- Trump’s call to Bolster Virtual Opioid Treatment Lacks Muscle, Critics Say: President Donald Trump on Thursday signaled his intention to break a logjam preventing doctors from treating opioid addiction through long-distance consults, a vital way to reach the hundreds of thousands of addicts living in rural and hard-to reach parts of the United States.

- Trump’s ObamaCare Move may Bolster Law: President Trump’s decision to cancel key ObamaCare payments could be backfiring. Trump has claimed the health-care law is “imploding,” and earlier this month he took an action seemingly aimed at that goal: cutting off subsidy payments to insurers known as cost-sharing reductions.

So, states, municipalities, community groups, insurers and others are strengthening their outreach efforts.

Nick Foligno scored twice, Sergei Bobrovsky returned from a team suspension and stopped 22 shots and the Columbus Blue Jackets held off a late surge and defeated the New York Rangers 7-5 Sunday night.
Cam Atkinson and Artemi Panarin each had a goal and an assist, Ryan Murray had two assists and nine other players picked up points in the offensive explosion for Columbus. But, two goals by the Rangers late in the third period turned it into a closer game.
The Blue Jackets have won four of the last five, despite being terrible on the power play. They managed the wild victory over the Rangers despite coming up empty on five power plays.
Mats Zuccarello had two goals, and Ryan Stome, Chris Kreider and Jimmy Vesey also scored for the Rangers. Alexandar Georgiev, spelling starter Henrik Lungqvist on the second night of a back-to-back, had 33 saves. New York has lost six of its last seven games.
Anthony Duclair, Lukas Sedlak and David Savard also scored for the Blue Jackets, and Bobrovsky — who had been benched for Thursday’s game for violating a team policy and didn’t play in Saturday’s overtime win over Washington — wasn’t terrific, but held off the Rangers after they pulled the goalie for a sixth skater late in the game.
JETS 4, DUCKS 3, OT
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Bryan Little scored at 4:49 of overtime as Winnipeg beat Anaheim and extended the Ducks’ losing streak to a franchise-record 11 games.
Blake Wheeler, Patrik Laine and Ben Chiarot also scored and Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves to help the Jets improve to 5-2-0 in their last seven games. They have won four straight at home.
Brian Gibbons, Rickard Rakell and Andrew Cogliano scored and John Gibson stopped 30 shots for the Ducks. They are 0-7-4 during the skid.
HURRICANES 6, PREDATORS 3
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Sebastian Aho had three goals and an assist to lead Carolina past Nashville.
Justin Williams, Saku Maenalanen and Lucas Wallmark also scored for Carolina, which won for the seventh time in eight games and earned its fifth consecutive victory at home. Micheal Ferland had two assists.
Nashville, which had earned at least a point in seven straight games, got two goals from Filip Forsberg and another from Colton Sissons. Goaltender Pekka Rinne was chased in the second period.

Taco hell: Driver smashes through doors of crowded fast food restaurant
Taco Bell employee fired over porn star past
Surge in online sales at Taco Bell helps Yum beat quarterly results
How Taco Bell saved ex-NFL star’s life
The restaurant industry’s labor shortage has fast-food chains like Taco Bell sweetening the pot in hopes of staffing up.
The Yum Brands-owned chain, known for its Mexican-inspired menu, announced plans Tuesday to hire 5,000 employees on April 21 at some 2,000 Taco Bells across the country. And it will be boosting benefits for its managers amid a labor shortage that continues to plague the services industry despite sky-high unemployment rates.
“It is no secret that the labor market is tight,” said Kelly McCulloch, Taco Bell’s chief people officer, in a statement Tuesday announcing the new perks.
General managers at the chain’s company-owned eateries will now get four weeks of annual vacation, eight weeks of paid maternity leave and four weeks of new parent and guardian “baby bonding,” the company said.
Taco Bell isn’t alone. Darden, which owns Olive Garden and Yard House, said on March 25 that it’s raising its minimum starting wage to $10 an hour starting immediately. The wage will be boosted further to $11 per hour in January 2022 and to $12 in January 2023.
Starbucks in December boosted its pay by 10 percent and said it will increase hourly wages to $15 an hour over the next two to three years.
“Finding enough people to work is easily the No. 1 concern for restaurant operators today,” restaurant analyst Mark Kalinlowski told The Post. “I’ve heard of restaurants not being able to open for a day because they don’t have enough workers or restaurants that cut their hours of operation because they don’t have enough staff throughout the day — and these are all large chains.”
The labor problem started before the pandemic but worsened last year — despite record joblessness — as many services workers chose to collect unemployment rather than risk bringing the deadly coronavirus home to their families.
“In Ohio you can make $452 a week in unemployment,” Carl Howard, chief executive of the 200-unit Fazoli’s chain told Restaurant Business. “The federal government is going to top that with $300. That’s $752. If I pay $15 an hour, that’s $600. They’re making $18.55 to stay home. “I’ve got to pay $18.55 if I’m going to attract workers. That doesn’t work in our model or anyone else’s model.”
Although more people are now somewhat protected from the virus due to vaccinations, demand for positions for waiters, cooks, bartenders and hostesses still hasn’t caught up with supply in part because so many more such jobs have opened up.
In March, as the weather warmed and more states loosened their indoor dining restrictions, the US restaurant industry was short about 1.2 million employees compared to the same month in 2020, according to US Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
During past economic downturns, restaurant jobs provided a much-needed lifeline for unemployed workers. But this time is different, thanks to a combination of the coronavirus and boosted unemployment benefits, experts said.
“During other economic downturns restaurants have generally benefitted, finding workers who’d been laid off in other industries,” Aaron Allan & Associates analyst, RJ Hottovy told The Post. “But the opposite situation is happening now with the restaurants being the employers unable to find workers.”

