For steam mains drainage, the condensate load for each drain trap is typically 1% of the steam capacity of the main based on drain points at 50 m intervals, and with good insulation. For most drain points, sizing the trap to pass twice the running load at the working pressure (minus any backpressure) will allow it to cope with the start-up load.


There are different models of the atom that have been improved and changed over the years.
Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin metal foil. The result of Rutherford's experiment concluded that most of the atom's mass is concentrated in a small region and that the nucleus is positively charged because it repels alpha particles.
Alpha decay, beta decay and gamma radiation are used in smoke alarms, thickness control and radioactive tracers respectively. Alpha radiation has a short range but highly ionising, the opposite is true for gamma radiation.
Nuclear radius can be measured using high energy electron diffraction (which is more accurate) or the distance of cloest approach which equates the kinetic enegry of an alpha particle to the electric potential energy between the alpha particle and the nucleus.

How many carbs are in Cheesecake Factory low carb cheesecake?
Unfortunately, all of the desserts at The Cheesecake Factory are too high in carbs for a low carb or keto diet, including the “low-licious” cheesecake. While lower in carbs than the standard cheesecake, it still contains 37 grams of total carbs (30 grams of net carbs) per serving.
Is Philadelphia cream cheese low carb?
This is a keto favorite, thanks to its nutritional profile: Per the USDA, 1 oz contains 84 calories, 8 g of fat, 1 g of carbs, and 2 g of protein.
How do you sweeten a cheesecake without sugar?
If you cannot find Lakanto or another brand of monkfruit sweetener, you can use any powder sugar substitute in a 1:1 ratio. You can add an extract for a different flavor variation. You can fold in fresh fruit, nut butter, or chocolate sauce for a swirl throughout the cheesecake.
What can I snack on with no carbs?
So what counts as a no–carb snack?
- Essentially all meat (chicken, beef, pork, lamb, etc.)
- Fish (salmon and tuna are delicious options)
- Most cheeses.
- Tea or coffee without adding milk or sugar.
- Greens, radishes, cucumbers, herbs, and celery.
What food have no carbs?
Food and drinks allowed on a no–carb diet include meat, fish, eggs, cheese, butter, oils, water, and plain coffee or tea. If you’re less stringent, you can also eat nuts, seeds, non-starchy vegetables, and high-fat fruits like avocado and coconut since these foods are low in net carbs.
Is celery high in carbs?
Celery. Celery is extremely low in digestible carbs. A one-cup (101-gram) serving of chopped celery contains 3 grams of carbs, 2 of which are fiber.
Are pickles low carb?
Pickles are made from cucumbers, which are naturally low in carbs. However, some varieties include large amounts of added sugar, which increases their carb content.
Can I eat unlimited pickles on keto?
Are cucumbers Keto?
Can You Eat Pickles on Keto? Yes — as long as you don’t eat excessive amounts, pickles are a perfect low-carb, keto-friendly snack to hold you over until your next meal. Just be careful when choosing store-bought brands, as some products contain added sugars.
Can you eat popcorn on keto?
Cucumber is also suitable for the keto diet, as its carb content is just 3.63 g per 100 g. To make the carb content lower, a person can peel the cucumber before eating it.
Can you eat peanut butter on keto?
Popcorn can easily fit into a keto diet with a daily limit of 50 grams of net carbs and can even be included in more restrictive versions of the keto diet. Not to mention, if you‘re following a keto diet to lose weight, popcorn only has 90 calories per serving.
Is cheese popcorn Keto-friendly?
What snacks are Keto?
If you eat it in moderation, peanut butter is a keto-friendly and healthy snack to add to your keto diet. The standard ketogenic diet requires you to keep net carb consumption under 50 grams per day.
What can I eat unlimited on keto?
Is popcorn keto? Because 5 grams of net carbs is pretty low, popcorn can definitely fit into a keto diet, says Rizzo. “It’s a healthy whole-grain snack that is low in carbs,” she says.

Looking back to last week, here are the results.
Friday night, Stewart Friesen was at the Michigan International Speedway with his No. 52 Toyota Tundra. Unfortunately, Friesen’s luck with the truck series did not get any better. An accident on lap 50 made for a short night. After a quick visit to the infield care center, Friesen was cleared and then he flew home and spent Saturday riding the lawn mower to help relieve some of his frustration.
Even with Friesen being in Michigan, his No. 44 Halmer modified was in the feature on Friday at Albany-Saratoga Speedway. Wife Jessica was driving it on this night.
The 35-lap modified feature was won by Matt DeLorenzo. This was his first win in over a year at the Malta oval. Marc Johnson finished second, followed by Danny Varin, Rocky Warner and Ronnie Johnson. Jessica did not have a great night, but she did hang on to keep Stewart’s car in the running for the end-of-year point title, with a 13th-place finish.
Tim Hartman Jr. won the 25-lap 602 sportsman feature. The victory tied him with his father Tim Hartman Sr. with 25 wins at The Great Race Place and places them in second on the all-time win list for that division.
Marty Kelly III finished second, followed by Brian Calabrese, Mike Coffey Jr. and Davis Boiclair.
Josh Coonradt claimed the 25 lap-pro stock feature after a hard-fought battle with Luke Horning. Rounding out the top five were Chad Jeseo, Rich Crane and Kim Duell.
It was another exciting night at Glen Ridge Motorsports Park. Everyone was waiting to see if there would finally be a two-time winner in the Red Chair DIRTcar 602 sportsman division. Amazingly, it did not happen on O’Connor Automotive and Oxbow Inn Night. Ryan Heath scored his first career win and became the ninth different driver in 2020 to grace victory lane. He was chased to the end by Andrew Buff, Tucker O’Connor, Joe Orlando and Travis Green.
Horning claimed the Yurkewecz Auto Crushers DIRTcar pro stock feature. He was followed by Beau Ballard, Tanner Warner, Jim Normoyle and Buck Gasner.
Stephen Gray took the limited sportsman feature over Nick Stone, Garrett Poland, Pete Lorenzo III and Mike Block.
Damon Anderson scored another win in the street stock division over Kenny Allen, Adam Tranka, John Williams and Harley Shepard.
The Northeast Paving & Sealcoat slingshot features were won by Brock Pinkerous in the all-star seniors, and Cole Conrad in the juniors.
Mimi-stock features were won by Wayne Russell Jr. in the single cam, and Ken Hollenbeck in the dual cam.
On Sunday, Devil’s Bowl Speedway held its Battle at the Bowl big block/small block challenge. The modifieds were scheduled to compete in a 50-lap, $7,500-to-win feature. At the end, it was Anthony Perrego, Erick Rudolph, Mat Williamson, Marc Johnson and Jimmy Phelps. The 25-lap big-block feature was won by Jessey Mueller over Williamson, Rudolph, Johnson and Perrego. The 25-lap small-block feature was won by Williamson over Rudolph, Stewart Friesen, Demetrios Drellos and Larry Wight.
The 602 crate sportsmen were competing in the King Of Dirt-Leon Gonyo Memorial 40-lap feature. Kevin Root scored the win over Drellos, Kenny Tremont Jr., Justin Comes and Jack Speshock.
Stewart Friesen was scheduled to be in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday to practice for Sunday’s NASCAR truck series race at Daytona International Speedway. The race will take place on a road course using part of the famous tri-oval and part of the infield. This is taking the place instead of the annual visit to the Watkins Glen road course.
He was scheduled to be at Albany-Saratoga on Friday night, Saturday at Fonda and then on the road course in Florida.
Tuesday, the Short Track Super Series was in Delaware for the Diamond State 50 lap for modifieds. Stewart Friesen took the feature over Matt Sheppard, Jimmy Horton, Andy Bachetti and Danny Bouc.
In the 602 sportsman 25-lap feature, it was Tanner VanDoren taking the win. Hartman Jr. finished fourth.
Thursday, the Land Of Legends Raceway in Canandaigua held a 40-lap race for the modifieds. Sheppard was the winner. Jimmy Phelps finished second, and Billy Decker third. Jack Lehner finished ninth, and Jessey Mueller 15th. Matt Janczuk won the 25-lap 602 sportsman feature.
Dodge City Speedway has been running two nights a week to accommodate its racers.
Last Friday, the winners were Deegan Nichols (Jr. 1 purple), Brayden Askew Jr. (Jr. champ 8-12), Matthew Roger (wing champ 12-15) and Kirsten Swartz (Jr. II advanced).
On Wednesday, the winners were Addisyn Roger (Jr. 1 gas), Frank Vignera Sr. (Jr. II advanced pro), John Askew (heavy flat head) and Vern LaForest (Sr. predator).
Fonda and Glen Ridge will race this weekend, but it will be with no fans in the stands. Pit gates will open at the regular times, with face masks required and social distancing in place.
This will be the annual championship night at Fonda, as its track champions will be crowned in all divisions. Glen Ridge will, hopefully, be able to continue with all of their scheduled race events.

