Anaemia cases among women and children remain stubbornly high worldwide, according to a major new analysis.
Researchers from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Seattle, USA, and collaborators from the Global Burden of Disease analysed global anaemia data from 1990–2021.
The analysis has revealed a complex picture of how key factors play into the divergence in success stories among men, women, and children, the researchers say.
Anaemia affected nearly 2 billion people in 2021, with 31.2% of women having the condition compared with 17.5% of men.
However, the sex disparity was particularly marked when they examined the reproductive years, ages 15-49, where anaemia affected 33.7% of women compared to 11.3% of men.
Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia have the greatest burden. In 2021, Western sub-Saharan Africa (47.4%), South Asia (35.7%), and Central sub-Saharan Africa (35.7%) had the highest anaemia prevalence, while the regions with the lowest anaemia are Australasia (5.7%), Western Europe (6%), and North America (6.8%).
The findings are reported in The Lancet Haematology.
Senior study author Dr Nick Kassebaum, head of IHME’s Neonatal and Child Health team and professor in anaesthesiology at the University of Washington, said: “From this 30-year study, we know the global picture around anaemia has improved, but there are still wide disparities when you narrow the focus on geography, gender, and age.
“We modelled 37 underlying causes for anaemia. It’s very important for clinicians to treat these causes in parallel to the anaemia itself. We hope they use these data to design more comprehensive intervention and treatment plans, especially for the most vulnerable women of reproductive age, children, and the elderly.”
The study found that gynaecological disorders and maternal haemorrhage were important contributors to anaemia burden among women of reproductive age, although dietary iron deficiency remained the largest contributor to anaemia for this group.
For children under five years, the main cause was also dietary iron deficiency. However, in youngsters, hemoglobinopathies, other infectious diseases, HIV/AIDS, and malaria were also important contributors in geographic locations where these diseases are prevalent.
Previous studies have shown that anaemia is associated with increased rates of anxiety and depression and higher rates of preterm labour, postpartum haemorrhage, low birthweight, short gestation, stillbirth, and infections for both child and mother.
Regional variation in disease distribution was also reflected in cause-specific anaemia burden. For example, HIV/AIDS was the second largest contributor to years lost to disability (YLDs) for anaemia in Southern sub-Saharan Africa. Anaemia due to malaria was most prominent in the Central, Eastern, and Western sub-Saharan Africa regions.

摘要：The current of 12V automobile powernet is too large too improve the alternator's power to meet with the increasing requirement of the automobile electrical equipment. The promising 42V higher electrical system voltage will be required to meet these ever increasing loads and will help to improve the power delivery efficiency. This paper provides the projections of some approaches that could be employed are compared to provide the electrical power to meet the electrical load. In addition, a key component to produce 42V electricity-a three-phase automobile alternator with combined stator is provided. It is a brushless alternator thus the reliability, limited lifetime and low field current of the brush is avoid. To output steady 42V power, the three-phase regulator is designed. The generator and regulator experiment is carried out on test platform. And the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the generator and regulator.


Florida's Governor Issues State Of Emergency As Tropical Storm Elsa Closes In
Tropical Storm Elsa is expected to drench Cuba and Jamaica on Sunday before tracking towards Florida on Monday. The storm has already battered the eastern Caribbean and could bring dangerous conditions to other island nations before making its way to the mainland.
Forecasters say up to 15 inches of rain could fall in parts of Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica, with some areas picking up 4 to 10 inches.
Flash flooding and mudslides are possible throughout the region and storm surges are expected to be 3 to 5 feet above normal tide levels along the southern coast of Cuba, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The White House announced on Sunday that President Biden had declared that an emergency exists in Florida, and ordered federal assistance to supplement state, tribal and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Elsa.
On Saturday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for 15 counties potentially in the path of the tropical storm, including Miami-Dade, where search and rescue operations at the site of the Surfside condo collapse were paused as crews raced to demolish the portion of the building that still stands ahead of the storm.
DeSantis urged citizens to pay attention to weather advisories in the next few days, given that the storm's specific path through Florida remains uncertain.
"While we continue to provide resources to support the response at Surfside, impacts from Elsa will begin affecting the Florida Keys and portions of southern Florida as early as Monday," DeSantis said in a statement accompanying the state of emergency. "All Floridians in the potential path of this storm need to prepare for the risk of isolated tornadoes, storm surge, heavy rainfall and flash flooding."
Elsa was downgraded from a Category 1 hurricane to a tropical storm Saturday morning — but not before causing widespread damage across islands in the eastern Caribbean on Friday.
The Associated Press reports that Barbados was one of the hardest hit islands in the region, with more than 1,100 people reporting damaged houses, including 62 homes that had completely collapsed.
At least three people were killed as the storm ripped through the eastern Caribbean.

Importance of physical activity in reducing burden of disease in Australia
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare released their latest report, Australian Burden of Disease Study: impact and causes of illness and death in Australia 2015
, last week. The report provides estimates of the burden due to 216 diseases and injuries in Australia and the contribution of various modifiable risk factors to this burden.
The overall burden of disease has reduced (11% decrease between 2003-2015), however Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) continues to encourage the implementation and support of preventative health initiatives and physical activity participation.
“Although the report highlights that we are living for longer and staying healthier for longer (almost 90% of years lived are in full health), risk factors such as physical inactivity
have not improved over time, indicating the areas of opportunity to improve our health,” said Anita Hobson-Powell, ESSA Chief Executive Officer.
“It is encouraging to see that reductions in risk factors has been responsible for 51% of the health improvement, meaning that preventative health policies and initiatives that encourage active engagement in exercise and physical activity will only continue to be beneficial for the health and well-being of Australians.”
An increase in Australian-wide physical activity will be reliant on engagement in a variety of activities spanning active recreation, sport, structured exercise and incidental activity.
ESSA Accredited Exercise Physiologists and Accredited Exercise Scientists possess the expertise to provide education and advice concerning the uptake of physical activity in these varied modes and settings and can offer this to individuals or at community or population levels.
“ESSA is committed to supporting preventative measures to protect the physical health of all Australians. We welcome the recent announcement
by Federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt to establish an Australian Preventative Health Strategy,” adds Anita.
“ESSA’s Active Nation
campaign, launched in 2018, advocates that physical activity and exercise are higher priorities on the government’s agenda, important facets of an overall preventative health strategy.”

