Do these photos document masonic handshakes -- called "grips" -- being made by Freemasons? No, that's not true: Scholars and the grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York say these are not masonic grips and neither former President George W. Bush nor former President Barack Obama are Freemasons. The post implies the people in the photographs are Masons and the names mentioned with hashtags are as well, but doesn't say it directly.
There are many different handshakes based the degree a person is. it is forbidden to use the handshake outside of their masonic circles. Masons can't use this hand shake on regular people only with other masons. So when you see 2 people doing this handshake they are masons or locked in with each other.
This is what the post looked like on Facebook at the time of writing:
(Source: Facebook screenshot taken on Thu Feb 10 20:24:41 2022 UTC)
Special handshakes are part of masonic culture, according to history.com: "Freemasons greet one another with a variety of handshakes, all based on one's rank within the organization." Freemasonry is a men-only worldwide society that offers fellowship and mutual aid and includes oaths to uphold a moral discipline, using metaphors from geometry and architecture. Some of its practices are meant to be kept secret among members.
The post included a hashtag list and more than 20 photos, many of them showing celebrities, well-known athletes and political leaders such as Obama and Bush, but experts and Masons say the photos do not show masonic grips.
Rich Schulz, the grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York, wrote in an email to Lead Stories on February 10, 2022:
These all just look like regular handshakes. There is nothing Masonic about any of them. Some of the handshakes are strong; some not; some half-hearted. None of them are Masonic grips.
He added that "clearly Presidents Bush and Obama are NOT Freemasons ... I suspect almost all of those shown in the photos are not as well."
The Grand Lodge in Virginia lists the U.S. presidents that have been Freemasons from George Washington to Gerald Ford.
"There is no central Masonic authority, and Freemasons are governed locally by the order's many customs and rites," according to History.com.
History.com lists office-holders as evidence of Freemasonry's influence in U.S. politics: "at least 15 presidents, five Supreme Court chief justices, and numerous members of Congress have been Masons. Presidents known to be Masons include Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Warren Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, and Gerald Ford. There are an estimated two million Masons in the United States."
This is a closeup of Obama in a handshake from the post.

Lead Stories has reached out to designated representatives of Obama and Bush and will update when they respond.

The High Court in Nairobi has barred the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from recruiting new judges as Chief Justice Martha Koome moved to the Court of Appeal to challenge an order for her to swear in six judges left out by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Justice Anthony Mrima on Friday ordered the commission not to consider, review or interview applicants who had applied to be considered for the position of judges of the High Court and Court of Appeal until a case filed by Katiba Institute is heard and determined.
Justice Mrima said Katiba had convinced him that the recruitment process of judges remains uncertain if the president can reject persons nominated by the commission.
The judge said the court ought to settle if the Executive has any role in the recruitment of judges and if so, to what extent should that arm be involved during the process?
“Public interest demands that the Constitution and the law be respected and upheld. Since the extent of the involvement, if any, of the Executive in the recruitment of judges in Kenya, is yet to be determined, it is in public interest that the nature and certainty of the recruitment process be first ascertained,” ruled Justice Mrima.
Katiba lawyer Julie Soweto argued that it would be improper for the commission to consider recruiting new judges while there were others who were still waiting in line after being rejected by President Kenyatta.
She said JSC and the Chief Justice had violated court orders as she was ordered to swear in the six judges.
“It was then improper and a derogation of duty of the first respondent’s constitutional mandate to commence a subsequent recruitment process,” argued Soweto.
Meanwhile, Justice Koome has filed an appeal challenging an order by three judges to bypass President Kenyatta and swear in the judges he rejected.
In her appeal filed by lawyer Charles Kanjama, the CJ argues that Justices George Dulu, James Wakiaga, and William Musyoka erred by ordering her to take up responsibilities bestowed on the president by the Constitution.
She said her role in the recruitment process ends when the commission recommends to the president to appoint the nominees.
“The learned judges erred in law and fact by failing to consider that the CJ, as the chairperson of the Judicial Service Commission, became functus officio after having recommended to the president the second respondent herein, persons for appointment as judges as per article 172(1) (a) of the Constitution,” argues Kanjama.
According to Koome, the only remedy for the president’s defiance is impeachment and not shifting his responsibility to other arms of the government.
“It is proposed to ask the court of the following orders: A declaration that the appropriate remedy for violation of articles 3(1) and 166(1) (b) of the Constitution is the impeachment of the second respondent or any other order that secures accountability of the second respondent,” he said.
