It was currently the coldest time of winter on Nutella.
The sun peeked out in an almost apologetic manner from behind the Bagel as it rose sluggishly across the sky.
Meanwhile, the land, though filled with enough light for humans to move and work, looked like the kind of monochrome world seen through sunglasses.
Once noon approached, the sun would finally come out fully from behind the Bagel.
As a result of this unique phenomenon, it was as if there were two sunrises and two sunsets every day.
In truth, the sun peeked out often through several cracks between the debris that formed the orbital ring while it was hidden behind the Bagel, so there was always enough light to move by as long as it was daytime.
From atop the lookout tower at Subaru's castle, Homura and the others gazed at the far-off horizon. The edge of the Bagel stretched across the sky and formed a boundary line between light and shadow, slowly moving from north to south as a reflection of Nutella's planetary rotation.
Its shadow, which formed a near-perfect straight line, fell over the ridge line of the snow-capped mountains and slid across the mountain range in wavy patterns, resembling a soundwave graph.
The sight resembled the shadows cast by clouds on Earth, but sometimes dispersed beams of light would peek through the cluster of small satellites that formed the orbital ring, illuminating the snowy landscape in strange gradations of pale colors, a unique Nutellan phenomenon that was wholly unlike any rainbows or sun dogs on Earth.
They had returned to Subaru's castle for the first time in three weeks.
In Nutellan time, about four months had passed since their last visit.
The investigators arrived on the promised day that Kamikoma had declared beforehand, so there was little surprise on Subaru's face as she greeted the Hiyoshizaka and Seiran club members with an expectant smile.
An expedition to far-off and untrodden lands towards the sea coast.
This journey on foot across the winter mountain ranges was expected to take four weeks.
With the exception of the time they clashed with Subaru-hime, this was their most dangerous mission yet.
As such, they didn't immediately depart after arriving on Nutella and instead made careful preparations first.
They performed their preparations at the new base camp instead of Subaru's castle.
However, the investigators were dumbfounded upon seeing the base camp that Subaru had generously offered to continue working on in their absence.
Even taking into account that they'd managed to make a lot of progress during their last visit, the camp had still just been an old dilapidated building—and yet now, it looked practically like a high-class boardinghouse. The structure now consisted of a log house that had been seamlessly erected on the stone foundations.
The building contained open and bright rooms, an immaculate and user-friendly kitchen and a storeroom that could be used as the base's transport room. Many of the walls also had glass windows, which had apparently been taken from empty rooms up in the castle.
Though currently covered in snow, there was even a terrace on the second floor with a round bathtub that resembled a jacuzzi.
The only similar building they knew of was Tomakomai Denpa High's well-used base camp, but even that couldn't compare to this one.
The young investigators looked up at the new building in stupefaction.
Subaru spoke up from behind them.
"I was trying to make amends for Suzuran's fire stunt… but perhaps I went too far…" she said anxiously.
There were even complete sets of futon beds stuffed with waterfowl feathers in the bedrooms on the second floor.
On the other hand, Kamikoma merely gulped at the sight, speechless.
"Is it really that shocking?" asked Homura.
…Still, even Homura was able to tell how incredible this place was based on the unabashed joy of her fellow Seiran High members and the jealous gazes from the Hiyoshizaka High members, so she stepped back in an apologetic manner.
Since Momoyama-senpai had designed this base camp and even given up her chance to come for the sake of the Seiran High members, they decided to name the building 'Peach Mountain Manor' in her honor1. It was a perfect name since there was even an orchard next to the building.
The group spread out all their tools for the expedition inside one of the still furniture-less rooms.
The parties from both schools went to work organizing them once more and performing a final check.
They had brought quite a wide range of Nutella-use tools and ordinary mountain-climbing tools for this expedition.
Homura had little to no interest nor knowledge about them, but this last check made her truly realize the purpose of these tools and what kind of environment they were meant to help her in.
The special training in Alaska had also been for the sake of familiarizing them with these unfamiliar mountain-climbing tools as much as possible. Though there were apparently rare exceptions to this like Nanakubo Koeda.
—To start with, Homura placed her sleeping bag, made specifically for use in winter mountains, on the floor to use as a mat for her tools.
The first item she placed on top of it was a huge parka jacket.
This parka served as an outer layer over the middle layer of her exploration uniform, which was already made for high-performance in extreme environments.
Next was her fleece-like cold-weather gear made of advanced materials, usually worn over her regular clothes during times of rest at the camp or used as an extra layer beneath her parka when it was necessary to move during blizzards.
Next, some trekking pants to wear underneath. Boots. Some gaiters to help cover her feet and legs from the snow.
Hats. Gloves. Socks. Various spare underwear.
…Her clothing alone formed a huge heap.
—Then came her snowy mountain-use tools.
Snowshoes to equip to her boots.
Sole attachments with steel pikes that could similarly be attached to her boots, used depending on the snow cover at the time.
Goggles. Trekking poles to be held in either hand. Heat-insulated canteens.
A first-aid kit for dealing with injuries and sickness. An emergency kit for emergency withdrawal. Various snack candies to eat on the go.
Sunscreen and, of course, the good-luck charm from Narita mountain filled with hundredfold prayers from her mother and little sister.
She had even brought the anti-bear tear gas spray that she had used to great effect before. Bears generally hibernated during this time of the year, but there were plenty of other animals that were active during winter.
While Homura was checking all her equipment, a wolf—named Kirimaru, according to Saho—came into the base camp and curiously peeked at Homura and her tools, so she held out the spay can as a test, causing the wolf to immediately scamper back out of the building.
Homura laughed triumphantly (though her laughter was tinged with tears and desperation), but she then immediately grabbed her head and groaned.
"Hey, hey, take proper care of your jacket. We don't have any more spares here," said Touya.
The reason Homura's voice was weak as she replied was because she was already on her second parka.
Just before their departure—Homura had been chatting excitedly with Ameno in the club building and spilled tons of food over her parka where it rested on a chair.
Furthermore, she even spilled it over the inner part of the parka, which stained easily and was difficult to clean.
She had thus prostrated herself and tearily begged for mercy until they let her run off to exchange it with a spare parka in the club building. Now she really couldn't laugh at Inari-senpai's slip-up at the coffee shop.
There were just a few personal clothes left for her to sort through now, but still, these were merely the minimum tools for Homura alone to survive amidst the snowy mountains.
—And next came the true tools central to conducting this expedition of exploration.
These ones were carried by all the club members in allotted shares.
The main portion of these essential items consisted of food, cooking implements and fuel for making fires.
Their journey would be taking them through lands filled with snow, so they thankfully didn't have to carry their own water, the most important resource of all, but they needed fuel to heat and melt the snow into water.
In addition, there were tents, measuring tools, climbing equipment such as ice pickets and rope for places that were difficult to traverse, and recording equipment such as cameras to document subjects of interest and importance.
The Hiyoshizaka High members wouldn't have been able to carry all this equipment on their own. Increasing the number of expedition members had greatly expanded the extent of their exploration efforts.
