It’s been a few years since I’ve gone on a proper vacation. For me, vacation has only meant paid time off, catching up on reality TV and just vegging out—of course shopping would have to be stirred into that mix. Although I love those moments, for me that’s not a real vacation.
The thing is, I made this promise to myself way back when that I would venture out, explore and experience all that the world has to offer. Yes I have been to a few places, both in and out of the country, but there are still so many people to meet, cuisines to enjoy, and let’s not forget all the wonders of the world to see. It's time to get traveling.
Recently I was able to go on a small vacation back home to my family’s country of Jamaica. I had had enough of the lamping around, so my fiancé booked our flights and in a matter of days we were off to land of jerk chicken—ok not really but there’s no jerk chicken like Jamaica’s jerk chicken. Seriously!
Even though this wasn’t my first, second or even third time being on the island, I really enjoyed experiencing the land again, this time with my fiancé in tow, who is also Jamaican born and raised. There was nothing like relaxing on the beaches of white sand and crystal blue water while eating fried parrotfish and festival (a traditional Jamaican side item).
And while the food was nothing new to me, there’s definitely nothing like eating freshly picked produce, like ackee right off the tree to prepare the country’s national dish of ackee and salt fish (my dad’s favorite). Or a carefully selected breadfruit (my favorite) that has just been roasted for a plate of fried breadfruit and mackerel. And I can’t leave out the sweet mangos fallen off auntie’s mango tree and the sugarcane chopped right out of grandma’s backyard—yum!! It gets no better than that.
And while I love the land and could go on and on about it and my vacation experience, I’m hoping this small trip has reinvigorated my quest to experience the joys of being a world traveler. The world awaits me!
Jamaica Fun Facts:
- Ackee is a fruit and when consumed before having the chance to ripen and open on the tree can be poisonous.
- Jamaica celebrates its 50th year of Independence this August.
- One US dollar is approximately $87 Jamaican dollars.

AS I SEE IT
Home schooling got kicked centre stage recently following critical comment from Tanaiste Micheal Martin, a former teacher “I am not a great fan of home schooling, I think kids need to socialise. I just find the whole thing disquieting,” he said. Not surprisingly heated discussion followed on the airwaves.
Given my own experiences of schools in Belfast – dire in one where I was bullied for not being sporty and uninspiring in the next – gave me to thinking. On the face of it home schooling seems to have advantages which would have appealed to me. One on one teaching with time for discussion, rather than being silent in a big class, freedom to follow subjects that interested me, (parents aren’t required to follow the curriculum) and no dreaded sport.
Normally a low-key topic, home schooling has become more popular since the pandemic, showing a 25% increase. Parents have a constitutional right to educate their children at home. They don’t need a teaching qualification although there are many teachers among the estimated 4000, (the official figure is lower at 1,837 due to the numbers awaiting registration with Tusla, currently 1,940). Children are required to have a suitable level of education and among the reasons parents choose to home school are belief in a child – centred approach, cultural issues, a child’s special needs or difficulties in school such as bullying.
One of the criticisms of home schooling is the lack of oversight by the State which only occurs once in Ireland. Parents home-schooling children aged over six years must apply to Tusla for registration, which may be granted after an inspection. Currently, wait times are running at a year or more.
But there is no oversight by the Department of Education. In the US there has been a considerable increase in home schooling mainly due to the numbers of conservative evangelical parents who don’t want their children exposed to liberal state education. The lack of oversight and balance between parent rights and the rights of children to education where they may be exposed to belief systems isolated from societal influence has caused concern there.
There are more members of the Home Education Network (HEN) teaching their children at primary level. I wonder, though, about the challenges when teaching at secondary level and access for pupils to third level education. To get an insight I spoke with Catherine Monaghan from Ashford, Co.Wicklow who has home-schooled her son Theo, since he was three- years-old.
“I felt he was so happy and thriving and I wanted him to be free and not be confined by school,” she told me. Living in Australia at the time she made contact with other home schoolers there, before returning to Ireland when Theo was 12 , continuing to home school her son and joining HEN.
“It is a lifestyle choice really. It has been a wonderful experience, having that time together is a gift. You find ways to do the things that the kids want to do and there are so many resources out there.” Theo is now 17 and has just finished homeschooling. He is now studying drama at Level 6.
Catherine Monaghan doesn’t agree with the idea that home schooling lacks socialisation, pointing out that her son plays in the community, has strong connections there, meeting a diverse cross-section of people rather than being with the same group of same age children daily.”There isn’t so much peer pressure when they are not together all the time,” she says.
HEN run zoom sessions every month to for their members to keep in touch. In turn, members run local events and the organisation runs a three day annual get together.
As for teaching at second level Catherine Monaghan hasn’t experienced any difficulty.”There are so many resources out there and you are just building on what you did the day before. Having done it I feel as if I am now better educated than when I left school!”
Results obtained through Quality and Qualifications Ireland( QQI) and Further Education and Training Awards Council (FETAC) allow home schooled students who don’t have a Leaving Cert to progress to university.
Home schooling may become more prominent in future as people exercise choice, predominantly the parents’ choice. Among the questions going forward is how children’s rights and need to become independent are affected. Some oversight seems wise to ensure that children are faring well. In school they have a variety of teachers, whereas at home there may be only one.

The 104 service will be available round the clock and will be staffed by 20 people during the day and 10 at night. The staff include doctors and support staff. DC Image
Nellore: The sudden spurt in Covid-positive cases from 203 on Wednesday to 395 on Thursday caused alarm in the district. However, the virulence is low and home Isolation kits are being supplied to the infected with advice to be in isolation for one week.
Health officials have been advising those who took the ‘booster’ doses not to be complacent as there are several cases where people were infected though they had the precautionary third dose.
"Though we are alarmed by the steep increase in the number of Covid cases, we are content because there is hardly any hospitalisation or serious cases unlike in the past," collector K.V.N. Chakradhar Babu said.
Speaking to this correspondent, Babu said doctors were recommending home isolation for a week to all those infected. The administration had opened 12 Covid care centres, one for each constituency, for those who don’t have a facility for home isolation.
According to the collector, a control room with phone number 104 has been activated to answer questions with regard to Covid and to arrange home isolation kits and other assistance.
The 104 service will be available round the clock and will be staffed by 20 people during the day and 10 at night. The staff include doctors and support staff.
The medical kit contains some antibiotics, vitamin tablets, and tablets for cold and cough. Most of the patients were recovering within three days and they are allowed to exit home isolation after seven days unlike 14 days in the past, said Dr S. Rajya Lakshmi, district medical and health ifficer.
She appealed to those eligible to make use of the booster dose being provided to those in the 60-age group. Dr Lakshmi urged the people who had not taken the vaccination so far to get it immediately.

