text: I just Graduated high school last year. This is not what we need. You’re going behind the parents backs while dealing with minors. You’re also putting children at risk. We are already dealing with sexual harassment and poor judgment we don’t need someone pretending to be a different gender to come into our bathrooms and locker rooms ( please work to making a separate bathroom so we can all choose which one to go in ) some of us wouldn’t feel comfortable with knowing some of our peers are lying about how they identify themselves just to get in the locker room. You can’t make rules like this and ignore the fact that it is a huge risk allowing 15-18 year olds together in unsupervised spaces like that. If kids are already finding a way to harass each other and/ or have sex in school then making it easier is not a good plan. Please adjust the rules. It should be a subject in school like learning to have safe sex and it should be able to be discussed safely in school but school should also be a safe place for everybody attending.

Liverpool – Brighton, Premier League Prediction
Everybody talks about van Dijk’s great performance and how the world’s most expensive defender now does not look so expensive. Liverpool defeated a very tough opponent in the face of Crystal Palace on Monday night and the Dutchman was overwhelming with his great defensive abilities. Since Liverpool has lost that match against Tottenham at Wembley back in October, they have been in champions form. 31 fixtures have been played since then in the championship, they conceded 22 goals in them and scored 76. This is a performance that is better than the average pace of champion of England. Since then, Liverpool has been the best team in few stats – least conceded goals, most clean sheets (15) and the fewest shots on target faced. Obviously, this team has been working very seriously the defensive aspect of the game in recent years and Van Dijk’s involvement was the key. It was not accidental that Klopp wanted him so much and was ready to wait just to buy him even later than expected. Liverpool has now been the only team in the Premier League which is yet to concede a goal after the first two rounds. The Reds are in a series of six consecutive wins, and at Anfield have not conceded a goal in the league since February.
Brighton made a stunning performance against Manchester United and scored three goals till the end of the first half, then won the game by 3-2. That, however, was not very surprising considering United’s problems lately, not only in the team but also in the club overall. Brighton has made excellent use of United’s struggles on the wings, mostly because of Young’s new position and Mata’s defensive performance. This is how the first goal was scored. Last season “Seagulls” also relied heavily on home games, but had problems with the top 6 teams. Their first match was lost 2-0 by Watford and now their opponent is too strong for them. Brighton have only 1 win in their last 20 away games and it’s been a FA Cup against Boro last season. They have only 5 goals scored in their last 14 away games in the league. They recorded only 2 wins last season away from home.
Liverpool smashed Brighton in both games last campaign. The first to win by 1-5 as a guest and in the last round of the championship it was 4-0 at Anfield. “Seagulls” know they have no chance against Liverpool, so Hughton can try to experiment. He will not be bothered by a big loss, as long as his team does well and play their own game. Liverpool is gaining momentum and, most likely, at Anfield will very rarely make mistakes. Our main prediction is Liverpool -1.5 AH at 1.50. Due to the low odds we offer several additional options
- Liverpool to score both halves – 1.60
- Liverpool to win to 0 – 1.75
- Liverpool -2.5 AH – 2.10
The Ox is out by the end of the season, Lovren is not yet fully fit. Fabinho is likely to be in the squad this time
Lewis Dunk is expected to miss out after leaving The Amex on crutches last weekend, while Florin Andone and Jose Izquierdo are still sidelined too. Bruno is also an injury doubt, leaving Martin Montoya to play at right back and Leon Balogun to take Dunk’s place

The NHS NW Leadership Academy asked us to deliver pilot programmes for Clinical Commissioning Groups in the region. Working with the Academy team we liaised with Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale CCG and with West Cheshire CCG to design the programme.
CCGs are clinically-led statutory NHS bodies responsible for the planning and commissioning of health care services for their local area. Operating since April 2013 leadership teams of the CCGs face challenges on many levels as they seek to deliver continuous improvement for patients.
The two day pilot programmes delivered to a mix of clinicians and managers from the CCGs were a great success. Each one was tailored to the specific needs of the CCG and with practical application of the skills at the forefront we explored how the approach would be best employed at work.

Canada moves to ratify international agreement on combating child labour
OTTAWA – The federal government is set to ratify an international agreement on combating child labour, but internal documents suggest Canada has little ability or experience enforcing similar provisions in trade agreements.
Those agreements with the world’s most advanced and fastest growing economies allow Canada to exact monetary penalties, including up to $15 million as part of a labour agreement with Colombia.
However, documents obtained by The Canadian Press under the access to information say Canada has little experience in ensuring that international partners meet the binding labour obligations outlined in agreements.
The background material prepared by the labour program at Employment and Social Development Canada last year also says dispute resolution and financial penalty processes are untested internationally.
Labour Minister MaryAnn Mihychuk said Canada still needs to work on its enforcement and compliance efforts.
There are various approaches, she says.
“Instead of looking at enforcement and penalties, we’re actively engaged with Colombia, Honduras, Vietnam,” she said.
“We would look at providing technical assistance, assisting them to find a different path, encouraging them to follow best practices that comply with the declaration.
“So I would rather see us working co-operatively with other nations rather than looking at penalties.”
Mihychuk said she is looking to increase capacity in the area by boosting the federal labour program’s budget, because domestic businesses want the government to make competitors aren’t using child labour to gain an economic advantage.
Next week, Mihychuk will put her signature on the International Labour Organization’s convention on the minimum age for work, bringing Canada on board with 168 other countries that have ratified the convention.
The convention states that the minimum age for work should be 15.
“It’s basically saying that we see the value of young people and that they should be at school, that they should not be in the workforce,” Mihychuk said.
Mihychuk said signing the agreement won’t outlaw having tweens help out on the family farms, babysit, or take part in traditional aboriginal practices.
The decision to ratify the convention comes after more than a year of reviews by federal officials and talks with provincial and territorial governments.

