We conducted an epidemiological study of Staphylococcus intermedius using arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR) and antibiograms. One hundred and twenty-five S. intermedius isolates were recovered from the oral cavity and/or cranial hair coat of healthy dogs enrolled in a pet therapy program. Commensal S. intermedius was cultured from 32% of the oral cavity cultures and 13% of the cranial hair coat cultures. We characterized the colonization of the dogs as transient, intermittent, or persistent. For dogs characterized as persistently colonized, 73% of the isolates came from the oral cavity. These isolates were also genotyped by AP-PCR. A single major AP-PCR type was observed in 91% of the dogs (n=22); minor variations were frequently observed in these major types. Antibiograms of these commensal isolates were compared to antibiograms from 97 historical clinical isolates (1988-1992) obtained from cases of canine pyoderma. Resistance was most often observed to penicillin (64% and 55%) and tetracycline (38% and 38%) among the commensal and clinical isolates, respectively. The commensal isolates were significantly less resistant to erythromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin, and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. Our data suggests that differences in both genotype and antimicrobial susceptibility phenotypes exist among S. intermedius strains isolated from different anatomic sites from the same dog and supports the opportunistic nature of S. intermedius in canine infections.
We treated five patients with persistent Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and endocarditis. Surgical intervention or a "second-line" antistaphylococcal agent was required for bacteriologic cure in each. Special bacteriologic evaluation failed to demonstrate methicillin resistance or antibiotic "tolerance" among the strains of Staphylococcus tested. Cephalosporin agents were noted to be more susceptible to inoculum effect than either methicillin or nafcillin. All patients survived; the explanation for their atypical course is obscure. We present an approach to patients with persistent Staph. aureus bacteremia and endocarditis.

Antibiotic impregnated polymethylmethacrylate beads were surgically implanted into the mandible of an adult Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus) suffering from chronic mandibular osteomyelitis that had proven refractory to systemic antibiotic treatment. Although a discrete inflammatory mass remained, clinical signs of inappetance and a discharging sinus were alleviated following implantation of the beads. This procedure resulted in a more satisfactory outcome than other methods of treatment used previously for this condition and avoided the problems associated with regular handling and prolonged medication.
Outbreaks of invasive infection caused by methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus occur in hospitals, long term care institutions, and in patients discharged from these settings. In contrast, epidemic S. aureus infection has not been reported in well persons in the community. Here, we describe a group of healthy young adults who resided in the same neighborhood and participated together in school sports, and who developed serious S. aureus infections within 3 weeks of each other, suggesting a true community outbreak. Timely use of molecular epidemiological tools, however, demonstrated that their illnesses were caused by unrelated bacterial strains.

An audit to ascertain the effectiveness of drainage combined with a three day standard dose antimicrobial regime for patients with acute dentoalveolar abscess and associated systemic symptoms.
The interesting in vitro antimicrobial activity and pharmacokinetics of the new quinolone trovafloxacin (CP-99,219) warranted further studies to determine its in vivo efficacy in models of infectious disease. The significance of the pharmacokinetic and in vitro antimicrobial profiles of trovafloxacin was shown through efficacy in a series of animal infection models by employing primarily oral therapy. Against acute infections, trovafloxacin was consistently more effective than temafloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ofloxacin against Streptococcus pneumoniae and other gram-positive pathogens while maintaining activity comparable to that of ciprofloxacin against gram-negative organisms. In a model of murine pneumonia, trovafloxacin was more efficacious than temafloxacin, while ciprofloxacin failed against S. pneumoniae (50% protective doses, 2.1, 29.5, and >100 mg/kg, respectively). In addition to its inherent in vitro potency advantage against S. pneumoniae, these data were supported by a pharmacokinetic study that showed levels of trovafloxacin in pulmonary tissue of S. pneumoniae-infected CF1 mice to be considerably greater than those of temafloxacin and ciprofloxacin (twice the maximum drug concentration in serum; two to three times the half-life, and three to six times the area under the concentration-time curve). Against localized mixed anaerobic infections, trovafloxacin was the only agent to effectively reduce the numbers of recoverable CFU of Bacteroides fragilis ( >1,000-fold), Staphylococcus aureus (1,000-fold), and Escherichia coli ( >100-fold) compared with ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, metronidazole, clindamycin, cefoxitin, and ceftriaxone. The in vitro and in vivo antimicrobial activities of trovafloxacin and its pharmacokinetics in laboratory animals provide support for the ongoing and planned human phase II and III clinical trials.

Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) has been reported from many parts of the world including Asian countries. Hence, main objective of study was to evaluate the possible occurrence of VRSA in hospitals of Lahore city and to ensure the effectiveness of various substitute therapeutic options. A total of 150 samples of pus/wounds were collected from three hospitals of the city and VRSA were isolated and confirmed through recommended method of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Out of 51 (49.04%) methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolates, 5 (9.8%) were found resistant to vancomycin. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Linezolid (LZD), Moxifloxacin (MFX) and Clindamycin (CD) were calculated against VRSA isolates by broth microdilution test. All 5 (100%) isolates were susceptible to Linezolid and Clindamycin, while 4 (80%) were susceptible to Moxifloxacin. Ethanolic extracts of Turmeric, Mint, Coriander, Garlic, Kalonji, Cinnamon and Cloves illustrate average MIC values of 140.8 μg/mL, 563.2 μg/mL, 486.4 μg/mL, 614.4 μg/mL, 409.6 μg/mL, 281.6 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL, respectively against 5 VRSA strains. Concentration dependent increase in growth inhibition zones of ethanolic plant extract was recorded by agar well diffusion test. This study was helpful to find out the effective antibiotic against VRSA. Plant extracts encompass anti-staphylococcal activity and this finding demands necessity of further exploration of potential found in these natural herb.
Collaborative studies documented the reproducibility of broth microdilution susceptibility tests of Streptococcus pneumoniae against nine antimicrobial agents and of disk diffusion tests with six of those drugs. Replicate tests of Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619 in five different laboratories led to the following provisional quality control limits: cefdinir--0.03 to 0.25 microgram/ml and 26 to 31 mm; cefetamet--0.5 to 2 micrograms/ml and 20 to 25 mm; ciprofloxacin--0.25 to 1 microgram/ml and 20 to 26 mm; clinafloxacin--0.03 to 0.125 microgram/ml and 28 to 34 mm; grepafloxacin--0.06 to 0.5 microgram/ml and 21 to 28 mm; PD131628--0.125 to 0.5 microgram/ml and 24 to 29 mm; clindamycin--0.03 to 0.12 microgram/ml; cefpodoxime--0.03 to 0.12 microgram/ml; and trospectomycin--1 to 4 microgram/ml (disk tests were not evaluate for the latter three drugs).

