Evelyn is the first person in musical history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist. As one of the most eclectic and innovative musicians on the scene today she is constantly redefining the goals and expectations of percussion, and creating performances of such vitality that they almost constitute a new type of performance. Evelyn gives more than 100 performances a year worldwide, performing with the greatest conductors, orchestras, and artists. For the first ten years of her career virtually every performance she gave was in some way a first. Her diversity of collaborations have included performances with Nana Vasconcelos, Kodo, Bela Fleck, Bjork, Bobby McFerrin, Sting, Emmanuel Ax, Kings Singers, Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Fred Frith.
Evelyn has commissioned 160 new works for solo percussion from many of the world’s most eminent composers. Evelyn also composes and records music for film and television. Her first high quality drama produced a score so original she was nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards (BAFTA’s); the UK equivalent of the Oscars. Out of the 26 solo recordings made so far, Evelyn’s first CD, Bartok’s Sonata for two Pianos and Percussion won her a Grammy in 1988. A further two Grammy nominations followed, one of which she won for a collaboration with Bela Fleck. Evelyn’s twelfth solo CD, Shadow Behind the Iron Sun, was based on a radical improvisational concept and has once again questioned people’s expectations. _
The Evelyn Glennie brand is constantly exploring other areas of creativity; from writing a best selling autobiography, Good Vibrations, to collaborating with the renowned film director Thomas Riedelsheimer on the film Touch the Sound, to presenting two series of her own television programmes (Soundbites) for the BBC, to regularly appearing on television across the world, including The David Letterman Show (USA), Sesame Street (USA), The South Bank Show (UK), presenting and performing on Songs of Praise (UK), Commonwealth Games Festival Concert, This is Your Life (UK), 60 minutes (USA), PBS Profile (USA) and many more.
Evelyn’s activities also include lobbying the Government on political issues. Her consortium with Sir James Galway, Julian Lloyd Webber and the late Michael Caman successfully led to the Government providing ￡332. million towards music education. Other aspects include Evelyn Glennie Jewellery, which is a range of Jewellery designed in conjunction with Ortak and is based on her influences as a solo percussionist. Evelyn is also an international motivational speaker to many diverse corporate companies and events. Evelyn also performs with orchestras on the Great Highland Bagpipes.
Evelyn’s teaching and masterclass activities are much in demand world wide, which allows her to explore the art of teaching and the world of sound therapy as a means of communication.
In 1993 Evelyn was awarded the OBE (Officer of the British Empire). This was extended in 2007 to ‘Dame Commander’ for her services to music, and to date has received 86 international awards to date. Updated May 2010


What a year Five Finger Death Punch have had, to say that it has been turbulent would be an understatement to say the least!
Wanting to put a statement out there, the band have purposefully chosen the video to represent and quell any rumours that might have been spreading to do with front man Ivan Moody. According to guitarist Zoltan Bathory this will also be their most extensive stage set up to date!
Joining the band will be Swedish Gothenburg masters In Flames, who previously performed with Avenged Sevenfold in January and will return once more for yet another spellbinding set. Having released their chart blasting Got Your Six, Five Finger Death Punch are proving that they are here to stay and with a 5 week arena tour, you can bet they’ll be here for a lot longer!
Guitarist Zoltan Bathory States :
“We thought this was the perfect song to address the various rumors circulating out there. Ivan is doing great and the band is firing on all cylinders. Not just isn’t this our “last dance” but as we are gearing up for the European tour, we are kicking it up a notch and building our biggest stage show to date”
Check the video out and make sure you catch them on one of their dates.

Take a look for yourself I have designed the following maps with Unity3d Level Editor.
The work you see here is all done by myself and I am the sole developer behind these maps and my project. Take a look at my Battle Royale Map I have created. My maps are designed with creativity and realistic scenarios. I really believe in the player feeling involved. Players should recognize the level of detail a level designer spends working on their map. Take a close look at the level layouts as well to see how the gameplay will unfold to players. Mapping is something that is crucial to a game, What would a game be without levels and environments? Nothing. Level Designing is something I am strongly passionate about. My work here is very important to me. I hope anyone who sees this will be impressed.

In the last municipal election, Birmingham’s voter turnout was right at 20%. Let’s change that by educating ourselves and spreading the word. This shareable Voter’s Guide should help!
According to CityLab (the go-to hub for information on urban coverage), less than 15% of voters turn out for mayoral elections in major cities.
While Birmingham’s voter turnout numbers are slightly above that, we could do better. CityLab reports, “mayoral elections in the U.S. are also barely representative of the population.”
The national median voting age in recent mayoral elections was 57, and that represents a huge gap between Baby Boomers who vote and millennials who don’t.
The solution? Spreading the word across the Magic City. That’s why we’ve created the Bham Now Voter’s Guide.
It’s informative, it’s shareable and it’s a way to encourage Birmingham to be the change when it comes to local elections.
Read on for all you need to know about the upcoming city elections. They are a month away!
We have two election days in August. The city’s municipal elections are being held on August 22, with a run-off on October 3, if that’s necessary. On August 15, Alabamians will be voting for a U.S. Senator.
There are nine Republicans and seven Democrats running in the Senate primary on August 15. A runoff election is scheduled on September 26. Stay tuned for Alabama Senate coverage from Bham Now. I’ll give you all the deets in an upcoming post.
City Council and Mayoral Candidates
This updated post lists all of the Birmingham City Council and mayoral candidates with links to their campaign social media pages or websites (if they have one), along with links to all the candidates we’ve interviewed.
This post features all of the Birmingham Board of Education candidates.
Here’s the Bham Now post featuring the U.S. Senate candidates running in the special election primary on August 15.
Dates To Know
August 8 is the last day you can register to vote in the city, and July 31 was the last day you can register to vote in the Alabama Senate race.
Follow this link to register online in the state of Alabama. You must be a U.S. citizen and living in the state. You can also print out an application or have one mailed to you. Follow this link to find out how to do that.
The deadline for requesting an absentee ballot or for voting as an absentee in person for the Birmingham municipal election is August 17. Download an absentee ballot for the city here. Need to know if you qualify as an absentee voter? Check out this link.
For the state Senate races an absentee ballot that is returned by mail must be postmarked no later than the day prior to the election (August 14). For information on eligibility, visit this link.
The most accurate way to find your address and district is via this link to the City of Birmingham’s online mapping website. You can read the quick tutorial, but it’s not too difficult to navigate.
- Read the disclaimer and launch the map.
- On the right-hand side of the web page, you will see an option for Map Layers. Click on the folder labeled Political Boundaries. Check the box labeled City Council Districts.
- At the top of the web page, you will see an option labeled Find. Use the arrow to click on Address.
- Enter your address and zip code. Use “S” for South, etc. Hit Search For Address.
- Your address will show up on the map in your district.
There is another district-finding tool online, but it is not updated to reflect changes in district boundaries that occurred after the last census. My recommendation is not to use it.
For the Birmingham municipal elections, here is the most recent list of polling places categorized by district. To find out where to vote in the state Senate race, follow this link and enter your address or voter information.
Meet Your Candidates
Check out the I Believe In Birmingham Facebook page for links to upcoming debates with city council and school board candidates. Here is the link to their events page. WBHM is also hosting a mayoral debate on August 10 at the Harbert Center. Here’s the link to that event.