WEST WINDSOR– A Extended Stay America hotel in Mercer County was among 10 additional businesses targeted today in lawsuits filed by the N.J. Office of the Attorney General alleging price gouging during Hurricane Sandy.
The Extended Stay America on Route 1 in West Windsor raised its room rates nearly 60 percent after Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey, officials said.
The latest round of lawsuits brings the total to 10 gas stations and eight hotels statewide accused of price gouging. The first group of lawsuits was announced by Attorney General Jeff Chiesa on Nov. 9.
New Jersey’s price gouging law restricts businesses from excessive price increases, defined as more than 10 percent higher than was regularly charged, during a declared state of emergency or for the 30 days after the state of emergency is terminated.
The latest round of lawsuits announced today include seven hotels accused of more than 1,000 instances of price gouging. Some hotels raised prices more than 200 percent and more than $400 a night, officials said.
Here are the 18 business now accused of price gouging, along with the alleged markup amount:
• Extended Stay America - 3450 Brunswick Pike, Princeton (60 percent)
• Comfort Suites - 220 Route 17, Mahwah, (208 percent)
• America’s Best Value Inn - 1311 Route 22 West, Phillipsburg, (192 percent)
• A-1 Motel - 616 West White Horse Pike, Cologne, (117 percent)
• Ramada Inn - 120 Evergreen Place, East Orange (30 percent)
• Holiday Inn Express - 2600 Tonnelle Avenue, North Bergen (92 percent)
• Howard Johnson Express-Clifton - 680 Route 3 West, Clifton (151 percent)
• Howard Johnson Express - 625 Rt. 46 E, Parsippany (32 percent)
• Jenny’s Shell Station - 461 Bloomfield Avenue, Bloomfield (23 percent)
• Delta - 7319 Bergenline Avenue, North Bergen (22 percent)
• Lukoil - 152 Old New Brunswick Road, Piscataway (17.5 percent)
• Lukoil - 253 McBride Ave., Paterson (59 percent)
• George's Gulf - 387 Crooks Ave., Clifton (34 percent)
• Lukoil - 335 McCarter Highway, Newark (31 percent)
• Delta - 141 Bloomfield Ave., Bloomfield (25 percent)
• BP - 163 Fayette St., Perth Amboy (33 percent)
• Exxon - 555 Riverside Ave., Lyndhurst (21 percent)
• Sunoco - 69 Wilson Ave., Newark (17 percent)
"The last thing people put out of their homes in a natural disaster should have to confront is price gouging from unscrupulous profiteers," Gov. Chris Christie said in statement. "It's illegal, offensive and completely opposite the spirit of cooperation we saw just about everywhere else in our state in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy."
Each business charged in the lawsuit faces fines up to $10,000 for the first offense, or up to $20,000 for each subsequent offense.
Extended Stay America is accused of engaging in price gouging on 107 separate instances during the state of emergency.
Christine Brantley, a manager at the hotel who was reached by phone this afternoon, declined to comment about the accusations.
Four of the hotels are owned by an affiliated group of companies, Ratan Hospitality Group, based in North Bergen, officials said. They include: Ramada Inn, 120 Evergreen Place, East Orange; Holiday Inn Express, 2600 Tonnelle Avenue, North Bergen; Howard Johnson Express-Clifton, 680 Route 3 West, Clifton; and Howard Johnson Express, 625 Rt. 46 E, Parsippany.
“This one company and its four hotels allegedly committed a staggering number of violations of the price gouging law, and each separate violation merits a penalty of up to five figures,” Attorney General Chiesa said
Consumers who suspect price gouging or any other violation of consumer protection laws, particularly as a result of Hurricane Sandy, are urged to call the Division of Consumer Affairs at 800-242-5846.
Consumers who believe they have been cheated or scammed by a business, or suspect any other form of consumer abuse, can file a complaint with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs by calling (800) 242-5846 (toll free within New Jersey) or (973) 504-6200.

"Chroma" is closely related to Box Set. After two years of documenting, observing and experiencing the changing palette of nature, I developed a strange sense of inhabiting color. The “Chroma Series” strips color down to its base properties of light and matter. The series references the history of color field painting and explores the nature of time-based objects. Each color is housed in a unique structure, they are tactile time based items. I have been interested in the possessive nature of video since the arrival of handheld video players. Video is a medium to "hold", a language to share. These works are meant to inhabit the counter dynamic elements of time and the static character of objects.
“Yellow” and “Blue – the default color of hyperlinks” are the first works in the series. “Yellow” is a 12 min loop, which begins as a pale, almost white, moving through the spectrum to a burnt yellow, and then recedes back to pale yellow. “Blue – the default color of hyperlinks” is a dance between shades of blue and gray.

