Explosion rocks Scotford refinery, no injuries reported
Emergency crews responded to an explosion and fire at Shell’s Scotford refinery in Alberta on Monday, a company spokeswoman said.
According to Reuters, there were no reported injuries.
The Scotford facility houses a 100,000 barrel-per-day refinery and a 255,000 bpd oil sands upgrader.
Local media reported flames and a large plume of black smoke coming from the refinery.
Shell spokeswoman Tara Lemay told Reuters the fire broke out around 8:45 a.m. local time and employees were being moved away from the incident as a safety precaution. Roadblocks have been set up at the entrances to the Scotford site and on roads nearby.
The company has notified the Alberta Energy Regulator, Lemay added. She did not immediately give any details about the impact on production.

Influencer Marketing trends to follow in 2020
Influencer marketing statistics to keep in mind for 2020
As every year, The Influencer Marketing Hub published its study of the Influencer Marketing industry. They survey over 4,000 people from marketing agencies, brands and other industry professionals to assess industry trends for 2020.
This study was carried out at the end of last year/early 2020. While the current pandemic will surely change some of these findings, we found these insights to be very valuable:
- The Influencer Marketing industry is expected to continue the growth trend of around 50% year-over-year, reaching an estimate of $ 9.7 trillion by 2020.
- Influencer Marketing searches on Google continue to grow, showing an increase of 1500% in the last 3 years.
- There’s an evolving approach to measuring “success” in Influencer Marketing campaigns. Compared to past years, the rule for determining whether the campaign was successful is moving towards a focus on conversions, not just on interactions and engagements online.
- After analyzing 100,000+ social network profiles, the study found that the nano and micro creators achieve the most interaction. This is especially true on Instagram, where creators with 5,000 followers or less are the ones with the highest engagement rate.
- Average engagement rate per social network and account size
While the big creators are followed by crowds and their names are recognized, it is the smaller creators who are characterized by having more credibility and recognition of their followers as experts in a subject or interest in the subject of which they speak in their publications.
As the study shows, the relationship between the creator and its audience is considered the most valuable factor for collaborations. We hope you found this information interesting. If you want to include an Influencer Marketing strategy for your brand, contact us, we will be happy to help you.

Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has ordered the cancellation of all official number plates currently in use as a result of gross abuse and directed re-issuance of new official number plates to all government owned vehicles, while retired staff are to forfeit same henceforth.
The governor has also banned all local government officials in the state from controlling or engaging in traffic duties.
Addressing journalists at a press conference in Alausa, Ikeja, the acting Commissioner for Transportation, Prince Anofiu Elegushi, said in recent times, there had been complaints about the role of Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) officials in traffic enforcement.
“Indeed, there are traffic units in all the 57 Local Governments and Local Council Development Areas. However, this is not a responsibility for the third tier of government. We have reported instances of illegal arrest, extortion and general impunity on the part of the local government operatives.
“It is then appropriate to disband all the units and outfits parading as local government traffic units. This has been communicated to all these agencies. For the avoidance of doubt, officials of the ministry will start monitoring and any infraction will be dealt with in full compliance with the law.
“Let me also reiterate that only the Nigerian police, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the Taskforce on Special Offences and the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) can perform traffic duties,” the commissioner said.

