Coronavirus: Marathon talks over EU virus rescue package stall
8 April 2020
EU talks on how to help southern Eurozone countries badly affected by the coronavirus epidemic have stalled after 16 hours.
The European Central Bank says the bloc may need up to €1.5tn ($1.6 trillion; £1.3tn) to tackle the crisis.
European finance ministers were close to a deal, but the talks broke down amid a dispute between Italy and the Netherlands over how to apply the recovery fund.
Negotiations will resume on Thursday.
The coronavirus pandemic has exposed deep divisions in Europe, where Italy and Spain have accused northern nations – led by Germany and the Netherlands – of not doing enough.
European Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans criticised the Dutch response, warning that “the EU as we know it will not survive this” if the split continued.
“Everyone now needs to appreciate the need for solidarity,” the former Dutch minister wrote in De Volkskrant, arguing for “new instruments… [to] show that in Europe too the strongest shoulders bear the heaviest burdens “.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has similarly warned the bloc could “fall apart” if a solution cannot be found.

The European Research Group’s Scientific Council said later that its members had “unanimously” called for his resignation nearly two weeks ago, alleging that Prof Ferrari had not taken part in important meetings and had spent too much time in the US.
Why did the EU talks break down?
Italy, Spain, France and some other EU states want to share out coronavirus-incurred debt in the form of “coronabonds” (or eurobonds) – mutualised debt that all EU nations help to pay off.
An all-night teleconference between Eurozone finance ministers to discuss this started on Tuesday and went on for 16 hours, but Italy refused to back down on its demands.
The Netherlands opposes the proposal, and wants member states to have repayment conditions phased in over the years.
For now, a draft text of what has been agreed states that “innovative financial agreements” will need to be used.
The meeting’s chairman, Portuguese Finance Minister Mario Centeno, said he had suspended the talks until Thursday but was still seeking a strong safety net against the effects of the virus.
The French and German finance ministers urged colleagues to continue to seek a solution. In a tweet (in German), Germany’s Olaf Scholz called for EU states to stand together and find a “good compromise”.
The BBC’s Gavin Lee in Brussels says that essentially the issue is one of trust over whether Italy and Spain will eventually pay back what has been borrowed so that other countries are not financially exposed.
Some from these hard-hit nations have been angered by a perceived indifference from other EU states.
The Dutch and their allies want to use an existing bailout fund known as the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).
“Because of the current crisis we have to make an exception and the ESM can be used unconditionally to cover medical costs,” said Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra. “For the long term economic support we think it’s sensible to combine the use of the ESM with certain economic conditions.”

Italy remains at the centre of the crisis in Europe, with the highest death toll – more than 17,000; next comes Spain, with nearly 14,000 deaths, Johns Hopkins University data shows.
Even before the economic damage of this crisis, Italy’s public debt was 133% of its GDP (total output), or about $2.3tn (£2tn) – the highest in the eurozone after Greece.
Germany wants to set up an EU rescue fund and lend using mechanisms established during the financial crisis of a decade ago.
This week, a group of Italian mayors and other politicians bought a page in Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper to remind Germany that it was never made to pay back its debts after World War Two.
Public opinion has also been shifting in Germany.
Economists, politicians and commentators who once railed against mutualising eurozone debt to bail out Greece amid the last financial crisis are calling for exactly that to help Southern Europe deal with the coronavirus.

Our good friend and frequent contributor Wenguang Huang has published excerpt of his forthcoming memoir in the new issue of The Paris Review, alongside interviews with novelist David Mitchell, cartoonist R. Crumb, and fiction from Katherine Dunn, Colum McCann, and Ann Beattie.
The piece, entitled “Coffin Keeper,” begins: “When I was nine, I shared my bedroom with a coffin. My father had it made for my grandmother for her seventy-third birthday and referred to it as shou mu, which means something like “longevity wood,” and seemed like a strange name for the box Grandma would be buried in. The practice of burial had been banned in China since soon after the Communists took over, so I couldn’t tell anyone about it.”

Alleged Blurry OS X 10.10 Images Leak Ahead of WWDC Keynote [PICS]
Last night an anonymous Reddit user posted images (dated March 24) of what claimed to be images from upcoming OS X 10.10 Apple is expected to unveil at today’s WWDC 2014 keynote.
MacRumors first reported the images but in a later update they were ‘removed’ at the request of the Reddit user, adding mystery surrounding the images (of course the images were saved by the internet).
A Reddit moderator says he ‘verified’ the images as the original poster sent additional photos of the ones below unmodified. Take that for what it’s worth but with the keynote a mere 30 minutes away we will wait and see if these are indeed legitimate:

