin do not want to eat insects. In addition, he underlined that Hungarian farmers always provide the Hungarian population with high-quality foodstuff, fresh and good quality food, so there is no need to fear either food shortages or protein shortages.
He also said that the regulation does not affect insect-derived additives, which have been widely used by the food industry but apply to insects as ingredients.
Italy bans insect flour from its pasta
Italy has banned insect flour from its pasta, reports The Times. “The growing use in cooking of flour made from crickets, locusts, and insect larvae has met fierce opposition in Italy, where the government is to ban its use in pizza and pasta and segregate it on supermarket shelves.’
In a sign of fear that insects might be associated with Italian cuisine, three government ministers called a press conference in Rome to announce four decrees aimed at a crackdown. “Fundamentally, these flours are not confused with food made in Italy,” said agriculture minister Francesco Lollobrigida
As previously reported at RAIR Foundation USA, unelected self-anointed globalists have fought for years for westerners to eat bugs. They hope to brainwash citizens with environmental and nutritional narratives in order to control their food choices. “Packed with vitamins, proteins, and minerals, flour made from crickets is increasingly seen as an ecological way to obtain nutrients, and the market is forecast to reach $3.5 billion by 2029.” The EU has already authorized foods made from crickets, locusts, and the darkling beetle larva. In January, mealworm larvae were added to the list.”
However, all four insects are cited in the Italian decrees, requiring any products containing them to be labeled with large lettering and displayed separately from other foods.


“It’s obviously not an ideal situation,” Peter Feng, the communications director at South San Francisco Unified Faculty District instructed reporters on Tuesday.
Feng stated the district is experiencing such a shortage in substitute lecturers that now district staff, together with assistant superintendents and even the superintendent herself, are getting used to fill in as subs.
“We’ve been experiencing a staffing shortage in the areas of substitute teaching, as well as food service work, as well as preschool teachers,” Feng defined.
The shortage shouldn’t be distinctive to South San Francisco. Districts throughout the state are coping with this challenge. San Jose Unified Faculty District has been asking college counselors to fill in after they cannot discover a substitute.
“It’s volatile. That’s the best word I have for it at the moment,” Mary Vixie Sandy, the manager director on the Fee on Teacher Credentialing, instructed ABC7 Information.
Sandy stated in order to recruit substitute lecturers some districts are elevating their each day charge. “We’ve seen some districts have gone from $100 a day, to $200 or $280 or up to $350 a day to recruit a substitute teaching corps,” she defined.
In line with Sandy, the substitute teacher shortage is an element of a bigger, statewide teacher shortage pushed, in half, by lecturers who selected to not return in the course of the pandemic.
“The pool of substitute teachers that have been available to schools was diminished during the school closure year,” Sandy stated.
Cachet Berger is a former para-educator for particular schooling college students in the Oakland Unified Faculty District. She is certainly one of many lecturers and faculty staff who selected to not return to the classroom initially of this college yr.
“The decision was simply, I didn’t want to have exposure to 900 students and risk possibly bringing the Delta home to my son,” Berger instructed ABC7 Information.
Berger’s son is 11 and never but sufficiently old to be vaccinated.
Requested what would get her again to working in a classroom, she replied: “First and foremost, my son being vaccinated.”
Sandy stated she understands the choice Berger, and so many others have made, however is hopeful that the state will recruit extra lecturers. She stated additional funding in this yr’s state finances for teacher recruitment and retention may assist deal with the difficulty.
As for the substitute teacher shortage particularly, she stated the Fee on Teacher Credentialing is working with the legislature to ease restrictions for each turning into a substitute teacher and for what number of consecutive days a sub can work.
“We think that will be a helpful measure for school districts,” Sandy stated.

