Pakistan reported its first "suspected" case of the new coronavirus variant Omicron in a woman in Karachi on Wednesday, Sindh Health Minister Dr Azra Fazal Pechuho said, adding that a genomic study was being carried out for confirmation.
In a video message, she said that the genomic study of the coronavirus patient's sample had not been conducted but "the way the virus is behaving, it seems like it is Omicron."
She further said the patient was 57 years old.
"Omicron is very transmissible but deaths or serious [conditions] have not been seen in recent reports coming from South Africa (where the variant was first detected). There is no cause for concern. We are conducting a genomic study which will take one or two weeks."
It would be confirmed whether the woman was infected with the Omicron variant once the study was completed, she added.
"The virus also spreads because people are not vaccinated. This woman was not vaccinated either. I am appealing to you to get the second dose and if you are fully vaccinated, get the booster dose. It can protect you," she stressed.
The minister's statement came hours after her spokesperson Mehar Khursheed confirmed the detection of the first Omicron case in a woman from Karachi. She said the infected woman was unvaccinated and had been admitted for treatment at Aga Khan University Hospital.
According to a letter written by the district health officer of Karachi's East district to the provincial director general of health, the Regional Disease Surveillance and Response Unit in the metropolis "reported the first case of new Covid-19 'Omicron' variant on December 8, 2021, at 7pm".
The letter, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, stated that the woman, who was 65 years of age, was unvaccinated and did not have a travel history. She was discharged from the hospital on Wednesday and was isolating at home.
The rapid response team was "taken on board immediately" for tracing, testing, quarantining, vaccination and other preventive measures to control the infection's spread as per the guidelines of the National Command and Operation Centre, the letter stated.
The district's health team also "immediately" contacted the woman's family to take a detailed history and trace her contacts.
The deputy commissioner of the district was also requested to take the necessary action — micro smart lockdown — according to the letter.
Meanwhile, the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Islamabad said the sample of the coronavirus patient was "not yet confirmed to be Omicron via whole-genome sequencing" which would be performed after the NIH received the sample.
A statement issued by the Aga Khan University Hospital later in the day stated that the hospital had received the "first patient suspected of [having] the Covid-19 Omicron variant".
"We are awaiting the results of the final (genome sequencing) confirmatory test, which will take a few days. We have reported the suspected patient to the health department for their action. The patient did well and has been discharged," the hospital's spokesperson Anam Haleem said in the statement.
He added that the hospital's prevention and management protocols was Covid-19 are adequate for the treatment of the coronavirus.
Last month, Federal Planning Minister Asad Umar and Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Health Dr Faisal Sultan had sounded the alarm, saying that the arrival of the Omicron variant was inevitable and a matter of time.
"This [strain] has to spread in the whole world as we saw before that when a variant comes, the world is so interconnected that it is impossible to stop it," Umar had said, adding that vaccination was the most logical solution to curb the threat.
On November 30, the Sindh government issued new guidelines — applicable from December 1-15 — to curb Covid-19's transmission in wake of the threat posed by the new variant.
Covid-19 curbs in Sindh:
- Indoor, outdoor gatherings allowed for vaccinated individuals. For Karachi, Sukkur and Sanghar the limit is 500 people for indoor events and 1,000 for outdoor. For the rest of the province it is 300 people for indoor and 1,000 for outdoor.
- Indoor dining allowed for vaccinated people till 11:59pm. 70pc occupancy for Karachi, Sukkur, and Sanghar and 50pc for the rest of the province.
- Outdoor dining is allowed for fully vaccinated citizens till 11:59pm.
- Markets and businesses can function till 10pm while essential services can operate 24/7.
- Shrines, indoor gyms and cinemas are open for fully vaccinated individuals.
- 100pc attendance at offices with routine timings.
- Amusement parks and swimming pools will operate at 70pc occupancy in Karachi, Sukkur and Sanghar and 50pc for the rest of the province.
The Sindh chief secretary had also directed the district administration to exhibit its full commitment to enforcing non-pharmaceutical interventions and take strict action against violators.
The Sindh health department had also earlier decided to inoculate all residents with a booster shot of Pfizer keeping in view the increased risk of transmission and re-infection posed by the Omicron variant.
Pakistan had placed a complete ban on Nov 27 on travel from six south African countries — South Africa, Lesotho, Eswatini, Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia — and Hong Kong in the wake of the variant's discovery.
This travel ban was later extended to nine more countries — Croatia, Hungary, Netherlands, Ukraine, Ireland, Slovenia, Vietnam, Poland and Zimbabwe.
Additionally, the NCOC placed 13 countries comprising United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Trinidad and Tobago, Azerbaijan, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Russia, Thailand, France, Austria, Afghanistan and Turkey in category B.
All passengers from these countries need to be fully vaccinated, while everyone above the age of six must possess a negative PCR test report issued not more than 48 hours before boarding.
Omicron has been classified by the World Health Organisation as a "highly transmissible" variant — the same category that includes the predominant Delta variant.

Bizarre footage emerged of a woman taking a leak at a men’s urinal when the line for the women’s toilet got too long.
The video shows the woman, beer in hand, standing up with her shorts and underwear at her knees.UEFA confirms players in Super League will be banned from international football
Other men stand beside her as she steadies herself on the wall for balance.
She squats slightly before relieving herself in front of other male toilet users, some of who are cheering her on.
The video is believed to have been filmed during an NFL match between the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets in Florida, US, on October 22.
It has now been shared millions of times on social media after being posted to a number of Instagram accounts.
Billy Corben – a documentary maker in Miami who focused on American Football in his film The U – posted the clip for his 15,000 followers.
He captioned it: ‘NSFW. Miami woman pees in men’s room urinal at Sunday’s Dolphins-Jets game at Hard Rock Stadium because Miami (and New York).’
Thousands of people have watched the video on his page, with many commenting on the woman’s technique.
One person, named get_fareal, commented: ‘How is she doing that?’Road set alight as protesters clash with police in fresh Northern Ireland unrest
Another, chi11ee, described the act as ‘gross and terrible’.
It’s unclear if the woman, wearing a pink top, was using a portable female urinating device to allow her to stand and pee easily.
The other men stood beside her seem unbothered by her presence, and continue to use the toilet themselves.
The woman in the video has not been identified.

