CITY CATHOLICS SAY RED HAT FITS HIM
By Dan Kadison
February 20, 2001 | 5:00am
Excited New York Catholics yesterday said they have faith that Archbishop Edward Egan – set to become a cardinal tomorrow – is a worthy successor to their beloved John Cardinal O'Connor.
"From what I've heard about . . . Egan, he's a good man and will fill the shoes of Cardinal O'Connor, who we miss very much," said Mary Maggio, 55, an Upper West Side art student.
"I hope he continues with what Cardinal O'Connor did, trying to promote an ecumenical spirit in the city with all the diverse cultures and religions."
New York Archbishop Egan, Fordham University theologian the Rev. Avery Dulles, and Washington, D.C., Archbishop Theodore McCarrick will be among the 44 people made cardinals by Pope John Paul II during a special ceremony in Rome tomorrow.
Outside St. Patrick's Cathedral yesterday, fans of the 68-year-old Egan, who became archbishop of New York after the death of O'Connor last year, rejoiced in his upcoming achievement.
"It's a great honor, and it's also exciting as someone starts as a new spiritual leader in the New York Archdiocese," said William Boozan, 45, a doctor from the Upper East Side, who hopes Egan will use his position to bring together his fellow Catholics.
"There's been some fragmentation of New York Catholics based on past political commentary," Boozan said, referring to the church's position on birth control and gays.
"I think Catholics are looking for more of a feeling of unification and less disenfranchisement."
At the Fordham campus in The Bronx, students praised theology professor Dulles, 82, the first American academic to be named a cardinal. He is the son of former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles.
"From being an altar boy and always wanting to go to the Vatican, it's nice to know a good person is helping the church," said Pete Zito, 19, a sophomore and finance major at Fordham.
Zito, a rugby player who had a class with Dulles last semester, said the soon-to-be cardinal was a supporter of the school's team and gave them blessings at the start of the season.
"He's just a good guy," Zito said.

Business analysts get it right away. They see the obvious value of a custom business intelligence tool built specifically to help them make the decisions they need to make. With these purpose-built tools at their disposal, they are likely to realize an immediate time savings. And, even better, after being freed from the grind of monotonous report-building, they can apply their newfound mental energy and spot something in the data they may not have seen otherwise.
However, that time-savings and potential insight gain — along with the rationale for investing in the development of these tools — isn't obvious to everyone. As I meet with clients and potential new clients, I talk a lot about the past work we've done — and how the tools we build have generated real ROI for our partners.
But recently, I was stumped by a question from an unexpectedly curious source. My oldest daughter asked me to explain why my "clients" paid me to do what we do. It forced me to rethink how I explain the value of our work. It wasn't until later that day when I thought of something that might help her understand.
They weren't wrong. When an ERP is the sole source of company data, it serves as the foundation for many purposes. But, I explained to them, an out-of-the-box ERP won't satisfy the needs of analysts who are repeatedly trying to make decisions that the ERP isn't designed to help with. For example, a product line manager might want to know, "How many products should I carry? How many sizes? How many colors?" That's where the custom BI development that we do comes into play. We can build the tools that plug into an ERP or any type of company system of record.
We filter out the noise for the analyst, giving them the signal they need to do their jobs without the distraction.
Tabitha has 3 plums, and is walking to meet Annabelle when she bumps into Joe, who has 3 peaches. Annabelle and Joanie walk to meet Joe. Joanie has 3 apples and Annabelle has 8, and she bets Annabelle one apple that her apples are tastier. They each try both types of apples. Joanie loses the bet and gives Annabelle her last apple. Tabitha, meanwhile, bumps into her classmate Sadie, who loves plums. Sadie trades Tabitha her three plums in exchange for five apples. In a nearby orchard, Tom and his brother Adrian are picking apples. Tom picks 13 and Adrian pulls 8 off the tree – but they each accidentally drop 4 apples to the ground, making them inedible. Later on that night, they all meet at Tabitha's house and decide to give 20% of their good apples to the food bank. How many did they give?
Tabitha has 5 apples. Annabelle has 7. Tom has 9. Adrian has 4. They agree to give 20% of their apples to the food bank. How many did they give?
Hopefully, like my daughter did, you've realized that the above word problems involve some of the same math — and the answer, in both cases, is 5 apples. But in Example 1, there are a lot of additional people, fruits, and numbers, making it much more cumbersome to solve. Example 2 takes a lot less time to answer.
Now, analogous to Example 1, imagine one business analyst who logs into a complex ERP system loaded with data. She searches through layers of information, performing mental gymnastics to simply find the numbers she is looking for. And think about another analyst who has a purpose-built tool that automatically extracts only the information she needs — and in the format she needs to act on it immediately. Much time is saved. And without the noise, she still has the mental stamina to do more analysis and creatively solve some tricky business problems. Now imagine it's your job to do this type of analysis dozens of times per week. Which analyst would you rather be?
That's what we do here at eAlchemy. And that's why companies can realize tremendous ROI from creating custom business intelligence tools for their analysts.
Putting metaphors aside, one project we completed for a Fortune 500 retailer highlights the value of purpose-built BI tools.
We created a markdown management tool designed specifically to help our client's planning managers monitor, in near real-time, sales of seasonal apparel. For example, let's take the bathing suit. Bathing suits hit stores (and online) en masse starting in April. Retailers want to sell-through thousands of units in inventory by early August. To do so, they need to constantly monitor and adjust pricing on the different items and sizes.
Our client's goal is to sell through inventory at the highest price. And for items that don't sell as expected, it's important to the bottom line to quickly respond to poor sales. Decreasing the price on a slow-selling product early in the season is much better for the bottom line than waiting until later in the season — and having massive "close-out" discounts to clear out unwanted inventory.
Our client had many tools to help the executive team monitor sales, revenue, and margin. But none offered a good view for markdown decisions. Surfacing the specific data to help this analysis — in an optimal layout designed for this purpose — enabled the planning managers to quickly make critical pricing decisions. Maybe more importantly, it allowed team members to identify important trends and anomalies they wouldn't have otherwise. The tool we created also saved 3-4 hours of time that it took each analyst to prepare similar reports. By alleviating that preparation burden, the team could run the analysis more quickly and more often.
Ultimately, this purpose-built business intelligence tool saved our client's team a lot of time and was a boost to profits because of the improved margin it enabled.
More time and more money – now those are benefits that even my kids can understand.

