In the 99 years since it was founded to pump the oil fields of Patagonia, Argentine energy driller YPF SA has been whipsawed by countless booms and busts. If global oil markets weren’t collapsing, it seemed, then Argentina was mired in a debt crisis that was wreaking havoc on the whole nation’s finances. Never, though, had the company been pushed into a large-scale default of any kind, Bloomberg News reported. Until, it would appear, now. Word of this came in an odd way: Officials at state-run YPF sent a press release laying out a plan to saddle creditors with losses in a debt exchange.
Shunned in global financial markets, Argentina is seeking about US$5 billion for next year from multilateral organisations other than the International Monetary Fund as it negotiates a larger refinancing programme with the Washington-based lender, according to three people familiar with the plans, the Buenos Aires Times reported. Alberto Fernández’s administration is looking to institutions including the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank, said the people, who asked not to be named because discussions are private.
Argentina’s Peronist government has had a wild ride in its first year of government: a sovereign default, mammoth debt restructurings, sliding reserves, a currency crisis and a weak economy battered by COVID-19, Reuters reported. There have been wins and losses since taking office in December last year. Debt deals were struck that allowed the government to revamp some $110 billion in foreign currency bonds and push repayments well into the future. Crunch talks with the International Monetary Fund remain positive.
Holders of Argentina’s $15bn in provincial debt are growing nervous that pressure from the national government is behind “arbitrary” demands for debt restructurings, threatening investors with big losses, the Financial Times reported. After the successful restructuring of $65bn in sovereign debt with foreign creditors in August, Argentina’s leftist government is now locked in talks with the IMF to renegotiate the repayment of $44bn lent since a currency crisis in 2018. Foreign creditors to Argentina’s provinces are next in line.
Argentina’s Buenos Aires province has extended an already-delayed deadline to Jan. 4 for bondholders to agree a deal to restructure some $7 billion in foreign debt, the local government said in a statement late on Monday, Reuters reported. The extension comes as the latest deadline came and went on Friday without an agreement with its creditors. “The Ministry of Finance will continue to dialogue in good faith with external private creditors,” the district said in the statement announcing the extension on its website.
Negotiations between the International Monetary Fund and Argentina over a new IMF loan program are “very fluid and constructive,” with Argentine officials expected to come to Washington in the coming days for more talks, IMF spokesman Gerry Rice said on Thursday, Reuters reported. Rice told a regular news briefing that a recent IMF staff mission to Buenos Aires, made “good progress” in defining the initial elements of Argentina’s economic reform plans.
Argentine officials will travel to the United States on Thursday to meet with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as the country renegotiates already-disbursed loans of about $44 billion, a government source told Reuters on Wednesday, Reuters reported. The fund said at the end of November that it had begun to outline, together with Argentina, a new program to help the government face the country’s profound economic and social challenges, which have been aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Argentina’s Chubut Province said on Saturday it had struck a debt deal in principle with a majority of its creditors after a successful sovereign debt restructuring earlier this year opened the door for local governments to resolve their regional crises, Reuters reported. Chubut and its bondholders will restructure $680 million in bonds originally set to mature in 2026, exchanging them for bonds due in July 2030, the province said in a statement.
Argentina hiked interest rates on Thursday after monthly inflation accelerated to the highest level this year, a move aimed at bolstering peso savings and reining in prices amid a wider economic crisis, Reuters reported. The central bank raised the benchmark Leliq rate to 38% from 36% previously after the country’s statistics agency had revealed October inflation speeding up to 3.8% and rolling 12-month inflation had been clocked at 37.2% in the month. The central bank also raised overnight and 7-day reverse repo rates.
Argentina’s international creditors, scarred by this year’s turbulent debt restructuring, want the new International Monetary Fund programme the country is seeking to come with ultra-rigorous conditions, Reuters reported. Argentina and its provinces restructured $100 billion of debt two months ago, but the country’s bonds have lost nearly 30% since their relaunch as worries about the government’s economic strategy have persisted. On Monday Economy Minister Martin Guzman, who led the restructuring for Latin America’s No.

Rio Ferdinand has described reported Liverpool transfer target Jude Bellingham as a ‘beast’ and discussed how the 19-year-old compares to Reds legend Steven Gerrard.
The Borussia Dortmund star is one of hottest prospects in European football at the moment and if a report by Football Insider is to be believed, Jurgen Klopp has made the England international the club’s ‘top target’.
The Merseysiders are believed to be interested in signing a new midfielder either in January or at the end of the season and with the former Birmingham City star netting a wonderful solo goal against Sevilla in the Champions League earlier this week, Ferdinand has been speaking about the teenager.
“What he’s doing in his position at his age, we haven’t seen,” the pundit told BT Sport (via Liverpool Echo). “The best of our generation, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, them guys…Viera, Roy Keane, they weren’t doing this.
“He still has to go on and prove it over a long period of time but they were not doing what he is doing right now, influencing games at this level, captaining a team at this level, he is the full package. Mentally, this kid’s a beast, no doubts about him.”
Bellingham was named as skipper for the Bundesliga outfit in Seville and his maturity shines through every time he steps out onto the pitch.
It’s clear that he is a natural leader and if the Englishman was to make the switch to Anfield he appears to have the ability to help ensure Liverpool continue to compete for football’s biggest honours both at home and in Europe.

Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Bellingham’s price tag will be ‘crazy’ and ‘really huge’ if he decides to leave Germany in the summer but when you consider that the midfielder has over a decade of promising years ahead of him, any deal would appear to be financially viable.
The Dortmund No. 22 has already scored four goals and registered two assists in 12 appearances this season (across all competitions) and is almost guaranteed to be named in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Qatar World Cup next month.
It’s certainly going to be a busy summer for Bellingham but he will be eager to remain focussed on his football and performing as well as possible.
It’s clear that we will be one of the many parties interested in his signature but we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

Effect of Covid in children not clear, say doctors
Hyderabad: The effect of Covid on children is still relatively
unknown because not many children were affected in the previous waves, said paediatricians while advising parents to continue to take necessary precautions.
While children have rarely been affected in the past few months, infections during previous waves have demonstrated that Covid is often milder in children than in adults, except in rare cases where they have suffered severe infections due to an underlying condition or other factors.
Professor and HOD, Paediatric Department, Niloufer Hospital, Dr T. Usha Rani stated that infections in children were fewer and mild during the first Covid wave. However, the hospital received about 100 children each during the first and second waves of children contracting pneumonia with Covid, because they had some underlying problem such as heart disease or cancer.
Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a paediatrician, claimed that during the previous waves, relatively few children were affected by a rare but serious condition known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), which causes inflammation of organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain. It was caused about 2-6 weeks after the Covid infection due to antibodies produced by the body during Covid. These rare cases were not seen in infections caused by Omicron variants.
Dr. Santosh believes that requiring children to wear masks at school would help, but that the best way to prevent infections is to not send children with fever, cold, or cough to school. Children handled Covid far better than the elderly or individuals with chronic problems, she noted.
Only a few children who had contracted Covid required hospitalisation during the first wave, observed paediatrician Dr P. Avinash. He advised parents not to administer antibiotics to their children without first consulting a doctor, as this leads to antibiotic resistance, which impedes treatment.

Special Issue Editor(s)
Special Issue Information
Obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary artery disease, Alzheimer’s disease, aging, atherosclerosis, nephritis, myocarditis, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and several other conditions including but not limited to microbial infections, post-surgery, COVID-19, ARDS, and sepsis are considered inflammatory conditions. Most of these diseases are low-grade systemic inflammatory conditions, whereas sepsis, ARDS, and other similar conditions are considered acute inflammatory conditions. In all, there is a pivotal role for cytokines, free radicals, eicosanoids and macrophages, neutrophils, NK and T and B cells. Hence, understanding their role and actions may form a new approach in their diagnosis, prognosis, and improving the response to therapy. In this context, the critical positive and negative feedback control exerted by bioactive lipids is underappreciated. Deciphering the positive and negative feedback regulation among cytokines, free radicals, bioactive lipids, including but not limited to eicosanoids, is essential to understand the inflammatory process, its resolution and the restoration of homeostasis. The role of bioactive lipids in the regulation of the cGAS-STNG pathway and the inflammatory process seems to be of paramount importance in several inflammatory conditions and cancer. An improved understanding of this pathway could lead to development of new therapeutic strategies to prevent and manage not only inflammatory conditions, but also diseases of modern civilization such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cancer.