Lawyer Adrian Kamotho had filed the case before the High Court, arguing that the CJ can swear in judges in the event the president declined to do so. According to him, the role of the president is ceremonial, and he cannot choose who to swear in or leave out. He also urged the court to jail the president for defying court orders.
In his reply, the president’s lawyer Waweru Gatonye told the judges he had filed an appeal challenging their decision for him to participate in the cases.
“I am seeking a stay of the present proceedings and that application has been certified urgent. Parties were directed to file submissions, which has been done, and the position is the Court of Appeal could pronounce itself on the matter on the appeal. I urge you, for good order, to adjourn the matter, and because of the prejudice to be suffered by the court finding that he should have been made a party but ordered he should continue,” Gatonye argued.
Six cases have been filed seeking to push the president to appoint the remaining six judicial officers, who included Justices Aggrey Muchelule, Joel Ngugi, George Odunga and Weldon Korir.

Have you ever heard this classic phrase: “The muscles just seem tight, stretch it out and you’ll be fine.”
With best meaning intentions, this is one of those classic ‘go-to’ pieces of advice that people have been handing out for decades. And for good reason, when muscles are working hard they tend to feel tight and sometimes pretty achy and a quick stretch can bring some relief. But if stretching was really all it took to fix an achy back or neck, why are so many people having such chronic issues, wouldn’t the problems be gone with doing that stretch? I’ve written about this previously but one of the issues lies in the context of the advice and what is causing or leading to the achyness and tightness of the muscles in the area.
Well meaning advice might not do you well.
Some of this well meaning advice doesn’t work so great and this is often because the people handing out the advice are usually not trained or well versed in looking deeper into finding a cause. Even your average primary care physician will usually send you a list of stretches and maybe a muscle relaxer or pain reliever to help you push through but if you’re anything like most people who go through this type of system, the issue doesn’t go away. In fact, it often gets worse because when you’re able to push through a signal for your body to stop or slow down and you end up causing more damage.
Muscles are tight because they’re trying to protect you.
So what’s going with the muscles feeling tight? Muscles have numerous roles and functions in the body and one of the main jobs is to stabilize joints to help keep good posture and balance as well as prevent injury to the joints themselves, including the ligaments, tendons, bones, etc. If there is already a pre-existing injury or pain in an area, the surrounding muscles will contract to prevent more injury and pain. And because we still have to move in order to get around, we’ll start to naturally change the way we move, walk, lift, etc… which often perpetuates the symptoms of the tight and achy muscles.
So why not stretch when it’s hurting or feels tight?
We’re certainly not suggesting that you never stretch again, in fact stretching can help bring awareness to the area and can be great to help you develop strength. Actually, the answer lies within the understanding of what’s going inside and why the muscles are contracting in the first place. Now if you just feel like you’re lacking some mobility because you don’t exercise or move much and you have ABSOLUTELY no known previous injury, then getting some general stretching and muscle awareness for ‘movement prep’ is just fine. However, if you’re chronically tight in the neck, shoulder, low back, hips, etc and it’s causing you discomfort, it’s time to look deeper.
Weak muscles are tight muscles, and tight muscles don’t relax well.
Especially when you know you have a previous injury, your muscles will be tight because they’re trying to prevent you from further injury. Given enough time, the muscles of the opposing side will get weaker because they aren’t being used as much (use it or lose it). This is frequently seen with low back tightness that’s usually tight on one side and the opposite side is not only more relaxed but the muscles are smaller and weaker. This often mistakenly appears to be purely a good thing since you can stretch further and experience less pain, however it could also be that those muscles just aren’t working as they should in order to stabilize the joints of the low back. This principle holds true for many different parts of the body as well.
Use stretches to build awareness, strengthen to build resilience.
So if you’ve been struggling with a chronic tight set of muscles and you’ve been stretching them to no avail, learn how to strengthen. The exercises to strengthen don’t always have to be with weights, in fact, you can get tremendous results with bodyweight and no equipment, you just need to put in the effort. If you need help figuring out what exercises to choose, we’re always here to help you find someone that can get you started.

A six-year-old boy by name Rayane has been found after he was reportedly kidnaped from a school in Bafoussam.
The boy is said to have been kidnapped by his uncle in the city.
According to sources, Rayane was kidnaped in Bafoussam and taken to Foumbot in the Noun Division, West Region of Cameroon.