DENVER — Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid designed to treat severe pain. The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) estimates it is 100 times more potent than morphine.
Illicit fentanyl is being mixed in counterfeit prescription pills, killing Coloradans at an alarming rate. Following a drug bust in Colorado this week where 110,000 counterfeit pills cut with fentanyl were seized, one Front Range District Attorney is calling for revised laws surrounding the drug.
DEA Denver Field Division Acting Special Agent in Charge David Olesky said a year ago, a large seizure would have been anywhere from 5,000-10,000 counterfeit pills laced with fentanyl. “Last year, or fiscal year '21 for DEA, we seized 9.5 million pills. That is the equivalent of both fiscal year '19 and fiscal year '20 combined," said Olesky.
DEA testing revealed two out of every five counterfeit pills usually seized during these operations contain fatal doses of fentanyl. So, the 110,000 pills taken off the streets during this investigation potentially saved 40,000 lives, according to Olesky.
The state health department website reports fentanyl related overdoses have more than doubled each of the last three years, topping out last year at 540 deaths. As of August 2021, there have been 612 drug overdose deaths involving fentanyl.
“Colorado’s drug laws, especially when it comes to fentanyl, are behind the times. Right now, it’s four grams of fentanyl is a drug misdemeanor level one, to have that in your possession. Now, what does it take to kill somebody? Two milligrams. Think about that NutraSweet packet that you put in your coffee every morning. Just two little grains of that can kill somebody. So, what we allow people to carry around as a misdemeanor is actually enough to kill over a thousand people. And that allows drug distributors to potentially walk around with too much of this, and then face almost no consequences," said the District Attorney for the 18th Judicial District, John Kellner.
Kellner is referencing a Colorado law that went into effect in March of 2020. The Offense Level for Controlled Substance Possession legislation, which was HB19-1263, made the possession of four grams or less of controlled substances listed in Schedule I or II a misdemeanor charge, rather than a felony. Fentanyl is a Schedule II controlled substance.
The law does not apply to certain drugs, like those in the categories of bath salts or date rape drugs.
“We need to have a sentence enhancer, much like the federal government has, for drug distribution causing death. And what that would do, is it would raise the penalty for the people who peddle this poison so that when they do this and somebody dies, they are going to prison for a long time. Because the message needs to be sent that we will not tolerate this in Colorado," said Kellner.
On July 25 of this year, two young lives were taken by fentanyl. Matt Riviere said his sons, Andrew and Stephen, lived together in a Colorado Springs apartment. Andrew was 21 years old and Stephen was 19, and the two brothers were always close. “I just really miss my kids, especially as the holidays approach," said Riviere.
Riviere said his sons took what they thought was an oxycodone, but was actually a counterfeit pill containing fentanyl. The two died side-by-side in their apartment, according to Riviere. “I don't look at my boys as they overdosed. They got poisoned. And these drug dealers, manufacturers, should be responsible for their deaths. They should be charged with murder," said Riviere.
Riviere shared his son's stories, hoping to save other lives, and potentially change a law. “These kids just don't know what they're doing. In some ways, they're innocent. They're trying something, they're making bad choices. But it's one and done... It's a life that will never be brought back. And it's going to be a life that's going to be missed for eternity," said Riviere.
Proponents of the legislation have said it protects non-violent drug offenders from harsh punishments, giving them a better chance at getting their lives back on track.

Artillery Duel is a artillery game originally written for the Bally Astrocade by Perkins Engineering and published by Bally in 1982. Xonox published ports for the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, and VIC-20. Artillery Duel was featured in several double-ended cartridges—with one game on each end—as well as in a single cartridge.
The game consists of dueling cannons on either side of a hill or mountain of varying height and shape. Each player has control of the incline and force behind the shell launched, the objective being to score a direct hit on the opposing target. Where many versions gave the player a few tries on the same course, Artillery Duel switches to a new mountain after each turn. When the player does manage to hit the opposing cannon, the reward is a brief animation of comically marching soldiers at the bottom of the screen.
Danny Goodman of Creative Computing Video & Arcade Games said after visiting the summer 1982 Consumer Electronics Show that "the cleverest graphics award goes to Artillery Duel" for the Bally Astrocade, describing it as "really a graphics showpiece with a little bit of player interaction thrown in".

Grated Parmesan Cheese Companies Can’t Escape Food Fraud Litigation on Excess Cellulose
Grated parmesan companies Kraft Heinz Co. and SuperValu Inc. have not been able to end multidistrict litigation that began in 2016, alleging food fraud for excess cellulose as an anticaking agent. While the defendants argue that the cellulose acted as an anticaking agent, plaintiffs allege that the cellulose was being used as a filler in the cheese marketed as “100% cheese.”
A federal district court judge in Illinois has denied Plaintiff’s attempt to amend their complaints to reintroduce previously dismissed defendants, Publix and Target/ICCO. The judge also dismissed state law claims requiring plaintiffs to demonstrate that they relied on misrepresentations to make their purchases because of the plaintiff’s deficient pleadings. However, other state consumer protection claims that do not have the same reliance requirement have been allowed to proceed because the pleadings were sufficient for such claims.
While FDA’s grated cheese regulation allows for companies to add cellulose as an anticaking agent in cheese to prevent clumping, using more than the minimum amount required to achieve the anticaking effect presents the possibility of a food fraud allegation.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA21) – A “renewed and revised” public health order took effect in Allen County on Sunday, as local officials sought to curb the upswing in COVID-19 cases.
The county’s health commissioner announced the order on Friday.
It follows limits on social gatherings laid out in Gov. Eric Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-50. The order also continues capacity limits in restaurants, bars and fitness centers.
Those parameters depend on the county’s status in the color-coded categories outlined previously.
“It is imperative our community remains vigilant practicing the public health measures we know work to help slow the spread of COVID-19,” said health commissioner Dr. Matthew Sutter. “While we continue to experience a high rate of cases and hospitalizations, we hope the extension of this order in addition to the Governor’s efforts will enable Allen County to avoid further overwhelming our healthcare system until we have widespread distribution of a safe, effective vaccine.”
The number of attendees at social gatherings is limited by the color metric of each Indiana county. Local health departments are no longer allowed to grant permission for larger events.
The full Allen County public health order can be viewed here.

