Dubai: A new player has entered the lucrative Saudi school transport market in the shape of the newly formed Saudi-Emirati Transport Company, an equally owned venture between the Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) and Emirates Transport (ET).
News of the new enterprise was announced Tuesday on the website of the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) Company.
The Saudi-Emirati Transport Company, which will be based in Riyadh, was registered under a 50/50 share basis between the two companies and a start-up capital of 100,000 Saudi Riyals (Dh97,927).
Officials say the initial core business of the new company will focus on providing school transport services to public and private sector schools, with scope for future expansion into other transport-related services.
The agreement to form the company was signed on Tuesday by Engineer Khalid Al Hogail, Board Member and CEO of SAPTCO, and Mohammad Abdullah Al Jarman, General Manager of ET.
Engineer Al Hogail said the considerable combined technical and operational expertise of the respective two partners will ensure the new company will have a major impact on the huge Saudi school transport market.
ET general manager, Mohammad Al Jarman, expressed his delight and excitement at the new partnership.
He said: “We’re looking forward to the opportunity of bringing our long-standing experience in transport, and school transport in particular, to a new market and we will work very hard to ensure the new company will achieve the highest international standards and become a role model in the field.”

Community-acquired pneumonia: pneumococcal vaccine
Community-acquired pneumonia is an important threat to the health of older people, as well as others with high-risk conditions. Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a major cause of pneumonia.
Focus of the review
Summarising the evidence to help prevent community-acquired pneumonia is relevant clinically and for public health. Vaccination is a potentially important strategy to prevent pneumonia and, therefore, summarising the evidence in support of this intervention is worthwhile.
Comments on evidence
Evidence from clinical trials helps to inform policy as it pertains to vaccination for prevention of pneumonia.
Search and appraisal summary
The update literature search for this overview was carried out from the date of the last search, January 2010, to April 2014. For more information on the electronic databases searched and criteria applied during assessment of studies for potential relevance to the overview, please see the Methods section. Searching of electronic databases retrieved 651 studies. After deduplication and removal of conference abstracts, 403 records were screened for inclusion in the overview. Appraisal of titles and abstracts led to the exclusion of 348 studies and the further review of 55 full publications. Of the 55 full articles evaluated, eight systematic reviews and one RCT were added at this update. In addition, one RCT was added to the Comment section.
An influential RCT was published in 2015, the CAPITA trial, in adults aged 65 years and older. As this was after the search date of this overview, it has been included in the relevant Comment section. This RCT demonstrated benefit of a conjugate pneumococcal vaccine in preventing community-acquired pneumonia due to vaccine strains of pneumococcus.
Substantive changes at this update
INTRODUCTION: In the Northern Hemisphere about 12/1000 people per year (on average) contract pneumonia while living in the community, with most cases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. Mortality ranges from about 5% to 35% depending on severity of disease, with a worse prognosis in older people, men, and people with chronic diseases. METHODS AND OUTCOMES: We conducted a systematic overview, aiming to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of pneumococcal vaccine to prevent community-acquired pneumonia? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to April 2014 (BMJ Clinical Evidence overviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this overview). RESULTS: At this update, searching of electronic databases retrieved 651 studies. After deduplication and removal of conference abstracts, 403 records were screened for inclusion in the overview. Appraisal of titles and abstracts led to the exclusion of 348 studies and the further review of 55 full publications. Of the 55 full articles evaluated, eight systematic reviews and one RCT were added at this update. In addition, one RCT was added to the Comment section. We performed a GRADE evaluation for five PICO combinations. CONCLUSIONS: In this systematic overview, we categorised the efficacy for two intervention based on information about the effectiveness and safety of conjugated vaccine and polysaccharide vaccine.

