We investigated the efficacy and toxicity of combining granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) at standard doses with plerixafor, a CXCR4 inhibitor, to mobilize stem cells in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM). Patients with NHL and MM underwent mobilization with G-CSF (10 μg/kg/day) for up to 9 days and plerixafor (240 μg/kg/day), which started on the evening of day 4. Apheresis began on day 5 and continued daily until either ≥5 × 106 CD34/kg were collected or to a maximum of 5 aphereses. Toxicities, increase in circulating CD34 cells/μL before and after the first dose of plerixafor, percentage of patients collecting ≥5 × 106 CD34/kg, total CD34 cells/kg collected, engraftment, and exploratory efficacy analyses in heavily pretreated patients were examined. Six sites enrolled 49 patients (NHL, 23; MM, 26). All completed mobilization and 47 of 49 (96%) underwent transplant. Circulating CD34 cells/μL increased by 2.5-fold (1.3-6.0-fold) after the first plerixafor dose. The median CD34 cells/kg collected was 5.9 × 106 (1.5-22.5) in 2 (1-5) days of aphereses. Median days to neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 11 (8-16) and 14.5 (7-39) days, respectively. Adverse events primarily were mild nausea and diarrhea (n = 24). Twenty-eight (57%) were identified as heavily pretreated patients. Their median fold increase in circulating CD34 cells/μL was 2.5 (1.4-5.0) after plerixafor, similar to minimally pretreated patients. Plerixafor and G-CSF increased circulating CD34 cells/μL and led to the adequate collection of stem cells for autotransplant in 96% of the patients. This combination may have particular value in heavily pretreated patients.

Diindolylmethane, or DIM, is a compound that is formed in your body during the digestion of foods that contain the nutrient indole-3-carbinol. Indole-3-carbinol is found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Eating these foods, therefore, provides your body with DIM. DIM supports the liver in detoxifying and removing harmful molecules including carcinogens, from the body.
The vegetables in this photo from the instagram account of my good friend and fellow NT, Aisling Hill, looks anything but DIM, and she has made some really good suggestions about how to get them into your diet. If you are anything like me though, you need convincing and to be a little more creative. I’m definitely not a fan of overcooked broccoli, cabbage or Brussels sprouts. YUCK!! What’s that smell? But, I am convinced, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Since finding out how beneficial these vegetables are for hormone balance and cancer prevention, I’m finding new and tasty ways to get them in. How does cauliflower curry soup sound?
Thanks for the reminder Ash!! Take it away 🙂

Cruciferous veggies These contain isothiocyanates which are phytochemicals which may change the way estrogen is broken down in the body – this, in turn may help to decrease the risk of high estrogen related complications. Additionally we get protein (although in tiny amounts), fiber, vitamins and minerals from these amazing plants. These are a source of vitamin A, C, K and manganese. Eating a serving of these a day (particularly broccoli, kale & brussel sprouts) can help lower risk of disease. I advise to eat them steamed or lightly sauteed with some type of good quality fats to absorb the nutrients effectively. Generally these are so quick and easy to include in your meals. Examples: get a pot of sauerkraut and add a tablespoon with your dinner every evening(less is more with fermented foods 1 tbsp is plenty especially if you've never had it before). You can cut up florets of broccoli in a bowl and put boiling water over them which will slightly cook them and then once drained throw them on top of your meal. Chop up kale and spinach together and mix through a Bolognese or eat on the side. #nutrientdense #breakfastgoals #nutritionist #irishfood #irishproduce #summer #breakfast #mondaymotivation #breakfastinspo #greenbeauty #greens #organicfood #organiclife #paleo #paleorecipes #foodgasm #foodie #foodography #foodforfuel #gymfuel #vegetables #vegetablegarden #yogurt #fullfat #delicious #picoftheday #like4like #happiness #mealprep #foodforfuel #gym

INTRODUCTION: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells resulting in total loss of insulin production. Recent studies have suggested that the destruction may be interrelated to plasma lipids. OBJECTIVES: Specific lipids have previously been shown to be decreased in children who develop T1D before four years of age. Disturbances of plasma lipids prior to clinical diagnosis of diabetes, if true, may provide a novel way to improve prediction, and monitor disease progression. METHODS: A lipidomic approach was utilized to analyze plasma from 67 healthy adolescent subjects (10-15 years of age) with or without islet autoantibodies but all with increased genetic risk for T1D. The study subjects were enrolled at birth in the Diabetes Prediction in Skåne (DiPiS) study and after 10-15 years of follow-up we performed the present cross-sectional analysis. HLA-DRB345, -DRB1, -DQA1, -DQB1, -DPA1 and -DPB1 genotypes were determined using next generation sequencing. Lipidomic profiles were determined using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Lipidomics data were analyzed according to genotype. RESULTS: Variation in levels of several specific phospholipid species were related to level of autoimmunity but not development of T1D. Five glycosylated ceramides were increased in insulin autoantibody (IAA) positive adolescent subjects compared to adolescent subjects without this autoantibody. Additionally, HLA genotypes seemed to influence levels of long chain triacylglycerol (TG). CONCLUSION: Lipidomic profiling of adolescent subjects in high risk of T1D may improve sub-phenotyping in this high risk population.

Apple iPad Tops J.D. Power’s Owner Satisfaction Survey
The iPad has received the highest “overall customer satisfaction” score in J.D. Power’s “2014 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction Study – Volume 1”, which was released today. Since price was one of the key reasons for tablet choice, Apple received an overall score of only 830 because of its price tag, the study suggests.
Apple’s biggest competitor, Samsung, is close behind with a score of 822, which, by the way, is one point above the study average of 821. Asus’s tablet ranks third with a score of 820.
As the study highlights, lower price is the no. 1 influencer in the consumer’s tablet choice, with a quarter of current tablet owners citing price as the main reason for selecting a tablet brand. This is up 4% compared to 21% reported last year.
“Since the inaugural U.S. Tablet Satisfaction Study in 2012, a number of new tablet OEMs have entered the U.S. marketplace, differentiating themselves to satisfy a growing interest in owning a tablet,” said Kirk Parsons, senior director of telecommunications services at J.D. Power. “Price has significantly impacted the marketplace. The average purchase price continues to drop and consumer expectations of tablet performance and features are different than they were for past products. Subsequently, overall satisfaction has declined, especially with ease of operation, as navigation features and functions have changed.”
It is also worth noting that besides a price drop in the average tablet purchase price, overall consumer satisfaction also decreased by 18 points, from 853 to 835, the study highlights. The main driver, apparently, is the drop in satisfaction with the ease of use.
The 2014 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction Study – Volume 1 study is based on experiences evaluated by 2,513 tablet owners, and was conducted between September 2013 and February 2014.

