Team England have named para-athlete and para-triathlete Jade Jones-Hall as their closing ceremony flagbearer for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.
Jade, 22 from Middlesbrough, completed a stunning achievement this morning, winning medals in two separate sports. She claimed bronze in the T54 marathon just one week after becoming England’s first ever female para-triathlon Commonwealth Champion.
She will carry the flag to close out Team England’s most successful ever performance in Australia with 45 gold 45 silver and 46 bronze medals won.
Tonight’s closing ceremony also sees the start of the countdown to Team England’s home Games in Birmingham in 2022.
On being nominated as closing ceremony flagbearer Jade Jones-Hall, said: "I didn’t expect to receive this honour but I am really looking forward to representing our team at the ceremony.
“It hasn’t been easy turning things around after the triathlon, it has taken time to recover for the marathon. But I am delighted to win two medals in two sports; the hard work has paid off.
“I have enjoyed how the Games have been completely integrated between para and non para sport, it is something I have been pushing for. I love how it isn’t about the disability but it is about the sport and for me, that’s is what it is all about. We started at 6am this morning but the streets were lined with people so that is really encouraging."
Athletics Team Leader Martin Rush said: “I am delighted that Jade will have the honour of carrying the flag at tonight's ceremony. At these Games, Jade has exemplified how different sports can compete together as one team and has achieved an incredible level of performance across both of her disciplines.
“These Games have again shown how para and non-para athletics can be successfully integrated into the same athletics programme and Jade carrying our flag is a further demonstration of that success. We look forward to seeing her lead the team later this evening."
Triathlons Team Leader Ian Pyper said: “Jade has achieved a phenomenal feat during these Commonwealth Games. To add bronze to the gold she received a week ago in only her fourth ever international paratriathlon race is fantastic and well deserving of the honour to bear the Team England flag in tonight's closing ceremony.
“There were so many athletes worthy of this honour and for Jade to be selected is brilliant both for her and the sport. I'll be thrilled to watch her lead the team out this evening to draw the curtain on a thoroughly successful Games.”
Team England Chef de Mission Sarah Winckless said “This has been a Games of standout performances for Team England.
"With Netball and Basketball recording their best ever performances, multiple gold medals for the likes of Nile Wilson and memorable moments such as Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott’s two world records, this was not an easy decision
“Jade’s performances across two sports have been phenomenal, she has helped lead the team both on and off the field of play and I know she will do the team proud tonight.”

SCHOOL governors have stepped in to save Coventry’s only Saturday club and summer scheme for disabled children from closure.
The future of Castle Wood School’s Saturday club and holiday scheme, which caters for youngsters at all primary schools across the city, was in doubt when its council funding was axed.
Now governors have approved the use of school funds to pay for the service, although only children from Castle Wood in Wood End will benefit.
They have also agreed that parents and disabled children can use the facilities on Saturdays.
The six-week summer scheme was intended as pilot which was funded by Coventry City Council for three years, but the funding ended this month due to government budget cuts.
The Telegraph reported in January how parents and children formed the Friends of Castle Wood group and launched a campaign to raise the funds to run the only service of its kind in the city.
If they failed, the Saturday group would end in May and the holiday club would be axed.
Governors at the school, which already funds an after-school club, have saved the school’s summer scheme with their approval, but it means only 30 Castle Wood pupils will enjoy the service.
The scheme used to cater for more than 100 children from all the city’s primary schools.
Sandra Gourley, out of school care manager, was delighted by the news but is disappointed youngsters from other schools will miss out. She said: “We are incredibly grateful to the school governors.
“Their agreement to fund the school’s summer school means it can at least go ahead for this year. But the summer scheme can only serve current Castle Wood School pupils and many parents are gutted by this.
“They’ve been crying out for it and it’s been a lifeline to so many for so long but at least it’s not closing completely.”
Ms Gourley is applying to charities for additional funding so non-Castle Wood School children can attend.

ART REVIEW; In History's Comforting Sweep
By ROBERTA SMITH
Published: September 21, 2001
''AMERICAN IDENTITIES: A New Look,'' at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, is an ambitious, often bold reinstallation of works from the museum's permanent collection. With objects of all kinds, it fills a ring of seven large galleries to the brim. The exhibition has been a few years in the planning, but given its encompassing view of American history and culture, it might almost have been ordered up in the aftermath of the events of Sept. 11. It is, in a sense, deeply and comfortingly site specific.
Emphasizing both the strengths and the idiosyncrasies of Brooklyn's vast collections, this carefully thought through presentation expands the definition of American, as the Whitney Museum has done recently, to the whole Western Hemisphere. It includes Native American pottery and baskets, Colonial paintings and folk art from North and South America, all kinds of ceramics and furniture, as well as modernist and post-modernist abstractions by artists ranging from Georgia O'Keeffe to Hans Hofmann and beyond. All this disparate material outlines many aspects, and some of the main events of life and culture in Brooklyn, New York City and the United States since the mid-18th century.
The Revolutionary War, the Federal style, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the Ashcan School -- these all move in and out of the picture, coming into focus with varying degrees of detail. The country's ethnic and racial mix, its social triumphs and its failures are examined without platitudes or preachiness.
There are problems, but by and large ''American Identities'' offers a remarkable experience at this terrible moment. It can provide both respite and inspiration, taking viewers away from the present and delivering them back to it with a renewed sense of the resilience of the human spirit.
Marshaling an impressive array of local facts, it doesn't so much place objects in context as extract context from them. The show's many labels accentuate the visual. They discuss materials, technique and genres, then move outward from there to consider where the objects were made or manufactured (sometimes in Brooklyn), by whom and for whom. In short, while ''American Identities'' puts art and history on an equal footing, art still leads the way.
This reinstallation marks the first phase of the museum's own Henry Luce Center for American Art. And it is an attempt to go where few museums have successfully gone before, to convey a larger social fabric while still letting art speak for itself.
It is also a bid for self-definition, at least where American art is concerned, and not simply because the museum's own history is part of the narrative. With this exhibition the Brooklyn Museum announces that it isn't the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Modern or the Whitney, and doesn't want to be. It is not exactly the anti-Met or the anti-Modern, but in ways that these institutions wouldn't dream of, it states its allegiance to a local and diverse Brooklyn audience. Impressively, it does this without talking down, excluding others or seeming unsophisticated. Some works are accompanied by quotations from Brooklyn schoolchildren about their reactions to the art; on the audioguide, people from various professions weigh in. Discussing Malvina Hoffman's majestic, larger-than-life bust of a young black woman, carved in black marble in 1927, a Brooklyn public school teacher says of the sculpture's statuesque hairdo, ''My students wear their hair like this.''
Art exhibitions as thematic, historical, user-friendly timelines can be fragmented, hectoring experiences, and upon first encounter ''American Identities'' may not look like an exception. Certain galleries are veritable obstacle courses of vitrines, and the show initially has the clutter and incoherence of an art fair or a museum's open-storage displays. (The second phase of the Luce Center will actually be open storage -- 3,000 objects installed in galleries adjacent to these -- and is to open sometime in 2003.)
The wall colors blare: bright orange in the opening gallery followed by brilliant blue, acidic green, dark purple and bright peach, with occasional stretches of cream and gray. Broad contrasting borders run across the tops and bottoms of walls and sometimes up and down. Angling this way and that, they create irregular geometries and overlapping planes that have a click-and-drag feeling to them. (They also recall Frank Stella's ''Irregular Polygon'' series from the mid-1960's.)
The elaborate setting is the work of Matthew Yokobosky, the museum's exhibition's designer, whose résumé includes work as a curator. At times, it seems to have been modemed from the computer screen to the gallery wall without any intervening test runs.
I never quite adjusted to the crowding of objects. There are too many terrific paintings that you can't get close enough to, among them a landscape that the young Childe Hassam painted in France in 1884 and a portrait of a woman named Jeannette Woolley by Ammi Phillips, the great American itinerant. She wears a green dress as stiff and gleaming as sheet metal, like the peasants in Malevich's Cubo-Futurist paintings.

