Celebrating 15 Years of Naturism in the Amazon
Posted bynudescribe August 9, 2018 December 24, 2019 Posted inUncategorizedTags:Americas, education, literature, naturism, nudism, nudity, performance, philosophy, poetry, social media, theater, writing
Naturism in Brazil may not yet be a widely held philosophy, but it does at least have a well-established national federation with clubs and parks that have been around for decades, and new groups still forming. Most of these parks and groups are located in southeastern Brazil, where the majority of the population lives, and in southern Brazil, an area with many people of European heritage. Even though northern Brazil has a strong indigenous presence, with its history of native populations wearing little to no clothing, there is not much recognition of naturism in that region. The shining exception, however, is GRAUNA, a naturist group founded by my friend Jorge Bandeira fifteen years ago in Manaus, capital of Brazil's largest state, Amazonas.
Yours truly with Jorge Bandeira at GRAUNA's
frequent locale in Amazonas state, July 2011
GRAUNA stands for Grupo Amazônico União Naturista, and they are a non-landed club with a regular locale for monthly gatherings a short way outside the city. Bandeira is a theater educator and activist who will occasionally plan cultural events promoting naturism in Manaus, one of Brazil's largest cities. These events have included nude theater performances and happenings, the presentation of poetry and prose on naturism, as well as (clothed) street manifestations. Bandeira has also become a leader not just in Manaus but in Brazil in general in normalizing what naturism means, even while recognizing the irony of having to re-educate a public of considerable indigenous heritage about the benefits of being naked in nature.
Nature-Friendship-Tranquility-Union
-Respect-Equality-Simplicity-Mindfulness-Pride
In late July of this year, to celebrate the group's fifteenth year going strong, Bandeira and other GRAUNA leaders organized events not only at their Amazon forest locale, but also in the center of Manaus, at the Casarão de Idéias cultural center not far from the city's landmark Teatro Amazonas.

15-Year Commemorative events in Manaus

in front of the iconic Teatro Amazonas
The broadsheet announcing the list of commemorative events, seen below, shows speakers such as Bandeira himself along with Pedro Ribeiro, who is the current president of the Brazilian Naturist Federation as well as a major defender of naturist use of Rio de Janeiro's Abricó beach and the founder of an online source of naturist information in Portuguese, Jornal Olho Nu. Another speaker was Waldo Andrade, one of the founders of a relatively new naturist space, Ecovila da Mata in Bahia state, a community that functions with as much ecological responsibility and as little environmental impact, as possible. Other events in the impressive line-up included a photo gallery and book display, film viewings, nude theater, and the presentation of a naturist-themed cordel (popular poetry style) and naturist fanzine.
You can see in the photos below, all used by permission, some of the speakers and attendants, and several representations of the group's logo of a nude couple with the graúna bird, a kind of blackbird native to the area whose name also forms the group's acronym.
Current GRAUNA president Iva Santos,
founder Jorge Bandeira,
current federation president Pedro Ribeiro
In its fifteen years, GRAUNA has had many members and several presidents, and they have all helped Jorge Bandeira lead the way with his extraordinary energy and dedication to naturism. He is the inspiration for one of the characters, and some of the scenes, in my novel Aglow. I continue to look to Bandeira as a paragon of naturism, whose leadership shows clearly in the impressive organization of this commemorative programming. Congratulations, GRAUNA! Parabéns pelos quinze anos de representação naturista ativa! Here's to many more years of naturist presence and advocacy!

There are more than enough sneakers on the Internet, with many retailers stocking similar product, but actually finding the right color and size can be a hassle if someone doesn't have a list of stores to search through. One site is looking to make that process a lot easier. Everysize, a German site, just launched this week and it's streamlining the process of scoring the right pair of shoes in the proper size.
The concept of the site is quite simple: Search for whatever sneaker you're looking for and the site shows how many retailers have the product available and in what sizes. The user can then shop around and choose where they want to make the purchase. As of right now, the site is pooling its data from 14 different online stores in Germany, including known names such as Solebox, Overkill, andAsphaltgold, with plans to launch internationally in January 2016.
The idea of Everysize comes from its co-founder, Pascal Prehn, who's a known name in the German sneaker scene. He previously served as Editor-in-Chief ofSneaker Freaker's German publication, along with being the founder of Sneakerness Germany, one of Europe's biggest sneaker shows.
The site, being based in Germany, still has its fair share of Jordans that are hard to find in the States. As Prehn jokes, "You Americans and your Jordans," but it's a great way for Stateside sneaker fans to get their hands on footwear that has long sold out domestically.
There have been other sites with buy it now links to sneakers, but Everysize is doing things a little differently, and it could make all of the difference.


