Dogs: Expert on protecting their paws from the snow
Many of the dogs fell ill after walks on the beach in the Scarborough area, with local vets saying they have been "inundated" with sick dogs. In posts shared to their Facebook pages, The Best Days Out in Yorkshire and Yorkshire Coast Pet Care both expressed concerns over the recent incidents, which have been taking place across the North East. The veterinary nurse in charge of Yorkshire Coast Pet Care, Brogan Proud, said on Facebook: "I work within several practices up and down the North East coast and we have recently been inundated with dogs coming off the beaches with vomiting and diarrhoea.
"Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any correlation other than contact with the beach so maybe ensure they don’t eat anything on the beach and wash them off if they’ve been to the beach in case it is a toxin or similar.
"Personally until the local authorities have got to the bottom of it I would not recommend taking your pets on the beach for the foreseeable future.
"I have been in touch with governing bodies and they are currently looking into it.
"If your dog is showing symptoms please make the local authorities aware as well as seeking veterinary attention should your pet need it."
Ms Proud encouraged pet owners to be "vigilant".
She said: "I wouldn’t be surprised to see pets catching this just being near the beach ie the lines or cliffs etc, it's hard to avoid all these places its more about being careful and vigilant with your pets.
"It's currently unknown what it is and what is causing it - if it comes from the dogs eating stuff on the beaches or going into the water."
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs earlier today confirmed to the Northern Echo that it is aware of the incidents, saying it is in contact with the Animal and Plant Health Agency.
Since the warnings were shared on Facebook, numerous concerned dog owners have come forward with accounts of their own pets becoming ill after walking on the beach.
Numerous reports claim more than 150 dogs have been taken ill.
One Facebook user, Shelly Anderson, said: “My six-month-old Lab has had horrendous diarrhoea for the past four days, thankfully he’s now almost back to his usual self.
“I was going to contact the vets today if there was no improvement.
"We have walked on both the beach at Robin Hoods Bay and the railway line at Bay/Thorpe.”
Another user, Anne Lavery said: “My dog fell ill last weekend after being walked down the gare at Redcar ..five day's he was ill whilst in the vets there was also another dog who had been walked down there and was ill.”

Norma Dunham shared a similar experience, writing: "For days after visiting Robin Hood’s Bay and the perimeter of Whitby Abbey on New Year’s day, our dog vomited for days and just slept.
“The tide was in so we didn’t go onto the beach - lucky I guess.
"There was a lot of widely spread dog poo (lovely!) on the pavements leading up to the car park at RHB though.
Joanne Knight added: "Was in Whitby on January 2 and took our dog onto the beach about two hours after that she became unwell started vomiting and she was behaving like she was drunk like swaying it was awful.
"Rang emergency vets they said she could have eaten something off the beach. Was Awful."

Back to Projects
This $5.7 million project included the replacement of old, inefficient 385-ton steam-driven absorption chillers with a much larger 600-ton electric centrifugal chiller and upgrade of the chilled water distribution system to both Moffitt and Long hospitals. The multi-phase installation required close coordination and planning to mitigate the impact of shutdowns, maintain uninterrupted services, and to physically fit the new piping and equipment in the available space. BIM modeling was effectively used to plan and coordinate the design prior to construction. The new system saves more than 65m kBtu of energy per year and the project earned a $757,000 energy efficiency award from PG&E, as well as a 2013 Higher Education Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Award in the HVAC Retrofit category.

Diamond Green facility uses Honeywell technology to produce diesel fuel from waste feedstock.
Technology provider UOP LLC, a Honeywell company, says its UOP/Eni Ecofining process technology is now powering what it calls “the largest commercial advanced biofuel facility in the U.S.”
Honeywell says the Diamond Green Diesel facility in Norco, Louisiana, is now capable of producing more than 130 million gallons annually of diesel fuel made from inedible oils and other waste feedstocks.
Unlike some other forms of biodiesel, the “Honeywell Green Diesel” fuel produced using the UOP process “is chemically identical to petroleum-based diesel and can be used as a drop-in replacement in vehicles with no modifications,” according to a Honeywell news release.
The facility is a joint venture of Darling International Inc. and Diamond Alternative Energy LLC, a subsidiary of Valero Energy.
“Commercial production at the Diamond Green Diesel facility is a significant milestone for the renewable energy industry,” says Veronica May, vice president and general manager for Honeywell’s UOP Renewable Energy and Chemicals business unit. “UOP has leveraged 100 years of refining technology to make real alternative fuels, including Honeywell Green Diesel and Honeywell Green Jet Fuel, from a range of inedible biofeedstocks.”
John Roach, senior vice president at Valero, adds, “Both the performance of the Ecofining unit and the quality of the diesel produced has exceeded our expectations.”
Randall C. Stuewe, chairman and CEO at Darling International, comments, “The availability of sustainable feedstocks is a key driver for the continued growth of renewable fuels. One of the benefits of the Ecofining process is that the technology is capable of processing a variety of feedstocks collected and manufactured by Darling to produce high-quality Green Diesel.”
Fuel produced at the facility is designed to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Renewable Fuel Standard, which requires a minimum volume of transportation fuels sold in the U.S. to contain renewable fuel to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Diamond Green Diesel facility will produce more than 200 million “ethanol-equivalent-gallons per year” of biomass-based diesel as defined under the Renewable Fuel Standard.
UOP says it worked with Italy’s Eni S.p.A. to jointly develop the Ecofining process, which uses hydro-processing technology to convert non-edible natural oils and animal fats to Honeywell Green Diesel.