Maroons, fugitive slaves in the European colonies in the West Indies and in Guiana, who banded together in the forests and mountains and for a long time maintained their freedom. The origin of the word is uncertain, it being derived, according to one etymology, from the Spanish marrano, "wild hog," these fugitives subsisting at first chiefly by hunting that animal; according to another, from simaran or cimar-ron, which signifies both an ape and a wild man; and by still a third derivation, from Maroni, a river Which separates French from Dutch Guiana, where large numbers of them resided. They are especially celebrated in the history of Jamaica. On the conquest of that island from the Spaniards by the English in 1055, most of the Spanish slaves, about 1,500 in number, fled to the mountains, whence they kept up a guerilla warfare against the whites. Their ranks were continually recruited by runaways; and they became so troublesome that in 1663 the governor. Sir Charles Lyttleton, issued a proclamation offering pardon, freedom, and 20 acres of land to such as should surrender; but it does not appear that any of them accepted the terms offered. The colonial assembly in the course of 40 years passed 44 acts against them, and expended £240,000 in vain efforts for their subjugation.
In 1730 they had become so formidable, under a very able general named Cudjoe, that all the militia of the colony and two regiments of regular troops were sent against them. But after seven years' war they were still unsubdued, and in 1737 the colonial assembly imported Indians and bloodhounds from Spanish America to aid in their suppression. Even these failed, however, and at length Gen. Trelawny, the British governor, made overtures of peace to the black chiefs; and on March 1, 1738, the Maroons agreed to a treaty which provided: '-First, that all hostilities shall cease on both sides for ever; secondly, that the said Captain Cudjoe, the rest of his captains, adherents, and men, shall be for ever hereafter in a perfect state of freedom and liberty; thirdly, that they shall enjoy and pos-sess, for themselves and posterity for ever, all the land situated and lying between Trelawny-town and the Cockpits, to the amount of 1,500 aeres." Besides the arable land thus given them for cultivation, the Maroons had for their hunting grounds the whole mountainous interior of the island. Their game was the wild boar, which abounds in the mountains.
They had a method of curing the flesh without salt-ing it. and they sold large quantities of it to, the whites, and by this traffic kept themselves well supplied with firearms and ammunition. There were no further hostilities until July 1795, when a portion of them known as the Trelawnytown Maroons rose in insurrection in consequence of two of their young men baving been publicly whipped by" the authorities for stealing The island was put under martial law, although the government bad a force of 1,500 regular troops and several thousand militia After numerous unsuccessful attempts to subdue them, Gen. Walpole by great efforts brought them to be willing to listen to overtures of peace, and suppressed the rebellion in March, 1790. About 000 of them surrendered on assurances of liberty and good treatment, but were perfidiously placed in confinement, and in June following shipped to Nova Scotia, whence in 1800 they were transported to Sierra Leone. Those who remained in Jamaica maintained their independence; but since the abolition of slavery in the island they have to a great extent intermingled with the mass of the colored population.
In 1835 it was officially reported that in four of their settlements in Jamaica there were 270 families, or about 1,500 persons. (See Jamaica.) - In the Dutch colony of Surinam, in South America, a band of Maroons was formed at a very early period of the colony in the forests of the interior, but they did not become formidable till about 1720, when they had acquired by pillage lances and firearms. They settled on the upper part of the river Saramaca, and were consequently soon known as Saramaca negroes. Several detachments of soldiers and militia having been sent against them without much success, the authorities in 1730 undertook to terrify them into submission by executing eleven of them who had been taken prisoners. One man was hanged alive by an iron hook stuck through his ribs, two others were burned alive, six women were broken upon the wheel, and two girls were beheaded. These cruelties, however, only enraged the Maroons, and their incursions became so troublesome to the colonists that the government at length resorted to negotiation, and a treaty of peace was formally concluded in 1749, between the governor of Surinam and the Maroon chief, Captain Adoe. From some misunderstanding between the parties, this truce was not of long continuance, and fresh revolts broke out among the slaves on the Ouca river, so that in a few years the colony was reduced to the greatest distress by their incursions; and in 1757, after being defeated by the negroes in several encounters, the Dutch again sued for peace.
After a long negotiation and four different embassies from the Europeans, a treaty was concluded in 1701, by which the Ouca and Saramaca Maroons were admitted to be free and independent, and the colony agreed to pay them an annual allowance to secure their friendship. After some years a revolt occurred among the negroes on the Cotica river, which gained such force in 1772 that the colonists were forced to abandon their plantations and take refuge in Paramaribo until assistance arrived from Holland. A force of 1,200 Dutch troops, assisted by several hundred negroes liberated and armed for the purpose, at length drove the Maroons back to the woods. With additional troops from Holland a systematic attempt was now made to subdue the Maroons, but without success; and at the end of a Avar which lasted several years the colonial government withdrew from the contest. The Maroons at that time were about 15,000 in number. In 1831 they had increased to 70,000, and at present they are still more numerous. They form an independent republic, with laws and customs of their own.
Christianity has made little progress among them, and their language is a jargon of African and European tongues intermingled. - For an account of the Maroons of Jamaica, see Bryan Edwards, "History of the West Indies," and Dallas, " History of the Maroons;" and for the Maroons of Surinam, see Stedman's " Surinam".

Colombia took once step closer to the legalisation of gay marriage today when the First Committee of the Senate approved the bill that enshrines the rights of two people of the same sex to wed.
In what could turn out as the first stage of a hugely important victory for the LGBT community, the First Committee members voted resoundingly in favour of the proposal by 10 votes to 5. The sponsor of the bill, Senator Armando Benedetti, stated that “in this country homosexuals have economic and social security rights, so it is time to advance toward marital rights.”
In an unsubtle taunt towards opponents of the bill, Senator Luis Carlos Avellaneda Tarazona of the Alternative Democratic Pole stated that “being gay is not a contagious disease as many want to claim”, and that “equity and equality” was at stake.
Among the most outspoken of these opponents has been Colombia Conservative Party Senator Roberto Gerlein, whose branding of sex between two males as “dirty, filthy and excremental” and as a “condition” resulted in the postponing of the debate on the bill when it was first in front of the Committee two weeks ago.
Gerlein, who has since apologised somewhat reluctantly for his remarks, was among the five who voted against the proposal.
Also in opposition was Conservative Senator Eduardo Enriquez Maya, who criticised the Constitutional Court’s ruling that Congress must legislate on this matter by 2013, whilst Senator Edgar Espindola of the far-right National Integration Party added that the Court had “usurped the functions of Congress.”
The vote was the first of four tricky hurdles that the bill must pass before it becomes law, with the next stage being a plenary vote in the Senate before it goes in front of the House of Representatives.

Yorkshire Coast Homes has a new look in time for the New Year – the housing association is changing how it operates and how it looks.
All repairs are now being completed by a workforce managed directly by Yorkshire Coast Homes (YCH) which manages hundreds of homes across Whitby and district.
To coincide with this change, the staff will also have a new look as they will be displaying the new Yorkshire Coast Homes logo and brand that launched on Monday.
A spokesman said while it is an exciting time of change for Yorkshire Coast Homes, it says services will continue to be provided for customers as before.
Over the coming months however they should experience enhanced customer service as new ways of working take effect across the company.
This will include a system whereby customers will only have to contact one person to handle their housing queries, and more streamlined repairs procedures will take effect.
Shaun Tymon, chief executive of YCH said “This is a new era for Yorkshire Coast Homes.
“Over the last few years we’ve made great leaps to improve the services customers receive whilst playing an ever increasing role in our communities.
“The new look for Yorkshire Coast Homes identifies with both the bricks and mortar side of the business as well as the vital people and community work that we do.
“It also reflects the people we have working here and the areas we work in by being bright and vibrant and should become easily identifiable for our customers across the borough over the coming weeks and months.”

Rush doesn’t like GM, whom he calls Obama Motors. GM is unionized, from a state with two Democratic Senators, and bailed out by the Obama Administration. So when GM came out with the Volt and Motor Trend magazine named it their 2011 car of the year, Rush was incredulous. How dare Motor Trend not share his bias against GM!
Rush questioned the integrity of Motor Trend and one of the magazine’s editors, Todd Lassa, responded:
Assuming you’ve been anywhere near the biggest automotive technological breakthrough since … I don’t know, maybe the self-starter, could you even find your way to the front seat? Or are you happy attacking a car that you’ve never even seen in person?
Just remember: driving and Oxycontin don’t mix.
Ouch! That’s going to leave a mark.
But Rush is a bully, and a bully is not going to take this lying down. I wish Todd Lassa good luck, he’s going to need it.