In today's conflict scenarios such as asymmetric warfare or military operations in urban terrain there is a need for precise handheld weapons, which are designed to meet the various demands of the infantry. Besides the high accuracy properties such as ease of handling, high reliability and a low weight are the most important features of modern handheld weapon systems. Having these circumstances in mind DND realized a new concept for a family of handheld weapon systems. Our rich technological experience from previous weapon developments, such as the very successful Panzerfaust 3 handheld weapon family (Pzf 3), combined with combat experiences from many users have led to the development of the compact size family of RGW 60- and RGW 90 (RGW = Recoilles Grenade Weapon).

Learning models in juvenile justice are traditionally difficult to evaluate. More specifically, the effects of the presence of animals on learning are not well documented. In this regional engagement project between a state university, a state department of juvenile justice and a greyhound adoption agency, female youth in a residential juvenile justice center learn vocational and technical skills while training retired racing greyhounds to become family pets. Through an ongoing series of 12 week learning cycles, greyhounds learn home and obedience skills that may enhance adoption success. In addition to training activities, youth explore animal careers and learn important job skills through classroom and laboratory activities. A daily journal of youth experiences with their greyhounds is utilized to prepare publications of original works. Veterinary Technology students gain proficiency through a service learning curriculum which provides wellness care for the greyhounds and career modeling for the youth. Current findings suggest: improved academic success, increased self-efficacy; 53% decrease in reportable incidents; a decrease in adoption failure and euthanasia of dogs. This study suggests sustainability as a model for other youth facilities.

Q: JAVA classes and objects....what will be in my class For "this line" how will the code be?
I know that for the "2nd part" setName,setWidth, setHeight....will be methods in the Box class...but im stuck on "this line" ...will it be 1 method?
    Box box1 = new Box(string, double , double); //this line

    //2nd part
    Box box2 = new Box(); //i get this part
    Box2.setName(String);
    box2.setWidth(double);
    box2.setHeight(double);

A: Have you created a constructor and declare variables in class Box?
public class Box {

    private double height;
    private double width;
    private String name;

    // constructor for setting those variables
    public Box(double height, double width, String name) {

        this.height = height;
        this.width = width;
        this.name = name;
    }

    // constructor for creating object without setting variables
    public Box() {}
}

And then you can create an object like this:
Box box1 = new Box(20, 10.5, "MyName");
Box box2 = new Box();

A: Box1 is created using a constructor and you are passing in parameters which are used to create the Name, Width and Height fields of the Box object.
With Box2 you are creating the object with the default constructor Box box2 = new Box();and then setting the fields of that object.

A: You need to have a constructor to pass the parameters. I only did the custom constructor, to create your Box2 object you also need a blank constructor.
public class Box {
    public Box(String string, Double double1, Double double2) {
        //Set your variables
    }
    public Box() {
        //This is the standard constructor you use for Box2
    }

    //Specify your methods like setName(String s) etc.
}

Opening energy efficiency to all with inclusive financing
Let's Save Energy
Alliance to Save Energy's Blog
01/25/17 / Holmes Hummel
More than a third of US residents are effectively locked out of financing programs for energy efficiency, especially renters and those homeowners who can neither afford to pay upfront for efficiency upgrades nor take on debt.1 Similar barriers affect businesses that lease their space as well as government agencies with borrowing limits. These financial barriers have vexed efficiency resource developers for decades. So how can these challenges be addressed?
Inclusive financing provides a solution, with potential to break these barriers and quickly scale up investment in energy efficiency. Here's how it works: Utilities offer an opt-in tariff to invest in cost-effective efficiency upgrades and recover those costs on the utility bill for that site with a charge that is less than the estimated savings.
Because the cost recovery charge is less than the estimated savings, the customer benefits from immediate net savings, and once cost recovery is complete, the bill goes down even more as the customer benefits from 100% of the savings from the upgrade.
The charges stay with the meter, allowing renters to move out. The tariff also assures that new customers at that site simply will be notified of the cost recovery for the efficiency upgrades, which results in lower costs than would otherwise be incurred for a similar level of service.
Utility regulators in states including Kansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, and Arkansas have already approved opt-in tariffs for efficiency upgrades. Although only a few leading utilities in each of those states are taking advantage of the opportunity to date, all of their programs are based on the same system, called Pay As You Save® (PAYS®).
At the "Future of Energy Summit" hosted by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, PAYS won a FiRe Award for high-impact innovation, and since then, the explosion of attention has prompted interest among stakeholders in a dozen additional states as well as half a dozen countries.
On-bill loans vs. on-bill tariffed investments
In a U.S. Department of Energy broadcast on current practices in energy efficiency financing, experts at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab underscored that tariffed on-bill financing is distinctly different than on-bill loan programs. Loan programs are typically not open to renters, or to anyone who would not be able to meet the underwriting criteria for the loan they seek. Once the loan is made to the consumer, the debt collection occurs with a charge on the utility bill.
By contrast, with an on-bill tariff based on the PAYS system, the utility makes an investment that is qualified by the cost effectiveness of the upgrade rather than the creditworthiness of the individual customer. Therefore, all customers are eligible regardless of income, credit score, or renter status. The cost recovery charge is capped at 80% of estimated savings, and the charges end if the upgrade fails and is not repaired. Rather than taking on debt, a participating customer agrees to pay the on-bill cost recovery charge until the costs are recovered, which is a shorter period than the useful life of the upgrades.

