Job market paper
High skill cities have become more skilled over time, an increase that has also been accompanied by greater income inequality across space and larger education premiums economy-wide. What economic forces have driven the emergence of these ``smart cities''? Using a structural model of worker migration and human capital accumulation over the life-cycle, I find that increases in the human capital spillovers, big city amenities, and heterogeneity in productivity across space are jointly responsible for the observed phenomenon. Strong complementarity between the changes overcame greater congestion stemming from population growth, giving rise to smart cities.

Each year, World Ocean’s Day is celebrated on 8 June, highlighting the major role that oceans play in providing food, income, and enjoyment for millions of people. This year’s action focus draws global attention on encouraging solutions for a healthy ocean, an effort that CGIAR and our funding partners are actively supporting.
Our oceans capture excess heat and carbon causing global warming, helping to regulate the earth’s temperature. Our oceans also supply half the world’s oxygen, and are home to millions of marine species which provide food and a livelihood to a billion people.
However, our oceans are under intense pressure to keep up these vital functions. Marine wildlife is estimated to have halved in the last 45 years, and our oceans are around 30 per cent more acidic than before the industrial revolution.
Unsustainable fisheries and damage of marine habitats are two of the main drivers of poor ocean health in the Pacific region.
WorldFish, a CGIAR Research Center, and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) have been working to assist Pacific fishers to sustainably manage their coastal fisheries and protect their reef habitat.
Fishing and the development of aquaculture are critical for the food security and livelihoods of small island nations – less fishing is not the answer, we need safer and more sustainable fishing. Fishermen in Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands are now reaping the rewards of FADs – “Fish aggregating devices” which are small man-made structures that float near the coast and attract oceanic fish such as tuna and mackerel. Fishers are able to capture more fish than ever before, without disturbing their delicate natural habitats – the fish now come to them.
Coral reefs protect coastline communities from tropical storms, as well as being a vital source of nutrients for marine wildlife. Australian scientists have discovered that a process akin to IVF for humans can work for coral, encouraging their reproduction in laboratories. The larvae can then be placed back into the ocean to stimulate restoration of damaged reefs.
The Pacific region is also rich in vegetative coastal habitats, such as mangroves and tidal marshes, which are thought to have up to 50 times the power of other ecosystems for capturing carbon. Indonesia alone has three million hectares of mangrove forests lining its 95,000-kilometer coastline. Efforts are now underway to replant 60,000 hectares of degraded mangroves each year in Indonesia, involving up to 200,000 farmers.
Mellissa Wood, General Manager of Global Programs for the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and Elwyn Grainger-Jones, Executive Director of the CGIAR System Organization, have co-authored a story published today by ABC News Australia.
We hope that this World Ocean’s Day is a reminder of the importance of a healthy ocean and the need to ensure that Australia’s and CGIAR’s world-class research in this area gets the support it deserves.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Kristen Simon scored a game-high 20 points to lead three players in double figures for USC, which pulled away for a 64-43 victory over Santa Clara women's basketball on Friday.
Minyon Moore scored 12 points and Aliyah Mazyck added 10 for the Trojans (3-0) who shot 48 percent from the floor and did most of their damage inside.
No Santa Clara player reached double figures in scoring as Morgan McGwire led the way with nine points. Kyla Martin and Ashlyn Herlihy has eight points apiece for the Broncos (1-2) who shot just 32 percent from the field, including 4-for-18 from behind the 3-point line.
Jordan Adams had a game-high eight rebounds helping the Trojans hold a 33-25 edge on the glass. USC scored 40 points in the paint and out-scored Santa Clara 23-11 off turnovers.
The Trojans started to pull away in the second quarter as the Broncos went cold from the floor.
A 10-0 run with five players scoring increased the USC lead to 31-15 late in the second quarter, one in which the Broncos were held to just seven points on 3 of 9 shooting from the field.
After falling behind by more than 20 in the third, Santa Clara rallied in the fourth quarter.
Herlihy hit a runner to cut the deficit to 50-35 with six minutes left, but the Trojans quickly answered as Smith scored in the paint and Adams nailed a 3-pointer.
Santa Clara had 10 steals in the game, led by three from McGwire, but was not able to convert enough of those into points.
The Broncos are playing with a short bench.
"We'll just have to deal with it," head coach Bill Carr said. "We have nine healthy bodies, and we'll get a couple back throughout the year, but we just got to step up, that's the bottom line."
• The teams met for the third time (also in 1979 and 2015) with USC capturing each one.
• Ashlyn Herlihy (eight) eclipsed her point total of the first two games in her career (six).
• Morgan McGwire played a season-high 32 minutes.
• The Broncos recorded double-digit steals (10) for the second time this season. They had 16 in the season opener vs. Fullerton State.
"I thought we started off pretty well, had some good energy, then they made a couple if good runs at us and we got our heads down. We tried to do some things we don't normally do but we shored it up a little bit in the second half, but we certainly have to learn from this if we want to compete in our league. You got to play, and play well as a team.
"We have to step up and play as a team and compete and not get rattled. There's ups and downs in games, but we can't let the downs rattle us so much. I wasn't displeased with our performance. USC is a good team, and an athletic team, and they got some weapons that we just don't see or necessarily have ourselves. So hopefully we can learn from it and we get Northwestern next week Wednesday."
Head coach Bill Carr
After playing their first three games at home, the Broncos head out on the road for a pair next week. They will play at Northwestern on Wednesday and at Illinois-Chicago on Saturday, Nov. 25.


