The Utah Utes have some healthy respect for Washington State and its passing attack, but the Utes aren't nearly as nervous about facing the Cougars as they might have been a few weeks ago.
Moving Reggie Topps into a starting role, getting safety Eric Rowe healthy and having Brian Blechen back up to speed after he served a three-game suspension have all contributed to better play in the secondary.
The Utes haven't given up the big plays like they did earlier in the season and have solved many of their communication issues.
"Unfortunately they had to grow up by learning the hard way," defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake said. "It was embarrassing at times, but they understood they were going up against some great players. They had to learn for us to win they needed to be the same point and all on the same page."
Washington State's star receiver is Marquess Wilson, who ranks 17th nationally, averaging 92.5 yards a game.
However, safeties coach Morgan Scalley said the Utes can't afford to just key on Wilson, who is just one of six players averaging more than 10 yards a catch.
"Wilson does have the most catches, but they do a great job of spreading it out," Scalley said. "But [Brett] Bartolone and [Gabe] Marks are good players. Those quarterbacks do a solid job of distributing the football, too."
Running them in
To simulate Washington State's passing attack, the Utes are preparing defensive backs by facing them against two or three receiver sets.
"It's a fast-paced tempo, and we have to get used to that," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. "It's not so much a factor they are using four wides, but it's throw after throw, and we have to simulate that with a big group of receivers."
Washington State's last visit to Rice-Eccles Stadium was in 2000, when the Cougars won 38-21. ... Saturday marks the annual Salute America game. Military representatives from all five branches will be carrying their service flags and wearing their colors.

Kabristan-Land of Graves
Kabristan, meaning graveyard in Urdu, is an attempt to represent the paralysed potential of Kashmir’s conflict, the mixture of anthropological and ideological elements temporary static like tombs, but ready to explode into a new stage of violence. The project was developed in Srinagar, the valley’s main city and the core of the Kashmir’s political history, and it blends different aspects of the relation between people and the pressure of the past, primarily perceived as a deadly atmosphere which intertwines with inner and outer landscapes. Based on a long term ethnographic research, the essay is composed by series of visual gravestones, differently balanced in their aesthetic and metaphorical composition, just giving the impression of an intimate tension between the past and the future, grief and anger, introspection and violence, political utopia and bitter realities of the conflict.

Showing results for: Consumer stage
Consumer preferences, demands, needs and ultimately consumption patterns influence global and local patterns of agricultural production and affect all other stages of the food chain. However the consumption practice of individuals is itself shaped by a huge host of influences including national and international regulations and legislation, market prices and food’s affordability, food industry advertising and marketing, technological innovations, and societal norms, mores and taboos.
In this paper, FCRN member Dr Gary Goggins discusses factors that affect how organisations develop sustainable food strategies and sets out opportunities and constraints that apply across a range of organisations.
Brexit could affect food security and food prices in the UK, according to industry and academic voices.
The rising popularity of non-dairy milks has prompted calls from the dairy industry for the name “milk” to be restricted to the dairy version.
The British Dietetic Association’s newly updated policy statement on Sustainable Diets sets out a commitment to the importance of sustainability in the day to day practice of dietitians. They advocate for a reduction of red and processed meat in the UK diet, to be replaced by appropriate plant based proteins such as beans and pulses.
This paper by researchers in Peru and Spain recognises the as yet uninvestigated potential for developing countries, such as Peru, to mitigate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by changing dietary patterns, given that food represents a high proportion of household expenditure. The study employed Life Cycle Assessment to analyse the impacts of 47 Peruvian diet profiles.
IntoFood is a Norwegian-based organisation which helps food companies to report on sustainability and create greener menu offerings, led by FCRN member Will Nicholson. They have completed a project with ISS, a large catering company, in which they generated new menu information including carbon footprint data for all of the 2000+ recipes in ISS’ menu management system.
The United Nations System Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN) has produced a discussion paper on sustainable healthy diets. It begins by outlining the relevant global policy framework and existing commitments on nutrition and climate change. It then goes on to examine the interdependence of climate change, food systems, diets, nutrition and health, before setting out which policy steps need to be taken to further research and action in this area.
This paper describes an online choice experiment to understand consumer preferences around best-before dates, appearance, and packaging of food products; the paper specifically studies the demand for discounted ‘suboptimal’ products in the supermarket, and consumers’ willingness to use them in the home.
This report describes the whole Flemish food system, what the Flemish eat, what attitudes, behaviors and trends play a role and the economic, environmental and social consequences of Flemish food consumption. It analyses the different Flemish food supply chains and indicate the importance of distribution, processing and production and concludes with a set of recommendations.
This information brief is included in Science Journal for Kids, a resource dedicated to sharing cutting edge peer-reviewed environmental research with students (and their teachers).
This website published by The International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), presents interactive visual information and statistics on how food supplies around the world have changed in the past 50 years.
This is a systematic review on consumer perception and behaviours in relation to meat, meat substitutes and the environment. It finds that both awareness of the environmental impact of meat consumption and a willingness to reduce meat consumption is low in the studied populations. The authors identify as a key research area the investigation of strategies that might help to motivate more moderate, sustainable meat consumption behaviour.
This report discusses current and historic vegetable consumption in the UK (no higher now than in the 1970s), the importance of vegetables in the diet and current drivers of vegetable consumption.
This systematic review confirms earlier findings that a number of well-categorised sustainable dietary patterns are also good for health outcomes. There was consistent evidence to suggest that diets higher in plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, nuts, and whole grains and lower in animal-based foods (especially red meat), are both healthier and associated with a lower impact on the environment.
The Eating Better Alliance has launched a new campaign about eating less meat. The alliance have worked to create a new way of talking about eating less meat, through fun and positive messages and a set of adverts to inspire a new generation of men to be more daring with their food and give vegetarian options a chance.
In this blog Jessica Paddock and Alan Warde outline a feminist vision of how we might change our eating habits in order to meet our food climate mitigation requirements.
This study estimates the environmental impacts of what it terms discretionary foods - foods and drinks that do not provide nutrients that the body particularly needs. It finds that these foods account for 33-39% of food-related footprints in Australia.

