All 45 goals and objectives set out in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan for the first half of 2022 have been achieved on schedule.
The Ministry of the Economy and Finance has sent a request to the European Commission regarding the payment of the second tranche of the NRP’s funds from the Total value of 24.1 billion eurosof which 11.5 billion in non-repayable subsidies and 12.6 billion in loans.
The actual amount paid is equal to 21 Billion Euros (divided between 10 billion in subsidies and 11 billion in loans), not by a part that the Commission retains on any repayment payment, equal to 13% of the pre-financing received in August 2021 by Italy. The disbursement of European Commission resources will take place in the coming months the result of the assessment procedure provided for by the regulations.
With the achievement of the goals of the first half of the year, some important elements of the transformation plan for Italy take shape..
Among the approved measures we find:
Public procurement – With the approval of the delegated law on public procurement, the reorganization of a sector representing almost 10% of national GDP is allowed. Among the main objectives associated with the reform, the reduction of the time of the procurement phase, as well as those of the digitization, qualification and reduction of the contracting stations (which to date are about 40 thousand)
EDUCATION AND UNIVERSITY – The career of teachers has been reformed with the definition of new recruitment and training systems for the classroom. In the research sector, the most important innovations are the awarding of projects concerning the five national research masters, the greater connection with the realities of the territory, the promotion of researcher mobility and the simplification of research funds. There are also funds (550 million) for start-ups in the digital and ecological supply chain.
Public administration reform – Public employment reform can benefit from a new push on competition, training and staff mobility, with the commitment to access the inPA portal for all selection procedures, in particular for central administrations, and the strengthening of Formez PA at the National School of Administration

This mod adds a set of Nordic weapons (dagger, short sword, battle scythe, claymore, war hammer, mace morning star, battle axe and voulge).
For this time it's much stronger than it was in Morrowind and it gives you some fire resistance.
Nordic weapon can be found in Rielle, elven ruins not far to the south-west of Cloud Ruller Temple.

Folate deficiency is uncommon in healthy adults. When you eat a balanced diet and have no health conditions impairing absorption of folate — also called folic acid — you don't need a supplement. But pregnant people, those planning a pregnancy and individuals with a gene mutation referred to as MTHFR do. Unneeded folate, especially high doses for long periods, can increase risk of some cancers and have other damaging effects. In the short term, you may experience uncomfortable but harmless side effects.
What Is Folate?
Video of the Day
Folate is one of a group of eight B vitamins, also including thiamin, riboflavin, biotin, pantothenic acid, niacin and vitamins B6 and B12. As a group, these vitamins play a role in metabolism and the formation of red blood cells. Individually, folate is involved in DNA and RNA synthesis and cell division. Folate also plays a role in lowering levels of an amino acid called homocysteine, high levels of which are associated with increased risk of heart disease, impaired cognitive function and depression.
Video of the Day
The B vitamins are water-soluble, so any excess that your body can't immediately use is carried out in urine. Because of this, many people think that taking high-dose supplements isn't harmful, and with some B vitamins — B12, for example — it's not. However folate is different.
Read more: Fruits and Vegetables Containing Folic Acid
High Folate Levels Symptoms
When used at the appropriate dose, folic acid is safe for most adults. But it can still cause side effects, including:
- Bad taste in your mouth
- Loss of appetite
- Sleep disturbance
These side effects may occur at any dose, but large doses could be more likely to cause or worsen side effects. People with allergies may have allergic reactions to folate, symptoms of which include:
- Skin rash
- Difficulty breathing
Taking a large amount of folate could potentially worsen the reaction and have more serious consequences.
High Blood Levels of Folate
While researchers are still investigating how too much folic acid can exacerbate existing conditions and promote disease, studies have uncovered several probable associations:
Exacerbates B12 deficiency: Folate deficiency and B12 deficiency both cause anemias, conditions in which the body is unable to make enough healthy red blood cells. Taking a folic acid supplement for folate deficiency can temporarily alleviate the symptoms of a B12 deficiency, allowing it to go untreated. Untreated B12 deficiency can cause severe neurological problems. According to a 2018 review in Blood Journal, this only happens in the presence of large amounts of excess folic acid.
Increases risk of cancer: Normal folate intake can be cancer-preventive. According to a 2007 review in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, higher folate intakes in the absence of precancerous lesions — such as colon polyps — can prevent tumor development and colon and pancreatic cancers. However, in the presence of lesions, folic acid supplements can increase the risk of these cancers.
Reduces immune response: A 2017 study in the Journal of Nutrition found that adults who took a 5 mg (5,000 mcg) folic acid supplement for 90 days had reductions in the number and cytotoxicity of natural killer cells. Natural killer cells are the body's defense mechanism, attaching to and killing cancerous and virus-containing cells.
Recommended Daily Intakes
Healthy adults need 400 mcg of folate per day, and pregnant people need 600 mcg per day. People who may become pregnant are often encouraged to take a folic acid supplement. However, there are plenty of rich food sources of the nutrient, and many foods are fortified with folic acid. In fact, there's concern that people who eat a balanced diet including fortified foods and who also take a multivitamin may regularly exceed the daily upper tolerable intake of 1,000 mcg set by the National Academy of Medicine.
MTFHR Gene Mutation
People with a genetic mutation of an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) have trouble converting folate from food and supplements to its active form, 5-MTHF. Decreased levels of 5-MTHF can raise homocysteine levels and increase the risk for neural tube defects in babies. These individuals may need to take a supplement containing the active form of folate. Consult your doctor before you decide to take a folic acid supplement.

