Scientists have been trying their best to turn algae into the biofuel of the 21st century, and now the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) wants to put some serious muscle behind all that research. That muscle translates into $78 million of federal funding split between two biofuel consortia, according to an announcement today by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
The DOE's edgy science lab ARPA-E has already doled out millions to companies large and small working on energy-related projects. But this represents a sizeable investment in a biofuel that scientists have long-considered the one with the greatest potential payoff.
Both biofuel consortia represent many of the biggest players in private industry and academia working on algae. The National Alliance for Advanced Biofuels and Bioproducts gets $44 million to figure out ways of growing enough algae, harvesting efficiently and converting algae into a fuel-ready state. The second consortium, the National Advanced Biofuels Consortium, received almost $39 million to develop end-product biofuels from algae and other biomass.
We've looked at plenty of possible solutions for all parts of the algae production equation, such as feeding and squeezing fish for algae oil. Another group of researchers has modified algae for a different green energy purpose -- creating clean, easy hydrogen fuel. And some companies have even seized upon algae as the plastic of the future, rather than a biofuel.
Almost any and all algae uses sound good to us. But we might balk at an algae food product named soylent green.
Great idea, though we really should move away from biofuels too, at least algea isn't a food source for people.
The "law" of unintended consequences will raise it ugly head. Has anyone considered the effect on the food chain, if said algae escape their open-air confines?
don't know if you realize this or not but we already have algae in water.
How right you are, Azorus! Soylent Green was people!
Just registered and was asked what interests I had. Didn't have my check off which is "anything Glenn Reynolds (instapundit) links.
I think this would be fantastic for farm raised fish. The primary source of omega 3 is salmon and other cold water fish. Algae is a food source for people although indirectly. And an important one.
Safe and reliable inclosed systems such as the one manufactured and distributed by American companies like Biocentric Energy located in southern California and praised by the American Algae Association as the Wall Mart of algae systems are already in full steam and leading the way into the future of clean green energy using the CO2 toxic waste that industry can use to minimize their carbon footprint with.

Xavier’s state title means much more than lifting a trophy for Mary Kate Moeder
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) - Mary Kate Moeder and the Xavier Saints won the 4A state title on Saturday, but just playing in Wells Fargo Arena meant the world to the Moeder family.
Xavier Mary Kate Moeder’s father Tony was diagnosed with dementia in 2017. The entire Xavier community rallied around the Moeders, they became “Team Tone.”
In the fall of 2020, Mary Kate tore her ACL playing soccer. It took her over a year to get back on the court, and she still wore a knee brace throughout the 2021-2022 season.
Playing in the state tournament mean fighting through adversity for Moeder. It also meant fulfilling a dream.
“Mary Kate has had this goal since she was in third grade, and she has always dreamed of playing at Wells Fargo Arena,” said Mary Kate’s mother Kathy, who was in attendance on Saturday. “The fact that her and her teammates have made it here is incredible and I tell you right now that little girl is floating on cloud nine.”
Moeder finished with 11 points in the state title game against Bishop Heelan.
“This is way better than I could have ever dreamed of it being,” Moeder said. “I just can’t believe we’re here- I can believe it, but it’s just really surreal that it’s happening now.”

LiuGong Group Signs Strategic Investor Agreements for Mixed-Ownership Reform
December 8, 2020 marked a key milestone for Guangxi Liugong Group Co., Ltd. (“LiuGong Group”). The enterprise held a strategic investor signing ceremony for its mixed-ownership reform project in the Grand Metro Park Hotel in Nanning, China.
LiuGong Group and seven strategic investors signed capital increase, share expansion, and equity transfer agreements totaling 3.192 billion CNY of Guangxi Liugong Machinery Group Co. Ltd. (“LiuGong Machinery”). An employee stock ownership plan was also implemented, which raised another 223 million CNY in capital from 1,274 key employees. The mixed-ownership reform project raised a total of 3.415 billion CNY in capital. Under the new capital structure, 51% of LiuGong Machinery is owned by LiuGong Group, 45.8% is owned by external investors, and 3.2% is owned by employees. The active participation of strategic investors reflects broad stakeholder confidence in LiuGong’s achievements over its 62 year history, as well as its future potential. LiuGong Group’s mixed-ownership reform project was one of the largest in 2020, and serves as an industry benchmark for similar reforms in the construction manufacturing industry in recent years.
“This mixed-ownership reform project is one of the most important we’ve undertaken since the establishment of our first factory in 1958,” said Zeng Guang’an. “It represents a major opportunity and challenge for everyone at the company. The company will work with its seven strategic investors to develop a new model that synergizes the advantages of central and local state-owned enterprises, market-based mechanisms, and coordination with strategic partners. LiuGong will work with its new shareholders to develop more competitive industry partnerships, carry out deep reforms of corporate mechanisms, and inject new vitality into operations to realize its vision.”
With the 13th Five-Year Plan coming to an end, LiuGong is extremely proud of its pandemic prevention efforts in both production and operations. Over the first three quarters of 2020, construction machinery sales increased by 40%; industrial output reached 23.54 billion CNY, representing a year-on-year increase of 39.5%; and operating income reached 19.65 billion CNY, representing a year-on-year increase of 20%.
By entering into these new agreements, LiuGong intends to utilize its new mixed-ownership structure to integrate global resources, improve operation and efficiency, and ensure mutually beneficial cooperation with its partners. The company seeks to fully implement its obligations under the 14th Five-Year Plan, its long-term development goals, and its broader vision for the industry.