Brucellosis presenting as pyrexia of unknown origin in an international traveller: a case report
Cases Journal volume 2, Article number: 7969 (2009)
In this era of globalization frequent traveling across the world is common. It has resulted in exchange of knowledge and expertise among medical professionals around the world which has a visible positive impact. However, this predisposes the travelers to the risk of acquiring an 'alien' disease endemic to a particular country. This may be a great challenge for the treating physicians to manage such patients due to lack of facility for diagnosis and experience in handling such disease. We present a similar case scenario and problems we faced in managing that patient.
A 40-year-old man visited to Africa, developed a skin rash over ankle after an insect bite. This was followed by high grade fever. He was investigated in Kenya, however, returned to India pending results. Later he developed sleepiness and coarse tremors. Work up for the cause of fever was inconclusive. He was diagnosed with trypanosomiasis based on reports from Kenya. In absence of alternate diagnosis and clinical setting, we treated him for trypanosomiasis. This therapy resulted no improvement in patient's condition. Finally, at request of the patient's attendants he was referred to Belgium where he was diagnosed as brucellosis and treated successfully.
Our patient was indeed suffering from neurobrucellosis. Brucellosis is a frequently missed cause of pyrexia. Our case highlights that in this era, taking help from our professional colleagues over the globe is easy which can improve patient care greatly.
Globalization has affected all professionals around the world including medical professionals significantly. It has a great positive impact on medical professionals around the world. It has resulted in exchange of knowledge and expertise among medical professionals around the world which has visible positive impact. However, this predisposes the travellers to risk of acquiring an 'alien' disease endemic in that country. Lack of facility for diagnosis and experience in handling that particular disease may be a great challenge. We present a similar case scenario where a patient was admitted in India with probable diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). We discuss the case and problems faced by us managing this patient.
A forty-year Indian, working in pharmaceutical company, had gone on a business trip to Africa traveling through Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. While he was in Africa, he developed a swelling over the left ankle joint after an insect bite. This swelling was painful and followed by high grade fever with chills and rigors after 3-4 days. There was no history of any joint pain. There was no other clue on history to localize the cause of fever. There was no history of high risk behavior. Patient had past history of essential tremors for last 6 years, without any functional disability. There was no history of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, or tuberculosis in the past. He took empirical antibiotics in Africa which resulted minor relief in his symptoms. He consulted a physician at Kenya, who suggested blood investigations. However, patient had to return to India because of personal reasons, pending his investigations result. On examination, he was febrile with oral temperature of 102 F. He had tachycardia with pulse rate of 116/min, blood pressure was 124/80 mm of Hg. There was an erythematous swelling over the left ankle, with peri-lesional erythematous rashes. There was no other skin rash elsewhere. There was no pallor, icterus, or peripheral lymphnode enlargement. Examination of respiratory and cardiovascular system was normal. Abdomen examination revealed hepatomegaly of 3 cm and splenomegaly of 3 cm below costal margin. Central nervous system examination revealed coarse tremors in bilateral hands. Other motor, sensory and cranial nerves examination was normal. There were no signs of meningeal irritation.
Investigations revealed normal hemoglobin (12.8 gm/dl), total leukocyte counts (6400/mm3) and differential leukocyte counts (neutrophils 54%, lymphocytes 44%, monocytes 1% and basophils 1%) and mild thrombocytopenia (100 × 103/mm3). Blood biochemistry showed normal fasting sugar (108 mg/dl), urea (26 mg/dl), creatinine (0.8 mg/dl), calcium (8.6 mg/dl), sodium (142 mg/dl) and potassium (4.2 mg/dl). Liver function tests revealed mildly raised SGOT/PT (78/67 IU) and reversed albumin:globulin (3.8/4.9 gm/dl) ratio. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 45 mm in 1st hour measured by Westergren's method. Blood smear for malaria parasite was negative. Cultures from blood and urine were sterile. Widal test showed normal titers. Testing for viral markers (HIV I and II, HBs Ag and anti HCV) were negative. Chest radiograph did not show any abnormality. Contrast enhanced computer tomographic (CECT) scan of chest and abdomen revealed hepato-splenomegaly and an insignificant (<1 cm) peri-pancreatic lymph node in abdomen; no abnormality noticed in the chest.
Patient was on symptomatic treatment with antipyretics. During hospital stay patient noticed increased sleepiness and increased frequency and duration of tremors. Meanwhile, we contacted, telephonically, the laboratory at Nairobi West hospital, Kenya where patient's blood tests were performed before returning to India. We were told that quantitative buffy coat (QBC) test (code no. 1021193, A/C No. 82609, Ex No. 144572) was positive for trypanosome. At our institute, repeat testing for trypanosome by direct smear, giemsa and QBC testing were negative. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination was acellular with normal glucose (93 mg/dl; corresponding blood glucose was 104 mg/dl). The proteins were raised (93 mg/dl) and globulins were positive. Examination of CSF for trypanosome by direct smear, giemsa and QBC were negative. Bone marrow aspirate did not reveal any organism. Bone biopsy showed single ill defined granuloma.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain showed mild meningeal enhancement, most probably post lumbar puncture enhancement. Few small lesions noticed in pons, which were hyperintense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images. Possibility of infective/inflammatory etiology was kept, though these could be non specific.
Considering the fact that disease is fatal without treatment and therapy is associated with significant morbidity, it was a great dilemma to treat HAT based on the telephonic reports from Kenya. However, we could not make alternate diagnosis. Therefore, we decided to start therapy for HAT. In view of our lack of experience, we consulted Dr. Ohennu Blum, WHO personnel, by e-mail for management of HAT. He kindly advised various regimens used for treating HAT. We arranged suramin and melarsoprol through WHO. We decided to treat sleeping sickness following the Tanzanian scheme for stage 2 trypanosomiasis. Patient received suramin, after 1.5 gm of suramin patient became afebrile on day 3, but noticed increased somnolence. A repeat CSF examination showed 5 WBC (lymphocyte)/µl; sugar and protein were normal and globulins were negative. Melarsoprol was added with intension to give three cycles (180 mg/day × 3 days) weekly for three weeks. However, on day 3 of first cycle we noticed worsening of tremor. Now patient became ataxic, although other neurological examination was normal. So, we repeated CSF examination which showed 10 lymphocytes/µl with raised proteins. MRI of brain showed multiple hyper-intense, minimally enhancing white matter lesions which were reported as nonspecific. We were continuously explaining the patient and his attendant about the daily progress and our limited experience of treating HAT. Patient's attendants decided to take patient to University Hospital at Antwerp, Belgium for further management.
In Belgium, patient was further evaluated for cause of symptoms complex. Initially, tuberculosis was considered as first differential and brain biopsy was planned. However, investigations revealed serology positive for Brucella which was further confirmed by positive culture. Patient was started on rifampin, doxycycline plus co-trimoxazole based regimen for 6 months. He responded well to treatment. When last seen almost one year of completion of therapy was asymptomatic.
Human African trypanosomiasis and brucellosis both are zoonotic diseases. Brucellosis is endemic in countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea and many other countries . Humans can acquire brucellosis by direct inoculation through cuts and skin abrasions, especially from handling animal tissues or secretions, via the conjunctiva, inhalation of infected aerosols and ingestion of contaminated food such as raw milk, cheeses made from unpasteurized milk, or raw meat. Clinically, brucellosis invariably presents with fever. Systemic involvement may affect musculoskeletal (osteomyelitis, arthritis or abscess), hepatosplenomegaly, genitourinary (epidydimo-orchitis), central nervous system (neurobrucellosis), cardiac (endocarditis) etc. The clinical spectrum of neurobrucellosis is very heterogeneous. The presentation may be with depression or lethargy or full blown meningitis, encephalitis, polyradiculoneuritis, cranial nerve involvement, epilepsy, brain abscess, subarachnoid hemorrhage and coma . Examination of CSF reveals a lymphocytic reaction with a raised protein. The organism can be cultured from the CSF only in a minority of cases. In suspected cases diagnosis is confirmed by enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) which is positive in blood and CSF .
Treatment of brucellosis includes combination of drugs which include tetracyclines, streptomycin, co-trimoxazole (TMP-SMX) and rifampicin. The aim the treatment is to treat current infection and prevention of relapse. Various regimens described are Streptomycin plus doxycycline, rifampicin plus doxycycline, or TMP-SMX with Streptomycin or rifampicin (in patients who can not take tetracyclines). Usual duration of treatment is 6-weeks. However, neurobrucellosis requires a prolonged therapy (3-6 months). With these drugs response rate is good with relapse/failure rate of about 10% [4, 5]. Our patient was treated with rifampicin plus doxycycline for six months and responded well.
HAT is also a zoonotic disease (affecting both wild and domestic animals) caused by a protozoan, genus Trypanosome (gambiense and rhodesiense spp.). Humans are infected by the bite of Tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) which acts as a vector. The initial lesion is characterized by formation of chancre at site of tsetse fly bite in 5-10 days. There are two recognized stages in the clinical presentation of HAT - early hemolymphatic stage (early), and the late encephalitic stage (late). Early stage is characterized by episodes of fever (lasting 1-7 days) and generalized lymphadenopathy usually after 1-3 weeks of bite. Other symptoms include malaise, headache, arthralgia, lassitude, and weight loss . Infection can involve organs like spleen, liver, skin, cardiovascular system, endocrine system, and eyes . Late stage is characterized by neuropsychiatric manifestations. The psychiatric symptoms include irritability, lassitude, headache, personality changes, hallucinations, suicidal tendencies, and mania [7, 8]. Neulogical manifestations can be motor (limb tremors, tongue and limb muscle fasciculation, limb hypertonia and pyramidal weakness, choreiform and athetoid movements, dysarthria, cerebellar ataxia, and polyneuritis) or sensory (painful hyperaesthesia, pruritus, and deep hyperaesthesia i.e. Kerandel's sign) -. Sleep disturbances are characterized by lassitude, distractibility, spontaneous, uncontrollable urges to sleep and a reversal of the normal sleep-wake cycle. In absence of treatment disease progresses to the final stage characterized by seizures, severe somnolence, double incontinence, cerebral edema, coma, systemic organ failure, and death -.
The first clue to diagnosis of HAT is a clinical presentation in the context of a geographical location or history of travel to an endemic area. The definite diagnosis involves demonstration of the trypanosomes in the peripheral blood using stained thick and thin films or in other infected tissues such as lymph node or bone marrow aspirates. Antibody-detecting card agglutination test is a simple, easy and rapid test for serological diagnosis . However, the most crucial part in HAT diagnosis and therapeutic decision making is to distinguish reliably the late encephalitic stage of HAT from the early stage as failure to treat a patient with CNS involvement will inevitably lead to death from the disease and inappropriate CNS treatment in an early-stage patient carries a high risk of unnecessary drug toxicity. In patients with suspected late-stage disease it is imperative to perform a lumbar puncture, which typically shows a lymphocytic pleiocytosis and raised protein level of 40-200 mg/100 ml . There is lack of a universal consensus on the operational definition of late-stage HAT. WHO criteria for encephalytic stage are demonstration of the parasites in the CSF or a white blood cell (WBC) count of >5/µl. Our patient's CSF parameters (10 lymphocytes/µl and raised proteins) were confused with encephalitic stage of HAT. Recently, it has been suggested that the WHO criteria should be replaced by the presence of intrathecal IgM synthesis or the presence of >20 WBCs/µl, independent of the presence of trypanosomes in the CSF . EEG can show non specific changes. MRI of the brain may show diffuse asymmetric white matter abnormalities, diffuse hyper-intensities in the basal ganglia, and ventricular enlargement . Our case also demonstrated multiple hyper-intense white matter lesions. CSF PCR is another test which has sensitivity of about 95% but currently not used for therapeutic decision making .
Current therapy for HAT is based on four drugs namely suramin, pentamidine, melarsoprol, and eflornithine. Early-stage disease is treated with i.v. suramin in rhodesiense disease and with intramuscular (i.m.) pentamidine in gambiense disease. Melarsoprol is the only effective drug for late-stage disease in both forms of HAT . A course of 3-4 i.v. doses are given daily over a week for a total period of 3-4 weeks. About 80-90% patients are cured with standard regimens . Major problem with melarsoprol treatment is a severe post-treatment reactive encephalopathy (PTRE) in up to 10% of cases, with a fatality rate of about 50% . Simultaneous use of prednisolone can reduce this complication.
Our case, probably do not add much to the exiting clinical knowledge, however, it highlights the impact of globalization on patients and medical professionals. In this era, both diseases as well as medical professional expertise do not respect the global boundaries. It has enabled us to share our knowledge and experiences with our professional colleagues over the globe within short time. It takes only few hours to days to take professional opinion or medical aids across the world. Similarly, it has led us to study more closely about the diseases/conditions which are rarely seen in that particular part of the globe. However, it has its dark side also. As lack of experience of management of the disease in question may be a problem. First, we may miss diagnosis during differential diagnoses. Secondly, even if we have considered the possibility of some 'alien' disease then there are high chances of lacking facility to rule out or confirm that possibility. Finally, it may be difficult to treat any disease in absence of experience. Like our case was treated wrongly as HAT. Serological test demonstrating antibody response against trypanosome could have been an option to rule out past infection however, this facility is not available at our institute. Finally, with the help of our professional colleagues in Belgium possibility trypnosomal infection (past or active) was ruled out and diagnosis of brucellosis made and treated successfully.
Globalization has affected whole world, including medical professionals, in significant and positive way. It has enabled us to exchange our professional knowledge and expertise across the globe for better care to the patients in need. Brucellosis is a frequently missed cause of pyrexia of unknown. However, if suspected, diagnosis is easy and treatment is usually satisfactory.