A panel discussion on homelessness on the Kenai was held recently. Panelists outlined concerns including little available housing for low income residents, expensive or sporadic transportation for health care appointments as well as getting to jobs, and major concerns about health including substance abuse. These issues were addressed in great depth and with amazing compassion by the panelists including: Kelly King from Students in Transition Program Coordinator for KPBSD, Elizabeth Kleweno from Dena’ina Wellness Center, Ashley Blatchford from Lee Shore Center, Leslie Rohr from Love, Inc, Kimberly Haviland from Kenai Vet Center, Michael Applebee from VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic, Ravin Swan from Nuk’it’un House, Jennifer Waller from Freedom House and Jodi Stuart from Department of Corrections/Re-Entry Program.
The wide range of solutions as well as the complexity of the homelessness issue were explored from many different perspectives. It is indeed heartening to see so many agencies and groups come together to work towards solutions in our community. There is much to be done.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is charged with certain aspects of the monitoring of nuclear nonproliferation. In particular, LANL is interested in detecting any nuclear tests that may occur and it uses several sensing methods to achieve this goal.
One of these methods is to monitor for the telltale radio frequency (RF) emissions that accompany the detonation of any nuclear device. However, it is not only important to detect such detonations, it is also paramount to locate where they take place (geolocation).
The Nutaq VHS-ADC/DAC system, integrated with MATLAB and Simulink, as well as System Generator for DSP tools, gave LANL the interface that it needed to graphically implement a short baseline interferometer for simulation, ﬁxed-point testing, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and eventual deployment.


Monday 29 May 2017
gdb's data watchpoints are designed to only trigger when a written value actually changes; i.e., writes to memory that leave the value unchanged are deliberately ignored. (rr has to follow gdb's behavior.) I don't know why gdb does this, but it may be for historical reasons: it's impractical for a normal debugger to observe all possible writes to memory (e.g. those performed by the kernel), so a traditional strategy for implementing watchpoints is simply to re-read the watched location frequently and report changes, and obviously this can't detect idempotent updates.
Over the last year Kyle Huey and I have been building a brand-new record-and-replay-based debugger. One of the most intellectually challenging aspects of this project is sorting through the decisions made by existing debuggers, distinguishing those which are truly desirable from those made under the duress of implementation constraints that no longer apply. Handling of idempotent writes is one such decision. During rr replay we can observe all memory writes, so reporting all idempotent writes is perfectly feasible.
There are some clear cases where idempotent writes should not be ignored. For example, consider a series of printfs repeatedly overwriting the contents an output buffer. If, at the end of the series, the user wants to understand how the final value of some byte in the buffer was obtained, we should report the last printf to write to that location, even if the byte value it happened to write was the same as that written to the location by some previous printf. Reporting the previous printf would be hopelessly confusing --- though this is, in fact, what rr+gdb do.
On the other hand, I'm cautious. There may be some good reason to ignore idempotent writes that we just haven't figured out yet. It could possibly involve optimization — an optimizing compiler is free to introduce spurious writes if it knows they'll be idempotent — but I haven't seen or thought of a plausible example where this would be a problem.

NYSE Sold To ICE In $8.2B Deal
Companies that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange are often bought and sold. But it’s not every day that the stock exchange itself is sold… that’s what’s happened today.
FOX News Radio’s Hank Weinbloom reports from New York City:
It’s at the heart of American capitalism, the big board, the New York Stock Exchange. It’s actually been owned by a European company Euronext. But now, NYSE Euronext is selling itself to an American competitor, Intercontinental Exchange, based in Atlanta. It’s an $8.2 billion deal if approved by regulators. It’s expected the 220-year-old exchange will remain at its headquarters on Wall Street.
In New York, Hank Weinbloom, FOX News Radio.