Search the best hotels in Lagos
Lagos has it all, from the sunshine the Algarve is known for, to some of the best beaches along this stretch of coast. An atmospheric old town with lovely churches, charming plazas, cobbled streets perfect for strolling, and pleasantly worn 16th Century walls. There are plenty of good restaurants and a lively nightlife, even the newer sections of town have charm. And, it's small enough so that you can pretty much walk anywhere. However, the downside of having everything is that a lot of people fancy visiting. So in season it can be pretty crowded and many of the best places to stay in Lagos get booked up well in advance.
Lagos for Families
If you're travelling with little ones the best beach for you might be Meia Praia. This stretch of sand is a whopping 4kms long, and quite flat. When the tide goes out it leaves little pools in the sand like mini swimming pools for your toddlers. It's also a great choice for family beach games. We'd suggest you make your reservations early though as the best hotels in Lagos for families will inevitably be booked up first.
For a Mini Break
The architecture of the old town is a traditional, colourful blend, and any stroll will take you to photo-worthy spots. One highlight worth seeking out is the Bone Chapel on the side of the Church of St. Sebastian, where skulls and other human bones are set into the walls and ceilings.
The main church also has a bell tower, and if you can manage the four flights of stairs to the top you're rewarded with a wonderful view of lovely Lagos. You'll also want to see the marina and the Governor's Castle, as well as visiting the fish markets.
Some of the Algarve's charms are most easily appreciated from the ocean, and there are plenty of companies offering day boating trips exploring the natural caves and coves around Lagos.
Just around the cliff tops from town is Ponta da Piedade, a scenic spot with a pretty lighthouse, and a good place to start your boat trip.
For a Beach Break
Quiet and secluded, one of Lagos's nicest beaches must be Camilo Beach. Many people are put off by the 240-odd stairs you have to climb down before you hit the sand, but it's well worth it. There are some natural caves in the cliff, so you can head off and enjoy a little adventure.
If you're looking for a beach to sup by, Praia do Porto is worth a look. There are a number of restaurants and bars right up against the long stretch of sand.
If you need some time away from the beach you can spend the day at the zoo, whilst there are also horse riding day trips, a golf course and a little museum.
What Not To Miss
- Head along to Ponta da Piedade and enjoy the wonderful ocean views from the clifftops. Whilst there's no beach per se, you can always head off exploring the area as there are indeed a number of small beaches dotted around. A lovely spot from which to observe the sunset.
- Spend your evening at the Centro Cultural de Lagos, bang smack in the heart of town. Enjoy an evening meal or tipple from the bustling restaurants and bars whilst you watch the numerous street performers including Flamenco dancers, acrobats and musicians. Plus, from time to time there are theatre performances, though these are usually in Portuguese.
- Spend a few hours at the Parque Zoologico de Lagos. You can go swimming with the penguins, chill out with the lemurs inside their enclosure or play with the friendly monkeys. A friendly spot with well looked-after animals, a great option for families.
- Wander around the peaceful Church of St Anthony (Igreja de Santo Antonio) and take in the beautifully ornate interiors, complete with gold-leaf. There's also a museum that's well worth checking out, housing a variety of artefacts spanning from the Bronze Age to more recent eras.
Whether you're here for lazing on the beach or doing something more active, our pick of the best places to stay in Lagos will hit the spot.
Room with a view
- Quinta Bonita is one of the best places to stay in Lagos if you're looking for a romantic spot. Just out of town, this hotel has a rural quiet, and panoramic views which make it easy to imagine you're the only ones on this stretch of coast. Each of the eight suites has an old fashioned glamour, some have four poster beds.
On the beach
- If you want to be right on the beach, one of the best places to stay in Lagos is Vivenda Miranda. Stroll through the sub tropical gardens and you'll find yourself on Porto de Mos beach. Built in the 17th Century, this villa has had a characterful conversion, and the rooms are colourful and unpretentious.
For Country Relaxation
- For serious luxury on the outskirts of town, book Vila Valverde. This stunning property offers contemporary interiors, beautiful grounds, stunning views and fabulous food... what more do you need?
For Romantic Retreats
- If you're going to Lagos on a romantic getaway then Dom Manuel I Charming Residence is the place for you! This adult-only spot boasts cosy accommodation decorated in a classically Portuguese style, whilst it's also only 500 metres from one of the best beaches around. Or, you could simply relax by their pool and enjoy a cocktail.
For a holiday villa or apartment
- Sometimes, you decide you need your own space... so how about a holiday villa or apartment? We recommend the wide range available with our online partner, Booking.com.
- Weather-wise, Lagos is obviously nicest in the summer months, with July and August experiencing an average temperature of 24°C.
- That said, this is peak tourist season (from 21st June-21st September) so expect there to be a fair number of tourists and accommodation to be on the pricier side of things. If you don't fancy the crowds then visiting in spring or autumn's a good bet - when the weather's still perfectly pleasant but there's less hustle and bustle.
- If you're flying from abroad then the nearest option is Faro Airport, located about 90 km east of Lagos.
- Ryanair offer direct flights from Stansted, Bristol, Dublin and Bournemouth. Easyjet goes from Gatwick, Newcastle, Southend, Belfast and Luton, whilst British Airways goes from Gatwick. So there are plenty of options to choose from!
- From Faro Airport, hop on the number 14 or 16 bus towards the city centre which costs €2.25. Once here, you can either take the bus or train to Lagos (taking around two hours), though be warned that the last train departs at 8:20pm. This should cost you €7.30.
- For car hire prices, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars.

text: Long-awaited, thrilling new fiction from Kathleen Winter, whose previous novel Annabel was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller, Governor General's Award, Writers' Trust and Orange prizes, was a Globe and Mail "Best Book" and a New York Times "Notable," and was a #1 bestselling Canada Reads selection. From one of Canada's most exciting writers comes a gripping, compassionate and stunning novel that overturns and rewrites history. Enter the world of Jimmy—a tall, red-haired, homeless thirty-something ex-soldier, battered by PTSD—as he camps out on the streets of modern-day Montreal, trying to remember and reclaim his youth. While his past is something of an enigma, even to himself, the young man bears a striking resemblance to General James Wolfe, "Conqueror of Canada" and "Hero of Quebec," who died on the Plains of Abraham in 1759. As a young soldier in his twenties, the historical James Wolfe (1727-1759) was granted a short and much longed-for leave to travel to Paris to study poetry, music and dance—three of his passions. But in that very year, 1752, the British Empire abandoned the Julian calendar for the Gregorian, and every citizen of England lost eleven days: September 2 was followed by September 14. These lost eleven days happened to occur during the period that Wolfe had been granted for his leave. Despondent and bitter, he never got the chance to explore his artistic bent, and seven short years later, on the anniversary of this foreshortened leave, he died on the Plains of Abraham. Now, James is getting his eleven days back . . . but instead of the salons of 18th century Paris, he's wandering the streets of present-day Montreal and Quebec City, not as "the Hero of Quebec" but as a damaged war veteran wracked with anguish. Much like George Saunders in Lincoln in the Bardo, award-winning author Kathleen Winter takes a brief, intensely personal incident in the life of a famous historical figure, and using her incomparable gifts as a fiction writer, powerfully reimagines him. Here is a wrenching, unforgettable portrait—like none you have ever seen or read—of one of the most well-known figures in Canadian history.

Nutritionists evaluate how popular eating approaches stack up for weight loss and overall contribution to health.
U.S. News and World Report—with help from a panel of nutrition experts—recently assessed and rated 29 trending diets and eating strategies in seven categories, including safety, short- and long-term weight loss potential, and nutritional completeness. Here’s how a few of the most recognizable scored, on a scale of 1 to 5.
DASH: (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension): Aims to lower blood pressure, mainly through reduced-sodium foods. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products but allows some lean meats, fish, beans and nuts.
OVERALL SCORE: 4.1
Mediterranean: Mimics eating habits common in Greece and southern Italy, encouraging plant-based foods such as whole grains, legumes, nuts, and olive and canola oils. It limits meat and seafood to a couple of times a week.
OVERALL SCORE: 3.9
Flexitarian: Suits those who like the idea of vegetarianism but don’t want to swear off meat entirely. Some adherents have two meatless days per week and limit meat and poultry intake to 26 weekly ounces. Others have five meatless days and only 9 ounces of meat each week.
OVERALL SCORE: 3.8
Vegan: Cuts out all animal products, including milk, eggs, honey, cheese and other dairy foods (vegetarianism eliminates only animal flesh). Vegetarianism and veganism have been linked to lower risk for some cancers, but they can leave followers short on protein and other nutrients important for health.
OVERALL SCORE: 3.0
Paleo (or the Caveman Diet): Recommends eating as people did thousands of years ago, which means consuming only forageable fruits, vegetables, wild game and grass-fed meats, and avoiding all grains, dairy products, legumes and refined sugars. Proponents contend that our modern diet is the root of many diseases, including diabetes and heart disease.
OVERALL SCORE : 2.0