How has the Peace Bridge changed attitudes?
LONDONDERRY regeneration company ILEX will ask people using the new Peace Bridge on Thursday and Friday how the new infrastructure is changing attitudes.
Gerard McCleave, ILEX’s Director of Strategy and Regeneration, described the Peace Bridge and Ebrington as “sizeable and symbolic new public spaces for all of our community and we need to ensure that they are impacting positively on the daily lives of people and are contributing to a shared future.”
Since its opening on June 25, 2011, the Peace Bridge has changed the daily movement of people in Londonderry.
Having announced the one millionth crossing of the Peace Bridge last month, ILEX, is now surveying the public to see how the bridge has impacted on city life.
The survey will be carried out at various locations in the city between Thursday, October 4, and Sunday, October 7.
It will involve face-to-face interviews to gain detailed information on attitudes to the Peace Bridge, its contribution to the use of open space including Ebrington, Guildhall Square, Waterloo Place and St Columb’s Park.
It will also consider the movement of residents from the Waterside to the city side and vice versa for employment, shopping, social and leisure activities.
Gerard McCleave, Ilex’s Director of Strategy & Regeneration explained: “The survey will help us gather information to monitor the change in people’s attitudes, movement across the city and the use of shared spaces over time.”
Surveys will be carried out at locations including; Guildhall Square, Lisnagelvin Shopping Centre, Richmond Centre, Foyleside Centre, St Columb’s Park, Sainsbury’s, the Peace Bridge Walkway and Foyle Street Bus Station.
For further information contact Anne Carlin, Ilex - 028 7126 9226 or 07547787352. Press release and bridge images are downloadable on www.ilex-urc.com.

