Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a major identifiable cause of nosocomial antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In the US alone, there are approximately 500,000 CDI cases annually, with a mortality rate >2.5%. The annual CDI-associated costs are estimated at $3.2 billion. The infectious form of C. difficile is the spore, a resistant structure that can survive on hospital surfaces for extended periods. C. difficile spore do not cause disease, but can revert to toxin-producing bacteria (a process called germination) in the microbiota-depleted gut of hospitalized patients. We have found a synthetic bile salt (CamSA) that inhibits C. difficile spore germination and more importantly protects mice from CDI without toxic effects. CamSA also synergizes with vancomycin to protect hamsters from CDI. Although CamSA has many attractive properties, it still needs to be optimized for pre-clinical trials. We have assembled a team with complementary expertise to help improve the pharmacological properties of CamSA. At the start of this project, we will finish optimizing the necessary assays using CamSA as our lead compound. The data acquired for CamSA will serve as benchmarks for new analogs (specific aim 1) to be tested in vitro and in vivo (specific aims 2-4). At each step, GO/NO GO criteria will eliminate sub-optimal analogs. The information gathered will be used to inform the rational design and synthesis of more potent and stable anti- germinants. This iterative process will be continued until an optimized CDI prophylactic lead is obtained.
The specific aims are designed to be interdependent. CamSA has already moved through much of this process since it was easily synthesized (specific aim 1), tested in a battery of in vitro assays (specific aim 2), and tested as a CDI prophylactic in rodents (specific aim 3). Moreover, we have primed the pump by finding three new anti-germinants that are ready for in vitro and in vivo testing.
Spores of the bacterium Clostridium difficile can cause hospital-borne infections that put cancer, AIDS, and transplant patients at risk. The goal of this proposal is to discover stable compounds that will prevent Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) i both mice and hamsters

A beam splitter (or beamsplitter, power splitter) is an optical device which can split an incident light beam (e.g. a laser beam) into two or more beams, which may or may not have the same optical power. Different types of beam splitters exist, as described in the following, and are used for very different purposes. For example, beam splitters are required for interferometers, autocorrelators, cameras, projectors and laser systems.
We provide beamsplitters with huge a range of coating or substrate options. Anti-reflection coatings range from the Ultraviolet (UV) to the Infrared (IR) with variety of focal length.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Less than a week after ESPN 150 wide receiver Robert Foster committed to Alabama, the Crimson Tide received more good news on Christmas night when offensive tackle Brandon Hill (Collierville, Tenn./Hargrave) recommitted to UA.
Hill originally signed with Alabama out of high school last year but failed to qualify. After playing a year at Hargrave Military Academy, he’s back with the Tide.
“Since I didn’t qualify, I had to make my mind up that once I got to Hargrave, I was going to some college,” Hill said. “At Hargrave, I had mixed feelings and emotions. I knew in my heart all along, I wanted to play in front of people, and I knew that going to Alabama would get me closer to my family.
“I called Coach [Mike] Groh up and told him that’s where I wanted to be. When I went down for my official visit, it just sealed the deal. Now, I’m just really trying to get down there and make an impact on the team.”
During his one year at Hargrave, Hill flirted with other interested schools and even gave a verbal commitment to Ole Miss.
“When I committed to Ole Miss, we both felt like it was kind of shaky,” he said. “We both knew it wasn’t 100 percent.”
In the end, Hill knew he wanted to be at Alabama. Now, he has his sights set on coming in early and competing for the right tackle spot if current starter D.J. Fluker leaves early for the NFL as expected.
“My goal for when I get to Alabama is to come in and try to get the coaches to see, ‘hey, this kid can work hard,’” Hill said. “There’s a lot of competition to start, but I’m going to work my hardest to try to get it because I want to get in, start right away and showcase myself.”
Hill currently measures in at 6-foot-7, 390 pounds, but he’s trying to get in shape for when he moves to Tuscaloosa next month.
“Right now, I’m just working,” he said. “I’m working out like three times a day. I’m trying to get down to where I can prepare my body for the workouts that I’m about to go through when I get to Alabama.”
The Tide now have 21 players committed in their 2013 class.

