Extensive Research Description
My research focuses on the development of high-dimensional biomarkers of human aging, and applying these and other aging outcome measures to study how genetic and social factors coalesce to produce between-person differences in the rate of aging, lifespans, and healthspan.
One of the major goals of geroscience research is to define 'biomarkers of aging'. At the population-level, aging can be measured as the mortality rate doubling time (MRDT), derived from the Gompertz equation. However, there remains a need for individual-level measures of aging that can account for differences in the timing of disease onset, functional decline, and risk of death over the life course. While chronological age is arguably the strongest risk factor for aging-related death and disease, it is important to distinguish chronological time from biological aging. Individuals of the same chronological age may exhibit greatly different susceptibilities to age-related diseases and death, which is likely reflective of differences in their underlying biological aging process. Reliable biomarkers of aging will be crucial for enabling instantaneous evaluation of interventions aimed at slowing the aging process, by providing a measurable outcome other than incidence of death and/or disease, which require extremely long follow-up observation. I have published a number of papers presenting various methods for calculating composite biological age estimates from clinical and/or molecular biomarkers. My most recent work has focused on the use of genome-wide DNA methylation to estimate "epigenetic aging", given that chronological time has been shown to elicit predictable hypo- and hyper-methylation changes at many regions across the genome. Many of the measures I have developed have been shown to predict remaining life expectancy and disease risk significantly better than chronological age. Further, my work has demonstrated that between-person differences in these measures relate to genetic, sociodemographic, and behavioral factors.
Cognitive Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease
My recent work has used multidisciplinary approaches and collaborations to examine the genomics, epigenomic, and transcriptomic networks associated with cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease. For instance, I have explored the associations between Alzheimer’s related neuropathology and epigenetic measures of aging in prefrontal cortex. I have also led work on modeling trajectories of cognitive decline for longitudinal studies. Based on this, I developed an easily interpretable composite measure of cognitive age, for which level and change can be contrasted against chronological age to characterize individuals with accelerated decline. Finally, as PI on an R01, I am integrating genetic, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic data (from three brain regions) to identify multi-scale networks that underlie AD resilience among high risk individuals, such as ApoE e4+.
Biological Resilience Susceptibility to aging and age-related disease may vary across individuals, as a result of complex interactions at the genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and environmental levels. Previously I’ve investigated underlying mechanisms of resilience by studying long-lived smokers. This work built upon the phenomena of hidden heterogeneity and mortality selection, showing that current smokers who had survived to age 80 and beyond did not exhibit higher mortality rates compared to never-smokers of the same age (mortality had 'selected for' a resilient group). In a subsequent study, I used network methods to compare the genetic signatures of long-lived smokers and normal-lived smokers, in order to identify mechanisms which allow certain individuals to survive despite repeated exposure to environmental stressors. My work has also examined whether epigenetic measures of aging capture resilience/vulnerability in relation to lung cancer risk among smokers.
Genetics of Complex Traits I have worked on a number of projects examining the genetics of complex traits, with the goal of developing polygenic scores. I have also worked on developing novel network-based methods for identifying pleiotropic gene networks that relate across aging and longevity phenotypes.
The Role of Behaviors and Environment in Aging, Health, and Mortality
I have examined how exogenous factors such as social disadvantage, education, trauma, race/ethnicity, smoking, diet, and air pollution influence health and aging, both in humans and in model organisms. For instance, my work has examined the role of protein consumption in lifespan and cancer, using data from humans, mice, and yeast. This paper was published as the cover article in Cell Metabolism, and to date, the article has the highest impact score in history for the journal. Additionally, my work has investigated alterations in late-life inflammatory gene expression in response to early-life and contemporaneous social environment, and has explored the effects of air pollution exposure on alterations in gene expression networks.

CLEVELAND- Activists calling for charges against the two Cleveland police officer involved in the death of Tamir Rice delivered a petition to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday.
The demonstrators marched from the Free Stamp at Willard Park to the Cuyahoga County Justice Center.
“This really comes down to how we treat one another and how we respect one another, and if we engage with each other in fear, we`re going to continue to kill each other,” Carmen Lane, of the Tamir Rice Commitee for Justice, said.
Eight months ago, Cleveland police were called to the Cudell Recreation Center for a report of a male waving a gun. Officers said they warned the boy to put down the weapon before shooting him. Rice died the next day and the gun turned out to be airsoft.
Tamir’s cousin, LaTonya Goldsby, said the petition has 60,000 signatures.
“We have been fighting this cause for eight months, so it brings us a little bit of comfort knowing we have the support of the community, but we also want to see action,” Goldsby said.
The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office turned over its investigation findings into Rice’s death to the prosecutor’s office early last month.

just what i was looking for 05/28/2014
custom height and tilt, comfortable, good for FPS games and games like DOTA 2. Solid sturdy feeling. Made with quality materials. Im right handed and the buttons on the thumb side are perfectly placed, and the buttons on the pinky side are well placed too. It still is awkward because they are so perfectly placed for my hand that my ring finger and my pinky finger fall directly on the buttons. This makes it feel like one of your fingers is touching both at the same time, but it isnt. (its weird i know). The dpi is super smooth. After getting this mouse my KD ratio in CS GO is substantially better and also in dota its an almost unfair advantage. I could have went with the naga series but i wanted something for all game types and this fits the bill
The software has good intentions and lets you set macros, profiles, lighting, etc. Its visually appealing but a little clunky. When updating from the tte sports website the software version still displays the v1.0 even after i installed 1.2
great mouse, im very happy with it and it matches (military green) with my themed system. I am probably going to buy another one, diff color to match my laptop
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) is a UK charity (charity number: 289145) which sees more than 80,000 women nationally to provide reproductive healthcare advice and services. Pregnancy, especially those which are unexpected, can cause many issues including health complications and BPAS works with women to give them the support that they need during hard times throughout pregnancy. BPAS also provide contraception and STI testing.
I visited the Northampton branch to discuss the work that the charity does and to learn more about how they can help the residents of our town. BPAS were able to outline that – thanks to the work of reproductive healthcare organisations – there has been a dramatic improvement in sexual and reproductive health outcomes in recent years. For example, figures have shown a reduction in the teenage pregnancy rate in our town. I believe that women should be given all the support that they need during pregnancy and that professional counselling on all the options available to women can only be a positive. Having the information allows women to make the right choices for them and their families.

