{"text": "Little Peanut’s Story\nI have owned my little palomino mini mare, Peanut, since she was three months old. Although she is tiny, she packs a lot of personality into that little body. And, if there's one thing that Peanut usually loves, it’s mealtime. However, this wasn't the case in mid-November when I received a call from Dr. Linda Neimeier of Haymarket Vet, the owner of the farm where Peanut lives, saying “Peanut isn't feeling very well this morning. She isn't hungry for her breakfast, and she isn't acting normally.\" Of course, I jumped in my car and headed to the farm. When I got there, I saw that Dr. Neimeier was right - Peanut was lethargic and clearly uncomfortable.\nLittle Peanut had very recently been treated for a corneal abcess, and the pain from this, combined with her medication and a long trip down to NC State for treatment, just hadn't agreed with her. For two days and nights, she was treated on the farm for colic, but she wasn't improving. The decision then was made to bring her to the EMC.\nWe were met upon arrival by Dr. MacDonald and Dr. Reig. After their initial assessment, it was thought that Peanut probably had a bowel impaction. For the next week and a half, she was treated with IV fluids, NG lavages, Lidocaine, and Dextrose as this gradually resolved. Throughout this entire process, I knew that Peanut couldn't have been in better hands. Whether it was Dr. Khatibzadeh texting me at midnight to inform me of some signs of improvement, Dr. MacDonald coming by to give Peanut a quick hug and check on her, or Dr. Reig just coming by to give us words of encouragement, it felt as though the whole staff was rooting for her to get better. The nurses were kind enough to tolerate my constant presence, and allowed me to participate in her care by taking Peanut for her walks. Even the receptionist, Audrey, and the lab staff, Lisa and Karen, came to visit Peanut.\nThanks to the wonderful care that we received at the EMC, Peanut recovered fully, and was able to go home on Dec. 3rd. She is back with her buddy, Rugby, and is enjoying life on the farm again - long walks on the trails, lessons with her trainer, and, of course, her mealtimes!\nRobin Jacobs\nCentreville, VA"}

{"text": "How Hillary Won\nAnd other unwritten campaign victory stories.\nNo matter who wins Tuesday, within 48 hours, the newsmagazines will publish special issues explaining how he did it. That's right—even as you read this, reporters and editors for major national publications are working under the assumption that [your candidate here] lost! But that doesn't mean they're biased. It just means that they're planning ahead. Which got us to wondering: When a candidate loses, what happens to the story about how that candidate won? Below are a few stories that will never see the light of print.\nHow Hillary Won\nHillary Clinton's historic victory over John McCain was due largely to unprecedented turnout among women, who resented McCain's frequent use of the phrase \"lipstick on a pig\"—which, according to polls, many voters saw as a reference to Clinton. Meanwhile, McCain's selection for vice president, a little-known African-American police lieutenant from Bowie, Md., backfired, as the officer failed to attract disaffected African-Americans after Clinton's victory over Barack Obama. Clinton's victory followed a hard-fought primary, in which Democratic insurgent Obama racked up hundreds of delegates but ultimately faltered after Florida and Michigan were counted in full. Obama was also hampered by his association with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who rejected Obama's attempt to denounce him and launched a national \"Damn America, Vote Obama\" bus tour.\nHow Romney Won\nIt was one of the biggest reversals in election history: Mitt Romney beat Barack Obama in all 50 states. The collapse of the credit market was initially expected to help Obama, who promised a clean break from eight years of Republican economic policies. But Romney's business acumen, plus his new campaign slogan—\"Money for Everyone\"—gave him a boost among cash-strapped voters. Ultimately, Romney's decision to suspend his campaign and buy the U.S. Treasury sealed his victory.\nHow Huckabee Won\nMike Huckabee's victory can only be called miraculous. In February, pundits dismissed a Huckabee win as mathematically impossible. But by early March, McCain's lead had narrowed to 40 delegates. By late March, they were even. News media and official campaign delegate-counters were baffled. \"He's not even winning states,\" said NBC's Chuck Todd at the time. \"But he's still getting all their delegates.\" At one point, CNN's John King marveled at how his hands felt \"guided\" on the touch screen. Likewise, last night's tally showed Barack Obama winning 46 out of 50 states, yet according to every count, Huckabee somehow won more electoral votes.\nHow Edwards Won\nJohn Edwards' path to victory began with a stunning biographical video that aired during the Democratic National Convention, which depicted the candidate as a caring father, husband, and trial lawyer. The video and its sequels, produced by then-unheralded campaign consultant Rielle Hunter, became hugely popular on YouTube. Edwards has already said that he will allow Hunter \"unprecedented access\" to his administration and will post raw footage on her Web site.\nHow Paul Won\nRon Paul's victory over Barack Obama was made possible by a little-noticed rider Paul attached to a defense spending bill in September, which allowed voters to cast their ballots online. While Obama won an impressive 60 million votes, Paul racked up 7.18 x 1016 votes, more than all candidates in every past presidential election combined. In his acceptance speech, which Paul decided to let his supporters write by wiki, he said, \"Tonight, Barack Obama got epic fail pwnage because he's a wangnut noob. w00t!\"\nHow Giuliani Won\nRudy Giuliani can thank Osama Bin Laden for his victory over Barack Obama. When the most wanted terrorist alive released a new video in late October, the former mayor of New York City instantly recognized his surroundings as the basement of a Chelsea nightclub. Giuliani then led federal authorities to the hot spot, where he personally tackled Bin Laden. Footage of the raid was aired endlessly in the campaign's closing days, and the Giuliani campaign even bought a 30-minute block on Election Eve devoted to a play-by-play analysis of the incident.\nHow Gravel Won\nCall it the first postmodern presidential campaign. Mike Gravel became the first person ever to win the presidency without uttering a single word at an election rally, interview, or debate. The strategy was adopted after the success of an early Gravel ad in which the candidate simply stared into the camera. The campaign's most memorable moment took place at the Democratic Convention in Denver, where a crowd of more than 90,000 sat in rapt attention as Gravel held the podium for 37 minutes while the party platform slowly scrolled across the large screen behind him. Voters said they preferred Gravel's cold stare to John McCain's health care plan by a 2-to-1 margin."}

{"text": "Christmas message from Bishop Hollis: 'Welcoming the Stranger'\nIn the Christmas story, Mary and Joseph make their way to a town which was not their own and where they were strangers. It was difficult for them because when they got to Nazareth, their destination, \"there was no room at the inn\" and Mary was about to give birth to her child. A stable was the 'delivery room' and a manger was his cradle. The Son of God began his human life as a stranger and was only welcomed by outsiders - because that's how shepherds were seen - and other visitors from foreign lands. His own people knew him not. That's the traditional Christmas story which we celebrate at this time. Today, it is a story which is being replicated all over our land as migrants, asylum seekers and foreign workers seek to become part of our community. The Christmas message is one of welcome, acceptance, recognition of dignity and love for every human person. This is a message which is at the heart of Christ's teaching. \"I was hungry and you fed me; I was homeless and you gave me shelter and, in as much as you do it to these, you do it to me.\" I hope that this Christmas feast will be a time when we welcome the strangers in our midst. I hope we can make room in our hearts so that, unlike Christ, they can be made to feel at home and really valued as our brothers and sisters. This requires generosity and love from us and let it be our special Christmas gift to those who are in need. I wish you all a very Happy Christmas.\nYouTube\nGoogle+"}

These animals are taken from the wild and from their families, and face torture when they reach their destinations. They are poisoned or infected with painful illnesses, and they are always inflicted with extreme psychological distress.

This would be an internationally respected move, especially because most major airlines have already stopped transporting primates. Air France would show that it too is ready to stand up for animal rights, taking the world one step closer to freedom from cruel animal testing.

Until now, Makhteshim Agan's subsidiaries around the world, including MANA, operated under 26 unique local brand names they are now reducing those to one unified global brand.\nThe new brand name comes from the Hebrew word for \"earth\" and reflects Adama's agriculture focus and its commitment to advancing agriculture in its markets around the world.\nThe move was welcomed by Adama's Canadian CEO Andrew Mann, who looks forward to the new opportunities this brings.\n\"Adama continues to offer choice and simplicity in crop protection to retailers and customers,\" Mann said. \"Differentiated mixtures and products with Adama actives will be available to the global industry. Adama looks forward to offering a product portfolio that continues to bring value to Canadian distributors, retailers and farmers.\"\nAdama's Canadian operation was launched in 2008 with three staff and eight registered products and now offers more than 20 products and most recently opened a Canadian office, located in Winnipeg.\nAdama's roots lie in Israel where Agan Chemical Manufacturers was founded in 1945. Makhteshim Chemical Works began operations in 1952, with the two companies merging in 1997. The global corporate headquarters remain in Airport City, Israel, just outside of Tel Aviv.\nIn 2011, 60 per cent of the privately held company was sold to ChemChina, starting a new partnership that is enabling further expansion. ADAMA Agricultural Solutions Ltd., posted revenues of more than $3.07 billion in 2013 and is the seventh largest crop-protection company in the world.\n\"Adama, like MANA Canada before it, is characterized by its innovation, local approach to product development, quality and strict environmental standards,\" Mann said. \"In addition, we'll continue to provide the choice and simplicity that Canadian producers and retailers have come to expect from us. Our philosophy is captured in Adama's brand promise. Simply. Grow. Together.\"\nBy News release\nPrint this page"}

It was a bit surprising though to find that the same thing was going on in the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish forces too.\nIncompetence, selfishness, dishonesty and disagreements where no one would listen to the ideas of anyone else – that was everywhere.\nA true leader of a people should care about those people, yet throughout the war not only the high military command on both sides, but the highest political leaders too displayed indifference to the fate of soldiers who were dying in the tens of thousands in battle after battle, and to the civilian population who had to support it all with longer work hours, lower pay, starvation, increased disease and death.\nThe Germans showed some concern about their troops – throughout the war they had the lowest rate of casualties – but the German generals on the western front and those on the eastern front constantly worked to undermine each other and thereby contributed significantly to Germany’s defeat.\nThe Russian forces were also undermined by pervasive corruption. Ammunition and food purchased from America often disappeared, while middlemen got rich. Eventually rampant selfishness ended in the collapse of Russian society.\nIncidentally, though I often say, with good reason, that literature/fiction today is a shadow of what it once was, that is not true of history. We live in a golden age of historians and Meyer is one of the best. His portrayal of individuals as well as societies makes the book compelling and readable.\nAnyway, thinking of all this, I couldn’t help being reminded of the dysfunctional insurance offices I worked in over 40 years.\nIn almost every company (because I worked on contract much of my career, I worked in more than 30) it was evident that there was an undeclared war going on in management, each supervisor, department manager, vice-president, etc, doing their best to undermine rivals and advance themselves. And while women didn’t take part in the stupid mayhem of World War I, female managers were front and center in the insurance world, as selfish and destructive as the men.\nThe people I met during those years who genuinely cared about the company they were working for, or who were at least trying to do a good job without hurting anyone else, were usually quiet, introverted people. Shy people.\nAnyway, put all that together and what have you got? Not a social animal, that’s for sure.\nIf you want to read a little of A World Undone, the ‘read inside’ feature on Amazon has a more extensive sample than you get with most books.\namazon.com/books/worldundone"}

{"text": "In a world celebrating the heroes of action movies, one man sought to track down the villains who made them look so good and discover the secrets of playing a memorable baddie.\nIn his newly published book, Born To Be Bad, action movie aficionado Timon Singh interviewed such screen scoundrels as Vernon Wells (Mad Max, Commando), Martin Kove (The Karate Kid), Al Leong (Die Hard, Lethal Weapon) and Ronny Cox (Robocop) to get the inside scoop on the films they worked on, and how they created their legendary characters.\nAction Ago Go caught up with Timon to talk to him about bad guys, bad films and whether anyone is born to be bad.\nWould you like to tell us a few things about yourself and also something that you’d like to be true but isn’t?\nMy name is Timon Singh and I live in Bristol in the UK. As well as being a massive action film fan, I also love cult and genre movies, especially those that are incredibly unique in their concept and execution. As such, I also run The Bristol Bad Film Club where, every month, we screen the most fascinating films ever put to celluloid including the likes of Samurai Cop, Ninja III: The Domination, Roar, Hard Ticket to Hawaii and some of the craziest action films you’ve ever seen in your life.\nWant to see a film that’s about a psychic kickboxing priest that takes on a serial killer vampire? Of course, you do – so that’s why you come to The Bristol Bad Film Club. That film is called The Divine Enforcer by the way…\nI also wish it is true that I hadn’t seen that film more than once. However, I’ve seen it about five times thanks to cameos from Robert Z’Dar and Jim Brown!\nIn your book, you interview many of the most memorable villains from action movies in the 80s and 90s. What drew you to writing about the villains rather than the heroes?\nSo many books have been written about action stars like Arnie, Sly, Bruce and JCVD that I feel that as action film fans, most of us already know them quite well. But how much do you really know about Vernon Wells who played Bennett in Commando? Or Al Leong who played henchmen in everything from Die Hard to Lethal Weapon to Big Trouble in Little China? Or Ronny Cox who was excellent in films like RoboCop and Total Recall?\nI personally knew relatively little about them, so I thought it would be more interesting to track these actors down and talk to them about their experiences making these iconic films rather than hearing the same stories from the stars that many of us have heard before.\nThere are a lot of great stories and revealing details from your interviewees about the films that they worked on. What was the one that surprised you the most?\nRonny Cox amazed me by saying that while he was filming Total Recall in Mexico City, he was also shooting Cannon Studio’s Captain America film in Yugoslavia, so he would be flying from set to set and essentially shooting two films at the same time! In one, he was playing the evil head of a corporation that wants to charge people to breathe and in the other, he’s the nicest president of the United States that you’d ever want to meet!\nEven more amazing was that he told me the script of Captain America was the best that he’d ever read… however the final film was somewhat different. And less good.\nGiven all of the research and interviews you’ve done for this book you may well be the most qualified person to ask: What makes a great villain?\nI think that the villain should always be smarter than the hero. It’s not about strength or speed or skill, it’s about wits. It’s a far greater triumph for your hero to outwit someone who is smarter than they are, than simply beating them to a pulp. I always like it when my heroes are several steps behind and are struggling to catch up, or are always beaten, battered and bruised and barely standing by the end – I think that’s why I love Indiana Jones so much. If he wins, it’s barely by the skin of his teeth and a whole lot of luck.\nYour book focuses on the best baddies from the classic era of action movies, but do you have any favourite villains from older movies?\nAbsolutely. I grew up on a host of classic action and adventure films, especially older war films. The ones that really stand out are Derren Nesbitt who plays the Gestapo Officer in Where Eagles Dare. He’s so blonde and blue-eyed, he’s almost a parody of a Nazi, but he’s simultaneously charming and quite terrifying, so he’s always been a favourite. Also, Robert Shaw in From Russia With Love and the delightfully wonderful Eli Wallach as Calvera in The Magnificent Seven.\nHowever, I think we can all agree the most terrifying villain of all time is The Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang…\nSarah Douglas from Superman II is the only female villain to be interviewed for your book – do you think there will ever be parity for the sexes?\nI hope so! Action films have created some of the strongest female characters ever with the likes of Sarah Connor, Ellen Ripley, Vasquez and Maria Conchita Alonso in films like The Running Man and Predator 2. There’s also so many talented film action stars that I grew up watching like Cynthia Rothrock and Michelle Yeoh, who are often performing physical feats that would be impossible for their male counterparts. So, I don’t just think there will be parity, I know there will be and I demand and want it as soon as possible! Only weak men are scared of strong women.\nAnd what sort of villain would you make?\nA terrible one. I show my hand too easily and I fear I wouldn’t be able to go through with any of my threats. I’d be like Ed Harris at the end of The Rock. My bluff would be called and my own men would end up shooting me!\nYou’re also working on a documentary celebrating the action movie genre. What can we expect from In Search of the Last Action Heroes?\nI’m working with famous action film lover and YouTube Oliver Harper on his first feature length documentary about the rise, fall and nostalgic resurgence of the classic action film. We’ve got loads of great names attached and not just action stars.\nFrom writing and researching my book, the people with the best stories are often those who worked behind the scenes, so we’re talking to people like Peter MacDonald who, not only directed Rambo III, but has worked on more blockbusters than I can name as a second unit director.\nWe are also on planning on interviewing screenwriters Steven E De Souza (who wrote Die Hard, Commando and the intro to my book!), James Bruner (The Delta Force, Missing In Action), Sheldon Lettich (Bloodsport, Kickboxer, Double Impact) and a host of talented stunt and action directors like Craig R Baxley who directed the criminally underseen Dark Angel and Action Jackson!\nWe’re going to start filming interviews in August, then I’m going out to LA in October to film the bulk of them. I can’t wait. It’s going to be fantastic and anyone who has watched Ollie’s retrospectives knows that he has the passion, talent and knowledge to make this documentary something special. If you would like to contribute, the project is currently on Indiegogo In Demand.\nYou can buy Born To Be Bad online at Bearmanor Media.\nFollow Timon on Twitter at @timonsingh"}