Too often, very viable manufacturing careers are overlooked due to misperceptions about the opportunities available and the lack of understanding of the 21st century manufacturing workplace. As a college focused on preparing students for local careers, LTC would be remiss if we didn't mention the wonderful success stories of those who pursue advanced manufacturing career paths.
Last week, three local outstanding manufacturing employees were recognized as 2014 Manufacturing All-Stars, while one employee was recognized as a 2014 All-Star Mentor by the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance in Green Bay. Travis Knier of Rockline Industries in Sheboygan works as a talent acquisition coordinator for the Sheboygan manufacturer.
Spencer Thiel, an electrical assembler apprentice from Curt Joa in Sheboygan Falls, was recognized as an All-Star, as was Sheila Ecker, an associate engineer from Sargento. Also from Sargento, production supervisor Monica Kleinhans was one of two 2014 Manufacturing All-Star mentors honored. A total of 10 All-Stars between the ages of 18-35 were honored, ranging from employers in Oconto to the Fox Valley and Sheboygan areas.
This recognition is well deserved and we congratulate Travis, Spencer, Sheila and Monica. More importantly, we would like to share a couple of comments from these young achievers. Sheila says the perception that factory work is boring is false and that positions in manufacturing make you think and challenge your mind. Spencer says working with state-of-the-art PLCs and sensors, as well as computer-based technical drawings, suits his interests well. Travis has seen countless people start in entry level positions and move into a number of areas and believes manufacturing provides more growth opportunity than most other industries. Monica says the perception that all manufacturing jobs affect people physically long-term is not accurate and that Sargento and most other manufacturers offer a clean, safe environment.
If you get the chance to meet these Manufacturing All-Stars, ask them yourselves about the high tech and high demand careers that today's manufacturing offers. Manufacturing is not only our history and our roots. It is also our future.

My buddy DJ AtomX asked me if I was going to catch his show on Example FM .NET live this week. It's at 6:00pm on Saturday nights, and since I'm doing homework I was able to catch it live.
I sent him a remix I did a couple years ago of "The Hand That Feeds" by Nine Inch Nails; Trent put the master out in Garage Band format in April of 2005 and I fucked with it. It's only 3 minutes long and I've long since lost the Garage Band project I used to make it.
Lo and behold, Adam remixed it up to about 8 minutes and spun it in tonight's show. We talked after, and both agreed it could use some tweaking, but it was pretty hot to hear my shit live on stupid Internet(s) radio.
I'm downloading the un-fucked original G.B. masters now, and I think I'm going to take another stab at it. Looks like I'm going to be laid up for a few weeks in August, so I'll have time to mix some more shit up.
And it looks like my super-secret DJ name might finally need to come out of hiding.

RINGING IN VALENTINES DAY!!
I removed the lace and rose, putting some of my old lace on it. Cut a heart from cardboard, painted it red,
then glued glas glitter on the whole thing. I had a picture of this little girl, so I cut her out, added wings
from embossed wall paper, and put a metal red metal bell in her hand. She is ringing in Valentines Day!
Then I cut some words out of a 1907 reproduction Sears catalog. Added some tinsel red wire do-dahs to enhance it.
It turned out so lovely I find myself doing a double take when I see it. Has to be that red glass glitter!

We highly recommend Beth and Wayne for your all dog training needs. Together they are a great team and both are very knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, fun to learn from, reliable, and their true goal is to help you and your pet enjoy each other through love, bonding, and teaching your dog good manners.
We love Kay and are so happy to have her working with us on puppy training. She is full of helpful ideas and has been instrumental in teaching each of us (3 teenagers included) how to best train and get the results we are looking for. Each session she brings new information and tools to train with and our puppy just loves her. We are so grateful to have her with us on this journey!
Could not have asked for a better experience with Rogue Foothill Dog Training. The owner Allison's communication was incredible as she sent me daily texts and photo updates of my dog's progress. Their training is effective and I highly recommend for anyone searching for dog training/boarding.
We are still in training...so far so good. We have a difficult dog who needs lots of work. We feel confident that the training will accomplish all of our needs.
Alex is an exceptional trainer. I have a rescue dog that is part wolf and, particularly as he got into his teens, testing boundaries became exhaustive. I started working with Alex to train my dog as a service animal, but what I've come to appreciate most is Alex's teachings around Leading with Respect. Not only do we learn to develop a relationship from a solid foundation of mutual respect (pup & I), but also what leading looks like in the canine world. This covers everything from having a happy and satisfying experience with the pup to training the basics like greeting people and other dogs calmly, not pulling on leash, and patiently waiting where asked until released. While it's been a relief to have someone who can work with us to shift out unwanted behaviors and cement desired ones, it's been a total joy to see my dog change his patterns and know it's because I've learned better ways to work with him. My pup is genuinely happier for it and subsequently a generally well-behaved teen (we regularly get compliments). He's shifted from being terrified of dogs and people to wanting more of both and remembering to listen. Alex always shows up -- present and listening to what's going on. Good days or not he meets us where we're at and tunes in to what's needed. In addition to teaching tangible skills, Alex gets that dog training and life intersect. Learning to lead my dog's pack means playing with learning to lead more in my life. Teaching him to trust me works when I trust myself. Etc. If you just want tips and tricks to train you dog. Alex has you covered. If you want your dog to show up and work with you, Alex can work with you to show up more for yourself and in your life. What sets Alex apart is his genuine enthusiasm for working together to shift everyday patterns. Patterns that feed into what's not working with my dog, what I want for him, and the experiences I want for myself.
Honestly training with Kyli has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Very professional, its obvious she knoes what she's doing, and it's also extremely fun. It's created a bond between my dog and I that I couldn't have even imagined before now. I cannot speak highly enough of my time working with Frontier K-9 Training.
Having a one-on-one dog training routine with Rorie has not only helped my dogs performance but now I understand animal behavior. I now have the knowledge to correct my dog in ways he can understand and realize what I’m asking of him. Every animal is unique and Rorie has the ability to adapt for all needs.
Still working out the details on Siena's training. Looking forward to working more with Emily.
Joanne is an amazing dog trainer! I have known her for almost 20 years as a trainer and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in working with their dog in a positive and fun way. Joanne has a vast knowledge of dogs and various training methods. She is very patient, helpful and has this great ability of seeing what the problem is and how to best address it. Joanne has been active is dog sports for over 20 years and is a great choice for your training needs!
My husband and I got in contact with Patrice to help work with our reactive dog, Alice. We wanted to minimizing some of her behaviors on walks, like barking and lunging at other dogs, buses, trucks, bikes....pretty much anything moving. We also wanted to work on her manners when meeting new people at our house, and barking at things out the window. We appreciated the initial meeting with Patrice where she listened thoroughly to our needs, asked questions to get a better understanding, and prioritize our goals. From there, we scheduled private lessons about once a week, and saw Alice's confidence build. She LOVED Patrice, and because the training was all positive and involved her favorite thing, food, she was a very happy participant and picked up things quickly! After a session, Patrice would send out a very detailed email to summarize our training, clarify our training "homework" for the week, and she was always available to answer questions or help troubleshoot challenges in between sessions, and even check in after we ended our training program to make sure things were still going well. Alice is so much better on walks, even when buses, trucks, or other dogs are in close proximity. It's made our walks pleasant and successful when they used to be stressful. We had a friend visit who took Alice for a walk recently and didn't know we had done training -- she raved about the change in Alice on walks! We were so proud and excited to share that our training had paid off.
I used Rocky Paws for over 5 years. They trained and helped to socialize my dog as well as doing daily walks and boarding her. They are responsible, punctual, kind and loving. I couldn't have asked for better care. I would highly recommend them.
Chrissy was great!! She explained to me the type of training we were going to do and why we were doing them. Then she showed me and my dog how to work together. She is very organized and professional. I would recommend Chrissy to everyone. I have worked with other trainers in the past with other dogs but she by far was the best!!
My dog did two weeks of full immersion training. I absolutely love the progress my dog has made working with Victoria! She took my hyperactive pup and turned him into a well behaved dog. Not only did I love her my dog did too. She taught my dog behavioral manners and the training has allowed me to feel comfortable inviting people in to my house as wells as made me feel more comfortable taking him in public. Since my dog is a medium sized dog, before she worked with him I was afraid to have him around small children and other people because I was afraid he would jump on them and knock him down. Now that he has completed his training program I can trust my dog around children of ages and trust that he will not be a nuisance to people coming into the home. I 100% recommend Victoria and I can't wait to do more training in the future!