View Full Version : weaver size
07-13-2008, 06:50 AM
what is the weaver size on the mr 3 and can the tippy g36 X7 (and yes i mean the X7 not just the 36) hand rail fit on the mr 3????
slim and shady
07-13-2008, 07:24 AM
the weaver rail size is 7/8. No it wont fit without moding.
07-13-2008, 08:44 AM
what do you mean by modding? is it to long or it doesnt fit the weaver mount. Heres my problem, I use Vforce profiler goggles and when i line up to see the default MR3 hand rail is blocking my sight and if i were to use the spyder red dot it would be to high above the gun to sight in. Also if i just took off the hand rail and added any red dot it would be too low. :( any ideas?
07-13-2008, 08:46 AM
maybe this might work
07-13-2008, 08:51 AM
That should work as long as it's actually shorter than the carry handle.
07-13-2008, 11:34 AM
ok now im confused, in my search for a raised mount for the red dot i found Trimount Flattop Tactical Rail Mount http://www.paintballexpress.com/get_item_sgtntrim_trimount-flattop-tactical-rail-mount.htm
and it states "Fits any 7/8" rail such as found on Tippmann A5, Model 98/ Custom Pro, X7 and BT-4 markers." at the bottem so if mr3 is 7/8 then why cant the X7 handrail fix?
07-13-2008, 11:49 AM
Probably because of the feedneck.

Jennifer Lawrence is back! Maybe not “back”. Back-ish? That makes more sense, right? I mean, she’s been around. It’s not like…damn it! I’m doing that thing again. The actress is currently doing the PR rounds for her latest film, Causeway, and in a New York Times profile, the Academy Award winner discussed the highs and lows of her career:
In an era when new movie stars have proven hard to come by, it’s no wonder that Hollywood grabbed onto Lawrence like a life preserver. Still, she could only remain buoyant for so long. In her mid-20s, as she finished up the “Hunger Games” franchise and moved on to films that were less warmly received, she could sense her fans’ dismay: “I was like, ‘Oh no, you guys are here because I’m here, and I’m here because you’re here. Wait, who decided that this was a good movie?’”
Was there a certain title that made her feel that way? “‘Passengers,’ I guess,” Lawrence said, singling out the lambasted 2016 sci-fi romance she starred in with Chris Pratt. “Adele told me not to do it! She was like, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.’ I should have listened to her.”
Of course. I too live by the following mantra: Always Listen To Adele.
Causeway, also starring Brian Tyree Henry, is currently in select theaters and streaming on Apple TV+.

Crete Pilgrimage 2016 - Day 7
Missoula, Montana to Osoyoos, British Columbia
Another day on the road going north. We took the I-90 north passing Coeur d'Alene and Spokane before branching off onto Highway 2 and crossing the Columbia River again at the Grand Coulee Dam. We stopped at a viewpoint high above the river at Seatons Grove for a picnic lunch then continued north on Highway 155 through Omak and Oroville to the Canadian Border. Leaving the United States is very easy in comparison to attempting to enter and we were soon in the town of Osoyoos for an overnight stay.
Interstate 90 Northbound
The country north of Missoula is flat to gentling rolling and mosly in pasture and grain crops. But beyond Spokane we approached the valley of the Columbia River and we dropped down a number of old escarpments. We reached the Grand Coulee Dam, drove around Electric City, crossed the Columbia below the dam and then climbed again onto the plateau beyond the river. The town of Omak was the centre of fruit growing and soon we met signs telling us we were approaching the Canadian Border. There was even a helpful sign giving the waiting time. Given our experience of US Border crossing a week earlier, I thought the 15 minutes was wildly optimistic, but it proved correct.

