In this letter, Christopher Columbus describes for the Court of Spain the islands and peoples encountered during his initial journey across the Atlantic Ocean to what is currently known as the Caribbean. Columbus reports taking possession of the group of islands he encountered thirty-three days after leaving the Andalusian port of Cadiz. In describing islands he calls Juana (Cuba) and Hispana (Haiti/Dominican Republic), he wonders at the abundance of flora and fauna on the islands, describing, among other things, palm trees and herbs that in number and size vastly exceed those available in Spain, and vividly notes the presence of gold and metals. Columbus recounts how the islands' inhabitants do not wear clothing, and lack weapons, and therefore he characterizes them as "by nature fearful and timid." He continues to characterize them as "trustworthy" and generous with their possessions, recounting how they traded gold for trifles like shoe-laces or ribbons like "persons without reason." Columbus speaks of winning the "Indians" friendship so "that they can be made worshipers of Christ" and, obviously, become Spanish subjects. Columbus goes on to describe how he admires their skill and intelligence, and to recount how he seized several inhabitants by force so that they may "learn" from them. He also recounts how the "Indians" believe that the Spanish have come from heaven. Columbus continues by describing the islands' size, and tells how, on the island he calls Hispana, he has left a group of men to build a fort and establish a settlement. He concludes his letter by arguing that the King [Ferdinand of Aragón] should support his enterprise with more funding because of the abundant resources he has found. Lastly, crediting Christ for his success, Columbus asks that the appropriate celebrations—rituals and processions—be made to thank God.
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian navigator and explorer whose voyages across the Atlantic ocean during the late-15th century were funded by the Queen of Spain [Isabel of Castile] initiating thus the process of colonizing the American continents and spreading awareness of them in Europe. This letter was addressed to the Spanish King Ferdinand of Aragón and was translated from Spanish into Latin by Aliander de Cosco in 1493 (the same year it was written). Columbus describes his encounter with the islands of the Antilles on the thirty-third day of this voyage from Southern Spain (Cadiz). Columbus' letter conveys a number of key themes of early conquest: His astonishment at the abundance of natural resources available on the islands, an attitude towards the islands' inhabitants that was both patronizing and admiring, his belief in the wealth that stood to be gained by Spain by possessing and exploiting the islands, as well as his conviction that the will of God and the force of the Spanish King were closely aligned.

What is crisis intervention training?
Law enforcement officers are often first line responders during a mental health crisis. Crisis intervention team programs create linkages between law enforcement, mental health clinicians, and people with mental illnesses to help improve outcomes from encounters between law enforcement officers and people with serious mental illnesses. You can help support these programs in your community by building coalitions with community leaders, reaching out to local law enforcement agencies, and advocating for these programs to be developed and sustained.