Much like many of the ski resorts in Summit County, Colorado; Copper Mountain is looking to enhance its summer activities to draw more visitors during the summer season.
Copper Mountain in Colorado is owned by Park City, Utah-based Powdr Corporation. They are proposing adding an alpine coaster on the west-side of the American Flyer lift and a mountain bike trail to enhance the resorts appeal to summer visitors. An additional part of the proposal is to add more snowmaking machines for the winter months.
Gary Rodgers, Copper Mountain Resort President and General manager expressed the idea of having more summer activities at Copper mountain is to improve the overall commercial economy at Copper.
Many resorts are doing very similar things to enhance their economic growth during the summer months.
Breckenridge Ski Resort for example has the “Epic Experience” that has enhanced the ski resort in the summer for visitors with zip lines, additional hiking & mountain biking trails, rock climbing walls, additional on-mountain restaurants open in the summer and an alpine coaster. Places like Keystone Resort and Winter Park are both known for drawing in mountain bikers during the summer months with their extensive trail/downhill systems.
The proposal for enhancing resort summer activities is permitted under the 2011 Ski Area Recreational Opportunities Enhancement Act. This act allows existing ski resorts nationwide already operating on federal lands to pursue summer recreation activities. The law updated the National Forest Ski Permit Act of 1986 which limited mountain recreation to only alpine and Nordic skiing.
If the public and environmental studies give this project the green-light, Copper could receive approval as early as fall of this year, and then begin construction and installation by the summer of 2017.
Alpine Coaster Facts
The alpine coaster is estimated to be a multi-million-dollar project. While it has been noted the coaster is practically silent and self-contained, it is the largest and most visual proposed change to the mountain.
Though engineering plans have yet to be finalized, if completed as designed it would feature the following:
- Track length of 5,800 feet.
- Decent of 3,950 feet.
- Vertical Drop of 430 feet.
- Longest coaster of its kind in North America.
- Operate during the summer and winter months (weather permitting).
Copper has partnered with the Aquatic Development Group (ADG) for the coaster project. The amusement-ride builder completed a similar alpine coaster for Killington Ski Resort in Vermont (another resort owned by Powdr Corp.).

The first challenge of an analytics department is that they are off on their own and no one else in the company knows what they do. The second challenge is that they get discovered and everyone starts thinking of studies the analytics team could work on. This quickly leads to an infinity of requests for analytics work.
- Prioritize (obvious but disappointing)
- Delegate (tempting but too often not possible)
- Avoid (ahh, that’s something we’ve overlooked, how do we do that?)
That the company needs to prioritize requests for analytics is obvious to everyone involved, but it’s a frustrating option. We want people to embrace analytics and then we end up in a role where we spend half our time telling people we won’t do the analytics they want.
The problem of infinite requests will be familiar to experienced IT professionals who have long lived with the same phenomenon. They will also be familiar with the fact that if you push away or endlessly delay important requests then managers will just go around you and do their own shadow IT projects. The world of analytics is new enough that shadow analytics projects have not become a common problem. That’s yet to come — and it will come.
We could spend some time exploring the problems shadow analytics will bring; however, that’s not the focus of this article. Just be aware that it will bring problems such as departments doing analytics poorly and giving results that differ from those reported by the core analytics team.
Delegating some analytics work to other people in HR or directly to managers via interactive dashboards is appealing. The challenge is that this only deals with some of the simpler requests for data, leaving the analytics team still burdened with the more complex work. Providing do-it-yourself tools is a good idea, but the real value comes in when we link them to the tactic of avoiding analytics requests.
Understanding how to avoid doing analytics while still addressing the business problem brings to mind a story. I was meeting with an HR leader and discussing whether we could use the statistical tool of “survival analysis” to glean insights on increasing the number of women making partner in their professional services firm. We struggled a bit because neither of us had any great degree of depth in that statistical technique. Furthermore, we both had the instinct that unleashing the tool on the data probably wouldn’t reveal anything dramatically useful.
If we’d had an analytics department we would have asked them to do it; complained loudly if they said it was a low priority, and if they tried to delegate the work back to us we’d explain that we lacked the technical ability to do so.
Then I asked, “How many people are we talking about?”
He said, “Eight”
I asked, “And where are they?”
He said, “Right down that hall.”
The solution to finding ways to improve retention was to walk down the hall and talk to people. We could avoid a complex analytics project by taking a different approach to gathering insights on the business problem.
The deeper answer to infinite demand
Analytics is an exciting tool. Everyone wants to try it out. However, the mistake many organizations make is that they start with the tool rather than with the business problem. HR pros across the organizations (in fact, all professionals and managers) need to learn to be “analytics savvy,” which means knowing how to start with a business problem and tackle it with an evidence-based, grounded-in-data approach. Sometimes that will mean involving the analytics department; sometimes it will involve walking down the hall to talk to people.
Furthermore, the do-it-yourself tools given to HR become a lot more useful when an HR pro has clarity about what they are trying to solve for. These tools may provide enough of an answer on their own if the HR pro is really clear on the decision they are trying to make, or the tools may provide part of the answer the rest of which HR can get using methods other than advanced analytics.
As with any organizational resource, there will always be more demand than supply. With analytics, we can get ahead of the problem by helping professionals and managers learn to clearly define the problem so that heavy duty analytics are only asked for when it is truly justified.