Zoe Wilde’s Isolated collection tackles an important subject matter, building from her 2017 Warrioress collection, which focused on domestic violence, to demonstrate similar and additional themes around this issue. Isolated relates mostly to the aftermath and mental state of those experiencing domestic violence, writing words from the 90s song Glycerin by Bush on the models’ faces to reinforce the theme.
The words include the terms ‘not’, ‘regress’, ‘alone’, ‘could’, ‘skin’ and ‘just’ to showcase the feelings of hopelessness and difficulty experienced in these trying times. Additionally, the models are painted black up to the face, casting a literal shadow on their figure until the cascading words begin, and illustrating how their mental state can darken based on these thoughts. Black and white photography captures the sombre mood.
Short haircuts, varied, wispy textures, dual-tone details, hair adornments and bold shapes anchor the hair looks of the collection, merging technical ability and creativity with the pressing and significant theme. With this talent and conceptualisation in mind, Zoe was nominated for the award of NSW Hairdresser of the Year at the 2018 Hair Expo Awards, and deservedly so.

Hall's Giant hazelnut
-
This German variety is a useful late pollinator for many other Hazelnut cultivars. Hall’s Giant can produce many catkins although nut quantities can be low.
Hazelnuts prefer mild summers and cool winters (temperate climate) and do best when a number of conditions are met: annual rainfall of over 750 mm or additional irrigation especially while establishing after planting; and protection from wind and high summer temperatures.
• Pollination Group: Male and female flowers on the same tree don’t always flower at the same time so it is best to have other varieties present nearby to improve pollination, in particular: Barcelona, Tonda Di Giffoni, Lewis
• Uses: eating, cooking, roasting
• Harvest: nuts fall (Feb to March)
• Chill requirement: Good yields require long cold periods of 5 to 7 deg C for about 1,200 hours. Female flowers are vulnerable to frosts of below -5 deg C especially when opening.
• Features: helps to pollinate other cultivars late in the flowering season

FILM ONLY REVIEW
The girls are back at St Trinians for the new school term and it falls to Annabel to take the role of Head Girl. The girls all settle back in well and form their own groups where they take on their roles of geeks, Naturalists, Techs and chavs well.
They are shocked to discover that one of the girls has broken into the library to steel a ring which they have been asked to get for the price of £20,000. The girls discover what is happening and it falls to Annabel to speak to the man who wants the ring. Annabel asks for a higher price but gets turned down and is warned that she has made a big mistake and danger is afoot.
Annabel goes to speak to her Aunt, Head Teacher Fritton to explain what has happened. They are all shocked to be told about an old Fritton pirate who has a secret gold stash and the ring forms part of the map. The evil Lord Pomfrey is trying to get his hands on the ring to find the treasure for himself.
Can the girls of St Trinians stop the evil Lord Pomfrey and find the treasure for themselves?
I did enjoy the first of the St Trinians films so was looking forward to watching this one and can say that it was very good but just not quite to the standard of the original. The storyline was good and crazy at times but this is what made it so enjoyable. There was a lot of humour in the story and for me this is what made it so easy and good to watch, along with the acting of some as well.
The role which really stood out for me was that of Head Teacher Fritton, played by Rupert Everett. He was excellent and played the role of a woman very well. He looked so funny and walked just like a man but I was transfixed each and every time he came onto the screen. He bought so much humour into the film and made me laugh so much. He had a good chem8istry with all of the girls and he showed a good parental side when needed. I loved the way he would try and get involved as much as possible with the crazy schemes and never try to stop the girls from doing them. There was a great fixation again with the character of Geoffrey and I loved the way they were together on screen. There was a good bond with the two actors and they seemed to be able to bounce off each other with their lines with ease.
We had some very good young actors in the film and the one which took the lead and really stood out was that of Annabel, she was played by Tallulah Riley. She showed a good strength with her character and seemed to be able to deliver her lines and make them believable. She was a good leader to the girls and seemed to be able to fit into which ever section of people she was working with. Other good strong characters included actors, Jodie Whittaker, Juno Temple, Sarah Harding and Celia Imrie. David Tennant started as Lord Pomfrey and he did a good job with the role and I did like the way he took the character and made it his own.
The film is set in the present time in England and this was apparent from the clothes, fashions and sets. They were all well made and came across in a good light. I found some of the improvised school uniforms to be a little over the top but they worked well with the story and characters. We did get parts of the film showing us the past when the pirates were ruling the seas and I loved how the same actors were used in these parts. It was easy to separate the years as they were both very different and so too were the costumes.
There is some comedy in the film and it did at times make me giggle out loud. Some parts are not funny and way over the top for the film but this for me just made it that little bit more entertaining. A lot of the humour came from the relationship with Fritton and Geoffrey. The music was also good and fitting for the year of the film. It was fresh and very modern and worked very well. It is not an album I would personally go out and buy but it was good for the film.
This is a film only review so there are no bonus features to speak about. The running time of the film is 106 minutes and I found this was quite long enough. The rate is a PG and personally I would have had this slightly higher at a 12 as there are a lot of parts which I would not want young viewers to see or give them ideas about how to behave at school. The DVD can be bought for around the £7 mark and I think this is a fair price. The film is currently being shown on Sky Movies so try to catch it there for free.
I am pleased to be giving this film 4 stars. I was very entertaining and had a good storyline. The acting was excellent and Rupert Everett was just as excellent as he was in the first film. I have dropped a star though as it was just not quite up to the standard of the first film and was missing a few more stronger child actors. One for fans of the first film to watch.