MCP Politician Theresa Mwale Joins Ruling DPP; VP Chilima Says DPP Focused
Vice President Dr. Saulosi Chilima has said the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is a focused party which is doing all it can to develop the country as promised and will ensure that it sorts out the problems the country is going through.
He made the remarks Monday at Magawa Secondary School Ground in the area of Traditional Authority (T/A) Zulu in Mchinji where he addressed a development rally.
During the meeting former Minister of Gender, Women and Community Development in the late Bingu Wa Mutharika’s administration Tereza Mwale announced that she has rejoined the party after falling out of grace with party for contesting as an independent candidate during the 2014 Tripartite Elections.
The Vice President said it is not true the DPP led government is a failure as claimed by some quarters of the opposition saying the problems facing the nation are known to government and solutions to the problems have been identified already.
“The issues of food insecurity and power blackouts are not news at all because government knows them and solutions have been identified already. We have bought a lot of maize and some of those affected by food insecurity started receiving the food and cash to buy the food in July and this will continue.
“For energy, government has signed up agreement with international companies who are going to come up with companies that will provide alternative energy solutions such as solar and coal, so these issues are not news anymore,” he said.
Chilima added that ADMARC will open its markets next week to ensure the people get access to the maize saying many markets will be opened to ensure that all areas are covered.
He assured people in the country that the DPP led government will continue to develop the country in all sectors as promised and this will cover all corners of the country.
Commenting on the forth coming by elections, the Vice President urged the people in Mchinji West to vote for the DPP candidate Stephano Kamwani saying it is only the DPP candidate who could easily facilitate development in the area.
Speaking earlier, Minister of Community Development, Culture and Civic Education Patricia Kaliati, Minister of Labour, Youth Development and Sports Henry Mussa and DPP Secretary Genaleral Ecklen Kudontoni appealed to the people to vote for DPP candidate and not repeat their 2014 ‘mistake’ when they voted for an MCP candidate.

Scottish independence: PM has 'capacity to change mind'
The UK government is to reject calls for a Scottish independence referendum before Brexit after Theresa May said "now is not the time".
The Deputy First Minister of Scotland John Swinney told Radio 4's Today programme the Prime Minister has "the capacity to change her mind", but if she doesn't she will be "standing in the face of Scottish democracy".

I may be biased about this film as I was in a production of it 7 years ago where I met my current girlfriend and future wife (sounds familiar after watching this film). But this is the film and I tried my hardest not to compare it to the stage musical. I have to say I was impressed.
The script holds up incredibly well. The comedy is all still laughable and not as dated as per usual of films from this era. At times it felt very scripted, but that’s just the style of the time period and the genre.
And it’s interesting that the main synopsis of the film is actually the B plot. As the movie is really about guys and dolls–as simple as that sounds–it’s ingeniously disguised as a film showing a glimpse of the world of underground gambling. And the music goes beautifully with what the main themes of the story are. Even one of the gambling songs (Luck Be A Lady) begs for monogamy from a supernatural force.
The performances of all four lead were great too! Although I’m pretty sure I caught Frankie acting on a couple lines. But I’ll let it slide since he was very convincing otherwise. And the characters may not have been as deep as can be, but they were very well defined–which is the least you can expect from a musical comedy.
The only thing that I would do differently would be for Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown to not get married at the end with Nathan and Adelaide. It takes away from their moment a little bit, and it doesn’t make much sense why Sarah wouldn’t get married in a church since she is a holy roller after all. They should have showed them getting engaged or something like that instead.
Overall, Guys and Dolls is silly and fun and a quick two and a half hours of your time! I definitely recommend a watch!

'It's our responsibility': Voters take to the polls on election day in Volusia, Flagler
DAYTONA BEACH — Election day started early on Tuesday for David Butts, among the first to arrive as polls opened at 7 a.m. at City Island Library.
“I always like to get here first thing in the morning, to beat the crowds, to beat the lines,” said Butts, 54, who doesn’t recall missing an election-day vote since he made his first at age 18. “It’s our responsibility as Americans.”
On Tuesday morning, there was little problem avoiding lines as voters arrived in a steady trickle at City Island and other precincts that included the Midtown Cultural Center and the Beville Road Church of Christ, both in Daytona Beach, and the Ormond Beach Regional Library in Ormond Beach.
“Hopefully, they come out a little bit later,” said Butts, an investment adviser. “I know it’s always slower in the primary.”
Butts was among many voters on both sides of the political spectrum who said that they are disheartened by the mean-spirited tone of politics in recent years.
Florida primary 2022 live updates:Voters head to polls in Volusia, Flagler elections
“Locally, I think we have some great candidates, and everybody is still looking toward making Daytona Beach better,” he said. “Nationally, there’s still a lot of division between the parties.
“It used to be you could carry on a conversation with people who had opposing views, but now you can’t really even talk politics if someone has a different opinion,” he said. “People just need to calm down and realize that just because someone has a different view from you, if doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.”
Amid all the campaign noise, voters throughout Florida headed to the quiet isolation of the polls on Tuesday to cast ballots in local and statewide primary and nonpartisan races.
Key races in Volusia, Flagler
In Volusia County, three school board seats are up for grabs, voters will choose an at-large seat for the County Council, and more council seats and mayoral positions are on the ballot along with the closely watched Republican primary for the 7th Congressional District.
In Flagler, another three school board seats are sought, controversial County Commission Chairman Joe Mullins faces a challenger while others fight for the District 2 and 4 seats, and Palm Coast turns out to vote for a City Council spot.
The winners of partisan primary races advance to the general election on Nov. 8. In nonpartisan general election races where no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, the top two compete in a runoff on Nov. 8.
Volusia voters arrive to carry out 'civic duty'
At City Island, the early birds also included Wilfredo Mendez, 80, who walked more than 2 miles round-trip on a bum leg with the assistance of a metal walker to reach the library from his apartment on North Ridgewood Avenue.
“I waste no time,” said Mendez, who is retired from work at several cleaning and construction companies in Orlando. “After you retire, that’s all you have is plenty of time, very little money.”
And the precious right to vote.
“That’s the greatest thing I have, my patriotic duty,” said Mendez, a native of Puerto Rico. “We need people (in elected office) to do something better for us, especially senior citizens.”
Nearby, Philip Imhansiemhonehi, was among those who said that the heated rhetoric fueling political divisions was the nation’s biggest issue, often overshadowing the election-day goal of “putting the right person in the right position.”
“That kind of division is not good for any nation,” said Imhansiemhonehi, 74, a retired college professor. “It creates hatred for one another and that is not good for humanity.”
Across town at the Midtown Cultural Center, another voter said that going to the polls is a ritual that allows citizens to rise above partisan noise.
“Amid so many divisive voices, you can voice your opinion without saying anything to anybody,” said Cedric Newmon, 53, a retired U.S. Marine Corps veteran. “You don’t have to deal with the garbage that people are saying to be part of the process. A lot of people died to get (us) the right to vote, so to stand up and have your voice heard is vital.”
At yet another precinct, voter Leslie Payne, 69, of Daytona Beach, also characterized Tuesday’s trip to the polls as a citizen’s “very important civic duty.”
“I don’t like the way the country is going, heading toward socialism,” said Payne, a retired security worker, who arrived to cast his vote at the Bethel Road Church of Christ adorned in a red MAGA hat and a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Stolen Property” over an image of the White House.
He also said that he is “very concerned” about the tone of political debate, focusing his criticism on the media for biased news coverage. “I think we’ve kind of lost our freedom of speech,” he said.
In Ormond Beach, voter Bejan Bourbour, 29, also said he was supporting Republican candidates.
“I’m voting Republican, because of moral values,” said Bourbour, who is concerned about issues such as attempts at gun-control legislation and the teaching of critical race theory in public schools.
“All that nonsense, that’s not how we all grew up, loving each other as a child of God,” he said.
Nearby, Clenton Peterson, 65, said that it’s now more important than ever to vote.
“We’ve got to stand up for democracy,” said Peterson, an Army veteran and retired postal worker. “Things are going haywire right now; the country is so divided. We have to do what we have to do to get it back on track.”