The CEO of Bollinger Motors, Robert Bollinger, unveiled the new four-door Bollinger B1 All-Electric SUV this summer. From its squared-off, rugged looks, it appears Bollinger B1 borrows a host of inspirations from the famous Land Rover Defender.
The only exception is that Bollinger takes its EV a couple of steps further with an all-new 4-door version. The inbound vehicle has the impeccable off-road capability as it’s built like an honest-to-goodness truck.
Bollinger B1 – Design, Space and Dimension
The first grainy images of the 4-door Bollinger B1 all-electric SUV have surfaced. These pictures show how it looks in an army green color, which Robert Bollinger asserts will be available at launch. As far as dimensions go, it measures 159 inches long with a 114-inch wheelbase. Regardless of the extended length, the B1 maintains its ground clearance at 15.5 inches. Hence, it becomes a perfect EV to take off-road ventures.
The B1 has adequate space that draws most of its adherents. Its two seats at the back can be detached, and the rear trunk is about 49 inches between the wheel wells. This space is good enough to accommodate 4×8-foot plywood sheets. A front trunk is also available because there’s no motor taking up space.
Furthermore, this car has a low center of gravity since the motors, batteries and almost all the electronics are stacked beneath the floor.
The next Bollinger B1 All-Electric SUV similarly bucks a high-tech trend common on new cars. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, an AUX input and a radio with an FM/AM receiver. It has no touchscreen and its dashboard is almost entirely analog. We can even see an analog battery-level indicator. A small LCD screen to the left is the only available digital display on this model.
Although B1 takes the low-tech approach, it is still an EV with plenty of power. In the dashboard, we find USB and 12-volt outlets along with a lot of standard 110-volt plugs throughout the truck. This, combined with an abundant space, makes the Bollinger B1 an attractive outdoor alternative to a Jeep.
Engine and Range
The B1 All-Electric SUV includes a dual-motor powertrain that yields up to 360 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. This drivetrain is good enough to push the truck to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds.
Note that the range varies depending on the specific battery setup. This is because Bollinger Motors is planning to sell the B1 in two distinct battery pack configurations. According to Bollinger, the standard 60kWh battery is good for about 120 miles of range. The automaker also avails a 100kWh battery option that reaches up to 200 miles of range.
Bollinger B1 – Price and Production Date
The Bollinger manufactures has promised to release pricing details later this year. At the moment, the Bollinger Motors is working to secure manufacturing in the United States.
Once this is finalized, deliveries on the B1 All-Electric SUV models are expected to begin in 19 months time. Keep your eyes open because we will update this space as soon as more feeds are available.

THE BIG ISSUE OF SELF BODY IMAGE
So self image. Well I actually have a good self image. I like who I am and accept all parts of my body. It was not always this way however.
When I was a teen and in my 20's I hated having my photo taken because I did not like how I look.
It took years to get past it, but I did and for many years now I've literally not cared what others think of how I look.
It is to the point that I have even posed nude for photos that where published on the internet. This despite the fact that with my extreme size, a certain part of my body don't look all that big.
As well I now have a lot of scars on my belly and still have no issue with people seeing this.
I think it helped that when I was living with my family my Dad, Brother and I would actually walk around the house nude after 9PM at night. We would even sit there and watch TV naked.
Mom however had issues and would never have been undressed in front of us all for one reason or the other. But everyone is different.
I have in my 30's and 40's many times been to nude friendly locations and spent the day or a weekend at these places. I think (pardon the pun) exposure therapy works well for improving body image. The more you are around others in the skin so to speak, the less you care about what others think about your body.
I have the belief that most of our body image issues are from the fact that the media and entertainment has made fun of people who are not "perfect" for many years. The reality that still today body shaming is acceptable in movies and TV shows does not help at all.
The image of what is supposed to be the perfect form distorts the minds of the young and being there is no possibility for most people to look like the models we see, they think they are ugly and can't accept their body.
Now there is a preferred body type for most people, but this has nothing to do with accepting people for who they are and accepting yourself for who you are - it is an attraction that most people can't actually help but have.
I think it's time to start teaching the young that they have the right to love themselves and to not accept the unobtainable body images that they see all the time, as being presented as "beautify and sexy". We need to make them realize that we people come in all shapes, sizes, colours and gender identity - as well as sexualities, and it's OK to not be what others think you should be.
Please try to love yourself for who and what you are. If it does no harm to others, it is acceptable. You are worthy of love and respect. You are valued. You matter. Love who you are.
P.S. I chose the title for a reason...

Comment on ONS' HPI for June 2015
Tue 18 Aug 2015
Peter Rollings, CEO of Marsh & Parsons, comments: "The flavour of property price growth across the country is more vanilla than some of the spicier rises we've become accustomed to, with overall average values increasing by only small measures in the month to June.
"Price rises in London continue to be overpowered by the East and South East for the moment, but theres a different mix of ingredients now at work in the capital. Costlier property taxes at the highest rungs of the market have forced London off the boil, and dampened the appetite in the market momentarily. There are signs that London buyers are starting to swallow these increased stamp duty costs, and during the second quarter of the year, we saw buyer registrations soar by 17% - up against a supply boost of just 10%. This fundamental imbalance will ensure price growth simmers on into the autumn, and in the Prime market weve already seen property values start to solidify again, recording the first quarterly rise since September 2014."
ONS House Price Index, June 2015
UK house prices increased by 5.7% in the year to June 2015, up from 5.6% in the year to May 2015.
House price annual inflation was 6.1% in England, 0.8% in Wales, 9.0% in Northern Ireland and -0.6% in Scotland.
Annual house price increases in England were driven by an annual increase in the East (9.2%) and the South East (7.7%).
Excluding London and the South East, UK house prices increased by 5.2% in the 12 months to June 2015.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, average house prices increased by 0.4% between May and June 2015.
In June 2015, prices paid by first-time buyers were 5.1% higher on average than in June 2014. For owner-occupiers (existing owners), prices increased by 6.0% for the same period.

