Diplomats were not allowed to discuss the issue before an agreement was reached between the 27 member states of the EU, they confirmed to CNN that EU governments had been given until noon on Tuesday to allow entry into 15 countries.
The proposed list of 15 countries includes China, where the virus originated. However, the EU will only offer to enter China on the condition of mutual management. The other 14 countries are: Algeria, Australia, Canada, Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay.
As widely expected, the United States – where coronavirus is currently resurfacing – will not be on that list.
The list includes proposals from member states of the European Union to member states, which set criteria for countries to allow their citizens to enter the bloc and to meet those criteria in a systematic manner. It requires that the rate of coronavirus infection among countries that have been allowed to enter is equal to or better than that of the EU.
Border control is ultimately decided by each member state rather than at the EU level in Brussels. But EU officials hope that keeping the recommendations in place means member states will reopen their borders in a lockstop.
Europe closed its external border in March after the bloc saw a rapid rise in the rate of Kovid-19 infection.
According to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center, the United States now has the highest number of infectious infections in the world and the highest number of deaths due to Covid-19.
Diplomats said it was not “highly likely” that the structure would change any time soon, meaning that a dramatic change in the U.S. infection rate would be needed if any future decisions were to be considered. The European Union is expected to review the decision every two weeks.
Member states are expected to approve the lists and guidelines by a qualified majority on Tuesday, rather than a unanimous decision.
Of the 27 members of the eligible majority, 15 are required to vote. Diplomats say the guidelines are expected to be opaque and open to interpretation in some cases, as at least three member states have expressed reluctance to open their borders, diplomats said.
EU officials immediately noted that the decision on who can or cannot enter the bloc is not a political one, but a scientific one that allows member states to protect their citizens. Yet these officials are considering the reaction of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has previously spoken highly critical of the EU and sees the decision as politically motivated.

VISION seeks to answer the question: Where are we going?
When establishing our vision, staff were encouraged to think about their personal vision for the school and then in groups think about the characteristics and attributes that we would like our Year 6 pupils to have when they leave. Staff were asked the following question:
If our school were an animal, which would it be and why?
Staff were encouraged to think of the characteristics and behaviours of an animal that would reflect what we want from our pupils. They then composed a prayer/poem and logo which could form our vision. These were shared with pupils, parents, governors and the Friars. The following vision was agreed upon:
Storing up knowledge for the future with,
Qualities eagerly developed amongst each child
Uniqueness is celebrated, understanding fostered, creating
Inquisitive, independent, individuals who are

Dylan O'Brien and Camila Cabello sing Miley Cyrus' The Climb together at karaoke bar
16 May 2022, 17:48
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello cover Miley Cyrus’ The Climb
Videos of Dylan O'Brien and Camila Cabello singing together have surfaced online.
There's no denying that Dylan O'Brien and Camila Cabello are two of the biggest stars of their generation. Dylan is a beloved actor who played Stiles in Teen Wolf and has since appeared in everything from the Maze Runner films to Taylor Swift music videos. Meanwhile, Camila first rose to fame as a member of Fifth Harmony and is now a chart-topping solo artist.
Dylan appeared at Camila's birthday party (Mar 2022) and now the pair have been filmed singing karaoke together.
Over the weekend (May 15), videos surfaced online of Camila and Dylan living their best lives with friends at a karaoke bar in Hermosa Beach, California. In the clips, Camila and Dylan can be seen smiling at each other as they deliver an impassioned performance of Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb'. The videos have currently racked up thousands of views on Twitter and TikTok.
This isn't the first time that Camila has performed a cover of 'The Climb' as a duet. In 2020, Shawn Mendes posted a video of him and Camila singing the song in their home. Shawn and Camila were dating and living together at the time but they broke up in November 2021.

Martha stewart dating older women dating younger guys tumblr
Here are the important questions to ask when you start to get serious, straight from an expert.
It's always good to make sure you're on the same page with the person you're dating—especially when it comes to where you see the relationship going.
When couples first start dating and are still living apart, religion often isn't the focus—but, it can be a big issue down the line, so it's wise to discuss your views as you get more serious.
"If one person is Jewish and one is Christian, for example, they should discuss the extent of their religiosity, how they celebrate, and what traditions are important to keep and what aren't," Sherman says.
Six years later, on Reddit’s “Ask Me Anything” series, Stewart said she wished she were better friends with Snoop.
They reunited for a Justin Bieber roast, a T-Mobile ad and ABC’s revival of “The 0,000 Pyramid” before their current dinner date.
Seth Rogen should’ve listened to Snoop Dogg before 'Rogue One' “I don’t think they’ve turned down any of our ideas yet,” says Salsano.
When that person you were in awe of on your first date ends up being the person you think you could end up saying "I do" to someday, there are certain things you need to know to ensure you have a solid future together.“It’s a party,” says executive producer Kim Miller Olko.One reason it works, suggests executive producer Ted Chung from Snoop’s Merry Jane Productions, is that Stewart and Snoop are actual friends who appreciate each other’s skill set and consider the other’s comfort level with material that sometimes gets a little edgy.Snoop, 45, is a world-class rapper who has sold close to 40 million albums since his 1993 debut “Doggystyle.” Snoop Dogg pirated JAY-Z's '' because he doesn't have Tidal Once labeled a gangsta rapper, he’s covered a range of subjects.He also did jail time for drug offenses, which hasn’t stopped him from enjoying marijuana as much as Stewart enjoys color-coordinated guest towels. But here they’ve parlayed a shared interest in food and pop culture into a relaxed, chatty get-together with famous friends like Terrence Howard, Bella Thorne and 50 Cent.

