The final remaining relics Darkseid needed were being guarded by A.R.G.U.S. at their HQ, so Darkseid decided to use a Boom Tube to transport the building and all its contents to his base in the Amazon Rainforest. The Female Furies retrieved the relics and put them into place while Wonder Woman fought Darkseid. With the relics' power, Darkseid was able to open a portal to Themyscira. As it is impossible for one who has set foot on Themyscira to return after leaving, Diana was unable to follow Grail through the portal. Grail invaded and began transforming the Amazons into creatures resembling Darkseid's Parademons. As Jason had never actually set foot on Themyscira, he followed Grail and met his mother Hippolyta for the first time since his birth. While Jason and Hippolyta fought off the transformed Amazons, Wonder Woman was able to defeat Darkseid through her love for her deceased father, Zeus, and her half-siblings, calling their spirits out of Darkseid's body and destroying him from the inside. The Amazons captured Grail and imprisoned her in the prison beneath Themyscira, alongside Ares, while Darkseid re-emerged somewhere on Earth. Jason was gifted a magical spear from his mother and returned to Earth.
On May 31, Wonder Woman was banned in Lebanon after the Campaign to Boycott Supporters of Israel asked the Lebanese government's Ministry of Economy and Trade to block the film because its star, Gal Gadot, is Israeli. The Lebanese government did not ban Gadot's Fast & Furious films which did screen in Lebanon. On June 7, Variety reported that a Tunisian court suspended the theatrical release of Wonder Woman after a lawsuit brought by the Al-Chaab party and the Tunisian Association of Young Lawyers to have the film blocked due to Gadot's Israeli citizenship, military service, and public comments in support of the Israeli military during the 2014 war in Gaza. Jordan was reportedly also considering a ban of the film and suspended screenings pending a decision, but on June 11, it was reported that the government decided not to do so, as there was no legal precedent for it.
Meanwhile, the New God Orion had learned that a great danger was to be found on Earth in the form of the child of a god. He sought out his old friend Milan for help. Nearby, Diana and Lennox decided to seek Milan by themselves, leaving Zola and Hera to bicker with one another in the meantime. They found him in the old subway system with Orion. Though their encounter began violently, Lennox managed to explain that they had accounted for six of the seven children of Zeus. Orion believed that one of those seven was the child that he had been sent to kill. Lennox and Diana concluded that he was referring to Zola's kidnapped son, and so they convinced Milan to search through the ether until he located the boy in the arms of Demeter. When they all returned to Manhattan to find Zola and Hera in a bar with War, Diana managed to convince her uncle to lead her to Demeter's domain.

