OTV Impact: Nine Odia labourers stranded in Dubai return to India
Edited By Odishatv Bureau Published By Suryakant Jena Last updated Jun 26, 2019 - 9:53 PM
Bhubaneswar: Almost a month after OTV telecast showing plight of ten Odia labourers stranded in Dubai, nine of them were brought back to India with the help of Ministry of External Affairs.
Union Ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Pratap Sarangi and other BJP leaders of Odisha today welcomed the rescued labourers in New Delhi today.
Sources said, one more stranded labourer will be brought back after the completion of all necessary official documentation.
"The labourers were stranded in the Gulf country for more than a year and had been facing a lot of trouble. After getting information on their plight, we sought intervention of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. With the help of the efforts from the foreign minister and others, the labourers were rescued and brought back to India," said Pradhan.
Narrating his ordeal, Sudhakar Swain, one of the stranded labourers said, "We had to go through extremely hard time during our stay in Dubai. We were given meagre payments during the first few weeks but later they denied to pay wages for nearly 8 months. Many a times, we even had to manage with just a piece of chapati and sometimes we were also forced to sleep in an empty stomach."
"The agent who took us to Dubai had taken Rs 80,000 from us to help us get a job in the Gulf country but we were only paid for the initial three months. Later our condition became so worse that we had to ask for Rs 20,000 from our family for sustaining in Dubai," said another labourer.
As many as 10 labourers from several parts of Odisha including Nayagarh, Khurda and Ganjam districts, who had gone to work in the UAE a year ago were found stranded in the Gulf country after a video of their plight was telecast in OTV.
Narrating their ordeal through the video footage, the labourers had alleged that they were being tortured, and forced by the broker to work overtime. Following media reports, Dharmendra Pradhan sought intervention of External Affairs Ministry to bring back the stranded labourers.

U.S. Military Seeks Its Role In Troubled North Africa The U.S. Africa Command, designed to strengthen defense relationships in Africa, is still trying to define its mission. African states have been wary, while the State Department and aid groups also express concerns. But growing conflicts in the region may soon put AFRICOM to the test.

< U.S. Military Seeks Its Role In Troubled North Africa
January 23, 20134:19 PM ET
ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, HOST:
And I'm Melissa Block.
The recent crises in Northern Africa - Libya, Mali and Algeria - have turned the spotlight on AFRICOM. That's the United States Africa Command. Created five years ago, its chief mission was to train African militaries so U.S. troops wouldn't be called on.
As NPR's Tom Bowman reports, the effort was controversial from day one.
TOM BOWMAN, BYLINE: Africa Command was barely up and running in 2008 when President George W. Bush visited Ghana. President John Kufuor pointed at him and bluntly said, you're not going to build any bases in Ghana. An exasperated Bush then met with the press.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: We do not contemplate adding new bases. In other words, the purpose of this is not to add military bases. I know there's rumors in Ghana, all Bush is coming to do is try to convince you to put a big military base here. That's baloney.
BUSH: Or as we say in Texas, that's bull.
BOWMAN: The U.S. got similar receptions elsewhere in Africa. So, the headquarters for U.S. Africa Command ended up in Stuttgart, Germany.
RICHARD DOWNIE: U.S. Africa Command had a sort of messy birth. African leaders weren't exactly lining up to volunteer their territory for AFRICOM.
BOWMAN: That's Richard Downie, an Africa analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
DOWNIE: Africans rightly have long memories of colonial on their continent which was so brutal in the way it was applied. It's very, very sensitive to the anything that smacks of neo-colonialism.
BOWMAN: They weren't the only ones concerned. State Department officials complained that the new AFRICOM would militarize foreign policy in Africa. Aid groups worried their work would be confused with U.S. military activities.
So now it has fallen to General Carter Ham, the second officer to run AFRICOM, to explain its role. His message? He just wants to help. General Ham spoke in Washington in December.
GENERAL CARTER HAM: We think we think our best efforts are when we are supporting and enabling African nations and African regional organizations to achieve their ends. That often gets condensed into the short-hand of African solutions to African problems.
BOWMAN: African leaders tell the U.S. military that real African problems are poverty, food shortages, a lack of education. U.S. Africa Command sees a different African problem: terrorism.
Again, General Ham.
HAM: Unsurprisingly, at the top of the list is countering violent extremist organizations.
BOWMAN: Countering violent extremists with what the military calls Phase Zero, training and equipping African militaries before a crisis begins. That way, the theory goes, the Africans can handle it and the U.S. doesn't have to send in combat troops.
Peter Pham is an Africa analyst who serves on AFRICOM's senior advisory board.
PETER PHAM: The idea that if we could engage African governments and militaries, there would be fewer calls for U.S. intervention when the conflicts broke out into serious conflagrations.
BOWMAN: But that doesn't always work. Michael Brenner teaches international relations at the University of Texas at Austin. He notes that in Mali some American-trained troops joined the enemy. The reason, he says, is that the U.S. fails to understand local political dynamics.
MICHAEL BRENNER: And we weren't doing the job we're supposed to be doing.
BOWMAN: So we're blundering into some of these countries.
BRENNER: We're blundering into something.
BOWMAN: Now Mali has deteriorated so much that France sent warplanes and troops to fight the rebels in its former colony, because government troops weren't up to the job. The U.S. helped France with cargo aircraft and could provide refueling planes and surveillance equipment.
DOWNIE: The U.S. is in a tricky position now.
BOWMAN: Again, Africa analyst Richard Downie.
DOWNIE: It wants to support the French, its ally in Africa, in defeating these Islamist terrorist groups in Mali. But, at the same time, it wants to stick to its Phase Zero formula and its core mandate, which is training and equipping and professionalizing African militaries.
BOWMAN: U.S. Africa Command may find itself in tricky positions throughout Africa. It wants to focus on training but may find itself drawn into conflict.

