Turkey suggests EU should strengthen anti-defamation laws
Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gul has called upon EU states to extend their anti-defamation laws to ensure respect for Islam, an idea rejected by the Netherlands which also opposes a European Commission initiative for a joint UN resolution with islamic states.
The Turkish minister was attending a two-day informal EU foreign ministers' meeting in Salzburg on Friday and Saturday (10-11 March) where he opened a discussion on the dialogue between Europe and the muslim world on Saturday.

According to a written text of Mr Gul's address circulated among journalists, he stated "We cannot afford to see that people around the world start believing that respect for faith and religion do not make part of European values, whereas the opposite is true."
Mr Gul added "As a matter of fact, there are legal restraints against such defamation. However, these restraints sometimes only apply to the established religions of the concerned countries."
"I would like to call on you here to start a process of re-examination of your legislations to ensure that these restraints apply to all religions equally."
Mr Gul's remarks appear to point to the double standards of EU countries which have legislation against antisemitism, but not against islamophobia.
Asked by reporters about Mr Gul's ideas, the Dutch foreign minister Bernard Bot said "We have freedom of speech. That means that Mr Gul can say what he wants and I can say what I want. And I think that this [Mr Gul's idea] is superfluous."
Per Stig Moller, Denmark's foreign minister, said "His [Mr Gul's] only recommendation was a review of the laws. But we already have those kind of laws. So he came with a proposal which has already been fulfilled."
Mr Bot in Salzburg also rejected an idea by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and the European Commission to draw up a common UN resolution between the EU and islamic states, proposed on Friday.
In a paper presented to foreign ministers, Mr Solana and external relations commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner proposed to draft a joint UN resolution on religious tolerance with the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
"The EU could…draft a new, joint resolution underscoring the need to promote tolerance, dialogue and mutual respect among peoples of all religions and beliefs," the paper reads.
The initiative would end the practice of a yearly "ritual dance" of the EU and the OIC introducing own UN resolutions on religion, while voting the other party’s texts down, diplomats said.
The paper explains that so far, the EU has always tabled its own UN resolution on "The Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination based on Religion and Belief", but all 25 EU members voted against an OIC resolution on "Combating Defamation of Religions."
But the initiative did not gain unanimous support among ministers, diplomats said, with a couple of states along with the Netherlands expressing uneasiness about the plan.
"The Netherlands has no need for a further precision of freedom of speech," said Mr Bot.
"A new declaration would add nothing to earlier declarations and would only make things more complicated."
"It is the highest time to start the practical dialogue between cultures," Mr Bot stated, referring to various civil society-based initatives with the southern mediterranean region and Asia.
Copenhagen is more positive on the idea of a common EU-OIC resolution at the UN, with Mr Stig Moller saying it is "woth trying to see if ends could meet."
But the Danish minister also indicated "Europe cannot accept a text in the UN which demands that we change our laws on freedom of expression."

Good news for the honey bees!
And none too soon.
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today (Oct. 29) in a press release that "more than $4 million in technical and financial assistance will be provided to help farmers and ranchers in the Midwest improve the health of honey bees, which play an important role in crop production."
“The future of America's food supply depends on honey bees, and this effort is one way USDA is helping improve the health of honey bee populations,” Vilsack said in the USDA release. “Significant progress has been made in understanding the factors that are associated with Colony Collapse Disorder and the overall health of honey bees, and this funding will allow us to work with farmers and ranchers to apply that knowledge over a broader area.”
The declining honey bee population is besieged with health issues, exacerbated by pests, parasites, pesticides, diseases, stress and malnutrition Nationally, however, honey bees pollinate an estimated $15 billion worth of crops, including more than 130 fruits and vegetables. If you enjoy such produce as almonds, apples, cherries, cucumbers, and peaches, thank a bee for its pollination services.
USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is focusing the effort on five Midwestern states: Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
Why the Midwest? "From June to September, the Midwest is home to more than 65 percent of the commercially managed honey bees in the country. It is a critical time when bees require abundant and diverse forage across broad landscapes to build up hive strength for the winter."
The announcement renews and expands what USDA calls "a successful $3 million pilot investment that was announced earlier this year and continues to have high levels of interest." It's all part of the June 2014 Presidential Memorandum – Creating a Federal Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators, which directs USDA to expand the acreage and forage value in its conservation programs.
Funding will be provided to producers through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Applications are due Friday, Nov. 21.
This means that the farmers and ranchers will receive support and guidance to implement conservation practices that will provide safe and diverse food sources for honey bees. This will include appropriate cover crops or rangeland and pasture management. In addition to providing good forage and habitat for honey bees and other pollinators, the actions taken are expected to reduce erosion, increase soil health and inhibit invasive species.
California also will benefit. "This year, several NRCS state offices are setting aside additional funds for similar efforts, including California – where more than half of all managed honey bees in the U.S. help pollinate almond groves and other agricultural lands – as well as Ohio and Florida," according to the release.
A nice push for the pollinators!