More than 100 weapons turned in at gun buyback in Hartford
HARTFORD–A gun buyback was held on Saturday in Hartford.
Overall, 104 firearms including assault weapons, pistols, rifles and shotguns were turned in.
The buyback took place on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Community Renewal Team, located at 555 Windsor St.
The buyback was held through a partnership between Connecticut Children’s Medical Center, Hartford Hospital and Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center. It is the sixth annual Give Us a Hand: Turn in a Gun.
In exchange for turning in an operable gun, residents received a Stop & Shop gift card. For assault rifles you can get a $200 gift card; for handguns and revolvers you get $100; and for shotguns or rifles you get $25.
Non-working guns, black-powder weapons, BB guns, flare guns, and ammunition could also be turned in but aren’t eligible for a gift card.
Guns must be unloaded, placed in a clear plastic bag, and inside a paper bag or box. All guns received are destroyed unless forensic testing confirms it has been used in a crime.
Over the past five years, more than 800 firearms have been collected through the program.
“We are proud to be holding our 6th Annual Gun Buyback for Connecticut residents,” said Dr. Brendan Campbell, director of pediatric trauma at CCMC. “It is our hope that this event will be both an opportunity for individuals to get rid of unwanted firearms, and a reminder for gun owners to make certain that their firearms are stored safely,” concluded Dr. Campbell.

DOVER — While Wesley College students practiced lacrosse Wednesday afternoon, a saxophone player began to warm up on the sidelines.
A student sitting on the grass tested his drums. Students helped zip each others’ uniforms up.
The Saturday homecoming parade for Wesley will boast something new this year: a college marching band. They met Wednesday to practice drills at the Wesley West athletic complex.
In fall 2011, there was only a drumline at Wesley. A small pep band started playing in 2012. But this is the first year in recent memory that an honest-to-goodness marching band has stepped out onto the field for halftime at home games.
“It’s a challenge, but it’s also good because we’re starting everyone brand-new,” said band leader Brian Cass, standing beside a van packed with uniforms and instruments.
“Everybody has positive things to say about it. It’s a great addition to the football games.”
About 30 students have joined the band already, set to perform at home football games, department showcases, parades.
“It’s definitely attractive when you have a band and a choir, even to non-majors,” Mr. Cass said.
Most Wolverine Marching Band members aren’t music majors, although Mr. Cass said there’s a few he’s hoping will consider it. The major, too, is new; Wesley first gave freshman the option to major in music in fall 2012, with a concentration in music theory or music history.
Many students, like drum major Amber Wiltbank, came from playing in their high school band. To prepare for the new venture, they came to school a week early for band camp.
“I missed it,” Ms. Wiltbank said. “It’s fun for me. I’m not a music major but it’s a great way to relax.”
A senior, she played alto saxophone in the pep band last year. But the experience doesn’t compare to this year.
“We’re out on the field marching around playing music,” she said. “And we actually have uniforms, so we look a lot snazzier.”
A $20,000 donation from a Wesley alumna, Joan Bennett, bought new uniforms and instruments for the band, Mr. Cass said.
Ms. Bennett sang in the choir herself at Wesley and supports the arts there now. She graduated in 1960, when the music department was strong and the college had a band.
“This administration has been really supportive and really pushing into bringing this piece back,” Mr. Cass said.
Around campus, Ms. Wiltbank said friends were surprised when she reminded them to come out to games and support the band.
“They’d say, ‘We have a band?’ Their face lights up,” she said.
“Our first halftime, people didn’t even leave to get a hotdog.”

Broken marriages often led to conflicts of loyalty and American entrepreneur and actor Damon Dash's current condition is the best example.
Recently, Dash was arrested for his unpaid child support to ex-wife Rachel Roy and ex-girlfriend Cindy. What is the actual matter?
What Was Damon Dash’s Divorce Consequences?
The 48-year-old actor cum entrepreneur filed for divorce in 2009 from his then-wife Rachel Roy. Once a multi-millionaire, Dash stepped down financially from owning $50 million to $2 million in debt.
The former power couple got divorced in 2011 and Rachel was granted sole custody of their daughters Ava Dash and Tallulah Ruth Dash while Dash was given only limited visitation rights.
Following the court orders, Dash sued Roy for $2.5 million claiming she mismanaged their shared fashion line. He also mentioned, Roy threatened his life with a knife.
According to TMZ, Dash filed legal documents stating that he no longer wants to pay for his 19-year-old daughter Ava. Dash further added, he no longer makes money as he used to in the past days.
As per reports, Dash roughly made over $56,000, while Rachel made approximately $500k in 2018. He reportedly pays $3,666 a month for 11-year-old Tallulah’s private school fees.
Why Was Damon Dash Arrested?
On 21st November 2019, the American actor was arrested for $400k unpaid child custody. As per Daily Mail, Dash was being targeted since 2015 with a warrant issued over $62,553 he owed to Morales.
The same year, Damon was issued yet another court conviction ordering him to pay an additional $342,000.
Recently in March 2019, a second warrant was issued in the Bronx Family Court case of Roy. As per reports, he was ordered to pay $341,991 and $25,000 for attorney fees in 2015. He was released after he paid a debt of about $1 million for an outstanding warrant.
When Did Dash And Roy Marry?
Damon first met Roy when she was working as an intern at Rocawear. The duo began dating for a while and exchanged their wedding vows on 15th January 2005.
Together they share two daughters: Ava born on 7th December 1999 and Tallulah Das born on 14th May 2008. Roy filed for the divorce in 2009 and officially ended their marriage in 2011.
Besides, he also shares a son named Dame “Boogie” Dash with former girlfriend Linda Williams. Also, a son named Lucky (b. in 2004) with Cindy Morales.
Dash is currently dating Raquel Horn. The duo is expecting their first child.
Did You Know? Dash was dating late singer Aaliyah at the time of her death.

