For many international watch enthusiasts, the name Grand Seiko refers to modern and innovative luxury watches – Spring Drive technology is largely responsible for this impression. The brand really started to communicate and sell outside of its home market only a decade ago, hence the association with “modern watchmaking”. However, there’s so much more to learn about this brand that was created back in 1960 and has been producing some of the finest watches the Japanese archipelago has ever seen. This year, the brand celebrates its 60th anniversary and what could have been a better tribute than revisiting the first-ever watch to bear the name Grand Seiko? Let’s take a closer look at the new Grand Seiko Elegance 1960 Re-Creations.
THE FIRST-EVER GRAND SEIKO
Although the international launch of Grand Seiko took place in 2010, the name actually dates back to 1960. That year, the already well-established Japanese brand Seiko decided to consolidate the best of its production in a single watch, hence the name “grand” added in front of Seiko. A team in Seiko’s Suwa facility in central Japan had been working on the creation of a watch that would be the epitome of precision, durability, comfort and beauty.
The result, launched on 18 December 1960, is the watch you can see above; a classic piece in a 35mm, yellow gold (14k) case with a slim chronometer-rated movement whose precision met the highest international standard of the time. This watch also established the foundation of the brand’s design codes, which includes the sharp faceted hands, the double hour markers and the famous polishing technique that makes the Grand Seiko cases so attractive.
This watch was celebrated at Baselworld 2017 with three limited-edition reissues, the SBGW251, SBGW252 & SBGW253 – which have been explored in detail here. Since these watches were sold out and the brand is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2020, it was the perfect moment to see this beautiful and elegant design as a permanent member of the collection and not limited in production.
A closer look at the 2020 Grand Seiko 1960 Re-Creations
As such, these three watches, references SBGW257, SBGW258 and SBGW259, aren’t entirely new to Grand Seiko fans, as they use the same recipe that was used in 2017.
Case, dial layout and movement are the same too but some details in the materials and colours have changed to create a trilogy that stands out from the previous limited editions. So let’s take a closer look, as we were one of the first to have the opportunity to see these watches in the metal – just like we did with another 2020 introduction, the Seiko Prospex 62MAS Re-Creation.
In today’s article, we’ll only introduce you to the platinum (SBGW257) and the titanium version (SBGW259), as the yellow gold model (SBGW258) wasn’t available yet. However, it is almost identical to the reference SBGW252 introduced in 2017, except that it now features a sapphire caseback and a three-fold clasp
ELegant Case and restrained proportions
The basic idea with this new trilogy of watches was to pay a faithful tribute to the watch that actually launched Grand Seiko back in 1960, yet with a slightly modernized package. You won’t be surprised then to see that most of the design elements of the 1960 “Diashock” watch have been reutilized, starting with the case.
What’s surprising when you look at the first-ever Grand Seiko is how most of GS design codes were already there… The hands, the polished surfaces, the shapes, the indexes, this first austere look that is very lively in reality… This watch was the foundation of the whole GS success and the brand has kept it alive since then, with no drastic alteration of its design.
The case is shaped almost identically shaped in the 2020 trilogy of 1960 Re-Creations. The thin smooth bezel, the elongated, slightly bulky lugs with rounded profile and bevel and the sleek profile all make the filiation undeniable. The main evolution doesn’t concern the shape but the size. Instead of a slightly outdated and very-1960s diameter of 35mm, Grand Seiko has opted for a diameter of 38mm. In all fairness, this remains very compact and sets the tone for these watches, which have to be considered proper dress timepieces – a sort of Calatrava, the Japanese way. As often with Grand Seiko, the case could have been thinner but at just under 11mm in height, the thickness remains acceptable.
This elegant case is, as said, available in three variants, from high-end platinum to classic yellow gold or surprisingly modern and light titanium. Although the two precious metal versions were somehow anticipated, the choice for the “entry-level” model is more unanticipated. While we’re used to seeing stainless steel, Grand Seiko opts here for its “Brilliant Hard Titanium”, an equivalent to grade 5 that allows for polished surfaces.
The case is finished in the typical Grand Seiko way, meaning superb distortion-free surfaces obtained via the Zaratsu (blade polishing) technique. The watches, whether platinum or titanium, have a handsome lustre and shine. All models are worn on classic and elegant rolled-edge crocodile strap (black on platinum, brown on gold and blue on titanium), closed by a triple-folding clasp in matching material.
On the wrist, these watches are compact, elegant yet with some character. They might be simple 3-handers, the reflections from the case (and the dial/hands, more on that later) offer an outstanding presence. On an 18cm wrist like here, there can be no doubt about their elegant vocation. Depending on the metal chosen, the sensation is slightly different, the platinum model offers a “weight of quality” feel while the lightweight titanium version goes unnoticed after a few minutes.
Typical GS dial and hands
The dials of these 1960 Re-Creations are unmistakably Grand Seiko. You’ll recognize the brand immediately, even without a logo printed on the dial. Once again everything feels like the original 1960 model, down to the return of the “Diashock xx jewels” mention at 6 o’clock, except that the movement is different, and now “24 jewels” is printed instead of “25 jewels”.
Hands and indexes are executed in the traditional, hyper-detailed Grand Seiko way. This means perfectly finished mirror-polished surfaces, changing from bright metallic to almost black reflections depending on the angle of the ambient light. The hands feature ultra-sharp polished bevels and the indexes are identical to the 1960 model – double-faceted batons, slightly wider at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.
Each metal has its own dial here. The platinum version is equipped with an equally precious dial, made of solid 18k white gold, with a sunray-brushed finish and the Grand Seiko logo engraved into the material. It is paired with silver-coloured hands. The 18k yellow gold model has a warm silver dial with a matte opaline surface and all the elements are made from 18k yellow gold too (hands, indexes and applied logo). Finally, the titanium version opts for a more casual look with a brushed top surface of the hands and a sunray deep blue dial with a printed logo.
Legibility and contrast are great on both models we had for this review and the execution, whether on the high-end platinum SBGW257 or the more accessible titanium SBGW259 are as expected from Grand Seiko… Stunningly precise.
a well-known hand-wound Movement
To power this trilogy of 1960 Re-Creation, Grand Seiko didn’t look too far and picked a well-known movement, the hand-wound calibre 9S64, manufactured in-house.
This movement is a tried-and-tested base that has a great track record. It was already used in the 2017 limited edition trilogy and powers one of our favourite Grand Seiko watches, the compact and elegant SBGW231 that we reviewed here. In short, we’re in family territory with a movement introduced into the Grand Seiko line in 2011.
This 9S64 is one of the few hand-wound mechanical movements in the GS collection – even though the brand has now introduced more hand-wound mechanical (with this same movement) and Spring-Drive watches. As such, it honours its 1960 predecessor equipped with calibre 3180, a manual-winding, 25-jewel, chronometer-grade movement.
The Calibre 9S64 is a pretty straightforward engine that is capable of storing 72 hours of power reserve from a single mainspring and that beats at a classical frequency of 4Hz. However, it is a very precise movement too, with an accuracy of +5 to –3 seconds per day and an adjustment in 6 positions. The look is simple, with a large main bridge, yet with nice decoration. The sapphire caseback has a discreet Grand Seiko Lion transferred on its surface.
Thoughts, Availability & Price
While not a total surprise, as they are quite close to the 2017 trilogy, Grand Seiko made the right decision to bring back this design as a permanent member of the collection, in order to offer a genuine dress watch with vintage touches. The three models are elegant, greatly proportioned and perfectly executed, with a slight preference for the lightweight and more casual take offered by this surprising titanium version – a material often seen on sports watches, rarely on such an elegant piece.
The three Grand Seiko Elegance 1960 Re-Creation watches will be available as of June 2020 worldwide, as permanent members of the collection. The platinum SBGW257 will be priced at EUR 39,000, the 18k yellow gold SBGW258 at EUR 27,000 and the titanium SBGW259 at EUR 8,300. More details at grand-seiko.com.