When Diana returns she takes on the persona of Diana Prince, now a secret agent and member of the Department of Metahuman Affairs. She is partnered with Nemesis and the two report to Sarge Steel. Her first assignment is to retrieve her sister Donna Troy, who has been kidnapped by several of her most persistent enemies; their powers have been augmented by Circe. After this is accomplished, Diana takes back the title of Wonder Woman.
For unexplained reasons, Heracles struck a deal with a mortal man, Harold Campion, whereby the two would exchange places (Earth for Olympus) Heracles used the mirror of Circe to conceal his identity and adventured under the name Champion. He cast a love spell on Diana and accompanied her for a time, until Diana discovered his true identity.
Jenkins disagrees with this line of critique. She has stated that she was raised by a second-wave "feminist mother", who taught her to be "both super aware that there had been sexism but also: 'Congratulations—thank you, now I get to do whatever I want, Mom!'" Jenkins thus notes that it is this upbringing which has led her to question a feminist critique of Wonder Woman's costume. When she was working on her own version of Wonder Woman's "Gladiator" re-design of the outfit (in the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) Jenkins decided that Wonder Woman (as well as the other Amazons) "shouldn't be dressed in armor like men ... It should be different ... I, as a woman, want Wonder Woman to be hot as hell, fight badass, and look great at the same time—the same way men want Superman to have huge pecs and an impractically big body." Jenkins also notes that she is "frustrated" by the critique of Wonder Woman's appearance, stating "when people get super critical about her outfit, who's the one getting crazy about what a woman wears? That's who she is; that's Wonder Woman." Gal Gadot concurred with Jenkins, arguing that the character "is a feminist" as "feminism is about equality and choice and freedom. And the writers, Patty and myself all figured that the best way to show that is to show Diana as having no awareness of social roles. She has no gender boundaries. To her, everyone is equal."
After Darkseid and Grail's retreat, they returned to a base in the Amazon Rainforest, where Darkseid was setting his mysterious plans into motion. He tasked his loyal Female Furies with tracking down a godly relic he needed, but they were unable to do so thanks to the intervention of Steve Trevor and his A.R.G.U.S. forces. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman fought a number of villains that had been recruited by Veronica Cale: Zara of the Crimson Flame, Blue Snowman and Anglette. As Diana caught up with Steve at A.R.G.U.S. HQ, Jason returned wearing a suit of armor gifted to him by the gods, but with no knowledge of its purpose. As news came in of an attack by Grail, Wonder Woman and Jason immediately responded just in time to prevent Grail from killing another demigod. Wonder Woman bound Grail in the Lasso of Truth and forced her to reveal Darkseid's plans. Grail explained that Darkseid was looking to build himself an army of Amazons. Due to her half-Amazon blood, Grail was able to break free from the Lasso's grip and retreated.
The success of the superhero television series Supergirl informed the marketing and promotion strategy used for Wonder Woman. According to Time Warner chief marketing officer Kristen O'Hara, they wanted to approach the Wonder Woman marketing campaign in a light manner, similar to how they did with Supergirl. O'Hara elaborated that the modest campaign route they took for Supergirl aided in establishing a large central fanbase among women well in advance of the series, which reportedly generated 5 million female superhero fans in one week. They were then able to model over time, and grow that audience leading up to the 15-months-later release of Wonder Woman. Though neither the film nor the series are aimed exclusively at women, the latter's campaign gave them their first opportunity to begin collecting data about female superhero fans. In May 2017, a promo for Wonder Woman was released during the season finale of Supergirl, featuring a remix of the song "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) wearing Wonder Woman's boots. The promo included an appearance by Lynda Carter, star of the 1970s Wonder Woman, who plays the American president on Supergirl.
In the first story arc, Wonder Woman meets and protects a young woman named Zola, from Hera's wrath. Zola is pregnant with Zeus's child and Hera, seething with jealousy intends to kill the child.   The major event in this story is the revelation of Diana's true parentage. Long ago, Hippolyta and Zeus battled each other. Their battle ended with the couple making love and thus Diana was conceived. The first six issues of the New 52 series are collected in a hardcover titled Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Blood.
Wonder Woman gets a little jealous with Supergirl's arrival, believing she is trying to catch everyone's attention. When she realized that Supergirl is actually a better superhero because she looks up to Wonder Woman, they became friends and Wonder Woman helps to train Supergirl. She is among the heroes to battle against Granny Goodness and the Female Furies. She is voiced by Grey Griffin.
In the "Watchmen" sequel "Doomsday Clock," Doctor Poison attended the meeting established by the Riddler and mentioned a rumor that Wonder Woman was forcefully dragged back to Themyscira by her fellow Amazons. Wonder Woman comes out of hiding to address the United Nations, hoping to defuse the metahuman arms race. However, the summit is interrupted by Black Adam, the Creeper, and Giganta, who take advantage of the absence of most of Earth's superheroes to attack the UN at the time when the superheroes were confronting Doctor Manhattan on Mars.
Following Pérez, William Messner-Loebs took over as writer and Mike Deodato became the artist for the title. Messner-Loebs introduced Diana's Daxamite friend Julia in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #68 during the six-issue space arc. Messner-Loebs's most memorable contribution to the title was the introduction of the red-headed Amazon Artemis, who took over the mantle of Wonder Woman for a short time. He also included a subplot during his run in an attempt to further humanize Diana by having her work for a fictional fast food chain called "Taco Whiz".
Superhuman Strength: Diana possesses far greater strength than the finest human athletes. She kept an A.R.G.U.S aircraft from crashing by holding it up. She dispatched numerous Parademons during Darkseid's invasion and broke the Fortress of Solitude's doors down when H'el locked Superman out and took control of it. She has also managed to briefly overpower both Green Lantern and Aquaman, as well as Supergirl. She managed to defeat the goddess Artemis, as well as draw blood from The First Born.
Hera Sea Devils #14 (November–December 1963) Hera is the Queen of the Gods, Goddess of Marriage, Home, Women, Childbirth, and Family who is based on the goddess of the same name. Post-Crisis, she destroyed Themyscira after finding Zeus leering at Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall. In the New 52, Hera initially appears antagonistic, though after her immortality and powers are stripped from her by Apollo, she joins Wonder Woman in her quest to protect the reincarnated Zeus. Post-Rebirth, she appeared as a peacock and aided Wonder Woman alongside several other gods.
The JLA's first trip to the universe is where Owlman is found hacking computer systems to get the info he needs. There, the JLA fights recruits the Crime Syndicate of America has recruited. Their second trip was when Batman followed Superwoman, and defeats her. After taking out Superwoman, he calls the JLA, and alongside the JLA travels to the moon, to get to the Crime Syndicate's headquarters. From there on, every JLA'er fights against their counterparts, and Wonder Woman manages to even win against her counterpart, Superwoman.
Steve Rose in The Guardian criticized the film for failing to explore the material's potential for "patriarchy-upending subversion". Peter Travers of Rolling Stone criticized the film's over-reliance on exposition: "Wonder Woman is hobbled by a slogging origin story and action that only comes in fits and starts. Just when Gadot and director Patty Jenkins...are ready to kick ass, we get backstory."
Wonder Woman received a largely positive response from film critics, with some calling it the DC Extended Universe's best film, with additional praise highlighting Jenkins's direction, acting, chemistry of Gadot and Pine, musical score, and action sequences. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 425 reviews, with an average rating of 7.66/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Thrilling, earnest, and buoyed by Gal Gadot's charismatic performance, Wonder Woman succeeds in spectacular fashion." It is the second highest-rated superhero film on the site.[note 1] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 76 out of 100, based on 50 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an 85% overall positive score and a 73% "definite recommend".
Many writers have depicted Diana in different personalities and tone; between both of her diametric extremes; that of a worldly warrior, a highly compassionate and calm ambassador, and sometimes also as a naive and innocent person, depending on the writer. What has remained constant, and is a mainstay of the character, is her nurturing humanity: her overwhelming belief in love, empathy, compassion, and having a strong conscience. This trait had been the reason for her induction into the Star Sapphires.

Wonder Woman continued to use the plane for super speed, outer space, and multi-dimensional transport up until the unpowered era of Diana Prince. When Wonder Woman resumed superpowered, costumed operations in 1973, she continued to use the jet as before, but did glide on air currents for short distances. At one point, Aphrodite granted the plane the power to fly faster than the speed of light for any interstellar voyages her champion might undertake. Thanks to tinkering by gremlins, the Plane even developed intelligence and the power to talk. The plane proved a good friend, eager to help his "mistress" and her loved ones in any way possible. It got along especially well with Steve Trevor.
Wonder Woman’s costume has come under heavy criticism throughout the years. Many find that as an example of a character that is supposed to represent female empowerment that by wearing a costume which reveals a gratuitous amount of skin that the character is being contradictory. Numerous attempts have been made to make her costume more realistic, however in terms of the character’s history there are few problems with it. Despite that it offers little protection, Wonder Woman does not require very much protection, either from harm or from the elements. The costume is also sometimes criticized for its symbolism closely related to American themes, that despite the fact that she is meant to be an emissary of peace to the whole planet, that her costume looks very American This is explained as one of the motivations for her role in Man’s World world. The costume is a breastplate inspired by the colors and symbols of a downed World War II airplane being flown by Steve Trevor’s mother . As an American pilot, it is therefore not surprising that stars (on the lower part of her breastplate) and stripes (one her boots) are evident parts of the design. In the summer of 2011 it was announced that DC Comics would reboot its entire lineup and create the new 52. Debate immediately surfaced as the head creative force behind the reboot (Jim Lee) decided that all female characters should be drawn with "pants" or full leg covering as part of their costume. This was in line with the redrawn Wonder Woman after issue #600 in volume 3. However, as the summer progressed images began to appear with Diana in a costume which appeared to be a synthesis of her traditional one and the reimagined one. With the actual reboot this is the costume that was decided on, essentially with the breastplate in the general shape of the traditional costume, and the theme being more in line with the redesign of the previous year. She additionally has added aspects of her uniform which didn't exist before such as a braided armband.