Rep. Jim Bridenstine: 'We Would Be Heroes' for Shutting Down Government to Defund Obamacare
Even though only thirty-four percent of Americans want to repeal health care reform (and even fewer support shutting down the government in order to do so), Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) confidently predicted that Americans — Republican and Democrat alike — will treat GOP members of Congress as “heroes” is they shut down the government over Obamacare funding.
“We would be heroes,” Bridenstine said while speaking with Family Research Council head Tony Perkins, “you know somebody was showing me polling about government shutdown this and government shutdown that, we don’t want to shut down the government, we want to fund the government, we just want to have a limitation amendment that defunds Obamacare.”
The congressman’s remarks echoed those of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who believes that President Obama is actually the one threatening a government shut down because he won’t bend to his demands to defund the health care law.
Bridenstine added that Obama should be grateful that Republicans would support any resolution funding the government at all: “Look, we’re willing to reluctantly fund all of the rest of the government; all we’re asking for is this one item.”

I admit that I didn’t understand the excitement that offering peas and carrots to someone for the first time could bring until I had a baby. It was actually embarrassing how excited I was to start Ayla on solid foods. So when she began to show readiness signs, the nutrition wheels immediately began turning in my head. What should her first food be? Should it be a puree or finger food? How slowly should I introduce each new food? Do I want to hold off on anything for a few months?
I am a planner and a researcher at heart. I have always liked to have all of the information before I get started on a project, and I instantly become a sponge for knowledge. My favourite research topics are health and nutrition related, and over the years, I have done a lot of related reading. But when it came to the world of baby nutrition, I was a pretty blank slate. Sure, lots of basic nutrition principles apply to all of us, regardless of age, but I knew there was a whole world of baby-specific nutrition articles and healthy mamas to be inspired by for this chapter of my life.
The first step was to decide: purees or finger foods? There are arguments for both, but in the end I decided to go with… both. Just like nutrition “labels”, I’ve never liked to limit or pigeon hole myself into one category of eating. The same was true when it came to feeding Ayla.
I loved the concept of baby led weaning (or baby led feeding, as it is sometimes referred to) for several reasons. Because baby is in charge of what goes into her mouth and how much, it fosters a positive relationship with food from the very beginning. The self feeding method supports fine motor development and offers a variety of sensory experiences. Even though constant supervision is required, of course, it frees up mom and dad’s hands so they can eat at the same time. That means that family meal time can be established from the get-go, allowing parents to model eating skills at the dinner table.

The circulation of the new Kenya currency began on Tuesday after President Uhuru Kenyatta unveiled the new look Kenya coin.
The President termed the new coins as a milestone for the country as it depicted the implementation of the constitution.
He said the new features remind Kenyans on the country’s rich history as well as cohesion, culture and socio economic agenda.
Addressing a high level delegates meeting at the Central bank of Kenya on Tuesday, President Uhuru said the coins are also favorable for the visual impaired persons and that it would create space for the country’s unity.
“Unveiling these new generation coins enable all Kenyan to reflect on their country rich culture as well embrace the development agenda and country’s transformation plan,” he noted.
The President however appealed to financial institutions to avail credit to young entrepreneurs who despite having great and unique ideas they find it almost impossible to access credits to initiate and expand their economic agenda.
“We can spend all the time training the youth in entrepreneurship, but if don’t avail them credit, we will not achieve our development goal,” he added.
President Uhuru urged the Central bank of Kenya to seek guidance or assistance from the government so that it can be accorded the required resources for driving the development wheel.
He however appealed to public institutions to show dedication and zeal to serve the country so as to uplift the country’s economy.
CBK Governor Dr. Patrick Njoroge said the new currency will unite Kenyans as it reflects the country’s rich environment, talents, culture among much other vast potential that reflects nationalism and Kenya’s history.

Ukraine Launches NFT 'Museum of War' in Crypto Crowdfunding Push
Ukraine started auctioning off a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on Friday in an expansion of a cryptocurrency fundraising push that Kyiv says has already collected more than $65 million for its war effort.
The ‘Meta History: Museum of War’ collection is a series of digital images – including silhouettes of warplanes, screengrabs of news reports and a cartoon-style image of an explosion – each one marking a different day in the conflict.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation started appealing for donations in digital tokens such as bitcoin and ether three days after Russia launched its invasion, which Moscow calls a “special military operation”.
The new NFT series was meant “to spread truthful information among the digital community in the world and to collect donations for the support of Ukraine,” according to a message on the collection’s website.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a type of crypto asset that exploded in popularity last year. They use the technology behind bitcoin to record who owns a digital file from a image to video or piece of text.
Ukraine has so far bought supplies for its military with its crypto donations including bulletproof vests, helmets, lunches and medicines, Ukraine’s deputy minister of digital transformation, Alex Bornyakov, said on Twitter this month.
NFTs are usually bought with cryptocurrencies such as ether. Ukraine’s NFTs will initially cost 0.15 ether, or just over $475. The funds will go directly to Kyiv’s digital crypto wallets, according to the website.
The explosive rise in NFT sales left many observers baffled as to why so much money is spent on items that don’t physically exist.
Still, they have become a popular fundraising tool in recent months, with groups of people pooling their crypto funds to buy NFTs to raise awareness of a particular cause.