Rural electric cooperatives have been leading the way on inclusive financing for energy efficiency. Most recently, Ouachita Electric Cooperative launched its HELP PAYS® program, replacing an existing on-bill loan program, called HELP, which had been recognized as a best practice model at the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Summit.
Preliminary analysis of program activity in the first four months showed a strong market response, with investment surging by a factor of 10 compared to an on-bill loan program in the prior year. Ouachita Electric also reported that their inclusive financing program attracted triple the number of participants. And in another benefit of switching from a debt-based on-bill financing program to a tariffed on-bill investment program, they were able to include renters for the first time, with renters accounting for half of the participants in the first four months.
Opportunities ahead
Utilities like Midwest Energy in Kansas and EverSource in New Hampshire have reported that when the utility makes an offer to invest, the majority of customers receiving the offer accept the terms based on the PAYS system. With years of experience in cost recovery, these utilities also report that the rate of cost recovery for the utility is higher than its mainline business, which means their energy efficiency investment portfolio has even lower risk.
If more utilities extend the same opportunity to all customers, more investment capital will flow into energy efficiency upgrades, creating the demand for more work that fuels more jobs. With that additional investment capital, inclusive financing for energy efficiency can also help put us on the path to doubling energy productivity.
Let's work together to make energy efficiency upgrades accessible to all.

Prominent Climate Policy Analysts React to Paris Climate Agreement
Science and economics experts applaud the agreement and point to the next step: taxing carbon pollution
Today negotiators from 195 countries came to a landmark agreement that commits nations to a plan to decrease greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. The Carbon Tax Center, a leading U.S. advocacy group that organized a letter to the Paris negotiators signed by 32 experts including 4 Nobel prize winners, applauds the Paris agreement, while urging governments to adopt national carbon taxes to achieve the ambitious goals in the new agreement.
Carbon Tax Center director Charles Komanoff said, "Now that all nations have committed to reducing emissions, the next step is for each and all to enact and implement transparent and robustly-rising carbon taxes. No other measure can both harmonize individual policies into global ones and scale up renewables and energy efficiency fast enough to avert the worst catastrophic scenarios."
Two notable signers of the letter also reacted to the historic agreement:
"Today's UN agreement shows laudable global concern and ambition to confront the climate challenge. A clear next step is for nations to enact broad, persistent and rising prices on carbon pollution to catalyze efficiency, low-carbon energy investment and innovation," said former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich.
Renowned Harvard Economics professor Martin Weitzman agreed, adding, "British Columbia's popular revenue-neutral carbon tax offers a very good starting point."
Other signers of the letter organized by the Carbon Tax Center include Steven Chu, Nobel Prize-winning physicist and President Obama's first Secretary of Energy; George P. Shultz, President Nixon's Secretary of Labor and President Reagan's Secretary of State; Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz, Thomas Schelling and Kenneth Arrow; founding Congressional Budget Office DirectorAlice Rivlin; Greg Mankiw, chair of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers; and Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center.
View the letter and a complete list of signers here: https://www.carbontax.org/blogarchives/2015/11/29/a-call-to-paris-climate-negotiators-tax-carbon/
The Carbon Tax Center is encouraged by the global momentum emerging from the Paris talks and will continue its work educating policy makers and the public about the need for carbon taxes and the political path that will make them possible.
The Carbon Tax Center launched in January 2007 to give voice to Americans who believe that taxing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is imperative to combat global warming. CTC is a clearinghouse for research, analysis and advocacy to establish a carbon tax as the centerpiece of U.S. policy to combat catastrophic climate change. It has been the leading NGO advocating for carbon taxing as the key to unlocking low- and non-carbon investment and innovation to drive the global energy system away from fossil fuels to renewable wind, sunlight and efficiency.


