If images of white dresses are dancing in your head, then you must have been recently engaged. Of course, many women have had an image of their wedding in their head since the time they were born, but will the real life live up to your dream?
Capturing a personality
Although it may seem that all wedding dresses are alike, there are many ways to capture individual styles. White may be the traditional wedding gown color, but more brides are choosing off-white or a light cream as an alternative. This can show your fashion consciousness, while still remaining true to the traditional coloring.
If youre a bit more vibrant and outgoing, you may want to do something daring at your wedding. This thought may be accentuated if you are looking to do a themed wedding as well. Try a different color altogether. Do something wild like red or purple. While they might not be the standards, they will definitely liven up a wedding photo.
And if youre looking for a theme for your wedding, you will want to study related dresses to the time period or culture. If youre looking for something that is renaissance inspired, then you may want to look in costume shops for styles...

Abstract: Considering the present scenario, in the hydrocarbon industries, heavy oil prices and need for explorations leads to decide the economy of the country. Technology had been identified and experimentally considered for new hydrocarbon exploration with the help of data mining. Besides, transportation and storage of the produced Hydrocarbon has been monitored and can be maintained in control limit using data mining too. Hydrocarbon can be stored within a tank made up of steel, iron or combination of suitable material. The tanks are properly designed, erected and all its fittings are secured. Proper construction and maintained will aid in preventing any leakage of petroleum products to the environment. Current study is about influence of hydrocarbon transportation and storage using available methodology in upstream hydrocarbon sectors. Petroleum reservoir consist of complex heterogeneities that are not limited to extract the hydrocarbon from the subsurface to surface. Post drilling, produced crude and gas will be transported fuel have to transported to refineries for further processing of crude into various products. Apart from upstream, persons working on midstream and downstream plays a crucial role. Crude hydrocarbon can be transported by vessels, pipelines and road. Pipeline and truck transportation are considered to be the prior most than other modes. Transporting oil and gas by pipeline or rail is in general quite safe. But when the safety of transporting oil and gas by pipelines and rail is compared, taking into consideration the amount of product moved, pipe-lines are found to be the much safer transportation method. Refinery has to ensure safety aspects of storing the received petroleum crude which has to be processed in to commercial products. They must be maintained in prescribed temperature and pressure condition. In order to make this successful, some of the safety protocols has to be followed which are defined and approved ministry and safety norms. This article deals about the process and procedures in transporting and storage of fuels from upstream, midstream and downstream. Hence, the protocols and other safety precaution aspects are discussed to have a safe storage and handling practices.
Keywords: Downstream, Hydrocarbon, Midstream, Safety, Transportation.

PlanGrid recently partnered with Sequoia Capital, and raised $18 million in Series A financing to help fuel the platform’s growth. The investment will allow PlanGrid to significantly increase its growth and provide more value to its customer base, according to Tracy Young, cofounder and CEO, PlanGrid.
The efficiencies are gained in many ways. Most construction teams carry around dozens of blueprints and other construction documents. These pages require manual replacement by hand each time a change is made, which can result in long delays and cost overruns.
Consolidation is key, and PlanGrid brings together all construction information onto a tablet or smartphone, which empowers engineers, contractors, field workers, and architects to collaborate and efficiently manage projects. Users can access and edit the latest drawings on-the-go and directly communicate with each other from anywhere, helping to ensure projects are built on schedule and under budget.
With the new funding, the company is poised to continue on this growth path, bringing to market a solution that represents the next generation of construction technology.

Earlier this week Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, released Canada’s 2023–2025 Immigration Levels Plan. The Government of Canada has set new targets in the levels plan of welcoming 465,000 permanent residents in 2023, 485,000 in 2024 and 500,000 in 2025. We’ll be reviewing the details of the plan and will provide updates in the coming weeks. For more information:
- New Release: An Immigration Plan to Grow the Economy
- Supplementary Information for the 2023-2025 Immigration Levels Plan
- 2022 Annual Report to Parliament on Immigration
- 2022 consultations on immigration levels – final report
- Infographic: Immigration: a path to a stronger Canada
It is important to note that the announced Levels Plan only tells half the story of arrivals to Canada, as temporary residents ranges are not included in the immigration targets.
The new Plan raises some questions for longer-term planning purposes within the immigration sector. For example, should future three-year immigration plans include temporary resident ranges for each category? From Jan 1 to Aug 30, 2022, there were 97,740 Temporary Foreign Workers, 72,955 International Mobility Work permits, and 452,000 International Student Visa’s issued – a total of 622,695 individuals. These newcomers, some of which will convert their status to Permanent Residency, are invisible in this plan.
Within the context of British Columbia, should the BC Government develop its own multi-year immigration plan to help prepare for future infrastructure and service needs? One that highlights projected Permanent Resident and Temporary Resident arrival flows and settlement patterns based on historical context? It is clear BC remains a popular destination for immigration. In 2021, BC had the 2nd highest international migration rate on record with over 67,000 new arrivals.
Regardless of these new immigration targets, ISSofBC will continue to serve immigrants and refugees find jobs, housing and develop language skills through its broader range of programs and policies so that Canada and BC remains a welcoming place for all newcomers.