According to press reports, three agencies and a governing Anti-Monopoly Commission will comprise China’s competition enforcement regime when the country’s long-awaited Anti-Monopoly Law takes effect on 1 August. It has been reported that enforcement duties will be split between the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. The regulatory regime would mirror predictions from competition specialists and would incorporate the three governmental bodies that have been most active in training and workshops leading up to the law’s enactment. According to press reports, the Commerce Ministry would become home to the country’s merger control unit. The other two agencies would handle behavioral issues, including pricing and non-pricing-related abuse of dominance cases, respectively. The structure may also be the result of a compromise between the three agencies, as all three were rumored to be jockeying for position during discussions of how to implement the law. Competition specialists say that while the arrangement may end any struggle over which body should enforce the law, the three-tiered structure could also result in delays and uncertainty when developing enforcement standards.
On July 24, the European Commission launched a public consultation on the functioning of the Council Regulation (1/2003) that sets out the rules for the Commission’s enforcement of EU Treaty antitrust rules. This Regulation, which took effect on May 1, 2004, also entrusts national competition authorities and courts with the role of applying the EU antitrust rules, meaning that there is wide-spread enforcement of the same set of rules to prosecute cartels and other anti-competitive practices throughout Europe. The EC is looking for views on all aspects of its implementation in practice. Regulation 1/2003 was the result of the most comprehensive reform of antitrust procedures since 1962. Its key objectives are more effective enforcement of EC antitrust rules in the interests of consumers and businesses, while bringing about a more level playing field and reducing red tape for companies operating in Europe. The EC will use the results of the consultation to prepare the report on the functioning of Regulation 1/2003, which should be presented to the European Parliament and the Council by May 1, 2009. Interested parties are invited to submit their comments by 30 September 2008. Regulation 1/2003 was a landmark reform, amounting to the most far-reaching overhaul of the EU antitrust procedures in more than 40 years. Regulation 1/2003 is the legal basis of the Commission’s investigation powers. It enables the EC to impose fines for violations of EU antitrust law and to exchange information and coordinate enforcement action with national competition authorities.
On July 25, a District Judge at London’s City of Westminster Magistrates Court ruled that Mr. Ian Norris (former chief executive of Morgan Crucible) can be extradited to the US to face obstruction of justice charges. In March 2008, the UK’s House of Lords ruled that charges relating to alleged price-fixing, in the context of a cartel, between 1989 and 2000 did not give rise to an extraditable offence as price-fixing was not, in itself, a criminal offence in the UK at the time. However, the House of Lords remitted the case to a District Judge to assess whether it would be proportional to grant an extradition request in relation to the secondary offences regarding Mr. Norris’ alleged obstruction of the US criminal investigation into the cartel. The District Judge ruled that, even though the price-fixing charges had been thrown out, the remaining obstruction charges are distinct and substantial offences which merit prosecution. Under the UK’s Extradition Act 2003, the UK’s Home Secretary has 60 days to decide whether to approve extradition. That decision can then be appealed.
On July 17, the South African Competition Commission (SACC) announced that it had received a Corporate Leniency Policy (CLP) application pursuant to raids it had conducted at Cape Town Iron and Steel Works, Highveld and the South African Iron and Steel Institute (“SAISI”) in June. The raids were conducted as part of an investigation into allegations of price fixing and exclusive dealing in the steel industry. The SACC stated that according to information submitted by the leniency applicant, discussions and meetings allegedly took place between the parties and agreements were allegedly reached to fix prices, exchange price lists and fix discounts. The information received by the SACC also indicates that parties allegedly allocated customers by agreeing on which customers to supply for various long steel products, and shared commercially sensitive information through SAISI. The information submitted to the SACC further suggests that the alleged conduct affected the allocation of work to some major construction projects in the country.
On July 23, the European Commission published the details of a tender for the provision of a study on the quantification of damages caused by competition law infringements. In its White Paper on damages actions, the EC stated that it intended to draw up a framework with pragmatic, non-binding guidance for the quantification of damages in antitrust cases. The EC recognizes that both courts and the damaged parties may lack the specialized expertise to conduct the necessary economic analysis. In order to assist the EC in preparing such guidance, it is now commissioning a study on this issue. In particular, the EC is seeking a study which identifies possible ways to facilitate the identification and quantification of damages caused by competition law infringements and which will enable the EC to provide national courts with an accessible framework that will assist those courts in taking informed decisions. The study should, therefore, set out and explain the relevant parameters and applicable economic models and it should also identify possible presumptions, proxies, grounds for estimation and other practical methods which would facilitate the quantification of harm caused by competition law breaches. On this basis, the study should ultimately suggest a possible framework for the quantification of damages which could be provided to national courts.
On August 1, Singapore’s Competition Commission (CSS) announced that it advised the Singapore School Transport Association to withdraw price recommendations made to its members. In response to rising fuel costs, the Association allegedly advised its members to increase the price of scheduled school bus services from S$5 to S$15 per month. "CCS holds the view that price recommendations or guidelines tend to restrict independent pricing decisions. The circulation of such recommended prices by a trade association, even if it is non-binding, is likely to prompt industry players to cluster their prices around, if not exactly matching, the recommended prices. This is not helpful to free competition". School bus operators in Singapore are selected by school committees based on several criteria, including fares. The CSS stated this showed a competitive process existed and that there was no need for any price guidelines to be issued.
On July 16, the EC adopted an antitrust decision prohibiting 24 European collecting societies from restricting competition by limiting their ability to offer their services to authors and commercial users outside their domestic territory. However, the decision allows collecting societies to maintain their current system of bi-lateral agreements and to keep their right to set levels of royalty payments due within their domestic territory. The alleged prohibited practices consist of clauses in the reciprocal representation agreements concluded by members of CISAC (the "International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers") as well as other concerted practices between those collecting societies. The practices allegedly infringe rules on restrictive business practices (Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement). The EC Decision requires the collecting societies to end these alleged infringements by modifying their agreements and practices, but does not impose fines. The removal of these restrictions will allow authors to choose which collecting society manages their copyright (e.g. on the basis of quality of service, efficiency of collection and level of management fees deducted). It will also make it easier for users to obtain licenses for broadcasting music over the internet, by cable and by satellite in several countries from a single collection society of their choice.
On July 29, South Africa’s Competition Commissioner, Mr. Shan Ramburuth, told the Parliamentary Committee on Trade and Industry that proposed reforms to the country’s competition laws could actually weaken the competition enforcement regime. In particular, he raised concerns about the criminalization of cartel behavior and the lack of clarity in the proposed amendments which she said could leave the authorities facing constitutional challenges that would detract from effective cartel enforcement. Under the draft law, which was released in May, guilty individuals would face penalties of up to 500,000 rand (€40,000) and up to 10 years in prison. Mr. Ramburuth stated that although he is in favor of tougher cartel sanctions, he believes higher administrative fines would be a more effective solution than criminalizing anti-competitive behavior. He also says that if the bill was implemented, businesses would be less likely to apply for leniency or enter into settlement agreements. "By criminalizing anti-competitive behavior and making individuals personally liable, company directors would be far less willing to reach consent agreements with competition authorities". He added that the recent cartel convictions in the bread, scrap metal and pharmaceutical industries, had come in the form of admissions contained in consent orders, and that the bread and pharmaceutical cases also relied on information in exchange for corporate leniency. It is likely that the South African Parliament will consider the concerns raised by the competition authorities before it finalizes legislation in September.
On July 10, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) handed down its judgment on the appeal by Bertelsmann AG and Sony Corporation against the judgment of the Court of First Instance (CFI) which annulled the European Commission’s 2004 decision to approve the creation of a joint venture between Sony and Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) under Article 8(2) of the old EC Merger Regulation (Regulation 4064/89). The ECJ set aside the CFI judgment on the basis that the CFI made a number of errors law, although it rejected the appellants’ arguments that there is a general presumption that a notified concentration is compatible with the common market and that an approval decision can never be annulled for inadequate reasoning. The ECJ found that the CFI placed too much reliance on the conclusions in the EC’s Statement of Objections. Further, the CFI placed too high an investigatory standard on the EC and erred in relying on confidential documents which the Commission could not have relied on. The CFI also misconstrued the legal criteria applying to a collective dominant position: it failed to analyze market transparency in the light of a plausible theory of tacit co-ordination. Finally, the CFI erred in finding that the EC had failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons. The ECJ has referred the case back to the CFI for reconsideration. This judgment provides useful guidance on the role of the Statement of Objections in merger cases and the EC’s duties in the conduct of its investigation following issuance of the statement of objections.

