Baker Creek Preserve: One of Knoxville's Best MTB Trails
A mountain biker launches off the wall ride on the Devil's Racetrack at Baker Creek Preserve in Knoxville. . Clay Duda
From the top of Pappy's Point, you can just see downtown Knoxville's skyline peeking above the lush green waves of rolling hills to the northwest. It's an odd sight for a place that feels so removed, but it's a quick reminder that—even here, surrounded by towering pines and the incessant chirping of songbirds in the heart of the city's Baker Creek Preserve—you're just a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle.
About a half-dozen mountain bikes line the ridge, but they didn't come for the views. The riders are here to press their luck and test their skills on the Devil's Racetrack, an ominous yet apt title given to the most challenging trail in the park—a mile-long, double black diamond downhill gravity trail packed with jumps, rollers, banks, and an intimidating rock garden. Three bikers pedal off the starting hill, one behind the other, hitting the first obstacle with the grace that comes with experience. They each launch off the 50-foot-long wall ride jutting from the hillside, kicking a tire to the side, and sending small tufts of dust swirling into the air above the skyscrapers in the distance.

This is the crown jewel of Baker Creek Preserve, a newly developed natural area in South Knoxville with seven miles of hiking and biking trails, tying into 42 miles of trails that make up the Urban Wilderness crisscrossing the south city. The Devil's Racetrack is quite possibly the most technically difficult, developed gravity trail in East Tennessee, and also one of the most accessible. Located just three miles outside of downtown Knoxville, you don't even have to leave the city limits to ride it (not to be confused with Devil's Race Track in Caryville, a popular climbing destination).
Fortunately, for those who don't fancy themselves as pro-level bikers, Baker Creek also has a plethora of less death-defying offerings packed into its 100-acre campus, including hiking, walking, and biking trails for all skill levels.
Bring the Whole Family
Although designed primarily with mountain bikers in mind, Baker Creek Preserve has offerings for just about everyone, from toddlers to adrenaline junkies, on bike or on foot. Dad wants to get some bugs in his teeth? Send him hurtling down the Barn Burner. Little Jimmy hates the woods? Let him kick it on the "adventure playground" or relax in the shade near the trailhead. Lisa's training for her next cross-country bout? She can run circles around the 100-acre preserve, or make a short 10-mile loop through the Urban Wilderness connection. To add icing to the offerings, getting to Baker Creek is super convenient thanks to its close proximity to downtown, meaning more ambitious outdoorsy folks don't even need a car to access it.
Maps at the trailhead layout the flow of things, and it's worth taking a look before you set out into the this intown wilderness. Three trails are designated specifically for mountain bikers, and you don't want to find yourself hoofing it up the wrong direction along one of those high-speed, downhill lines. The three downhill runs have been developed with different skill levels in mind: beginner (Cruz Valley Run), intermediate (Barn Burner), and expert (Devil's Racetrack). The idea is to give easy access to a variety of obstacles and scenarios that will help build a rider's confidence and skill, a setup local boosters hope will help more people catch the biking bug and add to the growing local scene.

"It's rare to find the variety, diversity, and quality of trail in the heart of a city that we have here in Knoxville," Matthew Kellogg, president of the Appalachian Mountain Bike Club, said in a statement announcing the new trails. "To have a virtually flat, beginner trail alongside a downhill trail that features a nearly vertical 50' wall ride, tables, gaps, and challenging rock line is such a unique destination. It makes it incredibly easy for riders to progress from beginner ride to extreme rides right on the same property."
Five other trails welcome hikers and bikers alike. They range in length from about half a mile (Pappy's Way) to 1.6 miles (Red Bud Crest). Don't let the short distances fool you—there's always an option to take the bridge over Red Bud Road and continue onto the Urban Wilderness trails exploring South Knoxville, or loop back along other footpaths within the preserve. Take on the vertical challenge of Pappy's Way, a wide gravel climb to the summit of Pappy's Point and the start of the Devil's Racetrack. The trek up offers glimpses at different portions of the Racetrack, even passing under a wooden table-top jump and following along the rock garden for a short ways. At the top, the views of the city and brazenose of the bikers make it worth the effort.
When A Community Comes Together

Baker Creek Preserve likely would never have happened without donations and support from the Knoxville community. The city rallied to earn a grant for the construction of the Devil's Racetrack, and even managed to crash a corporate computer server in the process.
Construction of the Devil's Racetrack was funded by a $100,000 grant from Bell Helmet. Knoxville's submission for the money won by popular vote, receiving more than 26,000 votes online, which overloaded Bell's website and servers, taking it offline for several hours. It beat out other prominent outdoor destinations such as Asheville, NC and San Francisco to earn the prize money—no small feat for a scruffy East Tennessee town!
"We never saw anything like it," Bell Helmet rep Jessica Klodnick said at the trail's ribbon cutting. "We lost e-commerce for a day [when the website crashed], but it was great."
The rest of the preserve's development has been spearheaded by Legacy Parks, the masterminds behind the Urban Wilderness, and funded with a $200,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Conservation. To top it off, even the 100 acres of park land was donated, a gift from the Wood family who wanted to see it turned into a recreation hub for the community.
Mission accomplished, now go ride.

Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ ist ein lutherisches Kirchenlied aus der Reformationszeit. Der Text wird Johannes Agricola zugeschrieben; lange galt er als Werk von Paul Speratus. Der Komponist der  ist unbekannt; sie erschien erstmals, zusammen mit dem Erstdruck des Textes, in einer Hagenauer Liedersammlung von 1526/27. Im Evangelischen Gesangbuch steht das Lied unter der Rubrik Rechtfertigung und Zuversicht (Nr. 343).

Form
Die Strophenform ist einmalig, sie begegnet bei keinem anderen Lied. Jede Strophe besteht aus acht jambischen und einer trochäischen Zeile (der siebten). Das metrische Schema ist:

Das Reimschema ist .

Auffällig ist, dass in den älteren Drucken das Reimschema nicht in allen Strophen durchgehalten, in der EG-Fassung jedoch überall hergestellt ist.

Inhalt
Die fünf Strophen sind das Gebet eines Einzelnen zu Jesus Christus. Leben gemäß dem Wort Jesu (Strophe 1), Bewahrung in der Hoffnung bis zur Todesstunde (Strophe 2), Vergebung, Kraft zum Vergeben und Stärkung im Unglück (Strophe 3), beständiges Vertrauen auf die unverdienbare göttliche Gnade (Strophe 4) und Schutz in Versuchung und Anfechtung (Strophe 5) sind die Inhalte der Bitte. Das Gebet schließt mit dem Bekenntnis: "Ich weiß, du wirst's nicht lassen."

Heutiger Text
1. Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ,
ich bitt, erhör mein Klagen;
verleih mir Gnad zu dieser Frist,
lass mich doch nicht verzagen.
Den rechten Glauben, Herr, ich mein,
den wollest du mir geben,
dir zu leben,
meim Nächsten nütz zu sein,
dein Wort zu halten eben.

2. Ich bitt noch mehr, o Herre Gott –
du kannst es mir wohl geben –,
dass ich nicht wieder werd zu Spott;
die Hoffnung gib daneben;
voraus, wenn ich muss hier davon,
dass ich dir mög vertrauen
und nicht bauen
auf all mein eigen Tun,
sonst wird's mich ewig reuen.

