Repaired tug helps oil tanker dock after delay
An oil tanker that had to anchor off Bermudas coast for more than three days due to broken tug boats finally arrived on Saturday morning.
Butterfly arrived in Bermudas waters on Tuesday afternoon from the Bahamas to deliver fuel for Belco.
However, it was unable to berth at the oil docks in St Georges because two of the Islands three tugs had broken down. The bill for the wasted time will have to be footed by Belco.
Butterfly eventually managed to discharge its load on Saturday after the newly-repaired tug Edward M Stowe and Powerful, which remained in service, escorted it in.
It set sail back to the Bahamas yesterday lunchtime.
Belco has declined to comment on the cost of the delay.

The Russian Armed Forces' long-range missiles hit an industrial enterprise in Odessa, which stored Harpoon missiles transferred to Ukraine by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries, Konashenko said. In the attack, a launcher and a transport cargo vehicle of a HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system were destroyed, he added.
Another attack launched by Russia from the air, according to the Ministry of Defense, caused up to 200 fatal casualties at a base of the 92nd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city of Chuguev, Kharkov province.

If you are addicted to gambling, you should know that there are many resources available to help you recover. You can seek help by talking with a professional or gambling counsellor. Gambling counsellors can help you overcome your addiction and improve your overall quality of life. Most of these services are confidential and free. Many are even available 24 hours a day. Read on to learn more about these resources. We hope that this article has helped you to overcome your gambling addiction.
The effects of gambling can be observed on a personal, interpersonal, and community level. These impacts can be categorized into two main categories, positive and negative. External impacts include costs and benefits to the economy, tourism, health, and well-being of individuals and communities. Internal and interpersonal impacts are personal and may include effects on relationships, productivity, job gains, and economic development. Health and well-being impacts can range from temporary to long-term. If you or someone you love is addicted to gambling, it can have devastating effects on your personal life.
Problem gamblers should make a long-term commitment to stop gambling. It’s easy to get swept up in the thrill of winning big. However, there’s no denying that gambling has become a serious problem for many people. You need to overcome your cravings for gambling. You need to find ways to eliminate temptations and replace them with healthier activities. Listed below are some of the most common ways to overcome the addiction to gambling.
Social settings and the dream of winning money also influence motivation for gambling. Many gambling venues offer social settings, which can be very motivating. However, there are also those who seek to gamble as a way to escape from their problems. This type of gambling is especially common among those who suffer from problem gambling. The following three types of social settings influence gambling motivation:
Gambling is a major international commercial activity. In 2009, the legal gambling industry accounted for $335 billion dollars. In addition to casinos and poker rooms, gambling is also conducted with objects and materials with value. For example, marbles are frequently used as betting instruments, while collectible game pieces are staked by Magic: The Gathering players. Such games have also developed a meta-game surrounding the collection of individual players. The result is that gambling often influences the choice of the wagers a person makes.
Children who are still young may be more susceptible to gambling. They might start playing card games as a way to pass time or as a means to alleviate boredom or anxiety. As they get older, children may develop problem gambling. In fact, it’s estimated that one in five people will become addicted to gambling at some point. In addition to the risk of losing money, gambling may also have emotional effects on some individuals. A child’s age at the time of addiction is important to understand how it can impact them.
While coping with problem gambling is not a fun experience, there are many ways to help your loved one recover. One of the best ways to do this is by establishing boundaries around finances. These boundaries can help the gambler stay accountable and avoid a relapse. However, it is important to be aware that recovery is a process that is likely to be filled with challenges. If the addiction is severe enough, it can affect all aspects of a person’s life.

A freedom of information by the BBC found councils were unable to recycle 338,000 tonnes of household waste in 2014-15, compared to 184,000 tons in 2011-12.
The figures show the cost of re-sorting contaminated waste was the main reason for rubbish being rejected.
A spokesperson for the Local Government Association said: ‘The problem is there is widespread confusion over what can and cannot be recycled. If just one non-recyclable item is included with recyclable items, the whole bin is effectively contaminated. Councils then have to re-sort it, which is time consuming and very expensive.
‘There is no one-size-fits-all solution to waste collection. What works in an inner city suburb won’t necessarily work


The UCF Knights Baseball team had some soul searching to do, head coach Greg Lovelady said on Saturday.
The Knights had just lost their second game to Samford, 7-6, as well as the series. It did not help that David Litchfield, the only weekend starting pitcher to escape injury last weekend against UNC Greensboro, exited that evening’s game with what Lovelady called a lower-body injury.
“I think we’ve just kind of maybe hit the panic button a little bit and just gotten away from what made us really really good,” Lovelady said. “This isn’t the team that we were three weeks ago, this isn’t the team that I know we can be.”
While the team would respond with an 11-1 run-rule victory the next day, it still served as the end to its second consecutive 1-2 weekend series.
Game 1: “We just didn’t do enough”
In a low-scoring game, a single pitch can change the course of an entire game. This is something the Knights experienced in their 4-3 extra-inning loss in Game 1 on Friday.
Less than a week after he earned his first save of the season, William Saxton received the starting nod. In 5.2 innings of work, he allowed one run on four hits.
“We needed to find a way to give some depth, just in terms of getting through the game and not taxing our bullpen, and he did exactly what we needed to do,” Lovelady said.

By Saxton’s exit, the Knights scored their first run on a sacrifice bunt by 1B Ben Rushing, bringing home RF Tom Josten. However, Samford responded with an RBI sacrifice fly ball and tied the game.

While the bullpen would not be overstretched, it still needed to preserve a two-run lead that the team built in the 6th inning.