Why Snake Plants Are Cool For Your Yard
Snake Plants are very popular around the world for two reasons. One reason is they can look very decorative in your garden. They add an attractive focal point and can be grown quite easily. The second reason is that snakes like these plants very much.
There are many different kinds of plants you could grow. The ones mentioned in this article are by far the easiest to care for. You just need to have the soil prepared appropriately. If you want to grow a plant that produces blooms, you will have to ensure that the soil is very full of microorganisms. These microorganisms are needed to provide the plant with food and the right amount of water as well.
Snake plants are perfect for growing in containers. This is a very versatile way of caring for these plants. However, it's also a good idea to grow them outdoors if you have the space. Here are some care tips on how to grow them indoors.
Snake plant blooms in spring. It's a good idea to make sure you plant these at the right time of year. In the Spring all the grass and foliage on the ground begins to die back. This provides the plant with a chance to grow up. It is during this time that the snake plant produces its flowers.
Snake plants are quite susceptible to insects. Some species are more susceptible than others. You should therefore make sure you look after the health of the plant. By ensuring the correct conditions of temperature, nutrition and moisture the plant will live a long and healthy life.
Care for these plants can take a while. You may have to water your plant on a regular basis, as well as provide it with the correct amount of light. This is where you should consider having an outside panel used to keep the soil moist. A movable tray or screen can be used to hold the plant while allowing sunlight to filter through. It's also important that you monitor the temperature and moisture levels.
Another consideration for your Snake Plant is where you buy it from. Do your research before buying any type of plants. Find out what the growing conditions are, and what the chances of disease or pests are. Buy from a reputable retailer, and always check the plant for signs of infection.
Once you have successfully grown your Snake plant, you will have created a wonderful botanical garden. The most rewarding part of Snake plant care is that it doesn't take very much maintenance. It really only requires watering, and periodic fertilization. Over time, the plant will flourish, and you will have created something that not only looks beautiful, but smells nice as well. The plant will provide a sanctuary in your home, where you can relax and forget about the troubles of the world.
While some varieties may be more difficult to grow than others, it doesn't have to be. Even common varieties like the Red Fox and Black Beauty will grow well if you take the time to learn about them and prepare the environment appropriately. If you are considering planting any of these plants, start by learning about their habitat and how to best maintain it. They are not hard to care for, and once you have the basics down, you should have no problem keeping them thriving.
There are different kinds of plants you might consider, but none are as unique or beautiful as snakes. You can grow them almost anywhere, provided you know the proper conditions and get the plant right the first time. One of the most popular choices for this is Java Moss. This lovely plant features small leaves that come in a wide variety of colors and can even look purple when they are young.
If you prefer, you can also get other varieties of snakes, such as Black Ratling, Black Eyed Susans and more. They are not that hard to care for and offer an elegant look that few plants can match. Many gardeners who want to try their hand at caring for plants that grow underground use Java Moss as their starter plant. They love the way the plant grows, climbing up and making the soil go deeper and fuller each year. It is easy to keep clean and adds a wonderful touch of decor to any garden.
Whether you choose Java Moss or other types of snake plants, you can grow them easily and enjoy the wonderful flowers and fauna they will bring to your yard. If you enjoy landscaping and putting in new flowers and plants, then this is something that you can really get a kick out of. Growing them is easy, and you can learn all about the basics from the local nursery. Take the time to learn all there is to know about this type of plant and you'll find that you are hooked for life!

The Invention of Nanocarbon Heat Dissipation and Heating Technologies
By: Dr. Lu's Studio
The first product he applied to was LED, which was a big bottleneck for heat dissipation at that time. He achieved very good results. The thermal radiation power was proportional to the fourth power of the temperature. The higher the temperature, the better the thermal radiation. Therefore, he applied for and obtained the US patent US9170015 in 2013. Although the embodiment of this patent was LED, the scope of the patent was not limited to this. Dr. Hung-Chih Lu also invented the application of nanocarbon heating technology.
The best implementation of nanocarbon heat dissipation technology is shown in Figure 1. This is a passive liquid-cooled heat sink using nanocarbon heat dissipation technology. The left side of Figure 1 is the overall appearance diagram, and the right side is the cross-sectional diagram, which is used to explain the internal structure.
A heat-dissipation plate at the bottom is connected to a heat source. It transfers the heat to a liquid inside it. The liquid has a special shape that helps it touch more of the metal and cool it down faster. The liquid then moves to another heat-dissipation plate at the top and gives it the heat. The top plate has a honeycomb design that looks nice and feels good. It also has a thin layer of carbon that radiates the heat away.
In order to compare the thermal radiation capabilities of these nanocarbon families: such as graphene, nanocarbon spheres, nanocarbon tubes and diamond-like carbon, pure aluminum plates are plated with these carbon family materials respectively, and Dr. Hung-Chih Lu's nanocarbon heat dissipation material with a special formula mixture is added. The test results of thermal radiation heat dissipation ability are shown in Figure 2. After thermal equilibrium, pure aluminum without coating is about 96 degrees, nanocarbon family, the difference is very small, the temperature is about 86 degrees, Dr. Hung-Chih Lu's nanocarbon mixture is the lowest, the temperature is about 81 degrees, which can prove that in actual use, nanocarbon materials can provide excellent thermal radiation heat dissipation.