Every healthcare provider can attest to the challenges of collecting patient payments.
The shift to self-pay healthcare has the potential to open doors for greater efficiency and better collection rates. Yet, many providers have not embraced the reality that an increasing percentage of their revenue is going to come from patients directly, and that the successful collection of this revenue will require increased efficiency.
With the changes in healthcare legislation, evolving consumer preferences, and the prevalence of a gig economy, self-pay is now a provider priority. How can they seamlessly adopt efficient self-pay strategies, keeping in mind both their practice’s bottom line and patients’ well-being?
Outsourcing may be the answer.
What Is Self-Pay in Healthcare?
Self-pay in healthcare refers to the patient’s responsibility to pay providers out-of-pocket for their medical care after the claims have been processed by insurance and a balance remains.
Patients are carrying an increasing level of financial responsibility for their care. In fact, self-pay in healthcare is expected to reach $800 billion by 2026. Why? The nature of health insurance is changing.
Almost 30 million Americans are uninsured, and for those who are, self-pay is a new reality, one driven by high insurance deductibles.
But this is just scratching the surface.
Why Is Self-Pay on the Rise?
According to the most recent data, over 55% of privately-employed Americans now have high deductible health plans (HDHPs.) This number has been growing for eight years straight.
When patients have an HDHP with a deductible of several thousands of dollars, patients are financially responsible for the majority of their care before insurance comes into play. This is especially true if the patient does not anticipate meeting their deductible within the given calendar year.
In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers are becoming more aware and responsible. This is no exception for the healthcare industry, where patients seek to make more informed decisions for themselves. Instead of receiving a surprise bill, patients now want to know what their financial obligations will be before receiving treatment or care.
In other words, people want a convenient patient payments experience that empowers them to better plan for and manage their out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
Benefits of Self-Pay for Healthcare Providers
Balancing operating margins with patient satisfaction is a challenge for providers.
Efficiently collecting patient payments requires clear communication. After the insurance claim is processed, revenue is often lost or significantly delayed due to a lack of clarity regarding patient payment responsibility. Patients aren’t sure what they owe or how to pay. Traditional payment processes are complex and difficult to navigate. New technology makes it convenient and easy for the patient to pay, and the provider to get paid on time.
If patients are aware of their payment obligations, self-payment can often be completed before the bill is even sent. The healthcare revenue cycle does not get any more efficient than this.
By eliminating the back-and-forth of confusing paper statements and payment reminders, the administrative burden is drastically reduced, and consumers are much more satisfied with a patient payments experience that’s easy to understand.
No more billing disputes. It’s straightforward and produces a healthy bottom line.
Why Outsource Self-Pay?
Self-pay strategies are critical to every healthcare organization these days. Your revenue health depends on it. Streamlined payment technology makes it easier for more patients to opt for this option.
But doctors aren’t retail merchants with smart point-of-sale solutions. And, as a provider, implementing one yourself can be complex and costly.
Instead, outsourcing self-payment, via a technology solution designed to meet your and your patient’s needs, comes with exceptional benefits.
Self-payment options are much more cost-effective than traditional patient collections methods.
Without the need to verify charges or engage in the back-and-forth questioning from patients, organizations can save hundreds of FTE hours on administrative tasks in a single year to improve their revenue cycle management.
2. Access to New and Innovative Technology
Implementing, managing, and maintaining new and innovative technology in-house can be a headache and a massive expense for healthcare providers.
With an outsourced solution like AccessOne’s MobilePay, none of the tech responsibility rests on providers. MobilePay seamlessly integrates into major revenue cycle systems, which means no downtime. And because it’s truly intuitive and SMS-based, providers don’t receive phone calls about billing: patients simply pay their bills wherever and whenever it works for them.
3. Patient Financial Literacy
Patient financial literacy is directly correlated to payment.
Why? Because when patients understand their medical bill, they’re more likely to pay—one recent survey said 40% of patients were even willing to pay in advance if they knew the cost upfront. Outsourcing promotes price transparency and patient awareness of financial obligations, with zero confusion.
4. Improved Patient Satisfaction
The patient experience is no longer only about the quality of care—it extends through to payment.
One Accenture study cites that more people will leave a provider because of “ease of navigation factors,” such as a bad digital experience, than because of a poor clinical experience.
In the same way that bad digital interactions can impact your reputation with a patient negatively, good interactions (like those with excellent self-pay technology) will improve patient loyalty and satisfaction.
Outsourcing self-payment can serve as an extension of the in-person experience your practice provides.
By facilitating positive engagements with the patient on their terms (when, where, how, and with the patient’s preferences for communication in mind), providers are building patient trust. Patients feel in control because their digital experience meets their expectations and gives them control over what has previously been a frustrating, confusing payment experience.
Start Your Self-Pay Plan of Action
As the modern patient payments experience evolves, providers have to do more than add self-pay as an option.
They need a smart self-pay plan of action with a high-performing technology partner.
AccessOne is the seamless patient payment platform you’ve been looking for—we have already helped hospital systems across the U.S. improve their revenue cycle management. boost bottom lines, and drive patient satisfaction.

The House of Representatives has called on the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to obey court order by releasing the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) Ibrahim el-Zakzaky.
The unanimous decision was taken by members of the Lower Legislative chamber at a plenary on Wednesday.
The lawmakers said IMN members, also known as Shi’ites, who have been protesting their leader’s continued detention could wreak more havoc.
July 9, 2019 protest of the group turned violent when members stormed National Assembly complex, overpowered security men on guard and set several cars ablaze, several people were also wounded.
El-Zakzaky was arrested after the group clashed with a convoy of the Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai in Kaduna state in 2015.
There have been different court orders granting him bail but the Buhari-led government was accused of detaining him thereby agitating his followers who invaded the National Assembly Complex on Tuesday.
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, had to adjourn plenary when news filtered in that the group had invaded the complex.
The House Minority Leader, Ndudi Elumelu, at plenary on Wednesday, called the attention of other lawmakers on the need to probe the matter on how the lawmaking complex was invaded.
He noted that adequate security measures should be put in place to ensure the safety of lawmakers.
Others submitted that they should address “the root cause” of the protests which they identified as the continued detention of el-Zakzaky.
They argued that the circumstances surrounding the matter are similar to what led to the emergence of the Boko Haram insurgent group.
One of the lawmakers, Onofiok Luke from Akwa Ibom, condemned the continued detention of the IMN leader despite court orders setting him free.
He said “If the court has given an order for the release of the man, we should cal on the government to release him. The discourse should not be on the invasion of the national assembly alone.”
Another lawmaker from Osun state, Bamidele Salam, said El-Zakzaky’s continued detention is injustice and “injustice to one is injustice to all.”
He reminded his colleagues the need for the federal government “to look into the matter of the leader of this movement and allow the rule of law to take its course … to ensure that Boko Haram is not replicated in Shiites movement.”

