The origin and meaning of Catawba are unknown. It is said that Lynche creek hi South Carolina, east of the Catawba territory, was anciently known as Kadapau; and from the fact that Lawson applies the name Kadapau to a small band met by him southeast of the main body of the tribe, which he calls Esaw, it is possible that it was originally applied to this people by some tribe living in eastern South Carolina, from whom the first colonists obtained it. The Cherokee, having no b in their language, changed the word to Atakwa, or Anitakwa in the plural. The Shawano and other tribes of the Ohio valley made the word Cuttawa. From the earliest period the Catawba have also been known distinctively as the ” river [Catawba, iswa people,” from their residence on what seems to have been considered the principal river of the region, Iswa, ” the river,” being their only name for the Catawba and Wateree. The name appears in the Issa of La Vandera as early as 1569, in the Ushery (iswa-here, “river down there”) of Lederer, and hi the Esaw of Lawson. They were also called Flatheads (Oyadagahroene) by the Iroquois, a name which leads to some confusion, as it was also frequently applied by the same people to the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Cherokee. The name was properly applicable to the Choctaw, who practiced the custom of head flattening, as did also the Waxhaw of South Carolina adjoining the Catawba; but there seems to be no allusion to the existence of this strange custom among the Catawba themselves. They were also frequently included by the Iroquois under the general term of Totiri or Toderichroone (whence the form Tutelo), applied to all the southern Siouan tribes collectively. Like most other tribes the Catawba know themselves simply as “people,” or 44 Indians,” in their language nieya or nieye, abbreviated to nie or ye, or sometimes expanded into Kataba nie, “Catawba Indians”. 1
Gallatin in 1836 classed the Catawba as a distinct stock, and they were so regarded until Gatschet visited them in South Carolina in 1881 and obtained from them a vocabulary of over 1,000 words, among which he found numerous Siouan correspondences. On the strength of this testimony they were classed with the Siouan stock in the First Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, published in the same year. No further investigation of the subject was made until Hale’s account of the Tutelo language, published in 1883, Gatschet’s further discovery of the Biloxi in 1886, and the author’s notice of the Siouan affinity of the Saponi in 1890 proved beyond question that some of the oldest forms of the Siouan languages must be looked for in the east. The material obtained by Mr. Gatschet was then turned over for critical examination to Mr. Dorsey, a specialist in the well-known Siouan tribes of the west, with the result that he pronounced the Catawba a Siouan language. This established, it followed that the Woccon and other languages known to be closely related to the Catawba must also belong to the same stock. As nearly all the tribes of both Carolinas from Cape Fear river to the Combahee were closely allied politically with the Catawba, with whom they were afterward incorporated, it is probable, though not certain, that they were all of the same linguistic stock.
According to a Catawba tradition related in Schoolcraft, the people originally came from the north, driven by the “Connewangos,” by which is evidently meant the Iroquois. They settled on Catawba river, and after a desperate struggle with the Cherokee, who claimed prior rights in the region, they succeeded in maintaining their position; and Broad river was adopted as the boundary between the two tribes. So much of the tradition may be accepted as genuine. The rest of it, relating with great exactness of detail how they had lived in Canada, how the Connewango were aided by the French; how the Catawba lived for a time in Kentucky and in what is now Botetourt county, Virginia; how they settled on Catawba river about 1660, how in one battle with the Cherokee they lost 1,000 men and the Cherokee lost 1,100, and how the Catawba exterminated the Waxhaw to the last man immediately afterward-all this is absurd, the invention and ignorant surmise of the would-be historian who records the tradition, and of a piece with Schoolcraft’s identification of the Catawba with the lost Eries.” The Catawba were found living about where we have always known them as early as 1567. Kentucky River was called by that name among the Shawano and other northern tribes because up that river lay the great war trail to the Catawba country. The creek bearing the name in Botetourt County, Virginia, was so called from a chance encounter of Shawano or others with a party of Catawba, who used to enter Pennsylvania and cross over to Ohio valley in their raiding excursions, just as the Iroquois and other northern tribes used to penetrate to South Carolina against the Catawba.
The French had nothing to do with the expulsion of the Catawba from the north, as shown by the connected accounts of all the important French dealings with the tribes from their first occupancy. So far from being exterminated, the Waxhaw were found by Lawson living on Waxhaw creek in 1701, and were described in detail by him at that time. It is hardly necessary to say that no tribe in the United States ever lost 1,000 warriors in a single battle with another tribe. As for the Erie, there is no question as to their identity; they were an Iroquian tribe on Lake Erie whose conquest and incorporation by the Iroquois is a matter of history. 2)
From the earliest historical period the Catawba have always lived where the small remnant may still be found, on Catawba River, about on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina. Westward and northwestward they bordered on the Cherokee and Sara, with the former of whom they were in a state of chronic warfare, while on the south and east they had as neighbors several small tribes closely akin to themselves and most of whom afterward united with them in their decline. Their villages were chiefly within the present limits of South Carolina.
The first European acquaintance of the Catawba was with the Spaniards about the middle of the sixteenth century. It is possible that the Guachule of De Soto’s chroniclers, although evidently situated southwest of Catawba river, is identical with the Usheree or Catawba tribe of the later English writers, as Guatari and Hostaqua are identical with Wateree and Oustack or Westo. They are mentioned under the name of Issa by the Spanish captain, Juan Pardo, who conducted an expedition from Saint Helena into the interior of South Carolina in 1567.
The next important notice is given a hundred years later by Lederer, who visited these Indians in 1670 and speaks of them under the name of Ushery. He describes them as living on one side of a great lake, on the farther side of which lived the Oustack (Westo) of whom they were in constant dread. As there is no such lake in that part of the country, it is evident that he must haue visited the region at a time when the low bottom lands of Catawba River were flooded by heavy rains. The swamp lands of Carolina are subject to heavy overflow, and Lawson records the statement that on his journey he found Santee river risen 36 feet above its normal level. While at war with the Westo, the Catawba in 1670 were in alliance with the Wisacky (Waxhaw), a subordinate neighboring tribe. Lawson describes the Catawba women as “reasonably handsome,” and delighting much in feather ornaments, of which they had a great variety. The men were more effeminate and lazy than other Indians generally, a fact which may account for the little importance of the tribe in history. He notes the fact of the universal custom of plucking out the beard. They were acquainted with the Spaniards, who lived only two or three days’ journey southwestward. The Sara, living northwest of the Catawba, also were acquainted with the same nation.
According to Lederer’s account, the Catawba had the fire dance found among so many tribes; he says:
These miserable wretches are strangely infatuated with illness of the devil; it caused so small horror in me to see one of them wrythe his neck all on one side, foam at the mouth, stand barefoot upon burning coal for near one hour, and then, recovering his senses, leap out of the fire without hurt or signe of any. 3)
As it is impossible to do justice to the Catawba within the limits of this paper, only a brief sketch of the tribe will be presented, with especial attention to the obscurer tribes; the fuller descriptions being reserved for a future work on the Indians of the southern Atlantic region.
In 1701 Lawson passed through the territory of the Catawba, whom he calls by the two names of Esaw and Kadapau, ‘evidently unaware that these names are synonyms. In Esaw may be recognised Iswa, whence is derived the name Ushery of Lederer. Kadapau, of course, is another form of Catawba, the band which he calls by this name living some little distance from those designated by him as Esaw. He calls the Esaw a “powerful nation” and states that their villages were “very thick.” From all accounts they were formerly the most populous tribe in the Carolinas excepting the Cherokee. He was everywhere received in a friendly manner, in accord with the universal conduct of the Catawba toward the English save during the Yamasi war. Virginia traders were all among them then, and the great trading path from Virginia to Georgia was commonly known as the Catawba path. He says nothing of head-flattening among this tribe, although he describes the custom in detail as found among the neighboring Waxhaw. Incidentally he mentions that scratching a stranger on the shoulder at parting was regarded as a very great compliment. He also notes the use of a comb set with the teeth of rattlesnakes for scraping the body before applying medicine to the affected part in cases of lameness. 4 A similar practice still persists among the Cherokee.
Adair states that one of the ancient cleared fields of the Catawba extended 7 miles, besides which they had several other smaller village sites. 5 In 1728 (1729 by error) they still had six villages, all on Catawba river, within a distance of 20 miles, the most northerly being called Nauvasa. 6 Their principal village was formerly on the western side of the river in what is now York County, South Carolina, opposite the mouth of Sugar creek. 7
The history of the Catawba up to about the year 1760 is chiefly a record of the petty warfare between themselves and the Iroquois and other northern tribes, throughout which the colonial government was constantly kept busy trying to induce the Indians to stop killing each other and go to killing the French. With the single exception of their alliance with the hostile Yamasi in 1715 they were uniformly friendly to the English and afterward to their successors, the Americans; but they were at constant war with the Iroquois, the Shawano, the Delaware, and other tribes of Ohio valley, as well as with the Cherokee. In carrying on this warfare the Iroquois and the lake tribes made long journeys into South Carolina, and the Catawba retaliated by sending small scalping parties into Ohio and. Pennsylvania. Their losses by the ceaseless attacks of their enemies reduced their numbers steadily and rapidly, while disease and debauchery introduced by the whites, and especially several wholesale epidemics of smallpox, aided the work of destruction, so that before the close of the eighteenth century the great nation of Lawson was reduced to a pitiful remnant (details may be found in the Colonial Documents of New York, in 12 volumes, 1856-1877). They sent a large force to help the colonists in Tuskarora war of 1711-13, and also aided in expeditions against the French and their Indian allies at Fort Du Quesne and elsewhere during the French and Indian war. Later it was proposed to use them and the Cherokee against the lake tribes under Pontiac in 1763. They assisted the Americans also during the Revolution in the defense of South-Carolina against the British, as well as in Williamson’s expedition against the Cherokee.
In 1738 the smallpox raged in South Carolina, and worked great destruction – not only among the whites but also among the Catawba and smaller tribes. In 1759 it appeared again and this time destroyed nearly half the tribe, largely because of their custom (common to other Indians likewise) of plunging into cold water as soon as the disease manifested itself. 8 In order to secure some protection for them in their weakened condition the South Carolina government made strong protests to the governor of New York against the incursions of the Iroquois and Ohio tribes from the north, who did not confine their attention to the Catawba alone, but frequently killed also other friendly Indians and negroes and euen attacked the white settlements. Governor Glen, of South Carolina, at last threatened to take up the quarrel of the Catawba by offering a reward for every northern Indian killed within the limits of South Carolina. This heroic measure was successful, and in- the next year (1751), at a conference at Albany attended by the delegates from the Six Nations and the Catawba, under the auspices- of the colonial governments, a treaty of peace was made between the two tribes, conditional upon the return of some Iroquois prisoners then held by the Catawba. 9 This peace was probably final as regards the Iroquois, but had no effect upon the western tribes, whose interests were all with the French. These tribes continued their warfare against the Catawba, who were now so far reduced that they could make little effectual resistance. In 1762 a small party of Shawano killed the noted chief of the tribe, King Haiglar, near his own village. 10 From this time they ceased to be of importance except in conjunction with the whites. In 1763 they had confirmed to them a reservation (assigned a few years before) of 15 miles square, or 225 square miles, on both sides of Catawba river, within the present York and Lancaster counties, South Carolina. 11
On the approach of the British troops in 1780, the Catawba Indians withdrew temporarily into Virginia, but returned after the battle of Guilford Court House and established themselves in two villages on the reservation, known, respectively, as Newton (the principal village) and Turkey Head, on opposite sides of Catawba rivet. 12 In 1826 nearly the whole of their reservation was leased to whites for a few thousand dollars, on which the few survivors chiefly depended. About 1841 they sold to the state all but a single square mile, on which they now reside. 13 About the same time a number of the Catawba, dissatisfied with their condition among the whites, removed to the eastern Cherokee in western North Carolina, but finding their position among their old enemies equally unpleasant, all but one or two soon went back again. An old woman, the last survivor of this emigration, died among the Cherokee in 1889. Her daughter and a younger full-blood Catawba still reside with that tribe. At a later period some Catawba removed to the Choctaw nation in Indian Territory and settled near Scullyville, but are said now to be extinct. About ten years ago several became converts to Mormon missionaries in South Carolina and went with them to Salt Lake City, Utah.
The following figures show the steady decline of the tribe from the first authentic reports to the present time. At the first settlement of South Carolina (about 1682) they numbered about 1,500 warriors, equivalent perhaps to 6,000 souls. 14 In 1701 they were “a very large nation, containing many thousand people”. 15 In 1728 they had but little more than 400 warriors, equivalent perhaps to 1,600 souls. 16 In 1738 they suffered from the smallpox, and in 1743, even after they had incorporated a number of smaller tribes; the whole body consisted of less than 400 warriors. At that time this mixed nation consisted of the remnants of more than twenty different tribes, each still retaining its own dialect. Others included with them were the Wateree, who had a separate village, the Eno, Cheraw or Sara, Chowan(7), Congaree, Notchee, Yamasi, Coosa, etc. 17 In 1759 the smallpox again appeared among them and destroyed a great many. In 1761 they had left about 300 warriors, say 1,200 total, ” brave fellows as any on the continent of America, and our firm friends”. 18 In 1775 they had little more than 100 warriors, about 400 souls; but Adair says that smallpox and intemperance had contributed more than war to their decrease. 19 They were further reduced by smallpox about the beginning of the Revolution, in consequence of which they took the advice of their white friends and invited the Cheraw still living. in the settlements to move up and join them. 20 This increased their number, and in 1780 they had 150 warriors and a total population of 490. 21 About 1784 they had left only 60 or 70 warriors, or about 250 souls, and of these warriors it was said, “such they are as would excite the derision and contempt of the more western savages”. 22 In 1787 they were the only tribe in South Carolina still retaining an organization. 23 In 1822 they were reported to number about 450 souls, 24 which is certainly a mistake, as in 1826 a historian of the state says they had only about 30 warriors and 110 total population. 25 In 1881 Gatschet found about 85 persons on the reservation on the western bank of Catawba river, about 3 miles north of Catawba Junction, in York county, South Carolina, with about 35 more working on farms across the line in North Carolina, a total of about 120. Those on the reservation were much mixed with white blood, and only about two dozen retained their language. The best authority then among them on all that concerned the tribe and language was an old man called Billy John. They received a small annual payment from the state in return for the lands they had surrendered, but were poor and miserable. For several years they have been without a chief. In 1889 there were only about 50 individuals remaining on the reservation, but of this small remnant the women still retain their old reputation as expert potters. They were under the supervision of an agent appointed by the state.

