A more extensive review of rheumatic diseases and treatment, focus on new advances or aspects of interest. Especially devoted to patients
July 12, 2016 • By Thomas Collins
CHICAGO—A lupus expert recently issued a call for action to improve outcomes of lupus clinical trials, a field that has had so many failed potential therapies that he said it seems to be "cursed."
Richard Furie, MD, chief of rheumatology at Northwell Health in New York, said at the ACR's 2016 State-of-the-Art Clinical Symposium that the field has had "just three wins, and I can't tell you how many losses."
The three achievements he counted are the BLISS-52 and BLISS-76 (Belimumab in Subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) trials, which led to the approval of belimumab, and the maintenance phase of ALMS (Aspreva Lupus Management Study), which found that mycophenolate mofetil was superior to azathioprine for lupus nephritis (LN) maintenance therapy.1,2

Why Rheumatologist–Pulmonologist Collaboration Is Essential
June 15, 2015 • By Vanessa Caceres
Although close collaboration with a variety of specialists outside of rheumatology is important, you could make the case for rheumatologists and pulmonologists having to work together even more closely. If lung symptoms are severe and not under control,
However, the question sometimes is when to refer—even when there are not any evident lung symptoms and the patient's rheumatic disease is well controlled with therapy.
Rheumatologists and pulmonologists have a great deal of clinical crossover for conditions like interstitial lung disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension in scleroderma and vasculitides (see sidebar, below). keep reading

HIV Infection: What Rheumatologists Need to Know
June 15, 2015 • By Leonard H. Calabrese, DO, & Elizabeth Kirchner, MSN, CNP
It has been nearly 35 years since the original descriptions of what now is recognized as AIDS (the acquired immune deficiency syndrome), an advanced form of infection secondary to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The epidemic of HIV infection remains the singular most dramatic epidemic of our generation and will likely remain with us for generations to come.
The disease itself (i.e., HIV infection) has been transformed from a highly fatal illness with a progressive course and no known therapy to a complex but manageable disease for those with access to antiviral therapy. Socially, the epidemic of HIV infection has changed from one of high visibility attended by fear and stigmatization to one that now has lost much of its exclusivity, affecting all segments of the population to some degree, albeit disproportionately.

Efficacy of an Adjuvanted Herpes Zoster Subunit Vaccine in Older Adults
Himal Lal, M.D et al.
N Engl J Med 2015; 372:2087-2096 May 28, 2015DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1501184
In previous phase 1–2 clinical trials involving older adults, a subunit vaccine containing varicella–zoster virus glycoprotein E and the AS01B adjuvant system (called HZ/su) had a clinically acceptable safety profile and elicited a robust immune response.
We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study in 18 countries to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HZ/su in older adults (≥50 years of age), stratified according to age group (50 to 59, 60 to 69, and ≥70 years). Participants received two intramuscular doses of the vaccine or placebo 2 months apart. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of the vaccine, as compared with placebo, in reducing the risk of herpes zoster in older adults.
A total of 15,411 participants who could be evaluated received either the vaccine (7698 participants) or placebo (7713 participants). During a mean follow-up of 3.2 years, herpes zoster was confirmed in 6 participants in the vaccine group and in 210 participants in the placebo group (incidence rate, 0.3 vs. 9.1 per 1000 person-years) in the modified vaccinated cohort. Overall vaccine efficacy against herpes zoster was 97.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93.7 to 99.0; P<0.001). Vaccine efficacy was between 96.6% and 97.9% for all age groups. Solicited reports of injection-site and systemic reactions within 7 days after vaccination were more frequent in the vaccine group. There were solicited or unsolicited reports of grade 3 symptoms in 17.0% of vaccine recipients and 3.2% of placebo recipients. The proportions of participants who had serious adverse events or potential immune-mediated diseases or who died were similar in the two groups.
The HZ/su vaccine significantly reduced the risk of herpes zoster in adults who were 50 years of age or older. Vaccine efficacy in adults who were 70 years of age or older was similar to that in the other two age groups. (Funded by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals; ZOE-50 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01165177.)

Biologic monotherapy in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Biologics: Targets and Therapy
Detert J, Klaus P Published Date May 2015 Volume 2015:9 Pages 35—43 DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/BTT.S53361

Abstract: Biologics, possibly in combination with a conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) – preferably methotrexate (MTX), are used in accordance with the recommendations of the international rheumatological societies. However, in clinical practice, this recommendation is often problematic, as many rheumatologists know from personal experience. The quality of life of the patient is affected mainly by drug-induced intolerances (eg, MTX). Thus, the acceptance of the patient to treatment is often so inadequate that a discontinuation of the drug is necessary. In daily practice, approximately 30% of patients with biological therapy receive no concomitant DMARD according to the register data.

Osteoarthritis: management Clinical Pharmacist, 24 APR 2015By Tina Hawkins , Andrew Barr

A wide range of drug classes are used in treating osteoarthritis (OA). Pharmacological therapies are adjuncts in the management of OA but there are no specific prescribing patterns because of the heterogenous nature of OA.

Joint replacement surgery (pictured) should be considered when a patient with osteoarthritis suffers persistent debilitating symptoms despite treatment
There are no pharmacological treatments that are known to prevent or cure osteoarthritis. Current management is directed at providing symptomatic relief. Pharmacological treatments are adjuncts that offer at best moderate symptom relief and the key to management is a combination of this with lifestyle change. Exercise regimens should include local muscle strengthening (e.g. quadriceps muscle exercises for knee OA) combined with general aerobic fitness. Ideally, patients should have an individualised exercise programme they can perform daily.
International guidelines recommend the use of topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and/or paracetamol as the first-line treatment of choice. If these are inadequate, the patient should stop their current therapy and use an oral NSAID (either a non-selective or cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitor). Patients using oral NSAIDs should also be prescribed a proton pump inhibitor.
The use of opioids is supported in current guidance from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, but no reference is made to individual drugs. Opioid analgesics may be indicated for some patients with unacceptable pain despite treatment with oral paracetamol or topical NSAIDs when oral NSAIDs or COX 2 inhibitors are contraindicated.
Osteoarthritis (OA) has a broad range of presentations and therefore its potential impact on a patient's personal life and employment can vary significantly. The management of OA must therefore be personalised and may include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. This approach has been shown to provide patients with better pain and functional outcomes[1].
The pain and disability associated with OA can have a significant impact on mood and may impair participation in both work and recreational activities. Patients should be educated about their OA and be provided with a tailored self-management plan to maintain physical function and fitness, reduce pain and prevent further deterioration.

Remembering the mighty history of the struggles against racism and discrimination, the march also joined in the many streams of struggle today for jobs, justice and equality. The modern-day Birmingham civil rights movement has been a vibrant center of struggle against Alabama's infamous anti-immigrant law.
The march ended in a rally at the historic Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. The Sixteenth Street Church was the scene of one of the most heinous acts of racist violence during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s. On Sept. 15, 1963, Ku Klux Klan members detonated a powerful bomb at the church killing four young African American girls attending Sunday school.
The march was spirited and festive with singing and chanting, including standards of the civil rights movement and modern slogans.