MOTHER 'FAILED TO PROTECT BABY'
A baby died after suffering multiple fractures and a brain injury at the hands of her violent father after her mother failed to protect her, a court has heard.
Jessica Wiggins, 19, is alleged to have allowed her partner, Tyler Vallance, to carry out two separate assaults which left 12-week-old Isabella Vallance with nine broken ribs.
A jury at Worcester Crown Court was told that Isabella died in hospital five days after being found apparently lifeless at her parents' flat in Redditch, Worcestershire.
Tyler Vallance, 21, is not facing trial after admitting the unlawful killing of Isabella, who died on December 12, 2012.
Opening the Crown's case against Wiggins, prosecutor Christopher Hotten QC alleged that Isabella was first attacked around a month before her death.
Mr Hotten told jurors Isabella was taken to hospital from her parents' home in Stanley Close, Redditch, on December 7 after a 999 call made by Wiggins at 12.40pm. During the call, which was played to the jury, a distraught Wiggins was given instructions on how to attempt to revive her daughter, who appeared to have stopped breathing.
The court heard Isabella died of a head injury after being transferred from Redditch's Alexandra Hospital to the paediatric intensive care unit at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
A post-mortem examination showed the infant had multiple retinal haemorrhages likely to be the result of an inflicted brain injury. Explaining medical professionals' findings, Mr Hotten told the jury: "It was the view of these experts that Isabella had sustained injury on at least two separate occasions - distinct but similar incidents."
The first incident, occurring approximately three to four weeks prior to death, had caused sub-dural bleeding and eight rib fractures, the court heard. Meanwhile, the medical experts took the view that the second set of injuries, including a ninth broken rib, and fractures to the left thigh and right leg, happened between four and six days before death.
"The presence of those injuries suggests or implies the use of significant force," said Mr Hotten, who claimed the mechanism of injury was likely to have been shaking or impact, or a combination of both.
Alleging that Tyler Vallance was responsible for causing Isabella's apparent collapse on December 7, Mr Hotten told jurors Wiggins was facing trial because she knew her partner posed a danger to her child.
The lawyer told the court: "She knew her partner, with whom she lived, was a violent, volatile and short-tempered man who posed a serious risk of significant harm to Isabella but she did nothing to protect her daughter with fatal consequences."
Mr Hotten, who said it was the first duty of a mother to protect her child whatever the consequences for herself, added: "The essence of what the prosecution allege is that Jessica was aware of the significant risk ... that Tyler presented to Isabella.
"She failed to protect Isabella in relation to the earlier separate injuries. We say that she must have known something was wrong with Isabella as a result of the earlier assault."
Wiggins denies causing or allowing the death of a child and child cruelty alleged to have taken place between October 5 and December 8, 2012.

North west London mum ignored family’s pleas to leave her terrorist husband
- Credit: central news
A British Muslim woman from north west London accused of sending cash to her terrorist husband in Syria ignored her family’s pleas to leave him, the Old Bailey heard.
Amal El-Wahabi, 27, allegedly hatched a plot for her friend Nawal Msaad, also 27, to smuggle 20,000 Euros in her pants to give to husband Aine Davis.
Giving evidence for the first time, El-Wahabi said she stopped speaking to her parents when she first dated Davis at 19 as they did not like him.
El-Wahabi said Davis was a dealer of cannabis and class A drugs, and had been in prison before they met for gun crime and drugs charges.
She told the jury: “I stayed with him as he was always there for me and helped me out with so much.”
You may also want to watch:
Msaad was en route to Turkey - allegedly a stopping point before Syria - when she was stopped at Heathrow airport.
El-Wahabi told the court Davis was a practising Muslim when they met and they went on to have a son together in December 2008, but temporarily parted because of the company he was keeping.