Tech News Summary:
- Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is facing technical difficulties, leading to frustrated users unable to book tickets and access services.
- Users have reported issues with the website, e-ticketing system, and app, with complaints of payment deductions and inability to reserve tickets.
- While IRCTC works to resolve the problems, users are advised to use alternative platforms like Amazon and Makemytrip for ticket bookings and access to related services.
IRCTC Meltdown: Frustrated Users Struggle to Book Tickets, Demand Immediate Fix!
In a major blow to the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), its online ticket booking portal experienced a complete meltdown yesterday, leaving millions of frustrated users in the lurch. The technical glitch disrupted the normal functioning of the website, causing widespread inconvenience and a surge in public outrage.
The IRCTC website, the primary platform for booking train tickets in India, went down during peak hours, triggering chaos and frustration among users. This untimely breakdown occurred right before the festival season, when the demand for train tickets is at its highest. As a result, countless travelers found themselves unable to make reservations for their upcoming journeys.
Those who attempted to access the website were met with error messages, slow loading times, and frequent crashes. Many users complained about their transactions failing midway, leaving them uncertain about their ticket confirmations. The situation worsened as the helpline numbers provided by IRCTC were either inaccessible or remained busy due to the overwhelming number of calls from desperate customers.
Social media was flooded with angry messages from passengers expressing their disappointment with the malfunctioning website. Hashtags such as #IRCTCMeltdown and #FixIRCTC trended on various platforms, with users demanding an immediate resolution to the issue. Some even resorted to humorous memes and sarcastic remarks to vent their frustration.
The timing of this technical breakdown couldn’t have been worse. With the festive season approaching, people rely heavily on trains to travel to their hometowns or for vacation trips. The inability to secure tickets at a time when thousands are planning their journeys has sparked outrage and exacerbated the already strained relationship between IRCTC and its users.
In response to the uproar, IRCTC issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience caused and assuring users that their technical teams were working round the clock to resolve the issue. They cited an unprecedented surge in traffic as the cause behind the meltdown. However, users argue that this is not a new problem and that IRCTC should have been better prepared to handle the situation during peak season.
Passengers affected by this unfortunate incident have demanded quick action from IRCTC to not only fix the website but also prevent such incidents in the future. They expect improved infrastructure, enhanced server capabilities, and a user-friendly booking system that can handle the heavy traffic during crucial periods.
As the IRCTC struggles to regain its users’ trust, the authorities must prioritize the problem and work diligently to rectify the technical flaws in the system. The next few days will be crucial as IRCTC strives to restore normalcy and prove its commitment to providing a reliable online ticket booking service.
In the meantime, frustrated users are left anxiously waiting for the website to resume functioning as they desperately attempt to secure their much-anticipated train tickets. They hope that the IRCTC realizes the urgency of their demands and acts swiftly to restore their faith in the system.

China's Chang'e-4 Breaks New Record, Completes 500 Earth Days On Moon's Dark Side
China's Chang'e-4 lunar probe is on a record breaking streak of surviving the extremities of the far side of the moon.
With its first-ever soft landing on the Von Karman Crater on the far side of the moon on January 3, 2019, the Chang’e-4 lunar probe has now survived for 500 Earth days and is still working.
The probe, consisting of the lander and the rover, are meant to survey the terrain and landforms of the yet unexplored territory, along with other mission targets. Its rover ‘Yutu-2’ has provided insights for the geological structure of the far side of the moon up to 40 meters under the surface.
Chang'e-4 completed its 500 Earth days on the moon periodically switching to a dormant mode during the lunar nights.
In case you didn't know, 14 days on Earth make up one lunar night and a lunar day is of the same length. It slept during the nights due to the lack of solar power. Its lander and rover woke up from their last sleep on May 17 and May 16 respectively.
Chang'e-4’s rover Yutu-2 has covered 447.68 meters on the moon’s surface to date and is 292 meters away from its lander. Through its infrared imaging spectrometer, scientists in China were able to find a rich deposit of olivine on the moon’s mantle, believed to be the most abundant constituent of the Earth’s upper mantle.
Through this probe, the Chang’e-4 will be able to find answers to the mystery related to the moon. Studying its geological evolution is one definitive way of doing so.
While CNSA, and a handful of other space agencies have their rovers on the moon, US space agency NASA is planning to restore its human explorations to the moon. NASA’s upcoming space mission Artemis plans to build a human base on the moon. NASA also released the Artemis Accords earlier this month to form an international pact defining the regulations on the moon.