3. Verleih, dass ich aus Herzensgrund
den Feinden mög vergeben;
verzeih mir auch zu dieser Stund,
schaff mir ein neues Leben;
dein Wort mein Speis lass allweg sein,
damit mein Seel zu nähren,
mich zu wehren,
wenn Unglück schlägt herein,
das mich bald möcht verkehren.

4. Lass mich kein Lust noch Furcht von dir
in dieser Welt abwenden;
beständig sein ans End gib mir,
du hast's allein in Händen;
und wem du's gibst, der hat's umsonst,
es mag niemand erwerben
noch ererben
durch Werke deine Gunst,
die uns errett' vom Sterben.

5. Ich lieg im Streit und widerstreb,
hilf, o Herr Christ, dem Schwachen;
an deiner Gnad allein ich kleb,
du kannst mich stärker machen.
Kommt nun Anfechtung her, so wehr,
dass sie mich nicht umstoße;
du kannst machen,
dass mir's nicht bringt Gefähr.
Ich weiß, du wirst's nicht lassen.

Melodie und Bearbeitungen

Die ruhige, weitgehend syllabische Melodie scheint für den Text komponiert zu sein. Der dorische Modus ist durch zweimalige Berührung des 'b' – besonders ausdrucksvoll auf "Klagen" und "verzagen" in Strophe 1 – an d-Moll angenähert und hellt sich in den Zeilen 5 und 8 nach F-Dur auf.

Entsprechend seiner einstigen Bedeutung ist das Lied im Barock vielfach bearbeitet worden, z. B. von Dietrich Buxtehude (BuxWV 196), Johann Pachelbel (mehrere) und Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck. Johann Sebastian Bach legte den vollständigen Text seiner gleichnamigen Choralkantate BWV 177 zugrunde. Seine expressiv harmonisierte dreistimmige f-Moll-Bearbeitung im Orgelbüchlein () war ein Lieblingsstück der Romantik und gehört bis heute zu den Favoriten der Orgelschüler und Konzertprogramme. Auch in dem Film Solaris von Andrei Tarkowski von 1972 findet die Orgelversion in einer romantisierenden Szene der Schwerelosigkeit Verwendung.

Structuring marketing efforts with campaign, are you doing it?
As recently as Tuesday, I had a discussion with the HR manager about how we could improve our visibility. All this in order to help recruitment. To simplify our efforts, I proposed that we work by campaign. For example, we would have one on promoting our values, another on culture, and a third on internal activities. The manager found the whole thing interesting, while indicating that it would help her brainstorming.
Actually, this way of structuring my reflections as a marketer has quietly inserted itself into my work methods. Thinking in a way that lets you gather ideas under a bigger theme is really a simpler way to function and focus marketing efforts.
In this article, I will cover the reasons why reflection by campaign is an asset to put in place.
What do I mean by the word campaign?
The term campaign comes directly from the world of communication. More precisely, it is the advertising agencies that have used it for a while now. In the same year, a company can set up several advertising campaigns that will cover multiple topics. These can also change each year, depending on the brand's goals.
Thus, these major themes have different objectives, and therefore require a very different deployment. This makes sense, since an advertising campaign can be televised, mobile, web or graphic (ex: posters) but continues to share a common line of communication.
By remembering that a campaign is a series of different activities in nature, which share the same objective (or objectives), and the same communication axis, we can totally use it for marketing.
As in advertising, marketing touches on several communication channels. Let's name emails, social media, webinars, offline events, downloadable resources, forums, and more. In fact, there are so many that the need to set up campaigns becomes paramount.
This way of thinking about marketing communications fits directly into the need to be multichannel (different from omnichannel, which referenced all the business channels at the same time). A campaign can then be deployed on the channels that are most appropriate to it, while keeping a clear line between the other elements of the campaign.
For me, this is the best way I have to evaluate the touchpoint to develop according to the topics that are important to me at different time.
Although the previous point has a lot to do with communication, campaign thinking can happen far upstream, especially in strategic thinking. For example, a marketing exercise could determine 5 focus campaigns for the year.
These 5 campaigns could vary between the visibility of the brand, the development of a new service offer, the increase of sales of a BU, etc. In addition to the communication aspects of it, a strategic campaign has to incorporate other areas, including marketing research, the assignment of resources, the selection of employees who will take charge, etc.
This last aspect seems important for me to develop. Indeed, I find that assigning a campaign to a team or a person is easier. They have the responsibility to develop sub-campaigns that keep the same method explained above. They are the leaders in thinking about deployment, resources, and strategic and tactical choices to be made.
Working by campaign helps to stay relevant. It is possible to easily adopt the trends that are coming, and not to follow those that leave. It is also a way to insert new elements in a structured way. This is done based on existing efforts (is there an existing place for a new item ?) or by creating a new campaign (should we create a new place for this item ?).
Having several small projects running at the same time can become difficult to track. It is less so when you look at a " bigger picture ". This is actually what campaign planning is all about. In my opinion, the performance evaluation is much simpler.
For example, instead of looking at a channel as a whole, like social media, you look at it in one aspect. Since some channels are useful for some type of actions, but not for others, avoid putting them in the same boat. So we couldn't say that social media is bad for all communications. We would rather say that a single social media is particularly interesting for recruiting, but not for sale type promotion. These findings are possible only if we target what we want to know!
These elements can also evolve over time. If we go back to the HR objective mentioned before, I do not think a campaign on corporate culture will die. However, it will definitely change over the years. As a result, it is the actions and content inside the campaign that will change, but probably not its overall objectives.
All of this makes it much easier for marketing teams to keep up with the efforts, and to take ownership of the success of the campaigns assigned to them.
To plan by campaign, you have to be well organized. There are always several in progress. Some will last a few days, or weeks, while others will be continuous. It is necessary to know how to dose in frequency, and also by channel.
My best advice is to use a marketing calendar that allows you to clearly visualize the actions of the week, and even the month. Although there are several calendar tools available out there, the best alternative would be if it could connect to your marketing tools. No need to enter everything manually, since things are automatically inserted.
This is the project that Dialog Insight has been working on for a couple of months. On October 25, the Calendar feature went live. I have been using it in beta mode for a while now, and I consult it every day. This is to say how much I find it useful for my planning.
What I want to say is that I can easily manage my multichannel campaigns. At a glance, I can see upcoming actions (SMS, web and mobile push notifications, contests, landing pages, etc.). In addition, all these elements are automatically integrated in the calendar, since they are scheduled from Dialog Insight itself. It's also possible to plan future actions, such as an email, and then edit it at a later time, closer to the sending date.
In parallel, I can also add actions manually, like the events I'm going to participate in. Finally, visual elements can differentiate actions, such as colors and shapes. You can also manage different views of your activities based on criteria available in the platform.
For me, working with such a timely schedule makes it much easier to do the planning work on a monthly basis. I can manage my sending frequencies more easily, and avoid sending too much communication. Thus, it prevents me from falling into the trap of doing silo marketing!
Campaign thinking is a high-level topic, I know. You may even do it unconsciously. I still hope this article has opened you to a way of structuring marketing in a more orderly way.
If you are a Dialog Insight user, think about your next actions in terms of campaign. First, think about the goals, then the content and channels to select (mobile and web push, emails, interceptors, etc.) now available in the platform. You'll have much better results, I'm sure!