The much awaited new iPhones have finally been launched and they seem to be sporting most of the features that have already been speculated before. The event from today is taking place in Cupertino’s Flint Center, which is a venue that Apple hasn’t used for an announcement in over 15 years, but it’s the same place where both the original Mac in 1984 and the first iMac in 1998 have debuted.
Both new iPhones feature “Retina HD” displays, with the iPhone 6 coming in at 4.7 inches and a 1334×750 resolution, while the iPhone 6 Plus comes in at 5.5 inches and a 1920×1080 resolution. Previous iPhone models had flat edges, but with the new ones, the glass on the front of the displays now curves into the body.
According to Apple, these are “the thinnest phones they’ve ever made”, at 6.9mm for the iPhone 6 and 7.1mm for the iPhone 6 Plus. The smartphones are powered by Apple’s new A8 processor, which should be at least 25% faster than the A7 by processing power, and 50% faster in the graphic rendering field.
Also, as expected, it seems that the battery life has been improved drastically. The iPhone 6’s battery should now be able to offer 14 hours of 3G talk, 50 hours of audio, 11 of video and 10 standby days. With the iPhone 6 Plus, it’s slightly better – 24 hours of 3G talk, 80 hours of audio, 14 of video and 16 standby days.
The iPhone 6, as well as the iPhone 6 Plus, come with 802.11ac WiFi support, which is said to be able to offer a maximum transfer speed of 1 Gbps. There’s also a new M8 coprocessor which is said to keep better track of your activity levels. Let’s hope that developers also start creating more apps to make use of it, because it hasn’t quite gotten the needed traction in almost a year since it was announced.
The iPhone 6 Plus comes with an 8-megapixel iSight camera and an f/2.2 aperture lens paired with the same True Tone flash as in the 5s. It also comes with phase detecting autofocus, improved face detection and a new Best Shot mode. Plus owners also get optical image stabilization, and 1080p video can be shot at either 30 or 60 frames per second. Also, slow motion video is now even slower – 140 frames per second.
Pricing and availability
The iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299 for the 16 GB model, with pre-orders starting on September 12th and shipping on the 19th. So, this is 10 days from the launch event. I was expecting pre-orders to start this weekend, so it seems that the rumors linked to production hurdles aren’t apparently true. The increase in panel and battery size hasn’t proved to pose troubles to the makers, but will most likely affect Apple’s competition.
As expected, prices start at $199 for the 4.7-inch 16 GB entry level, with $100 more for 64Gb and 128GB, which means $299 for 64GB and $399 for the 128 GB one. The final public version of iOS 8 lands on Sept 17th, obviously, in order to make sure it comes out of the box.
iPhone 6 tech specs and features
- 4.7-inch display with Retina HD resolution (1334 x 750 pixels), 326 pixels per inch and a wider angle of view
- Te glass on the new display is “ion strengthened“
- 6.9mm thin- the thinnest device Apple has ever made
- New A8 processor, which is 25 percent faster than the A7
- 50 percent faster graphics chip, 13 percent smaller than the A7

- LTE advanced, with speeds up to 150Mbps
- 8 megapixel resolution like in the 5S with an all-new sensor with even larger pixels than before; paired with an f/2.2 aperture lens and dual-LED flash
- Digital image stabilization
- Can shoot 1080p video at either 30 or 60 frames per second, and the slow motion feature now supports 120 or 240 frames per second
iPhone 6 Plus tech specs and features
- 5.5-inch display with Retina HD resolution (1920×1080)
- 7.1 millimeters thin
- Optical image stabilization
- Will allow apps to show more information than on smaller-sized iPhone screens

Massage for Tendonitis
Tendonitis is the painful inflammation of a tendon (fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone) that often occurs as the result of a repetitive strain or a muscular overuse injury. Massage is a type of manual therapy that can help relieve the pain associated with tendonitis and improve overall function by manipulating the affected area to reduce excessive tension in the connective tissue and muscles, and promote healing.
How Can Massage Help Relieve Tendonitis?
Treatments for tendonitis are intended to heal the injured tendon. Restricted activity, rest, anti-inflammatory medications, elevation, compression, and splinting are the first lines of treatment for tendonitis. Massage for tendonitis may help relieve excessive tension and help prevent the buildup of scar tissue with hands on manipulation of the affected area. Icing may be done before and after massage to provide pain relief.
Massage should not be given during the acute stage of a tendonitis injury (which is typically the first 48 hours after injury) and should not be performed when tissues are swollen or visibly inflamed.
Studies have suggested that deep friction massage is the type of massage that is most beneficial for treating tendonitis. The goal of deep friction massage is to move across a ligament or tendon to mobilize it as much as possible. Deep friction massage, when performed before active exercise, can help reduce the pain associated with tendonitis and restore mobility. Deep friction massage is generally thought to be an effective treatment for tendonitis.
What is Tendonitis?
Tendonitis is the pain and tenderness that occur just outside of a joint as the result of inflammation or irritation of a tendon. Tendonitis commonly affects the shoulder (rotator cuff tendonitis), elbow (tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow), wrist and thumb (de Quervain’s disease), hip (iliotibial band tendonitis), knee (runner’s knee or peripatellar tendonitis), and lower calf or ankle (Achilles tendonitis). People with a chronic medical condition such as diabetes may have calcitic tendonitis, a buildup of calcium deposits in the joint.
Acute (sudden onset) tendonitis may lead to chronic (long-term) tendonitis (called tendonitis or tendinopathy) if the person does not adequately rest the joint or if the person keeps using the joint while experiencing symptoms.
What Causes Tendonitis?
Repetitive strain injury is the most common cause of tendonitis and may occur more commonly with certain occupations or sports (such as baseball, golf or tennis). It may also be associated with an inflammatory condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, or may occur as the result of an acute injury, such as an excessive muscle stretch.
How Can Tendonitis be Prevented?
Stretching before and after an activity, cross-training, and avoiding activities that cause excessive stress on the tendons for long periods can help prevent or reduce the risk of tendonitis. Physical therapy that includes range-of-motion exercises as well as flexibility and strengthening exercises also may help reduce the risk of recurring tendonitis.
We at Body Sage Massage have certified orthopedic massage therapists that are experienced, licensed massage therapist who can assess your condition and recommend the massage techniques that are right for you.