why does the turn barrel look bad? Q should be hitting his range more no?
so basically 1 over and bdfd is standard call because he cbets 100%?
I agree with Spitfire, I thought when overcards close to the top card (say J-K in this case) come off usually that's good for the c-bettors range after a small c-bet. But perhaps in this case his sizing is so small that almost all hands with any overcards at all are calling so they aren't as advantageous to his range as normal?
it's extremely standard to flat flop with Q7ss, and would be a big error to fold it, from what i can tell. I havn't studied HU much but my guess is drone should fold about 15-20% of his range to this flop cbet. the queen turn is not a big game changer since drone has almost all of them in his range. the only Qx that fold to flop cbet would be Qxdd weak hands.
what about the river call here? I mean if we have to defend like half of our holdings isn't Q7s still pretty low down the rank? Or do we choose the Qx we defend only by the bdoor flush draws/straight draws that they don't block (here it's hearts)?

Juror and Jury decision making
In this line of research, we have focused on evaluating how jurors make decisions in various contexts, with the goal of helping jurors make the best possible decisions. We have explored how jurors process evidence such as confession evidence or expert testimony, testing how jurors perceive the evidence and mechanisms or procedural safeguards to help improve their comprehension. We have also explored how jurors make decisions in certain types of cases, such as juvenile waiver cases or sexual harassment cases, examining how the context and procedural aspects of the case affect decision making. Last, we are interested in examining the group decision making process, integrating information from models of juror decision making with group process variables to understand the deliberation process.

I'm not sure why I decided to make this salad but probably because I had a craving for Thai food. So it was with this in mind that prompted us to visit the Thai supermarket at Golden Mile Complex. Besides housing a supermarket, this complex also has small eateries, travel businesses, money changers, hair saloons and other small establishments that cater to the local Thai community.
There is a particular eatery here which both my husband and I really like because they do a very good Thai beef ball noodle. Their other scrumptious dishes includes phad thai, som tam (spicy mango salad) and minced chicken fried in spicy basil.
This is a really simple and hardly takes long to put together. It's also full of flavours due to the amount of herbs and garnishing used. You can opt to have this as a light lunch or alternatively serve it as a side salad.
1) Cut pork fillets in half horizontally. Combine sugar, rind and oil in large bowl. Add sliced pork and toss to coat in mixture. Cook pork in batches in a heated lightly oiled frying pan over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until cooked.
2) Meanwhile, place kaffir lime dressing ingredients into a screw top jar and shake well. Alternatively you can mix everything into a bowl. Adjust to taste.
3) Place pork in large bowl with remaining vegetables and herbs. Add the dressing and toss to combine. Serve as a side dish or a light meal.
This recipe sounds awesome with lovely combination of ingredients.Looks delicious.

Cort Theatre seating chart
The Cort Theatre has a capacity of 1021 seats, including 478 seats in the Orchestra, 260 seats in the Mezzanine and 283 seats in the Balcony. Use our interactive seating chart to view 16 seat reviews and 15 photos of views from seat.
The Cort Theatre first opened in 1912 at 138 West 48th Street, slightly removed from the main bustle of Broadway venues that sit east of 7th Avenue. It was built by and named after John Cort, a Seattle-based actor and producer who headed up the Northwestern Theatrical Association, although ownership transferred to the Shubert Organization in 1927. After a period as a TV studio in the mid-20th century, the Cort Theatre was renovated and restored to its theatrical best in 1974.
With its French-inspired design, the Cort Theatre is the only surviving and active Broadway theater designed by architect Thomas Lamb. From the classic and elegant exterior inspired by 18th century Versailles to Marie Antoinette plasterwork in the lobby, the Cort Theatre is a handsome and intimate venue which has mainly welcomed intimate plays and drama onto its stage.
Notable productions at the Cort Theatre include Grace Kelly's Broadway debut in The Father (1949), Sunday in New York (1961) starring Robert Redford, and Nicole Kidman's memorable turn in The Blue Room (1998). More recently, the Tony Award-winning Fences (2010) brought Denzel Washington and Viola Davis to the Cort, and new play Indecent was a huge success in 2017.
There is a 1,092-seat capacity in the Cort Theatre, spread across the Orchestra, Mezzanine and Balcony. The Orchestra is the largest section, split into Left, Right and Center; the Mezzanine and Balcony above are similarly laid out, although about half the size. Views are generally very good across all three sections. An excellent view is afforded from the Center Orchestra and the front rows of the Center Mezzanine in particular. On all levels, sightlines are more partial at the sides, with the cheapest seats in the very steep and cramped Balcony.
•	Children under four are not permitted into the theater
•	Step-free access from the street into accessible seating
•	Cloakroom is available in winter; bags aren't accepted
•	No accessible restroom – patrons can use one at the Renaissance Hotel
Good value seats
There are plenty of good value seats at the Cort Theatre. Rows E to J in the Center Orchestra are cheaper than premium with a good view of the stage, whilst the back rows of the Mezzanine benefit from their overhead position. For patrons on a strict budget, you can't go wrong with one of the very affordable Balcony seats.
The best seats in the Cort Theatre are across the front rows of the Center Orchestra and Center Mezzanine. For patrons preferring a really intimate view of the show, the front rows of the Orchestra are ideal. Those who like more of an overview can opt for the premium row A in the Center Mezzanine.

Fiction triumphs over fact again in Twentieth Century-Fox's "Little Tokyo, U. S. A.," which arrived yesterday at the Palace on the short end of a double-bill program featuring Charlie Chaplin's modernized classic, "The Gold Rush." The new Fox contribution is topical melodrama, absolutely authentic as to details about incidents of espionage plotted in Los Angeles's Japanese colony before Pearl Harbor. The producers say so, pointing out that they culled this data from Dies committee records. But they might just as well have avoided this painstaking research, because the film as a whole is so larded with hackneyed plot devices and stock Nipponese characters that it smacks more of the conventional spy story than anything else.As the film goes, only one man in all Los Angeles had any idea about what the outwardly friendly Nipponese were up to. He was detective Michael Steele, and as politics would have it, poor Steele got himself into an incredibly complicated mess with his own superiors as well as with agents of the Black Dragon Society before he was able to expose the spies. Preston Foster, who knows how to play a cop, gives an easy-going performance, which is the chief virtue of this otherwise mediocre melodrama.