Analysis points to health system failures at critical time around birth as a significant contributing factor to these needless deaths
Child survival rates have increased dramatically since 1990, during which time the absolute number of under-five deaths has been slashed in half from 12.7 million to 6.3 million, according to a report released today by UNICEF.
The 2014 Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed progress report, indicates that the first 28 days of a newborn’s life are the most vulnerable with almost 2.8 million babies dying each year during this period. One million children don’t even live to see their second day of life.
Many of these deaths could be easily prevented with simple, cost-effective interventions before, during and immediately after birth.
Analysis points to failures in the health system during the critical time around delivery as a significant contributing factor to these unnecessary deaths. It also shows that there is considerable variation – from country to country and between rich and poor – in the take-up and quality of health services available to pregnant women and their babies.
Key findings in this study include:
- Around half of all women do not receive the recommended minimum of four antenatal care visits during their pregnancy.
- Complications during labour and delivery are responsible for around one quarter of all neonatal deaths worldwide. In 2012, 1 in 3 babies (approximately 44 million) entered the world without adequate medical support.
- Evidence shows that initiating breastfeeding within one hour of birth reduces the risk of neonatal death by 44 per cent, yet less than half of all newborns worldwide receive the benefits of immediate breastfeeding.
- Quality of care is grossly lacking even for mothers and babies who have contact with the health system. A UNICEF analysis of 10 high mortality countries indicates that less than 10 percent of babies delivered by a skilled birth attendant went on to receive the seven required post-natal interventions, including early initiation of breastfeeding. Similarly, less than 10 per cent of mothers who saw a health worker during pregnancy received a core set of eight prenatal interventions.
- Those countries with some of the highest number of neonatal deaths also have a low coverage of postnatal care for mothers. Ethiopia (84,000 deaths; 7 per cent coverage); Bangladesh (77,000; 27 per cent); Nigeria (262,000; 38 per cent); Kenya (40,000; 42 per cent).
- Babies born to mothers under the age of 20 and over the age of 40 have higher mortality rates.
Additionally, the report shows that the education level and age of the mother has a significant bearing on the chances of her baby’s survival. Neonatal mortality rates among mothers with no education are nearly twice as high for those with secondary schooling and above.
“The data clearly demonstrate that an infant’s chances of survival increase dramatically when their mother has sustained access to quality health care during pregnancy and delivery,” said Geeta Rao Gupta, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director. “We need to make sure that these services, where they exist, are fully utilised and that every contact between a mother and her health worker really counts. Special efforts must also be made to ensure that the most vulnerable are reached.”
Inequality, particularly in health care access, remains high in the least developed countries: women from the richest households are almost three times as likely as those from the poorest to deliver their baby with a skilled birth attendant. Despite this, the report suggests that the equity gap in under-5 child mortality is steadily reducing. In every region, except sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of under-five mortality among the poorest sections of society is declining faster than in the richest. More significantly, worldwide, the poor are registering greater absolute gains in child survival than their wealthier compatriots.
“It is deeply heartening that the equity gap in child survival is continuing to narrow,” said Rao Gupta. “We need to harness this momentum and use it to drive forward programmes that focus resources on the poorest and marginalised households; a strategy which has the potential to save the largest number of children’s lives.”

About A Promise Renewed
A Promise Renewed is a global movement that seeks to advance Every Woman Every Child – a strategy launched by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to mobilize and intensify global action to improve the health of women and children around – through action and advocacy to accelerate reductions in preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths.
The movement emerged from the Child Survival Call to Action convened in June 2012 by the Governments of Ethiopia, India and the United States, in collaboration with UNICEF, to examine ways to spur progress on child survival. It is based on the ethos that child survival is a shared responsibility and everyone – governments, civil society, the private sector and individuals – has a vital contribution to make.
Since June 2012, 178 governments and many civil society organizations, private sector organizations and individuals have signed a pledge to redouble their efforts, and are turning these commitments into action and advocacy. More details on A Promise Renewed are available at www.apromiserenewed.org
About Committing to Child Survival: A Promise Renewed 2014 Progress Report
This year’s annual report focuses on newborn survival. This report not only presents levels and trends in under-five and neonatal mortality since 1990, but also provides analysis on key interventions for mother and newborn.
UNICEF is the world’s leading organisation for children, promoting the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere. UNICEF UK raises funds for UNICEF’s emergency and development work and advocates for lasting change for children everywhere. We are a UK registered charity, supported entirely by voluntary donations. We do not receive any money from the UN. For more information, please visit www.unicef.org.uk

Zurriola Beach#6 in Best Things To Do in San Sebastian
Price & Hours
Located on the other side of Monte Urgull, Zurriola Beach (or Playa Zurriola) differs from La Concha in that it's an action-packed surfing spot. In fact, the waves are so impressive (swells can reach a foot-and-a-half on a regular day), numerous local and international surfing competitions are held here. The best time for surfing in San Sebastian is during fall and winter. That's because waves are the biggest this time of year, reaching 5 to 6 feet in height. Even if you're not a surfer, you can still enjoy Zurriola Beach. The beach features plenty of space to stretch your legs and is completely safe for swimming.
Travelers who came to relax on Zurriola's sands or ride its waves reported a good time. Surfers compliment the conditions and recommend renting a board at one of the many nearby surf shops. Just remember: because so many flock here to surf, it's best to arrive early in the day to avoid crowded waters (though, reviewers say there are far fewer beachgoers here than La Concha). Some swimmers did complain that because there are so many surfers, the area of the beach dedicated to swimming can feel small compared to La Concha.
Zurriola Beach is free and open to enjoy 24 hours a day. Always swim when a lifeguard is present and don't venture too close to the water at night. You can find Zurriola Beach in Gros, just across the Urumea River from Parte Vieja. For more information on Zurriola Beach, check out the San Sebastian tourism board's website.