If you're planning on taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), it's important to have the right mindset going into your prep and testing. The MCAT is a challenging exam that requires a lot of dedication and preparation. But with the right attitude and approach, you can set yourself up for success. In this article, we'll break down everything you need to know about preparing for the MCAT, from setting realistic goals to understanding the scoring system. Let's get started.
Breaking Down the MCAT: What You Need to Know
The MCAT is designed to test your knowledge and skills in a variety of areas, including biology, chemistry, physics, and psychology. It consists of four sections: Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems, Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills, Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems, and Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior. Each section consists of multiple-choice questions and is timed separately, with a total testing time of 7 hours and 30 minutes. Understanding the format of the exam is the first step in developing a successful study plan.
It is important to note that the MCAT is a computer-based exam, which means that you will need to be comfortable with using a computer to take the test. Additionally, the exam is adaptive, meaning that the difficulty of the questions will adjust based on your performance. This can be both a blessing and a curse, as it allows you to showcase your strengths, but also means that you may encounter more difficult questions if you are performing well.
Preparing for the MCAT can be a daunting task, but there are many resources available to help you succeed. Consider enrolling in a test prep course, utilizing study guides and practice exams, and forming a study group with other aspiring medical students. With dedication and hard work, you can conquer the MCAT and take the first step towards your dream of becoming a doctor.
Setting Realistic Goals for Your MCAT Prep
When it comes to MCAT prep, it's important to set realistic goals for yourself. Don't try to cram all of your studying into a short period of time, as this can lead to burnout and poor performance on the exam. Instead, set a schedule for yourself that allows for plenty of study time leading up to the exam. This will also give you plenty of opportunities to take practice tests and assess your progress.
Another important aspect of setting realistic goals for your MCAT prep is to prioritize your study materials. It's easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information you need to learn, but focusing on the most important topics and concepts can help you make the most of your study time. Consider using study guides or working with a tutor to help you identify the most important information to focus on.
Finally, it's important to take care of yourself during your MCAT prep. This means getting enough sleep, eating well, and taking breaks when you need them. It's easy to get caught up in the pressure of studying for such an important exam, but taking care of your physical and mental health can actually improve your performance on test day.
Creating a Study Schedule That Works for You
Everyone has a different learning style, so it's important to create a study schedule that works for you. This might involve breaking up your studying into shorter sessions throughout the day, or dedicating a few longer blocks of time each week to more intensive studying. Finding a schedule that works for you is key to staying motivated and on-track during the MCAT prep process.
One helpful tip for creating a study schedule is to prioritize your study materials based on your strengths and weaknesses. Spend more time on topics that you struggle with, and allocate less time to topics that you already understand well. This will help you make the most of your study time and improve your overall performance on the MCAT.
Another important factor to consider when creating a study schedule is your personal schedule and commitments. Make sure to factor in time for work, family, and other obligations, and be realistic about how much time you can realistically dedicate to studying each day or week. Remember, it's better to have a consistent and manageable study schedule than to try to cram in too much studying at once and risk burning out.
The Importance of Practice Tests and How to Use Them Effectively
Practice tests are an essential part of any MCAT prep plan. They allow you to assess your progress and identify areas where you need to improve. However, it's important to use practice tests effectively. Rather than taking them at random intervals throughout your study plan, try to incorporate them into your schedule in a more intentional way. For example, you might start by taking a diagnostic test to establish a baseline, then take a practice test every few weeks leading up to the exam.
Tips for Staying Focused and Motivated During Your MCAT Prep
Staying focused and motivated during MCAT prep can be a challenge, but there are a few things you can do to make the process easier. One approach is to try breaking up your studying into smaller, more manageable chunks. You might also consider finding a study partner or joining a study group, which can help keep you on track and accountable. Finally, don't forget to take breaks and give yourself some time to relax and recharge. Taking care of yourself is an important part of maintaining motivation and focus throughout the MCAT prep process.
The Best Study Resources for MCAT Preparation
There are many resources available to help you prepare for the MCAT, from textbooks and online courses to practice tests and study guides. Some of the most highly recommended resources include the official AAMC MCAT Prep Materials, Kaplan Test Prep, and The Princeton Review. Do your research and find the resources that work best for your learning style and needs.
Addressing Test Anxiety: Strategies for Staying Calm on Test Day
Test anxiety is a common experience for many students, but there are strategies you can use to stay calm and focused on test day. Some tips include: getting a good night's sleep, eating a healthy breakfast, arriving at the testing center early, and taking deep breaths to stay calm and centered.
How to Approach Different Types of MCAT Questions
The MCAT includes a variety of different question types, from multiple-choice to passage-based questions. Understanding how to approach each type of question is key to performing well on the exam. For example, you might try reading the questions before reading the passage, taking notes to help you keep track of important information, and using process of elimination to narrow down your answer choices.
Balancing Your MCAT Prep with Other Responsibilities
For many students, preparing for the MCAT is just one of many responsibilities they have to juggle. It's important to find a way to balance your MCAT prep with other commitments, such as work or family obligations. This might involve setting aside specific times each week for studying, or finding ways to multi-task, such as listening to MCAT prep podcasts during your commute.
Understanding the Scoring System and What it Means for Your Future
The MCAT is scored on a scale of 472 to 528, with the average score being around 500. Understanding the scoring system and what it means for your future is an important part of the MCAT prep process. A high score can improve your chances of getting into medical school, but it's important to keep in mind that there are many factors that go into the admissions process.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During MCAT Prep and Testing
There are a few common mistakes that students make during MCAT prep and testing, such as not giving themselves enough time to prepare, neglecting certain subject areas, and getting too caught up in the details of individual questions. Being aware of these potential pitfalls can help you avoid them and perform your best on test day.
Making the Most of Your Breaks During the Exam
During the MCAT, you'll have several breaks throughout the day. It's important to use these breaks effectively to rest and recharge. Try to get up and move around during your breaks, and make sure you're eating and drinking enough to stay nourished and hydrated.
Post-Test Strategies: What to Do While Waiting for Your Scores
After the MCAT, you'll have to wait several weeks for your scores to be released. During this time, it's important to take care of yourself and avoid stressing too much about your performance. Try to distract yourself with other activities, such as exercise or hobbies, and avoid constantly checking for updates on your scores.
Final Thoughts: How to Stay Positive and Focused Throughout the MCAT Process
The MCAT can be a challenging and stressful experience, but with the right mindset and approach, you can succeed. Remember to stay positive and focused throughout the process, and don't be afraid to ask for help or support when you need it. By developing a strong MCAT mindset and following a well-planned study strategy, you can achieve your goals and prepare for a successful future in medicine.

