Who’s the greatest?
There’s a way to be competitive without hurting others
By Nancy O’Donnell
Walking down the corridor of the business department in the university where I used to teach, I was struck by a poster on the door of one of the professors. It depicted a man climbing a staircase, with others behind him. The caption was something like, “Knowing how to rise above the others.”
For years I passed by that poster without thinking twice. Then one day during the Olympics, I was thinking how sad it was that getting a silver medal meant one wasn’t an “Olympic champion.” I stopped to ask myself if I agreed with the message it was conveying. Initially I thought not, but it got me thinking.
My mother always told me that I was very competitive, always wanting to be first: first in roller skating, first in the class, first to get picked for a team or a group, the highest award. Growing up, I had my fair share of wins and losses, of coming in “second.” That was especially hard to swallow — that fine margin between first and second, the “what ifs.”
At some point along the way, I began to ask myself what was wrong with a silver medal. When not being first means not being good enough, we run into trouble.
Is competition healthy?
Competitiveness is most often associated with economics or sports. We can also think of it as a factor that forms a part of our personality. It is defined as “the possession of a strong desire to be more successful than others.”
Most societies and cultures encourage their members to be as good as they possibly can be, to strive to improve and grow. These are considered admirable traits
The tricky part is the “others.” We could begin by asking ourselves whether or not we can feel accomplished and successful without others around us who are less accomplished and less successful. In reality, the very definition of competition includes the necessary presence of others against whom one is competing. In a market economy healthy competition among companies ensures growth and protects the consumer.
Being competitive is associated with both desirable and undesirable qualities. On one hand, competition motivates people to achieve more, to push past their limits. Competition also inspires innovation and improves quality.
On the other side, there is the so-called “unhealthy competition” that finds its source in fear. This can be something internal, like a general fear of failure or a very real fear of not getting into your college of choice. The need to receive validation and attention from external sources, which is rooted in insecurity and self-doubt, makes losing more devastating and can lead to competitive behavior that eventually has a negative impact on relationships.
A new level of competition
The fact that competition is fundamentally linked to comparison with others means that globalization has added an entirely new dimension to our competitive behavior. Through social media and the internet in general, we often find ourselves faced with a skyrocketing number of ways that we can fail by comparing ourselves with people we have never and will never meet.
One possible reason for unhealthy competitiveness can be found in the fact that we live in a society where individualism has become more pronounced. We’ll leave this trend for another time, but it lies at the heart of both the problem and the solution to finding a way to compete that fosters relationships.
Although competition can put a focus on the individual at times, healthy competitors are less concerned about how they stack up to others, and more interested in stretching into new realms of personal potential.
The truth of the matter is that we all experience competitive feelings. They are natural and unavoidable. But competitive thoughts often make us uncomfortable, partly because they’re associated with greed, envy and narcissism. They can be experienced with close friends and absolute strangers.
Do no harm (to our relationships)
The key to expressing these feelings in a healthy way is to acknowledge them, because they help us understand ourselves. Accepting our competitive feelings allows us to manage them in a manner that our actions reflect our true values and do not inflict harm on our relationships.
For example, in a work situation where the boss tends to praise a colleague and seems oblivious of others’ contributions, resentments can build up. Everyone likes to be acknowledged for a job well done. Accepting these feelings and choosing to act constructively can lead to actions that improve our performance, whether or not they get acknowledged or praised.
On the flip side, there is the risk that our competitive feelings can be transformed into cynicism. We can allow them to well up or fester within us, confusing them with our real point of view or turning against the person we’re competing against. Instead of seeing that we simply want what the person is getting and moving on, we can end up engaging in a destructive thought process that negatively colors the world we live in.
We are not what others think of us
Much depends on how we feel about ourselves. It’s easier to consider our competitiveness in a light-hearted manner when we feel secure of our inherent value as a person, even with our limitations, which can include unpleasant competitive feelings. It’s essential to reach the point where our self-worth is not based on what others think of us.
For believers it can be easier, because we know that God’s love for us is unconditional. We can also become builders of healthy competitiveness by being instruments of this unconditional love in our relationships with others.
The key to healthy competitiveness lies in our capacity to honestly recognize and manage our motivations in our relationships with others. It doesn’t help to deny that we experience these feelings. How we act on them requires mature reflection, and the ability to evaluate and resist influences from external forces like our culture and education.
In the midst of this very serious process, the ability to laugh at ourselves can be a plus!

Maritime industry opponents of the proposed Oakland A’s waterfront ballpark scored a partial win the other day, despite the Oakland Port Commission’s unanimous vote to move the project forward.
“We are going to have to see what happens, but in the end, they added a new section to the agreement to address the concerns we have,” said Pacific Merchant Shipping Association Vice President Mike Jacob.
The shipping association is one of several port organizations that feel the proposed 35,000-seat ballpark and housing development at Howard Terminal will create a traffic nightmare at the port.
“It would be like putting a playground in the middle of a factory,” said Scott Taylor, CEO of GSC Logistics, a port tenant opposed to the ballpark.
And while the Port Commission’s vote was a foregone conclusion, it came after commissioner Joan Story added an amendment to the term sheet to ensure that whatever ballpark plan emerges would not “impact or interfere with the port’s use or operations.”
“It’s a good development, a partial victory,” Jacob said, but added, “we’ll have to see what happens.”
Taylor didn’t exactly agree.
“I still think we were kind of railroaded by city hall,” he said.
While the amendment helped the plan past the commission, there are potentially choppy waters ahead for the A’s.
The team still needs approval from the State Lands Commission and the Bay Area Conservation and Development Corporation, and several environmental impact questions are bound to be raised before both.
And while the A’s will finance the ballpark privately, there is still the unanswered question of how much public money will be needed to build infrastructure around the project.
And in a city that at last count had more than 7,700 pothole service requests, using infrastructure money — even state or federal infrastructure money — on a sports development could be a touchy issue for the Oakland City Council, which will need to vote on the plan as well.

