BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Out of sight doesn’t always mean out of mind. At least not along the Gulf Coast.
Alex DeMetrick reports last year’s huge BP oil spill is still very much an on-going worry.READ MORE: 1 Killed, 5 Injured In 4-Vehicle Crash On I-95 In Harford County
The spring and summer of 2010 were filled with images of what wasn’t supposed to happen. But when British Petroleum’s deepwater drill rig exploded, oil spilled for months. Before the leak was plugged, billions of barrels escaped into the Gulf of Mexico and headed for shore.
Even a year later, there are problems.
“We still have about 30 miles of heavily and moderately oiled shorelines in Louisiana, where you can literally go pick up scoops of oil with your hands,” said Garret Graves, Louisiana Coastal Protection.

This week the National Aquarium in Baltimore is hosting a meeting, drawing scientists and researchers who are still very much involved with what the spill is doing long term.
“There are chronic or sub-lethal effects from this oil spill on a variety of organisms, including shrimp, crabs, fish and oysters, and these impacts have not been carefully studied and need further study,” said Dr. Erik Rifkin, interim director of National Aquarium.
What is known is that more than 8,000 sea birds were killed. Oil caused $2.5 billion in damage to industries like seafood and tourism. Still unknown are the effects of burning and dispersing oil with chemicals, and where is the oil that did not get removed.
Of the 5 billion barrels that spilled, it’s estimated one billion barrels are still in the Gulf.
“I expect we will be removing oil, finding oil for several years, if not decades,” Graves said.MORE NEWS: Foul Play Suspected In Death At Elkridge Hotel, Police Say
Besides researchers from the National Aquarium, scientists from Johns Hopkins and the University of Maryland are also studying the oil spill’s long term effects.

HUD Seeks Comment on Possible Amendments to Disparate Impact Rule
HUD recently released an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register. It seeks public comment on possible amendments to HUD’s 2013 final rule implementing the Fair Housing Act’s disparate impact standard. The amendments would help ensure the rule is consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project (ICP). In that case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a state’s Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP) implemented by an allocating agency violates the Fair Housing Act if it “disparately impacts” a protected minority even though the allocating agency did not intend to discriminate.
In the ICP opinion, the Supreme Court held that a case of disparate impact liability under the Fair Housing Act requires plaintiffs to demonstrate, using statistics, that the defendant’s policy or practice actually causes a discriminatory disparity. The Court stated that this “robust causality requirement” was to protect “defendants from being held liable for racial disparities they did not create.” Under this standard, a policy or practice must constitute “artificial, arbitrary, and unnecessary barriers” to give rise to a disparate impact liability.
For many years HUD interpreted the Fair Housing Act to prohibit housing practices that have a discriminatory effect, even if there was no intent to discriminate. However, there were minor variations in how the courts and HUD applied the discriminatory effects concept. So, the Feb. 15, 2013, regulation was issued to establish uniform standards for determining when a housing practice with a discriminatory effect violates the Fair Housing Act. The final rule standardized a three-step “burden-shifting” approach that HUD has used and that a majority of appeals courts have applied.
First, the party complaining that there is a discriminatory effect has the burden of proving that a practice caused, or predictably will cause, a discriminatory effect. Second, if the complaining party makes a convincing argument, then the burden of proof shifts to the defending party, which must show that the practice has a “legally sufficient justification,” meaning that it’s necessary to achieve a substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interest that cannot be served by another practice that has a less discriminatory effect. And finally, if the defending party is successful, the complaining party can still succeed by demonstrating that the defending party’s substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interest could be served by another practice that has a less discriminatory effect.
As HUD conducts its review, it is soliciting public comment on the disparate impact standard set forth in the final rule and supplement, the burden-shifting approach, the relevant definitions, the causation standard, and whether changes to these or other provisions of the rule would be appropriate. Interested persons may submit comments electronically through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov by Aug. 20, 2018.

The Carolina Yards Program at Summers Corner
It’s no exaggeration to say that the signature, defining piece of Summers Corner is going to be the landscape. In fact, our goal is to ensure that every resident will be no more than a minute’s walk to a park or public garden.
But we think a thriving, healthy garden could be just outside your front and back doors, too. At Summers Corner we’re encouraging homeowners to embrace a garden landscape using the Carolina Yards Program. The Clemson University-certified program seeks to work with residents to create healthy, watershed-friendly landscapes.
The idea is simple, really: use simple and effective gardening methods that allow the homeowner to work with nature, rather than against it.
Some suggested methods:
- Use fallen leaves and pine needles as mulch under trees and shrubs. They make attractive, natural mulches and are cost-free.
- Design and maintain a yard that thrives predominantly on rainfall once plants are established.
- Choose native plants (flowers, trees, shrubs, vines and groundcovers) for your yard, considering those most suitable to site conditions.
- Put a rain gauge in your yard and track rainfall to avoid unnecessary watering.
- Provide wildlife shelters such as a bird or bat house.
- Establish a butterfly garden by providing nectar and host plants for butterflies and beneficial insects.
Yards are evaluated using a scorecard based on the 9 principles of the Carolina Yards Program. Each action taken earns “inches” towards certification. By meeting the minimum requirements and achieving 36 inches, you can have a Certified Carolina Yard.
Want to see what a Carolina Yards landscape might look like? Check out the FrontDoor Communities Magnolia model. They’ve incorporated a rain gauge, collection barrels for rainwater, a birdbath for wildlife, a bluebird house, as well as plants that are native to the area. The result is a low maintenance landscape that’s both environmentally-friendly and perfectly charming.
And don’t forget: situated on The Commons, the Dorchester County Master Gardeners’ office is happy to help community members with advice and insight for growing a Certified Carolina Yard.