How can I introduce forgiveness into my own family. I am a mother of three children, ages 6, 8, and 11.
We have forgiveness education curriculum guides here at the International Forgiveness Institute, Inc. for children age 4 all the way up to adolescents ages 17 to 18. We help children and adolescents first understand forgiveness through stories, which are part of these curricula. You might consider once a week having a “Forgiveness Hour” in which you use the lessons from our curriculum guides. You also might consider even a 15 minute Family Forgiveness Forum once a week in which you discuss your own themes of forgiveness that week: How you are working on forgiving, what you are doing concretely to forgive, and how this is going for you.

UK’s energy regulator commands companies to end installing prepaid meters by force
(MENAFN) Energy firms in the UK have been enquired by the sector regulator Ofgem to halt the action of powerfully trading regular energy meters with prepaid ones.
The instruction came following the Times found that agents operating for Arvato-Financial Solutions, operating on behalf of British Gas, had found their way into the home of a single father of three to build a prepaid meter by force.
The prepaid meters need the customer to compensate their energy bill beforehand and they are broadly on a higher expensive level.
In a press release, Ofgem stated that “These are extremely serious allegations from The Times. We are launching an urgent investigation into British Gas and we won’t hesitate to take firm enforcement action.”
Adding, “It is unacceptable for any supplier to impose forced installations on vulnerable customers struggling to pay their bills before all other options have been exhausted and without carrying out thorough checks to ensure it is safe and practicable to do so.”

I am like Batman! Maybe you are too.
I recently wrote about how I’m not Batman and that you probably weren’t either. My point was that we can all be served by getting rid of the idea that great leaders are heroes and get on with being a bit more human.
This time, I’m going to share with you one way that I am just like Batman!
Batman is obsessed about bringing justice to Gotham City and is part of the Justice League. The guy is all about justice. If and when this pursuit of justice is considered and doesn’t become an obsession, it can be a useful thing. As my friend, Alicia McKay wrote recently, sometimes embracing your inner rebel can be fantastic. All of the examples that Alicia uses here could easily be interpreted as a fight against injustice…
“Thanks to the inner rebel, we see movements for civil rights, gender equality, mental health awareness, diversity and inclusion.”
So, fighting injustice is a good thing, right? Yep. Until it’s not.
Just like when Batman pushes the boundaries with the people of Gotham by taking the blame for Harvey Dent’s crimes or when his decision lead to his faithful butler, Alfred leaving him due to his self-destructive and blind pursuit of justice.
I have had a strong reaction to a few things that have happened recently and was reflecting on what triggered such strong responses in me. The pattern that I noticed was that when I get a sense of injustice (based on my own biased view of the world), it can be a very strong driver of my thoughts and actions. It tends to not serve me – or others – very well. As I look around, I notice that pattern appearing with the leaders that I work with also. It’s sometimes subtle, but it may turn up with phrases like:
“This is supposed to be his job”
“When I was doing that job, I had to put in huge hours”
“Why are we the ones having to pick up their mess?”
It can be less subtle, like “it’s not fair”. That’s pretty obviously a sense of injustice!
For me, when the Dark Knight of injustice rises, I need to be very careful about the way that I respond (and do my best not to have a knee-jerk reaction!). For each of us, the triggers can be different. Just like Batman, our pursuit of justice can be a force for good or a force that leads to destruction (often self-destruction). Becoming aware of our triggers can help each of us to use our desire for justice more wisely.
A couple of questions to consider:
When was the last time you experienced a sense of injustice?
How can you make your response to injustice a positive experience for you and others?

it is underneath the lower intake in the middle of the "valley" on V6 models. between the cylinder heads on the block. pretty big job. the knock sensor WILL NOT turn the check engine light on. it will store a code but NOT turn the light on. (i am a Nissan tech, trust me) it will effect the timing and fuel strategy though.
There are a lot of sites giving reviews of the Nissan Xterra. The reviews can be found on sites such as Edmunds, Auto Trader, The Car Connection and Motor Trend.
It is important to know the location of the parts of a car. The turn signal flasher of a 2004 Nissan Xterra is found under the driver side dashboard panel.?æ
The 2002 Nissan Xterra fuel pump reset switch can be found on the firewall in the engine compartment. The fuel pump relay switch will be on the drivers side of the firewall.
The 2004 Nissan Xterra PCV valve is located on the outside of the air cleaner housing. The PCV valve can be found on the back of the air cleaner housing.
This can be found on the frame of the vehicle inside the driver's door. GVWR = 5200 pounds.
The 1996 Nissan 200 vehicle speed sensor can be found on the back of the transmission. The vehicle speed sensor will be in the upper left-hand corner of the transmission.
The 1995 Nissan Pathfinder IAT sensor can be found in the air intake hose. The IAT sensor will be between the air filter box and the top of the engine.
This. is the sensor found on the cylinder head in the vicinity of the camshaft which inform the ECM of its position, so the. spark.could be sent to the cylinder for ignition.of the cylinder.
The 1985 Nissan 300 ambient air temperature sensor can be found on the bottom of the drivers side mirror. If you look at the bottom of the mirror housing you will see the sensor.
The 1997 Nissan pickup truck crankshaft position eight sensor can be found on the back of the engine. The positioning sensor will be halfway down the engine block.
The 2000 Nissan accessory outlet fuse can be found in the fuse box. The accessory outlet fuse will be in the second column, fourth from the bottom.
I experienced a knocking noise in my 03 Xterra and found out is was a bad wheel bearing seal and had to have the Nissan dealership replace it for about $400 (includes labor and parts).
The 2003 Saturn camshaft sensor can be found on the back of the cylinder head. The camshaft sensor should be labeled as such.
The thermostat on a 2001 Nissan Frontier 4 cylinder is located on top of the water pump. The thermostat can be found by following the upper radiator hose.
2005+ Nissan Pathfinder is one of the vehicles that these wheels fit. From what I've found this bolt pattern is also on 2005 and newer Nissan Xterra's, 2005 and newer Nissan Frontier's, Dodge Dakota's, and Dodge Durango's.