Tourism workers concerned about financial fall-out from COVID-19
As Jamaica's tourism industry continues to suffer from the downturns in business arising from the global spread of coronavirus, workers employed within the sector are becoming increasingly concerned about the financial fall-out they face.
Several hotels, including Sandals and Beaches Resorts, RIU in western Jamaica and Couples Resorts, have already temporarily closed their doors as travel restrictions and local operating protocols have forced many tourists to stay at home. This has generally resulted in the laying off of their staff.
A female hotel worker on the north coast, who asked for her identity to be withheld, described the fall-out caused by the coronavirus as a nightmare.
"Coronavirus couldn't have come at a worst time; it's a nightmare! I had so many plans for 2020, including part-time study at university in September, but all that seem to now be futile, as I will be home for two months without a chance to earn additional funds to support my education dream," she explained.
While expressing gratitude to her employers who will be compensating her as well as other employees with a percentage of their salary, along with care packages, the 28-year-old woman indicated that challenging times are ahead.
"I am grateful (for the compensation), but when you consider the rent, utilities, groceries, medical bills for the two months (at home), I will require additional sources of income to cover them. Some persons have car loans to repay... How will those be repaid? How long will this virus last for? What if the hotels are not opened soon...? It's a headache right now all around," she said.
A man who has been employed to a north coast hotel for the past six years, who spoke on the condition that his identity be also withheld, shared similar sentiments, that his personal life will be affected by the pending closure.
"I had to speak to the lady I rented my apartment from in Ocho Rios and explained to her my situation. She understood in part, but still wanted her money. I can't blame her.
"I have security experience, so right now I have to see if I can get a link there so I can have an income to balance what the hotel will be giving me while I'm off... I have to survive somehow, because the hotel had no other choice," he stated.
A number of hotel workers who wished not to speak on record, also revealed that they have also been offered a percentage of their salaries for the time they will be home.
On Saturday, Founder and Chairman of Sandals and Beaches Resorts, Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, stated in a release that his resorts will be closed from March 30 to May 15, 2020.
"Never could we have imagined the impact the current global health crisis would have on the world in these unprecedented times, and now more than ever, the safety and health of our valued guests are of paramount importance," Stewart said in the release.
The announcement by Sandals followed that of RIU, which closed three of its hotel properties in western Jamaica on Thursday, March 19.
The three hotels affected are RIU Palace Jamaica, RIU Negril and RIU Montego Bay, and about 1,000 workers are expected to be left without jobs during the period of closure at the three affected properties.
Another big hotel group in the island, Couples Resorts, announced late last week the temporary closure of its four all-inclusive properties on the island, citing the growing travel restrictions as countries, including Jamaica, battle to contain the rapid spread of COV!ID-19.
The Couples properties that are scheduled for closer for over a month, starting from March 28 to April 30, are Couples Sans Souci, Couples Tower Isle, Couples Negril and Couples Swept Away.
Meanwhile, tour operators and craft traders have also been affected, as cruise ships, which provided them with their main source of income, have also temporarily stopped arriving as a result of the continued spread of the coronavirus.
A tour operator, Arnold Harris, lamented that the denial of cruise ships at the main ports has led to major economic burdens.
"Honestly, we the tour operators who mainly operate from the cruise ports, feel it the most right now, because we mostly get our income from the cruise ships, so now there is no income coming in. All that we are relying on now is savings, and how long will it last?
"Some persons I know took out new vehicles in anticipation of high numbers of stopover arrivals this year, but now with the corona ting, how will they pay their bills? The Government needs to step in right now and see what they can do for us, because we won't survive," Harris detailed.
He further indicated that craft traders with whom he has been communicating, are the hardest hit, as they earn an income daily from purchases of their items.
"No one is really buying their craft items now, so the Government will have to try and compensate them too, no matter how small it is," Harris added.
There is a glimmer of hope, as Tourism Minister, Edmund Bartlett, has sought to reassure sector workers that the ministry is working to mitigate the adverse effects of the temporary loss of earnings which will accompany the imminent closure of virtually Jamaica's entire tourism industry due to the global spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
"I know that this is a difficult time as we all grapple with the threat of this new, global pandemic – COVID-19. As we navigate these unchartered waters, I want you to know that we are working assiduously to cushion the impact that it will have on you and your livelihoods," Bartlett said in a letter to tourism workers on Saturday night.
He added that: "I have been in constant dialogue with my colleague Minister of Finance to iron out a financial package that can help you in this time of uncertainty and rapid change. All our stakeholders are also working together to develop and co-ordinate strategies for limiting the risks associated with this pandemic."
He said while tourism is extremely vulnerable to adverse circumstances, it also has the historic ability to rebound.
"With that fact, we must look to the future when the sector will be bustling with activity again. In the meantime, I urge you all to keep yourselves and families safe. Please continue to exercise proper hygienic practices and keep abreast of the situation by listening to the releases from the health authorities," the tourism minister stated.
As of Sunday, Jamaica has recorded 19 cases of coronavirus infections with one reported death.
The picture globally, however, remains rather grim, as more than 275,000 coronavirus cases have been confirmed, with over 11,000 deaths, according to a running tally by Johns Hopkins University.
At least 88,000 people have recovered from infection.
Many individuals across the globe have been laid off from work in varying sectors, including tourism, as the economic fall-out from the virus continues to unfold across the world.


Sounds like we have a major hit record on the way from two of the biggest names in the music game. Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa are teaming up for a new song called “Sweetest Pie” that is set to drop this upcoming Friday. From the looks of Megan’s tweet about the collab, it looks like it has something to do with birthday cake. Check out Megan’s tweet about the record below.

Turkey Political Map
The capital city of Turkey is Ankara. The territory of Turkey is subdivided into 81 provinces for administrative purposes. The provinces are organized into 7 regions for census purposes; however, they do not represent an administrative structure. Each province is divided into districts, for a total of 923 districts.
Provinces usually bear the same name as their provincial capitals, also called the central district; exceptions to this custom are the provinces of Hatay (capital: Antakya), Kocaeli (capital: İzmit) and Sakarya (capital: Adapazarı). Provinces with the largest populations are Istanbul (13 million), Ankara (5 million), Izmir (4 million), Bursa (3 million) and Adana (2 million).
The biggest city and the pre-Republican capital Istanbul is the financial, economic and cultural heart of the country. An estimated 75.5% of Turkey's population live in urban centers. In all, 19 provinces have populations that exceed 1 million inhabitants, and 20 provinces have populations between 1 million and 500,000 inhabitants. Only two provinces have populations less than 100,000.