The eighth chapter of James Clear’s book Atomic Habits talks about how the key to making a habit attractive is in the anticipation of the habit. The anticipation of doing something is more powerful, dopamine-wise, than the actual doing. Therefore, the key to creating new habits lies in associating new habits you want to do to habits you need to do.
For the purposes of integrating these habits with the Recurrer app, a hack to getting started is to have one trivial task that you include in your list that you’re already used to doing first thing in the morning. It could be ‘brush my teeth in the morning’ or ‘weigh myself’ or ‘check morning Twitter’ (reminder: follow @recurrertweets on Twitter if you’re so inclined (or Facebook if you’re otherwise inclined (or both, if you’re bothwise inclined!))).
The key is to have this first to-do item in your list be a quick task that’s already a morning ritual. Completing it gives you an excuse to open Recurrer first thing in the morning to check off the task. Once you’ve done this, your automated list of recurring tasks that you need to do that day pops up right in front of you.
From there, it’s simply a case of following the list. Work your way through the tasks, one at a time, moving things from ‘To Do Today’ to ‘Done Today’. (Or change the list if you need to – don’t forget you always have the ‘Star’ option available to bump something to the top of the list).
Once you’re done with the list for the day, you can reward yourself in an appropriate way. Or an inappropriate way. Who am I to judge? You’ve completed all your tasks – reward yourself however you please.
Clear says in Chapter 8 of Atomic Habits that you should approach your tasks with a thought process of ‘after (habit I need to do), I will (habit I want to do)’. Recurrer can make this even more powerful – after I complete my day’s worth of tasks I need to do, I can indulge myself however I please.