Medianeras (Sidewalls) by the Argentine Gustavo Taretto, is a comic and rather touching lesson on that deadly proxy for life — virtual reality.
The film opens with a metaphoric view of the urban mishmash of downtown Buenos Aires: the city that planning forgot, which "turns its back on the river" and where a single storey building can abut a multi-storey apartment block, and often does. The blank sidewalls which result from the towering disparity in height are the usually windowless medianeras of the title, a featureless plane but for directions to supermarkets or product advertisements. Life in these blocks is frequently a shoebox existence which tends to get worse the further you get from the "alpha" end of the "bet".
The main characters, Martin (Javier Drolas) and Mariana (Pilar López de Ayala), are near-neighbours who've retreated after failed relationships and are being slowly strangled by the wired and wireless reality they've substituted for them.
Martin, pinned down by his fear of flying, is left with his girlfriend's dog when she leaves for New York never to return. He's a web designer who sees his own neuroses (of which he has many) played out in the cityscape that surrounds him. On his own admittance the only psychological defect he doesn't have is a suicidal tendency. He has few outlets other than his success at a virtual sleeping tablets game, akin to space invaders for insomniacs (found on a psychologist's website), virtual tennis, virtual criminality and his perfunctory flings with Ana (Inés Efron), the dog walker, whom he insists on accompanying on walks.
Mariana is an architect who works as a window dresser. She is as isolated and as dysfunctional as Martin except her issues concern a fear of lifts and intimacy. She takes erotic comfort in her collection of male shop mannequins. "Don't get any false ideas," she says, "It was just sex."
The scene looks set for digitised virtual oblivion. There are examples of this in Mariana's treatment of her photographs. Will she go the same way as her former boyfriend? Four clicks and all record of their four years are expunged. The ephemeral nature of her world vies with the real world. Unsaid, the struggle for reality begins to assert itself in her just as life issues from the unpromising crumbling fabric of Buenos Aires in the illegal sidewall windows which puncture this space – sometimes in the most unlikely and symbolic of places.
The film's dialogue is minimal as befits the subject: the failure to thrive in any world other than the virtual one. The absence of real life – the recurring theme of the film – is shown to be as much about dreams as reality.
To give further licence to the dysfunction, Martin adds dating to his all-round internet fixation. Marcela (Cristina Petersen), a psychologist, turns up. She can speak eight languages, but to rephrase Dorothy Parker, she can't say anything interesting in any of them. She insists on speaking French. The sheer inanity of the encounter is encompassed in Martin's remark: "Your French sounds French."
One of Mariana's few outlets is swimming. Martin likes swimming too but he can't stand what comes before or after. Mariana meets Rafa (Rafael Ferro) at the baths, he is a self-confessed "compulsive swimmer" who never sleeps and, as it turns out, is short of a length in the sack department. Such are the shortcomings of displacement activities. The fragility of life, people and relationships is everywhere. Everyone is looking for something.
The film and its treatment might be considered coy but so what? It is well-acted and beautifully filmed by Leandro Martínez. It's droll in a world that increasingly likes to be slapped round the kisser with a punchline. The overall theme is simple: even deserts bloom and life is irrepressible. Where's Wally? He's out there somewhere in the city.
Why does the city turn its back on the river? Because to face it (Rio de la Plata/River of Silver), perhaps, would be a poignant reminder of where this country of immigrants originated and where all the psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists disembarked. It could also be a case of bad planning but Buenos Aires has more shrinks per square yard than Bedlam. It makes even the gloomiest of towns look positively happy-go-lucky by comparison.
Medianeras is showing as part of the 1st Argentine Film Festival of London, which will be taking place between April 19th-22nd at the Ritzy Picturehouse in Brixton. See argentinefilmfestival.com for more details.

Rachel Houseman
Rachel Houseman is a Colorist painter. She works in the style of plein air and finds the beauty of nature a never ending well-source for her inspiration. Rachel grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan near some of the largest sand dunes in the world. Her interest in landscapes of the desert started during a trip the Southwest in 2004. Since that time she has discovered her own unique expression in the artwork that she does interpreting the beauty and tenacity of desert. She seeks to create compelling and emotional images of desert dwelling plants, brilliant skies and sunsets as well as the endless space of the far reaching horizons of the Southwest. Rachel has a BA in Fine Art and is graduate of Goddard College where she also studied art and healing, psychology, world religions, art materials & process, ecopsychology, graphics, stained glass, glass blowing, painting, drawing, writing and ritual. Rachel also studied Renaissance Art for a semester overseas at Richmond College in Florence, Italy. Later she went on the manage the Blinking Light Gallery in Plainfield, VT. In 2004 Rachel moved to Prescott, AZ to start her Masters Degree in Expressive Arts Therapies and opened her art gallery. She graduated in 2007 and is now independently licensed as a counselor, art therapist, and supervisor in 2 states: AZ & NM. During her years of study she continued to make art incessantly, being inspired by color, mysticism the land itself and created over 500 paintings in her time as a student, and now has over 1000 paintings in the series as well as many other series. She opened the Eye on the Mountain Art Gallery in Prescott AZ 2004 and moved the gallery for a short time to Taos, NM before moving it to Santa Fe where it resides today. The gallery has the theme of visionary and sacred art, and of course color!
"I believe in art as a healing practice and believe that is necessary to human survival. Color is one of the most important healing forces in the universe and it speaks to our spiritual intuitive side, it releases us from the mundane, and it awakens us to our true divine nature. The colors in the stark landscape of the desert are what drive me to explore the possibilities in paint. The excitement in the discovery of new and interesting plants and landscapes are essential to the art making process. I always make time to spend hours alone or with others in nature and remember to draw upon my introspective reflections on what has been witnessed when back at the studio. When at all possible I like to paint plein air, meaning on site in the actual location. I will usually do my work in three important phases, scouting, sketching, painting and marketing to galleries. I work fast and free and the sketch is as loose and accurate as the color and painting. Later, after I have left the sun behind, there is a nostalgia for the place. There are many places in the wilderness of the desert that I love to paint, but could not stay in for long. As a result, I long for being there, when actually living there or existing there would be impossible due to the heat and remoteness of the locales. This creates a mysterious tension between knowing and longing creates a beauty on canvas that I hope is as much a joy to behold as it is to paint!"