Zayn Malik's new hairstyle has certainly caught the attention of One Direction fans.
The former 1D star made his first red carpet appearance tonight since leaving the band last month.
But it was Zayn's shaved locks which really got people talking - with many fans demanding to know: "Where has it gone?!"
The star walked the red carpet at the Asian Awards with a shaven head - and with his mum Trisha by his side.
One fan wrote: "We'll never forget your hair" while another said: "please tell me @zaynmalik didn't really cut his beautiful hair and it was just a really good photo edit."
Gone are his wavy locks which made us swoon, replaced by a seriously cropped 'do.
Other fans were full of praise for Zayn's new look, with one writing: "Wooooow @zaynmalik literally love ya new hair cut babe really suits ya all the love xxx"
Zayn is appearing at the star-studded bash alongside stars including producer Naughty Boy - who he is rumoured to be working on solo material with.
It's his first public appearance since he announced he was quitting 1D last month to live the life of a "normal 22-year-old".
Zayn looked dapper in a black suit with white shirt and a matching tie.
The star looked happy and flashed a smile for the cameras as he was mobbed by fans.
Zayn even stopped to take selfies with screaming Directioners who were eager to catch a glimpse of the star.

The highest and most difficult to reach stations were summer only stations, occupied as weather permitted between April 1 and December 1. The stations that would be year round were given improvements to winterize them. For example, 1/2 inch thick insulating material would be nailed to the roof sheathing. On the side walls below the windows, building paper was added, then sheathed 1/4 thick reject fir plywood was placed. For the windows, a glazed sash for the upper half of the windows was secured. Malthoid paper was recommended for the floor covering protecting the floor from tracked-in snow and water, and making the floor warmer. Stoves were added if they didn't have one, even a 7x7 tower type cab would get a stove with an improvised stack. Shutters were completely removed as heavy snow would destroy them. Heat in the lookout would build icicles which had to be removed with a stick daily. Stairs and handrails leading to the tower cabs were salted and shoveled daily. Toboggans for hauling supplies, wood, snowshoes or skis were provided for each observer. Even a small supply of gear was cashed outside each lookout as an added safety precaution in case the house should burn down. Towers over 40 feet high were not recommended for use as they were noisy in moderate to strong winds and climbing up to the cab was hazardous. Ground houses were to be used instead.
AWS relates to fire lookouts. It became apparent I would need to understand the AWS program and locate all the stations, in order to ensure I would not miss something in my quest to visit all fire lookouts in the Cascades and Olympics. A huge benifit doing this were the many historical nuggets of information found about dozens of fire lookouts. Over time, I will add all information learned to the specific lookout pages of sites used for AWS during WWII.
In the early summer of 1942, the Aircraft Warning Service (AWS) program was initiated under the direction of the U.S. Army when the county was in eminent danger of attack from Japanese forces. The AWS started with mostly city and town posts manned by volunteers under the Civil Defense Agency. The program would get enlarged by August of 1942 to include forest fire lookouts being activated as temporary Aircraft Warning Observation Posts. The U.S. Forest Service became the coordinating agency for the AWS in National Forests, National Parks, Indian Reservations, State Lands and Private Forests. But there wasn't always a fire lookout available in the locations needed for a observation post. The Forest Service was asked to develop observation posts in these regions and money was allocated for this. Usually a sleeping cabin was built, sometimes a converted garage was buit, other times it was a new lookout tower or even just a tent camp placed. Most all these rural positions were paid as finding persons to man them was very difficult.
Observers were required to report all planes seen or heard twenty-four hours a day. They would then report Army Flash messages (plane sightings) by telephone or radio. Information pertaining to the number and type of planes, the altitude and flight direction were all given. The army wanted a double line along the Pacific front close enough together so that each station would only be required to observe from 2.5 to 3 miles (so 6 miles). One reason for expanding to fire lookouts was the concern about smoke hazes in summer making visibility extremely poor for the lower observation posts. Using lookout stations, guard stations and in some cases ranger stations would "fill in the gaps". Originally, the fire lookout posts were only expected to report airplane flights during daylight hours, when Fire Control personnel is normally on duty. Originally, this was thought it would be a "strictly voluntary contribution and no additional employees were planned." Well, in a short time, it became a day and night duty and one or two additional paid observers were posted at most of the remote observation sites. Keeping an AWS post supplied with food and fuel was difficult, and keeping communications working (especially in winter) was even harder. If a station failed to report a plane, the Army called it a miss. If you got two misses, someone from the Army would come out and visit with you to find out why.
Most of the observation posts were managed by the Army and Forest Service but an additional defensive line was being managed by the U.S. Coast Guard along the coast. The Coast Guard was already busy defending and patrolling the Washington coast with beach patrols and lookout points but they also assisted with the Aircraft Warning Service. Some of their AWS posts were located on Tatoosh Island, Cape Alava, Quillayute River, Kalaloch, Whale River and Destruction Island. Most of these posts are not listed on this page since few records were found about these beach patrols and shelters.
All the reports of plane sightings went to a Filter Center where all flights were being followed in a map room. These 4 highly confidential filter center locations were in Bellingham, Seattle, Olympia and Port Angeles. All the lookouts needed to be connected to a commercial switchboard but many remote locations were radio only. Some posts got new phone lines built to them while a few had to relay communications over a radio, which wasn't preferred.
Selection of Observers
"I should like to take this opportunity to suggest that as replacements are made, that husband and wife, or two men well beyond their teens be considered for observers. This is not a criticism of the performance of any of the young lads at the observation posts, but I do believe older man or husband and wife will prove to be more stable and satisfied with their lot. The various wardens will make their jobs easier if they can put men or women in the stations who will be apt to remain for a while. This will also simplify the job of supervision and inspection."
I, the undersigned, being employed in the Aircraft Warning Service of the Army, pledge my full cooperation in any duty assigned me. I will faithfully discharge such duty to the best of my ability, placing myself voluntarily under such orders, rules and regulations as the service demands during the period of my employment. I pledge myself to guard closely from all except duly authorized persons, divulging to no one, not even to my closest relatives, any information of a military nature which I may acquire as a result of such service. I further pledge my allegiance to the American Flag and the Government for which it stands and certify that I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of an organization inimical to the Government of the United States of America, so help me God.
The 14 x 32 house type building is the standard Forest Service 2-room portable scaler's dwelling. The 12 x 20 garage type building is a standard Forest Service garage of this dimension connected temporarily for living quarters.
July 1942: Office of Civilian Defense establishes the "Forest Fire Fighters Service" to safeguard forest lands and other timber facilities, as well as cooperate with private and state forest agencies. "The insignia will be on an arm band only to be warn for those whose fire control duties will require them to travel patrolled roads and highways and should be worn only during periods of blackout, care being used to protect them at other times from coming into unauthorized hands." Cars equipped with dimout lights, marked with the insignia, and driven by a driver wearing the arm band should be permitted to travel the highways during periods of blackout.
This page has the stations managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The list is as best as I can tell accurate from the information gathered from the hundreds of documents available at the Seattle National Archives. Many other civilian observation posts existed as well, managed by the Civil Defense Agency. The U.S. Coast Guard under the Navy also had a defense system along the coast. Errors will be corrected when found.
16 new lookouts constructed, 12 lookouts repaired. "The vast majority of the lookouts were erected for military purposed and the cost was borne by an emergency appropriation expended through the U.S. Forest Service and the State Department. Details as to location cannot be given here." (35th Annual Report of the Washington Forest Fire Association)