Ekiti State Government has reached an agreement with the organised labour on the implementation of the new minimum wage and consequential adjustment for civil servants, as well as the judiciary, local government and health workers.
Part of the agreement stated that the implementation of the consequential adjustment commences this month.
This resulted from a series of meetings labour leaders had with government negotiation team Governor Kayode Fayemi before the end of last year.
In the new agreement, the parties agreed that the salaries of civil servants should be adjusted.
Adjustment for grade levels 13 to 17 would be implemented based on recommendations of the Economic Review Committee (ERC), which would comprise labour and government representatives as allocation improves, while implementation for grade levels 07 to 12 will commence this month.
Implementation of the new minimum wage for workers on grade levels 01 to 06 began since October 2019.
It was also agreed that government would not retrench, victimise or intimidate any worker, as a result of the implementation of the new wage and labour leaders would not be sanctioned for their role during the negotiations.
“It was jointly signed that the agreement has ended the agitations on minimum wage and consequential adjustment for officers on grade levels 01 to 12 and shall be implemented for officers on level 13 and above without prejudice,” the document stated.
Head of Service (HoS), Mrs. ‘Peju Babafemi, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Labour Matters, Oluyemi Esan and Permanent Secretary, Office of Establishments and Service Matters, Bayo Opeyemi signed for the state government.
Chairman, Joint Negotiating Council, Kayode Fatomiluyi, Secretary, Gbenga Olowoyo, Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Kolapo Olatunde, NLC Secretary, Akinyemi Taiwo, Chairman, Trade Union Congress (TUC), Sola Adegun and Secretary, Lawrence Kulogun signed for labour.
Babafemi expressed gratitude to the state government for creating a conducive and peaceful environment for Ekiti workers.
She pointed out that Ekiti was blessed with cerebral, hardworking and diligent officers in the public service, who are ready to deliver on government agenda and promises to the Ekiti people.
On his part, Fatomiluyi said the journey towards signing the agreement was hectic and involved serious brainstorming sessions, adding, however, that he was happy that government and labour finally arrived at a conclusion.
“Organised labour have confidence in Governor Fayemi that he will keep his words and we believe that what we have signed the agreement in the best interest of Ekiti workers and the labour movement,” he added.For information on Press Releases, Photos, Promotional Events and Adverts, Please message us on WhatsApp via (+234) 09052129258, 08124662170 or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.org.