Born in Osaka in 1958, Junji Sakamoto has set many of his 13 feature films, including his award-winning 1989 debut “Dotsuitarunen,” in his native Kansai. He arrived for our interview at the Takanawa Prince Hotel looking dapper in a retro-style suit that he later told me had been worn by an actor friend in a yakuza movie. Not quite 1947, but close enough. He spoke in a baritone voice that somehow seemed big for his slight frame — a good tool for the director of a heavily populated film like “Kono Yo no Soto E.”
How difficult was it to re-create the look and feel of the period?
It’s not a period I’m personally familiar with, so the big question for me was whether the film would be true to reality. No matter how many photos I looked at or books I read or documentary films I saw, I had not experienced that period myself.
I wanted to get the atmosphere right as far as possible. I wanted older people who remember those times to feel asthough they were in a time machine. I may have made mistakes on certain details, but I wanted to re-create the feel of the period accurately.
How well do you think you’ve succeeded? What have the older people who have seen it said?
Some have told me it’s like time traveling. Others said I did a good job, considering how young I am [laughs]. Nobody came out mad at all the mistakes. [laughs]
A lot of people said that jazz made them feel nostalgic — it wasn’t modern jazz but standards and swing. It really brought back the feeling of the period for them. People may have been poor then, but listening to the music of the time, including Japanese music, you get a feeling for how rich their emotional lives were.
Another thing that impressed me was how the actors, even the extras, looked to be of the period. In a lot of Japanese period dramas, the actors look plump and healthy, but in this film they looked lean and hungry. [laughs]
Mitch, the musician who played the trumpeter, lost 15 kg for the film [laughs]. Also, he’s a real jazzman, so he had the period feel for the music right.
Joe Odagiri, who played the drummer, is another real-life musician.
But the way jazz and rock drummers hold the sticks is different. Also the timing for the bass drum is different in rock and jazz, so having experience as a [rock musician] made it harder for him — he had to relearn some things.
Masato Hagiwara, who plays the lead, had no musical experience going into the film — he seems to have had it the hardest.
He practiced the sax for hours in a karaoke box [laughs]. He couldn’t practice at home — it would have been too loud.
We did a lot of work getting the sets to look period, but more important was to make the playing look real, not phony. The usual way is to shoot the hands of a pro doing the fingering and then shoot the actor’s face. We shot the actors actually playing. The music on the soundtrack is by professionals, but when we filmed the scenes [in the clubs], the actors were actually playing the instruments, not just fingering them.
You also paid a lot of attention to the process of how they learn to play jazz and finally become good at it.
In the beginning [of the film] they are playing badly. They aren’t just inexperienced — their hearts aren’t really in it. All they are thinking about is making money and becoming famous. They don’t care about the music itself.
Now that Japan’s Self-Defense Forces are on their way to Iraq, the movie is not a period piece, but very timely.
I don’t feel good about that. I wish it weren’t so timely.
You started planning the film nearly two years ago.
In the summer of 2002. At that time no one in Japan had any idea what would happen in Iraq. So I didn’t make the film to be timely. Now Japanese have to think about the changes going on in the world. Before, they felt those changes had nothing to do with them. Now we’re in a period when Japan has to become involved in the world — or rather is becoming involved whether it wants to or not. That includes the Middle East, of course.
Japanese can’t easily talk about their own country. They can talk about their own lives, but not their own country. They aren’t good at political discussion. They can become emotional, but can’t easily express what they’re thinking. Koreans and Chinese can do it, though.
Japanese are often afraid of being misunderstood when they talk about politics.
So they end up being vague [laughs]. You can’t tell if they’re saying yes or no [laughs].
They’re vague because they don’t want to hurt other people, I think. That’s a plus in some ways. They may be running away [laughs], but they aren’t being malicious. They’re afraid that if they speak out, they’ll be misunderstood — and do some harm.
The characters in the film, especially the ones played by Matsuoka and Shea Whigham, butt heads, though.
The Occupation forces brought democracy to Japan and tried to teach it to the Japanese, but the Japanese equated democracy with individualism — with everyone looking out for themselves. Until then Japanese had been taught that individualism was wrong — they had to unite together as one for the common good, with everyone thinking the same way. Then suddenly democracy came in — and people thought it was all right to do whatever they wanted. They shifted from one extreme to another.
All the main Japanese characters have shadows in their pasts, in their lives.
They’re all bearing burdens of one sort or another. Music offers them a way to ease those burdens.
Did you create their stories from your research, from listening to old jazzmen and so on?
I didn’t have specific models, but in the course of doing research I found stories that I added to the mix. For example, the Odagiri character lost members of his family in the Nagasaki bombing, but he’s still playing jazz for the Americans. I actually heard a story like that — and added it to Odagiri’s character
Shea Whigham’s character lost a brother in the battle of Leyte — so it’s not just the Japanese who have these shadows.
When I was writing the script I knew what I wanted to say about the Japanese character, but I wondered how I should write about the Americans. I did research, but I wondered what the Americans who had come with the Occupation forces were thinking and feeling. I had a problem with that.
I wondered about the casting of Peter Mullan — why a Scottish actor instead of an American?
There’s a tune “Danny Boy” that has a lot of meaning for [Mullan’s] character. It was originally an Irish tune — so for that reason I wanted to use, not an American, but someone from that part of the world, from Scotland. The character is not necessarily Irish American, though.
In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

Candor by Pam Bachorz
Candor is a perfect town. How you ask? Because you are what you hear. The children are brainwashed and made to be perfect children. One boy stands against this and, ironically, it is the same boy who is the poster child for this town, Oscar Banks. Oscar makes a living by sneaking kids out of Candor. This book is full of twists and turns, comedy and action, but is advisable for a teen audience.
I absolutely loved Candor with its intense plot development, rich characters and fantastic storyline I literally couldn't put it down so I read straight through the day and finished right before bed.

I really want to like The New Normal. It's the new comedy from
the creator of Glee, and it's
coming to E4. But I'm finding it a little difficult. Help me
The premise behind the series sounds solid enough: a gay couple
are seeking to have a child through a surrogate. It gets rainbow
points too - it's written by Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler, who are
both openly gay. Also, anything that One Million Moms doesn't
like, I feel like I should adore by default. They boycott Skittles
and Oreos after all, and those things are delicious.
But despite all this I can't help feeling that the show is a
little… uninspired. Come on guys, don't you think the jokes are a
little bit lazy? A gay couple wanting a baby as the latest fashion
accessory? A surrogate mother being compared to an Easybake Oven?
And let's not forget the quintessential "lesbians are ugly men"
joke. The joke is cut out of the short clip NBC is using to promote
the show, but the rest of the conversation is hardly better. Scroll
to the bottom of the page for the video. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Seriously, is this really the best clip NBC could have found to
advertise the series? Nana's hair joke is even stolen from Lucille
Bluth - who is a much more hilarious bigot, by the way. But maybe
I'm getting ahead of myself. After all, Adler
defends her co-writer in Vogue by saying, "He's literally
color-blind, gender-blind, homosexual-blind."
Literally colour-blind? That would explain the
Just kidding, I know what Adler is trying to say. But I find it a
little hard to believe. I don't know how a man can be ignorant of
race, and yet cast the show's only woman of colour into the role
of Sassy Black Female. I don't know how he can be gender-blind
when in Murphy-world, women are always irrational and their vaginas
look like "tarantula faces". And I don't know how he can be
homosexual-blind and then paint gay men as victims of homophobia
while having them simultaneously joke about how old lesbian couples
have permanent frowns and "gingerbread man bodies".
I hate to be the one to say it (wait, no I don't) but maybe Ryan
Murphy has kind of made a career out of exploiting stereotypes?
Like, a whole career. Being gay doesn't automagically make you
exempt from your moral obligation to other human beings and I'm not
really sure that just pointing out stereotypes does anything to
actually diminish them from being seen as legitimate. In many ways
it might just reinforce them in some people's eyes, especially if
it's coming from a member of the 'community'.
I'll give Murphy and Adler the benefit of the doubt, because I am
actually really excited to hear that Constance Zimmer and Leisha
Hailey have been cast as a lesbian couple later in the series. I'm
sure that means that lesbians will at least get a line to
themselves. But you know, just because a show has an actress from
The L Word doesn't mean it's lesbian friendly. (Have you
seen Sarah Shahi in Fairly Legal ?)
And you can't always trust Alice anyway. I think she killed