Hi, ladies i'm back um, to give you my thoughts and my opinions about the peruvian here this proving here that i order from queen here, products from aliexpress um from vendor named colin tan. I do have a video already posted on youtube about my initial thoughts. Um and review of the here so um, please, if you haven't, took taking a look at that you can go over and look at my initially my initial um packaging of the here again. This is from queen here product. This is peruvian lengths, 28. 226. 24. 20. 18, 16 and a 12 inch closure every bundle which is seven bundles, including this closure. It'S in my head. This here is very, very thick um, i'm just coming back from a christmas party, so uh, i said. Let me go ahead and do my review now, since i have my makeup on since i have my makeup on and my hair is curled and looking really good. Now, let me start by letting you know that i did excuse me. Ladies. Let me start by letting you know that i did sew this on to a three-fourth wig and i had the darndest time. Okay, i stayed up until three o'clock in the morning, tuesday, the tuesday before thanksgiving um and when i finished, sewing all the bundles plus the closure onto my hair onto my to my wig cap. It was too small, okay and, ladies for those that have done the three-fourths wigs, i'm sure that you have ran into this problem, because i've heard uh. Ladies having this problem on youtube, so i did run into the problem. So what i did the next day, which was wednesday, go back out to the beauty, supply store, get another wig cap and start it over again. Um and again, i ran into the same problem, i'm just like what am i doing wrong. I'M not sewing on the stitches, but what i think it is is just that every stitch i was pulling it talked like i would do if i was braiding if i was sewing here onto braids, so maybe the next time i try to do the three fourth Wig, i would not pull the threading so we'll see, but what i had to do was sew on another cap onto that, because i wasn't going to take it back down. It was three o'clock in the morning now. Excuse me five o'clock in the morning now wednesday thursday morning thanksgiving and i had to do something with my hair, because i took out my braids. If you saw my first um youtube about the hair, i had braids long braids. So i took that out sewn the wig cap, so do the three fourth wig messed that up did the three fourth wig again, so i was just listen. Ladies. You know i went through a whole lot, i'm not even gon na speak about anymore. I went through a whole lot, so, okay, i don't wear the hair every day because on a three-fourth wig - and i do put it on my mannequin head and as you see, she has tape on there, because i saw that when the ladies did that to try To not make the cap make the cat fit um. I don't think i have enough tape one here but again, when i try to attempt to do this again, i'm going to take the measurements of my head and then do the measurements of the head with the tape and then see how that works out. But i didn't have time to do it, so i got it done it's on top of my head. Okay, it's on top of my head, okay! So all right now, the hair i co-washed, the hair and the hair dried completely straight. I didn't have a problem with that, but for you ladies that's wanting some type of pattern. I suggest that you not get the peruvian but get the brazilian here from this vendor. I can't say for any other vendor from this vendor, i will say: get the brazilian from this vendor if you're wanting some type of curl pattern after the hair is wet. The reason why i say brazilian my closure is a brazilian closure. I thought initially that this was a proven closure, but this is a brazilian closure and when i co-washed the hair, this closure i mean had so much more volume. I'M talking about so much more. The curls were so thick and pretty oh, my gosh. It was gorgeous to the point that i i had to flat iron it i had if it was just so big on my hair and i love big hair. So if i'm telling you it was like, the curls was just ringlets, it was beautiful beautiful. So if the closure says anything for the brazilian hair that he carries, ladies, if that's what you're looking for a nice, thick, curl, beautiful, curl pattern, then i will say by the brazilian here from this vendor and i'm going to try and hopefully the same curl pattern. The lace closure has is the same curl pattern that the whiffs will have but we'll see. But, however, okay getting back to the peruvian, i bought 28 inches to 26 inches uh 124 inch one. I think i believe it may have been a 22 inch, no 24 inch, a 20 inch, 18 16 and a 12 inch closure um, i'm not sure, but i will put the information below um down below so. But if not, you can go to my original video, but i will put the information down below exactly what i have my hair, but all bundles and closure is in my hair. So it's pretty thick. Let me turn around it's pretty thick um. I don't know if you can see that okay, i think i should do this video standing up. Let you see how excuse my dogs mess my shitsu chanel, but you can see it 28 inches is like the middle of my butt. I curled the hair. I re-curled it again this morning, but the hair holds curls um, i'm not having any problem with shedding a lot of shedding. Ladies, don't ever believe that there is no shedding for any here. Okay, there's either a lot of shedding that's unbearable or just shedding up here. Every year's every year is gon na shed every year is gon na shed. Okay. Now you see me combing my hair. Now i have a couple of snags back here, but it comes right out and i don't know if you see it, but i have one strand of hair that came out, and you saw me calm this here again, i'm going to comb it and i have one Other strand that came out so the shedding is not unbearable. I have one or two strands i don't have any here like on my floors. Follow me around or anything like that. Overall, ladies, i am happy with this here. It was 400 well spent okay um. So i have it on the three fourth wig and then i glued my closure down. The closure is just so thick and pretty. I was even thinking about thinning this closure out a little bit, but i don't want to do that because i think i'm going to get this here sewn in onto my hair and not deal with the cap situation. I don't know i mean i like the cap because i can take it off and on and i can bring my own hair back to health. I can take care of my hair. I love that, but i'm really not the type of person that okay i take it off, take it on take it off, take it on it's too much maintenance like once i have a hairstyle. I want to wear the hairstyle, put it up in flexi rods. Put my silk bonnet on, go to bed, wake up, take them off and just keep it moving. I don't want to have to every morning put my cap on glue down my my lace. Closure. Do my makeup. Oh my face about makeup. I used my bh a hundred and most upside down for you guys, um 120 color palette from vh from my eyes. I used my mac, lipstick and that is color. I think it's angel yes angel. I don't know if you can see my makeup and i have some gold on my lids, and this is mac as well, but the bottom of it, the color, the name. The word the name is rubbed off, so this is the color um anyway, so yeah. Ladies, i'm just i'm really happy with this here. I'M really happy detangling, no problem um. I might get a couple of snags, but it's not a big issue. Remember this is 28 inches of hair, and this is seven bundles of hair. I have in my head plus a closure, so snags is not anything that i would not expect to be going on, but just the handling of the hair, the hair is perfect. I i love the vendor. Again, it was um queen's hair product colin tan is the vendor. It'S the owner, the name of the own own, the vendor's name. Oh i'm! Sorry, ladies again, like i said, i went to a christmas party and you already know how that is, but that's the vendor's name, colin tan and queen here product is the name of his store. I will have the information down below um, but please take a look at my initial review, so you can see how the hair came. I wish i had pictures of how the hair was was straight, but the hair when wet dried straight, but once i applied it, which was a funny thing once i applied it to the 3 4 wig and it was dry completely. It didn't have a wave sort of thing, but it did have some type of body, a head body. Didn'T it did it wasn't just straight like straight it had some sort of bend. I don't want to say it was occur. I don't want to give you an impression that had like an s, type curl or a deep wave type curl it. It just had like a wave, a nice big wave, a natural, big wave and also what i want to add. Ladies, this here is really really light. Um i said in my first video: it is darker than a 2b but lighter than a four, but as i was wearing it out in the sun, it looks like it almost got. Even lighter it's almost at a just a tad a bit darker than what you would call a four, but this is very light here. You can't see it on camera, but the hair is really light. I'M gon na also highlight bleach this hair and do some highlights to it. Eventually, i want to wear it as natural as i can for as long as i can stand it and then put some highlights in it. But again you see how nice and thick this i mean. This is wonderful. This is wonderful, ladies and the more you play with it.