I have had a varied educational experience. Prior to joining Keele, I studied English Literature at the University of St. Andrews for 4 years. Being the only permanent wheelchair user on campus during that time gave me an insight into the challenges facing students with disabilities, which has greatly influenced my current research interests. In 2011, I first came to Keele and completed the CPE, where I began to consider the rights of people with disabilities under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in terms of access to goods and services. I then undertook a Masters programme in Law and Society at Keele and my dissertation was based on the barriers facing persons with disabilities in relation to access to public transport. In my dissertation, I considered the appropriateness of maintaining the notions of ‘reasonable adjustment’ and ‘undue burden’ in the rights focused dialogue created by the CRPD. In September 2014, I presented a paper based on this research project at the Lancaster CeDR Disability Studies Conference. In September 2014, I returned to Keele to undertake a Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr Eliza Varney and Professor Anthony Bradney. My PhD considers the barriers facing students with disabilities to participation in legal education.
I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
- Seminar Leader on Disability and Human Rights on Tom's Human Rights Masters Module
- Tutorial Teacher on Torts 2
Abi has also taught a Disability centred session on the Schools and Colleges Outreach programme where the group looked at issues relating to access to transport and equality for people with disabilities.
Abi is happy to supervise projects concerning disability, equality, human rights, legal education.
In March 2019 Abi was awarded a SEDA developing research grant for a project with collegaues in KIITE, Dr Chris Little and Karl Gimblet, tto design an immersive disability equality training programme to assist colleagues and the wider sector in meeting our obligations under the Equality Act, through inclusive teaching practices.
In 2020, Abi was awarded Funding from The Keele Institute for Social Inclusion (KISI) to hold an Academics and Stakeholders Event in Collaboration with Dr Miro Griffiths from Leeds.
The Perspective Collective, opening a window onto rights and reality: hearing and recording experiences of disability rights to shape future responses'
Inviting key speakers with from a variety of institutions and backgrounds would further KISI’s strategic objectives of cross institutional and interdisciplinary work to address issues around representation of previously marginalized communities, to tackle social and political inequalities. The proposed activities fit well within KISI’s overall themes and objectives as well as within the mission statement to achieve a greater degree of social inclusion through interdisciplinary research and internationally and nationally important projects which have an effect both domestically and internationally. Forging links with the Centre for Disability Studies as Leeds University and the relationship that this will open up with colleagues both nationally and internationally offers an opportunity to place both Keele and KISI on the international stage in relation to work concerning the advancement of the rights of Disabled People.

Bright-green baby broad beans are a great luxury, not because of the cost, but the huge time investment required to peel them. Here, I’ve put them with other spring-like vegetables: asparagus, pea shoots and tender raw peas that make me feel as if I’m eating a bowlful of goodness.
Usually, asparagus – regarded as a bit of a nightmare when it comes to wine drinking because of the way it changes the taste of the wine in your mouth – would dictate the bottle choice. It’s good matched against the scything edge of a grassy sauvignon blanc. But, but, but. The generous helping of soft, creamy ricotta is a game-changer here; it bridles and almost curdles when you put it with sauvignon blanc, and is similarly stung by a sharp riesling, another grape I like to drink with asparagus. The solution is to pick your riesling or sauvignon blanc carefully, choosing one that’s sleek rather than brash – or to go with another grape.
Fresher styles of chardonnay can work well, balancing ricotta’s need for breadth with a gentle citrus note. Italian whites are, as so often with Italian food, also good: think vermentino, lugana, verdicchio. A peppery- grapefruity grüner veltliner from Austria also tastes good with this creamy-astringent combination. And heading further east into Hungary, if you can find a dry white wine made from furmint – the grape better known for its part in sticky-sweet Tokaji – then that will go very well.
One more word: the quantities here are for one person: lunch or perhaps add a light second course for an easy supper. If you’re cooking for friends, stick a glass of wine in front of them and get them to peel the broad beans. I have broad bean peeling races and weigh the results to see who was fastest.
4 GREAT MATCHES:
Montgravet Chardonnay 2014 France, 12% (Waitrose, £5.99)
It doesn’t have the purity of the Blind Spot (below), but this slightly peachy, lemony chardonnay is a good wine for the price.
Finest Marlborough Riesling 2014 New Zealand, 11.5% (Tesco, £8.99)
A particularly refreshing, smooth and easy-drinking riesling; fine, clear and tinged with lime.
Taste the Difference Grüner Veltliner 2013 Austria, 12.5% (Sainsbury’s, £7.50)
Austria’s signature white grape is fresh, and reminiscent of white pepper and citrus.
Blind Spot Yarra Chardonnay 2014 Australia, 12.5% (The Wine Society, £8.50)
This has enough creaminess to meet the ricotta, and a lemon and apple twang. Easily the winner.
Broad bean, pea shoot, asparagus & ricotta bowl recipe
frozen broad beans 120g
asparagus tips 6
pea shoots 2 handfuls
fresh garden peas 50g
ricotta 2 tbsp
grated lemon zest 1⁄2 tsp
extra virgin olive oil
sourdough bread 2 slices, toasted to serve
Put the beans into a heat-proof jug or bowl, and cover with plenty of boiling water to blanch. Leave for a minute, then drain and remove from pods.
Trim the hard base of the asparagus stalks, then cook them on a hot griddle pan, turning occasionally, until slightly charred but still crunchy.
Arrange the pea shoots, raw peas, broad beans and asparagus in a bowl with a couple of spoonfuls of ricotta on the side. Mix the lemon zest with 1 tbsp olive oil and drizzle over the top. Serve with the sourdough toast, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt to taste.

Slide quality is an important factor in pathology workflow and diagnosis. We examine the extent of quality variations in digitized hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) slides due to variations and errors in staining and/or scanning (e.g., outof- focus blur & stitching). We propose two automatic quality estimators by adapting image quality assessment (IQA) methods that are originally developed for natural images. For the first estimator, we assume a gold-standard reference digital pathology slide is available. Quality of a given slide is estimated by comparing the slide to such a reference using a full-reference perceptual IQA method such as VIF (visual information fidelity) or SSIM (structural similarity metric). Our second estimator is based on IL-NIQE (integrated local natural image quality evaluator), a no-reference IQA, which we train using a set of artifact-free H&E high-power images (20× or 40×) from breast tissue. The first estimator (referenced) predicts marked quality reduction of images with simulated blurring as compared to the artifact-free originals used as references. The histograms of scores by the second estimator (no-reference) for images with artifact (blur, stitching, folded tissue, or air bubble artifacts) and for artifact-free images are highly separable. Moreover, the scores by the second estimator are correlated with the ratings given by a pathologist. We conclude that our approach is promising and further research is outlined for developing robust automatic quality estimators.