How can you tell if a sheeps leg is still broken or healed after splinting it?
It's not up to you. The vet knows.
The most important thing about a broken leg is to prevent the condition from worsening. This can be managed by keeping it still and avoiding movement. Splinting is one of the most effective way to prevent the bone from breaking any further. After this, the patient must be transported to hospital preferably via ambulance. The Emergency Department will then assess the injuries and perform the appropriate surgical procedure.
How long does it take for a broken arm to heal it has been 2 months and still hurts every now and again?
The flap formed when LASIK surgery is performed is never fully healed. It will get to about 99-99.5% healed, but the flap is still able to be lifted even after 8-10 years. Some people will tell you that it is fully healed after 1 year, and at that point it pretty much is healed, but the flap will never contribute to the structural rigidity of the eye again.
Will a healed broken bone still grow in terms of height or length I'm referring to a child whose height can still grow.?
Usually. There are cases where the bone will not grow properly because of the location of the fracture - in the growth plate of the bone. Usually a doctor who treats the child will notice this and watch carefully for normal growth after the injury. There are ways to get the bone to grow, but they are not simple solutions and you should discuss them with your doctor.
There is no cherry and nothing pops - a woman may have a hymen, this is tissue that surrounds the vaginal opening but as it doesn't cover much of the vaginal opening and is flexible to allow penetration it will only tear if penetration is forced or rough. If the hymen is torn it also doesn't always bleed, bleeding is more commonly a result of vaginal tearing. If penetrating a woman when she is not…
it means that, that someone still cares about you, like that someone still wants to be close to you, though they do not feel what they felt before. he/she still wants to be friends with you after you guys have broken up. He/She still cares about you and you want that person to still be your friend even thought you guys have broken up, true friends cares about each other no matter how many awkward…

Xiaomi has no limits, both manufactures mobiles, vacuum cleaners or WiFi repeaters, and always manages to have a quality price that scares the competition.
On the subject of vacuum cleaners, the G9 attracted a lot of attention months ago, but the stock ran out in a very short time. Now the brand announces its return.
We are talking about a vacuum cleaner, available at this link, with several points that are worth highlighting:
- Simple battery replacement, doubled runtime
- V-shaped brush, no hair tangles
- Large rollers for less effort
- High speed 4,100,000 rpm / min brushless motor and 1200 AW high suction power
- Multiple cone cyclonic separation system
- 0.6 L dust container, flush with one button
- 5-level filters, washable filter elements.
- Large capacity batteries (7 x 2500 mAh), 60 minute battery runtime
- Wall charging stand that charges two batteries at the same time
- Several brushes for varied scenarios.
The battery can be easily replaced to double the operating time.
Vacuums are known to consume a lot of electricity, which can affect efficiency, as many people have to stop and recharge in the middle of cleaning. To fix it, G9 is equipped with a 7 * 2500 mAh battery that guarantees a 60 minute operating time. Most surprisingly, the battery is easy to replace, greatly extending the service life of the vacuum cleaner. Just an extra battery can double the run time without recharging problems, especially when cleaning large areas, like the entire apartment.
Common vacuums often have hair tangled in the rotating brush and a blocked suction port. What can you do besides removing it with your hands? The G9 rotating brush adopts a V-shaped design to enlarge the diameter of tangled hair and reduce tangled twists for easy hair removal. The hairs can be easily cleaned with a comb to avoid tangles effectively.
The main brush is equipped with large rollers so that the vacuum cleaner moves easily, even on carpets.
In built-in vacuums, the motor, dust container, and battery come together in the same area, which is difficult for people with less arm strength to operate. To avoid this, there are two large rollers equipped on the main brush to effectively reduce resistance against the ground and improve balance. That is why the G9 can easily walk on carpets.
Multi-cone cyclonic separation system, five-level filtration, powerful suction and dust absorption
Efficiently separates dust and air to prevent airway blockage, with multi-level filtration to prevent fine dust from contaminating the air
Through the rotation of the motor, the vacuum cleaner generates high-speed rotating wind and centrifugal force to separate the dust into the corresponding container. While the single cone cyclone filter system cannot absorb and separate ultrafine dust, common vacuums are sure to cause secondary air pollution. G9 integrates a multi-cone cyclonic separation system with five-level filtration. It quickly moistens the large particles to the bottom of the dust container, separates the dust and gas and, through the filter levels, absorbs the 0.3um fine dust with an efficiency of 99.97%.
Release and clean the powder cup with a button
Features an extra-large 0.6L dust bin, removable for unloading and cleaning.
The last thing we want to do while vacuuming is unloading the dustpan. The cups of some vacuum cleaners are not removable or they spill dust all over the place or, worse still, on the hands and face. The G9 powder cup can be released and discharged with one button. The removable cup essentially frees us from the annoying discharge, cleaning and drying.
In addition, G9 is also equipped with 100,000rpm / min high speed brushless motor, which provides 1200AW high suction power that can easily remove expensive dust. It has three modes to switch freely for different needs. It is also equipped with a wall charging rack that can charge two batteries at the same time, allowing the entire apartment to be cleaned. Provides a variety of brushes for different scenarios. And the filter elements can be washed with water to avoid secondary air pollution.

