Superlative food reflects the motto of eat local, feel global.
Located off the lobby of the JW Marriott, six.one.six chefs use seasonal, area products in fusions of Asian, French and American foods. It's a melding of some of the world's best flavors. The Rhodes farms duck confit salad ($10) consists of a base of arugula slightly wilted from the heat of perfectly crispy duck leg. A sprinkle of marcona almonds gave flavorful crunch; a smear of citrus vinaigrette and cherry conserves had just enough fruit tang to balance the rich duck and earthy greens. The Dancing Goat gnudi ($25) -- a gnocchi-like combo of cheeses -- avoided any danger of blandness with a light searing that kept insides creamy and fluffy. Served on a bed of spinach, braised artichokes, basil-ramp pesto, morels and pine nuts, each bite was perfect balance of smooth textures and mellow flavors. Entrees run $24-34, starters $6-12, shared plates $9-12, desserts $7, scoops of gelato or sorbets (honey-lavender, pomegranate-black cherry) $3. To-the-ceiling drapes of wide stripes of browns subtly contrast with the neutral walls and woods of the flooring and seating. You can sit at a table overlooking the bartenders' garden and Grand River or the dimly lit interior room. Or sit at the chef's table, a granite-topped bar lined with 11 padded chairs that looks over the wood-fired oven prep area. There you can watch busy sous chefs plate and fire appetizers, flatbreads and salads. A morning breakfast buffet costs $15 and includes made-to-order omelets, Belgian waffles, quiche, plum and apricot coffee cake and loads of fresh fruit. Adjacent to six.one.six is the bar Mixology, where bartenders serve drinks they invent using cuttings from their herb garden, which can be seen from the dining room. The Love to Cha-Cha sangria ($10) is a refreshing mix of basil-infused Moscato, Cointreau, orange juice and grapefruit juice.

HIGH POINT, N.C. -- A High Point woman hit by a car while using a motorized wheelchair to get to the grocery store Saturday will not be blamed for the wreck.
Janet Wade and her daughter were both sent to the hospital after the crash. Not long after that, a police officer investigating the wreck on Westchester Drive and Evergreen Avenue wrote Wade a ticket for not using a crosswalk.
"I could have lost my life," said Wade. "I could have lost my daughter. Would that have made me still wrong?"
Wade wrote a letter to the mayor's office complaining about the ticket. That prompted a second look by the High Point Police Department.
"Any time you don't think an officer got it right or question what we do you should contact the police department and ask them to relook at it," said Chief Marty Sumner.
Sumner said by reconstructing the accident and finding a new photograph of Wade right before the crash police determined Wade did have the right of way.
"The report will be corrected to reflect what we've now found she'll be getting a copy of the new report," said Sumner. "There will be no charges against her."
Sumner said even without a crosswalk, Wade was crossing Westchester close enough to an intersection to be protected by the law.
He said a safer alternative is to find an intersection with a traffic light on it to cross the road.
"She could have crossed at the light, she would have gone a little bit out of her way but I'd say if studies show a lot of pedestrians cross right there then that's something the city could look at to put in some additional safety measures," said Sumner.
At this point, Sumner said there isn't enough public demand for a traffic study to evaluate the need for a crosswalk in that area.


The MQQ cylinder is a compact, low friction cylinder designed for low pressure, low speed, uniform speed or low friction applications. MQQ is available as standard or a lateral load resisting type (with built-in ball bushings). Bore sizes range from 10mm to 28mm and strokes are available up to 100mm.
Series MQM is a lateral load resisting, low friction, compact cylinder for low to high speeds. The metal seal construction with low operating resistance allows actuation in speed and output control ranges that are impossible for ordinary cylinders. The MQM offers long life expectancy of 10,000km or 100 million full cycles.
Semiconductor and electronic component manufactures looking for a single acting, low friction, air operated thrust cylinder, now have an award winning solution, following the launch of Series MQP, from the world´s leading factory automation experts, SMC.With their unique piston free construction, the MQP´s sliding resistance has been dramatically reduced resulting in outstanding, low friction, yet precise force performance.Available in five bore sizes from 4 to 20 mm, and with a wide range of thrust forces, these latest metal seal actuators have been specially designed to overcome the problems of both lurching and stick slip, which make delicate and precise linear control virtually impossible.Additional benefits when using these new cylinders focus on ease of maintenance and because of very small thrust variations between each actuator model, they are easily replaced without the need to constantly re-adjust the pressure circuit. So if you´re looking for a Star Wars solution, may the MQP be with you!

It was in 1984 when my journey has begun. My life happens on a blue-green globe in the midst of deep black infinity. “Life” can be a fascinating feeling. The pure feeling of breathing for example – to feel air pouring into your lungs – can be a wonderful moment. I am happy about the fact that there is so much to see and so much to learn out there. Particularly I like the thought that we are so many. We call us “human beings”. And no one equals the other one.
In the society of human beings I am a computer engineer. I work in the fields of microelectronics and safety-critical real-time systems. Electronics and digital data processing as well as the flow of information which is based upon them form some kind of nervous system for the human-machine-organism. Being concerned with routing bits and bytes to the right place at the right time for processing it meaningfully(!) is a task I am very motivated to work on.
However, a much bigger part of my heart is with the wealth of this planet Earth, as we call it. Earth is so incredibly fascinating that I am sad about how our species treats it. And about the way we sometimes treat each other, especially that our(!) economic and social systems don’t function for everybody, yet.
That is why I am intent to change that situation into something better. To join the debates. To think. To suggest solutions.
One of my most important projects is the Global Society Blog. Everybody is invited to join us.
Apart of that I enjoy to create movies and photos, sometimes graphics and drawings. Choirs and orchestras supply me with goosebumbs moments. Of course I prefer to sing and play with them. Sometimes I write poems, too. I like simplicity, elegance and esthetics as long as they aren’t affected. Because openness is more important than masks worn much too often in our society predicting to be something else.
However, some silhouettes of my journey can be found on this virtual place of sharing. Hopefully, you’ll find something that pleases, inspires or helps you.
By the way, I hope to translate some of my articles into the English language. If this the case, this part is marked with a Union Jack.