Unions Cancel March After Police Beat Professionals
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) _ Police poured into the streets Monday to block a march by doctors, lawyers, engineers and other professionals protesting government interference in union elections. Four people were beaten and one detained.
The demonstrators had planned to gather at the Doctors’ Syndicate in downtown Cairo and then march to Abdeen Palace, a presidential office. They expected 5,000 people to participate.
But police surrounded the headquarters, beating some union members and harassing others. Union leaders canceled the march to avert more violence and used loudspeakers to disperse crowds.
``It’s not our point to clash with police,″ said Anwar Shehata, treasurer of the Doctors’ Syndicate.
More than half of the professional unions are controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest fundamentalist organization. The group sees the proposed law, which would allow the government to oversee union elections, as an attempt to curb its influence.
The government has accused the brotherhood of aiding Islamic radicals fighting to install an Islamic regime, which it denies. The government warned the unions Sunday that it would not allow the march.
Police blocked entry to the building. At least four union members were beaten, including two doctors hit with rifle butts. One was briefly knocked unconscious. He was dragged from the building by police after he fell, and was detained under emergency laws allowing authorities to hold anyone suspected of action against the government.
It was the first clash between police and union members since May 1994, when police fired tear gas and used clubs to break up a march by lawyers protesting the death of a colleague in custody.

More About NEWA
NEWA has over 500 weather stations connected, from New Hampshire to Minnesota to North Carolina. Let your friends and colleagues know about NEWA so they, too, can benefit from the IPM and crop production tools available. Read more on this under NEWA Expansion, below.
Introduction to NEWA
The Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA) delivers weather data from weather stations primarily located on farms through the Internet and automatically calculates and displays weather data summaries, crop production tools, and IPM forecasts. NEWA tools promote precision IPM and crop production.
NEWA was formed in 1995 and continues to evolve with advances in pest and weather forecasting. It is operated at Cornell University by the New York State IPM Program and the Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC). Read more about NEWA's History.
The weather stations are owned by farmers, commodity groups, agricultural industries, private consultants and state land grant universities. RainWise, Inc. is our partner for hardware and software development for the weather stations, see Get a NEWA Weather Station, under the About Weather Stations tab. NEWA also includes the National Weather Service airport locations, with a built-in relative humidity correction factor for agricultural microclimates.
Weather data is radio transmitted from the weather station to the internet and then uploaded into NEWA. Climate data is archived in NEWA and run through quality control routines prior to calculating and displaying weather summaries and forecast tools for precision agriculture.
Degree days (DD) with base temperatures for different crops, insects and plant diseases, including growing degree days (GDD), are calculated and displayed. There are over 20 weather-based IPM forecast tools in NEWA. More tools are added when developed and validated.
In addition, NEWA links to climate, weather and IPM forecast products developed by other groups and researchers (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NRCC, National Weather Service, ipmPIPE, the North American Plant Disease Forecast Center, etc.)
Extension faculty and growers, aware of the benefits of NEWA, want NEWA coverage in their geographic regions. Currently, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Virginia are members of NEWA. NEWA is a partnership of land grant universities and grower associations. A yearly fee of only $1750 from each member state supports anyone in that state connecting to NEWA.
Individual growers can connect to NEWA in non-member states with a yearly fee of just $290. Farms in Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska and Wisconsin have their weather stations connected to NEWA. Contact Dan Olmstead, email@example.com, for more information about joining NEWA.
Benefits to NEWA Weather Station Network Members
NEWA’s IPM & Crop Production Tools (model references)
What farmers say about NEWA
A 2007 survey found that NEWA users in NY can save, on average, $19,500 per year in spray costs and prevent, on average, $264,000 per year in crop loss as a direct result of using NEWA IPM forecast tools.
“The orchard was largely “scab-free” for the first time in several years. The orchard manager depended heavily on NEWA and could see significant differences between the on-site station and the one we had been using.”
“I use the NEWA site almost every day early in the season.”
NEWA Expansion Network participation disclaimer -
Accuracy of the weather data is the responsibility of the owners of the weather station instruments. The Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA) is not responsible for accuracy of the weather data collected by instruments in the network. The pest forecast models are theoretical predictions and forecasts. The theoretical models predicting pest development or disease risk use the weather data collected (or forecasted) from the weather station location. These results should not be substituted for actual observations of plant growth stage, pest presence, and disease occurrence determined through scouting or insect pheromone traps. In no event shall Cornell University or any weather station be liable to any party for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising out of the use of NEWA.