PLDT, Inc. is set to launch digital platforms for hospitals in the country by the second quarter of the year, a company official said.
“From a health perspective, we’ve been working with a lot of our partners actually, and we are looking at enabling some of our hospital groups for that capability by the second quarter of the year,” Juan Victor I. Hernandez, PLDT senior vice-president, head of PLDT & Smart Enterprise Business Groups and ePLDT president and chief executive officer, said at a recent online briefing.
He added: “We have proof of concepts already that are being undertaken, and we are just in the process of finalizing them.”
He said PLDT is not sticking to one platform. “We’ve made a decision to make sure we have multiple platforms to be able to serve a lot of our customers in that regard.”
For his part, PLDT Chief Revenue Officer Alfredo S. Panlilio said: “We are internally also building a solution for ourselves in terms of the vaccination, because we know that we will have to monitor that as we take delivery of the orders that we’ve had for our employees.”
“We are also working on an app,” he added.
To recall, PLDT Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Manuel V. Pangilinan, who also serves as chairman of Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), said last year that MPIC’s hospitals under Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, Inc. (MPHHI) would be offering services through digital platforms.
MPHHI operates 16 hospitals with a combined capacity of 3,400 beds across the country, including Makati Medical Center, Cardinal Santos Medical Center and Asian Hospital & Medical Center.
MPIC is one of three Philippine units of Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co. Ltd., the others being PLDT and Philex Mining Corp.
Hastings Holdings, Inc. — a unit of PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. — maintains interest in BusinessWorld through the Philippine Star Group, which it controls. — Arjay L. Balinbin

Purpose: Pilot study to evaluate the response to different therapeutic approaches in the treatment of conjunctival epithelial tumors. Methods: A retrospective clinicopathologic review of patients with conjunctival tumors that had been diagnosed histopathologically at the Duke University Medical Center. Results: Of a potential 110 histopathologically confirmed conjunctival tumors detailed clinical records were only available for review from 30 patients. Male to female ratio was 4:1. Age range was from 38-95 years with a median of 64 years. The majority of patients were Caucasian (86%). Most of the lesions (77%) were located at the corneoscleral limbus. Histopathologic findings included conjunctival papilloma, intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) (a spectrum of intraepithelial abnormalities that ranged from moderate-severe dysplasia to intraepithelial carcinoma), squamous cell carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The therapeutic procedures performed varied considerably depending on the preference of the clinician involved in patient care. Of the thirty cases studied, eight (27%) had positive surgical margins of resection following the initial excision. Five of these were re-treated with interferon, excision and superficial keratectomy with cryotherapy, adjunct radiotherapy, or a repeat excision and cryotherapy. None of these cases subsequently recurred. The remaining three were squamous cell carcinoma, which recurred within 5-36 months, with a mean of 16 months. Two of these squamous cell carcinomas had initially been treated with excision and cryotherapy, and one only with an excisional biopsy. Conclusions: This study illustrates some of the drawbacks of retrospective reviews, but it nevertheless underscores the importance of positive surgical margins of resection as a risk factor for recurrent disease.. It also stresses that a wide variety of different therapeutic approaches to conjunctival neoplasms have been used. Because of an inability to draw objective conclusions about the relative merits of the various methods of treatment there is a need for a prospective masked study to determine the best overall treatment for conjunctival epithelial tumors.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – In a letter to President Barack Obama, Gov. Bill Haslam says his administration should have been informed about the placement of 760 unaccompanied immigrant children in Tennessee.
Haslam says in the letter released Friday that the Department of Health and Human Services did not directly tell Tennessee officials that unaccompanied minors had been released into the custody of sponsors living in the state.
Instead, state officials learned of the minors through a posting on the department’s website. Haslam said that practice was “unacceptable.”
Unaccompanied children have been fleeing violence in Central America and crossing into the U.S. because they believe they will be allowed to stay.
Children are placed in government shelters and then released to sponsors while they go through deportation proceedings.

The HKSAR Government today (October 3) announced that it was taking active measures to engage the protestors in dialogue and, to that end, is doing its utmost to arrange a meeting with student representatives. The Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong (BPA) welcomes the announcement and urges the government to settle on a time and place for holding the meeting as soon as possible.
We firmly believe that calm and rational communication to be the only effective means to narrow differences and break the impasse that has ensnared Hong Kong. It also serves a morally responsible purpose of preventing the present situation from worsening further.
The occupation movement has entered into its sixth day proving that it is of little use in resolving disagreements on political reform. Instead, it has inflicted social and economic distress. In Mongkok, there have been heated exchanges between anti- and pro-occupy protesters who have come to blows over their differences. The situation is particularly worrying because widespread violence has become a distinct possibility.
The BPA implores protesters in the various districts to disperse peacefully as soon as possible to allow order to be restored and to avoid exacerbating an already volatile situation, which could result in unwanted bloodshed. The BPA also calls upon all parties to practice restraint and patience so as to enable the police to maintain social order through the effective enforcement of the law.