Driven by passion for excellence inspired by the creative ingenious works of famous humanitarians and celebrities, beautiful Zambian Actress and community development benefactor, Matildah Muchindu shared captivating stories of her journey to greatness.
In this interesting story, ‘beckoned by destiny”, Matildah explained her family background, philosophy of life, Movie industry and her intention to establish a Non-Governmental organization to give back to her community through sustainable development of both human and infrastructures excerpts:
“As an author, it has been my dream to tell my life’s story. With mixed reactions, I was pushed by my friends and step brothers also jokingly nicknamed me a “witch” with strong advice to meet top Nigerian actress, Patience Ọzọkwo, popularly known in the movie industry as Mama Gee.
During that confronting times, I had no idea that it was a dream come true. So, when I started writing my books, I realized that its important that I should enroll in a film school, particularly for acting in Brisbane, Australia. I was offered admission but left unceremoniously due to lack of understanding, script analysis etc; but the zeal never faded.
I am a strong person because of my polygamous background, so, I never gave up when the institution suspended me, at the school of filming. Though, I was supposed to finish Diploma in filming within 4months after spending 1 year, 6-months. Fortunately, I earned certificate in filming as I passed the rest of the subjects.
Amazed by the stage name “Maddie Mitchell, sincerely, I was inspired by the joke or bullying to the next level of becoming an Actress, film producer and author.
As a mother, it’s joyful to narrate my story in a stylish way, by turning my memoire and family book into a blockbuster movie. As destiny preludes, my book was scripted into a movie because I had to accommodate fans and viewers that cannot read but can comfortably understand and relate with my movie; thus get inspired.
Its my dream to work with two top actress in my forthcoming project, because mama Sola Sobowale inspires me a lot she brings joy and laughter in people’s lives. I admire her a lot. Just like the way I fell in love with Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama Gee, having worked in two movies with her. Working with Mama Sola Sobowale would be a dream come true.
As an actress, working with Oghenekaro Itene on a great movie would be wonderful given that she inspires me especially when I feel like quitting.
It is my determination as a real strong African woman who has faced many obstacles in my quest to achieve my dreams and inspire millions of particularly, women of African descent. Yes, I am true, committed to my vision to herald a new narrative in my beloved Zambia, Africa, in globally.
I have discovered that the internet is a huge and lucrative part of the movie industry with so many platforms, especially with Covid-19 outbreak. Corona virus has helped many to either work from home, meetings and for some people isolation and just staying connected is very important. However, without the internet, there cannot be movies during the outbreak as the impact on our movie industry is unprecedented.
By providing a developmental school, as my vision in education is for people especially women and children acquire better education unlike me that never had the opportunity to fulfill my academic goals.
Giving back to my community is by telling my story hoping to inspire people and educate them through my struggled experience for a better society, especially young women all over the world not just my country.
Life is in phases and it is my dream to create job opportunities, assist widows, youths to discover themselves and achieve financial freedom in different ways particular to them.
The film industry in Africa is booming and I intend to support and invest in the sector to maximize the potentials which will improve revenue in the continent.
I strongly believe that rise by lifting others as my mantra in human capacity development and infrastructural provision for a peaceful, viable, healthy and safer world.

Over the past 10 years or so I have gained a good amount of experience when it comes to food. I have learned what works for me, I have learned that not every-body reacts the same to food, nutrition plans or diets (amongst other things). I don’t claim to have all the answer because like I said, every-body is different and it has different needs. However, Over the past 10 years I have learned some things along the way that can help out a lot of people, no matter who you’re, where you live or how active you’re throughout the day.
#1 It takes time to get it right
Nutrition takes time. Over weeks, months and years you will figure out what foods work for you, what quantity you need them in etc.. Just because you feel like crap after trying something new for the first time doesn’t mean that it’s not the right thing for you.
Give yourself at least 2 weeks of trying something new before thinking of changing it up.
#2 Give your body time to change
Going off my last point, changing your eating habits might take a day, but changing your bodies habits will take a little bit longer. What I mean by this, is that your body needs to get used to your new way of eating. the best example I can give: Sugar is quite literally like a drug; your body starts asking for more and more to get the same effect (the well-known sugar cravings). When you try to reduce that sugar intake it will take your body somewhere between 2-4 weeks to actually change its habits and stop asking for sugar. Yes, you might feel like crap, but just like rehabbing from drugs, that’s the initial part you have to go through in order to get better.
#3 Avoid (added) sugar
Like I always say, I am not the first person to tell you that sugar is bad, but I might be the first to tell you why. As I talked about earlier, sugar works the exact same way as drugs. Your body needs more and more of it just to get the same effect/stimulus. It’s because you ”unwillingly or unknowingly” jumped on a rollercoaster that’s really hard to get out off. By eating sugar our blood sugar level spikes up tremendously, insulin gets pumped into the bloodstream to bring those levels down, your body starts asking for sugar again because it wants more energy. You can see that this is a continuous cycle that will keep going until you put a stop to it, by ”simply” eating less sugar on a daily basis.
#4 Whole foods are the key
I love talking about the influence of eating more wholefoods with people because it effects so many different aspects of our nutrition all at once.
Eating Whole foods means:
- Eating less sugar
- Eating less processed foods (usually full of sugar)
- Maintain a better energy level throughout the day
- Get more vitamins, micronutrients in
- whole foods satisfy your body more, which means less carvings.
You can see with just these 5 points; we cover a lot of the aspects of our nutrition that qualify as ”unhealthy” and turn them into ”healthy”
A simple rule to follow for whole foods: If it has a label with processed ingredients on there, if you can’t pronounce some of the ingredients or if it doesn’t have a shelve life, it’s not considered to be a whole food.
#5 Try different things
Nobody is the same, which means that food is most likely to affect you differently than the person next to you. Let’s say that living a keto lifestyle works really well for me, but it might make you feel really depleted. Of course, we have to keep in mind that there are different ways of approaching this. To give you an example:On a keto diet (high fat) you could take the route of eating cheese, bacon and peanut butter all day long, but that’s probably not going to benefit your health as much as mixing in foods like avocado’s, different nuts, seeds and healthy oils. Keep in mind that was just an example, every nutrition guide or diet has its own pitfalls like this one.
*Remember to give it time. Don’t change up everything after trying something for only one day.