Epic New Zealand Hunting
It’s been a tough few years for tourism worldwide but in the hills and valleys of New Zealand’s backcountry, the invasive species that we hunt have been getting busy. Whether you are a novice or expert or simply want to have an EPIC outdoor adventure we have you covered.
Before or after your fishing charter, add a few days of hunting to your Epic Adventure!
Talk to us and let us help you plan and book an amazing high country guided hunting experience in some of New Zealand’s best landscapes. From the coastal bush and hills around the East Cape of the North Island to the South Islands Southern Alps we can put together a truly Epic Adventure!
Epic hunting options
Option 1 – Stewart Island – SouthWest Drop off
Want to be dropped off in the most secluded spot in New Zealand in an area stacked with Whitetail deer. Where you will need to be ‘old school’ and stalk and sustain yourselves with what you bring? if that sounds like you and your group we can offer a Stewart Island hunting drop-off service to the South West, For the hunters, visiting the southwestern corner of Stewart Island, this is one of the must-do locations. This area is outside of the heavily hunted ballot hunting blocks, where the animal numbers are very high, with pressure, and only hunted occasionally by a passing commercial fisherman. Bucks are more frequent and deer are often observed on the sandy beaches. Hunt for 2 or 3 or 5 days then re-join the vessel for either some awesome fishing action (option detailed below) or just a ride back to civilization.
Pricing for the drop-off ex Bluff and pick-up return Bluff ONLY: TBC
Option 2 – Stewart Island – Hunt and Fish Combo
Book our awesome fishing experience which is the 3-day 2-night Stewart Island experience and add on 2 extra days for fishing as you circumnavigate the Island.
On top of the fishing experience outlined in the EPIC DEEP SOUTH EXPERIENCE, there are options for Oysters during the season, scallops during the season, and southern bluefin tuna during the season. And the always present Crays Paua and Blue cod etc. We really focus on showcasing the seafood we have to offer. Some groups eat three seafood meals a day! With the added bonus of venison from your hunt of from the Skippers nightly stalk along the beaches where there are often WhiteTail deer seen.
Pricing: Is $650 per person per day ON BOARD. So if we drop you off for a hunt there is no extra charge from us for those days. Note depending on how long you want to hunt your pick-up is dependent on the vessel’s schedule.
Option 3 – Meat hunts for Deer, Thar, Goat, Chamois, Pig
Whether you are a relatively new or a hard-core outdoors person the guides that epic work with are some of the best around.
They also offer trophy options for other mountain species like Thar and Chamois. Trophy prices apply and that is done by you by negotiation with the guide. We charge per person for the Guide and incidentals.
The areas where the hunts are offered also vary from Free Range bush and hill country to stations (large farms or ranch) and managed blocks.
Our East Cape-based guide offers a full bush experience for the hardy where you build and sleep in your own bush bivy and chase wild pigs with specialist dogs.

In recent decades, large swaths of East Africa’s wild, untouched lands have given way to fields of maize and other food crops in an effort to help feed the region’s growing population.
The expansion of farmland has boosted more than food production, however.
According to a new study published today in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, it also has caused a spike in the number of African rats infested with plague-carrying fleas – a trend that could significantly increase the risk of humans in the region contracting the ancient, deadly disease.
Researchers found that in maize-producing areas of northern Tanzania, the number of rodents infested with plague-ridden fleas was double that of nearby wilderness areas. In addition, rodents captured near farm fields had more plague-infested fleas and also hosted a disease-carrying flea species that does not exist in their wildland neighbors.
The team, which included researchers from Colorado State University, Stanford University, University of California-Santa Barbara, the Smithsonian and Tanzania’s Sokoine University of Agriculture, attributed the findings to the rapid expansion of agricultural lands. In some areas of Tanzania, the amount of farmland has grown by 70 percent over the past few decades.
“Farm fields are providing a ready and easily accessible source of food for these rodents,” said Dan Salkeld, a research scientist in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University and a co-author on the paper.
Researchers also found the population of Natal multimammate mice in the farming region they tested had grown 20-fold. The rodent species is known to carry the plague and other diseases such as Lassa fever.
Plagued by the plague
The team’s findings, Salkeld said, explain why parts of Tanzania are known as a “plague hotspots” and have experienced several outbreaks.
The plague is caused by a bacterium carried by fleas which also bite humans when they come into contact. Most people associate the plague outbreaks with ancient times – such as the “Black Death,” which spread through China and then Europe during the 14th century.
But plague became global around the turn of the 20th century, infesting even the western United States. Last summer, in fact, four resident of Adams County, Colorado were infected with plague.
The most severe modern-day outbreaks, however, occur in Africa. Last year, for example, outbreak in Madagascar infected 119 people and resulted in 40 deaths.
Though the team did not find evidence that the spike in plague-infested rats had caused more outbreaks in humans, Salkeld said it is a concern going forward.
“This study shows that why conditions for plague transmission to humans are occurring, and allow us to address ways to prevent disease spillover,” he said.
That could include storing maize and other crops in areas further from homes. Right now, many people store the food crops in their homes, a practice that attracts rats and thus increases the likelihood of transmission from rodents to humans.