Progressive groups warn against appointing tech insiders to key antitrust roles
A coalition of 40 anti-monopoly groups are urging the incoming Biden administration against appointing former Big Tech employees to key antitrust roles in the government.
“We believe that appointing antitrust enforcers with no ties to dominant corporations in the industries they will be tasked with overseeing — particularly in regard to the technology sector — will help re-establish public trust in government at a critically important moment in our country’s history,” the groups wrote in a letter to the transition team Monday.
The 40 organizations, including the American Economic Liberties Project, Demand Progress and Indivisible, specifically called on President-elect Biden to avoid selecting candidates who have served as “lawyers, lobbyists, or consultants” for Amazon, Apple, Google or Facebook.
The letter comes on the heels of reports that Renata Hesse is a front-runner for the top antitrust job at the Department of Justice.
Hesse, a former agency official during the Obama administration, has a long history with tech companies. She has advised both Amazon and Google, most notably helping shepherd through the e-commerce giant’s $13 billion acquisition of Whole Foods.
Biden’s transition team did not respond to questions about Hesse’s potential selection or comment on the letter.
The new president is being sworn into office amid a surge of antitrust activity aimed at the country’s biggest tech companies.
The Department of Justice sued Google last year for allegedly illegally maintaining its monopoly on search and online advertising.
The Federal Trade Commission sued Facebook later for, among other things, making anticompetitive acquisitions in the social media space. With Democratic Commissioner Rohit Chopra being tapped to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and current Chairman Joseph Simons (R) stepping down later this month, the Biden administration will have two slots to fill on the powerful agency.
Some activity from Congress on the antitrust front is also expected.
Democrats on the House Judiciary committee released a sweeping report last summer detailing the market abuses of Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook. Republicans have signaled support for some of the remedies in the report.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), who led a minority report largely backing the assessment of the industry presented by the Democrats, has criticized reports that Biden could select Hesse for the Justice Department role.
“Joe Biden should not be appointing someone who worked for Google and Amazon to lead the Antitrust Division,” he tweeted Tuesday. “This is very concerning for those of us who want to hold Big Tech accountable.”
The Hill has removed its comment section, as there are many other forums for readers to participate in the conversation. We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter.

Rudston monolith. Pic: Stephen Horncastle
Stonehenge may contain Britain’s most famous ancient standing stones, but few people are aware of Britain’s tallest. Read on to find out more about the Rudston Monolith in Yorkshire, UK.
The Rudston Monolith is the tallest ancient standing stone in the United Kingdom. It can be viewed in the graveyard of Rudston Parish Church of All Saints, East Riding, Yorkshire.
The monolith is believed to have been errected around 1600 BC. It’s 7.6 metres tall, above ground.
It seems to be less well known because a church has been built on the same site, overshadowing it. There are stories that the stone was converted into a cross.
Rudston Monolith. Pic: Paul Allison
Experts believe that the Rudston landscape was once a centre of Neolithic / Bronze Age activity and that the megalith could be a marker of a sacred space. Nearby there are four cursuses – areas which may have been used for rites-of-passage events.
Or as Julian Cope dramatically puts it: “Back in 2500 BC, this 25’ tall pillar was the terminus and focal point of four ceremonial earthen avenues, all hundreds of metres long. This huge megalithic complex – the Avebury of its area – represented the upland area known as the Yorkshire Wolds, this last word connoting exactly the same meaning as ‘world’.”
The second tallest tallest standing stone in the UK can also be found in Yorkshire – it’s a seven metre high monolith at the southern end of the ‘Devil’s Arrows’, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire.

NASHVILLE – The unemployment rate for Cannon County declined for the second straight month in March.
For the last two weeks, students at East Side School have been guessing what was in
an extra large yellow egg that sat by the front office.
Persons interesting in selling food, beverages, arts and crafts, or providing information about a service, can do so during the 6th Annual Good Ole Days in downtown Woodbury.
At the March 10 meeting of the Rutherford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a local Cannon County Senior was honored.
A Readyville woman who was convicted last year in Rutherford Co., and currently faces charges in Cannon Co., was indicted by the DeKalb Co. Grand Jury last week for theft of property over $1,000.
West Side basketball players and cheerleaders were honored at a sports banquet held Monday, April 18, at West Side School.
A whole slew of bills affecting public notice and public records may make it much more difficult for Tennesseans to pay attention to what their government is doing.
Focus remains on jobs, education and government efficiency.


The NYPD is refusing to disclose information about handgun licenses held by Donald Trump and his two eldest sons, citing privacy and safety concerns, according to a new lawsuit.
A news and opinion website called the Daily Dot tried to obtain the records through a state Freedom of Information Law request in January.
But NYPD Lt. Richard Mantellino said the request was “an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under the New York Public Officers law” and “would endanger the life or safety of the applicants,” according to court papers.
So the site is suing for the information, rejecting the safety exemption because of the “round the clock Secret Service protection” provided to the president, Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump.
“The Daily Dot and the public have a right to access public records evidencing the Trumps’ ability and need to carry handguns in one of the strictest arms licensing states in the country,” the suit says.
“The public is entitled to transparency, not secrecy, with respect to their gun license applications,” the suit says.

Yeast Infection Of The Skin – Yeast Infection Under Breast
A yeast infection, also known as Candida, is essentially brought on by a group of microscopic fungi or yeast called Candida albicans.
But when these fungi grow unmanageable, the consequent itchiness, burning, and redness are extremely uncomfortable.
Sme type of fungal yeast that grows outside on trees and plants is in fact much like the type that will develop within the body and lead to an infection?
Although a vaginal yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted infection, you can spread the fungus through mouth to genital contact.
Yeast Infection Of The Skin – Natural Candida Remedies
Several of the signs of a yeast infection are itching, burning or swelling in and around the affected region.
Yeast infections of the vagina are not sexually transmitted infections, but they can spread through oral-genital contact or during sex.
Candida species may be there in healthy women in the vagina without causing any symptoms.
Whitish gray and clumpy vaginal discharge is another telltale symptom.
Yeast infections are due to overgrowth of the microscopic fungus Candida.
Yeast Infection Of The Skin – Candida Albicans Disease
While yeast may be spread by sexual contact, vaginal yeast infection isn’t regarded to be a sexually-transmitted disease as additionally, it may occur in girls who are not sexually active, because of the truth that yeast can be there in the vagina of healthy women.
Usually, yeast infections are apparent and somewhat uncomfortable, especially if left untreated, and also the symptoms continue to worsen.
Nevertheless, a yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted infection. Even women that aren’t sexually active can develop yeast infections.
A specific type of yeast called Candida albicans causes most yeast infections.
These yeast infections are easily treatable. A laboratory evaluation can identify which type of Candida you have.
Antifungal medications come in the form of creams, pills, ointments, or suppositories that you insert into your vagina.
Yeast Infection Of The Skin – Yeast Infection Blisters
Women with simple yeast infections should follow up using their physicians to ensure the medicine worked.
Your doctor will examine your vagina walls and cervix. They’ll additionally examine the encompassing area for external signs of illness.
Based on what your doctor sees they may gather some cells from your vagina. These cells will head to a lab for evaluation.
While most yeast pose no risk at all to your wellbeing, a small portion of yeast cultures are possibly harmful and capable of causing diseases.
Each yeast infection is different, so that your doctor will propose a treatment that’s best for you personally. Treatments are often determined based on the severity of your symptoms.