Once in Foumbot, one of the uncle’s friends presented as his accomplice in this case, contacted the mother of the child, indicating that he was in Douala and that they needed the sum of five million for the release of the child.
A complaint was later filed at the judicial police of the West region.
Following the complaint, investigation was immediately opened.
Through the investigations, it was revealed that the child had been transported to Foumban.
Elements of the public security later succeeded to lay their hands on the two men, and were able to recover the child who was later returned to his parents.
Questioned on the reasons for such act, the alleged Kidnapper indicated that he needed money to launch a commercial activity and to him, kidnapping for ransom was the best option.
Both men were arrested and placed behind bars.

FRANKFURT, Oct. 10 - For nearly 60 years, the weekly newsmagazine Der Spiegel has tweaked the powers that be in Germany, with aggressive investigative reporting and a prickly, iconoclastic style that has made it the most feared and influential publication in the country.
These days, though, the juiciest story at Der Spiegel involves the magazine itself. The children of its late founder, Rudolf Augstein, recently lost a power struggle with the German publisher Gruner & Jahr, which has owned a stake in the magazine since the early 1970's and is now assuming a more muscular role, over the objections of the founder's family.
It is in many ways a classic Spiegel story, with harsh accusations, clashing egos, a complex history and what people on both sides describe as a battle for the soul of a proud German institution. At issue is whether Mr. Augstein's children will be left with any influence over the magazine he ran, with charisma and combativeness, from 1947 until his death in 2002 at 79.
"Just because your father was a great figure, you're not entitled to follow in his footsteps," said Jakob Augstein, a 37-year-old freelance journalist who speaks for the four brothers and sisters. "But the Augstein family should still have a role at Spiegel. We no longer know what that role is."
Rudolf Augstein, who was married four times, passed on his quarter-share in the magazine to his children. After his death, Gruner & Jahr, which is controlled by the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann, exercised an option in its contract to increase its stake to 25.5 percent from 25 percent. This diluted the family's stake to less than 25 percent, depriving it of the ability to veto major decisions, like budget choices or the selection of an editor in chief.Continue reading the main story
The remaining 50.5 percent of the shares are held by the magazine's employees -- some 800 journalists, advertising sales representatives and office workers, whose internal squabbles are said to diminish the influence they would be expected to wield, given their majority stake.
Whatever Rudolf Augstein's other virtues, his son Jakob says, he was a haphazard estate planner. Late in his life, he had second thoughts about the ownership contract sought by Gruner & Jahr. Ailing and encouraged by his children, he wrote to the patriarch of Bertelsmann, Reinhard Mohn, asking him not to exercise the option to increase his stake, and was rebuffed.
After Mr. Augstein died, Jakob Augstein and his brother and sisters sought a judgment from German antitrust regulators, arguing that Gruner & Jahr should not be allowed to increase its control because it already owned a rival weekly newsmagazine, Stern. Last month, the regulators said they had no objection.
With the family largely sidelined and the employees inclined to bickering, Mr. Augstein said, Der Spiegel is destined to fall under the sway of Gruner & Jahr, Europe's biggest magazine publisher, with 120 titles, including Brigitte in Germany and Family Circle in the United States.
"If you have a big corporation, " he said, "and behind this big corporation is an even bigger corporation, there is not only a clear and present danger of the corporation taking a bigger role, there is a certainty."
It is not that Gruner & Jahr will dictate what Der Spiegel puts on its cover, Mr. Augstein said. By all accounts, it has kept its hands off. Over time, though, through subtle pressure over money and personnel appointments, the company will be able to chart the newsmagazine's direction.
In particular, he said, Gruner & Jahr might press Der Spiegel to distinguish itself from Stern, since the two compete head to head for advertisers and readers. Each has a circulation of slightly more than a million.
Spiegel, which also produces television programs and has a popular Web site, is solidly profitable. It had record circulation of 1.1 million in 2003, as a result of its skeptical coverage of the Iraq war.
"All this is about identity," Mr. Augstein said. "How are the people of Spiegel going to feel five years from now? They will feel like part of a huge company. Spiegel might lose its singularity."
Gruner & Jahr, which like Der Spiegel is based in Hamburg, denies that it will exert editorial influence over the magazine, or try to differentiate it from Stern. "The aim of Gruner & Jahr is to have decisions which are good for the magazine's future," a spokesman, Kurt Otto, said.