Immune Response of Piglets on a PRRSV Vaccination06 May 2015
This work sheds light on the development of the immune system in piglets following vaccination against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV). Three feed additives had no effects on the pigs immune responses.
Selected feed additives were tested with regard to their impact on a vaccination with PRRSV by S. Speiser and others and their paper was published in Livestock Science recently.
They detected cytotoxic T cells and specific interferon γ-producing cells in response to the immunisation but no effect of the feed additives were observed under these conditions.
The study adds information about the development of the piglets’ immune system, the researchers concluded.
The immune response of piglets to a vaccination against the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) was tested after feeding different feed additives.
The trial included four groups of 10 piglets and lasted 39 days.
Feed additives were added to a control diet. Tested substances included:
- an autolysed yeast preparation from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 0.2 per cent
- dried bovine colostrum at 0.9 per cent and
- the probiotic Bacillus cereus var. toyoi NCIMB 40112 at 109 colony-forming units per kg diet.
Three-week-old piglets were vaccinated against PRRS-Virus, blood samples were taken before vaccination and seven, 21 and 35 days after vaccination for complete blood counts, flow cytometry for phenotyping of different lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood, measurement of specific IgG antibodies and ELISpot assay to detect specific interferon γ-producing lymphocytes.
Animal performance was not affected by the experimental diets.
Haematological parameters and complete blood counts displayed time-dependent changes, feed-related effects were not observed.
The analysis of the expressed lymphocyte surface markers showed distinct time-dependent shifts but no dietary effects.
CD4−CD8α+ cells reached highest levels on day 21 post vaccination and decreased thereafter (P=0.037), the CD2+CD5− cells decreased in all groups towards day 35 (P<0.001).
CD2+CD5+ cells were determined at constant levels during the observation period, while CD2−CD5+ decreased at day 21 (P=0.039) and CD4+CD8α? cells decreased over time (P=0.003).
CD4+CD8α+-double positive cells increased age-dependently in all groups (P=0.006) but CD21+ cells and CD14+ cells were not affected by age.
Increasing levels of specific IgG were determined (P<0.001) but group effects could not be demonstrated as for the interferon γ-producing T cells.
The development of the immune system in piglets seems to follow a typical time-dependent pattern, the lack of dietary effects on the immune response in this trial might be due to a balanced diet and appropriate sanitary conditions.
Speiser S., L. Scharek-Tedin, A. Mader, A. Saalmüller, W. Gerner, K. Männer, K. Stadler and J. Zentek. 2015. Immune response of piglets on a PRRSV vaccination &nash; Altered by different feed additives? Livestock Science. 174:96-104.