GASTONIA, N.C. – The trial of a high school science teacher and wrestling coach is set to begin after he was charged with 15 felony counts of sex crimes against children last year.
Gary Goins, 44, was booked in the Gaston County jail last June and released on a $100,000 bond.
Goins is charged with eight felony counts of indecent liberties with a child, six felony counts of indecent liberties with a student and one felony count of statutory rape/sex offense of a child six years old or older.
On June 6, 2013, he was also charged with two counts of crimes against nature. Police say the new charges involve a third victim and occurred in 1998.
The charges came after a several month long investigation involving alleged sex offenses. The alleged incidents occurred between May 1, 1999 and June 15, 2004.
Goins was employed as a teacher and coach at East Gaston High School.
He taught earth & environmental science, earth & environmental science honors and physical science. He was also the school’s wrestling coach, according to the school system at the time.
According to arrest warrants, there are at least two men who have alleged they were victims of Goins.
One victim is listed as under the age of 16 when the incidents reportedly happened from May 1999 until September 1999.
A second victim is listed on the report as a 15-year-old boy. He was reportedly victimized from August 2003 until June 2004.

While there are a myriad of associated concerns due to ocular surface inflammation, a few eyelash-related complications of note are trichiasis, acquired distachiasis, local madarosis, and poliosis. Each of these is in some way connected to dry eye.
Inflammation. Seemingly the culprit of the times, fingers increasingly point at its connection to everything from heart disease to arthritis. In the eyes, inflammation can lead to tear film instability that can contribute to dry eye. While there are a myriad of associated concerns due to ocular surface inflammation, a few eyelash-related complications of note are trichiasis, acquired distachiasis, local madarosis, and poliosis. Each of these is in some way connected to dry eye.
More dry eye: Treating dry eye with lipid-based eye drops
A common clinical encounter, trichiasis is usually accompanied by a foreign body sensation. This eyelash abnormality occurs when the cilia arise from the correct anatomical position but are misdirected posteriorly. The etiology of trichiasis include age-related tissue changes and close companions of ocular surface disease-that is, inflammation and the lid margin’s changes in response to it.