Found The Hidden Keys
I admit it. i rode the World Famous Conch Tour Train in Key West. Not once but twice. I realize that letting a theme park-style choo choo guide give me an architecture lesson is like wearing an “I Heart Sloppy Joe’s” T-shirt on Duval Street. But I’m an old house junkie, and the random bits of Victorian trivia aboard the Conch Train fed my habit.
Recently I recruited a girlfriend for moral support and returned to the Keys to atone for my sins. We hopped aboard Joel Johnson’s Piper Aztec at Naples Municipal Airport. Less than an hour later we’re in our rental car, cruising up the Overseas Highway to Islamorada: ocean on the right, Florida Bay on the left, marinas packed with salty fishing charters, 1950s trailer parks and alluring seafood shanties.
Everybody knows that Islamorada, favored by Ernest Hemingway and various U.S. presidents, is the Sports Fishing Capital of the World. But Lori Denues, Islamorada’s rental agent to the stars, had told us about the other side of the “purple key”—secret hideaways where the elite escape for rest and rejuvenation.
Lori’s private-to-the-max, orchid-drenched island estates go for $10,000-$45,000 a month. Chauffeurs, helicopter transports, chefs, massage therapists, lobstering guides, bonefishing instructors, exclusive fishing charters and more are available on request. We could be happy with a weekend of that.
Leila’s Beach House is a 3,000-square-foot, two-story, wide-open contemporary with lots of glass and wraparound porches—steam shower, Jacuzzi, swimming pool, sailboat and purple sunrises included. The crew shooting an Ann Taylor catalog between the billowing cabana drapes and the sea has just left, and the estate will be unoccupied until some unnamed superstar arrives next week. The place is ours for two whole days.
Everything a guest seeking privacy with ambience could want lies between Mile Marker 84 and Mile Marker 80 on the Overseas Highway. The Moorings Village and Spa rests on a former coconut plantation. Bahamian-style mansions, lodges and cute honeymoon cottages are tucked into the shade of 700 coconut palms fringing an ultra-private white sand beach. The discreet staff won’t reveal the identities of their rich and famous guests, but it’s not rare to see superstars like Cameron Diaz or Sports Illustrated swimsuit models posing for magazines.
Nearby is Pierre’s, the resort’s blue and white colonial restaurant, a sensuous fusion of Asian and French décor. Think beachside tiki torches and intimate candle-lit dining rooms. Think fairy tale wedding. “On Islamorada?” you may ask. Our thoughts exactly.
That’s not to say one can’t feast on an authentic, Keys-style seafood meal in a funky, Keys-style seafood shack. I still dream about my “bucket o’ bait,” a tin bucket spilling over with crab legs, oysters, mussels and peel ’n’ eat shrimp on the deck of ’60s-era Wahoo’s (Whale Harbor Marina, Mile Marker 83.5). Followed by an otherworldly slice of Key lime pie.
We also can’t resist the pastries and private label coffees made on site at the colorful Midway Café (Mile Marker 81.6, midway between Miami and Key West).
Nightlife, Islamorada Style
A big draw for “been there, done that” escapees to Islamorada is the nightlife. Or lack thereof. There’s Ziggie & Mad Dog’s, an incarnation of gambler/drifter Ziggie Stocki’s 1960s restaurant/bar, once frequented by other shady characters, movie stars and sports heroes. A few years ago, Football Hall of Famer Jim “Mad Dog” Mandich (Super Bowl, Miami Dolphins, 1972) restored the place to its original quirkiness.
On this weekend, there’s a full moon, which means two things: The Howl at the Moon Party at Pierre’s, with bonfires and Caribbean music into the wee hours, and maybe even bigger, the legendary “shrimp run” under the Channel 2 Bridge. Seriously. According to charter captain J.R. Rudzin (who once held the world bonefish record for about two hours), the action starts around midnight. The bridge could be packed elbow-to-elbow with a hundred or more fishermen with nets and lanterns, waiting for that once-monthly phenomenon when millions of Gulf shrimp will come swooshing through the narrow pass.
It’s best when the wind is out of the north, like tonight. We show up around 8 p.m. With four hours to go, the adrenaline is already high. We consider waiting it out, but we’re starting early tomorrow toward Key West to face my Conch Train demons.
Dear Key Deer
On the way down, we take the turnoff to No Name Key—home, of course, to the No Name Pub and not much else, except a population of miniature whitetail deer that exists nowhere else on Earth. The endangered Key deer, barely taller than Labrador retrievers, run free on a 9,200-acre refuge on Big Pine Key. We’ve heard they’re shy and stay mostly hidden, but today several of them prance into the open, getting close enough to steal our hearts.
Back to Luxury
Our master suite at the Ocean Key Resort and Spa has two master bedrooms. Shall I take the one with the marble Jacuzzi or the one with the corner balcony with the French doors? Ah, decisions. Below, billowing sails of sightseeing catamarans dot the harbor.
We amble along to Greene Street, home of the notable Greene Street Gallery. Also on Greene is Peppers of Key West, with its massive tasting bar (bring your own beer), where some sauces are so dangerously hot you have to sign a release to buy them.
Then there’s Kermit’s Key Lime Shop: homemade pies, cheesecakes, cookbooks, even Key lime spa products. It’s a visit just to chat with Kermit in his big green chef’s hat. Unfortunately, he loses points when he pops out of his shop, pie in hand, to wave to passing tourists.
Despite our resolve not to be tourists, we’re lured down to the Sunset Celebration under a purple sky. I don’t get much past the dog wearing khaki shorts and the fire juggler when I discover Dana Powell and her beautiful hand-cut sea glass light catchers. By the time I make my selection, I’ve missed the contortionist, escape artists and who knows what. Ah well, consolation awaits at former Neapolitan Walt Kramer’s fudge shop, Sweets of Paradise.
Early Sunday morning, Old Town still slumbers, except for the famous Key West roosters and me. They’re strutting, and I’m strolling along Simonton Street. Here’s Casa Antigua, Hemingway’s first home on the island; ancient coral rock walls and ornate iron gates; Sarabeth’s, an old synagogue-turned chic restaurant, and—what is this?—a tiny bougainvillea-lined alley. Inside are pretty houses half-hidden behind picket fences. I’m completely charmed. It’s a treasure hunt: There’s another alley, and look! Another! I see Caribbean cottages, conch shacks and gingerbread Victorians, some surprisingly grand. The Conch Train never mentioned this.
It turns out there are more than a hundred such lanes in the heart of Old Town, dating back to the 1800s. Most visitors never discover them, and the locals aren’t telling. Some are barely five feet wide. There’s Poor House Lane, Graveyard Alley and Gruntbone Alley. There’s Billygoat Lane, also known as Hibiscus Lane. You turn down Fulford Lane, and when you come out the other end, it’s Loco Lane. It’s a trick, I think, to confuse the tourists. Two of Key West’s finest inns are tucked into such lanes. All this just a few blocks off Duval Street!
Another Duval Perspective
In all fairness, Duval Street does have its treasures; among them the stunning white towers and spires of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
La Concha Hotel, where Tennessee Williams wrote A Streetcar Named Desire, and our islandy yellow Ocean Key Resort at Zero Duval Street, along with the church and the nearby Key West Lighthouse, make a picturesque tropical skyline. Duval Street is home to the imposing gold and cream stucco San Carlos Institute, established by 19th century Cuban exiles. It’s now a fine museum. Some exquisite restaurants also have Duval Street addresses, most notably the critically acclaimed, very romantic two-story Victorian mansion, “915.”
So now it’s time to face the Conch Train. We’re swept toward the kiddie cars of the Conch Train in a sea of cruise ship tourists. Some are munching—I’m not kidding—frozen Key lime pies on a stick. The guide is telling the story of the tin roof law (supposedly a former mayor had a relative in the tin business). I’m feeling smug as we pass several half-hidden lanes without a mention.
I’m over it. We hop off the train at mid-point and head off in search of frozen Key lime pies on a stick.
Local Color is the “it” shop among locals, with yummy linen clothing and unique jewelry that runs from $10 to one-of-a-kind treasures at $10,000.