Why this is important to Wisconsin businesses: Wisconsin companies can contribute to the technological revolution taking place in the finance, health, education and retail sectors.
While the whole world is collectively fighting against COVID-19, the Netherlands remains one of a few countries in Europe to have not entered an enforced widespread lockdown. However, the pandemic has still impacted the Dutch economy, with people staying home even without a strict lockdown.
Two major trends emerging in the Netherlands are a push toward digital transformation and growing demand for smart technologies. With Dutch citizens working from home and children learning online, people turning to digital technologies to stay connected. In addition, in some workplaces, further automation is required to relieve the effects of COVID-19. In all areas of business and private life—learning, work, health, commerce, administration—the demand for digital solutions has increased, and further acceleration of digitization is likely.
Specific opportunities exist for Wisconsin companies in:
- Information technology and financial technology: digital banking solutions and services, cybersecurity
- Health care: health information technology/ e-health solutions
- Education: solutions for online learning and classroom technology, blended learning solutions
- Retail: self-checkout technology, e-commerce services
For example, even though the transportation sector is experiencing challenges resuting from COVID-19, logistics platform providers such as Quicargo and Simacan are experiencing a positive effect on dry freight sharing and connected-as-a-service cloud platforms. Such cloud platforms, however, require high security standards, which will create further business opportunities in the cybersecurity sector.
In the health care sector, the e-health trend in the Netherlands has been accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis. While in pre-pandemic times, videoconferencing and digital consultations were used by a small minority, the pandemic has pushed many more health care providers into the digital arena. Providers of web accessibility for the health care market are gaining importance.
In the Dutch e-learning market, the pandemic has been a catalyst for the development of online education and e-learning platforms, in the corporate as well as the education sector. As more companies are providing training on their corporate intranet, they are seeking e-learning options that offer personalized education that adapts to the individual learner’s existing knowledge and speed of learning, and Dutch e-learning providers are being challenged to meet the new demand for these products.
In the retail sector, the pandemic has forced retailers to rethink their traditional commerce model. For example, Dutch retail shops are now developing dynamic pricing strategies based on buying behavior. E-commerce portals are growing in popularity as customers increasingly prefer to stay at home and place orders for delivery. The increasing demand for online shopping will create new business opportunities as niche markets emerge.
Looking at each of these four sectors, the pandemic has added a new perspective on tackling the technological challenges of the future. Businesses with innovative solutions can be part of a long-lasting digital transformation.

EMS agencies need a DUNS number – a unique, free identifier – to bid on government contracts or apply for government grants
If you’ve been researching EMS grants, you’ve probably heard of DUNS. And if you’ve tried to apply for a grant without a DUNS, you know how important they are.
A DUNS number, which stands for Data Universal Numbering System, is a free, unique nine-digit number issued by Dun & Bradstreet to a single business entity.
Your number is yours alone, even if you go out of business. D&B does not reuse or reissue numbers to a second business.
The DUNS number is often called the "Social Security number" for businesses, but there are millions more DUNS numbers than Social Security numbers, and any business in the world can apply for and get a DUNS number. Just about anyone can get a DUNS number, including:
Physicians, lawyers and contractors, examples of self-employed professionals engaged in a specific commercial business activity, also can obtain a DUNS number.
The federal government uses DUNS numbers to identify organizations and companies doing business with the government and provide consistent name and address data for its grant application systems. If you want to bid on government contracts or apply for government grants, you need a DUNS number.
Obtaining a DUNS number is the first of three steps in registering with the federal government procurement systems:
1. DUNS number
2. System for Award Management registration
3. Grants.gov registration
You will also need a DUNS number when you register with any federal agency-specific grant module, such as the National Institutes of Health eRA Commons, the National Science Foundation FastLane and NASA NSPIRE.
This is very important. If you do not complete all your registrations, you cannot submit your application.
Last fall, I worked with a company on a NASA grant application. My client had its DUNS number and registered with NASA NSPIRE. When we started submitting the application, we discovered they had not registered with SAM.
We had seven days before the deadline, but it took eight days to get the SAM registration approved. Eight days, in itself, is a miracle. I tell folks to expect at least two weeks, and up to four weeks, to get their SAM registration approved.
You will need the same information, but from what I have read, the process is easier using the iUpdate website and the SAM website recommends using the iUpdate process.
You will need the following information to register for a DUNS number:
Dun & Bradstreet will then verify your identity to safeguard your organization’s data. They will use a series of challenge questions based on your geographical and demographic data.
Once you have passed the challenge questions, you will create you user identification and password.
It usually takes between one and five days to get your DUNS registration approved, though it might take longer. Don’t wait until the last minute.
If you don’t know if you already have a DUNS number, you can go to DUNS number lookup. You can search by your organization name and location or by your telephone number. If your search comes up negative, you don’t have one.
You should also know the General Services Administration is looking at replacing the DUNS number, in use since the 1970s, with another identification system, once its contract with Dun & Bradstreet expires in 2018.
But don’t let that possible change keep you from getting a DUNS number and the grant access that comes with it.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – Chill Can, which plans to produce in Youngstown, has reached a deal with the largest beverage company in the world — Anheuser-Busch InBev.
There are now two buildings on Chill Can property on Youngstown’s lower east side. They’re sitting on land that is pretty much overrun by weeds as of now.
However, Mitchell Joseph — the CEO of the Joseph Company, which is building the Chill Cans and the Youngstown plant — said his company now has an agreement with Anheuser-Busch InBev. The deal includes making Chill Cans for Anheuser-Busch at the Youngstown plant.
Anheuser-Busch also wants to make five-liter kegs. Heineken has similar types of kegs already on the market.
Those five-liter kegs will also be built in Youngstown and at least, for the time being, they will not be equipped with the Chill Can technology.
Joseph said a lot of the work that is taking place right now is going on inside the building. They’re working on the floors, drywall and offices in Building 1. Next month, they’ll start on locker rooms and sidewalks.
He said, eventually, in the next couple of weeks, ground will be broken for a third plant. Joseph expects construction for Building 3 to start by the end of August.
The entire property will be landscaped and cleaned up.
Joseph hopes to be making cans in Youngstown sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
He said Chill Can is still very much a viable operation and even though it looks like there is not much happening now, he said a lot is going on.
“We are 100% moving forward. We’re looking good.”