In the dawn of history the birthplace of surgery was the battlefield. The son of Aesculapius, Machaon, he who dressed the wounds of Menelaus, was put under the special care of Nestor, for the Greeks considered a doctor to be worth in battle many soldiers.
In the Renaissance period Paré became, if not the father of modern surgery, the greatest of military surgeons. As a barber’s apprentice he left the provinces for Paris in 1529, and was employed as a dresser at the Hotel Dieu. He began practice in a modest room near the favourite duelling-ground, and after eight years’ residence in Paris became an Army surgeon, and served in the wars for nearly twenty years, first of all in the campaign of Francis I. In Italy. His experience in the field, and the use he made of it, gave him a great practice and a great name in Paris.
Let us consider first what manner of man he was. Neither birth nor education were his, but he had the advantage of freedom from the deadening influence of the University of Paris of that time. He wrote a great deal and his books are full of interesting cases, good stories of the camp and of the city, shrewd opinions, and contain much in the style of Pepys and Boswell. Paré, the Huegenot, is in striking contrast to his grand patients of the Court, the mad line of Kings, the Duke of Guise, Catherine Medici, the marquises, the courtiers, and the rest. He knew Vesalius and Mary Stuart and found a kindred spirit in Admiral Coligny. Piety permeated his life and found expression in his writings and in the oft-repeated phrase, “Je le pansay et Dieu le guarit”—I dressed him and God cured him. On the night of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew the King himself locked Paré in a room in the Louvre, swearing that it was not reasonable that a man who was worth a world of men should be murdered. One of the last and greatest scenes in the life of this noble man reveals him, burdened with the weight of eighty years, tramping the hot and noisome streets of Paris, relieving the sick and poor when the city was besieged and withstanding the fury of the League and the power of the relentless Archbishop of Lyon. The dead lay unburied in the streets and the anguish and hunger of the citizens had reached the limit of human endurance. It was Master Ambroise Paré who met the Archbishop face to face in the street and called upon him to have mercy on the citizens, as he himself hoped for divine mercy. The Archbishop said afterwards that Paré had waked him up and made him think of many things. “On Thursday, December the twentieth, died Master Ambroise Paré, the King’s surgeon, eighty years old; a learned man and the chief of all surgeons; who, even against the times, all his life talked and spoke openly for peace and for the people: which made him as much beloved by the good as he was opposed and hated by the wicked.”
But it is Paré’s work and invention as an Army doctor that appeals to us now in the days of the Great War. For some centuries in mediaeval times the surgeon had no honour, and the art was relegated to barbers, bath-keepers, sow-gelders, and mountebanks. In Prussia up to the time of Frederick the Great it was one of the duties of the Army surgeon to shave the combatant officers. But Paré had great honour. His ready sympathy endeared him to his comrades, and we read that one night he entered Metz incognito, but, being recognised, he was carried through the city by the soldiers in triumph. His reputation as an Army surgeon was built upon the sure foundation of efficiency, and his skill was a powerful aid to the Army. He seemed to exemplify the teaching of Locke, the philosopher-physician of a somewhat later period, that ideas are not innate, but that knowledge proceeds from investigation through the bodily senses. No detail was too small for his attention, and this of necessity, seeing that he had no trained nurses to depend upon. Indeed, Charles IX., dying of consumption, and the ghosts of the Massacre ever before his eyes, had no nurse save an old woman who had nursed him when he was a child, and she composed herself to sleep, as history informs us, when she was dying.
At the beginning of his career in the Army Paré’s great discovery was due mainly, as he informs us, to chance. At Suse, near Mont Cenis, in 1537,
“The enemy within the castle, seeing our men come on them with great fury, did all that they could to defend themselves, and killed and wounded many of our soldiers with pikes, arquebuses, and stones: whereby the surgeons had all their work cut out for them. Now, I was at this time a fresh-water soldier; I had not yet seen gunshot wounds at the first dressing. I had read in ‘John de Vigo,’ book one, ‘Of Wounds in General,’ chapter eight, that wounds made by firearms partake of venenosity, by reason of the gunpowder; and for their cure he bids you cauterise them with oil of elders, scalding hot, mixed with a little treacle. And to make no mistake, before I would use the said oil, knowing that it was to bring great pain to the patient, I asked first, before I applied it, what other surgeons used for a first dressing; which was to put the said oil, boiling, well into the wounds, with tents and setons: wherefore I took courage to do as they did. At last my oil ran short, and I was compelled, instead of it, to apply a digestive made of yolks of eggs, oil of roses and turpentine. In the night I could not sleep in quiet, fearing some default in the not cauterising, lest I should find those to whom I had not applied the said oil dead from the poison of their wounds; which made me rise very early to visit them: where, beyond my expectation, I found that they to whom I had applied my digestive had suffered but little pain, and their wounds without inflammation or swelling, having rested fairly well that night. The others, to whom the boiling oil was applied, I found feverish, with great pain, and swelling round the edges of their wounds. Then I resolved never more to burn thus cruelly poor men with gunshot wounds… See how I learned to treat gunshot wounds: not out of books.”
There was a surgeon at Turin, famed above all the rest for his treatment of gunshot wounds, to whom Paré paid court for two years before he would disclose his recipe, and then only after many gifts. “Then I was joyful,” writes Paré, “and my heart made glad that I had learned his remedy, which was like that which I had obtained my chance.”
His second great discovery, or rather rediscovery, for it was at one time in the practice of the ancients, was the use of ligature instead of red-hot irons to stop the bleeding of an amputation. “In 1552,” he writes, “it pleased God to teach me, without I had ever seen it done in any case, no, nor read of it.” In both of these discoveries he showed the fallacy of the orthodox practice based upon the pseudo Hippocratic aphorism that diseases not curable by iron are curable by fire.
What else do we owe to Paré? He invented many surgical instruments, popularised the use of a truss in cases of hernia, omitted castration as a routine part of the operation of herniotomy, advised massage, introduced artificial eyes made of gold or silver, and in 1536 performed the first excision of the elbow joint. He pointed to syphilis as the cause of aneurysm, and Howard Kelly gives to Paré the credit of assigning to flies a great part in the transmission of infectious diseases. By ligaturing the large arteries Paré was enabled to perform many amputations, and his treatment of wounds lessened the mortality of war, well named by Pirogoff, after his experience in the Crimea, a “traumatic epidemic.”
The great advance made in military surgery in the present day would not have been possible had it not been for the work of Simpson, Lister, Hunter, and Ambroise Paré of an army that has been dust and rust for three centuries. Some may say, Lister we know, and Hunter we know, but who is Paré? Let this short sketch whet the appetite of the reader for further knowledge of one of the most notable and most lovable pioneers in our art, who, fortunately, has revealed not only his thoughts but also his personality in his writings.

KARACHI: An Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore awarded two-year imprisonment to a suspect in the Gurdwara Nankana Sahib incident case.
The ATC judge announced a two-year jail term to Imran Chisti and also imposed a fine of Rs10,000 Another accused Salman was handed six-month imprisonment to another suspect in the case. The court acquitted five others due to insufficient evidence against them.
Last year in January, police had arrested the prime suspect in the incident. The suspect attempted to convert his personal dispute into religious conflict and indulged in hate speeches to mobilize protests who pelted stones at a Sikh holy place in Nankana Sahib.
The suspect also posted his hate speeches on social media, the police said. The incident had garner controversy and even Prime Minister Imran Khan had taken notice of the incident.
The altercation happened over a minor dispute at a tea stall which threatened to turn into a greater conflict. The district administration immediately intervened and arrested the accused.
The Foreign Office had maintained that the Gurdwara remains untouched and undamaged. All insinuations to contrary, particularly claims of acts of “desecration and destruction” and desecration of the holy place, are false and mischievous, the statement stated.