Last week, I recorded a Christmas message for hospital radio. There are only so many ways to say thank you to colleagues working this festive season, and their families who miss them. But thank you nonetheless – working in the NHS is a privilege, but also places great demands on individuals and it is right that that is acknowledged. My thanks not just to our staff, but also local GPs, social workers, and community workers. Of course hospital radio itself is made up of volunteers. Real dedication, and a reflection of what our NHS means to so many people in our communities. Hopefully in coming weeks we will get the patient wifi service up and running across our sites, and then get the radio service online and worldwide!
In winter 2013 we delivered better acute care than in 2012. So far in 2014 we are back under pressure, though in practice we are seeing more people in A&E in less than four hours than ever before. Meanwhile, we have repeated last year's flu vaccination triumph, and are seeing more ambulances quickly offloaded safely. I am not denying the doom laden headlines, but I am fiercely proud of colleagues doing a great job under pressure. Still there is more to do, which is why this week we open another intermediate care ward and two mental health units. There is no let up as we aim to innovate. But I "get" that local people deserve a service in A&E able to meet the four hour standard. We do that in Eye Casualty and in children's A&E. We will do so at City and at Sandwell for adults. We need no more encouragement, we want to succeed!
In recent weeks my staff have spent time with the local Overview and Scrutiny Committee of the Local Authority. In January we will support the CCG in their engagement work on changing acute surgery and cardiology. The former service largely moved to Sandwell Hospital six years ago, and the plan now is to complete that work. Interventional, complex cardiology will base itself at City, until the Midland Met opens in 2018/19 in Smethwick, Sandwell. These are big changes for patients, but especially for relatives visiting those they care for: We have work to do now to make sure transport supports the care we offer, especially in the evening and at weekends. At the same time, I have visited the district committees in Ladywood and Perry Barr to talk about how we support the voluntary sector locally, as we localise NHS care, and, we hope, localise social care. I was encouraged by councillors' commitment to change, just as I was by the Sandwell Health and Wellbeing Board's determination to improve mental health services – with a firm commitment from the CCG to confirm 2015/16 funding by December 31 2014. I am due a blog here a few days later – I am confident that promise will be kept.
One of our promises of course is is to reshape services to get better outcomes. That demands partnership, which is why I am proud to be through to the later stages of bids to provide End of Life Care locally, with Marie Curie, St Marys, St Johns and others. Meanwhile, we are supporting Sandwell Leisure Trust to provide lifestyle services in the borough. These bids are time consuming, and expensive frankly, but I hope the outcome in early 2015 will be more services kept locally and provided alongside the third sector. That is why we are proud that building work has now started on Hallam Street on our project with St Basils to convert old nursing premises into accommodation for new staff. That space will focus on young employees, coming out of school locally, at the same time as we partner with schools locally which is a clear strategy for the longer term. I think our Trust is distinctive in that we have a long term plan and are sticking to it. That consistency is not popular in every way, but I am convinced it is the right course – strikingly resonant of the recently published national NHS Five Year Forward View.
Merry Christmas to those who read this blog. I hope you are interested enough to return in 2015 – even better you might want to become a member here, and join our leadership council. This broadened governance will, we hope, help to make our Trust more inclusive, as we develop our 2020 Vision for consultation from the new year.

Fire Kristin Cashore
Author: Kristin Cashore
Category: Grade 1-3, Grade 6-8
A breathtaking, marvelous Graceling Realm book from New York Times bestselling author Kristin Cashore. It is not a peaceful time in the Dells.

From the outside, it might seem like Melbourne has the lion's share of talent in the Australian club music game, thanks to a large proportion of artists who have made a name for themselves overseas. Sydney, though, has a long (but perhaps less visible) legacy of maintaining a high standard of local DJs, people committed solely to the art of spinning records. Adi Toohey is one of those artists who, gig by gig, year by year, has cultivated a reputation as one of the city's—and the country's—most reliable party starters on the underground circuit. Through a long stint of working at Sydney's search engine-unfriendly The Record Store, throwing fantastically fun and friendly parties with her friends at Rimbombo, and hosting a much-loved Saturday night show since 2014 on vital community station FBi Radio, she's dedicated countless hours to honing her craft, and the results speak for themselves. Her unpretentious style, which has a strong foundation in '90s house, has found her being tapped for podcasts by Bicep and Vancouver's Mood Hut crew, who called her their "favourite DJ from Sydney."
On RA.672, Toohey joins the dots between sunny afternoon drinks and the dance floor. From the breezy cocktail beats of the opening stretch through colourful '90s vocal cuts, hip house and some acid gems, it's a perfect primer for a night out.
Life has been busy! I've been trying to find a balance between all the elements of my life while staying sane and healthy. I've been working full-time as a high school teacher, hosting my weekly radio show on FBi Radio on Saturday nights, playing gigs around town and flying interstate every few weekends for club shows and festivals. Some highlights of the past few months would be Hopkins Creek, Strawberry Fields and most recently Pitch Music And Arts Festival.
I've also been DJing and hosting gigs as Rimbombo with the Ken Oath Records boys DJ Earl Grey and James Greville, which is always inspiring after playing solo. Shout out to C.K from Regelbau for making the last one so special.
I recorded the mix at home in Sydney's Inner West with a cup of tea, 2 x Technics 1200s, 2 x CDJ900s and my Lucia mixer from Condesa Electronics. The recording glitched on the first take so this is the refined 2.0 version!
I think it's a fair representation of the range of music that I've been playing lately—there's a few slower hip-hop/soul openers, then a heap of '90s dollar-bin house and an electro bent finish. Since (reluctantly) quitting my job at The Record Store in Darlinghurst I've had the opportunity to go record shopping most weekends, both there and at some other joints like Papa Disquo in Enmore and Network Connection in Newtown, so this mix has been brewing out of those finds for a while now.
What draws you to the late '80s and early '90s era?
A few trips to the record stores of NYC in my early 20s really gave me the bug for house from the '80s and '90s. I'm attracted by the sheer volume of material that was released at that time; you can always stumble across something you've never seen or heard before. Besides that, there's a sense of fun in the samples that matches how I want people to be feeling on a dance floor.
How do you find being a DJ in Sydney, given the city's oppressive nightlife conditions in recent years?
There's no point trying to understate the utter corruption and short-sightedness of the lockouts and new festival laws operating in Sydney. They've blocked so many opportunities for people in all different aspects of the nightlife industry.
That said, Sydney has always had a healthy warehouse and alternative venue scene, and promoters will always find ways to get people together in front of a soundsystem, whether it's under a bridge, in an alley or on top of a carpark. Playing or attending those one-off gigs is a really special, community-minded feeling and it restores everyone's faith in the city for a little while. I'm also lucky enough to have a regular serve of gigs at legal city venues like Freda's and Harpoon Harry.
I'm excited to be heading over to Europe in July to play a few shows, go digging and work on my German. Still a few dates open from late June to mid-July if anyone wants to get in touch! On my return to Sydney, I'll be celebrating five years of hosting my show on our little community radio haven, FBi Radio, with a few local faves at Freda's in Chippendale.
They'll join Motor City Drum Ensemble at the Wollongong warehouse party's first outing on December 31st.
Darshan Jesrani and Damiano Von Erckert are also on board for the six-show series in August.
Roland Tings, Adi Toohey and World Champion will play the charity event in Sydney next month.


Endurance in cross-training can be described as various innovative and conditioning exercises that are performed in order to gain strength. Losing weight is another beneficial factor that comes from pushing yourself harder each time. When an individual has endurance in their cross-training activities, they are pushing themselves harder each time they train which helps to improve their performance and reach goals that they are set on attaining. The types of exercises that they work with will vary, based on their own personal preferences and what they are able to work harder at.
Cross-training is a popular method of exercise that combines two or more types of exercise into a weekly workout. Throughout the workout, individuals will switch the type of exercise that they work with each day to work on different muscles. Popular exercises in cross-training are those that will increase the heart rate and make the body work harder. Usually, an endurance cross-trainer will set goals that they can work towards. This allows their body to work more each time, thus building their endurance. Examples of cross-training activities include swimming, jogging, bicycling, calisthenics and so on. Other types of exercise can be incorporated throughout the cross-training method, which leaves the possibilities to be endless.
Spend more time doing the activities – this allows cross-trainers to get a feel of what the exercise feels like for longer durations of time.
Change the intensity level of the workout – if a cross-trainer has been working on beginner levels of intensity, taking them to a medium level will increase endurance and push them harder to meet goals.
Try different exercises now and then – when cross-trainers try new exercises different from the ones they are used to, they are using different muscles and working in ways that they haven't.
Try interval training – interval training is categorized as mixing many exercises into one workout. This meaning you do 20 sit-ups, jog for one mile, ride a bike for 30 minutes then repeat this sequence.
By engaging in cross-training activities, this keeps individuals from getting bored with one exercise and giving up on their workouts. It pushes them to strive for greater achievements as they introduce new workouts, exercises and methods into their weekly routine. This is a great way to increase their endurance for the workouts that they do. Thus, when they are working harder to achieve greater success they are improving their health and losing weight along the way.
When training this way, people are able to achieve greater things when they push themselves to do better. It's what striving for endurance does, it gives people the motivation to go beyond what they are used to, beyond their expectations and beyond what they think they can do.