The size and scale of the Queen Elizabeth Class (QEC) project – delivering the nation's largest warships – is unparalleled. Playing a critical role in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, Babcock International has worked collaboratively to deliver this project over the last decade whilst strengthening our position as the UK's leading naval support provider to the Royal Navy.
With an expected service life of up to 50 years, the aircraft carriers will be highly versatile and potent joint defence assets, able to meet the widest range of tasks around the world. They are the most capable and powerful surface warships ever constructed in the UK.
Utilising our UK wide facilities, and a wealth of specialised knowledge and experience, Babcock has delivered detailed design and whole ship assembly of the QEC from her keel to mast., ensuring this remains one of Babcock's flagship programmes.
With critical components successfully completed across our sites, including cutting edge CAD-based modelling, and design and development of the bow and a number of upper blocks, we have delivered in excess of 10,000 tonnes of manufactured components to Rosyth for assembly, including eight major blocks, 285 sponson units and 61 catwalk units.
The linchpin for weapons development, our Leicester facility has ensured that each vessel's innovative Highly Automated Mechanised Weapons Handling System critically delivers when required. Eighteen state of the art shiplifts, four hanger doors and integrated waste systems – enabling 98% of the vessel's waste to be recycled – have underpinned QEC world class status.
With responsibility for more than 50% of the detailed design, the manufacture of key components and systems and final ship assembly at Rosyth all underpinning the QEC programme, our longstanding engineering heritage is clear to see. With strategically located facilities offering safe, secure docking and first-class marine support and training, we are trusted to deliver some of the world's most challenging naval engineering projects.
HMS Prince of Wales was successfully floated out of the dock at the Babcock Rosyth site. The dry dock was filled with water to allow the carrier to float into the waters of the non-tidal basin for the first time. In a two hour operation, using eight tugs, she was then manoeuvred out of the dock. HMS Prince of Wales is now at J/K berth, where the team will continue to outfit the ship and steadily bring her systems to life in preparation for sea trials in 2019.
HMS Prince of Wales, the second of the Royal Navy's two future flagships being built by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, was officially named during a ceremony in Rosyth by the ship's new sponsor, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Rothesay., Scotland.
HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first QE Class aircraft carrier, set sail from Babcock's Rosyth facilities to commence first stage sea trials off the north-east of Scotland.

While Natalie Portman's new film, Annihilation, does have a diverse cast—including actors Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, and Benedict Wong—it's still being accused of whitewashing two of the characters, played by Portman and Jennifer Jason Leigh. E! reports that Portman's and Leigh's characters in the book trilogy Annihilation is based on (Jeff VanderMeer's Southern Reach) are of Asian and half–Native American descent, respectively—but the actresses themselves are both white. This casting move has outraged several organizations, including Media Action Network for Asian Americans and American Indians in Film and Television, who called out Annihilation earlier this week.
Though Portman heard about this controversy for the first time in a new interview with Yahoo! Entertainment, she admitted that it does, in fact, sound problematic.
"I'm hearing that for the first time. That does sound problematic, but I'm hearing it here first," she said. "We need more representation of Asians on film, of Hispanics on film, of blacks on film, women—and particularly women of color—Native Americans…. I mean, we just don't have enough representation. And also these categories like 'white' and 'nonwhite'—they're imagined classifications but have real-life consequences. I hope that begins to change, because I think everyone is becoming more conscious of it, which hopefully will make change."

Gondola University at The Venetian Las Vegas
Limited to just nine participants a day, The Venetian Las Vegas' new Gondola University is an exciting and unique experience that answers the most-asked question to The Venetian's gondoliers: "How can I become a gondolier?" Open to students ages 13 and up, the program begins with a primer on the history of Venice, the city whose famous aquatic transportation inspired the hotel. Students then learn the ins and outs of piloting a gondola before going through "Rowing 101" and gaining hands-on experience in navigating their own vessel. The day ends with an official Sash and Scarf ceremony that mimics the ritual performed by The Venetian Las Vegas when a new gondolier earns their stripes after training. Graduates will also receive a gondola hat and T-shirt, a souvenir photo and a degree certificate from Gondola University.
The West Rim Drive, Fly, and Float Adventure Tour, by Pink Jeep Tours
A great way to get your family off the Strip for a while is the all-day Pink Jeep Tour to the Grand Canyon. Your day starts with a custom pick-up from your Las Vegas Strip hotel. Tour vehicles come equipped with car seats for children ages six and under and weighing below 60 pounds. Note: Children under two aren't permitted on the tour, as mobility is a necessity for this adventure. As you head toward the Grand Canyon — passing Lake Mead, crossing the Mojave Desert and driving through a Joshua Tree forest — your tour guide will point out some eye-catching views. At your arrival at the Grand Canyon, you'll board a helicopter, which will fly you 4,000 feet down into the canyon before you land and board an excursion boat for a 10-minute ride down the Colorado River.
Once back on land, adventurers are guided to viewpoints of the West rim of the Grand Canyon, where you'll have time to eat an included BBQ lunch. Before departing the Canyon, we suggest purchasing a ticket to the Skywalk experience, where the brave can extend 70 feet out beyond the rim on a glass walkway, seeing the Canyon floor thousands of feet below them. On the ride back to your hotel, tours make a final stop at the Hoover Dam, so have your cameras ready!
Vegas Indoor Skydiving
Not brave enough to jump out of a plane just yet? Vegas Indoor Skydiving has got you covered. Children weighing more than 40 pounds have the opportunity to experience this simulated free fall. Vegas Indoor Skydiving provides even the youngest adrenaline junkie in your family the opportunity to feel like they're flying without ever leaving the building. A 1,000 horsepower motor keeps divers high above the ground in a safe, indoor, vertical wind tunnel with winds reaching up to 120 miles per hour. Every flyer before taking off must attend a training class covering the basics of how to indoor sky dive, which includes proper body position, flight technique and hand communication signals used in the tunnel as well as safety procedures. We recommend wearing athletic gear like tennis shoes and socks for this one; your instructor will provide you with a flight suit, earplugs, goggles and helmet that can be worn over your street clothes.
Ultra Strip Limo Tours by Presidential Limousine
Why shuffle around the crowds of the Vegas strip when you can have a professional take you to the spots you want to see? Treat your kids to a ride they'll never forget: a limo around Las Vegas. This private, three-and-a-half hour night-time tour takes you to all the famous Vegas Strip hot spots, such as The Las Vegas Sign for taking photos; the water, music and light show at the Fountains of Bellagio; the Mirage Volcano Explosion; and the Fremont Street Experience, complete with a laser light and sound show, shops, food and an indoor zip line. Limos are available with anywhere from six to 20 seats (perfect for a family). The ride comes with complimentary water for everyone and champagne for adults.

