Soap is a basic cleansing agent composed of long chain fatty acid alkali salts with a pH of between 9 and 10.
As it is well known that the surface of the skin is slightly acidic, the pH of the soap is significant to maintain the acid mantle of the skin. (Very pH?) causes an increase in skin pH, which in turn causes increased dehydration, irritability and alters the bacterial flora.
Types of soaps :
Glycerin bars/ Transparent bars- contains humectant-glycerine to counter the drying effects of soap. Used on dry skin or during cold weather.
Moisturising soaps/ Superfatted soaps- contains greater amounts of lipids such as triglycerides, lanolin, paraffin, stearic acid, or mineral oils which provide a protective film on the skin.
Antibacterial soaps- contain antibacterial agents such as triclosan, triclocarban, or carbanile to inhibit the growth of bacteria and thereby odor.
Syndet (synthetic detergent) bars- have a nonsoap synthetic surfactant such as fatty acid isothionates, sulfosuccinic acid esters as their principal ingredient. These are neutral or slightly acidic pH. They are less irritating to the skin and do not form a soap scum layer.
There some ingredients which are used to help some specific conditions.
Coal tar soap might be helpful in reducing scaling, itching, and inflammation. It has a few side effects, although exactly how it works isn’t clear.
Colloidal oatmeal is a natural ingredient used in the formulation of a range of
personal care products for relief of skin dryness and itchiness.
Glutathione soaps are used for skin lightening purposes.
Benzoyl peroxide(BPO) containing soaps reduce counts of Propionibacterium acnes, thus reducing the emergence of antibiotic-resistant P acnes strains. Effective for facial and truncal acne Vulgaris.
Ketaconazole/ fluconazole soaps are helpful along with other treatments for tinea versicolor and seborrhoea.
Cureka has a soap to offer for every special need.

LEAP program aims to solarize Charlottesville
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Homeowners now have an opportunity to install solar panels for about 20% below market rates.
The Local Energy Alliance Program is launching Solarize Charlottesville in an effort to help people save on their electric bills.
“It’s an annual program that really helps to make going solar easier and more affordable for homeowners,” Program Director Katie VanLangen said.
It costs between $10,000 to $25,000 to install solar panels. VanLangen says footing that bill can save you money down the road.
“Folks are going to be purchasing the panels for themselves. What we do is we contact installers and installers apply to be a part of the program before it gets started. They submit proposals and we’re able to give a discounted pricing because we have so many people signing up,” VanLangen said.
She says solar panels have helped lower her Dominion Energy bill.
“My last two electric bills have been, I think, the first one was $7 and the second one was $4,” VanLangen said. “Any excess power that is generated is also credited back to your account. So in the Winter when you don’t have quite a sunny day or a sunny week, you’re able to use that excess energy that you might have produced on a really sunny day to power your system in the future.”
The last day to sign up for Solarize Charlottesville is June 30.

Losing friends after becoming a widow can happen for a variety of reasons, and it’s a common experience for many people who have lost a spouse. Here are a few potential reasons why this might be happening:
1. Change in Social Dynamics: When a person becomes a widow, the social dynamics within their friend group can change. Some friends may not know how to interact with a grieving widow, and this can lead to decreased communication and interaction.
2. Emotional Distance: Grief can be difficult for both the person experiencing it and their friends. Some friends may feel emotionally overwhelmed by the situation and may withdraw as a result. They may not know how to support you through your grief and may unintentionally distance themselves.
3. Lifestyle Changes: Your lifestyle may have changed significantly after becoming a widow, and this can impact your friendships. If you’re no longer able to participate in activities or social events as you did when your spouse was alive, some friends may find it challenging to relate to your new circumstances.
4. Different Perspectives on Grief: People have different ways of dealing with grief, and some friends may not understand or be comfortable with your grieving process. This can lead to misunderstandings and strain on the friendship.
It’s important to remember that these changes in your friendships are not a reflection of your worth as a person. Grief can be a complex and challenging experience, and it can impact relationships in unexpected ways. While it’s natural to feel hurt by the loss of these friendships, it’s also an opportunity to connect with people who are able to provide the support and understanding you need during this difficult time.
Seeking out support groups, counseling, or other resources for widows can also be helpful in finding understanding and empathetic connections with others who have experienced similar loss. Remember that it’s okay to prioritize your own well-being and seek out relationships that support you during this challenging time.