{"text": "Animal Planet Analysis - March 2011\nMARCH 2011 PRIMETIME SCHEDULE:\n* Bold denotes programming change\nSCHEDULING STRATEGIES:\nAnimal Planet is capitalizing on their success with edgier fare by scheduling more danger-driven series, featuring predators both real (RIVER MONSTERS, YOUR WORST ANIMAL NIGHTMARES) and imagined (LOST TAPES.) The older-skewing COPS/PRECINCT series known as HEROES, previously reduced to only one Prime hour, is now on hiatus. This shift in strategy led to a significant decline in Median Age in 2009. 2010 saw a stabilizing of Median Age., with Thursdays mainly reserved for specials and documentary mini-series (BLUE PLANET.) Saturday is the only full night to regularly feature domestic programming, usually revolving around dogs, although cat-oriented series are starting to.\nMARCH 2011 PRIMETIME RATINGS ANALYSIS:\nLive Primetime Ratings Comparison / March 2011 vs. March 2010 (% Change)\nSource: The Nielsen Company's National Television Audience Sample\nSignificant year-to-year demo losses on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday led to double-digit annual declines for March as a whole. There were also significant monthly losses among female viewers on Monday and Saturday, as well as among all demos on Wednesday and Sunday, leading to an 11% decrease for W18-49 and 10% decrease for W25-54 from February 2011. Delivery for HH and other demos were basically flat with last month.\nComparing the annual declines experienced in March 2011 with those of last month, we find that M18-49 losses doubled those suffered in February, while W18-49 losses tripled and A25-54 quadrupled from last month.\nOverall, March 2011 was another transitional month for Animal Planet, as only 1 of 21 Prime time slots were consistently scheduled with the same series or anthology for the four weeks of this survey.\nNew series MUST LOVE CATS remained the top regularly scheduled series for the second month in a row. New series TAKING ON TYSON debuted Sunday at 10pm, but lost half of its opening week HH and demo delivery in week two. Moved to 8pm for the final two weeks of the survey, TAKING ON TYSON occupied the bottom rung for regularly scheduled series ratings for March.\nMondays featured the return of I'M ALIVE for the last two weeks of the survey at 8pm, replacing the higher-rated OPERATION WILD. Ratings for all viewers declined modestly from last month, with the exception of older men who grew slightly.\nA block of FATAL ATTRACTIONS replaced Tuesday's 3-hour CONFESSIONS: ANIMAL HOARDING block, delivering similar HH and demo ratings. Compared to March 2010's Predation-heavy line-up, Tuesday understandably lost significant Male demos, while gaining women. Month-to-month results were similar.\nOn Wednesday, repeats of RIVER MONSTERS replaced I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE and YOUR WORST ANIMAL NIGHTMARE from 8-10pm, leading into I'M ALIVE at 10pm, and readying the night for the new RIVER MONSTERS season debuting in April. The night grew sharply for male demos over last year and last month.\nThursday's continued steep monthly and annual drops may be due to the predominance of repeats on the Specials-driven night. Besides being the top specials for March, PIG BOMB and YELLOWSTONE: BATTLE FOR LIFE were also the two top overall offerings for the month for Animal Planet.\nUnlike Tuesday, Friday did not benefit from FATAL ATTRACTIONS replacement of CONFESSIONS: ANIMAL HOARDING from 8-10pm. Women demos were up slightly from last year, but all other demos declined modestly from March 2010, as well as last month.\nSaturdays were dominated by the continuing premiere of MUST LOVE CATS at 8pm, as well as new episodes of PIT BOSS at 10pm. The inability of the 9pm repeat episodes of PIT BOSS to hold the CATS lead-in most weeks, suggest that the two pet species may be as incompatible on the schedule as they are depicted to be in real life. PIT BOSS delivered a nearly 50% higher rating for M18-49 than did MUST LOVE CATS, although female demos were comparable.\nAs noted above, debuting series TAKING ON TYSON premiered at 10pm on Sunday, but was relocated to 8pm half-way through the survey. Demos were down modestly from last month for the night as a whole. Two episodes of the off-Discovery PLANET EARTH were the top-rated offerings here..\"\nCABLEU NEED TO KNOW:\nWith its new branding and new vision firmly in place, Animal Planet is taking on the new season with an ambitious lineup - 24 original series, including 14 returning programs and ten new ones that the Planet would like to brand as .\"\nThe network delved into dramatic stories (LAST AMERICAN COWBOY), pet programming, (PIT BOSS) and natural history (MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM.)\nThe network has taken stock of what worked and what didn't in the past year. \"When animals attack\" has become a genre unto itself, and is pulling in the men for an increasingly male audience skew. These programs are now the building blocks of the mid-week schedule.\nThe MEERKAT copycats (LEMUR, ORANGUTAN, CHIMPS, even MEERKATS 2) weren't as strong as the animal that spawned them, programming-wise, ratings-wise or buzz-wise.\nSaturday's dog programming has been going strong, especially among older women. It seems to have inspired a slew of dog- and cat-related programming, which is now spilling beyond Saturday to find regular timeslots during the week. There's a long development slate about dogs on the horizon. If it's got dogs, Animal Planet is considering it...police dogs, sled dogs, rescue dogs, show dogs, shelter dogs...you name it. Dogs from Alaska, dogs from Minnesota, dogs from New Jersey...there are endless variations here and Animal Planet seems determined to explore them all. And for the most part, they all seem to be resonating with women.\nWHALE WARS and RIVER MONSTERS are the biggest successes to come out of 2008/2009, and are among the 14 or so programs renewed for 2009/2010. Both of these programs focused more on the human element than the animal element.\nMixed results have come from celebrities and/or personalities on the sked...but they must be credible, entertaining, authorities in their field. Animal Planet does view itself as \"general entertainment,\" not \"animals,\" so use that as your creative cue. Characters are always important here so if you know a colorful person who's good with animals, we'd still keep them in mind.\nAnimal Planet continues its rebranding campaign, rolling out the tagline \"Surprisingly Human\" at the 2010-2011 Upfront Presentation. Among the highlights, Animal Planet announced the launch of several new series, including:\nTAKING ON TYSON, SKUNK WHISPERER (wt), WORLD'S DEADLIEST TOWNS (wt).\nContinuing series include DOGS 101/CATS 101, THE HAUNTED, I'M ALIVE, I SHOULDN'T BE ALIVE, IT'S ME OR THE DOG, LOST TAPES, MONSTERS INSIDE ME, MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM, PIT BOSS, PIT BOSS AND PAROLEES, RIVER MONSTERS, WHALE WARS.

{"text": "- (.\nCorrection appended\nA team of researchers have proposed a new biological explanation for the development of sexual orientation, namely homosexuality.\nScientists from University of California Santa Barbara and the University of Tennessee in the United States and Uppsala University in Sweden released their findings on Tuesday, arguing that while not necessarily genetic, homosexuality does have a biological origin.\nHeaded by Dr. William Rice of UC Santa Barbara, the researchers focused on the influence of epigenetics, or changes in gene expression that do not alter a DNA sequence.\nThe paper was published online by the Quarterly Review of Biology and the research was organized by the National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS).\n\"Pedigree and twin studies indicate that homosexuality has substantial heritability in both sexes, yet concordance between identical twins is low and molecular studies have failed to find associated DNA markers. This paradoxical pattern calls for an explanation,\" reads the abstract by Rice et al in part.\n\"We use published data on fetal androgen signaling and gene regulation via nongenetic changes in DNA packaging (epigenetics) to develop a new model for homosexuality.\"\nThe news of the theory comes as political issues surrounding homosexuality are gaining headlines. In California, a law was passed banning reparative therapy for homosexual minors with a legal challenge gaining momentum in response. Last week, the Supreme Court opted to hear cases regarding the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8.\nDavid Pruden, vice president of Operations for the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, told The Christian Post that he felt the paper would likely be misused by many.\n\"It is not a study. It is a theoretical model that the authors acknowledge is completely untested and has no data from actual research studies,\" said Pruden.\n\"Since the 'theory' seems to be getting media attention as if it were an actual 'conclusion' rather than a hypothetical model those with a political agenda are bound to use this misperception to further their agenda.\"\nPruden also told CP that the paper's theory, even if correct, would not jeopardize organizations like NARTH, which focus on providing reparative therapy for their clients.\n\"Common sense would then suggest that even if the unproven theory was completely correct individuals would still seek assistance in living lives congruent with their own personally chosen goals and values.\"\nCorrection: Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012:\nAn earlier version of this article quoted Pruden as saying that the theoretical model \"attributes only 10-14 percent of the factors to genetics or epigenetics.\" According to an email from Dr. Rice to Grove City College professor Warren Throckmorton, that is an inaccurate statement. The researchers think that \"carry-over epi-marks have the potential to account for most homosexuality.\""}

{"text": "Monte Carlo particle transport methods are extensively used, due to the generality and accuracy of these methods. In Monte Carlo methods hundreds of thousands or millions of particle histories are simulated using random numbers, highly accurate representations of particle reaction probabilities and exact models for 3-D geometries. The principal limitations for Monte Carlo methods are the requirement to simulate many particles to achieve an acceptable statistical uncertainty. This requirement provides ample incentive to utilize the computational power of modern vector and parallel supercomputers. Monte Carlo particle transport algorithms are inherently parallel because each particle history can be simulated independently and concurrently on separate processors. Monte Carlo particle transport codes have been successfully implemented on a number of different computational platforms [Mar91]. For adaptation to vector computers, the computational algorithm should be changed from a history-based scheme to an event-based scheme [Bro81, Bro85, Bro86, Cha85, Mar86, Mar87a]. Even though this requires restructuring of all data and extensive recoding, successful vectorized codes have provided gains of 10 - 100X or greater in computational speed. Moreover, once vectorized, it is relatively easy to parallelize a Monte Carlo code across multiple vector processors [Bob84]. Many research organizations have resisted the vectorization of production Monte Carlo codes, due to the considerable investments in time and manpower involved. On the other hand, the relative ease of parallelization and continuing decrease in costs of parallel computers, both massively parallel processors (MPPs) and distributed workstations, makes it attractive to adapt Monte Carlo codes to parallel computers [Mar87b, Mar93]. Monte Carlo algorithms are ideally suited for distributed and shared memory MIMD (Multiple Instruction, Multiple Data) parallel processors, because of the inherent parallelism involved in the fundamental algorithm. If enough memory is available to each processor, the Monte Carlo code and data can be replicated, and each processor can independently follow a portion of the total particles. This is possible due to the statistical independence of the particle histories. Monte Carlo particle transport codes have been demonstrated to be efficient and effective on both MPPs and distributed workstations. Two important issues involving parallel random number generators and reproducibility of results on parallel computers will be discussed in a later chapter of this thesis. We will also discuss our effort to implement various Monte Carlo algorithms on the two parallel computers (KSR-1 and IBM-SP2) operated by the Center for Parallel Computing at the University of Michigan and on the BBN TC2000 at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory."}

{"text": "The effectiveness of blended cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of depression.\nBackground\nMajor depression disorder is common and results in enormous suffering and economic costs. The efficacy of blended cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of depression has been shown in several controlled trials. However, there’s still much to be discovered about the usage of these combined face-to-face and online treatments and which factors influence their effectiveness. The objective of this study was to examine the use and longitudinal effectiveness of an uncontrolled blended (face-to-face treatment combined with a six-session web-based treatment) cognitive behavioural treatment (CBT) for major depression disorder.\nMethod\nCumulative anonymous logfile data were analyzed from over 2000 users who registered for the Therapieland depression CBT program from May 2018 and May 2019. These participants enrolled in a six-session web-based depression CBT program, which they followed on top of a face-to-face treatment.\nThe following criteria were included when trimming the data set:\n- Participants who did not complete pre- and post-measurement of the QIDS questionnaire were excluded;\n- Participants with a total baseline score of less than 6 on the QIDS-SR, indicating normal / no depressive symptoms (Rush et al., 2003) were excluded;\n- Between the pre- and post-measurement on the QIDS-SR there was a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 140 days. If the difference in time between the total scores is less than 2 and longer than 20 weeks, data from this participant was excluded.\nLinear mixed-model (LMM) repeated measures analysis was performed to compare the primary scores (the total scores on the QIDS-SR) over time at t (1) and t (2).\nResults\nThe final sample consisted of 220 participants (134 women and 86 men) with an average age of 39 years (SD 13.62). Across the total group, the severity of depressive complaints decreased significantly over time between the pre- and post-measurement (F (1, 219) = 170.52, p <.001). This decline translates to a decrease in the severity of depression symptoms from moderate to mild. We found no evidence for a predictive value on the effect for the following determinants: sex, age, days between both measurements, adherence to the online program, the number of logins, the amount of homework made between both measurements, and depression severity.\nConclusion\nThis study shows that participants who enroll in the Therapieland depression CBT program as part of a blended treatment show a clear downward trend on depressive symptoms. It suggests that this trend holds for both women and men, for different ages, and for patients with varying degrees of depression severity. These results would suggest a positive implication for this type of treatment, as this would mean that the treatment would be effective for a broad range of patients suffering from depression."}

Reunión Anual AMOM,1999 Manzanillo Col., 235-28 Nov.\nRecently patients or their parents an questioning whether long distance X-rays are really neccessary to achieve orthodontic tratment.\nThis for us was reason enough to consider ways of Diagnostic which could substitute Xrays.\nBut firts let us see, what long distance X-rays can inform us about.\n1. Positions of the teeth relating to the jaws\n2. Positions of the teeth relating to eachother\n3. Positions of the jaw relating to the scull\n4. Positions of the jaw relating to each other\n5. Direction of growth of the jaws relating to the scrull (growth-prediction).\nVarious methods to detect the growth direction of the jaws have been introduced by Schwarz, Korkhaus, Björk, Jarabak, Ricketts. Steiner, Hasund and others. They all use specific angles to determine the growth direction.\nEven though the importance of lateral (and frontal) long distance-X-ray is evident, we need more information to achieve a correct Diagnosis which can lead us to the optimum therapy.\nI. There are of course the Anannesis questions we have to ask to complete our clinical picture of our patient.\nII. Then we have to do a detailed clinical examination of our patient.\nIII. Whe have to do impressions in order to be able to make masurements of the size of the teeth as well the width and the length of the jaws.\nIV. Because most of our patients are mixed dentition cases we have to know which teeth still have to be expected. We have to get information about the position and the form of the roots of the permanent teeth. For this reason we use panorama K-rays.\nV. In order to detect the state of grovth of our patients in some cases an X-ray of the hand will be necessary.\nVI. Last not least we need lateral land frontal fotos and may be a foto that shows our patient smiling liven infraoral fotos are helpful to show the colour of the teeth, the gingiva and the state of oral hygien.\nNow let us return to what has been stated at the beginning:\nWhich of these diagnostics are really neccessary in order to prepare an individual tratmentplan on whitch our t`ea ment for the next years is based on?\nI.

Yes it can to a certain degree\nSo what about the position of the teeth?\nIn order to correct this we shoulc look at the modells being angulated to a certain degree from the horizontal.\nThis angulation normally is seer in a lateral X-ray byusing the angle between the line spa-spp and the bite-plane.\nIn order to proceed we took a pieces of 10 mm stainless steel wire, straightened it and melted it into the waxbite taken from the patient in central relation parellel to the bite-plane. It ends distall, of the first molar and has a length of about 20cm.\nThen we put the waxbite togetner with the wire back into the moute of the patient and took a lateral foto.\nBey extending the line of the wire distally we could see the angulation of the bite-plane in relation to the face.\nAll these findings brought as to the conclusion, that a lateral long distance X-ray can be avoided in many patiens and be substituted by correctely take and analysed lateral foto using the described stainless steel wire to demostrate the angulation of the bite plane.\nTogether with the modells we can achieve a correct diagnosis even though it takes a bit more tome for preparation."}

Becky held the position of lead teacher of three year olds in Flower Mound, Texas before moving to Mandeville where she continued to teach three and four year olds.\nShe was introduced to Cedarwood School by her dear friend, Erin Brady. Her daughter, Haley, also attended Cedarwood Elementary School and during this time she learned about the amazing opportunities the school offers to students, parents, faculty, and the community.\n“I have made amazing friends, directed KALEIDOSCOPE summer camp, and\nparticipated in community outreach. I am proud to say that I am a teacher at Cedarwood School as of August 2012. There is no other place I would rather be.”\nBecky believes that children learn through experiences. She is dedicated to developmentally appropriate teaching practices, which not only teach fundamentals, but encourage social and emotional growth. Her goal is to encourage independence, self-worth and excellence in everything her students do. She is inspired daily by her co-workers and their love for educating children, but is also so thankful for the support and appreciation of Cedarwood parents.\nOne thing she would like the community and future Cedarwood parents to know is that “Cedarwood is a treasure that will exceed your expectations! We are dedicated to educating the whole child and we value and appreciate our families. Children are important and we celebrate their love for learning each and every day.”\nBecky is also a dedicated wife to her husband, Tony, and mother of two children, Haley and Parker\nNichole Thibaut lives in Mandeville, LA. She has been working with preschool children for three years. This year will be her 2nd year teaching preschool at Cedarwood.\nGrowing up in Mandeville since the late 80s early 90s, Nichole was very familiar with the schools in the area and knew about Cedarwood for a while. In 2014, she sent her children to CAMP KALEIDOSCOPE which is still the theme based summer camp offered at Cedarwood’s preschool for ages 2 – 6. While there she inquired about a teaching position after seeing the sense of community that Cedarwood develops and encourages their employees to develop with families and coworkers.\n“The teachers at Cedarwood truly love each and every child. In the preschool and elementary school alike, teachers know every child that walks through the doors. Such love and care go into each day to ensure that each child knows that they are loved and can achieve anything.”\nNichole believes in teaching the whole child by fundamentally reaching each child on their level whether emotional, social, and/or academically. She strives for her students to reach these goals through purposeful play and lots of love. Her goal as a teacher is by year end each child is working independently, feeling confident, and having a deeper love of school.\nNichole is a mother to three beautiful and bright daughters. Eloise is 9, Charlotte is 7 and Collins is 4 years old. She says she is also blessed to have her parents and sister living close by."}