The Australian International Chopin Piano Competition was established in 2010, as a part of the Chopin Bicentennial Celebrations. It was initially a joint venture between the Australian National University School of Music and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Canberra. The Friends of Chopin Australia became a partner in the lead up to the 2nd edition in 2014, with primary responsibility for managing and growing the competition in its out years. In 2017 the Friends of Chopin Australia became the primary partner in the Competition with overall responsibility for the competition.
The competition was conceived as bienniel, with a composition competition attached (the winner of which being included in the repertoire of piano competition), as well as various public events to explore the life and music of Fryderyk Chopin more fully. After its 1st edition, the competition moved to a triennial cycle.
The first edition was held in 2011, and the second edition was held in 2014, and the third edition was held in 2017.
The Australian International Chopin Piano Competition Composition Competition (AICPC Composition Competition) seeks to help young Australian composers further develop their careers and to promote the understanding and appreciation of Chopin’s music and its innovation.
The Composition Competition sets a source text from Chopin to be used as the inspiration or foundation for a wholly new and musically demanding piece of contemporary solo piano music. The winning composition is then placed as mandatory repertoire in the semi-finals of the Australian International Chopin Piano Competition.
Polish Music Competition Australia
The PolMusicaA competition (Polish Music Competition Australia) is designed for Australian youth up to the age of 18 in two categories, under 12, and 13 to 16. The repertoire for the competition is exclusively dedicated to music by Polish composers, from the Romantic to Contemporary composers.
The competition consists of the instrumental categories of piano, strings, and vocal, and takes place in October each year.
The competition is organised by the Society of Polish Culture in Victoria, the Polish Community Council of Australia Inc, and the Polish Community Council of Victoria Inc.
The Friends of Chopin Australia is proud to be a supporter of the PolMusicaA competition.


As a child the BBC was the voice of the nation to the nation. The TV License was not ideal but it gave us a window to the outside world in an era where media choice was minimal. It gave us quality entertainment, news and informative documentaries as well as much more.
But times have changed and we are now enriched and empowered with a wealth of media in many forms and in way inconceivable when I was a child. The role of the BBC in this new multimedia environment has shrunk in terms of a proportion and now in real shrinks as the organisation slowly slim downs.
It must be asked why should I be paying a compulsory tax to solely fund an organisation which is no longer a big player in the media world. I look at the audiences that the organisation is aiming at with its now safe mainstream and probably middle class programming and I question why it is considered public service broadcasting, is endless talents shows and antic shows really a matter of public interest?
I believe the TV License monies should be held in a fund where all broadcasters may bid for specific contracts like national and local news services, national sporting events, royal events, parliamentry events, developing a whole range of new talents, trying new media experiments and so on. I believe this may that every penny spent is in the public’s interest.
Public service broadcasting may still be needed but it certainly also needs to be modernised.
I have to be honest and say I do not really understand exactly how and why we have reached this position but it is clear to me that the economy in the UK and worldwide has reached a point of no return.
By this I mean that while we have been in a recession in the belief the economy will simply recover like it has always done, I do not believe this is going to be the case. I have the feeling in the last 20 years there are going to be major changing in the fabric of society when as an international community we learn to live within our humble means. It does not mean necessarily the end of good times but different good times.
I think we need to simply put on our oilskins and lifejackets, and simply weather the storm until the situation has settled down.
Many readers will know that I am a big fan of responsibility as the next step of the true and meaningful inclusion of disabled people as enabled and empowered active citizens. I argue control is not born out of a rights agenda but rather a responsibility one.
It frustrates me organisations who claim to represent disabled people are still fighting for rights 15 years after the Disability Discrimination Act became law rather than supporting disabled people to use the potential powers they already have in the hands. These organisation claim to work in the social model but actually depend on the medical/tragedy/charity model for their existence as human rights and hate crime are used as the modern tools of pity.
If anyone has a specific problem, the only person they can ever truly rely upon to solve it for them is themselves. While it is very easy to shout foul and blame others, it does not solve the issue. It is better to take responsibility and just solve the problem and this includes knowing when you need to ask for some help.
Being responsible should be so easy but it has been made so complex as charities have used human rights to steal responsibilities from individuals. We are however facing an economic situation when everyone must be permitted to play their part however large or small.
Pathway is a database of disability related organisations which I started over 20 years ago. It was created for a different era where information was sparse as they was no internet and I believed information was the key to empowering disabled people. Things have moved on and with tools like Google, it is not possible to get a lot of information very quickly making things like Yellow Pages a thing of the past.
On this basis, I have decided to ‘retire’ the database for public consumption although I will continue to use myself for my own contacts and for many of my business activities. However, I understand there is a need to support people and organisations to finding the right organisations and people they need for their specific requirements.
This is why I am refocusing the brand into a range of new ‘contact discovery’ services, which enables people to discover the contacts that are right for them. For more information please go to;
The alphabet is a very useful tool and to make people remember by brands, I must sure each one begins with a different letter, making my own alphabet as shown below. Each logo links to more information on the brand. So here its goes;