B6 | 2, 1#ChargeOn⚔ pic.twitter.com/WX3Fxq6jtO
However, all it took was one pitch in the 8th inning to change the game.
Between UCF’s three bullpen pitchers, they allowed four hits in 4.1 innings. One of those hits was the two-run homer that tied the game in the 8th inning and another was a 10th-inning double that ultimately became the deciding run.
“Couple pitches either way, we find a way to win, but we just didn’t do enough,” Lovelady said.
However, Lovelady also said the offense could not put together quality at-bats or make enough adjustments.
“We’re just not getting enough of those big hits,” Lovelady said. “Guys just need to relax the play, but at the same time, they need to rise up and get the job done when they get chances—not be timid or scared to go out there and just enjoy the moments and trust all the training and have fun up there and just try to get the job done.”
Game 2: “We got a lot of soul searching to do”
While the offense was able to score more runs in Saturday’s Game 2, it was forced to play from behind most of the game. Ultimately, it would not be enough as the Knights fell once more, 7-6.
Litchfield gave up the first trio of Samford’s runs in the 1st inning. Though, the Knights tied the game up by the 4th thanks to solo home runs by SS Alex Freeland and Josten and an RBI single by Rushing that brought home 3B Michael Brooks.

However, Samford retook the lead in the 5th, hitting a solo home run, an RBI double, and an RBI groundout on the UCF bullpen. The latter two scores were helped along by two UCF errors.
“We need our bullpen to be a lot better in terms of consistency than we’ve been,” Lovelady said. “It’s almost like a flip of the coin sometimes of who we’re gonna see: the good version or the bad version.”
Once again, the Knights offense worked to catch up. They came within one run in the 8th inning thanks to a throwing error by Samford 3B Will David, which allowed Brooks and C Andrew Sundean to score.

Yet, the Bulldogs were able to get one more RBI double to make it a two-run game. Despite a second home run on the night for Freeland in the bottom of the 9th, the Knights came up short.

“We had opportunities and chances to blow the game open or get back in the game and we just couldn’t take advantage of it,” Lovelady said. “We kept fighting back, which was great, but it seemed like every time that we started to get some momentum, we did something stupid and killed the momentum.”
Game 3: “It kind of hit the reset button”
As Lovelady said after Game 1, Staine made his first start since sustaining back spasms on Sunday for Game 3, which the Knights would go on to win in seven innings, 11-1.
“It was it was a great feeling more so than a concerned feeling,” Staine said. “Now, the first batter, I think there was a lot of jitters coming back, even though it’s within a couple days. There’s always just kind of like that that angst and that excitement.”
Staine only pitched for two innings, and Lovelady said he would not go more than that.
“We’ll see obviously how he feels tomorrow before we make any decisions and all that, but the goal was to get back out there and get him feeling good,” Lovelady said.
Staine was not only credited with the win, but he also allowed just one hit and struck out three batters, preserving his Division I-leading 0.00 ERA.

As for the offense, in a lineup lacking 1B Nick Romano or C Riley Wash, 2B Noah Orlando has stepped up to become one of the team’s more reliable batters.
Coming into Sunday’s game, he recorded a hit in six of his last seven starts and almost hit a two-run home run above the right-field foul pole in Saturday’s game to bring the Knights to within one run of the lead in the 7th inning. However, it ended up being ruled foul after further review.
On Sunday, however, there was no doubt about it as Orlando hit it over the fence in the opening inning to get the Knights on the board.
“It just felt good it was fair,” Orlando said.

While the Bulldogs tied the game up with an RBI single in the 4th, the Knights got back out ahead with an RBI SAC Fly by Freeland to score RF Pablo Ruiz and a pinch-hit RBI single from Ryan Taylor that brought home Sundean.

However, it was the 7th inning where the game was broken open. The Bulldogs cycled through four pitchers. Combined, the quartet gave up eight runs on two hits, five walks, and four batters hit by pitches.

Once an RBI single from Sundean scored the Knights’ 11th run, giving them a 10-run lead over Samford, the run rule was invoked.
It was a win the team needed since, according to Lovelady, it had forgotten the feeling of winning.
“I hope this weekend maybe was rock bottom and we just get back to work tomorrow and realize that, as bad things have been—and things have not gone our way because of injuries—it doesn’t matter,” Lovelady said. “We still have a good enough team to win a lot of games. We got to believe that.”
The Knights, now 14-10, host Florida Atlantic on Tuesday at 6 p.m. before beginning conference play with a weekend series against USF in a rematch of last season’s AAC Tournament Championship Game.
Games 1 and 2 will be at 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday respectively with Game 3 beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday. All four games will stream live on ESPN+.

The true freshman catcher out of Lakeland was pushed into service last week, having to start behind the plate with Wash sidelined.
In his limited at-bats compared to many of his teammates, Sundean’s bat has reliably gotten him on base at least once in the majority of his appearances.