Mal-positioned eyelashes can lead to ocular irritation, punctate epithelial erosions, corneal thinning, scarring, corneal pannus, decreased vision, and, although rare, corneal perforation.1
For mild cases of trichiasis and ocular inflammation, regular lubrication with artificial tears, lid hygiene, omega supplements, and MiBoFlo ThermoFlo can be considered to restore lid and gland health. For more severe cases, additional therapies such as epilation, anti-inflammatory therapy and other surgical procedures may be required.
Next: Acquired distachiasis
Acquired distachiasis presents as stunted and flimsy eyelashes originating from the meibomian glands.2 This condition can develop because the meibomian glands and lash follicles differentiate from a common pilosebacious unit, and it is often caused by chronic inflammation.3,4
These sebacious glands are fundamental to preventing tear film evaporation, which is directly related to dry eye. Extended contact lens wear, inflammation, and chronic irritation have all been shown to decrease the number and length of meibomian glands, exacerbating the problem.3
More dry eye: 5 things you don't know about punctal plugs
Specific provoking causes include trauma, chronic irritation to the eyelid margin, chemical injury, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and ocular cicatricial pemphigoid.1,5
These abnormal lashes can easily be epilated, and the underlying condition should be treated appropriately. Rarely, surgical intervention may be required to relieve patient symptoms.
Next: Local madarosis
The term madarosis originates from the Greek word, “madaro,” which means “to fall off.”5 Clinically, madarosis is missing eyelashes in a localized area. Causes of madarosis include chronic blepharitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, surgery, and destructive tissue conditions including neoplasms, systemic lupus, icthyosis, endocrine dysfunction, trauma, alopecia, medications, toxicity, drug abuse, radiation, or chemotherapy. 2,4,5
When evaluating hair or lash loss in patients, it is important to determine whether or not the hair loss is localized to the eyelids. In this way, underlying pathology can be more accurately diagnosed.
More dry eye: A stepwise approach to treating MGD
This cilia abnormality describes premature, localized, whitening of the eyelashes. Ocular poliosis is caused by chronic anterior blepharitis, idiopathic uveitis and sympathetic ophthalmitis.2
Early identification and management of eyelash abnormalities can improve the patient's quality of life. Successful treatment will ultimately decrease inflammation, improve tear film quality, and reduce the occurrence of dry eye.

After saying he would like to fight Erislandy Lara several times in the media Jarrett Hurd may very well get his wish. 3KingsBoxing.com has learned that a possible unification fight between the two could take place as early as April or May.
Hurd has recently told anybody that would listen that he desired a chance to unify against Lara. He’s posted it on social media, mentioned it interviews and all.
Lara finally responded to Hurd’s pleas earlier today by tweeting this:
No more begging you got it! Careful what you wish for! Don't forget I pushed for this fight ???
— Erislandy Lara (@Laraboxing) January 4, 2018
Lara is coming off an easy victory over former US Olympian Terrell Gausha back in October on Showtime. The fight headlined a card that featured all three junior middleweight champions that are under the PBC banner.
Hurd was in the opening bout on the same card. He faced former champion Austin Trout and stopped him in the 10th round. Trout previously lost to Lara as well back in 2013 by unanimous decision.

Longford lost out to third placed Monkstown 27 points to 17 in the Leinster league last weekend.
The win sees Monkstown move three points ahead of Longford into second place with four matches to play.
Longford are not totally out of the running for second place/promotion yet.
All they can do is concentrate on winning their last four games versus DLSP, Suttonians, Tullow and North Kildare and see how the rest of the results fall.
Glenn Basketts side will now be hoping for a Towns Cup run, with Cill Dara visiting CPL Park on Sunday January 21st in the first round of tournament.
However, next up is a home fixture versus DLSP next Sunday.
“Opportunities don’t come around often, and this was an opportunity lost. We talked about these small chances to take the opportunity before the game, and we didn’t take it, Said the head coach Glenn Baskett.
“with DLSP coming to Longford next week we just have to look at where we went wrong, and why? Because DLSP wont give us the luxury of an easy get back on the horse game, we will have to be better than against Monkstown.” Explained the Head Coach.

In the present study, Cu-based nanomaterials are synthesized by initiating spark discharges between two copper electrodes immersed in de-ionized water. The electrical conductivity of water is varied by adding HCl at very low concentrations. The discharge and water properties are determined by measuring the current-voltage waveforms and monitoring water acidity and conductivity, respectively. Scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy analyses of the produced nanoparticles show that increasing water conductivity, by adding HCl, promotes the synthesis of Cu-based nanomaterials. Depending on the initial water conductivity, various nanostructures are observed, including nanoflakes of cuprite (Cu2O), dendrites with high Cu content, and unordered micrometric aggregates with a mixed Cu/Cu2O content. The initial water conductivity also affects the chemical structure, mainly the relative Cu/Cu2O crystalline content.

Appearing on a Sunday news show, Mayor Eric Garcetti noted that the Los Angeles metropolitan region is the nation's densest and one of two primary reasons why "we're seeing a person every six seconds contract COVID-19 here in Los Angeles County."
The three levels of care provided by hospitals: conventional, contingency, and crisis, were outlined in a letter sent to all hospitals. They must notify the state by Wednesday that they have adopted some version of crisis standards to ration care.
Hasty reopenings by counties and bad behavior are blamed for soaring infection growth in California. Hospital and ICU beds in Los Angeles County, which has more coronavirus cases than any county in the U.S., could reach capacity by mid-July.
Dr. Sara Cody, the Santa Clara County health officer widely credited for leading the Bay Area into issuing a 6-county shelter-in-place order on March 16, the nation's first, warns that the pace of reopening is too fast.
California was the first state to require all residents to submit to a stay-at-home order, and it appears that Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to ensure it's not the last one to relax that order, regardless of whether it meets the federal guidelines.

The influence of various structural parameters of semisynthetic sulfated polysaccharides on the P-selectin inhibitory capacity
|Published in||Biochemical pharmacology. 2006, vol. 72, no. 4, p. 474-485|
|Abstract||Selectin-mediated leukocyte rolling along the endothelium is of key importance for maintaining the cellular immune response. The anti-inflammatory activities of heparin have partly been related to inhibition of P-selectin binding. Heparin, however, suffers from its heterogeneous variable structure, the animal origin and multiple in vivo effects. As P-selectin is a promising target for anti-inflammatory approaches, we focused on P-selectin inhibition by other sulfated polysaccharides and compared them with six heparins. We examined 15 structurally defined semisynthetic sulfated glucans, non-animal-derived from the linear glucans phycarin, curdlan or pullulan. The derivatives gradually differ in their degree of sulfation, molecular weight, and glycosidic linkage. The inhibitory capacity was analysed in a parallel plate flow chamber, detecting the rolling of U937 cells on P-selectin layers. Unfractionated heparins displayed variabilities between different preparations. Considering fractionated heparins, exceeding of a minimal mass is essential for activity. Comparing the glucan sulfates, charge density is the most important parameter for P-selectin binding. Highly sulfated derivatives are excellent inhibitors, the reduced cell binding up to 16.2+/-6.4% strongly exceeded the heparin activities. Molecular weight is of minor effects, while glycosidic backbone linkage holds certain importance. To check the P-selectin inhibition in vivo, heparin and one phycarin sulfate were tested using intravital microscopy of microvasculature in mice. Both compounds significantly reduced the rolling fractions of activated platelets on endothelium as effective as a blocking P-selectin antibody. Our study indicates that semisynthetic glucan sulfates with optimal structures block P-selectin excellently and might become promising candidates for anti-inflammatory drugs to replace heparin for certain applications.|