Women who fail a the gestational diabetes diagnosis test are more prone to Type II adult-onset diabetes, revealed a new Tel Aviv University study.
Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition, which can harm both mother and child if left untreated Dr. Gabriel Chodick of Tel Aviv University's Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine has proven that women who "fail" the glucose challenge test, a series of four blood tests conducted over a single four-hour period, have a higher chance of developing adult onset diabetes later in life.
In his latest research, Chodick found that nearly half the women who fail all four of the four-part tests, demonstrating an elevated blood sugar level, developed Type II diabetes within ten years.
He said that women in the highest risk group (those who fail all four of the tests) should be given special counselling and intervention to prevent the onset of diabetes, which can greatly diminish quality of life and lead to adverse effects including heart disease, blindness and liver cancer.
In the retrospective study, Chodick and colleagues collected data on more than 185,000 women in Israel who took the glucose challenge test, then acquired information from the health registry as to what percentage of these women contracted diabetes later in life.
The researchers ascertained that women who failed all four glucose challenge blood tests had a nearly 50 percent chance of developing Type II diabetes within the ten years following the test.
Those who failed three of the four tests had a 20 percent overall chance of developing the disease within the same period.
"This is the first-ever study to show the long-term health of those who failed the glucose challenge test," said Chodick.
The study has been published in the journal Diabetic Medicine.

The mission of EpiPredict is to train a multidisciplinary cohort of young researchers in a new approach to fully exploit the epigenetics of complex diseases. The 12 early-stage researchers (ESRs) will focus on a narrowly defined case, Tamoxifen-induced resistance in Estrogen Receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, considering five resistance interacting pathways. Given the frequent Tamoxifen treatment failure, resistance prevention and reversal is an urgent clinical problem that is central in EpiPredict. The EpiPredict intersectorial training programme employs a timely systems medicine approach combining next-generation systematic epigenetic, gene/protein profiling with innovative gene-specific epigenetic interference technologies for iterative computational modelling. Together the ESRs will identify key epigenetic changes underlying Tamoxifen induced resistance. This will provide an important step towards diagnostic markers/tools to predict treatment outcome and response monitoring setting the scene for breast cancer personalized medicine. The fellows will be trained by experts from 6 academic and 2 non-academic beneficiaries and 7 partner organizations (1 academic, 6 non-academic including industrial/socio-public parties) and 5 visiting scientists, from fields ranging from epigenetics to both computation and medicine. Strong involvement of the private sector ensures exploitation of EpiPredict achievements and exposure of the ESRs to an entrepreneurial mindset.
The cohort of supradisciplinary researchers represents a new generation of research leaders equipped to address complex diseases whilst taking personalized patient aspects into consideration. They will be equipped to compete successfully and succeed in their personal careers. EpiPredict will boost academia and pharma/biotech environments, providing extra impulses to drive European translational science, systems medicine, pharmaceutical industry, and Medical ICT offering ample job opportunities.

Wait! Before you call an appliance repair in Skokie for help, you might be able to keep your household appliances in good condition with the help of the tips below.
1. Smelly Washing Machine
A unpleasant odor in a washing machine can defeat the point of the appliance! If you’re in the process of trying to wash your clothes so they’re fresh and clean, but your washing machine will not cooperate, run an empty cycle in warm water and pour in two cups of white vinegar and a half-cup of baking soda to remove the odor. This issue commonly occurs in front-loading machines. To prevent future smells, leave the door open in between cycles so it can dry out.
2. Inefficient Refrigerant
A lukewarm refrigerator is not a good sign. A warm refrigerator definitely won’t keep liquids cold or refreshing, and the food on the inside might also be on the verge of going rotten! In several cases, your refrigerator won’t be in need of professional repair; the inside might just need a cleaning. Or the coils on the back panel of the appliance are overdue for cleaning.
Unplug the refrigerator and move it out from the wall prior to vacuuming the refrigerator coils. If you can’t notice instant cooling improvement, it’s a good idea to contact a professional appliance repair company in Skokie for a diagnosis.
3. Clicking Igniter on Stove
If the igniter on a gas-powered oven clicks nonstop and the burner does not light, look to be sure the burner top is tightened and properly aligned. You might notice this issue if you’ve recently had a boil over or spill on the stove top.
Otherwise, the source is probably a dirty igniter. To clean the igniter on a gas-powered stove, first remove the burner lid and wipe away any particles. You can use a pin to scrape debris from the grooves of the igniter. If that does not eliminate the issue, it is safest not to disassemble a lighter unless you have right training; enlist a professional appliance repair service to investigate the issue.
4. Broken Garbage Disposal
A sink’s garbage disposal has self-protection with its own overload trip switch. If it becomes filled up, overheats, runs for too much time, or has a different issue, the disposal might simply have to be reset rather than repaired. First, make sure the switch is OFF. Next, find the reset switch on the disposal under the kitchen sink and press the button. If the button does not stay in, wait ten minutes and press it again. Turn on the water and then turn the button on.
If the disposal is filled with debris and you only hear a humming noise and not waste grinding, you may need to twist the blades using a hex key to clear the clog. Then, push in the reset button to get the disposal working again. If these tips do not get the appliance working like normal, please don’t give in to the temptation to shove your hands down in the disposal to solve the problem. Be safe and schedule service with a professional appliance service in Skokie.
5. No Power from Outlet
In a bathroom or kitchen, the electrical outlets must be installed with GFCI capabilities in order to protect people from harm in wet environments. If a GFCI electrical outlet isn’t generating power, push in the red “reset” button to see if it restores juice.
If it does not, or if you are trying on a standard outlet, make certain that a breaker has not been tripped in the circuit breaker box. If you’re not sure if a breaker was tripped, switch it so it is in the OFF position and then flip it back into the ON position. Please remember, safety near electricity is critical. If you have any concerns, call a professional technician.
6. Wobbling Washing Machine
A shaking washer will often create quite a loud banging and is not a ideal method to get wash clothes. If yours starts knocking around, the machine might be broken down. To repair this problem, turn the legs of the machine to lower or lift each corner until it is straightened out. One other likely situation is that the unit is not leveled. Open the lid and move around the clothes so they are dispersed within the drum of the appliance.
Trying this could help your washer not need to work as hard. If you do try to arrange the clothes a few times without success, do not ignore the problem. You may have a loosened drum or motor mount on your hands, which can be easy for a professional to repair. But continuing to use the washing machine when it has this issue might damage other components and result in a more costly repair over time.