Number of pupils off school in England due to Covid almost triples in a week
Absences are at their highest level since schools fully reopened in March

Teaching unions have expressed their concern at rising case numbers (Image: Anthony Devlin/Getty Images)
The number of pupils missing class due to Covid-19 has nearly tripled in a week, worrying new figures show.
Absences in England are at their highest rate since schools fully reopened to children in March - with at least 239,000 state school pupils (3.3 per cent) out of school on June 17, the Mirror reports.
This compares to 1.2 per cent the previous week, according to Department for Education figures.

In secondary schools, only 84.9 per cent of kids were in class last week, down from 88.7 per cent, while 93 per cent of primary pupils attended, down from 95.1 per cent on June 10.
And the number of pupils self-isolating due to a potential Covid contact in the school quadrupled in just one week, from 40,000 on June 10 - the week after half-term - to 172,000 children on June 17.
Northamptonshire adds 30 coronavirus cases to total in latest figures
Couple who met during pandemic get engaged
The vast majority of pupils were absent due to risk of contact in school rather than outside of it, prompting concern from teaching unions about what can be done to keep classrooms safe.
Geoff Barton, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "These statistics show a large and extremely worrying increase in the number of children absent from school for Covid-related reasons.
"It means that many pupils and schools are experiencing yet more disruption after more than a year of turbulence and it is a grim way to reach the closing stages of the school year."
Teachers have no choice but to "hang on until the end of term", he said.
Mr Barton added: "However, the government must think urgently about how to reduce educational disruption in the next academic year after the summer holidays."
Paul Whiteman, general secretary of headteachers' union NAHT, said the figures were a sign of the pressure schools are under.
"Schools are continuing to work incredibly hard to ensure that all the safety arrangements recommended by government remain in place," he said.
"However, we can see that case numbers are continuing to rise amongst children and teenagers and so it is essential that local public health teams are given the freedom to react quickly and put additional precautions in place where this is necessary - seeking central government approval for such action only risks delaying the necessary measures being put in place."
A Government spokesperson said: "Schools across the country continue to have robust protective measures in place, including regular twice weekly testing to break chains of transmission and keeping pupils in smaller group bubbles.
"We are also taking additional measures in areas where there is a high prevalence of the virus, including increasing the availability of testing for staff, pupils and families and working with directors of public health on further measures to reduce local transmission. Absence in schools continues to reflect wider community transmission.
"Where students have to self-isolate, schools are providing high-quality remote education."

Potential Patriots trade target Calvin Ridley suspended through at least 2022 season for betting on NFL games

It seems that trading for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will not be among the New England Patriots' offseason moves. As was announced by the NFL on Monday, Ridley has been suspended indefinitely but through at least the 2022 season.
The suspension stems from Ridley betting on NFL games during the 2021 season. According to a press release, the 27-year-old bet on games over the course of a five-day period last November. However, an investigation found "no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way."
League commissioner Roger Goodell released the following statement on the suspension:
There is nothing more fundamental to the NFL's success — and to the reputation of everyone associated with our league — than upholding the integrity of the game. This is the responsibility of every player, coach, owner, game official, and anyone else employed in the league. Your actions put the integrity of the game at risk, threatened to damage public confidence in professional football, and potentially undermined the reputations of your fellow players throughout the NFL.
For decades, gambling on NFL games has been considered among the most significant violations of league policy warranting the most substantial sanction. In your case, I acknowledge and commend you for your promptly reporting for an interview, and for admitting your actions.
Ridley can first apply for reinstatement in February 2023, even though he can still appeal the suspension within the next three days. However, it seems unlikely that an appeal will be granted; Ridley will almost certainly miss the upcoming season after already admitting to betting on games — including some played by his own team, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.
As a result of this development, it is highly unlikely the Falcons will trade Ridley. They already received some interest earlier during the offseason but did not enter any negotiations.
A first-round draft pick by the team in 2018, Ridley appeared to be on his way out of Atlanta after playing only five games last season due to mental health issues. The Patriots were seen as a potential landing spot given that they are lacking a true number one wide receiver of Ridley's caliber to pair with quarterback Mac Jones.
Over the first four seasons of his NFL career, Ridley appeared in 49 games and caught 248 passes for 3,342 yards and 28 touchdowns.

Dan Jenkins: Tweets from the Ancient Twitterer
Dan Jenkins
Follow "The Ancient Twitterer" a.k.a Dan Jenkins on Twitter
TURNBERRY, Scotland--Golf Digest Writer-at-Large Dan Jenkins is back on Twitter (twitter.com/danjenkinsgd) for his 201st major championship. Some fourth-round highlights from Jenkins, 79, dubbed The Ancient Twitterer for his tweets (limited to 140 characters):
I was at dinner at Troon in '73 when Jack told Weiskopf: "Tom, don't play Miller; play the golf course."
Women say men don't know what labor is like. Ross Fisher, whose wife is due any moment, just gave birth to an 8. They'll call the child Quad
Chris Wood, contending after tying for fifth last year at 20, was a soccer player before he blew out a knee. Now he's blown out his hair.
Watson trails by one after 10. The writers, pulling for Watson before, are now praying.
Chris Wood birdied the 17th to get within a stroke of the lead, but he still looks like a guitar player who lost the rest of his band
Stray thought: Watson was born in 1949, along with Meryl Streep, John Belushi, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen. Now back to the golf.
Here's Stewart Cink creeping up, within a stroke of the lead, wearing the tasteful green cap of a softball team.
Westwood bogeys the 16th. Tom Watson leads the British Open with three to play. Three holes from being the champion geezer of the century.
Cink birdies 18 to tie Watson for the lead. Does that lime-green hat of his glow in the dark?
Watson birdies 17 to go up by a stroke, with Westwood in a fairway bunker at 18. Watson's a par away from doing it.
Tentative prod by Watson from eight to 10 feet on what could have won it after Westwood's three-jack. Watson and Cink in a playoff.
Watson's giving Cink 23 years in the four-hole playoff.
If he wins the playoff against Watson, Cink has a chance to become the most hated man in the world.
Quick history lesson: Watson won his first British Open (1975), in an 18-hole playoff with Jack Newton at Carnoustie.
Bogey by Watson at the fifth (first playoff hole), par by Cink. On to the par-3 sixth, followed by the par-5 17th and par-4 18th.
Watson just hit it off the face of the earth. Shows you what happens when you make a 59-year-old guy work overtime.
Watson gets up and down at 6, but Cink two-putts for par and keeps a one-stroke lead. Why do I have that Jack Fleck kind of feeling?
Cink in the fairway at 17; Watson hooks it into the long grass and leaves it there with his second. Get me rewrite.
Cink birdies 16 after a Watson three-putt double; the lead's 4 entering the final hole of the playoff. I've been to more uplifting funerals.
It's time to think about the worst year for majors. With the PGA to go, we've got Cabrera, Glover and Cink. Goes along with a recession.
Cink birdie at 18 and a bogey by Watson for a six-stroke victory. Four tired hooks in four holes will usually get you beat.
In the press room, we had a suspicion we weren't good enough people to deserve Watson winning.
This is the Ancient Twitterer signing off from Turnberry. Stay tuned for more tweets (and probably more lurkers in contention) at the PGA.