Thank you. I am 81 and started the CBD drops night and morning. I sleep better and no longer suffer the excruciating pain from diverticulitis. I saw somewhere that for my asthma I need the THC so got some (totally illegal here in South Africa). I think it is helping. The diagnosis of COPD was made some years ago and as a health psychologist I do all I can to remain healthy for my 97th birthday!! (Both my grandmother and greatgrandmother did so I believe I will too).
If you're dealing with depression, whether or not its related to your weight issues, working out and eating better are certainly ways to improve your mood. If you need an extra lift to get out of that rut, CBD is a known anti-depressant. While it relieves pain and inflammation, it can also relieve anxiety and help you see the brighter side of things.
Perhaps the most enjoyable way to take CBD is through CBD edibles. CBD edibles are food products that have been infused with hemp-derived CBD. Generally, CBD edibles contain a lower serving, usually 5 to 10 mg of CBD each, allowing you to easily increase or decrease your intake based on your individual wellness needs. CBD edibles come in the form of delicious CBD gummies and bite-sized CBD energy chews.
While CBD may be effective at treating some conditions, the exaggeration of claims results in a situation where it is bound to be called snake oil by some, and reasonably so. To be taken seriously, proponents need to start being real about what it has been shown to treat and what it has not. And we really must not allow one-off studies, rat studies, or anecdotes to be counted as real evidence.
It's important to remember, though, that these areas of study are still very new and in their early stages. This makes it hard to predict just how far their reach and impact will be. Combined with lifestyle and dietary changes, prescribed cannabinoid use will very likely be a pivotal intervention in the future of obesity and diabetes management and recovery.
Even as we witness the unrelenting growth of the hemp and cannabis markets across the U.S., most legal aspects of the industry continue to be shrouded in veritable shades of gray. Federal lawmakers remain stubborn in removing cannabidiol (CBD) from the DEA's list of Controlled Substances, even though the compound has recently been approved by the FDA to treat two rare forms of epilepsy.
But isn't that because we are more willing to break our laws? Think about it. Saudi Arabia, for example, has much stricter laws than we do governing every aspect of life. Why aren't they and countries like them the #1 incarcerators? I'm thinking either because their citizens are more law abiding by nature or are just plain scared of the barbaric punishments.
Most human studies of CBD have been done on people who have seizures, and the FDA recently approved the first CBD-based drug, Epidiolex, for rare forms of epilepsy. Clinical trials for other conditions are promising, but tiny. In one Brazilian study published in 2011 of people with generalized social anxiety disorder, for example, taking a 600-mg dose of CBD (higher than a typical dose from a tincture) lessened discomfort more than a placebo, but only a dozen people were given the pill.
This is why Amanda Oliver, 31, a career consultant in Charleston, SC, pops a CBD gummy bear each night before bed. "I used to lie there tossing and turning as my mind raced from work projects to whether I had set the home alarm," Oliver says. One piece of candy with 15 milligrams (mg) of CBD is enough to shut off her brain and facilitate sleep. She also swears by the CBD oil she takes at the height of her period, which she says quells her debilitating cramps.
CBD dosages for the treatment and management of health issues can range from 2.5mg to 25mg per day and upwards depending on the problem. The use the CBD Oil can also simply be a matter of daily maintenance for optimal health – daily dosage can range from 2.5mg to 10mg per day. It's now strongly believed that regular daily use of CBD Oil will reduce the chances of becoming ill in the first place even from major conditions so taking CBD Oil should be part of a wellness routine.
Because CBD oil is non-psychotropic and derived from low or zero THC hemp/cannabis strains it is generally defined as a dietary supplement and therefore is legal in most States and countries so should not pose any problem at a professional or competition level. Please consult your professional organization before assuming that this is the case in your jurisdiction. The United Nations – World Health Organisation (WHO) recently (14 Dec 2017) stated that Cannabidiol (CBD Oil) should no longer be scheduled as a controlled substance. In 2017 the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) and United States Anti-doping Agency (USADA) approved CBD for use by athletes in over 600 sports.
Our bodies are thought to produce endocannabinoids by the billions every day. "We always thought the 'runner's high' was due to the release of dopamine and endorphins. But now we know the euphoria is also from an endocannabinoid called anandamide," its name derived from the Sanskrit word for bliss, says Joseph Maroon, MD, clinical professor and vice chairman of neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We produce these natural chemicals all day, but they fade quickly because enzymes pop up to destroy them. That's where CBD comes in: By blocking these enzymes, CBD allows the beneficial compounds to linger.
CBD vaporizer oils can be used in a vaporizer of your choice. They offer a healthy way of inhaling your daily dose of the CBD supplement. Vaping is also a very direct way of ingesting CBD oil because the CBD compounds are absorbed very quickly through the lungs. CBD vape oil comes in convenient pre-filled CBD vape cartridges that connect easily with standard vaporizer batteries, as well as CBD vape liquid that can be used to fill the tanks of liquid-compatible vaporizers.
To make matters more confusing, nine states (including California, Washington, and Colorado) let residents buy cannabis-based products with or without THC. Nearly two dozen other "medical marijuana states" allow the sale of cannabis, including capsules, tinctures, and other items containing CBD or THC, at licensed dispensaries to people whose doctors have certified that they have an approved condition (the list varies by state but includes chronic pain, PTSD, cancer, autism, Crohn's disease, and multiple sclerosis). Sixteen more states legalized CBD for certain diseases.
We will be processing upwards of 60 tons of hemp this harvest for CBD without the use of "harsh chemicals". The process is the same for hemp as it is for any other variety of cannabis. Please stop misleading your readers. Furthermore, we are happy to provide a CoA for every product we manufacture. Consumers can trust a lot of US companies, including ours – the days of importing nasty paste from China are long behind the industry. Joshua Camp; CEO LabCanna LLC
Since the loosening of legal policy around cannabis and the growing evidence in support of its health benefits, CBD oil has become an integral part of a lot of peoples supplement stack, used as a recovery aid by helping to improve sleep and reduce exercise-induced inflammation. Personally, I've been taking it for a few weeks have felt real, tangible improvements in my sleep quality.