(from today’s Health Policy Hub)
A negative court decision this week underscores the importance of passing federal legislation to ban ‘pay-for-delay’ settlements in order to preserve access to affordable, quality prescription drug benefits. At issue is the drug industry practice of paying off generic competitors of expensive brand-name drugs to delay access to low-cost generics.
On Tuesday, the Second Circuit issued a decision on the legality of pay-for-delay settlements concerning the drug Cipro that dealt a blow to consumer advocates and consumer protection attorneys challenging these collusive agreements in court. The decision rebuffed the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice, and a group of State Attorneys-General, all of whom asked the Court to re-evaluate an earlier precedent from 2005 that allowed such ‘pay-for-delay’ settlements. For more background on the legal aspects of this issue, read this earlier blog by our Prescription Access Litigation project.
While the attorneys ponder whether to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, the importance of a legislative solution to this problem becomes even clearer.
Current legislation before the U.S. Senate proposed by Senators Herb Kohl (D-WI) and Richard Durbin (D-IL) would create a presumption that any drug patent settlement that exchanges a payment in return for an agreement to delay bringing a generic to the market is a violation of anti-trust law. The bill gives the FTC the tools to challenge such settlements. However, it still allows the drug companies to prove that a settlement is not a collusive agreement, but a legitimate effort to avoid the time and costs of litigation…
If a robust, competitive market is to play a role in our new health care system, shielding nearly 10 percent of all annual brand-name drug sales from market competition will only allow drug company price increases to continue depleting more and more of our health care resources, while putting more patient care at risk.

Almost every four days, a police officer in Trinidad and Tobago has been shot at in the last five years.
This was according to Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith as he responded to criticisms of the police amid recent claims of extra-judicial killings.
“In the last five years, there have been 527 occasions where police have been shot at in the last 60 months. You’re speaking about less than every four days, a police officer is shot at. But that is not a concern apparently. Or that over 5,000 citizens have been killed in the last 12 years, not by police officers.”
Griffith also questioned claims that police had killed a man in Carapo although no evidence had been presented that police had been involved.
“Not one person has sent video footage, not one person has a photograph. Not one person knows the license plate of the vehicle but they claim that everyone, that many people were there and everyone knew it was police. They said that the individuals who saw the incident of the killing in Carapo, the reason why they knew it was police was because they look like police,” he said.
Griffith also responded to the Movement for Social Justice’s call for body cameras to be used, as he clarified that body cameras had indeed been in use by police, with about 180 cameras currently being utilised.
However, the Commissioner and Police Strategic Adviser Dwight Andrews again highlighted that body cameras still had limits with regard to its use.
He said because of the limitations he pushed for the use of live video footage from patrol cars.
“The police vehicles the emergency police vehicles there are 100 cameras that are actually on the vehicles and the reason I want to mention this, is that this actually provides a greater degree of information being passed on to the public.”
During the press conference police unveiled a brand new online crime reporting platform, which they hope would reduce concerns over leaked reports and increase confidence in reporting crimes to the police.

Alternative fueled vehicles are gaining renewed interest with the abundance of cheap, domestic natural gas. Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles took off in the 1990s as infrastructure development surged. Service stations then declined for a decade but are now resurging. Liquefied natural gas and ethanol are other options, as is a new clean fuel called GDiesel, a combination of conventional diesel and natural gas that can be used on conventional diesel engines without modifications.

Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with U.S. Venture Partners (USVP) and raised our Series A round of $6.33 million, to connect more patients to the right care and the best healthcare outcomes quickly.
We founded Luma Health three and a half years ago on the idea that it’s hard for patients to get in the front door of their doctor’s office. Patients wait three, four, up to five weeks for an appointment, yet most clinics have anywhere from a 10 – 25% cancellation and no show rate.
Whether it’s getting in the front door, coming back for follow up care, or getting a referral scheduled, there are gaps in a patient’s care that we want to fix in order to improve healthcare outcomes.
When we started, that’s the problem we aimed to fix — match patients waiting for care with unused capacity in the clinic. As we spent more time with clinics and patients, we came to learn that there are disconnects throughout a patient’s entire healthcare journey, preventing patients and providers from getting connecting and starting that journey. What patients and clinics were doing just wasn’t working.
Whether it’s getting in the front door, or getting a referral scheduled, or coming back for follow up care, or knowing what to do before or after a procedure — all of these lead to gaps in the patient’s care pathway and healthcare experience. From the clinic’s perspective, connecting with the patient is labor intensive, prone to error, and often left to chance.
Here’s a look at some simple patient engagement campaigns that promote essential care and high-dollar procedures to help fill both care gaps and revenue gaps.
So we’re excited to partner with USVP to accelerate our own journey as we continue building Luma to address all these issues and more — focusing on connecting more patients to more care. For us, raising money is a waypoint in a long path to helping patients feel tied to their doctors and care team. With USVP, we’ve found a partner with the same long-term commitment we have.
Finally, thank you to all of our mentors, investors, advisors, partners, friends, and family who have pushed us forward with their honesty and support since our first days together. We’re excited to continue on this journey and achieve our shared vision.