With the kind of winter we had, it feels like spring began back in January. Nevertheless, it is that time of year now when trees are starting to bud and flowers are starting to bloom and very soon…perhaps too soon!…summer will be in full swing. In the past, we have written about the spring time and what are good wines to drink in the spring. Rather this time though, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at just how important this time of year is for wineries and how important the winter and spring months are to the bounty that gets harvested in the fall and ends up in your bottle. For indeed, a successful winter and a good spring can literally make or break a vintage in the vineyard.
To begin with, though the vine is a stalwart plant and is actually known to produce the best fruit in years when it is denied ample water resources, every vineyard still requires on average at least 20-25 inches of rain per year. However, it is absolutely crucial exactly WHEN this rainfall occurs for it can be, and often is, devastating if that rain comes near harvest. In reality, vineyards do not need much rain at all during the growing season, unless the region is particularly dry and warm with a great deal of evaporation. However, it is ideal if the water table is replenished with rainfall during the winter months, as seen in the best wine regions in the world, such as Napa Valley. While the drought is seemingly over in California with the admittedly “excessive” rainfall seen this year, what is nevertheless holding true out there is that the majority of the rainfall received in the state’s wine regions generally occurs from December through February and then, like clockwork, nature’s sprinklers usually shut off around the beginning of spring. This provides a tremendous advantage to wine regions where this climate pattern occurs as they are able to get the water resources necessary for irrigation purposes and so forth during winter and not have to worry about troublesome rainfall during the growing season that might cause bloated, diluted grapes or mildew and rot issues in the vineyard.
Around mid-February to mid-March, wineries begin the very important process of winter pruning and this, even more so than winter rainfall, plays a very important role in determining the size and quality of that year’s crop of grapes. Without going into the technicalities of different trellising systems, winter pruning is essentially the process of cutting away the wood/canes from last year’s growth and leaving the buds from which THIS year’s growth will emerge. The number of buds left after pruning and the positioning of those buds are crucial decisions for any winery and greatly impact both quantity AND quality of the crop, for the best wines are produced from vines where the crop load of the vine is delicately balanced with the fertility of the soil, the availability of water for the vines and the warmth and sunshine available during the growing season. It is often said that “great wine is made in the vineyard” and nowhere is this seen more completely than in the decisions the winemaker makes during winter pruning.
Even further, the practice of winter pruning during this time of year will begin the process by which the vine begins to come out of its winter dormancy and it is extremely important that this process be carefully timed with the seasonal climate. In general, as the daily average temperature of the ground reaches about 50° F, the sap within the vine will begin to flow in a process called “bleeding” or “weeping”. This will lead, shortly thereafter, to “bud break” when small nodes begin to emerge into little shoots that will grow into canes. It is important to complete the winter pruning process a week or so before this happens, and indeed, the flowing of the sap may be impeded, if so desired, by delaying the pruning. This is another crucial decision a winery must make during this time of year because if bud break occurs too soon, for instance coming out of a warm winter such as we had here this year, a dangerous and most unfortunate frost one night may end up killing a number of buds which could severely affect the overall crop the following fall.
Lastly, after bud break in April, the shoots grow quickly into canes throughout the spring and eventually canes begin to bear flowers which will turn into grape clusters during the growing season. However, in order for this to happen, the flowers need to be fertilized with pollen…and in fact, the flowers will provide their own pollen in order to do so. However, this is again a crucial stage during the season that will have a huge impact on the crop of grapes produced. If a frost occurs at any time during this process, many flowers can easily be destroyed, thus greatly impacting the crop of the vine. Also, if the conditions are too windy, the flowers may not be properly fertilized in order to created berry clusters. It is important that the conditions of the spring be warm and calm in order for the best results. For this reason, you will see wineries exerting great efforts to block wind with tree lines or fencing or even netting over the vines and employing means of keeping their vineyards warm throughout the night with big fans that circulate the air, or heating cables running through the rows or even smudge pots or torch lamps being strategically placed in low-lying areas. The investment in your average vineyard is huge and so wineries will often go to great lengths to protect that investment.
So, while from the view of the naked eye, most vineyards seem quite calm and quiet during this time of year, the bustle of very important work is actually underway and indeed, some of the most important decisions and tasks of the year that go toward putting that juice into your welcoming glass are being made and completed. If great wine truly IS made in the vineyard, as the old adage claims, one could argue it is being made right here in the spring with the birth of a new vintage.

A red planet, a ringed planet and a bright yellow star meet in the night while a comet whizzes by in a gorgeous skywatching image.
Astrophotographer Tom Harper took this photo on April 7, 2016 from Sámara, Costa Rica. The tiny beach town is where Harper retired and began pursuing astrophotography.
"I chose Sámara due to its location (9 degrees above the equator) and sweeping views of the Southern Hemisphere," he wrote in an email to Space.com." My habit then became one of getting to bed early so that getting out to the beach by 3AM was the norm rather than the exception."
In the image, one can see Mars, Saturn, the bright star Antares and Comet 252P/Linear. Comet LINEAR was discovered on April 7, 2000, by researchers from the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research program, an MIT Lincoln Laboratory program funded by NASA and the U.S. Air Force. The comet's core is estimated to be 750 feet (230 meters) across.
The image was shot with a mirrorless Sony A6000 and the Sony 18-55mm kit lens. Harper used the Triggertrap app and dongle on his iPhone to shoot 32 - 12 second exposures. They were aligned and stacked using the Hugin app on OS X, then processed in Photoshop.