Solution for intravenous and intramuscular injection 1 ml
active substance: Iron (III) hydroxide dextran 312.5 mg
(Equivalent to 50 mg of elemental iron)
Auxiliary substances: hydrochloric acid 10% or sodium hydroxide - q.s. To pH 5.5; Water for injection (under nitrogen) - up to 1 ml.
Solution: dark brown.
Mode of action - Replenishing the deficiency of iron, stimulating hemopoiesis.
The preparation contains iron in the form of a stable iron (III) complex dextran hydroxide, suitable both for intravenous and for intravenous use. An important advantage of the drug is that the iron in the complex is represented in a non-ionic water-soluble form and has very low toxicity. Complex iron (III) hydroxide dextran in its chemical structure is an analogue of the physiological complex ferritin with iron (III) hydroxide. In the body, ferritin, binding iron (III) hydroxide, provides neutralization of toxic iron ions.
Assimilation of iron to replenish its reserves in the body and the synthesis of hemoglobin begins immediately after the introduction of the iron (III) complex, dextran hydroxide.
Iron, introduced IV the form of iron dextran, is rapidly absorbed by the phagocytic macrophage system (SPS), especially the liver, spleen and bone marrow. The SPS cells capture iron (III) hydroxide dextran and cleave iron from the dextran carbohydrate compound, making it available to the body. Elementary iron returns to the plasma, binds to transferrin and is deposited in the form of ferritin or hemosiderin - the physiological forms of iron, and entering the bone marrow, participates in the synthesis of hemoglobin.
The serum ferritin content reaches a maximum approximately on the 7th-9th day after intravenous administration and returns to baseline in about 3 weeks.
Elevated hemopoiesis can be observed during the next 6-8 weeks.
After the / m introduction of iron (III) complex, hydroxide dextran enters the bloodstream through the capillaries and lymphatic system.
About 60% of the injected drug is absorbed within 3 days and more than 90% within 3 weeks. The rest is absorbed for several months. 2/3 of iron is removed through the digestive tract with red blood cells, bile and exfoliating cells of the epithelium.
Due to the size of the complex (165,000 Da), it is practically not excreted from the body by the kidneys.
Indication of the drug CosmoFer
Iron deficiency anemia of severe degree (with intolerance to oral iron preparations and in cases of the need for rapid replacement of iron stores).
Increased sensitivity to preparations containing mono- or disaccharide complexes of iron and dextran;
Anemia, not associated with iron deficiency (including hemolytic, sideroblastic, lead);
Iron overload (hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis);
Allergic skin diseases (including eczema);
Decompensated hepatic cirrhosis and hepatitis;
Acute renal insufficiency;
Rheumatoid arthritis with symptoms of active inflammation;
Pregnancy (I trimester);
Children's age (up to 14 years).
With caution: impaired renal function; Pregnancy (II-III trimesters); Lactation period.
Application of pregnancy and breastfeeding
It should not be administered during the first trimester of pregnancy, but can be used with caution in the period of II and III trimesters and during lactation.
Approximately 5% of patients may experience adverse reactions. The most frequent are itching, shortness of breath.
In rare cases, lowering blood pressure, nausea, dyspeptic disorders, headache, joint and muscle pain, enlarged lymph nodes, increased bilirubin levels and decreased serum calcium.
Local reactions - pain and inflammation at the injection site, in addition, with iv introduction - phlebitis, thrombophlebitis.
Large doses of iron dextran (5 ml or more) give a brown color to the serum taken 4 hours after the drug is used.
Anaphylactoid reactions are possible, up to the development of anaphylactic shock with a lethal outcome.
CosmoFer for parenteral use is not prescribed together with oral iron preparations, because The assimilation of iron taken orally will be reduced. The interval between the parenteral application of CosmoFer and the beginning of the use of oral forms of iron should be at least 5 days.
CosmoFer should be mixed only with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution. Do not mix with solutions of other drugs.
Dosing and Administration
IV (in the form of drip infusions or slow injections), IM
Use of the drug is possible only in a hospital in conditions of availability of antishock therapy.
Patients should be under close supervision of the doctor during the administration of the drug and immediately after it for 1 hour.
The drug should be discontinued immediately if any hypersensitivity reaction or intolerance is detected during administration.
Usually the recommended dose is 100-200 mg of iron (corresponding to 2-4 ml of the drug) 2-3 times a week, depending on the hemoglobin content.
However, if the clinical situation requires rapid replacement of iron, it is possible to / into the drip injection of a total dose of CosmoFer - up to 20 mg / kg.
Intravenous drip infusions
CosmoFer can be diluted only in 0.9% solution of sodium chloride or in 5% glucose solution. A dose of 100-200 mg of iron (2-4 ml of the drug) is diluted in 100 ml of the solvent.
The first 25 mg of iron should be poured evenly for 15 minutes, if during this time no negative reactions appear, you can enter the remaining dose at a rate of not more than 100 ml in 30 minutes.
CosmoFer can be administered I / O slowly (0.2 ml / min) at a dose of 100-200 mg of iron (2-4 ml), preferably diluted in 10-20 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution.
The initial dose of the drug is 25 mg of iron or 0.5 ml of the solution, which is injected / in slowly for 1-2 minutes. If there are no negative reactions within 15 minutes, the remaining dose of the drug can be continued.
The total dose of the Cosmofer is determined by the table or calculated using a formula. Immediately before use, the total dose is added with the observance of aseptic rules to the required volume (usually 500 ml) of sterile sodium chloride solution or 5% glucose solution. The total amount of CosmoFer preparation (up to 20 mg / kg) is injected intravenously into the drip for 4-6 hours.
The rate of administration can be increased to 45-60 drops / min. With an increase in the rate of administration, it is necessary to observe the patient for 1 hour after the injection.
IV the drip introduction of the drug is preferable, because Reduces the risk of the incidence of arterial hypotension.
Injections through the dialyzer
CosmoFer can be used during the procedure of hemodialysis. The drug is injected directly into the venous dialyzer circuit. The procedure for administration is the same as for intravenous administration.
The total amount of CosmoFer is determined both by the dose table and by calculations. For intravenous injections, use undiluted preparation (2 ml, maximal - 4 ml) as a series of injections: the volume of each series is usually determined by the patient's body weight. Patients who lead a moderately active lifestyle, injections are administered daily, alternately in different buttocks. Patients with an inactive lifestyle, or bedridden patients, are injected at a frequency of 1 or 2 per week.
The drug is injected deep into the muscle (to reduce the risk of subcutaneous staining.) The drug should only be injected into the muscular mass of the outer upper quadrant of the buttock, and it cannot be inserted into the arm or other area of the body.
For adults, a 20-21G needle should be used, at least 50 mm in length; For obese patients, needles 80-100 mm in length are used, and for teenagers smaller and shorter needles (23G × 32 mm) are used. The patient should lie on his side, side up for injection or stand, transferring the weight of the body to the leg, free from injection.
To avoid penetration of the drug into the subcutaneous tissue, Z-shaped technique of skin bias before injection is recommended.
CosmoFer is administered slowly and carefully. It is important to wait a few seconds before pulling out the needle so that the muscle mass "adapts" to the volume of the injected drug.
It is not recommended to rub the injection site.
Calculation of dose
A. For patients with iron deficiency anemia
The required dose should ideally correspond to the total iron deficiency, calculated by the formula:
Body weight, kg × (necessary hemoglobin, g / l - actual hemoglobin g / l) × 0.24 + amount of iron to replenish its reserves, mg.
The factor 0.24 is calculated as follows:
A) blood volume of 70 ml / kg, i.e. About 7% of body weight;
B) the iron content in hemoglobin is 0.34%.
The factor is 0.24 = 0.0034 × 0.07 × 1000 (the transition from g to mg).
Below is a table showing the number of ml of the solution for CosmoFer injection, which can be used for iron deficiency anemia of different degrees.
The results in the table are calculated based on the achieved hemoglobin level of 150 g / l and the iron reserve of 500 mg with a body weight above 35 kg.
Total dose of CosmoFer in iron deficiency anemia, ml
|Body weight, kg||Hemoglobin content, g / l|
Note: The table and the corresponding formula are only applicable for dose determination in patients with iron deficiency anemia.
The table and formula should not be used to determine the dose in those patients who require iron substitution because of blood loss. The total need for iron reflects the amount of iron needed to restore the hemoglobin concentration to normal or close to normal levels, plus an additional amount to adequately replenish the iron reserve in most people with moderate or excessive reduction in hemoglobin. It must be remembered that iron deficiency anemia will not manifest until all the iron stores have been depleted. Therapy, therefore, should be aimed not only at replenishing hemoglobin with iron, but also with iron replenishment in general.
If the total required dose exceeds the maximum allowable daily dose, the administration should be conducted in several steps. The therapeutic effect can be observed a few days after the application of CosmoFer and manifest as an increase in the number of reticulocytes. The level of serum ferritin is a good indicator of iron replenishment. In dialysis patients receiving CosmoFer, this correlation may not appear.
B. For patients with blood loss
Iron therapy in patients with blood loss should be aimed at replenishing the amount of iron equivalent to the amount of iron in lost blood. The above table and formulas are not suitable for quickly replenishing iron stores. Quantitative estimates of blood loss and hematocrit in humans during bleeding are a convenient way of calculating the required dose of iron.
The required dose of CosmoFer to compensate for iron deficiency is calculated according to the following formulas.
1. If the volume of lost blood is unknown
IV the introduction of 200 mg of iron (4 ml of CosmoFer) will lead to an increase in hemoglobin equal to the effect of 1 unit of blood (about 400 ml with a hemoglobin level of 150 g / l, which corresponds to 0.34% of 0.4 × 150, 204 mg of iron).
Iron, which must be replaced (mg) = number of blood units lost × 4.
2. If hemoglobin is lowered, you should use the previous formula, according to which the iron stock does not need to be restored.
The amount of iron (mg) that must be replaced = body weight (kg) × 0.24 × (necessary hemoglobin g / l - actual hemoglobin g / l).
For example: body weight = 60 kg, hemoglobin deficiency = 10 g / l.
The amount of iron that must be recovered = 60 × 0.24 × 10 = 143 mg (about 3 ml of CosmoFer).
Symptoms: hemosiderosis (acute iron overload).
Treatment: the appointment of complexing drugs (chelators) that bind iron to a chelate complex.
With the constant repeated administration of iron in a large dose, its excess accumulates in the liver and causes an inflammatory process that can lead to fibrosis.
The use of CosmoFer, as well as other iron-carbohydrate complexes, carries the risk of anaphylactic reactions. During the administration of the drug and immediately after admission, patients should be under the supervision of a physician.
There is an increased risk for patients with allergies. Acute anaphylactic reactions are extremely rare. They appear during the first minutes of use and are usually characterized by a sudden attack of difficulty breathing and / or cardiovascular collapse.
It should be possible to carry out anti-shock therapy (0.1% epinephrine (adrenaline), antihistamines and / or corticosteroid drugs).
When the first signs of anaphylactic reactions appear, the application of CosmoFer should be stopped immediately.
The use of CosmoFer in patients with autoimmune diseases or inflammatory conditions (systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis) can cause type III allergic reactions. Cases of arterial hypotension can occur if IV injection is too fast.
Delayed hypersensitivity reactions are characterized by arthralgia, anaphylactic myalgia and sometimes fever, which can last from a few hours to 4 days after drug administration. Symptoms usually occur within 2-4 days.
The diagnosis of iron deficiency should be based on appropriate laboratory tests (serum ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation with iron).
Before use, check the ampoules visually for sediment and damage. Use only ampoules with a homogeneous solution that does not contain sediment.
Features of the drug at the first admission or when canceled
At the first application of the drug the recommended initial dose is 25 mg of iron or 0.5 ml of solution. If no negative reactions appear within the next 60 minutes, you can enter the remaining dose.