LIVINGSTON, NJ — Some of Livingston’s senior citizens participated in “An Afternoon of Art in June” this week. The free art-gallery event displayed the paintings of seniors who regularly gather at the Livingston Gallery frame shop to express their emotions through art and to enjoy each other’s company.
Each week, the frame shop, located on S. Livingston Ave., invites residents of all ages to come express themselves through the art of painting. Paintings that Livingston seniors like John Greco, Angelo Sena and Grace Baker had accomplished over time were displayed at the West Essex YMCA Wednesday for the public to enjoy as a guitarist strolled the room and filled it with old classics.
“What brings me so much joy is that our very talented seniors proudly shared their artwork with our community,” said West Essex YMCA Associate Executive Director Cheryl Francione. “They have so many skills and the world needs to know about them."
Francione said the West Essex YMCA was proud and delighted to provide a venue for the community’s seniors to display their many talents. In January, Francione initiated a fitness program designated to senior citizens and noticed that seniors like Greco, Sena and Baker became quick friends. Once Francione realized that many of them also enjoyed painting together outside the YMCA, she insisted they share their other talents with the community.
According to Greco, who never in his special education and consulting career thought he would pursue painting as a hobby, Francione often goes out of her way to make sure seniors feel involved in the community. As a teacher to elementary school-aged children, Greco has taught art alongside a professional supervisor but never considered the fact that he was an artist himself. Now he calls himself and his gallery colleagues “late-bloomers” when it comes to their artistic abilities.
Many seniors like Sheila McGuire, who graduated Caldwell College as a business major, have become enthusiastic about the weekly painting sessions. She couldn’t wait to display their hard work in public. Greco, who also regularly attends the senior fitness program at the YMCA, spoke highly of McGuire’s enthusiasm and said the experience means more to the group of seniors than just the artistic aspect of it.
“It’s interaction too,” said Greco. “Seniors have a tendency when they get older to pull away, but you’re really interacting with other people. It’s very rewarding and I find it very relaxing.”
Greco and his colleagues encourage aspiring artists of all ages, genders and abilities to join them at the weekly Livingston Gallery meetings for the sole reason that the experience is self-satisfying. Greco said the group often spends hours at the studio painting expressions of their choice, receiving constructive feedback and enjoying the company of fellow artists.
“I find it to be very therapeutic,” said Greco. “It really helps me relax and it brings me a great deal of satisfaction.”
Francione said it is uncanny how a group of seniors can become such a close-knit group of friends. Even during their weekly fitness classes, Francione says it is much more than exercise — it is an opportunity to constantly learn from each other and simply enjoy each other’s company.
“I just adore interacting with our ‘supersonic seniors,’” said Francione. “They are truly the highlight of my day.”

As end users continue to look for ways to achieve marginal growth, playout solutions remain coveted to optimize resources by controlling overhead costs. Among others, broadcasters – including international and national ones – make leading end users of the playout solutions market, with a projected overall share of ~53% in 2019. The rising importance of digital media as an effective advertising platform is likely to drive the adoption of playout solutions from the broadcaster user base. However, irregularities in regulations in different regions could cause a roadblock to the otherwise steady stride of the market.
Key Opportunities to Reap and Grow in the Playout Solutions Market
Two opportunities lay open in the playout solutions market for stakeholders.
Since automation holds the key to a successful future in any industry, the advent of 5G technology will serve as a propeller to automation.