To prepare the bride and groom for his or her life as a married couple, their hair is symbolically cut, representing a recent start to their new relationship together as husband and wife. Two performers, representing deities, shall be singing and dancing around the couple. The officiant performs the primary symbolic haircut and wishes the couple happiness, prosperity, and longevity. The bride and groom’s mother and father and family members then take turns to symbolically cut the bride and groom’s hair and give them blessings and well-wishes.

Would you choose to live in poverty for the remainder of your life with a guy who beats you since you don’t bow to him? Unfortunately, many Cambodian ladies endure extreme poverty and unreasonably inhumane therapy. My aim on this online courting website is to discover a man for widespread residing and marriage.
Of course, there is no such thing as a “Cambodian woman price”—you can’t purchase a woman, it doesn’t work like that. You meet Cambodian mail order wives online or offline, fall in love, suggest, and pay for the tickets to visit Cambodia, for the hotel, for the dates, and for the wedding, that’s all. A ticket from the US to Cambodia will price you about $700–$800, every week in Cambodia can value about $300–$500, and in relation to the marriage, it is a bit more complex. Most mail order brides from Cambodia don’t have anything towards becoming a stay-at-home mom. So, if you meet Cambodian girls online will never select a profession over family or children. It explores the significant and escalating phenomenon of trafficking of Cambodian girls and women to China for marriage. Marriage is not only between a person and girl however between households.
10 Most Incredible Cambodian Brides Changing How Exactly We Start To See The World

While US weddings normally take a number of hours, Cambodian ones may last for three days. But some families may have fun their union for 4 and even 5 days. Cambodians are tremendous social, and private area doesn’t imply lots to them. They befriend one another simply and infrequently celebrate holidays within giant communities.
Poor quality of water and soil is especially destructive for kids. Another shiny and pretty typical attribute of Cambodian girls is their diligence. It especially considerations family chores like cooking and cleansing.
Cambodian ladies are simply one of many absolute most open-minded ladies our company’ ve ever seen. In addition to all the nice traits that we now have already mentioned, these women are selfless too.
Xu knew absolutely nothing about Suping’s household either. A market of matchmaking has sprung as a lot as wed poor Cambodian ladies and middle-class Chinese males, spurred by both China’s newfound wealth and one-child coverage.
There are many benefits of marrying a Cambodian lady. They are recognized for being stunning, charming, and loving wives. They also make nice moms, and are all the time loyal and supportive of their husbands. Loving Feel is a credible premium worldwide dating asianbridefinder web site that’s primarily focuses on singles in a search of serious relationships and marriage. My family was poor, and I heard that other people who got here to Taiwan might help their families…
His spouse, Chhieng Ly, was arrested in May and charged under human trafficking legal guidelines for helping a relative who had heard of the nice life in China and wanted to send their daughter. BharatMatrimony – the pioneer in on-line matrimony, is probably the most trusted matrimony service for Millions of Indians worldwide. BharatMatrimony has been recognised as essentially the most trusted on-line matrimony service by the Brand Trust Report.
Most people who head to Cambodia get between $4500 and $7000 per thirty days. A second aspect that units Cambodian women in addition to different worldwide women is certainly their seems.