To the Editor:
Re ''Upholding Affirmative Action'' (editorial, Dec. 3):
The most common argument I hear from those who oppose affirmative action in college admissions is that white people with higher grades may be excluded when a minority applicant is accepted. But white people with higher grades are often excluded for other reasons, and no one is fuming over that.
For instance, students whose parents were alumni may get preferential treatment. Many great athletes get accepted to colleges without stellar grades. If grades were the sole admissions criterion, why should colleges care whether students were Eagle Scouts, marched in a band or were active in civic organizations?
If the Supreme Court knocks down race-based admissions using grades as the reason, then grades should be the only factor considered in admissions. But that would be unwise and extreme, as extreme as forbidding race as a consideration.

July 20, 2011 -- A crime-tip line in Sacramento, Calif., has been peppered with calls about a case in which police are investigating allegations that a principal sexually abused students for the past 15 years, authorities said today.
Robert Adams is being investigated for alleged incidents involving at least 10 current and former students at the now-shuttered Creative Frontiers School that he also owns, according to the Citrus Heights Police Department.
No arrests have been made and Adams denies the allegations.
"People have been involved daily giving us information and calling us based on our press release," Citrus Heights Public Information Officer Jon Kempf said of the department's Monday news release.
A search warrant was issued Monday and investigators visited the school and Adams' residence. The preschool and elementary school were shutdown Monday.
Kempf said investigators are taking their time with the investigation because of the nature of the alleged crimes.
"Detectives are reviewing evidence," he said. "We want to really move meticulously, slowly and cautiously. Then we'll review what we have, and investigators will make their next investigative step."
Adams is alleged to have engaged in inappropriate sexual and physical contact on numerous occasions, according to a state Department of Social Services complaint.
"Respondent Adams rubbed Child #1 on her back, legs, arms and buttocks and then touched her buttocks after inserting his hand under her swim suit while she was lying on her stomach," the report says of an incident that is alleged to have occurred in 2010.
Irma Mertens, a facility volunteer at the school, said she walked in on Adams acting inappropriately last year.
"He was laying on a mat on the floor with a girl about 7 or 8 years old," Mertens told ABC affiliate New10 in Sacramento. "He was sitting there massaging her arm, massaging her back and then he moved down to her buttocks and her legs."
Shane McBride of Orangevale, Calif., said his daughter used to attend the school, until he pulled her out in 2005 after an incident that left him uncomfortable. He told ABC affiliate News10 that his daughter came home with a bruise on the inside of her thigh and he filed a complaint with the Department of Social Services, which was dismissed because of insufficient evidence.
Adams' lawyer said her client is outraged at the allegations.
"He is very shocked and saddened by the accusations and the investigation. … I'm confident that once a careful investigation has been conducted, he will be completely cleared," attorney Linda Parisi said.
She said the investigation has been conducted in a way that has taken a toll on the children at the school.
"It's very sad about how the children are traumatized by the way the investigation has been done. … Many, many officers came out to the school on Monday and came onto the school grounds during school hours and shut the school down," she said. "It's traumatic for the children to see that happening."
Parents, relatives and friends of Adams have been commenting on the school's Facebook page since Monday, many writing comments in defense of the man that many refer to as "Mr. Bob."
Creative Frontiers School educates about 180 students during the school year and, police said, about 80 were attending the school this summer. Officer Kempf said the department is handling the investigation with the children's best interests at hand.
"Their safety is our No. 1 priority," he said.