{"text": "Today, and go forth and prep your meals with ease.\nEnter Remy.\nFood prep, without a doubt, has been one of the most important strategies on my fitness journey. Not only does it end up saving me a bunch of money by buying in bulk, but I also end up eating healthier, more consistently and in line with my goals. For me, staying on track with training can be a challenge with my schedule, so removing the worry about buying the right meals with the proper macros from the equation makes a huge difference.\nIn my professional life I am a chef, so I may be at a slight advantage in that I enjoy cooking, but weekly food prep can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. I know people that don’t mind eating the same meal 2-3 times a day 5 days a week, and while I can tolerate the lack of variety to a certain extent, I’m happier when I mix it up a bit.\nFor those of you that might be a little lost on where to start, I wanted to put together some of the essentials that I use in my kitchen to make food prep much easier and far less time consuming. Cooking effectively is all about arming yourself with the right tools, and once you have those figured out, everything else falls into place.\nSlow Cooker\nThe slow cooker is, without hesitation, the most used and convenient tool in my kitchen (except for my trusty Jura coffee maker, but my coffee addiction is another story altogether). If there is one piece of equipment that I would label “essential,” it’s the crock-pot.\nAs far as protein is concerned, the crock-pot can handle anything you throw at it. From huge roasts to whole chickens and everything in between, it’s nice being able to dump several ingredients into it, set the timer, and walk away knowing in a few hours you’ll have something delicious. I also love to make stews, chili and even soups in it, which I can then quickly portion out into servings for the entire week. Additionally, most of the slow cookers made today can double up as a vegetable steamer as well, which opens up another huge list of possibilities. If you don’t have one of these, head over to Amazon and buy one now… you’ll thank me later.\nThe Right Spices & Seasonings\nHaving basic spices on hand can mean the difference between bland chicken and white rice week after week, and something you might actually look forward to. When you think of regional dishes from around the world, many of them contain the same ingredients overall, they are just simply seasoned differently. For example, a little lemon juice and oregano will give your chicken a Greek flair, while adding some garlic, basil and diced tomatoes will produce a more Italian dish.\nI would suggest stocking up on these essentials and experimenting from there:\n- Lemon Juice\n- Oregano\n- Parsley\n- Basil\n- Red Pepper Flakes\n- Paprika\n- Curry Powder\n- Garlic Powder\n- Cumin\nHigh Quality Cookware\nOne of the best things I ever did for my kitchen was transition away from cheap, non-stick cookware to something a little nicer and more reliable. This doesn’t have to mean a huge investment, but with I found with really cheap pans, the handles would inevitably become too loose to use, the cooking surface would burn and no longer transfer heat very well, and I’d have to replace them several times in a year anyway.\nThe good thing is you don’t need to worry about buying everything all at once. My suggestion is always replace one thing at a time, and before you know it you will be cooking like the pros. If you don’t know what piece of cookware to start with, go with a piece that is going to give provide you with the ability to cook many types of meals, like a thick enameled dutch oven or a quality copper cookware set.\nAfter you have the basics covered, then you get can get more specialized.\nDigital Kitchen Scale\nDepending on how careful you are about your calories and macros, this may or may not save your life. For me, if I’m going through all the trouble of preparing my food ahead of time, I’m going to make darn sure I know what’s going into my body from a caloric perspective. After all, one of the best things about prepping your food is being able to control exactly what you’re consuming and not having to rely on guesswork or many times inaccurate nutrition info at restaurants that provide it.\nJust go on Amazon and find a good size scale that is well reviewed and you should be fine. I also have a pocket scale for small amounts and for when I’m eating out or traveling, but this totally isn’t a requirement.\nFood Storage Containers\nNext up is actually storing and transporting the food you made. I’ve tried a lot of different options here and the one thing I’ve learned is that again, investing a little is going to pay off in the long run. Now, I’m not saying that I’m against plastic and that it won’t work for you, because it will. But in the end, glass storage containers last longer, are easier to clean in the dishwasher and are better for the environment.\nI’m personal a fan of the brand Pyrex for many things in the kitchen and their storage containers are no exception. One of the things I love most about them is just how much food I’m able to get into one container without taking up a ton of space in my fridge. If you aren’t going to go the glass route, then your standard Tupperware will work just fine too!\nThe food prep world is a big one, and these are just a few of the top items on my list for someone just getting started. But these will get you most of the way there, and forging your own path is half the fun. Good luck! to a more eco-conscious, greener way of living that emphasizes small steps which can have a big impact.\nShe can also be found on Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook.\nTired of spinning your wheels in the gym?\nTake my FREE Physique Overhaul Course to learn exactly how to build a fitness model physique."}

{"text": "Officials in a major north-eastern Indian city have called for measures to crack down on rhino poaching.\nHarsh Vardhan, Union Science and Technology Minister for India, has called for the Assam Forest Department to come up with a proposal to prevent the poaching of the region's one-horned rhinos, reports the Times of India.\nMr Vardhan said: “We should use science and the acumen of the youth to make things better as far as the issue of protection of wildlife is concerned and stop poaching of rhinos. I have asked the forest department to give me a proposal to stop poaching and protect wildlife using science and technology.”\nThe minister made the comments during a trip to the city's Institute of Advanced Studies in Science and Technology.\nOften sighted on safari breaks in India, the one-horned rhino faces numerous threats in the wild. The animal, which can grow to more than six-feet tall and 6,000 lbs in weight, has previously dropped to dwindling numbers due to the problem of poaching.\nHowever, superb work in conservation has seen the population of these species jump from around 600 in the mid-1970s up to more than 3,000 today. Assam is an Indian state found south of the east Himalayas and is home to more than 2,500 of these 3,000 remaining rhinos, a fact which reinforces the importance of Mr Vardhan's calls to further protect the animal in this part of India.\nAccording to figures from the region's Forest Department, poaching has resulted in the death of 193 rhinos in Assam since 2001.\nIn 2014, the one-horned rhino, which is also commonly known as the Indian rhino, was rated as vulnerable on the scale of endangered species."}

{"text": "Innovid partners with mobile ad platforms to upgrade VAST\nThe initiative, says the video marketing platform, is the first such multiparty effort.\nThe VAST video ad format is used widely, but it lacks some features that marketers crave. Key among them: It doesn’t readily support third-party measurement or interactive features, such as hotspots where users can request more info or a related video.\nA variety of efforts to correct this situation are underway. The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), for instance, is working toward standardization of these capabilities for VAST, while some verification firms and advertising providers are implementing their own solutions.\nThis week, New York City-based video ad platform Innovid announced it was taking a next step toward making VAST more useful for in-app video ads. It is working with three providers of mobile app inventory — Fyber, InMobi and MoPub — to launch and utilize VAST tags that are compatible with the IAB’s and others’ efforts.\nThrough this integration, Innovid VP of Solutions and Partnerships Michael Tuminello told me, third-party measurement and some dynamic features are available at scale for VAST. He added that this is the first effort between multiple vendors to try out a standardized set of tags and to coordinate their use across a mobile video ad ecosystem."}

{"text": "I thought forever about this one. We talked about it, joked about songs we had heard over the years, but we just didn’t have that one song. We had several. For the procession, our friend James played Chopin on his viola. For immediately after the kiss and our first walk as husband and wife, it was The Killers “Mr. Brightside.” (Don’t ask, but it just has relevance and we love the chorus). For our first dance it was Jamie Lidell’s “Green Light” and later we danced to Frank Sinatra’s “Summer Wind,” an oldie but a goodie that we play on the jukebox at our favorite dive bar.\nI like the ones that are less obvious so I’ve compiled a few top artists from 2012 and the songs you may not have heard from them.\n1. Alex Clare hit the scene after his song “Too Close” was used for a Microsoft commercial. The video’s a bit confusing but there are plenty of songs off his album The Lateness of the Hour like “Hummingbird” that would make lovely unexpected songs.\n2. Ellie Goulding’s song “Lights” was everywhere this past year but her sophomore album Halcyon, is a little more thoughtful. Check out the very tender song “Bittersweet” and listen for it in the upcoming Twilight soundtrack.\n3. No Doubt is a household name we haven’t heard from in a while but with their first album in ten years, Push and Shove brings their signature style and a couple of great ballads. “Easy” is a great track for a loved one after their first single, “Settle Down.”\nWhat was your song? Was it a hard decision or a no-brainer? Share your comments and suggestions so we can check out what you thought was perfect for your big day!"}

{"text": "I’ve wondered how best to put this, but it seems the best approach to take is the straightforward one: I don’t particularly like this issue, and I find it very disappointing.\nPart of that is down to misdirected anticipations caused by Alex Ross’s cover, ironically so in that it’s by far and away the best cover to date in Volume 3. From the first time I saw it, it set my expectations for a truly historical tale, the oldest tale yet in Astro City‘s existence. I anticipated, indeed relished, the prospect of Busiek and Co’s take on pre-First World War superheroing. Dame Progress. Mr. Cakewalk. Strange names, intriguing adversaries, a fresh perspective\nWhich made the opening page, revisiting the Broken Man from issue 1, a total let-down.\nI’d also better admit that I’m a long way from accepting the Broken Man yet. I can see what Kurt’s shooting for, ‘a riddle wrapped up in an enigma’ (re-demonstrating my point about our predeliction for making aphoristic phrases out of a distortion of original words, here Winston Churchill’s 1939 comment on Soviet Russia that ‘It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma’). But there’s something I really don’t like about the Broken Man, and after much thought I’ve defined it as the excessive breach of the Fourth Wall.\nThat’s not something that bothers me in principle, but the Broken Man raises this to a fetish, purportedly incorporating me in the story as an ally or, given how determined he is to be mysterious and not actually give away anything concrete, as an underling of neither consequence nor use.\nBecause that’s what this story is: it’s a continuation of no 1 but on a wider scale (I refuse at this point to say ‘greater’). It’s this thing about the Oubor again and about they won’t notice readers of certain issues of Astro City, but we’re being a total danger to everything by reading the first two fragments of story that sneak through due to our failure of concentration. On the other hand, we are allowed the Dame Progress/Mr Cakewalk sequence as a freebie, even though there’s this great mystery drummed up around it about how we can’t possibly be expected to understand it.\nWhat Busiek is doing is building a very large and long story but, unlike The Dark Age, he seems intent on doing it a fraction at a time. Issue 5 is a come-on issue: we get three fragmentary tales in different Twentieth Century times, interspersed with all manner of images that are also relevant to the story, but which we can’t expect to understand. Now I love a good parcelling out of information in judiciously calculated instalments as much as the next reader (I am a worshipper of 100 Bullets, remember?), but this is too much. Instead of getting to grips with the story, trying to find a connection between enigmatic incidents, it’s being thrown in our face as being deliberately incomprehensible. I don’t know about anyone else but being told I can’t possibly cope with a story gets my back up.\nNo doubt all will become clearer over whatever extended timescale Busiek plots, and I hope that the clues and links can be forged without the Broken Man pointing to them with his purple fingers, shouting ‘Here’s a clue!’, because that’s what this month’s episode has me dreading.\nThe three fragments are interesting in themselves, although I’d like to have gotten deeper into any one of them, rather than this whistle-stop tour, deliberately interrupted in the first two instances. Fragment 1 focusses on Special Agent Cal Tarrant, leader of the Working Group On Unsettling Anomalies, Classification and Confinement, or WGOUACC (no, actually they’re known as the Blasphemy Boys). They’re a sort of Untouchables of the paranormal and it’s about a case that decimates the team in Baltimore in 1931.\nFragment 2 isn’t even a story, it’s a set-up. It’s set in India, in 1947, where a US Army Paratroop Sergeant deserter has, in undescribed circumstances, become a Kobra-style leader of a religious cult, about to carry out a political assassination. The context for this fragment, in the Broken Man’s workshop places it in juxtaposition to the unjust execution of the Silver Agent, suggesting that this tiny Indian statelet may be connected to Maga-Dhor.\nThe only ‘complete’ tale brings us at last to Dame Progress and Mr. Cakewalk, and it’s interestingly noticeable that their hero/villain chase through Romeyn Falls is undated. I’d attribute it to turn-of-the-century, with about a ten year leeway either way. Dame Progress is the heroine, Mr. Cakewalk an annoyingly acrobatic villain, but he’s maybe more than that since he helps the Dame expose the dastardly plans of Dr Aegyptus, and gives his loot back.\nBut this is still a tale of fragments and not-even-hints, because we still have no idea what this story is about, and no context for our multiple historical moments. And we’re invited to take each and every element of this issue as a ‘clue’. This apparently includes the 45rpm single by The Kloo, “Outside Reaching In”. The label is oscured, but not by so much that I can’t recognise it as Warner Brothers’ Records, but there’s no year on it, the songwriting credits are partially blocked (second writer Berryhill) , as are the Publishing company (Great Nameless ?), and I can’t find the Kloo on either YouTube or Google, whilst the only “Outside Reaching In” on YouTube is by a 1980s band, and the Kloo’s name is pure mid/late-Sixties.\nMore will be revealed, and I’m perfectly prepared to revise my opinion of this issue when I know a bit more of what it’s referencing, but Kurt and Co. will have to do a lot more yet to have me change my opinion of the Broken Man (I gather that a handful of astute fans have correctly identified who he is ‘in real life’, but not me).\nSo, a disappointment. To come is another one-off in issue 6, then a four-parter centring on Winged Victory, Samaritan and The Confessor in issues 7-10. I’m sure I will have better things to say about those forthcoming issues."}

{"text": "Remove uncertainty around ROM diagnosis with AmniSure®\nPregnancy and labour are full of uncertainty. No one can predict how a pregnancy will progress, how and when a woman will go into labour or how long her labour will last. Every woman’s experience is unique, requiring personalised care and treatment.\nThe rupture of a woman’s fetal membrane (ROM) is an important part of this experience. For many women, ROM marks the start or progression of labour. When it occurs prematurely – before the onset of contractions or before 37 weeks gestation – it can be a sign of a serious complication.\nAn accurate diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes (PROM) can help you ensure every woman receives the care and support they need during pregnancy, birth and after their baby is born.\nIf PROM is confirmed, a woman may need to be admitted to hospital for monitoring or medical intervention. For women in regional areas, this can mean being transferred to a metropolitan hospital, away from their family or support network.\nThese are important decisions that could affect a woman’s experience, and the outcomes for her and her baby. There is no doubt that an accurate and timely diagnosis of PROM is crucial but, without an obvious leakage from the cervix, diagnosis can be difficult.\nResearch[1] shows that 47% of the time clinicians are not confident in their diagnosis of PROM based on history and examination alone. But the use of AmniSure, a quick, non-invasive bedside test, provides the information they need to make a confident diagnosis. And this certainty can change the way the clinician manages a woman’s care and treatment.\nAmniSure is 99% accurate in diagnosing PROM – more accurate than nitrazine (pH), ferning, pooling and ultrasound. It doesn’t require a speculum examination, gives results in minutes and can be used at any gestational age. RANZCOG guidelines also recommend AmniSure in the diagnosis of term PROM.\nSo, while some uncertainty during pregnancy is inevitable, with AmniSure you can be confident you’re providing the right care and treatment to women with suspected PROM, without unnecessary medical intervention.\n[1] Neil PRL, Wallace EM. Is AmniSure® useful in the management of women with prelabour rupture of the membranes?

At the Feb. 19 Springfield Board of Education meeting, Superintendent Chuck Sincere and Schrop Intermediate Principal Lisa Vardon accepted the Momentum Award from Ohio State Board of Education member Sarah Fowler.\nThe award is presented to schools in recognition of exceeding expectations in student growth for the year. Schools must earn straight As on all value-added categories on the state report card.\n“You have to approve in multiple areas, not just one area,” said Fowler, adding that is great to see that this is not a one-time trend for Schrop and the district as a whole as has received the recognition the last two years.\nSincere said the administration was proud of staff, students, community and the school board.\n“Two years running, for this Momentum Award, we want to keep it going,” he said.\nGina Laterza from Red Oak Red Oak Behavioral Health which provides counseling and mental health service support to the district. Laterza said Red Oak works in conjunction with the school counselors when needed. If someone is interested in counseling for their child, they need to notify the school counselor.\n“We work together. There are many options to offer the students and give them some help,” said Laterza.\nMembers of the Schrop Jump Rope Club gave a demonstration of their talents to the board. More than 100 Schrop students participate in the club. About 50 of the students showed what they do to keep in shape during the winter months. The students have skills to work on. Some were able jump in a sitting position from the gym floor.\nThe board approved a variety of personnel items including the acceptance of the resignation of clsssified substitute Nina Fleming. Also approved was the employment of classified substitutes Fran Fair and LaShonta Turner. Andrew Morgan was approved as an eight-hour custodian at Schrop Intermediate School, Jennifer Stubbs as a four-hour teaching assistant at Spring Hill Elementary and Lori Hoxworth as a seven-hour teaching assistant at Springfield Junior Senior High School. Also approved were athletic supplemental contracts for spring sports teams for 2019 and sports teams for the 2019-20 school year and Mike Canavan as a volunteer coach and a contract for the 2019-2020 school year for Eric Ford, girl’s head varsity soccer coach.\nTreasurer Chris Adams updated the board on the work of the state auditors. He said the auditors are finished and they spent time looking at student activities, cash and “they were very impressed on how we have been on that area. ... They should have the official report should come out in a few weeks, there were no issues.”\nApproved business by the board included a memorandum of understanding with the University of Akron for the College Credit Plus program for the 2019-20 school year. Also approved was a memorandum of understanding with Stark State College for the College Credit Plus program for the 2019-20 school year.

Then, one day, the woman came to the man and said, ‘I am no longer happy and I can only continue to love you if you abide by the following list of things I have written here’ and she showed the list to the man. The man looked at the list. His heart began to sink. The more he read, the more he began to question the unconditional love he had for the woman. After he finished reading, he sighed and shook his head. Out of his pocket, he took out a pair of scissors and snipped the flower at its base. ‘Goodbye’, he told the woman and left.