Nearly a half-million Rohingya from Myanmar have been displaced due to decades of oppression in southwestern Myanmar, according to a new UN report.
The report, published by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHRC) to mark June 20 World Refugee Day, says by the end of 2016 the number of Rohingya refugees rose to 490,300, up from 451,800 the previous year.
The report shows that Bangladesh hosts the largest number of Rohingya, 276,200, with 243,000 of them living in a refugee-like situation.
The Rohingya minority is one of the most oppressed communities in the world, as they have been suffering from a state-run slow-motion cleansing operation in the southwestern Myanmar’s state of Rakhine, according to Human Rights Watch.
The southeastern city of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh hosts Rohingya refugees in two registered and three unregistered camps.
‘International community must take action’
Mirza Taslima Sultana, a researcher at the Refugee and Migratory Movements Research Unit (RMMRU), told Anadolu Agency in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka that the international community should take action to stop the oppression of the Rohingya.
“Bangladesh’s government will have to contact international organizations to stop the Rohingya torture,” she added.
Sultana said that current situation in Myanmar’s Rakhine state makes sending the Rohingya back impossible.
“In the current situation, we cannot send them back to Myanmar. The

“Our children don’t have any future. They can’t get any education,” Rayhan said, adding that they want to return to their homeland “but the international community should ensure our life and basic rights”.
Monjur Mia, a Rohingya living in the Kutupalong unregistered camp near Cox’s Bazar, said he would return to his country after his rights are ensured.
‘We want a normal life’
Dudu Mia, a Rohingya in the Leda unregistered refugee camp in Teknaf, eastern Cox’s Bazar, said Refugee Day means nothing for their lives.
“We have been living in this camp for many years. But the conditions have not improved. We want to live a normal life like other people. We ask the international community to solve the issue so that we can go back to our homes,” he said.
Besides Bangladesh, the countries of Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia also host Rohingya refugees.
Tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled their homes in Rakhine since last
Rohingya have fled Rakhine -- one of the poorest states in Myanmar -- in droves for decades, with a new wave of migrations occurring since mid-2012 after communal violence broke out between ethnic Buddhists and the Muslim Rohingya minority.
Security forces have been accused of gang-rape, killings, beatings, disappearances and burning villages in the Maungdaw area of northern Rakhine since October.
The Rohingya in impoverished Rakhine have been effectively denied citizenship by a 1982 nationality law enacted by Ne Win, a military strongman who staged a coup and whose 1962-1988 leadership saw the adoption of xenophobic policies.
The official term for the unrecognized Rohingya had previously been “Bengali,” which suggests they are not from Myanmar but interlopers from neighboring Bangladesh.Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form.

A suspended Fayette County public schools employee was indicted this week on charges that he sexually abused two children.
Richard Davis Jr., 34, was indicted Tuesday on one count of incest, one count of first-degree sodomy and three counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
Davis, a teacher's aide at Arlington Elementary School, was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation after he was criminally charged in December. He remained on administrative leave Thursday, Fayette County Schools Spokeswoman Lisa Deffendall said.
The alleged assaults did not occur on school property and, as a teacher's aide, Davis would not have been alone with children on school property, officials have said.
According a police report, Davis "had deviate sexual intercourse" with a girl under 12 and subjected her to sexual contact over a period of about a year. According to the indictment issued by a grand jury this week, two additional charges of sexual abuse were added for alleged sexual contact with a second child.
Davis, who pleaded not guilty to the original charges in District Court, is scheduled for his first Circuit Court hearing March 8.

Tell us what you would like to do in Cuba, and we will make all of the arrangements. Take advantage of our knowledge and experience, and make your […]
Welcome to Jardines del Rey (East)
Visiting Havana is like taking a step back in time, and definitely worth the effort. The beauty of its architecture, its buildings, and the treasures in its museums will all have you slowing down. Havana’s northern border is coastline, with over six miles of excellent beaches, and an extensive greenbelt that surrounds the city, and guarantees its environmental health. The oldest section of the city, Old Havana, is also its most well-known, and it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Old Havana has many city squares, the principal ones being the “Plaza de Armas,” the “Plaza de la Catedral,” the “Plaza Vieja,” and the “Plaza de San Francisco de Asis,” which maintain a colonial era look reminiscent of way they look at the time of the city’s founding in 1519. The system of fortresses that surround the city, including the emblematic “Castillo del Morro,” consist of a total of nine major structures, considered by experts to be the largest such fortifications in all of Latin America.
The five-hundred-year old city also has emblematic streets such as the “Paseo del Prado,” and the well-known “Alameda de Paula,” both constructed in the mid-1800’s, both of which were for many years the city’s most transited streets. Throughout Havana buildings in built in strikingly different architectural styles are right next to each other, and in some cases there are buildings from three different centuries, and quite varied looks on the same block.
Havana has a fairly well developed hotel infrastructure, with over ten thousand hotel rooms, and hotels that span over two hundred years of construction. From the modern Melia Cohiba, to the one hundred plus year old Hotel Inglaterra. Havana also has over thirty museums, ten art galleries, twenty-five theatres or performance halls, such as the National Ballet of Cuba, housed in what was originally the members only social club for emigrants from the Spanish Province of Galicia.
The Casa the las Americas is another well-known Havana landmark, and is still used to this day as the venue for film festivals, exhibitions, book expositions, and more.
The Havana neighborhood of Vedado is the focal point of activities amongst locals twenty-four hours a day. It is the place Cubans choose to meet, in its wide variety of restaurants, bars, nightclubs, theatres, offices and hotels. The western suburb of Miramar was the neighborhood of Cuba’s wealthiest citizens before the 1959 revolution, and to this day its majestic homes maintain their stately appeal. The densely populated neighborhood of El Cerro, which houses a great deal of the city’s population in multilevel buildings. Central Havana, home to the famous Cayo Hueso neighborhood, which is home to the charismatic and unique Callejon de Hamel.