The use of private military and security companies (PMSCs) worldwide is increasing. Since the early 1990s, the global private security industry has been expanding significantly in response to increasingly complex security environments, ranging from conflict or post-conflict situations to growing terrorism threats and humanitarian crises.
In the Latin America and Caribbean region for instance, at least 16,174 private security companies have been identified, with more than 2,450,000 legal employees working as security guards. Today it is not rare to have states with a higher ratio of private security personnel to police. PMSCs have adapted their services and operations to this context; nevertheless, some PMSCs have also attracted increasing international attention due to misconduct, human rights abuses, and violations of international humanitarian law.
By Jovana Stopic Jovana Stopic is a human rights expert, she has been working with Belgrade Centre for Human Rights on establishing human rights and business footprint in Serbia since 2013
As a candidate country for EU membership, Serbia has been in the process of accession negotiations since 2014. Negotiations were initiated on a number of chapters including Chapter 5 on public procurement and Chapter 23 covering fundamental rights. To enter into EU membership, amongst other requirements, Serbia is expected to ensure that EU legislation has been transposed across the board into Serbian law and that it is effectively implemented. This means that the accession process is currently the main reform engine in the country in all spheres of political and economic life. It also entails that the success of any advocacy activity is conditioned on its proximity to the priorities set for the EU integration agenda.
By Alison Elliott Senior Policy Adviser, UNICEF Australia
The business and human rights agenda has gathered pace over the last year in Australia.
Now, three on-going processes represent significant opportunities to strengthen Australian policy and legislation, including in the area of public procurement.
If seized, they offer a chance to better protect individuals and communities against adverse human rights impacts of business activity, reward leading companies and further support corporations to meet their responsibility to respect human rights.
In particular, we recommended the inclusion of a “Transparency in Supply Chains” provision to apply to public bodies, as well as corporations, and to build upon experience, practice and research concerning the first year of implementation of Section 54 of the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA) by UK public buyers.
The booming field of public procurement studies is increasingly open to investigating human rights issues within supply chains. However, little attention has so far been paid to the economic and political impacts of public procurement regulations and practices on gender equality. Gender and sexuality cannot be separated from workers’ rights, fair pay, modern slavery – issues that are of interest to public procurement and human rights scholars and advocates. Gender and sexuality have widely been shown to reinforce occupational segregation of socio-economic classes in the workplace. Continue reading. “Why does Gender Equality Matter to Public Procurement? An African perspective”
The ICESCR is one of the two main human rights treaties worldwide. The Committee is made up of 18 independent experts who monitor implementation of the ICESCR by States parties. In its general comments, the Committee provides guidance on how states’ obligations under the ICESCR should be interpreted.
The Committee’s draft general comment on business and human rights expands on a range of business and human rights issues, drawing on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as well as the ICESCR.
The Modern Slavery Act (“MSA”) defines “commercial entities” as suppliers of goods or services with a total annual turnover of £36 million or more. This includes certain public bodies subject to the UK’s Public Contracts Regulations (2015). Amongst these are over one hundred Universities and Higher Education providers, which receive public funding from the Government at the same time as they act as commercial entities, by charging fees for the services they deliver.
By Théo Jaekel Senior Specialist: Human Rights and Supply Chain, Vinge Law Firm
On 30 November the Swedish Parliament adopted new legislation implementing the 2014 EU Directives on public procurement, but rejected proposed provisions that would have established mandatory social criteria in line with Swedish collective bargaining agreements, and ILO Core Conventions.
During the preceding political debates a clear dividing line could be seen between left and right wing parties on the issue of mandatory social requirements.
Under the Government’s proposals public authorities would have been obliged to include social criteria requiring suppliers to adhere to minimum standards with regards to wages, working hours, and vacation time in line with the prevailing collective bargaining agreement in the relevant industry in Sweden. The provisions would not have demanded that suppliers were a party to a collective bargaining agreement, but rather that they should adhere to the standards set by collective bargaining agreements. Nevertheless, the proposal met with strong resistance from the opposition. Continue reading. “Missed Opportunity for Stronger Public Procurement Legislation in Sweden”
Both draw on principles of fairness, non-discrimination on the grounds of nationality, and equal treatment, as is well known by procurement lawyers around the world.
But recognition of the need for the protection of human rights through public contracts is only now starting to gain traction as a key area of procurement policy and practical application by EU member states.