The Kansas University DHA Outcomes Study (KUDOS) found a significant reduction in early preterm births with a supplement of 600 mg DHA per day compared to placebo. The objective of this analysis was to determine if hospital costs differed between groups. We applied a post-hoc cost analysis of the delivery hospitalization and all hospitalizations in the following year to 197 mother-infant dyads who delivered at Kansas University Hospital. Hospital cost saving of DHA supplementation amounted to $1678 per infant. Even after adjusting for the estimated cost of providing 600 mg/d DHA for 26 weeks ($166.48) and a slightly higher maternal care cost ($26) in the DHA group, the net saving per dyad was $1484. Extrapolating this to the nearly 4 million US deliveries per year suggests universal supplementation with 600 mg/d during the last 2 trimesters of pregnancy could save the US health care system up to USD 6 billion.
Preterm birth is defined as birth prior to 37 weeks gestation and in 2013 (the most recent data available) preterm birth accounted for 11.4% of the nearly 4 million births in the US . Perinatal health care costs are significant among preterm neonates , but are particularly high for infants born before 34 weeks gestation (called early preterm birth or ePTB), who accounted for ~3% of US 2014 births. Two recent randomized trials of DHA supplementation in pregnancy found that women assigned to a relatively large supplement of DHA had a significant reduction in EBP compared to the placebo group [3, 4]. A recent meta-analysis by Kar et al.  included 6 trials that evaluated the effect of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on ePTB and concluded omega-3 fatty acids reduced ePTB by 58%.
An analysis of hospital cost from the DHA to Optimize Mother and Infant Outcome (DOMInO) trial conducted in Australia and published in this journal last year determined DHA supplements could decrease individual hospital costs by AUD 92 with a savings to the public hospital system of between AUD 15 and 51 million per year . In the US, the incidence of ePTB is higher than in Australia. That coupled with a larger number of US pregnancies per year suggests cost savings of DHA supplementation could be even more substantial in the US. Our objective was to determine the hospital costs for a subset of mother-infant dyads in the Kansas University DHA Outcomes Study (KUDOS) and to estimate the possible national hospital cost and net savings after including the cost of universal supplementation with 600 mg DHA per day for 26 weeks of pregnancy. We extrapolated these results to suggest the potential savings to the US health care system of supplementing all US pregnant women with 600 mg per day of DHA.
Pregnant women who enrolled in KUDOS and their newborn infants are the subjects of this study. Trial results of DHA supplementation on pregnancy outcomes have been reported elsewhere . Briefly, women were randomly assigned to consume 3 capsules per day containing either a placebo (corn and soybean mixture) or a total of 600 mg DHA (DHASCO, DSM, Baltimore, MD) from a mean of 14.5 weeks gestation until they gave birth. Enrollment occurred between 2006 and 2010 and all participants were from the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, which has a population of approximately 2 million people. Participants for whom delivery data were available self-identified as Black (42%) or from another race (61.2%). While we did not find a significant reduction in birth before 37 weeks (8.8 vs 7.8% in the placebo and DHA groups, respectively), there was a significant reduction in ePTB (4.8 vs. 0.6% for placebo and DHA groups, respectively). Additionally, we did not find overall differences in the rate of admissions to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but infants in the placebo group admitted to the NICU spent a mean of 38.4 days in hospital compared to 7.8 days for the DHA group admitted to the NICU .
To address our objective of examining hospital costs, we applied a post-hoc cost analysis to the subset of mother-infant dyads (n=197) from the trial who delivered in the Kansas University Hospital and had available admission data. We included cost incurred at the time of birth as well as cost that occurred for the mother and/or baby for any hospital readmissions in the year following initial hospital discharge. We used the Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) for each admission to assign cost from the HCUP Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 2010 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. (2015). Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) [Data file]. Available from: http://hcupnet.ahrq.gov/). Because inpatient utilization data from surrounding hospitals was not available, we could not obtain the DRG and assign costs to 104 mother-infant dyads that participated in the study but delivered outside of the University hospital.
Statistical comparisons between groups were done by simple t-test for means or simple linear regression.
The cost of providing each woman with a DHA supplement of 600 mg per day for the last 26 weeks of pregnancy was also calculated. Cost was determined by the average retail price of three on-line websites (21st Century Prenatal DHA, Nordic Natural Prenatal and GNC DHA 600) and averaged $166.48/pregnancy or $6.40/week. We calculated cost, cost-benefit ratio, net benefit, net benefit ratio and return on investment associated with the use of DHA supplementation.
Demographic and hospital resource use are shown in Table 1. Demographic data did not differ between the subset with admission data at Kansas University Hospital and women enrolled in the study who gave birth at other hospitals in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area (n=53 and 51, respectively for placebo and DHA-supplemented groups, data not shown).
In considering the infants, there was a hospitalization cost savings of $1678 in the DHA-supplemented group compared to the placebo group for birth and readmissions in the first year. Based on the estimated cost of supplementation, the cost-benefit ratio was 10.1:1 meaning that for every dollar invested in DHA supplements, there was a 10.1 -fold return in hospital cost savings for infants in the first year. Even reducing the savings by the cost of providing all pregnant women with 600 mg per day of DHA from 14 weeks gestation until birth, the net cost benefit would be a savings of $1512 per infant or an overall return of 9.1 or 910%.