New details are emerging about Janet Jackson's split from Wissam Al Mana.
E! News confirmed in April 2017 that the couple had called it quits, just three months after they welcomed their first child together. Jackson gave birth to a baby boy named Eissa Al Mana on Jan. 3. Now we're getting new information as to why the couple's five-year marriage came to an end.
"Janet and Wissam don't see eye to eye on many things," a source tells E! News exclusively. "One of the many divorcing factors was their religious beliefs. Wissam and Janet did not feel that they were on the same page when it came to this and the way they wanted their child to get raised. Janet is more of a free spirit than Wissam. Cultural difference and backgrounds played a major role."
The insider continues, "Wissam is a very strong minded individual and can come across being hard headed and judgmental at times. Janet started not to feel comfortable around her husband. While she was pregnant Wissam caused stress on Janet and it affected her stress level. They knew it was over before the baby was even born. Janet wanted to make it work but it could not be saved. She didn't tell many people about this toxic relationship till after. Her family was never a big fan of her husband. She lost confidence in herself along the way."
But now Jackson has resumed her tour and she's focusing on a new journey.
"Janet feels like she has broken free from her old life and is slowly starting over," the source explains. "Her baby has brought so many new beginnings and life back in Janet. She wants to connect with her fans again and make her concerts something that her fans will remember and love. Janet's confidence is back."
And even though things didn't work with Wissam, it sounds like she doesn't regret the time they shared, because it brought them Eissa.
"Janet is a very shy women and hates confrontation and avoids it at all cost," the insider says. "She doesn't regret her passed life because Wissam and her had a strong love at a time and made a healthy baby."
After some time has passed and when she's ready, Jackson might start dating again.
The source reveals, "She wants to learn from that relationship and when she is ready and completely finds her voice again spiritually and mentally then start dating. Janet is in no rush. She is in a really happy, happy place surrounded by people that love her."
This comes on the heels of Jackson's brother, Steven Randall "Randy" Jackson, telling People magazine that his sister was "verbally abused" during her marriage to Wissam.
Jackson's brother describes the atmosphere of her relationship with Wissam towards the end, saying, "It was quite an abusive situation. It came on later in the relationship, verbal abuse and being [made to feel like] a prisoner in her own home. No pregnant woman needs to go through being called a bitch everyday. There were things like that. That's what she went through."
Jackson and Wissam are currently in the process of divorcing.

Same thing happened to my Rotala Colorata. First few days, it was growing great. Red leaves and everything. Then my tank had a bit of green water attack it. That along with some surface film, the light was just being reduced way too much, and the leaves went back to a green color and looked a bit stunted.
I've found that high light + the right amount of co2 really helps.

After an extensive conversation about the GOP ads hitting Democrats for crime, Joe Scarborough brought up the thing I keep screaming at my teevee in a conversation with Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney:
“I’m just wondering about a disconnect,” he said.
“Why, when we talk about crime, is there so much of a disconnect for voters when — when the violent crime that’s being committed, so much of it has to do with guns. Yet you had Marco (Rubio) the other night, his answer was ‘Oh, nothing will help. We can’t do anything. Whatever laws we pass won’t be able to stop this.’
“Forget the fact that, like, he’s against stopping 18-year-old crackpots from going in on their birthday, getting guns and then having more firepower than an entire police force. Forget that fact. Why is there this disconnect between voters when there’s a real connection between guns on the street and most Republicans’ absolute refusal to do anything that would keep guns out of the hands of bad guys?”
“That’s exactly right. I think we have to put gun violence at the center of this debate. We have a plan to reduce the gun violence that the other side is in the pocket of the NRA. That’s right. If we’re going to talk about crime, maybe we ought to talk about the crimes committed by their former president down at Mar-a-Lago and elsewhere,” the DCCC leader said.
“When they use crime, they use it as a pretext to talk about race. In my own district, the NAACP and community leaders are up in arms this morning because the big outside dark money groups are sending around flyers that are only African Americans pictured committing crimes. So we know what they’re doing. This isn’t just a debate about crime. This is an avenue into an ugly conversation where they’re trying to use race to divide Americans.”
Same as it ever was. Sitting here wondering why Dems aren’t hitting back, but had an epiphany as I watched the new Oz ad. He’s sitting there, talking about how much he cares about people (“Because I’m a doctor! I care!”) and how extreme the other side is so extreme and only cares about extreme issues.
And then I saw a new Fetterman ad, which showed John Fetterman with his family, talking about how much he cares about YOUR family. That’s when it hit me: The internal polls must be showing that the race will be won with independents. You know, those touchy-feely “why can’t we all work together?” independents.
I hope it works.

The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has disclosed his intention to lodge a formal complaint with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to investigate the Power Purchasing Agreement signed between the erstwhile NDC government and Ghana Power Generation Company (GPGC).
According to him, a report by a committee constituted in September 2016 revealed that the agreement was not properly made resulting in excessive power supply.
Speaking on Top Story, Mr Dame blamed the signatories to the agreement for the $170 million judgement debt that the government of Ghana has been instructed to pay to GPGC, by a Commercial Court in London, for unlawful termination of contract.
He said, “the fact as borne out by the PPA committee’s report was that the agreement, together with other agreements, had resulted in such excessive power supply to the state. The state was going to lose $586m per annum and a cumulative cost of about $7.6billion dollars between 2013 and 2018.”
“So I think that when it comes to financial loss, it is so clear in my mind that the responsibility lies clearly with those who entered into the agreement. The basic point is that the entry into this transaction was unnecessary. The entry into this transaction was what resulted in financial loss to the state.”
He stated that he is putting some documents together to request for a formal enquiry into the conduct of the public officers who handled the agreement.
“I, on account of all of this, am going to write a formal complaint requesting an enquiry by the CID into the conduct of the public officers who acted in the manner which resulted in the signing of an agreement which resulted in financial loss to the state.”
“I think that first and foremost the entry into the agreement itself was wrong. There was no justification, because their own committee determined that the agreement was going to result in excessive power.”
His comment comes after a London-based United Nations Commission on International Trade Law tribunal issued its final award, ordering the government of Ghana to pay a contractually defined “early termination payment” of more than US$134.3 million plus interest and costs.
The agreement between the government and GPGC, an independent power producer, was terminated in 2018.
According to Godfred Dame, a report presented by a committee constituted in September 2016 advised on the abrogation of the contract.
“The committee set up by the NDC in 2016 – against the background of a recognition that there were so many PPAs entered into by the NDC administration, and therefore those agreements were going to result in excessive capacity development, as it was termed – came to a conclusion that this agreement had to be terminated. The committee singled out this particular agreement for termination.”
But, Ranking Member on Parliament’s Energy Committee, John Jinapor, believes the former Minister of Energy who served during President Akufo-Addo’s first term should be blamed for causing the $170million to loss the state.
“The government didn’t take the matter seriously. First of all, I hold the view that it was wrong to have terminated the agreement the way and manner in which this government went about it.”
“Clearly we could have saved more than US$150 million if this government had listened to good counsel. But the Minister decided that he would cancel it unilaterally and today, the state of Ghana is asked to pay about US$170 million. That is a whopping amount and it is a colossal amount.” he said.
In February 2015, the GPGC entered into negotiations with the Government of Ghana for the provision of a fast-track power generation solution.
This was to see the relocation of the GPGC Equipment from Italy to Ghana, to alleviate the effects of Ghana’s then-ongoing power shortage crisis. In June 2015, Government and GPGC signed the power agreement.
In April 2017, a committee set up by the Ministry of Energy at the direction of the Office of the President issued a final draft report. The committee set forth for consideration the option of termination of the agreement at an estimated cost of US$ 18 million rather than the payment of an excess capacity charge of US$ 24.9 million per annum over the contract period of 4 years.
In its Summary of Proposed Modification to PPAs of Committed Projects, the Committee noted that the GPGC Project was an:
“Emergency Plant with a 5-year PPA used plant (not new) and high tariff. Major equipment has arrived at the Tema port awaiting tax exemption to clear.”
The report noted that based on the 2018-2020 demand-supply capacity balance and the tariff rank of this project, the full capacity of this project will be excess and result in an estimated total cost of USD 115.48 Million within the duration of the PPA. It, therefore, recommended that the actual development cost of the project to date should be verified and used as a guide in negotiations for termination.
In August 2017, Attorney General Gloria Akuffo issued an opinion on the agreement in response to a cabinet directive. She noted
“… It has become necessary to review the implementation of the PPAs, because should all of them be implemented as originally scheduled, it would result in the production of excess energy with its attendant cost which would worsen the financial situation of the power sector. A review would therefore help to cut back on losses that would be incurred.”
The Attorney-General noted, too, that the GPGC Project would result in costs of US$ 115,480,000, if implemented, with its attendant high tariff. On the basis of her understanding of the position, the Attorney-General considered that GPGC’s failure to obtain a licence from the Energy Commission left it with no capacity to enter into a PPA.