New LVRs safe for banks but won't fix bubble
12 May, 2015 11:02 PM 4 minutes to read
There is a risk some banks might race to do as much high loan-to-value (LVR) lending to investors as possible before the new rules come into effect on October 1. Photo: Doug Sherring.
A banking expert says new lending restrictions targeting Auckland property investors will make banks' loan books safer but may fail to significantly cool the city's surging housing market.
And there is a risk that some banks might race to do as much high loan-to-value (LVR) lending to investors as possible before the new rules come into effect on October 1, said Massey University's David Tripe.
The Reserve Bank announced this morning that new limits on lending to property investors in the Auckland Council area will require those borrowers to have a deposit of at least 30 per cent from October 1.
• New mortgage rules for Auckland investors: They must have 30 per cent deposit
• Liam Dann: Auckland's house bubble
• Dairy an "area of risk": Reserve Bank
The central bank said the danger of a sharp correction occurring in the Auckland market had increased since its November report and investors had been the key source of new demand in the city, accounting for about a third of new lending in the six months ended March 31.
Tripe said the new rules may not have a big impact on price inflation in Auckland's housing market.
"What it will do is make the loans safer and reduce the problems for the banks if the banks if the loans go wrong," Tripe said. "It will have some marginal impact on reining in property prices, but I wouldn't count on it having a huge impact on that."
The Reserve Bank said it would like banks to "abide by the spirit" of the new rules before they come into force.
Tripe said he did not want to "go around naming names", but he suspected some banks will carry on lending "as much as they can" to property investors before the rule change.
In this morning's press conference, the Reserve Bank said previous experience around the introduction of LVR limits for first home buyers, in October 2013, had been positive and banks had not rushed to lend before the rules came into effect.

How much to stay here?
New Zealand Bankers' Association chief executive Kirk Hope said he did not believe banks would rush to do as much high LVR lending to investors as possible before October 1.
"I think what banks will be wanting to do is understand what the limitations are and ensure they're able to meet those requirements by 1 October," Hope said.
He said the current LVR restrictions had driven property speculation because first home buyers had been shut out of the market, meaning investors faced less competition for properties that came up for sale.
The association was yet to do any analysis on whether lending curbs on property investors would have the desired effect of cooling house price inflation in Auckland, Hope added.
"What they're trying to do is, to the extent that is possible, is dampen demand, which mitigates further price inflation in a way that doesn't create financial instability."
Hope said the association welcomed the Reserve Bank's decision to increase the existing speed limit for high LVR borrowing outside of Auckland from 10 to 15 per cent.
"This is a positive move and recognises the very different housing market conditions outside of Auckland."
A BNZ spokeswoman said the bank looked forward to seeing more detail on the rules and working with the Reserve Bank to ensure policy changes could be efficiently implemented.
"It's difficult to be specific about exact implications at this stage," she said. "Issues like boundary definitions are likely to require a considerable amount of work to get to an efficient and effective solution"
The spokeswoman said a lack of housing supply and strong inward migration were the fundamental issues driving housing affordability in Auckland.
"We support sensible measures that help address the supply problem and the fundamental drivers of the Auckland housing market."
Vince Clark, ASB's head of home lending, said the bank welcomed the Reserve Bank's proposal to ease restrictions on residential lending outside Auckland.
"In Auckland, any initiative to focus on the demand side of the housing equation will need to be combined with measures to address the supply side limitations which remain a key driver of Auckland's housing market," Clark said.
He said ASB would "abide by the spirit" of the new rules before they come into force.

Dan Marino (born Daniel Constantine Marino, Jr. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 15, 1961) is a former American football quarterback who played for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League. Dan is known as one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history, holding or having held almost every major NFL passing record. Originally drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1979, he instead decided to play college football, where he got himself noticed.
Though Dan has never been on a Super Bowl-winning team, he is the quarterback that young players aspire to be like. He is best known for his quick release and powerful arm, and he led his team to the playoffs ten times in his seventeen-season career. In 1999, Dan was ranked number 27 on The Sporting News list of the 100 greatest football players, making him the highest-ranking Dolphins player ever. He was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
Best Known For:
Being an American football quarterback for the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League, and for fathering a love child.
Personal Life:
Dan married his wife Claire in 1985, and they currently live in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. They have four children: Daniel (born 1986), Michael (born 1988), Joseph (born 1989), Alexandra (born 1992), and they have two adopted daughters from China: Lia (born 1995) and Niki Lin (born 1996).
In January 2013, Dan admitted that he fathered a love child with a CBS employee called Donna Savattere in 2005, whom he paid millions to stay quiet. She gave birth to his daughter, called Chloe, whom she now raises with her husband. Dan and Claire have not separated over the matter.
Dan released a statement regarding the matter on Jan. 30 2013: "This is a personal and private matter. I take full responsibility both personally and financially for my actions now as I did then. We mutually agreed to keep our arrangement private to protect all parties involved."

Microsoft's new browser is called Project Spartan
By Michelle Fitzsimmons 2015-01-21T18:04:00.2Z
This is your web browser!
New browser, anyone?
As part of Microsoft's Windows 10 consumer reveal, the company is outlining its new browser, called Project Spartan.
The browser is marked by a darker theme and a number of new functions. For one, users can interact with a web page using a pen or keyboard. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore showed how users could mark up a web page, making notes and drawings on the screen, and then share it with friends.
Microsoft put a greater emphasis on reading with Project Spartan; the browser features a reading mode, a standardized yet customizable way to read content on the web. Microsoft also included a reading list inthe core web browser, one that carries over between devices. The reading list can be saved offline, so you can read saved pages on a flight with no Wi-Fi, for example. There is also built-in support for PDF files.
Cortana is here, too
Continuing its central role in the Windows 10 experience, Cortana is built directly into Project Spartan.
Belfiore described how the assistant will "pop up" when needed while a user browsers. In addition to offering answers to traditional search queries, Cortana, the personal assistant that it is, can give details geared toward a user's specific needs. For example, if you have a Facebook event planned at a restaurant coming up, Cortana can pull information for the restaurant, such as directions and the menu, on Project Spartan.
Project Spartan will not come to phone right away, Belfiore said. It will land on PC first, though not in the first build.
A new build for Windows 10 is due next week.