Q: Passing Variables in an Array I have the code below which is supposed to click and go to each link with the text... What is happening is that $l stays the letter A, and collects the page for A 26x ... Any ideas?
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get($info->website);

my $te = HTML::TableExtract->new();
my @abc = ("A" .. "Z");

foreach my $letter (@abc){

$mech->find_link(text => $letter);

$content = $mech->content();

$te->parse($content);

$table = $te->first_table_found;

$str .= Dumper $table;

$mech->back();
}

A: The problem is that HTMLTableExtract was not getting the new data. Moved the TE initialization into the loop $te->parse($content) was overwriting what it already had.

A: After following a link, you have to go back to the original page to have all the links available again. Just add
$mech->back;

to the end of the loop.

Q: Scala Option Types not recognized in apache flink table api I am working on building a flink application which reads data from kafka
topics, apply some transformations and writes to the Iceberg table.
I read the data from kafka topic (which is in json) and use circe to decode
that to scala case class with scala Option values in it.
All the transformations on the datastream works fine.
Case Class Looks like below
Event(app_name: Option[String], service_name: Option[String], ......)
But when I try to convert the stream to a table to write to iceberg table
due to the case classes the columns are converted to Raw type as shown
below.
table.printSchema()
service_name RAW('scala.Option', '...'),
conversion_id RAW('scala.Option', '...'),
......

And the table write fails as below.
Query schema: [app_name: RAW('scala.Option', '...'), .........
Sink schema: [app_name: STRING, .......

Does flink table api support scala case classes with option values?
https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/dev/datastream/fault-tolerance/serialization/types_serialization/#special-types
I found out that it is supported in datastream at this documentation.
Is there a way to do this in Table API.
Thanks in advance for the help..

A: I had the exact same issue of Option being parsed as RAW and found yet another workaround that might interest you:
TL;DR:
instead of using .get which returns an Option and diligently declaring the return type to be Types.OPTION(Types.INSTANT) which doesn't work, I instead use .getOrElse("key", null) and declare the type as conventional. Table API then recognizes the column type, creates a nullable column and interprets the null correctly. I can then filter those rows with IS NOT NULL.
Detailed example:
For me it starts with a custom map function in which I unpack data where certain fields could be missing:
class CustomExtractor extends RichMapFunction[MyInitialRecordClass, Row] {
  def map(in: MyInitialRecordClass): Row = {
    Row.ofKind(
      RowKind.INSERT,
      in._id
      in.name
      in.times.getOrElse("time", null) // This here did the trick instead of using .get and returning an option
    )
  }
}

And then I use it like this explicitly declaring a return type.
val stream: DataStream[Row] = data
  .map(new CustomExtractor())
  .returns(
    Types.ROW_NAMED(
      Array("id", "name", "time"),
      Types.STRING,
      Types.STRING,
      Types.INSTANT
    )

val table = tableEnv.fromDataStream(stream)
table.printSchema()
// (
//   `id` STRING,
//   `name` STRING,
//   `time` TIMESTAMP_LTZ(9),
// )

tableEnv.createTemporaryView("MyTable", table)

tableEnv
  .executeSql("""
      |SELECT
      | id, name, time
      |FROM MyTable""".stripMargin)
  .print()
// +----+------------------+-------------------+---------------------+
// | op |               id |              name |                time |
// +----+------------------+-------------------+---------------------+
// | +I |              foo |               bar |              <Null> |
// | +I |             spam |               ham | 2022-10-12 11:32:06 |

This was at least for me exactly what I wanted. I'm very much new to Flink and would be curious if the Pros here think this is workable or horribly hacky instead.
Using scala 2.12.15 and flink 1.15.2

A: The type system of the Table API is more restrictive than the one of the DataStream API. Unsupported classes are immediately treated as black-boxed type RAW. This allows objects to still pass the API but it might not be supported by every connector.
From the exception, it looks like you declared the sink table with app_name: STRING, so I guess you are fine with a string representation. If this is the case, I would recommend to implement a user-defined function that performs the conversion to string.