The chief executive of Bertelsmann, Gunter Thielen, said the parent company had an even more distant relationship with Der Spiegel than its publishing division. But Mr. Thielen, speaking briefly at the Frankfurt Book Fair, said Gruner & Jahr would probably play a "slightly bigger role."
The company's muscle was evident in the contract negotiations with Der Spiegel's editor in chief, Stefan Aust. Mr. Aust, who was appointed by Rudolf Augstein in 1994, signed a new five-year contract two weeks ago, despite misgivings on the part of the Augsteins and the employees.
Mr. Aust has good relations with Gruner & Jahr, and the negotiations were carried on largely between him and the company, according to Mr. Augstein. Mr. Augstein said he would have preferred a three-year contract that required Mr. Aust to find and train a successor.
A self-confident former broadcast journalist, Mr. Aust has become a powerful presence at Der Spiegel. He is credited with reviving the magazine in the mid-1990's when it faced a threat from another newsmagazine, Focus. But he acknowledges that his brusque style has made enemies.
"This is not a competition to be loved," Mr. Aust said. "In this job, you have to make difficult decisions."
Despite his television background, he says he has taken Spiegel back to its roots, with lengthy articles and an emphasis on investigative reporting. The magazine hit a nerve last spring when it reported that the president of the German central bank, Ernst Welteke, accepted free rooms in a Berlin hotel from Dresdner Bank -- an ethical lapse for a bank overseer. Der Spiegel published a photo of a grinning Mr. Welteke, clutching a wad of freshly printed euro notes as well as a copy of his hotel receipt. The resulting furor led to his resignation.
Such journalistic scoops seem small next to the epic battles of Mr. Augstein's time. Late in 1962 and early '63, he went to jail for more than 100 days on accusations of treason, stemming from a series of articles about corruption involving the German defense minister. Mr. Augstein was vindicated, and the case, known as the Spiegel Affair, was seen as a seminal blow for press freedom in postwar Germany.
Some experts say the recent changes at Der Spiegel merely reflect the broader changes in the German media. As in the United States, journalism here is a more corporate enterprise. Hans Mathias Kepplinger, a leading journalism scholar, said Rudolf Augstein's muckraking coverage would not fit well in today's more professional, less politically charged business.
The same may hold true for Spiegel's messy ownership structure. Mr. Aust contends that Mr. Augstein, a fervent democrat, would never have wanted to build an old-style family dynasty. "If the Spiegel of 1968 existed today," he said, "everybody would laugh at us."Continue reading the main story

1. What factors should be considered when choosing the material for a PCB board?
Below factors should be considered when we choose the material for PCB:
The material’s Tg value should be greater than the operation temperature;
Low CTE material has good performance of thermal stability;
Good thermal resistance performance: Normally PCBs are required to resist 250℃ for at least 50s.
Good flatness; In consideration of the electrical properties, low loss/high permittivity material is used on high frequency PCB; Polyimide glass fiber substrate used for flexible PCB; Metal core is used when the product has strict requirement of heat dissipation.
2. What’s the merits of O-leading's rIgid-flex PCB?
SHINELINK’s rigid-flex PCB has the characters of both FPC and PCB, so it can be used in some special products. Some part is flexible while the other part rigid, it can help save product’s interior space, reduce product volume and improve performance.
3. How to you make the impedance calculation?
The impedance control system is done using some test coupons, the SI6000 soft and the CITS 500s equipment from POLAR INSTRUMENTS.
The equipment measures the impedance on a representative track configuration coupon of which the client has given us a determinate value and tolerance.

Long regarded as the region’s industrial bastion relegated to the other side of the river, today’s West Sacramento is barreling out of the past.
After decades of planning and false starts, West Sacramento is on the cusp of a massive metropolitan transportation overhaul. Three new bridges, large-scale commercial and residential development along the riverfront and in the central city, a municipal streetcar and an integrated network of bike and pedestrian roadways make up the key components in the new vision for the city.
Binding these disparate yet interconnected projects together is the concept of active transportation, a focus on bicycle and pedestrian accessibility throughout the city.
West Sacramento Planning Commissioner Bernadette Austin, a project manager at Domus Development, says the city’s Bridge District will be home to higher density apartments and office buildings. “If you’re going to have all these people living here, we can’t all be driving everywhere; it’s not possible,” she says.
