At the monumental festival in Goodwood, a very rare make is sometimes predominant: ERA stands for English Racing Automobile, a brand created in November 1933 by Humphrey Cook, Raymond Mays, and Peter Berthon in Bourne/Lincolnshire. The goal at that time was to create a team of single-seater racing cars to maintain British prestige in continental European motorsports. The ERA was the first and best-known prewar English racing car and was mainly used to compete against Maserati and Alfa Romeo. The English asked ZF to develop a locking differential for ERA, and all 17 vehicles were equipped with it. What sets these cars apart is that they run on pure alcohol (methanol), consuming 120 to 130 liters per 100 kilometers. The ERA engine was designed for three displacements: a basic version with 1,488 cubic centimeters (ccm) for the 1,500 ccm racing class produced about 180 to 200 hp, a version with 1,088 ccm was made for the 1,100 ccm class, and it was also possible to expand to 1,980 ccm for the 2,000 ccm class. In the higher engine displacement classes, more than 250 to 275 hp were achieved. The various model types were divided into the A, B, C, and D types.
A total of only 17 cars were built, and 8 vehicles, practically half of them, were present this year at the starting line of the Goodwood Revival. In England, almost every child is familiar with the ERA, while in Germany it is now largely unknown because it has not been driven on the continent for decades. The Second World War brought motorsports to a standstill in Europe, and the Bourne location was then sold to a bus operator. When racing resumed in the late 1940s, Berthon and Mays switched over to the British Racing Motors (BRM) project. Until 1951, the ERA was successfully driven in Formula 1 by well-known English racing drivers such as Charly Martin and Peter Whitehead, but starting in 1952, supercharger cars were excluded from Formula 1. The ERA is very rarely spotted on mainland Europe.
Other vehicle models that are extremely rare and precious can also be enjoyed in Goodwood: for example, this time an entire Ferrari armada of 250 GT SWB types (SWB stands for short wheelbase) and even a type 250 GTO opened the games ceremoniously with the first race in the Kinrara Trophy. It included a steering system and limited-slip differential from ZF. Giotto Bizzarrini, then head of development at Ferrari, believed in ZF products and repeatedly relied on the fine Swabian engineering from Lake Constance for later models, some of which were created in his own company. A special specimen, the Bizzarrini-Chevrolet P538 with ZF five-speed transmission, started in the pole position of the Whitsun Trophy with starting number 1, followed by several Ford GT 40s, the Lola-Chevrolet T70 Spyder, and the McLaren-Chevrolet M1B – all powered by the unparalleled ZF racing transmission ZF 5DS25 with integrated locking differential.
ZF products were in practically every class – each representing a certain era – and at the Goodwood Revival, each vehicle is also a special class of its own.

IBM Security Verify Access can be used to integrate on-premises user registries (eg. LDAP, Active Directory) with applications running on Apache Tomcat. The web reverse proxy component is used to provide and enforce access to downstream servers junctioned by WebSEAL. Identity information provided by Verify Access is then consumed by the JWT Valve which passes on the identity to java web applications. Customised or complex access policies can be implemented using the Advanced Access Control component of Verify Access.
This integration guide assumes you are familiar with a number IBM Security Verify Access configuration options. At a minimum you should be able to:
- Create WebSEAL instances and junctions
- Modify the WebSEAL configuration file
- Manage the runtime server's SSL database
This guide assumes that you have Verify Access (hardware, virtual machine or containers) deployed and the runtime server and user registry configured. Some additional configuration may be required if a Federated user registry (eg. Active Directory) or a Federated Identity (eg. OIDC or SAML) are used.
You should also have a Tomcat server deployed and configured to use a JWT Valve. Instructions for configuring Tomcat are detailed in this guide. Identity is supplied via a JSON Web Token (JWT) constructed from the available user attributes. This guide assumes you are familiar with the associated PKI needed to verify and (if required) decrypt JWTs.
Where possible it is recommended to secure the WebSEAL junction the downstream Tomcat server using SSL. By default WebSEAL instances use the
pdsrv SSL certificate database. To enable SSL communication a certificate which is part of the X509 trust chain from the tomcat SSL handshake must be imported into the SSL certificate database used by your WebSEAL instance.
To enable mutual verification a certificate which is part of the X509 trust chain from the WebSEAL handshake must be imported into the Tomcat SSL keystore
A WebSEAL instance is used to supply and enforce authentication requirements. At a minimum you will need to create/modify a WebSEAL instance with a junction to the target tomcat server and add the JWT configuration stanza configured to match the claims configured for the JWT Valve.
Create a mutual junction to the Tomcat server. This guide uses a standard junction, however a transparent junction can be used if the downstream server must be able to redirect using relative paths. The junction should be configured to use SSL connections with no other additional configuration is required.
This can also be done using the
pdadmin CLI tool:
[user@workstation ~]$ ssh [email protected]
Warning: Permanently added '192.168.42.101' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.

Created junction at /tomcat-sso-demo
To configure WebSEAL to supply a JWT, a
[jwt:<junction name>] stanza is added to the WebSEAL configuration file. This stanza contains the attribute mapping to be used as well as any cryptographic configuration required. The demo integration uses the self signed certificate created in the
pdsrv keystore (WebSEAL default keystore) to sign JWTs. In a production environment this should be replaced with appropriate PKI. The HTTP header used must be of the form
Authorization: Bearer %TOKEN% as the tomcat feature does not allow for this to be changed.
A sample WebSEAL configuration file stub is provided which demonstrates the configuration required:
key-label = WebSEAL-Test-Only
claim = attr::AZN_CRED_PRINCIPAL_NAME::sub
claim = text::webseal.ibm.com::iss
claim = text::demo.integration.server::aud
claim = attr::AZN_*
hdr-name = Authorization
hdr-format = Bearer %TOKEN%
lifetime = 0
renewal-window = 15
Any additional Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Protected Object Policies (POPs) required for the junctioned resource should also be created here. ACLs and POPs are used to define additional business logic required to enforce additional security requirements to access web resources. Out of the box step-up authentication, provided by the Advanced Access Control module is a simple to use example of the additional authentication which can be implemented using IBM Security Verify Access.

For the past two decades, bisulfite sequencing has been a widely used method for quantitative CpG methylation detection of genomic DNA. Coupled with PCR amplicon cloning, bisulfite Sanger sequencing allows for allele-specific CpG methylation assessment; however, its time-consuming protocol and inability to multiplex has recently been overcome by next-generation bisulfite sequencing techniques. Although high-throughput sequencing platforms have enabled greater accuracy in CpG methylation quantitation as a result of increased bisulfite sequencing depth, most common sequencing platforms generate reads that are similar in length to the typical bisulfite PCR size range (~300–500 bp). Using the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) sequencing platform, we developed single molecule real-time bisulfite sequencing (SMRT-BS), which is an accurate targeted CpG methylation analysis method capable of a high degree of multiplexing and long read lengths. SMRT-BS is reproducible and was found to be concordant with other lower throughput quantitative CpG methylation methods. Moreover, the ability to sequence up to ~1.5–2.0 kb amplicons, when coupled with an optimized bisulfite-conversion protocol, allows for more thorough assessment of CpG islands and increases the capacity for studying the relationship between single nucleotide variants and allele-specific CpG methylation.