Two days ahead of the massive coronavirus inoculation drive, authorities have released a list of 81 sites that will be part of the immunisation exercise in the national capital, with a senior official saying Covishield will be administered at 75 centres, while Covaxin will be given at the remaining six facilities.
As many as 100 people will be vaccinated at each of these locations per day, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had announced on Thursday.
The locations, with nearly an even split of government and private hospitals, include six central government facilities — AIIMS, Safdarjung Hospital, RML Hospital, Kalawati Saran Children Hospital and two ESI hospitals.
The rest 75 sites — spanning all 11 districts of Delhi, include Delhi government-run facilities — such as LNJP Hospital, GTB Hospital, Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital, DDU Hospital, BSA Hospital, Delhi State Cancer Institute, ILBS Hospital, and private facilities include Max Hospital, Fortis Hospital, Apollo Hospital and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
A senior official in the Delhi Health Department, when asked, however, did not clarify which of these hospitals will be the six centres where the vaccine made by Bharat Biotech will be used.
“Delhi has now a total of 81 session sites, 75 for administering Covishield vaccine and six for Covaxin, on the vaccination rollout day,” a senior official told news agency PTI.
Addressing an online media briefing, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the city government has received in total 2.74 lakh doses of the vaccine so far from the Centre, which would be sufficient to cater to 1.2 lakh healthcare workers.
The first batch of Oxford Covishield vaccine containing 2.64 lakh doses had reached the Delhi’s central storage facility at Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital on Tuesday amid high security, officials earlier said.
Amid a three-layer security cover, 20,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin made by Bharat Biotech, had arrived at the RGSSH on Wednesday, officials said.
Kejriwal also said the Centre has given 10% extra in stock, in case of any mishappening, like damage to vials.
The Delhi government is all set for the first phase of the immunisation exercise with healthcare workers being put in the front line to get the dose.
India’s drugs regulator has approved Oxford Covid-19 vaccine Covishield, manufactured by the Serum Institute, and indigenously developed Covaxin of Bharat Biotech for restricted emergency use in the country.
Ahead of the media interaction, Kejriwal took a review meeting on the vaccination rollout plan of the Delhi government.
He said he has taken stock of the situation and all the teams are ready for the Covid-19 vaccination programme, and people of Delhi are also ready for this exercise.
Meanwhile, Delhi recorded 340 new Covid-19 cases and four deaths on Thursday, the daily fatality count dropping to a single digit after several months, even as the positivity rate slipped to 0.48%.
This is also the eleventh time the daily incidences count stood below the 500-mark in January.
The infection tally in the city stood at over 6.31 lakh and the death toll mounted to 10,722 with four new fatalities, they said.

Post-F1 Paths - The official
Hello there, you’ve tuned in to the final episode of Post-F1 Paths, a mini series of seven short shows from Sidepodcast that looks at career options for drivers hanging up their F1 helmets. We’ve covered plenty of on and off track options so far, but today we’re looking at the drivers who decide they want a little bit more responsibility over a race weekend.
Post-F1 Paths - The broadcaster
Hello and welcome to the latest mini series from Sidepodcast – Post-F1 Paths. Here we are assessing the options available to Formula One drivers when they are finally ready to hang up their helmets, or if they have been politely requested to do so by their teams. This is the penultimate show and today we are looking at a gig for a driver who wants to remain close to the sport on race weekends, but perhaps wants a more relaxing time of it.
Post-F1 Paths - The athlete
Hello one and all, welcome to Post-F1 Paths, a mini series brought to you by Sidepodcast. This is the fifth episode of seven short shows in which we are travelling through the opportunities available to drivers once they have decided to give up Formula One in favour of something else. We’ve covered a handful of sporting achievements that drivers can aim for after F1, but this time we’re talking about using their fitness for other athletic purposes.
Post-F1 Paths - The boss
Hello and welcome to episode four of Post-F1 Paths, the latest mini series from Sidepodcast that investigates what options are available to F1 drivers once they have decided to step out of the car. So far we’ve covered a few options for those wanting a clean break from F1 but now it’s time to go back to the paddock with a new challenge – being the boss.
Post-F1 Paths - The cross-discipline
Hello there, welcome to Post-F1 Paths from Sidepodcast, a mini series of seven short shows looking at what options are available to drivers who hang up their F1 helmets and look for a career outside of the paddock. This is the third episode and today we’re talking about drivers who still need that thrill of the race, and so look to other motorsport series’.
Post-F1 Paths - The entrepreneur
Hello friends and welcome to Post-F1 Paths, a mini series brought to you by Sidepodcast that tracks some of the options available to drivers once their career in Formula One is over – either by choice or not. Yesterday we talked about drivers who find it hard to cut ties with the sport, but today it’s a group that have turned their attentions to other endeavours – this is the entrepreneur.
I found the longer episodes, specifically those with guests brilliant to listen to and the regular quiz they run has a real personality to it (like old episodes of question of sport).
They also have great interviews with a F1 writer that really expose what is going on behind the scenes.
The only area to be improved is the robotic reading style used in the scripted short updates, the conversational aproach used in the longer podcasts is much better.
Fantastic F1 podcast!
I started messaging the guys from this podcast after they followed mine, F1 Everything, on SoundCloud. With life getting in the way, I have finally gotten round to listening to Sidepodcast and I have to say, it's excellent. Very informative and you can really tell the passion between the two hosts! Subscribed and looking forward to hearing more!
If you want an entertaining and informative podcast, don't download this as it is neither.
I would suggest you check out the excellent Midweek Motorsport from RadioLeMans (which is the best motorsport podcast out there) if you want information and F1Rejects if you want a laugh.