Optimising photosynthesis : a new asset for plant production
Photosynthesis is the biochemical process through which plant fix Carbon from atmospheric CO2 using energy from light. It produces plant sugars, essential for physiological processes (cellular energy, osmoregulation, etc ). Optimum plant production is therefore connected to the optimisation of plant photosynthesis, which is directly dependent on light, temperature and CO2 conditions. Those three parameters interact with each other making it difficult for growers to reason environmental conditions such as CO2 enrichment, which can be costly for growers and injurious for the environment.
QPAR : measuring photosynthesis with regard to environmental conditions
The QPAR - Quantification of Photosyntheticaly Active Radiation measures specific wavelengths affecting plant photosynthesis efficiency, and estimates potential photosynthesis, taking into account the various effects of light, CO2 and temperature. Producers can therefore measure the effects of environmental conditions directly on plant production, and optimize them accordingly.
A product that differs fom classical light measurement devices
Our product difers from classical Luxmeters for two main reasons :
The instrument uses a PAR sensor that measures photosynthetically active wavelengths, between 400 and 750nm while Luxmeters only measure the spectrum visible for the human eye, between 500 and 680nm (see graph below).
The measuring device integrates a photosynthesis model developed specificaly by Phymea® systems. The model is based on scientific knowledge and laboratory measurements of the photosynthesis responses to light, temperature and CO2. This model allows the simulation of plant potential photosynthesis in optimal hydric and nutritive conditions.

Thomas William Drumm was an Irish-born prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.
Drumm, Thomas W. was born on July 12, 1871 in Fore, Ireland. Son of Thomas and Mary (Cullen) Drumm.
He completed his theological studies at the Grand Seminary of Montreal in Quebec, Canada, where he was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Paul Bruchési on December 21, 1901.
He served as Bishop of Des Moines from 1919 until his death in 1933. He came to the United States in 1888, and began his studies at St. Joseph's College in Dubuque, Iowa. He then furthered his studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He labored in the diocesan missions of Dubuque, and became pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Cedar Rapids in 1915.
On March 28, 1919, Drumm was appointed the second Bishop of Des Moines by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration on the following May 21 from Archbishop John Joseph Keane, with Bishops James J. Davis and Edmond Heelan serving as co-consecrators. In 1924 he became the first Catholic bishop to preach regularly on the radio, offering monthly broadcasts on WHO. He remained as bishop until his death at age 62.

Twenty-five years ago, every time a business closed in the Twin-cities a new Vietnamese restaurant opened in its place. Most of them have faded away. Of the ones that remain, the food quality has deteriorated, but not so with Vina. The food at Vina is excellent, the best in the Twin-cities as far as I'm concerned. The dinning room isn't fancy, but it is more comfortable and pleasant than many small ethnic restaurants. We eat there several times a month and especially like the egg roles, the shrimp fried rice, and the fried tofu.

I play around with my own lunches because I can’t eat the same thing day to day or week to week. This past week, I bought One Mighty Mill tortillas.
They’re thicker than what I’m used to, so one goes a long way. I’ve been using them as a vessel to hold Havarti cheese, tomatoes, pickles, stone-ground mustard, and deli roasted turkey. It’s been a great, filling lunch! (I’ve tried to pair it with a piece of fruit but am so full, I’ve yet to finish a whole pear with this.)
This wrap is 417 calories and has 22g protein, 30g carbs, 3g fiber, and 24g fat and includes 2oz of Havarti, 3oz of turkey, 4 grape tomatoes, and 2 mini pickles, plus an unmeasured teaspoon of the mustard.
Next, to try with these wraps are mini pizzas with Rao’s pizza sauce, roasted red peppers, artichokes, Wellshire Farms pepperoni, and some crumbled goat cheese. I can’t wait!


LETTER: Readington needs a grip on its debt
Readington Township politics have been taking up a lot of space in the editorial pages of local papers recently. In fact it’s been continuous since the long-time incumbents, Julia Allen and Frank Gatti, were defeated in a heated primary election. Perhaps the reason for all the buzz is a reassessment of our goals as taxpayers and reflecting the progress we have made.
The big political issue 20 years ago was a real need to slow growth and prevent poorly planned development from engulfing our town and we were wise to resist that problem and protect our rural lifestyle. We can be thankful for the efforts of many, and particularly Julia Allen, for accomplishing much of the land preservation in Readington. We now have thousands of acres protected as open space.
But the problem is, as with many well-intended government programs, whether they be local, state or even federal, they can sometimes gradually evolve into something which is far more than originally intended. Elected people who start out doing good things for the community can lose sight of the original goal and descend into an “ends justifies the means” mode that ushers in a new set of problems including a complete disregard of thoughtful criticism and the rights of others. This appears to be the case in Readington.
What was once a sound policy to benefit our community has morphed into an abuse of the eminent domain law by taking private property, in the name of open space and to control a family business that’s doing nothing illegal or inappropriate. Fortunately, a Superior Court judge swiftly curtailed that governmental overreach and strangely, Readington officials now insist they never wanted to take over the entire property, but the ordinance they passed to do just that last November, remains part of the public record.
Sadly, these officials who started out doing good deeds, got lost in their own sauce and ran off the rails, appropriating millions of tax dollars that could have been put to better use, on a self-righteous mission to seize private property. Now, after painting themselves into a legal corner, and losing a primary election, committee members Allen and Gatti are trying desperately to regain control and save face with residents so that they can continue to fund their legal battle no matter what the cost. What else can they do, except perhaps admit their mistake, which seems unlikely?
I believe we are entering a period of realignment in Readington and while we can acknowledge our past accomplishments, we must also recognize our mistakes, even if they started out with good intentions. It is time that we put our financial house in order, by reducing our capital debt, which is the highest of 26 municipalities in Hunterdon County. We can no longer afford to throw good money after bad.