Yes! Nature won! The road project traversing Mt. Guiting-guiting has been cancelled. We laud Engr. Napoleon S. Famadico and his DPWH team for the honest response and decision. These are the truths behind the Cross Country Road Project according to DPWH:
1. They "find it difficult to secure and prepare the documents due to time constraint", these are the "requirements for the ECC and feasibility study to justify the necessity of implementing the project".
2. The project is "not included in the list projects proposed by... the District Office for funding in the National Expenditure Program (NEP) but were only included in the final list of projects funded in the Approved 2018 GAA".
DPWH "decided not to implement anymore" the project and has "already cancelled the bidding and has requested to realign the projects or revert the funds allocated".


text: OBJECTIVE: To study the activity and incidence of knee pain after sustaining an isolated tibia fracture treated with an infrapatellar intramedullary nail at 1 year. DESIGN: Retrospective review of prospective cohort. SETTING: Multicenter Academic and Community hospitals. PATIENTS: Four hundred thirty-seven patients with an isolated tibia fracture completed a 12-month assessment on pain and self-reported activity. INTERVENTION: Infrapatellar intramedullary nail. OUTCOMES: Demographic information, comorbid conditions, injury characteristics, and surgical technique were recorded. Knee pain was defined on a 1-7 scale with 1 being "no pain" and 7 being a "very great deal of pain." Knee pain >4 was considered clinically significant. Patients reported if they were "able," "able with difficulty," or "unable" to perform the following activities: kneel, run, climb stairs, and walk prolonged. Variables were tested in multilevel multivariable regression analyses. RESULTS: In knee pain, 11% of patients reported a "good deal" to a "very great deal" of pain (>4), and 52% of patients reported "no" or "very little" pain at 12 months. In activity at 12 months, 26% and 29% of patients were unable to kneel or run, respectively, and 31% and 35% of patients, respectively, stated they were able with difficulty or unable to use stairs or walk. CONCLUSIONS: Clinically significant knee pain (>4/7) was present in 11% of patients 1 year after a tibia fracture.

BATAAN - A Survivor’s Story. by Lt. Gene Boyt, David L Burch, Foreword by Gregory J. W Urwin. 272 pages; 25 b&w illus., 3 line drawings, 2 maps.
Like many other young American men during the depression-era 1930s, Gene Boyt entered Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps. Later, after receiving an ROTC commission in the Army Engineers and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Missouri School of Mines, Boyt joined the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater.
While building runways and infrastructure in the Philippines in 1941, Boyt enjoyed the regal life of an American officer stationed in a tropical paradise--but not for long. When the United States surrendered the Philippines to Japan in April 1942, Boyt became a prisoner of war, suffering unthinkable deprivation and brutality at the hands of the ruthless Japanese guards.
One of the last accounts to come from a Bataan survivor, Boyt’s story details the infamous Bataan Death March and his subsequent forty-two months in Japanese internment camps. In this fast-paced narrative, Boyt’s voice conveys the quiet courage of the generation of men who fought and won history’s greatest armed conflict.
Gene Boyt achieved the rank of Captain by the time of his discharge from the military. After retiring from his work as an engineer with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Mr. Boyt lived in Chickasha, Oklahoma, until his death in September 2003. David L. Burch, a human relations professional in Oklahoma City, formerly taught college courses in American history and government.
Gregory J. W. Urwin is Professor of History at Temple University and Associate Director of Temple’s Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy. He is the author of The United States Infantry: An Illustrated History, 1775-1918 and The United States Cavalry: An Illustrated History, 1776-1944.
“Toward the end of our meal, the [radio] announcer said, ‘We have an unconfirmed report that Clark Field has just been bombed.’ [We] were amused by this revelation because we were sitting right in the middle of Clark Field and nothing unusual was happening. . . . Dessert, a tasty pie, was served. I took two bites of my piece before the house blew up.”--from Bataan: A Survivor’s Story
“Instead of dwelling on enemy cruelty and indifference and the misery that permeated each day he spent in Japanese hands, Boyt concentrates on the people and things that helped him to live from one day to the next.”--Gregory J. W. Urwin, from the Foreword

Wall-running is considered as one of the most entertaining gameplay mechanics in video games. Titanfall, Prince of Persia, and other games have had the same feature available, thus why CD Projekt Red, the developers of Cyberpunk 2077, have thought of the same. Some of the Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demos have already introduced this feature as available. However, underlying issues have turned things around, and due to design matters, wall running will not be possible in Cyberpunk 2077.
In a recent dialogue with GameReactor, Cyberpunk 2077’s level designed Max Pears have opened his thoughts on this matter, claiming that wall-running or vertical traversal won’t be available due to design reasons.
Ah, the wall running… that is something that we removed due to design reasons, but there’s still going to be a lot of flexibility in how you move, that’s for sure.
Wall running has been discarded from Cyberpunk 2077, and the final product will contain no such feature. However, other things are willing to accommodate the removal of this feature, and we’re looking forward to seeing those as well.
Cyberpunk 2077 will release on November 19, 2020.