FC Barcelona joins 'TRIANKLE' project to trial regenerative 3D bioprinted ankle implants
Paul Hanaphy November 30th 2020 - 6:22pm 4 0
Spanish football club FC Barcelona's R&D lab, Barça Innovation Hub, has joined the EU-backed 'TRIANKLE' project to help test its upcoming 3D bioprinted cell-restoring ankle implants.
The twelve-strong group of companies, including bioprinting firm CELLINK, is developing collagen-based cell grafts that could reduce patient recovery times by up to 50 percent. In joining the program, Barcelona has now agreed to test the transplants on its amateur squad, with a view to optimizing their performance, and preparing them for a future commercial release.
"CELLINK is thrilled to be a part of the TRIANKLE project and contribute to unlocking the potential of innovative 3D printing technology for regenerative medical applications," stated CELLINK. "Launching this technological platform will enable the development of future regenerative therapies for joint tissues in weight-bearing joints."

Has project TRIANKLE got the winning formula?
The TRIANKLE project is a subset of the wider European Horizon 2020 program, an €80 billion scheme that provides additional funding to promising areas of research. Horizon's €5.9 million TRIANKLE program, which is due to start next year, will see its members develop therapies that accelerate the recovery of ankle joint tissues.
The group's twelve members, including scientists from Leitat Technological Center and Fraunhofer IGB, have already identified the need for alternative ankle remedies. According to the group, current therapies fail to return tissues to full functionality, meaning that those with tendon or cartilage injuries often suffer from recurrences.
Using 3D bioprinting, the group is now developing personalizable implants, that are designed to address the drawbacks of common tendon-related treatments. The consortium estimates that utilizing an enhanced hydrogel, recovery times could be reduced by up to 50 percent, and the functionality of injured tissues improved by 10-15 percent.
The TRIANKLE consortium includes 12 3D printing companies, research institutes and non-profits. Image via CELLINK.
Barcelona's role in the project will be to perform preclinical assessments of the implants by testing them on its amateur athletes and retired former players. As a result, Barcelona may be trialling the new hydrogel on its squad, but don't expect superstars like Lionel Messi to be receiving additive treatments any time soon.
However, the project's goal isn't just to reduce the club's injury list, but to unlock 3D bioprinting technology's potential, and drive its wider adoption. Given that treating osteoarthritis costs €76.5 billion a year alone, the TRIANKLE consortium estimates that its hydrogel could generate significant cost savings within clinical settings.
Elsewhere in the Horizon program, Barcelona is also installing an innovative 'IOTwins' system at its Nou Camp stadium. Using an Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, the Spanish club will be able to analyse the way people move around the ground, and optimize the way in which this is managed.

CELLINK's bioprinting involvement
Although it's currently unclear which TRIANKLE member will actually produce the new hydrogel, CELLINK's involvement is a major coup for the project. Having been allocated €622,000 of the program's funding, the firm will at least play some role in the product's development, bringing a wealth of bioprinting experience with it.
CELLINK is a global life-science business that has over 1,000 labs, and provides 3D bioprinting technologies, products, and services to clients in 55 countries. The firm's current line of systems, which feature its Clean Chamber Technology, include the SLA-based Holograph X, dual-extrusion INKREDIBLE and six-printhead BIO X6.
Recently, the company signalled its intent to expand on its markets via the acquisition of 3D printing firm Scienon, and its involvement in TRIANKLE fits into this broader strategy. CELLINK's materials range also includes several tissue engineering kits that could form a basis for TRIANKLE's new ankle-regenerating hydrogel.
What's more, the firm's extensive machine portfolio and client base could provide an ideal platform on which the program can build. However, as important as CELLINK's involvement could be, it should also be noted that bioprinting is not highly commercialized, and the technology is thought to be years away from end-usage.
Existing additive ankle-joint applications
Although ankle tissue implants remain at an experimental stage, some firms have managed to 3D print polymeric orthotics, to aid those with foot-related injuries.
3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems, recently received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its additive manufactured Vantage Ankle PSI surgical ankle instrument. The patient specific device, which was developed alongside surgical firm Exactech, is designed to facilitate the bone-shortening direct-osteotomy procedure.
3D printing specialist Ricoh 3D has worked with medics at The Orthotic Research & Locomotor Assessment Unit to fabricate a lever-hinge mechanism for ankle-foot orthotics. The collaboration also yielded ISO 13485 certification for the firm, recognizing its quality management capabilities within the medical industry.
Students at Gonzaga University, meanwhile, have developed a new approach to producing Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO). Using a combined 3D printing and scanning technique, the team were able to remove the trial and error from the prototyping process, and reduce the part's associated lead times.