Content note: this piece contains gory imagery symbolizing heartbreak.
It’s easy to get distracted. It’s easy to start consuming. It’s easy for everything to become confusing. It’s easy to mistake typing for writing. It’s easy to forget how to write, but it’s just as easy to remember (in theory). I’m easy, some would say, yet my heart is locked away. I say I’ll date again when the pandemic ends and my date says if. I say I’ll lock my heart in an icy cold container for the winter and, if it feels right, let it out in the spring.
None of my recent romances have worked out. Last year, I wrote a poem about how we would keep each other warm for the winter. Aside from moving into an overheated house with no access to the thermostat, we absolutely did not do that.
I tried to fall in love twice last summer. I succeeded once and then had my heart cracked open over concrete. I ran inside just in time for my blood to spray across the walls and leak from the rapidly beating organ onto a floor that desperately needed retiling. I tried. I gave it my best. I really did.
For the past while, I’ve been jumping into bed with whoever spares me some attention. I jumped into bed with a boy who was not supposed to be a boyfriend. We made an agreement. Then a few months passed and he became a boyfriend. A few more and we moved in together. He hated going outside. My mother said that was a warning sign.
Like everyone else, I pay too much rent. I watch the world unravel out the window. I become a hyperventilating, vibrating creature. My heart continues beating, but it beats in the wrong ways. I am no longer human. Instead, I am fear, I am anxiety. I scroll through timelines and feel my guts churn. The world is burning, literally in some places. I cannot do anything. I cannot move. I share stories on Instagram, for all the good that will do. I follow the government’s orders and continue to stay inside. My heart breaks open, and I bake its juices into a cherry pie. No one will know what’s inside.
Wow, it’s so sweet! They’ll say. And there’s something else…
Something more substantial as well.

BirdseyeLike the bald eagles that can be seen soaring over the Patoka reservoir, the C52 Raptor Fund caught the attention of Patrick O\'Keefe of Jasper and members of his family.The C52 Raptor Fund was established earlier this year as a way of getting money to help pay the costs of medical care for C52, the resident bald eagle at Patoka.It was a tragedy in the O\'Keefe family that caused Patrick to take note of the eagles. Patrick\'s 29-year-old son, Sean, drowned at the property\'s Lick Fork last year. The O\'Keefes spent hours at the scene while conservation officers searched for Sean\'s body."As my family sat and watched and waited," Patrick said, "as we were at the dock, we were fortunate enough to have some light moments because of the activity of the eagles at Patoka. ... It became something that we looked for on a daily basis to help us get through it."When the C52 Raptor Fund was announced by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the O\'Keefes saw a way to repay the positive acts that had been directed to them at the time of their loss."We gave two donations," Patrick said, "both of them in honor of my son — one in the name of my family and the other in the name of all the conservation officers of District 7 and District 8 (who helped in recovering Sean\'s body)."The C52 fund was established not only for the resident eagle, but also to pay the veterinary costs for two of the eagle\'s friends who also reside at Patoka after suffering injuries that made them unlikely candidates for surviving in the wild. One is a red-tailed hawk. The other is a barred owl.Tom Riley, recreation specialist at Patoka, is one of two Patoka employees who handle the birds. Riley and longtime park naturalist and primary raptor handler Maria Abel-Crecelius are responsible for taking the raptors to Louisville, Ky., for periodic checkups with Dr. Sam Vaughn at Veterinary Associates Stonefield.Riley reports Hoosiers are responding to the request for donations needed to pay the bills."It hasn\'t done too bad," Riley said. "There for a while, we were averaging at least one donation a day. It might be $5 or $10. It was real common to get a $25 check."He added, "We may be up over $1,000. The goal was $10,000. In that short period of time, that\'s pretty encouraging."While Riley hopes the money won\'t be needed for any serious injuries or medical conditions, he will take comfort in knowing there are some funds in place."The birds are very important to our interpretive program," Riley said, "and to the state as a whole."C52 already has experienced some unusual troubles. Last October, the eagle injured his left foot and required tests, medication, surgery and a nine-day recovery at Vaughn\'s office. Riley said those bills topped $3,000.It\'s important, Riley said, to have funds in reserve just in case a serious problem arises.It\'s a given that the property\'s barred owl will rack up some medical expenses. The owl is in need of surgery on an injured eye."We haven\'t scheduled it," Vaughn said, "but it\'s forthcoming."The eye is not functioning, Vaughn said."It remains a source of irritation and infection in her skull. We need to take all of that leftover eye matter," he explained.The owl, meanwhile, doesn\'t care about the eye because it hasn\'t functioned in such a long time, according to Vaughn."She\'ll probably feel a lot better because she doesn\'t have this weeping, gaping hole," he added.Riley doesn\'t want to wait too long for the owl\'s surgery. "I want to get her down there real soon. It\'s not something we want to let go. ... Hopefully, we can tap into some of the donated money and get her taken care of in real short order."The owl caused what Vaughn referred to earlier as "a little adrenaline rush" during its January checkup. Vaughn was performing a procedure to check for a fungus and the owl stopped breathing. Vaughn performed mouth-to-beak resuscitation until the bird resumed breathing on her own.Riley said he was not aware of any other injured raptors being used for educational programs at other DNR properties in the state. A raptor rehabilitation program, however, is in place at Hardy Lake, a DNR property in Scott County.