[JURIST] A Brazilian federal judge in Para on Friday agreed to conduct the first trial against members of its former dictatorship for alleged crimes during the military’s rule from 1964-1985. The defendants [AP report] are two retired army reserve members, Colonel Sebastiao de Moura and Major Licio Maciel, accused of kidnappings during suppression of the Araguaia guerilla movement between 1972 and 1975. The judge agreed with prosecutors that Brazil’s 1979 amnesty law [GLIN summary], which provides amnesty for members of the government and military who allegedly committed political crimes between 1961 and 1975, does not apply because bodies of the alleged kidnapping victims were never found, so the cases are still open.
In June the Brazilian government issued an official apology [JURIST report] to more than 120 former political prisoners of the military regime. In May a freedom of information law took effect in the country to increase government transparency on the same day that President Dilma Rousseff swore in a truth commission [JURIST reports] to investigate war crimes during the military regime’s era. Rights groups, including Amnesty International [advocacy website] have encouraged the country to revoke the amnesty law [JURIST report], and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights [official website, in Spanish] found it to be invalid [JURIST report] in 2010. This, however, was after the Brazil Supreme Court ruled to reject a motion [NYT report] by the Brazilian Bar Association to modify the law to allow trial for officials accused of human rights abuses, stating that the law should not be modified by the court because it was originally passed by the whole country.

Same-sex couples who were married by a Presbyterian minister during the brief period that gay marriage was legal in California are set to testify this week in her church trial.
The Rev. Jane Spahr is accused of violating church law when she officiated at the weddings in 2008.
In opening statements Tuesday, prosecutor JoAn Blackstone told a six-member church commission that Spahr knowingly crossed the line into misconduct. She said the Presbyterian Church (USA) clearly states that pastors can bless same-sex unions as long as they do not call them marriages.
But defense lawyer Scott Clark says Spahr did not do anything wrong because the ceremonies she performed were legal marriages.
The trial is expected to continue through Thursday. Spahr also plans to testify.

Build your brand even if it’s small with social media.
This was stressed by Facebook Philippines, Country Director, John Rubio during the 1st Facebook Community Boost Seminar in the Philippines held at the Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu, today.
Rubio disclosed that the two-day event is focused on empowering MSMEs (micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises) to help the Philippines economy build for the future using social marketing platforms and strategies.
Facebook Community Boost Cebu
Facebook Community Boost is a global initiative that aims to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and skills to keep up with the new mobile-first market.
Supported by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Facebook launched the event with bright hopes in promoting and raising awareness of the benefits and leverage of using digital marketing for communities and businesses of all sizes.
“Out of 195 countries, the Philippines ranks second as having the most time spent on the internet,” said Rubio.
He also stated that over fifty-million Filipinos are connected to SMB (small-medium businesses) in the Philippines through their mobile phones and tablets.
“This is an ideal opportunity for governments, non-governments, and SMBs to connect with the users and showcase their services in the local and also the international market,” Rubio added.

Generate Leads via “Facebook Boost”
“Filipino businesses are also missing out on the endless possibilities and opportunities of how the social media platforms can increase and generates leads for their sales,” stated Nanette Arbon, the DTI Cebu Provincial Director.
According to Arbon, unlike in the past where businesses had difficulty in raising their brand awareness, like erecting more branches to increase their physical presence or renting a car with a billboard and speaker on and make rounds in the community.
Now, it has become simple that no experience is needed in building a brand’s image using social platforms.
“Technology is leveling the playing field for MSMEs to cope with building their brand’s images along with the big ones,” said Arbon.
Facebook enables MSMEs to reach more clients and has more visibility of their products and services at almost no cost.
Messaging apps such as Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp and many more can create engagement and builds trust when an interested customer contacts the company to avail of the product.
However, Arbon reminds MSMEs that, “Fulfillment can be an issue as most businesses are in the food industry. These businesses tend to have more demand than what they can supply and that can affect the business’s reputation.”
“But we are at the same time, very happy, that we are having such a problem,” Arbon says.
She believes that this problem can be solved as the company increases and grows.
“Having a lot of orders is actually a great start for the company, “ shares Anya Lim, Co-Founder, and Managing Director of Anthill.
Lim says that people could only find her store, which sells woven clothes, products, and designs made from raw materials, through foot traffic. With the help of social media, it amplified the word of mouth effect using Facebook.
“Now the whole population of Facebook can find my store until a single person could no longer handle the responses and we always strive for a 100% response rate,” states Lim.
Using Facebook, Lim was able to gather multiple artisans not just from the Philippines but also from international places from the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
“It takes time to learn all the features in the platforms you use, but primarily it is about showcasing your products. For us, it was our photo albums but the essential idea to keep in mind is just to get it out there,” says Lim.
If most MSMEs can leverage like Anthill, the Philippines would see great economic growth in the global market which opens a lot of possibilities for MSMEs.
Arbon stated that kickstarting the digital transformation in Region VII can also help the Filipinos to be more comfortable and attracted to using startup products made locally.
“The Philippines is not ground zero for trade and commerce, it is actually world-class!” stated Rubio.
Promoting awareness about digital transformations can motivate other owners to make a move.
“My mission is to take the products and services and not only introduce it in the country but also the world,” says Rubio.
“This is not ground zero, my dream is to go beyond the local market and pull all of the thousands of MSMEs and create an image stating (Made by the Philippines and Love by the world!)”