Communicating Effectively with the FDA
by Brandon Burch, Ph.D.
One of the most important aspects of any drug development program is the stream of interactions with regulatory authorities like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These interactions can take many forms, from formal submissions to phone calls, face-to-face meetings, or emails. In order to facilitate these interactions and ensure efficient communication between the sponsor (or their representatives) and the FDA, the FDA has published a guidance titled, Best Practices for Communication Between IND Sponsors and FDA During Drug Development.
In this post, we will review some of these best practices, along with valuable lessons taken from our own experience with the FDA.
Roles and Responsibilities for the FDA and Sponsor
Before we discuss communication strategies, it is probably helpful to step back for a moment and think about the FDA's worldview regarding sponsor vs. FDA responsibilities.
Sponsor Roles: As might be expected, the sponsor's primary role is to manage the drug development program. This role includes not only overseeing the necessary nonclinical and clinical studies and various quality and manufacturing aspects of the development program but also taking leadership on the regulatory side of things.
For example, the sponsor is responsible for determining the nature and timing of regulatory submissions, whether it is the initial Investigational New Drug (IND) application, IND updates, the marketing application (e.g., NDA, BLA), or some other submission. These submissions should be well-organized and complete, with failure on this point potentially resulting in undesirable consequences that, depending upon the type of submission, may include things like clinical hold, review delays, or rejection of the submission.
In addition to regulatory submissions, the sponsor is responsible for soliciting input from the FDA. This could include anything from quick communications with the FDA regulatory project manager to a request for a special protocol assessment to participation in formal meetings with the FDA.
FDA Roles: While the FDA can and should be seen as a partner in the drug development process, their primary function must always be viewed through the lens of regulatory compliance and patient safety. To this end, the FDA sees two of its primary responsibilities as ensuring the safety and rights of clinical trial participants and determining whether the quality of the scientific evaluations during Phases 2 and 3 is sufficient to permit evaluation of the drug's safety and effectiveness. As regulators, the FDA is responsible for enforcing statutory requirements, reviewing IND submissions, and taking regulatory action (e.g., clinical hold) when appropriate.
As noted above, the FDA is also a resource for sponsors to get advice on various aspects of their programs (generally provided through formal meetings). This advice may cover a wide range of topics from regulatory issues to clinical trial design, risk evaluation and mitigation, nonclinical studies, product quality issues, and many others.
In addition to these sponsor-facing roles, the FDA is responsible for promoting regulatory science through release of guidance documents, holding workshops, publishing in journals, and so forth. As anyone who has referenced an FDA guidance document or attended one of the FDA's workshops or webinars can attest, this function is vital for promoting efficiency and regulatory understanding within the drug development industry.
Dos and Don'ts for Effective Communication
The FDA/sponsor relationship is like any other relationship – the key to success lies in effective communication. Here we list some of the key considerations for keeping the communications lines as open and productive as possible.
Do contact the Regulatory Project Manager (RPM) assigned to your program. The review division RPM will be your primary contact for nearly everything, whether it's to ask a question, coordinate a meeting, or resolve some other issue. The review division RPM is a co-leader of the FDA review team and will be one of the most well-versed people at the FDA on your particular drug program and its regulatory history.
Do NOT contact reviewers. Direct communication with reviewers is strongly discouraged. This is important for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that any advice so obtained has not been assessed by the full review team, may not represent FDA's thinking on the topic, and may not be properly documented.
Do NOT contact the FDA unless you are authorized to do so. This applies most often to consultants working on behalf of clients. Authorization to act in this capacity must be in writing from the sponsor before any contact is made.
Do respect the chain of command. If there is a problem with receiving feedback from your assigned RPM, your first level of recourse includes contacting the RPM's direct supervisor (e.g., the review division's chief of the project management staff (CPMS) or branch chief). If problems persist, then the issue may be elevated to the review team supervisor or division/office management.
Do establish a communication strategy. This can be implemented at any time but the most benefit is gleaned when done early in development. These strategies are generally informal agreements but in certain cases it may be appropriate to elevate these to formal communication plans.
Do set up a secure email. Email will likely be the most commonly used form of communication during the development program. A secure email is necessary for any correspondence containing potentially sensitive or otherwise confidential information. Secure emails can be established by contacting FDA's Office of Information Management and Technology (OIMT; SecureEmail@fda.hhs.gov). Note that emails are not substitutes for formal submissions, which must be made (with few exceptions) via the FDA's Electronic Submissions Gateway.
Do follow-up phone calls with a written communication to the RPM. This is especially critical for anything more than very general or administrative questions or if any follow-up information has been requested by the FDA. Neither phone calls nor follow-up written correspondence is a substitute for a formal submission.
Do enlist the help of an experienced consultant. Whether you have lots of experience interacting with the FDA or none at all, receiving input from the right consulting group can help increase your chances of success. Nuventra is proud of its track record of successful FDA interactions and the breadth and depth of our consultants' experience across a wide range of drug programs, at all stages of development.
When it comes to timing, keep in mind that FDA resources are limited, which means that while the FDA strives to provide timely responses, you may not get immediate feedback. In general, safety-related inquiries get priority. Complex question(s) or inquiries concerning complex products (e.g., novel or combination products) may also require more time to respond. For this reason, it is recommended to pose complex questions as part of a meeting request or as a formal submission.
While some response times are mandated by statute (e.g., initial IND, complete response to clinical hold), many are not. In cases where there is no mandated response time, the FDA should provide an estimate of timing as part of their correspondence.
As with any relationship, remember that communication is a two-way street. As such, the burden of timely responses does not fall solely on the FDA. This means that sponsors should promptly acknowledge receipt of FDA correspondence and provide the FDA with an estimated response time. If the FDA provides a due date/time for the sponsor to respond to an information request, then the sponsor should make every attempt to submit the requested information by the appointed time. In (the hopefully rare) cases when the FDA's deadlines cannot be met, the sponsor should alert the FDA as soon as possible with a revised estimate for submission. Sponsors should be aware, however, that delayed responses may result in undesirable and sometimes costly consequences (e.g., clinical hold, delayed review).
The FDA has provided formal guidance on best practices for communication between sponsors and the FDA. This guidance provides a number of helpful strategies for streamlining communication and promoting efficiency.
In addition to what we have covered in this post, there are other nuances to interacting with the FDA that are not addressed in any guidance document, but their importance should not be underestimated. If you have a drug development program that could benefit from the experience that comes from many years of successful interactions with the FDA, please contact one of our senior consultants. We would be happy to show you how to ensure a smooth development process and prevent unnecessary and costly delays.

Home News Killers Of KBC Journalist Betty Barasa Finally Indentified (See Photos)
Killers Of KBC Journalist Betty Barasa Finally Indentified (See Photos)
Gunmen who shot and killed KBC journalist Betty Mutekhele Barasa made a very big blunder that may expose them.
According to detectives, the killers dropped a mobile phone just 50 metres from her home in Ngong, Kajiado County.
Detectives believe that the mobile phone, which was among four that had been stolen from the deceased's home, was dropped accidentally as they were fleeing the crime scene.
The gadget will act as a crucial piece of evidence and will help unlock the investigation into the heinous crime where the journalist was shot twice.
On the fateful Wednesday night, April 7, Mutekhele was accosted by three men outside her gate as she arrived at her Ngong home at around 8:30 pm.
The house help had gone to open the gate when she saw the trio who had been hiding in a nearby home that is still under construction.
She narrated that the gunmen threatened to kill them if they did not comply.
"When Betty saw that one of the thugs had pointed a gun at me, she screamed, then one of the other thugs ran towards her direction and also pointed a gun at her."
"They asked us to lead them to the house through the kitchen door," the house help stated.
On his part, the deceased's husband Geoffrey Barasa disclosed that the gunmen, who were covered in balaclavas and hand gloves, asked them to lie down.
"They told me to lift my left hand, I lifted and he picked my ring. That is the time when I had two bullets," Barasa narrated.
A police officer privy to the investigations disclosed that the thug was receiving instructions on phone from an unknown person.

I can really relate to this post. When I went into labor with my oldest son, now 42 years old, I had been coached in the mecca of natural childbirth with none other than Elizabeth Bing. We came to the hospital with our bottle of champagne, lolly pops etc. No one every mentioned what could go wrong and everything did. I labored for more than 18 hours with no progress. When the fetal monitor lost his heartbeat, I was rushed into the operating room for an emergency c-section. My son has issues that might relate to oxygen deprivation–no one knows. So ladies, take that epidural if it is right for you. Learn the flip side of the greatest experience.