Steppers are used to guide users through a sequential series of steps in order to complete a task like registration. Steps are typically numbered and content is broken into logical units. Don’t nest steppers, as in a stepper within a stepper.
This will confuse your users. You can allow your users to go back and change their selection or you can force them to start over. A linear stepper requires the steps be completed in a specific order. While a nonlinear stepper allows a user to bounce back and forth between steps. Also, some steps can be marked as optional.
Horizontal steppers are typical in desktop while mobile tends to use vertical steppers since there’s less real estate on the device. Let’s add a stepper to our application in the messages module. We’ll create a stepper that requires that the user enter an email address in step one and then the body of their message is step two.
We’ll experiment with linear and nonlinear and see how the performance changes. The first thing I’m going to do though is I’m going to create a new component ng generate component messages/message-new. This is going to be what we’re going to use to create our stepper.
From here, I’m going to go to the messages.module from command p and we have a bunch of things that we’re going to want to import here. So from the top, I’m going to have to add the forms module now. Because we’re going to be creating a form within our message stepper. So I’m going to import the Forms Module as well as the Reactive Forms Module on line three. From Angular forms and then moving down a little bit I’m going to go add some material stuff. So on line nine, I’m going to add a comment here for Material.
And I’m going to import the MatButtonModule from @angular/material/button. I’ll copy that three more times. And on line 11 we’re going to change this next one to the MatFormFieldModule and that comes from Material/form-field. On line 12, we’re going to change this one to MatInputModule, ’cause we’re going to have some inputs in our stepper and that comes from the input. And lastly on line 13 we’re going to go ahead and change the MatStepperModule here and this comes from the stepper.
Moving down, I’m going to go ahead and add a comma on line 18 and we’re going to add the FormsModule that we imported earlier as well as the ReactiveFormsModule and I’m going to go down after that comma put another note for Material here and let’s put our MatButtonModule our MatFormFieldModule, our MatInputModule and our MatStepperModule here as well. And now we have everything ready to update the UI.
Next, let’s add the routing instructions for our new component, I’ll command p and we’re going to go to the message routing module. And we’re going to need to import our new component that we created here, this is one thing we don’t get for free from the generate component. Import the MessageNewComponent from .message-new/message-new.component. And we’re going to copy this path from line seven to 10 I’ll put a comma on line 10, paste that and we’ll say that the path new now goes to the MessageNewComponent.
Third module’s imported, I can now command p and go to the message-new.component.html and you see I’ve got the text here that says message-new works, let’s go ahead and clear that out and we’re going to add the new mat-horizontal-stepper element here. And I’m going to say linear in a square bracket equals true for now and I’m going to use the id stepper on this component. But then here we’re going to add mat-steps so I’m going to add three steps. And then we’re going to put a control on that step so stepControl square bracket equals firstFormGroup and we’re going to add these to our component definition in a little bit and the next one we’re going to go ahead and say that the stepControl square brackets again equals secondFormGroup and we won’t put a control on our third one ’cause our third one was not going to do a whole lot.
But I do want to demonstrate one thing which is optional equals true, so we’ll put that optional flag on there just to see what that component actually does. Next, let’s go ahead and open up our mat-step on line two, our first one in here. And let’s put a form in here and I’m going to use the formGroup directive equals firstFormGroup. And I’m going to put an ng-template in here for the header and this is a matStepLabel and I’m going to say enter recipient info. And I’m going to go ahead and add a mat-form-field below this on line five, mat-form-field and we’ll put an input in here remember we imported the input module for Material so we’ll get good-looking imports placeholder equals email, formControlName equals emailCtrl and we’ll make it required just so we get the prettiness on there with the red stars and everything.
Okay, now let’s go to line 10 our second step. And we’re going to go ahead and put a form in here as well and this formGroup directive is going to point to secondFormGroup, same as above. Inside that form I want to put another form-field here as well and this is going to use the matInput directive as well with a placeholder this time called message, and our formControlName here is going to be messageCtrl and we’ll make this one required as well ’cause you can’t have an email without a message.
Next, we’re going to add some buttons here to move around, just to make it easy for our users. I’m going to go ahead and create a div for those buttons and we’ll create a button using the mat-icon-button directive and the matStepperPrevious which tells the stepper to move to the previous step since we know this is step two. And I’m going to put a mat-icon in here because I like icons more than words and we’ll use the arrow_back icon in here. Now I can copy this, I want to make another button this time to go forward and in here I’m going to go ahead and use the matStepperNext and I’m going to go ahead and change this icon instead of using arrow_back I’m going to use the send mail, so we’ll just use a mail_outline so it looks like a piece of mail.
And now that I’ve done that I’m going to copy this and let’s add a next step too on the one above. So back on line seven let’s put a div sibling to this and we’ll put a arrow in here that’s a stepperNext and that’s going to say arrow_forward. And I’m going to go ahead and format this command p, greater than format document. Want this to start cleaning up a little bit. And lastly let’s go down to the bottom mat-step optional equals true and I want to go ahead and put something in here as well so I’m just going to go ahead and put a message to the user so I’m going to add an ng-template matStepLabel we’ll call this one preview and I’ll put a p in here that says message sent.
And we’ll give them a couple more options here I’ll put a div in here and I’m going to copy from line 24 to 26, I just want to grab these two buttons I’m going to put two buttons in here as well. And I’m going to put one that says arrow_back. On line 35 and we’ll use the stepPrevious. And this last one here we’re going to make a reset so I’m going to go ahead and change this one instead of using matStepperNext I’m going to say on click, stepper.reset. And instead of using the mail icon here let’s go ahead and use the refresh which looks like a reset, at least it will for our purposes here.