Loss of hearing can be a very scary experience, especially if it happens suddenly. Your hearing capacity is most commonly affected by advancing age, injuries or accidents, and stress caused by listening to loud noises. Infections, thankfully are not considered to be the leading cause of permanent hearing loss. But infections in the middle ear and inner ear can lead to a temporary hearing loss. And they are quite common, especially among children. Young kids suffer from ear infections more often than adults. Though often easily treated with medication, if you neglect it for too long, it may lead to serious complications including permanent hearing loss.
Anatomy Of The Ear
To better understand the impact of infections of your ears, a brief look at the anatomy of the human ear is necessary. Your ear is broadly made up of three main parts. They are the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear.
- Outer Ear: this is the visible part of the ear. It includes the outer fleshy area called the pinna, as well the ear canal. The outer ear is separated from the middle ear by the walls of the eardrum. It is the main route through which sounds and noises are fed to your inner ear.
- Middle Ear: this part connects the outer ear to the inner ear. It sits around 1.5 inches inside your ear, and has the eardrum, several small bones called ossicles, ligaments, and several air-filled chambers called “windows.” Its main job is to amplify and carry the sounds coming through the ear canal to the inner ear. The middle ear is also connected to your throat through an opening called the Eustachian Tube. This tube is a common site of viral and bacterial infections. Middle ear transmits to the inner ear through the chamber called “oval window.”
- Inner Ear: This is the part which helps you “hear” sounds. It contains the cochlea, which converts sound vibrations into electrochemical signals which are transferred to your brain by the auditory nerve. The inner ear is also responsible for helping to maintain your balance when standing up and moving, thanks to a system called the “vestibular system.” The inner ear is made up of bony passages and fluid filled cavities. Infections in this area are primarily caused by viruses and can cause permanent hearing loss.
Types Of Hearing Loss
There are two main ways in which hearing loss can occur. They are:
Sensorineural Hearing Loss:
- Sensorineural Hearing Loss: This is usually the more severe and often, permanent hearing damage. It involves both age-related hearing loss as well as hearing loss due to physical injuries to the inner ear. Some rare medical conditions and viral infections can also cause damage to the inner ear and lead to the sensorineural hearing loss. Age-related hearing loss starts affecting people once they reach the age of 40.
Conductive Hearing Loss:
- Conductive Hearing Loss: This usually occurs when something is blocking the passage of sound waves from the outer ear to the inner ear. The middle ear is the place where this kind of hearing loss occurs. It can result from a buildup of ear wax or fluids, or from infections. Getting things (foreign bodies) stuck in your ear can also lead to the conductive hearing loss.
To summarize, infections of the inner ear can cause sensorineural hearing loss, while the infections in the outer and middle ears are responsible for the conductive hearing loss.
The Link Between Ear Infections And Childhood
The risk of ear infections tends to decrease with age. Your chances of getting frequent ear infections are much higher in your childhood and teenage years. There is a particular reason for this. Remember the Eustachian tube in the middle ear? It is the link between the middle ear and the rest of your head (through the throat). And the throat and nose area is a notoriously populated with harmful germs of all kind. The Eustachian tube is route one for these bugs to your ear.
And as a kid, your Eustachian tube has a different shape and alignment which makes it easier for germs to travel up to the middle ear. In growing children, the tube is shorter, straighter and more horizontally aligned. One of the purposes of the Eustachian tube is to drain excess fluids that build up in the ear, down into the throat. This is easier when the tube is more vertical, as it usually is in the case of adults.
During infection, the tube may get inflamed and blocked. This leads to stagnation of fluid in the ear, which attracts more bacteria from the throat through the tube. The situation is more severe in children since the horizontal tubes make it harder for the ears to drain properly at all times. As a kid, your Eustachian tube will also have a smaller opening, which is much easier to get clogged down.
Different Types Of Ear Infections
The middle ear is the site of most common ear infections. With its direct link to the throat and respiratory system, any infection of your nose or throat area can easily spread to the ear. The following are the common types of ear infections:
Outer Ear/Ear Canal Infections: The medical term for this is “otitis externa.” It is often caused by too much water or sand getting into your ear canal. As a result, it is also called “swimmer’s ear.” But water is not the only cause of this condition. Excessive cleaning of the ear canal can cause scratches that lead to inflammation. The risk is higher if you use sharper objects to clean your ear.
Skin conditions like dermatitis and eczema can also lead to otitis externa. Some shampoos and bubble baths can also cause skin reactions that lead to infection in your ear canal. The infection leads to blockage of the ear canal with fluids, leading to a partial hearing loss. Symptoms include pain in the ear and a liquid discharge from the ears. This is a less severe condition that is easily treated with antibiotic eardrops. The hearing returns to normal within a few days after the infection is treated.
Middle Ear Infections: They are called “otitis media” in medical textbooks. This is caused by a bacterial or viral infection in your eardrums and the other chambers in the middle ear. Colds and Throat infections are the usual culprits. The germs travel up the Eustachian tube and infect the middle ear, causing fluid buildup that leads to hearing loss. Depending on the severity of the infection and blockage, the hearing loss can be slight, partial, or even near total.
The symptoms include earaches, hearing loss, and fever. These infections can happen suddenly, as a result of a cold or flu, and are known as “acute otitis media.” If you suffer from otitis media and fail to seek treatment, the fluid can remain in the middle ear for weeks or months. This may lead to chronic ear infections, and those can have serious consequences. But generally, most acute otitis media are easily cured with antibiotics and ear drops. Many instances heal on their own without any special treatment.
Inner Ear Infections: These are mainly caused by viruses, often the same ones that cause colds, flu, throat and lung infections. The cochlea in your inner ear is affected, and this may or may not have serious consequences. Damage to the inner ear may lead to permanent hearing loss, so it is hard to predict if the hearing will fully recover in the case of these infections.
To summarize, ear infections can affect all three portions of your ear. The inner ear infections can potentially lead to permanent loss of hearing, regardless of timely treatment. But in the case of outer and middle ear treatments, the loss of hearing is usually curable. It is only when these conditions are left untreated for a long time that irreversible damage occurs.
Don’t play deaf when your ear tries to warn you! Chronic ear infections need treatment ASAP!! #HealthStatus
- 1Most ear infections are quite harmless, and the loss of hearing is easily recoverable.
- 2If left untreated, they can progress into a chronic ear infection, cause permanent loss of hearing, and even potentially life-threatening conditions.
- 3Don’t let an ear infection fester for too long, seek prompt medical treatment if the symptoms persist for several days.
How Ear Infections Can Lead To Permanent Hearing Loss
Most ear infections are usually quite harmless, like the common cold. The real concern arises when the conditions persist for weeks or months. This is a sign of chronic infection, and it results in the build up for fluids in the middle ear area. When fluids persist in the middle ear, they increase pressure on your eardrums, and these might eventually burst. Though it sounds rather scary, this is a quite harmless defense mechanism used by your body to avoid more serious issues. The burst eardrum should heal within a few days.
But when the infection is left untreated, fluid build up continues and eventually cause permanent damage to the parts and structures within the ear. The infected fluid contains pus and germs and can cause serious damage to the tissue and delicate bones inside your ear. Cholesteatoma is such a condition, where chronic middle ear infection leads to abnormal growth of skill cells in the middle ear. This growth can block sounds, and result in conductive hearing loss.
In the case of viral inner ear infections, the chance of permanent hearing loss is always there, regardless of treatment. Any infection in the inner ear can cause permanent damage to the hearing organs there. And the risks obviously increase the longer you leave the symptoms untreated. And it is not just loss of hearing that you have to be concerned about. The ear is situated inside your head, close to the brain. With chronic infections inside your head, there is always the chance of the infection spreading to other parts, especially the brain. This can lead to severely life-threatening conditions like brain abscesses, and mastoiditis (infection of the skull bones).
When To Seek Treatment
Ordinary ear infections are mild conditions that may resolve themselves without treatment. But you have no way of figuring out if what you have is the sign of a simple bacterial illness or serious viral infection of the inner ear. There are also other serious diseases and conditions, like Meniere’s Disease, Otosclerosis, and trauma caused by physical injury or loud noises. Most harmless incidents of ear infections should subside within a day or two. If symptoms like hearing loss, pain, and liquid discharge from the ear persist for more than a couple of days, it is better to visit your doctor.
If you have persistent or recurring symptoms over weeks or months, that is usually a sign of chronic ear infection. You should fix up an appointment at the earliest with your doctor, or an ENT specialist. If there is structural damage to your ear, you might be asked to consult an Otorhinolaryngologist (basically an ENT surgeon). Though advanced cases may require surgery, most cases of infection can be treated medication. But for that, you need to visit the doctor as early as possible. Diagnosis of ear infections is quite straightforward and does not usually require advanced scans.
Ear infections in children are quite similar to those that happen to adults; they just tend to get it more often. The risk and severity levels are also the same. But in the case of children, chronic hearing loss at such crucial learning period in their life can have a profound psychological impact. So if your child is suffering from frequent bouts of ear infection and loss of hearing, you should get it looked at by a specialist at the earliest.
Common Symptoms to watch out for include:
- Persistent pain or ache in ears (either one or both)
- Pus/fluid is draining from the ear.
- Partial or near total deafness in the affected ear.
In Young Children:
- Babies are crying more frequently.
- Trouble in sleeping.
- Not responding to sounds.
- Pain/Ache in ears, more severe when lying down.
- Fever above 100 F/ 38 C
- Lack of proper balance.