Chinatown, one of cinema’s crown jewels, will make its way to release on Blu-ray on April 3rd. From Paramount Home Video, the classic Roman Polanski film starring Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, Burt Young and John Huston, Chinatown was nominated for eleven Oscars and named by the American Film Institute (AFI) as one of the top 25 American films ever made.
Chinatown will feature a new high definition transfer and is packaged with the original theatrical poster as well as a collectible booklet. The Blu-ray release includes over 2 1/2 hours of bonus material including feature-length commentary by the film’s screenwriter Robert Towne and filmmaker David Fincher (The Social Network, Se7en, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), a three-part documentary on the history and impact of the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the continuing efforts to cultivate water resources for the metropolis, prominent filmmakers expressing their appreciation of Chinatown, a look at the filming as well as the legacy of the film.
The CHINATOWN Blu-ray is presented in 1080p high definition with English 5.1 Dolby TrueHD, English Restored Mono Dolby TrueHD, French Mono Dolby Digital, Spanish Mono Dolby Digital and Portuguese Mono Dolby Digital, as well as English, English SDH, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles.
Special features are presented in high definition as indicated:
o Commentary with Robert Towne and David Fincher— Towne and Fincher offer unique insights into this classic film. No matter how many times you’ve watched Chinatown, this commentary will open your eyes to a whole new experience.
o Water and Power (HD)— In this three-part documentary, Robert Towne visits sites along the original Los Angeles Aqueduct for the first time. He is informed of the social and environmental impacts and given insight into the major issues around the creation and ongoing operation of the aqueduct.
o The Aqueduct (HD)— The City of Los Angeles completed the 233-mile gravity-fed aqueduct from the Owens Valley in 1913, under the leadership of a self-taught engineer named William Mulholland. L.A. Department of Water and Power representatives along with Catherine Mulholland, granddaughter of the engineer, discuss the development of the aqueduct and its contribution to the growth of the nation’s second-largest city.
o The Aftermath (HD)— For decades a large rural community was desiccated under the management of water rights by the City of Los Angeles over a vast area of the Owens Valley. Legal victories beginning in the 1970’s lead to successful reductions in environmental damages and the restoration of some natural habitats. Historians, local ranchers and activists discuss the up-to-date impacts of the aqueduct and struggle to maintain a stable environment and community.
o The River & Beyond (HD)— Prior to the building of the first aqueduct a century ago Los Angeles relied solely on its own local water supply: the Los Angeles River and its aquifer. Today the river as a water resource is largely forgotten. Currently there are plans to re-develop the river to reduce L.A.’s dependence on imported water, reducing the environmental impact on distant communities, while creating parks and open spaces for the city.
o Chinatown: An Appreciation— Chinatown has been hailed as a perfect film.
Robert Towne’s cynical labyrinth of secrets and sin, Roman Polanski at the top of his form, Jack Nicholson in all his glory, Faye Dunaway at her sexiest and most mysterious, John Huston as one of the creepiest and most unrepentant villains of all time, the great cinematography, the wonderful score, the bandage on the nose…
In this featurette, prominent filmmakers express their personal admiration for the film:
o Steven Soderbergh – Director – Traffic
o James Newton Howard – Composer – The Dark Knight
o Kimberly Peirce – Writer/Director – Boys Don’t Cry
o Roger Deakins – Cinematographer – No Country For Old Men
o Chinatown: The Beginning and the End
Chinatown: The Legacy

Synopsis: Ice cream warms the heart, no matter what the weather.
That's the Dobson family motto. Whenever things get tough, they break out the special heart-shaped bowls and make sundaes. The road has been especially rocky lately for Tess and her deaf little brother, Jordan. Their plucky Texan mother talks big, but her get-rich-quick business schemes have only landed them in serious financial hot water.
Ma's newest idea is drastic. She abruptly moves the family to snowy Schenectady, New York, where she will use the last of their savings to open her dream business: an ice cream shop. (Too bad the only place she could find an apartment is in a senior citizens' complex.) Tess wants to be excited about this plan, but life in Schenectady is full of new worries. Who will buy ice cream in their shop's run-down neighborhood? What will happen when their money runs out? Worst of all is Ma herself-she's famous for her boundless energy and grandiose ideas, but only Tess and Jordan know about the dark days when she crashes and can't get out of bed. And Tess can't seem to find the right words to talk to Ma about it.
This moving story of family, community, and ice cream proves that with a little help from the people around us, life really can be sweet-and a little nutty-just like Rocky Road.

AN INSPECTOR CALLS
Christine Kavanagh currently playing ‘Mrs Birling’ in the UK Tour of Stephen Daldry’s production of JB Priestley’s AN INSPECTOR CALLS tells us a little about the production before it arrives at the Theatre Royal Brighton from Tuesday 25 – Saturday 29 February.
Could you tell us a little about who you play in An Inspector Calls, and how she fits into the plot?
I play Mrs Birling, the wealthy matriarch of the family, she is rather imperious and intransigent and controlling, a class snob, and fiercely protective of her favourite and youngest child, her son Eric. Like all the family members in the play, she is taught a harsh lesson in a dramatic and terrifying way. The Inspector seems innocuous but is in fact ruthless and in him, Mrs Birling meets her match.
You’ve been part of the show before, what made you want to return to the role?
Great parts for women of a certain age are hard to find and this is a terrific role, she has some wonderful scenes with the Inspector and courtesy of the creative team of Ian McNeill set and costume designer, Rick Fishers lighting and Stephen Daldry’s direction she has one of the best entrances in the theatre. Plus, her dress has to be seen to be believed.
Not forgetting the wonderful music by Stephen Warbecks music that provides, what feels like a film score beneath the action. The music is thrilling, moving and exciting.
Why do you think An Inspector Calls has stood the test of time, and is still such a loved story?
Great plays usually have a great message, and a timeless lesson for us all. The notion that ‘we are all responsible for each other” to quote the Inspector is particularly relevant today, given our political climate, and the ‘me too “movement, and the plight of the homeless and disaffected, all of these themes are addressed in this play.
Priestley believes that actions have consequences. You need to see the production to appreciate the craft of his storytelling, it’s a thriller, and a ‘who dunnit’ brilliantly told.
What is it about Stephen Daldry’s production that makes it so special?
Everything makes it special, Daldry broke the mold with this production.
No kid gloves or fusty drawing room drama rules apply here, the gloves are literally off in terms of the production, the performance style and the ingenious, breathtaking award winning set designed by Ian McNeil.
The show is popular with young people studying the play at school, what additional elements do you think seeing it told on stage can bring?
There is nothing better that seeing a play live they are meant to be performed and experienced not read. The clarity of the production helps students understand nuances of the plot and the characters. The production is fast paced and thrilling, so they are kept on the edge of their seats with new information and gear changes. The play is still relevant today and provides thought provoking discussion long after the curtain as fallen.
Have you ever been given a piece of advice or some words of wisdom that have stuck with you over the years?
Oscar Wilde once said “Be yourself, everyone else is taken” which is not bad advice especially for all the hooked on social media – comparisons are odious, there is only one you – so make the most of it. Loving kindness goes a long way in life and a sense of humour always helps.
An Inspector calls, starring Christine Kavanagh will play at the Theatre Royal Brighton 25th – 29th February.