What Your Super Bowl Cravings Say About Your Personality
We asked you a few weeks ago what your favorite Super Bowl snack was and most of you said wings, any chip dip, followed by pizza. Whatever your favorite Super Bowl food is, there's a new study showing what the foods say about your personality. For example, if you love those buffalo wings, you are a perfectionist.
If you love the salty foods like chips and fries then you are very laid back and easy-going. I love pizza at any type of party and not just Super Bowl, but apparently this means you're a depressed person. I would have to disagree with this one because I love pizza and I'm not a depressed person!
The study also says if you go for the veggies at the party then you are a control freak. Or maybe you're just trying to balance eating healthy and not so healthy at the party. So, what are your favorite Super Bowl snacks?

text: The avian influenza pandemic remains a threat to public health, as the avian-origin influenza A(H7N9) virus has caused a lot more than 1,560 laboratory-confirmed human being infections since 2013, with nearly 40% mortality. NA functions, resulted from reduced HA binding to both human- and avian-type receptors, and thus facilitated NA-mediated virus release. Our findings revealed that a single amino acid mutation at residue 218 of the HA improved the growth of A(H7N9) influenza virus by balancing HA and NA functions, shedding light on an alternative approach for optimizing certain influenza CVVs. IMPORTANCE The circulating avian influenza A(H7N9) has caused recurrent epidemic waves with high mortality in China since 2013, in which the alarming fifth wave crossing 2016 and 2017 was highlighted by a large number of human infections and the emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H7N9) strains in human cases. We generated low-pathogenic reassortant CVVs derived from the emerging A(H7N9) with improved virus replication and protein yield in both MDCK cells and eggs by introducing a single substitution, G218E, into HA, which was associated with reducing HA receptor binding and subsequently balancing HA-NA functions. The and experiments demonstrated comparable antigenicity of the G218E CVVs with Rabbit Polyclonal to RAN that of their wild-type (WT) counterparts, and both the WT and the G218E CVVs fully protected ferrets from parental HPAI virus challenge. With high yield traits and the anticipated antigenicity, the G218E CVVs should benefit preparedness against the threat of an A(H7N9) influenza pandemic. 0.05; ** 0.001 (two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni posttest). Association of G218E in HA with MDCK adaptation and improved growth of H7 viruses. Sequencing analysis of NL12ad revealed two amino acid substitutions in HA, G218E and K328R (H3 numbering). No mutation was identified in NA. To identify the substitution responsible for the MDCK adaptation, we generated 7:1 (H7N1) reassortants rgNL12WT, rgNL12-G218E, rgNL12-K328R, and rgNL12-G218E/K328R. The rgNL12-G218E formed large plaques with sizes similar to that formed by rgNL12-G218E/K328R, while the plaque size of rgNL12-K328R was identical to that shaped by rgNL12WT (data not really shown). Furthermore, the multiple-step development curves of rgNL12-G218E/K328R and rgNL12-G218E had been identical, and rgNL12-K328R exhibited development kinetics just like those of rgNL12WT (data not really demonstrated), indicating that G218E was the determinant substitution for the NL12ad phenotype. Predicated on the hereditary and antigenic similarity between your Offers of NL12 and SH2, we released G218E in to the HA from the low-yield A(H7N9) CVV rgSH2. In contract using the G218E phenotype in NL12, rgSH2-G218E outgrew rgSH2WT in both MDCK cells and eggs significantly. rgSH2-G218E shaped huge plaques and replicated better in MDCK cells (Fig. 1B). The full total viral protein produce of rgSH2-G218E improved by 92.5% in MDCK cells and 154% in eggs in comparison to that of the wild-type counterpart (Fig. 1D and ?andEE). The HPAI GD17 surfaced in the 5th wave was progressed from the low-pathogenic A(H7N9) but reacted badly to ferret antiserum induced by SH2. Aligned with SH2 HA, GD17 HA offers 12 amino acidity substitutions as well as the insertion from the multibasic cleavage site, including S127N in antigenic site A, L226Q in the receptor-binding site (RBS) and antigenic site D (11), and A134V that was related to antigenic drift (12). In the meantime, R292K, a mutation related to neuraminidase inhibitor (NAi) level of PD184352 cost resistance (13), was determined PD184352 cost PD184352 cost in GD17 NA. Consequently, we generated the low-pathogenic A(H7N9) CVV rgGD17 through the HPAI GD17WT by detatching the multibasic theme in HA PD184352 cost and presenting K292R in NA. rgGD17 grew poorly in both eggs and MDCK cells also. Similarly, we introduced G218E in to the HA of rgGD17 and achieved improved virus growth in both MDCK cells (68 significantly.3% increase, Fig. 1C and ?andD)D) and eggs (170% increase, Fig. 1E) compared to rgGD17. Antigenicity and protection of ferrets from HPAI H7N9 contamination. As shown in Fig. 2A, the amino acid at position 218 of H7 HA is located in the putative antigenic site D.