Review: The second volume in Toy Tonics' occasional Jockey Jams series is something of a gift to DJs. Although naturally rooted in deep house, each of the showcased tracks offers something distinctively different. So, while Felipe Gordon's "Rinogal" is an funk-fuelled house bumper built around an elastic, acid-fired synth bassline and trippy late night effects, Metropolitan Soul Museum's "Saab" is a delicate, warm-up friendly fusion of lilting synths, bubbly electronics and the kind of twinkling pianos frequently found on vintage Italian dream house records. The eclecticism continues elsewhere, too, from the Adonis-via-Rimini thrills of Jacky Mingo's wonderfully positive "Brothers Cup", to the jazzy warmth of Black Loops and analogue house bleeps of Jad's "Overpriced Kaiser Chips".
Review: We enthusiastically described Beats Of No Nation's first Dance Ideas EP as a "fabulous collection of tracks", so hopes are naturally high for this follow-up. Corbi kicks things off with the wonderfully fluid and groovy "OK, Tell Me", an ultra-deep and groovy house shuffler rich in jazz-funk guitars, swirling strings and punchy sampled horn stabs, before Levan unveils the bluesy, eyes-closed wonder that is "The Right Thing, The Hardest Thing", a kind of vocal-free Sade record for the disco-house generation. Label co-owner Jad Lee confidently skips into jazz-house territory on the piano-fired warmth of "Jazz hands You'll Never Understand", while Olywok takes us into space via the nu-disco tinged, house tempo Motor City futurism of "Maintain".
Review: The cheeky scamps at Editorial can usually be relied on to bring the goodness. This latest split EP is, predictably, bulging with highlights. Ed Wizard and Disco Double Dee drop a bit of deep house/rubbery disco fusion on the head-nodder's fave "The Way You Move", while Aussie Jad & The Ladyboy ops for a sinewy, seductive, ultra-deep house vibe on his sumptuous "Love Is". B-Jam's "Have Some" is an almost X-rated chunk of electrofunk cut-up madness, all backwards cuts, grunting grooves and stuttering edits. There's a dash of straight-up disco in the form of Joutro Mundo's stretched-out "Body Heat", while Tonbe impresses with "Hot Ivy", a hip-grinding slice of electrofunk badness with analogue synths by the shipload.
Disco Hold Down (6th Borough Project dub) - (7:07) 125 BPM
2 Getha (Neva mix) - (6:15) 118 BPM
Review: Jad Lee aka Jad & The follows last year's EPs on Centre Source and his own Beats Of No Nation imprint with this fine melodic record for Fina. Inspired by US deep house, Lee skilfully navigates a path between raw Moodymann disco and Kai Alce depth on the swoon-some "2 Getha (4 Eva Mix)", while on "Twist Club", the Australian artist opts for a deeper path, fusing subtle Chicago drums with jazzy keys. Although "Disco Hold Down" is rougher, with Lee focusing on scatty drums and a live funk bass, the underlying style on Twist Club is deeply melodic and deliciously cosmic.
Review: Fresh from an inspired EP on Beats of No Nation, Jad Lee returns to regular home Toy Tonics with another rock-solid, four-track salvo. The Aussie adventurer hits the ground running with "Strings That Never Win", a rolling deep house/disco house hybrid full of attractive orchestral samples, crunchy Clavinet lines and drowsy backing vocals. He brilliantly doffs a cap to vintage Italian dream house on the rather luscious and kaleidoscopic "Accidental Audi Driver", before wrapping a bustling, slack-tuned house groove with dewy-eyed melody lines and rubbery synth-bass on the deeper "Familiar Family Photo". Best of all, though, is loved-up, synth-heavy closer "Tops Off FM Radio", which sits somewhere between lucid Balearic deep house and soft-touch nu-disco.
Review: Australian producer Jad "& The" Lee has decided to lose his imaginary Ladyboy, which proudly stood at the end of his production moniker throughout the first four years of his career. Perhaps it's a sign of his growing musical maturity, which is much in evidence throughout this pleasingly spacey and melodious EP. There are three original productions to sink your teeth into: the Detroit techno-influenced, analogue deep house of "Theatrical Trailer", the loose-limbed house breakbeats, TB-303 bass and new age melodies of "Low Budget Action Movie" and the saucer-eyed wonder that is "Oscar Nom", where 8-bit melodies cluster around a jazzy, broken house groove. Also worth checking is Astral Deejay's wonderfully deep, woozy and loved-up remix of "Theatrical Trailer", which may be the EP's standout moment.
Marlon Hoffstadt - "Heavily Dancin On The Ones And Twos" - (6:45) 126 BPM
Jesse Bru - "Tonite" - (7:01) 124 BPM
Jad & The - "Gospel Five" - (5:04) 118 BPM
Turenne - "Triplett" - (4:40) 120 BPM
Review: Federic Lange's AOW just keeps on bringing the heat. Their eighty EP is no exception. Sometimes the heat is blazing with vibrant synth flames (Hoffstadt's "Heavenly Dancing"), sometimes it's smouldering MAW-style (Jesse Bru's "Tonite"), sometimes it's smoking, jazzy and moderately jacked (Jad & The's "Gospel Five") and sometimes it's plain scorching (Turenne's "Triplett"). In summary: hot.
Review: Beats Of No Nation is an Australian label based out of Brisbane, run by Jad Lee & Dom Bird. They intend to present weird and wonderful sounds from around the world. Label boss Jad & The appears with the dusty hip-hop influenced house sound of "Outside Here Man" - no doubt inspired by his experiences in Berlin. Glasgow's Octo Champ delivers an oddball groove on "Evoo" as does WHATEVER on the infectious bump 'n shuffle of "Stacy". Finally, Ed Woods' "Passing Chords" sees the London based producer deliver an emotive excursion in late night deepness and was definitely our pick of this fabulous bunch of tracks.
Review: To celebrate notching up ten years in the game, London blog and party-turned-record label SlothBoogie has decided to offer-up their most ambitious release to date: an epic collection of previously unheard cuts from a mixture of imprint regulars and like-minded friends. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, with highlights including the sparkling jazz-funk-meets-deep house sunshine of Levan's "U R Beautiful In The Face", the deep, breakbeat-driven dreaminess of Philippa's "That's What I Mean By Free", the piano solo-heavy disco-house bump of Leatherette's "Your Love", and the dub disco-meets-acid house heaviness of "Rewind Run" by Pablot. Throw in similarly impressive contributions from Kassian, Luvless, Casino Times and Soul Wun (the classic jazz-house of "Thank You, St Germain") and you have a must-have collection.
Review: Mushroom House is the Toy Tonics series for house and electronic music with a weirdo-afro-psychedelic touch and featuring only exclusive productions. Following up several editions on vinyl that were well received, you can now find all the tracks compiled on this digital compilation. Curated by Berlin by way of Munich duo Munk, you'll hear such 'schatzis' as the Red Axes remix of bossmen Munk's "The Bolero Bunuel" which is totally trippy, local hero Hugo Capablanca with T Keeler on the mariachi vibes of "No Hay Ritmo" and a killer remix by the one and only Joe Claussell - The Joaquin Joe Claussell's Electric Afrika version to be exact - of Karl Hector & Nicolas Tounga's "Ngunga Yeti Fofa".
Review: Not content with serving up regular doses of ear-pleasing nu-disco, the Future Disco crew has decided to start sound-tracking days spent lounging on the beach. Somewhat predictably, this second Beach Life selection is packed with seriously steamy, sun-kissed grooves. While this epic digital package does contain two (un-credited) DJ mixes, the real joy is the expansive - not to mention eclectic - selection of DJ-friendly, unmixed tracks. Check, for example, the sun-down, jazz-funk influenced bliss of Folamour's "L'homme Loup", the head-nodding lounge warmth of Snacks' "Daydream", the gentle Balearic nu-disco of Sirs, the lo-fi deep house haziness of DJ Boring and COEO, and the sand-in-the-shoes shuffle of Eli Escobar's delicious remix of Kraak and Smaak's "U R Freak". Throw in a swathe of tasty, laidback but floor-friendly deep house jams and you have a solid collection of serious summer jams.
Review: According to those behind the label, Toy Tonics' Mushroom House compilation was inspired by "the new wave of weirdo house" that's inspired by "ethno, Afro and psychedelic music". The collection's 15 tracks include a swathe of new or previously unheard cuts from the likes of Auntie Flo, Daniel Avery & Justin Robertson, Daniel Haaksman, Hyenah and Drrrtyhaze. With such a strong line-up, it's no surprise that the music is uniformly excellent. Highlights include, but are not limited to, DJ Koze's superb Hudson River Dub of WhoMadeWho's eccentric "Keep Me In My Plane", the epic build-ups and trippy, dubbed-out riffs of Munk and Rebolledo's "Surf Smurf", and the psychedelic acid attack of Massimiliano Pagliara's remix of Barotti's "She Once Knew".
Review: Berlin based imprint Toy Tonics serve us with a new series entitled Mushroom House which will explore some mutant strains of house music, drawing in a diverse range of influences and boy are we excited! Starting out with the legendary Danish trio WhoMadeWho with the deep and smacked out DJ Koze remix of their track "Keep Me In My Plane". Also on offer is Australian act and the Sonar Kollektiv affiliated Jad & The Ladyboy who offer us the jagged and exotic latin flair of "Gervinho", the dark dancefloor drama of Berlin/Mexico collaboration by Munk & Rebolledo "Surf Smurf" (Rebolledo Short version) and Italian duo Alien Alien with the emotive Detroit techno influenced "Uhura" for something a bit deeper and futuristic.