These days, the majority of banks happen to be concerned with the U. S. Section of Justice’s upcoming legal action against big banks that deal with international, option network of economic institutions. The lawsuits can really harm the intercontinental financial system.
According to the lawsuit, the global economic recession and turmoil forced the U. S. Federal government to come up with a plan to regulate every international, alternative network of financial organizations. As soon as the Federal government announced its actions in suing big banks, more people started to worry regardless of whether these actions would seriously bring down the international monetary market. As a result of uncertainties in this case, the international banking industry is trouble.
The Status Attorneys General has insecure to prosecute the bankers if they were doing not stop using non-U. S. dollars to help people and companies preserve their money in their very own local values. The problem mentions that lots of banks do not follow the Government Reserve System’s policies and this will allow this to continue working on the global recession.
Since the economic crisis, there are many bankers that have collapsed, leaving thousands of people unemployed. Yet , there are still many banks that are working and offering services towards the customers. A large number of banks are turning to intercontinental networks as it allows them to convey more credibility considering the customers.
Despite the fact that there are so many bankers that are coping with this network, the big banking institutions are also scared of being sued by the Express Attorneys General. They have already opened some twigs in other countries and they are setting up branches and affiliations with the international network. However , these types of big banking institutions still fear that they will be facing a legal action by the Express Attorneys General, so they may be hesitating from making more investments in international networks.
In addition , the lawyers for the finance institutions who are getting sued by theState Attorneys Basic are already looking to argue that these banks don’t have a connection with the standard bank from wherever they get their money. Due to this, the companies may be able to retain doing business with these kinds of international networks and still receive sued.
Now there are likewise many those who are not satisfied with the way these banks are handling the businesses with https://slm-info.org/2020/05/07/what-is-slm/ world-wide networks. Several believe that this kind of lawsuit will simply affect the world-wide financial network in the long run. Holiday providers worried that if the legal action was to do well, not only could the U. S. economic climate suffer, nevertheless other countries will also confront financial downturn.
Most people so, who work with intercontinental financial institutions think that it would be finest if the legal action was not gonna take place. With respect to them, doing business with other countries through these kinds of networks is still less dangerous than coping with the Suggests Attorneys General.
They believe the lawsuit will affect the world-wide financial market because these types of financial institutions are not able to handle each other any more. Other countries will be viewing how the big banks are doing business with these international networks and may want to do business with banks that will be more secure than the kinds that were used to work with international systems.
If the legal action takes place, the banks inside the U. Beds. will not be able to do business with these international networks mainly because they have not established an excellent relationship with these financial institutions. They will not manage to receive their payments anymore and as a consequence they will stop working with the big banks.
You will find already some banks in the usa that have been using the services of these systems and those just who work with world-wide financial institutions would definitely not need to work with many banks down the road. The menace of the court action might also cause quite a few people to stop doing business with international networks because they already know they will not be able to receive the payments.
Regardless of how well the financial institutions on the planet are doing, if the U. Nasiums. Government plus the State Lawyers General should sue the banks that deal with world-wide financial networks, then organization affect the world-wide market. This lawsuit may bring down the international financial network and this is certainly something that should not occur.

Harvey Elliott could be in for a major season in 2022/23. Elliott was recalled to Liverpool after his successful loan spell at Blackburn a year ago and started the beginning of last season in brilliant form.
Of course, we all know what happened next: he suffered that horrendous injury against Leeds in September and it ruled him out for the next three months.
He was gently eased back into the first team but he largely became a forgotten figure towards the back end of last season as Liverpool tried to win a historic quadruple.
Patience was always going to be the name of the game with Elliott. There was no need to instantly rush him back given Liverpool’s squad depth and the seriousness of his injury.
Elliott has looked incredibly sharp in pre-season training, and was one of Liverpool’s best players in their mini-tour of South-East Asia. With a full pre-season under his belt, Elliott looks set to have a starring role for Liverpool this season, or at the very least significantly build on top of what he started at the beginning of last.
Jürgen Klopp’s right-hand man Pep Lijnders rates the 19-year-old very highly, so highly in fact he has compared him to a Barcelona legend.
"There is no such thing as like for like in football, but Harvey Elliott has some of the ingredients of Andrés Iniesta and thinks like a creative midfielder," he wrote in his unreleased upcoming book. "I’m blessed to have worked with some of the continent’s top talents."
That’s high praise indeed.
While it would be unfair to Elliott at this stage of his development to compare him to one of the greatest midfielders of the last 25 years, it speaks volumes to his ability and where Liverpool could see him going.
He’s in the right place and playing with the right players to learn from, whether he’s utilised in midfield and learning from Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcântara, or if he’s operating further forward in attack and sitting under the learning tree of Mohamed Salah. Liverpool is the best place for Elliott to be.
Elliott isn’t likely to be an automatic starter for Liverpool this season, but he will unquestionably feature more this season than the back end of last. Lijnders wouldn’t be making comparisons with Iniesta if they didn’t fully believe in him, and it speaks volumes for his mentality that Klopp's assistant was unafraid to make the big comparison.
Like Iniesta, Elliott isn’t afraid to take chances on the pitch, and already displays a big-club mentality. This was evidenced in the fact that he returned to full fitness well ahead of schedule following his injury.
And if he develops into even half of the player Iniesta was, then Liverpool have a true jewel.

The 032 Integrated Amplifier offers a wide variety of connectivity that far exceeds the normal range of integrated amplifiers. A PRE OUT output, for example, allows the connection of a separate power amplifier or the central volume control of different listening zones within a multi-room application. With its mighty 650 VA power supply the 032 Integrated Amplifier effortlessly delivers continuous high current in order to perfectly control even large speakers with low impedance and complex loads. Excellent special resolution and musicality are the hallmarks of the 032.
The heat sinks in typical Burmester design keep the 032 cool even under full power. The chromed control element is located on the front in between the attractive heat sinks the front. This mid-section milled from solid brass encompasses the display circuitry and protects it effectively against any unwanted spurious noise radiating on parts of the amplifier processing audio signals. The solid rotary knob switches both channels identically via an incremental encoder.
During assembly the transistors are carefully connected to the generously dimensioned heat sinks on both sides via a massive block of copper which takes care of optimal heat distribution and dissipation. The driver stages are installed on a separate internal heat sink. This prevents working point drift of the driver stages due to large thermal fluctuations in the heat sinks of the amplification stages. In the final assembly step the high-chrome control element is gently connected to the complex innards of the integrated amp.
Balanced design throughout as in all Burmester components
Input stages in proprietary X-Amp technology (Class A)
Low overall negative feedback
Completely DC-coupled without distorting capacitors in the signal path
Oversized power supply delivers high current
Effortless control of any speaker due to the high damping factor over the entire range, even at high frequencies
Stable at any load over the entire frequency range
Massive binding posts for speaker cables (use only spade lugs!)
Remote on/off switching in connection with Burmester pre-amps and D/A converters with variable output (remote control current: 10V DC)
Integrated protection circuit outside of the signal path monitors the 032 during operation for overheating, DC offset and overloading
5 inputs, three of which are balanced
Head phones jack at the rear panel
Tone controls (can be switched off)
Home theater pass-through
Adjustable pre-sets: Input sensitivity, output level, wake-up volume,
Includes hand-held metal remote control