Location, location, location. To some, this is a real estate mantra by which to live, but for me it's the best way to key in on offensive production. Where a hitter is placed in the lineup can have as much to do with their success as their recent performance, overall talent level and opposing pitcher matchup. The context of who’s hitting around them in the order can help determine how opposing teams will pitch to them throughout a ballgame. Also, the league in which a hitter plays can have a significant impact on their projected success on a given day.
In general, it’s profitable to target hitters in the top half of their lineups, with extra attention to those hitting third and fourth. The better hitters slot into these heart-of-the-order spots, so there’s more likely to be runners on base for RBI opportunities and capable hitters behind to knock them in and score runs. Additionally, you get a better chance for an extra at-bat compared to picking guys in the lower half of the order. An extra at-bat can give a hitter an extra 25 percent of production (5 at bats vs. 4). It may not always materialize into big points, but MLB is all about chances and opportunities. You would always prefer taking an NBA player that goes to overtime for a chance to boost their score, right? Targeting 1-5 hitters as a guideline achieves the same result long-term.
An underrated factor in determining success on a specific day is a player's protection in the lineup. Miguel Cabrera started off slow, but since Victor Martinez has hit so well in the spot behind him, pitchers have had to start respecting Martinez by giving Cabrera better pitches to hit. It's more conventional to look at quality hitters behind a guy in the order as a means to knock him in, but the reality is that it can also give him better pitches to hit. Players hitting second, third and fourth have the best protection overall (but obviously varies based on personnel by team).
American League vs. National League
Analyzing lineup slots is a much different approach depending on the team and league (or ballpark in the event of interleague play). The DH has a veritable effect on Daily Fantasy Baseball in how we view a given lineup. Right now, 11 of 15 teams in the NL have scored below 190 runs. However, 11 of 15 teams in the AL have scored more than 190 runs. Last season AL teams averaged 702 runs on the year compared to just 649 among NL teams. AL games play up and down the order so much smoother without the pitcher's spot throwing a serious roadblock in offensive production.
The eighth spot in the order is the easiest to compare between the leagues. In the NL, teams rarely have to give the eighth hitter anything decent to hit in the first six innings because the pitcher's spot is due up next. This can hurt the eighth hitter a couple of ways. First, it limits his at-bat production since there can be runners on base but teams are more inclined to walk him to face the pitcher. Second, even if the eighth hitter gets on base, the pitcher is a very likely out behind them and scoring a run becomes that much more difficult. This effect extends to the seventh hitter to a lesser extent as well. Meanwhile, in the AL there are guys like Alcides Escobar, who has seen the majority of his at-bats in the eight or nine hole with no diminishing returns. There are no “automatic outs” before or after him (insert Mike Moustakas joke here), so Escobar is able to get on base, steal and score much easier than if he played in the NL. The only way I can see taking a No. 8 hitter in an NL game is if it's a short slate of games and/or the guy is minimum price and you need it to fill out the rest of your roster with perfect targets (and just hope he scores positive with a walk and a single or something).
Leadoff hitters are the others strongly affected between leagues. After the first inning, NL leadoff hitters have the pitcher hitting in front of them. A quick search helped me find that in 2011 pitchers as a whole hit just .128. Sure there are some outliers (Wainwright leading the way this year with an 8-for-24 clip), but clearly that is more exception than the rule. When there are runners on and two outs with the pitcher up, the inning will hardly ever get to the leadoff guy for an RBI chance. When the pitcher leads off, it's usually going to be one out bases empty for the leadoff spot, which also reduces his chance of scoring a run even if he reaches. AL leadoff hitters can have guys like Escobar hitting in front of them getting on base 33 percent of the time and swiping 12 steals. That's a big part of how Brian Dozier has knocked in 25 runs on a measly .257 average while hitting first for the Twins this year. Out of Dozier’s 11 homers this year, nine have been solo shots, which means the 7-9 hitters have gotten on base and created 14 additional RBI for him.
The Yankees (195), Nationals (186) and Diamondbacks (187) have all scored close to the same run totals on the season thus far. Brett Gardner has hit in the leadoff for New York 98 times this year with a .296 average, five doubles, one triple, three home runs and 14 RBI. Denard Span has hit leadoff for the Nationals in 166 at-bats for a .265 average with 10 doubles, three triples, one homer and 11 RBI. Gerardo Parra has 145 at-bats in the leadoff role with a .269 average, six doubles, two triples, four homers and 11 RBI. Despite seeing 50-70 more at-bats, Parra and Span still can't top Gardner in the RBI category, even though they've accumulated similar extra base hit totals. There’s no way that the differential in batting average is the only factor here; it's because Gardner is in an AL offense with more guys on base while Parra and Span are held back significantly with the pitcher spot in front of them.

Really only the header is "finished". And even it is going to be a bit lighter in shade.

Art director Wilfred Buckland created some of the most magnificent sets in film history for Douglas Fairbanks'version of Robin Hood (1922). One set was the enormous castle of King Richard the Lion-hearted which was so large, it could be seen on the Hollywood skyline. It's huge drawbridge could accommodate the flower of English knighthood marching out to war. Kevin Brownlow tells what happened after filming was completed:
"Charlie Chaplin asked Douglas Fairbanks if he could borrow the castle for a sequence in his next picture.
'I don't get it, Charlie,' said Fairbanks. 'What do you want to do?'
Chaplin demonstrated: the huge drawbridge was lowered and Chaplin appeared from inside, clutching a kitten. He put out the cat, picked up a bottle of milk, a newspaper, and some letters, and sauntered back inside again. The drawbridge slowly closed."

Toymaker Hornby won't pay dividend this year but losses narrow as turnaround plan remains on track
- Its losses have narrowed to £9.5million compared to £13.5million in 2016
- Shares in Hornby jumped by almost 7 per cent to 33.38p
Toymaker Hornby has again decided not to pay a dividend, but its losses have narrowed and the group said its turnaround plan is on track.
The Margate-based group, famous for its model trains, posted pre-tax losses of £9.5million in the year to the end of March, compared to a £13.5million loss in 2016.
Hornby, which suspended its dividend payments last year, said it would continue to keep its policy ‘under review’. Shares in Hornby opened down but later jumped by almost 7 per cent to 33.38p.
On track: Hornby said trading was in line with expectations and losses have narrowed
The final results will lift some of the pressure placed on the group by Hornby’s second biggest shareholder, New Pistoia, which recently called for chairman Roger Canham to step down amid claims the current strategy is ‘destroying value’.
The group has embarked on a turnaround plan in a bid to shore up its balance sheet. It cut back on investment and reduced its product ranges, which resulted in revenues falling 15 per cent from £55.8million to £47.4million in the year.
Hornby also took a £3.3million hit from exceptional charges related to the sale of some properties in Margate and Spain and costs relating to the restructuring of the business.
It said current sales in the UK and US were ‘down slightly’, while sales in Europe were ‘around half the level’ compared with the same period last year, but trading was in line with expectations.
Hornby chief executive Steve Cook said ‘much remains to be done’ to return the business to profit but was ‘confident’ about the progress made so far.
He said: ‘Our results to March 2017 provide solid evidence of our delivery in phase one of our turnaround plan; notably in terms of cash flow performance and gross margin improvement during the year.
'We have built a sound platform for growth over the last 18 months and we are now planning to deliver sustainable profit and net cash generation into the medium term.
'The current financial year has started positively and we are well placed to achieve the board's expectations for the year.’