Series: The Consolation Duet is the second duet in the Salvation Series. Although it can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend that you read the Belonging Duet first.
Liam wasn't supposed to be my happily ever after.
He wasn't even on my radar.
He was my husband's best friend—forbidden.
But my husband is dead and I'm alone. I ache for him and I reach for Liam.
One night with Liam changed everything.
I fell in love with Liam only to be left shattered into a million pieces. Again. The idea of being without him cripples me but the reality is, he's gone.
He doesn't understand and I can't make him.
If only he'd see the conviction behind my words—then Liam would be here.
Now I have to decide if it's him I love or if he was just the consolation prize all along.
I absolutely adore this fan-made book trailer. ALL THE FEELS!
Corinne writes military fiction/contemporary romance novels with strong independent women, alpha male Navy SEALs with a soft side, and some of the greatest side characters. The Belonging Duet, which includes Beloved and Beholden are the first two books in the Salvation Series. I read these two books in May, back-to-back. I had planned to read another book for the aforementioned event after Beloved; Corinne had other plans. She hit me with a gut punch I didn't see coming. Beloved ended in a way that I couldn't stop myself from starting Beholden immediately (even if it was almost 1am!).
You may be wondering why I've just been talking about the Belonging Duet and the series in general, when this is a review for the Consolation Duet. Here's why: we first meet Natalie in Beloved. Which is why I think, if you haven't already, you should really start at the beginning to get the full effect of this story. Although I loved Jackson from the Belonging, I fell fast and hard for Liam Dempsey in Consolation. Catherine and Jackson's relationship was full of passion and fire, but Liam and Natalie's romance was more of a a sweet and gentle slow burn.
Rocked by the tragic loss of her husband at the end of the Belonging Natalie is left pregnant and heartbroken. Unsure of how to move past the loss of her husband, Natalie finds and unexpected comfort in his best friend, Liam. Both Liam and Natalie are wracked with guilt over the feelings they have for each other. But he's gone. What they're doing isn't wrong. Can Natalie do it all over again? Give her heart to another soldier?
Liam slowly wins over Natalie's heart through his kindness and the love he shows for her daughter, Arabelle. Maybe it's just my maternal instincts kicking in but I can't help but swoon over a man who deeply cares for a child that's not his by blood. The way Liam is with Arabelle made my heart melt. He's what every single mother could hope for.
"He amazes me with the amount of care and tenderness he has. He's killed people, interrogated terrorists, climbed mountains, and who knows what, but with me . . . he's different"
I felt such a strong connection to Natalie. So many of her struggles have been my struggles. It was often hard for me to see feelings I've had written down on paper. I'm going to admit that a couple times I was tempted to give up and quit reading all together. I didn't want to admit to having those feelings. In the end I think her story was healing for me.
"Breathe and you'll figure this out. You're stronger than this."
I love the main characters in Corinne's books but the "best friends" she writes really bring home the story for me. They make the characters more relatable and make me wish I had girlfriends like Catherine and Natalie do. Catherine's best friend Ashton is witty yet supportive and wouldn't bat an eyelash at taking someone down, should they do her friend wrong. Reanell and Natalie have bonded over shared struggles and everything that comes along with being a military wife. When their husbands are deployed Reanell becomes Natalie's rock; her anchor. I have some friends who've become my anchors over time. Some days I don't know what I would do without them. Sadly they don't live close to me and too often I wish they could be there just to cry with me and be a shoulder to lean on. Just like Ashton and Reanell do for their friends.
To sum up my thoughts: I love this entire series! I LOVED this duet. I think I may have even enjoyed it more than the Belonging Duet. Mostly because of all the tender moments we got in these two novels and the stronger connection I had to the characters in the Consolation Duet. I am SO excited to get more of the Salvation Series in Corinne's upcoming release. Defenseless is Mark Dixon's story and he is one of those favorite side characters I was talking about. Keep scrolling for more information.

Mark Dixon doesn't know what he's getting into. He doesn't know his games could cost us our lives. I have to do what is necessary to keep us alive, and that means guarding my heart.
But I know I'm defenseless against him, and in the end, he'll force me to surrender.