Tips & Tricks — Top 5 UAD Plug-Ins for Mixing Guitar
Whether you're looking to pay homage to the breakthrough tones of guitar gods such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, The Police's Andy Summers, and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, or to create your own trailblazing new sounds, the UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins Platform offers a wealth of guitar processing treasures — including software emulations of classic Roland units like the Roland® RE-201 Tape Echo, BOSS® CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, and Roland Dimension D spatial effect. UA even offers a plug-in version what is perhaps the Holy Grail of guitar echo effects: the awesome EP-34 Tape Echo, a spot-on recreation of the legendary Maestro Echoplex, a favorite of Hendrix, Van Halen and other greats.
For this feature, we'll take a look at ways to exploit the magic of these plug-ins while mixing your guitars, and we'll also explore how to use the UAD Neve® 1073 and 1176LN plug-ins to sculpt and refine those sounds with EQ and compression. What's more, we'll be creating an original track from scratch to help illustrate how these plug-ins can work together during mixdown to deliver a wide range of tones and textures.
In fact, before we get started, here's a listen to the final result.Final Mix
Be sure to give a thorough read to the UAD Powered Plug-Ins User's Guide to familiarize yourself with the functions and workflow of each of these plug-ins. And please note that UAD plug-ins are best used during mixdown, not tracking. In the meantime, let's journey back through the '60s, '70s and '80s, and dive into a few of UA's coolest guitar-centric effects.
To get our track started, I've imported a nice drum groove and a solid bassline into stereo tracks in my favorite DAW, Logic Pro 9, both loops courtesy of the excellent Pro Sessions Liquid Cinema: Hollywood Players collection from M-Audio. The first guitar part that I'll play over our groove is a simple Cm9 to F9 change, using the kind of arpeggiation that Andy Summers used on classic Police songs like "Message In A Bottle" and "Every Breath You Take." Here's the completely dry part without any chorus effect at all.Guitar Dry
I began shaping my sound with the CE-1 preset "Mellow Chorus," but then upped both the chorus Depth (literally, the amplitude of the LFO) and Rate (the frequency of the LFO) to achieve stronger pitch modulation, which sounds nice on these longer, hanging chords. I also notched up the Intensity (essentially, a wet/dry control) a few ticks to make the effect more pronounced. The result sounds a bit seasick at first, but adds a nice shimmering texture once it's in the mix.
An instance of the UAD 1176LN Limiting Amplifier Plug-In helps round out the sound's top end, and gives it a little extra punch, without tapping out my CPU or creating latency. I started with the 1176LN preset "Guitar Shine," which has a slow attack, so that the notes punch nicely, and I increased the Release time just a bit to let the notes swell.Guitar Wet
The UAD Boss CE-1 really captures the analog quality of Summers' late-'70s and early-'80s tone, as well as the sounds of players like King Crimson's Robert Fripp and Robert Smith of the Cure. Chorus was so ubiquitous in the Eighties, in fact, that the sound of the CE-1 (later replaced by the more compact design of the Boss CE-2) could be heard virtually everywhere, from The Fixx to Crowded House to Flock of Seagulls.
The CE-1 is as revered for its lush vibrato sound as its killer choruses; it does a wonderful job of approximating a Leslie rotating speaker sound, as heard on tracks like Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun," The Beatles "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and many other classics. For my picked minor chord extensions, I called up a "Medium Lush Vibrato" preset, turned up the Intensity for more color, and panned the sound a bit to the right to play off the Summers-y straight chorus part. (It's easy to tweak the CE-1 in real-time, too: switching from Chorus to Vibrato is as easy as "stepping" on the right hand footswitch!)
Andy Summers was fond of using the Maestro Echoplex tape echo device for his delay sounds. The original tape-based echo boxes literally had a loop of magnetic tape in them, and it was the distance between the devices' playback and record heads that determined the delay time. The Echoplex EP-3 and EP-4 featured a sliding lever that allowed you to change that distance in real-time, and the UAD EP-34 plug-in preserves that function. For now though, we're simply going to thicken and spread out our Summers-y part a bit with the UAD EP-34, which brings together the best of Maestro's classic EP-3 and EP-4 models.
In homage to Summers, the UA engineers even created a preset called "Can't Stand Losing You Tape," which uses a short delay time of 269 milliseconds, a moderate low-end roll-off and high-frequency boost, and a slight pan of the echo to the right. I've kicked up the Echo Volume so that the effect is more pronounced. I've also added an instance of the EMT® 140 Plate Reverberator Plug-In to my auxiliary bus to add a hint of classic plate reverb to the stereo spectrum.Guitar EP-34
Since its invention in the late-'50s by Mike Battle, the Echoplex has been popular with virtually every generation and style of players. Its applications span rockabilly slapback, to dub-reggae sound effects, to psychedelic-approved ambience, which is how Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd's David Gilmour often employed it. Eddie Van Halen was likewise fond of adding dimension and vibe to his sound with the Echoplex. Let's see how the EP-34 sounds on some heavy '70s-style lead guitar.