Recently transitioned to a more plant-based or fully vegan diet and want to make sure you’re taking care of your gut health? Allow us to talk you through the best probiotics for vegans and explain why our aguulp supplements can be the perfect option if you’re on the hunt for non-dairy probiotics…
The lowdown on probiotics
Gut health is all the rage right now, and rightfully so. One way to ensure your gut health is fighting fit is to use probiotic supplements, but what are they?
In short, a probiotic is an external supply of certain types of good bacteria. These good bacteria help to stimulate the gut’s function, and help give it an initial ‘boost’. Probiotics are live bacteria that are introduced to the body for their beneficial qualities. Did you know that 90% of your immune system starts in the gut, for example? While you can use food-form probiotics too for their ability to populate the communities of good bacteria within the digestive tract, probiotics can be taken in supplemental form too, and there are plenty of vegan probiotics out there, so everyone can benefit.
There are different species and strains of probiotic bacteria, which are named by their genus, species, and strain – kind of like a first, middle, and last name. It’s good to aim for a varied combination to support good gut health.
The most commonly used species in gut health supplements, including vegan probiotics, are Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus.
Bifidobacteria help support the immune system, limit growth of pathogenic bacteria and break down lactose into nutrients the body needs
Lactobacillus helps limit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and produces lactic acid which serves as fuel for muscles and increases the absorption of minerals
Are all probiotics vegan probiotics?
Our aguulp probiotic supplement is a vegan probiotic. Any gut health supplement that’s primarily a probiotic formula will be made from live bacteria, with no other ingredients derived from animal sources in there. However, you should always check the label of the specific product you’re buying to make sure that you’re definitely getting vegan, non-dairy probiotics to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
Probiotics for vegans: food list
Certain live-cultured foods can also provide a source of probiotics for vegans to help look balance your gut microbiome. Some of the tastiest vegan and vegetarian probiotic foods include (spoiler, they’re pickled!):
- Kimchi – a Korean dish of spicy pickled cabbage that packs a nice flavour punch
- Sauerkraut – a German dish of chopped pickled cabbage, which is a less spicy alternative to kimchi
- Kombucha – this is a great swap from a high sugar fizzy drink. Kombucha is a drink produced by fermenting sweet tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria. The small amount of sugar that is added to kombucha for fermentation processes gets broken down, resulting in a low sugar drink full of friendly microbes and organic acids
aguulp vegan probiotics
Our aguulp Gut Probiotic is a vegan probiotic and prebiotic supplement with 50 billion friendly bacteria (you’re very unlikely to find a similar product with this high level – just saying… – meaning it’s one of the best vegan probiotics out there), which is designed to help rebuild your gut health.
- These supplements provide an external supply of certain types of good bacteria – those particularly associated with certain specific health benefits and also which are considered major strains of good bacteria in the body
- Our gut probiotic therefore only directly support the levels of the particular types of good bacteria they provide
- However, they may indirectly support the levels of good bacteria as a whole due to supporting butyrate production (remember, this acts as an energy source for many types of good bacteria)
Our vegan probiotic and prebiotic formula is a daily synbiotic, containing Bifidobacteria Lactobacillus and streptococcus. Streptococcus is good for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and supporting the immune system. Most synbiotics contain around 5-6 different strains, but we like to double the chances of amazing benefits, which is why ours contains 10. The more the merrier.
What’s more, our daily synbiotic supplement contains FOS, XOS, and inulin, all of which have been shown to positively impact the good bacteria in the gut and contribute to normal bowel function.
How long should you take vegan probiotics for?
Everybody is different, and some people may find that they feel a beneficial effect within the first few days or weeks. However, the British Society of Gastroenterology has recommended that optimal results will most likely be achieved after 12 weeks of use.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted he’s tried marijuana to deal with his back pain, and hopes the NBA softens its stance on pot use.
Steve Kerr has been known as one of the NBA’s most down-to-earth coaches since he first entered the league in 2014. If his latest comments about marijuana use are any indication, he’ll continue to stay — as the kids would call it — “woke.”
On a CSN Bay Area podcast hosted by Monte Poole that was published Friday, the Golden State Warriors’ head coach said that he’s tried marijuana a few times over the last two years to deal with his chronic (pun intended) back pain.
"“I guess maybe I could even get in some trouble for this, but I’ve actually tried [marijuana] twice during the last year and a half when I’ve been going through this pain, this chronic pain that I’ve been dealing with,” he said."
Kerr missed the first 43 games of the 2015-16 NBA season after undergoing back surgery, taking an indefinite leave from the team just two days into training camp.
The pain was so severe that it kept Kerr from his regular duties until January, when he took over for assistant coach Luke Walton again. That’s probably not surprising considering his spinal fluid was leaking.
"“A lot of research, a lot of advice from people, and I have no idea if I would — maybe I would have failed a drug test. I don’t even know if I’m subject to a drug test or any laws from the NBA, but I tried it, and it didn’t help at all. But it was worth it, because I’m searching for answers on pain. But I’ve tried painkillers and drugs of other kinds, as well, and those have been worse. It’s tricky.”"
Kerr says using marijuana didn’t help him, but went on to say he hopes the NBA softens its stance on marijuana use.
According to Kerr, it’s a better alternative to the painkillers like Vicodin that players are given today to deal with aches and pains.
"“I would hope so, and I’m not a pot person. It doesn’t agree with me. I tried it a few times, and it did not agree with me at all. So I’m not the expert on this stuff. But I do know this: If you’re an NFL player, in particular, and you got lot of pain, I don’t think there’s any question that pot is better for your body than Vicodin,” he said. “And yet, athletes everywhere are prescribed Vicodin like it’s Vitamin C, like it’s no big deal. And there’s like this perception in our country that over-the-counter drugs are fine but pot is bad. Now, I think that’s changing.“You’re seeing that change in these laws that you’re talking about in different states, including California. But I would just hope that sports leagues are able to look past the perception. I’m sure the NFL is worried that their fans are going to go, ‘All the players are potheads.'”"
With more and more states legalizing marijuana, this will probably be one of those issues we look back on in 20 years and laugh about.
For now, however, it’s also understandable why the NBA and NFL would take such strong stances against the recreational use of marijuana, since the drug still carries that “pothead” stigma. It’s in the best interests of these organizations that their players use as little as possible when the regular season is in progress to remain in peak condition and not give off the wrong perception.
More on FanSided:
However, when it comes to dealing with pain, it’s a much easier and safer avenue for many athletes, as long as it’s used responsibly.
It’s a lot like alcohol: Everything in moderation, but at the same time, world class athletes have to be careful about what they’re putting into their bodies so the quality of the game stays high (pun intended). In the meantime, can we just appreciate that it would be the NBA coach of a team in California to advocate for marijuana use?