We also assessed the hospitalization costs for mothers to determine if the cost for mothers’ hospitalization differed by group. Regarding mothers only, overall delivery and readmission costs were $26 higher in the DHA-supplement group as compared to the control.
Infants in the control group had longer lengths of stay and perinatal hospitalization costs, though not significantly (p = 0.215 and p = 0.441). As expected, admission to the NICU was related to a significant increase in length of stay (NICU coefficient = 20.41, t-test =7.764, p = 0.0000), however, there was not a differences between the groups in NICU admissions, which were actually somewhat higher in the DHA group (7.4% placebo, 10.7% DHA). For infants admitted to the NICU, however, the length of stay was longer in the placebo group and the difference between the groups approached statistical significance: group coefficient = 2.907, t-test = 2.907, p = 0.057.
We don't have details of the procedures more common in the highest 10% of cost users as the costs were assigned at the DRG level. The range was the same in both groups, with roughly 70% of each treatment arm having the lowest DRG cost ($972) while 1.9% of the DHA group had the highest DRG cost ($60,302) and 4.3% of the placebo group had the highest DRG cost ($60,302).
A higher percentage of infants and mothers in the placebo group compared to the DHA group were re-hospitalized during their first year of life. Combined index and readmission costs for mother-infant pairs totaled $8,615 ± 11,331 and $10,267 ± 17,503 for the DHA-supplemented and control group, respectively (p = 0.429).
Applying this analysis to 3,988,076 live births in the US in 2014 (the latest year for which figures are available)  suggests a potential savings of USD 6.60 billion for hospital costs and a net savings of USD 5.94 billion to the US health care system if all pregnant women were provided with 600 mg of DHA per day during the last 26 weeks of pregnancy. Even after adding the slightly higher cost for hospitalization of women supplemented with DHA to the lower cost of hospitalization for infants of DHA-supplemented mothers, the difference between the groups still results in a potential hospital savings of USD 6.50 billion and the net savings USD 5.84 billion nationally.
Overall differences in hospitalization resources, while not statistically significant, were consistent with the primary trial findings . DHA resulted in appreciable savings in this cohort. The magnitude of the cost offset in this small study suggests the potential for a substantial return on investment with widespread use of DHA supplementation during pregnancy. The amount that DHA supplementation reduced the average cost of infant hospitalization is particularly large given that most pregnancies in both groups were uncomplicated and had a much lower cost. These normal deliveries also contributed to the large error term for mean cost.
If similar differences were found in other US pregnancies, the potential savings to the health care system would be in the neighborhood of USD 6.6 billion. This number could be conservative as costs for ePTB alone increased substantially between 2010 and 2013, the latest year for which figures are available (http://hcupnet.ahrq.gov/). The difference between mean national cost for a normal newborn delivery and the at most risk premature delivery increased from USD 79,260 in 2010 to USD 96,676 in 2013. With an estimated 110,000 ePTB in 2013, the additional cost for these births alone currently comes close to USD 10.6 billion.
The most recent ePTB rate in the US for all races is 2.75%, down from 2.96% in the years KUDOS was conducted. Interestingly, if we assume this rate and the 58% reduction in ePTB by long chain omega-3 fatty acid supplementation observed in the Kar et al.  meta-analysis, we come up with a potential savings of USD 6.15 billion for ePTB alone based on an estimated current cost of ePTB of USD 10.6 billion. The savings could be even higher if one considers subsequent long-term expenditures for special education services associated with disabling conditions common among premature infants. For example, Mangham et al.  estimated the full cost for all preterm infants and for very preterm and extremely preterm infants in the UK from birth to 18 years of age. The total cost of PTB using 2006 figures from the UK was USD 4.567 billion with 92% of cost related to the birth hospitalization.
Forty-two percent of the women enrolled in KUDOS were Black  which is higher than the national average of 16%. This could overstate our estimated finding because Black women in the US are more likely to have PTB and ePTB (4.6% in 2014) (http://hcupnet.ahrq.gov/). Their rate of ePTB is similar to the rate of 4.8% we found in the placebo group of KUDOS. White and Asian women in the US have rates of ePTB of 2.4 and 2.2%, respectively, very close to the 2.25% observed in the placebo group of DOMInO.
The DOMInO study cost analysis found that the reduction in cost with DHA supplementation was driven by reducing the number of infants with the lowest cost associated with birth and not with reducing premature births ; however, we find no difference between the groups in the proportion of births with the lowest DRG cost, and a near significant difference favoring DHA supplementation in reducing births with the highest DRG cost.
While we undertook this analysis because of the reduction in ePTB in the KUDOS trial, the overall number of pregnancies assessed is relatively small and the number of ePTB in the study was small. Moreover, the majority of ePTB in the placebo group were not among the pregnancies available for this cost analysis as 4 of the 7 ePTB deliveries took place in other hospitals in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area. Therefore, we do not believe a strong conclusion can be drawn that the differences in cost we observed are due to a reduction in ePTB in the DHA group.
A strength of our analysis is that we included costs for maternal hospitalization for the birth and the year following birth; and reduced the estimated savings by the cost of providing the DHA supplement used in KUDOS.
Ahmed et al.  conclude that a public policy effort to increase DHA intake of pregnant women could save up to AUD 51 million. We determined here that a similar public policy in the US could potentially generate savings of more than USD 6 billion. In conclusion, we agree with our Australian colleagues who conducted the DOMInO trial  and cost analysis  that a public health policy to increase DHA intake during pregnancy could result in significant cost savings to the health care system in our country.