Before we became travelers, we only knew Waterford Crystal from our wedding registry. We came upon some in Macy’s and noted that it was some expensive “glass”.
After having visited Ireland, we have to admit, the Ireland bling known as Waterford Crystal is hypnotic and more than just fancy glass.
We were thrilled when we learned we’d be taking a tour of the Waterford Crystal plant/showroom.
Before arriving to the factory, our tour guide, Evelyn, shared that in June 2009 the Waterford factory closed leaving tourists out of luck in seeing the famous Waterford Crystal, and many locals out of a job. But, thankfully, in 2010, a new group took over and brought the factory back with a new improved showroom and tour experience.
Since it was our first experience, ignorance was bliss. We thoroughly enjoyed the factory tour. We can say that without taking the tour, we wouldn’t have really known how much work goes into one piece of crystal or just how cool these crystal pieces are.
Right out of the gate, we were surprised to learn that the molding process began with wood. As you can imagine, wood molds do burn, and, so eventually the mold will be out of commission.
The next 9 pictures are a series of photos taken in order of the journey that a piece of crystal undergoes.
We found the Quality Inspection Department to be quite impressive. One of the most impressive aspects about this process is if the crystal piece has any imperfections, it is destroyed and sent to be re-melted.
The artists in the cutting department were quite friendly and more than willing to share their expertise with us. One artist, not photographed, shared his knowledge of his station’s technique with us and gave us a glimpse into his life and the journey he traveled to become such an expert craftsman. He had been with the company for 42 years.
Until visiting the factory, we never noticed that the logo of the seahorse had a clover in the tail.
The delight of walking the showroom – luxurious, sexy, and creative – just a few words to describe the imagery dancing before our eyes.
Fun tidbit: As we brought King Bombo out for a picture, another guest – not part of our group – made a beeline for where we were standing. She was fascinated by King Bombo and thought he was part of the Waterford shot set…unfortunately, we had to break the bad news to her, but she chuckled and carried on.
If ever in Waterford, visit the factory – even if you plan to buy nothing.

Bacterial soft rot (Erwinia carotovora pv. carotovora)
Soft rot often begins in the peduncle and calyx tissues of harvested fruit. Infection can occur through wounds anywhere on the fruit. Fruit infected on the plant collapses and hangs on the plant like a water-filled bag. When the contents leak out, a dry shell of the fruit remains.
The bacteria are soil-borne. Soft rot is primarily a post-harvest problem although it can occur in the field being facilitated by injuries to the fruit by insects and water splash. The disease is serious during rainy periods because the bacteria are splashed from the soil onto the fruit, which are more susceptible due to their high moisture content.
- Rotation with beans or maize.
- Control of insects that cause injury to fruits.
- Post-harvest decay can be reduced by harvesting fruits when dry, minimising injury during handling, and store at cool temperatures.
- ]If fruits must be washed, add free chlorine in the wash water to eliminate soft-rot bacteria. However, this treatment prevents infection during washing but does not prevent soft rot development in fruits that were already infected before washing.

The EESC issues between 160 and 190 opinions and information reports a year.
It also organises several annual initiatives and events with a focus on civil society and citizens’ participation such as the Civil Society Prize, the Civil Society Days, the Your Europe, Your Say youth plenary and the ECI Day.
The EESC brings together representatives from all areas of organised civil society, who give their independent advice on EU policies and legislation. The EESC's326 Members are organised into three groups: Employers, Workers and Various Interests.
The EESC has six sections, specialising in concrete topics of relevance to the citizens of the European Union, ranging from social to economic affairs, energy, environment, external relations or the internal market.
Current: The road to net-zero EU industry: We must reach our climate goals while ensuring that Europe is globally competitive
The road to net-zero EU industry: We must reach our climate goals while ensuring that Europe is globally competitive
This page is also available in:
President of the European Economic and Social Committee, Christa Schweng, highlights the requirements for Europe to become globally more competitive and sustainable.
The EU has been spearheading climate action and has shown the world that it is possible to achieve ambitious emission reductions without endangering economic prosperity. The most important lever for global emission reduction is developing affordable low- or no-carbon, energy efficient technologies and bringing them to global markets. This means having a strong European manufacturing sector that can deliver these technologies.
Boosting competitiveness and sustainability is good news.
Only a competitive Europe can create prosperity for our businesses and people while also offering sustainable solutions to climate and environmental challenges. Sustainable practices are good news for companies: they help them become more efficient, reduce their costs, enhance their reputation and access new markets.
Watch the level playing field.
The current discussions on the US Inflation Reduction Act are an opportunity for the EU to act as one to ensure a level playing field for its industry and the related jobs We cannot afford to be overly reliant on any single country or region for critical goods, services or technologies. A key step towards greater sustainability and global competitiveness is to develop a fully circular economy and create functioning markets for secondary raw materials. The European Union must play a leading role in demonstrating that raw materials extraction and production processes can be sustainable. Europe is heavily dependent on the rest of the world for most of these materials. By rolling out good practices and working with like-minded third countries, the EU can foster global uptake of its highly demanding standards for the benefit of planet and people. Waste management policies and mandatory recycled contents in packaging and other products are also vital for setting in motion investments along the recycling chains.
To boost the competitiveness of European producers, we also need to ensure reciprocity in trade standards at economic, social and environmental level, to develop digital and circular skills, to promote research and to ensure fair prices that include higher input costs and costs for increased sustainability.
Bring civil society into the equation.
Constructive social and civic dialogue is essential for a successful transition to a net-zero economy, which will only work if businesses and workers are part of the solution. Together, we must build a competitive, sustainable and inclusive future for a Europe that works for businesses of all sizes and leaves no one behind.

Large Format Printing
The Fleetmark Group are experts in signage and digital print branding solutions to provide the best possible option for your interior and exterior requirements.
Large format Digital printing
Our state of the art print facilities operate in an enclosed, temperature controlled and dust free environment to provide consistent reproduction of design and colour. Our matched component system ensures we only use compatible materials that allow provision for industry leading warranties.
Fleetmark operates various print technologies using latex, UV and solvent printing platforms to ensure each print we supply is fit for purpose, delivering specific durability, resolution and environmental requirements for each customer. We can provide a fully guaranteed digital print solution for up to 7 years on a selection of products. Our turnaround times are extremely efficient to maximise speed to market.
Hot & Cold Lamination
Lamination is an important process where we adhere a protecting film on top of the base film. This is called an over-laminate. The over-laminate serves to protect against harsh weather conditions, graffiti and damaging environments ensuring longer lasting print for your brands.
Fleetmark’s over-laminates contain UV inhibitors which greatly reduce the amount of harmful UV radiation hitting the image, thus reducing fade and degradation. Laminating also makes the material thicker by a few millimetres, which makes vehicle wrapping installation easier and prevents tears while the vinyl is being stretched over awkwardly shaped parts of the vehicle.
Our laminates can be supplied in your choice of a gloss, matte or satin finish.
The latest technology in digital printing allows Fleetmark to reproduce high resolution, photographic images matched to your colour specifications. This also provides unlimited design options for your company branding.
We source a heavy duty 900gsm canvas and use a 6 colour print process, which produces rich and vibrant graphics. After printing we thoroughly inspect the print for any imperfections to ensure that your curtain meets our quality guidelines.
Fleetmark understands the need for your curtains to be durable in Australia’s tough environment, therefore all curtains receive our PPG 2pak Clear Coating, which protects your curtain from the damage caused by UV, road dirt and grime, whilst providing the flexibility to withstand the rigours of day-to-day curtain use.
See PVC Fabrication for more information on our range of curtains.
Vinyl Banners are perfect for advertising your events & sales! We print custom vinyl banners in full colour and can finish them with eyelets, ropes, rod pockets, velcro or keder edging for you to hang them up. Fleetmark uses Quality 510gsm Vinyl Banner Material and always uses photo quality printing. We have completed banners from small to over 20m long!
Fleetmark have a range of printing products for use in retail, as first impressions are critical to catch your customer’s attention. Your retail signs, A-frames, pull up banners and static signs needs to be aligned with your brand, your product or service.