DUAL CALIPER BRACKETS
Very highly recommended very nice piece and definitely makes the rear end solid!!!
i received the item! Thank you very much for shipping me quickly.
One of the best quality in the market
The steering wheel arrived fast box was in good condition and the steering wheel is mint! Looks super good
These things are awesome! The price of these including full calipers and pads is incredible, good luck finding anything better. (Just a little tip for any C6 guys, I swapped my rear wheel hubs to 2006 Cadillac CTS (base model V6) hubs and you then can run 5x115 wheels Vs standard 5x120, if anyone cares to know.) I definitely reccomend these to anyone for simplicity and ease of install purpose. Can’t wait to use them this season!
Absolutely beautiful pieces, look like great quality, can’t wait to get them painted and mounts 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This guys know their stuff. Completely satisfied with products.
Received my order as described. Driffhq was able to help source a set of gktech rear brake upgrade for my s14 from Australia since the US did not stock any.
You guys are the best. I will always recommend your business. Customer service and the experience is above and beyond. Wish you the best
Sticker or diagram to show which side faces flywheel...
This almost sounds silly... but it's not as obvious as it seems, especially after installing a bunch of Nissan clutches. I ended up putting it on the wrong way the first time, luckily it wouldn't allow the trans to sit flush because the input shaft bracket would hit the "nose" on the clutch disc, otherwise I'm sure it would have welded itself to the input shaft sleeve.
I've seen many manufacturers have small little sticker that says "Flywheel side," could save people some trouble. Just a suggestion!
Other than that.. Clutch works perfectly!!
10/10 quality looks great, easy to install, easy to adjust and great price. I highly recommend this for anyone trying to get rid of the stock flimsy camber arms.
This brake booster delete is a must for anyone trying to clean up their engine bay, the pedal feels amazing, not hard like many would think. 10/10 solid upgrade
10/10, my steering feels so much better now and shipping was fast. Communication is great, highly recommend drifthq for all your needs.
Quality Product, gets the job done.
Excellent product for drifting and enjoyed its installation but lacks a small installation manual
The ones I originally ordered were out of stock and they upgraded them to get them to me ontime
I imported an e30 wagon from Germany and imported a 1jz non vvti from Japan and wanted to build my dream car . I still wanted to use a bmw transmission and did some research and found that the guys at Drifthq had the adapter/flywheel setup I needed . I called them up and they had it in stock and got in to me in 2 DAYS !! The customer service and dedication from the entire team is why I will continue to buy anything I need from them . Great work guys !
The mantis angle kit is amazing , doesn’t snap like pbm and is much smoother then gktech Also cheaper then wisefab .If I had another z I’d buy the mantis all over again!
These wheels got to my house so quick, if you think amazon prime is fast, just wait! They were exactly what I wanted.
Excellent service. Will recommend drift hq anytime. Owner goes out of the way to fulfill orders.
Finally! I have been dog to. Order a kit like this, last company I tried to work with jerked me around for months and I got nothing to show for it. I emailed DriftHQ and they responded right away and helped me pick exactly what I needed to finish my build. Parts came in quickly and they look so good all my car buddies blown away especially for the price. I plan on assembling it after thanksgiving when I get a little time off work and then I will give my final review. Thanks again!
Both vents look great, easy to form and work with. Thanks Todd
Really nice kit for the money. On the E46 chassis the kit does give you a lot of camber between the extended arms and angle adapters combined. If you have camber plates you can dial some of it out but it will push the wheels further out.
Man they ain’t playin when they say “compact” this thing is so compact & quality made on top!!! This is definitely A1!!!
I dont received the rigth one . I order the orange one.
I would like To have the orange one . You can see it have no paint and no finish work. Im waiting for tour answer
These fuel rails are extremely well made, and easy to install. Shipping was fast and easy and Drift HQ was very helpful in coordinating my order.
Hydro ebrake lines fit perfect and were delivered lickity split. 😜
They have not arrived yet
So well designed it’s like a Trojan ultra thin condom
It’s like nothing’s there and keeps ya well protected
super fast shipping , great product highly recommend.
easy to deal with, let me know there will be a delay, came earlier then the delayed time
All as mint as can be
All the angle!!!!
Fits like a glove!
Easy to install, and plenty of angle to get down at the track. 1st event was at usdriftcircuit. Kit worked flawless and buying from drifthq was awesome. Got my kit super fast. 😬👍
I always recognize solid customer service. They deserved this review!

With the NBA Draft just days away, Foot Locker is once again having some fun with the event, this time featuring two hot prospects, Trae Young and LiAngelo Ball, along with comedian Reggie Couz–as stars of their own infomercials.
“We’re coming off a very hot and exciting NBA season,” says Patrick Walsh, Foot Locker’s vice president of marketing, “and we wanted to continue our legacy of bringing some humor to the draft spots.”
Called “One and done,” this year’s campaign hinges on both players’ gap years, poking fun at their short “one-and-done” collegiate and overseas careers. And for the first time, the retailer is using the draft to introduce limited-edition apparel, from streetwear designer Don C.
Foot Locker’s previous draft campaigns have starred NFL quarterback Tom Brady, faux-fuming about Deflategate, and comedian Tracy Morgan.
The spots are aimed at the retailer’s core audience of basketball and sneaker fans, all the way up to post-college age. And while it’s likely none of these kids have ever seen an actual infomercial (any more than they’ve handled a rotary phone,) “’80s and ’90s culture is hot right now,” Walsh tells Marketing Daily. “And while the rest of the world might be upset about fake news, these kids are having fun with fakeness.”
While it’s not as big as the back-to-school season, the NBA Draft still figures prominently in the sneaker world’s calendar. “This is the beginning of what we call summer basketball,” he says. “It’s when players are in summer leagues, developing their game.”
The spots also introduce limited-edition apparel that, like Ball and Young, is only available for one time. The campaign includes an
in-the-moment buying mechanism on Instagram, opening sales when the spots go live on Foot Locker’s YouTube and Instagram channels. Foot Locker says it plans to drop more content and clothing
later in the week.
While Foot Locker has been having its struggles of late, it surprised observers with an unexpected jump in profits in its most recent quarterly results, released last month. And revenues rose 1.2% to $2.03 billion, while same-store sales slipped 2.8%.
Crediting more selection, CEO Richard Johnson told investors the chain is rebounding. “With the strength of our strategic vendor partnerships and our central position in youth culture,” he says in its announcement, “we continue to believe that we are poised to inflect to positive comparable-store sales growth as we progress through the year.”

Static stability calculation involves the analysis of aperiodic stability, as well as the oscillation stability. The study of aperiodic stability is based on the weighting calculation which allows to determine the station generating capacity limits, power transmission lines capacity, and allowable voltage in network nodes.
In DAKAR, the study of oscillation static stability is implemented using two methods: dynamic and modal. This approach allows
a comprehensive study of the stability of modern power systems:

Virologists have recently discovered a giant virus, much like the mythical monster- Medusa, that can turn amoebas into "stone". The discovery of the Medusavirus holds clues to more complex life. This virus infects a species of amoeba known as Acanthamoeba Castellanii, and causes it to develop a hard stony shell. Researchers have discovered that DNA replication occurred in the nucleus of the host amoeba and evidence of exchange of genetic information between both the host and virus was observed. It was also discovered that the Medusavirus contains some of the complex protein building blocks of eukaryotes. Scientists have even stated that, "genomics research of the giant virus indicates that there is likely a relationship between the Medusavirus and the origin of eukaryotic life." Viruses are classified based on how they generate mRNA to produce proteins and genetic material. The Medusavirus is a nucleocytoplasmic large DNA virus. Unlike most viruses, it contains genes that encode for proteins that involve DNA packaging. This virus has a full set of histones, which are proteins that help keep the DNA folded within the nucleus. This was very strange to scientists considering viruses do not contain a nucleus. This could mean the virus acquired the histones during coevolution. This could mean that the Medusa virus is a family all on its own. Overall, I think this is a beneficial discovery that can help better understand the virus genome and better equip ourselves with possible vaccines.
A new giant virus may help scientists better understand the emergence of complex life.