|Abstract:||A new alkaline-stable anionic boron imidazolate framework, CdB(im)4(btec)0.5·H2O (BIF-89, im = imidazolate, btec = benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate), was designed and synthesized. The resulting BIF-89 with a three-dimensional molecular structure exhibits a unique mechanochromic behavior with a maximum emission blue shift of about 23 nm in the blue emitting range. Additionally, the uncoordinated carboxylic groups in the BIF-89 framework can stabilize incorporation of Fe(III) at the atomic level to form Fe-immobilized BIF-89 (Fe@BIF-89), which can serve as an effective electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction in strongly alkaline media. The new BIF-89 expands the field of MOFs to luminescence mechanochromism and electrocatalytic applications without involving precious metals.|

The highlight of the week is a two-volume 5475 (1714 or 1715) Amsterdam edition of Sefer ha-Zohar, pre-owned and signed by D. L. Pereira (David Haim Pereira). Notice the date in the chronogram converted and transcribed by hand “Año 5475”, very likely the same that signed the title page. The book is heavily annotated. Below is an image of the title page verso containing notes on festivals. Marginal notes are interspersed throughout the rest of both volumes.
The books are part of Sir Moses Montefiore’s library, previously held at Ramsgate in Kent and Jews’ College in London, now with us as part of the Foyle-Montefiore Collection acquired in 2006. Both volumes were rebound at some point in the 19th century, and their front boards adorned with an oval gold-stamp decoration of Yeshivat Ohel Mosheh ve-Yehudit Ramsget. It is not clear how this early 18th century edition of Zohar found its way into the library of Sir Moses Montefiore.
The previous owner of Sefer ha-Zohar, D. L. Pereira, David Lopez Pereira, otherwise known as David Haim Pereira, spent the later years of his life in Saint Mary Whitechapel, Middlesex. If identified correctly, he was the son of Manuel (known also as Isaac) Lopes Pereira and a grandson of David Lopes Pereira (Duarte Lopes Pereira) of Almendra, Portugal. The history of the Pereira family is fascinating. In 1629, D. L.’s grandmother Francisca was prosecuted by the Spanish Inquisition at Avila, and survived the ordeal. The family then subsequently moved several times to and within Holland (Rouen, Antwerp, Middleburg), lived at some point also in Bordeaux, France. In 1655, they arrived in London, where Manuel (Isaac) Lopes Pereira has become a treasurer and then also a warden of the London Congregation, gradually acquiring stock in sea trade companies and local banks. D. L. Pereira, it seems, inherited parts if not all of this, and is mentioned in Farber as one of the Jewish investors in the Royal African Company (engaged in transatlantic slave trade), and the Bank of England, 1702-12. To some, it might be of interest to know that his Will (17 March 1756) is held at the National Archives in Kew, and available for download at a small fee.
 Eli Farber’s Jews, Slaves, and the Slave Trade: Setting the Record Straight (NYU Press, 1998), p. . On the Jewish involvement in transatlantic slave trade focusing on the British empire.

OBELISKS. On the South Head Peninsula - see Navigation Markers and the South Head Road.
ODDFELLOWS HALL - No. 38 Queen St, Woollahra. Initiated by the 'Loyal Rose of Denmark, No 39 Lodge of the Manchester United Independent Order of Oddfellows', it was designed by architect John Frederick Hilly and built in 1870. It was restored in the 1970's by Leo and Ann Schofield.
OLIVE BANK VILLA - No. 33 Heeley Street, Paddington. On the west side of Heeley Street near Olive Street, Paddington, Olive Bank Villa was built by John Ely Begg in ca. 1868 in the former grounds of Engehurst. The building was secured by the Sydney Day Nursery Assoication in 1924 when it opened as the Easten Suburbs Day Nursery. It has continued to operate as an early childhood centre still run by the SDN Children's Services.
OLD SOUTH HEAD ROAD - see Oxford Street, Paddington.
ORME - No. 5 Marathon Avenue, Darling Point. The building was established in 1875 and was substantially remodelled in the 1930s to the design of architects Josling and Gilling. It is now a mix of Gothic and Mediterranean Villa styles.
ORMONDE LODGE - No. 4 Underwood Street, Paddington. In the depression of the 1840's, Robert Cooper, having overspeculated, was forced to move out of Juniper Hall and into a cottage (Ormonde Lodge) on this site - part of the original cottage can be seen in the entrance vestibule.
OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA CHURCH, Watsons Bay. A new Catholic Church at Watsons Bay was designed by architect Charles St Julien in Federation Romanesque (American) style and the foundation stone laid in 1909. The Church was opened on 10 June 1910. Further extensions were made 1929, 1940 and 1966, see St Anthony's.
OXFORD STREET, Paddington. Oxford Street is the name now used for that section of the Old South Head Road which extends between Sydney City at Whitlam Square and Bondi Road at Bondi Junction.
A road of types existed to the South Head from as early as 1803, but in 1811 a new road was formed by a party of soldiers. A stone obelisk at Robertson Park, Watsons Bay marks the date of its completion. The Sydney Gazette, writing of the new road in May 1811, accurately foresaw that it would become a fashionable drive. A year later, the same source referred to the roadway as a 'beautiful avenue of recreation, either as a pleasant ride or promenade' which had been carved out of 'a wild and almost impenetrable scrub.'
The road was improved by Major Druitt in 1820. The South Head Road became Old South Head Road after a new road (New South Head Road) to South Head was constructed to the north of the existing roadway along the Harbour foreshore from 1831.
Old South Head Road was re-named as Oxford Street in stages, and by four different local government authorities (the City Council, and the Councils of the Municipalities of Paddington, Woollahra and Waverley) over a period of almost sixty years. The first section to be renamed was the City end, in 1875. Paddington Council then renamed the section between Boundary Street and Jersey Road in 1885, and in 1901 the section running from Jersey Road to Bondi Junction also became known as Oxford Street, following an agreement between the Municipalities of Woollahra and Waverley, for which the road formed the dividing line. The last section to be named was the length between Grosvenor Street and Bondi Road, in 1932.