Protective effects of bioconjugates of curcumin with nicotinic and picolinic acids on markers of oxidative stress in human erythrocytes
Poor bioavailability and instability beyond the natural pH limit the use of curcumin as a promising drug despite its diverse health promoting effects. With a view to address these issues, the bioconjugates of curcumin with nicotinic acid (di-O-nicotinoyl curcumin) and picolinic acid (di-O-picolinoyl curcumin) were synthesized and their effect on markers of oxidative stress were studied. Results demonstrate that both the bioconjugates elicited higher prevention against oxidative injury induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide in human erythrocytes in comparison to pure curcumin as evidenced by inhibition of lipid peroxidation (p < 0.01), prevention of hemolysis (p < 0.001), restoration of glutathione (p < 0.005), and -SH groups (p < 0.005) depletion. The study concludes that conjugated curcumin derivatives may be a potential approach to design compounds with improved biological effects and thus enhanced efficacy.

I'm excited to be part of the blog book tour for S.G. Rogers' YA Fantasy novel, Tournament of Chance. This adventure story features a medieval setting, magic, coming of age, reluctant heroism, a main female character, and more!
I like that the hero is female, and an archer, and that she has many male friends (but when walking into a room with men, she doesn't jump into romantic what-ifs or sexual tension). It felt very natural and real as any woman's life would be, especially in that setting.
I did feel the pacing was a little too fast- I wanted it to slow down so I could enjoy a deeper level to the court intrigue. I prefer villains that are shades of grey, instead of outright mean for the sake of being mean, which is less believable to me. But for a middle grade novel, I suppose a fly-by explanation of the setting's politics is all that is expected.
Given the pacing and the fact that everyone just accepted things at face value (despite personal risks or a lifetime of belief), this felt to me more like a TV min-series or anime than a novel. I think it would translate well (I'm imagining a sort of Sinbad meets Xena thing).
It's definitely an ensemble cast journey, which has a certain appeal in the amount of possibilities it possesses. And despite my personal frustrations with the depth of it, it's a fun and quick adventure of a read.
I recommend it for middle-grade readers who are fans of sword-and-sorcery series!
In addition to the great giveaway (see below), S.G. Rogers kindly provided me with her top ten list of Kick-Butt TV and Film Heroines (showing that she clearly has great taste). Enjoy!
Top Ten Kick-Butt TV/Film Heroines by S.G. Rogers
For me, the perfect kick-butt heroine has to have the right
mix of looks, attitude, and ability.
She must excite my admiration to be memorable, and more than anything be
the kind of person I can relate to.
When an otherwise great character crosses into cartoon-character invincibility,
my interest level drops off. Many
of the women on my list aren’t traditional model-types, either, which is an
extra plus in my opinion.
1) Nikita (Peta Wilson) in TV series La Femme Nikita (1997)
yet lethal, this super-secret spy was also vulnerable and approachable. Every
episode brought an awesome new wardrobe, and a new opportunity to root for
Nikita’s relationship with the inscrutable Michael (Roy Dupuis). Nikita had a
job to do, did it well, and looked fabulous doing it;
2) Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff ) in Battlestar Galactica TV miniseries
most deadly pilot in the firmament, Starbuck could fraternize with the men as
well as seduce them. I loved her no-nonsense tomboy demeanor, but I was
mesmerized by her interplay with the delectable Apollo (Jamie Bamber);
3) Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) Lethal Weapon 3 (1992)
jaw dropped when Lorna kick-boxed the bad guys in that film, and I laughed with
delight when she compared her scars with Riggs (Mel Gibson). Yes, she’s impossibly
gorgeous, but Rene was nearing 40 when she made Lethal Weapon 3;
4) Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Connor was focused and motivated, the ultimate protective mother taken to an
extreme. Talk about pushing back against the traditional view of beauty, Linda
opened my eyes to a whole other level of cool;
5) Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) in Matrix (1999)
unconventional beauty, Trinity was the apex of cool. She seemingly had it all together, but her weakness was
Neo. I loved her fight scenes, and
she looked sleek and sexy in latex;
6) Nikita (Anne Parillaud) in Nikita (1990)
movie was far grittier than the television series, and the focus was on
Nikita’s struggle to be truly free of her brutal past. As Nikita, Anne Parillaud was
hopelessly chic and vulnerable, but when called on to perform an assassination
she was right on the money;
7) Buffy (Kristy Swanson) in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