Glancing behind her, Homura saw that Taga-senpai was carrying a huge piece of baggage that looked as if it held several electric bicycles within it.
—Among these important expedition equipment, the portion that Homura had been assigned to carry consisted of items meant as avalanche countermeasures.
First was a comparatively lightweight snow shovel.
Next was a thin, collapsible three-meter pole called a Sonde. It was a tool used to search for people buried under snow by stabbing it deeply into the snow.
During the training in Alaska, they had also used beacons that sent out radio waves to indicate their position to rescuers.
However, electronics didn't work on Nutella, so instead they had all been provided plastic whistles. It released a loud and piercing noise just by blowing into it a little, so it was a useful tool applicable to other emergencies as well. And the greatest special trait of this whistle was that it also released ultrasonic waves at the same time.
Human ears couldn't pick up these ultrasonic waves, but it was within the hearing range of many confirmed TAPC (Trans-Animal Possessed Case) Trans.
Among their party's members, Taga-senpai and Saho were both TAPC Trans, so they would be able to hear the whistles even from under the snow and locate any buried people. It was quite reassuring.
—And that summed up all of her equipment.
To Homura, this equipment check was a very mentally strenuous task that took half a day.
Despite doing the exact same thing, Misasagi managed to finish the check in practically no time at all and then took out a bow to go out hunting in the mountains with Ameno.
Ameno had already finished her body's operation check earlier while on the lightly snow-covered ground from the old base camp to Subaru's castle.
This short mountain hunt apparently doubled as an opportunity to put the finishing touches on that check.
Homura recalled the warning Fujimori had given them all before they departed.
Having never once imagined she would receive such a warning, Homura was so shocked that she even wondered whether the person in front of her wasn't Fujimori-sensei at all.
However, while Touya was also visibly shaken beside her, he didn't display any opposition to Fujimori's words.
"…Understood…" said Touya with a quiet nod. That was also quite a shock to Homura.
It meant he understood and agreed with the order.
Homura was unable to answer immediately, her chest tight.
Homura asked to make sure, and Fujimori nodded seriously.
After hearing that, Homura was finally able to say yes to Fujimori's original question as their director.
But she still didn't know… what she would think and feel should that situation actually occur.
After turning on the fire in the new base camp's kitchen for the first time and finishing their first supper there, the female club members went off to borrow the open-air bath at the castle once again.
The combination of the sun setting moment by moment beyond the mountains and the twinkling stars in the sky made for a spectacular sight.
The Bagel, spanning the western sky with its edges cut off by Nutella's shadow, formed a far gentler arch than in previous seasons.
Bathed in sunlight coming from the other side of the ring, the Bagel shone and filled the night sky with suspicious-looking colors different from those in the summer as well.
Just as Homura was returning to the camp from the castle along with the other girls, Subaru called her alone to a stop.
Homura tilted her head in puzzlement at being suddenly called out like this, but she still excused herself from Misasagi and the others and went along with Subaru.
The destination Subaru led her to wasn't Subaru's personal room, but the stables on the castle's lowest floor.
Touya was already waiting there under the lamp light.
The stray bed that Ameno used previously was still there like last time. After making the two young ones sit there, the lady of the castle spoke up in a pleasant tone.
Subaru's formal tone made Homura straighten her posture.
The waterfall near the castle was almost entirely frozen now. As such, the stables were wrapped in practically painful silence within the castle surrounded by snow.
First, Subaru turned to face Touya.
Subaru's words hit upon the very worry that Touya had confessed to Homura at Enoshima. Both Touya and Homura began listening intently now.
Subaru bowed her head deeply.
Unable to stand the current atmosphere, Homura reflexively spoke up.
A chill went down Homura's spine.
That unexpected answer shocked Touya as well, leaving him speechless.
Subaru, the very person responsible for this, nodded with an anguished face.
After an uncomfortable silence persisted for a while between them, Subaru resumed speaking.
"Please tell us," said Touya in a resolute tone.
Subaru looked at Touya with an impressed gaze.
"Touya-dono, you can no longer have a new human puppet spell placed on you. You are already my puppet, after all. So even if—though this is a truly frightening prospect—there are casters who can control human puppets among the vagrants, you have no reason to fear falling under their grasp. If such an situation should occur, you should pretend to become their puppet and cut off the ruffian's head while he or she sleeps," advised Subaru severely.
The way she spoke of ruffians and cutting off heads made Homura feel like she'd slipped into a period drama.
Taken aback, Homura sprang up from the bed.
Homura was honestly surprised, but her response still sounded carefree somehow, making Subaru raise an eyebrow in bewilderment.
After exchanging worried glances with Touya, Homura frantically shook her head.
Naturally, Homura was shaken by this talk of her memories being manipulated, but right now she was more worried about Touya.
After carefully thinking over what Subaru told them, Touya shook his head.
Though he hardly looked relieved, Touya seemed to have come to terms with this matter. Subaru nodded in agreement.
Touya nodded again with an annoyed expression that clearly said 'Quit pestering me over this'.
Within the pouch were yellow diamond-shaped stones.
Homura and Touya were shocked upon recognizing it.
Touya swiftly covered Homura's mouth. That was a close one.
This was the stone possessing terrifying destructive power that Suzuran had thrown at Touya and used in a trap that injured Misasagi during her surprise attack on their old base camp.
Touya was filled with surprise and wonder. It was quite a useful item.
Touya tried to hand back the pouch. But Subaru had no intention of taking it back, saying he could use it or throw it away as he pleased.
Touya wore a conflicted expression.
Homura timidly picked up one of the yellow stones from Touya's hand and asked a question.
Homura tilted her head in puzzlement.
Upon hearing Touya's sharp insight, Homura clapped her hands in realization.
A catalyst pattern—Chief Toneri had spoken of it, saying, "It's a special spell pattern that creates a kind of cycle and accelerates or slows a reaction of some kind." It was a form of persisting magic that the mages among Nutellan investigators were always searching for.
Subaru had already managed to grasp the concept.
True, the spell system she used had clearly different origins from theirs, but there seemed to be interchangeable concepts shared between them.
Just as the investigators were making hypotheses about Nutella's history based on the hidden meanings behind Subaru's conduct and words, Subaru had also absorbed Earth knowledge from what the club presidents and Nanakubo had purposefully avoided saying.
Subaru turned proud and affectionate as she spoke further.
Subaru's blue eyes glittered under the lamplight as she stared at them.
Both Homura and Touya gulped upon hearing Subaru's invitation to receive instruction.
Subaru wore a smile that expressed the sincerity of her words. She winked at them and spoke further.
"—Yes!" Homura vigorously replied with all the energy she could muster.
Touya covered his scowling face with a hand, exasperated.
…No, she was like this right from the start.
Recalling that day after school when he called out to Homura and invited her to join the Exploration Club as a mage, Touya couldn't help but smile wryly.
(1) The kanji for Momoyama's name literally translate to "Peach Mountain".
So many hints, hmmm… Bronze golems… Thugs… HomuHomu not susceptible to mind-interference magics… I wanna cry from all the questions w/o answers!
Yay. Thanks for the update.
Is it possible that someone made the human puppet spell on Homura(! I'm suspecting that person… Do you remember that time in Homura's first exploration, I guess. When she went out the tent on the middle of the night and she saw someone. She was really scared at the time!!
I'm excited to read the next chapters! OMG!!
Thank you so much for the chapter translation!!