PARIS, France — Technip Energies (T.EN) and its affiliates Kanfa and Inocean have released GO.H2 by T.EN, a full suite of carbon-free solutions for green hydrogen production, according to a recent T.EN news release.
This suite of solutions is based on renewable power sources (e.g., wind and solar), and it is flexible with building blocks that can be tailored depending on substructures, hydrogen products and derivatives produced, functionality and locations.
The offshore facility can be a fixed structure or a floater. The green hydrogen is produced using a seawater desalination unit, followed by electrolysis and exported to shore by a transport pipeline or offloaded on a carrier vessel.
For harsher environments, the substructure can be a spar or a semisubmersible.
For high capacities and further from shore, the hydrogen is converted by adding an ammonia or a liquid organic hydrogen carrier unit and transferred to a floating storage and offloading vessel. By adding hydrogen storage and fuel cells, the facility ensures a stable and continuous power supply for electrified oil and gas facilities powered by wind turbines.
For smaller capacities, the systems can be located on the floating offshore wind substructure or on the substation.
Intermittency management is addressed from design phase through adequate system architecture and technology bricks, power and hydrogen storage and control strategies. In operations, an energy management system enables online production optimization through predictive control models.


text: The Privy Room (Has Oda) / The Chamber Of The Holy Relics (Mukaddes Emanetler Dairesi) The Privy Room, built during the time of Sultan Mehmed II (r. 1451-81) as the sultan’s private apartments on the courtyard of the Inner Palace, is a two-storey structure of four basic spaces. The first part, at the entrance, is the Fountain Hall, named for the fountain located beneath the first dome. Beneath the second dome is a bench on which the sultan could sit. The wooden doors and window shutters open onto the Petition Room and the other rooms and date back to the building’s initial construction. Above them is inscribed the name of Mehmed II. The mother-of-pearl inlay door in the Privy Room was installed during renovations in 1916. The Petition Room (Arzhâne) is entered through a door on the right side of the Fountain Hall and on this door is written verse 46 of the Qur’an’s Surah al-Hijr: “Enter in peace and security!” (udkhuluha bisalamin aminina). In here, the sultan would read petitions submitted to him and issue appropriate orders related to them. It was also the room where he would receive guests. The Petition Room is decorated with Iznik and Kütahya tiles manufactured at the workshops established in the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus (Tekfur Sarayı) now located in modern-day Istanbul’s Fatih district. Containing tiles from several different periods and in several different styles, the Petition Room is effectively a fine ceramic tile exhibition in itself. In the band stretching among the tiles are inscribed verses 38 to 44 of the Qur’an’s Surah al-Ahzab; the sections following the final verse are located precisely in the centre of the Privy Room’s dome. One additional use of the Petition Room was as a place for the sultan to receive the congratulations of the grand vizier and other court dignitaries following his accession to the throne as well as during official visits to the Holy Mantle of the Prophet which took place on the fifteenth day of the month of Ramadan. Currently, the Petition Room is open to the public and some of the holy relics are exhibited here. The Privy Room was primarily a place used in the winter as a study. In particular, the sultans Mehmed II, Bayezid II, Selim I, and Suleiman the Magnificent would spend a large part of their days here, and would on occasion spend the night here when there was a great deal of state business. The Privy Room’s dome was raised on the order of Sultan Selim I following his conquest of Mamluk Egypt and uses Mamluk-style honeycomb corbels. This dome is much higher than the other domes-another sign indicating the fact that this was a room used by the sultan. In the left corner of the Privy Room stands a gilded throne made of silver covered by a canopy. This throne was made in the time of Sultan Murad IV (r. 1623-40) by the court’s chief jeweler, Dervish Zıllî Mehmed who is also known as the father of famed author and traveler Evliyâ Çelebi. The throne’s canopy is done as a cavetto vault and rests on four columns. Beautiful carvings and a hadith inscription decorate it, along with a panegyric written about this particular throne by the poet Cevrî. When a prince was to be enthroned, he would first sit here before proceeding to the enthronement ceremony at the Gate of Felicity. It was also here that the grand vizier and the shaykhu’l-Islam would swear their loyalty to the sultan. Before the official ceremony, two cycles of Islamic prayer (raka`ah) would be recited here. Until the time of Mahmud II (r. 1808-39), the two faces of the throne were covered with silver grilles and the holy relics were stored here together with the drawer holding the Holy Mantle of the Prophet. Though the Privy Room is not in fact particularly large, its ceramic tile panels and imposing dome make it appear larger than it is. Inscribed in white sülüs calligraphy over a dark blue base on the tile panels is the Arab poet al-Busiri’s poem Nahja’l-Burdah (“The True Path of the Mantle”) in praise of the Prophet Muhammad. Due to the poem’s presence here in the room where the Holy Mantle of the Prophet was kept, this poem is also known as “The Panegyric of the Mantle” (Hırka Kasîdesi) in Turkish. The Holy Mantle of the Prophet, or the Mantle of Felicity (Hırka-i Saâdet), has been kept in the Privy Room ever since it was brought from Egypt following Selim I’s conquest in 1517. When the Ottoman sultans formally took on the Islamic caliphate, various holy relics continued to be brought here following the reign of Selim as well. When Topkapı Palace was abandoned in the 19th century, the Privy Room began to be used solely to house and preserve the holy relics and, over time, the entire structure became known as the Chamber of the Holy Relics (Mukaddes Emanetler Dairesi). The Privy Room is currently closed to the public.

