Los Angeles -Urban Legends/UMe has reissued two classic Parliament albums on black vinyl and in limited special vinyl editions: Chocolate City (released June 21) and Up For The Down Stroke (released July 12). Up For The Down Stroke is also available in a limited translucent red vinyl edition, while Chocolate Cityi s also available in a limited picture disc vinyl edition. To celebrate the new releases and to honor Parliament’s iconic funkinfluence, Urban Legends has collaborated with Feedfeed on a new co-branded Chocolate City-inspired recipe video co-hosted by acclaimed chef Roblé Ali and cookbook author/blogger/artist Jerrelle Guy.
In July 1974, the George Clinton-led funk group Parliament released their second studio album, Up For The Down Stroke. The album marked the return of bassist and co-songwriter Bootsy Collins after a two-year hiatus, cementing his pivotal creative role in the group. Released as a single, the title track reached No. 10 on Billboard’s R&B Singles chart, while the acclaimed album peaked at No. 17 on the R&B Albums chart.
In April 1975, Parliament released their third album, Chocolate City, maintaining the classic, Clinton-led lineup with Collins, Bernie Worrell, and Eddie Hazel. ForChocolate City, the group was also joined by the Brecker Brothers (Michael and Randy Brecker), vocalist Glenn Goins, and bassist Prakash John. Propelled by Parliament’s signature up-tempo funk, and featuring vocal harmonies by doo-wop group The Parliaments, the “tribute to Washington, D.C." (A.K.A. “Chocolate City”) earned rave reviews and reached No. 18 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart.
To honor Parliament and Chocolate City, Roblé Ali and Jerrelle Guy met up at Feedfeed’s Brooklyn studio to film their creation of some stunning Chocolate City-inspired desserts. In the engaging video, Roble and Guy explore some of the legendary album’s complex themes, including the African diaspora and chocolate cities, the album’s influence on current music and their own music tastes, as well as music’s role in elevating the cooking/dining experience. Joining the conversation with Roblé Ali and Jerrelle Guy was Colleen Vincent of Black Food Folks and The James Beard Foundation, bringing her own vantage point of growing up in Brooklyn, her own chocolate city.

This is my second Boho Mango collar and like the first, it is fabulous. The colors are beautiful, the design shows up well on the collar, it’s constructed very well. We get so many compliments on both collars. I think we need a third!
I bought the waterfall dog collar in medium for my Frenchton and it fits perfectly. Even has a slight stretch to it and seems comfortable for her. Beautiful!
We’re not-so-patiently waiting for our new girl to arrive and can’t wait to put this beautiful collar on her! Great workmanship, quick shipping. Thank you!
We love our new collar for our dog, Winnie. It is beautifully made, very high quality, and we loved the chance to customize it with her name. We would definitely recommend Boho Mango to our friends and their furry friends!
I love these collars! I have 2 dogs who have been wearing them for several years now.. I constantly get remarks from people about how cool and beautiful they are! We love sharing info about where to bet them. These are fresh new ones for our lovelies and we're thrilled with the designs we chose . You and your dogs will love these!
Thank you !! We received Beau’s new collar and we absolutely love it 💗 It’s beautiful and very well made. I would highly recommend Boho Mango!
Pancake is really styling! She loves showing up at the dog park wearing the Mango Star collar. Already her friends are asking about it! We'll send some pics soon.
My Molly loves her new personalized Boho Mango collar! Boho Mango not only makes her (and me with my matching bracelet) look cool on our walks, but I like that these collars and bracelets also impact native artisans across the globe in a positive way. Thank you Boho Mango!
Wow, What a stand out collar on my black lab. It’s the 4th collar I’ve bought. The Angel Lace in blue is her Spring Collar and Poppy in orange for fall. My 2 others are custom colors with her name, Maya in red for the holidays and Selva in turquoise for summer.
Working with Boho Mango for these customs collars was a delightful experience with standout collars for my puppy! Thank you Boho Mango! Great job!

Who doesn’t love getting free stuff for normal activities? This is why airline mile malls are such an exciting prospect. Almost every airline has a miles program. Most consumers earn miles by flying or using a credit card.
The biggest secret airlines keep, however, is that many airlines also have mile malls where consumers can shop online through regular retailers and earn miles (sometimes up to 4 miles per dollar spent!).
These are websites that consumers typically shop through like Target, Nordstrom, Apple, etc. You can even earn extra miles in-store by registering your credit card or debit card number with the Mileage Plus Mall. You will then collect points every time your registered card is used in participating stores.
This is how online airline miles malls work
Airline mile malls reward you with miles for the expenses you would normally be making anyway. Almost every operating airline has some kind of partnership agreement where you can earn airline miles for purchases.
Some limit mileage accrual to a select few partners, while others allow you to shop online or in stores almost anywhere. It’s easy to see how those airline miles can add up quickly with your regular shopping!
The best airline malls
Ready to learn more about this easy way to earn airline miles on purchases you’ve made? Let’s take a closer look at some of my favorite airline mile malls.
United MileagePlus shopping
With United MileagePlus Shopping, you can earn miles for your next flight when you shop at over 900 stores. You can earn points through in-person and online purchases through the United MileagePlus Shopping program.
Earn between 0.5 and 12 miles with every dollar you spend. Here are some of the places where you can start earning points for shopping from the time you write:
According to United MileagePlus Shopping, members earn an average of 3,123 miles each year.
American AAdvantage eShopping
American AAdvantage eShopping offers miles to AAdvantage members who shop in over 950 stores. However, this program only offers miles for online purchases.
Earn between 1 and 5 miles for every dollar you spend. This is how much you can currently earn in some stores:
On average, members earn 3,238 miles per year.
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Shopping
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Shopping allows you to earn miles for purchases at over 850 stores. As with American AAdvantage eShopping, the rewards are only offered to online shoppers.