The Cardinals, Giants, Lions and Colts still have coaching vacancies, but this morning, the Titans added themselves to the list when they and coach Mike Mularkey agreed to part ways. The rules say coaches still in the postseason can only interview again next week if they had been interviewed once already, but Ian Rapoport tweeted that meant any coach who had been interviewed period, not just by the Titans. So they have a small window for the Super Bowl coaches. Obviously, by next week, there will be only two teams left playing.
Also Monday came a bunch of reports of coaches heading places, none official yet but certainly more strong than previously. With those reports, Pats DC Matt Patricia will coach the Lions, the Giants have Pat Shurmur as their frontrunner and the Colts would get Josh McDaniels. There have been no such reports on the Cards (or the Titans, obviously). Patricia and Shurmur were both on the Cards' candidate list and it was reported that the Cards like Shurmur. It will be interesting to see if the Cards get any more clarity this week.

Minister Sengebau Signs Contract Agreement for the Construction of the Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center
The Ministry of Natural Resources, Environment and Tourism has entered into an agreement with Iwata Chizaki Inc., a Japanese based company, for the construction of the new Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center in Malakal, Koror.
On August 24th, Minister Umiich Sengebau and Mr. Masayoshi Morita, General Manager of Iwata Chizaki Inc.’s Overseas Operation Division signed the contract agreement during the signing ceremony held in Japan. The contract signing signals the implementation of the project entitled “The Project for Renovation of Palau Mariculture Demonstration Center Facility” awarded through a grant by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to the Republic of Palau on October 12, 2016.
In his special remarks during the signing ceremony, Minister Sengebau expressed his appreciation to the People and Government of Japan for this generous grant aid and their long withstanding friendship and partnership with Palau. He further added, “This project will help address our food security by providing readily available clam meat through restocking efforts of wild clam populations and further support local clam farmers livelihood with income through sales of their cultured clams.”
The project valued at $6.6 million will significantly enhance Palau’s clam seedling production capacity from its currently 200,000 seedlings annually to approximately 1 million, which is anticipated to provide more opportunities and resources to farmers and the public alike. Additionally, through this project, the Center will be fully equipped with a Marine Resources Library, two research laboratories and additional office space to house staff and technicians.
Minister Sengebau and Public Works Director/CIP Manager Brian Melairei represented the People and Government of the Republic of Palau to Japan in attendance of the signing ceremony hosted by Iwata Chizaki Inc.

Indian race walker Rani Yadav has tested positive for a banned steroid and provisionally suspended from the Commonwealth Games, the Games Federation (CGF) said on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old, who finished sixth in the women’s 20km race walk last Saturday, will have a hearing later on Wednesday.
“The CGF can now confirm that the A sample of Ms Rani Yadav … was found to contain 19-Norandrosterone, a prohibited anabolic agent under category S1 of the Wada [World Anti-Doping Agency] list of prohibited substances and methods,” read a statement.
Norandrosterone is a metabolite of the banned muscle-building steroid nandrolone.
Yadav is the third athlete to fail a dope test at the Games after Nigerians Osayemi Oludamola, who was stripped of the 100m gold medal, and 110m hurdler Samuel Okon.
“It’s very unfortunate,” Lalit Bhanot, secretary general of the local organising committee, told a news conference.
“We tried our level best. Not only the federations but also the National Anti-Doping Agency [Nada] tried with our out-of-competition tests.
“The government is very serious about these things. One can’t be controlled if the person is trying to take some forbidden substance to enhance their performance.”
More than 1 300 tests had been performed until the end of Tuesday, Games Federation chief Mike Fennell said, and there had been three positive tests.
Oludamola lost the 100m title on Tuesday after her B sample confirmed a positive test for a banned stimulant.
Okon also tested positive for methylhexaneamine but waived his right to have his B sample tested and was also disqualified.
Doping has been a recurring problem in India with weightlifting producing the highest number of offenders.
“We had taken 727 samples from the India Commonwealth Games probable team and some were even removed from the final team after testing positive,” Dr Rahul Bhatnagar, the director general of India’s National Anti-Doping Agency, told Reuters.
“We wanted to send out the message that we won’t tolerate doping. If one has been caught, it will be a lesson to all the athletes.” — Reuters


- With its stores closed and liquidity constrained, Stage Stores sought new concessions on payment terms and existing orders from its vendors in a memo to its supplier network.
- In a memo last week, obtained by Retail Dive and previously reported on by Reuters, Stage Stores CEO Michael Glazer and Chief Merchandising Officer Thorsten Weber said that the vendor concessions would be necessary in negotiating new capital and avoiding Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
- In a securities filing last week, Stage Stores said it entered a forbearance agreement with Wells Fargo that, among other things, reduced its revolving loan commitments to $250,000,000 from $425,000,000, increased the outstanding loan balance by $2.4 million and nixed Stage's ability to get a seasonal increase in its revolver.
Stage Stores was already under financial stress before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The company had been working on an ambitious plan to rapidly convert from primarily a department store retailer to an off-pricer. But its fourth-quarter sales fell short of projections, creating a liquidity crunch that sent the company scrambling to revise its plans, which some say were always too ambitious.
As Glazer and Weber tell it, after a disappointing fourth quarter the retailer's lenders became "increasingly impatient with us and unwilling to finance our store conversions," they said in the memo. "Our lenders made it clear that they believed we needed to reduce our borrowings under the credit facility. This forced us to slow pay our merchandise vendors. In turn, the response from our merchandise vendors was to require faster payments."
As Retail Dive previously reported, Stage Stores after announcing its holiday results moved quietly to lay off corporate staff and close stores, pared its footprint well below that of its initial plans and worked to convert all of its remaining department stores to the off-price Gordmans banner, which Stage picked up 2017.
In their memo, the executives referenced that the store chain would emerge with "up to 650" Gordmans stores, below the 700 originally planned. Sources have told Retail Dive that the go-forward footprint could be as low as 500, though the situation appears fluid as the company negotiates with potential financial partners.
Complicating all of this is a nationwide pandemic that has shut down much of the retail world, including Stage Stores. The company previously announced it would close all of its 738 stores and furlough its store workers and most of its corporate staff.
The disruption from COVID-19 has already broken plans and sent other retailers deeper into financial turmoil. Just last week, Stein Mart's acquisition by a private equity firm was called off, and Neiman Marcus and J.C. Penney each missed interest payments, raising the prospects of bankruptcy filings.
Stage executives say they are working to avoid a filing and hinted to their suppliers that they would be better off giving Stage concessions now, through extended payment terms, than they would if the company filed.