Rejean Neron's Safety Sphere is a protective suit which inflates to a man-sized sphere, completely enveloping the rider in the event of a crash. It inflates in five hundredths of a second, cushioning the rider for any impact (except perhaps those into giant spikes) and consists of a loose fitting coverall suit comprised of two layers of fabric.
Neron explains: "The outer layer is made up of a highly resistant parachute type material. The inner layer is made up of a thin, moderately elastic synthetic material. In a collision situation, the passengers are thrown from the motorcycle, the cord connecting them to the motorcycle seat disconnects, the electrical voltage plummets, and the electronic circuit processor inside the belt buckle housing of each occupant connects the 9 volt battery to an electric igniter in the back housing of their respective suits." This triggers the firing of an explosive canister of propellant called nitrocellulose. Neron is a motorcycling idealist who believes bikes could play a massive role in alleviating congestion in 21st century cities, if only riders' fear of crashing's consequences could be reduced to those of the prang-happy car driver. He's been working on the Safety Sphere for many years, through 'countless' iterations and is now looking for backing to bring the design to production.

The Rolling Stones reignite the 1973 album Goats Head Soup and allow fans to relive the vitality.
History has proven it unwise to jump to conclusions when it comes to albums from The Rolling Stones. At first Sticky Fingers (1971) was something that was fuelled and created by a doper hipness in which the Stones rattled drugs as if they were maracas. Drugs wound up serving a figurative purpose as well as a literal purpose and the album became more and more ambitious after every repetitive listen. Again, at first Exile on Main St. (1972) seemed a terrible, horrific disappointment, with its mirky, mindless mixes and concentration on the trivial. But over time it’s emerged as being a monumental moment in music and a display of poetic vulgarity, the themes of all their albums have grown on me over time but their music had won me over from the get-go.
Goats Head Soup is the complete antithesis of Exile, it’s an incredibly romantic work and even though the album itself was first released in 1973, the deluxe version still has small gems of its own (single ‘Scarlet’ features none other than THE Jimmy Page) and by no means falls short of what they are used to producing. The Stones are not afraid to contradict themselves – it’s a wise move. Instead of piling raunchy singles on top of one another, they’ve decided to make it more approachable by emphasising the ballads which set it apart from every Rolling Stones LP in history.
The three main tracks ‘Angie’, (written about David Bowie’s ex-wife Angie who walked in on Bowie and Jagger in bed together multiple times – a story that Jagger denies) ‘Coming Down Again’ and ‘Winter’ are suffused with melancholy. But out of five of the rocker bluesy songs only one, ‘Star Star’, rains true as being typical Stones sass. It could be the Starfucker that’s in brackets that brings the sass but I like to think the sass comes purely from Keith Richard’s pure raw bluesy head-bopping guitar and the lyrics. Specifically ‘Your trick with fruit was kinda cute, I bet you keep your pussy clean’ that’s shouted and moaned by Jagger. Definitely not one for a family outing, big rip to me, dad was horrified. I’ll never recover. Apart from the change in tone and theme, the title isn’t a million miles away from past titles but I can’t help but feel that Goats Head Soup has a more witchy, bone doctor-esque feel to it, which allows the album to coalesce as one whole thematic piece of work.
This album presents the Stones in an unusual way, they weren’t supposed to be such Debbie Downers on downers which surely turned people off at the time of the original release. And Soup definitely has its missteps: The muddled ‘Can You Hear the Music’ struggles to find out what it wants to be and for a group that usually drools over hooks and groupies, respectively rockers ‘Silver Train’ and aforementioned ‘Star Star’ are stark, anemic and feel particularly licentious.
As I’ve said before in another Stones review, they can do anything they want as a band and I’ll be guaranteed to lap it up. Despite the band reaching 80 years old, they’re still pumping out albums, singles and deluxe albums that reignite the flame of old-fashioned Stones music – something I admire and find astonishing. Recently in an interview, Keith Richards said he doesn’t believe the Stones will retire or stop anytime soon, which is something I was mad psyched to hear. As long as they continue creating records and delivering the tasty sweet guitar goods, I won’t complain.
Goats Head Soup (2020) is available to listen to now via Universal Records. Watch the music video for ‘Scarlet’ below.

As Tal and I settled into our room at Timberline Lodge late this afternoon (check out our view), we challenged each other to put the day in order. It turned out to be nearly an impossible task, without resorting to consulting my notes, the published schedule AND a map. Our going from point A (Portland) to point B (Mount Hood) was an involved process.
Twenty-six in number (23 “scholars,” our group leader and a driver, plus the guide for the day) we left Portland bound for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Though the early morning mist had not burned off and our view of the Columbia from the Portland Women’s Forum Park was limited, the riverside highway itself -- Highway 30, designed by Sam Hill and completed in 1916, is a work of art. By the time we reached the Crown Point Vista House, a very short drive from the Forum Park, there was plenty of river to see, not to mention the Vista House itself, an expensive, ornate, octagon-shaped highway rest stop built in 1918.
Our series of stops -- the ones Tal and I couldn’t get in order and which I’ll not list here -- included Multnomah Falls' spectacular 600+ foot drop, complete with an observation bridge partway up the falls, easily reached by a paved pathway. All the falls along the historic highway are inviting, and I understand that many Portlanders make a point of hiking to all of them.
Our onboard guide was great, especially in that he managed to hold in balance the always competing, oftentimes hostile, interests all vying for primacy in the Columbia River Gorge. He’s employed as a park ranger with the US Army Corps of Engineers based at the Bonneville Dam and is an active member of and volunteer with the Columbia Gorge Ecology Institute. Although he contributed to our discussions through the day, he was in his element during our afternoon stop at the dam, a visit way too short and limited to the fish ladders and the below-water level fish viewing area.

He was produced before a local court which remanded him to judicial custody till August 24, they said.
“Sanjay has been accused by 12 girls of sexual harassment and indecent behaviour on the college premises and other places,” Sudarshan told PTI.
Earlier this month, 12 BSc students of the college complained to state Home Minister Nayini Narsimha Reddy that Sanjay had harassed them and misbehaved with them.
A case was registered against him under relevant sections of the IPC following the complaint, the police said.
Sanjay subsequently went absconding even as he had applied for the anticipatory bail which was later dismissed by the high court.