As part of our Sarasota Film Festival coverage, we wanted to highlight films with local ties, whether the connection was a film's director, producers, actors or setting. Feature film "Paradise, Fl" has all of the above.
Executive producer, screenwriter and FSU/Asolo Conservatory graduate Tony Stopperan teamed up with director and Ringling alum Nick Morgulis and co-producers Victor Young, May Todd and Shaun Greenspan and Edward Fagan, of TriForce Pictures, to bring to life Stopperan's story of two oyster fisherman struggling with addiction, parenthood and making ends meet.
Filmed last summer in Sarasota with six FSU/Asolo Conservatory-trained actors and a crew of 17 Ringling College students and recent graduates, the filmed will enjoy its premiere at 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Sarasota Opera House.
We spoke with director Nick Morgulis about the film, his upcoming projects and the future of Sarasota's film industry.
How does it feel to premiere your film in a city you called home for at least four years?
It feels great to be premiering in the place where this all came together. We had so much community support that made this film possible, and it's great to show off all the hard work we put into this. I'm really proud of this movie. Every step of the way, I was really happy with the experience. We're really happy to be playing at the Sarasota Opera House and that the Sarasota Film Festival is giving us the opportunity to show the movie.
Did you ever expect to be premiering one of your films at the Sarasota Film Festival?
When I was a student at Ringling, I thought it would be awesome to be able to show a movie at the Sarasota Film Festival. It's a prestigious festival, and I'm really happy they got the movie and we're able to show it.
What makes Sarasota a good place to film a movie?
Before I even went to Ringling, I was really amazed with the beautiful scenery and great places to shoot for films. You can't get this if you're shooting somewhere else; it's really unique and beautiful.
I shot a lot of projects here in film school, so I was able to scout the area and know what to look for with this movie. We filmed all over Sarasota, but we shot a lot in Cortez, which is a really kind of preserved small fishing village.
People talk a lot about the struggles of making movies in a smaller town, like Sarasota. What was your approach?
I think from my perspective, I just want to make movies. We have a giant talent pool here, between the FSU/Asolo Conservatory and the students at Ringling, not to mention all the other creative people who live here. The problem a lot of people see is that a lot of these talented people are going to leave and make movies somewhere else.
If we want to make movies in Sarasota, we just have to start doing it. If you're waiting for funding to just happen, or for every scenario to be perfect, it's not going to be the answer. You just have to go out and do it until we can prove that it works.
When a big project comes in from outside, that's good for the economy in the short term, but it's not creating a community or anything sustainable; it's just using Sarasota as a setting. We can jumpstart that community by having a few films come out of here.
What kind of example do you think "Paradise, Fl" can set for other local filmmakers?
I think there are a lot of great filmmakers in the area, and I was lucky enough to team up with a few great producers and show off my vision as a director and Tony Stopperan's talents as a writer and producer, as well as Brandon D. Hyde as a cinematographer. I think we showed that our crew and actors can make a high-quality product with a great story using a cast and crew all available here in Sarasota. You just have to go out and do it.
How has this film furthered your career, and what does it mean for the future of Sarasota's filmmaking industry?
Tony Stopperan and House of John Productions and Victor Young with Media Management Global have started a feature film venture capital fund of $2 million, slated for four projects, and hopefully some of those could happen in Sarasota.
I've started developing a show with a major network; I just pitched it, and it's still in talks. I have a documentary called "Big Daddy Autism." There's an NPR story coming up about it and a few Huffington Post articles. It's the story of a sole-custody dad with a 15-year-old nonverbal son, and it sheds light on a topic a lot of people are talking about now and an inside look at a family of two people who absolutely need each other to survive.
I have two scripts I co-wrote that are being shopped around that I hope to film in Sarasota. That would be great. I'm writing two more that are a little more abstract. I also went on tour with a band called Kongos to shoot a documentary of their world tour, so I'm kind of doing a bunch of things at once.
Working on this film really reaffirmed that this is what I should be doing. I really like working with actors and creating something with other people. I get to explore and discover things about people and myself and use film as way to do it.
What are you most excited for about the premiere this weekend?
I want to share it with a lot of people who supported it and really didn’t even know what they were getting into when decide to help us. Now that we're done, I'm happy to show it to them and everyone who put in the hard work during those seven weeks in 100 degree weather. Thanks to them, we were able to tell this story about two oyster fisherman who have a lot of problems. It's a tragic, beautiful and gritty movie about people doing their best to make it in this world.
What do you hope people take away from the film?
For me, I know a movie is good if I'm still thinking about it afterward. I know people are going to be entertained and a little surprised. I think we told a beautiful story, so hopefully people can go on a ride for hour and half come out on the other side with a new perspective or look around the world with fresh eyes. And I hope it sticks with them.
I'm really proud of everyone who worked on this movie. I'm excited about the future of Sarasota, and I'm positive and hopeful that things are going in the right direction. We have a lot of people in this area working on a lot of great projects, and I think it's time to show what we can do.