fluffy cheerleader harnesses her hidden talents to off demons and vamps. I loved the humor in this movie, as
well as Buffy’s fight moves;
8) Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in Hunger
got on my list for her expertise in archery. Plus, I had to give her extra credit for being able to run
fast, climb trees, and twirl in a fiery prom dress;
9) Victoria (Helen Mirren) in RED (2010)
Victoria wants to go straight, but she simply can’t. So she takes the odd contract from time to time, just to
take the edge off. Victoria can be
your best friend, or your worst enemy.
And I adored the way Helen Mirren portrayed her as a sexy senior;
10) Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) in Conan the Barbarian (1982)
famous line was “Do you want to live forever?” Well… yes, I do. But I appreciated her zest for battle.
You’ve got to love a character that doesn’t shy away from adventure. She could swing a sword alongside
Conan, with a body that wouldn’t quit.
Many of the characters on my Top Ten list actually motivated
me to make changes in my life, such as taking up martial arts, weight lifting,
and running. Others provided a
little welcome escapism. But each
heroine was memorable in her own way.
Have I left out your personal favorite?
~ S.G. Rogers
Thanks to S.G. Rogers for a great list of kick-butt heroines (including several of my own favorites)! I love that these characters empowered and motivated you, and we should all aspire to personal kick-butt heroine status in our lives.

(Tim Pearce) A group of top Israeli researchers and physicians denounced Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday for repeatedly comparing a group of protesters in Ottawa to Nazis.
by Tim Pearce, February 18th, 2022
Nearly two dozen professors and experts wrote a letter to the prime minister on Friday, denouncing his comments toward the protesters and members of Canada’s opposition Conservative Party. The group also hit Trudeau over his refusal to lighten “draconian” COVID-19 restrictions in light of the protests. The letter says:
As many other countries since the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, Canadians have been subjected to draconian restrictions placed on their basic freedoms, such as lockdowns, forced quarantines, mask mandates, school closures and more recently, vaccine mandates.
Leaders all over the world have begun to realize that these measures carry enormous harms, with little or no benefit. Others double-down on their previous position, denying the evidence and aggravating the damage done to their nation’s livelihood and fundamental liberties.
In recent weeks, we have been following the news about the Freedom Convoy 2022 protests that have taken place in Canada in response to these measures. We witnessed, with mounting concern, how instead of a constructive dialogue with the protesters, you adopted a smear campaign portraying protesters as ‘Nazi sympathizers’, ‘racist’ and ‘antisemitic.’ The last incident was your allegation on February 16 that a Jewish member of the Conservative Party was “standing with people who wore Swastikas.”
We, an apolitical group of Jewish Israeli medical scientists, physicians, researchers, and legal scholars, some of us second or third generation Holocaust survivors, are deeply concerned by your attempt to stigmatize the Freedom Convoy 2022 protesters as Nazi ideology supporters. The important fight against antisemitism should not be weaponized and directed at a legitimate civil protest which aims at restoring fundamental liberties, to what used to be, until not long ago, one of the freest countries in the world.
Leading Israeli physicians and scientists in an open letter to @JustinTrudeau 🇨🇦:
“You adopted a smear campaign portraying protesters as 'Nazi sympathizers', 'racist' and 'antisemitic'. Freedom Convoy is a legitimate civil protest which aims at restoring fundamental liberties.” pic.twitter.com/kSjnbd86SV
— Dr. Eli David (@DrEliDavid) February 18, 2022
On Wednesday, Trudeau accused Conservative Party members of standing “with people who wave swastikas” while responding to criticism by Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman, who is Jewish.
“Mr. Speaker, Conservative Party members can stand with people who wave swastikas. They can stand with people who wave the Confederate flag. We will choose to stand with Canadians who deserve to be able to get to their jobs, to be able to get their lives back. These illegal protests need to stop and they will, Mr. Speaker,” Trudeau said after Lantsman questioned him over comments he made in 2015 about the need for government “to trust Canadians.”
Lantsman later demanded an apology from Trudeau. “I think the Prime Minister should think long and hard about his own history before singling out a Jewish Member of Parliament and falsely accusing me of standing with a Swastika. What a disgraceful statement unbecoming of anyone in public office – he owes me an apology,” she posted on Twitter.