Dangerous behaviors common among alcoholics include impaired judgment and coordination, falling asleep at the wheel, falling asleep with lit cigarettes, aggressive outbursts, drinking to the point of vomiting, hangover, or alcohol poisoning — and these are just the ones most alcoholics experience in the course of their disease. All of these behaviors will eventually hit the system, in the form of health care costs, criminal justice costs, motor vehicle crash costs, and workplace productivity
Advances in medical research have given addiction specialists new insight into the treatment of alcoholism. However, the Morbidity and Morality Weekly Report states that alcohol abuse remains the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States, despite innovations in behavioral health modification, psychotherapy, and addiction medication. The following studies and statistics reflect the power of this disease: The best Free Top rated drug rehab treatment centers
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) once referred to substance abuse and substance dependence as diagnostic terms. However, in the updated fifth edition (DSM-5), these terms are replaced by the singular substance use disorder, which is broken into mild, moderate and severe to refer to the physical and mental impairments through recurrent substance use.
Outpatient drug rehab provides patients with a more loosely defined schedule. This form of treatment allows patients to stay with their support system at home and maintain a limited presence at work or school. Both options offer patients a different range of therapeutic options and counseling with the goal of maintained abstinence and long-term recovery.
Group, individual, and can help to address the root causes of addiction and build communication and life skills that are necessary to live a sober life. Group therapy and family therapy provide a means to talk openly and honestly about your addiction and gain support from other in recovery, parents, siblings and adult children. One-on-one talk therapy provides the opportunity to more deeply explore underlying issues and trauma in a private setting.
When it’s time to take action, finding the right drug rehab facility can become a daunting task. Most people turn to the internet with search engine inquiries like “rehab centers near me” or “local drug rehab.” Finding a center close by can be helpful, but your search may also offer results for programs that require travel. Inpatient drug rehab centers away from home can offer more opportunities for healing in a new environment.
At this stage, you will have developed a problem with alcohol and will be drinking out of habit than choice. Your use may be starting to have an impact on other aspects of your life and you might be noticing problems with your moods and sleeping patterns. Nevertheless, you are probably still at the stage where you are enjoying alcohol and believe that it is making your life better.

As important as evidence-based psychotherapy is for our addiction treatment program, it can’t be the only activity at Searidge Foundation. We schedule a wide variety of alternative therapies that help reinforce the more clinical drug rehab treatments and keep each day spent with us interesting and rewarding. This program includes Yoga, meditation, mindfulness meditation, acupuncture, Tai Chi, relaxation therapy, creative art therapy and Native healing rituals. These activities help renew the body, the mind, and the soul. And while these practices cannot cure you of a drug addiction, they can empower you with a healthy and entirely individual strength and spirit that will help you cope with life’s daily stresses and anxieties in a helpful constructive manner, rather than self medicating with drugs or alcohol.
Different rehabs are based upon different philosophies, and this can mean the enhancement of addiction treatment with distinct specialized services. For example, a religious rehab may include worship services or religion classes and other offerings that enhance the spiritual side of recovery while a holistic alcohol rehab may include yoga, meditation, acupuncture and other alternative methods of treatment.

Detox is not the expulsion of ‘toxins’ from your system, but a reaction of your nervous system to the absence of alcohol. Withdrawal from alcohol and its sedative effects results in an overreaction of the nervous system. A number of severe symptoms can develop, such as disorientation, extreme anxiety, diarrhoea, very high blood pressure, delusions, heart rhythm changes etc. This is very dangerous if not supervised and monitored by personnel experienced in addiction recovery treatment. These symptoms can now be controlled in a safe way through proper medical attention and pharmacotherapy during the detox period. Our clinical staff has extensive experience dealing with alcohol detox and conducts the process in as much safety and as comforting an environment as possible. This is a vast improvement from a time before modern medicine when there was a death rate of 33% for those going through severe alcohol withdrawal.

Once used as a diagnostic label, substance abuse typically refers to behavioral patterns of drug use that involve impairment and physical and mental distress. Some people may use the term “drug abuse” to reference a marked physical and mental dependence on drugs. Today, drug abuse typically refers to misusing substances, not necessarily being addicted to them. However, drug abuse can often lead to a physical dependence or addiction associated with a focus on obtaining and using drugs and severe withdrawal symptoms.
To find a rehab center near you, you can start your search with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Use their Directory of Single State Agencies for Substance Abuse Services to find the local resource to contact in your state. Be prepared to verify your income, whether you have any insurance, and any need for financial support before you can enroll.
According to the results of a survey published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, approximately 2.6 percent of American adults meet the criteria for drug dependence and drug addiction. Globally, the figure is similar; the World Health Organization estimates that nearly 3 percent of adults around the world suffer from a drug use disorder. At first glance, these numbers may seem small. However, these statistics do not reflect the number of people who have tried illicit drugs, or who have abused illicit substances or prescription medications. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that almost 10 percent of American adults have tried illicit drugs. Anyone who uses drugs recreationally or experimentally is at risk of developing dependence and drug addiction. Clearbrook Manor - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center
It’s rare for people with alcoholism to strive for that diagnosis. No one grows up wanting to struggle with alcohol for the rest of life. But alcoholism can be sneaky, creeping into life in ways that are subtle and that can pass by unnoticed. For some, alcoholism begins with peer pressure. These people just don’t intend to start drinking, and they may not begin life even enjoying alcohol, but their peers prompt and poke them to drink alcohol. In time, as they comply with these requests from peers, they lose the ability to control how and when they drink.
Within the framework of the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), substance dependence is redefined as a drug addiction, and can be diagnosed without the occurrence of a withdrawal syndrome. It was described accordingly: "When an individual persists in use of alcohol or other drugs despite problems related to use of the substance, substance dependence may be diagnosed. Compulsive and repetitive use may result in tolerance to the effect of the drug and withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. This, along with Substance Abuse are considered Substance Use Disorders." In the DSM-5 (released in 2013), substance abuse and substance dependence have been merged into the category of substance use disorders and they no longer exist as individual diagnosis. Russel Brand on Addiction and the 12 Step Program
Having 24-hour supervision, intensive care, and access to treatment are some of the major benefits of inpatient rehab, as they increase the chance of recovery. Another benefit of inpatient rehab is the change in scenery. Individuals battling drugs or alcohol, or with a co-occurring disorder, often associate a particular place or even person with the struggle. For some people, it might be their basement or the local bar. For others, it might be their “drinking buddies.” And for others, just being home alone might be enough to trigger substance use or symptoms of a particular mental health disorder.
Despite ongoing efforts to combat addiction, there has been evidence of clinics billing patients for treatments that may not guarantee their recovery. This is a major problem as there are numerous claims of fraud in drug rehabilitation centers, where these centers are billing insurance companies for under delivering much needed medical treatment while exhausting patients' insurance benefits. In California, there are movements and laws regarding this matter, particularly the California Insurance Fraud Prevention Act (IFPA) which declares it unlawful to unknowingly conduct such businesses.
Scholarships: Some organizations offer scholarships to help people with low incomes afford treatment. These scholarships are sometimes offered through private treatment facilities or through organizations concerned with helping those who are struggling with addiction. It is always advisable to inquire about scholarships or grants available for low-income individuals when seeking a treatment center. In some cases, SAMHSA also provides grants for treatment that can be provided through the state or treatment center. A Day in the Life of a Drug Addict *Emotional* (Part 2)