Q: How do I make my time-series data continuous in Python/Pandas? I have occupancy data that is recorded every time someone enters the house (Note: Value == 1 means there is a person inside the house).
For example (Table A):
Time                 Value
2019-05-12-16:44:22  1
2019-05-12-16:44:49  1
2019-05-12-16:45:43  1
2019-05-12-16:49:19  1
2019-05-12-16:52:19  1
...

But I need to compare this data with continuous data, which looks something like (Table B):
Time                 Value
2019-05-12-16:44:00  5.05
2019-05-12-16:45:00  5.05
2019-05-12-16:46:00  5.05
2019-05-12-16:47:00  12.05
2019-05-12-16:48:00  12.05
...

so basically, I need to match the length of table A & B so that it looks like:
Time                 Value  Value
2019-05-12-16:44:00  5.05   1
2019-05-12-16:45:00  5.05   1
2019-05-12-16:46:00  5.05   1
2019-05-12-16:47:00  12.05  1
2019-05-12-16:48:00  12.05  1
...

My question is: How can I change Table A just like Table B so that data is continuous (in minutes) ?

A: It looks like you just need to truncate minutes and join the tables based on the new time index.

"Food residues and by-products are being generated in very significant quantities by the food industry and the agricultural sector"
A scientist at the University of York will today announce a new project aimed at producing valuable biomass-derived chemicals, materials and fuels from waste orange. Professor James Clark, of the Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence in the University's Department of Chemistry, said the project will examine ways of extracting value from orange peel using safe and sustainable chemistry.
Christened the Orange Peel Exploitation Company (OPEC), the project is a partnership between researchers from York, the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil and the University of Cordoba, Spain.
Professor Clark will make the announcement in a special presentation sponsored by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation at the British Science Festival at the University of Bradford on 14 September.
OPEC will target products including bio-ethanol, the widely used additive in domestic products d-limonene, and mesoporous carbons that can be used as water purifiers, as well as chemical commodities such as cresol, all of which have the advantage of being bio-derived.
Professor Clark says: "The by-product of the juicing industry therefore has the potential to provide a range of compounds, offering a more profitable and environmentally valuable alternative to current waste use practices. We are seeking to do this by harnessing the chemical potential of food supply chain waste using green chemical technologies and use nature's own functionalities to obtain sought-after properties in everyday products.
"Waste is a problem worldwide. Food residues and by-products are being generated in very significant quantities by the food industry and the agricultural sector. Though they are sometimes used in low-value applications, they are often landfilled, which is economically and socially unacceptable as well as representing a major loss of resource.

Helena-West Helena
The River Town Full of History, Blues and Catfish
by Curtis Lanning
Sitting along the banks of the Mississippi River, travelers will find Helena-West Helena, a town with rich history, soulful blues music and all the catfish one can eat.
Shane Williams, executive director of Main Street Helena, encourages those seeking a fresh start to consider the town he calls home. Newcomers have the opportunity to live in a historically and culturally rich area with small town rent and access to big city living, according to Williams. Helena is only 72 miles from Memphis.
Two more advantages the city offers? Welcoming residents and an "astonishing" low cost of living, Williams said.
Music and Helena go hand in hand. The town was where country superstar Conway Twitty got his start, forming the Phillips County Ramblers. Although he wasn't born in Helena, Williams said Twitty moved there at age 10 with his family. And the town is unveiling an interpretive marker in Twitty's honor on Friday to mark the 25th anniversary of the star's passing.
The musician's family will come to town and discuss their memories of living in Helena and a young Twitty, according to Williams.
Helena is also home to the longest running daily U.S. radio program. The show is called "King Biscuit Time," and it premiered in 1941. To this day, the program is still running, although longtime host "Sunshine" Sonny Payne passed away in February.
The famous blues music radio show got its name from original sponsor King Biscuit Flour.
"It is a big deal," Williams said.
Now streamed online, King Biscuit Time now has followers from blues fans across the globe in Europe and Australia, Williams said.
Helena residents have some great restaurants to choose from, but Williams said one of the most popular is Southbound Tavern, which offers steaks, sandwiches and salads. Downtown Bar & Grill is another popular choice, offering burgers, philly cheese steaks and more. Williams said the town has a great coffee shop in Bailee Maes.
Chris Richey, executive director of the Phillips County Chamber of Commerce, said Helena's mom and pop businesses have been growing the last few years.

"We've got a good base," he said.
Richey said the people of Helena step up and have been willing to start new businesses where they see a need.
With the arrival of summer, Williams said Helena puts on the Cherry Street Fair, which offers vendors, foods, crafts, live music, games and more on the second Saturday of every month through September.
Though he admitted, the heat can be a challenge for organizing outdoor festivals in the Mississippi Delta.
"It just gets so brutally hot down here in the summer," he said.
With that said, being on the Mississippi River offers great access to plenty of outdoor activities. The Quapaw Canoe Company offers day excursions to Buck Island and other sand bars for camping.
And the fishing? Amazing, according to Williams.
"We're known as some of the best cat fishing on the Mississippi," he said, adding the fish get huge because of the grain silos along the river.
In fact, on August 17 and 18, Cabela's is coming to town for an inaugural catfish tournament, Williams said.
If music and outdoor activities aren't enough, Williams said the town has a rich historic downtown, dating back to the 1830s. Helena offers some of the most historically intact downtown buildings that encapsulate the growth and prominence of the Delta in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Williams said.
Mark Twain even wrote about Helena, noting it occupies "one of the prettiest situations on the Mississippi."
For history buffs, the town offers a replica of Fort Curtis, from the Civil War. A battle took place at the location in 1863.
Williams admitted Helena has its problems, saying Phillips County is "somewhat of a poor county."
"We understand the challenges," he said.
That combined with a steady population decline create some potent obstacles for Helena's future. But Williams said the steadfast residents meet those challenges head-on.
The Main Street Helena executive director said groups throughout town work in unison to get goals accomplished and move forward, all while creating a welcoming environment.
That attitude dates back to the town's start, when it was a riverboat community. Helena residents became used to a transient population and welcomed them all. That attitude is still very much alive today.
Speaking on newcomers, Williams said, "They make a place for them at the table."