No 1 Eloff Street shows private-sector’s belief in Mashaba’s inner-city plans
Residential, retail, entertainment space and ‘precinct plans’, rather than isolated building revamps, may be the way to turn Joburg around
Imagine a space where you can trade‚ have a business meeting‚ dine‚ have an artist sketch your face and spend a night.
This is the new No 1 Eloff Street property in the Johannesburg city centre. Just a few blocks from Gandhi Square, the development has restaurants‚ clubs‚ flats‚ an events hall‚ office space and retail space for hawkers.
No 1 Eloff Street was built in the 1960s and was originally a car dealership‚ later becoming OK Bazaars, and at one time it housed the ANC Women’s League. When Geoff Jardine‚ a director of Molten Black Properties‚ bought the building in 2015 it was a car storage depot.
He converted the middle two floors into 320 flats of one and two bedroom units. The rent ranges from R3,500 to R5,500. On the ground floor are restaurants‚ the events hall‚ 1,600m² of office space‚ bars‚ art studios and cafés.
"What we are developing here is a suburb called ‘Joziburg’. We have now bought the buildings around us and will be expanding the whole precinct so that it allows the space between the buildings to become public space‚" Jardine said. "Part of our strategy for inner city buildings is that it does not have to be boring. It might be cheap to rent but it can be fun‚ exciting and lifting."
But he admitted that conversion of the building came at a price, with the development costing more than R100m. "We are geared up now to take other properties around us and we are going to spend another R300m or R400m in the next three to four years."
Jardine said turning the inner-city around will be an arduous task for Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba. "He has a big ship to turn. There is a lot of hard work [to be done] to get this on track. There are still billing complications, but I think there is an intent to get things right."
Johannesburg MMC for economic development Leah Knott said the development on Eloff Street was evidence that the private sector is willing to invest in the mayor’s vision, adding that the plan was to develop the city using precincts instead of isolated building revamps.
"You can’t just develop one building there and another elsewhere. You need to do precinct plans‚ which means you do developments in blocks. You take four blacks and identify the investment plan for that particular area," she said. "This allows you not to just bring housing but also retail space‚ social space and whatever facility is needed in that area."