I was somewhat apprehensive about today's run. 18 miles is a long way, and my previous long run (15 miles) was a nightmare from start to finish. And 18 miles is further than 15 miles! When I finished the 15 miler I was so miserable I considered stopping all this marathon nonsense, and quite possibly quitting running altogether.
This morning we got up early, leaving the house at 4.30am so that Husbando could get to his book fair in London. I set out on my run at 6am, when it was already 61F. I'd been chatting with a running friend about the fact that I was going through a phase of not really enjoying running. He suggested that I should try running a lot slower than I normally would on my long runs. With this in mind I set off planning to run 10 minute miles.
It was lovely. Beautifully blue skies, many roads closed for the Paralympic marathon, and all run at a pace that I felt I could carry in running for ever. Unfortunately my bladder had other ideas! Or rather my mind did! For some reason, the thought popped into my head that it was going to prove impractical to pop behind a hedge if I needed a pee. From that moment on I needed a pee constantly! Luckily there were enough Starbucks and McDonald's open!
I ran along The Embankment, with a detour up to the King's Road (Starbucks!) as far as Wandsworth Bridge and then came back along the South Bank, through Battersea Park and back over Battersea Bridge. As I turned right coming off the bridge I noticed a runner in front of me who was swaying somewhat. I knew something was wrong, so sped up a bit to try and catch her. I didn't manage it. She fell, falling hard against the iron railings and fell, unconscious, to the pavement. I sprinted, yanking my 'phone out of my pocket and trying to remember what number to dial to call 999! I checked her pulse and her breathing, and was about to put her in the recovery position when she started fitting. I was on the phone by now summoning an ambulance. My instructions were that we were on Chelsea Embankment, 50m east of Battersea Bridge. I was asked if I could be more specific! Er, no! I don't have an OS map to provide an 8 figure grid reference!
Meanwhile the lady (Lisa) was starting to come round. She had huge lacerations to her face and was very confused. I was sitting on the ground next to her, holding her hand. The woman on the phone was asking me all sorts of questions that I really didn't want to answer with the patient listening, but we got there in the end! As we waited for the ambulance I dialled Lisa's husband on my phone, so that she could tell him what was going on (she had no phone with her). It seemed a long wait, but the when they arrived they were efficient and friendly whisking Lisa off to St Thomas's. I phoned her husband again to let him know where she was going. I hope she is Ok.
Then I had to start running again. That was hard. I'd already run nearly 11 miles, and then sat on a pavement for ages getting nice and stiff! Somehow I managed. I crossed the river again at some point, running along the South Bank as far as Southwark Cathedral, before coming back and crossing over the Millennium Footbridge (a first for me - I wanted to check it was safe before risking it). At about 15 miles I suddenly realised that I was able to do this! I could run 18 miles and I was enjoying it! I could have carried on much longer, so I figure that I will just accept that I am going to run a very slow marathon, and give myself a time to improve on!
As I ran back along The Embankment I was again on the Paralympic marathon route. I saw a fair few runners, but not David Weir (it would be greedy to watch him win two medals I suppose). It was a fantastic atmosphere, with crowds cheering athletes on, and turning to cheer me on when there were no real runners to watch!
I have just one more really long run to do now before THE BIG DAY! 22 miles in a couple of weeks, but I shall just go out slow and steady and remember that the reason I run is because I enjoy it!

"The dynamics of the banking system is positive and it has passed the crisis stage, the stage of stagnation is about to end. I see the beginning of growth," he said.
In particular he marked a slight growth (0.4%) in the sector of loans to legal entities.
"This is a slight increase, but if such dynamics continues in the next period we will reach a normal annual growth rate of 5-6%," Pozdyshev said.

Want to learn to drum like Ringo? How about spreading some Christmas cheer with the lads?
We're getting closer and closer to the September 9 release date of The Beatles: Rock Band, and Harmonix is letting us spill a few more details about the game today. Wired.com recently got to experience some of the game's new modes, including the drum trainer -- now rechristened "Beatles Beats" -- and the rewards you'll get for playing the game's 45 different on-disc songs.
For scoring well on songs, you'll unlock all kinds of bonuses. Each song has two photographs pulled from the Beatles' archive, some of which have never been seen before. Harmonix showed us one that depicts the group getting their very first "mop-top" haircuts. Paul McCartney, Harmonix said, sat down for eight hours with the game's head writer to fact-check and add color to the lengthy descriptive captions that accompany each image.
There are even better rewards. For one, you can unlock the Beatles' first Christmas album, a short 45 RPM record that they mailed out to members of their fan club. It features the band clowning around, telling jokes, singing songs like "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Ringo." As you're listening to the recording, you'll see photographs and scans of the original packaging, etc.
The drum trainer mode includes the standard beats that the regular ol' vanilla Rock Band game teaches you, but it also includes beats made famous by Ringo Starr, in case you want to learn his often unique drum patterns in an environment set apart from the songs.