Liam Payne has opened up about what’s behind his song writing – revealing a little more than anyone really needed to know.
The One Direction star claimed that his love of sex was the inspiration behind a lot of his songs.
The Sun has reported that Liam was speaking in a yet-to-be-aired radio interview with Gaz Drinkwater for Total Access, when he made the confessions.
“I like sex,” he said. “So what better way than to musically express myself as a young man growing up. I’m into it. I like it. It’s good.”
Of course, it’s far from uncommon for singers to write songs about relationships – both the emotional and physical aspects – but perhaps Liam could have just let his lyrics do the talking on this one.
After all, he had a song featured on the soundtrack of raunchy romance, Fifty Shades Freed.
The song, “For You,” which Liam performed with Rita Ora features the lyrics “I’m free as a bird, When I’m flying in your cage, I’m diving in deep.
Perhaps he doesn’t need to spell everything out in interviews…
The interview comes just a few weeks after the end of Liam’s heavily-publicised relationship with Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy – which may have affected the release of his solo album.
The singer claimed that while the album was almost done, he decided against releasing several of the songs.
“I have enough songs for it and was ready to put it out,” he said. “But I kind of feel like some of the songs I’m not ready to put out right now with the way I’m feeling. I don’t know.”
Don’t miss out: Three steps to ensure you see all ED!’s latest news on Facebook
Liam suggested that the break up had affected the angle he would be taking with the album.
“To be honest with you, life’s took a little bit of a different turn as of late, so I’m kind of going with that turn and being honest with my feelings and stuff,” he said.
The singer has been linked with model Cairo Dweek since his split from Cheryl.
Do you think Liam’s comments are a bit much? Leave us a comment on our Facebook page @EntertainmentDailyFix and let us know what you think!

India and the US are set to announce a
major initiative in the travel and tourism sector, including an increase in
quota for issuing US visa, in an effort to take the bilateral ties to a higher
US Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker will
unveil the initiative on the sidelines of the US-India Strategic and Commercial
Dialogue on August 30, sources in the know told Business Line.
This move follows the decision taken by the
US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in June when both
the leaders announced that the US and India will be Travel and Tourism Partner
Countries in 2017.
The thrust on travel comes as the tourism
sector contributed $120 billion or 6.3 per cent to India’s GDP, which supported
approximately 37 million jobs, according to the World Travel and Tourism
Subhash Goyal, Chairman of STIC Travel
Group of Companies, said, “India has already taken the first step by
facilitating e-Tourist visa for many nationalities, including the US. Now, we
are expecting relaxation in the US visa norms and believe that the quota for
issuing visas will increase.” Goyal was former President of Indian Association
of Tour Operators.
The two countries are important travel
source markets for each other. The US was India’s largest source of foreign
tourists in 2015, over 1.2 million American visitors came to India, accounting
for 15 per cent of total foreign travellers. Visitors from the US are among the
top users of e-Tourist visa, according to the US government.
According to data from Brand USA, the
public-private partnership set up to promote the US as a travel destination,
India ranked 11th among the top 20 tourist-generating countries for the US in
2015 with 1,125,783 arrivals, an increase of 17 per cent over the previous
year. The US is eyeing 18.5 lakh Indian visitors by 2021. It also expects India
to become the 9th top source market for US inbound travel from current 11th
Rakshit Desai, Managing Director, India,
FCM Travel Solutions and Flight Shop, said, “We have seen a 22 per cent
increase in travel to the US over the last year. The US has always been an
aspirational destination in addition to being a Visiting Friends and Relatives
(VFR) and leisure travel market.”
Many States in the US, through their
visitors and convention bureaus, have also been organizing road shows to
attract Indians. “This is because Indians spend a lot of money on shopping and
are the highest spenders in many South East Asian countries,” Goyal added.
Prior to Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the
US in June, both the countries signed a MoU to facilitate India’s participation
in the Global Entry program, marking a significant milestone for the tourism and
“Global Entry will expedite travel for pre-approved, low-risk air
travellers to the US once they have applied and been approved for the Global
Entry program. We are currently working on the technical arrangements to bring
this program online for Indian travellers,” the US Ambassador to India Richard
Verma had said earlier.

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this book tells the fascinating story of the making of Walt Disney's groundbreaking animated classic. More than 250 artworks, including rarely seen concept sketches, background paintings, and cels illustrate the genius of Walt Disney and the creative vision of the artists who produced a beloved milestone in cinematic history.
In 1933, Walt Disney was a rising star in the world of animation, just beginning to become a household name. Ambitious new ideas emerged from the Disney studio on a regular basis, and the film world waited eagerly to see what the creative young filmmaker would do next. The answer surprised them all: a full-length animated feature film, based on the traditional tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The production took three years and the talents of many of Hollywood’s top artists . . . and, of course, created one of the best-loved classics of all time. This book, based on a ground-breaking exhibition of both familiar and never-before-seen art from the Walt Disney Animation Research Library, walks the reader scene by scene through the movie, accompanying the art with behind-the-scenes stories about the film’s production.
The book features over 200 pieces of art, many reproduced from original concept sketches, background paintings, and production cels, as well as alternate character concepts, deleted scenes, and step-by-step process shots.

The main symptom is head skin itching. As a result of development of allergy to parasite’s saliva and excrement, itching and tingling increase and they are the reasons of scratching. It is also an effect of lice bites resulting in micro wounds, visible irritations and even bacterial infection caused by wound contamination. Enlarged lymph glands could also be a symptom.
In some cases itching occurs after few weeks from infestation.
Stage 1- Examination
If there is a risk of head lice infestation (e.g. pediculosis at school), examine child’s hair at last twice a week. Use a fine-tooth comb in a well-lighted space and comb dividing hair into smaller sections. You can help yourself detecting parasites by using a white tissue. Lice live close to the scalp skin, behind ears and near the neckline at the back of the head. In case of full infestation, lice spread all over the head surface.
Stage 2- Carrying out the procedure
Choose a product which is highly efficient against nits and all developmental stages of lice after just a single use. The best would be a product with no need to re-apply. You should also check the hair of all members of your household and in case of detect pediculosis carry out treatment for all.
Stage 3 – What to clean after a lice infestation? Who should be informed?
Clean your house thoroughly with attention to surfaces like floors, furniture and carpets. Wash clothes, towels and bed linens in temp of 60° or with additive of Nitolic® Wash. It will keep the fabrics free from nits and provide an effective protection from re-infestation.
Once the lice are detected, try to forward the information to school principal or teachers and inform other parents of your children’s friends.
Stage 4 – Prevention of re-infestation
Apply lice prevention spray regularly. Use repellent spray even on daily basis if in your child nearest surrounding is a risk of pediculosis.
The most common symptom of head lice infestation is itchy scalp (pruritus). Sometimes, however, the head begins to itch a few weeks after infestation.