Whether you’re looking for a new role, or you’re looking for a new hire, company culture can make or break your decision. According to a recent survey, 81% of employees think a company lacking in culture is doomed to mediocrity. Yet, it’s something we can all play a part in building. We spoke to Corey Wagner, Co-founder and CEO of Bananatag, whose own company culture went from broken to brilliant, about how to build a great team culture.
Bananatag started in 2012 as a tool to help sales teams measure how clients interact with their emails. But the close-knit startup was quietly surprised when their audience started using their service to track employee engagement. Initially, they didn’t understand why their customers needed to measure internal engagement. But as the team moved into new offices and began to rapidly expand, they realized they had engagement issues of their own.
“As we grew, we concentrated on hitting our targets and tracking metrics,” says Wagner. “We implemented all these processes, but forgot to do personal check-ins, or to spend time getting to know people like we used to. One day, I told a team member about our amazing statistics, and they told me that they felt like just another number at the company. That was when I realized there was more we needed to work on.”
Today, the growth-stage company has offices in Vancouver and Kelowna, BC. Their tools are helping large companies track engagement metrics in internal communications, and they’re leading by example when it comes to creating and driving company culture. So how did they turn it around? Here are Wagner’s top five tips for engaging employees and creating team culture:
1. Make Company Culture a Priority
If you’re carving out time to think about and discuss culture with your future employer, or your existing employees, you’re already ahead of the game. Consider what’s working, what’s not working, and what can be improved. It’s a big step that many fail to take.
“The biggest mistake we see people making is not thinking about company culture at all,” says Wagner. “We’ll talk to companies who have 1000+ people, but they don’t have someone in a role who is trying to improve the culture, or they aren’t thinking about it holistically. When we weren’t thinking about it, it became a problem.”
2. Define and Communicate Your Values
If you want to create a great company culture, defining and communicating your values frequently is essential. If uncertain of your company’s values, chances are you’re not walking to the beat of the same drum. Ask your employer what their values are — and if they’re not documented, rally together to define them.
“We defined our values when we were about eight people. We took feedback from everyone — what they liked and we were striving for — and melded that together to create the company values,” says Wagner. “We’ve grown a lot since then and while goals have been reworded, they’ve essentially stayed the same.”
3. Hire the Right People
The hiring process can complement, or dramatically shift a company’s culture. It may seem counterintuitive, but prioritizing cultural fit over skill set will benefit the individual and the organization. Before you take a role, and before you hire, think about how that decision might might complement or rattle the team dynamic.
“We’re very selective about who we hire,” says Wagner. “We look at a person’s skills, and how they’re going to fit with the team. When we interview, the most important thing for us is cultural fit. It’s not — ‘is this a nice person, or a bad person?’ It’s ‘will they gel with the three people they will sit next to?’ Sometimes there are people who you know will get along and there are some that might ruffle some feathers.”
“When you have a strong team that works well together, and you bring someone in who behaves like a dick, issues will bubble up to the surface quickly. That’s the one great thing about building a critical mass of great people; it becomes much easier to spot and address problems.”
4. Invest in Personal Development
There’s a saying that goes “no one cares about your career as much as you.” But when your future employer invests in your personal growth, that interest makes employees more engaged. As an employee, it’s something to look for, and as an employer, it’s something to cultivate.
“We believe that personal development is a key to success,” says Wagner. “We want everyone to leave here better than they came. We want people in the future to say, “Wow, they worked at Bananatag — we know they’re going to be great.”
“We believe that personal development is a key to success,” says Wagner. “We want everyone to leave here better than they came.”
“I love using the book, So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport as a set-up. It questions the idea of pursuing a passion and shows you how to find work you love by becoming an expert. This sets up the stage for how to become a rockstar and why you should become one.”
5. Find Reasons to Celebrate
Fun workplaces make the day job feel less like hard work. It may seem sensible to skip celebrating successes when you’re busy, but you’d be passing up on the opportunity to connect with your team. Don’t have anything to celebrate? Find something — no matter how small.
“People like to hang out less in winter, so we make more of a point to plan more celebrations and events,” says Wagner. “We used to do Halloween and other big events, but now we find extra things to celebrate. We had four or five ‘Bananaversaries’ recently and threw a ‘Bananimals’ theme party, where everyone dressed up like animals.”
“It doesn’t have to be flashy, as long as the team connects,” Wagner says. “For our Christmas party, we got both offices together and went to some cabins in the mountains. We try to bring our employees and their significant others together every six months. You learn so much about your team and it really builds culture.”
As the Bananatag team move into new offices, it won’t surprise you to learn that they’re prioritizing space where people can meet up. It also won’t surprise you to hear that the company is well respected in the tech community. After all, who doesn’t want to work somewhere that puts people first? So, whether you’re looking for a role — or looking to hire for a role, remember that a commitment to culture is a commitment to success.
How has your company’s culture impacted your enjoyment of your job? We’d love to hear from you! Share your experience and give your advice in the comments below.

Dry, cracked winter skin got you down? March 02 2015
By Michael Greger MD
Instead of treating sensitive skin topically, with lotions and creams, why not treat it from the
inside out with diet?
About half of the American population says they have sensitive skin, defined loosely as
tingling, chafing, burning, itching sensations when exposed to various environmental factors. A
similar high prevalence has been reported throughout Japan and Europe, and it appears
especially prevalent among women. Often there are no obvious signs, so it was dismissed as a
“princess and the pea” phenomenon by the medical community. Now it’s largely recognized as
a genuine physiological phenomenon, thought to arise from a breakdown of the skin barrier that
allows potentially irritating substances to penetrate the skin and generate an inflammatory
reaction. So what can we do about it?
In 2011, a paper was published entitled “Supplementation of Flaxseed Oil Diminishes Skin
Sensitivity and Improves Skin Barrier Function and Condition.” In a randomized double-blind 12-week study, researchers gave women about a half teaspoon of flaxseed oil a day versus
safflower oil as a control. That’s the amount of oil found in about a teaspoon and a half of flax
To measure skin sensitivity they painted an irritant chemical on their forearms, and after three
months there was a significant decrease in skin reddening in the flax group compared to the
safflower group. Their skin ended up significantly better hydrated, had significantly better barrier
function, was less rough, less scaly, and was smoother
The best source of flaxseed oil is within the flaxseed itself. Then you get all the nutrition of the
whole food, and it’s cheaper and more stable than the oil. Make sure to grind them up to
maximize nutrient absorption. Unlike flaxseed oil, you can bake flaxseeds without destroying the
omega 3s, and you can even store ground flaxseed for a month at room temperature without
spoilage or oxidation.
Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician and author.