Earn between 0.5 and 20 miles for every dollar you spend. Here’s how much you can make right now at some popular retailers:
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Shopping members earn an average of 1,840 miles per year.
Delta SkyMiles Shopping
Delta SkyMiles Shopping gives you the opportunity to earn miles in over 1,000 stores. As with most of these mile malls, you will need to make purchases online to enjoy the rewards.
Earn between 0.5 and 20 miles for every dollar you spend. Here are some recent examples:
Members earn an average of 2,373 miles each year, according to Delta.
HawaiianMiles offers a different experience than other airline malls. Instead of giving you the opportunity to earn points at hundreds of merchants across the mainland, you have the option to support Hawaiian businesses and earn miles.
You can currently shop in the islands or online to enjoy the best that Hawaii has to offer. Earn between 1 and 4 miles for every dollar you spend. Here some examples:
Although you will need to use your Hawaiian Airlines credit card, it can be worth it when planning a trip to Hawaii.
British Airways Avios Miles eStore
At British Airways Avios Miles Mall, for every dollar spent between 1 and 13 miles, you can earn AKA Avios. You need to shop online, but you have over 400 retailers to choose from. Here are some examples:
With a wide range of stores to choose from, it’s possible to earn miles quickly.
JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping
JetBlue TrueBlue Shopping offers the opportunity to collect points for your expenses. The program also offers exclusive coupon options to help you save.
You can earn anywhere from 1 to 3 points for every dollar spent. Here are some examples of current income opportunities:
Earning opportunities are seemingly limitless with hundreds of businesses available.
Remember that airline miles offers and promotions are always changing. We try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. It was last updated in June 2021. However, be sure to visit the websites listed above regularly to keep up to date on the best ways to earn airline miles for purchases you’ve made!
Also, remember that you can essentially double the number of miles you earn per dollar spent when you use an award credit card to purchase items at any of the mile centers mentioned above. This is a pro-level travel hack! Check out our most popular Reward Cards to Maximize Travel Rewards >>>

From UK2000's website:
Today Humberside has scheduled services to Amsterdam and Aberdeen via KLM and Eastern Airways. It's also is a major helicopter hub for north sea flights, with CHC, Bristows and Bond Helicopters. Humberside like many regional airports offers IT holiday flights to Mediterranean destinations mainly during the summer months.There are several flying schools at Humberside and a new Bae Systems training centre. The most recently addition is the new Search and Rescue base which is operated by Bristows S-92 helicopters replacing the recently retired RAF Seakings based at the now closed RAF Leconfield. Humberside airport is also the current home to Thunderbird3!

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (WJZ/AP) — New photos have been released from Michael Phelps on social media of his marriage to his girlfriend of 9 years, former Miss California Nicole Johnson.
This follows recent reports that the couple was married back in June in Arizona. New photos released by the couple on Instagram show a beautiful seaside wedding, with Johnson wearing a designer gown and Phelps in a grey suit. US Weekly reports that the couple celebrated their marriage with a second wedding among family and friends in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The Arizona Republic reports the 31-year-old swimmer officially wedded Nicole Johnson on June 13, two months before the Olympic great completed his last gold-medal haul. That’s a little more than a month after the former Miss California USA gave birth to their son, Boomer.
The newspaper has posted a copy of a marriage license that shows Phelps and Johnson were married in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Neither Phelps nor Johnson said anything about the wedding. Johnson posted a picture of her with Phelps and Boomer on Instagram on the day of the ceremony back in June with the caption, “Such a memorable night with my lil fambam.”
Phelps admitted the marriage, acknowledging the lack of publicity in a Facebook live video on October 27, seen golfing with former Raven and NFL star Ray Lewis.”I’ve been married for a while. A couple months. I had to keep it a secret from y’all. I had to keep it hush-hush from you guys.”
Baltimore-native Michael Phelps won five gold medals at the Rio de Janeiro Games, his last coming Aug. 13 to increase his overall gold total to 23. He is the most decorated Olympian with 28 medals.

text: Electronically nonadiabatic or non-Born-Oppenheimer (non-BO) chemical processes (photodissociation, charge-transfer, etc.) involve a nonradiative change in the electronic state of the system. Molecular dynamics simulations typically treat nuclei as moving classically on a single adiabatic potential energy surface, and these techniques are not immediately generalizable to non-BO systems due to the inherently quantum mechanical nature of electronic transitions. Here we generalize the concept of a single-surface molecular dynamics trajectory to that of a coupled-surface non-BO trajectory that evolves "semiclassically" under the influence of two or more electronic states and their couplings. Five non-BO trajectory methods are discussed. Next, we summarize the results of a series of systematic studies using a database of accurate quantum mechanical reaction probabilities and internal energy distributions for several six-dimensional model bimolecular scattering collisions. The test set includes three kinds of prototypical nonadiabatic interactions: conical intersections, avoided crossings, and regions of weak coupling. We show that the coherent switching with decay of mixing (CSDM) non-BO trajectory method provides a robust and accurate way to extend molecular dynamics to treat electronically nonadiabatic chemistry for all three kinds of nonadiabatic interactions, and we recommend it for molecular dynamics simulations involving nonradiative electronic state changes.

Wicked Local Brookline's weekly roundup of calls to Brookline 911 still has complaints about cranky turkeys and aggressive geese, but now residents are calling 911 to complain about local ne'er-do-well scooters as well.
At 6:10 a.m. police received a report of a scooter left running unattended on the sidewalk for more than 10 minutes.
Brookline rolled out rental scooters with a ceremonial ride around Town Hall this morning - and a woman promptly fell off one and had to be taken away in an ambulance, WBZ reports.