While most of us wouldn’t want our cells sucking up more fat, cancer cells often need to adjust their metabolic needs to compensate for a deficiency in the production of certain lipid molecules. Now, a team of scientists from the University of Toronto has utilized genome-wide CRISPR screens to investigate global changes in cancerous cells as they adapt to a shortfall of critical nutrients such as lipids, which make up the cell’s outer membrane. When cancer cells are unable to make their own lipids, they gobble them up from their environment to ensure a steady supply of these essential building blocks, the study found. Lipids also serve as fuel and chemical signals for communication between cells, among other roles.
Understanding these underlying metabolic mechanisms could help investigators prevent the likelihood of it becoming resistant to treatment.
“Several clinical trials have failed because metabolism is such an adaptive process by which cancer cells gain drug resistance,” explained co-lead study investigator Michael Aregger, PhD, a research associate at the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research at the University of Toronto. “If you know how cells are able to adapt to perturbations, maybe we can target them more specifically to avoid resistance from developing.”
Findings from the new study published recently in Nature Metabolism through an article titled, “Systematic mapping of genetic interactions for de novo fatty acid synthesis identifies C12orf49 as a regulator of lipid metabolism.”
The switch in metabolism could be bad news for drugmakers seeking to target cancer by reducing its lipid reserves. In particular, drugs that inhibit an enzyme called FASN, for fatty acid synthase, involved in an early step of lipid synthesis, are being explored in patient trials. Fatty acids are precursors of larger lipid molecules, and their production is increased in many cancers thanks to elevated FASN levels, which are also associated with poor patient prognosis.
The current study suggests that the effectiveness of FASN inhibitors could be short-lived owing to cancer’s ability to find another way to procure lipids.
“Because FASN is upregulated in many cancers, fatty acid synthesis is one of the most promising metabolic pathways to target,” noted co-lead study investigator Keith Lawson, a PhD student enrolled in the surgeon-scientist program at the University of Toronto. “Given that we know there is a lot of plasticity in metabolic processes, we wanted to identify and predict ways in which cancer cells can potentially overcome the inhibition of lipid synthesis.”
To block fatty acid synthesis, the researchers employed a human cell line from which the FASN coding gene was removed. Using the genome-editing tool CRISPR, they deleted from these cells all ~18,000 or so human genes, one by one, to find those that can compensate for the halt in lipid production. Such functional relationships are also referred to as “genetic interactions.”
“We use pooled genome-wide CRISPR screens to systematically map genetic interactions (GIs) in human HAP1 cells carrying a loss-of-function mutation in fatty acid synthase (FASN), whose product catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids,” the authors wrote. “FASN-mutant cells show a strong dependence on lipid uptake that is reflected in negative GIs with genes involved in the LDL receptor pathway, vesicle trafficking, and protein glycosylation. Further support for these functional relationships is derived from additional GI screens in query cell lines deficient in other genes involved in lipid metabolism, including LDLR, SREBF1, SREBF2, and ACACA. Our GI profiles also identify a potential role for the previously uncharacterized gene C12orf49 (which we call LUR1) in the regulation of exogenous lipid uptake through modulation of SREBF2 signaling in response to lipid starvation.”
Data analysis revealed hundreds of genes that become essential when cells are starved of fat. Their protein products clustered into well-known metabolic pathways through which cells hoover up dietary cholesterol and other lipids from their surroundings.
The cells’ intake of cholesterol has become textbook knowledge since it was discovered half a century ago, winning a Nobel Prize and inspiring the blockbuster drug statin and many others. But the new study found that one component of this process remained overlooked all this time. The gene encoding it was only known as C12orf49, named after its location on chromosome 12. The researchers re-named the gene LUR1, for lipid uptake regulator 1, and showed that it helps switch on a set of genes directly involved in lipid import.
“This was a big surprise to us that we were able to identify a new component of the process we thought we knew everything about,” Aregger remarked. “It really highlights the power of our global genetic interaction approach that allowed us to identify a new player in lipid uptake in a completely unbiased way.”
Amazingly, two additional groups working independently in New York and Amsterdam also linked C12orf49 to lipid metabolism, lending further support for the gene’s role in this process.
Inhibiting LUR1 or other components of lipid import, along with FASN, could lead to more effective cancer treatments. Such combination therapies are thought to be less susceptible to emerging drug resistance because the cells would have to simultaneously overcome two obstacles—blocked lipid production and import—which has a lower probability of occurring.
“Therapeutic context that comes out of our work is that you should be targeting lipid uptake in addition to targeting lipid synthesis, and our work highlights some specific genes that could be candidates,” Lawson concluded.


"On Monday, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency detected a suspicious substance during mail screening at the Pentagon's remote screening facility," Col. Rob Manning stated, as quoted by Fox News. "All USPS mail received at the Pentagon mail screening facility yesterday is currently under quarantine and poses no threat to Pentagon personnel."
A former US Navy serviceman is suspected of sending packages with ricin, Fox News reported, citing officials. According to the media, the packages, at least two of which tested positive for ricin, were sent to the Pentagon, the White House and Senator Ted Cruz's office in Texas this week. The media claims that this was part of a coordinated effort.
Today @POTUS, #SecDef Mattis, Sen. @tedcruz & a Navy Admiral were all attacked w biological weapon, Ricin, sent by mail.— Miami Young Republicans (@MiamiYRs) October 2, 2018
Simultaneously, violent activists broke into office & assaulted @RepAndyHarrisMD.

As the officials specified to the media, one of the envelopes, addressed to Defense Secretary James Mattis or the Navy's top officer, Admiral John Richardson, included a return address, which led investigators to believe that it came from a sailor, whose name has not been disclosed.
The report did not identify the officer, given that the investigation into the incident is ongoing. Both packages that tested positive for ricin are now at the FBI's disposal for further testing.
The two suspicious envelopes that initially tested positive for Ricin were addressed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and to Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral John Richardson, a defense official tells CNN https://t.co/wR9HXh8Sbf— Ryan Browne (@rabrowne75) October 2, 2018
On Tuesday, the US Secret Service announced that the day before it had received a "suspicious envelope" addressed to President Trump. The agency said that the envelope "was not received at the White House, nor did it ever enter the White House."
Ricin is a poisonous agent that can take different forms, including those of a purified powder, which can be deadly.