Forum of Oral History of Ukraine: Why It Is Important to Document Wartime Experiences
The first Forum of Oral History of Ukraine, which took place in Kyiv in October, left behind many quotes and opinions worthy of attention. In particular, the event’s partners and its keynote speakers shared their views on why it is important to document the experiences of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The event was organized at the initiative of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation’s Museum of Civilian Voices in partnership with the USC Shoah Foundation and the Oral History Association, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (UMCS).
Professor Valentyn Baluk, director of the Center of Eastern Europe at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, emphasized the importance of the cooperation between the UMCS and the Museum of Civilian Voices, which has been going on for almost a year, and also spoke about the implementation of the motto “Never again”.
“The initiative launched by the Museum is very necessary, not only to document oral history testimonies among people who have survived the horrors of the war since 2014. It is important to pass on these accounts to future generations. In order for “Never again” to be effective, it is necessary to prove Russia’s guilt in court, so that Russia and its rulers are held accountable before international courts. Russia attacked Ukraine not for the first time, because it has never borne responsibility for its crimes.”
Professor Volodymyr Bugrov, rector of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, considers documenting wartime experiences and evidence no less important than criminal evidence in order for crimes to be condemned historically and never repeated.
“Russian bustards usurped the victory in the Second World War, where there were four Ukrainian fronts, where half of Ukraine’s population fought, and the country’s entire territory was occupied. We say, “never again”, and they say, “we can do it again”. This usurpation of historical heritage and moral legitimation lead to repetition. I am convinced that this project, which we are witnessing now, is extremely important for society precisely in the moral-historical, moral and legitimizing plane.”
Anton Liagusha, candidate of historical sciences, academic director of master’s social and humanitarian studies at the Kyiv School of Economics, emphasized the significance of documenting any evidence of the war.
“All evidence, from Twitter and TikTok to museums and archives, and the work of historians, are necessary. The first task is: they enable us to interpret our own history from the viewpoint of a political nation. The second task is about the professional work on collecting evidence that will be documents at the international court. The third one means the opportunity to tell and show the world what is happening here, so that they help us and we fight together. The fourth task is about the opportunity to show various experiences. We will not have one organization or party that will tell the history of this war on its own behalf. The voice of every Ukrainian matters.”
Natalya Yemchenko, Public Relations and Communications Director at SCM and member of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation’s supervisory board, noted that documentation initiatives about the war work not only for history, and there is a strong point in that.
“This is a very important contribution to the formation and preservation of the truth about this war. It is a question of national memory for Ukraine: what we know about ourselves is the result of the narratives of other countries, and we must reclaim our own narrative. That is all that relates to justice. It is about making the world aware through the stories of people living through the war. It is also about the work with war trauma and therapy.”
Doctor Piotr Cywiński, historian, public figure, director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum and president of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation (Poland), voiced his opinion on the importance of documenting the events and stories of the war.
“This will become evidence in court proceedings: judges and prosecutors need to know who was personally present during the event and can witness about it. This is critical to the legitimacy of these processes. This is one of the most important sources of information about the war for historians. And this is very important for the education of new generations, who will be able to hear the voices of victims of this war.”
The Forum is an initiative of the Rinat Akhmetov Foundation’s Museum of Civilian Voices, which documents first-person accounts of civilians about the war and has now collected more than 85,000 stories.

Here is the link for the mathart show in Washington D.C. this January. You can see the variety of work from the links presented. The image I chose to show (above) is titled:
“A Strange Dream”
Oil crayon on paper, 20" x 24" (framed), 2008. "
The work is by Karl Kattchee, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Mathematics Department, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, La Crosse, WI
Professor Kattchee says, "I generally work in the abstract and typically with oil crayons or pencil on paper. Each drawing has an internal logic, mathematical in nature, which usually evolves while I work. My mathematical instincts urge me to keep the internal logic consistent, but my artistic side wants to bend the rules. The soul of my drawings is the balance between the two."

Effects of vegetative-periodic-induced rhizosphere variation on the uptake and translocation of metals in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin ex. Steudel growing in the Sun Island Wetland.
To evaluate the vegetative periodic effect of rhizosphere on the patterns of metal bioaccumulation, the concentrations of Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd and Pb in the corresponding rhizosphere soil and tissues of Phragmites australis growing in the Sun Island wetland (Harbin, China) were compared. The concentrations of Zn, Fe, Cu, Cr, Ni, Cd and Pb in roots were higher than in shoots, suggesting that roots are the primary accumulation organs for these metals and there exists an exclusion strategy for metal tolerance. In contrast, the rest of the metals showed an opposite trend, suggesting that they were not restricted in roots. Harvesting would particularly be an effective method to remove Mn from the environment. The concentrations of metals in shoots were generally higher in autumn than in summer, suggesting that Ph. australis possesses an efficient root-to-shoot translocation system, which is activated at the end of the growing season and allows more metals into the senescent tissues. Furthermore, metal bioaccumulation of Ph. australis was affected by vegetative periodic variation through the changing of physicochemical and microbial conditions. The rhizospheric microbial characteristics were significantly related to the concentrations of Mg, K, Zn, Fe and Cu, suggesting that microbial influence on metal accumulation is specific and selective, not eurytopic.