A more powerful 6.6kW AC charger is expected to be available for the long-range Nexon EV to reduce charging time with the larger battery.
Tata Motors is working on a long-range version of the Nexon EV, which has been spotted testing on our roads recently. The long-range Tata Nexon EV is expected to hit the market in April, according to sources. The updated Nexon EV will have a larger battery and a few other mechanical improvements, but we don’t expect any significant cosmetic changes.
- Tata Nexon EV to get a larger 40kWh battery pack
- Expected to get a more powerful 6.6kW AC charger
- Price announcement by April this year
Long-Range What’s New with The Tata Nexon EV?
This new version of the Nexon EV will have a larger 40kWh battery pack, as we exclusively reported in December of last year. This is 30% larger than the current Nexon EV’s battery pack, which is 30.2kWh. The Nexon EV currently has an ARAI-certified range of 312 kilometres, indicating that the larger battery pack could deliver a range of over 400 kilometres on the official test cycle.
A more powerful charger could be another notable upgrade for the long-range Nexon EV. The long-range Nexon EV will be available with a more powerful 6.6kW AC charger, according to leaked information on social media. The Nexon EV is currently available with a 3.3kW AC charger that takes about 10 hours to fully charge the battery. Of course, a larger battery will take longer to charge. Tata may offer a 6.6kW AC charger as an option to combat this, though the current 3.3kW AC charger is expected to be retained.
The Nexon EV’s floor pan will have to be modified to accommodate the larger battery pack, and the boot space is expected to be sacrificed. Given that EVs are becoming more popular, and EV buyers will demand more from their vehicles than just being a city runabout, it’s a fair trade-off for greater range.
The updated Nexon EV is expected to have disc brakes on all four corners, as the SUV will become heavier as a result of the larger battery pack, necessitating more stopping power. New, selectable regen modes that change the intensity of regenerative braking, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and a new design for the alloy wheels are all possible updates. However, we do not anticipate any other significant exterior or interior cosmetic updates.
Tata Nexon EV will be Sold Alongside The Current Model
The Nexon EV long-range version is expected to cost between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 4 lakh more than the current model. Tata Motors will, however, continue to offer the current model alongside the long-range version in order to maintain different price points and meet the needs of different buyers.
The current Nexon EV’s biggest selling point is undoubtedly its well-balanced price-to-range ratio, which has found a sweet spot among early electric vehicle adopters. It’s significantly less expensive than other electric SUVs on the market and meets all of the requirements for a city runabout. Meanwhile, the long-range version will be more expensive, but it will have a broader appeal and usability, attracting a new set of buyers.
Long-Range Expected Price and Competitors for The Tata Nexon EV
The Nexon EV is expected to cost between Rs 17 lakh and Rs 18 lakh (ex-showroom). This means it will continue to be cheaper than competitors like the Hyundai Kona Electric and MG ZS EV, which are imported as CKD (completely knocked down) kits.
The MG ZS EV, on the other hand, is due for an update this month, which will include a larger battery. As a result, it should be able to put some distance between itself and the updated Nexon EV once more. While Hyundai will launch the Kona Electric facelift in India later this year, it is unclear whether it will include a larger battery. If not, the Kona Electric and the updated Nexon EV will have very similar specifications, but the Nexon EV will have a price advantage.