Our pluto
Pluto and its new maps caught by The New Horizons
Posted on November 28, 2019 by Neil
There has been some time since the probe named New Horizons had the mission of receiving brand new information about Pluto and its moons. As it is so far away from the Earth, we still have some doubts about its composition and even some experts still consider that hundreds of years would be necessary to get meaningful data about the dwarf planet. Thankfully, the last reports of the NASA show us great detailed pictures of Pluto and one of its moons, Charon. Thankfully, we did not have to wait so much.
Description of the Pluto
Before starting with the new information received about Pluto, we are going to summarize some information about it. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt, although it was considered a planet for many years. At the same time, Pluto was the first object to be discovered in that ring of bodies. Being discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 as the ninth planet from the Sun, many researchers questioned due to the discovery of similar objects in size in the after mentioned Kuiper belt.
At the end, the IAU (International Astronomical Union) decided to redefine the term "planet". That definition reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet, not like the standards. But we have to remember that even though is smaller than other planets, it still having moons. It is known for having five moons: Charon (the largest, with a diameter just over half that of Pluto), Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra. And all those information and further details are being researched thanks to space probes, such as the current New Horizons.
The New Horizon's
The interplanetary space probe known as New Horizons was launched as a part of NASA's New Frontiers program. The spacecraft was launched in 2006 with the primary mission of watching details of Pluto in 2015, and a secondary mission to fly and study one or more of the other Kuiper belt objects in the next decade. It is the first spacecraft in history to have ever explored the Pluto, and it is going to fulfill some other missions in the future.
By using the telescope with an 8.2-inch aperture named the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI), scientists could catch amazing pictures of Pluto. This would be impossible in normal circumstances, but the New Horizon's telescope has a digital camera able to withstand the savage cold of the space. Although many researchers doubted that LORRI could have success, in 2015 the results were simply shocking.
Thanks to the New Horizons space probe, amazing data (in form of maps) has been collected about Pluto and its moon Charon. Those maps help us to have a better understanding about the geography of the dwarf planet and its moon.
Pluto's geography updates
The level of detail is simply wonderful. The cartographic and topographic maps detail many aspects of Pluto. Before it was just a dream but thanks to the pictures, now we can see the Sputnik Planitia, an ice sheet of 625 miles that is on the average of 1.5 miles thick, now considered the lowest known area on Pluto's surface.
The maps also offer new looks to the Tenzing Montes, the tallest mountain range on Pluto. Formed at the southwestern margins of the Sputnik Planitia, the mountain icy peaks have steep slopes of 40 degrees. Even the highest peak of Pluto can be perceived too. This is named Nepalese (based on the climber Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, companion of Edmund Hillary) and its range is the highest peak of the dwarf planet, as it is approximately 3.7 miles above Pluto's mean elevation, equivalent to the planet's sea level. It is important to remark that the nitrogen ice that makes up the Sputnik Planitia, for example, would be too weak to maintain a mountain range even in Pluto's low gravity.
Charon, one of the moons of Pluto
Charon interestingly described in the map too. The tiny moon has depressions of 8.7 miles deep, being deeper than the Marianas Trench, and the maps reaffirm that Charon likely has volcanoes of ice (known as Cryovolcanoes).
Some information unknown by scientists about the distant celestial bodies was revealed. such as the longest continuous feature on Pluto that is apparently an eroded ridge and trough system stretching 1864 miles from north to south alongside the western side of the Sputnik Planitia. Researchers still do not know how that fracture was formed.
Now that the maps are available to the public, everyone is going to enjoy Pluto's surface. Additionally, some research papers are describing the maps that have been published in the journal Icarus. The Scientifics and people of the world are very grateful to the New Horizons project, and we cannot wait until this probe is going to give us more information for mankind, as it woke up of a recent hibernation. Next, we hope to watch pictures of the asteroid known as the Ultima Thule. Until that happens, we are going to be waiting for further updates of the NASA about Pluto.

Tyler Reddick Races to Top-Ten Finish in JAR Debut at COTA
Jordan Anderson Racing NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Report – Circuit of the Americas; May 22, 2021
Track: Circuit of the Americas- Road Course (3.41 Miles)
Race: Pit Boss 250
Format: 46 Laps –14/16/16; 156.86 Miles
No. 31 Bommarito Automotive Group Chevrolet Camaro SS – Tyler Reddick
Start: 5
Stage 1: 2
Finish: 8
Laps Completed: 46 of 46
Laps Led: 0
Stage One Recap:
– Reddick would start the Pit Boss 250 from the 5th position after a great qualifying effort in the rain. Reddick would complete Round 1 of Qualifying in the 7th position with a time of 2:43:468 to earn a spot in the Final Round. As rain and very wet track conditions continued to plague the entire qualifying session Reddick would prove his extra practice on the road courses would may off running a 2:41:52 in the Final Round to stack up 5thfastest.
– All cars were allowed to come down pit road after the initial pace laps to change tires from qualifying. All teams would choose to switch from the Goodyear Eagle Wet tire to the Goodyear Eagle Slick as the track had become dry enough in most locations.
– As the green flag waved and the cars hurled up the hill towards Turn-1, Reddick would get shuffled back to the 8th spot at the exit of the first turn and would remain there until being able to move past No. 36- Labbe on Lap-6 to move into the seventh position.
– Reddick would remain in the seventh position until the caution would wave on Lap-11. All of the leaders would pit except for AJ Allmendinger and Reddick they would elect to stay on track and take their chances on earning Stage points.
– On the restart Reddick would follow leader Allmendinger to compete the green-white-checkered and finish Stage 1 in the 2nd position.
– With a Second-place stage finish the No. 31 would earn 9 valuable bonus points towards the Owner's Championship Point Standings.
Stage Two Recap:
-At the stage break, Reddick would come to pit lane for four new Goodyear wet tires, fuel, and an adjustment. During the pit stop the jack would fall costing the team a few valuable seconds and track position. Reddick would restart in the 24th position.
-Not wasting anytime Reddick would advance to the 16th position by Lap-19.
– Moving past car after car to the 12th spot by Lap-25, Reddick would pit early before the end of the stage similar to what the leaders did in Stage 1.
– After a green flag pitstop for Four Tires, Fuel and an Adjustment Reddick would blind back into the field in the 23rd position.
– With just four laps remaining, Reddick would remain in the 23rd position when the green-checkered flag waved on lap 30.
Final Stage:
-Under the stage break, Crew Chief Arthur Haire would elect for Reddick to remain on track after already pitting just four laps prior. The decision would earn the No. 31 Bommarito Chevrolet valuable track position.
-Restarting in the 15th position with only 15-Laps left Reddick knew he would need quickly advance positions, and quickly advance is what he did moving to 13th in just four laps and to 9th just two laps later.
-When the checkered flag flew on Lap-46, Reddick would cross the line in the 8th position. Giving JAR its first top-ten finish in the NXS, and the valuable points needed to be one step closer to making the Top-40 in the owner's point standings.
Pit Boss 250 Recap:
– Kyle Busch captured his first NXS victory of 2021 and ninety-eighth of his NXS career beating #16- AJ Allmendinger by 11-seconds. #7- Justin Allgaier, #5- Kevin Harvick and #22- Austin Cindric rounded out the top five.
– #20-Harrison Burton, #17-Cole Custer, #31-Tyler Reddick (first start for Jordan Anderson Racing), #11-Justin Haley and #10-Jeb Burton made up the rest of the top 10.
– There were six lead changes among five drivers and four cautions for seven yellow flag laps.