Evidence-Based Medicine: Its Application to Laboratory Medicine
- Additional Document Info
- View All
The current health care environment of cost-cutting highlights the need to reinforce the contribution of laboratory medicine to improvement in health care. This must be a patient-focused activity using continuous quality improvement, a familiar concept in laboratory practice. Involvement in the creation of clinical practice guidelines, care maps, and outcome measures will place laboratory medicine in the circle of continuous quality improvement. The laboratory must provide strong evidence that tests contribute to better overall resource utilization. Laboratory Information Systems can be used to better integrate laboratory data with clinical, diagnostic, pharmaceutic, statistical, and financial information. Improving laboratory utilization requires clear demonstrations of appropriate versus inappropriate laboratory use, and instructions on implementing appropriate use. The education of laboratory professionals should include search strategies, understanding the diagnostic accuracy of medical tests, and the application of systematic reviews and meta-analysis. With the rapid increase in the data base supporting evidence-based laboratory medicine, there is a significant challenge in translating the existing knowledge into practice. There is also a need for a cooperative strategy between the diagnostics industry and the laboratory medicine profession to provide evidence of the added value of laboratory testing. There is a significant role in developing the academic basis of the unique aspects of evidence-based laboratory medicine.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mitt Romney has kicked off a fundraising swing through California, looking to cash in on his provisional front-runner status in the unsettled Republican presidential field.
The former Massachusetts governor has five closed-door events over three days that start Tuesday in Sacramento and will include stops in Beverly Hills, the San Francisco Bay area and Orange County.
His campaign says there are no public appearances on his schedule.
California has long served as a deep reservoir of campaign cash for national candidates. In his 2008 run for the White House, Romney raised more than $8 million in California, by far his largest haul from any state.
Romney trip started on the same day that former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman formally joined the field of Republican candidates who want to oust President Barack Obama.

Frank Lampard: Why I added Chelsea FC legends to coaching staff
New Chelsea FC manager Frank Lampard explains decision to add Claude Makelele and Didier Drogba to his coaching staff
Frank Lampard has lifted the lid on his decision to add Blues legend Didier Drogba and Claude Makelele to his Chelsea FC coaching staff.
The former England international was unveiled as the new Chelsea FC manager on Thursday after weeks of speculation linking Lampard with the role.
The 41-year-old will fill the void left by Maurizio Sarri little over a year after Lampard started his managerial career at Derby County.
The retired midfielder led the Rams to the Championship play-off final in his first season in charge before Chelsea FC lost 2-1 to Aston Villa.
Lampard is Chelsea FC’s record goal-scorer and one of the west London club’s most decorated players after an incredible haul throughout his 13-year career at Stamford Bridge.
The new Chelsea FC boss has brought former Blues midfielder Jody Morris after the pair worked together at Derby.
But Lampard has also added Drogba and Makelele to his Chelsea FC coaching staff ahead of the new Premier League season.
Speaking at his media conference on Thursday, Lampard explained his decision to appoint Drogba and Makelele to a coaching role.
“Didier, Petr and Makelele,” Lampard said.
“What I want to do is bring in people not just because they played for the club but because they feel the club and want to be here with incredible work ethic.
“Jody Morris is coming with me as assistant head coach. We have a close relationship. He has a great link with the academy, who were successful. We have a huge loyalty. Chris Jones as well, he will be with me as a coach. We know each other very well.”
Chelsea FC won the Europa League last season thanks to a 4-1 victory over Arsenal in Baku at the end of May.
The Blues finished in third spot in the Premier League table last season.

Former President & CEO, Climate Reality Project
In 2009, Maggie Fox joined The Climate Reality Project (then the Alliance for Climate Protection) to guide it through one of the defining legislative fights of the current environmental movement.
Though the effort succeeded in the U.S. House of Representatives, it was blocked in the U.S. Senate — which proved to us that more had to be done to combat the climate denial cottage-industry and to foster a true social movement for climate action.”
“Guided by that mission, The Climate Reality Project has dedicated itself to winning the cultural conversation on climate and convincing an even larger majority that urgent action is needed. We have built a robust network of 6,000 Climate Reality Leaders in 100 countries, designed innovative communication tools like the award-winning “24 Hours of Reality” series – which has grown”… “and achieved more than 20 million views worldwide in 2013. In addition, we have called out denial in revolutionary ways through groundbreaking videos and online tools. Throughout that period, Maggie has led this organization with tireless energy and keen insight from her many years of experience as an activist and organizer.”