It's a little bit of burnout, a little sour grapes, a little bit like a boxer who gives it up. It's pretty tough, to tell you the truth. Everyone wishes they could be young forever. "
Well, those days of leisure were short-lived. Tuesday Night he played his first show in four years in his hometown of Sarasota, Fla., billed as a “live rehearsal show” before his 2018 summer tour. The Dickie Betts Band includes his son Duane (vocals/guitar), drummers Frankie Lombardi and Steve Camilleri, bassist Pedro Arevalo, guitarist Damon Fowler, and keyboardist Mike Kach.
The set included a performance of “Midnight Rider,” which was penned by the late Gregg Allman. This was the first time Betts played the song since leaving the Allman Brothers Band in 2000.

Community and heritage in African-American women's novels
Sakhar Govindan Nair.
Date of Issue1998
National Institute of Education
This thesis attempts to document the range of responses African-American women writers have posited regarding their concerns with history, identity and culture. Black female identity and historical experience are presented as inextricably linked by these writers, and coming to terms with racial and gender history is deemed essential towards constructing tenable black female identities. As a result, this thesis finds that African-American women's works consistently assert the necessity of intellectually and emotionally understanding historical experience to become and remain a fully functional black woman. By doing so, I hope this thesis contributes to the process of documenting the linked strategies of persistence by which African- American women have communicated, written and published. As critical paradigms to explore the salient features of such a writing tradition are still in the process of forming, the specific vocabulary of exploration matters much less than the need to restore forgotten or ignored voices to the human chorus. I hope this thesis contributes a chord.

Home » Ski Colorado » Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
Arapahoe Basin is a ski mountain and a local favorite in the Colorado Rockies. Known as “A-Basin” or just “The Basin,” this ski area west of Denver is popular for its short lines and long season.The ski area is also such a favorite amongst Colorado natives because it has a very laid-back atmosphere and tough terrain. A-Basin’s altitude in the White River National Forest reaches a peak of 13,050 feet and has terrain above the tree line including powder-filled bowls.
The resort opened way back in 1946, making it one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado. And it just keeps growing. The Montezuma Bowl is the latest addition, which added 80% to the overall area during the 2007/2008 season.
Montezuma Bowl has blue, black and double-black runs with varied terrain. Everything from groomed runs, to chutes, glades and cornice runs make up the bowl.
Tree Line and High Divide are the two terrain parks at A-Basin. They have jumps, boxes and rails. High Divide gets its name from the killer view of the Continental Divide from the chair lifts at the ski area.
Another great spot for views is at the top of the Upper East Wall. After the view, reap the rewards of the hike up with the exhilarating ride down the chutes. Head to the Lower East Wall for a great powder spot.
Take the Pallavicini lift on the west side of the mountain for super steep, double-black diamond extreme trails. They have very long mogul runs and enough vertical drop to test anybody’s nerve.
A nice, relaxing day at the slopes is also possible at A-Basin. Forgiving trails, lessons with kid-friendly terrain and magic carpets are also available.
There are three lodges to grab lunch at The Basin. The base lodge has a full cafeteria, bar, coffee shop and a grill outside for warm days. At the top of the Norway and Lenawee lifts, you’ll find the Snow Plume refuge. This warming hut sells hot chocolate, coffee and snacks to refuel you. At the top of the Exhibition lift, the Black Mountain Lodge is more formal, with an alpine bistro-style menu.
In addition to the altitude, the mountain has a mostly north to northeastern face, which allows the resort to stay open until June or even July, long after other Colorado resorts have closed.
Spring skiing truly takes on another meaning at A-Basin. The parking lot by the base lodge area is even nicknamed “the beach” because of its sunny, warm afternoons. They also open early, sometimes as early as the second week in October.
To reach A-Basin, take US 6 outside of Denver. It is on the west side of Loveland Pass.
Haute cuisine is absent at Arapahoe Basin; juicy hamburgers and beers at the lodge replace overpriced meals and tailgating in the free parking lot replaces pricey après ski drinks.
Fun events punctuate the year at A-Basin, one of which is the Cardboard Derby. At this event, entrants put together cardboard contraptions to slide down the mountain in. Sometimes the attempts are successful, but it is mostly a comedy show. Pull up a lawn chair and watch the show at the finish line.

Cheyenne, Wyo. – A man found guilty for a Father’s Day drunken-driving crash that killed a woman and seriously injured her husband has been sentenced to seven to 12 years in prison.
Ron Holland, 45, of Weld County, Colo., was also ordered to write letters to the editors of student newspapers in Cheyenne and Fort Collins, Colo., explaining his grief while offering ideas on how to curb underage drinking, and drinking and driving.
The collision occurred when Holland ran a red light in Cheyenne last year. Holland had a blood-alcohol level of 0.21 percent an hour after the crash that killed Janna Klussmann, of Fort Collins and severely injured her husband, Andrew Klussmann, a former Colorado State University volleyball coach.
Andrew Klussmann spent months recovering from his injuries.
A jury in May found Holland guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide and aggravated assault. Holland had faced up to 30 years in prison.