We have several independent tables on a multi-core machine serving Select queries. These tables fit into memory; and each Select queries goes over one table's pages sequentially. In this experiment, there are no indexes or table joins.
When we send concurrent Select queries to these tables, query performance doesn't scale out with the number of CPU cores. We find that complex Select queries scale out better than simpler ones. We also find that increasing the block size from 8 KB to 32 KB, or increasing shared_buffers to include the working set mitigates the problem to some extent. For our experiments, we chose an 8-core machine with 68 GB of memory from Amazon's EC2 service. We installed PostgreSQL 9.3.1 on the instance, and set shared_buffers to 4 GB. We then generated 1, 2, 4, and 8 separate tables using the data generator from the industry standard TPC-H benchmark. Each table we generated, called lineitem-1, lineitem-2, etc., had about 750 MB of data. Next, we sent 1, 2, 4, and 8 concurrent Select queries to these tables to observe the scale out behavior. Our expectation was that since this machine had 8 cores, our run times would stay constant all throughout. Also, we would have expected the machine's CPU utilization to go up to 100% at 8 concurrent queries. Neither of those assumptions held true. We found that query run times degraded as we increased the number of concurrent Select queries. Also, CPU utilization flattened out at less than 50% for the simpler queries. Full results with block size of 8KB are below: Table select count(*) TPC-H Simple (#6) TPC-H Complex (#1) 1 Table / 1 query 1.5 s 2.5 s 8.4 s 2 Tables / 2 queries 1.5 s 2.5 s 8.4 s 4 Tables / 4 queries 2.0 s 2.9 s 8.8 s 8 Tables / 8 queries 3.3 s 4.0 s 9.6 s We then increased the block size (BLCKSZ) from 8 KB to 32 KB and recompiled PostgreSQL. This change had a positive impact on query completion times. Here are the new results with block size of 32 KB: Table select count(*) TPC-H Simple (#6) TPC-H Complex (#1) 1 Table / 1 query 1.5 s 2.3 s 8.0 s 2 Tables / 2 queries 1.5 s 2.3 s 8.0 s 4 Tables / 4 queries 1.6 s 2.4 s 8.1 s 8 Tables / 8 queries 1.8 s 2.7 s 8.3 s As a quick side, we also repeated the same experiment on an EC2 instance with 16 CPU cores, and found that the scale out behavior became worse there. (We also tried increasing the shared_buffers to 30 GB. This change completely solved the scaling out problem on this instance type, but hurt our performance on the hi1.4xlarge instances.) Unfortunately, increasing the block size from 8 to 32 KB has other implications for some of our customers. Could you help us out with the problem here? What can we do to identify the problem's root cause? Can we work around it? Thank you, Metin  http://examples.citusdata.com/tpch_queries.html#query-1  http://examples.citusdata.com/tpch_queries.html#query-6

Figure 27, from Sl. When, therefore, thou shalt wish salomonos acquire the knowledge of magical arts and sciences, it is necessary to have prepared the order of hours and of days, and of the position of the Moon, without the operation of which thou canst effect nothing; but if thou observest them with diligence thou mayest easily and thoroughly arrive at the effect and end which thou desirest to attain.
Clavis Salomonis | Article about Clavis Salomonis by The Free Dictionary
Gollancz’ Hebrew manuscript shows nine pentacles in a section titled “Concerning the sanctity of the nine Kandariri talismansrevealed unto King Solomon ” 48aa. Not in Mathers’ list.
And make sure you observe everything that is laid out in the first chapter of the second book. O Oriens, distinguished king who reigns and rules in the Salomonnis, whose rule and kingdom had its beginning in the ages, and will last until salomojis end of the ages.
Mathers considered it his oldest and sole Latin source, but makes only limited use aalomonis it. Let him, also, renew his fumigations, and offer large quantities of incense, which he should at once place upon the fire, in order to appease the spirits as he hath promised them. Give unto the Lord MacGregor Mathers in Concerning the silken cloth These words having been said kneeling upon the earth, let the master shortly after arise and open his arms wide as if wishing to embrace the air, and say: Magnify and extend upon us, O Lord, thy most holy name, and bless our conversation and our assembly.
Key of Solomon
This swlomonis appears in Sl. They also show the entrance and path to the circle “strada per entrare nel circolo” similar to Harl. This first paragraph is omitted in Sloane MSS. Title reads Les Clavicules de Rabbi Salomon. This sentence is not found in Ad.
Therefore, O my son Roboam, I command thee by the blessing which thou expectest from thy father, that thou shall make an ivory casket, and therein place, keep, and hide this my Key; and when I shall have passed away unto my fathers, I entreat thee to place the same in my sepulchre beside me, lest at another time it might fall into the hands of the wicked.
I have added notes wherever necessary. Where Sl differs from the others, L generally follows it. Come ye, come ye, angels of Darkness; come hither before this circle without fear, terror, or deformity, to execute our commands, and be ye ready both to achieve and to complete all that we shall command ye.
Gollancz: Mafteah Shelomoh / Clavicula Salomonis
L inserts the tables of the hours of the day and night at this point. In conclusion I will only mention, for the benefit of non-Hebraists, that Hebrew is written from right to left, and that from the consonantal nature of the Hebrew Alphabet, it will require fewer letters than in English to express the same word. Before any of these operations termed “experiments” are performed, the operator must confess his sins and purge himself of evilinvoking the protection of God.
Also I have written them in this Key, so that like as a key openeth a treasure-house, so this Key alone may open the knowledge and understanding of magical arts and sciences. Unless we shall come and ask the interpretation from the Lord, with tears and entreaties, we shall never arrive at the knowledge of it.
THE KEY OF SOLOMON
September Learn how and when to remove this claviz message. Then it is certain that they will come, even if they be bound with chains of fire, unless prevented by affairs of the very greatest sslomonis, but in this latter case they will send ambassadors and messengers by whom thou shalt easily and surely learn what occupies the spirits and what they are about.
In whichever part of the world you may be, and by whatever names you may salomobis called, I conjure and appeal to you, O daemons who have the power to be overturn the hearts of men and women, through the one who created you out of nothing, that this night you immediately convene without delay, face to face, [exerting your influence?
This sentence is missing in Ad. C,avis is necessary after this that thou shouldest have within the circle a vessel of earth with burning coals and odoriferous perfumes thereon; with the which thou shalt fumigate the aforesaid pentacles; and, having turned thy face towards the East, thou shalt hold the said pentacles over the smoke of the incense, and shalt repeat devoutly the following Psalms of David my father: Part of the Duveen Collection.
Thou shalt commence the salomoonis or construction of the pentacles in the hour aforesaid. We command ye and potently ordain ye by the most strong and powerful name of God EL, 1 who is worthy of all slomonis, admiration, honor, glory, generation, and fear, that ye delay not longer, but that ye appear before us without any tumult or disturbance, but, on the contrary, with great respect and courtesy, in a beautiful and human form.
Experiment of love, and how it should be performed omitted by Mathers The words in the middle, “Orien.
I have given the number of the Psalms according to the Englishnot the Hebrew numbers.