I recently went to the Yucatan and visited the cenotes — naturally occurring sinkholes that expose underground water. This necklace was inspired by the turquoise color of the fresh water and all the roots and cave formations reaching down below the surface. Garnet is one of my favorite gemstones, and I love the contrast of its deep red with cool teal silk and olive green idocrase briolettes and rondelles.
Supplies available from Nina Designs, ninadesigns.com. Check your local bead store for supplies.
Cut a 5-in. (13 cm) piece of 26-gauge wire. Center a briolette on the wire. Bend both ends of the wire up around the bead. Using chainnose pliers, make a small bend in each wire to straighten it above the bead.
a. Grasping the loop with chainnose pliers, complete the wraps, wrapping around the top of the bead, keeping the wires parallel and making sure they don't cross. With one wire, wrap an extra half rotation. Trim and tuck the excess wire. Make a second side dangle.
b. Make a third briolette unit that is not attached to a pod charm.
Repeat steps 1 to 3a to make a briolette unit, but make the loop perpendicular to the briolette and omit the pod charm. Make two perpendicular briolette units.
To make the center dangle: Cut a 3-in. (7.6 cm) piece of 26-gauge wire. On one end, make the first half of a wrapped loop. Cut the jump ring off of a pod charm. Attach the charm and the briolette from step 3b to the loop. Complete the wraps. String an oval bead. Make a wrapped loop. Trim the excess wire.
Cut an 8-in. (20 cm) piece of beading wire. Center the center dangle on the wire.
On each end of the wire, string: round bead, side dangle, round, perpendicular briolette unit, round, rondelle, round, rondelle, round, rondelle, round.
Cut two 17-in. (43 cm) pieces of silk cord. Fold each cord in half. On each end of the wire, string a crimp bead and the fold of a cord. Go back through the beads just strung and tighten the wire. Crimp the crimp bead (How-Tos) and trim the excess wire. Close a crimp cover over the crimp.
On each side, tie an overhand knot with the pair of cord ends. Trim the cord close to the knot. Insert each knot into a pinch end, using a beading awl or the end of a paper clip to push the knot in if necessary. Apply glue if desired, then secure the pinch end.
Close a pinch end clasp in phases. Using chainnose pliers, pinch two opposite sides closer together, but not all the way. Next, pinch the remaining sides closer together until they meet the first two sides. (Closing the first two sides all the way would not allow room for the remaining sides.) After the first round of pinching, adjust the sides a bit closer and tighter together, making sure they're as evenly spaced as possible.
Make a matching pair of earrings with the same techniques.
For each earring: Repeat necklace steps 1 to 3a, but make only one side dangle.
On a decorative head pin, string a round. Make the first half of a wrapped loop. Attach the round to the jump ring of the pod charm and complete the wraps. Trim the excess wire.
Make a nautical version with blue suede cord and seafaring charms. Construct the briolette units, then string with green and blue stones as shown.

Meet the Hosts – Tamela Mann
Few entertainers today can match the unbridled energy and creative passion that Tamela Mann brings to her multi-faceted career. An acclaimed actress, NAACP Image Award and Grammy Award nominee and Stellar Award and Dove Award-winning vocalist, as well as wife and mother, Mann's talent has helped anchor one of the industry's most successful film, TV and theatrical franchises, while her amazing vocal gift is at the top of her impressive resume.
Tamela seems to effortlessly juggle a variety of notable projects while still finding time to aid such worthy organizations as the American Diabetes Assn. Tamela and her husband, NAACP Image award-winning actor and comedian, David Mann will co-star in a number of upcoming television projects including a new series "It's A Mann's World" and sitcom "Mann and Wife." Mann's 2012 "Best Days" album release set records and garnered a list of accolades adding to Mann's musical profile.
"I want to present music that people can be blessed by and that can be healing," she says about her record. "We have to put music out to keep people encouraged and keep lifting the body of Christ up, and even the ones that haven't become Christians. We need to encourage them that the best thing that they could ever do is become a child of God."
With "Best Days," Tamela is on a mission to share the strength and joy that can be found in being a child of God. Produced by Myron Butler and Kirk Franklin, the seven-time Stellar Gospel Music Award and two-time Dove Award-winning project showcases Mann's powerful voice and her gift for wringing every ounce of emotion from a great lyric.
Tamela has a gift for encouraging people through music. Her previous album "The Master Plan," won the 2011 Dove Award for Traditional Gospel Album of the Year. Though an award-winning project might cause some artists to feel pressure when they enter the studio to record their follow up album, Tamela just felt excited and motivated to take her music to another level, and she does just that on "Best Days." "I take no glory. I take no merit for myself because it all comes from Him," Mann says. "Everything that I am comes from Him. The Lord gives me words and the most fulfilling part is that I can plant a seed of joy and hope for people that I've never met."
One of the most powerful tracks on "Best Days" is the Grammy-nominated, Stellar Award and Dove Award-winning debut single "Take Me to the King," produced by long-time friend and Gospel icon, Kirk Franklin. The song earned Mann her first Grammy Award nomination for Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance and remained at #1 on the Gospel radio chart for a record number of weeks. The lyric acknowledges how heartbreakingly challenging life can be and how respite can be found in the presence of the King. Tamela turns in a soul-stirring performance with her voice conveying every ounce of vulnerability in the well crafted lyric as well as the hope that is within grasp.
The single is also featured on Mann's 2013 "Best Days Deluxe Edition" album release, which also features the worship favorite and single "I Can Only Imagine." The NAACP Image Award-nominated album features favorites from the standard version, plus live versions of the positive and powerful songs.
The positive, life-affirming attitude is not only the focal point of Tamela's albums, it's at the heart of everything she does. Whether she's starring in a film, a play or on television with her husband David in the successful TBS comedy "Meet the Browns," or recording an award-winning album, the singer continually touches people with her impressive talent and her Christ-like spirit.
Faith has always been the foundation of Tamela's life. "It was all about faith and all about God in my mom's house," She recalls of growing up in Fort Worth, Texas as the youngest of 14 kids. "We couldn't listen to like R&B or blues. My mom would say, 'You can't listen to those blues in my house.' She was really strict, but we listened to a lot of gospel music—The Clark Sisters, Andrae' Crouch, Walter Hawkins, The Williams Brothers and Inez Andrews."
Tamela knew at an early age that she was called to music ministry. "When I was eight-years-old, I was going to youth choir rehearsals with my older siblings, and I would start learning the songs that they were singing. I noticed myself scooting up closer and closer to the choir stand, singing with the choir. I jumped in there and started singing soprano right off."
Though she was young, her voice caught the attention of the choir director and her uncle, who was the pastor. "I had an opportunity to sing the lead and the song was James Cleveland's 'I Don't Feel No Ways Tired.' It went over so well and I got so moved while I was singing the song, I started crying. I didn't know what it was at the time, being so young, but it was like the spirit of God would take me over every time that I would sing. I found out that singing was my passion."
By the time she was 12, she was in the singing choir at the Holy Tabernacle church. Shortly after high school, she met three young men that would change her life forever. David Mann became her husband, Darrell Blair who is now her pastor, and pal Kirk Franklin, who helped launch Tamela's singing career when he recruited her to be part of his groundbreaking group, The Family. Tamela sang on five of Franklin's albums and has fond memories of those days. "I look at all of us and how God has blessed us in different areas," she says. "We're going on and doing our own things. We're all still serving the Lord which is really a blessing. And working with Kirk again after all these years has been so special."
After her stint with The Family, God continued to open doors for Mann to serve him in the arts. She landed a role in the play "He Say. . .She Say. . .But What Does God Say?" Her stage skills were noticed by actor/writer/producer Tyler Perry who chose her to appear in his play, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself." From there her acting career escalated as she developed the role of Cora Simmons in Perry's plays and such films as "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," "Madea Goes to Jail" and 2011's "Madea's Big Happy Family." The Madea films have become one of Hollywood's most successful film franchises and Mann's portrayal of 'Cora Simmons' has become a cornerstone of the series.
Tamela has also taken 'Cora' into America's living rooms via the television screen, co-starring with her husband David in the #1 TBS series, "Meet the Browns." Yet even as she's become increasingly successful as an actress, Mann's passion for music has never diminished. She's recorded four highly acclaimed albums, including "The Master Plan," and the versatile entertainer has been nominated for an NAACP Image award.
2012 was a memorable year in film for Mann as she joined Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston in the film "Sparkle." Mann acted alongside Houston as her character's best friend.
Tamela Mann has been blessed with a busy life filled with faith, family and a rewarding career. She and David have been happily married for 26 years and have four children and eight grandchildren. The couple serves as spokespeople for the American Diabetes Association, helping educate people on healthy food choices and the importance of exercise. They also incorporate tips into "Hanging with the Manns," a new cooking show the couple is co-hosting. They revel in the opportunity to work together on different projects. "We started out as best friends and we tell each other everything," she says of what keeps her marriage strong. "Everything that we have accomplished has been together and it's just really a blessing."
The Mann's home base remains in Texas and they are active in their church. "I'm always involved in church when I'm home," she says. "When we have activities, I'm the decorator. I always decorate the fellowship hall. I really like being involved and I think it's important because the pastors need laborers. They don't just need members. They need laborers. It's very important to come and be a part of actual fellowship and be a part of activities."
As much as she loves being home, she also loves touring and ministering to people all over the world through her music. "That's where I find my joy, when I can sing and minister to people," she says, "because I see the hope and encouragement that it gives people. It's something that I will do until I die. I will do this until the Lord calls me home because this is one sure way that I know I can tell people about Him so He can be glorified. I'll never stop because I love it so much."