Those attending the demonstration held up signs with the words "Free Josh," and speakers were insistent on the unfairness of his imprisonment. Ross Mirkarimi, a San Francisco supervisor, said he was "angry as hell about this" and called for a "serious outcry, and not just only by us." In a statement, California state Assemblyman Mark Leno, who did not attend the rally, called Wolf's plight a "travesty of justice."
Josh Wolf remains in a Dublin, Calif., correctional facility. Supporters held a rally to mark the day.
The afternoon gathering, which ran about an hour on the steps of City Hall, was organized by the Free Josh Wolf Coalition, with Wolf's friend Julian Davis acting as facilitator. "Basically, if Josh isn't released today, he'll be the longest-held journalist under contempt," Davis said. "We wanted to landmark the date by holding this rally."
Wolf, in fact, did on Tuesday become the longest-serving journalist behind bars in U.S. history for contempt.
On August 1,for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury seeking unpublished footage he shot during a 2005 protest that turned violent. Wolf was released on bail a month later while his appeal was being considered. But a three-judge panel rejected the appeal and revoked bail.
Wolf might normally be protected by California's Shield Law. But federal prosecutors, who want to see if Wolf's footage shows a San Francisco police car being set on fire at the protest, say they have jurisdiction over the case because the car was paid for in part by federal dollars. While many states have enacted shield laws to protect journalists from revealing confidential sources, notes and unpublished materials, there is no federal shield law to protect Wolf.
Federal officials could not be reached for comment.
The Society of Professional Journalists--which fights for the rights of journalists and has supported Wolf through its Legal Defense Fund--awarded Wolf with the James Madison Award for Online Free Speech Tuesday, his 168th day of incarceration. In November, he was awarded a 2006 journalist of the year award by the same organization.
As Wolf prepared to spend another night at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, Calif., Bruce Brugmann of the San Francisco Bay Guardian said that "Josh Wolf is not just a blogger, Josh Wolf is a hero." Brugmann, editor and publisher of the SFBG, alluded to an incident in which he had to submit bail for three editors writing about South Korea, and thought he would never have to deal with such a situation again.
Of Wolf's case, Brugmann said, "This is much worse than that. This is an independent journalist in San Francisco who's doing nothing but his job, and he's tossed in jail for contempt...Where are we, Bulgaria? Or Korea?"
As the event ended, Andy Blue of the Free Josh Wolf Coalition read aloud a letter written by Wolf from jail. Wolf "never thought this would happen," according to his letter. Wolf went on to say that he "grew up being taught that the United States was the greatest country on earth, that dissent was not only permitted but encouraged, and that we had a free press that was not encumbered by government interference."

Title: ‘Images of a Revolution’(1983) / ‘Imagens de uma Revolução’(1984)
Photographers: Moira Forjaz, Susan Meiselas
Designer: David King
Writer: Albie Sachs
Publisher: Partido Frelimo, Maputo, 1984
After independence, the Mozambican authorities commissioned the production of mural art on specially chosen sites. The murals, made both by Mozambicans and Chilean exiles, represented a special kind of enthusiasm. The artists focused on several themes from Mozambique’s past, present and future, such as the colonial wars, agricultural and economic cooperation, and the war against corruption. The book was issued to celebrate the fourth congress of FRELIMO, which was also presenting its five year plan.

Satellite images have been widely used in the production of geospatial information such as land use and land cover mapping and the generation of several thematic layers via image processing techniques. The systematic sensor and platform-induced geometry errors influence images acquired by sensors onboard various satellite platforms. Thus, geometric correction of satellite images is essential for image pre-processing to extract accurate and reliable locational information. Geometric correction of satellite images obtained from two different satellites, Pleiades 1A (PHR) and SPOT-6, was performed within the scope of this study using empirical models and a physical model. The 2D polynomial model, 3D rational function model with calculated RPCs from GCPs, 3D rational function model with RPCs from satellite, RPC refinement model using GCPs, and Toutin's physical model were used. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters on the performance of the geometric correction procedure, such as GCP reference data source, GCP number and distribution, DEM source, spatial resolution, and model. Our results showed that lower RMSE values could be achieved with the model that uses RPC from data providers for PHR and SPOT, followed by the RPC refinement method for PHR and Toutin method for SPOT. In general, GCPs from the HGM data source and ALOS DEM combination provided better results. Lastly, lower RMSE values, thus better locational accuracy values, were observed with the PHR image except for a single test.

Chronic nonpuerperal uterine inversion and necrosis: a case report

Inversion of the non-pregnant uterus is rare.
A 56-year-old African American woman presented to our emergency center with complaints of a mass protruding from her vagina. She subsequently underwent vaginal myomectomy, abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathologic examination revealed a necrotic fibroid and endometrium. At the time of laparotomy an inverted uterus was diagnosed when a 3 cm dimple containing bilateral round ligaments, infundibulopelvic ligaments and bladder was observed.
Chronic nonpuerperal inversion of the uterus is rare. Infection should be suspected and appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics begun while planning surgery. An attempt at vaginal restoration and removal is difficult. Abdominal hysterectomy may be necessary taking care to locate the distal urinary collecting system.
- African American Woman
- Abdominal Hysterectomy
- Uterine Fibroid
- Endometrial Polyp
Chronic uterine inversion of the nonpuerperal uterus is an uncommon event, reported approximately 100 times in the literature since 1940 [1, 2]. Chronic nonpuerperal uterine inversion is often associated with uterine pathology. Prolapsed fibroids tend to be the most common inciting factor with occasional reports of inversion associated with uterine neoplasm and endometrial polyps [1, 3–6]. Three contributing factors proposed for uterine inversion are 1) sudden emptying of the uterus which was previously distended by a tumor 2) thinning of the uterine walls due to an intrauterine tumor, and 3) dilatation of the cervix . The following is a case report of a woman who presented hospital with nonpuerperal uterine inversion secondary to a prolapsed necrosing submucous fibroid, with accompanying uterine necrosis.
A 56-year-old African American woman presented to our emergency center reporting that for approximately one year she had noticed a 'tangerine'-sized mass that extruded from her vagina approximately one to two times per week. This occurred sporadically and initially the mass was easily reducible. Prior to the mass coming out she would experience lower back pain, and noticed that sometimes prolonged periods of standing or walking would precipitate the event. She described the pain as 8 out of 10 when the mass was extruded, crampy in nature and sometimes associated with nausea.
When the mass could no longer be reduced she sought attention from a physician. The mass was sometimes associated with slight bleeding, and recently had developed a foul odor. She denied any difficulty voiding, weight loss, change in appetite, fevers, or chills. She did report constipation.
She had three term vaginal deliveries, a medical history of chronic hypertension of five years, and sarcoidosis mainly affecting her lungs for which she used an inhaled steroid, fluticasone. She was menopausal for four years and denied any history of sexually transmitted diseases, abnormal pap smears and other postmenopausal bleeding. She had no significant past social history and no known drug allergies.
She was afebrile, and her other vital signs were within normal limits. She had slightly atrophic external female genitalia with normal appearing labia; the urethral meatus could not be seen.
There was an approximately 10 cm well circumscribed mass, thought likely to be a fibroid, protruding four centimeters (cms) past the hymenal ring. It was beefy red in appearance; there was no active bleeding, and there appeared to be a thick base to the mass. The cervix could be palpated from approximately two to five o'clock, but could not be seen. The discernible uterus was not palpable on rectovaginal exam. An attempt was made at straight catheterization of the bladder but the urethral meatus could not be located. Ultrasound revealed an empty bladder post voiding.
There are over a hundred case reports of chronic nonpuerperal inversion of the uterus. Most reports cite a prolapsed fibroid as the cause, with some reporting that the fibroid was infected . We are unaware of a report which documents necrosis of the prolapsed fibroid and endometrium with inflammation in the surrounding myometrium.
The uterus when fully inverted generates tension on the vaginal wall, bladder and the urethra. This can cause the urethra to move from its normal anatomic location, approximately 2 to 3 cm inferior to the clitoris, to a sub-symphyseal location making it difficult to locate. Also, the uterine cervix if completely inverted and flush with the vagina will be difficult to identify. Sometimes complete inversion is not the case and a constricting ring, representing the cervix, can be felt.
Preoperative evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been described . Sagittal views demonstrate a U-shaped endometrial cavity, while axial images show a bullseye configuration.
Many surgical techniques have been described, abdominally those of Huntington and Haultain, and vaginally those of Kustner and Spinelli [6, 10]. Due to concern for the location of the ureters because of the recent dilatation of the cervix, and the inability to revert the uterus, we employed an abdominal approach. We made numerous attempts to perform the Huntington technique with little success. Ultimately we used the Haultain procedure with careful recognition of bilateral ureters, and postoperative diagnostic cystoscopy.
Chronic nonpuerperal inversion of the uterus is uncommon, with little more than 100 reports in the literature. Its presence should be suspected when a larger prolapsed fibroid is encountered. Biopsy of the mass is prudent given its occurrence with uterine malignancy. In chronic inversion secondary to a fibroid, infection of the fibroid and uterus should be suspected. An attempt at vaginal restoration and removal has been reported but is difficult. Abdominal hysterectomy may be necessary, taking care to locate the distal ureters, with intraoperative cystoscopy to ensure bladder and ureteral integrity.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