L’Equipe claims that “with the development of a new system, with the development for a new generation of high performance tyres and the development to a more comfortable car, there are new challenges” for the 2017 Formula 1 season.
“We are currently working to prepare a more modern Formula 1 car for next year and the new tyre, the carbon, will also be a new challenge for us.”
Gros, meanwhile, believes that “in the new era of technology and the evolution of cars and technology, I think we are going to see a very exciting season for Formula 1”.
The German also believes that the new tyres will be a major contributor to the “revolution” that is going on in the sport.
“With the new carbon tyres we are developing, the revolution will be more exciting, the race will be faster, the cars will be much more exciting,” he added.
“The technology that we are creating will be very important.”
Graze and the other drivers of the championship will be working closely together to find solutions for the tyre issues, Gros believes.
“If we can solve the problem, if we are able to find the solution for the tyres, that is the only way we will be able to go forward.”
Groyne and Ligier’s new carbon-tire system “The carbon is going to be the key for this season” – Nico Gros.
Source: Gros Jnr/Getty Images Gros is confident that the carbon is “the key” for Gros’ 2017 season, but admits that it “is not quite there yet”.
“We will work to achieve that goal, and of course with the carbon the first step is to be able, of course, to get the carbon on the car,” Gros said.
“I think we have to be very, very careful because of the fact that we need to make sure that everything works in the new way.”
The new tyres, which Gros claims will be “super soft”, are being developed at the Gros-led Mercedes team in Spain.
“For the Mercedes team, with Mercedes, this will be an opportunity to develop a new tyre,” Graz told reporters.
“This is going very well.
We are looking forward to it.
We need to get to the next level.”
“We know the tyres are going faster, but there is a lot of work ahead.”
Gaudu’s driver line-up The Mercedes team have announced that their line-ups will be kept separate from the other teams.
Nico Gaudeu has been promoted to third driver in this season’s drivers’ championship race at the Hungaroring, having scored the most points in the constructors’ standings, ahead of Sebastian Vettel.
His partner in the championship is Daniel Ricciardo, who will return to the team after a year away, joining former teammate Lewis Hamilton in the top five.
“It was a really, really hard season,” Gauduin said of his season.
Gaudua, meanwhile has made an impressive debut, winning the Hungarian Grand Prix and finishing runner-up to Gros at Spa-Francorchamps.
“Today I was so happy to finish the race in a very good position.
I was able to do a great race,” Gaguer told Motorsport.com.
“But of course the most important thing is to try to keep the momentum going, because we will see in Hungary how strong we are.”
Gagu’s new team-mate, Nico Gretsch, has made his Formula 1 debut this season.
The 23-year-old German has been in the Formula Renault 2.0 series since the end of the 2015 season, with his best result being fifth at Jerez in 2016.
“There were some good things to do in Hungary,” Gretsche said.
Gretschy, however, has been left out of the drivers’ race in Hungary.
“At this moment I am not sure how it will all go down,” he said.
Mercedes’ Sebastian Viens, the other Renault driver, was also absent in Hungary due to illness.
He is currently at home recovering from a shoulder injury, which caused him to miss the entire second half of the 2017 season.
Mercedes’s next driver will be confirmed at the end.
Gros will have a number of other changes to his car, with Kimi Raikkonen and Esteban Ocon also being dropped from the championship after failing to make the start in Hungary last weekend.
“Of course it is a great honour for us to have two drivers from the same team,” Groye said.
He also admitted that he is “really happy” to be joining the team.
“Being able to work with my partner [Mercedes] will be really good for me,” Goye said, adding that he “can only dream of

New to ckbk is The Barbuto Cookbook, written by Jonathan Waxman, the renowned chef-owner of Barbuto restaurant in the West Village of Manhattan. The recipes in the book, like the cooking at the restaurant, are dedicated to California-Italian cooking – and the book is filled with dishes that exude the soul of Italy.
Waxman, a leading advocate of Cal-Ital cooking, grew up near Berkeley in California. In 1970 he gave up his career as a professional trombonist to train as a chef and enrolled in La Varenne cooking school in France to learn the ropes. When he returned to California, he landed a job working with the legendary Alice Waters at Chez Panisse before opening Jams restaurant in New York City, taking his West Coast style of cooking with him.
But what exactly is Cal-Ital cooking? No surprises that it’s a melding of Italian and Californian cuisines (the name is a bit of a giveaway…). But let’s be more specific. It’s a style of food that can be traced back to some of the earliest immigrants to the US from Italy in the 19th century.
As Andrew F. Smith writes in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, “The first lasting Italian-American communities were founded by northerners in the 19th century. … The largest groups, including some Italian-speaking Swiss and Croatians, settled in northern California, where they were involved in the early Napa Valley wineries, the San Francisco fishing fleet, and the developing agriculture of a Mediterranean-climate region in which they could grow artichokes, cardoons, olive trees, and familiar herbs.”
The crops these immigrants established became an essential part of California’s cooking landscape – and the grapevines they planted would eventually turn Napa and Sonoma into wine regions that could outshine their Italian and French forebears. Italian-American winemaking families, including the Mondavis, Gallos, and Sebastianis, helped to establish winemaking in the region. Their influence continues to this day.
Likewise, what’s become known as Cal-Ital cooking is still based on these Mediterranean ingredients brought by 19th-century immigrants. At its heart, Cal-Ital is all about simplicity, with a regard for quality ingredients that are allowed to speak for themselves. Seasonality is key, too – as is enjoying a good meal with good wine.
The next wave of immigration from Italy to the US came in the early part of the 20th century. People escaping the poverty of the south, Naples and Sicily in particular, found their way across the Atlantic, settling in urban centers across the US, establishing ‘Little Italy’ communities as they did so.
Their arrival would forever change the face of what we now think of as ‘American’ food. As Andrew F. Smith writes: “Among the six largest ethnic groups in modern America, Italian Americans were the last to arrive in substantial numbers, had the most difficult transition from rural to urban life, faced a great deal of discrimination as immigrants, retained the most of their traditional foodways, and have the most popular ethnic cuisine by every measure: restaurant meals, supermarket sales, published cookbooks, and recipes in contributed cookbooks.”
The southern Italian influence on Italian-American food is characterized by the use of lashings of tomato-based red sauce, dried pasta, and, of course, pizza of all sorts. Popularized in affordable Italian-run restaurants, this style of cooking soon conquered the nation. Just try to imagine ‘American’ food without pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, baked lasagne, gelato, tiramisu…
The roots of Cal-Ital cooking go right back to the 19th century, but the melding of the Old and New Worlds on the Golden State’s dinnerplates has never gone out of fashion. But, while Waxman namechecks Cal-Ital specifically, The Barbuto Cookbook actually features Italian-American recipes from across the US, and the whole of Italy.
Despite the ubiquity of Italian-American fare, regional differences nonetheless remain. On the East Coast, Italian-style sandwiches, originally based on workers’ lunches and called grinders, hoagies, or subs, depending on which city you’re in – are hugely popular. In New Orleans, the Italian-American sandwich of choice is the Muffuletta. Chicago, meanwhile, has its signature deep-dish pizza.
The recipes in The Barbuto Cookbook reflect this diversity. From the San Francisco Bay area comes Cioppino, a seafood stew that bears a striking resemblance to Ligurian ciuppin, from which it is believed to originate, and which was first made by Italian immigrants who worked as fishermen in the San Francisco Bay area (they made the stew from whatever was left over after the main catch was sold).
From the East Coast comes Meatballs and Polenta from Waxman’s pal Joey Campanero, who was born and bred in South Philadelphia, as well as the incomparable Clam Pizza from Pepe’s Pizza restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut – without doubt one of the best pizzerias in the country. Bucatini All’Amatriciana, meanwhile, is straight out of Lazio and Pasta Bolognese has Emilia-Romagna written all over it.
Barbuto is so much more than a typical restaurant book. As well as lending insight into the making of this iconic West Village restaurant, it gives readers an edible account of contemporary Italian-American cooking.