Restaurants are finding clever ways to duck California's new ban on selling foie gras (fwah-GRAH'), the engorged liver delicacy made by force-feeding birds.
A restaurant on a former military base owned by the National Park Service started serving the dish over the weekend. The Presidio Social Club claims its location on federal land exempts it from state regulations.
Elsewhere in California, restaurants are offering free foie gras with other orders. Some chefs will prepare the delicacy for customers who bring it in.
The law does not ban distributing or possessing foie gras.
San Francisco Animal Care and Control is investigating a restaurant for violating the ban on sales. But other local agencies in the state authorized to fine foie gras sellers say they don't plan to investigate restaurants for violations.

William Samuel Dunwoody must serve 19 years for Margaret Telford murder
A man who murdered a Belfast pensioner in 1988 has been told he must serve at least 19 years of his life sentence before he is considered for release.
William Samuel Dunwoody was convicted in June of the murder of 68-year-old Margaret Telford.
The pensioner was found dead in her Twaddell Avenue home on 4 February 1988. She had been strangled.
Dunwoody, 52, was originally from north Belfast but more recently had been living at an address in Birmingham.
On Friday, Belfast Crown Court heard that he finally admitted to the murder in a pre-sentence report.
The hearing was told that Mrs Telford, who was known as Peggy, knew her killer, having helped his family in her role as a family aid assistant in the 1980s.
The court heard that Dunwood was on parole for another offence when he went into her house, looking for money.
He attacked and killed the pensioner when she threatened to call the police.
Imposing the 19-year minimum tariff, the judge told him: "You killed someone who did you no harm, who showed you kindness and you thought you could get away with it."
Dunwoody was arrested and questioned about the murder as the result of a Police Service of Northern Ireland review of the case in 2011.
During the re-investigation, scrapings from under Mrs Telford's fingernails were sent for analysis and scientists uncovered Dunwoody's DNA profile on the samples.
A post-mortem examination concluded that as well as being choked with a ligature, there were injuries suggesting the pensioner had been assaulted around the face and head.
Following Friday's sentencing, Mrs Telford's son Peter said the family was now able to start a new life after a long wait for justice.
"It is like taking a breath of fresh air after holding your breath under water for a long time, you can breathe out," he said.
Mr Telford described his mother as a quiet, generous person who was good fun to be with.
Speaking outside the court, Det Insp Peter Montgomery said the Telford family had "endured unnecessary suffering over the past 25 years".
"At 68 years of age Peggy deserved to live in safety within the sanctuary of her own home. At the time of her death she was a widow, living alone and in poor health.
"However Samuel Dunwoody decided to exploit that by murdering a much loved mother, friend and neighbour."
Mr Montgomery said detectives from the PSNI's Serious Crime Review Team and Retrospective Major Investigation Team had received "fantastic support" from staff in the Forensic Science NI and the Public Prosecution Service during the re-investigation.
He added: "Today justice has been served for Peggy and serves as a reminder that although a large passage of time has elapsed police will regularly review cases and where there are new opportunities presented we will pursue them vigorously."

New Book: Hiroshima and Nagasaki: That We Never Forget
Left: The Hiroshima Peace Memorial, commonly called the Atomic Bomb Dome or A-Bomb Dome is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The ruin serves as a memorial to the people who were killed in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Over 70,000 people were killed instantly, and another 70,000 suffered fatal injuries from the radiation. Right: The Children's Peace Monument is a monument for peace to commemorate Sadako Sasaki and the thousands of child victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. This monument is located in Hiroshima, Japan. Sadako Sasaki, a young girl, died of leukemia from radiation of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August 1945.
Commemorating the 60th anniversary of Second Soka Gakkai President Josei Toda’s Declaration Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons in September 1957, Soka Gakkai has published a new book containing over 50 testimonies by hibakusha—A-bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Published by Daisanbunmei-sha, the book is a compilation by the Soka Gakkai Youth Division of interviews conducted by Soka Gakkai members between 2011 and 2015. The book details account of real-life experiences from the aftermath of nuclear weapons.
With the adoption at the United Nations of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons on July 7, 2017, and as the surviving hibakusha become fewer in number, it is important to share their firsthand accounts, and their desire for peace, more widely.
The e-book will be available on Amazon from September 1.
Below are two testimonies that are published in this book:

Director David Ayer wants to make Suicide Squad sequel
Here’s some good news for Hollywood fans: Suicide Squad is yet to hit theatres but filmmaker David Ayer already plans to make a sequel to the film as he loves the characters as much as we do!
“Look, it’s definitely the devil’s candy. I love high-stakes situations and I love the movie family we put together. I love this cast and I really love the world. I think it would be a lot of fun,” Deadline quoted Ayer as saying.
Watch Suicide Squad trailer
The director admits that he is nervous following a mixed response fans gave to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but feels confident he has got a hit on his hands following positive screenings. “I think the institutional lesson of Batman V Superman was, you have to put the film up for a large audience and see how it plays. I got the opportunity to do that a few times. I’m a big believer in audience testing. You have to listen to the audience. I think it really made the film a lot better,” he added.
Suicide Squad stars Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc and Jay Hernandez as El Diablo.
Set for an August release, Suicide Squad also features Cara Delevingne as Enchantress and Jared Leto as The Joker.

I spent 11 hours in the Herald's 2005 Subaru Outback on Thursday driving to Calgary. Once you hit six hours, the rest just seems to go by quickly. The six-hour mark gets you to Cranbrook, B.C., but the one-lane roads can slow your trip, especially if you get behind an RV or a truck and you have to drive 20 or 30 miles for a passing lane. The one-lane roads continue into Alberta, but the scenery is so beautiful, you almost don't mind slowing a bit to enjoy the majestic beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and the herds of deer and mountain goats.
Driving through Crowsnest Pass in the southwest corner of Alberta was incredible. The mountains were so impressive with a layer of snow and the Frank Slide is big and kind of scary looking, though it happened in 1903. There are miles of rocks that range from boulders to ones bigger than my car.
Once out of the mountains, I took a turn that led me toward the Black Diamond and Turner Valley area. I was now in the Alberta Prairies and the wind was howling. We have wind in the Tri-Cities, but this wind had tall grass plastered to the ground. In the wind department, the prairies rule. There also was quite a bit of snow across the prairies, but the roads were clear and dry.
A small town moment — I stopped for gas in a town called Nanton, about an hour or so south of Calgary. The man next to me at the pumps asked what I was doing so far from home. I told him. He wished the Americans luck — he's NOT a Hitmen fan. I asked how he knew about the Tri-Cities, and he said he used to be Bob Tory's neighbor along the river (or was that lake) in Cranbrook. Told me to tell Bob hi, but he never offered his name.
I made it into Calgary and to the hotel with no problems. Once I got here and got dinner, I wrote a WHL bantam draft story, watched hockey highlights on TSN. From the opposite side of my hotel, I could see the Calgary Tower, which is really pretty at night when all the lights are on.
It's also Mountain Time here in Calgary, so it's almost 10 a.m. I am headed to the Calgary Tower, which is about a 5-minute walk from my hotel. The sun is shining, though it is a bit chilly. I'll let you know how it is later.
Game time is 6:30 p.m. back in the Tri-Cities, so don't miss the first period. I can hardly wait to see the inside of the Saddledome. I will take a tour around the concourse and try and give you a glimpse of it later.