For All Your Bathroom Remodeling Needs
We all start our day in the bathroom. And a well-designed and functional bathroom makes that time more enjoyable.
Whether you are getting ready for the day, or just taking a long soak in the tub at the end of the day, a freshly remodeled bathroom is one investment you will definitely appreciate for years to come.
Popular Houston Bathroom Remodeling Ideas
There are many options to enhancing your bathroom space. Here are some of the most popular:
Double Sinks – One of the best things you can do is to add a double sink if you currently only have a single sink. Of course it will require more counter space so you will need to have a space large enough to accommodate a 2nd sink.
Countertops – Replacing those old countertops will change the look and feel of the bathroom dramatically. Popular options are the granite, marble, stainless steel, solid surface, concrete, ceramic tile, and laminate.
Walk-in Tubs – This option is becoming increasingly popular as the population ages. They cut down on the risk of hip injuries due to falls and look great cosmetically.
Frameless Shower Doors – Another popular upgrade. The frameless shower doors eliminate the metal tracks that are hard to clean and over time start to show wear. By using a good glass cleaner, the shower doors will look new for years to come.
Flooring – You may want to consider updating your flooring to match your new look bathroom.
Backsplash and Shower Tile – A really popular item to update is the ceramic tile backsplashes and the shower stalls. This is especially true if you still have the old 4×4 tile squares from the 70’s.
New Toilet – A must for any bath renovation in Houston.
New Faucets and Shower Heads – Replacing faucets and shower heads to match the lighting fixtures gives a nice clean look. Also eliminates those ugly old faucets with the calcium build up on them.
Paint – No bathroom renovation would be complete without a fresh coat of paint.
Important Considerations When Updating Your Bathroom
Careful planning is important when you are going to do any kind of home renovation. Without a clear idea of what you are trying to accomplish, costs can get out of hand real quick.
Some key tips to help you with your bathroom remodeling design stage:
- Set a reasonable budget. It is important to know how much you want to spend on the project. Without this discipline, it is easy to upgrade the countertops, and then decide to upgrade the flooring, and then you think to yourself “I really like those custom faucets fixtures I saw at the plumbing supply store”. Before you know it, you’ve blown your budget to bits. If you are aware that every one of these little upgrades adds to the cost, and you are ok with that, then great…go for it. But if you have a hard budget in mind, stick to the design plan.
- Have a well thought out bathroom design plan. If you have a well thought out design plan, then it is easy to stick to the budget. However, if you do part of the work, and then decide you want to change it up, it will cost a lot more to fix. Look at magazines or at online sources like houzz.com for great bathroom remodeling ideas.
- Materials for the project. Decide on the look and quality of materials before the project begins. If budget allows, you can also bring in an interior designer to help you choose such options as countertop and paint colors.
- Choose a professional home remodeling company. Only work with a remodeling contractor that offers a warranty and ensures that all of their work meets local and national codes. Too many homeowners fall victim to shady companies that do shoddy work and then cannot be found to come and fix the mess they have made.
For more important tips about home remodeling you can visit the National Association of Home Builders site.

Did you know that making a bleach spray shirt is super simple? I didn’t either! But now. Look out world. I am bleaching all the things! This started when I had some misprinted labels and hated throwing them out. Guess what? Extra labels? Misprinted labels? They are perfect for this project! This post is sponsored by Online Labels however all projects and opinions are my own.
Start with a plain tshirt you love (I washed mine first just to be safe). You will also need a spray bottle and some bleach. Plus your labels in a shape that you love. I used extra triangle labels from a project. Some were misprinted and some were just extra. Online Labels has labels in every shape you can imagine so let your imagination run wild with this project and make a dozen or so shirts.
Start by sticking your labels right to the shirt in any pattern that you choose. I did a “falling” pattern with my triangles. Note that I also added cardboard in between the front and back of my shirt. I would highly recommend you do this as well. NOTE: You can do this project with kids however they need to be older. This is BLEACH! Wear old clothes and always use caution.
Now it is time to fill your spray bottle with straight bleach and get to spraying. I followed the tutorial over at Practically Functional for the spraying technique including her tips for blotting with paper towels. I found it super easy and helpful to follow so I decided to just link y’all to that for the tips and tricks and this stage of the project. Click here to get the instructions on spraying your shirt with bleach. I obviously spraying my entire shirt with bleach and just left the labels areas alone. You can do this method or something like Jessi’s where just around your mask is bleached. This shirt is YOUR creation so do it however you would like!
Once you follow those amazing instructions, you are left with a one of a kind amazing creation to wear out and about. Which size and shape of label will you use to make your own bleach spray shirt? Be sure to order you labels from Online Labels for this project or place an order for another project and use the extras for this one! This post is sponsored by Online Labels however all projects and opinions are my own.

New England Aquarium Rescues, Nurses and Releases 655-Pound Leatherback Sea Turtle
Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
A 655-pound leatherback sea turtle, a member of the largest reptile species in the world, has been released back into the ocean off Cape Cod after marine scientists at Boston´s New England Aquarium nursed it back to health.The turtle, measuring a staggering 7 feet long, was treated for dehydration and shock, after it was found stranded near the tip of the cape in Truro last Wednesday just before dark. Scientists said the endangered specimen was underweight and lethargic, and had sustained an injury to its left front flipper.
After a few days in the care of aquarium staff, the turtle regained its strength and was released off Harwichport on Saturday.
Connie Merigo, the aquarium´s rescue director, said the turtle was spotted by a staff member of the Massachusetts Audubon Society at Pamet Harbor as high tide approached. The aquarium was alerted and staff and volunteers, along with help from the Audubon Society and International Fund for Animal Welfare staff, brought the turtle to the aquarium´s Animal Care Center in Quincy by Thursday morning.
The staff discovered the sea turtle was about 100 pounds underweight and had low blood sugar, as well as the damaged flipper. The turtle was given a sugar solution by injection, plus vitamin and mineral supplements, steroids, and antibiotics to stave off infections, according to the aquarium´s head veterinarian Dr. Charles Innis.
“We were fairly aggressive with this turtle because we have not been successful the last two leatherbacks we´ve had,” Innis said.
In the last 40 years, the New England Aquarium has only encountered five leatherbacks on shore. One died shortly after release back into the ocean, and another died on the beach as aquarium staff tried to care for it. The other two, rescued in 2005 and 2011, were taken to the aquarium for care and neither survived as well.
One of the problems with caring for these giant reptiles, is the fact they are open-sea creatures and do not grasp the concept of barriers. In other words, they do not encounter walls in their native surroundings, and putting leatherbacks in a tank does not bode well for them.
To keep the sea turtle from repeatedly crashing into the pool walls, staff wrapped a large harness around it that allowed a handler to steer the turtle away from the pool edges. In the wild, these magnificent beasts do not encounter barriers they cannot swim around.
“They´re not used to any sort of restrains, they´ve never seen a wall,” Merigo told The Boston Globe. “They´ll continue to struggle, they´ll continue to swim forward.”
After being cared for, the turtle was released back into the ocean, where it will continue to be monitored through a satellite feed, said Merigo. Shortly after its release, staff tracked the turtle moving south toward a jellyfish colony off the Nantucket coast where it could find food.
Merigo said the satellite feed is showing that the turtle has regained energy as it has moved a considerable distance since being released.
Though the turtle grew stronger during its two day recovery, Innis said he was not sure why the turtle had washed ashore or whether it will survive in the ocean. Leatherbacks rarely survive captivity; even just a few days can be lethal, due to the extreme stress it puts on them.
“The choices were really to euthanize him, keep him in rehabilitation, or release him,” Innis said. “He was too strong to euthanize, and too strong to keep. ... We elected to release him, but with a little discomfort.”
The team at Quincy were not able to determine an exact age, but estimated the male leatherback was around 25 to 30 years old. Most healthy adult leatherbacks can be more than 1,000 pounds. These gentle giants arrive in Cape Cod and the surrounding islands in June to feed on jellyfish, then migrate south for the winter in late September and October.