The City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to direct staff to bring back a report Nov. 12 with all the possible land-use options for 391 acres of farmland just east of Davis before it’s locked away in conservation forever.
Councilwoman Rochelle Swanson, who made the motion, hopes at that meeting the council can decide whether the property should be considered for a future tech-business park or if it should remain on track for permanent preservation.
“Pretending that we’re not talking about a potential for an innovation park is not genuine,” Swanson said. “We’re going to lose (local businesses looking to grow) if we don’t do something. It’s very, very serious.”
As requested by members of the council, city staff Tuesday brought a status update of the conservation process for the land, called Leland Ranch, to lay out the timeline by which the council would have to make a decision on a grant that would pay for a conservation easement. The council likely would have to take action on the easement in December.
The city acquired the property in 2010 with Measure O funds, which are property taxes earmarked for open space preservation. Later, Yolo Land Trust helped the city secure a $1.125 million grant from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service to pay for the easement.
With the potential for lucrative economic development on the site, however, it appears the council isn’t yet prepared to pass up the opportunity to at least think about its options for building a revenue-generating business park there. And the majority of the city’s leaders seemed comfortable looking into that possibility next month as long as the process is transparent and open to the public.
“I think it’s our responsibility to look at what is best for the community,” said Councilman Brett Lee. “But I would want that open and transparent discussion, and the key here is transparent. I am extremely disappointed in the way this information trickled to us as council people. I do not believe that staff upheld the high standards that we expect of them.”
While the city and Yolo Land Trust had been working toward finalizing the easement over the past few years, local business interests approached city management sometime last year with desires to potentially develop the site. With its proximity to Interstate 80 and its overall size, they saw the location as ideal for a tech-business park.
But Lee said the council wasn’t kept informed by staff about the conversations that were happening about the farmland.
“How are we supposed to make reasoned, well-informed decisions if we’re not being given the information?” Lee asked.
Nevertheless, with the issue fully out in the public realm now, the council is ready to discuss the range of options. Lee tacked on to Swanson’s motion that he would like to know why 200 acres of land would not be sufficient to house a business park.
If the city accepted the conservation easement for the 391-acre property, the next step for a business park likely would be roughly 200 acres of privately owned land near the Mace/I-80 interchange. But city officials have said a 400-acre business park would be ideal for the local economy.
“I understand the need for a business park to retain the businesses, but I don’t have a sense of the size necessary,” Lee said.
Council members also stressed the importance of learning whether Yolo Land Trust would be negatively impacted by the city turning down the grant for the easement.
“If there’s any type of long-term harm that’s going to come to the Yolo Land Trust should the city go with some of these other options, I’m going to have a hard time at the end of the day supporting any of those other options,” Mayor Pro Tem Dan Wolk said.
Councilman Lucas Frerichs said, while he’s not yet sold on the idea of developing the property into a business park, he believes it’s important to engage the public on this issue of open space versus economic development.
“We need to engage the public on this,” Frerichs said. “I take partial responsibility that we did not engage the public on this and now we’re in this situation where (it’s an) essential Catch-22. We feel like we’re rushed, doing something in haste, and that’s quite frustrating.”
But Mayor Joe Krovoza, the lone dissenting vote on the motion, vehemently disagreed with the rest of the council members about the public process.
Krovoza said the city spent three years discussing the easement on the property and, concurrently, discussing sites for potential business park space through the city’s innovation park task force.
“That was the outstanding public planning process,” Krovoza said. “If everybody wasn’t tracking on it exactly, I apologize, but there were many, many checkpoints.”
The mayor also said he believes preserving the 391 acres is the appropriate use for the farmland considering the high quality of the soil, in addition to a potential for the space to complement an agriculture-tech business park on the adjacent 200-acre property.