Queen Elizabeth II died on September 8, 2022. Reigning for 70 years and 214 days, Elizabeth was the longest-serving British monarch, and had the longest verified reign of any female monarch in history. (Queen Victoria [1837 – 1901] was on the throne for a mere 63 years and 216 days.) Elizabeth II’s successor is her eldest son, Charles. Just shy of his 74th birthday and taking the regnal name Charles III, he is the oldest person ever to assume the British throne.
Faithful readers may remember my post entitled “Long Live the Queen!” which appeared back on March 18, 2017. I invite you to read, or re-read, that blog. It’s subject was how my hobby of coin collecting included commemorative issues that celebrated milestones in Elizabeth II’s long life. This is a brief update on that topic.
The photo below is a collage of the coins I amassed during the late Queen’s reign, along with one about the House of Windsor, and another issued soon after her husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh passed away, in 2021.
I was looking forward to obtaining an example of the first coin picturing King Charles III to be made available by the Royal Mint. Even though Charles’s coronation has yet to take place, the Mint released another commemorative celebrating Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse of the coin bears the dates of her birth and death, plus side-by-side images of her in her youth and her mature years.
The coin’s obverse shows Charles III’s official portrait. Something I hadn’t known was that it is the custom in Britain to show the former and successor monarch’s profiles in opposite directions. Thus, Elizabeth always faced to the right, while Charles will face left. (The coin above is an obvious exception to the practice.)
Charles III won’t be monarch for as long as was his mother. Still, one can still hope that a series of interesting coins illustrating the new king’s reign will be minted.
I hope you find this an interesting subject. Let me know what you think about it!

The Attorney General of Texas should be investigated by federal law enforcement for political corruption in office, according to his own aides.
"Top aides of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have asked federal law enforcement authorities to investigate allegations of improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other potential crimes against the state’s top lawyer," the Austin American-Statesman reported on Saturday.
"We have a good faith belief that the Attorney General is violating federal and/or state law, including prohibitions relating to improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other potential criminal offenses," the Oct. 1 letter states," KVUE-TV reports.
Paxton lashed out at the aides alleging misconduct.
"The complaint filed against General Paxton was done to impede on an ongoing investigation into criminal wrongdoing by public officials including employees of this office. Making false claims is a very serious matter and we plan to investigate this to the fullest extent of the law," Paxton's office said in a statement.

Although you can choose the type of sale (cash, layaway, charge) you are entering before you have typed in any of the sales detail, you can also change the type afterwards. This is useful if you started typing in the sale, but the customer decides that she can’t take the items with her at this moment and wants to put them on layaway. It’s also useful when you have already typed in the sale, but the customer decides to take a few more minutes before completing the purchase; in this case you can convert the sale to a layaway with no money down, then complete the sale later when the customer is ready by choosing Edit Sales from the Sales Menu.
You can use this feature when converting layaways to charge account sales, where the customer picks up the layaway item and puts the balance on account.
From the payment screen, move the cursor up to the SALE TYPE row and press <Enter> and you will see the Sale Type options in small box to the left:

Highlight the new sale type and press <Enter>.
If you choose Charge type and the customer does not already have an in-house charge account set up in the Jewelry Shopkeeper, you can open one, on-the-fly, by answering <Y> to the prompt below:
Do you want to open a charge account for this customer? No Yes <Esc>=Quit
If you change the Sale Type to Charge or Layaway type, the program will ask for a down-payment:
How much is this payment? 0.00
If you have typed in a cash sale, but you <Esc> out of the payment screen after entering only a partial payment (or no payment), the program will warn you with the following prompt:
Those numbers don’t add up.
Do you want to accept this amount anyway? No Yes <Esc>=Quit
If you accept just the partial amount, the customer should not be allowed to take the merchandise, so the Jewelry Shopkeeper automatically converts the sale to a layaway, and you will see the following message:
This sale is now a LAYAWAY. Keep the merchandise on the premises. Press Any Key
This procedure may be necessary if you have already typed in a sale, but the customer isn’t quite ready to leave, and you need to type in the next sale. You can go back later and choose Edit Sales from the Sales Menu to make any item or payment adjustments once the customer is ready.

Greens welcome extension of ban on Aravalli miningMay 8th, 2009 - 8:38 pm ICT by IANS
Chandigarh, May 8 (IANS) Conservationists and even Haryana’s environment minister Friday welcomed the Supreme Court decision to extend a ban on mining in the state’s Aravalli hills, one of the oldest mountain chains in India, saying it would check rampant ecological degradation.
“This verdict would be beneficial not only for Haryana but for the whole country. In fact, I myself was fighting against various individuals and authorities for the ban on mining,” Haryana’s Minister for Environment and Forests Kiran Chaudhary told IANS.
The Supreme Court Friday extended the ban on mining over a 450 sq km area of the Aravalli hills in the Gurgaon, Faridabad and Mewat districts of Haryana in view of “serious ecological degradation in the area”. Large-scale mining is believed to have dried up many lakes in the state, depleted the water table and affected grazing area.
An elated Kiran Chaudhary said: “We are steadfast about making Haryana the most eco-friendly state of the country.” She has been against the state’s mining mafia for a long time.
Parmod Sharma, coordinator of Yuvsatta, an NGO working for environment in the region, said: “Mindless mining at Aravalli hills has led to various ecological imbalances and dried up many famous water bodies of the area.”
“The water resources of the region are drying up rapidly and the green belts have also been converted into virtual deserts.”
Mining in the Aravalli hills had been going on for decades, largely due to political patronage from the powers that be in the state and central government. The northern end of the vast Aravalli ranges extends to Faridabad district in Haryana, around 300 km from here.
“Continuous mining in the Aravallis has caused a draught-like situation in the region and a sharp decline in the water table. Many beautiful lakes and water bodies have dried up and there is no grass left for the animals to graze on,” said Rohit Ruhella, an environmentalist.
“There were times when the famous lakes Badkal, Damdama and Dhauj were prominent tourist spots, but now they have dried up and nobody goes there. Even after the expiry of the mining lease, it was stealthily going on at Sirohi and Khori Jamalpur mines in the area,” said Ruhella.
Extending the ban on mining, first imposed in May 2002, the Supreme Court bench, which included Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, said it does not favour resuming mining of “major minerals” like silica, manganese and other metallic and non-metallic ores, available at a depth roughly below the water table in the area as that further depletes the water table.