While Nick Robinson and the Westminster commentariat pore over The Family's latest evasions and manipulation of government ministers, BBC reporters have predictably little to say about their own servility and ability to spike key information.
Part 2 of an excellent Media Lens alert piece on the government's historic dismantling of the NHS asks why the BBC have failed to scrutinise the (innocuously-named) Health and Social Care Bill, investigate the corporate elites who stand to benefit from this last, mass privatisation or cover the widespread protests against it, including the alarmed objections of almost every major medical body.
It's a startling examination from Media Lens detailing the carve-up of our most-cherished public institution, with professionally-considered warnings that "people will die" as a direct consequence of the legislation now passed by parliament.
The damning question for our media is why so few people are actually aware of the bill's dark provisions and calamitous implications.
In a penetrating email, ML asked Robinson why the BBC has offered only a cursory and sanitised account of the issue. No response came back. This was despite Robinson previously contacting ML itself requesting feedback on levels of 'impartialty' within his own field of domestic reporting. Another fig-leaf 'journalistic' exercise tested and found wanting.
Besides noting the executive connections of at least two senior BBC governing figures, Lord Patten and Mike Lynch OBE, to NHS-linked medical firms, ML also highlight the BBC's more institutional reluctance to make difficult waves on key political stories.
As ex-BBC correspondent Tim Llewellyn observes (for ML), there's an increasing "climate of fear" and a deep aversion to risk-taking across the organisation:
"it has become an institution that does not like any longer to take anyone on or to challenge received ideas or vested interests or risk being seen to take sides. There is no backbone left in current affairs programmes; news operates on the principle that X says Y and Y says X and this adversarial knockabout is a substitute for real analysis and questioning."As with its timid, negligent coverage of Palestine/Israel, the understood remit is to:
"Leave well alone, report the surface, filter any controversies through studio debates and Question Time, arenas in which, of course, "balance" can be seen to be being practised."It was also noteworthy, in this regard, that, while Channel 4 News (not the most radical of media outlets) were officially barred this week from entering Bahrain, the BBC were given a welcome permit to cover the Formula 1 event and connected protests. One can but assume that this royal dictatorship, like Saudi Arabia, feel sufficiently trusting of the BBC not to report the conflict in a way that over-vilifies a key Western ally.
As with Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria, the BBC can be relied upon to keep any 'investigative' questions on Western aggression to a comfortable minimum - all under the respectable fabrication of 'balanced' reportage.
But the careful marginalisation of the NHS issue illustrates how the BBC also helps keep crucial, sensitive issues at home effectively under wraps. As with its reserved coverage of British foreign policy, people will die and suffer in hospital wards here due to political action which the BBC has served to conceal.
For all its well-publicised sins, including support for every Western-inflicted war, the influential Murdoch empire, driven primarily by the profit motive, does not command the same automatic respect and public-serving aura of the BBC, a privilege which invests in the latter the very essence of a reliable and trustworthy provider of news and information.
So, in terms of suppressing vital public information, supporting Britain's mass killing, covering the political establishment's back and maintaining a gatekeeper check on any form of dissent, which organisation is the most guilty, Murdoch's or the BBC?
The very suggestion that the BBC could even be equated with Murdoch's villainous crimes and intrigues will seem far-fetched to many - and preposterous to 'self-examining' people like Robinson.
But measured by the overall confidence placed in their respective outlets and the scale of actual distortion, omission and protection, the complicit (in)actions and propaganda function of the BBC places the Murdoch operation in a league well below the premier position of our state media.

MU joins online carpooling service
The program, called RideShare, is a free service.
Oct. 01, 2010
MU has joined the new online program RideShare, a website that provides students who are traveling to the same place an easy way to network with each other.
RideShare, a free service, is still in its initial beta testing stage, and MU is only the third school to join this new program. It follows Brigham Young University and the University of South Florida.
Student Auxiliary Services spokeswoman Michelle Froese said in an e-mail that because the university is participating in the beta testing program, the service is free of charge to MU. Similar services charge up to $10,000 for campuses to access the software.
To access the website, users must create an account and join MU’s online group. Then, all the other users from that area are shown, along with a picture of them, past carpools they have participated in and any pending rides.
RideShare also sends students instant notifications through e-mail or their cell phones to let them know when someone has posted a ride going to their home city.
Froese said in the past, when campus was smaller, there was an actual ride board in the Brady Commons. The ride board was a large wooden map of the U.S. with pegs where students could leave their names and contact information to see if anyone wanted to share a ride to a certain location.
“Those were the days when we weren’t inundated with stories of serial killers, etc.,” Froese said. “The former program would not meet the safety standards we would want for our students today.”
On RideShare, all a student’s personal information is kept private, and there is no spam or sharing information with a third party.
Right now, RideShare is an unknown concept to most MU students.
“I think RideShare is a good program for people who want to use it, but I would personally rather carpool with my friends,” freshman Kaleigh Whiston said after being informed of how the website works.
Former BYU student Matthew Scott said he hasn’t had much luck with the RideShare website.
“I first interacted with the ‘Ride Board’ at BYU,” Scott said. “The website seems to be an outgrowth of that concept, because the ride board had so much trust built into it.”
Scott said students knew who was posting, and they had more peace of mind when sharing a ride with someone.
“I think it sounds like a pretty risky business, if you were to ride with a stranger,” freshman Dylan Macoubrie said. “I’d prefer to text my friends to carpool, not use a website.”
According to RideShare’s website, a part of RideShare’s profits are donated to charities, such as Clean Media United, Enterprise Mentors International and United Angels Foundation.