Coventry has been my home since I came to University in 1992 and I have been living here just over half my life and it is certainly somewhere I love and I feel at home with.
This compact city is at the centre of the country with excellent rail and road links in all directions, without the urban feel of Birmingham. It is easy to get to the countryside and there is some beautiful places to visit like Rugby, the home of the game, and Stratford upon Avon, the birthplace of Williams Shakespeare.
The only downside to the city is the lack of nightlife, the city centre is very quiet in the evenings, but that is not really an issue for me.
Not may not be in the top 10 places to visit, it certainly makes a good home.
It is no secret that I am a big fan of the iPad. People who already have an iPad understand the benefits is this clever device while those who do not you can really comprehend why a tablet is an unique device.
iPad is a specific device in its own right which does not replace a computer, for those who really need the power of one. It is however a new option for people who just wanted access to email and internet although the iPad is clearly a whole lot more.
For myself, it provides me with many of the features of a smartphone, since I have 3G on my iPad, which was previously inaccessible for me. It is exactly like one of those magic bags which contains far more items than it can appear to hold.
The iPad has certainly enriched my life and the recent software update brings some nice new features to the tablet.
It has been interesting watching the last 30 years the rise in the use of wetsuits. I remember as a child at the beach, even in the UK, it was common of children and adults to be in just speedos or costumes swimming or playing in the sea and on the beach. Nowadays it is rare on a British beach or on any beach that is not hot hot for anyone not to be wearing some kind of lycra or neoprene garment.
I think one reason for this is that the cost, comfortable and ease to buy wetsuits had radically improved to the point it is a normal beach accessory for children and adults alike. Better awareness of both skin cancer and hypothermia has also made being coverup the preferable option.
For me personally, the wetsuit makes me feel more comfortable and safer in the water as I know I am more prone to the cold and thats is really all that matters.
Last week I booked my Christmas holiday in Costa Tequise, Lanzarote. This is where I went for my last holiday and this best thing about it is clearly the weather. I have realised the weather is now the biggest factor for me as its can overcome much of the downsides of a cheaper holiday. The iPad will also play a key role in my entertainment and contact with others. I actually come back on Christmas Day but it is nice to be doing something rather stuck at home on my own.
I always go on my own for this kind of relaxing holiday because I think it is very important for me to have a week away from my support staff since everyone needs a rest from their work and my work includes managing my staff. I know some people wonder how I manage to go on holiday on my own if I need my own support, but I am confident that by understanding how I manage going away, it makes perfect sense.
As you can see from the photo above, last time I went snorkelling, as well as windsurfing, as it is indeed my intention to do some water sports again this year, I am taking a wetsuit! It is certainly going to be a great end of a great year.
Working out what to charge people for my time is not as easily as it seems. I must balance what I believe I am worth with what others are prepared to pay.
Above rates of £400 per day or £75 per hour plus expenses are my current ideal rates. This mean the current rates I would like to charge people, if I could for just a few days a month at these rates would make be big difference to my life!
The reality is I am not often in the driving seat when it comes to negotiated the deal and I often need to settle for a lesser rate, until my work is better appreciated. Money is not everything but it can certainly make life easier.
And how much do you charge?