The ‘Low Countries’ (sometimes the ‘Lowlands’) is a term used by modern historians to refer to the large historical region on the North Sea coast around the estuaries of the rivers Scheldt, Meuse and Rhine, which more or less corresponds to the modern-day Benelux, but also includes parts of modern-day France and Germany. In the Middle Ages it was a border region with the frontier between the kingdom of France and the German Empire running through it, more or less following the course of the river Scheldt. In the late Middle Ages the Low Countries included five dioceses, Cambrai, Thérouanne, Tournai and Liège, in the south, and Utrecht, in the north. The bishops of Liège and Utrecht ruled over relatively important parts of their bishoprics also as secular rulers, while the other bishops were had much smaller secular territories attached to their see, mostly limited to the city (the bishops of Cambrai also ruled over the Cambrésis). The rest of the Low Countries was ruled over by territorial princes. The most important principalities were the county of Flanders (which belonged politically speaking largely to the kingdom of France, but its territory included also some imperial fiefs), the duchy of Brabant, the counties of Hainault, Holland and Zeeland (all in the Empire, the latter three ruled over jointly by the Avesnes dynasty since 1299, and from 1356 by their successors, the Bavarian Wittelsbachs). Other principalities included the small duchy of Limburg, and the counties of Namur, Looz (from 1366 directly ruled by its former feudal lord the bishop of Liège), Luxemburg (from 1354 a duchy), Gueldres (from 1339 a duchy), Juliers (from 1336 a margraviate, from 1356 a duchy), and Cleve. To the north-east were regions like Frisia, which did not have territorial rulers but over parts of which the counts of Holland and the bishops of Utrecht claimed overlordships. Following the accession of the Valois dukes of Burgundy in Flanders in 1384, the successive Burgundian dukes were able to extend their political influence over the bishoprics and add many of the territories to what is often called the ‘Burgundian State’, which also included many territories in and around Burgundy (the duchy of Burgundy, the Franche-Comté, Nevers, Mâcon and Auxerre). This gradual Burgundian unificiation continued earlier personal unions, such as those between Holland, Zeeland and Hainault (union between Holland-Zeeland and Hainault in 1299); between Flanders and Namur (from 1263); and between Brabant, Limburg and Luxemburg (Brabant and Limburg united from 1288/89, union with Luxemburg in 1355). The Low Countries were linguistically divided between Romance (French) and Germanic (Dutch) speaking areas, but the linguistic frontier did not follow the Franco-German border. Many of the principalities, and all four southern bishoprics, included both Dutch- and French-speaking areas.

The general requirements shall apply particularly to visible surfaces on the exterior. New work adjoining old must be carefully blended to minimize the separation, unless, in the opinion of qualified architectural experts, it is better to make the joining areas obvious and thereby emphasize the qualities of the original work.
7. Patching: When repairing or replacing masonry details, decorations or parapet walls, care should be taken to prevent an obvious and unsightly patch. Materials, joints, etc., should match the original as closely as possible in composition, color and texture. For additional information on repairing masonry walls, see the Preservation Brief No. 2, prepared by the Technical Preservation Services Division of the United States Department of the Interior.
8. Fake Details and Decorations: Fake “historic” details, decorations and other additions should be avoided.
9. Anchoring: Sagging details, decorations, cornices, string courses, lintels, arches, pilasters, and parapet walls should be firmly reanchored. The original height of the parapet wall should not be modified.
10. Repair or Replacement of Architectural Details: Deteriorated building details should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. Repair or replacement of missing architectural decorations and details should be based on accurate duplications, substantiated by historical, physical or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural design. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material should match the original material in composition, design, color and texture.
11. Painting: Heavy or numerous coats of paint, or paint in the wrong color, that obscures architectural decorations and details should be removed before repainting. Refer to Preservation Brief No. 10, Exterior Paint Problems on Historic Woodwork, by the Technical Preservation Services Division of the United States Department of the Interior.
12. Fixtures: Hardware and lighting fixtures, where practical, shall be selected with care to conform to authentic work of the period, and to match remaining originals where such exist.
13. Ornaments: If the original or significant detail no longer exists or is too deteriorated to save, it is recommended that a contemporary design be undertaken which is compatible with the rest of the building in scale, design, materials, color and texture. An alternative might be to undertake an accurate restoration based on historical research and physical evidence. Where an original or significant detail no longer exists and no evidence exists to document its early appearance, it is generally preferable to undertake a contemporary detail that retains the historic “flavor” of the building.
a. Original building wall material should not be covered with any form of inappropriate siding. Where this has already occurred, the inappropriate siding should be removed and the original wall material restored;
b. Masonry facings shall be cleaned and painted as necessary. Sandblasting is forbidden without prior approval of the historic preservation commission. All repointing, when necessary, shall be done according to the specifications set by Preservation Brief No. 2, Repointing Mortar Joints in Historic Brick Buildings, by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, United States Department of the Interior;
c. Recommended materials for rehabilitation of masonry buildings include traditional bond pattern, such as running bond or Flemish bond, not stack bond. Clay facing tile may be used if the face size of the tile is that of standard brick and if the bond pattern is typical of contributing buildings in the neighborhood;
d. The imitation of stone veneer or brick, using stucco, prefabricated plastic, plywood and/or fiber panels is not acceptable, unless documented through historic or pictorial evidence;
e. Asphalt or wood shingled awnings and diagonal sided panels are not acceptable;
f. Vinyl or aluminum panels imitating clapboard or wood siding are not acceptable;
g. Glazing shall be clear, nonreflective, and untinted. Double-glazed insulating glass or materials such as acrylic or high-impact polycarbonate panels are permissible;
h. Wall surfaces that have not been painted should remain unpainted.
a. Color for all rehabilitation work must blend with the existing exterior residential color palette. If any new brick is used for rehabilitation work, it must be similar in texture, effect and color to the original brick. Stucco color for exterior walls shall be similar in tone to the muted pastels typical of historic pioneer stucco buildings or shall blend with the natural tones of the surrounding geology reflected on the exterior of adjacent buildings;
b. White and off-white may be used on decorative elements such as lintels, sills and cornices. Bright colors are not appropriate for major architectural elements such as building walls. However, when used sparingly in fine lines, such as on the wood trim of a storefront, a brighter color than that of the building face will be allowed to enhance a particular color scheme;
c. Metallic finishes generally are not allowed, except when used in such treatments as painted-gold or bronze-toned lettering on storefront glass;
d. A simple color scheme of up to no more than three (3) exterior colors is required.
16. Mechanical Equipment:
a. Radio, television, telephone and/or other telecommunication equipment, such as antennas or satellite “dishes” and ancillary systems, cables, junction boxes and the like, shall be placed behind or within suitable visual barriers in such a way that it is not visible from the streets;
b. Heating and air conditioning equipment, including cooling units, blowers, exhaust fans, ducts and/or ancillary systems, support units, brackets, wiring, junction boxes and the like, shall be properly screened or installed behind or within suitable visual barriers.
17. New Construction: The guidelines in this section are to be used by those planning new construction. Their purpose is to reinforce and enhance the historic architectural character of the neighborhood by encouraging compatible new construction. The guidelines do this by describing and illustrating certain design concepts found in the historic architecture of the neighborhood; concepts which can be applied in the design of new structures.
18. Considerations: The historic preservation commission will consider design concepts other than those recommended in these guidelines when necessary to promote design concepts found in the historic architecture of the neighborhood. However, in order for a design to be considered for exceptional review, it must not include the use of elements that are designated as inappropriate in the guidelines.
a. Of the many criteria that must be considered when designing new buildings for the neighborhood, by far the most important is the scale of the new building and its relationship to the scale of the neighborhood;
b. Just as the relationship of a new structure to the buildings on its block is important, so is it important that the elements within its façade be appropriately scaled. The scale of these elements should recall those of neighboring structures.
21. Width of Building: Building widths have a major impact upon the perception of the scale of a building. The apparent widths of the front façades of new buildings should correspond to typical widths of the buildings on the same block. A long façade should be broken into separate elements to suggest façade widths or bays similar to those of neighboring buildings.
22. Windows: Original windows in the older buildings are predominantly wood double-hung type. A sash pattern of one over one (1/1), that is, one (1) undivided framed pane above a similar pane, is the most common type. In new construction, one over one (1/1) type is required, unless the majority of windows in adjacent structures facing the streetscape clearly indicates otherwise. The pattern of a one over one (1/1) window may be achieved by the use of fixed glass, with three (3) conditions:
a. The window frame replicates the proportions of a typical double-hung window sash;
b. No unpainted clear aluminum is used for the frame; and
c. The window frame is of similar cross-sectional size to that of double-hung windows typical of the neighborhood.
23. Ornament: The ornamental details shall be compatible and in scale with those used in the streetscape.
24. Color: Approved color schemes appropriate for the neighborhood are required.
a. Muted background colors are required for the majority of the building surfaces;
b. Up to two (2) complementary accent colors may be used in addition to the background color;
c. Finished Wood Surfaces: The rustic or bare wood look is not allowed;
d. The natural color of stone or brick may not be painted;
e. Roofs must be a neutral or muted brown or gray.