IPEN Co-Chair Dr. Olga Speranskaya read this statement at a press conference on the IPEN - UNEP Partnership created to contribute to the work on Gender and Chemicals, through a focus on women, at the 3rd United Nations Environment Assembly (December, 2017).
UN Expert Committee recommends global action on outdated DDT-Contaminated Pesticide
(Rome, Italy) A UN technical committee has determined that Dicofol, an outdated DDT-contaminated pesticide should be eliminated globally under the Stockholm Convention, an international treaty that bans the world’s most hazardous chemical pollutants.
The week-long meeting of the Stockholm Convention’s expert committee was held from 17-20th October 2017 and attended by many industry associations and companies involved in the production and use of fluorinated chemicals.
In Rome, the expert committee tackled a recommendation for adding PFOA to the treaty, including possible exemptions for continued uses. PFOA is known as the ‘Teflon chemical’ or C8 and has widely polluted drinking water throughout the world. The Committee began evaluation of the industry’s fluorinated substitute, PFHxS, which has been widely used as an alternative for PFOS.
Around a hundred scientists ask Europe and the international community to act against endocrine disrupting chemicals. They condemn the use of strategies for manufacturing doubt employed by industries in the climate change battle.
IPEN Participating Organization Arnika, based in the Czech Republic, recently found concentrations of toxic substances in several samples of commonly available summer shoes and drinking glasses. Chemical analysis was commissioned of footwear and printed glasses, and DEHP and DiBP, which are phthalates especially hazardous for human hormonal and reproductive systems, were found in the shoes, as well as lead. Children's shoes specifically were tested, because children are particularly vulnerable to the hazards of phthalates and heavy metals.

Perfect for a light lunch or if you are asked to bring a dish to a holiday party.
I think this is an excellent option as part of a buffet meal because it only has ‘gentle’ flavours that pretty much work with any side dish that you want to serve. It also looks pretty 🙂
If you don’t have a long tart pan then don’t worry, just use a normal round quiche or pie dish.
You can swap the brie for camembert or another similar soft cheese.
Ingredients – serves 4:
- 1 sheet ready-rolled frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely snipped
- 100g/3 oz brie or any other soft cheese, thinly sliced
- 5 cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered depending on their size
- Heat your oven to 200C/180C fan forced/390F. Spray a tart pan or quiche dish with cooking spray.
- Line your pan/dish with the pastry, making sure to firmly press any joins and to come up the sides of the pan too. If you are using a tart pan that has a loose base, place the pan onto a baking tray just in case any egg mixture leaks out of the tart whilst it is cooking.
- Put the eggs, milk, grated cheese, mustard, flour and chives into a jug and whisk to combine.
- Place the sliced brie and cherry tomatoes into the pastry case, then gently pour over the egg mixture.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the pastry and filling are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. (You can also cool completely in the pan then refrigerate overnight if you want to make this in advance.)

KING OF KILLERS
Starring: Frank Grillo, Stephen Dorff, Marie Avgeropoulos, Amy Groening, Kevin Grevioux, Shannon Kook, Alain Moussi, Georges St-Pierre, Gianni Capaldi, Ryan Tarran, and Zoe Worn.
Director: Kevin Grevioux
If you are a fan of B-level action movies (I am decidedly not), there is the remotest chance that King of Killers will serve as adequate late-night fodder. Its ambitious attempt at a John Wick knockoff with Guy Ritchie-style camerawork gave me hope, but unfortunately, poor acting and haphazard editing make it play more like a daytime soap opera. This contract killer calamity features truly terrible dialogue, and I spent most of the movie fantasizing about my own plan for hitman-style retribution for the sick Machiavellians that charged me $6.99 for the “privilege” to stream this train wreck!
King Of Killers attempts to deploy every cliché in the book of straight-to-video action films, yet fails at every single one of them. Filled to the absolute brim with terrible performances, awful lighting, and a couple buckets of CGI blood, glass, and smoke… King Of Killers tries to be a cheap John Wick knockoff, but clearly doesn’t have the budget or the technical skill to pull it off. Frank Grillo does his usual machismo schtick as the villainous Jorg Drakos, and admittedly, his performance is fine, but the bar is low because even he isn’t at his best.