Greentech innovator, Katrick Technologies is developing an innovative new wind mapping software through its consortium with Edinburgh Airport and Heriot-Watt University. The novel software will allow modelling of data for ground level winds, unlocking the possibility of capturing green energy from these untapped resources.
The software development is part of an ongoing wind mapping project with Edinburgh Airport. The project uses a number of sensors to collect data on wind speeds and frequencies at Edinburgh Airport. This data will inform a plan to capture this clean energy with a ground-breaking new Wind Panel designed by Katrick Technologies.
Katrick Technologies’ unique Wind Panel technology will capture wind energy at ground-level compared to traditional turbines. The Wind Panel presents the possibility of harnessing wind at a wide variety of locations, including at roadsides, in urban areas and for use for microgeneration at facilities such as airports. A partnership between Katrick Technologies and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) will now develop a prototype of the technology to present to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and investors.
Traditional wind turbines already have software available for data modelling, but a bespoke platform is needed to bring Katrick’s Wind Panels to market. As the panels are deployed closer to the ground and are less restricted, the methodology differs and requires a new programme for measuring wind energy.
The software will be used for new wind projects to initially quantify the resource in a location and can then produce estimates on expected annual energy production. Heriot-Watt’s role includes expertise in the formulation of the quantification protocol and validation of the software and energy production. This will enable Katrick Technologies to make an exact prediction of the available wind resource, along with the potential power generation and costs.
The software will be a first in the market, with no existing technology focusing on these types of winds. The goal is to create a platform that is as user-friendly as possible, only requiring a basic knowledge of wind resource analysis. The software will have a simple interface that even those with no experience of programming can use, allowing the operator to simply upload data and input simple commands to run analyses and produce resource reports.
The project is currently under development, using valid data collected from four weather stations at Edinburgh Airport as a case study. The industry standard duration for a wind analysis project is a minimum of 12 months and the current case study expected to finish in December 2023.
“This wind mapping software is a totally novel product with the potential to change the game in wind power,” said Vijay Madlani, founder and CEO of Katrick Technologies. “Not only will this allow our customers to get the most out of our Wind Panels by maximising the amount of kinetic energy that they can capture, but it will also open the door for further innovation on unexploited renewable resources”.

O’Brien, John. Look– Look Again!: Cartoons. Honesdale, Pa: Boyds Mills Press, 2012. Print.
This book of cartoons is a frolic through the unexpected, yet familiar. While the book is targeted to an audience of young people one better…Look –Look Again! The dairy farmer, chef, woodsmen, knight, doorman and clown suggest familiar images from the annals of children’s literature. And those vehicles provide a starting point for some twisted visual interpretations that may cause everything from subtle smirks to uproarious gut-busting belly laughs.
To be sure, the cartoons are exciting and provide a lot of room for thinking as readers, but the error is in the marketing- this book is not necessarily for eight-year-olds. Yes, older, more mature readers with print experience may have a grand escape, but most may be tempted to discard it. This is one of those books that need an introduction by a teacher, librarian, or a parent. As a matter of fact, they might enjoy it much more than any child.
Teachers, librarians and parents will want to challenge themselves and their students with Obrien’s zany tales. They should make it available and make it a part of conversation, offering explanation where necessary. Challenge yourself and others to read, think and view outside the box.

Skyler Chissell who has recorded a new single with the help of Snoop Dogg.
Rapper Snoop Dogg has revealed his latest protege - a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Bournemouth.
The controversial hip-hop star was so impressed with youngster Skyler Chissell that he agreed to appear on her debut single 'Fire'.
Skyler, who only turned 16 in September, penned the feisty song - which she says is about hanging out with friends - earlier this year.
A music producer then played the song to Snoop, 44, who loved it so much he added his own rap and agreed to star in the video.

US judge tells Marvell to pay Carnegie Mellon Uni $1.5bn in patent fallout
Chipmaker to cough for 'wilful infringement' of uni's IP
Chipmaker Marvell Technology has been hit with an extra $370m in damages for "wilfully infringing" on two hard disk drive patents owned by Carnegie Mellon University.
Marvell's already billion-dollar damages bill has now gone up to a whopping $1.54bn, after US District Judge Nora Barry Fischer said that the university had shown enough evidence to prove that Marvell copied its tech on purpose.
The amount is almost a third more than the $1.17bn awarded by a jury at the end of 2012 - based on a royalty rate of 50c a chip - with $79.6m to be tacked on for infringements that the jury couldn't consider because they didn't have recent financial information at the time and the rest on enhanced damages.
In certain cases, judges can go as far as tripling damages, but Judge Fischer said that to raise the award to $3.75bn would have "severely prejudiced" Marvell and might even have put it out of business.
However, the judge ruled that Marvell knew about the patents for at least seven years before Carnegie sued in early 2009, forcing the chipmaker to pay for its wilful infringement.
"The Court holds that the credible evidence presented at trial sufficiently establishes that Marvell deliberately copied CMU’s patents and such finding favours awarding enhanced damages to CMU," she said.
"The Court, however, does not believe that Marvell is sufficiently capitalised to withstand a penalty of treble or even double damages.
"This award is sufficient to penalise Marvell for its egregious behaviour and to deter future infringement activities," she added.
Marvell has previously said that it believes it has "strong grounds" for an appeal, so it's likely to push ahead with appealing this decision along with everything else. The firm maintains that the 50c per chip royalty rate used wasn't right and believes damages should have been limited to Marvell chips in the US.
"Under the correct claim construction, the asserted CMU patent claims are invalid and not infringed; and even if infringement were found, any damages should have been commensurate with the nominal license fees that CMU previously obtained from others," the firm has said. ®

Why See Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg - Pygmalion?
A much anticipated return
The esteemed Eifman Ballet of Pygmalion returns in 2019 with their newest premiere for North American audiences, Artistic Director Boris Eifman's own, comedic interpretation of the classical Greek myth of an artist who falls for his own creation.