Goodison Park has to change if Carlo Ancelotti is to take Everton forward
Michael Ball on why Goodison can have a negative effect if the fans aren't right behind the players
Michael Ball
As another new Everton era begins after the sacking of Rafa Benitez, sign up for the Blues email bulletin for all the latest news on the next manager
We got the win this weekend, but the atmosphere at Goodison Park probably wasn't as positive as Carlo Ancelotti might have wanted it.
It's understandable, but you've got to think about moving forward.
I've been there, I'm one of the negative fans at times, I'm sitting there asking why certain players are on the pitch. But you've got to respect the manager's choices.
He's trained with them all week, spoke to them one-on-one, he's set out his starting 11 - but as soon as they walk across that white line every fan should get behind them and not sit back waiting for a mistake to get on their backs.
That is not going to help the team, it won't help the individual either. Moving forward we want Goodison to be a happy place, and it's not right now.

We want Goodison to be bouncing, to be a ruthless place for opposition to come. This weekend, when Brighton came into the second half more and more the nerves started to kick in, and that's down to the recent history of letting games go. Fans might have been expecting it to happen.
Let's get that mentality out of Goodison Park straight away. That mentality which gives the opposition a chance to get back into the game.
Luckily this time around we got the three points, the game could have been killed earlier again, but it's football. Opposition get opportunities, but we don't want them thinking we're going to fold if we make one or two bad passes.
We need the fans then to perk the players back up again. Bad passes happen, the best players in the world do it.
I think the fans have just been sick of the same things happening from the same players, the lack of desire, and I completely understand those frustrations.
But Ancelotti has come to the club and we've got to back the players for 90 minutes, hopefully keep this strong league form going, and climb back up that table once again.
There are players who we desperately need to keep in this squad, and we want smiles on their faces. If they feel the atmosphere at Finch Farm and Goodison is toxic, they might look elsewhere to enjoy their football.
You want the whole spirit of the club to be bouncing and that's what Ancelotti asked for when he arrived.
The fans have been let down so many times so the frustration is reasonable. I'm one of them, I've been frustrated so many times over the years.

But it's not getting us anywhere. The moaning and groaning when people make mistakes is too negative, and the opposition pick up on that.
It's not having a go at those supporters, we were so embarrassed at Anfield it was a collective thing. We had to respond, we got the three points, and that's what it's all about between now and the end of the season.
That's what I feel our plan should be. We've been through a terrible time of not winning silverware, but we stick by this side win, lose or draw.
Especially at Goodison, the fans in numbers are turning up, let's get the volume back up to the levels it was a few weeks ago when Duncan Ferguson was at the helm.
This is an important message to everyone at the club.
It's not to say players are getting away with their mediocre performances at all, it's just to keep the spirit high to go out and perform.
I've been there as a player
Soccer - FA Carling Premiership - Everton v Charlton Athletic Michael Ball, Everton
We know the frustrations, I've been there as a player. The pressure's on, there's difficult moments, the results are going against you - and it's tough.
As a team you've got to stick together as much as possible and hope that something will turn. Have team meetings, have it out in-house, tell each other some home truths.
People have been a bit in denial about certain situations and they have to look at themselves in the mirror. There was nothing to be proud of from the performance at Anfield and that's the disappointing thing.

The social media incident and the rumours coming out of Everton last week were hard, at the end of the day it was an embarrassing result for everyone. We know we're frustrated, but we've got one of the best managers in the world at our football club - we don't want him to already be thinking, "Why have I come here?".
We're in a transitional period once again but we've appointed Ancelotti to steady the ship and improve us. He's not the problem, we know that, but he's walked into a club that's all over the place at this moment in time.
It's up to him to get us back to winning ways and get the fans back on our side.
He called on the fans in his programme notes, he wants that passion. He was overwhelmed when he first came to Goodison Park, with the fans really backing a team that was struggling thanks to Duncan Ferguson - and the team responded.