Dubai, Dec 23 (UNI) Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting regained the top spot in the LG ICC Test rankings for batsmen after Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara slipped two places to move to the third position.
Sangakkara held the top spot for a very brief period when he scored 92 and 152 in the first Test against England in Kandy. But he managed only one run in the second Test in Colombo which was enough to take him down the ladder, two rating points behind South Africa's Jacques Kallis in the ICC Test rankings for batsmen.
Ponting and Kallis will get their opportunities to fight for the first spot as Australia will take on India at home and South Africa will play against West Indies from December 26. On the other hand, Sangakkara will not get his chance to attack the top position until March next year when Sri Lanka goes head-to-head with the West Indies in a two-Test series.
Sri Lankan captain Mahela Jayawardene's 213 not out in Galle was just enough to take him three positions ahead of Kevin Pietersen (Eng), Matthew Hayden (Aus) and Younis Khan (Pak) at sixth position.
Jayawardene made good progress in the series against England at home. The former skipper, who started the series at the 12th spot, aggregated 474 runs in the three matches.
In the LG ICC Test rankings for bowlers, India's Zaheer Khan was left behind at the 13th spot by Sri Lanka's pace spearhead Chaminda Vaas who claimed 11 wickets against England. Vaas is currently holding the 12th position.
Spin wizard Muttaih Murlitharan continued his reign at the top after he claimed 19 wickets in the series against England with South Africa's Makhaya Ntini at the second spot.

Grant will help fund further testing of gene therapy treatment for leukemia patients
Citing his on-going development of an immune-mediated gene therapy for intractable B cell leukemia, the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT) has awarded Thomas J. Kipps, MD, PhD, professor of medicine in the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and deputy director of research operations at the UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center, its 2010 Investigator Award in Clinical Translation of Cell and Gene Therapy.
The award comes with a $750,000 grant spread over three years. Kipps had previously received a 2005 ACGT Investigator grant to conduct a phase 1 safety trial of the gene therapy approach.
Thomas Kipps, MD, PhD
Kipps, who holds the Evelyn and Edwin Tasch Chair in Cancer Research, specializes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL, the most common form of leukemia among adults in Western societies. CLL is currently consid¬ered incurable. More than 50 percent of relapsed CLL patients and 10 to 20 percent of newly diagnosed CLL patients have limited or no response to existing treatments, leading to a poor prognosis for survival.
Most therapy-resistant CLL patients exhibit a gene dysfunction on a particular chromosome. Current therapeutic options for these patients usually involve high-risk immunosuppressive treat-ments, which further reduces their lifespan. Kipps’ alternative approach involves sensitizing leukemia cells to cell death (apoptosis), potentially making future treatments faster and more effective. Early research findings have been corroborated in vitro and in test patients who completed the proposed treatment course and achieved a complete response.
“There is a tremendous amount of new work that’s going on to find the effective targets for gene therapy and also the delivery vehicles,” said Kipps. “We’re seeing some very encouraging results right now that are being translated into clinical trials.”
About the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy
Over the past 10 years, the non-profit ACGT has funded more than $22 million in grants to some of the nation’s top investigators in the field of cell and gene therapy. Gene therapy is the process of introducing genetic material, usually DNA, to fight an acquired or inherited disease. Cell therapy treats disease by infusing or transplanting whole cells into the patient for the same purpose. For more information, visit www.acgtfoundation.org.

I was wondering whether this book will cover CoffeeScript too?
Given the relationship between the two languages I'd definitely think it'd be good if it did, even if that just meant a chapter covering additional guidelines around CoffeeScript.
Thanks for writing us about this. The book doesn't cover CoffeeScript, but I'll pass your comment on to the editor.
Here's the book's current table of contents:
If you're looking for CoffeeScript info, you might check out The Little Book on CoffeeScript.
Thanks again for sharing this idea with us.

I made one dozen chocolate cupcakes with the grass buttercream frosting, and one dozen (not pictured) yellow cupcakes with maple butter frosting and dusting of brown sugar on top. Ooooh those were good! They were intended to look like a sand trap. There were golf ball toppers for all the cupcakes and the party hostess also thought she would stick a golf tee into some of the cupcakes. Sorry I don't have pictures of the whole display - I bet it was very cute.