The 2006 Honda Accord camshaft position sensor can be found on the back of the right-hand cylinder head. The camshaft position sensor should be labeled as such.
Answer I found this great site about Nissan O2 and its location to fix with diagrams!
Sensor 1 is the sensor before the cat. converter and bank 2 is the side of the engine Cylinder #2 is on. Not sure of your specific vehicle, but I have found this to be the general rule with sensor #'s and banks.
The Nissan Frontier six-cylinder fuel pump relay switch can be found attached to the frame, near the fuel tank. The fuel pump relay switch will be on the right hand side of the vehicle.
A typical 6 cylinder engine will idle at around 900 rpm, but they vary. My Isuzu has a 4 cylinder and idles at 750 normally ( more with the AC on). Before I knew what the idle speed was I sped it up a little to around 950 because it seemed to be smoother and the computer threw a code for idle out of range so I read my book and found the proper setting.
I found this great site about Nissan O2 and its location to fix.. http://maxima.theowensfamily.com/tsb/index.asp?year=2000&tsb=none Search for NTB02-051a All O2 Sensor Replacements Thanks... Jim

One of the nice very long hairstyles I choose to use no matter whether I'm going to perform or likely out for the night is definitely the half-up and half-down model. You may need a premium quality clip or hair tie. For night time time, I choose to use an embellished clip which will sparkle in opposition to my hair. Throughout the day, I take advantage of simple hair elastic that is certainly the identical shade as my hair. You are going to should different the best portion of your hair from the bottom, applying your ears for a guidebook. It is possible to obtain the hair at the back, or else you can brush the hair from front to back, making it smooth. In any event, fasten your hair with all the clip or elastic and you simply are prepared for action. Several hair stylists list this as one of their simplest of long hairstyles Short Hair Wedding Hairstyles.
An alternative choice in the many lengthy hairstyles presented is often a extravagant ponytail. This entails fastening the hair for the nape with the neck, not the best. You could fasten your hair loosely using a fancy elastic or hair tie or even a sash. I generally utilize a neckerchief in a vibrant shade to add flair. This hairstyle is stylish, but might be entertaining using the suitable accessory.
Lots of ladies feel that limited hairstyles need to be boring. However once again, using the best accent is important. Brief hairstyles are tricky due to the fact you can find not a lot hair to operate with. No matter if your hair is curly or straight, you'll be able to utilize a good headband to accent your hair. Headbands are more preferred than ever before and are available in a selection of designs, such as leather-based and silk. Despite the fact that I have prolonged hair, I love to don a silk headband or head scarf to keep my hair out of my eyes, but to also incorporate definition and fascination to my hair. An ideal accessory will make the primary difference involving moussey brown hair along with the wow factor. Numerous ladies are afraid of applying equipment mainly because they believe that they will be as well flashy. This can be specifically the opposite. A fantastic accent including a head scarf, clip or embellished comb can add an incredible volume of glamour to both short hairstyles and lengthy hairstyles. Never limit your imagination in regards to limited hairstyles or lengthy hairstyles.

BENGALURU: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has reported that all systems are green for the Chandrayaan-3 so far.
On Monday, ISRO announced that the second orbit-raising manoeuvre, or Earth-bound apogee firing, had been performed successfully. The manoeuvres are being performed at the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru.
According to the space agency, the next firing is planned for Tuesday, between 2 pm and 3 pm. From 41,762 km x 174 km, Chandrayaan-3 is currently orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 41,603 km x 226 km. After its launch on July 14, Chandrayaan-3 is in the first phase - the Earth-Centric Phase - of its mission. Following the successful conduction of all firing manoeuvres, as part of the Earth-bound Manoeuvre Phase, it will enter Phase 2 of the mission - the Lunar Transfer Phase.
Under this, it will attempt to transition from its orbit around the Earth, into orbit around the Moon. After this, it will enter the final stage of the mission, the Moon Centric Phase, where it will attempt to soft land its lander and rover, spelling the success of the mission.
As Chandrayaan-3 is currently orbiting the Earth, preparing to slingshot its way into orbit around the Moon, netizens across the world have reported sightings of the capsule.

The first lighting assemblies is an LED tail position light developed in response to aircraft manufacturers' demand for lighting solutions that offer dramatically longer life spans compared with conventional lighting products.
This self-contained assembly is designed to drop-in and replace many of the lighting assemblies based on older technology currently in use, but is streamlined and advanced enough to be used on the newest class of business jet aircraft platforms now under development. The tail position light meets the FAA Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) requirements for position lighting.
The second lighting assembly is an LED low-profile wingtip lighting assembly that incorporates full aircraft anti-collision and position functions.
The unit is completely self-contained without the need for external power supplies. And since multiple lighting assemblies are now combined into one wingtip lighting assembly, the new lighting assembly also reduces the power, weight and drag on the aircraft while dramatically improving its operational life. The wingtip lighting assembly meets the FAA FAR requirements for position and anti-collision lighting.
Peter Gundermann, president and CEO of Astronics Corporation, commented, "Aircraft manufacturers [require] lighting solutions that effectively incorporate cutting-edge technology to increase useful product life while reducing system weight and power requirements. The tail position light and wingtip lighting assembly expand our already robust suite of aircraft lighting solutions that can be found on business, commercial and military aircraft around the world."