London, United K...
I’d been doing slow sewing recently so it seems a good time to do some quick sewing with Burda 10/2012’s gathered front knit top (pattern 114). I used a lurex cotton jersey with tiny golden and silver threads. The fabric is quite thin and has both crosswise and lengthwise stretch. The top is more tight fitting than it looks on the magazine’s photo but it’s definitely comfy and nice to wear with jeans. You can see the making of the top on my blog:

Dark Horse’s Star Wars Farewell Tour continues this month with the final issue of Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir. Is it good?
Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir #4 (Dark Horse Comics)
After being betrayed by his mercenary allies, Darth Maul quickly turns on Dooku (AGAIN) and locks him up in a cell (AGAIN). This seemed a bit contrived at first, but Maul soon reveals a very good reason why the truce with his rival was flipped so hastily.
“…and you can’t use our Netflix password anymore, either!”
After arriving on Dathomir, Dooku’s life essence is used to bring Mother Talzin’s form fully back into the physical realm. Unfortunately for the Zabrak warlord, Grievous and the Emperor are en route to put a stop to the proceedings.
As you might have guessed, this leads to an explosive confrontation between the various dark factions of the post-Clone Wars era Star Wars Universe. By the end of the story, we’re given some solid answers on how things lead into Episode III… and given a lot more questions, as well.
“Why do I keep stabbing other Siths in the back when I know this will happen?!”
Is It Good?
Just like I’ve said before while reviewing this series, I really shouldn’t like this issue. Not only were we cheated out of the awesome Grievous vs. Maul showdown everyone wants (AGAIN), but the conclusion was far too open ended. It just doesn’t make sense that a pissed off Maul would slink into the background for all these years, especially with a remaining power base of loyal soldiers (some did stay) and what he saw happen to Mother Talzin.
But just like before, the execution of this issue’s somewhat weak plot was so good that I couldn’t help but enjoy it. Not only is Juan Frigeri’s art fantastic, but writer Jeremy Barlow does a great job choreographing the final battl. He also delivers series’ strongest dialogue by far near the end of the issue, giving us a chilling reminder of just how ruthless the dark side of the galaxy truly is.
Son of Dathomir has no business being a great story. The actions and decisions by many of the main characters (along with the lack of solid resolution) should be incredibly frustrating…but the excellent pacing and gorgeously kinetic artwork make it too much fun to dislike. Maybe I’m just being sentimental about Star Wars leaving Dark Horse, but it’s worth noting that they took a fairly weak story outline from the television show and turned it into another great tale for the franchise.
Well done again, Dark Horse.

Leao Winter Defender Grip - a state-of-the-art studded winter tyre made for the Nordic winter
Developed and tested in Ivalo. Leao Winter Defender Grip is a new top-quality winter tyre developed especially for harsh Nordic winter conditions. The tyre has been developed and tested in the ultimate winter conditions of Lapland. The tests have been made in the world famous winter tyre testing centre Ivalo Test World. By testing many different compounds and structures in real Nordic winter, Linglong has been able to create a studded tyre that you can rely on even in the most difficult winter climate.
Factory studded with Finnish Tikka studs using fully automatic studding machines manufactured by A-Technic. For maximum traction on ice, Leao Winter Defender Grip is equipped with Finnish Tikka studs. As for quality, Tikka Spikes Ltd has been the global leader in stud manufacturing ever since the company developed the world's first tyre studs in the 1950's. The stable quality of studding is guaranteed by using fully automatic studding machines manufactured by the Finnish company A-Technic and representing the latest in studding technology.
Excellent test results
In the development of the Leao Winter Defender Grip tyre, two tyres were chosen as comparison products: the then market leader Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7, which had scored the highest points in most tyre tests, and Hankook Winter I*Pike. The aim was to create a tyre which would, in terms of performance, fall somewhere between these two quality tyres and beat them clearly in the value for money.
The tests were conducted by Test World, the world's leading winter tyre testing centre located in Ivalo, Finland and famous, for example, for tyre tests conducted for the Finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma (Engineering World). According to the test results, Linglong did extremely well among its high-quality competitors. The tests measured grip in braking on four different surfaces: snow, ice, wet and dry. Linglong was at least second on every surface, beating Hankook on three out of four and Nokian on two out of four surfaces. Overall, it could even be said that Linglong was the best one among these three top quality tyres, and, given its considerably lower price, there remains no doubt that Linglong offers the best value for money in comparison with its competitors.
Trust Finnish winter tyre testing and choose Leao Winter Defender Grip for safety!