Msaad from Holloway, and El-Wahabi, both deny becoming concerned in a funding arrangement as a result of which money was made available or was to be made available to another, and they knew or had reasonable cause to suspect that it would or may be used for the purposes of terrorism.

Gerard O'Regan: 'The EU is not for turning on Brexit as Westminster sinks into cataclysm'
For German car makers and Italian Prosecco producers, it’s still a case of mum’s the word. And the silence from Spanish wine sellers and the Dutch cheese sector has been equally deafening. And therein lies the ultimate tale of Brexit. Members of the EU fraternity – despite all sorts of speculation to the contrary – have not broken ranks.
This was supposed to be the ace in the pack for British negotiators. The Brussels cabal would crack when hardy came to hardy. Politicians on the continent would come under unprecedented pressure from those car, wine and cheese makers. The belief was that once a serious risk to sales in the lucrative UK market emerged, businesses large and small would agitate to provide the London government with an easy exit deal.
We were warned that, at the end of the day, business is business. For many firms, exports to the UK – the world’s sixth largest economy – is a vital lifeline. No wonder, from an Irish perspective, there was a gnawing fear matters related to motors, wine and cheese could see us come unstuck.

Would not our fixation on not having a hard Border between Newry and Dundalk seem small time and parochial? After all, billions of euro in profits, involving some of the largest conglomerates on the continent, could be at risk if the Irish ‘backstop’ scuppered an agreed exit deal.
Yet, to the surprise of many, ranging from extremist Tory Brexiteers to the DUP, backing for the backstop has held rock solid. As Westminster sinks into ever deeper cataclysm, the pressure for some sort of give on the EU side has reached unprecedented levels. But other than meaningless platitudes, Angela Merkel and Co have remained unyielding in their approach to the ‘Irish question’.
The result is that this round of international negotiations is like no other in the history of Irish diplomacy. Simply put, being part of a united 27-member power bloc has given Leo Varadkar an aura of strength, completely unknown to previous delegations fighting our corner in foreign fields. In contrast, Theresa May has often cut a lonely figure, dwarfed by the sheer force of numbers, and expertise, on the opposing side.
But we cannot allow ourselves to be carried away. Our EU partners, just like Irish political leaders, will all too often make decisions on the basis of national self-interest rather than any idea of European solidarity. But then again, self-interest is the primary reason our EU partners are sticking by us on this occasion. The key drivers of the European project, Germany and France, want to protect their much-valued single market and customs union, come what may.
And so, on mature reflection, the fundamentals of this Brexit tale are very simple. Ireland is staying. Britain is leaving. In that sense the EU should unequivocally side with the player who is sticking with the team. That is as it should be. All the more so when there is a majority in Ireland – on both sides of the Border – who wish to remain part of the EU.
It is now clear there has been a grievous miscalculation in Britain as to what the whole idea of Brexit really entailed. It was never as simple as just waving goodbye. And whatever the benefits of trade deals with the likes of Singapore – recent days are a reminder of operating on the economic fringes of Europe – will pose unforeseen challenges.
The Westminster gridlock, with neither the Conservatives nor Labour capable of putting forward a coherent Brexit strategy, will have long-term consequences for politics across the water. There is inevitably speculation about the formation of a new party, which would cater for disaffected middle-of-the-road types, among both the Tories and Corbyn-led Labour. But the first past the post electoral system means such a project is most likely doomed to failure.
Meanwhile, as of now, the EU conglomerate is not for turning – although the future on many fronts remains on a knife-edge. But, as ever, perhaps there was a clue as to the way things are going in the brooding presence of Angela Merkel while another Brussels showdown unfolded. Responding to the latest Theresa May plea for change to the exit arrangements, she said: “We have our principles – the EU 27 will continue to be very united on these.”

This week, in bulletin 30 of “And So To Embroider” by the Needlework Development Scheme, we learn all about sewing and embroidering cushions. Quilted cushions, designing cushions, bolsters and trims. We also find out exactly what a “housewife opening” is, and I discovered that I’ve been using them for years!
In previous weeks we’ve discovered all sorts of new techniques.
And So To Embroider 29b: Designing with Flowers, teaches us how to design from nature using floral motifs, complete with projects.
And So To Embroider 28b: Designing with Letters, features a full cross stitch alphabet and teaches us to design monograms in a large range of styles including Assisi work, padded satin stitch and more.
And So To Embroider 27b: Edgings and Trimmings, is full of tips and techniques for adding fringes, hem stitching and trims.
And So To Embroider 26b: Designing with Leaves, contains a lovely mid century needlework bag with leaf design to make, a cushion project, new embroidery stitches and tips for designing your own motifs and projects based on leaf shapes.
And So To Embroider 25b: Designing Four Aprons, features patterns for sewing three aprons, with design ideas for a fourth, plus lots of other projects for your kitchen.
And So To Embroider 24b: Preparing to Embroider, covers the right needles and transfer techniques for a range of materials and styles of embroidery.
And So To Embroider 23b: Embroidery on Woven Textiles, teaches us to look at woven textiles in a whole new way, and to put the floating threads in a weave to good use as part of an embroidered design, or even adding tassels to them.
And So To Embroider 22b: Designing for the Breakfast Table, features a range of projects for a special “breakfast in bed” tray or dining room table.
As always, I’ve included modern video and photo tutorials for any techniques included, for my fellow “visual” learners.
You’ll find all of these, along with bulletins 1 to 21 (and a whole lot more!) on the Vintage Needlework Books page. I hope you’re enjoying them, and I’ll continue adding a new leaflet every week until the end of the series.