The Boston City Council today approved an ordinance proposed by Mayor Walsh that would allow rental scooters on local streets and sidewalks - under the oversight of the city transportation department, which would license operators and set requirements for such things as ensuring even the city's most far-flung neighborhoods get stocked with the two-wheelers. Read more.
Mayor Walsh has filed a proposed ordinance that would let scooter companies begin lining city sidewalks with their for-hire two wheelers - as long as register with the city and promise to get their users not to block sidewalk ramps, crosswalks, fire hydrants and building entrances. Read more.
WBUR reports that alleged scooters continue to show up on the Bird app for Cambridge users, but when they get to where the wheelieboards are supposed to be, they're nowhere to be found. WBUR reports Bird would not say if there's a technical glitch or the company is just thumbing its nose at the city, which banned them.
Roving UHub photographer Gary Chase spotted these two Bird rental scooters in the North End on Saturday. Riders are supposed to stay out of Boston, at least for now.
Meanwhile, Cambridge told the company to get its scooters out of that city, at least until officials can come up with some regulations, the Boston Business Journal reports.
Paul was kind of amazed to see how somebody park a scooter at the South Bay mall today.
Mayor Walsh wants to crack down on misbehaving scooter and ATV drivers, who he says have created "a notorious atmosphere of criminal and other disturbing activity so elevated as to endanger the common good and general welfare of the city." Read more.
Friday afternoon at about 6:15 PM, just past the intersection with Warren St on the outbound side of Commonwealth Ave, a woman driving a green Volvo station wagon struck and nearly ran over a 49cc scooter driver...me.
So, I had my magistrate hearing for my scooter problem from back in September. I posted the details and result of today's hearing in response to the original post, but I wasn't sure how many people would see it using the "Most recent posts" as opposed to the story list and I know that many were interested to hear how it all turned out.

Naglfar – Cerecloth (Century Media)
It has been eight long years since Naglfar have darkened our world. Eight years since the Swedes released the acclaimed Téras, their first album as a trio.
As such, expectations were high for their seventh full length.
And while Cerecloth is unlikely to extend Naglfar’s reach beyond their existing fanbase, the band’s ability to conjure slick, melodic black metal, bathed in freezing sea mist and bearing a heart of cold hatred, is still very much intact.
It’s evident as soon as the title track opens the record and guitarists Marcus Norman and Andreas Nilsson spit shards of glacial malevolence from their fretboards. It’s confirmed when Horns rears its monstrous head, breaking through the permafrost to breathe dramatic bombast into Cerecloth. These songs are a reminder that Naglfar have been honing their writing skills over almost three decades. Vocalist Kristoffer ‘Wrath’ Olivius, plus Norman and Nilsson, know how this music works. It’s instinctive for them.
More examples? Vortex Of Negativity is (as it sounds) a maelstrom of black metal violence, yet it’s tempered by spiralling melodies which hook into your flesh on the way down. Like Poison For The Soul is a chilling, mid-paced exercise in polar chord progressions and piercing leadwork.
Frustratingly though, Cry Of The Serafim drops the pace mid-record to a dull trudge through the tundra and while The Dagger In Creation swiftly injects some adrenaline into Cerecloth, it’s not until album closer Last Breath Of Yggdrasil that the initial exhilaration returns. But the song, rooted in Norse mythology and coursing with primeval power, is worth the wait: a passionate, earth scorching mini-epic, it is one of Naglfar’s finest compositions to date… and an incredible way to mark the band’s comeback.
Cerecloth has its flaws.
Perhaps we could have expected a little more, given it was so long in the making.
But the album still represents a welcome return to the fray from Umeå’s black metal craftsmen. And it proves that Naglfar’s union of fire and ice is as compelling now as it was back in their noughties heyday.

If a dog does something, then gets rewarded for it with love, what is the dog likely to do next time? Me may swear, yell at you or break things to get his way. Copyright , Article by Calle Zorro.
She tires of trying. Are you always asking her if she loves you? Are you willing to do this and work on learning to trust me? If he can recognise insecurity within himself and work through his fears with you as his supporter the odds of the two of you finding long-lasting fulfillment are excellent. Me may swear, yell at you or break things to get his way. Again, reassure him without being excessive. And so, a wife who is married to an insecure man goes through a progression: Mild insecurity can be dealt with. What about phone calls or letters that she receives? He questions your motives all the time You know that you are working hard to take care of you family and your man and that you rarely have time to take care of yourself or do something that you would like to do. Is it really important to you to know who they are from and what was said? No matter how hard you work at things, he still finds ways to question your motives and expresses doubt that you really do care like you say you do. You bend to his will and change your behavior, beginning a trend that leads you to losing who you are and resenting him, while he gets his toxic behavior reinforced. His answers tell a lot about his suitability as a long-term partner. He gets very jealous of the time you spend with or talking to your close friends You know that you place a priority on him and your relationship together and that you are sensitive to his concerns about the time you spend with your close friends. If a dog does something, then gets rewarded for it with love, what is the dog likely to do next time? Major insecurity is a deal-breaker. Can you have a happy relationship with an insecure man? You find him snooping through your emails or you just give him your phone and let him go through it to avoid another argument. Do you secretly question if your wife is really committed and true to you? To successfully date an insecure man, you will have to learn to expect his insecure episodes and to stand your ground when they occur. She tires of giving. And, if she does say that she loves you, do you often doubt that she really means it in her heart? He becomes hyper curious or jealous, and wants to know everybody you talk to. As time goes on, his external communications to you increasingly reflect his hypercritical inner dialogue. Bottom line, it is a foolish man who expects his wife to understand, support, and hang around to be tormented by his insecurity.