When we first got an iPad the most interesting app we downloaded was my subscription for Everyday Food iPad version. This magazine is seriously fantastic on the iPad. It does everything it does well in magazine form plus interactive features and videos! My only complaint is that you can't dog-ear or bookmark the pages to remember it for later.
All the way back in the Thanksgiving issue, Joey and I watched a video for Parker House Rolls. The video and the pictures pretty much put them on a pedestal of best looking dinner rolls you have ever had. We were immediately disappointed we had offered to bring dessert instead of dinner rolls. We put the recipe on the back burner to remember for later.
Later came, and at a weird too late hour to really be ready by dinner, we decided to make the Parker House rolls. Only issue? We didn't have any milk and weren't confident in the active-ness of our yeast. I rushed to the store and we started the process realizing that with this sidestep we may be having dinner after 8:30pm.
We followed the directions and got to the part of "using a dough hook mix bread for 10 minutes until in a ball." It took us maybe 2 minutes and that's a stretch to reach the ball stage and already by then the dough hook was determined to launch the dough across the kitchen.
We set the wet-towel covered bowl upstairs in the guest room to be in the warmest place and draft free (lucky guests!) to rise for the first hour. After the first hour it seemed to have risen and we moved on to the roll stage and second rise. After the second rise the rolls seemed slightly bigger so we baked 8 of them and threw the rest of the dough into the freezer for another day.
We baked our rolls starving as we waited for the pork tenderloin to finish cooking and dinner to be ready. The result was a very dense roll much like a biscuit but more bready. It was not a horrible thing. All the rolls we baked were eaten but they weren't the fluffy examples we'd poured over from the video we'd been watching since November. We decided that we could fix the bread with what we had left in the freezer on another occasion.
That other occasion came on the weekend. We took the bread from the freezer and let it "rise" in the bag overnight while we let it defrost. We then threw it in a bowl with a wet towel and gave it all day to do it's thing. It didn't.
Then we turned to Google and I discussed our problem with my baking friends and we decided that what most likely happened was that the "room temperature milk" needed to activate the yeast was too cold. The internet said that we could indeed fix our mistake by mixing 1t yeast + 1/4t sugar + 1/4 C warm water. We let the yeast mixture sit ten minutes until it foamed and bubbled (the yeast is fine!) and then kneaded as much of it as we could into the slightly drier dough. Then we set the dough in a bowl with a damp cloth over it and left it overnight.
The next morning we were both absolutely thrilled to see that the bread dough had risen! Our problem was fixed! Unfortunately, it was early morning and we had no time to bake bread. We stuck the bowl covered in plastic wrap in the fridge and hoped for the best.
This evening I finally was able to make it. I pulled the dough out and did a little bit of kneading and then cut it into large chunks trying to make the equivelent of hamburger bun sized rolls. We plan to have them with pulled pork when they come out of the oven...they smell fantastic although they didn't so much stick together in roll-shaped circles. And the verdict?
The rolls were good but still not right. They weren't fluffy inside and out, they had a bit of a crust on the outside and were still a little dense but rather fluffy inside too just not as light as a dinner roll. The rolls were actually perfect for pulled pork sandwiches! They are not perfect for Thanksgiving dinner though.
Next step - Make a new bread recipe because it sure does make the house smell delicious at the very least!