A few days ago German Chancellor Angela Merkel signaled that she may drop her opposition to a vote on marriage equality after she said at a debate that her party was discussing the issue at length. At this same debate Merkel argued that she favoured a conscience vote on the issue. Almost all the Chancellor’s political opponents support marriage equality and after her announcement sought to gain political capital from her decision. They pressured for a snap vote on the issue and, much to my surprise, she permitted one.
When Theresa May took over as Prime Minister she spent a great amount of time trying to convince people that the Conservatives were the party of working people. Naturally people like myself laughed in her face because all of her policies tell the complete opposite story, but for many the message was believable. However within a few days of the Queen’s Speech, this narrative has been undermined the Tories’ own actions. The Conservatives and the DUP voted in lockstep to maintain the public sector pay cap at a 1% annual rise which, in practice, is a pay cut.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is often lauded in the Western press as an example of a strong national leader that proudly stands up for socially liberal values. This was most notably demonstrated by the approach many organisations took to her decision to welcome hundreds of thousands of refugees into Germany, much to the opposition of other EU states. However for advocates of LGBT equality there has always been a black rain cloud above Mrs Merkel when she is described in such glowingly positive terms as she and her party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) have always opposed the legalisation of same-sex marriage. The news yesterday was that the CDU may change this position.
One of the main issues that the Republicans campaigned on in the 2016 election, both at the national and the state level, was the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Speaker Ryan recently announced what the Republicans in the House will seek to replace Obamacare with and it was Draconian to say the least. Many expected that Republicans in the Senate who had taken more moderate positions on healthcare reform like Susan Collins (R-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) would mean that the Senate bill would be less extreme. In a remarkable turn of events the Senate bill is even more harsh on the poor and provides a massive handout to the wealthiest individuals in America. But thankfully the Senate bill has hit a snag.
Coal India is the largest coal mining company in the world and produces 82% of India’s coal every single year. However due to the declining cost of solar power in India the company has announced that 37 mines are going to close on the grounds that they are “financially unviable”. This round of closures amounts to Coal India closing around 9% of the total number of mines that the company operates, and as a result will significantly reduce the amount of coal being extracted per annum. The important aspect of this development, and the growing commercial trend, is that companies are beginning to notice that fossil fuel extraction is, in many cases, more costly than investing in green technology. This needs to be promoted and celebrated as much as possible.
The general election result caught many by surprise but when it became clear that the Tories would fall short of a majority all media attention turned to the prospect of the Tory-DUP agreement to keep the government going. This went into overdrive when Lib Dem leader Tim Farron ruled out any coalition or agreement with the Conservatives. With all other MPs in parties openly hostile to the Tories, with the exception of the DUP, the Conservatives found themselves backed into a corner but there remain problems with what they wish to achieve.
Theresa May is, to quote George Osborne, “a dead woman walking” and today’s Queen’s Speech perfectly exemplified this fact. May had initially intended that the announcement of a date for the speech would be a way of gaining leverage on the DUP but this did not happen and as a result there is not yet a formal arrangement in place to prop up a Tory minority government. Because of this political uncertainty the speech was devoid of serious proposals other than vague statements about Brexit that could be interpreted in different ways depending on one’s views of the EU, and a notable absence of proposals that were in the Conservative manifesto.

Stockton Police arrested Jeremy Meeks, along with three other alleged criminals this week, on felony weapons charges. The Stockton Police department posted the mugshots to its Facebook page—and then the fun started.
Meeks’ photo has gotten… shall we call it, positive attention. The catcalling was best documented by Reddit with an image highlighting some of the most popular comments, such as: “Oh my god he can rob my house and ‘assault’ me anytime.”
The compliments continue to pile up (“He holds the key that can open my heart! Won’t someone give me the key to open his jail cell?”). Oh, Internet commenters: capable of reducing anyone regardless of background, race, gender, or criminal affiliation to eye candy!
Seriously those eyes though…
Sorry, I got lost in those baby blues for a minute.