Data show that the transaction volume of China’s overseas mergers and acquisitions in the first quarter of this year has approached that of the whole of last year. Relevant experts said that overseas mergers and acquisitions are not only beneficial to the development of the company itself, but also important to the transformation and development of the industry. It is a "channel" to promote the rapid growth of textile and garment companies.
Chinese textile and apparel companies have made frequent acquisitions of overseas companies recently. In recent months, Chinese textile and apparel companies such as Hangzhou Yongsheng Textile Co., Ltd. and Shandong Ruyi Technology Group Co., Ltd. have successively acquired well-known companies in Europe and the United States, setting off another wave of overseas mergers and acquisitions by Chinese textile and apparel companies.
Chinese textile companies frequently make mergers and acquisitions
Recently, according to relevant media reports, Hangzhou Yongsheng Textile Co., Ltd. acquired French lace manufacturer Desaiye for 300,000 euros (approximately 2.2017 million yuan). The acquisition price is equivalent to only 5% of Desaiye's turnover last year.
Hangzhou Yongsheng Textile Co., Ltd. was founded in 1993 and established a group in 2003. Its headquarters is located in Hangzhou. The group’s main business covers chemical fiber, textile, dyeing and finishing, clothing and import and export trade. While striving to become better, stronger and more distinctive in the industrial chain, Yongsheng is also actively involved in digital technology, financial investment, real estate and other industries, achieving diversified development and now becoming a large-scale private enterprise in the country.
Desailles, which was acquired this time, was founded 70 years ago and is one of the oldest lace manufacturers in France. More than 70% of its products are exported to the Asian market and it is a supplier of well-known brands including Victoria's Secret.
Coincidentally, at the end of March this year, Shandong Ruyi Technology Group Co., Ltd. invested 1.3 billion euros to acquire French fashion group SMCP.
SMCP has become a globally recognized leading company in the affordable luxury industry with its three Parisian contemporary fashion brands Sandro, Maje and Claudie Pierlot. SMCP has 1,118 sales outlets around the world, of which 906 are directly operated and 212 are cooperatively operated. As of the end of 2015, SMCP's brands are available in 33 countries around the world. Most of the clothing prices are around 200 euros, making it an affordable luxury brand.
It is reported that Ruyi Group’s acquisition of SMCP is intended to promote its further development and support its global expansion plan. Especially in Asia, the development of SMCP will benefit from the unique experience and excellent performance of Shandong Ruyi Group. Ruyi Group will insist that SMCP's design and creative team continue to operate at its headquarters in Paris to maintain SMCP's fashion genes and its unique brand image. While SMCP retains its existing corporate strategy and organizational structure, it will also benefit from the global retail industry expertise of its new shareholders.
In fact, in the wave of overseas mergers and acquisitions, it is not just textile companies that frequently take action, but also clothing companies. After successfully acquiring the European brand Laurèl, the women's clothing brand Elise acquired another international affordable luxury fashion brand in January this year. Elise signed an equity acquisition agreement with all shareholders of Hong Kong Tangli International Holdings Co., Ltd., and acquired 65% of Tangli International's equity through its wholly-owned subsidiary Dongming International Investment (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. for RMB 240.5 million.
Tangli International owns the brand ownership of the American international affordable luxury fashion brand Ed Hardy in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as brands such as Ed Hardy Skinwear and Baby Hardy. Its main products are the American affordable luxury fashion brand Ed Hardy. Men's and women's clothing and related apparel.
After the acquisition is completed, Elise will help Ed Hardy expand rapidly, adding 207 stores within three years, and plans to add 50, 76 and 81 stores in 2016, 2017 and 2018 respectively. In addition to store expansion, Elise said that future goals also include deepening the single-store performance of Ed Hardy's main brand business. At the same time, starting from 2016, the Ed Hardy Skinwear brand will be simultaneously developed to create a comprehensive lifestyle collection store.
According to Thomson Reuters data, in the first quarter of 2016, global transaction activity reached US$682 billion, of which US$101 billion (or 15%) involved Chinese buyers. At this level, China's total overseas transactions in the first quarter are close to the transaction record of US$109 billion for the whole of 2015.
Peng Gaonian, head of Citigroup's Asia-Pacific global cross-border M&A department, said that the wave of China's overseas M&A transactions in the first quarter of 2016 has changed the global M&A landscape.
Mergers and acquisitions are an important path for upgrading China’s textile industry
In fact, it is nothing new for Chinese textile and apparel companies to acquire foreign companies.
In terms of textile companies, in 2002, Shanghai Haixin Group Co., Ltd., China's largest plush fabric manufacturer, acquired the assets of the textile division of the American GLENOIT company. After Haixin Group completed the acquisition of the textile division of Glenoit Company as planned, it directly established a complete sales network in the U.S. market, which consumes the largest amount of plush clothing, and established a multinational product design and development organization, which has helped Haixin Group rapidly improve its main business of plush. It has played an important role in the company's development and growth into the world's largest plush clothing fabric company. This is the first time that a Chinese textile company has taken the initiative to acquire leading international companies as a strong player.
In terms of clothing companies, in 2008, Ningbo Youngor Group Youngor successfully completed the merger and acquisition of the Singapore-Malaysia Garment Group for US$120 million. This was the first time a Chinese clothing company had M&A of an overseas company. Through this merger, Youngor has obtained the 14 production bases of the New Malaysia Group in Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Guangdong, Jilin, Shenzhen and other places in China, and the ODM processing business of more than 20 brands including POLO and CalvinKlein. It owns Nautica, PerryEllis and other 5 authorized brands, as well as an excellent team with decades of experience in international brand management and design, can access hundreds of department store sales outlets and logistics systems at all levels in the United States.
Industry experts believe that overseas mergers and acquisitions are not only beneficial to the development of the company itself, but are also important to the transformation and development of the industry. Through mergers and acquisitions, we can transform ourselves from small to large, strengthen corporate development, and optimize resource allocation. Mergers and acquisitions are an important path for the upgrading of China's textile industry.
Liu Yaozhong, deputy director of the International Trade Office of the China Textile and Apparel Industry Federation, believes that there are currently two trends in overseas mergers and acquisitions by Chinese textile and apparel companies. One is to acquire leading companies in Southeast Asia and other countries. The main purpose is to extend the company's continued manufacturing Strength and other advantages. On the other hand, the main purpose of acquiring European and American brand companies is to use the brand advantages of related European and American companies to make up for the brand deficiencies of domestic companies and enhance the company's position in the global textile and apparel value chain.
“The main purpose of these recent overseas mergers and acquisitions is to use their platforms and sales channels to allow Chinese products to enter their mid-to-high-end markets.” Wuhan Textile, who has been engaged in research on mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations of textile and apparel companies for many years Xu Chaoyang, dean of the University’s School of Accountancy, said in an interview with reporters.
Integration is key to realizing expected M&A value
However, mergers and acquisitions are only the first step. How to continue to invest in and manage the acquired brands is even more important for domestic apparel companies.
“Mergers and acquisitions are not about buying a shell, but more about the core resources behind it such as talent, management, channels, and design. Integrating these core resources is the real meaning of mergers and acquisitions.” Liu Yaozhong said.
Xu Chaoyang introduced that integration is the key to realizing the expected value of mergers and acquisitions. It is difficult to integrate human, financial, material, knowledge, information and other resource elements for textile and apparel enterprises, involving multiple stakeholders. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically promote the integration process of mergers and acquisitions and control the risks in mergers and acquisitions integration.
Technical integration must be carried out first. Textile and apparel companies have acquired the entire production factors of the target company through mergers and acquisitions. When reconfiguring these production factors, the merging company always strives to integrate the target company's advanced production technology or certain production links and replace them with new technologies and new processes. Old technologies and old processes are added, and new technical processes are added to achieve optimal allocation within the merged enterprise to achieve the purpose of capital appreciation.
The second is management integration. Due to changes in the property rights structure and management team after mergers and acquisitions, the management organization, management system, and management methods must be adjusted, and the content, focus, and methods of enterprise management will change. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a standardized corporate governance structure, straighten out property rights relationships, reconstruct the organizational system, and improve the management system.
Once again, it is the integration of human resources. Mergers and acquisitions of textile and apparel companies usually have a huge psychological and emotional impact on employees, especially when the company is acquired and taken over. Stabilizing key talents has become the main strategy for mergers and acquisitions integration. During the integration process, the resignation of professional managers, key technical personnel and marketing personnel may result in the loss of key skills or important customers, causing huge losses to the company. Therefore, it is necessary to retain these key employees through emotional communication and appropriate incentives. Become an important part of human resources integration.
The last thing is cultural integration. Each textile company has its own corporate culture. Simply covering and replacing the culture of the acquired company with the culture of the acquiring company may cause strong conflicts and antagonisms, which may lead to losses for both parties and end in failure. Effective cultural integration should fully absorb the essence of the target company's culture and establish a composite new corporate culture. The senior leaders of both parties to the merger and acquisition must adhere to the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences during the corporate culture integration process, and establish a cultural communication and understanding mechanism with the acquired company.
“Overseas mergers and acquisitions are the development trend of the industry. It is a 'channel' that effectively integrates technology-related resources of textile and garment enterprises and promotes the rapid growth of textile and garment enterprises. However, if not done well, it will 'lose both the wife and the soldiers'. What M&A requires is '1+1>2'." Xu Chaoyang reminded.
Reporter’s observation: In recent years, overseas mergers and acquisitions by textile and apparel companies have occurred frequently. In this wave of capital export, who can ride the wave and seize the global market share? The capital situation has always been unpredictable. As the reporter has seen, overseas mergers and acquisitions are not just a competition for capital. Companies also hope to expand their global business footprint through mergers and acquisitions overseas, thereby improving performance.
Compared with general mergers and acquisitions, textile and apparel companies invest higher costs in overseas mergers and acquisitions. In addition to time costs, companies need to conduct in-depth inspections of the companies they acquire. More importantly, how can the acquired company or brand be better integrated? After the merger, what are the development plans of both parties? Can it continue to enhance the influence of its own brand? Before overseas mergers and acquisitions, companies must carefully consider the above issues. After all, overseas mergers and acquisitions do not necessarily achieve asset appreciation, and more energy is still needed for corporate operations and management in the later stages of mergers and acquisitions.
When most companies choose the path of overseas mergers and acquisitions, they mostly consider that the acquired companies have something they can use for them. For example, through overseas mergers and acquisitions, you can enrich the diversity of your own brand, open up overseas markets, supplement corporate shortcomings, etc. More importantly, textile and apparel companies can learn international operating experience from overseas mergers and acquisitions. As globalization develops more and more deeply, companies can accumulate more experience and foundation to promote the international development of brands.
More and more domestic textile and apparel companies choose overseas mergers and acquisitions, which not only shows that domestic companies are not short of money, but also shows that companies have opened up a global perspective in their development. From this perspective, overseas mergers and acquisitions by textile and apparel companies seem to send a more forward-looking signal.
The company has advanced equipment for ring spinning, compact spinning, siro spinning, twisting and other spinning forms. It can produce various cotton and chemical fiber pure and blended yarns, such as pure cotton yarn,