Retired nurse volunteers time giving back
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - One retired nurse is still working to make a difference after decades of work.
As a retired nurse, Jean Johnson has always been passionate about helping others.
“I think it just becomes a part of you. It takes a special person to want to do what’s required to be a nurse,” Johnson told News4.
She said that throughout her 35-year career, she had had moments that stuck with her.
“He was electrocuted. He went to intensive care, and afterward, he went to our unit and was a patient for a long time, and he was so grateful,” Johnson said when remembering a previous patient. “I remember him saying, you know I woke up one morning, and there were angels of mercy here. So that’s what he called us.”
Johnson spends most of her time at St. Thomas West, visiting patients and offering prayer during their most challenging moments, but there was one moment where she had to put this on pause for her hurdle.
“I said it is as bad as they are saying, and she said yes.”
Like many, Johnson lost many things to the 2021 floods, including most of her nursing memorabilia. However, the one thing that remained untouched by the event was her Daughters of Charity service award, the highest honor for a volunteer.
“There were a couple of other things like a fruit bowl that belonged to my mother was taken from the kitchen and landed in the living room without a scratch,” Johnson said. “Everything was fine. I thought to myself, of course, my mother had passed by then, she just meant for me to have that, and I thought the same for the daughters of charity award.”
She told News4 that the untouched award serves as a reminder of all that she had lost to the floods and values it every day.
“I had a devotional book that I picked up, and it said during the crucible praise God Thank him for the crucible, and now that I look back on it, it is so true because those things build your character and make you appreciative of what you have.”

own Hall: Community Conversation Series – Expanding Medicaid
Date and Time: February 28th, 2019 at 7:30PM
Location: New Light Baptist Church 1105 Willow Rd, Greensboro, NC 27401
Speakers: Senator Michael Garett, Senator Gladys A. Robinson, Representative Ashton Clemmons, Representative Pricey Harrison, Representative Amos L Quick III, NC Justice Center’s Brendan Riley
RSVP Link: action.ncdp.org/townhall
This month, legislative Democrats unveiled a clean proposal to expand Medicaid and make health care affordable and accessible for more than 500,000 North Carolinians. A top priority for Governor Cooper, legislative Democrats, and the North Carolina Democratic Party, expanding Medicaid is the very first thing on Democrats’ list for the 2019 session.
To rally support, North Carolina Democrats are holding public events in communities across the state.
NCPD is excited to partner with our Democratic legislators to launch our “Town Hall: Community Conversation Series” to spread the word about the importance of expanding Medicaid and hear about the issues that are impacting their communities. Our first stops will be in Alamance and Guilford Counties.
Expanding Medicaid is a top priority for North Carolina Democrats. Working families shouldn’t have to go without access to health care. More than 500,000 working people fall in the health care coverage gap.
Expanding Medicaid would ease the burden on rural hospitals, create 43,000 jobs, save lives, and connect people with quality mental health care.
Expanding Medicaid makes fiscal sense. Cost for the expansion would be covered by hospitals and health care systems and by the federal government.

The GE General Easter Modus W Series pressure transmitters are designed to measure low differential pressures of liquids or gases. A wide selection of standard pressure ranges and electrical ratings is available.
These pressure transmitters from the GE General Eastern Modus W Series feature: no moving parts to wear out, proven long term stability of piezoresistive devices, and all welded construction. Only 316 stainless steel is in contact with the fluid.
Series W pressure transmitters are an excellent choice for many HVAC, process and automation monitoring requirements. Typical applications of these pressure transmitters include measurement of differential pressure across flow elements, heat exchangers, pumps, filters, liquid level monitoring and other demanding differential pressure measurement and control applications.
The GE General Easter Modus W Series pressure transmitters are housed in a compact heavy duty gasketted cast aluminum enclosure designed to IP 65 of IEC 529 standards and NEMA 4. The die cast aluminum enclosure incorporates a recessed neoprene gasket to prevent ingress of moisture or dust. Wall mounting holes are enclosed in the cast aluminum box and concealed by the cover. The wall mounting holes and the cover attaching screws are outside the gasketted area. Access to these pressure transmitters' electrical terminals are made through a knockout on the front of the box. One knockout is standard with three hole sizes available to accommodate usage of 1/2" conduit or metric sizes PG11 and PG13.
Models from the GE General Easter Modus W Series of Pressure Transmitters
|W30||2-wire transmitter||11-32 VDC||4-20mA|
The span or zero adjustment is performed with a 20-turn potentiometer for fine resolution. A 50% adjustment in output is possible. The GE General Easter Modus W Series pressure transmitters have been tested by an accredited laboratory and comply with the European requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC for emission measurements per EN50081-1 and immunity tests per EN50082-1.
Operation of the GE General Eastern Modus W Series Pressure Transmitter
These pressure transmitters from GE General Eastern consist of two high accuracy piezoresistive sensors with stainless steel isolation diaphragms. Both sensors measure static pressure and the difference between these two measurements is computed electronically. The use of high accuracy and stable sensors makes this measurement possible. Since each sensor measures the full static pressure, there is no possibility of overpressurizing the transmitter if one sensor is disconnected from the line. No complex and expensive balancing valves are needed.