Muswellbrook, the town
Can we see a Doctor if we don't have an appointment?
Whilst it is preferred that you have an appointment, a Doctor on call is available Monday to Fridays for patients who have urgent medical problems and do not have an appointment.
Unfortunately this may require waiting as the doctor is on call for all emergencies at both Brook Medical Centre and the Hospital.
Every effort will be made to reduce your waiting time. Patients will be assessed by the practice nurse and the most urgent cases will be seen first.
When are Child Immunisation Clinics held?
Brook Medical Centre holds Child Immunisation Clinics every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 11am and 12pm.
Please remember to bring your child's Blue Book and your Medicare Card.
If you cannot attend the clinic please make an appointment with your Doctor for a full baby check & immunisation.
Is Brook Medical Centre a Bulk Bill Practice
Brook Medical Centre is a private practice.
All Accounts must be paid for at the time of consultation. If you have difficulties paying your account, please talk to your Doctor.
Health Care Card Holders and Pension Card Holders will usually be Bulk Billed; however, there may be a charge for a consultation. Please let your Doctor know if you fall into these categories at the time of your consultation. It is also our current practise to bulk bill children up to 16 years of age.
Our Practice accepts MasterCard and Visa, and will accept cheques from existing patients. EFTPOS is available. We also offer HIC Online claiming, processed directly through Medicare where your refund is deposited directly into your bank account.
Your Medical Information
Your medical record is a confidential document.
It is the policy of this practice to:
To maintain security of personal health information at all times, and
To ensure this information is only available to authorised members of staff.
Patients have a right to access their own personal health information we hold. Please see our Practice Manager for further information on this.
The Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles require our practice to have a document that clearly sets out its policies on handling personal information, including health information.
This document, called a Privacy Policy, outlines how we handle personal information collected (including health information) and how we protect this information.
Our practice has used the privacy policy template available from the RACGP and this has been adapted to reflect how our practice collects and uses personal information.
Our privacy policy is displayed in the waiting room and also on the practice information sheet and practice website and is readily presented to anyone who asks.
Our collection of information statement informs patients about how their personal health information will be used, including by other organisations to which the practice usually discloses patient information to, and any law that requires the particular information to be collected. Patient consent to the handling and sharing of personal patient health information is sought and documented early in the process of clinical care, and patients are made aware of the collection statement when giving consent to share health information.
According to the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, an organisation may use or disclose personal health information for a purpose (the secondary purpose) which is directly related to the primary purpose of collection without seeking consent, but only if the individual would have a reasonable expectation that the information could be used or disclosed for that secondary purpose.
A directly related secondary purpose for the use and disclosure of personal health information in our practice includes the many activities necessary for the provision of a health service, such as management, funding and monitoring, as well as complaint-handling, planning, evaluation and accreditation activities.
It is essential to recognise the importance of 'reasonable expectation' as many individuals may be unaware of the range of activities for which their personal health information may be used and disclosed, such as the accreditation processes. Our practice ensures we tell patients how, and for what purpose, personal health information collected about them could be used or disclosed.
Patients are advised of this 'secondary purpose' in a number of ways, including:
At the time of the consultation with a general practitioner
Via the practice privacy statement in the practice information sheet
Via the practice privacy statement on signage on the walls of the practice, and/or
By reading, understanding and signing a new patient information form when first registering at the practice, which incorporates the practice privacy statement.
It is important we maintain a patient's right to 'opt out' of the secondary purpose through refusal to consent. If an individual expresses negative views or opposition when made aware of a proposed secondary use or disclosure of their personal health information, this would indicate that they have a reasonable expectation that their personal health information will not be used or disclosed in that manner, and their non-consent is recorded on file.

It seems like no matter what we do, or how many precautions we take, there is a brand new scam artist around every corner, just waiting to give mystery shopping a bad name. Before accepting any type of mystery shopping assignment, always be sure to educate yourself!
Is it a legitimate company, and are they a member of the MPSA?
Is the assignment asking you do perform tasks that are illegal or questionable?
Is the company asking you to pay to be a shopper, or pay to find assignments in your area?
If you have any concerns about the legitimacy of a mystery shopping company or a mystery shop in particular, ask! You can reach out to other companies, or to the MSPA itself at www.mysteryshop.org.
One of the trends in scams right now involves check cashing and money transferring. Our company WILL NEVER ask you to send us money for shops. If someone posing as a representative of our company contacts you with a check, asking you to deposit it and/or wire money to someone else, this is most certainly a scam.