Main Event to go public
Main Event Entertainment Group will seek to go public within two weeks, sources indicate.
The company and its financial adviser, Mayberry Investments Limited, will host a private investors briefing today in Kingston, ahead of an expected initial public offering of shares of Main Event via the junior stock exchange.
Mayberry CEO Gary Peart declined to comment on the matter.
Main Event was incorporated in 2004 by Solomon Sharpe and Richard Bair. It's described as Jamaica's largest digital signage and structured, premier event management company. Digicel Rising Stars, Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival and many other concerts, parties and shows utilise the event company's equipment and rigs.
It would be the third entertainment company to list since the debut of the junior stock exchange, the others being start-up music publisher C2W Music Limited, and casual dining outfit KLE Group Limited, which recently divested itself of its nightclub business to focus on the restaurant operations.
Sharpe serves as chief executive officer of Main Event and Bair as chief operating officer. Both are directors. Main Event operates from Lady Musgrave Road in Kingston with a staff complement of 96, including contract workers.
Main Event hired Mayberry as financial advisers back in June to raise capital for the company, which was taken as a sign that the owners were preparing to float the company on the stock market.
Mayberry has arranged the most IPOs on the junior market since its debut in 2009.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - A line of heavy thunderstorms is marching across South Louisiana, bringing us a threat of severe weather. A tornado watch has been issued until 3 a.m. and there is the potential for strong, damaging winds and local flooding rainfall.
The greatest threat appears to arrive between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. Some showers will linger into the morning drive, and it will be much cooler. Highs on Wednesday will not get out of the 60s after today's lower-80s. A dry spell sets up for the rest of the week with a cooling trend coming over the weekend.