(AmericanProsperity.com) – California Republican Senator Brian Dahle pushed back November 27 on some statements from California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who said he has cleared nearly 6,000 homeless encampments across the Golden State. During a press conference, Dahle told reporters that the liberal leader was “gaslighting” Californians on the issue because the governor never cleared the homeless encampments. When asked what really happened, the senator said that authorities simply moved them “down the street.”
Dahle also claimed that the state was spending more tax dollars on homeless people than on young students who didn’t have the proper resources. He also said that the “homeless crisis” that California is currently experiencing is a “national embarrassment” that needs to be solved as soon as possible. The GOP senator added that Newsom needs to focus on “real results” for all Californians instead of “gaslighting” them and chasing his presidential “aspirations.”
A couple of hours before Dahle’s remarks, the governor said during a press conference that his administration would spend $300 million to local municipalities to eliminate homeless encampments and move homeless people to houses. He told reporters that the funds would go to the state’s Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to remove every camp that is on state property and to assist the homeless with resources.
Newsom said during the virtual press conference that his administration cleaned up encampments but never displaced or removed any people. He added that his main goal is to solve the homeless problem in the state, and pointed out that the funds are not a “blank check.”
During an interview with KTVU, Caltrans director Alisa Becerra said that the agency welcomed the funds to clean the camps near bike paths, parks, and freeways. She added that Caltrans is currently working to connect homeless people on their way to move to a more stable and secure “housing situation.”
Multiple polls show that the homeless crisis is one of the main concerns among voters and elected officials in California. Over the last few months, business owners and residents have been complaining about the encampments that block sidewalks, which they said creates more crime.

Getting Creative in The Munchkin Patch
Recently, we were set an exciting challenge by Scotch® which would be sure to get us and our readers into the spirit of Christmas. We were sent a selection of lovely Scotch products along with a choice of challenges to pick from. Munchkin and I decided that we would choose to make a simple, fun and effective way to 'wrap' gift vouchers.
The products we have chosen to use in our video are the Scotch Magic Tape, the Scotch Double Sided Tape and the Scotch Precision Scissors. I wanted to make something that would be simple enough for Munchkin to join in with, although as you will see from the video, she is more interested in having a little chat than actually helping!
We decided to make a simple little creation to hold Gift Cards, seeing as these are more commonly used these days than the paper vouchers. However, you will see from our video, that the design can be easily adapted to any size in order to suit the size of the voucher. Take a look and see what you think ...?
This was our very first video review, so please go easy on me! As you can see, our Scotch products made this challenge simple and mess free. The Double Sided Tape was a perfect substitute to the glue I would have normally used for a project like this, but there was no mess or drying time to consider, which is especially handy when you have an excited 3 year old who wants to wave her creation around immediately after finishing it so she can proudly show it off to anyone who'll listen! And the Magic Tape, although (obviously) not seamless in a project like this, was again mess free, and the results were much more robust, meaning your Gift Card should stay put without the worry of the glue failing!
We had great fun making our Gift Card Holders, and our Scotch products made the whole experience easier and more hassle-free!
Find out more about Scotch's products on their website, and keep up to date with all their latest news by following them on Facebook.
Disclaimer: We were sent the products for the purpose of this review and will be compensated for our time. ALL thoughts and opinions are 100% our own!

Capsida names new CEO
Capsida Biotherapeutics, a venture-backed Thousand Oaks company developing gene therapy treatments, announced the hiring of a new CEO on Dec. 7.
In April, Capsida emerged from “stealth mode” and closed a $140 million series A funding round, one of the largest venture capital raises of the year in the region’s life sciences sector. Capsida is also one of the chief investments so far by Westlake Village BioPartners, which contributed $50 million of the series A funding.
Capsida’s new CEO is Peter Anastasiou, who was previously an executive vice president at Lundbeck, a Danish pharmaceutical company. He has also held management roles at Neuronetics, Bristol-Meyers Squibb Company and Eli Lilly.
Capsida’s previous CEO was Bob Cuddihy, who left an executive post at Amgen to join the startup in 2020.
Capsida also announced new titles for two of its founders, Nicholas Flytzanis and Nick Goeden. Flyntzias was promoted from vice president of research to chief scientific officer, and Goeden was promoted from vice president of technology to chief technology officer.
Capsida’s gene therapy technology is based on research from the lab of its third co-founder, Caltech professor Viviana Gradinaru, who is on the company’s board. In its Dec. 7 news release, Capsida said its gene therapy platform “allows more selective targeting of specific tissues and cells, overcoming many of the problems associated with first-generation gene therapies, specifically off-target cell and organ activity.” It also allows for gene therapy to be administered through non-invasive intravenous methods.
Capsida’s technology could be used in gene therapies for a number of diseases, including neurodegenerative ones. The $140 million series A round included a $90 million partnership with the pharmaceutical company AbbVie to help develop treatments using Capsida’s gene therapy platform.

Earlier today we posted 10 predictions from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo including that the new iPhone 8 will not have Touch ID. However, there's a few tidbits that weren't covered in that report.
Kuo believes the iPhone 7s, iPhone 7s Plus, and iPhone 8 will adopt glass bodies with metal frames to facilitate WPC-standard wireless charging (Qi). Apple will allegedly make an optional wireless charging accessory available for purchase. If this is the case, then the iPhones will feature inductive charging rather than true wireless charging.
Contradicting a Barclays report, Kuo says that the iPhone 8 will ship with the same 5W power adapter having a USB-A port, despite gaining an embedded USB-C power delivery iC for higher charging efficiency.
Finally, Kuo says that the DRAM transfer speed of the memory in the new iPhones will be 10-15% faster for better AR performance.

BOCHUM MEETS TOKYO
For many years, we had been envisioning a highly distinctive tonearm design. Over a period of six years, we developed a series of prototypes that yielded excellent sonic results. Listeners were consistently impressed with the sound quality, as well as the build quality and ease of use. Yet, Volker Bohlmeier, the owner of EINSTEIN, remained somewhat unsatisfied. According to the EINSTEIN philosophy, if something is missing, it cannot be considered a genuine EINSTEIN product, and as such, it will not be manufactured.
A Story to tell
It was inevitable that Volker Bohlmeier and Katsuaki Ishiyama would cross paths. Both of them had been developing and manufacturing audio equipment in their respective worlds for decades, and they shared an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of material and build quality. Their mutual fascination with the groundbreaking achievements of Fidelity Research sparked ideas for improvement and innovation, culminating in the creation of the Einstein “The Tonearm” – a superlative achievement in tonearm design made possible only by their unique collaboration.