Her work has starred in a number of magazines and news sites. Published on Jun 18, 2020
For all those residing paycheck to paycheck, a quick payday loan may feel just like a slot within the storm whenever money is required on the go, particularly in these troubled times. But this kind of financial obligation frequently produces larger problems that are financial the debtor.
Such short-term loans are really an advance loan up against the borrowerРІs next paycheck, typically due in 2 days once they get their paycheck that is next various other income source, such as for instance a pension or Social Security check. All you have to secure a loan that is payday in states where they’ve been available, is evidence of earnings and a checking account.
Some 12 million cash-strapped Us americans utilize pay day loans each year, stated Alex Horowitz, senior research officer during the Pew Charitable Trusts, whom advocates to get more affordable small-loan choices.
Whom utilizes payday advances the many?
The majority of borrowers whom use payday advances are low-income people making lower than $30,000 each year whom dropped behind on the month-to-month costs, including lease, bills, or vehicle repayments, in accordance with the customer Financial Protection Bureau. 1 most are unemployed.
People on federal impairment may also be prone to count on payday advances, in accordance with the Center for Retirement analysis at Boston university. 2
Due to the fees that are exorbitant payday lenders charge, the debtor becomes caught in a period of financial obligation.
The typical cash advance is $375, but the average debtor ends up having it away for five months of the season, which ultimately ends up costing them on average $520 in fees along with the $375 they initially borrowed,Сњ said Horowitz.
Based on the CFPB, many states that allow payday loans limit the total amount that loan providers may charge for charges to anywhere from ten payday loan and cash advance Indiana dollars to $30 for every single $100 lent. Hence, an average two-week cash advance with a $15 per $100 charge means an annual portion price of almost 400 per cent.
In comparison, the agency records that the percentage that is annual on bank cards typically varies from 12 to 30 %. (relevant: managing credit debt)
Many customers cant manage to repay every one of the cash they owe by their next paycheck,Сњthe CFPB reports in an on-line customer alert video clip. Within per month, nearly 70 per cent of borrowers remove a payday loan that is second.
In reality, it unearthed that 1 in 5 borrowers whom sign up for a quick payday loan find yourself using 10 or maybe more pay day loans in succession before they get the methods to repay their financial obligation, incurring more charges and interest for a passing fancy financial obligation with every brand new loan.
Pay day loans are the absolute most credit that is expensive,Сњ said Laurie Madenfort, a monetary expert with Coastal riches in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in an interview, whom urged cash-strapped consumers to take into account options.
Options to pay day loans
Historically, traditional banking institutions didn’t offer small-dollar loans simply because they are not commercially viable and as the regulatory framework for issuing such loans had not been plainly defined. However in May 2020, federal banking regulators issued long-sought guidance that cleared the road for banking institutions and credit unions to begin with providing smaller loans which are economical for both debtor and loan provider. Unlike payday lenders, banking institutions report repayment history towards the credit agencies, that allows borrowers whom spend on time for you to enhance their credit rating.
If banking institutions provide little installment loans, that could allow customers to borrow at a high price point which will be 6 to 8 times less than a payday loan, stated Horowitz. This might be really great news.
Numerous banking institutions remain rolling away their small-dollar-loan program, but. Until they for sale in communities nationwide, Madenfort shows those in need of financial relief consider calling their creditors to request an work or extension out a repayment plan. (get the full story: establishing economic objectives: Debt)
Meals support programs, which will help release earnings for spending the bills, may also be available for many looking for instant meals help, as well as on a regular foundation for seniors and school-age kids, amongst others. Regional meals pantries, spiritual businesses, and nonprofit outreach groups in communities across America will also be a food that is free for everyone in need of assistance.
They may be able also possibly borrow from buddies or household, combine financial obligation to a reduced interest loan, or contact federal government programs and groups that are nonprofit provide assist with families in economic need, stated Madenfort.
Consumers should start with calling their municipality or county, she stated. Many people donРІt understand that you will find resources right that is available they work and reside.
On a federal degree, the us government has multiple programs also, to simply help those struggling to cover phone, utility, and medical bills, among other costs.
Under particular circumstances, you might like to get federal figuratively speaking forgiven, canceled, or discharged.
Veterans who require help may additionally be eligible for any quantity of programs available.