Statistical Theories of Binary Ordering
Order–disorder phenomena in alloys and magnetic crystals can be analyzed by statistical theories, assuming that the lattice structure plays no significant role. Lattice vibrations and symmetry are therefore implicit in thermodynamic functions in these theories. Restricted in mean-field accuracy, the statistical theory has only limited access to experimental details, for which a different approach is needed beyond the probability concept. In ordering processes, the lattice stability is an important issue, but statistical theories cannot deal with symmetry changes. Nevertheless, in this chapter, we review existing theories because the probability concept is still useful for simplifying the problem. Characterized by a random process, statistical theories are valid in some aspects of ordering processes, leaving symmetry-related problems to different studies.

A much-used word, Karma is loosely understood as a system of checks and balances in our lives, of good actions and bad deeds, of good thoughts and bad intentions. A system which seemingly ensures that at the end of the day one gets what one deserves. This grossly over-simplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living.
Through this book, not only does Sadhguru explain what Karma is and how we can use its concepts to enhance our lives, he also tells us about the Sutras, a step-by-step self help & self improvement guide to navigating our way in this challenging world. In the process, we get a deeper, richer understanding of life and the power to craft our destinies.

I feel so free, for the first time in my life I have never felt this alive. I am off 14 medications and my mind is regaining its memory. My new knee has absolutely healed with no pain meds and no inflammation. I am totally out of congested heart failure and loving my new doctors for respecting my wishes. I have to admit that I have not been 100% faithful to the food suggestions, but I am clear about the fluid intake and have maintained that. Thank you so very much for all your patience and I do appreciate your honesty. I just could not imagine where I would be today if I hadn't had you to coach me through this all. At 79 years old I have started a new life! BH Suffield(2011)
To start, let me be very clear on this important point; Jeri saved my life. I had a MRSA infection that became resistant to every antibiotic the doctors threw at it. After 8 straight months of these toxic antibiotics, the doctors gave up. I seemed to be a lost cause in the eyes of western medicine. It was either find a cure myself or live in pain. And if the MRSA spread into my blood stream, death was likely. I became extremely proactive for my own wellbeing. After tons of research and failed “natural” remedies I came across the theories of alkaline/acid. Researching alkalinity further brought me to Jeri Reid and the science of “Blood Terrain Microscopy.” After a session with her I found my blood to be riddled with yeast and bacteria. Immediately I was put on a 4 month cleanse to change the acidic environment my body had become from eating a standard American diet and living a standard American lifestyle. Within 2 months the MRSA was completely gone! My doctor was shocked! By eating right and following some basic lifestyle changes, I did what western medicine failed to do, rid myself of MRSA! I am now over 5 months into living alkaline and feeling better everyday. I honestly feel like my eyes have been opened to the real meaning of health. Jeri Reid is truly a healer. She was there for me every step of the way. I can’t thank her enough… Sincerely,AD Colchester(2010)
Dear Jeri, My family is very appreciative for your help with getting Bob back to health. His colon cancer, ulcerated colon etc is completely gone and he feels great. He is pretty much back to normal! We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts because without you, we may not have him here with us today. I share your information with everyone I meet. Much love to you, Paula, kids and of course, BA Norwalk, CT(2005)
Hi Jeri, Just dropping a note to let you know, I feel great! I have lost those 15 extra pounds and my skin has totally cleared up. Many thanks for the ongoing support. XOXO SG Somers (2007)