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Jon Burnett was one of Pittsburgh’s favorite on-air personalities for 36 years.
At KDKA-TV, he co-hosted Evening Magazine, Pittsburgh Today, did the weather and co-hosted Pittsburgh Today Live for 11 years.
Burnett was always known for his adventurous and spontaneous spirit, willing to try anything like rappelling down a high rise, driving a jeep over boulders or racing on Big Wheels.
Burnett retired five years ago when he was 65, but many people don’t know he’s been facing some major health challenges since then, and he recently got a diagnosis. His neurologist says he has suspected CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy — a progressive brain disease caused by repetitive blows to the head. It’s suspected because the only way to definitively diagnose CTE is with an autopsy of the brain.
Before Burnett was on TV, he was on another stage: the football field. Burnett and his family wanted to share their story for many reasons. To help everyone better understand CTE, to help others who may face it, to remove the stigma around brain disease and to continue Burnett’s legacy of giving back to the Pittsburgh community.
Jon, his wife Debbie and his adult children Samantha and Eric sat down to talk with KDKA-TV’s Kristine Sorensen, who remains friends with Burnett after 20 years working together on the anchor desk and as PTL co-hosts.
Kristine says she has seen Burnett’s short-term memory worsen over the past several years, as well as his walk and his voice. She asked him about it and how retirement is going.
“I spent some of my time wishing that my voice wasn’t gone,” Burnett said. “It’s just this is the best I can do. This is a good day. My wife Debbie’s here. What is wrong with me? What’s wrong with my throat?”
Burnett asks his wife of 48 years to help him remember a lot of things. And through it all, he understands what’s happening.
“She’s my brains. Somebody would have to be,” he says.
Kristine asks Jon, “What does it feel like when you can’t remember something? Is it frustrating or what is it you go through?”
“It’s not as frustrating as it once was,” Burnett says, “because I’m growing accustomed to it. I guess it’s familiar.”
Jon’s short-term memory has been declining for 10 years, but other symptoms have gotten worse in the last two, including shuffling and reduced facial expression.
Debbie doesn’t leave him alone at all since he had a choking incident and is now on a soft-food diet. He’s not allowed to drive. He’s even had to be hospitalized a couple of times recently.
“There definitely have been challenges,” Debbie says. “It’s not what you think of retirement being.”
Jon’s daughter, Samantha, and son, Eric, are quick to focus on the positive; how their dad still loves time with family and playing with his five grandkids, who are ages 1 to 13.
Eric says, “He’s still there. He’s still having conversations with (his grandkids). He’s still running around, picking them up and having special sweet moments with them, and so that, in itself, is a blessing.”
Samantha says, “In his heart and in his core, he’s still dad. He loves his family. He loves people. He loves the outdoors. And none of that has changed.”
Jon adds, “I still got my kids and grandkids to chase around the house. I’m never, ever gonna give that up, even if I’m crawling on my hands and knees.
“Life wouldn’t be life without them. You’ll know someday,” he says to Kristine.
So after years of tests and doctor’s appointments, UPMC cognitive neurologist Dr. Joseph Malone ruled out all other possible causes and diagnosed Jon with suspected CTE.
Kristine asks Jon, “What did you think when the doctor told you you have suspected CTE, which comes from head injuries?”
Jon replied, “So first, I was kind of proud because it meant that I had been doing my job. Head first, chin up, face mask here, right into his head or his stomach or whatever. But whoever I was tackling or blocking, I was doing a number on most of them, but ultimately, I paid the price with the concussions that I had over the years, several of them.”
Jon played tackle football in Knoxville, Tennessee starting at the age of 10.
“I played both ways in high school. I was a fullback and a defensive end,” Jon said.
He was eventually recruited to play defensive end at the University of Tennessee. During his years on the field, Jon suffered two major concussions where he was knocked out cold: one during practice at the Gator Bowl where he was hit so hard, it split his helmet.
He estimates he used his head to hit another player 30-40 times a game, adding up to hundreds of hits over a decade, which is one of the primary reasons Jon’s neurologist suspects CTE.
“The main risk factor is something we call repetitive head injuries, or RHI, and this reflects multiple bonks to the head essentially,” said Dr. Malone.
Jon’s wife Debbie said, “I think we knew this in the back of our mind. I think he’s always said, ‘This is because of all the hits I took.'”
Like many kids, Football was Jon’s passion from a young age.
“I quickly discovered that I liked contact which, of course, is why my head is so screwed up today. And I liked the camaraderie that went with being on a team.
“Scoring touchdowns, intercepting passes, making a big tackle behind the line of scrimmage — all those things I did, and you know, all those things still motivate me today. But would I do it all over again? Absolutely. Would I try to protect my head a little bit more? I’d try, but I don’t know if it would have helped or not.”
There’s no way to tell exactly what head injuries caused Jon’s suspected CTE, one more reason researchers are trying to study people who played all kinds of contact sports.
Doctors still don’t know why some people with head injuries get CTE and others don’t, how to completely prevent it while still playing contact sports, or how to treat it.
Jon and his family want to share his story to help others and prevent more people from developing it, including by making sports safer.
His son, Eric said, “Even though a lot of what we are discussing can be looked at as negative and sad, I think that, again, what we’re doing right now, what you’re doing, dad, right now, is this is totally Jon Burnett — looking at the positive in every situation and thinking about the good that you can do for others.”
Jon said, “And I’ll never forget the things that I watched as these guys grew up into beautiful adults that you see here. I’m talking about my daughter, Samantha, my son, Eric, and my wife, Debbie, is my rock.”
It’s an emotional journey for everyone who loves Jon, but there’s hope that this star of the football field and television will also shine a light on the potential dangers of repeated head injuries and help everyone better understand their impact.
“If I can help anybody on this road, who is on this road or will be on this road in the years ahead, I feel better about being able to do that and being able to learn from my experiences,” he said.
Jon is part of research at the National Sports Brain Bank at the University of Pittsburgh, where scientists are working to learn about CTE. They need any athlete who played a sport with a higher risk of head injury to participate in their study so they can learn more about why some people get it, some don’t and what can be done to prevent and treat it.
The study involves an annual online questionnaire and agreeing to donate your brain upon death. The brain can be removed without any change to the rest of the body and can still allow for a traditional funeral and open casket.