As expected, NBC will replace "The Jay Leno Show" at 10 p.m. weekdays in March with a combination of "Law & Order" series, "Dateline" and two new shows.
The original "Law & Order" will air at 10 p.m. Monday and "SVU" will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday. Both series were very popular in Buffalo in 10 p.m. slots. "Dateline" will air from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays.
"Parenthood," an hour-drama inspired by the movie hit, will run at 10 p.m. Tuesday. If the show sounds familiar, it is because a previous series inspired by the movie failed.
NBC is giving Jerry Seinfeld's comedy-reality series, "The Marriage Ref," the 10 p.m. Thursday slot where some of the network's critically-acclaimed dramas have been carried in the past.
NBC also announced that "Trauma" will return at 9 p.m. Monday, effective March 8. "Friday Night Lights" will return at 8 p.m. April 30 with episodes that have previously been carried by DirecTV. Until then, NBC plans to carry a reality series at 8 p.m. Friday -- "Who do You Think You Are?" -- from former "Friends" star Lisa Kudrow. A new game show, "Minute to Win It," will premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday March 14 before "The Celebrity Apprentice."

U.S. Navy divers successfully recovered a 64-square foot section of the Savannah-built Civil War ironclad warship CSS Georgia from the bottom of the Savannah River Tuesday evening.
The removal and preservation of the historic ship is part of the mitigation involved in the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, which will deepen the Savannah River channel from its current 42 feet to 47 feet.
Tuesday’s recovery is part of an ongoing operation by the Navy, the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and underwater archeological teams. Read more.
SAVANNAH, Ga. — In just three years of field work, researchers have turned up more than 600 artifacts - from suspender buckles to railroad spikes - at the site of a Civil War prison camp in southeast Georgia that remained virtually undisturbed since it was abandoned in 1864.
And that’s only scratching the surface.
Students and faculty from Georgia Southern University have plans this summer to dig deeper at Camp Lawton, a sprawling prison where the Confederate army once held more than 10,000 captured Union troops. But first they’re using cellphone chargers and a veterinarian’s X-ray machine to help with the painstaking work of cleaning and preserving items already uncovered. Read more.
Thanks to astronomy, the 19th century mystery surrounding the death of Confederate general “Stonewall” Jackson during the Civil War may finally be solved.
Lieutenant General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was a major figure in the Civil War, second in command to Confederate general Robert E. Lee, when he was shot by friendly fire during the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. Shortly after that battle in northeastern Virginia, Jackson died of his wounds, leaving the Confederate army without one of its boldest military strategists just two months before the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg.
But exactly how Jackson’s own troops could have mistaken him for the enemy has been unexplained until now. Read more.
STATESBORO, GA – Georgia Southern University archaeologists will begin a major conservation project to identify and conserve 150-year-old metal artifacts found at Camp Lawton, a Confederate Prisoner of War (POW) camp located at what is now Magnolia Springs State Park in Millen, Ga. The project is the next step in preparation for the opening of a planned History Center at the park.
As part of the project, Georgia Southern archaeologists will X-ray recovered artifacts to determine if solid metal remains inside visible corrosion. In a unique partnership, the team will be working with Gary Edwards, DVM and the staff at Gateway Animal Hospital of Statesboro who are graciously donating their time and equipment to X-ray the artifacts before conservation is attempted. Read more.
For 140 years the two Yankee sailors lay entombed in the turret of the USS Monitor, doomed shipmates aboard the sunken Civil War vessel 40 fathoms down and 16 miles off Cape Hatteras.
Their remains were recovered when the turret was brought to the surface in an amazing feat of marine archaeology and engineering in 2002. Next month, after a decade of trying to learn their identities, the Navy plans to bury the comrades as unidentified in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.
The funeral, scheduled for March 8, will mark 40 years of research into the Monitor by the Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Va., and many other organizations.
And it will lay to rest perhaps the last of over 600,000 soldiers, sailors and Marines who perished in the long ago war for the Union. Read more.
For nearly 150 years, the story of the Hunley’s attack on the USS Housatonic has been Civil War legend.
And it has been wrong.
Scientists have discovered a piece of the Confederate submarine’s torpedo still attached to its spar, debunking eyewitness accounts that the Hunley was nearly 100 feet away from the explosion that sent a Union blockade ship to the bottom of the sea off Charleston in 1864.
Instead, the Hunley and its eight-man crew were less than 20 feet from the blast. And that changes everything about the story — and possibly even provides a clue as to why it sank.
“I would say this is the single-most important piece of evidence we have found from the attack,” said Maria Jacobsen, senior archaeologist on the Hunley project. Read more.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA. - The first bullet surfaced just after lunch.
As Jon Tucker sifted soil through a screen in September, a corroded lead slug jiggled into view amid the sand and ash excavated from a pit just a few feet from a fenced-off sidewalk and rushing traffic. Tucker waved to his supervisor, archaeologist Taft Kiser, and held up the bullet for him to see.
Hundreds of artifacts followed, along with the contours of a buried cellar holding a rich trove of Civil War history sealed since a ferocious 1862 battle in this Virginia city, which today lies just beyond the suburbs of Washington.
The discovery amid construction of a courthouse was unexpected. But the site has astonished historians and archaeologists for another reason: It represents a “time capsule,” in the words of Kiser, undisturbed through more than a century of urban construction around it. Read more.
PRINCE GEORGE, Va. (WTVR) - One man’s decision to clean house caused a bit of a scare for some neighbors in Prince George Friday morning.
Bob Cleveland, a former area Civil War relic hunter, called in the Bomb Squad as a precaution to help remove several items from his property.
Cleveland said he he started collecting the items decades ago and said that as time passed, he forgot about some of the items.
When Cleveland decided it was time to part with a Civil War-era cannonball and a mortar shell, he figured the safest and most effective way was to call police.
“The one’s they’re taking away came from around Petersburg,” said Cleveland. ”If you haven’t done anything to it, it’s dry powder – and it’s highly explosive. I’d rather have somebody handle it that knows what they’re doing.” Read more.