Professional West Coast fishers have been dealt a blow after receiving new quotas from Primary Industries and Regions South Australia (PIRSA) set to be introduced next July.
The state government is introducing an individual transferable quota (ITQ) system as part of its $24.5 million Marine Scalefish Fishery (MSF) reform package, which is aimed at creating a sustainable and viable future for fishers across the state.
PIRSA recently met with West Coast fishers, who voiced concerns over the reform process and what it will mean for the future of the fishery.
The ITQ sees fishers licensed to catch King George whiting, southern garfish, snapper and southern calamari allowed a base quota distributed from 20 per cent of the zone's total allowable catch.
The other 80 per cent is based on catch history between 2010 and 2016.
Ceduna's Donna Isaacson, who owns a marine scale licence with her husband, Doug, received notice her annual West Coast whiting catch would be 86.8 kilograms, the lowest amount possible, as they acquired a licence in 2017 and have no catch history.
The number, she said, after receiving only "small quotas" for other species and spending about $400,000 on the licence, set-up and running costs, was not sustainable.
"An 86-kilogram catch is about three days of fishing, now we get that over the whole year," she said.
"We've been averaging roughly 1.9 tonnes over the last three years, but how it is set at the moment it won't be viable to remain in the industry.
"I don't want to leave the industry and will fight it as much as I can, but this won't even pay for fuel for a few weeks."
West Coast Professional Fishers Association president Jeff Schmucker said there had been differing reactions to the news, with those without catch history "dismayed" over the amount received.
While he acknowledged the concern, he said with the opportunity to trade quota amounts with fishers across the state, the number would not be so low.
"Those who have been given the lowest amount can initially trade, they can build up their West Coast unit, and if they want to further their interest in the fishery they will have to reinvest or lease units of ITQ West Coast whiting," he said.
"Every licence in the state will have the 20 per cent of the base amount of quota, so they can trade from other fishers who will also get West Coast whiting on their quota.
"The people who put the effort into the industry with King George whiting - as that's the only fish going ITQ on the West Coast - will be somewhat rewarded."
Mr Schmucker said there was a fear among fishers that corporations and investors in the industry would go to the quota-trading platform and offer money for quota, meaning "guys left in the industry could be leasing from corporates".
Mrs Isaacson feared the reform would have a devastating impact on the West Coast fishing industry, affecting not only the professional fishers, but factories, transport companies, hotels and clubs who purchased local produce, and the communities itself.
She said now was the time to consider the state government's $140,000 licence buyback.
"It won't be sustainable to be a fisher going forward," she said.
"We can't believe what has been offered and it's a slap in the face for fishers. There is despair in the industry."
Ceduna mayor Perry Will, in a letter sent to Premier Steven Marshall, wrote there was concern within the Ceduna District Council and the community that the reform, especially ITQ, would "inadvertently destroy the younger generation of commercial fishers".
Mr Will wrote the Premier had been misinformed if he was told that fishers wanted ITQ introduced, and listed multiple professional fishers who were either offered the lowest quota possible, or a total much lower than their current catch.
"Fishers in the MSF catch their fish by hand and work their areas according to weather, season and cycles, this produces premium product that is sought after by locals, distributors, restaurants and tourists," he wrote.
"The state government have recently promoted the need for regional job creation but the current ITQ's are making it impossible for the individuals in the fishing industry to continue and build their businesses. Regional businesses, employment and lifestyle that have been established for generations will be destroyed.
"PIRSA and SARDI (South Australian Research and Development Institute) are not being held accountable for their mismanagement of the fisheries they control, no one is listening to the fishers, the people that will be impacted the most by the reform, and the ITQ's will cripple the small family-based fishers."
Primary Industries Minister David Basham said the information received by fishers would help them decide if they wanted to stay in the fishery and invest into the future, or exit the industry.
"An independent report by BDO EconSearch in 2019 highlighted that there are simply too many fishers and not enough fish and something needs to change to make the fishery sustainable for future generations," he said.
"In the short term there will be adjustment for local fishers but in the long term our reform is expected to add $277 million to South Australia's economy and create a further 107 jobs.
"I understand this might be a difficult time for some in the industry and we will continue to consult to achieve the best outcome for both the fishery and fishers."
Mr Basham said 57 fishers had decided to leave the industry, leaving less than 100 voluntary licence surrenders remaining before applications close on November 13.
Mr Schmucker said he believed the state government would reach its target of having 150 licences left across the state.
He said this would help those who remained, because "as the number comes down, the base amount of quota will grow".
He also noted PIRSA had not yet finalised the quota system and a disclaimer in the letter sent to fishers noted the amount could change before July.
Mr Will urged the Premier to reconsider the implementation of the quota.

Two Table Rock Dam Gates Remain Open on Wednesday
Two spillway gates remain open two feet each releasing about 3,900 cubic feet per second, which is equivalent to about one hydropower running full power. Beginning Tuesday, all four hydropower units were taken offline while maintenance is performed on the unit’s head gates. Spillway releases will continue, as needed, until the hydropower units are able to be brought back online.
Flooding downstream isn't a problem, since approximately the same about of water is being released as when the generation units are online.

Yes, “package as a domain” required some other external code to build a system in pre-component BridgePoint, and requires the use of “package references” in components in current BridgePoint.
One thing online self training misses is the ability to easily identify the gaps in the training. Classroom style training is still preferred. Having an online forum helps, but you also need the more structured walk through.
You also need a consistent approach, which is what I’m trying to nail down. I prefer domain modeling with packages, but that creates more work when integrating the domain into a system. Domain modeling with components requires more work on the domain modeling side, but everything is in place for system integration. Ideally, creating a component and interface structure from a package domain model could be automated, but is it worth the cost of the changes on the tool side?
Maybe a HOWTO of both approaches should be written. The documentation in the BridgePoint help needs updated anyway.