© 2017 The Authors. Ecology and Evolution published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Convergent evolution is widely viewed as strong evidence for the influence of natural selection on the origin of phenotypic design. However, the emerging evo-devo synthesis has highlighted other processes that may bias and direct phenotypic evolution in the presence of environmental and genetic variation. Developmental biases on the production of phenotypic variation may channel the evolution of convergent forms by limiting the range of phenotypes produced during ontogeny. Here, we study the evolution and convergence of brachycephalic and dolichocephalic skull shapes among 133 species of Neotropical electric fishes (Gymnotiformes: Teleostei) and identify potential developmental biases on phenotypic evolution. We plot the ontogenetic trajectories of neurocranial phenotypes in 17 species and document developmental modularity between the face and braincase regions of the skull. We recover a significant relationship between developmental covariation and relative skull length and a significant relationship between developmental covariation and ontogenetic disparity. We demonstrate that modularity and integration bias the production of phenotypes along the brachycephalic and dolichocephalic skull axis and contribute to multiple, independent evolutionary transformations to highly brachycephalic and dolichocephalic skull morphologies.

"Does Liquid Courage Exist?" is the central question of the new ¡Mayday! music video for a freestyle over the Beastie Boys' "Make Some Noise." The Miami hip-hop staples hit legendary Little Haiti punk haunt Churchill's Pub to get a satisfactory answer.
The clip itself is a gorgeous way to visit this dive without dealing with the safety of your vehicle, and none of the memorable odors coming from the men's bathroom. In some rich black and white footage shot by Jacob Rivera and Garcia, we see Churchill's in a whole new light. The pool table is like 50 feet long in one shot!
There's a ton of fisticuffs going on up at the bar, in the gaming area, in the bathroom for this shoot, and you can bet those punches look like they hurt!
The ¡Mayday! dudes assert that "No livers were hurt in the making of this video," but they never say that jawbones weren't bruised the day after. Great excuse to revisit the Beastie Boys' cameo-rich video for the original.

KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 17): The FBM KLCI closed 0.03% or 0.4 points lower to 1574.50 as the broader market was mostly lukewarm today, in line with the region, on a lack of updates on the US-China trade deal.
The benchmark index saw 2.33 billion shares traded at RM1.88 billion today.
TA Securities Holdings Bhd senior technical analyst Steven Soo told theedgemarkets.com that there was a tug-of-war going on as the KLCI closed in negative territory, with bargain hunting going on for mega blue chips.
“Nevertheless, the index is still holding up pretty well, despite mixed signals on the external market,” he said over the phone.
Soo also noted some rotational play going on amongst investors in the market.
“The oil and gas sector continues to be focus, whereas the property sector remains underperforming, perhaps because the recently-tabled Budget 2020 was not enough to boost sentiment,” he added.
Regionally, most markets were also tepid, as hopes of a Sino-US trade deal waned amid a lack of concrete details, Reuters said.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 index dropped 0.09%, while South Korea’s Kospi closed 0.23% lower.
In China, the Shanghai Composite Index ended 0.05% lower, though the Hang Seng was 0.69% higher.

Arylesterase – Paraoxonase Assay Kit
The prices will be displayed on the checkout.
Human serum arylesterase/paraoxonase (PON) is a polymorphic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of organophosphates such as paraoxon (1) and aromatic carboxylic acid esters of fatty acids (2,3). Most organophosphates are neurotoxins that are widely encountered in the diet and household (4). While over the years enzymatic activity has been named with regard to the substrates required, the same enzyme has been shown to catalyze nearly all arylesterase and paraoxonase activities (1,2,5). It is a glycoprotein containing 337 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of approximately 43 kD, and a serum concentration of about 50 mg/L (2,5) . Atherosclerosis and its relationship to coronary heart disease has been well documented as a major cause of illness and death in the Western Hemisphere. The lipoprotein HDL, the good cholesterol, is inversely related to the risk of development of atherosclerosis. PON has been shown to be closely associated with HDL, and may contribute to HDLs antiatherogenicity by preventing the oxidation of LDL, the bad cholesterol (2,4,6,7). In exogenous experiments with HDL and PON, Aviram, et al, determined that both HDLassociated PON and purified PON were potent inhibitors of LDL oxidation. Their experiments implied a peroxidative role for PON due to its active hydrolysis of H2O2, a major reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during oxidative stress (7,8). Hence, the Arylesterase/Paraoxonase Assay Kit may be used in conjunction with the Total Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit (catalog n. 0805002). Screening for total lipid peroxidation may be measured with the TBARS Assay Kit (catalog n. 0801192). In the clinical setting, PON is decreased in chronic renal failure, which may be restored to normal after transplantation (9), decreased in liver cirrhosis (3,10), and also shown to be decreased in diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and familial hypercholesterolemia (11). The OXItek Arylesterase/Paraoxonase Assay Kit provides a simple, reproducible method of quantifying arylesterase activity in serum or plasma. The Arylesterase/Paraoxonase Assay Kit is for Research Purposes Only.
Store Arylesterase Assay Buffer and Substrate at 4°C. The standard should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or lower.