Unseasonably warm weather plus the end of winter break for students combined to pack local outdoor ice rinks on Sunday.
Brian Buckley took his daughters, 7-year-old Ruby and 8-year-old Claire, to Longmont's Ice Pavilion for an afternoon of skating.
"It's one of our favorite rinks in Colorado," said Buckley, who lives in Boulder. "The open air, the park, it's beautiful. I grew up in Boston, where it's so cold. This is a treat. It feels like spring skating."
Those who prefer ice skating without the freezing temperatures are in luck this week, with high temperatures expected to stay around 50 degrees.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high near 50 today, though it comes with a high wind warning with wind gusts of up to 55 mph.
Tuesday is expected to be equally warm, though less windy. Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny with a high of 51, while it could get up to 55 by Thursday.
The large, covered Longmont rink uses refrigerant piped under the ice through 16 miles of tubing to keep it solidly frozen on warmer winter days.
While highs in the 50s, especially on sunny days, can make the ice a little soft by afternoon, it takes highs in the 70s for multiple days to cause problems, said ice coordinator Jean Scott.
"We can tolerate a few really warm days," she said. "We very rarely close for weather."
She said the rink shut down because it was too warm only about three times in the last 10 years. Blizzard conditions also close the rink — to skating, though not always to hockey practice.
"There aren't too many places you can lose a puck in a snow pile," she said.
While hockey players may be happy to play through an arctic blast, most recreational skater preferred Sunday's weather.
Noelle Abarelli, who lives in Longmont, took advantage of the warm day to bring her 9-year-old daughter, Ellis, to skate with friends for their first skate of the season.
"Our kids had so much fun, they want to come back tomorrow," she said.
Another popular local outdoor rink choice is WinterSkate, run by Boulder Creek Events for a 15th season in downtown Louisville.
Broomfield's Katy Harder brought her 5-year-old and 18-month-old to Winterskate, meeting her parents. Growing up in Minnesota, they've made outdoor skating with their grandchildren a tradition, Harder said.
"Cold, warm or whatever, it's so much nicer to skate outside," she said.
The Winter Skate rink uses a 100-ton chiller to keep the ice frozen, though Boulder Creek Events spokeswoman Meg Denbow said warmer temperatures are more challenging.
"We adjust our chiller accordingly, not too high or too low as cracks in the ice may appear," she said.
For natural rinks, ice skating enthusiasts can head to Lyons and Nederland.
The Lyons rink, tucked away in LaVern M. Johnson Park, is weather dependent without a chiller to maintain the ice and provides times for both hockey and open skate.
Nederland's large, natural rink is run by volunteers and offers hockey, recreational skating, skate lessons, curling, stick and puck and ice rentals.
What's not an option this year is outdoor skating in Boulder.
The Boulder ice rink, which was located near The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse at 1770 13th St., didn't open this winter.

Iran Still Developing Nuclear Technology, Pentagon Report Says
JNS.org – As the June 30 deadline for a final nuclear deal approaches, Iran is continuing to develop technologies that “could be applicable to nuclear weapons,” including ballistic missiles, according to a Pentagon assessment of Iran’s military capability revealed by Bloomberg News on Thursday.
The full report, including classified details, was written in January and submitted to Congress last week. It found that Iran’s “covert activities appear to be continuing unabated,” and that the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still plays a leading role in Iranian foreign policy, “particularly in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Yemen.”
Despite these findings, the unclassified summary of the report indicates that Iran has “fulfilled its obligations” as outlined in the interim nuclear agreement reached with the U.S. and world powers, and that it has “paused progress” in some parts of its nuclear program.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Wednesday that while he had not read the report, the scope of Iran’s potential nuclear military capabilities is an issue that “would need to be resolved” in the current negotiations. He added that even if the talks are successful, the U.S. would still have concerns about some of Iran’s activities.