Groningen estate houses are generally stone houses built in the Middle Ages where the rich could flee in times of danger. In later centuries, these stone houses were extended and turned into beautiful homes, called 'borgen' in Dutch. Unfortunately, many of them were demolished, leaving only 16 out of approximately 200. The most famous three are open to the public; other Groningen estate houses are open during restricted hours or can be rented for weddings, conferences, etc. The Allersmaborg is the Alumni House for the University of Groningen. For more information on 'borgen', please visit the website of Tourism Groningen.

And many thanks to my friend (and occasional cyber-therapist), Spaz–a damn good poet herself, by the way–for helping unstick me when I was stuck.
Any poet worth his salt has something tug at his arm about every piece he pens.
I have revisited work months later and tweaked the language.
difficult to escape once I turned from the page. Very fine work that.
Just my impression, I felt you built the front of the poem to support the final ideas.
That is always a difficult task.
find my poetry engaging. I will make it a point to find more time to read yours.
Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for the kind words. You really seem to have gotten into my head here; the points you touch on are pretty much what I was thinking about when I wrote it, and furthermore when I revised it.
Oh, no…it is I who must thank you. For many things.
Damn, I get stuck on comments. I get stuck all the time.

Donald Trump 'Furious' At Fox News For Having Some Critical Coverage Of Him During Impeachment, Report Says
Nathan Francis
Donald Trump is "furious" that Fox News has included some coverage that is critical of him during the impeachment hearings, a new report claims.
A report from Vanity Fair claims that Trump has decided an "all-out brawl" strategy in response to the fast-moving impeachment process, launching frequent attacks against critics and witnesses alike. A former White House official told the outlet that the president believes this is working and that Democrats are "blowing it," but is apparently angry that he seems to have lost the full and unconditional backing of his favorite news outlet.
The source claimed that Trump was angry to see Fox News carrying live coverage of the impeachment hearings, which included some commentary that criticized his alleged role in pressuring Ukraine to dig up dirt on Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden.
"He's pissed. He thinks Fox screwed him," the source said.
While Fox News generally offers favorable coverage, especially among its pundits, some of those on the news side have offered more critical views of the president's behavior. Andrew Napolitano, the network's legal analyst, said recently that the evidence of Trump's impeachable behavior is "overwhelming." In an interview with Nick Gillespie of Reason prior to Democrats announcing their intention to move forward with two articles of impeachment, Napolitano said he believes the hearings turned up three or four potential articles.
He also said that Trump hadn't seemed to put up a defense for himself as the behavior appeared indefensible.
"He hasn't presented a defense and I don't know if he plans to," Napolitano said. "The evidence of his impeachable behavior at this point, in my view, is overwhelming."
As The Inquisitr reported, veteran reporter Chris Wallace has also been more critical of the president. Wallace pushed back against former special counsel Ken Starr on Monday, saying that Trump's impeachment is much broader than the one pursued against former President Bill Clinton using evidence gathered by Starr.
"I'm not talking about whether or not this story is true or not. But the allegation that President Trump conditioned support for a key foreign policy ally on political benefit to him strikes me as not narrow but far broader than the Clinton impeachment and the effort that was made by you and Republicans then to impeach him," Wallace said to Starr.
Trump has been more public regarding his concerns with Fox News in recent months, taking to Twitter to vent about what he sees as critical coverage or air time given to pundits who oppose him.

How did the first sales of works by Max Ernst, Joan Miró or Salvador Dalí come about and how did the works arrive from their workshops on private walls? Which art dealers and galleries represented these artists, which prices were first achieved for the paintings and through which other channels did these art works find buyers? Unlike other avant-garde artists such as Expressionism or Cubism, the first years of Surrealist movement lack one great name amongst dealers. Julia Drost will examine the reasons behind this fact.

I've been house hacking the last 4 years, buying, rehab and selling my personal residences. Im finally in a house I want to stay in fora few years and also have some cash reserves formy flips.
I purchased this home in December for 289k with an appraised value of 320. Now with updated apprasial came in at 376k.
Will lenders do a HELOC on a home ive only owned for a month? Will they let me use the new appraised value for LTV? Id like to go 90% LTV. Any recommendations on who to talk to here in Florida who may offer something like what im looking for?
I know BB&T and TD Bank will allow it but you will have to proof that you live in the house. So homestead exemption filing, utility bill and driver's license with the current address will be an acceptable proof.
What LTV do they go to?
also what kind of debt ratios do they allow?