I learned a “dirty” little secret about our soil.
Our soil is not the same soil of 50 years ago. And our mineral content has been a steady 80-year decline. (Nutrition Security Institute)
According to the Nutrition Security Institute, our topsoil supply has decreased by over 50% in the last 50 years. Topsoil is needed for food production. In the topsoil is the microbial life that is critical to the production of nutritious food. In fact, the nutritional value of all harvested food is linked to the “biological activity of soil microbes, soil organic matter, mineral composition of the soil, fertilization practices and the genetics of the plant.” (Nutrition Security Institute)
Topsoil is needed for food production. In the topsoil is microbial life that is critical to the production of nutritious food.
In 2004, there was a study done under the supervision of Dr. Donald Davis and his team of researchers from the University of Texas Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. The results were published in the 2004 publication of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. They studied data from both 1950 and 1999 for 43 different vegetables and fruits, and discovered “reliable declines in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorous, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half-century.” They went further to state that the declining nutritional content was a result of agricultural practices designed to improve size, growth rate and pest resistance instead of nutrition.
So what “happened” to make the soil deficient in minerals?
If the plants and food we eat don’t have those trace minerals, we don’t have those trace minerals. Our immune system is vulnerable.
Farmers used to fertilize the soil by spreading manure, doing crop rotation, composting, and by spreading combinations of inorganic minerals such as lime and boron in the fields. Many left the fields farrow, or un-sown, for a period of time in order to restore fertility back to the soil.
That is rarely done now.
The current common practice of farmers is to fertilize the soil with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. They no longer rotate crops or allow fields to farrow. They found that by doing this practice, they increased the yield per acre. The problem was that without those essential nutrients, the plants became more prone to be “choked” by weeds and eaten by insects. To correct this, farmers started to spray their crops with Round-up, which contains glyphosate. More chemicals exposed to our bodies.
What is interesting, is that those healthy plants that were given trace minerals were able to ward off disease and remain healthy. Our bodies are just like the plants. If we give our bodies what they need, they will be healthy and able to fight off disease. Daily we are bombarded with chemicals, poor air, and water quality, GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), pesticides, and food that is lacking nutrients.
So, if the plants and food we eat don’t have those trace minerals, we don’t have those trace minerals. Our immune system is vulnerable.
We need to supplement our bodies with 60 minerals a day. Without those minerals, whatever many vitamins we take are useless. The ideal mineral supplement is full spectrum, meaning 65-75 individual elements, organic, acidic, and negatively charged.
But buyer beware. Not all supplements are the same. Many don’t have what is on their label. There have been numerous news stories of products being analyzed and the majority of the product was a “filler”, not the mineral. It is vital that it is third-party verified. That means the company pays an independent company to randomly check the quality of the product to make sure it is what it says it is, and that the company maintains that standard for the consumer.

Summer’s winding down, but the garden bounty is bumper. We’ve definitely noticed a huge difference in the garden since our neighbor removed the towering 80ft pecan tree. More sun = less mildew and a seemingly more productive summer growing season.
Every square inch of the raised beds are filled and overflowing with beans, cucumbers, basil, tomatoes, squash and hearty summer greens.
Partnering with two other local (organic) farmers in the LA area, we are happy to be able to bring you sweet corn & watermelon — that are to DIE for!!!!
Our two fig trees are producing like crazy so these purple beauties will also be in the farm boxes this week. Black figs are an excellent source of anti-oxidants and minerals like calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, iron, selenium
Also our mexicola avocado tree, which is fruiting early this year, and loaded with small teardrop fruits. Did you know that the Mexicola Avocado originated about 1910 right here in Pasadena, California? These small, cold tolerate avocados have smooth, black skin which is edible. Yes, you can eat the skin!
In addition to your super fresh veggies and fruits, adds on this week include raw honey, assorted fruit preserves and sourdough bread baked our neighbor and small-scale artisan baker that sources her flour from the famous Grist and Toll mill in Pasadena.
Produce offerings change on a seasonal basis (that’s a good thing!) Nature is not a 24-7 convenience store.
What makes our farm box program different?
We work with you to make our farm box program work for you. You won’t be stuck with too many squashes or produce you can’t use.
Flexible payment options weekly, monthly, quarterly
Customize and select what you prefer to receive in your box
Weekly or bi weekly pick up options

Your engine computer will prevent you from over-reving the engine. 4,000 RPM isn't even in the peak power band of your engine, according to the year of the engine, it's closer to 4,750 RPM for peak torque/HP. The V-10 engine is made for high revs, it's got smaller pistons but more of them to give higher RPMs safely. Running it below 4,000 RPM climbing a grade is actually harder on it than letting it rev higher.
Check the information sticker next to the driver's position. It will give you the GCWR(Gross Combination Weight Rating) which is the maximum weight of your RV and toad. The maximum weight of your RV alone is called the GVWR(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) The difference between the GCWR - GVWR is the maximum weight of any towed trailer or auto. If you actually take your RV to a truck scale loaded for a trip, then you could subtract that # from the GCWR and see what's left for the toad.
There's many options and opinions on towing, 4 down or with a dolly. 4 down is convenient, but costs a lot to set up unless you keep an eye on Craig's List for used equipment. Using a dolly allows you to trade cars more easily but then you have storage and strap down issues.

Exploring resilient observability in traffic-monitoring sensor networks: A study of spatial-temporal vehicle patterns

Tang, J., Wan, L., Nochta, T., Schooling, J., & Yang, T. (2020). Exploring resilient observability in traffic-monitoring sensor networks: A study of spatial-temporal vehicle patterns. ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 9 (4) https://doi.org/10.3390/ijgi9040247
Vehicle mobility generates dynamic and complex patterns that are associated with our day-to-day activities in cities. To reveal the spatial temporal complexity of such patterns, digital techniques, such as traffic monitoring sensors, provide promising data-driven tools for city managers and urban planners. Although a large number of studies have been dedicated to investigating the sensing power of the traffic-monitoring sensors, there is still a lack of exploration of the resilient performance of sensor networks when multiple sensor failures occur. In this paper, we reveal the dynamic patterns of vehicle mobility in Cambridge, UK, and subsequently, explore the resilience of the sensor networks. The observability is adopted as the overall performance indicator to depict the maximum number of vehicles captured by the deployed sensors in the study area. By aggregating the sensor networks according to weekday and weekend and simulating random sensor failures with different recovery strategies, we found that (1) the day-to-day vehicle mobility pattern in this case study is highly dynamic and decomposed journey durations follow a power-law distribution on the tail section; (2) such temporal variation significantly affects the observability of the sensor network, causing its overall resilience to vary with different recovery strategies. The simulation results further suggest that a corresponding prioritization for recovering the sensors from massive failures is required, rather than a static sequence determined by the first-fail–first-repair principle. For stakeholders and decision-makers, this study provides insightful implications for understanding city-scale vehicle mobility and the resilience of traffic-monitoring sensor networks.