{"text": "Thoughts on Happiness\n“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.” ~ Morrie Schwartz\nLast week, I wrote a post about the Happiness Movie. I loved the comments that were left by Kerri and Stephanie. Kerri mentioned a movie that will be on my list of movies to watch called Lost Boys of Sudan. She said that the boys in the movie came from Sudan to the States for a better life, but they ended up missing the sense of community they had back home in Sudan. Stephanie mentioned the lack of community in the States as being at the core of the unhappiness of many people.\nThis thing called community seems to play a big part in our sense of well-being and happiness. I just read a newspaper article about how the lack of community in big cities, especially in lower income neighborhoods, is shown in research to play a part in the development of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia for a person that is already at risk due to genetics.\nThere’s a part of me that loves exploring the harder questions in life and the question of happiness is one of them. ~\nI tend to think that living a happy life involves practicing gratitude, even (or especially) when it doesn’t come easily.\nI think it involves spending your time doing things that involve your interests, your passions, your strengths.\nI think it involves choosing your response consciously even when it would be easy to react negatively to something that comes your way.\nI think it involves celebration.\nI think it involves having a sense of purpose and a belief in God, or at least something bigger than yourself.\nI think it involves paying attention to life and noticing the small touches of grace in it, even on days where nothing seems to go your way.\nAnd I do truly believe that we were made to live in relationship with one another, that a large part of our happiness is based on caring deeply for others and being cared for in return. ~\nIt’s so important to remember that true happiness really comes from immaterial things. Sure, it’s great to have nice things and important to create the best life you can within your means. But nothing will feel right if the immaterial things that really matter aren’t there.\nEspecially today, on the ninth anniversary of 9/11, I feel drawn to reflect on this. Shortly after that day, people were talking about how it brought them back to what really mattered in life. Yet, as a society we’ve kept spending beyond our means, seemingly hoping that somehow more things will make us happy.\nThis morning, I was writing in my gratitude journal. Sometimes I include material things in my gratitude list because I really am grateful for what I have. Today, though, I intentionally only included immaterial things. Here’s my list:\nI am grateful\nfor love and life ~ for those I love, for every day we are given together\nfor compassion ~ for the ability we human beings have to care deeply about the pain of another\nfor beauty ~ for everything that transports me, even if it’s just for a moment, and reminds me of a higher purpose\nfor kindness ~ for true friendliness and generosity of spirit that goes beyond the surface and allows another human being to feel seen, heard and cared for\nfor the ability to feel ~ for both positive and negative emotions, for the ability to be present to this life I’ve been given\nXO Jadyn\nsuch a beautiful post Jadyn. thank you!\nxo\nAs always, you’re so inspiring! Thanks for this post! Now, I think you HAVE to read this book: “The Tangible Kingdom”. It’s all about why community is so important, and real practical steps to building Christian community. It’s got a workbook, too, that’s just wonderful to work through with a group of friends. I found it so helpful because I’ve always loved and searched for community, but have always wondered how to create it myself."}

{"text": "We remember Sylvia Cranston, AKA Anita Atkins (December 12, 1915 – June 20, 2000)\nJan Nicolaas Kind – Brazil\nIn previous issues of Theosophy Forward we’ve honored Theosophists such as Dr. Richard Brooks, Ianthe Hoskins, Einar Adalsteinsson, Shirley Nicholson, Paul Zwollo, Dora van Gelder-Kunz, John H. Drais, Dara Eklund and Geoffrey Farthing. In this issue we will remember Sylvia Cranston, nom de plume for ANITA ATKINS.\nAnita Atkins in England, the summer of 1978 while attending Sir George Trevelyan’s three-day Wrekin Trust Conference on Reincarnation. Here she delivered the opening lecture entitled, The ModernReincarnation Renaissance. The photograph was taken while en route to a BBC interview\nWhy do we honor people? What is it that moves us to give credit and show admiration for those who are no longer on our plane? Each one of us might have a particular reason to do so, or not, but it is axiomatic that if we want to know who and where we are, we need to know where we’re from. Only thus will it be clear to us which direction our future lies. Those who left us their legacies such as their thoughts, music, paintings, sculptures or any other art form, like poetry and literature, help remind us who we are. With that awareness we are able to move forward. It is not so much the honor those who passed away took with them, but it is about the heritage they left behind. It is our privilege to benefit and be inspired by valuing that heritage.\nIn the land of Theosophists, we do not honor others so often since, and in my opinion erroneously, it is associated with the personal. We are told that this is what we should disengage from. However, remembering or honoring someone actually reveals much about who we are, recognizing our own here and now. Honoring past achievement, whether by someone who is with us or who is no longer with us on this plane, inspires while fulfilling our present dreams and ideals. Anita Atkins left us a phenomenal legacy, not only through what she offered to us as an author of a number of very significant books, but also through what she demonstrated as a woman and an unselfish human being who dedicated her entire life to the Cause. From what I now understand, she was hard working, modest, sincere and even a little shy, not really desiring to stand in the limelight.\nA fact that is overlooked by many is that through her writings Anita Atkins actually built bridges connecting the various Theosophical streams. Although ULT based, her works were, and still are appreciated by all who are assembled in the Theosophical movement, irrespective of background or tradition. In this respect she fulfilled pioneer’s work, perhaps even without realizing that herself. As I suggested in my write up for a previous tribute, the one we paid to Geoffrey Farthing, I would argue that Anita as well would have been very pleased to see that nowadays, the various Theosophical traditions are regularly coming together on the platform of International Theosophical Conferences (ITC), sharing and studying the core of Theosophy through what H.P.B. passed on to us.\nCarey Williams AKA Caren Elin (2017)\nCoincidentally it was during an ITC gathering in Julian, California in 2011, that I had the pleasure to meet Carey Williams, AKA Caren Elin, Anita’s long-time friend and research assistant. Honoring Anita, a few words to also appreciatively acknowledge Carey are certainly due. Through the research I did for this tribute it became evident that Carey not only functioned as an excellent editor and research assistant, but she was also Anita’s friend through thick and thin, until the very end of Anita’s long and productive life. I certainly believe that Carey has a feeling and talent for looking after people, it is one of her “gifts” apparently because when I met her for the first time in Julian during ITC 2011, I vividly remember that she kindly took care of and looked after another good friend of hers, Myrra Lee. Myrra, a ULT student with whom Carey had worked hard running ULT – San Diego in the 1970’s, and one of the speakers during that ITC conference needed medical assistance on location because of a health issue. Last year during ITC 2016 in Santa Barbara our paths crossed again, a lovely woman with an adorable smile and so energetic!\nThis TRIBUTE contains photographs that were not published previously.\nAnita Atkins using her pen name Sylvia Cranston, wrote several excellent books, the one we highlight in this tribute is her magnum opus entitled: H.P.B.:The extraordinary Life and Influence of HELENA BLAVATSKY, Founder of the Modern Theosophical Movement, which was first published in 1993.\nYour editor reached out to a number of well-known Theosophists asking them to write down in a few lines why they believe this is a significant biography, what they felt when they read it, or where they were when reading it, why they think this is a must for every student of Theosophy, and lastly why thismonumental work according to them, could also be an eye-opener for those who aren't members of the TS.\nIn order to maintain authenticity, the contributions below have not been edited.\nVicente Hao Chin – The Philippines:\nAnita Akins blazed a trail in the study of reincarnation with three anthologies of which the Phoenix Fire Mystery stood foremost. They were the best in the field – meticulously researched, carefully chosen, with remarkably detailed commentaries. She gave much of her life to making reincarnation a rationally acceptable doctrine.\nI had thought that she had already done her lifework with those books, until I saw her biography of HPB, a much needed work that filled a vacuum in Theosophical literature. It took a hundred years after HPB's death before a full definitive biography could be written. It has since become the standard life account of the primary co-founder of the Theosophical Society.\nA remarkable woman indeed! So self-effacing, but so full of inner fire. What an example for the rest of us!\nBetty Bland – USA:\nWho hasn’t seen the impressive tome about HPB by Sylvia Cranston (AKA Anita Atkins)? This impressive volume proclaims its presence from shelves in public libraries, bookstores and personal libraries. If you haven’t already read it, this is a must for anyone interested in the Theosophical line of thinking.\nFirst off, the biographical material is well researched and captivatingly told—weaving the story of such a remarkable woman that it borders on the unbelievable. Yet the back-up references and eyewitness accounts confirm its historicity to most open-minded readers.\nThe tale of HPB’s life, with its otherworldliness, and total commitment to the betterment of humankind, continues to inspire seekers through the generations. However, this biography does more than tell a life story, but in the last few sections goes on to enumerate HPB’s ongoing impact on philosophy, science, religion, literature, art, consciousness studies, and further exploration of realms beyond the physical.\nI, personally, am forever indebted to the author and her most capable research assistant Carey Williams (AKA Caren Elin) for this entire document, footnotes, endnotes, references, and all.\nCarolyn Dorrance – USA:\nThis is a book you can trust. It is fully researched, clearly written and offers an objective perspective on the life and influence of the founder of the modern Theosophical Movement. In each chapter, the reader is engaged in a fascinating journey of discovery that gives depth and breadth to her work and to the acceptance of the Theosophical Movement.\nHer courageous global travels, her preparation in occult wisdom under the supervision of Mahatmas and the process of ground-breaking writing such as IsisUnveiled and The Secret Doctrine are presented with the aid of countless letters and recorded conversations.\nNotable is the description of the Coulomb-Hodgson accusations and their effective rejection by researchers 100 years later. Immensely useful is the last Chapter describing the influence of H.P.B.’s teaching on countless scientists, philosophers and artists. The notes, index and bibliography are remarkable.\nReading this book brings alive the reality and success of H.P.B.’s mission and the contributions of thousands of her supporters. It inspires a desire to serve the Theosophical Movement.\nEd Abdill – USA:\nWithout doubt, Anita Atkins was a dedicated student of Theosophy and was especially dedicated to H. P. Blavatsky, one of the founders of the Theosophical Society.\nAnita wrote a great deal about the Theosophical philosophy, but her Magnus Opus was her biography of H.P.B. It took long and careful research to produce the book and the result is a veritable encyclopedia about Blavatsky. In fact, the book reads more like an encyclopedia than a biography.\nStudents of Theosophy and those who want to know something about Theosophy and its principle founder would do well to read The Extraordinary Life and Influence of Helena Blavatsky.\nLeonie van Gelder – USA:\nIn 1994, Linda Jo Pym, a good friend and lifelong student of Theosophy, encouraged me to read Sylvia Cranston’s HPB: The Extraordinary Life and Influence of Helena Blavatsky, Founder of the ModernTheosophical Movement. Linda Jo put it in the “must read” category.\nWith over 500 pages, I found it not only readable, but enjoyable! Cranston’s biography paints Blavatsky’s life as heroic, but it is not a hagiography. Well researched with voluminous notes, Cranston examined Blavatsky’s colorful life, the gestation of the Theosophical Society and her subsequent influence on major figures from science to art. Cranston also captures the depths of Blavatsky’s insight, wisdom, and pragmatism. In that regard, I have often quoted to others a passage cited in Cranston’s biography describing a young volunteer wanting to resolve a question.\n“Madame,” she said, “what is the most important thing necessary in the study of Theosophy?”\n“Common sense, my dear.”\n“And Madame, what would you place second?”\n“A sense of humor.”\n“And third, Madame?”\nAt this point, patience must have been wearing thin.\n“Oh, just MORE common sense.” (p 337)\nLinda Jo was right. A must read!\nLeslie Price – England:\nAlthough I had a little correspondence with Anita when she was writing “ HPB”, like many others I owe most to her as \" Sylvia Cranston.\" When her first two co-authored anthologies appeared in the 1960s, there was little reliable literature on the worldwide scope of reincarnation beliefs. In England, there was a lady called Mary Peto who felt moved to publish or distribute contemporary reincarnation literature, including the anthologies. These were not easy to obtain in the UK. (Mrs Peto also imported Professor Ian Stevenson's big scientific monographs on children who remembered previous lives. ]\nIn the days before home computers and the internet, prodigious research was needed to compile these anthologies, and as with the many quotations in Madame Blavatsky's writings, the passages were a stimulus to return to the original writings, not least those in ancient languages, and consider what the author meant. Some authors for example would affirm pre-existence, but not necessarily reincarnation; others admitted plurality of lives, but not perhaps on this planet. Also ecclesiastical censorship had sometimes been at work.\nIn the background always was Anita's thorough understanding of the actual Theosophical teachings. At a time when many strange popularizations of reincarnation were spreading through the New Age movement, Anita was a reliable guide.\nAnita's biography of H.P.B. had wide scope, but unlike previous biographers, she was able to use Dr Vernon Harrison's 1986 exoneration of H.P.B. from the false charge of writing the Mahatma Letters herself. Indeed she supplemented his findings from her own knowledge of Theosophical archives. By putting Dr Harrison's work in her Preface as well as in the main text, she was able to immediately counter the prejudice with which some readers would have come to study HPB's life.\nMarcos Luís Borges de Resende – Brazil:\nWhen I read Sylvia Cranston's book on the life and influence of Helena Blavatsky, the founder of the modern Theosophical movement, I was delighted not only with the quality of the book and the narrative, but with the breadth and scale of H.P.B.’s work and influence, which Sylvia narrates.\nAlthough it is a bulky book apparently, it is so interesting that we don’t want stopping reading. At the beginning, in reporting the baptism of H.P.B., when it burns the priest's cassock, one can see symbolically that H.P.B. was a person who came into the world to revolutionize and shake the structures.\nThe book seems so interesting that I have already gave it as a gifts to some people and I strongly recommend its reading.\nHerman C. Vermeulen – the Netherlands:\nSylvia Cranston, a well-known author in the Theosophical world and outside, first came out with a book about reincarnation, that by itself has seen many reincarnations, written using pen names and with a co-author.\nBut first and foremost, and the most popular among our Theosophical students is Cranston’s book HPB:\nThe Extraordinary Life and Influence of Helena Blavatsky, Founder of the Modern Theosophical Movement. It is the best book available if you want to have a good idea of H. P. Blavatsky, whose life was full of unusual events which took place all over the world and not always comprehensible from an ordinary point view, It is the great merit of Sylvia Cranston to present this biography in a clear and coherent manner, helping students to come to a deeper understanding.\nHer book is often regarded as a good start for understanding the life of H. P. Blavatsky, and it stimulates the study of Theosophy as she presented it. By grasping the teachings of Theosophy the student is better able to see the consistency of events as laid out in this book, thus obtaining a broader vision of the essential work H. P. Blavatsky was engaged in.\nNicholas C. Weeks II – USA:\nAnita visited Dara Eklund & myself in California a few times. I recall one visit where the three of us went roaming among the Joshua trees and the orange poppy fields nearby.\nAnita, writing as S. L. Cranston, did a great service to Theosophy with her several reincarnation books and of course her superb biography of HPB.\nHere is Anita in a letter to Dara about Boris de Zirkoff's influence on her HPB biography:\n“Boris took such an interest in my humble venture into doing an HPB biography, and even gave me a name for the book. He made it clear it was no light decision that he made in favor of assisting me in the book and making available to me all his accumulated Blavatskiana material and the HPB letters. He revealed that when he has an important decision to make like this, he waits several days. He ‘consults’ the presence surrounding a sacred portrait on his desk – the Master with whom he felt closest – and when the answer comes, it is ‘always right.’ “\nJames Colbert – USA:\nWhen it came out, everyone (fellow Theosophical Students) was raving about Anita’s book, The Extraordinary Life & Influence of HELENA BLAVATSKY founder of the Modern Theosophical Movement. So I got it too. Opening the pages I marveled at the scholarship, then the treasure of a good writer, and, finally the depth and magnificence of HPB. For a period of time it was so extraordinary I did not know just how to absorb what was written. So much time when her name was encountered at the college or university level, or with friends, I found myself defensive of HPB in trying to let others know of this incredible human being. Now, I did not have to do this anymore. Anita did it for us all. We can proudly offer the work of the teacher to everyone with the suggestion – read the book.\nPersonally, I never really knew Anita. My mother did. She told me it was Anita’s last part of her life. She was in a rest home I think somewhere near Santa Barbara, California. We went by and, after the visit, (I waited in the car) my mother had a special glow on her face saying how important it was she got to talk with Anita.\nTheosophists are blessed with so many people of great minds who are quality human beings. Anita Atkins certainly is of this caliber. Blavatsky was and is at a pivotal point in history. She brought the millions of the East and of the West together. Anita recognized this and wrote a tribute and history to HPB’s life. I think we can offer a tribute to Anita Atkins as well.\nArni Narendran – India:\nIn 2013 when I visited the Arjuna Lodge in Buenos Aires, a fellow Theosophist wanted some information on HPB’s travels in Mumbai, to share the same with Jose Rubio Sanchez, a Theosophist in Spain. Other than Old Diary Leaves I wasn’t aware of any archival information that I could share, After a few months Jose sent me a copy of his book Viajes Inciaticos De H. P. Blavatsky. Immediately upon my return to India, with a sense of guilt I went to Adyar HQ library with the sole mission of studying the life of HPB, although there were enough resources on the Net.\nI came across a lot of books and resource on HPB and her travels, but of the many I read the contents of Sylvia Cranston’s, renowned biograph touched me to the core. Sylvia Cranston has left behind a monumental body of knowledge on this enigmatic and visionary icon.\nThe book is a fascinating narrative on this Super Woman Occultist. I could feel the authenticity of her writings as it has been corroborated with a prodigious research for fourteen long years. Reading Sylvia’s book itself was for me a sacred journey in being inspired by HPB’s arduous and tenacious search for Truth and Divine wisdom. One cannot but doubt that it was Sylvia’s goal in life to write such a book, having put her heart and soul to it.\nShe had retrieved abundant information on HPBs life that she was able to share with Boris de Zirkoff another great biographer of HPB. No student of occult science, whether a Theosophist or otherwise would miss out on reading the inspiring biography of HPB and no student of HPB should miss out on this erudite and scholarly work by Sylvia Cranston. She will be long remembered for her key contribution to Theosophical body of knowledge and Wisdom.\nPatrizia Calvi – Italy:\nBlavatsky has led us to touch the Eternal, has encouraged us to challenge ourselves to search for the unknown, has showed us how to become the protagonists of that epochal change originating from the T.S. founding.\nHer life was extraordinary in all senses, but to me, when I was a young Theosophist, it had to do more with an incomplete puzzle, with something still far or almost legendary.\nThrough her monumental biography on HPB, Anita Atkins has been able to recreate, with a captivating style, that incredible atmosphere hovering between Ancient Wisdom and enthusiastic pioneering in which HPB was immersed. In addition, with her long and thorough documentary research, through the direct testimonies of so many people and HPB own words, she managed to piece such a complex puzzle together, so as to give us a vibrant portrait of such an enigmatic woman, so brave and inspired.\nIf we need to understand her, this book is essential!\nGrazie Anita!\nSabine van Osta – Belgium:\nOf all the books that have been written on the life and acts of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the one written by Sylvia Cranston is definitely one of the most dense and accurate at the same time.it lends itself to all sorts of “readings”: whether you wish to read it for thorough study, just to read a few passages before going to sleep or for verifying some facts and figures while writing an article, the book by Sylvia Cranston is just what you need. Of course, when reading a few passages just before going to sleep, there might be a slight risk there.\nWasn’t the life of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky a marvel beyond comparison that might cause you to continue to read through the night? Whatever the case may be, it is clear to the reader that the biography provided by Sylvia Cranston is the result of some very meticulous and careful gathering and verifying of authentic source material that lies at the basis of it status of main reference book on the subject on the life of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.\nChong Sanne – Singapore:\nOf the many publications on H. P. Blavatsky’s life, H.P.B. The Extraordinary Life & Influence of HelenaBlavatsky Founder of the Modern Theosophical Movement by Sylvia Cranston remains one of the most definitive biographies of H.P.B. I never met the author but got to remember her name very well after reading this excellent publication several times.\nIndeed, I have a personal copy of this book. I find this biography well-researched and informative and serves as a useful reference book on H.P.B. It is the most popular and preferred biography of H.P.B. in the Library of the Singapore Lodge Theosophical Society which also has two of her other books, Reincarnation: A New Horizon in Science, Religion, and Society and Reincarnation: The Phoenix FireMystery. New members are often referred to this biography by Sylvia Cranston to know about our founder H.P.B.\nWim Leys – the Netherlands:\nMany years ago, somewhere in the nineties, I visited a friend in Germany, more than 500 kilometers away. After arriving, enjoying a cup of tea, I pulled out Sylvia Cranston’s biography of H.P. Blavatsky. “Now this is a marvelous book, I can certainly recommend it to you.” My friend laughed, and picked up a book from the desk: it was the same book.\nI had read a lot about H.P.B., but never got so much detailed information as from this particular book: great research done by Mrs. Cranston. Indeed an extraordinary life, and I specially loved chapter seven where her influence on 20th century art and spirituality is so well described.\nMarie Harkness – Ireland:\nThis is a very well researched, delightful and inspiring biography on HPB. We get a bird’s eye view of her life from birth till her sacred mission was completed. She had an exceptional childhood, was well educated, highly gifted and through time she learned to control the psychic phenomena which played around her. Her mother gave us a valuable insight; ‘The one gifted from childhood with an exceptional nature.’ Throughout her life HPB remained fiercely loyal to her Master whom she met physically at least twice and many times astrally. From her early days she had felt His protection.\nHer strong personality and influence touched many lives, Theosophists and many notable personages such as Gandhi, Nehru, N. Roerich, Yeats, AE Russell and Lord Tennyson who kept the Voice of the Silence by his bedside. We learn she never bore malice or criticism of herself but erased all from her memory….a lesson to us all. She stressed that Occultism is ‘knowledge of the soul’ and that one becomes ‘a beneficent force of nature.’ In her own words she was ‘engaged in a work that would someday free mankind from mental bondage.’\nHPB was overshadowed throughout her life having accepted the tremendous task which was hers to do, reintroducing the tenets of Theosophy to the world. Her extensive, deep and truly inspiring works are a most valuable and inspiring legacy for humanity. This biography on is truly exceptional and informative.\nJan Nicolaas Kind – Brazil:\nSilly me, but I have to honestly admit that at first I didn’t know of Sylvia Cranston (Anita Atkins), and her oeuvre. It was only when I traveled from Brazil to the Netherlands with my wife Terezinha in the late nineties, that our host there lent us this outstanding H.P.B. biography. Once we started reading it, we just couldn’t stop. Our host was quite amused but it was actually quite embarrassing. We were so fascinated that we would bring the book to the breakfast table, we would go over it before, during and after lunch or dinner, and when everyone would go to bed we kept on reading. As if that wasn’t enough, the book came with us even during train or bus rides when visiting friends and family; not a single moment was wasted to absorb the content. Keep in mind that we only had one copy at our disposal, so this was a true exercise in brotherly sharing.\nThis must be the very best book ever written on H.P.B.’s life, it so detailed and precise and at no point boring. Anita Atkins deserves a statue for this phenomenal work, it is so rich and it helps each earnest student to understand who H.P.B. really was. Without a doubt, this book helped us a lot in trying to penetrate into the wondrous, magnificent life and works of that incredible woman who blessed mankind by showing that, although steep and thorny, there is a road that does lead to the Heart of the Universe:\n.” HPB\nQuoted in “H.P.B” … on page 554\n+++\nA few Memories of Anita Atkins – The Author who wrote under the Pen Name of Sylvia Cranston\nDara Eklund – USA\nDara Eklund\n.\nPhoto with Joe Pope in the middle, mentor of Anita (on the right) and Carey Williams (on the left).