Moderna COVID Vaccine Is Causing Skin Rashes In Few Cases, But Don't Worry
The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Moderna is helping several around the world stay protected against the novel coronavirus. However, for some, it is causing patches of inflamed skin and rashes around the injection site, which has stayed there for up to 11 days even after vaccination.
This was highlighted by a group of 11 doctors who have written to the prestigious New England Journal Of Medicine, detailed observations on 12 patients who experienced the aforementioned rash.
The letter highlighted that all the 12 cases have been treated and resolved which took an average of six days to be completely fine. Moreover, 12 of the patients who suffered the rash were also encouraged to take the next dose of the vaccine, which they did.
Three patients from the 12 experienced similar rashes after the second dose of the Moderna vaccine whereas three experienced a less-severe reaction. The remaining half didn’t report any reaction whatsoever.
Experts are of the opinion that the skin rashes are actually a delayed allergic immune response that is seen rather commonly in drug reactions. Dr Esther Freeman, director of Global Health Dermatology at MGH and co-author of the NEJM letter, explained, “For most people who are experiencing this, we believe it's tied to the body's immune system going to work. Overall, this data is reassuring and should not discourage people from getting the vaccine.”
The experts also highlight that it shouldn't be confused with any kind of skin infection and since they’re not infectious, they shouldn't be treated with antibiotics.
Dr Kimberly Blumenthal, the lead author of the letter from Massachusetts General Hospital, explains, 'Whether you've experienced a rash at the injection site right away or this delayed skin reaction, neither condition should prevent you from getting the second dose of the vaccine.
She added, “Our immediate goal is to make physicians and other care providers aware of this possible delayed reaction, so they are not alarmed, but instead well-informed and equipped to advise their patients accordingly.”

Here is one tidbit of several:
PET PORTE On those TV programs showing funny home videos, there’s
always a family finding a dog or raccoon stuck in their cat door. The
Pet Porte, $156 (PetPorte.com) uses the radio frequency from the
microchip already embedded in your cat (or small dog) to ensure that
furry crashers stay out. The clear, plastic door remains locked until a
sensor reads your pet’s microchip.
Pet Porte works only with European microchips; this autumn, the company will release a door that can read U.S. chips. Light sensors allow you to program the door to lock after certain hours so your kitty doesn’t go out for a nightcap.
And if you like to process information about canines, here is a new source of input:
Ever wonder if your dog walker is really giving your pup a workout? The
Snif Tag, $299 (SnifTag.com), is the equivalent of the baby cam for
neurotic dog owners. A small tag attached to the collar uses a
three-axis accelerometer and motion sensor software to determine what
your dog is doing – walking, running, sleeping–and records the
information within the tag’s flash drive. Back at your pad, where Snif
Tag’s base station connects by Ethernet cable to your home network, all
the information is uploaded to a Web site. The site breaks down your
pooch’s activity by minute, hour, day, week, and month, and lets you
determine, by breed and age, whether or not your dog is getting enough
exercise. The tag also features a social component: When your canine
companion has interacted with another Snif Tag wearer, you can contact
the owner of your pup’s new B.F.F. to set another play date. One
problem: Finding enough owners who are willing to buy the device.
There is also:
JOG-A-DOG The easiest way to deal with destructive behavior is with
exercise, but occasionally it’s not realistic to toss the ball with
your pup (long work hours, snowstorms, laziness). Doesn’t mean you
can’t wear your dog out. Joga- Dog, $1,195 and up (JogADog.com) is a
treadmill designed with canines in mind. Side guardrails ensure your
dog doesn’t escape his workout, and an 11- degree incline is said to
provide the resistance needed to build strength and muscle. But like
with human treadmills, the Jog-a-Dog is no substitute for the stimuli
of the great outdoors.

On 21st of June 2016, Pastor Daniel Hendrata, Pastor Debby Catharina, and their two children began their US Road Show trip, flying with Cathay Pacific. They flew for almost five hours to Hong Kong, transiting for a few hours before resuming their 15-hour flight to New York City. The main purpose of the visit this time was to establish Anugrah Ministries in the US, and to promote I am Number Two book and Your Faithfulness CD.
They stayed in New York for a week, hosted by Bethel International Church (under the leadership of Pastor Nehemiah and Juliana Lolowang). They ministered tothe congregationthree times on Sunday, 26th of June 2016, both tothe Indonesian services, and the International.On Monday, 27th of June 2016, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Debbyalso gave Guard Your Family teaching to them. It was such a pleasure to be connected with Bethel International Church, especially because Pastor Daniel got to reconnect with two of his High School friends who happen to be the elders of the church.

During their stay in New York City, Pastor Daniel and his family went to visit the famous American Museum of Natural History, as featured by the movie, Night at the Museum. In their free time, they went on some University Tours: New York University, and King’s College.Also, Pastor Debby got to make a video clip for her album with the setting of New York Subway, and Grand Central Station.
On 28th of June 2016, they left New York and drove for four hours to Stratford, Connecticut. They stayed in Stratford for a few days rest, spent time with old friends, and also stayed in their house. From Stratford, they drovefor a further three hours to Boston, Massachusetts,to meet with the lawyer who helped register Anugrah Ministries to be an official 501C3 organization in the United States. When everything was clear, they also went to visit Harvard University in their leisure time.
From Boston, they flew for San Francisco on 2nd of July 2016. They stayed in their friend’s house. Upon arrival, they heard news that whales were spotted at the Pacifica Beach, so they got a chance to do whale watching. On Sunday, 3rd of July 2016, they ministered atIFGF SF (under the leadership of Pastor FendyHutomo), both at House of Victory and House of Grace. In the afternoon, they drove to San Jose, to minister to the congregation of IFGF San Jose. After the three services, they went to have reunion dinner. It turned out that Pastor Daniel and Pastor Debby has three High School friends who reside in that area.

During their stay in San Francisco, they got to celebrate the Fourth of July, American’s Independence Day. They also made some more video clips for PastorDebby’s album, with the setting of Golden Gate Bridge and the beauty of the city of San Francisco. Not to forget the tour to the Academy of Arts University.
On the 9th of July 2016, they flew from San Francisco totheir final destination, Los Angeles. They stayed ina house, provided by IBCCOG church (under the leadership of Pastor BudhiJuwono). In Los Angeles, they ministered to many churches and fellowship, namely Indonesian Christian Church (under the leadership of Pastor Harry Widjaja), GBI House of Faith(under the leadership of Pastor Esrom and MethaLempao), GBI Mawar Sharon in Alhambra (under the leadership of Pastor James Mcgraw), Rise and Shine Fellowship(under the leadership of Mrs. Mira Yang), GIA El Shaddai (under the leadership of Pastor AgusdodyWidyatmaja), International Worship Church (under the leadership of Pastor Buddy Hannanto), and Family HarvestChurch (under the leadership of Pastor RobbyantoNotomihardjo). It is really heart warming to be able to make new connections, and to be a blessing to the Body of Christ in that part of the world.