Creditors suing Caesars Entertainment want to force one of the casino operator’s attorneys to explain how the company came to renege on a $7b loan guarantee.
Creditors suing Caesars in Delaware have asked the court to compel attorney Gregory Ezring to testify as to how Caesars Entertainment Corporation (CEC) arrived at its 2014 decision to sell a small piece of its main unit Caesars Entertainment Operating Co (CEOC), which filed for bankruptcy in January.
According to documents obtained by Bloomberg News, junior creditors are looking for info on an April 2014 presentation made to CEC’s board by an attorney who worked with Ezring, whose firm represents Apollo Global Management, one of CEC’s hedge fund owners.
One month after that presentation, CEC sold 5% of its stake in CEOC, a move CEC claims removed the parent company’s responsibility to honor the $7b debt guarantee to junior creditors. These creditors have sued CEC and top Apollo execs in Delaware and New York over the debt reneging and the controversial transfer of profitable assets out of CEOC prior to the bankruptcy filing.
In papers filed with the court handling the suit, CEC said Ezring couldn’t be forced to disclose information regarding the May 2014 presentation due to the info falling under the scope of attorney-client privilege. CEC invoked the same protection for Appllo exec David Sambur, who has acted as the main witness defending CEC’s actions.
But creditors claim Sambur used some of this protected information in a filing with the court defending CEC’s cancellation of the debt guarantee. The creditors say CEC can’t have it both ways, i.e. if CEC can use some of the protected info when it suits their purposes, the creditors are entitled to the same accommodation.
(CEC rival Las Vegas Sands fell victim to the same trap in the wrongful termination suit brought by former Sands China CEO Steve Jacobs. Sands attorneys had argued that certain documents were inadmissible because they couldn’t be transferred to Nevada due to Macau’s data privacy laws, but the judge disagreed after she learned Sands attorneys had already transferred the same data to Nevada so they could vet it in advance.)
CEC rejects the assertion that any of its court filings contained info covered by attorney-client privilege. The parties will argue the point in Delaware Chancery Court later this month.
ASSET TRANSFER INVESTIGATION DELAYS
Over in Illinois, where a different court is handling CEOC’s bankruptcy, the private investigator tasked with examining the legality of those controversial asset transfers has said he won’t be filing his findings any time soon.
In March, US Bankruptcy Judge Benjamin Goldgar appointed former Watergate assistant prosecutor Richard Davis to go through Caesars’ files to determine whether there was any proof of blatant scheming behind the asset transfers. Davis was given until Dec. 15 to present his findings.
This week, Davis said his team was still poring over the 6.4m pages of documents relating to CEC and CEOC. Davis said that many of the documents had only recently been received and that many of the witnesses Davis’ team wants to interview had repeatedly requested delays in sitting for a chat.
Davis said his team will begin discussing his preliminary views with the stakeholders after the Thanksgiving holiday, at which time they will be allowed to contribute more information. Last month, Goldgar approved Caesars’ extension of control over its bankruptcy proceedings by four months until March 15, 2016.

This blog documents the Asian models (male and female) in the fashion media.
Hye seems to be the most prominent of the asian models on the catwalk. I see her at just about every other major show (Cavalli, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga etc).
Yes, Hye has the highest profile right now but she has been working the runways longer than Du Juan or Han Jin. Next season, I think Du Juan will rule and the following season after that, Han Jin.This is the first time I see so many Asian models on the runway. A couple years back, the only Asian model at the shows was Ai Tominaga(2003-2005). And before that, it was Ling (1998-202).
You know, as much as I like Du Juan, I think she was already starting to fade. Last season, she did so many great shows, and this season, she only did a handful in Paris and Milan. It's such a shame :(

In 1989, Samuel Gottesman recorded his oral history testimony with the Center for Holocaust Studies (CHS); CHS merged with the Museum of Jewish Heritage the following year, transferring responsibility to the museum for maintaining the CHS testimonies and making them accessible.
One of our ongoing projects is to briefly summarize testimonies that do not yet have complete transcripts. We use these summaries for research and to include parts of these tales of survival in exhibits, programs, educational materials and in social media. This project, like so many others in the Collections & Exhibitions Department, would not be possible without our dedicated volunteers.
Debbi Portnoy is the volunteer who has been listening to the testimony of Samuel Gottesman, and she is working on the summary. When Debbi and I spoke last week, she told me she was deep into her family’s planning for Passover when she came upon Mr. Gottesman’s mention of Passover in his testimony. The following is extracted from Debbi’s summary:
Samuel Gottesman was born in Irsava, Czechoslovakia, on October 20, 1923. He remembered that before the war Irsava had a total population of approximately 5,000 people, 1500 of whom were Jewish. The Jews lived and owned stores along the main streets and the Christian community lived in the farming area on the outskirts of town. The town had three synagogues and one Jewish cemetery.
Samuel’s father was born near Irsava; his mother was born in Irsava, too, one of nine siblings. Samuel had seven siblings. Their parents were Orthodox and attended synagogue. The family owned a hardware store and a glass-glazing business. He remembers speaking Yiddish at home.
In 1939, after the Munich pact and the German annexation of the Sudetenland in western Czechoslovakia, his town was incorporated into Hungary. He was required to start learning Hungarian and all legal paper work was conducted in Hungarian, but at the beginning he did not feel any repercussions as a Jew in his small town. Eventually the Jewish businesses were turned over to non-Jews, heads of families were sent to labor camps, food became scarce. Deportations began.
By March 1944, the Germans marched into Hungary and took over the government.
Samuel recalls that the first time he saw a German soldier was Pesach evening during synagogue. Prayer service ended quickly and everyone returned home. The holiday of Pesach was destroyed.
By May 1944 the Jews were sent to the Munkacz ghetto. Samuel’s mother spent the night before their deportation baking bread and making rucksacks to carry supplies to the ghetto.
Samuel was sent to the Munkacz ghetto, and eventually to Auschwitz, Gross-Rosen and Bergen-Belsen, where he was liberated in April 1945.
He was sponsored by a relative and secured a place on the SS Marine Perch in April 1947. Samuel settled in Pittsburgh, married in 1954, and he and his wife raised a son.
As we all prepare this week for Passover and the story of the Jews’ exodus from Egypt, as well as the beginning of spring, it is a good time to remember our own stories as well as new stories of exodus, migration, survival, and renewal in new lands.