One of the problems with writing about developing-world technology is that all too often the sexy tech is useless, and the useful tech is deeply unsexy. Innovations that actually change lives in a profound and meaningful way are frequently grimy, clumsy, noisy and ugly. Like this donkey:
That’s not quite a non sequitur. What you have in this photo (taken a four-hour walk from the nearest road in the foothills of Colombia’s Sierra Nevada mountains) are two eras of technology, side by side: animal power, and in the hut behind it, hydro power.
Hill country is rough country. Think Appalachian hillbillies, Bosnian ethnic cleansing, Bolivian coups, Nepali Maoists, Papua New Guinea blood vendettas, Colombian paramilitary strongholds, the Rwandan genocide, Osama Bin Laden’s hideout: all lands of steep, barely accessible hills and valleys, bloody tribalism and abject poverty. (I’ll concede Switzerland as the exception that proves the rule.)
But at the same time, hill country has incredible potential. I mean that literally: the potential energy of the water flowing through their mighty rivers. Himalayan hydro could conceivably light up not just Nepal but a sizable fraction of the entire Asian continent.
But hydro power has too often meant megaprojects for megawatts: huge artificial lakes, mass forced migrations, decades of construction. Examples include Lake Volta in Ghana, Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe, and China’s huge Three Gorges dam, which has created the world’s largest artificial lake upstream of the most densely populated real estate on Earth, in an area prone to massive earthquakes. I’m just saying.
That little hut behind the donkey, however, is home to this small and unsexy Pelton wheel engine:
Its 300 watts power a fridge, a string of light bulbs, a TV, DVD players, and a satellite dish. Not much — but enough that this remote river valley is no longer cut off from the world. Finally they can avail themselves of civilization’s elegant and educational delights. For example, on the night I spent here, the entire local population clustered around the TV to watch… um… American Ninja.
Well, the road to Kubrick and Kieslowski has to start somewhere.
An obvious Catch-22; hill country is poor country, and thus cannot afford hydro power. There are various solutions. Microcredit is one. Another is tourism; this engine was paid for by the trickle of tourists who spend the night in this valley while trekking through the Colombian jungle to Ciudad Perdida. I’ve been saying for years that the best way to give to developing countries is spend your money in them having fun.
Oh, and don’t worry, that donkey’s not going to be out of work anytime soon. How do you think the engine got there?

If you actually consider it, Black History Month is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing in that America pauses for a few weeks and acknowledges the many valuable contributions African-Americans have made to the fabric of the nation. It’s a curse, however, in that while celebrating the tremendous successes and achievements of black people, many Americans forget that, in a whole host of ways, blacks are still struggling.
That’s why it’s probably good that National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed on Feb. 7. In its 11th year, the day, a time to get tested for HIV, speak with your family and friends about the illnesses and learn more yourself, is an important reminder that although we’ve made some magnificent strides, the black community still has a long way to go. (See more on NBHAAD here)
As it stands, blacks accounted for 46 percent of people living with HIV in the 37 reporting states and five U.S.-dependent areas in 2007, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And in 2006, blacks accounted for 45 percent of all the new HIV infections in the U.S. Black men are especially vulnerable, accounting for 65 percent of all the new HIV cases in the black community in 2006. Black men are six times more likely than white men to get HIV, and three times more likely than Latino men. They’re also twice as likely to become infected than black women.
Exacerbating everything is the fact that when blacks do get HIV/AIDS, they’re more likely to die from the disease than their counterparts of other ethnicities. In 2006, HIV was the third leading cause of death for black men and women between the ages of 35 and 44.
This problem is terrifying and deadly, and ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away. So as much as it may hurt, it’s important to acknowledge the scourge of AIDS this month while also celebrating our past and future leaders. A brighter day is ahead, but we’ll have to see some darkness to get there.

The claim by the Ministry of Defence on Tuesday came as Ukrainian media cited intelligence sources linking a spate of recent strikes on air bases deep inside Russia with saboteurs.
The MoD highlighted the destruction of a Tupolev Tu-22 supersonic bomber on Saturday at the Soltsy-2 air base south of St Petersburg, some 400 miles from the Ukrainian border, saying it was “unlikely” that the drone which hit the plane could have been launched from Ukraine.
“The Russian Defence Ministry said that a copter-style uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) was responsible for the attack,” the MoD said.
“If true, this adds weight to the assessment that some UAV attacks against Russian military targets are being launched from inside Russian territory. Copter UAVs are unlikely to have the range to reach Soltsky-2 from outside Russia,” it added.
Russia’s defence ministry admitted the Soltsy-2 air base, situated in the Novgorod region, was attacked on Saturday but has downplayed the extent of the incident.
Dramatic pictures published by Ukraine following the strike showed the Tu-22 bomber enveloped in flames.
Several open-source intelligence outlets have since verified the images and on Tuesday, the BBC’s Russian Service released fresh satellite imagery supporting the reports.
An image taken on Monday showed a patch of scorched earth in what appeared to be a parking spot for a warplane.
The Tu-22 model, which can travel at twice the speed of sound, has been used extensively to strike Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine does not have the capability to intercept such planes although its forces have proved repeatedly that they are able to shoot down the missiles it launches.
Ukraine’s military intelligence service (GUR) meanwhile claimed that the attack had been carried out by a drone launched from within Russia.
“Those drone operations were coordinated by the GUR, and they caused significant losses to the Russian air force,” an unnamed GUR official told The New Voice of Ukraine news website.
The official added that agents cooperating with the intelligence service had destroyed or damaged five Russian aircraft in recent days.
Separately on Tuesday, reports emerged that Gen Sergei Surovikin had been dismissed as the head of the Russian Air Force.
Gen Surovikin reportedly fell out of favour with the Kremlin over his alleged ties to the Wagner Group following its failed mutiny in June
Alexei Venediktov, the editor of the banned Ekho Moskvy radio station, posted an excerpt from a Kremlin decree which appeared to show Gen Surovikin had been dismissed from his post but will be retained in some capacity at the defence ministry.
The 56-year-old, also known as General Armageddon for his role in flattening the Syrian city of Aleppo, has not been seen in public since he recorded a video urging Wagner’s chief Yevgeny Prigozhin to stop the group’s mutiny in June that lasted barely 24 hours before being aborted.


Vancouver council approves locals-first condo pre-sales effort
City staff will now look at ways to compel developers to give Metro Vancouver residents first dibs on condo pre-sales.