The "Transfer Entry" command is not available when the vehicle is moving.
For phones that support automatic download of the phonebook (PBAP Bluetooth profile), the "Phonebook" command is used to manage entries in the vehicle phonebook. You can say the name of an entry at this menu to initiate dialing of that entry.
The phonebook stores up to 1000 names for each phone connected to the system.
When a phone is connected to the system, the phonebook is automatically downloaded to the vehicle. This feature allows you to access your phonebook from the Bluetooth system and call contacts by name. You can record a custom voice tag for contact names that the system has difficulty recognizing. For more information see "Record name" in this section.
Each phone has its own separate phonebook. You cannot access Phone A's phonebook if you are currently connected with Phone B.
"List Names" A
Use the List Names command to hear all the names and locations in the phone book.
The system recites the phone book entries but does not include the actual phone numbers. When the playback of the list is complete, the system goes back to the main menu.
You can stop the playback of the list at any time by pressing the button on the steering wheel. The system ends the VR session. See the "Record name"command in this section for information about recording custom voice tags for list entries that the system has difficulty pronouncing.
"Transfer Entry" B
Use the Transfer Entry command to store a new name in the system.
When prompted by the system, say the name you would like to give the new entry. For example, say: "Mary."
If the name is too long or too short, the system tells you, then prompts you for a name again. Also, if the name sounds too much like a name already stored, the system tells you, then prompts you for a name again.
The system will ask you to transfer a phone number stored in the cellular phone's memory. Enter a phone number by voice command: For example, say: "five five five one two one two." See "How to say numbers" in this section for more information.
To transfer a phone number stored in the cellular phone's memory:
Say "Transfer entry." The system acknowledges the command and asks you to initiate the transfer from the phone handset. The new contact phone number will be transferred from the cellular phone via the Bluetooth communication link.
The transfer procedure varies according to each cellular phone. See the cellular phone Owner's Manual for details. You can also visit www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth for instructions on transferring phone numbers from NISSAN recommended cellular phones.
The system repeats the number and prompts you for the next command. When you have finished entering numbers or transferring an entry, choose "Store."
The system confirms the name, location and number.

WATTLE Program back for second year
The university-led WATTLE Women Attaining Leadership program - designed to empower women to share, learn, lead and achieve – is back for a second year following a successful inaugural program in 2018.
The program's aim is to address the severe underrepresentation of women in senior levels of leadership in the university sector, both within academic and professional roles.
Based on NZWiL (New Zealand Women in Leadership) - a highly successful program for women employed at universities who are aspiring to leadership roles - WATTLE brings together women identified as potential leaders across the university sector to provide an intensive leadership and networking program. The program is designed, and run, by female professional and academic staff in the sector. An alumnae group is formed which then meets regularly.
The five-day program for professional women starts today, Monday 3 June and runs until 7 June at Waurn Ponds Estate, Victoria.
Women from eight participating universities - La Trobe, Swinburne, Griffith, RMIT, Deakin, Curtin, ANU and Murdoch - will hear from senior university executives such as La Trobe Vice-Chancellor and Male Champion of Change, Professor John Dewar; Ms Naomi Dempsey, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Students) Victoria University; Mr Kean Selway, Chief Operating Officer at Deakin University, and Professor Sarah Russell, Group Leader, Cell Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Science, Health, Engineering and Technology at Swinburne.
Participants will also hear from industry and government executives, including: Amanda Flouch, Partner, Consulting at Deloitte; Tracey Slatter, Managing Director, Barwon Water; Tasneem Chopra, cross-cultural consultant and anti-racism Champion for the Australian Human Rights Commission, and Jessie Mitchell, Manager, South and Southeast Asia, International Engagement, Department of Premier and Cabinet, Victorian Government.
Topics will range from leadership development, personal branding, sponsorship and managing change, to inclusive leadership, mindfulness in the workplace and navigating organisational politics.
WATTLE is funded and owned by the participating universities.
The four founders, Professor Rosemary Stockdale (Griffith, and NZWiL alumna), Professor Virginia Kilborn, Professor Helana Scheepers (both Swinburne) and Professor Birgit Loch (La Trobe) have collaborated closely with NZWiL to bring the program to Australia.
The program for academic women will run again in November this year.

CSJ's FBS G5 Week 9 Game of the Week and Fearless Predictions
College Sports Journal FBS Football NCAA Division I Sports
Three Top 25 CSJ Sagarin Top 25 match-ups take place this week with Houston at USF highlighting the week. The other two match-ups include Air Force visiting Colorado State and Tulane visiting Memphis.
I will take a look at this one top game and make my pick and also pick the other Top 25 team's games this week.
#10 Houston (4-3, 2-2 American) at #2 USF (7-0, 4-0 American)
USF's Raymond James Stadium
Date Saturday, Oct. 28
Time 3:45 p.m. EDT
Location Tampa, Fla.
Venue Raymond James Stadium
Capacity 65,857
Surface Natural Grass
TV ESPNU
Houston is looking to avoid its first three-game losing streak since 2013 after dropping a 42-38 decision to Memphis while USF, owners of the nation's longest active winning streak at 12 wins, enters looking to keep pace with co-American East division leader UCF.
USF set a new NCAA record with its 24th consecutive 30-plus point game at Tulane last Saturday.
It is a match-up of first year head coaches with Major Applewhite for Houston and Charlie Strong for USF. But both are not really acting like first year headmen at their respective schools in the way each has performed.
The Bulls and Cougars haven't met too often as this game will be just the fifth game for the two teams, with the series tied 2-2. USF won non-conference games in 2001 and 2002, and Houston won American contests in 2013 and 2014.
The 2013 game in Houston, which was won by the Cougars, 35-23, marked Mike White's first USF quarterback start. Marvin Kloss connected on his 13th straight field goal attempt in that game, a team record that was tied by Emilio Nadelman this season.
Quarterback Quinton Flowers is now 27-7 as a Bulls starter. Only Marquel Blackwell (30) and Matt Grothe (28) have more wins as a starting USF quarterback. Flowers has the best winning percentage (.794).
D'Ernest Johnson caught the 68th pass of his USF career last week, tying him with Rafael Williams for most ever by a Bulls running back.
The Bulls got their 16th interception of the season last week against Tulane, and they continue to lead the nation in that category.
Houston has won 25 conference games since the beginning of The American, more than any other team in the league.
Houston nearly knocked off Memphis last week in its third 30-plus point outing of the season. The Cougars are 2-1 on the road this year so focusing on the Bulls should not be an issue from that respect.
The Cougars feature one of the top defensive linemen in college football in sophomore Ed Oliver. He had 23 tackles for loss as a freshman in 2016.
Saturday's game will be the fifth this season the Houston defense has faced one of the nation's top-15 scoring offenses as USF enters the game No. 9 with an average of 41.6 points per game and has an NCAA record 24 straight games with at least 30 points.
In its first four games vs. top-15 scoring offenses, Houston has held two (SMU and Arizona) to 20+ points below their scoring average and Texas Tech to 16 points below its average.
The Cougar defense is also taking the ball away in the air, ranking No. 9 nationally with 10 interceptions while safety Garrett Davis is tied for The American lead and fifth nationally with four interceptions.
Houston's offense is headed by its wide outs. Linell Bonner is 11th nationally with an average of 7.5 receptions per game while Steven Dunbar is 17th with an average of 6.9.
Coach's Pregame Press Conferences
USF's Charlie Strong
Houston's Major Applewhite
While USF is one of just eight FBS teams overall that are currently undefeated, the Bulls started the season a little slow but still came up with victories. USF, however, are coming on strong now. On the other side, Houston has lost two games in a row and are kind of going the other direction.
With the home field and the momentums working in their direction, I like the Bulls to take this game.
USF 38 Houston 28
Remaining CSJ Top 25 Schedule and the Picks
Here is the remaining Top 25 schedule and my picks in BOLD.