text: The synaptonemal complex (SC) is an evolutionarily conserved structure that mediates synapsis of homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase I. Previous studies have established that the chromatin of homologous chromosomes is organized in loops that are attached to the lateral elements (LEs) of the SC. The characterization of the genomic sequences associated with LEs of the SC represents an important step toward understanding meiotic chromosome organization and function. To isolate these genomic sequences, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation assays in rat spermatocytes using an antibody against SYCP3, a major structural component of the LEs of the SC. Our results demonstrated the reproducible and exclusive isolation of repeat deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, in particular long interspersed elements, short interspersed elements, long terminal direct repeats, satellite, and simple repeats. The association of these repeat sequences to the LEs of the SC was confirmed by in situ hybridization of meiotic nuclei shown by both light and electron microscopy. Signals were also detected over the chromatin surrounding SCs and in small loops protruding from the lateral elements into the SC central region. We propose that genomic repeat DNA sequences play a key role in anchoring the chromosome to the protein scaffold of the SC.

'Street Fighter V' Season 2 Updates, New Rage Quit Penalties And More
Ever since its launch, "Street Fighter V" has encountered a lot of setbacks and server problems. While most of these problems have been resolved through countless updates, one the most annoying issues still persists and fans have made their voices heard. Capcom has apparently listened to its fans and previously implemented some penalties for violators, but it appears that they want to take it a step further.
Capcom is taking a step in the right direction by listening to its fan's feedback. "Street Fighter V" is ideally played offline to ensure that there is no lag or input delays, but its online aspect also makes it a good training ground for players who want to become better. Some professional players even haunt the online scene to also play against top players. Rage quitters are one of the biggest sources of frustration for gamers. Capcom will reportedly start assigning a badge to identify players who regularly drop their matches, according to Engadget.
Those players who apparently stay and finish their online matches also get another badge, which identifies them to other players as a good candidate for matchmaking. The latest "Street Fighter V" Season 2 PC beta test had a lot of other new features including the option to change the background music during matches. A screenshot was taken to show players what the badges look like if players complete online matches or disconnect halfway.
In the previous builds of "Street Fighter V," players who rage quit did not incur any penalties. This led to some players who went up the ranking ladders due to their accumulated League Points (LP). Capcom started asking players to report these incidents and eventually caught some violators who were quickly demoted back to Bronze rank. They also applied a 24-hour ban from online matches and a 1000LP deduction for the culprit.
The "Street Fighter V" Season 2 update is expected to drop on Dec 20. According to Gamenguide the update will include Akuma and the reported balance changes. Capcom also announced the availability of the pre-orders for the new Season Pass.

Kourtney And Khloe Kardashian Bond With Corey Gamble During A Lunch Outing
Khloe and Kourtney may be the funniest Kardashian sisters, and the two joined forces alongside Corey Gamble this week and looked like they were having way too much fun. Also, check out Kourtney's fit legs!
The mother-of-three looked sensational in a pair of yellow, red, and black shorts, which she paired with a simple white T-shirt. Khloe meanwhile looked biker chic in a black shirt and denim jeans.
The two sisters gave Corey big hugs after having lunch together at Grissini restaurant. And of course, they were filming a new segment for their family's hit reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which recently celebrated a 10-year-anniversary.
Executive producer Ryan Seacrest spoke about the huge milestone, and told People earlier this summer about the creation of the show, "I remember Kris saying, "In order for this to work, yes, there’s a glitz and glamour, but there’s got to be honesty and vulnerability. We need to make a pact that the show won’t just be pretty pictures.’ As time goes by, you see some of the most vulnerable moments. There was a deliberate intent to be vulnerable and capture that from the beginning.”
And vulnerable is not even the word to describe how the Kardashians have been to fans over the years. They have literally shown it all, including what may be the most tragic scenario they have been through as a family — Kim getting robbed in Paris of millions of dollars worth of jewelry.
"Things like Kim’s robbery or Caitlyn’s transition? That’s the kind of stuff we wish we had never filmed,” Khloe later told Glamour. "We aren’t ever like, 'Oooh! Let’s do this for season nine.’ This is our life, and these are the things that happen. And it’s funny — when we decide not to shoot things, people feel slighted. But when we film too much, they’re like, 'Oh, you never should have filmed that.' It’s a catch-22.”
What are your thoughts on Khloe and Kourtney's outing with Corey? Let us know in the comments section.

- How oncologists’ communication impacts patients’ information recall and emotional stress
- A video-vignettes approach
J.C.J.M. de Haes
- Award date
- 8 December 2017
- Number of pages
- Document type
- PhD thesis
- Faculty of Medicine (AMC-UvA)
The main goal of the research described in this thesis was to investigate the impact of oncologists’ communication during medical consultations on patients’ recall of information provided in those consultations, with a special focus on the possible mediating role of emotional stress in this relation. The experimental video-vignettes design using analogue patients is an appropriate methodology to systematically investigate the hypothesized causal relationships. Still, we first set out to optimize the ecological validity of our video-vignettes studies by investigating the impact of several methodological decisions on analogue patients’ engagement.
This thesis is therefore divided into two parts:
PART I - The video-vignette approach
PART II - How oncologists’ communication impacts patients’ information recall and emotional stress
The research presented in this thesis provided evidence for the causal and positive influence of oncologists’ trust-conveying and emotion-oriented communication on respectively patients’ free recall and recognition of medical information. In addition, the results indicate that the reduction of emotional stress might not be the underlying mechanism through which physicians’ communication influences patients’ information recall. Nevertheless, our findings suggest that other mechanisms can play a role; the effective component could be (extra) time.
Showing evidence that affect-oriented communication strategies can improve patients’ ability to recall highly relevant information may encourage oncologists, and physicians in general, to adopt such strategies. Furthermore, these findings can inform medical communication skills training, and therefore contribute to high-quality, evidence-based medical care.