Examining the Causes and Symptoms of Atelectasis
Atelectasis refers to the partial or full collapse of a part of the lung or the entire lung. It is one of the most common respiratory complications after surgery. The condition happens when the alveoli in the lung become deflated or filled with alveolar fluid. Sometimes, atelectasis also stems as a result of other respiratory disorders, such as lung tumors, cystic fibrosis, chest injuries, respiratory weakness, or fluid accumulation in the lung. It may also happen if the patient breathes in an unwanted foreign particle.
Causes and Symptoms of Atelectasis
Atelectasis is caused due to the obstruction in the airway or pressure on the air sacs from the outside. It is seen that general anesthesia is a common cause of the condition, which changes the breathing patterns and affects the exchange of lung gases, thereby leading to the deflation of the alveoli. That is why most people experience some form of atelectasis post-surgery, especially heart bypass surgery.
Obstructive atelectasis can also happen due to the buildup of mucus in the airways after surgery. This is because the drugs administered during the procedure make the patient breathe less deeply, which leads to excessive mucus secretion in the airways. While suctioning the lungs during surgery helps to remove mucus, it may still cause breathing troubles in children and people with severe asthma or cystic fibrosis, leading to atelectasis.
In the case of non-obstructive atelectasis, it may happen due to a serious chest injury because of a fall or car accident, which prevents the patient from taking deep breaths. This gradually leads to the compression of the lungs and causes other breathing complications. Conditions like pneumonia, pleural effusion, bronchiectasis, scarring of lung tissue, tumor in the lung, and other lung infections can also cause atelectasis. Contact Complete Care Community Health Clinic to discuss your risk factors.
Pneumothorax, a condition where air leaks into the gap between the chest wall and lungs, is also seen to make the lung collapse. Other than that, weak breathing muscles because of a spinal cord injury, rib fracture, muscular dystrophy, or any other neuromuscular condition can also elevate the risks of atelectasis.
Atelectasis generally makes breathing very difficult for the patient, especially for those who already have a lung disease. In most cases, there are no clear signs of the condition, but some patients experience symptoms like rapid, shallow breathing, cough, wheezing, difficulty in swallowing, etc. The treatment of atelectasis depends upon the cause and severity of the lung collapse, which is why we recommend you see a CCCHC doctor if you experience any kind of breathing difficulty post-surgery.

Dr. Brat directs a basic and translational research lab that investigates mechanisms of glioma progression, including contributions of genetics, tumor microenvironment, and stem cells. One central focus has been to uncover mechanisms by which hypoxia develops in malignant gliomas and to demonstrate its downstream functional significance. Investigations of vaso-occlusion and intravascular thrombosis within malignant gliomas have suggested they are initiators and propagators of hypoxia, necrosis, and hypoxia-induced microvascular hyperplasia, which in turn drive neoplastic expansion rapidly outward. His research takes aim at the unproven and unsatisfying concept that “cancers outgrow their blood supply” and suggests that cancers grow in a manner that compromises their perfusion. He also studies mechanisms that confer specialized biologic properties to glioma stem cells (GSCs). The Drosophila brain tumor (brat) gene normally regulates asymmetric cellular division and neural progenitor differentiation in the CNS of flies and, when mutated, leads to a massive brain containing only neuroblastic cells with tumor-like properties. Dr. Brat studies the human orthologs of brat, as well as other related genes, that regulate asymmetric cell division and stem-like properties in GSCs. He has initiated an In Silico Center for Brain Tumor Research to investigate molecular correlates of pathologic, radiologic, and clinical features of human gliomas using comprehensive genomic databases, including as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), and bioinformatics approaches. Using datasets and image analysis algorithms, he studies whether elements of the tumor microenvironment, such as necrosis, angiogenesis, and inflammatory infiltrates, correlate with gene expression subtypes, genetics, or microRNA expression.

The first Southern Roots Bluegrass and Arts Festival is coming the Putnam County Fairgrounds on June 4 and 5.
Southern Accents Market Events Co-Director Mandy White said being in the south, Bluegrass is always a hit. White said that after a tough 2020, it was the right music to get the community together to support Putnam pride.
“With COVID and all and a lot of the things that went on in our community, tornado for example,” White said. “We just feel like we had a lot of negative things happen with everything lately.”
White said the community fun will help raise money for Putnam County Veterans Hall and the Adult and Teen Challenge of the Upper Cumberland. White said veterans and addiction are topics that effect so many of us and were the right fit to benefit.
She said starting from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, people will hear local music, eat local food and see local crafts. White said that admission is $5 and people will pay at the gate.
“We just feel like there was a lot of negative things happen with everything lately,” White said. “I thought, you know being in the south we all love bluegrass and it would be a good way for the community to come together. We’re supporting local vendors that will be there, local musicians that will be there.”
White said that music will range from bluegrass to indie, with food ranging from BBQ to Cajun. She said the local crafts will feature nearly anything you can imagine, that can be handmade.
“From candles to woodwork, repurposed furniture, metal work, jewelry, anything you can think of,” White said. “We even have vendors that have little dog treats that are handmade and bowls and things to decorate up for your dog.”
White said there is an indoor stage available, so the show should go on even if it rains. Tickets are $5 at the gate for anyone 10 years and older.
The Southern Roots Bluegrass and Arts Festival is on June 4 and 5 from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM at the Putnam County Fairgrounds.