Yes … Therapy Like Betterhelp…The good news is, virtual support group make it easier than ever to take care of your psychological health.
is an online therapy service that permits you to text chat with a certified, accredited therapist 24/7. Keep checking out to see how it works, what to consider, and if it’s right for you.
How does work?
Depending on what you’re looking for, offers counseling for individuals, couples, or households. You produce an account and fill out a survey to find the ideal match.
Throughout the survey, you’re able to note out your therapist choices, including their gender, religious beliefs, age, sexual orientation, language, in addition to what issues you’re wanting to take on, and how essential it is that your counselor be well versed in those subjects.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a number of days to be matched to an in-state therapist.
According to, counselors are accredited, trained, experienced, and accredited psychologists, marital relationship and family therapists, scientific social workers, or certified expert therapists.
All the business’s counselors have a master’s or doctorate degree and possess at least 3 years and 2,000 hours of experience as psychological health professionals.
You can simply email to be reassigned if you do not like who you’re paired with.
” Therapy can be daunting, specifically for a great deal of novice clients. Text-based communication (texting and live-chat sessions) are an excellent method to take some of the stress and anxiety out of starting therapy and assistance customers dive into the procedure,” states James Imrie, the creative and marketing manager at.
Is BetterHelp com legit?
You can right away start messaging them in a protected and personal chat room once you’ve been matched with a counselor.
The chatroom is accessible at any time as long as your device has trusted web. Messaging isn’t performed in real-time, so there’s no guaranteed response time from your counselor. As a result, you’re totally free to message your therapist at any hour of the day.
Your therapist will respond with questions, feedback, assistance, or research, and the app will inform you of their action.
The conversations are saved in the chatroom so you’re complimentary to reflect and go over whenever you ‘d like. Every discussion is also protected by strict federal and state HIPAA laws.
You can head to the calendar and schedule a live chat session with your therapist if you do not like waiting hours for an action.
This choice imitates the comfort of texting a buddy who instantly understands.
” Writing down your thoughts is an useful workout for all type of scenarios,” Imrie says. “If you seem like your thoughts are crowded or foggy, boiling them down into a couple of sentences can assist bring a lot of clarity and understanding.”
Live phone session
For those who prefer resolving issues aloud, it’s possible to schedule an hour-long call with your therapist.
The system doesn’t share your individual telephone number with the counselor and whatever is done through the app.
Live video session
You can likewise set up a video session with your counselor if you’re someone who enjoys face-to-face conversation. Simply log on at your visit time and your therapist will prompt you to start the video chat.
From the age of about 13 onwards, I’ve suffered from higher-than-seems-normal levels of anxiety, and while I have actually mainly come to terms with being tense and a bit doomy, I definitely would not mind being less so. I’ve had counselling prior to, and it does assist.
And pulling back from my own (reasonably subtle) issues for a moment, could e-counselling be the answer to the mental health issues intensifying amongst under-30s? With cuts to psychological health services really starting to bite, digitised treatment could be just the ticket for young people who already filter almost every element of their lives– good friends, work, sex, home entertainment– through a screen.
Not everybody is totally convinced that moving mental healthcare online is the way forward. “For me, what works in treatment is when you fulfill somebody in person, in the very same space,” states London-based psychotherapist Sandra Tapie. “You get to know not just what it resembles to speak to the person, but how it feels to be in a space with them. Using Skype is the next best thing: it’s ‘good enough’, however it does not create the closeness, the intimacy, that really gets people to open up and explore things.”
” I’ve carried out some research study into Skype counselling,” says London-based psychotherapist Dr Aaron Balick, “and it’s not the ‘functional equivalent’ of conventional counselling; it’s simply not quite the exact same thing. It’s truly crucial that people who engage in it are aware that it’s a various experience from being in the space with somebody, speaking in person.”
” In regards to availability, it’s an excellent start and definitely better than nothing. It’ll ideally lead them to ultimately appearing in the room. If you’re having a hard time with relationship problems, accessory problems, or deeper issues, it’s better to be in the room with someone. Skype and the internet uses a distance from your counsellor that might not be handy.”
In cases of mild depression, the NHS is now directing some clients towards online programs rather than in person counselling, a phenomenon that concerns Dr Balick.
” My worry is that it’s happening more and more for financial reasons, instead of because it’s what’s finest for people. If it’s presented simply to save cash and there aren’t vital questions being inquired about these services, that’s not good. Then, I’m always very sceptical of individuals who are either really extremely pro or very very versus online psychological health care. It’s a case of asking the best questions.”
I signed up for 4 extremely various online mental health services– ranging in expense from complimentary to , 100 a month– and ran my stress and anxieties through them all, simultaneously, for a week. Here’s what I discovered.
Does BetterHelp use licensed therapists? Therapy Like Betterhelp
What I’m doing here is reviewing my experience of using each mental health service, rather than its efficiency – since even the most wizard-like therapist isn’t going to ‘cure’ you in simply one week. Okay, cool – let’s mental health!
How does it work?
As seen on FB (by me, anyhow), United States business is the corporate leviathan of the e-counselling video game. They declare to have 500 certified counsellors working for them, each with a minimum of 3 years of experience.
After filling out a questionnaire to determine what particular flavour of psychological you are, you’re coupled with a counsellor, who you can mercilessly switch for a various one at any time. (I got Dr. Laura Dabney, from Virginia). You then start an instant messaged treatment session that both you and your counsellor can drop in and out of, and which could, in theory, continue till one of you eventually passed away.
What does it cost?
You get a free seven-day trial – much like a free Netflix or Amazon Prime trial, other than with method more questions about what your youth resembled. After that, it costs from , 24.50 a week for limitless message-based counselling and one ‘free’ phone session with your counsellor per month. Yeah, I do not get how it’s totally free either, however whatever.
How much is BetterHelp monthly?
If you find the idea of baring your soul to a complete stranger a bit awks, filtering that through instant messaging might be valuable. You will not get the same connection just like in person counselling, but the semi-anonymity might make it much easier to open if you’ve been consuming 2 bottles of rum and dancing around in your dead nan’s bridal gown every night.
She initially established the scale of my anxiety, what triggers it– social circumstances, satisfying people for the first time– and then dived headlong into my fractious youth (divorced parents, stretched familial relationships, bullied in junior school). She was pretty nosey tbh, however then that’s her task, isn’t it?
In general, the service is impressively slick. The conversation can be a little stop-starty at times, however it was in fact a far smoother and more on-tap experience than I anticipated. I even got fast reactions to messages over the weekend, which was unexpected.
Talkspace vs Betterhelp
The fact you can edit messages before sending them suggests you’re not likely to blurt out something revealing and unguarded in the heat of the minute. So extensive minutes of realisation might be difficult to come by if you can’t get an unwinded flow going.
Who do I think it might it benefit?
Anyone with a low-end mental health problem who’s cool with getting counselled in an extremely internet-y, 2016-y method. If you’re living under the blackest, bleakest cloud you can possibly imagine and need serious attention (and potentially some medications), most likely isn’t for you Therapy Like Betterhelp