He wants that passion and desire from the fans to continue while he's in the job, we still need it. We know we're not playing the football we want to be consistently enough, but we know the players need the fans.
There's an argument that the players don't deserve it, they've not shown enough and we as fans are sick and tired of backing them with no response. But, if you look at the short period of time under Duncan Ferguson, it was a weakened squad against good sides - and we got the results.
The players responded to the manager and to the fans. There was no place to hide and the players had that mentality of all sticking together as Everton Football Club.
Just focus on ourselves for the rest of the season
I keep looking at the league table too many times, especially over the Christmas period!
You see we're only six points off here, or a couple of places away from there - but so much can change in this short space of time.
We just need to focus on ourselves. Stop looking too far ahead of us, don't look over our shoulder, just concentrate on ourselves and what the manager is trying to implement.
He's rotating quite a lot, so he's probably trying to suss out who's going to be his main players for the future.
We need to concentrate on ourselves and get our performances at a better level. When we're on top, let's see if we can kill games. If we go a goal down, can we respond?
These are the little targets we haven't done enough of that the manager can focus on between now and the end of the season.

Gaur, Vikas; Salvi, Deepak; Gautam, Manaswi; Sangwan, Vaundhra; Tambi, Tanushi; Kalia, Anchin; Singh, Nishant.
Indian J Psychiatry ; 64(1): 89-92, 2022.
Aims: To identify prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in clinically stable COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional single point observational study was conducted among clinically stable 72 COVID-19 infected patients. Psychiatric comorbidity was assessed with the help of DSM-5 Self-Rated Level 1 CCSM-Adult scale. Results: The prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity was 76.4% (n = 55). Depression was the most common diagnosis in 44.44% (n = 32) followed by anxiety (34.72%, n = 25), somatic symptoms (26.39%, n = 19), sleep problems (23.61%, n = 17). Around 45 .83 % (n = 33) patients considered COVID-19 infection as potentially life-threatening and 23.62% (n=17) patients experienced discrimination and stigma after being diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. Using binary logistic regression, physical symptoms was identified as a risk factor for psychiatric comorbidity. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence of a significant impact of COVID-19 infection on mental health in COVID-19 patients.
SARS-CoV-2 Reinfection Rate and Estimated Effectiveness of the Inactivated Whole Virion Vaccine BBV152 Against Reinfection Among Health Care Workers in New Delhi, India.

JAMA Netw Open ; 5(1): e2142210, 2022 01 04.
Importance: A surge of COVID-19 occurred from March to June 2021, in New Delhi, India, linked to the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant of SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out for health care workers (HCWs) starting in January 2021. Objective: To assess the incidence density of reinfection among a cohort of HCWs and estimate the effectiveness of the inactivated whole virion vaccine BBV152 against reinfection. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a retrospective cohort study among HCWs working at a tertiary care center in New Delhi, India. Exposures: Vaccination with 0, 1, or 2 doses of BBV152. Main Outcomes and Measures: The HCWs were categorized as fully vaccinated (with 2 doses and ≥15 days after the second dose), partially vaccinated (with 1 dose or 2 doses with <15 days after the second dose), or unvaccinated. The incidence density of COVID-19 reinfection per 100 person-years was computed, and events from March 3, 2020, to June 18, 2021, were included for analysis. Unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model. Estimated vaccine effectiveness (1 - adjusted HR) was reported. Results: Among 15 244 HCWs who participated in the study, 4978 (32.7%) were diagnosed with COVID-19. The mean (SD) age was 36.6 (10.3) years, and 55.0% were male. The reinfection incidence density was 7.26 (95% CI: 6.09-8.66) per 100 person-years (124 HCWs [2.5%], total person follow-up period of 1696 person-years as time at risk). Fully vaccinated HCWs had lower risk of reinfection (HR, 0.14 [95% CI, 0.08-0.23]), symptomatic reinfection (HR, 0.13 [95% CI, 0.07-0.24]), and asymptomatic reinfection (HR, 0.16 [95% CI, 0.05-0.53]) compared with unvaccinated HCWs. Accordingly, among the 3 vaccine categories, reinfection was observed in 60 of 472 (12.7%) of unvaccinated (incidence density, 18.05 per 100 person-years; 95% CI, 14.02-23.25), 39 of 356 (11.0%) of partially vaccinated (incidence density 15.62 per 100 person-years; 95% CI, 11.42-21.38), and 17 of 1089 (1.6%) fully vaccinated (incidence density 2.18 per 100 person-years; 95% CI, 1.35-3.51) HCWs. The estimated effectiveness of BBV152 against reinfection was 86% (95% CI, 77%-92%); symptomatic reinfection, 87% (95% CI, 76%-93%); and asymptomatic reinfection, 84% (95% CI, 47%-95%) among fully vaccinated HCWs. Partial vaccination was not associated with reduced risk of reinfection. Conclusions and Relevance: These findings suggest that BBV152 was associated with protection against both symptomatic and asymptomatic reinfection in HCWs after a complete vaccination schedule, when the predominant circulating variant was B.1.617.2.

Impact of COVID-19 on People Suffering with Epilepsy.
Sureka, Rajendra K; Gaur, Vikas; Gupta, Medha.
Ann Indian Acad Neurol ; 24(1): 51-55, 2021.
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is one of the most common problems in neurology clinical practice and currently we are in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak. The coronavirus pandemic is an epidemiological and psychological crisis, which is likely to affect persons with epilepsy. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on patients with epilepsy and effects on their mental health. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a cross-sectional web-based survey carried out at the department of Neurology at a tertiary care hospital. A questionnaire was designed in the local language using Google Forms to assess basic knowledge regarding epilepsy, coronavirus, effects of COVID-19 and lockdown on epileptic patients and also effects on their mental health. The link to the online survey was distributed via WhatsApp messenger to epilepsy patients. RESULTS: One hundred fifty-six cases were enrolled with 69.1% were below 34 years of age and male: female ratio was 1.2:1. Only 34.3% of the participants were employed and 50% of patients had an income of less than Rs. 3000 per month. Of the patients enrolled, 20.5% reported the "devil" and superstitions as a cause of epilepsy and only 10% of patients thought that tantric (holy priest) could treat the disease better than doctors. 53.8% of patients worried about getting COVID-19 and could not stop thoughts about being infected by coronavirus bothering them. 30.3% patients had increased seizure frequency during COVID-19 pandemic, of which the most common reason was that they forgot to take regular antiepileptic drugs (22.7%) or they had faced difficulty in obtaining medicine due to lockdown (12.1%). During the pandemic, 17% of patients reported depression symptoms and another 21% reported anxiety symptoms. CONCLUSION: The current COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected patients with epilepsy and increased seizure frequency, depression, anxiety, unemployment, and financial difficulty in obtaining medication.