Josie DipboyeElwood Call Leader, 7 Nov 1914
BRIGHT LIFE HAS CLOSED- THE LOSS IS DEEPLY FELT
Miss Josie Dipboye Passed Away Suddenly Last Evening. Universal sorrow was expressed throughout the city early last evening when the news rapidly spread that Miss Josie Dipboye, a young lady who counted her friends in the city by the hundred, had been claimed by the Angel of death at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. John W. Dipboye, 1820 South B street.
Several months ago her health began failing and in April at Bluffton, she underwent an operation. For a time it was thought that this had proved successful and she returned to Elwood where she spent the summer at home, seeming to be gradually regaining her strength. Only a few days ago her condition became suddenly worse. Peritonitis developed and despite the frantic effort to serve her, the bright and beautiful life came to a close at 4 o'clock last evening.A Beautiful Life.
The deceased who died at the age of 21 years, had spent her entire life in Elwood. She passed through the grade and high schools here and graduated as one of the first members of her class in 1911. She had always been ambitious to succeed and with the idea of preparing herself to take up the profession of teaching, she later entered the state normal school at Terre Haute. After finishing her work there she returned to Elwood and taught at the Coon Valley school 5 miles south of the city last winter, meeting with great success in her work there. It was about the time of the closing of the school that her health began failing and the operation followed in April.
There are few lives more beautiful than that lived by Miss Dipboye. In school, at home or among her friends, she was always the same, anxious to please, conscientious in everything she did and a young lady who enjoyed the highest respect and the sincere friendship of everyone who came under her influence. That such a life of promise should end so early is indeed a heavy loss. Her parents, two brothers, John and Ollie and one sister, Miss Nila Pannas, survive her. The funeral will be held at the home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment will follow in the city cemetery.
[Elwood Call Leader, 7 Nov 1914]

It was confirmed by the studies of a researcher in Tel Aviv University that breakfast helps losing weight and reduces risks of diabetes, hypertension and cardiac problems
With a hope to lose weight or to stay healthy, we think it is very crucial what we eat. But researches in Tel Aviv University found that it's not just what you eat - but when.
Metabolism is impacted by the body's circadian rhythm - the biological process that the body follows over a 24 hour cycle. So the time of day we eat can have a big impact on the way our bodies process food, those who eat their largest daily meal at breakfast are far more likely to lose weight and waist line circumference than those who eat a large dinner.
And the benefits went far beyond pounds and inches. Participants who ate a larger breakfast – even a dessert item such as a piece of chocolate cake or a cookie - also had significantly lower levels of insulin, glucose, and triglycerides throughout the day, translating into a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. These results, published recently in the journal Obesity, indicate that proper meal timing can make an important contribution towards managing obesity and promoting an overall healthy lifestyle.
Breakfast makes the difference
To determine the impact of meal timing on weight loss and health, Prof. Jakubowicz and her fellow researchers conducted a study in which 93 obese women were randomly assigned to one of two isocaloric groups. Each consumed a moderate-carbohydrate, moderate-fat diet totaling 1,400 calories daily for a period of 12 weeks. The first group consumed 700 calories at breakfast, 500 at lunch, and 200 at dinner. The second group ate a 200 calorie breakfast, 500 calorie lunch, and 700 calorie dinner. The 700 calorie breakfast and dinner included the same foods.
By the end of the study, participants in the "big breakfast" group had lost an average of 17.8 pounds each and three inches off their waist line, compared to a 7.3 pound and 1.4 inch loss for participants in the "big dinner" group. According to Prof. Jakubowicz, those in the big breakfast group were found to have significantly lower levels of the hunger-regulating hormone ghrelin, an indication that they were more satiated and had less desire for snacking later in the day than their counterparts in the big dinner group.