They stayed in Los Angeles for ten days and on 19th of July 2016, they began their journey back to Indonesia. Theytransited for a few hours in Hong Kong and had lunch meeting with friends, from ICA Hong Kong, who requested the possibility of Pastor Daniel and Pastor Debby to minister in Hong Kong in the year of 2017. Praise the Lord!

I met Richard Butler in the Café Maya in Cold Spring, New York with some mutual friends. This was a restaurant that I loved not because I particularly liked the food, but for the two reasons I always love or dislike a restaurant: because of the other people who go there and the welcome and service you receive from the owner and staff. Here we thought the world of both our fellow diners and the staff.
Richard told me he was a musician, and judging how he looked, I thought he was probably a violinist with the New York Philharmonic. In my ignorance of rock music I had never heard of The Psychedelic Furs.

INDIANAPOLIS - Mourners gathered for the funeral of an Indianapolis police officer who authorities say was slain by her ex-husband and fellow officer who then killed himself.
A row of officers in dress uniforms saluted as Officer Kimberlee Carmack's flag-draped casket was carried Wednesday morning into Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral. Her funeral was followed by a police procession and burial at Crown Hill Cemetery.
Investigators say Sgt. Ryan Anders shot the 45-year-old officer on Thursday after breaking into her home. The couple divorced in October after a six-year relationship.
Carmack was a 20-year veteran of the police force and her son is a current officer. Carmack was remembered as a person who cared deeply for the community and always went above and beyond.
Her loss has been especially difficult for the entire Metro police force.
"It shows we're human we come from the same society we have the same challenges and we must recognize that our police officers do an outstanding job, but we're human," IMPD Chief Rick Hite said.
After the formal ceremony, Hite presented Carmack's son with the flag that draped his mother's casket.
"We like to think that in this case it's a little different that the legacy lives on through her son and she'll continue on through him and whenever we speak her name, it'll be in fondness and understanding that he in fact is a part of her traditional legacy, and we honor that and make sure he understands that," Hite said.
Officials say Anders' funeral set for Thursday isn't considered an official police service.

Today’s guest post is from Johnny Cisneros, of our Design & Editorial department.
When I was in graduate school, I had the privilege of taking systematic theology of J.I. Packer. He started every class lecture by saying, “Arise, friends, let us sing the Doxology!” After singing and a word of prayer, he would remind us, “The goal of theology, friends, is doxology.” That is, our view of God should inspire us to worship God.
Dr. Packer’s devotional approach to theology was evident even in his choice of textbook for the course – Millard J. Erickson’s Christian Theology. Here’s just an excerpt:
“Because God is a person (indeed, he is pictured as our Father), our relationship with him has a dimension of warmth and understanding. God is not a bureau or a department, a machine or a computer that automatically supplies the needs of people. He is a knowing, loving, good Father. He can be approached. He can be spoken to, and he in turn speaks” (Christian Theology, pg. 296).
Now that’s the kind of doctrine that moves us from, “You’re right, God” to “You’re good, Father.”
Are you interested in moving from theology to doxology?
Then check out The Moody Theological Studies Collection (10 Vols.) on Pre-Pub.
Other great titles by J.I. Packer:
- Growing in Christ and Concise Theology are both included in base package collections – from Bible Study Library up through Portfolio.
- A Passion for Faithfulness
- A Quest for Godliness
Also by Millard J. Erickson:
- The Concise Dictionary of Christian Theology
- Introducing Christian Doctrine
- Christian Theology is also available with the Theological Reference Bundle (19 Vols.)
In a future blog post, I’ll introduce you to a theologian who had a profound influence on Millard J. Erickson.

There are several characteristics that are frequently found among PTSD patients, although not every person with this disorder will experience the exact same symptoms. Some of the most common characteristics of those with post-traumatic stress disorder include frequent recollections of the traumatic event, feelings of guilt, and trouble maintaining healthy relationships. Additional characteristics of PTSD patients may include difficulty trusting others, inappropriate or exaggerated reactions, and chronic fear or anxiety. Insomnia, depression, and misplaced anger are also common characteristics of PTSD patients.
The primary characteristic of PTSD patients is a persistent feeling of reliving the traumatic event responsible for the development of post-traumatic stress disorder. A person with this condition repeatedly feels the same emotions experienced during this highly stressful period of life and mentally plays back the physical or emotional events over and over. Feelings of guilt are also common, and many people who suffer from this disorder feel somehow responsible for the painful events of the past.
Relationship problems are frequently seen among PTSD patients, and this is often caused by an inability to trust that anyone else could honestly have their best interests at heart. Suspicion and jealousy can become so severe that these patients inadvertently sabotage relationships, giving further credence to their inability to trust others. People experiencing post-traumatic stress are frequently unable to comprehend the idea that these fears do not have a logical basis.
Exaggerated physical or emotional responses are common characteristics of PTSD patients. Loud noises, someone approaching from behind, or hearing someone speak in a firm or threatening tone can cause reactions such as trembling, running away from the situation, or cowering in a corner for safety. These patients may feel guilty, confused, or embarrassed once they realize that they were never in any danger and that these reactions were not logical. This can add to the social isolation they already feel and offer justification for why no one seems to understand them.
Insomnia, depression, and chronic anxiety are typical characteristics of PTSD patients. Sleep may be difficult because of an intense fear that something bad will happen or that dreams of the event will be emotionally unbearable. Depression is a natural response to the feeling that things will never get better and a sense of normalcy will never be restored. Chronic anxiety often stems from an irrational fear that danger is lurking around every corner. Any of these symptoms should be reported to a doctor or mental health professional so that an individualized treatment plan can be created.