Nearly 70 Palestinian prisoners who have been on hunger strike for five weeks to protest Israel’s detentions without charge or trial have been hospitalized, the Israel Prison Service announced Wednesday, according to the New York Times.
It was not immediately clear where these hospitals are located.
Issa Qaraqe, minister of prisoner affairs for the Palestinian Authority, reportedly told Voice of Palestine radio that the prisoners’ health is deteriorating rapidly. “Most are vomiting blood and fainting,” he stated. “They cannot walk, they are in terrible pain. We are afraid some will die if the situation continues.”
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners are participating in a hunger strike against Israel’s widespread practice of “administrative detention,” in which the nation holds people without charge or trial on “evidence” that is kept secret from the prisoner and lawyers. These detentions can be renewed indefinitely, and some Palestinians have languished in prison for over a decade under this status.
Critics charge that administrative detentions are part of a broad strategy to undercut Palestinian movements and further tear their social fabric. “Administrative detention is usually used against Palestinians who are protesting against Israeli apartheid,” Ramah Kudaimi of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation told Common Dreams. “Israel rounds up activists, holds them for several months, and can renew the detention and keep them indefinitely.”
The hunger strike began April 24 when nearly 100 prisoners, including many held under administrative detention, began withholding food at several prisons. According to a letter to the UN, penned by 18 Palestinian human rights organizations, these hunger strikers have faced retaliation for their protest, including: isolation, transfer, raids, denial of visits, and restriction of legal counsel. Despite these punishments, the hunger strikes have spread to other prisons.
The protest follows a 2012 mass hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners, which forced the Israeli government to agree to restrict its use of administrative detention.
Yet, according to Addameer, as of April 2014, 5,265 Palestinians are held in Israeli prisons, 186 of them under administrative detention.

After years of undergoing random testing by the NFL, Julian Edelman produced a positive result for an unknown substance that violated the league’s policy on performance enhancing drugs. He has been publicly contrite, although he did unsuccessfully appeal the ruling of a four-game suspension — so it’s a near certainty that he will be away from the Patriots for the first month of the season.
Former teammate, Rob Ninkovich, knows what that’s like and has offered advice to his friend on how to bounce back. The longtime Patriots linebacker told Edelman that while should try to confidently move on from the drama, he also can’t afford to go through this again.
“You have to learn from your mistakes. Whatever supplement you took, if you say it was a mistake, it just can’t happen twice,” Ninkovich told the Boston Herald’s Karen Guregian. “If you make an honest mistake, and you say ‘I’m sorry,’ they’ll forgive you. But if you do it again, you can’t come back from that. Guys with multiple offenses are automatically out.”
It’s good advice, as most fans will forgive one positive test these days because there are a lot of ways to violate the rule that don’t involve anything as potent as steroids or HGH. Considering Edelman got popped for the first time at the age of 32, nearly a decade into his NFL career, it’s fair to assume that he should have no issues with keeping his tests clean moving forward. He’s likely figured out what caused his positive result, and that will be a valuable lesson in how to prevenit from ever happening again.
Ninkovich went on to encourage Edelman to leave it all in the past as soon as possible.
“I just said it’s not the end of the world,” Ninkovich said. “Yeah, it sucks. It’s not what you want to deal with at this point in your career. When I was going through it, I had gone through all these emotions of what people were going to think of me, and at the end of the day, the people that love you, and that support you, it doesn’t matter. If you’re playing football, when you’re done playing football, those people will still be there. The people that are bad-mouthing you, or aren’t on your side.”
Ninkovich served the same four-game suspension for violating the PED policy at the start of the 2016 season. Upon returning, he contributed five 31 tackles QB hits, 4.0 sacks, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 12 games, and he retired during the 2017 offseason after winning Super Bowl LI.

How do you feel about waterfalls? Depending on your perspective, they can be devastatingly beautiful or devastatingly dangerous... or both.