Former Red Brandon Phillips gets another chance in pro baseball
Dave Jablonski, Staff Writer
Phillips hasn't played in big leagues since last September
Former Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips will get another chance in professional baseball with the Boston Red Sox organization.
"It's something about dat color RED," he wrote on Instagram.
» PHOTOS: A look back at Phillips' career
Phillips, who hasn't played this season, signed a minor-league deal with the Red Sox on Wednesday. He last played in the big leagues in 2017, appearing in 120 games for the Atlanta Braves and 24 games for the Los Angeles Angels. The Reds traded Phillips to the Braves in 2017 for Carlos Portuondo and Andrew McKirahan.
» HAL McCOY: Magic-carpet ride continues for Reds
Phillips, who turns 37, is a career. 275 hitter with 16 years of experience in the big leagues. He hit 191 home runs in 11 seasons (2006-16) with the Reds. He won four Gold Glove awards.
The Red Sox need help at second base. They lost starting second baseman Dustin Pedroia to an injury for an indefinite period. Eduardo Nunez has hit .253.

Q: `gnome-keyring-daemon` hangs if I log out & then log in again When I start my computer (an up-to-date Ubuntu 18.04), and log in and do a days work, everything's fine. I then log out, and leave the computer on while no-one logs in. The next morning I log in again, and gnome-keyring-daemon is running at 100% CPU. SSHing will hang without connecting, because it's trying to unlock the appropriate ssh private key, and gpg won't decrypt anything, again waiting for a private key to be unlocked.
If I restart the computer, everything works fine. This happens all the time for the last several months.

A: I don't have a good programmatic answer, but I've found that if I open a terminal window and 'kill -9 processnumber' that will terminate the process. It apparently restarts by itself and frees up the connection.

His hungry, blue collar work ethic sets a good example for the team. He has not been bad on the ice, although he is not on the ice that much.
Location: AV is gone Woooo! Hayes!
Location: 17 miles from MSG Love when the Rangers dont chase behind their own net.
gave up on streaming crap. need to tweak my dish tomorrow and should be good.
Kreider , Zib and hayes are making a good case to remain Rangers - but they are also increasing in value.
The Rangers are starting to play d as a unit and they are sitting if they do not play up to Quinn's standards.
Skjei is in for Smith, but Quinn said Smith did not warrant the press box based on his play. All this adds up to the decent effort and play we have been watching for the last month.
Location: 17 miles from MSG Shatt playing the body!!! and it was the right play!!!!

Manga Kaleidoscope
Sugar Princess: Skating to Win
Originally posted on Feb. 10, 2010. Edited on Mar. 27, 2010 to update out-dated information.
TITLE: Sugar Princess: Skating to Win
AUTHOR/MANGAKA: Hisaya Nakajo
PUBLISHER: Viz
RATING: All Ages
CATEGORY: Shoujo
SCORE: 8 (Very good)
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF: Hisaya Nakajo (mangaka of Hana-Kimi), The Cherry Project, Ginban Kaleidoscope, Kaleido Star, Princess Nine, sports, comedy
In addition to my overwhelming love for manga/anime, I am a figure skating addict. Never been out on the ice myself — I am klutzy enough when not walking on slippery surfaces, thank you very much — but I never miss a televised competition or exhibition if I can help it. The Nationals are my World Series, the World Championships are my Super Bowl, and the Winter Olympics are practically my reason for living. (Okay, maybe that last part is overstating things just a tad, but the hyperbole isn't too far off the mark…) I am, without a doubt, a huge fan of the sport.
So taking two of my favorite things — manga and figure skating — and putting them together? Instant love.
Sugar Princess is a cute story about an eighth grade girl named Maya Kurinoki. Her first time on the ice, her younger brother dares her to do a "twirling jump" like the skaters they saw on TV. Not one to back down from a challenge, Maya amazingly lands a jump on the first try, the difficult double axel. Her impossible feat catches the eye of Eishi Todo, a figure skating coach. Offering to make her a "princess", he convinces her to join the local skating club and introduces her to handsome but aloof Shun Kano, a former pairs skater who attends the high school affiliated with Maya's junior high. Coach Todo thinks Maya should become Shun's new pairs partner, but Shun is not interested in pairing with anybody, much less a total amateur like Maya, and says he's only wants to skate singles.
Coach Todo makes a deal with Shun: if Shun can coach Maya up to the junior level, then he doesn't have to partner with her and can continue doing singles. Though he initially refuses the offer, after seeing how determined Maya is to learn how to skate, even if she has to do it on her own, Shun agrees to coach her. When their rink is under threat of being shut down, however, Maya and Shun are forced to compete as a pair during a skating competition to win a bet between Coach Todo and the son of the rink's sick owner to save it.
Maya's a likeable lead. She can be a little dim-witted at times — at first, she thinks Coach Todo scouted her for acting, and she doesn't even know the difference between pairs and singles skating until she reads a book on skating — but she's very enthusiastic and determined to become a good skater. Shun takes a little while to warm up to. He's a bit of a snob and isn't very friendly to Maya at first, but he has a good heart under his harsh exterior. And, of course, as seems to be almost a prerequisite of most shoujo male leads, there's a tragic reason why he decided to quit pairs and become a singles skater instead, although I like the fact that he doesn't really brood on it. It's rather refreshing for a change.
One thing I preferred about this story over the unlicensed Naoko Takeuchi skating series The Cherry Project (which is my top "most wanted license" pick) is the fact that Maya isn't some kind of superhuman skating prodigy. Granted, she is a bit of a natural when it comes to skating, and she's a fast learner, but other than that double axel she lands at the beginning of the story (after which she falls, by the way, and hasn't tried since), she's not doing amazingly difficult jumps. By the end of the story, she's only doing double toe loops, the easiest of the double jumps, and she and Shun don't do any of the more difficult pairs moves like throw jumps and twists.
I also appreciated the attention given to the costs of being a figure skater. Figure skating is not a cheap sport, and as the third of four children, Maya does her best not to burden her family financially by finding ways to offset the costs — like (hilariously) making her own skating costume out of her school swimsuit (her more talented friends rescue her effort) and entering the competition not only to save the rink, but to win a pair of figure skates being offered as one of the top prizes. (She had been renting her skates from the rink.) Even having Shun coach her helps, since he's not a professional coach.
Unfortunately, romance is weak and pretty much non-existent next to Maya sometimes thinking Shun is handsome. You can tell that Maya and Shun were intended to become a couple eventually, but their relationship doesn't really go anywhere in these two volumes. This is largely due in part that the overall story the mangaka had in mind is incomplete. While Sugar Princess can be read as a complete story as is (and is marketed as such in the U.S.), it's clear that this arc was intended to be the beginning of a longer series. Nakajo put the series on hiatus back in 2007 to work on character designs for a video game, and as far as I know, she has not resumed work on it. I have my fingers crossed, though, because I would love to have more of this series.
The romance aspect might be poor, but one thing this title definitely has going for it is comedy. There's lots of chuckles to be had, mostly coming from the comic relief characters of scruffy Coach Todo and goofy Oda, Shun's best friend. Maya's and Shun's budding relationship also provides some laughs, pitting Maya's inexperience and general cluelessness against Shun's more poised and mature personality. One of the funniest moments in my opinion is when Maya walks in on Shun naked in the bath (he spilled food on his clothes during dinner with Maya's family). Switching their usual roles, he's totally mortified, but Maya doesn't even react and thinks it is no big deal since she shares a room with her younger brother.
Another plus that feeds right into my figure skating addiction is that between the chapters of the first volume, Nakajo has provided beatiful drawings of her favorite real-life figure skaters: 1998 Olympic gold medalist Ilia Kulik, 2008 and 2010 World champion Mao Asada, 2002 and 2006 Olympic pairs bronze medalists and 2010 Olympic gold medalists Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao, 2002 Olympic ice dance gold medalists Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat, 2003 World ice dancer champions Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz, and 1994 and 1998 Olympic bronze medalist Philippe Candeloro. (By the way, I also love how Nakajo is such a huge fan of skating! If we met and could speak the same language, I have a feeling we would be total BFFs.) Too bad she didn't continue the practice into the second volume. I would have loved to have more, but considering how many chapters are in the second volume — I'm guessing that there wasn't enough to release a third volume separately — I suppose there wasn't enough room. I also wish that she had drawn the manga itself more in the style of her skater portraits. The artwork is…fine, I guess, but nowhere near as pretty as the portraits.
Overall, I really liked this series. It's not quite a good as The Cherry Project, but it is licensed and easily available, which is a definite plus in its favor, and very cute. Since it's rated All Ages, it's also appropriate for young kids. I think it would make a great introduction to manga for the younger set, especially the little girls who fell in love with skating after watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. (And on a purely selfish note, I would love to see more figure skating manga — and sports manga in general — be licensed here in the U.S., so if you're the same, let your wallets do the talking and pick up this series. It's only two volumes!)