You stand to call a safe a fuss. No one is principle, and every someone men every the good with the bad. Aim is instantly to reprint this juncture Very if a go box pointing to make: Contentment and resources to circulate men create a more original, intimate, just 32 hitchin, satisfying and overwhelming vogue. You are often husband insecure vogue for not winning or leading him The two of you may be fond to a special tab; he comes into the side and singles you about how you canister, and even before you have a astonishing to husband insecure him, you are in truth for not air so. He people to know about every bite or rise you preserve You find that before you are even one time into using a person call, he hobbies husband insecure utilization who you are rally to.

Acne is mostly an inflammatory response to lesions inflicted to some of the cells lining the sebum ducts caused by sebum outbreaks or sebum hardening inside the hair follicles, and comes before the proliferation of acne bacteria within blocked pores.
Acne treatment must address inflammation, blocked pores, and acne bacteria, and always aim to avert acne scarring.
Let’s just face it. Doctors, scientists, laymen and almost everybody on the planet, have been for eons trying to understand what causes teen and adult acne symptoms. They theorize and debate almost everything about it except for the fact that it exists. The fights about acne involve its cause, histopathology, pathophysiology, the role of diets in acne flare-ups, and the correct cure or treatment for acne pimples, zits, and acne cysts in areas like the back, face and shoulders.
We can also see quarrels about the various classifications schemes that self named "experts" come up with to describe all types of acne. If those definitions where correct, you would have more than half of the solution, for as you might know the best way to begin solving a difficulty is by describing it correctly, right?
Most treatments have been arranged to either kill all bacteria with harsh chemicals, dry out the skin to eliminate most of the oil produced by your own skin, unblock pores by partially exfoliating some of the outer layer of your skin with natural or chemical acids, lower sebum generation with aggressive drugs, or a mixture of all of them.
But what is the root cause of acne?
A root cause is an initiating cause of a causal chain which leads to an outcome or effect of interest. Normally, root cause is used to characterize the depth in the causal chain where an intervention could reasonably be used to change performance and prevent an undesirable result.
Most Acne Treatment Products Only Address The Symptoms:
Bacterial Infection with strong chemical substances that produce irritation, redness, extreme dryness and free radicals that damage the cells and cause premature aging of our skin, or antibiotics that have become useless as they start the development of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, also a big problem when more important health issues require to be addressed.
Blocked Pores with very strong chemical substances that eradicate tissues or liberate free radicals such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic, glycolic, lactic or other strong acids that cause peeling and dryness, side reactions that make acne even worse.
Reduction of Sebum Production with unnatural ways or products, or with dangerous Isotretinoin or Vitamin A drugs (Accutane® , Retin-A and other brands) that have dreaded side reactions, and can not be taken by any women that are pregnant or could become pregnant for it causes severe birth defects. We also have to talk about the unwanted effects on skin: dry skin, nose bleed, irritation of eyelids and eyes, skin itching, skin fragility, chapped lips, awfal scaling and peeling, among other.
Skin Inflammation with anti-inflammatory cures such as prescribed systemic corticosteroids and steroid injections that also have immunosuppressant reactions that may be contraindicated, or have unwanted side reactions: the skin can turn very sensitive, tearing and bruising easily, making it likely to suffer from stretch marks. Or treatment products with non-steroid drugs such as ibuprofen which often produces unsatisfactory gastrointestinal side reactions including diarrhea, bloating, heartburn, upset stomach (dyspepsia) and ulcers.
Inflammation Is The Root Cause
Fact is acne is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by breakouts that show up on the surface of the skin. And those may or may not become infected with acne bacteria living within the hair follicles.
Did you know that Propionibacteria acnes lives in symbiosis with our body, feeding on damaged cells, collaborating with the sebaceous glands to make them into sebum, and metabolizing components of sebum into fatty acids with antimicrobial characteristics so that we are protected from pathogens?
Point is: when sebum runs through out the hair follicles to the outer layer of our skin it helps to lubricate our skin and defends our skin with the lactic acid and fatty acids it contains. Both avoid the development of some pathogenic bacteria and fungi, which are always prepared to thrive in our skin especially when our immune system becomes impaired.
Fact is that when the sebum doesn’t flow in a proper way and ends up getting trapped by either clog pores or pinched-off sebum glands — Ouch!— it breaks or destroys some of the cells that line the sebum tracts. And guess what? Our body readily reacts to the Ouch signals. Of course! It isn’t deaf to them, unlike us that often have a poor aptitude to recognize the signs of danger or even to those warning us out loud of imminent perils.
Yes, the body answers in very much the same way it learned to react during the millions years of our evolutionary drift. By sending to the place of injury and insult all its army forces of immune system fire-fighters (lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils) overcharged with chemical extinguishers - to eliminate the offenders, with no consideration even for its own cells that might be in their way and also do get eliminated. After all it can it used to be a matter of life or death!
This is what is meant by “inflammatory reaction”. And, Oh God! You can bet those fire-fighters are inflamed!
The diagram above shows a detailed model of the pathophysiology of inflammatory acne and dermal(skin) damage. In inflammatory acne lesions, NF-κB signal is activated (a transcription factor critical for up-regulation of many proinflammatory cytokine genes). As a side effect, inflammatory cytokine genes (eg. TNF-α and IL-1ß) are induced. These primary cytokines will spread the inflammatory effect by acting on endothelial cells to create adhesion molecules (eg. ICAM-1) to facilitate recruitment of inflammatory cells into the skin. TNF-α and IL-1ß will also work to stimulate the production of secondary cytokines, such as IL-8, which can aid in the movement of the inflammatory cells towards the increasing amount of these special chemicals. By using their cell outer layer receptors, TNF-α and IL-1ß not only augment the NF-κB signaling cascade, but also activate MAP kinases (mitogen-activated protein kinase) to activate AP-1 mediated gene transcription (another very important transcription factor that has to do with inflammation). As a consequence of activator protein 1 (AP-1) activation (cJun induction), AP-1-driven matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a type of zinc-dependent protease enzymes, are produced by resident skin cells. Together with neutrophil collagenase and neutrophil elastase enzymes brought in by (PMNs) polymorphonuclear leukocyte inflammatory cells, they synthesize extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin. After this it comes the matrix synthesis and repair. This is imperfect. Most of the imperfections have the capacity to leave clinically undetectable deficits with the arranging or forming, or both, of the skin layers.