In the days after World War II the United States Air Force grew explosively, as the benefits of aerial warfare action had been demonstrative conclusively on the part of all combatants. The attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, along with numerous other wartime aerial battles convinced the leadership of the need for an American Air Force, and it was made into its own separate service.
The equipment that made up the first Air Force Inventory included the C-47 Skytrain, the B-29 Superfortress, the B-17 flying fortress, and P-51 Mustangs. With the human resources and equipment the Air Force reached a level of nearly a half million personnel at the time of their inception in 1947. With the new designation of the fifth Armed Service in the United States the Air Force moved into the new era as the premier aerial force for the United States. The first secretary of the Air Force was named in 1947, Mr. Stuart Symington was named.
While the need for a active duty American Air Force had been proven, after a short while the bean counters in Washington D.C. and the halls of government decided that the Air Force would not be spared the defense cuts which occurred after World War II. The number of aircraft and personnel began to be trimmed back, and a slow decline occurred for a number of years, until the aggressive posture that began to be taken by the Soviet Union. As the Soviets began to mobilize and take over different satellite nations near its borders, America and the American people began to fear overall aggressive action by Communism, and the communist nation of the Soviet Union. Because of the single fact that the Soviets eventually obtained nuclear weapons, the Strategic Air Command was created to protect and serve the American People. President Eisenhower was a hawk, and during the 1950s he devised and helped make sure that the Air Force, and the Strategic Air Command, were placed firmly to defend, and if necessary provide a first strike capability, even a nuclear one.
President Eisenhower was known to use the term “Massive retaliation,” when speaking of the ability and power of the early U.S. Air Force, and the Strategic Air Command, but he also was blunt that if it became necessary to use force on a first strike capacity, that it would fall to long range United States Air Force Bombers to carry out the ability for America to defend itself.


[PD] Frequency Analysis....