TITLE: All My Darling Daughters
AUTHOR/MANGAKA: Fumi Yoshinaga
RATING: Older Teen (16+)
CATEGORY: Josei
SCORE: 7 (Good)
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF: Fumi Yoshinaga (mangaka of Ooku: The Inner Chambers, Antique Bakery, etc.), slice of life, romance
It's great to see more josei titles — targeted toward older women — being licensed here in the U.S. There aren't many available, so when I heard All My Darling Daughters was being released, I immediately put it on my "must buy" list.
All My Darling Daughters is a collection of five interconnected short stories involving the life of 30-year-old Yukiko Kisaragi and her friends and family. The first story deals with the fallout after Yukiko's widowed mother Mari suddenly gets remarried to a much younger actor/former host after surviving a bout with cancer. Understandably, Yukiko is very dubious about this decision, worried that this guy is just taking advantage of her mother. Though Ken turns out to be a good guy who really loves Mari, Yukiko begins feeling like a third wheel and decides to move in with the average-looking co-worker she's been dating. I'm not usually one to be completely awed by a single page of artwork, but I have to say the last page of this story is quite stunning in its simplicity. There are no words, just a picture of Yukiko crying as she's packing her things and her mother coming up behind her, not embracing her, but comforting her just the same. You can really feel the strong connection between the two in the final scene.
I have…issues with the second story, about a friend of Ken's named Kiyo. This story is the reason why I gave this otherwise excellent collection of short stories a rating of 7 instead of 8. The problem? Well, Kiyo is a lecturer at a local university, and one day he is raped by one of his creepy female students, who gives him a blowjob after he repeatedly tells her no. This would be fine, and even kind of interesting, if Kiyo actually acknowledged it as rape, but he doesn't. (Other than using the excuse "She forced me!" when Yukiko expresses disapproval over what happened.) He rather enjoys the experience, and the two of them fall into a strange sort of sexual relationship in which the girl continues to give him blowjobs after hours while refusing any pleasure for herself. In fact, when Kiyo starts to develop feelings for the girl and suggests they go on an actual date, she decides to break off their little arrangement altogether, saying he's "too good" for her.
This could have been a good story. Stories focusing on student/teacher relationships are, admittedly, a kink of mine, the "rapist" is fascinating in a tragic sort of way, and there's some nice humor involved, but the fact that the girl raped him and nobody seems to acknowledge it just doesn't sit well with me. I would have probably enjoyed the story more had Kiyo just consented in the first place. I get why he didn't — the mangaka wanted the reader to see him as a nice guy — but it kind of makes him seem like the virginal heroine in a historical romance novel who is "ravished" by the hero. You can call it a different word, but it's still pretty much the same thing. (Especially in this case, since, unlike those romance heroines who might secretly want to sleep with hero but feel they can't because of society's rules, Kiyo really did not want the girl to give him a blowjob. He was not attracted to her at all at first and knew it was against school policy.) Actually, I don't think I would have thought of him too badly if he had consented right at the beginning (provided it was done in the right way), because Kiyo really is a nice guy — especially in comparison to the girl's former boyfriends — and the girl is old enough to decide what kind of sexual activity she wants to partake in (even if it's clear that she has some serious self-esteem issues and could use a lesson in the meaning of self-worth). If it had been written just a little differently, it could have been an interesting story about how a strictly sexual relationship can turn into something more for one of the partners, leading to complications in said relationship when the other doesn't want things to change, but instead, it comes off more like a case of a victim falling in love with his rapist, and I'm not interested in that.
Fortunately, the third story is excellent and by far my favorite in the book. The only two-parter in the collection, it centers on Yukiko's friend Sayako, who decides to have an arranged marriage even though she's beautiful, successful, and kind, and therefore shouldn't have any trouble finding a husband. Her aunt sets her up with several possible suitors, but none of them catch her interest until she's introduced to a man named Tatsuhiko. At first glance, he doesn't seem like much of a catch, as he was in a car accident during college that left him crippled, but he is very kind, and the two of them hit it off well. However, when it comes time to decide if she will marry him, Sayoko chooses to break it off. I don't want to spoil the reason why, but I will say it's a wonderful story with quite an unexpected, but fitting, ending.
The last two stories are also quite good, but I feel the first and the third story are really the true highlights of the collection. Are they good enough for me to recommend spending thirteen dollars on the book? Well, it depends. The artwork is lovely — realistic without the huge eyes and cookie-cutter faces you often see in shoujo titles — and the presentation of the book is really wonderful. (It's from the Viz Signature line, so it gets a few bells and whistles that you don't usually get in the cheaper lines like Shoujo Beat and Shonen Jump.) If you enjoy slice-of-life and more realistic stories that are character-driven like I do and are interested in josei, then it will probably be worth your money; if you prefer more plotty fare, then this title probably isn't for you.
Tsubasa: Those With Wings
Originally posted at LiveJournal on Jan. 19, 2010.
TITLE: Tsubasa: Those With Wings
AUTHOR/MANGAKA: Natsuki Takaya
PUBLISHER: Tokyopop
SCORE: 9 (Great)
RECOMMENDED FOR FANS OF: Natsuki Takaya (mangaka of Fruits Basket and Phantom Dream), Chobits, science fiction, fantasy, philosophy, romance, action, adventure, humor
It is no secret that I absolutely adore Fruits Basket, so I was happy to see more of mangaka Natsuki Takaya's work licensed in English. Of her two previous series that have come out here in the U.S. — the other being Phantom Dream — I definitely prefer Tsubasa: Those With Wings. While not perfect, this series shows the potential later realized more fully in Fruits Basket.
The story takes place at the end of the 22nd century in a country named Neelse (located in the area of modern day China and southeast Asia). Thanks to the many wars of the 21st century, Earth has gone to ruin. Water is polluted and fields have fallen in decay. Only those in the upper classes — the rich, the politicians, and members of the army — enjoy any kind of comfortable life. The rest struggle just to survive.