Zee Hindustan will be Bharat's first no-anchor news channel
Subhash Chandra announces the revamped Zee Hindustan in a new and united avatar, talks about the vision of a diverse yet united Bharat that is capable of being a world leader.
Last Updated: Thursday, December 13th, 2018 - 17:18
In a video message, Shri Subhash Chandra has announced the new format of Zee Hindustan news channel. After greeting the nation in several different languages spoken by its diverse citizens, he explains the thought behind the new avatar of Zee Hindustan.
He said, "While there are 13 news channels by ZEE in every part of India and in different languages that bring news to you from across the nation, we thought 'why isn't there one single channel that beings to you news consolidated from every part of the nation?'"
Highlighting the underlying idea behind this new initiative he added, "And that's why we are starting this new journey with Zee Hindustan, staying true to its tag line of 'One Nation One News'."
"It will be the first ever channel that will connect the north to the south and the east to the west."
Another significant change that Zee Hindustan will introduce is, showcasing anchorless news, which will be direct from the camera to the eyes of its viewers. Subhash Ji said, "Whenever we think of switching on news on our mobiles or televisions we often visualise it with an anchor, right since news channels began in our country, from Dr. Prannoy Roy to Vinod Dua, Rajat Sharma and Sudhir Chaudhary. Each individual has their own thought process, and however hard we try it is inevitable that the anchor's thoughts reflect in the news he or she is presenting to you. To keep the neutrality of news intact, and to enhance it, we're presenting to you the country's first no-anchor news channel."
हमारे जितने बुद्धिजीवी हैं वे देश के बारे में भारत की तरह नहीं इंडिया की तरह सोचते हैं, लेकिन इंडिया का केवल ७२ वर्षों का इतिहास है। जबकि भारत का ६००० वर्षों से भी ज़्यादा। @Zee_Hindustan में अतीत की वो दासताएँ जिन्हें इतिहास के पुस्तकों में भी स्थान नहीं मिला, उसे सामने लाएँगे। pic.twitter.com/6kOz9O0rxl
— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) December 13, 2018
Talking about how this will benefit the viewer he explains that whatever is happening in front of the camera will be telecast as is to the viewer, "the camera never lies, it doesn't have bias" he aptly points out. "The nation's first anchor-less news channel will reinforce your right to know unbiased news as it happens."
Shedding light on another important observation, Subhash Ji said, "The news media or intelligentsia of the country do not view our nation as 'Bharat', they look at it as India. But we believe that India's history is only 72 years old whereas the history of Bharat or Hindustan is over six thousand years old."
Giving this the place of significance it deserves, both culturally and historically, he stated, "On Zee Hindustan, we will not only talk about the nation's politics but also its culture, about its glorious past that have unfortunately been side-lined in our history books. Our golden history will be presented to you so that our coming generations are proud of our rich heritage."
"We will revisit the pages of history to release its fragrance for the new generation, and it will become a bridge joining our rich heritage, culture, history, knowledge and science. With this we will be able to see that the dream of making Bharat a world leader is truly achievable." he elaborated.
Emphasizing the nation-wide appeal of the channel, he assured the viewers that the channel will cater to a diverse yet united Bharat.

Soldado to join Fenerbahce
Soldado AFP
By Ayodele Oluwagbemi
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Roberto Soldado is set to join Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce after two seasons at Villarreal in his native Spain, the Istanbul club said on Wednesday.
An agreement with Spain international Soldado has been reached in principle, Fenerbahce said.
The player will arrive in Istanbul later Wednesday to finalise the deal.
After stints at Spanish sides including Real Madrid and Valencia, Soldado joined Tottenham in 2013, staying with the English Premiership side for two seasons.
He joined Villarreal in 2015 but much of last season was blighted by a knee injury.
Fenerbahce are looking to reinforce their side after finishing well behind champions Besiktas and surprise runners-up Basaksehir Istanbul in the Turkish Super Lig last season, thus missing out on a Champions League place.

Other signings for Fenerbahce in the close season have included Moroccan international defender Nabil Dirar, French attacking midfielder Mathieu Valbuena and Chilean international defender Mauricio Isla.
Ahead of the start of the 2017/2018 season in Turkey at the weekend, all the giant Istanbul sides have been intensely active in the search for available foreign players during the transfer window.
Galatasaray, who finished fourth in the Super Lig last season, have signed Brazilian midfielder Fernando from Manchester City as well as French international striker Bafetimbi Gomis from Swansea.
Champions Besiktas meanwhile have nabbed Portuguese international Pepe from Real Madrid and Spain's Alvaro Negredo from Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, Besiktas this week also confirmed that Sunderland forward Jeremain Lens of the Netherlands would play for the club on loan this season, with an option to buy him at the season's end.

Topic: Entrepreneurship
The case describes the founding process of a unique human capital assessment venture based out of Bangalore, India. Particular emphasis is placed on how the founding team was assembled and the contributions and inducements offered to the different team members. The case focuses on four structural aspects of founding teams: (i) incentive alignment within the team (ii) complementarity of skills and social capital (iii) Fit in terms of values and (iv) Governance issues when the shareholders are also operating executives. The key short-term challenge facing the protagonists revolve around how to rescue the venture from a cash flow crisis which could lead to bankruptcy. The longer term issue is whether structural flaws in the current founding team could lead to significant governance issues that could drive an otherwise promising venture into the ground. The case is designed to have users (i) identify the key structural issues in founding team design and (ii) diagnose what could go wrong with a particular structure - especially if the venture gets into a growth trajectory. In addition, the case can also be used to illustrate the importance of cash management in new ventures and raising funds in a tight market.
The key teaching objective of the case is to lay out a framework on founding team composition so as to minimize predictable tensions and conflicts and maximize the chances of building a solid organization. The case is useful to illustrate the importance of aligning incentives within the team, paying attention to complementary skills and social networks, and the importance of shareholder agreements as a way to set the rules of the game governing shareholder behavior in start-ups. In addition, the case outlines the importance of cash management in start-ups.

Stars of the cult drama series 24 have attacked media executives such as Rupert Murdoch for perpetuating stereotypes about women and ethnic minorities.
Leslie Hope, who plays the wife of the lead character in 24, made for the Murdoch-owned Fox network in the US and shown in Britain on BBC2, said she feared the second series would be diluted with "beautiful women in their 20s" on the orders of television chiefs.
Fear of upsetting viewers led to stereotypical casting: "Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and it all comes back to one man. The business is all about money," Hope told the Guardian at the Monte Carlo television festival at the weekend.
She feared that executives want to inject a younger, sexier element into the second series of 24, which is about to go into production.
"When they put out a casting call for a bunch of beautiful women in their 20s, you have to ask yourself why," she said.
The show's independent-minded British director, Stephen Hopkins, is not returning for the second series, and Hope said she feared his successors might not be able to withstand the pressure from network executives. "The tone might shift into a new area. For the sake of the show, I'd be concerned about that."
Dennis Haysbert, who plays a black presidential candidate, said African Americans were usually cast as "drug addicts, criminals or judges".
Hope's character, Teri Bauer; is strong and independent - unusual characteristics for women on American television, she said. Reactions have been mixed: when a kidnapper raped her character, some viewers could not believe that she reacted by internalising the experience rather than by emotionally breaking down.
"They couldn't believe that a woman could have reacted like that."
Haysbert said the black characters in 24 had a rare depth and complexity.
The series has been a critical success on both sides of the Atlantic.