SPC-CePaCT Article: Disease-resistant banana varieties for food security...
SPC-CePaCT Article: Disease-resistant banana varieties for food security in the Pacific region
Disease-resistant banana varieties for food security in the Pacific region
Friday 13th December 2013, Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) – Suva
New technology for the commercial production of banana and variants using tissue culture and field methods were some key lessons learnt at the training held at the Taiwan Banana Research Institute in October this year.
The Training was coordinated by Banana Asia Pacific Network (BAPNET) in collaboration with Bioversity International and the Taiwan Banana Research Institute. It was attended by 23 participants representing 13 countries from the Asia Pacific Region, Africa and the Caribbean.
Ms Logotonu M. Waqainabete, Acting Curator for SPC's Centre for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT), based in Suva, Fiji attended this meeting.
One of the topics discussed during the training was the concept of somaclonal variation (i.e. the variation seen in plants that have been produced by plant tissue culture) and its application in crop improvement programmes that are used by some commercial companies for producing unique traits and variations in crops.
When commercial and conventional breeding programmes do not provide the selected traits required for resistance to herbicides, chemical and environment stresses and certain pests and diseases, somaclonal variation can be used to create new mutants or variants that can resist some deadly diseases.
For example, fusarium wilt (Panama disease) is a fungal disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense, specifically FOC TR4, for which there is no effective chemical control known so far. Fusarium wilt is considered by most banana producing and exporting countries to be one of the most catastrophic plant diseases in the world, destroying more than 40,000 ha of banana in Central and South America over a period of 50 years.
There is no record of FOC TR4 in the Pacific region, so it is very important that CePaCT can access somaclonal variants of banana that can resist fusarium wilt, in order to help Pacific Island countries prepare well in advance in case the pathogen does come to Pacific shores.
The training in Taiwan was the outcome of the 8th Steering Committee meeting of Asia-Pacific countries involved in BAPNET held in Taiwan in November 2012. Countries were concerned about the fatal impacts of FOC TR 4 and the Taiwan Banana Research Institute has been successful in producing some somaclonal lines that can sustain their banana industry, despite the presence of fusarium wilt.
The Pacific region has limited resources to implement research and development in banana improvement, as banana breeding itself has its own challenges, expensive but slow. A few bananas produce few seed sets, often with low germination rates, resulting in not much diversity of new varieties produced for evaluation.
Similarly, access to wild types is quite difficult, which is important for breeding for resistance to certain diseases and for nutritional content. In this aspect, somaclonal variation and other techniques are very relevant in creating new diversity.
The work of CePaCT is also central to sourcing new, improved diversity from international agricultural research centre genebanks and imported banana varieties from Bioversity International based in Belgium and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in Australia.
CePaCT is actively distributing over 30 banana varieties to Pacific countries for evaluation, and requests are received from countries for selected varieties that grew well in their countries.
SPC is currently a member of BAPNET, actively represented by CePaCT. This collaboration has contributed tremendously to some of the major research developments in the Pacific, mainly in the area of ba nana collection and conservation through the work of CePaCT.

Culture and Traditional Knowledge


There is a great need to increase the efficiency of marine research. Building global ocean mapping infrastructure is difficult given the financial costs and human effort required in traditional oceanographic technology. Remote sensing technology (such as multibeam sonar and satellite imagery) is insufficient on its own as it cannot penetrate past the ocean surface. Robotics models that have traditionally been used exclusively on solo missions are relatively limited in scope. Understanding our Oceans poses technological challenges, but Dr. Oscar Pizarro, of the Australian Center for Field Robotics at the University of Sydney, choses to see this as an opportunity.
In January, a group of engineers, roboticists and oceanographers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Rhode Island, and University of Michigan will come together, working to develop a new cost-effective and efficient underwater robotics program. The ultimate goal of the research is the development of autonomous ocean mapping systems capable of scaling up in a cost-effective manner. Expanding from the 2015 Coordinated Robotics that took place in the Timor Sea region, the time the team will come together again off Maui, Hawaii, exploring the the 'Au'Au Channel and its coral reef system. The 21-day expedition will be dedicated to the goal of characterizing the distribution distribution of reefs by deploying a fleet of autonomous vehicles using automated planning and scheduling tools.
The team will test various technologies and gather observations related to several challenges in robotics and machine learning. By developing a group of cooperative, unmanned underwater vehicles, researchers aim to increase the quality and efficiency of data collection and analysis, ocean mapping, and predictive habitat modeling. The different vehicles have varying specialties, including optical imaging, acoustic mapping and water column sampling. Robot-gathered data combined with an interdisciplinary approach stands to advance goals such as detailed mapping of the ocean floor, as well as improve our understanding of the relationships between bathymetry and quantitative habitat information.
Unmanned models like Sirius and NextGen autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV's) will be employed as mapping vehicles to build improved habitat models over large areas. Smaller, drifting imaging platforms will complement these larger models by targeting smaller areas with simpler and more frequent deployments. The AUVs will be able to coordinate their own routes, share data, and communicate with each other using acoustic modem technology. The amount of data collected from the AUVs will be extensive, and must be organized and analyzed in such a way that provides scientific insight. As a human team could not possibly accomplish this in a quick and cost effective manner, the data processing will mostly be automated, some of it running on the AUVs.
This research will create a framework for multiple vehicles operating at the same time and in the same space. Mastering this complex assemblage will markedly improve the ability to effectively gather data for high-level characterization of marine environments and guiding autonomous survey planning. The focus on high level automation of multi-robotic cooperative planning and marine ecosystem characterization will allow for the development of new methodologies and advance high levels of autonomy in multiple vessel procedures.
While the waters of the 'Au'Au Channel may be relatively healthy, they are not immune to warmer temperatures and coral bleaching. This integrated reef ecosystem includes some of the most extensive and diverse mesophotic coral ecosystems in the world. Creating detailed maps and habitat models of the ocean floor and coral system will achieve a better understanding of coral bleaching impacts on a small-scale, while simultaneously testing the robotic programs functionality and contributing towards the long-term goal of engineering a global ocean mapping infrastructure.
The team chose this particular system as a research location for an additional reason: connected to its ecological importance as a reef system, the channel represents an ideal environment for testing multiple vehicles due to its wide-ranging environment that has been subject to extensive research using older, remote sensing technology. This will allow the scientists to both build upon information collected from prior research efforts and refine their own models comparatively.
The development of an autonomous global ocean mapping system has enormous potential. Pizarro and his team are confident that such a system would provide a greater body of knowledge to scientists as well as the general public. Due to the work of their integrated vehicles, improved detail and quality of data will allow scientists to build better habitat models and make more accurate predictions about the condition of underwater environments. This has positive implications for the study of climate change, improving our ability to monitor ocean environments under warming conditions. Additionally, this project has great promise as a tool for education, providing increased access to the beautiful imagery of the ocean floor and coral reefs, as well as its constantly changing conditions.
The cruise will focus on sites at along East Lanai, South Moloka'i, West Maui and North Kaho'olawe (alternative site).