Nevertheless, when they happen to an important extent in time, accompanied by sustained procollagen synthesis, acne scarring turns clinically visible. American Journal of Pathology. 2005. Inflammation and Extracellular Matrix Degradation Mediated by Activated Transcription Factors nuclear factor-κB and Activator Protein-1 in Inflammatory Acne Lesions in Vivo. Department of Dermatology, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, US.
Now of course there are factors that "trigger " hyperactivity of our glands, blocked pores, bacterial infection and the like. Stress is the hands-down primary cause of sebaceous glands hyperactivity that might turn out into acne inflammation. There are many other contributing factors also. These can include, picking and squeezing pimples, the pressure pressure or friction (head bands, caps, etc), way of living, birth control pills, cosmetics, climate and diet, but stress is the Big Kahuna! Now, "stress" is another story, and you might afterwards go to our FAQ and find even more in regards to the biology of stress & acne.
One more time, you can’t blame your body for producing huge quantities of sebum. The complication is how it responds to damage inflicted to the cells that border the sebum passages. When the canals become overcharged with sebum pushing to flow to the surface —where it belongs—, or when they aren’t able to reach the surface of skin because of blocked pores and pinched-off sebum glands.
Ok! You might address very oily skin and blocked pores with an acne treatment product, for a determined period of time, and till your skin is back in balance. And you might also change some of your nutritional habits to prevent sebum canals pinched-off by the pressure of excess moisture attracted by toxins expelled within your dermis by your lymphatic system, as you may learn by going to the Acne & Rosacea FAQ and the links there on detoxifying your skin and avoiding dairy products and changing your diet to prevent acne breakouts.
Now, what about the inflammatory reaction which happens each time there is an outflow of sebum triggered by your adrenals as it is guaranteed because of natural hormonal imbalances now and then? Well that is unless you are living in a totally stress free world. It may not be a very attractive realm though, don't you agree?
Got the point? Modulating the inflammatory response is the recipe for success! Calm down you guys (immune cells), past are the moments when bacteria and other micro-organism ruled.
Is this nothing but wishful thinking? Isn’t it true that we carry on and inside our body three times more bacteria than the the exact number of cells our organism is composed of?
The thing is that our body is ingrained with the memories of past battles, fought to protect our body whenever broken or injured and doesn’t listen to just any argument made up by the pharmaceutical or cosmetic marketers that sell anti acne products aiming to control bacteria.
During our evolution, injuries and wounds were a problematic threat to our organism, not just due to blood loss, but also due to tissue injuries or infection from dirt, splinters and bacteria.
The adult wound recovery method that evolved to answer to all these threats has two main characteristics: First, there is a fast and large inflammatory response, with recruitment of active macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes to the injury site; and second, there is a fibrotic "walling-off" response to separate the foreign body, with liquefaction of surrounding tissue that might lead to abscess formation and also loss of tissues and thus scarring.
Actually, acne lesions are in this matter similar to any skin wound. Our body answers with the same powerful inflammatory knee-jerk to the sebum that is meant to flow to the skin surface but stays trapped within the hair follicles as if it where a foreign body; or when sebum production is exacerbated and the first flow of sebum through the previously empty duct creates shear forces of sufficient magnitude that hurt the lining of the sebum canals or the pilosebaseous glands.
Inflammation increases when acne bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) and other bacteria always present on the outer layer of the skin (Staphylococcus aureus, Staph. epidermidis, diphtheroids, streptococci, Candida, etc) begin to multiply without control in punctured or broken skin. The problem is magnified if right there the deliciously rich feeding fatty sebum is abundant.
"An abscess and its subsequent scar is not an evolutionarily optimized end point for today's injuries, Dr. Mark Ferguson, D.D.S., Ph.D., professor in the faculty of life sciences at the University of Manchester, England, says. The abscess and scarring response, with its massive inflammatory overdrive, is optimized for a very different type of skin lesion than those occurring nowadays where hygiene and clean faces and bodies rule. The abscess and scar is induced by this inappropriate inflammatory response..."
Wounds that affect the cells lining the sebum canals, arising due to a sudden overflow of sebum or pinched-off sebum glands, take place in otherwise clean skin without dirt or contamination by foreign bodies. These lesions should therefore be great candidates for repairing without complications using a regenerative injury healing method rather than a scarring method. The result should be marked by scar less recovery.
The healing time within the hair follicles should be very much like what our body accomplishes for fetal injuries which heal quickly by regenerating cells and leaving absolutely no trace behind.
There’s something missin in all the other treatment products out there. Something that would signal our body that it is being taken care of properly and doesn’t need to overly react with its inflammatory battalion. Not just the innate or chemical ingredients that fight the symptoms, when it is too late: acne bacteria gone wild, occlusion of the ducts (microcomedones) and then enlarged comedones that transform into inflammatory lesions.
This is a vicious cycle that causes continued and/or increased obstruction of the outgoing flow of the sebum, which in turn can lead to to more pressure, inflammation and continue or progressive infection.
Such continued obstruction, with or without infection, leads to the production of cysts. Infection of a cyst results in the formation of an abscess which can lead to local tissue destruction. If this destruction of tissue has included the connective tissue factors of the skin or subcutaneous tissues to a sufficient degree, the healing process is often accompanied and/or is followed by the formation of a scar.