Exporting animal by-products
Animal by-products mean those parts of animals and products of animal origin not intended for human consumption. They include, for example, animal hides and skins, game trophies, wool, feathers, bones, hoofs and horns, feeds and fertilisers of animal origin and the products of animal origin used as raw materials in their production. The “export” of animal by-products means their movement from the EU to a non-EU country (a “third country”). However, if the animal by-products are moved to a country that is considered equal with EU Member States based on an agreement between the country and the EU, the movement is not considered exportation to a third country but intra-Union trade. Such countries include, for example, Norway and Switzerland.
Exports of animal by-products into a third country must meet the requirements of the country of destination and any country of transit. The exporting operator is responsible for ascertaining and meeting the export requirements. If Finland or the EU has made an agreement with the third country concerning the export of animal by-products, exports must also comply with the provisions of the agreement.
An operator exporting animal by-products to a third country must be registered in a register maintained by the Finnish Food Authority.
The exports of animal by-products are controlled by municipal veterinarians and in slaughterhouses and connected establishments by veterinary inspectors. The veterinarian controls that the export consignment meets the import requirements of the country of destination and issues the consignment a veterinary certificate.

Soil Analysis – Essential for producing high-quality crops
Cultivation of crops is done in a wide variety of soil types and the requirement for fertilizers depends on the type of soil. Cultivating a huge land or even a small garden incurs huge investment and if the soil quality is not good, growing plants and crops becomes difficult as well as very costly. Hence, knowing the nutrient content as well as the pH level in the soil is very essential. Most often people tend to over-use the different plant nutrients, which create an imbalance in the soil, resulting in harming both the plants and the environment.
Soil analysis is the best way to know the quality of soil. By testing the soil quality, you will be able to know about the pH level in the soil as well as the nutrient contents. This will help you to use the right amount of fertilizer that is required for growing a particular crop. This is very essential for organic farming. For soil testing, some samples of the earth are taken to a laboratory and it is tested to find its quality along with the issues that might pose hindrance in the growth of plants. This process helps in maximizing the production by using the accurate amount of fertilizer. Along with soil testing, 1:2 water extract analysis is also important before planting crops. It is a method that is employed to measure the water soluble nutrients present in the soil and deciding on the amount that plants are capable of taking in.
Sulphur being an essential nutrient for plant growth, it is important to test the amount contained in the soil for further application. Since with time the content of sulphur in the soil has declined to a great extent, in most cases it is applied by spraying. In the similar way, amino acid chelate is used in organic farming owing to the various benefits it offers. However, the amount depends on the type of soil, which can be measured by testing the soil. Agrilibrium is a company in South Africa that manufactures as well as promotes a variety of nutrients for plants. They also provide soil testing service along with other such services to promote organic farming in the region.


CNC machine monitoring – data collection methods
CNC machine monitoring involves getting data from the machine about its status. This can be done in various ways, depending on the features available on the machine.
Method 1: Send out data through RS232 serial port using Macro calls
E.g., On Fanuc or Haas. Data is sent out through CNC machine’s serial port using the DPRNT command whenever there is a cycle start/end, spindle on/off, etc. Machine’s serial port is connected to a server via serial-to-LAN converters, over wired or WiFi network. Data is sent to the server, reports are visible on PCs on the local network.
1. Limited to CNC machines that have Fanuc Macro B option or equivalent.
2. Macro B (or equivalent) option costs money.
3. Requires IT infrastructure – cabling, serial or LAN hardware, server, IT personnel.
4. Long installation time because of LAN and RS232 port connections.
5. High capital cost and maintenance cost of network.
6. Requires macro calls to be inserted in every program. Does not work if people forget to insert these, or deliberately do not insert them.
7. High downtime because of variety of equipment involved – cabling, LAN hardware, server. If any of these fails, the system fails. It is also susceptible to sabotage because everything is in the open.
8. Mobility of machines is poor – to move machines within your shop, you’ll also have to rewire the serial connection from the machine and the LAN cabling from the machine to the server. Machine monitoring is down for the duration of this rewiring, which is typically a few days.
Method 2: Send out data through the machine’s ethernet port
E.g., with Fanuc Focas, OPC-UA on Siemens, MTConnect, Haas ethernet, Mitsubishi ethernet. Data is sent out through machine’s ethernet port. Machine’s ethernet port is connected to a server via serial-LAN converters, over wired or WiFi network on shop floor. Data is sent to the server, reports are visible on PCs on the local network, OR Data is sent to the Cloud, reports are visible on internet on PC, tablet or mobile phone.
1. Large variety of data can be acquired – spindle power, FRO status, spindle temperature, etc.
2. Requires machine to have ethernet communcation capability.
3. Long installation time for cabling and LAN infrastructure.
4. High capital cost and maintenance cost of network.
5. Limited to newer machines, typically after 2015.
6. Requires local IT infrastructure – cabling, LAN switches or WiFi access points, server/ internet router
7. Requires a team of IT personnel to maintain the IT infrastructure.
7. High downtime because of variety of equipment involved – cabling, LAN hardware, switches/access points, server, router.
8. Mobility of the system is poor – to move machines within your shop, you’ll also have to rewire the LAN connections to the machine. This can be improved by using WiFi LAN.
Method 3: Monitor status of signals at machine’s relays
This is done through a sensor that tracks digital signal lines from the CNC machine’s PLC. Send the data direct to the Cloud. Hardware sensor reads status of relays to determine cycle start/end, spindle on/off, etc. Sensor directly transmits data to Cloud via mobile phone network. Reports are visible on internet on PC, tablet or mobile phone.
1. Short installation time – 30 minutes typical.
2. No IT infrastructure required, and hence no IT maintenance.
3. No capital and recurring cost of IT infrastructure and maintenance.
4. Works only with machines that have signals on 24V digital outputs.
5. No downtime caused by IT equipment failure.
6. Cannot be sabotaged, because the sensor hardware sits inside the machine control panel with nothing coming outside.
7. Mobility of machines is very high. The sensor hardware moves with the machine, and starts tracking as soon as the machine is powered on in its new location.
8. Can only get on/off type of data – cycle start/ end, spindle start/stop, machine fault. Cannot get program number, feed rate override status, spindle temperature, etc.
Comparison between various methods of CNC machine monitoring
Method 1 is the least preferred, for reasons of cost, installation time, and poor reliability. It is obsolete.
Method 2 gives the most data, but is limited to newer machines and involves LAN connections.
Method 3 involves the lowest cost and installation time and has the highest reliability, but cannot track machine internal parameters.
LEANworx Cloud Industry 4.0 is ideally suited for CNC machine monitoring. It supports both method 2 and method 3.
Peepal trees – the ‘never give up’ trees
Walking under a flyover in Bangalore one hot afternoon, I saw this beautiful sight of a whole lot of vegetation growing from drain pipes that are meant to carry rain water off the road.
The pipes have mud deposited in them from the road and from airborne dust, and the open end of every pipe has a tree or plant growing. Most of these are peepal trees, and I there are a couple of ferns. There were even birds hanging around these little trees. Kind of like a little forest.
The peepal is an extremely hardy tree with beautiful heart shaped leaves, that even grows in cracks in walls. It just requires a bare minimum of nutrients and water to survive. In its natural state it grows up to 30 m. high with a trunk 3 m. in diameter. In constrained environments like these pipes, it gets naturally bonsai-fied.
The peepal is also known as the Bodhi tree, because the Buddha attained enlightenment while meditating under it, in Bodh Gaya in Bihar. It’s actually called Ficus Religiosa for this reason. Strictly speaking, only peepal trees that are direct descendents of the original tree in Bodh gaya can be called Bodhi trees. The peepal is a cousin of a whole lot of other Ficus varieties like the Banyan (Ficus benghalensis) and the tree that bears figs that we eat (Ficus carica).