Northern Trinidad is dominated by the east-west mountain range Northern Range, with peaks up to 940 meters above sea level. The hilly landscape of Tobago (Main Ridge) constitutes a continuation of this mountain range. By the way, the island of Trinidad is mainly lowland, with swamps and alluvial plains along the coast; along the north and east coast beautiful beaches. To the southwest lies the great asphalt lake Pitch Lake.

The climate is tropical with small temperature variations; The capital Port of Spain has average values of 25.6 ° C in January, 26.1 ° C in July and 1630 mm of rainfall. The least precipitation (about 10%) falls during the period January-May during the northeast pass, the most humid is July-October with northern movement of the equatorial rain belt. The islands are located on the southern outskirts of the regular hurricane paths, and are therefore relatively rarely affected by hurricane destruction.
Detailed climate information about Trinidad and Tobago on the World Meteorological Organization’s websites.
Plant life in Trinidad and Tobago
Tropical rainforest covers approx. one third of the islands, it is most fertile in the upland areas where there are many species of trees with magnificent flowers. Along the coast there is mangrove forest.
Wildlife in Trinidad and Tobago
Animal geographically, Trinidad and Tobago are more closely related to the South American mainland than to the Antilles. The mammalian fauna is richer and significantly more diverse (100 species) than on other islands in the Caribbean. Many bats, rodents and dwarf cave are common. For larger animals include hvitpannekapusiner, nibåndbeltedyr, sørtamandua (anteater) ozelot, collars peccary and a spear deer.
450 bird species have been observed. In the wetlands there are realms, ducks, flamingos, herons and ibises. The islands have two national birds: red bib in Trinidad and the chicken bird ilanoshokko in Tobago. Tinamus, macaws and amazon parrots, pigeons, cuckoos, hummingbirds (17 species), manacins and tyrants are common. The birds of paradise on Tobago are introduced from New Guinea.
The reptile fauna includes more than 90 species, including boas and the poisonous lance and coral snakes. At least 30 amphibian species have been found on the islands.

– 73 year old Gotabaya is a former army officer. He trained in jungle warfare in Assam
Colombo: Gotabaya Rajapaksa was once called a war hero in Sri Lanka. He is credited with eliminating the extremist group Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Litto) and bringing an end to the nearly 30-year-old civil war. Gotabaya, who was once regarded as a bully by the people, is now the victim of public anger. Gotabaya, the 73-year-old younger brother of President Mahinda Rajapaksa, is an ex-army officer who trained at the Count Emergency and Jungle Warfare School in the jungles of Assam in 1980.
Gotabaya had given his resignation letter because he was accused of ruining the country’s economy. The public stormed against him, and even occupied his official residence.
Sri Lanka is facing the most serious economic crisis since independence in 1948. Its foreign exchange reserves are almost depleted. It cannot afford to pay for food or fuel imports. So the prices of all things are increasing. Inflation has gone out of hand. The President made Rajiv Vikram Singh Prime Minister and tried to overcome the crisis for a few weeks but failed. He left the country on Saturday and reached the Maldives as riots spread across the country. From there he went to Singapore from where he sent his resignation.
Buddhist majority in Sri Lanka LTTE leader V. After Prabhakar’s death in 2009, the civil war ended.
However, he was also accused of violating human rights. He survived a suicide attack in 2006.
Such Gotabaya cost the friendship of China dearly. China started investing in its infrastructure. Observers say that it was because of Mahinda that the country got trapped in China’s debt trap. Unable to pay the debt, he had to give a 99-year lease of the Hamban-Toti port to China.
In fact, this island nation, located almost centrally in the Indian Ocean, has been historically important. Through it, China is increasing its influence in the Indian Ocean.

Consciousness and Cognition 20 (3):556-567 (2011)
AbstractUsing an explicit task cuing paradigm, we tested whether masked cues can trigger task-set activation, which would suggest that unconsciously presented stimuli can impact cognitive control processes. Based on a critical assessment of previous findings on the priming of task-set activation, we present two experiments with a new method to approach this subject. Instead of using a prime, we varied the visibility of the cue. These cues either directly signaled particular tasks in Experiment 1, or certain task transitions in Experiment 2. While both masked task and transition cues affected task choice, only task cues affected the speed of task performance. This observation suggests that task-specific stimulus–response rules can be activated only by masked cues that are uniquely associated with a particular task. Taken together, these results demonstrate that unconsciously presented stimuli have the power to activate corresponding task sets

This paper examines the effect of spatial soil variability, modeled as a twodimensional (2-D) random field, on the computed probability of basal-heave failure in a braced excavation in clay. The random field modeling (RFM) of clay is realized using a framework that combines Cholesky decomposition method and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). Considering that the horizontal and vertical scales of fluctuation are generally unequal for clay, various combinations of the horizontal and vertical scales of fluctuation are examined within this framework. The effect of 2-D RFM of undrained shear strength of clay in a braced excavation is demonstrated with a case study that focuses on a simple probability-based design. The results show that negligence of the 2-D spatial random effect could yield a basal-heave design that is unduly over-conservative: at an acceptable or target failure probability level, the required factor of safety in a limit equilibrium analysis is unreasonably high.

VitalTrax has launched Wing, its clinical trials electronic network that gives patients, caregivers and physicians a streamlined experience for finding and enrolling in clinical trials.
Wing, which can be accessed at PatientWing.com, also offers clinical trials sponsors and provider research sites the ability to publish and promote their trials for increased visibility. Research sites are provided with tools to interact with and enroll patients. By addressing the unique needs of the entire clinical trials ecosystem – patients, caregivers, research sites and sponsors – Wing creates a seamless clinical trials network that facilitates enrollment and participation of patients in clinical trials, VitalTrax said.
“Wing meets a critical need for patients – to find and enroll in clinical trials – efficiently,” said Zikria Syed, co-founder and CEO of VitalTrax. “This is a desperately unmet need in the industry and we’re looking to bridge the divide. Think of the democratization OpenTable brings to the restaurant industry – that’s what we are doing for clinical trials.”
The VitalTrax team, which received funding as part of the Digital Health Seed Fund, a collaborative agreement between Safeguard Scientifics, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Independence Health Group, collectively has decades of experience building secure and compliant healthcare systems.
Wing complies with HIPAA and FDA regulations to ensure a patient’s data is secure and shared with only the healthcare providers they choose, VitalTrax said.
“Finding a clinical trial in Wing is simple and effective,” said T.J. Sharpe, a cancer survivor and patient advocate who serves on the advisory board for VitalTrax. “It helps to manage the application process, which can be stressful and arduous for patients. It meets a critical need for patients today who are looking for a clinical trial that may be the right treatment for them.”