My first acquaintance with Anita – rather, with Sylvia Cranston – goes back to 1968 when her first reincarnationbook, the East West Anthology came into my hands – a wonderful book still in print that shows just how universal the idea is.\nWe did meet briefly at the TS Pasadena headquarters in the 1980s, but it wasn’t until 1991 that our friendship went beyond formal introductions. I made notes of it afterwards because of an interesting story she told. It was in early June, the day after the American Booksellers’ convention in New York where Theosophical University Press had exhibited. On Anita’s invitation, Alan Donant and I visited her and her brother Bob at their apartment on East 71st Street, about 4:00 in the afternoon. We spoke mainly about the HPB Centenary conference which she hadn’t been able to attend, and shared photos of the event that we had brought with us.\nDuring the conversation, Anita drew our attention to a photograph of HPB sitting on the mantle, the famous Resta portrait known as “The Sphinx.” It had belonged to Judge, she said, who gave it to Frances Steloff, a Theosophist who owned the Gotham Book Mart in New York City and who had helped James Joyce and others get published. Steloff in turn gave the photo to Anita and told her brief but unusual story about it that had occurred some years after HPB’s death. It seems that when a staunch supporter of HPB had come in one day and saw the photo, HPB's eyes “lit up.” Anita then said with her delightful humor, “Well, they haven’t lit up for me yet!”\nWhen I think of what Anita has given to Theosophy, to humanity, and to helping the world get to know the real HPB, I cannot help but believe that certain luminous eyes have indeed taken notice. But I also believe that Anita was someone who knew and understood that outer recognition of any kind is really quite unimportant – that simply to know we are doing our one-pointed duty to mankind and the world is sufficient. There are times, though, when recognition can add a positive force to the world’s progress. So we say thank you, Anita, for your immeasurable contribution, and for simply being who you are: a real friend who has helped us all. Whenever I see HPB’s photo and think of you, I cannot help but see a certain inner glow!\n+++\nIn our category THEOSOPHY, and being a part of this tribute you’ll also find: Facts you definitely need to know about Anita Atkins. Furthermore four articles written by Sylvia Cranston and Carey Williams: The Birth of the Theosophical Movement, A Blind Slave becomes a Famous Musician, The Book of the Golden Precepts and The Aching Problem of Suicide and a Remedy that Works.\nCompiling tributes is a time-consuming, but always a rewarding exercise. I must thank all the contributors and especially Janet Kerschner, Carey Williams, Nicholas Weeks and Will Thackara for their kind support and patience; without their input this TRIBUTE would not have been possible."}

{"text": "Later this morning, as I write, I’ll walk into the fellowship hall of the First Baptist Church of Lanett, Alabama, and address their deacons in an abbreviated (30 minute) synopsis of what is normally a 2-3 hour training session.\nI’ve done it in an evening and a morning, in two hours, and now in 30 minutes. I’ve done it in a roomful of deacons from several cities and in one church that had no deacons but wanted their potential leaders to have the training. Flexibility.\nBeing retired, I’m trying to take most of the invitations that come my way, although obviously if a date is already committed, the answer is “sorry; please ask me next time.”\nI’m learning what full-time evangelists and consultants know all too well: be prepared for anything. Two weeks ago, the host church put me up in a bed and breakfast. Last week, it was an apartment in the home of a member. This week, it’s the Holiday Inn Express. (Next week, I’m home!)\nI’m in Alabama, but oddly, it’s the Eastern Time Zone. There’s a little section of the state that abuts Georgia and that state’s time zone seeped over here, I suppose. (They say it goes back to when locals worked at mills just across the Georgia line and in order to avoid confusion about times, this area changed from Central to Eastern time. The mills have all shut down, but the change remains.)\nChurches, I’m finding–although I guess I knew this–are all alike and completely different.\nSouthern Baptist churches, at least those that invite me, seem to be alike in their style of organization and (to some extent) type of worship, in their commitment to Scripture and certain ways of doing ministry.\nBut each church is different and as unique as the fingerprints on your hand due to a hundred reasons: the pastor who leads them, the church members who make up the congregation, the town where they are located, and such.\nIt’s fun. But ask any full-timer, it can be challenging. I’m only finding it out and so far, enjoying the experience.\nA Facebook friend messages, “When are you going to preach in Montana?” I confess no one has ever asked me that before and the idea has never occurred to me. But one never knows.\nSaturday, driving from my mom’s home in Winston County, Alabama downstate to Lanett, I had to enter Birmingham and connect with Interstate 65 South to Montgomery. The normal way is to hit I-20 at Arkadelphia, drive east to downtown, then board I-65 South. But I had time and decided to retrace some old steps.\nStay on Arkadelphia and you pass in front of my Alma Mater, Birmingham-Southern College. The neighborhood has changed drastically since I matriculated here (graduating in 1962, light years ago), so high security fences surround the school. Inside, prosperity is the order of the day. The buildings gleam, the college is the showplace for this part of the city. It really is a “city built on a hill.”\nI never lived on campus, but nearby. On Graymont Avenue, there is the apartment building where Joel Davis and I rented a furnished one-bedroom for 75 dollars a month. The twin building alongside it has been razed, but our building stands. Two blocks down the street, the boarding house where we lived prior to this venture still stands. A couple of large Baptist churches have gone up on Graymont, ministering I would expect to the African-American community in the area.\nThe boarding house was just a simple four or five-bedroom home owned and run by a little lady who variously called herself Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Holleman (depending on her mood; I think both Pope and Holleman had been husbands at one time or other). She took in men boarders and charged the phenomenal rate of 15 dollars a week for a bed and two meals a day.\nJoel Davis moved in one day, newly arrived from LaGrange, GA. He was managing the office at Roadway Express and one of the employees roomed with Mrs. Pope-Holleman, so Joel took a room too. From the first, he and the landlady agreed on nothing. He didn’t care for the meals (Margaret will tell you: I’m low maintenance; everything is fine) and she didn’t like the way he left the newspaper scattered on the floor.\nOne Wednesday evening, Joel was sitting on the front porch swing reading the paper while I sat on the steps. He said, “Well, if I was back home in LaGrange, I’d be going to prayer meeting tonight.” I said, “Well, come go with me. I’m waiting on my ride right now.” He did, and that’s how he got to be a member of the large and impressive West End Baptist Church and we became close buddies.\nOne evening, Joel told me he’d found the apartment building down the street and he thought we ought to move there. We did, and it was a “God thing,” as we say. We would double-date–hey, he had the car, a 1958 Green Chevrolet; this was 1960–and we sang in both the youth and adult choirs at church. He’s the one who called my attention to “Maggie Henderson.”\nWe would lie awake at night (twin beds, in case you wonder) and talk. He’d say, “Man, did you see Maggie tonight? She is so beautiful.” I would answer, “You ought to date her.” Since he was 7 years older than me, and that put him 9 years older than her, that was a no-no. Little did I know he was working on me.\nHe became our best man. The first weekend of November, I’ll be leading a senior adult retreat for Snellville GA’s Annistown Road Baptist Church where Joel is senior adult minister. Then, I’ll preach in that church the following Sunday. Joel and (then) pastor JoJo Thomas started that church; today it is large and flourishing.\nI drove past Rickwood Field (with me? I’m back in Birmingham cutting across the Western section heading to I-65 South) which is identified as the oldest baseball park in America, having been constructed in 1910. Babe Ruth played here, as did Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Walt Dropo, and just about anyone who ever was anyone in the old days. I lived two blocks from this wonderful site.\nWhat was West End Baptist Church is now Mount Calvary Baptist. Thankfully, those good folks are taking great care of the facility. It looks beautiful. I thought of the sacred places inside the building–the choir loft where I was standing when God called me to preach in April, 1961, the foyer where I saw Margaret for the first time.\nAcross the street, Hemphill Elementary–Margaret’s first school–is shining and lovely, still in productive use, clearly.\nI drove down Cotton Avenue to 8th Street SW and turned onto that little one-block long street. Margaret lived at 808. All the houses there were later bought up by Baptist Medical Center-Princeton and are now grassy expanses, but you can see the cuts in the curb where the driveway came. Holy ground.\nA few blocks further is Elmwood Cemetery. This a massive graveyard with all kinds of celebrities interred, including Paul Bear Bryant. My in-laws, James Waller and Inez Shrauger Henderson, are here. I had to call Margaret in New Orleans for assistance in finding the graves. There they were. A grateful son-in-law stopped by to let them know I still love them.\nThen, on to Lanett. Foolishly, I stopped in Auburn to fill up with gasoline and got caught in the football traffic.\nMy hotel in Lanett is filled with Auburn fans, but since they lost to Kentucky, it was a quiet evening.\nNow, on to church. The deacons await. I’m excited.\nWhen I moved back up into the country, I would spend one night each week with you guys to keep from the long commute. About all I remember is that I had to prepare the evening meal and we fattened up on macaroni and cheese. That was the only thing I knew how to warm up. We survived!\nJoe – I am Rodney at the Holiday Inn Express where you stay. It is a pleasure to have you here amongst the Auburn fans. I found your picture you drew of the “Young guy” behind the counter hilarious!! Everyone has been kidding me about it all day. Patty let me copy it and I hope it is ok that I did that! Thanks so much!! I posted it on my myspace and facebook as well as sent it over to Hampton Inn since I work over there as well\nJoe,\nI grew up one block up from Marsh Bakery. I went to Pike Avenue Baptst Church, then Fairview with Eural Starnes. I remember the majesty of the Churches, every denomination, and still drive through wanting to go in and see them all one more time. The roads you traveled were the same I would travel, and I am sure the same traveled by many before…\nBro. Starnes performed my wedding at Fairview Baptist in 1976, and later my husband and I moved to West End Baptist. It feels like time has been rewound to go back to those areas."}

{"text": "February 28, 2013 @ Orange Water and Sewer Authority’s Board Meeting\nMarch 5, 2013 @ Raleigh City Council\nOn February 28 & March 5, I appeared in Chapel Hill & Raleigh respectively, along with several other patriots to educate the governing bodies of the new science and legal precedent that proves adding fluoride to the drinking water is illegal & unhealthy if not killing us softly. During my 3-5 minute speeches I referenced a recent lawsuit filed in the District of Maryland where defendant and big-Agra conglomerate Nestlé were sued for damages stemming from the sale and marketing of Fluoride-Added Water products. The 22-Page legal complaint is hosted at the bottom of this post, if you’re into that kinda thing.\nContrary to what you might call “conventional wisdom,” the damages cited were specifically listed as “dental fluorosis,” a known side effect of overexposure to ingested fluorides which causes white spotting and deterioration of the dental enamel. But wait, I thought Fluoride was supposed to HELP your teeth, not hurt them? Well therein lies the rub ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a SCAM! The result of the lawsuit forced Nestle to begin re-branding and re-formulating their water products to REMOVE fluoride. Even in isolation of all the other evidence – the simple fact that a lawsuit forced a mega-company like Nestle to rebrand their product makes a naturally strong statement against the use of fluoride to prevent cavities:\nFrom This:\nTo This:\nThis basic truth behind fluorosis and it’s causal relationship to ingested fluorides has been the leitmotif of this site since its inception. This is especially relevant to me since I consider myself a sufferer of Fluorosis. The self evident reality of white spots on my teeth and mottled molars was the inciting moment which originally motivated me to speak out about fluoridation in the first place and to be frank I didn’t originally believe I would find much.\nAfter some due diligence when I began researching this issue in Durham, I was SHOCKED to learn our water treatment plant does not even DENY the fact that ingesting fluoride causes Fluorosis. How can they say in one breath that fluoride is good for our teeth but in the other breath say the opposite?\nThis basic truth was demonstrated in a very visceral way when I received the following material safety data sheet from Don Greeley, the Director of Durham’s Water Treatment Plant which is posted & highlighted below:\nAs for the OWASA board members and their response to my speech? Stay tuned @ DurhamAgainstFluoride.com where I will be posting more videos/articles about citizen patriots near YOU who are taking action against this crazy policy of dumping toxic waste into our water supply and calling it “medicine.”\nMichelle Nemphos Complaint Against Nestlé\nNemphos Complaint Case 1:12-cv-02718-RDB by sturmhouse\nMcFarlane is a pharmacist, therefore she has ties to the dishonest pharmaceutical industry, You will never ‘fight’ city hall, as long as she is Mayor.

{"text": "The goal of the Illinois DUI process is to prevent another DUI arrest. One way of achieving that goal is through punishment. That’s the fines, the jail time, the probation and so forth.\nThe second means is through rehabilitation. The thinking is that if you have a DUI, you may have a drinking problem. If you do not fix the drinking problem, you are at risk to receive another DUI.\nYou may need outside help. The type of help you need will depend upon the severity of your problem.\nIf you are arrested for DUI in Illinois and are considered an appropriate candidate for court supervision, before the judge can sentence you to supervision, you must obtain a drug and alcohol evaluation from a facility licensed by the Division of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse (DASA) These evaluating agencies will interview you about your drinking and drug habits and ask other questions designed to determine what types of problems alcohol or drug use have caused in your life apart from the DUI.\nIf you are not eligible for court supervision and are found guilty of the DUI, you are not required by law to obtain an evaluation but many judges will demand one anyway. Furthermore, upon being convicted of the DUI, you will lose your license and have to have a Secretary of State hearing. At such a hearing, you must produce an evaluation and other documents.\nIn summary, whether you receive court supervision (and avoid a revoked license) or are convicted of DUI and need a driver’s license reinstatement hearing, you must obtain an evaluation. Choosing the right evaluator is critical, especially if you are preparing to attend a driver’s license hearing.\nThe strategy you use in DUI court is not always the best strategy to use at the Secretary of State. The right evaluator for a license hearing is not the one who makes things the easiest for you. That may work in court but the Secretary of State will see right through it.\nNor is the right evaluator normally the one who charges the least. Those evaluators may take shortcuts that almost always hurt your chances at a driver’s license hearing. By the same token, the most expensive evaluator is not always the best one.\nYour best bet in selecting an evaluator for a driver’s license hearing is to consult an experienced driver’s license reinstatement lawyer. Find out how many cases he has handled at the Secretary of State, how long he has been doing it, whether he had experience as a hearing officer before representing people, and how long that experience was. If he has long experience, he is going to know a lot of evaluators throughout the state and know who the good ones are and which ones to avoid."}

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see you, Gramma. Things were always so hard between families. Bitterness. Regret. Hate.\nBut then one day, the incurable came and took you. Your life, as beautiful and wonderful as any rose, was gone, wilted away like your petals. And I had never gotten to say good-bye.\nYour funeral was the saddest moment I had ever known.