DETROIT - As thousands gear up for this year's Detroit Free Press TCF Marathon, there will be a familiar face among the runners - at least among Detroit news media.
"I never thought I could do something like this. I never thought I'd be able to lose this kind of weight. I never thought I'd be able to exercise like this," said Jackie Page, a WWJ News anchor. "I never thought I was capable of any of this."
A former Fox 2 News personality and current anchor on WWJ News, Jackie Paige will run the half marathon on Sunday. While Paige's mission has always been to lose weight, this race represents another personal goal.
"I just want to cross the finish line. I'd like to do it in pretty good time as well," said Page.
Along with the Lion's game, this weekend will be a nightmare for any travelers to the motor city. It's a big race.
"We have 20,000 runners embarking on city of Detroit," said Barbara Bennage, a former race director.
Keep in mind, however, while the race starts in the morning, road closures will be coming much earlier.
"We begin to close the Lodge down going southbound at the I-75 Interchange at 3 a.m. in the morning," Bennage said. "The Detroit Windsor Tunnel will close at 6:45 a.m. and open at 10 a.m., but a lot of roads are closed. We take up about 20 miles of roads in Detroit."
For people watching or participating in the race, you may wonder where will I park. Well, there's an app for that.
"We suggest using Spot Hero. It's an app that you can download and so we have plenty of parking spots on Spot Hero that they can (use) outside of the race," said Bennage.
Organizers say plans are in place to keep everyone safe and they encourage people to use the race to experience a day of fun in Detroit

The reader will also be asked to share in the mental activity of the author and in the particular experience of the nun in her cell. Because the poem is a dream, the reader is inside the nun's mind and in her cell. In the poem, the mind is turned away from the senses (the moon, the birds, the distant bells), to look inward in meditation. In order to undertake this mental journey, the reader must learn to understand, in the first place, the syntactic syntax of Sor Juana's poem. This is what makes her dream so difficult: Sor Juana's fundamental motivation for making her dream is to see what she is seeing at the time she is dreaming, before she wakes up. She does this by subordinating multiple clauses and parenthetical expressions to make a single sentence, the first sentence of her dream. Here is the first sentence of Sor Juana's Sueno, followed by a non-scientific paraphrase of it in prose: The mind in Sor Juana's dream is turning away from the senses, from the moon, the birds, the distant bells: THE SYNTAX AND VERSIFICATION OF A DREAM (1) A pyramidal, funereal shadow born of the earth was aiming toward the sky its lofty point of vain obelisks, attempting to reach the stars, but the stars' lovely lights, always free and sparkling, so distantly evaded the dark war which with black vapors was being declared against the sky by the fearsome, fleeing shadow that the latter's dark frown did not even reach the upper convex surface of the sphere of that goddess who shows herself to be thrice beautiful with three beautiful faces, and the shadow was left to dominate only the air which it besmirched with the dense breath that it exhaled, and, satisfied with the quietness of its silent empire, it permitted only the submissive cries of nocturnal birds, so dark and heavy that the silence was not broken.

I am a natural light photographer based out of Knoxville, TN, and willing to travel anywhere your love story may take me.
I started photographing full time in 2011 and love being a small part of such a big day in your life.
As your photographer, I will hold your hands, wipe away your tears ( of joy, hopefully), and make you feel as comfortable as possible so you can focus on living in that moment. The best pictures are the ones that are the most natural - the ones that are captured in-between poses. These are the memories I will create for you to cherish for years to come.
I've met some amazing couples and look forward to working with even more!

My husband and I had a destination wedding at the Magnolia in Pigeon Forge, TN on 10/28/18. We were given a list of photographers that have worked at our venue before, and Heather's name was on the list. We viewed her pictures on her website and were already thrilled to have found such a talented photographer, in a reasonable price range. Since we lived far away, we were not able to do an engagement session with Heather, which most photographers recommend as to make your wedding day go with ease. We were nervous and filled with emotion, but Heather immediately made us both feel comfortable, directed us as needed, and allowed us to act as we would naturally. Our "first look" session is one I will never forget, and I truly valued having that time before the wedding with my husband. Heather helped make that moment very special for us! We couldn't be happier with our photographs and would highly recommend Heather Faulkner Photography to any couple!Sent on 01/14/2019