Today, she suggested the possibility of medicating with an opioid antagonist (naloxone or naltrexone), and she gave me an article on it by Ulrich. F. Lanius, which is a chapter from Robin Shapiro's 2005 book EMDR Solutions: Pathways to Healing.
The naloxone (injected) and naltrexone (pill) are typically prescribed for heroin addicts because it blocks heroin's ability to bond with the brain. But apparently it can also prevent dissociation?
I'm just wondering if anyone else has heard about this or tried it. My T and I are going to have to work out details because she can't administer an injection of naloxone, so might have to meet her at a psychiatrist's office or something.
I came across naloxone
in a book I'm reading on healing from abuse. The book is: Psychological Trauma and the Developing Brain. Neurologically based interventions for troubled children
by Phyllis T. Stien and Joshua Kendall. The context of the mention is the use of specific drugs to help alter brain chemistry to aid in recovery from abuse. New types of drugs are being introduced in the treatment of PTSD, including CRF antagonists, neuropeptide Y enhancers, drugs to downregulate cortisol receptors, anticonvulsants and anti-adrenergic agents. Furthermore, drugs that block the effects of opiods can be effective in inhibiting dissociative symptoms. The naloxone is discussed in chapter 5, page 138:http://www.amazon.com/Psychological-Trauma-Developing-Brain-Neurologically/dp/0789017881/
Bruce Perry (a psychiatrist) tells the story about being summoned to the emergency room to treat a traumatized adolescent girl who was in a catatonic state. After an injection of naloxone, she woke up and was able to respond normally.
I have found this book to be excellent because it seems to discuss all the varied symptoms I had as a child (and still had as an adult). The book gives treatment (therapy) processes. The book is NOT bedside reading. It is a little bit technical.

In darkness and pain he trembled. Unable to walk, to do more than stumble, his right foreleg hung useless and unbearing. In the headlight beams there was little to tell of his injuries, lost to shadow and his own darkness. The pain, still, was obvious. Horses get drawn with pain, an expressive clinging of skin to muscle and muscle to the bone. Nothing is lost in their large eyes, unless they want it to be. Approaching him, slowly, hand out, his eyes told stories I did not want to hear. He reached out with his head, and his lips nibbled at my fingers. He was soft, and sweet. And I had no help, no real comfort for him. It was late, and I was on the road.
That was then. Now in the cool morning, the extent of the shattered shoulder is obvious. The flies have begun to torment him, as he stands too weak to flick his tail. Too drawn and pained to twitch his skin. I approach again with my hand out, and he moves only a little. Brushing his face and neck I talk to him softly, and below his vision I pass the gun from my left hand to my right. I hold it against the back of my thigh, and pull the hammer to the rear where it clicks. He moves away from the metallic, mechanical, noise and I move with him. Stilling him, I touch and stroke with my left hand, as I whisper. The words are for me, their softness for him. I brush the hair of his mane from the top of his head, scratching softly at the fly bites. I can see the white blaze of his forehead clearly now and my fingers linger on it for a moment. He breathes steadily and lowers his head just slightly. There is no time but now, and any greater amount of now will only draw out his agony.
There is a stillness after gunfire as the world comes to life again. The moment after the shot nothing has moved save the hand in recoil. It too is frozen, for an instant in waiting, before sound and motion, like water drawn away from a shore, come rushing back. In that rush of birds cries and fluttering wings, he falls. He goes down straight, legs buckling to lay him into his own dragging tracks, a great weight upon the earth. The body, so many long milliseconds dead, tenses and convulses briefly and stops, then with the stillness comes blood. Everything relaxes and pours out, upon the dust etched with agony.
The strict facts are simple enough, but their meaning depends on things impossible to relate. Experience is the ancient flood, tearing new canyons and river bottoms, and like younger waters we are destined to run the course it shapes. This is no different. This story, as all killing stories do, runs deeper than the killing.
The horse had been ridden at a gallop through a rat den, his leg dropping into the pit, loading his shoulder until it came apart. His rider, a weekender in the backcountry, had left him near the water and gone back to town too much a coward to make it right. Three days the horse had stood, alone and without food, before I drove past and saw him.
The rider is the next generation of a family I've known all my life. The old men of the family, those who were old when I was born, helped raise me. In the silent teaching of action they gave me the gift of an older way. I came up among them tougher and better honed than their own sons and actual grandsons. Those younger man all products of towns and rejection of the old ways.
It is far too late for old men. The world moves on, and they begin to fail. There are only a few left, of all the good ones I've known. Those who are still alive so rarely come to the ranch country, leaving it for their descendants, who take it only for a playground. Those descendants who don't have what it takes. Whose macho falls away to cowardice when it really matters. Who commit evils and sins that their fathers would have found unthinkable. Their fathers who fought and killed, drank and whored, but never once shied away from a thing for the hardness of it.
If there is ever a final judgment, I'll stand with the old men I've known. We'll pass a bottle, and watch as it all goes down.

Two-time hedge fund loser John Meriwether has launched two new hedge funds, hoping that the third time turns out better.
A founder of the legendary and infamous Long-Term Capital Management, which collapsed in 1998, requiring a government bailout, Meriwether has unveiled his JM Advisors Management's global macro strategy. The new fund is available in both onshore and offshore versions, according to regulatory filings.
Going with global macro is something of a change for Meriwether, and for JMAM. The Greenwich, Conn.-based firm was originally slated to run the same relative-value arbitrage strategy used at LTCM and JWM Partners, which Meriwether closed last year after taking a beating during the financial crisis.