Almost 15 percent of commuters in Yolo County bike, walk or take public transit to get to work, according to the Sacramento Area Council of Government’s 2013 regional transportation master plan. That figure is expected to rise as higher population densities in the city manifest over the next decade.
Between the Bridge District, Washington and Pioneer Bluff neighborhoods, construction is underway on more than 10,000 units, including low income and market rate apartments as well as for-sale condominiums, scheduled to rise in the next five years.
From the I Street Bridge to the Southport neighborhood, the city is revamping its waterfront, creating an attractive new district on what had been a desolate post-industrial landscape.
“When I first got involved in city government, one of the first conversations we had was around the proverbial, ‘How do you eat an elephant?’ Well, one bite at a time. We were able to make use of a redevelopment agency and help these industrial uses find new homes in West Sacramento.”
Chris Ledesma, councilman, City of West Sacramento
“[The riverfront] is not just the backside of our buildings and the industrial areas,” Austin says. “We’re really trying to activate it as a place where people are living and working and recreating.”
Austin dodges a woman on a bicycle as she walks along the newly widened Tower Bridge Gateway between two major housing developments under construction adjacent to Raley Field. From where Austin stands on West Capitol Avenue near Garden Street, a portion of West Capitol will be closed off to car traffic and become solely pedestrian and bike accessible. Though seemingly small and innocuous, the road closure is symbolic of the city’s attempt to accommodate the pressures of this new concentration of development.
Major infrastructure proposals include the creation of a municipal streetcar line and the construction of three new bridges, two spanning the Sacramento river, and another crossing the deep water channel near the Port of Sacramento to the south.
The proposed streetcar would run from the transit center on West Capitol Avenue across the Tower Bridge into Sacramento’s downtown, with another branch running south along Riverfront Street into Southport.
Austin says the streetcar project has secured more than half of its funding through federal and local financing commitments.
Chris Ledesma, a West Sacramento councilman, says the streetcar matches up perfectly with the concept of active transportation.
“You may be able to come in by car and park on the outskirts or take light rail from wherever to get into the city, but then you need to circulate,” he says. “And a lot of that will be jumping on the streetcar to get you from one point to another and to get you across the river.”
An even more ambitious plan is the construction of the three new bridge projects: A new span just north of the I Street Bridge linking the Sacramento railyards development and West Sacramento’s Washington neighborhood should be completed around 2020; a bridge linking Broadway in Sacramento to West Sac’s 15th Street; and the Michael McGowan Bridge, already under construction at South River Road across the deep water channel
“What you’re seeing is a total transformation of West Sacramento,” Ledesma says, “creating the riverfront that both sides of the river wanted. We’re working on many different fronts, but they’re all connected.”
The old I Street Bridge, built in 1911, will continue to be used by trains on its lower deck, with the top deck converted solely to pedestrian and bike access. To the south, the new bridge at Broadway will link the two cities as people settle into new neighborhoods being developed west of the river.
But why are all of these initiatives and plans coming together seemingly all at once?
“It used to be you could just build forever. There was so much farmland you could just go develop, and now that’s not the case,” Austin says. “We realize what a precious resource land is. We have to use the land we’ve got [and] have more sustainable land use patterns.
“We don’t want to end up like the Bay Area where people work at Google and Apple and live in Stockton. People can’t have a 2-hour commute. It’s not going to work.”
The idea of West Sacramento as a thriving urban and suburban community was what fueled its incorporation as a city in 1987. Since then, there have been numerous obstacles — funding, land ownership, infrastructure — to developing the city as a residential and commercial center.
Aided by grant money and state funding, with 2006’s California Proposition 1C in particular infusing billions across the state for housing and smart-growth infrastructure development, the city was able to relocate many of the industrial interests and reapportion the area for residential and commercial development.
“When I first got involved in city government, one of the first conversations we had was around the proverbial, ‘How do you eat an elephant?’” Ledesma says. “Well, one bite at a time. We were able to make use of a redevelopment agency and help these industrial uses find new homes in West Sacramento.”
Raley Field, which opened in 2000, demonstrated to potential investors that West Sacramento could become an entertainment destination. Now, with the new Kings arena being built just across the river and the development of the Sacramento railyards project underway (with the prospect of a pro soccer stadium on that site), the connected central city is poised to be a thriving trans-river metropolis.
The city’s growth is not solely fueled by high-profile, large-scale projects like those. Smaller ventures are making their home west of the river as well.