Telstra announced on Wednesday [subbed] that it has selected Nortel Networks to provide code division multiple access (CDMA) technology for the new national mobile network to replace the old analogue (AMPS) network.
In the project, worth more than $300 million, Nortel Networks will provide DMS-MTX switching as well as advanced base stations including the Nortel Networks CDMA Metro Cell. According to officials, the solution addresses the immediate needs for mobile service as well as providing functionality for future data and multimedia services.
Max Jennies, mobile business development manager, said CDMA technology best suited Telstra's requirements for a network which will be specifically aimed at rural Australia.
According to Jennies, the CDMA network gives country AMPS customers services based on the AMPS network as well as additional features similar to those provided by the digital GSM network.
The new network is scheduled to be operational by December 1999 in order to service analog customers in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane and some non-metropolitan areas which will be with the AMPS network from December 31, 1999. It is estimated that all analog sites will switch to CDMA by December 2000.

Last week blood product company CSL Limited (ASX: CSL) released a huge result for the 2020 financial year. The CSL share price soared on the news. But three things in particular caught me by surprise:
1. CSL was able to avoid major COVID-19 disruption
Collecting plasma from donors is an essential part of producing many of CSL Behring’s products. I was expecting the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic might have a big impact on the company’s performance. However CSL was able to avoid major disruption and says plasma collections only dropped by around 5% compared to the prior financial year.
This was helped somewhat by the opening of 40 new plasma collection centers and a US Food and Drug Administration mandate that reduced plasma quarantine periods from 60 to 45 days. The reduction opened up inventories and improved the availability of essential blood components.
Still, CSL says that COVID-19 restrictions are expected to continue to restrain plasma collections in the 2021 financial year and it expects increased collection costs for plasma in the year ahead.
2. Cash flow from operations rocketed 51%!
Given revenue lifted by a solid 7.2% in the 2020 financial year I was not expecting a huge 51% jump in cash flow from operations. The increase helped to power CSL’s cash balance to US$1.2 billion, up almost 82% on the prior year.
Because CSL has changed to the ‘indirect’ method of reporting cash flows, it can be a little tricky to tell exactly what drove the increase. But essentially, the higher profit result, combined with less cash tied up in working capital and less cash paid out in taxes, helped to lift cash from operations higher.
3. CSL has one of the top CEOs in the world
Earlier this year, I wrote that I think CSL could be one of the best companies in the world. So I shouldn’t have been surprised to discover that CEO Paul Perreault had been named as one of the top 100 CEOs in the world by Harvard Business Review. In fact, he came in a few places ahead of fellow healthcare titan Colin Goldschmidt, CEO of Sonic Healthcare Limited (ASX: SHL).
Paul Perreault has been with CSL since July 2013. CSL’s reported revenues have almost doubled since then, climbing from US$5.1 billion to US$9.2 billion.
With the successful integration of flu vaccine business Seqirus, and continuing success in research and development, it’s no wonder Perreault is considered one of the best.

Bond bears, beware – the risk is building that Treasury yields go even lower.
With yields across maturities reaching the lowest levels since November, and in some cases breaching key technical marks, traders are abandoning bets on higher interest rates. Hedge funds and other large speculators reduced net-short positions in five-year note futures by about 86,000 contracts in the week through April 11, although more than double that amount of net shorts remain, the latest U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show.
The trend shows even the most ardent advocates of higher rates are questioning whether the U.S. Treasuries market moved too swiftly in pricing in prospects of quicker growth and inflation. In the latest round of covering, speculators pared shorts to the lowest since the U.S. election.
While the analysts still expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to hike rates twice more this year, weaker U.S. economic data and international tension involving Russia and North Korea leave them seeing better opportunities to resume the wager in coming weeks.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s weekly client survey for the period ended April 17 showed a decline among all managers in short Treasury positions, matching the lowest level since the election.
For bond bears, there may still be room for a further shake-out. Speculators modestly increased their short position in 10-year Treasury futures and ultralong contracts, CFTC data through April 11 show.
On Tuesday, the 10-year Treasury yield fell as low as 2.163 per cent, breaking through the 50-per-cent Fibonacci retracement level since the election – 2.1769 per cent. The yield rose to 2.205 on Wednesday.
"We have yet to see a full capitulation of the short Treasuries Trump trade," BMO Nesbitt Burns strategists wrote in a note earlier this week.