Why the US assassination of Iran general Qassem Soleimani is the riskiest decision of Donald Trump's presidency
Friday 3 January 2020, 12:30pm
ITV News Correspondent
The White House military order to assassinate Qassem Suleimani, the leader of Iran's powerful Quds force, may prove to be the most significant (and certainly the riskiest) decision of the Trump presidency.
At a stroke, it transforms a Washington-Tehran contest that was being waged by proxies, and often conducted in the shadows using cyber-warfare and CIA ops, into a direct conflict.
This is a very public American assassination of Iran's second most powerful official.
President Trump was clearly proud of the move. Moments before a Pentagon statement, he simply tweeted an image of an American flag, with no text.
US kills Iran's most senior general Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad airstrike
Who was Iranian general Qassem Soleimani?
The question of course is how Tehran responds. With Iranian influence stretching in a crescent from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, via Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, it has multiple options. We cannot know which choice it will make.
The Iranians could opt to attack a US ally, like Israel or Saudi Arabia, similar to the previous missile strike on a Saudi oil facility.
Or it could close the Strait of Hormuz by releasing mines into the critical waterway; or give the green light to a team of operatives to conduct a counter-assassination.
The other possibility would be the riskiest of all - a direct attack on US forces in the Middle East.
But that would likely trigger a rapidly-escalating war that could prove extraordinarily unpredictable.
Cynics have speculated Donald Trump could try to divert attention away from his impeachment. Credit: AP
Donald Trump's impeachment shows poison and vitriol surrounding US politics
Cynics in Washington always suggested that impeachment would also bring a giant White House-generated foreign policy distraction.
We now have that exact moment: the Senate convening today for the first time in 2020 and a dramatic escalation in the tensions with Iran.
This crisis looks especially unpredictable, even by Middle East standards.
In many ways it is the perfect storm: a presidential election year; an impeachment month; Europe and the US holding vastly divergent views on how to handle Iran; and a regime in Tehran that feels endangered by protests and strangled by sanctions.

New papers and articles on microbiology of the built environment, August 17, 2015

Science papers about mosquitoes in urban parks and purses as fomites, and popular press articles about dirty menus in restaurants and filtering bacteria with book pages. Here is a good song to match the latter two: Turn the Page by Metallica.
Diversity and abundance of mosquitoes (Diptera:Culicidae) in an urban park: Larval habitats and temporal variation РAnt̫nio R. Medeiros-Sousa РActa Tropica
(…) In Brazil, the effect of annual climate variations on Aedes aegypti and dengue epidemics in large cities like São Paulo is well known, but little is known about how such variations can affect the diversity of mosquito vectors in urban parks and the risk of disease transmission by these vectors. This study investigates the influence of larval habitats and seasonal factors on the diversity and abundance of Culicidae fauna in Anhanguera Park, one of the largest remaining green areas in the city of São Paulo. (…). A total of 11,036 specimens from 57 taxa distributed in 13 genera were collected. (…) The increased abundance of mosquitoes in warm-rainy months and the fact that some of the species are epidemiologically important increase not only the risk of pathogen transmission to people who frequent urban parks but also the nuisance represented by insect bites. The findings of this study highlight the importance of knowledge of culicid ecology in green areas in urban environments.
A study to investigate the importance of purses as fomites – Susheela D Biranjia-Hurdoyal – Advanced Biomedical Research
A total of 145 purses from 80  women and  65 men were swabbed and cultured. The bacteria were identified by gram staining and with the standard biochemical tests. A total of 138 purses (95.2%) showed bacterial contamination, out of which 49.4% had a single growth and 50.7% had mixed growth. The material of the purse was found to affect bacterial growth. Synthetic purses showed higher mean colony-forming unit (CFU) counts (P < 0.05). Micrococcus (64.8%) and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (64.1%) were the most common bacteria isolated, followed by Bacillus spp. (13.8%). Micrococcus was found with a higher prevalence on men's purses, while Bacillus spp. were more prominent on women's purses (P < 0.05). The difference between the rates of bacterial growth from the purses of women and of men was found to be statistically significant (57.2% and 44.7%; P < 0.05). Furthermore, the mean CFU count was higher for men's purses than for women's purses (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Purses from both men and women are potential vectors for transmission of diseases across the community. The use of synthetic purses should be discouraged, as they contribute to  increased bacterial colonization.
What's on the menu? Bacteria — lots of them – Elisa Ung – North Jersey.com
"Menus are usually the most bacteria-laden object on a restaurant table. Worse than the ketchup bottle, the sugar and the salt and pepper shakers. The only thing that comes close: highchairs, said Chuck Gerba, a professor of microbiology at the University of Arizona. He's gone undercover in many restaurants, carrying swabs, to determine this sad fact. Gerba says menus routinely carry more bacteria than even toilet seats or doorknobs — and all those pre-dinner snacks make it worse, since bacteria thrive in the presence of food. Bacteria are everywhere, of course, but his findings confirm my suspicions about how little they're cleaned off."
Bug-killing book pages clean murky drinking water – Jonathan Webb – BBC
A book with pages that can be torn out to filter drinking water has proved effective in its first field trials. The "drinkable book" combines treated paper with printed information on how and why water should be filtered. Its pages contain nanoparticles of silver or copper, which kill bacteria in the water as it passes through. In trials at 25 contaminated water sources in South Africa, Ghana and Bangladesh, the paper successfully removed more than 99% of bacteria. The resulting levels of contamination are similar to US tap water, the researchers say. Tiny amounts of silver or copper also leached into the water, but these were well below safety limits. The results were presented at the 250th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston, US.