FREMONT, Calif. (KRON) – A vigil was held on Friday night honoring the life of Michelle Go, the Bay Area native who was pushed to her death in front of a New York City subway.
Friends and community members gathered in Fremont to honor the life of the 40-year-old.
“Even though I didn’t know her personally but I just feel like she could be any one of us. I just want to be here to support her family this is very, very difficult time,” Linda Hsu said.
On Jan. 15, Go was waiting on a New York City subway platform in Times Square when police say she was pushed in front of a train in an unprovoked attack.
61-year-old Simon Martial, who is described as homeless and emotionally disturbed, turned himself in.
Friends say Go was a volunteer helping at-risk and homeless families. She was also working as a consultant in Manhattan.
Go was born in Berkeley and grew up in Fremont. Philip Jang knew her since middle school.
“Everything that they said about her is true. She’s absolutely the best person and we’ve lost a really good person,” Jang said.
Fremont city council member Teresa Keng organized the vigil calling her death a senseless act of violence.
The man accused of pushing Go is charged with second-degree murder.
Police have not classified this as a hate crime but the Asian American community says this is another attack in a string of violent incidents targeting the AAPI community since the pandemic.

Adaptation of a low cost motion recognition system for custom operation from shrink-wrapped hardware
Sotiropoulos S., Papademetriou K., Dollas A.
Copyright 2003 ACM. A low cost, embedded, reconfigurable device for motion detection of kmetically challenged persons has been developed. This paper presents the methods by which the device can be adapted to individual user's needs. The accelerometer data inputs are processed by the determination of the dominant axis of each motion, and by the determination of thresholds and delays that can be used to customize the system to individual needs. The resulting system is a highly adaptable input device which maintains the low cost constraints of less than $70.

The Cochrane Collaboration recently published the abstract of a meta-analysis on zinc for treating the common cold. I cannot get a hold of the entire article, but the brief results are that they found 15 studies that were of suitable quality (randomized, placebo controlled, etc.) with results from 966 participants. They pooled the results and found that, compared to placebo, zinc appeared to reduce the duration of symptoms of the commond cold by about one day.
The zinc had to be started within 24 hours of symptoms starting and the dose, formulation, and duration were not standardized. Statistically, the result was significant (p = 0.001). Also significant was the increase in nausea (115% higher with zinc), bad taste (164% higher with zinc), and overall adverse effect (59% higher with zinc).
1. Zinc might reduce the duration of symptoms of a cold by about one day
2. Equally likely is that you will be nauseated or have other side effects from the zinc
3. We do not know whether to take pills, lozenges, or some other form
4. We do not know what dose or duration is effective
Having conducted meta-analyses of my own, I know that the analyses can be fraught with problems. Now, I do not have any reason to expect that to be the case, and just because a method can be shoddy does not at all imply that it must be, however, the abstract simply does not provide adequate information to give a more thorough analysis of the quality and likely accuracy of the statistical methods.
Should you take zinc? It seems to me that, at best, based on this data, the results are a wash. If we trust the results, is one day less of runny nose and cough worth a week of feeling nauseated from taking pills?

This is one time Belinda Carlisle and partner Jonathan Roberts had hoped not to come in first: They became the first casualty of Dancing with the Stars' eighth season.
They landed in the bottom two alongside Steve Wozniak and his partner Karina Smirnoff, who were at the bottom of the leader board after two weeks of competition.
In a DWTS first, the two couples went toe-to-toe in a dance-off that the judges scored. The new scores were then combined with viewers’ votes - which account for 50 percent of the couples’ scores - from the first two weeks of dancing.
Their routine fell apart, and off they went.
“I had a great time,” a disappointed Carlisle said in her farewell speech, adding, “I wish I could have done better for Jonathan, because he’s a great teacher.”
Oh well. Someone had to go first. This defied our official odds somewhat, but wasn't a huge shock. Next up for remaining couples: the fox trot or the samba.
Can an inept Steve Wozniak possibly last another week? Will Steve-O stay healthy? Can anyone stop Gilles Marini, Shawn Johnson and Melissa Rycroft?

Background: A diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) is established using six principal symptoms. Because the principal symptoms are deeply connected with KD, it is thus important to investigate the usefulness of the principal symptoms for evaluating the disease severity of KD.
Methods: Patients with definite KD or suspicion of KD were retrospectively examined. Blood test data and the incidence of patients who failed to respond to the initial i.v. immunoglobulin treatment (non-responders) were compared between patients with six principal symptoms, including fever of ≤ 4 days, before treatment of KD (six-symptom patients), and those with five or fewer symptoms (five-symptom patients).
Results: The study group of 207 patients who were treated with immunoglobulin consisted of 121 six-symptom patients and 86 five-symptom patients. The six-symptom patients were older and had higher neutrophil proportion and total bilirubin, and lower serum sodium at diagnosis than the five-symptom patients. Although the treatments did not differ between the groups, the six-symptom patients had a higher incidence of non-responders than the five-symptom patients (17% vs 5%; P= 0.008). Logistic regression analysis showed that six-symptom status was related to the risk of being a non-responder (odds ratio [OR], 5.3; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.6-17.4). This association was still significant after adjustment for the effect of age, neutrophil proportion, and total bilirubin and sodium (OR, 4.4; 95%CI: 1.4-17.3).
Conclusions: The number of principal symptoms before treatment is a useful guide to KD disease severity. Six-symptom patients have a higher risk of being a non-responder than five-symptom patients.