Obama camp 'prepared to talk to Hamas'
Incoming administration will abandon Bush's isolation of Islamist group to initiate low-level diplomacy, say transition sources
Jonathan Freedland: Talking to Hamas is a step toward peace

Thu 8 Jan 2009 22.18 EST
The incoming Obama administration is prepared to abandon George Bush's doctrine of isolating Hamas by establishing a channel to the Islamist organisation, sources close to the transition team say.
The move to open contacts with Hamas, which could be initiated through the US intelligence services, would represent a definitive break with the Bush presidency's ostracising of the group. The state department has designated Hamas a terrorist organisation, and in 2006 Congress passed a law banning US financial aid to the group.
The Guardian has spoken to three people with knowledge of the discussions in the Obama camp. There is no talk of Obama approving direct diplomatic negotiations with Hamas early on, but he is being urged by advisers to initiate low-level or clandestine approaches, and there is growing recognition in Washington that the policy of ostracising Hamas is counter-productive. A tested course would be to start contacts through Hamas and the US intelligence services, similar to the secret process through which the US engaged with the PLO in the 1970s. Israel did not become aware of the contacts until much later.
A UN resolution was agreed last night at the UN, calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Hamas and Israeli forces in Gaza. The resolution was passed, though the US, represented by secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, abstained.
Richard Haass, a diplomat under both Bush presidents who was named by a number of news organisations this week as Obama's choice for Middle East envoy, supports low-level contacts with Hamas provided there is a ceasefire in place and a Hamas-Fatah reconciliation emerges.
Another potential contender for a foreign policy role in the Obama administration suggested that the president-elect would not be bound by the Bush doctrine of isolating Hamas.
"This is going to be an administration that is committed to negotiating with critical parties on critical issues," the source said.
There are a number of options that would avoid a politically toxic scenario for Obama of seeming to give legitimacy to Hamas.
"Secret envoys, multilateral six-party talk-like approaches. The total isolation of Hamas that we promulgated under Bush is going to end," said Steve Clemons, the director of the American Strategy Programme at the New America Foundation. "You could do something through the Europeans. You could invent a structure that is multilateral. It is going to be hard for the neocons to swallow," he said. "I think it is going to happen."
But one Middle East expert close to the transition team said: "It is highly unlikely that they will be public about it."
The two weeks since Israel began its military campaign against Gaza have heightened anticipation about how Obama intends to deal with the Middle East. He adopted a strongly pro-Israel position during the election campaign, as did his erstwhile opponent and choice for secretary of state, Hillary Clinton. But it is widely thought Obama would adopt a more even-handed approach once he is president.
His main priority now, in the remaining days before his inauguration, is to ensure the crisis does not rob him of the chance to set his own foreign policy agenda, rather than merely react to events.
"We will be perceived to be weak and feckless if we are perceived to be on the margins, unable to persuade the Israelis, unable to work with the international community to end this," said Aaron David Miller, a former state department adviser on the Middle East.
"Unless he is prepared to adopt a policy that is tougher, fairer and smarter than both of his predecessors you might as well hang a closed-for-the-season sign on any chance of America playing an effective role in defusing the current crisis or the broader crisis," he said.
Obama has defined himself in part by his willingness to talk to America's enemies. But the president-elect would be wary of being seen to give legitimacy to Hamas as a consequence of the war in Gaza.
Bruce Hoffman, a counterterrorism expert at Georgetown University's school of foreign service, said it was unlikely that Obama would move to initiate contacts with Hamas unless the radical faction in Damascus was crippled by the conflict in Gaza. "This would really be dependent on Hamas's military wing having suffered a real, almost decisive, drubbing."
Even with such caveats, there is growing agreement, among Republicans as well as Democrats, on the need to engage Hamas to achieve a sustainable peace in the Middle East – even among Obama's close advisers. In an article published on Wednesday on the website Foreign Affairs, but apparently written before the fighting in Gaza, Haass, who is president of the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote: "If the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas continues to hold and a Hamas-PA reconciliation emerges, the Obama administration should deal with the joint Palestinian leadership and authorise low-level contact between US officials and Hamas in Gaza." The article was written with Martin Indyk, a former US ambassador to Israel and an adviser to Hillary Clinton.
Obama has said repeatedly that restoring America's image in the world would rank among the top priorities of his administration, and there has been widespread praise for his choice of Clinton as secretary of state and Jim Jones, the former Marine Corps commandant, as his national security adviser.
He is expected to demonstrate that commitment to charting a new foreign policy within days when he is expected to name a roster of envoys to take charge of key foreign policy areas: Iran, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, India-Pakistan, and North Korea.
Obama has frustrated and confused those who had been looking for a more evenhanded approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by his refusal to make any substantive comment on Israel's military campaign on Gaza, nearly two weeks on.
He said on Wednesday: "We cannot be sending a message to the world that there are two different administrations conducting foreign policy.
"Until I take office, it would be imprudent of me to start sending out signals that somehow we are running foreign policy when I am not legally authorised to do so."