How do the leaves of the mimosa plant respond to touch?
The exciting manner the fern-like leaves reply to the touch is why those mimosa plant lives have emerged as so famous. Touching the leaflets causes them to fold together towards the stem. You can see the same impact if you blow on them or shake them.
Why do mimosa flora near?
Moisture in the microscopic cells applies a force referred to as turgor stress. This pressure maintains the leaves upright. Any disturbance—contact, airflow, or heat—reasons moisture within the leaflets to go with the flow out. This lack of pressure affects the leaf’s final in on the stem.
This impact of the plant going to sleep and searching wilted is an idea to be a protection mechanism. However, scientists aren’t sure precisely why to touch me now not flora try this.

A south-facing windowsill will provide masses of direct sunlight. However, you want to ensure that too much daylight doesn’t burn the leaves. If you note that leaves start to yellow. Move the plant approximately 3.5 toes. (1.5 m) faraway from the window. If you continue to have problems with yellow leaves. Then it can be problems with moisture ranges.
If your mimosa plant doesn’t get enough light, the leaves might not open properly. So, if your plant is constantly searching shy and humble, circulate it to a brighter region.

Dilute the fertilizer to the best amount and feed every three weeks from spring to summer. The proper fertilizer enables sensitive plant life to grow properly and gives them masses of strength to move their leaves.
When it involves feeding a ‘sleepy’ plant, understand that over-feeding is just as horrific as not feeding at all. To prevent a buildup of mineral salts, flush the soil now and again.

It must take between one and four weeks for seeds to germinate.
When seedlings are mounted, repot them into small person pots.
Repotting a Sensitive Plant

As a ground cover outside tropical plants. Mimosa pudica is a perennial that prospers in hot. Sunny environments with high humidity.
But simply due to the fact you may develop this shrubby plant outdoors doesn’t imply that you need to. Many scientists describe the sensitive plant as an invasive weed this is tough to manipulate once it takes to keep. Its dense ground cowl also surpasses the boom of many native plant life. Mimosa pudica is banned in a few countries and states in which it isn’t always part of the native biome.
So, if you want to be fascinated by the leaves folding in when you contact them. It’s great to grow touchy flora as indoor houseplants.
Pests and Diseases
There are only a few pests that affect sensitive plants whilst grown as indoor flowers. The handiest type of pest to watch out for is spider mites. You may additionally notice signs and symptoms of spider mites as little red dots on the bottom of leaves or skinny webs at the plant. Usually, wiping with a damp material needs to get rid of them.

Nationals select Deputy Leader of the NSW Nationals Adrian Piccoli as Murray candidate.May 27, 2014 3:05am
Deputy Leader of the NSW Nationals Adrian Piccoli is the National Party’s candidate for the electorate of Murray at next year’s state election.
Mr Piccoli won the pre-selection vote in Hay on Saturday, which was decided by Nationals members.
Coordinated by Deniliquin’s Joan Douglas, 120 people attended the meeting and 109 voted.
Mr Piccoli said official voting divisions will not be released, but that he received ‘‘about 70 per cent of the votes’’.
Unsuccessful were Wakool’s David Landini and Helen Dalton from Griffith.
Mr Piccoli was elected to the NSW Parliament as the Member for Murrumbidgee in 1999.
Murrumbidgee was abolished in last year’s electoral redistribution.
It comes to effect at the March 2015 election, and the majority of Murrumbidgee’s electors now fall within the new Murray electorate.
The bottom half of Murray-Darling, represented by The Nationals’ John Williams, will also move into Murray.
‘‘I am very much looking forward to representing the people of Murray if I am elected as their representative in March next year,’’ Mr Piccoli said.
‘‘I would like to thank all the members of The Nationals who came to Hay to show their support for the work that the NSW government is doing in our regional communities.
‘‘I would also like to thank the other preselection candidates David Landini and Helen Dalton for the good nature in which this democratic process was conducted.’’
Looking ahead to next year’s election, Mr Piccoli said The Nationals has a proven track record of supporting regional communities.
‘‘We’ve invested more than $1 billion in rebuilding regional hospitals, $13 billion into regional infrastructure, more than $1 billion to make regional roads safer and delivered more than 2000 new nurses, police officers and teachers to regional New South Wales.
‘‘As Minister for Education I have also led the charge to deliver a fairer deal for students in regional New South Wales. The right to a quality education should never be dependent upon where a child lives.
‘‘This is why the Nationals & Liberal government has implemented a new model for school funding which has delivered a significant increase in funding for schools across the Murray electorate.
‘‘This includes $226,000 more for Leeton High School, $117,000 for Hillston Public School, $166,000 for Wade High School in Griffith, $97,000 for Deniliquin High School and $87,000 for Dareton High School.
‘‘If I am elected as the Member for Murray next year, this good work will continue for communities right across the electorate from Griffith to Hay, Deniliquin to Leeton and everywhere in between.’’
Chairman of the NSW Nationals Niall Blair congratulated Mr Piccoli on his resounding endorsement as The Nationals’ candidate for Murray and his great work as the Member for Murrumbidgee.
‘‘The preselection was an opportunity for all financial members of six months standing in the new electorate of Murray to cast their vote for their preferred candidate,’’ Mr Blair said.
‘‘Adrian’s overwhelming endorsement today is a reflection of the results he has delivered to the community since 1999 and his groundbreaking work as Minister for Education.
‘‘Adrian is a hard working local Member of Parliament and he is constantly fighting for the interests of the communities that he represents.
‘‘I have no doubt that this work will continue if he becomes the Member for Murray next March.’’