|Online gambling in the Philippines is at risk in the ongoing battle between Sports and Games Entertainment Corp. (SAGE) and the country’s Supreme Court. SAGE has asked the court to reverse its ruling that negated the authority of Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) to operate sports betting kiosks and Internet gambling. SAGE had an agreement with Pagcor to operate the Internet gambling and the kiosks, but whether this was a sub-contract or a license is one of the key issues. |
SAGE said that the Court was wrong to withdraw the authority granted by Pagcor to SAGE in 1998 without looking into the nature of the agreement “which is in accord with the conferred powers to Pagcor by virtue of Presidential Decree 1869.
SAGE said it has already spent P500 million on equipment and hardware and software for the network. The company said that should the Supreme Court refuse to reconsider its previous ruling, foreign suppliers, investors and over 350 employees would lose out.
SAGE said the Court was wrong in its conclusion that Pagcor “shared” its franchise when it allowed SAGE to operate gaming on the Internet. It argues also that Pagcor is authorized under Presidential Decree 1869 to make such agreements, and that there is nothing in its charter to prohibit this.
SAGE added that the agreement had clearance from the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel and approval of the Office of the President. Pagcor is still legally the operator, SAGE said.
Should the Supreme Courts decision to withdraw Pacgor’s authority to make such agreements, it would create a precedent with Pacgor already having issued grants of authority to other sports betting and online gaming groups.
The Court ruled that the grant of authority that Pagcor issued to SAGE effectively gave SAGE the opportunity to “actively participate, partake and share” Pagcor’s franchise to operate gambling activity” which is in violation of its charter.
The Court emphasized that the Pagcor’s franchise is valid only for Pagcor.
The case began with a petition filed by Sen. Robert Jaworski Sr., chair of the Senate Committee on Games, Amusement and Sports, in 2001, seeking to declare null and void the grant of authority by Pagcor in favor of SAGE.

UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has threatened to take legal action against Mpika District Commissioner, Moses Katebe for engineering the cancellation of his paid for radio programme on Mpika Radio yesterday.
Yesterday, Mr. Katebe allegedly ordered Mpika Community Radio Station not to host Mr. Hichilema on a paid for program in unexplained circumstances, forcing the station to refund the money paid by the opposition leader.
Last evening, Mr. Hichilema took to social media to complain against the decision by the DC saying his party was denied its right to engage with the people of Muchinga Province.
He says he is consulting with his legal team to understand which powers Mr. Katebe used and how the party can proceed to correct his behaviour.
“We have been denied our right of expression to talk to our people in Muchinga Province through a paid for program on Mpika Radio by the PF through their DC, Moses Katebe, a civil servant. We are consulting our legal team to understand which powers he used and how we will proceed to correct this behaviour.
“In the meantime, abena Muchinga mwisakamana we will soon get back to you. Mulibantu besu. Nga bena Zambia, you have the right to listen to your leaders and anyone stopping us interacting with you on radio does not love you,” Mr. Hichilema said.

It seems like nobody has been enjoying life in quarantine more than Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara.
Just few a months days after Ciara announced that she was pregnant with the couple’s second child together — and later showed off her baby bump in an excellent attempt at the Toosie Slide with Wilson — Ciara and Wilson held a gender reveal party to announce that they are having a boy.
In a video posted to Twitter on Tuesday, Wilson and Ciara fired off a couple confetti cannons with 5-year-old Future Jr. (Ciara’s son from a past relationship) and 2-year-old Sienna Princess (the couple’s first child) present for the gender reveal.
It’s a boy!
But wait for the dance at the end … we all need to experience that kind of joy right now.[jwplayer 6V0nN9Yz-q2aasYxh]

Easy Way to Clean Silver Jewelry
January 26, 2012 by Stephanie O'Dea
I’m not that much of a girly girl, but am realizing that I can get away with wearing the same plain shirt and jeans quite often if I switch up my jewelry. Recently, my friend Jennifer’s (yes, I realize ALL my friends are named Jennifer..) mom started selling jewelry, which means I’ve started to buy more pieces.
I love my new jewelry, but find that real silver tarnishes much too quick for my liking, and I stop wearing it completely after a few months. After a bit of googling, I discovered the quickest and easiest way to wash it all at once to remove the tarnish: a salt water bath with aluminum foil. The hot water and salt loosens the dirt and grime, while the aluminum foil attracts the tarnish (for the super-geeky, this is an ion exchange), and it then wipes away from the jewelry (or silver pieces) easily with a soft towel.
I would not use this method to clean jewelry with precious stones. All the stones I dropped in the solution were made from glass.
tarnished silver jewelry, silver pieces (flatware, etc) (I also threw in a hammered copper pendant, which cleaned beautifully)
1 tablespoon table salt
glass container or jar
Fill a glass jar or container with hot water, and stir in a tablespoon of table salt. Make sure the salt has dissolved completely, and throw in a few (I did three) 1-inch aluminum foil strips. Add jewelry. Let soak for a few hours, stirring every so often to remove dirt (the water will get brownish in color).
This worked much better than I expected it to– the dirt and tarnish just wiped away with the towel. I found some of my really badly tarnished chains needed to soak longer, but they still were ready to go in a few hours. I only wish I was gutsy enough to tie the crockpot in with this one…