AREVA NP supplied Rosatom with its safety instrumentation and control (I&C) system for its installation within unit 1 of the Novovoronezh-2*Russian nuclear power plant, which has been connected to the grid recently. AREVA NP supplied the digital reactor protection system based on the company’s proven I&C platform TELEPERM XS. The system helps ensuring the safe condition of the reactor at any times by comprehensively monitoring all relevant data like temperature, pressure and radiation throughout the plant. In the case of unusual occurrences, the system brings the reactor automatically into safe shut-down mode.
“Rosatom has positive experience of cooperation with AREVA in I&C development both for new construction and modernization of operating NPP units in Russia. By the order of the Russian I&C system integrator, AREVA manufactured and supplied safety I&C equipment for Leningrad NPP-2 and Novovoronezh NPP-2, and I&C components for modernization of Kola NPP, Units 3 and 4. The long-term cooperation between Rosatom and AREVA opens a prospect for successful implementation of the future international projects in the area of automation systems, promising that the know-how of our partners will be in high demand with our future Customers”, emphasized Kirill Komarov, First Deputy CEO for Corporate Development and International Business at ROSATOM.
“The project marks another highlight of the continuing collaboration with our Russian partners in the field of safety I&C solutions. It demonstrates our capability to support the Russian reactor designs with our TELEPERM XS technology, both for new build and modernization projects”, said Frédéric Lelièvre, Senior Vice President Sales Regional Platforms and I&C at AREVA NP.
Over the last decades AREVA NP has acquired extensive experience in implementing safety I&C systems in more than 80 plants in 16 countries. For the Russian new build program, AREVA NP supplied the digital reactor protection system to new build reactors in Russia, China and Slovakia and completed several modernization projects in Russia, Hungary, Slovakia and Finland.
*Novovoronesh-2 is a nuclear power plant that will comprise four pressurized water reactors. The first unit is a VVER-1200/392M type and was connected to grid in 2016. It has an installed net capacity of 1114 megawatt and is situated in the South-West of Russia.

In a major development, former Karnataka Chief Minister, Kumaraswamy has ruled out a pre-poll alliance with the Congress. The former alliance partners will, therefore, contest independently in the upcoming polls in all the 17 Assembly constituencies which have fallen vacant after the recent political developments in Karnataka which had led to the disqualification of 17 MLAs belonging to the Congress and the JD(S) by the then Speaker K R Ramesh Kumar.
It must be noted that Kumaraswamy addressed a party rally at K R Pet, Mandya district, where the former chief minister broke down and became emotional. During this rally, there were loud protests against any tie-up with the Congress. Kumaraswamy also said that stiff resistance within his party forced him to take the decision of fielding his party nominees from the 17 constituencies. He said, “I did not feel bad when I quit as Chief Minister after the motion of confidence was defeated because of the absence of these 17 rebels.”
HD Kumaraswamy targeted disqualified legislator Narayana Gowda and held him responsible for the fall of the Congress-JD(S) government. It must be noted that Narayana Gowda had stepped up his attack against JD (S) patriarch, HD Deve Gowda and other JD (S) leaders after turning rebel. Kumaraswamy has also ruled out the possibility of his son, Nikhil Kumaraswamy, returning to electoral politics during the upcoming by-polls. He said that a party worker would be fielded from the K R Pet assembly seat in order to teach Narayana Gowda a lesson.
It must be noted that after several days of political drama, the Congress-JD(S) coalition government which had come to power last year finally fell. Kumaraswamy lost the trust vote 105-99 in favour of the BJP. Ever since the reports of Congress and JD(S) MLAs tendering their resignations surfaced, it had become clear that the Karnataka government was not going to survive for very long. The coalition government had fallen into a political crisis after reports of 16 MLAs tendering their resignations had come up.
With Kumaraswamy’s remarks, the Congress-JD(S) alliance which had already lost its steam has officially come to an end. The two parties will field candidates against each other in the constituencies going to by-polls. This translates into a direct advantage for the BJP with the anti-BJP votes getting divided. The BJP already enjoys massive popularity in Karnataka. The Lok Sabha election results evidenced BJP’s popularity. At that time, Congress and JD(S) had entered into a pre-poll alliance but they still failed to give even a tough fight to the BJP. Now, that the two parties are contesting separately, it makes things even better for the BJP. The by-polls might as well turn out to be a cakewalk for the BJP.