Angioplasty, Atherectomy & Stenting
Angioplasty, also known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or balloon angioplasty, is used to open arteries that are narrowed or blocked by plaque, a fatty buildup. To perform the procedure, your doctor threads a catheter fitted with a deflated balloon into the arteries of your heart. Once in position, the balloon is inflated to compress the plaque against the artery walls and restore blood flow.
Atherectomy is another procedure used to treat narrowed arteries by removing plaque buildup. To perform the procedure, your doctor uses a catheter fitted with a special cutting device to shave or cut off plaque. The catheter can also be fitted with a special laser that dissolves the blockage.
As part of the angioplasty or atherectomy procedure, your doctor may place a stent — a wire mesh tube — in the artery to hold it open and help prevent another blockage from forming. El Camino Health also offers an alternative stent option, the Absorb GT1, the first-of-its-kind bioresorbable heart stent. The Absorb stent is made of a naturally dissolving material, similar to dissolving sutures. The stent disappears completely within three years after doing its job of keeping a clogged artery open and promoting healing of the area being treated. El Camino Health is the first in the Bay Area to use Absorb.

The Coimbatore Corporation rescued seven stray mares (female horses) that were found on the streets in Selvapuram and relocated the animals to VOC Park for temporary maintenance.
According to the officials, the mares were rescued from Priya Nagar in Selvapuram (Ward No. 76) on Friday evening following complaints from residents. The mares were allegedly blocking the traffic and causing nuisance to the residents, following which they petitioned the district administration. A team from the Corporation’s South Zone rescued the animals, which were later brought to the VOC Park to be looked after by the staff members of the VOC Park Zoo.
The owners have not come forward to claim the animals as of Saturday, the officials said. It is likely that the mares were intended to be sold at an annual cattle and horse shandy in Erode district, but as the shandy was not organised this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, these were abandoned on the streets here, according to the officials.
E. Senthilnathan, Zoo Director, said on Saturday that the zoo staff members were providing feed and water to the mares kept at the park. “If the owners claim [these mares], we will levy a fine and hand these over,” he said, adding that the animals would be sent to a goshala, if remained unclaimed.

The Housing White Paper ‘Fixing our broken housing market’, published on 7 February 2017, identifies that compulsory purchase law gives local authorities extensive powers to assemble land for development and that recent and proposed legislation (the Housing & Planning Act 2016 and Neighbourly Planning Bill) is reforming CPO process to make it clearer, fairer and faster. As a result, planning authorities are encouraged to use these powers, particularly in areas of high housing need.
Whilst local authorities do have powers which are simply presented and appear extensive, the Government Guidance that sits behind them requires an authority to demonstrate in detail how it intends to use the land it is proposing to acquire and to show there are no impediments – such as planning, funding and developer procurement – to these proposals proceeding. In order to do this, the authority needs to have the appetite and ability to proceed, the resource and financial commitment, and confidence in the system. Whilst the CPO is process is a useful tool - and often an essential ingredient - in providing land for development, commencing the process is not straightforward particularly if the authority has no recent experience or is put off by the misconceived perception that the CPO process is a generally adversarial action.
Recent and proposed legislative changes tinker with some parts of the compulsory purchase process. These changes should result in a fairer deal for landowners and perhaps bring slight clarity to what is largely an opaque process. However, they are unlikely to speed up the compulsory purchase process which can typically take 18 months or more. More significantly, these changes do not relate to the front end of the process and are unlikely to do much to influence the decision of a local authority to promote a CPO in the first place: this requires an understanding of the process, an ability to commit and confidence in the process.
The White Paper also proposes to encourage more active use of compulsory purchase to promote development on stalled sites for housing. It announces that the Government will be consulting on, and then preparing, new Guidance to local authorities to support the build out of stalled sites. This Guidance – which might helpfully be extended to cover existing powers of compulsory purchase – may require a substantial shift from the current arrangements which require the local authority to retain control and demonstrate certainty of change. The proposals considered in the White Paper suggest that stalled development sites might be capable of being “unlocked” by compulsory acquisition followed by disposal in the market. It will be interesting to see how the consultation responds to how this can successfully be used to ensure that use of CPO actually increases the likelihood of development completing within the desired timetable.