Nestled in a parking lot amid mixed-use structures along the aptly named Industrial Boulevard, fast-growing Bike Dog Brewing Co. has made its home.
A.J. Tendick, Bike Dog founder, self-professed beer ambassador and transportation demand manager for the Sacramento Area Council of Governments, says he and his partners feel welcome in West Sacramento and appreciate the room to grow. At the start, Bike Dog intended to brew twice a month, Tendick says. Now they brew two and a half batches per week and have had to purchase additional equipment to keep up with demand.
On a recent Friday night at the brewery, the tiny expanse is packed to capacity with a chattering crowd of bike enthusiasts and people relaxing after work. There’s even a few canines. The smoke from a food truck wafts in through the open warehouse door.
Tendick, a West Sac resident and bicycle enthusiast himself, sees the changes underway in his own backyard. This shift is not only tangible in his business, he says, but throughout the city.
“I ride through the Bridge District on a pretty regular basis, so you really get to see and feel the transformation that’s just starting to happen there,” he says. “You really start to see some noticeable change. It’s a total night and day difference from what it has been in the past.”
West Sacramento’s transportation infrastructure will be a key part of the rapidly growing city. Here’s a look at what’s happening, with a few projects already underway or recently announced.
It’s been a year since Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that created the Active Transportation Program to boost non-motorized transportation across the state, where one in four Californians are obese and more than 3.9 million are diabetic. And as California emerges as a national leader in transportation reform, Yolo County is finding itself at the forefront of the movement.
Construction guru C.C. Myers has, for more than two decades, been California’s go-to guy when roads are ravaged by acts of God (like the ’94 Northridge earthquake) or the toll of time (Folsom’s Lake Natoma Crossing, Interstate 5 in Sacramento, Route 99 in Turlock, the Walnut Creek Interchange, and the list goes on). The New York Times once called him the “Miracle Worker Highway Man.”
Bridge worker Scott Bennett has been tending to the iconic Sacramento structure for 12 years.

Baby zebra born at BR zoo
BATON ROUGE- BREC’s Baton Rouge Zoo announced the birth of a baby zebra.
According to zoo officials, the zebra was born on Friday, May 13 and is now on exhibit with its mother.
The baby whose gender is still unknown, according to zoo officials, is the first zebra born at the zoo since 2012.
The birth comes amid 18 animal deaths that have happened this year at the zoo.
“It’s great to have a new zebra baby again since it’s been several years since we had a successful breeding pair,” Sam Winslow, zoo curator, said.
“The new baby seems to be doing quite well and is nursing regularly,” Winslow said.
Once the foal is born, it stands almost immediately and is capable of eating grass within a week.
They typically live in small family groups consisting of one male, several females and their young. Even when joining other groups, the family members will remain close to each other, according to zoo officials.
Zoo officials say zebras experience a gestation period of about a year.
Recently the zoo has had 18 animal deaths this year, with the most recent being a juvenile tiger.

Radiotherapy is effective in the treatment of cancer but also causes damage to non-cancerous tissue. Pelvic radiotherapy may produce chronic and debilitating bowel symptoms, yet the underlying pathophysiology is still undefined. Most notably, although pelvic radiotherapy causes an acute intestinal inflammation there is no consensus on whether the late-phase pathophysiology contains an inflammatory component or not. To address this knowledge gap, we examined the potential presence of a chronic inflammation in mucosal biopsies from irradiated pelvic cancer survivors. We biopsied 24 cancer survivors two to 20 years after pelvic radiotherapy, and four non-irradiated controls. Using tandem mass tag (TMT) mass spectrometry and mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq), we charted proteomic and transcriptomic profiles of the mucosal tissue previously exposed to a high or a low/no dose of radiation. Changes in the immune cell populations were determined with flow cytometry. The integrity of the protective mucus layers were determined by permeability analysis and 16S rRNA bacterial detection. 942 proteins were differentially expressed in mucosa previously exposed to a high radiation dose compared to a low radiation dose. The data suggested a chronic low-grade inflammation with neutrophil activity, which was confirmed by mRNA-seq and flow cytometry and further supported by findings of a weakened mucus barrier with bacterial infiltration. Our results challenge the idea that pelvic radiotherapy causes an acute intestinal inflammation that either heals or turns fibrotic without progression to chronic inflammation. This provides a rationale for exploring novel strategies to mitigate chronic bowel symptoms in pelvic cancer survivors. This study was supported by the King Gustav V Jubilee Clinic Cancer Foundation (CB), The Adlerbertska Research Foundation (CB), The Swedish Cancer Society (GS), The Swedish State under the ALF agreement (GS and CB), Mary von Sydow's foundation (MA and VP).