The invention is directed to a fuel injection system provided with novel means to adjust a parameter of injection, such as the instant or quantity thereof. A fuel injection system is already known in which an injection parameter adjustment is determined by the rpm of the engine or by the pressure existing in the inner chamber (intake chamber) of an injection pump associated with the fuel injection system. This known system has numerous disadvantages. The known parameter adjustment apparatus does not offer the possibility for an electronic control thereof. Furthermore, the cyclic magnetic valve used in the known fuel injection system causes variations in the instant of ignition. The relatively large operating current needed to actuate the magnetic valves results in high manufacturing costs as well. Finally, should a failure of the electrical system occur, the magnetic valve assumes an extreme position (open or closed) which can be very dangerous for the internal combustion engine. For a better understanding of this subject matter the reader should refer to Eheim et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,630,643 and Leutner et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,644 both of which are assigned to the assignee of this application.
It is a principal object of the novel fuel injection system according to the invention that a direct engagement of an electronic control device with the control sequence of an injection system is possible via the electro-fluidic transducer. Thus, the moment of injection is constantly controlled.
It is a further object of the invention that with an appropriate adjustment of the electro-fluidic transducer, the transducer can be placed in a predetermined position which will not be harmful to the internal combustion engine should the normal engine operation be disturbed.
The invention will be better understood and further objects thereof will become more apparent from the ensuing detailed description of five preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a fuel injection system showing cross-sectional detail of a roller ring associated with an injection pump and a stroke disk for driving the roller ring, the roller ring being rotated by an angle of 90 degrees for purposes of clarity;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a portion of FIG. 1 showing an electro-fluidic transducer with an intensifier stage disposed behind this transducer, wherein a slide bar which acts to displace a slide block is in a central position;
FIG. 3 shows the electro-fluidic transducer according to FIG. 2, wherein the slide bar has been moved into a non-central position;
FIG. 4 shows schematically an arrangement for influencing the injection quantity of an injection pump by means of an electro-fluidic transducer; and
FIG. 5 shows schematically an arrangement for displacing an adjusting rod of an injection pump by means of an electro-fluidic transducer.
The injection pump schematically shown in FIG. 1 forms a portion of a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines. A fuel supply pump 12 is provided for the injection pump 10. The supply pump 12 and the injection pump 10 usually comprises a structural unit. The injection pump 10 has an intake chamber 14 which is filled with fuel by the fuel supply pump 12. Pressurization above atmospheric is provided in the intake chamber 14. The fuel supply pump 12 is provided with as many individual fuel injection pumps 16 as the internal combustion engine (not shown) has combustion chambers. In describing the fuel injection system, though, it is sufficient for clarity for the description to limit itself to the sole individual fuel injection pump 16 shown in the drawing. The individual fuel injection pump 16 includes a pump piston 18 which is rotatable and displaceably guided in an axial direction in a cylinder 20. A stroke disk 22 is positively associated with the extremity of the pump piston 18 protruding from the cylinder 20. This stroke disk 22 is provided with as many cams 24 on its opposite front side, remote from the pump piston 18, as there are individual fuel injection pumps 16. The stroke disc 22 is juxtaposed coaxially with a roller ring 26. In reference to the drawing according to FIG. 1, it must be noted again that the roller ring 26 as shown is rotated at an angle of 90 degrees from its normal orientation. In practice, the peripheral area or surface of the rollers 28 tightly abuts the front side of the stroke disc 22--on which the cams are disposed--when the injection pump 10 is operating. The roller ring 26 further includes a radial attachment 30 which engages a recess 32 in a slide block 34. An annular governor slide 36 is disposed on the pump piston 18 between the stroke disk 22 and the pump piston 18. The governor slide 36 is displaceable in such a manner on the pump piston 18 that it overrides a supply channel 38 for the fuel; this supply channel 38 is provided longitudinally in the piston 18 and discharges laterally through the wall of the pump piston. A bolt 42 of a quantity signaling device 44, via which the governor slide 36 can be displaced on the pump piston 18, engages a pocket 40 disposed in the wall of the governor slide 36.
The slide block 34 cooperating with the attachment 30 of the roller ring 26 is provided in a chamber 46 in a displaceable fashion. In reference to the drawing in FIG. 1 it should be noted here, that the slide block 34, together with its chamber 46, is rotated by 90 degrees, as well, so that its cooperation with the roller ring 26 can be more readily understood. Outlet lines 48, 50 discharge into the chamber 46 from both sides of the slide 34 when the slide block is in the central position in the chamber 46. The outlet line 50 is in connection with an electro-fluidic transducer 52 which has an inlet 54 for a pressure medium flow. A magnetic coil 56, which communicates with an electronic control device 60 via an electric supply line 58, is provided in the electro-fluidic transducer 52. The electronic control device 60 further receives a signal originating from a gas pedal 62 and other operational engine parameters as feedback characteristics, such as temperatures and air pressure (arrows 64). Finally, a closed loop feedback signal of a closed loop feedback means 66 is transmitted to the electronic control device, as well. The closed loop feedback means 66 scans a governor curve 68 disposed on the circumference of the roller ring 26. The signal of a rpm transmitter 70 also is communicated to the electronic control device 60. Control impulses and/or closed loop feedback impulses are guided via control lines 69 and 71 between the electronic control device 60 and the quantity signaling device 44.
The above described fuel injection system functions as follows in reference to the instant invention: the instant of injection must be advanced for known reasons when the rpm level accelerates. So as to achieve this, the roller ring 26 is turned in the direction `forward` by a certain angle in a known manner. In the fuel injection system according to the invention the necessity of this correction is recognized, for example, by the electronic control device 60 via the rpm transmitter 70. The magnetic coil 56 of the electro-fluidic transducer 52 is then excited via the supply line 58 such that a valve 72 disposed downstream of the inlet 54 acts upon one of the outlet lines 48, 50 more strongly than the other. This causes the slide block 34 to be displaced in the direction of the chamber 46 which is being less strongly influenced, whereby the attachment 30 and thus the roller ring 26 are moved as well, because of a relative shift of the position of the recess 32 in the slide block 34. It is obvious that the outlet line 48 or 50, which forces a displacement of the slide block 34 and thus a timing of the roller ring 26 in the desired direction, is more strongly urged by the valve 72. The electronic control device 60 receives information on the position of the roller ring 26 at any given time by the closed loop feedback means 66 which comprises a potentiometer. The inlet 54, by which the pressure medium flow is guided to the electro-fluidic transducer 52, can communicate, for example, with the intake chamber 14 via a pressure line 74. It is also possible, though, that a pressure medium flow for displacing the slide block 34 is guided to the transducer 52, and/or to its inlet 54, from a separate closed circuit and a pump arranged in said circuit.
It is furthermore possible that the electro-fluidic transducer 52 can serve as an input stage to a fluidic intensifier device 80 (FIGS. 2 and 3). In this case the outlet lines 48 and 50 of the transducer 52 are connected to control inlets 82 and 84 of the intensifier device 80. Thus the pressure medium flowing into the inlet 54 of the transducer 52 functions only to control a working-pressure medium flow which is guided to an inlet 86 of the intensifier device 80. The outlets 88 and 90 of the intensifier device 80 lead to the chamber 46 in which the slide block 34 is moveably disposed. FIG. 3 shows that the slide block 34 has been displaced to the right from a neutral central position and the roller ring 26 has been displaced by the attachment 30.
The embodiment according to FIG. 4 shows an apparatus for influencing the quantity of fuel to be injected during a stroke of the piston. The construction of the electro-fluidic transducer corresponds to that described above. The two outlet lines 48, 50 also discharge into the chamber 46 in which a slide block 34 is provided in a displacement manner. A protruberance 92 is provided on a transfer element 94, which comprise a two-armed lever, one arm of which comprises the protruberance 92. A closed loop feedback means 98 which communicates with the control device 60 and a stabilizing spring 100 engage the opposite arm 96. A turning pin 95 is provided centrally of the transfer element 94. The axis of the turning pin 95 is arranged vertically on the transfer element 94. On the side remote from the transfer element 94 the turning pin 95 is provided with an eccentric bolt 42 (see FIGS. 1 and 4) which engages the pocket 40 in the governor slide 36. Rotation of the turning pin 95 causes a displacement of the governor slide 36 on the piston 18.
The embodiment according to FIG. 5 relates to a quantity control device in a fuel injection apparatus with various pump pistons. Certain of such injection pumps are called series injection pumps, because the individual pumps are disposed in series. The regulation of the injection quantity in these injection pumps takes place via an adjusting rod 106 which is displaced either more or less in an axial direction. In the embodiment of the invention according to FIG. 5 the two outlet lines 48 and 50 of the electro-fluidic transducer 52 discharge into a chamber 108 in which a piston 110 is arranged in a displaceable manner. A shaft 112 extending in the direction of displacement of the piston 110 is provided on this piston. The shaft 112 abuts the outward side of the adjusting rod 106. The adjusting rod 106 and the shaft 112 are coupled together in a force-locking or form-locking manner. A helical spring 114 is provided in the chamber 108 to stabilize the action of the piston 110. Furthermore, a closed loop feedback means 116 is provided in engagement with the adjusting rod 106. The closed loop feedback means 116 transmits the instantaneous position of the adjusting rod 106 to the electronic control device 60. To displace the adjusting rod 106, the piston 110 is, according to need, selectively urged more strongly via the outlet line 50 of the electro-fluidic transducer 52, which influences the injection quantity of the individual pumps in the same manner.
It is common to all of the preferred embodiments described above that the apparatus for adjusting a parameter of the injection system, whether instant of injection or quantity of the injection is an electro-fluidic transducer 52 which is controlled by an electronic control device 60.
The two stabilizing springs 100 (FIG. 4) and 114 (FIG. 5) are pre-tensioned so that the governor slide 36 and/or the adjusting rod 106 will assume a non-supplying position in case of any disturbance in the electronic control device 60.
It should be mentioned that the electro-fluidic transducer 52 has been exhaustively described and shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,774,644. The content of this patent is herewith incorporated by reference into the disclosure of this application.
The foregoing relates to preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, it being understood that other embodiments and variants thereof are possible within the spirit and scope of the invention, the latter being defined by the appended claims.