Now Eifman re-visits the tale, adding his famed flair for theatricality, innovation and controversy for this upcoming ballet, with music from Johann Strauss.
The young Boris Eifman created his own ballet company in 1977, with the goal of solely performing his own work. It has become famous for its innovative and unabashedly radical approach to the art form, often drawing inspiration from classical literature and theatre - past ballets have included The Seagull, Twelfth Night and many more enchanting and moving works.

Cancer of the cervix is predominantly (90%) squamous cell cancer and can include adenocarcinomas. It is less common than it once was because of early detection by the Pap test, but it remains the third most common reproductive cancer in women. it occurs most commonly between the ages of 35 and 45 years but can occur in women as young as 18 years. Risk factors vary from multiple sex partners to smoking to chronic cervical infection (exposure to HP virus).
- Cervical cancer is most often asymptomatic. When discharge, irregular bleeding, or bleeding after sexual intercourse occurs, the disease may be advanced.
- Vaginal discharge gradually increases in amount, becomes watery, and finally is dark ans foul-smelling because of necrosis of the tumor mass.
- Bleeding occurs at irregular intervals between periods or after menopause, may be slight (enough to spot the undergarment), and is usually noted after mild trauma (intercourse, douching, or defecation). As disease continues, bleeding may persist and increase.
- Nerve involvement, producing excruciating pain the back and legs, occurs as cancer advances and tissues outside the cervix are invaded, including the fundus and lymph glands anterior to the sacrum.
- Extreme emaciation and anemia, often with fever due to secondary infection and abscesses in the ulcerating mass, and fistula formation may occur in the final stage.
ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS
- Pap smear and biopsy results show severe dysplasia, HGSIL, or carcinoma in situ.
- Abnormal Pap test may be followed by biopsy, dilation and curettage (D & C), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intravenous utrography (IVU), cystogram and barium radiopgraphs.
Disease may be staged based on the International Classification staging system or TNM classification to determine treatment as well as progress of the cancer.
- Conservative treatments include cryotherapy (freezing with nitrous oxide), laser therapy, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), or conization (removing a cone shaped portion of the cervix).
- Simle hysterectomy if invasion is less than 3 mm. Radical trachelectomy is an alternative to hysterectomy.
- For invasive cancer , radical hysterectomy, radiation (external-beam or brachetherapy), or chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, and paclitaxel [Taxol] or a combination of these approaches may be used.
- For recurrent cancer, pelvic exenteration is considered.

LANSING — The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on behalf of Chair Lavora Barnes.
“Michigan Republicans will try every trick in the book to confuse and intimidate voters. They want fewer people to vote because they just discovered what we have always known, when people vote, Democrats win. That is what this ballot proposal is all about, creating barriers to voting so fewer people have access to the polls. Michiganders have already spoken on this issue when more than 66% of voters passed proposal 3 in 2018. The GOP playbook of losing, lying, and attempting to cheat their way into office is getting old. It has been more than 300 days since the 2020 election, and while Democrats have gotten to work helping Michiganders, the GOP simply can’t accept defeat.”

Some leaders have shown their ability to adapt and change but most of them are still struggling to find solutions and even understanding key issues.
At first meetings, clients usually ask how much time does it take for a corporate culture to change. The most realistic answer is “maybe never”, because large number of companies get into this complex process unprepared. Except for readiness and preparedness of an organisation for changes, the answer also depends on what your existing culture is: dominant, participative, process or culture of task, reactive, explorative, creative and so on. If you are ready, let’s move immediately, first changes are visible relatively fast, depending on the application complexity and the size of the organisation, full integration of a new model is happening between first and third year.
Culture is relatively stable term and it’s not easy to change it. If a new model of desirable behaviour is to be introduced or in order to modify a current model, which is even a harder task, the proactive responsibility of an individual is the foundation, and the role of a manager at all levels is crucial.
Culture changes on a visible and an invisible level. Of course, the invisible level in which values, attitudes and beliefs reside, is harder to change as thoughts, behaviour and activity arise from them.
Changing organisational culture is only possible with planned and systematic changes in work with people and constant organisational learning.
Ivana is a patron of culture of task in which real people are at the right place, they are autonomous in carrying out the task, have the authority to make decision, take risk and, regardless of the size of an organisation, they actually foster the entrepreneurial culture.