I adapted this recipe from the way we make it at work – we make a lot of different soups, but I think this is definitely the best winter warmer. It genuinely heats you right from within your core, and it’s bloody delicious to boot. Give it a go!
Roasted Curried Parsnip Soup
Serves 4-6 depending on your portion size!
:: 1 kg parsnips (approx 4 large ones)
:: 3 tbsp olive oil
:: 2-4 cloves of fresh garlic
:: 2-4 tsp dried thyme (you can of course use fresh if you have it)
:: 2-3 tbsp honey
:: 1-4 tsp hot curry powder
:: Salt and pepper
:: 750ml vegetable or chicken stock
:: 300ml double cream
:: Splash of milk
Note that you can vary the amount of the seasoning ingredients according to your taste. If you’re really afraid of curry powder, just go for a teaspoon. If you like it hawt, go mad with it. Just do what you feel! For reference, I used 4 garlic cloves, 3 tsp thyme, 2 tbsp honey and 2 tsp curry powder.
Peel the parsnips, top ‘n tail them, and cut them into relatively chunky batons (about two inches long and half an inch thick). You don’t want them too skinny else they’ll burn when you roast them, and equally you don’t want them huge else they’ll take a million years to roast. Use your common sense.
Toss them in a roasting tin with the olive oil, garlic, honey, thyme, curry powder, and a good twist from your salt and pepper mills. Roast at 200 degrees (reduce to 180 for fan ovens) for about 30-40 minutes, until the parsnips are softened and browned.
Once the parsnips are out, mash them up a little bit to make blending easier. Use a regular potato masher just to break them up a bit, right there in the roasting tin. You don’t need to be thorough in the slightest, it’s just to make your life a bit easier.
Meanwhile, bring 500ml or so of your stock to the boil in a large pan then take off the heat. Carefully add the squished parsnips and double cream, and gently mix together. Pour the rest of the stock into the roasting tin to remove the bits and pieces from the tin – extra flavour! Pour this in to the big pan, too.
The next part is blending – you can use an electric hand blender if you have one. Mine literally died on me whilst I was making the soup so I chucked it into a proper blender instead which works just as well if not better (it just creates more washing up ;P). I split this quantity of soup into two batches for blending to leave some room in the blender.
Just use your judgement as far as consistency goes. I think I did it for about 2 minutes on a medium speed until it was smooth. Once it’s all blended nicely, return it to the large pan and pop it back on the heat to simmer for a while. Taste it, test the consistency – if it’s a bit thick, add milk just a splash at a time until it’s how you like it. Add a little more salt and pepper if you like.
Now eat loads of it with a hot crusty roll. Mmmmm. This is very rich, though; you will need less than you think.
This will keep for up to a week in the fridge, but it can of course be frozen too. Just make sure you do not refreeze once thawed ;D see what I did there?!