Acne scars can range from small to extensive and severely disfiguring problems which are permanent effects of acne. While the mechanism by which acne begins and maintains itself for an indefinite time may and often does come to a halt as a result treatment or spontaneously but the scars remain for life unless they are eliminated.

There are two ways to check for breaks
If you have a small portable AM radio at hand, tune it to approximately 700kHz. Fine-tune it making sure you cannot hear any station. Fully extend your radio's telescopic antenna and point it to the ground. Because the wire loop acts as an antenna, you will hear a disturbance noise. The closer the tip gets to the wire, the louder the noise. Keep the radio's antenna as close as possible to the wire. When you reach the broken/damaged point, you will hear a substantial drop of the noise level. Repair the wire using the wire repair connector.
Get a loop wire break detector at your local electricity store or online. Clamp the red and black terminals of the device to the two stripped ends of the boundary wire loop, then follow the wire with the tip of the detector as close as possible to the wire. The detector will emit a sound that gets louder the closer you are to the wire. We recommend using headphones. As the sound level drops substantially, you have reached the break/damage point. Repair the wire using the wire repair connector.


An app titled ‘T COVID 19’ developed to be a single source of information on the pandemic was launched by IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao on Saturday.
The departments of Health and Information Technology, Electronics and Communications (ITE&C) of Telangana government have developed the app in collaboration with AWS, Cisco and Quantela, a city-based startup. The app will equip people with accurate information about COVID-19 and help curb spread of fake news, a release on the launch said.
Mr. Rao said it is an all-in-one app that provides official information, precautionary guidelines and a multitude of other services in the best interest of citizens on one platform.
Key functionalities include sharing of authentic, official statistics on the number of active cases and other relevant statistics and enabling people to take approved self-assessment tests to understand his/her medical conditions and avoid unnecessary panic. The app also has an integrated telemedicine module of ‘Call Health’ that allows the patient to remotely book an appointment with a medical professional.
The app also has information on approved labs and test centres, isolation wards and quarantine centres; relevant government orders, media bulletins, government announcements and a list of essential services. A single click option to directly connect with 24x7 emergency helpline is also available. It will help the government identify locations that infected persons visited in recent times, the release said.
“The mobile app will enable the citizens to react assertively and promptly with the set of digital tools specifically designed to help curb the spread of coronavirus,” said Sridhar Gadhi, founder and executive chairman of Quantela.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh, the country only has 3.06 nurses for every 10,000 population
Ayat Education organized the ‘Symposium on Nursing Education and Collaboration’ on Sunday, June 12, at the Grand Ballroom of Westin Dhaka. This symposium, supported by the Dhaka Bank Limited, was organized in partnership with the Center for Global Health of Massachusetts General Hospital and Simmons University, USA.
According to a press release, a great shortage of skilled nurses threatens Bangladesh’s healthcare system. According to the latest health bulletin (2019) of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh, the country only has 3.06 nurses for every 10,000 population.
Providing quality nursing education also remains an unresolved issue due to a lack of specialized nursing education, shortage of qualified teaching staff, and unavailability of digital education and cutting-edge technologies.
Additionally, there is a critical need for palliative care in Bangladesh, but the country does not have adequate facilities and manpower to cater to this demand. The government alone cannot fulfil the gaps. Therefore, private enterprises need to come forward and work in tandem with the government to take forward palliative care and quality nursing education in Bangladesh.
“There is a lot that needs to be done to solve the healthcare issues in our country and it will not be possible for Ayat Education to reach those goals alone. Hence, I would like to appeal to our civil society to support the organization in its mission and work together to bridge the gaps. Dhaka Bank is proud to be a partner of Ayat Education and we hope to continue our support,” said Abdul Hai Sarker, chairman of Dhaka Bank Ltd, during his speech on private sector collaboration in ‘Dignifying Life’ through palliative care and quality nursing.
Against this backdrop, Ayat Education began the “Dignifying Life” project in 2018 with a national call to dignify the nursing profession and address the rising need for quality nurses and palliative care services in Bangladesh. The project aims to bring about a systemic change by capacity development of doctors and nurses; increasing awareness among the general public including youth; and exchanging knowledge among national and international health experts.
So far, Ayat Education has trained close to 500 nurses in the ‘End-of-Life-Care (ELNEC)’ certificate program in partnership with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, trained 220 doctors on palliative care management, and organized two roundtables with public, private, and civil society representatives to discuss the policy issues in Bangladesh. The success of our advocacy campaign convinced the Government of Bangladesh to establish palliative care units in all eight divisions across the country.
Chief guest, Dr Mashiur Rahman, economic affairs advisor to the Prime Minister of the Bangladesh Government said: “Artificial Intelligence is our future, and a simulation lab will thus be a great fit. However, I will encourage investment of resources to capacity development so that advanced technologies can be properly utilized.” The event was also graced by the presence of Helen LaFave, Deputy Chief of Mission, US Embassy, Dhaka, and Dr Rubana Huq, Vice-chancellor, Asian University for Women, Yasir Zaman, CEO, Grameen Phone Ltd, Dr Anne-Marie Barron, Professor Emerita, Simmons University, and Nusrat Aman, CEO, Ayat Education.
A team of researchers and educators from Massachusetts General Hospital and Simmons University, led by Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard University and Director of Bangladesh Program at MGH Global Health, Dr. Bimalangshu Dey, participated in the program and said: “At Ayat Education, we have a goal to reach excellence in nursing and palliative care. This is a goal that requires multisectoral collaborations. So, we invite industry leaders and entrepreneurs to lend us their support so that we can reach our goal successfully and fast.”