Located on the Greenwich Peninsula in South East London, England, the exhibition was open to the public from 1 January to 31 December 2000. The project and exhibition was the subject of considerable political controversy as it failed to attract the number of visitors anticipated, with recurring financial problems. All of the original exhibition and associated complex has since been demolished. The dome still exists, however, and it is now a key exterior feature of The O2. The Prime Meridian passes the western edge of the Dome and the nearest London Underground station is North Greenwich on the Jubilee line.


Ecl-ips was recognised as a National Security Inspectorate (NSI) Gold accredited company in August 2019. As part of our accreditation we are subject to regular NSI audits to monitor our continuing compliance.
NSI audits require full compliance with industry standards including elements which are ‘recommended’ codes of best practice. This means our customers can be sure of full compliance to standards, not simply lip service. The audits also assess our quality management system and aim to ensure that we are progressively improving our working practices.
NSI audits are taking place again
During the Coronavirus lockdown all NSI audits were suspended and NSI approvals expiring between 1st March and 31st May 2020 were extended for a limited period unless evidence dictated otherwise. However, NSI restarted its audit programme at the beginning of June and the audit of Ecl-ips is currently being rescheduled.
The NSI was able to begin audits again after government guidance in May that allowed all employers to resume activity in the workplace where appropriate, including professional services that cannot be delivered remotely, such as NSI on-site audits.
NSI said it would use a combination of remote audit and on-site audit capability in accordance with guidelines recently issued to its approved companies. Remote audit could be used at NSI’s discretion for assessing ‘Management System’ requirements, whilst on-site audits would gather evidence of compliance to technical product standards.
Social distancing and other rules are being observed
The accreditation body said it recognised all Government guidance regarding social distancing and health and safety during the pandemic, whilst delivering meaningful certification and approval. This meant the NSI would be putting people first – including its staff, approved companies, and the public.
NSI said that adjustments to audit programmes would be made on a case by case basis as NSI worked proactively with approved companies to ensure audit programmes are fulfilled in a timely fashion. NSI has indicated that when audits find evidence of non-compliances that are COVID-19 related they would be reported in “Auditor Notes” without recourse to raising Improvement Needs and Observations. The NSI’s staff are continuing to work remotely and its head office remains closed.
NSI Chief Executive Richard Jenkins stated: “As the UK continues its easing of lockdown measures the Security and Fire Safety sector is adapting to operate COVID safe environments in line with Government guidance, focusing on the protection and safety of staff, customers and the wider public. As such approved companies will now be in a position to provide NSI with suitable and sufficient evidence to award and maintain approval, through a combination of remote and on-site audits.
“It is clear approved companies are genuinely striving to maintain standards during the pandemic, which NSI will formally be recognising when audits are delivered.”
Ecl-ips is committed to constantly improving its business practices and offering you an improved customer experience and choosing an NSI Gold accredited company gives you peace of mind and could mean you pay lower insurance premiums. We recommend that you take a look at the NSI website which explains exactly why you should choose an NSI Gold company.
Ecl-ips has continued to provide our full portfolio of services
In line with NSI guidance, issued at the end of March, Ecl-ips was able to work on sites during the lockdown in order to provide essential services to our customers. Currently we are able to go on sites to install new, and to maintain, CCTV and access control systems while following the government guidance on working safely during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 22
The Spirit of Christmas Teaches Us That God Is Truly With Us, Guiding Us in Our Life of Faith And Our Intimacy with Him.
In today’s Gospel, we hear from Matthew an echo of a prophecy given to Isaiah some seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means ‘God is with us’” – a prophecy which spoke of a King in fulfillment of the promise God once gave to David, a prophecy which spoke of a Messiah who would come to save God’s people.
“God is with us.”
Today, faithful Christians live their lives of faith believing that God the Father sent His Only-Begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit in a Virgin’s womb, to become one like us in every way, except sin.
We have come to believe that this Jesus of Nazareth, born in a stable in Bethlehem so long ago, is the God-Man who walked amongst us, sat and ate with us, shared in our joys and our sorrows – all the while teaching us about the Divine Nature of God Himself – a compassionate God, one of indescribable Love and limitless Mercy.
But if we could place ourselves back in time in the days of ancient Israel some two thousand years ago and more, we would realize that this idea of God taking upon Himself our flesh and walking amongst us was a concept which was difficult for many of God’s chosen people to understand, much less accept.
It even took an Archangel from Heaven to convince the just and holy Joseph, as Scripture tells us “a righteous man”, that the Baby conceived in Mary’s womb was not the result of human making, but of Divine intervention.
“God is with us.”
In the fullness of time, in the wisdom known only to the mind of God, during a time among the Jewish people who had known persecution and slavery for more than nineteen hundred years at different times throughout their history since the days of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, there were prophecies that an “anointed one” would come to save God’s children from oppression.
But it was not the oppression from man that God’s children would be saved. It was due to the oppression from Original Sin and man’s slavery to the consequences of sin that the “anointed one”, the Christ, would be conceived and born. It was for this purpose that God sent His Son into the world, in the fullness of time, to save His children and to reconcile them to Himself.
And God is still with us today! In the hearts and minds of men and women of every faith persuasion, of every race, color, creed and nationality throughout the world, God’s Spirit continues to dwell within us, guiding us to live our lives as God intended.
Each and every one of us, regardless of our vocation in life, is called to discipleship. We are each called by God to live a just and holy life, a righteous life in imitation of Joseph; we are each called to live a humble and virtuous life in imitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary; but, most importantly, we are each called to live a life of selfless love, compassion and mercy in imitation of Jesus Christ Himself.
For as we read today in Paul’s Letter to the Romans, “Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ; to all the beloved of God…called to be holy.”
And God is truly within each one of us as we reach out to each other with compassion and understanding to all those who suffer from sorrow and loneliness. God is truly within each one of us as we reach out with forgiveness and mercy to all those who have offended us in any way.
For all of these virtues of compassion, mercy and understanding rely upon the greatest virtue of all. And Paul explains it to us in his Letter to the Ephesians, “Be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us…” And in his First Letter to the Corinthians, he writes, “Love is patient, love is kind…(Love) rejoices with the truth.”
Love is that special quality, that special attribute which allows us to emulate the very Nature of God Himself – for love is the highest of all the theological virtues!
To be a Christian people means that we are set apart as a people who embrace the virtue of love in our daily lives. We give witness to our faith by truly showing that God does dwell within us when we, as a people of God, truly care for our brothers and sisters, especially when we give selflessly without any expectation of return.
For each of us to truly live the idea that “God is with us” means that we are to be Christ-like in our every thought and in our every word and deed – especially when life can become most difficult. Our Lord, Himself, gave us the example of what it means to truly love, even in the midst of pain and discouragement, for He loved us without limit even from the Cross, even when His Humanity cried out in despair to His Father and ours.
Our life as a faithful people brings to mind a song which I am sure most of us are familiar, “They will know we are Christians by our love.” And Christmas helps us to better understand the depth of God’s Love for you and me, especially when we contemplate all that His Son has done for each and every one of us.
On this last Sunday of Advent, may we seek intimacy in our life with our God and with each other, for it is the spirit of Christmas which reminds us of God’s Love, and how we are to love selflessly as Christ loves each of us. It is the spirit of Christmas which helps us grow in our relationship with the Divine Child who came to us, so that we may have eternal life with Him – a life filled with love, a life filled with peace and never-ending joy.
Truly, throughout each and every day of our lives, in both good times and bad, in times of joy and sorrow – “God is with us!”
May God bless you, God love you, and may God always keep you. †