Yorke Mid North police are urging vigilance around security of farming equipment in an effort to combat opportunistic thieves.
With harvest season upon us police are urging the agricultural community to be mindful of vehicle security during the 2019 season, following a number of thefts during the 2018 harvest.
There have already been several reported thefts in the past few months with thieves targeting equipment including UHF radios, auto steer components and GPS units.
Balgowan, Wallaroo, Kadina and Riverton were all targeted last year.
The theft of farm machinery or equipment can cause considerable personal and financial loss for farmers and police are encouraging locals to take precautionary measures to reduce the opportunity for theft.
Pevention tips are as follows:
* Always know where your equipment is located on the farm.
* Never leave keys in machinery, and ensure you secure any vehicle cabs.
* If machinery breaks down, do not leave it in a paddock. Have the machinery moved to a shed or location near the house.
* If securing your vehicle or equipment is not possible, consider immobilising the machinery by removing the distributor cap or battery. Machines that are rarely used, stored outside or in remote areas should also be immobilised in this manner.
* Consider using a chain to secure machinery to each other or to a strong anchor point such as a tree. You can also chain and lock the front wheel to the rear wheel or axle.
* Build a fenced enclosure that can be padlocked shut for heavier equipment that cannot be secured in sheds.
* Ensure that all machinery and pieces of equipment are marked with identification and maintain an inventory with a description including serial number, chassis and model numbers of the machinery.
* Use metal engravers or a welder to mark your property with ‘SA’ for your state and your driver’s licence number.
* Photograph and video machinery and valuable items and store them with your inventory.
* Use lockable fuel caps.
* Secure tools and tool boxes.

Even for bankers, who love taking things apart and putting them back together, Sanford Weill's U-turn is striking.
The former Citigroup C 0.23 % chairman now believes it was a mistake to scrap the Glass-Steagall separation of commercial and investment banking, once seen as one of his crowning achievements. As stunning as this admission was, he was only catching up with what markets already think.
While too-big-to-fail banks may enjoy lots of supposed advantages, outsize market valuations aren't one of them. The three, big U.S. banks with substantial commercial and investment banking operations— J.P. Morgan Chase, JPM -0.11 % Citigroup and Bank of America BAC -0.26 % —trade at a substantial discount to many, far smaller peers.
Citi and BofA trade at prices that are equal to only around half their tangible book value, or net worth. J.P. Morgan just trades at tangible book.
Meanwhile, a group of about 50 regional banks with market values between $1 billion and $25 billion trade at an average of 1.5 times tangible book, according to data from FactSet. And even bigger banks that lack substantial investment-banking and trading operations trade at a premium. U.S. Bancorp, USB -0.20 % for example, trades at 2.6 times tangible book, while Wells Fargo WFC 0.51 % is at about 1.8 times.
The higher valuations afforded to more focused banks reflect a variety of factors. The biggest, most interconnected banks will be forced to maintain higher levels of capital, under new regulatory regimes. New rules also look set to make trading operations less profitable. And bigger banks are being assessed a sort of conglomerate penalty for their complexity and the inherent risks that poses.
Given this, any move to resurrect Glass-Steagall potentially could unlock value. J.P. Morgan's consumer and commercial bank businesses, for example, likely would trade at a multiple nearer to that of Wells Fargo. If the investment-banking segment didn't trade too far below tangible book value, such a split might make sense.
Most importantly, a restructuring of the biggest banks would reduce banking concentration and the risks it poses to the financial system and taxpayers.
The biggest banks, for their part, have insisted there are advantages to having integrated businesses that reach across the banking spectrum and the world, both for customers and their own shareholders. They also claim that any move to break up big, U.S. banks would simply leave an opening for foreign banking behemoths, which often enjoy greater government support.
In any case, calls to break up the biggest banks aren't likely to lead to any quick legislative action. With presidential and congressional elections looming, Washington isn't about to tackle such a politically fraught topic. Nor is it clear that Glass-Steagall would be a silver bullet—any reincarnation would require new regulatory structures to insure that new stand-alone investment banks don't themselves become a threat to financial stability.
But Mr. Weill's change of heart, no matter how late in the day, should prompt soul searching among bank board members and executives. It may also prod shareholders to become more aggressive in seeking change.
That would be good for markets and taxpayers. It might even benefit banks. After all, better for them to change in an attempt to become more attractive investments, than to risk having change thrust upon them.

Sparks 2014 Abstract MiP2014
|NAMPT remodels substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle.|
In mammals, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is responsible for the first and rate-limiting step in the “salvage pathway” that converts nicotinamide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). We previously showed that exercise increased skeletal muscle NAMPT expression, which correlates with mitochondrial content in humans . Caloric restriction-induced beneficial effects in oxidative stress, mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic adaptation in mice require NAMPT . The mechanisms responsible for metabolic adaption are unclear. We hypothesized that muscle-specific overexpression of NAMPT in mice (NamptTg) would improve muscle respiratory capacity and control and would be additive with endurance exercise training in these mice.
Based on western blotting studies, NamptTg mice express 10-fold more skeletal muscle NAMPT protein compared to wild type (WT) mice. A concomitant elevation of NMN (5-fold) and NAD+ (3-fold) in NamptTg skeletal muscle revealed increased NAMPT enzymatic activity. WT and NamptTg mice were housed with ('trained') or without ('sedentary') running wheels to elicit voluntary exercise for a period of 7 weeks (WT Sedentary; WT Trained; NamptTg Sedentary; NamptTg Trained). No differences were observed in the proclivity of NamptTg mice to engage in voluntary exercise. Mice were fasted for 5 h prior to sacrifice. Quadriceps muscles were used for the respiration measurements. SUIT protocols were performed in permeabilized fiber bundles using either Complex I-linked substrates (CI, pyruvate+glutamate+malate) or a fatty acid oxidation (FAO, palmitoyl-carnitine+malate) plus CI–linked (glutamate) substrate combination (CI&FAO; Fig. 1)
NamptTg mice had an increased CI&FAO capacity after training (P<0.05; Fig. 1A). Notably, this training-induced improvement in the NamptTg mice tended to be higher than the trivial increase in CI&FAO flux with training in WT mice (P=0.0595; Fig. 1A). Increased NAMPT levels were sufficient to dramatically improve mitochondrial coupling efficiency, as reflected by the significant reduction in the ratio of proton leak-linked respiration (L) to OXPHOS capacity (P) in the NamptTg mice compared with WT mice at baseline (P<0.05; Figure 1B). While training improved coupling efficiency in the WT mice (P<0.05, Figure 1B), it tended to further improve coupling efficiency in the NamptTg mice as well (P=0.107; Fig. 1B).
Taken together, decreased LEAK/OXPHOS ratios (i.e. improved biochemical coupling efficiency) and an increased capacity to burn CI&FAO-linked substrates indicate a synergistic improvement in muscle mitochondrial function via NAMPT and endurance exercise, whereby an increased amount of NAMPT is sufficient to enhance the exercise-induced improvements in substrate metabolism.