L'analfabeta che sapeva contare (in svedese Analfabeten som kunde räkna) è il secondo romanzo di Jonas Jonasson, edito nel 2013.

Trama
Il principale inizio temporale della storia è il 14 giugno 2007, quando il Re e il primo ministro della Svezia scompaiono durante il ricevimento ufficiale in onore del segretario del Partito Comunista Cinese. Si diffonde la voce che si tratti di problemi di salute, ma la verità è ben diversa e molto più complicata ed inaspettata di quello che sembra.

Il personaggio principale del racconto è una ragazza nera sudafricana, di nome Nombeko. Nata in una baracca di Soweto, lascia forzatamente il ghetto per lavorare come schiava presso il responsabile degli armamenti nucleari sudafricani. Nombeko emigra clandestinamente nella anti-nucleare Svezia ed andrà ad influenzare un ventennio a cavallo del XX secolo.

La storia è costellata di personaggi eccentrici: un disertore della guerra del Vietnam, due fratelli gemelli con una sola identità fiscale, due agenti del Mossad, tre donne cinesi pasticcione dedite alla falsificazione di statue della Dinastia Han, una ragazza arrabbiata, una baronessa dedita alla coltivazione di patate, il re Carlo XVI Gustavo di Svezia ed il suo Primo Ministro Fredrik Reinfeldt, il segretario del Partito Comunista Cinese Hu Jintao ed una bomba atomica da 3 megatoni.

Analisi
Come per il primo libro di Jonasson, Il centenario che saltò dalla finestra e scomparve, la vicenda è costellata da equivoci e viene narrata in sequenza lineare sulla base di fatti effettivamente accaduti, ma reinterpretati a piacere dallo scrittore. Vari flashback ripercorrono la vita dei protagonisti, il tutto descritto mettendo in evidenza il lato grottesco dei personaggi.

Cameroon deploys military to Anglophone region amid appeals for calm
By AT editor - 29 September 2017 at 6:45 am
Authorities in Cameroon announced Thursday that the army is being deployed to the country's southwest Anglophone region ahead of planned protests on the country's October 1 Unification Day.
The decision by President Paul Biya was announced in a communique issued by Bernard Okalia Bilai, the governor in the country's troubled southwest. "The Head of State – Commander in Chief of National Defense Forces has ordered and mobilized the Army to protect the territorial integrity of the Nation as well as guarantee the security of all law-abiding persons and their property in conformity with the provisions of our Constitution," the document said.
It also warns people to stay indoors and repeats that those engaged in public demonstrations or acts of destruction "will meet the firm reaction of the armed forces." A communique on Wednesday, touching on the deadly September 22 protests in Mamfe, said that anyone on the streets after September 30 "shall be considered as terrorists to say the least and shall be treated as such." The governor also sealed off the border with Nigeria.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement Thursday expressing concern over the deteriorating security situation. He called on Cameroon authorities to promote a national reconciliation process with the Anglophone regions of the southwest and northwest, where long-standing political and economic grievances are tied to the country's legacy as two separate colonies, one British and English-speaking and the other French, before their unification.
Protests that originated with law and education professionals a year ago have led to the current calls for secession, with countless arrests and deaths and a lengthy Internet shutdown as clashes and boycotts escalated since last October. Biya's government banned all Anglophone activist organizations in January.