Aim: To measure the type and frequency of complications for surgical patients 1 month after discharge.
Methods: A post-discharge patient survey was conducted in 2000 for patients who had undergone one of five elective operations: transurethral resection of the prostate, hysterectomy, major joint replacement, cholecystectomy, herniorrhaphy. Two hundred and fourteen patients (74%) returned the survey forms, which were sent 1 month after surgery. Patients were recruited from two teaching hospitals in the Hunter Area Health Service, New South Wales, Australia.
Results: One hundred and thirty-five (63%) patients reported one or more complications and 78 (37%) received treatment for 109 complications. Eighty-six per cent reported pain after discharge and 41% reported moderate to severe pain. Seventeen per cent reported infections after discharge and 94% of these patients were given treatment. Twenty-eight per cent reported bleeding after discharge and 20% of these were given treatment. Eleven (5%) patients were readmitted for treatment of problems related to their surgery including four who required further surgery. One hundred and seventy-two patients accessed a range of health services during the first month after discharge, resulting in 266 occasions of service. Twenty-eight per cent of post-discharge services were unplanned.
Conclusions: The lack of post-discharge monitoring conceals information about surgical outcomes. Patient reporting is an effective method of monitoring post-discharge outcomes. There is scope to develop post-discharge services to improve the quality of care in the areas of post-discharge pain management, the use of prophylactic measures and to provide treatment for complications that occur during this period.

Tampa is a city in the great state of Florida, and is considered one of the Gulf Coast Bay cities. It’s one of the largest cities in the state by population, home to over 350,000 people. The place has a population density of almost 3,000 people per square mile, and is a part of the county of Hillsborough.
The county’s experiencing a bit of a resurgence in interest in Tampa mortgage products, this on the heels of one of the worst market reversals in real estate history. Tampa in particular is an area that’s almost fairing just as poorly as Miami. Many are seeing the signs of life in Tampa refinance and mortgaging products as an indication that the area’s probably somewhere close to bottoming out, closer than many economists had previously surmised. But that isn’t to say that there’s anywhere near or close to a consensus about this. Other economists and financial analysts that have very large positions in the market, still expect a way to go downward, as the rest of the state of Florida still exhibits signs of economic weakness. Again, the main issue is jobs. Without a steady income, and without certainty about the jobs market in the future, creditors, lenders, banks; they’ll all be less willing to extend loans, issue mortgage products; and many point to the fact that so many banks have yet to actually account for many of actually foreclosures that are out there; in other words, there are more bad Tampa home loans than is actually being reported. This is largely because banks are refusing to process foreclosures at any respectable rate.
5, 10 years ago, you would’ve had proceedings done and over with about a foreclosure in a matter of months; a tenant in a now foreclosed property would have been expunged from the property, with the use of local authorities, but nowadays, you’re getting periods of 6 months with payments, without so much as a notice from these banks; and what’s common is a year: no payments made by the borrower, and the bank not taking any action whatsoever.
First Nationwide Lending is currently offering a variety of Tampa mortgage products for residents and individuals looking to relocate to the Tampa Florida area.