Characterization of Reduced Graphene Oxide Conductive Polymer Composite towards the Development of Noninvasive Glucose Biosensor
Non-invasive glucose biosensor refers to the measurement of blood glucose level without drawing blood, puncturing the skin, or causing pain or trauma. It uses bodily fluids such as sweat, saliva or tear to measure blood glucose level. A non-invasive glucose biosensor needs a conductive, sensitive and highly selective transducer layer. Thus in this research we have incorporate reduced graphene oxide pedot:pss composites to develop a transducer for non-invasive biosensor.

Taylor Morrison of Texas and Toll Brothers, have purchased more than 2,100 acres of land in Leander, Texas, from Texas-based The Lookout Group. The land is situated adjacent to Crystal Falls, and the new master-planned community will be named Travisso. It is being brought to market through a partnership between Taylor Morrison and Toll Brothers by summer next year.
When it is finished Travisson will include more than 2,000 home sites of various sizes that will be marketed to appeal to a wide array of consumer groups. The community will include 355 acres of open space, a trail system, a 58 acre regional Park, 42 acres of commercial land and opportunities for future Leander ISD schools.
According to Austin division president, Tim Towell, this purchase has come at just the right time for Taylor Morrison as Leander's population has increased by 250% since 2000. Towell said "As the demand for quality communities continues to grow, we're confident that Travisso will offer Austin homebuyers the type of community they long for in Austin: highly rated schools, quality homes, ease of access to work and hill country views."
The announcement of this new community officially marks the reentry into the Austin market by the Toll Brothers. Robert G Paul, Toll Brothers division president said "We are very excited about bringing the Toll Brothers (back to Austin, Texas. Travisso embodies all of the elements we look for in a new home community: a great location, excellent schools, close proximity to employment centers and all of the recreational options offered by living in the Texas hill country."
Bill Hinkley, managing partner of The Lookout Group said "We are 100% confident that the Taylor Morrison/Toll Brothers partnership will deliver a first-class community. This deal will allow The Lookout Group to spend more time focused on the commercial and custom home offerings we have in Crystal Falls."
Cedar Park Regional Medical Center is less than ten miles from Travisso, and there are another three major hospitals within twenty miles of the community. The largest employer in Austin is Dell, and it is just minutes away, while downtown Austin is easily accessed via Capitol Metro’s new commuter rail station in Leander.

Androgens, the main male sex steroids, are the critical factors responsible for the development of the male phenotype during embryogenesis and for the achievement of sexual maturation and puberty. In adulthood, androgens remain essential for the maintenance of male reproductive function and behaviour. Androgens, acting through the androgen receptor (AR), regulate male sexual differentiation during development, sperm production beginning from puberty, and maintenance of prostate homeostasis. Several substances present in the environment, now classified as endocrine disruptors (EDCs), strongly interfere with androgen actions in reproductive and non-reproductive tissues. EDCs are a heterogeneous group of xenobiotics which include synthetic chemicals used as industrial solvents/lubricants, plasticizers, additives, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical agents, and polyphenols of plant origin. These compounds are even present in the food as components (polyphenols) or food/water contaminants (pesticides, plasticisers used as food packaging) rendering the diet as the main route of exposure to EDCs for humans. Although huge amount of literature reports the (anti)oestrogenic effects of different EDCs, relatively scarce information is available on the (anti)androgenic effects of EDCs. Here, the effects and mechanism of action of phytochemicals and pesticides and plasticisers as possible modulators of AR activities will be reviewed taking into account that insight derived from principles of endocrinology are required to estimate EDC consequences on endocrine deregulation and disease.

The Board of the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing company has passed a resolution to suspend the Chief Executive officer of the company, Madam Frances Essiam.
The decision was taken Tuesday after a board meeting chaired by Frank Boakye Agyen.
The meeting held at the Robin Hood hotel at Spintex, Accra discussed urgent matters affecting the productivity at the manufacturing company.
It is not clear yet if Madam Frances Essiam was present at the meeting.
The meeting was originally expected to be held at the offices of the Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing company but the Chief Executive Officer is alleged to have prevented the meeting from going on.
Business at the company has come to a standstill following tension between the Frances Essiam led management and the Board.
Over 60 workers of the company have been asked to stay home whilst customers waiting to do business were left stranded, Tuesday.
Joy News’ Manasseh Azure Awuni who was present at the company reported the gate and premises of the hitherto busy company was shut and isolated with no sign of business going on.
According to him, about 20 customers were turned away with a “no gas” inscription boldly written at the precincts of the company.
Beyond the tranquillity of the company’s premises is a surge of chaos, accusation and counter-accusation at the top level management of the company, Manasseh has learnt.
The Finance and Accounts Manager, Julius Opuni Asamoah has been sacked by the management over some alleged procurement brThe board called a meeting at the company’s premises to discuss the issues affecting the company but had to change the venue of meeting after Madam Frances Essiam allegedly stopped the meeting from going on.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, three issues were considered and discussed at the board meeting including a query to the CEO by the board for allegedly disposing of obsolete equipment without the knowledge of the board; the petition written by the dismissed Finance Manager.
The Board meeting eventually came off at a hotel and a resolution was passed to suspend Frances Essiam.
She is yet to officially comment on the matter.