By KATHY GANNON
LAHORE, Pakistan — Page after page, the names stack up: 629 girls and women from across Pakistan who were sold as brides to Chinese men and taken to China. The list, obtained by The Associated Press, was compiled by Pakistani investigators determined to break up trafficking networks exploiting the country's poor and vulnerable.
The list gives the most concrete figure yet for the number of women caught up in the trafficking schemes since 2018.
But since the time it was put together in June, investigators' aggressive drive against the networks has largely ground to a halt. Officials with knowledge of the investigations say that is because of pressure from government officials fearful of hurting Pakistan's lucrative ties to Beijing.
The biggest case against traffickers has fallen apart. In October, a court in Faisalabad acquitted 31 Chinese nationals charged in connection with trafficking. Several of the women who had initially been interviewed by police refused to testify because they were either threatened or bribed into silence, according to a court official and a police investigator familiar with the case. The two spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared retribution for speaking out.
At the same time, the government has sought to curtail investigations, putting "immense pressure" on officials from the Federal Investigation Agency pursuing trafficking networks, said Saleem Iqbal, a Christian activist who has helped parents rescue several young girls from China and prevented others from being sent there.
"Some (FIA officials) were even transferred," Iqbal said in an interview. "When we talk to Pakistani rulers, they don't pay any attention. "
Asked about the complaints, Pakistan's interior and foreign ministries refused to comment.
Several senior officials familiar with the events said investigations into trafficking have slowed, the investigators are frustrated, and Pakistani media have been pushed to curb their reporting on trafficking. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they feared reprisals.
"No one is doing anything to help these girls," one of the officials said. "The whole racket is continuing, and it is growing. Why? Because they know they can get away with it. The authorities won't follow through, everyone is being pressured to not investigate. Trafficking is increasing now."
He said he was speaking out "because I have to live with myself. Where is our humanity?"
China's Foreign Ministry said it was unaware of the list.
"The two governments of China and Pakistan support the formation of happy families between their people on a voluntary basis in keeping with laws and regulations, while at the same time having zero tolerance for and resolutely fighting against any person engaging in illegal cross-border marriage behavior," the ministry said in a statement faxed Monday to AP's Beijing bureau.
An AP investigation earlier this year revealed how Pakistan's Christian minority has become a new target of brokers who pay impoverished parents to marry off their daughters, some of them teenagers, to Chinese husbands who return with them to their homeland. Many of the brides are then isolated and abused or forced into prostitution in China, often contacting home and pleading to be brought back. The AP spoke to police and court officials and more than a dozen brides — some of whom made it back to Pakistan, others who remained trapped in China — as well as remorseful parents, neighbors, relatives and human rights workers.
Christians are targeted because they are one of the poorest communities in Muslim-majority Pakistan. The trafficking rings are made up of Chinese and Pakistani middlemen and include Christian ministers, mostly from small evangelical churches, who get bribes to urge their flock to sell their daughters. Investigators have also turned up at least one Muslim cleric running a marriage bureau from his madrassa, or religious school.
Investigators put together the list of 629 women from Pakistan's integrated border management system, which digitally records travel documents at the country's airports. The information includes the brides' national identity numbers, their Chinese husbands' names and the dates of their marriages.
All but a handful of the marriages took place in 2018 and up to April 2019. One of the senior officials said it was believed all 629 were sold to grooms by their families.
It is not known how many more women and girls were trafficked since the list was put together. But the official said, "the lucrative trade continues." He spoke to the AP in an interview conducted hundreds of kilometers from his place of work to protect his identity. "The Chinese and Pakistani brokers make between 4 million and 10 million rupees ($25,000 and $65,000) from the groom, but only about 200,000 rupees ($1,500), is given to the family," he said.
The official, with years of experience studying human trafficking in Pakistan, said many of the women who spoke to investigators told of forced fertility treatments, physical and sexual abuse and, in some cases, forced prostitution. Although no evidence has emerged, at least one investigation report contains allegations of organs being harvested from some of the women sent to China.
In September, Pakistan's investigation agency sent a report it labeled "fake Chinese marriages cases" to Prime Minister Imran Khan. The report, a copy of which was attained by the AP, provided details of cases registered against 52 Chinese nationals and 20 of their Pakistani associates in two cities in eastern Punjab province — Faisalabad, Lahore — as well as in the capital Islamabad. The Chinese suspects included the 31 later acquitted in court.
The report said police discovered two illegal marriage bureaus in Lahore, including one operated from an Islamic center and madrassa — the first known report of poor Muslims also being targeted by brokers. The Muslim cleric involved fled police.
After the acquittals, there are other cases before the courts involving arrested Pakistani and at least another 21 Chinese suspects, according to the report sent to the prime minister in September. But the Chinese defendants in the cases were all granted bail and left the country, say activists and a court official.
Activists and human rights workers say Pakistan has sought to keep the trafficking of brides quiet so as not to jeopardize Pakistan's increasingly close economic relationship with China.
China has been a steadfast ally of Pakistan for decades, particularly in its testy relationship with India. China has provided Islamabad with military assistance, including pre-tested nuclear devices and nuclear-capable missiles.
Today, Pakistan is receiving massive aid under China's Belt and Road Initiative, a global endeavor aimed at reconstituting the Silk Road and linking China to all corners of Asia. Under the $75 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project, Beijing has promised Islamabad a sprawling package of infrastructure development, from road construction and power plants to agriculture.
The demand for foreign brides in China is rooted in that country's population, where there are roughly 34 million more men than women — a result of the one-child policy that ended in 2015 after 35 years, along with an overwhelming preference for boys that led to abortions of girl children and female infanticide.
A report released this month by Human Rights Watch, documenting trafficking in brides from Myanmar to China, said the practice is spreading. It said Pakistan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, North Korea and Vietnam have "all have become source countries for a brutal business."
"One of the things that is very striking about this issue is how fast the list is growing of countries that are known to be source countries in the bride trafficking business," Heather Barr, the HRW report's author, told AP.
Omar Warriach, Amnesty International's campaigns director for South Asia, said Pakistan "must not let its close relationship with China become a reason to turn a blind eye to human rights abuses against its own citizens" — either in abuses of women sold as brides or separation of Pakistani women from husbands from China's Muslim Uighur population sent to "re-education camps" to turn them away from Islam.
"It is horrifying that women are being treated this way without any concern being shown by the authorities in either country. And it's shocking that it's happening on this scale," he said.
Associated Press writers Munir Ahmed and Shahid Aslam in Islamabad contributed to this report.