Sunway promo & writeup in New Sunday Times with details of his promo in Malaysia, so fans there, have a really great time & take lotas pixs ok.
Tao of The Great Leap
Malaysian fans can catch a glimpse of Taiwanese superstar
David Tao who will be in town next week to promote his latest
album titled The Great Leap 2005. SHARON WONG writes.
WHO in their right mind would give up cash that is already well, almost in their pockets with a snap of their fingers? And we are not talking about just RM100 or even RM1,000. The figure involved runs into millions approximately RM7.2 million but that's exactly what Taiwanese R&B maestro David Tao did. Apparently, he was supposed to begin a concert tour in China last year.
Since his successful concerts in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Malaysia, promoters and organisers in China have been clamouring for some of the action and ultimately six shows were finalised and he was supposed to kick off with the first performance in Shanghai on Sept 4.
However, after much consideration, the man finally decided to stop all presses. The reason? To concentrate on his new album.
With his recording company, EMI Music, fully behind him, Tao's fourth album titled The Great Leap 2005 was eventually released worldwide on Jan 21 this year. Never mind that there were other big names also releasing albums around the same time. Nothing could stop the tidal wave that was Taos pre-release orders promotions.
Although orders were only being taken at the selected record stores in Malaysia at 1pm, a long queue was already formed from as early as 10am outside Tower Records, Kuala Lumpur.
Among those waiting patiently were several non-Chinese music lovers as well as some British tourists, who were introduced to Tao's music by their Malaysian friends! The tourists said that although they did not understand the songs, the music was powerful and attractive enough for them to want to get their own copy.
The pre-release orders for the first day alone broke the 8,000 unit mark! Now, Malaysian fans can rejoice for Tao will be in town next week to personally promote the album. Jointly organised by EMI Music and Galaxy Productions and presented by Hotlink, Tao will be arriving in Malaysia on March 15 for numerous promotional activities in several States.
His itinerary begins with live radio interviews with 988 at 8pm on March 15, MYFM at 6pm on March 16 and Kuchings Cats Radio at 4pm on March 17. Tao will also be holding an autograph session in Terminal 1, Seremban at 8pm on March 16. Fans can also catch him in action at the MBKS Indoor Stadium, Kuching at 8pm on March 17, Upper Penang Road, Penang (Next to City Bayview and E&O Hotels) at 8pm on March 18 and Sunway Surf Beach, Selangor at 8pm on March 19.

“The established-up of Douyin Pay is to health supplement the current significant payment possibilities, and to ultimately increase person knowledge on Douyin,” Douyin claimed in a assertion.
People of Douyin, which accumulated 600 million daily lively end users, beforehand could use Ant Group’s Alipay and Tencent Holdings’ WeChat Shell out, the country’s two ubiquitous 3rd-party mobile payment channels, to invest in virtual presents for livestreamers or goods from outlets on the platform.
ByteDance founder and CEO Zhang Yiming constructed up the firm’s payment capability in China by buying Wuhan Hezhong Yibao Technological innovation Co very last calendar year. Hezhong Yibao obtained a third-social gathering payment license from the central financial institution in 2014.
ByteDance has been purchased by the outgoing Trump administration to divest TikTok’s U.S. belongings on countrywide security problems.
The enterprise, which denies the allegation, has been in talks for months with Walmart Inc and Oracle Corp to change these belongings into a new entity.
Douyin is the primary revenue generator for ByteDance. It gives a glimpse of what TikTok could ultimately develop into, as Douyin commenced offering products in 2017 and now operates a increasing e-commerce procedure wherever hundreds of tens of millions of consumers store on a daily basis.
ByteDance’s expansion comes as China’s economic regulators are tightening oversight more than financial know-how corporations, significantly organizations such as Ant Team.
China’s third-social gathering payment sector is dominated by Alipay and WeChat Pay out, with the previous having 55.39% of the total market place in the next quarter of last yr, according to sector researcher Analysys. Other gamers include things like JD.com’s JD Fork out, Baidu Wallet and Meituan Pay.

The Best Instant Ramen Flavors
DaVinci Tortellini, 7 oz (Pack of 12)
Great as a side snack- meal or side dish. Great for school lunches- toddler finger food and in the side with a filet mignon. Boil, sautéed or with sauce- your mouth will enjoy this quick fix.
I have always loved cooking with DaVinci pasta. It turns out great and delicious every time and the tortellini is no exception. I trust this company.
These are great to have on hand when my teenage son needs and wants a snack without too much wait time. These only cost around $2.00 for a box at the grocery store. The small box is deceiving. it makes a lot. I usually split it in half, cook them up (which takes only 5 minutes) and add some veggies like broccoli, carrots and/or cauliflower and mix it all together with a little bit of butter and garlic salt. It is always a pleaser with my son and they are so easy and quick to cook up. I would definitely recommend this product for people who like having quick and easy snacks/meals on hand for hungry kids. As an adult, there are far better tortellini options but they also cost more that $2.00. Kids like it....that is all that matters.
This is the only brand of tortellini I buy. So yummy and creamy and delicious. I use so many recipes for these
Tortellini is one of my favorite pastas and DaVinci's Tortellini pack definitely fits the bill. Easy to cook, goes great with light, cream, or tomato sauces!
Very affordable. Usually feeds large amounts of people. This pasta has always made me and my family happy. It's great with some chicken!
We love these. We keep them in the cupboard for rainy day dinners. They cook in about 8 minutes and taste fantastic with even just butter and parm.
I buy the tortellini pack quite often. It has a nice flavor and stays firm in soups. Ps. It's also delicious in pasta salads.
This dried tortellini is awesome. Shelf stable and easy to prepare. I use in soups and my family loves it.
Great tasting and cheaper than comparable products in the refrigerator section, plus has good shelf life!

What an awesome engine! I like the fireplug styling - nothing light weight looking about it. Now I want one...There was one still used in a saw mill at Picola ,Vic that Parks Victoria closed down and pulled down the old mill which was very historical and had seen 3 generations, but they recon half a dozen trees would look better on site.
That engine is still in the area at Nathalia on a display trailer.
I know his ( ex) son in-law who worked at that mill and his workshop/ open shed has 6 or 7 worn out liners and pistons scattered around as a testament to the work done by it.
Hi yes remove the clutch assembly and remove the fly wheel as well you may bend the crank shaft if you leave it on. If the motor has been under water your going to have your work cut out as the mane Bering's are roller Bering's and they will be rusted solid. Theirs one at cobden at the mill hope to get it going again one day soon.Hi All,
Has anyone got an idea of the weight of an ML with clutch? I have found one on a river bank and if i can purchase it i will need to be well armed with tackle to pull the big bastard out of its hole and get it home.
The engine looks mostly complete and has been under fresh water a few times but I'm hoping its not too bad inside.
I did hear whispers of another "wreck" laying about in the same area, if i come up with anything interesting ill let you know Darryl
There is one in a Sawmill nearby. I have never seen it but was told it was an 70 hp ML , people have tried to get it over the years and they wont part with it, the owners are a bit fond of it apparently.