Reservoir Characterization Based from Log and Seismic Facies Analysis: A Simple Approach to Estimate Initial Volumetrics
Paradigm Geophysical Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, India
Reservoir characterization proves to be very challenging with a limited dataset and/or when correlation between the data is poor. Full utilization of the available data to extract maximum information is the goal of every geoscientist. We have followed a procedure of geobody (distinct geological features) extraction based on the facies analysis. This approach can be summarized in two steps:
1) Structural: Extracting the main reservoir body based on seismic envelope.
2) Reservoir Characterization based on log and seismic facies analysis.
The seismic facies classification is based on principal component analysis which is a seismic pattern recognition methodology. The well logs have high reliability in the sample point but are restricted laterally. Thus calibrating the seismic facies with the log facies provides a trend for the interpolation of these facies.
On the basis of facies classification the seismic amplitude features are clustered, thereby exposing geobodies. A connectivity analysis is performed throughout and each geobody is given a unique ranking and volumetrics is calculated respectively. This approach is illustrated on a 3D seismic data set of a channel deposit.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is in thе NFL’s concussion protоcol after experiencing possible sуmptоms of a head injurу, endangering his streak of 194 consecutive starts since 2006.
Rivers tоld thе Chargers about his sуmptоms Mondaу after thеу returned from a 20-17 overtime loss in Jacksonville, coach Anthonу Lуnn said.
The Chargers (3-6) are still hopeful Rivers can plaу on Sundaу when thеу host thе Buffalo Bills, but thеу will be cautious with thе health of one of thе most durable quarterbacks in NFL histоrу.
“He needs tо pass thе test first,” Lуnn said. “If he’s not healthу, we do not want him on thе field. But if he’s healthу and readу tо go, thеn (he’ll plaу).”
Rivers wasn’t sacked bу thе Jaguars, but he was hit five times and pressured regularlу. Lуnn wasn’t certain when Rivers was hurt, but thе quarterback tоok a big shot when he threw a long interception in overtime.
Rivers is thе foundation of thе franchise that moved tо thе Los Angeles area this уear. He spent his first two NFL seasons as thе understudу for Drew Brees, but thе North Carolina State product has started everу game in thе regular season and thе plaуoffs for thе Chargers since he became thеir starting quarterback in thе 2006 opener.
“I don’t even reallу have an experience with him not being out thеre,” said tight end Antоnio Gates, Rivers’ teammate since 2004.
“I’m prettу sure thеу’ll go through thе right steps in thе protоcols tо trу tо get him back on thе field. His health is thе main concern. … That’s speaking from a personal standpoint as a friend, just making sure he’s healthу enough tо go out and plaу and help us win.”
With 185 straight regular-season starts and nine plaуoff starts, Rivers has thе fourth-longest streak for a quarterback in NFL histоrу.
Brett Favre set thе NFL record with 321 starts from 1992-2010. Peуtоn Manning made 227 consecutive starts from 1998-2011, while thе New York Giants’ Eli Manning has a still-active streak of 220 straight starts since November 2004.
Rivers is 10th in NFL histоrу with 48,096 уards passing in 14 seasons with thе Chargers. While thеу have struggled in recent seasons, Rivers and Gates led thе Chargers tо four straight AFC West titles from 2006-09, along with thе 2007 AFC championship game.
Rivers has passed for 2,263 уards this season with 15 tоuchdowns and seven interceptions, completing 60.1 percent of his 323 throws. Nobodу else on Los Angeles’ roster has thrown a pass.
If Rivers can’t plaу Sundaу, Lуnn saуs he is confident in backup Kellen Clemens, who hasn’t started an NFL game since 2013 with thе St. Louis Rams. Although he is well-versed in coordinatоr Ken Whisenhunt’s offense, Clemens has barelу plaуed over thе past 3½ seasons with thе Chargers, throwing just 10 passes and getting most of his field time as a kick holder.
“I feel fine about Kellen,” Lуnn said. “He’s well-prepared. He’s a veteran. Obviouslу, I’d rathеr have mу starter in thеre. But if something happen with Phil, we’ll go with Kellen.”
The Chargers don’t have tо decide until Sundaу morning whethеr Rivers will plaу, and Lуnn didn’t seem anxious tо make a quick decision this week.
“Philip is obviouslу thе cornerstоne of what we do and how we implement our game plan,” Gates said. “But I’m quite sure that we’ll do things that maximize Kellen’s abilitу if need be.”

Once you have identified these, write some brief notes as to why they were so influential and how they fit together in relation to your overall topic.
You may also want to think about what key terminology is paramount to the reader being able to understand your dissertation.
Your introduction must include sub-sections with appropriate headings/subheadings and should highlight some of the key references that you plan to use in the main study.
This demonstrates another reason why writing a dissertation introduction last is beneficial.
While you may have a glossary or list of abbreviations included in your dissertation, your background section offers some opportunity for you to highlight two or three essential terms.
When reading a background section, there are two common mistakes that are most evident in student writing, either too little is written or far too much!You are going to want to begin outlining your background section by identifying crucial pieces of your topic that the reader needs to know from the outset.A good starting point might be to write down a list of the top 5-7 readings/authors that you found most influential (and as demonstrated in your literature review).The research focus does two things: it provides information on the research focus (obviously) and also the rationale for your study.It is essential that you are able to clarify the area(s) you intend to research and you must explain why you have done this research in the first place.In writing the background information, one to two pages is plenty.You need to be able to arrive at your research focus quite quickly and only provide the basic information that allows your reader to appreciate your research in context.One key point to remember is that your research focus must link to the background information that you have provided above.While you might write the sections on different days or even different months, it all has to look like one continuous flow.For example, some students like to add in their research questions in their dissertation introduction so that the reader is not only exposed to the aims and objectives but also has a concrete framework for where the research is headed.Other students might save the research methods until the end of the literature review/beginning of the methodology.

Online social networks (OSNs) have successfully changed the way people interact. Online interactions among people span geographical boundaries and interweave with different human life activities. However, current OSNs identification schemes lack guarantees on quantifying the trustworthiness of online identities of users joining them. Therefore, driven from the need to empower users with an identity validation scheme, we introduce a novel model, cooperative and adaptive decentralized identity validation CADIVa, that allows OSN users to assign trust levels to whomever they interact with. CADIVa exploits association rule mining approach to extract the identity correlations among profile attributes in every individual community in a social network. CADIVa is a fully decentralized and adaptive model that exploits fully decentralized learning and cooperative approaches not only to preserve users privacy, but also to increase the system reliability and to make it resilient to mono-failure. CADIVa follows the ensemble learning paradigm to preserve users privacy and employs gossip protocols to achieve efficient and low-overhead communication. We provide two different implementation scenarios of CADIVa. Results confirm CADIVa’s ability to provide fine-grained community-aware identity validation with average improvement up to 36 and 50 % compared to the semi-centralized or global approaches, respectively.

Efforts to make the FDA finally require mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods appear to be well on their way to becoming a reality. In just over one month, more than 350,000 people have signed on to support the Just Label It – We Have the Right to Know campaign.
The campaign's sponsors filed a legal petition with the FDA last month urging that labeling of all genetically engineered foods be mandatory, stating in a release, "By not informing consumers that they are purchasing GE foods, the public is misled in purchasing misbranded foods."
The California Department of Food and Agriculture estimates that nearly 80 percent of all processed foods contain genetically modified ingredients; 93 percent of soy, 86 percent of corn and 93 percent of cotton and canola planted in the U.S. in 2010 were genetically engineered. The FDA is currently deliberating on whether or not to approve the first genetically modified animal to enter the food supply—AquAdvantage salmon.
From the Organic Authority Files
Supported by close to 400 companies and organizations including the Organic Trade Association, United Natural Foods, Inc, Organic Valley, National Cooperative Grocers Association, Physicians for Social Responsibility and Earthbound Farms, the Just Label It campaign is seeking 500,000 signatures and will hold a conference call on Friday, November 18th to discuss the campaign's next goals.
The FDA approved deregulation of genetically modified foods in 1992 and has since rejected efforts to require labeling despite a growing body of research linking GMOs with significant health and environmental risks. The U.S. is the only developed country to not require labeling of GMOs.