A bill to make Colorado schools liable for shootings faces this week in the state Legislature.
A Senate committee starts work on the measure inspired by the 2013 shooting death of Claire Davis at Arapahoe High School in Littleton.
The bill allows shooting victims or their relatives to collect up to $350,000 for violence “when the harm is reasonably foreseeable.”
The bill is supported by Davis’ parents, but they have made an agreement with Littleton Public Schools not to sue.
The committee will also consider a bill ordering more study of school violence and mental health.

(1968) Planned Parenthood of San Antonio and South Central Texas and the Southwest Foundation for Research and Education begin an oral contraceptive study on 70 poverty-stricken Mexican-American women, giving only half the oral contraceptives they think they are receiving and the other half a placebo. When the results of this study are released a few years later, it stirs tremendous controversy among Mexican-Americans (Sharav, Sauter).
(1969) President Nixon ends the United States’ offensive biowarfare program, including human experimentation done at Fort Detrick. By this time, tens of thousands of civilians and members of the U.S. armed forces have wittingly and unwittingly acted as participants in experiments involving exposure to dangerous biological agents (Goliszek).
The U.S. military conducts DTC Test 69-12, which is an open-air test of VX and sarin nerve agents at the Army’s Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, likely exposing military personnel (Goliszek, Martin).
Experimental drugs are tested on mentally disabled children in Milledgeville, Ga., without any institutional approval whatsoever (Sharav).
Dr. Donald MacArthur, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Deputy Director for Research and Technology, requests $10 million from Congress to develop a synthetic biological agent that would be resistant “to the immunological and therapeutic processes upon which we depend to maintain our relative freedom from infectious disease” (Cockburn and St. Clair, eds.).
Judge Sam Steinfield’s dissent in Strunk v. Strunk, 445 S.W.2d 145 marks the first time a judge has ever suggested that the Nuremberg Code be applied in American court cases (Sharav).
(1970) A year after his request, under H.R. 15090, Dr. MacArthur receives funding to begin CIA-supervised mycoplasma research with Fort Detrick’s Special Operations Division and hopefully create a synthetic immunosuppressive agent. Some experts believe that this research may have inadvertently created HIV, the virus that causes AIDS (Goliszek).
Under order from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which also sponsored the Tuskegee Experiment, the free childcare program at Johns Hopkins University collects blood samples from 7,000 African-American youth, telling their parents that they are checking for anemia but actually checking for an extra Y chromosome (XYY), believed to be a biological predisposition to crime. The program director, Digamber Borganokar, does this experiment without Johns Hopkins University’s permission (Greger, Merritte, et al.).
(1971) President Nixon converts Fort Detrick from an offensive biowarfare lab to the Frederick Cancer Research and Development Center, now known as the National Cancer Institute at Frederick. In addition to cancer research, scientists study virology, immunology and retrovirology (including HIV) there. Additionally, the site is home to the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute, which researches drugs, vaccines and countermeasures for biological warfare, so the former Fort Detrick does not move far away from its biowarfare past (Goliszek).
Stanford University conducts the Stanford Prison Experiment on a group of college students in order to learn the psychology of prison life. Some students are given the role as prison guards, while the others are given the role of prisoners. After only six days, the proposed two-week study has to end because of its psychological effects on the participants. The “guards” had begun to act sadistic, while the “prisoners” started to show signs of depression and severe psychological stress (University of New Hampshire).
An article entitled “Viral Infections in Man Associated with Acquired Immunological Deficiency States” appears in Federation Proceedings. Dr. MacArthur and Fort Detrick’s Special Operations Division have, at this point, been conducting mycoplasma research to create a synthetic immunosuppressive agent for about one year, again suggesting that this research may have produced HIV (Goliszek).
(1972) In studies sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Amedeo Marrazzi gives LSD to mental patients at the University of Missouri Institute of Psychiatry and the University of Minnesota Hospital to study “ego strength” (Barker).
(1973) An Ad Hoc Advisory Panel issues its Final Report on the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, writing, “Society can no longer afford to leave the balancing of individual rights against scientific progress to the scientific community” (Sharav).
(1974) Congress enacts the National Research Act, creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research and finally setting standards for human experimentation on children (Breslow).
(1975) The Department of Health, Education and Welfare gives the National Institutes of Health’s Policies for the Protection of Human Subjects (1966) regulatory status. Title 45, known as “The Common Rule,” officially creates institutional review boards (IRBs) (Sharav).
(1977) The Kennedy Hearing initiates the process toward Executive Order 12333, prohibiting intelligence agencies from experimenting on humans without informed consent (Merritte, et al.).
The U.S. government issues an official apology and $400,000 to Jeanne Connell, the sole survivor from Col. Warren’s now-infamous plutonium injections at Strong Memorial Hospital, and the families of the other human test subjects (Burton Report).
The National Urban League holds its National Conference on Human Experimentation, stating, “We don’t want to kill science but we don’t want science to kill, mangle and abuse us” (Sharav).
(1978) The CDC begins experimental hepatitis B vaccine trials in New York. Its ads for research subjects specifically ask for promiscuous homosexual men. Professor Wolf Szmuness of the Columbia University School of Public Health had made the vaccine’s infective serum from the pooled blood serum of hepatitis-infected homosexuals and then developed it in chimpanzees, the only animal susceptible to hepatitis B, leading to the theory that HIV originated in chimpanzees before being transferred over to humans via this vaccine. A few months after 1,083 homosexual men receive the vaccine, New York physicians begin noticing cases of Kaposi’s sarcoma, Mycoplasma penetrans and a new strain of herpes virus among New York’s homosexual community — diseases not usually seen among young, American men, but that would later be known as common opportunistic diseases associated with AIDS (Goliszek).
(1979) The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research releases the Belmont Report, which establishes the foundations for research experimentation on humans. The Belmont Report mandates that researchers follow three basic principles: 1. Respect the subjects as autonomous persons and protect those with limited ability for independence (such as children), 2. Do no harm, 3. Choose test subjects justly — being sure not to target certain groups because of they are easily accessible or easily manipulated, rather than for reasons directly related to the tests (Berdon).
(1980) A study reveals a high incidence of leukemia among the 18,000 military personnel who participated in 1957’s Operation Plumbbob “Operation Plumbob”.
According to blood samples tested years later for HIV, 20 percent of all New York homosexual men who participated in the 1978 hepatitis B vaccine experiment are HIV-positive by this point (Goliszek).
American doctors give experimental hormone shots to hundreds of Haitian men confined to detention camps in Miami and Puerto Rico, causing the men to develop a condition known as gynecomastia, in which men develop full-sized breasts (Cockburn and St. Clair, eds.).
The CDC continues its 1978 hepatitis B vaccine experiment in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, St. Louis and Denver, recruiting over 7,000 homosexual men in San Francisco alone (Goliszek).
The FDA prohibits the use of prison inmates in pharmaceutical drug trials, leading to the advent of the experimental drug testing centers industry (Sharav).
The first AIDS case appears in San Francisco (Goliszek).
(1981 – 1993) The Seattle-based Genetic Systems Corporation begins an ongoing medical experiment called Protocol No. 126, in which cancer patients at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle are given bone marrow transplants that contain eight experimental proteins made by Genetic Systems, rather than standard bone marrow transplants; 19 human subjects die from complications directly related to the experimental treatment (Goliszek).
A deep diving experiment at Duke University causes test subject Leonard Whitlock to suffer permanent brain damage (Sharav).
The CDC acknowledges that a disease known as AIDS exists and confirms 26 cases of the disease — all in previously healthy homosexuals living in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles — again supporting the speculation that AIDS originated from the hepatitis B experiments from 1978 and 1980 (Goliszek).
(1982) Thirty percent of the test subjects used in the CDC’s hepatitis B vaccine experiment are HIV-positive by this point (Goliszek).
(1984) SFBC Phase I research clinic founded in Miami, Fla. By 2005, it would become the largest experimental drug testing center in North America with centers in Miami and Montreal, running Phase I to Phase IV clinical trials (Drug Development-Technology.com).
(1985) A former U.S. Army sergeant tries to sue the Army for using drugs on him in without his consent or even his knowledge in United States v. Stanley, 483 U.S. 669. Justice Antonin Scalia writes the decision, clearing the U.S. military from any liability in past, present or future medical experiments without informed consent (Merritte, et al..
(1987) Philadelphia resident Doris Jackson discovers that researchers have removed her son’s brain post mortem for medical study. She later learns that the state of Pennsylvania has a doctrine of “implied consent,” meaning that unless a patient signs a document stating otherwise, consent for organ removal is automatically implied (Merritte, et al.).
(1988) The U.S. Justice Department pays nine Canadian survivors of the CIA and Dr. Cameron’s “psychic driving” experiments (1957 – 1964) $750,000 in out-of-court settlements, to avoid any further investigations into MKULTRA (Goliszek).
(1988 – 2001) The New York City Administration for Children’s Services begins allowing foster care children living in about two dozen children’s homes to be used in National Institutes of Health-sponsored (NIH) experimental AIDS drug trials. These children — totaling 465 by the program’s end — experience serious side effects, including inability to walk, diarrhea, vomiting, swollen joints and cramps. Children’s home employees are unaware that they are giving the HIV-infected children experimental drugs, rather than standard AIDS treatments (New York City ACS, Doran).
(1990) The United States sends 1.7 million members of the armed forces, 22 percent of whom are African-American, to the Persian Gulf for the Gulf War (“Desert Storm”). More than 400,000 of these soldiers are ordered to take an experimental nerve agent medication called pyridostigmine, which is later believed to be the cause of Gulf War Syndrome — symptoms ranging from skin disorders, neurological disorders, incontinence, uncontrollable drooling and vision problems — affecting Gulf War veterans (Goliszek; Merritte, et al.).
The CDC and Kaiser Pharmaceuticals of Southern California inject 1,500 six-month-old black and Hispanic babies in Los Angeles with an “experimental” measles vaccine that had never been licensed for use in the United States. Adding to the risk, children less than a year old may not have an adequate amount of myelin around their nerves, possibly resulting in impaired neural development because of the vaccine. The CDC later admits that parents were never informed that the vaccine being injected into their children was experimental (Goliszek).
The FDA allows the U.S. Department of Defense to waive the Nuremberg Code and use unapproved drugs and vaccines in Operation Desert Shield (Sharav).