In every heart transplant manual, post transplant skin care gets heavy emphasis. The transplant recipient must be consistent and diligent with their skin care regimen. It is better to err on the side of caution than risk exposure to the sun. Many of the medicines that post transplant patients use put the patient at risk of skin cancer.
One of the reasons I like Tampa is that just about every day is sunny. Every morning, I would find myself wondering why I lived in the frigid northeast for so long. As gratifying as the Tampa weather is, it is no easy chore protecting one’s skin from the brilliant sun.
At one of the Tampa General post transplant classes, a nurse practitioner spent a good half hour giving us hints about shielding our skin from the sun. She encouraged the use of a 50 level sun block. If we were prone to exercise in the pool, the block should be re-applied after swimming.
I think I did everything possible but I still have contracted numerous pre-cancer cells and one cancer spot that had to be removed. I have become a very regular patient at the dermatologist, who freezes the pre-cancer cells and has determined that I have Rosacea.
Rosacea is a skin disease that concentrates on the face, neck, scalp, chest or shoulders. There is no cure for Rosacea and the exact causes are unknown.
Rosacea can be treated with a topical ointment or by internal prescriptions. Generally, women suffer more facial eruptions but men are prone to contract the most serious cases. Rosacea is most likely to affect men and women with fair skin.
The primary warning signs of Rosacea are:
Flushing – Fair skinned individuals who often blush are likely to notice that the blushing slows as the skin color intensifies into what appears to be a sunburn that never goes away.
- Pimples – Concentrated areas of bumps or pus-filled pimples that resemble acne appear and become more noticeable in time.
- Visible blood vessels – In severe cases, small blood vessels become noticeable on the skin.
Side Effects of Rosacea
- Rosacea sufferers can notice eye discomfort and watering. Eyelids can become red and swollen. If Rosacea is untreated, the cornea can become damaged and loss of vision has occurred.
- Burning or Stinging – The patient’s face is often sore to the touch but can also yield the sensation of itchiness.
- D ry Skin – At the center of the facial outbreak, the skin can appear to be very dry.
- Plaques – Plaques are raised, red patches that erupt without causing damage to the surrounding skin.
- Skin Thickening – The skin appears to enlarge, especially is areas of the nose.
- Swelling – Facial swelling, also known as edema, can take place in the absence of any other symptoms.
A meeting of 17 international experts identified 4 subtypes of Rosacesa.
- Subtype 1 – symptoms are flushing, persistent redness and visible blood vessels.
- Subtype 2 – symptoms are persistent redness accompanied by bumps and pimples.
- Subtype 3 – distinguished by thickening skin and an enlarging of the nose.
- Subtype 4 – symptoms that affect the eyes. This can include swollen eyelids, recurrent styes that can affect the cornea.
As mentioned, there is no known cure for Rosacea. By maintaining a diary, sufferers may identify factors that contribute to the outbreak of Rosacea. This enables the patient to make lifestyle changes.
In my case, I think I had Rosacea symptoms prior to the heart transplant. My dermatologist doubts that possibility. With a compromised immune system, anything is possible. In considering the emphasis of necessary skin hygiene and the exposure the skin has to everything, I suppose this is one more setback I can attribute to the transplant medicines.

When it comes to last-minute splurges on concert tickets, Adele takes the crown, dethroning Taylor Swift as the artist with the priciest hot seat for her remaining Las Vegas residency shows. According to Gametime, a platform specializing in last-minute ticket sales, fans were shelling out an average of $1,011 to catch Adele live in Sin City, compared to $958 for a seat at Taylor’s record-breaking Eras Tour.
It’s a surprising twist, considering Taylor’s Eras Tour dominated the Billboard charts as the highest-grossing tour of 2023, raking in a staggering $323 million. But Adele’s residency, dubbed Weekends with Adele, has proven to be an irresistible siren song for die-hard fans, willing to pay top dollar for a glimpse of the British singing sensation.
So, what’s driving the stratospheric ticket prices for Adele’s Vegas shows? Several factors come into play:
- Limited Availability: With only a handful of performances left before the residency concludes in March 2024, the scarcity factor is driving up demand and prices.
- Exclusive Experience: Adele’s Vegas show is more than just a concert; it’s an intimate and immersive experience, featuring a stripped-down setlist and close-up encounters with the singer.
- High Production Value: The residency boasts a lavish stage design, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, and a live orchestra, justifying the premium ticket price.
- Adele’s Star Power: As one of the world’s best-selling and most critically acclaimed artists, Adele’s live performances are highly sought-after, attracting die-hard fans willing to pay top dollar for the chance to see her live.
While Adele may hold the top spot for last-minute ticket prices, the concert industry as a whole is experiencing a surge in demand and skyrocketing ticket costs. This can be attributed to several factors, including pent-up demand following pandemic restrictions, a rise in disposable income, and the increasing popularity of live music experiences.
Whether you’re an Adele superfan or a casual concertgoer, there’s no denying the allure of a live show. And while a last-minute splurge on pricey tickets may not be for everyone, it’s a testament to the enduring power of music and the unique magic that unfolds when artists and fans come together in a shared space.

I know what you mean. The only problem as of late for me is that the only game type I like (Wingman) is impossible to find a game of most times. It is the only game type for me that does not start lagging like a B. Wingman is the only game-type that functions properly on Gears 2. But I haven't played for a while, so when I get back on, I hope I will be able to find games for WM.