How has the MSP System Impacted You?
The Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) system is broken, and Medicare patients are often left hanging in the balance. If a Medicare beneficiary is injured and another entity is required to pay for their healthcare expenses – such as in a tort case, workers compensation claim, or auto insurance payment – there can often be significant disruptions in the future of that person's medical care. For example, someone injured in an auto accident could have Medicare deny coverage for an unrelated surgery years later.
Fill out the form below, and tell us how you've been impacted by the MSP system. We will never use your identifying information without your consent.

Tesla SolarCity deal to allow houses to generate and store electricity
Posted on 31 Aug 2016 by Aiden Burgess
Tesla has received approval to acquire solar panel company SolarCity for $2.6bn, in a move which comes at a financial crossroads for a solar industry, which is facing the prospect of an oversupply of solar panels.
Tesla Motors' Chief Executive, Elon Musk, is buying $65m of bonds from SolarCity Corp, a deal which comes after the money-losing solar panel company said it would cut operating costs to bring expenses in line with its reduced solar installation outlook.
SolarCity's recent economic dire straights and subsequent cost cutting is a reflection of an industry where solar manufacturers who have ramped up production now face a glooming glut of panels, which has forced companies such as SolarCity to adjust or face dire consequences.
A factor in the slow down for demand is the world's largest market of China and it's government's reduction of subsidies for solar farms commissioned after June 30.
Tesla dream receives approval from regulators
Tesla received approval from federal anti-trust regulators from the Federal Trade Commission to acquire the struggling SolarCity, a company in which Elon Musk has previous ties with, as Solar City's current largest shareholder and cousin of its CEO.
Tesla announced the merger of SolarCity in June and on August 1 proposed terms for the takeover; with owners of SolarCity shares to receive 0.11 shares of Tesla stock for every share of SolarCity stock they own.
SolarCity was offered 45 days to find a better deal from August 1 before the companies propose their deal to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, but despite this offer the deal is expected to move forward.
Although SolarCity has already accepted the deal, final approval of the deal will depend on independent shareholders.
Musk has said that one of his aims for acquiring SolarCity was to create an integrated solar platform through which houses could generate their own electricity, store that energy in a Tesla Powerwall and charge their electric vehicle.
Tesla stocks have slipped $21.00 since the announcement on 1 August and are currently trading at around $211.00.

The Agency's participation in the education and technology oriented show was aimed at shedding light on the UAE space sector's achievements and future developments, as well as highlighting the ongoing educational initiatives launched in collaboration with various local and international educational organisations.
The Agency's pavilion proved to be a compelling stop and witnessed a number of distinguished visitors including His Excellency Hussain Ibrahim Al Hammadi, UAE Minister of Education; His Excellency Sulaiman Al Mazroui, UAE Ambassador to the UK and His Excellency Major General Ahmed Naser Al Raisi, General Inspector at the Ministry of Interior.
The Agency's stand welcomed a number of delegations from several countries, including a delegation from the Saudi Ministry of Education and a delegation from Kuwait, further boosting partnerships within the MENA space sector.
Space enthusiasts at the stand were taken on an educational journey around the pavilion, engaging visitors with the Agency's ongoing and future projects, such as the Hope Probe and the UAE Astronaut Program. They were also briefed on the UAE's space policy, regulations and laws of the national space sector, in addition to the various educational and technological programmes currently under the Agency's wing.

The Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities (SIG/FCSI) has called on the Swiss government to designate so-called "escape property" as "cultural property seized as a result of Nazi persecution."
To accomplish this, it has also called for the appointment of an independent study commission for the study of cultural assets.
The handling of escape property and restitution claims in Switzerland is extremely difficult under the current rules. According to the SIG/FCSI, the outdated assumption still persists that people fleeing the Nazi regime sold their works of art at market prices and without need. Thus, many still assume today – often wrongly – that a fair deal was struck between the buyer and the seller.
In 1998, the Washington Declaration was signed by 44 states. It is a legally non-binding agreement that seeks to ensure that works of art confiscated by the Nazi regime are found and returned.
Likewise, the signatory states have undertaken to take the necessary steps to reach fair and just solutions. In recent years, the Washington Declaration has made it possible for well over a thousand paintings and art objects from some twenty states to be restituted to their owners or their heirs.
Switzerland is also a signatory to the Washington Declaration in 1998. However, the alpine country's interpretation of the principles regarding art on the run is much more restrictive.
In Switzerland, private art collections in particular usually take the same position as the Bührle Foundation, for example, that works of flight art should not be treated like looted art.
It was not until 2014 that there was a paradigm shift, when the Museum of art in Bern took over the art collection of Cornelius Gurlitt. It dealt with the difficult legacy in an exemplary manner by announcing that not only works looted by the Nazi regime would be returned to the rightful heirs. From then on, the Museum also sought "fair and equitable solutions" with possible heirs for objects that had escaped.
For the SIG/FCSI, the highest priority is that the distinction between looted art as well as escape art and escape property be abandoned in favour of the designation "Nazi-confiscated cultural property".
The Museum of art of Bern has also taken an exemplary approach here and has adapted the designation. In particular, the SIG/FCSI calls on the Swiss Confederation, as well as private and public museums, archives, private collectors, auction houses and libraries, to adopt the designation and definition "Nazi-confiscated cultural property".
It also demands that possible so-called "flight property" in Swiss museums and private collections be comprehensively investigated and, if claims are justified, restituted accordingly. The institutions concerned must actively and increasingly contribute to identifying and locating "cultural property seized as a result of Nazi persecution". In doing so, the examination of the individual case would be decisive.
The creation of an independent federal commission for the research and restitution of such cultural property can help in this work. This is also suggested by the Washington Declaration of 1998.
Accordingly, the SIG/FCSI welcomes parliamentary initiatives that are modelled on comparable commissions in other countries. Such a commission would be used, for example, to close gaps in the provenance of works so that "fair and equitable solutions" can be found.