By Katherine Black
I came to a realization recently – I believe we are living in a society that craves real connection, but aren’t sure where to find it. We turn to falsehoods as a way to make this happen. My way of finding what I thought was true connection was from a bottle. Alcohol to be more specific. I thought going out with friends while consuming copious amounts of booze was the thing to do. Here we were, a table of girls in a restaurant bawling our eyes out, telling each other our deepest, darkest secrets, only to wake up the next morning feeling shameful because of it, and most of the time not completely remembering what we spoke about in the first place.
It was time for me to wake up. And to take a good, hard look at my life. I was surrounded by family, friends, acquaintances, but I was lonely. About a year ago, I decided it was time to eliminate alcohol completely from my life. Many factors contributed to this decision, but the biggest at the time was that it just wasn’t serving me anymore. I was going down a deep, dark rabbit hole, with no soft landing in sight.
Coincidentally (or maybe not…) this started me down a path into self-awareness and self-discovery. I quit drinking with no assistance from a program or any other approach, only the support of my therapist in Calgary. Alcohol had taken up so much space in my mind, body and soul. Now that it was no longer there, I had the capacity to soak up so much more from life and experiences.
After reading many books and listening to dozens of podcasts on alcohol, wellness, spirituality, and self-awareness, I decided it was time to take things to the next level. I asked someone very close to me, “What’s my next step? What else can I do?” I wanted more. I craved more – more love, more awareness, more fulfillment out of life. He suggested I seriously look into and consider the Come Alive program at The Haven. To say this was out of my comfort zone was an understatement. First, it was a week away from my life and work. Second, it was in another province. Third, from the outside, it seemed to be a super intensive form of self-discovery, which intimidated me to no end – ALL EXCUSES. I wavered for a few weeks, but something always drew me back to The Haven’s website and the Come Alive program information.
What was I waiting for? Well, I was scared at what was there to discover. But my curiosity and trust in my friend’s advice overpowered any other feelings I had, and I went ahead and booked it. It always came back to: this is ultimately what I wanted and had asked for. I was to leave in 2 weeks from the date I booked, not a lot of time to think about it. And I’m happy I didn’t. My friend had done Come Alive previously and chose wisely not to tell me anything about it. I went in without expectation — a very good move on my part.
So now it’s time to circle back to what I stated earlier about real connection. What I got out of the Come Alive program was just that. It was BEYOND anything I had experienced up until that point in my life. Here we were, 25 people with different circumstances as to what brought us there, but all with the same common interest to connect on a real level. To have people sit and listen to you, really listen to you, and not judge you or your story or situation is so incredibly life changing. I was truly able to be myself, to take off my mask, break down my walls and become vulnerable knowing that the leaders, facilitators and others in the group had only my best interest at heart. And the models presented and demonstrated are clearly thought through and relatable in almost every facet of my life.
After leaving the Come Alive program, I felt a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in a while. And I could see it in others as well. I am still in connection with many of the people in my group and am so incredibly lucky to have met those that I did at this time in my life when I needed to the most. This has currently brought me on a now daily quest to find those who I can have real connections with, who won’t judge me for what I have gone through knowing that it makes me the rad person I am today. There is a reason you are reading this post right now – From my experience, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Kat Black is a recent Come Alive participant at The Haven. We’re grateful for her vulnerability and courage in sharing her inspiration and journey with us (and you!). She’s created an independent blog and website — VivifyYYC – a resource where like-minded women can talk sobriety, mental illness, and overall wellness.

text: Studio update - October colour schemes Sarah Buchan · October 29, 2015 I'm on a roll! In the last couple of weeks I've come up with a few new colour schemes that are looking great, I'm very excited. Look at these! Its so cool how the colours have bled together so beautifully! Last but not least, my new favourite piece, both design and colour scheme. Introducing the Iona Necklace!


It turns out even the UK manufacturing sector, which over recent months has staged a glorious recovery, is vulnerable to the whims of Vladimir Putin. The Purchasing Manager's Index, published this morning, fell to 52.5 in August, its lowest reading since June 2013 and well below economists' expectations of 55.
The index, published by Markit and CIPS, fell from 54.8 in July. Any figure above 50 denotes growth in the sector.
Analysts blamed geopolitics.
Rob Dobson, Markit's senior economist, said demand was unlikely to improve if tensions in Europe continued to escalate:
It is becoming increasingly evident that UK industry is not immune to the impacts of rising geopolitical and global market uncertainty, especially when they affect economic growth and business confidence in our largest trading partner the Eurozone. It is noticeable that where export orders were reported to have risen, companies mainly linked this to demand from North America, Asia and the Middle East, as opposed to our European partners
Robert Wood, chief economist at Berenberg, added:
Russia’s escalation of the conflict in Ukraine has taken a toll on the internationally exposed manufacturing sector, and that effect could yet worsen further in the coming months given recent confidence drops in the more directly exposed core European economies. These developments pose a serious downside risk to growth this year and next.
The good news was foreign demand for British-made goods rose for the 17th month in a row - orders increased from clients in the US, Canada, Asia and the Middle East. Job creation in the secotor also rose for the 16th consecutive month.
However, Dobson added that "it looks as if manufacturing will provide a lesser contribution to the UK economic growth story in the third quarter than at the start of the year".

Current Research Projects
Two-photon spectroscopy of fluorescent proteins
Our goal is to develop better fluorescent protein probes optimized for maximum two-photon .brightness and maximum sensitivity to electric field for real-time detection of action potentials in neurons.
Chromophores with enhanced two-photon efficiency
Our goal is to find what determines the NLO response and how to increase the 2PA cross section. We study two photon absorption (2PA) spectra and cross sections in organic chromophores - polyenes, dendrimers, aggregates, porphyrins, phthalocyanines, corroles etc. In collaboration with organic synthetic groups, we design and create new 2PA-enhanced molecules for various applications, such as optical limiting, 3D storage, PDT and 2PA microscopy.
Two-photon deep tissue imaging
We have found that the two-photon fluorescence excitation spectra of some near-IR organic dyes can be used as a sensitive indicator of cancer cells. The goal is to use this property for diagnosing malignant tumors in deep tissue using near-IR femtosecond laser pulses.
We have developed a novel therapeutic agent comprising of a patented 2PA-enhanced porphyrin core conjugated to a cancer cell targeting unit and near-IR fluorescence imaging dye. Together these components form one multi-functional nano-photonic construct for beep penetration non-invasive, image-guided photodynamic therapy (PDT). We have shown that various types of cancer tumors can be significantly regressed by illumination with near-IR femtosecond laser pulses.