{"text": "What does a black man have to do to not get shot by the police? After Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were unnecessarily and unjustifiably shot and killed, there were a lot of apologists for the police claiming that these two were in some way too resistant and not cooperative enough. That not being “cooperative enough” was enough to shoot someone is a pretty low bar and seems to give police far too much leeway in dispensing lethal force. Then, on Monday, we discovered that even being totally cooperative isn’t enough to appease trigger happy cops.\nIn North Miami, Florida, Charles Kinsey, a worker at a mental health center was shot by police with an assault rifle as he was laying in the middle of the road with his arms up in the air. Kinsey had gone into the road to retrieve an autistic man who had wandered out into the road from the mental health center. Neither man was armed.\nKinsey obeyed every command police gave him and they shot him as he lay arms up on the ground. Next to him, the patient was playing with a toy. And no, it was not a gun or anything resembling one.\nWhat the living fuck?\nBefore they shot him, Kinsey had told police, politely, “Sir, there’s no need for firearms.” After they shot him and cuffed him, Kinsey asked the officer why he shot him, the officer reportedly responded, “I don’t know.”\nBoth Kinsey and the patient are black, of course.\nI expect apologists to come out of the woodworks saying that this was a one in a million accident and that race had nothing to do with it. Furthermore, they’ll likely tell us all how difficult it is being a cop and with all the shooting incidents recently that this is to be expected. They’ll claim we’re just trying to create a problem where one doesn’t exist and that there is no racism or police brutality encouraged by racist attitudes in America. And they will be lying their fucking brains out.\nAsk yourself if you would have shot a man lying on the ground with his hands up in the air. Ask yourself if you assume you would murder a man if he struggled when you tackled him for selling CDs in front of a convenience store. Ask yourself if you would draw your gun on a compliant man reaching for his registration during a traffic stop. Ask yourself if you would shoot a kid within seconds of encountering him because he has something in his hands that might be a gun. Ask yourself if you would arrive at a scene of a clearly intoxicated man wandering in the road and shoot him fifteen times less than 5 seconds after you got out of your car. Ask yourself if you would choke a man to death for selling cigarettes illegally on a sidewalk.\nAsk yourself if you feel that any of these situations, in which the victim is always a black person, generate fear in you that would provoke you to lethal force.\nYes, police encounter situations every hour of everyday that they have to assess quickly. Yes, police are killed on the job. It is a risky job fraught with potential threats that could turn lethal. But if you chose to be a cop, you should be able to discern the lethal threats from the non-lethal threats and respond appropriately. If you’re carrying fear of people and your job into a situation to the point that you can’t, you should not be a cop.\nBeing a cop requires more than a gun. It requires the ability to assess situations for what they are, assess people in stressful situations, and do what you can to enforce the law with as little physical force as possible. If you disagree with that, you shouldn’t be a cop.\nGiven the recent shootings of police in Dallas and Baton Rouge, let me say that I strongly disapprove of hunting and killing police in reprisal. Violence begets violence, but not everyone is sane.\nThe real insanity, however, is what encourages more and more cops to behave so criminally. The justice system doesn’t punish these officers the way they should. In acquittal after acquittal (assuming indictments are even handed down), police officers who kill unarmed or cooperative black people are given the blessing of the state for their vile and irresponsible actions. Just this week, another Baltimore police officer accused in the death of Freddie Gray was acquitted. A man died in police custody and somehow no one is culpable. How can no one be culpable for a man’s unnatural death? It’s absurd to even suggest such an idea.\nAsk yourself, would you believe no one was to blame?\nAsk yourself, are our judges, our Justice Department, our district attorneys, our internal affairs departments all doing the right thing?\nAsk yourself, does this not make your heart hurt?\nAnd if not, why not?"}

{"text": "Overview of Dalethyne and other Topical Antiseptics for Wound Care\nApartment Puri Casablanca #b36-05, JL Puri Casablanca no 1, Jakarta 12870, Indonesia\n1. INTRODUCTION\nWide array of wound antiseptic has been used in wound care. With recent development of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need in developing a new topical antiseptic. The purpose of this review is to study the characteristics of commonly used antiseptic in comparison with Dalethyne for wound care. The natural process of wound healing consists of 4 overlapping but well defined phases which are hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Hemostasis is the first phase of wound healing and is a blood clot formed of thrombocyte aggregation and other blood cells (Enoch et al., 2006). Blood clot will provide a temporary extracellular matrix to facilitate cell migration. Inflammation phase involves migration of blood cells such as phagocytic neutrophils and macrophages to the wound location. These phagocytes will remove foreign debris while also releasing cytokines which will promote fibroblast migration and proliferation in later inflammation phase (Topman et al., 2013). Wound re-epithelization started in a few hours after wound formation and is a part of proliferation phase. This phase is marked with the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis and neovascularization), which will restore perfusion and maintain the formation of new tissue (Topman et al., 2013). This formation is supported by synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix protein fragments such as collagen fiber by fibroblast and granulated tissue (Enoch et al., 2006). The final phase of wound healing involves collagen remodeling and the formation of scar tissue. Thus, a wound treatment agent need to protect wounded tissue from bacterial infection, reduce inflammation and induce cell proliferation to help in reconstruction of damaged tissue (Kulac et al., 2013). The optimal wound healing agent will protect the tissue from bacterial infection, reduce inflammation, and induce cell proliferation to help with the reconstruction of the damaged tissue (Kulac et al., 2013). It will ideally act as antioxidant because the free radical is considered as the main cause of inflammation in the wound healing process (Mohanty et al., 2012).\nProper healing of wounds, arising either from injury or from diabetes, using a suitable medication poses a severe problem over the ages. Various herbal products have been used since long time for wound healing. It has been reported that bandages and dressings soaked in natural honey keep the wound clean and stimulate the healing. Colloidal silver and Chinese herbal applications showed positive effects on faster healing (Siavash et al., 2015; Chen et al., 2010). Fatty acids have been shown to have intense effects on wound healing and infections (Alexander and Supp, 2014). Dalethyne (Dharshan, 2018) is a content of olive oil. The novel compound dalethyne is a combination of four key compounds of peroxide, anisidine, iodine and aldehyde obtained from a process of fatty acid segregation using high-defined oxygen; that brings functions as anti-microbial, fungicidal and virucidal. Investigations have revealed that dalethyne reduces inflammation in mice and accelerate wound healing (Ervina et al., 2017). The present review provides an overview of the various wound healing agents commonly used with special emphasis on the wound healing potential and the antiseptic action of the dalyethene derivatives. However, the review is exhaustive and summarises the wound healing action of the dalyethene derivatives based on the published data.\n2. REVIEW\nSome of the commonly used antiseptic agents have been reviewed in the present report emphasising their potential as wound healing agents. The review chiefly focusses on the effect of the Dalethyene derivatives in comparison to the convention antiseptics in terms of their wound healing effects. Extensive research has been done on te Dalythene derivatives to determine their potential as wound healing agents as well as their function as antiseptics. Table 1 provides a comparative analysis of the anti-microbial potential of the traditional antimicrobial agents together with the anti-microbial effect of the Dalythene derivatives. Additionally, Tables 2, 3 and 4 summarise the wound healing potential of the traditional compounds together with that of the Dalyethene derivatives and provides a comparison of the exerted side effects and the contraindications.\nTable 1: Antimicrobial activities of the wound healing agents\nTable 2: Wound healing properties\nTable 3: Application of the wound healing agents\nTable 4: Side Effects associated with the wound healing agents\n2.1 Normal Saline - NaCl 0.9%\nNormal saline (from here will be mentioned as saline) consisting of sodium chloride (NaCl) diluted in sterile water with concentration of 0.9% (9g/L of water). Saline is commonly used for i.v. injection to treat dehydration or for external use such as wound irrigation. In wound irrigation, saline itself doesn't provide any significant benefit compared to sterile water. Saline being an easy to use antiseptic is preferred for wound irrigation (Beam JW, 2006).\n2.2 Chlorhexidine\nChlorhexidine is a biguanide antiseptic with 2 common formulations: (a) chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) in alcohol based formulation and (b) chlorhexidine digluconate (CHD) in water based formulation. Chlorhexidine is worked in a physiological pH (pH: 5.5-7.0) by releasing a chlorhexidine cation from chlorhexidine salt. This cation is readily adsorbed by negatively charged bacterial cell walls, causing membrane disruption. Due to its pH dependent mechanism of action, chlorhexidine can be deactivated by other skin cleansers (Deck and Winston, 2012).\nThe antimicrobial activity of chlorhexidine is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens but especially effective against gram positive cocci such as Staphylococcus aureus. Chlorhexidine is also effective against gram negative rod and cocci such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa but not to the extent of its effect against positive gram bacteria (Payne et al, 1999). Routine usage of chlorhexidine has also proven to be effective against sporal bacteria due to its persistent effect, resulting in a similar effect such as alcohol disinfection but requiring longer time (McDonnell and Russell, 1999). Chlorhexidine is not effective against viral infection (Deck and Winston, 2012) and not recommended against MRSA due to developed resistance (Cookson et al, 1991).\nSince its invention in 1946, chlorhexidine has been used in the medical world as an antiseptic. Chlorhexidine has been used for hand wash and pre-operative disinfection but use of chlorhexidine in wound treatment is limited for wound irrigation (Russel, 2003). Chlorhexidine failed to provide any other benefit in wound healing process other than its antiseptic properties and might even prove detrimental if used in cases other than for irrigation (Main, 2008). Chlorhexidine can't be used for middle ear surgery and neurosurgery due to its neurotoxicity (Deck and Winston, 2012).\n2.3 Povidone-iodine\nPovidone-iodine (PVP-1) is an iodophore antiseptic commonly used for topical disinfection. As its name suggest, PVP-1 is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide and iodine. The bacteriocidal action of PVP-1 is attributed to the presence of free iodine provided in PVP-1, while povidone bonded to iodine provides a slow release of free iodine to reduce toxicity and side effect. Free iodine will alter membrane structure and prevent hydrogen bonding of pathogens. It has a broad spectrum of antiseptic activity and is frequently used for treating minor wound and surgical disinfection (Cooper, 2004). PVP-1 is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria including gram positive, negative and even MRSA. Aside from bacteria, PVP-1 is also effective against other kind of pathogen including mycobacteria, yeast, dermatophyte, encapsulated and unencapsulated virus and protozoa. PVP-1 is also effective against bacterial spore in a prolonged application (Deck and Winston, 2012).\nPVP-1 doesn't provide any benefit in wound healing process compared to other antiseptics such as PHMB (polyhexamethylene biguanide) and silver. Even so, PVP-1 doesn't cause as much pain during dressing change compared to silver dressing. In general, wound healing process using PVP-1 takes around 2-3 weeks (Kramer et al, 2018). Further, PVP-1 shows anti-inflammatory activities which help the wound healing process (Bigliardi et al, 2017). Usage of PVP-1 for longer than 7 days is not recommended because prolonged use of PVP-1 may alter thyroidal function. If there is no other option for antiseptic dressing, routine thyroid function test should be conducted in a prolonged use. Extra attention should be given in application for pregnant woman, infant ageing less than 6 months and patient with thyroid disease. Contraindications for PVP-1 include hypersensitivity, hyperthyroid goiter, dermatitis herpetiformis, undergo radioiodine therapy or peritoneal lavage (Kramer et al, 2018).\n2.4 Silver Sulfadiazine\nSilver sulfadiazine (SSD) is a topical antibiotic commonly used for wound dressing, especially to prevent infection in burns. Antibiotic property of SSD is attributed to the presence of silver ions and sulfadiazine released when in contact with aqueous environment such as bodily fluid in burn wound. Silver ions are readily absorbed by bacteria and bind to negatively charged proteins and nucleic acids resulting in disruption of cell membrane and internal function. Sulfadiazine also helps by inhibiting dihydropteroate synthase enzyme (Cooper, 2004).\nThe antibacterial activity of silver is effective against both gram positive and negative bacteria (Hermans, 2006). Due to the universal antibacterial mechanism of silver by causing proton leakage, silver also shows broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against yeast and virus. Silver is especially effective in preventing the colonization of P. aeruginosa that frequently infect burn wound (Fong et al, 2005). Complimenting antimicrobial property of silver, SSD also showed positive properties to help in wound healing process. In pig with clean wound, application of SSD dressing increased the epithelialization rate by 28% (Geronemus et al, 1979). Usage in human showed increase in quality of care by reducing the number of bacterial count, increased healing and decrease in pain. Silver is also capable of inhibiting wound odor and secretion (Kramer et al, 2018).\nSilver nanoparticles are also known to have anti-inflammatory properties which help in wound healing process (Wong et al, 2009). Due to its activation mechanism, silver is best used for healable wound with high risk of colonization such as burn wound. Silver is not recommended to be used for maintenance wound because the main goal of the treatment is to reduce moisture which will prevent the activation of silver's antimicrobial activity (Sibbald et al, 2017). However, silver is not recommended to be used for longer than 14 days or as a prophylaxis (Kramer et al, 2018). Side effect that may occur during usage of SSD can be caused by reaction towards sulfonamide. These reactions include blood diascariasis, hypersensitivity, steven-johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis and exfoliative dermatitis. Reaction can also occur in gastrointestinal tract, liver, central nervous system and kidney. Usage of SSD in patient with G6PD deficiency can cause hemolytic reaction (Caffee and Bingham, 1982).\n2.5 Polyhexamethylene-Biguanide\nPolyhexamethylene-biguanide (PHMB) is a biguanide antibiotic used for disinfectant and antiseptic. PHMB is a polymer with positive charge which helps to deliver the active component to the negatively charged bacterial wall. This will cause the loss of fluidity in bacterial cell wall, causing the dissolution of bacteria. It is essentially a better version of chlorhexidine, providing the same efficacy but with better safety and tolerability (Kramer et al, 2018). PHMB is effective against a broad spectrum of pathogens including positive and negative gram bacteria, yeast and virus (Sibbald et al, 2017). Further, PHMB is able to prevent and treat infection from bacteria that commonly infect wounds such as P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and even MRSA (Fabry et al, 2013).\nIn addition to its antimicrobial activity, PHMB also helps in the process of wound healing (Sibbald et al, 2017). During both in vitro (Hubner et al, 2010) and in vivo studies (Perez et al, 2010) PHMB is able to destroy biofilm and speed up wound healing process as reflected in an increased capillary density and increase in arteriole diameter (Goertz et al, 2011). PHMB also showed anti-inflammatory activities in wound healing process (Gentile et al, 2012). PHMB has a wide array of formulation and application. PHMB is commonly available in the form of solution, hydrogel and for wound dressing (Eberlein and Assadian, 2010). PHMB is best used for chronic exudative wound with a high risk of bacterial colonization (Sibbald et al, 2017). PHMB foam dressing formulation is especially effective when used in conjunction with negative pressure wound treatment in treating diabetic ulcer and burn wound (Eberlein T and Kanis J, 2014). Side effect rarely occurs in PHMB usage but may include hypersensitivity. Aside from hypersensitivity, contraindication results if given to pregnant woman with less than 4 months old pregnancy (Kramer et al, 2018).\n2.6 Dalethyne\nOlive oil is composed of 98% triglycerides, including predominantly mono unsaturated oleic acids, their anti-inflammatory properties being proven to be essential for skin maintenance. Dharshan developed Dalethyne based on rearrangement of the structure of olive oil based on substituent variation and reported 18 different dalethyne derivatives by varying the side chains of the parent scaffold (Darshan, 2018a). These 18 compounds have been categorised into four different groups, namely peroxide, aldehyde, iodine and anisidine.\nIodine, peroxide, and anisidine are compounds that play a role in the epidermis and dermis level and work in cleaning the wound area (killing bacteria), so that a conducive environment is created for the repair process. Peroxide has the ability to trigger the performance of macrophages and neutrophils, which play a role in engulfing bacterial cells, dying cells, and dead cells. In the process, the macrophages will secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18 which in turn maximize the inflammatory response in the body. The three cytokines play essential role in the inflammatory process and the wound area is cleared of dead bacterial cells and body cells in a faster time than without assistance of the cytokines. IL-6 will trigger an acute phase response, where this process will trigger the formation of fibrin to cover the wound area, so that bacteria cannot enter the wound (Desborough 2000). Of the four types of compounds contained in Dalethyne, only the aldehydic compounds are able to infiltrate and work in the hypodermic layer. When a wound occurs, the released ATP or extracellular ATP in the injured tissue has reduced ability to trigger the wound healing process. So, the presence of the aldehyde in the hypodermic area will trigger extracellular ATP, so that more ATP will be released from the surrounding cells through the process of sugar metabolism. High ATP can induce the body's response to injuries by activating the release of the growth factors such as TGF-α, EGF, βFGF etc. The higher the ATP in the environment, the higher is the growth factor level. EGF and βFGF will promote reepithelialization and induce collagen and keratin synthesis (Laato et al., 1987). TGF-β, TNFα, and IL-1 will enter hypodermis and trigger collagen synthesis. Collagen in the hypodermis will rise to the upper layer. Subsequently, the growth factors trigger the occurrence of angiogenesis and granulation. The increase in collagen concentration in the dermis and epidermis layer is conducive to the initiation of repair processes such as epithelialization, fibroplasia and neovascularization (Velnar et al., 2009).\nIn chronic wounds, necrotic tissue around the wound causes inhibition in the process of repairing the wound (because the body is unable to do autolysis), so the tissue needs to be debrided. Accumulates dead cells, pathogens, and exudates take place in the necrotic tissues. Debridement resulting from effective application of topical drugs to chronic wounds has a positive impact facilitating induction of a process of wound repair. However, the negative impact of debridement is to open the entry pathway of bacteria into the blood vessels, which affects other complications. MRSA is also found in areas of chronic injury, especially in necrotic tissue in diabetic foot disease, while entry of the bacteria into the blood vessels leads to sepsis (Bowling et al.; 2009). The use of Dalethyne may minimize areas treated with debridement and having a broad-spectrum antibacterial abilities (can kill groups of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics such as ESBL, KPC, and MRSA) without causing resistance, dalythene can work effectively in healing skin due to chronic wounds. Herewith, we summarized some studies both experimental (in vivo and in vitro) as well as clinical study in involving the use of Dalethyne as antiseptic and wound healing agent.\n2.6.1 Antiseptic action of dalythene\nSeveral studies have been conducted to explore the antiseptic activities of Dalethyne ranging from in silico, in vitro and in vivo studies.\nIn silico analysis:\nDalethyne cream facilitates the wound healing process by activating the molecular mechanism involved in the wound healing process. Dalethyne has been predicted to be able to lower inflammatory agents such as MMP-9 and COX-2. It is also able to reduce oxidative stress, modulate the expression of growth factors (FGF-2 and TGF-βl) and inflammation mediators (IL-lβ and IL-6) (Darshan, 2018a).\nAccording to the docking result of the 18 Dalethyne derivatives, methyl 8-octadecanoate has a conducive inhibitory activity against C. albicans and P. aeruginosa. Methyl palmitate has a good activity against HSV-1 (Herpes simplex viruses) and methyl-6, 6-dimethoxyoctanoate shows excellent against HPV-1 (Human papillomavirus). Dalethyne exerts potential activity against Candida albicans and Candida glabrata by inhibiting the fungi’s enzymatic activity resulting in malnutrition of the pathogen. Dalethyne also exhibits good inhibitory potential against bacteria especially Peudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA. Dalethyne showed little activity against HSV-1, HSV-2 and HPV-16 but showed most promising action against HSV-1 (Darshan observation, Report UI. Study in Silica of Dalethyne against Wound Healing Bacteria).\nBased on the variance of bacteria tested, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella Pneumonia constituted the gram-negative bacteria group, while MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Aerococcus viridans constituted the gram-positive bacteria group. It has been reported that Methyl linoleate can inhibit four bacteria namely, Staphylococcus aureus (with penicillin binding protein mechanism and sortase mechanism), Streptococcus pyogenes, Aerococcus viridans, and Escherichia coli. Again, Methyl myristate shows activity by inhibiting bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus with DNA gyrase B mechanism, Streptococcus pyogenes, Aerococcus viridans, and Escherichia coli. On the other hand, Dimethyl azelate can inhibit MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus with penicillin binding protein mechanism and Klebsiella neumonia. Methyl 11-eicosanoate is also capable of inhibiting bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus with penicillin binding protein mechanism and Klebsiella neumonia. From 18 Dalethyne compounds, 13 compounds have been found to inhibit 7 bacteria (gram-negative and gram-positive), thereby exhibiting excellent potential as broad-spectrum antibacterial agent (Darshan observation, In silica study of wound healing mechanism, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities of Dalethyne).\nIn vitro studies analysis:\nDalethyne is effective against a wide array of pathogens commonly found in wound infection. Dalethyne is able to inhibit the formation and destroy biofilm produced pathogens, requiring lower concentration to inhibit bacterial growth compared to inhibition or destruction of biofilm (Darshan observation, Effectivity of Dalethyne against biofilm). As an antiseptic, Dalethyne is effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA, Clostridium pefringens, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Dalethyne at the 30 % concentration has a phenol coefficient value to Salmonella typhi bacteria of 3.63, while for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria of 4.44. These results prove that Dalethyne at 30% concentration has antiseptic effects against Salmonella typhi bacteria 3.63 times better than phenol, while for Staphylococcus aureus bacteria its ability is 4.44 times better than that of phenol. The results for the percentage of bacteria killed indicate that this compound is most effective to eliminate Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Clostridium perfingens. Its effectiveness for Candida albicans is not as good as to bacteria mentioned before since it takes long contact time to be able to give effect as expected (Darshan KS, 2018b, c). Dalethyne is also effective against other multiple drug resistant organisms such as ESBL E. coli, ESBL K. pneumonia and Carbapenem resistant K. pneumonia (Darshan observation, Dalethyne: effectiveness study on microbes which cause nosocomial infection an in vitro study).\nIn vivo study analysis:\nDalethyne has been tested on incised wound on rat infected with clinical isolate of bacteria including: S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. pyogenes, P. aeruginosa, A. baumanii, MRSA, ESBL E. coli, ESBL K. pneumonia, Carbapenem resistant K. pneumonia and candida fungus. Topical application of Dalethyne on infected wound incision resulted in 0 mortality by day-7, together with increased macroscopic and microscopic wound healing. Increased microscopic wound healing is indicated by perfect epithelialization, sufficient fibroplasia, increased vascularization and no scar by day-7. Infection had lengthened the inflammation period, distracted the fibroplasia and neovascularization process, resulting in longer duration of wound healing process (Darshan observation, Dalethyne effectivity study on infected incised wound of rattus norvegicus)\n2.6.2 Wound healing\nIn studies conducted on rat, topical application of Dalethyne product on incised skin provided faster wound healing compared to placebo. Placebo consisted of vehicle cream without Dalethyne. In placebo group, erythema and edema still occurred on the 3rd day, while the incised wound has dried up on the 6th day and was covered in crustae. In Dalethyne group, erythema and oedema was abated on the 3rd day, while majority of the incised wound closed up on the 6th day. Dalethyne increased the rate of erythema and edema abatement and wound closing compared to placebo. In a study conducted on rat, topical application of Dalethyne on incised wound on rat tend to increase macroscopic and microscopic wound healing by day-7. Microscopic wound healing indicated by perfect epithelialization, sufficient fibroplasia, increased vascularization and no scar was left by day-7 (Darshan observation, Dalethyne acute toxicity study on the incised wound healing rattus norvegicus).\n2.6.3 Toxicity and Clinical studies\nSeveral in vivo studies have been conducted to explore the possible toxicity and side effect caused by topical application of Dalethyne. On study of intramuscular LDSO acute toxicity using 4ml/kg BW dose, intramuscular injection of Dalethyne in rat's thigh did not cause any side effect or mortality (Darshan observation, LDSO Acute toxicity study of intramuscular injection of Dalethyne) Topical application of Dalethyne on incised wound inn rat didn't cause any mortality until day-7. Further, topical application of Dalethyne product on rabbit's intact skin doesn't cause irritation or hypersensitivity reaction and also no internal organ toxicity on both intact and incised skin. The acute skin irritation study of Dalethyne in all 3 doses of concentration (20%, 30% and 40%) in rabbit showed no sign of skin irritation, similar to control/vehicle (glycerine) (Darshan observation, Acute skin irritation study of Dalethyne in rabbit). Further, clinical study has been conducted for the usage of Dalethyne in human. Dalethyne could be used for grade 0-1 diabetic foot ulcer, dry skin, acne and mild burn.\n3. CONCLUSION\nThe present review provides a precise summary of the various wound healing agents that are traditionally used for the treatment of wounds. In addition, a comparison table has been presented in the present review to determine the wound healing potential of the Dalethyne derivatives over the traditionally known components. The antiseptic action of the compounds have also been analysed in the present review which adds to the wound healing potential of the different components. Most of the traditionally known components exhibit limitation in inhibiting all the bacteria that are commonly known for infecting the wounds. However, the Dalethyne derivatives have been found to exert potential against all the commonly identified bacteria that have been indicated in infecting wounds. Further, observations from different types of studies as well as clinical trial analysis indicates that the Dalethyne derivatives have proved to exhibit potent anti-microbial as well as antiseptic action which in turn accounts for the improved wound healing potential of the Dalethyne derivatives.\nAcknowledgements\nThis review work has been sponsored and funded by the PT.