Everton have this morning confirmed news that David Unsworth will take temporary charge of the Everton first team.
The Everton hierarchy are considering several candidates to replace Ronald Koeman. The Burnley manager, Sean Dyche, Watford's Marco Silva, the former Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti have been linked with the vacancy.
Unsworth is another candidate to replace Koeman on a permanent basis. The former Everton defender, who has flourished as manager of the club's under‑23s, took charge of one Premier League game after Roberto Martínez's sacking in 2016 and will reprise his caretaker role for Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie at Chelsea. The under-23s coach John Ebbrell will also be in the Everton dugout at Stamford Bridge.
Although Unsworth, 44, lacks managerial experience in the Premier League, he is highly regarded within Goodison and is likely to be given the next four matches until the international break – Chelsea, Leicester City, Lyon away and Watford – to impress.

Punta del Este, Uruguay: A Trip Report
A s I drove east from Montevideo on the Ruta Interbalnearia, it astounded me as to how many pedestrians and animals — as well as unsupervised children playing with their toys and bicycles — unabashedly treated the somewhat limited-access highway as though it was their own sidewalk or playground, seemingly oblivious to the occasional vehicle which sped by them.
I needed to be extra alert and careful while heading towards the resort town of Punta del Este, which is located approximately 134 kilometers east of Montevideo at the southernmost point of Uruguay and defines where the Rio de la Plata officially ends at the Atlantic Ocean. It was a relief to drive at highway speeds once I reached what I considered to be relatively open road — and the road was well-paved. The duration of the automobile trip is approximately two hours; and I arrive during the off-season greeted by weather which was sunny and pleasant — but not conducive to a typical beach day.
The car which I rented was the only vehicle parked in the parking lot for the Playa Brava, a beach facing the Atlantic Ocean. The town was desolate with many establishments closed; but I tried to imagine the throngs of crowds which supposedly descend onto this beach during the summer season. As I passed a closed refreshment stand — which looked more like it was abandoned — I walked onto the sand to see perhaps the most famous and recognizable landmark of Punta del Este.
Known as the Monumento de los Dedos or the Mano de Punta Del Este — the Monument of the Fingers or the Hand of Punta del Este respectively — Mario Irarrázabal created this sculpture of concrete and plastic reinforced with steel during the summer of 1982. His work of art is meant to warn swimmers from drowning in the rougher surf at La Barra further down the beach. The "middle finger" is approximately three times the height of an average person. Unfortunately, some of the concrete is cracked or missing — especially on the thumb.
Also in 1982, a small altar located further south along the coastline was inaugurated containing a painted wood sculpture of a virgin — created by Lazo, who was its sculptor — called the Virgen de la Candelaria. It is protected from the elements by glass in its brick arch enclosure.
A popular attraction is the Faro de Punta del Este — a lighthouse in which you may climb up approximately 45 meters using 150 steps to reach the balcony near the top where the crystal prisms brought from France for the illumination system are located. This landmark from November of 1860 was built by Tomás Libarena and created with a mixture of volcanic sand from Rome — considered to be harder than cement. It is located at Calle 2 de Febrero approximately four blocks north of the southernmost tip of Punta del Este. During the off-season, parking was absolutely no problem at all.
Drive northeast along the southeastern coast of Punta del Este along the Rambla Lorenzo Batlle Pacheco — which also has a designation of route 10 — approximately four miles or so; and you will be treated to the Maldonado Bridge, which was constructed as a stressed ribbon bridge. Driving over this unusual bridge is strange — as if over a tame version of the back of a Bactrian camel; and the bridge itself seemed rather impractical to me; as only small boats can pass underneath it. Still, I believe that it is worth seeing and driving over at least once.
There are other attractions and sights in Punta del Este in which you can participate. The Casa del Pueblo is a modern art museum which you may visit, for example.
You can take a boat ride of eight kilometers to Isla de Lobos, which is a nature reserve that is home to one of the largest sea lion colonies in the world. Be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours and anywhere between $50.00 and $80.00 per person — and that is in United States Dollars.
Expect meals at restaurants in Punta del Este to be more expensive than those found in Montevideo and Colonia del Sacramento — which I intend to feature in a future trip report — even during the off-season.
Punta del Este is a good day trip if you happen to be in Montevideo and have the time to spend. I do not know about visiting during the season; but when I visited, it was rather peaceful and quiet with no crowds whatsoever.
What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 1
37 Killed in Airplane Crash in Iran