What Makes Organic Oats A Breakfast Essential?
When it comes to starting your day off on the right foot, there’s one breakfast option that stands out for its health benefits and versatility: organic oats. Packed with nutrients and bursting with flavour, organic oats have become a breakfast essential for health-conscious individuals.
In this article, we’ll delve into the reasons why organic oats should earn a permanent spot in your morning routine.
The Organic Difference
Organic oats are not just any oats; they’re grown and produced using methods that prioritise the health of both consumers and the environment. Unlike conventionally grown oats, organic oats are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This ensures that your morning meal is free from harmful chemicals and provides a wholesome start to your day.
One of the standout reasons for choosing organic oats is their impressive nutritional profile. Rich in fibre, protein, and essential vitamins and minerals, these oats offer a well-rounded nutrient boost. Fiber in organic oats aids digestion and helps you feel full for longer, making it an excellent choice for weight management. Additionally, the protein content in organic oats provides sustained energy throughout the morning, keeping you focused and productive.
Heart Health and Beyond
Organic oats are particularly renowned for their heart-healthy benefits. The soluble fibre, known as beta-glucan, found in oats has been linked to reduced cholesterol levels. By incorporating organic oats into your breakfast routine, you’re taking a proactive step towards supporting cardiovascular health. Moreover, this fibre also contributes to steady blood sugar levels, making organic oats an ideal option for individuals managing diabetes or those looking to prevent blood sugar spikes.
Antioxidants are essential for protecting our bodies from harmful free radicals and oxidative stress. Organic oats contain a variety of antioxidants, including avenanthramides. These unique compounds have been associated with anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties, making organic oats a beauty food as well. So, by savouring a bowl of organic oatmeal, you’re not just nourishing your body on the inside but also promoting radiant skin.
Versatility on Your Plate
What makes organic oats truly versatile is their ability to blend seamlessly into a variety of dishes. From the classic bowl of oatmeal topped with fresh berries and nuts to oat-based smoothies, pancakes, and even savory oat risottos, the possibilities are endless. This versatility ensures that you’ll never get bored with your breakfast options, and you can keep experimenting with new recipes to suit your taste buds.
Conscious Farming for a Greener Planet
By choosing organic oats, you’re not only prioritising your health but also contributing to a greener planet. Organic farming practices focus on sustainable methods that minimise environmental impact. These methods help conserve soil quality, reduce water usage, and support biodiversity. So, with each spoonful of organic oatmeal, you’re taking a step towards supporting a more sustainable and eco-friendly food system.
Finding Quality Organic Oats
When seeking out the best organic oats, it’s essential to look for reputable brands that carry organic certifications. As labels ensure that the product meets strict organic standards. These certifications guarantee that the oats are free from synthetic chemicals and are grown using environmentally friendly practices.
There’s no denying the numerous benefits that organic oats bring to the breakfast table. From their nutritional richness to their heart-protective qualities and versatile nature, organic oats have rightfully earned their place as a breakfast essential. By incorporating them into your morning routine, you’re nourishing your body, supporting your health goals, and making a positive impact on the environment.
So, the next time you’re pondering over what to have for breakfast, remember that a bowl of organic oats might be the most wholesome and delicious choice you can make.

Pacific Gas & Electric will plead guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter for a swath of death and destruction left behind after its fraying electrical grid ignited a 2018 wildfire that decimated three Northern California towns. The fire and its aftermath also drove the nation's largest utility into bankruptcy. The plea agreement announced Monday resolves the charges facing PG&E as part of a previously sealed indictment in Butte County, the AP reports. PG&E is serving a five-year criminal probation after its conviction on six felony counts involving a natural gas explosion that killed eight people in San Bruno, California. As with that conviction, no one from PG&E will go to prison for the felony crimes. Instead, the agreement with the Butte County District Attorney's office calls for PG&E to pay a $4 million fine, the maximum. It will also help pay to restore access to water for residents affected by the loss of a canal destroyed by what became known as the Camp Fire.
"We cannot replace all that the fire destroyed, but our hope is that this plea agreement, along with our rebuilding efforts, will help the community move forward from this tragic incident," PG&E CEO Bill Johnson said. District Attorney Mike Ramsey said he hopes the plea agreement will bring "a bit of a sense of justice done." Butte County officials have pegged the wildfire's death toll at 85, but Ramsey disclosed Monday that further evidence cast doubt about whether one of the deaths was directly caused by the blaze. PG&E is scheduled to enter its plea and face sentencing on April 24. The Nov. 8, 2018, fire was fanned by strong winds, forcing thousands of people to flee in their cars as flames ripped through the canyon communities. The dead were found in burned-out cars and in the smoldering ruins of their homes.