While Akira Kurosawa’s status as the greatest director of all time is debatable, we’re all agreed that Seven Samurai is the best movie ever made, right? Good, I’m glad we got that all squared away.
Akira Kurosawa was born 103 years ago today. A few short months later, in August of 1910, the University Branch of the Seattle Public Library opened in its current location. These two events alone are why 1910 is universally recognized as the greatest year in history. To celebrate Kurosawa, the branch is displaying films from the artist’s oeuvre, so come on by and pick up a copy of Ran or High and Low.
If you are interested in filling in any gaps in your Kurosawa film knowledge but cannot make it over to 98105, feel free to place a hold on some of these titles in the catalog. Or if you’re interested in diving deeper, check out Kurosawa’s memoir Something Like an Autobiography (not the best title of a great director’s autobiography, but close) or the recently departed Donald Richie’s fantastic The Films of Akira Kurosawa.

text: Thorough review by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has resulted in classifying many substances, including pharmaceuticals, as probably or possibly carcinogenic to humans, based on experiments on animals or limited data on humans. We evaluated 9 such pharmaceuticals for evidence of carcinogenicity in patients receiving them in a large medical care program with automated pharmacy records and a cancer registry. Nested case-control analyses were performed in a cohort of 6.5 million subscribers with up to 12 years of follow-up, focusing on cancer sites suggested by previous evidence and other sites with odds ratio of at least 1.50, p < 0.01 and some evidence of dose-response. Unmeasured confounding was estimated in sensitivity analyses. We found some supportive evidence for carcinogenicity of griseofulvin, metronidazole and phenytoin and for the known carcinogen, cyclophosphamide, which was added for validation of our data and analyses. Findings for chloramphenicol, iron-dextran complex, phenoxybenzamine and phenobarbital were essentially non-contributory. Confounding by cigarette smoking and prior thyroid disease could account, respectively, for associations of oxazepam with lung cancer and propylthiouracil with thyroid cancer. Although not definitive, these findings should be considered in the evaluations of these pharmaceuticals.


Vineland resident Mark Melamed is fighting cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, but is still positive and upbeat. / Staff photo/Craig Matthews
VINELAND — Sitting at the front of Veterans Memorial Intermediate School auditorium, a sweat-shirt clad director holds court.
A boisterous Mark Melamed simultaneously scolded his young actors who forgot their scripts while launching into rehearsal of the opening musical number of this year’s show, “Happy Days.”
As usual, multitasking Melamed is producing yet another fall production pulling together students of all four Vineland intermediate schools.
What’s not usual this time — he’s doing it while battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Despite getting a dire diagnosis in August, Melamed said he never doubted the show would go on.
“That’s what I love to do and it makes me happy to be there,” he said, during a recent interview at his home.
Melamed is taking his doctors’ advice.
“They told me to live my life, don’t stop doing things and that’s what I’m doing,” he said, fighting the cancer attacking his body with his trademark wide smile, laughter and hope.
But, he said, the thought of cancer has rattled around in the back of his mind ever since he went to get his medical test results and the doctor said, “It’s not good.”
After returning home in August from a summer vacation, Melamed grew more aware of pressure in his stomach. It interrupted his sleep and became downright uncomfortable.
Within two weeks of seeking medical attention, Melamed was facing Philadelphia oncologists reviewing scans highlighting a mass on his pancreas.
“My doctors, Doom and Gloom, told me how long I have and they said they were just going to try and manage it,” he said.
His expected life expectancy?
“A year and half,” Melamed said, matter of factly.
That timeline didn’t mesh with Melamed’s schedule. There was much to do with school plays and overseeing the Gabriel Project, his nonprofit organization that provides critical medical care to children around the world.
“When they tell you something like that, my first thought was, ‘But you’re just doctors, you are not God — only God can know when it’s my time,” Melamed said. “They were good people, I just didn’t like their approach.”
So he did what any seasoned director would do. Melamed “auditioned” doctors for a life-saving role.
There was no changing the diagnosis but, Melamed said, he wanted to find doctors who were willing to give him a fighting chance and found that at Cancer Treatment Centers of America in Philadelphia.
They are treating him head to toe, Melamed said, even addressing the sensitive topic of nutrition.
“My diet is horrible, I’ve changed it thanks to these parents. They are all coming here, bringing things and making me drink all this stuff,” he said. “I’ve had wheat bread for the first time in my life, two days ago.”
His doctors instruct him to eat healthy 85 percent of the time and the other 15 percent of the time he can eat what he wants — in moderation.
“I’m allowed my two hotdogs on the weekends,” Melamed said.
His friends are filling his kitchen counters with plates of healthy, hopefully tempting, dishes.
“I had to drink carrot juice,” he said, pulling a sour face. “I went to the Maplewood for dinner and ordered green beans. I had two.”
The healthy diet is paying off. He’s lost 51 pounds that has helped him manage his diabetes and relieved some pressure on his ever-aching knees.
Melamed began chemotherapy on Sept. 10. Three days later, he oversaw play auditions. And just a week into treatment doctors said the one thing he was waiting for — “There is hope.”
“That’s all I needed to hear,” Melamed said. “I danced Thursday night teaching three dance numbers. It was wonderful.” He said he will have five more chemotherapy treatments, one every two weeks. Friends are signed up to take him to each treatment.
“I’ve been so amazed by the amount of people who have sent cards, who bring meals, who have offered to clean for me, or take care of the dogs,” he said. His good friend, Anita English, told him, “You’ve helped so many, you have to let us help you.”
Support is pouring in from teaching colleagues, theater fans, parents, former students and even the children in Africa, who were the recipients of Gabriel Project’s care.
“I wasn’t fortunate enough to get married or have my own kids — all of you people are my family and taking care of me,” he said. “Prayers are keeping me strong. I really think that God is listening.”


Multivariable Control of a Continuous Culture

This control loop was coupled with ammonium control using an on-line ammonia electrode suspended above a pH-adjusted sample stream from the fermentor. The dilution rate of the culture was the sum of the two individual feed rates. The advantages and implications of multivariable feedback control in continuous fermentation are discussed.