Auto Club Speedway
If IndyCar visits Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, then the series can bring back the IndyCar Triple Crown and that is reason enough.
NASCAR tried the Labor Day weekend race in California from 2004-2008 with moderate success but some can argue that lack in attendance can be attributed to NASCAR beginning to race at Auto Club Speedway twice in a year.
The drivers were not too pleased with the action on the track but the racing made for a great show for the fans. IndyCar’s main priority is driver and fan safety so the chances of this race landing another date on the calendar so shortly after last year is slim. However, working with the teams and the track to find a solution to the speed problem is not out of the equation.

ALBANY, Ga. — At an informational session Tuesday, the professional affairs committee for Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital went over what officials hope will become the hospital’s new set of medical staff bylaws.
The document, which is more than 100 pages long, is still in the planning stages. At Tuesday’s meeting, attorneys went over some of the changes that have been proposed to the existing set of bylaws, which are nearly five years old.
“Last year, the staff made a proposal that began discussion between the staff and the hospital board,” said Phoebe general counsel Tommy Chambless, when giving background on the bylaw drafting process. “We hope that this document will become the bylaws of the hospital (medical) staff.”
The hospital was also waiting for the Joint Commission to release its standard on medical staff bylaws to be sure Phoebe was in compliance, attorney Dawn Benson said.
Benson went over some of the changes proposed for the new set, which outlines committee responsibility, the conflict resolution process and the fair hearing process, the section that underwent the most comprehensive changes, she said.
The new bylaws are expected to give a methodology for staff to go directly to the board if they have issues with the bylaws, and they also mandate the vice president of the medical staff to attend the hospital’s monthly board meetings to keep the staff informed on its business.
They also allow for medical staff to be involved in the hiring process of a chief medical officer, and, in the fair hearing piece, outline a burden-of-proof system when it comes to taking privileges away from or disciplining a physician for disruptive behavior.
“It’s to ensure that if it reaches a point that it compromises patient care that there will be a credential process involved,” Benson said of the fair hearing system. “Ultimately, the hospital board is responsible for final approval, but this allows us to get there in a more streamlined fashion.”
Per the medical staff’s request, the proposed set also does away with the rule that requires physicians to be on staff at the hospital for two years before serving on a committee.
“They didn’t want to exclude someone who would be a good addition to committees,” Benson said. “It is a matter of allowing new physicians in if they are allowed to serve (on staff).”
Officials also say the new bylaws will bring everything together in one document within a unified format, which is not how the current set is organized.
Officials anticipate some minor changes to the current draft in the coming weeks. The medical staff will be given the opportunity to review the bylaws before they go to the full board for a formal vote, which could take place in November or December.

Changes to energy prices
This winter, it's likely you'll notice your energy bills going up. But it's important to know why this is happening and what you can do to stay on top of increasing costs.
Why are energy prices going up?
Increased global demand has seen the prices of gas increase. This has led some energy supplies to go bust.
As a result, Ofgem, the energy regulator, has increased the energy price cap from 1 October 2021. This means customers have a certain level of protection against the rising energy prices, as energy suppliers will only be able to charge you so much for your energy.
However, bills will go up for lots of households this winter. On average, default tariffs bills are expected to increase by £139 for the year. For those using a prepayment meter, the average increase will be around £153.
There are fewer tariffs on offer than usual, and switching might not save you any money. It's important to seek impartial advice before switching, for example from the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.
What do I do if my energy supplier goes bust?
When an energy supplier goes bust, Ofgem assigns a new supplier to take over your account. You don't need to worry, your gas and electricity supply will continue regardless of what happens to your supplier.
Your new supplier should provide you with information about what is happening with your account. But this process can take a few weeks.
It's worth keeping hold of or downloading copies of your latest energy bills and take photos of your latest meter readings for reference.
Any customers that were in debt with their previous supplier will still have to repay this and any customers who had been in credit with their supplier should receive a refund.
You should seek advice if you're looking to switch because your supplier has gone bust, as there are considerations if your account was in credit, or if you usually receive the Warm Home Discount.
Can I get help paying my energy bills?
If you're finding it hard to keep up with energy payments or you're worried you won't be able to afford the energy you need this winter, you might be entitled to financial support.
Warm Home Discount
If you receive Pension Credit you could be entitled to an extra £140 this winter. If you're eligible, you should automatically receive a letter between October and December.
Winter Fuel Payment
You could be entitled to an extra £100-£300 this winter depending on how old you are, who you live with and any benefits you receive.
If you're over State Pension age - which is currently 66 years old - and receive the State Pension then you should be paid automatically. Payments are usually made between November and December.
Not sure what you're entitled to?
Our handy benefits calculator can help you work out if you're missing out on money you should be getting. It only takes a few minutes to find out.
Can I get support from my energy supplier?
If you're finding it difficult to keep up with energy bills or you owe money to your energy supplier, your supplier has a duty to help.
You can ask your energy supplier for:
- a review of your payments or debt repayments
- payment breaks or reductions
- more time to pay your bills
- access to hardship funds
- Priority Service registration.
If you're over State Pension age or live with a disability or health condition you can be asked to be placed on the Priority Service Register. This gives you access to a range of support, including priority assistance in an emergency, advance notice of planned power cuts and helps with prepayment meter access.
Energy suppliers also provide support through schemes such as the Warm Home Discount and Energy Company Obligation scheme. These provide a range of financial support, debt relief, energy advice, and the installation of energy efficiency improvements which can help lower your bills.
Check with your supplier to see what support you might be entitled to.