By definition, viral-associated GNindicates the direct pathogenic relationship between active viral replication and the development of acute GN. This definition is in sharp contrast to the semantic label and pathophysiologic foundation behind postinfectious GN that uniquely develops only during a period of resolved and absent active infection. The primary example of postinfectious GN are the glomerular lesions described after a pharyngeal or cutaneous streptococcal infection and do not represent the clinical or immunologic pattern seen with viralassociated GN. Hepatitis B (HBV) is the most common chronic viral infection in the world affecting >400 million people which is more than double the prevalence of chronic HIV and hepatitis C carriers combined. In addition, 10%–20%ofHBV patientsmay be coinfectedwith hepatitis Cand5%–10%will have coinfectionwith HIV. Being able to distinguish the different types ofGNseenwith each viral infection is essential for the practicing clinician as each virus requires its own specific antiviral therapy. HBV-induced immune complex disease with renal injury lies on one end of the spectrum of disorders that occurs after a prolonged chronic carrier state. On the opposite end of the spectrum are renal diseases that develop from acute or subacute viral infections. One important glomerular lesion in this category is the association of collapsing FSGS with acute active cytomegalovirus, Epstein–Barr virus, and parvovirus B19 infection. The data supporting or disproving this relationship for each of these viruses will be discussed. A second renal manifestation of acute viral infections often occurs with many different sporadic or epidemic infections such as dengue and hantavirus and can lead to a transient proliferative GN that resolves upon viral clearance. The complex interplay of HBV and all viruses with the immune systemprovides conceptual lessons on the pathophysiology of immune complexGN that can be applied to all infection-related renal disease and plays an integral role in developing an approach to therapeutic intervention.

The designer died on December 29 in the British capital
The last farewell to Vivienne Westwood: London dedicates fashion week to her
From Vanessa Redgrave to Helena Bonham Carter and Elle Fanning, from Simon Le Bon to Nick Cave, VIPs and celebrities paid tribute to the famous designer and activist, synonymous with punk rock of the 70s, who never stopped supporting democracy and freedom
On Thursday, February 16, celebrities and fashionistas gathered in London's Southwark Cathedral for the last farewell to fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, who died in December at the age of 81. Wstwood died on December 29, exhausted by an illness that, by her will, had been kept hidden and the funeral took place privately. Today's commemoration of the designer and activist attracted famous names from the worlds of cinema, music and fashion who wanted to bring Vivienne the last farewell. Among others: Vanessa Redgrave and her daughter Joely Richardson, Helena Bonham Carter and Elle Fanning, as well as music stars Simon Le Bon and Nick Cave. Fashion designer Victoria Beckham, models Lily Cole and Kate Moss with her daughter Lila Grace, were among the big names in fashion at the ceremony, along with Westwood's husband and creative partner, Andreas Kronthaler.
Westwood was synonymous with punk rock of the 70s, dressing the Sex Pistols, a rebellion that has remained his hallmark. He has addressed climate change, pollution and his support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on protest T-shirts or banners carried by his models on the runway of his fashion shows. Many guests at his memorial were dressed in his creations, including Scottish designs, his famous towering wedge heels and pirate strap boots. The memorial was held on Thursday 16 February, one day before the start of London Fashion Week, where designers will present their latest collections; the event will last five days and is dedicated to Westwood.


Assemblyman says Common Core Parental Refusal Act needed now more than ever to protect students, parents, educators and schools from “vindictive” state bureaucrats
Assemblyman Jim Tedisco (R,C,I-Glenville) today is calling on New York State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia to stop intimidating New York parents and school districts with threats of pulling funding from schools with high percentages of students who opt out of grades 3-8 Common Core standardized tests -- in essence, telling them to stop trying to “kill the messenger” for their introduction of a flawed system.
On Wednesday, the State Education Department released the results of this year’s Common Core Math and ELA tests and revealed that 20 percent of eligible students statewide refused the tests. In the Capital Region, close to 27.5 percent of students opted out.
“Commissioner Elia should stop bullying New York’s parents and schools because huge numbers of students are opting out of the flawed, developmentally inappropriate Common Core standardized tests. Unless there are real changes made to Common Core, these opt-out numbers will only grow exponentially next year,” said Tedisco.
“Parents have a right to decide their children’s educational futures free of penalty from vindictive state bureaucrats who seem to care more about these over-utilized tests that rob teachers of their innovation as they teach to these tests and children of their love of learning,” said Tedisco.
Tedisco, a former public school special education teacher, is the lead sponsor of the Common Core Parental Refusal Act (A.6025/S.4161), which has bi-partisan support in both houses of the legislature, and would require that school districts notify parents of their rights to refuse without penalty to have their children take the tests. The bill protects students, teachers, administrators and schools from any state retaliation or loss of funding for opting out of the Common Core tests.
“Now more than ever, the legislature needs to codify into law a parent’s right to refuse these tests and ensure they have a voice in their child’s educational futures when opt-out choices are made,” said Tedisco.