Supreme Court Justice suggests social media companies be regulated
The legal world is eagerly dissecting the latest court opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas, who indicated the time may be coming when the court could have to start telling services like Facebook, Twitter, and Google what they can and cannot do.
Former state Attorney General Rob McKenna joined Seattle’s Morning News to help explain what Justice Thomas said.
“He basically said that the big social media platforms like Twitter have too much power and should be subject to regulation as common carriers, the way the telegraph companies were, beginning in the 1800s, and the way that the telephone companies are,” McKenna said. “He’s saying that the big social media platforms are so important that they should not have that much control over people’s ability to communicate, as was evident from Twitter’s decision to permanently ban Donald Trump from their platform.”
This is a concurrence that Justice Thomas wrote in connection with the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss a lower court ruling that former President Trump had violated the First Amendment rights of critical who responded to some of his tweets.
“The court, second Circuit, held he violated their First Amendment rights by blocking them from replying or responding to his posts,” McKenna explained. “And the lower court said Twitter, because it’s being used by the president, is essentially a public forum, and as a public forum, people cannot be excluded. You can’t exclude people from the the town square, so to speak, when it becomes a town square.”
“Justice Thomas concurred in the dismissal of that lower court ruling. The case was mooted when President Trump lost the election and left office,” he continued. “So the Department of Justice moved to dismiss the case where they had been arguing that President Trump had a right to block people from Twitter because it was his personal account.”
Justice Thomas is taking the opportunity to weigh in on the question of whether or not social media companies should be allowed to have this much unregulated power.
“And that’s what has everyone’s attention because they’re wondering whether Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act might be reinterpreted to cause liability for companies that ban people or remove content,” McKenna said. “But I think more than that, because that’s really a minority view that Section 230 can be interpreted that way, I think they see it as an encouragement to legislators in Congress in particular, to start regulating social media platforms as common carriers.”

CVE-2022-3924: named configured to answer from stale cache may terminate unexpectedly at recursive-clients soft quota
Document version: 2.0
Posting date: 25 January 2023
Program impacted: BIND 9
- 9.16.12 -> 9.16.36
- 9.18.0 -> 9.18.10
- 9.19.0 -> 9.19.8
BIND Supported Preview Edition
- 9.16.12-S1 -> 9.16.36-S1
(The flaw exists in the implementation of the
stale-answer-client-timeout option, which was first effectively introduced in BIND 9.16.12 and BIND 9.16.12-S1. That option is also configurable in BIND 9.11.33-S1 and newer BIND 9.11-S versions, but it is always replaced with 0 in all BIND 9.11.x-S1 releases.)
This issue can affect BIND 9 resolvers with
stale-answer-enable yes; that also make use of the option
stale-answer-client-timeout, configured with a value greater than zero.
If the resolver receives many queries that require recursion, there will be a corresponding increase in the number of clients that are waiting for recursion to complete. If there are sufficient clients already waiting when a new client query is received so that it is necessary to SERVFAIL the longest waiting client (see BIND 9 ARM
recursive-clients limit and soft quota), then it is possible for a race to occur between providing a stale answer to this older client and sending an early timeout SERVFAIL, which may cause an assertion failure.
By sending specific queries to the resolver, an attacker can cause
named to crash.
CVSS Score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
For more information on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and to obtain your specific environmental score please visit: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss/v3-calculator?vector=AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H&version=3.1.
stale-answer-client-timeout entirely or setting the timeout value to zero prevents the problem.
It is not possible to disable the limit on
recursive-clients, though it could be set to a very high value in order to reduce the likelihood of encountering this scenario. However, this is not recommended as the limit on recursive clients is important for preventing exhaustion of server resources.