Problem gambling has many negative consequences. It can be both physically and psychologically destructive. It is classified as an impulse-control disorder, and can cause problems in various areas of a person’s life. Among the possible consequences of problem gambling are migraine, intestinal disorders, and depression. It can also lead to feelings of despondency and helplessness, and in extreme cases, suicide attempts. For this reason, seeking treatment for gambling addiction should be a top priority for anyone who suspects they might have an addiction.
There are several types of therapy available for people with a gambling disorder. Self-help groups use peer support and physical activity to combat gambling. Individual therapy can be highly effective for individuals who are looking for a way to overcome a gambling disorder. Behavioral therapy helps reduce urges to gamble, while cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to change a person’s thinking. In addition to this, recognizing the positive qualities of a partner can help a person overcome gambling disorders.
Gambling involves wagering money or other valuables on an uncertain event. The outcomes of gambling are sometimes determined by chance, or may be the result of a bettor’s miscalculation. The object of gambling is to win something in return for your money, or to win a prize. Whether you gamble at home with friends or in a casino, you should consider the risks involved. You might be lucky one day, and lose everything.
Many jurisdictions ban or heavily regulate gambling. This can result in gambling tourism and illegal gambling in banned areas. However, the amount of money wagered each year by legal and illegal gambling may be more. There are many forms of gambling that are widely popular around the world, with lotteries being one of the most popular. In the United States, state-licensed lotteries began to spread rapidly in the late 20th century. In addition, organized football pools are found in most European countries, a few South American nations, and a handful of African and Asian countries. Similarly, most countries offer state-licensed wagering on sports and other events.
Gambling addiction can lead to serious consequences for a person’s life. Besides causing emotional distress, it can have negative consequences for relationships and work. It may even lead to financial collapse. In addition to financial losses, people may even steal money to fund their gambling. The problem with gambling addiction is so deep that it is often difficult to recover from. If you’re experiencing the effects of gambling addiction, you can seek help. Consult a qualified gambling counsellor today. It’s free and confidential.
While gambling is not for everyone, it is not entirely negative. In fact, most people have a taste for gambling at one time or another. If you’re an investor, the odds will eventually be in your favor. Investing involves the allocation of capital and the expectation of income or price appreciation. In both cases, risk and return go hand-in-hand. In gambling, higher returns will usually mean a higher risk. Despite the high risks involved, gambling is a fun way to relieve stress and unwind.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Apple’s new iPad Pro is the most powerful iPad you can buy in 2018. It is perfect for professionals and artists as it gets the job done with more comfort and ease. As a tablet, it gives a superior level of portability and on the hardware front, you won’t find anything that matches with its performance. Despite having all the essential features and hardware power that advanced users want from a professional grade tablet, Apple’s new iPad Pro has a serious problem – iOS.
Artists and professionals can use the new iPad Pro for their projects and that too without connecting a keyboard and mouse. Problems arise when you try to use the device as a PC replacement. The whole experience of using the new iPad Pro as a laptop is frustrating and inconvenient. The device runs onApple’s iOS platform and that’s why it feels limited. Despite having a lot of powerful hardware components, the iPad Pro fails to convince due to the limited features and functionality offered by the operating system.
The new iPad Pro comes in two sizes 11-inch and 12.9inch. Apple now uses a new metallic flat band that helps improve the antenna for LTE connectivity and perfectly wraps around the device’s body. The rounded corners give the iPad Pro a familiar look and feel, while the speakers sitting on the top and bottom edges make it stand out from the pack. There’s a new USB-C port at the bottom, and on top, a 12-megapixel shooter sits in the middle.
Apple has also introduced a new Pencil for the iPad Pro and it sits on the right side of the device and supports wireless charging. Magnets on the body allow users to attach keyboards and Apple Pencil to the device. Both the 11-inch and 12.9-inch displays offer an impressive resolution at 264 PPI. As far as the design is concerned, Apple’s new iPad Pro looks beautiful. The surrounding bezels are thin and as expected, the iPad Pro doesn’t feature a TouchID button as the company now uses Face ID for logins and AR features like Animoji. The new iPad Pro also features a TrueDepth camera to handle Face ID and photography.
The new iPad Pro doesn’t include a headphone jack which is strange because artists, especially those who compose music and edit videos, are not happy with this decision. The USB-C port now handles the device’s connectivity with 3.5mm headphone jack. Inside the new iPad Pro, there is a powerful A12 Bionic chip that performs faster than every other chip Apple has released in the past. According to Apple, the performance of the device is even faster than most laptops sold in 2017. Several benchmark tests and hands-on review verdicts have confirmed that performance lags are nonexistent on Apple’s new iPad Pro.
With all the power and design improvements, the iPad Pro is beautiful and its speed is amazing. There are many advantages of buying this device, but on the software front, the new iPad Pro fails very badly. Apple’s iOS 12 is still far from becoming a true desktop operating system. The software is impressive and it makes navigation easy, but when it comes to functional tasks, things become complex. From unzipping files to using the keyboard for typing, there’s so much more that you can’t easily do on the new iPad Pro. A large number of apps support the iOS, but not all of them obey Apple’s design restrictions. As a result, using iPad for even small tasks can become complicated at times.
Apple has given everything to the new iPad Pro, but they haven’t designed the operating system for basic functionalities that laptops offer. For pro users, the new iPad fails to be a primary device. It is good when you’re traveling or want to get some light work done, but for more professional features and functionality, laptops are still irreplaceable. Here’s our take on what iPad and Surface tablets need to replace PCs.

Jeff Asch has enjoyed a well-known broadcasting career, but he may have difficulty topping the moment last week when a family event took place at one of the iconic sports arenas in the country.
For only the second time in his career, Asch served as a public address announcer at the Palestra, but what made this event more special is that his son David was working at the same venue.
The event was Saturday’s game between Temple and Drexel, in which the Owls won 82-64. David is a junior at Temple and served as the analyst for WHIP, the school radio station, which broadcast the game.
“It was such a huge thing for them to be at the same time working at the Palestra,” said Susan Asch, Jeff’s wife and David’s mother, who attended the game along with her son Michael, a freshman at Elon. “I know how excited both were about it, and they are both so passionate about what they do, and it was great.”
For the game, father and son were far apart. Jeff was courtside, in his regular role as the PA announcer for Drexel’s men and women basketball teams. His last game at the Palestra was ten years ago when the Dragons played St. Joseph’s.
David broadcast from high atop the arena. This was the first time he called a game at the Palestra.
“Being able to announce a game at the Palestra is something I took off my bucket list,” David said afterwards. “Being able to hear my dad in the background was like a cherry on top."
Jeff Asch has run the gamut in broadcasting. Among his duties, he used to host his own sports show on WCAU radio and also is a former reporter and producer at Channel 10. For the past 20 years he has been a radio sports and news anchor at KYW. Besides being Drexel’s PA announcer, he is a PA announcer at Eagles home games.
He admitted to having some pre-game jitters before Saturday’s game, but for a different reason than one would expect.
“I was really nervous for David, more than myself to be honest and he said it went great and I am just thrilled,” Jeff Asch said. “I couldn’t be happier.’
This was not the first time that father and son have worked in the same venue. They had a memorable occasion a few years ago, when Jeff and David broadcast a high school football game on the Wissahickon school channel. Jeff handled play-by-play and David was the color analyst. Another of Jeff’s sons, Michael, served as the sideline reporter, making it a true family affair.
“I cried the whole three hours, it was such a father-son moment,” Jeff said. “We were the broadcast team for the game.”
While they weren’t a team on Saturday, the moment will likely strike an emotional chord whenever Jeff thinks about it.
“I think it is a memory we will both have the rest of our lives,” Jeff said. “To be able to do what we did in this building, the fact it was here because of the history and the fact that everybody knows the Palestra and everybody wants to perform at the Palestra."
Then beaming with pride as he recalled his big day, Jeff added, “Today David and I performed at the Palestra.”