BitMart cryptocurrency brokerage was hacked on Saturday night, December 4th. Hackers managed to get around US$196 million in tokens from the platform.
The attack targeted the platform’s hot wallets (internet-connected hot storage wallets), specifically the wallets based on the Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks.
BitMart suffers hacker attack
The company said in a blog post that it is investigating what happened. The platform “identified a large-scale security breach related to one of its Ethereum and BSC wallets.” The text confirmed that about $150 million in funds were lost due to the hack.
“We are continuing to work on identifying possible methods of attack. The affected ETH and BSC portfolios contained a small percentage of our assets; the rest of the wallets remain secure. We are suspending withdrawals until further notice,” said BitMart founder and CEO Sheldon Sia.
Security company identified attack
The attack on the brokerage was first identified by security and data analysis firm Peckshield, which initially identified a suspicious transfer of nearly $100 million. A further investigation by the security team revealed more than $96 million in theft.
According to the security company, hackers have stolen at least 20 cryptocurrencies, including Binance Coin (BNB), Safemoon, BSC-USD and BPaу. Hackers have also stolen a significant amount of memecoins such as BabуDoge, Floki and Moonshot.
Broker initially denied attack
The broker initially denied information about the hack. On the platform’s Telegram channel, users were assured that their funds were safe, and the news about the security issue was called “false”, then the company confirmed the attack and blocked withdrawals.
Brokerage founder and CEO Sheldon Xia then confirmed that the wallets were hacked on Saturday. According to the message posted on your profile. twitter, the loss was US$ 150 million.
The company said the stolen funds are a “small percentage of its assets” and that all other wallets are “safe and untouched”.
“We are conducting a full security review and will post updates as we progress.”
The brokerage has suspended withdrawals and said it will only release it when the situation is resolved.
This Monday (6), Xia confirmed, on Twitter, that the incident was caused by the theft of a private key from two hot wallets (or “hot wallets”, connected to the internet) from BitMart.
“BitMart will use its own money to cover the incident and compensate affected users,” Xia said.
A BitMart address shows a constant stream of tokens for an address titled “BitMart Hacker” in Etherscan.
Through a detailed analysis of the network, security analysts have identified that hackers are using decentralized brokers like 1inch to sell the stolen funds.
Hackers would then have moved the coins to a decentralized protocol that performs private transactions on Ethereum, Tornado Cash.
Hot wallets were the target
There are recurring reports of attacks targeting hot wallets. Thousands of investors have already lost millions in bitcoins after relying on exchanges.
“Not your keys, not your coins”. Remember that phrase forever, if the key isn’t yours, the coins aren’t either. If you don’t have Bitcoin in your wallet then they are mathematically not yours.
Understand what characterizes a hot wallet and what are the best ways to store your satoshis:

This award-winning blog supplements the articles in Hospital Infection Control & Prevention.
Contaminated sinks: Sometimes the solution is part of the problem
January 12th, 2015
A hospital outbreak of Klebsiella oxytoca was linked to contaminated sinks which were used for both hand hygiene and disposal of patient body fluids, investigators reported.
K. oxytoca is primarily a health care–associated pathogen acquired from environmental sources. During October 2006–March 2011, a total of 66 patients in a hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, acquired class A extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing K. oxytoca with 1 of 2 related pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns. New cases continued to occur despite reinforcement of infection control practices, prevalence screening, and contact precautions for colonized/infected patients.
Cultures from hand washing sinks in the intensive care unit yielded K. oxytoca with identical pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns to cultures from the clinical cases. No infections occurred after implementation of sink cleaning 3×/day, sink drain modifications, and an antimicrobial stewardship program. In contrast, a cluster of 4 patients infected with K. oxytoca in a geographically distant medical ward without contaminated sinks was contained with implementation of active screening and contact precautions. Sinks should be considered potential reservoirs for clusters of infection caused by K. oxytoca.
“This outbreak also emphasizes the challenges associated with limited space and sinks in older hospitals,” the authors concluded. “Presumptively, these hand washing sinks became contaminated because they were used for the disposal of body fluids from colonized patients. While this is clearly unacceptable, nurses in the ICU are required to walk past several rooms (and out of isolation rooms) to reach the dirty utility room for disposal of body fluids, an activity that is also associated with risk. As we increasingly recognize the risks associated with hospital water and sinks, the design of ICUs becomes critical for protecting patients from these risks.”


Within multicellular organisms, tissues space organized communities of cells that work-related together to bring out a details function. The exact duty of a organization in one organism counts on what varieties of cell it contains. Because that example, the endothelial tissue that present the human gastrointestinal tract is composed of numerous cell types. Some of these cell absorb nutrients from the cradle contents, whereas others (called goblet cells) secrete a lubricating mucus that helps the components travel smoothly.
You are watching: A group of similar cells that work together will form a(n):
However, the multiple cell types within a organization don"t simply have different functions. They additionally have different transcriptional programs and also may well division at different rates. Ideal regulation of these rates is crucial to tissue maintenance and also repair. The spatial organization of the cells that kind a organization is also main to the tissue"s duty and survival. This company depends in component on polarity, or the orientation of certain cells in their place. That course, external signals from neighboring cells or from the extracellular matrix are likewise important impacts on the plan of cells in a tissue.
Without cell division, irreversible tissue survival would certainly be impossible. Within every tissue, cells are constantly replenishing themselves v the process of division, return the price of turnover may vary widely in between different cell types in the very same tissue. Because that example, in adult mammal brains, neurons hardly ever divide. However, glial cells in the brain continue to divide throughout a mammal"s adult life. Mammalian epithelial cells additionally turn end regularly, generally every couple of days.
Neurons room not the just cells that lose their ability to divide as they mature. In fact, many differentiated cells lose this ability. To aid counteract this loss, tissues preserve stem cells to serve as a reservoir of regardless of whether cells. Stem cells typically have the capacity to tires into numerous different cell types. Transcription components — protein that regulate which genes are transcribed in a cell — show up to be essential to determining the pathway specific stem cells take together they differentiate. For example, both minister absorptive cells and also goblet cells arise indigenous the very same stem cabinet population, but divergent transcriptional programs cause them to mature into dramatically various cells (Figure 1).
Whenever stem cell are dubbed upon to create a particular kind of cell, they undergo an asymmetric cell division. Through asymmetric division, each of the 2 resulting daughter cells has its own unique life course. In this case, among the daughter cells has a finite capacity for cell department and begins to differentiate, conversely, the various other daughter cell stays a stem cabinet with endless proliferative ability.
Figure 1:Transcriptional regulators have the right to act at various stages, and also in various combinations, with the route of cell advance and differentiation.
Transcription factors can turn on at different times throughout cell differentiation. As cells mature and go through various stages (arrows), transcription determinants (colored balls) can act ~ above gene expression and change the cabinet in different ways. This readjust affects the following generation the cells derived from that cell. In subsequent generations, that is the mix of different transcription determinants that can at some point determine cabinet type.