Think it's best Braintree's place to stay. Room was a great value for money. Breakfast was included, that was a bonus.
We have stayed here before now and recommend it. Hotel was very clean, free Wi Fi. Venue's manager was top! The hotel had excellent customer service.
You have a working hoe. Working out of the hotel. Gena chambers. Real fucking nice hotel.
We had to leave at 4:30am to get to the airport. Pleasantly surprised to find some coffee, juice and breakfast items available for us.
A bit further out than we thought. No place to grab some food when we arrived.
Beds were comfortable and the shower was amazing.
The front desk person was rude and did not inform me a hold would be put on my account for using a debit card. She was unapologetic and not at all interested in making the guest happy. She was more than unpleasant.
We got there expected a queen bed it was a full put us in three rooms before they found a clean one and this was at almost 3 o'clock should've been plenty of time
staff, and location (close to south shore mall)
carpets are old,room (air conditioner unit, furniture) needs updating
The room was very clean and the breakfast was wonderful! Location close to shopping and restaurants without being directly in the hub of the city.
There was a moldy/stuffy smell to the room and on our first night, the bathtub did not drain out the water. Problem was corrected the next day after notifying the hotel staff.
not the best service but the breakfast was nice.
I had booked the room expecting one price but when I got there was quoted another. They gave me a reduced price for two nights then the full price for the third night. Not happy about that.
The prices were rational and the place was clean
The room curtains don't close fully.
We arrived to run the Ragnar cape cod the night before our race and the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable and it was very easy to get to and leave from. When the staff member told us what time breakfast was setup we commented that breakfast would be too late for us to get any at 6 am because we would be leaving at 515 and when we left at 515 the whole breakfast area was setup and ready to go so we were all able to get a little something before we left which we thought was great!
Clean quiet friendly
The owner sits in the entry first floor Hall way on his computer and phone watching the place
Everything was clean, the hotel was quiet throughout the night, very comfortable
The room was very, quiet clean and comfortable. The desk clerk was friendly and the accessibily to our room met our needs nicely.
The breakfast bar was not set up at its scheduled time and the hot foods were not ready. The floor has been mopped with dirty water and swirls of dried dirt were visible throughout the eating area. I was not able get a receipt for my room because it was booked through you rather than Holiday Inn.
Good value for money Close to my business destination

Interchange Fee Facts for Merchant Consideration
The interchange fee –the largest single cost portion within the overall cost of a single credit card transaction can be a confusing concept. But a firm grasp is essential for an overall understanding of B2B payment processing costs for purchasing cards and commercial credit cards and most importantly, reducing them to the lowest possible denominator.and a preferable interchange category. Managing the interchange fee is essential to all payment card processing B2B merchants. Unfortunately, there is a lot of incorrect information defining interchange fees or rates, and the complex relationships between the factors that influence it. Let’s sort through it – in basic order.
Visa and MasterCard are bank card associations and they set the guidelines for credit card issuance and acceptance. Credit cards are not issued by the card associations themselves, but by banks (and credit unions, organizations, retailers) all across the country whom they contract with to market and manage the credit cards. You see these every day – Chase, Capital One and so on. American Express and Discover are also associations, and they issue their own cards and contract with others to do so.
There are truly just three core cost components of any single credit card transaction. See below.
There is an interchange fee associated with each individual interchange category (approx 700). The fees are set by the card associations. Interchange fees are non-negotiable, are a percentage of the transaction and are paid to the bank or entity that issued the credit card. By far the largest cost component of a credit card transaction.
The assessment fees are paid to the card brand associations. They are a small percentage rate of the transaction (typically between .11% and .13% of the transaction). These are non negotiable fees. The card networks provide the structure, security guidelines and much of the innovation and research that is the payments industry.
Or processing fee – are paid to the merchant account provider. This fee is negotiable but often includes many things such as risk, payment gateway fees, PCI compliance, etc. The provider presents the fees in an interchange cost plus, tiered discount rate or an overall flat rate pricing model that encompasses all of the credit card costs noted here.
Interchange Fees vs Interchange Categories
Let’s be clear. The interchange fee is determined by the interchange category the credit card transaction falls into. The interchange category and associated interchange rates are set by the individual card brands (all of them). Processors do not lower your interchange fees per se, they assist in ensuring your transaction falls into the interchange category that will authorize it at the lowest possible interchange fee/rate.
These established interchange categories number literally in the hundreds (approximately 700 total). Below are some of the complex variables considered by all the brands/associations relative to the single transaction, that determine the transactions processing interchange category (whew, peter piper…)– keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list!)
- Card type – credit or debit? basic? rewards? higher rewards? government procurement (purchasing card!)?
- Method or how processed and “environment” – was the card swiped? Keyed? NFC (Near Field Communications)? Was it through an e-commerce site? mobile phone? Chip reader?
- Data collected on the transaction? Zip code? CVV code? Level 3?
- Size or amount of the transaction?
- Type of business processing the card? or MCC code.
*Noteworthy – the interchange fee is paid to the card issuing bank – NOT your bank, and NOT your processor. This substantial revenue source – interchange fees – goes to a bank that you have no business tie or relationship with – or of course – American Express/Discover.
Many merchants we consult and eventually work with seem to think their bank is receiving the interchange fees from their company’s credit card transactions. It’s not surprising really – even Forbes contributors promote the common misnomer – see Colao’s 2013 – Interchange is for Suckers. First paragraph – big mistake – “the lions share goes to your bank”. Worse – see interchange in the creditcard.com glossary – no.
This misnomer however, creates a “value added” myth to the relationship between the merchant, their bank, and payment processing services. Banks making money from your credit card transactions are all over the country, and yes, they make a lot of it, but again, it’s not your business bank, and it’s not for processing, it’s for issuance. And while banks specialize in issuing cards – they rarely maintain expertise on staff knowledgeable enough about processing them to implement interchange control. Interchange fees are currently a fact of life in business for merchants who accept electronic payments (and it would be foolish not to) and they will not be going away anytime soon.
Card issuing banks earn interchange fees because they are the entity that absorbs the unpaid debts, fraud, marking costs for the card and the cost of any associated reward programs.
Interchange fee management is in reality, interchange category management. The card associations have attractive, lost cost interchange categories for the B2B merchant, such as level 3, level 2 and high ticket transaction rates. Interchange cost plus pricing models are touted as best practice – but beware of the inexperienced merchant account provider who sets you up as a retail merchant where your transactions fall into retail interchange categories. It’s a transparent model sure, you are getting cost – but it’s not the lowest cost. It’s retail vs wholesale. Rookie mistake.
Choosing an experienced B2B payment provider would be wise. Remember XBS Global assists B2B merchants in the reduction of interchange fees through intelligent payment processing. Eliminate waste, and process profitably.