Pests invading your home can be a nuisance if not dealt with properly. Often, pests are animals which cause damage to agriculture by feeding on crops or behave like parasites by attaching themselves to other living organisms and causing them bodily harm. An organism can also be considered to be a pest if it damages a wildlife ecosystem or is a carrier of germs which harm humans like rats and fleas which cause plagues in a human environment, mosquito which cause malaria and ticks, which live in human hair, can cause Lyme disease. To help control all sorts of pest, pesticides (chemical or biological) are used. They can protect human, plant and animal life from all sorts of vermin, rodents and pests.
There are several ways in which pest control can be done. These methods are –
• Usage of biological pest control
• Usage of mechanical pest control
• Pest control using physical methods
• Breeding ground elimination
• Using of poisoned bait
• Burning of fields
• Hunting of pests and rodents
• Setting out traps
• Using pesticides
• Introduction of hot steam into soil
• Infected plants destruction
• Use of repellents
• Rodent control naturally.
Getting rid of home pests can be a breeze, if you do it properly or a nightmare, if it gets out of hands and it is too late to start taking control. There are a few tips which you can employ yourself which are as follows –
• Identify the type of pests you are dealing with. If you don’t know what you are going up against, the methods you use cannot be effective properly.
• If pests are found, check to see the source of it. If they are ants, it probably means that there are some sugary substances around.
• A messy environment is a breeding ground for pests. So, clean your house regularly and prevent infestation.
• Store old clothes and linens in sealed plastic bags or boxes to prevent rats from eating them and breeding in the warmth of the clothes.
• You can prevent a cockroach infestation by sealing up the places from which they come out of. You can use weather stripping or caulk.
• Long term storage food items should be placed in refrigerators.
• If you are unsure about what type of insecticides to be used, then contact a pest control company for further advice.
• From time to time, polish wooden doors and furniture and apply termite control to prevent damage from termite invasion.
• If it is the monsoon season, then during every week or so, cleans out the places which can accumulate water like old tires, empty containers lying around, etc., as these are the perfect natural habitat for mosquitos to breed in.
If you are doing any sort of pest control Noida for the first time, then take the help of professional and expert exterminators. They will help you with all sort of pest invasion and help you in prevention against further pest damage. Some the pest control services also offer additional services like spraying of insecticides around your home, blocking out holes on mud from where snakes and other rodents might come out, etc. They are the best at what they do for you.

A British photographer takes beautiful photos of almost extinct animals. He gives you an opportunity to take a last look at these creatures before they become extinct. Tim Flach is also the author of a project titled “Endangered.” He spent two years traveling the world to take amazing pictures of exotic animals that may soon become extinct.
Flach says that he wanted to show how humans connect with their wild counterparts in this project. Unfortunately, so many people may never have the opportunity to see such endangered animals in their lifetime. So many factors are preventing this from happening including pollution, climate change, destruction of animal habitat and deforestation. If such issues are not addressed urgently, pictures will be all that is left of these wonderful creatures.
We think it is an excellent way to draw attention to the problem. See some of his amazing photographs below:

Moore River - Regans Ford
Basin : Moore-Hill rivers
Catchment : Moore River
The condition of the Moore River - Regans Ford site (site code: MR81MOOR1) in the middle catchment of the Moore River, was assessed between 25 and 26 February 2019, over a 100-m length of stream. The site was previously assessed between 23 and 24 October 2008 under site code: MR-18.
The assessment was conducted using standard methods from the South West Index of River Condition. Measures chosen for this assessment included fish and crayfish, aquatic habitat, water quality (dissolved oxygen and temperature logged over 24h, and electrical conductivity, pH, colour, alkalinity, turbidity and nutrients), fringing vegetation, channel morphology, erosion, connectivity, local land use and flow.
An online condition summary for the 2019 assessment has not been prepared. Please contact the Departments River Science team for site information, and see below for links to information on some of the species found at the site, and some images taken in February 2019
In 2008 the site was assessed as part of a national assessment of river condition – view report here.
Fish and crayfish
Seven fish, including one exotic species were found in February 2019. No crayfish species were found.
In October 2008, six fish and two crayfish species were found at this site, with no exotics. The species found were blue-spot goby, freshwater cobbler, nightfish, south-western goby, western pygmy perch and western hardyhead, gilgie and smooth marron.
Although exotic fish were found in 2019, but none in 2008, only two individual Eastern gambusia (Gambusia holbrooki) were collected in 2019.
A list of species is provided at the bottom of the page, click on the images to learn more about each species.
Note: only fish and crayfish are targeted by sampling methods, however where other species were caught and/or observed they are included below.

DAVOS, Switzerland—Italy and Britain will face U.S. tariffs if they proceed with a tax on digital companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Facebook Inc., U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin warned.
Mr. Mnuchin issued the warning after France agreed to delay the imposition of its own digital tax in the face of threats of steep U.S. tariffs on French exports. Mr. Mnuchin said French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to hold off on the tax through the end of the year while the two countries work out a permanent resolution.