The influence of a low-molecular fraction (below 5 kDa) from the cattle cord blood (CBF) on functional activity of phagocytes, human embryonic fibroblasts, mesenchymal stromal cells and BHK-21 clone 13/04 and PK-15 cells was studied. The low-molecular fraction added to culture medium increases the growth rate of cell cultures. The incubation of leukoconcentrate in the CBF-containing medium results in an increase in phagocytic indices of neutrophils in the presence of a phagocytosis inhibitor – sodium iodoacetate, leading to a significant increase in intracellular glucose content and alkaline phosphatase activity as compared to the control and the reference drug Actovegin®.
Key words: cord blood low-molecular fraction, Actovegin®, inhibitors of phagocytosis, leukocytes, glucose, alkaline phosphatase, human embryonic fibroblasts, mesenchymal stromal cells, BHK-21 clone 13/04, PK-15 cells.

Dwyane Wade Says He Found Out LeBron James Was Joining Miami Heat ‘Just Like Everybody Else’
- Updated: April 3, 2019
However, Wade admits to nervously watching “The Decision” and hoping James didn’t have a last-minute change of heart.
“I didn’t know what was going to come out. I was actually a little nervous.” @DwyaneWade says he found out that LeBron was joining the Heat just like the rest of us did.
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) April 3, 2019
“I didn’t know what was gonna come out,” Wade said when asked about watching James announce his decision to sign with Miami. “I was actually a little nervous. Even though going into that we all had left each other from the meeting, me, him, and Chris [Bosh], and we all talked about, ‘OK this is what we gonna do.’
“But also everybody still went back to their home, went back to their family and you don’t know what’s gonna change during that process. Miami was my city so it was easy for me to say, ‘I’m coming back to Miami.’
“But it wasn’t an easy decision for him to make. So I’m sitting there watching just like everybody else. Even though I know a little bit, I haven’t talked to him in like four or five days before that so I don’t know if something changed.”
It’s interesting to hear Wade’s retrospective on the summer of 2010. That summer was a turning point that made Miami the clear favorite in the Eastern Conference.
“Because I knew that we were about to embark on something special,” Wade said. “I didn’t know what it was going to be, but I knew it was about to be something special. I knew there wasn’t gonna be no more first-round exits for me so I was happy about it.”
First-round exits were a thing of the past for the Heat after James and Bosh arrived. Miami’s Big 3 was the dominant force in the NBA for the better part of four seasons and it all started with James’ decision to come to South Florida.

Multiquantum Counting of Trityl Radicals
J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2020, 11, XXX, 6286–6290
Publication Date:July 15, 2020
We demonstrate a series of multitrityl radical compounds where accurate spin-counting by pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) can be achieved at X-band (9 GHz) frequencies, even for molecules with very short and flexible linkers. Multiquantum filter experiments, well-known from NMR, were used to count the number of coupled electron spins in these compounds. The six pulse double quantum filter sequence used in EPR for distance determinations in biradicals was used. Precise phase settings to separate higher quantum coherences were achieved by an arbitrary waveform generator. The trityl radicals have narrow spectral width so that homogeneous excitation of all spins by the pulses is possible. The transversal relaxation times of higher quantum coherences of trityl radicals are sufficiently long to allow their detection. Our results on model compounds show the potential of this approach to determine oligomeric states in protein complexes in their native environment using functionalized trityl spin labels.