For Rep. Miranda, a Black Democrat representing the fifth Suffolk District, the maternal health bill she filed is personal.
“I grew up in Roxbury, and these communities, which I represent, have been underrepresented during my time,” Miranda told House members during a remote session Tuesday afternoon. “I watched my little sister give birth to her daughter and she almost didn’t survive.”
“They are not listening to Black women and their needs. Not in the hospital,” she added. “I do not want to be next.”
The House unanimously passed the bill Miranda filed with Rep. Kay Khan, a Newton Democrat and Sen. Becca Rausch, a Needham Democrat. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
House Speaker Robert DeLeo credited Miranda and Khan, as well as Reps. Aaron Michlewitz and Daniel Cullinane, for working on the bill.
“The House understands that an important part of addressing racism is battling systemic and institutional barriers to equity, such as racial disparities in health care. We want to make sure all women are treated equitably by our healthcare system,” the Winthrop Democrat said in a statement.
The legislation, H. 4818, would create a commission to study maternal health and specifically the underlying drivers of racial disparities of maternal mortality, which refers to the death of a woman during pregnancy or within one year of a pregnancy ending.
The 23-member commission would examine and report on access to prenatal and postpartum care, quality of care, affordability of and access to birthing centers and medical homes, the cultural competency and diversity of maternal health care providers and other factors that contribute racial disparities in maternal health.
The commission would also have to report on steps other states and grassroots organizations have taken to reduce maternal mortality rates and what data the commonwealth has available on the material mortality and morbidity rates.
The commission would include one member of the Massachusetts Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Review Committee. The organization, convened in 1998, reviews pregnancy-related deaths in Massachusetts, but the committee lags behind in its reporting. The last review, published in September 2017, looks at maternal mortality rates between 2012 and 2014.
One of the most recent and reports highlighting racial disparities in maternal morbidity rates was published in 2014 and cites data for more than a decade ago.
The pregnancy-associated mortality report, which reviewed data between 2000 and 2007, found that the mortality rate for pregnant black women was 1.9 times higher compared to the rate for pregnant non-Hispanic white women.
When Miranda addressed her colleagues Tuesday, she noted the high disparities between Black pregnant women and their white counterparts.
“Here in Massachusetts, Black women die at twice the rate of white women and we have the best health care in the country. This legislation is not only timely. It is important and necessary,” she said.
Dr. David Rosman, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, said in a statement that the society would back the recommendations that come out of the commission.
“This vital undertaking is a necessary step in remedying a shameful history of racial injustice in health care,” Rosman said.
Miranda also said the legislation does not solve the problem, but is merely a first step.
“The next woman could be my sister or could be me,” she said. “Thank you for this honor of supporting H4818 because every mother counts.”
After the bill passed, Miranda later tweeted that improving access to care is one way of striving toward racial justice.
“All I could think about was my little sister and my friends who have all had challenges with their birthing journies,” she tweeted. “This is for you and Mila. We will start listening to Black women because we are not being more quiet.”

Graham Barden, MD, FAAP
Coastal Children’s Clinic
New Bern, NC
Growing up as the son of a pediatrician, Dr. Graham Barden learned about the role vaccinations play in protecting children’s lives early on in life. His passion for childhood immunization began during his time at Duke University Medical School, where he witnessed children die from terrible, vaccine-preventable diseases, like meningitis. This experience motivated Dr. Barden to continue his father’s fight to protect children from preventable diseases.
Dr. Barden’s research on vaccine storage, along with his strategies to preserve the life and effectiveness of vaccines, is valued and utilized by hundreds of pediatricians, nurses, and other medical professionals nationwide. His research has demonstrated the importance of using vaccine refrigerators instead of domestic refrigerators to store vaccines. Dr. Barden has tirelessly worked to educate healthcare professionals about the storage and handling of vaccines and to help solve vaccine payment difficulties. He helped to create an American Academy of Pediatrics online course on vaccine storage, and has taught other pediatricians how to upgrade their refrigeration and monitoring systems.
Under his leadership, Dr. Barden’s practice has begun serving Medicaid patients, and has added two satellite locations in communities where there were previously no pediatricians. Additionally, Dr. Barden serves as co-chair of the Pediatric Council of the North Carolina Chapter of AAP. He has helped lead efforts with the state Medicaid office; these efforts have resulted in benefits to practices that encourage them to vaccinate more patients.
Dr. Barden’s academic research on vaccine storage and his commitment to vaccinating underserved populations make him North Carolina’s CDC Childhood Immunization Champion.
The CDC just announced the launch of a newly redesigned and improved Vaccine Safety website!