In his first direct public comments on the crisis for nearly six weeks, Putin showed no sign of backing down from security demands that the West has called non-starters and a possible excuse to launch an invasion, which Moscow denies.
"It's already clear now ... that fundamental Russian concerns were ignored," Putin said on Tuesday at a news conference with the visiting prime minister of Hungary, one of several NATO leaders trying to intercede with him as the crisis has intensified, Reuters wrote.
Putin described a potential future scenario in which Ukraine was admitted to NATO.
"Let's imagine Ukraine is a NATO member and starts these military operations. Are we supposed to go to war with the NATO bloc? Has anyone given that any thought? Apparently not," he said.
Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border and Western countries say Moscow may be planning to invade. Russia denies this but has said it could take unspecified military action unless its security demands are met.
The Kremlin wants the West to respect a 1999 agreement that no country can strengthen its own security at the expense of others, which it considers at the heart of the crisis, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
He raised the charter signed in Istanbul by members of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, which includes the United States and Canada, during a call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Lavrov said Blinken accepted the need to discuss the matter further.
Putin’s remarks on Tuesday reflected a world view in which Russia needs to defend itself from an aggressive and hostile United States. Washington is not primarily concerned with Ukraine's security, but with containing Russia, Putin said.
"In this sense, Ukraine itself is just an instrument to achieve this goal," he said.
"This can be done in different ways, by drawing us into some kind of armed conflict and, with the help of their allies in Europe, forcing the introduction against us of those harsh sanctions they are talking about now in the U.S."
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he believed after his talks with Putin that there was room for a compromise.
"I got convinced today that the existing differences in positions can be bridged and it is possible to sign an agreement that would guarantee peace, guarantee Russia's security and is acceptable for NATO member states as well," Orban said.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told France 2 Television on Wednesday there were no indications at this stage to suggest that Russia was ready to take action in Ukraine.

This book by one of the best known and liked authors and educators in western herbalism today is a cornucopia of information that every herbalist as well as interested lay persons should have on their shelf. However, it is more than a mere compilation of sources. David Hoffmann has a progressive outlook, and justifies his book to the reader on several grounds.
Hoffmann argues that the unprecedented increase in information , fuelled by advances in computerisation and the global accessibility afforded by on line communications, is itself a radical and active force transforming the traditional patterns and culture of healthcare. The relationship between an “expert” physician and their patient is being replaced by a “colloborative” paradigm in which practitioners are enlisted by clients to assist them in defining their own path from among the many possibilities, towards their individual medical or health goal. It is the awareness of these choices and options amongst the population at large that has been faciltated by the information revolution.
Hoffmann points out that those drawn to herbalism often get their information from the selective marketing and promotional material of herbal product companies and emphasises the need for people in the United States to be aware of the huge variety and importance of native american medicinal plants. He argues that the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry effectively prevent people from making knowledgeable and informed decisions , and that both those who wish to self-medicate with herbs, as well as their “legal guardians” must inform themselves about the facts and issues involved.
As justifications for producing the book, these arguments may be debated by some. Personally, I would need no justification for buying this book other than its comprehensive and detailed coverage of sources of phytotheraputic information, together with practical advice on how they can best be utilised. Turning now to the main contents of the book – there are four sections.
The bibliographic sources listed are comprehensive, and range from handy sources of out-of-print books on herbalism through to FDA publications. Some treasures are included – like the little known Lloyd Library in Cincinnati – which is the finest collection of its kind in the world. There are ommissions – particularly in Asian and Oriental herbal systems, but Hoffmann himself notes quite reasonably that as a herbalist trained in western phytothery, he is not qualified to attempt an in depth coverage of sources for Chinese or Ayervedic herbal information.
A major section of the book is devoted to ” On-Line resources”. Here, Hoffmann has been more selective, focussing a large section of the book on the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. He illustrates clearly how to use PaperChase – a commercial third party interface for MEDLINE – for interactive searching of the huge database. He includes a glossary of MeSH terms and there are useful tips for PaperChase users such as his suggestion of creating “custom list” that includes all MEDLINE’s generic references to medicinal herbs in a Boolean algorithm (SUM Plants, Extracts + Plants,medicinal + Medicine, herbal + Drugs, Chinese Herbal) to ensure all possible sources are searched). It should have beenmade clear however that for individual subcribers, especially in the USA, PaperChase, although convenient, is not the cheapest means of accessing MEDLINE which can now be accessed from several web sites free of charge – a relevant consideration for herbalists and others not enjoying institutional subsidies for their research. Hoffmann also includes 60 pages of MEDLINE citations on various individual plant Genera, and this alone repays the cost of the book !
Hoffmann includes brief reference to NAPRALERT, Professor Farnsworth’s invaluable database, and perhaps could have included more information on using this resource. A major omission from his discussion of on-line resources is the absence of any listing of Internet resources. This would of course have been difficult given the production schedules of the book publishing industry, since Internet resources are notoriously volatile, but the fact is that the Internet is now a major on line resource for the medical community, and there is a real need for a guide to these resources oriented toward herbalists. Several recent articles in herbal journals have covered this area – Hoffmann is undoubtedly correct in emphasising the importance of electronic resopurces for herbalists, traditionally a dispersed community.
Finally the book contains a useful glossary of herbal medical and pharmacological terms. As with any plant list, there are necessarily omissions and inconsistencies. For example in his listing of herbs by Latin and English names Hoffmann omits several plants that are specific to the regional floras of the United States, despite his arguing for a re-evaluation of these important botanicals. For example, the Ginseng related Opoplanax horridum – Devils Club, and many interesting species of the North and South West floras are absent altogether. In other cases he gives the official European species eg Valeriana officianalis, rather than listing any of the native American species. It is perhaps a pity that Hoffmann, an British ex-patriot, did not include more specifically European sources in general in the book. This nonetheless does not detract from its usefulness to herbalists everywhere – a welcome and useful publication.