Rolls Royce Cullinan shows off its taillights
By Marc Carter
10 May, 2018, 14:34
Why did we ever expect the Rolls-Royce Cullinan to look like anything other than a Phantom on a lift kit, minus the trunk? Getting in to the back is via typically Rolls-Royce rear-hinged coach doors that, like the front doors, clamp over the sills to prevent you getting dirty as you get in and out.
Powering the Cullinan is a completely reworked iteration of the 6.75-litre, twin-turbocharged V12, which produces 571hp and 850Nm of torque.
Named after a 3,106-carat jewel extracted from a South African mine in 1905, the Cullinan represents the first time Rolls-Royce has tried its hand at building an SUV, or as the company likes to put it, the first time it has built an "all-terrain, high-bodied car" that makes luxury travel "effortless, everywhere".
Finished in what seems to be a shade of red, the upcoming Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUV features a front inspired from the new Phantom, replete with the chrome finished grille with vertical slats, the signature Spirit of Ecstasy adorned above and laser headlamps.
Well, then. If a gang of modern art thieves-or Indiana Jones-needs a new SUV, the Cullinan awaits. The design, the brand claims, nods to an era in which occupants carried their luggage on the outside of the vehicle.
China vice premier to visit U.S. for more trade talks
China's communist leaders have countered by outlining $50 billion in USA goods that they would target with retaliatory duties. However, last week China said "big differences" remained between the two sides after the first round of talks.
Speaking of which, the feature we normally call a "tailgate" is called "the Clasp" on the Cullinan, a reference to when drivers put luggage on the outside of the vehicle.
The rear comes with either a folding bench seat or two separate pilot's chairs.
The automaker has long crowed about the Phantom's "magic carpet ride", but the Cullinan's self-leveling and electronically controlled air suspension goes one better when in Off-Road mode: An air compressor actively extends the struts to keep the wheels on the ground. Rolls-Royce can scale it to the size and weight requirements of its different models, so it can be used across the range, and says it is the reason Rolls-Royce cars deliver impeccable ride, acoustic, and seat comfort, exterior presence, interior space, and usability. They react to provide information the driver might need.
Behind the back thrones, the cargo floor normally sits lower than the tops of the rear seat cushions. The standard equipment includes night vision system, a four-camera view system with panoramic view, all-round visibility, and helicopter view, collision warning, cross-traffic warning, lane departure and lane change warnings, WiFi hotspot, and many more. It also has a wading depth of 540mm.
Previously, the manufacturer has shared images of the vehicle being put through its paces on challenging terrains ranging from the desert to snow tracks.

A team of undergraduate students at Florida International University’s Discovery Lab have built a remote controlled robot which allows disabled cops to get back on the streets.
The “Telebot” robot is 6 foot tall and and built entirely from scratch, it’s equipped with stereoscopic vision which can be viewed live through the Oculus Rift headset and limbs which can be controlled by wearable sensors. The plan for the robot is to allow disabled police and soldiers to return to street patrols via the bionic man.
The idea came from Jeremy Robins, a Lieutenant in the US Navy who donated $20,000 of his own money to enable his fellow veterans to get back in the workforce. Through this inspiration and funding the project took off. It’s currently still a prototype, with only a year and a half’s worth of work into it.

Avian infl uenza is a serious and easily transmitted disease caused by influenza A virus. It results in major losses worldwide to the poultry industry. During the last years, life-threatening zoonotic infections have been observed in humans and there is a danger that a derivative of the avian infl uenza virus might give origin to a new devastating human influenza A virus pandemic. Aquatic birds, waders and gulls are natural hosts of infl uenza A virus and may spread the virus effectively in their faeces. In this survey, 319 faecal samples from Finnish wild birds were collected for virus isolation in embryonated eggs in the summer of 2003. All samples were negative for infl uenza A virus. However, because of a small number of samples, it cannot be concluded that avian infl uenza would not occur in Finnish bird populations.
We present the principles of portfolio work and describe the specific features of a professional development portfolio as applied in the specialization training of veterinarians in small animal diseases, equine diseases and production medicine. Each specializing veterinarian follows her/his individual study path and consequently has to take responsibility for her/his progress. Through compiling a portfolio, the specialist trainee becomes aware of everyday practice, how she/he is progressing professionally, what she/he masters and what is still unfamiliar, and which are the challenges for further development. Well-defi ned instructions and supportive guidance facilitate the start of the portfolio work and the conscious refl ection on learning from practice. Support and feedback from the supervisors and peers are important to help the specialist trainee become an expert. At the end of the training, the specializing veterinarian can demonstrate what she/he has learned and what are her/his strengths.