Churchfitters, “Folk Unlimited”
St. Anne’s Library
Thursday 23 March, 7pm
The Dog Inn, Belthorn
Friday 24 March, 7.45pm
Melling Village Institute
Saturday 25 March, 7.30pm
A renowned folk band will bring their array of instruments, including many they’ve built themselves, to three Lancashire venues this month.
Churchfitters will perform in St. Anne’s Library on Thursday 23 March at 7pm, followed by The Dog Inn in Belthorn on Friday 24 March at 7.45pm and Melling Village Institute near Carnforth on Saturday 25 March at 7.30pm.
Tickets for the shows, which are suitable for ages 5+, can be booked directly from the venues. For the St. Annes show they can be purchased directly from library staff or booked by emailing email@example.com. For The Dog Inn, the number to call is 01254 433188 and for Melling the number is 01524 222225.
Churchfitters are a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms and traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.
The musicians’ stage bristles with instruments – adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades.
Throw in some exquisite harmonies, a slew of startlingly original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you’ve got a high energy show that always leaves audiences cheering.
The trio, who are based in France, comprises Brit siblings Rosie and Chris Short alongside Frenchman, Boris Lebret.
Speaking ahead of the Lancashire shows, Chris said:
“We are very excited about our first ever rural tour in Lancashire. I’m polishing the fiddle, tuning up my glass harp and sharpening my musical saw while Boris is donning his magic boots and readying his Mercedes-Benzouki to accompany Rosie’s gorgeous vocals, sax, whistle and banjo. We can’t wait to meet our audiences!”
The shows form part of Spot On Lancashire’s spring season of touring, taking professional arts events to rural venues and libraries across the county.

FEBRUARY 6, 2013 — Pivotal LNG, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources (NYSE: GAS), and WesPac Midstream LLC say they have been selected by TOTE, Inc. to provide liquefied natural gas to fuel TOTE's two new dual fuel containerships in Jacksonville, FL.
TOTE's new dual fuel ships are expected to be delivered from shipbuilder NASSCO in late 2015 and early 2016 and will operate between Jacksonville and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Pivotal LNG, Inc., WesPac and TOTE have signed a letter of intent and are working toward definitive agreements. Pivotal LNG, Inc. and WesPac plan to create a joint venture that will develop a new liquefied natural gas plant in Jacksonville, Fla.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by TOTE to supply their two new LNG container ships. We look forward to working with TOTE and WesPac to develop opportunities that help meet the growing demand for LNG as an alternative fuel solution in the Jacksonville area," said Stephen Cittadine, president of Pivotal LNG.
AGL Resources, the parent company of Pivotal LNG, is one of the largest operators of liquefaction facilities in the U.S., primarily through its distribution utility operations that use the LNG facilities for peak-shaving services for customers when demand is highest.
In addition, Pivotal LNG owns and operates a merchant LNG facility and sells LNG wholesale to truck fleets and other high horsepower engine operators.
"With access to multiple LNG supply locations and its merchant liquefaction facility in Trussville, Alabama, Pivotal LNG is uniquely positioned to offer consistent fuel supply and flexible solutions to businesses looking to make LNG their fuel of choice," said Mr. Cittadine.
WesPac is a private energy infrastructure company with several small LNG facilities under development in North America. WesPac LNG projects are focused on high-horsepower engine applications including oil-to-gas fuel switching in power plants, commercial ships, railroad locomotives and trucking.

Unite union warns of disruption to Groupe PSA
Britain’s most powerful union has threatened to disrupt the local operations of the French carmaker behind Peugeot and Citroën unless it supports saving two factories at Ellesmere Port and Luton.
Len McCluskey, general secretary of Unite, told Groupe PSA of his “willingness to disrupt” the company in Britain if the carworkers were not listened to.
Vauxhall and Opel were sold to PSA last year. Fears for the future of the Vauxhall car factory at Ellesmere Port have grown since the new bosses cut one shift and 650 jobs. A decision on its future is due this year.
Mr McCluskey said that a meeting at PSA’s headquarters in Paris yesterday had been “helpful . . . We had a frank exchange and are now clear on

Stars: 5 out of 5
This book is a big step up from the first book in the series, at least in my opinion. The story is top notch, the stakes are higher than ever, and there is substantial character development. In short, everything I like in my books.
We had left Vin and Kelsier’s old crew in charge of the city of Luthadel, the capital of the Final Empire, right after Vin killed the Lord Ruler, thus ending over a thousand years of tyranny. It was a happy ending, of sorts, with the big bad deposited, and our heroes triumphant… minus Kelsier that is, and yes, I’m still salty about that one.
In this book, we deal with the aftermath. What happens after the revolution? After the dead are buried, the victory is celebrated, and people need to decided how to keep on living. There is a city to run, mouths to feed, order to be maintained… all of that while the rest of the Final Empire dissolves into bloody wars as nobles everywhere fight for power and a chance to declare themselves king of a small domain. Which means less people to work the fields and harvest food. And winter is coming. Now, there are three armies at the gates of Luthadel, the Assembly inside the city doesn’t accept Elend’s authority… oh, and the mists linger longer and longer after sunrise, and they started killing people.
I loved that the author put all of his characters through the wringer in this book. Vin, Elend, Sazed, and everyone else had some hard decisions to make, that came with great losses and responsibilities, and, yes, guilt they had to live with afterwards.
And because of that character growth, the relationship between Vin and Elend feels a lot more grounded. It’s not teenage inta-love anymore. They are allies, they trust each other, they are one another’s port in a storm and a strong shoulder to rely on when things get tough. This realization comes a bit later in the book for Vin, because she was still operating under the impression that she had to protect poor weak Elend, being a Mistborn and all. I love that she comes to realize that there are different kinds of strengths, and not having Allomantic powers doesn’t make a person weak or useless. I was on board and fully invested in their relationship in this book while it was mostly eye-rolling in the first one.
Sazed also had some major obstacles to overcome in this book, and I’m not sure where this left him. Damaged, certainly. Disillusioned, most definitely. Heartbroken. I think it was a hard realization for someone who spent his life preserving lore and memories, to discover that none of the religions he remembers could help him at the moment he needed it the most. Or that the greatest prophecy of his people, the one that brought about the Final Empire, was a lie. Something perverted by a greater evil.
I also loved how the stakes kept getting higher and higher in this book. It starts with a besieged city, which is already a desperate situation. But it ends with a much bigger catastrophe and even the annihilation of a whole caste of people, if Terris has truly been sacked by the Steel Inquisitors.
Our heroes fought against a tyrant, but in doing so, they brought something much worse into the world. The question is, what are they going to do about it now? I can’t wait to start book three and find out.
PS: This book had been languishing on my TBR list since 2014. I’m glad I finally got a chance to read it.