All our case consultations are free. No fees or costs are ever due up front to retain us in personal injury, wrongful death or disability matters.
The team at the Law Offices of Mike Murburg, P.A. includes several experienced and well-qualified members. Tampa Social Security disability attorney Mike Murburg is available to assist you in legal matters even up to the level of the United States Supreme Court. He provides legal representation for Social Security disability, long-term disability, and railroad retirement disability.
In addition, our experienced legal assistants are readily able to fulfill the duties of the support staff, assisting in the filing of applications and other filings pertaining to your case. At Mike Murburg, P.A. we earn our reputation one case at a time.
In general, when someone wants to make an SSDI or SSI claim, he or she can go to the local Social Security Office in their particular area to submit an application. However, the majority of claims are filed either over the internet at SSA.gov or by appointment over the phone at 1-800-772-1213. When you apply, you will need to have your Social Security number available, as well as the names, addresses and phone numbers of all treating physicians and those doctors who know about your condition. Making a list of all prior employers, as well as a description of your jobs over the 15 years prior to filing your claim will be helpful too.
Once you have gathered all this information, if you would like to come in and discuss your claim in greater detail, please feel free to call 813-264-5363 and schedule an appointment with us. While you are here, we can answer your questions and even set up your over-the-phone intake appointment with the Social Security Administration. Just give us a call. We want to be your Tampa Social Security disability attorney.
For adults, Social Security disability benefits traditionally fall under three categories: Social Security disability insurance benefits (SSDI), supplemental security income benefits (SSI), Social Security disabled widow's benefits (DWBs) and disabled adult child benefits (DAC).
Generally speaking, if you are disabled and cannot work and you have earned enough Social Security credits (you must have earned Social Security credits in 10 of the last 20 quarters prior to the onset of your disability), SSDI benefits are payable to you from the Social Security disability benefit insurance that you accrued while you worked (on the books) and paid into the system by way of your weekly or monthly payroll deductions or self-employment taxes.
If you have not earned enough quarters, and you are indigent, then you may be eligible for SSI benefits if you cannot work.
If you are a surviving spouse who is over 50, develops a disability within seven years of the spouse's death and either has not worked or has benefits payable under your own Social Security number that are less than those that would be payable under your deceased spouse's Social Security number, you are eligible to receive disabled widow/widower's benefits. However, please note that eligibility for the benefit relies on your inability to work due to a severe underlying physical or mental condition that occurs within seven years of the death of your spouse to whom you were married 10 years or more and who earned enough Social Security credits on his or her own account.
Disabled adult child benefits are Social Security disability benefits for "adult children" who are disabled and between the ages of 19 and 22 and beyond, as long as they do not recover from their disability or marry.
If you are or have a disabled child under the age of 18 who has a severe disability and are of limited means and financial resources, benefits may be paid regardless of the parents' ability to work. A child may be eligible for benefits until the age of 18 if that child has a mental or physical condition that is so severe that it results in severe or marked functional limitations. Just like adult SSDI, SSI and adult child SSI, the condition must either last or be expected to last 12 months or more or is likely to result in death. The child also cannot be gainfully employed at any SGA levels discussed below.
In addition to the above, the SSA must look at the overall health and wellbeing of the child. One "extreme" limitation or two "marked" limitations so diagnosed by a treating physician in the domains referenced above will entitle the child to benefits when all other financial entitlement restrictions have been met.
If you have any question as to whether or not your child meets the Functional Equivalence, Mike Murburg and his team have a "Childhood Disability Evaluation Form" in the RFC/form section of this website that you may download and take to your child's physician to complete. If you do so, we will be happy to discuss your or your child's potential SSI case.
If you are denied benefits at the initial stage of your application (as the majority of applicants are), you will need to appeal your claim within 60 days of the denial. If you do not timely file your appeal, which is known as a "Request for Reconsideration," you will have to refile again and ultimately proceed to the back of the line. As a Tampa Social Security disability attorney, Mike Murburg is often asked about what needs to be said when filing an appeal. However, there is no need for confusion or anxiety. As long as what you say is truthful, you can simply state, "I am still unable to work fulltime at any Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) due to the reasons set forth in my original application." It can be that simple.
Once you have been turned down and are at the appeal stage of the process, it is probably a good idea to hire an experienced Social Security disability attorney like Mike Murburg to help you with your claim. Why? To be sure, things will get more difficult as you progress through the process and the earlier you retain counsel, the more time he or she will have to obtain all the necessary medical records and opinions to successfully handle your file.
If you timely file your Request for Reconsideration and you get turned down again, the next level in the appeal process is to make what is called a "Request for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge." Again, filing this request must be done within 60 days of you receiving the denial of reconsideration. Tampa Social Security disability attorney Mike Murburg strongly encourages individual to file the request for an ALJ hearing immediately upon receipt of the denial. The reasons for this are many, the least of which is that the Social Security Administration (SSA) dates its denials and can mail them weeks later, thereby prejudicing your rights to appeal. That said, it is important to always save the envelopes in which your denials arrive. Doing so could mean the difference between moving your claim forward or returning to the back of the line.
Many people have disabilities, but not all disabilities are entitled to benefits. Over the past 30 years as a Tampa Social Security disability attorney, Mike Murburg has learned and told his clients that "disability" in the Social Security arena is not necessarily a "medical" determination but rather a "vocational" and "administrative" one.
When the Administration evaluates a case, they use what is called their "Five Step Process." As a side note, this process is the same process used in Railroad Retirement benefit cases as well.
In Step 1, the SSA asks whether or not the applicant is working. If the answer is "yes," then the SSA determines whether or not the individual is making too much money to be considered disabled. If the answer is "no" or the individual's earnings are beneath the amount of earnings considered to be an "SGA" or a "Substantial Gainful Activity," then the Administration proceeds to Step 2.
At Step 2, the SSA determines whether or not your medical condition is "severe." This means the Administration will look at whether or not your condition prevents you from performing the basic functions of work for at least a year. This usually requires medical records and some input from your treating physician that the disabling condition has lasted or will last for at least 12 months. If it does, then the Administration moves to Step 3.
At Step 3, the SSA determines whether your disabling conditions meets certain criteria or the "Listing" within the SSA's own medical guidelines known as the "Disability Evaluation Under Social Security." The almost 300-page medical guide is provided for Social Security physicians and medical evaluators to use to determine whether an individual meets a medical listing for disability. Tampa Social Security disability attorney Mike Murburg's experience over the years has revealed that some determinations are easy to make, like in the case of a person missing two arms or legs or a combination of the two or someone with restricted mental abilities and an IQ of 50 or below. However, things can get quite complicated in some instances. If the individual's condition does not meet the very strict medical guidelines for the severity of the medical condition, then the individual and his or her case becomes a "Vocational Case" and gets evaluated at Steps 4 and 5.
At Step 4, the SSA will determine whether the claimant can perform any "Prior Relevant Work" or "PRW." PRW is work that a claimant has done on a full-time basis prior to being unable to work. If the SSA finds that the claimant can return to any past relevant work, not as it was actually performed at the time, but as it is performed nationally as described in the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles," then the claimant loses the claim. If the individual cannot return to any PRW, then the SSA and eventually an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will take the case evaluation to Step 5.
At Step 5, the burden is shifted to the Social Security Administration to determine based upon the claimant's age, education, physical and mental condition, past relevant work (PRW), special training, skills and transferable job skills, whether there are there are any jobs that he or she can do that exist in sufficient numbers in the national economy (not your local area).
This determination is made by a "Vocational Expert" (VE) who works for the SSA and will testify at the hearing, should one become necessary. Both the ALJ and the VE will utilize the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles" (DOT) and "The Grids," which are guidelines that are based on a very complicated formula that depends on a claimant's age and sedentary, light, and medium "exertional levels" to see, based on both the physician's restrictions and the SSA physicians of record, where the claimant fits in order to make their determination. If the SSA determines that the claimant can perform fulltime, gainful employment in some capacity (it can be something as simple as a ticket taker or ticket seller at a movie theatre, gate guard, gate checker or surveillance system monitor), then the claimant will be found to be "not disabled" under Social Security Guidelines.
As you can see, the practice of Social Security disability law is a very specialized one. That said, it is critical that any attorney you hire be completely knowledgeable of the Disability Evaluation Under Social Security guidelines, the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT) and the Grids in order to properly obtain necessary opinions from physicians, develop your testimony and cross examine the Vocational Expert. Your attorney must be prepared to phrase proper hypotheticals to the VE and the ALJ so that all critical aspects of the case can be properly considered. As a Tampa Social Security disability attorney, Mike Murburg does this exclusively for a living and he is well aware of these criteria and the Vocational Experts and ALJs that use them. For instance, if you lose at Step 5, you have the right to further appeal any errors that you think the ALJ made in deciding your case.