I have two machines with Visual Studio 2015. Both have the latest version of NSight (18.104.22.16821) One machine has a GeForce GTX 970, the other a GeForce GTX 660. (The first card is a Maxwell GPU and the second a Kepler GPU) Both machines running windows 10. My application is using Directx 11.
I can successfully launch NSight Graphics Debugging and Capture a Frame. Everything looks good when I do that.
Selecting an event in the scrubber that is of interest, and going to the API Inspector and selecting OM works fine. In the Render Target and Depth Stencil Views of the Output Merger, I can double click on my render target. This brings up the Resources view and my render target is shown in the Graphical window. Clicking the Pixel History button below my render target brings up the cross hairs and clicking on a pixel brings up the Pixel History window. However there is no pixel history displayed in the Pixel History window. I can click on the Show Event Info icon in Pixel History window’s toolbar and it shows the correct event. Despite trying this on both machines, in multiple different events and render targets I never get pixel history. (I get the Pixel History window but no history is displayed)
Is there some setting that I need to set or maybe something in my code that would turn on pixel history? Any ideas? Is Pixel History working in version 5.2? Any help or insight appreciated.

[caption id="attachment_627" align="aligncenter" width="604" caption="Harbin, China"][/caption] One of my favourite ways to past the evening hours after dinner is to stroll the streets of China. You will inevitably come across people dancing to the tunes of various types of music.
Ballroom dancing is huge in China but I never knew I would come across this on the streets in Harbin. I got a kick of watching the older couples swinging in the streets thoroughly enjoying themselves. There were always hundreds of people lining the streets so the atmosphere was quite festive. However, around 9 PM, the music would promptly stop and everyone would make their way home.
This was an odd one that I ran into in Beijing. In front of a Catholic church on the main street in the night shopping district, there were these folks doing something similar to line dancing. Anyone could join in and there were teachers on site in case you need some intensive instructions. I spent two nights in a row watching them dancing to western pop songs and still couldn't figure out the type of dance they were doing. The scene in Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta on the disco dance floor came to mind.


PHILADELPHIA (JULY 29, 2013)—THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, August 2nd, It will be an historic night of championship boxing as www.pandafeed.tv is pleased to announce the first ever event on the new website as a full night of action will be headlined by the USBA Welterweight championship bout between Ray Robinson and Ray Narh.
The event will originate from the Bob Carpenter Center on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware.
“We are ecstatic to be able to launch the new company with two important title fights”, said Pandafeed.tv co-founder and director of boxing Marc Abrams
“We are looking to bring the best boxing, MMA, Concerts and entertainment to this venture. We also will be taking the concept of online streaming to the next level as we plan on working with any promoters in not only maximizing the on-line viewership but we also will help with the live gate as well. We have an extensive media list that reaches all over the world and plan to use an aggressive multimedia format to help promote these great events”
“To have our first event to have two titles with the four fighters have a combined record of 103-10 is the types of events we want to bring to fans”, finished Abrams.
In the ten round co-feature, veteran Dorin Spivey will defend his NABA Lightweight title against undefeated Samuel Kotey Neequaye.
Robinson of Philadelphia has a record of 15-2 with six knockouts.
The former amateur standout won his first eleven fights which included a win over undefeated Darnell Jiles (8-0-1).
After losing to undefeated and future world ranked contenders Brad Soloman and Shawn Porter, Robinson has won four in a row and captured two titles.
He won the Pennsylvania Welterweight title with a two round waxing of former U.S. Olympian Terrance Cauthen. In his last bout that took place on February 8th, Robinson scored a ten round unanimous decision over Alberto Morales and Robinson picked up the Interim NABA Welterweight title.
The hard punching Narh of Brooklyn, NY via Accra, Ghana has a record of 26-2 with 21 knockouts.
Narj won his first ten bouts before running into then undefeated prospect Almazbek Raiymkulov.
That loss then lit the fire under Narh as proceeded to win fifteen straight with some quality wins over undefeated Ramazan Paliani. Narh stopped Paliani in eight to win the Pennsylvania Lightweight championship.
In his next bout, Narh stopped two-time world title-challenger Luis Bolono in two rounds. He won the USNBC Jr. Welterweight with a 2nd round stoppage over Angel Hernandez. Narh also has a win over former world champion Freddie Norwood.
After being stopped to future world champion Mike Alvarado, Narh picked up a significant win in his last bout when he scored a ten unanimous decision over heralded Ronald Cruz on June 14th in Cruz’ hometown of Bethlehem, PA.
Spivey of Portsmouth, VA has a record of 42-6 with 30 knockouts.
The forty-year old turned pro in 1993 and has had a terrific career.
He began his career 26-1 before being stopped by Juan Lazcano for the NABF Lightweight title.
Spivey has quality wins over the likes of Billy Irwin (34-4) & Michael Stewart (28-0-2). Spivey won the NABA Lightweight title with a 4th round stoppage over Meacher Major. He made one defense of the title.
He re-captured the title with a 7th round stoppage over Victor Vasquez. In his last bout, Spivey defended the title with a ten round majority decision over Rod Salka on October 12th.
Neequaye, like Narh is originally from Accra, Ghana and is perfect in 20 fights with fifteen wins coming early.
After winning his first 17 fights in Ghana, the 30 year-old Neequaye came to the United States and has won three in a row with his last bout being an eight round split decision over Guillermo Sanchez on June 7th.
Also appearing on the undercard will be undefeated prospect Omar Douglas (8-0, 6 KO’s); Interim NABA Light Heavyweight champion Frankie Filippone (14-2-1, 2 KO’s) and Lightweight Joey Tiberi (9-1, 5 KO’s)

Political Intrigue in Sullivan County?
Up in Sullivan County, Robert Houk sees some political intrigue involved in the firing of the veteran county election commissioner after she "called out" three election commissioners for a possible violation of the state's "sunshine law." Two Republican commissioners and one Democrat jointed in voting to fire Connie Sinks. One Democrat and one Republican voted against the dismissal.
And some area state legislators are mentioned.
The politics of the vote and the possible repercussions are indeed intriguing.
For instance, many are wondering what (if anything) was promised to Graham for his vote. Will his decision to join the two Republicans cost Graham his position on the board? I've heard scuttlebutt that there is a movement by some county Democrats to have him removed from the Election Commission.
Walter Buford, the new chairman of the Washington County Democratic Party, told me last week he would not even speculate on the Election Commission matter until he has all the facts.
"I'd rather not make any comments until I am aware of all the intricacies," he said.
And what about the future of Willis and Ruetz on the board? There's been a struggle inside the Washington County Republican Party in recent years between far-right forces aligned with state Rep. Matthew Hill, R-Jonesborough, and GOPers who are not. The reappointments of Willis, Ruetz and even Chinouth could be affected by which side prevails in this battle.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Rusty Crowe, R-Johnson City, said he had no inkling that Sinks was about to be fired and was surprised to learn of her dismissal. "I heard about it afterward when I got a call from Sue Chinouth," Crowe said.
The senator said he and his legislative colleagues from Washington County (Hill and state Rep. Dale Ford, R-Jonesborough) had not planned to make any changes to their appointments to the Election Commission next year. Still, Crowe said he feels he has a duty to "find out what's really going on" with the Election Commission.