METAIRIE, La. — Drew Brees is in the final week of his seventh training camp with the New Orleans Saints, but there always seems to be a new challenge to keep the quarterback from being spoiled by his Hall of Fame-lock success.
The Saints won the NFC South in his first season, 2006, but had to keep pushing to win Super Bowl XLIV after the 2009 season. Individually, he flirted with Dan Marino’s coveted single-season passing yardage record in 2010 before shattering it last season.
This season brings the biggest obstacle of them all — directing the offense and leading his teammates without any contact from his head coach. While Sean Payton serves his NFL-imposed suspension for his role in the team’s bounty scandal for the entire season, it will be the first time he and Brees don’t collaborate on game day since they arrived together in New Orleans.
Since last year's lockout, Brees has been exposed to more coaching-related hurdles, from Payton’s midseason knee injury last fall to the contract talks that kept the quarterback from being fully immersed in the Saints’ offseason program this spring.
That’s made for a tougher than usual camp for the 33-year-old Brees, who arrived on the heels of signing a five-year, $100 million contract.
“They’re all challenging,” Brees said. “You get out of it what you put into it. It’s time-consuming, it’s all day. It’s a constant grind, whether it’s physical or mental. It seems like there’s so much to be done in a short amount of time. You just have to be very efficient.”
Brees and his offensive supporting cast are one of the Saints’ constants, but in addition to not having Payton or stalwart linebacker Jonathan Vilma for the season, they also are set to be without steady defensive end Will Smith for four games.
Brees says the approach of Saints’ players hasn’t changed much with the adversity, and neither has their focus in a most different camp.
“We’ve got to fight through. It’s part of what brings us together as a team,” Brees said. “You pay the price now so that you can enjoy the reward later — that’s the mentality.
“I feel like there’s a lot of work to be done. We’re certainly not satisfied with where we’re at.”
That’s what puts Brees in special company among the greats past and present — that drive to be better than his best. He just threw for an NFL-record 5,476 yards last season with a career-high 46 touchdown passes. The Saints took back the NFC South title from Atlanta with a 13-3 record, and won a home playoff game.
But those numbers only make it frustrating for Brees that they didn’t win the Super Bowl. When the Saints lost their opening nail-biter at Green Bay last season, it turned out to be the swing game that kept them from staying in the Superdome throughout the playoffs. They saw their postseason end in another close road thriller in San Francisco.
“Statistics don’t always tell the story,” Brees said. “We can do better in so many different ways. In a lot of cases, it’s just subtle things here and there that might get you one extra first down in a game, allow you to convert one more time in a short-yardage situation or in the red zone, or give you one more big-play opportunity a game that might change a game.
“As you know, if you can do something that wins you one more game, you have home-field advantage.”
Considering his age, some may have thought the Saints invested too much in Brees’ future, including a guaranteed $60 million. But his teammates know that he’ll keep working overtime to earn every penny.
“He deserves everything that he has, what he has earned, and what he has coming to him,” second-year running back Mark Ingram said. “Everyone knows he’s a great football player, but he’s also a great guy — fun to be around, very down to earth, and doesn’t think he’s better than anyone else. If you have a question, he’s there to answer it, no matter whether you’re an undrafted free agent or first-round pick. He treats everybody the same way.”
Brees' knowledge will be an invaluable resource without Payton’s influence.
Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton saw that from the other side when lining up against Brees as an Atlanta Falcon, and he’s quickly grown to appreciate that more in his first camp in New Orleans.
“He’s very cerebral and has a high football IQ,” Lofton said. “I knew that coming in here, but seeing how he operates and seeing him practice, you have a lot more respect for him.”
Individually, Brees’ smarts set up him apart from many players. But he never makes his teammates feel like they are less important to the team goals.
“He’s also a humble guy who puts this team first,” Lofton said. “I’m happy to be on this team and not playing against him.”
The one thing that can’t be underestimated about the Saints is their veteran nucleus. Beyond just the experience, it’s team unity that's bound to make a difference in their post-bounty season.
“We’re blessed to be able to play this game and do what we do," Brees said. "Yeah it’s hard and it takes a lot of discipline, but we’re going to have a lot of fun doing it at the same time. We enjoy each other’s company.
“That’s the camaraderie, that’s the team chemistry, that’s what you love about the locker room. From what everyone tells me, when you leave this game, that’s what you miss.”
Although the Saints will miss Payton to some degree in the short term, this season will be a reminder of just how lucky they are to have a happy and healthy Brees.

POLICE IG, Others Summoned For ALLEGED DETENTION Of SUSPECT
Criminal Court C has summoned Police Inspector General Patrick Sudue, Montserrado County Attorney, and others for alleged detention of a suspect identified as Joe Young beyond the constitutional deadline (48hrs).
Judge T. Ciapha Carey’s writ of summons is also as the result of the alleged failure of the above-named individuals to honor a previous writ of ‘Habeas Corpus’ issued out of that honorable court to have the Inspector General and co-associates in this case to turnover Joe to his lawyer as instructed.
The Criminal Court C Judge January 19, 2022 summons ordered the appearance of Inspector General Sudue, Special Assistant to the Inspector General of Police, County Attorney, and others to appear before him on Thursday, January 20, 2022, at 10 am to show tangible cause why they cannot be held in Criminal Contempt for their refusal to honor the writ of Habeas Corpus served by that Court.
Judge Carey in his summons noted that Col. Sudue and the others were served upon the filing of the petition for the writ of habeas corpus by suspect Joe Young lawyer Cllr. Momodu Kandakai ordered them to release Joe to his client but they neglected to honor such mandate by the Court.
The Court sees such action by Sudue and the others not to abide by its instructions as obstructing the functions of that honorable court and subjecting it to public ridicule hance, the issuance of the summons.