{"text": "Unlike black-box cryptography, an adversary in a white-box security model has full access to the implementation of the cryptographic algorithm. Thus, white-box implementation of cryptographic algorithms is more practical. Nevertheless, in recent years, there is no white-box implementation for public key cryptography. In this paper, we propose the first white-box implementation of the identity-based signature scheme in the IEEE P1363 standard. Our main idea is to hide the private key to multiple lookup tables, so that the private key cannot be leaked during the algorithm executed in the untrusted environment. We prove its security in both black-box and white-box models. We also evaluate the performance of our white-box implementations, in order to demonstrate utility for real-world applications.\nSoftware-Defined Networking (SDN) enables flexible deployment and innovation of new networking applications by decoupling and abstracting the control and data planes. It has radically changed the concept and way of building and managing networked systems, and reduced the barriers to entry for new players in the service markets. It is considered to be a promising solution providing the scale and versatility necessary for IoT. However, SDN may also face many challenges, i.e., the centralized control plane would be a single point of failure. With the advent of blockchain technology, blockchain-based SDN has become an emerging architecture for securing a distributed network environment. Motivated by this, in this work, we summarize the generic framework of blockchain-based SDN, discuss security challenges and relevant solutions, and provide insights on the future development in this field.\nModern mobile devices are equipped with a variety of tools and services, and handle increasing amounts of sensitive information. In the same trend, the number of vulnerabilities exploiting mobile devices are also augmented on a daily basis and, undoubtedly, popular mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS, represent an alluring target for malware writers. While researchers strive to find alternative detection approaches to fight against mobile malware, recent reports exhibit an alarming increase in mobile malware exploiting victims to create revenues, climbing towards a billion-dollar industry. Current approaches to mobile malware analysis and detection cannot always keep up with future malware sophistication [2],[4]. The aim of this work is to provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the latest research on mobile malware detection techniques and pinpoint their benefits and limitations.\nResearch on adversarial examples for machine learning has received much attention in recent years. Most of previous approaches are white-box attacks; this means the attacker needs to obtain before-hand internal parameters of a target classifier to generate adversarial examples for it. This condition is hard to satisfy in practice. There is also research on black-box attacks, in which the attacker can only obtain partial information about target classifiers; however, it seems we can prevent these attacks, since they need to issue many suspicious queries to the target classifier. In this paper, we show that a naive defense strategy based on surveillance of number query will not suffice. More concretely, we propose to generate not pixel-wise but block-wise adversarial perturbations to reduce the number of queries. Our experiments show that such rough perturbations can confuse the target classifier. We succeed in reducing the number of queries to generate adversarial examples in most cases. Our simple method is an untargeted attack and may have low success rates compared to previous results of other black-box attacks, but needs in average fewer queries. Surprisingly, the minimum number of queries (one and three in MNIST and CIFAR-10 dataset, respectively) is enough to generate adversarial examples in some cases. Moreover, based on these results, we propose a detailed classification for black-box attackers and discuss countermeasures against the above attacks.\nCloud computing is a unlimited computing resource and storing resource, which provides a lot of convenient services, for example, Internet and education, intelligent transportation system. With the rapid development of cloud computing, more and more people pay attention to reducing the cost of data management. Data sharing is a effective model to decrease the cost of individuals or companies in dealing with data. However, the existing data sharing scheme cannot reduce communication cost under ensuring the security of users. In this paper, an anonymous and traceable data sharing scheme is presented. The proposed scheme can protect the privacy of the user. In addition, the proposed scheme also can trace the user uploading irrelevant information. Security and performance analyses show that the data sharing scheme is secure and effective.\nSecret key generation based on channel characteristics is an effective physical-layer security method for 5G wireless networks. The issues of how to ensure the high key generation rate and correlation of the secret key under active attack are needed to be addressed. In this paper, a new practical secret key generation scheme with high rate and correlation is proposed. In our proposed scheme, Alice and Bob transmit independent random sequences instead of known training sequences or probing signals; neither Alice nor Bob can decode these random sequences or estimate the channel. User's random sequences together with the channel effects are used as common random source to generate the secret key. With this solution, legitimate users are able to share secret keys with sufficient length and high security under active attack. We evaluate the proposed scheme through both analytic and simulation studies. The results show that our proposed scheme achieves high key generation rate and key security, and is suitable for 5G wireless networks with resource-constrained devices.\nThis paper presents a practical side-channel attack that identifies the social web service account of a visitor to an attacker's website. Our attack leverages the widely adopted user-blocking mechanism, abusing its inherent property that certain pages return different web content depending on whether a user is blocked from another user. Our key insight is that an account prepared by an attacker can hold an attacker-controllable binary state of blocking/non-blocking with respect to an arbitrary user on the same service; provided that the user is logged in to the service, this state can be retrieved as one-bit data through the conventional cross-site timing attack when a user visits the attacker's website. We generalize and refer to such a property as visibility control, which we consider as the fundamental assumption of our attack. Building on this primitive, we show that an attacker with a set of controlled accounts can gain a complete and flexible control over the data leaked through the side channel. Using this mechanism, we show that it is possible to design and implement a robust, large-scale user identification attack on a wide variety of social web services. To verify the feasibility of our attack, we perform an extensive empirical study using 16 popular social web services and demonstrate that at least 12 of these are vulnerable to our attack. Vulnerable services include not only popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, but also other types of web services that provide social features, e.g., eBay and Xbox Live. We also demonstrate that the attack can achieve nearly 100% accuracy and can finish within a sufficiently short time in a practical setting. We discuss the fundamental principles, practical aspects, and limitations of the attack as well as possible defenses. We have successfully addressed this attack by collaborative working with service providers and browser vendors.\nThe requirement of safety, roadway capacity and efficiency in the vehicular network, which makes vehicular platoons concept continue to be of interest. For the authentication in vehicular platoons, efficiency and cooperation are the two most important things. Cooperative authentication is a way to recognize false identities and messages as well as saving resources. However, taking part in cooperative authentication makes the vehicle more vulnerable to privacy leakage which is commonly done by location tracking. Moreover, vehicles consume their resources when cooperating with others during the process of cooperation authentication. These two significant factors cause selfish behaviors of the vehicles not to participate in cooperate cooperation actively. In this paper, an infinitely repeated game for cooperative authentication in vehicular platoons is proposed to help analyze the utility of all nodes and point out the weakness of the current collaborative authentication protocol. To deal with this weakness, we also devised an enhanced cooperative authentication protocol based on mechanisms which makes it easier for vehicles to stay in the cooperate strategy rather than tend to selfish behavior. Meanwhile, our protocol can defense insider attacks..\nRFID enable applications are ubiquitous in our society, especially become more and more important as IoT management rises. Meanwhile, the concern of security and privacy of RFID is also increasing. The pseudorandom number generator is one of the core primitives to implement RFID security. Therefore, it is necessary to design and implement a secure and robust pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) for current RFID tag. In this paper, we study the security of light-weight PRNGs for EPC Gen2 RFID tag which is an EPC Global standard. For this reason, we have analyzed and improved the existing research at IEEE TrustCom 2017 and proposed a model using external random numbers. However, because the previous model uses external random numbers, the speed has a problem depending on the generation speed of external random numbers. In order to solve this problem, we developed a pseudorandom number generator that does not use external random numbers. This model consists of LFSR, NLFSR and SLFSR. Safety is achieved by using nonlinear processing such as multiplication and logical multiplication on the Galois field. The cycle achieves a cycle longer than the key length by effectively combining a plurality of LFSR and the like. We show that our proposal PRNG has good randomness and passed the NIST randomness test. We also shows that it is resistant to identification attacks and GD attacks.\nTime-sequence data is high dimensional and contains a lot of information, which can be utilized in various fields, such as insurance, finance, and advertising. Personal data including time-sequence data is converted to anonymized datasets, which need to strike a balance between both privacy and utility. In this paper, we consider low-rank matrix factorization as one of anonymization methods and evaluate its efficiency. We convert time-sequence datasets to matrices and evaluate both privacy and utility. The record IDs in time-sequence data are changed at regular intervals to reduce re-identification risk. However, since individuals tend to behave in a similar fashion over periods of time, there remains a risk of record linkage even if record IDs are different. Hence, we evaluate the re-identification and linkage risks as privacy risks of time-sequence data. Our experimental results show that matrix factorization is a viable anonymization method and it can achieve better utility than existing anonymization methods.\nThe conventional linear or tiled address maps can degrade performance and memory utilization when traffic patterns are not matched with an underlying address map. The address map is usually fixed at design time. Accordingly, it is difficult to adapt to given applications. Modern embedded system usually accommodates memory management units (MMUs). As a result, depending on virtual address patterns, the system can suffer from performance overheads due to page table walks. To alleviate this performance overhead, we propose to cluster and rearrange tiles to construct an MMU-aware configurable address map. To construct the clustered tiled map, the generic tile number remapping algorithm is presented. In the presented scheme, an address map is configured based on the adaptive dimensioning algorithm. Considering image processing applications, a design, an analysis, an implementation, and simulations are conducted. The results indicate the proposed method can improve the performance and the memory utilization with moderate hardware costs.\nIn Stochastic Computing (SC), we need to generate many stochastic numbers (SNs). If we generate one SN conventionally, we need a Stochastic Number Generator (SNG) which consists of a linear-feedback shift register (LFSR) and a comparator. When we calculate an arithmetic function by SC, we need to generate many SNs whose values are equal to constant values used in the arithmetic function. As a consequence, the hardware overhead becomes huge. Accordingly, there has been proposed a method called GMCS (Generating Many Constant SNs from Few SNs) to generate many constant SNs with low hardware overhead. However, if we use GMCS simply, generated constant SNs are correlated highly with each other. This would be a serious problem because the high correlation of SNs make a large error in computation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose efficient methods to generate constant SNs with reasonably low hardware overhead without increasing errors. To reduce the correlations of constant SNs which are generated by GMCS, we use Register based Re-arrangement circuit using a Random bit stream duplicator (RRRD). RRRDs have few influences on the hardware overhead because an RRRD consists of three multiplexers (MUXs) and two 1-bit FFs. We also use a technique to share random number generators with several SNGs to reduce the hardware overhead. We provide some experimental results by which we can confirm that our proposed methods are in general very useful to reduce the hardware overhead for generating constant SNs without increasing errors.\nNear real-time periodic tasks, which are popular in multimedia streaming applications, have deadline periods that are longer than the input intervals thanks to buffering. For such applications, the conventional frame-based schedulings cannot realize the optimal scheduling due to their shortsighted deadline assumptions. To realize globally energy-efficient executions of these applications, we propose a novel task scheduling algorithm, which takes advantage of the long deadline period. We confirm our approach can take advantage of the longer deadline period and reduce the average power consumption by up to 18%.\nA key driver of software business growth in developing countries is the survival of software small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Quality of products is a critical factor that can indicate the future of the business by building customer confidence. Software development agencies need to be aware of meeting international standards in software development process. In practice, consultants and assessors are usually employed as the primary solution, which can impact the budget in case of small businesses. Self-assessment tools for software development process can potentially reduce time and cost of formal assessment for software SMEs. However, the existing support methods and tools are largely insufficient in terms of process coverage and semi-automated evaluation. This paper proposes to apply a knowledge-based approach in development of a self-assessment and gap analysis support system for the ISO/IEC 29110 standard. The approach has an advantage that insights from domain experts and the standard are captured in the knowledge base in form of decision tables that can be flexibly managed. Our knowledge base is unique in that task lists and work products defined in the standard are broken down into task and work product characteristics, respectively. Their relation provides the links between Task List and Work Product which make users more understand and influence self-assessment. A prototype support system was developed to assess the level of software development capability of the agencies based on the ISO/IEC 29110 standard. A preliminary evaluation study showed that the system can improve performance of users who are inexperienced in applying ISO/IEC 29110 standard in terms of task coverage and user's time and effort compared to the traditional self-assessment method.\nThis paper proposes a release-aware bug triaging method that aims to increase the number of bugs that developers can fix by the next release date during open-source software development. A variety of methods have been proposed for recommending appropriate developers for particular bug-fixing tasks, but since these approaches only consider the developers' ability to fix the bug, they tend to assign many of the bugs to a small number of the project's developers. Since projects generally have a release schedule, even excellent developers cannot fix all the bugs that are assigned to them by the existing methods. The proposed method places an upper limit on the number of tasks which are assigned to each developer during a given period, in addition to considering the ability of developers. Our method regards the bug assignment problem as a multiple knapsack problem, finding the best combination of bugs and developers. The best combination is one that maximizes the efficiency of the project, while meeting the constraint where it can only assign as many bugs as the developers can fix during a given period. We conduct the case study, applying our method to bug reports from Mozilla Firefox, Eclipse Platform and GNU compiler collection (GCC). We find that our method has the following properties: (1) it can prevent the bug-fixing load from being concentrated on a small number of developers; (2) compared with the existing methods, the proposed method can assign a more appropriate amount of bugs that each developer can fix by the next release date; (3) it can reduce the time taken to fix bugs by 35%-41%, compared with manual bug triaging; (called “prediction value”) for any input value (called “attribute value”). Accordingly, when a DTEM is used in regard to a system that requires reliability, it is important to comprehensively detect attribute values that lead to malfunctions of a system (failures) during development and take appropriate countermeasures. One conceivable solution is to install an input filter that controls the input to the DTEM and to use separate software to process attribute values that may lead to failures. To develop the input filter, it is necessary to specify the filtering condition for the attribute value that leads to the malfunction of the system. In consideration of that necessity, we propose a method for formally verifying a DTEM and, according to the result of the verification, if an attribute value leading to a failure is found, extracting the range in which such an attribute value exists. The proposed method can comprehensively extract the range in which the attribute value leading to the failure exists; therefore, by creating an input filter based on that range, it is possible to prevent the failure. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method, we performed a case study using a dataset of house prices. Through the case study, we also evaluated its scalability and it is shown that the number and depth of decision trees are important factors that determines the applicability of the proposed method..\nInterpretability has become an important issue in the machine learning field, along with the success of layered neural networks in various practical tasks. Since a trained layered neural network consists of a complex nonlinear relationship between large number of parameters, we failed to understand how they could achieve input-output mappings with a given data set. In this paper, we propose the non-negative task matrix decomposition method, which applies non-negative matrix factorization to a trained layered neural network. This enables us to decompose the inference mechanism of a trained layered neural network into multiple principal tasks of input-output mapping, and reveal the roles of hidden units in terms of their contribution to each principal task.\nWith the recent advances in e-commerce, it has become important to recommend not only mass-produced daily items, such as books, but also items that are not mass-produced. In this study, we present an algorithm for real estate recommendations. Automatic property recommendations are a highly difficult task because no identical properties exist in the world, occupied properties cannot be recommended, and users rent or buy properties only a few times in their lives. For the first step of property recommendation, we predict users' preferences for properties by combining content-based filtering and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). In the MLP, we use not only attribute data of users and properties, but also deep features extracted from property floor plan images. As a result, we successfully predict users' preference with a Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.166.\nAs deep learning-based speech recognition systems are spotlighted, the need for large-scale speech databases for acoustic model training is increasing. Broadcast data can be easily used for database construction, since it contains transcripts for the hearing impaired. However, the subtitle timestamps have not been used to extract speech data because they are often inaccurate due to the inherent characteristics of closed captioning. Thus, we propose to build a large-scale speech database from multi-genre broadcast data with inaccurate subtitle timestamps. The proposed method first extracts the most likely speech intervals by removing subtitle texts with low subtitle quality index, concatenating adjacent subtitle texts into a merged subtitle text, and adding a margin to the timestamp of the merged subtitle text. Next, a speech recognizer is used to extract a hypothesis text of a speech segment corresponding to the merged subtitle text, and then the hypothesis text obtained from the decoder is recursively aligned with the merged subtitle text. Finally, the speech database is constructed by selecting the sub-parts of the merged subtitle text that match the hypothesis text. Our method successfully refines a large amount of broadcast data with inaccurate subtitle timestamps, taking about half of the time compared with the previous methods. Consequently, our method is useful for broadcast data processing, where bulk speech data can be collected every hour.\nIn many real application scenarios of image segmentation problems involving limited and low-quality data, employing prior information can significantly improve the segmentation result. For example, the shape of the object is a kind of common prior information. In this paper, we introduced a new kind of prior information, which is named by prior distribution. On the basis of nonparametric statistical active contour model, we proposed a novel distribution prior model. Unlike traditional shape prior model, our model is not sensitive to the shapes of object boundary. Using the intensity distribution of objects and backgrounds as prior information can simplify the process of establishing and solving the model. The idea of constructing our energy function is as follows. During the contour curve convergence, while maximizing distribution difference between the inside and outside of the active contour, the distribution difference between the inside/outside of contour and the prior object/background is minimized. We present experimental results on a variety of synthetic and natural images. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method that with the information of prior distribution, the segmentation effect and speed can be both improved efficaciously.\nArgumentation is a process of reaching a consensus through premises and rebuttals. If an artificial dialogue system can perform argumentation, it can improve users' decisions and ability to negotiate with the others. Previously, researchers have studied argumentative dialogue systems through a structured database regarding argumentation structure and evaluated the logical consistency of the dialogue. However, these systems could not change its response based on the user's agreement or disagreement to its last utterance. Furthermore, the persuasiveness of the generated dialogue has not been evaluated. In this study, a method is proposed to generate persuasive arguments through a hierarchical argumentation structure that considers human agreement and disagreement. Persuasiveness is evaluated through a crowd sourcing platform wherein participants' written impressions of shown dialogue texts are scored via a third person Likert scale evaluation. The proposed method was compared to the baseline method wherein argument response texts were generated without consideration of the user's agreement or disagreement. Experiment results suggest that the proposed method can generate a more persuasive dialogue than the baseline method. Further analysis implied that perceived persuasiveness was induced by evaluations of the behavior of the dialogue system, which was inherent in the hierarchical argumentation structure.\nRecurrent Neural Network (RNN) has achieved many state-of-the-art performances on various complex tasks related to the temporal and sequential data. But most of these RNNs require much computational power and a huge number of parameters for both training and inference stage. Several tensor decomposition methods are included such as CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP), Tucker decomposition and Tensor Train (TT) to re-parameterize the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) RNN. First, we evaluate all tensor-based RNNs performance on sequence modeling tasks with a various number of parameters. Based on our experiment results, TT-GRU achieved the best results in a various number of parameters compared to other decomposition methods. Later, we evaluate our proposed TT-GRU with speech recognition task. We compressed the bidirectional GRU layers inside DeepSpeech2 architecture. Based on our experiment result, our proposed TT-format GRU are able to preserve the performance while reducing the number of GRU parameters significantly compared to the uncompressed GRU.\nIn this work, we present one novel rust detection method based upon one-class classification and L2 sparse representation (SR) with decision fusion. Firstly, a new color contrast descriptor is proposed for extracting the rust features of steel structure images. Considering that the patterns of rust features are more simplified than those of non-rust ones, one-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier and L2 SR classifier are designed with these rust image features, respectively. After that, a multiplicative fusion rule is advocated for combining the one-class SVM and L2 SR modules, thereby achieving more accurate rust detecting results. In the experiments, we conduct numerous experiments, and when compared with other developed rust detectors, the presented method can offer better rust detecting performances.\nThreat object recognition in x-ray security images is one of the important practical applications of computer vision. However, research in this field has been limited by the lack of available dataset that would mirror the practical setting for such applications. In this paper, we present a novel GAN-based anomaly detection (GBAD) approach as a solution to the extreme class-imbalance problem in multi-label classification. This method helps in suppressing the surge in false positives induced by training a CNN on a non-practical dataset. We evaluate our method on a large-scale x-ray image database to closely emulate practical scenarios in port security inspection systems. Experiments demonstrate improvement against the existing algorithm.\nIn this letter, we propose a novel deep domain-adaptive convolutional neural network (DDACNN) model to handle the challenging cross-corpus speech emotion recognition (SER) problem. The framework of the DDACNN model consists of two components: a feature extraction model based on a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) and a domain-adaptive (DA) layer added in the DCNN utilizing the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) criterion. We use labeled spectrograms from source speech corpus combined with unlabeled spectrograms from target speech corpus as the input of two classic DCNNs to extract the emotional features of speech, and train the model with a special mixed loss combined with a cross-entrophy loss and an MMD loss. Compared to other classic cross-corpus SER methods, the major advantage of the DDACNN model is that it can extract robust speech features which are time-frequency related by spectrograms and narrow the discrepancies between feature distribution of source corpus and target corpus to get better cross-corpus performance. Through several cross-corpus SER experiments, our DDACNN achieved the state-of-the-art performance on three public emotion speech corpora and is proved to handle the cross-corpus SER problem efficiently.\nUnder the framework of traditional power spectrum based feature extraction, in order to extract more discriminative information for playback attack detection, this paper proposes a feature by making use of deep neural network to describe the nonlinear relationship between power spectrum and discriminative information. Namely, constant-Q deep coefficients (CQDC). It relies on constant-Q transform, deep neural network and discrete cosine transform. In which, constant-Q transform is used to convert signal from the time domain into the frequency domain because it is a long-term transform that can provide more frequency detail, deep neural network is used to extract more discriminative information to discriminate playback speech from genuine speech and discrete cosine transform is used to decorrelate among the feature dimensions. ASVspoof 2017 corpus version 2.0 is used to evaluate the performance of CQDC. The experimental results show that CQDC outperforms the existing power spectrum obtained from constant-Q transform based features, and equal error can reduce from 19.18% to 51.56%. In addition, we found that discriminative information of CQDC hides in all frequency bins, which is different from commonly used features.\nCross-component linear model (CCLM) has been recently adopted as a chroma intra-prediction tool in Versatile Video Coding (VVC), which is being developed as a new video coding standard. CCLM predicts chroma components from luma components through a linear model based on assumption of linear correlation between both components. A linear model is derived from the reconstructed neighboring luma and chroma samples of the current coding block by linear regression. A simplified linear modeling method recently adopted in the test model of VVC (VTM) 3.0 significantly reduces computational complexity of deriving model parameters with considerable coding loss. This letter proposes a method of linear modeling to compensate the coding loss of the simplified linear model. In the proposed method, the model parameters which are quite roughly derived in the existing simplified linear model are refined more accurately using individual method to derive each parameter. Experimental results show that, compared to VTM 3.0, the proposed method gives 0.08%, 0.52% and 0.55% Bjotegaard-Delta (BD)-rate savings, for Y, Cb and Cr components, respectively, in the All-Intra (AI) configuration with negligible computational complexity increase.\nThe emerging Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard currently adopts Triangular Partitioning Mode (TPM) to make more flexible inter prediction. Due to the motion search and motion storage for TPM, the complexity of the encoder and decoder is significantly increased. This letter proposes two simplifications of TPM for reducing the complexity of the current design. One simplification is to reduce the number of combinations of motion vectors for both partitions to be checked. The method gives 4% encoding time decrease with negligible BD-rate loss. Another one is to remove the reference picture remapping process in the motion vector storage of TPM. It reduces the complexity of the encoder and decoder without a BD-rate change for the random-access configuration.\nTea sprouts segmentation via machine vision is the core technology of tea automatic picking. A novel method for Tea Sprouts Segmentation based on improved deep convolutional encoder-decoder Network (TS-SegNet) is proposed in this paper. In order to increase the segmentation accuracy and stability, the improvement is carried out by a contrastive-center loss function and skip connections. Therefore, the intra-class compactness and inter-class separability are comprehensively utilized, and the TS-SegNet can obtain more discriminative tea sprouts features. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method leads to good segmentation results, and the segmented tea sprouts are almost coincident with the ground truth."}