Title: A Tale of Two Cities
Author: Charles Dickens
Genre: Classic Historical Fiction
Rating: 4.5 of 5
I enjoy Charles Dickens. I don’t (usually) mind his wordy style, ridiculous names, amazingly convenient coincidences, or overblown page counts because he creates such wonderful, memorable characters and situations. That said, it took me several tries over quite a few years before I managed to slog through the first chapter or two of this book. Once the book gets going, it becomes clear that its status as one of Dickens’ most celebrated novels is richly deserved.
To me, much of the book’s impact was in the setting and events more than in individual characters, as is more usual with Dickens. I’m not sure how the people of France view the French Revolution, but this book crystallizes the horrified British view of the bloody affair. Dickens vividly portrays both the cavalier abuse of the poor by the Ancien Regime and the almost bestial vengeance of the mob once the tables were turned.
As always, Dickens’ cast of characters contain a wonderful mixture of the pathetic, the loving/virtuous, the ridiculous, and the loathsome. The two most prominent women were the best of characters and the worst of characters (come on…you know I had to make at least one comment like that). Lucie Manette is virtuous, loving, and completely flat: very much the ideal Victorian “angel in the house”…blech. Madame DeFarge, on the other hand, is truly terrifying as she embodies the bloodthirsty implacability of the Revolution. She may have been the most interesting/memorable character in the book until she was beautifully upstaged at the end by true love and redemption (“It is a far, far better thing that I do…”).
Overall, Dickens’ lone foray into historical fiction deserves its reputation. As long as you don’t completely hate Dickens’ style, you should read it. Don’t let the first chapter or two stop you.

The Canterbury District Health Board said all of the test results to date have returned negative results.
Brookhaven Retirement Village in Woolston and Village Palms Retirement Community in Shirley went into lockdown on Tuesday.
Brookhaven reportedly tested eight of its residents and put them in isolation after they displayed flu-like symptoms.
Village Palms advised family members it was in lockdown after residents began displaying symptoms of a respiratory illness.
Medical Officer of Health Dr Cheryl Brunton said there are many different flu-like respiratory illnesses circulating at this time of year.
"These rest homes are to be commended for proactively taking steps to protect their residents and staff. Many residents have been swabbed and to date all test results have returned negative for COVID-19. At this time of year there are many different flu-like respiratory illnesses circulating and we expect this will continue into early spring as it does most years," Brunton said.
"When an Aged Residential Care facility has a resident or a group of residents who are unwell restricting visitors and isolating the resident/s is the most appropriate course of action. This is not new – taking a precautionary approach and keeping residents separate from each other and asking visitors to stay away is one of the most important actions ARC facilities can take to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. This protects other residents and staff.
"Isolation is the correct protocol for any infectious disease including norovirus (a vomiting and diarrhoea illness), influenza or other respiratory infections – including COVID-19, along with increasing the level of PPE used by staff, stringent attention to hand hygiene, and scrupulous cleaning of high touch point areas (such as door handles, keyboards, phones etc).
"We have good systems in place to support our response to outbreaks of any infectious diseases. Canterbury DHB’s Infection, Prevention and Control team along with Community & Public Health work collaboratively with Aged Residential Care providers to provide specialist advice when required."

GOVERNOR Willie Obiano of Anambra State, yesterday, urged ndi Anambra to be vigilant and pay greater attention to things that will help them survive the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as life is beginning to return to normal across the world.
The Governor, gave this advice in special broadcast on COVID-19, observed that people are all beginning to feel too relaxed with the virus and warned of the danger of dropping their vigilance and disobeying the COVID-19 protocols.
“In the sixth month of our fight against this global pandemic, we have found ourselves at the most difficult stage of this war. This stage is dangerous because after six months of living in the climate of this pandemic, we are all beginning to feel too relaxed with the virus. We are dropping our vigilance and disobeying the COVID-19 protocol. This is very dangerous!”
He reminded them that the key to their survival, which is maintaining the COVID-19 protocols in their hands.
“If we have survived this pandemic this far, then we can all strive to stay alive until we have a widely accepted cure and a tested and effective vaccine for it. The key to our own survival is in our hands. Ndi Anambra, let’s not throw our lives away. Let us strive to maintain the COVID-19 protocols in everything we do for the time being”.
He disclosed that the state has tested 1092 samples so far, with 922 negative,160 positive.
According to him, “out of this figure also, we have successfully treated and discharged 125 patients while 17 people are receiving treatment in their respective homes. So far, 18 people have died of COVID-19 in Anambra State. These 18 deaths were recorded in different parts of the state. Ndi Anambra, this calls for extreme caution. Nowhere is absolutely safe. COVID-19 is everywhere now”.
He further announced that GeneXpert Lab in Onitsha General Hospital has just been activated and has started conducting COVID-19 tests successfully, adding that the lab made history as Nigeria’s first General Hospital Laboratory to be activated for COVID-19 testing.
He urged Onitsha residents to feel free to walk into the hospital for a COVID-19 test at any time, He stated that the laboratory at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku, Awka, is also running tests on COVID-19 samples smoothly.

Taylor Swift Sparks Online Frenzy with New ‘1989’ Lyrics
In a sneak peek shared on Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Taylor Swift showcased handwritten lines from her notebook that
In a sneak peek shared on Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Taylor Swift showcased handwritten lines from her notebook that left fans guessing. The intriguing lines read:
“Let’s fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later
I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters.”
While the source of these lyrics remains a mystery, ardent Swifties on Twitter were in a frenzy on Tuesday, as the rumor spread that these lyrics belong to one of the previously unreleased vault tracks. Each of Taylor’s previous re-recording projects have included previously unreleased vault tracks. These lyrics, which appear to be unrelated to any of her current discography, suggests that ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ will have new vault tracks as well, giving Swifties new music.
The highly anticipated release of ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ is just around the corner, set for October 27th. This reimagined album will include all 16 original and bonus tracks from the 2014 hit, along with previously unveiled ‘Vault’ tracks such as “Is It Over Now?,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Slut!,” and “Suburban Legends.”
‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ marks Swift’s fourth release under her re-recording project, which she initiated in 2019. The three preceding albums, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), all claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 charts, demonstrating Swift’s enduring musical prowess.