“Government has a role to play, but it’s a limited one”
Del. Nick Freitas, R-Culpeper, a two-term, liberty-minded Army veteran stops by the show to talk about his background, views on government, frustrations with the federal government and why he is running for Senate.
We also discuss the state of the campaign, why he’s the candidate to choose, how he beats Senator Tim Kaine this fall and convinces those who have not been voting Republican to support his campaign. He also refutes the accusations that his speech recently “gone viral” from the House floor was racially insensitive and how he will outreach to the African American community during the course of the campaign.
- Other points discussed:
- His view on offshore energy and pipelines – and the use of eminent domain and the balance to support our strategic security interests.
- His path to becoming a Virginian and fascination with American history
“Virginia has a special place in the history of this country and when you feel a connection to that history, and you’re adamant about preserving it and preserving the fundamental principles that make our country possible Virginia is just a wonderful place to be.”
- He explains his fundamental, liberty-based approach to government and how it matches his faith as a Christian.
- Why the Senate? Explains his frustrations with the federal government, regulations, and overreach.
“Show me in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution where the federal government has the authority to do what you’re telling me they’re doing?”
We also talk about the state of the nomination contest, including this recent poll from the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University.

Rebel Wilson hosting the BAFTA Awards ceremony in the UK has not gone down well and people on social media are cringing.
The crowd of celeb A-lister’s seemed to chuckle along with the Australian actress but people online felt differently.
The Bridesmaids actress made jokes about Prince Andrew, JK Rowling, Leonardo DiCaprio, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just to name a few.
Starting her hosting performance by walking through the audience and singling some celebs out, Wilson approached CODA star Emilia Jones, joking:
“i’ll give you the award for the person in the crowd leonardo dicaprio would find most attractive…he does like them young.”
When Emilia Jones was brought on stage, Wilson said there would be two different sign language interpreters to aid British and American viewers with hearing difficulties. Wilson then added:
“LUckily, though, in all sign languages, this is the gesture for putin.”
She then stuck her middle finger up.
People took to Twitter and they weren’t impressed:
I’m cringing so violently watching Rebel Wilson attempt to host the #BAFTAs that I fear my eye sockets may explode. ?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 13, 2022
As everyone piles into Rebel Wilson today for that terrible #BAFTAs gig, let’s note she was alone on that stage and a whole bunch of highly-paid people signed off on her script and patted themselves on the back for a job well done. Appalling!
— Caroline Frost (@FrostReporter) March 14, 2022
As an Aussie I'm not really interested in #BAFTA2022 but on behalf of Australia I would like to apologise for Rebel Wilson's hosting.
— BYoung ?? (@MrBMYoung) March 13, 2022
The actress spoke out before the awards ceremony:
“i’m very scared of doing it, because it’s very nerve-wracking and i get very nervous for live performances.”
“for movies i don’t get nervous but the live stuff, it’s kind of one and done.”
“I hope that people realise just that in my heart, i’m doing it to celebrate movies, to celebrate all the great people that work in movies.”
“In australia, our culture is you can take potshots at people if they’re successful, so i’ll be doing a little bit of that.”
Watch her opening speech below:
Bring back Ricky Gervais.


The unauthorised biography of Gina Rinehart, written by Fairfax business journalist Adele Ferguson, tells the story of the woman at the centre of one of Australia’s most powerful and wealthiest dynasties.
Ferguson says she wrote Gina Rinehart: The untold Story of the Richest Woman in the World for one reason: because we don’t know all that much about Rinehart.
“She has created a $29 billion empire in a very male dominated industry,” Ferguson recently told the Brisbane Time. “She’s come across a lot of odds, and she’s managed to pull it off.”
So what can we learn about Rinehart’s intentions, motivations, attitudes and just how she’s managed to amass such an incredible fortune?