Perhaps on this, the 238th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, Boston tourism officials should send us a note of thanks. (Or perhaps not, if they’re weary of contemporary misuses of history.) Philadelphia patriots organized first to rebuff Britain for imposing a tea tax, and it was mass (peaceful) protest here that proved the power of American unity.
In the 1750s, Americans began grumbling about taxation without colonial representation in Parliament. The tax on tea was particularly infuriating, so they boycotted English tea for several years, during which time merchants in several colonial cities resorted to smuggling tea from Holland. Philadelphia merchants were well-known as the most active smugglers of Dutch tea.
The boycott forced the East India Company to appeal for financial relief from the British government and the Tea Act was passed on May 10, 1773. This Act of Parliament allowed the East India Company to sell tea to the colonies directly and without “payment of any customs or duties whatsoever” in England, instead paying the much lower American duty. The resulting tax break allowed East India to sell tea for half the old price and cheaper than the price of tea in Great Britain, enabling the firm to undercut prices offered by colonial merchants and smugglers.
The Tea Act infuriated colonials precisely because it was a bare-knuckle attempt to divide Americans. The British would deploy cheap tea, said Benjamin Franklin, to “overcome all the patriotism of an American.” All this while refusing to repeal the tea tax of the Revenue Act of 1767.
Word was received in North America by September, 1773 that East India Company tea shipments were on their way. Philadelphians held a town meeting organized by Dr. Benjamin Rush, Colonel William Bradford, Thomas Mifflin, Dr. Thomas Cadwalader, and other local leaders and members of the Philadelphia Sons of Liberty on October 16 at the Statehouse (Independence Hall). They adopted eight resolutions, one of which stated: “That the duty imposed by Parliament upon tea landed in America is a tax on the Americans, or levying contributions on them without their consent.” A more important one read:
That the resolution lately entered into by the East India Company, to send out their tea to America subject to the payment of duties on its being landed here, is an open attempt to enforce the ministerial plan, and a violent attack upon the liberties of America.
Printed in the Pennsylvania Gazette, these declarations comprised the first public protest against the importation of taxed tea from England.
In Boston three weeks later, a town meeting at Faneuil Hall declared “That the sense of this town cannot be better expressed than in the words of certain judicious resolves, lately entered into by our worthy brethren, the citizens of Philadelphia.” Indeed, Bostonians adopted the same resolutions that Philadelphians had promulgated earlier. The Boston Tea Party followed just a few weeks later, on December 16, 1773.
On December 25, the British tea ship Polly sailed up the Delaware River and reached Chester, Pennsylvania. Commanded by one Captain Ayres, the ship carried 697 chests of tea consigned to the Philadelphia Quaker firm of James & Drinker. Several Philadelphia gentlemen proceeded to intercept the Polly and escorted Ayres to the city.
Two days later, there was a mass meeting of 8,000 Philadelphians–the largest crowd ever to gather in the American colonies–in the Statehouse garden to address the situation. A number of resolutions were adopted, the first one being “that the tea… shall not be landed.” It was further determined that the tea should be refused and that the vessel should make its way down the Delaware River and out of the Delaware Bay as soon as possible.
Captain Ayres was probably influenced by a broadside issued by the self-constituted “Committee for Tarring and Feathering” that plainly warned him of his fate should he attempt to unload his ship’s cargo. The handbill read, in part:
You are sent out on a diabolical Service; and if you are so foolish and obstinate as to complete your Voyage, by bringing your Ship to Anchor in this Port, you may run such a Gauntlet as will induce you, in your last Moments, most heartily to curse those who have made you the Dupe of their Avarice and Ambition.
What think you, Captain, of a Halter around your Neck—ten Gallons of liquid Tar decanted on your Pate—with the Feathers of a dozen wild Geese laid over that to enliven your Appearance?
Only think seriously of this—and fly to the Place from whence you came—fly without Hesitation—without the Formality of a Protest—and above all, Captain Ayres, let us advise you to fly without the wild Geese Feathers.
The flyer also warned river pilots that they would receive the same treatment if they tried to bring in the Polly. Consignees of the tea would also suffer dire consequences if they accepted shipment. Captain Ayres was ushered to the Arch Street Wharf and from there returned to his ship. He then refitted the Polly with food and water and sailed it back to Britain, still laden with its cargo of tea.
Perhaps due to the Quaker influence in Philadelphia, the “Philadelphia Tea Party” was relatively nonviolent and did not cause loss to any innocent merchants, since no tea was destroyed. In fact, local merchants may have even helped Captain Ayres with his expenses in returning to England.
Restrained as it was compared to Boston’s, the Philadelphia Tea Party was one of the incidents that led to the calling of the Continental Congress at Carpenters’ Hall in Philadelphia the following September. Furthermore, in 1809, Dr. Benjamin Rush wrote to John Adams:
I once heard you say [that] the active business of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia in the act of her citizens in sending back the tea ship, and that Massachusetts would have received her portion of the tea had not our example encouraged her to expect union and support in destroying it… The flame kindled on that day [October 16, 1773] soon extended to Boston and gradually spread throughout the whole continent. It was the first throe of that convulsion which delivered Great Britain of the United States.

Poudre River’s rising waters causes additional closures
May 27, 2014
Additional park trails and open lands spaces were closed Sunday as the Poudre River's rising waters presented hazardous conditions to the public, according to a city press release.
The National Weather Service issued a river flood warning Sunday morning for the Poudre River near Greeley. The warning is in effect until Wednesday morning.
Among the closures are:
»71st Avenue at the Cache la Poudre River. Detours are set up on 59th and 83rd avenues.
»The entire section from the Rover Run Dog Park Poudre River Trail Trailhead to the 59th Avenue PRT Trail Underpass.

In addition, the Poudre Ponds Recreational Fishery continues to be threatened and may also experience temporary closures, according to the release. The public must plan for the possible closure of the Poudre River Trail from the 35th Avenue crosswalk to the Rover Run Dog Park trailhead.
City officials urge residents to use caution while traveling along the Larson Ditch Trail Corridor and the Sheep Draw Trail Corridor, including the McCloskey Natural Area, Pumpkin Ridge Natural Area and Hunters Cove West Natural Area as some flash flooding has occurred as a result of the recent storms.

States could not get exemptions to Obama's prohibition against charging higher premiums for some people with pre-existing medical conditions, but the subsidies would be lower, making coverage less affordable, Pearson said.
Similar to the House bill , the Senate measure would repeal one of the biggest parts of the Affordable Care Act: the individual mandate and the employer mandate.

Collins said the Senate bill may be more generous than the House version, because the tax credits it will provide for the purchase of health insurance are expected to be adjusted for income, instead of just for age. John Thune, R-S.D., and Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, meets with reporters following a closed-door strategy session, at the Capitol in Washington , Tuesday, June 20, 2017.
Valerie Castile spoke about her son outside the courthouse following the verdict. He also faces two lesser counts of endangering Reynolds and her daughter for firing his gun into the vehicle near them. Kelly says Yanez thought Castile looked like "a possible match" for a suspect in a recent armed robbery. Castile's fatal shooting was among several cases around the USA past year where law enforcement officers were found to have killed blacks.
Members of the Portage County Amateur Radio Service will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise, June 24 and 25 at Freedom Township Park, located at S.R.