That Mr Jack Straw and Paddy Tipping be discharged from the Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons and Ms Harriet Harman and Chris Bryant be added. [Claire Ward.]
The Leader of the House of Commons (Ms Harriet Harman): We now debate the Governments draft legislative programmethe list of Bills that we are considering for the next Session. The Prime Minister has said that he wants to see, as part of his constitutional reform agenda, stronger accountability of the Government to Parliament and greater engagement between Parliament and the people. The change in the way that we plan to announce our legislative programme marks a step forward in those respects. Here in Parliament we spend most of our time legislating, so it is right that Parliament should have early sight of the Governments thinking on what we will be asking it to consider. That will allow hon. Members to look at the overall shape of our programme before it is set in stone and will help members of the public and interested parties to give their views to hon. Members. This debate is to enable hon. Members to give their preliminary views on the draft legislative programme, which has been sent to all hon. Members and is on the Governments websites.
Officially, the contents of our legislative programme have always remained secret until the Queens Speech at the state opening of Parliament. However, because of the necessary discussion that has to go on between Government Departments and stakeholders, information does of course get into the public domain, but it does so in the worst wayunofficially and piecemeal. Lobbying firms and political consultancies get paid millions of pounds to guess for their clients what is likely to be in the Queens Speech. However, while bits and pieces are glimpsed unofficially, the work of the Government in putting together their legislative programme has hitherto gone on behind closed doors, with no one outside Government able to see the overview of the legislative programme as a whole until the whole thing is ready to steam ahead into Parliament. Those outside, because they have not been allowed to know before the Queens Speech what the Government are doing, cannot have sensible discussions with the Government. This time last year, I knew that the draft coroners Bill was not in the legislative programme. Those concernedcoroners, organisations of bereaved relatives, and lawyers who specialise in inquest workwere lobbying for changes to the Bill. They would have been better off lobbying for the Bill to be in the legislative programme, but I could not tell them that what mattered at that stage was not some amendments but the fact that it was not even in the programme. It makes sense for people to be able to see the work that is under way in Government before it is set in tablets of stone. This does not in any way change the state opening, the Queens Speech and the role of Her Majesty the Queen in setting out the Governments concluded plans for the Session.
The publication of our draft programme builds on a number of steps that we have taken to improve the ability of this House to scrutinise legislation. We already publish some Bills in draft. To date, we have published 58 Bills in draft since 1997. During this Session we published four bills in draft: the regulatory
enforcement and sanctions Bill, the human tissue and embryos Bill, the climate change Bill and the local transport Bill. I recognise that we would all like to see more Bills published in draft. During the next Session, we intend to publish in draft an equalities Bill, a marine Bill, a heritage protection Bill and a cultural property and armed conflicts Bill.
I can announce today that following the publication of the draft Coroners Bill and its plain English translation, I have asked parliamentary counsel to produce alongside the draft marine Bill a plain language version in time for its introduction. It is my intention that in publishing our draft programme, we should work towards publishing at least one plain language version per Session.
There has also been the Public Bill Committee procedure which, during the current Session, has meant that Government Bills starting in the Commons after Christmas have been subject to additional scrutiny. The UK Borders Bill and the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill have been considered in this way. From the start of the next Session, all Government Bills starting in the Commons will be subject to this procedure, which, by the taking of oral and written evidence from Ministers and other interested parties, as with the Select Committee process, means that there is more extensive scrutiny.
David Wright (Telford) (Lab): I very much welcome the Governments move to increase scrutiny prior to the publication of Bills and draft Bills. Would my right hon. and learned Friend consider opportunities to lay out at an early point the amount of time each Bill will take during a Session, and how much time will be made available on the Floor of the House? In particular, could we consider opportunities to have two-day debates for the Second Reading of Bills, particularly for important ones?
Ms Harman: The Modernisation Committee has considered the amount of time available for Back Benchers when important Bills are introduced, and one of the proposals under consideration is the limitation of Front Bench speeches, so I shall move on quickly with the rest of my comments.
The draft legislative programme before the House is not, of course, the final programme. There will be further careful consideration of the Bills that should form part of our legislative programme both by the Cabinet Committee and by Cabinet. It is always possible that new priorities will emerge, and it is always possible that some Bills will not get to the finishing line because there are problems with the policy or the cost. Constraints of parliamentary time mean that the Government are limited to about 28 Bills per Session, so some will have to wait for the next one. If a Bill is not in the draft programme, that does not mean it is a dead duck. It may still come forward either as a gap emerges in the current programme, or in the next programme.
Mrs. Theresa May (Maidenhead) (Con):
I have listened carefully to the right hon. and learned Ladys answer to the hon. Member for Telford (David Wright), and to what she has said since, and I hoped that she would be able to give a commitment to the principle
that two days would be given to Second Reading of some important Bills, and that more time should be given to Report and Third Reading on some occasionsa point raised by the Modernisation Committee. Report stage in particular should be given this time because it is an opportunity for Back Benchers who do not serve on a Bills Committee to raise issues in the House.
Ms Harman: As the right hon. Lady knows, it is important for us to see whether we can give enough time on the Floor of the House to Bills that a number of hon. Members want to speak about. From time to time, that has been done, but I understand that there are proposals that the process should be more systematic and routine. Obviously, those will have to be considered.
I said that if a Bill is not in the draft programme, that does not mean that it will not come forward in the future, and nor does the draft legislative programme substitute for, or cut across, more detailed consultations on Bills that will be led by the Departments concerned. I am a firm believer that the more open the debate, the better the final outcome, and it is in that spirit that we have published the draft legislative programme.
I am grateful to the Liaison Committee for agreeing to undertake detailed scrutiny of this legislative programme. I and the Secretary of State for Justice are to give evidence to it in October. There will be public consultation meetings in each region, facilitated by the Government office in the region, and the Cabinet Office will co-ordinate that consultation process.
Simon Hughes (North Southwark and Bermondsey) (LD): If consultation is to be meaningful and not thought to be a gimmickI welcome the idea of thatwill the Leader of the House undertake to ensure that a summary of consultation results will be available to colleagues, and that the consultation will end in sufficient time for it to be able to influence the outcome? People would know that the consultation would end by the first week in October, or something, we would see the results, and there would be a real dialogue with the Government in the month running up to the Queens Speech.
Ms Harman: Of course we will publish the results of the consultation. Next year, one of the things we should do is start this process earlier, but it started under the new Prime Minister, so there is not as much time for people to consider the draft legislative programme as there will be next year. This is a truncated version of the process; I hope that hon. Members will bear with us and recognise that.
Mark Lazarowicz (Edinburgh, North and Leith) (Lab/Co-op): In the other nations of the UK, where there are no regional offices, will the Scotland Office, Wales Office and Northern Ireland Office ensure similar consultation?
Ms Harman: I am sure that that will be the case. Our officials have liaised with officials in the devolved Administrations and I have discussed the process with the First Ministers in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
Having set out the reasons behind, and the process of publishing, our draft legislative programme, I will deal with its content. I do that simply by reminding the House of the Prime Ministers words on 11 July. He said that the programme seeks to
respond to the rising aspirations of the British people
new and better opportunities in education, employment and the provision of housing and health care,
that in a fast-changing world there is opportunity and security not just for some people, but for all the British people.[ Official Report, 11 July 2007; Vol. 462, c. 1449.]
There will be an education and skills Bill to enable all young people to stay in education or training till 18. There will be a new pensions Bill to ensure that all working people have the right to a workplace pension, with a duty on every employer to contribute towards it. There will be a new housing and regeneration Bill, which will help put affordable housing within the reach of those who cannot afford to buy or rent.
There will be a health and social care Bill to create a stronger health and social care regulator and ensure better access for patients to clean and safe services. There will be Bills on children in care, and the Government have already introduced the Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill for carry-over into the next Session. The unclaimed assets Bill will allow money in dormant bank accounts to go towards improving our countrys youth and community facilities.
The regulatory enforcement and sanctions Bill will support business by keeping regulation of compliant businesses to a minimum, while targeting and penalising those that deliberately disregard the law. The employment simplification Bill will deliver simpler and fairer enforcement of the national minimum wage.
Protecting the security and safety of the British people is paramount for every Government, so we have introduced the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, which will be carried over into the next Session, and we stand ready to include provisions that come from the review of policing by Sir Ronald Flanagan.
Mrs. May: I am grateful to the right hon. and learned Lady for her generosity in giving way to me a second time. Several Bills that she mentioned will have financial provisions. Last week, the Government exercised parliamentary privilege and prevented the other place from debating amendments to the Pensions Bill, claiming that they were financial provisions and should not be debated again in the Lords. They could not therefore be brought back to the Chamber. Will the right hon. and learned Lady set out her definition of a money Bill as opposed to a Bill with financial provisions?
Hon. Members have read the proposed legislative programme in our Green Paper, so I will say no more about the detail but give them the opportunity to present their views in the debate. I look forward to hearing hon. Members views on not only the content but the process.
Richard Burden (Birmingham, Northfield) (Lab): I want to ask about the constitutional reform Bill and its relationship with other measures. Many of us welcome its proposed provisions, not only those to rebalance the relationship between Parliament and the Executive, but those on devolution to the regions. However, the devolution mechanisms in the Bill and the people power elements in, for example, the housing and regeneration Bill, should be tied together in the consultations that will take place in the regions. If reform is perceived as a dry constitutional matter, it will not fire people with the enthusiasm that it would engender if the two measures were related in the consultation.
Ms Harman: My hon. Friend is right. However, I emphasise that, this time round, it will not be a Rolls- Royce process of consultation because we are starting late. We are simply putting a window on the front of Government activities. A great deal of activity goes on in preparing and planning the legislative programme. That is important in the context of what the House ultimately has to consider in the Governments proposed legislation. For the first time, people will be able to see the process before it is set in tablets of stone.
Mrs. Theresa May (Maidenhead) (Con): I welcome the opportunity for the House to debate the draft legislative programme. I also welcome the fact that the right hon. and learned Lady listened to hon. Members concerns and staged this debate separately from tomorrows summer recess Adjournment debate. As she mentioned, the publication of the draft legislative programme was one of the proposals contained in the Prime Ministers statement on The Governance of Britain, which also leads to the constitutional reform Bill.
I wish that I could welcome the Prime Ministers new-found commitment to Parliament. If only it were genuine! Much has been made of his determination to make statements to the House before briefing the media. When he made his statement on the constitution to the House, everyone was impressed that he had not gone on the Today programme to talk about it there first. After the previous Prime Minister, who was so obsessed with spin, here was a new Prime Minister who put Parliament firstat least, so said his spin doctors.
The Prime Ministers statement included proposals to allow Parliament to vote on whether we go to war, to request the dissolution and recall of Parliament, to ratify international treaties, and to scrutinise public appointments, as well as proposals to remove the prime ministerial power to appoint bishops. That was in the statement made on 3 July, but on 2 July The Daily Telegraph reported:
Gordon Brown will this week propose...giving up royal prerogatives traditionally exercised by the prime minister, such as the power to declare war without parliamentary approval or to
appoint bishops to the Church of England. The House of Commons will be given new powers, including the right for MPs to recall Parliament during a recess if there is a national emergency, to hold American-style confirmation hearings...and to ratify international treaties.
I imagine The Daily Telegraph just made five lucky guesses. The same must be true of The Independents coverage of the right to trigger legislation by petition on 28 February, The Guardians prediction of citizens juries on 27 February and the predictions by The Times of a new ministerial code on 16 May and of a new Bill of Rights on 1 July. Before I talk about the draft legislative programme, I want to make one thing clear. All the bluster about announcing things to Parliament first was just that: bluster. There is already a whole list of examples of how the Prime Minister has treated Parliament and hon. Members with disdain.
The Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, promised in the previous Queens Speech, will have its Second Reading in October, just a couple of weeks before the end of the Session. It is going to be a carry-over Bill, but the carry-over procedure was introduced for Bills that had nearly completed their parliamentary stages, not Bills at the very beginning. The Prime Minister has twice reversed policyfirst on casinos, secondly on cannabisin response to planted questions during Prime Ministers questions rather than in an oral statement, which would have given hon. Members the chance to ask questions of the Minister concerned. The Prime Minister has since insinuated to a press conferencenot to Parliamentthat he might reverse the liberalisation of licensing laws. Those proposals are not in the draft legislative programme.
As we discussed in a previous debate this evening, the Prime Minister has also confirmed that Parliamentary Private Secretaries will sit on Select Committees. They might not be formal members of the Government, but they work for Ministers. That is a conflict of interest, but the Prime Minister has ignored it. As I mentioned in my intervention on the right hon. and learned Lady, the Prime Minister also opted to use parliamentary privilege to override the other place, after it voted for a lifeboat fund to compensate properly the 125,000 people who have lost their pension savings. If the Prime Minister trusts Parliament, why has he completely ignored the wishes of the other place?
The Prime Minister is also ready to sign the latest EU treaty, as he made clear in Prime Ministers questions today, which would subjugate the Westminster Parliament to the institutions of the European Union. The conclusions of the previous European Council state:
National parliaments shall contribute actively to the good functioning of the Union.
The Prime Minister, who supposedly believes in the sovereignty of Parliament, is therefore happy to sign a treaty that places upon Parliament an obligation to do whatever the European Court of Justice decides is for the good functioning of the European Union. No, the Prime Minister does not believe in putting Parliament first.