The peso starts the session with an appreciation of 0.36% or 7.1 cents, trading around 19.90 pesos per dollar, with the exchange rate touching a minimum of 19.8910 and a maximum of 19.9951 pesos per dollar, ranking as the most appreciated currency in the wide basket of main crosses and advancing in line with other currencies of emerging economies or producers of raw materials, such as the Russian ruble (+ 0.26%), the South African rand (+ 0.14%), the New Zealand dollar (+ 0.11%) and the Canadian dollar (+0.06).
This morning’s move is just the result of an adjustment to the losses from Tuesday’s session. It should be noted that, in the exchange market, the dollar weighted index advances 0.09% against its main crosses, indicating that the peso, together with a small group of currencies, is moving in the opposite direction of the dollar, something that has not happened since Monday, April 5.
In global financial markets there is still caution, mainly in the capital market, since in Europe the main indices partially recover from Tuesday’s losses, advancing on average 0.70%, while in the United States the futures market shows mixed results, with the Dow Jones advancing just 0.03% and the Nasdaq losing 0.21%, as companies in the technology sector have been affected by Netflix’s quarterly results, which reported the inclusion of only 3.98 new subscribers in the first quarter, below 6 million expected and with a prediction of just 1 million subscribers in the second quarter.
It should be remembered that several companies in the technology sector benefited from the pandemic and the need for people to stay at home, a trend that is being reversed with the vaccination process, mainly in the United States.
Commodity markets show a mixed performance, with significant losses for oil prices. The WTI fell 1.63%, trading at 61.64 dollars a barrel.
The losses in the price are due to the fact that the Covid19 pandemic continues to advance, mainly in Asia.
Only India, which is the third largest buyer of oil globally, registered about 295,000 new coronavirus infections and 2,000 deaths on Wednesday, 10 times more than the average daily deaths registered a month ago.
The currencies of commodity-producing countries have not been affected this morning by the drop in the price of oil.
However, if the fall in crude prices persists, it is not ruled out that some currencies will register falls, as happened in the session on Tuesday.
The Central Bank of Canada has a monetary policy announcement at 9:00 am (CT), the bank is expected to reduce its bond purchase program from 4 billion Canadian dollars to 3 billion, due to positive economic indicators. that have been published.
If confirmed, it is likely that a significant appreciation of the Canadian dollar will be observed, which this morning advances only 0.06% and trades near 1.26 Canadian dollars per dollar.
Labor market and the peso
For its part, in Mexico, yesterday the Senate of the Republic approved the reform in the matter of outsourcing regulation, thus modifying article 123 of the Constitution regarding the Labor Law.
With the modifications, companies will be prohibited from subcontracting employees who are part of the company’s core economic activity.
This means that companies will only be able to use this model if they require a specialized position.
Companies that currently have outsourced employees will have three months to do a direct hire.
The approval of this reform is expected to slow down the labor market recovery process, which is already slow after the lowest formal job creation since 2013 was recorded in the first quarter.
During the session, the exchange rate is expected to trade between 19.82 and 19.99 pesos per dollar.
The euro starts the session with a depreciation of 0.23%, trading at 1.2008 dollars per euro, while the pound loses 0.11% and is trading at 1.3921 dollars per pound.
Money market and debt
In the United States, the 10-year Treasury yield remains unchanged at 1.57%, while in Mexico the 10-year M bond yield remains unchanged at 6.71 percent.
Derivatives market and the peso
To hedge against a depreciation of the peso beyond 20.00 pesos per dollar, a purchase option (call), with an exercise date within 1 month has a premium of 1.45% and represents the right but not the obligation to buy dollars in the aforementioned level.
On the other hand, the interbank forward for sale is at 19.9653 at 1 month, 20.3170 at 6 months and 20.7615 pesos per dollar at one year.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola HF) is a severe, often-fatal disease in humans and nonhuman primates (monkeys and chimpanzees) that has appeared sporadically since its initial recognition in 1976. It can be transmitted to humans by direct contact with infected live or dead animals, and more specifically with their body fluid. Its infectious nature and deadly affect on human makes it something to be reckoned with. This paper compares and contrasts the effects of the Bubonic Plague vs. the Ebola Virus and its impact on humans if there were to be an outbreak in a vastly populated area.
The Ebola Virus
During the Dark Ages a plague swept through Asia and Europe killing millions of people; at the time it was unstoppable with a unique set of hosts. The plague, later named “The Black Death” became one of the greatest catastrophes humanity has ever witnessed. Its predominance was mainly due to the lack of knowledge about sanitation and knowledge about the plague’s common hosts. Later in the late 20th century an outbreak occurred in Africa that killed at an alarmingly rapid rate, wiping out whole villages. It was later discovered that it was caused by a mutated virus that infected animals and was able to jump species. This epidemic also became a major problem in the world for its time. In a modern setting with such a large and close population, with such a wide span of mass global transportation, as we have today, the Ebola virus would be a more devastating epidemic than the plague if both were re-introduced into society. The history of the Bubonic Plague has proven to be a convoluted one. It all started when an Italian merchant ship was returning from China where the plague was already omnipresent. When the ship landed at its location, the bacteria quickly spread sparking off the beginning of an epidemic.
The Bubonic Plague had two unique carriers; one being the common rat that used to be frequently found on trade ships, and the other being the fleas found on rats, which could jump from the rats to humans. Both of these carriers were widespread in ancient society (14th century). The epidemic spread all over Europe by these means of transportation but slowed down at Germany due to their good hygiene. The history of the Ebola virus is much more modern. The first outbreak of Ebola was in Zaire (1976) with a kill rate of 88% and infecting 314 people. It was believed that the onset of the outbreak originated from a monkey that was carrying the virus and attacked a woodsman, transferring it to him. The virus’s main means of transportation is through contact with the already infected. Although large organizations like the Center for Disease Control (C.D.C.) went to try and stop the spread of the virus, it continued to infect large amounts of people. Infection occurred even with great public awareness and drastic quarantine techniques.
After the virus killed itself out, it reappeared in Sudan the same year. It again was believed to originate from monkeys. Though this strain was much less potent with only a 55% kill rate, it proved to be unstoppable until the virus killed itself out (The term “killed itself out” is used because the virus will kill all of its potential hosts in an area so it can no longer infect anyone or anything, literally ‘killing itself out’.) It reappeared in Sudan In 1979. Another strain of the virus was found in Virginia, Texas. This strain was a highly infectious one, but was not able to fully jump species from monkey to human. The virus killed every monkey in the quarantine but did not spread due to the drastic measures taken by the C.D.C., which included incinerating everything in the building including the infected monkeys, filling the building with ammonia gas, and quarantining the four infected humans. The Black plague’s scientific background is not very complex. The strain was only changed once and minutely. The properties of the plague and its infectious habits did not change. The plague was commonly found in rats and was often found aboard ships, especially trade ships due to their abundance of food. These rats had the bacterium in their blood. Fleas that commonly were found on the rats were the way that the bacterium would jump from the rat to the human.