Robinhood, the trading app at the center of the stock market frenzy around GameStop, will air its first Super Bowl commercial, even as it deals with the fallout surrounding the controversy.
The company will use the Big Game to lean into its mission of democratizing trading, even as that is being called into question. Robinhood was criticized for halting trading of GameStop and other stocks that saw meteoric rises last week and is now facing dozens of lawsuits as a result.
Of course, Robinhood’s decision to air a Super Bowl commercial came before last week’s dustup. Christina Smedley, chief marketing officer, says when she joined the company five months ago it was clear there was a transformational moment happening in technology, finance, and the democracy of the two, that’s accelerated amid the pandemic.
While the company debated pulling out of the game, it ultimately decided to move forward in an effort to educate consumers, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Robinhood has had more than 600,000 app downloads as of last week, according to JMP Securities.

New Delhi: With the latest National Statistical Office survey showing only 71 per cent of rural households having access to toilets, the CPI(M) on Monday hit out at the Centre dubbing its claim of 95 per cent of rural India's reach to the basic amenity as a "propaganda spin".
"Yet another propaganda spin of Modi government debunked. The latest NSO survey shows that as against the claim of 95 per cent toilet access in rural India, only 71 per cent had (it). The definition of such access is also dubious. Major BJP-ruled states showed large gaps," tweeted CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury.
The Left leader also alleged that the government is reducing the state governments to the status of "seeking alms" from the Centre. "This attack on fiscal federalism must be rebuffed... The non-BJP state governments must rise in unison to protest and resist," he tweeted.

For weeks, it had been assumed that the Miami Dolphins were going to select a quarterback with the No. 5 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.
However, a Wednesday report indicates that the Dolphins may be interested in trading up to No. 3 to select an offensive tackle.
Sources: The #Dolphins have called the teams in front of them for a possible trade up from No. 5 and are gauging the price to come up to No. 3 to potentially take an offensive tackle. We could see a run on tackles in the Top 10 like never before.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 22, 2020
There are a number of highly talented tackles in this year’s draft class. The top prospects include the University of Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs, the University of Georgia’s Andrew Thomas and the University of Alabama’s Jedrick Wills Jr.
While it was previously reported that Miami wanted to trade up from their No. 18 selection to try to get an offensive lineman, it looks as though priorities may have shifted.
While the Dolphins are believed to be most interested in either Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa at the quarterback position, they may be willing to see if either slide once draft day comes.
Selecting an offensive tackle near the top of the draft would be a major departure from what fans and experts alike have expected the Dolphins to do.
Still, if the organization believes that course of action is the best for the team’s future, fans will have no choice but to trust the decision.