Dear NKU Campus Community:
The cross-divisional team announced by President Vaidya last week is closely monitoring the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation and working proactively as we learn more about the virus each day.
Again, please note that there are zero reported cases of Covid-19 virus at NKU or in the region.
Yet with worldwide developments in mind, the university has made several decisions in the interest of the health and safety of our students:
Our top priority is the health, safety and security of our students, faculty and staff. In addition to the coronavirus, we must also be mindful that it is still flu season. The CDC recommends that people who have a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher stay home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours. For the benefit of our community, I ask you to be flexible in case a student, staff member or fellow faculty member is sick. If you are feeling sick or have a fever, please stay home and contact Health, Counseling & Student Wellness or your own healthcare provider.
Each of us should continue to practice good health habits such as washing our hands or using hand sanitizer, covering coughs and sneezes and frequently disinfecting our work areas. Finally, we will continue to update our coronavirus preparedness website with any new information as we learn it.
Be well, and I thank you partnering with us to keep our campus and region healthy.
Sue Ott Rowlands
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

The paintings stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum on 18th Match 1990 have just disappeared. The room with the empty frames a constant reminded of the loss.
The return of the Gardner’s works remains a top priority. The Museum, the FBI, and the US Attorney's office are still seeking viable leads that could result in safe return of the art. The Museum is offering a $10 million dollar reward for information leading directly to the safe return of the stolen works. (A share of the reward would be given in exchange for information leading to the restitution of any portion of the works.) A separate reward of $100,000 is being offered for the return of the Napoleonic eagle finial. Anyone with information about the stolen artworks should contact Director of Security Anthony Amore at 617 278 5114 or [email protected]. Confidentiality is assured.1
I found these notices and the reward for information seems to have been increased.
The stolen works were originally procured by art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840–1924) and intended for permanent display at the museum with the rest of her collection. Among them was The Concert, one of only 34 known paintings by Johannes Vermeer and thought to be the most valuable unrecovered painting in the world. Also missing is The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, Rembrandt's only seascape...Experts were puzzled by the choice of artwork, since more valuable works were left untouched. The collection and its layout are permanent, so empty frames remain hanging both in homage to the missing works and as placeholders for their return.2
The FBI believes that the robbery was planned by a criminal organization. The case lacks strong physical evidence, and the FBI has largely depended on interrogations, undercover informants, and sting operations to collect information. They have focused primarily on the Boston Mafia which was in the midst of an internal gang war during the period. One theory is that gangster Bobby Donati organized it to negotiate for his caporegime's release from prison; Donati was murdered a year after the robbery. Other accounts suggest that the paintings were stolen by a gang in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, though they deny involvement even after a sting operation put some of them in prison. All have denied any knowledge or have given leads that were fruitless, despite being offered reward money, reduced prison sentences, and even freedom if they gave information leading to recovery of the art. 2
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum was constructed under the guidance of art collector Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840–1924) to house her personal art collection. The museum opened to the public in 1903, and Gardner continued to expand the collection and arrange it until she died in 1924. She left the museum with a $3.6 million endowment, and her will stipulated that the arrangement of the artwork should not be altered and no items were to be sold or bought into the collection.2
By the 1980s, the museum was running low on funds. This financial strain left the museum in poor condition; it lacked a climate control system and an insurance policy, and was in need of basic building maintenance. After the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uncovered a plot by Boston criminals to rob the museum in 1982, the museum allocated funds to improve security. Among these improvements were 60 infrared motion detectors and a closed-circuit television system consisting of four cameras placed around the building's perimeter. There were no cameras installed within as the board of trustees thought installing such equipment in the historical building would be too expensive. More security guards were hired as well. Despite these security improvements, the only way police could be summoned to the museum was with a button at the security desk. Other museums at the time had fail-safe systems which required night watchmen to make hourly phone calls to the police to indicate all was well.2
An independent security consultant reviewed the museum's operations in 1988 and determined they were on par with most other museums, but recommended improvements.The security director at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston also suggested security upgrades to the museum. Because of the museum's financial strain and Isabella Stewart Gardner's wishes against any major renovations, the board of trustees did not approve these security enhancements. The board also denied a request from the security director for higher guard salaries in a bid to attract more qualified applicants for the job. The current guards were paid slightly above minimum wage. The security flaws of the museum were an open secret among the guards.2
To read more about the paintings and other pieces which were stolen please follow the bookmark links as given below.
Tomorrow you will be introduced to a French conceptual and installation artist Sophie Calle who responded to the theft at the museum in a series of works which moved the focus from one of sadness and loss to one of creativity and life.

My skin makes me so miserable. I never go out without make-up as my face is red and blotchy.
It looks like a rash and gets worse in winter but it's bad in the sun too.
I've tried all sorts of cleansers to no avail. What should I do?
YOU may have a condition called rosacea where tiny blood vessels in the skin become very sensitive to temperature changes and produce red blotches and pimples if the skin gets hot or cold.
You should see a dermatologist for treatment - ask your doctor for a referral.
In the meantime, there's plenty you can do for yourself.
Avoid extreme temperatures, direct heat and sunshine and wrap up warm against a cold wind.
Keep your central heating down at home. Don't eat spicy foods or drink too much alcohol and stick to cleansers designed for sensitive skins.
I'd wear a sunblock every day too, whether it's sunny or not. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight aggravate rosacea.

The vlog was posted yesterday and includes behind-the-scenes footage from UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami (also known as UFC Rio), Ultimate Fight Night 25 and a hilarious moment during a UFC 135 Jones vs. Rampage press conference in Denver, CO.
The crowd in Rio, when Anderson Silva steps into the Octagon, actually gave me goose bumps and provided a tiny glimpse into what Silva must have been feeling at that moment. If that’s not enough to elevate your mindset before a fight, I don’t know what is.
We also see that same elevated high quickly turned into an extreme low as we witness the pain and frustration of defeat overcome typically dominant fighters and fan favorites, Cody McKinsey and Jake Shields.
I’m not going to give all of it away, though.