The flea would suck blood from the rat and ingest the bacterium that would then grow in their digestive system. When their digestive system was full of bacteria it would then move its way up to the head of the flea and infect its blood sucking needle. When the flea moves from the rat to the human it would thus infect the human. The infection started with an egg size boil at the location that the flea would bite at and would then move either to the blood stream causing death quickly or would move to the lungs giving the infected a pneumonia-like symptoms killing them within a week. Due to the time in human history when the plague struck, human’s had no idea how to stop it or what caused it. In a modern setting any bacterium would be quickly identified and an antigen would be synthetically produced to help fight the infection. As well we would be able to fight the bacterium using medicines that were not around during the period that the plague struck Europe and Asia. The world has also improved on sanitation since the time.
Germany didn’t get struck very hard from the plague due to their laws that made Germany a more sanitary society. Germany at the time practiced a level of sanitation that is easily not as advanced as almost any culture in the world today. Ebola’s scientific background is more complex due to the fact that it can mutate at a very fast rate. The first outbreak in Zaire had mutated from a virus that only infected monkeys to an airborne version that infected humans as well. The viruses’ infection starts as a common cold then hits the blood stream. Once in the blood stream, it targets an organ that produces chemicals that hold the bonds between cells in other organs that keep the organs shape and structure. The virus then breaks apart bonds that hold cells together in organs. The infected organs in essence turn to mush and skin (being an organ) seeps body fluids from its pores and weak points like the eyes. The next stage of the infection cycle (called “crash and burn”*) induces violent convulsions and violent coughing.
This would send body fluids containing the virus flying in all directions enabling it to move from person to person by infecting a large area around the convulsing victim. The next stage is death. This would all happen in a matter of days. One of the reasons Ebola is so hard to contain is because it can survive in a dead body for weeks. Due to the fact that as humans, we feel a need to take care of our deceased, infection can occur in people that are trying to bury the bodies of the infected or people living in the same place or area as an infected person. The main reason that the Ebola virus was so unsuccessful at killing large numbers of people was because it killed so quickly that it would kill most of the village. The term “Crash and Burn” was a term coined by Richard Preston, author of the book “The Hot Zone”. The term is used to describe the stage of the Ebola infection when the infected goes into convolutions and their body temperature increases dramatically. This is the final stage before death. Like HIV it can mutate at an amazing rate making it impossible to create a vaccine to fight it. Due to these reasons if it were to infect a large populace that lived reasonably close together, like India, the result would be devastating because the virus would not have enough room to kill itself out.
The number of people that have died as a result of the Bubonic plague is in the millions. In Europe alone, it has claimed millions of lives. It is believed that the population of Europe in 1345 was 83 million and by 1400 the population was down to 60 million. Most of these deaths were caused by the plague. As civilization advanced, and people became more aware of being sanitary, the infection rate was much lower till it one day nearly disappeared. Outbreaks still occurred, but were less devastating and less frequent. The last occurrence of the Black plague being transmitted from rats to humans was in 1929 in Los Angeles killing 31 of the 32 infected. The Japanese in W.W.II used it as a biological weapon against the Chinese but proved to be an unsuccessful weapon, possibly due to the Chinese having a more advanced hygiene system then they had when the plague was more prevalent in the past. The first outbreak of Ebola was in Zaire. It was perhaps one of the most deadly, killing 318 people with a mortality rate of 88%.
After killing itself out, it re-emerged in Sudan in 1976. The Ebola Sudan strain (same strain as Zaire but with mutation) killed 284 with a mortality rate of 53% and again in 1979 infecting 34 people. Ebola Zaire re-emerged in the Congo killing 315 people with a mortality rate of 81%. Ebola Sudan also re-emerged in 2000-2001 killing 425 with a mortality rate of 53%. It is hard to point a finger at what these outbreaks were originally caused by or who their original carriers were. Monkeys are a known carrier due to the 1989 Reston outbreak that killed all of the monkeys in the quarantine laboratory, but many other animals such as birds and lizards are known to carry the disease as well. This makes it almost impossible to stop the original transmission of the virus from animal to human due to the wide variety of possible carriers and their wide spread abundance around the south western part of the world. The major reason that the plague would have trouble becoming a major problem in a modern setting is the fact that it is a bacterium.
Bacteria responds to antibiotics and the human immune system has an easy time identifying it as infectious due to their physical size, and can more easily produce antigens to fight the bacteria. Due to the fact that a bacterium is living, acting and responding to stimulus in the way all living things do, it can be more easily targeted by modern medicine. Bacteria tend to die at lower levels of stimulus extremity as well take a lot longer time evolve then virus although they will evolve with time modern medical science can keep up with it. The bubonic plague bacteria has been know mutate into different strains to but has not undergone any major mutations that would change it enough to stop responding to current medical treatments that would be used against it. Bacteria are too responsive to stimulus, and would not be able evolve faster than modern science thus in a modern setting it would not be able to become a major epidemic. The reason that Ebola would be able to become a major problem in a modern environment is that it is a virus, a unique virus that uses speed and aggression to kill its victims. Being a virus it does not take on all of the characteristics of living beings.
They do not have a response to stimuli nor do they reproduce by themselves. Viruses do not respond to any antibiotics thus taking one more weapon modern science could use against it. How do people survive then? When the virus is attacked by the human immune system, the virus can be weakened or destroyed. Consequently the immune system can then produce antigens that latch onto the virus’s shell making it easily identified. Unfortunately, the virus tends to kill the victims before the immune system can start that process, using speed as a weapon. The Ebola virus, furthermore has a tendency to mutate very quickly and mutate in dramatic ways; changing its shape and the way it can affect people. It has been known to mutate from a strictly infectious disease that can only be transferred by direct contact with contaminated body fluids to a more deadly version that is airborne.
Hence, because of its lack of response to stimuli and ability to mutate at an alarmingly quick rate, it would be able to change faster, as stay ahead of modern science. The main points to be brought out are that the world has become a much more sanitary one. One of the main reasons that Europe had fallen victim to the plague was due to bad living conditions and a lack of common sanitation. The Black Death also has know and identified carriers that transfer the bacterium from animal to human, making it more simple to eradicate the hosts. Ebola, on the other hand, does not have a list of known hosts and if it did it would be a long list, making it hard or impossible to eradicate the hosts. The infection cycle of the Bubonic plague has many weak points where modern medical science could intervene, whereas Ebola has a fast and efficient infection cycle that would be much harder to tamper with. The bubonic plague’s lack of ability to mutate quickly only adds to the conclusion that the Ebola virus would result in far more devastation then an outbreak of the Black Plague.