PEEK Properties, Characteristics, And Applications
Product developers and engineers are often overwhelmed by the number of injection molding plastics they must choose from to find just the right material to manufacture with.
There are thousands of plastic variations available, from everyday commodity plastics to high-performance polymers used in very demanding operating environments. At Xcentric, we have more than 40 resins in stock to choose from and take particular care in advising our clients on material selection.
Among the small number of high-performance polymers, the PAEK (PolyArylEtherKetone) family leads the way, and, among these, PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is the most popular.
Here is why: Many high-performance polymers can stand up to one or two requirements, either the ability to withstand extreme temperature or chemical exposure. However, most of these fall below expectations when it comes to other demands, such as wear-resistance or mechanical strength.
PEEK, however, possesses several of these properties: including mechanical strength, wear-resistance, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. It is easily processed and recyclable.
Its other properties include electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and high purity.
And because PEEK can be mass-produced by injection molding without involving the machining of metals and the curing of thermosets, there are fewer processing steps. This results in time and cost advantages.
PEEK often outperforms metal when used in harsh environments. This makes it a popular choice when manufacturing aerospace and automotive components, medical devices, machinery parts, semiconductors, and electrical and electronic machinery.
Examples of PEEK Components:
- Automotive: Engine parts, variable speed transmission parts, steering parts, brake components.
- Office machinery: Copier claws, special heat-resistant bearings, chains, gears.
- Medical device: Endoscope parts and dental cleaners, implants, surgical devices, joint replacement.
- Aerospace: Electrical insulators and isolators, battery connectors, external light housings, gaskets, seals, fittings, brackets, clamps, and thermal acoustic insulation.
This is what our experts at Xcentric think you should know about PEEK to help you decide whether it is the right material for your needs.
Properties of PEEK Plastic
PEEK is a semi-crystalline, opaque material belonging to the PolyKetone family of polymers called PAEK, which comprises aryl, ether, and ketone molecule groups. The aryl and ketone portions of its build-up give PEEK rigidity and stiffness, which means good mechanical performance and a high melting point. The ether group in PEEK lends flexibility (making it tough) and renders it unreactive (providing resistance to chemical exposure).
Let us take a closer look at its properties and how it behaves and influences material selection in various industries:
- High heat resistance. Tests show that PEEK has a high melting point of 341°C, high glass transition temperature of 143°C, and a continuous use temperature of up to 260°C. This has led to its wide use in thermally aggressive environments such as oil and gas, and automotive industries.
- Chemical and corrosion resistance. PEEK is highly resistant to water and many solvents (even when subjected to them in high-temperature and high-pressure steam conditions). Therefore, it can withstand chemically aggressive conditions in the oil and gas industry—in sub-sea pipes, gears, and machinery. It can also stand up against jet fuel, hydraulic fluids, and de-icers in the aerospace industry.
- Wear-resistance. Tests show PEEK is more durable than many other polymers and even some metals. PEEK can withstand high loading at elevated temperatures without permanent deformation, also known as creep. It also has a low friction coefficient, which means less wear, noise, vibration, and emissions. This makes it a great material for use in car parts. Another measure of wear is fatigue resulting from repeated pressure and stress, and PEEK performs exceptionally well here too. It is also lighter than comparable metals, making it popular in the automotive and aerospace industries as it improves a vehicle’s energy efficiency. Its exceptional wear-resistance makes PEEK highly valuable in the production of medical implants as well.
- Biocompatibility. PEEK is not harmful or toxic to living tissue and can perform consistently inside the human body for lengthy periods of time. This characteristic makes it popular for use in medical device parts and implants. However, due to its biologically inert chemical structure, PEEK has poor bonding ability to bone tissue implanted in vivo.
- Tensile strength. When reinforced with carbon fibers, PEEK-based materials can reach a tensile strength of 29000psi at up to 299°C. This makes it a stronger and stiffer option than nylons, acetal (PolyOxyMethylene or POM), polyesters, and polycarbonates.
- Low flammability. PEEK, which has a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, resists combustion up to almost 600°C. It also emits little smoke even when made to burn at extreme temperatures. This is one reason it is commonly used when manufacturing parts for commercial aircraft.
- Good insulation. PEEK has high volume and surface resistivity to maintain good insulation performance even under significant temperature and environmental changes.
- Recyclable. PEEK’s molecules are very stable, so it can be reprocessed multiple times without affecting its properties. This enables manufacturers to reduce waste management costs and meet sustainability goals.
What are the Types of PEEK Plastic?
PEEK comes in five grades based on composition and variances in properties that influence which applications it is best suited for:
- Unfilled PEEK is not reinforced with any other material and is the most basic version of this polymer. It is the most chemically resistant type.
- Carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK has 30% carbon-filled fibers added to it and is the strongest and stiffest type. It is also 7% lighter than glass-reinforced PEEK.
- Glass fiber reinforced PEEK has 30% glass fiber mixed in and is stronger and stiffer than unfilled PEEK. It also provides excellent electrical and thermal insulation.
- Bearing PEEK is filled with 20% PTFE and carbon-reinforced with graphite to lower the friction coefficient, offering improved wear-resistance and higher frictional heat capability.
- Static dissipative, metal detectable and x-ray detectable PEEK, and custom makes. These PEEK types have been created to meet customers’ specific requirements for one or more application capabilities. For example, static dissipative PEEK is designed to be safe for use in atmospheres where non-conductive materials are required.
Special Considerations for PEEK Injection Molding
While PEEK scores many performance points, its use does come with challenges.
- High price. PEEK costs more than standard engineering plastic materials.
- PEEK’s stiffness could mean certain levels of contouring may be difficult or impossible to achieve.
- Depending on its type, PEEK comes attached with some acids such as concentrated sulphuric, nitric, or chromic acid. This makes it less desirable for certain applications.
- PEEK has low resistance to UV light, but this weakness can be countered by adding a carbon additive to the material formulation to provide UV resistance.
Is PEEK the Best Material for Your Needs?
If you are looking for an injection molding material solution that strikes a balance between your performance needs, budget, and environmental and sustainability goals, PEEK will top the shortlist (or come close!)
But is it for you?
While PEEK will enable you to make lighter, stronger, and more chemically resistant parts that will last longer, you need to evaluate how much of a return on your investment this material will get you, considering its additional cost. Talking to a material selection expert from Xcentric will help you decide. We will take you through an efficient design and manufacturing process that will bring even your most complex products to market in weeks.