I've used the EP-34's Sync switch to line up my echoes in eighth notes to my track tempo (a feature you won't find on the old hardware units!), and I've started with the preset "Sir Echo," which features a fairly short delay time, cuts out low-end frequencies and cranks the highs. Again, notice how panning the echo slightly to one side really opens up the sound, and allows my dry signal to cut through.70s Guitar
Though it has reportedly been popular with artists from Peter Gabriel to Rush's Alex Lifeson to INXS, no one is quite sure why the Dimension D sounds so darn good. Technically a stereo chorus effect, the Dimension D's real strength is the way it creates doubling effects that seem to exploit the width of the stereo field, adding "dimension" to guitars, keyboards, and even vocals, without the pitch modulation common on most other choruses. I like to think of it as "invisible reverb" or "ghost doubling."
Here I've chosen to use it on a funk guitar part, much like how it was likely used by the Talking Heads in the '80s on tunes like "Burning Down the House."
Try throwing on some headphones; you'll hear just a hint of the sound seemingly coming from the hard left and the hard right, when in fact, I've only got it panned just a touch to the left.Fun Lick
The controls on the Dimension D are pretty bone simple –– five colored buttons that engage the different "dimension modes." They can be used in various combinations, and range in intensity as you select from left to right. For my mono guitar figure, I've chosen to combine 2+4 in Mono mode, but the effect is decidedly stereo-like.
To lift my funk guitar out of the bass frequencies, and help it cut through, I've added an instance of the Neve 1073 Classic Console EQ Plug-In to the channel insert to sculpt the sound with equalization. I've moved the 1073's blue right-hand knob to a low-frequency cut at 100 Hz to lose any woofiness at the bottom, added a bit of gain in the midrange at 3.2 Khz for articulation in the mix, and kicked the highs up just a touch to create "air" on top.
A little 1176 compressor also helps fatten and smooth my guitar figure; I've chosen a fairly quick attack and release time.
While the RE-201 has three tape heads, instead of just playback/record like the EP-34, it shares many of the same basic feature set of the EP-34, and it excels at gritty tape delay textures and big ambiences, as well as shorter rockabilly-style slapbacks. The RE-201 is especially famous for those cascading, regenerating echo clusters that dub reggae producers like Lee "Scratch" Perry liked to use on snare hits and vocals. Technically, these are "self-oscillations," created when you raise the Intensity level past a given point at which the echoes repeat back on themselves, creating a feedback loop.
You can hear this effect in bands as disparate as The Congos, Jane's Addiction, Air, and it also shows up in Radiohead's music. Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood makes no secret of his beloved original RE-201, which is heard all over the classic LP OK Computer, notably on the lovely mandolin-like lines and lurching effects of "Airbag."
Like Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt, King Crimson's Robert Fripp, and many other art-rock players, I've opted to pair the Echoplex up with an EBow in order to create ambient, sustaining textures and melody over my track's intro. Like Greenwood, I'm going to tweak the Intensity and Repeat rate knobs to high levels on the RE-201 during my performance, in order to create some dramatic self-oscillating effects. I've gone ahead and automated these changes in my Logic arrange window; no doubt your DAW will allow you to do the same.EBow
Using the big Mode Selector knob, I've set my RE-201 to Mode 9, which exploits the plug-in's Echo and Reverb circuits simultaneously, using tape heads 2 and 3 for more complex oscillations. My part benefits from the RE-201's lush reverb, panned hard left, and Echo, panned hard right. With headphones, you can really hear how these reflections spread out.
(One note: the RE-201's Peak Level LED will light, and the VU meter will hit the red, if your input signal is too high. Try to keep this level down, especially when pushing the Intensity levels, and watch your overall volume, as these "self-oscillations" can suddenly become very loud.)
Less glamorous perhaps than the echo effects, the Universal Audio 1176 Limiting Amplifier makes all of these great effects sound even better. That's why I've added it to every guitar channel in my humble little production here, including the bass. When my Hendrix-inspired solo needed a little extra boost and presence in the mix, the 1176 gave it what it needed. When my Police-y ninth chords needed a little more warmth and "pushed-air" effect, the 1176 gave them that. Likewise, it helped my funk comping find its place in the mix, and it was exactly what I needed to tame some of the harsher peaks in the self-oscillating echoes from the RE-201. While UA's presets are good places to start, you'll find that the plug-in's front panel is very simple, and useful sounds are easy to come by. Partnered with an EQ like the Neve 1073, it's a significant tool in the guitarist's kit.
And what the heck — since we're paying homage to classic rockers, let's strap a Studer® A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder Plug-In to the master output for some sweet tape saturation, using the preset "Classic Rock," which emulates the sound of Scotch 3M 250-style tape at 15 IPS (inches per second).
My final track — let's call it "The Voodoo Radio Police" — combines all of these plug-ins, textures and tones over the course of its arrangement:Final Mix
So there you have it. And these are just some of plug-ins on the UAD platform that can help you easily get classic and cutting-edge sounds for your guitar.

Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, in cooperation with the International Film Initiative of Bangladesh (IFIB), organized the screening of the Shahneoyaj Cacoly-directed film “Nodijon” (The River of Colours) on Sunday, December 15 at Goethe-Institut Bangladesh auditorium.
The event was joined by President of the International Film Initiative of Bangladesh (IFIB) Samia Zaman, Dhaka University’s Associate Professor of the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies and actor Wahida Mollick, the film’s actor Pran Roy and director Shahneoyaj Cacoly.
Samia Zaman, in her welcoming speech, said “Almost a year has passed since we started ‘Through Her Eyes’ Film Screening series, which has given us the opportunity to come together regularly to watch and discuss films made by women. A bold film about social injustice against women, ‘Nodijon’ again reminded me about why we thought it was important to have this space.”
The film “Nodijan”, deals with the social and marital consequences of a man divorcing his wife by using the oral 'talaq'; first suspecting her of adultery and then realising his mistake and wanting her back.
Followed by the screening, filmmaker Shahneoyaj Cacoly and actor Pran Roy spoke during a lively Q&A discussion session, moderated by Wahida Mollick.
Marking the occasion of the 49th Victory Day of the country, the artistes of Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra (Free Bengal Radio Centre) reunited and performed at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) on Sunday.
Featuring a series of performances at BSA’s National Theatre Hall by artistes of the only radio broadcasting centre of Bengali nationalist forces during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, programme was presided by eminent journalist - cultural personality and head of news of then Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra, Kamal Lohani- and joined by BSA director general Liaquat Ali Lucky, music composer and instrumentalist Jahangir Hayat Khan, singer Kalyani Ghosh, Anup Bhattacharya and Rafiqul Alam.
Recalling the emotion of the time, Kamal Lohani said “The 1971 liberation war of Bangladesh saw a ‘never-seen-before’ kind of activism and patriotism from the people all over the country, and Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra was the soul of that united body. We had been lucky to contribute in our liberation war through our talents and cultural works.”
Artistes from BSA presented several tremendous dance and musical performances, while renowned singers of Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra including Fakir Alamgir, Kaderi Kibria, Rupa Forhad, Moloy Kumar Ganguly, Timir Nandi, Shaheen Samad, Indra Mohan Rajbongshi, Rafiqul Alam, Bulbul Mahlanbish and Dalia Nawshin enthralled the audiences with their solo songs, written on the liberation war.
Artist Ashraful Alam performed a live, on stage news presentation of Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra, recreating the palpitating yet majestic notion and emotion of the war-period when people used to depend on radio (the only broadcasting entertainment medium available during that time) news to get daily updates on the war.
Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy’s (BSA) special exhibition on the life and works of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, titled ‘Sheikh Hasina – Bangladesh Er Shopnosharathi’ concluded on Sunday at the National Art Gallery.
S M Rezaul Karim, Housing and Public Works Minister, attended the closing ceremony as chief guest while Ashim Kumar Ukil, Member of Parliament from Netrokona-3, was present as the special guest.
Presided by BSA Director General Liaquat Ali Lucky, the closing ceremony was also joined by Honorary president of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) Ramendu Majumdar and Dhaka University’s Faculty of Fine Arts Professor Jamal Ahmed.
Portraying the eventful and celebrated life, struggles and notable works of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the exhibition is featuring 231 artworks, 133 paintings, 4 sculpture arts, 5 video installations, 10 discussion meetings and a 32/43 feet long portrait painting of the PM, completed on 72 canvases.
Initially set to end on October 27, the exhibition was first extended till November 15 and then November 30. Based on positive crowd reaction, Shilpakala authorities decided to extend the timeline thrice.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Speaker of the Parliament Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury on September 28 at National Theatre Hall of Shilpakala.
President of Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee Shahriar Kabir has said any denial of the arbitrary killing of mass people, including country’s brightest minds, during the genocide of 1971 should be protested and brought under the law.
“Our freedom fighters, including the country’s brightest minds and brave hearts, always stood for the independence of Bangladesh. So, the Pakistani occupation forces murdered them showing highest-ever cruelty. We need to take firm stand against any denial of that brutal genocide,” he said while speaking at a seminar titled ‘Reasons behind genocide in Bangladesh’s Liberation War and punishment for the exterminators’ at the Bangla Academy on Saturday.
The seminar was arranged at Poet Shamsur Rahman Seminar Hall of the academy, marking the Martyred Intellectuals Day.
“The genocide of 71 can’t be compared to any other genocide in the world. Even the infamous World War-II was less scary than our Liberation War and genocide of 1971. The Pakistani occupation forces carried out the massacre for only nine months,” Shahriar said.
He also underscored the need for realising international recognition of this genocide through collaborative efforts.
Bangla Academy President and National Professor Dr Anisuzzaman and its Director General Habibullah Siraji also spoke at the event.
“The massacre of the intellectuals was at its peak in December and even continued after independence, but it started way back in March of 1971. All those martyred intellectuals are gems of the nation and they’ll always be remembered in our independent Bangladesh,” Prof Anisuzzaman said.
Habibullah Siraji expressed his gratitude to the martyred intellectuals on behalf of the academy, acknowledging that they had always been intellectually and soulfully connected to the institution.
A one-minute silence was observed prior to the event to homage to the martyred intellectuals.
After that, eminent cultural personality Syed Hasan Imam recited poems written on the Liberation War by Abu Hena Mostafa Kamal and Abul Hasan.
Apart from the seminar, the academy paid tributes to the martyred intellectuals placing floral wreaths at their graves and Martyred Intellectuals Memorial.