It then became clear to them that there were many cities like this, and that this was just the beginning of their mission as Ancient Explorers. Message from the founders : Amish Shah: My fascination with ancient civilizations, lost cities and the exotic locales in encyclopedia Britannica started when I was a child growing up in my small suburban town in New Jersey. I longed for the freedom to explore the most far-off corners of the planet, but not as your average digicam-packing Joe Tourist! What I wanted was nothing less than to dig up the wisdom, stories and treasures buried by the sands of time. Because something has always told me, even before I could legally board a flight on my own, that our past holds the key to overcoming the challenges of our present and future. This for me has always been about more than just simple childhood curiosity. It’s what I was meant to do with my life. Puja Shah: It came to me as a young girl, often, the way I felt at peace inside when I’d touch ancient stone walls at the temple near my aunt’s home in India, the way it felt like I was connected to something… something greater than my existence… like a link of old and new, of rich and poor. It was the link I felt that needed to be threaded into everything. One that could really only be explained with the eyes and the heart. One that I knew, even back then, that I needed to explore. Ancient Explorers is a community of people that understand the importance of finding the truths of the oldest lost civilizations and the value of these historical links between then and now… in order to ultimately help us move forward powerfully as a society, as a people, and as a global community. Ancient Explorers is proudly part of the global movement and collective network known as Deep Origins. Deep Origins and it's network of sites create transformational content and communities around timeless ancient wisdom...to see mankind evolve and thrive in pure potentiality."}

{"text": "The formation of Ukrainian cuisine\nUkrainian cuisine was formed by the middle of the 18th century. Ukrainian national recipes were significantly influenced by neighboring Polish and Belorussian cuisines.\nSuch a late formation is related to the late formation of present Ukrainian ethnos. Old Russian cuisine impact on Ukraine is hardly observed as a result of Tatar-Mongol invasions, when the connection was lost for a considerable period of time.\nUkrainian cuisine enjoys honored popularity among other Slavic. Many dishes like vareniki and borsch are now considered as international.\nPresent Ukrainian cuisine traditions were formed in the 19th century. Today, we can see some specific distinctions between cuisines of Volyn, Poltavschina, Zakarpatye and Bukovyna regions. Thus Ukrainian cuisine is united by several common principles of choosing food and cooking.\nThe cuisine of Ukraine has also imbibed some traits of German, Hungarian, Turkish and Tatar. For example, the father of well-known vareniki is Turkish dish dyush-var. Ukrainians borrowed German technique of meat chopping and Ukrainians call it farce.\nUkrainian Borsch\nUkrainian Vareniki\n"}

{"text": "Kāvya\nIntroduction\n“Kāvya” is a Sanskrit term used to designate poetry variously characterized as classical, ornate, courtly, or stylized. To be sure, kavya usually involves erudition and elegance, but a poet (kavi) might equally spurn the many available conventions to create a work for simpler tastes. India’s critics debated how to define kavya for over a millennium. Its simplest formulation is sound and sense combined, or “the output of poets.” However, connoisseurs have long understood it as something more elegant, more crafted than gnomic, didactic, or narrative versification—so much so that the prestige of kavya extended even to those who wrote technical treatises in the exact sciences. This article covers works in Sanskrit with brief references to the related literatures in the Prākrits, old Tamil, Apabhraṃśa, and the various literary precursors to India’s modern languages.\nIntroductory Works\nA variety of brief introductions exists, including introductions to individual works and sections of larger works—mostly histories of Sanskrit literature. These invariably focus on particular poets and periods as representative. The introductions to Brough 1968 and Ingalls 1965 explain what distinguishes kavya from other Indian literary genres and give general readers an idea of why the form is so enduring. Dimock, et al. 1974 presents a critical introduction to Indian literature; the seven themes provide a good entrée to the ways that kavya has influenced certain genres of the premodern vernaculars. De 1959 continues to be a stimulating point of departure relevant for understanding those who target the author’s opinions and conclusions. Ramanujan 1967, a collection of translations from a classical Tamil anthology, offers an important counterpoint from a contemporaneous Indian tradition of refined poetry.\nBrough, John, ed. and trans. Poems from the Sanskrit. Harmondsworth, UK: Penguin, 1968.\nThe introduction to this short book is an excellent survey of how kavya conveys its beauty. Brough provides some fine examples of the difficulties of translating this literature while also pointing out some successful strategies.\nDe, S. K. Aspects of Sanskrit Literature. Calcutta: Firma KLM, 1959.\nWritten as a supplement to De’s much larger History of Sanskrit Literature (Calcutta: University of Calcutta, 1947), this collection of often opinionated essays represents the mature considerations of a fine scholar published over a thirty-year span. Some of De’s harsher critiques have been targeted for revision by late-20th- and early-21st-century scholars.\nDimock, Edward C., Edwin Gerow, C. M. Naim, A. K. Ramanujan, G. Roadarmel, and J. van Buitenen. The Literatures of India: An Introduction. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1974.\nAn excellent guide for general readers. Owing to its emphasis on classical and medieval literatures, this collaborative effort provides a disproportionate measure of material relating to kavya. Gerow and Ramanujan treat the poetics of kavya literature in Sanskrit, Tamil, and Kannada.\nIngalls, Daniel H. H., ed. and trans. Vidyākara’s “Subhāṣitaratnakośa”: An Anthology of Sanskrit Court Poetry. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1965.\nA widely read anthology collected not by Ingalls but by Vidyāpati, an 11th-century Bengali poet and anthologist. The introduction to this ancient anthology of nearly two thousand poems is extremely valuable for its sensitive treatment of the elaborate conventions of kavya, the poetics that inform it, and the cultural contexts that make it intelligible.\nRamanujan, A. K. The Interior Landscape: Love Poems from a Classical Tamil Anthology. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1967.\nThe afterword of this short book constitutes a concise yet complete description of classical Tamil poetry, including a sophisticated synopsis of the “five landscapes.” The beauty and refinement of these seventy-six poems constitute an implicit challenge to the idea of kavya as a uniquely Sanskritic achievement.\nLAST MODIFIED: 01/27/2011\nDOI: 10.1093/OBO/9780195399318"}

{"text": "Shadow Environment Secretary and city MP host coastal community summit\nShadow Environment Secretary Sue Hayman and City MP Stephen Morgan hold a summit in Portsmouth on the challenges faced by coastal communities.\nFollowing an invitation from Mr Morgan, the Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment spent the day seeing first-hand some of the issues Portsmouth communities are facing.\nThe pair hosted a roundtable discussion with local business leaders, community groups and other stakeholders to address the challenges faced by coastal communities like Portsmouth. Issues like the link between better transport services, social isolation and the decline of the high street were raised, along with how local groups can work together to improve community cohesion.\nThe meeting comes a day after Mr. Morgan asked the Prime Minister what efforts her government would make to ensure that the high street is supported so that further tragic losses of much-cherished stores like Knight & Lee can be avoided.\nStephen Morgan MP said:\n“Coastal communities like Portsmouth are facing tough challenges in keeping local high streets alive.\n“For many, buses are an essential life line that links them and the rest of the community. For others, they provide a means to reach medical services and shops. And with the imminent closure of the Knight & Lee store, which has been here since 1865, we need integrated travel now more than ever”\nLabour has set out a 5-point plan to combat the decline of the high street in an attempt to avoid future scenarios like the closure of the much -cherished Knight & Lee store. The plan includes; free travel for under 25’s, a strategy for keeping bank branches open, free public Wi-Fi, a ban on ATM charges and significantly, a reassessment of business rates.\nMr Morgan goes on to say:\n“I will ensure that the key themes that emerged from the roundtable will feed into my discussions in Parliament, including the need for sustainable investments in our city and more ambitious leadership from the council.”\n“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Shadow Secretary of state for coming down to Portsmouth and to all those who contributed to these discussions. Receiving feedback from those in my constituency is vital to my work in Westminster. I will be taking this information back with me to Parliament.”"}