The second week crash. Why Week Two as a coronavirus patient is so scary
Tegan Taylor: Hello, this is Coronacast, a podcast all about the coronavirus where we answer your questions.
Now, that music is actually a musical rendering of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but we'll have more on that later. I'm health reporter Tegan Taylor.
Norman Swan: And I'm physician and journalist Dr Norman Swan. It's Wednesday, 8 April.
Tegan Taylor: Norman, let's start by talking about British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. What can we say about this at this stage?
Norman Swan: Well, we just need to say that we record Coronacast a few hours before it's released, so we really can't talk in detail about Boris Johnson's condition and we wish him well. What we are seeing here is really a very typical path for somebody who is actually going to deteriorate. Pretty well to begin with, mild symptoms. In fact for a period you feel really well, and then you start to decline. People might have seen the video that Mr Johnson released a few days ago where he really did look dreadful and obviously he has got worse since. He looked in that video to me as if you had a low blood oxygen level. He is on the older side, his 55, going towards the higher risk group. He first tested positive I think on March 26.
And this is what's typical, which is the second week crash where you do decline. As I say, we can't really talk too much about it because where speaking a few hours before you're hearing the Coronacast, but this is the reason why we try and reduce the coronavirus in the community as much as possible because it's relatively unpredictable who in the younger age groups get it and they don't necessarily have to have other diseases or diagnoses. I have no idea what Boris Johnson's other medical conditions are, if indeed he has any, he looks pretty healthy to me. But it's pretty typical that when younger people outside the 70+ age group get it, they don't necessarily have any risk factors, that's the scary thing about this.
Tegan Taylor: It's still pretty shocking when someone in such a prominent position is so unwell.
Norman Swan: Yes, and they become a symbol for the problem, and of course it makes the problem very much more personal. Anyway, as I say, we wish him well.
Tegan Taylor: So, Coronacast is primarily a podcast that's all about answering audience questions, and we've got heaps to get through today. So, first up, if soap and water kills the virus, why don't we just wash all personal protective equipment?
Norman Swan: Good question. You can certainly clean the masks, and those plastic masks, they can be cleaned with detergent. But a lot of PPE is disposable rather than reusable. So some personal protective equipment is reusable, so I think the mask is. Some forms of the gloves are but most of the gloves are disposable, so you can't wash the gloves. Some people think you can wash surgical masks, I think the jury is out on that. But most of the clothing these days is in fact disposable. The manufacturers don't design it to be washed and reused, and you may destroy some of the protection in the gown, for example, whereas some PPE is designed to be reused, and when you look at the Ebola epidemic and people in the field, you can see people being hosed down and disinfected after their session, and that is PPE being reused. And it's a common problem in healthcare when you have equipment which you're short of but which is designed for one use and it's reused, it happens in other areas as well, and it's highly controversial as to whether or not you really can reuse it safely.
Tegan Taylor: We've got someone else asking; if the acids in your guts kill the virus, then how come it has been detected in faeces?
Norman Swan: Well, I'm not convinced there is evidence that acid in the gut does kill this virus. There is no question that the faecal–oral route is a risk in this virus, meaning that it is in the faeces and if you don't wash your hands after you've been to the bathroom you can infect food, the likelihood is that the food then can carry the organism into you. And I think what happens in the gut is either it resists the acid, it's hidden in food and gets through the acid environment of the stomach, or there's enough virus that just enough gets through the gut into the rest of the bowel, it allows to multiply. I don't think people fully understand that, it's a very good question, but there's a lot of bugs that can get through the acid in the stomach.
Tegan Taylor: So, countries around the world are all working really hard to contain the virus. Someone is asking; how did the Chinese contain the virus to just one province? Why has it spread so far across the world but it doesn't seem to have spread through the rest of China?
Norman Swan: Well, I think it has spread to other parts of China, I don't think it's just in Hubei province, it's just that Hubei province was the worst. And what they did was essentially lockdown the province, they stopped people going in and out and they ring-fenced Hubei province and essentially stopped travel, and that's how they contained it, in the same way as other countries have managed to contain it, including Australia. Our success in containing this virus so far (so far) has been in containing overseas visitors and people who are carrying it from overseas. A couple of spectacular failures on cruise ships but nonetheless we've been quite good, 8/10 for our work on borders. And that's what the Chinese did very well, containing it to the province. But some did escape, because people did go back to where they came from, and they've contained that by the traditional means of…I think they've isolated areas as well, they've gone for clusters, they've done intensive testing, contact tracing, quarantining, lockdown, the sort of things in a very aggressive way that would have been hard to tolerate in a country like Australia.
Tegan Taylor: So, sometimes when you're seeing photos and videos from elsewhere in the world where there has been a lot of the virus you see them spraying disinfectant in the streets. What are they actually spraying, what does it do?
Norman Swan: Well, I think this is an unproven technique. They used to do this sort of thing with the plague hit in olden times. They did it quite a lot during the flu pandemic. And I think it's in the hope that they're going to knock out the virus in high prevalence areas. It's a general spraying of the street, it's hard to imagine, unless there's a lot of people on the street with the virus, that it's actually going to be worth doing.
What is worth doing is disinfecting high-touch areas so that you actually go around railings, things that people touch a lot, ATMs, those high frequent touch areas are things that are worth disinfecting. Whether or not you get a value for money from spraying disinfectant on the streets I think is highly questionable.
Tegan Taylor: So in some other countries like Japan and Sweden, it looked like they were doing really well and then they are now seeing a rapid uptick in the number of people who have COVID-19. What has happened there and is there a risk that it's going to happen here?
Norman Swan: I think Sweden had a bit of a hands-off approach, a business-as-usual approach to the epidemic. As we've seen, that can be a very dangerous way to go, and if you're not testing a lot…I'm not quite sure what the testing regime was in Sweden, but if you're not testing a lot, you don't notice it and it just grows under the surface and then bursts out because the fire gets fuelled. If you are relaxed about this or you think we'll just let it go and let herd immunity develop, it runs away from you much faster than herd immunity develops, and that's the situation you've got across Europe and in the United States. It's very hard to pull back under control once it gets off on you. So it could have been predicted that Sweden, for example, would see a problem. And hopefully it's not too bad and they will able to pull it back.
Tegan Taylor: So will we see the same thing happen here in Australia?
Norman Swan: If we did it would be what people call the second wave, and the reason that we've got such great tail-off in numbers is that overseas cases of COVID-19 have fallen right away, they are really declining fast. What's sitting there underneath that is a slow but steady increase, maybe tailing off, but a slow but steady increase in community spread, either from overseas cases or unknown where you've caught it from. That's the fuel for the future fire. And as we've seen in this pandemic, small numbers can become very large numbers very quickly. And so the nervousness of government and others is if you let your foot off the brake too quickly without everything being in place, that will pour petrol on that fire and it could go exponential, because we've still got a lot of nonimmune people in the community. So that's the worry here.
So, normally at this point in the Coronacast I talk about a new piece of research, but today, Tegan, you want to talk to me about something.
Tegan Taylor: I do, I want to talk about that music that we start a bit of at the start. Actually, let's listen to a little bit more of it now:
It's actually a musical rendering of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and specifically of this spike protein which is the part of the virus that allows it to attach to our cells, it's the spike that gives the coronavirus its name, its little crown. So it's made by musicians and engineers at MIT led by Professor Markus Buehler, and what they did was they assigned each amino acid, so the building blocks of the proteins, a note, and then things like the volume or the duration of the notes and the rhythm were derived for how the amino acids are arranged in space, because you often see them in these curly helix shapes. And then the protein itself is actually folded together and intertwined, and so that was reflected by intersecting melodies.
It's really pretty. I actually was listening to it in my headphones as I was working all day. And even though it sounds a bit frivolous, it actually has a potential scientific application. So, Professor Buehler has pointed out that our brain's ability to process sound actually reveals details that we might miss using microscopes, because we are actually really sophisticated at untangling quite detailed sounds. And he hopes that this approach could even maybe be used to design drugs to fight the virus, where you might have a musical rendering of the virus and then you might be musically rendering different proteins, and if you found one that matches the melody and rhythm of the antibodies that could interfere with the virus's ability to infect, then that's where you could turn your attentions for drug development.
Norman Swan: So if one of your kids is resisting practising the violin, tell them they could hold the cure for coronavirus in their hands.
Tegan Taylor: Precisely.
Norman Swan: Exciting. It's crazy stuff.
Tegan Taylor: Well, that's it for Coronacast today. If you want to send in a question, go to abc.net.au/coronavirus, and a reminder we now have transcripts for each episode on the Coronacast website. And if you like this podcast, please tell a friend.
Norman Swan: We'll see you tomorrow. Bye for now.
Tegan Taylor: See you then.
British PM Boris Johnson’s health has deteriorated as he enters the second week of being diagnosed with COVID-19.
The 55-year old's experience is what many people have gone through, but it shows the dangers people often face in the later stages of trying to fight off the virus.
Today, Dr Norman Swan explains why it is known as the second week crash.