This guest post comes from Ran at the Carling Partnership -- a recruitment company specialising in the brewing industry, not the Danish brewer! It's an overview of some of the training opportunities available world-wide for anyone wanting a job in beer. If you know of any other good ones, do please add a comment.
Over the past five years, the global beer industry has demonstrated high levels of growth, increasing in size by an average of 3.2% per annum (Ibisworld.com, 2015). The industry directly employs nearly half a million people world-wide with global revenues reaching an estimated $136 billion USD in 2015.
In recent years, growth in established beer markets like Europe and the United States remains relatively stable, while the levels of growth from emerging economies like China has accelerated. Between 2002 and 2011, the Chinese beer market went from being the same size as the US market, to double the size of the US market (Platologic.co.uk, 2015). In fact, the most popular beer in the world is a Chinese beer! Every day more people in emerging economies are beginning to enjoy beer which is driving the industry forward.
The past 10 years have been a period of great change within the beer industry. Many beer companies have been involved in mergers and acquisitions, creating huge multi-national businesses. The biggest four brewers in the market (AB InBev, SABMiller, Heineken and Carlsberg) now have a combined global market share of more than 50% (Economicsonline.co.uk, 2015).
At the same time, diversity has increased with new players entering the market and the craft beer movement taking off. In the United States it is estimated that craft beers now make up 11% (22.77 billion USD) of the market share, driving 22% ($19.6 billion USD) of sales growth (Sizemore, 2015). There are now thousands of small-scale craft breweries around the world.
This increase in diversity is good news for people looking to make a career in the industry. There are more employers competing for the best people and more job opportunities in diverse locations. The positive outlook for the global beer industry is a very good sign for people interested in working within the sector.
There are often opportunities for people to work their way up from these entry-level positions to more advanced jobs in beer production. If you are working at a smaller brewery, you may find yourself doing all kind of jobs around the place including helping the brewer with manual work.
For many of these production line roles in a brewery, various kinds of technical skills and experience are necessary. For example, to work in brewhouse operations, you will probably need experience working in factories, ability to maintain machinery, experience with electrical appliances and familiarity with the raw materials that go into making beer.
Some of the more advanced roles in beer production may require a college degree. Working as an operations manager for a large brewery will probably require a business, supply chain management, logistics or engineering degree.
Sales and marketing jobs in the brewing industry can be at the wholesaler, distributor or consumer level. You might be designing advertising campaigns for consumers, marketing your product to liquor shops or getting your brewery's beer into more bars. Most sales and marketing jobs will require relevant experience with some requiring a college degree.
Many marketing and sales positions only require sales experience and a general familiarity with beer and the brewing industry. That level of familiarity can be gained by working in a bar, liquor shop or by being a home-brewer.
With the increase in craft breweries, there has also been an increase in brewpubs. That is where the brewery has a pub directly attached to it. Brewpubs require hospitality workers with good beer knowledge. There are many jobs available for event managers, tour guides, beer educators and tasting room servers within the beer industry.
Just like any other business organisation, breweries need accountants, warehouse managers, logistics managers, administrators and business managers.

Excellent tool for SEO. Has all the functionality one could need.
Pros: Recommendations in the system based on keywords and preferred pages by keyword. Great site health audit check which lays out what needs to be fixed, by importance. (You can even assign value to to pages in Google Analytics, so you get a better idea of what to fix first.) Amazing team behind the product who is always looking for customer input to improve and add options. Assign specific tasks to people by function, such as assign a developer to fix a speed issue or assign a designer to add a meta description to a page. Track the progress of tasks assigned. System will auto mark something done when it detects a task is completed. Just an amazing product in so many ways. Training and certification cannot be beaten. My favorite part of Brightedge is that in the keyword analysis you can find high value, low competition keywords to write about. This helped us attain first page presence for some very high value keywords. We also used their help to start creating pages with Google Schema and had amazing results with that.
Cons: Their onboarding is excellent, yet it still takes some time to get used to the entire system of adding researching and adding keywords, mapping a keyword to a preferred page, and then getting and completing tasks. Once you understand it and get used to how it works, it is awesome. However you have to be extremely committed and spend quite a bit of time on a regular basis to make that happen.
Pros: We've been using Brightedge to drive our SEO efforts for the past several years. The toolset is full of features and drives the workflow for our SEO team. I love the dashboard they access on a daily basis that directs their work to the highest priority efforts.
We recently added their 'content' tools to the mix as well. Not as well versed here as we are just now training on the content tools- but I've been impressed with what I've seen so far.
Cons: There is so much to their offering that navigating and understand how to get what you want out of the tool can be difficult at times.
Pros: With BrightEdge, I have been able to prove not only SEO value to clients but use the software to help make decisions that answers questions like "Should we move into this new product market?" or "What is my market share?"
Cons: At times the software can take quite some time to load and if you're a multitasker or like getting things done quickly this can be a challenge.
Pros: BrightEdge Content has helped our marketing team identify search opportunities and effectively create targeted content to address long tail search queries in a way that would have been impossible otherwise.
Cons: At times, the workflow module within BrightEdge Content can be frustrating. We often execute content through contractors - communication and coordination can be clunky - this has improved as of late but we're still managing this outside of the system. That said, this is an SEO tool, not a workflow tool!
They've been a fantastic company to work with.
Pros: It's been so helpful to know exactly where to focus on and directly know what SEO changes to make (e.g., H1 title tags, meta descriptions).
Cons: The software takes a bit to get used to and at times is difficult to fully understand what to do, so we are able to fully optimize the site.
Cons: Concept of keyword groups and page groups is high maintenance if you need a lot of them. Would prefer to be able to tag keywords and pages instead.
Pros: Brightedge has a great academy to learn its system. It provides great insight, and teaches you how to use the platform so well.
Cons: I love everything about the software, if i have an issue, our Brightedge rep takes care of it quickly.
Definitely not worth enterprise spend!
Pros: The tool has some decent integrationsa and the cuce is pretty nice. I also really like the visualizations.
Cons: I really liked the quick answer reporting that the tool did when that feature first came out. I found though that it was massively inaccurate. I also found that to be the case with a lot of their ranking reports. They don't even offer robust local ranking reports(true local maps ranking).
BrightEdge is consistently the most accurate and useful tool in my SEO arsenal.
Pros: DataCube is certainly the headliner with BrightEdge, offering powerful insights into virtually any keyword or related keywords. Whether you're looking for additional information on a specific keyword, web page or domain, this tool will deliver all the information you need to execute your SEO strategy.
Cons: There can be a bit of a learning curve if you're coming to BrightEdge from other SEO and analytical platforms, but this is lessened somewhat by the company's thorough (though a bit dry) training materials.
Pros: Love how this tool integrates with analytics, and is able to compare our keywords against a short list of our competitors.
Cons: It was a bit clunky to use when we first started working with it, but with the help from the Brightedge team, we were able to navigate through it. After a year of use, we are extremely happy with the results.
Pros: This is an excellent SEO tool in the market, the features are plenty and needs to be exploited if one really is actively working on improving search ranking. Customer support team and tech support is great, they answer your queries patiently. I liked datacube and opportunity forcasting a lot.
Pros: As someone who has been working in SEO for the past 8 years I love that that this tool consolidates a lot of the key features and functions I need to do my job into one tool. The opportunity forecast is one of the most useful features and is great when I need to create pitches and proposals for new clients as it shows the ROI on investment into SEO . I also like the user interface and ability to create custom dashboards for clients.
Cons: Like many of these more sophisticated platforms you only get out what you put in and it does take some time to fully learn how to use this in order to get the most value for what you pay. However I found the training material pretty useful.
Cons: super complicated and convoluted. you can find the information you're looking for elsewhere more easily.
Pros: The data cube is incredibly insightful, It is a great way to evaluate content or SEO opportunities.
Cons: The layout of this platform isn't the most visually stimulating. Good software but could use a facelift.
Pros: It's very comprehensive and detailed. Also works great for massive sites.
Cons: It can be overwhelming with all the information and priorities that it gives you.
Cons: It's sometimes hard to navigate the different menus to find the features I'm looking for - not all of the options are named intuitively.
Pros: Great set of tools and features. Great when working with multiple domains. Learning tools provided have been a great asset.
Cons: No true cons that I can think of. Maybe choose the correct tool in the beginning?