Bedfellow politics rears its ugly head
Just when one thought the "side-pillow" parliament _ the term given to husband-wife duos serving in our halls of power _ had been laid to rest, the undead show signs of returning from the grave.
Obviously, we didn't dig the grave deep enough.
Bedfellow politics was a shameful parody we loved to hate for a long time. We thought it had been cremated when the present constitution was drafted and outlawed it. It goes to show even the charter can't tame politicians' greed for power, for the urge to prolong it knows no bounds.
The past two weeks have been eventful, with several events building a critical mass for a potential social upheaval on our streets once again.
The aftermath of the Ulan Bator democracy speech has descended into a nasty war of jibes. The strengthening baht could reach a crisis point where the central bank boss may be shown the door. The red-shirt rally against the Constitution Court contributed to rising political tensions. The peace talks with the Barisan Revolusi Nasional group appear to be begging violence more than solving it.
To top it off, firebrand Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung stepped forth stridently to declare he has a national reconciliation draft bill to present to parliament that will exonerate political offenders across all colour codes and bring fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra back home.
Meanwhile, despite parliament being in recess, our government MPs are working extra hard to edit the charter.
The ongoing scrutiny of four key sections of the constitution has been quiet yet swift. One of the sections put up for the butcher's block concerns the selection of senators. Plainly, the majority of scrutiny panelists want all senators to be elected, feeling the half of those occupying the Upper House via appointment are an undemocratic bunch.
It took little more than an afternoon to "fix" what had taken months to write. But no one would mind if the changes floated or made were conducive to progress. The alteration being attempted to Section 115 would strike out a few lines that currently prevent senators from serving back-to-back terms.
The omission of some text will also do away with the ban on parents or spouses of sitting MPs from running for the Senate.
So, what is so earth-shattering about husbands and wives being MPs and senators at the same time? As one politician has put it, they can work in pairs and should reduce tension in parliament.
And that's precisely the problem.
The Senate is, at least on paper, required to counter-balance the lower house in its legislative duties. We don't need harmony or rubber stamps in parliament; we want, where warranted, feisty and clean fights for sound legislation.
The since-abrogated 1997 charter introduced all-elected senators, but the Senate was also accused of being a proxy of the House of Representatives.
The current 2007 charter offered a change _ appointed and elected senators in equal numbers.
But now the scrutiny panelists, if they have their way, will revert the system to an all-elected Senate and lift the spousal ban on senator candidacy.
Under the 1997 charter, quite a few Senate candidates, although barred from heavy electioneering and subscribing to political parties, were spouses and siblings of MPs with whom they stood side-by-side and helped canvass votes.
When they ran for the Senate, they were dependent on votes in the constituencies dominated by the political parties their spouses were members of.
In effect, the Senate candidates were out to garner largely the same pool of voters who swept their spouses into the Lower House.
Spouses applying for Senate seats having previously accompanied their partners on the general election campaign trail became a common sight. Many of them made a name in politics simply by being the better halves of MPs, and came across as sharing the beliefs and manifestos of their spouse's political party.
Once a senator, all of a sudden they swore to be a separate entity from their MP husbands. But did they not enter parliament carrying the expectation of many voters that they and their spouses would work as a team?
There is too much the husbands and wives share politically. Yet they want to have us believe that one would be free to veto shoddy pieces of legislation sponsored by a party affiliated with the other.
History attests to the reality of spousal bonds overriding commitments to maintaining objectivity and accountability in parliament. What goes on between spouses is strictly a domestic issue and should remain at home where it belongs.