The function of male and female long-distance vocalizations in three mammalian taxa
MetadataShow full item record
Recent research has demonstrated that female birdsong is present in the majority of songbird species worldwide. In addition, the results indicated that female birdsong was already present in the common ancestor of modern songbirds. These results are rather unexpected as it was generally believed that birdsong has evolved especially in male songbirds by ways of sexual selection. Similarly to research on birdsong, research on long-distance vocalizations in mammals often focuses on males. However, within many mammalian species these vocalizations are used by females as well. This study provides an overview of the production of long-distance vocalizations by males and females in three mammalian taxa: simian primates (Simiiformes), ungulates (Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla) and bats (Chiroptera). Additionally, an attempt was made to determine the function of these long-distance vocalizations. Five functional hypotheses of long-distance vocalizations have been proposed: 1) defence hypothesis; 2) alarm hypothesis; 3) spatial coherence hypothesis; 4) intragroup competition hypothesis and 5) finding a mate hypothesis. Data on long-distance vocalizations in the three mammalian taxa were gathered from literature. Factors indicative for a call’s function, like call stimulus, consequence, and characteristics of the signaller, were included in the data acquisition. The results reveal that long-distance vocalizations were present in 63 species of simians, 26 species of ungulates and eight species of bats. These vocalizations were most often produced by individuals of both sexes within a species or exclusively by males. Females rarely produced long-distance vocalizations when males within the same species did not. All proposed functions were found in at least one of the researched taxa. The fact that long-distance vocalizations are present in both males and females and that these vocalizations serve distinct functions, suggests that long-distance vocalizations have evolved under different environmental and social conditions. Above all, similarly to birdsong, long-distance calls may have been present in ancestral primates, ungulates and bats.

JAJPUR: Former finance minister Prafulla Chandra Ghadei has urged the Odisha State Pollution Control Board (OSPCB) to take steps to reduce pollution in Kalinga Nagar area citing its serious effects on the health of local residents.
Ghadei, also the advisor of Kalinga Nagar Mazdoor Union and Sukinda Region Chromites Khadan Mazdoor Sangh, said according to a survey report of Greenpeace India, Kalinga Nagar is in the top 100 polluted cities of the country. There are a number of factors responsible for deteriorating air quality in the area, the major being harmful emissions from industries that operate in the steel hub. Besides, open cast mining in Sukinda Chromites Valley has led to a spike in air pollution level in the area.
“Discharge of waste water from industries in Kalinga Nagar and hexavalent chromium from chromites mines have polluted the nullahs and water bodies in the area. Local are suffering from gastroenteritis, kidney, liver and skin-related ailments by using the polluted water. The threat is not restricted to human health only. Farmers are witnessing extensive crop damage and the land is losing its fertility due to discharge of waste water from industries and chromites mines,” he said.
The senior BJD leader further said the authorities should take steps on a war-footing to reduce the pollution level in the region. The industries in Kalinga Nagar and miners in Sukinda Chromites Valley should be asked to carry out massive plantation drives around their premises, he added.