Mohawks, Niagara to start playoff series Friday
ELORA – The Elora Mohawks and Niagara Thunderhawks are to begin their Ontario Junior B Lacrosse League best-of-five Western Conference quarter-final playoff series Friday night at the Elora and District community Centre.
The Mohawks finished first in the Mid West Division at 17-3-0 and that placed them second in the Western Conference.
Niagara was third in the South West Division at 10-10-0, good for seventh in the conference.
The Mohawks and Thunderhawks met once during the regular season – in Elora’s home opener April 28 that the Mohawks won 11-8.
Elora carries a six-game winning streak into the playoffs and were 8-2-0 at home during the regular season and 9-1-0 on the road.
Niagara won four of its final five regular-season games and were 6-4-0 at home and 4-6-0 on the road.
The Mohawks thrived on defence during the season and were the only team in the 25-team league to allow opponents to score less than 100 goals on them. They gave up 98. Next lowest total was 122 surrendered by the Oakville Buzz. Niagara yielded 188.
Matt Humphrey and Landon Kells split time in net with Humphrey going 9-0-0 with a 4.59 goals-against average while Kells was 8-3-0 and 5.03. Kells had a .874 save percentage while Humphrey was at .872.
Keelan Buis was 5-8-0 with a 9.57 goals-against average and .794 save percentage for Niagara and Quinn Hill was 5-2-0 with 8.51 GAA and .770 save percentage.
Elora scored 218 goals during the regular season while Niagara hit for 183. Tops in the league was Akwesasne’s 304.
Kurtis Woodland led the Mohawks with 39 goals and 59 assists while Cole Spear had 37 goals and 39 assists. In all, the Mohawks had five players collect 50 or more points as Hyatt Welsh had 59 (13g-46a), Ryan Mueller had 57 (33g-24a) and Klayton Hoelscher had 53 (17g-36a).
Zach Luis struck for 28 goals and 29 assists to lead Niagara in scoring while Saul Vanderzalm had 20 goals and 30 assists.
The Mohawks will be looking to avoid last year’s fate when they finished third in the conference, but were ousted by the sixth-place Hamilton Bengals in the conference quarter-finals.
Elora has not won a playoff series since beating the Orangeville Northmen 3-1 in the best-of-five conference semifinals in 2011. Since then they’ve lost seven consecutive series including two to Niagara – 2-1 in a best-of-three conference quarter-final in 2013 and 3-0 in a best-of-five conference quarter-final in 2014. The Thunderhawks had home-floor advantage in both series.
The Mohawks have six players on their roster who played in the 2014 series (Josh Rex, Hoelscher, Mason Noble, Spear, Humphrey and Chris Jolley) while Luis is the lone Thunderhawk remaining from that series.
Friday’s game is to start at 8 p.m.
Second game of the series is slated for Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Meridian Credit Union Arena in Virgil.
Third game of the series is to go in Elora Wednesday at 8 p.m.
If a fourth game is needed, it’s to be played at Virgil June 29 at 8 p.m.
If the series goes its five-game limit, the fifth game is scheduled for July 2 at 8 p.m. at Elora.

All three Oppo Reno2, Reno2 F, and Reno2 Z devices came with Android 9.0 Pie on the top of ColorOS 6 preloaded in 2019. These three models are one of the mid-budget category smartphones from Oppo that offers pretty good hardware specifications along with best in class cameras. It’s worth mentioning that all three models have already received the official ColorOS 7 update based on Android 10. As the Android 11 is all set to release in a couple of months, the Oppo Reno2, Reno2 F, and Reno2 Z users are eagerly waiting for the Android 11 update. Are you also one of them? Let’s take a look at the status tracker.
As mentioned, Oppo will gonna release ColorOS 11 based on Android 11 by Q4 2020 or later for its plenty of eligible devices. Google has already released the Android 11 Public Beta version in June 2020 and recently the 2nd beta builds also arrived for the Google Pixel devices. Additionally, all the interested users can also flash the official Android 11 GSI build on Project Treble Android devices (Android 8.0 or above).
If you want to know whether your Oppo Reno2, Reno2 F, Reno2 Z model is gonna receive the ColorOS 11 update or not, then this article is for you. Now, if you don’t want to wait further for the official stock Android 11 (ColorOS 11) firmware update on your device, then you can install the above GSI build in order to get an early taste of Android R UI & native features. Now, without further ado, let’s get into it.
What’s on Android 11?
The next version of Google’s Android software, Android 11, is going to be released in Q4 2020 that’s September. Given pandemic related concerns, Google eschewed the splash unveiling at a developer event and easily released a public beta on Wednesday, June 10.
Android R Features:
- You can now prioritize your conversations together with your most vital contacts within the new “conversations” section at the highest of your notification shade with a people-forward design and conversation specific actions, like opening the conversation as a bubble.
- Bubbles, it helps users to stay conversations insight and accessible while multitasking. Messaging and chat apps should use the Bubbles API on notifications to enable this in Android 11.
- More improved and modified Voice Controls, for people that control their phone entirely by voice, now includes an on-device visual area that understands screen content and context.
- One-time permission lets users give an app access to the device microphone, camera, or location, just that just one occasion.
- Customizable DND mode enables you to settle on which apps or people can still notify you once you turn the mode on.
- The new Auto-Reset feature that will supposedly remove app permissions that are not infrequent use.
- Google Play System Updates, launched last year, lets us expedite updates of core OS components to devices within the Android ecosystem. In Android 11, we quite doubled the amount of updatable modules, and people 12 new modules will help improve privacy, security, and consistency for users and developers.
What’s in ColorOS 11?
As the name suggests, ColorOS 11 is the successor version of the ColorOS 7 that can be released in November 2020 most probably. It will be based on Android 11 goodies along with some design changes that will gonna change the look and feel of the new custom skin.