Available by prescription only, oxycodone ER (OxyContin®) is a medication used to treat moderate-to-severe pain. This painkiller is a strong narcotic that should not be used to treat mild or short-term pain. It comes in the form of extended-release tablets and is typically taken twice a day.
Although the drug is generally well tolerated, it is not suitable for everyone. Constipation, drowsiness, and nausea are some of the most commonly reported side effects. Before using oxycodone ER, make sure your healthcare provider has up-to-date information on your medical history and a list of your current medications. In particular, let your healthcare provider know if you have problems such as liver disease, low blood pressure, or a history of drug or alcohol abuse.

Willowdale residents were in for a treat at the weekend when Sydney Kings centre Jordan Hunter stopped by to celebrate the official opening of the Denham Court community's new park. The new park, opened on Saturday, July 6, features a basketball court, playground and picnic area. Mr Hunter recently joined the Kings after wrapping up a successful NBA career in the US. He took time out to shoot some hoops with locals taking part in the opening frivolity. Stockland general manager of residential communities (NSW) Richard Rhydderch said hundreds of Willowdale residents attended the opening. "We were delighted that Jordan was among the first to use our new basketball court and particularly honoured to have the support of Campbelltown councillors on site to perform the official opening of our fifth park," he said. "The collaborative effort between both Stockland and Campbelltown council has not only made this park possible but has also been a key to making Willowdale a wonderful place to live. "Our neighbourhood parks are an essential ingredient in creating a healthy and happy community. "These public spaces provide a fantastic opportunity for residents to connect with neighbours, while promoting an active outdoor lifestyle." Campbelltown mayor George Brticevic said the new green space was a valued bonus for the residents of the greater Campbelltown community. "It's fantastic to see this wonderful playground open and ready for the community to use," he said. "Facilities such as this are vital in a community like Willowdale so the many young families that live here have a place to socialise, play and relax. "I'm really pleased to see the natural shade cover that has been incorporated into the design of this park. "Trees in our public spaces give families a place to cool down and relax, particularly in the hot summer months."

Twelve Oaks is a place where comprehensive addiction treatment meets beachside living. Most days begin with a nutritious breakfast and meditation.
The morning is dedicated to small group therapy sessions, which help patients delve into the issues underlying their drug or alcohol addiction. Individuals struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction free pain management participate in additional therapies and specialized groups with counselors who are experts in this area.
We strive to make Twelve Oaks more than a drug rehab facility, but also each patient's home away from home. Our facility operates like a town, with an elected patient serving as mayor and town hall meetings each morning. We encourage patient feedback and suggestions so that our "town" remains a safe, comfortable place for patients to do the hard work of addiction recovery.
Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Cocaine Anonymous meetings take place on-campus most evenings, as well as optional relapse prevention and process groups. Twelve-Step meetings and group therapy continue on weekends, along with recovery-related movies, recreational activities and religious services for those who wish to attend.
During their free time, patients may go for a walk on the beach, work out in our fitness room, board games, or play volleyball on the beach. Patients may also buy personal items and special treats at the OakMart, our campus store.
At 11 p.m., the lights go out as patients enjoy a restorative night's sleep in preparation for another powerful day of recovery.
Our drug rehab center operates like a town, with an elected patient serving as mayor and town hall meetings each morning. During these meetings, patients gather to address any issues affecting the community.
Lectures educate patients about the disease of addiction, the 12-Step process, anger management, self-esteem, drug cravings, relapse prevention and other recovery-related topics. Speakers include our therapists, medical director, and individuals from other outside organizations.
A recreational therapist hosts this group designed to promote health and wellness, rebuild social skills, and develop skills for independent living providing alternatives for "sober fun".
Established by patients, this optional group allows patients to discuss issues and offer support and feedback in an effort to help each other stay clean and sober.