Abrupt changes in spectral line profiles, polarization, brightness, and color on time scales of hours to days are sometimes observed in Be stars, although they cannot be considered common. Such outburst events bring to mind solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which are powered by the sudden release of large amounts of energy stored in the magnetic field near the surface of the Sun.
The difficulty with this analogy is that early-type stars are not expected to have substantial magnetic fields, because they lack the deep subsurface convection zone needed to maintain a magnetic field by dynamo action. Nevertheless, many observations continue to point to magnetism as an essential element of the Be phenomenon.

text: The effect of some plant extracts and chemicals on the management of tikka leaf spot of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) was investigated by conducting an experiment under field conditions. Results indicated that plant extracts sprays, viz, calotropis leaf suspension at 1% concentration or neem oil at 0.5% concentration effectively controlled the leaf spot disease and significantly increased the yield over the control. A combination of mancozeb and carbendazim spray at 0.25 and 0.1% concentration, respectively, proved significantly superior over the other treatments in controlling the disease and increasing the yield. Spraying of fungicides proved to be highly effective, and sprays of calotropis leaf suspension and neem oil were cost effective. Significant differences in yield were not observed with the use of plant extracts at all the concentrations tested, however, lower concentrations gave highest cost:benefit ratio. Potassium chloride spray at 1% concentration also significantly reduced the disease spread and significantly increased the yield over the control and it was at par with other treatments except fungicidal spray.

The staff was very friendly and the breakfast staff especially went above and beyond the call of duty by warming up a cinnamon roll after the breakfast hours were actually over.
The room was wonderful and the bathroom towels were nice and thick.
The only problem we had we had was the heating unit in the room didn't really work properly. We ended up shutting it off totally and then we were very comfortable!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by M.a.a.26 Great bed but slowest internet experience.
I've stayed here several times in the last 3 months but the only peeve I have is the lagging/disconnecting wireless service that appears to be working well at my other stays. I'll most likely try this location in the future to see if it has improved.

Three cases of subtrochanteric fractures in patients with Paget's disease are presented which were treated by closed intramedullary nailing using the Russel-Taylor reconstruction nail. In one case with severe deformity of the femur, diaphyseal osteotomy was required to enable implant insertion.
All fractures (including the osteotomy) united. There were no operative or long-term complications and no implant failures.
The reconstruction nail is ideal for such cases and has technical and biomechanical advantages over other implants.

On April 17, new.Bitcoin.com reported on the crypto marketplace Purse.io announcing the company would dissolve. Six days later, Purse revealed that the team is reconsidering the decision and explained that well known bitcoin advocates reached out with interest in acquisition.
More than a week ago, the popular cryptocurrency marketplace Purse.io abruptly announced its decision to dissolve. “We’ve made the very difficult decision to dissolve the company,” Eduardo Gómez wrote at the time. “We’re grateful for the opportunity afforded by our supporters to build products and infrastructure for the cryptocurrency community.” The crypto community wasn’t too pleased with the announcement, as the company had been around since 2014. Purse.io allowed millions of people to leverage cryptocurrencies like BTC and BCH, in order to purchase products on Amazon. Purse.io customers often saved customers up to 20% or more by using the platform and many digital currency proponents used the service regularly.
Following the announcement, Purse.io representative Eduardo Gómez detailed on April 23, that the company was rethinking the decision to dissolve. “Since the announcement,” Gómez said. “We have received an incredible outpouring of support from the community, causing us to reconsider our decision. Several parties – including well known bitcoin advocates, high volume users, and established cryptocurrency companies – reached out with interest in acquiring Purse.io.”
Gómez also tweeted:
Good news everybody. It looks like Purse is here to stay.
The exact details of the deal are unknown at the time of publication, but it currently assumed that Purse.io may survive after all. Social media and crypto forums show that some people are suggesting that Bitcoin.com’s Roger Ver helped out. Many onlookers cite the recent Bitcoin.com Official Youtube video called “How to Beat Phil Hellmuth at Poker Using Bitcoin Cash.”
“Purse is too important for the ecosystem to let it disappear so I don’t think it’s going anywhere,” Ver stressed in the video. “I’ve been in talks with them a lot, so stay tuned for some more news on Purse.io.” On the weekly news show, Ver reaffirmed what he said and stated that Purse.io is “not going anywhere.”
What do you think about Purse.io sticking around? Let us know in the comments below.

PROMOTIONAL BARREL WALL
Sets, props & exhibitions
‘Outlaws’ by Belstaff is a surreal film within a film starring David Beckham as the stranger – a mysterious drifter and motorcycle stuntman, haunted by memories of a beautiful trapeze artist and hunted by a maniacal director seeking revenge.
The premier of ‘Outlaws’ was held at La Bodega Negro in London’s Soho district, we were asked to create a feature wall to use as a backdrop for press shots. Barrel ends were made in blacked softwood, with ‘Belstaff’ and ‘Outlaws’ logos imprinted, then fixed to vintage whiskey barrels to create the feature wall.


December 1, 2015 is the next deadline for safety professionals to comply with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). OSHA requires from distributors of hazardous chemicals to ship their products only if they are properly labeled under the new GHS format.
In 2012, OSHA updated its hazard communication (HazCom) standard to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), developed by the United Nations. According to OSHA, the main purpose of these changes is to help chemical manufacturers, distributors and importers ensure improved quality and consistency in the classification and labeling of all chemicals, and also enhance worker comprehension. In this way, workers will be better informed about the safe handling and use of hazardous chemicals, which will allow them to prevent injuries and illnesses caused by exposures to hazardous chemicals.
Changes to hazard communication standard require from employers to create and maintain a written program, including a new 16-section format for SDSs (formerly called material safety data sheets, or MSDSs), new chemical label elements and pictograms, standard criteria for classifying chemical hazards, worker access to safety data sheets (SDSs) for those chemicals that are exposed to, and employee training.
This is the third deadline established by OSHA in order to adopt recent GHS (Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labeling of Chemicals) amendments to the hazard communication standard. Updated OSHA’s hazard communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200) must be implemented to any workplace where workers can be exposed to hazardous chemicals. The final deadline for full implementation is June 1, 2016. During this pivotal phase in the GHS transition, safety professionals have to comply with the changes to the HazCom Standard.
So the timeline includes the following deadlines and their related responsibilities:
- Dec. 1, 2013 — Employers train workers on new labels and MSDS formats
- June 1, 2015 — Chemical manufacturers reclassify chemicals with GHS-formatted shipped labels and safety data sheets
- Dec. 1, 2015 — Distributors ship hazardous chemicals labeled only in GHS format
- June 1, 2016 — Employers must be fully compliant with the new GHS provisions
The most common hazard communication violations are:
- Failure to have a written program;
- Inadequate employee training;
- Improper labeling on chemical containers; and
- Missing or lack of access to SDSs.
If OSHA’s new HazCom Standard covers your business, don’t wait to address the changes GHS brings to your facility HazCom programs.