The aim of this study was to enhance our understanding of the relationship between affect-related dispositions to rash action, negative urgency (NU: the tendency to act rashly when in a negative mood), positive urgency (PU: the tendency to act rashly when in a positive mood), and level of nicotine dependence symptoms by examining how the two traits transact with affect-related smoking expectancies. Based on the Acquired Preparedness model of addictive behaviors, we hypothesized that the relationship between PU and level of nicotine dependence would be mediated by positive affect smoking expectancies. We also hypothesized that the relationship between NU and level of nicotine dependence would be mediated by negative affect reduction expectancies. We studied 131 college-aged smokers and found support for this model; positive affect expectancies for smoking mediated the relationship between PU and level of nicotine dependence symptoms. Negative affect reduction smoking expectancies mediated the relationship between NU and level of nicotine dependence. The clinical implications of this research suggest that prevention/intervention programs should include substance-free activities as reinforcement and as ways to deal with extreme positive and negative mood.

Total game changer: learning how to pump in the car.
Since I leave for work before C wakes up (now that I get to work at 7:00 AM), I have to pump in the mornings. I'm sure I'm not the only one who despises having to wake up an extra 20 minutes early to have time to pump before work. I'd read online about pumping in the car during the commute, but it seemed logistically difficult; however, the lure of an extra 20 minutes of sleep each morning eventually won me over, and I bit the bullet and bought a Medela power adapter for my car's cigarette lighter. Now that I've been doing it for a couple of weeks, I love the extra sleep and the feeling that I'm multitasking on my 20-minute drive to work. Here are some tips based on what's been working best for me:
1. Leave an extra 5 minutes early.
It takes me 2-3 minutes to get everything "set up" before I start driving, and another 2-3 minutes to unhook everything when I arrive to work. So I try to leave the house about 5 minutes earlier than I normally do.
2. Hook/unhook everything while your car is in Park (safety first!)
Do not attempt to set up your pumping stuff or unhook it while you're driving, or even while you're at a red light. I set everything up while I'm still parked in my garage, and wait until I'm parked in a parking spot at work before I unhook anything. When I'm ready to stop pumping mid-commute (because it normally doesn't take me the whole time), I'll just unplug the tubing from the pump flanges and let the pump continue to run (and leave everything else - the pump flanges, pumping bra, etc. - where it is). This has a side benefit of allowing the condensation in the tubing to dry out by the time you get to work and turn the pump off.
3. Buy a car power adapter for your pump
Obviously, a power adapter for your pump is a necessary part of the pumping-while-driving equation. I bought mine at Babies R Us for $29.99, less a 20% off coupon. Make sure you check the voltage on your pump - Medela pumps come in both 9V and 12V, so you need to get the right power adapter for your specific pump model.
4. A hands-free pumping bra is a must
It's not possible to pump and drive at the same time (safely, at least) without a hands-free pumping bra. I use the Simple Wishes pumping bra, which I bought off Amazon; it zips up easily over whatever I'm wearing, and is sturdy enough to hold 2 full 8-ounce bottles in place.
5. A nursing cover is another must
Unless you're a pumping exhibitionist, you'll want a nursing cover to hide the whole pumping setup while you drive. I've found it to work best if I put the nursing cover on AFTER I fasten my seat belt, so the nursing cover is on top of everything.
6. Use large (8 or 9-ounce) bottles
I normally pump into the 5-ounce Medela bottles; however, for pumping while driving, I recommend using 8 or 9 ounce bottles. Since you're driving, plus wearing a nursing cover, it's more difficult to monitor how full the bottles are getting. Using larger bottles means I don't have to worry about the bottles overflowing while I'm driving...especially since I'm normally pumping during my morning commute, when my output volume tends to be higher.
7. Have a towel/napkins handy for drips
Whenever we go to a drive-through or get takeout and end up with a handful of restaurant paper napkins, I always just put them in the console between the driver and passenger seats. It's nice to have them nearby to clean up any drips when I'm unhooking all the pump equipment.
8. Get everything organized before you start
I put my purse and the bag I keep all my pump stuff in on the floor on the passenger side. Then, in the passenger seat, I put my pump, a paper napkin, and the Tupperware container (with the lid off) that I keep my pump parts in. I also make sure to clear out my car's cupholders.
When I get to work, I unhook everything with the nursing cover still on; I unscrew the bottles from the pump flanges and put them directly into the 2 cupholders until I get a chance to put caps on them (if I try to hold the bottles upright between my legs, I'm sure I'll end up with milk spilled all over my car). I put the pump flanges directly into the open Tupperware container and put the lid on. I screw caps onto the bottles and put them in my cooler. Then, after I take off the pumping bra and nursing cover, I go into work and walk straight to our "wellness" room, where I put my milk cooler and Tupperware of pump parts in the refrigerator.