King of RPGs’s co-author and former Viz Media editor, Jason Thompson, joins the Manga Corner to talk about Japanese culture (maids, butlers, new otaku versus old otaku, hikkikomori, and ganguro girls) found in manga.
There are so many references in manga that non-Japanese people won’t get unless they’ve visited Japan. Jd (based in Okinawa, Japan) and Jason (based in California) break down some of those manga references.
Topics discussed includes maid and butler cafes in Japan, the rise of hikkikomori people, shyness in manga, Japanese dialects, older otaku versus younger otaku, prostitution media craze, and the anti-American sentiment in Okinawa.
Jason also shares a little insight into his time as a Viz Media editor.

This visit was to support the topic of WWI, life in the trenches and the home front, studied at Key Stage 3. After visiting the WWI galleries they were able to see an exciting exhibition on The Secret War. This included many gadgets and designs reminding them of James Bond! They also learned about the formation of MI5 and MI6 and their role in keeping the United Kingdom safe. All agreed, an informative day all round!

Steve recently tied a deer hair diver he decided to call the Sneaky Pete Deer Hair Diver. A buddy was out fishing him using a Sneaky Pete balsa wood bass bug, so Steve spun up a deer hair version and it worked pretty good on his next outing.
Hook: Daiichi 2464 2/0, Gama SC15 2/0 Mustad 3366 size 6
Tail: Whiting American saddle hackle with centipede rubber legs and crystal flash
Body: flash chenille
Head: Stacked or spun deer hair
Eyes: Doll eyes glued with goop
Weed guard: 20# or 25# hard Mason line
NOTES FROM STEVE:
I fished the bug with intermediate line the first day and got a lot of hits after a 6” strip and the bug floating back to the surface. I was fishing the weed lines and rip-rap next to shore from a float tube.
The next day I used dry line on my Sage Largemouth Rod off a bass boat and got more action because there was more tidal current and we covered way more area. With the floating line the bug dove erratically while on the top.

Hello and welcome to a brand new episode in the Racing Families mini-series from Sidepodcast. As you may expect we’re looking at the great and the good from the world of motorsport, but particularly those that are keeping it in the family. Today, it’s time for a sprawling family legacy, and the name? Andretti.
You’ve probably heard of Mario Andretti. He’s tried his hand at pretty much every type of racing there is on four wheels, and been largely successful too. The 73 year old American is now, naturally, retired, but in his sporting career he added to a long list of titles, and broke far too many records to mention. Mario was F1 World Champion in 1978, driving for Team Lotus, having joined the sport ten years earlier. Before that, in 1969, he won the Indy 500, which he continued to participate in for 29 years altogether. After his F1 stint, with a little bit of a crossover, he appeared in the CART series, winning that championship in 1984. He’s also tried his hand at NASCAR and the Le Mans 24 Hour race, with his best finish an overall second place.
With this kind of DNA, it’s hardly surprising that the Andretti family are one of the more extensive in racing. Mario Andretti has a twin brother called Aldo, and in their very early days of racing, they built up a stock car together and took turns behind the wheel. They continued racing for about ten years, between 1959 and 69, but after two serious accidents, Aldo gave it up. The first fractured his skull and left him in a coma, but after recovering from that he continued. The second saw him crash into a fence and sustain serious facial injuries. Some reports suggest he had 14 fractures to his face. It’s no surprise he quit racing after that.
Aldo had two sons, John Andretti and Adam Andretti. John has tried his hand at a lot of racing series, although primarily focusing on the various NASCAR championships, and the CART/IndyCar series. Adam, the younger brother, got a bit of a leg-up into racing by his elder sibling, helping him into some junior formulae. He’s participated in the Indy Lights series, plus NASCAR Southwest, and US Formula 3, but it’s fair to say he hasn’t made the name for himself that other Andretti’s have.
That is Aldo’s side of the family wrapped up, now let’s go back to Mario. He also had two sons, Michael Andretti and Jeff Andretti. Michael moved up through the lower ranks to the CART series, finishing his first year seventh in the 1984 championship. He won the title in 1991, taking eight of 17 victories, and on the strength of this, he moved up to Formula 1. In 1993, he took a seat in the McLaren team alongside Ayrton Senna, but it was not a successful year for him. Michael racked up a lot of retirements, until he was replaced by Mika Häkkinen three races from the end of the season. Leaving F1 under such acrimonious circumstances, he returned to the CART series, where there were more victories waiting for him, although alas, not another title. Nowadays, he is more of a team owner than a racer, with the current Andretti Autosport IndyCar team.
Jeff Andretti raced in the CART series from 1990 to 1994, with Indy 500 entries to compliment this racing. After a serious crash in 1992, though, in which both his legs were broken, Jeff lost his competitive edge, and his racing career did not continue for much longer afterwards.
Just one more generation to discuss, and that is Michael’s son Marco. He races for the Andretti Autosport team in the IndyCar series, and has had a brief peek at Formula 1, testing for the now-defunct Honda squad. He’s also raced in the A1 Grand Prix series, and had a go at the 12 Hours of Sebring. At 26, the future of the Andretti name in motorsport rests on his shoulders.
That’s just a small glimpse at the Andretti clan, we could talk about them for hours. They’ve created and broken many records, including being the first family to have four relatives compete in the CART series. They also had three separate years in which there were four relatives competing in the Indy 500. There’s that saying about quality, not quantity, but I think the Andrettis have a little bit of both.
That’s all for this episode of Racing Families. I hope you’ve enjoyed this look at the heart of one motorsport family tree. We’ve got plenty more to come so leave your thoughts on Sidepodcast.com and join me tomorrow for the next racing name.