A girl not a country mile away
Seeing the light: Bernie Dodd (Mark Letheren) finally sees the truth about actor-turned-drunk Frank Elgin but is it too late to save his show from disaster?
The Country Girl
WILL dipso Frank Elgin, once the leading actor of his generation, stay off the sauce long enough to keep his part in the play and reach Broadway?
Will his long suffering wife Georgie stay with him or take to the hills, or at least the stalls, with Bernie Dodd, the rising star director who puts his faith in fried Frank?
Will Bernie's faith be rewarded? Will we care?
Well, as far as the last question goes, perhaps not as much as we should have done, at least on paper.
With Bill Kenwright as producer it would have been a surprise, indeed a shock, had the sets been less than excellent and the costumes authentic. His shows are always Premier division stuff and this was a masterclass in how to put on a drama. The Hippodrome is a huge stage to fill for a play but The Country Girl not only managed it but looked as if it had made itself quite at home.
Then you look at the cast and with Martin Shaw as the actor on the rocks, Jenny Seagrove, his partner in crime, or rather court, from BBC's Judge John Deed as his wife and Mark Letheren from The Bill and Wire in the Blood as Dodd, you would expect some fine performances and you would not be disappointed.
Georgie (Jenny Seagrove) dreams of what might have been
All three could hardly be faulted with Letheren just sneaking the honours in a high class field. Not to be outdone they were ably supported by Nicholas Day as the fictitious play's producer Phil Cook, Peter Harding as stage manager Larry, dragging the play through Boston to New York and Luke Shaw, son of Martin if you were wondering, as the cheery but worried writer Paul Unger played with a nice touch of understatement in contrast to the angst of everyone else around him. He has to please just his aunt, the rest have the world on their shoulders.
It would not be an exaggeration to say Shaw, Seagrove and Letheren gave towering performances. There were a couple of slips, lines clashing for example and at times the actual words vanished into the necessary American accents, but this was first class acting and it passed the Timex test with ease - with time flying by much faster on stage than on the watch.
But somehow it was not quite there. Close but no cigar. You got the feeling this was a collection of individual performances rather than a team effort and if the cast are not quite engaging with each other then it becomes that much more difficult to engage with the audience. Hence while you are intrigued to know how the tale of a washed up actor on his last chance unfolds you find yourself as a watcher, an observer rather than a participant, caring more about the what than the who.
SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS
It is hard to put your finger on the reasons. If I could do that I could make a fortune advising productions in Hollywood, Broadway and the West End. Sometimes it just happens. The rabbit still comes out of the hat but somehow it is not real magic; it is a letter or two short of of abracadabra..
It may be as stupidly simple as the fact we have seen John Deed and Jo Mills and their on-off, will-he won't-she relationship so often on televsion that we are too much at ease with Martin Shaw and Jenny Seagrove and their tangled love life and this is just another episode. They can't shock or surprise us any more. Who knows?
The play by Clifford Odet first opened on Broadway in 1950 and 60 years on perhaps shows its age in parts, maybe it has values that are no longer important, thoughts of a bygone age but it is still well written with some clever lines so you can hardly blame the script.
All the ingredients are there from wonderful direction by Rufus Norris, superb sets by Scott Pask, period costumes by Jonathan Lipman to clever lighting by Mark Howett and the technically complex sound from Ben Harrison.
The cast and acting was first class so on paper this should have been a no questions asked, runaway success but despite everything in its favour that indefinable something is missing.
Perhaps it is that expectations are so high that any falling short is exaggerated but that being said I did enjoy it. It is always a pleasure to watch an excellent production and fine acting. It might have fallen a tad short of what was hoped for but that does not mean it is not a good production and it is well worth seeing.
Shaw played Dodd in the play more than 30 years ago and is now back playing the washed up, alcoholic actor, who lies and deceives his way through life, always one reach away from a bender. In Shaw's hands you could almost smell the booze on him.
Battling demons Frank Elgin (Martin Shaw) needs wife Georgie to help him through
Seagrove gave us an aloof, tired wife living her life as a minder, constantly waiting for Frank to fall off the wagon yet again.
When Elgin finally manages to climb out of the gutter and stand on his own two feet she is given back her freedom and can at last choose to go or stay which is the final question to answer.
Letheren's director Dodd is brash, super confident and jumps to easy conclusions on face value. The growing tension between him and Georgie, a sort of hate hate relationship, can be felt, one of the few real emotions between characters to pass over the footlights.
He fights Georgie for most of the play for control of Frank until he finally realises Frank doesn't need his control he needs Georgie as a crutch, he needs her consent, her blessing. But by then it is too late to save Dodd who realises he is falling in love with the unfriendly, distant, combative wife.
It is a love triangle surrounding Frank's bottle, both the mental one in his head and the glass one he is always ready to clutch.
There is much to commend the production, the clever way actors take on the role of scene shifters in this play within a play for example to make the transitions interesting and it is never less than a pleasure to watch. It just never quite reaches the heights you expect.
The productions is scheduled for the West End and no doubt after a few weeks evolving on the road that elusive missing spark may well be ignited. After all that is what pre-West End tours are all about. Find the ignition and from A could do better this girl's report will read A* excellent. To 18-09-10

Muay Thai's child gladiators: Fighters as young as 8 practice martial art as they compete at boxing tournament
By Christine Roberts

Stunning images show fighters as young as 8 practicing the martial art of Muay Thai as they compete at a fierce boxing tournament in the Buriram province of Thailand.
Fighters of the technique, which stems from the ancient martial art of Muay Boran, start training when they are as young as 6 or 7.
Thai warriors developed the technique over 500 years ago out of necessity, relying on hand-to-hand combat when they lost their weapons while fighting with invaders from neighboring countries, according to the Malaysia Star.
Most of the students are sent to the camp by their parents from Isan, a rural, impoverished region located in the northeast of Thailand. (NICOLAS ASFOURI/AFP/Getty Images)
Muay Thai was developed into a sport when the Thai government applied formalized rules to Muay Boran because fighters too often sustained fatal injuries.
The combat sport is also known as the "Art of Eight Limbs" or the "Science of Eight Limbs" as fighters are instructed to use punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes to fight their opponent.

Muay Thai, which has become Thailand's national sport, offers the children a shot at fame — successful fighters are viewed as celebrities.
The sport has spread beyond Thailand. Several studios in the U.S. and England offer classes in the ancient art.

Downtown cool designer Sandy Liang has achieved a cult-following for her signature fleece jackets and playful pieces (tampon print dresses and rainbow shearling coats, anyone?).
The Parsons grad has taken inspiration from everything under the sun when it comes to downtown NYC culture: Chinatown grandmas and skater boys included. This season, she took over a raw space on Canal Street and had models stage two runway shows and a presentation in between. And while the designer has styled her womenswear pieces on men in the past (chef and founder of Mission Chinese, Danny Bowien, often models for her line), today was the most devotion she's shown menswear yet.
Male models were styled in shearling coats, leopard fleeces, jumpsuits, t-shirts and one pleated skirt short piece. Meanwhile, Sandy Liang's womenswear retained some of the same signatures: pretty, playful dresses, fleeces and more.

The strange politics of Caspian energy
The Caspian seabed contains some of the largest reserves of oil and natural gas in the world. And if one adds the hydrocarbon wealth present onshore in the Caspian littoral countries -- Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Russia -- the volumes are staggering.