I’ve had this granola bar recipe sitting in my post queue for months now, waiting for me to get it right. Sadly, I’m still waiting. I’ve made it a few times, and tinkered quite a bit: thick bars, thin bars, more sugar, less sugar, different fats, different amounts of fruit & nuts. Don’t get me wrong, these are tasty: a lot less dry and sawdusty than your typical grocery store “health” bar, and a lot less sweet than the candy bars that masquerade as granola bars these days. This batch has a nice coconuty flavor from the coconut oil and dried coconut, are not overly sweet, and are nice and toothsome (there’s that word again) due to the raisins, cranberries and dried blueberries in the mix. They just don’t have that perfect texture I’m searching for: chewy without being sticky, crisp without being crumbly. Granola bar nirvana, in other words.
As I said, I’ve tinkered quite a bit. The problem being that, unless I am actually posting the recipe, my notes tend to be rather haphazard (What does +/- 2 t S mean to you? Yep, not much to me either.). So I’m tossing this one up here in the hopes that you have some secret tricks to share: does the corn syrup really solve all my problems? Am I simply cramming in too much of the good stuff (fruit, nuts, seeds)? Have you achieved Granola Bar Nirvana? Enquiring minds want to know.
- 1 and 2/3 cups oats (original recipe recommends quick rolled oats, which I did not use)
- 1/3 cup oat flour (1/3 cup oats pulsed in food processor until finely ground)
- 1/2 cup raw sugar
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp bulghur wheat
- 1/3 cup coconut flakes
- 3 cups (about 15 oz) dried fruit, nuts and seeds*
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp coconut oil (extra virgin)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp water
*I used about 1/2 cup each of almonds, walnuts, raisins, dried cranberries & blueberries, and 2 tbsp each of pepitas, flax seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9″ X 13″ baking pan with one sheet of parchment; spray parchment and sides of pan lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, including sugar, dried fruit & nuts, and mix well. In a small, heat-safe bowl, melt butter and coconut oil together; add maple syrup, honey and water and mix to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to dry; mix thoroughly until dry ingredients are evenly wet. Press into parchment-lined pan, using a sheet of wax paper or plastic wrap to evenly press into corners.
- Bake for 35 – 45 minutes, until the edges and top are browning and the granola smells very fragrant; the middle will still be quite soft, but will firm up as it cools. Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing. Lift out of pan using parchment, then cut into bars using a long, stiff knife. If granola bars crumble, chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes and then slice.
Yields 18, 2 X 3-inch bars.
- The original King Arthur recipe calls for Sticky Bun Sugar which sounds, well, rather nasty. They offer a substitute of sugar, butter and corn syrup which is outlined in Deb’s recipe. I’ve omitted the corn syrup in my attempts, but I might try it next time; my bars just do not come out all that chewy, and if 2 tbsp of corn syrup will do that without making the bars overly sweet, it might just be worth it.
- I used half-n-half coconut oil and butter as the fat, as I was concerned that a full 6 tbsp of coconut oil might be overwhelming, but the coconut flavor, while there, is fairly subtle. If you are a big fan of coconut, feel free to use all coconut oil.
- The original recipe calls for 25 minutes of cooking time; I went to 45 minutes. At 25 minutes, the bars were not browned at all and the oats seemed hardly toasted, but it could be that my lack of chewiness is due to overbaking. I may try to pre-toast the oats, then bake the bars for less time.
At room temperature in an airtight container, with bars separated by wax paper so they do not stick together. In humid weather, store in refrigerator.