On Saturday, September 30, 2017, the Placerville CHP (California Highway Patrol) hosted the Cops & Rodders Show and Shine Fly-In at the Cameron Airpark with community event proceeds benefitting the Placerville CHP Community Fund.
For the car or airplane enthusiasts, a large showing of new and vintage cars and airplanes were on display. Guests were welcomed with live music, food trucks, and other vendors providing breakfast, lunch, and beverages for purchase. Also on display were numerous law enforcement agency vehicles and aircrafts. A popular spot for attendees was the United States Army helicopter on display, where guests of all ages were permitted to jump inside to snap a picture.
A highlight of the event was the Kid's Zone where activities were provided by the El Dorado County Office of Education, El Dorado County Library, Choices for Children, Coloma State Park, Environmental Alternatives, Sierra Wildlife, Thompson's Auto, and Toys for Tots. The Kid's Zone provided fun activities for kids of all ages including corn hole, Birds of Prey (on display), face painting, and much more. Dr. Ed Manansala, El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools, even stopped by the Kid's Zone and demonstrated his juggling skills!

The base of the clover was hand cut and a gorgeous textured pattern was hand carved on top.
Then the top of the clover was hand cut, leaving an open face design in the middle. The 2 parts were hand soldered together with 4 thick hand crafted gold balls in between, giving the piece a gorgeous 3 dimensional appearance. Four heads were hand soldered in the middle of the openings and the 4 natural rose cut Colombian Emeralds, with a most desirable deep emerald green color, were hand set.
Finally, the pendant was hand polished to a very bright mirror finish, so the entire pendant catches the light and sparkles endlessly. There are visible signs of hand work, where the clover was hand cut and the ring on top was hand soldered. This beautiful, antique clover could easily become a treasured family heirloom. The chain in the pictures does not come with the pendant it was just used to show how lovely it will look. Stamped: 14k Weight: 3.9 grams Measures: 1.37" x 1.0" Depth: 3mm Approx. This piece will come in a nice jewelry gift box. ALL OF THE JEWELRY PICTURES ARE IN MACRO MODE.

Confession: I've been very judgmental towards a certain people group. And for this I need to repent.
I'll admit I have eye-rolled this group of people many-a-time in my life, but I am here to confess and repent.
One of my co-workers is letting me borrow The Chronicles of Narnia, and y'all, I am not above telling you it is real good. I've been converted. It's real. If you are not a C.S. Lewian (I love you, friend), here's what you need to know: Aslan is a mighty, powerful, beautiful Lion. His character gives us a really neat picture of the Lord. You'll understand why I've confessed all this to you in a minute.
What do you want to say to our world today? Our hurting, confused, broken, aching world? This world that feels like we are all against each other…where evil is real and seems to be winning a lot of the time. What does it look like to be victorious in this life? Is that even a reality?
How true is this about our Lord – that He grieves even deeper than we do about the heartaches and brokenness we experience in this world?
That is my prayer and what I hold on to in a world that seems to be dying – that deep within us there is a hope for better things. There is a desire to be good to one another.
In the wake of yet another senseless tragedy, we question Your goodness and fear the deep evil that seems to be growing in power here on earth.
And why Lord, are some of Your people often the most hateful ones? You don't praise the Muslim terrorist that murdered 49 people within the homosexual community, do you?! Why would we ever be happy about the unjust loss of human life?
Let us be good to one another.
In the midst of this I am so convicted of my own comfortable life. While I was trying to figure out what day I could get a haircut, I saw an article about a French policeman and his wife who were brutally murdered in front of their toddler. What is this life?! Am I doing it wrong? The things that seem important to me, the things I care about like JOY, gratitude, Gardens…for Heaven's sake. They just feel so trivial and fluffy against the backdrop of a world that seems to be burning. Daily tragedies make my life feel like a bubble.
I'm over here worrying about finding a husband when millions of people are worried about losing their lives.
I'm also convicted of how little I ask for Your help. I clearly don't grasp Your power or understand the weight of prayer. If I did, I'd be on my knees every possible second asking for revival and redemption instead of binge watching Netflix and researching GROUPONS. Heavens. It all seems ridiculous.
I'm grateful to serve a God who cares about all my desires, questions, fears, hopes, celebrations, and more. That my somewhat silly concerns about finding a husband or a haircut matter to you, no matter how small or trivial that might seem in the shadow of an enormous tragedy.
But here I am today, asking – begging – you to WORK in our world. To show us your great shining tears and say, "My Son, my Daughter, I know. Grief is great." To mourn with us and then revive us. To transform Your followers into love-offerers, truth-tellers, grace-givers. To become people of holiness, who look enough like You that others would want to know You. Help us be good to one another. Teach us to swing wide the doors of our churches and our homes and our hearts to welcome in the hurting, the outcast, the widow, the homosexual, the orphan, the person we disagree with – whoever it might be. Whoever the stranger is in our lives, may we invite them to our table.
I know You mourn with us. I know that You feel the weight and the sadness even deeper than we do. I'm grateful to know a God who mourns with the brokenhearted. I'm asking you to intervene in Your world, Lord. Thank You for being the greatest good amidst a world full of hurt. Make all things new.