A Central Asian country with beautiful lakes and not just desert? Yes! That is what males Almaty so special. Almaty, once the capital of Kazakhstan is so modern that once you reach here it will be hard to fathom that nature’s beauty is close by and that there are such wonderful lakes near Almaty.
The fives lakes that I mention below are very close to the city and can be easily covered in a day tour if you plan it right. To tell you about these lakes in geographic terms, the Almaty region is surrounded by the Tien Shan mountain ranges. A large number of rivers flow down the slopes of them, forming some of the most stunning lakes in the country.
Below, are five of them which you should definitely include in your itinerary while planning a trip to Almaty.
Kaindy Lake is a very young lake, formed in 1911 when an earthquake triggered a landslide, which in turn led to a natural dam. Located at an altitude of 2,000 metres, this lake is known for its submerged forests. The main attraction of this lake is the dried out trunks of trees that rise out of the lake. It is a fascinating site, as after all these years the trees have not decayed.
In fact, the lake itself is very beautiful as it is limestone blue in colour and spread across about 400 metres. If you are visiting the lake during the summertime then you can dive and swim in it. However, during winters make sure you are fully covered up as it gets quite cold here.
2Kolsai Lake 1
Another lake closer to Lake Kaindy is Kolsai Lake. Over here you can camp or come over for just a day tour. The entire lake is surrounded by forests and the water is extremely clean and blue. You can also enjoy boating here, and it is also a perfect picnic spot.
Kolsai Lake is actually made up of three lakes located at different altitudes. These lakes are also collectively known as the Pearls of Northern Tien Shan. While Kolsai Lake 1 is located at 1,000 metres, for the other lakes you need to hike further up.
3Kolsai Lake 2
Kolsai Lake 2 is at an altitude of 2,500 metres. You have to hike from Lake 1 to Lake 2 through forest areas and grassy slopes. It takes about two to three hours to reach the lake and you will be surrounded by blue waters and snowy mountains. The lake is definitely worth the hike and you will also leave behind the crowds of tourists, as Kolsai Lake 1 generally gets crowded especially during the holidays. This lake is the perfect relaxing spot to enjoy the quiet.
4Big Almaty Lake
Located very close to the main city, Big Almaty Lake is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful lakes of Kazakhstan. I visited this lake during both the summer and the winter and the change in landscape was really surprising. During the winter season the entire lake was frozen and you can see nothing but white all around you. During the summertime, the real color of the lake came out and it felt like the lake is reflecting the color of the sky, as it was a stunning bright blue in color.
Situated at an altitude of 2,511 metres, there are three major peaks surrounding the lake – Sovetov, Ozyorny, and Turist. The lake can be reached either by taking a private car or hitchhiking, as a lot of locals also go here. You can also take a bus but it will only drop you halfway.
Esik, or Issyk, means door or a gorge. This lake is located in the Southeast region of the Alatau mountain range, this is among the prettiest lakes of Kazakhstan. It is situated at an altitude of 1700 metres and is said to be a very old lake, dating back 8,000 years. The lake is a unique turquoise in colour.
The lake was once formed naturally, but later destroyed due to an earthquake. The earthquake was so severe, that thousands of people were reported dead. However, due to the popularity of this lake, it was built back up and now you can see the man-made version of the previous natural lake.
Also Read: Is Travelling To Central Asia Safe?
Visiting Kazakhstan without exploring its lake is an incomplete tour. The lakes are so beautiful and so easily accessible that you should definitely not miss them. Usually such marvellous creations are so hidden amidst the nature that you can only hike up to see such places, however, Kazakhstan offers the liberty to visit each of them just by driving to them.

Topic: Space Nerds
This place needs a little Space Dementia.
Recently a private company achieved what so far only a few governments have been able to do - launch a spacecraft into orbit and return it safely to the earth. SpaceX launched its Dragon capsule on its Falcon 9 rocket last week and accomplished all its mission objectives without problems.
Why is this important? It marks a milestone in the commercialisation of space travel. More people looking into getting up there, especially into low earth orbit, means NASA and the others get to spend more resources on breakthrough technologies and less on doing stuff they're doing already for way too much money.
Technologies like SKYLON. A British venture (picture me now beaming with pride) that is a Single Stage To Orbit spaceplane, which takes off from a runway, accelarates to hypersonic speeds using air-breathing engines and then switches to a rocket engine (burning oxygen and hydrogen). It then goes into LEO, releasing satellite payloads or other stuff like supplies or personnel to the ISS, and then it goes through reentry and lands on a runway like the shuttle.
And video animation!
And yeah, next year marks the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's spaceflight. That's 50 years that us lovely animals with opposeable thumbs have been going into space (and 30 years since we've been using the shuttle transportation system). Oh, they grow up so fast.

The uterus or womb is part of the
The uterus is part the female reproductive system. Other structures and organs that are part of the reproduction system are the vagina, ovaries and fallopian tubes.
The uterus has four main parts. The fundus is the upper part of the uterus. It has a rounded shape. Another part of the uterus is the body. The uterotubal angles are the parts connected to the Fallopian tubes. The bottom part of the uterus is the cervix. The uterus has three layers. The outer layer is called the perimetrium. It is a thin layer that surrounds the outside of the uterus. The perimetrium is made of tissue made of epithelial cells. The middle layer is the myometrium. Most of the uterus is made up of the myometrium. The layer on the inside is the endometrium. The endometrium is made of secretory, ciliated, and basal cells. The uterus is not in the same place for all women. It is tilted forward in most women. Other women have a uterus that tilts up or backwards.