American Express Hops On NFC Bandwagon With “Serve”
With all the recent talk about Citigroup and Mastercard joining the Near-Field Communications revolution, American Express has come to join the service. Amex has launched an official financial transactions service called Serve. The technology is currently only available in the United States but is expected to be “served” abroad in the coming year.
According to Yahoo, Dan Schulman, VP of American Express Enterprise Growth said “Serve is a new type of payment platform that isn’t tied to a single card or mobile operating system…We intend to quickly revolve the Serve platform by adding new features and functionality as we learn from consumer and merchant experiences.” Serve applications are currently available to iPhones and Google Android phones.
The neat thing about Serve accounts is that not only can they be tied to bank accounts and payment cards, but they can also send money through peer-to-peer transactions between Serve users. In essence, this would allow you to be in a marketplace at any moment and at anytime. American Express has also made clear that Serve can be used to pay for bills wherever American Express cards are accepted. Serve was built upon the technology from the online financial network, Revolution Money, during American Express’ $300 million acquisition in 2010.

Thanks to his upcoming Nike training sneaker and flex-worthy moments like rocking fragment x Jordan 1s on stage, Kevin Hart's stock is rising quickly with sneakerheads. Still, despite the buzz, there are some kicks that still elude the comedian to this very day.
Vogue recently caught up with Hart to talk all things footwear and asked him which sneakers he's having trouble tracking down.
"The [Air Jordan X] OVOs," Hart said, going to to explain that he does own a pair of the coveted "White" OVO XIIs. "They just came out in black and Drake is being a jerk. I don't like to use my relationships to get them, but I'm going to have to get those."
While Hart's info isn't 100 percent accurate — the "Black" OVO x Jordan Xs actually haven't released to the public yet — we have to give him some serious props for keeping it real and admitting that he might need to put in a call for these.
As for his entire collection, Hart estimates that he's up to around 500 or 600 pairs, although there was a moment when he was rocking a pair of "Red October" Yeezy IIs that he had to step back and look at the big picture.
"A lot of people didn't know they glow in the dark. The red sole clashes with the sneaker, and one night when I wore them I saw the red glow," Hart said. "I was 35 and saying, 'Did you see my sneaks glowing?' That's when I had to re-evaluate what's important."
You can read the whole profile over at Vogue now.

In early April, manufacturing activity in the US was on the rise, but producers were increasingly struggling to obtain raw materials and other resources as the economic recovery boosted domestic demand.
News company IHS Markit said its US manufacturing PMI rose to 60.6 in the first half of this month. It was the highest since the start of the streak in May 2007, after a final reading of 59.1 in March.
Economists had forecast the index would rise to 60.5 in early April. A reading above 50 indicates growth in manufacturing, which accounts for 11.9% of the US economy.
More than half of American adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A third of the US adult population is fully vaccinated, as are 26% of the general population.
This, together with the $ 1.9 trillion White House proposed COVID-19 bailout package, has spurred broader economic participation, freeing up pent-up demand.
“The US economy has a solid start to the second quarter and is operating at full throttle as loosening virus restrictions, impressive vaccine rollouts, better outlook and stimulus have all boosted demand,” said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at IHS Markit. …
But high demand is pushing supply constraints. The pandemic, now in its second year, has disrupted factories and their suppliers, creating shortages that drive up the prices of raw materials and other resources.
Measurement of prices paid by manufacturers, according to research by IHS Markit, jumped to the highest level since July 2008. Higher raw material prices were attributed to an acute shortage of suppliers and a marked increase in transport costs.
The continuing rise in production costs is one of many factors that are expected to push inflation above the Federal Reserve’s inflation target of 2% this year. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell expressed confidence that supply chains will adapt and become more efficient, as well as prevent high prices from persisting for a long period.
Raw material shortages are most evident in the automotive industry, where a global shortage of semiconductors has led to production cuts in car assembly plants. According to IHS Market, supply shortages were leading to work in progress “not seen in more than seven years.”
IHS’s new orders increased and factories increased their hiring as a result.
The performance improvement also affected the service sector, which was disproportionately affected by the pandemic. The preliminary IHS Markit PMI in the services sector jumped to 63.1, the highest level since the start of the series in October 2009, from a final reading of 60.4.
Growth in the services sector, which accounts for more than two-thirds of US economic activity, was driven by stronger customer demand and the reopening of many businesses amid easing restrictions.
The growth in manufacturing and services has boosted overall business activity. The composite PMI, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, rose to 62.2. It was also the highest since the start of the series in October 2009, and stood at 59.7 in March.