But the second part - "Obstruction doesn't work!" - is sound advice. The special election for the sixth district of Georgia sought replacement of Tom Price - Trump's current Secretary of Health - in the House of Representatives. Addressing jubilant supporters, Handel thanked key Republican figures including Trump. "If we do do that, I think we've got a really strong chance of taking back the House", Coons said .
With Ronaldo looking like an increasingly unlikely mover, apparently Manchester United will offer £60million for his team mate 24-year-old Morata , hoping to seal the deal before their pre-season training camp in Los Angeles. He is accused of evading tax to the value of 14.7m euros (£13m; $16m) between 2011 and 2014. Ronaldo has denied any wrongdoing, and Madrid issued a statement last week saying it believed the player was innocent.
Jurors weren't allowed to review this transcript during Yanez's trial, but it was referenced several times. Squad vehicle video from the July 2016 shooting shows Diamond Reynolds and her daughter in the cruiser, the Star Tribune reported Wednesday.

Auger mounts would be really easy to make. trencher mount not really needed IMO - just sit it on the trailer.

That became the phrase of the trip after I exclaimed it on the streets our first day there. We were all excited to visit Chinatown after our awesome experience last year in San Francisco:
We were instead greeted with wafts of indescribable stank and a few shoe-box size stores with cheap crap piled high in every nook and cranny available. In one store they even hung mobiles for sale from the ceiling in the middle of the aisle so you couldn't even walk by to the next section of the store. The dead ducks in the window were cobwebbed and crusty. The restaurants projected an eerie feeling that their food was not well cooked and possibly included "cat." We did not like it in this Chinatown. Not one bit. We beat feet out of there and vowed never to return, even to the outskirts, the rest of the vacation.
We spent a lot of time checking out Ted's 'ol stompin' grounds our first day there, which was probably the highlight of my trip. Ted's family lived in Philly for a summer while they searched for a house in the suburbs. He's talked about it quite a bit since I've known him and when I told him my conference was in Philly this year he was all about a trip down memory lane. Watching Ted reminisce and tell stories about getting baseball cards from a store with his brother or visiting "The Fruit Lady" down the street was neat. We found Front Street right away and then Ted got on the horn with his father to get the correct address. We happened to be only a block away and Ted says it looks just like he remembers it, minus the iron gate on the front stoop.
We spent quite a bit of time staring at the old townhouse and checking out the adorable neighborhood it is in.
Then we played some darts.
We also spent a lot of time during the trip learning about that crazy cat Ben Franklin and admiring the neat old buildings in the city, while also lamenting about how they are getting all run down and are in smelly neighborhoods.
We also spent a lot of time trying on hats and getting all "Colonial." Or something.
Despite the wretched Chinatown and the frequent funky smells, there were some pretty things in Philly:
And believe it or not, we actually got dolled up once or twice for dinner.
Overall, we had a riot and a half on our trip. It was nice to get away for a little adventure and vacation, but we were also glad to get back home to our little house and crazy cats.
Oh, and when we got home we found that the siding company had fixed the broken siding and our Frigidaire check had come in the mail! Yay! Happy days are here again!

Credit-market turmoil has driven the U.S. into a recession and may topple some of the nation’s biggest banks, said Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund.
“The worst is yet to come in the U.S.,” Mr. Rogoff, a Harvard University professor of economics, said in an interview here Tuesday. “The financial sector needs to shrink; I don’t think simply having a couple of medium-sized banks and a couple of small banks going under is going to do the job.”
The U.S. housing slump has triggered about $500 billion in credit-market losses for banks globally and led to the collapse and sale of Bear Stearns Cos., the fifth-largest U.S. securities firm. Bonds of regional banks such as National City Corp. and Keycorp are under pressure on expectations of more fallout. Mr. Rogoff said the government should nationalize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the nation’s biggest mortgage-finance firms.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae “should have been closed down 10 years ago,” he said. “They need to be nationalized, the equity holders should lose all their money. Probably we need to guarantee the bonds, simply because the U.S. has led everyone into believing they would guarantee the bonds.”
Last month, President Bush signed into law a housing bill that provides Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. the power to make equity purchases in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Mr. Paulson asked for the authority July 13 after the shares of the firms, which own or guarantee almost half of the $12 trillion of U.S. mortgages, slid to the lowest level in more than 17 years.
The mortgage lenders have been battered by record delinquencies and rising losses.
Banks repossessed almost three times as many U.S. homes in July as a year earlier and the number of properties at risk of foreclosure jumped 55 percent, according to RealtyTrac Inc., an Irvine, Calif., seller of foreclosure data.
“Like any shrinking industries, we are going to see the exit of some major players,” Mr. Rogoff said, declining to name the banks he expects to fail. “We’re really going to see a consolidation, even among the major investment banks.”
Mr. Rogoff was the IMF’s chief economist from August 2001 to September 2003.

Mention how you do pruning in gardens?
Pruning can be done in following places,
- Prune just above the buds ( 3mm-4mm above buds)
- Where plants have alternately positioned buds
- When the plant has pairs of buds opposite to each other
- Cut out any dead or old wood at the base of the plant
- Where stems are crossing each other or growing close to each other
- Leaving the clump of leaves at the base cutback flowered stems or herbaceous plants down to ground level

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that María R. Estorino is the Interim Vice Provost for University Libraries. She is the Vice Provost for University Libraries. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes for this error.
Davis Library opened on Feb. 7, 1984, a year shared with "Purple Rain" by Prince and the original “Ghostbusters” premiering in theaters.
On Wednesday, a 1980s-themed party was thrown to celebrate the library's 40th birthday. Students lined up in the first-floor atrium for free holographic stickers, Rameses stuffed animals and t-shirts printed on-site with neon pink lettering.
Vice Provost for University Libraries and University Librarian María R. Estorino said that Davis has changed since its opening.
“It was the kind of place where you would be asked to be quiet on every floor, not just on certain floors, and so although clearly people were pushing those boundaries, today, we don’t work in that way anymore,” she said.
She said that some notable changes include allowing food and drink inside and having flexible furniture that students can move, which meets students' different needs and moods.
Estorino said that the adaptable nature of libraries is in part one of the reasons they still exist after centuries and continue to be used in the modern world. The way information is given and received is constantly changing and libraries are frequently acclimating, she said.
She said in comparison to Wilson Library, which gets its appeal from its historic archives and traditional architecture, Davis is a place that is responsive to shifts in research and culture.
Isaiah Kirkpatrick, a junior majoring in medical anthropology, said that students are drawn to Davis because of the solidarity they find in stressful times, like finals week each semester.