In this thesis, I seek to identify the best practices that can lead to an increase in community service and volunteerism. After the loss of my mentor led me on a path to make a difference through community service, I decided that volunteerism is an especially important area of interest to understand. Through secondary research, I have identified the many benefits of volunteerism specifically mental health, professional development, and more. Then to explain what drives people to volunteer, I investigate three major theoretical frameworks which are self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan), functional theory (Clary and Snyder), and social responsibility theory (Cheng et al) and relate them to peoples' motivation to volunteer. In addition to looking into these theories, it is important to understand some additional factors which are the effect of mandatory volunteerism, age, and the missions of different organizations on an individual's desire to volunteer. After analyzing the prior research, I found that social responsibility drives group volunteerism, functional motivation is what explains individuals' drives to participate in community service, and the self-determination can help explain what creates strong volunteer retention. Furthermore, mandatory volunteerism, age, and the goals of organizations can have signifigant impacts on people's drive to get involved in community service. After investigating the prior research, I interviewed four managers of non-profits to see if their views aligned with my findings. There answers and views were found to be consistent with the ideas I drew from prior research and helped me conclude that organization must factor age, mandatory volunteerism, and the mission of their non-profit into recruitment and retention efforts. Furthermore, non-profits should understand social responsibility theory and functional theory to recruit volunteers effectivly, and self-determination theory to retain their volunteers.

This project analyzes the large array of managerial leadership research in congruence with the wide field of workplace communication to attempt to determine the importance of refining communication channels between managers and employees as well as articulate the core competencies a manager should exhibit when practicing exemplary communication in their respective work environment. The preliminary sections of this thesis will establish the currently existing foundations utilized and narrow the wide range of research available to applicable information regarding positive workplace communication, influencing factors in a feedback loop from the employee's perspective, as well as leadership aspects and actions a manager can alter or initiate to improve their workplace's environment through communicational refinement. This research is supplemented with a survey that was administered to Arizona State University student leaders who were involved in coordinating the Regional Business Conference on the Polytechnic campus. The survey data is designed to either confirm or contradict the findings of the literature. The objective of this project is to synthesize an overview of a manager's responsibilities and recommend actions to tailor and improve workplace communication

Single-use plastic has rapidly increased pollution in the United States, and the urgency to address its growing consequences is a complex undertaking. Significantly contributing to plastic pollution is the waste of single-use beverage plastics like cups and straws. In order to make impactful changes in the supply chain of single-use beverage plastics, we must first understand the stakeholders involved and the current extent of their actions. Therefore, this paper will investigate how stakeholders elicit sustainable changes to improve supply chain practices in this particular situation. We will use principles of sustainable supply chain management including corporate social responsibility and the triple bottom line model as the theoretical framework. Methodology consists of a stakeholder analysis where we conduct literature review, a consumer survey analysis, and interviews with industry experts to examine how various stakeholders elicit sustainably focused change. Essential insights made will be to understand different stakeholder actions and perspectives in relation to single-use beverage plastics, and how they contribute to creating sustainable changes in the larger context of plastic pollution control.

Carbon allotropes are the basis for many exciting advancements in technology. While sp² and sp³ hybridizations are well understood, the sp¹ hybridized carbon has been elusive. However, with recent advances made using a pulsed laser ablation in liquid technique, sp¹ hybridized carbon allotropes have been created. The fabricated carbon chain is composed of sp¹ and sp³ hybridized bonds, but it also incorporates nanoparticles such as gold or possibly silver to stabilize the chain. The polyyne generated in this process is called pseudocarbyne due to its striking resemblance to the theoretical carbyne. The formation of these carbon chains is yet to be fully understood, but significant progress has been made in determining the temperature of the plasma in which the pseudocarbyne is formed. When a 532 nm pulsed laser with a pulsed energy of 250 mJ and pulse length of 10ns is used to ablate a gold target, a peak temperature of 13400 K is measured. When measured using Laser-Induced Breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) the average temperature of the neutral carbon plasma over one second was 4590±172 K. This temperature strongly suggests that the current theoretical model used to describe the temperature at which pseudocarbyne generates is accurate.

Ensuring that people across the globe have enough water and electricity are two large issues that continue to grow. This study performs a test on whether using solar photovoltaic modules to shade water can potentially help diminish the issues of water and power. Using the setup of a PV module shading water, a stand-alone PV module, and unshaded water, it was found that shading water can reduce evaporation and lower PV module operating temperature at the same time. Using averaged data from two days of testing, the volume per unit surface area of water that evaporated per hour was 0.319 cm3/cm2 less for the shaded water compared to the unshaded water. The evaporation rates found in the experiment are compared to those of Lake Mead to see the amount of water lost on a large scale. For the operating temperature of the PV module, the module used for shading had a consistently lower temperature than the stand-alone module. On the first day, the shading module had an average temperature 5.1 C lower than the stand-alone module average temperature. On day two, the shading module had an average temperature 3.4 C lower than the stand-alone module average temperature. Using average temperatures between the two days from 10:30am and 4:45pm, the average daily temperature of the panel used for shading was 4.5C less than the temperature of the stand-alone panel. These results prove water shading by solar PV modules to be effective in reducing evaporation and lowering module operating temperature. Last, suggestions for future studies are discussed, such as performance analysis of the PV modules in this setting, economic analysis of using PV modules as shading, and the isolation of the different factors of evaporation (temperature, wind speed, and humidity).

Perfection's Reflection: Influencers on Bodybuilder Behavior is an honors thesis project that provides insight on the impact of influencers and may be a value to those who wish to be influential to competitive bodybuilders. Six current and former competitive bodybuilders explained the impact of influencers in seven key themes: 1.) Body dissatisfaction, 2.) Inspiration, 3.) Imitation, 4.) Motivation, 5.) Skepticism and distrust, 6.) Information, and 7.) Avoidance. These seven key themes were identified throughout three stages of the bodybuilders' journeys, "The Beginning," during their early childhood to high school years, "The Middle," the start of their bodybuilding careers, and "The End," the present day. It is concluded that influencers may impact competitive bodybuilders differently based on the stage of their journeys and to be influential, one should provide the ideal impact based on bodybuilders' stage of their journeys.