Tyler Cameron is spilling the tea on how he really feels about Hannah Brown and Gigi Hadid.
According to a TikTok video shared by @bflyprincess3, the model from Jupiter, Fla. said he and the former Bachelorette are "friends."
"She's a good friend," he said in the clip.
He also said the supermodel is a "good girl."
"She's dating her old man now," Cameron added, seemingly referencing Zayn Malik.
As fans will recall, Brown and Cameron met on season 15 of The Bachelorette. The Alabama native sent the runner-up home during the finale and accepted a proposal from Jed Wyatt; however, the two called off the engagement after Brown learned he had been dating someone else right before the show.
Brown then asked Cameron out for a drink on After the Final Rose. While it looked like they were going to give their relationship another shot, that all changed after he sparked romance rumors with Hadid. The two reportedly dated for two months and split in the fall.
Still, fans continued to ship Cameron and Brown, especially after the reality stars were spotted hanging out in Florida last month. The reunion came in early March shortly after Cameron's mother, Andrea, passed away. A source told E! News Brown has "been there for Tyler" and that he is "grateful for her support." Cameron was then photographed picking up Brown from the airport again in mid-March. They then enjoyed visiting Palm Beach, working out, spending time with his friends and making several TikTok videos. While there appeared to be a few flirty exchanges, the celebs played coy about their relationship status. Now, it looks like Cameron is setting the record straight.
A source also told E! News that while there is "definite chemistry" between Brown and Cameron, "they are not dating."
"They both have expressed they are not in a position to date right now but do care about each other," the insider said last month. "They have both been through a lot recently and are supporting each other through it. Tyler has definitely been leaning on Hannah, and it feels very comforting to have her around. They have been social distancing together, hanging out and are having a lot of fun together. Hannah gets along with Tyler's family and friends and everyone loves her."
These two aren't the only ones in Bachelor Nation to raise a few eyebrows. Peter Weber, who also appeared on Brown's season and went on to star on The Bachelor, has recently been spotted hanging out with Kelley Flanagan. While Flanagan told E! News in mid-March she's "not dating Peter," the two have certainly been spending a lot of time together.
It looks like fans will just have to stay tuned to see how each of their journeys to find love continue.

Economists divide their discipline into two areas of study: microeconomics and macroeconomics. In this course we introduce you to the principles of macroeconomics: the study of how a country's economy works, while trying to discern among good, better, and best choices for improving and maintaining a nation's standard of living and level of economic and societal well-being.
1 Macroeconomics Macroeconomics (Greek makro = ‘big’) describes and explains economic processes that concern aggregates. An aggregate is a multitude of economic subjects that share some common features. By contrast, microeconomics treats economic processes that concern individuals.
Development of Modern Macro Economics. Macroeconomics evolves with the evolution of the economy. Macroeconomic theories change over time. They keep on changing because major economic events — such as the Great Depression of the s the Great Inflation of the s — bring into focus problems within a prevailing theory.
An economist who has studied new ways to improve measures of gross domestic product explains what GDP is and how it could better reflect an economy and the well-being of its inhabitants. New Keynesian ideas guide macroeconomic policy; they are the basis for the model of aggregate demand and aggregate supply with which we have been working.
To see how the new Keynesian school has come to dominate macroeconomic policy, we shall review the major macroeconomic events and policies of the s, s, and early s. The economic policies of the United States are driven and influenced by a wide variety of factors: laws, the Constitution, lobbyists, the global economic climate, and, ultimately, the will of the people.
We will examine the process of drafting one of the most closely watched economic policies in the world, the U.S.

This piper provides an overview of U.S. macroeconomic policy and performance in the s by first outlining the behavior of key economic variables and then discussing the policies that have affected these. Introduction. The topic of circular economy (CE) is high on the political agenda and in particular in Europe (EC, a, EC, b, EC, a), it is expected to promote economic growth by creating new businesses and job opportunities, saving materials’ cost, dampening price volatility, improving security of supply while at the same time reducing environmental pressures and impacts.

The book addresses the history of the interests, ideas, and practices of monetary and fiscal policies in the U.S., although it also examines macro-policies in Reviews: 2.Recognizing that a course in economics may seem daunting to some students, we have tried to make the writing clear and engaging.
Clarity comes in part from the intuitive presentation style, but we have also integrated a number of pedagogical features that we believe make learning economic concepts and principles easier and more fun. These features are very student-focused.

For anyone who thinks Britney Spears is feeling down following her split from David Lucado, think again!
Surrounded by her family as she performed last night in Las Vegas, the singer blasted her ex, much to the delight of the crowd.
According to a source at the show, the singer told the crowd, "Okay I know you all know my boyfriend cheated on me."
After much booing and hissing from the audience, she then said, "But the best part about your boyfriend cheating on you is that you get to go on another first date, OMG! "
And with that, Britney pulled a man from the audience onstage and threw a leash on him as she performed "Freakshow."
That man, by the way, was Perez Hilton.
"She looked like she was having fun with her performance," said the source, "like the breakup was fueling her to give it her all."
Also having fun were Britney's mom Lynne and dad Jamie, who were there with Britney's sons Sean Preston and Jaden, along with Britney's sister Jamie Lynn and her daughter Maddie.
Jamie Lynn and Lynne particularly seemed to like when Britney called out her ex.
"During the part when Britney blasted David on stage for cheating on her, they were smiling and clapping, obviously loving that Britney is showing signs of being over him," said the source.
"It's obvious that they are supportive of Britney moving on."

text: Whether you're into trance or not, there's one name that is synonymous to the genre, some regard him as the father or God of trance music and he is none other that Armin van Buuren. The work he's done over the past few decades has been immense, not only in terms of producing music, finding talent but the work done by his weekly podcast which just snowballed into something epic that is recognized world wide as one of the biggest trance music shows in the world. He used to celebrate every 50th episode in grand scale with shows around the globe, taking the music that people know and love to every corner of the earth, this year he celebrates the biggest milestone, being the 1000th episode, it's really unfortunate that it happen to fall while the world is still trying to get a grip with this ongoing pandemic but never the less, the show goes on. Every year a special "Anthem" is created by invited artist as the halo song for the celebration, its only fitting that Armin made this years anthem, and encapsulates everything there is to him, his show and what he stands for. "Turn The World Into A Dancefloor" is achieving just that, while we all cannot celebrate together in one space, we can do so in the safety and comfort of our own homes and Armin is giving us something to celebrate about. Congrats to Armin and the Armada team on 1000 episodes of A State of Trance, a monumental effort by all and here's to the next 1000!