Supported Internships: when the student becomes the teacher
Treloar’s has always strived to break the barriers by supporting more young people with physical disabilities on their pathway to paid employment. That’s why, at the beginning of 2019, we launched our Supported Internships programme, pioneered by Transition Manager Maria Sherwood and Supported Internship Coordinator Charlotte Mills.
Supported Internship is a one-year programme aimed at students whose intended destination must be paid or voluntary work, part-time or full time. It’s a fantastic opportunity to get experience working for an employer.
As part of the programme, Treloar College student, Harriet, has been doing her work placement at Treloar Primary School.
When the student becomes the teacher
It is always a pleasure to see our older students giving back to the younger ones, and this was the essence of Harriet’s art lesson in our Primary School. Harriet is non-verbal, meaning she uses her augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device, as well as physical gestures, to communicate. Her task was to design and lead an interactive art class, as part of her training to become a teacher.
To prepare for her lessons, Harriet planned the entire lesson herself. Her teacher, Katherine Paddington, reports:
Harriet gave me the complete list of equipment she would need—I didn’t have to do anything!
In order to lead the lesson, a practical session to create textured art with shaving foam, Harriet needed to deliver clear and concise instructions. She did this by pre-programming her AAC device to talk through each step, which the children and their helpers followed.
Our Corporate Fundraiser, Léonie Jackson, had been invited to observe Harriet, and she shared the following:
What really impressed me was that Harriet accurately replayed each step if a student arrived a little late, or took longer than others. She was clearly keeping track of each child’s progress and supporting them to complete their picture.
The end result was four striking and individual pieces, created by those who attended: Elin, Noah, Dexter and Asher. Each chose their own colour theme from the range of paints Harriet had supplied. It was a deliberately hands-on, sensory activity, engaging sight, smell and touch—and creating messy hands and happy faces.
We are wishing Harriet every success in her aspiration to teach—the kids will love her!
We are always looking for more local businesses to provide Supported Internships for our next cohort of students.
If you would like to find out more information about the Supported Internships programme and how to get involved, please contact Maria Sherwood, Progress and Transition Manager, on firstname.lastname@example.org or Charlotte Mills, PTC/ Internship Co-ordinator, on email@example.com

Elle Magazine’s Annual Women In Hollywood Awards completed its 22nd round this year. Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann attended the event as honourees and as they reached out at the stage, the event showed different colors.
The Annual Women In Hollywood Awards by Elle recognises women power in Hollywood and encourages towards healthy feminism. While, “Knocked Up” actress Leslie Mann promoted fun, Dakota Johnson took stage to leave a strong message.
The fun teasing at Elle’s 22nd Annual Women In Hollywood Awards revealed that “This Is 40” actress Leslie Mann actually watched “Fifty Shades of Grey” almost 5 times in the morning to prepare for her speech. Mann funnily teased Johnson saying that her character Anastasia Steel has to go through so much and Christian Grey is quiet unreasonable with his demands.
“The 40-Year Old Virgin” actress further pulled Johnson legs saying that “Fifty Shades” actress in not virgin and added, “I don’t want my friend Dakota to have to go through that again. So I am officially volunteering to take over the part of Anastasia Steele to save her from that pain,” reported Variety.
After Leslie Mann’s funny and witty speech, it was honouree Dakota Johnson’s turn to take up stage who looked glamorous in Jacob & Co. Jewelry paired with Calvin Klein Black Gown, reported Elle Magazine.
Johnson addressed the very nominal but disturbing problem every women has to go through – to impress each and everyone. Johnson voiced again, not being comfortable with their own skins and trying hard to impress others.
Honoree Dakota Johnson voiced powerfully by praising Hollywood’s women force and expressed, “I’ve decided to elegantly name this precarious internal chatter the ‘f–k you committee.”
Jonshon further added that she is letting the old outlooks break and not let society decide her impression rather she would go one step ahead and define it under her own norms where she is comfortable.

Creepy (Recycled) Jar Lanterns
- white glue
- decorative items like skulls (optional)
- creepy cloth (cheap netted curtain panels they sell at dollar stores at Halloween. You could also use cheese cloth or any thin, thready material)
- glue gun or epoxy
Part 1: Haze the Jars
It's very simple to age jars. First, soak them in hot soapy water. This not only cleans the jars but softens any labels they might have.
Most labels won't come off in one try. When it softens (and this could take 30 mins to an hour), peels off as much as you can, then put them back in the water.
If it has stubborn glue residue, steel wool works great.
Now that they are all nice and clean, it's time to get them dirty. All I did to give them a grimy coat was pour about a 1/8 to 1/4 cup water into the bottom of the jar, added a squeeze of white glue, stirred, and then rolled the jars to coat the sides. Then I poured the glue mix from one jar to another, turning each one. It creates a nice glaze.
After the initial cloudy stain, I mixed a touch of brown paint with a bit of white glue and watered it down, just like I had in the first step only this time, the brown was darker. I swirled it around the bottom of the jars and turned each one so a few streams lined the sides.
Then I mixed some white glue, black paint, and some water together. The aim was to create soot or grime stains at the top of the jar. I dipped a piece of cloth in the mix, then dabbed it along the inside rim and top of the glass. Dab, smooth. Dab, smooth. Dab, smooth. When they dried, I found some had a bit too much black, but it easily wipes away with a bit of water (I just used my fingertips).
Part 2: Decorate
I took some netted cotton/wool material (pieces cut from the large cloth net-like material they sell at dollar stores as Halloween curtains that are meant to decorate window dressings or doorways), wrapped it around the outside rim of the jar, and tied it with a knot, snipping the ends off. I then mixed black paint and water with Sculpt or Coat (you could easily use - you guessed it - white glue), and brushed it over the cloth.
To finish them off, I took a collection of skull castings I've been saving for a long time now (they were test castings done by the Davis clan, and her royal Frog Queen was kind enough to let me take some home when I visited). I coated the back of them with quick-drying epoxy, and stuck them to the outside of the jars (you could use a glue gun to attach them if you didn't have epoxy).
As a finishing touch, I put a thin coat of black wash (diluted black paint) into the crevices of the skulls.
Because they are glass jars, you can put actual tealight candles in them. I chose, instead, to create a number of LED candle stubs.