The town of Boyce led the charge Monday in offering no-cost COVID-19 vaccinations to all comers, and all did come! Some 200 more than the entire population, approximately 600, of the Northern Shenandoah Valley township rolled up their sleeves in a five-hour period starting at 8 a.m. – including ME!
The day began with a two-mile traffic backup on Route 340, turning the township into a parking zone for up to a mile around Boyce Volunteer Fire Department’s Social Hall where 10 Lord Fairfax Health District staffers were aligned to handle the unanticipated large, but jocular crowd. Apart from a preponderance of locals, the lineup across and around the fire hall parking lot included people like myself who’d made the trip from adjoining counties for a jab in the upper arm.
At 8 a.m. I joined an already lengthy queue, standing in the 34-degree weather with thoughts of leaving because of the cold but staying for the four hours it took to reach the warm interior of the roomy and warm social hall. That part of it was easy. In groups of 10, the 415 people ahead of me, and another approximately 400 behind, registered at the door, lined up for another 20 minutes, enjoying about five minutes with a nurse, a shot in the upper arm, and a date to return 28 days hence for another shot of the Moderna vaccine.
“Even at the weekly bingo,” one local man in line commented, “there has never been so many elderly people (75 and over was the rule for 1b eligibility) congregated in our town’s history!”
My new friend in line, George Wiltshire of Boyce’s Valley View Farm, helped us both out by doing a hot coffee run while I saved his space in line. We swapped stories, culminating in his confiding to two marriages (me, “too”, I said) and his roots going back to 1612 when his forebears arrived from England. Interesting, particularly to this U.K. immigrant who arrived in America in 1961. I believe our experience was shared in a number of new friendships formed in the queue. And George and I promised to stay in touch.
We all were in Plan 1b, the over 75s, with precedence given to law enforcement, education staff, food and agriculture workers, and other essential work groups. Staff reported that non-publicized, law enforcement and others received their shots last Friday in Front Royal and other locations. Inquiries left over the weekend with Warren Memorial Hospital were unanswered, but the Front Royal hospital is expected to provide shots this week.
The Lord Fairfax Health District serves residents in the City of Winchester and Clarke, Frederick, Page, Shenandoah and Warren Counties.
Wildcats secure 1st win!
The Warren County boys varsity basketball team secured their first win of the season against Central (Woodstock) high school this past Tuesday. The game ended with a very close final score of 44-42. After such an intimidating season of losses for WC, this game was refreshing and may be just what they need to turn this season around.
Neither of the varsity teams had a lead greater than 3 points at the start of any quarter of the intense game. The teams were tied 42-42 with only 2 minutes left of the game, until Logan DeHaven, a senior on Warren County’s team, scored 2 points with only 6 seconds left on the clock. When asked about how it felt to score the game-winning shot, DeHaven said that “it was an exciting experience and a relief to win. I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with any other teammates, they really make the whole experience memorable.”
The JV teams from Central and Warren County also played each other on Tuesday prior to the varsity game. The Wildcats won with a score of 44-38 and demonstrated several talented shooters such as Nicholas Foltz, who scored 4 three-pointers.
If you are unable to attend Warren County High School basketball games due to limited spectators, you can purchase tickets to the live-streamed games on sportscopelive.com. The live-streams are hosted by Wildcats Live! and feature great video quality, as well as exciting commentary.
Virginia enacts first-in-the-nation permanent COVID-19 workplace safety and health standards amid pandemic
Virginia’s permanent COVID-19 workplace safety and health rules take effect January 27, 2021, after Governor Northam approved the standard adopted by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry’s Safety and Health Codes Board last week. The standards mandate appropriate personal protective equipment, sanitation, social distancing, infectious disease preparedness, and response plans, record keeping, training, and hazard communications in workplaces across the Commonwealth.
“While the end of this pandemic is finally in sight, the virus is still spreading, including several highly contagious variants, and now is not the time to let up on preventative measures,” said Governor Northam. “I am grateful to the many businesses and organizations who have been with us throughout this process and continue to take the necessary steps to operate safely. These standards will reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure and protect the health and safety of Virginia workers, consumers, and communities as we move our Commonwealth forward together.”
In the absence of a federal standard, Virginia took action last year to create the nation’s first emergency temporary workplace safety and health requirements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The permanent standards align closely with the emergency temporary rules adopted in July and are intended to slow the transmission of COVID-19 and protect Virginia workers. The temporary standards were effective for six months and the Board worked to make them permanent through the process defined in state law. These workplace safety requirements will remain effective throughout the pandemic. The Board will reconvene within 14 days of the expiration of Governor Northam’s COVID-19 emergency declaration to determine whether there is a continued need for the standard.
“No Virginia worker should have to weigh their family’s economic security against their physical safety,” said Chief Workforce Development Advisor Megan Healy. “These permanent standards provide workers with essential recourse if faced with this untenable decision while giving businesses a clear understanding of the steps they must take to maintain a safe working environment.”
In addition to requiring all public-facing employees to wear masks, the standards ensure ready access to hand sanitizer and the regular cleaning of common workspaces. Employers must train employees on COVID-19 safety and develop infectious disease and preparedness response plans. The new permanent regulations include guidelines for returning to work and communicating about employees who test positive and potential exposures. The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry will enforce the permanent standard.
After receiving a complaint, the Department works with the employer to be compliant with no further investigation. If serious concerns arise in the fact-finding interviews or the Department receives multiple complaints, a formal investigation will be launched. The Department has received over 13,000 complaints around workplace safety due to COVID-19, with 100 needing full investigation due to serious concerns and 27 employers being cited.
“These scientifically based standards will help keep Virginia’s workers and their families safe during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Department of Labor and Industry Commissioner Ray Davenport. “We look forward to working together with the business and labor communities to achieve compliance and safe workplaces across the Commonwealth.”
At least six other states have adopted comprehensive COVID-19 workplace safety standards in the months since Virginia’s first-in-the-nation emergency temporary standard went into effect. On January 21, President Biden signed an executive order directing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue guidance for employers on keeping workers safe and preventing COVID-19 exposure by March 15.
The final permanent standard can be found here. Infectious disease preparedness and response plan templates and training guides are available at doli.virginia.gov. Workers who feel unsafe in their workplace can file a formal complaint with the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration here.
Turnmeyer Galleries moves to Main Street
Turnmeyer Galleries, a unique art gallery/gift shop, who opened on South Street in October 2019, is now part of the merchants on Main Street in Front Royal, Virginia.
The retail establishment, providing local art and photography pieces, as well as boutique gift items from top brands like Simply Southern apparel, Moonglow jewelry, Nora Fleming homeware and more, opened the doors on the new location January 1, 2021.
Why Main Street, why now? Owners Scott and Pam Turnmeyer say “It was the right time. Our first location was to test the waters of the tourists along South Street heading to the National Park. We didn’t expect the largest majority of our clientele to be local. Given that, we felt that a move to a bigger location that offered more space for us to bring in unique items for our customers while offering a better parking arrangement was due.”
Turnmeyer Galleries moved into what was Jean’s Jewelers, who moved to the Martin Shopping Center in 2020. Their address is 407b East Main Street and they are located directly across from the Tourism Center and Gazebo parking area.
They are open 6 days a week, being closed on Tuesdays. Visit their Facebook page or website for their hours.

Winchester man faces multiple charges following possible OD death at Hampton Inn
On Saturday, January 23, 2021, Front Royal Police Department (FRPD) and Warren County EMS personnel responded to the Hampton Inn, located at 9800 Winchester Road, for a report of an unresponsive 38-year-old female. The 911 caller was identified as the female’s husband, Nathaniel E. Green, III, 42, of Winchester, who remained on scene. Despite the best efforts of FRPD Units and EMS Personnel, the female was pronounced deceased on scene.
Detectives located three (3) handguns, multiple rounds of ammunition for the weapons, identifications cards belonging to Mr. Green, a pink powder and two capsules with white powder, both of which are suspected narcotics, located in the same proximity. A criminal history check revealed that Green is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing firearms.
Nathaniel Green was subsequently arrested without incident and transported to Rappahannock Shenandoah Warren (RSW) Regional Jail, where he went before a magistrate and is currently being held without bond. Green was charged with § 18.2- 308.2 Felon in Possession of a Firearm and § 18.2-250 Possession of a Controlled Substance. A court date for these offenses is set for March 2, 2021, at 10:00 A.M., in Warren County General District Court.