Platinum Stars midfielder Lindokhule Mbatha is back in training after breaking his hand against Polokwane City earlier this season.
The 28-year-old had to be taken off in the closing moments of that game after sustaining the injury to his hand and until now has been focused on allowing it to heal properly.
While the player is back in training, it would seem that he’s still a long way away from being match fit and it remains to be seen when he will return to action for Dikwena.
Meanwhile, going into Sunday’s Telkom Knockout encounter with Maritzburg United, Allan Freese has no fresh injury worries other than the absence of Siphelele Mthembu with a thigh problem.
Read: Dikwena Not Risking Mthembu
Prior to their MTN8 win last month, the TKO was the only major piece of silverware in the Stars trophy cabinet, and they will be hoping to take on step close to claiming it again when they meet the Team of Choice.
The two sides will meet at Moruleng Stadium at 15h00 on Sunday afternoon.

World’s Whitest Paint Could Eliminate Need for Air Conditioning
Will this game-changing new paint really change the way we cool down buildings?
Did you know the color of the paint on the outside of a building can drastically impact the temperature inside? Engineers at Purdue University have developed a paint that is so white it may eliminate the need for air conditioning.
By coating buildings in this ultra-white and highly reflective paint, researchers estimate that they can cool buildings without any mechanical air conditioning units.
“If you were to use this paint to cover a roof area of about 1,000 square feet, we estimate that you could get a cooling power of 10 kilowatts,” said Xiulin Ruan, a Purdue professor of mechanical engineering. “That’s more powerful than the central air conditioners used by most houses.”
The paint, officially certified by Guinness World Records as the “whitest paint in the world,” has gone through multiple iterations and retoolings. The finished formula uses a chemical compound called barium sulfate, the same one that gives paper and makeup their whiteness. The particles are all different shapes and sizes, adding to their reflectiveness.
Researchers at Purdue demonstrated the cooling powers of this white paint with impressive results. During testing, surfaces covered in the white paint were eight degrees F cooler than their surrounding area when exposed to strong sunlight during noon hours. At night, the paint kept surfaces 19 degrees cooler than their surroundings.
Typical “heat-reflecting” paints on the market reflect 80 to 90 percent of sunlight. Purdue researchers say its ultra-white paint reflects up to 98.1 percent. While it is technically possible to make the paint even whiter, researchers worry that doing so would compromise the integrity of the paint.
“Although a higher particle concentration is better for making something white, you can’t increase the concentration too much,” said Xiangyu Li, a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who worked on this project as a Purdue doctoral student. “The higher the concentration, the easier it is for the paint to break or peel off.”
So when will this paint find its way into the hands of the public? It might be sooner than you think. According to a news release, Purdue has filed patent applications for the paint formula and is working with an unidentified company to scale up the production and get it on the market.

By the end of the 19th-century, Barnabas Day had succeeded in sparking change in Ontario with the establishment of a professional dental association, a permanent dental college and a dental Code of Ethics. Dentistry had become a respectable profession to aspire to.
It was amid this atmosphere of change that Dr. Caroline Louise Josephine Wells broke Ontario’s dentistry gender barrier in 1893. Wells became the first female member of the Ontario Dental Society and the first female graduate of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons (RCDS).
Determined to overcome the tremendous social and economic pressures facing her, Wells sent her three children to live with relatives while she completed her schooling. Her entry into the profession opened the way for other women in Ontario, signalling the end of male exclusivity in Ontario’s organized dentistry. For the next 36 years, Dr. Wells practised in Toronto, providing groundbreaking dental care to patients in several of Ontario’s mental hospitals.

Common Types of Construction Accidents
Our country depends on construction workers to build our homes, construct the buildings businesses operate in, and pave and repair our roads. But being a construction worker is hardly an easy job. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fatalities in the private construction industry increased 5% in 2019, a total of 1,061 deaths, the highest total since 2007. It’s estimated that over the course of a 45-year long career, a construction worker has a 1-in-200 chance of sustaining a fatal, on-the-job injury.
There are a huge number of ways construction site accidents and injuries can potentially occur. Between all the heavy machinery and powerful tools involved and the fact that workers often have to work at high elevations or in tight, enclosed spaces, it’s very easy to get hurt if safety isn’t taken seriously.
Common Construction Accidents
Although there are so many ways for construction accidents to happen, certain types of accidents tend to happen more frequently than others. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a government agency that oversees workplace safety, has what they call the “fatal four” construction site accidents. The “fatal four” accidents were responsible for 60.6% of all construction worker deaths in 2014:
Falls are the most common construction site accident by far. In 2019, falls accounted for 36.5% of all construction worker deaths. During the 2019 fiscal year, several of OSHA’s 10 most commonly issued citations for construction sites all involved things that could lead to falls, such as inadequate fall protection, scaffolding problems, and unsafe ladders.
Electrocutions accounted for 8.6% of all construction worker deaths in 2019. Not only are construction workers often working with or around things like exposed wiring and overhead wires, they may also be working around wires in wet conditions. Poor maintenance of power tools and cables can also lead to electrocutions. When construction workers are working outdoors, it’s important for site supervisors to carefully monitor the weather and take appropriate safety measures when conditions change. Lightning strikes, for example, are another thing that can fall into the “electrocution” category.
Struck By Object
In 2019, about 10.1% of fatal construction accidents were the result of a worker being struck by an object. Since construction sites are full of objects being hoisted up, swinging around, or falling there’s a very good chance that someone could be struck by that object. This type of construction accident could also include workers being struck by a motor vehicle.
There are several ways a construction worker might suffer from a fatal caught-in/between accident. A limb might get caught in a piece of equipment, the worker could be crushed by falling debris, or a worker could get trapped between immovable objects. These types of accidents accounted for about 2.5% of all construction site fatalities in 2019.
Other Common Construction Accidents
OSHA estimates that if the “fatal four” could be eliminated, it would save hundreds lives in America every year. But the “fatal four” are hardly the only causes of construction injuries. Many construction workers either work directly on the road or close to it, which puts workers at risk for being hit by a passing vehicle. In developing countries, approximately 30% of all motor vehicle crashes involve someone at work. According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, most work zone accidents are the result of distracted/inattentive drivers and speeding.
Construction workers are also very commonly exposed to hazardous materials, which can lead to respiratory illnesses if they’re not handled safely. It’s estimated that if a person begins working in construction at the age of 20 and lives to be 85, they’ll have a 15% chance of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and an 11% chance of developing other parenchymal chest problems due to dust inhalation.
Contact a Construction Accident Lawyer
If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, it’s very important to contact a construction accident lawyer right away. At a time like this, it’s very important to have someone on your side who can fight to protect your rights and help you get all of the compensation you need for your recovery. At Goodwin & Scieszka, we’re experienced in helping the victims of Michigan construction accidents. Contact us today to get started.