DEAR DR. FOX: A recent front-page article in the Washington Post, "Wolf-to-dog evolution went with the grain," states, "In particular, dogs show changes in genes governing three key steps in the digestion of starch ... it makes us convinced that being able to digest starch efficiently was crucial to dogs."
The article suggests that once dogs began living close to humans, they found a new feeding "niche" by scavenging human garbage. The implication is that grains are not harmful to dogs because their digestive systems have adapted to diets other than meat. In light of this, have you changed your recommendations about feeding dogs mostly grain-free foods? -- M.C.M., Silver Spring, Md.
DEAR M.C.M.: I appreciate your writing to me about this article on a finding that has been widely publicized.
This is an important issue because while dogs -- some breeds better than others -- have evolved the enzymes needed to process carbohydrates and starches from grains and potatoes, this adaptation does not mean that a high or even moderate carbohydrate content in dogs' diets is optimal for their health.
For most dogs, I advocate low levels of grain, but not for cats. A minute amount as a binder for dry foods is acceptable for cats, many of whom continue to suffer a variety of health problems because their diets contain more starches than an obligate carnivore like a cat can handle. Dogs are more omnivorous than cats, just as foxes and coyotes are more omnivorous than wolves and cougars.
For a more detailed response, see my article "Domestication and Diet: Dog Genes and Cat Gut Bacteria," posted on my website, DrFoxVet.com.
DEAR DR. FOX: I have two Shetland sheepdogs. Both are 7 years old, but they are not related.
When we were in Florida last March, one of my dogs developed a rash under his nose. It was red and he was rubbing his face on furniture and licking his feet. It looked like he lost some hair on his face since you could see the pink skin beneath.
I took him to the vet, and he said that there are a lot of molds and spores on the ground in Florida. He put my dog on prednisone, as he said the rash was inflamed. This did calm down the redness. However, when we returned to Michigan, my vet there also put him on prednisone, but after repeated use, the area looks pretty much the same. I noticed that the dog was beginning to get a white patch on his face that hadn't been there before. It's gotten larger, and other patches are beginning to appear.
I have taken him to a vet who specializes in dermatology problems in dogs. She said that it was just his hair. I don't think that's the case due to the fact that he is getting more white patches. She did a blood test that indicated he was allergic to dust mites. She also suggested that a punch test would show more. However, we don't want to put our dog through that unless it's absolutely necessary.
I have done some research online and found that there is such a thing as vitiligo, a condition that causes depigmentation of skin in dogs. The pictures looked similar to what is happening on my dog's face.
What would you suggest at this point? If it is vitiligo, is there anything that can be done?
Years ago when I bought my first dog, I read your book "Understanding Your Dog." This was one of the most insightful books I've read on dog behavior. -- G.J.D., Naples, Fla.
DEAR G.J.D.: I am impressed by the number of readers who are going online in search of diagnoses for their pets' conditions when prescribed treatments fail or when veterinarians fail to communicate clearly or offer opinions that don't seem to make sense.
I find it disturbing that a veterinary dermatology specialist -- and I would ask if she is board certified -- did not raise the possibility of your dog having discoid lupus erythematosus, a chronic skin condition with inflammation and scarring of the face, ears and scalp, which is common in your breed. This condition fits the symptoms you describe. Other autoimmune disorders to which Shetland sheepdogs are susceptible include pemphigus foliaceus and pemphigus erythematosus -- these should also be considered.
Carefully monitored, long-term treatment with prednisone can help, especially in combination with tetracycline, niacinamide or gold therapy (aurothioglucose), fish oil and topical vitamin E.

GREENE – The perfect season is down the drain, Greene’s previously undefeated and state-ranked boys soccer team fell victim to the Chenango Forks Blue Devils at 3-1 in the finals of their home tournament on Saturday, September 30.
However, despite the loss, a devastating thing whether it is number one or 10, Greene is hoping to be better off with the loss – learning and continuing to grow from the minor setback.
The opening round of the tournament, played in Greene on Friday, September 29, saw Greene take down Sherburne-Earlville at 7-0 and Chenango Forks defeat Afton at 8-0.
Round 1: Greene defeated Sherburne Earlville 7-0
With a halftime score of 4-0, the Trojans dominated the visiting Marauders – managing 15 shots on goal to S-E’s three.
Scoring a hat-trick in the win was Greene’s Mike Repp. Spencer Klumpp added two goals and one assist, with Brandon Whitaker taking a goal as well. Bobby Mills and Bradley Taft each added an assist – with Isaac Trass tacking on two assists.
Notably, S-E unfortunately added an own goal to the mix.
Greene took advantage of their 15 shots and three corners to help reach the finals and move their squad to 10-0.
In the loss, Connor Ryan of S-E made nine saves, with Kevin Gyurik and Nick Shoemaker of Greene each having one save in the goal.

Congress to Hold Hearing on Ticketmaster Problems After Taylor Swift Debacle
WASHINGTON—A Senate antitrust panel will hold a hearing on the lack of competition in the ticketing industry after Ticketmaster’s problems last week managing the sale of Taylor Swift tickets, Senator Amy Klobuchar, chair of the panel, said on Tuesday.
Senators Klobuchar and Mike Lee, the top Republican on the committee, did not provide a date for the hearing or a list of witnesses.
“The high fees, site disruptions, and cancellations that customers experienced shows how Ticketmaster’s dominant market position means the company does not face any pressure to continually innovate and improve,” Klobuchar said. “We will hold a hearing on how consolidation in the live entertainment and ticketing industry harms customers and artists alike.”…