Lameness reduces the overall profitability of a dairy operation. The effects of lameness can be subtle and have many levels of severity.
Invariably, lameness is associated with pain, decreased dry matter intake, a loss of body condition, decreased milk production, increased reproductive failure and mastitis, often leading to expensive treatment or even culling. Factors affecting lameness and locomotion include nutrition, the environment, claw trimming and health events resulting in the production of poor quality horn. The identification and management of problem areas in an individual herd can be challenging.
When looking at the housing and management of dairy cows with regard to cow comfort, one has to consider flooring surfaces, the length of time standing, stall comfort and exercise. It is important that walking surfaces provide maximum traction with minimum chances for foot or claw injury. By grooving concrete surfaces, animal traction is improved and the potential for slips and falls is reduced. It is also recommended that soft, wet and manure laden surfaces are avoided, as claws become softer and are more prone to lameness due to penetration by foreign objects. Cows also alter their walking rate and step length, as well as angle, when on wet or slippery floors, which could cause abnormal wear and increased shearing forces on the white line area of the claw.
It is important to note that external stresses to the foot should be minimised during the critical period of calving and in early lactation.
Too much standing caused by the lack of comfortable places to lie or improperly sized milking facilities reportedly increases the incidence of lameness. Sand bedded stalls provide a more comfortable lying surface than sawdust or mattresses, and are also cleaner, cooler and more hygienic, while also improving footing on manure covered concrete. However, sand is not without risk, as it may lead to increased claw wear, resulting in thin soles and therefore it needs to be managed properly. Extended exposure to hard, unforgiving walking surfaces should also be avoided.
Cows and heifers should be adapted to new housing facilities/flooring before parturition, as this is usually a significant change from the dry period/rearing environment. Animals that are not adapted to new conditions are more susceptible to lameness.
There are also physiological changes that occur around calving, where the hypothesis is that the increase in the hormone relaxin (to help with expulsion of the calf) also increases the elasticity of the connective tissue suspending the pedal bone in the claw capsule, which could result in increased sole ulcers and white line lesions around calving.
Dairy managers should pay attention to all areas of cow comfort to minimise the incidence of lameness-causing factors and improve overall claw health to positively affect performance and profitability.
Cows with healthy feet eat, milk and breed better
There is much discussion about the relationship between nutrition and lameness with regard to the level of effective fibre, amount of grain, fermentation rates of grain, forage-to-grain ratios in the dairy cow ration and a subsequent acidosis-laminitis link. It is very evident that certain feeding regimes, diets, metabolic upsets and infectious diseases result in significant and prolonged drops in rumen pH, dramatically increasing the incidence of lameness.
Key factors in the cascade of events are feeding management, moulds/mycotoxins (feed/forage quality), infectious disease and metabolic disorders, environment and genetics. Many of these variables lead to ruminal upsets, resulting in the death of gram negative bacteria and the production of endo-/exotoxins, resulting in a vaso-constriction/dilation response within the claw. This upset in blood and nutrient flow results in the production of a poor quality horn and, if severe enough, the death of laminar horn tissue and acute lameness.
An area of nutrition that is commonly overlooked, is the role of trace minerals in improving claw health, structural integrity and reducing the incidence of lameness.
Zinc improves claw integrity by speeding wound healing, increasing the rate of epithelial tissue repair and maintaining cellular integrity. It is also required for the synthesis and maturation of keratin. In a year-long study conducted at Illinois State University, cows fed complex zinc showed fewer cases of heel cracks, interdigital dermatitis and laminitis.
Copper is necessary for the formation of crosslinks of connective tissue in the claw. Pre-partum transfer of maternal copper to the developing foetus takes place, therefore copper can be at its lowest in late gestation and early lactation, which could reduce the formation of properly developed connective tissue in the claw, resulting in greater elasticity, which will predispose cows to increased lameness in early lactation.
Manganese plays an important role in cartilage and collagen formation, as well as bone growth and thus helps minimise feet problems by maintaining proper leg formation and production of quality horn. Supplementation in late gestation should be considered, as manganese status in the cow is lowest at this time.
Florida research indicates that replacing inorganic forms of zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt with those from Zinpro Performance Minerals, beginning in the dry period and continuing through lactation, reduced the incidence and severity of claw disorders. The overall incidence of claw disease, for example, decreased by 30,8% as early as 75 days postpartum, with a further reduction of
43,5% by 250 days in milk.
Lameness is an issue of extreme importance in every dairy and dairy producers who take an aggressive approach to foot management can attest to the fact that cows with healthy, pain free feet, eat better, milk better and breed better.
Talk to your nutritionist or feed sales representative about the inclusion of Zinpro performance minerals in the diets of your dairy cattle.
Identifying dairy cow lameness
As reported in our previous articles, lameness is a costly disease and reducing its incidence has direct ties to improvements in dairy performance and overall profitability. So how do we identify lame cows?
“The first step in reducing lameness is to determine its incidence and severity on the dairy,” notes Dr Mike Socha, dairy research specialist with Zinpro Performance Minerals, adding: “Many dairy producers today are using locomotion scoring to help find lame cows.”
In this system, cows are scored from 1 to 5, based upon observation of the cow standing and walking, with special emphasis on the cow’s back posture.
The arched back, without the appearance of favouring a limb, has been recognised for some time as an indicator of cows experiencing discomfort in their feet, as cows arch their back to alter weight distribution. In addition, research shows that of the behaviours exhibited by cows with claw lesions, spinal curvature had the highest numerical correlation to the presence of claw lesions.
Cows that score a 2 or higher should be examined by a hoof trimmer. Promptly examining and treating cows that show mild discomfort is important to prevent cows from developing more serious lesions and therefore a reduction in productivity. A poster showing locomotion scores 1 to 5 is a tool every dairyman should have displayed.
Claw lesion identification
In order to determine the best course of action to reduce lameness on the dairy, claw lesions must be accurately identified and recorded. Several systems are used to record claw lesions, ranging from simply recording the cow identification and treatment, to systems in which an extensive list of information, like lesion and location, is recorded. However, the most important point is to have accurate information and to use it to implement a lameness reduction programme.
The International Lameness Committee recently produced a poster showing the most common claw lesions in dairy cattle and how to correctly identify them.
Once lesions have been recorded, data should be analysed to determine what lesions are most prevalent and to determine if there is any seasonality or stage of lactation effect. To help with record interpretation and treatment, lesions should be classified as infectious or non-infectious lesions. The appropriate corrective and preventative actions to reduce lameness will be based upon whether the pain is caused by infectious or non-infectious lesions.
Why is there a need for these posters?
- The knowledge and understanding of the cause, treatment and prevention of lameness has expanded dramatically.
- The posters represent a global consensus for lameness identification – by adopting consistent terminology throughout the world, both the prevalence and economic impact of various lesions will be easier to track and assess.
- Accurately identifying a specific type of lesion is critical for treatment and prevention plans; generic lesion terms are not beneficial. In the past, it was typical for several different types of claw lesions (white line, sole ulcer or sole haemorrhage) to generically be identified as laminitis. In order to accurately identify the cause of the lesion and determine the proper corrective action plan, it is critical to be more specific and consistent.
Who developed the poster?
The dairy claw lesion identification poster was developed through a combined effort of Zinpro Corp and the International
Lameness Committee, a collaboration of researchers, veterinarians, academia and hoof trimming professionals
from around the world.
- Ease of use: a practical, user-friendly visual guide to help accurately identify lame cows/claw lesions; includes photos and common signs.
- Global application: uses a consistent, single-letter abbreviation for each lesion.
- Cross-reference ID: provides the ability to cross reference lesion type with the particular claw zone(s) where each lesion occurs, resulting in more accurate lesion identification. Each particular type of lesion has a limited number of causes, therefore accurate lesion identification helps to increase the understanding behind the lesion’s true cause so that an effective correction plan can be implemented.
- Separate categories: lesions organised into infectious and non-infectious categories. Effective claw lesion management starts by evaluating which category (infectious or non-infectious) is most prevalent on a particular dairy. Corrective action plans must be appropriate for the category of lesion. For example, using a footbath programme to treat and prevent non-infectious lesions will not remedy the problem.
Until now, there has not been an objective, methodical system to assess the many factors that contribute to lameness. With the FirstStepTM lameness assessment and prevention programme, it all changes. The programme was developed in a combined effort of the University of Wisconsin’s lameness expert, Dr Nigel Cook and Zinpro Corporation. FirstStepTM provides the dairy industry’s first ever comprehensive assessment of overall lameness risk factors.
Data is gathered from up to 20 different assessment models, which the programme then uses to help identify factors that increase the risk of cows becoming lame. FirstStepTM also provides a comprehensive resource library for dairy operations, including videos, articles and other visual resource tools. These will help to educate dairy personnel about lameness, its causes and effects, and possible treatment options.
No matter how many different scenarios exist on a dairy operation, FirstStepTM can be tailored to best fit each situation or type of dairy (pasture or confinement based). The prevention of lameness begins with the assessment of contributing factors. The 20 assessors include some of the key factors to identify the cause of lameness: locomotion scoring, hoof trimming, hygiene and foot baths, claw lesion identification, environment, nutrition and cow management.
Once all the data has been captured, FirstStepTM offers recommendations on possible treatments to remedy the situation in a simple, easy to understand, but comprehensive report. Zinpro Corporation and Chemuniqué International, together with industry commitment and education on lameness related issues are providing the first step towards ensuring that the animals in today’s food and fibre industry will provide a positive return on investment for producers into the future.