Adopting more digitalization in firms separates the thrivers from the survivors
Businesses across the world were propelled into the digital-first era by COVID-19, which has been both beneficial and disruptive. When the pandemic struck, technology had already begun to transform various sectors of the economy, business models, and supply chains in response to consumer demand for more touchless and seamless digital experiences. The result of this shift has been the rapid adoption of digital technologies, such as cloud computing and Artificial Intelligence, which have enabled businesses to power better customer experiences while reducing costs.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
In the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META), digital transformation investments are expected to more than double between 2021 and 2026, according to the most recent forecast from International Data Corporation (IDC). Over the next five years, spending on digital transformation in the region is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16 percent, reaching $74 billion in 2026 and making up 43.2 percent of all ICT investments that year. This substantial growth in digital transformation spending reflects the increasing importance of technology in enabling regional economic development and improving operational efficiencies.
IDC revealed that it expects telecommunications services spending to increase 3.6 percent year on year (YoY) in 2023 to reach $133.9 billion, with IT spending set to grow 4.3 percent YoY to $99.9 billion. As the region's digital economy increasingly takes shape, IDC forecasts that digital transformation spending in the META region will top $48.8 billion in 2023 and accelerate at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16 percent over the coming years to cross the $74 billion mark in 2026.
The digital and technological investments that many organisations made during the pandemic to increase resilience may be put to the test in 2023 in areas such as customer experience, operations, and financial management. The key to separating the thrivers from the survivors will be the implementation of further digitalization in crucial areas and a more rapid shift to a "digital business" approach.
At this point, enterprises must switch from traditional infrastructure, which is ineffective, rigid, and hard to scale, to highly responsive, resilient, and adaptable infrastructure that spans edge, core, and cloud to adopt a "digital-first" approach. The digital-first approach allows businesses to be agile and responsive, ready for rapid market changes, and able to gain a competitive edge.
Investments in technology and interoperability by the ICT sector have helped make a huge change in how information and money move around the world economy. Globally, IDC expects spending on digital technology by organizations to grow at eight times the economy in 2023, establishing a foundation for organizations to drive operational excellence, competitive differentiation, and long-term growth.
Organizations must keep their eye on their digital aspirations no matter what the economy throws at us over the next 12 months. The emphasis should be on facilitating precise and quantifiable results, and digital spending must shift from building to scaling. In fact, operating a truly digital business and scaling innovation will account for at least 30 percent of the C-suite's attention by 2027. This process will be driven by automation, which will help to address labour shortages, lower the cost of IT operations, and speed up innovation.
Leaders won't make drastic cuts in technology in a world that is dominated by digital, where an organization's competitiveness is based on its digital business model. Unwinding these investments will be difficult during the first potential "as-a-service" recession, when cloud spending accounts for 40 percent of enterprise IT budgets. But as tech leaders work to get the most business value out of their investments in technology, new strategies will be used. Tech leaders must simplify and reduce costs in their technology stack while updating the underpinning infrastructure to ensure resilience in a digital-first economy.

From Seed to Tree: Collecting and Curating the Kentucky coffeetree, Gymnocladus dioicus, (L.) K. Koch
Collaboration of the authors over the past ten years has resulted in the acquisition and preservation of one of the most comprehensive ex situ woody plant seed collections represented in the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System and a Nationally Accredited Gymnocladus dioicus living collection at the Brenton Arboretum. Systematical site selection and population sampling techniques strived to ensure a collection adaptable to a wide-range of climatic factors. The firsthand knowledge of these genetic resources will help with species management efforts and demonstrate the importance of gene banks and arboreta in the conservation of tree genetics.
This poster was presented at the 2018 Plant Collections Symposium in Vancouver.