MIAMI—In the early days of Marco Rubio’s campaign for U.S. Senate, he spoke at one of the first Tea Party rallies in the state of Florida.
As Rubio began to speak about not wanting to lose his country to socialism, lightning reportedly began to flash. It was to be either an omen of the betrayal his Tea Party supporters would later feel, or a foreshadowing of the powerful potential this young Cuban American had for higher office.
It had taken a month for his hometown newspaper, the Miami Herald, to notice that the 38-year-old Miami lawyer, once a leader in the state House, had formally joined the race. He didn’t even hold a launch event when he registered as a candidate for U.S. Senate in early 2009.
“It was lonely out there. He was living off the land,” an early supporter said. “If he had held a launch event for his U.S. Senate campaign, you could have held it in a phone booth.”
It was the excitement of the Florida Tea Party movement, which exploded into the public consciousness in the spring and summer of 2009, that ultimately transformed Rubio into a serious contender.
“Across the board in 2010, the Tea Party played a huge role. They got people out to vote, they were active, they were knocking on doors, making phone calls. There were little spots during the campaign where you just felt the momentum,” said Anthony Bustamante, Rubio’s former statewide field director and one of the first half-dozen staffers to join the Senate campaign.
But don’t count on many of those original Florida Tea Party supporters to be in the crowd Monday evening when Rubio is expected launch his bid for the White House with dramatic fanfare at Miami’s Freedom Tower, converted in the 1990s as a monument to Cuban refugees.
Six years after the movement’s initial rallies, marches, and demonstrations, Tea Party activists feel let down and betrayed by their native son.
“I’m through with him. He will never get my vote. ‘Disappointed’ would mean that he has an opportunity to restore his credibility, and there is no opportunity for that,” said KrisAnne Hall, an attorney and Tea Party activist from north-central Florida. “The overwhelming perception is that Marco Rubio is not a Tea Party candidate.”
Some Florida Tea Party supporters still wax nostalgic about the early, hopeful days of the Rubio Senate campaign.
“When he was first running for Senate, I was a big fan…He walked the neighborhood both inside and outside his district, knocked on doors and asked what people’s needs were, what their issues were. I was so impressed with that,” said Lisa Becker, who helped run A Sisterhood of Mommy Patriots, a Tea Party group geared toward mothers.
“Then,” Becker continued, “he got into office.”
“Once he got into Washington, he had his sights set early on higher office,” said Jason Hoyt, a Tea Party organizer from central Florida. “He surrounded himself with people who were going to help him navigate Washington to get there, and in that process he disconnected from his base.”
Becker still acknowledges Rubio’s charisma and oratorical abilities. But now she thinks she might have been played.
“Now I wonder if he was ever listening or it was just a ploy to get votes…He says all the right things to the audience he needs, and we in Florida are no longer his audience. His new audience is national voters who might elect him president,” she said.
“We were hungry for leadership on our principles and values, but it didn’t come from Marco,” Hoyt added. “I thought it would.”
Many Tea Partiers point to Rubio’s work in the Senate as part of the so-called Gang of Eight, who tried to come to a bipartisan consensus on comprehensive immigration reform. It ultimately failed, but many on the right will not forgive what they disdain as the senator’s support for “amnesty.”
At the Conservative Political Action Conference this year, Rubio tried to distance himself from his work on immigration, saying he had learned his lesson—that broad-based reform was only possible after complete border security.
Some libertarian-leaning Tea Party activists also point to foreign policy and national security as issues on which he let them down. Hall, the attorney from north-central Florida, listed off the offenses: Rubio’s support for indefinite detention, support for arming the Syrian rebels, support for the war against ISIS without explicit congressional approval, and support for the NSA.
“If he had been listening when he was knocking on those doors, he would have found out what matters. Being in perpetual war matters to families,” Becker said.
Bustamante, Rubio’s former statewide field director, plays down any discontentment Florida Tea Party activists feel about the Florida Republican senator.
“I don’t think there’s a rift. The Tea Party embraced Marco. I think they still hold them up as one of their own,” he said.
Tom Gaitens, who knew Rubio in the state House and formerly worked for the conservative group FreedomWorks, said he had forgiven Rubio for the sin of working with Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform.
“The only perfect guy I ever met was Jesus Christ, in my heart. What I care about is that they stand up and show courage, and I think Marco has done that every step of the way,” Gaitens said.
And Rubio is still an insurgent. He is far from the front-runner in the large Republican presidential field.
It’s a position where he has thrived: Bustamante recalled the early “startup” days of the Rubio Senate campaign, where they drove 10 hours round trip to Jacksonville just to make $900.
Rubio is not running a startup anymore. He’s running a full-fledged business that hopes to raise millions to elevate him to the White House.
This time, though, he’ll do it without the support of many of the grassroots activists who propelled him to the Senate hoping for a Tea Party champion.

It has a thick, smooth French-leatherette (artificial leather) cover that is soft to touch and is supported by a robust cardboard. It has an elastic-strap closure, expandable inner pocket and the Rhodia Logo embossed on the front cover. The A5 notebook is great for notetaking and fits easily into your bag.
The ivory-coloured 90gsm paper stock is absolutely beautiful. It offers an exquisite writing experience and is a joy to thumb through. It is definitely feather-free and bleedproof – no caveats required.
- Possibly my favourite A5 notebook Review by rajini
- This notebook is much more substantial than the Moleskine equivalent. The paper is definitely fountain pen friendly, and I prefer the ivory colour to other Rhodia pads and Clairefontaine paper. The dots are not as subtle as I expected, but I am used to blank paper so I would notice anything on my writing paper. The price is the only thing that makes me think twice about repurchasing.

MycoBank number: MB 842421; Index Fungorum number: IF 842421; Facesoffungi number: FoF 12570;
Spermogonia and aecia not found. Uredinia hypophyllous, 0.2–0.5 mm, not apparently forming columns on leaves, urediniospores ovoid or ellipsoid, 18–30 × 15–20 µm, wall echinulate, with apparent smooth regions, germ pores mostly scattered, inconspicuous, ostiolar cells apparent, erumpent on leaf surface, forced up to dome. Telia with hair-like columns, 0.7–1.0 mm long, straight or slight curved, bright yellow, teliospores oblong, 30–51 × 12–17 µm, catenulate, wall colorless, 0.5–1.3 µm thick, without surface ornamentation.
Material examined: China, Hubei, Shennongjia, III on Myrica gale, 9 Sept 1984, L.

Distribution: Canada, China, USA.
Sequence data: SSU: OM745996; ITS: OM746428; LSU: OM746593; CO3: OM721419 (holotype).
Notes: In the phylogenetic tree, C. myricae formed an independent clade close to C. mongolicum and C. orientale. Morphologically, it differs from two species in the ornamentation and dimension of urediniospores and teliospores. Previously, C. flaccidum (syn. C. asclepiadeum) was reported on Myricales species (Peterson 1973), but C. myricae was phylogenetically distinct from C. flaccidum. Moreover, it is morphologically distinct in its uredinia with apparent ostiolar cells and urediniospores with smooth regions. The rust fungus on three Myrica species (i.e., M. asplenifolia, M. californica and M. gale) was previously recognized as C. comptoniae, however, our research revealed that C. myricae on Myrica species was phylogenetically distinct from C. comptoniae. Morphologically, C. myricae differs from C. comptoniae in its uredinial morphology.