KCG Expands in Europe with Neonet Buy07.28.2016
KCG Holdings has acquired an independent agency broker based in Sweden as the combined firm expects to benefit from a shift in volumes to independent execution-only firms.
The U.S. securities firm has agreed to buy Neonet Securities from its shareholders, Hay Tor Capital, KAS Bank and Cidron Delfi Intressenter Holding, for undisclosed terms. Neonet was founded in 1996 and provides algorithmic trading, smart order routing and sales trading primarily in European equities across 30 public and private markets to approximately 200 clients in more than 20 countries.
Philip Allison, chief executive of KCG Europe Limited, told Markets Media he has had a mandate for expansion in the region since joining the firm two years ago.
‘We offer every business that we have in the U.S. in Europe, but the deal allows us to grow across the board, especially in the electronic business,” Allison added. “NeoNet has good longevity, clients, team and execution services and we can offer investment to take the firm to the next level and build into other areas.”
Allison said the deal will allow KCG to expand its Nordic client base and offer them a range of asset classes. KCG also offers principal trading via exchange-based market making and trading across asset classes including global equities, fixed income, options, currencies and commodities via voice or automated execution.
For example, KCG has Bondpoint, a fixed income trading platform and can trade ETFs. “We have a market making operation for European-listed exchange-traded funds and that is amongst our key strategic aims,” he added.
The transaction is expected to close later this year. After the close Neonet will continue to be led by chief executive Tim Wildenberg and will maintain headquarters in Stockholm.
Wildenberg told Markets Media that Neonet had been organically growing its client business but a recent strategic review had found that the firm was light in the UK but had a heavier concentration in the Nordic region. In addition MiFID II, the new regulations covering financial markets in the European Union, are due to come into force at the beginning of 2018 and will affect every aspect of trading and best execution.
“MiFID II was a driver for seeking investment and the transaction gives us a faster way to achieve growth,” Wildenberg added. “It is a nice fit as both firms are focussed on trading and technology.”
Allison continued that MiFID II was taking the market in a good direction for the market and the combined firm. “We are experts at best execution and algos, and clients will continue to unbundle and seek independent execution,” he added.
Wildenberg said: “The ‘execution only’ space is heating up and we are excited at opportunities for the combined group.”
MiFID II encourages unbundling, the separation of payments for research and trading, which have historically been bundled together in one commission rate.
John Ashdown, managing partner at Hay Tor Capital, said in a statement: “We are delighted that such a major industry participant as KCG will now take the Neonet business forward to the next level at an immensely exciting time of industry transformation in Europe.”
Patrick Young said in his Exchange Invest newsletter: “NeoNet had gone through multiple cycles of struggle without arriving conclusively in conspicuous success nor the demise some had often talked about. This deal makes sense – KCG scales up its client focus post pure HFT play with alacrity and gets some good staff and contacts while NeoNet gets the balance sheet it arguably long required.”
KCG expects the acquisition to be slightly accretive to earnings in 2017. The deal is expected to save costs through the consolidation of exchange memberships, market data, routing and other operational costs.
In its second quarter results last week KCG Holdings reported consolidated earnings of $33.6m.
Daniel Coleman, chief executive of KCG, said in a statement: “Despite relatively poor market conditions for most of the second quarter, KCG produced reasonable financial results. KCG market making in U.S. equities had another strong quarter with a revenue capture of 1.07 basis points. In addition, our franchise ETF desk and KCG BondPoint both showed continued growth in revenues and market share.”
Outside of U.S. equities, market-wide trading activity in the second quarter declined in European equities, U.S. Treasuries and currencies from a year ago.
KCG said: “In the second quarter of 2016, institutional trading activity was tempered in anticipation of the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting and the Brexit referendum in the U.K., affecting U.S. and European equity market volumes.”
Advokatfirman Vinge KB and law firm Sullivan & Cromwell advised KCG. The shareholders of Neonet used NovitasFTCL and Advokatfirman Delphi as financial and legal advisors respectively.
Instinet Fox River Quant Solution will initially be rolled out in the Americas.
Instinet's Anushree Laturkar says investing in research and analysis is key to improving client outcomes.
The new platform launched via a partnership with BestEx Research.
It is the first liquidity-seeking algorithm on Atlas, the equities trading platform introduced in 2019.
Strategy Studio allows brokers to create their own execution platforms.

Behind the Label: Calpol
The Ecologist magazine has done an investigation into Kids medicine which is very revealing.
Calpol of course doesn't just contain paracetamol. It is a veritable cocktail of sweeteners, flavourings, preservatives and colourants to make the product appealing and palatable to infants. These additives include strawberry 'flavouring' and carmoisine (E122- suspected carcinogen, banned in Austria, Japan, Norway, Sweden and the US) to produce its pink colour.
It also contains, Maltitol (a mild laxative), glycerol (E422 - large quantities can cause headaches, thirst and nausea), sorbitol (E420 - large quantities can cause stomach upset), the paraben preservatives methyl parahydroxybenzoate (E218 - suspected hormone disrupter and allergen), propyl parahydroxybenzoate (E216 - suspected hormone disrupter and allergen), ethyl parahydroxybenzoate (E214 - suspected hormone disrupter, banned in France and Australia), and a thickener xanthan gum (E415 - no known adverse effects).
Being such an interesting E-cocktail, it's not surprising that it can cause allergic reactions (such as skin rashes and hayfever-like symptoms), tiredness, unexpected bleeding or tendency towards bruising as well as headache, nausea.
Using paracetamol to treat fever may also result in your child having a seemingly endless round of colds, since the body's natural fever reaction was not allowed to kill the virus causing the illness leaving your child to be reinfected again and again.
E122 and E218 can lead to hyperactivity, and the Hyperactive Children's Support Group identifies them as likely causes of mysterious and sudden cases of ADHD-like hyper-activity.

Saracens absorbed the loss of three England stars to put Harlequins to the sword in a 38-10 Gallagher Premiership victory at The Stoop.
Ben Earl and Elliot Daly were lost to respective knee and hamstring injuries during the warm-up and just seconds into the game Alex Lozowski was forced off after twisting awkwardly when chasing down Marcus Smith.
The champions took the disruption in their stride, however, as they amassed six tries in a London derby that lacked the spite seen in recent years, with Harlequins far too submissive against the league’s best side.
Both teams’ World Cup players were on parade and it was Maro Itoje who stood out among them, the lock catching the eye with a couple of big runs but also proving a handful at close quarters.
— Saracens Rugby Club (@Saracens) November 18, 2023
Marcus Smith and Alex Dombrandt did little to impress England head coach Steve Borthwick, who was watching from the stands, but the fault for a meek Harlequins performance was hardly theirs alone.
Saracens’ pack was typically menacing from start to finish and they supplied the opening try as part of a frantic opening with the excellent Juan Martin Gonzalez driving over from short range.
The champions frequently shuttled the ball across the field and with some success, forcing Quins to scramble out wide.
When the home ruck defence had gone missing near the centre of the pitch, Saracens reacted in a flash with Andy Christie stampeding into space only for the supporting Ivan van Zyl to cut an awkward supporting line.
Quins were breached too easily again on the half-hour mark when a counter attack launched by Alex Goode was given legs by Itoje and a phase later Olly Hartley had barged over.
A line-out drive finished by Jamie George provided Saracens’ next try as the hosts continued to be overpowered up front and as they trudged off for half-time 19-3 behind, there was no obvious way back.
Their outlook continued to deteriorate as Christie added a maul try soon after the interval, registering the bonus point, but only once Itoje had staged a marauding run.
Smith was trying his best to inspire a revival, on one occasion using his footwork to weave into space, and it took a try-saving tackle from Alex Lewington to stop Quins from scoring.
Pressure was building on the Saracens line but they weathered the storm, advanced downfield and used a mixture of forward power and polished back play to cross through Tom Parton.
Lewington and Andre Esterhuizen exchanged tries and Saracens could have plundered one more late on but Tom Willis spilt the ball forward over the line following fine approach work by Gonzalez.