The gray market for cellphones will contract for the second consecutive year in 2013, with worldwide shipments dropping by 12 percent, according to the China Research service from information and analytics provider IHS.
Global shipments reached their peak in 2011 with a total of 250.4 million gray-market cellphones. But beginning last year, the market began to shrink, dropping to 221.5 million units. The deceleration will continue this year to 194.6 million units, followed by another steep fall to 173.8 million units in 2014. The decline will continue at least through 2017, when shipments will dwindle to 133.9 million units.
The gray market overall is impacted by an accelerated decrease in the sales of feature phones. And while the ultra-low cost handset (ULCH) and smartphone segments of the gray market will continue to grow until 2014, expansion in these segments won't be enough to counteract the drop in the feature-phone market.
Gray-market handsets, as defined by IHS, include counterfeit products like fake iPhones as well as white-box cellphones on which any logo can be readily imprinted. White-box handsets often are illegal despite sporting a logo because they use smuggled chips, lack official certification from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), use fake International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) codes and usually are trafficked through Hong Kong to avoid valued-added taxes (VAT) from being imposed on the devices.
Nonetheless, several factors are contributing to declining demand for gray-market cellphones. Name-brand handsets, for instance, are now more preferred in the emerging markets where gray-market cellphones initially made waves. Furthermore, some gray-market handset suppliers have become branded manufacturers themselves in order to promote their own names in developing countries.
Meanwhile, it is becoming harder for gray-handset makers to differentiate their products from a sea of counterfeits and remain profitable. And with the Chinese currency appreciating in value, the gray-handset business is no longer as profitable as it once was.
Asia-Pacific, including China, is the largest gray-handset market in the world, and the devices have a strong presence in India, Vietnam, Thailand, Pakistan, Indonesia and the Philippines. The area, however, is not immune to decline, and the Asia-Pacific gray-handset market will contract this year to 103 million units, on its way to 53 million units by 2017.
The Middle East and Africa in 2012 surpassed Central and Latin America as the second-largest gray handset market, driven by increasing demand from countries such as Nigeria, Turkey, Egypt and Iran. Gray-market handset shipments this year to the Middle East and Africa will decrease slightly to 38.2 million units.
Central and Latin America together represented the third-largest gray-handset market, with 37.3 million units forecast to be shipped in 2013.
Countries in Eastern Europe, such as Russia and Ukraine, also are major target markets.
Branded handsets growing in China
In China, the world's largest handset market, total cellphone shipments from Chinese companies will grow to 840 million units in 2013, up 2 percent from 2012. However, shipments will begin to decline starting in 2014, IHS believes.
Within the Chinese smartphone space, shipments this year will grow to 361 million units, offsetting the decrease in shipments of feature phones from the Chinese companies. China shipments this year will also grow in the ULCH segment, driven by demand from low-income consumers in developing countries buying the Chinese handsets.

TREES FOR SCHOOLS
Our pledge is to work toward a green future for our children and for the future of our planet.
In 2021 Greening Wymondham pledged to give a tree to every final year primary school child in Wymondham. In 2022, as part of the 1 Million Trees for Norfolk initiative, and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Greening Wymondham will again present every Year 6 pupil in three primary schools with a tree in December. The children will receive a bare root tree whip, suitable for planting in a small garden, for raising in a pot in a courtyard, or for planting in a public area to be sourced with Greening Wymondham’s or their school’s, aid. The trees were purchased from the Norfolk County Council who are running the scheme. It has been chosen with biodiversity, nature connectivity, clean air and small gardens in mind.
Greening Wymondham hope that the children will plant their tree whip immediately when they get home(!) giving it a chance to live and thrive in your garden. Otherwise heel it in to be planted finally later; planting and heeling in instructions are below. The children could write a secret message with their name on it, saying this is their tree planted with hope for your green future on this day in 2022, and plant it with their tree. Once planted, add the tree online to the Queen’s Green Canopy Map.
Trees are essential for the health of our environment. When established, trees hold carbon, and when they are older, the substantial amounts of carbon they hold are essential in our bid to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, trees provide valuable habitat for birds and many species of invertebrates. When leaves shed in the winter, they decompose, adding food to the soil and providing shelter for wildlife. Leaves make a great mulch for your garden when gathered and combined with manure. Trees take up water whereas pavements, roads and deforested land can and do cause run-offs and flooding. Trees signal to other trees, and share nutrients with each other too (can you believe it?) through the soil. More trees will keep our planet cooler, and are absolutely vital for our future.
By the way, trees can be cut into hedge trees if you are worried about them growing too big. Hedges, and hedgehogs too, matter. And just so you know, if a larger established tree and house seem to live in harmony with each other despite close proximity, it is better not to disturb that relationship.
To learn how to plant and care for your tree please see our information sheet below, along with a video on planting trees from the Woodland Trust.

Tropical storm conditions are expected for South Texas and northeastern Mexico on Sunday after Hurricane Hanna roared ashore on Saturday as a Category 1 storm.
Hanna was the first hurricane of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season and came ashore on Saturday afternoon around Port Mansfield, Texas, with maximum sustained winds of 90mph. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) downgraded the hurricane to a tropical storm early Sunday.
Chris Birchfield, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service (NWS) in Brownsville, told AP News the storm's real threat continues to be heavy rainfall. "We're still expecting catastrophic flooding," he said.
Rainfall estimates are in the range of 6 to 12 inches through Sunday night, with isolated areas could receive upwards of 18 inches. Willacy County, Texas, which is near Brownsville and the border with Mexico, has already reported 12.6 inches. Brownsville is reporting 5.6 inches and Reynosa, a city in Mexico, has already seen 11 inches.