A New Boss for U.S. SoccerNeilson Barnard/Getty Images
After years of courtship, the United States men’s national team finally got its man. On Monday, U.S. Soccer presented Jurgen Klinsmann as the new head coach. Klinsmann, who is signed through the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, replaces Bob Bradley, who was fired a few weeks after the USMNT’s Gold Cup final spanking at the hands of its archrival, Mexico. Here are three emerging storylines to keep an eye on as we enter the Klinsmann Era of U.S. Soccer.
It Ain’t Where You’re From, It’s Where You’re At
Watching Bob Bradley talk often felt like watching old people eat. After a summer in which the U.S. women’s national team charmed its way into the hearts of the nation, the USMNT now has a charmer of its own.
Klinsmann might be a German soccer icon, but the California resident was hired as much for his Hollywood savvy and vibrant personality as he was his tactical know-how (which, as many have suggested, is not so hot).
His managerial reputation was made on the success of the German national team in the 2006 World Cup. As the manager of the host nation, Klinsmann’s side played with an aggressive, attacking flair, dazzling many viewers with its style of play. In much the same way that the World Cup changed some opinions about modern Germany, the German national team changed many opinions about German soccer.
Klinsmann, no dummy and no media novice, knows this and knows how to communicate the relationship between nation and national team incredibly well. And make no mistake — he was hired to do exactly that. He wasted no time making the connection in his first press conference as USMNT boss. His eyes twinkling, his fitted shirt casually unbuttoned, California tan evident, he laid a foundation, saying: “I deeply believe that soccer, in a certain way, reflects the culture of a country.”
Turn the Page
One of the hurdles that needed to be cleared to get Klinsmann to sign on was the issue of control. Meaning Klinsmann wanted a lot of it and perhaps U.S. Soccer was not ready to cede it. This can only mean that change is going to come to the USMNT. And, simply reading the Internet tea leaves, it seems like fans are ready for it.
Klinsmann has already talked about playing a proactive style, which means no more of Bradley’s reactive, counterattacking philosophy. He said the team wants “to play possession, we want to dictate the pace of the game, we want our players to improve technically.”
Along with a new style of play, don’t be surprised if you see some new faces. The USMNT defense especially needs a total revamp, and the central midfield might be tinkered with to add more creativity.
Perhaps the most striking thing Klinsmann said during his presser was his interest in amplifying the Latin influence and presence on the USMNT. “So much influence is coming through from the Latin environment that needs to be reflected in the national team,” he said.
Omar Gonzalez might want to grab his boots.
Trial by Fire
While you’d be forgiven for thinking everything was going to be sweetness and light and stylish attacking football from names and faces that reflect America today, I couldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t say this: Don’t get your hopes up at least not too much.
National team reboots take years and years. Then they take more years. Why? Because, unlike when you try to blow up a club side and rebuild it, national teams practice together only on a limited basis and play a limited amount of times. Realistically, if Klinsmann is going to oversee a root-and-branch revamp of the U.S. Soccer setup he is going to need more than three years to get the results fans want. And he might have to go backward before he goes forward.
Problem is, he doesn’t have that much time. World Cup qualifying is right around the corner. And despite the relatively easy group the USMNT has been drawn into, Klinsmann can’t afford any on-the-job mishaps. His biggest challenge might be his first, on Aug. 10 in Philadelphia, when the USMNT takes on Mexico.

Rep. K. Michael Conaway, R-Texas
On April 12, House Agriculture Committee Chairman K. Michael Conaway, R-Texas, released a draft of the 2018 Farm Bill, officially titled the Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018. The legislation reauthorizes many bioenergy-related programs, but provides them with only discretionary funding.
The draft bill spans nearly 650 pages and includes a wide variety of provisions related to farm policy, nutrition, trade, conservation, crop insurance, regulatory reform, rural development, animal health and other topics.
Subtitle E of the legislation includes reauthorizations and discretionary funding for several biofuel and renewable energy programs.

The Indiana Court of Appeals recently interpreted an ambiguous subordination agreement, finding the subordinated creditor was entitled to the appointment of a receiver over the mortgaged property. PNC Bank, National Association v. LA Develop., Inc., --- N.E.2d ---, No. 41A01-107-MF-314, 2012 WL 3156539 (Ind. Ct. App. Aug. 6, 2012). In PNC Bank, the bank loaned funds to a developer in 2004 for the development of two properties. The loans were secured by mortgages on the properties. The mortgages contained a provision under which the developer agreed to the appointment of a receiver.
In 2008, the developer needed additional funds to complete one of the developments. A second lender agreed to loan the developer the additional funds. As part of the loan transaction, the bank entered into separate subordination agreements with the developer and the second lender regarding the bank’s mortgages on the property. Under the subordination agreement between the bank and the second lender, the bank agreed that “all liens, mortgages, encumbrances, security interests, and assignments . . . are hereby expressly SUBORDINATED AND MADE SECONDARY AND INFERIOR . . . .” Id., at *4 (emphasis in original).
In 2011, the bank filed a complaint to foreclose its mortgages on the two properties and immediately moved for the appointment of a receiver over the properties. The second lender filed an objection to the bank’s motion, arguing, among other things, that the bank subordinated its entire mortgages, including the right to request the appointment of a receiver, to the second lender’s mortgage. The trial court agreed, denying the bank’s request for the appointment of a receiver.
The Indiana Court of Appeals reversed, holding that the subordination agreement was ambiguous. It found that both the bank’s interpretation—that it only subordinated its liens—and the second lender’s interpretation—that the bank subordinated of all of its rights and remedies under the mortgages—were both reasonable.
In order to interpret the ambiguous subordination agreement, the court turned to the writings related to the transaction that were executed at the same time as the subordination agreement. The court looked to the forbearance agreement, executed with the subordination agreement, which provided that the bank was “entitled to take any and all action and exercise all rights and remedies granted to it under the Loan Documents by applicable law.” Id. at *10. The forbearance agreement also expressly stated that the bank reserved and retained all rights and remedies in connection with any action or failure by the developer. Id. The Court of Appeals held that the second lender’s argument did not reconcile with this language in the forbearance agreement, which expressly provided that the bank retained all of its other rights. Id. at *11.
The court further reasoned that the second lender’s argument was incorrect because the bank’s default rights and remedies were not located only in the mortgages. For example, the loan agreement permitted the bank to foreclose on the other property, an action the second lender conceded was authorized by the subordination agreement. The court explained that if the bank waived all of its enforcement rights, then its ability to foreclose on the other property would be included in that waiver. Id. The second lender could not pick and choose which rights and remedies the bank subordinated or waived. Id. at *12.
Lenders entering into subordination agreements in Indiana should be careful to address in the agreement the exact rights and remedies that are being subordinated. After PNC Bank, the subordinated creditor may be able to force the appointment of a receiver, even though its lien is junior, if the subordination agreement does not clearly subordinate that remedy.