The Caspian seabed contains some of the largest reserves of oil and natural gas in the world. And if one adds the hydrocarbon wealth present onshore in the Caspian littoral countries — Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Russia — the volumes are staggering.
However, to send energy resources from the Caspian Basin to world markets requires cooperation and with all five countries hoping to export their oil and gas it is not surprising that agreement is often difficult to reach. The politics of Caspian energy exports is complicated and there is a good deal of hypocrisy involved.
To examine the Caspian conundrum, RFE/RL assembled a Majlis, or panel, to discuss the politics of the region, who is exporting, who is not, and why this is so.
Moderating the discussion was RFE/RL Media Relations Manager Muhammad Tahir. From Carlton University in Ottawa, Canada, energy expert Robert Cutler joined the discussion. From Britain, independent journalist, former deputy director of RFE/RL's Iranian service (Radio Farda) Hossein Aryan also took part. Participating from Washington was Luke Coffey, the director of the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation. And I was in New York City from where I contributed a few comments of my own.
The Caspian littoral states' working group held a session in Tehran on October 23-24. It was the 47th session of the working group over the course of some 20 years and, once again, delegates left the meeting with little to show, vowing to meet again soon.
Sea Or Lake?
The main sticking point remains the legal statues of the Caspian Sea. Is it a sea or a lake? It makes a big difference, particularly for Iran as Coffey explained.
"Iran is dead set on the Caspian Sea [being declared] a lake because under the terms of the law of the Sea they would only get about 13 percent of the water whereas [if it were declared a lake] they want an equitable 20 percent," he said.
That is not just 20 percent of the water and seabed, it is a 20-percent share in the riches of the Caspian Sea.
Coffey added that the portion of the Caspian that is in Iran's sector "is the deepest, I think it holds almost two-thirds of the volume of the water in the Caspian, so in terms of extracting oil and gas resources it's very difficult."
Technically none of the countries should be developing oil and gas fields until all five states agree on the legal status of the Caspian.
But, as Aryan pointed out, "68 or 70 percent of the Caspian has already been divided, between Russia, between Kazakhstan, between Azerbaijan, and also between Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, so it only leaves something like 30%, which is [in the area of] Iran, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan."
And there is a lot of extraction already taking place.Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz 1 project has been supplying oil to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan [BTC] pipeline, which has been carrying that oil to Turkey's Mediterranean coast for export for some 10 years now.
Other littoral countries have been developing their offshore sites also. And Cutler noted, "As part of the Russian-Kazakh agreements for the division of their mutual boundaries… the two countries have cooperated and continue to cooperate on a number of joint ventures to exploit deposits that are on, or near the boundary of that so-called modified median line in the Caspian offshore."
This sort of cooperation is apparently not possible for all the Caspian littoral countries.
Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan have for around two decades been discussing the construction of an undersea pipeline to bring some 30 billion cubic meters of Turkmen gas annually across the Caspian where it could be loaded into pipelines heading to Turkey and on to Europe. The Trans-Caspian Pipeline (TCP) is included as part of the European Union's Southern Corridor strategy to diversify its gas import markets in order to avoid becoming overly dependent on supplies of oil and gas from Russia.
Iran and Russia oppose this project, ostensibly because of environmental concerns.
Cutler pointed out, "When Russia built the Blue Stream pipeline under the Black Sea to Turkey and when it talks about the Turkish Stream pipeline, nobody, and not Russia, really discusses the environmental and ecological issues which seem to come to the fore rhetorically when Caspian affairs are the subject of discussion."
And Cutler added, "There's so much more experience with constructing and managing these sorts of pipelines in the last 20 years that it really shouldn't be an issue and it is not a technical issue, it is a political issue."
Russia's Interests
Coffey echoed that saying, "It's in Russia's interests that this matter [the legal status of the Caspian] remains unsettled. This makes it more difficult for the Trans-Caspian Pipeline to ever be realized and it means that there's one less alternative available to Europe that bypasses Russia."
Underscoring the point that it is only the TCP that raises objections, Cutler drew attention to "an oil pipeline between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, which they've been discussing for 10 years and which they again recently, just last month signed yet another accord for the intention to build."
So far, none of the other Caspian states have raised any objections to that proposed pipeline, nor did any of them complain when Kazakhstan's offshore Kashagan field started production in September 2013 only to be quickly shut down when the undersea pipes cracked and leaked into the Caspian Sea. After replacing those pipes, Kashagan just restarted production in October.
In the absence of any common agreement on the Caspian's status there is really only one thing that counts, as Aryan, who served for some 18 years in Iran's navy explained. "Russia has the largest navy, nearly 150 vessels, most of the exercises and drills conducted by Russia in the Caspian Sea are far beyond the agreements reached between the states with regard to maintaining security, fighting smugglers, search and rescue."
That includes firing cruise missiles from Russian ships in the Caspian Sea at targets inside Syria earlier this year, a move that was not necessary from a military point of view, but one that sent a message to the other littoral states about who is ultimately in charge of the Caspian Sea.
This was an intense discussion that covered these topics in greater detail and addressed other issues on the complicated situation in the Caspian.

Finnish peat production will resume to replace Russian wood
Demand for peat in energy production has led the Finnish state-owned Neova Group (formerly Vapo) to reverse its autumn decision to stop production.
Neova intends to resume the harvesting of energy peat as early as next summer in Eastern Finland, which is particularly affected by the uncertainty related to wood imports from Russia. The company has not completely stopped production or decommissioned its harvesting equipment.
Neova has a large number of unused peat production areas where environmental permits are still valid.
At the end of last year, the company announced that it would cease production of energy peat altogether.
"Customers have now been in active contact with us. Many are concerned about security of supply [of wood]. This means that at such a rapid pace, peat is a viable solution that is fortunately still available in Finland," says Pasi RantonenDirector of Neova peat production.
Energy peat is currently in greatest demand in Eastern Finland, where Neova's customers have used more imported wood from Russia.
UPM suspends wood imports from Russia
The forest industry company UPM announced on Wednesday that it will suspend wood purchases from Russia and Russia and the operations of the Chudovo plywood plant for the time being.
UPM announced earlier on March 3 that it would stop deliveries to Russia.
According to the company, the suspension will take into account UPM's local employees, customers and stakeholders, as well as Russian legislation.
The change is in line with the decision of the FSC and PEFC forest certification bodies to exclude wood from Russia and Belarus from their certification schemes.
UPM announced its decision to continue to provide humanitarian and material assistance in Ukraine to help those affected by the war.

5/7/19: Sadaf Farooqi, MB, ChB (Hons), PhD, Named American Diabetes Association's® 2019 Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award
The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) will present the 2019 Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award (OSAA) to Sadaf Farooqi, MB, ChB (Hons), PhD. Dr. Farooqi will be recognized with this honor, which is given annually for research in diabetes that demonstrates particular independence of thought and originality, during the ADA's 79th Scientific Sessions, June 7-11, 2019, at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. She will deliver her OSAA Lecture, titled "Obesity and the Biology of Weight Regulation," during the National Scientific and Health Care Achievement Awards Presentation on Monday, June 10.
Dr. Farooqi is a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow and Professor of Metabolism and Medicine at the Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science, University of Cambridge, UK.
"We are pleased to recognize Dr. Farooqi for her seminal contributions to understanding the genetic and physiological mechanisms that underlie severe human obesity and its complications," said the ADA's 2019 President of Medicine and Science Louis H. Philipson, MD, PhD, FACP. "Congratulations to Dr. Farooqi on this achievement and her outstanding research defining the connections between genetics and obesity."
Notably, Dr. Farooqi played a leading role in the identification and characterization of congenital leptin deficiency and was responsible for coordinating the first clinical trial of recombinant leptin therapy in this disorder. Treatment of recombinant leptin provided the first proof of principle that leptin is an essential regulator of body weight, T-cell mediated immunity and the onset of puberty in humans. In addition, Dr. Farooqi played an integral role in characterizing human MC4R deficiency, the most common monogenic cause of obesity identified to date. Following these formative studies, Dr. Farooqi established a comprehensive international study of children with severe, early onset obesity, the Genetics of Obesity Study (GOOS), which is now the largest cohort of its kind in the world.
The American Diabetes Association's 79th Scientific Sessions, the world's largest scientific meeting focused on diabetes research, prevention and care, will be held June 7-11, 2019, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. Nearly 15,000 leading physicians, scientists, health care professionals and industry representatives from around the world are expected to convene at the Scientific Sessions to unveil cutting-edge research, treatment recommendations and advances toward a cure for diabetes. During the five-day meeting, attendees will receive exclusive access to more than 850 presentations and 2,000 original research presentations, participate in provocative and engaging exchanges with leading diabetes experts, and can earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) or Continuing Education (CE) credits for educational sessions. The program is grouped into eight thematic areas: Acute and Chronic Complications; Behavioral Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Education and Exercise; Clinical Diabetes/Therapeutics; Epidemiology/Genetics; Immunology/Transplantation; Insulin Action/Molecular Metabolism; Integrated Physiology/Obesity; and Islet Biology/Insulin Secretion. Gretchen Youssef, MS, RDN, CDE, President of Health Care and Education, will deliver her address, "It's All about Access!," on Saturday, June 8, and Louis H. Philipson, MD, PhD, FACP, President of Medicine and Science, will address attendees on Sunday, June 9. Join the Scientific Sessions conversation on social media using #ADA2019.