Writing competition launched in memory of David Oluwale
A new writing competition has been launched in memory of David Oluwale whose life ended in tragic circmstances in Leeds in 1969. Yvette Huddleston reports.
Sometimes stories – no matter how tragic – just have to be told, especially those which bring to wider attention the experiences of people whose voices are rarely heard.
That is at the heart of a new writing competition launched this month by Leeds Big Bookend literature festival in partnership with Leeds-based literary social group Fictions of Every Kind and the charity Remember Oluwale. The charity, which works for social justice, diversity, equality and inclusion, was set up in response to a call for a memorial in Leeds for David Oluwale by Leeds-raised author Caryl Phillips whose 2007 book Foreigners: Three English Lives included an account of Oluwale’s life and death. Phillips is a patron of the charity and one of the judges in the competition, alongside poet Ian Duhig and novelist Marina Lewycka.
David Oluwale arrived in Hull at the age of 19 from Nigeria in 1949 in search of a better life. In 1969 he was found drowned in the River Aire in Leeds. In the intervening years Oluwale had been homeless and destitute, suffered mental ill health, been a victim of racism and police brutality and had spent time in High Royds psychiatric hospital and Armley prison. In November 1971 two Leeds police officers were acquitted of his manslaughter but imprisoned for assaulting him. It is a tragic and shameful story of a man’s life destroyed by prejudice, sustained violent persecution and cruelty. Yet there was also hope and kindness in Oluwale’s story in the form of the care he received from nursing staff at High Royds, friends who tried to help him and people who testified on his behalf in the police inquiry after his death.
The new competition invites people to submit short stories and poems which creatively respond to Oluwale’s life and death for an anthology – to be published in June – that reflects on Oluwale’s story, highlighting its continuing relevance today. Poems and stories can be directly related to the events of Oluwale’s life or can take as their inspiration the related themes of marginalisation, exclusion or kindness and hope. “It is great to see something positive coming out of something so sad,” says Big Bookend co-ordinator Fiona Gell. “The work of the charity really brings all the issues that David had to deal with to the fore; it also says a lot about Leeds as a city – we want positive change. And this is exactly the kind of community-based project we at Big Bookend want to be involved in.”
The project came about when Max Farrar, secretary of the Remember Oluwale charity contacted author Sarah Bradley who runs Fictions of Every Kind and also has close links with the Big Bookend. “As a charity we think that the arts in all their forms are a marvellous way of raising awareness of difficult issues in a less didactic and more interactive way,” says Farrar. “We have done a lot of work in the past with poets and we are very interested in this creative response to these often emotive and controversial issues. We hope that people will respond with poems and stories that don’t just dwell on the darker aspects of David’s story but also on the positive steps that have been made by the city towards helping people in his position and looking to the future to a better, more just society.” The charity has raised money to fund the building of a Garden of Hope in the centre of Leeds, close to the area where Oluwale was last seen alive and work is scheduled to begin in April.
Bradley is part of the team of first readers for the competition – and it has got off to a good start. “We have had a lot of entries already which is brilliant,” she says. “It is such a good way of keeping David’s memory alive and it’s really important to keep reminding people of his experiences. Although his death was nearly fifty years ago, the issues he had to deal with are still being faced by people today.”
For more details about the competition and how to enter visit www.bigbookend.co.uk/rememberoluwalewritingprize
The deadline for submissions is March 6.

President Barack Obama is expected to sign a bill this morning that would give home buyers eligible for the tax credit three more months to close, a measure that cleared Congress late Wednesday before the midnight deadline.
As a marathon of last-minute closings took place across the nation, the Senate voted by unanimous consent to approve a House bill that would extend the deadline to midnight Sept. 30 on contracts signed by April 30.
First-time buyers can get up to $8,000 and repeat buyers up to $6,500.
Senate majority leaders had attached the popular extension to less popular bills during the past few weeks, but with those bills going nowhere as the clock ticked, they abandoned that tactic Wednesday night and expedited approval of an extension.
The bill was delivered Thursday to the White House. Byrd was the longest-serving lawmaker in Senate history.
Buyers would be covered retroactively whether the extension becomes law this week or even next month, but the National Association of Realtors argued that a lot of sellers would back out of deals without a timely extension.
The group had estimated that 180,000 deals nationwide - about 9,200 in New York State - would not close by the June 30 deadline.

JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA
In yet another gory act of Vandalism and brutality, the police force bludgeoned hundreds of innocent students of JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA on the night of 9th April 2000, highlighting the prejudiced and biased attitude of the government towards Muslim Universities in general, and Muslims in particular.
According to several eyewitnesses, a large contingent of police force barged into the Central library, SRK Hostel, Pink House, White house and Sartaj Hostel, where hundreds of students were engaged in serious preparations for their ongoing annual examinations.
Within a few moments, the peaceful atmosphere was transformed, as this craven bunch of policemen pounded upon the hapless students who ran helter-skelter. The police force used all its brutal might to thrash any student they encountered with lathis, and whatever other potent objects they could use. The fact that the entire operation was pre-planned, could be judged from the fact that a part of the police force was engaged in sealing the exit points of the campus, to take out their grudge against the university.
The majority of students present were severely assaulted on their heads and other parts of the body, even as they ran haywire with no route to escape. The intensity of the spell of terror let loose by the police could be seen in the university hostels, where innocent students were dragged out of their rooms and thrashed on by one.
The doors of the rooms and the toilets which were bolted by the terrorized students were broken and the police showed no mercy. Such was the nature of this inhumane act that a few students jumped from the second and third floors of the SRK hostel to escape from this communal pack of hounds.
In the end scores of students were left injured, some of them seriously, while many other students (200-250) were arrested for further ill-treatment.
The whole exercise gave the impression as though the people sitting in the library and hostels were not students, but hardcore militants and ISI agents and the police had to settle some score.
The dastardly act did not stop here, it was merely a beginning. The arrested students taken to various police stations were identified on the basis of their religion and the treatment was meted out to them accordingly.
In the Srinivaspuri police station, the Muslim students were separated out and flayed with iron rods, and if any one of them happened to have a beard an enormous thrashing was in store. For these hapless chosen few, some policemen were especially ordered to carry out their act of castigation. These boys were beaten mercilessly, and were repeatedly threatened with dire consequences.
In one instance, a policeman pulled the bread of a student and mocked "Where is your Allah? Call your Allah for help. You ISI agents! Say Nare-Takbeer Allaho-Akbar."
Photographs and thumb impressions of students were taken as though they were some notorious criminals and all the students were formally charged for god knows what. Some students were later shifted to the Tihar Jail.
It has been revealed by the students who were released form the police-stations after 24-hours of arrest that food was not given for the entire time, they were in the custody. A few gulps of water was what they got. They also revealed that the 66 students shifted to the Tihar Jail were the one's who were greviously assaulted in the police-stations. Out of these 11 are brutally disabled. And four are on the verge of death. This was done as an attempt on the part of the police so that their acts don't go public. The students in Tihar have not been released so far.
How dare can the government talk of democracy and secularism when these sought of incidents keep happening from time to time. All the facts notwithstanding, one question remains to be answered. How dare the police force storm the university campus, without the permission from the university. Would have the police force acted in the same way, had it been some other university. The answer is a simple "NO"!. Jamia Millia Islamia was attacked simply because it is a Muslim university, and the policemen enjoy each wound they inflict on Muslims, to satisfy their communal passions.
We, the students of Jamia, urge the government and other concerned citizens of this country to bring to the book all the police personnel involved in this savage attack. Even a punishment like termination from jobs is far from justice. These dastards have not only inflicted serious injuries but also caused severe mental trauma which will haunt the students for long. These criminals in uniforms have played with the career of the students, their dreams and aspirations. All the students affected should be compensated as soon as possible.
We only want justice, nothing more. Otherwise we will lose whatever little faith left we have in our so called democratic and secular country.
Help us fight and save the careers of innocent students.