What Vitamins Should You Take Regularly?
Many people wonder what vitamins they should be taking regularly. However, there’s not always an easy answer. For most people, the vitamins they need to take differ because not everyone eats the same diet. Some people are going to be low on vitamin C, while others may get a lot of this vitamin in their system but might need more calcium or iron. Here are some of the most common vitamins and minerals that people need in order to be healthy.
Vitamin A: This vitamin is used to help the body grow and develop, especially the eyes, teeth, and skin. It tends to come from foods that are orange in color, like carrots, cantaloupe, and sweet potatoes. That’s because vitamin A is connected to carotene, which gives food its orange color.
Vitamin B: There are a number of different B vitamins that the body needs. These vitamins help produce energy and boost the immune system. They also help you absorb iron, so for those who are anemic, it’s very important to get the correct amount of Vitamin B. These vitamins come from a number of different types of foods, including potatoes, whole grains, chili peppers, beans, bananas, lentils, and molasses.
Vitamin C: Everyone knows vitamin C is what you take when you start feeling sick. That’s because it does help fight off illness, but it also helps to make the skin more elastic. It provides antioxidants and can assist with making blood vessels stronger. Vitamin C comes from oranges, grapefruits, Brussels sprouts, green and red peppers, strawberries, and cantaloupe.
Vitamin D: Finally, we’ll end this first part of the vitamin list with vitamin D. This vitamin is important for helping you grow strong bones. However, it’s difficult to get vitamin D through food. Instead, the body makes it from absorbing sunlight through your skin. You can, however, add some vitamin D to your diet by eating fish, eggs, and mushrooms.
Vitamin E – This vitamin is used to improve blood circulation and to battle free radicals. Free radicals can cause a number of issues, including cancer, so it’s very important to prevent as many of them as possible from forming. Vitamin E can be found in many types of nuts, but almonds are especially high in it. Tomatoes and sunflower seeds are also high in vitamin E.
Vitamin K – You’ll need a good amount of vitamin E to help promote blood coagulation. If you notice that it’s hard to stop a cut from bleeding, it may be a sign that you’re low in vitamin K. You will get it from leafy green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, and kale.
You may also want to start taking an acai berry supplement. Research has shown that a supplement such as the acai berry may be able to provide you with a number of benefits.

Update on eviction notice to building hijackers at Albatros
On 30 October 2020, the Court ordered the eviction of those illegally occupying 12 units in Albatros, a block of flats belonging to Communicare.
The Court gave the occupantsuntil14 December to vacate the premises. The Sheriff of the Court will thereafter evict all those who refuse to leave.
Regrettably, none of the occupants have moved out despite the court giving them more than a months’ notice. If the apartments are not vacated by the date specified by the Court the occupant will be contravening the Court order. The Sheriff of the Court will then step in to implement the Court order by evicting those who insist on unlawfully occupying the units.
Communicare has no jurisdiction over the Sheriff or the implementation of the Court order and is not aware when the eviction will occur. Communicare has no authority to evict illegal occupiers. That is the decision of the Court.
“Communicare has offered the occupants the opportunity to sign leases and become legal tenants. This was rejected. It is unfortunate but there is nothing more Communicare can do.The law will now have to take its course,” said Anthea Houston, CEO of Communicare.

Graffiti curbed at Himebaugh Park, elsewhere in city
COSHOCTON – Vandalism incidents have decreased at the Himebaugh Park but might be rising in other areas of the city.
Coshocton City Councilman Jim Baker said he received a call from a resident on South 12th Street about graffiti on a garage. While driving around the area, he said he also saw graffiti on buildings belonging to the Gemini Corp. and Powdered Rubber Products.
City Law Director Bob Skelton said property owners should report any vandalism to the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office and take photographs of the graffiti. He said photos could help tie vandals to more than one location once a possible suspect is caught.
Baker said this was the second time in about four weeks the garage had been struck by vandals. While the damage is the responsibility of the property owners, Baker still wanted to report it to the council because of recent concerns of vandalism at Himebaugh Park.
Three picnic tables and the Rotary Pavilion at the park on the corner of Seventh and Orange streets were defaced with knife carvings, drawings and vulgar language.
The picnic tables were removed the first week of November, which Mayor Steve Mercer said was always the plan so they would not be in the elements during the winter months. The picnic tables will be put back in the spring.
Council President Cliff Biggers, who is pastor of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church across from the park, said he's not seen youth milling about the Rotary building since then.
He also said members of the community watch group based out of the church have taken it upon themselves to put three lights around the park and pay for their use during evening hours. Biggers said he thinks that has cut loitering, but he still sees people using the walking path, swingset and basketball court on a regular basis.
Biggers said the watch group also will start pushing a Light the Night campaign, encouraging residents to light their alleys and out buildings.
"Lights and cameras seem to work. If we get those things in, I think we'll have a better response," Biggers said about crime prevention in the area.
While closing the park at a certain time had been discussed as an option to deter vandalism at the park, Mercer said the city has no intention of doing that. He said the city is still contemplating installation of surveillance cameras, which also was mentioned as a graffiti deterrent.
Donations from the Coshocton Ministerial Association's community Thanksgiving service Sunday will go toward the cameras. The recreation department also is receiving $25,000 from the Coshocton City and County Park District levy for 2015 that could go toward cameras. Service organizations such as Kiwanis and Rotary also could be called upon to help.
Mercer said a possible city levy with funds going to safety services could help with surveillance cameras at the park and other areas, such as city hall, if it's passed. The council hasn't had any official talks, but a possible levy for safety services with the bulk going to fund police services has been mentioned.
"We're looking into it, and we at some point anticipate having some," Mercer said of city surveillance cameras.