Improving safety and recreation at Montello Dam
When traffic was diverted for safety reasons across the Montello Dam embankment during a storm, the weight of the traffic showed that the embankment condition was poor. This sparked engineering studies that confirmed the embankment needed improvements for stability. We reconstructed the embankment and spillway to increase stability and reduce the risk of failure. In the process, we used a vibrating beam slurry wall for the first time on a Wisconsin dam. Using this technology saved approximately $2 million in overall project costs.
Our design replaced the earthen dike and flattened the slopes. We also replaced the overflow and gated spillways using granite stone facings to maintain the historical look and significance. We collaborated with Wisconsin DNR to reduce impacts to surrounding wetlands. With the DNR, we also improved the recreational facilities. The community gained new fishing piers, a rebuilt boat launch, and parking lots. We incorporated a four-step fish ladder into the design to pass migratory fish through the dam.

Mead & Hunt merged seamlessly with our team members, many of whom had already been working on the project for four years. They championed for an alternative technology that ended up decreasing construction duration and limited adjacent environmental impacts. The project came in just over $3 million – under the $9 million project budget – and I am certain a significant portion of that savings was associated with the vibratory beam slurry wall technology Mead & Hunt suggested.

Civil Aviation Ministry considering to fly fixed wing planes on routes under 150 km in certain areas.
Mumbai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is working on plans under which it is considering to allow flights under Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik or UDAN scheme for more smaller towns. The affordable regional flight scheme would now be extended to seasonal flights, according to a report in The Times of India.
"Allowing seasonal flights under regional connectivity scheme (RCS) is among the six changes being considered for which stakeholder views have been sought," TOI quoted aviation secretary R N Choubey as saying.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has also indicated it would rope in fixed wing planes for plying them on smaller routes under 150-km range in certain areas. It has also sought feedback on total number of seats available under the RCS plan.
"This would include conditions like whether the minimum number and maximum number of RCS seats could be stretched over a period of a week instead of a particular flight," the report said.
The ministry would also explore chances of bringing more number of under-served or unserved regional airports under the ambit of UDAN's RCS scheme. "This is being proposed to further encourage intra-regional connectivity," a government statement said.

BROAD BROOK, Conn. (WTNH) — The Broad Brook Fire Department helped to rescue a horse that became trapped under a fence on Tuesday morning, according to officials.
Fire crews responded to a home after receiving a call regarding an older horse that became stuck under a fence after it slipped and fell at 10:20 a.m.
Officials said the horse had fallen into a position where it was unable to get up on its own, due to its age and the outside terrain.
The Warehouse Point Fire Department to assisted with the rescue to provide extra manpower.
Firefighters were able to work alongside the horse’s owner to maneuver the house out from underneath the fence by dragging it gently up the hill, where it was able to get up on its own.
The Warehouse Point Fire Department said the outcome could have been much worse due to the heat and the horse’s age.
There were no injuries to the horse or fire crews, according to the Broad Brook Fire Department.

There are two different types of leg length discrepancies, congenital and acquired. Congenital implies you are born with it. One leg is structurally shorter compared to the other. Through
developmental periods of aging, the brain picks up on the walking pattern and recognizes some variance. The entire body typically adapts by tilting one shoulder over to the "short" side. A difference
of under a quarter inch isn't blatantly excessive, demand Shoe Lifts to compensate and ordinarily won't have a profound effect over a lifetime.
Leg length inequality goes largely undiscovered on a daily basis, however this issue is easily remedied, and can eliminate many incidents of back pain.
Therapy for leg length inequality commonly consists of Shoe Lifts. Many are very reasonably priced, normally being less than twenty dollars, in comparison to a custom orthotic of $200 if not more.
Differences over a quarter inch can take their toll on the spine and should probably be compensated for with a heel lift. In some cases, the shortage can be so extreme that it requires a full lift to
both the heel and sole of the shoe.
Mid back pain is the most widespread ailment affecting people today. Around 80 million people suffer from back pain at some stage in their life. It is a problem which costs employers huge amounts of
money year after year as a result of time lost and output. Fresh and better treatment solutions are always sought after in the hope of minimizing the economical impact this issue causes.
Men and women from all corners of the earth experience foot ache as a result of leg length discrepancy. In these cases Shoe Lifts can be of worthwhile. The lifts are capable of relieving any pain in
the feet. Shoe Lifts are recommended by numerous specialist orthopaedic doctors.
To be able to support the human body in a well-balanced manner, your feet have a vital role to play. Irrespective of that, it's often the most overlooked area in the body. Many people have flat-feet
which means there is unequal force placed on the feet. This will cause other body parts like knees, ankles and backs to be impacted too. Shoe Lifts
guarantee that suitable posture and balance are restored.