Moscow is satisfied with the quality of the current dialogue within the Russia-NATO Council, spokesman for Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Yakovenko stated on Tuesday.
"On the whole, we are satisfied with the quality of the current political dialogue in the Russia-NATO Council. Several important positional documents have been agreed upon, or work on them is under way", Yakovenko said.
"Over eighteen months that have passed since the Russia-NATO summit in May 2002 in Rome, the Council has been turned into an effective mechanism of permanent political consultations, working out and adoption of joint decisions, and joint actions, such as it was initially designed," the spokesman for Russia's Foreign Ministry added.
"As a result, Russia-NATO relations have reached a qualitatively new level, which makes for stronger stability and security in the Euro-Atlantic region," Yakovenko said.
"Practical interaction is being built up. Good results have been attained in the spheres of settlement of crises, countering terrorism, non-proliferation, theater missile defense, and emergency civil planning," he added.

Kim Jong Un
May 8, 2013 — Dennis Rodman, America's unlikeliest link to Kim Jong Un, wants his friend to release Kenneth Bae. A 44-year-old U.S. citizen, Bae was this month sentenced to 15 years in a North Korean labor camp for unspecified "hostile acts."
May 2, 2013 — Pae Jun-ho, known in the U.S. as Kenneth Bae, is among a number of U.S. citizens arrested in North Korea over the years.
Apr 15, 2013 — "The world media run headlines about the Korean peninsula being on the brink of war. Of course it's not on the brink of war, it's just [the] normal show," says Andrei Lankov, who has studied in the North and follows it closely from Kookmin University in Seoul.
Apr 13, 2013 — Secretary of State John Kerry is asking China's government to help ease tensions on the Korean peninsula, where North Korea has issued threats of war as it tests its weapons systems. The top U.S. diplomat met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing two days before a North Korea-promised missile test.
Apr 12, 2013 — While condemning North Korea's recent rhetoric as "unacceptable," the secretary of state also said the U.S. wants to talk — if the North is serious about discussing denuclearization.
Apr 11, 2013 — The North is expected to test another ballistic missile in the next few days. Its rhetoric has been hot in recent weeks. But there's a case to be made that once the U.S. and South Korea wrap up military exercises, the North will declare it won this war of words.
Apr 10, 2013 — South Korean officials say the North has made preparations and looks ready to make its next provocative move. The mood in Seoul remains calm, however.
Apr 9, 2013 — On Tuesday, the North said tourists and foreign companies in the South should leave because nuclear war may be imminent. But people in Seoul have heard such talk for years. They think North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is trying to bolster support at home with such threats.
Apr 3, 2013 — The North's move to block South Korean workers from getting to a jointly run factory park is a familiar way for the communist state to show its displeasure. But it comes at a time when tensions are as high as they've been in years. And the North's new leader is inexperienced at this diplomatic game.
Feb 28, 2013 — The former NBA star known as "The Worm" visited the Stalinist state to be part of an HBO series exploring cultures around the world.

Seafarers' psychological health is seriously affected by COVID-19. The pandemic could act as a catalyst for change with respect to seafarers' mental health protection and promotion. The study explores the main factors contributing to the mental health and wellbeing of seafarers. Moreover, elements to help seafarers lessen the impact of the pandemic on their work and life onboard are analyzed, and their role in developing a positive psychosocial environment and promoting a healthy workplace onboard are discussed. The study involved the use of an ad hoc questionnaire and the adoption of both quantitative and qualitative methods. The sample included one hundred and five active seafarers. Ninety-six percent of the sample stated that mental health is a very or extremely important part of their general health. Seafarers perceive that their mental health has been seriously impacted by COVID-19. Major factors contributing to seafarers' mental health and wellbeing reveal three groups of factors: rest and spare time-related factors, communication/relationship with the external world, and interaction and social life on board factors. Strategies suggested by seafarers for coping with "inevitable" psychological stress produced by COVID-19 and promoting their wellbeing include managerial, emotional, facilities-related (including communication infrastructure), physical, and social elements to promote wellbeing. Economic, intellectual, and spiritual elements also have to be taken into consideration and require further investigation. Building on seafarers' insights and experiences, a healthy environment onboard should cultivate holistically the four main spheres of a healthy workplace (physical work environment, psychosocial work environment, personal health resources, and enterprise community involvement) and the five features of a healthy psychosocial environment (social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual) under all circumstances, whether exceptional or ordinary.