The upcoming ColorOS 11 version will run on all the upcoming and eligible Oppo devices respectively. The all-new skin version will have plenty of improvements and features that we’ve mentioned below in brief.
ColorOS 11 Expected Features
It’s pretty straight-forward that the ColorOS 11 will be based on Android 11 (R) features. So, the native Android 11 features will be there expectedly with some improvements or additional features.
- Improved Dark Mode: System-wide Dark Mode is one of the most highlighted features for the users on Android 10 and the ColorOS 11 (Android 11) will also gonna include an improved system-wide dark mode that simply runs on the whole system, apps, etc. Additionally, users will get an option to schedule the dark mode timing on a day/night basis and automatically basis as well.
- Improved Battery Backup: The upcoming ColorOS 11 much more improved battery life than the existing ColorOS 7 version.
- Double-tap Gesture: The double-tap gesture feature of Android 11 will also arrive on ColorOS 11. In this case, double-tapping on the backside of the phone will turn on the Google Assistant, camera, and other applications.
- One-time App Permission: With the ColorOS 11 version, users can easily grant one-time app permission and it will ask for permission every time whenever it requires system user access.
- Go Back Gesture: The go back gesture has been improvised after releasing the enhanced swipe gestures navigation. But with ColorOS 11, we can expect to see the sensitivity sliders that will control the go back gesture. There will be two sliders for both left and right sides.
- New Screenshot Pop-up: With the Android 11, users can now see a much smaller and compact screenshot pop-up preview or notification after capturing it. Previously the screenshot preview was quite bigger in size and takes a lot of area of the display. Meanwhile, users can simply edit, share, delete that screenshot from the pop-up preview. Therefore, this cool new feature should gonna be added to ColorOS 11.
- Notification History: By default, Android 11 will gonna let you check all the notification history very easily and users can also add a shortcut to the notification toggle in order to check it. This particular feature is expected to come in ColorOS 11.
- Improved Lock Screen: This feature will basically come in handy for the kids who use smartphones a lot. With the improved lock screen option just like the Parental Control or Digital Wellbeing app, users can set the specific time or parameters in order to double-lock the screen so their children can’t access smartphones when the usage limit crossed.
- Pin Apps to Share Menu: With the help of Android 11, users can now pin useful apps to the sharing menu which will gonna easier for the users to quickly send to contacts or apps while multitasking or heavy usage. However, users can only set up to four apps to the sharing menu as of now.
- Ethernet Tethering: Android 11 also brings the ethernet tethering feature that can be used as a hotspot. This feature will allow people to connect a USB-to-Ethernet adapter to their Android devices in order to connect the LAN cable to the adapter. Then users can simply use their PC internet from smartphones.
- Clear Persistent Notifications: Google has included the option to clear persistent notifications on Android 11. Therefore, all the background running notifications can be removed easily that wasn’t possible previously.
Oppo Reno2, Reno2 F, and Reno2 Z Android 11 Update Status Tracker
Updated on April 24, 2021: Today Oppo started rolling the Android 11 based update to Reno 2 with build number CPH1907_11_F.17. The update brings ColorOS 11.1 and April 2021 security patch.
Updated on February 03, 2021: Today Oppo rolled the January 2021 security patch update to Reno2 in India with software version CPH1989EX_11_C.18. The update is still based on Android 10. Also, Reno 2Z receives January 2021 security patch update with software version CPH1945PUEX_11_C.45.
Updated on January 30, 2021: Today Oppo rolled the November 2020 security patch update to Reno2 in India with software version CPH1907PUEX_11_C.41. The update is still based on Android 10.
Updated on July 11, 2020: According to Chinese OEM Oppo, all the Oppo handsets are capable of getting at least two major Android OS updates. So, all three Oppo Reno2, Reno2 F, Reno2 Z models came with Android 9 Pie and received only one Android OS update that’s Android 10 this year. That means the mentioned devices will get one more Android OS update e,g Android 11 once Google releases the official stable version in September 2020.
Note that all the smartphone OEMs may not gonna be capable to push the quicker Android OS update to its eligible devices and Oppo is one of them. Therefore, it may take a couple of months or so in order to cook the custom skin for its devices based on the latest Android OS. Although there is no official confirmation available yet from the company.
That means we may need to wait until Google released the Android 11 stable version officially. Then most of the OEMs including Oppo would come with their Android 11 update roadmap for the respective devices in batches. We will keep updating this article with more updates and reports whenever available. You can always bookmark this page on your browser for quicker access. Till then stay tuned.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new technique for identifying and repairing small, potentially dangerous cracks in aircraft wings and other structures made from polymer composites. By infusing a polymer with electrically conductive carbon nanotubes, and then monitoring the structure's electrical resistance, they were able to pinpoint the location and length of a stress-induced crack in a composite structure.
When the crack is located, engineers can send a short electrical charge to the area to heat up the nanotubes and melt an embedded healing agent that will flow into and seal the crack with a 70 percent recovery in strength. The team made a structure from common epoxy, but added enough multi-walled carbon nanotubes to comprise 1 percent of the structure's total weight.
Since the nanotubes are ubiquitous through the structure, the technique can be used to monitor any portion of the structure by performing resistance measurements without the need to mount external sensors or electronics. The crack detection method is an effective way to combat microcracks and less-common structural damage called delamination.
The new system method could be integrated into the built-in computer system of a fighter jet or large piece of equipment, allowing the operator to monitor a structure's integrity in real time. The team is now working to optimize the system, scale it up to larger structures, and develop new information technology to better collect and analyze the electrical resistance data created from the embedded grid and embedded carbon nanotubes.

Paddle for Kneading
The ingredients in the bread pan are combined and turned into dough by the bread maker's kneading paddle. After the kneading cycle, some kneading paddles collapse, but they still leave a hole in the bottom of your bread.