I just built a multichannel audio video mixer and am now trying to analyze the audio to get some video control signals.
What i have got so far i attack detection for each channel using bonk~.
I am now looking fro more control signals... could be another 01-signal like bonk delivers if you can think of anything but something anaolg would be more interesting.
Is it possible to do a frequency analysis to get a value between 0 and 100 which measures the depth of the spectrum in a certain range or something similar to that?
As a programmer unfortunatly i am not that much into audio analysis yet, so sorry if this sounds kind of weird :-)

Ontario’s environmental commissioner is calling on the provincial ag ministry to rebuild its soil health expertise and find ways to encourage farmers to adopt soil-friendly production practices, to deal with what she calls a “catastrophic” loss in soil organic matter levels.
The report recommends better soil carbon level monitoring and 10-year programs to financially encourage farmers to adopt soil-healthy production practices. It also suggests linking crop insurance to soil carbon levels as healthier soils have lower risk of crop failure.
This summer’s inconsistent rainfall in Ontario plainly showed the value of better soil health with average or strong yields on healthy soils with water-holding capacity and lower yields on poorer soils.
Environmental commissioner Dianne Saxe said in an interview that the issue of soil health is “very important. The opportunities in agriculture are important and exciting and can have so many ecological benefits.”
Saxe’s mandate is to provide guidance to provincial policy makers.
The report pointed to modern agriculture practices as significant contributors to soil degradation in Ontario, including the use of fertilizers, pesticides and tillage, instead of focusing on farming systems that emphasize the maintenance of healthy soil through crop rotation, cover crops and organic-based soil amendments such as manure and compost.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) has neglected to focus on soil health, Saxe said.
“OMAFRA admitted they had let the issue slide and lost expertise and did not have a plan to deal with the catastrophic loss of 30 per cent of organic matter in a generation.”
OMAFRA is currently in the process of developing a soil health strategy for the province and is looking for comments on the first draft until Nov. 27.
The environmental commissioner’s report acknowledged the current rapid movement in Ontario toward more use of cover crops and minimal tillage, but it suggested such practices need to be adopted even more widely.
Saxe acknowledged farmers are making changes to their practices that are building healthier soils. “It’s exciting, isn’t it? If farmers make all of this unnecessary because of the things they do, all the better.”
She noted the rate of decline of soil matter has slowed in Ontario recently, due to some of those production practices.
The report profiles farmers in the U.S. and in Ontario who are creating changes in soil health and sequestering increasing amounts of carbon in the soil. Those farmers include the Belan family near Inwood, Ont. and the Rogers farm at Lambton Shores.
Both have shown increased soil carbon by maintaining growing roots year-round, through cover crops and other practices such as strip tillage.
Saxe pointed to the French-led 4/1000 initiative, a global program that is based on the belief that by increasing soil carbon by four per cent per year, the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be halted, and global climate change slowed. Governments and organizations around the world have signed on and she encourages Ontario to do the same.
Farmers shouldn’t have to bear the burden of stopping climate change, which is why Saxe has included a recommendation of 10-year funding for farmers moving to healthier soil practices.
Not much in the report will be new to farmers; many are using some of the methods identified as best practices in the report. They include:
- Conservation tillage
- Crop rotation
- Cover crops
- 4Rs of fertilizer application (right source, right rate, right time and right place)
- Composting and compost utilization
- Livestock integration with farms (producing manure for crops and including use of pasture and forage crops in rotations)
- An ecological approach to grazing management
A unique recommendation of the report encourages the government to tie crop insurance premium and risk assessment to soil health. Saxe said healthier soils reduce risk of crop failure and those with healthier soils should have advantages when it comes to crop insurance.
Saxe encourages farmers to read the report and form their own opinions. Farmers were consulted on the report and reviewed the drafts.
“I hope you notice that I didn’t tell farmers what to do. I am certainly not trying to tell farmers how to grow their crops. That would be foolish of me. It is my job to comment on government policy and this is an area that needs a tuneup.”
Saxe’s report is the latest in a number of initiatives in the province around soil health, including the Great Lakes Agricultural Stewardship Initiative (GLASI); OMAFRA’s renewed interest in soil health; a $2 million soil health monitoring project at the University of Guelph; and a significant focus by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association on soil health research projects.

One of the most common causes of sickness for travelers is being exposed to contaminated food and water. And one of the easiest ways for these bacteria and parasites to enter your body? Through contaminated local tap water. The last thing you want is a bout of stomach cramps to ruin your trip, so this article will take a look at the tap water in South America and let you know which countries it is safe to drink in.
We can't cover every city in each country so, if in doubt, ask a local whether the water is safe to drink. Take a look at what they're doing, too -- are they buying bottled water or drinking from the taps? And a bit of quick googling for a specific city will help a lot. Sometimes the locals can stomach water that your body may not be used to, so it's wise to use some caution.
If you find yourself in a country that doesn't have clean tap water, then you can either buy bottled water or carry a portable water purifier with you. One easy way to purify tap water is with the Grayl. This water bottle eliminates pretty much all contaminants from your water, making it perfectly safe to drink.
Take care when drinking anything that contains ice cubes in places where you need to be wary, in case they're made from tap water -- ask at the restaurant if it's safe to drink. Additionally, steer clear of salads, fruits, or vegetables, which may have been washed with tap water.
Here's the list of the countries in South America, and whether the tap water is safe to drink or not.
Argentina is a well-developed country and the tap water throughout the country is safe to drink. In more rural areas, you can expect the water to taste strongly of chlorine, but it won't harm you in any way. If in doubt, ask the locals to see what they do and follow their lead. There are very few areas of the country where the water isn't safe, and as a tourist, you'd be unlikely to visit them.
Make sure to avoid drinking the tap water while you're in Bolivia -- it's not safe to drink, even in the major cities. In fact, it's best to not even use it while brushing your teeth. Fortunately, bottled water is widely available and very affordable, or you could use a Grayl water bottle, which was described above.
When it comes to tap water, Brazil can be a little tricky. In the major cities -- Rio and Sao Paulo -- you can drink the tap water, but travelers report that it tastes revolting. With that in mind, unless you're traveling on a very tight budget, expect to buy bottled water or purify water from the tap throughout your trip.
The tap water is safe to drink in Chile, with the exception of San Pedro de Atacama. Be aware that the tap water has a high mineral content, so could lead to the development of kidney stones or kidney infections if you drink it for several months straight. If you're prone to either, it's wise to limit the amount you consume. Be cautious and mix up your water routine with bottled water every now and then.
The tap water is safe to drink in most large cities in Colombia. Stick to bottled water if you decide to venture out into more rural areas. Agua Manantial is your best option for bottled water, as it tastes the best and is still inexpensive.
You should not drink the tap water in Ecuador, even in the major cities, as there are many disease-causing organisms in the water. Stick to bottled water, filter your water, or boil the tap water continuously for several minutes (because of the altitude, you need to boil it for longer than you would at sea level) before drinking.
The tap water is safe to drink in the Falkland Islands.
The tap water is not safe to drink in French Guyana. Buy water from a store, use a water filter, or boil your tap water before consuming it.
The water from the tap in Guyana comes out brown, due to the chemicals in the water, which can be interesting if you're not expecting it! The water isn't polluted, but the tap water is generally not safe to drink. Stick to bottled water here.
You shouldn't drink the tap water anywhere in Paraguay. Risks from doing so include dysentery, typhoid, and tuberculosis. Definitely not a place to even use the tap water to brush your teeth.
You should avoid drinking the tap water everywhere in Peru.
Drinking water is safe in Paramaribo, but ask a local for advice before drinking water outside of here, as it's not usually safe. If you're not sure, always go with bottled water.
The tap water is safe to drink throughout Uruguay.
The tap water is not safe to drink in Venezuela. Bring water purification products (iodine) with you or a water filter to make sure you'll have access to clean water in case there's a shortage of bottled water, as was the case in 2017. Filtered water bottles are a good idea, or boiling the water before you drink will keep you safe and hydrated.