The New Zealand women's hockey team have been given a wake-up call after losing 3-0 in a practice game against The Netherlands in Amsterdam, less than a week ahead of their opening match at the Champions Trophy in the same country.
The Black Sticks coach Mark Hager says it is a reminder to the team that when you are playing at the top level you have to play hard at all times otherwise goals slip through.
Due to it being a practice game rather than an official Test match, players were rotated continuously throughout the game.
The Netherlands, ranked second in the world, showed urgency and had the ability to move the ball on quickly and create scoring opportunities.
The seventh ranked Black Sticks play their final practice game against Korea at half past midnight on Thursday before the Champions Trophy begins in Amsterdam on Sunday.

THE FEDERAL SUPREMACY AND THE RESERVED RIGHTS
OF THE STATES.
122. The constitutional declaration of the federal supremacy.
122. Section 2 of Article VI of the Constitution
123. The Constitution is the Constitution as origin-
regards all rights and privileges which may properly become subjects of judicial determination. As the three departments of the government of the United States are co-ordinate in authority, and as they are alike bound to obey the Constitution as a paramount rule of action, it follows that each must determine for itself, so far as regards its action in the performance of the duties delegated to it by the Constitution, what the proper construction of that instrument is.
124. The supremacy of any statute of the United States is dependent upon its constitutionality, but an act of Congress will not, on slight implication, or vague conjecture, be judicially determined to be in conflict with the Constitution, for the presumption is always in favour of the constitutionality of a law.? Statutes, which are constitutional in part only, will be upheld by the court so far as they are not in conflict with the Constitution, provided that their constitutional, and their unconstitutional, parts be severable ;3 but when the unconstitutional parts of such a statute are so connected with its general scope, that, should they be stricken out, effect cannot be given to the legislative intent, the other provisions of the statute must fall with them.
125. In the order of supremacy, treaties, duly ratified, are of inferior authority to the Constitution, and to constitutional acts of Congress, but they are of superior authority to state legislation, and where a treaty declares the rights and privileges, which the citizens or subjects of a foreign nation may enjoy in the United States, it, in general, operates by its own force, and does not require the aid of any congressional enactment. While, as respects the rights and obligations of the contracting governments, a treaty is to be regarded as concluded and binding from the date of its signature, yet as respects the effects of the treaty on the rights of citizens of the United States vested before the ratification of the treaty but subsequently to its signature, the treaty is not to be considered as a part of the supreme law of the land until after its ratifications have been exchanged, for the Senate may in process of ratification amend the treaty, and it cannot be known, until it be ratified, what it may command or prohibit. Treaties do not, unless they be in express terms retroactive, affect rights vested, or liabilities incurred, before their ratification.