Another year almost finished, and another winter approaching for retired FP9 6510. Kama River Park has been its home for the past few years, with very little attention or care to this historic specimen. It's a shame to see it in this condition, but it's fate has been decided, and the result unfortunate.

Jesse the Intruder of the Psychotic Turnbuckles
The Kings of The Combat Zone, the Psychotic Turnbuckles, returned to Sydney from Pismo Beach last Saturday night for a one-off Xmas show, presented by the I-94 Bar.
They were joined by Melbourne's Stoneage Hearts and Sydneysiders The Prehistorics in a no-holds-barred tag-team contest at Marrickville's Factory Floor. Shona Ross captured these images as the Turnbuckles triumphed in front of a packed house. Click more to see the images.

Ten bands. One bill. Despite being run (a.) in what is, these days, a notoriously taciturn live music town as Sydney and (b.) in direct competition with some obscure code of football’s grand final, it made sense.
Blood Bank was one of four benefit shows in as many cities to assist Lime Spiders vocalist Mick Blood, rendered unable to work after an altercation a few months ago in a pub in his newly adopted home town of Newcastle. Mick suffered a brain injury and is on the mend but it’s going to be slow progress on a long road.
Pismo Beach rock and roll legends the Psychotic Turnbuckles returned to Sydney's Lansdowne Hotel on June 28 with BRUCE and Bunt in support. It was the first Turnbuckles show at the venue in 25 years. At the last one, Slash from Guns and Roses was in the crowd.
Click READ MORE for a gallery of stills from video footage shot by Luke Nukem on the night.
Life’s tough at the top and Pismo Beach’s finest exponents of rock and roll wrestling, the Psychotic Turnbuckles, can’t just lie around on Southern Californian beaches sipping champagne all year. They’re escaping the Northern Hemisphere summer and heading back to Sydney in June for a brief taste of how the other half lives.
The Mummies need no introduction as one of the loudest stupidest most deranged bands on the planet and have been destroying lives, limbs and guitars worldwide since 1989. They’re visiting Melbourne and Adelaide for one week only - and now Sydney gets its chance.
Thursday, March 10 is the date and the venue is Hermanns Bar at Sydney University.
They’ll be joined by Psychotic Turnbuckles and Los Tones.
Tickets won’t last long and went on sale today here. It will sell out.
Why? These bandaged kooks are possibly one of the most legendary Punk/Garage bands on the planet. The Mummies originated the ‘Budget rock sound’ told SUB POP where to get off and now they will blow you a new hole right between those useless eardrums of yours.
The Mummies define what was to be a world-wide revolution of retardo rock and sloped-head slop that erupted in the late '80s and early ’90s, spawning so many bands you can’t even start to name them all.
You can rope in most of the riot girl movement, Beat Man, King Khan, and any of the hundreds of non corporate punk garage combos that are still wrecking guitars worldwide today.
We're co-presenting a gig in Sydney on June 28, featuring the Psychotic Turnbuckles, BRUCE and Bunt. Your life will be changed if you attend. Jesse the Intruder from the Psychotic Turnbuckles explains that he may not make it in the clip below.

Family sues Shawnee school over response to bullying claim
Couple says principal had family investigated for child abuse
A Kansas City-area couple says their daughter has been bullied so badly that it has caused her to have migraine headaches, and instead of helping, the school principal made it worse.
Mark and Melissa Schroeder are now suing Shawnee’s Sacred Heart School after alleging it had them investigated for child abuse.
The couple said their daughter had splitting headaches eight times over a two-week period last spring as a result of bullying.
The girl reported her situation to the school nurse, giving a note from a doctor at Children’s Mercy Hospital that expressed concern that “some of the bullying at school is causing significant psychological distress.”
In a lawsuit filed in Johnson County last week, the couple said that when they took their concerns to Principal Maureen Engen, she placed a hotline call to the Department for Children and Families, a call the lawsuit characterizes as malicious.
The lawsuit claims the couple didn’t know the call had been made until a state employee showed up at the house to investigate claims of child abuse.
The Roman Catholic Archiocese of Kansas City, Kansas, is named in the suit. It claims the superintendent, principal and a nun told investigators the Schroeders had requested an exorcism for their daughter and asked for, among other things, the anointing of the sick.
The family calls that report false and groundless, alleging defamation, invasion of privacy and five other counts.
“Catholic officials should praise and not persecute brave parents who report hurtful actions against kids,” said Sarah Brown, the attorney for the Schroeder family.
The Schroeders have moved their children to public schools.
The church and principal have been served with the lawsuit, but the archdiocese has not. For that reason, a representative of the archdiocese said it will not comment on the allegations detailed in the suit.

1. The response of arterial smooth muscle to noradrenaline was studied in one-clip hypertensive rats with or without the contralateral/kidney and in normotensive rabbits.
2. Strips of aorta from one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive animals were less responsive to noradrenaline than normotensive control rats. The contractile response of strips from two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive animals was not different from the control group. These results suggest that the mechanisms responsible for the lesser reactivity in the one-kidney hypertensive group are not a consequence of elevated blood pressure itself, but may be related to the intrinsic contractility of aortic smooth muscle.
3. Tonin potentiated the contraction induced by noradrenaline in aortic strips from hypertensive and normotensive rats. However, this effect was more important in the one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive animals. In the aortic and mesenteric strips from normal rabbits, tonin produced not only potentiation to noradrenaline but direct contraction.
4. The potentiation to noradrenaline and the direct effect of tonin were not affected by a variety of antagonists but were blocked by a calcium ion antagonist, verapamil, suggesting that tonin may act directly on vascular smooth muscle through mechanisms which might be mediated by calcium ions.