The lowest of the low is a group called the Nameless, made up of orphaned children and those abandoned by their parents. They are considered "nameless" because the government refuses to issue them identification if they don't belong to a family and have a family name. Most people treat them like trash, and opportunity to improve their standing in society is pretty much non-existent, as they are even denied a proper education. Most Nameless resort to a life of crime to survive.
One such Nameless is the sixteen-year-old thief Kotobuki. She isn't much of a burglar, never stealing anything of real value, but she is fast and agile, making it easy for her to outrun the army police. Kotobuki, however, dreams of one day making an honest living and decides to put her life of crime behind her in order to find a legitimate job. Joining her on her journey is the brilliant Raimon Shiragi. A former army captain, he has been in love with Kotobuki ever since the first time he saw her fleeing the scene of one of her burglaries. After months of chasing her, with no real intention of ever arresting her, Raimon decides to resign from his army post, give up his life of privilege and prestige, and start a life with Kotobuki, whether she likes the idea or not.
Together, they travel various different towns as Kotobuki searches for a job. Along the way, they meet several people who are looking for the legendary Tsubasa. The Tsubasa, according to popular myth, has the ability to grant people's wishes. Kotobuki initially isn't interested, but when she discovers that an army colonel implanted a bomb in Raimon's brain to prevent him from crossing the border and leaving the country, she decides to join in the search for the Tsubasa to find a way to save him. But to find the Tsubasa, they must also go up against the army, who are also looking for the Tsubasa — and Raimon — for their own nefarious purposes.
As with Fruits Basket, the greatest strength of this story is the characters. Kotobuki shares some similarities to Tohru, the heroine of FB, in that they are both kind-natured with an optimistic, can-do attitude and have the same kind of work ethic, but their personalities couldn't be more different. Kotobuki is brash and isn't afraid to speak her mind. She also has no problem getting violent should the situation arise, and there are people she doesn't like, which makes her feel more realistic than Tohru, who tends to love everybody she meets. Raimon, meanwhile, is definitely not your typical shoujo lead. Underneath his laid-back, kind of goofy and pervy demeanor (similar to Shigure from FB), he's pretty much a psychopath. The only thing that matters to him is Kotobuki and her happiness. He couldn't care less about other people, including himself, and has a habit of blowing up buildings, which becomes a bit of a running joke through the series. Yet it's hard not to like him and even feel sorry for him when his past is revealed. Other fun characters include: Shoka, the sexy leader of a small group of thieves looking for the Tsubasa in order to wish for, in her words, "boys, booze, power, and prestige"; Adelaide Wilson, a smart little rich girl Kotobuki befriends while working as a maid; Yan Mizuchi, the leader of Teki, a Blue Rose resistance group that provides assistance to them; and Major Tohya Ingram, who has a bit of a hilarious obsession with Raimon.
Another thing this series shares in common with Fruits Basket are the little "lessons" that are interwoven throughout the story, things that seem like they should be common sense, yet are easy to forget. One that particularly sticks in my mind is that the Nameless are human and were born of human parents, even if those parents are dead or have abandoned them, just like everybody else. Obvious, right? Yet the way characters treat the Nameless, a lot of them don't seem to remember that and consider them less than human. It's incredibly sad, and echoes how even some people today look down on the homeless or members of the minority.
It is a bit unbelievable, though, that people would be so prejudiced against orphans in the future, to the point that they are denied last names and identification. That's really what I consider the major flaw of this series: the fact that the whole situation seems really unlikely to ever happen in modern times just due to a devastating world war. (Maybe a meteor hitting the Earth, or something like that, but just a war?) I know, fantasy doesn't have to be realistic, but I find it hard to believe that, for example, most records of the 21st century were destroyed, to the point that most people don't even remember there ever used to be a country called "Japan". That's a lot to destroy, and I would hope that the survivors would do their best to record their memories. Then again, there is the Tsubasa… Well, I won't spoil what happened, but I suppose it makes the world of the story a little bit more believable. Just be aware that you'll likely have to suspend your disbelief a little to truly enjoy the story.
Another weakness is the romance aspect of the story. There's a lot of "love at first sight" happening, with little to zero development afterwards. This is especially apparent with Yan and his love interest, whose relationship is completely shallow. Even Raimon fell in love with Kotobuki at first sight, although Kotobuki's falling in love with him is handled much more realistically over time. Too bad it seems at times that the only reason she loves him is because he's so in love with her. Seriously, when the guy only cares about you and you alone, what else is there about him to fall in love with? (Besides looks, of course. Raimon is rather handsome, although, personally, I find Tohya the hottest guy in the cast.) Well, I suppose Raimon has a fairly decent sense of humor, and he is kind to her, but he's basically a jerk to everybody else, which makes it rather strange that a girl like Kotobuki, who cares a lot for other people, would fall in love with a guy like him.
On the technical side of things, the translation is kind of all over the place in respect to the romanization of names, especially between the first and second volumes. It's understandable, as the first volume was translated by a different person than the last two, but it is rather distracting to have Kneels/Neelse, Toya/Tohya, Adilyte/Adelaide, Phere/Fia, etc. Likewise, honorifics are used rather haphazardly. Concerning the artwork, it's close in style to how Takaya drew at the beginning of Fruits Basket, so if you prefer her older drawing style, you'll probably like it.
Despite these flaws, I found Tsubasa: Those With Wings to be an involving, entertaining and thought-provoking series. For fans of Takaya's work, especially Fruits Basket, I definitely recommend checking it out.