The battle for Earth concludes as Sheridan leads his forces to Earth to confront Clark's forces in an all out battle. Meanwhile Marcus learns of the alien device Franklin used to heal Garibaldi when ...
In the year 2258, it is ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. Commander Sinclair takes command of a giant five-mile-long cylindrical space station, orbiting a planet in neutral space. At a crossroads of interstellar commerce and diplomacy, Cmdr Sinclair (2d season Captain Sheridan) must try to establish peace and prosperity between various interstellar empires, all the while fighting forces from within the Earth Alliance. It is a precarious command, particularly given that sabotage led to the destruction of Babylon stations 1, 2, and 3 and 4 vanished without trace. Written by

Robert Foxworth, who played General Hague during Season 2, was supposed to return for "Babylon 5: Severed Dreams (#3.10)" (1996). However he got booked on an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993) that same week. So they re-wrote the script, killed off his character and brought in Bruce McGill as his aide, Major Ryan. Oddly enough, Foxworth's Deep Space Nine character attempted a coup on Earth, whereas his Babylon 5 character was a loyalist fighting against a coup on Earth. Also, in a Stargate SG-1 (1997) episode, Foxworth's character was nearly the victim of a coup on his home world, and in an Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) episode, he attempted yet another coup on the planet Vulcan.

It's a shame I couldn't get this one from the begginig. This is THE Sci-Fi show (if you don't count The X Files as Sci-Fi). It is way better than Star Trek: it didn't have the technological chit chat; human race was weak and corrompted, yet optimistic and full of potential; realistic to the bone, in 200 and so years that could be our world; an evolving story and characters that made you believe they were real; not as many races as in ST (actually it is better this way) but that differenced each other in something else than the ears; a philosophical, political, chaotic universe. Great acting and writing, many but many characters that carried on a story that was about nothing else than life and death.

A close contact is someone who was within 6 feet of a person with COVID-19 for at least 15 minutes over a 24-hour period, starting from 2 days before symptoms appeared (or, for someone who tested positive for COVID-19 but does not have symptoms, 2 days prior to their positive test) until the time the infected person is isolated.
You are also a close contact if:
You provided care at the home of someone who has COVID-19.
You had direct physical contact with someone who has COVID-19 (such as hugging or kissing them) or you shared eating or drinking utensils with them.
A person who has COVID-19 sneezed, coughed, or somehow got respiratory droplets on you.
Yes, you are still considered a close contact even if you were wearing a mask while you were around someone with COVID-19. Studies suggest masks can offer good protection to the wearer, as well as help to protect other people in case you are infected, but they are not 100% sure to stop you from getting the virus or spreading it to others.
No, California's contact tracing program does not use any cell phone tracking technology. Laboratories who identify positive cases are required to provide contact information to Public Health. Someone from your local public health department will speak privately with you. All information is confidential and protected by California's strict privacy laws. They may stay in touch to make sure your symptoms aren't getting worse.
You can activate CA Notify, California's exposure notification system, by enabling notifications in your iPhone's settings or downloading CA Notify onto your Android phone. Your privacy is protected: this system does not track your personal information or your location. You will receive an alert if you were near another CA Notify user who tests positive for COVID-19, and you can click on links to get information on how to keep yourself and your loved ones safe if you have been exposed. For details, see the CA Notify website or call 888-421-9457 (888-4C19-HLP).
Your local health department can communicate with you in many different languages.
Visit the Testing page. You can search for testing locations there using your zip code. Your local health department website may have additional testing sites listed.
Get tested immediately. Isolate yourself while waiting for your test result, in case you are infected and can spread the virus to others. If your test result is positive, remain in self-isolation until:
at least 10 days have passed since symptoms started, AND
you have had no fever for at least 24 hours, without taking any fever-reducing medicine, AND
your symptoms (like cough and shortness of breath) have improved.
If your test results are negative, you may still have COVID-19 and should continue self-isolating. Contact your medical provider to discuss your symptoms, especially if they worsen, and to get advice on when to do follow-up testing and how long to isolate.
You should get tested when you learn you have been exposed to COVID-19. Quarantine yourself while waiting for your test results and contact your local health department for contact tracing and quarantine support. If you test negative and continue to have no symptoms, you should remain in self-quarantine but should test again 5-7 days after your last exposure.
You do not have to quarantine or get tested even after close contact, if at least one of these is true:
You were fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before your recent exposure and have had no symptoms. Exception: if you live or work in a healthcare setting or certain other shared living or high density workplace settings (like a dormitory, homeless shelter, correctional facility, or food processing plant), you may need to get tested. Follow your local health department or workplace guidelines.
If you tested positive but have no symptoms, you should isolate at home for at least 10 days after the date of your test.
If you develop symptoms, you should stay home until:
- at least 10 days have passed since symptoms started, AND
- you have had no fever for at least 24 hours, without taking any fever-reducing medicine, AND
- your symptoms (like cough and shortness of breath) have improved
If you have symptoms after being exposed to COVID-19, you should isolate whether you have tested positive or negative, have not tested, are fully vaccinated, or had COVID-19 before. If you tested negative, contact your medical provider to discuss your symptoms, especially if they worsen, and to get advice on when to do follow-up testing and how long to isolate.
You should still quarantine at home for 10 days. If you live or work in a healthcare setting, follow your local health department or workplace guidelines.
Close contacts who have never had any symptoms may discontinue quarantine after Day 10 from the date of last exposure without testing.
Close contacts who were fully vaccinated when exposed, or who tested positive for COVID-19 within the 3 months before their recent exposure, do not have to quarantine if they have not had any new symptoms since the recent exposure. They should monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days following their last exposure to COVID-19.
If you are released from quarantine before Day 14 after exposure, you must:
Monitor yourself daily for COVID-19 symptoms through Day 14. If symptoms occur, immediately self-isolate, get tested, and contact your medical provider to discuss your symptoms, especially if they worsen.
Wear a mask around others, continue to wash your hands frequently, and stay at least 6 feet from others through Day 14.
Contact tracing in schools is driven by local policies and conducted in collaboration with each school's local health department (LHD). Local public health departments will be the primary point of contact for schools to obtain more information about local contact tracing requirements and resources.
CDPH is supporting LHDs in their efforts to support their local schools as they reopen through:
Training for LHD staff to enhance their school collaborations
Training state employees as school specialists to expand local capacity, by triaging school-related requests, managing data, and assisting with contact tracing
Providing technical support to assist LHDs in managing school-affiliated COVID-19 exposures and outbreaks
The California Safe Schools For All Hub has additional resources and information related to COVID-19 and schools.

The structure of the O-antigenic polysaccharide from Escherichia coli O35 has been investigated with the aid of NMR spectroscopy, sugar and methylation analyses. The sequence of the sugar residues could be determined by NOESY and heteronuclear-multiple-bond-connectivity NMR experiments. The polysaccharide is composed of hexasaccharide repeating units with the following structure, where Rha and GalNAcAN represent rhamnose and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-galacturonamide, respectively : 3)-β- D-GlcpNAc-(13)-α- L-Rhap-(12)-α- L-Rhap-(13)-α- L-Rhap-(12)-α- L-Rhap-(1
The O-antigen of Escherichia coli O35 is similar to the O-specific polysaccharide from Salmonella arizonae O62, which instead has a terminal 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α- D-galacturonic acid residue. Immunochemical analyses using a rabbit antiserum specific for the Salmonella arizonae O62 O-antigen showed an identical reactivity with both lipopolysaccharides.

Sherry Musci and her husband have created a colorful garden setting in NY state.
"My name is Sherry Musci and my husband and I live at the south end of Skaneateles Lake in New York. I consider myself a gardener, but weak in landscape design. I compensate for this with color and abundance. In July we had to leave our home and temporarily reside in Buffalo, NY, so I took pictures of my garden before we left to help me cope. I worried because this was an exceptionally dry summer and expected my garden to be a disaster. I was able to get home a few times and was pleasantly surprised so say the least how well my garden did on neglect. Sorry but I had to include a picture of my garden helper!"