As expected, the Flyers went forward-heavy in the draft.
In the fourth round, the Flyers pick a player who was highly regarded.
In a bit of a surprise, the Flyers took a goalie early in the draft.
The Flyers traded up in the second round of the NHL Draft and took 6-6 winger Isaac Ratcliffe, who models his game after Rick Nash.

Nolan Patrick has no hard feelings about slipping to No. 2 in the draft.
The NBCSN analyst was unrestrained in his enthusiasm about Nolan Patrick and about the Flyers' future, starting immediately.
Patrick fell to the Flyers at No. 2, and the team selected an 18-year-old prospect they hope will help their franchise immediately.
Nolan Patrick is NHL-ready, scouts say, and could play for the Flyers in 2017-18.
The Flyers' first pick will almost certainly be … one of these two guys, the one the Devils don't take.
The Flyers will land an impact player with the No. 2 pick in the draft Friday night.
It sounds as if Michal Neuvirth and New Jersey native Anthony Stolarz will not be the Flyers' goalie tandem this season.

Gold headed for new highest prices
Precious metal has been helped by a number of positive factors. Earlier the prices have gone down and briefly stood around US$1,672. but then turned to growth and are keeping up the dynamic for two sessions straight.
First of all, traders around the world are trying to avoid risks. The markets are still under pressure of the pandemic-related anxieties. The fears have been further reinforced by latest news of new cases in China, which provoked the discussion about the second wave of COVID-19.
Most investors are still not ready to leave safe-haven investments. However, the US dollar has not been making any significant gains. The currency has stayed mostly depressed after the Federal Reserve’s reveal of the new credit package worth US$2.3 trillion.
Oil markets also did not see any noticeable growth despite new OPEC agreement. While all the major stocks remain depressed, gold might reach new highest level.


Ofcom is seeking industry support about proposed changes to update spectrum and amateur radio licensing.
The UK regulator said the proposals include changes which would provide amateurs with access to some frequency bands in the 470 kHz and 5 MHz bands respectively.
However, users of the spectrum are restricted if the Ministry of Defence says they’re causing interference.
"If the licensee is notified that the radio equipment is causing interference to the services…the licensee must close down the radio equipment and not use it until it can be used without causing such interference," Ofcom said in a report.
The consultation follows a decision by Ofcom in April to remove access for amateur radio operators to certain frequencies in the 2300 MHz and 3400MHz ranges in order to support the release of these bands by the MoD.
Ofcom is also proposing to change the license condition, which currently states that amateurs can only communicate with other amateurs, as well as permitting encryption for amateurs involved in RAYNET (Radio Amateurs’ Emergency Network) operations.
"The PSSR Statement gave 12 months’ notice that licences will be varied to remove these bands and set out our decision formally to vary individual licences so that the changes would become effective from April 2015," the report added.
The consultation closes on 20 October 2014.


text: Microstructure evolution during the formation of B2–NiAl by high energy ball milling of equiatomic elemental mixtures was studied by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallite size, lattice defects and ordering of the B2–NiAl were monitored via TEM as function of milling time. The diffusion reaction, Ni+Al→NiAl3 or/and Ni2Al3, occurred during high energy ball milling, and to a certain extent offered the stored energy for the explosive exothermic reaction, Ni+Al→B2–NiAl. The fine microstructure of newly formed B2–NiAl after 5 h milling involved high density defects, e.g. antiphase boundary, long range ordering domains, vacancies, and dislocations.

The Election Commission of India on Tuesday directed the Tamil Nadu government to suspend former Chengalpattu Superintendent of Police (SP) D Kannan with immediate effect.
D Kannan has been booked under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Women Act for allegedly stopping a woman IPS officer from lodging a sexual harassment complaint against a former Special DGP.
The woman officer had filed a sexual harassment case against former Special DGP Rajesh Das. D Kannan's name was added to the case after the woman officer mentioned that he blocked her vehicle as she was on her way to Chennai to register her complaint.
The Commission directed D Kannan's suspension based on the Home Department's report and the case filed by the Crime Branch CID under Sections 354 A (2), 304 and 506 (i) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Tamil Nadu Prohibition of Harassment of Woman Act.
Besides the suspension, the poll panel has also directed the state government to initiate disciplinary action against Kannan.
"Considering the gravity of the case and report of the Home Department of Tamil Nadu, the Commission has directed that D Kannan be placed under suspension immediately and disciplinary proceedings initiated against him," the Election Commission said in its letter to the state government.
It added that a report in the regards should be sent to the Commission by 11 am on Wednesday.


Chat with Hope Solo
Solo won best goal keeper for the 2011 World Cup.
Welcome to SportsNation! On Tuesday, U.S. women's national soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo stops by to chat about Team USA's performance in the World Cup. Solo and Alex Morgan appeared earlier Tuesday on First Take.
Solo joined the U.S. national team in 2000, after playing for several junior national teams. She was an alternate on the 2004 Olympic team before being named the team's starting goalkeeper in 2005, wtarting seven of the team's next nine matches and earning seven shutouts.
Solo started the first four games of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in her first world championship, allowing just eight goals and had three shutouts in a third place finish.