“Deep Roots, Many Voices” is a project by the Blue Ridge Music Center exploring diversity and inclusion in roots-based music. In these videos, we pair two musicians in each episode to talk about issues related to race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation; how these issues have been part of their personal stories; and the importance of celebrating diversity in the music world. These discussions highlight contributions to American roots-based music from the many voices that make up our nation, and give us hope for a rich and diverse musical future.
The Bluegrass Situation is proud to feature this interview with Charly Lowry and Pura Fé.

One week ago, I drove a feverish, in-pain baby girl to the pediatrician's office. I felt a little foolish. I had just been there two days prior (to diagnose a dairy sensitivity) and I am NOT one to rush off to the doctor's office for "any little thing".
But the fever wasn't going away. And she was doubling over and screaming throughout the day and night. I knew something was wrong with my baby.
Suspecting a urinary tract infection (UTI), they catheterized my sweet girl. Given a choice, I hope never to have to witness such a thing again. But we both survived that.
Early results indicated... no infection.
I was sent back home and told to monitor the fever. The doctor was glad I'd brought her in and never implied I was foolish, but I felt a little silly. I really, really am not even close to a hypochondriac; multiple ped visits are not my M.O. Still, I was relieved.
The fever climbed. The pain continued. Soothing a glassy-eyed baby girl with a fever of 103 at 3 in the morning early Sunday, my husband and I knew... there WAS something wrong. No cold symptoms. No signs of a tummy bug. No pulling at the ears. Something was going on...
Back to the doctor we went on Monday morning...
And learned that the lab cultures had grown: it IS a UTI.
What does that mean? Antibiotics and some further tests. I'm a little nervous about those, but I have faith that it will all work out, no matter what the results. The doctor had told us to pray it was NOT a UTI since they can be more serious in babies...
But you know what?
The biggest thing I felt when the diagnosis was made was... RELIEF. Because not knowing was killing us. Not knowing wasn't getting our baby better. Not knowing meant she would continue to sob and writhe with pain even while nursing.
KNOWING means we can act. It means we can figure it out. It means we can help her feel better.
KNOWING is a finer thing.

In his opening speech to the Science Technology in Society Forum, Prime Minister Abe focused on the contributions of Japan to science and technology and he specifically referred to OIST.
For the last 10 years, OIST Board of Governors Member Koji Omi has brought the world’s most influential scientists and scientific states-people to Kyoto for the Science Technology in Society Forum. This year over a thousand delegates from around a hundred nations celebrated the 10th anniversary of this prestigious event. In his opening speech, Prime Minister Abe focused on the contributions of Japan to science and technology, and he specifically referred to OIST: “I’m determined to turn Japan into a country where innovation takes place easily. As much as the global society is in need of Japan’s wisdom, our nation also requires the world’s knowledge. One example of this is the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University. I would like researchers and students from around the world to continue joining OIST. Mr. Omi is a founding father of this university. It will be almost two years since the establishment of the OIST Graduate University. It will continue to grow together with their researchers from nearly 30 countries and students from 23 countries. I believe this is exciting.”
President Jonathan Dorfan, Provost Robert Baughman, and Vice President Neil Calder for Communication and Public Relations took every opportunity to explain OIST’s progress and future to the delegates, many of whom were intrigued to know more about OIST following the Prime Minister’s speech.
In the plenary session “Research and Innovation,” Ichita Yamamoto, Minister of State for Science and Technology Policy and Minister of State for Okinawa and Northern Territories Affairs, also spoke in support of OIST. He highlighted the Comprehensive Science and Technology Initiative Strategy to make Japan the “most innovation-friendly country in the world” which requires international innovation hubs with world-class research environments. OIST, he said, was recently established as an interdisciplinary and international graduate university in which more than half of the faculty members and students are non-Japanese and English is the language for research and education.
President Dorfan was also able to discuss possibilities of collaboration with the French Minister of High Education and Research, Geneviève Fioraso, and the South African Minister of Science and Technology, Derek Hanekom. He also spoke at the Presidents’ Lunch, which brought together many university presidents from all over the world.
OIST was very much center stage at STS Forum Kyoto 2013.

Watch this (rather lovely) space.
The Cambodian Coast
Several countries have fallen into the trap of over-promoting one particular aspect of their beauty or culture to lure the punters, but few have become so hitched to one particular promotional wagon as Cambodia to Angkor Wat. Not that arguably the finest temple complex in the world is a bad weapon to have in your armoury, but it can detract from the other - often wonderful - areas when visitors jet into Siem Reap (the airport local to Angkor), whizz round the ruins, shutter fingers firing, before flying back out to Bangkok or wherever.
Watch this space
Not for long. The arrival of the super deluxe Song Saa island hideaway on the Koh Rong Peninsula should herald the arrival on travel cognescenti's radars of the beautiful Cambodian coast, and is the reason this little country in indochina features twice in our 80 Senses list. We bet our bottom Cambodian Riel that the big guns like Amanresorts and Four Seasons will be scoping the joint as we write, and finally Cambodia can shake off bridesmaid status and take on the likes of Thailand and Vietnam.

New York: An Illustrated History (Revised and Expanded)
Buy new or used from an indie through our partner Biblio:
DescriptionAn expanded edition of the only comprehensive illustrated history of New York--with more than 600 ravishing photographs and illustrations--that tells the remarkable 400-year-long story of the city from its beginning in 1624 up to the current moment. The companion volume to the acclaimed PBS series. This landmark book traces the spectacular growth of New York from its initial settlement on the tip of Manhattan through the destruction wrought by the Revolutionary War to its rise as the nation's premier commercial capital and industrial center and as a magnet for immigrant hopes and dreams in the 19th century to its standing as a beacon of modern culture in the 20th century and as a worldwide symbol of resilience in the 21st century. The story continues here with new chapters delivering a sweeping portrait of New York at the dawn of the 21st century, when it emerged after decades of decline to assert its place at the very center of a new globalized culture. Here is a city challenged--indeed, sometimes shaken to its core--by a series of profound crises: the aftermath of 9/11, the continual struggle with racial injustice, the financial crisis of 2008, the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, the still unfolding cataclysm of the COVID-19 pandemic--whose earliest and deadliest urban epicenter was New York itself. Here too is a lively portrait of the city's vibrant street life and culture: the birth of hip-hop in the South Bronx, Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Gates in Central Park, the musicals of Broadway, the explosion in location filmmaking in every borough, the pivotal rise of the tech industry, and so much more. The history of this city--especially in the tumultuous and transformative two decades detailed in the new chapters--is an epic story of rebirth and growth, an astonishing transfiguration, still in progress, of the world's first modern city into a model and prototype for the global city of the future.