126. A consideration of the cases which have been cited in the preceding chapters of this book leads to the conclusion that the supremacy of the government of the United States, within its constitutional sphere of action, involves: first, the exercise of judicial power by the government of the United States for the purposes of enforcing the rights created by the Constitution, laws,

and treaties of the United States, of punishing offenses against the laws of that government, and of finally determining the judicial construction of the Constitution, statutes, and treaties of the United States; second, the exemption of all property and agencies of the federal government from state control; and third, the nonexercise by the states of powers clashing with the powers granted by the Constitution to the government of the United States.
1:27. Articles IX and X of the Amendments to the Constitution declare that, “the enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” . powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” If these amendments had never been adopted, the construction of the Constitution as a whole would lead inevitably to the conclusion that, in so far as the states are not controlled by the expressed or implied restrictions contained in the Constitution of the United States, they may severally exercise all the powers of independent governments.
128. The nature and extent of the reserved rights of the states must be determined by a process of reasoning by exclusion, involving a statement of the specific constitutional restraints upon freedom of state action, and a conclusion that any state may, so far as the United States are concerned, rightfully exercise every power of government which is not included within the specific restraints thus enumerated. A consideration of the terms of the Constitution and of the effect of the judgments of the court, which have been cited in the preceding chapters of this book, renders it easy to formulate
Supra, Sec. 3.
a statement of the general nature of the constitutional restraints upon the states. By force of those restraints, a state cannot withdraw from the Union, nor deprive itself of its rights as one of the United States, nor emancipate itself from the constitutional limitations upon freedom of state action ; it cannot have
international relations with foreign states, nor with any other of the United States; it cannot enter into treaties with foreign powers, nor make interstate compacts; it cannot engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay; it cannot grant Jetters of marque and reprisal; it cannot adopt any other than a republican form of state government, nor grant any title of nobility ; it cannot prescribe the conditions of its citizenship, for the birth within the United States of any person subject to their jurisdiction, or the naturalization of any person under the acts of Congress, followed, in either case, by residence within a state makes the person so born or naturalized, and so residing, a citizen of that state ; it cannot, in its regulation of the exercise of the right of suffrage by its citizens, discriminate because of race, colour, or previous condition of servitude ; it cannot, in its action with regard to its own citizens or with regard to temporary denizens within its territory, abridge those privileges or immunities which are common to citizens of the United States, nor deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor deny to any person
1 Section 4 of Article IV of the Constitution requires the United States to "guaranty to every state in this Union a republican form of government.” It rests with Congress to decide what government is the established one in a state, and also to determine upon the means proper to be adopted to fulfil the guaranty of a republican form of government to the states : Luther v. Borden, 7 How. 1, 42. Chase, C. J., pointed out in Texas v. White, 7 Wall. 727, that this constitutional obligation required the United States, after the suppression of the Rebellion, to re-establish the representation in Congress of the states lately in rebellion.

“Talking about the past can have a healing function, but what we find is that talk, literally, is cheap,” Dr Hunter says. “We speak words and they fly away before we’ve faced what it is they convey. This is not the case with the written word. Writers find themselves saying, ‘ I never really thought about it before’ or ‘ I never saw it this way until I started to write it’.
Your readers won’t be interested in reading the whole text of your autobiography if you don’t provide a good impression in the introduction. Convince your audience that your story is unique, original, and is worth their time. If you are going to write about an episode from your childhood, use a feeling of nostalgia to create a tight connection between readers and your own memories. Remember that all people are the same to some extent. We live through similar experiences every day, so you should use these similarities to make your writing attractive for the general public.
An autobiography came from the Greek word autos, which means self, bios, which means life, and graphein, which means to write. In a simple explanation, autobiography is when you learn how to write a life story about yourself. It is a narrative of your story, written in your voice, and seen in your perspective. If we’re talking about a company you should know that stories about company success are becoming more and more important today. To learn more about it go to corporate story biography writing.
If you are just writing for your family, that story might be different than if you were writing your story to be read by the general public. Think about whether or not you want to change people’s names. If your life was a harsh one you may not want to include the real names of the people involved. You may also want to consider whether your life story could be written as fiction. There’s an old adage that “real life is better than fiction.” Maybe your true story could be written in fiction form making it more saleable for mass market.
Writing an autobiography for a high school or a college English class can help you gain a deeper sense of personal identity. An autobiography allows you to tell your story in a way that reveals truths about your values, goals and dreams. Though there's no exact science to writing an autobiography, you should include information about your background, major events that shaped who you are and any core themes in your life. Include specific examples to help readers understand your life history.

The United States will announce North Korea was behind the hack of Sony’s computer system today and will add there was a possible link to China, a US official has said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the conclusion was to be announced by the FBI.
The Chinese link was said to be through collaboration with Chinese actors or by using Chinese servers to mask the origination of the hack, the official said.
The evidence implicating North Korea was reportedly only circumstantial but the country has already admitted it thought the operation was a ‘righteous deed’ – although it denied involvement.
Threats by the hackers of a 9/11 style attack prompted Sony to cancel the release of comedy film ‘The Interview’, which was the initial reason they were targeted.
The movie was criticised by North Korea because its plot involved their leader Kim Jong-un being assassinated.