Effective from 1 January 2023, HMRC have changed their penalty regime for late VAT return submissions and payment, impacting all VAT registered businesses.
The old regime would place the taxpayer into a surcharge period when they either failed to submit their VAT return on time or their VAT payment was late. During the surcharge period, penalty surcharges could be issued for further defaults.
The new regime for late submissions is a points-based system with penalties only issued when a taxpayer reaches a penalty point threshold.
Penalty points are received every time a taxpayer fails to submit their VAT return on time, and the threshold depends whether the taxpayer submits VAT returns monthly, quarterly or annually.
The table below summarises the penalty point thresholds:
A £200 penalty is issued when the taxpayer reaches their points threshold, and a further £200 penalty is issued for every late submission whilst at the threshold.
Providing the taxpayer is not at their points threshold, penalty points will expire after two years. If they are at their penalties threshold they will also need to complete a period of compliance.
As well as late submission penalties, there are late payment penalties if a payment is more than 15 days late and the taxpayer has not entered into a time to pay arrangement by this time. The penalty is a percentage of what is outstanding and increases with time:
Additionally, late payment interest accrues from the payment due date until the liability is settled in full at the Bank of England base rate plus 2.5%.
The impact of this change is that the VAT penalty system now offers a margin of non-compliance for the taxpayer, instead of immediately placing them into a surcharge period following one instance of being in default. This is beneficial for businesses that wholly submit and pay their VAT returns and liabilities on time, but may occasionally be late.
In HMRC’s view, the introduction of late payment penalties and interest will provide more of an incentive for taxpayers to settle their VAT liabilities as soon as possible.

What is Google Daydream? Everything you need to know
Google has been very smart when it comes to virtual reality. In 2016 Google introduced Daydream, a new virtual reality platform for Android devices that’s built right into Android Nougat. Here’s everything you need to know about Google Daydream.
What is Daydream?
In simple words, Daydream is a new (cool) way to experience games and videos on your phone. It lets you put your phone in a specially made headset and experience a 360-degree immersive environment that allows you to really step into the world. It effectively simplifies access to virtual reality content on Android devices. Daydream Home is a one-stop shop where you can start virtual reality apps or view videos while wearing the headset itself.
Daydream View is the first headset built for the Daydream platform. It’s comfortable and comes with a special controller that lets you move your hand in the real world. You can take this headset with you just about anywhere and enjoy your VR experience. The connection between the phone and the headset is wireless and the headset has an auto-alignment system to give clear view of the display.
What can it do?
No limitations! You can watch movies with Google Play Movies, watch news stories as though you’re standing where the action is with CNN VR, or step into photos you’ve taken on your phone with VR Photos. Google Daydream will runs apps and games downloaded from the Play Store. If games are more your style, you can sit in the cockpit of a ground-skimming hovercraft in PolyRunner VR, fight hordes of totems and monsters in Hunter’s Gate, or throw spells at rival wizards in Wands.
Google’s current list of Daydream apps already includes over 50 titles, with even more planned. Netflix, HBO and Hulu will all have Daydream ready apps in the coming months, plus The New York Times will launch an app too for its VR videos. Like I said, No limitations.
Google Cardboard and Daydream
Google is positioning Cardboard as the nearly-free thing anyone with any kind of phone can use for VR experiences. If you want to get a better experience from a 360-degree video, Google Cardboard is still the go-to experience. It’s fast, inexpensive, and runs on just about everything. Google Daydream is a more complete experience. When you put the headset on, there’s a whole virtual world for you to explore. Unlike, Google Cardboard, Daydream works with devices labelled ‘Daydream ready’, only.
There is an optimal specification list that manufacturers must meet for a smartphone to be labelled Daydream-ready. Although multiple manufacturers could also build their own designs (as long as they meet Google’s standards). Currently, the only phones to support Daydream are the Pixel and Pixel XL, Moto Z, and the ASUS ZenFone AR. The Pixel and Pixel XL were both created by Google and were the first Daydream-ready phones released.
If you want the highest quality games with the most immersive experience then portable VR that isn’t going to break the bank, Daydream is what you want. Currently, Daydream View is available for $79 from the Google Store, as well as Verizon Wireless stores.