It is hard for me to imagine a vice which tempts me less than smoking cigarettes. I get headaches when I'm around cigarette smoke; the smell of cigarette smoke repulses me. Frankly, I'd be thrilled if cigarettes went away tomorrow, and our nation's health would improve drastically overnight.
But it is a mark of maturity to be able to consistently stand for principle. I would fight for the right to free speech, even though I know full well that many people will use that right to denigrate things I hold dear. I stand for freedom of religion even though many religious teachings in this country are heretical to my understanding. And even though I personally detest cigarettes, there is no question but what I must side with Philip Morris in the latest court battle that the cigarette maker is facing.
Perhaps you've heard by now of the June 6 decision of a California jury awarding three billion dollars to one Richard Boeken, 56, a life-long smoker battling terminal lung and brain cancer. For forty years Mr. Boeken smoked at least two packs of Marlboros a day. With the help of my trusty calculator I discovered that, estimating conservatively, Mr. Boeken smoked 584,000 cigarettes in his lifetime. Single-handedly, this gentleman put some North Carolina farmer's daughter through four years in Chapel Hill!
For all of his efforts, however, he has been rewarded with an incurable disease. The question for the jury was "who's to blame?" Mr. Boeken's attorney, one Michael Piuze, argued that the tobacco manufacturer was at fault, because for decades the industry had engaged in a campaign to promote smoking as "cool" but which concealed its severe dangers. He told the jury that Mr. Boeken was thus a "victim".
So let me get this straight. Philip Morris markets a legal product. It advertises its product in such a way as to encourage people to buy it (ostensibly, Mr. Piuze would have had the Marlboro man appear not on horseback but on a gurney with an IV, hacking his lungs out, so as not to appear "cool"). As mandated by the federal government, Philip Morris places a warning from the Surgeon General on the side of all of the 29,000+ packs bought by Mr. Boeken since at least the early 70's. Mr. Boeken, despite these written warnings on each pack and earlier indications of the dilatory effect of smoking on one's health, makes the volitional choice to stand in line at the 7-Eleven, pay through the nose for a pack of smokes, and then smoke like a chimney. Then, when this poor soul, having ignored countless health warnings, contracts cancer, he is a victim? And because he is a "victim", he deserves an award roughly the size of the GNP of some third-world nations?
The problems with this decision are legion, but not the least of which is, ironically, the de-valuation of the dignity of human life. Follow me on this one and note, interestingly, how the recent execution of Timothy McVeigh actually upholds the dignity of life. For years, modern humanistic psychology has argued that man is not responsible for his actions. He is either sick, in need of the latest therapy, or he is a victim in some way; either way, he is absolved of personal culpability. This understanding devalues man, however, stripping him of his dignity as a free moral agent able to make his own decisions good or bad. To be made to suffer the consequences of one's actions, C. S. Lewis argued, is to be treated as a human being made in the image of God. In fact, the only reasonable source of human dignity is such, to understand one's existence as a morally-responsible being answering to a Creator; to attempt to ground one's dignity upon a humanistic base ends inevitably in futility.
The jury would have been doing Mr. Boeken—and us—a favor in acknowledging his dignity as a man who made his own choices, and who is unfortunately reaping severe consequences. In executing Timothy McVeigh, our justice system held him responsible—an ultimately dignity-affirming act, its severity notwithstanding.
One other point bears mentioning: to label the Richard Boekens of the world as "victims" demeans the very term. It is certainly true that there are people who can legitimately be labeled such: the little girl abused by a hateful father; the young mother dying of breast cancer; the 168 people who died at the hands of the monster McVeigh, along with their families. Such people bear no personal culpability for their situations, and while our encouragement even to them is that the label "victim" ought not to become one which forevermore becomes a defining issue in their lives, we can nonetheless use the term legitimately in their cases. But when everyone is a "victim", then no one is a victim, and we become a childish society of individuals brandishing our grievances and clamoring for vindication against oppressors real and imagined.
As for me, if you don't mind, I'd prefer to live in a society in which adults are treated like adults—even if that means those adults choosing to light up forty times a day. If you don't mind, though, would you kindly not do it around me?


AITOR KARANKA has given a ringing endorsement to Gareth Southgate - and believes he can transform England.
believe Englan Th man the he ge ns The Middlesbrough manager claims Southgate is perfect choice because can bring through a new generation of talent to the national team and be as successful as Spain.
But the former Spain and Real Madrid defender warned it is vital the FA stick with Southgate for the long term and build a philosophy for future success.
Football chiefs are set to make interim Three Lions boss a permanent appointment following tomorrow night's friendly with Spain after his four-game audition.
That match will be a tough acid test for England but Karanka thinks Southgate - who had a three-year spell in charge at the Riverside - is the right choice to try to emulate the success his country has enjoyed for a decade.
Karanka, who will be at Wembley, said: "I know from my perspective with the Spanish national team that he has the strength you need.
"He has experience, been a captain, managed in the Premier League and he knows how to work in the national set-up.
"I hope he will be successful, I will be happy if he can do it. I am really pleased to see Gareth in charge. He was our captain at Middlesbrough, our manager. I have a really good relationship with him from when he was England Under-21 manager.
"He is the right one because I felt he is doing now what we did in Spain. He was often asking me about Chalobah, Bamford and Gibson.
"It's the right step. But it's not about Gareth. If he loses two games in a row, it is not his fault, so it's build something strong. England can do it."
Southgate, 46, also has striking similarities to Spain's current boss Julen Lopetegui - another reason why Karanka believes him to be the perfect choice.
Lopetegui is 50, has succeeded bigger names such as Vicente Del Bosque (below) and - like Southgate - has also come through his country's system, having managed the national team at under-19, 20 and 21 level.
Karanka considers that link and bringing players through the age groups so they all mature together vital for long-term success.
He worked as Jose Mourinho's assistant at Real Madrid before moving to Boro and said: "It's the key in the national team, the key in my club, the key in every single club. The key is to work together.