Middle School Safety
This middle school safety article focuses on safety in transportation, privacy issues, family issues, violence and theft, and safety in regard to bullying and sexual harassment by middle schoolers.
As students approach adolescence, life can get complicated on a number of fronts. For some students at this age, developmental issues, the challenge of more difficult schoolwork, peer pressure, and fraught family circumstances can lead to safety issues for themselves and others. This article will discuss several important safety considerations for middle school and junior high school students.
Since students who walk to middle school are not supervised, several safety issues may arise. One such issue is hitchhiking. Clearly it can seem more convenient to have a ride to school than to have to walk, but students need to know that getting into a vehicle with someone who they do not know and who doesn't have a position of community trust (like a teacher or police officer) is a very bad idea.
Other issues that can arise in these unsupervised circumstances include peer pressure and bullying. If the student has no alternative to walking, he or she may be afraid to report what happens on the way to or from school for fear of reprisals. But hopefully it you create an atmosphere of trust and honesty, your child will be able to tell you if anything uncomfortable is going on.
School bus transportation brings up other issues, including being attentive to the bus driver, being respectful to seatmates, and being thoughtful and careful when there is the possibility of germs spreading. Unless the bus driver assigns seats, your child may end up sitting with someone he or she would otherwise avoid. Considering this, you should give your child some guidance about what to do in such a situation, depending on the specifics. If the child feels that he or she is in danger, he should always tell the bus driver.
Middle schools have different policies about physical education, changing, and showering. Find out what school policies are and help your child establish boundaries that he or she is comfortable with and that make him or her feel safe.
Safety When There Are Family Issues
If there is a restraining order or custody agreement that affects the child, the child should be absolutely clear about the terms of it, particularly if there are people who are forbidden to contact the child. The details should be clearly communicated to the middle school to avoid any possible problems. The child should know how to get help if somebody who is not supposed to be in contact is found to be on school property. Some parents feel more comfortable if a child in this situation has a cell phone, but this may need a school okay if student phones are not allowed in the classroom.
Safety Issues With Violence and Theft
According to a 2007 report from the National Center for Education Statistics, which does not separate middle school and senior high school student data, 1.5 million students aged12-18 were victimized by violent crimes and theft at school in 2005. Most of the crimes were thefts. For this reason, you may wish to limit the type of items that students take to school, making them less likely to be targeted. Sneakers, cash, and iPods or other MP3 players are popular targets of theft. Students should also be careful to keep their locker combinations and valuable items that they must bring to school, such as musical instruments, safe.
Safety Issues With Bullying and Sexual Harassment
The Department of Justice National Center for Victims of Crime defines bullying as a person threatens or hurts another person, whether in writing, verbally, or physically. Sexual harassment includes sexual advances that are not welcome; asking for sexual favors; exposing another person to conduct of a sexual nature, whether physical or verbal; and negative behavior, such as acts of hostility that are based on sex, even if they cannot be characterized themselves as sexual.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports in Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2008, published in April, 2009, that reports of daily or weekly bullying and sexual harassment by students of other students were more frequent in middle schools in 2005-06 than in high schools. In 2007, thirty-two percent of students aged12-18 reported having been bullied at school in the preceding six months.
Students need to know what bullying and sexual harassment are so that they can avoid engaging in behaviors that fit these categories and so that they can recognize when someone else is being a bully or harassing them or others. It is especially important for them to recognize the difference between healthy "flirting" and other dating behavior that emerges in adolescence on the one hand and sexual harassment on the other hand.
Schools tend to have explicit rules against peer sexual harassment and bullying, and beyond that, some types of bullying and harassment are also crimes and can be reported both to the school and to the police. Students need to know that they can and should report bullying and harassment that does not hurt them physically but involves only words, such as false rumors, gossip, or threats.