Following a hiatus in M6 production for 16 years, the M6 version of the E63/E64 6 Series was introduced in 2005. The M6 uses the same BMW S85 V10 engine and SMG III gearbox as the E60 M5.
The M6 was produced as both a coupé (E63 model code) and a convertible (E64 model code). The exterior styling was overseen by Karl Elmitt.
The M6 had two modes for engine power: a "P400" mode in which the engine has a rated power output of 294 kW (394 hp) and a "P500" mode in which the engine has a rated power output of 373 kW (500 hp / 507 PS). This example has the 500 hp / 507 PS engine. Manufacturer claimed performance included a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time of 4.6 seconds. The top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) or 305 km/h (190 mph) if the optional M-driver's package is fitted, which is also the case of this example.
The coupe version weighs 1,710 kg. Weight reduction measures include a carbon fibre roof (for the coupe only), thermoplastic quarter panels, aluminium doors, aluminium bonnet (hood) and a carbon-fibre boot (trunk) lid. The M6 coupe has a carbon fibre roof in order to reduce weight and for a lower centre of gravity. Additional features included: sports seats, larger front and rear brakes, an M-performance instrument cluster, and an optional M head-up Display. The car also has quad exhaust-pipes and larger, more aerodynamic air intakes.
Production of the M6 ended in mid-2010, with sales over the five-year run totalling 9,087 for the coupe. This M6 is all original in perfect condition, low milleage and fully optioned example with the 507 PS V10 engine and M Driver Package.

Donald Trump’s brash rhetoric reached new heights yesterday when he took at shot at John McCain’s status as a prisoner of war — a move analysts say could alienate key supporters and threatens to derail the business magnate’s campaign.
The Republican presidential candidate slammed McCain’s military record at a conservative forum yesterday, saying he was a “war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”
His remarks drew boos from the audience.
Earlier this week, McCain criticized Trump for his controversial remarks on immigration, saying they had “fired up the crazies” at a rally in Phoenix.
Earlier in the week, Trump called McCain “a dummy” who graduated at the bottom of his U.S. Naval Academy class.
He then took the jibe to another level.
McCain, whose experience in the Vietnam War was a linchpin of his 2008 presidential bid, was held for more than five years after his plane was shot down.
Trump’s comments were particularly careless in the wake of the Chattanooga shooting Thursday that killed five service members, said GOP national pundit Ford O’Connell.
“Trump doesn’t like to apologize, but he’s probably going to have to walk back some of those comments,” said O’Connell, who is a former McCain adviser. “This is one of those things where you only get so many of them before you’re kaput as a candidate.”

PHOENIX, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- Luis Scola scored four points during a key 6-0 run in the fourth quarter Thursday, sending Phoenix to a 93-88 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers suffered their third straight loss and played their second game in a row without the services of Chris Paul, who has a bruised knee.
Phoenix held only a one-point lead as the game headed into its final 4 minutes, but Scola made back-to-back jumpers and Marcin Gortat scored on a reverse layup to give the Suns an 86-79 cushion.
Los Angeles again closed within one in the final minute, but eight Phoenix free throws in the final 23 seconds protected the lead.
Jamal Crawford scored 21 for the Clippers, who will play five of their next six games on the road.

This invention relates generally to frictional resistance to relative displacement of members, and more particularly to controlled frictional resistance to cyclic displacement of one member relative to another.There is need for improvements in devices which provide frictional resistance to relative displacement of members, considering the difficulty of controlling transitions between static friction (existent before the members are relativelydisplaced) and sliding friction (existent while the members are undergoing relative displacement). Such transitions occur, for example, during cyclic (back and forth) movement of such members. Experience has shown that the force needed to effect cyclicback and forth movement between frictionally interengaged members tends to increase and then decrease over a range of cycling, under the static and sliding friction conditions occurring during each cycle, as referred to. Such force increases anddecreases transmitted through associated mechanism can and do increase the wear, and reduces the lives, of such mechanism.What is needed is a means to reduce or substantially eliminate such force increase and decrease, needed to cyclically displace one member relative to another over a large number of cycles, which the members are frictionally interengaged.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is a major object of the invention to provide a solution to the above described problems. The present invention meets the need referred to, and is embodied in apparatus to provide controlled frictional resistance to cyclic displacement of amember, comprisinga) a baseb) a friction part remaining frictionally and slidably engaged with said base, in response to cyclic displacement of said member,c) at least one spring element transmitting force acting to hold said part in frictional engagement with said base,d) one of said friction part and base having a friction surface engaged with the other of said part and base, and characterized in that the force to overcom