Although most of the organization in adult organisms maintain a constant size, the cells that make up these tissues room constantly transforming over. Therefore, in order for a certain tissue to continue to be the exact same size, its prices of cell death and also cell division must stay in balance.
A range of factors can trigger cell fatality in a tissue. Because that example, the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, selectively gets rid of damaged cell — including those with DNA damage or defective mitochondria. Throughout apoptosis, moving proteases and nucleases are activated, and cells self-destruct. Cells additionally monitor the survival factors and an adverse signals they get from other cells prior to initiating programmed cabinet death. When apoptosis begins, it proceeds quickly, leave behind little fragments v recognizable bits the the atom material. Specialized cells then promptly ingest and degrade this fragments, making proof of apoptosis daunting to detect.
The gut consists of a mixture of identified cells and also stem cells. The (a) intestine, (b) esophagus, and also (c) stomach are shown. Through asymmetric division, quiescent stem cell (d) probably offer rise to more rapidly dividing active stem cells, which then produce progenitor cell while shedding their multipotency and capacity to proliferate. All these progeny cell have identified positions in the various organs. To maintain its function and proceed to produce new stem cells, a stem cabinet can likewise divide into and also produce an ext stem cell at the same position (symmetric division).

Tissue duty depends on much more than cell kind and proper rates of death and also division: that is also a function of cellular arrangement. Both cabinet junctions and also cytoskeletal networks assist stabilize tissue architecture. For instance, the cell that consist of human epithelial tissue attach to one one more through several species of adhesive junctions. Characteristic transmembrane proteins provide the basis for each of the different types of junctions. At these junctions, transmembrane proteins on one cell communicate with similar transmembrane proteins on surrounding cells. Unique adaptor proteins then affix the result assembly to the cytoskeleton of every cell. The many connections formed between junctions and also cytoskeletal proteins successfully produces a network that extends over countless cells, giving mechanical toughness to the epithelium.
The gut endothelium — actually an epithelium that lines the inner surface ar of the digestive street — is wonderful example of these frameworks at work. Here, chop junctions between cells kind a seal that prevents even little molecules and also ions indigenous moving throughout the endothelium. Together a result, the endothelial cell themselves room responsible because that determining i m sorry molecules pass from the gut lumen right into the surrounding tissues. Meanwhile, adherens junctions based on transmembrane cadherin proteins provide mechanical support to the endothelium. This junctions are reinforced by attachment to an extensive array of actin filaments that underlie the apical — or lumen-facing — membrane. These arranged collections the actin filaments also extend right into the microvilli, which are the small fingerlike projections that protrude from the apical membrane into the gut lumen and also increase the surface area available for nutrient absorption. Additional mechanical support originates from desmosomes, which appear as plaque-like frameworks under the cabinet membrane, attached to intermediary filaments. In fact, desmosome-intermediate filament networks extend across multiple cells, providing the endothelium sheetlike properties. In addition, within the gut there space stem cells the guarantee a steady supply of new cells that contribute to the lot of cell species necessary for this complex structure to role properly (Figure 2).
The extracellular procession (ECM) is also critical to tissue structure, because it gives attachment sites for cells and relays information about the spatial position of a cell. The ECM consists of a mixture that proteins and also polysaccharides developed by the endoplasmic reticula and also Golgi apparatuses of nearby cells. Once synthesized, these molecules move to the suitable side of the cabinet — such as the basal or apical challenge — where they are secreted. Final organization the the ECM climate takes place exterior the cell.
To understand how the ECM works, consider the two very different sides of the gut endothelium. One side of this tissue deals with the lumen, where it comes in call with spend food. The other side attaches to a committed ECM support structure dubbed the basal lamina. The basal lamina is created of collagen and laminin proteins, and various various other macromolecules. ~ above this side of the endothelium, adhesive junctions affix cells come the ECM. Transmembrane integrin proteins in the junctions bind components of the ECM and recruit signaling proteins to your cytoplasmic sides. From there, the signals travel to the cell nucleus of every cell.

Tissues are neighborhoods of cells that have actually functions past what any single cell type could accomplish. Healthy tissues call for the appropriate mix of cells, and the cells within them have to be oriented correctly and also dividing at an proper rate. In order come coordinate your function, organization, and rates of death and division, the cell in a tissue are constantly processing and responding to signal from one another and also from the ECM roughly them.