Nvidia announces Sony Playstation Suite for Tegra-based devices
According to AndroidandMe, Nvidia has announced through its Tegra Zone app that Tegra-based phones and tablets will support the Playstation Suite sometime later this year. This will open up dozens of quality of games for Android devices, something that Apple’s App Store currently has an edge on.
Specific Tegra tablets were not mentioned, but it’s safe to assume that many PSOne classics will make it first before the more advanced titles start coming in.
Before the announcement, the only device certified for Playstation Suite access was Sony’s own upcoming Xperia Play, so the inclusion of Tegra-based tablets will broadly expand Sony’s mobile gaming audience.
Additionally, as tablets get more advanced, they become a more viable platform for a wider range of graphically intensive games. As a result, Tegra 2 chip designer John Guadiosi claims that Playstation 2 games would one day come to Android devices, which is definitely welcoming news for modern gamers everywhere. Future Tegra platforms, such as Kal-El, may very well support the high demands of PS2 games.
Of course, tablets and many smartphones will have the worst of luck when it comes to physical buttons and must rely on touchscreen controls for gaming. This is a major drawback to gaming on these mobile devices, especially when importing console games to small-scale form factors. In the meantime, simpler Playstation games such as turn-based RPGs and side-scrollers should feel right at home.

Joseph Bast studied Economics as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. According to Sourcewatch , he did not complete his degree.
Joseph Bast co-founded the Heartland Institute  in 1984 with David M. Padder. He currently serves as the institute's president and CEO.
Bast is also the publisher of Heartland’s monthly periodical, Environment and Climate News, as well four other like-minded publications.
Bast studied economics as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago. He is the author of several books promoting free-market solutions to different public policy problems including Eco-sanity: a common sense guide to environmentalism.
Stance on Climate Change
Bast claims that most scientists believe that human activity has no appreciable effects on the climate, citing a (since-debunked) 17,000-name petition run by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine .
Some of Bast's assertions include that:
"Most scientists do not believe human activities threaten to disrupt the
Earth's climate" (This is referring to the Oregon Petition).
"Our most reliable sources of temperature data show no global warming
"Global climate computer models are too crude to predict future climate
- "The IPCC did not prove that human activities are causing global warming."
"A modest amount of global warming, should it occur, would be beneficial
to the natural world and to human civilization."
"Efforts to quickly reduce human greenhouse gas emissions would be costly
and would not stop Earth's climate from changing."
"The best strategy to pursue is 'no regrets.' The alternative to demands
for immediate action to "stop global warming" is not to do nothing."
September 19, 2013"The IPCC – and all the mainstream media and environmental extremists who cite it uncritically — really have become a joke in the scientific community."
In reference to the Chinese Academy of Sciences' rebuttal of the IPCC's assessment, just months before COP19 in Warsaw, Poland, Bast said:
"This is a historic moment in the global debate about climate change... The translation and publication of a comprehensive critique of the IPPC’s alarmist reports by a leading national academy of sciences is one more sign of the trend toward skepticism and away from alarmism."
"The benefits of a modest warming would outweigh the costs – by $8.4 billion a year in 1990 dollars by the year 2060, according to Robert Mendelsohn at Yale University – thanks to longer growing seasons, more wood fiber production, lower construction costs, lower mortality rates, and lower rates of morbidity (illness)."
As the president and CEO of the Heartland Institute , Bast helped organize and introduce the First  (March 2008), Second  (March 2009), Third  (June 2009), Fourth  (May 2010), Fifth  (Oct 2010), Sixth  (June 2011), and Seventh  (May 2012) international conferences on climate change.
June 21, 2005
Wrote and designed a series of six brochures on environmental issues for distribution to elected officials, journalists, and other audiences.
Wrote, co-directed, and co-produced a 20-minute video titled Coming Out of the Ice. The video covered a variety of public policy issues such as tort reform, privatization, school reform, and taxes.

Effect of semolina pudding prepared from starch branching enzyme IIa and b mutant wheat on glycaemic response in vitro and in vivo: a randomised controlled pilot study†
Refined starchy foods are usually rapidly digested, leading to poor glycaemic control, but not all starchy foods are the same. Complex carbohydrates like resistant starch (RS) have been shown to reduce the metabolic risk factors for chronic diseases such as hyperglycaemia and overweight. The aim of the project was to develop a semolina-based food made from a starch branching enzyme II (sbeIIa/b-AB) durum wheat mutant with a high RS content and to measure its glycaemic index using a double-blind randomised pilot study. We report here the amylose, RS and non-starch polysaccharide concentration of raw sbeIIa/b-AB and wild-type control (WT) semolina. We measured RS after cooking to identify a model food for in vivo testing. Retrograded sbeIIa/b-AB semolina showed a higher RS concentration than the WT control (RS = 4.87 ± 0.6 g per 100 g, 0.77 ± 0.34 g per 100 g starch DWB, respectively), so pudding was selected as the test food. Ten healthy participants consumed ∼50 g of total starch from WT and sbeIIa/b-AB pudding and a standard glucose drink. Capillary blood glucose concentrations were measured in the fasting and postprandial state (2 h): incremental area-under-the-curve (iAUC) and GI were calculated. We found no evidence of difference in GI between sbeIIa/b-AB pudding and the WT control, but the starch digestibility was significantly lower in sbeIIa/b-AB pudding compared to the WT control in vitro (C90 = 33.29% and 47.38%, respectively). Based on these results, novel sbeIIa/b-AB wheat foods will be used in future in vivo studies to test the effect of different RS concentrations and different food matrices on glycaemia.