US fertilizer producer LSB Industries launches green ammonia project
HOUSTON (ICIS)–US fertilizer producer LSB Industries announced that it has entered into agreements with thyssenkrupp Uhde USA and Bloom Energy to develop a project to produce approximately 30,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year at LSB’s Pryor, Oklahoma facility.
The company said thyssenkrupp Uhde will develop the engineering design to convert a small portion of Pryor’s existing conventional ammonia capacity into green ammonia.
Pending the results of the feasibility study currently underway, and subsequent board approval, the project will be constructed in two phases with the first part having Bloom supplying a 10 megawatt (MW) solid oxide electrolyzer.
This will be followed by the installation of an additional 20MW alkaline electrolyzer unit, which will be sourced from a leading manufacturer.
Bloom will own, operate and maintain the solid oxide electrolyzer that, once in operation, will be the largest of its kind in the world.
Once the second electrolyzer is installed and operational, Pryor will be the largest green ammonia production site in North America.
“We are very excited to partner with Bloom Energy and thyssenkrupp Uhde in taking our first step to becoming a leading supplier of zero carbon or green ammonia in a unique facility that will have two electrolyzer technologies operating side by side. We believe that being an early entrant into the green ammonia space will allow us to become a leading player as the market evolves,” said Mark Behrman, LSB president, and CEO.
“This project is very important for LSB and our partners because, in addition to its initial environmental benefit, it provides a learning opportunity. With two electrolyzer technologies working together in a real-world application, we can learn how to effectively develop projects and operate facilities in this exciting new environment.”
Behrman said the company views this project as their first critical step in becoming a major facilitator and participant in the green ammonia market.
Green ammonia is produced by extracting hydrogen from water using an electrolyzer powered by a renewable energy source, such as solar or wind. Since no natural gas or other fossil fuels are used as the feedstock to the ammonia production process, nor as the power source, the end-product has no associated carbon emissions.
LSB said the green hydrogen produced from the electrolyzers as part of the ammonia production process is expected to qualify for federal incentive programs such as the production and investment tax credits currently under evaluation by the US Congress.

The Data Center Releases New Orleans Youth Index 2016
NEW ORLEANS – The Data Center released The New Orleans Youth Index 2016, providing a statistical snapshot of the well-being of New Orleans children and youth aged 0 to 24. The Index is designed to anchor youth advocates’ work with data that responds to the general question, “How are the children doing now?”
The Index is not driven by a research question. However, it is intended to inspire applied research questions that specifically examine education, health, criminal justice, housing and other systems that have a profound impact on child well-being, Data Center reps said. Based on the Forum for Youth Investment framework, The Youth Index is organized by six distinct but overlapping areas: Economic Stability, Space and Place, Health and Well-Being, Learning, Safety and Justice, and Youth Voice.
When you compare data on New Orleans youth with data for the state of Louisiana and/or the U.S., you will see the intersectional work that is required for youth to have robust communities in which to thrive, Data Center reps said.
• New Orleans’ population of youth age 0 to 19 years old grew from 84,517 in 2010 to 88,850 in 2015. This growth was dominated by increases among the white (up 3,808 from 2010) and Hispanic (up 1,451 from 2010) youth populations and declines among the African American youth population (down 1,638 from 2010). Asian youth population increased by only 54 from 2010 to 2015. As of 2015, New Orleans was home to 60,072 African American youth, 18,948 white youth, 5,346 Hispanic youth and 2,262 Asian youth.
• In 2015, fewer children lived in poverty. In 2015, 36.9 percent of all Orleans Parish children under 18 lived in poverty compared to 28.4 percent of all Louisiana children and 20.7 percent of children nationwide. In 2014, 43.8 percent of New Orleans children under 18 were in poverty compared to 27.9 percent in Louisiana and 21.7 percent nationwide.
• The average net price of the state’s flagship university, Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, was disproportionately higher for students from low-income families in 2014-2015. For families who earned up to $30,000, the net price was at least 17 percent of their income level; whereas, for families who earned $110,000+, the net price was 15 percent or less of their income.
• In 2015, there were a total of 164 murders in New Orleans. Of these, 11 were murders of children younger than 18, and 40 were of young people age 18 to 24. In 2015, 18-24 year olds were only 10 percent of the population, but represented 24 percent of homicide victims, and thus are a disproportionate share of homicide victims in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Youth Index 2016 presents evidence to suggest that master planning, systems reform, and organizational focus are needed to improve current conditions that limit youth’s potential, Data Center reps said. Improving the conditions in which children learn and grow is indeed “village” work, they said. A concerted effort is needed to provide the metaphorical fertilizer, water, and sun that will help our youth reach their highest potential.


The Oxford Amenities MSCP presented a number of additional challenges compared to a ‘standard’ car park. The site was provided by the Main Contractor as a waterproof concrete box two storeys below ground and our car park frame was designed to sit within this box. Approximately 50% of the footprint included four split levels of basement parking and the remaining 50% a working kitchen for the adjacent research facility.
A critical aspect of the design and specification was the waterproofing of the internal loading bay sitting directly above the kitchen. This was completed with a traditional asphalt finish over a high performance MMA waterproofing membrane. The remaining above ground scope was relatively standard split-level construction including a steel frame, Montex precast floor units, pedestrian and vehicle barriers, top deck waterproofing, and precast concrete stair cores with a passenger lift.
The external facades were finished with a twisted aluminium fin system, designed to complement the high-tech nature of the facility and its surroundings.

15 ozricotta cheese, 'strained' (see notes)
8 ozmarscapone cheese
2/3 cpowdered sugar, plus more for dusting, if desired
1 cheavy cream (see notes)
1/2 cmini semisweet chocolate chips (chopped pistachios could also be added)
·drops of oil of cinnamon to taste
How to Make Cannoli Dip
- In a mixing bowl, with a spatula, blend ricotta and marscarpone cheese, pressing against bottom of bowl to smooth mixture. Fold in powdered sugar. In separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add half to ricotta mixture, fold to combine. Add remaining and fold to combine. Add your drops of oil of cinnamon to taste (a drop or two at a time, since it is very strong). Fold in chocolate chips, and pistachios if desired, reserving 1-2 T to garnish. Spinkle on top, dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with graham crackers, strawberries, cannoli chips or fried tortilla chips if desired.
- Note: To strain the ricotta, put it onto a clean white kitchen towel, roll up, twist out all the moisture you can. You may have to do this more than once, as you want it to hold it's shape but not add wetness to dip as it will break it down.
- Note: you can omit the heavy cream if you want, and it will be a little denser and more like what you would pipe into a cannoli shell.