Witnesses have been urged to come forward after a “shocking unprovoked” attack on a young boy in Stamford Hill.
An eight-year-old has been left “traumatised” and required treatment in hospital after the incident, which has been reported to the police.
The Met Police told Jewish News they were called just after 7.30pm on Monday after an eight-year-old boy was assaulted in Stamford Hill..
They say the eight-year-old boy was approached from behind and punched in the chest, before being taken by his parents to hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries. No arrests, have been made, but they urge witnesses to contact them.
In a series of posts on Twitter, Orthodox neighbourhood watch group Shomrim reported that the unnamed boy “ran home & up all the stairs before collapsing. He was crying and couldn’t talk for the next 4.5 hours” following the attack.
Shomrim said that after being treated by volunteer ambulance service Hatzolah, the boy was “taken to hospital due to swelling and marks near his chest, neck, shoulder and face” .
The group added: “ The young boy described how a white man wearing gloves attacked him from behind, pushed him to the wall and beat him severely ”.
Calling it a “ shocking incident”, the group said it was supporting him and his family, as well as assisting with the investigation.
It added: “The boy escaped after 2 people came to his rescue & chased away the suspect. These are vital witnesses, we urge them to call 101 immediately”. The incident took place on Dunsmure Road, in Stamford Hill.
Speaking to Jewish News, Shaye Gluck from Stamford Hill Shomrim said: “This was a vicious attack on a young boy in broad daylight on a very busy residential street.
“This attack has affected this young boys life severely. He keeps on having flashbacks and goes into shock mode where he loses his speech again.
“It is unacceptable that children can no longer walk home from school safely.
“Shomrim volunteers have increased patrols in the local area and are scouring through hours of CCTV.”

Puppies explore the world through their mouths, so they’ll chew anything they can sink their teeth into. By providing them with toys that indulge their teething instincts, you’re more likely to spare your shoes and socks from destruction.
During a puppy’s period of rapid development, from 2-months-old to 10-months-old, it’s important to give them appropriate toys, and both breed and personality can play a role in what toys might become your pup’s favorites. If your puppy bursts with energy and enjoys a challenge, they’ll love a toy that they can play with, or one that dispenses treats. While some pups like to snuggle up with a soft toy, others may toss it around the room and tear it to shreds.

Natural gas-fired generating capacity is expected to rise by 11.2 gigawatts in 2017 and by 25.4 gigawatts in 2018, according to U.S. Energy Information Administration. If the plants start operating as planned, net generation capacity from natural gas would rise to its highest level since 2005. Total natural gas generating capacity would increase 8% by 2018, compared to the end of 2016.
“Depending on the timing and utilization of these plants, the new additions could help natural gas maintain its status as the primary energy source for power generation, even if natural gas prices rise moderately,” according to EIA. The planned capacity expansion comes after five years of net reductions in coal-fired power generating capacity. Coal-fired capacity fell 15% to about 47.2 gigawatts between 2011 and 2016. The electricity industry has retired some coal-fired generators and converted others to run on natural gas as a result of environmental regulations and the low cost of natural gas. According to the most recent data, the cost of natural gas for power generators fell 13% to $2.78 per million British thermal unit, from $3.23 per million Btu in 2015.
Many of the gas-fired plants under construction are in Mid-Atlantic states and Texas, where most of the major natural gas shale plays are located. Production from these shale formations is one of the top reasons natural gas prices have remained low.
The expansion of natural gas pipelines has also led to the increase in natural gas-fired generating capacity.
Natural gas prices are expected to increase this year and in 2018, according to EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook. This might lead developers to delay or cancel some of the projects to build the plants. The plants are being built quickly. As of October 2016, construction had yet to start on more than half of the natural gas-fired generation capacity set to start in 2017 and 2018.

Trigger Warning: This post contains slurs and epithets used against the LGBTQ+ community.
The American Library Association describes its values as the following:
- Education and Lifelong Learning
- Intellectual Freedom
- The Public Good
- Social Responsibility
Social responsibility was the one that caught my attention immediately. To me, it describes the role that libraries play in the recording and passing down of history, and therefore influencing our very perception of the past.
“ALA recognizes its broad social responsibilities. The broad social responsibilities of the American Library Association are defined in terms of the contribution that librarianship can make in ameliorating or solving the critical problems of society; support for efforts to help inform and educate the people of the United States on these problems and to encourage them to examine the many views on and the facts regarding each problem; and the willingness of ALA to take a position on current critical issues with the relationship to libraries and library service set forth in the position statement.”ALA Core Values of Librarianship
I think the statement above defining Social Responsibility for the ALA hits the major point of education, but lacks a critical factor of a librarian’s job — context. As librarians and archivists, it is important that we provide historical context when archiving materials. Archival materials are often taken out of their original settings and re-contextualized to fit a modern schema. This creates a disconnect between the actual origins and can alter perceptions of events, peoples, and histories.
For example, this is an excerpt from a 1979 edition of the Florida Flambeau. This edition includes stories and interviews of LGBTQ+ individuals in the Tallahassee area. It also features “A Gay Glossary” with translations for queer slang, including words like faggot, queen, and closet-case. Here, context is vital, because while these words were reclaimed and used among queer and trans people, they were slurs and epithets used against them first. These are terms used within the community because of the shared experience and would be incredibly inappropriate and flat-out offensive for those outside the LGBTQ+ community to use.
Vocabulary and culture are constantly changing, and I argue that as archivists and librarians, it is our job to adapt with it. In order to be a socially responsible institution, we should update our resources to reflect the facts available to us. Just like scientists, who update their research as new discoveries come about, as we learn how certain terms can be damaging, outdated, and just plainly incorrect, we should address that in our records as well.
How do we contextualize these terms in a way that makes sense historically? How do we make that information accessible to library users? How do we handle potentially triggering materials and vocabulary? These are the questions that should be at the forefront of our minds as librarians and archivists, especially when handling materials from other cultures and communities.