What are the best ways to stay fit while visiting Madrid? During the Summer months, it is likely that working out gets pushed onto the back burner of your priorities. The thought of exercise probably isn’t going to be the most appealing. Luckily, Madrid has an abundance of different physical fitness activities that you can participate in; none of them require spending time crammed into a gym with tons of other people.
Find people who enjoy what you enjoy! Whether you like to run, hike, swim, or skate, there are guaranteed to be groups of other people who do the same. Having a few “fitness buddies” will help you with motivation. Plus, it makes the thought of getting exercise a lot more fun because it doesn’t even feel like working out.
Try out a sports club! You will be able to stay active while also meeting new people. Being around likeminded individuals will create a balance of work and play into your life. If you are unsure of which club to join, there are hundreds of forums on the internet that show where the different clubs are and the hours that people meet up.
Look into group classes. Yoga and dance are two great ways to stay in shape while also putting an emphasis on fun. Some classes even occur outdoors giving a very relaxing feel to the workout. These activities are suitable for most age groups, and they also vary in skill level so that you will be able to pick a class that suits your needs.
Getting the whole family involved in fitness is another way to make working out seem like more fun. Do group activities and set up goals with a reward system. Once everyone is involved in a healthy lifestyle, It will become second nature to feel active and determined.
5 sports to try out this summer
Just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean you should leave your workout routine behind. Find the fitness routine that works for you: Madrid offers every kind of workout class you can think of. Here’s how to stay fit while you’re traveling in Madrid.

2 (.77-ounce) envelopes instant cappuccino coffee mix or 1/4 cup other instant flavored coffee mix
9 tablespoons frozen vanilla yogurt
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine first 5 ingredients in a 9-inch square baking pan, and stir well. Add milk, oil, and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Stir in chocolate morsels. Combine brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa; sprinkle over batter. Combine water and coffee mix, stirring to dissolve. Pour coffee mixture over batter; do not stir. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Serve warm with 1 tablespoon frozen yogurt.
I've been making this recipe since it was first published in Cooking Light. It's delish and my favorite dessert when served with vanilla bean ice cream. Now that I have a young child, I leave out the coffee so that it's just chocolate, and it's just as tasty. We often make this when we have friends over or need to take a dessert. Just make sure that you use the specified pan (vs. larger) and don't overcook or it will be a bit dry. You also need to leave time for it to set if you want the pudding consistency; right out of the oven, the pudding is more like chocolate sauce.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee boosted its target for short-term interest rates Thursday by a quarter percentage point to 3.25% and signaled further rate hikes are coming. The Federal Reserve's policymaking committee left its post-meeting statement largely unchanged from May. The committee said current rates remain "accommodative" and said once again that it believes rates can be raised at a "measured pace." The FOMC said the risks of higher inflation and weaker growth would remain balanced if appropriate policies are followed. The vote was unanimous.

It’s one of the features of Google Glass — you can stream the video of people wearing the computer-in-your-eyewear “glasses.”
So what if you gave them to a player during warm-ups, a cheerleader, a sideline reporter and others at an NBA game?
We will find out Friday night as the Sacramento Kings host the Indiana Pacers with their Google Glass Game — some of the streaming images from the glasses will be shown on the jumbotron at Sleep Train Arena.The video above is from a test run the Kings did on Jan. 12, including having Derrick Williams and Rudy Gay wear them in warm-ups.
The entire process is powered by CrowdOptic, which according to a press release is “a software platform which analyzes the real-time Google Glass feeds and curates them by their subject matter and quality, exporting only the highest quality live footage to the arena scoreboard.” Not really sold this is the wave of the future, but it could be interesting for a night.

At the present time, there are so many people who are sick of the rising air pollution around them. Air pollution occurs because the number of vehicles that remove gas and produce smoke that is very bad for the environment and even health. One vehicle that can replace a vehicle is usually an electric scooter. With these vehicles, then you will not contribute much air pollution in your environment.
The existence of many vehicles and the smoke it causes will make your breathing worse and you will get a very bad air for health. There are several diseases that you can feel if you are always exposed to the number of air polsui.
– Lung Irritation
Particulate Matter (PM) type pollution has great potential for damaging body tissues. Children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable to the effects of these pollutants, so in areas with unusual traffic density or air pollution, it can affect respiratory tract diseases and heart disease. According to World Bank research results, PM can trigger inflammation of the lungs or systematic and cause damage to blood vessel endothelial. Long-term effects can also trigger the formation of lung cancer.
The short-term or acute impact of ozone pollution can induce inflammation or inflammation of the lungs and interfere with lung and cardiovascular defense functions (heart and blood vessels). In addition it can induce the occurrence of asthma, even fibroxy lung. Epidemiological studies in humans also show, high ozone exposure can increase the number of asthma attacks.
– Lung cancer
The particle components in the air consist of sulfate, nitrate, ammonia, sodium, chloride, and mineral dust. If exposed to a combination of these elements on an ongoing basis, may increase the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, such as lung cancer. This is also the result of pollution

Colomba Furio-Spigner, author of Francesco’s Song: A Story of Love, War and Survival and resident of Plandome Manor, will be on PATV Channel 20 Access Spotlight on Fridays and Mondays in March at 5:50 p.m. for a discussion of her book.
The novel, based on letters and wartime documents found in the author’s family home, is a moving portrayal of the struggles of the Italian people during the war years and the customs that bound them. The novel is set amidst the drama of Fascist Italy and is the gripping story of one man’s struggle to survive.
Furio-Spigner is a technologist and educator. She holds a doctorate from New York University, where she researched the cultural background of Italian immigrant women and its impact on the unionization movement in the New York City Garment Industry and published several scholarly articles on this topic. She was an information technology professional on Wall Street for over 10 years where she worked as a programmer and systems analyst before making a transition into teaching. She taught for more than 28 years with the New York City Department of Education and continues to teach part-time. An avid photographer and artist, she lives in Plandome Manor with her husband, Matthew, and sons, Michael and Frank.
Inspired by family history, Furio-Spigner tells the poignant story of young Francesco as he grows up in the small seaside town of Mola di Bari. The saga of birth, love and death in rural southern Italy unfolds as the country is pulled into the cataclysm of world events. Francesco’s carefree youth ends when the oratory of Mussolini and the pervasive false sense of patriotism seduce him and he joins the military police of the Italian armed forces, the Carabinieri Reali. Stationed in Yugoslavia and later in Milan, he finds everything he treasures threatened as he confronts events during the war and witnesses firsthand the destruction of his homeland. Fleeing the occupying Nazis, Francesco is sheltered by sympathizers of a growing resistance movement. He enters the darkest period of his youth, in which his only dream is to be reunited with his family and Francesca, the love of his life.
Francesco’s Song: A Story of Love, War and Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book.