Hello! My name is Kelsey Murray. I have been practicing midwifery in the GTA since 2019, and am very excited to be starting with the Midland Midwives by the Bay. My partner and I have been looking for a more rural setting to call home, and what place better than the shores of beautiful Georgian Bay!
Prior to completing the Midwifery program at McMaster university, I studied biomedical science at the University of Guelph. In 2013 I embarked on a volunteer experience in labour and delivery in Ghana, West Africa, which sparked an interest in maternity care. It was there that I attended my first delivery, and worked with local midwives. I have been passionate about women’s reproductive health and obstetrical care ever since. It is important to me to offer holistic, client-centred care through a feminist lens.
I am also a trained chef, and hold a diploma of culinary arts from the Stratford Chefs School. In my off-call time, I enjoy cooking, outdoor sports, travelling, and curling up with tea and a good book! I am excited to be joining the team, and look forward to meeting the families I will be caring for.

I think I’m right in saying this is the largest number of tour announcements we’ve ever had in our inbox after two days so I’m going to get on with it because this might take a while!
And who else could start off this list but the celebrated child prodigy, now blues virtuoso Joe Bonamassa. As the busiest man in this neck of the musical woods, he will hit many venues for the nth time accompanied by a hand-picked group of world-class musicians playing material from Blues of Desperation, plus classic Bonamassa tracks.

Dave and I like to be a bit outdoorsy. We like to climb and even hike a bit. Well, he loves to climb and it's slowly growing on me. Usually, to get to a climb, there is a hike. And you have to carry all of your gear. And it's uphill. Then we climb something. And three (or less) pitches in I get whiny and weepy and all "I can't do this, climbing is total bulls*** DAVID." Dave has learned that it is this point in our travels that I need to eat some food. Like now.
|On top of South Six Shooter, after a minor freak out (or two)|
Typically, he shoves a Stinger in my mouth and like magic, all is well in the world. For this backpacking trip, there was development of an energy bar to try and stave off the meanness. This is not your standard granola bar. These babies weigh in at about 450 calories and about 9 grams of protein apiece, so they are meant for days when you are working your tail off (also they make a nice breakfast).
They are nut free to accommodate friends with nut allergies and general nut dislike. They are sweetened with honey and pure maple syrup for cohesiveness and no refined sugar. There is no butter so they won't spoil out on the trail. They taste like dessert and will keep you going.
The ingredient list is long but substitutions can be made. For me, each ingredient was specifically chosen. These were not the first bars I whipped up (just ask Dave, he has had to try many crummy granola bars in pursuit of "the one")
It seems like there is a lot of steps, but the food processor does most of the work. There is no baking involved but these babies do seem to benefit from a little time in the freezer, they seem to stick together better and al the flavors meld nicely.
No-Bake Energy Bars
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1/2 cup crisp rice cereal
- 18 pitted dates
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (if you only have Mrs. Butterworth, make it 1/2 cup honey and skip the syrup)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (or dried cherries, raisins, etc.)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (mini is important, they stick in the bars better)
Put oats in the bowl of your food processor and pulse until powdered (like flour). Pour into a large mixing bowl. Next, put sunflower seeds and 2 tablespoons oil into the bowl of food processor and pulse until you have made sunflower seed butter. Pour into mixing bowl with oats. Put dates and 1 tablespoon oil into bowl of food processor, pulse until you have made a smooth paste. Dump into mixing bowl. Next , to the mixing bowl, add in flaxseed meal, wheat germ, and crisp rice cereal. Mix all to combine.
In a microwave safe bowl, pour in honey and maple syrup. Microwave for about 30-40 seconds. This makes everything a little more liquidy. Pour into granola mixture. Stir to combine. Finally, mix in dried cranberries and chocolate chips.
Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper. Dump granola bar mixture into the bowl. Press firmly and evenly into the pan. I usually just use the palm of my hand, but a clean drinking glass also works. Allow to sit for an hour or two. Cut bars to desired size, wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze or eat immediately.

The Policy Shift in the Middle East
The Obama Administration is now willing to take a pro-active stance in the affairs of other countries, particularly in the Middle East. Until now, we used to take pains to say that we were not going to meddle in the affairs of other countries. Or if we did meddle, we tried to do it secretly, perhaps with the help of the CIA or some other cloak-and-dagger operation.
Now, however, we are willing to tell foreign leaders when it is time to pack it in and yield to revolutionaries. "Regime change" was first invented by President Bush as a sort of public service that the United States was willing to perform on behalf of Iraqis seeking a better government.
This policy has continued in the Obama administration.
Mubarak, out! Gaddafi, out! We've also ordered Assad out of Syria, and we are in different stages of supporting opposition movements in Iran, Yemen and other countries.
Somehow, it has become the national interest of the United States to support tribal factions in Islamic countries, based on the mistaken belief that one tribe or the other will become the ally of the United States. So far however, the only "allies" we have our our commerical trading partners like Saudi Arabia. No one in that region of the world likes us or looks up to us, although for the moment they like selling oil to us.
Our investment in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is approaching several hundred billion dollars if not more. Now we are seeking additional involvements in Libya, Syria, Iran and othe countries.
So, is this a bargain? Are we really suited for refereeing tribal politics in these regions? Apparently, the American people are willing support these policies by re-electing the advocates of interventionist policies.