WTI & Brent futures have added ~$0.40 to settlement levels, building on 2 sessions of gains. Monday's rally was aided by the continued issues re: getting U.S. Gulf supply back online in the wake of hurricane Ida, with a bullish sell-side note from Goldman Sachs no doubt helping the bid. The U.S. Gulf dynamic is feeding into the tight supply mantra, and the impact on prices was compounded by the latest OPEC report, released Monday, which revealed an uptick in the cartel's global demand forecasts.

Bridging lending continues upward trend
The number of bridging loans written in the last quarter continued to increase albeit at a slower rate then it did last year, Association of Short Term Lenders figures have revealed.
ASTL members wrote £2.7bn of bridging loans in the year ended 31 March 2016 and is on target to exceed this figure again over the coming year. This represents a 16% year-on-year increase
of 16% compared to the year ended 31 March 2015. The value of applications year on year also increased, by 20%, although the value of the loan book dipped slightly, by 4% year on year, indicating that loans are being paid off at a higher rate than they were previously.
The value of loans written in the quarter ending March 2016 reduced by 9% over December’s quarter, whereas they reduced by 19% December 2014 to March in 2015. The first quarter of the year is always quieter than the year end so this is expected to bounce back in quarter two.
Benson Hersch, chief executive of the ASTL, said: “Bridging finance continues to power forward and is now an established niche product. Members are positive about their business prospects, even if slightly less positive about the economy as a whole. Figures on the economy released last week do cause me to sound a note of caution however and there remains some concern, due to the uncertainty about the results of the June referendum, which may yet have an unknown effect on the market.
“As applications begin to pick up over the next quarter, despite some negative factors, the need for bridging finance is likely to continue to grow and our members are well placed to take advantage of opportunities.”
These figures are taken from the responses from the ASTL’s members, which include most of the key lenders in the bridging market. These figures are not seasonally adjusted.

|Sinead relaxes/passes out after her class|
on a comfy bed made of dog toys.
It's not an easy decision.
Puppy classes provide dogs with basic obedience training. They learn how to sit, stay, come and lie down. In some classes, they even learn how to do just a little bit of heeling work. Some classes also introduce dogs to agility tools, so they can learn how to jump over a hurdle or clamber through a flexible tube. But the classes really focus on bonding and socialization. Dogs get to play with one another at the end of most classes like this, and dogs who can't conform to the rules aren't really criticized for their laziness. In general, the classes are just a little bit loose and lackadaisical.
In an obedience class, however, dogs have an opportunity to really stretch and learn. The courses emphasize form, and dogs are expected to get each motion and each action perfect, almost every time. They learn all sorts of advanced moves, and they're also expected to hold their positions for long periods of time. There are few socialization opportunities in classes like this, as some dogs enter these classes due to their bad behavior and/or nervousness. In some of these classes, letting the dogs interact could mean letting them fight. Instead, handlers are encouraged to view the other dogs as distractions that must be ignored. The focus is on the handler/dog relationship, not the dog/dog relationship.
As a 7-month-old puppy, Sinead could use some socialization. She's not always confident around other dogs she doesn't know, and she hasn't had many opportunities to meet and greet other dogs. She also has a fairly short attention span, and long tasks tend to bore her. Put these two factors together, and I have a good reason to keep her in a puppy course.
She's also just very SMART, however, and she's a little impatient with some activities she finds boring. Put her in a puppy class, I thought, and she'd learn the motions in minutes and then want to go home. I'm not sure she likes to socialize and play, either, so I wasn't sure she'd enjoy her time.
In the end, I enrolled her in an obedience course. She is learning so much, and our relationship is much stronger, but we do have to take precautions in class. She is much smaller than her companions, for example, and some of these big dogs want to snack on her. As a result, we always work in the center of the room or on the edges, far away from the big dogs. She also needs a potty break in the middle of the class, so she can regain her focus. But tomorrow, we're going to audit the puppy class, too, so I can see if that might be a better fit for her size and her mental capacity. Could be that I didn't make the right choice for her.

What rash is caused by sweat?
A heat rash occurs when sweat ducts become clogged and the sweat cannot get to the surface of the skin. Instead, it becomes trapped beneath the skin’s surface causing a mild inflammation or rash. Heat rash is also called prickly heat or miliaria.

Why do I get bumps on my skin when I sweat?
Another thing to consider is that the bumps on your skin may be a symptom of heat rash, rather than an acne breakout. Heat rashes are caused by excessive sweating, typically during hot, humid weather. When blocked sweat ducts trap perspiration under your skin, the result is heat rash.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) -- Another unlocked door on a vehicle parked outside with a garage door opener in it leads to another burglary in Madison, according to the police department’s incident report.
This latest one happened Saturday morning at a home on Manchester Road, investigators say. The burglars reportedly got into the SUV and used the garage door opener to gain access to home, going in through the door to the garage, which was also unlocked.
Not only was the SUV stolen, so were several wallets and whoever stole them were able to use them before the man who lived at the house could cancel them, Madison Police said.
Officers located the vehicle later that night in a parking lot on Brittany Place.
A REMINDER TO LOCK YOUR DOORS
Following this latest break-in, Madison Police is again urging people to lock their car doors, as well as their homes, and not to leave their vehicles running. MPD released new numbers showing of the 56 vehicles stolen last month, 54 of them had their keys left in them or they were easily accessible.
Twenty-nine of the vehicles had been unlocked and left running at the time they were stolen.
In the same month, three adults, two 17-year-olds, and 13 juveniles were arrested on auto theft charges.