Thailand’s Tourism Ministry reports it will target specific provinces in China in a tourist bubble campaign to attract visitors back to Phuket as travel restrictions are eased.
Minister of Tourism and Sports Pipat Ratchakijprakarn said on Friday his ministry will target specific provinces in China. They will not splash out money launching a tourist campaign across China.
The tourism campaign will target provinces that have Covid-19 under control. According to the Bangkok Post he would not specify which provinces China.
Phuket is being eyed to lead the planned foreign tourism bubble with selected country partners. The Tourism Ministries primary target was China, he said.
“China is the first market with potential, because flying time to Thailand is less than six hours,” Mr Pipat said.
Other markets were South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other southeast Asian countries.
One in every four foreign visitors to Thailand before the pandemic was Chinese, he said.
There were almost 40 million foreign arrivals last year. The Bank of Thailand expects only 8 million this year after Covid-19 grounded tourism in its tracks.
Exodus from Beijing begins
Meanwhile, People rushed to buy train and plane tickets out of China’s capital on Friday. After the local government began easing travel restrictions for the first time since a fresh covid-19 outbreak was discovered in mid-June.
Residents from areas of Beijing designated “low-risk” were allowed to leave the city without having to be tested for Covid-19. Pan Xuhong, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Public Security said strict controls will remain on people from dozens of medium- and high-risk areas.
Within 30 minutes of the announcement, online searches for outbound flights increased. There was a nearly 350% rise in searches for hotel stays in the next two weeks according to Tongcheng Travel.
Qunar, a Chinese travel platform, said plane and train ticket sales more than doubled within an hour. A similar surge in travel demand also occurred in April. When China lowered its emergency response level for the first time since Covid-19 began in January.
Phuket Police confirm alcohol ban
Phuket Police have announced today that the alcohol ban for the major Buddhist religious holidays. Asarnha Bucha and Khao Phansa will be in effect this Sunday and Monday (July 5-6).
The announcement follows the Ministry of Public Health posting their own announcement yesterday. It also corrects dates announced by Cabinet last month when announcing the substitution day public holidays on Monday-Tuesday next week.
The alcohol ban will come into effect “after 24:00 on July 4”, meaning from midnight Saturday night. It will remain in effect “until 24:00 July 6”, meaning midnight on Monday night.
“Anyone caught in violation of the ban faces a fine of up to 10,000 baht, six months imprisonment, or both,” the notice added.
The notice issued by the Phuket Provincial Police also pointed out that it remained illegal to sell alcohol wholesale during the ban.

- Markus Wahlgren at Stora Coop Visby wins Sustainability Initiative of the Year
- Swedish store cuts bread waste in half without impacting sales
The Sustainability Initiative of the Year 2021 award goes to supermarket manager Markus Wahlgren at Stora Coop Visby, for that Swedish retail location’s work in combating bread waste and returns of bread. The prize was awarded at the Grocery Gala on 15 November. Behind the award are Svenska Retursystem and Pantamera.
“I am very honored by the price which shows that we have taken a small but important step to reduce the problems with the extensive bread waste. We now hope that we can inspire even more players to act in the same direction,” says Markus Wahlgren, supermarket manager at Stora Coop Visby.
Every year, just over 80,000 tonnes of bread are thrown away in Sweden. This happens throughout the value chain, ie., in bakeries, grocery stores, restaurants, and households. Bread waste stands out as a large proportion of the bread is thrown away directly in the shops. Coop Visby wanted to investigate whether they could do something about the problem and in just two months they managed to halve their bread loss.
Coop Visby’s activities to reduce bread waste:
- Together with some large bread suppliers, the store works with the visual expression and has installed pictures of bread on the bread shelf to create a feeling of well-filled shelves. Despite a small amount of bread, they still sell just as well.
- In collaboration with a local brewery, the store sells beer made from bread waste and bread baked from the brewery’s leftover malt.
“Food waste, and in this case specifically bread waste, is an important issue for the entire chain. Like Stora Coop Visby, showing the way for the entire grocery industry is an extremely important contribution to a sustainable future food supply,” says Katarina Lundell, communications and marketing manager at Pantamera / Returpack.
“Sustainability and innovation often go hand in hand, and this year’s winners show how you can make a big difference with small means. Stora Coop Visby is a worthy winner and a great inspiration for all the country’s stores,” added Pontus Björkdahl, sustainability manager at Svenska Retursystem.
Reduction of bread waste serves as inspiration
The Sustainability Initiative of the Year award goes this year to something that should really be able to serve as inspiration for the entire grocery industry, the selection jury notes. Initially, many were hesitant, but this year’s winners have succeeded in convincing both suppliers and other stakeholders of the importance of reducing environmental impact. This is done by combating unnecessary wastage and returns of bread and also ensuring that wastage that still occurs is given new life in a “strong” product. This year’s Sustainability Initiative 2021 is awarded to Markus Wahlgren at Stora Coop Visby.

Ex-astronaut Sheikh Muszaphar’s AladdinStreet launches in Singapore
SINGAPORE, Oct 21 — An e-commerce site claiming to be the first in the world to focus on halal-certified products to serve the Muslim market was launched in Singapore today.
The platform called AladdinStreet Singapore has close to 60 merchants, almost half of which are halal-certified.
Products on sale range from halal-certified food, beverage and cosmetics, as well as products that do not require halal certification, such as fashion and furniture.
The launch of the website comes three months after the company opened its Singapore office. It is part of the Aladdin Group that is helmed by Malaysia’s first astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie.
Dr Sheikh Muszaphar said he set up this platform because there is currently “a lack of reliable marketing platforms”, with manufacturers and producers of the halal industry meeting only 20 per cent of the demand for halal products.
He added that there has also been “growing acceptance” of the health benefits of halal products, even in non-Muslim countries.
One merchant that has joined the Singapore platform is Spa Jelita, a ladies-only halal spa. It caters mainly to the Muslim market, so it has a prayer room and uses halal product
Director Fadilah Majid told TODAY: “The business landscape is changing rapidly and with online sales growing we have to be fast to ride this wave before it’s too late.”
Executive director of halal meat supplier Zacmeat Rashid Hassan said: “We believe AladdinStreet Singapore is the first e-commerce platform in Singapore to consolidate and cater to the needs of the Malay and Muslim consumers.
“The variety of products offered, we hope, will see this platform as an aggregator, saving consumers the time and trouble of having to search multiple platforms for the products and brands they want.”
Commenting on the platform’s potential, AladdinStreet Singapore co-founder and president Dr Grace Kong said that it is “not just for Muslims because halal is about making healthier choices for everyone including non-Muslims.
“(Consumers) want to know what they eat, wear, what they apply on their face, where it comes from and how the animals were treated. It’s about cruelty-free, ethical, and sustainable consumption too.”
The site is also looking to launch a halal educational programme targeting merchants to help them better understand halal compliance requirements.
Meanwhile, the Aladdin Group is also looking to expand its footprint in the region, with the launch of its China partner in the pipeline. — TODAY