Jeff Shuren, M.D., J.D., Statement on FDA Efforts to Increase Transparency in Medical Device Reporting
U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and Radiological Health is taking a number of important steps to update its Medical Device Reporting (MDR) Program, one of the tools the FDA uses to monitor device performance, detect potential device-related safety concerns or signals and contribute to the benefit-risk assessment of these products.
AAOS Opposition Statement to Senate HELP Surprise Billing Proposal
President Kristy L. Weber, MD, "While the AAOS supports removing patients from the middle of out-of-network billing disputes, we strongly believe that imposing an insurer-controlled rate is not the solution. The Lower Health Care Costs Act represents an unprecedented transfer of market power by the government to insurers and directly threatens the independent practice of medicine."
ACC Names First Director of Diversity and Inclusion
The American College of Cardiology welcomes Ranna Parekh, MD, MPH, as its first Director of Diversity and Inclusion. By working with the ACC Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion and other societies and organizations, Parekh will lead and expand the College's diversity and inclusion initiatives to create a more diverse and inclusive environment within the field of cardiovascular disease and strive for a fully inclusive organization and profession.
ACR Applauds Bipartisan Proposal to Address Surprise Medical Bills
The preliminary outline for the Protecting People From Surprise Medical Bills Act strikes a necessary balance by providing strong patient protections, while simultaneously improving transparency, promoting access to appropriate medical care and avoiding the creation of disincentives for insurers and health care providers to negotiate network participation contracts in good faith.
AAOS Encouraged by Protecting People from Surprise Billing Act
"Unanticipated medical bills can have a profound effect on patient health care costs and the physician-patient relationship. Especially during a time when rapid market consolidation is driving up costs, decreasing patient choice, and inhibiting industry competition. The problem is further exacerbated as health insurance plans increasingly offer narrow, often inadequate networks of providers.
American College of Cardiology Thanks Senators McConnell, Kaine for Efforts to Reduce Youth Tobacco Use
On behalf of our patients, ACC members thank the Senators for their efforts to reduce youth tobacco use and stand ready to partner with them—and other members of Congress—to enact strong legislation establishing a federal age of 21 for the sale of all tobacco products."

This summary describes amendments to the flexibility options of the Truck and Bus Regulation that were approved by the Air Resources Board (ARB/Board) on April 25, 2014. Owners that do not report to use flexibility options must comply with the engine model year schedules of the regulation. Detail on how to report and take advantage of flexibility options is available at www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck.
The Board approved amendments for small fleet owners that complied with the small fleet option for heavy trucks (with a GVWR more than 26,000 lbs) and had at least one PM filter by January 1, 2014. Compliance for trucks already equipped with PM filters is being extended until 2023, and owners with two or three trucks will have two more years to upgrade the other heavy trucks in the fleet as shown on the table on the right.
The Board approved a new flexibility option that would defer compliance with the PM filter requirements until January 1, 2017 for up to 3 trucks in a fleet for owners that are unable to afford compliance and cannot get financing to comply. The criteria for claiming this option is being revised as directed by the Board and will not be finalized until the summer of 2014.
The approved amendments exempt vehicles that travel fewer than 5,000 total miles per year, regardless of where the vehicle is operated until January 1, 2020. The existing extension for vehicles that travel less than 1000 miles in California remains in effect except that the hourly limitation for vehicles that operate while stationary has been removed.
does not apply to any other tractor trailer combinations, buses nor truck and trailer combinations that haul goods.
The PM filter compliance schedule is shown in the table on the right. A one truck owner can use this option to defer compliance until January 1, 2016. This option can now be used separately for lighter trucks in the fleet.
Owners of the agricultural vehicles will be able to use the existing extension longer if their vehicles will operate less than 15,000 miles per year after January 1, 2017 and 10,000 miles per year after January 1, 2020. Cattle livestock trucks will be newly eligible to use the specialty agricultural truck extension; however, some of the details on eligibility are being revised as directed by the Board and will not be finalized until the summer of 2014. Finally, the approved amendments extend the opt-in period for log trucks until January 31, 2015. All agricultural trucks will need to have 2010 engines by 2023.
The Board approved a new compliance option that allows fleet owners to upgrade the heavy cranes in a fleet to 2010 model year or later engines at a rate of 10 percent per year starting on January 1, 2018. Heavy cranes with PM filters before January 1, 2018 will be grandfathered in.
The Board approved an expansion of the number of regions that are included in the NOx Exempt Area Phase-in option shown by the lighter regions in the figure on the right. The compliance schedule was also extended by several years and will be phased-in from January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2020 as shown in the table on the left. The amended option will be open to both lighter and heavier vehicles.
Under this option, a one truck owner will need a PM filter by 2017, a 2 truck owner will need to add PM filters by 2015 and 2019, and a 3 truck owner would need to add PM filters by 2015, 2017, 2019.
Any vehicle that operates exclusively in these regions when operating in California will have no additional requirements, other than reporting, once the vehicle is equipped with a retrofit or OEM PM filter.
The Board approved amendments that limit the number of trucks that would need to be upgraded to 2010 model year or newer engines each year. Owners that comply with the engine model year schedules will not be required to upgrade with 2010 engines for more than 25 percent of the fleet or 2 trucks, whichever is greater. The limit applies separately for lighter and heavier trucks.
The Board approved an amendment that recognizes owners that installed retrofit PM filters on their vehicles before January 1, 2014 by extending the compliance period until January 1, 2023.
The Board approved amendments extend the use of existing credits (for downsizing, early addition of PM filters, and adding cleaner vehicles) until January 1, 2018. The credits for adding fuel efficient hybrids or other advanced technology vehicles are being extended until 2020.
If a PM filter is recalled and cannot be repaired by the manufacturer, the Board approved an amendment that allows the vehicle to operate up to five years from the date of the recall to protect owners that acted in good faith to comply with the regulation.
Fact sheets, compliance tools and regulatory documents about the Truck and Bus Regulation are available at www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck.

I really, really like the Hoxton – and they've just opened one up in Holborn as well! Many years ago, I surprised John with an overnight stay at the Shoreditch location … he thought we were just there for dinner, but we had a super cool room upstairs! It was so much fun. Your post brought all those memories flooding back.
I'm not surprised you've been there, you're such a cool cat! Can't wait to hear more about your home – wondering if the wreath will make the cut!
If you get the chance you should go to ACE hotel in shoreditch. They have very interesting carpets too.
Did you manage to get a coffee in Holborn Grind they do seriously good coffee. Shame that you didn't get to enjoy the bar but sometimes a good set of sheets and some TV is all you need!