Aero Friedrichshafen Opens Today, AVweb Is There
Aero Friedrichshafen, which opens today and runs through Sunday, is continuing to grow, and attracting a wide range of exhibitors eager to expand in the European market. Overall, 625 exhibitors from 27 countries are setting up at the show, with German companies in the lead, followed by companies from the U.S. and the Czech Republic. AVweb is staffing the show and will have reports later in the week. Many companies have expanded their space compared to the last show. The show is the biggest for gliders from around the world, and ultralights, LSAs, and helicopters are robustly represented. An E-Flight Expo will showcase aircraft with electrical propulsion, new solar technologies and other innovative propulsion concepts. The show also provides an opportunity for GA folk from various places to meet, and Dan Johnson, chairman of the Light Aircraft Manufacturing Association, said that could have some significant repercussions, perhaps leading to a universal standard for light sport aircraft. "A Certification Specification for Light Sport Aircraft (CS-LSA) is working its way through the European Union and at Aero, some key meetings are planned to help EASA personnel get with FAA people and ASTM committee members," Johnson wrote at his blog this week. "Dull? Maybe ... But look at the prize: the potential for a worldwide standard for LSA."
Johnson said if a universal ASTM standard can be created, U.S. companies could work to enlarge their market in Europe at dramatically lower cost than for type-certificated airplanes, which must gain approval country-by-country. "Can we expect LSA to give birth to a global aircraft certification standard?" asks Johnson. "Possibly, and my best analogy is jet or auto fuel. In every country on Earth, these fuels meet non-governmental ASTM standards. If it works for major commodities like airline and auto fuel, many believe it can work for light-sport aircraft."

By Space Coast Daily // December 20, 2019
12-foot and four inches, 1000 Pounds
ABOVE VIDEO: White shark Ironbound is one heck of a tough shark. Captain Brett says he has only encountered a couple of sharks with as much attitude as Ironbound had.
BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA – A new Great White Shark has introduced himself to Brevard County after his tracking device recorded him around 30 miles east from Cocoa Beach this week, according to Ocearch.
‘Ironbound’, weighing in at 1,000-pounds, was recently tagged by Ocearch in October. The male adult shark has since accumulated over 1,200 miles in distance over the last couple of months.
Measuring at 12-feet and four inches, ‘Ironbound’ was named after West Ironbound Island near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
He is the 53rd white shark SPOT-tagged by OCEARCH in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

If the time has come to consider your options for replacing missing or damaged teeth, Harrell Dental Implant Center has solutions. Dental implant therapy is changing smiles around the globe due to their strength, durability and completely natural appearance. Our experienced and professional team can talk you through the entire process during your consultation appointment. We will conduct a thorough oral health examination to determine which replacement protocol best suits your needs.
The following article offers more details about the benefits of dental implants:
Reasons to Consider Dental Implants as your Tooth Replacement Option
- Stop your teeth from shifting into the empty space – When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will eventually begin moving to fill in the space. This can cause a number of dental complications. Unevenly spaced or crowded teeth are harder to keep clean and could cost you a fortune down the road in orthodontic care. Placing a dental implant now will keep your teeth properly spaced and make it easy to keep them clean.
- Conserve your jawbone – If you choose to place a fixed bridge instead of getting a dental implant, your jawbone will eventually begin to deteriorate underneath the missing tooth. This occurs because you don’t receive adequate stimulation to the bone without a tooth root. The same occurs with dentures that are not implant-supported. The longer you wait to get dental implants, the more likely it is that your jawbone may lack the integrity to get implants in the future without a dental bone graft.
- Implant-supported dentures – Many people complain of a wide variety of complications with their dentures. Poor fit, sores in their mouths, sunken lips, and food restrictions. If you wear dentures, you can get a fixed, permanent solution with implant-supported dentures. There are various procedures available and some even support a full arch of prosthetic teeth with as few as four implants.
- Preserve your appearance – When your jawbone begins to deteriorate because of missing teeth, it often causes your face to appear sunken in. This can make you look years older than you are. This is why people with dentures often complain of having thin lips and sunken cheeks. Dental implant posts provide the stimulation your body needs to produce dense, healthy jawbone material and keep your face looking full and youthful. More info at Dynamic Dental
Dentures vs. Dental Implants
Harrell Dental Implant Center wants you to enjoy long-lasting dentition that guarantees a vibrant, healthy smile. While dentures used to be the best tooth replacement option, times have changed. Dental implants are by far the better option for preserving the integrity of one’s smile. Check out this comparison of dentures and implants courtesy of the Vancouver Centre for Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry:
Some of the most common problems with dentures are that they tend to move in the mouth, especially while eating and/or talking. They collect and trap food which can lead to gums problems, decay and further tooth loss. They affect ones’ sense of taste and texture of foods — many of my patients have said that they either can no longer taste their food or have lost the enjoyment of foods because the “taste has been altered.”
They can be uncomfortable to eat with especially as they move and/or get food caught underneath. Some people cannot tolerate them at all because they find it causes them to gag. The additional thickness and foreignness of the denture can make it difficult to speak clearly.
The bone underneath the denture continues to atrophy and shrink — this becomes a greater problem affecting the stability and looseness of the denture the longer the teeth have been missing. As the bone atrophies the denture can begin to put pressure on critical structures in the mouth, such as muscle attachments and nerves, making them very uncomfortable to eat with.
Many people with dentures avoid certain foods because they are just too difficult or painful to eat, such as raw foods, chewy or sticky foods and anything hard. A person’s bite force and ability to ‘cut through foods is decreased.
Studies have shown that people with dentures don’t chew their food properly and swallow larger bits of food. Not only does this diminish one’s enjoyment of food, it also puts a greater burden on the digestive system. Keep reading at VCCID

Netsky - Iron Heart (Nu:Logic Remix)
No of Discs:
Slip Sleeve (CD or Vinyl)
From the very inception of both Hospital Records and Med School Music, right up to the present day there's no disputing the impact that the world of vinyl and it's community has had on the trajectory and success of both our labels. With it officially being 4 years since our last release in conjunction with the seminal music collectors celebration of vinyl culture, we're proud to present our latest contribution to Record Store Day featuring two remixes of equally essential releases from both labels. On the A-Side is a rework of Netsky's infamous 'Iron Heart' from Hospital's Cambridge based duo Nu:Tone and Logistics, back for another bout as production powerhouse and force of D+B nature, Nu:Logic. Waves of soul layered with playful undertones below the original supercharged synth work for equal doses of nostalgia and energy on this one. The B-Side features the Med School component of the release, and in true Med School fashion brings the plot twist hard and heavy. Classic 'Begin By Letting Go' by Etherwood is transformed into a stomping-ground growler by fellow Med School sonic surgeon Whiney, who effortlessly retains all the original's euphoric melancholy elements while dialling up the danger for a bittersweet stepper ready to claw its way through dancefloors across the world. Approach with caution.

When I try to start the engine while warm, it will turn over normally but it won't fire. When the car does eventually fire, the engine will catch, shudder and chug as if it is not getting enough gas. Then the car will jerk and stall out.
If I press the gas pedal when the engine fires, I can push through the chugging, stuttering stage and the engine will stay running but the idle will be very rough.
If I let the car sit for couple hours after it was warmed up, (so the engine is cool again) it will start up normally.
I have had new plugs and wires installed.
Fuel pump tested o.K.
Fuel Filter replaced.
Crank shaft sensor replaced.
I had the entire fuel system and spark plugs thouroughly cleaned.
No sensor lights are on.
I have invested over $1000 in the car and it still has this problem. Does anyone know what is going on? I would really appreciate any input as I am really not in a situation where I can afford to buy a new car.
Thanks so much!
have the same problem?