Vancouver city staff will examine ways to give local residents a first crack at condo pre-sales, after councillors voted in favour of a motion brought forward by Mayor Gregor Robertson.
Two NPA councillors who voted against the mayor’s motion said they found the proposal racist and exclusionary, and questioned whether it would add yet more layers of bureaucracy in a city already known for being difficult to build in.
“I haven’t seen any other city that has excluded nationals from (purchasing condo pre-sales),” said Melissa De Genova, an NPA councillor.
“That includes people who had to move out of Metro Vancouver who could not afford to live here… In fact under this policy, Mr. Mayor, refugees might not be able to come here and purchase a condo if they wanted to.”
But the six Vision and one Green councillors who voted in favour of the motion said it was one way the city can reduce speculation on the Vancouver real estate market, where condo prices have recently skyrocketed and pre-sales assignment flipping — selling a pre-sale contract before the unit has closed — has become common.
"Surely we are in agreement we need to prioritize local people," said Green Coun. Adriane Carr, pointing out that even police and firefighters can no longer afford to buy homes in Vancouver.
Robertson’s motion asked city staff to look at ways the city can give locals a first chance to buy pre-sales. He gave the example of an agreement the District of West Vancouver made with Westbank to sell only to Metro Vancouver residents for the first 90 days of sales.
The motion only applies to new projects coming up for rezoning — not to any projects that have started the process.
Robertson made some late additions to the motion on the day it came before council: he asked staff to also look at ways to restrict the bulk purchase of pre-sales, and ways to prevent assignment flipping.
“We’re in discussions with the province about what steps they can take on that front too as they regulate the real estate industry,” Robertson said.
Restrictions the province put in place to prevent flipping of real estate assignments in 2016 — a practice that came to be known as “shadow flipping” — do not apply to pre-sale assignment flipping. Steve Saretsky, a Vancouver realtor, previously told Metro he believes heated pre-sales activity is pushing up the price of resale condos.
The Urban Development Institute, a real estate lobby group, warned that new restrictions could have an impact on the city’s economy.
“The Vancouver Economic Commission has been leading a stakeholder partnership group to prepare the City’s bid for the Amazon HQ2,” wrote Anne McMullin, CEO of the UDI, in a statement. “We need to ensure that these efforts are not undermined by perceptions that the tens of thousands of skilled knowledge workers who would potentially move here would be denied fair and equal access to housing.”


Two passengers were injured around 10 p.m. Saturday after an accident at the intersection of Paris Road and Brown Station Road.
Aaron Monroe, 38, was driving a motorcycle with Michele Groves, 39, as a passenger. Monroe ran a red light going north on Paris Road. The motorcycle hit a car driven by Marilynn Young, 38, and both riders of the motorcycle were ejected.
Police have reason to believe that Monroe was under the influence of drugs or alcohol based on observations from officers and paramedics on the scene, according to the Officer Nathan Turner, major crash investigator for the Columbia Police Department.
Monroe suffered moderate injuries. Groves was reported to have serious/life threatening injuries and her condition was critical on Monday. Both passengers were taken to University Hospital, Turner said.
Turner's investigation of the incident is ongoing.
Supervising editor is Tynan Stewart.

Show me the money
WITH Brunswick Heads and Bangalow holding off the imposition of paid parking so far, long time Byron Bay anti-paid parking campaigner Paul McCarthy is asking for Byron Council to "show him the money" when it comes to the revenue raised from paid parking in Byron.
"We all went with the idea of paid parking because we believed we were staving of forced amalgamation and we needed to be Fit for the Future," Mr McCarthy said.
"I believe the community went along with it because we understood all the money collected would be spent here in town on our crumbling infrastructure.
"But figures I managed to source from council indicate this is not the case and of the $3.5million collected in 2016-17 only around $500,000 gets spent directly here in the Bay and that was not the deal we signed up for."
Mr McCarthy sat down this week with Byron Councillor Paul Spooner and by their reckoning of the $3.5million collected roughly $1million goes in running costs and $500,000 is raised in parking exemptions for locals.
Cr Spooner plans to raise the matter at the next meeting of Byron Shire Council on Thursday, February 1.
"I think we need some clarity and certainty around where council is spending the paid parking money raised in Byron Bay," Cr Spooner said.
Byron Council's Director of Infrastructure Services Phil Holloway confirmed paid parking was introduced in Byron Bay as part of the Fit for the Future response and as a way of recouping money for Byron from visitors as the shire was, "significantly affected by tourists."
"Part of the trade off (for its introduction) was the modification of the charges and time limits and the introduction of the exemptions for locals," he said.
He said at the time of the introduction discussions within council had taken place with the understanding that 50% of the revenue would be spent in Byron with other money spent across the rest of the shire as the, "affects of tourism in Byron are spread across the rest of the shire."


Holli is flying the Extreme motor glider. It's powered by a 4 stroke 0.40 OS engine. The real version is powered by a 114hp 4 stroke Rotax 914 engine. It has a 55ft wing span that provides a 1:28 glide ratio.
Renee's bright red hair matches her Katana. It's powered by a 2 stroke 0.25 OS engine. The real version is powered by a 80hp 4 stroke Rotax 912 engine. The Katana is based on the motor glider and has a 1:14 glide ratio.
These model kits came from KAM in Canada. Unfortunately, they are no longer available.
I haven't flown these models yet, but I got my pilot's license in the Katana. It's a great airplane and I was lucky enough to buy one of my own.

Romania has the European Union’s highest percentage of workers at risk of in-work poverty, according to new figures published by the European Union’s statistics unit Eurostat on March 16. Almost 20 per cent of working Romanians are considered at risk, followed at a distance by Greece (14.1 per cent), Spain (13.1 per cent), Luxembourg (12 per cent), Italy (11.7 per cent), Bulgaria (11.4 per cent), Portugal (10.9 per cent) and Poland (10.8 per cent).
At the other end of the scale the Czech Republic boasts the lowest percentage of employed persons at risk of poverty amongst emerging European nations: just 3.8 per cent. Only Finland (3.1 per cent) has a lower rate.
Compared with 2010, the share of employed persons at risk of poverty has risen in a majority of EU member states.
The highest increases were recorded in emerging Europe, in Hungary (an increase of 4.3 percentage points), in Bulgaria (3.7 percentage points) and Estonia (3.1 percentage points).
In contrast, decreases in the share of employed persons at risk of poverty over the same time period were observed in nine member states, including Lithuania – which had the largest decrease (-4.1 percentage points) and Latvia (-1.1 percentage points).
Over recent years in the EU as a whole, the proportion of employed persons at risk of poverty has risen continually, from 8.3 per cent in 2010 to 9.6 cent in 2016.
Persons at risk of poverty are those living in a household with an equivalised disposable income below the risk-of-poverty threshold. This threshold is set at 60 per cent of the national median equivalised disposable income (after social transfers).

WHO WE ARE
WHAT WE DO
LIOS is a young NGO, founded by people who strongly believe that climate change is a soil problem.
With ever rising global temperatures, weather extremes and increasing rates of desertification, climate change is acutely threatening our very existence on this planet. But, we have an idea what to do about it.
WHY WE DO IT
Because SOIL MATTERS...
...For our environment
...For our society
...For our economy
Soil - the black gold. It is the foundation on which our ecosystems stand, and all terrestrial life is dependent on its presence. The importance of soil fertility is slowly gaining traction in environmental conversations. Fertile soil is the key to thriving natural environments, to our food supply and our self-regenerating water supply as well as being one of our planet’s largest carbon sinks.
This makes our soil the strongest tool against the climate crisis we face today.