Youth voters in the US have had a steadily declining turnout since the right to vote was expanded to include 18-20 year old citizens in 1971. The decline appears to be related to both internal reasons and external reasons. Internal reasons include apathy about the political process, while external reasons can include voter suppression tactics such as voter identification laws and laws preventing felons from voting. For those that currently participate in the political process, social media appears to play a big part in youth spreading their political opinions. The recent expansion of early voting has resulted in more young people voting by early voting, showing that making voting more accessible allows young people to exercise their political voice through voting. Despite internal and external obstacles young voters face while voting, new voting methods have the potential to expand the turnout of youth voters.

This thesis aimed to develop a consistent protocol used to effectively image the apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 allele, which is a known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The research team used methods to extract DNA from saliva samples, amplify the DNA using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and image the results using gel electrophoresis and a transilluminator. Extensive literature review was used to optimize these techniques. Future studies will use these methods of characterizing the ApoE ε4 allele as preliminary work towards the goal of integrating this protocol into ongoing research in aging within the Motor Rehabilitation and Learning (MRL) Lab on Arizona State University's campus.

I want some help to convert this function in to the php function  . what is the similar syntex or similar function in  the relevant function in the php code . anybody can help with this . if i get some of the changes list need to make then it would be great .Thanks in advance .

A: First of all, i highly recommend to refactor your code before converting this to PHP. This is simply done by having two array and loop over them both whilest checking the characters. This will replace most of the statements.
A example ( in php ):
 $characters = array("{", "}", "\\", "[", "]", "~", "|", "€");
    $text = array();
    $num = 0;
    $num2 = 0;
    $num3 = 0;

    foreach($characters as $char)
    {
        if($text[$num3] == $char  )
        {
            $num2++;
        }else
        {
            $num = 1;
        }
    }

I've tried to keep the logic of the current code intact. Only implemented less obsolete/redundant.
Now this leaves us with the first 3 if statements. This is a perfect canidate for regex. Using preg_match in PHP you can easily replace those 3 if statements.
A PHP example:
    $text = "abcABC123";
    $regex = "/[a-zA-Z0-9]/";

    if(preg_match($regex, $text))
    {
        //Do stuff
    }

For the rest of the code is fairly straight forward and is mostly logic. One thing is for sure, please look into how to implements certain things more effeciently. It helps you and people who will work with the code in the future :)

And the young shall inherit the 'Horns, Heard leads UT past Rice
By Zach BarnettSep 12, 2015, 11:26 PM EDT
After one of the longest weeks in recent memory, in which the team was shellacked in South Bend, leading to Charlie Strong to demote play-caller Shawn Watson and Mack Brown washing his hands of the mess he left behind, it was safe to say Texas needed this. Jerrod Heard and a bunch of freshman led the Longhorns to a 42-28 win over Rice, in what felt like a ceremonial turning of the page from whatever the past six years have been to whatever the next few years could become.
Heard, a redshirt freshman and a two-time state champion from Denton, Texas, earned the first start of his career and made an immediate impact, accounting for 78 yards (40 passing, 38 rushing) on an 80-yard opening touchdown drive. Heard and an explosive punt return unit (141 yards between returns by Daje Johnson and Duke Thomas) pushed Texas to a 21-0 lead after one quarter.
It was the third quarter, however, that showed the promise of what Texas football could become. Heard opened the frame by hitting true freshman John Burt for a 69-yard touchdown, the team's first third quarter touchdown in 13 games. The Longhorns pushed the lead to 35-14 when true freshman Kris Boyd forced a Driphus Jackson fumble and true freshman Malik Jefferson picked it up and raced 26 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore D'Onta Foreman closed the quarter with a two-yard touchdown plunge.
In all, Heard finished the game by completing 4-of-7 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns and rushing 10 times for a team-high 96 yards.
In showing its promise, Texas also revealed its limitations on Saturday night. While the Longhorns won the odd-numbered quarters 42-0, they lost the evens 28-0. Rice consistently exploited a soft underbelly in the Longhorns' defense, rushing 58 times for 228 yards and converting 13 of their 17 third downs. Those stats allowed Rice massive advantages in first downs (30-11), total plays (96-38), total yards (462-277) and time of possession (44:02 to 15:58). If not for Texas's explosive plays in the passing and kicking games and a 5-1 turnover edge, Rice could easily have won this game.
Texas (1-1) moves to 41-1 since 1966 against Rice; the 'Horns have now marked a full 50 years since last falling to the Owls in Austin. The Longhorns will host California next week in a critical game for Strong and company. Rice (1-1) visits North Texas next week.

Scheide Digital Collections
The Scheide Library was gifted to Princeton's Firestone Library in 2015. The collection had been housed within Firestone since 1959, when William H. Scheide '36 moved the collection from his hometown of Titusville, Pennsylvania. It holds the first six printed editions of the Bible, starting with the 1455 Gutenberg Bible, the earliest substantial European printed book; the original printing of the Declaration of Independence; Beethoven's autograph (in his own handwriting) music sketchbook for 1815-16, the only outside Europe; Shakespeare's first, second, third and fourth folios; significant autograph music manuscripts of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Wagner; a lengthy autograph speech by Abraham Lincoln from 1856 on the problems of slavery; and Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's original letter and telegram copy books from the last weeks of the Civil War.
Collection Strengths
The Scheide Library is the only library outside Europe to include all 18 of the pre-Luther German Bible editions, the earliest of which is the edition printed by Johan Mentelin in Strasbourg [before 27 June 1466].
The Scheide Library has a large (about 150 volumes) collection of 15th century books. These have been given to the Princeton University Library and include an important collection of books printed by Johann Gutenberg and his partners. Primary is a copy of the famous Gutenberg Bible.