EMERGENCY services are warning Gippslanders to adhere to Fire Danger Period alerts and prepare properties for the hot months ahead to avoid another catastrophic fire season.
During the 2019-2020 bushfire season, which was unprecedented in its ferocity and devastation, bushfires ravaged Gippsland for months, mostly in East Gippsland, but some encroaching perilously into the Wellington Shire.
With Australia’s climate now under the influence of La Nina, authorities warn the fire risk for the coming summer is still high, with grass and crop fires the main concern as the significant spring growth dries out in the warmer weather.
Fire restrictions across all Gippsland municipalities will begin 1am on Monday, December 14.
The Fire Danger Period will continue until May 1 unless stated otherwise by the Country Fire Authority and Forest Fire Management Victoria.
CFA south-east assistant chief officer Trevor Owen reminded people that during the declared Fire Danger Period, fires cannot be lit in the open air without a written permit from the CFA or a municipal fire prevention officer.
“Fire Danger Periods are based on local conditions and take into account fuel moisture, fuel loads, grassland curing, weather and rainfall,” he said.
“This fire season’s outlook and current conditions indicate that this summer has the potential to be a grassfire-dominated season, with average rainfall seeing significant grass growth across many parts of the region.
“This may mean shorter-duration fires in grassed areas and dry forests during hotter and windier days.
“While CFA and our partner agencies Fire Rescue Victoria and Forest Fire Management Victoria are doing everything we can to prepare for the bushfire season, we look to the community to use common sense and take responsibility for preventing fires.
“There is still a short window of opportunity to clean up your property if you haven’t already done so, but people need to be aware that if using fire to clean up properties they need to register these through the Fire Permits Victoria website or by calling 1800 668 511.”
FFMVic acting deputy chief officer Kelly Rash said despite the rain in past months, forest fuels could still be dry.
“It may not take much of a spark from a burn-off or an unattended campfire to start a bushfire,” she said.
“CFA and FFMVic crews had a huge season last summer and we want to do everything we can to minimise the risk of another this summer.
“All fire services are well-prepared to respond to the threat of bushfire with 250 firefighters, new equipment and infrastructure, and an aircraft fleet based at Bairnsdale, Latrobe Valley, Heyfield and Benambra, all ready to go.
“Prepare your property, prepare yourself and prepare your family for fire. Have a fire plan in place and most importantly, practise it.”
CFA acting chief officer Alen Slijepcevic said as one of the world’s most bushfire-prone areas, even a normal fire season in Victoria presented a high risk to communities.
“We urge all Victorians in high-risk areas to prepare their properties and take particular care while using harvesting and other machinery,” he said.
“Grass fires travel faster than you can run, and they jump highways, so you need to activate your fire plan on those high-risk days before a fire starts.”
The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook indicated Victoria would have a “normal” fire season in 2020-21, however predicted spring rainfall was likely to have an effect on fire potential in the lead up to and during summer.
With the outlook for summer continuing to indicate above-average rainfall across Victoria because of the influence of La Nia, it is likely this soil moisture will persist in many areas and lead to average fire potential across the state, with the exception of the far north-east.
Bushfire risk in the eastern parts of the state, particularly in already burnt areas, has reduced, lessening the risk of prolonged fires.
Some of Wellington Shire’s more fire prone areas have had a good dowsing of rain this year.
Below average rainfall has fallen at Dargo over spring, with 173.1mm falling from September to November, instead of the average of 215.5mm.
However, the former gold rush town of about 100 people had heavy falls in January, February and July, tipping over above average annual rainfall at the end of November, clocking up 727.7mm.
Briagolong has had a welcome 786.5mm fall to the end of November, 137.4mm above average for the year, while an astonishing 1835.6mm has fallen so far at Mt Useful, just west of Licola, nearly doubling its average of 976.4mm.
On January 3 last year, a fire raged through Holey Plains State Park near Rosedale, burning 12,500 hectares over several months.
By February, two houses and three huts were destroyed in Walhalla, after a bushfire, sparked by lightning between Cowwarr and Walhalla, created its own weather pattern and grew from 400 hectares to 8500 hectares in an afternoon.
Another out of control bushfire two kilometres east of Licola and 9km north-west of Valencia Creek burned through more than 80,000 hectares, putting Licola under ember attack and threatening Valencia Creek, before it was declared under control on March 29.
The Mt Darling-Cynthia Range Track fire, about 20 kilometres north-west of Dargo, also eventually burned more than 29,800 hectares.
Early this year, Australia had its worst bushfires on record, with 320,000 hectares of east Gippsland burnt by a fire that raged uncontained for 91 days, threatening multiple communities, destroying houses and sheds, killing two residents, three Forest Fire Management Victoria employees and millions of animals.

The European Council, the body that sets the political agenda of the European Union (EU), agreed on a proposal to limit the entry and trade of commodities where production has contributed to “deforestation or forest degradation” worldwide.
The agreement sets rules for operators who work with palm oil, beef, wood, coffee, cocoa, and soybeans, as well as certain derivatives such as leather, chocolate, and furniture.
“We must ensure that the products we consume in Europe do not contribute to the depletion of the planet’s forests. The innovative text we have adopted will make it possible to fight deforestation in the EU and outside it. This is a big step forward that illustrates our ambitions towards the climate and biodiversity,” said French Minister for Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher.
According to the European Council, EU political leaders also agreed to “simplify and clarify” the environmental due diligence system that governs commodity market activity. A comparative assessment system was also adopted, classifying the risk of deforestation for specific productions into three levels.
Other measures agreed on were regarding EU emissions trading system, emissions and removals from land use, land-use change, and forestry, the creation of a social climate fund (SCF) and new CO2 emission performance standards for cars and vans.
Among the most eye-catching measures are the addition of maritime shipping in the EU emissions trading system (ETS), the creation of a new, separate emissions trading system for the buildings and road transport sectors, the allocated €59 billion for the SCF, the overall objective to remove 310 million tons of CO2 equivalent by improving land and forestry use, and the end of the sale of combustion-engine cars by 2035.
Frans Timmermans, the Commission's Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal, told reporters that it is a very good day for the European Green Deal, and a very good day for the European Union.