Anna Monzel, AFR PhD candidate at the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) of the University of Luxembourg has received a ‘Young Researcher Prize’ from UK company Lush. The researcher, funded by the FNR’s AFR scheme, was awarded the prize for the development of a three-dimensional cell culture model of the human midbrain.
The Lush Prize is awarded in various categories, but in general the prize is awarded for efforts towards eliminating animal testing from the future of researchers and industry, and it is endowed with a 10,000 GBP prize. This is the second year in a row that the awardees include a researcher from the University’s LCSB: In 2016, Pranjul Shah also won a prize in the Young Researcher category.
Future aims to use model to study Parkinson’s disease
About her research, Anna said:
“The human brain is an immensely complex structure and understanding its developmental processes and neurological disorders remains a challenge.
“Animal models have been traditionally used to study developmental neurogenesis and disease pathology in the brain. However, they do not recapitulate many key features of the human brain so there is an obvious need for human in vitro models that replace animal testing and can help to understand disease mechanisms.
“We have recently developed a method to turn human pluripotent stem cells derived from skin samples into 3D brain-like structures that behave very similar to cells in the human midbrain. These so-called organoids represent an artificial tissue-like structure with typical midbrain-specific cell types that can even transmit and process signals.
“In the future we aim at using this model to study the causes of Parkinson’s disease, a severe neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than 5 million people worldwide. With this model we can elucidate the effects of environmental impacts such as pollutants on the onset of the disease. We hope that our organoid systems will lead to the identification of new compounds that could possibly relieve the symptoms of Parkinson’s or to even cure the disease from its very cause.”
The Developmental and Cellular Biology Groupand its collaboration partners published their results in the journal Stem Cell Reports: “Derivation of human midbrain-specific organoids from neuroepithelial stem cells”

The project was funded by the FNR in the scope of the programmes CORE and AFR, by the University of Luxembourg, by JPND Research, and by the European Union in the scope of the H2020 project SysMedPD.


With improved fuel economy on its agenda, Nissan has stripped some 302 pounds from its 2012 Versa, updated its continuously variable transmission, put in a smaller engine and added some aerodynamics.
The result? The 2014 Versa Note hatchback with continuously variable transmission is rated at 35 miles per gallon combined city/highway fuel economy, 31 miles per gallon city and 40 miles per gallon highway.
Nissan senior manager of product planning John Curl says in addition to an overall weight loss, this latest Versa is powered by a small four-cylinder engine (1.6-liter versus a 1.8-liter in its 2012 counterpart) with dual fuel injection.
“Dual port-injected fuel injection is very unusual,” Curl says. “It creates smaller droplets of gas for a more efficient burn.”
And because the smaller, lighter engine is more efficient, Nissan could downsize the fuel tank on the Note, saving space and, presumably, weight.
Curl says the improved continuously variable transmission, which has been available on the Versa sedan beginning with the 2012 model year, is smaller and lighter than the former CVT in the Versa. It features a wider gear ratio, smaller pulleys and a design change that has reduced pulley friction by 30 percent.
The U.S. was among the first markets to get the dual fuel-injected engines, he says. The Note has been available in other regions including Japan prior to its U.S. debut about a month ago.
Baffles ahead of the fuel tank, air deflectors at the front tires and taillights with air vents have improved the car’s aerodynamics. An active grille shutter to increase airflow over and under the car is available for the 2014 Versa Note.
As for the weight loss, Curl suggests that lighter cars can be more maneuverable and fun to drive. Especially past filling stations.

A structure (as a tower) with a powerful light that gives a continous or intermittent signal to navigators.
A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire, and used as an aid to navigation for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.
Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, safe entries to harbors, and can also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and replacement by modern electronic navigational devices.


Why did India merely flirt with nuclear weapons in the 1960s and 1970s only to emerge as a nuclear power in the 1990s? Although a variety of factors informed India's prolonged restraint and subsequent breakthrough, new evidence indicates that India's “nuclear odyssey” can be understood as a function of Indian leaders' ability to secure their country through nonmilitary means, particularly implicit nuclear umbrellas and international institutions. In the 1960s and 1970s, India was relatively successful in this regard as it sought and received implicit support from the superpowers against China. This success, in turn, made acquiring the bomb a less pressing question. At the end of the Cold War, however, nonmilitary measures ceased to be viable for India. In the late 1980s, waning Soviet support and the failure of Rajiv Gandhi's diplomatic initiatives led to the creation of India's de facto nuclear arsenal. In the 1990s, India developed a more overt capability, not simply because the pro-bomb Bharatiya Janata Party came to power, but also because its external backing had vanished and because its efforts to improve its security through diplomacy proved unsuccessful.


The final chapter to “The Walking Dead” game series by Telltale Games will be coming August 10th where choices made by players will determine how the story’s main protagonist, Clementine’s chapter in “The Walking Dead” universe will end.