The Bel-Art Scienceware 420300000 Non-Vacuum Desiccator is a thick-walled drying chamber that has a cylindrical cover with a flat top to provide greater volume than standard hemispherical covers and a neoprene O-ring that forms a secure seal to preserve thin-layer chromatography plates, dried materials, chemical standards, and other moisture-sensitive samples. The desiccator measures 20.6cm high with an inside diameter (ID) of 14.9cm. It has a transparent polycarbonate top for a clear view of contents and resistance to shattering, and a white polypropylene bottom that resists chemicals and can be used with incandescent crucibles supported on high-heat plates. Its 14cm diameter x 0.32cm thick, rigid, perforated polypropylene plate supports samples and sets on an inner ledge, leaving space underneath for desiccant. The plate is removable and can be replaced with Scienceware High-Heat Desiccator Plates (sold separately) to support hot crucibles. A ridged knob on the top can be used to remove the top from the bottom. This desiccator is for use with disposable or reusable desiccant. It is not recommended for use with organic solvents because they may cause fractures in the polycarbonate top.
|Plate size||14cm diameter, No. 3|
|Clearance above plate||12.1cm/4-3/4"|
|Inside diameter (ID)||14.9cm/5-7/8"|
|Flange outside diameter (OD)||17.1cm/6-3/4"|
Desiccators are sealable containers used to remove water from a sample, or to preserve moisture-sensitive electronics or lab consumables, typically in laboratory, electronic, and aerospace applications. Desiccators are often used with desiccants, which are drying agents such as silica gel or activated charcoal placed under a removable platform. Standard desiccators are typically lidded jars used with a desiccant. Vacuum desiccators have a stopcock that allows air evacuation from the desiccator. Gas purge desiccators use a gas port to introduce nitrogen or other gasses, creating a controlled environment. Vacuum and gas purge desiccators may also be used with desiccants. Many desiccators are used with vacuum grease, which helps create a seal.
Bel-Art Products manufactures scientific products, including labware, testing equipment, and safety supplies, under the Bel-Art and Scienceware brands. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Wayne, NJ.

Securing Space: NASA Funds Innovative AI, Blockchain Project at University of Miami for Nanosatellite Cybersecurity
NASA is leading an initiative through the University of Miami’s Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing (IDSC) to enhance the security of satellite communication in space. This groundbreaking project focuses on integrating nanosatellites with traditional large satellites and addresses the cybersecurity challenges associated with their communication networks.
NASA’s Investment in Nanosatellite Security:
NASA, renowned for its technical innovation and leadership in space exploration, is funding a project at the University of Miami’s IDSC. The project aims to augment traditional large satellites with nanosatellites or constellations of nanosatellites, expanding their capabilities in communication, weather prediction, Earth science research, and observational data gathering.
Challenges in Nanosatellite Communication Security:
The reduced cost and increased accessibility of nanosatellites have paved the way for various public and private organizations to own and operate them. However, this proliferation poses significant challenges for the protection of their communication networks, similar to vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi networks. The diverse ownership of small satellites increases the potential for cyber exploitation, posing threats to national security and economic interests.
Thales’ Successful Hack of ESA’s Nanosatellite
In a cybersecurity exercise in spring 2023, researchers from Thales, a multinational technology company, successfully hacked into the European Space Agency’s (ESA) nanosatellite, OPS-SAT. The ethical hack exposed potential vulnerabilities in satellite systems and highlighted the real impact of cyberattacks on space infrastructure. Thales researchers gained control of OPS-SAT’s systems, manipulating its global positioning, attitude control, and onboard camera, compromising data transmission and altering captured images.
Significance of Cyber Resilience in Satellite Systems:
Thales emphasized the importance of enhancing cyber resilience in both ground segments and orbital systems of satellites. While the ESA’s satellite vulnerabilities were a cause for concern, commercial satellites face even greater risks, as demonstrated by incidents involving SpaceX’s Starlink system and reported hacks on mainstream satellite internet systems.
NASA Collaborates with University of Miami:
To address the critical issue of cybersecurity in satellite communication, NASA approached Dr. Yelena Yesha, the Knight Foundation Endowed Chair and Director of IDSC AI and Machine Learning at the University of Miami. The resulting project investigates the efficacy of emerging zero trust architectures for small satellite networks, utilizing recent research to meet growing security challenges.
Leveraging Blockchain for Inter-Satellite Communication
The project, led by Dr. Yesha, explores blockchain technology as a means to enhance protection for inter-satellite communication. The team, including cybersecurity experts Stephen Dennis, Dr. Phuong Nguyen, Dr. Yusen Wu, Alex Pissinou-Makki, and Kevin Padron, aims to enforce zero trust cybersecurity principles through scrutinizing every transaction in the system.
Potential Impact and Future Directions:
The project plans to document operationally relevant use cases, offering a proof of concept that informs cybersecurity for both simulation environments and potential applications in satellite systems. With an emphasis on scalability, the team will conduct large-scale system simulations to ensure security designs keep pace with the expanding network of satellites, predicted to reach 2,080 nanosatellites by 2027.
Securing Communication in Space: A Multifaceted Challenge:
Beyond economic and security implications, the initiative acknowledges the multifaceted role of satellites in monitoring weather patterns, Earth science, and supporting military activities. The increasing reliance on satellites across various sectors emphasizes the urgency of securing communication in space. The project aims to bridge existing gaps in commercial satellite communication security, addressing potential risks associated with unauthorized access and corruption.
Incorporating AI and Blockchain for Security:
The project’s convergence of AI, blockchain technology, and space exploration marks a significant leap in addressing the complex challenges of securing communication in space. The interdisciplinary approach aims to reshape how satellite-based activities are approached in different sectors.
Iterative Development and Collaboration with NASA
The ongoing project, in its nascent stage, focuses on user and device registration, aiming to conduct use cases over the next six months. The team plans to iterate on these cases, collaborating closely with NASA to align with overall expectations. Resource allocation, vetting within simulation systems, and leveraging federated learning are central aspects of the project.
As NASA leads this pioneering initiative, the collaboration with the University of Miami exemplifies the commitment to addressing evolving challenges in space technology. The exploration of vulnerabilities in nanosatellite systems, coupled with innovative efforts in cybersecurity, underscores the importance of securing inter-satellite communication for the future of space exploration and satellite-based activities.