KEEPING MAIN STREET LOCAL
We’re losing local businesses on Main Street. The city is doing a good job of eliminating empty storefronts. However, the proliferation of national brand franchise stores jeopardizes the unique character and independence of our Historic Park City shopping district. We have to realize that it isn’t just vague market forces driving this transition. Park City is spending tens of millions of dollars to improve Historic Main Street, adding granite sidewalks, nicely lit paver crosswalks and a new plaza next to the Wasatch brew pub. The more we do to enhance the Main Street experience, the more we can expect business rents to rise. The city is part of the problem and needs to be a bigger part of the solution. Keeping Main Street local will require city council to make a series of difficult and possibly controversial code changes. Failing to do so means we risk losing more independent retailers and watching Historic Old Town become overrun with mall stores.
SUPPORTING LOCAL SERVICES
As our population grows and land parcels become more scarce and costly, many local businesses are at risk of being forced out of the city to make way for new development. Grocery stores, gas stations, dry cleaners, auto repair and other key services are vital to our thriving local community, particularly those accessible by public transportation and trails. he recent proposal for the redevelopment of the corner of Bonanza Drive and Kearns Blvd eliminates one of Park City’s two gas stations, a coffee shop, an urgent care center, Anaya’s Market and several other businesses. When properties are developed without consideration of keeping local businesses in town, our growing population is forced out of the city to access these key services, exacerbating our traffic and congestion issues. The city must improve planning and zoning in our commercial districts to ensure that lodging and affordable housing developments include critical services and retail, as well.
REDUCING EVENT IMPACTS
Someone coined the term “event fatigue” and I think it’s a great expression. We love our local events! But as they grow in number and attendance, we are faced with substantially more traffic congestion, increased parking limitations and noise, and shrinking access for locals to recreation and events, all of which significantly impact our quality of life. SEAC, the Special Events Advisory Committee, is currently evaluating Park City’s carrying capacity to assess the city’s ability to adequately support its proliferating events. It is possible that we will eventually need to set limits on both the size and quantity of events in Park City. We also need to step up enforcement of our city’s noise and parking ordinances. Additional mitigation of event impacts to residents must be a top priority.
PROMOTING JUDICIOUS SPENDING
Our improved and expanding economy has been a boon to our community, but local businesses and residents are feeling significant impacts from Park City’s dramatically rising cost of living. Over the last few years, we’ve seen water prices skyrocket and they will increase by yet another 6% this year. The recently added stormwater fee will increase by another 50% over two years. We have increased sales tax by .5% for transit funding, making ours the second highest in Utah. A $25 million bond was passed for Bonanza Flat. The highly anticipated school bond is expected to exceed $100 million, with an additional tax hike proposed to support expanding school staffs. The county is discussing a property tax hike of up to 27%. While city and county efforts to increase affordable housing are commendable, the cost of living for ALL homeowners is escalating. Long-time residents are leaving Park City and moving to more affordable areas, like the Kamas and Heber Valleys. While some of these expenses are outside the city’s control, our first choice can’t always be to place the financial burden on locals. Financial responsibility requires prioritizing and making tough choices. If we allow Park City’s cost of living to grow unchecked, we risk losing our diversity as a community.

What do You Lack?
By Vishwanthar on Inspiration
June 19, 2013
You simply lack the motivation. When I say “you” I am referring to most of you who are demotivated, for I stumble upon many of them on a daily basis in the gym. Perhaps, you are a fat slob. Your mind shouts loud and says “You are an endomorph and you are destined to be fat.” Well, nothing can be further from the truth. Do you mean to say that none of the obese individuals have lost weight? Do you want an answer? Come to the gym and see with your own eyes.
You have to fight against the devil—your mind. Work against it. Believe me! It is a Herculean task. The mind always tells you to do the undesirable. For example, People with diabetes crave for sweets though it is not advised to consume them. Likewise, if you want to quit smoking cigarettes you may end up smoking more. Each minute your mind tells you to get lazy, but you have to fight it out and get moving.
How do you build motivation? One possible way is to mingle with highly motivated people. Perhaps, the person whom you meet is struggling in some other endeavor. You, however, have to apply the same motivational principles to your life. On the flipside, there is no place, whatsoever, for negativity. People with negative approach are a big no-no. As Joel Osteen says, “You cannot hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life.” Period.
Do you know how competitive exams students attempt to pass the exam? They unite with likeminded people. They stay in particular groups where each individual is pursuing his own dream/competitive exam. It doesn’t have to be the same exam but the drive they possess binds and motivates them all. You can apply the same principle in the gym. Find out guys who are struggling to lose weight but are motivated to take the next step; those who are striving to imbibe a healthy lifestyle change to bring the desired result. Or you can speak to guys who have already reached their destiny.
Know that these videos, however, are also trying to do the same. Perhaps, these videos may not help you in the long term. Zig Zaglar says, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” So use it or lose it.
The second video is also motivational. It is the self-confidence of these motivated men that deny the lions their kill. So you see that you can derive motivation from several sources. It is there for the taking. As the Holy Bible says, “And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