The summer of 2009, when gambling was banned in neighboring Ukraine and Russia, turned out to be not quite hot for gambling institutions in Belarus. The changeable and unpredictable weather seemed to completely reflect the mood of the gambling business in the country. July 1, 2009 was not only the first day of the next month, but also the culmination of the life of gambling establishments in the state.
Mass revival in this industry, which was predicted after events in neighboring states, did not happen. In many respects, the reason was the braking by officially Minsk, which in the summer suspended the acceptance of applications for registration of new gambling houses in the country.
But after some time, the authorities realized that the gambling business was not only capable, but should serve the good of the state. For several months, a decree was drafted, which lays down clear instructions on how to properly use gambling establishments to replenish the treasury. Despite the fact that the decree was fully completed, it was never signed, so this issue has not yet moved off dead center.
As you know, any business is important to start, the start was laid – and everything went by itself. One after another, other decrees related to gambling began to be published – and serious changes began. It has become quite obvious that the state is seeking to take control of the gaming industry. Toughened licensing measures for such a business. New gambling establishments have become increasingly difficult to get on their feet, develop, and the old – to keep themselves afloat.
The end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011 were the time to test the strength of this field of activity. Small institutions completely ceased to exist, and large ones tried to survive in any way. Gaming clubs have substituted each other in order to achieve the closure of competitors. Most often this was done due to the fact that dummy teenagers were sent to the necessary salons, followed by authorized supervisory authorities, which ultimately led to the closure of establishments.
A year later, there were another major changes made to the Regulations on the implementation of activities in the gaming industry in the territory of the Republic of Belarus. So, the list of objects where such institutions cannot be located was established. Particularly acute is the issue with the clause relating to residential buildings, government offices, telecommunications and postal facilities, non-bank credit and financial organizations, banks, recreational and sanatorium-resort institutions, as well as cultural ones. Although most of the casinos in Baranovichi are located exactly on the first floors of residential premises.
Large gaming networks have already left their usual places. Driving through the city, you can see the empty rooms, which yesterday were filled with avid players. A part of the working staff was sent on vacation at their own expense, with some they simply did not renew their contracts. Finding new locations is not an easy task. For some, the move is completely impossible. There are only two ways out: to stop such activity or create an alliance with other owners of gambling establishments in order to stay afloat. But if the issue of a new location can be solved by the leaders of the gambling business, then the second innovation of the season is much more complicated and interesting.
From the date set, all cash registers of bookmakers, slot machines, sweepstakes must be connected to a single computer-specific cash register system. This is a software and hardware complex that contains an application software package. It is designed to fully control the activities in the field of gambling through the automatic transfer, registration, processing, accumulation, preservation and recording of data on the processes, as well as to carry out cash transactions for receiving and issuing cash from individuals and him. If there is no connection to this system, then the license is terminated.
Many do not understand what the difficulties may be. A qualified technician comes and connects the corresponding cash register to the system. But until the last moment it was not entirely clear on whom this mission would be laid.
The creation of a special body, OOO Gambling Monitoring Center, has been dramatically delayed; one of its responsibilities was the implementation of a single cash system.
The history of the American corporation has abandoned the implementation of this project for a long time. She refused to become a partner and to finance the project after the European Union imposed sanctions against BT Telecommunications, which is also a partner of this project.
A few months ago, information was posted on the website of the Ministry of Dues and Taxes of Belarus concerning the fact that the Monitoring Center for the Gambling Business entered the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs and Legal Entities. However, about who actually joined the monitoring center, is not covered.


John Collinge is Professor of Neurology and Head of the Department of Neurodegenerative Disease at the UCL Institute of Neurology, and Director of the MRC Prion Unit. He also directs the NHS National Prion Clinic at the adjacent National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. Professor Collinge trained in medicine at the University of Bristol and in neurology at St Mary's Hospital and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London. He is committed to highly multidisciplinary research and the seamless integration of basic laboratory and clinical research. He established the MRC Prion Unit at Imperial College in 1998 where he held the positions of Wellcome Senior Clinical Fellow and then Wellcome Principal Clinical Fellow. His laboratory demonstrated in 1996 that the new human prion disease, variant CJD, was caused by the same prion strain as that causing BSE in cattle and has been responsible for a number of key advances in the field. Professor Collinge has served on numerous Government advisory committees on prion disease at a national, European Union and international level. He is committed to public communication of the Unit's research and gives many media interviews. He is a Founder Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, a Fellow of the Royal Society and was awarded a CBE for services to medical research.
The Department of Neurodegenerative Disease's research portfolio encompasses prion diseases (predominantly within the embedded MRC Prion Unit), Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, Huntington's disease, motor neurone disease and frontotemporal dementia and studies of the pathways of cellular senescence. The research philosophy is to combine basic and clinical translational research; many of the key contributions towards understanding the basic biology of these diseases have come from clinical and neuropathological observations, and efficient translation of basic laboratory research to the clinic is essential to provide benefits for patients at the earliest opportunity.
The MRC Prion Unit was established in 1998 and is located at the UCL Institute of Neurology where it is closely integrated with the University Department of Neurodegenerative Disease. The Unit was formed to provide a national centre of excellence with all necessary facilities to pursue a major long-term research strategy in prion and related diseases.
Prions, unlike other infectious agents or germs, appear to lack their own genes and consist of aggregated misshapen forms of one of the body's own proteins, the prion protein or PrP. Despite lacking genes, prions can exist as distinct strains with quite different properties. These unique features have wide implications in biology and evolution, and prions and prion diseases are of intense international research interest. However, in addition to the importance of this basic science, the Unit's mission is also to tackle key public health issues posed by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD).
It is becoming increasingly clear that other much commoner degenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, also involve accumulation of rogue or abnormal forms of one or more of the body's proteins resulting in damage to brain cells. Prion diseases, in addition to their intrinsic interest and importance, can be considered a paradigm for these other "protein misfolding" diseases.
Our research programmes are highly multidisciplinary and focus both on areas of public health concern and a long-term approach to the understanding of prion disease. They include studies of molecular structure, genetics, biochemistry, immunology, cell and animal models, and clinical research - including treatment trials. Two major programmes to develop novel therapies are underway.

NHS Confederation: Test and trace improvements welcome, further to go still
NHS Confederation have responded to the latest statistics from NHS Test and Trace, showing an improvement in the number of people reached, welcoming the increase but warning there was still further progress to be made.
Dr Layla McCay, a Director at the NHS Confederation, said: "It is heartening to see there has been a slight improvement in the percentage of people reached who had their case transferred to the contact tracing system – but there is still more work to do, as the scheme is still not reaching the 80 per cent target for tracing close contacts recommended by SAGE.
"Indeed, only 71.1 per cent of people identified as close contacts were reached and asked to self-isolate. This is at the heart of this system and of minimising the spread of the virus: if more close contacts cannot be reached, it will be far more difficult to maintain safety and protect the NHS.
"We're also hearing that testing data availability continues to be an issue for local authorities. If increasing the number of close contacts traced is a genuine goal, we would hope to see more transparency, making best use of the expertise of local Directors of Public Health, to help trace and reduce outbreaks and ensure that planning for local lockdowns can be effective and, importantly, fast.
"This is at the same time that the Government has said some test kits may not meet the required safety standards and that all settings using them have been asked to pause until further notice, which could further impede the programme.
"Testing capacity and accessibility are critical to its success and we hope this issue is resolved quickly."