What is HTTP Keep-Alive?
HTTP keep-alive, also known as HTTP persistent connection or HTTP connection reuse, allows a TCP connection to remain open for multiple HTTP requests and responses.
Since the HTTP connections close after each request by default, the browser has to create new connections to request each of the files(e.g. JS, CSS, etc)whenever a user visits the site. This will increase the page loading times.
To stop this from happening, HTTP keep-alive is used where all the web page resources can be fetched over a single connection.
Keep-alive has two parameters namely timeout and max which are separated by a comma.
The timeout parameter represents the minimum amount of time, in seconds which the connection has to be kept open.
The max parameter represents the number of requests that can be sent to the connection before closing it.
The keep-alive can be enabled by “KeepAlive On” and disabled by “KeepAlive Off”.
An example of HTTP Keep-alive header:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 1845 Keep-Alive: timeout=1000, max=20 Server: Apache
1. Requirements before enabling Keep-alive header
Though the file we need to prepare to enable Keep-Alve depends on the server, we should at least have access to have one of the following files,
- .htacess - .htacess files or distributed configuration files helps in providing a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. It can be used to manage the functions of sites hosted in Apache.
- nginx.conf - It is the main configuration file of Nginx.
- httpd.conf - it is the primary apache configuration file.
2. Enabling the Keep-Alive Server
a.) Enabling using the .htaccess file:
If in case, keep-alive is not enabled in the server, it can be turned on by placing the following code in the .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_headers.c> Header set Connection keep-alive> <IfModule>
Using this method overrides any settings made in the configuration file of the server. It means we don’t need server-side access to enable it. Though there are other ways to enable a keep-alive header for Apache, the easiest way to do this is by editing the .htacess file.
b.) Enabling using http.conf file:
In order to locate the httpd.conf file, type the following command in the command line:
> find / -name httpd.conf
After the file has been opened, then do the following steps: Set the KeepAlive as “On”. Set the MaxAliveRequests. It says the maximum number of user requests that will be maintained during each Keep-Alive connection. Set the KeepAliveTimeOut*. It indicates how long the server can wait for a new request from the client. Try not to set this value too high because it may cause a heavy load on the server.
The final code will be like this:
KeepAlive On MaxKeepAliveRequests 50 KeepAliveTimeOut 10
c.) Enabling in Nginx:
Nginx server has keep-alive enabled by default. In exceptional cases where it will be disabled, the users can enable it using ngxhttpcore_module.
keepalive_disable - If the keepalive is not working in Nginx, then this setting should be changed.
Test the changes:
Once the Keep-alive header has been enabled, we can check it in the terminal itself.
Type the following command, with your domain name in it.
> curl -I http://atatus.com/
If the keep-alive is enabled, then the connection will be set to keep-alive.
If we arent able to see this in the terminal, then it means, that the keep-alive is disabled.
3. Web browsers using Keep-Alive connections
The modern web browsers using persistent connections are as follows:
- Google Chrome
- Internet Explorer(since 4.01)
- Opera(since 4.0)
In Internet Explorer, versions 6 and 7 use two persistent connections, whereas version 8 use six persistent connections. Persistent connections timeout after 60 seconds of inactivity which can be changed via the Windows registry.
In Firefox, persistent connections timeout after 115 seconds of inactivity which can be changed in the configuration.
4. Benefits of Keep-Alive
- The usage of the CPU is reduced because of fewer new connections and TLS handshakes because of the persistent connection between the client and the server.
- Because of fewer TCP connections, network congestion will be drastically reduced.
- It also enables the HTTP pipelining of requests and responses.
- Since the TLS handshakes are reduced there is also a decrease in the latency.
5. Disadvantages of Keep-Alive
If a client fails to close the connection even after all the data it wants has been received, then the resources needed to have the connection open will not be available for other clients. This affecting the ability of the server also the unavailability of the resources depends on the server’s architecture and configuration.
A condition known as race condition may occur in which the server closes the TCP connection when a client sends the request. In this situation, the server should send a 408 request timeout status code to the client before closing the connection. When the client receives this 408 code, it may open a new connection to the server and resend the request.
But not all clients will re-send the request and many will do so only if the request has an idempotent HTTP method.
It is important to verify the proxy server configurations and the applications to know if they support keep-alive. Almost all the browsers support persistent connections.
We can use HTTP/1.1 which keeps the connection alive by default for all requests unless the response contains a “Connection: close” header within it.
The newer protocol HTTP/2 also uses the same idea and allows multiple concurrent requests or responses to be multiplexed over a single connection.
The keep-alive server should be kept enabled always because it has more pros than cons. One of them is, that it improves the website speed. An increase in site speed is important as it is important for SEO and to draw more users to our site. If you want to know why site-speed matters, do check out this blog.

Naa N’ku Müna: The Rise of Cowrism is an artistic book with an eclectic collection of imagery which explores the cultural dynamics of feminine afro-futurism. Each image was created by hand and then digitized to be constructed as a representation of a material object that portrays African diaspora.
Long ago, the stones in the land were able to walk on the soil and wander about freely. It seems like yesterday when animals were able to speak with humans. The trees would alert living beings when the weather would shift. There was a point where the Earth was connected with the sky, close enough that the village fetish priest would request his small boy to run up the hill and fetch a small bushel of cloud fluff for mind cleansing. During this period of time, the people of our village would consult the Queen Mother for guidance. Müna is a woman of wish, desire and belief; our Queen who holds much power for she is a bearer of life.