PEGylation, detection and chromatographic purification of site-specific PEGylated CD133-Biotin antibody in route to stem cell separation
- Additional Document Info
- View All
Recovery and purification of stem cells are determining steps in order to obtain the purity and viability required for transplantation. In this context, immunochemical techniques have been widely preferred due to their high selectivity. CD133, a glycoprotein expressed by stem cells, is a well-used marker for isolation of neural stem cells. Transplantation of neural stem cells into patients can promote neural growth and improve neuronal functions. In this study, a new method for site-specific PEGylation of CD133-Biotin antibody is performed through streptavidin-biotin conjugation. Purification was carried out by ion-exchange chromatography. The characterization of the single PEGylated CD133-Biotin antibody was confirmed using electrophoresis with silver staining and I 2-BaCl 2 for PEG detection. Moreover, online PEG quantification directly after the chromatographic step was conducted (in each fraction) to detect exact elution times of PEG. In conclusion, the novel CD133-Biotin antibody PEGylation strategy conducted in this study could be used as a process step in route to neural stem cell recovery and purification via the modification of existing techniques such as aqueous two phase systems, PEGylated affinity columns or fluidized chromatography. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

1. Check the spigot end of the pipe by making sure that it is correctly chamfered to 15deg to the pipe axis and that the depth of entry point is marked.
2. Check that the rubber seal and the socket housing are free from dirt or mud deposits.
3. Clean the spigot end of the pipe, checking to see that the surface is smooth and free from indentations or other damage which may result in problems after installation and remove any burrs.
4. Lubricate the seal and apply gel lubricant evenly around the depth of entry spigot end to approximately half the distance between the pipe end and the mark. The use of dishwashing liquid or grease is not recommended.
5. Position the spigot end of the pipe so that the leading edge rests against the rubber ring in the socket. Check the horizontal and vertical alignment of the pipe and socket.
6. Push the pipe into the socket and position it so that the depth of entry mark is just visible. This procedure should be done in one fluid movement. A twisting action will aid entry. The joint is now complete.
If undue force is necessary to make the joint, the spigot should be withdrawn from the socket and the seating position of the ring should be checked. It is advisable that the depths of entry marks are checked along the length of the pipeline during installation to ensure all are visible.

Abigail of Byrdhollow jewelry is this week's Moo Crew featured artist. I asked her to tell readers a little bit about herself. "I am blessed with an amazingly loving and supportive husband, as well as a 10 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. (and we just found out that we have one on the way!!!)" (Editorial note: CONGRATULATIONS!) "I live in South West Wisconsin. I am creative by nature and love to experiment with all types of outlets. My Etsy shop is currently dedicated to my Handmade Jewelry."
The name of her business has an interesting story: "My husband and I have known each other for 12 years now. When we first began dating those twelve years ago, he gave me the nickname of Bird. Why I'm not sure. He said my eyes remind him of a bird's. Living in a rural setting, It felt natural to refer to our home as "our little hollow in the woods". With my nickname of Bird, my husband having affinity for eagles and my daughters name meaning baby bird...you could say it was an organic name that really makes me think of my little hollow of birds!"
Byrdhollow is dedicated to Abigail's jewelry, but she never set out to sell jewelry. She had always created jewelry for herself, friends and family. "It was only about three years ago, that I decided to start selling my jewelry locally. I enjoy the art of jewelry making and love how it is a positive way to express your own personal style."
One of the first items she can remember creating was for a friend who was graduating from College. "I had spent a lot of time getting to know her, and wanted to give her something more special than a card with money in it. I came up with the design for her necklace almost immediately. I was so proud of it, mainly because it just "looked" like her. It fit her personality and I was proud that I was able to make something that she would wear and cherish. If only I had taken a picture before giving it to her..."
Abigail's favorite jewelry making materials are sterling silver, antiqued copper, turquoise and all gemstones. "I would like to think that it's the simple elegance I try to create in each peice that makes my jewelry stand out. I tend to create designs that I myself would enjoy wearing, or that I could picture on my family and friends." She makes each piece with extreme care and lots of love, and sometimes has a hard time letting go of the pieces she has made because each piece is an extension of herself.
When she isn't creating Jewelry, Abigail most enjoys spending time with her family. "They are the most important part of my life. We love heading out into the great outdoors, enjoying fishing, hiking, camping, biking and so much more. I have always loved photography and the beautiful memories created with each picture I take. My husband and I also love to cook together and are always creating in the kitchen! I also enjoy sewing, knitting and crocheting when I can find time for it!"
In the spare time she has left, Abigail and her husband write for three blogs; "Back Road Drifters", "The Catching Chronicles by Trout MaGee" and "Trout Magee's Photo Blog". Check them out for a more laid back loook on life! You'll find lots of picturesque landscape and some unique shots of Trout! Here are links to each of the blogs:
Abigail says the best part of being an artist is the artist's mentality. "I love the freedom that art gives you. I love how you can create something amazing out of virtually nothing. I love how art truly is in the eye of the beholder, and how art speaks differently to each and every one of us. Inspiration truly is everywhere, if you only take the time to look for it!!!" Wise words indeed!
Byrdhollow Jewelry is sold locally and on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Byrdhollowjewelry?ref=pr_shop_more . Abigail's husband is also on Etsy! Find his photography and hand tied fishing flies at http://www.etsy.com/shop/BasicStudios7?ref=ss_profile ...and watch for a future feature on this beautiful shop!