THERE is a higher percentage of unemployed youngsters in the Rhondda Cynon Taff than in any other authority in Wales, a new poll has revealed.
The figures, pulled from a new analysis by the GMB union of the official unemployed claimant count for December 2010, shows that 37.4% of the RCT population currently out of work is aged between 18 and 24.
Out of the 6,515 of all people claiming jobseekers allowance in the area, 2,435 were in the youngest category.
The news will come as a massive concern at a time of economic uncertainty, with many young people leaving high school and university in pursuit of a career.
For Wales as a whole, 33% of all registered unemployed people were in the 18 to 24 age group, and in the UK there are 398,390 young seeking employment, which equals 28.1% of all claimants.
The topic has sparked great debate on the Cynon Valley Leader Facebook page.
Natasha Jones said: “The work ethic is no longer instilled in the youngsters today.
“They want everything for nothing. They think that getting a giro every two weeks is getting paid.
“I think that if they can’t prove that they are actively seeking work then they should help in the community.
“Maybe then they would understand they meaning of pride in your work.”
But Andrea Burrows, formerly from Aberdare, moved to Toronto in 1989 at the start of the last economic downturn and does not want to see future generations of RCT workers struggling to find their first jobs.
“I fully understand why my parents brought us here,” she said. “I am thankful to not have to go through this.
“The valleys really needs an injection of some big companies and employment.
“I would hate to see the valleys totally shut down.”
Allan Garley, GMB Regional Secretary for Wales, said: “Young workers are the real economic victims of this bankers’ recession. The government is in denial that it is deliberately creating unemployment.
“In Wales, there are nearly 24,000 young workers aged 18-24 claiming jobseekers’ allowance.
“When you add to that number the rest of the young people not in jobs but seeking work the real number is more than double.”
Councillor Paul Cannon, cabinet member for economic development, said: “This situation is likely to be made far worse by the recent contraction of growth that has been announced. The impact of the Comprehensive Spending Review will also make this situation more difficult.
“There have been a number of high profile job loss announcements recently. That said, we firmly believe the local economy is well placed, as demonstrated by the announcement of extra, high quality and highly skilled jobs at GEC.”
Councillor Eudine Hanagan, said: “Raising educational attainment is one of our key priorities and ensuring every young person leaves school with qualifications for the right career.”


text: This book was simply amazing. Having read the trilogy, I can say that this is the best one in it by far. The author does a stellar job finishing up the story and weaving all the time streams together into one thrilling conclusion. All of your questions will be answered, and many of those questions will have suprising answers. Hautman does an amazing job of making Tucker, Lahlia, and Kosh feel like real people. Hautman also does a good job of making this time travel story feel not so far fetched that it could never happen in real life. I recommend this book to any teenagers that likes Sci-Fi, mystery, or action books.

NEW SINGLE TOUCH PAYROLL REPORTING: ATO URGES EMPLOYERS TO GET READY
The ATO has called on employers with 20 or more employees to start preparing now for the Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting regime, which will be mandatory from 1 July 2018.
This major reporting change for employers means they will report payments such as salaries and wages and allowances, PAYG withholding and superannuation contributions information to the ATO directly from their payroll solution at the same time they pay their employees. STP reporting starts on 1 July 2018 for employers with 20 or more employees, and is slated to apply from 1 July 2019 for those with 19 or fewer employees.
Assistant Commissioner John Shepherd said STP will allow employers to meet their ATO reporting obligations for employees’ tax and super information using their own payroll or accounting software that is STP-ready. Many employers will be able to update their existing payroll software to a version that is STP-ready. However, employers with 20 or more employees who do not use payroll software will need to choose a product that offers STP by 1 July 2018, Mr Shepherd said.
Steps to get STP-ready
The ATO urges employers to start preparing now to be STP-ready. The next steps are:
• Download the "Get ready checklist" from the ATO website.
• Do a headcount of employees as at 1 April 2018. The ATO has resources available on its website (including a video presentation) about which employees to include in the headcount.
• Talk to existing software providers about how and when their product will be STP-ready.
• For employers who don’t have existing software – choose a product that offers STP. The employer’s tax or BAS agent may be able to suggest a suitable product.
• Update the payroll software when it’s ready for STP and start reporting to the ATO through STP.
Mr Shepherd said some payroll software providers have asked the ATO for more time to get ready. Therefore, employers should ask if their provider has been given such a deferral and check when their product will be updated to offer STP reporting. While employers with 19 or fewer employees are not required to use STP until 1 July 2019, Mr Shepherd said such small employers can choose to start reporting through STP early if their software is ready.
A number of STP resources including factsheets, checklists, information packs and advice on how to manage headcount are available on the ATO website.

The water crisis in Flint, Michigan may soon be resolved, according to officials.
On Monday (December 7), Kurt Thiede, the EPA administrator for Region 5, which includes Michigan, said that 9,700 lead service lines that carry water from main pipes to homes have been replaced.
“The drinking water system in Flint, I think it can be said, is in better shape now than it’s ever been,” Thiede said in an online news conference.
He also shared that less than 500 service lines remain to be checked, and the city hopes to have the task completed by the end of the month.
These replacement repairs are a part of a 2017 settlement reached in a lawsuit residents and nonprofits filed against Flint and the state of Michigan. $120 million in federal and state funding aided in the massive repairs, including more than 26,000 digs to replace the lead service lines.
The crisis began in 2014 after Flint officials, under the advice of a state financial manager, changed the water source from Detroit’s system to the Flint River in an effort to save money. Michigan environmental officials advised city workers not to use anti-corrosive additives which would’ve prevented the Flint River water from carrying lead from aging pipes into residents’ homes.
Flint’s water crisis received national attention and simultaneously shed light on other communities, many of them communities of color, around the nation that don’t have safe drinking water sources or experience environmental racism.
Celebrities like Big Sean, a Detroit native, made donations of bottled water for residents to use. Local activists like Amariyanna Copeny also known as “Little Miss Flint” have continuously raised awareness about the crisis and the years of inaction.
Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley applauded the progress, but acknowledged residents’ potential skepticism saying, “Though the technology is saying we’re better, the psychological impact of having poor water quality for a long period of time still exists, so there is still a crisis in confidence and that’s going to be resolved overnight.”

Over decades, the fabrication of flexible poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based percolative nanocomposites with high piezoelectric performance is of great concern from both academia and industry. However, the issue of sharply declined breakdown strength in percolative nanocomposites poses an obstacle to realizing the full potential of conductive nanofillers in enhancing piezoelectricity. Herein, we demonstrated that through proper topological structure and composition modulations, notably improved breakdown strength and piezoelectric performance can be achieved in PVDF based percolative nanocomposites. By constructing a sandwiched structure where a layer of high breakdown strength is intercalated between layers containing high content (near percolation threshold) of conductive nanofillers, the breakdown strength of overall nanocomposites is significantly strengthened and thus allows for sufficient poling of outer layers, fulfilling the great potential of conductive nanofillers in yielding piezoelectricity enhancement. A super high piezoelectric coefficient d33 of 48 pC/N is obtained in the optimized sandwich nanocomposites.