Four Seasons is one of the most luxurious hotel brands in the world, and it is natural to ask the question, is there a Four Seasons in the South Of France or The French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur)?
The answer is yes and it’s one of the best Four Seasons in Europe.
The French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southern France. It includes the glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes and the independent state of Monaco. The Four Seasons in the South of France is actually found on Cap Ferrat, a peninsula which is situated between Nice and Monaco. It is easy to get to in under 30 minutes taxi ride from Nice Airport and it is fantastic.
Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hot
- els are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. This means that most Four Seasons hotel room rates generally start at $500 – $1000 USD per night and because they don’t have a Four Seasons loyalty program, you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them on a Four Seasons hotel stay. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and benefit from special rewards at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.
Is There A Four Seasons In The South Of France?
Yes! It can be found on Cap Ferrat, a peninsula which is situated between Nice and Monaco. Perhaps surprisingly, there is no Four Seasons in Cannes or Saint-Tropez, but the one that is present in the South of France is beyond special. It may well be my favorite hotel in the entire world!
What is this Four Seasons like?
Paradise, you can read our review of Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel to find out more detail, but suffice to say, it is the best hotel on the French Riviera. Set in Belle Epoque splendor, in a building that dates back to the 1800s, this ultra-luxury hotel offers everything you would expect of the very best Four Seasons hotel, but with a sprinkle of French chic.
The Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat sits on the very tip of the Cap Ferrat peninsula, in the prime position amidst gated luxury villas. The hotel is accessed by large pearly gates. Behind the gates lies immaculate, tropical grounds framed by the deep blue sea.
The main building is a majestic white palace and inside the foyer, you are welcomed into a realm of white marble and pillars. Above you, ornate high ceilings showcase the most beautiful chandeliers; a mix of crystal and silver Belle Epoque style lanterns. Merino glass chandeliers decorate the adjoining bar and the walls throughout the hotel are decorated with stunning artwork.
The gardens of Le Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat are a fragrant mix of pines, lush tropical bushes, cacti and apparently, the climate is so mild that even bananas grow here. There are 15 gardeners keeping these gardens immaculate and there is hardly a leaf out of place. Over the main terrace where the chef serves up his delicious plates, fairytale-like trees form a natural shade to shelter diners from the hot sun. When you look out to sea, the pink flowers in the trees seem to contrast and then match the sky as the sunsets.
Beyond the gardens is Club Dauphane, the beach club, accessed by crossing a tiny road and taking a cablecar down the cliff. For my son, this cable car is the absolute highlight, like a glass bubble that takes you down to the pool below (and back up and down and up and down if you are 6 and like pressing buttons!). The Beach Club has a super restaurant, plenty of loungers, and a fabulous saltwater infinity pool.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP). On Thursday, Belarusian authorities called the local service of the US-funded radio station Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty extremist and launched a criminal investigation against one of its journalists.
This was the latest step in a months-long crackdown on the country’s independent media.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus has entered the publication known in the country as Radio Svaboda and its journalists into the state register of extremist organizations. Earlier this month, a court in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, ruled to recognize Radio Svaboda’s social media pages as extremist.
Journalists and members of the public in Belarus face up to seven years in prison for distributing materials produced by “extremist” media.
Also on Thursday, authorities opened a criminal case against Andrei Kuznechik, a 43-year-old journalist for the publication, his relatives said. It was not immediately clear what the Grasshopper was accused of.
The journalist was detained a month ago and twice sentenced to 10 days in prison. According to RFE / RL President Jamie Fly, he remains in custody, although he served both sentences.

“Andrey Kuznechik has finished his sentences. As far as we know, the Belarusian authorities continue to detain him, in fact, as a kidnapped hostage. Andrey should be allowed to return to his family immediately. Journalism is not a crime, ”Fly said in an online statement.
More than 300 independent media outlets and channels on the messaging app Telegram have been deemed “extremist” in Belarus after covering massive protests that erupted following the controversial presidential election in August 2020. The official results allowed authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko a sixth term in power, but were denounced by the opposition and the West as fiction.
In response to unprecedented anti-government demonstrations, the Lukashenka government brutally suppressed the protests, arresting more than 35,000 people and brutally beating thousands of them. All leading opposition activists have either fled the country or been imprisoned.
After the protests subsided, authorities targeted independent media outlets, human rights groups, individual journalists and activists.
Currently, 31 Belarusian journalists are serving their sentences or awaiting trial.
Last Thursday, a court in Gomel sentenced the famous blogger and journalist of Radio Liberty Igor Losik to 15 years in prison.
“Journalism in Belarus is equated with a criminal offense, and dozens of colleagues were thrown into jail just for fulfilling their professional duties,” said Andrei Bastunets, head of the Belarusian Association of Journalists. “North Korean standards have been set for freedom of speech in Belarus.”
Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya, who ran against Lukashenko in the 2020 elections and who was pressured to leave the country soon after the protests erupted, told The Associated Press on Thursday that “the truth cannot be beaten with truncheons. and go to jail. “
“The regime hopes in vain that repression against journalists will help them,” Tsikhanovskaya said, commenting on the actions against RFE / RL.
“There are fears that journalists will continue to expose corruption schemes, investigate who organized the migration crisis (on the border with the EU) and how, write about the terrible torture in prisons. And for Radio Svaboda, this is an assessment of its work, (a) recognition of its necessity and effectiveness, “Tsikhnauskaya said.

Why Choose a Geothermal Heating System? Let’s take a look at all the advantages of installing a Geothermal System for your home, commercial or industrial heating and cooling needs.
The Benefits of Geothermal Systems
With great efficiency comes great energy cost savings. This is the number one reason people consider geothermal systems. By using the earth’s thermal properties we unlock a free source of energy that will never expire. Geothermal systems are the most efficient home heating solution providing three to four units of heating energy, which equals an efficiency of 300% to 400%. Even the most efficient conventional home heating systems are only rated at about 98% efficient.
Low Operating Costs
For the Vancouver marketplace we see energy cost savings of up to 70% for customers using geothermal systems. Geothermal systems can also supplement or provide all the heat needed for domestic hot water, hot tubs, and swimming pools.
Geothermal systems eliminate the combustion of fossil fuels on site and dramatically lower the need to generate power. Geothermal systems greatly reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses and the environmental damage associated with nonrenewable resource extraction.
Comfort and Consistency
Because geothermal systems use the relatively stable temperature of the earth as an energy source, you are assured of constant, even heating in winter, and better humidity control in the summer. Geothermal systems eliminate the need for exhaust venting, reducing the number of penetrations in the building envelope and improving weather tightness. With all your energy savings you can buy more comfortable furniture too.
No flame, no flue, no odours, no risk from carbon monoxide. Just safe, reliable operation year after year.
Ground source heat pumps can provide any combination of forced-air heating, radiant in-floor heating, domestic hot water, and air conditioning all from the same unit. From houses to office buildings to community swimming pools, and everything in between, geothermal systems can be designed to provide efficient heating and cooling solutions.
The completely self-contained, indoor equipment does not need a noisy, unsightly outside condensing unit. Geothermal systems are quiet and discrete.