The American Society for Testing and Materials standardizes, among other things, the composition and mechanical properties of steel. While many forms of steel possess similar compositions, such as A529 and A572, relatively small differences in the quantities of particular elements are enough to make the steels have different mechanical properties, and therefore, different applications.

If you’ve got employed a going out with application, you should understand the significance of selecting excellent member profile images.
These footage don’t just inform attractiveness; a recent study indicated that 43% of individuals consider capable have a sense of someone’s character by their unique image. You could possibly guess that a person who has included a photo of by themselves camping is definitely an outdoorsy types of person.
But as boffins that analyze human-animal communications, most of us would like to really know what this suitable for owners – for example, male kitten holders.
If you should be a man who owns a pet, what effects does it have on suitors if you decide to publish a picture posing with the much-loved feline?
Earlier learning advised that ladies carry out evaluate a potential male spouse based around whether he has got animals. Although they favor boys with pet dogs, the outcome showed that they even render guys with kitties a benefit over non-pet proprietors.
As a result of this, all of us reasoned that men pictured with kitties could be observed much more attractive and appealing than guys who couldn’t pose with any creatures.
Within learn, all of us recruited 1,388 heterosexual United states women from 18 to 24 years old to consider this short confidential online survey. Inside the research, most people introduced involving them with photos of just one of two young light people inside their earlier twenties either appearing alone or with a cat. To avoid biasing the women’s reactions, you at random displayed which photo the two observed initial. Each person just ranked one man, with and without a cat.
Every time the people determine a photograph, we questioned these to charge the guy pictured on a few character qualities, including their maleness, femininity and dateability. We all additionally need the ladies if he or she explained themselves as a “cat person,” “dog individual,” “neither” or “both.”

Voice commerce Interview with Philipp Leuthold, Online Channels Manager at Swiss Post
Digitization has brought about far-reaching changes in commerce over many years. The next great revolution has now arrived in the form of so-called voice shopping. Yet, the retail sector can access so much more than just voice technology. Swiss Post is developing this digital channel, too.
In an expert interview, Philipp Leuthold gives us an insight into what Swiss Post is doing in terms of voice.
Can you briefly tell us about your job at Swiss Post?
I’ve worked in the digital area at Swiss Post for 14 years, first on the website, then on smartphone apps, social media tools and the newsletter system. My focus is now on the task of designing and implementing the Voice digital channel.
Where does Swiss Post stand at the moment in terms of voice? What’s possible now?
Various Swiss Post units have already developed prototypes in-house. There’s an option for track and trace and the location search as well as further solutions for pick@home and ordering account documents from PostFinance. In an endurance test, our real estate department provided a solution for ordering repair and maintenance services in coffee break areas using voice technology. Currently, we haven’t got beyond the prototype stage – that should change now.
Thanks to smartphones, many users are already familiar with voice assistants. What tangible value added do you think customers gain from using this technology in commerce?
Besides practical solutions and simple access via voice services on smart assistants or smartphones, automated customer dialogue can provide customers with quicker, better targeted and more cost-effective assistance in after-sales service. As a user, I can communicate more simply and quickly in my own language – something that I learned as a child. Another benefit is that interaction is possible even if your hands aren’t free.
Which smart assistant platforms are we talking about at the moment?
There are currently two main systems that can be enhanced using third-party applications. These applications are called “Skills” on Alexa and “Actions” at Google. They are opened using invocation names – for example “Alexa, open Swiss Post”. The user then has access to the services provided by the company.
How effective will the technology become as another communication or shopping channel? What do you think?
The use of voice assistants is growing rapidly. According to the Voice First Barometer study, 30 percent of respondents used this technology in 2018, with the figure rising to over 50 percent in 2019. Users are accessing a growing number of services with their own voice and are getting accustomed to interacting in this way. This trend will continue in the coming months and it will increasingly become a matter of course to request, initially, simple information such as the weather and, after a certain time, other services such as money transfers, orders, etc. using your voice.
Where do you see the biggest opportunities in voice commerce?
There’s huge potential in highly repetitive orders, where the same product is ordered at regular intervals. This could be coffee capsules, for example, or company consumables, etc. I can also see potential in recommendations. As mentioned earlier, it’s easier to establish a relationship using your voice. And, of course, anywhere my hands aren’t free and where I can interact more easily using my voice.
Do you think there are risks too?
Every technology brings its own risks and that’s undoubtedly the case with voice, too. Due to the fleeting nature of the spoken word, users can get lost more easily and no longer find their way around. Although users talk to Alexa, Siri, Google Home, etc., the language is actually converted into text in the device, processed and then the resulting text is then converted back into language and spoken. Users need be aware that they are not only communicating with the company they have contacted. Sensitive data has to be adapted accordingly.
What’s next in the pipeline for you?
At the moment, I’m creating the foundations for the voice channel. What will the “Swiss Post” brand sound like? How will we talk to users? What special data protection regulations need to be drawn up? We’ll also look at how the Swiss Post Customer Login, a hugely important element of our service, can be incorporated. This will then be the basis for all other Swiss Post logistics services that the end customer can easily activate via the voice channel.