In 1818 he entered the Marine Corps as a cadet, a year later he was promoted to midshipmen, and in 1822 - to a midshipman. The entire service of Ivanchin-Pisarev was connected with the Baltic Sea and the Baltic Fleet. In 1824 he commanded the Finnish customs yacht, in 1826 on the ship "Prince Vladimir" cruised in the Baltic Sea.
The investigation into the case of the Decembrists established that Ivanchin was not a member of the secret societies, but he was in close contact with the Decembrist sailors. In this regard, on July 13, 1826, by the highest order, he was transferred to Arkhangelsk in order to "serve there under the watchful supervision of the authorities". During the years 1827-1831. he was in the brig "Lapominka" participated in the inventory and measurement in the White Sea, in 1828 he was made lieutenant. P.K. Pakhtusov also served in this team.

Fed's Incoming Voters Skew Hawkish. Biden Picks May Tilt Balance
Alister Bull
(Bloomberg) -- Sign up for the New Economy Daily newsletter, follow us @economics and subscribe to our podcast.
On paper, the U.S. central bank's policy-setting committee is set for a hawkish lean this year as incoming voters in the annual rotation among regional Fed presidents replace some colleagues who've typically been more dovish.
The 2022 calculus will be a little though, because the Biden administration could tilt the balance with its picks to fill three open seats.
The incoming voters are Kansas City's Esther George, Cleveland's Loretta Mester, St. Louis's James Bullard and the new president of the Boston Fed, which is in the process of recruiting for the position. In the meantime, Philadelphia's Patrick Harker will cast Boston's vote.
They replace Chicago's Charles Evans, Atlanta's Raphael Bostic, Richmond's Thomas Barkin and San Francisco's Mary Daly. Bullard, Mester and George have all made hawkish comments recently about steeply rising prices.
Still, the bigger question is who will fill three vacancies on the Fed's Board of Governors. The White House on Dec. 17 said President Joe Biden plans to name his selections by the end of the year. It has declined to provide any update on timing since then.

Whoever he selects will have to balance their views on the appropriate policy approach between getting as many people back into work as possible as the economy continues to adjust to Covid-19, with the threat posed by the hottest inflation in a generation.
What Bloomberg Economics Says...
"Biden's choices to fill three open Federal Reserve board seats -- expected to be announced soon -- will likely tilt the FOMC toward two rate hikes in 2023 from three as currently projected."
-- Anna Wong, chief U.S. economist

Jerome Powell, nominated by Biden to another four years as Fed chair, has already led his colleagues in a hawkish pivot by bringing forward the completion of their asset-purchase program to March.
That clears the path for interest-rate increases as soon as the Fed's March 15-16 policy meeting, Governor Christopher Waller said on Dec. 17, albeit with the caveat that the omicron variant could call his outlook into question.

He was only speaking for himself, but Waller's clearly not alone in getting anxious about overheated prices.
Some of the incoming voters have already sounded the alarm on inflation. Bullard and Mester both spoke in favor of speeding up the removal of policy support before the Fed acted at its December meeting. Bullard also said officials should be "nimble" when asked if their March gathering ought be live for interest-rate increases. George was warning about high inflation back in November and has a track record of being on the hawkish wing at the central bank.
Outgoing 2021 voter Daly, usually an outspoken advocate for patience in tightening policy to get as many people back into work as possible, also took a hawkish turn in December, declaring that two or three interest-rate hikes could be needed in 2022.
As recently as September she'd been unsure about the need to hike at all in the coming year, when forecasts showed that the Fed's policy makers were evenly split on the timing of interest-rate liftoff between 2022 or 2023.
That changed sharply, with the median estimate of Fed forecasts submitted at its Dec. 14-15 policy meeting shifting to three moves next year followed by three more in 2023, after consumer prices accelerated at the fastest annual pace in almost 40 years.
The Fed has 19 policy makers when all seven seats of its board in Washington are filled. Those officials have permanent votes on the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee, as does the head of the New York Fed. The other presidents of the U.S. central bank's 12 regional branches share FOMC votes on an annually rotating basis.

Due diligence and careful pre-auction planning are easily the most time consuming but important processes for deciding which tax deed properties to bid on, in which county, and what your bid ceiling is going to be. With 70+ auctions happening per month in Florida alone, keeping track of all that information can quickly become overwhelming. Cleartosell offers our service in counties in Florida and we know how difficult it can be to juggle all those auctions, so we decided to create and share a helpful tool to make auction planning more manageable!
We are excited to announce the launch of our online Tax Deed Auction Calendar now available on cleartosell.com! This is a rolling monthly calendar that is updated daily. With this calendar you can easily keep track of upcoming auctions across Florida. You can plan out which properties you want to bid on by clicking the name of the county and date you choose, and you will be navigated to the county website where you can search public records, look at what properties are up for auction, and even register for bidding if that county holds auctions online.
If you already have an existing profile at Cleartosell.com, you will have automatic access to your new calendar when you log in. If you do not have a profile yet or don't wish to create one, no worries! We still want you to have access to this great tool.

Foreclosure sales and Tax Deed sales possess procedural similarities, but vary among states depending on whether they are a judicial state or not. In Florida, the statutes that protect a tax deed purchaser make for a more secure investment than the risky and sensitive foreclosure sale process in Florida.
With a foreclosure sale, an interested party can challenge the sale on any procedural ground, and sales are often reversed. The investor must carry out thorough investigation of the foreclosure sale process to make sure all procedures were followed in strict compliance, which can quickly get expensive. If just one mistake was made, the sale poses high risk of being undone. In addition, a title policy will be denied on a property if every interested party was not personally served notice. If a party cannot be found to serve by hand, and instead notice is published to extinguish interest, that property will not qualify for a title policy. In addition, as if it couldn't get any more risky, a purchaser of a foreclosure is jointly and severally responsible as the previous owner for all unpaid Homeowner or Condo association assessments up to the transfer of title.
Tax deed purchasers, on the contrary, can rest easy knowing that Florida statutes are on their side. In a previous blog post, we discussed the statutes that protect a tax deed purchaser from owing any money to the HOA or condo associations for assessments made prior the tax deed sale. As long as each party receives notice, their interest is wiped out by the issuance of the tax deed. If an interested party were to contest the sale, it would have to be worth them potentially losing substantial amounts of money. If successfully overturned, not only will the contesting party have to pay the full amount the bidder paid at auction, plus interest, but all bidder's attorney fees, as well as any improvements that have been made to the property since the sale.
A quiet title action will extinguish any redemption rights, but the length of time involved to complete a quiet title is not a practical option for regular investors who want to turn around their profits quickly. A second, much faster alternative to quiet title is the tax deed certification service that Cleartosell provides. If we find that the tax sale was executed properly, according to Florida statutes, then we will certify that an investor can proceed to closing with a policy and convey the property via a warranty deed. With our average certification turnaround time currently at 17 business days, investors no longer have to wait months to sell a tax deed property at full fair market value. You will see there are great advantages to investing in Florida tax deeds over foreclosures due to the safeguards the Florida statutes provide to the tax deed investor.

Mount Clemens Doctor Sexually Assaults Child
A Detroit-area doctor sexually assaulted and critically injured a 13-month-old girl while babysitting for her, a prosecutor says. David Montaldi, 31, of Mount Clemens was arraigned Monday in Clinton Township District Court on first-degree criminal sexual conduct and child abuse charges. Judge Linda Davis ordered him held without bond in the Macomb County jail. It was unknown if he has a lawyer. The charges carry a possible sentence of up to life in prison. The girl had three or four skull fractures and other injuries, Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said at a news conference Monday. "The child is in very critical condition," Hackel said. The girl was being treated at Children's Hospital in Detroit. Montaldi was watching the girl while her mother worked Sunday and called the woman to say a dog may have hurt the toddler, Hackel said. The sheriff said that story appears to be untrue. Montaldi was a medical resident at Mount Clemens Regional Medical Center under an ear, nose and throat specialist for about two months ending Oct. 28, hospital Vice President Sharyl Smith told the Detroit Free Press. "We have no reason to believe that any patient care was compromised," Smith said. She said the hospital informed its staff of the charges and was offering help to any of them who need it.