Scientists have mapped out the alterations in metabolism that occur following a heart attack, and the results of their study were published recently in the open-access journal eLife.
Heart Attack. Image Credit: lovelyday12/Shutterstock.com
Their research in mice uncovered specific genes and metabolic pathways that could hinder or support recovery and may be ideal candidates for treatments to avoid damage following a heart attack.
Although some studies have looked at how changes in individual body tissues underlie mechanisms of disease, the crosstalk between different tissues and their dysregulation has not been examined in heart attacks or other cardiovascular-related complications.”
Muhammad Arif, Study First Author and PhD Student, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
“In this study, we performed an integrated analysis of heart and other metabolically active tissues using a mouse model of heart attack and used systems biology approaches to get a systematic picture of the metabolic changes that occur,” added Arif.
Systems biology has assisted in the development of novel therapeutic methods for a variety of diseases. Instead of taking systems apart and analyzing their components, the process involves taking measurements from various tissues and cells and using them to reproduce the system under study.
The team used a systems biology technique known as co-expression networks (CNs) in this study to demonstrate how the roles of genes in various tissues are related together.
First, they measured the function of all the genes of four tissue types in mice that had a heart attack: fat, liver skeletal muscle, and heart. They compared this to gene activity in mice that had not had a heart attack to produce sets of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were specific to each tissue.
Then, in the co-expression network study, they looked at the top 5% of genes that were the most closely related across the four tissues. They then used the DEG findings to look at how the top 5% of genes changed 24 hours after a heart attack.
They discovered essential clusters of genes that were altered in various tissues after a heart attack. Gene variations in the muscle and heart tended to be associated with energy production and muscle contraction. The gene modifications in the liver were linked to fat transport and metabolism, as well as the metabolism of cell-protecting substances like glutathione.
The researchers then used this data to create a multi-tissue model of the metabolic response to a heart attack and compared their findings to previous research on heart tissue. Four genes were shown to be consistently altered in all experiments.
These genes are believed to be involved in muscle contraction, energy production, and protein production, and at least one of them is being investigated as a potential drug target for cardiovascular disease.
Taken together, the findings show that after a heart attack, there is a decrease in heart-specific functions and an increase in fat metabolism and inflammation in the muscle, heart, and fat tissue. The team observed a distinct reaction in the liver, where inflammation was decreased.
Our integrative analysis highlights both common and tissue-specific biological responses to a heart attack across a range of metabolically active tissues. The approach demonstrates a way of using multi-tissue gene activity data to identify changes in biological processes and pathways and systematically explore the effects of a disease.”
Adil Mardinoglu, Study Senior Author and Professor, Systems Biology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, King’s College London, UK
“This opens up new opportunities for future research into the pathways identified, and the potential to use a similar approach to understand other complex human diseases,” concluded Mardinoglu.

Assessment of dogs’ stress levels at the veterinary clinic is important for dog welfare as well as the safety of the personnel. But how could this be done in a feasible way?
In this study from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, dog stress and pain were assessed by both the dog owner, the test leader, the veterinary nurse and the veterinarian. The results were then compared with the dog’s reactions in different behavioural tests inside and outside the clinic.
Results in general showed good agreement between the different assessors. The most relevant behaviour test was social contact, as dogs assessed to be more stressed were less likely to engage in social contact with an unfamiliar person. Dogs were also more willing to play and eat a treat outside the veterinary clinic compared to inside the clinic, implying that dogs experienced being inside the clinic as more negative. In addition, the dog owner responded to questionnaires about the dog-owner relationship, and comparisons indicated that the type of relationship the owner has with the dog may influence the dog's behavior during the clinical examination. This suggests that there is potential for a system to be developed to assess the extent to which the dog is stressed in the clinic.

When I was invited to join a UJIA mission to Israel last month, I participated with a degree of apprehension. Not because of the security situation or the ongoing missile attacks, but more because I just wasn’t sure why I needed to go. What difference would my three-day presence make? Yet my prevailing thought was that by going and seeing what had happened for myself, I would be in a position to bear witness. This made sense. It is, after all, what sits behind so much Holocaust education. Experiences such as March of the Living are built on the notion that, “When you listen to a witness, you become a witness”. As we made our way south to Kfar Aza, less than two miles from the Gaza border, I had Elie Wiesel’s words echoing in my mind.
There was something unbelievable, almost implausible, to what we saw. A site that just a few weeks earlier had been home to more than 700 people was desolate, save the IDF soldiers for whom the kibbutz was now a makeshift base. There was a movie-set feel to the place. One created by the most fastidious art department under the watchful eye of a director with an unparalleled attention to detail. The bullet shells strewn across the floor, the blood on the bedroom walls, the shattered window panes and the burnt roofs. The smell of death and the absence of life. This was October 7 on repeat. And for those that survived the massacre, perhaps it always will be.
In preparing to visit the communities in the so-called Gaza envelope, I had tried to imagine what it would be like. My only frame of reference was previous trips to the concentration camps of Poland. Memorials to the lives lost and a reminder of what the very worst of humanity is capable of. But Kfar Aza is no memorial. The artefacts are not set out like a museum to provide an education. The abandoned motorbike that transported a Hamas terrorist across the border still had petrol in the tank. The hole in the fence was the exit point from heaven to hell for the numerous residents still held hostage by their captors. Every last detail is a reminder of the intimately personal nature of the atrocity. We were told that when the terrorists had done with the raping and murdering they sat in their victims’ kitchens and made themselves lunch.
Those who lost their physical home that day attempt to retain the last remnants of community in the lounges and dining rooms of Dead Sea hotels. These are the survivors. Refugees in their own country, living an existence that is nether here nor there. They simultaneously mourn their dead, await news of loved ones still missing and tell the tales of the miracles that spared their lives. For all the horror of the devastation, destruction and death at Kfar Aza, nothing prepared me for this. It is impossible not to be moved by the 86-year-old Holocaust survivor who, once again, is questioning where on earth it is safe to live as a Jew. She thought she knew the answer. Now she’s not so sure.
There is a functionality to bearing witness. The responsibility is straightforward. Listen and repeat. In the immediate aftermath of October 7, we can and must do more. It starts now with the support we can provide to Israel’s tens of thousands of victims of terror and trauma. Tomorrow it will be as partners in the physical rebuilding of the south, so that the thriving communities that were destroyed can live once more. And in the future it will be a partnership that reshapes the Jewish state and its relationship with Jews around the world.
Israel is more than a strip of land. It is more than a Jewish home located among the many neighbours who wish it to disappear. Israel is its people. Those that live within its borders and those across the globe whose lives are inextricably linked to its past, present and future. We are more than witnesses. This is our story too.

A Liberal Democrat government would not allow expansion of Heathrow or Gatwick, the party declared today.
Its election manifesto also ruled out a new airport in the Thames Estuary and a further runway at Stansted.
The Sir Howard Davies-led Airports Commission is due to recommend this summer which of the two main London airports should be allowed a new runway to alleviate air capacity concerns in the South East.
But the Liberal Democrat manifesto said: “We remain opposed to any expansion of Heathrow, Stansted or Gatwick and any new airport in the Thames Estuary, because of local issues of air and noise pollution. We will ensure no net increase in runways across the UK.”
The party did pledge to back HS2 and to extend the line to Scotland, as part of a raft of rail investment measures.
These included reopening small stations, upgrading major routes, improving rail links in the North, modernising lines in the South West and connecting Oxford and Cambridge.
Plans to attract more than £100bn private investment in low carbon energy infrastructure by 2020 were also set out. From 2030, all new gas stations would require carbon capture and storage technology.
Onshore wind and nuclear power would have a role to play.
The manifesto added: “In our Spending Review, we will set out long-term plans for capital expenditure, and ensure that investment in infrastructure, including in housing and energy efficiency, continues to rise both in absolute terms and as a share of the economy.
“We will grow a high-skill, low-carbon economy by supporting education, training, infrastructure, innovation and technology. With a stable, competitive business environment and investment in green industries and infrastructure, we will ensure growth is embedded in every part of the UK.”
The Liberal Democrats promised to devolve more economic decision-making to local areas, including the transfer of transport, housing and infrastructure funding. They would urge councils to consider trams and light rail systems in towns and cities.