A wrongful death lawsuit centering around the death of an iron worker who lost his life in a construction accident on the Northwestern University campus in Chicago, Illinois is moving ahead.
57-year-old iron worker, Michael Kerr, was perished on May 16, 2013. A construction crane knocked a 16-foot, 70 lb beam from the sixth story of a new building being constructed on the campus grounds. Kerr was on the ground level when the beam crashed onto his head and chest. Two hours later, Kerr was pronounced dead at the Evanston Hospital.
In response to the accident, Kerr’s son filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the general contractor managing construction at the location, Power Construction. “Far too many workers are killed in construction accidents,” said Robert Briskman, a Chicago construction accident attorney. “If the contractor was negligent, then a wrongful death lawsuit is appropriate to gain compensation for the family.”
Kerr’s son and family are seeking $200,000 in damages from the construction firm. According to allegation made in the lawsuit, Power Construction was negligent in failing to follow and maintain proper safety precautions on site, including thoroughly inspecting the work environment and securing all construction materials.
In addition generating the wrongful death lawsuit, the accident has led the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to conduct an investigation into the incident seeking to uncover any failure to maintain OSHA safety regulations. In November, OSHA issued a citation to Power Construction stating Power Construction failed to protect subcontractor workers from harm. As a result, the company was ordered to pay $7,000 in fines and conduct training to prevent future incidents.
Despite this citation, a finding against Power Construction in the ongoing wrongful death lawsuit is in no way assured. Power Construction may be able to free itself of responsibility in the civil case despite OSHA’s ruling.
Even if the lawsuit is not dismissed, there is always the possibility they may be able to convince Kerr’s family to settle for a lesser amount. As expenses begin to add up, Kerr’s family maybe begin to see this as an attractive option. Securing lawsuit funding, however, could provide them with the financial leverage to reject an unsatisfactory offer.
Lawsuit Funding Helps Illinois Litigants with Wrongful Death Lawsuits
Lawsuit funding provides cash advances to plaintiffs involved in civil proceedings in order to help them shoulder the financial hardships of an extended court battle. And as lawsuit funding is not a traditional loan, factors such as employment or credit history are not factored into funding considerations. The likelihood of a successful case is the only concern.
Securing wrongful death lawsuit funding requires no upfront fees or incremental payments. A lawsuit cash advance can be made available in as little as 24-hours.
And unlike traditional loans with monthly payments, the borrower of wrongful death lawsuit funding is not required to pay anything until a judgment is rendered. Should the plaintiff receive the desired outcome, the lawsuit loan repayment is taken right out of the winnings.
On the other hand, should the plaintiff lose the case, they are not required to pay anything, not even the money borrowed.
For those involved in wrongful death lawsuits, securing lawsuit funding could help to realize a better judgment or settlement. Fighting to receive a fair judgment in a wrongful death lawsuit can be a long and trying process; empower your fight with lawsuit funding.

Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 and Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 single-crystal rods were grown by floating zone melting. A typical single-crystal rod is 8 mm in diameter and 70 mm in length. Crystallized Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 and Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 have cubic structures in the I21d space group. The crystal structures of Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 and Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 belong to the cubic I213 space group, while the final structure refinements were performed based on an approximate space group Ia3d. The lattice parameter (a) of Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 was 12.9130(8) Å (1 Å = 0.1 nm), while that of Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 was 12.9455(6) Å. The crystallographic reliability factors (R-values) of the Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 and Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 crystal structures were 7.09% (wR = 7.94%) and 8.82% (wR = 7.45%), respectively, based on the single-crystal neutron diffraction data. Li ions in the crystal structures occupied both distorted tetrahedral 96h sites and distorted octahedral 96h sites. From the results of alternating current impedance measurements, we estimated the total Li-ion conductivity of Li6.5La3Zr1.5Nb0.5O12 and Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 at 298 K to be 1.39 × 10−3 and 1.27 × 10−3 S cm−1, respectively. These are the highest conductivities reported to date for Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12 members. The bulk properties of garnet-type electrolyte single crystals were advantageous for bulk conductivity and lacked the grain boundaries characteristic of sintered polycrystalline bodies. These solid electrolytes represent a game-changing technology for realizing advanced battery systems with strong safety features.

The Nauru government says media reports claiming under aged people had been deputised to help police during unrest on the island last Friday are baseless.
Nauru's acting Police Minister, Mathew Batsiua, says hundreds volunteered to help keep the situation under control after the main police station was damaged and reports that a disgruntled group planned further disruption.
But he says these people were screened.
Mr Batsuia says the island has a reserve force available to police in the event of an emergency or threat.
He says the call for additional personnel went out when the threats were made on Friday afternoon, but the screening process precluded anyone under 18 being involved, and the Government believes this was strictly adhered to.
Mr Batsuia says police were overwhelmed by the response from the public after threats from what he says is a relatively small number of troublemakers.