Dorothy L. Gilliam
By Editor | October 14, 2019 | 0
Mrs. Dorothy L. Gilliam died peacefully on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 in Portsmouth, Ohio at the age of 88. Dorothy is survived by two sons, Jerry Michael Gilliam (Jo Ellen) of Port Clinton, Ohio and Jon Charles Gilliam (Tony Frisby) of Philadelphia, PA, as well as grandchildren Joshua Michael Gilliam (Jamie Lynn) and Nicholas Michael Gilliam (Corinne) and two Great Grandchildren (Jaxon and Henlie). She is preceded in death by her husband Charles Alvin Gilliam of Minford, Ohio. Dorothy was born on July 4th, 1931 in Minford Ohio to Linda Debo and Xavier Debo. She graduated from Minford High School in 1948, and married Charles on July 13, 1952. After moving to Caledonia, Ohio, Dorothy was actively involved volunteering in the community there including at the American Cancer Society, as a Boy Scout mother giving swimming lessons, and providing computer education training at Caledonia Elementary School. Her children remember her as an intelligent and fiercely independent person who had overcome many hard and difficult obstacles in her life. She had a steadfast dedication to those close to her which motivated her to become a caregiver to many friends and family over the years. This included the long-term care she provided in her home to her own mother, who was bedfast with rheumatoid arthritis. Over the years, Dorothy also provided care to others in the face of deteriorating health near the end of their lives, including her mother-in-law Donna Gilliam, her husband Charles, and her brother Russel Debo. Dorothy was a life-long learner, and at mid-life when computers were first becoming available for home use, she set about learning their use along with her son Jon, which launched him on his eventual career. She loved teaching and interacting with young people, and as a volunteer computer instructor at the local elementary school, she had an impact on many young minds. She was a passionate amateur photographer and scrap-booker, compiling many albums of photos of the family annotated with family history. Dorothy was also a dedicated member of the Church, and later in life taught herself by ear how to play the piano with enough skill to play during services.
Funeral services will be conducted 1:00 p.m. Sunday, October 13, 2019 at Erwin-Dodson-Allen Funeral Home in Minford Ohio with Pastor Jim Dummitt officiating. Burial will be at Beaver Union Cemetery in Beaver, OH. Friends may call at the funeral home from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. prior to the service on Sunday. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Dorothy's life. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to SOMC Hospice at 2201 25th Street, Portsmouth, Ohio 45662. The family would like to thank the caregivers at SOMC Hospice as well as Jeanie Creech, Delmer and Debbie Parker for their efforts and dedication.

New Details Emerge About Mossad's Operation to Obtain Documents in Iran

JNS.org – Additional details from the Mossad's audacious operation in the heart of Tehran are continuing to emerge in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's dramatic speech on Iran's nuclear program.
Hadashot evening news reported on Tuesday that on Jan. 31—10 days before an Iranian drone breached Israeli airspace and was downed by an Israel Air Force Apache helicopter—the Iranians discovered the massive security breach, attempted to chase after the perpetrators and were "right on their tail."
Nevertheless, the Mossad agents managed to get the documents and themselves out of Iran. Most of the details surrounding the daring mission remain classified, including the code name that the spy agency assigned the operation.
Once the sensitive material arrived in Israel, numerous discussions were held to determine what to do with it. Some believed that, similar to past instances, the information should be anonymously leaked to foreign media outlets. Ultimately, however, due to a combination of factors, the decision was made to go public with the information without compromising intelligence sources and methods.

According to the report, the Mossad eventually exhausted its resources and asked the Israel Defense Forces's Military Intelligence Directorate to assist in the translation and analysis operation.
On Wednesday morning, Israeli intelligence officials were expected to hand over the most important documents — including those Netanyahu did not reveal Monday — to intelligence officials from Germany, France, Russia, Italy, China and Britain, as well as to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Discovery receives global coverage
Netanyahu's press conference on Monday garnered considerable coverage by the foreign press, shining a light on the issue ahead of US President Donald Trump's impending May 12 decision on whether to extend sanctions relief or withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran altogether.
In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Netanyahu said Iran does "not want the world to know what I showed the world yesterday."
Addressing concerns that recent events could lead to a regional war, Netanyahu said: "Nobody is seeking that kind of development."
He also rejected the claim that he had revealed little that was not already known by the international community, saying that had world powers had this information in 2015, they would not have agreed to the deal.
In its main editorial, meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday reported that Netanyahu "delivered a broadside to the Iran nuclear deal" ahead of the May 12 deadline. It said Iran is trying to preserve European support "amid uncertainty" surrounding its nuclear program.
"Netanyahu says he has 'conclusive proof' Iran lied about its nuclear weapons program," the British Daily Telegraph said in its headline.
The New York Times also covered the developments, writing in a headline that "Israel says secret files detail Iran's nuclear subterfuge."
However, according to the Times of London, Israel has "yet to convince" Europe on the nuclear deal.

Did you know that corn and peaches are officially here and in season? I mean they're not perfect but they are there, and just knowing they are there makes me squeal with delight. The best way to really showcase these fruits and veggies is to keep them raw or even lightly cooked (basically, let those babies breathe) and let the natural flavors burst through.
I'm going to be honest with you, I have always been curious about gazpacho but never really tried to make it. I figured, eh, it's something I could live without and boy, was I wrong. If you get farm fresh tomatoes (which will be in full bloom soon), you will be all set with a cold, tangy, vibrant soup that will keep you cool and energized this summer. And you top it with the peach corn salsa and a few tortilla chips and you have quite the fiesta in your mouth. Party in your mouth!!! WOO!