Q: Express dynamic dropdown menu This question has been asked before but not fully resolved.
So I have one dropdown menu and depending on user's selection a second dropdown menu will populate with specific choices.
Javascript
  router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
  res.render('index', {
          title: 'Design your one line.',
          moduleType: moduleType,
          moduleManufacturer: moduleManufacturer,
          modTableTitle: modTableTitle,
      }
  );
});

var modTableTitle = "Module Specification";

var moduleManufacturer = [];
var newArray = [];
    for (var x in moduleType.specs) {
        newArray[x] = moduleType.specs[x].Manufacturer;
        if (newArray[x] != newArray[x-1]) {
            moduleManufacturer.push(newArray[x]);
        }
}

EJS
            </div>
            <select class="form-control" name="selectModuleManufacturer">
                <option selected disabled>Select Module Manufacturer</option>
                <% for (var x in moduleManufacturer) { %>
                <option><%= moduleManufacturer[x]; %></option>
                <% } %>
            </select>
        </div>

The second dropdown contains specs of the manufacturer selected and it's all part of a json object, so can someone help me write the second part? Appreciate it.

Q: Categories widget in sidebar I created a widget and assigned the following values to it:

*

*Type: Catalog Category Link

*Design Package/Theme: rwd / default

*Widget Instance Title: Categories

*Sort Order: 1

Now I want it displayed in the sidebar below the default poll.  How do I do that?

A: I think your best call is to create a static block in CMS > Static Blocks, insert the widget within it, and then adjust your theme local.xml to insert the static block there:
<catalog_category_default>

     <reference name="left">
          <block type="cms/block" name="your_block_name" after="the_poll_identifier">
              <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>your_block_id</block_id></action>
          </block>
     </reference>

</catalog_category_default>


Adam and his team discussed in detail the most beneficial and cost effective method of bringing the standard of our garden space up to a high quality outdoor living environment. They identified a clear design plan and outlined the costs which we considered to be extremely competitive. The work was undertaken over the course of a week with minimal interruption to our life, to a high level of expertise and professional conscientiousness.
The result was the complete transformation of our garden from an unused patch of field grass to a top quality outdoor room, which added significant value to both our enjoyment of the home and the value of the property. We highly recommend the team and would not hesitate in using them again.
I found Landywood Landscaping very pleasant and trustworthy and their work was of a very high standard. What they quoted is what I paid, they worked around the budget I had and provided all the materials from start to finish, matching new materials with existing ones. The quality of materials they used matched the quality of their work. I fully recommend this company and would use them again in future projects!
We had a gravel driveway installed by Landywood Landscaping and were over the moon with the finished job. It looks fantastic and they helped make sure the job was kept within my budget.
Landywood Landscaping have done work for us in 2013 and 2014. Both jobs have been to an excellent standard. The prices are competitive and the quality of the workmanship is very good. I would recommend them for their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction.


Breastfeeding and the duration breastfeeding is sustained with a woman's first child has a measured impact on whether the woman will have more children. A study has found that women who breastfeed their first child for five months or longer are more likely to have three or more children, and less likely to have only one child, than women who breastfeed for shorter durations or not at all.
Surprisingly, no laws exist surrounding a certain aspect of being a sperm donor; it is technically not illegal for a doctor to donate their own sperm to a patient without informing them.

Ollie Crawford: Air Force advocate laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery
Home / Ollie Crawford: Air Force advocate laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery
By David DeKunder 2019-08-07 Category: Top Stories
Crawford died July 21 in San Antonio two days after turning 94 years old. Born on July 19, 1925, in Amarillo, Texas, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II at the age of 18 as an aviation student, earning his wings and commission in early 1945.


Pictures are some wings with a side of fries, XXTRA Flamin Hot Chicharrones, XXTRA Flamin Hot Elote and the popular Mangonada with chunks of mango on the straw.
French fries covered in melted cheese and Flamin' Hot Cheetos powder. Sweet milk tea with tapioca pearls in the bottom and crispy popcorn chicken with a side of fries.
Both are featured on the unique menu at Zero Degrees Humble.
The fast growing Asian-Hispanic fusion eatery recently opened its Humble location in mid-November.
Humble Owner Edward Dang and General Manager Chris Le, a former Zero Degrees employee at the Willowbrook location, were looking for a great spot in the northeast Houston area and settled their business at the intersection of Townsen Boulevard and FM 1960 in the same strip center with Walmart.
Le said the business partners thought about what look would appeal to the customers when renovating the store to meet their needs.
The Humble general manager said what draws a younger crowd to the Asian-Hispanic chain is their usage of mason jars for their drinks, travel bottles and creative food menu items.
The Mangonada, a mango slush with fruit chunks topped with chamoy is an all-time favorite for many on the Zero Degree's menu. The drink also features Tajin, a chile powder, to give it a sweet, spicy and salty kick.
When you visit Zero Degrees you will see many of the items there are topped with Flamin' Hot Cheetos powder, such as the XXTRA Flamin Hot Elotes, XXTRA Flamin Hot Chilotes, XXTRA Flamin Hot Chicharrones and XXTRA Flamin Hot Cheese Fries.
Zero Degrees is an Asian-Hispanic fusion inspired chain with with various locations in seven states. Zero Degrees has 8 locations in Houston area alone in areas such as Humble, Bellaire, Katy and Pearland with 5 locations opening up in Baytown, North Houston, South East Houston and Sugarland.