What are the Advantages of Using Glass Bottles for Pharmaceuticals?
In the pharmaceutical industry, the choice of packaging material plays a crucial role in ensuring product integrity and safety. This article delves into the advantages of using glass bottles for pharmaceuticals, shedding light on why this age-old material remains unparalleled. From its inherent properties to environmental benefits, we explore the myriad reasons behind the industry's steadfast reliance on glass.
Advantages of Using Glass Bottles for Pharmaceutical Packaging
Glass: The Pinnacle of Pharmaceutical Packaging
Glass, a material synonymous with purity and transparency, stands tall as the epitome of pharmaceutical packaging excellence. Its chemical inertness ensures that drugs remain uncontaminated, maintaining their efficacy and safety.
Enhanced Stability and Shelf Life
One of the key advantages of utilizing glass bottles in pharmaceuticals is their ability to preserve the stability and shelf life of medications. Unlike plastics, glass prevents permeation, safeguarding the pharmaceutical composition from external elements that could compromise its quality.
Protection Against UV Rays
Glass offers an inherent advantage in protecting pharmaceuticals from harmful UV rays. This is particularly vital for light-sensitive medications, where the transparency of glass acts as a shield, preventing the degradation of the drugs due to exposure to sunlight.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions
Embracing glass bottles aligns with the growing global emphasis on sustainable practices. Glass is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality, making it an eco-friendly choice that reduces the carbon footprint associated with pharmaceutical packaging.
Versatility in Compatibility
Glass is renowned for its compatibility with a wide range of pharmaceutical formulations. It does not react with drugs, ensuring that the container itself does not introduce any substances that could alter the composition or effectiveness of the medication.
Impenetrable Barrier to Gases
Glass acts as an impervious barrier to gases, preventing the ingress of oxygen and other contaminants. This is paramount in preserving the integrity of pharmaceuticals that may undergo chemical changes when exposed to certain gases.
Reduced Risk of Leaching
Unlike some plastic counterparts, glass bottles eliminate the risk of leaching potentially harmful substances into pharmaceutical products. This is especially crucial in the context of medications where purity is paramount.
Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal
Beyond its functional attributes, glass exudes a sense of quality and authenticity. Pharmaceutical products housed in glass bottles often enjoy a perceived higher quality, contributing to a positive brand image.
Recyclability Leading to Cost-Efficiency
The recyclability of glass not only benefits the environment but also proves cost-effective for pharmaceutical manufacturers. The ease of recycling reduces the need for constant production of new glass packaging materials, contributing to a more sustainable and economical supply chain.
In the realm of pharmaceutical packaging, the advantages of using glass bottles are undeniable. From preserving the integrity of medications to contributing to a sustainable future, glass stands as a testament to both functionality and environmental responsibility. Embracing glass isn't just a choice; it's a commitment to quality, safety, and the well-being of our planet.

In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, F1 teams have had to cut costs. To aid teams in cost-cutting, new rules and regulations were passed by the FIA. One of the regulations was the budget cap which was decreased by $30 million from the initial figure of $175 million for 2021. Another one of the said regulations revolved around the freezing of car development beginning from the 2020 season. However, certain homologated parts can still be improved to a certain extent with the help of the ‘token system.’ Each team gets two tokens for a season and they can trade those tokens to develop certain car parts, provided the FIA approves it. F1’s managing director, Ross Brawn reveals how McLaren was the reason for their introduction and how all the teams can use them.
Ross Brawn was in conversation with Motorsport-Total.com. Brawn said, “The problem with freezing the technology was: there is a team that changes the drive partner- Mclaren. You can’t ignore that. So we had to find a system to make this change possible for McLaren.”
Furthermore, he said, “If you speak about a period of five years and outline a corresponding scenario, you can be very specific about it. But if you only have a few weeks in advance, you have to be flexible in the implementation. It could be that some teams have to improve their cars because there are mistakes. The token system gives us just as much leeway to solve such problems.”
He also provides an actual example of how the system can be implemented. He said, “A team has already reported to us that there is a cooling problem with the vehicle. They could not be (left) in this condition for two years.”
Thus that means that teams aren’t stuck with the exact same car for two years. Using the tokens they can implement some minor changes to improve their car. Ross Brawn says the bottom line is that it is a good compromise.

A man who evaded police by swimming across a South Island river could face charges and the loss of his firearms licence.
The 50-year-old man from Temuka, South Canterbury, gave police the slip after they tried to stop his car near Bruce Bay, south of the Fox Glacier, at about 1am yesterday morning.
The man stopped his car in a driveway and tried to avoid detection by switching the headlights off, but police spotted the brake lights.
The man left the keys in the ignition and ran from the car. He then dived into the nearby Jacobs River, swam to the other side and lay in hiding.
Police searched the area and called for the man to surrender with a loudhailer, but could not find him.
Police seized a loaded high-powered rifle, a .22 rifle and ammunition found in the car.
The man later contacted police.
He could face charges and have his firearms licence revoked, police said.
